«Се́лтік» () — професіональний шотландський футбольний клуб з міста Глазго, грає у шотландському Прем'єршипу. Заснований 1887 року, першу гру провів 1888.

Клуб має давню історію протистоянь з «Рейнджерсом» — іншим футбольним клубом з Глазго. «Рейнджерс» та «Селтік» разом утворюють найвідоміше дербі світового футболу Олд Фірм.

Історія
Від часів свого заснування чемпіонат Шотландії вигравав 49 разів (востаннє у сезоні 2017-2018 років), а Кубок Шотландії з футболу — 36 (останній раз у сезоні 2012-2013 років), що є рекордним показником. Єдина шотландська команда, яка виграла Кубок європейських чемпіонів УЄФА (1967 рік). Стадіон клубу, «Селтік Парк» (широковідомий як Паркхед, від назви місцевості, де розташований) вміщує понад 60 000 вболівальників, і є найбільшим стадіоном Шотландії. Клуб має давню історію протистоянь із «Рейнджерс» — іншим футбольним клубом з Глазго. «Селтік» та «Рейнджерс» разом утворюють так званий Олд Фірм. Боротьба цих команд є однією з найшаленіших серед усіх спортивних протистоянь.

У сезоні 1966—1967 «Селтік» став першою британською командою, яка здобула Європейський Кубок (зараз відомий як Ліга чемпіонів УЄФА). Вони є одним з двох клубів, які здобули цей титул командою, що складається лише з гравців однієї національності, тобто шотландців (друга команда — румунська «Стяуа», що здобула Європейський Кубок командою, яка складалася лише з румунів, 1986 року). Всі гравці того матчу, яких прозвали «лісабонські леви», народилися в окрузі 30 миль від Селтік-Парку. Того ж сезону «Селтік» здобув усі національні титули: чемпіонат Шотландії, Кубок Шотландії, шотландський Кубок Ліги та Кубок Глазго. Таким чином, команда стала єдиною, яка сформувала Квадрупл (перемога у трьох головних національних турнірах та Європейському Кубку). У розіграші Кубка європейських чемпіонів 1969—1970 року «Селтік» знову дійшов до фіналу, але програв нідерландському «Феєнорду».

2003 року «Селтік» пройшов до фіналу Кубка УЄФА, який вони програли «Порту» з рахунком 2:3. Приблизно 80 000 вболівальників команди прибули до Севільї на цю гру, що стало найбільшою іноземною групою підтримки за всю історію. Фанати отримали нагороди від УЄФА та ФІФА за свою поведінку протягом всього турніру. Фанатська аудиторія «Селтіка» приблизно оцінюється у 9 млн осіб, включаючи 1 млн чоловік на території Північної Америки.

«Селтік» — єдиний футбольний клуб, який випускає свою власну газету (з 1965 року) та має телеканал (з 2004 року).
Піснею, яку найчастіше співають фанат Селтику є The Boys of the Old Brigade, проте її статус є неофіційним.

Announcer: [00:00:37] Every 11 seconds another older adult will be rushed to a US emergency room as a result of a fall. And by the time our show is over two of those people will die as a result of their injuries. This week on Parents Are Hard To Raise®… Dr. Robert Wood, falls prevention expert and director of the School of Allied Health Sciences at Boise State University is here to share his research and findings and tell us what we can do to keep our aging parents safer.
[00:01:08] Join 180 million monthly subscribers who can now listen to Parents Are Hard To Raise® on Spotify.
Diane Berardi: [00:01:26] Welcome to Parents Are Hard To Raise®. Helping families grow older together without losing their minds. I'm elder care expert Diane Berardi.
[00:01:35] Dr. Robert Wood is the director for the school for allied health sciences at Boise State University. He earned his PhD in kinesiology at LSU. Dr. Wood's research has largely focused on aging of the autonomic nervous system and prevention of falls in older adults. His work has been funded through the National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and as one of the top experts in fall prevention, we're so glad he made time for us on Parents Are Hard To Raise®. Bob, welcome to Parents Are Hard To Raise®.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:02:14] The pleasure is mine.
Diane Berardi: [00:02:33] So the statistics Dolly was quoting a little while ago are unbelievable, it's staggering. A simple thing like tripping on a rug or missing a step can change our parents life.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:02:48] Yes. That's right. It's in fact when. When we go out into the community for people over the age of 65 it's 1 in 3 adults will fall each year. And you know so we have this little thing we say where. Take a look to your left. Take a look at your right one of you will fall. Now don't push the other person over in hopes that it won't be you. But at eighty-five it goes to 1 in 2.
[00:03:16] So we see there is a real dramatic shift in what we call motor control or our ability to coordinate our movement that happens around age 80. And by the time folks are eighty-five the risk of falls is… It just goes up really precipitously. That folks who may have otherwise even been pretty functional and able to go out and play golf and all these things that age 80 they may suddenly find that they're having difficulty with balance.
Diane Berardi: [00:03:49] I just there's so many reasons why.
[00:04:19] When you're 20 years old, twenty five years old, the likelihood is that you can stand up out of a chair using just one leg. But by the time you get to that point where it's hard to stand up out of the chair, that suggests you've lost more than half of your leg strength. And a lot of that is attributable to lack of activity rather than age itself. But I think most of the research shows that you know that half of that age related loss in strength is attributed to inactivity but there is some that is absolutely attributable to age.
[00:05:00] Then also, multiple systems are declining with age, like our inner ears. They start to change physiologically at about age 40, we start to lose these things called hair cells, and that those are very important in our balance.
[00:05:18] And then vision also begins to decline. Neurologic control of our skeletal muscle we begin to see some deterioration in function. And fine motor skills to find adjustments.
[00:05:43] And those are hard to do a whole lot about. I think staying active is important. But other things are like making sure your home is safe.
[00:05:51] A lot of falls happened because, as you mentioned, people trip over rugs. Some falls occur because of what we call side effects due to medicines.
Diane Berardi: [00:06:04] Right. Okay.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:06:05] And sometimes that can be prevented if people make sure they tell their pharmacists and their physicians if they're having any kind of side effects. It's very very important.
[00:06:17] Vision Care is really important. What we've seen in our research is that people who are maybe lower socioeconomic status. They have more vision related issues and people who are higher economic status have more home hazards.
[00:06:36] So you know you might want to kind of you know if I'm thinking about what might I'd be at risk for that kind of information may be helpful for individuals.
[00:06:47] If you hear an optometrist say, "I think you can go another year with those lenses." That's probably code for, you need new lenses. Right?
[00:06:58] So it's kind of tuning into those things may help people to address some of their risk factors. And their other risk factors as well.
[00:07:09] Those are probably the primary ones but things that you would normally associate, like well, hearing.. Hearing deficit.
[00:07:18] Also, certain medications are more troublesome than others. If you take stuff to help you sleep or for anxiety and that kind of stuff they're pretty high up there in terms of their risk of falls.
[00:07:33] So there are a number of things. Some are modifiable and some are not.
Diane Berardi: [00:07:40] I know also we were mentioning getting up out of a chair. I watch my dad, he just tries to get up so fast. You know. And then he kind of teeters back.
[00:07:52] Yeah. Yes this is common. There are folks who if they stand up too quickly. They they're blood kind of shifts from their upper body down to their legs. And they get a lack of blood flow to the brain and it causes them to be dizzy, and fall.
[00:08:13] This is not uncommon at all. My father has this. So he has you know it took a while to convince him that he should use a walker, but he kept falling early in the morning when he'd first get up. So we negotiated with him that you know just use it when you first get up during the day, because he didn't want to have to use a walker if he didn't need one. But he knew he needed one early on in the day when he first got up. So we were able to negotiate that with him and he's you know he told me hey I was against that at first. But you know he says it just really helped. You know those are the times I've fallen in because I now do this, I'm not falling. And so you know there are some things like that.
[00:09:02] Also if people are incontinent. That's a trigger that people get up quickly a and try and run to the bathroom.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:09:11] And so that's why incontinence is a risk factor for falls.
[00:09:15] So it's really important that people make sure they take their time when they go from either a lying to a standing or sitting to a standing position to make sure that they're getting proper blood flow circulation to the brain and that they won't lose their balance.
Diane Berardi: [00:09:32] And falls in the bathroom are a big thing.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:09:36] That's right. So I mean it's important to have grab bars in your tub, shower, by your toilet. You know I think that if you're in a, if you live in an area that has AmeriCorps or maybe a Lowe's program they may have one I don't know. I know they have some community outreach stuff that they do, where you can get things installed relatively inexpensively, maybe just the cost of the grab bars.
[00:10:07] I think those are you know those are options that people should look into. You know if it's hard to afford that, because everyone knows you know home renovations are not cheap.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:10:19] One of the things we try and do is identify how people can get these done pretty inexpensively.
[00:10:26] But you know the thing… The problem is, people wait till they fall to have them installed.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:10:31] I've heard it a million times… "Well, I fell, and you know. Thank goodness I didn't get hurt too bad. So I had stuff installed. Well, you know. In your case thank goodness, but a lot of people have that mindset is they wait till they have the problem before they put in the preventive measure. And that's just something we're constantly working with people about.
[00:10:54] You know I'll tell you one of the things that we learned in our research that I don't necessarily think is intuitive to the family of the person who may fall.
[00:11:07] And this is something they told us and they've heard this more than once in some qualitative work, is that if somebody falls, they don't want to be helped… They oftentimes don't want to be helped up right away.
[00:11:22] They don't want people to come necessarily to their rescue, immediately. Maybe they're not ready to get up, even if they're not injured badly. They may just want to take their time. They may need to get themselves oriented. They may not even realize exactly what has happened and where they are. And so they need time and need to maybe communicate with them a little bit about what has happened, where they are. You know what's going on. Let them take their time.
[00:11:52] So in that acute setting with somebody does fall and think how we approach, how we approach those situations is just… You know it's equally important to the case as you try to prevent falls.
[00:12:06] And we're going to continue talking with Dr. Robert Wood.
[00:12:10] But if you're a woman or there's a woman in your life there's something you absolutely need to know.
[00:12:17] I want to tell you about my friend Katie. Katie is a nurse and she was attacked on her way home from work. She was totally taken by surprise. And although Katie is only 5 feet tall and 106 pounds she was easily able to drop her 6 foot 4, 250-pound attacker to his knees and get away unharmed.

