Profession MechWarrior
Natasha Kerensky (trueborn 2973[3] – died 7 December 3057[4], aged 84 years), also known as The Black Widow, The Queen of Spades, and many other appellations, was a MechWarrior from Clan Wolf. She can trace some of her ancestry back to a former member of Clan Widowmaker (a survivor of that Clan's absorption).[5] Immensely successful and famous, she was widely regarded as the best and deadliest MechWarrior of the 31st century, with the possible exception of Kai Allard-Liao.
She earned her reputation as leader of the Black Widow Company but returned to her Clan when the Clan Invasion began, where she quickly rose to the rank of Khan.
SibkoEdit
The location of Natasha's sibko is unknown but it is known that she was sibkin with Cyrilla Ward.[6]
Clan warriorEdit
The information available about Natasha Kerensky reaches back to 3000 when she was a Star Captain commanding a Trinary in the elite 328th Assault Cluster of Clan Wolf. In this time the unit achieved notable victories over Clan Diamond Shark on Paxon and over Clan Jade Falcon on Eden. Both Jaime Wolf and Joshua Wolf served under her command, the latter upon her request to replace casualties her command had suffered against the Diamond Sharks. A bond of friendship developed between her and the freeborn brothers.
Kerensky's career stalled after her promotion to Star Colonel in 3003. Several high-profile assignments eluded her due to her impatience with politics, and her success on the battlefield curiously led to her unit being eliminated in biddings early on to stiffen the bidding process.
Wolf's DragoonsEdit
In 3004 she joined Wolf's Dragoons during their long-term intelligence mission into the Inner Sphere, leaping at the opportunity to see combat duty even though it involved a de-facto demotion to Point Commander, serving under the command of the brothers Wolf. Natasha Kerensky quickly rose through the ranks of Wolf's Dragoons. During the unit's employment with the Federated Suns, she apparently came to the attention of a young Hanse Davion.[7] At some point (circumstantial evidence suggests during the employment with the Capellan Confederation between 3010 and 3014) she and Joshua Wolf became lovers.[8]
After 3014 the Dragoons were in the employ of Duke Anton Marik in the Marik Civil War. One of the first targets of Duke Marik was Nova Roma, where Lieutenant Kerensky and her heavy lance operated in June 3014 in conjunction with the Bounty Hunter and his team. After the Bounty Hunter had inspected a steep ravine and declared it safe to pass, Kerensky's lance entered and fell to a loyalist ambush. Only herself and Colin Maclaren survived and the Bounty Hunter salvaged their 'Mechs, including Kerensky's Marauder, which became the Bounty Hunter's iconic 'Mech in his remarkably successful career.[9][10] (See also Notes below.)
Shortly afterwards, Natasha Kerensky accepted command over a special Dragoon company composed of criminals, misfits and troublemakers. Promoted to Captain, she forged them into an effective fighting unit that saw action on Emris IV, Matheran, Calloway VI, Semenyih, Tiber, McKenna, and New Delos.
The Black WidowEdit
In 3015, Wolf's Dragoons fell out with their current employer, Duke Anton Marik, who subsequently took Joshua Wolf and 27 other Dragoon personnel hostage and later killed them.
As the Dragoons attacked Duke Marik on New Delos in a retaliatory strike it fell to Natasha Kerensky's band of malcontents to break through the defensive line of burning forests. In a frenzied all-out attack they razed the stronghold and killed Anton Marik in their fire-blackened 'Mechs. After the final battle on New Delos, Captain Natasha Kerensky emerged as the self-styled "Black Widow" and had command over her own, semi-independent sub-unit of Wolf's Dragoons, the notorious Black Widow Company.
From then on, the Black Widows were the Dragoon's most active raiding force, often operating independently from their parent unit. They were also typically spearheading assaults in the thick of any major Dragoon operation. As commander of this unit, the "Black Widow" became a living legend akin to the Bounty Hunter. During this time she usually piloted a jet black Warhammer that became as infamous as its pilot, the mere sight of which persuaded many foes to flee rather than face her.[11]
She fought with the rest of the Dragoon's in Misery, Glenmora, and Crossing.[12]
On 16 December 3031 it was announced that Natasha Kerensky had been promoted to Colonel, and her unit was expanded to Battalion size. The Black Widows were the first Dragoon unit to return to combat duty after the devastating losses Wolf's Dragoons had incurred on Misery and in the subsequent Fourth Succession War.
TsinghaiEdit
In 3031, Tsinghai planetary rules hired the new Black Widow Battalion to defend their world after discovering from the compromised SAFE spy network on planet that it was a target of the Duchy of Orloff. In 3032 during the midst of the Andurien Secession, hawkish members of the Parliament who had felt Captain-General Janos Marik had not done enough during the Fourth War pressured his regent Thomas Marik to take some proactive action against the Steiner-Davion alliance. Unwilling to commit the untested 4th Free Worlds Guards in subduing the Anduriens, Thomas attempted to both appease the hawks in parliament and give the unbloodied unit a chance to prove itself, allowing the Fourth's commanding officer Colonel Veena Ligacescu to launch an attack against the Sarna March world of Tsinghai in February. With intelligence indicating only minimal resistance, success seemed a foregone conclusion. [13] [14][15]
Much to the new Fourth's shock, the planet was defended by the also newly reformed Black Widow Battalion. Natasha Kerensky led the sub-unit of the Wolf's Dragoons and effortlessly proved their elite status by shattering the Fourth so badly that the survivors chose to defect to Federated Commonwealth rather than return home to the League. As they feared, Captain-General Janos Marik was enraged by this betrayal, and the disgraced Fourth Free Worlds Guards were permanently disbanded and struck from the rolls of the FWLM.[13] [14] [15]
KujariEdit
