Jennifer Jennette has the perfect career. As a yoga practitioner and instructor for over 13 years, Jennette decided to start a line of designer clothes that complemented yoga and natural living. The daughter of a scientist, master gardener and artist, Jennette knows better than anyone how important the earth is to maintaining health and happiness. After considerable research, she found the perfect mate to yoga – natural, breathable clothes made out of nature's finest fabric, hemp. Her company is called Surya Leela Designs.
The Marijuana Times: Why did you decide on using hemp-based material in your designs?
Jennifer Jennette: I was looking for eco-friendly knit fabrics to pair as leggings and tank tops with a woven flax linen skirt I was making. I found several sources that offered hemp/organic cotton blends as well as soy, bamboo and recycled polyesters. After researching the sustainability of all of those fibers, I found that hemp, like flax, was the most environmentally friendly, requiring the least amount of water and chemical processing.
MT: Is there a significant difference in the texture and durability of hemp as opposed to more conventional, widely available fabrics?
JJ: There's definitely a difference in texture and durability of hemp fabric. Hemp has a wonderful nubby texture when blended with organic cotton in knit fabrics and lends great durability, especially in woven textile. Hemp is an extremely versatile fiber and can be used to make many different types of fabrics as well as many other products like twine, paper, and edibles like hemp seed and hemp oil which are high in omega fatty acids, very beneficial to the human body. Other plant-based fabrics, like rayon and viscose, take quite a bit of chemical processing, unlike hemp. So, when using those fabrics you have to be very careful to find out how the mill processes the waste from making the fabric and what kind of chemicals are used in breaking down the bast fiber itself.
MT: Do you believe that hemp would make a contribution if grown in the United States for replacing or complementing existing fabrics?
JJ: Yes, definitely. In fact, right now in North Carolina they have passed a law enabling farmers to grow hemp. There are some trial studies being done and I have a friend who is working with the NC Regulatory Committee to promote hemp growth and manufacturing in our state.
MT: Do you find any other benefits of hemp as related to yoga?
JJ: Hemp is a sturdier plant that needs far less water and pesticide than a crop like cotton, for instance.
All matter has a particular ionic charge. In terms of energy or Chi, hemp has positive ionic charge, and plant fibers are infused with life force, unlike synthetics. That's kind of esoteric, but you can actually test it with people and see that it is strengthening rather than negating, like synthetic products.
As more and more people begin to understand the importance of how nature can benefit our lives, people like Jennifer Jennette are providing examples of how contributors, like hemp, are essential in daily living.
Jennifer also shared knowledge of a new site, currently under development, called Hemptsy.com, that will promote hemp products. Watch for this one in the coming future.

Swiss drug maker, Roche, released details of the contents of the counterfeit Avastin found in 19 U.S. cancer clinics.
Swiss drug maker, Roche, released details of the contents of the counterfeit Avastin that may have been purchased by 19 U.S. cancer clinics.
The vials were sold and re-sold over six times from Egypt to the United Kingdom to the United States, before distribution through an unauthorized distributor who sold medications to 19 American cancer clinics. While the original report was that the medication did not contain the active ingredient, Roche has now revealed that their tests picked up traces of ten substances, including starch, salt and the solvent acetone, used to remove paint, reports CBS News.
Roche said it was unclear if the substances would cause harm to the patients.
British regulators confirmed that 41 vials of fake Avastin were shipped to the U.S. and only five have been recovered, reports the Washington Post.
While starch and salt are common to biotech drugs, acetone is not, because it doesn't have a medical use, said Dr. Philip Cole of Johns Hopkins University to the Washington Post.
Reuters reported that in addition to the acetone, starch and salt, the other components were citrate, isopropanol, propandiol, t-butanol, benzoic acid, di-fluorinated benzene, acetone and phthalate moiety.

Q: How to Correctly Cancel a TPL Task with Continuation I have a long running operation which I am putting on a background thread using TPL. What I have currently works but I am confused over where I should be handling my AggregateException during a cancellation request.
In a button click event I start my process:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Utils.ShowWaitCursor();
    buttonCancel.Enabled = buttonCancel.Visible = true;
    try
    {
        // Thread cancellation.
        cancelSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
        token = cancelSource.Token;

        // Get the database names.
        string strDbA = textBox1.Text;
        string strDbB = textBox2.Text;

        // Start duplication on seperate thread.
        asyncDupSqlProcs =
            new Task<bool>(state =>
                UtilsDB.DuplicateSqlProcsFrom(token, mainForm.mainConnection, strDbA, strDbB),
                "Duplicating SQL Proceedures");
        asyncDupSqlProcs.Start();

        //TaskScheduler uiThread = TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext();
        asyncDupSqlProcs.ContinueWith(task =>
            {
                switch (task.Status)
                {
                    // Handle any exceptions to prevent UnobservedTaskException.
                    case TaskStatus.Faulted:
                        Utils.ShowDefaultCursor();
                        break;
                    case TaskStatus.RanToCompletion:
                        if (asyncDupSqlProcs.Result)
                        {
                            Utils.ShowDefaultCursor();
                            Utils.InfoMsg(String.Format(
                                "SQL stored procedures and functions successfully copied from '{0}' to '{1}'.",
                                strDbA, strDbB));
                        }
                        break;
                    case TaskStatus.Canceled:
                        Utils.ShowDefaultCursor();
                        Utils.InfoMsg("Copy cancelled at users request.");
                        break;
                    default:
                        Utils.ShowDefaultCursor();
                        break;
                }
            }, TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext()); // Or uiThread.

        return;
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        // Do stuff...
    }
}

In the method DuplicateSqlProcsFrom(CancellationToken _token, SqlConnection masterConn, string _strDatabaseA, string _strDatabaseB, bool _bCopyStoredProcs = true, bool _bCopyFuncs = true) I have
DuplicateSqlProcsFrom(CancellationToken _token, SqlConnection masterConn, string _strDatabaseA, string _strDatabaseB, bool _bCopyStoredProcs = true, bool _bCopyFuncs = true)
{
    try
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < someSmallInt; i++)
        {
            for (int j = 0; j < someBigInt; j++)
            {
                // Some cool stuff...
            }

            if (_token.IsCancellationRequested)
                _token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
        }
    }
    catch (AggregateException aggEx)
    {
        if (aggEx.InnerException is OperationCanceledException)
            Utils.InfoMsg("Copy operation cancelled at users request.");
        return false;
    }
    catch (OperationCanceledException)
    {
        Utils.InfoMsg("Copy operation cancelled at users request.");
        return false;
    }
}

