Orongo (in rapanui: Oroŋo) è un villaggio di pietra e un centro religioso all'estremità sud-ovest di Rapa Nui (Isola di Pasqua). La prima metà delle 53 case in muratura di pietra del villaggio furono studiate e ricostruite nel 1974 dall'archeologo americano William Mulloy. Nel 1976 Mulloy, assistito dagli archeologi cileni Claudio Cristino e Patricia Vargas, completò l'opera di ricostruzione dell'intero complesso, che fu successivamente studiato da Cristino nel 1985 e nel 1995. Orongo si trova in una posizione drammatica, sul cratere del Ranu Kau in un punto in cui 250 metri di scogliera sul mare convergono con la parete interna del cratere del Ranu Kau. Oggi Orongo ha lo status di Patrimonio Umanitario in quanto parte del Parco Nazionale Rapa Nui.

Storia

Fino a metà del XIX secolo, Orongo era il centro del culto del Tangata manu (uomo-uccello), ospitava l'annuale corsa che consisteva nel riportare intatto un uovo di manutara (Onychoprion fuscatus, sterna fuligginosa) dall'isolotto di Motu Nui fino a Orongo. La gara era molto pericolosa, e gli avventori spesso morivano tuffandosi dalla scogliera o uccisi dagli squali. Il sito presenta numerose Incisioni rupestri, la maggior parte delle quali rappresentanti il tangata manu, che potrebbero essere state scolpite per celebrare alcuni vincitori.

Intorno al 1860, la maggior parte degli abitanti dell'Isola di Pasqua morirono di malattie o furono resi schiavi, e quando i sopravvissuti furono convertiti al Cristianesimo, Orongo venne abbandonato. Nel 1868, la squadra HMS Topaze rimosse l'enorme moai di basalto conosciuto come Hoa Hakananai'a da Orongo, adesso si trova al British Museum.

Il sito di Orongo fu incluso nel 1996 nel World Monuments Watch dal World Monuments Fund, e fu incluso ancora quattro anni più tardi, nel 2000 World Monuments Watch. La minaccia erano l'erosione, causata dalle precipitazione e dal calpestio. Dopo il 2000, l'organizzazione progettò un piano di gestione del sito grazie anche al supporto American Express, e, nel dicembre 2009, ulteriori fondi furono annunciati per la costruzione di un centro sostenibile per visitatori.

Isola di Pasqua


Vaping — smoking e-cigarettes — has become the go-to alternative for those who struggle to give up smoking. While it's generally believed that vaping is safer than smoking because there are reduced numbers of carcinogens, a new study suggests that vaping can damage vital immune system cells, making e-cigs more harmful than previously thought. According to TimesNowNews, researchers found that it only takes 48 hours for the vapers to disable immune cells in the lungs and boost inflammation, and to impair alveolar macrophages that remove potentially damaging dust particles, bacteria and allergens.
Addictions can be incredibly hard to overcome, but it is possible to conquer an addiction, whether it's smoking or drugs or simply an annoying habit you'd like to break. I have some strategies that can help address addictions of all sorts, but I can't pass up saying that if you smoke e-cigarettes, you may be simply trading one addiction for another, especially since it's the nicotine in cigarettes that is most likely to cause your addiction.
You see, despite delivering lower levels of it, e-cigs still have some nicotine in them, along with detectable toxins such as diacetyl, formaldehyde and diethylene glycol, to name a few, along with unsafe levels of heavy metals including lead, nickel, chromium and manganese.
That said, if you're struggling with giving up smoking, I believe the "secret" to quitting smoking is to get healthy first, which will make quitting mentally and physically easier. Exercising is an important part of this plan, as research shows people who engage in regular strength training double their success rate at quitting smoking compared to those who don't exercise.
Find a healthy emotional outlet. Many use exercise, meditation or relaxation techniques for this. I also recommend incorporating Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to help clear out emotional blockages from your system (some of which you might not even realize are there), thus restoring your mind and body's balance and helping you break the addiction and avoid cravings.
Once you are regularly doing these three things, then you can begin to think about quitting smoking. At this point many are ready to try quitting "cold turkey." If you need a distraction, these six things to do instead of smoking may help.

