eSentire named to Deloitte's 2015 Canada Fast 50 and North America Fast 500
Cambridge, ON – eSentire Inc., a leader in Active Threat Protection solutions and continuous managed cybersecurity services, joins the prestigious Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ in Canada for its explosive growth based on the high demand for their expert cybersecurity services and Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™ in North America.
In 2013, Deloitte named eSentire on its 'Companies-to-Watch' list, acknowledging the team was on the path to success and was growing into a technology leader in Canada. eSentire has been doubling its employees and customer base year-over-year for the past three years. Federal and Provincial Government leaders have made a point of visiting eSentire's North American head office and Security Operations Centre in Cambridge to learn more about their skyrocketing success.
"It's an honour to receive this acknowledgement of the technology solution and team we have built at eSentire," said J.Paul Haynes, CEO eSentire. "We have had an amazing ride since we first caught Deloitte's attention in 2013 and we couldn't be more proud to have eSentire's name added to this year's Deloitte Technology Fast 50 and Technology Fast 500."
In September, eSentire opened its European headquarters and Security Operations Centre in Cork, Ireland to serve its growing EU customer base while continuing to steadily grow its staff in Cambridge, Ontario. The company is reliant on security expertise and is taking a leadership role to address a skills shortage for the highly unique, but in-demand skills required to become a cybersecurity analyst.
"Fast 50 companies are innovators that transform great ideas into stunning realities," said Robert Nardi, Technology, Media and Telecommunications Managing Partner for Deloitte Canada. "Their passion and determination makes them all inspiring success stories. They are vital to the Canadian technology sector."
Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 is about connecting today with tomorrow. It is about celebrating the companies – large and small, public and private, national and global – that are delivering technological innovations that make business and life more secure, easier, better.
Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 award winners are selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth over a three-year period. The ranking is compiled from applications submitted directly to the Technology Fast 500 Web site and public company database research conducted by Deloitte LLP.
About the Deloitte Technology Fast 50™
The Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ program is Canada's preeminent technology awards program. Celebrating business growth, innovation and entrepreneurship, the program features four distinct categories including the Technology Fast 50™ Ranking, Companies-to-Watch Awards (early-stage Canadian tech companies in business less than five years, with the potential to be a future Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ candidate), Leadership Awards (companies that demonstrate technological leadership and innovation within the industry) and the Deloitte Technology Green 15™ Awards (Canada's leading GreenTech companies that promote a more efficient use and re-use of the earth's resources in industrial production and consumption). Program sponsors include Deloitte, Bennett Jones and OMERS Ventures. For further information, visitwww.fast50.ca.

Although traditional crowdfunding has been around for some time a new kind of crowdfunding, one which allows investors to actually purchase an ownership stake and gives them the opportunity to make a profit from their investment, may be about to take the music industry by storm.
Equity-based crowdfunding has become an increasingly popular funding option for arts and entertainment entrepreneurs in recent years—and its popularity may be about to explode.
The reason: Until recently, only very wealthy investors who were deemed to be "accredited" by the SEC were able to participate in equity crowdfunding ventures. That all changed in October, when a new rule allowed non-accredited investors to join the party. Now, just about anybody looking to invest in a film, live production or other entertainment project can do so.
In short, the floodgates have opened.
Equity crowdfunding was a key topic during a recent panel discussion I attended, "The Business of Media and Entertainment 2015," moderated by New York City accounting firm Marks Paneth. The panel included Chris Cacace and Richard Stern (both partners with Marks Paneth Theater, Media and Entertainment Group), Robert Green (founder of Another Green World Productions), Joanna Stone Herman (managing director at DeSilva+Philips), and Alan Sacks (a partner at Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz, PC).
It also featured Maxolev Productions co-founder and Tony Award winner – Howard Kagen—who successfully used crowdfunding to raise money for On The Town.
Equity crowdfunding is not Kickstarter and Indiegogo. The most well-known crowdfunding companies are rewards-based: People give money to projects they think are cool, and in return they get exclusive rewards—which might range from basic (t-shirts) to big (a paid visit to a movie set) depending on the amount donated.
Equity crowdfunding is fundamentally different. Akin to traditional angel investing but on a bigger scale, it involves offering to a large number of people equity in a business or venture in exchange for their money. Equity crowdfunding investors don't want swag—they want an ownership stake and to make a profit on their investment.
The new non-accredited investor rule makes it easier than ever to raise capital. Arts and entertainment entrepreneurs looking to fund their projects can now send out e-mail blasts, put up banner ads on websites, and use online crowdfunding portals like Crowdfunder or RocketHub to get the word out to the world—and they can now accept capital from virtually anyone. Although SEC filings are required in most cases, entrepreneurs don't have to get SEC approval to ask the masses for money via the Internet.
There are two main tiers of non-accredited investor equity crowdsourcing options to consider.
Tier 1 allows entrepreneurs to crowdfund up to $20 million over a 12-month period from any type of investor—with no limit on the amount of money they can gather from each investor. Entrepreneurs using this approach have a state registration requirement, but don't have to provide audited financial statements or annual reports—which could result in significant cost and time savings.
For these reasons, Sacks stated that this route may be best for entrepreneurs looking to raise money for a single production.
Tier 2 allows $50 million to be raised over a 12-month period from anyone. However, this tier comes with a per-person limit: Each non-accredited investor can invest up to 10% of his or her income or net worth (whichever is higher). That means someone has to review and confirm that each investor follows the rules. Entrepreneurs also must provide audited financial statements and reports on an ongoing basis.
Those additional tasks mean this approach may be best suited to operating companies looking to produce multiple films or performances that require ongoing access to capital over time, said Sacks.
Crowdsourcing comes with potential pitfalls and issues. When entrepreneurs bring in any investor, they need to set expectations about the level of access and input that investor has in the overall entrepreneurial mission. It's common for angel investors and others to try to exert significant control and bend the entrepreneur's vision to match their own. Obviously that problem could grow exponentially when bringing in scores or even hundreds of crowdsourced investors—any number of whom might "have a few notes" to share.
In addition, non-accredited small investors who have little or no experience investing in start-ups, movies, plays and other risky ventures may be more likely than affluent angel investors or professional VCs to feel "burned" if a production flops—and may be more likely to sue for damages (real or perceived).
Bottom line: The investors become marketing evangelists—generating more buzz and awareness than the priciest marketing campaign could.
One caveat: To create a raving fan base, be prepared to stay in constant contact with investors through emails and updates. Nothing turns a crowdsourced mob angrier than if they feel they're being ignored—so keep feeding the beast with status reports, video updates and exclusives.
There's no question that equity crowdfunding is going to be a big deal for arts and entertainment entrepreneurs in the coming years. Getting up to speed now can help entrepreneurs prepare to tap into this potentially valuable resource if, and when, the time is right.


