"Weird" and "wonderful" were words used to describe two massive horned dinosaur skulls shown to the world for the first time Wednesday at the Utah Museum of Natural History.
Utahceratops gettyi and Kosmoceratops richardsoni roamed what is today the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah 75 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period when the continent was split in two by an ocean.
The findings of the team that discovered and classified the creatures were published Wednesday in the online scientific journal PLoS ONE, said Scott Sampson, paleontologist research curator for the museum.
The Utahceratops skull is seven feet long with horns that grow sideways out of the skull like a bison's. The Kosmoceratops has 15 horns, some also growing sideways, along with 10 bones spiking from the top of the fan-shaped shield growing out from the back of its head.
The two skulls are unique in their horn arrangements and evolved differently from other dinosaurs in the Triceratops group that once roamed from Alaska to Mexico.
Previously, scientists thought that particular species of dinosaurs in groups like Triceratops lived at different times. But the discovery of the two skulls suggests different species lived at the same time.
Scott Richardson, an amateur paleontologist and seasonal worker for the Monument, who discovered Kosmoceratops in 2006, said he was exploring an area of the Kaiparowits Plateau when he found a baseball-size piece of bone.
He said while looking for the origin of the bone, he planted his geology hammer into a hillside.
"Lo and behold, a bone came out," he said.
He took the specimen to Mike Getty, paleontology collections manager at the Museum of Natural History, who examined the bone.
"The next day [Getty] came into town and I asked him about the bone," said Richardson. "He said it was nothing, but a big grin came across his face and said it was an incredible find."
Having your name attached to that of a new dinosaur species is a rare privilege not missed by Richardson.
"It's awesome," he said.
Getty said Utahceratops is the first species bearing his name and the second species of dinosaur besides Utahraptor to bear the state's name.
Getty first found evidence of Utahceratops in 2000 when he found an unusual piece of bone while exploring part of the rugged Kaiparowits Formation.
"We knew we had something new," said Getty.
It took almost a decade for Getty and other paleontologists to piece together the huge skull from fragments of the species found in an area spread over 30 square kilometers.
"It was like putting together a puzzle," said Getty.
The discoveries are just the latest of 16 new species that have been discovered in the bone-rich monument in the past 11 years.
"There's more to come after this," said Sampson, who described the monument as a wild, remote and rugged place of few roads.
"Its [exploration] is a logistical challenge," said Sampson.
Also Wednesday, the dinosaur skulls were taken to Daybreak Elementary School in South Jordan to introduce students to the wonders of paleontology. Some may have already learned about a number of those wonders from the PBS television show "Dinosaur Train," hosted by Sampson, who is often received as a rock star by children.
The public will have a chance to see the pair of skulls Thursday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m at the Museum of Natural History, 1390 E. Presidents Circle, at the University of Utah.

THIS BUD'S FOR YOU, ALGEBRA CLASS.
Your VP, Senator. What Will "He" Be Like?


