The first-ever Quadrant Asset Management Investment Conference was held on Oct. 2 at the University of Manitoba's James W. Burns Executive Education Centre in downtown Winnipeg. It will be a recurring event, happening at least once every two years, according to Murray Palay of Quadrant Asset Management, which has committed to five conferences in the next 10 years.
Even though the conference was their idea, Palay and business partner Michael Susser were taken aback by how quickly the idea was accepted and how speedily it has taken form – a year ahead of schedule.
Both graduates of the U of M, Palay and Susser wanted to support the Asper School of Business in its desire to hold a conference on behavioral finances.
Quadrant covers 60% of the cost, with the remaining amount covered by partners in the industry, Tetrem Capital Management and CI Investments. Michael Benarroch, dean of the Asper School, and Dr. Gady Jacoby, the Bryce Douglas Professor in Finance, were involved, and U of M assistant professor of finance Chi Liao organized the conference.
Behavioral economics, or finance, incorporates other factors, such as psychology and emotion, into conventional economic theory – which assumes that people always behave rationally, in a way that maximizes their wealth – in an effort to explain why people often make decisions, or behave in ways, that seem unpredictable or irrational. It does so not just to understand individual behaviors, but their effect on the market at large.
A major question the conference examined is whether or not people make decisions based on emotions as well as financial considerations.
Shefrin's 1999 book Beyond Greed and Fear: Understanding Behavioral Finance and the Psychology of Investing has become a standard text used around the world in behavioral finance courses, as well as being part of the CFA Institute curriculum source material, among others. As it happens, Shefrin is a former Winnipegger and a U of M graduate.
Other conference presenters included Amos Nedler of the University of Western Ontario, who spoke about The Bull of Wall Street: Experimental Analysis of Testosterone and Asset Trading; Rawley Haimer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland on YOLO: Mortality Beliefs and Household Finance Puzzles; Jawad Addoun of the University of Miami, who discussed Local Bankruptcy and Geographic Contagion in Loan Characteristics; and Vicki Bogan of Cornell University on the Importance of Mental Health and Retirement Savings: Confounding Issues with Compounding Interest. Capping off the conference were speakers Scott Hsu of the University of Arkansas, who spoke about Beauty is Wealth: CEO Appearance and Shareholder Value; and Lisa Kramer of the University of Toronto, who discussed Examining the Effect of Social Distance on Financial Decision Making.
"Martin Wayngarten, who heads our investment management group, could have listened to Dr. Shefrin all day," said Palay. "His explanation of the behavioral aspects, how sentiment and emotions factor in, and how they correlate or don't to rational investors, this is all stuff that we live and breathe.
Palay felt some of the other speakers' topics were a bit more esoteric, such as those discussing testosterone in traders, but still very interesting.
One major takeaway for Palay from the conference was a newfound understanding of the nature and depth academics go through to prove their theories through clinical studies.
In addition to what he learned at the conference, Palay was also glad to have had the opportunity to spend time with his son, who is a student in Liao's class, as the whole class came to the conference.
"I should mention, by the way, the bias I have in terms of how good Dr. Shefrin was," said Palay, noting that Shefrin is his wife's second cousin. Palay learned of this connection shortly before the conference, when sharing some information with his wife, Ivy Kopstein (of Winnipeg's Jewish Child and Family Service), about the then-upcoming conference and the keynote speaker. Kopstein said Palay must invite Shefrin home over for dinner.


Bill Aleshire is the same attorney in both filings. The suit argues the city "lacks discretion" to write its own ballot language and instead should use the language petitioners submitted.
Activists filed a petition last spring with more than 30,000 signatures asking the city to require residents to vote on every land-development code overhaul and to enact a waiting period between when a new code is approved by council and when it goes into effect. Supporters of the petition were against CodeNEXT, the city's rewrite of the land-use code.
In July, a judge ordered that the petition be placed on the ballot after council members voted to neither adopt it nor put it to a public vote. Weeks later, council members voted to scrap CodeNEXT, in a quest to find a less "poisoned" process, as Mayor Steve Adler put it.
To be clear: The petition on the ballot does not ask residents to vote on CodeNEXT, but whether all processes like it should be subject to public approval.
The city has until Sept. 4 to send final ballot language to the county.
A district judge has ordered the Austin City Council to put a petition on the November ballot that, if passed, would require land development code rewrites, such as CodeNEXT, to be approved by voters.

Phil Vickery was about to have his 90th birthday and his wife Anita wanted to have a surprise party to celebrate it. To do this she worked with Greg to have a not quite official Drive N Dine to get Phil out of the house so she and his children could set up and pull it off. To do this Greg invited a number of Phil's friends that are club members to have a "DnD" on a Sunday leaving from Greg & Donna's house. To fully pull this off he had Jim Shaver send "official" DnD notices to Phil only, to get him to go along on the drive. The announcements said that it was to be a "mystery destination" since it was a special Sunday drive. On what turned out to be a beautiful day the group of about 28 Corvettes and two or three metal cars met at Greg and Donna's for light snacks and refreshments, then headed north into Hamilton County. After clearing all of the roundabouts on Spring Mill Road, the group managed to stay together. At this point Phil was just one of the participants and not aware the drive 'n dine was pre-planned to pull him away from his home so Anita and Phil's family could set up the surprise 90th birthday party for him. Not until the group was heading east on Main Street toward his driveway did he catch on. Anita and the family had a catered meal, DJ, and more of Phil's friends all arranged in one of his equipment buildings. It was a wonderful gathering to celebrate his 90th birthday, which is one week later which made it even more of a surprise.
Since the whole club could not be invited this DnD is posted under the "I Was There in 2018" page.