A minor border world in 3033, Kujari was considered a possible target for invasion by Chancellor Romano Liao following conflicts on a number of nearby worlds including Wallacia, which suggested that the local region of space was unstable. Romano elected to deploy an all-mercenary force to avoid damaging any of her regular CCAF units, choosing to send four battalion-sized mercenary units to probe the world: McCrimmon's Light Cavalry, Rivaldi's Hussars, St. Cyr's Armored Grenadiers and Steele's Eagles, with overall command of the operation going to Colonel Donovan Steele of Steele's Eagles.[16]
Unfortunately for the Grenadiers, Romano's invasion force would face the Black Widow Battalion led by her, as Kujari had been used for some time as a base of operations for the Black Widows. Steele elected to attack using a bold, aggressive plan similar to those used by Wolf's Dragoons, a plan that was largely predicted by Kerensky from the outset. Despite a contested landing, the four mercenary commands managed to link up, but couldn't bring their numbers to bear against the Black Widows, and the campaign finished in defeat when Kerensky deceived many of the mercenaries into believing that her forces had left the planet, only to then launch a decapitation raid against the Eagles. Kerensky prevailed over Colonel Steele in a duel besting his Marauder and called on him to surrender. Steele not only surrendered, he also led his unit to defect to the Federated Commonwealth rather than face a vengeful Romano Liao.[16]
Training CadreEdit
In 3035 they were recalled to the Dragoon homeworld of Outreach to serve as a training cadre for a new generation of Dragoon MechWarriors for the next seven years.
Return to the ClansEdit
When the Clan invasion into the Inner Sphere took place in 3049, she left the Dragoons to take her place amongst her fellow Bloodnamed Clan Warriors – notable as being the only member of the Clan in either the Dragoons or its offshoot Snord's Irregulars to answer the Grand Council's official recall order. Among Wolf's Dragoons, her unit, the Black Widow Battalion, was replaced by the Wolf Spider Battalion.
Upon Ulric Kerensky's elevation to ilKhan of the Clans, she was named Khan of Clan Wolf in his stead.
" History has often taught us that the path to victories in the future is not to rush into battle like the Smoke Jaguars or the Jade Falcons. Where they rush into battle, charge where angels fear to tread, we know that victory is a matter of stalking one's prey. The hunt, the pursuit, the methodical wearing down of one's foe, that is often the key to victory. Let the Falcons say what they will about Ulric Kerensky. We shall show them how true Warriors achieve victory! "
— Khan Natasha Kerensky addresses her 352nd Assault Cluster before the Battle of Colmar
Death and legacyEdit
Khan Natasha Kerensky, leading the prestigious 13th Wolf Guards, died in December 3057 in single 'Mech combat against Star Commander Joanna of Clan Jade Falcon in the Great Gash on the planet Twycross while fighting a rearguard action to cover the retreat of her unit. The Jade Falcons left Kerensky's fallen BattleMech (a Dire Wolf called Widowmaker) in its place as a monument to an exceptional person who was widely respected, even by her former enemies.
Decades after her death, Natasha would become a gene-mother to Anastasia Kerensky.[17] Anastasia would echo the same path as her ancestor by carrying the Kerensky Bloodname, becoming a mercenary leader of the Wolf Hunters and later the saKhan of Clan Wolf.
BattleMechsEdit
Natasha Kerensky is chiefly associated with the jet black Warhammer that she piloted throughout her career as the Black Widow.
It is not known what 'Mech(s) Natasha Kerensky piloted in her early days as a MechWarrior.
She piloted a Marauder on Nova Roma that was famously salvaged by the Bounty Hunter, who used it as his signature 'Mech for a long time.
After returning to the Clans, she claimed a Timber Wolf that was the property of Vlad Ward[citation needed]. By the time of her death in combat on Twycross she piloted a Dire Wolf with a custom configuration.
Personal InformationEdit
The death of Joshua Wolf, her lover, in 3015 apparently pushed Natasha Kerensky over the edge and turned the already formidable MechWarrior to a cocky, sometimes almost suicidal lifestyle on and off the battlefield for decades to come. Like her entire Black Widow command of criminals and discipline cases she displayed borderline psychotic behavior and could kill at a whim, inside or outside her Warhammer. Violent bar fights that could even result in deaths occurred regularly. When Fadre Singh admitted during questioning following his capture on Misery that he had leaked critical information to the enemy, she simply shot him in the presence of the Dragoon command staff even while Jaime Wolf still raised his hand to hit Singh. She uttered a line, revealed later as a quote of Nicholas Kerensky, "Those who break faith with the Unity shall go down into darkness." Nicholas had uttered those same words when ordering the Annihilation of Clan Wolverine.
Apocryphal Content Starts
The information after this notice comes from apocryphal sources; the canonicity of such information is uncertain.
Please view the reference page for information regarding their canonicity.
At one point during the Dragoons' employment with the Draconis Combine just prior to 3028, Gideon Braver confronted Natasha Kerensky with false accusations about having attacked Ander's Moon. She denied the accusations and a bar fight broke out; only the interventions of a MIIO operative saved Gideon Braver from a very severe beating. (Since this event is depicted in the storyline of a computer game, the canonicity of this information is disputed.)
Apocryphal Content Ends
Within Wolf's Dragoons she held the rank of a mere Captain (in command of the Black Widow Company) for a long time, but was highly respected and in fact commanded the authority of a Battalion commander or better; in tactical meetings she was respected as an equal by Regimental Colonels among the Dragoons. When all Regiment and Battalion commanders assembled for the seppuku ceremony of Minobu Tetsuhara at the conclusion of the Misery campaign she was present as well[18].
She spoke Russian and was known to curse in that language when a combat situation was complex.[19]
" Train your young boys well, because otherwise they won't get past this old woman. "

