Penn State Wrestling: Fargo and Spain

Share All sharing options for: Penn State Wrestling: Fargo and Spain
Believe it or not, friends, we haven't missed a ton of news since our last talk on June 13th. Back then, we looked at USA's World Team Trial results. This past weekend, we got our first Senior Team USA action, as our guys in red, white, and blue traveled across the Atlantic to Madrid, for the Grand Prix of Spain.
From España
This was a "warm up" for Team USA - its first international competition of the season, after a full week training together in Colorado Springs. It's mostly populated by western Euros - which means, in effect, it's the "B" team guys from Russia, because France doesn't have many Frenchmen wrestlers. Rather, they have Russians who weren't making the Russian team for whatever reason (politics as often as skill). Iran also sent some of its "B" squad, for a bit of flair. The brackets haven't been released by UWW just yet, but they'll appear at this page, someday, maybe.
Your Team USA representative at 65kg, Zain Retherford, took Gold by slaughtering the field - 3 or 4 pins, and a tech fall. It looked a lot like this gif below, as no one had an answer for Zain's bow-and-arrow (go figure).
The entire USA squad - sans J'Den Cox, who stayed home to rehab his injured leg - took Gold. 7 for 7. Not a bad start. Next up, the gang travels to Germany for a few weeks of training, and another tournament - its last before the World Championships in Paris.
To Fargo, North Dakota
"Fargo", among wrestlers, has nothing to do with Steve Buscemi. It means Cadet and Junior National Freestyle (and Greco) tournament, wrestled on the Fargo Dome football field. It's huge. 30 mats cover the field from one endzone to the other, as America's top high schoolers fight to make "All-American" - top 8.
Brackets are typically drawn as 128-man parties. (As stated, it's yuge). All of the top kids - save those who already took spots on the Cadet and Junior World Teams - enter the mosh pit. PSU commit Joe Lee was among those. Bumped up to 160lbs, Joe tech'd his way to the semi-finals, where he ran into David Carr, whom he beat back in April at Las Vegas. This time Carr got even, winning a tough 8-6 battle.
At Cadets, Carson Manville - younger brother of PSUer (and Greco Senior World Team member) Mason - ran roughshod, tech'ing the field for a Fargo title at 132lbs. Up at 152lbs, PA's Carter Starocci earned his first Fargo title, winning 7-2. Both are names to keep an eye on in the coming recruiting classes.
Nick Suriano's been the subject of transfer rumors the last month. I think it's a bunch of mostly nothing. But there you go.
Cael's been operating without a new contract since June 30th, but he doesn't seem to mind. Hey Sandy? How's about getting your program that wins all of the championships, and academic titles, and community service awards - how's about getting that staff a new contract? Only one program in America finished top 10 both on the mat and in the classroom the last - well, it's at least the last 5 years, if not more. Let's get it done, shall we? Just listen to the guy - how many coaches talk like that? (Only the great ones).
Speaking of Cael - he spent July 1st in Arizona, visiting super recruit Roman Bravo Young. The July 1st "let's talk scholarship money" date has come and gone, and the unprecedented super-class of recruits remains in place. How? I dunno. This staff works miracles.
The Cenzo - IMar NCAA final is back on YouTube, because of course it is. Why did Flo choose to play whack-a-mole with the entire innerwebs in the first place?
National Duals, in the BCS-like Bowl format, proved a roaring success at the ticketing gate, and was also starting to draw serious interest as an event, garnering some attention from corporate entities interested in advertising/sponsorship. Consequently, it's been cancelled for 2018.
In case we failed to mention it previously, Blue Mountain's Corey Keener grad-transferred from Central Michigan, and will roll around the Lorenzo Wrestling Complex as a 6th-year super senior. He'll help out at 133. Corey won PIAA state titles at 119 and 126 his junior and senior seasons, respectively. That senior season (2012), featured one of the funnier brackets at 3A: 106 lbs. Here were your place-winners: 1st-Ethan Lizak (NCAA runner up last year for MINN); 2nd-Michael Kemerer (Iowa); 3rd-Dom Forys (Pitt); 4th-Scotty Parker (Lehigh); 5th- Zach Fuentes (Drexel); 6th-Jake Gromacki (Pitt ->Clarion); 7th-Vincenzo Joseph (PSU); 8th-Dan Martoccio (F&M). The entire podium went D1, and half have already made All-American.
H/T to SWHA, who reminded us of the bevy of mostly minor NCAA rule changes. Blogger friends IAWrestle grabbed all of the text and published it, which you can peruse at this link. The two that jumped out to us: 1) the new "danger" call, to discourage leg passes and hanging out on your back; and 2) the next to last bullet seems to indicate that high schoolers can compete at NCAA-level "Opens" again (which they used to be able to do prior to....2008-ish, or so). Thus, we might possibly get to see 2018 super recruits Michael Beard vs Gavin Hoffman at this year's Nittany Lion Open, before they head to PSU and OSU, respectively.


Our clients came to us with a program calling for a larger house than the one we built; however, at every budget crossroads, they opted for quality of detail and materials over quantity of space. The resulting house, based on a pinwheel of stone walls that extend the house into the landscape, is assembled from natural materials that will weather well - stone, stucco, wood, slate and copper. The continuity of these materials from inside to outside helps to connect the interior to exterior, and exterior to site.
On the upper floor, the stone walls give way to an exposed timber frame supporting a ventilating cupola and skylights. Each room on this floor borrows light from the raised center via internal skylights that admit light and provide interior vistas while providing acoustic privacy and thermal comforts. Throughout, the careful detailing celebrates the craftsmanship of the builders.
Ten years after the completion of our clients' house, they came back to us asking for an outdoor world to complement it.
A pool, which had been discussed as part of the original design, pool/guest house and a courtyard with fire pit and pizza oven have been added to pull activities outside, taking advantage of a climate where 6 to 8 months per year can be comfortable outdoors.
Original house materials - stone, glass and wood - and their assembly details were mined to create the new structures, although in a looser, more casual way.
Finally, one plus one equals three in the creation of a carefully scaled courtyard between house and pool house - now the best room on the site.

