[This is a very old story: the Danes who used to fight with the English in King Alfred's time knew this story. They have carved on the rocks pictures of some of the things that happen in the tale, and those carvings may still be seen. Because it is so old and so beautiful the story is told here again, but it has a sad ending—indeed it is all sad, and all about fighting and killing, as might be expected from the Danes.]
ONCE upon a time there was a King in the North who had won many wars, but now he was old. Yet he took a new wife, and then another Prince, who wanted to have married her, came up against him with a great army. The old King went out and fought bravely, but at last his sword broke, and he was wounded and his men fled. But in the night, when the battle was over, his young wife came out and searched for him among the slain, and at last she found him, and asked whether he might be healed. But he said `No,' his luck was gone, his sword was broken, and he must die. And he told her that she would have a son, and that son would be a great warrior, and would avenge him on the other King, his enemy. And he bade her keep the broken pieces of the sword, to make a new sword for his son, and that blade should be called Gram.
Then he died. And his wife called her maid to her and said, `Let us change clothes, and you shall be called by my name, and I by yours, lest the enemy finds us.'
So this was done, and they hid in a wood, but there some strangers met them and carried them off in a ship to Denmark. And when they were brought before the King, he thought the maid looked like a Queen, and the Queen like a maid. So he asked the Queen, `How do you know in the dark of night whether the hours are wearing to the morning?'
And she said:
`I know because, when I was younger, I used to have to rise and light the fires, and still I waken at the same time.'
`A strange Queen to light the fires,' thought the King.
Then he asked the Queen, who was dressed like a maid, `How do you know in the dark of night whether the hours are wearing near the dawn?'
`My father gave me a gold ring,' said she, `and always, ere the dawning, it grows cold on my finger.'
`A rich house where the maids wore gold,' said the King. `Truly you are no maid, but a King's daughter.'
So he treated her royally, and as time went on she had a son called Sigurd, a beautiful boy and very strong. He had a tutor to be with him, and once the tutor bade him go to the King and ask for a horse.
`Choose a horse for yourself,' said the King; and Sigurd went to the wood, and there he met an old man with a white beard, and said, `Come! help me in horse-choosing.'
Then the old man said, `Drive all the horses into the river, and choose the one that swims across.'
So Sigurd drove them, and only one swam across. Sigurd chose him: his name was Grani, and he came of Sleipnir's breed, and was the best horse in the world. For Sleipnir was the horse of Odin, the God of the North, and was as swift as the wind.
But a day or two later his tutor said to Sigurd, `There is a great treasure of gold hidden not far from here, and it would become you to win it.'
But Sigurd answered, `I have heard stories of that treasure, and I know that the dragon Fafnir guards it, and he is so huge and wicked that no man dares to go near him.'
`He is no bigger than other dragons,' said the tutor, `and if you were as brave as your father you would not fear him.'
`I am no coward,' says Sigurd; `why do you want me to fight with this dragon?'
Then his tutor, whose name was Regin, told him that all this great hoard of red gold had once belonged to his own father. And his father had three sons—the first was Fafnir, the Dragon; the next was Otter, who could put on the shape of an otter when he liked; and the next was himself, Regin, and he was a great smith and maker of swords.
Now there was at that time a dwarf called Andvari, who lived in a pool beneath a waterfall, and there he had hidden a great hoard of gold. And one day Otter had been fishing there, and had killed a salmon and eaten it, and was sleeping, like an otter, on a stone. Then someone came by, and threw a stone at the otter and killed it, and flayed off the skin, and took it to the house of Otter's father. Then he knew his son was dead, and to punish the person who had killed him he said he must have the Otter's skin filled with gold, and covered all over with red gold, or it should go worse with him. Then the person who had killed Otter went down and caught the Dwarf who owned all the treasure and took it from him.
Only one ring was left, which the Dwarf wore, and even that was taken from him.
Then the poor Dwarf was very angry, and he prayed that the gold might never bring any but bad luck to all the men who might own it, forever.
Then the otter skin was filled with gold and covered with gold, all but one hair, and that was covered with the poor Dwarf's last ring.
But it brought good luck to nobody. First Fafnir, the Dragon, killed his own father, and then he went and wallowed on the gold, and would let his brother have none, and no man dared go near it.
When Sigurd heard the story he said to Regin:
`Make me a good sword that I may kill this Dragon.'
So Regin made a sword, and Sigurd tried it with a blow on a lump of iron, and the sword broke.
Another sword he made, and Sigurd broke that too.
Then Sigurd went to his mother, and asked for the broken pieces of his father's blade, and gave them to Regin. And he hammered and wrought them into a new sword, so sharp that fire seemed to burn along its edges.
Sigurd tried this blade on the lump of iron, and it did not break, but split the iron in two. Then he threw a lock of wool into the river, and when it floated down against the sword it was cut into two pieces. So Sigurd said that sword would do. But before he went against the Dragon he led an army to fight the men who had killed his father, and he slew their King, and took all his wealth, and went home.
When he had been at home a few days, he rode out with Regin one morning to the heath where the Dragon used to lie. Then he saw the track which the Dragon made when he went to a cliff to drink, and the track was as if a great river had rolled along and left a deep valley.
Then Sigurd went down into that deep place, and dug many pits in it, and in one of the pits he lay hidden with his sword drawn. There he waited, and presently the earth began to shake with the weight of the Dragon as he crawled to the water. And a cloud of venom flew before him as he snorted and roared, so that it would have been death to stand before him.
Sigurd proofs the sword – Johannes Gehrts (1901)
But Sigurd waited till half of him had crawled over the pit, and then he thrust the sword Gram right into his very heart.
Then the Dragon lashed with his tail till stones broke and trees crashed about him.
Then he spoke, as he died, and said:
`Whoever thou art that hast slain me this gold shall be thy ruin, and the ruin of all who own it.'
Sigurd said:
`I would touch none of it if by losing it I should never die. But all men die, and no brave man lets death frighten him from his desire. Die thou, Fafnir,' and then Fafnir died.
And after that Sigurd was called Fafnir's Bane, and Dragonslayer.
Then Sigurd rode back, and met Regin, and Regin asked him to roast Fafnir's heart and let him taste of it.
So Sigurd put the heart of Fafnir on a stake, and roasted it. But it chanced that he touched it with his finger, and it burned him. Then he put his finger in his mouth, and so tasted the heart of Fafnir.
Then immediately he understood the language of birds, and he heard the Woodpeckers say:
`There is Sigurd roasting Fafnir's heart for another, when he should taste of it himself and learn all wisdom.'
The next bird said:
`There lies Regin, ready to betray Sigurd, who trusts him.'
The third bird said:
`Let him cut off Regin's head, and keep all the gold to himself.'
The fourth bird said:
`That let him do, and then ride over Hindfell, to the place where Brynhild sleeps.'
When Sigurd heard all this, and how Regin was plotting to betray him, he cut off Regin's head with one blow of the sword Gram.
Then all 'he birds broke out singing:
`We know a fair maid, A fair maiden sleeping; Sigurd, be not afraid, Sigurd, win thou the maid Fortune is keeping.
`High over Hindfell Red fire is flaming, There doth the maiden dwell She that should love thee well, Meet for thy taming.
`There must she sleep till thou Comest for her waking Rise up and ride, for now Sure she will swear the vow Fearless of breaking.'
Then Sigurd remembered how the story went that somewhere, far away, there was a beautiful lady enchanted. She was under a spell, so that she must always sleep in a castle surrounded by flaming fire; there she must sleep for ever till there came a knight who would ride through the fire and waken her. There he determined to go, but first he rode right down the horrible trail of Fafnir. And Fafnir had lived in a cave with iron doors, a cave dug deep down in the earth, and full of gold bracelets, and crowns, and rings; and there, too, Sigurd found the Helm of Dread, a golden helmet, and whoever wears it is invisible. All these he piled on the back of the good horse Grani, and then he rode south to Hindfell.
Now it was night, and on the crest of the hill Sigurd saw a red fire blazing up into the sky, and within the flame a castle, and a banner on the topmost tower. Then he set the horse Grani at the fire, and he leaped through it lightly, as if it had been through the heather. So Sigurd went within the castle door, and there he saw someone sleeping, clad all in armour. Then he took the helmet off the head of the sleeper, and behold, she was a most beautiful lady. And she wakened and said, `Ah! is it Sigurd, Sigmund's son, who has broken the curse, and comes here to waken me at last?'
This curse came upon her when the thorn of the tree of sleep ran into her hand long ago as a punishment because she had displeased Odin the God. Long ago, too, she had vowed never to marry a man who knew fear, and dared not ride through the fence of flaming fire. For she was a warrior maid herself, and went armed into the battle like a man. But now she and Sigurd loved each other, and promised to be true to each other, and he gave her a ring, and it was the last ring taken from the dwarf Andvari. Then Sigurd rode away, and he came to the house of a King who had a fair daughter. Her name was Gudrun, and her mother was a witch. Now Gudrun fell in love with Sigurd, but he was always talking of Brynhild, how beautiful she was and how dear. So one day Gudrun's witch mother put poppy and forgetful drugs in a magical cup, and bade Sigurd drink to her health, and he drank, and instantly he forgot poor Brynhild and he loved Gudrun, and they were married with great rejoicings.
Now the witch, the mother of Gudrun, wanted her son Gunnar to marry Brynhild, and she bade him ride out with Sigurd and go and woo her. So forth they rode to her father's house, for Brynhild had quite gone out of Sigurd's mind by reason of the witch's wine, but she remembered him and loved him still. Then Brynhild's father told Gunnar that she would marry none but him who could ride the flame in front of her enchanted tower, and thither they rode, and Gunnar set his horse at the flame, but he would not face it. Then Gunnar tried Sigurd's horse Grani, but he would not move with Gunnar on his back. Then Gunnar remembered witchcraft that his mother had taught him, and by his magic he made Sigurd look exactly like himself, and he looked exactly like Gunnar. Then Sigurd, in the shape of Gunnar and in his mail, mounted on Grani, and Grani leaped the fence of fire, and Sigurd went in and found Brynhild, but he did not remember her yet, because of the forgetful medicine in the cup of the witch's wine.
Now Brynhild had no help but to promise she would be his wife, the wife of Gunnar as she supposed, for Sigurd wore Gunnar's shape, and she had sworn to wed whoever should ride the flames. And he gave her a ring, and she gave him back the ring he had given her before in his own shape as Sigurd, and it was the last ring of that poor dwarf Andvari. Then he rode out again, and he and Gunnar changed shapes, and each was himself again, and they went home to the witch Queen's, and Sigurd gave the dwarf's ring to his wife, Gudrun. And Brynhild went to her father, and said that a King had come called Gunnar, and had ridden the fire, and she must marry him. `Yet I thought,' she said, `that no man could have done this deed but Sigurd, Fafnir's bane, who was my true love. But he has forgotten me, and my promise I must keep.'
So Gunnar and Brynhild were married, though it was not Gunnar but Sigurd in Gunnar's shape, that had ridden the fire.
And when the wedding was over and all the feast, then the magic of the witch's wine went out of Sigurd's brain, and he remembered all. He remembered how he had freed Brynhild from the spell, and how she was his own true love, and how he had forgotten and had married another woman, and won Brynhild to be the wife of another man.
But he was brave, and he spoke not a word of it to the others to make them unhappy. Still he could not keep away the curse which was to come on every one who owned the treasure of the dwarf Andvari, and his fatal golden ring.
And the curse soon came upon all of them. For one day, when Brynhild and Gudrun were bathing, Brynhild waded farthest out into the river, and said she did that to show she was Guirun's superior. For her husband, she said, had ridden through the flame when no other man dared face it.
Then Gudrun was very angry, and said that it was Sigurd, not Gunnar, who had ridden the flame, and had received from Brynhild that fatal ring, the ring of the dwarf Andvari.
Then Brynhild saw the ring which Sigard had given to Gudrun, and she knew it and knew all, and she turned as pale as a dead woman, and went home. All that evening she never spoke. Next day she told Gunnar, her husband, that he was a coward and a liar, for he had never ridden the flame, but had sent Sigurd to do it for him, and pretended that he had done it himself. And she said he would never see her glad in his hall, never drinking wine, never playing chess, never embroidering with the golden thread, never speaking words of kindness. Then she rent all her needlework asunder and wept aloud, so that everyone in the house heard her. For her heart was broken, and her pride was broken in the same hour. She had lost her true love, Sigurd, the slayer of Fafnir, and she was married to a man who was a liar.
Then Sigurd came and tried to comfort her, but she would not listen, and said she wished the sword stood fast in his heart.
`Not long to wait,' he said, `till the bitter sword stands fast in my heart, and thou will not live long when I am dead. But, dear Brynhild, live and be comforted, and love Gunnar thy husband, and I will give thee all the gold, the treasure of the dragon Fafnir.'
Brynhild said: `It is too late.'
Then Sigurd was so grieved and his heart so swelled in his breast that it burst the steel rings of his shirt of mail.
Sigurd went out and Brynhild determined to slay him. She mixed serpent's venom and wolf's flesh, and gave them in one dish to her husband's younger brother, and when he had tasted them he was mad, and he went into Sigurd's chamber while he slept and pinned him to the bed with a sword. But Sigurd woke, and caught the sword Gram into his hand, and threw it at the man as he fled, and the sword cut him in twain. Thus died Sigurd, Fafnir's bane, whom no ten men could have slain in fair fight. Then Gudrun wakened and saw him dead, and she moaned aloud, and Brynhild heard her and laughed; but the kind horse Grani lay down and died of very grief. And then Brynhild fell a-weeping till her heart broke. So they attired Sigurd in all his golden armour, and built a great pile of wood on board his ship, and at night laid on it the dead Sigurd and the dead Brynhild, and the good horse, Grani, and set fire to it, and launched the ship. And the wind bore it blazing out to sea, flaming into the dark. So there were Sigurd and Brynhild burned together, and the curse of the dwarf Andvari was fulfilled.[1]

