Queen axeman reveals ambition to join Angus Young's band – and admits horror when Flash Gordon producer hated theme music
Whole Lotta Brian: Queen star May
Brian May would love to have been a member of AC/DC if Queen hadn't taken off, he's admitted.
And the guitarist has shared his moment of horror when the producer of Flash Gordon rejected the band's anthemic movie music.
Asked what he'd liked to have done if the Freddie Mercury-fronted project had failed, May tells the Independent: "I'd have probably liked to be in AC/DC. It's different from Queen. Queen were very eclectic – we just trampled over every boundary that there was.
"But AC/DC are in a sense the opposite. They know their style and it's incredibly pure, and I have great respect for that. Every single note they play is AC/DC completely."
He reflects: "I'm the wrong sort of size and shape, unfortunately," but adds he's not concerned if others disagree with his choice: "If I feel excited by it I don't really care what anybody else thinks. And in fact I kind of enjoy that feeling of discomfort."
May has been acclaimed for his movie soundtracks, especially his work on 1980 blockbuster Flash Gordon. But he says producer Dino Di Laurentiis didn't want to use the Queen music that's become as iconic as the film.
"We were engaged to do the job by Mike Hodges, the director, and Dino," the guitarist recalls. "The combination of him and Mike was very odd, because for Dino it was a very serious film engaging the top-level talent in Italy, and to Mike it was a spoof.
"We saw some of the rushes and we loved it. We all went away and made some demos separately – Roger, John, Freddie and me. We played them back to Mike and Dino and asked, 'What do you think?'
"There was this horrible moment. Mike jumped up and down saying, 'It's brilliant, it's brilliant,' and Dino sat there with a face white as a sheet, and obviously didn't enjoy it.
"When it came to the theme I had written, you know, 'Flash', Dino said: 'It's very good, but it is not for my movie.'
"We all got a bit glum and went away. But what I think happened was, Mike went to Dino and said: 'You've got to have faith here. Brian has captured the essence of the movie in this piece of music.' To his credit, Dino did come around and was very supportive.
"It was a big adventure – I don't think there had ever been a feature film with background music done by a rock band. It was a real dangerous departure."

Although a term like the borderlands suggests a setting in which two monolithic groups confronted one another across a clearly defined boundary, in fact an incredibly diverse collection of peoples called the U.S.-Mexico borderlands home in the mid-nineteenth century. Centuries of migration and conquest had created an intricate mosaic of communities, each with a complicated history of conflict and cooperation with its neighbors. Moreover, none of these communities existed in isolation from the other. Through trade, raids, employment, or intermarriage, individuals regularly moved from one community to another.

Vecinos Mexican Naka̡i̡yé
American Milga:n Innaa
One of the most telling measures of the region's diversity is to be found in the complex array of names that coalesced around each ethnic group. These names speak not only to the linguistic complexity that existed in the borderlands, but also to the different ways each group perceived itself and was, in turn, viewed by others.

This past holiday season has put a multitude of video games harbored under the Christmas tree and downloaded onto various electronic devices. Accompanying all these new technological gadgets and gaming systems is a potential unwanted complication, which is the potential for a unique compulsion.
A new and complicated addiction has begun to take hold into our mainstream culture. Previously unseen in earlier generations, this new abuse is not based on substances, but is related to "gaming." Over 1.2 people worldwide now play on-line and mobile games and some may be susceptible to addictive behavior .
As a result, gaming attracts a wide array of demographics. No longer is the stereotype of this activity a male teenager.
unhealthy eating and sleeping habits and more.
Although gaming addiction is not yet formally recognized as a disorder by the American Medical Association, video game addiction can be just as dangerous as any other negative compulsive behavior.
And just like substance abuse, severe gaming addiction requires treatment, rehabilitation and a plan for recovery.
Many alcoholics state that their first step toward sobriety was admitting their addiction. Gaming addicts must also recognize they have a problem in order to move forward.
There are other similarities. When an alcoholic is in recovery, they must avoid temptation. Regretfully, this may not be as easy for gaming addicts. We all use technology on a regular basis whether at school, work or running a household. If we are constantly operating a computer or tablet, temptation is directly confronting us.
Little research has been done on the best treatment and recovery program for gaming addicts and some debate whether gaming should actually be classified as an addiction.
As this latest obsession grows globally, society will have to determine what forms of treatment programs should be developed to support a healthy lifestyle.
It is clear that rehabilitation for gaming addicts must include a social component since many people who are constantly focused on technological devices have lost some of the skills to communicate directly with others. These addicted individuals will have to be forced out of their virtual reality and into the true reality of life.