Online classes are similar to traditional face-to-face classes in that there is a real instructor and fellow students. There are grades, assignments, textbooks, lectures, readings, quizzes and tests along with due dates. The main difference is that instead of meeting in a classroom, students "access" their class via a web site. Distance Education classes are NOT independent study. There is a weekly schedule, so the student needs to access the class a few times during the week to participate. This may include discussions, see announcements and view changes. Many online courses will require the student to come to the campus for tests (check web advisor/Titan Direct for on campus requirements). Communication for online classes is through email, discussions and chats. Additional information (if provided by professor) is available under the semester offerings link.
ONLINE (ONL): A course where all instruction traditionally provided in class is replaced with instruction online. However, an online course may require an in-person student orientation and/or proctored test/assignments.
HYBRID (HYB): Instruction is provided both in-class and online (in any combination). Face to face meeting may include lectures, group work, presentations etc. Students in hybrid courses should log into Blackboard on the first day of the semester and not wait until the first on campus meeting.
VIRTUAL CAMPUS (VIR): Fully online courses, certificates, or programs designed to provide students quality distance education consistent with the Virtual Campus' mission statement. There is no on campus requirement. Read further about Virtual Campus opportunities at CCM.
Before a student can register for any course, they must be admitted to the college through the Admissions Office. Click on the admissions tab at www.ccm.edu for online application. If you are a visiting student, follow the instructions offered on the admissions link. Registering for a distance learning course is the same procedure as for on-campus CCM courses. If a section is closed, an online waiting list is now available in WebAdvisor/Titans Direct. Distance Education courses have course caps and may be closed to enrollment.
Just prior to the start of the semester/session an email to your @student.ccm.edu account is sent to registered Distance Education students. All students (including visiting) have a CCM email account. It will contain important information about logging onto Blackboard and general information. Remember, courses are not available for login until the first day of the term.
Be sure to check out the Student Guide to Distance Learning for all pertinent information regarding distance education at CCM. Some instructors have mandatory orientation. To check for mandatory orientations, please be sure to view web advisor/Titan Direct or the current semester offerings list and check the Specific Course Information as well as the link under the course title (if provided). Still have questions? Just contact distance education at 973-328-5184 or email lrcdist@ccm.edu.
Bb Student Mobile App is available in IOS, Android and the windows app stores for free. Please note the app may not mirror the full-version of Blackboard that you access via your desktop/laptop.
Most often the assignment is typed, saved and then attached to an email, discussion posting, or assignment drop box. The syllabus and assignment descriptions usually explain how assignments are to be submitted. This will depend on the professor's preference. Questions regarding specific assignments should be directed toward your professor. For more information, please see the tutorial for help.
Tests and quizzes come in different formats. Most are in the same form as a traditional face to face class. This includes multiple choice, fill-in, and essay. Some tests are given online, within the content of the online class itself. At CCM, many quizzes and tests are given on campus and a photo ID is required. Please visit the TESTING CENTER online to set up an appointment, should you be instructed to have your test proctored on campus. Remember, you will have to log in to your class with your password, therefore be sure to bring your password with you. Often tests are timed and there are strict dates when the test is available. View Blackboard Testing Tips. Additional information can also be found on the Blackboard website.
If you will not be available to come on campus for exams should contact the professor before taking the course and find out what accommodations can be made. Students living at a distance too great to come to campus, may arrange to have their exams proctored at an approved site near their home. Be sure to contact your instructor ahead of time to make the necessary accommodations. Off campus proctored testing is provided at the Testing Center for CCM hosted courses. Off-campus proctored testing can be done at any Testing Center certified by the National College Testing Assoc. Contact the Testing Center at 973-328-6166 0r email them for additional information.
Free supplemental 24/7 on demand tutoring support and resources across a wide range of subjects. Online tutoring is an added supplemental support service to assist all CCM students, especially those who may only be taking online and/or hybrid courses or who may not have access to campus everyday. Furthermore, online tutoring addresses the needs of students during the evenings, weekends, holidays, winter and summer terms, when the Center may not be open or operating with limited hours and available in-person tutors.