Paper Title :: Challenges of Online Teaching and Learning in the Crisis of Covid 19 in Lupane Rural Schools in Matabeleland North in Zimbabwe
Author Name :: Elphina Mhlanga || Faith Nomathemba Tlou || Zibulo Sibanda
Country :: Zimbabwe
Online learning and teaching during COVID 19 lock-downs and the restrictions that accompanied learning programmes in Lupane rural schools was a challenge. Only learners from the elite, mostly urban families were accessing education leaving the poor disadvantaged mostly rural school learners behind because of lack of ICT facilities. The purpose of this study was to establish why online teaching and learning was a challenge in the light of the COVID 19 restrictions. Its ultimate aim was to reveal the need for equity in online teaching and learning to all learners despite their geographic location. Equity theory underpinned the study as it addressed equality in education issues. This study adopted a qualitative approach and a case study design. In-depth structured interviews and virtual focus group discussions were used to collect data from purposively sampled participants which was thematically analysed. The study revealed that there was lack of electricity, computer facilities and gadgets, as well lack of connectivity in most rural areas. It concluded that there was no equity in education in Zimbabwe during this period as the impoverished learners were not learning. The study recommended that there was need for the Government to provide access to learning through availing funds for educational resources and that the Non-Governmental sector could assist the less privileged in acquiring computer gadgets for online learning.

Paper Title :: Dreamtime: a Leitmotif in Australian Literature
Author Name :: Rumela Ghosh
The attachment to a particular area of land by the Aborigines was based on their Dreamtime beliefs — that the land had been created for them by Ancestral Spirits who continue to live in it. This was a superstitious belief, but it was very important to the Aborigines. Through analysis, I would depict in my write up that this superstition influenced the Aborigines not only in the early ages but it continues till date and I would like to illustrate on this aspect through its reflection in literature. This may very well be explained from a post-colonial point-of-view but I insist that the voicing against repression by the Aborigines and their claim for land rights, basically arise from a strong sense of owning land which had been instilled into them through their Dreaming and Dreamtime beliefs. This sense of dislocation gradually gave way to their (post-colonial) feeling of uprootedness.

Paper Title :: CORRESPONSABILIDAD FAMILIA-ESCUELA COMO PILAR PARA EL DESARROLLO DE LA AUTONOMÍA DURANTE LA ETAPA INFANTIL
Author Name :: Camila Andrea Hurtado Mayorga || Lilian Daniela Monsalvo Cogua || Yuly Carolina Bayona Rodríguez || Guillermo Antonio Ariza Rua || Laura Eunice Cuberos Obando
Country :: Colombia
Based on the results obtained in an exploratory observation practice, it was possible to establish that the children of group C first of the Jean Fritz Piaget Bilingual School, located in the municipality of Soacha, according to their age, have not given rise to development of the basic autonomy necessary for success in the pedagogical processes of teaching, learning and evaluation. The research has made it possible to identify that a large part of these difficulties is related to communication between the family and the school. Then, from a descriptive-qualitative proposal, it is intended to analyze the incidence of the processes of family co-responsibility in the development of autonomy by the children of grade 1 -C of the Jean Fritz Piaget Bilingual School. Currently, the research has made significant progress in the foundation of the proposal, managing to demonstrate, theoretically and conceptually, the importance of the co-responsibility of parents and guardians in pedagogical processes (teaching, learning and evaluation) in the context of early childhood education. Similarly, some elements and principles of this process are identified, in the specific context of the educational institution in which the research is carried out. What is expected is that the importance of the development and strengthening of autonomy in the childhood stage is understood as one of the pillars of comprehensive training. For this reason, the goal of the research work is the design of a pedagogical approach aimed at parents and guardians of grade 1 -C of the Jean Fritz Piaget Bilingual School, in relation to co-responsibility in early childhood education for the development of autonomy.

Paper Title :: Innovation in Education: Transforming a School into Sustainable, through the design and implementation of an innovative program in three areas of action
Author Name :: Tallou Konstantina
This paper presents in detail the introduction of sustainability in our Kindergarten. The innovation of the project lies in the fact that the students are not just recipients of the various issues, situations, problems of the school but they themselves act and set their group identity and conscience for a better, innovative, sustainable school.The essence of the program was the involvement of students in sustainable development, through their student life. Our goal was to create a sustainable school, a social, innovative school in practice, a school open to society, as children dream, and teachers want it. During the program many activities were carried out that fall into all the pillars of sustainability. We evaluated and disseminated the program to the community, gaining benefits for students, teachers, the school, and the local community.

Paper Title :: Research on the Impact of International Trade in Burkina Faso's Economic Growth
Author Name :: Alida Hortense Nadege Yolande Tengwende Yougbare
Country :: China
The development of economic globalization is increasingly affecting the countries of the world, thus promoting the rapid increase in external trade that contributes to the construction and development of the National Economy. Foreign trade is an important element of a national economy, which is an important motive power for national economic growth. This is how the liberalization of external trade, the structural reforms, and the increased effects of macroeconomic stabilization have contributed to an improvement in the economic environment of Burkina Faso and has economic performance. Burkina Faso exports mainly cotton,it is currently the third African cotton producer after Benin and Ivory coast, gold, sesame, and cashew nut. The study establishes an economic model that offers a deeper understanding of the relationship between international exchange and the economic growth of the Burkinabe economy.
We will use the technique of simulation of co-integration and error correction to estimate the various results. Our study will be focused on the period from 2001 to 2020 with key variables GDP as an indicator of economic growth and commercial variables, including the export and import of cotton and gold and exchange rates and inflation rate. All estimation processes consist of five steps: first root unit test, second, co-integration test, third, causality of the Granger, and Fourth Stability Model, Var Stability.
The conclusions of the study indicate that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between cotton export as well as that of Gold on Burkina Economic Growth (GDP). There is also a positive and meaningful relationship between the exchange rate and economic growth. By lesson, we note that imports and the rate of inflation have a negative impact on the country's economic growth. In addition, it has been observed that cotton and gold have a long-term effect on global imports of GDP, unlike the exchange rate and inflation. It can be concluded that the export of commodities stimulates the country's overall economic growth. It is recommended to take steps to reduce imports to verify inflation and higher exchange rates. In addition, the government should adopt measures to improve local productions reducing deficits and therefore encouraging exporting other products.

