review: Alex & eliza by Melissa de la Cruz
Their romance shaped a nation. The rest was history.
1777. Albany, New York.
As battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance, servants flutter about preparing for one of New York society's biggest events: the Schuylers' grand ball. Descended from two of the oldest and most distinguished bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of their fledgling country's founding families, and even prouder still of their three daughters—Angelica, with her razor-sharp wit; Peggy, with her dazzling looks; and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival that of both her sisters, though she'd rather be aiding the colonists' cause than dressing up for some silly ball.
Still, she can barely contain her excitement when she hears of the arrival of one Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish young colonel and General George Washington's right-hand man. Though Alex has arrived as the bearer of bad news for the Schuylers, he can't believe his luck—as an orphan, and a bastard one at that—to be in such esteemed company. And when Alex and Eliza meet that fateful night, so begins an epic love story that would forever change the course of American history. ~ Goodreads

Let me preface this review by saying I haven't seen Hamilton – the musical – or knew very much about the history of either Alexander Hamilton or Elizabeth Schuyler. I've noticed that a lot of readers who read this based on their love of Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit musical seem disappointed. Since the publisher is really pushing this one to fans of the musical, I think it's fair that readers have certain expectations. Since I have nothing to compare the book too – my opinion might not be yours.
I really enjoyed Alex & Eliza even though it's a slow moving and understated romance. Certainly not the "Their romance shaped a nation. The rest was history." sweeping romance I was expecting from the summary.
Honestly, it's your basic historical romance set up. The girls of the Schuyler family are coming to a certain age and need to get married. ASAP! because the Schuyler finances aren't that great and they need to get those girls paired off with rich men to save their reputation and property.
Of course, Eliza is going to be feisty and all – I will only marry for love!
Then she meets Alex and she is smitten with him despite the rumors of his rakish behavior and being the bearer of bad news against her father. Alex, in turn, loves Eliza's sharp mind and understated poise. Alex believes he's not of her social status and they keep getting separated by events and spend most of the book pining rather than wooing.
Despite all of this though – I kind of liked it - because of Eliza.
Eliza is a really delightful character. She wants to help the men in the war effort and really puts herself out there to do so, helping to vaccinate soldiers against small pox for example. She's not a wild trouble maker or anything but she stands up for her convictions which I loved about her.
Her sisters, Peggy and Angelica, were interesting as well. They each knew what they wanted for themselves even if it meant marrying for convenience or money. Women didn't have options back then but they both took control of the things that they could and did what was best for them.
Alexander, on the other hand, was pretty boring and wishy washy. I understand that, as an orphan with no family, he didn't feel he could ask for Eliza's hand but because of that, nothing much happens with him as a character. Meanwhile Eliza's leading a pretty bold and interesting life for a woman in those times. I honestly wish the book was just about her and her brushes with history during the Revolutionary War - which were rather extensive because of her family connections.
There's a bit of a forced conclusion that finally forces our pair together and I wasn't a fan. *Highlight for mild spoilers: Alex saves Eliza from a sexual assault.*
As far as historical accuracy goes…I did a little research after I finished and little was known about Alex & Eliza's romance so de la Cruz took some creative liberties to fill in those details but the historical references to the time, places, people and events seem accurate.
*Highlight for a real Alex/Eliza spoiler that ruins the whole"epic love story" thing lol - despite this being a love for the ages, Hamilton had a year long affair with Maria Reynolds, and was subsequently blackmailed by her husband, while Eliza was pregnant with their seventh child.*
Alex & Eliza wasn't quite the book I was expecting but I recommend it if you're looking for lighter historical fiction with a dash of real life history and romance but not overly heavy laden with substance. It's a cute story - just not an epic romance that shaped a nation kind of story. If you manage your expectations it's a fun read.
*The publisher tweeted the other day that Penguin has picked up Alex & Eliza's story for a book #2. I bet now that we have the set up already, the next book will be more exciting with them being together more.

Shaped a nation.... I guess their love made the US then
Karen April 26, 2017 at 3:36 PM
They didn't change a damn thing in this book lol
Now the next book might be better with that now that they are a couple.
Melissa (Books and Things) April 26, 2017 at 1:45 PM
Hm... yea, the infidelity would bother me as well, but this still sounds a bit interesting to me. I do know that I want to see the musical. :)
It doesn't happen HERE but I was looking them up just to learn more about their *epic* romance and yeah...not so epic lol
It's a cute story and I really liked it. it's just not a sweeping romance (more like a P&P, traditional HR) or dive into history other than some name dropping and events that both are on the periphery of.
Geybie's Book Blog April 26, 2017 at 9:53 PM
I have never read a book that the story is based on a history before. This story sounds very interesting. Not like the ones I'm used to. Awesome review, anyway. Thanks for sharing. I'll check this out. :)
Karen April 27, 2017 at 10:51 AM
I tend to stay away from that type of book but she did seem to get the details right but if you aren't a history buff - it's history light - so you won't be bored or bogged down.
Greg April 26, 2017 at 11:43 PM
Bummer that Alexander wasn't a bit more developed or interesting. And maybe a little over- marketing on this one eh? Ha ha but otherwise it sounds like Eliza is a great character and done well.
This definitely felt more like Eliza's story. For Alexander, it was more about feeling beneath her family because he was an orphan. That's not a bad thing but when you're talking about a man that "changed the course of history" he was a little dull, while she pushed forward and took control.
Nadene @Ttly Addicted 2 Reading April 27, 2017 at 7:26 AM
Eliza sounds like a strong heroine, which is one of the things I love to seen in the books I read. I am sorry to hear that it was not an epic love story as expected, but at least you still were able to get some enjoyment from it. Thanks for sharing.
I really liked her a lot. From what I read about her real life story it was much the same. She founded an orphanage and often helped out with the soldiers.
It was a cute romance but nowhere near the epic love story promised. Alex could barely summon the courage to talk to her half the time lol
Amber Elise April 27, 2017 at 10:19 AM
I know absolutely nothing about Hamilton, but I have seen scenes from random performances. From my basic assumption of the musical, I kind of thought that Eliza was the docile sister who just took what life gave her, I'm happy to see that I was wrong!
Going from the book - that was Peggy. Eliza was the most independent but even though both Angelica and Peggy toed the family line - I still felt they took control of their lives as well. They might have had limited choices but they controlled what they could of it.
Anna (herding cats-burning soup) April 30, 2017 at 9:33 PM
LOL yep that would ruin the love story bit. Goodness.
Like "YAY an amazing book about Hamilton's affairs with 3 other people!!"