On 29 September 1915 at the Hohenzollern Redoubt, France, Second Lieutenant Fleming-Sandes was sent to command a company which was in a very critical position. His men, very much shaken by continual bombing and machine-gun fire, were beginning to retire, but the second lieutenant collected a few bombs and jumping on the parapet in full view of the Germans, only 20 yards (18 m) away, threw them. Although severely wounded almost at once, he continued to advance and throw bombs until he was again wounded. This act put new heart into his men and saved the situation.
Unable to find in the records before 1921, so probably joined in the years after then.

The Golden Flush Award /Click Image for Past Winners
Usually this is an after thought…" Oh, wow, year's over, let's get a person of the year"… And then once we elect one, we go… "holy crap… we totally forgot so and so…."
So to try to stir up some old simmering coals of memory, both mine and others, and perhaps even to (heaven forbid) get some debate going in the blog sphere, I thought I'd make an initial run on Thanksgiving Week, and then add people into the nominating category as others mention various ones I should kick myself for forgetting.
It will also force me to review the year which is something I rarely do… because face it, as a human being, I am slave of the moment…. If I did this last year, come December 14th the entire world would have been turned upside down and all the old priorities of 2012, would in one day become trivial….
And so starting early gives me the chance to make the argument for each of those I decide to enroll with your kind recommendations included….
Julius Cephus: Particularly this one man organized and stopped an end run around the Port of Wilmington. The Kinder Morgan deal did not go through, and the Wilmington Port is bustling like never before… Kinder Morgan was to strip the union of power, and drop the rates of pay, further dampening the economy of Wilmington proper. It was also the first defeat of a Lavine-Markell development project, .. Fisker and Bloom had gone forward without a hitch. Julius and other's push back resulted in a General Assembly motion that stated they, not the governor, had final approval. It was the first time we were exposed to the current Governor's manipulations. They were to play a significant part across this year's tapestry.
Steve Newton: A blogger who has written infrequently, but effectively. His piece on SB 51 is what alerted us to the end run being performed by Dave Sokola on lowering the current standards being used for educating teachers. It is brilliant. It took an evening of reading the legislation line by line and cross referencing it with Steve's analysis, to understand the huge negative impact this bill would cause. By the time this was done, the Bill had already passed the Senate unanimously without comment, and with an friendly amendment added that was voted upon without even being read. Some public outcry was mustered within the House, both in committee and on the floor, but under the Governor's direction, the Speaker of the House, pushed the bill to the floor before significant outcry could be mustered. Only 4 House members were not on record for it's passing. Our educational schools now have to water down their teaching standards to meet the new law. Steve also has brought the Highmark story to Delaware. His research in the increase of medical costs in Western PA as a result of knocking out competition by unfair practices, leads one with a cold chill of what to expect in Delaware's future. We are already there. As an insurer, Highmark is only paying medical claims in its own affiliated clinics. As the new Blue Cross/Blue Shield owner, that is a huge percentage of Delaware's residents. None can go to any other hospital. He has properly fingered Karen Weldham Stuart for not catching this prior to implementation. Without Steve, this would have passed unnoticed. The News Journal still has not once mentioned the takeover of Delaware's health field under one owner.
Ernest Lopez. If Kennedy were still writing Profiles of Courage, he should include this man. Ernest Lopez is a conservative, and voted with Libertarian values to pass the gun legislation recommended by Markell and Biden. Reflecting the views of his district, instead of taking the threatening message sent to him down from the NRA, he voted for his district. A very vocal minority, who is always vocal, and always in the minority, swore they would unseat him. He disregarded their idle threat, and voted both his and his constituents conscious. A major billboard was put up to call him out. His vote caused the passage of us now requiring background checks at public gun sales. Now a certifiably insane person cannot slap cash and get a gun. It is a no-brainer, and Ernie was the only Republican with brain enough to even know what a no-brainer is….
Cathy Cloutier: her vote allowed gays to marry. Again, she is a Republican who said enough is enough… Tired of voting against her conscious just so Sussex County would not flip over to the Democrats, she finally did not toe the line and voted along the lines of her own constituents, all overwhelmingly in favor of gay marriage. In doing so, she went against the entire grain of her party, who firmly feel that gays are second class citizens, even though most Republicans in office are closeted gays.
Bethany Hall Long: on the same vote, made a viable personal decision, and also voted for the legalization of gay marriage. Unlike Cathy's vote, this was accomplished at great personal sacrifice, for all of those in her personal life, were solidly against this policy from taking effect. In voting for what was morally right, she had to contend against those whose influence she could not escape. She went with the correct vote, over the easy one. As a result, Gay marriage is now legal in Delaware.
Paul Baumbach: gave great ammunition against the fight for SB51, and later against HB 165. Both bills which will damage Delaware's education for years to come. He was one of the four who put up a fight on the House floor. Paul also arranged for the meetings in Newark to discuss the new Power plant that figured in this past week's election.
John Kowalko: also was against SB51, HB 165, as well, being against the power plant. In fact, John was the first person to sound the alarm over how big the power plant would be. Without his big voice, it may have slid through unnoticed. The power plant has defined northern Delaware politics since September.
Kim Williams; responsible for HB 40 which investigates Charter School's meddling into our educational systems. She was as an acting state representative, allegedly refused entrance into a committee hearing on education, for fear she might say something damaging to the bill being rushed through…. She brought to the public's knowledge, that the Charter School bill was drafted illegally without public input, and the charter group constructing it, was also under FOIA, to which the private group denied. The Attorney General backed up her assertion, that the bill was formulated illegally but their decision was moot, because the bill was passed both houses anyways. Kim Williams also in the HB 40 task force, led the group to realize that charter schools unlike public schools, do indeed filter those entering charters to weed out those who might lower their test scores….
Mark Murphy, Rodel, Sweeney, Hefferman, and the Fake Educational Reform Establishment: I almost purposefully did not post this. Although the first person's name is usually followed by explicatives whenever mentioned, it is unlike Voldermort's, still getting mentioned. Mark Murphy was not put in his position based on his ability. He was placed there for his loyalty to the cause of corporatizing public education. Markell pulls the strings, Murphy figures how to get it done… It is hard to make a puppet the most influential person of the year… So I was going to skip him… But at the last minute, remembered that every time he or anyone of these make an op-ed, it resonates as gigantic news. The entire community rises up to counteract each op-ed, usually with the word "lies" thrown liberally about…. So, they do exert an influence. I looped all of them together, as the group of liars in a Greek play, who stand on the stair steps and taunt the protagonists. Well,… they are part of the play…….
Dan Short: Sometimes villains get noticed too. Primarily a single issue candidate, who personally supports the NRA, he actively campaigned and organized to create enough backlash so Markell's gun laws could not get enough votes… Without him, there is a possibility that all four of Markell's gun control pieces of legislation would have passed both houses of Delaware's legislature. Dan Short should be given the credit for stopping them.
John Sigler: Single handedly by his very brief tenure as the re-elected head of the Republican Party, he pointed out through his pigeon shooting, just how inept the Republican Party was at everything else. With his leaving, all fissures cracking the Republican bedrock, were impossible to ignore. Blogs split. The IPOD's split. Former candidates of the same party just months earlier, now not talking to each other. The Delaware Republican Party is dead; no it is past dead. More dead than a pigeon shot inside a box by John Sigler, former head of the Delaware Republican Party.