[00:15:35] Bob, falls obviously with an injury, carry a heavy quality of life impact. But sometimes falls without an injury make people fearful of falling. And as a result then they limit their activities.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:15:54] Yeah, that's right.
[00:15:55] You know fear of falling is pretty complicated milieu of things that are going on. So in the literature they're trying to break it out into balance confidence, versus fear of falling. Because balance confidence speaks more to the extent to which somebody believes they can execute activities of daily living without losing their balance or falling. The fear of falling encompasses a whole lot more. And part of that is related to the person's perception of how their life will be impacted if they fall.
[00:16:38] For example, "I'm not going to tell my kids I fell, because then they'll take away my keys, or they'll make me get a walker, or my life will in some way… They won't let me live independently anymore." And so, fear of falling it also involves the fear of the consequences of falling. Could also be, "I don't want to be dependent on other people," either financially or physically for their care. "I'm afraid of that." That's something.
[00:17:11] So there's a whole lot of things going on that can also contribute to somebody reducing their activity level. And you're right. That then makes them at greater risk for falls. So they read you know so they're more fearful, so they do even less. And you get into the cycle.
[00:17:31] And it's really important that people have kind of safe and effective activities that they're confident that they can engage in that will kind of stress them at just the right level to where they can maintain optimal function.
[00:17:49] And there are some like great programs out there. I really love what people are doing with Tai Chi. OK. I've had I've gotten some certifications in the Tai Chi Moving for Better Balance. I think that's a fantastic program, comes out of the University of Oregon with Dr. Fuzhong Li. And then I really like the Tai Chi for people with arthritis. That comes out of somewhere in Arizona, Tucson or Phoenix. With Dr. David [Paul] Lam.
[00:18:21] And I really like both of those programs. I've gotten certifications in those, and we have implemented those in communities. And we've done that in a variety of ways through sustainable programs at no cost to the seniors. And they just love it.
[00:18:40] And we have seen people just blossom in those programs. People who are not participating in life. They were socially isolated. You know they were deteriorating. And as a result of these programs they have grown in confidence, they have grown in their social interaction and the relationships. They've resumed other activities like church and those kinds of things. And so I think this is really critical and that we need to find ways to be able to make those accessible to more and more people. And if people have a chance they should enroll in these. They should give it a go, because I think they'll really find it to be enjoyable.
Diane Berardi: [00:19:21] Oh yeah. That's wonderful. I mean it brings new life to the person.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:19:27] We've seen it. So great. Great story… Man in one program, really struggling with Parkinsonism. And you know when he first came in, when I was working with students, I was training students. And you know if you know anything about the disease you know what can happen with the mask, face and he looked so angry right? Because that's how that happens. And he took some students aside and told them you know how his presentation was so painful for him because no one would help him and stores, his grandchildren wouldn't come sit on my lap.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:20:16] I know! And so… But the students began to see you know kind of a struggle. But he did not want to be treated as if there was something wrong with him. Right? So it's the kind of struggle that's going on… So that relationship was just huge in that setting. The relationship he had with the other patients and the students and how much they grew just to love and respect each other. And physically he got to doing much better. And ultimately he wrote a play about Parkinsonism and he didn't want it to be about the struggle. He wanted it to be about how awesome people are that have Parkinsonism.
[00:21:08] And we got dancers to participate. It was just fabulous.
Diane Berardi: [00:21:14] Oh, that's great!
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:21:14] And it's really… So it's not just about the physical side of it. It's the whole emotional, social. You know that we need these spaces where people can engage in activities that are healthy physically and emotionally.
Diane Berardi: [00:21:30] Yeah. You're right about that. Now, how would people find programs for their parents in their communities?
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:21:40] Yeah. So you know, right now in the states, of course I'm speaking about in the States. You know that each of the states generally have some money that comes through their injury prevention division of the State Department of Health that is then in some ways making its way down to either county or municipal levels.
[00:22:08] And so if people have access to internet then they would certainly be able to find where those programs might exist and whether there's transportation.
[00:22:21] Sometimes they deliver these that like congregate food sites, which are kind of a nice feature. But if they don't have internet then I wouldn't say call the County Department of Health. That generally you know the money flows from the state to the county forward to support these programs and they might know.
[00:22:41] Another… If you live in a city that has academic institutions. You know they might have programs apart from the sort of you know community based programs.
[00:22:54] And you might you know, you might also contact like YMCAs and those types of places, that are known to have sort of a community outreach side. They're likely to do these kinds of things.
[00:23:08] So Internet would be my first. I'd look around I think you'll find something. But if not I would call County, Universities, YMCAs.
Diane Berardi: [00:23:19] You know I think it would be great if… Like I'm thinking I'd love to take a Tai Chi class with my dad.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:23:27] That Awesome.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:23:30] Well it's a great thing about… well, I need to sell Tai Chi a little bit because you know it sounds kind of like to some people aren't familiar with it like a little bit kind of mystical and this kind of stuff. But let me tell you something… Tai Chi… It has everything that people are looking for in physical activity, because you can do it at home. You do not get sweaty and have to take a shower afterwards. You can do it in small increments. And it's enjoyable.
[00:24:04] It doesn't… It's not it's so exertional that you feel you're stressing yourself out. And there are very few people for whom it is contraindicated or very few people who can't do it.
[00:24:19] And the programs like the Tai Chi moving for better balance, they're really good at adaptations for people that have functional limitations. A lot of older adults got bad shoulders.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:24:34] Or it's hard for them to get up out of a chair or these kinds of things that we talked about. And this program really is designed for those people. That's who this is for. And quite honestly, the person that has the most to gain from a single exercise session, is the person who has not been exercising. The people that say, "oh it's too late for me. It's too late. I just couldn't do it, it's too late." No they have more to gain from that single exercise session, that day, than somebody who's already been doing it for years and years and years.
[00:25:08] So I think you know if people gave it a try. I think they would actually find it to be pretty cool. The thing that a lot of people will feel at first is that, well, you know it's, "you know, I don't know if I have that move down… That particular way of moving I don't think I have it perfect." You don't have to, to get the benefit. Now, if you wanted to be a master Tai Chi teacher. Yeah. You've got to be perfect at it. But that's the goal here. The goal is to be utilizing your body in certain ways to maintain your postural stability and balance in all those things. And so this is just you know Tai Chi is just awesome. I am a believer.
Diane Berardi: [00:25:50] That's great. So how can people find out about your research? Contact you?
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:25:56] Well my e-mail is pretty easy. Is BobWood@BoiseState.edu. So that's probably the easiest way to get me.
[00:26:06] You know, I'm more directing programs right now. I'm not as quite involved in the actual delivery of the research based programs, but we have some. And we have a center for the Study of Aging, here. And so we want to develop programs for older adults. We're implementing some, and want to do some more.
[00:26:29] So I hope to keep my hand in the research, but I certainly am going to be keeping my hand on what's going on in the community and trying to contribute in these kinds of ways.
Diane Berardi: [00:26:42] Thank you so much. Dr. Robert Wood, for being here. What a great show and great information.
Dr. Bob Wood: [00:26:48] Well, it's my pleasure and I hope we can talk again soon.

