Six researchers from the Clodomiro Picado Institute (ICP), of the University of Costa Rica, and one from Mexico received the 2017 Girolami Family Award for an international biomedical research on antiophidic serum.
La terciopelo (Bothrops asper), es la serpiente venenosa que más mordeduras causa en nuestro país. El suero antiofídico evaluado en esta investigación no resulta efectivo para combatir todos los efectos que ocasiona su veneno.
The winners are Dr. Guillermo León-Montero, Dr. José María Gutiérrez-Gutiérrez, Dr. Mariángela Vargas-Arroyo, M.Sc. Álvaro Segura-Ruiz, M.Sc. María Herrera-Vega and M.Sc. Mauren Villalta-Arrieta, all of them from the Technological Development Section of the ICP (SEDETEC), as well as Dr. Alfredo Uscanga-Reynell, researcher of the Laboratorios Biológicos y Reactivos de México S.A. (Birmex) [Biological and Reagent Laboratories of Mexico].
The recognition was granted by the journal Revista de Biología Tropical (RBT), and International Journal on Tropical Biology and Conservation, through the publication of the article "Effectiveness of a polyspecific antivenom produced in Mexico to neutralize, at the preclinical level, toxic activities of venoms of Bothrops sp (Snakes: Viperidae) of medical importance."
The award-winning research consisted of evaluating whether an antiophidic serum produced by Birmex Laboratories for snakes in Mexico was effective in neutralizing poisons from some of the snakes that cause more ophidic accidents in Latin American countries. In the case of Costa Rica, effectiveness was evaluated against the venom of the fer-de-lance viper (Bothrops asper), which causes the most bites in the country.
According to Dr. José María Gutiérrez-Gutiérrez, member of the research team, antiophidic serums are produced for certain snake venoms and can neutralize poisons from different origins and regions.
"Here the question that concerns us was to know if the serum produced by Birmex Labs was effective in neutralizing poisons from the snakes that cause the greatest number of bites in Latin America," said Dr. Gutiérrez.
The expert explained that after a year of work, researchers concluded that the serum produced by Birmex Laboratories is effective against several poisons of some snake species of South America. However, it is partially effective against the Costa Rican fer-de-lance viper, since it does not neutralize the effects that alter blood coagulation.
Dr. Gutiérrez explained that it is very important to know which serums work in which countries with a scientific basis, because this allows decision-makers to acquire them or not, and on the other hand, it is very important because it feeds the collaboration networks that the ICP has at the international level.
He explained that this collaboration with Birmex Labs is strategic for ICP, because they both have common interests. In the past, they have evaluated antiophidic serums produced in Costa Rica. "We are encouraging researchers, technicians and research projects exchanges," he added.
He recalled that currently the World Health Organization (WHO) demands that to acquire antiophidic serums in a country, its effectiveness to neutralize the venoms of snakes in that country must previously be proven.
For example, the serum produced by Birmex Labs and evaluated by the ICP cannot be marketed in our country to be used against the fer-de-lance viper venom.
According to Dr. José María Gutiérrez, in Costa Rica there are approximately 600 snakebites a year, most of them caused by the fer-de-lance pit viper, and 4000 in Central America.
Dr. Julian Monge-Najera, director of the International Journal of Tropical Biology and Conservation, stated that the Clodomiro Picado Institute provides antivenom serums to tropical regions where large companies have little interest in participating.
Currently, ICP exports antiophidic serums to all Central American countries, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru; and in Africa to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Burkina Faso, the Republic of Mali, and the Republic of Benin.
According to Dr. Nájera, this is accomplished by the staff at the Institute, not only with the highest technological level and quality standards, but at prices appropriate to the conditions of these markets in developing countries.
"The award was granted to a work that precisely addresses this problem with a high level of scientific quality," said the academic.
The Girolami Family Prize is awarded annually to the best biomedical publication in the Journal. The winners received a certificate and $ 2000 USD dollars.
In accordance with the rules of the Prize, all Costa Rican authors of biomedical articles published in the Journal are considered participants automatically, no application is required.
The Girolami Family Prize was established in 1995 by Dr. Ettore De Girolami and his family. Dr. De Girolami, who died in 2006, was an Italian cytologist and pathologist who lived in Costa Rica from 1952 to 1958.
The identity of the judges remains anonymous, but they are designated by the Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy and Microbiology, as well as the School of Biology at the University of Costa Rica. On this occasion, the Jury was assigned to evaluate 30 works published in a period of two years.
Asked how they received the recognition, Dr. Gutiérrez, on behalf of the research team, said that for the people who participated in the study and for the Institute in general, the recognition is a great encouragement.
"For us it is very important, seeing as how the Journal Tropical Biology is quite emblematic at UCR. This is one of the best journals of the Institution. It is a historical magazine and many of us have built our first weapons in the scientific publication in this journal founded by Dr. Alfonso Trejos- Willis (1921-1988), a mentor for us.
"It is a Journal that has a very important significance for UCR and for the scientific community in the country. For us to receive recognition from this magazine has an affective element also for what it represents and for being from our own University," said Dr. Gutiérrez.
Updated by César A. Parral on Wednesday, October 4, 2017 at 2:00 pm.
Part of the research team received the Award last September 8th, 2017 at the Activity Hall N° 1 of the Carlos Monge-Alfaro Library.

The bane of every writer's existence. i don't even like to say the words out loud. It makes it seem a lot more real. But the truth is, it is very real and it hits everyone who writes.
I get stuck sometimes. When what's in my head doesn't come out right on the page. Or worse, when what I'm working on has no words at all. When I stare at the page, reading where I left off, and I've got nothing to add to it. I hate that feeling the most. Because there are thousands of thoughts in my head and why can't I seem to make anything at all make sense? It's like a pain in my stomach. It's like it's physically painful when I can't write; not because I don't have the time or I'm busy with something else, but because there are no words.
The best advice I've ever gotten is just to write anyway. It doesn't matter what. Just write. It could be complete and totally crap, but write anyway. Get something on the page. And usually, when I do that, it's like my writer's block is forcibly broken. I might not actually keep a single word that I put down, but better things flow through the hole I made in the block and then, when the force gets stronger, it breaks that block apart and I can write again. Sometimes it happens all at once, like a dam breaking. And sometimes it's a slow process, a little at at time, until the block is completely worn away.
I was suffering from a the block for the last week. And everything I wrote was awful and I couldn't keep anything I wrote. And it was making my stomach hurt. But I kept writing anyway. And then, it all broke free and the words were ones I actually wanted to keep. That progressed the story along and actually made sense.
So that's the advice I pass on to you. Write anyway. It doesn't matter if it's the worst thing in the history of all the world. Get words on the page. And when you're done, more and better words will come.
Good advice Kris! And you're not alone. It happens to all writers at one time or another.
It really works, too. I swear. And it does really help to know that other writers experience the same problem. Makes me feel less alone, you know?

