In 2016, there were 50 ocelots left in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. The species used to roam as far north as Arkansas and as far east as Florida, but now all that remains is a small population in Texas' Lower Rio Grande Valley, a region with breathtaking biodiversity and a host of threats. The Lower Rio Grande valley is in a period of massive expansion and development. Hidalgo County is one of the 12 fastest growing counties in all of Texas, and there is a lot of pressure to develop liquid natural gas resources, build wind farms, and permit SpaceX to build a launch site, not to mention the proposed border wall and its associated buffer zone. All these threats aligned against conservation in the region make the task seem daunting, but due to the near-extinct population of ocelots, it is imperative to act now.
American Forests has partnered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Friends of the Wildlife Corridor, and other conservation partners to replant the native Texas thornscrub that is necessary for the ocelot's survival.
"To survive in the U.S., this beautiful and furtive creature needs the thick native south Texas thornscrub, a diverse combination of trees and shrubs that also supports more than 530 species of birds and about 40% of all North American butterfly species (330+ species), as well as a growing eco-tourism economy that travels here to view wildlife," said Sharon Slagle, President of Friends of the Wildlife Corridor.
Unfortunately, according to Friends of the Wildlife Corridor, almost 97% of the native thornscrub has been lost to development. It isn't too late to bring the ocelot back, but efforts take time and money.
For each planting effort, the Fish and Wildlife Service survey the plot, identify around 80 species of plants, and decide in what proportion they should be planted. After the species are identified, seeds are gathered locally and then grown as saplings in USFWS nurseries before finally being planted. The Lower Rio Grande Valley's nursery produces an estimated 80,000 seedlings each year which can then be planted around the valley according to the initial surveys.
Understandably, the process of preparation and planting involves intensive planning and can be costly.

Of course, efforts like these only occur with the cooperation and generosity of private land-owners. A particular site for action recently is the Yturria tract, named after the Yturria family. With private landowners pledging to help restore the native thornscrub, the Fish and Wildlife Service can add more to the refuge than ever before.
"Forward-thinking ranchers, such as Dr. Yturria, are also setting aside land and establishing conservation easements that will protect habitat long into the future," said Slagle.
The Yturria tract is a start, and the more that can be done to protect this environment and its inhabitants, the better.
"We must keep working to expand the Reforestation and Restoration Program and the LRGV Learning Landscapes Program to encourage conservation easements and other mechanisms for protecting existing habitat from future development, and to educate the local population – particularly the youth – about the importance of the habitat and our responsibility to protect as well as enjoy it," said Slagle.
With nearly 2,000,000 trees planted in partnership with American Forests, that protection is well underway.
The plastic tubes may seem out of place, but they protect the seedlings and help conserve water. This local doesn't seem to mind them too much! Credit: Friends of the Wildlife Corridor.

Following the release of his debut single, Swiss artist Pyrame releases \'Platonic\' and reveals video out via HIFI/LOFI Records.
PYRAME is the musical project of David Naville – traveller and cosmic poet from Berlin. Influenced by French pop, catchy indietronica beats and a hint of disco, David uses his poetic lyrics to articulate his feelings about love, affection, relationships and liberation.
The artist's new single 'Platonic' is the prequel to 'Where Are We Now?', depicting a relationship still in its infancy – uncomplicated and exciting. This youthful bliss is captured in the delivery of Franz Matthews' (Moon Wave) vocals and the lush electronic percussion – driving forward the gentle indie melody.
The accompanying video was shot across the banlieues of Paris on the southeast side of the French capital. PYRAME poses as the outside observer and narrator, processing the fact that the couple can\'t seem to find each other as the video unfolds. Encounters that run into emptiness and recur too often make the idea of a common destiny absurd, and so things remain one thing above all else: platonic.
PYRAME\'s affinity for sociological and philosophical problems is ever present in his music, and further emphasised in the imagery, paying homage to ancient Greek art.
PYRAME has received early plaudits from tastemakers such as Nothing But Hope And Passion, Indie Berlin, Decoded Magazine, and Amy Lame on BBC 6 Music – support that will only grow with his new single and subsequent EP this summer.