I remember the late 60s when the Democratic Convention was filled with angry protests. And major cities like Chicago and Cleveland had riots. Back then, the turmoil was over the Vietnam War, race relations, the Kent State shooting, poverty, feminism and other stuff.
Sounds a lot like today. Just different names and different places. As a young kid of 11 years, I watched all this with amazement. Most of these things were happening in the big cities like San Francisco, LA, New York, Chicago.
The rest of the country just dealt with these problems as best they could.
I can't help but think that a lot of this is about people living on top of each other. With no place to get away and think. Folks are stacked on top of each other 50 stories up. And no elbow room horizontally either. They are breathing stale air. Waiting in traffic. Waiting in line for everything. Where every small offense threatens to ignite like a match in a dynamite shed. Just waiting for a little spark to set everything off.
Much of this friction seems to originate from the big cities. Every new aberrant behavior. Every new philosophy. Every new law to allow a very small number of people to force their own sensitivity and sexual bent on the rest of the country. Such as when we prosecute and horrendously fine people unwilling to bake a cake for a wedding they don't believe in.
We are living in the most boastfully "tolerant", yet intolerant age; where every little behavioral style must force its expression on everyone else. People must have their way. We must cater to every whim of stupidity and wickedness.
This is why we need to spread out.
The cities have always been a big problem. Sodom and Gomorrah come to mind. Not a happy ending there. We should take a lesson from Lot in Genesis. Lot liked the beautiful fields outside the city and pitched his tent "toward Sodom". But eventually he was drawn inside it with all its wickedness.
If we would learn to be more independent in our living styles, we wouldn't need to try to force everyone to follow our own immoral bent. The guys that wanted to do something weird, could just go to their own valleys. They would be forced to deal with all the consequences of their alternative lifestyles by themselves.
And, if they didn't do the right thing, the Lord would deal with them as a group. No rain. Draught. Flood. Lightning bolts. This is the way God has dealt with things in the past. With nations and people as a group. Blessing and withholding blessing as He chose.
I think one of the reasons many people like to live in the big cities is that there they have an illusion of security. The city allows them to choose among a vast array of unbiblical beliefs with less objection than they would generally find in the small towns.
When that occurs, when they leave trust in the Lord behind, they need the big groups. They need the government to step in and take care of them. To provide for them. To make them feel accepted.
Because, when we abandon God, something else will step in to fill the vacuum. Satan is always standing at the door to provide an alternative. He has a plate of warm cookies, pretty lights and all sorts of cool, sparkly things to calm the fears of those who veer away from the authority of scripture.
OK. I know you may like the big cities. And this is not a doctrine against big cities I am hammering out here. I am talking about a trend. What usually happens. And why it happens.
Of course, this does not apply to everyone that lives in the city. It also doesn't mean there aren't great things to see and do in many cities. A visit to the city can be an amazing adventure.
This is about the philosophies and values that commonly grow in the huge metropolitan areas. It is also about the pride and ego that these media, cultural, educational and financial centers develop about their own importance and place in the world. As if what happens there must be the nucleus of all else that happens in the country.
It is just that the big cities want to dictate how the rest of the country is to live. They think that all the rest of us should follow laws that are relevant, for the most part, just to their own super-concentrated environments.
For example, LA and New York City are highly polluted areas. And they want to make the rest of the world clean. Maybe just stop concentrating all that industry in the big cities. Spread out. Let the earth breathe. The earth can handle it.
I could say a whole lot more. But I am just leaving it alone for now.
Just one thing. Quit believing the mainstream media. They have their own agenda. They are not objective. They are telling you what they want you to think.
Think for yourself. Stop being a media junky. It is just junk. It will kill you.
From the opening verse of this post, it is interesting to note that a woman or "goddess" was at the center of that uprising. So many were enraged that she was not shown the proper respect. But, really, the entire mess was instigated by wealthy men who had much to lose if she fell out of favor.
A concluding point? God is not the author of confusion. The turmoil is coming from somewhere else.
We don't know what will happen in this world. We don't know if our leaders will truly be good or bad. But God does.
Pray. Seek the Lord who is the God of all comfort. Go to the Prince of Peace. Trust Him as Lord and Savior. Begin seeking help from Him rather than all the other sources seeking to sink their claws into you. To make you dependent on them.