Once you are prepared for treatment they'll leave the room to prevent exposing themselves to radiation. It is going to be essential for you to lie very still during the therapy. Acne spot treatments make it possible for you to focus on a single blemish at a moment, targeting the medicine to where you require it the most.
Based on the portion of your body being treated, we might have to create a meshlike plastic cast of the body. It will be positioned carefully in order to get the best radiation treatment. Whether you need one depends on the region of the body being treated and the treatment program.
The therapist will position the individual on the treatment table and make custom immobilization devices specific to her or his entire body and treatment website. During Treatment Once the therapist is certain you're positioned correctly, they will leave the room and begin the radiation therapy. Ahead of the simulation, the radiation therapist may place you into a particular positioning device which will help you hold your body still during treatment. The therapist will also produce a mold to go under your children's head when he's lying on his back. Since the treatment therapist isn't present at the period of simulation, using photos in combination with tattoos makes daily setup simpler.
Treatment After a prosperous verification simulation, you can begin treatment after the next moment. It's essential not to miss treatments. The daily treatment usually takes just a few minutes.
Treatment can vary from a couple weeks to a few months. Treatments are usually given once each day, Monday through Friday, for several of weeks. As soon as your radiation treatments are completed, or a day or two before your final therapy, you are going to have a last visit with your provider. After all treatment planning is finished, radiation therapy treatments are prepared to begin. Bear in mind that the time required to deliver the true radiation therapy treatments is only minutes, not quite as long as the time needed for the simulation.
During the visit, your doctor will carry out a thorough history and physical examination. He will also examine you to determine if you are experiencing any side effects. At the end of the visit, he will review and recommend the role of radiation therapy in your care. It is essential that patients are treated in precisely the same manner each time so the appropriate quantity of radiation is delivered to a precise location. It's crucial that patients remain in the exact same position throughout the full treatment to be able to enure accurracy and minimize the quantity of healthy tissue within the radiation beam path. Many patients bring a relative, loved one or supportive friend to take part in the physician and nurse consultation along with accompany the individual for treatment appointments. They assume that their treatment will begin the day after simulation.
The treatment isn't painful, nor are you going to feel anything as soon as the treatment occurs. Spot treatments target specific regions of your face and body that are more vulnerable to problems. Skin spot treatments are offered for practically any age group and for any form of skin condition.

The scope of the present volume is confined to the year 1636, but enough of interest occurs within that time—thanks to the overflowing energy of the new governor, Corcuera, who promptly reorganizes all departments of the government; his controversies with the archbishop and the friars; and the difficulties and dissensions which affect the orders themselves. The greater part of this volume is occupied by Corcuera's report for the first year of his governorship.
The nuns of St. Clare ask (probably in 1635) for certain favors from the royal treasury; and their agent avails himself of this opportunity to ask favors for his own order, the Franciscan Recollects. The nuns themselves write to the king (June 30, 1636), through their abbess, Ana de Christo, informing him of their progress and growth in the Philippines, and other matters. They have founded a convent of their order at Macao; and have built a house at Manila for their residence. They complain that Governor Corcuera has driven the Franciscans from the administration of the royal hospital, and coerced the archbishop—the story of whose ill-treatment by the governor they briefly repeat, asking the king to grant the prelate redress therefor. They also ask that their confessor may have a cell at the hospital, which is near them; and complain that their convent is much injured by the walls and buildings that are being erected about it—some of these arbitrarily ordered by the governor, who ignores the needs and comfort of the nuns. They close with another appeal for royal aid to finish the building of their convent, and thanks for the king's effort to secure the canonization of their foundress.
A relation for the year 1635–36 describes the arrival at Manila of Governor Corcuera, and narrates his controversies with the archbishop. The account is more detailed and circumstantial than that of Diaz (given in Vol. XXV); and the two constitute an interesting chapter, not only of ecclesiastical history but of human nature. The friars finally send secret envoys to the king, to inform him of their troubles. News comes from Japon of renewed persecutions of Christians there, and of the apostasy of the Jesuit provincial for that kingdom—who has even, it is said, married a heathen woman. At the end of this document is added a copy of a pasquinade which appeared at that time in Manila, lampooning the governor and his adherents.
A group of letters from Corcuera (June 30, 1636) constitute his first annual report to the home government.

Ben Simmons doubtful to play in Olympics in order to develop skills
Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images
After Game 7 on Sunday, Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons admitted he had a lot to work on to improve in this league. It does not come as a surprise after he struggled mightily on the offensive end in their second-round loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
Apparently, he really meant that when he said it.
With the Olympics fast approaching, Simmons is now doubtful to play for the Australian National Team. The reason: He wants to continue to work on his skills and prepare for the 2021-22 season.
Ben Simmons is doubtful to play for Australia in Tokyo Olympics, sources said. Will spend offseason working on skill development. Aussies scheduled to begin training this week in L.A.
— Brian Windhorst (@WindhorstESPN) June 21, 2021
Coach Doc Rivers is confident in Simmons' work ethic and wanting him to become the player he expects to be. This news of him possibly skipping the Olympics could be a good sign for both Simmons and the team that he is ready to lock in on the offensive end of the floor.

