Chatting about Eggs and Easter with Martin
The story of a boy who is now strong and healthy! He has lots to share with us about his favorite foods.
April 13, 2017 - Nicaragua
Eating their dishes with scrambled eggs! Martin is on the far left, with the orange plate.
"Do you like eggs, Martin*?"
"Yes, I really like eggs. We eat different kinds, but my favorite is scrambled." Martin answered.
When Martin first arrived at NPH, he was three years old, extremely underweight, malnourished, and suffered from protein deficiency. He was immediately welcomed by the caregivers and medical staff, taken care of, given examinations in the clinic and provided with regular nutritious meals to move him closer to a healthy weight as quickly as possible. Meal after meal, his condition continued to improve. He now has plenty of nutritious food like eggs to eat, which provide him with the protein his body needs to grow and stay healthy.
Martin joined the NPH family along with his three older siblings. He is the son of a single mom who struggled to make ends meet. She worked long hours to earn low wages, and left the children at home while she was away. There were times when Martin and his siblings were left under the care of their grandparents, but both were elderly, not healthy, and were taking care of seven grandchildren at the time. It was not possible for the children to receive adequate care and attention, which is what brought them to our NPH home in Nicaragua.
Martin has been at NPH for a little over three years. He is doing well and at a normal weight, a happy and healthy six-year-old boy. He just started 1st grade this year! Teachers share that he works well independently and also raises his hand to participate in every activity.
Emily, one of his caregivers, was asked to describe young Martin. "His smile and dimples light up the room and his laugh is contagious," she shares, adding, "Martin is always the first to offer to help with whatever job or chore needs doing around the house. And he can always be counted on to tell the truth."
Intrigued by this sweet boy, we had to learn more, so we asked him.
Martin, what do you like to do in your free time? I love making cookies, playing tag, hide-and-go-seek, watching movies, going to the fields to play and playing soccer.
What do you want to be when you are older? I want to be a farmer.
What is your favorite food? Hmm...Tajadas (fried green plantains)....and gallo pinto (rice with beans, Nicaraguan style) with cream and cheese on top.
Do you like eggs, Martin? Yes, I really like eggs. We eat different kinds but my favorite is scrambled.
What is your favorite dish with eggs? Pancakes.
Do you like Easter? I do, because it's a party for God.
What is your favorite part of Easter? Searching for hidden treasure in the Easter egg hunt.
Do you like NPH? Yeah, because we get to study, and watch movies, and there are activities.
Do you get to see your brothers and sisters? Yep, we spend time together and play! Martin has his entire life ahead of him; with his contagious laugh, heart for service and the opportunities that he has been given, we have no doubt that he will lead a strong and healthy one.

Sanctuary amendment deliberations at Paradise Valley Planning Commission
An overview of the site plan at Sanctuary on Camelback. /Submitted graphic
By Terrance Thornton | Paradise Valley Independent
The pursuit of amending the special use permit that governs day-to-day operations at Sanctuary on Camelback Resort & Spa is making its way through the municipality of Paradise Valley.
The Paradise Valley Planning Commission Tuesday, April 4 held a work session discussion to begin to dissect the SUP amendment proposal at Sanctuary through the guise of a Feb. 23 statement of direction provided by town council.
The Sanctuary on Camelback, 5700 E. McDonald Drive, is a beloved resort in the Town of Paradise Valley embedded within the landscape of Camelback Mountain on a 17-acre site at the corner of McDonald Drive and Superstition Lane.


It goes without saying that the doctor should consider the unique individual differences of each patient. I consider this middle age group "golden." Procedures should be adjusted based on the patient's baseline skin conditions, however, a well-designed and correctly carried out treatments can visibly turn back the clock on the face. Depending on the effectiveness of the design, the patient can shed up to a decade off their face. This is why the design is very important.
People in their 50s: People in this age group go through drastic reduction in volume and quality of collagen and subcutaneous fat. The ligaments that should hold these soft tissues in place also degrade and create unwanted grooves and indentations. Due to various changes occurring in the body as we age, our countenance also changes. My patients often complain that their face was smaller when they were young or even a decade ago or that their jawlines have become wider and angular, giving them a rather unfriendly look. They also complain of a droopy nasal tip, or growing jowls, etc. Contrary to what most people may think, the facial bone goes through little change as we age. Aging of the soft tissues can make our face appear larger. In the previous article, I mentioned that large LV and RZ in 3DC will not create an attractive face, which is along the same principle why the face appears larger as we age. The tip of the nose that becomes droopy can also be explained in the 3SC concept. The second S line degrades due to the pull of gravity and creates unwanted facial outline as we age.
Image 1. 50s and 60 or older.
People in their 60s and older: If they did not receive any aesthetic treatments prior to the clinician visit, clearly visible wrinkles and sagging can be observed. Correcting the imbalance in 3DC and collapsing 3SC, more aggressive lifting approach is needed in this age group. Improvement in the volume and quality of weakened ligaments and collagen can be achieved by buccal fat pad enhancement with thread lift. Carry out thread lift first and follow up with other modalities after observing outcome.
Lower eyelid fat removal or transfer is a popular procedure these days and facial fat transfer can bring desirable outcomes in this age group. Recovery may take a longer time compared to younger patients and this should also be considered in the design phase.
We took a quick look at unique characteristics of different age groups. Let us now look at details of 3DC and 3SC combination techniques suitable for each age group.

Haslam makes appointment to appeals court
NASHVILLE (AP) — Gov. Bill Haslam has appointed Crockett County lawyer Brandon O. Gibson to the western section of the Tennessee Court of Appeals.
In a Thursday news release, Haslam says Gibson will replace Judge David R. Farmer when his term expires Aug. 31.
The 38-year-old Gibson has been in private practice at the Pentecost & Glenn law firm in Jackson since 2003.
Her practice there has focused on governmental entity defense, employment defense, commercial litigation, civil rights litigation and transactional services. Her work for the firm has included its satellite office in Crockett County.
Prior to her work at Pentecost & Glenn, Gibson was at the Waldrop & Hall law firm in Jackson from 2001 to 2003. She was previously at the Potter Minton firm in Tyler, Texas.


Though unable to give the UP community a championship, former UP Maroons team captain Paul Desiderio received his own branch of Chooks-to-Go from Bounty Agro Ventures Inc., whose owner, himself a UP alumnus, said he was touched by the athlete's will during the games.
Ronald Mascariñas, president of Bounty Agro Ventures Inc. and an alumnus of the UP Los Baños said he decided to award the branch to Desiderio because he was moved by Desiderio's determination to make the whole UP community proud during the UAAP finals.
"Sa tuwa ko at on behalf of the UP community, maluwag sa loob ko na ibigay kay Paul ang Chooks-to-Go store na ito… Nakita niyo naman nung Finals, hindi siya nag-give up. Lumaban siya para sa UP. And we hope that he can still continue to inspire others, especially the youth, even if he is in the pros," Mascariñas said.
Surprised by his fellow Isko's gesture, Desiderio expressed his gratitude over the franchise as this will serve as an additional source of income for him, aside from what he will earn as PBA player.
"Hindi ko ito ine-expect kasi ang sabi nila, magkaka-store ako kapag nanalo kami ng championship… Laking pasasalamat ko kay Boss Ronald (Mascariñas) at sa Chooks-to-Go dahil magiging malaking tulong ito sa family ko," Desiderio said.
Desiderio has chosen an existing store in Fairview, near UP.

