Ме́зинський націона́льний приро́дний парк — національний природний парк в Україні, в межах Новгород-Сіверського району Чернігівської області.

Загальна площа парку становить 31035,2 га.

Історія
Мезинський національний природний парк було створено згідно з Указом Президента України від 10 лютого 2006 року № 122 на базі ландшафтного заказника загальнодержавного значення «Рихлівська Дача» (789 га), ландшафтних заказників місцевого значення «Мезинська Швейцарія» (154 га), «Урочище Криничне» (7 га), «Жуків яр» (118 га), «Зміївщина» (247 га), «Свердловський» (159 га), ботанічного заказника «Дубравка» (742 га).

Площа парку становить 31035,2 га, з яких 8543,9 га надаються парку в постійне користування. У гідрологічному заказнику місцевого значення «Покошицьке» охороняються евтрофні осокові болота, що розташовані у верхів'ї річок Студинка і Гусинець. Ландшафтний заказник «Мезинська Швейцарія» знайомить з виходами крейдяних порід, а в ландшафтному заказнику «Криничне» охороняється ландшафт з виходами джерел біля берега річки Десна. Заказник «Зміївщина» було створено з метою охорони дубово-соснових лісів з березою, на території «Жукового яру» охороняються ділянки листяних лісів з дуба, ясена, сосни, липи. Заказник «Дубравка» також було створено задля охорони дубових і липово-дубових лісів віком 80—100 років. Заказник «Коропський» відображає місцезростання середньовікових культур сосен, а у заплаві — насадження тополі. У заказнику «Вишенська дача» представлені дубові і дубово-соснові ліси. У заказнику загальнодержавного значення «Рихлівська Дача» переважають непритаманні для Полісся дубові, липово-дубові, грабово-дубові ліси, з деревами віком 200—300 років.

Природні умови

Терени Мезинського національного природного парку належать до Новгород-Сіверського Полісся, Новгород-Сіверського фізико-географічного району та простягаються вздовж правого берега річки Десни.

Кліматичні умови території парку, як і клімат Новгород-Сіверського Полісся, більш континентальний, ніж в інших поліських областях. Зима відносно холодна та сніжна. Середня річна температура повітря становить +6 °C, січня — −7,9 °C, липня — +19,4 °C. Безморозний період триває близько 160 днів. Середня сума опадів становить 590—640 мм, більша частина яких випадає теплої пору року. Середня тривалість періоду зі стійким сніговим покривом становить 110—115 днів, середня висота снігового покриву — 21-22 см.

Поверхневі води
Землями парку протікає річка Десна із невеликими правобережними притоками — річками Студинка, Головесна, Хвостинка, струмками Восковаха, Бистриця і Ровчак.

Долина Десни багата на заплавні озера (загалом на території парку розміщено 17 озер). Особливо їх багато на ділянці між селами Курилівка та Радичів. За походженням, водойми є старицями р. Десни, що від'єдналися від річища.

Заплавні озера розташовані у заплаві Десни та приналежні, переважно до центральної та притерасної частин лівобережної заплави. Під час водопілля вода озер-стариць оновлюється. Більшість озер мають низькі, часто заболочені береги, густо зарослі кугою, осоками, рогозом та очеретом. Навесні ці озера заливаються паводковими водами і є чудовими нерестовищами для більшості риб. Заплавні озера з часом заростають та замулюються.

Найбільшими є озера: , Бабне, Старик, Широке. Крім того, в заплаві розташовані озера Криве, Десенка, Тихе, Московське, Великий та Малий Кружок, Вир, Хинене.

На лівому березі Десни навпроти села Радичів, розкинулося одне з найбільших деснянських озер — . Його площа перевищує 40 га. Східний берег озера витягнутий вздовж соснового бору, а західний — низький, заболочений, густо порослий прибережною рослинністю. Озеро цілорічно з'єднано з Десною вузьким проточним рукавом. В останні роки на озері  влітку відбувається активна ефтрофікація (збагачення водойм біогенними елементами), замулення та «цвітіння води».

Неподалік від урочища «Пузирева гора» майже біля русла Десни на її лівому березі розташоване невеличке гарне старичне озеро — «Озеро Підкова», яке має чітку підковоподібну форму.

Болота посідають незначні площі і розташовані на півночі парку двома невеликими масивами.

Ґрунти
Основними ґрунтоутворювальними породами є лесоподібні суглинки. Переважними ґрунтами є сірі опідзолені пилувато- легкосуглинисті й супіщані та дерново-середньо-підзолисті та опідзолені чорноземи. На схилах ярів представлені ці ж ґрунти, але різного ступеня змитості. У центральній та північній частині Мезинського національного парку на схилах ярів та балок переважають дерново-підзолисті супіщані і суглинисті ґрунти, а також сірі опідзолені суглинисті ґрунти на лесоподібних суглинках. Південна та західна частини парку в заплаві Десни заболочені. Ґрунтовий покрив тут переважно представлений торфами та дерновими оглеєними і глеюватими ґрунтами. Надзаплавні тераси складені потужними пісками з дерновими слабопідзолистими та світло-сірими лісовими ґрунтами.

Флора
Однією з особливостей території парку є відсутність великих територій, зайнятих однорідною рослинністю. Лісистість території парку становить 43 %, під луками зайнято — 16 %, болотами 2 %, водами — близько 4 % території. Вододільні простори розорані і зайняті сільськогосподарськими угіддями, частка яких становить близько 35 % території парку.

Природна рослинність цієї території не зазнала значних змін внаслідок діяльності людини, вона представлена лісами, чагарниками, луками, болотами та водним і прибережно-водним типами рослинності. Переважним типом рослинності є лісовий, в якому мають більшість дубові, липово-дубові, кленово-липово-дубові ліси, в яких дуб завжди утворює перший ярус з домішками інших порід. Другий ярус створюють липа серцелиста та клен гостролистий. В лісах добре розвинуті яруси підліску та травостою.