The KHL is coming to Vienna
28 August 2018, 16:45 KHL World Games
VIENNA – world-class ice hockey is on its way to the Austrian capital. This October, Vienna will host the KHL World Games 2018. Two regular-season KHL match-ups in the city offer Viennese fans a unique chance to see some of the legends of the game, including several Winter Olympic champions and Stanley Cup winners and the Magic Man himself, Triple Gold Club member Pavel Datsyuk.
Two games, three clubs
The games in Vienna are scheduled for October 26 and 28, 2018. In the first clash, Slovan Bratislava will face CSKA Moscow; in second, Slovak team take on SKA St. Petersburg.
For Slovan, Vienna should be a home-from-home. Just 70 km separates Bratislava and Vienna, making them two of the closest capital cities in the world. For a long time, Vienna has been thirsting for top-level hockey action and now the KHL is bringing world-class players here.
Slovan is the KHL's oldest club and will celebrate its centenary in three years time. With eight Slovak championships (most recently in 2012) and on Czechoslovak title (1979), the Bratislava team is the second most successful in Slovakia's distinguised hockey history.
CSKA Moscow is a legendary Russian club. In its 71-year history, the Red Army team won more Soviet championships and Europeans Cups than any other team in history. Now returning to its old status as a hockey powerhouse, CSKA has reached two of the last three Gagarin Cup finals but has yet to win the KHL's top prize. For three consecutive seasons, from 2015-2017, CSKA was the regular season champion. This season's roster boasts eight Olympic champions from PyeongChang, including young star Kirill Kaprizov, whose sensational overtime game ended Russia's long wait for Olympic gold. Over the summer, the Army Men added two powerful imports to boost their forward line: Canada's Linden Vey, a bronze-medalist in Korea, was the KHL's fifth highest scorer last season, while Denmark's Jannik Hansen brings plenty of NHL experience.
SKA St. Petersburg, like CSKA, has its roots in the Red Army and was also founded in 1946. That year is regarded as the start of Soviet and Russian hockey. Unlike its Moscow rival, though, SKA never managed more than bronze medals in the Soviet championship but has emerged as a true power in the KHL era. The Petersburg team has two Gagarin Cups – 2015 and 2017 – and twice won the regular season championship in 2013 and 2018. In international play, SKA is one of the most successful clubs in the prestigious Spengler Cup exhibition tournament, winning the annual event four times in Switzerland. SKA also enjoyed victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in a KHL vs NHL exhibition game in October 2010.
SKA's roster includes nine Olympic champions and is led by Pavel Datsyuk, known as the Magic Man. Datsyuk, a Stanley Cup winner in Detroit before returning to Russia to win the Gagarin Cup with SKA, is one of the most popular players on both sides of the Atlantic. He's partnered by Nikita Gusev, one of the KHL's most consistent scorers in recent seasons. Summer signings include Nail Yakupov, who was the NHL's #1 draft pick in 2012.
KHL Vice-President Georgy Kobylyansky said:
"I am convinced that after 10 successful seasons, the Kontinental Hockey League is ready to showcase its world class hockey to discerning audiences all over the world. We are looking forward to coming closer to hockey lovers in Austria to show the best of this sport and inspire fans in other countries".
Two countries, one logo
At the event, the KHL unveiled a special logo for the World Games.
KHL Vice-President for marketing and communications Sergey Dobrokvalov mentioned during presentation:
"The logo was inspired by the name KHL World Games and the idea of bringing the KHL to the whole world. The whole device is enclosed within an inscription, like a world, that symbolizes the global character of the KHL World Games series.
The logo itself takes the form of a shield, with two separate fields symbolizing the competing teams, unified by the KHL's own logo. The fields take the colors of the flag of the host nation, and the flag itself is an immediate visual indicator of the venue of the games. The whole image stands on a puck, the integral symbol of the sport.
The original pattern continues the story of the KHL World Games logo and appears as a stylized map of the world with a geometric layout of dynamic lines. This is image is produced in light or dark colors, and can be printed in the colors of the flag of the host nation".

Erste Bank Arena is ready for the world stars
The Erste Bank Arena will host both of the World Games 2018. The arena is already known as the home venue for the Vienna Capitals, one of Austria's most famous hockey teams. The arena is part of a larger multisports complex, and the KHL games will be among the biggest events ever staged here. "The KHL games in Vienna show that the Erste Bank Arena is not only home to the Vienna Capitals but also a venue for many major events. In addition to ice hockey, the Erste Bank Arena also stages other big sporting events, such as Boxing nights, crucial international handball games and big off-air events like the "Super Bowl Party" of the Austrian private TV channel Puls4. We are very happy to welcome three teams from the prestigious KHL to our arena for the first time in history," said Franz Kalla, CEO of the Erste Bank Arena.
The arena can hold 7,000 spectators and the organizers hope to sell out for both games."It's clear to sense the anticipation among Austrian hockey fans as we wait for these two KHL games, so we're expecting big crowds. The Erste Bank Arena has 7,000 seats and it would be nice if we could fill them all!" added Franz Kalla.
Tickets go on sale in September
On September 3, 2018 the World Games organizers will start ticket sales for both October clashes. They can be purchased by fans online or directly at the stadium ticket office. The cheapest tickets will cost just 7 EUR for children. The most expensive VIP packages will cost up to 200 EUR.
Media accreditation will start in the middle of September; the contact person for the Slovak media is Jana Tuhá from House of Comms. For Austrian journalists, the contact person is Thomas Zach of the Vienna Capitals.

ClearChecks was built and designed for businesses that desire a safer, more informed work environment.
If you're an employer conducting background checks as part of the onboarding process, compliance should be top of mind. Regulatory compliance is a part of every industry, and ClearChecks makes that burden easier through our product and technology.
About the Fair Credit Reporting Act or the "FCRA"
As an employer, you should be aware of the law called the Fair Credit Reporting Act or commonly referred to as the "FCRA". The Fair Credit Reporting Act was enacted to promote the accuracy, fairness and privacy of consumer information contained in the files of consumer reporting agencies.
Employers also need to be mindful of how they use consumer reports for employment purposes. If you see something on the report that doesn't not meet your hiring standards, employers must provide a copy of the report and a description in writing of the rights of the consumer under FCRA before taking adverse action, such as not hiring or terminating the employee.
Sounds scary, right? ClearChecks has you covered. Within the ClearChecks dashboard, we have an automated "Pre-Adverse Event" process to keep you compliant.
To start a Pre-Adverse Event notice to an applicant, click the red button at the top of the report, and acknowledge the applicant does not meet the employment standard based on their consumer report.
We instantly send the consumer a copy of their report and a description of their rights, keeping you compliant and your applicant informed.
Under FCRA, you must provide the consumer with a meaningful opportunity to review the information and respond to any items they are contesting. ClearChecks has adopted the FTC's suggestion for the definition of "meaningful opportunity" for review and required dispute communication to be five business days.
If your applicant does not respond to our letter within 5 business days, an Adverse Event Letter will be issued and the report archived. Should the applicant dispute a record on the report, ClearChecks will review the information and communicate findings to both parties for final resolution within 15 days of disputed items from the consumer.
From start to finish, ClearChecks will automate notice, provide the required disclosures, reports and rights notifications, handle dispute resolutions and maintain electronic evidence of distribution, collection, and communication of all information from and between all parties.
Legal compliance is a challenge for any size businesses, but with ClearChecks we have automated the process to keep it simple keeping your company compliant.
If you have any further questions about compliance, reach out to our account management team, as they are experts in the Fair Credit Reporting Act and specific State and local laws regarding Consumer Reporting Agencies.