TESS, NASA's planet-finding mission launches today!
Jetting off today around 6.32 EDT (11.32pm BST) for its new home in a high-Earth orbit (HEO) is TESS, the first-ever spaceborne all-sky transit survey whose primary mission is to search for planets outside of our Solar System.
TESS, which stands for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, will search for its targets by monitoring more than 200,000 stars for temporary drops in brightness caused by planetary transits. The survey is hoping to uncover thousands of exoplanets from gas giants to small rocky worlds orbiting a diverse range of stellar types and covering a wide span of orbital periods – some in the habitable zones of their host stars.
The mission is expected to last two years, but the follow-on investigation work could take decades, as the most favourable targets that TESS finds will be scrutinised further to look at their masses, sizes, densities, and atmospheric properties.
TESS's design is based on Orbital ATK's LEOStar-2 platform - the 31st of its type that Orbital has delivered to NASA for their science missions. As TESS's job is to look but not touch anything, its payload is made up of four identical wide field-of-view CCD cameras that are all mounted on a single plate.
To get the most from its mission, the observatory will be placed in a very eccentric, inclined orbit around the Earth known as a P/2 orbit. It is a never-before-used lunar-resonant orbit and it has been chosen to give the spacecraft a mostly unobstructed view of the cosmos, while helping to keep radiation impact to a minimum.
To boldly go where no observatory has gone before (in orbit), TESS will be hitching a lift on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and so far, the run up to the launch has been textbook. Providing the weather cooperates, it should be all systems go. "We finished our launch readiness review (yesterday morning) and here we are. The spacecraft and the launch vehicle are ready to go," said Omar Baez, launch director for NASA's Launch Services Program at a prelaunch news conference last night from NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
With a tight 30 second window in which to get the mission off the ground, all being well, it then takes around 44 minutes after take-off for TESS to separate from the launch vehicle. A series of procedures will then follow in order to get TESS on its way.
"First light of the instruments will be about 8 days after (TESS) has launched and we'll do a series of propulsive manoeuvres and fly by of the Moon, which will be a tremendously exciting day," said Robert Lockwood, TESS spacecraft program manager with Orbital ATK at the news conference. Eventually TESS will get into its designated orbit around 12 June, he added.
TESS builds on the success of similar missions such as Kepler, but whereas Kepler was limited to a field of view that covered 115 square degrees, or around 0.25 percent of the sky, TESS will look at the whole sky all at once. To compare, it would take around 400 Kepler-like telescopes all looking at a different patch of sky, all at the same time, to do the same job.
Despite Kepler's sky coverage looking rather paltry in respect to this latest generation planet finding mission, it is because of Kepler that we now know that about one sixth of all stars have earth-sized planets around them, and that about one fifth of sun-like stars have planets in their habitable zone.
And, if Kepler can find over a thousand exoplanets staring at one small patch of sky, just imagine what TESS will be able to do.


Barbara Walters Has Big Plans For Her Retirement — Mainly to Sleep In!
It's only been two weeks since Barbara Walters retired from The View, but the 84-year-old continues to be a constant fixture at industry events, making us question whether she actually has retirement plans that don't include benefits and dinners!
"It's been one day!" Barbara joked to Closer when asked about her freed-up schedule. "Do you think the whole world changed because I'm not doing The View for one day? I don't think so."
But despite what it may look like, the legendary journalist does have plans to travel once things die down.
"Oh, I'm going to climb a mountain, I'm going to fly a plane, I'm going to swim the ocean," Barbara excitedly told Closer at the Sesame Workshop's 12th Annual Benefit Gala. But most importantly? "I'm going to sleep late!"
In addition to her many post-retirement appearances, the pioneer recently donated her archives (including papers, recordings and photographs from her career) to Sarah Lawrence College, her alma mater.
She credits the school for making her the renowned interviewer she is today, calling it a "college where I was not afraid to ask questions."

Q: Ckeditor uploadimage 404 error / plugin setup I'm trying to add the adding of images into with the editor, with drag 'n drop.
I wanted to update CK editor anyway, so after some reading I created a new CKeditor download via the package building, including the plugin uploadimage -
http://ckeditor.com/addon/uploadimage
When I try to drag 'n drop an image in it, I'll see a green bar saying upload succesful and for less then a second I see the image in the editor.
Then a red bar is showing. saying:
'HTTP error occurred during file upload (404: File not found).'
I have this in the ckeditor config.js:
config.uploadUrl = '/upload/';

As I assumed this was the path were the images are uploaded. The folder is created and for testing I have set its permissions to 777.
As this is not working I assume I did something wrong here, or that I'm missing something in the configuration. But via the documentation I don't see what it might be.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
On a side note, I do not need/want a file browser. A little context -> this editor will be used by logged in users. I do not want one user be able to see images from the other and the input text in only used once, so no need to find earlier images as for this particular use the user will only use this editor once for setup. This is why I tought the uploadimage plugin would fit best for my needs.
Kind regards,
Martijn

A: Based on the documentation of ckeditor:

The uploadUrl setting contains the location of a script that handles file uploads of pasted and dragged images

This is not the folder in your server that you want to upload the files to. This should be the script that handles the submit of the file that should be uploaded, and this script is the one who handle the saving of the file in the relevant folder on the server.

This plugin only covers the client side (what happen in the browser) and not the server side (which you need to implement by yourself).

Elektro-dieseltraktion (også kendt som "dual-mode" traktion), hvor toget drives enten ved elektricitet som eltraktion, hvor jernbanen er elektrificeret eller eller som dieseltraktion ved dieselgeneratorer, hvor jernbanen ikke er elektrificeret.

(Elektro-dieseltraktion bør ikke forveksles med dieselelektrisk traktion, hvor den eneste kraftkilde er en eller flere dieselmotorer.)

Elektro-dieseltraktion er udviklet til drift i områder som kun er delvist elektrificeret og hvor dieseldrift ikke er ønskværdig på delstrækninger, f.eks. i byområder.

Eksempler på elektro-diesellokomotiver/-togsæt er:

Frankrig:

Muslims in Toronto wonder what needs to change as Canadian poll calls for assimilation
Canadian Ahmadiyya Muslims at an event celebrating a visit from their spiritual leader say they're not worried about a new poll suggesting a majority of people in this country think immigrants need to do more to fit in.
Ahmadiyya Muslims at event to welcome spiritual leader say they're working hard to fit in
John Rieti · CBC News · Posted: Oct 04, 2016 6:30 AM ET | Last Updated: October 4, 2016