How to Choose the Best Casino Strategy in 2023
If you ask an experienced casino player to describe the best game strategy, he will ask clarifying questions. The term "game strategy" is too extensive to be considered generically without careful analysis of multiple nuances.
What do they mean by this concept? Often we are talking about entirely different fields. Thus, authors of books on gambling or articles on thematic sites may have in mind:
The overall set of measures aimed at achieving maximum results in the casino;
Algorithms or betting systems in a particular game;
The most profitable actions in terms of mathematical probability to be taken in different gaming situations;
Bankroll management methods, and so on.
Moreover, pro gamblers have different opinions about strategies for certain types of games. For example, while it is impossible to succeed without it in blackjack and roulette, they usually do not help to beat the casino.
How can a beginner understand the variety of strategies of the game? How can you choose a useful one without wasting time and money on pacifiers? How can you beat a casino, after all?
The game strategy reviews from our experts will help the players with this.
All strategies published on the pages of our gambling guide are divided into thematic sections by genre. This structure will help you quickly find the tips and tricks that interest you. We consider both effective methods and fake systems.
Add that helpful information and tips on different games in the thematic subgroups of the "Articles."
When we say that the strategy is effective, we mean the following:
It reduces the house edge in certain games, thereby increasing the probability of winning.
If the system does not affect the RTP and casino advantage, we honestly warn readers about it.
Here are two examples:
The basic strategy of blackjack helps you to win;
The martingale betting system does not allow you to succeed.
This principle is the basis of our interpretation of strategies, algorithms, and systems.
At the same time, we recognize that many techniques have a practical sense even without increasing the RTP. They help to organize the gameplay, control the movement of funds, monitor time limits, and so on.
All pros and cons of casino game strategies are listed in reviews.
Over the years, while roulette has been one of the most popular casino games, dozens of well-known "win-win" strategies and systems have been suggested.
General recommendations for roulette from our experts:
Choose the most profitable varieties of the game and give preference for certain bets.
Select French roulette with the La Partage. Playing it on even chances, you will reduce the house edge to 1.35%.
This is the optimal strategy we recommend for beginners and experienced fans of the "Casino Queen."
Martingale, d'Alembert, Thomas Donald, and other authors' betting systems are also widely known. They can be used for different purposes but will not help you beat a roulette casino. These algorithms do not reduce the casino's math advantage or increase the chances of success.
However, we review them in detail so the players can get a comprehensive impression.
Casinos offer different types of poker, including three-card poker, Texas Hold'em, Caribbean Stud, Oasis Poker, and others.
In all such versions, the result, in one way or another, depends on the customer's actions. Thus, the optimal poker strategy significantly increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
Casinoz experts advise playing the main types of poker against the casino. The reviews consider the basic recommendations step by step, taking into account possible nuances and deviations from the standard rules.
It is impossible to imagine a blackjack master unfamiliar with basic strategy principles. This is the basis of the professional game for money.
To achieve maximum results, you'll have to study its key provisions and learn how to apply them in practice. Also, you must be able to adjust the game system to make it fit the variety of your choice perfectly.
Let's remind you that playing blackjack on the basic strategy does not give a 100% guarantee of winning in each session. It only maximizes the victory probability.
In this section, Casinoz experts also explain the principles of card counting, shuffle tracking, sequencing, and other methods that pro gamblers have used since long ago.
Our articles will teach you how to play correctly and often win in blackjack, highlight the features of strategies of less common variations, and explain other nuances.
Craps has a wide variety of bets. They include different indicators of the house edge. The smaller it is, the more preferable the bet is for the client.
This game allows you to reduce the casino advantage to the minimum if you follow the right strategy. It is described in detail in one of our articles. Believe us; these recommendations will teach you how to win at craps.
Also, enthusiasts have developed numerous algorithms and betting systems that may interest our readers. Read about them in particular reviews.
Card and table casino games are not limited to varieties of poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps. This section also includes other games. Strategies have been developed for many of them, allowing you to play more efficiently.
These techniques are discussed in a separate subsection of Casinoz.
Video poker is one of the most profitable games for a casino player. The return to the player may exceed 99.5%. But achieving this level is possible only with the help of an optimal gaming strategy designed for particular video poker.
Our articles reveal the secrets of choosing the best video poker and game systems and discuss them along with step-by-step recommendations. They teach you how to play video poker professionally.
The sad truth is:
Most video slots do not allow the player to affect the level of the RTP. In other words, the result depends exclusively on the random number generator. You have to rely on luck.
The exception is for slots with different RTP levels. For example, it may grow when the jackpot amount increases.
The best strategy for slots is to choose the most profitable games in means of the RTP.
It would help if you also considered the level of variance, the range of bets, and some other indicators, which Casinoz experts talk about in the thematic articles.
Do not confuse recommendations for playing on casino slots with so-called betting systems. Such methods are algorithms by which you need to change the amount at stake based on the results of previous spins.
Betting systems do not help to win on slots! You will not beat the casino with their help!
However, we discuss them in the reviews. Moreover, we recognize that they can be helpful for many gamblers. For example, they help to control the expenditure of funds, organize the gameplay, make it possible to monitor time spent at the casino, and so on.
Read the articles for the pros and cons of betting systems on slot machines.
Arcade games, scratch cards, lotteries, keno, bingo, simulation of betting on horse racing, and other fun stuff not included in different categories are widely represented at modern online casinos and are popular. No effective strategies exist for most of them.
After a player makes a bet, he is left to rely on his fortune in the form of a random number generator.
We talk about those rare cases when it can affect the result of the drawing in the special section.
Posts about betting systems and strategies vary in style, content, and other characteristics. The unique features of different genres explain this.
At the beginning of the review, we briefly introduce the game to the reader. We then present the technique under consideration.
If it requires a step-by-step explanation, we describe the system step by step, giving illustrative examples.
Many articles come with screenshots with templates of chips' location on the playing field or table with data on all possible situations.
The strategy reviews end with a list of pros and cons.
First of all, decide what your goal is when playing for money.
If you are aiming for maximum results, be prepared to work hard. Professional casino gambling is a job that does not always bring pleasure. Forget about creativity and diversity. You will find it a tedious and sometimes tedious process.
If you want to have fun without bothering yourself with confusing strategies and multi-level systems, give preference to simple gambling—select games with the maximum return that does not require special knowledge and skills from you.
In any case, the recommendations of Casinoz experts will allow you to avoid stupid mistakes and win more often.
After selecting a game, study the information in the thematic section. Look through the expert's recommendations. Find out what result you can reach. Figure out what you need to do.
When it comes to blackjack, poker, or video poker, you will need to practice in free mode and then play for money. You can use cheat sheets in the online casino, which makes it more accessible.
Casinoz experts will be happy to answer any questions regarding casino gambling strategies.
You can keep saying you come to an online casino to play for fun. But we know for sure that winning is much more pleasant than losing.
Every gambler needs to boost his level. The element of a strategy is present even in the simplest games with a fixed level of return to the player.
At least, you can learn how to plan a game process, control finances, derive maximum benefit from bonus offers, and choose the most profitable games.
Stop being an amateur, mindlessly making bets at online casinos. Read strategy reviews at Casinoz and move on to a new level. We will teach you how to win at the casino.