Games 10 Best Games like Second Life
10 Best Games like Second Life
Nagama Ansari
It is so hard to replicate or make games like Second Life but still, there are some option where you can find the similarities in terms of theme and gameplay. Second Life is basically a virtual world where there are a lot of sources of entertainment and fun to have.
If you are someone who is done with playing stereotypical games then I think you should move to these online MMORPG and virtual world games. These are way more fun and way diverse than the regular games that you play and of course the connecting with other player element is something which is kind of rare too.
1. IMVU
Website: http://www.imvu.com/
The first one in this list of games like second life is IMVU. You must have earlier played or utilizes this platform as this one is quite popular. This is an online virtual world or metaverse as they say which was launched in 2004.
With more than 4 million registered users on its platform, IMVU is the biggest online community which servers for various purposes to people.
So, as a user what you are supposed to do here is to create a 3D avatar of yourself to meet new people. You can chat with them, play games and create your own virtual world on it. It also has the largest virtual good catalog too with its own virtual currency and credit system.
You can also use actual currency to purchase the promo credits in the game too. There are a lot of customization features available for the users here on whose basis they can create their world and personalize it. It is actually kind of fun to use this platform and make sure that you use your actual currency wisely here.
2. Entropia Universe
Website: http://www.entropiauniverse.com/
Entropia Universe is a type of massively multiplayer online virtual universe which is just like the other games like Second Life. It is developed by MindArk and released in 2003. Based on the theme of the collaborative approach, this game can help you to play together with so many people around the world at the same time.
This universe has some really amazing and interesting role playing games in it which keeps the users entertained throughout.
This is a completely different virtual world in its own and even has in-game currency too. The micropayment business model involved in the game allows you to buy various services in it through the game currency which you have earned. In fact, these virtual items in the game has real currency value too.
Apart from it, there is a first person shooter game in it too which is quite engaging to be played and it can be played for free too. In fact, there is no account creation fee too in this universe as well. These prominent features makes it one of the games similar to Second Life effectively.
3. Planet Calypso
Website: https://www.planetcalypso.com/
Planet Calypso is seriously as intriguing as it sounds and trust me you are gonna love this space for sure. Just like the others, it is also a virtual world whose main element is gaming. Of course, there are in-game purchases and trading options too but the games are so entertaining that you will forget everything else.
What you have to do here is just simply create a profile of your own which is absolutely free and then start colonizing a world of your own.
In fact, the game works in a great 3D mode which makes everything ultra-cool. While creating an account, you have the options to choose from various professions like explorer, entrepreneur and various others.
The other elements of the game includes, trading, in-game purchases, crafting, hunting, investing and others. Every feature of this game completely belongs to the category of games like Second Life and it is seriously quite engaging.
There are so many things to explore in this virtual world and you can use the real cash here too.
4. Blue Mars
Website: http://www.bluemars.com/
The 3D environment of a game always makes thing extra interesting and Blue Mars is one such game in this list of games like Second Life. Blue Mars was released in 2009 and it is developed by Avatar Reality. The game/universe utilizes CryEngine 2 and currently working in the open Beta form.
This is a type of massively multiplayer online virtual platform which allows you to indulge in various activities here like games, business, world creation, shops, simulation etc.
With so many opportunities at one place, Blue Mars makes a great option for non-stop entertainment and it is also quite addictive too. The entire system is divided into four main parts which are Sandbox editor SDK suite, website, host server and client software.
Because of the striking similarity with Second Life like games, Blue Mars instantly hit it off and became so popular especially amongst the teens. The game here takes place in 2177 on Mars and the rest of the game is driven through simulation and exploration in form of avatars. The content is user created and hence customization is possible.
5. The Sims
Website: http://www.thesims.com/
You got to be kidding me if you have no clue about this amazing game called The Sims. This is not just a game but an entire series of amazing life simulation games which is developed by Maxis and The Sims Studio. You won't believe but there have been more than 200 million copies of this game sold till now.
Being the virtual world like the rest of the games like Second Life makes it highly curated amongst the users and gamers around the world.
The games which are available in this world are mainly Sandbox ones and so there is no definitive goals in them. As they are open-ended, it makes them even more interesting for people who love such games. There are still some of the reforms made which makes some of the games restrictive and goal oriented too.
You as a player is supposed to create the character called Sims and place them in their respective houses. This is just like people live their life and hence you can govern their moods and works in the game easily. Everything takes place in SimCity and there are in-game purchases available too.
6. vSide
Website: https://www.vside.com/
vSide is a 3D virtual world which is created by ExitReality and released in 2006. The game utilizes Torque Game Engine and I would have to say, it is pretty impressive too. So, to get started with it, you need to become a vSiders who are the users of this game.
The main highlight of this virtual world which makes it similar to the rest of the games like Second Life is that it is quite social. This means you can interact with other users through social networking inside it.
The other elements of Vside are celebrity entertainment, virtual shopping, simulation, self-expression etc. The main focus of this game remains on music, fashion and entertainment. It primarily targets the teenage generation and works in real time mode.
What you are going to like here the most is that you can host your own events in this world and invite your friends to join in. You get to customize your character too with over 5 million clothing combinations available here and that it also for free. I really found this game to be the most versatile amongst all.
7. Twinity
Website: http://www.twinity.com/
Developed by Metaversum GmbH, Twinity is also a type of 3D online virtual world just like the rest of the games like Second Life here. It was released in 2008 and the theme of this world is created by the historic versions of the real time cities right now.
Being so unique in its version and themes, Twinity instantly got great popularity and soon garnered with millions of users.
The users here are called Twinizens who are supposed to explore the exact replicas of the cities created here. You can see cities like Berlin, Singapore, New York, London and Miami. This is a completely free to play model which means there are no charges involved here.
Twinity has gone through a lot of transformation under which they people also launched the fantasy world here too. This makes it more similar to Second Life game in terms of vivid concept and more open approach.
8. Webkinz
Website: http://www.webkinz.com/
Webkinz is slightly different from the rest of the mentions here in the list of games like Second Life. But trust me it is also quite productive and entertaining too. This is basically intended for the kids only and Webkinz are known as the stuffed animals which can be played on this platform.
This is created by Ganz and released in 2005. This is also a virtual world but targets kids of age 3 to 10 mainly.
You can also call this game to be one of the best Second Life game alternatives for kids only. In the Webkinz world you have the option to play with whichever pet you want. These are the replicas of the soft toy and for this you need to scan the bar code first.
You need to adopt the pet in this world and then take care of him. If you want then you can go for the free version too but it is limited to precise access only. Kids around the world love this virtual world and it also teaches them some really great things too.
9. InWorldz
Website: https://inworldz.com/
InWorldz is an open source, user created virtual world and hence thankfully it is free to explore this world and be a part of it. Of course, there are some in-game purchase elements too but that is something which we will discuss later on.
Now, the main part of this world is to explore various regions and get to know about the rules out here slowly.
You need to create an avatar of yours here to enter this world. Now it involves various tasks like interacting with other avatars, discover your talents, shop from here, create your own space, and customize characters and many more.
This may not be as popular as the rest of the games like Second Life here but that does not make it any less interesting and entertaining and you should definitely try it out.
10. Habbo
Website: https://www.habbo.com/
And the last one in this list of Second Life alternative games is Habbo Hotel or simply Habbo. This is basically a social networking service more than being a virtual world. But of course it does contain all the features of online virtual universe which makes it quite popular and entertaining too.
Habbo started in 2000 and since then it has grabbed more than 200 million registered users on its site. It mostly targets the young adult audience only.
So, what you need to do here is to create your own Habbo characters to get started in this world which is absolutely free. Later on, it involves elements and tasks like designing hotel rooms, meet new friends, talking and interacting with other players, play various games and look after pets.
There are other concepts of this game too which makes it similar to the rest of the games like Second Life here.
There are many other games like Second Life which are so fun to play and explore. And the common part amongst all the game is that you need to establish an account/profile of yours on each platform to get started with.
I am sure it will take you a while to fully discover all the features of these games but once you will then it is going to be so much fun. Of course, they are strictly adult games so don't mess with the rules and enjoy these games fully with amazing features and interactive approach.

