The U.S. Federal Reserve is deferring to Congress to decide whether to introduce a central bank digital currency (CBDC), Lael Brainard told the Senate banking committee Thursday at her Fed vice chair nomination hearing.
Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis asked whether the vice chair nominee believed that the digital dollar should be available to retail customers, as is China's upcoming digital yuan.
"We really are looking to Congress in the first instance, and the Administration to give us guidance in this area," Brainard responded. "We want to make sure that we do the requisite research on policy and technology so we're in a position to move forward if Congress decides it's important to be able to compete with China in this regard."
Various industry watchers expect China's upcoming digital yuan launch to challenge the U.S. dollar's position as the global hegemonic currency.
On Wednesday, Republican Congressman Tom Emmer introduced a bill that would prohibit the Fed from issuing a CBDC directly to Americans, citing "China's digital authoritarianism" and privacy concerns.
At his own nomination hearing Tuesday, Jerome Powell said the Fed's highly anticipated research report on cryptocurrencies and CBDCs, originally due in September, would be released "within weeks."

Theology for the Teen Years
Jaquelle Crowe · January 31, 2019
They call my generation Generation Z, and we're passionately progressive, open-minded, and tolerant – except in one notable area: religion. We are, in fact, the least religious generation in US history. Since the birth of my generation (around 1995), there has been an unprecedented decline in prayer, church attendance, Bible reading, belief in God, and any kind of religious affiliation.
In the 1990s, there was a feverish fear in evangelical culture about teens leaving the church after graduation. Today's graduating teens are still leaving the church, but in a secular culture awash with religious apathy or antagonism, many are disinterested or unengaged in church long before graduation.
Culture of Individualism
That leads us to ask the question, Why? What led to Generation Z (also known as iGen) being the least religious generation in US history? Jean Twenge, a secular psychology professor at the University of San Diego, offers a surprisingly spiritual answer: we've created a culture of individualism… and that drives teens away from God.
Community was once woven into the fabric of daily life and seen as a fundamental facet of society. It's deeply embedded in Christian history and remains embedded in how the church still functions. God's people were not saved in isolation to live separate, lonely lives. They were saved as part of the church, Jesus' precious bride, to participate in the holy communion of the saints (Eph. 5:25-27). God created people to need other people (Gen. 2:18).
But our Western culture has lost sight of the beauty and necessity of community. Instead, we've promulgated a fiercely independent society, where people live fragmented lives, following their own dreams and desires in search of maximum personal gain.
Twenge insightfully points out the disconnect between a culture that idolizes individual beliefs and religion, which inherently requires believing in something bigger than yourself. She says, "In a society where young people hear, 'If it feels good, do it' and 'Believe in yourself,' religion seems almost countercultural" (iGen, p. 185).
And the popular views of faith youth tend to adopt are often colored by this cultural influence – believing in a God that exists to make people happy and approves of whatever you believe as long as you're a "good" person.
A robust, life-changing gospel is indeed radically counter-cultural.
The Counter-Cultural Idea: Why Teens Need Theology
But when has the gospel ever fit into the culture? And when have Christians ever been called to make the gospel fit into the culture? Never. The shocking work of the gospel is how it changes lives that don't think they need to be changed. And despite the fact that many of today's teens don't think they need the gospel, they need it now more than ever.
Teenagers swimming in a current toward individualism need to be redirected toward a community of faith. They need a community who will rally around them and pour deeply into them – a community who will teach them who God is and what he's done. A community whose teaching will go past superficial stories and moralistic lessons. A community who will challenge them and take them seriously. A community who will answer their big questions. Teenagers swimming in a current toward individualism need to be redirected toward a community of faith. Click To Tweet
What they need is a community rooted in theology.
Surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly), this is what the non-Christian Jean Twenge found too: "iGen'ers want to interact with religion and not just be told what to do. Trevor, 20, wrote: 'Young adults want answers about life and about who we are, why this even matters, what we can do. Instead, we get told just to pray or a handout worksheet about Bible verses.' … This suggests religious organizations should focus on active discussions with iGen'ers that address the 'big questions' they have about life, love, God, and meaning" (iGen, p. 189).
David Kinnaman has reported that 36% of young adults say they don't feel they can "ask my most pressing life questions in church."
Theology for the teen years should mean addressing these questions about life, love, God, and meaning according to Scripture. My generation is trying to figure out our place in this world, and we need a community who will teach us about the Solid Rock on which to build a foundation of faith.
A community who won't just skip the hard parts of the Bible but who will teach them with humility.
A community who will talk about suffering, pain, and death and answer our questions about God's goodness and power.
A community who will talk about science and how God's character and creation are not in opposition to it.
A community who will talk about sexuality and gender and sensitively show us God's design for men and women.
A community who won't dumb things down for us but who will raise their expectations of us.
A community who will teach us about why God made us and help us understand our purpose and identity.
A community who will model a passion for God and his Word over and above games and pizza.
Despite the fact that my generation is the least religious generation in US history, God is at work among my peers. He is using faithful churches, pastors, and parents to give us clarity in the midst of a blindingly confusing culture. All throughout history, some of the biggest explosions of conversions and gospel work have happened among students. That could happen again today.
But a reserved and hyper-individualistic generation is not just going to run to you, begging to be taught theology. They need you to come to them. That starts in your church with the youth you have. It looks like personal and empathetic discipleship, open and authentic conversations, and rigorous and theological Bible training. It looks like compassion, discernment, and a whole lot of prayer.
God is at work among my generation. And the harvest is plentiful. So, pastors, keep laboring. Parents, keep laboring. Youth workers, keep laboring. Don't give up on us. Because Generation Z needs all the laborers we can get.