Review: New IMac Tempts a Windows User
Apple Inc. has dropped "Computer" from its name, but its computer business is still growing, even if the iPod player is the company's real star.
Apple's resurgence started with the first iMac, in 1998. Little by little, Apple has been persuading people to opt for Macintosh computers over Windows PCs.
After Apple refreshed its iMac line last week, I decided to test one from the perspective of a Windows user. I found it to be a powerful if not completely irresistible enticement to switch.
If you haven't looked at iMacs in a while, they now look like half a laptop -- the display half, with the processor and other components built into the flat-panel screen. The new iMacs ditch the plasticky look that's been a hallmark of the line since the beginning, replacing it with an aluminum casing that's even thinner than before.
It's very sleek-looking, but do you remember the first iMacs? They resembled colorful television sets and looked more fun than a pack of bubble gum. Then there was a special edition with a transparent gray cover, through which you could see the copper coils on the back of the cathode-ray tube. That was hot.
With the latest models, the iMac has grown up, gone to business school and now wears a suit -- a very well-cut suit. It won't look out of place anywhere, but it's not as exciting.
The basic model costs $1,199 and has a 20-inch screen. Another $300 gives you a faster processor and graphics card and a bigger hard drive. The top model, for $1,799, has all those components but a 24-inch screen instead. All have one gigabyte of memory. The prices are roughly $300 less than the previous line, for the same size screen.
I tested the middle model, but with an extra gigabyte of memory, which costs $150. When I removed the extra memory, I didn't find a difference in how fast the unit started up, switched between programs or rendered a high-definition movie in iMovie.
That tells me that most users will probably be fine with the cheapest model and the standard 1 GB of memory, because processor speed is not that important anymore. Apple's operating system clearly makes good use of memory; Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Vista will barely give you the time of day on 1 GB.
I found the iMac very easy to get working on, even though I haven't used a Mac intensively for some time. Getting online through my home wireless network using the built-in Wi-Fi card was a cinch, as was video chatting using the built-in camera and my AOL Instant Messenger account. The iMac's iTunes software immediately found the iTunes music library on my home PC and gave me access to the songs.
Along with the new computers, Apple updated its iLife suite of software, which normally sells for $79 but comes free with the iMac.
The iMovie program, in particular, has been thoroughly revised, with a new and very handy interface. Despite little experience with movie editing, it took me just half an hour to boil down an hour of footage into a 2-minute high-definition movie of my baby, shot with a brilliant camera from Panasonic, the HDC-SD1 (street price $750). Uploading the movie to a gallery on Apple's .mac Web service took only a few more steps.
That's the Apple experience in a nutshell: Tight integration of hardware, software and Web services, along with great interface design, allowed me to download, edit and upload the video without ever going to the user manual.
So why am I not completely sold?
Well, I found some flies in the ointment. I'd call them "maggots in the apple," but that's trite and makes too big a deal of them.
I had problems accessing files on my home PC via the wireless network. The iMac would only sometimes show the PC's shared folders. There's probably a fix for this, but this is something that should work out of the box.
Like many other computers, the iMac has three different modes of inactivity: display off, sleep mode and shut down. The trouble is, there's no clue which state your iMac is in, and different inputs can be used to wake the computer up. If the display is off, moving the mouse will turn it on. But if it's in sleep mode, you need to click the mouse. If it's off, neither of those will work, and you have to press the power button.
Turning on a computer shouldn't be a guessing game. Sure, minimalism is great, but it wouldn't have killed the design to put in an LED that indicates the computer's state of relaxation.
In the iMac's favor, power consumption in operation is low, at around 75 watts according to my meter. That's comparable to a laptop, and about half of what a powerful desktop PC will draw, excluding the monitor (Remember: the iMac's power usage includes the built-in monitor). In Sleep mode, the iMac draws just 2 watts.
My other complaint is with how the screen displays small type, like the body text of Web sites. It looks faint and blurry on the iMac screen. This isn't unique to the iMac, as it has to do with how Apple's operating system places text relative to the pixel grid on LCD monitors.
Microsoft's ClearType technology produces text that has better contrast and is more legible. It's less faithful to the design of the font, which is why Apple resists it. But I'm not a graphic designer and not particularly appreciative of the beauty of fonts, and I should have the option to engage something like ClearType on the iMac.
These are minor complaints.
The iMac deserves to be a strong contender for any PC user looking to get a new computer. If I was looking to replace my PC right now, I would be sorely tempted. Even the Windows software I've accumulated over the years isn't a real reason not to switch, because Macs can now run Windows, too (with some additional software purchases).
However, unless you're shopping for a computer in preparation for the fall semester, wait to get an iMac in October, when Apple is to roll out a new version of its operating system, called "Leopard," with improvements to the user interface. If you've already bought a computer, the upgrade will cost $129.


Hello again, apparently tomorrow is April. Seriously, the beginning of every month sneaks up on me!
I have one of those generic (but cute enough for me!) calendars, but these cards make me really want to have fun cards for each month! Might have to change it over. Stat.
Yay! One of my little girls asked today if she could change the calendar pieces and I said, I don't have then yet! Hooray! Thank you thank you!


This section will be devoted to Scriptural words and their meaning. We will not only establish the etymological roots of these words, but we will reveal how many English words are actually Hebrew words. Everything and anything you might want to know about the Hebrew language will be discussed and presented in this section.
E-mail us if you want to know what a particular word is and we will be happy to post it here for all to read. If you are interested in it, maybe many others are, too.