It Doesn't Have To Be Right…
… it just has to sound plausible
Moving pictures, #17
April 8, 2016 by iansales	6 Comments
Seems to be mostly US films this time, including a few populist ones. I don't know what came over me.
Ant-Man, Peyton Reed (2015, USA). Superhero films are monumentally stupid and pretty much awful. Putting comics up on screen and investing billions of dollars in state-of-the-art CGI has not made them any cleverer or less juvenile. And yet Ant-Man is one of the few which, we're told, transcends the genre. Which, when you think about it, is a backhand way of saying, "yes, we know superhero films are dumb and low art". Of course, it does no such thing. Its hero is a bit grey, inasmuch as he's no boy scout in tights; but neither is he a villain. As for the plot: nasty executive takes over noble inventor's company, exploits'magical maguffin invention for typically capitalist reasons, or at least tries to… Yawn. We've seen it a zillion times before. The only difference is that in SuperheroWorld, said executive gets his comeuppance; in the real world, he gets a seven-figure bonus. Paul Rudd makes a good fist of the title role, although Michael Douglas these days feels more like a caricature of an actor than an actor. But the story was the usual superhero bobbins, and figuring out whether a superhero film is a good film per se is a bit like counting angels on the head of a pin – ie, you have to believe in angels in the first place. Best just walk away.
Atlantis – The Lost Empire, Gary Trousdale & Kirk Wise (2001, USA). And if superhero movies are for people who haven't grown-up, then Hollywood animated movies are for people who have yet to grow up. (When I wrote that sentence it seemed to make perfect sense to me, but coming back to it a couple of days later, I'm having trouble figuring out what I meant. Ah well.) There's no reason why such films have to be like that, of course – just look at Japan's anime industry; or indeed animated films from Europe, such as René Laloux's La Planète Sauvage, or anything by Jan Svankmajer. (We'll ignore Heavy Metal for the time-being, if you don't mind.) Atlantis – The Lost Empire is a kids' film, but the design is quite effective and the story is sufficiently oddball to appeal to me. Its performance at the box office was apparently "lacklustre", so much so that Disney cancelled a planned television series and an underwater attraction at Disneyland. It's by no means a great film, although it has become something of a "cult favourite". There's a sequel, Atlantis: Milo's Return, which was cobbled together from three episodes of the cancelled television series, and it's pretty damn poor. Atlantis – The Lost Empire doesn't hold a candle to either Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella, but it's still better than about half of Disney's feature film output.
Spy, Paul Feig (2015, USA). Every now and again I throw a Hollywood blockbuster onto my rental list (er, okay, perhaps more than one, given the above), so I can spend at least one night with my brain turned off (shut up at the back); and while I never have especially high hopes of such films I'm prepared to be pleasantly surprised. I wasn't for Ant-Man, but Spy was a comedy and… Oh dear. Tonally, it was all over the place. Humour one minute, over-the-top violence the next. And the improv… Seriously, whoever decided that improv was a good way to make comedy movies "better" was clearly a fucking idiot. Remember those films with sharpy witty dialogue? They were written like that. Now we have witless burblings spontaneously vomited up by comedians who think that not filtering their verbiage is the way to generate laughter. It's not. Spy had its moment, not least the set-up, in which a field agent's support officer takes his place in the, er, field… but they just had to over-egg the cake and make her some sort of combat expert despite the fact her career had been spent behind a desk. And the dialogue bounced from the inane to the embarrassing, without doing much to advance the plot. Spy could have been a good film, but giving the cast free rein was a big mistake – this is a movie that needed to be tightly controlled to work. In its present incarnation, it doesn't.
Beyond, Joseph Baker & Tom Large (2014, UK). This was a charity shop find, and I'm not entirely what it was I actually found. Earth has been attacked by aliens, who have pretty much defeated humanity. There's a couple, they meet at a fancy dress party. They get together, I think they marry, they have a baby. They argue about the baby. The film jumps back and forth chronologically. And I have to admit that after a while I started to lose interest. Beyond is one of those independent films in which pretty much everything is implied and all that remains on the screen is the bickering between the two leads. In and of itself, this is not necessarily bad, but Beyond does feel more like it should be a short film, rather than a 84-minute feature film. I'll give the movie a rewatch, because I feel it ought to be more interesting than it proved – but we'll, er, see…
Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone, Hideaki Anno (2007, Japan). I am not a big fan of anime, although people continue to recommend various anime films and/or OAV to me. But it's worth doing so, because sometimes it sticks. Usually it takes a while after I've watched it, however. (I am, incidentally, defining "big fan" based on those anime fans I know, who have watched absolute tons of the stuff.) For example, I watched and enjoyed Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise, and then later decided to pick up a copy of it for myself. And I'm sort of feeling the same for Evangelion 1.11, except… Well, this film, and its sequels, is a reworking of the OAV Neon Genesis Evangelion, and I'm wondering if I might be better off watching the OAV. Especially since, according to Wikipedia, the OAV goes into more detail on the background – Evangelion 1.11 more or less throws you right into the middle of the story, and it's only some way into the film that some background needed to follow the story is revealed. And yet, the art is of a high quality, the story is certainly intriguing, and I actually find the refusal to explain makes me like the film more. It's set in, er, 2015, after aliens – called Angels – have wiped out much of the Earth's population. Secret scientific organisation NERV has invented giant cyborg mecha to fight the Angels, and this film is about the first of those to go into combat, and its pilot's relationship with the wounded pilot of the prototype mecha. I can't get excited about men and women in giant robot suits – I really didn't like Pacific Rim – but there's enough going on in the story of Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone, for me, to offset the fact it's about men and women in giant robot suits. Incidentally, Neon Genesis Evangelion comprised twenty-six, but there are only four feature-film reboots – this one, Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance, Evangelion 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo, and an unmade final film.
Shadows*, John Cassavetes (1959, USA). Cassvetes appears four times on the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list, and he was certainly an important figure in US independent cinema, but, in terms of cinema as a whole, was he more important than, say, Varda, Wajda, Mizoguchi, Ozu, Sturges, Resnais, Kiarostami, Haneke, or Ophüls… to name a few? I can understand why Shadows is on 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list, not just because if its importance in terms of indie cinema, but also because of its subject matter. But according to Wikipedia, its genesis was a bit fraught. Originally shot with improvised dialogue, Cassavetes ended up remaking great chunks of it using a script. As documentation of a particular time and place – New York, the late 1950s – and a particular sector of society, Shadows works well; but the improvisational nature of the story tells against it, and it often seems a little too chaotic – but that's something all of Cassavetes's films have in common, and probably explains why I'm not a fan of his work. Yes, Shadows belongs on 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list, moreso perhaps than some of Cassavetes's other movies; and at least I can now cross it off.
La strada*, Federico Fellini (1954, Italy). Fellini is a popular director in the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die list, with seven films – one of which is La strada. I have to date seen all but one of those films, and I liked 8½ pretty much straightaway, and grew to love Fellini Satyricon as I watched it. The rest were a bit meh. To be fair, I like Italian Neo-realism as an idea more than I've liked those films which are labelled as such – not that all, or indeed many, of Fellini's movies have been classified as Italian Neo-realist. La strada has Giuletta Masina as a naïf who is sold to an abusive Anthony Quinn to perform as assistant (and clown) to his travelling strong man act. She runs away, he finds her, there's a rivalry with trapeze artist Richard Basehart. The rivalry intensifies, partly driven by the two men's relationships with Masina… and it all ends badly, in a sort of all-too-predictable-but-gently-ironic way, not that Fellini is a director who does irony especially well. I would rate some of Fellini's films highly, but not this one. I'm glad I saw it, and I can cross it off the list, but that's about it.
1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die count: 750