The Maverick Saints: Glory Glory
by Chris	on December 23, 2018 December 23, 2018
Despite all the chaos upon the earth today, I enter this festive season with a hope I have not felt in a long while. It re-appeared when I stopped shaking my fist at the world and started looking about me, at my friends, my family, my neighbors… at who I am and what I was put on this earth to do.
In this realignment I stumbled upon a fresh stream of creativity and, with a sense of child like enthusiasm, I have been waking each morning with a new idea for a song or, the solution to (one of many) unfinished songs of mine or, a fresh arrangement of a classic song; one that I had always wanted to sing and now could make it my own.
One of the joys of making music is in the collaborating with others, especially when any of these folk provoke me to sing, play and or write better than I have done before. For many months now Sandra Stephens and I have been writing songs and rethinking old ones, developing a sound that we can easily replicate, in the studio, on stage, just the two of us or, with a larger ensemble. This new sound isn't really anything one could call new or world changing… but the pleasure in making it… well… it just seems so new and fresh to us.
What began as a conversation, of our vastly different upbringings, the histories of our peoples, the contrasting musical and cultural influences, has now developed a most natural way of interpreting songs.
We call this new sound "The Maverick Saints". As you might have guessed, one of us is more maverick and the other, a tad more saintly… but we feel that this name suits us… and that it describes our music and, the path that many of us are on right now.
We have recorded a few live videos (for your pleasure) and, over this next season, we will be inviting other musicians and singers around the world to join us to enrich the sound of The Maverick Saints, to develop the larger story (of us all) and, to write and produce new music, podcasts, videos and, to take this 'new' sound on the road.
In the mean time, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
I hope that each of you can find a fresh stream of hope of your own.

The Sun Always Shines on T.V.: Oohlo's Bright Spots 2017, Part Two
by Oohlo Staff · January 3, 2018
Wherein we continue our picks for 2017's rays of light, peeking through the cloudy worldscape. Check out Part One here.
***Spoiler Warning*** Descriptions below the listed films and series may contain Spoilers***
Up until the summer release of Wonder Woman, DC/Warner Bros.' recent track record with its top properties was underwhelming, to say the least. Fans never really connected with Zack Snyder's vision of a comic superhero cinematic universe, which put all the more pressure on director Patty Jenkins and star Gal Gadot to deliver a movie the pleased both critics and audiences, AND to break the perception that female-fronted superhero movies are box-office poison. Wonder Woman connected with viewers across the spectrum ($800 million-plus worldwide box office) because the character that Jenkins and Gadot created is fully realized with power, intelligence, passion and the ability to kick ass in a way few superheroes (male or female) can. — Craig Wack
GLOW – Women are Done Being Polite
If there's one thing I'm looking forward to now that 2017 is over, it's going to be the studies on how the last twelve months became The Year of The Woman. We were everywhere, and we were seen and heard like never before. From the women who marched last January to the warrior Silence Breakers and, of course, to the many female characters who dominated film and television, GLOW may have turned off a few viewers with some of its darker jokes or its decidedly blunt approach to social commentary, but its fictional take on the real-life history of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling was a work of quiet genius. Seen mostly through the eyes of Ruth (Alison Brie, in an award-nominated performance), GLOW follows a band of misfit women as they find strength and friendship when they try out for an all-female wrestling TV show. Naturally, Brie shines, but one of the best things about GLOW is that it's really more of an ensemble piece, with almost every character getting the kind of involved development that's still fairly rare today. It's genuinely hard to pick a favourite character from the bunch: Betty Gilpin's Debbie is equal parts heartbreaking and laugh-out-loud hilarious; Sunita Mani is adorable and vulnerable as she grapples with the racially discomforting elements of her wrestling persona; Ellen Wong is delightful as the bubbly Jenny; and it's impossible not to fall in love with Gayle Rankin's unique Sheila. My personal breakout star has to be Britney Young as the shy but determined Carmen Wade. Daughter of a wrestling legend, she struggles with anxiety and panic attacks, but is the glowing heart and soul of the group.