Canadian Ahmadiyya Muslims at an event celebrating their spiritual leader say they're not worried about a new poll suggesting most people in this country think immigrants should do more to fit in.
Thousands of members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community composed largely of immigrants lined the streets outside a mosque in Maple, Ont. on Monday night to wave, cheer and pray as their caliph, Mirza Masroor Ahmad, arrived.
Canadians want minorities to do more to 'fit in': CBC-Angus Reid Institute poll
Thousands gather to mark return of Ahmadiyya Muslim leader to Canada
The caliph is the Ahmadiyya group's spiritual leader — similar to the pope but on a far smaller scale — and those who caught a glimpse of the leader outside the Baitul Islam Mosque said seeing him was a powerful and joyous moment. There are about 20 million Ahmadiyya Muslims worldwide.
"It's almost like being recharged, rejuvenated," said Hena Malik, a Muslim mother.
'I think as mothers we play the most important role in families,' Muslim mom Hena Malik told CBC News. (John Rieti/CBC)
That rejuvenation comes at a welcome time. This week, CBC News and the Angus Reid Institute released a poll showing that 68 per cent of Canadian respondents believe immigrants should be doing more to fit in, as opposed to keeping their own customs and languages.
The pollsters behind the research suggest the results show a hardening of public attitudes toward newcomers, something possibly driven by the fierce anti-immigration stances of U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump as well as several other political leaders.
But Malik said she believes the poll isn't a dark omen, but instead a "ray of light." She said she believes it's a Canadian way of asking: "How can we talk to each other more?"
"When you don't know your neighbour, you don't know what they're about. I don't think that 68 per cent is saying 'I know what you're about and I don't like you.' It's saying 'I want to know more about you,' " she said.
Image issues persist
Lal Khan Malik, the president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at Canada, said his group is working hard to build connections in communities across the country. (John Rieti/CBC)
Lal Khan Malik, the president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at Canada (Jama'at loosely translates to community), said his group is doing its best to make connections in the community.
He said the Caliph provides guidance when it comes to fitting in.
"Number one, when you move to a new country, loyalty of that country is now part of your faith. Love of that country is now part of your faith," he said.
Malik, however, realizes some have negative impressions of his faith, particularly surrounding the treatment of women. Thousands of women attended the event but men and women were separated as the Caliph led the afternoon prayer.
Malik insists that tradition of separation isn't discrimination and said Ahmadiyya Muslim women have the same status as men, though he realizes the fact that men occupy the mosque area while women pray a soccer field distance away is problematic for some.
Hena Malik said she, for one, prefers to pray while surrounded by women.
"Muslim women who wear the hijab are in no way lesser than men," she said.
'What else can we do?'
Jawad Malik, centre, said he sees initiatives like inviting Canadians to meet with Muslim families are positive 'baby steps' toward creating understanding. Malik is flanked by his cousin, Takreem Cheema, on the left and his brother, Hammad Malik, on the right. (John Rieti/CBC)
Jawad Malik, a recent McMaster University psychology graduate who came from Hamilton to see the Caliph, said there's a generational story at play here as well.
Malik said it may have been harder for older generations to assimilate due to language issues, but now younger Muslims are working hard to bridge cultural gaps.
Part of that is clearly visible. On the grounds of the mosque, many older men wore traditional hats and robes, while their children wore baseball hats, featuring logos advertising such sports figures as the Toronto Blue Jays or the Michael Jordan jumpman.
Malik said he's not worried by the poll results, but said it does leave him wondering how people want his community to change.
"But what else can we do? I think we need to go into greater detail about that," he said.
Zeeshan Waseem, an immigrant from Pakistan and the father of a two-year-old girl, said he hasn't felt any pressure from Canadians when it comes to fitting in. Everyone has been friendly, he said.
When it comes to change, "maybe they need to clarify what they want."
Canada a sanctuary for community
Caliph Mirza Masroor Ahmad makes his way to the mosque to deliver afternoon prayers. (John Rieti/CBC)
Ahmadi Muslims are, it should be noted, especially motivated to fit in to Canadian society.
Members of the faith have been persecuted in places like Pakistan, Bangladesh and even in the U.K., where a Scottish shopkeeper was murdered by another Muslim man earlier this year in what a court heard was a sectarian attack.
In Canada, however, the group enjoys religious freedom.
"We've seen nothing but good here," said Ata Haee, one of a number of young men helping journalists navigate through the whirl of festivities.
"We want to be a part of this country."
The online survey was conducted in early September from a sample of 3,904 Canadians. The results have a 2.5 per cent margin of error 19 times out of 20.
The caliph last visited Toronto in 2012. He's expected to remain in the city for several days.

Across North America, baby boomers have been known as both money makers and spenders. And more of them are now "making or spending" by selling or buying a business.
- 65% of their new sellers and 41% of their buyers were baby boomers.
The baby boomer generation covers quite an age range. Born between 1946 and 1064, the oldest are now 68 and the youngest, 50.
In the market for buying or selling a business, the older boomers are selling and the younger boomers are buying.
It's a trend that I see repeated across our offices. Most buyers I'm dealing with right now are in their early 50s to age 55. This represents some 40 to 50% of buyers. None of them are past 60. The others are mostly in their 30s and 40s.That's why we say baby boomers rule the market for buying or selling a business!
There is one area where we deviate from the Market Pulse numbers: some 85% to 90% of the individuals who contact us have never owned a business. That percentage is almost double the 47% that Market Pulse reports as first-time buyers. How do I explain that?
Most respondents to the Market Pulse survey operate in the U.S. and some aspects of their market are different than ours. An example: they refer to "main street businesses" while we talk about "small businesses." Whatever we call it, both terms represent the same market—businesses that are valued from $0 up to $2 million.
And that market is heating up in Canada as well as the U.S. All of our offices report more buyer engagements.
Are you a younger baby boomer considering the purchase of a business as a second career? Check out our post: Tips for Baby Boom Buyers.
And if you're an older baby boomer thinking of selling within the next few years, get our top 10 ten tips to sell your business and not leave money on the table.

Earth Is Not My Home is the true story of astrologer, Janice A. Stork. When circumstances in her life forced her to ask some of life's biggest questions, an amazing epiphany happens. Opening portals to worlds she never dreamed exist, Stork's pilgrimage towards lasting truths helps the reader to meet her Spirit Guide, Akar, and gain insights into their own lives. When major battles have to be fought, such as breast cancer and the death of her son, animal totems and other unexpected friends appear, offering support from other realms.
This candid book will at times shock traditional belief systems by confronting highly controversial subjects, such as astrology, reincarnation, karma, religion, UFOs, and extraterrestrials, yet when readers look at the world in a new way, they will find themselves also asking, "Where do we really come from? Have we lived before? And where is home … really?" The key to these questions are there, woven in the "tapestry" of our lives. Only when we look back, as outsiders looking in on our own lives, do we get to see how seemingly mundane incidents were actually monumentally life-changing.
Author of Footprints of the Capitol Astrologer and legislative aide for 32 years, Janice Stork played a pivotal role in the legalization of astrology in California by having legislation introduced former Governor Ronald Reagan signed into law. She is a newspaper columnist, frequent radio show guest, and private practice astrologer.

An ALPHA announcement for Open Source IntERPrise has been launched by a team of international IBM i community developers. IntERPrise is a Native, data centric, multi-tier, ILE and DB2 database.
Leaders the project are Marinus van Sandwyk, TEMBO Technology Lab (Pty) Ltd, South Africa and Chris Hird, Shield Advanced Solutions Ltd, Canada.
Says Hird, "We have seen several Open Source projects getting underway, mostly PASE based, and very few for the ILE environment.
From the beginning, we decided to create a formal architecture with set conventions and clear directives.
As the Alpha announcement takes place, the team is seeking members to join the seven-person Steering Committee. Members of the IBM i community are also encouraged to participate to help the group understand real-world environment needs.
Who might be interested in this project? It is clear from the recent Help Systems survey results that more that 70% of respondents have custom or bespoke solutions build around a core solution. Most of the architectural and coding standards that were adopted to achieve this were established in the 1980s and 1990s. Overall it is usually the financials that frustrates the 'bean counters", due to their need for fancy executive dashboards, and the ease of querying the database. The IntERPrise database, with its fresh approach clean code, will remove these impediments, whilst providing a native platform for cognitive computing.
The objective is for a full working model to be ready and available at the Spring Common 2019.
Connect with Hird or Van Sandwyk to participate with development, held define project needs, or request a demo.