As well as being Canberra's largest commercial pine plantation, Kowen Forest is very popular with organised recreation groups including orienteering, bush walking, running, mountain bike riding, horse riding and car rallies.
Kowen Forest was originally layered with trails to host the 24 Hour Mountain Biking Championships but now the trails have developed way past the preliminary twenty trails that make up a 24 hour lap. Therefore, there are a wide variety of trails that cater to all levels of mountain biking.
Travelling from Queanbeyan, head east, cross the river, and then make a left onto Yass Road. Drive for about 3km and then make a right onto Sutton Road for two kilometres and then make another right into Kowen Forest.
If you already know the access combination you can drive through the gate and then head out another 5km down Kowen Road and turn left at Subaru Rally. Here you want to drive around the overpass and head towards the Kowen homestead site. You can get the lock combinations by calling 13 22 81.
While the trails do include some rough grades, they tend to be mild in nature so that riders can enjoy the landscape while travelling to the peaks. Experienced riders will enjoy the gradients, reaching maximum speeds to enhance their challenge.
There are several starting options from the campsite area that include heading towards the entry road for flatter areas or in the opposite direction for a greater challenge.
The scenic and popular Old Kowen Homestead Recreation Area campground is suited to large organised groups and is a great base for events. The campground is accessed via a dirt road 10 km behind locked gates.
Bring your own drinking water and firewood. Fires are only allowed in the permitted fire pits.
Campers should be aware the campground is surrounded by an active pine plantation with heavy machinery. Please remain within the campground for safety reasons.

Q: Prove that the monoid $M_n(\mathbb{R})$, where the operation is matrix multiplication, is isomorphic to $M_n(\mathbb{R})^{op}$ I just need a hint as to what to pick for a function. I know that I have to prove the there exists a bijective mapping that preserves the operations and maps the identity from $M_n(\mathbb{R})$ to the identity in $M_n(\mathbb{R})^{op}$. I am just having difficulty in choosing a mapping.

A: Take$$\begin{array}{ccc}M_n(\mathbb{R})&\longrightarrow&M_n(\mathbb{R})\\M&\mapsto&M^t.\end{array}$$

A: We want to show that there is a bijective mapping $f: M_n(\mathbb{R}) \rightarrow M_n(\mathbb{R})^{op}$ such that $f(I_M)=\hat{I}_M$, $f(x*y)=f(x)\ \hat{*}\ f(y)$, where $I_M$ is the identity in $M_n(\mathbb{R})$, $\hat{I}_M$ is the identity in $M_n(\mathbb{R})^{op}$, and $x,y \in M.$
First we show that $f$ is a homomorphism. Let $f(M) = M^t$, where $M^t$ is the transposition of matrix $M.$ The identity is immediately available: $f(I_M)=(I_M)^t=\hat{I}_M$. To show that the operation is preserved, for some $A,B \in M_n(\mathbb{R})$ take $f(A*B)=(A*B)^t=B^t * A^t = A^t\ \hat{*}\ B^t = f(A)\ \hat{*}\ f(B).$
To show $f$ is an isomorphism, we want to show that $f^{-1}: M_n(\mathbb{R})^{op} \rightarrow M_n(\mathbb{R})$ exists such that $f^{-1}f= 1_{M_n(\mathbb{R})}$ and $ff^{-1}=1_{M_n(\mathbb{R})^{op}}$. If $f(M)=M^t$, then let $f^{-1}(M^t)=(M^t)^t=M$. Then for any $X^t \in M_n(\mathbb{R})^{op}$, we have $f^{-1}(X^t)=X$ and $ff^{-1}(X^t)=f(f^{-1}(X^t))=f(X)=X^t$, which implies $ff^{-1}=1_{M_n(\mathbb{R})^{op}}$. And for any $X \in M_n(\mathbb{R})$, we have $f(X)=X^t$ and $f^{-1}f(X)=f^{-1}(f(X))=f^{-1}(X^t)=X$, which implies $f^{-1}f= 1_{M_n(\mathbb{R})}$.
Therefore the monoid $M_n(\mathbb{R})$ is isomorphic to $M_n(\mathbb{R})^{op}$.

Every three years, the city of Krakow plays host to the International Print Triennial, one of the longest-running open print competitions in the world. The triennial is predominantly an exhibition of prints in which the artists have been totally engaged with all stages of production, from working the matrix through completion, rather than works produced by professional print workshops. This gives the event a particular character— at a distance from the commercial im-peratives of publishing, it emphasizes work realized with a great investment of the time and commitment on behalf of the artist. At the same time, it takes a broad view of what printmaking might be. The current iteration featured 257 works by 116 artists from 29 countries. Selected by jurors Breda Škrjanec, Sean Caulfield, Thomas Kilpper, Marta Anna Raczek-Karcz and Krzysztof Tomalski, it included a substantial representation from Poland as one would expect as the host country, but with also a large number of Chinese artists.