Q: Problem with setting ConnectorGroupId with Set-AzureADApplicationProxyApplication My code is below:
$aadapConnectorGroups=Get-AzureADApplicationProxyConnectorGroup -Top 100000

foreach ($item in $aadapConnectorGroups)
 {

   If ($item.ConnectorGroupType -eq "applicationProxy" -And $item.Name -eq $ConnectorGroupIdName)
    {

         New-AzureADApplicationProxyApplication `
        -DisplayName  $ApplicationName `
        -ExternalUrl $ExternalUrl `
        -InternalUrl $InternalUrl `
        -IsHttpOnlyCookieEnabled $isHttpOnlyCookieEnabled `
        -ApplicationServerTimeout $applicationServerTimeout `
        -IsPersistentCookieEnabled $isPersistentCookieEnabled `
        -ConnectorGroupId $item.ObjectID

    }

 }

I am having below error while i try to set the ConnectorGroupId with Set-AzureADApplicationProxyApplication.
Error occurred while executing SetApplicationProxyApplication Code:
Request_ResourceNotFound Message: Resource
'xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx' does not exist or one of its queried
reference-property objects are not present.

I get the same error while i create a  create new Azure AD Application Proxy Application with New-AzureADApplicationProxyApplication.
When i try the default ConnectorGroupId, it works perfectly well. So i guess that the problem is with the ConnectorGroup that i have recently created. However, on the portal, i see my new ConnectorGroup created and works well.
With Get-AzureADApplicationProxyConnectorGroup command, i can see my new ConnectorGroup also.
I can assign it to a AzureADApplicationProxyApplication from the portal. So logically, it should be working from the cli as well.
Do you have any idea why i have this error?
EDIT:
I have also tried the below command:
 Set-AzureADApplicationProxyApplication -ObjectId $item2.ObjectID
 -ConnectorGroupId $item.ObjectID -Verbose

Although, it returned success message, it didn't change the ConnectorGroupId of the application. I have verified from the portal and cli.

A: Error occurred while executing SetApplicationProxyApplication Code:
Request_ResourceNotFound Message: Resource
'xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx' does not exist or one of its queried
reference-property objects are not present.

This error means the -ObjectId doesn't exist, not the -ConnectorGroupId.
And when you create a new Azure AD Application Proxy Application with New-AzureADApplicationProxyApplication, you don't need to specify the -ObjectId, so I'm not sure why you get this error.
You need to specify the correct object id:
New-AzureADApplicationProxyApplication -DisplayName "Finance Tracker10" -ExternalUrl $externalUrl -InternalUrl $internalUrl -ConnectorGroupId $connectorGroupId

$app = Get-AzureADApplication -Filter "DisplayName eq 'Finance Tracker10'"

Set-AzureADApplicationProxyApplication -ObjectId $app.ObjectId -ConnectorGroupId $newConnectorGroupId -ExternalUrl $newExternalUrl -InternalUrl $newInternalUrl1

Amidst the increased competition and growing hospitality industry in Manchester, The Lowry Hotel is upping the 'luxury stakes' once again. Manchester's premier five-star hotel, The Lowry Hotel, has revealed the first look at its newly renovated Presidential Suite, designed by Goddard Littlefair and the largest both currently available or planned in the city at 2,228 square feet1.
The penthouse suite, famous for its VIP guests, will cost £4,000 per night. The renovations totalled £700,000 and include a complete reconfiguration and redesign of the space, an enlarged dressing room and a new bespoke marble bathroom. The suite also includes a fully equipped kitchen, large bathroom with a double steam shower and free-standing bath, super king size bedroom, a walk-in dressing room and lounge plus a dining room for up to eight people. There is also an additional second bedroom and with adjoining bathroom.
The floor to ceiling windows offer views across the river Irwell and Manchester's skyline, and the room also comes with a mini grand piano, two in-room bars, two smart TVs and an Amazon Alexa. As well as complimentary valet, luggage management, personalised welcome drinks and in-suite check in, guests can take advantage of a butler, on-site hairdresser, endless beauty treatments, Tesla hire, private chef or personal trainer whilst staying in the luxury suite.
In homage to the hotel's namesake, L.S Lowry, a selection of art has also been chosen for the room by ARTIQ. Kate Terres, Head of Operations at ARTIQ, commented: "The collection at the Lowry presented an exciting opportunity for us, because it is rare for hotels to be named after celebrated artists. In curating the collection with Goddard Littlefair, ARTIQ pulled specifically on L.S.
Lowry's recognisable palette of charcoals and dark reds against pale smoky backdrops. Alongside these distinctive tonal elements, the curation draws on the shapes evoked by Manchester's solid industrial architecture of the twentieth and twenty-first century – examples of which can be viewed from the Presidential Suite - as well as heavily abstracted figures that draw on Lowry's matchstick figures.
"The collection is comprised of painting, sculpture, photography and print, with an emphasis on varied and rich textures that range from highly polished stainless steel – representing the industrial subject – to thickly modelled paintings incorporating found elements. Examples of large format photography depicting an abstracted industrial narrative contrast with the delicacy of the works by artist Kelly M. O'Brien.
The luxury Lowry Hotel also boasts six Riverside suites, an additional 164 guest bedrooms, a spa, bar and The River Restaurant.