Дубові ліси посідають значні площі в центральній частині парку на схилах ярів і балок різних експозицій ухилом від 5° до 30°, а також покривають плато на нерозораних ділянках. Серед дубових лісів переважають середньовікові та достигаючі, стиглих деревостанів збереглося мало. Для них притаманний середньобонітетний і високозімкнутий (0,7) одноярусний деревостан, утворений віковими дубами. Вони досягають 23—27 м висоти і мають стовбури 113—138 см в обхваті. Густий підлісок утворює висока (до 5 м) ліщина. В трав'яному покриві переважають, залежно від екологічних умов, яглиця звичайна, зірочник лісовий, осока волосиста, підмаренник пахучий.

Липово-дубові та кленово-липово-дубові ліси, основні масиви яких зосереджені в урочищі «Дібровка», що біля села Великий Ліс, посідають вузькі міжбалкові шпилі та круті (25—35°) схили. За віком переважають середньовікові та достигаючі деревостани. Перший ярус утворений дубом з домішкою ясена. Вікові дуби досягають 23—25 м висоти з діаметром стовбурів 35—40 см. Другий ярус нижчий на 4—6 м, утворений липою серцелистою та кленом гостролистим. Густий і високий підлісок утворює ліщина. В травостої переважають яглиця звичайна та осока волосиста.

В західній частині парку, в урочищі «Рихлівська Дача», поширені похідні грабово-дубових лісів. Одноярусний і дуже густий деревостан в різних співвідношеннях утворюють граб звичайний, дуб, ясен, осика, береза повисла, липа серцелиста. Ці ліси цікаві тим, що граб звичайний тут росте на східній межі свого поширення.

На давніх порубах дубових, липово-дубових, кленово-липово-дубових лісів виникають похідні гаї, представлені осиково-березово-широколистяними лісами, які розміщені переважно в східній частині парку, та березовими лісами, що зростають у його північній частині.

Луки на теренах парку зосередженні переважно в заплаві Десни, в меншій мірі у заплавах її приток — Студинки, Хвостинки, Криски, Восковухи, заплави яких тут частіше заболочені. В межах парку заплава Десни має ширину 2—4 км і відзначається відсутністю заплавних лісів та незначною кількістю чагарників. Це свідчить про активне використання у минулому луків для сіножатей та пасовищ.

Заплавні луки представлені справжніми і болотистими луками. Серед перших переважають лисохвостові та тонкомітлицеві. Лисохвостові скупчення посідають вирівняні та плоскі гриви в прирусловій, рідше в центральній частинах заплави, а тонкомітлицеві — підвищені місця в прирусловій і центральній частинах заплави. Дані угруповання відзначаються густим (90—100 %) і високим (70—90 см) травостоєм, які нараховують у своєму складі до 30 видів. Зниження навколо старичних озер посідають болотисті луки, представлені угрупованнями бекманії звичайної та мітлиці повзучої. На схилах південних експозицій балок, місцями в плакорних умовах прияружних ділянок, трапляються ділянки суходільних луків, представлених скупченнями тонконога вузьколистого.

Болота на території парку зосереджені в заплаві Десни та її приток і не обіймають значних площ. Болотна рослинність представлена евтрофними трав'яними болотами, серед яких переважають зосередження осоки гострої та лепешняка великого. На теренах парку багато стариць та старичних озер, більша частина яких заросла частково чи цілком. В них переважають скупчення тілоріза алоєвидного та стрілолиста звичайного.

Докладне вивчення флори та фауни парку ще попереду, за попередніми даними тут відзначено зростання 220 видів судинних рослин, з них до Червоної книги України віднесено водяний горіх , сальвінію плавучу, пальчатокорінник м'ясочервоний та травневий. Два перших види охороняються також згідно з Бернською конвенцією. На території парку помічено наявність 5 водних рослинних скупчень, занесених до Зеленої книги України: ділянки глечиків жовтих, латаття білого, латаття сніжно-білого, водяного горіха, сальвінії плавучої.

На території Мезинського НПП виявлено 116 видів мохоподібних: один вид антоцеротів, 12 — печіночників і 103 види мохів (Вірченко, 2014). Бріофлора парку відрізняється від типової поліської відсутністю торфових мохів, а також видовим багатством родин поттієвих і брієвих, представники яких властиві для різних відслонень (зокрема, лесів, крейди), остепнених схилів та рудеральних місцезростань. Тут знайдено низку рідкісних мохоподібних. Так, три види (лейоколея різноборідкова, грімія беззуба, полія виводкова) виявилися новими для Українського Полісся, а ще 14 таксонів — для Лівобережного Полісся.

Фауна
У парку мешкають 204 види хордових тварин: 30 видів риб, 9 — земноводних, 3 — плазунів, 143 — птахів та 19 — ссавців. Із рідкісних видів, занесених до Червоної книги України, тут відмічено 68 видів: дозорець-імператор, вусач мускусний, джміль пахучий, кордулегастер кільчастий, махаон, стерлядь, мідянка звичайна, пугач звичайний, лелека чорний, журавель сірий, змієїд, лунь степовий, горностай, видра річкова, норка європейська та ін. Із видів, занесених до Європейського червоного списку, у парку мешкають вовк, деркач, п'явка медична, коромисло лучне, гноєїд рогатий, мурашка рудий лісовий та ін., загалом 14 видів тварин.

На теренах парку мешкають також 42 види мисливських тварин, зокрема заєць сірий, бобер річковий, лисиця, єнотоподібний собака, гуска сіра, гуска білолоба, гуменник, крижень, шилохвіст, свищ, куріпка сіра, перепілка звичайна, лиска, курочка водяна, турухтан, коловодник лісовий, коловодник болотяний, перевізник, бекас, дупель та ін. Із видів, що підлягають особливій охороні згідно з Бернською конвенцією, на території парку відмічено мешкання 71 виду тварин: норець малий, бугай, бугайчик, шуліка чорний, канюк звичайний, чапля велика біла, рибалочка, бджолоїдка звичайна, одуд, ремез, щиглик, кумка червоночерева, ропуха зелена, квакша звичайна тощо.