Nancy Willing: Her blog, the Delaware Way, is the go-to site for local information. Whether about Dover, about New Castle County, about any of New Castle County's associations, Nancy combs all sources and puts them down in aggregate form. Heavily involved in the Power Plant controversy, The Delaware City Rail Yard controversy, Barley Mill controversy, the Woodlawan controversy, the Kinder Morgan controversy, the Charter School Controversy, the Common Core Controversy, Nancy has who is saying "what", and links to "why". One can expend less energy by using her blog to follow all the stuff the News Journal neglects, in a few quick empty steps.
Amy Roe: a head of the Sierra Club, who emerged from nowhere to lead the fight against the power plant, and give quite a run against the establishment candidate. Becoming the face the anti- power movement could coalase behind, she gave the anti power plant movement both dignity and grace. Coming up short only 115 votes, she has awakened Newark now politically as never before… The power plant if it goes forward, now has a strong group of Newarkeans against it. Hopefully they will be monitoring it regularly and helping authorities keep in in compliance with all local law.
Tom Gorden; although much quieter than his first term in office, Tom Gorden is rapidly rolling back the privileges the previous Clark administration handed over to our state's top developers. The Barley Mill plaza which had a green light, is now parked at a red. In a big sea change, though handled quietly, community groups are now no longer persona non grata in county government. It is no longer accepted as a matter of course that the Woodlawn Trust will be gobbled up by developers. If enough fight can be mustered, it can be stopped. Furthermore, with Tom there is closer coordination with the City of Wilmington, than we have experienced anytime in our lifetimes. In the county, local policing has been stepped up, particularly in neighborhoods prone to crime…
Dennis Williams: Came in with grand expectations, which looked deliverable for a while. The tide is turning and his relevance on this list, is because every day, the headline reality in Wilmington's streets, brings his electioneering boasts back to haunt him, like a sizzling hot branding iron. Time, Dennis, to say "Damn the torpedoes… Their punk asses are going in jail no matter which blowhard on City Council spouts off,before mine gets tossed in jail for impersonating a mayor.."
Alan Levin: Jack Markell's second in command, he was instrumental in defending Markell's position on Kinder Morgan and the port, as well as the new power plant for the data center. He also had a hand in keeping Dole in Delaware, and worked to slip the power plant past a slew of unsuspecting Newark City officials.
Jack Markell: had his hand in everything. He was behind Kinder Morgan's takeover. He was behind SB 51 and HB 165. He was behind the illegal charter group, requiring HB 40. He also was the driving force for the four rational steps to gun legislation, 2 of which were passed. He was also the driving force behind the passage of gay marriage, signing the bill in the chambers just moments after its passage. He also supported the transgender bill in its travels through the labyrinth of Legislative Hall. He as behind keeping Dole in Delaware. He was behind changing an icon in Millsboro away from pickles, over to poultry. He pushed the bill to curtail Flowers. Despite your opinion over whether these were good or bad, they still showed a ubiquitous and wide reach across the state of Delaware. Seems like nothing got done that didn't have his fingerprints all over it.
John Young: As head of Christina board, John Young led the board in standing up to Mark Murphy and Jack Markell, by refusing the RTTT funds slated for his district. Although some hired fools, (Jea Street) tried to paint Young into a corner, it served the opposite purpose and gave Young a platform. For the fist time, Common Core was getting publicly bashed. For the first time, many were finding that aligning themselves blindly to this sham of improving standards, was probably going to hurt them politically in the next couple of years. It was the fist salvo back, so the damage estimates were not high, but it did open eyes of many who had been on the sidelines of all educational issues, making them also become vocal in fighting Common Core. His blog Transparent Christina has channelled a lot of detailed information into the Delaware market, and had made Common Core an apprehension, instead of the savior it was supposed to be….
Kilroy: Kilroy has always been haranguing over education. In fact he was doing such a good job I left that issue alone for years, because other issues for me, like the economy and elimination of guns from the hands of the mentally ill, were more important. But as the issue has shifted back into the limelight, Kilroy's hard hitting is making its mark… Kilroy is blunt, and right now, that is the language that needs to happen. Blunt descriptions of what takes place in the stratosphere of he academic field…. Kilroy often breaks stories before the News Journal, especially ones embarrassing to the Murphy/Markell cartel of education. If you have read Kilroy over the past couple of years, you would already know that Common Core is not the panacea we have been promised. It is a power grab for taxpayer dollars, financed by Wall Street itself…. If you think otherwise, you haven't been reading a balanced reading list….
That is what I have so far. In retrospect I am surprised that education has played so much, as even I have only come to that topic lately… But if one looks over the News Journal op eds, education really did dominate the discussion in the 2nd smallest state this year….
I may have forgotten some big ones. To reiterate, that is why I am posting this early, to catch those big mistakes as they get brought to my attention….
Is "Round-Up" Killing Our Planet?
November 24, 2013 in "My City Was Gone", "Stupid is, America's Food Supply, America's morals, an actual good Republican, as stupid does", Wall Street Journal, Want Some Tea, wish it wasn't, Women's Prerogative, Yellow River | Leave a comment
Round Up. that squirt-squirt chemical on TV that cleans up plants out of cracks in your sidewalk?
It was discovered to be a herbicide by Monsanto chemist John E. Franz in 1970. Monsanto brought it to market in the 1970s under the trade name "Roundup", and Monsanto's last commercially relevant United States patent expired in 2000.
Generically it is called glyphosate. Glyphosate was quickly adopted by farmers, even more so when Monsanto introduced glyphosate-resistant crops, enabling farmers to kill weeds without killing their crops. This was great for farmers. You kill all plant-life, then plant your crops. No weeds, ever.
Industry regulators in Europe, removed from the political pressures of Monsanto, have known for years that glyphosate causes birth defects in the embryos of laboratory animals….
As the problem became known, Republicans in Congress shut down the accumulation of all pesticide data as of 2008….
The last data shows that 185 million tons were commercially applied, plus 5 million tons residentially, plus 15 million tons by governmental agencies… American yearly total. 205 million tons.
Last data was 2007. This is 2013.
205 million tons 2007
1230 million tons gross since last tabulation…..
Two problems. The corn or soy you eat, is loaded with glyphosate. Republicans have halted on domestic tests on the effects of glyphosate on humans.
Secondly, it wipes out food sources for pollinators.
The numbers of wintering Mexican Monarch butterflies registered this year are under 2 million. Last season they were 60 million. California's count, which once boasted 120 thousand, are down to 2000….
Something is happening.
Some is due to habitat demise. Over 2 million acres of habitat are commercialized each year. But habitat demise has not grown 97% to account for this year's drop in Monarchs. Lack of Milkweed has. Monarchs can only live on milkweed. Milkweed only grows on the edge of farmers fields. It does not grow well in the shade of wooded forests.
Round-Up kills all plants other than that GMO Round-Up resistant strain planted. If there is no milkweed, there are no monarchs. The caterpillars never grow, the pupa never forms, the monarch never emerges, the census data drops, never to return.
Monsanto denies it has anything to do with the demise of the Monarch butterfly as a result of use of its chemical.
Force milkweed planting. Mandate every farm designate over 1% of their crop area to milkweed production in 2014…. As with a dying child, if medical attention is not applied immediately, the patient dies.
Government lands likewise should be sown with milkweed seed, and allowed to lie fallow.
Create National attention. When every school child becomes aware of the monarch's plight, so will their parents.
Limit the amounts of Round-Up sold and applied per acre.
Remove the ban on testing what effects might be caused by Round-Up on human beings from eating GMO crops. It could be worse than DDT and we wouldn't even know….
The New Republican Chair
June 2, 2013 in Charlie Copeland, Republican Golden Showers, Republican National Committee, Revolving Door, Yellow River | Leave a comment
Oh! Those Republicans And Their Empty Chairs!