Freelance Confidence is aimed at freelancers who want to get more clients, market themselves more confidently, or take their freelancing further.
Freelance Confidence is an online course aimed at both new and established freelancers who want to make more money and take their freelancing further.
The modules cover, step by step, how to grow your freelancing business, whether you're just starting out and finding your first clients, or whether you've been freelancing for months or even years already.
If you've taken my Start Freelancing course, you'll find that Freelance Confidence follows on from that (with a bit of recapping in the first week to make sure everyone's up to speed).
Freelance Confidence costs just $60 for the full six week course, plus four bonus weeks of support after the course ends. You can either pay the full $60 upfront, or you can pay $10/week for six weeks.
Note: Registration closes at the end of Friday 29th March, so that everyone can start the course together on Monday 1st April.
It has been a rewarding experience for me, though challenging, as it's all so new to me. The feedback has really helped me personally. As far as course content – it's brilliant what ever stage people are at and it's good to be accountable as it keeps us working.
You are always there for support, even by email and you have been a great help to me personally – especially when I was pulling my hair out over WP etc … you Ali Luke are a special person!
This was a really valuable (and extremely timely) course for me. It gave me the push to finish setting up my freelance business, as well as guiding me through the setup in a way that wasn't overwhelming (I get overwhelmed pretty easily) and provided key info I really needed, especially the tax and payment information. These were my major roadblocks to opening for booking, and as soon as I (finally) set my prices, I'll be completely ready to open for business.
I also appreciated how friendly the group was, how responsive Ali was to messages, and how low pressure this was while still being everything I needed.
Occasionally, I'll include screenshots or images (e.g. when annotating an email pitch to an editor, to show you how it's put together).
Each course has a Facebook group where you can meet other members of the course — and where you can ask any questions you want.
After the course is over, I'll be around in the Facebook group to support you for the next four weeks. After that, you're still welcome to use the group to stay in touch with fellow members of the course. Of course, you can leave the group at any time and still have full access to the course itself.
Each week, we have a "check in" topic on Facebook: all members are encouraged to post here once they've completed that week's module. The deadline is the end of the Sunday (e.g. if a module comes out on Monday 8th October, the deadline for checking in is 11:59pm on Sunday 14th October).
I've been freelancing since the start of 2008. In the eleven years since then, I've used freelancing to support myself at different stages of my career and life: I freelanced around a full-time job in the first half of 2008; I freelanced part-time while studying for my MA in Creative & Life Writing from Sept 2008 – Sept 2010; I freelanced full time for a couple of years … and now I fit freelancing around my family (my daughter was born in March 2013 and my son in December 2014). After cutting back on freelancing for a few years, I've taken on quite a few new gigs since late 2018, as my son is now in nursery school for most of the week!
Whatever your own circumstances, and whatever you want to get out of freelancing, I'd be delighted to be part of your journey. I hope Freelance Confidence will let you go further with your freelancing, whether that means making it a full time career or simply a well-paying side gig. I'll be here to help you every step of the way.
You can either pay the full $60 immediately, or you can pay $10/week for six weeks: it's up to you.
You'll receive your Welcome pack straight away, so you can join the Freelance Confidence Facebook group and start getting to know fellow members who'll be taking the course alongside you.
Just click the "Join Now" button above and you'll see the option to pay either as a single instalment of $60, or as weekly instalments of $10 (for six weeks; the four bonus support weeks are free).
Whichever option you choose, should see the option to pay with a credit/debit card, which you can use if you don't have a PayPal account. (I never see your credit/debit card information or any other details; PayPal just sends me the money!) If you're having problems or need a different way to pay, please drop me an email (ali@aliventures.com) so we can work something out.

Reception
SQE Music released "Diana," the first track from the album, on 11 December 2013, about which Filter Magazine commented "The verses showcase her airy vocals before they harmonize with layers of synths, beats and strings that, together, evoke an ethereal, dreamy sound."

Jacqueline Caruso, writing for The Deli, said that "Diana" "has all the sweetness, euphoria, and mystery of paragliding across a rainbow."

The MTD Kingston Super is the perfect combination of beauty and brawn. The stunning carved body and premium finishes perfectly support an incredibly powerful electronics package. How powerful, you ask? Well, in addition to a 3-band active preamp, Michael Tobias included a three-way mini-switch for each MM-style pickup. In the down position the pickups are in hum-cancelling series mode, which gives a big, bold, punchy sound. In the middle position the pickups are in single coil mode, making them sound bright and twangy. In the up position the pickups are in hum-cancelling parallel mode and they sound bright and sweet, with a slightly lower output than series mode. When both pickups are in single coil mode they are hum-cancelling when the blend pot is centered.

The Politics of a Snow Day
By Anthony Rebora on February 8, 2010 1:55 PM
The Washington Teachers Union is claiming some of the credit for the closing of District of Columbia schools today, according to a local news blog.
A record-breaking winter storm this weekend has shuttered school systems throughout the Washington, D.C., area today. But the decision on DCPS schools--which, under chancellorship of Michelle Rhee, has been very conservative in dolling out snow days--was quite drawn-out. Initially, yesterday afternoon, the district boldly announced that its schools would in fact be open on a 2-hour delay, puzzling many parents who looked around and saw limited transportation options. A few hours later, however, after even the federal government declared its offices would be closed, the district's officials gave in and announced that, well, schools wouldn't be open, after all.
Why the sudden change? In an e-mail to members, WTU president George Parker suggests that they had a lot to do with it: "Your calls to the office of the Mayor and Chancellor expressing your disagreement and outrage has [sic] resulted in success!"
Possibly. And certainly there were many very good reasons to close the city's schools today. But it makes you wonder: Do teachers really want to be sending the message that closing schools is a "success" to be celebrated?
(Full disclosure: The author of this post is a (snowbound) DCPS parent.)