How surprised were you by Lorena Ochoa's retirement?
I was not surprised by her desire to retire, as she did not make it a secret that she would not be out on tour for a long time. Lorena and I have had many discussions regarding careers and other subjects but I was caught somewhat off guard as to her timing.
Your recent progress has been checked by a number of injuries. Have you always struggled to stay injury free?
None of my injuries have been as serious as the torn ligament in my thumb which kept me out for the first half of this year. My stomach illness at the end of 2008 is still a medical mystery to the expert team that treated me and they are still monitoring me.
Are you a patient person away from the course?
Are you implying that I'm not a patient person on the course (laughs)? Hopefully I am getting more patient, be it on or off the course. Sitting out half the season tends to give you a lot of time to evaluate things.
What did you first think after your first round of links golf?
Birkdale in 2005 initiated me the hard way. My entire first round was played in cold, rainy and extremely windy conditions. In my practice round on a par 4, I hit driver, 6 iron to the green. The next day, in the first round, I hit driver, 3 wood, and then a 9 iron to reach. After that I've been ready for anything!
You can get some quirky bounces. What do you say to yourself when your ball kicks into a bunker?
It is never fun to see good shots getting penalised but that's what makes it so different. Most of the time you can't see where your ball lands so you go by the gallery's response. My caddy, Colin Cann, is British, so doesn't let me get too far out of sync. Having grown up playing on these courses he knows what to expect and is able to keep me quite calm – most of the time.
I have great confidence in my matchplay abilities and anything is possible with that format but it really has no place in a Major championship. What are your top three courses here?
Playing at the Old Course at St Andrews has to be my favourite, especially since the final round, in 2007, was on my 21st birthday. But I like Birkdale and Lytham very much too, so I guess those are my top three. It is hard to choose since they are all Hall of Fame-type courses. Wherever I win my first Women's British Open will probably become my clear favourite.
How often did you get asked about not having won a Major?
I always felt the expression 'Best Player Not To Have Won A Major' applied to someone who had been around a long time so at 21, when I was first asked about it, I was honoured that people respected my game enough to think I should have already won a Major. I was fine with it as I knew it was simply a matter of time before I won my first. If I was still being asked that question at 35 I might have had a different answer.
Your Solheim Cup record is up there with the best. Should one of the Majors be a matchplay event?
Interesting question, who knows? I have great confidence in my matchplay abilities and anything is possible with that format but it really has no place in a Major championship.
You are not yet 24 but do you feel like one of the old timers now on the LPGA Tour?
This is my sixth year as a pro and, in some ways, I do feel like a veteran but, in other ways, I don't. In reality, I am still very young and I am learning so much. Whenever I think of being a veteran I just remind myself of Juli Inkster and then I feel like a rookie again!

Slowing Down Alzheimer's Plaques
University of Michigan researchers have learned how to fix a cellular structure called the Golgi that mysteriously becomes fragmented in all Alzheimer's patients and appears to be a major cause of the disease.
The scientists say that understanding this mechanism helps decode amyloid plaque formation in the brains of Alzheimer's patients—plaques that kills cells and contributes to memory loss and other Alzheimer's symptoms.
The researchers discovered the molecular process behind Golgi fragmentation, and also developed two techniques to 'rescue' the Golgi structure.
A release from the university quotes Yanzhuang Wang as saying, "We plan to use this as a strategy to delay the disease development.We have a better understanding of why plaque forms fast in Alzheimer's and found a way to slow down plaque formation."
The paper appears in an upcoming edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Gunjan Joshi, a research fellow in Wang's lab, is the lead author.
Wang said scientists have long recognized that the Golgi becomes fragmented in the neurons of Alzheimer's patients, but until now they didn't know how or why this fragmentation occurred.
The Golgi structure has the important role of sending molecules to the right places in order to make functional cells, Wang said. The Golgi is analogous to a post office of the cell, and when the Golgi becomes fragmented, it's like a post office gone haywire, sending packages to the wrong places or not sending them at all.
U-M researchers found that the accumulation of the Abeta peptide—the primary culprit in forming plaques that kill cells in Alzheimer's brains—triggers Golgi fragmentation by activating an enzyme called cdk5 that modifies Golgi structural proteins such as GRASP65.
Wang and colleagues rescued the Golgi structure in two ways: they either inhibited cdk5 or expressed a mutant of GRASP65 that cannot be modified by cdk5. Both rescue measures decreased the harmful Abeta secretion by about 80 percent.
The next step is to see if Golgi fragmentation can be delayed or reversed in mice, Wang said. This involves a collaboration with the Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Center at the U-M Health System, directed by Dr. Henry Paulson, professor of neurology, and Geoffrey Murphy, assistant professor of physiology and research professor at the U-M Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute.
The collaboration was made possible by MCubed, a two-year seed funding program to fuel interdisciplinary teams of U-M faculty to pursue research with major societal impact.

U.S. stocks open higher; Dow, S&P 500 hit records
Published: Sept. 18, 2017 at 11:18 a.m. ET

Fixes day of the week in lede.
U.S. stocks opened higher on Monday, with major indexes trading at or near records as concerns over the political situation with North Korea appeared to ease. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.89% rose 52 points, or 0.2%, to 22,327. The S&P 500 SPX, -1.10% added 3 points, or 0.1%, to 2,504. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -1.30% added 11 points to 6,458, a rise of 0.1%. Both the Dow and the S&P 500 hit intraday records in early trading, while the Nasdaq was within a few points of its own. Recent trading has had a pronounced upward bias, though uncertainty pertaining to North Korea has been a headwind. That issue appeared to ease after U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the U.S. seeks a "peaceful solution" and wants to "bring North Korea to the table for constructive, productive dialogue," speaking in an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation." Among the day's biggest movers, Orbital ATK Inc. OA gained 20% after Northrop Grumman Corp. NOC, -1.06% agreed to buy it for $7.8 billion in cash. Northrop fell 0.7%.
Stock-market warning signal: Here's what surging bond yields say about S&P 500 returns in next 6 months
The speed and scope of the run-up in Treasury yields could spell rough sailing ahead for stocks, says technical analyst Jeff deGraaf.