In a button Click event (or using a delegate (buttonCancel.Click += delegate { /Cancel the Task/ }) I cancel theTask` as follows:
private void buttonCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        cancelSource.Cancel();
        asyncDupSqlProcs.Wait();
    }
    catch (AggregateException aggEx)
    {
        if (aggEx.InnerException is OperationCanceledException)
            Utils.InfoMsg("Copy cancelled at users request.");
    }
}

This catches the OperationCanceledException fine in method DuplicateSqlProcsFrom and prints my message, but in the call-back provided by the asyncDupSqlProcs.ContinueWith(task => { ... }); above the task.Status is always RanToCompletion; it should be cancelled!
What is the right way to capture and deal with the Cancel() task in this case. I know how this is done in the simple cases shown in this example from the CodeProject and from the examples on MSDN but I am confused in this case when running a continuation.
How do I capture the cancel task in this case and how to ensure the task.Status is dealt with properly?

A: You're catching the OperationCanceledException in your DuplicateSqlProcsFrom method, which prevents its Task from ever seeing it and accordingly setting its status to Canceled. Because the exception is handled, DuplicateSqlProcsFrom finishes without throwing any exceptions and its corresponding task finishes in the RanToCompletion state.
DuplicateSqlProcsFrom shouldn't be catching either OperationCanceledException or AggregateException, unless it's waiting on subtasks of its own. Any exceptions thrown (including OperationCanceledException) should be left uncaught to propagate to the continuation task. In your continuation's switch statement, you should be checking task.Exception in the Faulted case and handling Canceled in the appropriate case as well.
In your continuation lambda, task.Exception will be an AggregateException, which has some handy methods for determining what the root cause of an error was, and handling it. Check the MSDN docs particularly for the InnerExceptions (note the "S"), GetBaseException, Flatten and Handle members.

EDIT: on getting a TaskStatus of Faulted instead of Canceled.
On the line where you construct your asyncDupSqlProcs task, use a Task constructor which accepts both your DuplicateSqlProcsFrom delegate and the CancellationToken. That associates your token with the task.
When you call ThrowIfCancellationRequested on the token in DuplicateSqlProcsFrom, the OperationCanceledException that is thrown contains a reference to the token that was cancelled. When the Task catches the exception, it compares that reference to the CancellationToken associated with it. If they match, then the task transitions to Canceled. If they don't, the Task infrastructure has been written to assume that this is an unforeseen bug, and the task transitions to Faulted instead.

Beads, the Bead Trade and State Development in Southeast Asia
Beads are some of the few remaining traded objects to be found along the immense silk routes. Like ceramics, they also reveal innovations in the development of their means of production, as well as changing tastes and uses. Four types of beads have been found in Southeast Asia: 1. Indo-Pacific monochrome beads (2nd century BC to 1200 AD), which were made by Indians and Tamils; 2. Segmented, folded and mosaic eye beads (9th – 11th century AD), which originated in the Islamic West; 3. Java beads (10th century AD), consisting of a variety of shapes and designs, often made from sintered or low-fired glass; 4. Chinese beads (12th – 17th century AD), primarily made in Shantung Province and Canton, using a winding process, and which later contained lead.

All designs may be customised using our exclusive on-line editor to bring that distinctive feel to your shower invites. I just adore this very simple design. Employing translucent or clear accents in your infant shower invites is just an enjoyable approach to have a distinctive design just for you as well as your new baby on the manner.
JulietBurke Baby Boy, 2019-01-16 01:43:53. The shower is going to be 1uite an affair. Baby showers aren't always traditional. Unfortunately, the baby shower invite wording is among the most significant parts of the party. You just found out you're pregnant and you're attempting to determine when you wish to have the baby shower. Who you invite the baby shower depends upon the sort of baby shower you desire. Include instructions that in the event the invitee is not able to attend the baby shower they can still send their baby advice via the mail. Choosing the baby shower invitation wording is the initial step in planning the ideal baby shower of all-time.
JulietBurke Neutral, 2019-01-16 01:43:53. Planning The first step in arranging a block party is to select a date and location. The very best thing about theme parties is they provide you with an opportunity to be creative. You may select from some good costume parties. Even in case you make handmade cards or gifts, you will likely not have the capacity to convey precisely what you desire to say. Monogrammed cards add some elegance. Photo birth cards take a bit more time to finish since just the most suitable picture needs to be taken! Photo birth announcements cards are now quite common.
JulietBurke Baby Boy, 2019-01-16 01:43:53. You can produce the invitation as simple or as complicated as you need and according to your budget. You can also buy bulk invitations at a neighborhood store. The invitation provides the very first hint of that. Once you have the invitations from the way, then the rest needs to be smooth-sailing. Whichever way you decide on, I indicate that you print your invitations on a thicker card stock for a greater quality invitation. Before you select your baby shower invitations, consider your theme carefully. It's possible to just make your own homemade shower invitations.
JulietBurke Neutral, 2019-01-16 01:43:53. As soon as you complete the invitation, we take care of your entire guest list. Finally, the most crucial issue is the invitations that you must not forget. It's usually more affordable than buying invitations at the shop. You may send email invitations or card invitations but among the most popular methods of inviting is with the aid of video Invitations.


It's finally my turn to make wonderful homemade juice!
My wonderful friend "D" asked me if I wanted her juicer. She thought it took up too much of her small kitchen space and she wasn't using it.
OF COURSE!!! was my fast reply. I have been wanting a juicer now for a couple of years, but with my hubby studying, there are more pressing monetary priorites, you know… like rent, insurance, power.. all those boring things!
And luckily for me, it was exactly the model I had been eyeing myself!
My new kitchen friend next to my BEST friend!
So far one of my favorites is this beet juice with lots of colour and power and I just love that it's sweet and ginger-fresh at the same time!
My hubby thinks it's a bit strong though, so I add a little extra apple juice for him and the princess. You could also just add water, to dilute it a bit if the taste is too strong for you.
Fresh and delicious juice with a PANG!
Step 1 Juice all the ingredients, preferably with the ginger in between the fruit/veggies.
Step 2 Add ice and serve with a straw.
Testing before buying is always good!
It's a wonderful way to test if I will actually use a juicer enough to warrant buying one. My hubby tends to complain that my kitchen-gadgets take up too much room compared to how often I use them.
Pish-posh…. Shall we go have a look at your toolshed honey!?
What i love about this Philips model, is that the juicing hole (sorry but there's no other way to say that…) is very large, so you can fit whole fruits in there. I do peel them though, but there's no need to cut into bits and so on. And I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to clean. I mean it's not magical, and cleans itself, but it was easily rinsed off and easy to wipe as well.
Now I just have to think about something to do with all that leftover pulp…. Any ideas???
Do you make your own juice?? What is your favorite recipe?

