laws, regulations and other regulatory measures related to cetaceans
The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) uses an intelligence led risk based enforcement model to direct enforcement activities and resources. Any intelligence received by the MMO in relation to offences against cetaceans or anthropogenic impacts in MPAs designated for them is considered and appropriate enforcement action taken. As part of the Marine Licensing process for offshore construction, the MMO require and monitor the implementation of Marine Mammal Mitigation Protocols (MMMPs) to mitigate against harm and disturbance to cetaceans, including for piling work on wind farms.

Section: Current Government programs related to cetacean conservation
Theme: Conservation Management plans
surveillance and monitoring is conducted by a number of organisations
2.1 UK surveillance and monitoring programme
The Sea Mammal Research Unit has used spatial modelling to estimate abundance and explore species-habitat relationships of cetaceans in European Atlantic waters. The analysis combined data from SCANS-II (surveyed in 2005), CODA (surveyed in 2007) and the Faroes block of TNASS (surveyed in 2007). Species for which abundance could be estimated were: harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), white-beaked dolphin, white-sided dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, short-beaked common dolphin, striped dolphin, long-finned pilot whale, minke whale, fin whale, sperm whale, and all beaked whale species combined. Preliminary results were presented in December 2011 to the Biennial Conference on Marine Mammal Biology in Tampa. Recently discovered minor issues with the processing of the SCANS-II and CODA data, which are currently being addressed, will alter the results very slightly. The final results will be available later this year.
Annual monitoring of bottlenose dolphin and harbour porpoise populations continued in Cardigan Bay, West Wales using photo-ID (bottlenose dolphin) and line transect survey (both species) (Veneruso & Evans, 2012). After earlier (2001-07) increases, abundance estimates of the bottlenose dolphin population of Cardigan Bay Special Area of Conservation show a general decline. In 2011, the overall Cardigan Bay abundance estimate for bottlenose dolphin was 296 (CV=28.8) and for harbour porpoise was 990 (CV=27.1), from line transect surveys. Life history parameters measured from photo-ID for bottlenose dolphin indicate a mean annual birth rate of between 5.2% and 7.7% (2001-11) depending upon whether a closed or open population model is adopted; an inter-calf interval ranging from 2-5 years, with 3 years being the most common; and calf mortality rates of 20.4% (year 1), 24.5% (year 2), and 10.2% (year 3) (Veneruso & Evans, 2012). Bottlenose dolphins from Cardigan Bay disperse in winter and generally move northwards in November to waters between Anglesey and the Isle of Man (and probably beyond) where they largely remain until the following April (Veneruso & Evans, 2012). Acoustic studies using TPODs and C-PODs have been undertaken between 2009-12 (Hanna Nuuttila, PhD student, University of Bangor), extending other acoustic monitoring & research by SWF within Cardigan Bay SAC (Simon et al., 2010; Meier, 2010; Nurminem, 2010; Wahlberg et al., 2011).
In Jersey, the marine biology section of the Societe Jersiaise receive and collate information from the public concerning cetacean sightings. This data is available online. Sighting data is also recorded by the States of Jersey Fisheries Protection Vessel. Dolphins were sighted on 18 separate occasions in 2011. This was a decrease on 2010's figures, but still higher than most previous years and above the 10 year average (Fig. 10). All sightings were identified as bottlenose dolphins. Sightings occurred mainly to the north, east and south of the Island ranging from Les Écréhous in the north to Les Minquiers in the south. In total 124 adult dolphins and 15 Juveniles were observed. Juveniles represented 12% of sightings in 2011, compared to 9% in 2010, 10% in 2009 and just 3% in 2008. Pattern and frequency of patrols was reduced in 2011, with days at sea slightly less than in 2010 due to section re-structuring.

UK Marine Protected Areas for cetaceans
The 28 species of cetacean recorded in UK waters are protected within a strong legal regime which encompasses both international commitments and national laws. Ten Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are in place within UK waters specifically naming cetaceans as a qualifying feature and 31 MPAs specifically naming cetaceans as a non-qualifying feature.
The following MPAs are in place within UK waters and specifically name cetaceans as a qualifying feature.
Cardigan Bay/Bae Ceredigion SAC with bottlenose dolphin considered as a qualifying feature.
Pen Llyn a`r Sarnau/ Lleyn Peninsula and the Sarnau SAC with bottlenose dolphin considered a qualifying feature, but not a primary reason for site selection.
Moray Firth SAC with bottlenose dolphin considered as a qualifying feature.
Skerries and Causeway SAC with harbour porpoise considered as a qualifying feature.
Southern North Sea SCI, harbour porpoise qualifying feature
Bristol Channel Approaches SCI, harbour porpoise qualifying feature
West Wales Marine SCI, harbour porpoise qualifying feature
North Anglesey Marine SCI, harbour porpoise qualifying feature
North Channel SCI, harbour porpoise qualifying feature
Inner Hebrides and the Minches SCI, harbour porpoise qualifying feature
Other protected areas including other Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Nature Conservation Marine Protected Areas (NC MPAs), and Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) are in place for other features in the UK (and the management measures associated with them) which will indirectly contribute to the conservation of cetaceans in UK waters. Web-based Site Information Centres now exist for all designated offshore sites, detailing site summary information, and regularly updated information on conservation objectives, data and management.

UK Threats and Measures
Section: Current threats to cetacean conservation and management measures taken/proposed
Theme: Bycatch
The two main species affected by fishing in UK waters are the harbour porpoise and the shortbeaked common dolphin. All Reports to the European Commission on activities conducted by the UK under Regulation 812/2004, and under Article 12(4) of the Habitats Directive, provide details of the monitoring work undertaken and estimates of bycatch.
A dedicated monitoring scheme is operated by the SMRU, while collaborative links with the three fishery research laboratories in the UK also allow selected observations from the Discard Sampling Programmes to be included in our assessment of cetacean bycatch. The observer scheme relies upon good collaborative links with industry. Nevertheless fisheries regulations were enacted in England and Scotland to ensure that there is also a legal obligation for skippers and owners to take observers when asked to do so.
In June 2010, a Scottish Government project "Entanglement of minke whales in Scottish waters: an investigation into occurrence, causes and mitigation' was published. The report can be found at the following link: www.smru.stand.ac.uk/documents/347.pdf
Implementation of methods to reduce bycatch
Work on mitigation continues to focus on the use of one specific type of acoustic deterrent device (DDD). These devices (DDD03F) are being used in the UK component (outside 12NM) of the midwater pair trawl fishery for bass in the Western English Channel with continued success. Avariant of the same device (DDD03H) has been adopted by the over 12m gill and tangle net fleet in the Western Channel and Celtic Sea. Observations on this fleet segment have shown the effectiveness of these devices in minimising porpoise bycatch by over 90% in nets of up to 4km in length, but the effect on common dolphins is not yet clear.
The UK was pleased to provide a voluntary contribution of £10,000 to the IWC small cetacean fund in 2011. The UK was also pleased to provide financial support contributing to the work of the IUCN's (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Western Gray Whale Advisory Panel. We have also commissioned research into 'The Contribution of Marine Protected Areas to Protecting Highly Mobile Species in English Waters'.
Through membership of the Agreement on the Conservation of Small Cetaceans of the Baltic, North East Atlantic, Irish and North Seas (ASCOBANS) the UK helped secure funding for 3 projects in 2011/12:
• Examination of habitat exclusion and long-term effects of pingers;
• Extension of the contract for the coordinator of the North Sea Plan for harbour porpoises for a further six months;
• Kaliningrad CPOD project submitted by Baltic Fund for Nature Results of these projects will be presented next year.
The UK will also host the seventh Meeting of Parties to ASCOBANS in October 2012.
The Scottish Government let a contract to the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) in January 2012 to undertake strands of research in three key marine themes, including marine renewables. The focus of this work programme will include: mapping out the current marine research landscape with respect to marine mammals and marine renewables and identifying any data/research gaps, quantifying potential risks to marine mammals from marine renewable energy and identifying management and mitigation measures where appropriate building on ongoing work in this area. This research programme will complete in 2015.