The powerhouse that is a close group of women was on full display from the moment Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon secured the rights to Liane Moriarty's can't-put-it-down book about a circle of well-to-do friends with plenty of secrets. Adding in an irresistible cast — Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz and Alexander Skarsgård as the disarmingly terrifying abuser you'd never expect — took the HBO adaptation to binge-worthy heights, and Kidman's performance as a battered wife is one of her best. The joy in this particular assembly of actresses is that, even while tackling such heavy subjects, the multiple Emmy-winning series brought as much light and laughter as it did attention to domestic abuse and its domino effect. In the end, it was the strong friendships between both characters and players that connected with audiences, making Big Little Lies a beacon we couldn't resist. — Cindy Davis
Crisis on Earth X
Each time the CW's Arrowverse grows by a show, the demand for crossover episodes grows just as much. Previous attempts at mixing series either involved limited scope or served other purposes (the first big crossover was a backdoor pilot for Legends of Tomorrow), and the crossovers never lived up to the dreams of fans who have fond memories of grand annual crossover adventures in the pages of the comic books that now live in the bottoms of their closets. Without other entanglements weighing them down, the creative teams at Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash and DC's Legends of Tomorrow created a four-episode, two-night superhero fun-fest largely removed from the greater narrative arcs of the individual shows. It was an effort that finally delivered on the promise of what a crossover can (and should) be. — CW
Mr. Robot, Season 3
Sam Esmail never disappoints, but after the divisive second season of the universally adored Mr. Robot, he turned out a third round that, in my mind, might be the best TV of the year. Season Three was a game-changer, managing to both advance the subtle science-fiction themes of the show while still avoiding revealing what was really going on.
Delivering an unguessable twist in the midseason terrorist attack, Mr. Robot examined how far the characters were willing to go for their individual, personal causes and prompted astounding performances from the cast — particularly Portia Doubleday and Christian Slater. Special honours go to Episode 3.7, which sees Elliot take something like a dream-quest with Trenton's younger brother. Esmail managed to set theorists' minds whirring with his references to time travel and reality changing, but, most of all, he served up a side thread in what is, at its core, a study in grief, trauma and guilt. ––NM
Daisy Ridley's Rey in Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Regardless of which side of The Last Jedi fence you fall, there's one character we can all agree has lit up the screen from the moment we met her: Daisy Ridley's fantastically feisty, strong-willed and powerful heroine for the ages (no matter who her parents are), Rey. In the tradition of our dearest Leia, Rey's spirit is simply indomitable; she'll never take no for an answer and, no matter the obstacle or how powerful her enemies, Rey will fight to the end. Her training scenes in Episode VIII are nothing short of breathtaking; the fight with [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], spectacular; and it's obvious Ridley throws every part of her being into playing her part: she simply is Rey. For every generation and gender of Star Wars fans, the casting gods hit gold when they found Daisy. — CD
The Thor: Ragnarok Press Tour
This is not to say that we didn't enjoy Thor: Ragnarok; we loved it. It was our favorite Marvel movie of the year. However, when you throw Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeff Goldblum and director Taika Waititi (in a pineapple-print romper) all together and then add in jet lag and the occasional cocktail, you get magic. Everywhere we turned in October, there was the Ragnarok cast doing, saying or looking absolutely hilarious, and it made us want to see the movie they were promoting all the more. — CW
Blue Planet II – Protecting Our Oceans
Sir David Attenborough has always been the master of nature documentaries, but Blue Planet II took us to levels we had never before imagined. The devout naturalist and his film crews are so renowned for their dedication to capturing the best images of our living planet that, more than once, they've been credited with inventing entirely new techniques for the art, and are legendary for their ability to capture never-before-seen shots — and behaviours — of animals and wildlife. Season Two was equal parts startling, spectacular and, occasionally, a little creepy: there are fish who can use tools, other fish who can crawl on land, and octopuses — renowned tool users, as seen below — who have begun living in social groups. What this may mean for the already astonishingly intelligent creatures is yet to be seen.
Sir David is always out to educate and, while he was gentle in the past, Blue Planet II was the year he got real. Every episode spent time on the devastating impact humans are having on our oceans, but Attenborough wasn't all doom and gloom. He spoke of positive changes and the ways we can help prevent our oceans from being spoiled forever. To highlight just how important the series was, the UK environmental minister reported that he was "haunted" by an episode on plastic in our oceans and vowed to explore options for ocean cleanup. Additionally, the series was so popular in China that downloads of Blue Planet II actually slowed down the country's internet. —NM
Logan and Laura
As I mentioned when first I saw the trailer for Logan, I'd never been able to make it through an X-Men movie. But with Logan's tone, performances and the little dynamo that is Dafne Keen, all that changed. There's no getting 'round the fact that Hugh Jackman needs and deserves an Oscar nomination for his broken, aged Wolverine — sometimes it's hard to believe the actor exists under that make-up. Pained and grumbling, his grizzled geezer is going through the motions of caring for a feeble Charles Xavier (the always sublime Patrick Stewart), when little Laura comes into his life. Despite himself, he is possibly as shocked as we at the fairly feral girl who can take on a team of would-be captors all by her lonesome. As they road-trip to rescue a group of her mutant friends, Logan — reluctant but realizing his responsibility — practically falls apart as he tries to keep a motley family together, and it is the relationship between father and daughter that makes our hearts both fall and soar. — CD
Netflix unleashes so much content in a given year that, sometimes, gems get lost in the shuffle of new Master of None, Daredevil, Bojack Horseman or The Crown seasons to binge. The true crime series Mindhunter deserved more hoopla than it got, which made it 2017's secret success. The David Fincher-led series is based loosely on the real-life story of how modern criminal profiling came into being. Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany and Anna Torv turn in spectacular performances as the group who hunt down serial killers. With many more subjects to study and serial killers to discover, this series feels like it's going to be good for a long time. — CW
If you don't know who Martin McDonagh is, I suggest you do your best to remedy this as soon as possible. The mad genius behind two of the best dark comedies of the last decade — In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths — McDonagh is one of those directors whose capacity to generate awards talk with every new film can seem … honestly, incidental. The man just loves to tell amazing stories, and coaxes pure art out of every frame of every film he makes, seemingly by happenstance. Three Billboards follows Frances McDormand as Mildred Hayes, a grieving mother who has run entirely out of effs to give after her teenager daughter is brutally raped and killed. Hiring three billboards outside her hometown, including one directly over the spot where her daughter died, Mildred challenges the local sheriff's department on their lack of movement on the case. The sheriff (Woody Harrelson) and particularly the dim-bulb deputy (Sam Rockwell, in a performance that's finally generating Oscar talk for Hollywood's best actor to date) are angered by the attack on their office, but to say anything more about what follows would be too spoilery.
This is not a movie with massive twists and turns, but rather a darkly comedic observation on the impacts of such a horrific crime on everybody it touches. No one character is a perfect person — from the grieving, angry Mildred to her depressed son to the frustrated law enforcement officers — but in their flaws are their humanity. A must-watch to round out your year. —NM
Jon Bernthal in The Punisher
It may seem odd for such a horrific, violent (I seriously covered my eyes through the many gory scenes) show to be on a "Bright Spots" list, but, like Logan, The Punisher's darkness is overridden by powerful performances — in this case, Jon Bernthal's absolute best. Taking The Walking Dead's Shane next level — and then some — Bernthal reminds us of what brilliant range he has, and of how utterly uplifting the human spirit can be, against all (and I mean all) odds. This is the series the actor has always deserved, and we're so glad Netflix brought Frank Castle into its Marvel mix. Bonus: The odd, yet perfect, friendship with David/Micro, played to perfection by Girls' Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and also the interesting tension between Frank and Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) that we'd like to see parlayed into something much more. — CD
Fun night out at the movies last night. #TheLastJedi is rich, dark, shocking, funny and NON STOP. There's a deep-pull moment from the canon that will have the die-hards LOSING THEIR SHIT. (And Luke Skywalker is John Wick.) pic.twitter.com/rFq71MCzrJ
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) December 10, 2017
Patton Oswalt has long been one of our favorite comedians. From his stand-up to his bevy of guest appearances on some of our favorite series (hello, Agent Koenig), a show is always better when Oswalt is on the scene. After the unexpected death of his wife, Michelle McNamara, in early 2016, Oswalt didn't tweet as much or make as many guest spots, as he was processing his own grief and helping his young daughter through hers. However, in 2017, he followed up his Emmy-winning stand-up special with "Annihilation," which encompassed the turbulent post-Trump world and navigating life as a widower. Additionally, Oswalt found love and happiness again, marrying Meredith Salenger this past fall. We couldn't be happier for one of our favorite funnymen. — CW
Special Mention – Season Two of The Expanse
I've mentioned the science-fiction epic set to take over from Game of Thrones as the next big genre show twice before, but I'm including it in a shout-out on our Bright Spots list for two reasons: 1. Because the show is just that good and 2. Because, starting in February, when the show returns to SyFy, I will be reviewing the third season — and looking back on the first two in more detail. Tune in soon to learn more! —NM