As the dark side's aspirations are foiled by the planetary White Hats, traces of their incomplete projects and plans, evidence of participation in controlling and enslaving, all their false flag dramas, and lying "news" reports, are surfacing.
As we aspire to increase our vibrations, to bring more Light into our molecules, our "stuff" surfaces; that is, stored angers, resentments, prejudices, blame, fear, low self-esteem, arrogance, hypocrisy, etc. We feel the associated emotions and let them go. Similar clearings are going on in societies.
On a deeper level, oft-revisited thoughts that are not of the highest vibrations have turned into false beliefs about ourselves and the world. These beliefs attract more thoughts of the same ilk. Not only that, but our beliefs determine the kinds of experiences we have, individually and collectively. If we feel, for example, that life is unfair, we will experience what we take as unfairness, real or imagined.
NOW, however, our Light "quotient" is higher—Light is showing us our abilities. As we let go the emotions, above, we also let go of false beliefs. We are seeing that life is in our own control. And so, we are shaping our futures in New Earth.
You could say that outside the lies of the mass media, reliably real news is uploaded to the internet.
You could also consider people who are reliably 4th Density, as opposed to vacillating between 3rd and 4th Density feelings, thoughts and attitudes. They are "uploaded" in the sense of being handed off from one level of spiritual overseers to another. Overseers are spirits, or you may say souls, whose task it is to assist this New Earth in some way. Hue-Mans are uploaded and given more responsibility, more effectiveness, tasks or missions of wider effect. You may imagine what those might be and what that might mean for you, personally.
An accounting and assessment of the energetic systems of individuals, societies, groups, all of us together as our Collective Consciousness has begun.
Think of a wide, deep creek with running water that is muddy and clogged in places by fallen trees or rocks. Then think of its being cleared of all the impediments and stirred sediments, so that it runs clear and more powerfully.
Similarly, as the menses surface, the above-mentioned Energetics are cleared by this month's powerful Event energies, which may be guided at times and in instances for more effect, by Higher Divine beings.
Senegal treatments alleviate the morning chill.
Senega is a pretty little flowered medicinal plant. Some major uses are for respiratory and heart ailments, snakebite, to induce abortion, and according to an old Irish medicine book (1735), to increase lactation. And we can gain several meanings from "Senegal treatments": Assistance in recovery from the "snakebite" of the dark side who has controlled Earth; helping us to be able to breathe in the new energies and open our hearts; aborting the plans of the dark side.
As I take it, Mother Earth and our Great Goddess, the Divine Feminine who has returned to Earth's realms are providing increased "nourishment" of our New Earth.
The thrashing around of the dark cabal in feeble last efforts to avoid its end, is settling still.
How about our desperation in ridding ourselves of elements of life that we don't desire, as in fighting against hunger, disease, control, etc.? When we realize that what we fight, we focus on and thus create, we stop fighting—anything.
Our stepping stone paths through the multiverse are made straight¹. We proceed directly toward further development of wonderful experiences in this delightful New Earth.
You know who that is. Our Extraterrestrial Families.
Hue-manity insights have been clarified for next phase to begin.
Our visions of New Earth and of how Reality works has been somewhat murky. We've held some misconceptions about New Earth. I've heard, for example, that some people will be taken up in the sky, into a heavenly realm and descend back down as glowing Light beings. Some people still think that major catastrophes will wipe out the third density people. Some have thought that the ET will land, either to save us or to enslave us. There are stories of Jesus descending and saving us, from what is never explained. I tell you, none of those things will happen, unless you somehow create it. We will not be slaves, even to Jesus or Buddha (neither of whom wanted us to be). There will be no catastrophe and no dramatic and automatic ascension of anyone. All such filmy ideas are being clarified so we know that WE, our collective and personal consciousnesses, are driving our ascension.
Gaia gateways are now primed.
Gateways are energetic openings, opportunities to proceed along certain pathways. Now, the gateways that we have desired—those to lives of peace and happiness, are prepared.
Fantasies we've believed, such as being held back by dark forces, or having someone else lead us into paradise, are cleared. We know that we are co-Creators with God / The All That IS, and what we create is our own responsibility.
Portals of activation expand at once.
Portals / doors / openings / gateways / opportunities / probabilities of activation of all good things, of great Renaissance, of continuing betterment of our experiences here, of wider Consciousness and greater use of inner senses in this New Earth are expand.
There is no way to avoid creating and experiencing our desired beautiful Gaia.
gaia_energy Awakenings come strongly in the clairvoyant Gaia Energies.
Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't yet noticed it. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? I hope to get to it tomorrow, Monday.
Senegal is also a West African country bordering the Atlantic Ocean.
Well, since September 3, in this area we have had an unusual wave of African heat, from the Sahara and Senegal.
I live in the Principality of Asturias (Northern Spain), which is a very green and fresh area, linked to Celtic peoples (such as Ireland or Scotland).
At this time of year temperatures are usually between 15 ° C (59 ° F) minimum and 21 ° C (72 ° F) maximum.
From September 3 until today, temperatures have been between 30-39ºC (90-103ºF) … even at dawn !!
My brother who lives in London says they're going through something similar. What is quite unusual.
The radiation is so intense that in my garden have burned apples on trees. And the grass crunches underfoot. It is really something amazing.
Weather forecasts say that this will continue until Tuesday 13, when temperatures plummet 20º and have heavy rain.
I do not know what is happening. But my feeling is that this is more than just weather. I do not think that either try to climate change. I think that somehow the Earth is subjecting us to a much needed radiotherapy session, and will arrive on Tuesday heavy rains that will clean all traces of what has been deleted. I hope so.
Wow! That sounds right on, Cristina! I can't wait to go read it to Jerry. I'll call attention to your comment in my next Gaia Portal post and will see what else I might "get" out of it. I sure appreciate all of your insights.
It's just that not everyone reads the comments, but it's here for those who do. I had hoped to complete the interpretation of that 9/11 post today, but will not get it done tonight. I'm sorry about that, Jane.