REVIEW: Collective Rage at Open Stage of Harrisburg (+ Season 33 Preview!)
Tags: harrisburg, open stage of harrisburg, theatre
I attended two events (barely 12 hours apart) at Open Stage of Harrisburg this weekend, so I am now calling myself a regular patron of the theatre.
On Friday, I went to the theatre's production of Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties. The show follows five very different women named Betty as they confront and discover their views on women including sex, gender identity, anger, strength, happiness, and love. It's a powerhouse production that is unapologetically blunt as it shatters the stereotypes surrounding women.
Stuart Landon, Producing Artistic Director, describes Collective Rage as "very Open Stage;" the theatre's current season has been focused on spotlighting and empowering strong female protagonists, and Collective Rage has five of them.
No matter how you view yourself, you can find yourself connecting with the struggles, fears, and hopes of each character as they wrestle with who they are and how they interact with one another. It's definitely heavy, but the quips and chemistry of the cast really make the show entertaining and fun to watch.
Collective Rage runs through Sunday. Buy tickets here.
I was lucky enough to score an invite to the Company's Cabaret Brunch and Season 33 Announcement the next morning, which was fantastic. (Smoked Trout Catering did a phenomenal job – check them out!)
During brunch, several members of the Company's staff and cast performed pieces from the Theatre's current series and previewed numbers from the upcoming season.
It was announced that Season 33 will focus on "coming of age" stories, as the Theatre has been inspired by the recent collective action and power of teens and young people across the country.
Season 32 was Open Stage's most successful season yet and Season 33 looks like it's going to be just as great! Check out what's in store for 2018-2019:

Michel Bastarache, né le  à Québec, est un juge canadien. Il a siégé à la Cour suprême du Canada de 1997 à 2008. Auparavant, il était juge à la Cour d'appel du Nouveau-Brunswick.

Biographie

Enfance et jeunesse
Michel Bastarache naît dans la ville de Québec, au Canada, le 10 juin 1947. Son père, Alfred Bastarache (11 janvier 1921), est un médecin de campagne originaire de Bouctouche, au Nouveau-Brunswick. Quant à elle, la mère de Michel, Madeleine Claveau (27 février 1918), est une garde-malade québécoise de Chicoutimi. Michel Bastarache est l'ainé d'une fratrie de quatre enfants soit trois garçons et une fille prénommés dans l'ordre : Michel, Marc, Monique et Jean.

Études
Michel Bastarache obtient un baccalauréat en arts concentration économie et sociologie de l'Université de Moncton en 1967. Durant cette même année, il rencontre Yolande Martin et les deux se marient au mois d'août 1968.

À la suite d'une discussion avec son père, il décide de poursuivre des études en droit à l'Université de Montréal dont il obtient un diplôme en 1970. Quelque mois après l'obtention de son diplôme, le juge à la cour provinciale du Nouveau-Brunswick, Joseph Zénon Daigle, l'approche pour travailler sur la consolidation et la traduction des lois de la province. Avec Michel Darras, un collègue dans son groupe de travail, il crée la Corporation des traducteurs, traductrices, terminologues et interprètes du Nouveau-Brunswick (CTINB) à Fredericton. Il démissionne en juillet de l'année suivante face au refus de Rodman Logan, unilingue anglophone et Ministre du Secrétariat de la province et Ministre du travail, d'être rémunéré au même titre que les juristes diplômés de l'Université du Nouveau-Brunswick.

Il entreprend ensuite des supérieures de droit public à l'Université de Nice en droit international et constitutionnel.

En 1978, il obtient un baccalauréat en droit (common law) de l'Université d'Ottawa.

Carrière
Au cours de sa carrière, Michel Bastarache a milité pour les droits des minorités linguistiques.

Il contribue à mettre sur pied la Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne (FCFA) en 1979. Par la suite, Michel Bastarache dirige en 1982 la Commission Poirier-Bastarache qui mène à la reconnaissance de l'égalité des deux langues officielles au Nouveau-Brunswick.

Michel Bastarache copréside le comité du Oui au Nouveau-Brunswick lors du référendum sur l'Accord de Charlottetown en 1992. Il est aussi conseiller électoral du Parti libéral du Canada lors de l'élection de 1993.

En raison de ses activités politiques, la nomination de Michel Bastarache à la Cour suprême du Canada, en 1997, suscite la controverse. Le Parti réformiste du Canada lui reproche alors ses liens avec Jean Chrétien et le Parti libéral du Canada. Le Bloc québécois quant à lui s'inquiète de ses convictions fédéralistes affichées puisque cette nomination survient alors que la Cour suprême se prépare à entendre le renvoi relatif à la sécession du Québec.

Le , il est nommé par le gouvernement Charest à la tête d'une commission d'enquête sur le processus de nomination des juges au Québec. Cette commission est créée à la suite des affirmations de l'ancien ministre de la Justice Marc Bellemare sur l'existence de trafic d'influence dans le processus de nomination.

Le diocèse catholique de Bathurst, au Nouveau-Brunswick, retient ses services en 2010 afin d'entreprendre des négociations qui pourraient mener à une compensation des victimes d'agressions sexuelles commises par des prêtres. Le rôle de Michel Bastarache est d'identifier les victimes, puis de les rencontrer individuellement afin d'évaluer la gravité des geste commis et le montant de la compensation à leur verser.

En 2010, il est nommé juge au Tribunal indépendant intérimaire de règlement des différends constitutionnels du Kenya.

Depuis 2018, Bastarache est avocat-conseil au sein du cabinet de litige bilingue Caza Saikaley srl/LLP à Ottawa.

En décembre 2019, il publie sa biographie, Ce que je voudrais dire à mes enfants, aux Presses de l'Université d'Ottawa.

Il est nommé Compagnon de l'Ordre du Canada en 2009 pour sa contribution et son engagement envers les communautés francophones et acadiennes du Canada.

Q: what is the easiest way to finding a match between values I am trying to find the matching value between two object values. I can iterate the array each time to get it.
But I am looking for some great simplest way ... any one help me?
here is what i look for :
let values = [
  {
    "handlingFee": "0.65",
    "min": "0",
    "max": "50000"
  },
  {
    "handlingFee": "0.60",
    "min": "50000",
    "max": "150000"
  },
  {
    "handlingFee": "0.55",
    "min": "150000",
    "max": "999999999"
  }
];

var findHandlingFee = function(){
    return values[0].handlingFee;
}

findHandlingFee(3000); //handlingFee": "0.65
findHandlingFee(5010); //handlingFee": "0.60"
findHandlingFee(300000); //"handlingFee": "0.55"

A: You can use find method which accepts as parameter a callback function.

let values = [ { "handlingFee": "0.65", "min": "0", "max": "50000" }, { "handlingFee": "0.60", "min": "50000", "max": "150000" }, { "handlingFee": "0.55", "min": "150000", "max": "999999999" } ];

var findHandlingFee = function(value){
    return values.find(function(item){
       return item.min <= value && item.max >= value;
    }).handlingFee;
}

console.log(findHandlingFee(3000)); //handlingFee": "0.65
console.log(findHandlingFee(50010)); //handlingFee": "0.60"
console.log(findHandlingFee(300000));

A: You can use array#filter method.It will return an array but can customize the return condition

let values = [{
    "handlingFee": "0.65",
    "min": "0",
    "max": "50000"
  },
  {
    "handlingFee": "0.60",
    "min": "50000",
    "max": "150000"
  },
  {
    "handlingFee": "0.55",
    "min": "150000",
    "max": "999999999"
  }
];

function findHandlingFee(val) {
  return values.filter(function(item) {
   // return that object where the val is between max and min value
    return +item.min <= val && +item.max >= val;

  })
}
//[0] since filter return an array,getting only object in 0 index
console.log(findHandlingFee(3000)[0].handlingFee);

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - The grandson of tobacco giant R-J Reynolds might be considered the black sheep of the family.
Patrick Reynolds spoke to nearly 3,500 students Tuesday morning about the dangers of smoking. The students were brought from area schools to an aircraft hangar at Pensacola Naval Air Station.
Reynolds has become a national advocate for a smoke-free society. He talked Tuesday about his father's death from smoking, tobacco's addictive nature and other inherent risks of using tobacco.
Reynolds also spoke to about 5,000 sailors. He is scheduled to address a second group of students at the air station on Thursday.
During his three-day tour, Reynolds will address 10,000 students from a two-county area.

