Cunard unveils inside look of Queen Victoria
Following the recent Cunard announcement revealing Queen Victoria's $40 million refit in May, the luxury cruise line is unveiling the anticipated digital renderings showcasing new and refreshed features.
Scheduled for completion in June, just in time for summer, some of the many highlights include a new exquisite Lido Sun Deck for sun seekers as well as a stunning Winter Garden. The cruise line also offers an inside look at the Britannia Club Staterooms, Britannia Club Restaurant and five new luxurious Penthouse Suites.
"Queen Victoria's refit will not only offer our guests an additional 43 Britannia Club staterooms and a dedicated restaurant, but it will also enhance the guest experience in already-beloved spaces like the Lido Sun Deck, Winter Garden and pre-existing staterooms onboard," said Joshua Leibowitz, senior vice president, Cunard North America. "We've responded to our guests' insights to broaden our onboard offering by adding new bar concepts and large flat-screen TVs in all staterooms. The distinctively Cunard experience will continue with design inspiration from previous ships to offer a modern travel experience that guests can only experience on Cunard."
The ship will be taken out of service on May 5, 2017 to undergo the refit at the Fincantieri Shipyard in Palermo, Italy and is scheduled for completion on June 4, 2017. Queen Victoria, will then return to Southampton before embarking on its maiden four night voyage, visiting Amsterdam, Zeebrugge (Bruges), before returning to Southampton.

Gas Or Charcoal: Dishing On Popular Grilling Methods
Charcoal and gas grills each have their merits. It is up to consumers to decide which features reign supreme as they shop for new grills.
Any time of year has the potential to be grilling season. Grilling is not only a way to prepare meals; for many, it's also a passion.
"Barbecuing is no longer just a pastime, but an integral part of the North American lifestyle," said Jack Goldman, president and CEO, Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association. "We expect consumers' passion for flavorful food and entertaining their family and friends to continue to increase."
The HPBA's 2017 industry survey found that 70 percent of adults in the United States own a grill or smoker. Those numbers are even greater in Canada, where 80 percent of adults have a grill to call their own. Flavor, lifestyle and entertainment are the prime reasons people grill.
When it comes time to replace or upgrade a grill, the age-old question remains: Do I choose a charcoal- or gas-fueled grill? That decision can spark heated debate among grillmasters, but for many it may boil down to a number of factors.
Charcoal grills tend to be the less expensive than gas grills. The food and beverage trend reporter Chowhound indicates that a low-end grill can be purchased for around $25. However, deluxe charcoal kettles and other charcoal alternatives tend to be considerably more expensive. The most popular gas grills may cost anywhere from $130 to $300. Those who prefer more options and high-end offerings can pay between $800 and $1,500.
High heat searing
When cooking expensive, well-marbled steaks or other dishes that benefit from high-heat searing, charcoal grills seem to outperform gas ones, at least according to the experts behind The Sweethome, a product recommendation site owned by The New York Times Company. That isn't to say gas counterparts can't come very close. And deploying a cast-iron pan on top of the grates can help concentrate the heat and allow the meat to cook in its own fat.
There is no doubt that gas grills are a marvel in regard to convenience, especially when they are directly tied into a home's propane or natural gas system. In such instances, one never has to worry about running out of gas. Gas fuel tends to be cheaper than charcoal and easier to clean, and some gas grills come with side burners that enable cooks to prepare side dishes right next to their grilled entrees.
For those who want to grill at home and on the go, then a charcoal grill is the right investment. A charcoal grill can be brought to a campsite or a park without going to great lengths.
Gas grills generally are easier to clean, and home chefs do not have to wrangle much ash or leftover coals once they're done cooking.

"Mail-order bride Eliza Cantrell is on her way to meet her intended groom and help him grow his general store business when her train is held up by robbers and she loses her dowry. She's further thwarted upon arriving in Salt Flatts only to find Axel, her groom, away on business.
Hoping a wife would push Axel to become a better business partner, William Stanton had encouraged him to seek a mail-order bride. With Axel gone, Will feels responsible for Eliza, so he finds her a place to stay and lets her help in the store.
Working together isn't what they'd expected, and when Axel is further delayed, neither can ignore the sparks that fly. But Eliza is meant for Axel and is set on a future with the store, while Will is biding time until he can afford medical school.
Their troubles are far from over when Axel returns to town, however, and soon both Will and Eliza must decide what they're willing to sacrifice to chase their dreams--or if God has a new dream in store for them both.

1. Have the Insects Honor.[edit | edit source]
Instructions and tips for earning the Insects honor can be found in the Nature chapter.
2. Do one of the following:a. Add to your collection 50 species of insects representing at least ten different orders. Labels must include collector's name, date, locality, order, family, and genus or species level name. (Carelessly mounted or broken specimens are not acceptable.)b.