The new Ram 1500 TRX finally arrives for the 2021 model year with its scooped hood and supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® V8 engine. While the Hellcat-powered models have been eagerly anticipated by fans, the new model also means some other cool new options for the milder versions.
There's an available head-up display available in 2021 along with a digital rearview mirror to help when backing up to a trailer. The infotainment system now provides reports to help with off-roading like height, pitch-and-roll monitoring, and transfer-case mode. Plus, there are some new features offered specifically for trailers and expanded in the lineup like pedestrian detection and forward-collision.
A new 10th Anniversary Edition is now available for Longhorn models with a slew of cool features like unique badging, trim pieces, and Mountain Brown as an interior option.
The cabin of the new Ram 1500 is among the finest in its class. Its doors open wide for easier entry and exit with easy-to-grip handles. The controls are in easy reach of the driver who has an excellent view to see the road and various angles around the truck.
There's an abundance of space inside for the comfort of drivers and passengers alike. The amount of rear-seat legroom has no equal in the segment. Nice, big windows provide great outward visibility.
The crosshair grille is gone in 2021 and replaced with a slimmer one with slim headlights situated around it. The grille on Rebel models looks like a mustache but that's the only deviation. The new TRX models get distinctive and more aggressive styling.
You can choose from three headlight types: halogen, LED, and LED with adaptive front-lighting. There's a new 115-volt outlet in the RamBox bed storage unit and the tailgate is now damped with lift assist.
The new Ram 1500 offers V6 and V8 combustion engines across its lineup, all mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that shifts very smoothly. Either engine gets backup from the 48-volt eTorque hybrid system. The 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 you can have without the electric backup.
The standard engine is a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine with an optional 5.7-liter V8 that features variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation. The TRX models get the 6.2-liter HEMI® V8. There's also a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 that puts out good power and impressive torque.
The standard suspension uses coil springs with optional air springs. No matter which new Ram 1500 model you choose, the ride is just what you're looking for. It can be a smooth-as-glass luxury ride or a rugged warrior for your off-road adventures.

The Holiday season has begun. Do you look forward to it? Or, do you just hope and pray that you will get through it? It really doesn't have to be that stressful. Remember, this is the season of being thankful, and spending time with loved ones.
It's easy to get caught up in the busyness of the Holiday's. Which Christmas party should you go to? Did you get the right gift for your child or spouse? Is there enough food? Is your niece allergic to dairy? If so, how should you make the mashed potatoes? And, all that other stuff. Don't let this get in the way of enjoying the Holiday season.
Acknowledge your feelings. It's easy to put everyone else first during this time of year, and yourself last. When you do this you can feel tired and burnout. You may also start to feel resentful, and that others aren't doing enough for you. It's alright to let people know how you are feeling. Maybe, the holiday season makes you feel blue. Let your friends and family know that, and let them know why.
Stick to a budget. There is so much out there to buy, and there are so many good sales. If you don't plan ahead, you may end up in debt that you will have a difficult time paying off. Make out a list of people you'd like to buy gifts for. Then write out what you would like to buy them. Do a little comparative shopping. Don't feel like you are cheap. There is nothing wrong with spending within your budget. This will help make it less stressful when it comes time to pay the bill.
Don't say yes when you mean no. I know this is the season of giving. But, you don't what to get in too deep. There are many places to volunteer. Pick one that is close to your heart and try not to go overboard. You don't have to buy your children everything on their Christmas list. This is where writing out a budget will come in handy. If you are hosting a party, don't feel like you have to make everything from scratch. Let your guests bring a dish to share, or buy something that is already made.
Set aside differences with others. There is always family drama. Don't let it spoil the holiday's, for yourself or your family. This is a great time to let go of the past and start fresh. Maybe, you don't feel your in-laws do enough for you. It's alright to feel that way, but try to see the good in the situation. Maybe, your daughter doesn't call you enough. If she is there for the holiday's, be glad that she is and let her know that.
Don't abandon healthy habits. With all the parties and entertaining, it's easy to blow it and overindulge. It's alright to have a little bit, but you really don't want to overdue it. This will only add to your stress, especially when the holiday's are over and you step on the scale. Keep healthy snacks at home and at the office. Don't stand next to the buffet table at the party. This is a great time to get out and mingle. Try to fill up on lean proteins. This will help you feel food. When you are going to a party, plan ahead. Think about what you will eat and drink. Start out with veggies. Try not to have more than one or two alcoholic drinks. Limit the amount of carbs that you eat. Have a small portion of dessert, so you don't feel deprived.
It's alright to lean on others, you shouldn't feel like you have to do everything. Make sure you are around people that appreciate this season. Rather than let the negativity take over. It really is a short time, try to enjoy it.
Lianne Avila is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, in San Mateo, CA. She has helped many individuals and families, get through the holiday season with a sense of joy in their heart. For more information, please visit www.LessonsforLove.com.

Q: Django - 404 page displayed for dev web server (http://127.0.0.1:8000/) I am familiarizing myself with Django.
I have successfully installed and tested a demo site. I now want to switch on the admin module, to see what happens.
The steps I took (granted, some were unnecessary, but I just wanted to make sure I was starting from a clean slate):

*

*Edited mysite/settings.py to enable admin

*Edited mysite/url.py to enable admin

*dropped and recreated my backend db

*run ./manage.py syncdb (and responded correctly to the prompts)

*started the dev web server (./manange.py runserver)

Here is what my mysite/settings.py file looks like (relevant section only)
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    'django.contrib.admin',
    # The next lines are my models
    'mysite.foo',
    'mysite.foobar',
)

Here is what my mysite/urls.py file looks like:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Example:
    # (r'^mysite/', include('mysite.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below and add 'django.contrib.admindocs'
    # to INSTALLED_APPS to enable admin documentation:
    (r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

When I browse to the server url , I get this response:
Page not found (404)
Request Method:     GET
Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

   1. ^admin/doc/
   2. ^admin/

The current URL, , didn't match any of these.

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

What am I doing wrong?

A: Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/
You are accessing the root URL. However you have no URL configuration that matches this. Your admin app is at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/. Try that instead.
If you want admin app to be accessible at root, you'll have to change your URL mapping as shown below:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
     # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    (r'^$', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Keep in mind that this is NOT recommended. You certainly don't want the root URL to point to the admin app!

A: clearly you are not having any url that handles request to 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/'.
To see the admin page visit, 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/'
When you have the admin urls
# (r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
# (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

commented and no other urls, django welcome page is shown by default at 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/'

A: *

*Using PyCharm 2.7

*Location:urls.py

*This line (in urls.py) url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), was uncommented.Added the # and voilà, page works.