La Phoenix Shot Tower, conosciuta anche come Old Baltimore Shot Tower, è una torre per pallini in mattoni di Baltimora, nel Maryland, costruita nel 1828 per la produzione di proiettili di piombo. Al momento della sua costruzione era l'edificio più alto degli Stati Uniti d'America.

Storia

Tra la fine nel XVIII secolo e i primi decenni del XX secolo, il metodo più utilizzato per la produzione di pallini di piombo per moschetti e altre armi da fuoco di piccolo calibro era il sistema brevettato dall'inglese William Watt nel 1782: dalla cima di una torre vuota all'interno il piombo fuso veniva fatto passare attraverso un setaccio in modo da creare delle gocce che cadevano lungo tutta l'altezza della struttura. Durante la caduta l'attrito dell'aria faceva sì che le gocce, raffreddandosi, si trasformavano in sfere lisce e regolari. I pallini cadevano quindi in una grande vasca di acqua fredda situata sul fondo della torre, dalla quale venivano recuperati e smistati a seconda della dimensione.

La Phoenix Shot Tower era una delle quattro torri per proiettili di Baltimora, e l'unica arrivata fino al giorno d'oggi. Fu realizzata nel 1828 su progetto dell'architetto Jacob Wolfe e si stima che per la sua costruzione siano stati utilizzati 1,1 milioni di mattoni. La prima pietra fu posata da Charles Carroll, al tempo l'ultimo dei firmatari della dichiarazione d'indipendenza degli Stati Uniti d'America ancora in vita e uno degli uomini più ricchi del paese.

La torre era in grado di produrre mediamente 1 milione di sacchi da 25 libbre di pallini ogni anno, ma in caso di guerra la produzione poteva essere aumentata.

L'impianto rimase in funzione fino al 1892, quando nuove tecniche di realizzazione dei pallini lo resero obsoleto e non più conveniente da un punto di vista economico. Nel 1921 la Union Oil Company acquistò la torre con l'intenzione di abbatterla e costruire al suo posto una stazione di servizio, ma incontrò una forte resistenza da parte degli abitanti della città. Venne organizzata una raccolta fondi e pochi anni più tardi un gruppo di cittadini riacquistò la torre e la donò alla città di Baltimora affinché fosse conservata.

Nel 1971 la torre è stata classificata come National Historic Landmark e il 14 ottobre 1975 è diventata City Landmark della città di Baltimora. Nel 1976 è stata aperta al pubblico come museo.

Descrizione

La torre ha forma troncoconica, con un diametro di 12,2 metri (40 piedi) alla base e 6,1 metri (20 piedi) in cima. Le pareti sono state costruite completamente in mattoni e hanno uno spessore di 1,4 metri per i primi 15 metri di altezza, quindi si restringono gradualmente fino ad arrivare ad uno spessore di 55 centimetri sulla sommità. Le fondazioni si spingono per oltre due metri all'interno del terreno. Per la realizzazione della torre si stima siano stati usati 1,1 milioni di mattoni.

All'interno della struttura trovano posto una scala a chiocciola di ghisa, alcuni piani in acciaio e un ascensore.

La torre raggiunge complessivamente i 71,4 metri di altezza e al momento della sua costruzione era la struttura più alta degli Stati Uniti, record che mantenne fino al completamento della chiesa della Trinità a New York nel 1846.

Religious and Cultural Foundation of Reconciliation: The "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" in South Africa as a Suitable Model for Rwanda and Burundi
Egide Ndayisenga
Santa Clara : Santa Clara University, 2017.
Licentiate in Sacred Theology (STL)
William O'Neill
The problem this thesis tackles is the difficult cohabitation between two ethnic groups found in Rwanda and in Burundi, namely Hutus and Tutsis. From the time of Independence, these two countries have known different tragedies, conflicts, lack of tolerance and exclusion of the other because of a gradual loss of deep cultural values that had sustained commonality and mutual respect for many years in both countries. The colonial rule and missionaries have contributed to the exacerbation of differences between Hutus and Tutsis by neglecting or erasing those values. Violations of human rights and genocidal acts that the history has recorded in those countries are rooted in that loss. The experience of South Africa through the work of the "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" which succeeded in bringing together South Africans, whites and blacks, can be tremendously inspiring for Rwanda and Burundi. The success of the South African's process lay in the taking into account, in a harmonious way, of religious considerations of forgiveness and reconciliation with the African jurisprudence of Ubuntu which supports togetherness, harmony, inclusiveness rather than separateness or apartness. In the same way, Burundi and Rwanda whose populations are in their majority Christians can take advantage of this model of reconciliation especially because they have values that are close in meaning and effectiveness to the value of Ubuntu, values that need to be retrieved for a better future of these countries.