A delicious, nose of subtle tangy gooseberry fruit with passion fruit hints invites you to indulge in the wine. Beautifully balanced on the palate, it's got the perfect mix of zippy green fruit (gooseberry and lime), subtle tropical hints (passion fruit and mango) and a savoury green pepper edge. . It's a tremendously impressive wine.


This month our state lawmakers kicked off the 132nd Ohio General Assembly. At the beginning of the month, Governor John Kasich announced his intention to include congressional redistricting reform in his state budget bill. The state budget was introduced today but without a fix for gerrymandering.
We've made a lot of headway on redistricting reform but congressional redistricting is still left undone.
In November 2015, voters established the bipartisan Ohio Redistricting Commission and new rules for state legislative mapmaking including a prohibition on gerrymandering or manipulating districts for partisan advantage. This reform won the support of more than 71% of voters and won in all 88 counties.
What's good for the Statehouse is good for Congress but state law makers fail to act. On January 4, the Akron Beacon Journal called new Ohio Senate President Larry Obhof to action in an editorial titled New Face, Same Statehouse Opposition to Redistricting Reform.
"Although the GOP currently controls the process, and 12 of the 16 congressional seats, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Secretary of State Jon Husted — both Republicans — have both advocated for a fairer system for determining how the boundaries are drawn.
But interviews with key Republicans in the Ohio General Assembly show some have little interest in relinquishing power over the congressional map.
'The authority to draw congressional districts lies with the legislature,' said John Fortney, spokesman for State Senate President Larry Obhof, R-Medina.
For context—The Ohio Redistricting Commission which is tasked with state legislative redistricting includes four members of the state legislature (a member or appointee of each of the following: the Speaker of the Ohio, the Minority Leader of the Ohio House, Ohio Senate President and the Senate Minority Leader). Other members include the Governor, the Secretary of State and the Auditor.
After two years of legislative inaction on congressional redistricting reform, the Fair Districts = Fair Elections Coalition will keep pushing forward on placing reform on the ballot ourselves until such time as the legislature gets serious about putting real reform before voters.
We need your help! Please volunteer to help make congressional redistricting reform a reality. Want to help but not sure what you can do? Please call the Fair Districts = Fair Elections Coalition at 614-259-8388.
Fellow redistricting reformers, our efforts got a real boost yesterday! All of us have been abuzz about Governor John Kasich announcing that he wants congressional redistricting reform in the state budget bill. Many of you have probably seen it already, but in case you haven't, click here for "Kasich wants congressional redistricting reform in state budget" from today's Columbus Dispatch.
Gov. Kasich has long been a proponent of Congressional gerrymandering reform. He included it in last year's State of the State address. You can watch the video clip here.
Thank Governor Kasich – Contact his office. Thank him for speaking out in support of congressional redistricting reform and urging legislative leaders to stop stonewalling needed reform.
Contact your state Representative and Senator – Tell them you agree with Governor Kasich that it is past time we pass Congressional redistricting reform. Urge the legislature to consider the Fair Districts = Fair Elections coalition proposal.
Spread the word – Share the news article above on social media and urge your friends to get involved. Write letters to the editor of your local paper. Talk to community leaders. Urge others to join the Fair Districts = Fair Elections coalition.
Don't forget to sign up for updates. We need your help us put a stop to Congressional gerrymandering.
"Fair Districts for Congress Too: Why Ohio Can't Afford to Wait"
The Fair Districts = Fair Elections Coalition was formed in August 2015 by good government groups, including the League of Women Voters of Ohio and Common Cause Ohio, to support passage of the 2015 state ballot Issue 1 to reform redistricting, which was placed on the ballot by the legislature. This bipartisan redistricting proposal created a fairer and more transparent process for drawing state legislative districts, but it did not include Congressional districts. Our work on redistricting reform led to 2015's state Issue 1 passing by a landslide 71.5% of the vote, winning by a wide majority in all of Ohio's 88 counties.
Ohio's current winner-take-all method of Congressional district drawing leaves one political party in charge of mapmaking – that means district lines are manipulated to marginalize the other party and create elections where one party is virtually guaranteed to win. The Fair Districts = Fair Elections Coalition advocates for extending the state fair district rules approved in 2015 to Congress Too. We have urged the state legislature to place reform for Congress Too before voters, but, when the legislature refused to act, the Fair Districts = Fair Elections Coalition put forward a reform proposal.
We invited public comment on our proposal, and it has improved thanks to public input. Now we are asking community leaders and voters for their support and recommendations in Fair Districts for Congress Too.
Congressional districts will be drawn by a bipartisan body – the Ohio Redistricting Commission – the same body that will draw state legislative districts under the new rules approved by voters in 2015. This prevents one political party from rigging districts in its favor by requiring both parties to agree to a map.
Maps cannot be drawn to favor or disfavor a political party or candidate. This prevents gerrymandering, "sweetheart deals" or guaranteed "safe seats" favoring a party or candidate.
Districts must keep communities together and be compact. This prevents oddly-shaped districts that carve up communities. Maps must minimize the splitting of counties, municipalities, and townships.
The district map-drawing process must be open, transparent, and accountable to the public. The Commission must release proposed district maps for public testimony and accept public submissions.
Contact your state Representative and Senator and urge them to support Fair Districts for Congress Too.
10/28/2016 "Fair Districts = Fair Elections Coalition Requests Public Input" – Summarizes original Oct. 2016 proposal draft and includes public comments.
12/28/2016 "What about a Tie-Breaker?" – Links to revised proposal based on feedback and poses question for public comment about possible impasse options.

A Little Bit Culty
Illustration by Claire Merchlinsky
In the fall, HBO will release the second season of "The Vow," a documentary saga about the so-called "executive success" organization NXIVM, which evolved into a nefarious sex cult—an abusive sorority that used a cautery iron to brand female members with the initials of the group's leader, Keith Raniere. How did things up in Albany go so very wrong? Answers can be found in the popular and wildly compelling podcast "A Little Bit Culty," hosted by two former high-ranking NXIVM members, Sarah Edmondson and Anthony (Nippy) Ames. They met and were married while in NXIVM, and are jointly pursuing a new mission: to get people out of cults, and to provide an open channel where former cult members can discuss what they went through. Their podcast, now in its fourth season, offers a fascinating glimpse into a marriage, and at two people grappling with regret and anger in real time. What makes it different from other cult podcasts—and they are legion—is that it's less about teasing out horrific details and more about publicly processing life after brainwashing, with all the confusion and grief and pain that come with realizing you were a victim of—and also perpetuated—a dangerous scam. Both Edmondson and Ames have a good sense of humor—Edmondson's favorite expression is "that really chaps my ass"—and their lighthearted approach helps their guests delve into some truly dark places.

Q: Using VirtualDocumentRoot *only* if a suitable document root exists I'd like to set up an environment where Apache virtual hosts can be dynamically created without reloading the configuration.
I can do this with mod_vhost_alias, I set up my default virtual host something like this
<VirtualHost *>
  UseCanonicalName Off
  VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/sandboxes/domains/%0
  ServerName catchall.host
</VirtualHost>

That works just fine, but if a request is made for a hostname which isn't currently set up, I get a 404 Not Found error.
What I'd really like to do is only have this VirtualHost kick in only if the document root exists, otherwise have it try to match another vhost (in other words, make the presence of the the VirtualDocumentRoot work in the same way as using a ServerAlias)
I tried making this the second vhost, with the first vhost just handling all requests, but this didn't work - requests for domains where a VirtualDocumentRoot was configured were falling through to the default vhost.
So, how can I have dynamically configured vhosts, but with a fallback to another vhost for any which aren't configured yet?