Території природно-заповідного фонду у складі НПП «Мезинський»
Нерідко, оголошенню національного парку або заповідника передує створення одного або кількох об'єктів природно-заповідного фонду місцевого значення. У підсумку, великий НПП здебільшого поглинає раніше створені ПЗФ. Проте їхній статус зазвичай зберігають.

До складу території національного природного парку «Мезинський» входять такі об'єкти ПЗФ України:
 Ландшафтний заказник загальнодержавного значення «Рихлівська Дача»
 Ландшафтний заказник місцевого значення «Жуків Яр»
 Ландшафтний заказник місцевого значення «Зміївщина»
 Лісовий заказник місцевого значення «Вишенська Дача»
 Ботанічний заказник місцевого значення «Дубравка»
 Ландшафтний заказник місцевого значення  «Криничне»
 Ландшафтний заказник місцевого значення «Свердловський»
 Ландшафтний заказник місцевого значення «Мезинська Швейцарія»
 Ботанічна пам'ятка природи місцевого значення «Багатовіковий дуб»
 Ботанічна пам'ятка природи місцевого значення «Старовинна ялинова алея»

Археологічні об'єкти
На території парку розташовані близько 50 пам'яток археології. Серед них всесвітньовідома Мезинська палеолітична стоянка, вік якої нараховує майже 20 тисяч років. Село Мезин розташовано на березі Десни за 47 км від районного центру смт Короп. На теренах села у 1908 році було виявлено поселення кроманьйонців доби пізнього палеоліту — родового колективу періоду матріархату. Основне заняття його — полювання на диких тварин. Тут знайдено залишки жител, що будувалися з кісток мамутів. Надзвичайну цінність мають знахідки творів найдавнішого мистецтва — орнаментовані статуетки з бивня мамонта, фігурки тварин, меандрові браслети, цілий набір музичних інструментів з кісток тварин, розфарбованих червоною вохрою. Нині на місці стоянки діє археологічний музей. Багато пам'яток різних епох та археологічних культур збереглося у селах Бужанка, Курилівка, Свердловка, Радичів, Черешеньки.

Book Review: Dreyer's English
Many years ago as an undergraduate, I was an English major, which means I spent a great deal of time reading the classics, writing critiques, and reviewing the finer points of the art of writing. Most of those finer points that I spent a untold hours (but quite told dollars) to learn are probably gone from my knowledge bank at this point. I don't know because I can't remember. I guess this means that I have a more relaxed writing style than some of my old professors may care for. Oh well. I certainly won't find many arguments against a more relaxed, but disciplined writing style from Benjamin Dreyer. In his new book, Dreyer's English, Dreyer goes over a whole host of writing rules that authors (aspiring, experienced, or otherwise) will find helpful, eye-opening, and – at times – potentially frustrating.
This is not to insinuate that Dreyer is incorrect in any of his suggestions, recommendations, or rules. Rather, this is to suggest that contemporary English has become so out of whack with the basic rules that we sometimes write in a piecemeal method akin to how Dr. Frankenstein built his monster (shout out to anyone who has read Dreyer's English).
What struck me while reading this book was the fun, playful humor that Dreyer embeds into an otherwise dry, drab, sometimes angry subject. Some of you may recall your English classes as boring or dull or, worse, instructed by someone who was either of these two unfortunate descriptors. I'm glad to say that I did not have that experience (and thus, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in English). But I do feel for those of you who may have had poor instructors and now are plagued with a poor appreciation for the rules of our English language.
Perhaps my favorite part of the book – and a comment that I agree with – is that rules are made to be broken. Of course, you have to know the rules before you break them. I'm with Dreyer on that stance. Yes, go ahead and end a sentence with a preposition if you want to. However, be sure to know what the rules are around why some folks don't like to have sentences end with a preposition.
For those of you who underwent a rigorous education in the grammatical arts, you'll find Dreyer's English to be a great refresher and also a fun trip down what I hope is a pleasant memory lane. For those of you who are not as familiar with the strange peculiarities that make up the English language, you might find this book to be filled with the rules and grammatical laws that have evaded you. Or a playful read. Or both. Whatever. (Another shout out to those who read the book and its fun footnotes.)
Just a final comment, while this book is a fun read and enjoyable for those of us who like linguistics, I was a bit disappointed at the unnecessary distraction added by the often awkward and off-topic insertion of the author's politics. Early in the book, he takes a shot at the Bush family. Later, he uses Donald Trump, Jr., as an example in a rather derogatory way. He swipes at President Trump in a footnote that looks, feels, and reads laboriously crowbarred into the book. There are other awkward shots at anything not Democratic or left-of-center littered throughout the book including a bizarre footnote where he comments that he originally used the verb "trumps" in an example but he now has an aversion to using that verb. Frankly, it's creepy for someone to see politics all around them, including in verbs. Break free, people. Don't let politics run (ruin?) your life.
These types of unnecessary political distractions are awkward in a book about the English language. Of course, part of my frustration with politics being included is that I vehemently reject the politicization of everything in today's society. The English language should not be politicized. Excess fall backs to political commentary is also why I followed and then, sadly, stopped following the author on Twitter.
The whole world doesn't need to be political. And, this may be just me, but I've begun to become uninterested* in people who only see the world and all of its marvelous elements in shades of Democratic blue and Republican red. Do better, everyone.
*A third shout out to those who read the book. I am uninterested in those who see politics in all shades of life, even linguistics. This is because I am disinterested in politics. There's a difference, as Dreyer explains.
That unhappy note aside, I'm a fan of this book and I appreciated the humor that Dreyer used in his writing. This was a fun read and as someone who never picks up a brand new book, I am glad that I broke with my historical book-buying approach and purchased this one. If you're into the English language and its many oddities, then give Dreyer's English a try. I think you'll enjoy it!