In the town of Baltimore, USA, it is located the Maryland Science Center, a very modern and completely interactive museum of sciences. At the third floor there is a permanent exhibition dedicated to mathematics entitled Beyond Numbers. In the exhibition you can find images and objects related to research results in mathematics obtained in the last two or three years. The exhibition is divided in three tematic sections, of course connected among them. In Playing with Abstractions the visitor has the opportunity to play with interactive computer software, to construct modern mathematical surfaces and other topological models, to make experiments. It is possibile to see the images of two recent mathematical videos Not Knot (Gunn et al, 1991) and Inside out (Levy et al, 1994) both of them realized at the Geometry Center of the University di Minnesota in Minneapolis; the first video is on knot theory while the second one is dedicated to the problem of how a sphere can be turned inside out without tears or creases.
It is not a unique example of interest of an artist for modern mathematics; this new relationship between artists and mathematicians have been very profound in the last years. See for example the catalogue of the exhibition The Eye of Horus: Art and Mathematics (Emmer, 1990).
Mathematical ideas are not subjects to fashions, they do not vary in centuries; a theorem proved by Euclid is valid today and it will be valid for centuries; it will never be over. How many other human activities have this caracteristic of universility, of immortality? Mathematics as the true art? «Of course the creative process must produce a work that has design, harmony and beauty. These qualities too are present in mathematical creations» wrote Morris Kline in his essay Mathematics in Western Culture (Kline, 1953).
There is no doubt that there are some peculiarities in considering the question of creativity in mathematics and in trying to compare it with the artistic one. Mathematicians state on the one hand that the real universal art is mathematics, on the other hand that they are the only ones able to understand this truth; so only the participants to the scientific community can take part in this « banquet of gods» (Le Lionnais, 1962). It seems that the only conclusion is that trying to analyze relationships between mathematical and artistic creativity is a loss of time. In my opinion it is indeed possible to provide elements to the investigation starting from the suggestions of Feyerabend: not to look for general formulas that will give the illusion to find a final solution to the problem (Feyerabend, 1989).
In any case it is possible to discuss the new possibilities opened for the relationships betweent art and mathematics by the new technologies. It is possible to focus on the main directions along which to obtain results of interest for each fields. On the one hand the mathematicians have obtained in the visual investigation of scientific problems images that have arose the interest not only of the scientific community but of a large audience, artists in particular; on the other hand artists, feeling themselves excluded from the possibility of using in full the new visual tools, have asked for cooperation mathematicians and experts in computer graphics. In this way from this new collaboration new interesting results have been recently obtained.
The example of fractals is not at all the only case of intrusion by mathematicians in the arts' field. To give an idea of the growing importance of the visual aspects, to point out the possible connections between some of the most recent mathematical research and the work of artists using visual techniques influenced by mathematical ideas see the volume The Visual Mind: Art and Mathematics (Emmer, 1992 & 1993) .
In the last years, after a long period of oblivion, mathematics and mathematicians have again a relative importance for artists. Talent and creativity of mathematicians, assisted by graphic tools unimaginable untill a few years ago, have opened new fields to mathematical research and gave the chance to catch the great graphic complexity in very simple problems and formulas.
Who could have imagined a few years ago that such declarations could have been found in the introduction of a volume written by two mathematicians?
It is possible to distinguish between two types of images: those resulting from the solution of interesting mathematical problems; in this case mathematicians are able to give a precise explanation both of the scientific problem and of the method with which the pictures have been produced. Other pictures are obtained by the visualization of known phenomena or of algorthims, numerical methods, mappings for which the scientific problem is not so clear, in which it is not possible to show the solution. If in the last cases pictures are in general less important by the mathematical point of view, by the figurative point of view all kind of images can be of interest for artists, regardless their scientific interest. Mathematicians tend to privilege those pictures resulting from a well defined scientific problem while for artists a combinatorial or casual method of variation of the various graphic elements of a scientific picture can be more interesting.
But even more interesting the new electronic images created by mathematicians have generated new works of art which use more traditional tools. A very interesting example is a recent work of Heleman Ferguson. A few words on the mathematical background. The theory of minimal surfaces emerged two centuries ago with the mathematicians Euler and Lagrange who began thinking about mathematical language to describe stretched surfaces, surface tensions and soap films. The first to describe visually very intriguing minimal surfaces made of soap films was the Belgium physicist Joseph Plateau (Emmer, 1991) over a hundred years ago. Not all minimal surfaces can be obtained with soap films; for this to be possible, it is essential that certain topological conditions be respected. For instance, soap films tend to fill holes, so in general a minimal surface with holes cannot be obtained from soap water. Untill 1982, mathematicians knew only three minimal surfaces of the class called minimal completed immersed surfaces, meaning that the surfaces extend to infinity and never self interesect. These three surfaces are the plane, the catenary and the helicoid, and a portion of all three can be obtained with soap films. None of the three has a handle; more precisely, their topological type is zero. For almost two hundred years mathematicians have wondered whether there exist minimal complete immersed surfaces with at least one handle; that is, whose topological type is greater that zero.
Two american mathematicians, David Hoffman and William Meeks III, using the equations found by the Brazilian mathematician Costa, were able to demonstrate the existence of a class of minimal surfaces whose topological type is fairly high: minimal surfaces with holes. The two mathematicians have used graphic techniques to prove the result; it was one of the first interesting example of a theorem proved using graphic techniques. The shapes of the images successively obtained by Hoffman and Meeks aroused interest extending beyond the purely mathematical. Hoffmann himself remarked to an interviewer that «the cooperation between art and science produced something significant in both areas.» Several artists were fascinated by the forms of the new discovered minimal surfaces and they used them as models to create sculptures using different materials.
Among others Helaman Ferguson had the idea to use his technique of computer assisted sculpting to the Costa surfaces (Ferguson, 1995). Using his computer assisted technology Ferguson, thank to the help of the mathematician Alfred Gray, created several aesthetic objects. In particular for the Maryland Science Center exhibition Beyond Numbers a ten foot diameter Costa minimal surface. Ferguson has described in a recent paper the technique to obtain a bronze, alluminium, fiberglass and Carrara marble Costa surface (Ferguson, 1995).
The example of the work of Ferguson is really interesting because the connections among the creativity of the mathematician, of the artist and the technology are all linked together and it is really hard to try to separate them. We are probably facing a possible revolution in the . relationships between mathematics and art, in which the creativity of artists and mathematicians will have the possibility of a very profound cooperation; perhaps a new Renaissance?
The images that mathematicians have created (from fractals to Costa surfaces) exist only as equations and algorithms that are seen on the video screen of a graphic computer. Even if in the case of fractals strong connections with the real world have emerged, in the case of the Costa surfaces it is really difficult to talk of possible connections with Nature. In the words of Ferguson it is the marble sculpture that represents the return to Nature of the virtual minimal surfaces.
everchanging relations, rhythms and proportions of abstract forms.» Mathematics, art and computer graphics are probably meant to influence themselves more and more in the next years. Surely we will face new results in mathematics, a real progress in the mathematical sciences. For the arts the future is more difficult to imagine, but we will surely have new interesting results from the possible cooperations between the creativity of mathematicians and artists.