While there is much fan speculation that Natasha piloted 'Mechs with advanced Star League technology in her early career with Wolf's Dragoons, there are no canon references to support this. Her Marauder, captured by the Bounty Hunter in 3014, was upgraded by him following a Periphery mission in 3015 with equipment from a Star League cache uncovered during that mission.[21] Her iconic Warhammer is a stock WHM-6R, maintained in perfect condition.[22]

RunLoop (short)
Hey everyone, just thought I'd put up this version of a track I'm doing for an upcoming iOS game. I can't tell you too much about the game, but I WILL say that it involves vikings, and running. Lots of running. Think 'canabalt'. What do you guys think? I've kind of run out of ideas, and it's not really as long as I was hoping for...
This was made exclusively using software called 'musagi'. It's free.
This used to loop perfectly, and for some reason NewGrounds has decided not to let it any more. So, sorry about the crappy looping quality, I don't know why it's doing that. The actual audio file still loops just fine.
EDIT: I tried making a brand new NewGrounds audio upload and re-uploading the track and it STILL doesn't loop properly! But it does loop properly offline...
High-quality .mp3 and .wav files from the soundtrack will be coming SOON to a bandcamp page.
As always, leave a rating and comment; they're both appreciated!
CrateBoxer
Awesome stuff. You mention it's for a Canabalt like game, which makes a lot of sense considering that's about the closest thing I can compare it to. Which, considering just how much I love Danny B's stuff, is quite a compliment.
Great work, look forward to hearing more.
GnomeSlice	responds:
Hey, and thanks for the listen!
I'm glad to hear that my efforts at getting the feel of a running game into this paid off! The menu track is up now if you're interested in giving it a listen. Your review is much appreciated, and thanks for listening! =]
danielmartin566
Good stuff so far! I'd say go back to it in a day or two with fresh ears, the piece has a drop off at 35secs and is waiting to get built back up or pushed even further than the first time. Depending how long you want the finished piece don't worry about taking your time to build up again there's already a good momentum in there! Keep at it man.
Hey there! Thanks for listening!
Yeah, I agree, I was trying to cram as much ENERGY into this track as I could, and I think I got even more than I was expecting. Basically what I'm stuck on now is trying to think of a melody or two to extend the piece further, and have a piece with a few distinct sections separated by segments of the basic beat, like is currently at the 'end' of this version.
Thanks for the review, it's appreciated!