There are several insects described in the Insects honor, though not nearly enough (currently) to satisfy this requirement. We recommend that you obtain a Field Guide to the insects common to your area. As with any nature identification task, the better approach is to find the insects first, and then identify them. This works far better than deciding which insects you want to find and then going out to look for them.
3. How do the special structures and habits of insects fit them so admirably for life?[edit | edit source]
Insects possess segmented bodies supported by an exoskeleton, a hard outer covering made mostly of chitin. The segments of the body are organized into three distinctive but interconnected units; a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. The head supports a pair of sensory antennae, a pair of compound eyes, one to three simple eyes and three sets of variously modified appendages that form the mouthparts. The thorax has six segmented legs and two or four wings (if present in the species). The abdomen has most of the digestive, respiratory, excretory and reproductive internal structures.
Many insects possess very sensitive and/or specialized organs of perception. Some insects such as bees can perceive ultraviolet wavelengths, or detect polarized light, while the antennae of male moths can detect the pheromones of female moths over distances of many kilometers.
Most insects lead short lives as adults, and rarely interact with one another except to mate, or compete for mates. A small number exhibit some form of parental care, where they will at least guard their eggs, and sometimes continue guarding their offspring until adulthood, and possibly even actively feeding them. Another simple form of parental care is to construct a nest (a burrow or an actual construction, either of which may be simple or complex), store provisions in it, and lay an egg upon those provisions. The adult does not contact the growing offspring, but it nonetheless does provide food.
4. Explain the life cycle of four insects in four different families.[edit | edit source]
Bees[edit | edit source]
Eggs are laid singly in a cell in a wax honeycomb, produced and shaped by the worker bees. Larvae are initially fed with royal jelly produced by worker bees, later switching to honey and pollen. The exception is a larva fed solely on royal jelly, which will develop into a queen bee. The larva undergoes several moltings before spinning a cocoon within the cell, and pupating. Drones hatch from unfertilized eggs, females (Queens and worker bees) hatch from fertilized eggs. The queen actually can choose to fertilize the egg she is laying, usually depending on what cell she is laying in.
Young worker bees clean the hive and feed the larvae. When their royal jelly producing glands begin to atrophy, they begin building comb cells. They progress to other within-colony tasks as they become older, such as receiving nectar and pollen from foragers, and guarding the hive. Later still, a worker takes her first orientation flights and finally leaves the hive and typically spends the remainder of its life as a forager.
Worker bees cooperate to find food and use a pattern of "dancing" (known as the bee dance or waggle dance) to communicate information regarding resources with each other; this dance varies from species to species, but all living species of Apis exhibit some form of the behavior. If the resources are very close to the hive, they may also exhibit a less specific dance commonly known as the "Round Dance".
Honey bees also perform tremble dances which recruit receiver bees to collect nectar from returning foragers .
Virgin queens go on mating flights away from their home colony, and mate with multiple drones before returning. The drones die in the act of mating.
Colonies are established not by solitary queens, as in most bees, but by groups known as "swarms", which consist of a mated queen and a large contingent of worker bees. This group moves en masse to a nest site that has been scouted by worker bees beforehand. Once they arrive, they immediately construct a new wax comb and begin to raise new worker brood. This type of nest founding is not seen in any other living bee genus, though there are several groups of Vespid wasps which also found new nests via swarming (sometimes including multiple queens). Also, stingless bees will start new nests with large numbers of worker bees, but the nest is constructed before a queen is escorted to the site, and this worker force is not a true "swarm".
Housefly[edit | edit source]
Adult housefly
Each female fly can lay over 9,000 eggs. The eggs are white and are about 1.2 mm in length. Within a day, larvae (maggots) hatch from the eggs; they live and feed in (usually dead and decaying) organic material, such as garbage or feces. They are pale-whitish, 3–9 mm long, thinner at the mouth end, and have no legs. They live at least one week. At the end of their third instar, the maggots crawl to a dry cool place and transform into pupae, colored reddish or brown and about 8 mm long. The adult flies then emerge from the pupae. (This whole cycle is known as complete metamorphosis.) The adults live from half a month to a month in the wild, or longer in benign laboratory conditions. After having emerged from the pupae, the flies cease to grow; small flies are not young flies, but are indeed the result of getting insufficient food during the larval stage.
Some 36 hours after having emerged from the pupa, the female is receptive for mating. The male mounts her from behind to inject sperm. Normally the female mates only once, storing the sperm to use it repeatedly for laying several sets of eggs.
Monarch Butterfly[edit | edit source]
The life cycle of a monarch includes a change of form called complete metamorphosis. The monarch goes through four radically different stages:
The eggs are laid by the females during spring and summer breeding months.
The eggs hatch, revealing worm-like larvae, the caterpillars. The caterpillars consume their egg cases, then feed on milkweed. During the caterpillar stage, monarchs store energy in the form of fat and nutrients to carry them through the non-feeding pupa stage.
In the pupa or chrysalis stage, the caterpillar spins a silk pad on a twig, leaf, etc., and hangs from this pad by its last pair of prolegs. It hangs upside down in the shape of a 'J', and then molts, leaving itself encased in an articulated green exoskeleton. At this point, hormonal changes occur, leading to the development of a butterfly (metamorphosis). The chrysalis darkens (actually becomes transparent) a day before it emerges, and its orange and black wings can be seen.
The mature butterfly emerges after about two pupal weeks and hangs from the split chrysalis for several hours until its wings are dry (often in the morning). Meanwhile fluids are pumped into the crinkled wings until they become full and stiff. Some of this orangey fluid (called meconium) drips from the wings. Finally (usually in the afternoon) the monarch spreads its wings, quivers them to be sure they are stiff, and then flies away, to feed on a variety of flowers, including milkweed flowers, red clover, and goldenrod.
Antlion[edit | edit source]
Antlion larvae
Antlion adult
The life cycle of the antlion begins with oviposition (egg-laying). The female antlion repeatedly taps the sand surface with the tip of her abdomen. She then inserts her abdomen into the sand and lays an egg. The antlion larva is a ferocious-appearing creature with a robust, fusiform body, a very plump abdomen, the thorax bearing three pairs of walking legs. The prothorax forms a slender mobile "neck" for the large, square, flattened head, which bears an enormous pair of sicklelike jaws with several sharp, hollow projections. The jaws are formed by the maxillae and mandibles, which in each pincer enclose a canal for injecting venom between them. Depending on species and where it lives, the larvae will either hide under leaves or pieces of wood, in cracks of rocks, or dig pits in sandy areas.
The pupal stage of the antlion is quiescent. The larva makes a globular cocoon of sand stuck together with fine silk spun from a slender spinneret at the posterior end of the body. These cocoons may be buried several centimeters deep in the sand. It remains there for one month, until the completion of the transformation into the sexually mature insect, which then emerges from the case, leaving the pupal integument behind, and climbs to the surface. After about 20 minutes the adult's wings are fully opened and it will fly off in search of a mate. The adult is considerably larger than the larva; they exhibit the greatest disparity in size between larva and adult of any type of holometabolous insects, by virtue of the adults having an extremely thin, flimsy exoskeleton - in other words, they have extremely low mass per unit of volume.
5. Name two kinds of social insects. How do they differ from nonsocial insects?[edit | edit source]
Social insects, such as the termites, ants and many bees and wasps, live together in large well-organized colonies that may be so tightly integrated and genetically similar that the colonies of some species are sometimes considered superorganisms.
The term eusocial was originally defined to include those organisms (originally, only invertebrates) that had certain features:
Reproductive division of labor (with or without sterile castes)
Overlapping generations
Cooperative care of young
The most familiar examples are insects such as ants, bees, and wasps (order Hymenoptera), as well as termites (order Isoptera), all with reproductive queens and more or less sterile workers and/or soldiers.
6. Name at least four insects that carry disease to man. Name at least one disease carried by each.[edit | edit source]
Housefly
Tsetse fly
Eastern Equine Encephalitis
Western Equine Encephalitis
La Crosse Encephalitis
Bubonic plague
7. Make one of the following[edit | edit source]
a. Aerial net[edit | edit source]
An aerial net can be made from some netting, a coat hanger, a broomstick, and some duct tape.
For netting it might be tempting to use pantyhose, but it is almost impossible to find pieces large enough to make a good net. Instead, use cheesecloth or material used for making a bridal veil (you can get that pretty cheaply at a fabric store). Sew the netting into a tube and close it at one end, and make a hem at the open end.
Unwind the coat hanger and form it into a circle with two prongs. Thread it through the hem at the opening of the netting. Attach the prongs on the end of the coat hanger wire to the broomstick with duct tape. If desired, you can also use hose clamps to hold the wire to the broomstick.
b. Sweeping net[edit | edit source]
It is used for sweeping along at ground level through an open field. It is made the same way as the aerial net described above, except that an old pillowcase should be used instead of netting.