(VEN) - The Research Center for Management and Sustainable Development (MSD) recently got together with the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) and the Action for CSO Development Alliance (CSA Vietnam) to organize a workshop to share international experience in development of non-profit organizations (NPOs).
MSD Director Nguyen Phuong Linh said that NPOs had developed and made great contributions to the development of the community, particularly vulnerable groups.
ICNL Deputy Director David Moore said that one of major tools to improve the legal environment for NPOs was to learn and share experience between countries.
At the workshop experts from Cambodia, the US, Europe and Vietnam shared their experiences to help Vietnamese NPOs resolve their difficulties in establishing NPOs and resolving internal management problems./.

St Mary's Church will host a series of evenings with six guest speakers from a variety of backgrounds telling tales of their past.
The line-up includes ex-West Brom and England footballer Cyrille Regis, BBC reporter Karnie Sharp who grew up in a Hindu family during the apartheid in South Africa and reformed UVF terrorist Billie McCurrie.
Former anorexic Emma Scrivener; Jeremy Marshall, chief executive of Britain's oldest bank and John Mosey, who lost his daughter in the Lockerbie plane crash, will also talk about their experiences.
The interviews will be conducted by visiting preacher Roger Carswell for the week which runs between Monday, June 2 and Sunday, June 8, at the church in St Mary's Close, just off Maidenhead High Street.
Each 'Real Lives' evening will run between 7.30-9.30pm with tickets £2.50, available from the church office or on the door.
The church said the story of each guest will be one where 'Jesus Christ has played a leading and transforming role'.


I'm pleased to report that our first AGM passed without a hitch. We had a suitably large number of local dignataries in attendance and, more importantly, a good turn out from our membership. It was also an opportunity to introduce our team of young riders who will be representing the club at races in France, Italy and Spain next year.
Gratifyingly, the club enjoyed its greatest number of successes ever on the road this past season and the club recognised this important step by presenting its Directeur Sportif with a magnificent trophy that was almost the same size as him. I also added to my ever growing collection of cups with two enormous trophies: one for cycling further and the other for turning up more often than any of the other female club members. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of competition. This is the third year in succession I've made a clean sweep of the trophies.
Despite the massive turn-out, there was sufficient for everyone at the "apero" afterwards. Remember my motto "never knowingly under catered?" Prior to my departure for Australia, I had used the contents of my fridge to make a number of savoury cakes which I then popped into the freezer specifically for this event. These disappeared rapidly along with the pizza and pissaladiere. Clearly, my reputation as a cook is spreading as M le Maire made reference to my cakes in his closing speech, and afterwards was seen visibly enjoying them. This is important as we're hoping for a greater subsidy in the coming season.
A number of our local professionals were unable to attend the AGM as one of their number was getting married today and they were all attending the wedding. More importantly, however, they have agreed to ride from time to time with our youngsters and give them the benefit of their experiences in the professional peloton. Another has agreed to be the team's patron and we'll be arranging a photo-shoot shortly. My beloved, now firmly established as the club's resident photographer, will be wielding the camera lens. Indeed, he took some shots yesterday evening which I'll add to the post as soon as he's edited them.
This is a Bank Holiday week end in France and it looks as if we'll be getting some typically British Bank Holiday weather ie rain. Fortunately, my beloved and I decided to brave the extremely windy conditions this morning to enjoy a ride along the coast. There's a real autumnal feel in the air and the surrounding hills already have a dusting of snow. Rain is forecast for this evening, tomorrow and Monday. This will probably mean the cancellation of both tomorrow's pointage at Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Monday's club ride. Home trainer, here I come.
With the temperature dropping, it's time for some winter warmers such as Cassoulet and Bigos. Of course, it's going to be a bit of a challenge making both recipes according to my new regime but I'm becoming quite inventive within its strictures. No point in coming up with recipes that don't taste as good, or almost as good, as the originals.
I'm now feeling much more myself, particularly after this morning's ride. After 48hours without any solids, I managed a bowl of my delicious home-made vegetable soup yesterday evening and some cinnamon porridge this morning. I have yet to leap onto the scales to ascertain what, if any, effect this has had on my weight, but it had better be negative!