Paper Title :: Heart Rate reacts to the Perception of Musical Pulse: A Comparison of High and Low Sensation Seekers
Author Name :: Christian Mikutta || Anina Deborah Tereh || Simon Schwab || Werner K. Strik || Andreas Altorfer
Country :: Switzerland
The search for new thrilling experiences is summarized in the concept of "Sensation Seeking", which connects a baseline in arousal with stimulus-dependent changes. The arousing situation is a necessary prerequisite for the physiological reactivity. In connection with music, it is assumed that variations in the rhythmical performance provoke different forms of arousal in "high sensation seekers" (HSS) compared to "low sensation seekers" (LSS). To test this hypothesis, 40 subjects were screened for their level of sensation seeking and grouped into "high", "low", and "Median" sensations seekers. Two versions of Beethoven"s "Elise" were presented (one synthesized in absolute regular pulse, the other one with rhythmical variations). Electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded and analyzed (heart rate [HR]). Connections between rhythmical variations and cardiovascular variables were evaluated using ANOVAs, Pearson correlations, and wavelet-based Semblance analysis. Using the highly sensitive semblance analysis, it can be shown, that low sensation seekers present stimulus-dependent correlations between rhythmic structure and HR changes (r= .5 - .9), whereas high sensation seekers displayed no differences in HR reaction. The correlation between rhythmic changes in the music and HR point out the relevance of the music time domain for eliciting emotions.

Paper Title :: Effect of Chinese Investment in Djibouti Economic Development for current situation and future Outlook
Author Name :: Hodan Ali Elmi
Abstract In over the last decades, China has become a key player in global investment, particularly in African nations. Since 2016, China has been Africa's primary source of investment (Wu and Bai, 2017).. A part of the literature on Chinese investments in infrastructure in Africa argues that these investments are averse to the environment, local employment, and the dissemination of technology. This thesis contributes to this debate by exploring the question: what are some of the effects of Chinese infrastructure investments in Africa in terms of the environment and use of local natural resources, local hiring, and technology transfers? The analysis of the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway in Ethiopia, Djibouti studies shows that, to this date, these projects (1) do not seem to have had negative effects on the environment, and, in fact, have the potential to make a positive environmental impact by reducing land use and air pollution, (2) do not appear to have exploited local natural resources, (3) employed African workers during their construction, operations, and maintenance, and (4) fostered technology transfers by training local workers and planning to hand back operations to locals. Based on this analysis, this thesis argues for the importance of case-by-case evaluations and a more nuanced understanding of Chinese infrastructure investments in Africa. The Chinese approach was been to downplay political issues (e.g., human rights). Although recipient Djibouti has received investment inflows, they have come with certain drawbacks.

Paper Title :: Fuzzy PI Based Motor Speed Control using DSP TMS320F2812
Author Name :: Doris Chasokela
Alternating Current (AC) induction machine plays an important role in the entire industry and daily life. This is due to their robustness, inexpensive and easy to maintain in a period of time. Vector control is used in large numbers in the speed control of AC induction machine. High dynamic performance high speed precision and wide constant torque range capabilities are the key benefits of vector control. Stability of the system during transient process and a wide range of operation are assured through the application of vector control.
The purpose of this thesis is to study the vector control of AC induction machine based on the principles of the AC speed control system, vector control and fuzzy Proportional integral (PI) control, and implementing the digital vector control systems based on the digital signal processor (Digital Signal Processor - DSP TMS320F2812) from Texas Instruments. The mathematical modeling of the AC induction motor and the principles of vector control and fuzzy systems are overviewed first. Fuzzy PI regulator is then proposed to carry out the regulation of the motor speed. The fuzzy PI is an intelligent technique that has evolved in the last decades and it emulates the human way of thinking. Therefore the fuzzy PI does not need the exact mathematical model. In-depth study of fuzzy PI and the normal PI was carried out. Matlab/Simulink software is used to simulate the vector control of the AC induction motor with both fuzzy PI regulator and normal PI regulator for comparative purposes. Simulation results showed that fuzzy PI has a better performance in terms of stability, faster response and robustness, and the fluctuation ripples are also smaller. Experiments had been done on the laboratory platform of AC drive system with the help of AC speed control monitor program designed in Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) under variable operating conditions. The experimental waveforms were captured using the LabVIEW monitoring software. In order to carry out real time implementation, Code Composer Studio and SEEDXDS510plus Emulator are adopted to programming and testing with the DSP TMS320F2812. Experiments results show that the fuzzy PI regulator performs better than normal PI regulator, as fuzzy PI regulator indicates better waveforms of torque and speed responses during acceleration and deceleration, especially when the motor is operating on lower speeds.