c. Aquatic net[edit | edit source]
An aquatic net can be made by attaching a kitchen strainer to a broomstick with hose clamps. Unless you are using your very own strainer, get permission from its owner (and from the person who uses it the most)! You will quickly learn that using your mother's (or your wife's) kitchen strainer to catch bugs will not earn you any points with her!
To use the aquatic net, submerge it just beneath the surface of the water with the opening facing up. Wait until an aquatic insect swims over the opening, and then quickly lift.
8. Construct and use a trap for night-flying insects.[edit | edit source]
An easy way to trap night-flying insects is to suspend a white bedsheet vertically next to a light bulb. Be careful that the bulb does not touch the sheet, as this would be a fire hazard. If possible, use a light bulb that emits ultra-violet light (but be careful to not look at the lit bulb as it can cause eye damage). The insects will be attracted to the light and land on the sheet. They can be picked off by hand.
You can also suspend a light bulb over a pan filled with water and a few drops of dish soap. The dish soap breaks the surface tension on the water so that the insects sink and drown (rather than walking on the surface). Such a trap can be left overnight.
9. Do one of the following[edit | edit source]
a. Identify from pictures or from live insects one belonging in each of the following families[edit | edit source]
(1) Aquatic[edit | edit source]
The family Gerridae contains insects commonly known as water striders, water bugs, magic bugs, pond skaters, skaters, skimmers, water scooters, water skaters, water skeeters, water skimmers or water skippers. These are predatory insects which rely on surface tension to walk on top of water. They live on the surface of ponds, slow streams, marshes, and other quiet waters. They can move very quickly, up to 1.5 m/s.
(2) Leaf mining[edit | edit source]
The horse chestnut leaf miner
The horse chestnut leaf miner (Cameraria ohridella or Cameraria operculella) is a moth of the lepidopteran family Gracillariidae. The Horse Chestnut Leaf Miner was first observed in Macedonia in northern Greece in the late 1970's, and was described as a new species in 1986. The moth grows up to 5 mm long and has shiny, bright brown forewings with thin black and white stripes. Its larvae are leaf miners on the Common Horse-chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), causing significant damage to the appearance of the trees. Despite the poor appearance of horse-chestnut trees infested with C. ohridella, there is no evidence that damage by the moth leads to a decline in tree health, the development of dieback, or tree death. Trees survive repeated infestations and re-flush normally in the following year. It appears that most of the damage caused by the moth occurs too late in the growing season to greatly affect tree performance. Consequently, there is no reason to fell and remove trees just because they are attacked by C. ohridella.
(3) Leaf rolling[edit | edit source]
European oak leafroller
The tortrix moth Tortrix viridana is known as the European oak leafroller and the green oak moth. It is a distinctive green moth whose larvae feed on tree leaves, especially oak.
An infestation of the larvae can defoliate an oak tree. The adult female lays its eggs next to leaf buds which the larvae consume when they emerge. As the larvae grow bigger they eat larger leaves, and then roll themselves up in a full-sized leaf to pupate.
(4) Wood boring[edit | edit source]
Common furniture beetle
The common furniture beetle (Anobium punctatum) is a woodboring beetle. In the larval stage it bores on wood and feeds upon it. Adult Anobium punctatum measure 2.7–4.5 mm in length.
Adults do not feed, they just reproduce. The female lays her eggs into cracks in wood or inside old exit holes, if available. The eggs hatch after some three weeks, each producing a 1 mm long, creamy white, C-shaped larva. For three to four years the larvae bore semi-randomly through timber, following and eating the starchy part of the wood grain, and grow up to 7 mm. They come nearer to the wood surface when ready to pupate. They excavate small spaces just under the wood surface and take up to eight weeks to pupate. The adults then break through to the surface as adults, making a 1mm to 1.5 mm exit hole and spilling dust, the first visible signs of an infestation.
(5) Paper eating[edit | edit source]
Lepisma saccharina (commonly called the silverfish) is a small, wingless insect typically measuring from a half to one inch (12–25 mm).
The favorite food of silverfish is any matter that contains starch or polysaccharides, such as dextrin in adhesives. These include glue, book bindings, paper, photos, sugar, hair, and dandruff. Silverfish can also cause damage to books, tapestries, and textiles. Silverfish will commonly graze in and around showers, baths, and sinks on the cellulose present in many shampoos, shaving foams and so on. Apart from these cases, the damage caused by silverfish is negligible and they have no direct effect on human health beyond psychological distress to those who are frightened or disgusted by their appearance. Other substances that may be eaten include cotton, linen, silk and synthetic fibers, and dead insects or even its own exuvia (moulted exoskeleton). During famine, a silverfish may even attack leatherware and synthetic fabrics. In extreme cases, silverfish may live for a year without eating.
(6) Parasites on the body of bird or mammal.[edit | edit source]
Cat flea
The cat flea's primary host is the domestic cat, but this is also the primary flea infesting dogs in most of the world. The cat flea can also maintain its life cycle on other carnivores and on the Virginia opossum. Rabbits, rodents, ruminants and humans can be infested or bitten, but a population of cat fleas cannot be sustained by these aberrant hosts.
Cat fleas can transmit other parasites and infections to dogs and cats and also to humans. The most prominent of these are Bartonella, the tapeworm Dipylidium caninum, and murine typhus.
b. Describe the castes of termites and honey bees.[edit | edit source]
Termites[edit | edit source]
A female that has flown, mated, and is producing eggs, is called a "queen". Similarly, a male that has flown, mated, and remains in proximity to a queen, is termed a "King". These anthropocentric terms have caused great misunderstanding of colony dynamics. Research using genetic techniques to determine relatedness of colony members is showing that colonies are not headed by a single monogamous royal pair. Multiple pairs of kings and queens within a colony are not uncommon. In some families (Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae, and possibly others) sperm competition does not seem to occur, suggesting that only one male (king) generally mates within the colony.
Worker termites undertake the labors of foraging, food storage, brood, nest maintenance, and some of the defense effort in certain species. Workers are the main caste in the colony for the digestion of cellulose in food and are the most likely to be found in infested wood.
The soldier caste has anatomical and behavioral specializations, providing strength and armor which are primarily useful against ant attack. The proportion of soldiers within a colony varies both within and among species. Many soldiers have jaws so enlarged that they cannot feed themselves, but instead, like juveniles, are fed by workers.
Honey Bees[edit | edit source]
A honey bee colony has only one queen, and she is the one that lays all the eggs. If the queen dies or becomes sick, the workers can make a new queen by feeding the larvae royal jelly. As these larvae mature, they attain the ability to lay eggs. They will fight to the death until only one bee remains as the new queen. A fertile queen is able to lay fertilized or unfertilized eggs. The unfertilized eggs develop into drones and the fertilized eggs develop into either workers or virgin queens.
Drones are male bees. They have no stingers, and their only job is to mate with the queen. Drones do not even feed themselves, but rely on the workers to feed them. The colony does not need drones when the queen is not laying eggs, and needs to conserve its resources to survive the winter. Therefore, drones are not allowed to live in the hive in winter - they are ejected and die. In the spring when the queen lays eggs, they will, being unfertilized, develop into drones.
The vast majority of honey bees are workers, which are the sterile females. They have many responsibilities throughout their lives:
1–2 days Clean the brood cells
3–5 days Feed the worker larvae beebread made of pollen and honey.
6–11 days Feed royal jelly to the queen larva and bee milk, which is just another term for royal jelly, to the 1-3 day old drone and worker larvae.
11–17 days Build cells from wax, repair old cells, and store nectar and pollen brought in by other workers. Early in the worker's career she will exude wax from the space between several of her abdominal segments. Four sets of wax glands, situated inside the last four ventral segments of the abdomen, produce wax for comb construction.
18–21 days Soldier bees hang around near the entrance and attack invaders. Entrance guard bees inspect incoming bees to ensure that they are bringing in food and have the correct hive odor. Other bees will be rejected or attacked with soldier bees. Outer guards may take short flights around the outside of the hive in response to disturbances.
22–42 days The forager and scout bees travel (up to 1.5 miles) to a nectar source, pollen source or to collect propolis.
c. Compare the degree of intelligence exhibited by a grasshopper or a beetle, and an ant, bee, or wasp.[edit | edit source]
Ants, bees, and wasps are eusocial insects. Each individual cooperates with the others in the colony. They work together as if they were different parts of a larger organism. This behavior requires a greater degree of intelligence than is exhibited by the likes of grasshoppers and beetles (which are solitary).
The Ant and the Grasshopper is one of Aesop's fables drawing upon this difference. The fable concerns a grasshopper who has spent the warm months singing away while the ant (or ants in some editions) worked to store up food for winter. After the winter has come, the grasshopper finds itself dying of hunger, and upon asking the ant for food is only rebuked for its idleness. The story is used to teach the virtues of hard work and saving, and the perils of improvidence. Some versions of the fable state a moral at the end, along the lines of:
Idleness brings want
To work today is to eat tomorrow
It is best to prepare for the days of necessity

