August 9, 1842: Veto Message Regarding Import Duties
Presidential Speeches | John Tyler Presidency
To the House of Representatives of the United States:
It is with unfeigned regret that I find myself under the necessity of returning to the House of Representatives with my objections a bill entitled "An act to provide revenue from imports, and to change and modify existing laws imposing duties on imports, and for other purposes." Nothing can be more painful to any individual called upon to perform the Chief Executive duties under our limited Constitution than to be constrained to withhold his assent from an important measure adopted by the Legislature. Yet he would neither fulfill the high purposes of his station nor consult the true interests or the solemn will of the people--the common constituents of both branches of the Government--by yielding his well-considered, most deeply fixed, and repeatedly declared opinions on matters of great public concernment to those of a coordinate department without requesting that department seriously to reexamine the subject of their difference. The exercise of some independence of judgment in regard to all acts of legislation is plainly implied in the responsibility of approving them. At all times a duty, it becomes a peculiarly solemn and imperative one when the subjects passed upon by Congress happen to involve, as in the present instance, the most momentous issues, to affect variously the various parts of a great country, and to have given rise in all quarters to such a conflict of opinion as to render it impossible to conjecture with any certainty on which side the majority really is. Surely if the pause for reflection intended by the wise authors of the Constitution by referring the subject back to Congress for reconsideration be ever expedient and necessary it is precisely such a case as the present.
On the subject of distributing the proceeds of the sales of the public lands in the existing state of the finances it has been my duty to make known my settled convictions on various occasions during the present session of Congress. At the opening of the extra session, upward of twelve months ago, sharing fully in the general hope of returning prosperity and credit, I recommended such a distribution, but that recommendation was even then expressly coupled with the condition that the duties on imports should not exceed the rate of 20 per cent provided by the compromise act of 1833. These hopes were not a little encouraged and these views strengthened by the report of Mr. Ewing, then Secretary of the Treasury, which was shortly thereafter laid before Congress, in which he recommended the imposition of duties at the rate of 20 per cent ad valorem on all free articles, with specified exceptions, and stated "if this measure be adopted there will be received in the Treasury from customs in the last quarter of the present year $5,300,000; in all of the year 1842, about $22,500,000; and in the year 1843, after the final reduction under the act of March 2, 1833, about $20,800,000;" and adds:
It is believed that after the heavy expenditures required by the public service in the present year shall have been provided for, the revenues which will accrue from that or a nearly approximate rate of duty will be sufficient to defray the expenses of the Government and leave a surplus to be annually applied to the gradual payment of the national debt, leaving the proceeds of the public lands to be disposed of as Congress shall see fit.
I was most happy that Congress at the time seemed entirely to concur in the recommendations of the Executive, and, anticipating the correctness of the Secretary's conclusions, and in view of an actual surplus, passed the distribution act of the 4th September last, wisely limiting its operation by two conditions having reference, both of them, to a possible state of the Treasury different from that which had been anticipated by the Secretary of the Treasury and to the paramount necessities of the public service. It ordained that "if at any time during the existence of that act there should be an imposition of duties on imports inconsistent with the provision of the act of the 2d March, 1833, and beyond the rate of duties fixed by that act, to wit, 20 per cent on the value of such imports or any of them, then the distribution should be suspended, and should continue so suspended until that cause should be removed." By a previous clause it had, in a like spirit of wise and cautious patriotism, provided for another case, in which all are even now agreed, that the proceeds of the sales of the public lands should be used for the defense of the country. It was enacted that the act should continue and be in force until otherwise provided by law, unless the United States should become involved in war with any foreign power, in which event, from the commencement of hostilities, the act should be suspended until the cessation of hostilities.
Not long after the opening of the present session of Congress the unprecedented and extraordinary difficulties that have recently embarrassed the finances of the country began to assume a serious aspect. It soon became quite evident that the hopes under which the act of 4th September was passed, and which alone justified it in the eyes either of Congress who imposed or of the Executive who approved, the first of the two conditions just recited were not destined to be fulfilled. Under the pressure, therefore, of the embarrassments which had thus unexpectedly arisen it appeared to me that the course to be pursued had been clearly marked out for the Government by that act itself. The condition contemplated in it as requiring a suspension of its operation had occurred. It became necessary in the opinions of all to raise the rate of duties upon imports above 20 per cent; and with a view both to provide available means to meet present exigencies and to lay the foundation for a successful negotiation of a loan, I felt it incumbent on me to urge upon Congress to raise the duties accordingly, imposing them in a spirit of a wise discrimination for the twofold object of affording ample revenue for the Government and incidental protection to the various branches of domestic industry. I also pressed, in the most emphatic but respectful language I could employ, the necessity of making the land sales available to the Treasury, as the basis of public credit. I did not think that I could stand excused, much less justified, before the people of the United States, nor could I reconcile it to myself to recommend the imposition of additional taxes upon them without at the same time urging the employment of all the legitimate means of the Government toward satisfying its wants. These opinions were communicated in advance of any definitive action of Congress on the subject either of the tariff or land sales, under a high sense of public duty and in compliance with an express injunction of the Constitution, so that if a collision, extremely to be deprecated, as such collisions always are, has seemingly arisen between the executive and legislative branches of the Government, it has assuredly not been owing to any capricious interference or to any want of a plain and frank declaration of opinion on the part of the former. Congress differed in its views with those of the Executive, as it had undoubtedly a right to do, and passed a bill virtually for a time repealing the proviso of the act of the 4th September, 1841. The bill was returned to the House in which it originated with my objections to its becoming a law. With a view to prevent, if possible, an open disagreement of opinion on a point so important, I took occasion to declare that I regarded it as an indispensable prerequisite to an increase of duties above 20 per cent that the act of the 4th September should remain unrepealed in its provisions. My reasons for that opinion were elaborately set forth in the message which accompanied the return of the bill, which no constitutional majority appears to have been found for passing into a law.
The bill which is now before me proposes in its twenty-seventh section the total repeal of one of the provisos in the act of September, and, while it increases the duties above 20 per cent, directs an unconditional distribution of the land proceeds. I am therefore subjected a second time in the period of a few days to the necessity of either giving my approval to a measure which, in my deliberate judgment, is in conflict with great public interests or of returning it to the House in which it originated with my objections. With all my anxiety for the passage of a law which would replenish an exhausted Treasury and furnish a sound and healthy encouragement to mechanical industry, I can not consent to do so at the sacrifice of the peace and harmony of the country and the clearest convictions of public duty.
For some of the reasons which have brought me to this conclusion I refer to my previous messages to Congress, and briefly subjoin the following:
1. The bill unites two subjects which, so far from having any affinity to one another, are wholly incongruous in their character. It is both a revenue and an appropriation bill. It thus imposes on the Executive, in the first place, the necessity of either approving that which he would reject or rejecting that which he might otherwise approve. This is a species of constraint to which the judgment of the Executive ought not, in my opinion, to be subjected. But that is not my only objection to the act in its present form. The union of subjects wholly dissimilar in their character in the same bill, if it grew into a practice, would not fail to lead to consequences destructive of all wise and conscientious legislation. Various measures, each agreeable only to a small minority, might by being thus united--and the more the greater chance of success--lead to the passing of laws of which no single provision could if standing alone command a majority in its favor.
2. While the Treasury is in a state of extreme embarrassment, requiring every dollar which it can make available, and when the Government has not only to lay additional taxes, but to borrow money to meet pressing demands, the bill proposes to give away a fruitful source of revenue--which is the same thing as raising money by loan and taxation--not to meet the wants of the Government, but for distribution--a proceeding which I must regard as highly impolitic, if not unconstitutional.
A brief review of the present condition of the public finances will serve to illustrate the true condition of the Treasury and exhibit its actual necessities:
On the 5th of August (Friday last) there was in the
Treasury, in round numbers------------------------------------------------------ $2,150,000
Necessary to be retained to meet trust funds -------------------------------------- $360,000
Interest on public debt due in October----------------------------------------------- 80,000
To redeem Treasury notes and pay the interest-------------------------------------- 100,000
Land distribution under the act of the 4th of September, 1841--------------------- 640,000
Leaving an available amount of----------------------------------------------- 970,000
The Navy Department had drawn requisitions on the Treasury at that time to meet debts actually due, among which are bills under protest for 1,414,000, thus leaving an actual deficit of $444,000.
There was on hand about $100,000 of unissued Treasury notes, assisted by the accruing revenue (amounting to about $150,000 per week, exclusive of receipts on unpaid bonds), to meet requisitions for the Army and the demands of the civil list.
The withdrawal of the sum of $640,000 to be distributed among the States, so soon as the statements and accounts can be made up and completed, by virtue of the provisions of the act of the 4th of September last (of which nearly a moiety goes to a few States, and only about $383,000 is to be divided among all the States), while it adds materially to the embarrassments of the Treasury, affords to the States no decided relief.
No immediate relief from this state of things is anticipated unless (what would most deeply be deplored) the Government could be reconciled to the negotiation of loans already authorized by law at a rate of discount ruinous in itself and calculated most seriously to affect the public credit. So great is the depression of trade that even if the present bill were to become a law and prove to be productive some time would elapse before sufficient supplies would flow into the Treasury, while in the meantime its embarrassments would be continually augmented by the semiannual distribution of the land proceeds.
Indeed, there is but too much ground to apprehend that even if this bill were permitted to become a law--alienating, as it does, the proceeds of the land sales--an actual deficit in the Treasury would occur, which would more than probably involve the necessity of a resort to direct taxation.
Let it be also remarked that $5,500,000 of the public debt becomes redeemable in about two years and a half, which at any sacrifice must be met, while the Treasury is always liable to demands for the payment of outstanding Treasury notes. Such is the gloomy picture which our financial department now presents, and which calls for the exercise of a rigid economy in the public expenditures and the rendering available of all the means within the control of the Government. I most respectfully submit whether this is a time to give away the proceeds of the land sales when the public lands constitute a fund which of all others may be made most useful in sustaining the public credit. Can the Government be generous and munificent to others when every dollar it can command is necessary to supply its own wants? And if Congress would not hesitate to suffer the provisions of the act of 4th September last to remain unrepealed in case the country was involved in war, is not the necessity for such a course now just as imperative as it would be then?
3. A third objection remains to be urged, which would be sufficient in itself to induce me to return the bill to the House with my objections. By uniting two subjects so incongruous as tariff and distribution it inevitably makes the fate of the one dependent upon that of the other in future contests of party. Can anything be more fatal to the merchant or manufacturer than such an alliance? What they most of all require is a system of moderate duties so arranged as to withdraw the tariff question, as far as possible, completely from the arena of political contention. Their chief want is permanency and stability. Such an increase of the tariff I believe to be necessary in order to meet the economical expenditures of Government. Such an increase, made in the spirit of moderation and judicious discrimination, would, I have no doubt, be entirely satisfactory to the great majority of the American people. In the way of accomplishing a measure so salutary and so imperatively demanded by every public interest, the legislative department will meet with a cordial cooperation on the part of the Executive. This is all that the manufacturer can desire, and it would be a burden readily borne by the people. But I can not too earnestly repeat that in order to be beneficial it must be permanent, and in order to be permanent it must command general acquiescence. But can such permanency be justly hoped for if the tariff question be coupled with that of distribution, as to which a serious conflict of opinion exists among the States and the people, and which enlists in its support a bare majority, if, indeed, there be a majority, of the two Houses of Congress? What permanency or stability can attach to a measure which, warring upon itself, gives away a fruitful source of revenue at the moment it proposes a large increase of taxes on the people? Is the manufacturer prepared to stake himself and his interests upon such an issue?
I know that it is urged (but most erroneously, in my opinion) that instability is just as apt to be produced by retaining the public lands as a source of revenue as from any other cause, and this is ascribed to a constant fluctuation, as it is said, in the amount of sales. If there were anything in this objection, it equally applies to every imposition of duties on imports. The amount of revenue annually derived from duties is constantly liable to change. The regulations of foreign governments, the varying productiveness of other countries, periods of excitement in trade, and a great variety of other circumstances are constantly arising to affect the state of commerce, foreign and domestic, and, of consequence, the revenue levied upon it. The sales of the public domain in ordinary times are regulated by fixed laws which have their basis in a demand increasing only in the ratio of the increase of population. In recurring to the statistics connected with this subject it will be perceived that for a period of ten years preceding 1834 the average amount of land sales did not exceed $2,000,000. For the increase which took place in 1834, 1835, and 1836 we are to look to that peculiar condition of the country which grew out of one of the most extraordinary excitements in business and speculation that has ever occurred in the history of commerce and currency. It was the fruit of a wild spirit of adventure engendered by a vicious system of credits, under the evils of which the country is still laboring, and which it is fondly hoped will not soon recur. Considering the vast amount of investments made by private individuals in the public lands during those three years, and which equaled $43,000,000 (equal to more than twenty years' purchase), taking the average of sales of the ten preceding years, it may be safely asserted that the result of the public-land sales can hold out nothing to alarm the manufacturer with the idea of instability in the revenues and consequently in the course of the Government.
Under what appears to me, therefore, the soundest considerations of public policy, and in view of the interests of every branch of domestic industry, I return you the bill with these my objections to its becoming a law.
I take occasion emphatically to repeat my anxious desire to cooperate with Congress in the passing of a law which, while it shall assist in supplying the wants of the Treasury and reestablish public credit, shall afford to the manufacturing interests of the country all the incidental protection they require.
After all, the effect of what I do is substantially to call on Congress to reconsider the subject. If on such reconsideration a majority of two-thirds of both Houses should be in favor of this measure, it will become a law notwithstanding my objections. In a case of clear and manifest error on the part of the President the presumption of the Constitution is that such majorities will be found. Should they be so found in this case, having conscientiously discharged my own duty I shall cheerfully acquiesce in the result.