Paper Title :: 'Ala Turka' National and Ethnic Music and dance representations in YouTube
Author Name :: Christos Papakostas
The new technologies have changed dramatically human society, culture and communication. New phenomena appear and the new reality is a challenge on many levels. The mass expansion of the Internet, since the early 1990s, has brought new circumstances at the economic, social, and cultural level, as well as new forms of behaviour and expression. Primary aim of the present research is to contribute to the study of the central subject of the present volume, namely the relation between folk cultures in Greece and Turkey. The choice is not accidental. The national discourses on both sides and the representations of folk culture in the two neighbouring countries appear to be rather fluid and contradictory. Sometimes they project a sense of cultural affinity and proximity, while other times they are developed around a rigid and highly confrontational rhetoric. Certainly, however, this picture depends on the coincidence of cultural and historical circumstances each time. Reasonably, this deliberation raises further questions concerning the role of technology in shaping new forms of communication between ethnic and national discourses, individual and collective convictions about the familiar and the neighboring folk culture. For this reason, we examine the new phenomenon that appears through the transmission, broadcasting, commentary, and production on YouTube of amateur videos whose basic subject is folk performing arts (music and dance). And furthermore, through the complex procedures identified in the framework of YouTube: a. what are the new dimensions taken on by Greek and Turkish music and dance? b. and, in a more general framework.

Paper Title :: Environmental Education. Social representations of teachers
Author Name :: Rochin Berumen Fabiola Lydie || Correa Aguado Paola Isaira || Madera Cosio Marisol
The purpose of this research is to know the social representations about environmental education that teachers of the primary "Gral. Enrique Estrada" located in the capital of the state of Zacatecas have; it is about understanding the way in which teachers give meaning and meaning to environmental education and with this analyze the ways in which these representations are applied in the educational field. It starts from the question: what are the social representations of environmental education that the teachers of the primary "Gral. Enrique Estrada" have? It is intended to respond from the application of a qualitative methodology with an interpretative approach, using participant observation and interviews to answer the questions. All this based on the theoretical foundation of Serge Moscovici with his theory of social representations; the contributions of Marcos Reigota and the linking of social representations and environmental education; and María Novo with her contributions to environmental education.

As marijuana companies across Canada brace for the historic rollout of the country's recreational program next week, some businesses have their sights set on bigger opportunities they see coming in the United States.
Canadian cannabis investment firms and holding companies are making multimillion-dollar bids on a range of U.S.-based cultivators, manufacturers and retailers already.
Relatively low valuations of U.S. cannabis companies – versus their Canadian counterparts – is helping fuel the interest.
Canadian cannabis companies also are striking deals on the expectation that federal legalization ultimately will come to the United States and boost the price tags of acquisition targets.
1. Cross-border acquisitions are heating up.
During the first three quarters of the year, at least 40 U.S. cannabis firms have been acquired by Canadian companies, more than double the 17 deals inked during the same period in 2017, according to data from New York-based Viridian Capital Advisors.
British Columbia-based Tidal Royalty announced plans to acquire Florida-based Alternative Medical Enterprises for $8 million. The firm is also making a $12.5 million investment in Oregon-based cannabis cultivator Diem Cannabis.
Toronto-based Captor Capital acquired Chai Cannabis, a medical and recreational cannabis store in Santa Cruz, California, for roughly $6 million. The acquisition adds a fourth California retail shop to Captor's investment portfolio, which includes two MedMen-branded dispensaries, according to a news release.
HollyWeed North Cannabis, a Canadian consulting firm that also has multiple marijuana brands, signed a letter of intent to acquire U.S.-based Women Grow.
The investments have landed despite reports of increased concerns among Canadian cannabis investors of running into issues crossing the U.S. border.
Admissibility to the United States may be denied merely because someone is "working or having involvement in the legal marijuana industry in U.S. states where it is deemed legal or in Canada" as cannabis remains federally prohibited, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials have told Marijuana Business Daily.
However, the "relatively steady increase of (merger and acquisition) activity does not seem to indicate any significant market worry about immigration bans at the border," said Harrison Phillips, vice president at Viridian.
The boost in activity is being fueled by firms eager to tap the U.S. cannabis market ahead of what industry insiders expect will be a run-up in valuations and acquisition costs in the coming years.
"A lot of the conditions that we found attractive in Canada in 2013 and 2014 – meaning explosive growth and valuations that are still affordable – those conditions are very much repeatable in the U.S. cannabis industry now," said Paul Rosen, CEO at Tidal Royalty.
The British Columbia-based company has raised more than $40 million as it pursues U.S.-based investments in cannabis cultivation, manufacturing and retail operations.
Rosen also is the co-founder and former CEO of the Cronos Group, one of Canada's most well-known marijuana companies, valued at more than $1 billion and one of the few plant-touching companies to trade on the Nasdaq.
"We are turning away all other opportunities right now, because in our view – based on what we've done in Canada – the time to invest in the U.S. is now," he said.
Tidal Royalty provides financing for cannabis operators via royalty agreements, through which Tidal gets a percentage of a company's revenue for its investment.
"We've taken a (financing) product that exploded in the mining industry, and we're solving a problem for U.S. cannabis firms – which is a shortage or lack of access to capital," Rosen said.
Leaders at Ottawa-based CannaRoyalty share Tidal's bullish take on the U.S. cannabis market. Like Tidal, the firm offers royalty financing deals, but it also pursues licensing, equity and secured debt deals.
In April, the firm signed a multimillion-dollar deal to acquire FloraCal Farms, a move that expands the company's California footprint.
That deal followed CannaRoyalty's acquisitions in March of three California businesses: RVR, a large-scale medical and recreational marijuana distributor; Alta Supply, a small MMJ distributor; and Kaya Management, an edibles and vaporizer maker.
CannaRoyalty is among a growing number of larger, publicly traded Canadian firms that are increasing their stakes in the California market, where there are no residency requirements for ownership of cannabis businesses.
"The moment that federal legality shifts in the states, institutional investors will begin rushing to get into cannabis, which will drive up competition and acquisition costs for every deal," said Afzal Hasan, CannaRoyalty president.
3. Will Canada's biggest players miss out?
Canadian companies like CannaRoyalty and Tidal have another momentary advantage: Both trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange, which, unlike the larger Toronto Stock Exchange, allows public companies to do business in the cannabis industry in the United States.
Late last year, the TMX Group – parent of the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) – said companies with direct business ties in American marijuana companies could be delisted from its platforms.
That risk led a growing number of Canadian cannabis firms that trade on the TSX and TSXV to sell off or spin off their U.S.-based assets.
Canadian marijuana producer Invictus announced in August that it is spinning off wholly owned subsidiary Poda Technologies into a stand-alone entity that can conduct business in the U.S. because the company will not be listed on the TSXV.
For those firms not listed on the TSX, "there's an opportunity to invest in the U.S. now," said Andrew Kessner, an analyst with New York-based investment advising firm William O'Neil.