Jokanovic proud Fulham stuck to style in Wembley win
Captain Tom Cairney struck the only goal to send Fulham back to the Premier League, much to the delight of Slavisa Jokanovic.
27 May, 2018 01:41 IST
Slavisa Jokanovic hailed Fulham's ability to stick to their principles under pressure as a 1-0 win at Wembley over Aston Villa secured promotion to the Premier League.
Tom Cairney's first-half goal settled a tight contest and Fulham held on for victory despite playing the last 20 minutes with 10 men following the dismissal of Denis Odoi, who caught Jack Grealish with a high boot.
Jokanovic has been linked with a switch to Chelsea, should the FA Cup winners dispense with Antonio Conte, but the Serbian was thrilled Fulham were able to follow through on his plan.
"I am so excited for my club, for these supporters," Jokanovic told Sky Sports. "We showed we could follow the style that we followed for the past two years, in this stadium.
"I'd have preferred to do the job earlier but, to be promoted at this place in front of these fans, I have to be satisfied. I'm happy with what my team offered today and how we played our football."
Captain Cairney predicted a bright future for Fulham following their return to the top flight.
"We knew we wouldn't shrink in this environment," Cairney said to Sky Sports. "The pitch suits us, with the way we play football.
"In my eyes, over the past two seasons, we've been the best team in this league. I signed a contract extension for a reason. I believe what we're doing here is something special."
While Fulham were left to celebrate their success, defeat was tough to take for Villa boss Steve Bruce, who rued refereeing decisions.
"We were disappointed with the first half," Bruce said. "We didn't do enough to ask them real questions. We did in the second half.
"For me, Ryan Fredericks should have been sent off. He stamped on Jack Grealish, right in front of me. In the second half, we were much better. We just needed a break, but we didn't get one.
"I was totally disappointed with the first half. We all are. With a big game, it's tough to swallow. But we're Aston Villa. We'll dust ourselves down next year and try and go one better."

Meghan Markle's Father Suggests She Exaggerated Royal Racism
PH March 9, 2021, 6:10 pm
Meghan Markle's estranged father on Tuesday suggested that his daughter exaggerated racism in the British royal family during her interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey.
Thomas Markle told ITV the couple's two-hour chat with Winfrey was "way over the top" and suggested a royal family member could have asked a "dumb question" about her future baby's skin colour.
The 76-year-old Emmy-winning former lighting director was interviewed from his home in Mexico by one of Meghan's most vehement critics, the former tabloid newspaper editor Piers Morgan.
"They (Harry and Meghan) went way over the top with these stories with Oprah and should have waited, considering the Queen's age and Philip's age," he said of the CBS show broadcast on Sunday.
Harry's grandmother Queen Elizabeth II is 94 and her husband Prince Philip is 99 and currently in hospital recovering from a heart operation.
He played down Meghan and Harry's comments that an unnamed royal family member had asked how dark her baby's skin would be.
"This whole thing about colour and how dark the baby is, is bullshit," said Markle, who is white while Meghan's mother is black.
"I'm guessing and hoping that it's just a dumb question from somebody. I don't think the British royal family are racist."
At the same time, he said he was upset by his daughter's account of feeling suicidal after joining the royal family in 2018.
"Had I known she had psychological problems, I would have been there for her," he said.
But he claimed that Meghan had "pretty much ghosted" her family in the US and "she really had no one to reach out to".
Thomas Markle separated from Meghan's mother Doria Ragland when the duchess was young.
Raglan was at her wedding at Windsor Castle and has had tea with the queen but she dropped contact with her father soon after her wedding.
Thomas Markle declined to attend after he took part in staged paparazzi photos. He also cited forthcoming heart surgery.
"They didn't care if I died," he claimed while saying he wanted to see Meghan, Harry, and his grandson Archie, who are now living in California after quitting the royal frontline last year.
Meghan won a legal victory in February against the publisher of the Mail on Sunday newspaper after it printed a private letter from her provided by her father.
He said he released part of the letter because Meghan's friends were telling "lies" about him.
US magazine People cited Meghan's friends as saying she wrote she loved her father and was heartbroken by his behaviour.
The part he did not release was "horrible", he said. "The word love was never written by her for me."
Meghan told Winfrey in the interview that she had tried to protect both her parents before the wedding but felt "betrayal" when she found out he was cooperating with newspapers.
"I'm just trying to decide if I'm comfortable even talking about that," she added.

Dead-tree fake news purveyors hit by weekend hack attack
by Stephen Z. Nemo Dec 31, 2018
written by Stephen Z. Nemo Dec 31, 2018
WASHINGTON. This past Saturday, computer systems responsible for processing the dead-tree fake news editions of numerous newspapers were hit by a crippling hack attack of unknown origin. The Los Angeles Times, San Diego Union Tribune, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, Annapolis Capital Gazette, South Florida Sun Sentinel, Orlando Sentinel, Hartford Courant, New York Daily News, and the west coast editions of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal all experienced long delays in printing and distribution due to this latest cyber attack on an American business.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un meets a fiery end in the film "The Interview." Screen capture.
It was reminiscent of the cyber-attack that rocked Hollywood in November of 2014. That bit of nastiness was inspired by the impending release of the film "The Interview," a comedy which happened to depict the fiery death of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
Dead-tree fake news publications: Were they hit by a hack attack, malware or a virus?
According to the Los Angeles Times, the malware attack "originated from outside the United States."
A report from Business Insider indicated that the company controlling most newspapers affected by this latest hack attack on American businesses might have been victims of a virus.
"Tribune Publishing spokeswoman Marisa Kollias said the virus hurt back-office systems used to publish and produce 'newspapers across our properties.'
"'There is no evidence that customer credit card information or personally identifiable information has been compromised,' Kollias said in a statement.
"The Wall Street Journal and New York Times did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
"Most San Diego Union-Tribune subscribers were without a newspaper on Saturday as the virus infected the company's business systems and hobbled its ability to publish, the paper's editor and publisher Jeff Light wrote on its website."
The Feds look into latest business hack attack by foreign criminals based outside the US
Business Insider said the Federal government was also looking into the hack attack on American dead-tree fake news purveyors.
"A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said it was studying the situation.
"'We are aware of reports of a potential cyber incident affecting several news outlets, and are working with our government and industry partners to better understand the situation,' said DHS spokeswoman Katie Waldman in a statement."
A little dictator attacks Hollywood: A bit of useful history
Suspected North Korean hacker Park Jin-hyok. CBS News screen capture.
You may recall how foreign hackers – later suspected to be North Korean – purloined the sensitive emails of Sony Pictures Entertainment executives in reaction to a Seth Rogen comedy film they didn't like. During that hack attack, the cyber-criminals threatened to post those Sony executive emails online if "The Interview" – a film satirizing North Korea's President and his minions – was released in theaters as scheduled.