Sztuka ludowa – całokształt działalności artystycznej społeczności lokalnej, na ogół wiejskiej. Obok twórczości, którą nazywa się plastyką do sztuki ludowej zalicza się też muzykę, tańce, legendy, bajki, poezję ludową oraz całą artystyczną stronę zwyczajów i obrzędów ludowych. Wszystkie te zjawiska były nierozerwalnie związane ze sobą oraz z życiem wsi i tworzyły kulturę ludową.

Wytwory sztuki ludowej nie są samodzielnymi dziełami sztuki, lecz zawsze pełnią określoną funkcję w życiu wsi, a ich wartość artystyczna idzie w parze ze znaczeniem użytkowym. Sztuka ludowa zaspokajała istotne potrzeby wsi, a chłopi w ramach gospodarki samowystarczalnej, zdani byli na własną wytwórczość we wszystkich dziedzinach życia. Podstawowymi wyrobami rękodzieła ludowego są tkaniny, hafty i koronki, stroje ludowe, wyroby kaletnicze, kowalskie i odlewnicze, wyploty ze słomy, wikliny i korzeni, galanteria drewniana, meble oraz wyroby garncarskie i ceramiczne.

Od połowy XIX wieku teoretycy sztuki podejmowali problem zanikania rękodzieła w warunkach industrializacji. W Anglii byli to John Ruskin i William Morris, w Niemczech Walter Gropius (idea sztuki życia codziennego).

Sztuka ludowa w Polsce
Wskutek odchodzenia polskiej wsi od własnych upodobań i przejmowania wzorców miejskich polska sztuka ludowa zanika. Podejmowane są jednak działania dla jej ocalenia, gdyż jako wytwór wielu pokoleń stanowi ona wartość szczególną, polską. W przeszłości w obronie polskiej sztuki ludowej stawał Cyprian Norwid, głoszący konieczność podniesienia sztuki ludowej do rangi sztuki narodowej. Stanisław Witkiewicz chciał stworzyć sztukę narodową opartą na stylu zakopiańskim, Stanisław Wyspiański sięgał do wątków piastowskich.

W okresie Polski Ludowej nastąpił rozkwit i moda na sztukę ludową, a dla władzy ludowej stała się ona sztuką priorytetową i została otoczona szczególną opieką. Na sztuce ludowej opierało się wzornictwo powstałego w 1950 r. Instytutu Wzornictwa Przemysłowego.

Na pograniczu sztuki ludowej tworzyli malarze prymitywiści. Wśród nich najbardziej znani to Nikifor Krynicki, Teofil Ociepka i Dorota Lampart.