A: I found a workaround which works for me.
I can use an ErrorDocument to pick up the 404 Error in a PHP script. At first, that seemed problematic. If there's no DocumentRoot, where will the script live?
I could use a URL for the error message, served from a different domain. However, in testing I found no way of knowing what the originally requested domain was.
The answer was to Alias a directory and serve the errors out of that, so my vhost looks like this
<VirtualHost *>
  UseCanonicalName Off
  VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/sandboxes/domains/%0
  ServerName catchall.host
  Alias /errors /var/www/default/errors/
  ErrorDocument 404 /errors/notfound.php
</VirtualHost>

Now, when an unconfigured domain is requested, the script at /var/www/default/errors/notfound.php is invoked instead. This script can check $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to see what domain was requested. If it is actually configured, then we have a regular 404. If it's not configured, we can display some alternate error message. In my case, it's where I show a UI to help set the vhost up.

A: I found your question when Googling. I had exactly the same problem and applied the fix as described in Paul's answer. However, for my complex web app, I wasn't happy with routing all requests trough one single notfound.php.
In the end, I managed to fix the problem without external scripts, only by editing my VirtualHost config.
At first, my VirtualHost was configured like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    Usecanonicalname Off
    Virtualdocumentroot /mnt/ramdisk/www/cms-%-3.0-development/
</VirtualHost>

I had URLs like client1.domainname.com, client2.domainname.com and whatever.domainname.com
which resolved to /mnt/ramdisk/www/cms-client1-development/, /mnt/ramdisk/www/cms-client2-development/ and /mnt/ramdisk/www/cms-whatever-development/
However, an URL like nonexistent.domainname.com would give me a 404 because the directory /mnt/ramdisk/www/cms-nonexistent-development/ did not exist. I wanted these subdomains to use the directory /mnt/ramdisk/www/cms-default-development/
I fixed this by using ModRewrite and ModProxy:
<VirtualHost *:80>
    Usecanonicalname Off
    Virtualdocumentroot /mnt/ramdisk/www/cms-%-3.0-development/
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domainname\.com$ [NC]
    RewriteCond /mnt/ramdisk/www/cms-%1-development/ !-d
    RewriteRule (.*) http://default.domainname.com/$1 [P,L]
</VirtualHost>

What this does is: grab the subdomain (the part before .domainname.com), insert that into the path (the %1) and proxy requests to the default URL only if the directory doesn't exist.
By using a proxy, the process is transparent and the user thinks he's visiting http://nonexistent.domainname.com, while he actually views the content from http://default.domainname.com/.

A: I also came across this question googling for apache2 dynamic vhost fallback and Luc's answer helped me a lot with solving my problem, but I still want to show what I did to achieve my goals, mainly because it involved some extra works and because I think it could be helpful for any future googlers...
My goals

*

*dynamic vhosting for all domains and subdomains pointing at my VPS

*foo.com should serve the same content as www.foo.com

*fallback for unknown domains to some sort of default

*fallback for unknown subdomains of foo.com to www.foo.com unless the www is not available, fallback to default instead

DNS
I have a couple of domains (and all their subdomains) pointing at my VPS, for example:

*

*foo.com

*bar.com

*foobar.com

Filesystem
I have the following directories, domains contain directories with the names of the available subdomains, the www directory is required, but the config should be able to deal with the situation where it is not present. Localhost is used as default fallback:
/var
  /www
    /localhost
    /foo.com
       /www
       /bar
    /bar.com
       /foo

Tests
Translating my goals into testable cases:

*

*foo.com should be served from foo.com/www

*www.foo.com should be served from foo.com/www

*bar.foo.com should be served from foo.com/bar

*foo.foo.com should be served from foo.com/www (foo.com/foo does not exist)

*bar.com should be served from localhost (bar.com/www does not exist)

*www.bar.com should be served from localhost (bar.com/www does not exist)

*foo.bar.com should be served from bar.com/foo

*bar.bar.com should be served from localhost (bar.com/bar does not exist)

*foobar.com should be served from localhost (foobar.com does not exist)

*www.foobar.com should be served from localhost (foobar.com does not exist)

*foo.foobar.com should be served from localhost (foobar.com does not exist)

The Solution
This uses: mod_rewrite, mod_proxy_http and ofcourse mod_vhost_alias.
ServerName my.domain
ServerAdmin admin@my.domain

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName sub.domain
    ServerAlias *.*.*
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%-2.0.%-1.0/%-3

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.(.*)\.(.*)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond /var/www/%2.%3 !-d
    RewriteRule (.*) http://localhost/$1 [P]

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.(.*)\.(.*)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond /var/www/%2.%3/%1 !-d
    RewriteCond /var/www/%2.%3/www !-d
    RewriteRule (.*) http://localhost/$1 [P]

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.(.*)\.(.*)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond /var/www/%2.%3/%1 !-d
    RewriteRule (.*) http://%2.%3/$1 [P]
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName bare.domain
    ServerAlias *.*
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%-2.0.%-1.0/www

    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.(.*)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond /var/www/%1.%2 !-d [OR]
    RewriteCond /var/www/%1.%2/www !-d
    RewriteRule (.*) http://localhost/$1 [P]
</VirtualHost>

How does this work? There are three virtual hosts defined:
localhost
The localhost serves as a default. All requests that are not resolvable are served by localhost. Setting up a symlink from localhost to any of your domains is like setting up that site as a default.
sub.domain
The sub.domain vhost is taking all requests in the form of *.*.*. By default all requests are served from /domain.com/sub as defined by VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%-2.0.%-1.0/%-3.
fallback:
The first RewriteRule takes care of unknown domains, eg. domain.com directory does not exist, by proxying the localhost website.
The second RewriteRule also proxies to localhost when both the domain.com/sub and the domain.com/www directories are not present.
The third RewriteRule proxies to domain.com when domain.com/sub does not exist. We know domain.com/www does exist because of the second rewrite block.
bare.domain
The bare.domain vhost is taking the *.*requests and serves them /domain.com/www
Here the RewriteRule will proxy to localhost when domain.com or domain.com/www do not exist.
^$%.*!!!
I had some trouble wrapping my head around all those $ and % signs in the RewriteCond and RewriteRule so I will explain about them here:
    ServerAlias *.*.*
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%-2.0.%-1.0/%-3
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.(.*)\.(.*)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond /var/www/%2.%3/%1 !-d
    RewriteRule (.*) http://%2.%3/$1 [P]

*

*The * in the ServerAlias are just wildcards.

*The %n in the VirtualDocumentRoot are from the document name interpolation.

*The %n in the second RewriteCond refer to the selections (.*) from the first RewriteCond, eg. the parts of the requested domain.

*The %n in the RewriteRule do too.

*The $1 in the RewriteRule refers to the selection (.*) at the beginning of the RewriteRule. Which captures everything from the domain till the ? in the request url. Any querystring is automatically added to the url by mod_proxy.