It's that time of year again when we stop by the local greenhouse and pick up our plants and seeds to start our annual gardens. It has been years since I've planted a large garden, due to our yard size, but since moving into our new home, we have no shortage of a yard to plant our garden this year!
May Long weekend was the perfect weekend to build and plant our garden. Since we moved onto a few acres, we had some options as to where we should put the new garden. Our decision was to put it by one end of our property, where it would get south facing sun all day. We then spent the next few days mapping and then planting our garden. We were fortunate to be able to create a large garden, probably bigger than what we needed; but it gave us the space to map out what we wanted to grow, with ample room between rows and space for our vegetables to grow.
Now we water, weed and wait!
A great gardening initiative in Brandon this year is the Incredible Edible Brandon. A program that has a dozen, self-watering planters placed throughout the city. The community has really come together to help sponsor the development of this plan. Planters filled with produce, maintained by volunteers and available to whoever wants or needs it, as it grows. This is not only a program in giving, it is a program in trust, sharing and community. The concept of urban gardening projects like this one are not a new idea, but definitely new to Brandon and one they hope can flourish and spread.
Even if you don't have a green thumb or the space to garden, there is always an opportunity to get your hands a little dirty. Why not stop and weed a planter as you walk by or grab a tomato for supper!

KY LEGISLATURE
Kentucky General Assembly will continue legislative session despite coronavirus pandemic
Morgan Watkins
FRANKFORT — The Kentucky legislature will press forward with its lawmaking session as scheduled despite the coronavirus pandemic, although it will put some precautions in place.
The Kentucky Senate and House of Representatives are in the midst of the session and still need to pass a budget for the state government.
"We believe that the General Assembly has a responsibility to the people of Kentucky and our membership is committed to fulfilling that obligation," House Speaker David Osborne and Senate President Robert Stivers said in a joint statement. "However, we are putting in place a number of safety procedures based on the recommendations of public health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"While this is a departure from business as usual, we are taking every step possible to use available technology to ensure transparency and accessibility."
Their decision comes shortly after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Sunday that people cancel or postpone in-person gatherings of 50 or more people for the next eight weeks. The White House on Monday went further, urging the limitation of gatherings of more than 10 people.
There are 38 senators and 100 representatives in the Kentucky General Assembly.