Calling themselves the "Guardians of Peace," the hackers also threatened 9/11-style hack attacks against theaters showing the film. Foreign censors hit Hollywood. Who knew? And Hollywood still thinks that the world's only remaining fascist currently lives in the White House.
Explosive SONY emails surface in Norkie hack attack

As it turned out, the only explosions detonated in La-La Land by the Norkie hack attack were the various reactions to the release of the stolen emails. Like the exchange between Sony's Motion Picture Group chairwoman Amy Pascal and producer Scott Rudin. Rudin was horrified to learn that actress Angelina Jolie had a film about Cleopatra then in development.
"I'm not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat," wrote Rudin. "She's a camp event and a celebrity and that's all and the last thing anybody needs is to make a giant bomb with her that any fool could see coming."
The pair also made racially charged remarks regarding the possible movie viewing proclivities of President Barack Obama. So much for Hollywood's universal adoration of the now-former President.
In another exchange between Pascal and Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper, the latter described comedian Kevin Hart as a "whore" for demanding additional cash to promote a film on social media.
Oh, and in another email exchange, Pascal described Leonardo DiCaprio as "despicable."
Responding to a lawsuit, Sony paid $8 million to its current and former employees for the invasion of privacy. The amount also covered legal fees they may have incurred due to the computer breach caused by the hack attack.
The egos of many a Hollywood "talent" suffered a severe bruising. That resulted in the sidelining of careers for a few Sony executives. Like Amy Pascal.
Kim Jong Un, North Korea's Rocket Man, blinks and agrees to talks with President Trump
What do the hackers know?
Getting back to computer the cyber-attacks on America's dying dead-tree fake news media, what else did these digital foreign agitators pilfer? Like the North Korean hackers before them, did they find interesting and embarrassing emails showing the communications between and among those nefarious barons and minions of fake news, pre-internet style?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Dale Seehaver, Father of former Light Super Stock competitor Doug Seehaver, has passed
The WTPA family is saddened to report the passing on Thursday, March 12 of Dale Seehaver of Princeton, WI. Dale was the father of former Light Super Stock competitor, Doug Seehaver. They use to campaign the Minneapolis-Moline G1000 they called "Mo Power" in the early 2000's until they decided to hang it up after the 2008 season. Dale made a name for himself by repairing, restoring, and reselling farm tractors. He was known "That Minnie Guy" and he even pulled his prized 5 Star Minnie. Our deepest sympathies are with the Seehaver family and friends as they grieve their loss of Dale.

The Hanhart 750 is a 19 ligne stop watch movement with a resolution of 1⁄10 second and a maximal timing size of 15 minutes.
Its three buttons allow additive timings.
The ring balance is beared in two KIF Trior shock protection bearings (only on the movement side with a jewel) and beats with 36000 A/h. It controls a pin lever movement, where, unlike on standard pin lever movements, the fourth wheel is not driven by the escapement wheel, but by another wheel inbetween. Additionally, the fourth wheel with its center second hand makes two full revolutions per minute.
On the dial side, there's a slotted lever shift, which is responsible for starting and stopping and another one for the resetting of the hands. On start/stop, the balance wheel is moved, so that a reliable start is guaranteed.

Prince Harry, Prince William Will be 'Quite Uncomfortable' With New Seasons of 'The Crown,' Says Royal Expert
The upcoming season of The Crown is going to be covering some of the most painful times in recent memory for the Royal Family, and it might prove to be very difficult for Prince William and Prince Harry to stomach. ET recently sat down with royal expert Katie Nicholl, who helped shine some light on what the princes may be struggling with when it comes to season 5 of The Crown, which largely covers the 1990s -- a particularly tumultuous and dark time for the family. "I think this series is going to be quite uncomfortable viewing, not just for [Queen Consort] Camilla and [King] Charles but also for William and Harry," Nicholl explained. "Scenes leading up to their mother's death are going to be very, very uncomfortable for them." Princess Diana died in a shocking car crash in Paris in 1997, at the age of 36. At the time, William and Harry were 15 and 12, respectively

The Smart Company Kids Zone is where learning and fun come together for all ages. Whether it's a field trip for schools or qualifying for American Ninja Warrior, they have it all in one.
There is a gap in financial intelligence with kids and adults. The HOOK is the Zone to get families in the door where learning is in the air.
Financial Intelligence Headquarters starts with stock market education because companies are the wheels that drive the economy, it's Capitalism.
ONE of a kind Family Entertainment Center is themed after the stock market, where families learn through osmosis.
The Zone embraces ALL FAMILY EVENTS from a toddler's birthday, weddings, family reunions or corporate teaming building for locals and Hilton Head Island tourists.
The Smart Company Kids, Danny, Michael, Grady, Daisy, Kate and Christopher, went out for breakfast at a restaurant and the kids wanted to play a game. They had the idea to name the companies in the Dow 30.
A couple in their 60's came in and sat across from them. As the kids took turns trying to name more than the other, the man looked at them and said "what are you doing." Michael answered and said "naming the Dow 30, want to play?" The man jokingly said, maybe we
should leave, you know a lot more than we know!
Daisy came home from school and told the family she had a great time in school that day. When asked why, she said "they had a scavenger hunt." When asked what they were hunting, she said "they had to find three products the companies made and put them in the company bag with the name."
Grady was playing the Stocks Market Kings and Queens' video game that The Zone had an animator design about the stock market.
When you play, you identify the company, name the CEO, three products, the sector and
headquarters. The player leaps from building to building, boards the plane with the correct
company sector and parachutes to a map of the US to find the headquarters. The game is
all fun and play. His mother asked him why he liked the game. I asked if he liked it better
than Fortnite. He said yes because he's "learning something."
When an adult asked Grady what he knew about CEOs, he responded by saying "well, I can tell you that the Starliner never made it to outer space and the 737 is still grounded, so Dennis Mullenberg is not the Boeing CEO anymore.
One of the Smart Company kids, Danny asked why Target was not in the Dow 30 like Walmart. The same kid on the way to the airport saw a Boeing facility and told his parents "that is one of the Dow 30." These are the kind of things they learn without knowing it.

Chrissy Teigen Wore A Crop Top For Mother's Day & The Internet Said New Moms Can't Do That
By Keiko Zoll
Mother's Day: The one day of the year when moms, for the most part, get to sit back and bask in the glory of some well-deserved and hard-earned appreciation. For new moms, the annual observance is always particularly special, marking a lifetime of Mother's Days to follow now that the baby has arrived. That is of course, unless you're a supermodel. On Sunday, new mama Chrissy Teigen wore a crop top in a Mother's Day Instagram post — and you'd think the woman had committed a some kind of crime based on reactions and comments online.
The 30-year-old model posted a casual photo of herself making some "low and slow" scrambled eggs for her first Mother's Day. Teigen gave birth to a daughter, Luna Simone Stephens, on April 14. In her photo, Teigen rocked her post-baby body — just one month since Luna was born — with a white crop top and daisy dukes, and one gorgeous (and very comfy looking) floral robe. There were more than 6,000 comments on the post, and entirely too many people decided it was totally OK to body shame a new mother on her very first Mother's Day. Look, I don't care if she is a supermodel with impeccable genes: Body shaming isn't cool no matter who the target of such criticism is.
The Instagram comment section got downright ugly, with gems including: "She hit the genetics lottery! Its just her make up and she is very lucky. I'm still trying to lose my baby weight after 15 years!" and "She might make the food, but she does NAT eat the food." Some commenters even took shots at the veracity of her claim to motherhood: "maybe she was never pregnant... Maybe she had a surrogate..." or just got downright vitriolic: "oh good. Let me just go die now." Some of the comments claim that Teigen has placed unrealistic expectations for new moms to snap back and get in shape as fast as she has post-birth.
But that's just the tip of the criticism iceberg for Teigen as of late: There's been a lot of internet vitriol swirling about what she should and shouldn't do, like the totally unnecessary flak she got for going out to dinner nine days after giving birth to Luna. And, of course, folks couldn't resist commenting and clucking when Teigen posted a Snapchat selfie in her underwear just three weeks after giving birth.
With the seemingly never-ending levels of new mom guilt, including everything from breast vs. bottle, baby-wearing, to when or if to go back to work — why is the internet so up in arms about whether a new mom wears a crop top one month postpartum, or the fact that Teigen's body appears to have "snapped back" so quickly and so well? Sadly, I think a lot of it has to do with a culture of the objectification of women. Think about it: For many commenters, Teigen has been reduced to her crop top and seemingly "flat" belly — but let's all just take a step back and acknowledge her for who she is, not what. Teigen is a new mom who was just trying to enjoy her first Mother's Day.
Husband John Legend shared this beautiful photo of Luna with a special message to his wife:
To my wonderful wife, @chrissyteigen. Luna and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. If our daughter can be even half as awesome as you, I will be so happy and proud. Happy 1st Mother's Day!
To be fair, there were also plenty of Mother's Day well wishes for the first-time mother after IVF, and one commenter even raised a very good point: "Why are u cooking? You should have breakfast in bed." Well, John?
But back to the matter at hand: How about when a mom — Chrissy Teigen or otherwise — shares a candid moment of her own new motherhood we raise her up instead of tear her down, with a congratulatory "Good on you for remembering to eat because it's damn near impossible when you have a newborn!" New moms have enough to worry about without having to feel like they are somehow shaming other mothers for how they choose to dress themselves.