OAV (generally written as OVA, for Original Video Animation) doesn't mean what you think it means! Neon Genesis Evangelion is a series. Except that it's slightly more complicated than that because there are a couple of movies (End of Evangelion and Death and Rebirth) that change / wrap up the plot. But, either way, none of them are either OAVs or OVAs. Also, anime episodes are only about 18 minutes long once you lop off the opening and credits, so converting a 26 episode series into four films doesn't actually lose that much at all. Oh, and also also, the series is all but impossible to get these days, except in dodgy Malaysian knock-off copies.
iansales
I stand corrected. I had thought OVA (not sure why I put OAV; ah well) referred to anime that originally appeared as series broadcast on television or released on VHS, DVD, etc. I take it you've seen Neon Genesis Evangelion (and yes, I did notice that the only full set currently available seems to go for around £260 or more).
Nope, haven't seen it, to my eternal chagrin.
Well, I went and bought a cheap copy of Evangelion 1.11 on Blu-ray on eBay, so you can borrow it some time…
Oh, sorry, the new ones. I've got the first couple, saving up for 3.33.
Never mind then 🙂

A New Model of the Gold Standard
Kevin Dowd
Anthony A. Sampson
This paper presents a new model of the gold standard that enables the authors to disentangle the different monetary functions of gold. It builds in the sensible condition that the 'easiest' gold will be mined first and takes seriously the constraint implied by the irreversibility of gold mining. This constraint generates important asymmetries between the effects of rises and falls in exogenous variables. The authors' model also handles gold and the demand for it at an explicit primitive level and, thus, enables them to carry out a wide range of interesting conceptual experiments.

ACI Commences Safety Inspection Of Abuja Airport
Abuja, Ejike Ejike
A team from the Airport Council International (ACI) has commenced security and safety inspections of facilities and equipment at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja to access its level of compliance to international best practices in terms of security.
The six team member, led by Brahim Lakhlili of the Airport Excellence (APEX), an arm of Airport Council International (ACI) began the inspection yesterday, and would inspect the airside, apron, tarmac and the perimeter fences of the airport to know its level of compliance
The team, which just concluded the inspection of the the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos last week, is expected conclude its inspection within one week after which, the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN would determine where next to inspect.
Speaking with the media on the reason for the inspection, Lakhlili said it was a routine check which the Council embarks on from time to time and from country to country.
He further clarified on that the inspection was not to find faults or condem the security and safety situations at the airport but to improve on whatever is on ground as there can never be too careful in security issues.
While also speaking, the operational manager, North central and the Abuja airport manager, Mahmud Sani said after the certification of the airport by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority in November, 2018, we decide to follow up and ensure that we remain aflot and hence the visit by the ACI.
He further explained that the inspection is a regular thing and the team will be given the chance to inspect every part of the airport as it was the initiative of FAAN to invite them and find a way of working together to better Nigeria aviation.
While explaining that there was no cause for alarm in terms of security, the airport manager said the exercise is more of assessment in line with international best practices and noted that the team was not only at the airport for correction, but about assistance where necessary to the airport and FAAN, stressing that the team would also look at the agency's facilities manpower at various locations, perimeter fences and others that had to do with security and ways to improve on them.

Walid Jubrin Reappoints PDP BOT Chairman For Another 5 Years


Discussion in 'Introductions' started by SkyTerrapin, Jan 28, 2012.
Its been a while (4 decades!) since I last shot an air rifle. Have since dabbled with clay shooting and indoor range pistol shooting.
I feel the urge to try a rifle once more...but how things have changed!
Have read some mags and catalogues. Fancy a go at HFT.
Question: in the mags/catalogues the rifles are shown as "prime role" FT HFT Hunter etc. Now.. would a rifle specified as "Hunter" be suitable for HFT or are there some factors in the rifles specified as HFTs that are needed which may not be in those marked as Hunter only?
I am particularly interested in a springer rifle (pref under lever) but if I look at just those marked HFT only the choice seems somewhat limited.
Question: As I am in Oxfordshire (Wallingford) does anyone have any comments about the North Oxon Club or perhaps the Newbury Club....do they participate in HRT?
Thanks in advance for any help/info.
If you've not shot an air rifle for a while then shooting a PCP will be a huge surprise; they are virtually recoiless and a real pleasure to shoot.
Thanks for the info so far chaps...most helpful.
I was looking mainly at 177 anyways.
Shaun...thanks for the bit about PCP. I have read about them and seen some vids about them...but you know what?......it is because they are recoiless that I would not take that route!!! ...dosen't seeem right to me.LOL Just call me old skool.
Missed the bit about North Oxon.
Hmm ... yes... an easy keyboard errot that one!