Following days of confusion and resistance, two military aircrafts carrying the bodies of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 victims left Ukraine on Wednesday. The military transport planes are en route to the Netherlands, the homeland for a majority of the victims. These will be the first bodies of the MH17 passengers to arrive in their native country, bringing a sense of closure to the grieving families who await them.
In honor of the return of the bodies, the Dutch government declared Wednesday a national day of mourning. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has ordered government buildings to fly their flags at half-staff; Dutch buildings and complexes overseas were instructed to do the same.
Rutte, along with Dutch King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima and relatives of the victims, will meet the planes when they arrive at the air force base in Eindhoven. The Dutch government said a bugle will be sounded when the planes arrive in Eindhoven. A moment of silence will be observed nationwide for one minute. Church bells will also ring for five minutes.
The exact number of coffins on the planes have yet to be confirmed. According to BBC News, 40 coffins were loaded onto the two planes at Kharkiv Airport in the northeastern region of the Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported that the Dutch government expected about 60 coffins. A ceremony was held at the airport to send off the bodies.
Once the bodies arrive in Eindhoven, they will be taken to the Korporaal van Oudheusden barracks for identification. "Once a positive identification has been made, the immediate next step will be to inform the next of kin. No one else," Rutte said in a statement on Tuesday. "This may happen rapidly, but I have to caution you that it could also take weeks or even months."
The Dutch government has been ordered to lead the investigation of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, at the request of the Ukrainian government. Rutte said the investigation will be the country's next priority. "We will leave no stone unturned," he said.
The next step for the government is to find remaining victims and personal belongings, as well as ensuring direct access to the crash site, Rutte added.
An international, independent investigation of the disaster is essential in order to obtain a clear picture of the facts. I would like to reiterate that we must ensure that prematurely finger-pointing does not cause access to the disaster site to be restricted, thus reducing the chances of recovering the victims' remains, returning them to the Netherlands and carrying out an independent investigation. I understand that many people want us to be clear and to identify the guilty parties as quickly as possible, but I would point out the dilemma involved here.
Several U.S. officials briefed the media on Tuesday, saying MH17 was likely shot down by the pro-Russia separatists using an SA-11 antiaircraft missile, but the direct involvement of Russia is still unconfirmed. However, this hasn't reduced the simmering political tensions between Russia and the Western world, as intelligence officials continued to blame the Kremlin for "creating the conditions" for the strike and ensuing crash of MH17.

The following films are best reserved for your serious wine friends. ← Is this clear enough?
While the film aggressively pokes at major figures in the wine business, it is a detailed look at the inner-workings of the wine world.
Amarone: King of Valpolicella wine!
Amarone della Valpolicella is the most prestigious wine from the Valpolicella region in Veneto Italy. The reason Amarone is important these days is because it earned DOCG status in 2009; Italy's official top-tier wine classification. This richly flavored dry red wine is truly one of Italy's finest and age-worthy wines, but it's not the only wine produced in Valpolicella!
There are 5 levels of Valpolicella wine, including styles like Valpolicella Ripasso, which offer a better value than Amarone. Check out the Valpolicella Wine Pyramid below so you can find more great value wines from this fantastic Italian appellation. Or try these other Great Value Italian Wine Regions.
Valpolicella Ripasso A great alternative to Amarone!
Valpolicella Ripasso wines are some of Italy's best value wines. This style has its own DOC as of 2009, officially called Ripasso della Valpolicella, which means that it will become easier than ever to find. The secret to Ripasso's rich flavors are in the way it's produced.
After an Amarone wine is created, the leftover grape bits (aka pomace) are strained off and added to Valpolicella Classico. This enables the fermenting wine to have richer flavors and also produce a higher alcohol wine (a higher ABV adds more viscosity). Ripasso della Valpolicella can use the pomace of Recioto della Valpolicella, which is a dessert wine. As you can imagine this style of Ripasso is even more intense!
Tier 1: Valpolicella Classico The everyday wine.
Spring/Summer – Try serving slightly chilled.
Pizza, pasta, light meats, and veggies.
Tier 2: Valpolicella Superiore A great weekend treat.
DOC. Minimum 12% ABV and 1 year in wood. More concentration and darker color than Valpolicella Classico.
Burgers, roasted chicken, fresh cheese, charcuterie.
Tier 3: Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso One of Italy's best values!
DOC. One of Italy's best values! Great transition for Napa Cabernet lovers who want to explore Italian wine. Also called Ripasso della Valpolicella which, as of 2009, officially has its own DOC. Made by macerating Amarone pomace (grape skins & solids) with fresh Valpolicella Classico. Medium – full body. Rich, soft, complex yet accessible.
Steak, mushrooms, and dark umami flavors.
Tier 4: Amarone della Valpolicella Evening out on the town.
DOCG. Made with Valpolicella grapes that are dried for 4-5 months to lose water and concentrate sugars. Sugars have all fermented to dryness, but the "illusion of sweetness" remains. Minimum 2 years aging prior to release. Many producers wait as long as 5 years before release. Can cellar 10+ years, some more than 20 years. Minimum ABV 14%. Usually 15-16%. Full bodied, dried fruit, firm tannins, high acid.
Same as Amarone della Valpolicella but vineyard-designate. Many Amarone producers will have both an "Amarone Classico" and a single vineyard flagship wine.
Tier 5: Recioto della Valpolicella Special occasions and other rare treats.
halted before completion to leave residual sugar in the wine. Extremely concentrated, spectacularly complex. Rich dried fruit, lots of tannin and bright acidity. 12% ABV. Can cellar for 20-30 years under proper conditions.
Classic pairing for dark chocolate.
Aaron Epstein is a wine writer, curator, and consultant who has been studying wine since before he could legally drink it. His love of the grape was born at a young age and has since taken him around the world to work in almost every aspect of the wine industry.
Aaron's most recent move was from Brooklyn to sunny San Diego, where he now owns the consulting firm Uva Buena Fine Wines and manages the unprecedented wine subscription service Le Metro . On his blog Uva Buena he shares his adventures through the world of wine, and in his alter ego as The Winedad he explores the mysteries of fatherhood.
He and his lovely wife, Julia, are currently expecting the birth of their first child in September 2013. In the meantime, he is trying to learn how to surf.
What's Your Favorite Amarone wine? My favorite Amarone is one made by Guisseppe Quintarelli, whose passing in January of 2012 was a loss to wine lovers around the globe.