First Settlers Region, as we are known today, enjoys a rich heritage spanning more than 60 years!
It is our hope that, by joining us, you have become an integral part of our spectacular history. First Settlers has always embodies the principle" it's not just the cars, it's the people. In fact, it's because of our active, fun-loving membership that we continue to grow. When first chartered in April 1959, there were approximately 12 active members. By the end of 1986, the Region had grown to 311 active members.
As of March 1, 2015 there are 603 active members! Along our journey, First Settlers has achieved several milestones and celebrated its values with many events and activities.
Listed below are some key milestones and achievements in our history. And with you, we're looking forward to continuing this journey with our favorite marque, Porsche.
• September 13, 1955 – The Porsche Club of America was officially founded by Bill Sholar & friends in the Washington, D.C. area.
• March 31, 1959 – A petition for recognition or our Region as a chartered club of the Porsche Club of America was submitted by Allen B. Fine. The name of the club was to be "PCA, Richmond Region" with the county boundaries of Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield, Powhatan, Goochland, Dinwiddie, and Prince George. The original officers were: President, Allen B. Fine; Vice-President, Dr. Willard M. Fitch; Secretary-Treasurer, George W. Patterson III. In addition to the President, known members of the club were: Fred M. Johnson Jr., Thomas W. Allen, Julia C. Baylor, Dr. Willard M. Fitch, Edgar A. Jett II, Jack D. Lewis, Wendell B. Powell, Dr. C. N. Richards Jr., Neal Sykes Jr., George W. Patterson III, and Lt Robert Miller.
• April 22, 1959 – The original charter was granted by PCA. In 1964, the name of the region was changed to the "First Settlers Region" and as the region grew, its membership extended to the west to include counties in West Virginia.
• February 1965 – the official boundary of FSR was expanded to include all counties east to the Chesapeake Bay and south to the North Carolina border for a total of 36 counties.
• June 1971 – First Settlers held its first DE event at Virginia International Raceway. About 30 Porsches gathered for the event.
• In 1980, the Blue Ridge Region was chartered, split off from First Settlers and included counties in western Virginia and southern West Virginia.
• In 1986, First Settlers Region had grown to 300 Primary Members.
• In 1993, the current First Settlers Logo was approved and adopted.
• In 1995, fifteen years after the Blue Ridge Region was chartered, the Shenandoah Region was formed from the counties above the Blue Ridge Region and west of First Settlers Region to the West Virginia border.
• March 9, 1999, PCA assigned seven unassigned Virginia counties to First Settlers Region.
• 2009 – First Settlers reached 500 primary members.
• 2009– First Settlers Region celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a spectacular 50th Anniversary Gala held at The Tides Inn resort in Irvington, Virginia.
• 2010 – First Settlers initiated The Air & Auto Show as one of its annual events. This very popular concours event is held at The Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach. Well over 100 vehicles enter to be judged and attendance is typically well over a thousand. The event is a major fundraiser for our charities.
• 2011 – Turkeys in the Trunk became a fundraising event for The Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia. This popular event asks members to pack their Porsche with all the fixings for a Thanksgiving dinner. Participants gather at Checkered Flag Porsche for a weigh-in. The food is delivered in a Porsche caravan to the Mayflower Marathon collection point. Prizes are awarded for the most pounds and members celebrate afterwards at a social event.
• 2011 – First Settlers introduced its new member recruiting card. The card is placed under the windshield wiper of Porsches inviting the owner to join us at one of our events.
• 2011 – First Settlers was the runner-up for PCA's Region of the Year Award.
• 2011 – First Settlers won PCA's Best Web-site Award.
• 2011 – First Settlers grew to 600 primary members.
• 2012 – First Settlers was chosen Region of the Year by PCA.
• 2013 – First Settlers won the PCA Community Service Award for raising funds through several charity activities and distributing $30,000 to its designated charities.
• 2015 – First Settlers won PCA's Web-site Award: 1st Place Class IV
• 2016 – First Settlers won PCA's Web-site Award: 2nd Place Class IV; Region's Public Service Honorable Mention Award

In summary, First Settlers Region continues to grow and to offer its members a great membership experience through a full calendar of events and activities. The member benefits and the opportunities to develop friendships and camaraderie support Porsche Club of America's statement that "it's not just the cars, it's the people".
Some of these events are:
Porsche in Flight
A two-day plus event in Crewe, Virginia. The event consisted of a concours, autocross, dinner and rally. The event continued for nine consecutive years until 1986 when the airport site was unavailable. Porsche in Flight returned to Crewe in 1989 and continued for a few years more before being discontinued due to location issues.
Patriots Weekend
This event ran from 2004-2008. This fun-filled event was held at the Ramada 1776 in Williamsburg, and it consisted of an air show at Oceana Naval Air Station on Friday afternoon and a concours on Saturday morning. A fun run/tour was held on Saturday afternoon, followed by a dinner that evening. To top the weekend, an autocross event was held on Sunday. This event continued through 2008.
Porsches and Pancakes
These very popular monthly breakfast gatherings are our longest running events. First Settlers has grown to four monthly breakfast meetings with locations in Chesapeake, Williamsburg, Richmond and Fredericksburg.
First Settlers conducts two DE events each year at Virginia International Raceway. These popular events help members to better understand the capabilities of their cars and become better drivers. Additionally, these events generate revenue to support other region activities.