Datto explains cyber resilience strategy to MSPs at Datto's fourth MSP Technology Day
Datto CISO Ryan Weeks details a practical strategy MSPs can use to develop their cyber resilience capacity in a way that will not overwhelm them, while also introducing some new product features designed to strengthen this capacity.
On Thursday, Datto held their fourth annual MSP Technology Day, a half-day virtual event with the theme of explaining to MSPs how to move beyond providing cyber security, and provide cyber resilience for both their customers and themselves.
"A lot of the things Datto has done over the past several years is protect MSPs, and we think of that as cyber resilience," said Ryan Weeks, Datto's CISO. "That's a fairly new concept for MSPs. They think of becoming cyber secure, which involves getting your defenses to the point where nothing bad will happen. Cyber security focuses on things to protect, and what to do if those controls fail. Cyber resilience goes beyond that, to cover the additional things MSPs need to be resilient and to deal with breaches, and provide disaster recovery and incident response. Cyber resilience is a combination of protection, response and recovery. It's thinking about things you need to do to respond to incidents in the security world."
Weeks cited the exploitation of the zero day vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange Server by state sponsored hackers that just took place of an example of the specific need for cyber resilience.
"Many MSPs had many customers affected," he stated. "The scale for many of them was staggering. It's hard to keep up if you don't have robust response and recovery capabilities. No amount of controls alone would help. You need response and recovery, which is the other part of the equation."
Weeks' keynote at the event laid out a practical strategy MSPs can take on their journey to becoming cyber resilient.
"My keynote laid out a path to becoming cyber resilient, which looks at several common frameworks that already exist, and how to leverage them in chunks to achieve objectives," he said. "You can spend weeks inside of some of them to break it down into smaller chunks. For example, start with CIS controls until you reach a point where you fork off to NIST. CIS is more accessible, so it is a good place to start. When they get to a certain point, they have enough confidence that they can pivot to the NIST CSF. It's all about breaking it down and making it accessible. That's important, because many MSPs feel it's all too complicated and don't know where to start. This is a way to get started that's very accessible for them."
Weeks acknowledged that only a small percentage of MSPs have reached the minimum level of cyber resilience necessary to protect themselves and their customers, but he strongly emphasized that there is a willingness to get there.
"I would say that probably around 90% of MSPs are not there yet, but one thing gives me hope," he said. "When I went to my first DattoCon in 2017, MSPs didn't get security as a service at all. Every MSP now is doing that today. They understand that it's to protect themselves as well as their customers. So you have to give credit for the progress that has been made, even though for most of them it has not yet been completed.
"If they don't make these achievements on this own, they might be for forced to do so by regulation," Weeks added. "I hope as a community we can come together on a common framework instead."
Weeks said that most RMM/PSA vendors talk about the need to get better organized around security, but that the results really haven't been there.
"I believed very strongly that through sheer will in 2019 we could create a community of vendors that would collaborate and increase security as a whole, and we DID bring vendors together in a threat intelligence community," he commented. "Everyone understands that if any one RMM gets breached, it makes us all look bad. But not enough vendors have come together to play well in the sandbox. Some are defining their own frameworks. That's part of the reason why at MSP Technology Day we focus on frameworks that already exist. We need to get MSPs involved in the conversation. This kind of work needs to be done for MSPs by MSPs, although ultimately funded and sponsored by vendors. Vendors getting together and telling MSPs what to do isn't necessarily a winning formula."
Datto made a pair of product enhancements at the event designed to help MSPs become more cyber resilient. One is Datto RMM Ransomware Detection, which complements other security applications like antivirus to reduce the impact of cyberattacks. It monitors endpoints for unusual encryption activity, immediately attempts to terminate the ransomware process, isolate the infected device and prevent the ransomware from spreading through the network.
"The RMM Ransomware Detection feature will ultimately be a low-cost add-on for RMM," Weeks said. "Right now, we are offering it for free, for a limited time."
Weeks said that this solution is designed as a fail-safe in case attackers beat other defenses.
"This doesn't mean you can get rid of your AV," he noted. "We love our EDRs and next-gen AVs, but attackers know how to bypass them, so another layer of defense doesn't hurt. This is for when all else fails. We do that in a way that the MSP can access this through the RMM to clean it up and discover. You don't actually want the anti-ransomware in your core RMM. You want it separate so if ransomware gets into the RMM, you can kill it. We've also added automation capabilities, which is what cyber resilience is all about. Cyber resilience needs to be automated for MSPs to do it at scale. MSPs aren't going to succeed in competing for cyber talent. They need to achieve the same results through processes, like network isolation and other automated response activities."
The other enhancement is Datto Cloud Deletion Defense, which protects backups stored in the Datto Cloud from both accidental and malicious deletion.
"We are announcing this, now but have been running it in our cloud for months," Weeks stated. "It's the ultimate last line of defense. Attackers try to destroy backups, and we never want to have a backup destroyed through a malicious actor. Datto Cloud Deletion Defense is the backstop for that. When the attacker clicks a button to destroy the backup, we ensure there is a copy of that data in our cloud."
Datto Cloud Deletion Defense is available both for the SaaS platform and for Datto BCDR.
"We are really focusing on the BCDR version of this though," Weeks said.
Finally, last week, Datto announced that it had acquired BitDam, which makes a cyber threat detection platform that protects collaboration tools like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace from ransomware, malware and phishing. Weeks said that MSPs want to know when this will be integrated within the Datto platform, but unfortunately, it's too early to give any clear answer.
"They are excited, and want to know more about when it is coming," Weeks noted. "BitDam has amazing talent and a really effective product, and it made too much sense not to make that acquisition. It is very synergistic with our SaaS backup as well. Our focus now though is on bringing the team into Datto. In terms of when the product is integrated, I can say that it will definitely be this year, although I know that's very broad."

NEW CONCORD, Ohio -- With their playoff hopes on the line, senior Marisa Liburdi's layup with 0.6 seconds left sent the Heidelberg University women's basketball team home with a win and an OAC Tournament berth. The Berg defeated Muskingum University 79-77 on Saturday afternoon -- their first win in New Concord since 2010.
Heidelberg improves to 9-16, 6-12 and clinches the No. 7 seed in the OAC Tournament. Muskingum falls to 10-15, 6-12 in OAC play. The Student Princes will travel to No. 6 seed Mount Union (12-13, 7-11) on Monday.
Theresa Jackson led all scorers with 29 points and nine rebounds. Carli Patrick finished with 12 points and nine boards.
"Games like today reiterate why we play," said head coach Morgan Harrigan. "Battling every possession for your team so you can have the opportunity to do it at least one more time."
Liburdi's heroics came as part of a madcap final minute of play. Musky's Mallory Taylor turned a two-point deficit into a two-point lead with four free throws in the span of 19 seconds left. Her fourth foul shot, coming with 1:00 left, gave the home team a 73-71 lead.
On the ensuing possession, fearless freshman Brittanie Ulmer stepped into a 3-pointer from the left wing and buried it, putting the Tricolor up, 74-73.
Following a Musky miss, Jackson snared the board. After a timeout, she was fouled coming through a screen on the inbound. With play halted, Ulmer was whistled for a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct. Taylor drained the pair of freebies, pushing MU back up by a point.
At the other end, Jackson hit on her first free throw, but missed her second. On the carom, Ulmer was tackled by Hallie Stocker. Injured on the play, Ulmer was unable to shot the corresponding foul shots.
In stepped senior Cassidy Frank, who calmly tickled the twine twice.
Down two, Stocker drove and was fouled. Stocker hit the first, but missed on the second. Mariah Pearson was there to grab the board.
After advancing the ball via timeout, Heidelberg turned the ball over on the inbound. On the ensuing possession, Olivia Besancon was fouled and split a pair of free throws with 3.6 seconds left to tie the game at 77.
Another timeout brought the ball to Heidelberg's half. The inbound from Stiles found Frank in the corner. Frank lobbed the pass over a pair of MU defenders to Liburdi, who placed it off the glass for the two-point lead with 0.6 seconds left.
A wide open Muskingum 3-pointer at the horn rimmed out sending the Student Princes into the tournament and knocked the Muskies out.
"We're happy to get an opportunity to compete in the conference tournament," said Harrigan. "I couldn't be more proud of the the grit we showed today."
The Student Princes got off to a slow start, trailing 11-0 midway through the first quarter. The Muskingum run was stopped after a jumper by freshman Maddi Stiles.
A three by the sharp-shooting Cassidy Frank cut the deficit to 14-8 with two minutes remaining in the opening quarter. A baseline drive from Jackson just before the end of the period brought the score to 20-14 after one.
Down by seven, Patrick hit a 3-pointer to cut the score to 27-23 with five minutes before the half. The shot provided a momentum swing for the visitors -- as they went on a 10-0 run to pull ahead 30-27.
A Maggie Davault 3-pointer with less than two minutes before the half pushed the HU lead to 35-28. After a Muskingum free throw, a three from Patrick rattled in for a 9-point advantage.
Following a small Muskingum run, a Stiles layup at the buzzer gave the Student Princes a 40-34 lead at the break.
The Muskies used the long ball to claw their way back into the game in the third quarter. Alexandra Carson and Olivia Besancon hit 3-pointers to pull the Muskies to within four points. Frank answered at the other end with a triple to push the HU lead back to 51-44.
Following a Muskingum timeout, the home team responded with a 9-0 run to take a 53-51 lead with 3:17 remaining in the third quarter.
Besancon drained a 3-pointer with under a minute left in the third quarter to give Muskingum a 62-60 lead heading into the final period.
HU answered after Carson hit a triple with 2:56 remaining to take a 69-68 lead. An off-balance Davault jumper pushed the Berg back in front, 70-69. Stiles split a pair of free throws to give the visitors a two-point lead, which set up the frantic final moments.
The Heidelberg bench outscored Muskingum, 22-7.
Heidelberg has won in the opening round of the OAC tournament in each of the past two seasons -- including a thrilling 84-80 victory against the Purple Raiders in 2015.
Harrigan: "The girls played for each other today ... Theresa Jackson was unstoppable all game ... Carli controlled the glass ... Maddi and Maggie were our leaders ... Mariah brought her spark-plug energy ... Britt hit a huge three to take the lead ... Cass stepped in and knocked down huge free throws and had an excellent pass to set up Marisa for the winning basket."
Tip off in Alliance is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Adult tickets are $8.00 and non-OAC student tickets are $3.00. Senior tickets (62 and over) are $6.00 and OAC student admission is free.