Why Private School

What Overseas Parents Need To Know
Updated September 05, 2017 | by Robert Kennedy
If you live outside the United States, choosing an American private school can be a confusing process. Here is an overview of the process.
If you live abroad and are thinking about sending your child to an American private school, you need to be aware of several things about American schools. If you are being transferred to the United States by your employer, your move will entail help with finding and paying for private schools for your school age children. Let's explore five characteristics of American private schools about which you need to know.
1. The U.S. has many private schools.
First of all, like everything else in the U.S., the sheer number of private K-12 schools in the United States is positively overwhelming. There are over 29,000 private schools. See Private Schools: A Brief Portrait for an overview of the private school scene. Private schools educate approximately 10% of K-12 students.
This video gives you an idea of why Cabrini High School in New Orleans, Louisiana is much loved by its students. Children attend American private schools by choice, not because they have to.
In North America "public" denotes a school which receives funding from a government entity. The federal, state and/or local authorities support our public schools with tax dollars. Generally, public schools are largely funded by property taxes at the local municipal level. Private schools, on the other hand, are generally supported almost exclusively by their own resources. These include tuition fees, fund-raising campaigns, and endowments. Private schools do not, as a rule, accept any form of state funding. To do so would jeopardize their independence. Another difference in nomenclature is the use of the word "college". College in North America generally denotes a tertiary or university level institution. In Britain and Commonwealth countries college often denotes a private high school.
2. Freedom of choice is a cherished feature of private education.
Secondly, freedom of choice is at the heart of American private education. Many private schools were founded by groups of parents who want their children to be educated according to certain religious or educational principles. Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Seventh Day Adventist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopalian, Roman Catholic, and Quaker schools are examples of some of the denominations which sponsor schools. Disciples of Maria Montessori and Rudolph Steiner have gone forth and multiplied. Montessori and Waldorf schools can be found in most communities.
Private schools further subdivide along residential or boarding and non-residential or day school lines. You will find boarding schools for grades 9-12 and junior boarding schools for grades 7-9. Watch students at Salisbury School, Salisbury, Connecticut tell what is special about their boarding school.
Day schools generally split into three broad categories: primary/elementary grades or PK-6; middle/junior grades or grades 6-9 and high school or grades 9-12 or 13. Grade 13 is what is known as a PG or post graduate year. Many schools offer Prekindergarten (PK) through grade 8 and then pass their graduates on to a high school which handles grades 9-12. These high schools in the private school jargon are known as prep schools or college preparatory schools.
3. A school for every need
All of these private schools come in a variety of flavors to suit your needs. There are boys' schools, girls' schools, military schools, choir schools, alternative schools, special needs schools, sports schools, schools for the arts and, fittingly, international schools. In short, if you can imagine a school, the American K-12 education industry probably has thought about it and is able to offer whatever kind of school you are looking for.
Within these various categories, you will find a wide range of educational philosophies and teaching styles. That's why it is very important for you to actually visit the school if at all possible. Make sure that the school's way of doing things and what it teaches mesh with your requirements and expectations.
4. Finding the right school for your child
By now you probably are wondering how you will ever identify schools which will work for your particular needs. Start by determining how long you will be in the United States. If you plan to be in the States for just a few years, an international or British school is probably the best choice for your teenage children. British schools offer preparation for the British school leaving examinations. Slightly less in number are the French and German schools. They tend to be found in major metropolitan areas which attract a substantial expat community. Attending an international school which follows the curriculum your home country uses will make the transition back home much easier for your children.
A Royal Visit was an occasion to remember at the British School of Boston.
Another possibility is to enroll your children at a school which offers the International Baccalaureate program. The IB is accepted universally and is held in very high regard. If you have young children, you will have no trouble finding a good school as the options are wide and varied with uniformly high standards. Montessori schools can be found just about everywhere in the U.S. although you need to make certain that the school you are checking out is actually a genuine Montessori school. Waldorf and Reggio Emilia schools round out the early education offerings available.
5. Seeking expert advice.
The key to finding the right school for your child is to hire an educational consultant. American private schools are not ranked objectively by any regulatory authority. What constitutes a good school is largely a product of your own personal expectations and requirements. For example, if your child has the potential to get into Harvard or Cambridge, you need to find a school with solid academics and a proven track record of placing its graduates in top tier universities. If your son has a learning disability, there will be a school with the experienced, highly-skilled faculty which can help him remediate that disability.
How do you determine which school meets your criteria? An educational consultant has the knowledge and experience you need to make sense of it all. This is the single most important recommendation I can make for any parent anywhere looking for a private school. Hire an educational consultant. It is money well spent.
What about last-minute transfers? Often employers will give you little notice of an impending move. Can you get your child into an American private school after the academic year has begun? It depends on many things. Typically private schools in areas which have a lot of comings and goings in the expatriate community will be more accommodating than those in areas where there are few expatriates. The other factor is whether or not the school has a place open. Students do withdraw during the academic year for all kinds of reasons. So it is just possible that there may be a place. This is yet another reason why you should engage an educational consultant. She will know what schools have places. If she doesn't know, she can find out that information very quickly.
Remember: finding the right school means a happy, successful child. Truly, nothing is more important than your child's happiness.