It also came after Gov. Andy Beshear announced he will close the state Capitol to nonessential personnel starting Tuesday morning to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
"That, again, is a big step, and I am a person who ran on these doors being open for everyone all the time," Beshear said Monday of his decision to severely restrict access to the Capitol. "We're dealing with something that we could have never anticipated, and at the end, my obligation is to keep people safe as we move forward.
"This is a step where we are modeling what we're asking other people to be modeling," he said.
The state legislature also plans to limit access to the Capitol Annex and to legislative proceedings.
"While this policy is similar to the Governor's closing of the Capitol, there will be some variations as the legislature proceeds with necessary legislative business," a news release from legislative leaders said. "Only elected members, staff, and members of the media will be allowed in the facility until further notice."
Legislators who helm the state House's Democratic caucus indicated Monday evening they have concerns about the legislature sticking to its schedule for the lawmaking session during the pandemic.
House Democratic Leaders Joni Jenkins, Derrick Graham and Angie Hatton are asking their caucus' lawmakers to stay home, "at least in the near term," if they are age 60 or older, have health issues, or live with someone with either of those characteristics.
Gerth:General Assembly needs to go home amid growing coronavirus threat
"We are asking all other caucus members to use their best judgment," they said in a statement Monday evening. "We as a caucus feel strongly that, if the General Assembly is to meet, legislators should only consider the budget and other critical bills needed to help Kentuckians directly affected by the many closures.
"We worry that even that may have to wait until a special session, given that the President and the CDC have asked Americans to limit groups of 10 or more," they continued. "Because of these and other reasons, we believe this situation is fluid and should be re-evaluated every day. We cannot ask Kentuckians to take draconian steps if we are not willing to do them ourselves."
Kentuckians can still communicate with their representatives by email or phone, and they can watch the legislature's proceedings online or on TV through Kentucky Education Television.
Meanwhile, to reduce the number of people gathering together for these proceedings at a time when a highly contagious virus is present in Kentucky, the legislature will stop using legislative pages, door keepers and other personnel on the House and Senate floors and will limit in-person attendance at committee meetings.
The legislative leaders' news release said further changes are possible and emphasized that their "top priority is the health and safety of Kentuckians."
Coronavirus tracker:How many cases are in Kentucky? Where are they?
Beshear said Monday that he would recommend the legislature approve a budget for the state government as quickly as it can.
He also indicated it's possible the state's eventual budget may not be able to invest as heavily in certain things as he initially hoped, because of the coronavirus pandemic and the costly impacts it is having on Kentucky and its residents.
"Now, I was very proud to put forth a budget (proposal) where, for the first time in 12 years, we were making real investments," Beshear said. "We're to the point where we're going to have to get through this coronavirus and see what investments we can make at that point.
"But we are in a different time and what's most important is that they get us a budget, and then we can come back if we have to at a later date, and my hope is to have more dollars to put into important places," he said of state lawmakers.