Q: What is the point in sending client_id and client_secret in SPAs to auth server? I am trying to understand some concepts in oauth and openid connect. To provide some context, let's say I am building a SPA (single page application) that talks to a bunch of microservices. A user needs to authenticate themselves (through the application) before they can access any data and the user will authenticate themselves on a trusted site.
Looking at oauth 2 and some of the suggested flows, Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant seems to be a fitting candidate.
 +----------+
 | Resource |
 |  Owner   |
 |          |
 +----------+
      v
      |    Resource Owner
     (A) Password Credentials
      |
      v
 +---------+                                  +---------------+
 |         |>--(B)---- Resource Owner ------->|               |
 |         |         Password Credentials     | Authorization |
 | Client  |                                  |     Server    |
 |         |<--(C)---- Access Token ---------<|               |
 |         |    (w/ Optional Refresh Token)   |               |
 +---------+                                  +---------------+

Some articles I have read say you should send your client_id and client_secret to the authorization server with your payload (username, password ... etc) when requesting authorization. My question is, does this hold for SPA? Can't someone just inspect your javascript and see what your client_id and client_secret? Is there any point in sending this information?

A: You're correct, a SPA on it's own cannot keep secrets or perform client authentication so there is no point in sending the client_secret.
In the OAuth2 world these clients are known as public clients or non-confidential clients in opposition to confidential clients which are able to perform client authentication, for example, a traditional server-side application that could keep a client secret in a secure way on the server-side.
Performing client authentication is not mandatory, however, you'll lose the ability to perform decisions based on knowing for sure the client identity.

A: When using OpenID Connect, using Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant should in my opinion always be a last resort. You generally don't want to encourage people to provide their credentials to anything but the Authorization server which they trust.
For a SPA you usually go for the Implicit flow. In this flow the user enters their details on the Authorization server as desired, but this server just returns a valid access token directly instead of an authorization token (which requires a client id to change into an access token)
See for instance this document about the various flows: https://www.scottbrady91.com/OpenID-Connect/OpenID-Connect-Flows
Edit
To answer your question from the comments: In OpenID Connect you must always register the redirect uri with the authorization server as part of the client registration process. It's possible to allow for more than one redirect uri, but they must/should always be specified as part of the client configuration.
Imagine what would happen if the client, when sending the user to the authentication server, could just tell it to send the token (which is sensitive as it allows you to perform actions on the user's behalf) to any address it wants. This would allow a malicious site to snoop access tokens and do bad things.
I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, but I can imagine that if the Authorization Server is managed by you, you could add valid redirect URIs to the client configuration as part of the registration process.
The steps would then be (if I understand you correctly)

Alabama football tickets have delivered back-to-back BCS National Championships. With Nick Saban at the helm, there's no reason to believe 2013 Crimson Tide tickets won't treat Alabama fans to a third straight national title.
Saban has built one of college football's all-time greatest dynasties in his seven seasons at Alabama. The Crimson Tide has become the game's elite program, one that every other team in the nation is looking up at.
Quarterback A.J. McCarron returns for his senior season and is one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy. This will be his third season orchestrating the Crimson Tide attack, which has the potential to be one of Saban's most potent offenses. McCarron has a plethora of weapons at his disposal, including wide outs Amari Cooper, Kevin Norwood and Kenny Bell. He'll be joined in the backfield by electric running back T.J. Yeldon, giving Alabama a balanced attack that opposing defenses will be hard pressed to handle.
Saban's teams always thrive on defense and that will again be the case this season. The Tide defense will be bolstered by linebacker C.J. Mosely, defensive MVP of the BCS National Championship Game. Strong safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is the next great Crimson Tide defensive back and has NFL teams drooling over his next-level potential.
As you can see, Alabama football tickets have all the ingredients required to make a run at a historic third straight BCS National Championship, something that's never been accomplished before.
The Crimson Tide is once again the favorites to win it all, but they'll have to navigate through a difficult schedule that includes a challenging season-opener against Virginia Tech. But the Crimson Tide tickets that are generating the early buzz for Week 3, when Alabama travels to College Station to face Texas A&M. The Aggies, of course, upset the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa last season.
So make plans now to buy Alabama tickets for what almost certainly will be another historic season in Tuscaloosa. Roll Tide!