John Sigler steps down and the race is on for the new Delaware Republican Chair. Most have dropped out but two: An officially declared candidate, and one unofficial one.
At stake is the future of Delaware's GOP.
Those two are Charlie Copeland and Jeff Cragg.. To most readers, this would be considered a battle between losers, sort of like a Sunday fall afternoon football game to determine which team will lose to get the first NFL draft pick in spring. But I would like to inform you, that is not true.
It is a battle between good and evil. At stake is the future of the Republican Party.
When one speaks of the future, one can look at one thing. Getting votes. For that is what the Republican Party is bad at. The other things, money, organization, fervor, dedicated partisans, blocs of ad time, connections to the "right" people, they have plenty of.
The thing they ardently lack, is people who will even want to vote for them.
The biggest deflection away from the Delaware GOP occurred between 2004 and 2008. During that time, one person, speaker of the Republican House, controlled the entire republican agenda. As you may have guessed, that is the present candidate Charlie Copeland.
The other candidate recently lost a statewide election to an incumbant governor. If anyone knows what it takes to get a good Republican candidate elected to a statewide office, it is him. He's been there. He's tried.
The odds are on that Copeland will probably take it for all the wrong reasons. One, he works on the principal that if you support Copeland he'll support you. With him as the future chairman, every Republican will be watching their backs to swivel in the last second. to dodge the stick of the knife. One must remember all the past double crosses attached to the Copeland name. There were many times when promises went unfulfilled.
Some who think back, may remember better times when Copeland was the principle mover of the Republican caucus. They envision him again returning their party to glory. They remember the press releases, the interviews, the photo ops; they look to no longer having their party appear the loser that it is. They forget how it got that way.
It got that way because the Republican Party fell in love with itself. Better to masturbate than go out and get votes it thought. They talked of how great they were, and ignored the problems real people were having. They talked of doubling down, being resolutely determined, and smashing down all who stood in their way, when it was real genuine hurting people, who found themselves standing where the Republican Party wanted to go. Take more money from the middle class, get rid of more unions which are only there to make sure people were treated fairly, cut more services needed by everyday people so the rich could get richer.
Instead of results, Copeland gave us blame. First blame the Democrats, then as the election results went sour, blame Bill Lee, blame Tim Ross, blame everyone but the real culprit.
Now let's look at Jeff Cragg. When no one wanted to run, Jeff said,… "If Republican Party goes into the "General" with a blank spot for governor, our party is finished. " When Copeland said, "Who me? Run for Governor? And lose to Markell? Are you effin crazy?" Jeff did just that,. for the good of the party; it is still intact. Whereas Copeland made a decision based on personal ambition, Jeff took the opposite tack. Jeff came to the aid of his party suffering a stunning defeat, because it needed him.
Copeland ran the party in better times. But that party was shattered, broken in part because all the personal connections built up over lifetimes, were split, shunned, double-crossed, and poked fun of, leaving very few pieces standing; so few pieces still upright they couldn't save Mike Castle…. Jeff put pieces together and ran.
The question before the Republican Party is this. Of the two who can get more people to vote Republican… A builder? Or a Tearer-Down?
Who makes the better preacher? The one who can convert more sinners into saints? Or which of these two has a better shot of success? A person responsible for the previous collapse, or a person experienced in building something out of nothing?..
We all have a gut and mine says the latter: the person who built something out of nothing. Not the rich son who squandered his Father's wealth.
All the money in the world won't help Delawarean Republicans one bit, if no one wants to cast their vote because of what your party stands for……
Republicans Love Urine
February 10, 2013 in Boycott ALEC Sponsors, crotch shots, Pants On Fire, political humor, Republican Golden Showers, Republican intimidation, Republicans = Bad Guys, Republicans Are Economy Crashers, Stimulus Package, stock market crash, Stupid, Support Mind Altering Drugs For Republicans, Supreme Court, Unemployment, Wine, Yellow River | 1 comment
We're going somewhere with this.
Republicans legislators in Ohio, Virginia, and Florida have put forth bills to take urine from welfare recipients to test for drugs.
Seriously. Some well known Republicans brag among themselves that they even want to hold the cup….
Ohio had this bill squashed last spring by their Governor. It is back again in the form of a three county trial.
Virginia, tried passing it last year but it was shelved because it would cost the state $1.2 million to implement while saving $ 229,000….
Florida did pass it and too, found out that so few tested positive, that the cost of the testing far outweighed any savings. Plus, they are still being assessed for legal fees from the action being declared unconstitutional.…
One would think Republicans would remember what doesn't work. But no.. Now Kansas and Ohio and Virginia have new legislation to redo the same problem….
I'm just curious,…. with only paltry savings on the indigent, why wasn't this procedure proscribed when we lent big banks an open line of credit to put themselves back on their feet?
Did we make AIG pee in a cup? Did we make Bank of America pee in a cup? Did we make Citibank pee in a cup? And why not?
I wonder how much cocaine those $4o million in bonuses bought? Poor people don't do coke. They don't have that kind of money.
Just imagine if testing positive could have save us $440 billion?
Since Democrats don't legislate pee, it can only mean Republican do other things like fantasize with pee when they are behind closed doors. For if you didn't love pee so much…. ugh, why would you even bring it up?