Dawniej sztuka ludowa zaspokajała niemal wszystkie potrzeby ludności wiejskiej – od kultu i religii zaczynając, na codziennych sprzętach i stroju kończąc. Obecnie rozwija się najbardziej rzeźba w drewnie, malarstwo na szkle oraz tkanina dekoracyjna.

I can buy a '87 KX500, but have some doubts because it's a one year model.
Is it really impossible to interchange most of the parts with the 88+ years?
I would do a complete rebuild, so that would be good to know in advance.
The bike currently is torn apart, so I can visually inspect all parts..


Q1- What is "Tea House"?
"Tea House" is a weekly hour where we hangout and talk about the art of Persian calligraphy; you will meet your "virtual-but-real" classmates /fellow artists that you otherwise never meet and get to know them and share ideas with them. We will all learn from each other, inspire each other and get inspired by each other.
Q2- Do I have to attend?
No, you don't have to. "Tea House" is not mandatory. If you are invited you are encouraged to attend if you can... and it's OK if you couldn't this week, then just join us next Sunday.
Q3- I didn't receive an invitation but I'd like to join; who do I need to talk to?
We welcome people who step forward! If you are interested in joining a "Tea House" session please contact Payman Hamed at phamed@persiancalligraphy.org or call Payman directly at +1 818 745 7407 to coordinate.
Q1- I Don't Speak Persian (Farsi); Can I Still Learn Persian Calligraphy?
Absolutely!" You would not need to know the language to learn the art of calligraphy as all the lessons come with translation and transliterations. Nevertheless, as a by-product of the process you will pick up some Farsi as you practice your Persian calligraphy.
Q2- How About Calligraphy Tools/Supplies; Where Can I Get Those From?
You will receive a complementary preliminary calligraphy tools packet as you sign up for semester SA. This Package will include four pens and silk and instructions on how to set up your inkwell. You will also receive recommendations for ink and paper.
You may order additional pens, silk, etc. from the online store on PersianCalligraphy.org once you need more calligraphy tools and supplies.

$1 million worth of marijuana confiscated
EL MONTE The investigation moved quickly over night. About $1 million worth of marijuana has been confiscated and three people are in jail.
Click in the Eyewitness News story window above to watch Amy Powell's report from El Monte.
But the investigation isn't over. Police say these suspects were operating out of several locations.
The upstairs bedrooms of the El Monte home looked more like a greenhouse. They were filled with nearly 1,000 marijuana plants in various stages of growth.
Detectives had been keeping the house in the gated community of Maxson Villas in the 2800 block of North Maxson Road under surveillance after being tipped about the operation a month ago.
Around 10 p.m. Thursday, authorities stopped two men who were renting the house.
"And last night they stopped a vehicle that was leaving with some marijuana in it. They came back to the house and located over a million dollars worth of plants," said Sgt. David Vautrin, El Monte Police Department.
Twenty-two-year-old Henry Kwong, a Pasadena City College student, and 25-year-old Yue Huan Mai were arrested.
The two men were allegedly stealing electricity to provide lights for their plants and power the operation's air system. Police say the marijuana-growing setup was extensive.
"It's a very sophisticated cultivation system with lighting, a ventilation system, and a self-contained watering system within the residence," said Sgt. Vautrin.
Neighbors say they didn't notice anything suspicious.
"No, I never, I never heard anything," said neighbor Sam Dodwin. "The owner of the house rented it several times to other people."
During the night investigators went to another residence in the City of Walnut, where they found more equipment for cultivating marijuana. They believe the suspects were just starting to set up an operation there.
At a third home in San Gabriel, authorities found about a kilo of packaged pot and several thousand dollars in cash. A third suspect, 32-year-old Denise Quan, was taken into custody at the San Gabriel home.
Police also took a $50,000 BMW from the home in El Monte.
All three suspects are from the San Gabriel area. They're facing felony charges and are due in court on Monday.

Which character dresses the best?
Characters > Bert Kibbler
Bert Kibbler
Bertram "Bert" Kibbler is a geologist at Caltech and a musician in Footprints on the Moon.
He is a winner of the MacArthur Fellowship, sometimes referred to as the Genius Grant, for his study on the way microbes in rocks can survive in extreme environmental conditions. The prize came with an unconditional grant of $500,000.
Bert was first seen in the episode "The Contractual Obligation Implementation" when he tried to join Raj at a table in the library where Raj was to have a "text date" with his then-girlfriend Lucy. Raj told him to "go climb back up whatever beanstalk you came down from."
In "The Occupation Recalibration", we learned Bert was a geologist the same university as Amy and the guys. Bert had been bringing Amy beautiful rocks every day, but she hadn't realized he had a crush on her. When Howard and Raj point out that Bert's infatuated with her, Amy tasked them with letting him down gently. After Bert invited Amy to join him at a rock show, Howard and Raj instead accompanied Bert.
When Bert invited Amy to a house party in "The Dependence Transcendence", she and her guest Penny were the only people to show up. It wasn't a wasted experience for them as they found out that Bert and others at the university consider Amy to be the cool girl on campus. When Penny made a geology joke, Bert admitted he is now in love with her and Amy.
Bert was one of the guests invited to Sheldon and Amy's first dinner party in "The Fetal Kick Catalyst", but the party was marred by Sheldon's admission that their guests were the "practice round". Still, Bert said they served the best blintz he'd ever had, which almost made up for that incredibly awkward turn.
When Bert won the MacArthur Fellowship for his work in "The Geology Elevation", Sheldon was jealous at being upstaged by a geologist. After a string of self-inflicted injuries as he wallowed in envy, Sheldon finally talked to Bert about his feelings. Bert tried to help Sheldon work through his emotions, but Sheldon was further incensed when Bert said he's no longer jealous of Sheldon and Amy as, with his grant money, he thinks he can now do better. Later, Sheldon and Bert attended a taping of the Ellen chat show together.
Sheldon and Amy ran into Bert on their date night in "The Allowance Evaporation". Bert admitted he'd been stood up again, but Amy's soon more bothered about the inappropriate details Sheldon had been sharing about their relationship.
When the gang met Bert's attractive new girlfriend in "The Separation Agitation", they feared she was only with him for his money. The gang helped him see her true colors, but Bert was lonely enough that he thought buying her love was better than being alone.
In "The Gyroscopic Collapse", Raj revealed that he was moving out of Leonard and Penny's apartment to move in with Bert, who was renting a room out above his garage.
In "The Geology Methodology", Bert asked Sheldon to work with him to look for signs of neutrino interactions in four-billion-year-old meteorites. Despite Sheldon's clear interest in the research which could find signs of dark matter, he was so embarrassed about working with a geologist that he tried to keep his work with Bert secret. Fed up with Sheldon's snide comments about him and geology, Bert chose to dump Sheldon and work with Leonard instead. When Sheldon apologized to Bert, he accepted but decided to keep working with Leonard anyway.
When Howard needed time away from Footprints on the Moon in "The Solo Oscillation", Raj reached out to Bert, who plays guitar, to join the band as a replacement. Bert already had a geology-inspired song of his own, told from the prospective of the boulder that chases Indiana Jones, which fit the band's sound. After Howard returned to the band, the trio played at a Bar-Mitzvah where Bert performed his original song.

18 BMJ 2005;331:1057 (5 November), Self management of oral anticoagulation: randomised trial D A Fitzmaurice, professor of primary care1, 1 Department of Primary Care, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, 2 Health Services Management Centre, Birmingham B15 2RT Objective To determine the clinical effectiveness of self management compared with routine care in patients on long term oral anticoagulants. Participants 617 patients aged over 18 and receiving warfarin randomised to intervention (n = 337) and routine care (n = from 2470 invited; 193/337 (57%) completed the 12 month intervention. Intervention Intervention patients used a point of care device to measure international normalised ratio twice a week and a simple dosing chart to interpret their dose of warfarin. Main outcome measure Percentage of time spent within the therapeutic range of international normalised ratio. Results No significant differences were found in percentage of time in the therapeutic range between self managment and routine care (70% v 68%). Self managed patients with poor control before the study showed an improvement in control that was not seen in the routine care group. Nine patients (2.8/100 patient years) had serious adverse events in the self managed group, compared with seven (2.7/100 patient years) in the routine care arm. Conclusion: With appropriate training, self management is safe and reliable for a sizeable proportion of patients receiving oral anticoagulation treatment. It may improve the time spent the therapeutic range for patients with initially poor control.