A: Just throwing it out there, I get the same result (minus the localhost redirect) as RemyNL, but also including the IP address when connecting directly:
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} Off [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
    RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [NC,R=301,L]
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
    ServerName a.b.c.d
    ServerAlias *.*.*.*
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
    ServerName a.b.c
    ServerAlias *.*.*
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%-2.0.%-1.0/%-3
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
    ServerName a.b
    ServerAlias *.*
    VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%-2.0.%-1.0/www
</VirtualHost>

How to Get Everyone in Your School Confidently Using Microsoft Teams – A Guide to Long-Term User Adoption for Schools
The main challenge schools, academies and multi academy trusts face when rolling out a new technology or platform is user adoption.
Typically, a core group of tech-savvy teachers and staff embrace the new technology, while others are left behind.
This results in various, separate solutions being used within the school, with learning resources scattered across different places and servers and – ultimately – your school not making the most of the technology it has invested in.
But the key reason for this isn't usually the platform or technology itself. Instead, it's a lack of a clear, long-term plan and strategy.
Switching to a brand-new technology isn't easy; it's a significant change for all involved. But we must make sure that we bring everyone along together on the journey to ensure higher user adoption and avoid leaving anyone behind.
Of course, a further problem has also been born in 2020. Covid-19.
Many schools were forced to adopt tools like Microsoft Teams and SharePoint for short-term gains due to school closures and remote teaching.
While this placed a plaster over the problem and gave students the short-term support they needed to learn from home temporarily, the rushed approach didn't take into consideration the potential long-term impact of the technology.
We now need to take a step back and think about a long-term strategy so that the technology you've invested in serves your staff and students for years to come.
Moving to the cloud isn't brand new for 2020. Schools have been adopting Teams and SharePoint to reap the benefits of centralised resources, lower server costs and enhanced learning for years.
Whether you already have Teams and SharePoint, or if you're new to cloud-based learning, now is the time to implement a long-term strategy for your new technology. And here's how you can do that.
Communicate your vision to the school.
Give key people ownership over the project.
Set a long-term plan.
Set milestones and key dates.
Deliver hands-on training.
Measure your success and resolve issues.
Adjust, adapt and adopt.
Introduce the new technology to your staff to let them know what your vision is and what the new way of working will look like.
It's crucial to outline your key reasons for switching to the new technology by explaining clearly the benefits to the school, to staff and to students. Weaving it into your school ethos and culture further strengthens your argument and helps to get more people on board with the idea.
Three things to keep in mind when communicating your vision:
What does the new reality look like?
What are the benefits to the school?
How does this fit in with the school ethos and culture?
Here's an example of how a school has tied in their new technology with their school ethos:
Select a group of champions who work with you on the project to help with the planning stage and drive user adoption within their department.
This stage is important because having representatives from each area of the school not only enables them to have a sense of ownership over the product but also encourages other staff members to use the technology as it rolls out.
A typical project team might look like this:
Curriculum representatives for Teaching and Learning.
MIS Manager.
Head of Digital Strategy.
IT Support Team.
What do they do:
Plan and own product.
Showcase benefits to staff.
Provide training support.
Department Champions:
Curriculum Lead from each department.
Drive usage in their departments.
Showcase benefits.
Provide cascaded training.
The planning stages are vital to save time, money and ensure the new technology works well for everyone who will be using it.
Use spreadsheets to map out what you need the software to do for your school.
For SharePoint, a central space is essential to avoid unnecessary duplication of work and files, scattered resources and information siloes.
It's easy to fall into the habit of everyone creating their own sites, with no central governance, and we've found this has been a common problem for schools who were compelled to rush adoption as a response to coronavirus.
If this sounds like you, don't panic. Now is your chance to get everything in order and avoid more work in the future.
The key concept to keep in mind when planning is to think about the long term and how you can scale up your use of this technology year after year.
Here is an example of how a simple plan for SharePoint for schools might look like:
SharePoint home page.
Whether you're a member of staff or a student, you can access published news and information about the school here.
Communication sites.
Sites for publishing information to large groups of people. Content is there to be consumed, rather than co-authored – for example, staff briefings, library services and policy documents.
Non-curriculum teams.
Secure areas only accessible to small groups of people who need access. For example, finance and administration .
It's essential to keep this a flat, simple structure that is easy to scale up.
Subject sites.
All of your long-term resources are stored here. It's a central place that has resources stored so they can be used year after year.
There's a tendency to use Class Teams for this, which works for one academic year, but as soon as that ends, teachers need to duplicate all the content to another Class Team.
Storing all resources in SharePoint not only reduces the duplication of work, but also unlocks further opportunities. Departments can share resources, co-author documents and Heads of Departments can check the quality of the learning resources.
Teams.
Used for collaborating and communicating with other people. For example, department groups, the finance team and Class Teams.
One crucial thing to remember is you don't have to get it right first time. It's a process, and by listening to feedback, you're able to build a solution that works for everyone in your school.
User adoption doesn't happen overnight. There's no quick fix, and it's an ongoing process.
Break up your long-term plan into milestones, helping users have something to aim for, as well as to celebrate progress.
For example, it could be that you set your file servers to read-only by a specific date, allowing staff to have a deadline for when they need to move their resources to the cloud.
Three things to remember when setting milestones:
Be realistic – it's not going to happen overnight.
Be flexible – milestones can be pushed back or brought forward, depending on your school and staff.
Get feedback – listen to your users and adapt your approach.
Support staff by delivering quality, hands-on training.
Avoid one huge webinar presentation and get people involved using the software.
Deliver training to small groups, not everyone at once. Think about how you'd teach a lesson to students.
Split up teaching and non-teaching staff to tailor the sessions as much as possible to the audience. Teaching staff need to know about some features that non-teaching staff won't use – for example, Assignments in Teams.
Grouping by ability helps to make sure no one gets left behind, and you're not training staff on tools and features they're already confident using.
Three things to keep in mind when delivering training:
Don't train once and stop there, refreshers might be needed.
Be open to feedback and adapt your process.
Do your students need training too?
If you're stuck on where to get started with training, we have some free training videos that are specifically geared towards schools.
Evaluate your progress and measure user adoption as you move through your plan.
You can do this by getting feedback from staff and regularly talking to your champions to spot any barriers and challenges users are facing.
Microsoft Forms is a great way to do this. You can create a quick survey to see what areas you need to improve on. And, with Microsoft Teams , you can see who is using the software and – more crucially – who isn't.
Three areas to monitor when you measure user adoption:
The key challenges people are facing.
The features that aren't being used by staff.
The staff/departments who aren't using the software.
At Cloud Design Box, we have our own analytic dashboard to help keep track of teacher user adoption with Teams assignments.
Once you have collected feedback and data showing your user adoption progress, it's essential to adjust and adapt your process to suit your school's needs.
This is different for every school, but for example, it might be that you need to adjust training to suit the ability of your staff, or, alternatively, focus on a specific area where a large percentage of staff are struggling.
Three keys things to keep in mind when adjusting your process:
Be realistic.
Don't be afraid to go back.
Keep checking user adoption and adapt accordingly.
By staying realistic, setting clear goals and adjusting your process, you'll be able to get everyone on board with your new technology.