Delta North MLA Ravi Kahlon. (Photo submitted)
'We must each do our part to protect each other from COVID-19'
Delta North MLA Ravi Kahlon discusses steps government is taking to reduce burden on B.C. residents
Apr. 2, 2020 1:16 p.m.
The COVID-19 pandemic challenges our health, our economy and our way of life. Never before has our community faced a challenge like this one.
I want to thank everyone in Delta for what you have been doing. It's making a difference.
I also want to remind people in Delta that we must step up to prevent the spread of the virus, and I want to share the ways our provincial government is stepping up to support people, businesses, and workers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As Premier John Horgan told British Columbians last week, "these are uncharted territories for all of us, but together we'll get through this."
Making sure that people are able to stay safe and stay home during this extraordinary time means making sure people can pay their bills and provide for their families. This is why last week the B.C. Government announced that British Columbians affected by the COVID-19 pandemic will benefit from $5 billion in income supports, tax relief and direct funding for people, businesses and services.
For immediate support for British Columbians whose ability to work has been affected by COVID-19, a $1,000 payment is available through the new BC Emergency Benefit for Workers, in addition to the significant supports offered by the federal government, which include up to $2,000 a month for workers who lose their income as a result of COVID-19. Other measures include boosting the B.C. Climate Action Tax Credit, freezing student loan repayments for six months, and allowing payment deferrals for ICBC and BC Hydro customers.
To help people who are struggling to make rent, we are also halting evictions, freezing rent increases, and offering a new rental supplement that will provide those who need it up to $500 a month per household toward rent and ensure landlords continue to receive some rental income.
To protect workers and ensure nobody feels compelled to work while sick, it is now illegal for anyone in B.C. to lose their job for following the advice of the Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, during the COVID-19 crisis.
We're also helping businesses stay afloat by allowing them to defer the Employer Health Tax, PST and other tax payments to the province until Sept. 30, 2020, and by reducing other taxes, such as the school tax.
These are just a few highlights of the first steps we are taking to protect and support British Columbians during this pandemic, and to lay the groundwork for B.C.'s longer-term economic recovery. We are continually looking at ways we can do more.
We are asking British Columbians to step up to prevent the spread of this virus. We must each do our part to protect each other from COVID-19, which impacts people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. We know COVID-19 can make many people very sick, and we're still learning about how early people infected with the virus can become contagious. This is why if we can we must stay home, wash our hands frequently, practice physical distancing, and follow the orders of Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry throughout the pandemic.
My Delta North community office is providing services and support to our community via phone and email, and is able to answer questions about how to access the new supports offered by the provincial and federal government. At the bottom of this letter there is a list of key websites and phone numbers for learning more about COVID-19 in B.C., and the supports that are available.
I am incredibly proud of the ways our community has come together during this crisis. People are doing their part by staying home, practicing physical distancing, and supporting their families, neighbours and communities from afar. The coming months will not be easy, but I know people in Delta are up to the challenge. Thank you to every community member, health care worker, grocery store worker, and essential service provider for doing what you can. Whether you are serving the community by working on the front lines, or serving the community by staying home, thank you.

Can Thompson defy injury to guide Warriors to NBA Finals?
1 year ago Jeffrey Clark
Klay Thompson made a successful return to the NBA court for the Golden State Warriors after an agonizing 941-day layoff due to two devastating knee injuries.
Thompson suffered a torn ACL during the Warriors' defeat to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 NBA Finals and was subsequently ruled out of the next campaign. The point guard was on the comeback trail for the Warriors in 2020 with the hope of returning to the court in the latter stages of the 2020/21 season, only to then suffer an Achilles' tear that would rule him out of action for another 14 months.
After his significant layoff, Thompson would have had doubts as to whether he would ever return to the court, but Steve Kerr kept the faith in the 31-year-old and Thompson made his comeback for the Warriors with a 17-point performance in a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Golden State struggled in the two seasons without Thompson, while Steph Curry was plagued with injuries since the team's last appearance in the NBA Finals resulting in a two-year period of struggle.
Return To Prominence For Golden State
The Warriors appear to be on their way back to the Finals with Curry operating at the peak of his powers once more, while Thompson's on the road back to becoming the All-Star he was before injuries stymied his career. Thompson will be a vital player down the stretch for Golden State and could be the difference between success and failure. The Warriors have attempted to fill the gaps with indifferent talent since his injury and it has had an effect on their performances on the court.

Thompson is the not first major sportsperson to suffer a serious injury and certainly will not be the last. At the time of his injury, Thompson was one of the best players in the NBA, and returning to that level will be a challenge for the 31-year-old, especially considering his age. Golden State will need him near his best to beat out the challengers in the Western Conference and then the winner of the Eastern Conference in the Finals.
The Warriors are backed in outright Betway NBA betting odds at a price of +500 to win the crown after an outstanding first half of the campaign. It would be fitting if Thompson could push them over the edge on the court to return Kerr's men to their dominant ways of old when they appeared in the Finals for five-straight seasons, winning three NBA Championships in the process.
Comeback Kings
He could emulate other greats of the modern sporting era to overcome injury problems to win a title. Tiger Woods' career seemed to be over after a litany of back-related injuries, which included missing all four majors in 2016 and 2017. He returned to the golf course in 2018 and displayed gradual improvement before he rose to the top of the sport once more with a brilliant performance at the 2019 Masters to win the Green Jacket for a fifth time, ending his major drought of 11 years.
Peyton Manning endured a similar injury layoff to Thompson as he missed the entire 2011 NFL season with the Indianapolis Colts. Before undergoing neck surgery, Manning had established one of the greatest careers by a quarterback in the history of the NFL, winning a Super Bowl along with four MVP awards during a 12-year stretch. However, his neck injury threatened his career and the Colts believed that their future seemed brighter in the hands of Andrew Luck rather than the veteran. At the age of 35, Manning entered an uncertain future in free agency.
See also The different schedule for the US Grand Prix
However, he signed a lucrative deal with the Denver Broncos in 2012 and was back to his best immediately. Two years removed from his injury, Manning broke the NFL record for passing touchdowns and yards in a single season. He then ended his career on the highest of notes by winning Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos. The Colts certainly regretted allowing Manning to leave the franchise as the heir apparent to the Hall of Famer Luck retired ahead of the 2019 campaign due to injury problems of his own.
What Will Thompson Achieve?
The Warriors must be careful not to expect too much too soon from the 31-year-old. Fortunately, the franchise has Curry operating at an MVP level, while Andrew Wiggins has also been a standout performer for Kerr's men this term. Younger players such as Jordan Poole and Kevon Looney have also been impressive and have carried their weight and more on the court.
The introduction of Thompson into the fold will give opposing teams another headache regarding their defensive strategy. It will take time for Thompson to return to his All-Star caliber performances, but after five months of regular-season action, he should be at a level to make a decisive impact, come the playoffs.