SOTTR's Ix Chel and Chak Chel
Codex Note: There are four codices. They all but one are so named for the cities they reside. The Dresden Codex, Paris Codex and Madrid Codex. The other one is of disputed authenticity and its name is the Grolier Codex found in a highland cave in the Chiapas area of Mexico. All of these codexes minus the Grolier where used in reference to the goddess Ix Chel in the article.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider has many exciting ancient elements woven throughout. One such interesting theme is the box of Ix Chel the central theme of the entire game and quite possibly the big picture of Shadow concerning the Maya world the plot is attached. Did you know that Ix Chel was taken directly from Maya culture and myth? In fact, the headdress that Lara wears towards the end of the game has a crescent moon on it and a coiled snake that represents Ix Chel. In simplest terms, Ix Chel was a Moon goddess, oh but there is more. There are several aspects of this goddess. They are designated as Goddess I and Goddess O. Lets explore the meaning of these and the connection to the game a bit.
But First!
Another item that smacks hard about the location from SOTTR is Cozumel. I have been there several times, and did you know that there is a shrine dedicated to Ix Chel on Cozumel? This connection in the game is no surprise due to Cozumel being a huge connection with the goddess in Maya history and belief. Down through the ages Cozumel has been a hub for the worship of Ix Chel and on a ruin site named San Gervasio, you can find a temple dedicated to Ix Chel. The ancient site played host to pre-Columbian women in pilgrimage coming to worship the goddess through offerings from far-reaching areas of the Maya world. They attempted at least once but hoped for twice. Once when young and the other when old.
You can watch the video below and see a great flyover by a drone of the sacred temple of Ix Chel. The island of Cozumel is rich in the goddess of the moon in belief and Maya folklore.
The archaeological site of San Gervasio is located in the northern region of the island of Cozumel just off the northeastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. The Maya name given to the island was 'Tantun Cuzamil" that name means Flat Rock in the place of the Swallows The bishop of Yucatán, Diego de Landa, wrote in 1549 that the Maya "held Cozumel in the same veneration as we have for pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Rome, and so they used to go to visit and offer presents there, as we do to holy places; and if they did not go themselves, they always sent their offerings."
Though there are other structures on the site, the one I will explore a bit is the Ix Chel temple.
Ka'an Nah
Ka'an Nah means Tall House and it certainly is the tallest structure at the site. It was built during the Post-Classic era (1200-1650 AD) It is located West of the central plaza.
The temple dedicated to Ix Chel is on the top. In 1552 Francisco Lopez de Gomara wrote about this room at the top of the structure saying inside was an idol that was hollow and large enough for a priest to hide. He entered through a secretive door on its side and spoke to the people as the god it represented. Also, In 1618, Diego Lopez de Cogolludo wrote about how the statue was venerated through sacrifices of birds, dogs and even humans.
Cozumel has a rich history that dates back to 100 B.C. Being one of the most significant ports of call in the Maya world due to its enormous trade in honey as well as the pilgrimage site for Ix Chel. There was a surge in population on the island in 800 AD that ended in the 15th century with the appearance of the Spanish conquistadores. Though Cortez found the Maya on the island friendly and left a letter to the fact for the next expedition to arrive it was ill-fated. The expedition led by Panfilo de Narvaez the following year brought with it smallpox and that killed the population on the entire island. The name of the archaeological site comes from a cattle rancher by the name of Gervasio Novelo from the 19th century.
Side Note: After you have played Shadow of the Tomb Raider and come here there is a better understanding of Ix Chel's function. It brings the goddess interpretation from the game into a bigger light and how the inspiration of her brought the game plot into a richer realm. I was on Cozumel earlier this year once again a couple months after The Day of the Dead celebration. Of course, it is a revenue turner for merchants and the stores were filled with skulls and what not about the celebration honouring the dead. There were also stores that sold figures of Ix Chel and you will see a lot more when you explore the ruins farther from town. Cozumel is a fascinating island and holds memories for me and my family as well.
The goddess Ix Chel
Ix Chel is, according to years of research is the Maya moon goddess, and has three forms. These forms are maiden, mother and crone. She is connected to fertility, medicine, reproduction, healing, death and destruction to name a few. Her name meaning is "Lady Rainbow", she is also referred to as "She of the Pale Face", possibly a reference to the surface of the moon as seen from the sky. There is a folklore story explaining that name, and I shall get into that later.
Connection in the game to cenotes
Spanish colonial reports that the Maya believed the moon goddess crossed the sky at night, and during the day she resided in the cenotes. When the moon began to disappear or wane, the Maya made journeys to the shrine on Cozumel. Cenotes have a connection to other Maya gods as well. The discovery of where the Ix Chel box resides is in the section of the game known as Cenote. Gee, I wonder why?
SOTTR's Chak Chel and Ix Chel
Ix Chel has three identities. One is a young maiden, another is a wife and the other is an aged hag of a woman. Some become confused for in archaeology they are denoted by goddess I and goddess O. Goddess I "the youthful maiden form" wears the snake on her head, and it is a sign of healing. Also known as goddess I is "the mother form of this goddess" she does not wear the snake; however, goddess O "the old crone form" does wear the snake on her head.
However, these identities were compiled largely by archaeological studies through the codices and other sources. They did this using iconography, language history as well as historical documentation. There is a debate among the Mayanist community that they may have combined two different female Maya gods into the moon goddess. However, this is what we know now.
Dresden Codex of young Ix Chel Goddess I
Maiden form
As a young maiden, she wears the coiled snake headdress. Referred to as Goddess I in the codices, and the young moon goddess. The coiled snake on her head indicates her influences of healing and instinctual knowledge. It also speaks of her skills in medicine and midwifery, and her capacity to control earthly forces. Also, her connection to the moon is through the word glyph sak the Maya word for white that appears in her headdress that denotes the phases of the moon. Women would pray to her for a safe childbirth and pregnancy as well as the sex of their child.
It is reported that Ix Chel's name means "Lady Rainbow" The "Ix" indicates divine feminine, goddess and woman and "Chel" means rainbow. Another symbol associated with her is also the crescent moon.
More about Goddess I
Mother form
Now we have Ix Chel the mother goddess and she not only is named for being the moon goddess here in the codices, but she is given an additional name of Ixik Kab This name means "Lady Earth" I did say that her headdress did not have a snake in it as the other two forms do. This one has spindles and cotton, which associates her with weaving and quite possibly the dry season. It is believed that the snake is not present in her mother form due to her being busy as a wife and mother, so she has no time for healing skills. She is connected to weaving, motherhood, fertility and crops.
Maya folklore states that Ix Chel ran away from her abusive husband the sun god and hid in the moon where she rules in the night sky. Some see the image of her holding her pet rabbit, which represents fertility, in the moon at night and she is said to be watching over and guiding women and children through many things in their life.
Goddess O Chak Chel
Chak Chel or goddess O from the Dresden Codex
Old Crone Form
As goddess O Ix Chel is known as the old crone or grandmother Goddess O,
The codices name her as Chak Chel. Once again we see the coiled serpent on her head and she now holds the association of Grandmother Earth Goddess of the moon, rain, medicine and death. Maya codex depicts her as an old healer woman a midwife who also aids people in death.
Chak Chel – Ix Chel has other portrayals through the codices such as water goddess who is paired with the Maya rain god Chaak. She is said to be the wife of Maya creator god Itzamna as well as the destroyer. In her destroyer form, she is associated with death symbols. This is according to the codices.
The word "Chak" can mean red or even great. The Maya word "Chel' means rainbow or arch of heaven. So, the name Chak Chel could mean "red rainbow" or "Red Moon"
In her destroyer appearance, Chak Chel looks like a monster with sharp claws, and her skirt made of crossed bones. Her claws are symbolic of a jaguar and when you see her image pouring water from the clay pot as we see of her in many Maya art representations, she is sending for powerful storms such as a hurricane and flood.
However, her connection to the eclipse
In the Dresden Codex, Chak Chel is also depicted as the new moon ready to eclipse the sun. During the time of the new moon, there is an increased amount of eclipses and this scared the Maya, for they believed that the eclipse could destroy the world.
Also, remember Lara on Cozumel mentioning the Maya symbols? One was Ix Chel and on the flip side, she said Chak Chel the "New Moon" That is the association to the eclipse and the destroyer which fit together well in her destroyer form and what the Maya feared from the eclipse. They laced that into the game very well.
Note: rainbows are not viewed in the Maya world as a good thing as they are in western culture. They believed them to be evil. So, her name meaning "Lady rainbow" has a turbulent meaning behind it. Additionally, the headdress of the goddess is reflected here in this picture of Lara representing her with the coiled snake and crescent moons.