Not even an action for copyright infringement can stop Hollywood juggernaut Angelina Jolie from dominating the big screen.
Jolie was sued by a Croatian journalist who claims that Jolie stole from his 2007 book for the plot of her film, "In the Land of Blood and Honey," which tells the story of an abused woman in war-torn Bosnia. But this week, the plaintiff voluntarily dropped his motion for a temporary restraining order to halt the film's release.
Fans will be able to judge the originality of the film for themselves when they see it in theaters December 23.

CARSON — When the Bills announced rookie Nathan Peterman as their new starting quarterback last Wednesday, Casey Hayward was a little confused.
The way Hayward saw it, he was part of a Chargers defense that ranked among the best in the league. A dynamic pass-rushing duo in Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram, who entered the weekend with 18 combined sacks. A stout secondary that included Trevor Williams — a promising second-year pro — and Hayward himself, a Pro Bowl cornerback.
This was the week Buffalo decided to play a fifth-round pick?
That they did. The Chargers picked off Peterman five times en route to a 54-24 blowout at StubHub Center, setting a franchise record for interceptions in a single half.
Linebacker Korey Toomer got the party started, catching ball that went off fullback Patrick DiMarco's hand and turning it into a 59-yard touchdown return — the first such play of his career. Hayward took his turn next, diving for a pass that Peterman floated 2 or 3 yards short of the nearest receiver. Ten minutes and three pass attempts later, Peterman found Tre Boston, connecting with the Chargers safety just shy of midfield.
At that point, Buffalo coach Sean McDermott could have made the move. Down by just 10 points after the Chargers' ensuing touchdown drive, he could have benched Peterman and put Tyrod Taylor — a former Pro Bowler — back in to salvage a winnable game and preserve their hold on an AFC wild-card spot.
Peterman dangled. His first pass of the second quarter landed, again, in Hayward's hands, setting up another touchdown for the Chargers (4-6). The Pitt alum managed to complete two more passes to his teammates before throwing yet another interception, with his final turnover going to Williams with 41 seconds left in the half.
Finally, mercifully, Peterman's day was over.
More than four decades had passed since the last time an NFL team had as many interceptions before halftime. The last to do it were the Dolphins, who did so against the Steelers on Dec. 3, 1973 — returning two for touchdowns.
The Chargers tacked on one more takeaway for good measure, on Bosa's strip-sack of Taylor late in the third quarter — one that Ingram scooped up for a touchdown of his own. The final tally went unnoticed by Anthony Lynn, understandable given that the game featured three more scoring plays in the fourth quarter.
"I didn't even realize we had six turnovers, to be honest with you," said the Chargers' first-year head coach, who had spent two seasons on the Bills staff before coming to Los Angeles. His team now has 17 takeaways on the season, including eight in the past five quarters of regulation.
While the defensive backs finished off the majority of those plays, they also owed a debt to their teammates up front. Lynn said after the game that Peterman's completion percentage in the preseason dropped noticeably in the face of pressure — and he dialed up their game plan accordingly.
While the Chargers had only one sack, Bosa and Ingram frequently made Peterman uncomfortable in the pocket. The former landed a big hit late in the first quarter, just after the quarterback let fly what became the third of his five interceptions.
He even sounded a little sympathetic.
Quarterback Philip Rivers made the 195th consecutive start of his career on Sunday. Earlier this week, he put that record at risk.
On Monday morning, Rivers self-reported concussion symptoms — an admirable if unusual move for a player who has played through everything from a bulging disk in his lower back to a torn ACL. But the 35-year-old did not miss a practice, and an independent neurologist cleared him to play Friday afternoon.
The Chargers activated third-string quarterback Cardale Jones for the first time this fall — a contingency plan in case Rivers took a bad hit. He didn't, and throwing for 251 yards and two touchdowns before his team's lead earned him some rest in the fourth quarter.
Backup Kellen Clemens completed five passes for 33 yards in his first appearance on offense this season.

About A Journal for Jordan (Movie Tie-In)
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • "A hauntingly beautiful account of a family fractured by war . . . filled with vivid and heartbreaking details."—The New York Times Book Review
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • "Full of wonderful treasures offered by a unique and spirited father . . . written with serene grace: part memoir, part love story, all heart."—James McBride, author of The Color of Water
In 2005, Dana Canedy's fiancé, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King, began to write what would become a two-hundred-page journal for his son in case he did not make it home from the war in Iraq. He was killed by a roadside bomb on October 14, 2006. His son, Jordan, was seven months old.
Inspired by his example, Dana was determined to preserve his memory for their son. A Journal for Jordan is a mother's fiercely honest letter to her child about the parent he lost before he could even speak. It is also a father's advice and prayers for the son he will never know.
A father figure to the soldiers under his command, Charles moved naturally into writing to his son. In neat block letters, he counseled him on everything from how to withstand disappointment and deal with adversaries to how to behfrave on a date. And he also wrote of recovering a young soldier's body, piece by piece, from a tank—and the importance of honoring that young man's life. He finished the journal two months before his death while home on a two-week leave, so intoxicated with love for his infant son that he barely slept.
This is also the story of Dana and Charles together—two seemingly mismatched souls who loved each other deeply and lost each other too soon. A Journal for Jordan is a tender introduction, a loving good-bye, a reporter's inquiry into her soldier's life, and a heartrending reminder of the human cost of war.