FOX News Calls the Governor's Election for Chris Christie!
FOX News Projects a Christie Win
FOX News has called the 2009 New Jersey Gubernatorial election for Republican challenger Chris Christie. As someone who voted for Chris Christie and, really, against Jon Corzine let me be among the first to say – thank God!
That said, I do think that it is important to remember that this is New Jersey and, even though 83% of precincts have reported and the vote stands at 49% for Christie and 44% for Corzine, anything can happen. But for now – it's exciting to know that the voters in New Jersey made the right decision by getting rid of Jon Corzine. The Republican Governors Association has already called this win (along with the big win in Virginia earlier tonight) a turning point for the Republican Party. Their website boasts that comeback begins with Virginia and New Jersey…and so let the drums begin beating for 2010 already, huh?
It looks like the vote by mail ballots have not been counted yet in New Jersey. As a guy who votes by mail, I'm a little concerned about that. Stay tuned for additional information as the night – and the vote counting – continues… And hey, is anyone watching the Mayoral election in New York City right now? With 85% of the vote counted, incumbent Independent Mayor Michael Bloomberg is up with 50% of the vote to his opponent's Thomson's 47% of the vote. That's significant when you consider that Mayor Bloomberg spent upwards of $100 million on this campaign and some estimates have Thompson's expenses at just $3 million. Definitely something to watch in New York City.

With Even More Precincts Reporting, The Gap Closes
Now that we are at about 58% of the precincts reporting in New Jersey, it looks like Republican challenger Chris Christie has 50% of the vote to Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine's 44% of the vote. That's close. In fact, that's too close for comfort if you're a Christie supporter.
But be wary, folks. Large portions of Camden and Essex counties and many of the New York City suburbs have not reported their election results yet. These are areas that are notorious for voting the Democratic ticket for no reason other than that it is the Democratic ticket. These are also areas where there was talk a few weeks ago about a gigantic increase in vote by mail ballot applications along with some talk about the possibility that ACORN was helping to register voters. Something tells me that if these counties come in strong for Corzine (which everyone expects them to) and in enough numbers to sway the vote that there is going to be an explosion of citizen rage in this state.
We're tired of corruption in New Jersey and we're tired of paying for crooked politicians and their lies.

Some Updates on the Election
A little while ago I wrote that with 5% of the electorate counted thus far, Republican challenger Chris Christie was up in the Garden State with 55% of the vote to Democratic Governor Jon Corzine's 38% of the vote. Well, more numbers have come in and it looks like with 35% of the electorate in Christie leads Corzine with 52% of the vote to 42%, respectively.
The major X factor in all of this are the Democratic counties in New Jersey, namely Essex, Camden, and Hudson counties. These are counties where a large portion of the population votes for the Democrats just because there is a "D" after their name on the ballot (that's not even a joke). Unfortunately, many of our fellow citizens in these counties believe that the Democrats will help them with their struggles…even though they haven't done a damn thing for this state in the last 20 years. But I digress.
Again, with 35% of the vote counted, Christie has a 10 point lead over Corzine.

Девід Вудфілд (,  11 жовтня 1943, Лімінгтон-Спа) — англійський футболіст, що грав на позиції захисника. По завершенні ігрової кар'єри — тренер.

Ігрова кар'єра
Народився 11 жовтня 1943 року в місті Лімінгтон-Спа. Вихованець футбольної школи клубу «Вулвергемптон». Дорослу футбольну кар'єру розпочав 1961 року в основній команді того ж клубу, в якій провів дев'ять сезонів, взявши участь у 250 матчах чемпіонату. Більшість часу, проведеного у складі «Вулвергемптона», був основним гравцем захисту команди.

1971 року перейшов до клубу «Вотфорд», за який відіграв 3 сезони. Завершив професійну кар'єру футболіста виступами за команду «Вотфорд» у 1974 році.

Кар'єра тренера
Завершивши виступи на футбольному полі, отримав пропозицію від колишнього партнера по «Вулвергемптону» Френка Вігнолла приєднатися до нього у тренерському штабі збірної Катару, куди того було призначеного головним тренером 1975 року. Робота в Катарі для англійського тандему завершилася 1976 року, проте Вулфілд вирішив залишитися в Азії, де він пропрацював протягом більш ніж 30 років, спочатку як тренер футбольних команд різних рівнів, а згодом понад десятиріччя викладав англійську мову школярам у Малайзії. Остаточно повернувся на батьківщину лише 2011 року.

Найвідомішим періодом тренерської кар'єри Вулфілда була робота з національною збірною Саудівської Аравії, тренерський штаб якої він очолював з листопада 1978 до квітня 1979 року. Під його керівництвом саудіти провели 10 матчів, в яких тричі перемогли і п'ять разів зіграли унічию при двох поразках. Зокрема керував діями саудівської команди на Кубку націй Перської затоки 1979 року, на якому було здобуто бронзові нагороди.

Due to this, the remaining band members took up songwriting which made the songs they created more intimate and personal. It is common for a web to be about 20 times the size of the spider building it. It has been proposed by some that this could be used as a method of documenting and measuring the toxicity of various substances. As a result, the video cuts to a black-and-white sequence where wireline telephones knock down the large windows in the room and begin wrapping around No Doubt and the wedding patrons and trapping them. Most spiders have three pairs of spinnerets, each having its own function — there are also spiders with just one pair and others with as many as four pairs. The spaces between each spiral and the next are directly proportional to the distance from the tip of its back legs to its spinners.
During the process of making an orb web, the spider will use its own body for measurements. The figure on the left is an optical microscope image of glue balls.

Science Magazine, American Association for the Advancement of Science. Spiders gradually started using silk for hunting purposes, first as guide lines and signal lines, then as ground or bush webs, and eventually as the aerial webs that are familiar today. Artificial spider webs are used by the superhero to restrain enemies and to make ropes on which to swing between buildings as quick transportation. More radials are added, making sure that the distance between each radial and the next is small enough to cross. This was unusual, because Earth webs have been observed to have uniform thickness.

Both spiders took a long time to adapt to their weightless existence. For example, if a spider has chosen to wait along the outer edges of its web, it may spin a non-sticky prey or signal line to the web hub to monitor web movement. At high velocities, they function as an elastic solid, resembling rubber; at lower velocities, they simply act as a sticky glue.
Spiders do not usually adhere to their own webs, because they are able to spin both sticky and non-sticky types of silk, and are careful to travel across only non-sticky portions of the web.