19 Br J Haematol Mar;132(5): A randomised control trial of patient self-management of oral anticoagulation compared with patient self-testing. Gardiner C, Williams K, Longair I, Mackie IJ, Machin SJ, Cohen H. Department of Haematology, University College London Hospitals, London, UK. Several studies suggest that patient self-management (PSM) may improve the quality of oral anticoagulation therapy as measured by time spent within the international normalised ratio (INR) target range. We performed a prospective randomised control trial to determine whether the improvement in quality of treatment afforded by PSM is greater than that achieved by patient self-testing (PST) alone. A total of 104 of 800 eligible patients aged years (median = 59.8), attending our hospital anticoagulant clinic and receiving long-term warfarin for >8 months agreed to participate. Patients were randomised to PSM (n = 55) or PST (n = 49). Both groups measured their INR using the CoaguChek S every 2 weeks or more frequently if required, for a period of 6 months. Seventy-seven of 104 (74%) patients completed the study (PSM = 41 and PST = 36). The 'drop out' rates for both groups were similar. There was no significant difference between the percentage time in target therapeutic range for PSM (69.9%) and PST (71.8%). Both groups combined showed a significant improvement over the previous 6 months The quality of warfarin control in both PST and PSM may be superior to that achieved by conventional management in a specialised hospital anticoagulation clinic. Both groups combined PSM and PST showed a significant improvement over the previous 6 months. The quality of warfarin control in both PST and PSM may be superior to that achieved by conventional management in a specialised hospital anticoagulation clinic.
A Randomized Trial Bárbara Menéndez-Jándula, MD; 4 January 2005 | Volume 142 Issue 1 | Pages 1-10 Background: Control of oral anticoagulant treatment has been reported to be suboptimal, but previous studies suggest that patient self-management improves control. Objective: To compare the quality of control and the clinical outcomes of oral anticoagulant treatment in self-managed patients versus patients following conventional management. Design: Randomized, controlled trial. Setting: University-affiliated hospital in Spain. Patients: 737 patients with indications for anticoagulant treatment. Intervention: The self-management group (n = 368) received simple instructions for using a portable coagulometer weekly and self-adjusting treatment dose. The conventional management group (n = 369) received usual care in an anticoagulation clinic (monthly measurement and control of international normalized ratio [INR], managed by hematologists). Measurements: Percentage of INR values within the target range and major related complications. Results: The median follow-up period was 11.8 months (range, 0.3 to 16.9 months). The unadjusted percentages of in-range INRs were 58.6% in the self-management group and 55.6% in the conventional management group (difference, 3.0 percentage points [95% CI, 0.4 to 5.4 percentage points]). Twenty-seven patients (7.3%) in the conventional management group and 8 (2.2%) in the self-management group had major complications related to anticoagulant treatment. The unadjusted risk difference for major complications between groups was 5.1 percentage points (exact 95% CI, 1.7 to 8.5 percentage points). Fewer patients had minor hemorrhages in the self-management group (14.9%) than in the conventional management group (36.4%). Fifteen patients (4.1%) in the conventional management group and 6 (1.6%) in the self-management group died (unadjusted risk difference, 2.5 percentage points [exact 95% CI, 0.0 to 5.1 percentage points]). Limitations: The trial was performed at only 1 center and was not blinded. The dropout rate in the intervention group was 21%. Conclusions: Compared with conventional management by an anticoagulation clinic, self-management of oral anticoagulant treatment achieved a similar level of control. Of note, major complications and minor hemorrhages were less common in the self-management group. Conclusions: Compared with conventional management by an anticoagulation clinic, self-management of oral anticoagulant treatment achieved a similar level of control. Of note, major complications and minor hemorrhages were less common in the self-management group.

A PEACEFUL BRIDGE BETWEEN THE CULTURES TROUGH OLYMPICS OLYMPIC CREED: the most significant thing in the olympic games is not to win but to take part OLYMPIC.


Everton are set to reward goalkeeper Jordan Pickford for his impressive first season with the club by offering him an improved new contract.
According to the Times, the Toffees are keen to secure the services of their No. 1 for the forseeable future amid rumors of interest from Chelsea, who could look to bring Pickford to Stamford Bridge as a replacement for Thibaut Courtois, should the Belgian leave the club this summer.
Signed for £30m from Sunderland last summer to become the most expensive British goalkeeper of all time, Pickford enjoyed a strong 2017/18 season as Everton finished eighth in the Premier League, before delivering a series of excellent displays for England at the World Cup as the Three Lions reached the semi-finals.
Pickford has four years left to run on the contract he signed last summer but Everton are still planning to offer the 24-year-old a better wage packet in order to better reflect his standing at the club.
New Everton manager Marco Silva has not yet worked with Pickford, with the goalkeeper still on holiday following England's World Cup exit, but will doubtless see him as essential to his plans for the new season as Everton look to qualify for Europe this season.
The club have spent £35m to sign winger Richarlison from Silva's former club Watford in a deal which could potentially rise to £50m, with the Brazilian scoring on his debut in a friendly defeat against Rennes.
Silva still hopes to improve his side's defense with a new left back and center half, but tying Pickford down to a new deal would be perhaps the best signing Everton could make this summer.


This is the first in a three-part series. In Part 1 of this series, we talk about the importance of a great ending. In Part 2, we cover the major kinds of story endings. In Part 3, we look at some of the common problems that ruin endings.
Writing a story, particularly a short story, is like making a great vault in gymnastics. Not sure what I mean? Watch this video of a fantastic example from the 2012 Olympics.
That's McKayla Maroney giving a masterclass on vaulting. So, how is this like a good short story? A great story accelerates quickly from the beginning, springs into the conflict, reaches incredible heights during the climax, and nails the conclusion with confidence and class.
It starts off slow, has an underpowered and unconvincing conflict to escalate action, barely skids through the climax, and flops into a conclusion looking disheveled and disoriented.
The start is quick, launching smoothly into the conflict, reaches a good climax, and then completely flubs the conclusion. In gymnastics and writing alike, you have to nail the landing, or it will make everything that came before seem like a waste.
If there's something we hate even more than a terrible story, it's wasting great potential. The stories that make us excited, expectant, and even giddy, only to nosedive into confusing, or anemic, or unfulfilling (or all three) endings are what make us punch holes in our office wall. We don't like being giddy for nothing.
And as much as we (writers, editors, instructors) talk about great beginnings, strong style, interesting voice, compelling characters, and solid plot, we don't often talk about how to make a satisfying conclusion.
This is the first in a three-part series about story conclusions. There's no magic trick or surefire tool, but there are a few things to look for, and a few more things to avoid.
Continue on to Part 2 to explore the major kinds of endings. Then read Part 3, which covers the common mistakes writers make when writing a conclusion.