Tighter Dutch Control For Curacao Online Gambling Jurisdiction?
The lower house of the Dutch parliament voted in support of a motion this week that the national regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) should become more involved in questions around the operation of online gambling licensing and regulation on the Caribbean islands of Curaçao and St Maarten – both constituent countries of the Netherlands.
The motion was introduced by Dutch MPs Nine Kooiman and Jeroen van Wijngaarden despite earlier comments by the Junior Minister of Justice and Security Klaas Dijkhoff, who opined that monitoring the gambling sector is the autonomous business of Curaçao and St. Maarten, and that the home government cannot take unilateral actions regarding their decisions.
He did claim, however, that the KSA was "cooperating" with the Gaming Control Board on the islands.
Curaçao does not enjoy a good reputation in the international online player community, which largely sees it as a jurisdiction that communicates rarely and does little to support or assist players with complaints against its licensees.
InfoPowa readers will also recall that two Dutch MPs, Ronald Van Raak and Andre Bosman, have repeatedly and publically drawn attention to what they claim are questionable activities in the Curaçao licensing jurisdiction, urging the Dutch government to investigate and if necessary take action to resolve problems and halt alleged corruption.
They were met with a bland response from Dutch Minister of Kingdom Relations Ronald Plasterk, who disavowed responsibility for jurisdiction over illegal activities in Curaçao, and claimed that online casinos licensed by the island are not within the supervision of his Ministry.
Technically, only online casinos in Curaçao serving the Dutch market are administered to by the Netherlands Parliament, through the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice in the Hague. Since online casinos are global operations that serve beyond the Dutch market, Plasterk claims that these Curaçao casinos are not within the supervision of his Ministry.
The online gambling row is not the only one brewing between homeland and islands… Dutch MP Roelof van Laar recently raised environmental concerns over the manner in which the oil refinery on Curaçao is being operated, calling for a response on the lack of enforcement of environmental standards, unsound governance and human rights violations.
Following a motion by parliament, Minister Plasterk was tasked with insisting on a reduction of emissions within a period of three months. In consultation with Prime Minister Bernhard Whiteman and the Minister of Public Health, Environment and Nature Siegfried Victorina it was then decided to appoint two external experts for advice on refining and legislation.

Parafia Trójcy Przenajświętszej w Lutkówce – mariawicka parafia diecezji warszawsko-płockiej, Kościoła Starokatolickiego Mariawitów w RP.

Kościół parafialny pw. Trójcy Przenajświętszej znajduje się w Nosach-Poniatkach (w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie gruntów wsi Lutkówka), w gminie Mszczonów, w powiecie żyrardowskim, w województwie mazowieckim. Proboszcz nie mieszka na terenie parafii. Obecnie funkcję tę sprawuje kapł. Grzegorz Maria Dominik Miller, który dojeżdża z parafii Matki Boskiej Nieustającej Pomocy w Warszawie.