As insects are spiders' main prey, it is likely that they would impose strong selectional forces on the foraging behavior of spiders. Webs are also featured in many other.
Administering certain drugs to spiders affects the structure of the webs they build. However, constructing the web is in itself an energetically costly process because of the large amount of protein required, in the form of silk. It makes a spiral of non-sticky, widely spaced threads to enable it to move easily around its own web during construction, working from the inside outward. It also avoids the energy loss of weaving a large orb web. After the radials are complete, the spider fortifies the center of the web with about five circular threads. Then, beginning from the outside and moving inward, the spider methodically replaces this spiral with a more closely spaced one made of adhesive threads.

Q: How can I deploy multiple Project Templates in Visual Studio 2012 with a single VSIX file? I have created several project templates for my developers to use, but cannot find a way to deploy them all within a single VSIX file.  Currently, I have 2 multi-project templates that have 4 projects within each.
I have tried to add both ZIP files to a single VSIX package but the package name shows up in the project item list.  That's not what I want.  Example..
MyVSIXPackage
    Project1.zip
    Project2.zip
In the project list, I see "MyVSIXPackage" in the list instead of "Project1" and "Project2".
Any ideas?

Sporadic nesting reveals long distance colonisation in the philopatric loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta)
Carreras, Carlos and Pascual, Marta and Tomás, Jesús and Marco, Adolfo and Hochsheid, Sandra and Castillo, Juan José and Gozalbes, Patricia and Parga, Mariluz and Piovano, Susanna and Cardona, Luis (2018) Sporadic nesting reveals long distance colonisation in the philopatric loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta). Scientific Reports, TBC (TBC). TBC. ISSN 2045-2322
Official URL: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-19887-w
The colonisation of new suitable habitats is crucial for species survival at evolutionary scale under changing environmental conditions. However, colonisation potential may be limited by philopatry that facilitates exploiting successful habitats across generations. We examine the mechanisms of long distance dispersal of the philopatric loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) by analysing 40 sporadic nesting events in the western Mediterranean. The analysis of a fragment of the mitochondrial DNA and 7 microsatellites of 121 samples from 18 of these nesting events revealed that these nests were colonising events associated with juveniles from distant populations feeding in nearby foraging grounds. Considering the temperature-dependent sex determination of the species, we simulated the effect of the incubation temperature and propagule pressure on a potential colonisation scenario. Our results indicated that colonisation will succeed if warm temperature conditions, already existing in some of the beaches in the area, extend to the whole western Mediterranean. We hypothesize that the sporadic nesting events in developmental foraging grounds may be a mechanism to overcome philopatry limitations thus increasing the dispersal capabilities of the species and the adaptability to changing environments. Sporadic nesting in the western Mediterranean can be viewed as potential new populations in a scenario of rising temperatures.

And wolf and coyote pups in their dens.
The Trump administration on Monday proposed rolling back a 2015 rule that bans aggressive predator control tactics in national preserves in Alaska, including shooting bear cubs and wolf pups in their dens―a move immediately blasted by environmental groups.
The proposal, slated to be published Tuesday in the Federal Register, would amend the National Park Service's current regulations to again allow for controversial sport hunting and trapping techniques on roughly 20 million acres of federal lands in Alaska. The park service, part of the Department of the Interior, said lifting the prohibitions would increase hunting opportunities on national preserve land, as Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke called for in a pair of secretarial orders last year.
The proposed rule would allow hunters to lure brown and black bears with bait, hunt black bears and their cubs using artificial lights, shoot bear cubs and wolf and coyote pups in their dens, and use dogs to hunt black bears. It would also allow hunters to shoot swimming caribou from motorboats.
Environmental groups voiced disgust at the attempt to strip away protections.
The park service said in an emailed statement the proposed rule would "establish consistency" with state regulations.
"The conservation of wildlife and habitat for future generations is a goal we share with Alaska," agency regional director Bert Frost said.
A 60-day public comment period begins Tuesday.
The proposal comes a little more than a year after Congress approved a measure to repeal an Obama-era rule that largely banned hunting of Alaska's most iconic predators in Alaska's national wildlife refuges. The Republican-sponsored legislation opened the door for the state to resume aggressive predator control tactics, including shooting bears and wolves from airplanes, on more than 76 million acres of refuge land.
Trump signed that bill into law in April 2017.

Q: How do I make a text  tag as long as the div containing it? I have a form input with a label next to it, like this:

    <form>

            Username
            <input type="text">

            Password
            <input type="password">

            <input type="submit" value="Login">

    </form>

Then I have some CSS that sets up the width of the login box and the span fields, like so:
#loginbox {
    border: 1px solid black;
    width: 300px;
}

#loginbox span {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 80px;
    text-align: right;
}

Here is the jsfiddle for this code:
http://jsfiddle.net/7TNNq/
Notice how the input boxes do not span the entire length of the div. How do I get it to expand fully?

A: You could put
#loginbox div input {
  width: 70%;
}

it will expand to the edge of the div, but I'm sure there's a better way to go about it.
Hope this helps

A: Here it is.
http://jsfiddle.net/7TNNq/35/
Or you can set fixed width as @spike suggested.