What the signs of the Zodiac really mean, #3 of 4, New Life
The first 4 signs of the zodiac originally and to this day, tell of the virgin birth of Messiah, the sin of man, and the ultimate triumph the dual-natured Savior would have. The next 4 tell the story of new life. Let's begin:
Capricorn, the goat
Capricorn is the picture of a goat slain, yet its hind legs are a fish tail. Its right front leg is folded back while its left leg is extended awkwardly, its head down in death. The goat of course represents sinful man while the fish represents life and alludes to the fish symbol to come, which speaks of those born of the Spirit. Though once dead, He lives!
The two brightest stars in Capricorn are Gedi and Dabih, meaning 'the cut-off', the 'sacrifice slain'. Other stars in the constellation are similar, meaning 'the slaying', and similar. The very name, Capricorn, is from the Latin meaning 'the atonement falling in death'.
We need to remind ourselves of history, that early Christians identified with the fish, in part because the risen Lord is recorded to have eaten fish on at least 2 occasions (Lk 24:42, John 21:13). The words Ichthys/pisces is a Greek acronym meaning 'Jesus Christ Son of God, Savior', the fish symbol an early secret 'password' between Christians.
The first decan of Capricorn is Sagitta the lone arrow. It is all by itself in the heavens, fired by an unknown hand. This is in agreement with Isaiah 53:10 that says it was the Father who made Him to be a sacrifice for sin, and He put Him to grief and sorrow to carry our sin. The Father fired the arrow, unseen, an action between Father and Son.
The second decan is Aquila the eagle. It is a picture of a dying eagle, showing Christ was not only the sacrificial goat, but the eagle flying represents heaven and royalty, showing it is a king 'goat' (Capricorn) that is dying. You may recall how in Exodus 19:4 the Lord told Israel: "I carried you out (of Egypt) on eagles' wings and brought you to myself." The main star is Altair or Al Tair (Arabic) which means 'the wounded'. The other 2 main stars mean 'the scarlet colored covered with blood' and 'the torn', and a 4th star name means 'wounded in the heel'.
The third decan is Delphinus the dolphin. It is a picture of a fish leaping out of the water, full of life. Because it is of Capricorn, it shows the fish tail of the sacrificial goat part of him will not stay dead - Delphinus shows resurrection and new life!
The summary of Capricorn: In Capricorn we have turned the corner from the first group of four, which are about His sacrifice and our sin. Now we see that in His death there comes life. Slain by the lone arrow from His Father, He was always dual-natured, always knowing He would rise as seen by the fish tail of the sacrificial goat. As Delphinus points us to the resurrection, let us look next at:
Aquarius, the Water Carrier
Aquarius is the picture of a man seated in heaven, and in his right arm is a large vessel pouring out water, which flows to Pisces the Southern Fish. You may remember your mythology where he is called Ganymede, the bright and happy One. The main star in Aquarius is Sa'ad al Melik, meaning 'Record of the outpouring'.
The first decan is Pisces Australius, the southern fish, to whom the pouring water comes. The symbolism of the risen Lord, now seated, (or the Father) pouring the water of the Spirit to the fish - believers.
Pegasus, the winged horse is the second decan of Aquarius. He is flying at full speed, and to the Greeks he was known as 'the Horse of the gushing fountain'. The word 'Pega means 'the chief' and the last part is 'fast horse', showing the Lord as the fast flying horse of the fountain of the Spirit. Is it any wonder The Revelation 19 reveals Jesus (and believers) will return flying through the air at Armageddon on white horse(s), to rescue Israel and prevent man from destroying himself.
The star names are Markab, 'the returning one', Scheat, 'he who goes and comes back', Enif, 'the branch', Al Genib, 'who carries', and Matar, 'one who causes a plentiful overflow'.
The third decan with Aquarius is Cygnus the swan. It is pretty easy to find in the night sky for it has 81 stars, including several double stars and the binary star Cygni. It is the picture of a swan in flight, though some see it as a swan dead or as having once been dead. The brightest star in Cygnus is Deneb, which means 'the Lord or Judge to come'. Other stars are Fafage, 'a glorious one', Sadr, 'who returns as a return trip', and Arided, 'He will come down'.
The summary of Aquarius: Aquarius moves the salvation story beyond death and resurrection to new life, coupled with the promise of His return. Clearly until then we have the water poured from above, the Holy Spirit, as an earnest (down payment) of our salvation. Ephesians 1:13-14
Pisces, the two fish
Pisces is a picture of two fish, one aligned with and following the path of the sun, the other veering off towards the North Pole. Both fish are tied together with the first decan, the Band or ribbon, which is tied around each fish's tail.
We could go in a couple directions understanding the two fish. We could look at Ephesians 2 and see the Jew and Gentile and how the Lord in His sacrifice has made one man of the two, which is my preferred understanding. We could also look at them as our dual nature, in our hearts wanting to follow the path of the sun (Son), but part of us wants to veer off out of bounds, as seen by the fish headed towards the north. I leave it to you.
The Band is the first decan, which is tied around the tails of the two fish, but also anchored to Cetus the sea monster (we will cover him later, but suffice for now to say he represents Satan and sinful man/nature of man). The Arabic name for ribbon is what we would call today a 'bridle', as in how one controls a horse. Star name Al Risha means 'a bridle, band, rope', used to control an animal.
I find it interesting the Ribbon is one continuous ribbon, and the the second decan is Cepheus the crowned King, who is holding the ribbon which is tied to the fish, in his right hand. He is a king seated on his throne, a scepter in his left hand. He is the one who watches over the two fish, and because He holds the Band in his hand, shows us He is in control. His foot by the way, sits on the Pole Star we call Polaris, or the North Star.
The North Star has been used by navigators for centuries because it is the one star that never moves. All the other stars revolve around it (look for a time lapse video of it if you'd like), so the fact that Cepheus the King has His foot on the pole star shows us that HE is the one we look to for direction and how to navigate our way through life.
On Cepheus' right shoulder is the brightest star in the constellation, Al Deramin, 'the quickly returning one'. In his belt is Al Phirk which means 'the redeemer'. In his left knee is the star 'the Shepherd'. The name 'Cepheus' means 'the royal branch', or simply, 'the king'. Again we see a reference to Virgo's son, the Branch.
The third decan of Pisces is Andromeda, the chained woman. She is seated but has her hands and feet each chained individually. The Pisces fish that is veering to the north is under the arm of Andromeda, showing the plight of man, chained by the world and sin yet also part of the living 'fish' in the Lord. If we understand that fish that veered from the path of the sun, we can consider it unbelieving Israel, chained and persecuted as it is held by Andromeda.
The star names in Andromeda mean, 'the persecuted', 'the broken-down', 'the afflicted', 'the weak'. In Greek mythology however she is known as the man-ruler, which again can mean Israel the first among nations because of their covenant with God. To the Egyptians Andromeda was not liked because fish symbolized dislike and hatred.
The summary of Pisces shows the plight of believers, and/or Jew and Gentile. Yet the King has made out of two, one. He is firmly in control. In Cepheus we see the promise of His return, for the next constellation reveals we will not always be chained by the world and sin.
Aries the Ram
Here we see a mature ram lying directly on and in perfect alignment with the path of the sun. The root of the name Aries means 'the Lordly one'. In Arabic he is called 'Al Hamal' which means 'the sheep', 'the gentle', 'the merciful'. The main stars are El Nath (El Natik) which mean 'the slain' or 'the wounded'. Above his head is a triangle, its main star there means 'the Head' or 'the uplifted one'.
The first decan of Aries is Cassiopeia, the enthroned woman. She is easy to spot because her stars make a large W in the night sky. The picture is of a woman seated on a throne, in opposition to Andromeda trapped on the earth and its failings, now in heaven enthroned. Her name means 'beautiful enthroned' or 'enthroned woman'.
It is interesting she has 4 stars which never set all night long throughout the whole yearly cycle. She oversees the darkness. Star names are Shedar, which means 'the freed'. Ruchbah and Dat Al Cursa which mean 'the enthroned' and 'the seated'. What is interesting is that Cepheus the enthroned King that we just looked at, holds the scepter in his left hand out to Cassiopeia. It reminds me of Esther receiving the favor of the extended scepter of the king.
One final note is that in mythology Cassiopeia is known as the mother of Andromeda. This agrees with Paul's statement in Galatians 4:26 that where he compares earthly Jerusalem with the heavenly Jerusalem: 'Jerusalem above is free, and the mother of us all.'
Cetus is the second decan of Aries. He is the sea monster, and the ribbon of Pisces is tied to the back of his neck. The main star in its neck is Mira, which means 'the rebel'. Another star is Menkar which means 'the chained enemy'. The star Diphda is the third main star, and means 'the overthrown'. I find it interesting he is tied to Pisces, which in my thinking means he is bound through the work of Jesus, and our authority to use that name to command him and his demons out and away from us. The Band or Ribbon is tied to his neck, where the reins of a horse rest, showing again how the Pisces has authority over Cetus the sea monster. But it also shows our nature bound to sin before we came to know Christ.
The third decan of Aries is Perseus the Breaker. Perseus is a warrior with a raised sword in his right hand, and under his left arm is the severed head of Medusa, the name Medusa means 'the one trodden under foot'. The star in the left foot of Perseus is Atik, 'he who breaks'. The middle star is Al Genib, 'the one who carries away', and Mirfak, 'who helps'.
Medusa, whose severed head Perseus holds, has as its main star Al Ghoul or Algol, meaning 'evil spirit'. The other star names are 'Rosh Satan' and Al Oneh, which means 'Satan's head' and 'the weakened and subdued'.
The summary of Aries shows the risen Lord, at rest with Cassiopeia the church at His side, looking at the defeated sea monster and holding the head of Satan under his arm - no longer a threat to anyone!
That concludes this second set of 4 constellations. As the first set of 4 show the person and nature of the Lord and the sin of man, the second set show His death and resurrection, return, and our future in heaven. The last set reveals His return and earthly kingdom and is SO exciting! Until then, blessings,