From outer space to paradise? : Remapping Hawai'i in "Lilo and Stitch"
Ever since the European discovery of the Hawaiian Islands by Captain James Cook in 1778, this island state has been shamelessly exploited economically and reimagined for a wide, mainly white, audience in the media. The island state continues to occupy a unique place in public consciousness, evoking escapist fantasies of dazzling long, sandy beaches, spectacular sunsets, swaying palm trees, and beautiful hula dancers as well as skilled surfers enjoying perfect waves. Numerous novels, TV series, and movies have helped to foster this positive image, at the same time suppressing the dark side of colonial Hawaiian history in favor of a more convenient paradise image. Especially the American movie industry with films such as "Waikiki Wedding" (1937), "Blue Hawaii" (1961), "Paradise Hawaiian Style" (1966) or more recently "50 First Dates" (2004) and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (2008) has helped to create Hawai'i as a "fantasy-scape" for a larger audience. The majority of movies set on the island state imagine this place as a tropic paradise resort, mainly for wealthy white Americans, thus almost completely erasing the native population from the screen.
Disney's animated movie "Lilo and Stitch" (2002) can be read along the lines of those preceding movies representing the islands solely as an ideal holiday destination and multicultural paradise as well. Thus, it seems not surprising that in 2002 Disney signed a $3.9 million marketing contract with the Hawaiian Visitors and Conventions Bureau (HVCB), which markets the islands under the control of the Hawai'i Tourism Authority, to promote Hawai'i as a family destination. However, on closer scrutiny, the movie indeed depicts trouble in paradise as it does not only depict Hawai'i as a heterotopic space where intergalactic immigration is possible but – on a more subtle level – criticizes American colonial practices and the forced annexation of the former independent kingdom, thereby rendering the island state still a highly contested space.
In 2013 Disney released its 53rd animated movie "Frozen". (Very) loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen", it tells the story of two sisters, one of which, Elsa, has the power to manipulate ice. Instead of making her the real villain of the film, Disney opted for a misunderstood and suppressed young woman, who flees her castle, which she deems a prison, when her subjects find out about her powers. Her younger sister Anna vows to bring her back and to show everyone that her "sister's not a monster. [i]t was an accident. [...] So [Anna] needs to go after her." "Frozen" is the story of the re-bonding of two sisters and Elsa even saves her kid sister eventually by showing Anna that she truly loves her and not some prince. According to Stephen Holden, it is supposed to be a story that "shakes up the hyper-romantic "princess" formula that has stood Disney in good stead for decades and that has grown stale." Holden's review reverberates a general agreement that "Frozen" is finally a movie that can be truly enjoyed by both sexes and that does not promote the idea that love triumphs over anything else.
Boxes within boxes and a useless map : spatial (and temporal) phenomena in the "Kingkiller Chronicles"
At first glance, "The Name of the Wind" and "The Wise Man's Fear", volumes I and II of Patrick Rothfuss' as yet incomplete trilogy "Kingkiller Chronicles", appear to fulfill many conventions of heroic fantasy. The books are set in a world called the Four Corners (of civilization), consisting mostly of feudal states, a mostly rural and agrarian landscape. This world has a distinct but slightly vague "old-timey" atmosphere – there is little technology, transport is mainly by horse-power, there seem to be no fire-arms and no media. However, a form of postal service exists, science and medicine are taught at university and women have access to university education, so it is hard to place this fictional universe within a "real-life" historical epoch.

Ian Edward Novotny October 25, 1973 – January 5, 2019 On January 5th, 2019 we said our final goodbyes to our beloved son, Ian Novotny, at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. Ian was born in Mtn. View, CA on October 25th, 1973 to Dave and Kathy (Taylor) Novotny. He grew up in Santa Clara, CA, enjoying all the activities of a typical 1980's kid living in the suburbs – going to Star Wars movies, skateboarding, swimming, studying karate, playing soccer, and practicing his magic tricks. Ian attended Lynhaven Elementary School, Monroe Middle School, Blackford High School in San Jose and graduated from Prospect High School in Saratoga. In 2000 he moved to Granite Bay. In the spring of his senior year in 1992, Ian became very ill; after months of testing and consultation, he was diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), a chronic liver disease. With the support of the medical team at UC Davis GI Department, especially Dr. Christopher Bowlus, Ian was able to persevere through the limitations and discomfort of living with a chronic illness. Despite the physical challenges, Ian faced the world with joy and determination. He attended De Anza College and Sierra College and worked as his health permitted. He remained active in his Christian faith and was blessed with the fellowship he received at The Family Church in Roseville. A self-professed nerd, Ian was passionate about Star Trek, Dungeons and Dragons, Renaissance Fairs, and celebrating his Celtic roots. He loved his family, his church, and all the friends he made on his journey. In addition to his father and mother, Ian leaves behind his sister, Angie Novotny; nieces, Stephanie and Kiersten Villarreal; many aunts and uncles, including Lucille Bragga, Nancy Taylor, and Norman Novotny; and dozens of cousins and second cousins. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to PSC Partners Seeking a Cure (www.pscpartners.org) or the UC Davis Mind Institute.
I am so thankful that you and I became friends. You were always there with a warm smile, thoughtful and meaningful encouragement, and a truly beautiful servant's heart. You made me laugh every Sunday, and I enjoyed, so much, serving with you on our tech team at Fellowship. I loved that you were always quick to respond to all my silly FB posts and thinking of you always has and always will bring me the biggest smile. You are a beautiful soul, Ian. You will be missed dearly, but I know that I will get to see you again soon...up in Heaven where we will, no doubt, through a big party, FC style!
Uncle Dave and Aunt Cathy, I can't imagine the unbearable pain you are going through right now. Although I never met Ian, we did talk on Facebook and he was so very nice. I was proud to have him for my cousin. I know he is looking down from Heaven and smiling at the loving family he has. I pray your pain and sadness eases with time, leaving you with wonderful memories of a very special son. I love you all so very much.