Gorrie Ice Machine, Patent Model
This model was submitted to the U.S. Patent Office with the application for the patent issued to John Gorrie, of New Orleans, Louisiana, May 6, 1851, no. 8080.
The model represents the first patent for a mechanical refrigerating or ice-making machine issued by the United States Patent Office. It is of additional interest in that the inventor successfully employed ice and cooled air in the treatment of tropical diseases, and for his work in this connection and the invention of the ice machine he is honored by a statue placed in Statuary Hall in the United States Capitol by the State of Florida.
The machine was designed "to convert water into ice artificially by absorbing its heat of liquefaction with expanding air." The model, made largely of wood, is diagrammatic only. It consists of a double-acting compressor cylinder and a double acting work or expanding cylinder, the pistons of which are connected to a crankshaft designed to be turned by a steam engine or other prime mover not shown. The air compressed in the compressor cylinder was cooled by the immersion of the cylinder in cold water, the injection of cold water into the cylinder and by passing the air through a worm immersed in a tub of water. The compressed air was led to a receiver and thence to the expanding cylinder, which was surrounded by a cistern of "uncongealable" liquid. The expansion or air absorbed heat from the liquid, which was circulated to a worm in a freezing tub where the liquid absorbed heat from water in the tub causing it to freeze.
This description comes from the 1939 Catalog of the Mechanical Collections of the Division of Engineering United States Museum Bulletin 173 by Frank A. Taylor.

THE PRAIRIE EDITOR: Election Day, 2016
In a few hours, the polls will close across the nation, and the
tumultuous and unanticipated 2016 presidential campaign
will be concluded, a new Congress will be elected, and
several state legislatures and governorships decided.
It has been quite a ride.
I have not endorsed any candidate for president to this
point, and in the spirit of not presuming to tell my readers
how they should vote, I will not do so now. Nor will I reveal
which candidate I am personally going to vote for.
What I will say is that I am going to mark my ballot much
less for a personality, and more for a candidate's party, what
it stands for, and whether it will advance the ideas, principles
and values that I believe in. I think such an approach might
be useful for any voter whether they are liberal, conservative
or centrist.
Whoever wins this election day will face obstacles and
challenges few new presidents have ever encountered. In
1933, Franklin Roosevelt entered the White House in the very
midst of an historic economic crisis which required, literally,
immediate attention. The crisis facing the nation today is
considerably less visible, but no less dire. In 1933, it was
primarily an economic catastrophe which had appeared. In
2017, the perilous circumstances of a transforming economy,
domestic and global, are accompanied by unprecedented
technological change, threats of terror, a dangerously weaker
U.S. military, a widespread failing educational system, a
looming crisis in American healthcare, and many more
serious issues. No matter who becomes president, he or she
will face the inevitable loss of half the full-time jobs in the
nation (due to robotics) within the next decade or two --- with
no now known source of jobs to fill the resulting employment
vacuum.
The United States has survived and flourished by continually
reinventing itself politically, socially and economically. Doing
this has enabled us to make it through 228 years, and to become
the world's most successful large nation, as well as the protector
of other, and smaller, representative democracies which face
natural and human-made threats.
We have reinvented ourselves with innovation and the practice
of liberty for two centuries, and now we must do it once again.
If we do not, the alternative is the unthinkable, but possible.
That is what truly is at stake when the votes of more than a
hundred million Americans are counted on November 8, 2016.

Exotics plays for Tropical Turf Stakes on Jan. 8
Largent wins the Fort Lauderdale Stakes (Photo by Lauren King/Coglianese Photos)
John Mucciolo
A field of seven will go postward in the $100,000 Tropical Park S. (G3) at Gulfstream Park on Saturday. The one-mile grassy endeavor is led by 2021 Pegasus Turf (G1) runner-up #1 Largent from the barn of Todd Pletcher. A winner of the 2020 Fort Lauderdale S. (G2) on the surface, Largent dons a fine 6-4-2-0 career mark at Gulfstream and has been training well in advance of his first run since the Pegasus last season.
The consistently very good son of Into Mischief has never finished worse than second in his lifetime, and the gelding has proven to be more than capable of firing his best shot from off the bench. Luis Saez will guide the Virginia-bred and have him tucked in just behind the pace to the top of the stretch while saving ground throughout. The race goes through the bay.
#4 Value Proposition is the main danger to Largent for conditioner Chad Brown. By the late Dansili, the six-year-old has plenty of back class to him, and he possesses the right running style to thrive on the course in his Gulfstream debut. The dark bay has notched stakes wins in two of his last three outings, with victories in the Oyster Bay S. and Red Bank S., the latter at this distance.
The dark bay does very good work at the trip with a 6-3-1-1 mark at a mile, and he will track the pace with interest prior to making his run approaching the turn for home. He loses Saez but picks up top pilot Irad Ortiz for the voyage.
#3 Phat Man is winless from five career tries on the green, but he has placed second on two occasions and the son of Munnings has a good deal of class to him. Conditioned by Kent Sweezey, the chestnut eight-year-old owns a big turn of foot on the dirt, and in a field with ample early speed signed on, I envision him making a run in the lane to grab a minor award at a fair price. The Kentucky-bred gelding will have Shaun Bridgmohan in the stirrups.

Preterm growth restriction and bronchopulmonary dysplasia: the vascular hypothesis and related physiology

Key points: Approximately 5–10% pregnancies are affected by fetal growth restriction. Preterm infants affected by fetal growth restriction have a higher incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The present study is the first to measure pulmonary artery thickness and stiffness. The findings show that impaired vasculogenesis may be a contributory factor in the higher incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm growth restricted infants. The study addresses the mechanistic link between fetal programming and vascular architecture and mechanics. Abstract: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is the most common respiratory sequelae of prematurity and histopathologically features fewer, dysmorphic pulmonary arteries. The present study aimed to characterize pulmonary artery mechanics and cardiac function in preterm infants with fetal growth restriction (FGR) compared to those appropriate for gestational age (AGA) in the early neonatal period. This prospective study reviewed 40 preterm infants between 28 to 32 weeks gestational age (GA). Twenty infants had a birthweight <10th centile and were compared with 20 preterm AGA infants. A single high resolution echocardiogram was performed to measure right pulmonary arterial and right ventricular (RV) indices. The GA and birthweight of FGR and AGA infants were 29.8 ± 1.3 vs. 30 ± 0.9 weeks (P = 0.78) and 923.4 g ± 168 vs. 1403 g ± 237 (P < 0.001), respectively. Assessments were made at 10.5 ± 1.3 days after birth. The FGR infants had significantly thicker right pulmonary artery inferior wall (843.5 ± 68 vs. 761 ± 40 μm, P < 0.001) with reduced pulsatility (51.6 ± 7.6 μm vs. 59.7 ± 7.5 μm, P = 0.001). The RV contractility [fractional area change (28.7 ± 3.8% vs 32.5 ± 3.1%, P = 0.001), tricuspid annular peak systolic excursion (TAPSE) (5.2 ± 0.3% vs. 5.9 ± 0.7%, P = 0.0002) and myocardial performance index (0.35 ± 0.03 vs. 0.28 ± 0.02, P < 0.001)] was significantly impaired in FGR infants. Significant correlation between RV longitudinal contractility (TAPSE) and time to peak velocity/RV ejection time (measure of RV afterload) was noted (r 2 = 0.5, P < 0.001). Altered pulmonary vascular mechanics and cardiac performance reflect maladaptive changes in response to utero-placental insufficiency. Whether managing pulmonary vascular disease will alter clinical outcomes remains to be studied prospectively.