Geolithology
Unlike other mountain ranges of sedimentary origin belonging to the Southern Alps, the igneous rocks that make up the group Adamello are of intrusive origin. The cooling process of the "plutons", which originated at the centre of the Earth and penetrated in the fractures of existing rocks, started about 42 million years ago from the Re di Castello Mountain area and ended, extending towards the north (Mount Presanella), about 29 million years ago.
The main types of igneous rocks in the Adamello Massif are the following:
quarzodiorite (Mount Adamello and Mount Avio)
coarse-grained tonalite (Corno Baitone, Val Miller, Val Salarno and Valle Adamé)
granodiorite (Monte Re di Castello, Cima Laione, Cima Terre Fredde and Alta Valle di Stabio).
These form the core of the Massif (M. Adamello, M. Fumo and Valleys of Avio and Paghéra).
Coarse-grained tonalite makes up the Corno Baitone, the Miller, Salarno and Adamé Valleys, while fine-grained tonalite makes up Re di Castello, M. Listino, Val di Stabio etc.
The main minerals of the Adamello include quartz, feldspar, hornblende, plagioclase. The contact with the incandescent magma, flowing up from deep below, metamorphosized existing rocks of sedimentary origin, derived from ancient coral reefs, and of which today significant remains can still be seen only in the southern part of the Park, especially in Val Fredda and Val di Cadino. Limestone and dolomite have been turned into saccharoidal and calciferous marble (Corna Bianca), while in the northern part of the park the sandstones were metamorphosized into garnets (Corno delle Granate). The crystalline and impermeable characteristics of the rocks of the Adamello Massif, acting in synergy with the presence of the glacier, means that there is an abundance of springs and watercourses, which once gave rise to large streams and picturesque and spectacular waterfalls.
The pure limestone rocks became marble, clay materials became microcrystalline rocks with splinter fractures (traditionally used as stone slabs to cover the roofs of rural buildings in Vallecamonica) or crystalline formations that contain other minerals such as mica and garnet.
The present forms of the mountains are mainly shaped by the action of glaciers over millions of years and the subsequent erosion produced by weathering.
In the first half of the twentieth century many dams were built for the catchment of waterbodies in the Park, especially in the basins of Lake Arno and Lake Baitone, in Val Salarno and Val d'Avio, as part of two large hydroelectric plants, those of S. Fiorano and Edolo.
The vegetation
The altitude difference of over 3,000 meters between the highest and lowest points of the Adamello Park (ranging from 390 to 3539 meters above sea level) generates considerable climatic variations which, together with the lithological diversification, influence the structure, composition and distribution of all the Park ecosystems.
From the bottom of the valley up to 1000 meters above sea level lie the forests of broad-leaved trees, consisting of chestnuts (Castanea sativa), once assiduously cultivated, interspersed by meadows or more often by woods with a prevalence of hop hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), manna ash (Fraxinus ornus), aspen (Populus tremula), silver birch (Betula pendula), sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus), wild cherry (Prunus avium), goat willow (Salix caprea), field elm (Ulmus minor) and common hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), accompanied by common hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), hazel (Corylus avellana), and laburnum (Laburnum anagyroides, L. alpinum). Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), durmast oak (Quercus Petrea) and downy oak (Quercus pubescens) can be found in the most weather-beaten and arid areas. The beech (Fagus sylvatica) is not widespread in the Park, having previously been "sacrificed" for economic reasons in favour of the spruce (Picea excelsa). However the Park boasts magnificent monumental specimens of beech in Val Malga, Sonico.
Common alder (Alnus glutinosa), willows (Salix alba, S. elaeagnos, S. purpurea, etc.) and grey alder (Alnus incana) are present in riparian thickets along the numerous streams.
Above 1000 metres of altitude, the forest cover is mainly composed of vast and dense coniferous woods , with dominant spruce (Picea excelsa) and a rich under storey of bilberries and saxifrages (Vaccinium myrtillus, V. vitis idaea, Saxifraga cuneifolia). Woods consisting mainly of silver fir (Abies alba) are less common and located mainly in Val Malga, Sonico.
Higher up the spruce forests give way to larches (Larix decidua), of which you can admire some impressive monumental specimens near Malga Casentia, in Val Saviore. The Swiss pine (Pinus cembra) is much rarer but splendid examples can be admired in the Val d'Avio, around Lake Arno, Lake Aviolo and Monte Piccolo. The upper limit of the forest is around 1900-2000 metres, but isolated trees can be found up to 2350 meters
Above the tree line there is the zone of twisted, dwarf shrubs, almost prostrate on the ground, with a prevalence of green alder (Alnus viridis) and juniper (Juniperus nana); the dwarf mountain pine (Pinus mugo) is present mainly on carbonatic soils, especially on the gravelly slopes of Mount Columbine. The rusty-leaved alpen-rose (Rododendron ferrugineum) and the hairy alpen-rose (R. hirsutum), vicariant species, are widespread on siliceous and carbonatic soils respectively.
The alpine meadows lie above 2200 meters. On sunny slopes on siliceous substrate plant communities of the fescue Festuca scabriculmis are common, often accompanied by the flowering plants Potentilla aurea and Campanula barbata, while on less steep slopes the sedge Carex curvula together with the flowering plants Gentiana kochiana, Astrantia minor and Trifolium alpinum are found. On pasture intensively exploited for livestock the grasses Nardus stricta and Deschampsia caespitosa prevail with occasional Leucorchis albida, Arnica montana and Astrantia minor. Carbonatic substrates are dominated by pasture composed of the grasses Sesleria coerulea, Carex sempervirens and C. firma. Up to the snowline, sedge meadows alternate with fragmented rocks and crags, where live only species specialised in surviving at very low temperatures.
In small hollows in the snow zone some prostrate willows (Salix reticulata, S. retusa and S. herbacea) survive together with bryophytes and lichens, sometimes with Sibbaldia procumbens, Arenaria biflora and Soldanella alpina.
The vegetation of wetlands and bogs is widespread in the Park due to the considerable amount of these transitional ecosystems within the protected area. Together with sphagnum (Sphagnum spp.), there are many species which have adapted to the acidic and low in nitrogen substyrate typical of bog ecosystems: Eriophorum scheuchzeri, E. angustifolium, E. vaginatum, Carex fusca, Trichophorum caespitosum, Andromeda polifolia, Vaccinium microcarpum, Drosera rotundifolia and Carex pauciflora.
In the Adamello Park all the alpine fauna is present including the brown bear (Ursus arctos), which has been recently found in the Park.
There is currently no confirmed information on the location of its hibernation sites. However, the presence of this splendid animal has been recorded in several areas at different times of the year, and an ongoing project is seeking to study and better understand the dynamics of repopulation of both the brown bear and grey wolf (Canis lupus) through a monitoring programme.
The lower part of the valley and in the broad leaved and coniferous forests are home to some representatives of the Mustelid family: the badger (Meles meles), elusive carnivore of nocturnal habits that prefers more open wooded and bushy areas near cultivated land, the beech marten (Martes foina) is widespread and can be found on both cultivated and uncultivated land. The marten (Martes martes), an arboreal species, perfers mature forest and the weasel (Mustela nivalis) is present in the forests of the mountain horizon in Paghera Valley of Ceto, basins of Lake Arno and plain of Gaver.
The hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus), an insectivorous species, is widespread from the basal plain up to approximately 1500 meters of altitude, in clearings, forests of broad leaves and near cultivable land.
Among the arboreal Rodents it is easy to spot the squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), that prefers the forests of broad leaves and conifers from 500 to 2000 meters of altitude, while the edible dormouse (Glis glis), although associated with the mature forests of deciduous leaves, can be spotted near barns.
The fox (Vulpes vulpes) an ubiquitous species, prefers wild habitats from 500 to 2000 meters of altitude, rich of vegetation, bushy gorges and rocks which allow them to establish breeding dens. The forests with scattered clearings within the sub mountainous and mountainous horizons are inhabited, respectively, by the shrew (Dorex araneus) and the alpine shrew (Sorex alpinus).
From 500 to 1800 meters, in wide glades near the edge of the mixed forests of broad-leaves and conifers and in unclosed firwoods, lives the deer (Cervus elaphus) a dominant Ungulate belonging to the Cervidae family .
The same habitat, although with a rich shrub layer, is occupied by the roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), a graceful animal of elusive habits.
Among the Lagomorphs, the common hare (Lepus europaeus) is distributed uniformly between the lower valley and 1500 meters of altitude, near uncultivated land and forests of broad-leaves full of glades.