As previously discussed, it is unclear how much of the Northern Zone enclosure system endures into the mid-Roman period (Figure 161). This is particularly true for that part east of Road 1 where only very partially investigated within Excavation Areas G and R south of the watercourse. Given that the subdivision of this area of the settlement is uncertain during Period 3, it is all the more tenuous for the mid-Roman period, with little evidence either supporting or refuting this. This part of the Northern Zone could as easily have a differing or no subdivision during Period 4, though for ease of reference as much as anything the open areas are retained in the following description.
The apparent distribution pattern of pits within OA34 is largely a product of excavation bias - more pits were excavated in the northern part of the area, where they were clearly defined against the brickearth and pre-excavation plans indicate that pits were scattered all across this part of the site (Excavation Area G) (Figure 161).
Originally regarded as an elongated pit, it seems more likely that 7270/7389 is the terminal of a north-south aligned ditch. Indeed, the pre-excavation plan suggests a northward continuation toward the edge of excavation. Its southern terminal coincides with the posited perpetuation of the east-west boundary between OAs 33/35 and 34/36 (i.e. former ditch 25041). A westward shift of the boundary between OAs 34 and 36 could perhaps be argued. If indeed a Period 4 boundary, it is short lived as mid-Roman pit 7127 would seem to cut it.
To some extent, the distribution of mid-Roman pits is a product of the excavation strategy and therefore reflects the selective investigation of remains carried out across Excavation Area G. However, two distinct clusters are apparent.
Pits 10086, 10089, 10091, 10162, 10164, 10168, 10195, 10216, 10221 (Group 830) are concentrated near Road 1 at the north-western extreme of the excavated part of the enclosure. Pit 10086 is circular, c. 1.75m diameter, and cuts the latest surface of Road 1, perhaps suggesting the lessening of maintenance along this road in this period. 10091 is a small oval pit, 0.9 x 0.7m and only 0.1m deep, containing a concentration of animal bone, some of which is articulated. It forms part of a cluster of pits with 10164, 10166 and 10168, immediately to the east of Road 1. All of these are relatively small and shallow pits. It is interesting that this location seems to be the site of prolonged pit digging, as a number of Late Roman pits subsequently truncate these.
Sub-rectangular pit 10216 contains a distinctive clay fill, into the centre of which a later feature, 10195, is cut. This, in turn, contains a small circular cut 10221. This arrangement of successive re-cuts is similar to features west of Road 1 at the end of Period 3 (e.g. 9007, 9391, 8017, 10023, 10044) and into Period 4 (e.g. 10012, 10020). This recurrent phenomenon, together with the presence of a clay lining, may suggest a primary function other than simply as a rubbish pit.
A second pit cluster occupies the eastern part of the enclosure (7072, 7122, 7127, 7248, 7316, 7762 Group 868), on and around ditch 7270. As with Period 3 there are two size ranges apparent: large (over 2.8m diameter: e.g. 7127, 7316, 7762) and medium-sized (1-2m diameter; e.g. 7072, 7122, 7248). Most are 0.3-0.6m deep, but 7316 is significantly deeper at c. 0.9m. Pit 7122 contains large pottery assemblage KPG25 and 7072 a substantial quantity of animal bone.
Pits 7284 and 7294 (Group 869) are medium-sized (1-2m diameter) and are peripheral to the eastern cluster, being positioned close to the conjectured southern boundary of Open Area 34. Indeed it is possible that this somewhat notional boundary line, which these pits clip, is by now defunct.
Investigation within Excavation Area G primarily focuses upon the location of Building 54 and the northern part of the area (Figure 161). At least partially as a result, no Period 4 remains are recorded within OAs 35 and 36. This lack of mid-Roman remains extends to that part of OA36 investigated within Excavation Area R, south of the watercourse, where a genuine absence of occupation activity may be more confidently assumed.
To the south of the river, silty gravel layers 12267, 12300, 12349, 12355, 12370 (Group 977) are laid down on top of more-or-less natural brickearths and gravels and above redundant features such as ditch 12284 (ES11 Group 334 Period 2). The uppermost, homogeneous layer 12267 (possibly a re-worked upper portion of gravel deposit 12300) is removed only across small areas, so the true extent and nature remains unknown. A surfacing, or at least consolidating, deposit is postulated and its consistent horizontal level is noted. None of these gravelly deposits are reliably dated. Frequent bone, tile and moderate amounts of pottery were noted at the time of investigation within12349, though none collected.

Pitcher Bob Feller signs with the Cleveland Indians for a reported $30,000.
Jan 21, 1941 | This Day In Baseball |
On January 21 1941 — Pitcher Bob Feller signs with the Cleveland Indians for a reported $30,000.
Previous1941 – In a poll in The Sporting News, the Baseball Writers Association of America names the 1940 All-Star team: Hank Greenberg (LF), Joe DiMaggio (CF), Ted Williams (RF), Frank McCormick (1B) Joe Gordon (2B), Luke Appling (SS), Stan Hack (3B) and Harry Danning (C) are the position players, and Bob Feller, Bucky Walters, and Paul Derringer the pitchers.
Next1941 – Paul Waner, released by the Pittsburgh Pirates last December, signs with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Waner will play 11 games before moving to the Boston Braves, but he will return to Brooklyn in 1943.
Rookie Andrew McCutchen homers three times and drives in 6 runs to lead the new-look Pirates to an 11 – 6 win over Washington. Pittsburgh has traded away 6 regulars over the last week and won their first two games since the deals. McCutchen is the first Pirate rookie ever to go deep three times in a contest.
In a game with the Angels, Cleveland's Bud Black hits Jack Howell, Devon White and Johnny Ray with pitches in the 4th inning of a 10 – 6 loss, tying the major league record. Bert Blyleven will match him in September.
Chipper Jones celebrates being named an All-Star in replacement of the injured Matt Kemp by going 5 for 5 with 4 RBI and 2 doubles in the Braves' 10 – 3 win over the Cubs. The 40-year-old third baseman even steals his first base of the season.
The Yanks move a half game ahead of the rained-out O's by defeating the A's, 8 – 3. Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris homer and Ralph Terry pitches effectively in relief of Al Downing.