A rise in cases of bird flu have prompted new housing measures to prevent the spread Pic credit: jarun011/Getty
jarun011
New housing measures for captive birds will be brought into force on December 14th to protect against avian influenza
The Chief Veterinary Officers for England, Scotland and Wales have agreed to bring in new measures to help protect poultry and captive birds, following a number of cases of avian influenza in both wild and captive birds in the UK.
The new housing measures, which will come into force on 14 December, mean that it will be a legal requirement for all bird keepers to keep their birds indoors and to follow strict biosecurity measures in order to limit the spread of and eradicate the disease.
Public health advice is that the risk to human health from the virus is very low and food standards bodies advise that avian influenzas pose a very low food safety risk for UK consumers, and it does not affect the consumption of poultry products including eggs.
Government Chief Veterinary Officers are encouraging bird keepers to use the next 11 days to prepare for new housing measures, including taking steps to safeguard animal welfare, consult their vet and, where necessary, put up additional housing.
These housing measures build on the strengthened biosecurity regulations that were brought in as part of the Avian Influenza Protection Zone (AIPZ) on 11 November. The AIPZ means that all poultry and captive bird keepers need to take extra precautions, such as cleaning and disinfecting equipment, clothing and vehicles, limiting access to non-essential people on their sites, and workers changing clothing and footwear before entering bird enclosures.
The UK Government has worked closely with the Scottish and Welsh Governments to introduce the new housing measures at the same time, meaning that the restrictions will be applied across the whole of Great Britain.
A joint statement from Great Britain's three Chief Veterinary Officers said:
"We have taken swift action to limit the spread of the disease and are now planning to introduce a legal requirement for all poultry and captive bird keepers to keep their birds housed or otherwise separate from wild birds.
"Whether you keep just a few birds or thousands, from 14 December onwards you will be legally required to keep your birds indoors, or take appropriate steps to keep them separate from wild birds. We have not taken this decision lightly, but it is the best way to protect your birds from this highly infectious disease."
Poultry and captive bird keepers are advised to be vigilant for any signs of disease in their birds and any wild birds, and seek prompt advice from their vet if they have any concerns. They can help prevent avian flu by maintaining good biosecurity on their premises, including:
housing or netting all poultry and captive birds
cleansing and disinfecting clothing, footwear, equipment and vehicles before and after contact with poultry and captive birds – if practical, use disposable protective clothing
reducing the movement of people, vehicles or equipment to and from areas where poultry and captive birds are kept, to minimise contamination from manure, slurry and other products, and using effective vermin control
thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting housing at the end of a production cycle
keeping fresh disinfectant at the right concentration at all points where people should use it, such as farm entrances and before entering poultry and captive bird housing or enclosures
minimising direct and indirect contact between poultry and captive birds and wild birds, including making sure all feed and water is not accessible to wild birds
The new housing measures will be kept under regular review as part of the government's work to protect flocks.
Poultry and captive bird keepers and members of the public should report dead wild birds to the Defra helpline on 03459 33 55 77 (option 7), and keepers should report suspicion of disease to APHA on 03000 200 301. Keepers should familiarise themselves with our avian flu advice.
Avian influenza is in no way connected to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and is not carried in poultry or captive birds.

Фридлант, Фридлант в Чехії (нім. Friedland) — місто на півночі Чехії в Ліберецькому окрузі Ліберецького краю. Розташоване на височині, що межує з Їзерськими горами. Через місто протікає річка Смеда.

Населення — приблизно 7500 чоловік.

Історія

Вважається, що замок Фридлант був побудований у 40-х роках XIII століття, щоб захистити країну від очікуваного вторгнення татар. У 1278 безпосередньо під замком на березі річки Смеда біля броду було поселення з невеликим костелом та ринком.

Під час німецької колонізації за володарювання Біберштейнів поселення було розширене та підвищене до статусу міста. Воно було захищене стіною, ровом та частоколом, а вхід забезпечувала пара воріт: перші вели до броду, а другі — до замоку. В цей час, на протилежному березі Смеди також виникло поселення Вєтров. За даними земельної книги 1552 у місті та передмістях було 234 будинки і там працювали ремісники (ткачі, кравці, м'ясники та ін.)

За правління Біберштейнів місто пережило кілька пожеж, а в 1428 —1433 — декілька набігів гуситів. У 1551 Фридлант знову потрапив до королівських володінь, а згодом місто викупив рід Редернів. Міщанам було підтверджено міські привілеї. В цей час була побудована нова ратуша, оздоблена гербами Редернів та Шліків, почалось мощення вулиць бруківкою. Наприкінці XVI століття біля старого замку Редерни збудували новий ренесансний замок, прикрашений зграфіто та нову замкову каплицю, присвячену Святій Анні.

Після битви на Білій горі 1620,  Криштоф Редернський змушений був втікати з маєтку, а Фридлант перейшов у руки Альбрехта Валленштейна.

Фердинанд II надав Альбрехту маєтки Фридлант та Ліберець у феод, а Валленштейн через рік заплатив за ці області 150 тис. златих. Альбрехт не підтвердив пивоварне право міста і заборонив протестантську віру.  Проте у цей період розвивалась економіка міста, наприклад  виробництво пороху (на потреби війни) та паперу. Регіон також був позбавлений труднощів війни протягом 1620-х, за що отримав назву "щаслива земля" (terra felix).

Місто було пограбоване 1629 хорватськими воїнами. У 1631 відбулось вторгнення саксів, під час якого Криштоф з Редерну захотів повернутись до свого маєтку. Однак вторгнення було невдалим.

У 1634 маєток придбала родина Галлас. В той час саме вирувала тридцятилітня війна і місто по черзі окупували різні сторони конфлікту. Загалом, десять разів владу переймали то шведи, то імператорські війська, потім місто згоріло і 1639 шведи зайняли замок. Під час їх окупації, на початку 1640, Криштоф Редернський навіть повернувся до замку і був оголошений власником маєтків Фридлант, Ліберець та Завідув. Проте у березні 1640 імперські війська знову зайняли Фридлант і Криштофу довелося (назавжди) залишити свої маєтки.