The idea for the Lee relief was inspired by the famous Mathew Brady photograph taken of Lee three days after his surrender to General Grant at Appomattox. The photo was taken as Lee stood on the front porch of the home he and his wife were staying at in Richmond, Virginia.
This relief of General Robert E. Lee was sculpted in clay, and a mold was then made from it. The relief sculpture then cast in three mediums - cold cast Bronze, bonded Pecan wood and bonded White Marble.
"After four years of arduous service marked by courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources.
I need not tell the brave survivors of so many hard fought battles who have remained steadfast to the last that I have consented to this result from no distrust of them; but feeling that valour and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that must have attended the continuance of the contest, I determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen.
Each relief is mounted on solid Walnut which can be mounted on the wall or stood in a tripod as in the photograph.
The piece is 7 1/2 inches wide X 10 inches tall and has a brass nameplate which reads Gen. Robert E. Lee.

HomeAs it was!Wrexham had a Tank and a problem
Wrexham had a Tank and a problem
The tank was replaced in the Parciau by the statue of Queen Victoria
THE main news story in the early 1920s was the arrival of a military tank in the town. It had been presented by the government in recognition of the £6m invested by the town and district in War Bonds. It arrived by rail and was driven under its own power to High Street, where a procession was formed.
Headed by the Rhosddu and Gresford Silver Band, and the Mayor and civic officials, the tank made its way to the Parciau where the war relic was handed over to Sir Leonard Rowland, chairman of the War Savings Committee. According to a report, the tank "made very small work of any gutters or obstacles it encountered on its way".
After a few years, however, it became an eyesore and a danger to children and it was decided to scrap it. Mr Arthur Cudworth, whose firm undertook the job, tells me that this was in the late `twenties`: And", he adds, "there May be still bits of the old tank lying around somewhere".
The tank was replaced in the Parciau by the statue of Queen Victoria which, since the early part of the century, had stood outside the old Guildhall.
The statue was presented to the town by Mr. Henry Price, sculptor. It was erected by public subscription and unveiled by the Mayoress Birkett-Evans on the 1st May 1905

Industrial mergers and acquisitions are occurring at higher rates than ever.
According to Bloomberg, the fourth quarter of 2015 closed the year as the most active period in history. The total announced M&A transaction volume exceeded $1 trillion for the first time since 2007.
Activity has spanned a multitude of industries, but M&A transactions in the manufacturing, high-tech/semiconductor and 3PL sectors are especially important to U.S. industrial supply chain dynamics.
M&A's provide alternatives for revenue generation to companies unable to increase sales, and opportunities for mature corporations struggling to attain additional organic growth. Furthermore, M&A's offer benefits such as increased R&D capabilities and access to additional distribution channels. Yet one of the most overlooked financial opportunities lies in the participant's real estate assets.
Include real estate in the deal term: Evaluate real estate early. Pre-offer and pre-close, stakeholders on the buy side can identify synergies, redundancy risks and most importantly, opportunities in the real estate portfolio.
Identify and quickly act on portfolio opportunities: Efficient integration of real estate opportunities identified early in the process can result in significant cost savings.
Analyzing a combined real estate footprint early in the process provides the implementation team with actionable items to consider after close. Tactics may include maximizing value by the elimination or combination of redundant real estate and improving performance at inefficient or underutilized facilities.
Real estate and supply chains, when considered strategically and early in the process, can create competitive advantages to unlock additional value in M&A activity. To learn more about how to increase M&A revenue and growth potential through optimizing portfolios and supply chains, click here.

Модели заселения Америки или Модели миграции в Новый Свет — несколько моделей миграции древнего человека в Америку, предложенных в разное время антропологическим сообществом.

Вопрос о том, когда человек впервые появился в этой части мира, представляет значительный интерес для антропологов. По мере накопления новых фактов, прошлые гипотезы часто пересматриваются, строятся новые теории, но окончательно вопрос всё ещё остается открытым.

Общепринятые данные

Америка стала последней частью света (за исключением Антарктиды), которая была заселена людьми. Однако хронология расселения людей в Америке остаётся достаточно дискуссионной. На протяжении долгого времени считалось, что первые люди в Америке были связаны с культурой Кловис, которая существовала в Северной и Центральной Америке в промежутке между 13,5 и 13 тысячи лет назад. Однако по мере накопления археологического материала в течение XX века стало ясно, что люди, скорее всего, пришли в Америку раньше.

Согласно новейшим генетическим исследованиям, все индейские народы Америки произошли от группы палеолитических охотников восточно-азиатского происхождения из Южной Сибири, переселившейся в Америку (на Аляску), по Берингии, существовавшей на месте нынешнего Берингова пролива, Чукотского и Берингова морей, одной волной из Сибири не ранее 23 тыс. лет назад, в разгар последнего ледникового максимума.

Радиоуглеродные даты, полученные при изучении образцов костей, выявленных в ходе комплексного тафономического анализа фауны пещер Блуфиш на Юконе, дали калиброванную дату до 24 тыс. лет до настоящего времени (19 650 ± 130 радиоуглеродных лет до настоящего времени). По-видимому, затем потомки этих первых мигрантов несколько тысяч лет оставались на Аляске, из-за ледникового щита, преграждавшего путь на юг. После отступления ледников на Аляске, они довольно быстро, 15 тыс. лет назад заселили остальную территорию Северной и Южной Америки.

Артефакты с позднепалеолитической стоянки Куперс-Ферри (Cooper's Ferry) на реке Салмон (бассейн Колумбии) в штате Айдахо (фрагменты костей млекопитающих, остатки сожженного угля, каменные наконечники копий) датируются периодом от 16,56 до 15,28 тыс. лет назад. Каменные орудия из Куперс-Ферри имеют сходство с орудиями типа ташикава (Tachikawa-type) на позднеплейстоценовой стоянке Ками-Сиратаки 2 (Kamishirataki 2) на острове Хоккайдо (Япония). Это свидетельствует о том, что люди первоначально мигрировали в Америку вдоль тихоокеанского побережья между 16—15 тыс. лет назад, но не исключает последующих миграций человека в более позднее время через свободный ото льда коридор Маккензи от Аляски до нынешней Дакоты, который открылся между  и Лаврентийским континентальными ледниковыми щитами около 13,8±0,5 тыс. л. н. Наземная биота в коридоре Маккензи начала развиваться лишь около 12,5 тыс. лет назад.

Каменные орудия и кости мастодонта, найденные под водой на глубине 9 метров в непотревоженном геологическом контексте в местечке  (Флорида), датируются возрастом 14 550 лет назад.

Возраст ланцетовидных наконечников копий, найденных в Блоке A (Block A) на месте стоянки Дебры Л. Фридкин (Debra L. Friedkin site) в Баттермилк Крик (Техас) датируется периодом от 13,5 до 15,5 тыс. лет назад.