Office 365 User Adoption Podcast Episode 2 – Learning From Experience with Gareth Rose.
We understand that seamless user adoption of Office 365 and SharePoint can prove tricky, with many hurdles to jump before your whole organisation is fully on board.
That's why we're creating a series of podcasts focusing on real-life user adoption stories, with schools, academies and businesses just like yours.
The second episode features Tony Phillips, Cloud Design Box Founder, and Gareth Rose, Assistant Headteacher at Notley High School & Braintree Sixth Form.
Gareth's experience with user adoption in schools is unique as he has already been through the process of rolling out Office 365, Teams, SharePoint and Class Notebook at his former workplace, Dagenham Park Church of England School.
We spoke with Gareth to find out what tools and techniques he is going to reuse when introducing the Microsoft suite to the staff and pupils at Notley High School.
Create champions.
"My first piece of advice is to get people to become champions of the product. Get the RE teacher to understand the value in putting all their class resources online and show the Music teacher how pupils can annotate in OneNote," Gareth enthuses.
Starting out with small, basic tasks, Gareth got to know the main pain points of departments and the word spread from there.
"You can see the spark in their eyes when you've saved them 20 minutes of time using a basic feature of Office 365."
Give them no choice.
"A very quick win is changing everyone's home page to the staff or pupil SharePoint. This gets people familiar with the technology and helps them to become comfortable with using it in the future," Gareth continues.
"Make it so it's the only way to access some resources, such as the lunchtime duty rota. When people start to see how beneficial it is to have one calendar that is regularly updated, rather than multiple emails with multiple versions, they begin to gain confidence in the system."
From here, Gareth explains, the word 'SharePoint' was being banded around the staffroom and uttered in staff meetings. By getting people to engage with the platform, you can raise their confidence when it comes to moving more activities across to Office 365.
Have an open-door policy.
"Of course, giving people only one choice when accessing certain documents is risky. But, explain to people, if they have any issues, they can come and see you," he points out.
"At Dagenham Park, I would sit in with teachers on the first few lessons to get them and their pupils properly set up. In a couple of sessions, teachers and students were writing digital notes and recording their voices in French – incredible to see."
Working with members of staff and pupils in this way also allows you to understand the many ways in which Office 365 and SharePoint can help enhance the teaching and learning experience.
"After this, it's kind of like a rolling stone," Gareth highlights.
"I can see a time in the future where all pupils have iPads. We've seen schools hand out devices to their students, but without an ecosystem in which they can actually use them in. What we're building here is an environment where everyone is on board and using the features of Office 365 to their full potential."
Final, takeaway points from Gareth:
Create and identify champions of Office 365 and SharePoint.
Get to know ways in which individuals and departments could benefit from using the suite.
Change the homepage and make some resources available only on SharePoint.
Be prepared to offer support and answer any questions people have.
Design an ecosystem in which people can use Office 365.

Old Elk Straight Wheat Whiskey
Size750mL Proof100 (50% ABV) *Please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
Crafted with a mash bill of 95% wheat and 5% malted barley, this lively and bright wheat whiskey is the reason that Old Elk was named "Colorado Wheat Whiskey Distillery of the Year" at the 2020 edition of the New York International Spirits Competition.
This product is available in: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OR, PA, RI, SC, TN, VA, WA Unfortunately, we can't ship to PO Boxes and APO addresses.
About Old Elk Straight Wheat Whiskey
Old Elk Distillery was founded in 2013 by Curt and Nancy Richardson (creators of OtterBox and Blue Ocean Enterprises) in Fort Collins, Colorado. The label is a collaboration with Master Distiller Greg Metze of MGP fame, a bourbon specialist with over 40 years of experience in whiskey development. They consistently produce top quality handcrafted vodkas, gins, and bourbons. Named Colorado "Distillery of the Year" by the New York International Spirits Competition for two consecutive years (2016-2017), the Old Elk Distillery produces Old Elk Bourbon, Dry Town Gin, Dry Town Vodka, and Nooku Bourbon Cream.
Their bourbon is handcrafted using a signature Slow Cut proofing process, which is said to enhance the bourbon's flavors through a meticulous technique where the spirit is cut to proof, left to rest, and the process is repeated over the course of multiple weeks. This method takes significantly longer than the traditional 24-48 hour proofing process. This extra time allows the flavors to mingle, resulting in a smoother, more balanced bourbon. As less heat is produced, the lighter flavors stay in the liquid.
The Old Elk Straight Wheat Whiskey has Metze channeling his rye-crafting expertise into a wheat whiskey with a mash bill of 95% soft red winter wheat and 5% malted barley. Aged for 5 years and bottled at 100 proof, it's a lively, bright, and refreshing whiskey that has won several awards, including a Gold Medal from the Beverage Testing Institute and the title of "Colorado Wheat Whiskey Distillery of the Year" from the New York International Spirits Competition in 2020.

About American Whiskey
There are two main representatives of the American whiskey family, bourbon, and rye, but some other spirits don't fall into those two strictly regulated categories.
There's equally strictly regulated American single malt, made from 100% malted barley, Tennessee whiskey, essentially bourbon filtered through maple charcoal and aged in new charred oak barrels.
And then there's moonshine, a high proof (150- 170 proof) distilled spirit mainly made out of corn which gained popularity during the prohibition.
Check out our impressive selection of American single malts, or find your new favorite in our rich whisk(e)y selection, and get familiarized with what the world has to offer.
Bright and refreshing, the nose of this whiskey opens with soft honey, fruit, cherry, vanilla, and oak notes. The warm palate has peach, dried fig, vanilla, oak, yeast, and cedar. Finishes bold and smooth.

Stay Out, Stay Alive — Closing Abandoned Mines to Protect the Public
Posted by CalConservation on March 19, 2019 March 19, 2019
By Don Drysdale
DOC Division of Mine Reclamation's Abandoned Mine Lands Unit (AMLU) has been responsible for closing more than a thousand potentially dangerous legacy mine openings around the state, typically with protecting outdoor recreation enthusiasts in mind. Recently, though, AMLU facilitated a project that started with a mother's plea to protect a child in true need of protection.
In late October 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's Bakersfield office was contacted by a new resident of the Hungry Gulch area of Lake Isabella who had found the abandoned shaft within a couple hundred feet of her home.
"It's literally across the street – much too close for comfort," said the resident, Mylee Dornner.
An AMLU contractor peers into an old mineshaft near residences in the Lake Isabella area.
The proximity of the mine itself may have raised a red flag, but there's more to the story.
"My youngest son is autistic," Dornner explained. "He has an issue known as 'eloping,' which is why I was very nervous about the shaft. Basically, he sometimes runs away, and he's not afraid of things that he should be afraid of. He's scared of the sound of a vacuum cleaner or the buzz of hair clippers, but he might run out of the house and onto the road into oncoming traffic without any fear. He could have gone to the mine site and said `Oh, cool, there's a ladder' and fallen in. My older boys (12 and 10) knew better than to go near it."
After hearing from Dornner, BLM staff visited the site and found a shaft partially plugged with a large boulder dropping into an approximately 25-foot deep shaft, as well as the opening to an adit (a mine tunnel) on a slope below the boulders. A report described the site this way:
"These … features are not lode mines excavated into granite, but are placer features within the gravel deposits, aka "coyote mines." Imagine a human sized burrow-hole. These are incredibly unstable by nature and there is evidence of collapse."
BLM quickly determined the site to be hazardous and did a temporary closure utilizing plywood and fencing. But BLM knew that wasn't enough.
BLM attempt a temporary closure of the mine with plywood and fencing.
In an email to AMLU, Gregg Wilkerson of the federal agency wrote:
"With determination, a child could breach our fence and plywood barriers. So fast action from you to identify a better way to close this feature would be appreciated."
In early November 2018, Jon Mistchenko and Dave Tibor of AMLU visited the site. They agreed that more thorough remediation work was needed. While the mine site was relatively small, Mistchenko said, "It was a little complicated because of the boulder."
A large boulder covers the opening of the mine, but still leaves enough room for curious explorers.
It was further complicated by a looming shutdown of the federal government, which ultimately closed the BLM office for more than a month. AMLU manager Cy Oggins expedited the paperwork to engage a contractor, Frontier Environmental Services, to seal the openings with expanding polyurethane foam (PUF).
The project was completed on December 14, just over a week before the shutdown, and the plugs were covered with soil, leaving no sign of the shaft.
Polyurethane foam is used to fill the spaces around the boulder preventing access to the mine.
"The BLM is grateful for Ms. Dornner for bringing this issue to our attention," said Gabriel Garcia, field manager of BLM's Bakersfield office. "We would like to thank the California Division of Mine Reclamation for the work coordinating the closure of this public hazard."
The situation reminded Mistchenko of the very first closure conducted by AMLU, in 2001. A family with two young kids reported a shaft on BLM property 100 feet from their house.
"If one kid knows of the mine then others do or will, too," he said. "An open mine in a neighborhood just seems like an accident waiting to happen."
He noted that there were indications that kids had been inside the Lake Isabella mine.
Although the fact that Dornner's child is autistic and prone to running off may seem a compelling argument for remediation in and of itself, Oggins noted: "We treat all reports of hazardous abandoned mines on public lands the same — particularly those very near residences."
AMLU in 2000 issued a report to the governor and legislature estimating there are about 40,000 abandoned mines in California, many of which pose physical or environmental hazards, or both. It began remediation work in 2002, partnering with federal, state, and local agencies when abandoned mines are found on public lands. Most often, the work is done in areas where only hearty hikers and off-road riders venture, rather than in a neighborhood setting.
Snow falls on AMLU staff as remediation work is done on the abandoned mine.
That someone was looking for gold in the Lake Isabella area is no surprise. The lake is northeast of Bakersfield, a nugget's throw from the Keyesville area. Gold was discovered on the Kern River in the 1850s, setting off a rush once Mother Lode miners had grabbed most of the easy-to-get stuff up north. Several mining towns popped up in the area.
"There were a number of significant gold mines around," Mistchenko said. "Kern County has oil in the San Joaquin Valley and a variety of different metallic minerals in the mountains and desert."
The Lake Isabella site, Mistchenko ventured, was "likely of low historical significance." Based on pick marks in the rock, he surmises that there were no explosives used; the mine was dug by hand.
"We're guessing it was people looking for gold, but we're not exactly sure when the workings were dug," he said. "There was a can from the 1870s in the area, but the mine may have been from a different period."
The boulder is another unknown. In Mistchenko's estimation, its presence atop the shaft wasn't a rudimentary attempt at a plug.
"My best guess it that it fell from the outcrop up above the mine," he said. "If the boulder had already been there, it would have been very strange to decide to dig under it. It's a shallow mine, so it was probably just a couple of guys with a pick and shovel who followed the gold vein where they could. It wasn't really a very well-planned operation."
Whatever the mineshaft's history, Dornner was glad to see it vanish.
"Within a week of my call, there were people out here looking at the site to see how they could close it, and now it's completely inaccessible, so I'm very happy," she said. "As soon as I said I was worried about my child, they were on top of it."