Hornettes Stay Perfect In Conference Play
Paige Kasten gets fouled as she puts up a shot during the Hornettes 56-35 win over DuQuoin.
By Brent Huelsmann
The Nashville Hornettes girls basketball team is on a roll to start off the new year. Coming off of a sixth place finish in the Mascoutah Tournament, the Hornettes have won three straight games, all on the road, as they defeated Carbondale, DuQuoin, and Anna-Jonesboro. The Hornettes are now 14-4 on the season, and lead the SIRR Mississippi Division with a 6-0 record.
Nashville got the new year started with a 51-20 win over Carbondale on January 2. The Hornettes got the lead early, and used a big third quarter to put away the Terriers.
The Hornettes got a balanced scoring effort in the first, as they were able to take an early 11-7 lead over Carbondale. With just a four point lead at the start of the frame, Nashville would take control of the game in the second. The Hornettes would get a great quarter from Libby Ahlers, who scored 9 of the 11 points for Nashville in the second. Defensively the Hornettes would allow just two points, and held a 22-9 halftime lead.
In the third, the Hornettes put the game out of reach for good. Nashville outscored Carbondale 15-2 in the quarter and held a commanding 37-11 lead with one quarter to play. In the fourth, the Hornettes were able to cruise to a 51-20 win.
Ahlers finished with 20 points to lead all scorers in the game. Karly Stanowski added 14 points in the win for Nashville. Paige Kasten added seven points, while Emily Stern and Rachael Kell each finished with four points. Sabrina Kollbaum rounded out the scoring with two points.
In the Hornettes first conference matchup of the year, Nashville caught fire from behind the arc as they defeated DuQuoin 56-35.
The Hornettes would get off to a slow start in the contest, as DuQuoin led for the majority of the first quarter of the contest. After eight minutes of play, the Hornettes trailed 11-10.
The second quarter was when the Hornettes began to light it up from the outside. Nashville would hit five three pointers in the quarter, three of which came from Kasten. A lot of excitement in the second quarter of play. Early in the frame, Stanowski stepped to the line with a chance to reach 1000 career points. Stanowski would connect on one of two free throws to reach the milestone. The three point shot turned a tie game, into a double digit lead. The Hornettes quickly turned a 17-15 lead into a 30-19 lead to take control of the game. At half, Nashville led 30-22.
It was more of the same in the third quarter. Kell would connect three times from behind the line to help extend the Hornettes lead from 30-22 at halftime, to 46-31 after three quarters of play. In the fourth, Nashville would outscore DuQuoin 10-4 to close out the win.
Hornettes coach Doug Althoff talked about the three point shooting after the game. "That's what they gave us, fortunately we knocked them down, and that really did make the difference in the game. We got that lead on them and kind of sustained it after that."
Althoff went on to talk about Stanowski reaching 1000 points. "It's one of those things. She knew about it. Pressing a little bit. It's better to just get it done and taken care of and play your normal game after that. Give DuQuoin credit they did a good job on her tonight. They weren't going to let her beat them. So they gave us the opportunity to shoot the threes, and Rachael and Paige had a good game from the perimeter, and even Libby knocked one down to. That makes a huge difference."
Kasten led Nashville with 18 points, and went 4-5 from behind the arc. Kell was 5-7 from three point range in the win for 15 points. Stanowski scored nine in the win, followed by Ahlers with eight. Sophie Heck added four points, and Kollbaum finished with two points.
The Hornettes won their third straight road contest to begin 2018, as they defeated Anna-Jonesboro 41-21.
Again the Hornettes had the three ball working, as Kasten connected three times from behind the arc in the first quarter to help the Hornettes to a 11-4 lead after one quarter of play. In the second, the Hornettes extended their lead, but not by much. Nashville outscored Anna-Jonesboro 6-5 in the frame and held a 17-11 halftime lead.
In the third, the Hornettes went 5-7 from the line to help Nashville outscore Anna-Jonesboro 13-9 and take a 30-18 lead into the fourth. In the final frame, the Hornettes outscored the Lady Wildcats 11-3 to take the 41-21 win.
Kasten led the Hornettes with 13 points in the win. Both Stanowski and Ahlers added 10 points, while Kell knocked down a three pointer for her only three points of the contest. Heck and Kollbaum each added two points, and Stern finished with one point in the win.
Nashville returns home for their next contest against Carlyle on January 11 before beginning play in the Highland Girls Basketball Tournament against Salem on January 13.

Should not there be a policy to NOT region a land for people until there is SOMETHING in it, and then, only sticking to necessary boundaries?
Come on, there is exactly such one empty region at +115 +250, with a chest and a crafting table and a sign... this warrants 16 chunks?
Completely agree, it's an outrage and so forth and yadda yadda, Nuch was saying the same thing, he is making a city and knows exactly what he is going to do with the land around him, then gets boxed in by empty regions. It's kinda pointless... I did region him an area he hadn't built in simply so it wouldn't be taken, otherwise his city (That actually has more than 4 people living in it) wouldn't be confined to a like 80x80 block area.
Yeah, I can confirm what Evil_Person said.
The city of Nova Alpa was completely boxed in by surrounding regions for a while. Both regions already had unused land, and then were extended with the original land still unused. They're all one-person regions too.
If I recall, Grandeur had a bordering region (of Nova Alpa) that was admittedly rather excessive.
The owner (Spazzlepop) was banned before, but has since been unbanned, but has not returned regardless. Next time I get on I'll trim that region down to only contain what is built, with no region cushioning around it, a region that hugs the placed blocks of spazzle.
I don't know if this would give you more room without checking, but I'll do it regardless.
Also if you can Nuch, tell me where that massive region with just a chest is, or whose it is, I'll also review the size of that region.
That region he is mentioning is turkyhome. I actually rolled back some grief there. There seems to be a little hut made of iron and redstone blocks.
...he made another one? Didn't we already... well atleast he has it zoned now.