So you made a decision and became a dog owner… so what now? Do you or do you not put a sign on your gate advertising the fact?
Well, this is a question that some of us find very troubling. I guess this simple task of screwing a nice metal or plastic plaque onto your gate can have some consequences. So should we or shouldn't we advertise the fact that we own a dog?
Trespassing… A beware of the dog sign can be a nice little reminder that you are about to enter someone else's property, just in case the fence or gate wasn't a big enough clue, but isn't this an admission that your dog is dangerous and might bite? Some people think it is… This doesn't mean that the sign shouldn't be there but you might want to rethink what it should state… unless you have a truly protective dog like a serious guard dog and it probably will, in fact, attack the intruder, then a sign stating the fact is fair game in my eyes.
Security… of both your dog and your property… yes, you are reading it right… dogs might protect your property and a sign like this might make some robber think twice before picking on your household but what about the dog? I remember a few years ago there was a huge spike in reports of household dogs being stolen…a sign like this may make it easier for some nefarious individual to identify what house comes with a dog. I assume people stealing dogs isn't your everyday situation but still, it is worth a consideration.
Ease of access… depending on your property layout and how gated it is, it might be nice to warn a delivery person for example that you own a dog, especially if it is the barking type. I can imagine that being surprised by a "barking monster" on the other side of the fence isn't a pleasant experience for them. Just remember to keep your gate locked at all times, you don't want to risk the dog running away simply because someone didn't lock the gate behind them.
Choice of signs… beware of the dog isn't the only sign out there, there are a lot of different dog signs to choose from or you can even design your own sign. You might want to consider something like "Dog running free", or "Dog in the yard" or "I can make the gate in 3 seconds, can you?" – They all suggest you have a dog without implying that the dog is a vicious killer.
I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here. It all depends on why you want to put a sign up, what the sign will say and what breed of the dog you own… think about it and make your own mind.
Do you have a dog sign on your gate?
Did you ever consider putting one up?
Let's be honest, most food labels, being human or for our pets, are not really designed for your average Jo… you really do need specialist detailed knowledge if you wish to fully understand what you or your pet are eating. Human food labelling is slowly getting better, the regulations are changing and some labels are becoming straight forward, but what about pet food? Not so fast to change, so how do you go about deciphering that?
Well, this is a good question. Unclear terms and tons of marketing babble can make it really hard to truly understand what's inside the packet.
Recently, I came across an article "Calls for clearer labelling on pet food" by Dogs Monthly, which features an infographic by Data Label. There was a part which really made me think.
Every time you read on your label dehydrated, powder, dried, meal, concentrated… this is not whole meat, those are parts of the animal which are either surplus requirements in the human food industry or are not intended for human consumption… doesn't sound very appealing, does it?
Now here is another pet food labelling dilemma. Let's say, I just bought a puppy and I want to buy a high protein dog food to help him grow up big and strong… I look at the labels, I study all the numbers and tables and pick the one which shows the highest amount of protein… sounds good, right? Well, not really… it's maybe not the right choice or even a good choice because I have no idea what type of protein they are using… protein from the whole chicken does not equal proteins obtained from say chicken beaks or feet… yet looking at the labels I will never know which grade of protein is in the pack.
A lot of people think that naturally the more expensive the food, then the better quality it is… I personally strongly DO NOT agree with this! I think if this would be the truth then there would be no need for mystery labelling… I think the company would be proud to clearly state what's in their food for everyone to understand without having a degree in deciphering mystery labels. Don't ever underestimate what a fully funded marketing department can achieve.
Pet food labelling shouldn't be a mystery, it should be clear, simple and understandable to everyone, to all customers.
I hope one day this will become a reality!
Whether you're watching someone else's pup or on an adventure with your own, keeping canines cool in the heat of the summer is a top priority. In a season full of dog-friendly lakeside lounging and strenuous hikes, it's best to stay afloat of these key tips to prevent heat stroke.
If your dog has any of the following traits, be extremely careful in hotter climes. Make sure they have plenty of water, access to shade, and time to rest.
And be extra-vigilant in extreme heat and humidity—and not just from outdoor adventures. Make sure your four-legged pals aren't enclosed in unventilated conditions such as hot cars, rooms, or grooming dryer cages.
At the worst phases of heat stroke, your dog may vomit blood, produce black stool or have a wobbly gait, known as ataxia. In these scenarios, take your dog to the nearest vet right away.
And to move from the grim to the more fun tips…here's some pup-friendly summer fun that will keep energetic pups happy and healthy!
As long as you're careful, prepared and vigilant, there's no reason to worry about Buddy getting sick from heat stroke. So enjoy all that summertime has to offer, with these easy-to-remember tips in mind.

These days wearable tech isn't only for us humans, pets have their share of the market too. GPS or activity trackers are actually super useful and can make our everyday life so much easier! Easier for us and more secure for our beloved pets. To date we have tried two different types of pet tech, Tabcat for cats and Whistle for dogs, they both work in a different ways and serve a different purpose.
Tabcat is a tracking device which works on RF technology for accurate, energy efficient tracking (one battery will last up to 12 months). It comes as a standalone unit; one transceiver plus two homing tags with plastic protectors, which you can attach to just about anything you want, your cat included 🙂 There is an option to purchase additional tags as the device can track up to four subjects on one unit. The homing tags are super lightweight (only 6 grams) so your cat shouldn't even notice it.
In general I really like the idea of Tabcat but its 122 meter distance isn't far enough for us. I know cats are territorial creatures but as it ended up ours wonder much further so I am still losing track of them. I think Tabcat would be ideal if you cats like to hide and you struggle with finding them around the house or nearby garden.
Whistle offers two options, GPS tracker or an activity monitor. We tested the activity monitor version and I have to admit, I totally love it.
Whistle's Activity Monitor is a health tracker for your dog. It attaches to any collar and measures your dog's activities, giving you a new perspective on the day-to-day behaviour and long-term trends.
The device is app based and it can be highly personalised. In addition to tracking the activities or sleep duration of your dog, you can also track food or medication; all the data comes in the form of graphs so it's super easy to track the progress and if you want there is a Whistle community you can join too.
The Whistle itself is a round disk 1.5" in diameter, it might be a bit big for very small dogs but for Bunk is just perfect. It comes with a collar attachment and a USB charger. The battery last around 7 days, which isn't bad. It takes about 1 hour to fully recharge it and the device provides a clear green light indicator when it is fully charged.
I am not able to fault it in any way. Even in the UK climate with all its tons of rain it still works well and is still performing as intended so its waterproof feature is spot on. If you fancy a kind of Fitbit for your pet, I think Whistle might just be just the way to go.
Have you ever used any wearable tech for your pet?
Can you recommend something new we haven't tried so far?