Sag Harbor Students Against Drugs
By Elizabeth Vespe
Pierson Middle-High School students tied red ribbons throughout the village of Sag Harbor last week, including on benches in the park and on stop signs on Main Street, to raise awareness of drug and alcohol abuse and to demonstrate their commitment to leading healthy lifestyles.
From Friday, October 25, to Friday, November 1, the students took part in Red Ribbon Week, a national event started in 1988 following the violent murder of Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique "Kiki" Camerena, who was tortured and killed in Mexico in 1985.
On Thursday, October 31, the middle school students packed the school's library, ready to take on trivia questions about drugs, alcohol and core values. To engage the students and make it fun, each class was dressed in a different color. They called it "color wars," and the winning team would enjoy a pizza party.
"It's to raise awareness about drugs and alcohol," Jackson Marienfeld, a seventh and an eighth grade teacher at Pierson, explained as he watched the students excitedly answer trivia questions on the library's Smartboard. "It's to honor Kiki. He was killed by drug traffickers. Red Ribbon Week was set up to raise awareness to his situation and the negative effects of drugs."
Mr. Marienfeld said that, throughout the week, students had been pulled out of class to attend assemblies about anti-bullying, drug awareness, and leading happy, healthy lifestyles.
In their individual classes they've been going over issues related to drugs and alcohol, and during lunch, all of the classes get together and take part in team building activities.
Mr. Marienfeld graduated from Pierson in 2013, and fondly remembered being a part of Red Ribbon Week as a student there. "They enjoy it," he said of the students. "It provides a fun and safe atmosphere for them to learn about this stuff."
Middle schoolers Luke Seltzer and Daisy Ronoso were dressed in all blue on Thursday for color wars.
"It's a fun activity," Luke said, adding that the week is about staying drug free and making healthy choices.
On Monday, the students dressed in pajamas, and on Tuesday, they dressed for success, Daisy said. On Wednesday, the students dressed for their future careers.
Both Luke and Daisy said one guest speaker came in to lecture about her past experiences with drugs and how she went down the wrong path and worked hard to become clean.
Down the hall from the library, in the gym, other middle schoolers were completing obstacle courses as a team.
"It's a spirit week, and it's supposed to draw attention to healthy habits and being drug and alcohol free," sixth grade teacher Eileen Caulfield said. Each day of the week, a guest speaker comes in. Organización Latino-Americana, a nonprofit agency committed to promoting social, economic, cultural, and educational development within the Latino and Hispanic communities, lectured about bullying and other issues, as did HUGS, which lectured about youth development and learning leadership skills.
In addition, the students decorate their classroom doors with anti-drug information.
Mr. Camerena's family had tried to talk him out of being a DEA agent due to the dangerous nature of the job. On February 7, 1985, at 37 years old, Mr. Camarena left his office to meet his wife for lunch. Five men appeared at the agent's side and shoved him in a car. One month later, Mr. Camarena's body was found. He had been tortured to death.
In response to Mr. Camarena's murder, angered parents and students in communities across the country began wearing red ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the killing and destruction caused by drugs in America and to honor Mr. Camarena's battle against illegal drugs. He was committed to ending the drug cartels. His motto was: "I'm only one person, but I want to make a difference."
Parents across America had begun forming coalitions adopting the symbol of Mr. Camarena's memory, a satin red ribbon.
National Family Partnership, formerly the National Federation of Parents for Drug Free Youth, was established as a grassroots, nonprofit organization in 1980, and in 1988, sponsored the first National Red Ribbon Celebration.
Decades later, Red Ribbon Week serves to mobilize communities to educate children and encourage participation in drug prevention activities.
"Kiki's community rallied together. It spread nationwide," Ms. Caulfield said, adding that every morning, the administrators give drug facts and positive quotes over the announcements.
"The kids love it. They tie red ribbons all around the village. They even did a public service announcement on the radio," she said.