Остатки очага на острове Трикет-Айленд у западного побережья Канады датируются возрастом 13 613 и 14 086 лет назад. Предполагается, что данный участок не был покрыт льдом во время последнего оледенения.

Наконечники культуры Ненана с местонахождения  в Волкер Роад (Аляска) возрастом 13 тыс. лет назад, схожи с бифасиальными метательными наконечниками со стоянок Ушки на Камчатке и Большой Эльгакхан в Магаданской области. Источник обсидиана для орудий с местонахождений Волкер Роад, , ,  находится в горах Натзотин (Nutzotin Mountains) (Национальный парк Рангел-Сент-Элайас).

Около 13 тыс. л. н. произошло разделение коренного американского населения на северную и южную популяции — последняя расселилась в Центральной, Южной и частично в Северной Америке, северная ветвь ведёт к современным атабаскам и индейцам, широко распределённым по всей Северной Америке.

На стоянке Вишбон (Wishbone) в районе Большого Бассейна (Юта) в очаге возрастом 12 480 — 12 060 л. н. археологи нашли четыре обугленных семени табака.

Около 5000 лет назад арктические побережья Америки заселили палеоэскимосы, чьи гены частично сохранились у современных алеутов, эскимосов и народов на-дене. На побережье Гренландии и Баффиновой земли найдены ископаемые останки представителей культуры Саккак, генетически родственных алеутам, нганасанам и корякам. Эта культура первобытных охотников на северных оленей и тюленей существовала в период от 4,5—4 до 2,8 тыс. л. н. и полностью вымерла, не оставив генетических потомков.

Позже, уже в историческое время, 1 тыс. лет назад произошёл приход предков инуитов и эскимосов, распространившихся по всей Арктике и, вероятно, во многом вытеснивших остатки предыдущей волны палеоэскимосов. Пути их попадания из Сибири на Аляску точно неизвестны, так как никакого перехода между ними тогда уже не было, но исследования показали, что неолитическое население Сибири и Америки в те времена уже хорошо владело методами изготовления лодок для охоты на морского зверя, либо могло пересечь Берингов пролив зимой по льду.

Модели миграции

Согласно новейшим датировкам и молекулярно-генетическим исследованиям (2017 год), первые люди появились на Аляске, скорее всего, между 24 и 18 тыс. лет назад. По данным учёных, в период с 30 до 17 тыс. лет назад тихоокеанское побережье Аляски и территории Канады были покрыты ледниковым щитом, но затем ледник отступил и первые люди смогли пройти на юг вдоль побережья. Расселение из Берингии на юг началось не ранее, чем 16,6 тыс. лет назад, причем размер популяции, от которой произошло всё население обеих Америк к югу от ледника, не превышал 5000 человек. Генетический анализ показал, что все американские индейцы происходят из одной и той же популяции палеолитического населения Южной Сибири. Результаты исследований, проведённых Рутгерским университетом, ранее теоретически показали, что всё коренное население Америки произошло всего лишь от 70 индивидуумов, прибывших 14—12 тыс. л. н.. По другим оценкам (2018 год), фактический размер популяции коренных американцев был ок. 250 человек, но не более 4000 человек.

Одним из факторов, поддерживающим жаркие дебаты, является прерывистость археологических свидетельств ранних периодов существования человека, как в Северной, так и в Южной Америке. Северо-американские находки в целом отражают классический комплекс культурных свидетельств, известный как культура Кловис, который удается проследить как минимум на 13500 лет назад, эти свидетельства найдены практически на всей территории Северной и Центральной Америки.

Южноамериканские культурные находки, с другой стороны, не имеют той же последовательности и представляют собой разнообразные культурные образцы. Однако, находки в Висконсине и юге Чили (Монте-Верде) свидетельствуют, что 14,6 тыс. лет назад обе Америки уже были заселены, население было очень мобильным.

Исследование Y-хромосомной гаплогруппы Q предполагает, что заселение Южной Америки началось до 18 тыс. лет назад.

Палеогенетика

Палеогенетики, исследовавшие геном девочки с местонахождения , жившей в долине Танана (Центральная Аляска) ок. 11,5 тыс. лет назад, пришли к тому же выводу, что предки всех американских индейцев одной волной переселились с Чукотки на Аляску в позднем плейстоцене ок. 20—25 тыс. лет назад, до того как Берингия исчезла ок. 11 тыс. лет назад. До 17 тыс. лет назад «древние берингийцы» были на Аляске изолированы ледниками от остальной территории Америки. Около 13 тыс. лет назад произошло их разделение на северную и южную группы палеоиндейцев, из которых сформировались народы, заселившие Северную и Южную Америки.

Из образцов копролитов людей докловисской культуры из пещер Пэйсли в штате Орегон возрастом 12 тыс. лет назад удалось секвенировать ДНК и определить митохондриальные гаплогруппы A2 и B2.

Некоторые учёные связывали заселение американского континента с несколькими миграционными волнами, принесшими в Новый Свет Y-хромосомные гаплогруппы Q и C. Но согласно недавним масштабным генетическим исследованиям, носители всех митохондриальных гаплогрупп A—D и X, распространённых у современных американских индейцев, попали в Северную Америку, на Аляску, через Берингию одной волной между 23 и 19 тыс. лет назад. Т. Шурр и С. Шерри считают, что миграция носителей митохондриальных гаплогрупп A, B, C и D с Аляски предшествовала Кловису и произошла 15—17 тыс. л. н. по коридору вдоль тихоокеанского побережья. Вторая миграция с Аляски, связанная с предполагаемыми носителями гаплогруппы Х из культуры Кловис, имела место после образования коридора Маккензи 14—13 тыс. лет назад. Обе миграции произошли от потомков одной и той же предковой группы населения Южной Сибири, попавших на Аляску не позднее 19 тыс. лет назад.

В период с 16 по 13 тыс. лет назад произошло резкое повышение численности населения Америки, согласно генетическим исследованиям, эффективная численность населения возросла в 60 раз.

Исследование ДНК 92 образцов из древних могильников тихоокеанского побережья и горных районов Перу, Боливии и Северного Чили, а также из Аргентины и Мексики возрастом от 500 до 8600 лет показало наличие митохондриальных гаплогрупп A2, B2, D1, C1b, C1c, C1d, характерных и для современных индейцев. Не была выявлена у этих древних южноамериканцев митохондриальная гаплогруппа D4h3a, встречающаяся у современных индейцев тихоокеанского побережья Южной и Северной Америки и выявленная у представителя культуры Кловис («Анзик-1»), возрастом 12,6 тыс. лет назад. В Северной Америке митохондриальная гаплогруппа D4h3a обнаружена в древнем могильнике (9730—9880 л. н.) в пещере  на острове Остров Принца Уэльского (Архипелаг Александра в штате Аляска). У жившего 9300 лет назад кенневикского человека, найденного в штате Вашингтон, выявлена Y-хромосомная группа Q1a3a (M3) и митохондриальная гаплогрупа X2a.