Le Herzogenhorn () est un sommet du massif de la Forêt-Noire. C'est le troisième sommet de ce massif après le Feldberg () et le Seebuck ().

Ce troisième sommet de la Forêt-Noire est situé sur le ban communal de Bernau, au sud-sud-est du sommet dénudé du Feldberg et de son vaste domaine skiable. Il est plus exactement localisé au sud du col routier du Feldberg (altitude ) et de la Grafenmatt (altitude ). Le village champêtre de Bernau, lui, est situé au sud-est du Herzogenhorn.

L'accès pédestre s'effectue au mieux, depuis le nord, via le col routier du Feldberg et la petite route forestière du Herzogenhorn dont l'accès motorisé est impossible en hiver. Une petite aire de parcage pour le véhicule est disponible, environ 50 mètres avant le centre sportif montagnard de la Herzogenhorn. De là, le reste se fera uniquement à pied, en plein cœur d'une zone naturelle classée et protégée. Du parking forestier jusqu'au sommet du Herzogenhorn, il faut compter 30 minutes et 1,7 km de marche agréable, au milieu d'une chaume sommitale dénudée.

Le sommet du Herzogenhorn est entièrement dénudé, sans végétation (il s'agit en fait d'un ballon). Son climat est très rude : très froid et neigeux en hiver, lourd et orageux en été. En automne, il s'y produit souvent un phénomène d'inversion thermique : la plaine rhénane et les vallées sont alors noyées sous une épaisse chape de nuages bas et de brouillards, alors que les plus hauts sommets, eux, baignent dans un ciel bleu azur, avec en toile de fond, les crêtes enneigées des Alpes bernoises et autrichiennes. L'automne et l'hiver sont les meilleures saisons pour contempler les Alpes en direction du sud et du sud-est. La présence de chamois est certifiée au sommet de la Herzogenhorn.

Dans la culture
Le 26 septembre 2020, l'acteur français François Cluzet gravit le mont Herzogenhorn afin de promouvoir la défense des langues franconiennes en Allemagne.

Those of us who are in support of gay rights support gay marriage, and see gay divorce as no different, a legal right.
How are those who oppose gay marriage feel about gay divorce, since it leads to less gay marriages? Do they support the gay peoples rights to gay divorce?

in gods eyes divorce is wrong, in gods eyes gay marriage is wrong, but divorce is wrong, homosexuality is wrong, divorce is wrong. oh no i tried to think like one of them and went crosseyed
same as straight folks.
this is pretty obvious.

If they have the same rights to marry then i don't see why they cannot divorce if its not working out.
I know 2 men who got married then divorced. Both have since remarried incidentally!
toosh says:
all should have the same rights, be it to marry or divorce
lingua06437 says:
This topic made the news in Texas few months ago. A legally married couple from one State moved to Texas and later filed for divorce. Many in Texas tried to prevent this from happening since Texas doesn't recognize same sex marriage. In the end the couple took it to court and they won. Texas now has to grant the divorce.
Many States won't grant same sex divorces. You have to move back to the State of origin and get a divorce there.
This is why DOMA should be repealed – so that we can have legal same sex marriage – and divorce – all over the US with no issues!
lg51 says:
I believe in Same-Sex Divorce, here's why, heterosexual couples may. As much as people don't want see same sex marriage couples married, why won't they grant divorce.
What America would like to do is make same sex marriages look bad, because with the growing number of granted same sex marriages, there are alot of couples that are ready to divorce at the same time, what is going to happen is a major fluctuation of unhappily married same sex couples asking states for divorce, what America will say is, see "homosexuals don't deserve to be married, because we gave you the chance and now you want to be divorced". It's sad too, because everyone should have the right to their own choices.
What if you're married to someone of the same sex who is abusive, or who now feels like they would like to be with someone of the opposite sex. etc there are tons of scenarios, although some states will NOT grant divorce, they will grant annulments, But an annulment is completely different from divorce, depending upon the length of the marriage an annulment can be granted in states where same sex marriage is not recognized. But from a legal standpoint it erases the marriage all together as if it never existed…which can be alot of trouble for established families, taxes, homes, credit etc.
Semmelweis25 says:
To be expected
Gay unions, partnership, etc, etc, etc, usually are unstable and tend to divorce
Peter Smith says:
Without "gay" there would not be the concept of "straight". Without "same sex" there would not be the phrase "opposite sex". Without "divorce" (or the understanding of instable marriages or otherwise abandoned marriages) there would not be the idea of the "stable marriage". Without "female" there would not be "male".
It's not that these things wouldn't "exist", potentially. It is just that we rely on the binary opposition in order to comprehend both one and the other, we rely on the existence of one to fully allow the potential of the other. Yet one is not better than the other either (how can they be; they are mutually reliant concepts). One cannot "defeat" the other (in so doing it too would be conceptually destroyed and redundant).
Therefore, those who argue that gay divorces are a threat to straight marriages are entirely wrong. The concept of gayness, and the concept of divorce, are necessary to even understand the phrase "straight marriage".
marriage is marriage.
divorce is divorce.
what was the question?
i live in canada where marriage is between two consenting adults. we don't all live in theocratic hellholes like iran and the u.s.a.
Nikki Dubs says:
Gay divorce doesn't lead to less gay marriages….it leads to more gay divorces. You make no sense.