The route of the Southern Link Road – what could it mean for the rare and protected colony of bats in the area?
by admin · 2 November 2021
The Southern Link Road, part of the bypass scheme, will go from Banwell to Winscombe. The SLR is designed to reduce the flow of traffic using the Northern Route of the bypass and the A368 through Banwell, Sandford and Churchill. It will replace Castle Hill in Banwell as the route to and from west Winscombe.
The Southern Link Road appears to have several impacts which could be regarded as 'showstoppers' and one of these relates to the bats. The Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Report is available online but it does not present a complete picture. Full reports are needed, which are still outstanding. According to the Banwell Bypass Information to Inform Habitats Regulations Assessment – Screening, there could be harmful impacts on a rare bat population foraging and roosting area. They will be affected by both the Northern Route and Southern Link routes. The site of the Southern Link Road falls within the North Somerset and Mendip Bats SAC (special area of consideration).
"The relevant SAC component within the 2km Zone of Interest (ZOI) is the Banwell Ochre Caves, which is located immediately adjacent (south) of the bypass scheme at c.50m from it. The Banwell (Bones) Caves component is located c.600m from the scheme. Proposals may significantly affect how the bats move around the site and the wider landscape and how they utilise functionally linked, supporting habitat.
These species may currently commute across the site for the Southern Link Road scheme to access key resources or use habitats within or in proximity to the scheme site for foraging/roosting. New infrastructure may significantly affect the ability for bats to access/use such key resources. This may indirectly affect the SAC by impeding its ability to meet its Conservation Objectives, specifically, the ability to maintain or restore the populations of qualifying species such as bats."
WinTAG decided to find out more by doing a recce visit to the site of the proposed Southern Link Road. There we interviewed a member of Avon Bat Group, who has spent the summer monitoring bats in Winscombe and evaluating the habitat we have along the Strawberry Line.
Q: We live in a very special area for bats. Can you tell me what a bat is and how long they have been on the planet?
A: Well, it has been suggested that the first bats were formed 65 million years ago. They are mammals with wings and have powered flight. Like us, they have thumbs, fingers, wrists, and elbows. They are not blind. We have 18 species in the UK, 17 of which are breeding. The female will have 1 pup a year and it will suckle milk from their mother. They are all insectivorous meaning they eat insects. Bats help us. They are a good indicator of healthy habitat. So, if bats are around, the chances are we may have good eco systems too. Bats and their roosts are protected by law whether they are used are not.
Q: Can you tell me why bats are protected?
A: Bats are protected because they are vulnerable, rare and threatened. Their reproduction rate is low and will only have their pup if the conditions are right and there are enough food sources available to support them. They are endangered owing to the use of pesticides which affects insect availability. With Greater Horseshoe bats (G.H.S), the use of pesticides has led to a decrease in the availability of larger beetles, particularly cockchafers, and moths over large swathes of the countryside. Lesser Horseshoe bats (L.H.S) are vulnerable to disturbances to roosts and intensive agricultural practices. It takes time for them to become sexually mature. L.H.S bats in the second autumn and G.H.S not until the third year. So, they need to survive quite a long time before they can even reproduce.
Q: The Southern Link Road proposed by North Somerset Council as part of the Banwell Bypass is, I believe is near Horseshoe bat roosts of national importance. Can you tell me what a roost is?
A: A roost is a place of shelter that bats use. They are used for a variety of reasons; for summer maternity roosts to raise their babies, for winter hibernacula, for swarming, mating, and for spring gatherings. It can be a place for non-breeding males and females, and they can also be a place for feeding. They can provide transitional shelters during Spring and Autumn.
Q: What type of place is used as a roost for bats?
A: Around three quarters of British bat species are known to roost in trees. For example, Noctule bats will tough it out and roost in trees during the winter. Most bats in the UK evolved to roost in trees but when there is a lack of them, they will use human made structures. The Lesser and Greater Horseshoe bats like caves, mines, tunnels, and cellars because the conditions are stable. The temperature and humidity are just right. It is safe from predators with less disturbance from light pollution, which Horseshoe bats are particularly sensitive to. Lesser Horseshoe bats are very sensitive to disturbance, especially in their nursery and winter roosts.
Q: How important is the landscape?
A: The surrounding landscape is very important. Bats need to be able to move freely between roosts and foraging areas. Lesser and Greater Horseshoe bats forage in open and closed woodland, scrub, wetland, and permanent pasture. Greater Horseshoes eat cockchafers, dung beetles, noctuid moths, craneflies, and caddis
flies. Lesser Horseshoes eat midges, small moths, caddis flies, lacewings, beetles, small wasps, and spiders. The habitat needs to be interconnected and able to support those food sources, as well as provide clean water to drink. Trees, hedges, and vegetated water sources attract many insects. Both L.H.S and G.H.S have a declining population trend and the G.H.S has declined by over 90% in the last 100 years.
Q: Can you tell me about how bats move around the landscape to find their food?
A: Bats have an amazing way of navigating around the landscape and structures in the dark. They emit a high-pitched frequency and listen to the echo bouncing off the object. This helps the bat create a picture of the environment and locate prey, including the size and shape of an insect and which way it is going. Lesser Horseshoe bats can feed close to vegetation sometimes in dense foliage and in lowland valleys. They rarely fly more than five metres above the ground, circling favoured areas. The Greater Horseshoe's flight is slow with mainly low flying, hunting over meadows for dung beetles and can sometimes take prey off the ground.
This photo shows a Lesser and Greater Horseshoe Bat in a roost
I recorded some Lesser Horseshoe bats this summer. Here is a photo of one. It allows us to enter their world in a way we would not otherwise be able to experience. Please have a listen.
Q: Thank you, for your insight into the life of our bats. From what you have told me today it raises a number of concerns. Banwell Ochre mine bat roost, in particular is in close proximity to the proposed Southern Link Road. Building a road near a roost for declining and endangered species of bats, that use low flying techniques to forage, is detrimental. They will no doubt be at risk of road traffic accidents or fatality. The removal or change in land use around the area will also affect their foraging areas as the road will go through open land with the removal of woodland. The pollution from the traffic will affect the vegetation which will affect the availability of the insects, which will in turn affect food sources for them. The fact that they help us understand the health of our habitat is also important. If the bats are not there, how will we know how healthy our eco systems are? It could be suggested that the bats that roost in Banwell may also visit Winscombe as it is so close. They are our neighbours; they have been here longer than we have, and we should be their custodians.
WinTAG had no idea how interesting the life of bats is and how precarious is their existence. We have seen the references to the Mendip Bats SAC in the Environmental Impact Assessment report, but we need to listen to the volunteers who are doing such good local work in bat conservation.