Q: How to install/locate R.h and Rmath.h header files? I am trying to compile some C code (called rand_beta) in terminal which contains the lines to include R.h and Rmath.h header files using gcc -o rand_beta rand_beta.c so I can then call the code from within R.
However, I get the error messages:
rand_beta.c:1:15: error: R.h: No such file or directory
rand_beta.c:2:19: error: Rmath.h: No such file or directory

It seems that these header files which should come installed with R are not on my system.
Can someone guide me as to how I can get my computer to find the R header files? Do I need to download them from somewhere?

A: You first need to locate those headers. In my system, they are located in /usr/lib64/R/include/R.h, part of the R-devel package I installed with yum.
Then use the -I option of gcc to tell gcc where to find them.
gcc -I/usr/lib64/R/include  -o rand_beta rand_beta.c

Then, you will also most probably need to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH to run your compiled program:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/R/lib ./rand_beta

A: The other answers try to guess where your R installation directory is. But there is a more robust solution. Use the R.home command in R to find it wherever it is:
> R.home('include')
/usr/lib64/R/include

That is the folder containing R.h and Rmath.h on my system. Your folder may be in a different place.

A: Another way is to specify some environment variables to directly use the include path:
export CPATH=/usr/lib64/R/include/
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib64/R/include/
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib64/R/include/
export GCC_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/lib64/R/include/

This should then run fine:
gcc -o rand_beta rand_beta.c

Q: Convergence in the product of spaces of iteratively composed functions. My question is a bit odd, in fact conceptually it is not difficult, only that it operates on objects that are complex (to me).
I would like to check two types of convergence in the product of the spaces where each space consists of iterative composition of a function from the first order with the function from the last order.
In more precise terms: I have two spaces of continuous functions $C(X,C(Y,\mathbb{R}_+))$ and $C(Y,C(X,\mathbb{R}_+))$, where $X$ and $Y$ are compact metric and each $C(.)$ has the topology of uniform convergence, i.e. defined by the metric
$$d(f_1(x),f_2(x))=sup_{x\in X} \mid f_1(x)-f_2(x) \mid$$
From this pair of spaces $C(X,C(Y,\mathbb{R}_+))$ and $C(Y,C(X,\mathbb{R}_+))$ we can obtain the following sequence of spaces.
First take some $f(.)\in C(X,C(Y,\mathbb{R}_+))$ and some $g(.)\in C(Y,C(X,\mathbb{R}_+))$ and define two "composed" functions (it is not function composition in the usual sense, but related):
$$f^{(1)}\equiv g \circ f: X \rightarrow C(C(X,\mathbb{R_+}),\mathbb{R_+})$$
$$g^{(1)}\equiv f \circ g: Y \rightarrow C(C(Y,\mathbb{R_+}),\mathbb{R_+})$$
Interpretation is that $f^{(1)}$ returns for each $x\in X$ a function/map that is itself a mapping from the space of functions to reals.
Next we iterate, namely apply $g(.)$ to $f^{(1)}$ and $f(.)$ to $g^{(1)}$:
$$f^{(2)}\equiv g^{(1)} \circ f: X \rightarrow C(C(C(Y,\mathbb{R_+}),\mathbb{R_+}),\mathbb{R_+})$$
$$g^{(2)}\equiv f^{(1)} \circ g: Y \rightarrow C(C(C(Y,\mathbb{R_+}),\mathbb{R_+}),\mathbb{R_+})$$
We can do again and again such iteration infinitely often, to obtain a sequence of functions (over functions over functions).
My questions are:

*

*How to show for each iteration that the resulting function is continuous? I.e. no matter the order of iteration $n$, each $f^{(n)}:X\rightarrow C(C(C(....),\mathbb{R_+}),\mathbb{R_+})$ is a continuous function (the same for $g^{(n)}$)

*Take now  $C(X,C(Y,\mathbb{R}_+)) \times C(Y,C(X,\mathbb{R}_+))$ and unfold for each pair $f(.)$ and $g(.)$ the corresponding sequences as above. This let us to produce the sequence of spaces. Do we we have that when $f_k(.) \rightarrow f(.)$ and $g_k(.) \rightarrow g(.)$ as $k\rightarrow \infty$ then $f^{(n)}_k \rightarrow f^{(n)}$ and $g^{(n)}_k \rightarrow g^{(n)} $ uniformly across $n\in \mathbb{N}$?
Thanks a lot for any hints!!!