GamelaTron: The Robot Gamelan Orchestra
This is, I have to admit, pretty cool [hat tip to Marginal Revolution]. Here's more on the actual workings of the thing, complete with audio and video streaming.
What Zemi17 and LEMUR (the League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots) have achieved is a great piece of installation art and I like the actual music a great deal. As longtime fan of Balinese gamelan (and a lot of the Western art music is has inspired), however, I find Gamelatron, well... a bit too clean. Unlike, say, Conlon Nancarrow's works for player piano, Gamelatron doesn't really seem to exploit the fact that it is a machine performance. Instead, its aesthetic is more like that of a traditional mechanical music box: A smooth, pretty emulation of traditional performance.
Gamelan played by human beings, by contrast, is first and foremost a collective, communal art form: A 'warts and all' aesthetic that suppresses egoistic virtuosity. So, I suppose, what's missing from Gamelatron is precisely what I most value about gamelan. What a Luddite thing to say...

AI Out of Control?
To date there has been a only surprisingly small handful of cases where serious collective reflection about the hazards of a new technology--and attempts to regulate it--have actually preceded the development of that technology. Nuclear technology is one (debatable) example. Recombinant DNA technology is another (though, of course, rDNA is a broad term covering not just one but a number of different technologies). One of the storied events in the history of biotechnology is an example of this sort of reflection-in-advance: The 1975 Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA. At the time, rDNA research was brand new. The first use of restriction enzymes to cut specific DNA sites had been demonstrated barely two years before. Stanley Cohen of Stanford and Herbert Boyer of UC San Francisco (who would later go on to found Genetech) had just applied for a patent on basic techniques of rDNA technology. The Asilomar conference was intended to draw up guidelines for the safe containment of rDNA experiments, to curtail certain lines of potentially harmful research and to raise public public awareness about the risks and benefits of genetic biotechnology. While it did to give rise to any changes in law (at least not directly), it was direct impetus behind the NIH "Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules" that, with occasional amendments, has effectively regulated academic biotechnology research in the U.S. ever since. And, certainly, it succeed in raising public awareness.
Recently the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence has, it seems, tried to follow in the footsteps of the 1975 conference by staging another conference at Asilomar, this one devoted to the dangers of autnomous technological systems powered by AI (such as predator drones, medical robosts that intereact directly with patients, etc.). Chief among those dangers is the possibility that, precisely because they are designed to act autonomously, such systems may escpape human control and so any damage that they might inflict might become extremely difficult to stop. Some the specific exmaples discussed in the NYT piece--such as the use of AI in data mining and the use of speech synethesis to impersonate and defraud--really do seem to me to be quite significant. Especialy so since the relevant technologies are already pretty highly developed and widely diffused.
We'll see what becomes of "Asilomar II" when the report from the conference is released later this year. Perhaps, like the orginal, it will motivate reseach funding agencies to adopt new guidelines. (Though, frankly, I wouldn't bet on it.)

A Quaint, But Ultimately Ridiculous, Technology Story
As the New York Times reports today, state governments in Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey and elsewhere have begun to distribute terminals to farmers who sell at farmers markets, finally enabling people to make purchases there (of, let's assume, healthier, better for the environment, etc. food) using Food Stamp debits.
Great. Really. But, at least to my mind, this really shows the advantages of the (historically) Canadian solution to the poverty problem: Give disadvantaged people money. That's accepted everywhere without any need for wireless terminals or additional government programs.
Yes, I know. One of the main supposed virtues of the U.S. Food Stamps program is that it prevents people from taking state support that could have gone to food and diverting it instead to cigarettes, drugs, booze, lottery tickets and other bad things. (And, of course, viewed from the other side, it helps to insure low-income people against the necessity of having to choose other living costs, like rent, over nutrition.) But, while I really am happy that some U.S. citizens will now be able to use Food Stamps at farmers markets, I can't help but note that all of the expenditure for these sexy new technology programs could have instead been used to increase Food Stamps benefits. Just saying...
Film Piracy and Mobile Phones
Cory Doctrow writes in The Guardian this week about how some movie theatres have begun to confiscate mobile phones from their patrons, supposedly as a way to combat piracy. Doctrow's main focus is on the terrible threat to privacy posed by this practice: Who knows what's happening to your phone while it's in the custody of the theatre owners? Some theatre employee could be going through your contact list, viewing your photos, looking through your data, listening to your voice mail, or even (and this is fairly plausible, given the available online market) cloning your phone's SIM.
While I've yet to see any theatres doing this myself, these are all very real privacy risks, especially given that theatre owners apparently haven't yet developed any policies about how they will secure confiscated phones. If the practice continues, no doubt some guidelines sooner or later will be supplied by case law. But still, I can't seriously see myself surrendering my phone to some teenage usher at the local cineplex. If this became the norm, it simply would provide me with with one more reason not to bother going to the movies.
So far so good. But the other main focus of Doctorow's piece (and some of the online discussion that it has generated) strikes me as pretty much completely specious. In a nutshell, the claim is that cam recording of feature films isn't really that big of a deal and that cam recording using cell phones is essentially a non-existent problem. According to Doctrow, the real action, the real threat to the movie industry, comes from screeners and other illegal pre-release distribution of films.
Well, yes and no. If you go onto a typical bitorrent site, I reckon that the majority of titles you'll see are DVD rips--that's to say, copies ripped from commercial DVDs. Amongst the pre-release or 'in theatres now' content, there is, it's true, a pretty obvious preference hierarchy. The best quality (and so most desirable) torrents are screeners. But there are still plenty of 'cam' (i.e., recording on camcorder) titles. And, I'd submit, there always will be so long as the cultural logic of Hollywood holds sway. Having seen the latest blockbuster is a positional good: It's value at least partly consists in having been the first person you know to have seen the film. (Of course, the same goes for having seen the latest cool independent release or art house film, probably even more so.) So, as long as 'seeing it while it's hot' (or as Roland Barthes might have said, while it's 'receivable') remains part of a film's value, there will be a pretty straightforward algorithm driving the behavious of file sharers: Is a screener copy available? If yes, grab that. If not, then there will be at least some demand for a cam copy. And, inevitably, almost ineluctably, someone will fill that demand.
Out of Work Robots
Well, of course. (Hat Tip to Devin) What else would you expect in the midst of a general economic downturn? At least they don't claim unemployment insurance. Though, on the other hand, being, well...robots, presumably it's not the case that they are all that upset about being unemployed.
Despite the gloom in the article, however, I'm pretty confident that this is, at most, a temporary setback. The Japanese, being seemingly culturally obsessed with all things robotic, may have over-invested. But I still reckon we'll be, um, welcoming robots into our lives soon enough.