Thank you for highlighting the fact that the rare horseshoe bats living in our area are at risk from the new Southern Link Road. . As a keen gardener, I'm so grateful that we still have bats, as they come out at night and eat vast quantities of moths and other insects which would otherwise seriously damage the crops I've planted, and a lot of the natural foliage I enjoy around me in the countryside. Bats are an enormously important part of the food chain in the way they regulate pests.
Looking at the research studies which have been carried out, in planted areas where bats were excluded from grazing, the plants lost over 13% of their leaf area to grazing insects, and the bats were more effective at pest control in the understorey plant areas than birds. Bats themselves provide food for hawks, owls and other predators, who would be badly impacted if a whole colony of bats were to be wiped out.
The fact that the horseshoe bats are low flying and come out at night to feed on insects is massively important to the food chain that keeps us humans alive.
We know we have to reduce pesticide use which can harm everything else in the food chain, including humans.
We know that in the coming years of increasingly extreme weather, flooding, heatwaves, food shortages, we need to make sure we can grow food crops, and keep our trees, hedges and pastures, so that every link in the natural food chain is protected. . Let's all stand up for the bats. Without them, our local food chain is in danger of breaking.


The Reading Diaries: Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
I hope everyone is having a happy safe Holiday!!!
Today for us should be super nice and quiet. My friend's husband is out of town this week so we teamed up our two households to make dinner. My friend has 4 kids and with my two and husband, it should be a full house. Since we are teaming up we split the meal but we are each making a few of the same dishes. I'm making a sweet potato casserole with a pecan crumble while her's has marshmallows. I'm also making a turkey and she's making a ham. I'm making the elusive Pecan Pie cheesecake that I've been talking about trying for years.
I'm Thankful for lots of things this year, my health, family, friends, my kids and my wonderful husband. I'm thankful to all the coffee growers who without them I would be missing out on my must-have drink. I'm thankful to all the authors for creating all the amazing books even more than I will ever be able to read. I'm Thankful to all my followers who read my rambles without all of you I would be talking to myself.
It sounds like a lovely day for you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Pecan pie cheesecake sounds pretty amazing, I hope it was a success! I try to make pecan pie at Christmastime here if it's not too hot (I don't enjoy baking during summer), but I'm the only one that eats it. How terrible, a whole pie to myself lol I might need to try making a cheesecake this year, you've inspired me!

> Car Makers to Trump on NAFTA: Don't Fix What 'Aint Broke
Car Makers to Trump on NAFTA: Don't Fix What 'Aint Broke
Posted Monday May 29, 2017, in Border & Customs, Business
NAFTA works, so don't mess with success. That essentially was the message U.S. automakers delivered to the Trump administration this week.
According to a Politico.com, and as reported in U.S. trucking trade press, automakers are pushing President Trump "not to make any changes to NAFTA that would jeopardize production ties with Canada and Mexico that have been built up over the last 25 years."
Car makers are now "performing at levels that really haven't been seen in decades," said Charles Uthus, vice president for international policy at the American Automotive Policy Council, who credits much of that success to NAFTA.
The AAPC contends that hiking tariffs between the three NAFTA signatories would hurt the competitiveness of the North American region. The report also stated that parts manufacturers don't want any changes to the agreement that would ""upset the supply chain."
Heavy Duty Trucking continued:
Perhaps in recognition of the inevitability of Trump pursuing some reforms of NAFTA, AAPC President Matt Blunt issued a statement on May 18 that seeks to avoid breaking eggs by whipping NAFTA into a tastier omelette. "NAFTA has helped to boost the global competitiveness of the U.S. auto industry sector and we support modernizing the agreement in ways that will further strengthen North America as a manufacturing powerhouse, stimulate economic growth and drive job creation," he stated.
Blunt said that AAPC encourages administration "to seize this opportunity" to work with Canada and Mexico "to support strong and enforceable currency manipulation disciplines in trade agreements and encourage the global acceptance of vehicles built to U.S. auto safety standards."
He added that such an update of NAFTA will increase the export of American vehicles and auto parts "and grow the number of high-quality and high-paying American jobs supported by such exports."