A: See: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/tgGLv/
CSS:
#loginbox {
    border: 1px solid black;
    width: 300px;
}

#loginbox label {

    width: 80px;
}
#loginbox span {
    display: block;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0 4px 0 0;

The live election results are harrowing, think about games.
Trying to make an extra-fiddly Zachtronics-style game.
More details on the wagon game concept.
Ever since SpaceChem came out, I've wanted to have some kind of Zachtronics-style game that's more realistic in terms of its fake chemistry, but I haven't had a good idea of how to pull that off while having the result be a "game" instead of a "basically useless clone of Maple [I think]".
The big departure I guess such a thing would bring about is, the waldos can't be grasping arbitrary atoms, and can't have control over orientation. Related issues include bringing in stuff like entropy and enthalpy, or establishing heat and pressure gradients. Recycle streams. Zooming in, there's also the question of process control. Give players components like PIDs, and stick them on a little Shenzhen I/O-esque board. I wonder if it would work to have concerns like temperature, but use really big bins to describe them. How else can I apply discrete mathematics without having the player's machines micromanage each molecule? I'd also like to develop some fictional chemistry so I don't have to worry about people like me pondering weird bond angles and suchlike. Maybe try to base it off what I can glean of the Planiverse, and claim that chemistry is two-dimensional now because someone discovered a compactified spatial anti-dimension, and it turns out the resulting physics is nicer for engineering because reasons.
Anyway, I also want to sketch stuff out for the wagon game idea.
For an initial scenario, suppose the players have taken an order to deliver a shipment of furs to a town five days travel away. The player studies the map, makes a budget, accepts the job, gives the quartermaster the shopping list, then picks up the furs and leaves. For each of the five days on the road, it's possible they'll get some event related to the road. For each of the four nights they're in the wilderness, it's possible they'll get a rest-related event. Events are in mini-cyoa form, and can lead to stuff like changes in supply levels, loss of quest items, stat changes, or curses.
One thing I want is that the character progression is relatively flat, but they are able to get better equipment. This makes intuitive sense to me.
Next time, I'll hopefully have calmed down enough from the election to sketch stuff out on paper.


Sugar and IBS? Sugar and IBS?
Is Sugar an IBS Trigger?
Is Sugar an IBS Diet Trigger?
Sugar usually means sucrose. Sucrose is the refined white granulated, powdered, or brown sugar found at grocery stores, used in home cooking.
Sucrose is not an IBS trigger. Refined sugar is certainly not a health food, but it isn't a GI stimulant or irritant.
What about dessert?! You can have your IBS-friendly cake and eat it, too. IBS safe dessert recipes depend on a low fat, dairy-free, high soluble fiber foundation. The sugar itself won't cause problems, so feel free to enjoy some sweet treats.
Try my fantastic Peppermint Fudge Cake and see for yourself!
However! Another type of sugar, fructose (fruit sugar) is a very likely trigger for IBS symptoms, especially diarrhea, gas, bloating, and cramps. Fructose is considered a FODMAP.
Fructose is found in concentrated amounts in commercial drinks and sweets made with high-fructose corn syrup and fruit juice concentrate.
It's possible to be fructose intolerant (your doctor can - and should - test you for this).
But, even people without fructose intolerance can suffer GI side effects from too much fructose.
To avoid fructose, watch for: agave, high-fructose corn syrup, fructose, levulose, and invert sugar.
About 40% of the sugar in honey is fructose, so if you're fructose intolerant you may have to limit this.
Fructose is in fresh fruits, but don't just eliminate all from your diet, as you need the nutritional benefits.
High fructose - Grapes, apples, pears, cherries, and mangoes.
Low fructose - Peaches, apricots, honeydew, cantaloupe, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, citrus.
Small amounts of fresh fruits are more tolerable, so try to have a little bit with each meal.
Even lower fructose fruits can still be high insoluble fiber, so be cautious with that.
Dried fruit and fruit juices are far more concentrated sources of fructose, and you may have to restrict them.
Tip Takeaway: Plain old sugar is not a health food, but it's also not an IBS trigger. An occasional IBS safe dessert should be fine. Fructose, however, is hard to digest even if you don't have IBS, so be careful and avoid or limit fructose as needed to stay stable.

Senat es el nombre de la cámara alta (senado) del parlamento polaco. La cámara baja se llama Sejm. En arreglo a la Constitución polaca, está compuesto de 100 miembros, que son elegidos mediante un sistema mayoritario de distritos uninominales.

La historia del Senado polaco se remonta a más de 500 años; fue uno de los primeros órganos constituyentes de un parlamento bicameral en Europa y existió sin pausa hasta la partición final del estado polaco en 1795. Tras un breve período de existencia bajo la Segunda República de Polonia, se volvió a abolir el Senado. No se restableció hasta el colapso del gobierno comunista y el restablecimiento de la democracia en Polonia en 1989. El Senado tiene su sede en Varsovia y está ubicado en un edificio que forma parte del Complejo Sejm en la calle Wiejska, muy cerca de la Plaza de las Tres Cruces y Castillo de Ujazdów.

He started as a substitute and special education paraeducator, then taught middle school science, math and fine art. He currently teaches courses on educational foundations, school culture and teacher action research.