"This book is a gift, and not only to Jordan."—USA Today
"Canedy's talent at evoking character makes the account of King's life and death not simply a story about the injustice of war, but a project in resurrection. Canedy allows King to come alive for her son and, to our benefit, for us. . . . Gripping . . . important."—The New York Times Book Review
"It's impossible not to be affected by her story."—Entertainment Weekly
"At once inspiring and ineffably sad . . . Canedy captures the unique magnificence of the man she loved in a way that brings the beginnings of an understanding to the losses that other families bear."—The Denver Post
"Gut-wrenching . . . Canedy writes with the objective eye of a hard-line reporter yet manages to convey the complexities of the love between her and her fiance as well as the deep loss she feels in his absence. It's impossible to imagine what her pain is like, but she does a beautiful job of allowing us to come close."—The Washington Post
"Canedy's memoir speaks to military families everywhere. . . . By openly and honestly revealing her side of their highly emotional story as well, by detailing the effects of his death on her and subsequent interactions with government brass about burial and benefits, for example . . . she gives the project a greater significance, making it especially relevant for and meaningful to countless others in similar situations."—San Francisco Chronicle
"Heartfelt . . . Canedy used her skills as a reporter to dig beneath the official story of King's death. . . . These investigative passages are gripping. . . . King died a hero's death, but Canedy's embrace of life is a kind of heroism, too."—The Plain Dealer
"Powerful . . . Not all great love stories are ignited by the lightning bolt of love at first glance; this humbler I'm-going-to-talk-myself-into-this-good-man version is believable and real. . . . A Journal for Jordan is impossible to read without a sense of bitter knowledge that this principled man fell at the behest of leaders less guided by honor. That is no trick O. Henry ending. It is a denouement full of suffering, worthy of Chekhov."—Melissa Fay Greene, The New York Times
"This tragic story of love and war reminds all Americans that we are fortunate to have people like Sgt. Charles King, willing to die for our country. Dana Canedy bears witness to the enduring power of love, to Sgt. King's heroism and his unfailing devotion to his family and his men."—Caroline Kennedy
"Dana Canedy's moving memoir has captured my heart and won't let it go. Courageous in its honesty and at times unsettling, it draws us deep into the soul of a woman in love, the pain of her loss and the unpardonable theft of hopes and dreams, lives and futures stolen by war. I didn't want it to end."—Susan L. Taylor, editor-in-chief emeritus, Essence, and founder of the National CARES Mentoring Movement

In what was a defensive battle for over three quarters. The Tigers(3-2) exploded for 18 points in the fourth quarter to defeat the undefeated Holland College Hurricanes(5-0), 22-8.
The Hurricanes had been riding a sixteen home undefeated streak but Dal's vaunted defence guided by head coach Wetmore kept Holland College off balance all day. Two interceptions by Jordan Stirling along with ten tackles led the black and gold D. MacKenzie Inglis added a pick and four tackles and the defensive front four lead by David Parkhill and Emmanuel Gilbert saw the Hurricane QBs sacked and hurried on numerous occasions.
The Tigers only weak defensive time came after Rob Wilson scored a point on a missed 22 yard FG. The Hurricanes would march 75 yards and Anton Sianchuk would connect with Steve Knapton from the 18. HC's 2 point convert was thwarted making the half time score 6-1 for the Hurricanes.
A safety by Holland and a successful Wilson FG made the score 8-4 at three quarter time. The Tigers' 0 came alive in the 4th Q, ignited by three Hurricane turnovers, 2 on INTs and one on downs, after being stopped on a fake punt.
Quarterback Nick Hunsley had a strong game completing 22/31 for 231 yards with two TD strikes. One went to Gullimae Bernier from 20 yards out and the second to Alex Bayne from the 15.
Wilson, D's leading scorer on the day, added another FG, a 32 yard single on a beauty punt and two PATs, making the final 22-8.
Holland College, two time consecutive AFL champs, finish first and will host UNBSJ in one semi-final while Dal finish second and will host the UNBF Red Bombers at Huskies' Stadium on Saturday afternoon, October 31st at 2pm in the other semi. The AFL final will be played on November 7th.