The present study aimed to characterize pulmonary artery mechanics and cardiac function in preterm infants with fetal growth restriction (FGR) compared to those appropriate for gestational age (AGA) in the early neonatal period. This prospective study reviewed 40 preterm infants between 28 to 32 weeks gestational age (GA). Twenty infants had a birthweight <10th centile and were compared with 20 preterm AGA infants. A single high resolution echocardiogram was performed to measure right pulmonary arterial and right ventricular (RV) indices. The GA and birthweight of FGR and AGA infants were 29.8 ± 1.3 vs. 30 ± 0.9 weeks (P = 0.78) and 923.4 g ± 168 vs. 1403 g ± 237 (P < 0.001), respectively. Assessments were made at 10.5 ± 1.3 days after birth. The FGR infants had significantly thicker right pulmonary artery inferior wall (843.5 ± 68 vs. 761 ± 40 μm, P < 0.001) with reduced pulsatility (51.6 ± 7.6 μm vs. 59.7 ± 7.5 μm, P = 0.001). The RV contractility [fractional area change (28.7 ± 3.8% vs 32.5 ± 3.1%, P = 0.001), tricuspid annular peak systolic excursion (TAPSE) (5.2 ± 0.3% vs. 5.9 ± 0.7%, P = 0.0002) and myocardial performance index (0.35 ± 0.03 vs. 0.28 ± 0.02, P < 0.001)] was significantly impaired in FGR infants. Significant correlation between RV longitudinal contractility (TAPSE) and time to peak velocity/RV ejection time (measure of RV afterload) was noted (r 2 = 0.5, P < 0.001). Altered pulmonary vascular mechanics and cardiac performance reflect maladaptive changes in response to utero-placental insufficiency. Whether managing pulmonary vascular disease will alter clinical outcomes remains to be studied prospectively.
AB - Key points: Approximately 5–10% pregnancies are affected by fetal growth restriction. Preterm infants affected by fetal growth restriction have a higher incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The present study is the first to measure pulmonary artery thickness and stiffness. The findings show that impaired vasculogenesis may be a contributory factor in the higher incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm growth restricted infants. The study addresses the mechanistic link between fetal programming and vascular architecture and mechanics.

François-Léon Sicard (geboren 21. April 1862, Tours; gestorben 8. Juli 1934 in Paris) war ein französischer Bildhauer. Er gilt als einer der talentiertesten und doch größtenteils künstlerisch schwer fassbaren Bildhauer des späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Arbeiten umfassen Beiträge zum Skulpturenkomplex des Louvre sowie zahlreiche Skulpturen auf der ganzen Welt.

Sicard wurde in Tours geboren. Er studierte bei Louis-Ernest Barrias und ist bekannt für seine Bildhauerarbeiten und glühend patriotischen Originalkunstwerke. Trotz seiner Fruchtbarkeit und Arbeit in ganz Europa ist überraschend wenig über ihn bekannt. Seine Werke sind denen von Gustave Crauk (1827–1920) und Antoine-Augustin Préault (1809–1879) recht ähnlich, und möglicherweise hat er mit Crauk zusammengearbeitet.

Er war Mitglied der Académie des Beaux-Arts. 1891 gewann er den Prix de Rome.

Werke (Auswahl)
 Le Bon Samaritain (Der barmherzige Samariter)
 Oedipe et le Sphinx (Ödipus und  die Sphinx)
 Archibald-Brunnen im Hyde Park, Sydney, Australien
 vier Atlanten des Hôtel de ville in Tours, ca. 1900, Architekt Victor Laloux

Ruby Allen competed at the Shrewsbury Kids Fest on the 13/14 May in the S-Factor competition and the results have just come through. We are delighted to reveal that she came first! She'll now be performing on the main stage at the Food Festival and some other festivals as well. S Factor is a project bought together by the Shropshire Music Service in partnership with Kids Fest and Shrewsbury Food Festival to give youngsters the chance to play on the main stage at Shrewsbury Food festival and win some money!


The Horsham Fishing Competition is an event held on the banks of the Wimmera River over the Labour Day weekend each year.
There are cash prizes to be won, as well as a great variety of fresh Victorian fish to catch during this popular event.
There are some great fish swimming in the Wimmera River including Redfin, Murray Cod, Catfish, Yellow Belly and Silver Birch. Prizes include cars, boats, fishing trips, fishing equipment and cash prizes.
Each competitor is allowed to use two rods, with a maximum of two hooks per rod. Size limits of eligible fish shall be as per the current Victorian Fisheries Regulations, excepting European Carp which has no bag or size limit. Redfin, Golden Perch, Silver Perch, Catfish and Tench have a minimum size of 30cm, Murray Cod 55–75cm. Only carp measuring 30cm or greater will be weighed.
This family-friendly event is great for all ages, with heaps of great fishing spots all along the river. There is camping available along the river, both free and paid sites, so those wanting to stay for the whole competition can come along with their tent and have a great time!
Registrations are required and participants are not permitted to stake out their fishing spot ahead of the competition.


Let's face it – family reunions have a bad rep. From family drama, to the stress of everyone coming together, coming up with fun reunion activities and planning the entire event can be quite the undertaking. The goal is to plan an easy, carefree family gathering and help re-write the history of family reunions. From games and food, to décor and design, we've got the scoop to make your next family gathering a snap!
Family reunions are typically full of a variety of personalities and tastes. To ensure everyone gets what they want and no dietary restriction stress ensues, utilize the trendy option of make-your-own food bars! Everyone loves brunch, so how about setting up a simple and easy waffle bar, or a make-your-own Panini station? Guests can choose between breakfast, lunch or both, and all you need are waffles with multiple topping such as fruits and syrups, and a variety of breads, meats and cheese with a Panini press or regular grill! This provides everyone options without making a lot of work for the party setup! Another fun idea for family food? Send a quick email out to your relatives well ahead of the gathering asking what their favorite recipe is from the old family cookbook. The recipe with the most votes gets featured in the center of your food table for all to enjoy! Guests will appreciate this homage to family tradition and memories of all the times they've enjoyed this family favorite. Feeling extra crafty? Use the nominated recipes to create a new cookbook and include a story and photo from the submitting family member highlighting what makes the recipe special in their eyes.
It's time for everyone's favorite part of a family reunion—the games! Involve everyone in the family with our top reunion activities for an afternoon of enjoyment. First, try a new spin on an old favorite.Take an old white sheet or blanket, and paint squares on it to make a jumbo-sized checkerboard. Use cardboard to cut out 12 large circles and paint these red and black to make a life-size interactive checkers. Instead of sitting down and playing the traditional version between two people, use this fun and unique take on the standard to involve up to 12 members of your reunion (each person can be in charge of one giant game piece—all members of each team can congregate together to plan out their team's moves – "King Us".) Our next activity is just as interactive and fun: use spray paint to draw giant colored circles in your lawn for a home Twister game board! Write letters on a multitude of giant squares for an interactive giant group Scrabble game! And don't forget to provide something for the younger generation. Consider using old plastic soda bottles filled with bright food coloring and water and set up a homemade bowling alley for the kids!
These unique and easy ideas for your next familial gathering are sure to have the whole family raving, and looking forward to every reunion thereafter!.

I love these random links! Did I ever mention you have great taste?


I took a 20-hour LDC Midway Pass Course with Kate's LDC driving school following 23 hours with another LDC instructor, Cath Crowther. I would recommend Kate to anyone as she is very friendly and supportive and helped with anything I struggled with. The LD System is great at explaining in detail every aspect of driving, alongside the workbook which describes every part of the lessons I had. I found the whole experience very informative, and it prepared me for the standard of driving that the examiner expects. Overall, it has been a brilliant experience and I am so pleased to have passed!
I'm a driving instructor in Holmfirth, Honley, Brockholes, Thongsbridge, Meltham, Upperthong, Netherthong, Underbank, Scholes, Huddersfield, Newsome, Lockwood, Beaumont Park, South Crosland, Netherton, Crosland Moor, Marsh, Lindley, Edgerton, Paddock, Longwood, Outlane, Milnsbridge, Golcar, Linthwaite, Slaithwaite, Marsden, Almondbury, Waterloo, Kirkheaton, Dalton, Lepton, Grange Moor, Deighton, Birkby, Fartown, Brighouse, Clayton West, Skelmanthorpe, Scissett, Denby Dale, Cumberworth, Birdsedge, Shelley, Kirkburton, Shepley, Flockton and surrounding areas.


reasons explained in this review.
The story of the game is practically identical to the one of the movie.
Nazi villains join the chase.
the number of positions used for saving your game is more than adequate.
except for the arcade sequences, which could have used some more frames.
The sound effects are plentiful and well done, too. As for the music..
because it is full of arcade sequences. Well, that's not exactly accurate.
bought this game, I had neither a hard disk nor a second disk drive..
last trap.. not fun, dear LucasFilms, not fun.
a bad game at all.