We believe passionately that diverse and inclusive companies make for more innovative, engaged, and happy teams, and we speak with forward-thinking talent leaders all the time who feel the same. We're writing this series on how to improve diversity and inclusion in the workplace because people are ready for the next level of discourse around diversity and inclusion; one aimed at actual solutions. In it, you'll find tactical advice, beneficial resources, and examples of what companies are doing today to make real progress in diversity and inclusion. Read our series introduction to see what we cover throughout the series.
Imagine you come across an ad for your dream job. The day-to-day is exactly what you've been looking for, in the industry that you've wanted to break into for a while. On top of that, the gig would come with a significant pay raise and even reduce your daily commute. You submit your resume, wondering if it's too good to be true.
Unfortunately, when you come in to interview, you realize it is. The recruiter proudly tells you, the company happens to be entirely left-handed, and it's a huge part of the culture. You notice pro-left-handedness messages on posters decorating the walls, and feel pangs of anxiety. When you mention to the recruiter that you're right handed, she's taken aback. "Are you sure?" she asks. "Um, pretty sure," you reply, and she looks visibly worried. From there, it gets weirder. Some interviewers seem vaguely confrontational, one remarking, "We haven't had a right-hander work here in years." Another seems determined to not make eye contact with you. Another interviewer actually chokes on his coffee when you start taking notes... with your right hand.
You did meet some genuinely nice people, but you just didn't feel good being in the office. No one was outwardly cruel, but you realize you still felt like an outsider. So, when the recruiter calls back and invites you to the final round interview, you decline.
What if we told you that this happens all the time? In your company, right now? Sure, the above is an exaggerated example, but you can imagine something similar playing out when a candidate who is different in any way walks into your office.
In this post, we'll cover: how biases show up in hiring, why biases are unavoidable, and tactics and tips for curtailing their influence, so the scenario above doesn't happen at your organization.
And we won't! Let me assure you, no reasonable person is going around arguing that we should only hire say, women in favor of more qualified male candidates. Diversity and inclusion supporters like you and me share a common goal: building inclusive workplaces to better support *every* demographic.
Here's the thing: it's not possible for any one *individual* to be diverse. Diversity is not a fixed trait, but a factor that only becomes relevant when you're talking about *groups* of people. Individuals are still ultimately responsible for the skills, experience, and team contributions – no free passes – no matter what demographic.
But when we examine groups in aggregate, it's hard to deny the problematic patterns and all the ways we could collectively improve. Some groups are unfairly disadvantaged based on factors they cannot control. This can result in entire industries dominated by men, for example, or entirely-white management.
Despite our best intentions, our organizations are riddled with biases, both conscious and unconscious. This is especially the case for recruiting, the very beginning of the employee lifecycle. Thoughtful, inclusive hiring is not only the right thing to do, it's a huge competitive advantage for your organization.
Inclusive hiring allows you to find "hidden gem" talent that other companies don't recognize. And, you'll make fewer mistakes, or mis-hires: candidates who look a certain part but ultimately fail to deliver results. So let's get started.
Before diving into the tactics, it's important to acknowledge that all of us have unconscious biases. Let's me say this again: we ALL have unconscious biases. Period. The trouble is, when left unchecked, they lead us to make snap judgments and fall prey to stereotypes in decision-making.
Having biases doesn't make us bad people, it's simply an evolutionary trait. For thousands of years, we've been wired to make snap judgments that increase our chances of survival.
→ Why do we make snap judgments?: Humans are social creatures, extremely attuned to other people and whether one "belongs" or not – it used to be critical to our survival. Our ancestors evolved to figure out quickly who was a member of our tribe ("in-group") vs. not ("out-group"). Choosing wrong and not reacting quickly enough to a potential threat could jeopardize our survival.
→ What does this mean? We've been wired to categorize others quickly: friend vs. not. Thousands of years later, most of us aren't walking around constantly on the alert for a tiger or a surprise attack from an enemy tribe. Our evolutionary wiring helped us survive in the past, but today – when we evaluate people for our mundane office jobs and the fight for survival is purely metaphorical – it can manifest itself in more negative ways, like implicit stereotyping.
→ We're predisposed to look for homogeneity and feel safe when surrounded by people who look and feel similar. But as research shows over and over again, it's diversity that leads to smarter, more creative teams and better performance for businesses.
That was the biology lesson. Back to hiring!
With greater awareness of biases, hiring teams can become less reliant on 'shortcuts' that limit better judgment. It won't be easy though; educating hiring decision-makers that their reliance on "gut feeling" needs to go is not simple. However, tackling that feeling of initial discomfort is a necessary step in creating better results for the entire team.
Bonus Tip: Harvard has developed a free online tool called the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to help the unconscious become more conscious. Check out the website and try out a few of their tests – it's a window into self-awareness, and you may be surprised by the results.
Job descriptions are often the first real touch point between your prospective candidates and your company. How great of an impression is it – do people get fired up about submitting a resume? Or do subtle cues discourage would-be-candidates to close the browser tab and apply elsewhere?
Too often, traditional job descriptions are cursory documents – checklists of requirements and pedigree that may or may not actually match the job. A common complaint about job descriptions in HR circles is that they're descriptive of what the person should *look* like, instead of what needs to be *done* on the job. But great candidates can come from various backgrounds.
It articulates what the new hire would be expected to know already and help others with (labeled as "Teach") versus would they would have to develop on the job (labeled as "Learn").
The feedback from applicants has been overwhelmingly positive. Candidates appreciate the clarity of expectations and the signal it sends – that companies that employ these type of inclusive job descriptions care a lot about candidates as people.
Revamping job descriptions benefits everyone, but can be especially helpful for diversity and inclusion efforts. As one often-cited Hewlett Packard study showed, men apply for a job when they meet only 60 percent of the outlined qualifications, but women don't feel confident to apply unless they meet 100 percent. Rethinking the "requirements" section and remove the checklists that impede women and minorities from applying, and you'll have access to a larger talent pool.
There are some exceptions, as in the case of specific technical skills that are absolutely required for a job. But ask yourself: is it something that must already be possessed by the candidate? Or can it be learned / are you willing to teach someone who is otherwise excellent? Does that job *really* need a 4-year college degree? If not, why would we want to discourage those who may be qualified from applying? All questions worth asking with your own team.
Bonus Tip: If you're not ready to switch over to Impact Descriptions, start small: Textio is a fantastic tool helping companies analyze the language of your job descriptions. Their studies have found that bias embedded in job descriptions can favor/discourage certain candidates. Language is a reflection to candidates of your culture, and a signal whether your workplace is what they're looking for. If your postings are laden with words like "hacker," "shark," "dominate," etc., they might inadvertently signal to women and minorities to look elsewhere.