CityScape Battle Teaser Trailer is here… Early!
For once I actually delivered early. This weekend I found time to complete the CityScape Battle Teaser. It's basically several snippets of fly-thrus' from the first map plus a sneak peak of the game lobbies.
The video came out a little darker than I would have liked, but hopefully with this trailer you can get an idea of the visual style of CityScape. Keep in mind, this is just a teaser. Over the coming months we'll be releasing more gameplay oriented videos.
Also we hoping to enter private beta testing at the end of the month. For the private beta test we're going to most likely ask our forum members and newsletter subscribers. So if you want to get in on the private beta test, either join the forum or sign up for the newsletter.
Without further delay, here's the teaser. Enjoy!
This entry was posted on Sunday, August 6th, 2006 at 12:54 pm	and is filed under CityScape Battle Dev Diary. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
I love it! Seriously. If you have a Mac version I will buy it.
There will always be a Mac version for all our games, which are downloadable. Don't worry.
I've been waiting for this game for soooo long, I really hope I'd get the oppritunity to be able to test it. Great Work.
Where can I download it? Or when will it release, I haven't read any new information about it.
CityScape Battle has been put on the backburner while we finish up SocioTown.
Don't worry, we don't have any plans of canceling CityScape Battle. We're really looking forward to getting it out there.

Lift truck platforms provide more versatility for people who should reach elevated heights utilizing their forklift. These platforms would make it simpler for employees to work effectively and safely at high levels. Forklift platforms are an economical answer for companies in view of the fact that they are a lot more cost effective as opposed to acquiring specialized machinery. These platforms are even desirable for the reason that they could save plenty of storage space. To make the most of the advantage and full potential of this equipment, you will have to find the lift that best fits the work projects you have in mind.
Platforms which slip onto forklift forks are easy to install and lock into position. Slip-on style lift accessories have become more common since they are easy and quick to function. They provide an economical answer for businesses who do not require them regularly. These platforms have a railing system in position, tie offs and skid proof decking accessible. They still require the use of safety machines by staff but come with these specific features to be able to further the safety of individuals who will be utilizing them. Slip-on work platforms are an ideal choice for those projects which take place in difficult spaces or over top of an object.
This kind of table lift could be attached utilizing a pin after sliding the table onto the blades. The industrial lift stand offers extra protection with three rails and a safety screen covering the rear. For additional safety, it is a better idea to consider selecting a style that opens through the front railing instead of the side gate model.
Stock pickers could mount onto a lift truck with the same foundations as the other platforms although they are somewhat different. Stock pickers have a smaller base surrounded by railing on three sides and its security partition is situated on the front. This unit differs from the other platforms since the surface and the cage do not take up the whole fork surface area.
Combination platforms have proven to be very helpful whenever employees must work with supplies a height. This particular style of platform has a larger and smaller section. This design is essential so that workers can complete their job and not have to concern themselves about any supplies sliding onto them if the operator tilts or tips the objects.
There are many attachments existing which could connect to your platform that will improve its efficiency a lot more. For larger supply things such as piping, tall racks could be outfitted with guardrails. These racks keep materials like brooms, pipes as well as other items from falling off of the platform and hitting other staff. For extra efficiency, there are trays, tools and toolboxes designed to mount directly onto the side of the guardrails.


"In my opinion, God puts certain people in place at the right moment. And I see Matthew Dordal and the association and all the people that showed up that night as that," said Dordal.
On July 17, 68-year-old Vietnam veteran and motorcycle lover, Jerry Palmer, got the surprise of a lifetime.
"My husband tried to explain that they were coming for him and he didn't believe it until we saw... Jerry started crying. My husband was there and choking them back as well. We all felt the chill," said Joyce Tebault, Jerry's friend.
The people on the bikes felt it too.
"When you see the emotional connection Jerry had with motorcycles and hearing them roll up and us being fellow veterans. It was emotional for all of us," said Matthew Dordal, Chapter Commander of Combat Vets Association.

Adding second domain, file structure?
What should the files look like when I've added a second domain?
The first domain, DougvanderHoof.com, has been hosting a working website just fine.
Now I've gotten a second domain, StudioVisitVideo.com, fully hosted, and created a website and I'm not sure where it goes on the server.
Shouldn't the second domain be at some more root-like level? It shouldn't have dougvanderhoof.com/ before it, should it?
If you're kind enough to shed some light on this, please don't presume I know how to do what you're suggesting without a cookbook list of steps.
Like, "Just put the new domain in the root level." won't help me actually get it done.
Remember I can't see exactly what you have already done.
First step is go to manage domains in the panel. See if the domain is listed there.
If it is, then what 'user' is listed in the web host column? Is that the same user that you are using to log in via ftp?
dougvanderhoof.com and StudioVisitVideo.com have the same "user" listed on the panel's manage domains page then when you log into that "user" via ftp you should see two folders one called dougvanderhoof.com and the other StudioVisitVideo.com and you put the files for each of your sites into their respective folders.
Best practice is to create a new user and put it there. It seems that your current user is 'dougvanderhoof.com' which may make things confusing.
Actually, I'm not sure if you can use underscores in usernames, but I was trying to give the basic idea.
I agree that using separate users for each domain will keep things more orderly. Creating extra users doesn't cost anything, so the price is right, too.