Heading To Ohio, Trump Attacks Favorite Son Lebron
Campaign 2018 Headlines Race and Ethnicity Sports White House
Oliver Willis August 5, 2018
Reprinted with permission from Shareblue.
Hours before headlining a campaign rally for Ohio congressional candidate Troy Balderson, Trump launched into a racist attack on NBA superstar LeBron James, a product of Ohio who is beloved in the state.
In 2016, James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first NBA championship. Trump, on the other hand, is already proving to be a drag on Balderson's campaign in Ohio's 12th Congressional District.
The district is Trump territory, and in 2016 he carried the area by 11 points. But now the race between Balderson and his Democratic opponent Danny O'Connor is close.
Trump's full-throated embrace of racism and bigotry in the presidency has led most Americans to describe him as a racist. It has helped to keep his approval rating low and contributed to Democratic victories that have often been a repudiation of Trump's racism in states like Virginia and Alabama.
Ohio could be the next.
Referencing an interview James did with CNN anchor Don Lemon, Trump wrote, "Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn't easy to do."
A few hours after attacking James, Trump noted, "Will be going to Ohio tonight to campaign for Troy Balderson for the big Congressional Special Election on Tuesday."
Both James and Lemon are black. Trump has often denigrated blacks by insulting their intelligence. He called Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) a "low-IQ individual" and said she had a "very low IQ." He also called President Barack Obama "so stupid."
Political scientist Brian Klass noted that by his count, since Trump became president, "70% of his tweets calling people 'dumb' or 'low IQ' or 'fools' are attacking women or black people."
Trump is a racist.
The reason James was being interviewed on CNN is that he recently opened an "I Promise School" in Akron, Ohio. The school is focused on supporting at-risk children in his hometown.
He told CNN, "We want every kid that walks through this school to be inspired, to come … away with something, something where they can give back."
Trump's record on school creation by comparison is largely confined to Trump University, a scam school he operated for 5 years before it went defunct. Soon after winning the election, Trump settled three lawsuits alleging fraud at the school for $25 million dollars.
His education secretary, Betsy DeVos, is notable for her ignorance of major education issues, combined with her drive to downplay sexual assault in schools, ignore bigotry, and push to make school costs a burden for students.
The specter of Trump looms over Balderson's campaign, as it does so many other congressional races that Republicans need to hold on to their current majorities.
A racist attack on LeBron James isn't something Balderson probably wanted to deal with. But he chose to associate with Trump, and is relying on Trump to help him at the ballot box.
There may soon be a price to pay for that fateful decision.