Ugh. On Sunday I spent 2.5 hours making a perfectly emulsified ganache for an experiment. I let it chill overnight, and it solidified. I am so steamed.
I poured the heated cream onto the chocolate and let it sit for bit, and then stirred every 15 minutes, for 2 hours.
The hell with stirring by hand. I'll let Nemo do the work for me. After all that is what I have a stand mixer for, who wants to stand there the entire time? I have video games to play.
After 2 hours, it had lightened considerably, and had a smooth texture. All okay so far.
So I covered it with saran, and stupidly forgot to press it down to the surface, so the surface hardened.
I intended to use it on Monday but I was busy. I took it out of the fridge today, and lo and behold.
What. Is. This? I tried to save it by reheating but the fat started to separate. Wuah! This is no good.
I figured it might be salvageable if I could stir heated cream into it, and miracle of miracles, it seemed to recover.
Alright, we're cooking with gas now. As to what I made this for, well, just stay right there and find out. Next year.

MustGo About World Languages Constructed Languages
Artificial, otherwise also known as constructed, planned, or auxiliary, languages are those languages whose phonology, grammar, and vocabulary have been intentionally constructed by people, rather than having developed naturally over an extended period of time. There are many possible reasons for constructing an artificial language. Among some of them are the following: (1) to facilitate international communication, e. g., Esperanto, Ido, Interlingua, Volapük; (2) to engage in linguistic experimentation, e. g., Loglan or Lojban; (3) to help create a fictional world, e. g., Klingon in Star Trek,Tolkien's Quenya and Sindarin in Middle Earth; or Dothraki used in the Game of Thrones.
Efforts to introduce artificial languages into daily life have had very limited success. To date, there is no internationally recognized and universally used artificial language. All of them have a restricted range of use and do not usually have native speakers, although some Esperantists claim that they have successfully taught Esperanto as a first language to their children. For instance, Ethnologue reports that there are 200-2,000 first language speakers of Esperanto.
Structure and vocabulary
Artificial languages are sometimes divided into two groups.
The first group, by far the largest, is referred to as a posteriori languages. They are intended for use as auxiliary languages to facilitate communication across language boundaries. These languages use building blocks taken from natural languages. For example, Esperanto draws on several Western European languages, such as Latin, Greek, Romance, Germanic, and Slavic languages.
The second group is called a priori languages. They use invented elements, such as special symbols or numbers, to represent basic concepts. These are then grouped into logical systems based on a particular principle. A posteriori languages are closer to natural languages than a priori languages.
Below is a list of some of the better know a posteriori, or auxiliary, languages.
"World language" 1880 Johan Martin Schleyer 8 vowels, 20 consonants, based on English and German
"Lingvo Internacia' 1887 Ludwig Zamenhof 5 vowels, 23 consonants, based on Western European languages with some Slavic elements
Idiom Neutral 1902 Waldemar Rosenberger strongly influenced by Romance languages with some Slavic elements
Latino sin Flexione
"Interlingua" 1903 International Auxiliary Language Association Latin without inflections
Ido 1907 group of reformist Esperantospeakers a modified version of Esperanto
Occidental (Interlingue) 1922 Edgar von Wahl based on Romance languages
Novial 1928 Otto Jespersen Ido vocabulary + Occidental grammar
Interglossa 1943 Lancelot Hogben preliminary version
Interlingua 1951 International Auxiliary Language Association Romance-based grammar and vocabulary based on main Western European languages
Glosa 1981 W. Ashby and R. Clark based on Interglossa; contains a basic 1,000-word vocabulary derived from Greek and Latin roots
Auxiliary languages that were intended to be used for international communication are written with adapted versions of the Latin alphabet, e.g., Esperanto or Volapük.
There have also been some attempts to create scripts for fictional languages. The best-known constructed scripts dedicated to fictional languages are J. R. R. Tolkien's Sarati, Tengwar and Cirth. There are also a few others, such as the Klingon script (used in Star Trek movies), Aurek-besh (used in Return of the Jedi and other episodes of Star Wars), and D'ni (used in the computer games Myst and Riven).
Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in some auxiliary languages is given below.
Esperanto Ĉiuj homoj estas denaske liberaj kaj egalaj laŭ digno kaj rajtoj. Ili posedas racion kaj konsciencon, kaj devus konduti unu la alian en spirito de frateco.
Volapük Valik menas labons leig e lib in dinits e dets. Givons lisäls e konsiens e mutons dunön okes in flenüg tikäl.
Interlingua Tote le esseres human nasce libere e equal in dignitate e in derectos. Illes es dotate de ration e de conscientia e debe ager le unes verso le alteres in un spirito de fraternitate
How difficult is it to learn Constructed Languages?
There is no data for speakers of constructed language in terms of difficulty for speakers of English.

Washington Park offers baseball and softball fields, regulation tennis courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, spacious pavilions, a swimming pool, historic buildings, and hiking.
The park's main pavilion, built in 1907, has been home to weddings, anniversaries, family and class reunions, birthdays, family picnics, and other events.
The Washington Park loop is a 2½ mile trail in a natural setting that people use for walking, trail running, nature trips and biking. Benches allow people to rest. Dogs must be leashed.
I was surprised by how fun it was! The trails are relatively flat with some decent downhills and uphills. The trail seems to be well maintained
Posted to AllTrails by Michael Andrews
An outdoor pool at the park has multiple diving boards, a spiral water slide and lanes for swim competitions. There's a changing facility, concession stand, beach chairs and a kiddie pool.
While Washington Park is operated by the City of Washington, Washington Youth Baseball (WYB), manages the baseball fields, concession stands, batting cages and maintenance buildings. WYB runs leagues for boys and girls from ages four through fourteen. In August, 13-year-olds and 14-year-olds play from around the world in the PONY League World Series at Lew Hays PONY Field, a world class baseball & softball field offers amenities amenities not usually found at the youth baseball level. Teams travel from across the U.S. and around the world to compete in the PONY World Series.
Washington Park is also the home of the Vernon C. Neal Sportsplex that offers indoor soccer, inline hockey, flag football and volleyball.
Pickleball is played on courts set up for the sport.
Located in Washington Park, the Frontier History Center helps people understand life in Western Pennsylvania in the 18th century. The center includes the Washington Park Log Cabin, a stockade, blockhouse, cabins and a blacksmiths shop. The Washington County Historical Society building out the exhibit.
A stone pavilion in the park was built by the WPA. Short for Work Projects Administration, the WPA provided jobs to unemployed people and developed the country's infrastructure during the Great Depression. During the 1930s and 1940s, the WPA employed more than 8 million people.
Birders have spotted more than 70 species of birds, including rarely seen birds.
The park can be reached by Freedom Transit buses on their Local A route.
Washington Park is located at 283 Dunn Avenue, Washington, PA 15301.