After I did, the serial number in the PS splash screen resembles: %&?]+0@.  And whenever I try to launch PS, after the splash screen, I get the error: "Invalid personalization information", and then PS just quits.
I uninstalled the Premier trial software and yet the Adobe AIR that was installed with it remains. Windows Programs and Features can not remove it- even when I booted in safe mode.
Adobe says "AIR is free so we don't support it".
Any suggestions to help me get the serial number for my licensed copy of CS1 working again?
Thank you.

A: Adobe Air is an addon to Flash which give Flash (and Flex/other) developers a bigger target market than just web browsers.
For example, Tweetdeck is an application which takes advantage of Adobe Air.
If you really want to remove it, go to Add / Remove Programs, it is listed there and can be removed easily.
However, I highly doubt this is what caused your problems. As you have a fully legal copy of CS1, I would contact Adobe for support - that is why you paid the huge amount to begin with.
It should just be a matter of retyping the serial number and reactivating. If it does not work, then as I said, contact them or telephone them on the number that the software provides.

Beware blonde, feminine role models wearing pink.
Today's guest post comes to us courtesy of Sara Callori. She is a physics Ph.D. candidate at Stony Brook University in Long Island, NY. In the lab, Sara loves working with x-rays and even has a Bragg diffraction tattoo. She would eventually like to focus on science teaching and outreach because she loves to get people to stop being intimidated when they think of physics.
This may sound odd, but I never aspired to be feminine until I became a physicist. I grew up playing sports and getting short haircuts. There were phases when my mother would have had to tranquilize me to get me into a dress (this was infrequent as my tom-boy qualities seemed to come from her own lack of femininity). As I got older, I started to develop some style, but it was more comfort over fashion, especially when it came down to 8 am classes in undergrad. When I made the decision to go into graduate school for physics, however, my outlook changed. I wanted to be someone who bucked the stereotype: a fashionable, fun, young woman who also is a successful physicist. I thought that if I didn't look like the stereotypical physicist, I could be someone that was a role model to younger students by demonstrating an alternative to the stereotype of who can be a scientist.
This week researchers at the University of Michigan released findings that dashed my hopes for being the cool physicist that younger girls want to emulate. In a paper titled "My Fair Physicist? Feminine Math and Science Role Models Demotivate Young Girls", psychology researchers Diana Betz and Denise Sekaquaptewa found that women presented as both successful in science/technology/engineering/math (STEM) careers and possessing "feminine traits" negatively affected how young girls viewed science and math.
When I read the summary of these findings, I was dismayed. I became even more disappointed when I read that for feminine traits they used "wearing make-up and pink clothes, liking fashion magazines". Gender-neutral women were given traits such as "wearing dark-colored clothes and glasses, likes reading".
The assignment of these traits bothered me on several levels. The most immediate was how narrow the study's concept of "feminine" seemed. If you asked me if I considered myself feminine, I would say yes. I like colorful dresses during the summer and own too many purses -- but I also wear glasses, play rugby, and have tattoos. Most real-life women, including women in STEM, also possess traits from a mix of "feminine" and "gender-neutral" categories. It is important to remember these are the women younger students will encounter when they are introduced to female scientists.
Additionally, the researchers' idea of "feminine" seems to play into another set of negative stereotypes common in popular culture, what you might call the "Legally Blonde" scenario. In the movie, the protagonist is a woman who could easily be described as "wearing make-up and pink clothes, liking fashion magazines". The story builds around how someone with those traits is perceived as unintelligent and unsuited for work that requires a strong academic background. While throughout the story, the main character shows she isn't just a pretty face, there are still many people who will associate these types of feminine traits with unintelligence.
This study also unsettled me on a personal level. I've long desired to be a role model to younger students. I enjoy sharing the excitement of physics, especially with those who might be turned away from the subject because of stereotypes or negative perceptions. I always thought that by being outgoing, fun, and yes, feminine would enable me to reach students who see physics as the domain of old white men. These results have me questioning myself, which can only hurt my outreach efforts by making me more self conscious about them. They make me wonder if I have to be disingenuous about who I am in order to avoid being seen as "too feminine" for physics.
Overall, that this study could be useful as a springboard for improving discussion and ideas for motivating girls in STEM. However, I think that their idea of "feminine" is too narrow to apply these findings broadly. Rather than work in the black and white "feminine" vs. "gender neutral" cases, why not build further ideas, research, and programs around much more realistic types of women who are currently succeeding in many STEM fields.
I think a lot of women with a prior interest in STEM fields start off not being especially feminine, or not explicitly or intentionally identifying that way. I certainly did, and your self-described style evolution resonated with my own experience. And on a visceral level, I agree that, at the time, successful STEM women who were also fashionable (which seems to be the focus of their notion of femininity) did seem "too good," displaying traits difficult to attain on their own, and even more so in tandem. But I do agree with you - there is a range of expression, and it's possible that falling in the middle between "gender-neutral" and "feminine" is a good thing, and could show girls and young women that they can express themselves as they wish, rather than having to conform to either of the extremes.
The researchers did not create the stereotypes from their own views, nor was their intention to create "feminine" women as the opposite of the stereotypical computer scientist. The assignment of clothing and hobbies was done to produce stereotypes of computer scientists based on ratings given by participants in a separate study.
Additionally, the study itself did not involve "role models", so the generalization (which appears in the paper as well as the press release) is not a valid one. The experiments involved interacting with confederates; the participants thought that the other people were students like themselves and, since the participants were not computer science majors, the idea of another student being a role model is a huge stretch.
Furthermore, the conclusions the researchers made have a lot of holes, in my opinion. They viewed the social comparison as responsible for personal success ratings when, in fact, they are simply an explanation for them.
What I would have concluded from this study is very simple: women who view themselves as more like the stereotypical computer scientist rate themselves as more likely to be successful as computer scientists. This correlation does not suggest anything causal at all. It does not even suggest that women are paying attention to what a stereotypical computer scientist is like (although other studies suggest that they probably do).
While the NYC (where I am located) culture is more fashion-centric than most places and a majority of people tend to adhere to some iteration of a fashion trend, there is still a negative perception when it comes to "smarts" and dresses/hair/shoes/pink/etc. Perhaps a better approach would be to encourage an open mind instead of asking scientist role models to possibly go against their own person and become more "gender neutral." I'd rather dress the way I dress and prove that study wrong.
Also, I don't think you need to counter the idea that you have a lot of purses with playing rugby or having tattoos. Why do these things have to be antagonistic to one another? They are all things that you embrace for self-expression and I don;t believe we should categorize them as "feminine" or "un-feminine." In my opinion, doing this just perpetuates the stereotype, even when it is unintended.