Langereis (West-Fries: Lengerois) is een buurtschap en kanaal in de gemeenten Opmeer en Hollands Kroon in de Nederlandse provincie Noord-Holland.

Het is gelegen tussen het dorp en polder Veenhuizen/De Lage Hoek en de plaatsen Aartswoud en Winkel in. De plaats ligt aan beide kanten van het water. De westkant valt onder de gemeente Hollands Kroon terwijl de oostkant onder de gemeente Opmeer valt. Alleen het noordelijkste puntje valt onder de gemeente Medemblik. De oostkant was tot 1979 gelegen in de gemeente Hoogwoud, die toen opging in de gemeente Opmeer. De bewoning van Langereis is deels agrarisch. Precies op de grens met De Lage Hoek, nabij Veenhuizen staat de molen De Vier Winden. Deze poldermolen uit 1891 staat er voor bemaling van de polder De Lage Hoek.

Geschiedenis
De plaatsnaam is afgeleid van het water. De waternaam komt van oorsprong af van de rivier de Reise of Reis die er liep van het Berkmeer tot in de Zuiderzee totdat deze werd rechtgetrokken als een afwateringskanaal. Die riviernaam was afgeleid van het Germaanse benaming voor stromen en zich bewegen, rîsan. Het kanaal was vrij lang voor afwateringskanaal dus noemde men het De Lange Reise, die benaming komt uit 1598 en gold toen ook al voor de ontstaande kern van bewoning langs het kanaal.

In 1745 wordt het geschreven als De Lange Reys, het heeft vanaf dan niet meer de betekenis van de oude rivier maar verwijst het naar het feit dat het nogal tijd kostte als men langs het hele kanaal reisde. Lokaal wordt de plaatsnaam ook wel uitgesproken als Langerois.

Tot 31 december 2011 behoorde Langereis tot de gemeente Niedorp die per 1 januari 2012 in een gemeentelijke herindeling is samengegaan tot de gemeente Hollands Kroon.

6 members of Indian family in Canada among 157 dead in Ethiopian plane crash.
Ottawa: The "trip of a lifetime" to a safari park in Kenya turned into a nightmare for six members of a family from India in Canada who perished when the Nairobi-bound Ethiopian Airlines plane crashed minutes after take-off from Addis Ababa.
The Boeing 737 took off from Bole International Airport on Sunday and lost contact six minutes later before coming down near Tulu Fara village outside the Ethiopian town of Bishoftu, killing all 149 passengers and eight crew on board, including tourists and business travellers.
The victims included Pannagesh Vaidya, 73; his wife Hansini Vaidya, 67; their daughter Kosha Vaidya, 37; her husband Prerit Dixit, 45; and their two children—Anushka and Ashka—Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown was quoted as saying by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
While the Surat-based Vaidya couple were Indian nationals, their daughter, husband and two children were Canadians of Indian-origin.
The family who were living in Canada, heading for a safari vacation, were about to experience "the trip of a lifetime" in Kenya when the tragic loss happened.
"This is an unbelievably tragic situation for this family," Brown said in a statement.
The flags at city hall will remain at half-mast until further notice in honour of the family, Brown said in a message on Twitter.
"It's a huge tragedy," Manant Vaidya, son of Pannagesh, said.
Manant said his sister, who became a Canadian permanent resident in 2003, wanted to take her children to Kenya to visit her birthplace.
The Peel District School Board said on Monday that two of their students, Ashka and Anushka Dixit, along with their parents and grandparents, were passengers on the Ethiopian Airlines plane that was involved in a fatal crash over the weekend.
This tragedy has brought great sadness to the students and staff at Centennial Senior Public School and Chinguacousy Secondary School, the school board said.
"Tomorrow, the flags at @ChinguacousySS & @CentennialSrPS will be lowered to half-mast to remember and honour Anushka Dixit, Ashka Dixit, their parents and grandparents who lost their lives over the weekend," the school board tweeted.
Manant said he last saw his family on Saturday morning when he dropped them off at Toronto Pearson International Airport for their 10 am flight overseas.
Manant and his wife said they are currently speaking with consular officials overseas and waiting for more information on their family's remains, the report said.
People from 35 countries were reportedly on board the flight ET 302 when it ploughed into a field, 60-kilometre southeast of Addis Ababa.
According to the Indian Embassy in Ethiopia, four Indian nationals were killed and they have been identified as Pannagesh Vaidya, Hansini Vaidya, Nukavarapu Manisha, a doctor based in the US, and Shikha Garg, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) consultant attached with the Environment Ministry.
Ethiopian Airlines said Kenya had the largest number of casualties with 32, followed by Canada with 18, Ethiopia nine, then Italy, China, and the US with eight each.
Britain and France each had seven people on board, Egypt six, and Germany five. Twelve countries in Africa and 14 in Europe had citizens among the victims.

Welcome to Same Day Crowns Network. A nation-wide network representing the best-of-the-best when it comes to dentists and dental offices who are leaders in the industry, not only with high tech equipment, but also regarding patient care, dental procedures and overall patient satisfaction.
Your dental health is incredibly important and it should not be taken lightly. At the same time, it shouldn't take several visits to get a great smile.
Why Pick Single Visit Crowns?
It is essential for a individual to have a strong and healthy set of teeth. However, there are some cases where dental cavity development is inevitable. It is typically caused by the person's diet, habits and hygiene. Cavities that are not fixed early may cause substantial damage to the tooth's enamel which may require a dental crown to restore its natural appearance and function.
A dental crown is a cap formed like a tooth which is used to cover the tooth that has actually undergone extensive damage caused by dental cavities. Getting it usually requires two dental visits. During the very first appointment, your broken tooth is cleaned up and the decayed part is eliminated. The dentist will then get the impression of your tooth that required the crown and will send it to a dental laboratory where traditional dental crowns were made. It could be made from a metal, ceramic or porcelain material. Only during the second appointment, your custom-fitted dental crown is cemented to your broken tooth.
With the development in dental technology, the procedure of getting and wearing a dental crown has been made easily offered. Dentists use the new technology in making inlays/onlays, crowns and veneers. After your broken tooth is prepared, they will use an intraoral camera that will take the picture of your affected tooth and have it uploaded to a computer. It will use a computer-aided design in taking the digital impression of your teeth and the impression is transmitted to the computer-aided manufacturing machine which will mill a color-matched ceramic block to your same day crowns. Picking a same day crown over a standard dental crown has its benefits and disadvantages.
CEREC means CERamic REConstruction and is a tool in our office that can take precise digital imagery of areas needing restoration and produce the suitable restoration on the spot.
With our CEREC cad/cam machine, you can have your crown or other restoration finished in simply one visit. We will develop and custom fit your tooth precisely with our computer milling unit right in the office. You no longer need to have a temporary crown or wait weeks for the laboratory to produce your crown.
CEREC can be used for a broad scope of indications: anterior crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, partial crowns and posterior crowns.
A range of dental treatments are available for our local patients. Our goal is to provide a warm and comforting environment for your dental experience, whether you are visiting us for the very first time for a dental evaluation and cleaning, or you are returning to complete your cosmetic smile makeover.
Bonding is a treatment where we use a tooth-colored composite product to a tooth, shape it, allow it to solidify, and polish it. It can be used in specific scenarios where a tooth has actually been damaged or ended up being stained. These are typically small repairs, ones that can be resolved through this reasonably inexpensive ways rather than through a more costly dental treatment.
Bonding includes adhering composite resin material that is matched to the color of the tooth, to the front of the tooth. This is done to fix damage done to the tooth by decay, to modify the alignment of the tooth, close gaps between the teeth, or for cosmetic purposes. First the surface of the tooth is roughed up in order to accept the bonding and hold it. A gel is applied to micro etch the tooth surface, and a primer/bond agent is applied so the material adheres to the surface. Then the material itself is positioned on the tooth and solidified with intense light. The composite resin material is formed and polished to get a shiny finish as a last step.