The last Viking
I haven't been reading much historical fiction lately — probably the last one was Steven Pressfield's Gates of fire, which I enjoyed. But I do love a Viking saga and Poul Anderson delivers another great one with The last Viking.
Anderson obviously loves the old sagas himself and most of his fantasy stories use a similarly laconic, poetic style like the sagas — at any rate The broken sword, The war of the gods, The tale of Hauk, and Hrolf Krakis saga do. Three hearts and three lions, "The gate of flying daggers," and "The valor of Cappen Vara" do not. I have yet to read The merman's children.
Uniquely among Anderson's neo-sagas, The last Viking has no fantasy elements, and almost all the characters are real people. Anderson does a great job interpolating what various people might have thought and said, and the battles are usually vivid and exciting. The last Viking tells the story of the incredible career of Harald Hardarda, the king of Norway whose death marks the end of the "Viking era".
Honestly I never thought that much of Harald Hardrada — the other key players in the drama of 1066 seemed much more interesting. William the Conqueror was a brilliant if brutal warrior and Harold Godwinson was a resourceful and tenacious underdog who had the terrible of luck of facing both William and Harald on the battlefield within a month's time. however, Anderson managed to make Hardrada, who could easily be cast as a villain, into a heroic, if not too sympathetic, character, that we can root for. Knowing ahead of time that his enterprise in England is doomed, and having grown fond of Harald and his loyal followers along the way, make the final chapters especially engrossing. The last stand of one of his warriors on Stamford bridge itself — an incredible but apparently true event — channels both the grim comedy of Gimli & Legolas' contest on the walls of Helm's Deep with the tragic end of Boromir. But I suspect this has more to do with the common sources of both Tolkien and Anderson than anything else. (Another one of the characters in this saga took part in the battle of Maldon, pointing to another common reference point for Tolkien and Anderson.)
I guess the fact that this saga was written as a trilogy is what keeps reminding me of Tolkien. Honestly I pretty much never read anything that is not complete in one or two volumes because I'm so sick of all the trilogies we were subjected to throughout the 1960s onward in fantasy fiction. Everyone had to try to be a damn Tolkien, and seemed to think writing more was writing better… But Poul Anderson did not stretch this saga out into three books; he crammed it into them. Harald Hardrada did just about everything a Viking could hope to do in his life time, and travelled most of the Viking world (he never made it to Iceland, Greenland, or Vinland, but he adventured in Russia, the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Holy Land, not to mention ravaging Denmark, England, etc.). He encounters characters that range from the utterly despicable to the noble, and as I've found in all of Poul Anderson's stories so far, both the heroes and villains are entirely human and can be both sympathetic and abominable … like real people, I suppose.
I ploughed through these three volumes of The last Viking in the last couple of weeks (using just the free moments I have at lunch breaks and so forth) and strongly recommend it.

Lincoln Red Imps v Rangers – tactical match preview
Lincoln Red Imps FC and College Europa FC's players take part in the Gibraltar Cup final football match Lincoln Red Imps FC vs College Europa FC at the Victoria Stadium in Gibraltar on May 10, 2014. UEFA President Michel Platini visited Gibraltar today and attended the Rock Cup final. AFP PHOTO / MARCOS MORENO (Photo credit should read MARCOS MORENO/AFP via Getty Images)
So, will lightning strike twice?
While Rangers will always rue the loss against Progrès, the famous Red Imps famously took down Celtic four years ago.
This victory was so unexpected, it now has its own Wikipedia page, where it is described as one of the greatest shocks in European football.
Unfortunately, the same Wikipedia page also directs the interested reader to the Progrès match, which comprised of James Tavernier, Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Jack, and Ross McCrorie (who was an unused substitute during the match).
So, who are the Red Imps? The Red Imps are a fairly new club, but they already have a number of very interesting European records.
They were formed in 1976, as a youth team in the Gibraltese fourth division. They then rose rapidly, and won the Gibraltar Premier league 7 times between 1984 and 1994, then set a European record of 14 consecutive titles between 2003 and 2016.
After reviewing the Imps, it has to be said they play as a cohesive group, in a manner that seems similar to Dundee United.
They know each other well, they like to play attacking football, and they can absorb pressure.
This means in a one-off match, they do know how to break out and score.
In Europe they have played 20 games (thirteen times in the Champions League). They have scored 18 times, let in 33 goals, and they have won five matches.
Their largest defeats were to AEK Larnaca of Cyprus (0:5), and HB Tórshavn of the Faroe Islands (2:5), but usually thegames are tight. They only lost 2:0 and 1:0 in the two legs against FC Midtjylland in 2015.
This year they 'beat' Prishtina of Kosovo "3:0" , when Prishtina were unable to field a team, due to eight of their players coming down with Coronavirus.
Then they bet the famous Union Titus Pétange of Luxemburg 2:0, with both goals came from breakouts.
So, in a one-off match they have shown they are capable of winning against the odds, but with Rangers now a much more experienced team I feel this should be a tough, but rewarding afternoon.
The kick-off is at 5pm, at the Victoria Stadium (4:00pm GMT).

Q: How can it search inside the dictionary, if the dictionary is empty? I just started learning python and found this snippet. It's supposed to count how many times a word appears. I guess, for all of you this will seem very logical, but unfortunately for me, it doesn't make any sense.
str = "house is where you live, you don't leave the house."
dict = {}
list = str.split(" ")
for word in list:  # Loop over the list
    if word in dict:  # How can I loop over the dictionary if it's empty?
        dict[word] = dict[word] + 1
    else:
        dict[word] = 1

So, my question here is, how can I loop over the dictionary? Shouldn't the dictionary be empty because I didn't pass anything inside?
Maybe I am not smart enough, but I don't see the logic. Can anybody explain me how does it work?
Many thanks

A: As somebody else pointed out, the terms str, dict, and list shouldn't be used for variable names, because these are actual Python commands that do special things in Python.  For example, str(33) turns the number 33 into the string "33".  Granted, Python is often smart enough to understand that you want to use these things as variable names, but to avoid confusion you really should use something else.  So here's the same code with different variable names, plus some print statements at the end of the loop:
mystring = "house is where you live, you don't leave the house."
mydict = {}
mylist = mystring.split(" ")
for word in mylist:  # Loop over the list
    if word in mydict:
        mydict[word] = mydict[word] + 1
    else:
        mydict[word] = 1
    print("\nmydict is now:")
    print(mydict)

If you run this, you'll get the following output:
mydict is now:
{'house': 1}

mydict is now:
{'house': 1, 'is': 1}

mydict is now:
{'house': 1, 'is': 1, 'where': 1}

mydict is now:
{'house': 1, 'is': 1, 'where': 1, 'you': 1}

mydict is now:
{'house': 1, 'is': 1, 'live,': 1, 'where': 1, 'you': 1}

mydict is now:
{'house': 1, 'is': 1, 'live,': 1, 'where': 1, 'you': 2}

mydict is now:
{"don't": 1, 'house': 1, 'is': 1, 'live,': 1, 'you': 2, 'where': 1}

mydict is now:
{"don't": 1, 'house': 1, 'is': 1, 'live,': 1, 'leave': 1, 'you': 2, 'where': 1}

mydict is now:
{"don't": 1, 'house': 1, 'is': 1, 'live,': 1, 'leave': 1, 'you': 2, 'where': 1, 'the': 1}

mydict is now:
{"don't": 1, 'house': 1, 'is': 1, 'live,': 1, 'house.': 1, 'leave': 1, 'you': 2, 'where': 1, 'the': 1}