The Sri Lankan government has formally withdrawn from a ceasefire agreement with Tamil Tiger rebels.
It said escalating violence had made the Norwegian-brokered truce redundant. The accord came into effect in February 2002 ahead of inconclusive peace talks.
Since mid-2006 troops and rebels have fought regular clashes, despite the deal still technically being in place.
There was no immediate response from the Tigers, who want independence for Tamils in Sri Lanka's north and east.
"The Cease Fire Agreement [CFA] had been violated nearly 10,000 times by the Tamil Tigers, so we should annul this agreement," the cabinet's spokesman on security matters, Keheliya Rambukwella, told the BBC.
"National security is threatened at every corner," he said.
Mr Rambukwella said that the "foremost thing in the country is to uphold national security" which was why the government had taken the decision.
He said that withdrawal from the CFA was not a declaration of war against the Tamil Tigers, and would be done in a way that does not breach the conditions of the agreement.
Under the February 2002 ceasefire brokered by Norway, both the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tigers have the option to withdraw from the CFA after giving two weeks' written notice to the Norwegian foreign minister.
Last week, Sri Lankan Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said in public that the truce between the two sides was "moribund" and that the CFA was a "joke".
Correspondents say that even though both sides acknowledged this to be true, neither wanted to be seen as the first formally to withdraw from the ceasefire.
Mr Rambukwella argued that the government had already taken steps to address the grievances of the minority Tamil community and was holding talks with moderate Tamil parties.
So far there has been no word from the Tamil Tigers on the government's announcement, but some analysts have warned that the development will only serve to polarise the two sides.
About 5,000 people have been killed since early 2006, taking the total number of dead since the war erupted in 1983 to around 70,000.
Earlier on Wednesday, a bomb targeting a bus in the capital, Colombo, killed at least four people and injured another 20, police and military officials said.
The blast took place as the military bus was passing a busy junction in a district that houses key military installations, reports said.
A hospital official told Reuters that two of those killed were soldiers.
Military officials said they suspected the Tamil Tigers. The rebels denied involvement, Reuters reported.

Why do people lease from this property and not that one? What are some of the "subjective" factors that affect leasing choice? Multifamily demographics is a tool to measure change as it has significant influence on apartment marketing. Think "revere engineering" for lease acquisitions and lease renewals.
Demographics is such a "data rich" topic and one that reflects there are truly no two properties exactly alike. Think about demographics as a real-time tool to measure resident sentiment. Think about the scope of information that a potential resident considers and what makes a property of interest without relying on just numbers.
Property. Do I like the architecture, landscaping, parking availability and sense of place, of purpose and personal safety? These are all things people (potential residence) think about consciously and sub-consciously when deciding on a place to rent.
Neighborhood. Where will I shop? Is my church close by? Where are the parks and public spaces? What is my commute time to work? Do I have to drive to get coffee?
Resident base. Who are my neighbors? Do we speak the same language, drive the same cars, have the same pets? Are they in my age group?
Property management. Who is managing? Have I leased an apartment with this company before? Was my experience a positive experience? Is maintenance addressed?
Ownership. Have I leased from this ownership group before? Was my experience a positive experience? Is there deferred maintenance?
From the resident's perspective, leasing choice is affected by one or more of the above- always. This is why as property manager's and owner's we must pay attention to these topical categories and notice when shifts occur that impact the thinking of our customer base.
What is the Value of a Single Lease Renewal?