A study found that resumes with a "white" sounding name (Emily and Greg) received 50% more callbacks than "black" names (Lakisha and Jamal) – even though the resumes were identical. We can extrapolate the results of this study to imagine what the impact could be, and the impact on the potential missed opportunities for talent in companies everywhere. Yes, hiring is hard. But maybe we aren't examining our blind spots enough.
The tricky thing about unconscious bias in recruiting is that we're usually not aware of them. Still, they sneak into the hiring process in all kinds of ways. Have you heard anything like the following in hiring huddles before?
These are examples of implicit associations that can get in the way of smart hiring decisions. Being quiet, or more introverted, is often confused with lack of confidence. There are many ways to advance as a leader or technical expert in a field, but sometimes, we equate stereotypical images as the real deal. Being a white male MIT Computer Science grad is just *one* stereotype of technical ability, and sometimes it is true! The problem is when we reject a minority female grad from a technical bootcamp because she just doesn't quite feel like a *real* engineer.
There are also statements like below, where you end up hiring for prestige and adopting whatever institutional biases exist at your organization and in your industry.
A conversation about unconscious biases with your team is a great place to start, as it's something that affects everyone. Hopefully from the conversation, what people should take away is that nobody is perfect, and growth is incremental.
Bonus Tip: We recommend the unconscious bias training from Facebook, which covers several types of biases in easily-digestible 5-15 minute modules. They're a great conversation starter.
See also: Materials from Google and Paradigm, one of our favorite leading consultancies offering Unconscious Bias Trainings.
The greater number of people involved in a hiring process, the more complex it gets; there's a greater likelihood of someone not being familiar with the nuances of the role. And that lends itself to relying on mental shortcuts or poor interviewing techniques, which could preventing you from finding and closing the right candidate.
At the beginning of every search, gather the hiring panel for a short meeting. Walk through the job description and make sure everyone's on the same page about the evaluation criteria. If you hear your sales hiring manager ask for former athletes, or an engineer demonstrating a strong preference for a certain type of technologies that's not critical to the job, ask thoughtful questions to help people talk out what is Required versus Desired. It's much better to test these assumptions early in the process, before conversations become about real people!
Does this person demonstrably show growth in their environment? Do they have a consistent pattern of promotions? Or if the organization was relatively flat, of increased responsibilities?
Does this person's language indicate a healthy view of their contribution (not too exaggerated, overblown, egotistical), including specific details on what they were proud of?
This is as opposed to oddball questions like "Why is a manhole round?" or "How many golf balls would fit inside a 747 airplane?" Brain teasers and off-the-cuff questions have been found to be not that helpful in predicting great hires vs. those who need to be rejected. Lastly, studies have shown that biographical data measures (such as years of experience and education) are largely unhelpful in separating out great talent.
Remember that much stronger predictors of success in a potential employee are found in the tapestry of work samples, structured investigation of past patterns of success, comparison against the required competencies of the job, peer/manager ratings, and motivation fit. Focus on these areas to make sure you can identify top talent, no matter their background or privileges.
Bonus Tip: The People Operations team at Google has taken their learnings from thousands of interviews over many years to publish a guide for Structured Interviewing.Check it out for a further deep-dive into the why's and the mechanics of structured interviewing, along with specific examples and sample tools you can copy and adopt.
It's not possible to fully measure the impact of unconscious bias. There are too many signals that are too subtle to possibly identify, let alone track.
At the same time, "what gets measured gets managed," they say. Establishing benchmarks and making incremental goals is key in more inclusive hiring. Here are some starting-point suggestions.
Company demographics. Determine the makeup of your team and compare against local census data. Start a discussion about the trends and discrepancies you see. If diversity and inclusion efforts are just taking off in your organization, we recommend using this step as a current snapshot and to be able to compare against it in the future. This is as opposed to using the demographic data to set explicit recruiting goals (e.g. hire 2x more women this year). This is because 1) explicit goals around hiring numbers can send the wrong message to your team, who may wonder what's being sacrificed in the pursuit of diversity and 2) diversity and inclusion work takes time, and moving too quickly on setting aggressive goals in recruiting may result in short-term results and long-term failure. Even if diversity is prioritized in recruiting, if the work environment and company culture still have problems, your unsatisfied new hires will rightly leave.
Candidate experience. Send a survey to candidates with both quantitative (such as "How likely are you to re-apply for one of our positions in the future?") and qualitative fields ("What was the highlight of your interview experience? What about a low point?"). Have every single response read by a human. You never know how much impact one comment could have in making you aware of your blind spots. And if you end up hearing about an inappropriate joke from an interviewer or a hiring manager who repeatedly failed to follow up, treat it as the feedback as a gift to help you improve in a way that you would have not known otherwise. Ensuring the same mistake doesn't get repeated means you're getting better at your game and less likely to lose top candidates in the future.
Conversion rates vs EEO data. A caveat, you'll need larger sets of data to be able to run this analysis. Take your conversion rates (e.g. What percentage of resumes submitted are moved to phone screen?) and intersect them with demographic data collected by Equal Employment Opportunity, an optional set of questions that can be enabled in your ATS like Lever. For example, you might find that underrepresented candidates are passing phone screens but falling off after on-site panels at a disproportionately high rate. This tells you there is likely some sort of bias in a particular stage. With this information, you can identify the problem like a detective: maybe it's an untrained interviewer turning people off. Maybe it's the type of questions asked that's unfair to a certain group. In addition to conversion rates, you can run the same analysis with interview scores. If underrepresented groups are consistently ranking lower in certain stages and questions, maybe there's underlying bias at play. More opportunities for detective work!
Bonus Tip: Not every company is set up or resourced for substantial metrics and data analyses in diversity recruiting. In that case, we recommend focusing your energy on low-hanging fruit. Here are 50+ ideas for cultivating diversity and inclusion that you can start today.
Almost everything that makes teams better interviewers makes them less biased as well.
Hopefully, you now have a better of idea of how to start, by establishing robust criteria and results expected in the job description, working closely with your hiring stakeholders to ensure they're educated on common biases, and knowing how to correct for it.
But it's still a lot. When it's easy to feel overwhelmed, I hope you won't let perfection be the enemy of progress. Even if you can't start on the above ideas immediately, pick just one thing and move forward. Many teams I've talked to can tell me off the bat at least one thing they wish was better in their recruiting process, but they aren't yet doing it! That's because while everyone knows that writing great job descriptions is important, when the moment comes to open a new posting, you don't "have the time" and tell yourself you'll start with the next opening, resorting to copy-pasting the one today from a previous one.
Combating bias isn't glorious – it's can be quite tedious. It's taking the additional time to do what's right even when doing it the same way as you always have comes easier. But when you take it step-by-step, one low-hanging fruit at a time, you'll start seeing a difference. And by then, you'll be empowered to tackle bigger and bigger challenges, to make a real dent in building inclusive organizations.