Wild estimates have been circulating on what corn prices for the 2013/14 marketing year could end up being given everything in play, but it's wise to discount both high and low extremes.
To reach $7/bu., it would take a major weather event, such as a high pressure ridge settling over Iowa and Illinois in July and August, affecting pollination and filling. Although most soils in the heartland have been recharged, heavy rains have produced root systems that are generally shallow, so if weather is hot and dry during pollination, futures markets would respond quickly. However, Olson gives such a scenario low probabilities. For $3.50 corn, it would take yields higher than present forecasts, an extremely weak global economy and weak exports. A combination of factors certainly could create $3.50 corn, but it's even more improbable than $7 corn, Olson says.
He looks for world GDP, excluding the U.S., to grow at a 2.5% to 3% clip the next two years, which is slightly softer than the last three years at 3.5% to 4%. China will grow at 7.5% to 8.5%, which is lower than the 8% to 10% during the past three years, he predicts. Only modest growth is likely in the U.S. and possibly just 1% in Europe. This does not spell doomsday for global corn exports.
Most likely, Olson believes corn prices in the marketing year ahead will average $5.25 to $5.75 per bushel for the 2013 crop.
He's more optimistic than USDA, whose current price forecast is $4.40 to $5.20 (June WASDE). His reason why: USDA's yield forecast of 156.5 bushels per acre, and the 155 yield of many private forecasters, are too optimistic given early problems with the corn crop. Olson thinks a 150 to 152 bushel per acre yield is more realistic. "Even so, yields of 150 on 95 million acres will produce a lot of corn," he adds. Additionally, it might take several years for demand to come back, which can limit big upward price moves. In the meantime, he looks for 2014 corn acres to fall by as much as 5 million acres.
"How I see the next decade is several year periods of $4.50 to $5.50, but then shorter periods of production problems somewhere where prices could shoot back up to $7 to $7.50, then back down," he says. With low global stocks to use, he thinks volatility is here to stay.
Effectively managing udder health on dairy farms requires a good record keeping system and routine monitoring of somatic cell count (SCC) data.
Effectively managing udder health on dairy farms requires a good record keeping system and routine monitoring of somatic cell count (SCC) data. Michigan State University Extension dairy educators recognize the importance of using SCC data to determine the overall udder health status of dairy herds. SCC data for individual cows also help focus on those specific cows with udder infections.
Dairy Records Management Systems (DRMS) offers the Udder Health Monitor report (DHI-427) to summarize SCC data collected through DHIAs (Dairy Herd Information Associations). Data from individual cows are used to calculate the overall SCC average for the herd and to monitor udder health of subgroups of cows based on lactation number or stage of lactation. Newly infected cows or cows with chronic udder infections also are identified.
The Udder Health Monitor report contains various graphs, tables and lists to look at current SCC infection rates, current SCC averages by lactation and stage of lactation, changes in infection rates during the past 12 months, and infected cows. For several of the graphs and tables, dairy producers, dairy farm managers and herd consultants can see how their herds compare to the Top 20 percent Herds within their herd size category. The three herd size groups are: 1-199 cows, 200-999 cows, and 1,000+ cows.
The Current SCC Infection Rates graph and table provide the total number and percentage of infected cows for several subgroups of cows. Users can evaluate differences in infection rates based on lactation number (first, second, or third and greater). They also can determine if they are meeting their goals to minimize the number of new and chronic infections and the number of infected fresh cows.
Monitoring average SCC and infection rates by stage of lactation will help pinpoint the potential source of udder infections. For example, high SCC in fresh and early-lactation cows could be lowered by making management changes in the dry cow groups or maternity pens. The Current SCC by Stage of Lactation graph shows the percent of cows by SCC level for 3 stages of lactation: 5-29 days in milk (DIM), 30-220 DIM and 220+ DIM.
Graphs of monthly trends in infection rates will illustrate progress resulting from management changes to improve milk quality. Or the graphs may alert herd owners and managers when infection rates begin to trend upward. Trends in new and chronic infections as well as infections in fresh cows are graphed for the past 12 months.
University of Minnesota study looks at water usage for 16 major row crops.
Ever wonder how much crop you're getting per drop? A group of research scientists were, and they just published a study on their findings. Scientists with the University of Minnesota's Institute on the Environment (IonE), along with the Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation at the University of Bonn (Germany) conducted the study.
IonE postdoctoral research scholar Kate Brauman led the research team, which looked at crop production, water use and crop-water productivity across multiple climate zones for 16 different crops , including corn, soybean, wheat, potato and more. They found a wide range of variation in crop-water productivity in places that have similar climates, which could translate into water savings opportunities.
"For example, disease presence or nutrient availability can cause big yield changes even though water consumption is the same," Brauman says.
The implications for capitalizing on these "crop per drop" variances are substantial, Brauman adds. The researchers calculated that in drier regions, farmers could raise enough food to provide for an additional 110 million people without increasing water use or using additional cropland – simply by improving the very lowest performers to just the 20th percentile.
"Because crop production consumes more freshwater than any other human activity on the planet, the study has significant implications for addressing the twin challenges of water stress and food insecurity," Brauman says.


I'm always a bit sceptical when something is absolutely free. Nothing is ever really free. There's always a catch. When I came across the Clickfunnels Affiliate Bootcamp (Clickfunnels Affiliate Program), I had my guard up. I had discovered that the class was fantastic and have read some favorable stories in a couple of Affilaite classes on Facebook, but you always wonder.
But hey, It's absolutely free, so why not take a peek.
Why is the Clickfunnels Affiliate Bootcamp complimentary?
Simply put, if you're a much better affiliate, they then win because you'll drive more great leads to their products. When you make money, they earn money. And now Clickfunnels is the quickest growing, non VC backed software company on the planet, largely because of their community of affiliates so they have to be doing something right!
The course has gone through several changes since I signed up, and they have added quite a lot of new content providing a super thorough guide to affiliate marketing.
The idea is to make one new Clickfunnels member a day for 100 days. In theory, most people ought to have the ability to retire in 100 days when this may be gained.
In reality, it doesn't really work like that, but it's close. Primarily people sign up for a free 14 day trial. Based on where your trial readers come from, there may be a fantastic percentage which do not remain on after 14 days. You might have to find 2 or 3 trial signups to receive one which sticks around.
What exactly do they teach from the Clickfunnels Affiliate Bootcamp?
There is a huge amount of content that's trickle fed over 66 days. Plus it can be quite overwhelming. The majority of the content is in video format, and sometimes there can be a few hours of video for a single moment.
But it's great content. Alot of this is actually records from live events that were taken from other training products that Clickfunnels generally charge $1000-$2000 to access, so it really is worth taking some time to immerse yourself from the content.

Is there an explanation of the rails on the ocean floor with these great dimensions?
Hi farhad and welcome to the forum !
The seabed in GE is not a photographic image but a (often rough) computer model of mostly satellite data. This is supplemented by depth measurements by echo sounder or sonar.
What you are seeing are the traces of these sonar measurements by ships.