2022 – A Year of Both Triumph and Heartbreak
by Rosetta Miller Perry January 5, 2023 January 5, 2023
Herschel Walker, left, and Senator Raphael Warnock
By Rosetta Miller-Perry
Looking back on 2022, it was a year marked by both triumph and heartbreak for Black Americans, as well as all people of color and poor folks. This nation makes glacial progress in the areas of social justice and economic opportunity, while constantly being negatively affected by those in power who continually seek to turn back the clock, most notably led by the Tennessee Congressional delegation in Washington.
This group remains determined to make Tennessee the new Mississippi, championing ideas and measures that are repressive, backward, and hate-filled, while also consistently displaying in their public discourse an open contempt for diversity, fairness in economic policies, even democracy in their support for a failed and borderline criminal former president.
The biggest victory achieved this year in the political arena was that of Raphael Warnock in Georgia. He won a full Senatorial term, defeating an unqualified, comical Republican candidate Herschel Walker, a Trump Black minstrel stooge selected solely to try and decrease the power and influence of Black voters in the state.
Fortunately, not only did the African American electorate turn out in force for Warnock, but much of the Republican faithful who supported the GOP candidate in the governor's race didn't return to the polls and vote for Walker.
The Warnock election proved even more critical after turncoat Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema decided to become an independent right after Warnock's win gave Democrats a 51-49 working majority. Sinema says she won't caucus with either party, and she has mostly supported the Democrats, but her decision to become an independent means had Walker won the Republicans would have 50 votes, and Democrats 49 in the Senate.
Unfortunately, Black voters were unable to push Stacy Abrams through in her second bid to become Georgia governor. Brian Kemp was able to capitalize on a lot of the old style, right-wing Southern prejudices that remain in place throughout the region. But at least Warnock's presence means that the nutcase types like Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene won't be the only Georgia voices being heard in Washington.
President Joe Biden also kept his promise to Black voters by appointing Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. This still remains the worse Supreme Court since the days of Plessy vs. Ferguson that ushered in decades of Jim Crow laws and paved the way for the Civil War of April 12, 1861 – April 9, 1865. The court overturned Roe v. Wade in a stunning reversal of precedent and may well soon outlaw affirmative action in education. But Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson at least provides the only real Black voice on that right-wing bench, and a counter vision to the toxicity epitomized by my former boss, Justice Clarence Thomas.
Unfortunately, we also must look back on another year of horrible mass shootings, with the one in Buffalo being the most heinous. An 18-year-old white racist, Payton Gendron, traveled to Buffalo, New York, picked a Tops supermarket that was the only place in the area most Black could purchase groceries and opened fire with multiple weapons. When the carnage ended, 10 Blacks were killed and three severely wounded.
Thankfully, this murderer has been convicted of multiple state charges and still facing 27 federal counts of hate crimes. But the news remains dominated week after week with mass shootings, as America remains unable to find ways of stopping gun violence, or even preventing people who have no business getting guns from having easy access to them. Regrettably, it is not a problem we see being resolved in 2023.
The Tribune was also quite proud to see Rep. Bennie Thompson, a Mississippian who has been chair of the Committee on Homeland Security twice, most recently since 2019, standing tall in a leadership position on the January 6 Committee. The array of right-wing reactionaries who are taking over control of the House of Representatives will disband the Committee, and they're even talking about investigating the people on it, all to retaliate for the committee correctly pointing out that lord and master Trump tried to mastermind the overturning of a legal presidential election in America.. The committee has turned all criminal referrals to the Justice Department.
The Republicans in Tennessee brings us to what was a huge local story and remains a major disgrace, the conduct of the Tennessee state legislature. The Republican supermajority"s gerrymandering ranks supreme in Tennessee's historical records of outright power grabs. The Republicans newly drawn map effectively eliminated any chance of cosmopolitan, urban areas like Nashville and Memphis having equal political power. The state lost its best representative in Jim Cooper, who resigned rather than run within these new boundaries.
Let no one fool themselves into thinking that the current Republican legislature cares one iota about constituents in cities, and certainly not about the interests and concerns of voters who are Black, poor, unhoused, LGBTQ, or other people of color. What they did with that map might as well have been done by the White Citizens Councils of the 60s or the radical Republicans of the 19th century who destroyed Reconstruction in terms of stripping any chances for fair representation for numerous voters.
But despite that, The Tennessee Tribune hopes Black Democrats in the legislature don't just meekly accept what the Republicans have done or sit back and refuse to oppose their agenda. Though both the national and state GOP continue to label the Biden administration radical, in truth what they want to do is both radical and extremist in the worse possible way. The continuing story for 2023, both locally and nationally, will be how far the Republican Party continues to tilt towards white supremacy and hardcore reactionary politics, and how much the members of Tennessee's state legislature and national delegation continue to remain faithful to a tax cheat who stands accused of everything from obstruction of justice to interference in elections and gross sexual misconduct.
We wish all our readers a very Happy 2023, and pledge that we will continue to speak out strongly and without hesitation at the corruption and bigotry that represents so much national and statewide Republican political philosophy and policy.

Refresh this page to see various historical events that occurred during Lorn's lifetime.
In 1901, in the year that Lorn Ballinger was born, John Pierpont "J. P." Morgan created U.S. Steel. J.P. Morgan was an American banker and financier who dominated U.S. business at this time. He had previously overseen the creation of General Electric, as well as International Harvester and AT&T. He has been referred to as America's greatest banker. U.S. Steel was the first billion dollar company in the world, worth $1.4 billion in 1901.
In 1911, by the time he was merely 10 years old, British physicist Ernest Rutherford (born in New Zealand), along with German physicist Hans Geiger, discovered the structure of an atom. He found that atoms had nuclei (a nucleus) and were circled by electrons, much as planets orbit the sun.
In 1912, at the age of only 11 years old, Lorn was alive when New Mexico became the 47th state of the Union in January. Previously a province of Mexico, then a territory of the United States and mostly populated by Native Americans and Mexicans, once it became a U.S. territory it was increasingly colonized by European-American settlers. Its population was over 327,000 when it became a state.
In 1924, Lorn was 23 years old when J. Edgar Hoover, at the age of 29, was appointed the sixth director of the Bureau of Investigation by Calvin Coolidge (which later became the Federal Bureau of Investigation). The Bureau had approximately 650 employees, including 441 Special Agents. A former employee of the Justice Department, Hoover accepted his new position on the proviso that the bureau was to be completely divorced from politics and that the director report only to the attorney general.
In 1937, in the year of Lorn Ballinger's passing, on May 6th, the German zeppelin the Hindenburg caught fire and blew up. The Hindenburg was a passenger ship traveling to Frankfurt Germany. It tried to dock in New Jersey, one of the stops, and something went wrong - it blew up. Thirty-six people were killed out of the 97 on board - 13 passengers, 22 crewmen, and one ground worker. The reasons for the explosion are still disputed.

STEVE MILLER BAND "THE JOKER"
Steve Miller Band - Ultimate Hits
This American rock track was originally a UK and U.S. No.1 for The Steve Miller Band in 1973 and featured on the album of the same name. After featuring in a Levi's jeans advert during 1990, the song was re-issued and topped the British charts again for two weeks during September 1990, and also in Ireland, New Zealand and Holland.
The 1973 B-side featured a track entitled Something To Believe In, but the re-issue included a different track, Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around. The vinyl 12" version also included the intriguingly-titled Shu Ba Da Du Ma Ma Ma, and the CD Maxi single featured a fourth track; Living In The USA.
The Joker album was released a month later than the title track in October 1973, and sounded very different to previous albums, being less psychedelic and featuring more chart-friendly rock songs. The album peaked at #2 in America achieving Platinum.