Beyond proportionality: thinking comparatively aboutconstitutional review and punitiveness

US law is often cast as a notable outlier in two prominent fields of comparative studies. Among comparative constitutional lawyers, the US Supreme Court is famous for its apparent reluctance to embrace the kind of proportionality reasoning seemingly so familiar in Western Europe and in other liberal jurisdictions. And for scholars of comparative criminal justice, the United States stands out, as it has for the past 40 years or so, in terms of the numbers of individuals sent to prison, and in the harshness of the treatment meted out to offenders. Could these two phenomena be connected? By way of an indirect - and incomplete - answer to this question, this paper develops three lines of argument on the punitiveness-proportionality relationship. First, at least some of the factors that help explain cross-country variations in punitiveness, seem relevant also to an understanding of similarities and differences in relation to proportionality reasoning in constitutional jurisprudence. The paper discusses what comparative constitutional lawyers might take from leading work in this area by David Garland, Nicola Lacey, Michael Tonry, James Q. Whitman and others. Second, the comparative punitiveness literature shows how a more substantive understanding of 'proportionateness' could be developed, to move beyond the more formal, doctrinal preoccupations of much comparative constitutional law scholarship on proportionality. And third, the paper suggests that penal moderation and proportionality reasoning appear connected in terms of a deeper, underlying sensibility framed here as an 'intolerance for wrong outcomes'. The paper proposes that future comparative work should aim to engage more directly with this underlying intolerance and its opposites.

Q: One point compactification and field extension We know that a topological space $X$ has a one point compactification if there exist a compact set $Y$ having $X$ as a subspace,where $Y\setminus X$ contains a single point Also for two such $Y$ and $Y'$ we have a homeomorphism which is identity on $X$.
Now in the theory of fields,we know for any polynomial $p(x)\in F[x]$ ($F$ is a field) there exist an extension $F'$ of $F$ such that $p$ has root. Also for any two such $F'$ and $F''$ we have an isomorphism between $F'$ and $F''$ which is identity on $F$.
There is too much similarity in the spirit of these two theorem. My question is there any common philosophy behind the proof of these statements?

Q: Sparse matrix of variable movement (digits) between 2 same sized lists I want to create a sparse matrix of the differences between the indexes of two 1D arrays or lists of digits. These two rows give us the positions at time 'a' and at a later time 'b'.
a = [6,3,10,2,5,7,4,11,8,9]
b = [10,3,6,5,11,2,7,8,9,4]

As you can see, '6' has moved from index 0 to index 2.
'3' from index 1, to index 1.
'10' from index 2, to index 0.
'2' from index 3, to index 5.
and so on...
I want to map this movement on to a sparse n*n matrix.
Each row and column is in numerical order starting from 2 as per:
>>>sorted(a)
[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]

The following is the end result I want (the sparse matrix of movement).
array([[ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 0.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 0.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
   [ 1.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]])

which is a representative of this graph I have drawn up:

Whereby the first column is represented by list a and the second column represented by list b.
The pink highligher indicates a movement towards index 0 (upwards).
The yellow highlighter indicates a movement downwards.
No highlighter means no change in position.
This is what I have:
>>>import numpy as np
>>>sparse = np.zeros((len(a),len(a)))
>>>sparse.shape
(10, 10)
>>>a_unique = np.unique(np.array(b), return_index=True)
>>>b_unique = np.unique(np.array(b), return_index=True)
>>>a_unique
(array([ 2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9, 10, 11]), array([3, 1, 6, 4, 0, 5, 8, 9, 2, 7]))
>>>b_unique
(array([ 2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9, 10, 11]), array([5, 1, 9, 3, 2, 6, 7, 8, 0, 4]))

Now if we subtract b_unique from a_unique, this gives us the following:
>>> a_unique[1]-b_unique[1]
array([-2,  0, -3,  1, -2, -1,  1,  1,  2,  3])

^ A negative number is represented vertically (as a column) in the sparse matrix as positions given to other digits (i.e. the number has moved downwards from list a to list b, i.e. yellow highlighter).
^ A positive number is represented horizontally (as a row) in the sparse matrix as positions received from other digits (i.e. the number has moved upwards from list a to list b, i.e. pink highlighter).
I am not sure how to continue to solve this problem and hence why I need assistance.

A: I was able to solve this problem after sleeping on it.
def seq_movement(a,b):
    import numpy as np
    def counter(items):
    counts = dict()
    for i in items:
        counts[i] = counts.get(i, 0) + 1
    return counts

    def find_2(dic):
        return [k for k, v in dic.items() if v ==2]

    sort = sorted(a)
    sparse = np.zeros([len(sort)]*2)

    while sorted(a) == sorted(b):
        for i,j in enumerate(sort):
                ai = a.index(j)
                bi = b.index(j)
                abovea = a[:ai]
                belowb = b[bi:]
                receiving = find_2(counter(belowb + abovea)) #row
                for row_ele in receiving:
                    sparse[i][sort.index(row_ele)] = 1
                belowa = a[ai:]
                aboveb = b[:bi]
                giving = find_2(counter(belowa + aboveb)) #column
                for col_ele in giving:
                    sparse[:,i][sort.index(col_ele)] = 1
         break
    return sparse

It takes input of a & b like in the example.
First we want to make sure that we have the same participants in lists a and b.
We iterate through the list of participants and find the participants below participant j in list a. Then we get the participants above participant j in list b.
We then join the lists together and find which participants occur twice in the amalgamated list. The participants occurring twice are the ones who have over taken participant j and hence j's column in the sparse matrix will have 1 in place to signify that.
This process is then done for those participants above participant j and subsequently where j is to receive a 1 from that participant (i.e. the row numeral).
Any other queries feel free to ask!
Mission Accomplished.