Here's Who the Internet Predicts Will Win the New York Primary

By Daniel White

Donald Trump may land a quick victory when voting is finished Tuesday night in New York, while Hillary Clinton may find herself in a tight race, according to search engine and social media data.
Trump, a Queens native, is expected to take a handy victory at tonight's Republican presidential primary in his home state, according to a Bing analysis of search data, polling averages and social media conversation.
Bing, Microsoft's search engine, is pitching itself as being able to predict the primary results in this election, having called many of the state contests correctly so far.
Trump has held a clear lead in the April polling of New York, with Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz trailing. Internet data regarding Trump can be misleading, however, as the billionaire front-runner consumes much of the conversation online—negative and positive.
For the Democrats, the race may be tighter than expected, if the Internet is any sign. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Brooklyn native, dominates the online conversation on primary day, via both social media and in the volume of related searches.
Clinton, however, is favored to win by Bing, but the margin could be slimmer than expected as their formula gives the former Secretary of State a 55.6% to 44.4% lead over Sanders.
The New York presidential primary is the first early voting contest in some 10 days and it could prove decisive, as 95 Republican delegates and 247 Democratic delegates are up for grabs tonight.

Home/Politics/Donald Trump Whines After The FBI Raided His Mar-a-Lago Resort
Donald Trump Whines After The FBI Raided His Mar-a-Lago Resort
Source: Eva Marie Uzcategui / Getty
Just over a week ago, ex-President Donald Trump found the pumpkin patch-flavored audacity to speak on the legal troubles of Brittney Griner. He characterized the woman who has been sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison over less than a gram of cannabis oil as a "potentially spoiled person" who was "loaded up with drugs."
And now he's being a big, rusty cry baby because the FBI just raided his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, because—oh yeah—he's still up to his sentient toupee in his own legal battles and probably shouldn't be speaking on anyone else's.
According to CNN, the FBI executed a search warrant on Trump's property as part of an investigation into his handling of presidential documents, including classified documents, that the bureau suspects may have been brought there illegally.
Unsurprisingly, Trump responded to the search like a "potentially spoiled person" saying in a statement Monday that "they even broke into my safe."
"My beautiful home," he cried. "Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents."
Trump is really out here describing the search of his Florida resort like it was—oh, I don't know—the attack on the U.S. Capitol that his voter fraud propaganda inspired.
It's not even as if Trump—who was at Trump Tower in New York while the search was happening—should be surprised by this as the investigation into the possible mishandling of White House documents started in June of this year.
In early June, a handful of investigators made a rare visit to the property seeking more information about potentially classified material from Trump's time in the White House that had been taken to Florida. The four investigators, including Jay Bratt, the chief of the counterintelligence and export control section at the Justice Department, sat down with two of Trump's attorneys, Bobb and Evan Corcoran, according to a source present for the meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Trump stopped by and greeted the investigators near a dining room. After he left, without answering any questions, the investigators asked the attorneys if they could see where Trump was storing the documents. The attorneys took the investigators to the basement room where the boxes of materials were being stored, and the investigators looked around the room before eventually leaving, according to the source.
This time, the FBI reportedly needed to check to make sure nothing had been left behind after the initial investigation of the property and was "focused on the area of the club where Trump's offices and personal quarters are," according to CNN.
And of course, Republicans who probably have "Hillary's emails" tattooed on their tongues are joining Trump in being big babies over the raid.
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement that Democrats "continually weaponize the bureaucracy against Republicans."
"Attorney General (Merrick) Garland: preserve your documents and clear your calendar. I've seen enough. The Department of Justice has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization," said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. "When Republicans take back the House, we will conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned."
Meanwhile, the current White House says it wasn't notified about the raid on Trump's property and that President Joe Biden wasn't even aware of it until after it happened.