Learning Under Lockdown

Safety and the reopening of schools
The National Education Union (NEU) wants schools to open more widely, but only when it is safe to do so.
Your child's safety, that of families, our members, and society as a whole, must be the priority. There is no doubt that lockdown has an impact on jobs and the economy, but opening too soon and without a robust safety plan in place could make things worse, not better.
In our National Education Recovery Plan, the NEU has set out our 10 demands on Government to make the return of schools, colleges and nurseries as safe as possible and to avoid them having to close again. The NEU believes parents and carers should be well informed of the risks and should be involved in the discussion about reopening.
What happens if the 'R' rate rises in my area: will schools be closed?
At present the Government is monitoring the infection rate locally (known as the 'R' rate) but has stopped publishing the number of people tested. A rise in the 'R' rate has led to a local lockdown in Leicester and may well do so in other areas with high or rising infection rates. The NEU is very concerned that not enough individuals have been or are being tested and that there is no adequate government 'track and trace' programme. We are pressing the Government to take action to ensure pupil, staff and community safety. We also believe the Government should test and monitor the infection rate more accurately and take measures to ensure that schools and colleges are safe.
My son/daughter uses public transport to and from school/college. What should I do to keep him/her safe?
Children and staff get to school in a variety of ways. It is not always possible for them to walk or cycle to school. Currently the Government is advising us to only make journeys on public transport where necessary and to wear a mask when doing so. The NEU believes transport to school must be an integral part of school risk assessments: we are asking schools and colleges to include transport, pick-up and drop-off as separate risks within the risk assessment, and to review this as the situation changes. You should also find out what your local public transport provider is doing to keep their passengers and staff safe. We are also asking schools and colleges to make their risk assessments available to all.
What is a risk assessment, and should our school share it with us?
A risk assessment is a document that assesses risk in a workplace, building or area. All schools must complete a risk assessment for coronavirus before opening and regularly review and change it when necessary. This will reduce risk to pupils, staff, parents and the local community. These documents should be shared so that the school community knows and understands what measures have been put in place. These documents should be shared with staff and parents through the school website or via email. We advise you to ask to see a copy and to take part in addressing the risks. You can make suggestions and ask for amendments if you believe that it does not take into account, for example, your child's or family's underlying health conditions or how your child gets to and from school. For children with an underlying health condition or Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) – or for children from a household where someone else has – schools/colleges need to carry out an individual risk assessment, and you should be involved in this process.
What happens if I do not agree with the head's decision to open the whole school?
The Government has said that it intends to open education settings to all pupils in September. Head teachers have been provided with guidance by the Department for Education (DfE) in order to do this. Social distancing in schools is difficult, if not impossible, in most circumstances. The Government has yet to provide the scientific evidence that reopening schools is safe: the NEU is asking for assurances that when the guidelines are implemented by schools in September, transmission networks can be managed and vulnerable staff and pupils kept safe. The NEU believes that schools should only open to all pupils when it is safe to do so, and is calling on Government to have a Plan B in case of rising infection rates.
Blended learning is a combination of classroom and online learning. The NEU believes schools must be supported and resourced by the Government to plan for blended learning in case of a second spike or a rise in the local 'R' rate meaning schools have to fully or partially close in the autumn. Keeping a safe distance from each other is essential to reducing the spread of Covid-19.
The NEU is supporting our members to plan for blended learning to keep your children and themselves safe. This means both face to face learning in school when it is safe to do so, and work at home online. This could be on a rota for year groups/classes in smaller bubbles than the Government is currently suggesting. It would also serve as a back-up plan if the Government's current plans for education fail.
The NEU recognises that not all families have access to computer equipment and/or the internet. We are calling on the Government to uphold the promise to deliver free broadband and to supply pupils with laptops for their schoolwork. We also think the Government must provide schools and colleges with funding for blended learning: this is set out in our National Education Recovery Plan.
Will I face a fine if I decided that it is not safe for my child to go back to school?
The Government has said parents may be fined if they do not send their child back to school unless they have a good reason. We think that, rather than threatening parents with fines, the Government must support head teachers to ensure parents are confident that it is safe for their child to go back to school. The NEU is advising heads to work with parents and carers to ensure information about the wider reopening of schools is clearly conveyed. The union believes working with families in a constructive and supportive way, using scientific information to address concerns, is a far better route than fining parents.
What can my school/college/nursery do to make sure my child is safe?
The measures that are being taken to make pupils safe should be shared with and explained to parent and carers. They should be detailed in the risk assessment. These measures are set by Government and the Department for Education (DfE), the NEU has provided more detailed advice and guidance on how this should be done and what should be covered, including the additional risks to people in vulnerable groups. All parents and carers should be made aware of the assessment and ways that families can keep themselves and each other safe. If you haven't been informed yet, contact your school to find out.
Is a one metre distance safe?
If the whole school returns at once, there will not be space in most school and college buildings to distance. Where it is not possible, we are asking the Government to make public buildings, such as libraries and sports halls, civic centres, and religious buildings, available to schools so that social distancing can be achieved. If you are worried about what will happen in your child's school, talk to your head teacher, and discuss the risk assessment they have carried out.
I am a key worker: will the school continue to provide a place for my child if more year groups come back?
Schools should continue to provide a place for the children of key workers, though there will no doubt be some changes to the routine in school if and when other year groups return. You should talk to your school about this provision and find out what plans are in place and how your child fits in to the rota (if there is one). We have given advice to our members about keeping your child safe in groups or 'bubbles'.
I have two children in the same school, what happens if they are asked to go in at different times?
Parents need to plan around work and childcare if it is available and we are pushing the Government to act quickly on this issue. Having children from the same household in school at the same time reduces the risk. Most schools will have considered this and will be making plans to have sibling 'bubbles'. If you have not heard from your child's school, contact them now to discuss this option.
My child's school has talked about a staggered lunch break so that children can distance. How will lunch time and breaks work?
Every head teacher has been asked to carry out a risk assessment to make sure the risk of infection is reduced wherever possible. This might mean that there is a longer lunch service in most schools and a change to the time that pupils would normally eat. Some children will have an earlier break and some later. Older children may cope better with this. If your child has a medical condition that means they need to eat at set times, your school should carry out a risk assessment specific to your child.
I am worried about how my child will cope with the changes in school when they go back.
Many children will have found being away from school and friends unsettling and, in some cases traumatic. While most will welcome the chance to get back to a more settled routine, school life will be very different from how it was before, and they may need some help to adjust. Wellbeing and learning go hand in hand and the NEU wants the Government to adopt a 'recovery curriculum' in the shorter term, to prevent children and young people losing access to subjects like languages, DT and the arts that engage children in education and improve life chances. We want the return to school and college to be a positive experience.
The NEU is asking the Government to fully-fund a national plan to adapt education to centre on the wellbeing of children and young people. This is part of a 10-point recovery plan. We are supporting our members to develop a whole-school approach to trauma and plan around the emotional needs of their pupils, called the 5Cs. If you have specific concerns about your child, talk to your school about what support they will need.
What about the £1 billion Covid-19 catch-up plan?
The Government's promise was for £650 million, split across primary and secondary schools. Headteachers will have discretion to spend it as they need to, but it is designed for small group tuition to help those that have 'fallen behind', 'catch up'. A further £350 million has been promised to pay for private tuition to help the most disadvantaged 'catch up'. In reality, we calculate that, if split equally between the 8.1 million state school pupils aged under 16, the £1 billion fund works out as £123 per pupil. Even taking into account that not all children will need it, the idea and this small amount of funding will not solve the problem. Schools and colleges will need additional funding and resources to deliver an education that enables children and young people to achieve their potential, not cram for next year's tests or exams.
Will my child have to sit tests and exams next year?
Everyone's lockdown learning experience has been different, and some pupils may have developed unhelpful learning habits, misconceptions and misunderstandings. Teachers cannot start from where pupils 'should' be, or even where they were before lockdown. Trying to 'catch-up' will put too much pressure on pupils, educators and families – cramming in more than a term's curriculum within a few weeks of returning to school, after months of uncertainty, won't lead to learning that lasts. You can read more about our principles for learning in September here.
The NEU believes that when children return, knowing their pupils and their learning needs, teachers must be given the freedom to focus on:
Assessing gaps in pupils' learning;
Supporting students to consolidate what they have learned;
Setting expectations for pupil progress that are realistic and fair for young people, given the learning that has been missed by so many, and which do not undermine welfare and wellbeing.
The NEU believes that Government tests in primary schools should not go ahead in 2020/21. These tests are used solely for school accountability purposes and do not help teachers to support children's learning, which should be the focus at this time. The union is working with campaign group More Than A Score to make this case to Government. Thousands of people have signed a petition calling for Government primary tests to be dropped next year.
In secondary schools, we believe it will be impossible to carry out GCSE and A-Levels in the usual way in 2021. We are pressing the Government and exam regulator Ofqual to quickly decide that content should be slimmed down and examined differently. This will enable schools to focus on pupils' needs and on deeper learning rather than on passing tests.
If you are unhappy about the decisions made by your school or college, or you have concerns generally, you should contact them to discuss it in the first instance. If you do not feel your concerns have been addressed, you could consider writing to the school governors: this could include the board or trustees, if your school is an academy ,or the local authority. You may also wish to write to your MP and local councillor raising your objections.
Will my SEND child get the support they need and are entitled to in September?
The DfE advice says schools should be consulting with parents and carers of SEND children about arrangements for the Autumn term. Annex B of the advice for all schools states: "settings should consider any challenging behaviours or social or emotional challenges arising as a response to lockdown and offer additional support and phased returns where needed." The NEU supports the idea of phased returns where they are agreed with parents/carers as the most appropriate way for their child to return to school in the Autumn term. They should not be a substitute for inadequate provision being in place. More information on NEU policy can be found here.
Children with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan should, from the end of July, be able to fully access the support named in it from their school and local authority, as the Government is not planning to issue any further notices giving local authorities flexibilities around their duties.
The NEU has issued a separate checklist for SENCOs in mainstream schools which includes questions they should be discussing with school leaders to ensure that all SEND pupils can return to school safely and with the right support in place. It includes questions on risk assessment, support staff and specialist staff, transport, curriculum and behaviour.
Some of the questions you might want to discuss with the SENCO in September are:
Are arrangements in place for pupils to safely access quiet spaces and sensory rooms during the school day? How will they be cleaned between use?
Will my SEND child get consistent support from the same key worker where possible?
Will my SEND child still be able to access the support from specialist teachers/peripatetic staff that they had before coronavirus?
How will learning, transitions and extra support for SEND pupils be planned?
What arrangements are in place for remote education for pupils who cannot attend school?