In a Treacherous Court by Michelle Diener
There are already so many historical fiction novels set in the Tudor court that for a book to stand out from the others the author really needs to find a new way to approach the subject. Michelle Diener's In A Treacherous Court is refreshingly different because it features two interesting but little-known historical figures – John Parker and Susanna Horenbout – both of whom really existed, yet aren't characters that you would usually find in Tudor novels. Despite having read a lot of books set during this period, I had never come across either of these people until now.
Susanna Horenbout is a Flemish artist who travels to the court of Henry VIII in 1525 to become the king's illuminator. During the journey to England, a man dies on board the ship and Susanna is at his side as he whispers his dying words, a secret message that he wants her to deliver to the King. It seems that someone is afraid of what Susanna may have learned, because as soon as she arrives in England an attempt is made on her life. One of the King's most trusted courtiers, John Parker, Yeoman of the Crossbows, has been sent to meet the ship and after discovering how much danger Susanna is in, he vows to protect her while at the same time trying to unravel a plot that could threaten Henry's throne.
In a Treacherous Court is the first in a series and after reading this one, I think both Susanna Horenbout and John Parker have a lot of potential as characters. As historians know so little about their lives, it gives the author some freedom to create exciting adventures for them without being too restricted by what really happened (the story does stick to the historical facts where possible though, and there is an author's note at the end of the book that explains which parts of the novel are based on truth and which are purely fictional). I did find the romance between Susanna and Parker a bit hard to believe as it all seemed to happen so quickly, but who can say whether or not their relationship might really have developed the way it did in the novel?
The plot is very fast-paced with lots of action in every chapter which makes the story fun to read, although I thought the constant murder attempts and attacks on Susanna did become a bit repetitive. This book is definitely at the lighter end of the historical fiction spectrum, but it's certainly an entertaining read with some original ideas that give it a different feel from most of the other Tudor court novels I've read.

Sam (Tiny Library) says:
I've definitely got Tudor fatigue in my historical fiction reading so I like that this one is a bit different. Sounds like perfect summer reading!
I like it when authors use figures we don't know much about, it makes reading the book less like a lesson in searching for bias/unbias. And yay for another writer explaining what is fact and what's fiction, it's always useful to have the information if you want to research more. I hadn't heard of the people either, but it sounds a good book and the premise believable.

East Coast Swing is pure fun! Fast, and energetic, it's emphasis is on looking relaxed! It's used in dance clubs, Country-Western bars, oldies clubs, and ballroom studios. Young and old the swing pulls from a universal crowd!
The term "swing" came from a description used for jazz music. Jazz came into being at the end of the nineteenth century, and after the end of WWI began to enjoy widespread popularity. In the 1920s swing jazz, characterized by a repeating subtle rhythmic undulation in the music was the main music played at the immensely popular Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. The Savoy was open for nightly dancing and attracted both the best bands and best dancers of the time. Dancers developed their own steps and the outcome was the Lindy Hop, characterized by a syncopated two-step followed by a breakaway. Elements of the Lindy could be found in other dances, but the Lindy was the first to combine those elements into one dance. The popular dance swept across the country and gave rise to many variations over the ensuing decades. Two of these variations are the east coast swing and west coast swing, both of which evolved in the 1940s, both very popular in Jacksonville today, and both taught at the Dance Shack.


The appellant faced an allegation of stealing money from her employer over a protracted period of time in 2006. She was convicted at Reading Crown Court, but subsequently her conviction was overturned.
The appeal had turned on the admittance of the appellant's interview conducted by two private investigators. The court considered that the judge's failure to put in place any procedural safeguards in respect of this interview rendered the conviction unsafe.
At a fitness to practise hearing the appellant continued to deny responsibility for the theft. The panel allowed evidence of the interview to be admitted and clearly placed significant reliance on it in rejecting the appellant's defence.
The panel found her impaired. Notwithstanding her thirty years good conduct in the profession, her positive references, and her continued employment since the incident, the appellant was struck off the register.
She appealed to the High Court.
The substance of the appeal came down to two issues: the admissibility of the interview, and the panel's decision on sanction. The panel had made a specific determination on the admissibility of the interview.
It accepted that the requirements for conducting police interviews under the Police and Criminal Evidence 1984 were relevant in determining the issue of fairness. It considered that the Council bore the burden of proving, on the balance of probabilities, that admissions were not the result of improper means.
The High Court considered this approach to be impeccable, and certainly did not consider the decision to admit the evidence was wrong. One of the interviewers had since died prior to the hearing but the panel had access to his cross-examination in the Crown Court and in any case the second interviewer attended and was cross-examined.
The original signed version of the interview had also gone missing, but again the panel were able to rely on the fact it had been produced, and discussed, in the criminal trial.
With regard to sanction, the panel considered the well known case of Bolton v Law Society. It noted the aggravating features in the case – the protracted nature of the dishonesty, committed in breach of trust, and with premeditation. As against that, the only mitigating feature was the length of the appellant's career.
In its view nothing less than striking the appellant off the register was commensurate with maintaining the reputation of the profession. Again, the High Court noted that it had the appropriate principles in mind and this decision could not be criticised.