Після Ґалласів володарями навколишніх маєтків стали Клам-Ґалласи і правили тут до ХХ століття. Під час їх правління Фридлант зазнав труднощів Семирічної війни. В 1813 його захопила армія Наполеона.

Впродовж століть Фридлант був економічно важливішим від сусіднього Ліберця. Але це змінилося у ХІХ столітті з розвитком текстильної промисловості, який активніше проходив саме у Ліберці.

У серпні 2010 місто постраждало від повені, коли розлилася річка Смеда. Ще перед цим, у квітні того ж року в місті розпочалася реконструкція площі Т. Г. Масарика під керівництвом архітекторів Владіміра Балди та Їржі Янурека. Роботи закінчили до вересня 2011. Реконструкцію високо оцінили архітектор Адам Гебріан і Центр чеської архітектури. За цю роботу обидва архітектори посіли перше місце на конкурсі Think Arch.

Step Around
June 2, 2017 - November 5, 2017
Step Around (1976) by William Sellers is an 18 foot tall stainless steel abstract geometric sculpture presented as the latest installation in RoCo's new public art program. Also launching on June 2 and permanently on view, The Metropolitan will host Reprogression (1976) as part of a larger public art installation at Main & Clinton in Downtown Rochester.
Step Around and Reprogression were produced by Sellers as part of a three artwork set intended to be installed together. A permanent installation site for all three large sculptures was never found, however Reprogression was exhibited at RoCo's predecessor, Pyramid Art Center, then acquired by Sentry Group for the company's growing art collection. In 2016, the work was generously gifted to RoCo by former Sentry Group owner Richard Brush.
Additionally, Phillips Fine Art and Frame features In Retrospect: Sculpture, Paintings, Drawings, a new exhibition of Sellers' paintings, drawings, and small sculptures from the 1950s to 2015.
William Sellers (Bay City, MI) is a highly regarded sculptor in the Rochester area. First trained as an architect, he taught sculpture for several years at the Rochester Institute of Technology and was an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Rochester. In addition to many regional shows, including a one-man show at the Memorial Art Gallery, his work has been included in two Whitney Museum Biennials and in exhibitions at the Stephen Radich Gallery in New York City, The Detroit Institute of Arts, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Colgate University, and Hofstra University. Sellers' work is represented in numerous collections.

Work will start on Monday 29 October to improve safety at the intersection of Ballina Road and the Bruxner Highway at Alstonville.
Nationals Parliamentary Secretary for Northern NSW Ben Franklin said the NSW Government is committed to making this intersection safer for the thousands of motorists who pass through it every day.
"Work was completed earlier this year to increase the length of the eastbound merging lane from Ballina Road onto the Bruxner Highway," Mr Franklin said.
"To further improve safety at the intersection, the Bruxner Highway will be widened to provide greater separation for through traffic from motorists turning left into Ballina Road.
"As a high proportion of the serious crashes at this intersection have occurred in the afternoon, Roads and Maritime Services is also working closely with Ballina Shire Council and NSW Police to determine if a ban on motorists turning right out of Ballina Road on to the Bruxner Highway in the late afternoons should be trialled.
"Work on the intersection is expected to be completed before Christmas, weather permitting.
"Roads and Maritime will monitor the safety of the intersection and continue to examine options to further improve safety at this intersection, including longer term solutions.

One of today's most popular patterns for knitting on the needles is "pigtails". It gives the painting a tactile and stylish look. Following our tips you will be able to understand the secret of crochet braids on the spokes.
For a first experience best fit the thick smooth strands. Take two needles and thread and the dial 14 of the loops.
The first loop in a row is always thrown on the needle, not promazyvaya, and the last in the series – always promazyvaya front loop, these loops do not participate in the formation of the pattern.
Take the needle with loops in left hand and empty needle in your right, and start knitting the first row. Provarite 4 reverse loop. When knitting purl loops thread should be between you and the knitting. Pass free knitting needle into the loop from behind, hook the thread and utahnite a new loop on the wrong side of the work. Knit St on left needle throw. After you knit 4 purl loops, proverite 4 facial. To do this, the thread loop over the knitting needle, pass right needle into the loop movement "from itself", hook thread and utahnite a new loop on the front side of the work. Knit St on left needle again throw off. After 4 facial loops provarite again 4 purl loops. The first row is finished.
Expand work and provarite the second row. The first 4 loops provarite facial loops, 4 loop – back, the last loop – back face. Third row provarite as well as the first and the fourth as the second.
Take a cloth, get one of the convex stripe down the middle. Divide this strip into two pieces and twist them together. For this provarite the first 4 loops are reverse loops. Crucial moment: swap the 5 and 6 loops 7 and 8 loop. To do this, remove 5 and 6 loops, then leave them for canvas transfer, not promazyvaya 7 and 8 of the loop on the left needle. Put 5 and 6 loops on right needle, return back 7 and 8 loop. Now on the left needle loops are reversed. Provarite them, as usual, front hinge, finish row 4 purl loops. If the strips wider than 3 loops, use an extra needle.
Tie the sixth series as well as the second (4 front, 4 reverse, 4 front). Then provarite the seventh row (as the first), the eighth (as the second).
Repeat pattern from 5th to 8th row, multiple times if necessary. So you learned how to knit braids on the spokes.
How to knit Braid pattern knitting diagram knitting pattern. Braid Pattern No. 1. This pattern with the third additional spokes get the slope of the loops left and right. To perform "braid" on the spokes dial number of stitches divisible by 11 plus 2 stitches for the symmetry of the pattern, plus 2 edge loops.

Venezuela: UN rights chief 'deeply concerned' by detention of opposition leaders
1 August 2017 – The top United Nations human rights official today expressed deep concern about the detention of two opposition leaders by Venezuelan authorities after Sunday's elections for a Constituent Assembly convened by President Nicolás Maduro.
"I am deeply concerned that opposition leaders Leopoldo Lopez and Antonio Ledezma have again been taken into custody by Venezuelan authorities after their house arrest was revoked," said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein in a statement issued by his Office (OHCHR).
He urged the Government to immediately release all those being held for exercising their rights to freedom of peaceful assembly, association and expression, noting that the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention considers the detention of both Lopez and Ledezma to be arbitrary.
President Maduro has declared victory in Sunday's elections for the new body, which could replace the current National Assembly.
Mr. Zeid also expressed his regret that at least 10 people reportedly died over the weekend amid demonstrations over Sunday's polls, calling for a prompt, effective and independent probe into these deaths.
He urged the authorities "not to make an already extremely volatile situation even worse" through the use of excessive force, including through violent house raids that have occurred in various parts of the country.
"I appeal to all parties to refrain from the use of violence," he said.

De Kroaten zijn een regionale minderheid in Kosovo. Zij worden dikwijls Janjevci genoemd, vernoemd naar het stadje Janjevo nabij de Kosovaarse hoofdstad Pristina. De meeste van de Kroaten in Kosovo zijn dan ook woonachtig in dit stadje of in dorpen in de nabijheid. De Kroaten uit Letnica worden ook Letnicani genoemd.