Highly recommended, though the quality of upload is not good enough to watch on full screen.
Noy Youtube, but pretty amazing nonetheless.
Does anyone know if there's a full length video of Il Barbiere from ROH - the one with Joyce DiDonato in a wheelchair? I pre-programmed the TV to record it from Mezzo here the other day but the recording stopped in the middle of Cessa di piu resistere and I didn't realize before I watched it back... it's so annoying to have it ALMOST complete. meh.
2. Search for video, ie. "Tosca".
3. You'll see it returns a bunch of short excerpts. Boo! Click on "Long" duration on the left sidebar.

I had never heard this opera before but I think it is gorgeous.
Oh yes, Król Roger is very good. There is a DVD/blu-ray of it that is a good production.

Q: What is the difference between these two object methods in Javascript? Consider the following code:
function someObj() {
    this.someFunction = function() {
        console.log('someFunction');
    }
}

someObj.prototype.foo = function() {
    console.log('foo');
}

I can call both like so:
var test = new someObj();
test.someFunction();     // Logs 'someFunction'
test.foo();              // Logs 'foo'

How would variable scope be affected here? Is there an advantage / disadvantage to each approach?

Jedrysek announces retirement
NEW CARLISLE - One of the all-time great power hitters in ORWBL history is calling it a career. Denis Jedrysek, best known for his five seasons with the Pterodactyls, has announced his retirement.
Jedrysek spent the final three seasons of his career in a limited role with the Newts, filling in from time to time.
A five-time All-Star, all from his time in Bourissa Hills, Jedrysek was one of the most feared hitters in the game. The peak of his career came before the statkeeping era, so his true greatness will never be reflected in the record books.
Including the two in New Carlisle, Jedrysek won three championships. In his second MVP year, he led the Pterodactyls to the 2009 title.
Pterodactyls owner Zach Rehlander has announced plans to retire Jedrysek's number during the Crosstown Classic this summer at The Palace.


Kobe and Casablanca are not the only locations we have for you. There is a lot more to choose from. Just give it a try!
Choose from one of these combinations: The distance between Paisley and Yaounde, The distance between Albany and Tournai, The distance between Male and Timaru, two random locations or choose from all locations available the one you want to start with.
What is the distance between Kobe and Casablanca?
How far is it from Kobe to Casablanca? How long would it take to go from Kobe to Casablanca? What is the distance between Kobe and Casablanca? Surely you already have heard about Kobe in the news. Can you imagine, how near or far away that is? Maybe some of your friends were already there and told you about this city. Now lets take a trip from Kobe to Casablanca. How far would you have to travel? How long would it take to fly from Kobe to Casablanca? Did you every make a journey from Casablanca to Kobe? Before starting your trip to Casablanca, make sure you know some facts about Casablanca or at least Morocco. When speaking about Morocco, never forget to mention Casablanca. This city is worth a short trip as well as a longer stay. Casablanca in Morocco is an attractive destination for holidays and weekend trips. You will find nice hotels and restaurants there. So when do you start? Maybe some of your friends were already there and told you about this city.If you are planning your next weekend trip, why not choose this location?
You are not a fan of Casablanca (which we have chosen for you as the destination for your travel starting in Kobe? Then maybe you want to start in Kobe and to go to one of the following cities: Crewe, Katowice, Abu Dhabi, Trelleborg or Lubljana.
Just think about the distance between Kobe and Casablanca - how far would you have to go? How long would it take? Choose the right answer by clicking on it!
A turtle would need 126 weeks, 3 days and 6 hours for this trip.
Ok, now let's try to do this one: How far is Bern away from Pisa?
Did you here about Kobe or Casablanca in the news? Or maybe you even have travelled from Kobe to Casablanca or the other way round. Then you surely know the exact distance between Kobe and Casablanca in kilometers or miles. But can you also determine the distance in other, more rarely used metrics?
This is not only a geography quiz about Kobe or Casablanca - we have lots of other locations from all around the world. Just try to determine the distance between two random locations or choose from the menu above any location you search for or you might know. How far is Paisley away from Yaounde??

Q: Python: Parsing XML autoadd all key/value pairs I searched a long and have tried a lot! but I can't get my mind open for this totally easy scenario. I need to say that I'm a python newbie but a very good bash coder ;o) I have written some code with python but maybe there is a lot I need to learn yet so do not be too harsh to me ;o) I'm willing to learn and I read python docs and many examples and tried  a lot on my own but now I'm at a point where I picking in the dark..
I parse content provided as XML. It is about 20-50 MB big.
My XML Example:
<MAIN>
  <NOSUBEL>abcd</NOSUBEL>
  <NOSUBEL2>adasdasa</NOSUBEL2>
  <MULTISUB>
    <WHATEVER>
      <ANOTHERSUBEL>
        <ANOTHERONE>
          (how many levels can not be said / can change)
        </ANOTHERONE>
      </ANOTHERSUBEL>
     </WHATEVER>
   </MULTISUB>..
   <SUBEL2>
     <FOO>abcdefg</FOO>
   </SUBEL2>
   <NOSUBEL3>abc</NOSUBEL3>
   ...
   and so on
</MAIN>

This is the main part of parsing it (if you need more details pls ask):
from lxml import etree
resp = my.request(some call args)
xml = etree.XML(resp)

for element in xml.findall(".//MAIN"):

   # this works fine but is not generic enough:
   my_dict = OrderedDict()
   for only1sub in element.iter(tag="SUBEL2"):
        for i in only1sub:
            my_dict[i.tag] = i.text

This just working fine with 1 subelement but that means I need to know which one in the tree has subelements and which not. This could change in the future or be added.
Another problem is MULTISUB. With the above code I'm able to parse until the first tag only.
The goal
What I WANT to achieve is - at best:
A) Having one function / code snippet which is able to parse the whole XML content and if there is a subelement (e.g. with "if len(x)" or whatever) then parse to the next level until you reach a level without a subelement/tree. Then go on to B)
B) For each XML tag found which has NO subelements I want to update the dictionary with the tag name and the tag text.
C) I want to do that for all available elements - the tag  and the direct child tag names (e.g. "NOSUBEL2" or "MULTISUB") will not change (often) so it will be ok to use them as a start point for parsing.
What I tried so far was to chain several loops like for and while and for again and so on but nothing was full successful. I also dived my hands into python generators because I thought I can do something with the next() function but also nothing. But again I may have not the knowledge to use them correctly and so I'm happy for every answer..
At the end the thing I need is so easy I believe. I only want to have key value pairs from the tag name and the tag content that couldn't be so hard? Any help greatly appreciated..
Can you help me reaching the goal?
(Already a thanks for reading until here!)