Ji Hao lost his eyesight as he thudded to the ground from a high altitude like a shooting star. From where Ji Hao landed, the earth rippled circle by circle. Rocks vibrated, and the ground split up. Mountains collapsed as countless towering trees were shattered in the earthquake.
Ji Hao sank deeply into the ground and drilled into the earth to a great depth.
Facing the full-powered strike launched by Gong Gong, the Pan Xi divine mirror blocked a big half of the effect for Ji Hao, while the nine suns stainless cloak released nine raging spheres of flame and burned out the thunderbolt sent over by Gong Gong completely. Not even a hair of Ji Hao was burned.
Nevertheless, this was a full-power strike launched by Gong Gong after all. Despite the fact that the mirror and the cloak managed to protect Ji Hao's body, he still couldn't cope with the terrifying impact force. Consequently, he failed to steady his body in the air and was struck down to the ground.
Tens of thousands of meters deep under the ground, the rocks and sands were melted into lava by the great heat released from the nine suns stainless cloak. Ji Hao shook his head with a bad dizziness. Soaking in the lava, he remained in a daze for quite a while, then finally figured out what had just happened.
What a scary strike! If he didn't have the two treasures to protect him, this strike made by Gong Gong could definitely destroy both his body and his soul.
Gasping deeply in the lingering fear, Ji Hao thought of the feeling he had just now when the thunderbolt struck on his head. At that moment, he instinctively sensed despair and fear. Ji Hao couldn't help but have his face twisted and teeth exposed when he rubbed his whole body.
Gong Gong, so frightful! Only the power vibration that came from the thunderbolt he released had given Ji Hao a great fear, that made Ji Hao not want to see him anymore. Then, this weird feeling made Ji Hao slightly angry, and afterward, this slight anger quickly transformed into a sky-devouring fury.
As he growled out, Ji Hao gripped the nine suns devil-destroying sword with his right hand, the nine suns spear with his left hand, while the Pan Xi divine mirror was faintly visible above his head and the golden bridge released a dim golden light, wrapping his entire body up. He moved as fast as a lightning bolt, bumped up through the thick rock layers then swished into the sky.
Where Ji Hao landed, in hundreds of miles, all mountains were flattened, and the ground had dented for over five-hundred-meter deep, as if it was struck by an enormous shooting star. On the edge of this dented area, rocks had piled up into a circle-shaped wall.
With a badly darkened face, Ji Hao activated the golden bridge, flashed across the sky and showed up right in front of Gong Gong once again.
He pointed the spearhead out and growled out with a harsh voice, "Gong Gong, what are you doing?! This is my territory! I am Earl Yao! You broke into my territory without permission, are you trying to start a war against me?!"
Gong Gong gave a glance at Ji Hao in a slight surprise. Just now, he fully activated his divine power and launched a thunder strike to Ji Hao. But as a Divine Magus, Ji Hao survived that strike, and was actually unharmed at all?!
"Wuzhi Qi, kill him." Gong Gong blandly waved his hand, then trod on a dark cloud. He swished across Ji Hao, dashing towards the nameless mountain which was not far away.
Once Ji Hao slightly moved his body, Wuzhi Qi walked over with a heavy iron stick carried in his hand. While showing his teeth, he silently stood in Ji Hao's way.
Wuzhi Qi's eyes were sparkling with a golden light, and his sharp teeth reflected a bright cold light. Standing in front of JI Hao, Wuzhi Qi began talking with a dark face and a deep voice, "Earl Yao Ji Hao, today, you better not make any reckless moves. Things happened before can be big, and can also be small. But if you go against us today, we would be having no choice but make you shed blood right on the spot."
Ji Hao's face turned even darker as he asked loudly, "What exactly is this for?"
But in the next moment, Ji Hao quickly released his spirit power, swept across the area for a million miles in radius, like thousands of threads. He saw Gong Gong Wuyou, who was already chopped into meat paste, and also saw Zhu Rong Tianming, who was covered in blood. In addition, he saw Priest Corpse, who had leaped up into the sky, rushing towards Gong Gong.
"Did Zhu Rong Tianming…Kill…Gong Gong Wuyou?"
"This…Zhu Rong Tianming, he, he, he…" Ji Hao stared at Wuzhi Qi in shock.
"Zhu Rong Tianming has to die! Zhu Rong has many descendants, but our Gong Gong Family is never the same. Gong Gong Wuyou was the only son of my current master, so, you better stay out of this."
Holding the dark and heavy iron stick that had countless complicated patterns of rivers and mountains clearly visible on it; dim and blue streams of watery light flowed on those patterns of rivers, making those rivers look like wriggling dragons.
Wuzhi Qi gently stroked across those patterns on the stick with his fingers, then continued in a lower voice, "Honestly, I never liked the personality of my current master, neither do I like the way he handles things. Prince Wuyou, that trash, was even more annoying. However, back then, when the old master saved me, I swore that I will be loyal to Gong Gong Family generation after generation."
Ji Hao understood Wuzhi Qi. He put down the spear and the sword and brought the golden bridge back into this spirit space, only leaving the mirror floating above his head, releasing a divine light to surround his body.
Looking at Wuzhi Qi, Ji Hao said, "Alright, I admit, although Zhu Rong Tianming is an elder brother of Man Man, Man Man doesn't like him, and neither do I…As for those followers of his, they never liked me either. Therefore…"
Wuzhi Qi blinked his eyes towards Ji Hao and shouted out, "Come, come, let's see what you have got!"
Ji Hao slowly nodded, turned around and glanced at the group of his friends and warriors, who had been hurriedly rushing over. Then he yelled, "Wuzhi Qi is so powerful! I can't defeat him! Come! Hurry! Come help me deal with this old monkey!"
While yelling, Ji Hao threw a gentle punch towards Wuzhi Qi's head.
Wuzhi Qi dropped the iron stick and launched a soft kick towards Ji Hao's lower belly.
Ji Hao and Wuzhi Qi each made a series of swift yet soft moves and started an 'intense' fight.
Man Man, Shaosi, Yu Mu, Feng Xing and the others who arrived later were all confused. They glanced at each other, then looked at Gong Gong, who was facing Priest Corpse at the moment. Then, all of them nodded, picked up their weapons and joined the fight against Wuzhi Qi.
Soon, one could see Wuzhi Qi releasing his great powers, such that his pair of fist and legs moved as fast as windmills, Ji Hao and his friends and the hundreds of Jia Clan warriors couldn't even approach him.
Not only that, from time to time, numerous Jia Clan warriors would be sent flying out of the group with swollen faces and bleeding mouths, one after another. They howled so loudly, and without a doubt, they were deeply awed by Wuzhi Zhi Qi's power.
The fight continued for a while, as Ji Hao and Wuzhi Qi yawned simultaneously.
They glanced at each other, then Ji Hao took out the cloud bag, released a dense stream of water mist that covered the sky. He wrapped the whole group of people in it.
A few hassocks were put on the ground, and a few plates of fresh fruits were served. Shaosi boiled the tea for everyone, while the group of Jia Clan warriors randomly clanged their weapons. They sat in the watery mist, looking at Gong Gong fighting against Priest Corpse, from a long distance away.