Geschiedenis

Origine & vroege geschiedenis
 Tot de Janjevci horen twee regionale Kroatische gemeenschappen. Hoogstwaarschijnlijk stammen zij af van handelaren afkomstig uit het 14e-eeuwse Dubrovnik en omgeving in het huidige Kroatië en Bosnië en Herzegovina. Door de eeuwen heen hebben zij hun rooms-katholieke geloof en hun Slavische/Kroatische identiteit behouden.

De eerste vermelding van de Janjevci stamt uit 1303, hierin noemt Paus Benedictus XI Janjevo als het centrum van het katholieke parochie van Sint Nikolaas.

20e eeuw
In de jaren 50 van de 20e eeuw begonnen Janjevci reeds te migreren. Met name in Zagreb woonde een aanzienlijk aandeel van de uit Kosovo afkomstige Kroaten. Een grote gemeenschap Kosovaarse Kroaten was bijvoorbeeld te vinden in de Konjšćinska ulica (straat) in Dubrava, een stadsdeel in Zagreb.

Na de dood van Maarschalk Tito in 1980, wakkerde het nationalisme onder de volkeren in Joegoslavië op. De anti-Kroatische houding in de Servische media (Kosovo was onderdeel van Socialistische Republiek Servië) en de conflicten die ontstonden uit het aanwakkerende nationalisten zorgden ervoor dat de Kosovaarse Kroaten meer en meer begonnen te vertrekken. Zij vestigden zich voornamelijk in moederland Kroatië.

Enkele groepen Kosovaarse Kroaten vestigden zich in 1992 in de verlaten huizen van Kroatische Serviërs, destijds in oorlog met Kroatië. Dit waren Kosovaren uit Letnica die zich vestigden in Voćin, Đulovac en Varešnica, dorpen in Slavonië.

Gedurende de Kosovo-oorlog van 1998-1999 kwam de tweede golf Kroaten in Kosovo in beweging. Na Operatie Storm, vestigden Kosovaarse Kroaten zich in 1996 in de huizen van verdreven Dalmatische Serviërs.

Na de oorlog werden enkele Kroatische families in Letnica geterroriseerd door de meerderheid van etnische Albanezen uit dorpen in de nabijheid. De families richtten zich tot Kroatië om hen te helpen Kosovo te verlaten.

Demografische geschiedenis
Aantal Kroaten* in Kosovo in:
 1948 : 5 290 (0,7 % van de totale bevolking)
 1953 : 6 201 (0,8%)
 1961 : 7 251 (0,8%)
 1971 : 8 264 (0,7%)
 1981 : 8 718 (0,6%)
 1991 : 8 062

-*Het is mogelijk dat Kroaten tijdens de telling ook de mogelijkheid Joegoslaaf hebben opgegeven.

Demografische verspreiding

Kroatië
De minderheid van de Janjevci heeft zich in Kroatië gevestigd. Volgens volkstelling in 2002 leefden er 966 Janjevci-families in Kroatië. 669 families waren woonachtig in Zagreb de overige 297 in andere delen van Kroatië, waaronder Slavonië en Dalmatië.

Kosovo

Vandaag de dag leven er nog maar weinig Kroaten in Kosovo. Dit is te wijten aan de slechte economische situatie in het Balkanland, het aanwakkerende nationalisme in de jaren 80 en de Kosovaarse oorlog.

Vandaag de dag leven er nog slechts 320 Kroaten in Janjevo. Deze zijn langzamerhand nog steeds aan het verhuizen naar Kroatië. De eigendommen van Kroaten worden dan opgekocht door etnische Albanezen en Roma-zigeuners.

In de gemeente Vitina, met het dorp Letnica, leven nog 60 Kroaten, na een volkstelling van 2003.

5 Petitions To Get The Equal Rights Amendment Ratified
By Jessicah Lahitou
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News/Getty Images
On its face, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) reads like the sort of legislation most elected leaders would be thrilled to vote for. It is a straightforward declaration that women be treated equally under the law. It may seem hard to believe, but this basic proposition has been met with lots of opposition over its struggle towards ratification. That's why, in 2017, there are several Equal Rights Amendment petitions asking that 21st century supporters join the decades-long movement by adding their names to a growing list of new voices demanding that the ERA be approved.
Some of the arguments against the ERA are now wholly outdated, such as longtime opponent Phyllis Schlafly's fear that the presumption of a husband supporting his wife would be upended. That's already come to pass, without ERA ratification. Other concerns from ERA naysayers are still debated, such as whether or not women should be drafted alongside men for military service, an issue that popped up during the 2016 Republican primary. Given the language of the ERA, both women and men would ostensibly be equally eligible for conscription.
But what Alice Paul's original text from 1923 sought was not a dictate on societal norms, but a guarantee enshrined within the Constitution that women be treated equally. Here are a few places to support that vision by signing an ERA petition.
1. Change.org
As in many other places, the description for change.org's petition to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment includes a quote by former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia: "Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn't."
2. MoveOn.org
There are actually several petitions on moveon.org, so feel free to sign them all.
3. ERA Coalition Pledge
While not a traditional petition, the ERA Coalition does have a pledge that supporters can sign, promising to support the Equal Rights Amendment through their votes.
4. Groundswell
Groundswell is a "digital platform for the multifaith movement for justice," connected with Auburn Seminary. Among their many petitions is a call for ERA ratification.
5. CREDO Action
"CREDO Action organizes for progressive change." That's the first line on its "About" page, and its site hosts an array of petitions to sign, including one supporting the ERA.
Of all the petitions, the one with the most momentum appears to be the change.org effort, working with the Equal Means Equal film and social action advocacy. The documentary takes a hard look at the reality of female equality in America today. And it's a powerful reminder of why the ERA remains relevant.
It only takes a few minutes to go through and add your signature to these important petitions. The ERA was passed 45 years ago exactly, and it's time it becomes ratified.


If a Hot Water Heating System is in need of repair, C.A. Smith Mechanical Ltd. has the experts to determine the best course of action to make prompt and efficient repairs. We also take into consideration that heating equipment requires energy usage expectations, here are a types that are most commonly found in North Eastern Nova Scotia.
Oil Boilers - Oil boilers maintain a set temperature and come in a variety of capacities know as BTU's. Larger BTU boilers are used in homes with a greater heat loss, such as older homes with doors and windows that have poor insulation values. The insulation in your home's or business's walls and ceilings can also have a huge impact on the size and cost to run any heating system. It is very important that a heat loss calculation be performed before sizing any boiler for installation.
High-Efficiency Boilers - Can decrease heating bills by about seven percent. This energy-efficient design only heats water when it is used. It needs less space but may require special venting, larger electrical service or the installation of propane gas lines. However, it may reduce water heating bills by as much as 30 percent.
Ground Source Heat Pumps - Are a water to water heat pump that obtains energy from the ground and uses it to pre- heat water, commonly known as Geo-Thermal. By using Geo-Thermal, it can reduce heating costs by nearly 60 percent.
Solar- These systems utilize energy from the sun to produce hot water for your home. By using controls and pumps to circulate water into your home, an insulated storage tank and a backup system is essential for cloudy days and high heating demand.