His ongoing interest in clinical medicine meant he naturally moved to the interface between medicine and psychiatry. He completed his PhD on the psychiatric problems in people with chronic low back pain whilst simultaneously completing his clinical training as a liaison psychiatrist. He has worked mostly researching the causes, effects and treatments of emotional problems in people with chronic physical illness, whilst maintaining his clinical involvement in assessing and delivering psychiatric treatments to such people. He relocated to the University of Exeter Medical School in July 2011 to take up the post as Chair of Psychological Medicine, where he has continued to focus on the development and evaluation of interventions to improve the management of common mental disorders in people with chronic physical illness. He is joint lead with Prof Willem Kuyken on the NIHR PenCLAHRC funded project Determining the Feasibility and Acceptability of Mindfulness-Based Interventions in Depressed People with Chronic Physical Health Problems.

PHUKET, THAILAND – Children from all over Asia, from future champions to local athletes, competed in the Foremost Ironkids Race on November 26, 2016. The challenging test of speed includes swimming, cycling, and running over different distances for individual and relay teams.
IronKids is a fast-growing youth sports movement, held around the world for children ages 4 to 15. The program nurtures the young generation's love of sports and gives them the opportunity to explore the community. The Phuket kids' race returns to Thanyapura and continues to boost the property's reputation as a destination for sporting excellence among professional and aspiring athletes.
A total of 130 contenders participated in the race, including individual racers and children in relay teams. While most kids competed for recreation and fun, many bolstered their triathlon records in being champions.
The top three male and female winners of each age group are awarded trophies and medals while the top relay teams are given a trophy to each participant. All children who finish the race will earn a medal and shirt.
Winners of the Foremost IronKids Triathlon met reigning IRONMAN 70.3 champions (Tim Reed, Tim Van Berkel, Dimity-Lee duke, Amelia Watkinson, and August Benedicto) for inspiration and guidance in pursuing careers as professional athletes.
The triathlon is organized with the support of Foremost and Born Free to Run. Foremost contributed premium quality milk to nourish young competitors' bodies throughout the competition. Born Free to Run offers free training for local children who strive to be future athletes – providing underprivileged families access to Thanyapura's world-class facilities and coaches.
"[Winning] feels very, very good. I'm looking forward to coming back next year, for sure. I'll go to a few [races] coming up in a month in the UAE. The training in Thailand is very good, it couldn't have happened without my coach," said Alexcos Cristalai, Phuket resident and first-place finisher in the 13-15 years' category.
Thanyapura, the home of upcoming triathletes, offers a unique concept with sporting events and training camps for all athletes. Facilities feature the 50m and 25m swimming pools, quiet road for cyclists, and the Athletic Track. Thanyapura is a sport, fitness, health and educational haven. There is the high-quality sports hotel, award-winning organic restaurants, a mind centre, specialised and holistic medical centre, and an international school. Thanyapura Health & Wellness is the hub of innovative medical facilities and services, such as yoga, spa, mind training, physiotherapy, weight loss, and much more. In January 2017, The 37-room Garden Wing launches a new concept, welcoming guests with holistic offerings of leading a healthy lifestyle and a balanced mind.

Pingback: Flash Player 10.2 is Here: Available Now for Windows, Mac, and & flash . Here Ive some questions I hope could be answered by the team: 1.