The Regulation of Electronic Transactions in Oman
Ahmed Al Barwani - Head of Office - Oman - Corporate / Mergers & Acquisitions / Commercial
a.albarwani@tamimi.com Muscat
With the fast development and implementation of technology and the internet in processing operations in private and public sectors, and concluding transactions locally and internationally online or electronically on a cross-border basis, it has become essential to develop a legal framework to safeguard the rights and interests of stakeholders utilising such electronic platforms.
The Oman government has accordingly issued the Sultani Decree 69/2008 – entitled "the Electronic Transactions Law" ("the Law"). This legislation was in response to the increasing number of electronic transactions, and resulting amount of cases before Omani courts which did not have a sufficient laws to rely on when adjudicating these bespoke issues.
Electronic Transactions Law
The Law applies, pursuant to Article 3, to electronic transactions, records, signatures and to electronic messages. The Law does not however apply to transactions and matters related to personal status law, such as marriage, divorce and wills. It also does not apply to court procedures, judicial summons, proclamations, summons, arrest orders and judicial decrees. Generally, the provisions of the Law apply to transactions between the parties who agree on conducting their transactions by electronic means and the consent of each party may be inferred from his conduct. In relation to the Government as a party to such transactions, its consent shall be given expressly in writing. Any agreement between the parties to conduct any transaction by electronic means shall not be obligatory on either party to conduct other transactions by the same means.
Electronic communication including messages shall have the same legal effect and force like any other enforceable written document if the conditions provided for in this Law and its implementing regulations are observed.
Where there is a specific requirement contained in any other legislation, for instance the requirement of the Law of Commerce and Employment Law to retain any document or information for any reasons whether they relate to a transaction or an employee, then such retention shall be ascertained by retaining that document or record or information or data in electronic form. This requirement arises if the following conditions are satisfied:
The document, record, information or data are retained electronically in the form they were originated or sent or received or in a form capable of proving accurately that the document or record or information or data originated or sent or received in its original form;
The document, record, information or data shall remain retained in a way to render it accessible, usable and retrievable for subsequent reference; and
The document, record, information or data shall be retained in a way to enable the identification of their origin and destination and the date and time when they were sent or received.
Where the law requires the provision of a message, record or document in its original form and provides for consequences otherwise, then the electronic message or electronic record or electronic document will be regarded as original if there exist a reliable assurance or means allowing display of the information intended to be provided in an understandable way and to verify the integrity of the information contained in any of the documents.
For the purpose of using electronic messages, information, records or data as an evidence in any legal proceedings, nothing shall apply so as to deny the admissibility of the electronic message on the ground that it is not in its original form if the message is the best evidence that the person adducing it could reasonably be expected to obtain.
The message presented in a legal proceeding, shall have evidential weight subject to the following factors:
The reliability of the manner in which the message was performed, entered, generated, processed, stored or presented;
The reliability of the manner in which the integrity of the information was maintained;
The reliability of the source of information if such source is well known;
The reliability of the manner in which its originator was identified; and
Any other relevant factor.
For the purpose of contract formation, an offer and acceptance could be expressed by the parties to the contract through exchange of electronic messages. This will lead to a binding contract on all parties. The validity or enforceability of the contract cannot be challenged or questioned on the ground that it was formed through exchange of electronic message if expressly or impliedly conveys the intention of each party to enter into the contract.
The application of the Law extends to the governmental use of electronic records and signatures. By way of example, the Oman government may use electronic records and signatures to carry out any of the following tasks:
Accepting, depositing, presenting, originating or maintaining documents;
Issuing any decision, permission, license or approval;
Accepting fees of any payments; and
Issuing tenders and receiving bids related to government purchases.
Although the Law regulates provision of services relating to authentication service providers in relation to electronic authentication certificates issuance or any other services relating to electronic signatures, there are not many authentication services providers licensed by the information technology authority in Oman. Further, the Law provides for the protection of the personal data not to be shared or used for any other purpose other than the purpose which was obtained for in the first place.
The Oman Government, in order to combat the information technology related crimes, has issued Sultani Decree 12/2011("Combating of Information Technology Crimes Law") which criminalizes certain acts relating to the infringement of safety and confidentiality of electronic information and information systems, as well as the misuses of information technology means.
The Information Technology Authority ("ITA") in Oman is taking the lead in implementing the government of Oman's strategy of converting the Sultanate into a knowledgeable and sustainable society through the implementation of information and communication technological means to promote governmental services, enrichment of the private sector and enabling individuals in digital dealings. To this end, the ITA has taken some initiatives that include:
Setting up a unified basic infrastructure for the electronic government which includes the relevant applications and the database;
Connecting all governmental institutions through a secured network;
Creation of a work framework for the electronic management; and
Provision of unique electronic services designed especially for the customers to serve the needs of individuals and private sector; and
Development of plans and policies relating to training of individuals in the field of information technology.
Governmental bodies in Oman which have started using electronic systems for processing transactions for individuals and companies are Royal Oman Police, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Ministry of Manpower and Ministry of Climate Affairs. In order to submit or register any transaction it must be made online through insertion of the ID card in a special reader, entering the details necessary and uploading the required documents. Any missing information or documents required to be provided or whenever the application is approved, the applicant will receive an electronic message via email or telephone confirming this.
The Oman Government has enacted the basic legislations which includes the Law and the Combating of Information Technology Crimes Law which regulates how the electronic transactions and contract are concluded and formed. Further, it has established bodies like ITA to ensure proper implementation of the provisions of the Law and the use of the same by other governmental bodies like Royal Oman Police and Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The enactment of the Combating of Information Technology Crimes Law has strengthened the use of information technology in Oman and provides additional protection to its users from any infringement or abuse. Recovering any damages or returns of goods represent another challenge that need to be contractually regulated and set out clearly in the terms and conditions or the contract terms if the execution takes place in different territories.
However and with the increase in the number of transactions entered into by individuals, companies and the government entered into online or electronically, there are still number of areas that the Law is silent about and need to be regulated in the contractual terms given its importance like the jurisdiction, governing law, the courts to hear the disputes. This area is problematic and challenging to determine if not expressly provided in the contract provide that parties may reside in different states with different laws.
Individuals, organisations and governmental entities soon or later will need to develop an internal regulation setting out the criteria for its employees to follow when entering transactions electronically or online starting from verification process of the other contracting party, ensuring protection of its data and processing of information up to conclusion of the contract and its enforceability.


People's is a non-profit food truck bringing 'feel good food' to the city of Atlanta run by City of Refuge, whose mission is to "bring light, hope, and transformation to Atlanta's last, lost, and least." It serves up a menu inspired by the Mississippi Delta created by prolific Atlanta chef and restaurateur, Ford Fry.
The identity, illustrations, and overall brand were created by Samira Rahimi during her time at Iconologic, now known as Icon. The brand revolves around these wonderfully endearing ink illustrations that put a smile on anyone's face. They work great as an overall pattern on various collateral pieces, and work just as well as individual pieces, really letting that hand-painted inky texture shine. The logo itself is pretty simple and standard; I almost wish it was less vector-perfect to fit in with the charming imperfect illustrations, but the orange color does contrast very nicely from the brown-black ink.

Hawaii or Brooklyn?!: Brothers Jean and Jeremy Hidalgo played beach ball during the luau.
Round of applause!: Students performed Chinese culture-inspired dance in front of friends and family.
Day of dancing!: Students also performed Latin-style dances!
Arts and crafts!: Czhine Samule and India Darby crafted cards and sand art during a Luau and Arts Festival at PS 811 in Sheepshead Bay on May 7.
Sheepshead Bay: Tis the season for magic!
PS 811 turned into a Hawaiian paradise during the Sheepshead Bay school's Luau and Arts Festival on May 7. Organizers planned the day as a way for the school's special-needs students to bond with friends and family — and kids had a blast, one mom said.
Kids snacked on ham and pineapple and got to do arts and crafts, too. One student used the opportunity to make a card for her mom — just in time for Mother's Day, the proud progenitor said.
"It was very pretty," said mom Abygail Ortiz.
The school does a wonderful job bringing families together, Ortiz said.


The classic push up is a great way to build strength, balance and flexibility with our body weight alone. Not only does it strengthen your arms and add definition to your upper body and back; it also requires little else than an exercise mat and 20 minutes of your time. Besides, once you've mastered the standard push up, there are endless variations you can try out, each affecting and improving different muscles in your body.
Triceps are often among the trickiest to tone in our upper bodies, especially if we're not regularly lifting weights or used to running and cycling workouts. Crouching tiger pushups not only help you work on your triceps, deltoids and trapezius but they also target the lower back muscles and core. You have to be at an intermediate stage at your pushup routine to attempt this, though people who are comfortably with certain yoga postures, especially the surya namaskar and downward dog, might find certain steps here familiar.
Start in a push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Lower your chest toward the floor; then, bend your knees and press back through your shoulders to bring your knees directly under your hips.
Lift your hips to straighten your legs (like in downward dog).
Repeat for 30 seconds or 8 to 10 reps.
Remember to bend your knees when you lower your chest to the floor. This activates your glutes and gives a better stretch to your calves and hamstrings in the next step.
You can take this routine up a notch or alternate it with the dive-bomber pushups, one of 20+ exercises that have automatic rep counting in mobiefit BODY. In this case, push back from plank into downward dog. Lower your head towards the floor, followed by the face, chest, and abs. Rise up to downward dog again to complete one rep.