High up on the culminating plateau, in alpine prairies and in heaps of stones live the mountain hare (Lepus timidus), the ermine (Mustela erminea) and the marmot (Marmota marmota) which is a large Rodent, found in the Park between 1800 and 2800 meters of altitude. The social organisation of this species imitates that of a colonial species where members of the colony acts as lookouts and warn the others of the presence of potential predators by emitting a shrilly hiss. T
he snow vole (Microtus nivalis) is a small Rodent that lives in dug lairs in the subalpine and alpine horizon.
Beyond the limit of the arboreal vegetation it is possible to observe the chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) and the ibex (Capra ibex), elegant Ungulates belonging to the Bovidae family, which prefer the rocks in the most difficult and steep terrain of the Park. The chamois, an animal of gregarious habits, differs from the ibex by the reduced dimension and the presence of small horns folded like a hook in both sexes.
There are numerous species of birds which live in the various habitats of the Park. The Picidae are typical of the forests of the sub mountainous horizons:, the green woodpecker (Picus viridis), the great spotted woodpecker (Picoides major) are easily located thanks to its characteristic call, a short and acute kik emitted very fast. The rare black woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) is closely linked to the availability of old rotten trees. During spring and summer it feeds mainly on larvae of insects parasitic of trees, that it finds by drilling holes in the tree trunks. In autumn and winter it feeds on insects under the bark of trees and on seeds of pinecones. To extract the pine seeds, the pecker embeds the pinecones in a fissure on the tree trunk, usually always the same one, this is evident by the empty pinecones accumulated near the base of the tree.
The tengmalm's owl (Aegolius funereus) is a Strigiformes that lives in the forests of tall larches and nests in the cavities produced by the woodpeckers. Other night rapacious animals that live in the Park are the pygmy owl (Glaucidium passerinum), the tawny owl (Strix aluco) and the long-eared owl (Asio otus), which prefers the forests clearings. Among the diurnal rapacious species there are the honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus), the sparrow hawk (Accipiter nisus), the common buzzard (Buteo buteo), the kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) and the goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) present in the forests of conifers at altitudes comprised between 1000 and 1800 meters.
In the park live also the Tetraonidae, birds of particular interest due to their rarity and remarkable ecological requirements. In the mixed forests with a rich underbrush it is possible to sight the hazel grouse (Bonasia bonasia), while the black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) prefers the alpine larch forests between 1600 and 2200 m of altitude. The black grouse is a polygamous species and the courtship happens after several chases and combats between males in order to adjudicate, by means of parades, dances and songs at the break of dawn the best display sites within the lek. The lek is usually a plain area deprived of vegetation that is re-used every year. At the end of the exhibitions, the mating of the females with the dominant males happens.
The capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) a very rare species that lives only in intact natural habitats, is now, relegated, with paltry presence, to a few woody areas of Paghera Valley of Vezza d'Oglio and Olda di Sonico. Its habitat consists mainly of mixed forests of broad leaves and conifers, with abundant herbaceous and shrubby underbrush, rank renewal and presence of ancient trees used by this bird to take flight and as perches. The capercaillie is particularly sensitive to anthropic disturbance.
The ptarmigan (Lagopus mutus) is the tetraonidae that lives at the highest altitudes. Like the mountain hare and the ermine, in winter the ptarmigan assumes a completely white livery that enables a perfect camouflage with the frequented environment, to the limit of perennial snow at an altitude between 2300 and 2800 m. On the culminating plain the rock partridge (Alectoris graeca) was formerly present. It is a cock-of-the-rock species whose ideal habitat is the dry and exposed south facing mountainside between 1700 and 2300 meters of altitude.
The alpine prairie is inhabited by the wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe), the alpine accentor (Prunella collaris) and the snow finch (Montifringilla nivalis) .
On the rocky crags of the extreme horizons, the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaëtos) and the alpine chough (Pyrrhocorax graculus) nest. The eagle is a territorial and monogamous species, during summer it eats mainly marmots, young Ungulates, hedgehogs, foxes, corvidae and passeriformes. In winter and spring it consumes the carcass of wild herbivores and domestic cattle swept away by avalanches.
Fish, Amphibians and Reptiles
In the flowing waters the most frequent fish species is the brook trout (Salmo trutta fario), present thanks to both periodic re-populating and its high reproductive capacity. The original native sub-species is widespread in the central and top parts of Val Camonica and in the high Caffaro Valley, up to over 2000 m of altitude. Other Salmonids even though not native, are the marble trout (Salmo trutta marmoratus) and the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). The fish fauna of the Park also includes the bullhead (Cottus gobio), with a similar range to the brook trout but at lower altitudes. The minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) is only recorded with certainty in the lower stretches of the main streams of the Adamello Park.
Amphibians are associated to water and generally prefer humid habitats, at least for the first stages of their life cycle. Salamanders and newts belong to the Chordata group. The spotted salamander (Salamandra salamandra) lives in the humid valleys of the mixed forest. It has been recorded within the Park in the Re Valley at Niardo, the Paghera Valley at Ceto, and the Saviore, Malga and Avio valleys. The alpine salamander (Salamandra atra) is more typical of high-mountain and alpine areas and is isomorphic from the spotted salamander. It lives in damp and shady places in forests of conifers and is present up to the area of twisted bushes (2000m). It can also be found on prairies, alpine screes and sites with a high level of environmental humidity. Within the Park it is only found in the Braone Valley and in the top part of Malga Valley (around Lake Baitone and near Refuge Tonolini). The newt (Triturus carnifex) is a common species with a wide sub-mountainous and mountainous distribution and can reach also the sub-alpine zone in the interior valleys. It prefers stagnant or slow flowing waters. In the Park, despite its wide adaptability, it has been recorded only at Lagoja, above Berzo Demo. In the Alps, the alpine newt (Triturus alpestris), typical of high-mountainous sites, frequents lakes, ponds and the loops of the torrents where the flow is less strong. For the territory of the Park it has been reported exclusively in the top part of Avio Valley, near Malga Lavedole.
The rarity of the newts in Vallecamonica is thought by experts to be a consequence of the indiscriminate re-populating of trouts, authentic predators of Chordates. Regarding the Anuran Amphibians in the Park, there are green frogs, red frogs and toads. The singular green frog (Rana esculenta) is found only around Breno, but its presence is possible also along the lower valley of the river Oglio. The common frog (Rana temporaria) is part of the red frogs group. It is a mountainous and sub-alpine species , temporarily aquatic: in fact, the adults can be found dispersed over vast areas, far from their birthplace. In the Park, the common frog has been reported in several localities, even above 2000 meters of altitude, whereas the common toad (Bufo bufo), notoriously erratic in various sub-mountainous and mountainous environments, is found only in Saviore Valley and Malga Valley.
The common grass snake (Natrix natrix) and the dice snake (Natrix tessellata) are bound to stagnant waters between 300 and 1800 meters of altitude. The snakes have been reported in Breno, Niardo, Cedegolo, Malonno, Vezza d'Oglio and Temù. In dry and bushy environments, at the limit of the forests, in the clearings and uncultivated land it is possible to find the western whip snake (Coluber viridiflavus), recorded within the Park between 650 and 1300 m of altitude around Breno, Ceto, Capo di Ponte, Berzo Demo, Saviore Valley, Malonno and Sonico. In the same horizon but with a more arboreal charachter, is the aesculapian snake (Elaphe longissima) that frequents forests, clearings and ruderal environments. A more xerophilous Colubrid is the smooth snake (Coronella austriaca), reported in Breno, Saviore Valley and Avio Valley. Among the Ophidia, the only poisonous species are the aspic viper (Vipera aspis), widespread between 500 and 1200 m, and the adder (Vipera berus) which can be found between the upper mountainous and the high alpine horizons. Among the Sauri reptiles there are slow worms (Anguis fragilis), that live in the forest litter and in terrains rich of humus, the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis), the green lizard (Lacerta bilineata), that lives on slopes and in clearings of the sunny forests. However, from a naturalistic point of view , the more interesting Saurian is the viviparous lizard (Lacerta vivipara), present in many localities, but prefers exposed, damp places, occasionally near streams, from 1230 to 2550 m.