Take a walk thru your local pet store and you'll see dozens of different kibble brands to choose from available in shapes ranging from tiny balls, squares, triangles and even animal shapes like fish or chicken.
All kibble, regardless of brand, are supposed to be nutritionally balanced and complete, so that your cat's basic dietary needs are met by the ingredients. However, not all are. Each proprietary recipe from the various kibble manufacturers will include protein sources like beef, chicken and eggs, as well as grains, cereals, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
These raw wet and dry ingredients are first mixed together and then pulverized to make a special paste like dough. Once this dough is prepared, it must then be cooked and formed. This is done by a process called 'extrusion' using a machine called an expander (or extruder).
The dough is fed into the expander which cooks it using pressurized steam or hot water. The cooked dough is pushed (or extruded) through specially sized and shaped holes (called die), where it is then cut off by sharp blades. The timing of the whole process is critical because if the cooked dough isn't cut quickly enough (while still compacted from the high pressure) it will naturally puff up and no longer be usable as kibble.
These newly formed dough pieces are then passed through a dryer to remove any remaining moisture. The resulting kibble is sprayed with fats, oils, minerals and vitamins and sealed in packages ready for consumption.
Fun Fact: These extruder machines were originally created to produce puffed breakfast cereals, and subsequently modified for manufacturing large quantities of nutritious, shelf-stable pet foods.
Some of you may know that our cats are only fed Royal Canin food (both kibble and wet) and since Royal Canin is a leader in kibble research and development, we asked them to share a bit more about their unique design process.
As far as cats are concerned, the first criteria they exhibit in choosing whether or not they like a particular food is its palatability. In other words, is the food acceptable or agreeable to the cat's unique palate or taste. This is a critical element in how Royal Canin designs and produces their own kibble.
2. Seizing – the ability to pick up food and ingest it. If this is easy, they are more likely to eat the food.
4. Post-ingestion – the feeling the cat (or dog) gets after eating.
Extensive development at the Royal Canin campus in France and use of advanced equipment such as the Texturometer – a tool that measures kibble hardness and the amount of force required to chew or break it – allow them to create specifically shaped kibble to meet the needs of different breed's ability to pick-up and chew their product.
Dental health – It is important that the cat's teeth penetrate the kibble so that a 'brushing effect' can be achieved. This may help to reduce plaque, which can lead to tartar and encourages good oral health.
Digestion – The more a cat has to chew the kibble, the slower the ingestion speed, which can aid in digestion.
Satisfaction – Altering the kibble density can help to alleviate hunger between meals by creating a sense of fullness. This can help cats feel satisfied and helps maintain a healthy weight.
Royal Canin takes size, shape, texture and density into consideration when developing their kibble and adapt it to the specific characteristics of each cat (or dog) breed's needs. Their design team have done extensive research to determine which kibble type and size is best suited for each method of prehension (seizing), and in turn they have created a number of unique and optimal kibble shapes.
The Royal Canin team does not develop their foods based on buyer (human) trends, but instead develop every diet according to what they learn from cats (and dogs).
Fun fact: Did you know that cats prefer food near body temperature? The reason being that it's similar to prey caught in the wild. They are less attracted to foods at room temperature or colder and also foods that are too warm.
Other notable considerations in kibble science include hardness and crispness which play a role in palatability. Through careful kibble design the Royal Canin team are able to actually slow down the speed of eating for better digestion.
Above our tuxie (Newman) unabashedly enjoying his daily kibble.
In closing, kibble science may not be rocket science, but there's a whole lot more than meets the eye.

"As we strive to teach others we must have the humility to acknowledge that we too still have much to learn." -Aung San Suu Kyi
We can't believe our time is already up with our Mansfield Center YSEALI Fellows Kath, Zaw, and Marvelous!
These three women visited Missoula for one month as part of The YSEALI (Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative) Fellowship. The program provides the opportunity for young leaders from Southeast Asia to travel to the United States to enhance their professional skills, experience American culture, and build lasting partnerships between the fellows and American hosts. The Fellows program of the University of Montana hosts young leaders aged 25-35 from Burma/Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.
We are going to miss them so much! We'd love to share a bit about them and the amazing empowerment work they do in their home countries.
Kath Khangpiboon from Bangkok, Thailand
Empowerment work: Kath is an advocate for the transgender community, working against trans-phobia and violence, and to improve secure access to healthcare services. She is a founding member of the Thai Transgender Alliance, a working group to strengthen the transgender community and advocacy efforts. She specifically focuses on education and health for transgender youth. In addition to her activism, Kath is an Advocacy and Communications Officer for the Raks Thai Foundation, which works to prevent HIV/AIDS in Thailand.
What Kath has missed most from Thailand:
I missed the food so much, but food here is so diverse and I do love the food here so much too.Kath's favorite part of the trip:
I love the activities with youth. I loved to talk and learn their personalities and listen their power of sharing in many topics. I love to go to the trainingsin school so much.
What Kath has learned that she will use in her work back home:
I learned the importance of inclusiveness awareness as EmpowerMT working with young people. It's been such a great learning moment from me. This is something I hope to develop in my home country.One thing that's new or weird that Kath has encountered in the US:
The American value of volunteering is what I most appreciated. People always support others and make a good society for everyone.Check out Kath's blog post on the ACLU Press Conference on I-183
Naw Paw Eh (Marvelous) from Yangon, Myanmar
Empowerment Work: Marvelous works primarily with youth to build trust and peace with people from diverse ethnicities and religions in a country that has confronted numerous conflicts. She helps youth to better understand how to address issues of religion and ethnicity in a time and place where these are extremely sensitive issues. Having earned a master's degree in divinity, and being a member of the Karen ethnic minority, she has conducted peace building training with faith-based communities, with a focus on Karen Christian areas. Marvelous has also volunteered as a facilitator in the National Level Political Dialogue in the Peace Process of Myanmar on behalf of the Karen National Union.
What Marvelous has missed most from Myanmar: Food and family
Marvelous' favorite part of the trip: The leadership style at home and working has been one of my favorite parts of the trip.
What Marvelous has learned that she will use in her work back home: The attitude and volunteering spirit is something I have learned that I will use in my work back home.
One thing that's new or weird that Marvelous has encountered in the US: How the community cares for the young people is one new thing I have encountered in Missoula.
Pan Nu Zaw from Mandalay, Myanmar
Empowerment Work: Zaw works as a Girls Safety and Security Coordinator at Colorful Girls. Colorful Girls is a local NGO that seeks to empower young women. In contrast to the work of many other gender empowerment organizations, Colorful Girls does not provide vocational training, but rather, seeks to instill leadership skills, confidence, and education so that young women can effectively advocate for themselves and for social change, both in the home and in the public sphere.
What Zaw has missed most from Myanmar: Food!
Zaw's favorite parts of the trip:
I loved to see the snow
I've love to work together and learn from EmpowerMT
People in Missoula are friendly
I like the University of Montana
What Zaw has learned that she will use in her work back home: The leadership style at EmpowerMT like the style of starting meetings and communication with colleagues. Also the style of dealing with children like giving them respect, letting them talk, and listening to them.
One thing that's new or weird that Zaw has encountered in the US: The taste of the food (I am sorry!) because it's kind of strange- like plain and sometimes salty.
The Montana Racial Equity Project and EmpowerMT are pleased to present Dismantling Hate: Building Skills for an Inclusive Community again, this time to the Missoula community!
Facilitated by the MTREP & EmpowerMT this session will enable you to develop skills and strategies to:
• Identify our own cultural lenses, and the cultural lenses of others.
• Build a shared language and foundation of understanding about oppression and its impact on fellow com-munity members.
• Develop skills for interrupting oppression when we see it in our communities.