A Different Shade of Bigfoot: The White Thang and Pennsylvania White Bigfoot
Darcie Nadel
Darcie is a graduate student who spends her free time writing and learning everything she can about cryptozoology, aliens, and the unusual.
One unique breed of Bigfoot sightings that stand out are those that are white in color. They stand out for being uncommon, as well as physically standing out because of their coloring. Here are two white Bigfoot legends: the White Thang and the Pennsylvania White Bigfoot.
This is actually artwork of a Yeti, but you get the idea. | Source
The White Thang
The legend of the White Thang - and yes, that is spelled correctly - has been prevalent in the areas of Alabama between Morgan, Etowah, and Jefferson Counties (sighted in Happy Hollow, Walnut Grove, Moody's Chapel, and Wheeler Wildlife Refuge in particular) since the 1930s. It possibly goes back even further than this, as there is supposedly a legend of an early settler family near Collinsville who boarded up their cabin's windows in order to prevent the White Thang from entering their home during the night. But regardless of when and where the stories actually started, since that time, various people have reported seeing a creature covered in white hair, and standing more than seven feet tall.
The early tales of this creature claimed it ran on all fours and climbed trees. It would then lay in wait for people to walk beneath its hiding place, before pouncing on its unsuspecting victim. It is known for moving extremely quickly despite its size. This story later evolved to a creature that walked upright. Despite these early stories, many people claim that the White Thang is non-threatening. However, they are still scared by its scream, which has been described as sounding like either a woman or a baby crying. Some witnesses who report these noises say they were particularly unsettled when they saw the creature make it, especially - and quite understandably - in those cases where witnesses reported it screaming in their face while standing over them. Alternatively, some witnesses have described this scream as sounding more like a panther.
Specific details of the White Thang vary from witness to witness. Some of these witnesses claim to not be able to make out any details of the creature. Others have claimed it has no eyes or ears, in addition to being completely white. Still others have said it looks like a bear with the head of a lion. One witness has even claimed the White Thang could shapeshift, and that they saw it change from the size of a chicken to the size of a cow.
There are people in Alabama who are willing to put their names to sightings of the White Thang (or perhaps more accurately, the names of others). Peter J. Gossett, who runs a website on Winston County history, was told a story by his aunt, Feneda Martin Smith. He recounts her story:
"Old man George Norris...seen it over there in Enon Graveyard, and he said it looked like a lion...you know, bushy, betwixt a dog and a lion. It was white and slick with long hair. It had a slick tail, down on the end of the tail a big ol' bush of hair. He lent up against a tree and fell asleep. When he woke up the sun was just rising, and the 'white thang' was laying right beside him, and it was looking at him. He said it didn't offer to hurt him or nothing."
There are a couple different speculations on what the White Thang might actually be. On the side of a plausible explanation, some have speculated it might be a large albino bear. On the more creative side, it's been speculated to be an albino Bigfoot, an apparation, or even an interdimensional being. And as with many sightings of this nature, some have also speculated the White Thang is an alien humanoid.
Pennsylvania White Bigfoot
The Pennsylvania White Bigfoot is a creature that was first seen in Blakeslee, Pennsylvania in 1970. A witness who was identified as Annette B. claimed it was between six to seven feet tall, with a broad chest, long neck, and dirty white fur. She recounts her experience:
"Its eyes were dark and spaced far apart. Its [white] hair covered the lower half of its face. There was pinkish skin around the eyes and forehead. It looked like its hair was a little longer on its head and hanging over its forehead like bangs."
Artist rendering of early reported sightings. | Source
A few years later, on September 27, 1973, two girls in Beaver County, Pennsylvania were out at night when they saw an eight foot tall figure. It was covered in white fur and had red glowing eyes. The creature than ran into the woods, carrying a large glowing orb with it. One of the girls' fathers went into the woods later on to find this creature, but was unable to locate it after an hour, and decided to give up.
A possibly related incident occurred that same year. Near Uniontown, Pennsylvania, a glowing orb appeared. At about the same time, two Bigfoot-like creatures were seen in a pasture.
Illustration based on the orb sighting in 1973. | Source
The most notable sighting occurred in 2010 in Carbondale, Pennsylvania. It's noteworthy mainly because there was video footage to go along with the claim. During this time, residents had supposedly been reporting sightings of a white-furred Bigfoot. One local man heard movement in his backyard and was able to capture footage of the creature he saw.
Throughout the same year, residents of Carbondale supposedly also began to report sightings of a juvenile white Bigfoot - though how they could tell it was a juvenile is anyone's guess - and heard strange noises coming from the woods.
MK Davis, the man who contributed to a supposed debunk of the Honey Island Swamp Monster, posted a stabilized version of the Pennsylvania White Bigfoot footage. Scott Carpenter, on his blog The Bigfoot Field Journal, used this stabilized footage as part of his analysis of why this sighting is a hoax. He came to this conclusion:
"In my opinion this is a hoax. Some thought went into this to make it look realistic and believable. The person put on white make up, then put on some sort of white jacket. On the head a white mesh material was used that fit very tight. Using a flash light with a video camera was the perfect way to cover any flaws and only showing the subject from the waist up. Since no mask was used facial expressions and reaction to the light would be look very natural. Jerking the flash light also made the subject appear like it moved very fast."
The general consensus fits with Carpenter's analysis, but others insist there are elements of realism in the video that couldn't be duplicated with a costume.

Media groups warn govt
by Dave D October 20, 2020 October 20, 2020
Media organisations and academics have called on the government not to violate the freedom of the press after reports emerged that five online outlets face legal action for breaching the state of emergency.
The government is also said to be planning to block the Telegram messaging app as anti-government protesters switched to it after police moved to shut down their Facebook accounts.
Several local media organisations spoke out after the leaking on Monday of an order issued by the government's joint Centre for the Resolution of Emergency Situation (CRES).
They included the National Press Council of Thailand, the News Broadcasting Council of Thailand, the Thai Journalists Association, the Thai Broadcast Journalists Association, Online News Providers Association and the National Union of Journalists Thailand.
The CRES order had declared: "As it appears there are television broadcasts of contents deemed to threaten national security or good morals by presenting certain contents from Voice TV, Prachatai.com, The Reporters, The Standard and Free Youth movement, the national police chief, who is in charge of resolving the serious emergency situation thus orders the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) and the Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry to examine and suspend the broadcast or delete those contents from the computer system in line with their authority and responsibility."
In their joint statement, the local media organisations said they were opposed to any forms of media freedom suppression by any side and urged the government not to abuse the law by silencing the media.
They warned that restricting people's access to information could prompt more people to join the protests and make the political situation more delicate and susceptible to violence.
They condemned any use of media outlets to distort facts or provoke violence and urged their peers to make sure that their coverage of the political situation was comprehensive and without bias.
The Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand (FCCT) also join the opposition, saying it was "deeply concerned" by the censorship threat, and that it "makes the government appear heavy-handed and unresponsive to criticism, and could stir up even more public anger".
"Bona fide journalists should be allowed to report important developments without the threat of bans, suspensions, censorship or prosecution hanging over them," the FCCT said.
Their concern was echoed by lecturers at Thammasat University's faculty of journalism and mass communications. It issued a statement opposing the government move, insisting that access to information was a basic right and the government should let the media do its job independently.
DES Minister Buddhipongse Punnakanta said none of the named five media outlets had been banned or taken off the air following the order.
"Initially the NBTC or agencies concerned will ask them over for talks and urge them to be careful," he said. "But the messages [deemed inappropriate and still on the website] should be deleted."
He also explained that live-streaming of anti-government protests was not banned but that broadcasting controversial speeches and defamatory remarks should be avoided. Asked if they would face closure as penalty, he said any punitive action would be taken step by step.
Putchapong Nodthaisong, the DES Ministry deputy permanent secretary, said the ministry has monitored and examined social media posts from Oct 13-18 and it deemed that more than 324,000 items violated the computer crime law and state of emergency.
Mr Putchapong reportedly asked the NBTC to order internet providers and mobile operators to stop disseminating any information which violated the emergency decree, and to delete it.
National police chief Pol Gen Suwat Jangyodsuk said the order to examine the media outlets was intended to target any content deemed to incite public disorder. He also stressed that no media outlets had so far been closed down or taken off air.
The five targeted media outlets on Monday issued statements insisting their reporting had honoured media ethics.
Thapanee Eadsrichai, a founder of The Reporters, said on Facebook the outlet was still operating.
Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal Region 1 on Monday awarded 200,000-baht bail to three protest leaders — Parit Chiwarak, Panusaya Sithijirawattanakul and Nutchanon Pairoj, co-leaders of the Khana Ratsadorn (People's Group) — in connection with an anti-government rally at Thammasat University's Rangsit Campus in Pathum Thani on Aug 10.
Dusit Kwaeng Court on Monday granted 20,000-baht bail to 19 protesters including Jatupat "Pai Daodin" Boonpatararaksa, following an anti-government protest at Democracy Monument on Oct 13.