У 10700-летней  из Невады и у образцов из бразильского Caverna do Sumidouro (Лагоа-Санта) возрастом более 10 тыс. л. н. определили Y-хромосомную гаплогруппу Q1b1a1a1-M848.

У образцов из бразильского местонахождения Lapa do Santo возрастом ок. 9,5 тыс. л. н. определены Y-хромосомные гаплогруппы C2b, Q1a2a1a, Q1a2a1a1, Q1a2a1b и митохондриальные гаплогруппы D4h3a, A2, B2 и C1d1.

У образца Trail Creek Cave 2 (9000 л. н.) из пещеры Трейл-Крик 2  на Аляске, жившего определили базальную линию митохондриальной гаплогруппы B2, отличающуюся от производной линии B2, обычно встречающейся в Америке. Геном образца Trail Creek Cave 2 вместе с геномом образца USR1 относится к популяции древних берингийцев.

Генетики, анализировавшие 91 геном древних индейцев, живших на территории современной Калифорнии и на юго-западе Онтарио, пришли к выводу, что ранее чем 13 тыс. лет назад, переселенцы из Азии разделились — одна часть древних индейцев отправилась на восток и оказалась родственна кенневикскому человеку и современным алгонкинам, другая часть древних индейцев отправилась на юг и оказалась родственна мальчику Анзик-1 (представитель культуры Кловис). Позже обе популяции воссоединились, так как современные жители Центральной и Южной Америки оказались генетически похожи и на «восточную», и на «южную» части древних индейцев. Смешение популяций могло произойти неоднократно как в Северной Америке, так и в Южной Америке. Близким к ним генетически оказалось палеолитическое население стоянки Мальта́ в Прибайкалье.

Спорные датировки
При археологических раскопках в местонахождении Santa Elina (штат Мату-Гросу, Бразилия) обнаружены остатки костей гигантского ленивца рода Glossotherium, осколки известняка и кварца со следами предполагаемой обработки человеком, датированные радиоуглеродным методом около 23 тыс. лет назад. Исследователи не могут объяснить, откуда там появились люди 23 тыс. лет назад. Предполагают, что они могли приплыть из Африки, через Атлантический океан. Впрочем, искусственное происхождение этих находок подвергается сомнению, так как следов разделки животных, древесного угля не найдено.

Следующий археологический слой в этом местонахождении, с более очевидными свидетельствами пребывания человека, в виде древесного угля и остатков костей гигантского ленивца, относится к периоду 10 - 13 тыс. лет назад.

Также в Бразилии, в местонахождении Vale da Pedra Furada (Серра-да-Капивара, штат Пиауи)  обнаружены каменные артефакты (куски кварца со следами, похожими на грубую обработку человеком), также датированные радиоуглеродным методом и методом оптического датирования возрастом 20 - 25 тыс. лет назад. Бразильские исследователи считают их достоверным подтверждением первого присутствия человека на Южно-Американском континенте ранее общепринятой теории «сухопутного моста через Берингию». Многие учёные оспаривают искусственное происхождение артефактов, ожидая более надёжных подтверждений. В 2016 году было даже установлено, что обезьяны (чернополосые капуцины), обитающие там же, в Серра-да-Капивара, могут случайно изготавливать кварцевые отщепы, очень похожие на примитивные каменные рубила древних людей. Капуцины раскалывают орехи специально подобранными камнями, многократно оббивая камни друг о друга, при этом случайным образом получаются осколки кварца с острыми гранями, почти не отличимые от ранних каменных орудий труда олдувайской культуры.

На территории Южной Калифорнии в США, в местонахождении Cerutti Mastodon найдены кости мастодонта со следами дробления, вместе с булыжниками, похожими на примитивные орудия труда ранних людей, которыми эти кости предположительно дробили. Кости датированы  возрастом 130 000 лет назад.

Есть еще более спорные датировки отпечатков, похожих на следы человеческих ног, найденных на вулканическом пепле при раскопках в Мексике. Их возраст датируется палеомагнитным методом около 1,3 млн. лет назад, то есть когда человека разумного еще не существовало.

В 2020 году была выдвинута гипотеза, что люди заселяли Америку несколько раз: первые люди появились там около 30 тысяч лет назад, затем во время последнего ледникового максимума в Америку добрались люди, генетически связанные с жителями палеолитической стоянки Мальта в Сибири, а третья волна переселенцев относится уже к первому гренландскому межледниковью (около 14,9–16,7 тысячи лет назад). В 2021 году были опубликованы результаты исследований ископаемых водорослей, найденных в раскопанных отпечатках человеческих ног в национальном парке Уайт-Сандс в Нью-Мексико. Радиоуглеродное датирование водорослей показало, что следы людей, возможно, были оставлены около 21–23 тысяч лет назад, что делает их свидетельством нахождения человека в Америке во время последнего ледникового максимума, за 2 тысячи лет до отступления ледникового щита на Аляске. В пещере в центральной Мексике в 2020 году были найдены каменные орудия первобытных людей и остатки древесного угля, датированные возрастом от 18 до 26 тыс. лет назад.  При этом далеко не все специалисты принимают эту гипотезу, так как достоверных следов такого раннего пребывания человека в Америке очень мало.

Бесспорным доказательством могли бы стать датировки ископаемых остатков древних людей в Америке, но возраст ископаемых костей древнейших палеоамериканцев, на 2020 год найденных учёными на территории Юкатана (Мексика) и Монтаны (США), определённый радиоуглеродным методом, не превышает 13 000 лет назад.

Теория сухопутного моста

Обзор теории

«Классическая» теория сухопутного моста, также известная как «теория Берингова пролива» или «теория короткой хронологии», является общепринятой начиная с 1930-х годов. Эта модель миграции на территорию западной части Северной Америки предполагает, что группа людей — палеоиндейцы — перешла из Сибири на Аляску, вслед за мигрирующими стадами животных. Они могли пересечь пролив, который сейчас разделяет два континента, по сухопутному мосту, известному как Берингов перешеек, который находился на месте современного Берингова пролива в течение последнего ледникового максимума, последней стадии плейстоцена.

Классическая версия говорила о двух или трёх волнах миграции через Берингов пролив. Потомки первой волны стали современными индейцами, второй (предположительно) — народы на-дене, третьей и позднейшей — эскимосы и алеуты. По другой гипотезе, предкам современных индейцев предшествовали палеоиндейцы, родственные не монголоидной, а южно-тихоокеанским расам. В этой гипотезе датировка первой волны определяется около 15 тыс. лет назад, а второй — 10 тыс. лет назад.