Około 300 m od kościoła już na terenie wsi Lutkówka przy drodze powiatowej Chudolipie-Osuchów znajduje się cmentarz parafialny.

Historia
Parafia w Lutkówce powstała w okresie największego rozkwitu mariawityzmu na terenie Mazowsza zachodniego. Po śmierci wieloletniego proboszcza kapł. Antoniego Marii Feliksa Woźniaka w 1987, obsługiwana była przez kapłanów z Płocka, najczęściej przez kapł. Marię Szczęsnego Żaczka i kapł. Marię Wawrzyńca Rostworowskiego. Utrzymanie zabytkowego, a przy tym unikalnego kościoła odbywa się nakładem pracy zarówno miejscowych, jak i warszawskich parafian, w tym młodzieży i ministrantów. W ciągu ostatnich lat wykonano liczne prace remontowe m.in. wymieniono więźbę dachową kościoła oraz samo pokrycie dachu. W latach 1997–2007 opiekę duszpasterską sprawował w parafii kapłan Stanisław Maria Łukasz Kaczorek.

Nabożeństwa
Eucharystia sprawowana jest w niewielkim, drewnianym kościółku pod wezwaniem Trójcy Przenajświętszej wybudowanym w 1906.
 Msze Święte niedzielne o 15:00 w pierwszą niedzielę miesiąca.
 Adoracja miesięczna przypada na 18. dzień każdego miesiąca, wspólne nabożeństwo odprawiane jest o godzinie 15:00
 Uroczystość parafialna w uroczystość Trójcy Przenajświętszej, jest to święto ruchome przypadające na niedzielę po Zesłaniu Ducha Świętego.

In our last post, I mentioned Tahoma's loopy handwriting, but we didn't give you a look at it. He wrote in a style that was more common in the 19th century than in the early 20th century when he lived. I was tempted to call it Spencerian, but it was fancier than that. Like so much of his life story, he embellished his writing.
We first saw it on the back of his paintings. Not on the front, because very early on he developed a specialty signature, and that is another whole story, which we tell in our book.
Don't forget, Quincy Tahoma: The Life and Legacy of a Navajo Artist will be available in the Spring of 2011.
But on the back of paintings, he would often write a dedication to the person receiving the painting. He gave away a lot of paintings to fortunate friends. And he would often add where he was when he painted it, so we have found references to "Santa Fe Indian School," the "Santa Fe Indian Hospital", "Tahoma of Santa Fe," Tahoma of Tuba City," and even "Scottsdale" on one. We never saw one that said City Jail or State Prison, although he painted there as well.
Since there was so little paper trail, and he was something of a drifter, we really did not expect to come up with correspondence, which is the mainstay of much biography. However, by the time we had talked to a hundred or so people and visited who knows how many history and art intsitutions, we had amassed a rather surprising number of things in Tahoma's own hand writing.
Not all of the Tahoma correspondence is about money. My favorites are the love notes and letters that former girlfriends shared with us. We interviewed those girlfriends and in the book we tell the story, as well as reproducing a hand-illustrated Christmas card and a page of a love letter.
Two other outstanding examples of Tahoma's handwriting showed up.
One had survived in New Mexico. David Brugge and his friend Jim Wilson took in Tahoma at their Albuquerque Indian store. David, who told us the story (and later wrote the Introduction to our biography of Tahoma), did not know if the ledger still existed. Tahoma made some entries in the hand-written ledger of sales of his paintings, and Charnell came in contact with the then-owner of the ledger, the stepson of Jim Wilson.
The second find completed the story of Tahoma's fancy penmanship. We were contacted by the owner of a sketchpad that belonged to Tahoma. An artist's sketchpad tells so much about how an artist works, and besides telling us how he created paintings, this one showed us that Quincy Tahoma created his fancy penmanship. He must have been taught to write in grade school, like all of us, but the artist in him was not satisfied to just follow the forms in the writing book at Santa Fe Indian School. He created his own gorgeous swirling "Q" and majestic "T" along with the lesser letters of the alphabet.
If you own a Tahoma painting, have you looked at the back of it to see if he wrote on the back? Have you ever discovered interesting stuff on the backs of paintings by other artists?

That we must eat to keep up our strength is a deep-seated belief in our society. When someone is sick, we bring a casserole. If someone dies, the family is overwhelmed with homemade dishes from well-meaning friends. But these are the times when we can benefit the most from limiting food intake.
Temporary unemployment of your mouth is actually a very good thing. Assimilation of nutrients and elimination of metabolic waste are two processes that take place in the body simultaneously. The energies of the body are at all times divided between assimilation and elimination.
The processes expelling waste and toxins from the body never stop for a moment, but they do slow down when food is consumed. Much blood is summoned to the digestive organs making digestion the most energy-draining function. When digestion is shut down, the body will mobilize all the available resources for rejuvenation. Not only the digestive organs, but also circulatory, respiratory, glandular, and the nervous systems are able to rest as well. During fasting, the body will devote every ounce of energy to healing.
But nothing can compare to fasting in aiding the elimination of waste from blood and tissues. Fasting gives the body a chance to eliminate stored poisons and heal internal wounds. During a fast, tumors, lumps, and diseased tissues of the body compete for nutrients with the functional organs and lose. They will be broken down to sustain the main organs. Waste and toxins are stored mostly in the fatty and connective tissues. As this fat gets used by the body, all toxins stored there get flushed into the blood. Anything the body cannot utilize as food must be expelled through the organs of excretion and elimination.
Fasting is not an extreme measure. It should be a part of your lifestyle. It is a necessary part of healthy living in your body, just as house cleaning is an essential chore in your dwelling. As you clean your house once a week, you should do the same for your body to give it an opportunity to get rid of the waste.
A weekly fast and raw foods will produce startling results on your face. Since salt gets eliminated first, fluid accumulation under the skin resolves itself spontaneously. The body will release excessive fluids that were retained in an effort to neutralize the salt.
During a fast, you can safely lose as much as 10 pounds or more in just a few days. Rapid elimination of table salt will produce the most visible improvement in your appearance and reverse the aging process. Raw food diet must precede your first 24-hour fast. For more information about the raw foods and fasting read Your Right to Beautiful and Quantum Eating.