A: What you are looking for is the recursion - a technique of running some procedure inside that procedure, but for sub-problem of the original problem. In this case: either, for each subelement of some element run this procedure (in case there are subelements) or update your dictionary with element's tag name and text.
I assume at the end you're interested in having dictionary (OrderedDict) containing "flat representation" of whole element tree's leaves' (nodes without subelements) tag names/text values, which in your case, printed out, would look like this:
OrderedDict([('NOSUBEL', 'abcd'), ('NOSUBEL2', 'adasdasa'), ('ANOTHERONE', '(how many levels can not be said / can change)'), ('FOO', 'abcdefg'), ('NOSUBEL3', 'abc')])

Generally, you would define a function that will either call itself with part of your data (in this case: subelements, if there are any) or do something (in this case: update some instance of dictionary).
Since I don't know the details behind my.request call, I've replaced that by parsing from string containing valid XML, based on the one you provided. Just replace constructing the tree object.
resp = """<MAIN>
    <NOSUBEL>abcd</NOSUBEL>
    <NOSUBEL2>adasdasa</NOSUBEL2>
    <MULTISUB>
        <WHATEVER>
            <ANOTHERSUBEL>
                <ANOTHERONE>(how many levels can not be said / can change)</ANOTHERONE>
            </ANOTHERSUBEL>
        </WHATEVER>
    </MULTISUB>
    <SUBEL2>
        <FOO>abcdefg</FOO>
    </SUBEL2>
    <NOSUBEL3>abc</NOSUBEL3>
</MAIN>"""

from collections import OrderedDict
from lxml import etree

def update_dict(element, my_dict):
    # lxml defines "length" of the element as number of its children.
    if len(element):  # If "length" is other than 0.
        for subelement in element:
            # That's where the recursion happens. We're calling the same
            # function for a subelement of the element.
            update_dict(subelement, my_dict)

    else:  # Otherwise, subtree is a leaf.
        my_dict[element.tag] = element.text

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Change/amend it with your my.request call.
    tree = etree.XML(resp)  # That's a <MAIN> element, too.

    my_dict = OrderedDict()
    # That's the first invocation of the procedure. We're passing entire
    # tree and instance of dictionary.
    update_dict(tree, my_dict)

    print(my_dict)  # Just to see that dictionarty was filled with values.

As you can see, I didn't use any tag name in the code (except for the XML source, of course).
I've also added missing import from collections.


Since its beginning more than sixty years ago, Church Development Fund (CDF) has provided financing for the expansion, building and growth of churches and ministries all across the United States, thanks to thousands of individuals who have invested roughly $500 million.
CDF's mission is, simply stated, to Help Ministries Grow. It was established primarily to provide financial assistance to churches – specifically to a fellowship of churches that typically define themselves as being a part of what has become known as the "Restoration Movement." As such, their lending and investment activities are limited to only independent Christian Churches, Churches of Christ, or other autonomous churches or ministries exemplifying the characteristics of congregations and ministries that are identified with that Movement.
Church Development Fund is known for connecting members of their affiliated churches with a Kingdom-expanding purpose as well as providing creative financial solutions to churches that help them grow their ministries. As such, the organization provides two main services: (1) loans for expansion of church ministry and facilities and (2) investment opportunities for individuals and churches who desire to both invest in the work of Kingdom expansion and realize a reasonable financial return on that investment.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a proven track record in developing and implementing successful marketing programs in an industry that shares characteristics related to the principal business of CDF. The ideal candidate could be from retail commercial banking, investment or insurance services, private banking or wealth management. Or they may have served in a key marketing role for a nonprofit fundraising organization that is nationwide in scope and focused mainly on small to mid-sized contributors, or with a Christian nonprofit organization that has experience in church relations or successful marketing to churches.
The Vice President/Marketing is responsible for developing and executing an approved annual marketing plan for CDF and its related entities.
Marketing channels such as print, video, digital, etc.

Red Devils Woo Osimhen with 140k Pounds per Week Offer
Kpopkogri Should Carry his Cross -Tonto
Nine Killed Scores Injured in Kano Blast
Manchester United, the English Premier League heavyweights, are set to offer Nigeria international Victor Osimhen a weekly deal worth roughly N60.6 million.
Osimhen has been connected with many prominent Premier League clubs, according to several transfer reports.
Following his successful season with Napoli in the Italian Serie A, Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Manchester United are all interested in signing him.
The striker joined Napoli in the summer of 2020 for €80m with ads-on and has a contract with the Naple-based club until 2025.
The 23-year-old has since become a key figure at the club and is currently the club's leading scorer with 18 goals in 31 appearances so far this season.
Though reluctant, Napoli are open to his sale this summer, but will reportedly seek a whopping £85m (€100m) for his services.
The Parthenopeans rejected Manchester United's first offer for Osimhen but now the Red Devils are looking to offer Anthony Martial in a swap deal as they bid to rebuild the team following another poor season.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, United are reportedly hopeful of securing his signing. With talks already underway.
The website claims Osimhen could agree a five-year deal worth £146,000 a week. That is more than double the money he currently earns at Napoli.
Osimhen's journey to becoming one of Europe's most sought after players, has been denial and rejection but the lad never gave up.
The young striker, endured a testing time at his first European club Wolfsburg, which he joined following his eye-catching performances at the 2015 U-17 World Cup in Chile.
The forward starred at the tournament, winning the Golden Boot and Silver Ball awards after helping Nigeria clinch the title.

Fortescue celebrates 15 years of achievement
Published by Claire Cuddihy, Assistant Editor
Global Mining Review, Tuesday, 29 May 2018 09:18
Yesterday evening, Fortescue Metals Group (Fortescue) gathered with customers from around the world – suppliers, employees and key stakeholders, including pastoralists, native title partners and local communities – to celebrate 15 years of milestones.
Fortescue Founder and Chairman Andrew Forrest AO was joined at the event by WA Premier Mark McGowan, former WA Premier Colin Barnett and China Iron and Steel Association Secretary General Liu Zhenjiang.
As part of the celebrations, Fortescue CEO Elizabeth Gaines and COO Greg Lilleyman hosted a group of customers from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, India and Australia at the company's first mine site, Cloudbreak.
Gaines explained that the tour was an opportunity to showcase Fortescue's world-leading operations and assets and provide customers with first-hand insights into the company's innovative mining processes.
"As the lowest cost supplier of seaborne iron ore into China, Fortescue has maintained strong and positive relationships with customers since our first shipment of iron ore a decade ago," she said.
"Over the past 15 years, we have invested over US$22 billion in building our infrastructure and assets in the Pilbara to establish our position as a global supplier of iron ore."
"This investment is set to grow with the Eliwana project which lays the foundation for the future development of our iron ore operations and provides greater flexibility to capitalise on market dynamics."
Gaines acknowledged the role that China's demand for iron ore has played in supporting the rapid development of Fortescue.
"The successful trading relationship between Australia and China has been vital to driving economic growth in both nations and while China remains our core focus, we look forward to building relationships with customers across the growth economies in our broader region, including South East Asia and India," she said.