Новейшими методами датировки и генетического анализа (2017 год) было показано, что теория нескольких волн миграции из Азии не подтвердилась. Первые люди появились на Аляске между 22 и 19 тыс. лет назад. Расселение из Берингии на юг началось не ранее чем 16,6 тыс. лет назад, а все индейские народы происходят от одной и той же популяции "первопроходцев" из населения Южной Сибири. Потомки этой группы первых переселенцев около 13 000 лет назад разделились на предков атабасков и предков всех остальных индейских народов. В дальнейшем эти линии неоднократно перемешивались.

Культурный комплекс Кловис

Культура охотников на крупную добычу, известная как культура Кловис, прежде всего известна наконечниками метательных дротиков, высеченными из камня. Культура получила своё название от названия городка Кловис в штате Нью-Мексико, где в 1932 году были найдены первые образцы инструментов этого культурного комплекса. Культура Кловис была распространена на большей части Северной Америки, а отдельные образцы её орудий найдены в Центральной Америке. Культура легко выделяется характерной формой «наконечников Кловис», зубчатых наконечников дротиков, высеченных из кремня, которые вставлялись в деревянный черенок.

Датировка материалов культуры Кловис была проведена с помощью анализа костей животных с использованием методов углеродного датирования. Тогда первые результаты давали возраст периода расцвета в 11500 — 11000 лет назад. Позднее датировки были уточнены, как 13,2 - 12,8 тыс. лет назад. Не исключено, что Кловис были второй волной переселенцев с Аляски, мигрировавших по восточному коридору между Кордильерским и Лаврентийским ледниковыми щитами. Артефакты с археологического участка Эль-Фин-дель-Мундо в штате Сонора, наряду с артефактами с участка Обри в округе Дентон в штате Техас (США), являются древнейшими свидетельствами существования культуры Кловис.

В 2013 году международная группа ученых прочитала геном единственного известного представителя культуры Кловис — двухлетнего мальчика Анзик-1 (:en:Anzick-1), жившего 12,5 тысяч лет назад на территории нынешнего штата Монтана. Его Y-хромосома относится к гаплогруппе Q-L54*(xM3), а митохондриальная — к гаплогруппе D4h3a. Качество ДНК позволило прочитать геном 14 раз, что гарантирует низкий уровень ошибок. Сравнение полученных последовательностей с известными геногеографическими данными показывает, что представители культуры Кловис были генетически близки современным индейцам Северной и Южной Америки и соответственно, являются родственниками азиатов Сибири, происходят от той же первой популяции людей на Аляске из Южной Сибири.

В 2014 году группой учёных под руководством палеонтолога Джеймса Чаттерса были опубликованы результаты исследования скелета 15-летней девочки, жившей предположительно 12910—11750 лет назад и обнаруженной в затопленной пещере Ойо-Негро на полуострове Юкатан. У неё определена типичная для индейцев митохондриальная гаплогруппа D1. Согласно полученным данным, представители культуры Кловис и индейцы относятся к одной и той же гаплогруппе D, к которой принадлежат и некоторые современные народы Чукотки и Сибири.

Доисторическое искусство
В настоящее время старейшим памятником доисторического искусства древнего населения Америки является изображение мамонта, вырезанное на мамонтовой кости, найденное в Флориде (Виро-Бич) в 2006 или 2007 годах и датируемое радиоуглеродным методом возрастом около 13 тыс. лет назад. Бразильские учёные заявляют, что возраст петроглифов Серра-да-Капивара составляет от 32 до 48 тыс. лет, но эти датировки спорны.

Diplo caught up with Billboard's Tetris Kelly on the red carpet at the 2019 American Music Awards on Sunday, chatting about new collaborations, his most memorable Billboard moment, and what advice he would give to a new musical artist.
Asked if he has any exciting new collaborations in the works, Diplo tells Billboard that he has "a bunch" of country stuff coming out, including a "big record" with Thomas Rhett. He also teases another collaboration with a "big secret artist" he can't talk about yet.
Pushed to give a hint, he replies, "They're not that country, but it's a big country record."

Diplo is also asked what his most memorable Billboard moment has been so far, and he names the time when he landed his first magazine cover. "They profiled me when I was working with M.I.A. and doing the Major Lazer projects," he says.
As for what advice he would give to his younger self, Diplo replies with a laugh, "I kinda did my thing pretty well."
When it comes to giving advice to younger artists, he emphasizes the importance of being creative and surrounding yourself with a team of people you love, you trust, and that works well together.

"The music industry, everybody's trying to put each other down," he adds. "If someone knows something, they keep it to themselves, but I feel like if y'all work together, we're all gonna grow. As far as songwriters, as far as publishers, producers, we all deserve better, so I feel like if we work together as a team, it's better."

To simply get the job done, meet your new yardstick; the work-focused Rotax HD8 V-Twin. It delivers 50 hp and 50lb-ft torque for tough tasks. The Traxter is now the sharpest tool in the shed.
It starts at the structure: Traxter is an extremely capable off-road vehicle and a legitimate workhorse because of its automotive-like technology and fabrication tolerances that are in line with modern pickup trucks. The high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) grade steel means a more rigid design made to handle the strain of heavy-duty jobs. Can-Am engineers put the Traxter frame through the new rigorous Utility Test Cycle on winter and summer testing grounds to ensure its toughness—and it shows.
The Visco-Lok† front differential combined with the lockable rear differential* offer a 4-mode traction system providing multiple choices for varying terrain or tasks. Users, via a separate front-and-rear toggle switches, can select between a 2×4 open rear differential for tight turning and turf protection, a 2×4 lockable rear for improved 2WD traction, a 4×4 open rear for more manoeuverability in rugged terrain and a 4×4 locked rear for maximum traction. The rear differential is gear-on-gear to the transmission for better response, no maintenance, better efficiency and fewer components.
The Traxter heavy-duty Torsional Trailing A-arms (TTA) was designed specifically for a utility and recreational usage, offers a full 10-in. (25.4 cm) of travel to provide a smooth ride whatever the terrain. Its architecture offers an optimal comfort and drivability in all conditions thanks to no camber.
The open dash design features a handy removable and water-resistant 6.3 L toolbox, an industry exclusive, to allow users to carefully carry tools and supplies their need in an organised manner. In addition, it includes 23 L of under dash storage with an enclosed pocket, perfect for stowing small essentials. All in all, the Traxter proposes a total of 39.5 L of storage solutions.
The highly durable Cargo box can go up to 454kg load capacity and easily dumps. Strategic features include 5-gal 18.9 L pail recesses, integrated anchors on the sidewalls and several tie-down points for added convenience. To fully optimise the sizeable cargo box, consumers can divide up the box using the integrated recesses. The box allows for both 1×3 and plywood separators and accepts bed extenders for refining the bed's overall dimensions. Also, the sturdy tailgate can withstand ordinary farm use and serve as a seat during your lunch break (max weight: 113kg).