Schafhof ist ein Gemeindeteil der oberfränkischen Gemeinde Ahorn im Landkreis Coburg.

Geographie
Schafhof liegt etwa fünf Kilometer südwestlich von Coburg. Durch den Ort, zu dem Seemühle gehört, führt die Kreisstraße CO 12 nach Wohlbach, von der eine Gemeindeverbindungsstraße nach Hohenstein abzweigt. Der Wohlbach, ein rechter Zufluss der Itz, fließt durch Schafhof. Westlich des Wohlbachs liegt der Ort Ziegelhütte , der bis 1931 zum Bezirksamt Staffelstein gehörte und inzwischen mit Schafhof zusammengewachsen ist.

Geschichte
Schafhof hatte 1452 den Ortsnamen "Schaafhoff". Es handelte sich um eine geschlossene Wirtschaftseinheit, die zu Schloss Hohenstein gehörte. Der Ort war ab 1485 Teil des Kurfürstentums Sachsen, aus dem später das Herzogtum Sachsen-Coburg hervorging.

Schafhof gehört seit 1839 zum evangelisch-lutherischen Kirchensprengel von Ahorn. Zuvor war der Ort Watzendorf zugeordnet gewesen. Die Gemeinde Hohenstein wurde am 20. Juni 1898 nach Schafhof eingegliedert. Die Kinder besuchten in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts die Schule in Wohlbach.

In einer Volksbefragung am 30. November 1919 stimmten ein Schafhofer Bürger für den Beitritt des Freistaates Coburg zum thüringischen Staat und 39 dagegen. Somit gehörte ab dem 1. Juli 1920 auch Schafhof zum Freistaat Bayern.

1925 hatte das Dorf 105 Einwohner und 16 Wohnhäuser. In Hohenstein lebten 24 Menschen und es gab 5 Wohnhäuser.

1950 zählte Schafhof 171 Einwohner und 23 Wohnhäuser. Aufgrund eines Flüchtlings-Altersheim der Caritas im Schloss Hohenstein lebten 106 Menschen in dem Ortsteil.

Am 1. Januar 1971 erfolgte die Eingemeindung von Schafhof nach Ahorn.

1987 hatte Schafhof 179 Einwohner und 43 Wohnhäuser. In Hohenstein lebten 13 Menschen und es gab 7 Wohnhäuser.

Sports Illustrated's NHL All-Star Selections
Fan balloting for All-Star roster spots is always a hot topic, and this year's controversy has probably been the most heated, between the dominance of the Montreal Canadiens in the starting lineup, and the absence of Alex Ovechkin or any of the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings. The natural result of this has been a variety of calls to eliminate fan balloting or restrict it in some fashion.
Until that day comes, we can at least consider the selections as they would have been made by relatively neutral observers. For that, let's take a look at Sports Illustrated's choices for the All-Star starting lineups, as presented in the issue currently on newsstands…
SI's All-Stars
A lineup with only one Canadien (four were voted in by fans) is matched with an unheralded goalie and his single-Wing offense.
G Tim Thomas, Bruins
D Zdeno Chara, Bruins
D Andrei Markov, Canadiens
C Evgeni Malkin, Penguins
LW Alexander Ovechkin, Capitals
RW Alexander Semin, Capitals
G Steve Mason, Blue Jackets
D Dan Boyle, Sharks
D Shea Weber, Predators
C Pavel Datsyuk, Red Wings
LW Patrick Marleau, Sharks
RW Jarome Iginla, Flames
Frankly, these are much more compelling selections than what the fans came up with. For this listing as well as a feature story by Michael Farber about the dominating performances of the San Jose Sharks and Boston Bruins during the first half of the season, feel free to pick up the latest issue or read the PDF on your computer. Special thanks to SI for making that PDF available to our readers!


Just one year after the world's best skiers and skaters gathered in South Korea to compete for Olympic gold, many of the venues stand empty, with arguments mounting over their future and upkeep costs.
When South Korea won last year's Games, Mount Gariwang in Jeongseon was one of the few summits big enough to provide the 800-metre (2,600-foot) vertical drop required for a downhill skiing venue under International Ski Federation rules.
Organisers secured a temporary opt-out from the forestry ministry -- enraging green campaigners -- with a promise to restore the site to woodland after the event.
"I had expected the Olympic legacy would attract many visitors here and stimulate our local economy, which is stagnant," said local businessman Kim Chang-young, 52, who regularly joins the protests.
He feels "betrayed" since the Games, he told AFP, with "hardly any visitors" coming to Jeongseon.
And the area's biggest resort Yongpyong, where slalom events were held, has seen fewer visitors this December and January than two years ago.
It is the only facility of its kind in the country, forcing South Korea's bobsleigh and skeleton national teams to train in Canada instead.
Meanwhile, the Gangneung Ice Arena, which hosted the figure skating and short-track speed skating, has been used for concerts -- but only twice.
A study by the government's Korea Development Institute on the sliding centre, the Oval and the hockey centre is due to report in June, a sports ministry official told AFP, including on upkeep costs and who should pay them.
"The government should have had a long-term plan to use the Olympic venues," said Han Hyung-seob, 37, a startup founder who took his family on a visit to Pyeongchang.
"After they invested a large amount of money, abandoning these facilities because it costs too much to maintain is beyond understanding as a South Korean."