The efficiency of hypervisors against cyberattacks has earned them a reputation as a reliable and robust software application. But the persistence of hackers who never run out of creative ways to breach systems keeps IT experts on their toes. You should know the vulnerabilities of hypervisors so you can defend them properly and keep hackers at bay.
A hypervisor is a software application that distributes computing resources (e.g., processing power, RAM, storage) into virtual machines (VMs), which can then be delivered to other computers in a network. This gives people the resources they need to run resource-intensive applications without having to rely on powerful and expensive desktop computers.
System administrators can also use a hypervisor to monitor and manage VMs. So if hackers manage to compromise hypervisor software, they'll have unfettered access to every VM and the data stored on them.
While hypervisors are generally well-protected and robust, security experts say hackers will eventually find a bug in the software. So far, there have been limited reports of hypervisor hacks; but in theory, cybercriminals could run a program that can break out of a VM and interact directly with the hypervisor. From there, they can control everything, from access privileges to computing resources.
Another point of vulnerability is the network. Since hypervisors distribute VMs via the company network, they can be susceptible to remove intrusions and denial-of-service attacks if you don't have the right protections in place.
If those attack methods aren't possible, hackers can always break into server rooms and compromise the hypervisor directly. So what can you do to protect against these threats?
Keeping your VM network away from your management network is a great way to secure your virtualized environment. If malware compromises your VMs, it won't be able to affect your hypervisor.
Ideally, only you, your system administrator, or virtualization provider should have access to your hypervisor console. You need to set strict access restrictions on the software to prevent unauthorized users from messing with VM settings and viewing your most sensitive data.
Off-the-shelf operating systems will have many unnecessary services and apps that increase the attack surface of your VMs. If you can't tell which ones to disable, consult with a virtualization specialist.
Breaking into a server room is the easiest way to compromise hypervisors, so make sure your physical servers are behind locked doors and watched over by staff at all times.
Due to network intrusions affecting hypervisor security, installing cutting-edge firewalls and intrusion prevention systems is highly recommended. These security tools monitor network traffic for abnormal behavior to protect you from the newest exploits.
Hypervisors must be updated to defend them against the latest threats. But if you'd rather spend your time on more important projects, you can always entrust the security of your hypervisors to a highly experienced and certified managed services provider, like us.

OKLAHOMA CITY (March 29, 2017) – Students in Oklahoma are playing a role in an ongoing effort by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) to solve a national problem — the critical shortage of students with mastery of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills.
Through an innovative out-of-school collaboration between the USDE and NASA, local students are conducting scientific observations of the natural environment and are learning the relevance of STEM skills to daily life.
Oklahoma schools are part of the USDE's 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program, which focuses in part on exposing students in high-need schools to meaningful STEM learning opportunities. One goal of the 21st CCLC program — which will serve more than 1.5 million students in all 50 states during the 2016-17 school year — is to demonstrate the value of STEM skills both inside and outside the classroom, thereby raising student interest in STEM and related professions.
This year, NASA is offering two options for unique STEM experiences: Engineering Design Challenges (EDC) and a Global Observation to Benefit Environment (GLOBE) investigation.
EDC introduces students to the engineering design process so they can develop solutions to real NASA challenges, such as how to land a spacecraft on Mars or grow plants in lunar habitats. GLOBE immerses students in scientific investigation techniques, such as data gathering, to learn how clouds impact the Earth's climate. In both cases, students work with NASA engineers and scientists to receive feedback on their work, learn about STEM careers and find out what it's like to work in science and engineering professions.
Ethan Stone, a 7th grader at Caney Public School, and Qualan Brown, a 4th grader at Kendall Whittier in Tulsa, program a Finch robot in ECU'S STEM lab.
At an event held Tuesday in Ada, students presented their findings at the NASA Challenge Showcase. Currently, 93 Oklahoma students are participating in the NASA partnership program. In Oklahoma, 21st Century Community Learning Centers is a part of the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE).
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister said, the engaging, hands-on nature of this program is exactly what our students need.
Since NASA first became a partner in 2013, 21st Century Community Learning Center programs have grown from 20 sites in three states to 146 sites across 15 states in 2017.

Cross-breeding restores sight to blind cavefish
This is an old article, reposted from the original WordPress incarnation of Not Exactly Rocket Science. I'm travelling around at the moment so the next few weeks will have some classic pieces and a few new ones I prepared earlier.
In the caves of Mexico lives a fish which proves that a million years of evolution can be undone with a bit of clever breeding.
The blind cavefish (Astyanax mexicanus) is a sightless version of a popular aquarium species, the Mexican tetra. They live in 29 deep caves scattered throughout Mexico, which their sighted ancestors colonised in the middle of the Pleistocene era. In this environment of perpetual darkness, the eyes of these forerunners were of little use and as generations passed, they disappeared entirely. They now navigate through the pitch-blackness by using their lateral lines to sense changes in water pressure.
But there is a deceptively simple way of restoring both the eyes and sight that evolution has taken, and Richard Borowsky from New York University's Cave Biology Research Group has found it. You merely cross-bred fish from different caves.
Unlike their completely eyeless parents, the hybrids develop eyes, albeit ones that are smaller than those of their relatives on the surface. More amazingly still, many of them could actually see, as shown by their ability to reflexively follow a series of moving stripes.
In the most successful inter-cave cross, over a third of the offspring had working eyes. And if the blind fish were bred with surface ones, every single one of their offspring could see. Not bad for a lineage that hasn't seen light for over a million years!
The hybrids' restored eyes are a reflection of the genetic changes of their parents. Eyes are very complicated structures and their development is governed by a whole suite of genes. In a previous study, Borowsky found eye genes in twelve different places around the genome of one cavefish population. Mutating any of these could interfere with the production of a working eye, which means that there are many ways of evolving blindness.
Fish populations from different caves have each taken their own individual route, involving changes to different combinations of genes. Based on his new data, Borowsky thinks that this happened on at least three independent occasions, with each group losing their eyes through changes in three or four of the twelve key sites. But in the hybrids, every faulty gene from one parent was compensated for by the working version from the other.
Borowsky also found that two fish had a greater chance of producing a hybrids if they hailed from closer caves. That suggests that fish from neighbouring caves are more closely related than those from distant ones and have more similar genes underlying their blindness.
UPDATE: And in the first piece I wrote for Nature News, it turns out that blind cavefish may not be so blind after all.

Google VetNet Hosts Career Week 2021
Updated 05 May 2021 | Robert Haynes
So, you may have heard of Google. They're kind of a big deal on the Internet. But did you know that Google has a Veterans Network? Neither did I.
VetNet is Google's veterans networking program designed to assist veterans, military spouses, and service members by providing tools, support, and resources to begin or advance their careers.
Google VetNet Career Week 2021
From June 22nd through June 24th, Google's VetNet will host their 2021 Career Week, which is a virtual three-day event that will include panels covering functions of industry, "fireside" chats with corporate level executives from Google and other companies, hands-on training, and 1:1 resume reviews with members of Google's team.
Each day is themed:
22 June – Career Tools
23 June – Inspirational Leadership
24 June – Applying What You Learned
On day one, starting at noon (EDT), Google will open with a welcome kickoff and LinkedIn profile recommendations. Do not skip over the LinkedIn piece – at many of the career fairs I've attended, you often get to connect your profile to some heavy-hitters in the recruiting and hiring fields. (That's called "networking"!)
Over the following 5 hours, there will be concurrent seminars, 3 each hour, and you will choose which one you wish to attend each hour. Topics will include:
Functional Paths for Veterans and MilSpouses in the areas of Business, Engineering, and Tech
Deep Dives into the industries of Healthcare, Technology, Gaming/Entertainment, and more.
These seminars will feature panelists from the following companies:
Proctor & Gamble
So many more!
The panelists featured in these seminars are C-Suite executives for their respective companies, and they have a ton of advice and experiences to pass on to all attendees.
RELATED: Building Your Veteran Network
Inspirational Leadership
Day two, again starting at noon, has three major events.
The first is a fireside chat with Amy Goldfinger, the Senior Vice President of Global Talent at Walmart, and Lisa Geveleber, Vice President of Grow with Google. They will discuss the value veterans and military spouses bring to the corporate workforce.
This will be followed by a fireside chat with Alex Gorsky, the CEO of Johnson & Johnson, and Ruth Porat, the Chief Financial Officer for Alphabet/Google. They will discuss organizational leadership throughout the global pandemic.
The final event of the day is very exciting! This executive panel, called The Keys to Successful Entrepreneurship, will feature the following panelists:
Amy McDonough, GM & Managing Director at FitBit
Todd Connor, CEO of Bunker Labs
Bethany Coates, CEO of BreakLine
Don Foul, CEO of Athos
The panel will discuss entrepreneurship, starting your own business, and working for a startup. These executives will share their stories of starting their own businesses, the lessons learned from their failures, and things to consider when taking on a new venture.
Apply What You Learned
On this final day of Career Week 2021, there are three main events.
You will have the opportunity to connect with a Googler for 20-25 minutes for a personal resume review and discussion about careers.
Additionally, there will be a session discussing learning and certificate programs that can help set you up for a new career.
Finally, there will be a "Navigating Next Workshop", which is powered by Shift and will likely cover the next steps you should take in your adventure.