So mydict is indeed updating with every word it finds.  This should also give you a better idea of how dictionaries work in Python.
To be clear, you're not "looping" over the dictionary.  The for command starts a loop; the if word in mydict: command isn't a loop, but just a comparison.  It looks at all of the keys in mydict and sees if there's one that matches the same string as word.
Also, note that since you only split your sentence on strings, your list of words includes for example both "house" and "house.".  Since these two don't exactly match, they're treated as two different words, which is why you see 'house': 1 and 'house.': 1 in your dictionary instead of 'house': 2.


Chinese history and culture stretch back thousands of years. Standard Mandarin Chinese is the official language of both China and Taiwan. It is also one of Singapore's four official languages (along with English, Malay, and Tamil). The number of native speakers is quickly approaching one billion, making Mandarin Chinese by far the most widely spoken language in the world.
US companies are in constant need of Americans with Chinese language skills. A minor in Chinese will distinguish you from your peers applying to graduate or professional schools or interviewing for the same jobs.
The department offers three Chinese clusters in the humanities academic division.
This cluster introduces students to basic language skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening).
This cluster introduces students to Chinese culture through language courses and courses on Chinese literature, popular culture, religion and history.
This cluster introduces students to Chinese culture, history, literature, and religion.
Students are encouraged to study abroad in China, if possible. The Center for Study Abroad has programs in major cities in China, including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, and Nanjing. Generally speaking, coursework undertaken abroad will count toward the Chinese minor. For more information on studying abroad in China, visit the study abroad site or speak to a study abroad advisor.
Advanced Placement (AP) scores or International Baccalaureate (IB) rankings assist departmental advisors in finding the right course level for you. Information on how you learned the language or languages you know will also help us advise you on the most appropriate courses for you.
For students with previous experience with the Mandarin language, the first step is to take the online placement exam. You will receive a score that will be used along with the survey information you provide and with any AP or IB scores you have submitted. Together, these will help determine your placement in a specific language course. For more information on the online placement test, and instructions for how to login, see our online placement exam instructions page. Students who have not studied Standard Mandarin Chinese previously and who are not heritage speakers of Standard Mandarin Chinese may register for CHI 101 without taking a placement exam.
The placement you receive with your online numerical test scores is not necessarily how you will be placed by MLC.
Students will receive a "Course planning, placement, and recommendations" sheet with their language placement information from Academic Advising during Orientation and via email.
For more information about Chinese language, literature, and culture courses or about becoming a Chinese minor, contact Professor Ping Pian at ping.pian@rochester.edu or Professor Elizabeth Weber at e.e.weber@rochester.edu.

WHF Ariake 18: Osiris's Persona 3 Aegis
May 6th 2008 at 10:05 PM, by Shingo
Osiris of sculpting circle Heavy Gauge is one of the most skilled hands working in the PVC figure arena today (Holstein Hanako-san, Guernsey), and it's unsurprising that his personal garage kit work is equally remarkable. Along with his Heavy Gauge colleague Kana he participated at WHF Ariake 18 yesterday under the circle name "3D Megane", where the painted prototype of his Persona 3 Aegis (Aigis) kit was on display. The results of an ensuing photographic frenzy can be found below:
Aegis/Aigis
(アイギス Aigisu)
Note: "Aegis" an alternate romanization of Aigis, the spelling used in the English release of Persona 3 to refer to the character named アイギス (Aigisu) in the original Japanese version. She is commonly referred to by both romanizations.

Pretty cool. If the face weren't off, it would be the nearly perfect Aegis figure.
Deibi Manabu	May 7th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Nah, I have thwe Alter version, and have stared at the game persona for hours (she is my favourite character), and I like the Alter version best – it's really her to a T.
This one is nice, and I do notice skill when I see it, but it's not character-correct to me, so I'd not buy it. Personally, I've never liked too much that's come out of Heavy Gauge, except for the MegaHouse QB figures..
rishidan	May 7th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
I honestly wish I could appreciate this sculpt but it reminds me of this vapid idiot I once had to work with who had a similar face and body type. So, yeah. If it weren't for that I'd probably like the figure.

You know, this has bothered me for a while. Is it Aigis or Aegis? The original Japanese version uses Aigis, but the NA version used Aegis.
Should I assume they are interchangeable?
Work_Ethic May 7th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Gratz on your win Serogan!! I love this sculpt! But I really really like the character- but I know nothing about her…..LOL. I just love the design aspect of her….
Whoops….way to mistype your name….Serogane.
Sorry about that.
Haha, no worries. She's from the Shin Megami Tensei series by Atlus. It's basically this RPG where the hero has to go to school during the day, and explore a dungeon by night (Which the school transforms into during midnight). They have to figure out why this is happening and why shadows are appearing during the night to drain people of their will to live (aka Apathy syndrome).
Aigis (I'll stick with this) is an anti-shadow weapon in the game that joins you later on. Any more and I'll ruin the plot.
Thank you. As far as I know, only two copies have made it to YJA. I got the only one from the last WF (Only 20 released then), and I saw another one on YJA from this WHF.

>>serogane
Regarding the Aegis/Aigis distinction: as far as I know the spellings are interchangeable, though you're right – for comprehensiveness I should have used both. I'll edit the post to suit, thanks for pointing it out.
Link May 8th, 2008 at 6:11 am
Aegis is the official romanization. Atlus changed it to "Aigis" because of copyright issues apparently.
Then they changed the name of Episode Yourself to "The Journey" Episode Aegis in to "The Answer", which are both very silly.
Shingo May 8th, 2008 at 10:21 am
>>Link
Do you have a reference for the copyright issues with the name "Aegis"? It's a word in common English usage, I don't see how it could be copyrighted such that it couldn't be used as a fictional character name.
serogane	May 8th, 2008 at 11:59 am
>>>Link
Ah right, "Episode Aegis" in the Japanese version. So then the English version used Aigis (Courtesy of Atlus US).
Karasu	May 9th, 2008 at 10:11 am
It's supposed to be Aegis, really, look at her persona (if you have the game), get the allusion?
>>>Shingo
Perhaps it was the "Aegis Combat System" that did it? (lol)

>>>Karasu
You speak of the Aegis shield adorned by Pallas Athena in Greek mythology, yes?
Never made the connection before. That's pretty interesting.