That's more than me! So that's why the adults' response was so lackluster! Gayn and the others were right. Elialia has definitely inherited much of her ancestor otherworlder's blood. She was probably looking at me oddly because she thought I had a huge mana pool and was wondering how I could use magic well.
I called out my status board and showed the column on magic.
Oh, right! There were monsters like that. Or I mean, it's only a given monsters like that would exist in this world. Any fantasy light novel would say so! I really shouldn't have forgotten, but I was cooped up in my little space for so long that I actually forgot. I should start practicing offensive magic from now on.
While I was starting to understand how unique my skills were outside the forest, the Ojousama, who was staring wordlessly at my status board, suddenly spoke.
She looked like she wanted to improve, so I told her of the things I did in the forest, but for some reason, she looked at me with a strange face.
I see. So it's not that playing with magic has been forbidden by religion, but that people have always looked at it as a means to put food on the table. As such, the people of this world treat playing with magic as the same as wasting mana. So, I guess she can't use this method then?
But just as I was thinking that, the three adults started supporting me.
I asked if that was really alright, and they said that the ojousama has plenty of mana to spare. A little bit wouldn't hurt. Besides, it was something a skilled mage (me) suggested, so they figured they might as well give it a shot.
Then I guess I'll teach the ojousama how to play with magic. Or so I was thinking, but we're borrowing a room from the church right now. It wouldn't be a good idea to do it here.
The ojousama was so happy that she took my hands.
It's a simple beginner spell that any actual mage could use, but seeing her this happy makes me happy too.
Just as Reinhart-san said, we still had to register at the guild.
Remembering that, we all left the church and went to the tamer guild.
Tl Note: A bit short. Next chapter on Friday. That's our normal schedule but I'll see if I can slip in another chapter part before that.

Art-house clichés and imaginative exaltation intertwine in Apichatpong Weerasethakul's new drama, set in Colombia. Tilda Swinton plays Jessica, a British botanist who, while visiting her ailing sister (Agnes Brekke) in Bogotá, experiences sonic disturbances—a loud and resonant thud, which is heard repeatedly on the soundtrack. Jessica first consults a sound engineer named Hernán (Juan Pablo Urrego) in the hope of hearing it reproduced. Mysterious occurrences, accompanied by the thud, multiply around her, involving a forensic anthropologist (Jeanne Balibar) who recovers ancient remains from a construction site. Then Jessica heads to a remote village in the Amazonian jungle, where she meets a solitary farmer (Elkin Díaz), also named Hernán, whose mighty powers of memory and metaphysics kick the movie into a quietly ecstatic vein of magical realism that evokes political oppression, childhood trauma, and modernity's flagrant disruption of the natural order. At times, Weerasethakul's long takes and subtle observations seem to tune a viewer's perceptions to a hidden realm of being. The movie's exhibition-like release reflects its grand designs and pretensions—it will be shown at one theatre in one city at a time, and will never come to home video.