Till Mossan! är Kal P. Dals debutalbum. Som bäst nådde den sjunde plats på svenska albumlistan, och höll sig kvar på listan 14 veckor totalt.

Albumet är en av titlarna i boken Tusen svenska klassiker (2009).

Produktion

Bandet hade bara några veckor på sig att repetera innan skivan skulle spelas in. De repade i en gammal skola i Borgeby och gjorde en repetitionskonsert på Wermlands nation i Lund. Fotografierna på konvolutet och innerkonvolutet togs av den då 19-åriga Mats Bäcker, som vid denna tidpunkt gick en fotoutbildning på Värnhemsskolan i Malmö. Bilderna till omslagets framsida togs på Kentucky Grill på Lilla Fiskargatan i Lund. Bilderna till innerkonvolutet togs i replokalen, förutom en på Kalle Pedal som togs på Wermlands nation.

Skivan spelades in på fem timmar i Studio Bellatrix i Malmö, och hade ett gäng av Kal P. Dals kompisar och några andra som publik.

Battblush: If I can quote my little girl: "Oooh, Scarewy!"
I recently made a new friend. We met at work and clicked immediately. J and I found we had much in common and have been pretty close ever since. She also claims to be a psychic. She is in fact my second friend to have claims towards psychic ability.
J has a friend K. K and I met one night when J and I went to the pub after work. We also immediately clicked. The three of us have become extremely close. K also asserts her psychic proclivities.
I'm a sceptic, but having spent fourteen years defending my religious beliefs, I don't sit in judgement of other people's spiritual needs.
I'm having drinks recently with J and K at K's house. I'm telling them about the fact that Battboy and I are selling our house and building one in Clarkson/Somerley. I tell them about the house we've chosen and why we've decided to build over buy established. I'm really excited. K looks at me, shakes her head and says "You won't end up building. You'll find the perfect house in your price range and you'll buy instead." Now, my beloved and I have researched the areas north of the river and there's no way we can afford it. C'est impossible. I dismiss her prediction and get on with the drinking portion of the evening.
Another friend of J's joins us (we'll call her J2). We chat til the wee hours before J2 decides it's time to head home. She has a long drive in the morning and wants some sleep. We all hug her goodnight. After she has left K rubs her hands over her eyes and tells J and I "Something bad is going to happen to her within the next few days. She's going to be hurt in an accident of some kind. It's bad."
J and K look worried, I pick up my glass of red.
Another hour or so passes. We play a game, we chat some more. We're girlies and we're bonding. It's all good until K asks "How many children did you say you have?"
"I see you with six. Three boys, three girls."
"No, I have three boys and two girls."
"Do you want to have another baby?"
"Oh god, No! Never again. Not after I went through with Connor."
She stares at me for about ten seconds.
"You're going to have another girl. Her name will be Hope. The pregnancy will be wonderful, not a problem, but it will end in a caesarean."
J nods her head, rubs her arms. "I feel it too. It is going to happen."
I raise my eyebrow, pick up my glass of red.
A few days later I'm lunching with my third 'psychic' friend and tell her all about this. I laugh. She doesn't laugh with me. She rubs her arms, shows me the goose-bumps. "She's right. And it won't be too long."
I smirk, shake my head at my gullible friends, raise my glass of white.
Battboy and I went to K's for a housewarming party. She turns to me and says "Poor J2, hey?"
"She was in an accident on Tuesday. Both arms are broken in several places and are full of pins. She only left hospital today."
"Oh my god! That's awful! Is she okay?"
"She's in a lot of pain, but at least she's alive. It could have been worse."
I stop and stare at her. "You predicted this. You said it would happen."
She nods and says, "I know. I just saw it so clearly."
On Sunday Battboy are skimming through the real-estate section. We're reading an article about housing prices in various suburbs. Quite by accident we find we can buy an established four bedroom house in Clarkson for about the same price we're selling our three bedroom house for.
"Well, that's changed things," Lee says. "I'd rather buy established now than wait 2 years to build."
And like that it's decided. We take a run up to Clarkson, and sure enough it's true. We can find lovely established houses in our price range. We've changed our minds and have decided to buy in order to settle the family that much quicker.
Needless to say, Lee and I have doubled our contraception.

Ashby woman charged in fatal crash
PUBLISHED: June 30, 2018 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: July 11, 2019 at 12:00 am
SHIRLEY — One person died and another was arrested following a two-car crash on Great Road Thursday night.
Authorities charged Victoria Marble, 39, of Ashby with three counts including operating under the influence of alcohol, reckless operation and a marked-lane violation, according to the Middlesex District Attorney's Office.
Marble was arrested before being transported to an area hospital and was to be arraigned Friday afternoon in Ayer District Court, but the results of that proceeding were not immediately available.
The name of the victim, a Lunenburg woman in her 30s, has not been released.
Police were dispatched to the area of 134 Great Road/Route 2A shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday for a report of a motor vehicle accident with injuries. There was significant front-end damage to both vehicles, Marble's 2005 Buick Rendezvous and the victim's 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser, according to an earlier police press release.
"Upon arrival, it was immediately apparent that the accident was very serious," the Shirley Police Department wrote on its Facebook page Friday morning.
The collision occurred near the intersection of Great Road and Longley Road.
The crash remains under investigation by Shirley police, the Central Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council and the Massachusetts State Police crash reconstruction unit, police said.


For this model, Attila Szamosi and Lars Wunderlich, members of the PeachBeach collective, took care of this umbrella. And the result is sumptuous. A clever mix of drawed figures, and originals writing supported with a judicious panel of colours.

Today's perception of Japanese contemporary art cannot be disassociated from 'Manga' or 'Anime'. The popularity of Japanese manga is evident in all corners of the world today, as the word manga itself has established itself as a well-recognized terminology.
Go Yayanagi and Shinjiro Okamoto are pioneers of the manga-movement in that their artwork consist of stylized lines, shadowless, flat surfaces adorned with vivid colours, and contain strong messages with a touch of humor, all idiosyncratic of Japanese pop.


Warm thanks to Steen Felding, who has donated much material (e.g. databases, information, photos) to the Scandinavia SIG, and who is willing to share with us his knowledge based on many years of intensive research in the Danish archives.
According to the Census of 1. July 1787 only two Jewish families lived in Horsens: Joel Ballin and Isac Zacharias Levy.
In the beginning of the 19th Century a few more families had come to Horsens from Fredericia. At the request of David Davidsen, Joseph Carl Wulff and Isac Zacharias Levy the Jews in Horsens got permission in 1803 to establish a synagogue.
Some years later Joel Ballin was granted permission "because of old age and weakness" to have a "prayerroom" in his own home for him and his family.
The congregation in Horsens grew steadily and in 1834 there were 10 families (68 persons). During the 19th Century the Jews became an important part of the town – the Levy-family in particular was important for both the trade and the industry.
In 1867 Isac Zacharias Levy's sons donated a house in Farvergade to Jewish community in Horsens to be used as synagogue. It was used until 1897, when there was no longer a Jewish congregation.
Cohn's house in Horsens Baker Joel Isaak Cohn (1821-1889) with members of his family in front of their house in Smedegade.
Some of Joel Isaak Cohn's children emigrated to Australia [Cf.: "Tablets of Memory - The Bendigo Cohns and their Descendants", Antelope Press, Doncaster, Australia 1990].
The Jewish cemetery in Horsens was established in 1850 when an area of some 7,000 square "alen" [1 "alen" ~ two feet] outside the town was bought for 250 Rigsbankdaler and conveyed to Moses Isac Levy, as representative for the Jewish congregation. Until that time Jews had been buried in Fredericia Jewish Cemetery.