The actual youngest bad on TV EsDee and youngest signed artist to Big Boyz Ent. has finally dropped the viral video to his single 'Young, Free & Single' featuring the other two bad guys on TV, 2Kriss.
The official video will be out soon, hopefully sooner than later!
After performing this hit single at the 'Wizkid Starboy Concert' in June in London, this song has been on everybody's lips - including mine, yes yes!
EsDee has clearly got a lot more to offer to the UK Afrobeats scene, and this is not the last we'll hear from him. Check out the Young, Free & Single summer anthem below.

The Patrol Division is presently made up of 26 officers and supervised by Division Commander Lieutenant Rick Hazewinkel.
There are four shifts led by a Sergeant. Each Sergeant strives to ensure proper patrol coverage by assigning their officers to specified districts within the Town of Lexington.
Uniformed Patrol Officers
Public safety starts with providing order through the presence of uniformed police officers. Therefore the most visible function of the Lexington Police Department is the uniformed patrol officer. The role of these officers are varied to include detecting and deterring crime; responding to calls for service; and interacting with the community in a manner consistent with our community policing perspective.
Due to the visibility of the patrol officers, public perception of the Lexington Police Department as a whole rests largely with these officers. The dramatic growth in Town of Lexington has impacted the Patrol Division in many ways and we are constantly trying to adapt in order that these officers continue to respond in a timely and effective manner.

I hope you'll find some inspiration as well – either to do a little face mask and watch your favourite movie and relax, go and grab a cup of tea or coffee with your best friend, or go for a walk or to the movies with your family or your loved one. See this as an inspiration to sneak in some more moments in your everyday life that makes you happy – because that truly is what life is made of; the small little everyday things, so cherish these moments!
Our hallway in our apartment complex has been completely repainted and it has become so bright and pretty, I absolutely love it!
There's nothing better when the sun is shinning than a little walk around the lake and seeing the beautiful nature – and preferably with a good podcast in my ears!
I've always loved my family, but I think over the past years I've neglected my lovely big family a bit too much due to lots of work and school – but, I truly love my big family, and I love all the different personalities which I am so truly blessed to have in my life – and I really want to spend more time with them all <3 Here is a picture from last week where almost all the women from my mom's side of the family had a Cinema trip. We watched 'The Book Club' (hilarious movie, and so sweet and loving!) and had dinner afterwards – such a great time!

Enservio customers have been asking: so what is the appropriate response to contents coverage pertaining to cannabis loss? Cannabis plants are valuable, and theft is not uncommon.
To follow ISO standards, the loss of a cannabis plant would typically amount to a $500 settlement. That's what ISO standards cover for loss of "plants, trees and shrubs." But these are not normal plants, and a lawsuit could certainly ensue. Insurers nationwide ought to be prepared to address these issues.