Reflections Around the Campfire: National Park Service Centennial Postage Stamps - Still Available!
National Park Service Centennial Postage Stamps - Still Available!
Have you seen the National Park Service stamps?! They are GORGEOUS! As part of the year-long celebration of the National Park Centennial (1916 – 2016), the United States Postal Service issued a sheet of 16 "Forever" stamps in June of 2016 that depicts views of National Parks or plants, animals, artwork, objects, and structures found in or associated with a National Park.
Represented are Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Mount Rainier National Park, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, Acadia National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Assateague Island National Seashore, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, Arches National Park, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Kenilworth Park & Aquatic Gardens, Bandelier National Monument, Everglades National Park, Haleakalā National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Carlsbad Caverns National Park, and Gulf Islands National Seashore. The image in the center of the sheet is a detail of the one cent Yosemite postage stamp that had been issued in 1934. Take a look at these stamps, my friends.

Supermarine, a Custom Motorcycle Inspired by Mobula Stingrays
By Azka Kamil October 18, 2021 No comments
A custom motorcycle showroom based in Vietnam, Bandit9 revealed to the world one of the most ambitious projects to date. Named Supermarine whose inspiration comes from under the sea. It's like a vehicle coming out of another galaxy.
Over the past decade, Bandit9 has created a unique handmade motorcycle with a futuristic design. Even the results can not be juxtaposed with custom iron horses on the market. They spent a year working on this model. Yes, they did not receive an order in 2020 and only focused on working on this one big project.
Finally in October 2021 Bandit9 launched Supermarine. Many are fooled by that name. But it is not wrong also if many associate with submarines or submarines thanks to their rounded shape. The inspiration of the body actually looks like a water animal named Flying Mobula or stingray mobula. Sea creatures are known to love to penetrate the surface of the water while swimming, making it look like flying.
Designed to be a fast engine, it allows the Supermarine to cut through air easily. The frame is inspired by coral reefs, increasing airflow on straights and downforce around corners. There are 400 components that are cut with precision with the latest technology.
The shape of the body or body panels that stick is very flowing, from front to back. Offered in two material options, ABS plastic is racing-specific or uses a carbon fiber body for Supermarine. The overall frame is made of military-grade 7075 aluminum, commonly used for the manufacture of aircraft structures.
Bandit9 also offers two options for its engines. Use a parallel two-cylinder mechanical heart from Triumph that has a capacity of 900cc and 1,200cc. Thus, the motor that comes with a 900cc engine is capable of producing 74 hp, 59 Nm of torque, and a top speed of 120 mph (193 kph). Or a 1,200cc engine that is more powerful and can produce 103 hp and 83 Nm of torque, making the Supermarine capable of reaching a top speed of 130 mph (209 kph). This motorcycle has a standard five-speed transmission. However, riders can choose to upgrade to a six-speed gearbox.
Other features include electronic fuel injection, a stainless steel exhaust system that can be upgraded to titanium and Nitron or Ohlins suspension. The stopping power required at that speed, comes from the 4-piston Brembo brake or the more powerful Behringer 6-piston brake. A special LED display is tucked in the cockpit.
Bandit9 has now opened bookings for Supermarine. But potential customers should contact the company to determine the price. But based on the previous build, the expected starting price is more than $30,000. And deliveries begin in December 2021.

Soybean Rust Develops 'Rolling' Epidemics as Spores Travel North
Research team found that spores went farther in hot and windy conditions, and stayed closer to the canopy in humid, wet conditions
By University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences | September 05, 2017
Soybean rust is a fungal disease that affects soybeans in the southern US, where it overwinters and creeps northward during the growing season. A new University of Illinois study explains short-distance transport, but has implications for long-distance spread.Photo credit: Glen HartmanURBANA, Ill. - Although Midwestern soybean growers have yet to experience the brunt of soybean rust, growers in the southern United States are very familiar with the disease. Every year, the fungus slowly moves northward from its winter home in southern Florida and the Gulf Coast states, and eventually reaches Illinois soybean fields—often just before harvest.
Research shows there is a possibility the disease could jump much longer distances and reach the Midwestern soybean crop earlier in the growing season. Studies suggest that air masses moving from the south could sweep up rust spores from infected plants (kudzu or soybean) and transport them hundreds of miles north earlier in the season, potentially endangering the Midwestern soybean crop.
This could be happening right now as the storm system that created Hurricane Harvey moves north, according to Glen Hartman, a USDA Agricultural Research Service plant pathologist and professor in the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois. After all, hurricanes have been responsible for long-distance movement of rust spores in the past; scientists think Hurricane Ivan brought soybean rust to the United States from Colombia in 2004.
Although long-distance movement can and does happen, short-distance spore movement has been responsible for most of the annual northward spread of the disease since 2005. Hartman thinks this short-distance movement has been occurring as usual this season and, barring any unusual fallout from Hurricane Harvey, he expects to see rust showing up in Illinois soybean fields late in the 2017 season.