Transgender day of remembrance will be held on Monday, November 20th. There will be a candlelight vigil at 7 pm on the Oval followed by a roundtable discussion in the Branch center about violence towards the transgender community. (view the Facebook event here)
IRC Family Mentor Volunteer Training
Come learn how to be an IRC Family Mentor Volunteer and support refugees as they begin their new lives in Missoula!
IRC's Family Mentor Volunteer training occurs EVERY month, on the third Wednesday of each month, from 5:30-7:30pm at IRC. (view the Facebook event here)
Meet the Transgender Americans Who Won on Election Day
In an incredible turnout of pro-equality voters, Americans across the country elected at least seven out transgender people to office during yesterday's election.
These historic wins took place in states across the country from Georgia to Pennsylvania, as Americans rejected the vitriolic rhetoric that Donald Trump and Mike Pence continue to spew.
HRC applauds the following openly transgender candidates who won a wide variety of races: (continue reading here).
Mayor-elect Wilmot Collins keeps focus on Helena as election gets national buzz
Helena Mayor-elect Wilmot Collins, dressed in a U.S. Army fleece, running shoes and sweats, belts out the lyrics to "Your Man" in a deep bass and "Baby, lock the door and turn the lights down low," trilling a bit on the last note before breaking out into a laugh.
"I love karaoke, man," he said the day after he unseated Helena's mayor of 16 years Jim Smith on a vote of 5,139-4,801, with all but provisional ballots counted. "We went to the Rialto last night after the election and sang. I always start with Brooks & Dunn's 'Neon Moon' and then do some Josh Turner." (continue reading here)
To Fail Or Not To Fail: The Fierce Debate Over High Standards
"I can't teach the book right now," says Shaka Greene, algebra teacher at Ron Brown College Preparatory High School. "Because my students are still learning to add 49 plus 17."
So begins Part 3 — the conclusion of our podcast series: Raising Kings: A Year of Love and Struggle at Ron Brown College Prep.
This radical new high school in Washington, D.C., is really two schools — two approaches — in one. It strives to teach students traditional subjects, including algebra and English, while also helping them grow socially and emotionally. But both efforts require valuable class time, and the school struggles to find a balance. (continue reading here)

I don't think a single one of us is immune to occasional tired puffy eyes. Here are some peeper savers that I've been enjoying for a quick fix or regular 'maintenance'.
Organic Surge Eye Gel £8.49 link - straight from the fridge this cools and soothes my eye area with a gentle tingling effect as it initially gets to work. A blend of natural skin-soothers and hydrators including the ancient herb, Eyebright, make this ideal for eyes irritated by pollen or sun exposure. Witch hazel, green tea and aloe vera and green tea all help combat puffiness, dryness and sagging.
Apivita Express Beauty with Grape £3 link - designed to be used 2-3 times a week, these little sachets are single use eye masks containing grape seed oil and wild oats to reduce expression lines around the eyes. Rice, olive oil, shea butter and beeswax help soften the skin and improve elasticity. I find these super soothing to use on tired eyes or to pep up the skin before a night out.
Soap & Glory Puffy Eye Attack £12.50 link - this dinky little pot of daily under-eye cream also acts as an instant de-puffer. The bouncy gel-mousse texture feels lovely on the skin and mine drinks it straight up. Botanical peptides, 'oxyginseng' and hydrators all help boost elasticity and firm skin around the eyes with continued use.
Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energising Eye Mask, £35.80 link - a marine collagen-infused treatment that I save for when my peepers need a serious pick me up. I guess most people would reach for this the morning after, but I like to use it before a night out to really pep up my eyes and plump the skin. This mask contains 3 oxygenated glow-enablers to brighten, de-puff and hydrate. Press the small corner to release the fluid onto the eye patches, apply and relax for 15 minutes, then walk away brighter eyed and bushy tailed!
Or you could just reach for a couple of slices of cucumber!