MACRO OR MICRO?: Challenging our Perceptions of Scale
Art & Science Gallery
1 Science Park
Today, researchers study the Earth at a variety of scales and with a variety of advanced equipment. While satellites take images of entire landscapes, electron microscopes use a beam of electrons to magnify objects up to 500,000 times.
The resulting images, which differ in scale of a million times or more, are featured side-by-side in Macro or Micro? Challenging our perceptions of scale. Geographer Stephen Young and biologist Paul Kelly, both with Salem State University, have gathered compelling images from their scientific research to test viewers' perceptions of the Earth. Challenge yourself to determine the scale of these stunning images — the patterns and similarities between macro and micro views may surprise you.

CONDENSED MATTER COMMUNITY
by appointment through January 2016
Synchrotron Radiation Center: Home of Aladdin
Stoughton, WI
Condensed Matter Community is a site-specific curatorial project organized by Kristof Wickman and Evan Gruzis intended to generate a dialogue about science, aesthetics, progress and entropy.

NUMBERS IN NATURE: A Mirror Maze
new permanent exhibit
Patterns are everywhere if you know where to look! From the delicate nested spirals of a sunflower's seeds, to the ridges of a majestic mountain range, to the layout of the universe, mathematical patterns abound in the natural world. Numbers in Nature: A Mirror Maze is a new permanent exhibit that will expose and explain the patterns that surround us.
As you enter Numbers in Nature, lenticular images and an immersive large-format film reveal these repeating patterns hidden throughout nature: spirals, occurrences of the "golden ratio" (ɸ), Voronoi patterns, and fractal branching. You will even discover patterns and ratios found in your own body and in centuries of music, art, and architecture so that you'll never look at the world the same way again.
EXHIBITS: WEST
RAW & COOKED
January 15 – March 11, 2016
Rio Gallery
300 S. Rio Grande St.
This exhibition explores the relationship between culture and nature, one of the oldest human tropes. In this recurring schism, humans believe ourselves to be of nature and, alternately, distinct from it. As we search texts and traditions to support either position, the persistence of the trope itself is underscored; it's an impasse, shifting in form. It's also an embrace of or a resistance to the natural world that produced us; from which we believe we stand apart.
In Raw and Cooked, artists Jim Jacobs, Joshua Winegar, and Paul Crow present work within this nature/culture dialectic. Jacobs begins with an ancient horticultural intervention, the graft, to focus our attention on a literal intersection of the natural and the human-made. Winegar takes on the natural world as a partner in a conversation with his psyche, alternately responding to, and intervening in, the world which surrounds him. Crow maps the span of his life onto the time frame of the human awareness of global climate change. Each artist begins with material that exists before agency and brings it through a process of intervention to manifest a hybrid: the artist in dialogue both with the world and without, and with an inner understanding of that world.
ATOMS + BYTES: Redefining Craft in the Digital Age
March 4 – June 26, 2016
Bellevue Arts Museum
Today's makers have access to a wider array of tools, materials, and processes than ever before. Digital methods such as scanning and imaging, coding, CNC-milling, and rapid prototyping not only influence the way objects are designed, manufactured, and distributed, but also change the terms of our relationships with them.
Atoms + Bytes: Redefining Craft in the Digital Age will showcase works by 30 international and local makers situated at the intersection of the digital and the analogue worlds. These artists, craftspeople, and designers excel in material practices that span millennia of craft traditions, while drawing on cutting-edge digital tools to develop innovative ways of making. The integration of these atoms and bytes, building blocks of matter and information, generates the new forms and typologies that shape our changing world.
Through the presentation of works that embody mergers of traditional and digital processes and materials, Atoms + Bytes reframes the conversation about the place of technology within the historical trajectory of object-making and offers an invitation to reevaluate the way we place value on craft and define "hand-made."
November 19, 2015 – April 3, 2016
University of Arizona Museum of Art
1031 North Olive Road
The worlds of art and fire science come together in Fires of Change. Curated by Flagstaff installation artist Shawn Skabelund, Fires of Change explores the increase in severity, size, and number of wildfires in the Southwest and their impact on the landscape through the eyes of artists. Through the art, visitors can get a sense of the true impact of the fires, from human to environmental.
Fires of Change is an NEA and Joint Fire Science Consortium funded exhibition originating at the Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff. Eleven artists spent a week in 2014 in fire science boot camp with the Southwest Fire Science Consortium and the Landscape Conservation Initiative to learn about the impact of wildfire in Northern Arizona. They then spent the year creating original works in reaction to their experiences.

ELEVATIONS: Art by Lucy Conklin
Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center
4901 Breakwater Ave.
A walk from Mount Diablo to the Hayward shoreline would cross through many ecosystems, each with their own unique set of inhabitants. Some of these creatures have very specific needs and limited ranges. Others are more adaptable and seem perfectly at home in an urban backyard. This collection of work by science illustrator Lucy Conklin explores the vast array of wildlife in the East Bay, and some of our unusual visitors. Whether they are long time residents, returning to their natural habitat after a long hiatus, or an oddity passing through unexplained, their journeys have a story.
EXHIBITS: ABROAD

Creative inspiration is at the heart of both science and art – and our array of indoor and outdoor art installations blend art and science in delightful and insightful ways. Current installations include:
BEAM Robot Fish: Controlled by solar cells, this BEAM robot sculpture (Biology, Electronic, Aesthetics, Mechanics) is designed to live, feed and fend for itself in the ocean.
Cloud: Check out this mesmerizing art installation composed of hundreds of rotating glass panels designed to mimic the changes of state from solid to liquid to gas.
Jacquard Coverlet: Marvel at this wall hanging woven on our antique Jacquard loom by volunteers. Like a computer, the loom's mechanism uses binary to create the pattern.