How it works About us Blog Resources Learning Center Reference Center FAQ
How does human activity affect the planet?
Everything we eat, wear, and use comes from natural resources that were grown or extracted. Some of these natural resources are renewable, which means that they either recur naturally, can be regenerated, or cannot be used up. natural resources include water, wind, sunlight, and vegetation. But other resources are non-renewable, like fossil fuels used to fuel cars and generate electricity.
When humans are careless about growing and extracting natural resources, it becomes difficult to access them, and the lack of access to life-sustaining resources can threaten our health. Over time, the inability to access natural resources causes us to suffer from economic difficulties. For example, if farmers can't grow crops because their lands were damaged from bad farming practices, those farmers won't be able to earn a living. This can lead to trouble when people become scared and desperate.
Some of the ways we damage our ability to access natural resources include:
Overfishing: When we remove so many fish that the population can't regenerate.
Aggressive mining: When mining practices cause negative, widespread change to an ecosystem, leading to erosion, water contamination, and soil contamination.
Overconsumption: Overconsuming goods leads to waste that overwhelms landfills and spreads non-biodegradable garbage into our waterways.
But before we dive further into the different ways our activities are currently impacting the Earth, let's take a look at one example of how our actions impacted our ability to access natural resources, and triggered the greatest environmental crisis in American history.
The Dust Bowl
What do you think about when you think about the 1930s? Probably black and white movies, gangsters like Bonnie and Clyde, and old-fashioned swing band music. However, the defining event of the period between 1929 and 1939 is what is known as The Great Depression.
You've probably heard about The Great Depression in school. Millions of people were out of work and unsure how they would get their next meal. Tens of thousands of people started building shacks made of tin and cardboard in large public parks and other vacant lots because they couldn't afford to stay in their homes. While the reasons for the extreme economic downturn were complex, one of the major contributing factors was what is commonly known as The Dust Bowl, and it was a direct result of how human activity affected — and destroyed — the environment.
How Human Interactions with the Environment Caused the Greatest Economic and Ecological Disaster in U.S. History
One of the most extraordinary natural disasters of the previous century was an entirely man-made event. The Dust Bowl of the mid-20th century was the outcome of decades of terrible agricultural practices. Farmers would move to regions in the Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and other states in the Midwest and begin to clear the grasses so that they could plant wheat crops. They did this without recognizing the environmental necessity of deep-rooted prairie grasses, and the result was catastrophic.
The ecosystem of the Great Plains is unique — it experiences years of consistent annual rainfall, but also long drought periods that don't fit a particular cycle. This is why the grasses in the region have evolved to be extremely deep-rooted — they can hang on to moisture deep in the soil during long dry periods and keep the soil anchored. The act of plowing the natural grasslands of the Great Plains region of the United States removed the protective grasses, exposing the topsoil, leading to environmental calamity.
The Dirty Thirties
The topsoil dried out severely, and dry winds carried incalculable quantities of dust in the air to regions sometimes thousands of miles away. The dust storms were so thick that they blocked the sun, turning day into night. The dust piled up in people's houses and buried their cars. Livestock in the farming areas were suffocated and killed, their stomachs, mouths, and throats filled with dirt. The dust entered people's lungs and caused deadly illnesses and respiratory infections. The dust storms were so thick, oppressive, fast, and common that farm families living in the Great Plains regions often had to tie ropes from their barns to their front doors to find their way back home if a dust storm suddenly hit while they were outside. These "black blizzards" sometimes reached as far as New York City, and the dust even found its way to some ships at sea in the Atlantic. By 1933, black blizzards were occurring at a rate of nearly once per week.
Environmental Refugees
An estimated half-million people were forced out of their homes in the Dust Bowl region and fled to different regions in the U.S., largely the West. These migrants to larger cities were often derisively called "Okies," and faced tremendous economic and social struggles. Residents and political officials viewed the displaced migrants as uneducated, diseased parasites who would drain public resources and steal jobs from locals. The camps of impoverished refugees dotted the California landscape, and sheriffs and police forces attempted to stop them from entering the state at the California border. Fruit growers in California set up cheap, squalid shanties for the desperate migrant workers, and these shanties bred disease, which spread throughout the camps. Local officials blamed the migrants, not the landowners. In 1933, California passed the Indigent Act, which was used to legally prevent poor people from entering the state.
Though the drought in the Great Plains that launched the Dust Bowl officially ended in 1939, the environmental scars still linger, and droughts continue to affect the region with varying degrees of severity. While the Dust Bowl is the most sudden and remarkable example of how human activity affected the Earth, there are nonetheless countless ways our actions fundamentally change the planet.
How Human Activity Affects the Earth
Throughout the course of human evolution, human actions have always affected the planet. Our ancestors' search for tools, food, shelter, and the desire to control the environment have shaped every ecosystem in which humans have lived. Land modifications for agricultural purposes and the development of housing and commercial structures have changed landscapes in dramatic fashions — from rerouting rivers, to clearing forests, to using explosives to tunnel through mountains. Even activities that don't directly change the landscape have altered the environment in significant ways, as the proliferation of automobiles and commercial transportation has led to the reduction of air quality in densely populated regions throughout the world.
Human manipulation of the planet and its resources has led to the virtual disappearance of untouched natural lands — many scientists believe that there aren't any places left on the planet that haven't been either occupied by or affected by humans. The spread of human civilization and technological innovations have caused several irrefutable environmental consequences.
The Human Population Explosion
Overpopulation has been a sociological and environmental concern for centuries. In the late 18th century, an English scholar and economist named Thomas Malthus wrote that human overpopulation could lead to the exhaustion of necessary resources and an insubstantial food supply. In the mid-20th century, a book called "The Population Bomb" by biologist and Stanford University professor Paul R. Ehrlich was published, sounding alarm bells about the planet's ability to support an exploding human population.
Our desire to accommodate massive growth in the human population has been at the core of numerous environmental issues in the previous and current centuries. Our agricultural and distribution innovations have been a double-edged sword. Firstly, humans are producing higher volumes of food than the planet could naturally support. Sufficient and economically accessible food production relies upon the aid of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers and technologies that ensure a continual water supply, as well as cheap labor. Secondly, the abundance of food allows for even greater population growth and longer lifespans, necessitating the increasing production of the essential resources — housing, clothing, medical supplies and services, and consumer goods — providing additional environmental strain and causing tremendous amounts of waste.
Agricultural advancements have been remarkable. Innovation and ingenuity created a system that allows humans greater control over their access to resources. Early in human history, the discovery of agricultural techniques led to humans settling in the same regions for the long term rather than continually moving as hunting and gathering opportunities diminished. The transplantation of native species of plants to new ecosystems caused environmental changes, creating new food webs and damaging previous ones.
Livestock also caused massive environmental changes. Grazing animals like sheep and cattle change the landscape significantly by consuming native grasses and foliage, and farmers' need to protect livestock from predators like coyotes and wolves led to their being hunted to near extinction in some regions, leading to major ecological imbalances.
The abundance of cattle throughout the U.S. is also associated with elevated amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas.
While industrial-level agricultural practices throughout the previous century have contributed to numerous environmental crises, the technologies and campaigns developed to counter the damaging ecological effects have increased awareness of the dangers of continued large-scale industrial farming, causing greater interest in supporting sustainable agriculture and smaller, local farmers.
Widespread Pollution
Air pollution can be caused by numerous natural factors. Volcanoes erupt and release gases and ash into the atmosphere that can linger for months or years. Gasses from volcanic eruptions, like sulfur dioxide, can be fatal to human and animal populations. Volcanoes don't even have to erupt to create environmental toxins — gases can discharge from inactive volcanoes and poison the animals and humans in the region. In 1984, a volcano in Lake Monoun in Cameroon experienced a limnic eruption, an event that saturated the lake with carbon dioxide, which was then released into the atmosphere and killed nearly 40 people. Two years later, a nearby volcano in Lake Nyos had its own limnic eruption, killing 1,700 people. In May of 2021, Mount Nyiragongo in the Congo erupted and spewed lava to the nearby town. Because the volcano is close to a lake — Lake Kivu — it is possible that a limnic eruption could occur.
But natural disasters aren't the primary cause of pollution. One of the most significant and enduring effects of human behavior on the planet is the pollution generated by our activities. Emissions from automobiles, manufacturing processes, and agricultural practices interfere with the health of plants, animals, and humans. Poor air quality triggers public health issues that cause entire communities to develop physical symptoms.
Sometimes, the toxins released by human industrial activities cause significant harm within a very short period of time. The deadliest case of industrial air pollution occurred in 1984 in Bhopal, India, when a pesticide plant accidentally released methyl isocyanate gas into the atmosphere, which poisoned the nearby town and killed thousands of residents within only a few days. More than a half-million people were injured.
While most emissions released by factories and other industrial interests don't achieve such catastrophic outcomes so quickly, the slow release of toxins into the environment can have damaging effects on the environment and human population over time. Populations continually exposed to poor air quality are more likely to suffer from respiratory illnesses like asthma, heart disease, and cancer.
Pollution doesn't only affect the air — water pollution is a widespread problem affecting oceans and waterways throughout the world.
Like air pollution, water pollution can occur due to natural events. Petroleum seeps are natural phenomena where stores of oil and hydrocarbons in the Earth spill out and pollute lakes and oceans, leaving so much tar that it occasionally washes up on shores. However, like air pollution, water pollution is overwhelmingly due to human activity.
Some of the biggest water polluters are power plants. Power plants that burn coal to generate electricity also generate tons of toxic ash that are dumped into waterways. This pollution contaminates aquatic habitats and poisons drinking water for humans in nearby communities.
The Removal of Forest Cover
Deforestation is one of the most damaging effects of human activity. Global forests are essential to life on Earth — they filter the air and water and capture the tons of carbon emissions we emit into the atmosphere, mitigating much of the environmental damage human activities cause. However, forests are under continual threat from human activity, and the planet loses approximately 250 million acres of forest every year to deforestation through wildfires, drought, and intentional land clearance, down from the high of 500 million acres between 2011 and 2015. Less than half of the forest lands removed every year are being replaced.
Forests are extremely vulnerable to human activity because they both provide resources we need desperately, and stand in the way of our population growth. In addition to food and water, humans need shelter and housing. This need to build structures has required land clearing on a massive scale, not only to provide space for development, but also to source the materials for building the structures.
Reforestation efforts are critical to preserving the health of the planet. While human activity has been the cause of nearly all of the most calamitous environmental damage, humans also have the capability to take corrective action. Though humans have strained our planet's ecosystems tremendously, by working to restore our natural forest covers and other green spaces we can start to incrementally rebuild the health of the planet, making it better able to support future generations of people.
Our natural spaces are our greatest resource, and when we neglect to preserve them — like when we destroyed the grasslands on the Great Plains — we can suffer devastating consequences that last for generations.