Jio opens Mobile Number Portability, urges incumbent telcos to fulfil regulatory obligations
Clearly, RIL wants more and more people to switch to Jio already, which may not be very good news for incumbent telecom operators
UPDATED: September 5, 2016 15:25 IST
Mukesh Ambani-led RIL's much-ambitious Jio 4G has officially been launched. The Jio services will be rolled-out for all, starting from September 5 -- under the name of Welcome Offer -- and will be free to use until December 31, 2016. Ahead of D-day, RIL has called out to incumbent telecom operators to play fair and fulfil their regulatory obligations. The company hopes that rival companies will work in consonance with Jio to achieve PM Modi's vision of a Digital India.

"Jio looks forward to co-operation and working together with the industry to achieve the vision of Digital India," the company said in a statement. "We appreciate the announcements made by the incumbent operators welcoming us to the industry and assuring that they will fulfil all their regulatory obligations. We expect the incumbent operators to fulfil their regulatory obligations in letter and spirit," the company added.
As part of its free Welcome Offer, it is also possible to port in an existing mobile number to Jio. Clearly, RIL wants more and more people to switch to Jio already, which may not be very good news for incumbent telecom operators. Anyone can now use Mobile Number Portability or MNP to switch to Reliance Jio without changing their exisiting number. RIL also details the step by step process for the same on its official website:
-- To port in, send PORT Mobile Number to 1900 from your existing number which needs to be ported to Jio.
-- Download MyJio app from Play Store and generate offer code.
-- Walk in to any of the Reliance Digital / Dx Mini / Preferred Jio retailer or prominent multi-brand Jio stores with the port out code and your Free Welcome Offer code along with the handset.
-- You will need to submit a copy of Proof of Address, Proof of Identity and a photograph for availing your Jio SIM.
That being said, Jio test users are facing huge interconnect and MNP issues, according to the company. "Incumbent operators have maintained that once Jio intimates DOT and TRAI of its commencement of services in accordance with the License conditions, they would provide adequate inter-connection facility to Jio as per Jio's requirements and Mobile Number Portability facility. We expect and hope that following commencement of services by Jio, the incumbent operators would fulfil their obligations to provide adequate interconnection and MNP facility," RIL explained.
Now that Jio has intimated the Department of Telecommunications (DOT), Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and the security agencies regarding the commencement of its wireless telecommunication services in all 22 service areas from 5 September 2016, the company expects rival telcos to, again, fulfil their obligations. The ball is now in their court, now that Jio is up and running.

As a part of Jio's Welcome Offer, users can enjoy unlimited HD voice & video calling, unlimited SMS, high-speed data and access to a host of Jio premium apps till December 31, 2016. Post December 31, 2016, they will need to opt for a tariff plan to continue using its services. Jio's tariff plans are such that the company would charge users for data only. "Domestic voice calls to any network across the country would be always free for Jio subscribers. Considering certain misinformation propagated in the media, the company reiterates that domestic voice calls to any network across the country, both in local as well as while roaming nationally, will be completely free for Jio subscribers forever i.e. even beyond 1 January 2017 - the data used for the voice calls will also neither be charged nor deducted from the data balance of the subscriber," the company said.

As children, we're taught early about the necessary evil know as "cleanup". This dreaded chore follows all known forms of fun and enjoyment, and haunts us as badly as the monster in our closet. As adults, however, we get smarter, and design tools to make the most tedious tasks easier. At AJC Tools, we think we even find ways to make them enjoyable.
Whether it's a new house being built, an old house having its roof replaced, or your neighbors erecting a taller fence, construction sites are everywhere. Any construction site needs to be kept clean throughout the process, and a final cleanup will be necessary. Leftover nails and screws pose obvious safety concerns, and liabilities. If the construction site is residential, it's especially imperative to know that there's no risk of someone getting a nail through his or her foot after you leave the site. That's just bad for business. Loose screws or nails often find themselves a home in the contractors' tires, so proper cleanup can prevent costly tire repairs as well.
One industry in particular that demands proper site cleanup is residential roofing. Roofing requires a lot of nails, and roofers are often in such a hurry that many nails end up falling to the ground. This is especially true for sloping roofs. Many residential roofers now rely on magnetic sweeper tools to make site cleanups a breeze. There are many types of this tool, and here at AJC Tools, we proudly offer fine examples of each.
AJC's rolling magnetic sweeper features a heavy duty stainless steel box and a quick release handle design, allowing the user to dump nails easily and effectively. The user is able to quickly cover a large area (ours is 30 inches wide) and ensure it will be free of nails and any other metals. Some variations of this tool have a rake attachment designed to pull nails that are embedded in grass and turf. We've upgraded our exclusive design with heavier duty stainless steel, stronger wheel brackets, and increased the wheel size to 7". With a fold-over handle, it still fits neatly in any storage space.
There are also spring loaded, hand held magnetic sweepers that magnetically collect nails on a stainless steel box, which are then released over a dumpster or garbage can. These are not as wide as a rolling sweeper (ours is ten inches wide), but work great for cleaning up spaces where the wide rolling sweeper would be overkill. These tools greatly reduce cleanup time, and remove a much higher amount of metal than manual cleanup.
For even smaller, confined spaces, there are more appropriate magnetic sweepers, such as our mini magnetic sweeper (four inch diameter). This round sweeper tool is great for cleaning out gutters or other hard to reach spots, or even loading up your nail bag. It is practically guaranteed to prevent unneeded backaches and complaining from your crew.
Usually, a contracting company will utilize a variety of these tools, depending on the application. For really big jobs we even have our full line of forklift magnetic sweepers. Ours are extremely solid and perfectly engineered to easily attach to your forklift. Remember, having the appropriate tool for each job is the best way to get the job done quickly and correctly.
An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a colleague who had been doing a little research on this. And he in fact ordered me lunch because I stumbled upon it for him... lol. So allow me to reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this topic here on your site.


The public-private partnership between Georgia Ports Authority (GPA), Murray County and CSX Transportation was established in 2015, to construct the Appalachian Regional Port in Chatsworth. Its service area will include North Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and parts of Kentucky. There will be direct rail access to the new inland port, which will expand access for domestic and international shippers.
Port officials estimate the CSX rail route will reduce Atlanta truck traffic by 40,000 moves annually, creating a new intermodal option to and from the deepwater Port of Savannah. Each container moved by rail to the Appalachian Regional Port will offset 355 truck miles on Georgia highways. The inland port being located in an industrial belt, can support increase production and export of carpet and flooring, automobiles and tires, make those commodities more competitive in the global market. Moving more containers to rail will also reduce carbon emissions.
Illya Copeland, who previously was executive director of the Joint Development Authority of Jeff Davis County, Hazlehurst and Denton in south Georgia, is working with businesses interested in opening in Murray County. He is also setting up industrial parks in Murray County. Mr. Copeland will provide updates since the 2015 announcement, as well as plans for the port.