The England rugby aftermath
Sport is fascinating not only because of the fascinating games on offer, but because of all the politics.
The R(ugby) F(ootball) U(nion), i.e. the bunch of guys who run the English game, is in a state of great confusion just now. From what I can tell, the essence of the problem is that nobody has sufficient authority to gather everyone else around in a big pow-wow, to sort everything out. Instead, power struggle reigns, to establish who, if anyone, has, or might in the near future have, such authority.
While England's players were preparing for their flights, the battle for control of the RFU was intensifying, with a growing number of clubs demanding major changes, and the Government demanding an explanation over what steps the governing body will take to restore faith in its handling of the sport.
The Government. Please no, not the Government. Don't they have enough to fret about already?
Rob Andrew (a former England fly half), who is currently the Director of Something Or Other for the RFU, has said that he is going to conduct a review. But he conducted an earlier review in 2007, and in any case, half of English rugby seems to be saying: Who the hell are you to conduct a review? You're one of the things that ought to be reviewed? You are going to get together with Johnson to decide if Johnson should pack it in. How about you packing it in, you pillock. Or words to that effect.
I don't mean to pick on poor old Rob Andrew. Everyone else with any pretensions to authority in English rugby seems now to be in the same position, and enduring similar abuse.
It all rather reminds me of what Kumar Sangakarra said about Sri Lankan cricket, after they'd won the cricket world cup, and after all that TV money and "professionalism" squirted into their game, turning a bunch of amiable amateurs, both players and admin guys, into a shark tank of politico-financial frenzy.
I recently read a biography of Clive Woodward, and what came over very strongly was that whereas Woodward professionalised the running of the England team, the people running English rugby as a whole remained in a state of confusion. Woodward hoped they'd sort themselves out after England had won the World Cup, but they just wanted to relax and enjoy it. Woodward didn't resign the England job immediately after winning the World Cup. He resigned somewhat later than that, because he didn't like the continuing muddled state of the RFU. He thought the confusion might be temporary, and that maybe he'd provoked a cure for it. When he realised it was endemic, he then gave up.
I agree with (regular commenter here) Antoine Clarke that Martin Johnson had insufficient experience as a coach to be the coach of England. My understanding being: none, when he got the job. In contrast, when Clive Woodward was appointed, he not only, like Johnson, had experience as a England player, but had already coached Henley, and then London Irish, both with considerable success. And did he not also do some coaching for Leicester? Plus, he had studied at Loughborough, which gave him an insight into all kinds of coaching philosophies and techniques. He also had quite a bit of business experience under his belt, having started his own company, again with considerable success. Basically, Woodward was ready for the job. When he had a disappointing World Cup in 1999, it was rightly decided that he was on the right lines and deserved another go. Johnson, on the other hand, having had a comparably disappointing World Cup in 2011, is not now believed capable of doing any better, and I am inclined to agree.
If I was Johnson, I'd jack in the England job, decide if I really wanted to be a rugby coach at all, and if I decided I did, go and coach the Twiddleborough Academicals for a few years, and get them promoted from Division 7 to Division 4 (or whatever they have down there), while making a living on the rugby public speaking circuit. Then become coach of Reading or Coventry or some such place. Then Harlequins or Leicester. If that doesn't appeal, get a normal job and have a normal life. Plus the public speaking engagements, on the basis of him at least having captained a successful World Cup team.
Trouble is, Johnson has the same problem Woodward now has whenever he tries to do anything not totally boring, which is keeping himself out of the newspapers.
As for the larger problems of the RFU, of who should run the thing, and how, I have no idea, but am very interested. So if you think you know about that and feel inclined to tell me what I should think about it, feel free.

WSAW - News Channel 7 - Watch WSAW - News Channel 7 Live TV from U.S. WI.
WSAW-TV (digital channel 7) is a CBS affiliate television station licensed to Wausau, Wisconsin and serving central and north central Wisconsin, United States. The station is owned by Gray Television and operates from studios at 1114 Grand Avenue in Wausau, and from a transmitter located on the summit of Rib Mountain in the Marathon County township of Rib Mountain (44° 55' 14.00" N, 89° 41' 28.00" W). The station also operates two translator stations in Sayner, Wisconsin, near the Eagle River area of far Northern Wisconsin (analog signal W57AR, channel 57, and digital signal W42DH-D, channel 42).
The station was launched on October 23, 1954 as WSAU-TV, but changed its call letters to WSAW-TV in 1981.
Originally WSAU-TV was operated from the Plumer Mansion on N. 5th St. in Wausau before moving to its current building at 1114 Grand Avenue in 1971. The Mansion was torn down in 1972. It's castle-like exterior and suit of armor displayed in the building inspired the station's graphic designer, Sid Kyler, to design a medieval-style "7" logo with a fully-armored knight cartoon mascot known as Sir Seven. The logo and mascot was used for several decades, until WSAW-TV's logo changed to a square-style 7 in the mid 1990s. The logo was replaced by the current circle-style 7 in 2006. WSAW-TV is now WSAW-DTV as of February 2009. You can watch your favorite CBS and WSAW programming in HD.

As the North/West Passage has continued to expand its efforts to coordinate traveler information and operations across state borders, it has also expanded its reach to include additional operations oriented staff in the member agencies. The program also has goals to support the coordination of planning and programming ITS deployments in the corridor. For most of the states, these expanded efforts require the engagement of agency staff beyond the steering committee representative.
The first task in the project was to assess the following existing outreach tools that the North/West Passage has developed and continues to update. A survey was distributed and the results of the survey recommended that members continue to use each of the tools and they should continue to be maintained. Members uses of the materials varies but includes requesting funds for participation in the program and updating managers on North/West Passage activities.
The second task included developing additional outreach material based on the results of the survey. Some of the member state requested a state specific benefits summary. Summary documents were prepared providing background on the overall program, state specific financial benefits and information on previous and current projects with state specific results.
The last task for the project focused on conducting peer exchange efforts and funding travel for these outreach opportunities. Two outreach opportunities were supported through this project.
Rural TMC/TOC Operations Peer Exchange – A peer exchange for Project 8.2: Concept for Rural TMC/TOC Operations was held in Cheyenne, WY on March 11, 2014. Representatives from Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota received information about rural TMC/TOC operational concepts in Wyoming, Idaho, and Minnesota.
Citizen Reporting Peer Exchange – A citizen reporting peer exchange webinar was held in Fall of 2014. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss states' interest in citizen reporting and review approaches and experiences with citizen reporting in Wyoming and Idaho.