Land purchase will help Washington district expand holding nursery
A former gravel quarry will soon serve as the new home for Spokane Conservation District, and with it comes more than 35 acres of Ponderosa pine that the district hopes will provide educational opportunities to local landowners and partners. Read more>>>
Tooke named new USFS Chief
The Forests in the Farm Bill Coalition (FIFB) released its 2018 Farm Bill recommendations in mid-July. The National Association of Conservation Districts has been an active participant in the creation of the recommendations, serving on two of the coalition's working groups to ensure that NACD's policies and principles were included.
U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell announced his retirement in August after 40 years of service to the agency. Tony Tooke, who is currently serving as the regional forester for the Southern Region, will succeed Tidwell starting September 1.
"NACD congratulates Chief Tidwell on his many years of dedicated service, and is grateful for all he has accomplished as a friend of conservation," NACD CEO Jeremy Peters said. "We look forward to working with Chief Tooke in his new role to address barriers to forest health nationwide, and to ensure conservation districts play a role in both public and private lands conservation."
Tooke has worked for the Forest Service since he was 18 years old. Prior to becoming a Regional Forester, he was the associate deputy chief for the National Forest System (NFS), director for Ecosystem Management Coordination, deputy director for Economic Recovery, and assistant director for Forest Management.
"Tony has been preparing for this role for his whole professional life, and at a time when we face active and growing fires, his transition into leadership will be seamless... His focus will be on ensuring we are good neighbors and are managing our forests effectively, efficiently, and responsibly, as well as working with states and local governments to ensure the utmost collaboration," Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said.

As the national forestry programs manager with the National Wild Turkey Federation, Rebecca Barnard provides direction to NWTF's forestry outreach and partnership efforts; serves as a liaison to federal, state, NGO, and for-profit forestry organizations; and promotes active forest management to internal and external audiences. Prior to November 2013, she served as the forest certification coordinator for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Barnard recently sat down with NACD to discuss a number of NWTF initiatives and how it helps promote forest management. Read more>>>
AFF President pens "Supporting our Forests through the Farm Bill" for NACD's The Resource
The summer edition of The Resource includes a guest column from American Forest Foundation (AFF) President Tom Martin about the importance of protecting forestry programs through the Farm Bill. AFF and NACD were both active partners in the Forests in the Farm Bill Coalition this summer.
In his column, Martin writes, "We work in partnership with NACD at both the federal level and on the ground to move the needle on some of our biggest forest health challenges like wildfire, insect epidemics, forest conversion and more, in order to protect our vital forest resources."
The summer edition also includes columns from NACD President Brent Van Dyke and CEO Jeremy Peters; a feature story on the progress 42 conservation districts have made in increasing technical assistance capacity for urban agriculture; recaps of NACD's summer and region meetings and the Leadership Symposium hosted in Lincoln; and three stories spotlighting districts in Massachusetts, Arkansas, and Kentucky.

Montana - District partnership with USFW helps ranchers following fire
Thousands of cattle displaced by the 270,200-acre Lodgepole Complex fire were relocated to the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, thanks in large part to an arrangement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).
Cattle will be allowed to stay on the refuge until November 1. The stay guarantees thousands of calves won't be sold early at discounted rates that could break a ranch budget. Many locals are grateful for FWS' assistance, including Dean Rogge, farmer/rancher and board member for the Garfield County Conservation District.
"They're our heroes today," Rogge told the Billings Gazette. "We're just thankful the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service came to our aid." Rogge also said the conservation district has spent years developing a partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. That relationship helped open up CMR grass to ranchers in a hurry.

Maine - SWCD hosts low impact forestry workshop
The Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District has partnered with the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association to host an "Introduction to Low Impact Forestry" workshop this summer. The workshop is designed for stewards of small or large woodlots who are interested in safely developing a set of skills to cut and harvest wood products in an ecologically sound tradition. Topics will include silviculture, woodland ecology, soils, tree identification, an overview of logging equipment, legal considerations of forestry activities, minimizing residual stand damage, and creating management plans. Registration is $50 and includes a catered lunch. Click here to read the full story.
Oregon - District assists Forest Service with riparian restoration project
Forest Service biologists have joined forces with the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, Oregon Natural Desert Association, Grant Soil and Water Conservation District, private landowners, and livestock permittees to restore riparian systems within East Fork Beech Creek. To accelerate fish habitat recovery efforts and eventually get fish species delisted, the Forest Service and partners are targeting streams that provide critical habitat on the Malheur National Forest.