Unless land suitable for new student accommodation development is already controlled, identifying and acquiring suitable land can present a challenge. Osborne has a highly experienced team of surveyors with an enviable track record in site identification and assembly.
In many cases Osborne has identified land (or existing buildings) and negotiated their acquisition to bring forward new student development. Our schemes in Winchester, Southampton & Cambridge all brought vacant or underused brownfield sites back to life, which often acts as a catalyst for further investment in the locality.
A good site is nothing without a viable planning consent. Osborne takes a collaborative approach to design and planning. We work closely with the local authority, our partners, neighbours and other stakeholders to guide schemes through the planning process and ensure they are deliverable and fully reflective of the client's needs.
Success in sensitive locations such as Cambridge, Chichester & Winchester resulted from this collaborative approach.

An Island Canvas - Art Alfresco on Tresco
Tresco is to become home to an outdoor art exhibition this summer - the first of its kind in the country. Renowned landscape artist, Anthony Garratt, will be capturing our dramatic scenery in situ at four locations across the island. The paintings will then be exhibited at the very spot where they were painted for all to enjoy, exposed to the elements...whatever the weather.
Anthony will start creating the alfresco works at the end of May. Each painting will be up to two and a half metres wide and all of them will remain in their outdoor island gallery until the end of September. Quite literally, they'll be beautiful landscapes in a beautiful landscape.
Anthony, who is based in Bristol, has been a resident artist on Tresco for five years. Anthony's art, which takes inspiration from the natural landscape and the weather, has recently featured on a BBC2 art series and BBC1, following an invite to paint live the Queens Jubilee from Millennium Bridge. Anthony's artwork is also represented by leading institutions, including the acclaimed Thackeray Gallery in London.
Anthony commented: "Having spent a few years studying and painting Tresco's landscapes, I'm really looking forward to doing something on this scale. Each painting will take about a day and will be created impulsively depending on the weather."
"Although small, the island has such a varying and fascinating landscape. Tresco's shoreline is made up of arcs of white sand, whilst inland there is heathland, woodland and lush green pasture which makes for such different paintings."
Anthony added: "By exhibiting the paintings in the place they were painted, island visitors will each have their own personal experience with the creations. The painting's appearance will change as the light and weather shifts around them, offering a thought-provoking take on the island's unique microclimate. By taking the paintings directly to the outside, we hope it will help bring art to a new audience, a novel concept which I hope will take on in the next few years across the UK."
Tresco Island is already home to an extensive art display. The collection, comparable to that of Tate St Ives, is one of the most extensive collections of 20th-century and British modern art connected with Cornwall and Scilly. Guests will find works by the likes of Dame Laura Knight, Alfred Wallis, Mary Fedden and Jack Pender dotted across the island, on display in accommodation and the island's restaurants.
Robert Dorrien-Smith, owner of Tresco island, said: "It is a great opportunity for everyone on Tresco to be part of this exciting outdoor art exhibition project. Art is so deeply rooted in the island that doing an exhibition of this scale was a natural decision. We're looking forward to seeing Anthony's large-scale paintings of the island's beautiful landscapes and are sure they will all become a talking point for both residents and guests to enjoy."
About Anthony: born in Sevenoaks, Kent, Anthony studied at Chelsea College of Art and then Falmouth College of Arts for a design degree. Having worked as a designer for a few years in London, he was able to take up painting full-time after a couple of successful shows and is now in great demand across the country. Anthony is predominantly a painter of the British landscape. His work is concerned with the weather, an experience and impact of a landscape. His research time is spent in heavy weather in remote locations and places that have an emotional impact. Inspiration comes from the British landscape and ever-changing climate.
Anthony is a regular exhibitor at the Royal West of England Academy, has also shown work at the Royal Academy Summer Shows and the Royal College of Arts Henry Moore Gallery having featured on a recent BBC2 art series.

Many folks always ask me what the impact of randomized trials are on development. We at Innovations for Poverty Action and the M.I.T. Jameel Poverty Action Lab are dedicated to randomized trials to help push forward evidence-based policymaking. Yet what is the evidence that evidence shifts views? Not always so easy to do. I've done some work on the donor side, which I've reported on here before. Here is a meta-study that uses two of my studies that found fairly different results. One found that access to credit in South Africa led to increased income, the other found that access to credit in the Philippines had no discernible impact on income.
The researchers sent off about 1,500 mailers to microfinance institutions around the world, telling them about the positive study, the negative (or non-positive, technically) study, or a placebo (no mention of a study), and asked them if they wanted to participate in a randomized trial to measure the impact of their organization. They then saw which microfinance leaders responded, and whether they responded favorably or negatively.
The choice of my research I assume was simple: I have results that contradict themselves (in a simple outcome measure of income; I'm not sure I'd say they actually contradict each other once context is taken into account). So this allowed them to hold researcher identity constant, to keep as much the same across treatment groups. Glad Jonathan Zinman and my potentially confusing results could serve a greater purpose!
Check out here for the results here.
Bottom line: hearing about positive results elsewhere helps bring in more partners for more research. Negative results drives folks away.
Recently there has been a lot of press, especially in business media, about the decline in mortgage applications and home sales. This decline has been attributed solely to the increase in interest rates (particularly government bond rates). There's a great deal of evidence, both anecdotal and statistical that indicates the real reason is the extreme restrictions banks and mortgage originators have placed on potential borrowers - for both new mortgages and re-financings. A near perfect credit score, perfect mortgage payment history (in some cases going back 30+ years), huge liquid assets in excess of the desired mortgage, abundant cash flow, property appraisal nearly double the requested mortgage doesn't guarantee success. This process drags on for many months and requires mountains of personal financial documentation, some as insignificant as a few hundred dollars, and some going back 35 years. It's a near impossibility for most people and many get tired of the process and just don't proceed with the financing out of frustration. I've spoken to a number of people who confirm all of what I'm saying. I conclude this must be having a significant negative affect on the overall economy as well as the housing market. Any thoughts?

I was excited for the 5D till i saw the specs. Canon seems to just give a little each camera release and then bump up the price. Its almost as if their tech is already old and behind when they release new cameras.

I believe that adds up to 200. And I know the rest not listed will get some time with injuries and blowouts.
I would be surprised if Trice plays 26 mpg next season. He does not appear to have a shot in his videos and he is a 50% free thrower. Even a very good rebounder (which is his claim to fame) will not be able to play in certain situations if he can't improve his free throwing. I think he will be doing well to get 15-20 mpg as a junior. Hopefully by his senior year he has a more complete game and can get major minutes.
I also think Kam will play more than 20 mpg assuming he is fully healthy. As Coach Lowery pointed out, he played almost 40 minutes in the win against UK -- and he is still coming off injury.
I also wonder what other roster changes are coming -- obviously one, but perhaps more than one. That could affect minutes as well.
I would think CW will have to think about a moderation of DW minutes if they wish to ensure they have him for the post season and the NBA draft.
Two seasons ago Dean had a stretch of about eight games when he wasn't feeling 100%, last year he could not contribute to the post season play.
I understand he was hurt in high school.
If they can sit Dean early without losing any games, they have think about it. For the team and for Dean.
Whoever is playing well will get the minutes.
Continue to try to get better, keep recruiting. One more good player.
I actually hope you're right about Dean's minutes but after listening to Lowery and Weber and knowing his past substitution patterns I don't think it'll happen. It's awful hard to see your best players sit on the bench beside you in a conference game. (Dean or Barry). Unless CW totally changes from past seasons I would imagine I've understated Dean, Barry's, and X's minutes. And the other 2 spots will depend on whose playing well at the time. One very telling sign is that Makol's minutes we're going down the further we progressed in the post season even with no Dean. Trice looks very much in the videos like a bigger, maybe more athletic version of DJ. And Weber loves those type of guys.
This is a full game video of Trice against Lakeland Community College. You have to move to about half way through the video before the game starts. I think Trice had 30 and 15 rebounds in this game. However, after watching this, I would anticipate him getting 15 minutes a game as an energy rebounder off the bench. Hope that I am wrong about that and he can play longer minutes at a higher level. To me, he looks like a smaller version of DJ as most of what I see him do is below the rim. For reference, number 21 for Lakeland is 6 ft 10.
Everybody feel free to post your minutes. Of course injuries or something else unexpected could throw everybody off. But it'll be fun to look back on. I can tell you I feel like a kid in a candy sore because I just think we found the missing link to make us really, really good.
Forgot Williams. Put him down for 10 filling in for injuries by others.
My numbers although they will change due to injuries. I see Stokes, McQuirl and Diarra competing for minutes and one will get more than the others but that will be determined by how they are playing.
The young bugs will get about 15 minutes a game but most will go to one of those and that will be determined by how they are playing.
Barry and Dean down to about 30 if we have some games with comfortable leads. If not, bump them up to 32 to 35 per game.
Hope I am wrong about Trice and he is good enough to get more minutes.
And it always seems like there are not enough minutes to go around this time of year. Then come conference time, their are not enough players playing well enough to fill 200 minutes. Been that way as long as I remember.