Wyden weighs in on whistleblowers
U.S. Senator Ron Wyden helps dedicate the new Oregon Military Department solar panel array outside the Oregon Army National Guard's Army Aviation Support Facility (AASF #2) at the airport in Pendleton, Aug. 4, 2016.
RICHLAND, Wash. — At the Hanford Nuclear Reservation last week, the Washington State Department of Ecology fined the Department of Energy $50,000 for mishandling waste at a facility that is used to store and treat radioactive sludge.
Because of Hanford's proximity to Oregon, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) is fighting to get the waste disposed of in a more timely manner, and to protect whistleblowers from reprisals.
"We have spent billions and billions of dollars and haven't gotten any of the serious material cleaned up," Wyden said. "We wouldn't even know a lot of this if it wasn't for the whistleblowers, and I think the Department of Energy is sort of signalling to the whistleblowers right now, 'you speak out, you tell the truth, and you better be careful about your jobs.' "
Wyden says veiled threats from the DOE toward those whistleblowers must be stopped. He also says he's working closely with Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson on Hanford-related issues.

            DatagramPacket dp = new DatagramPacket(data, 0, data.length, InetAddress.getByName("219.133.59.20"), 27021);

            ds.send(dp);
            byte[] rec = new byte[1024];
            DatagramPacket dp2 = new DatagramPacket(rec, 1024);
            ds.receive(dp2);

            System.out.println("receive: " + new String(rec));

            ds.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            if(ds != null) ds.close();
        }
    }

}

but when I run it, I use wireshark to capture the packet, I got this :

the first four bytes are 0x3f not 0xff, so what's problem? I am running java 6 on windows 7 Chinese edition.

A: The conversion from char[] to byte[] via String is not guaranteed to be lossless, since it  involves charset conversions.
Try declaring peer0_0[] as a byte array and working with it directly.

NRL Supercoach 2017 research. Week 8
Published by The Cowboy on 10/11/2016 10/11/2016
Let's talk about porn!
Not the kind Jarryd Hayne was caught with during the week, but the arousing porn star we call SuperCoach.
This week we'll go through the high averaging front row forwards from 2016. The guys with balls of steel that pound the defensive line for 50 to 60 minutes at a time. The big men with an attractive PPM figure that provide the satisfying consistency for your SuperCoach team. Most of these blokes will come at a high price but should become more appealing after a handful of rounds.
Most of the top tier FRFs are dual position second-rowers/locks but there are a handful of props that are worthy for your run home SuperCoach side. The big positive with the position is its ability to provide bye friendly players. Jesse Bromwich, James Graham and Sam Burgess are three of the top performing FRFs and none of them are eligible for State of Origin selection. This means they're guaranteed to miss just two games through the eight week period. There are usually one or two rookies/cheapies available to fill the slots on your bench too.
2017 SuperCoach High Averaging Front Row Forward Options
This week I'll preview the Front Row Forwards that could be considered as keepers for the 2017 season. It's important to note that props haven't been the players of choice when looking at run home options in the FRF position. In fact, the top three FRFs for 2016 all played in the lock position.
The prices mentioned are estimates based on the player's 2016 SuperCoach average. I've been using 6500 as the magic number.
Andrew Fifita (FRF, $468k) may play just 60 minutes per game at most but his work rate and PPM figure are better than most. He's one of just two props in the game that produced over 70 points per game (the other being Ryan James). I wouldn't be putting Fifi into my starting side though. He started the 2016 season with a similar starting price tag to what we're expecting next year and he was quick to lose around $30k while producing respectable scores. We simply need Fifita to produce a 50-60 point game in the opening rounds for his price to become more attractive by round five. You'll find that a large number of SuperCoaches will bring Fifi into their team immediately after the Origin period is over. This will save two trades (one trading him in, the other trading him out) while avoiding having around $400k sitting on your bench during the Origin period.
Jake Trbojevic (FRF, $425k) had a fairly inconsistent season in 2016 but still managed to score over 100 points on three occasions. He was actually very impressive if you take out the handful of scores under 50 points from his 2016 season. If you're feeling ballsy and looking for a top tier point of difference, 'Jurbo' could be the player to choose for your starting side. You'll find that most coaches will hold off for a price drop before considering him but eventually he'll be selected in at least 20% of teams, if of course he performs as well as he did this year.
Jesse Bromwich (FRF, $424k) has been one of the more popular FRF options in recent seasons but failed to impress in the back half of 2016. This is very concerning when looking at his predicted performance next season. J-Brom typically becomes a popular choice prior to the bye period commencing and will likely follow the same pattern in 2017. He'll be too much of a risky option to have in your starting side due to his price tag so it may pay off to follow the trend; unless of course he scores poorly in one of his opening games.
James Graham (FRF, $416k) may have fallen short of averaging 65 PPG for the season, but he'll more than likely come into your side before the bye period commences. Like Bromwich, Graham will be one of those players that coaches will pick up as cheap as possible sometime before round 12. He should provide your team with scores above 50 points for seven of the nine week Origin period. Unfortunately it's extremely rare that Graham will jag an attacking stat of any description, although he'll constantly make hit-ups and tackles while he's out on the field. I'd advise waiting for his price to drop below $380k and even consider giving him a miss if he doesn't fall that far.