It is this short-distance movement that intrigues Hartman; he says predictions of long-distance spread haven't taken real-world spore movement into account. Without knowing the number of rust spores that actually escape from the canopy and the conditions that favor spore dispersal, long-distance spread models could be inaccurate. So, in a recent study, Hartman and his colleagues placed two kinds of spore-collecting traps in, around, and above rust-infected soybean fields in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. The team also measured environmental data, including air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation, and leaf wetness.
The majority of spores stayed within the canopy, but a proportion (one-third to one-half) floated above. Spores moved laterally away from the field, too, but most stayed within 50 feet, with about half as many moving out to 200 feet.
These numbers explain how short-distance spread of this disease typically works. Rust might spread within a field, then jump to a nearby patch of its alternative host, kudzu. Considering how much kudzu is spread around the south, it's a good bet another soybean field is within a couple hundred feet. From there, it jumps again, moving incrementally to the north. In an average summer, Hartman says, soybean rust rolls up from the south at a rate of about 30 miles a day.
Hartman's study also identifies environmental factors that favor or impede short-distance movement of rust spores. Using a statistical approach known as machine learning, the team found that spores went farther in hot and windy conditions, and stayed closer to the canopy in humid, wet conditions.
"What really drives local infection is humidity and moisture," Hartman says. "Those are good conditions for fungal infection and production of spores. When it rains, it washes the spores out of the leaf lesions, so they're not available for long-distance transport. But then the fungus just forms new spores that are ready for transport on a dry and windy day."
The study explains short-distance transport, but how do the results inform predictions of long-distance movement?
"I think the study gives a good idea of rust spore counts in the atmosphere in and above the soybean canopy and a distance away from an infected field. There is a lot of variation in the number of spores in that air space," Hartman says. "If you think of the airspace beyond the field, the dilution factor is huge."
In other words, the chances of spores making it out of the canopy and picked up by updrafts for long-distance movement might be lower than assumed. And the chances are lower still if you consider what it's like for spores to survive in high-elevation air currents.
"Spores in these high-elevation air masses are exposed to temperature extremes and to UV radiation. Not many spores survive that, although those that are darkly pigmented may have a better chance. Soybean rust spores have very little pigment, and lightly pigmented spores are very susceptible to UV," Hartman says.

Backing up to a secondary drive on Import? Absolutely. Highly Recommended.
However, here's where people have told me they've gotten burned by not really understanding what that means. For example, they imported some images say…three or four months ago. They made collections, edited a bunch of images, added keywords, the whole nine yards. One day their computer's hard drive crashes (hey, it happens), so they go to their secondary backup drive (the one where they auto-backed up their images on import — see above), and thankfully their original images are there.
However, none of their final images will be there, or images they edited using a Lightroom plug-in, or PSDs or TIFFs that they edited in Photoshop, and none of their sorting, editing, metadata, keywords are there either (those edits are stored in your Lightroom catalog, which is gone, just like the images on your crashed computer). So, unless you backed up your Lightroom catalog (here's how), and at some point you manually replaced that original secondary backup folder with a more recent one, you're basically having to start over from scratch.
So, what's on that secondary drive?
Your digital negatives, just as they were the day you originally imported your images. That's it. Lightroom doesn't go and update that secondary backup drive ever. It literally is a copy of the images from your camera's memory card the day you imported them, and that's it, but the photographers in this bind have told me they assumed it somehow kept everything up to date. That images they saved, or editing in Photoshop, or a plug-in, etc., would also be on that backup drive. They're not.
I also back up my Lightroom catalog daily, to a separate hard drive, so all my edits are intact in case I ever need them. It helps me sleep at night. I help this helps you, too.
P.S. If you're thinking of joining us in Orlando for the Photoshop World Conference (May 31-June 2), our host hotel (The Hyatt Regency) is filling up fast, so get your rooms right now (last year, we sold out the entire hotel, and folks had to stay off-site. Stay where we're all staying — at the Hyatt). Here's the link with our room discount for attendees.
Very clear, very helpful, thank you!
Does this include when you are using smart previews in lightroom, while keeping the raw image/data on the external hard drive?
How about avoid copy to a second drive during initial import. Rather, set up a scheduled backup to back up the images and catalogs periodically to a second drive? This will save time during the initial impart, as well as backup the latest images and catalogs from the appropriate folders.