A Memorandum of Agreement, signed last month, gave the go-ahead for the bilateral agreement with the University of Nagasaki, which was the first national university in Japan to establish an environmental faculty.
The Lancaster Environment Centre has led the development, the first university wide partnership with Japan, a leading country in fundamental scientific research. It will encourage staff and student exchanges and research collaboration between the universities.
A funded exchange programme for students interested in environmental science is being introduced this summer to inaugurate the initiative. Students from Lancaster University are being offered the opportunity to travel to Japan to carry out research and attend an international summer school at Nagasaki University, with living expenses paid by the Japanese government.
Dr Gabriela Toledo-Ortiz, a plant scientist from the Lancaster Environment Centre, said: "Japan boasts the third highest number of scientists, technicians, and engineers per capita in the world. Our vision at Lancaster is to work across disciplines, and societal and national boundaries, to address the major environmental challenges facing the world.
The two-month internships, starting in June, will involve students working on research projects, which will be jointly supervised by academics from Nagasaki and the Lancaster Environment Centre.
Four dissertation projects, spanning the natural and social sciences, are being offered covering: bio-waste recycling, coastal geology, the diet of the urban honey bee, and economic analysis of environmental and energy policy. Other, shorter research projects are also available.
Living and accommodation expenses will be covered by the Japanese Student Services Organisation (JASSO), with the successful applicants just having to fund the cost of their flights.
In August, the internees will join other students from across the world at Nagasaki's two week International Summer School for the Environment, which includes cultural and field visits as well as cross-disciplinary seminars and group work.
In return four undergraduate students from Nagasaki will participate in the Lancaster Environment Centre summer school in July.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for our students," said Gabriela. "Nagasaki University has expertise covering a broad range of subjects including ecology, volcanology, marine sciences and water and coastal management. It has unique research facilities in the nearby Unzen volcanic park and the coastal bay of Nagasaki prefecture.
"The students will have the chance to gain international research experience, while soaking up the culture of Japan and giving their CV a boost.
"The city of Nagasaki has been the 'open port to the West' since 1600 and is one of the friendliest places towards foreigners in Japan, with the country's biggest Christian population. Teaching on the Summer School is in English and a good percentage of the population speaks some English due to the American influence in the region since the end of the WWII.
It is hoped that the student exchange will become an annual scheme supported by UK-Japan bilateral funding, and that further student and staff exchanges, and research collaborations will develop.
Applications for the internships are open to any Lancaster University UK or EU student with an interest in environmental science, who are producing work at 2:1 level. To apply, or for more information, contact Gabriela on g.toledo-ortiz@lancaster.ac.uk. Closing date is 26 April 2019.

British Somaliland offers a heritage of the management of the British Somaliland Protectorate from the time while Somaliland first grew to become governable, following the defeat of Abdullah Hassan, to independence.
Describing the interaction among common imperial rules, and bigger realities and advancements in Somaliland, the point of interest of the publication is still at the mechanism in which the Protectorate was once operated. The regime that constructed used to be, in spite of everything, a hugely autocratic despotism, typically benign yet sometimes predatory. Independence, whilst it arrived, was once, on reflection, a tragedy. Somaliland used to be absorbed into Somalia and a governmental sort which ideal the stipulations of the Protectorate used to be dissolved into whatever very diverse. because the cave in of Somalia, re-emergent Somaliland seems to be trying to re-connect to a earlier remembered as whatever of a golden age.
Highly topical, as Somaliland is re-emerging, this booklet is a useful source for college kids and students of African heritage, Imperial background and British History.
Utilizing a cultural reviews method, this ebook explores how the Spanish colonization of North Africa keeps to hang-out Spain's efforts to articulate a countrywide identification that could accommodate either the country's variety, led to by means of immigration from its previous colonies, and the postnational calls for of its integration within the ecu Union.
Even if a lot has been written in regards to the behavior of the battle in South Africa, little or no has been written approximately the way it was once appeared at the international degree via powers either nice and small. This number of particularly commissioned essays seeks for the 1st time to place the Boer conflict (1899-1902) in its foreign context.
During this e-book we're given a special view of East Africa of the Nineteen Fifties; now not the stereotyped photo of flora and fauna safaris and jumping Masai, however the rising independence fight of a brand new African country from the point of view of a white police workplace, in an incredibly particular, completely readable, firsthand account of an extraordinary interval of modern background.
During this wide-ranging background of the African diaspora and slavery in Arabia within the 19th and early 20th centuries, Matthew S. Hopper examines the interconnected issues of enslavement, globalization, and empire and demanding situations formerly held conventions relating to center japanese slavery and British imperialism.