Coming from you, puffdad, it means a lot to me that you're excited about this pick up. When I see him standing next to Brad Korn, he appears to have decent size. Now, he needs to get into the gym over the summer and work his arse off. It would be huge if he could be an effective rebounder and give some real productive minutes. The only thing I would change, in your minute breakdown, is Makol and Austin. I would switch their minutes at this point in time.

Towable sensor free-falls to measure vertical slices of ocean conditions
28th May 2020	News, Sensors and Transducers 253 Views
The motion of the ocean is often thought of in horizontal terms, for instance in the powerful currents that sweep around the planet, or the waves that ride in and out along a coastline. But there is also plenty of vertical motion, particularly in the open seas, where water from the deep can rise up, bringing nutrients to the upper ocean, while surface waters sink, sending dead organisms, along with oxygen and carbon, to the deep interior.
Oceanographers use instruments to characterise the vertical mixing of the ocean's waters and the biological communities that live there. But these tools are limited in their ability to capture small-scale features, such as the up- and down-welling of water and organisms over a small, kilometer-wide ocean region. Such features are essential for understanding the makeup of marine life that exists in a given volume of the ocean (such as in a fishery), as well as the amount of carbon that the ocean can absorb and sequester away.
Now researchers at MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have engineered a lightweight instrument that measures both physical and biological features of the vertical ocean over small, kilometer-wide patches. The "ocean profiler," named EcoCTD, is about the size of a waist-high model rocket and can be dropped off the back of a moving ship. As it free-falls through the water, its sensors measure physical features, such as temperature and salinity, as well as biological properties, such as the optical scattering of chlorophyll, the green pigment of phytoplankton.
"With EcoCTD, we can see small-scale areas of fast vertical motion, where nutrients could be supplied to the surface, and where chlorophyll is carried downward, which tells you this could also be a carbon pathway. That's something you would otherwise miss with existing technology," says Mara Freilich, a graduate student in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences and the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography/Applied Ocean Sciences and Engineering.
Freilich and her colleagues have published their results in the Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology. The paper's co-authors are J. Thomas Farrar, Benjamin Hodges, Tom Lanagan, and Amala Mahadevan of WHOI, and Andrew Baron of Dynamic System Analysis, in Nova Scotia. The lead author is Mathieu Dever of WHOI and RBR, a developer of ocean sensors based in Ottawa.
Ocean synergy
Oceanographers use a number of methods to measure the physical properties of the ocean. Some of the more powerful, high-resolution instruments used are known as CTDs, for their ability to measure the ocean's conductivity, temperature, and depth. CTDs are typically bulky, as they contain multiple sensors as well as components that collect water and biological samples. Conventional CTDs require a ship to stop as scientists lower the instrument into the water, sometimes via a crane system. The ship has to stay put as the instrument collects measurements and water samples, and can only get back underway after the instrument is hauled back onboard.
Physical oceanographers who do not study ocean biology, and therefore do not need to collect water samples, can sometimes use "UCTDs" — underway versions of CTDs, without the bulky water sampling components, that can be towed as a ship is underway. These instruments can sample quickly since they do not require a crane or a ship to stop as they are dropped.
Freilich and her team looked to design a version of a UCTD that could also incorporate biological sensors, all in a small, lightweight, towable package, that would also keep the ship moving on course as it gathered its vertical measurements.
"It seemed there could be straightforward synergy between these existing instruments, to design an instrument that captures physical and biological information, and could do this underway as well," Freilich says.
"Reaching the dark ocean"
The core of the EcoCTD is the RBR Concerto Logger, a sensor that measures the temperature of the water, as well as the conductivity, which is a proxy for the ocean's salinity. The profiler also includes a lead collar that provides enough weight to enable the instrument to free-fall through the water at about 3 meters per second — a rate that takes the instrument down to about 500 meters below the surface in about two minutes.
"At 500 meters, we're reaching the upper twilight zone," Freilich says. "The euphotic zone is where there's enough light in the ocean for photosynthesis, and that's at about 100 to 200 meters in most places. So we're reaching the dark ocean."
Another sensor, the EcoPuck, is unique to other UCTDs in that it measures the ocean's biological properties. Specifically, it is a small, puck-shaped bio-optical sensor that emits two wavelengths of light — red and blue. The sensor captures any change in these lights as they scatter back and as chlorophyll-containing phytoplankton fluoresce in response to the light. If the red light received resembles a certain wavelength characteristic of chlorophyll, scientists can deduce the presence of phytoplankton at a given depth. Variations in red and blue light scattered back to the sensor can indicate other matter in the water, such as sediments or dead cells — a measure of the amount of carbon at various depths.
The EcoCTD includes another sensor unique to UCTDs — the Rinko III Do, which measures the oxygen concentration in water, which can give scientists an estimate of how much oxygen is being taken up by any microbial communities living at a given depth and parcel of water.
Finally, the entire instrument is encased in a tube of aluminum and designed to attach via a long line to a winch at the back of a ship. As the ship is moving, a team can drop the instrument overboard and use the winch to pay the line out at a rate that the instrument drops straight down, even as the ship moves away. After about two minutes, once it has reached a depth of about 500 meters, the team cranks the winch to pull the instrument back up, at a rate that the instrument catches up to the ship within 12 minutes. The crew can then drop the instrument again, this time at some distance from their last dropoff point.
"The nice thing is, by the time we go to the next cast, we're 500 meters away from where we were the first time, so we're exactly where we want to sample next," Freilich says.
They tested the EcoCTD on two cruises in 2018 and 2019, one to the Mediterranean and the other in the Atlantic, and in both cases were able to collect both physical and biological data at a higher resolution than existing CTDs.
"The ecoCTD is capturing these ocean characteristics at a gold-standard quality with much more convenience and versatility," Freilich says.
The team will further refine their design, and hopes that their high-resolution, easily-deployable, and more efficient alternative may be adapted by both scientists to monitor the ocean's small-scale responses to climate change, as well as fisheries that want to keep track of a certain region's biological productivity.