What Does Vacuum Tube Mean?
Techopedia Explains Vacuum Tube
A vacuum tube is a device used to control the flow of electric current using a vacuum in a sealed container, which usually takes the form of a glass tube, hence the name. The vacuum tube is the predecessor of the modern transistor and was used in similar ways as electronically controlled switches, rectifiers, amplifiers, oscillators and in other creative ways that transistors may be used today. The cathode ray tube (CRT) used extensively in early television sets and computer monitors as screens is a kind of vacuum tube.
The vacuum tube was invented by English physicist John Ambrose Fleming in 1904 as a basic component for electronic devices and used throughout the first half of the twentieth century. It brought about great innovations in television, radio, radar, sound recording and reproduction, telephone networks, industrial automation and, most importantly, the development of analog and digital computers. It was essentially the predecessor of the modern transistor, which brought about a revolution in technology and paved the way for the development of the personal computer.
The vacuum tube was composed of a cathode that produces electrons and an anode that collects the electrons, at least the very basic ones called a diode; however, other types of vacuum tubes existed that were classified according to the number of electrodes present. These electrodes are then enclosed in a casing, usually glass, with all the air removed since air can act as a conductor when energized enough, becoming a pathway for electrons in the same way that lightning travels through the air. So, because of the shape of the vacuum, it became commonly known as the vacuum tube.
Because the vacuum tube needed a heating filament to produce electrons, it usually required massive amounts of power and thus produced a lot of heat, leading to the quick degradation of the components, so it burned out rather quickly. It also required three different power sources of varying capacities and ratings in order to work. But as vacuum tube technology progressed, the size and power consumption also became smaller, up to the point where the tubes were as small as large Christmas lights.
Vacuum tubes, however, are not completely obsolete as they are still being used in big radio stations and high-power UHF TV stations, especially those utilizing power levels above 10,000 W and frequencies above 50 MHz. The reason is cost-efficiency since transistors are really just good for low frequencies; at high frequencies, a hundred transistors in parallel and wired together in a cascade will be needed, which creates massive heat, so heat sinks are required. An equivalent transmitter will only use a single tube, which requires considerably less power and can be cooled with forced air or water cooling. Vacuum tubes are also very popular in sound amplifiers because solid-state amplifiers cannot replicate the peculiar distortion and speaker damping effect of vacuum tubes.

James Samuel Baumgart, 33, fronted Maryborough Magistrates Court. Facebook
Order to collect DNA evidence in murder case
Carlie Walker
1st Dec 2020 6:30 PM
AN ORDER to collect DNA from a man accused of murder has been made in Maryborough Magistrates Court.
James Samuel Baumgart, 36, from Island Plantation in Maryborough, was charged with murder, assault occasioning bodily harm and wilful damage following the death of a man at Gympie.
Magistrate Kurt Fowler made an order for a forensic procedure to be carried out.
It was not opposed by Mr Baumgart.
The court heard the defence was waiting for a brief of evidence to come through.
The matter was adjourned until February 23 for committal mention.
Police allege four men, including Mr Baumgart, were involved in a fight at a home in John St, Maryborough around 5pm Sunday, November 1.
They further allege that after the incident, two of the men fled the scene in a white ute after sustaining injuries, while Mr Baumgart was taken to Hervey Bay Hospital with a stab wound to his abdomen.
The white ute the two men allegedly used to flee the scene was found abandoned by police about 10pm Sunday after it crashed into a fence at a property on Burns Rd, Gympie.
At 6am on November 2, police took a 45-year-old linked to the vehicle into custody to assist with their inquiries.
At 10am the same day, a 43-year-old man was found dead down an embankment at the Gympie property.
Mr Baumgart's brother Daniel has also been charged with murder in relation to the incident.