Bee packages consist of 3 pounds of worker bees and a random queen. As they contain no eggs, comb or larvae, it takes 21 days for the first new bee to be produced from the colony. As such the colony is very vulnerable during this time. Feeding is one of the only variables over which the keeper has utmost control.
Until flowers are blooming and nectar is flowing, the new installation of packaged bees needs to be fed. Like everything else in beekeeping, there is not an agreed upon recipe for syrup. Many sources state that feeding a 2:1 sugar to water syrup in the spring encourages brood production. Others state that 1:1 syrup simulates nectar flow telling the hive it is spring which encourages brood production anyway.
I'd leave it to the employees of the beekeeping shop to cast the deciding vote when I picked up my bees. Guess what? The owner said 2:1 and one of the teachers said many books are now recommending 1:1.
That reminded me that it doesn't matter and we love to overanalyze. As long as the bees are getting nourishment and hydration, any further micro-optimization would see slight differences if any in hive health that would not justify the increase of stress in planning. So I designed my recipe to be easy. Really easy.
Syrup leaves a sticky residue that is almost impossible to clean on anything it touches. Therefore this recipe is designed so the only tools that touch the syrup are the storage container and the stirrer. Needless to say, do any mixing and pouring outside!
You'll see that my recipe has a ratio of 1 : 1.5625, nicely down the middle of the road. It also uses Honey-B-Healthy which is just an essential oil mixture that can be easily replicated at home. I'll post on that in the future.
Stove and pot to heat water.
Pour in some of the sugar.
Place lid on bucket and be careful not to spill the sticky syrup on anything!
I have 2 top feeders that contain a capacity of 2 gallons. This recipe fills both of them to the brim. On the first night after installing the package, each colony had consumed half of their initial feeding. Therefore I am comfortable stating that this recipe will be enough to feed a single colony for 4 days during establishment, and much much longer after the bees have restored their energy levels after the traumatic travel experience. How you feed it to the bees determines how often you'll have to fill your feeder!
You would likely be able to cut down on the stirring required by dissolving the sugar into the water being warmed in the pots on the stove. However this brings this messy, sticky process inside and greatly increases the cleanup opposed to when the pots only touch water. I prefer keeping everything outside even if it means I must extensively stir.
New beekeepers, I hope you benefit from this. It is very easy to start a colony! This syrup takes less than 10 minutes, has no cleanup, uses exactly 1 bag of sugar, maximizes the space in a 5 gallon bucket and is mixed right in its storage container.
I'll post an essential oil recipe in the future! Stay tuned.

Jesus Christ, the omnipotent Son of God, delights to help the helpless, and manifests His mercy to those who are willing to be helped. He who thus overrules the powers of nature on behalf of trusting souls can be no other than the Son of God, in whom the fullness of the Godhead dwells.
10 ¶ The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
32 ¶ There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
36 ¶ But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
39 ¶ Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
An interval of some months lies between the previous chapter and this, in which many of the incidents of our Lord's Galilean life took place. John does not touch on them, because they had been described in the Synoptic Gospels, and because he wished to concentrate all his force on the great conflict which our Lord waged in Jerusalem, the stronghold of Jewish prejudice. He also chose the incidents which led to our Lord's discourses, and served as the text of his words.
The pool of Bethesda had medicinal properties. It was an intermittent spring. There must have been something in this man who lay at its brink which specially attracted Jesus. He saw that he had faith to be healed, and therefore made a direct challenge to the will of the sufferer. As soon as the appeal was made, he opened his heart to Christ's power. Through his expectant faith new energy poured into his being.
John 5:20—The Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things that Himself doeth.
 Heaven stands open to me, my Lord, in these deep and holy words. Through the open door I see the source of the golden light that shone around thy earthly life, and detect the secret of the music that ever sounded around thy path, as the music of the golden bells when Aaron passed to and fro.
The Father was ever showing Thee what He was doing in the unseen and eternal depths. Indeed, it seemed that Thou wert more occupied in beholding the things which were unseen than those which were seen. Thine eye was ever on the dial-plate of eternity, and thine ear attent to the note of the tide on its shore. Thou didst nothing that was not in the pattern shown Thee on the mount of fellowship; but whatever was wrought there Thou didst here. Teach me to live like this.