In whatever marketing arena we find ourselves, we must learn to deliver a performance that brings our customers to their feet.
Ladies and Gentlemen, step right this way, for the show is about to begin.
In a previous feature, 'Roll Up, Roll Up', I argued that there truly is no business like show business for the ambitious brand-owner. In whichever marketing arena we find ourselves, we must learn to play to our audience and deliver a performance that brings our customers to their feet. Even when the situation calls for a more subtle presentation, our aim must be to produce a display that moves our customer from one place to another and draws a murmured 'bravo!' from their lips.
For people are naturally drawn to a show and there is no greater satisfaction for the buyer than a performance from the seller that speaks powerfully to the needs of the moment and demonstrates a mastery of the finer points of delivery.
Now, there's a danger that in hearing all this talk of show business you fear that I'm proposing an exaggerated and melodramatic approach that leaves the customer feeling awkward and embarrassed. Not so. I don't mean to suggest that our performance must be over-the-top in order to win over our audience. Just as theatre can be a riot of colour and sound, it can also be a solitary figure whose demeanour and attitude somehow draws all eyes in the house. Of course, even in these more understated displays, there is often some small exaggeration for effect: a heightening of the shadows around the eyes or greater deliberation in a gesture.
But before the cast can take to the stage to deliver the performance the audience requires, that stage must be skilfully set. There is no point in lighting the scene for a soliloquy if what is to follow is a dancing chorus. Comedy presents very differently to tragedy. We must guide our audience; show them what to expect. Everyone will emerge frustrated if a scene that is to be played to silence, prompts catcalls and cries of 'She's behind you' and 'Oh no, it's not' instead.
So how do we go about setting the stage in our business for the action that follows? Regular readers of The Blend will know that the hospitality sector offers great example to businesses in all sectors on how to play host to your customer. In order to find out more about this vital part of stagecraft, I met with Denise Ryan of Fineline Design, whose job it is to set the scene for guests to a number of hotels, restaurants and bars in Ireland and overseas.
Denise took me to see some of the projects she had recently completed. As she walked me through the spaces, she talked of the importance of making a strong first impression. This begins on the street but really hits home when the visitor steps into the venue itself for the first time. The early encounter is a critical moment and can make or break the experience for the guest. It tells the customer what to expect from their visit and that opening expectation will colour everything that follows.
Not only does it set expectations in terms of how the business will deliver, it also offers the guest a cue as to how they should behave in order to participate in the experience. Setting up a room in one way will prompt the guest to speak in subdued undertones, whilst arranging it in another may signal a more boisterous environment.
Naturally, there's a common language at work here and it's the job of the designer to master that language and use it succinctly so that even first-time visitors can follow what's being said and reply in kind. At one venue, Denise pointed out how she had sought to lay out the space so that each visitor was made to feel special no matter where they sat. In order to create a feeling of intimacy, she had used sheer curtains to divide parts of the room from the others and had furnished large mirrors to prompt a sense of re-discovery. Together, these installations aimed to provide guests with a range of views and to create the impression of a place waiting to be explored. In such a place, the guest can savour the sensation of being close to others and yet somehow in a world of their own.
These are the tricks of the trade but they must be employed with a skilful hand and a keen sense of what they are designed to achieve. Setting the stage for success demands that you know precisely what effect you are looking for. Otherwise, there's a real danger that you misdirect your audience and set up both sides for an anticlimax.
And so Denise has a lot of work to do before setting the stage for the visitor. She spoke of the importance of taking the lead from her client and being clear as to what type of experience they wish to design for their customers. She finds that people often want to create a place that they themselves would like to visit and she encourages them to think beyond that to define a place that will work for their customers too.
In order to do this, Denise finds it helpful to invite her clients to picture their customers and tell her how they see the customers using the space. She knows that if she can develop a clear sense of how the owner wishes the place to function, then the rest will follow more easily. She asks a lot of questions around how the space will be managed, how it will function on the operations side so that she can create a venue that is to be used rather than simply admired. As Denise puts it, 'there's no point in creating service that's stuffy if you want people to feel comfortable in your place'.
Once she has established what these priorities are, then she can bring her own experience as a customer to bear on the work, before drawing up a plan that uses her professional expertise and know-how and sets out the space in a way that makes for a really great performance.
What Denise is describing is what I've called elsewhere the 'rehearsal stage' of the brand performance, the point when the business owner has the opportunity to outline what they have in mind and the customer can prepare for that performance and decide whether it it's something they want to choose or not.
When seen in this way, setting the stage is not only a prelude to what will follow; it's also a key moment in the sale. It plays the same part as the trailer at the cinema, or as the test drive at the motor dealer, and allows the customer to rehearse the purchase and the experience that's promised. As the guest stands at the threshold of the restaurant, they are offered all sorts of cues as to what they can expect and they will decide to buy or not based on whether the stage is set for a memorable or a forgettable performance.
Whilst the performance itself can exceed or disappoint the expectation, it will always be experienced first in terms of how the scene has been set. This is its starting-point, the moment at which the audience sits back in either wide-eyed anticipation or arms-folded scepticism. Delivering on your brand is almost always easier when you're playing to a gallery that has positive expectations.
In the same way, the customer will finally review your performance against the expectation that's been created at the beginning and will record their satisfaction or regret depending on whether that initial promise has been fulfilled or frustrated.
Setting the stage in this way has another important part to play in the customer experience. Much of the time, the benefits that a brand offers can seem abstract and difficult to appreciate. Preparing for a performance by setting the scene invites both you and your customer to see the brand in a three-dimensional way. Everything seems more real and the brand can be brought to life in a dramatic way. Of course, it's possible to deliver fabulous food in an unpromising environment but a well-made room whets the appetite for what's to follow. When it comes, the food itself seems to taste better.
It's the same for all types of business performance. Despite their occasional protestations to the contrary, our customers mostly buy with their eyes rather than their heads. As they arrive, they are looking for cues, clues as to what they might expect. If they can see from the setting that it's going to be good, then there will be a buzz of anticipation in the auditorium as the orchestra plays its starting tune, the curtains part and the actor opens her mouth to deliver her first lines.

Epidemiology and Infection is a fully open access journal publishing original reports and reviews on all aspects of infection in humans and animals. Particular emphasis is given to the epidemiology, prevention and control of infectious diseases. The field covered is broad and includes the zoonoses, tropical infections, food hygiene, vaccine studies, statistics and the clinical, social and public-health aspects of infectious disease. Papers covering microbiology and immunology which have an epidemiological relevance are part of this broad field. Papers come from medical and veterinary scientists worldwide. It has become the key periodical in which to find the latest reports on recently discovered infections and new technology. For those concerned with policy and planning for the control of infections, the papers on mathematical modelling of epidemics caused by historical, current and emergent infections, will be of particular value.