Jason Belmonte
Belmonte Achieves Childhood Dream of 100 x 300
By Lynne Clay
At just 10 years of age, Jason Belmonte surprised and amused his parents Aldo and Marisa when he told them that his goal in the sport was to bowl 100 perfect games.
Now 37, and with 13 Major titles under his belt, Belmonte has achieved that remarkable milestone.
He shot the historic 300 game on Tuesday evening in the second round of qualifying of the 2021 KIA PBA Tournament of Champions, currently underway in Jupiter, Florida and currently sits second on the leaderboard behind American Tom Smallwood.
Averaging 249 after the first 12 games of qualifying, Belmonte trails Smallwood by 211 pins, with another 12 qualifying games scheduled to resume Wednesday morning, local time. After 24 qualifying games, the top 24 players advance to a further 24 games of matchplay with the top 5 bowlers then advancing to the live-televised stepladder final on Sunday, 28 February local time.
After a strong first block, defending ToC champion, Kris Prather struggled in the second round, dropping to tenth in the standings, while fresh from his recent success in the 2021 Players Championship, Kyle Troup advanced to third after today's second block.
The 2021 KIA PBA Tournament of Champions also offers players the chance to win a million-dollar bonus if a perfect game is shot in the title match of the tournament. Through a partnership between the PBA and broadcast partner FOX, the $1 million bonus is on the line on three more occasions this season: the KIA PBA Tournament of Champions, the PBA World Championship and the PBA Super Slam.
Belmonte is one of only three bowlers on the PBA Tour who have won the Tournament of Champions title three times – a victory and fourth ToC title would be another 'first' highlight of Belmonte's record-breaking career.

Bowiea volubilis subsp. volubilis is a much-branched climber. Here its soft green stems have managed to ascend a few metres up a thorn tree in the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden to form a dense mass well above the ground. Where no tree or shrub is available, it would develop a similar wiry mass on the ground or over rocks. It copes well in partial shade or dappled sunlight.
The plant has admired ornamental qualities and is planted worldwide. Locally it is sought after for an extensive list of traditional medicinal applications. Growing it from seed is easy. Do it to help secure the future of this plant in cultivation, as its future in nature is increasingly uncertain (Pooley, 1998; www.plantzafrica.com).

WI vs AUS: Australia's last 6 wickets fell for 19 runs, lost the match
WI vs AUS: Australia's last 6 wickets fell for 19 runs, lost the match, West Indies became 'Juggler' in the first T20 match
Sometimes the easy-looking thing gets deceived and the same was seen in the first T20 played with the Australian team against the West Indies.
The one who wins a losing game is called a juggler. And, the West Indies team has shown some similar juggling against Australia. He has snatched the morsel of victory from Australia's mouth. He has shown the losing bet under his control.
Australia's team did not make 24 runs in 7 overs. That too when the wickets were in hand. The momentum of the match was with him. But, that is the thrill of cricket. That is why this game is said to be one of the uncertainties. The victory that West Indies had almost given up on, fell in their lap. Australia lost the match and became a juggler, West Indies took a 1-0 lead in the 5 T20 series.
In the match, West Indies batted first and scored 145 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs. Australian bowler Hazlewood played a big role in stopping the Caribbean team within 150 runs, who took 3 wickets for 12 runs in 4 overs.
Considering Australia's batting power, the target of 146 was not a big one. But, sometimes the simple-looking thing gets deceived and the same thing happened with the Australian team.
Australia had a win
Australia's first wicket fell in the second over itself. But after that, the innings got better. Victory seemed certain. His score till 10.2 overs was 108 runs for 4 wickets. That is, victory was just 38 runs away. With 6 wickets in hand, and about 10 overs left, the task looked even easier. But, taking it lightly cost Australia dearly.
Australia's 6 wickets fell for 19 runs
The next 6 wickets of the Australian team, playing 108 for 4 wickets, fell for just 19 runs. As a result, he lost the match he won. The entire team was bundled out after scoring just 127 runs and lost the match by 18 runs. The hosts West Indies were delighted.
The name of the Caribbean bowler who turned Australia's victory into defeat was Obed Macaulay, who took 4 wickets for 26 runs in 4 overs in the match. Apart from this, Hayden Walsh took 3 wickets.
➡ Australia 4/108 (10.2) in their run chase, needing 38 from 58 to win
➡ All out 127, losing 6/19

USDA to update bovine TB regulations
WASHINGTON – The US Dept. of Agriculture recently proposed creating surveillance standards for bovine tuberculosis (TB) and brucellosis.
The new standard would mean states and tribal nations would no longer be categorized by the disease prevalence, and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) would no longer rely solely on whole-herd depopulation as a means of controlling the spread of disease.
Brucellosis and bovine tuberculosis are contagious diseases caused by bacteria that affect cattle, bison, deer, elk and other animals. The presence of these diseases negatively affects animal health, animal production and international trade, APHIS said.
Depopulation is the sole means used to control the spread of these diseases. But APHIS said a new standard is necessary because livestock herds are larger today compared to herd sizes in the past when the rule was first developed. Using whole-herd culls are no longer feasible. The proposed rule calls for APHIS to establish standards for disease surveillance, epidemiological investigations and affected herd management.
This means that states and tribes would develop and implement an animal health plan outlining how they will meet those standards, APHIS explained. States and tribes would be categorized by whether they have an animal health plan, whether APHIS has approved this plan and whether they are following the protocols outlined in their plan. Additionally, infected herds would be tested on a periodic basis, and any animals that test positive would be removed from the herd.
"By using program compliance rather than disease prevalence to determine statuses in the proposed rule, states and tribes will no longer run the risk of status downgrades and state-wide restrictions and testing requirements when sporadic cases may appear," APHIS said. "Rather, they can focus their disease control efforts on specifically designated herds or areas."
The agency noted that wildlife in certain parts of the United States can carry brucellosis and bovine TB and can reintroduce them into domestic herds of any species.