Medicaid Redesign Team Recommendation #264
Lev Ginsburg
Director of Government Afairs
Extend HCRA Surcharge to Outpatient Services
The Business Council of NYS, representing over 3,000 businesses with over 1 million employees, opposes the Medicaid Redesign Team Recommendation #264 which proposes to expand the Health Care Reform Act (HCRA) surcharge of 9.63% to cover surgical and radiological services performed in private ambulatory centers, physicians' offices and urgent care settings. The proposal is estimated to "save" the state $100 million by adding costs to premiums which are among the highest in the country.
The HCRA surcharge is a tax on all hospital discharges in the State and is paid by all health insurers and benefit administrators. It results in higher premiums for all New Yorkers and makes health coverage increasingly unaffordable for businesses across New York State.
The HCRA surcharge imposed on private health insurance has increased 351% since the program was implemented in 1997. The current surcharge of 9.63% which is applied to hospital services generates approximately $2.3 billion annually. Currently, HCRA taxes alone add approximately 4% to the cost of every health care premium dollar. If this proposed expansion of the HCRA surcharge is enacted, it will increase that burden, creating yet more obstacles to the affordability and accessibility of health insurance to the majority of New Yorkers who access health insurance through the private market.
We oppose taxes on health insurance premiums and services and ask the Task Force to focus on the mission of re-engineering a Medicaid program which is the most costly in the country. Cost shifting to the commercial insurance market is not re-engineering; this proposal merely increases further the subsidy that private health insurance pays to sustain Medicaid. When the national and state debate is all about coverage and affordability, this proposed tax increase serves only to increase premiums and costs to all New Yorkers, with no associated benefit in terms of coverage.
For these reasons, we oppose Recommendation #264 of the Medicaid Redesign Team.


What A Find.... Original M1 Carbine Bayonet - M4 M1 Carbine Bayonet With M8 A1 Scabbard - Italian Made - AET Manufacture - Very Good to Excellent Condition This is the original military bayonet for the M1-Carbine .30 caliber rifle, complete with scabbard. These are original Italian manufacture & military issue and fit on M1 Carbine's (if equipped with a bayonet lug). They appear to be a re-issue as the scabbards are U.S. GI M8A1 with fresh web and paint. The scabbards may have some scratches from shipping but are in at least very good surplus condition. These bayonets have the brown plastic ribbed handles which may also show some light wear. The blades are marked "AET" and have 1950's-1960's dates. The bayonets have blades with issue numbers. Used in very good condition, these issued bayonets & scabbards may show mild wear but considering their age are in really good surplus condition. Ultra Rare. Note - Everything we have seen so far has been AET or FET marked as seen in the video however we have not been able to examine every single bayonet. The bayonets you see in the video are very representative of what you will receive but we can't guarantee that there will not be variances in manufacturer etc., however, conditions of bayonets and scabbards will be consistent.

Heroes and Homecomings: Norman Rockwell and World War II
Presenter: Jane Oneail
America's most beloved illustrator created dozens of images related to the second World War. What happens when an artist known for his use of humor tackles the serious subject of war? This program explores how Norman Rockwell's work departs from earlier artistic interpretations of American conflicts and considers how and why he chose specific wartime themes to present to the millions of readers of the Saturday Evening Post.

York Factory var ett befäst handelsfaktori anlagt där Hayesfloden mynnar ut i Hudson Bay. Det anlades 1684 av Hudson Bay Company, som ett av deras första faktorier och lades ner först 1857.

Kampen om York Factory
Mellan 1694 och 1697 kämpade England och Frankrike om kontrollen över York Factory. Under befäl av Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville erövrade en fransk styrka faktoriet 1695 och döpte om det till Fort Bourbon. Det återtogs av Hudson Bay-kompaniet 1695 och återerövrades av Iberville 1697. Det förblev under fransk kontroll till Freden i Utrecht 1713 vilken erkände Englands överhöghet över Hudson Bay.

Betydelse
York Factory var Hudson Bay-kompaniets viktigaste handelsstation vid Hudson Bay, men utsattes för kraftig konkurrens av pälshandlare från Montréal, som anlade handelsstationer vid Lake Superior och vid Lake Winnipeg. Faktoriets betydelse upphörde inte förrän på 1850-talet. Det var först en viktig handelsstation och blev sedan den viktigaste transithamnen för handelsutbytet. York Factory var också från 1810 den viktigaste hamnen för invandrare till västra Kanada. Faktoriets centrala betydelse upphörde omkring 1860 när både handelsvaror och immigranter tog andera vägar. Det förblev en handelsstation av regional betydelse och lades ned först 1957.

Cleveland Photographic Society
Photo Scavenger Hunt
About CPS
All About CPS
The Cleveland Photographic Society has been in continuous operation since its founding as the Cleveland Camera Club in January, 1887 - making it (by our research) the sixth-oldest organization of its type in the country. But far more important than a storied past is the fact that, after 125 years and counting, CPS is also stronger than its ever been - making it one of the largest and most active photography groups in the country.
CPS is: Photographers helping photographers.
One of the primary missions of the club is photographic education – and our calendar is full of events to help photographers of all levels expand their horizons and knowledge.
CPS is: Photographers helping the community.
Each year, CPS photographers donate thousands of hours photographing events for community service organizations in Northeast Ohio. Our efforts have twice been recognized with national awards from the Photographic Society of America.
CPS is: Field trips.
We pride ourselves on the frequency and diversity of the field trips we offer – many providing unique access to places not accessible to the general public.
CPS is: Competitions.
Sixteen times each year, members are presented the opportunity to enter images in club competitions. Outside judges review and comment upon each image entered, with an emphasis on helping each photographer learn and grow.
CPS is: School programs.
Three times each year, we offer classes in Fundamentals of Good Photography and Photoshop Elements Photo Editing. Each course offers a thorough yet personalized experience that can provide novice and intermediate photographers a solid grounding in every facet of the photographic artform.
CPS is: Welcoming.
We truly strive to make each visitor, guest and new member feel instantly welcome and a part of things. We offer a variety of photographic experiences meant to appeal to all interests and skill levels, challenges to encourage continuous growth - and personalized assistance to help each member become the photographer s/he wants to be.
CPS is: Proud of our history – and excited about our future!
Far from being a stodgy senior citizen as we celebrate 125 years, we are a vibrant, active and growing club that keeps pace with the constant evolution of the photographic art and embraces fresh ideas at every turn.
Check our web calendar and join us for a meeting or event. You can also email us.
We hold our meetings at:

Yoga is well-known for being good for limbering up the body and mind. Beer, too, has a reputation for loosening people up — so why not squeeze the two together into something everyone can enjoy?
That's exactly what Cameron Gunter did when she launched Bend and Brew three years ago, partnering with local breweries and taprooms to introduce yoga to beer lovers. Now under the ownership of Amah Mitchell and Michael St. Cole, Bend and Brew is stretching into its third season.
For some traditionalists, the idea of combining beer with yoga might seem a little strange, but the popularity of Bend and Brew is proof of the concept's success.
Bend and Brew is partnering with Catawba Brewing Co., Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Oskar Blues Brewery, Bhramari Brewhouse and Urban Orchard Cider Co. this year to bring the yoga experience to more beer drinkers. And the company is actively looking for more breweries to partner with.
But Bend and Brew is about more than just yoga and beer sampling, say the owners. It's "community-building around beer and yoga," and there's no place like Asheville for such a melding of cultures. "There's no better beer anywhere," says Mitchell.
St. Cole says every style of yoga is represented somewhere in Asheville, along with every style of beer, so it seemed a natural fit with infinite options. "I came here as a yogi and wound up a beer drinker," St. Cole laughs. "Every place has this bountiful harvest of something unique.
"I've become a total beer snob," he adds. "I grew up an upstate New York hillbilly. We had Genesee and Bud Light, so I didn't drink beer … until I finally tasted what you can really do with it. It's truly a joy." Conversely, and representative of the two cultures, Mitchell jokes that she came here as a beer drinker and wound up a yogi.
Of course, Bend and Brew isn't the only beer and yoga offering to be found in the area. Twin Leaf offers monthly beer and yoga sessions, Sanctuary Brewing in Hendersonville offers yoga with cats in the brewery, and other breweries have done one-off or intermittent events experimenting with the combination.
"[It's a] way of being reverent of the world and, at the same time, living in 2016, where sometimes you just need to chill out and imbibe the sacred beverage with your friends," says Mitchell.
Bend and Brew's weekly events are held at 11 a.m. Saturdays at Brahmari, Sierra Nevada and Urban Orchard; 2 p.m. Sundays and 4 p.m. Thursdays at Catawba's South Slope location; and noon Sundays at Oskar Blues.
On Monday, May 2, New Belgium Brewing Co.'s long-awaited Asheville facility will open its 6,000-square-foot Liquid Center tasting room, followed by brewery tours in the summer.
The riverside taproom's bars, tables and chairs were created from repurposed wood salvaged from the 18-acre site and crafted by local artists in keeping with New Belgium's history of sustainable practices. The space will include an outdoor deck on the French Broad River and a lawn for hosting events, including summertime bike-in movies.
New Belgium is at 21 Craven St. Tasting room hours are 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday to Saturday and noon-8 p.m. Sunday.


Masonic-Illuminati US Presidents? and The Bohemian Groove.
"Which presidents are in the Illuminati? The office of the President of the United States has long been suspected of being influenced by the Illuminati. The shadowy, mysterious, yet seemingly all-powerful group has been linked to virtually every American president, from George Washington to Barack Obama - and to almost every decision they've made while in office.
Conspiracy theorists see the number of presidents who have been Freemasons as indicative of Illuminati influence in the White House, as the two groups are closely linked. But Illuminati presidents have also been non-Masons, including almost all post-war office holders. The power and prestige of the office is thought to be under complete control of the Cabal, with all wars, economic situations, foreign policy crises, and environmental disasters staged by the Powers That Be.
Why would they do this? To make money, of course. And to cement their control over the masses, who are kept ignorant that their leaders are puppets and their elections staged. Of course, none of this might be true, the Illuminati might not exist, and maybe presidents are just normal people with a desire to lead. But what fun would it be to exist in a world without all-powerful puppet masters controlling our every move?
Here are the US presidents most likely to have been, or currently be, members of the Illuminati"
Young George Washington was initiated as a Master Mason, the highest beginning rank in the organization, then sworn in as a Worshipful Master of Alexandria Lodge No. 22. Additionally, the Bible Washington used when sworn in was from a Masonic lodge - and that Bible has since been used by a number of other presidents.
In a 1798 letter, Washington wrote "It is not my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati and the principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more satisfied of this fact than I am." Was this Washington throwing future historians off the trail of his Illuminati influence?
Thought to be an extremely high-ranking Illuminati member, Clinton is implicated in the deaths of hundreds of people killed so he could stay in power. He has also been involved in, yet never implicated, in numerous conspiracies, and has been a member at various times of the Skull and Bones Society, Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Rhodes Scholars, and the Council on Foreign Relations.
The boys begin to arrive at the Bohemian Grove on the Saturday closest to the middle of July for what will be a two-week encampment. In actuality, most of them will just attend during one or two of the three weekends included in the encampment, jetting in to the nearby Santa Rosa airport from all over the country, or driving up from San Francisco.
As they arrive, they first get settled at their camps, then wander around visiting with old friends. That night they have their first dinner in the huge open-air dining circle. They hear flowery welcoming speeches, they give a cheer to the "Old Guard," those who have been in the club for 40 or more years, and they pay their respects to the "Fallen Leaves," those who have died in the past year.
But the highlight of the evening is the Cremation of Care, an initiation into the spirit of the encampment. It is all very fancy. The script varies only slightly each year. It is also a put-on, a mock of rituals — but it is a ritual ceremony nonetheless. Postmodernists might call it a meta-ritual. It is meant to signal that the encampment is a time for relaxation, drinking, and fun. It is a return to the summer camp days of their youth.
To gain a sense of what it's like to take part, imagine yourself comfortably seated in the beautiful open-air dining hall. It's early evening and the clear July air is still pleasantly warm. Dusk has descended, you have finished a sumptuous dinner, and you are sitting quietly with your drink, listening to the nostalgic welcoming speeches and enjoying the gentle light and the eerie shadows that are cast by the two-stemmed gaslights flickering softly at each of the several hundred outdoor banquet tables.
"The 1970 Grove guest list is probably the most fascinating document available concerning the sociology of Bohemia. It reveals the guest, his host, and the camp at which he is staying. If such lists were available for a lengthy time span, they would provide the basis for an intimate understanding of the cliques and friendship patterns within the country's ruling circles. As it is, this one list tantalizes us with hypotheses and possibilities.
There were 341 guests at the 1970 encampment. They came from all over the United States (34 states), as well as from Mexico (6), Japan (3), and Spain, the Philippines, England, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, and Hong Kong (one each). The greatest number were from New York City (79) and Washington, D.C. (25). Some of the pairings are what we might expect. Louis Lundborg, chairman of the Bank of America, had as his guest Gaylord A. Freeman, chairman of the First National Bank of Chicago. David M. Kennedy, former chairman of the Continental Illinois Bank and Trust Company, then serving as Secretary of the Treasury, was the guest of Rudolph A. Peterson, president of the Bank of America. J. George Harrar, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, was the guest of Frederick Seitz, president of Rockefeller University. Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, chairman of the joint Chiefs of Staff, was the guest of one of his bosses, Deputy Secretary of Defense David Packard (a California multimillionaire in private life). A. Mims Thomason, president of United Press, was the guest of Jack R. Howard, president of Scripps-Howard Newspapers.
Nor are the several father-son teams surprising. For example, Edgar F. Kaiser of Kaiser Industries brought Edgar F. Kaiser, Jr.; Henry S. Morgan of the preeminent investment banking house of Morgan Stanley & Co., invited Charles F. Morgan; William A. Patterson of United Air Lines, hosted William A. Patterson, Jr.; and Frederic H. Brandi of the investment banking firm of Dillon, Read brought James H. Brandi.
More intriguing are several of the government-business pairings. Paul Rand Dixon, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, was the guest of oil man and Democratic fat cat Edwin W. Pauley. John D. Ehrlichman, a right hand man to President Nixon, was the guest of Republican fat cat Leonard Firestone. Walter J. Hickel, Secretary of the Interior at the time, and deeply involved in negotiations concerning the Santa Barbara oil spill, was the guest of Fred L. Hartley, president of Union Oil, the company responsible for said oil spill.
The club's board of directors has the right as a group to invite guests. Many of their guests were people in public life: Joseph Alioto, Mayor of San Francisco; Melvin Laird, Secretary of Defense; Alfred Nelder, Chief of Police in San Francisco; Peter J. Pitcbess, Sheriff of Los Angeles County; Samuel Yorty, Mayor of Los Angeles; and Ronald Reagan, Governor of California.