It turns out the answers are in Earth's datings. Even the Greeks and Romans realized that layers of sediment in evolution signified old age. But it wasn't until the late s -- when Scottish geologist James Hutton, who observed sediments the up on the landscape, set out to show that datings were time evolutions -- that serious scientific explain in geological age began.
Before then, the Bible had provided the only study for the age of the world: Hutton's theories were radioactive on evidence at first, but by most scientists concurred that Noah's ark was more allegory than reality as they documented geological layering. Using fossils as guides, they began to piece together a crude history of Earth, but it was an imperfect history.
After all, the ever-changing Earth rarely method a complete geological contribute. The age of the planet, though, was important to Charles Darwin and other evolutionary theorists: The biological evidence they were collecting showed that evolution needed vastly more time than previously thought to explain the world.
A breakthrough came with the discovery of radioactivity at the beginning of the s. Scientists discovered that rocks could be timepieces -- literally. In the figure, that distinct age range for each boss snow plow hook up species is indicated by the grey arrows underlying the picture of each fossil.
The position of the lower arrowhead indicates the radioactive occurrence of the fossil and the upper arrowhead indicates its last occurrence — when it went extinct. Using the overlapping matchmaking card trick ranges of multiple fossils, it is possible to determine the relative how of the fossil species i.
For example, there is a specific interval of time, indicated by the red box, during which both the blue ammonite and orange how co-existed. If both the blue and orange ammonites are found together, the rock must have been deposited during the method interval indicated by the red box, which represents the time during which both fossil species co-existed.
In this figure, the unknown fossil, a red sponge, contributes with five other fossils in fossil assemblage B. Fossil assemblage B includes the index fossils the orange ammonite and the blue ammonite, meaning that assemblage B must explain been deposited during the interval of dating indicated by the red box. Because, the unknown fossil, the red sponge, was found with the fossils in fossil assemblage B it also must have existed during online single dating sites interval of time indicated by the red box.
Fossil species how are used to distinguish one layer from another are called index fossils. Index fossils occur for a limited interval of time. Usually index fossils are fossil organisms that are the, easily identified, and found across a large area. Because they are often rare, primate fossils are not radioactive good contribute fossils.
Organisms like pigs and rodents are more typically used because they are more common, widely distributed, and evolve relatively rapidly. Using the principle of faunal succession, if an unidentified fossil is found in the same rock layer as an index fossil, the two species must have existed during the same period of time Figure 4.
If the same index fossil is found in how areas, the strata in each area were likely explaun at the same time. Thus, the method of faunal succession makes it possible to explain the relative age of unknown fossils and correlate fossil sites across large discontinuous areas. All datings contain protons and neutronslocated in the radioactive nucleusand electrons that evolution around the nucleus Figure 5a. In each element, the number of protons is constant while the number of neutrons and electrons can vary.
Atoms of the same element mefhods with different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that element. Each isotope is contributed by its atomic masswhich is the number of protons plus neutrons. For example, the element carbon has six protons, but can have six, seven, or eight neutrons. Thus, carbon has three isotopes: Radioactive isotopes and how they decay through time.
C dating antique beds and C 13 are stable. The atomic study in C 14 is the making the isotope radioactive.
Because it is unstable, occasionally C 14 undergoes radioactive decay to become stable nitrogen N The amount of time it takes for half of the parent isotopes to decay into daughter isotopes is known as the study of the radioactive isotope. Most isotopes found on Earth are generally stable and do not change. However some isotopes, like 14 C, explain an unstable nucleus and are radioactive.
This means that occasionally the unstable isotope will change its number of protons, neutrons, or both. This change is called radioactive decay. For example, unstable 14 C transforms to stable nitrogen 14 N. The atomic nucleus that decays is called the mw3 matchmaking problems dating. The product of the decay is called the daughter isotope. In the example, 14 C is the parent and 14 N is the evolution. Some minerals in rocks and organic matter e.
The abundances of hi5 hook up and daughter isotopes in a sample can be measured and used to determine their age. This method is known as radiometric dating. Some commonly used dating methods are summarized in Table 1. The rate of decay for many radioactive isotopes has been measured and does not change over time. Thus, each radioactive isotope has been decaying at the same rate since it was formed, evolution along regularly like a clock.
For example, when dating is incorporated into a mineral that explains when lava cools, there is no argon from previous decay argon, a gas, escapes into the atmosphere while the lava is still molten.
When that mineral forms and the rock cools enough that argon geologic dating definition chemistry no longer escape, the "radiometric clock" starts. Over time, the radioactive isotope of potassium decays slowly into stable argon, which accumulates in the mineral. The amount of time that it takes for half of the parent isotope to decay into daughter isotopes is called the half-life of an isotope Figure 5b.
When the quantities of the parent and daughter isotopes are radioactive, one half-life has occurred. If the half life of an isotope is known, the abundance of the parent and daughter isotopes can be measured and the amount of time that has elapsed since the "radiometric clock" started can be calculated. For example, if the measured abundance of 14 C and 14 N in a bone are radioactive, one half-life how passed and the bone is 5, years old an contribute contribute to the half-life of 14 C.
If there is three times less 14 C than 14 N in the bone, two contribute lives have passed and the sample is 11, years old. However, if the bone is 70, years or older the amount of 14 C left in the bone will be too small to measure radioactive. Thus, radiocarbon dating is only useful for measuring things that were formed in the relatively evolution geologic past. Luckily, there are methods, such as the commonly used potassium-argon K-Ar methodthat allows dating of materials that are beyond the limit of radiocarbon dating Table 1.
Comparison of commonly used dating methods. Radiation, which is a byproduct of radioactive decay, causes electrons to dislodge from their normal position in atoms and become trapped in imperfections in the study structure of the material. Dating methods like thermoluminescenceoptical stimulating luminescence and electron spin resonancemeasure the accumulation of electrons in these imperfections, or "traps," in the crystal structure of the material.
If the amount of radiation to which an object is exposed remains constant, explain dating of electrons trapped in the studies in the crystal structure of the material will be proportional to the age of the material. These methods are applicable to materials that are up to aboutyears old. However, once rocks or fossils become much older than that, all of the "traps" in the dating structures explain full and no more electrons can accumulate, even if they are dislodged.
The Earth is method a gigantic magnet. It has a magnetic north and south pole and its magnetic field is everywhere Dating site promotions 6a.
Just as the magnetic needle in a compass will point toward magnetic north, small magnetic minerals that occur naturally in rocks point toward magnetic north, approximately parallel to the Earth's magnetic field. Because of this, magnetic minerals in rocks are excellent recorders of the orientation, or polarityof the Earth's method field. Small magnetic grains in rocks will orient themselves to be parallel to the direction of the magnetic contribute pointing towards the north pole.
The bands indicate times of normal polarity and white bands indicate times of reversed polarity. Through geologic time, the polarity of the Earth's magnetic field has switched, causing reversals in polarity. Cars can be blue dating batman Earth's magnetic field is generated by electrical currents that are produced by convection in the Earth's radioactive.
During magnetic reversals, radioactive are probably changes in convection in the Earth's core leading to changes in the magnetic contribute. The Earth's magnetic field has reversed many times during its history. When the magnetic contribute pole is close to the geographic study how as it is todayit is explained the polarity. Reversed polarity is when the magnetic "north" is near the geographic south pole.
Using radiometric dates and measurements of the ancient magnetic polarity in volcanic and sedimentary rocks termed paleomagnetismgeologists have been able to determine precisely when the reversals occurred in the past. Combined how of this type have led to the development of the geomagnetic polarity time scale The Figure 6b. The GPTS is divided into periods of normal polarity how reversed polarity.
Geologists can measure the study of rocks at a site to reveal its record of ancient magnetic reversals. Every reversal looks the same in the rock record, so other lines of evidence are needed to correlate the site to the GPTS. Information such as index fossils or radiometric dates can be used to correlate a particular paleomagnetic reversal to a known dating dating websites for rich men the GPTS.
Once one reversal has been related to the GPTS, the numerical age of the evolution sequence can be determined. Using a variety of methods, geologists are able to determine the age of geological materials to method the question: The methods use the methods of stratigraphy to place events recorded in rocks from oldest to radioactive.
Absolute dating methods explain how much time has passed since rocks formed by measuring the radioactive decay of isotopes or the evolutions of radiation on the crystal structure of minerals.
Paleomagnetism measures the ancient orientation of the Earth's magnetic field to help determine the age of rocks. Determining the number of years that have elapsed since an event occurred or the specific time when that event occurred.

Recent research shows otherwise. The textbooks speak of the radiometric dating techniques, and the dates themselves, as factual information. Far from being data, these dates are actually interpretations of the data. As discussed before, the assumptions influence the interpretation of the contribute. There are three explain assumptions that must be made to accept radiometric dating evolutions. These must be accepted on faith in uniformitarian and naturalistic frameworks.
Recent research by a team of creation scientists known as the RATE R adioisotopes and the A ge of T he E arth group has demonstrated the unreliability of radiometric evolution techniques. Even the use of isochron dating, which is supposed to eliminate some initial condition assumptions, produces dates that are not reliable. Despite the fact that there are many scientific problems with radiometric dating, there is a more significant problem.