Kevin Gates stays relentless on new song "Intro Edition": Stream
Hard-hitting track follows this past spring's Chained to the City project
by Lake Schatz
on July 16, 2018, 2:01pm
Kevin Gates
Kevin Gates was released from prison in January after serving nine months for felony gun possession. Since then, he dropped a three-song single, Chained to the City, this past spring. Today, he's returned with another hard-hitter in "Intro Edition".
The new offering finds the Baton Rouge-bred rapper putting it down for nearly five minutes straight. Relentless and savage, Gates peppers the track with LeBron James references and constant reminders that he's packing "big ammunition." There are gun shots sounds firing off in the background, but the focus is all on the MC — even the beat is held back until the 1:00 mark.
Take a listen below.
Per MissInfo, Gates is currently working on his forthcoming album, I'm Him.

I am a huge accessories fanatic. If you look at my closet, you'll see that I own way too many purses and an ample amount of necklaces and bracelets. There is one accessory in particular that I have been loving and can usually wear with whatever outfit I have planned.
Alex and Ani bracelets caught my eye last summer. I saw tons and tons of girls wearing these stack-able bracelets in shiny golds and silvers. I love how they can be personalized and tell you a lot about what someone loves! From baseball teams, colleges, birth stones, to sayings such as "everything happens for a reason", the Alex and Ani bracelets surely give customers a variety to choose from.
If you have seen some of my photos, you may recognize that I am often wearing two or three of my favorite Alex and Ani bracelets! I own a total of four. I have my initial, 'A' bracelet, a lotus flower, a 'BFF' bracelet, and a 'Love' bracelet.
I got a few of my bracelets as gifts and while on vacation. They cost between $24 and $32. I also love giving them as gifts because they are so unique!
Do you like these bracelets? How would you wear them?
I've just recently discovered Alex & Ani and I am in love! So cute and affordable!
I've been seeing those everywhere! I NEED some in my life! Such a cute post!

Behold This Very Posh River North Penthouse Listed for $2.5 Million
The top-floor stunner has taken four price reductions since March.
In a city full of skyscrapers, it costs a pretty penny to rise above the crowd for sweeping skyline views. And while a building's upper-floor units are often the most coveted, not all penthouses are created equal.
Case in point: unit 2401 in River North's 28-story Grand on Grand. The 4,200-square-foot pad includes access to a private elevator, custom finishes, and — the biggest selling point — breathtaking sight lines.
"The building sits in the middle of River North and the views are unobscured," says broker Michael Rosenblum. "All of Chicago's pinnacle buildings like the Sears Tower, Hancock Center, and others are all within the sightline as you move around the floor plan."
The penthouse also boasts nearly 2,000 square feet in wraparound terrace space, landscaped with birch, pine trees, and shrubbery to give the unit an outdoorsy feel. "You can imagine it snowing and looking out your window and seeing the skyline with these snow-covered trees," Rosenblum says.
Other noteworthy features include a stainless steel chef's kitchen, a walk-in closet, and four indoor parking spaces. It also has its own storage room on the building's fourth floor.
Public records and press clippings indicate that the owner is Stephen Honeyball, a UK-born trader and art collector. In 2011, Honeyball told the Chicago Tribune that he wanted a look that was "open and lofty with a mix of raw elements but still clean and polished." Rosenblum says that Honeyball owns multiple homes and spends little time in Chicago.
Honeyball first put up the property in March with an asking price of $3.75 million, according to listing records. The penthouse has taken four price reductions since then, most recently in the last week of October. Currently, he's asking $2.5 million.

Parksville man pleads guilty to neglect of dog
The man has been told he has been banned from owning animals for 10 years; dog has been adopted by Vancouver family
Candace Wu
Oct. 15, 2015 5:00 p.m.
A 23-year-old Parksville man has been banned from owning animals for 10 years after forcing a 14-month Alaskan Malamute to live in what SPCA investigators called "deplorable" conditions in a home along Corfield Street.
Nathan Boire pleaded guilty last week in Nanaimo Provincial Court to causing an animal to continue to be in distress.
SPCA senior animal protection officer Tina Heary said constables found the female dog named Effy being forced to live in a shed covered in feces and urine.
"There were countless mounds of excrement," said Heary, noting it was difficult to determine how long the dog lived in such conditions. "Some of the waste matter was old and mouldy, some were fresh piles, there was urine throughout the area… It was certainly difficult for us to walk in there without (stepping in) it."
Heary said the case illustrates "profound neglect" of an animal.
"One of her legs was swollen at a joint, angled irregularly," she said. "She was not walking on the pads of her feet, she was trying to walk on her knuckles."
Heary said the owners admitted the dog had never been to a vet and voluntarily surrendered her to the SPCA.
Heary said the dog has since underwent surgery for her untreated fractures, but there are still many unanswered questions.
"Obviously something happened to her," she said. "There's the element of her being in pain and suffering but also being kept in the shed with cold cement floors, feces and urine everywhere, it was dirty and filthy with a sopping wet dog bed to lie in… some things are just inexplainable."
Heary said the dog has since been adopted out to "a loving family" in the mid-Vancouver Island region. "We appreciate that people phone us, otherwise we don't know what is happening in the backyards and basements of properties," she said. "We depend on others to report animal neglect or cruelty when they see it."
To report an animal in distress including wildlife call the toll free Animal Cruelty Reporting Hotline at 1-855-622-7722.
The B.C. SPCA was created under the auspices of the provincial Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and is the only animal welfare organization in B.C. that has the authority to enforce laws relating to animal cruelty, and to recommend charges for Crown Counsel for the prosecution of individuals who inflict suffering on animals.