A new group of education experts is constituted to advise the education ministries worldwide. The group named as "Atlantis Group" will comprise of 20 former education ministers and heads of states. The group was launched in Dubai at the Global Education & Skills Forum (GESF) 2017.
Members of the global group include Arne Duncan, former United States Secretary of Education under President Obama, former United Kingdom Education Secretary Michael Gove, former Greek President George Papandreou, former Lebanese Minister Elias Bou Saab, and former Peruvian Minister and incoming Head of the World Bank Education team, Jaime Saveedra.
The group will act as an advisory body to the ministries and departments that are dealing with issues related to education in their respective country. Views and recommendations of the group members will help the countries to improve their education practices.
Irina Bokova (Director-General, UNESCO), Andreas Schleicher (Director of Education and Skills, OECD), and Professor Fernando Reimers (Faculty Director, International Education Policy at Harvard University) will be the advisors of the group.
Initially, the group will work on future of education leadership at all levels, including the political leadership.

Ballycowan Castle, Co. Offaly.
Location – Along the Grand Canal just outside of Tullamore to the West.
OS: N 295 252 (map 48)
Longitude: 7° 33' 29.61" W
Latitude: 53° 16' 33.84" N
GPS: N 29467 25171 (Accuracy – 8m)
Description and History – This castle is an absolute gem. I had a lot of fun exploring what this castle had to offer and I don't think I saw it all. It is somewhere that often comes to mind and I want to go back and explore it again. This castle is situated in the banks of the Grand Canal although it predates it. It was built in 1589 as a fortified house by Thomas Morres on the site of a former O'Molloy castle called Baile-mhic-Abhainn which was destroyed by fire in 1557. The five storey tower of the castle was built in 1626 by Sir Jasper Herbert and his wife Lady Jane Finglas. The land was granted to Herbert during plantations. The castle remained in the Herbert family until 1666 when it passed into the hands of the Earl of Mountrath. Possibly surrounded by a bawn wall the SW portions of this castle are now missing and a certain amount of rubble still remains at the site. The ground floor is partially underground and consists of four barrel vaulted chambers which functioned as kitchens and storerooms. It was in here that I had the most fun. Where a large chunk of wall had collapsed it has punctured a hole into one of these chambers. I climbed inside and had a look around the dark chambers. Considering these chambers have taken severe blows from falling walls they cannot be too stable but I took the risk. I couldn't access all the chambers as some were blocked off.
A very interesting aspect of this castle is its chimneys. There are six visible chimney stacks. Three are bunched together, two sit together and one sits on its own. These are visible from quite a distance and led to the castle being nicknamed the 3-2-1 after its chimneys and it became a meeting point along the canal.
Difficulty – I was a bit confused about access here. There is a stile into the field with the castle, yet part of it is clearly in the grounds of a farmhouse. I tried to ask permission so nobody was home so I only looked at the part of the castle that was in the adjacent field.

This is a translation of one chapter of Franco La Polla's book "Star Trek: Foto di Gruppo con Astronave." Almost all of the books on Star Trek were written in a relatively thoughtless manner, put together in haste to make money. In contrast to them, La Polla's books on Star Trek are rare precious gems of high intelligence.
Impossible exchange is an impossible subject. In Jean Baudrillard's book "Impossible Exchange", the matter is treated in such a way that one is better off with an associative and meditative interpretive approach than with a discursive reading.
I begin with a quotation. "The child is innocence and forgetfulness, a new beginning, a sport, a self-propelling wheel, a first motion, a sacred Yes", writes Nietzsche in Zarathustra. The child is innocent because s/he starts all over again from scratch. S/he starts from the space of emptiness that the lion has carved out.

I think it is important to also remember that while the rights delineated in the Amendments are considered sacred, they are not and never have been absolute. Legislative bodies have always outlined their limits with the consent of the majority of the citizens. Limitations on the protocols surrounding gun ownership and use are no different than limits on free speech or free exercise. Sometimes the limits may go too far as in Adams era and WWI era sedition acts or, for some people, not far enough when tolerating the hate speech of groups like Westboro Baptist Church. Nonetheless, the legislation  whether it is speech regulation or background checks and magazine capacity limits  is an attempt to keep the rights relevant, not undermine them.

Awesome! Can't wait to see one!!
About time TMC orders some new trucks.
With that said... how can they claim they've had the first 579? Maybe the first major order. I recall seeing a Long Haul Trucking 579 not too long ago, unless this press release is out dated somewhat.
It's not portrayed very well, but you are correct there are several fleets out there that already have 579s (Long Haul Trucking, Werner, etc.), but I just didn't type the title correctly... It's meant to say TMC takes delivery of their first Peterbilt 579. Sorry for any confusion that may have caused.
When I read the article, I was under the impression that it was Peterbilt's first 579 built heading to TMC, not TMC's first 579.
I don't think I've seen a 579 for TMC. I'll have to keep a lookout!
I didn't even know you could get them with side stacks! Awesome!
I just saw this on facebook, I think they look SO sharp!!
Is that an aftermarket visor?
Black and chrome sure does look good! Way to much of a hassle to keep clean> IMO.
Where are they going to put the sign light? Maybe on the mirror bracket. Either way, I've basically only seen 579's browsing on TruckPaper, it actually looks really good with the visor and lights ready for the road.
It looks really, really good! Wow, I'm actually surprised and Impressed!!
I never seem to understand the double bunk option for a fleet(s) with predominantly solo drivers. I know, resale, blah blah blah....thank god my Pete at Marten was before they ordered them with double bunks.
The chrome bumper option will be a BIG improvement in the look.
Very nice trucks. I see from the earlier facebook posting and pictures they are ditching the supersingle tires as well.
The chrome bumper will really dress the 579 up nicely.
Much better with that polished bumper! But this design still needs full chassis skirts to look right. The aero cab, hood and the sleeper look gangly without the chassis skirts. IMHO.
Wow! That looks really sleek and modern! Awesome!
Here's a youtube video I found on TMC's facebook page. First 579 double bunk.
Thinking real strong of doing the dummy-stack thing on my 50 KW. All it will ever do is idle over to ATHS shows, & single stack always sounds better. Exception to that is 2 exhaust manifolds, one per stack, so no "Y".
I know it looks better but, why would you waste money to buy an extra dummy stack? I mean it does nothing and it adds a little drag to a fleet truck.
If I remember correctly, TMC's initial 579s ordered had the dummy stacks and as the order has progressed into newer model years, they now come included with both functioning exhaust. Maybe single exhaust was the only option available at the time Peterbilt introduced the 579 and has later been revised.
Either way they sure do look sharp for being 579's. Too bad others don't follow in their footsteps.
Very nice looking rig for a aero truck even with dummy stack it will give the driver something to polish in his spare time. Bob.
Dummy left hand stacks have been common for several years on the traditional cabs too.. with all the emissions equipment, it became difficult to route the pipes to the DPF without running a-foul of something under the cab - so a dummy stack and a pipe that terminates under the cab provides symmetry. My mind tells me the customer should just eliminate the left air cleaner, do with a single RH exhaust and go with a 70's look.
Just found a video of a driver giving a tour of his 579 interior.
Just read a news article that TMC ordered another 1500 Peterbilt 579s in a multi year agreement.
I'll have keep my eyes peeled. All the 389s they ordered awhile ago went through Allstate Peterbilt in South St Paul MN.
