Think plants can't move? You're only half right. Plants move through the dispersal of their seeds by water, wind, gravity, ballistics, or animals. Dispersal allows plant offspring to colonize areas with less competition and more resources. Without dispersal, plant offspring are less likely to survive, making it crucial for plants to reproduce and to sustain forest diversity.
In addition to its role in maintaining healthy forests, seed dispersal is needed for forest restoration. Current global forest restoration goals are ambitious. The Bonn Challenge, an agreement signed by 61 countries, aims to restore forests on 1.3 million square miles, or 2% of Earth's surface, by 2030.
Some of this reforestation will involve directly planting trees, or active restoration. Given the scope of global restoration goals, however, this approach is too time-consuming and costly. Instead, passive restoration, where natural ecological processes drive forest regeneration, will be critical for large-scale forest restoration. Thus, understanding how seed dispersal works and identifying threats to this mechanism are needed to preserve this critical ecosystem process for forest regrowth.
What Is Seed Dispersal?
Seed dispersal is a key stage in plant reproduction. During dispersal, plant offspring are moved away from the parent plant. This relocation increases the chances of offspring survival by reducing competition with parents and siblings and by helping seeds escape natural enemies like pathogens and insects.
Dispersal also facilitates natural succession to occur. When a gap is created in the forest following tree death, seed dispersal allows a new tree to fill in that space.
To facilitate seed dispersal, plants have evolved diverse structures that promote movement by biotic or abiotic forces.
Seed Dispersal Methods
The many forms of seed dispersal are an evolutionary marvel. Plants produce seeds specially adapted for dispersal by one of five forces: wind, water, gravity, ballistics, or animals.

Wind dispersed seeds have special adaptations like hairs, wings, or inflated structures that help them be carried by a breeze more easily. Dandelions, for example, have white bristles that create drag and cause them to float on updrafts of wind.
Many wind-dispersed species make small and lightweight seeds. Orchids, one of the largest plant families, produce "dust seeds," which are the smallest seeds among flowering plants.
Generally, wind dispersed seeds only travel short distances. Rare extreme weather events, however, can transport wind-dispersed seeds farther. These long-distance dispersal events are uncommon, but can have major ecological consequences, like allowing a species to colonize a novel environment.

Water seed dispersal has evolved in many species that live beside or partially in water. These species have fruit and seed adaptations, including fruits that can float and hard, durable seed coats that allow them to be carried by rivers or ocean currents. One well-known example is the fruits of the coconut palm, which can be at sea for up to 110 days and still germinate.
Water dispersed seeds can contribute to the restoration of riparian forests—areas next to rivers and streams. However, researchers note that it is important to maintain connectivity between waterways to allow for continued dispersal.
Paradoxically, water can even play an important role in the dispersal of some desert plants. When a rare, heavy rain occurs, seeds are transported by water where they then have the opportunity to quickly germinate when conditions are good.

Gravity dispersal is often the first step of a multistep dispersal process, where the second disperser is an animal. In gravity dispersed species, fruits become heavier as they ripen and as the seeds mature. Once fully ripe, the fruits and their enclosed seeds fall to the ground. There, ground-dwelling animals can consume ripe fruits, then pass the seeds through their guts.
Seeds dispersed by gravity generally do not have any structural adaptations for dispersal. For instance, fruiting trees, like domestic apple trees, rely on gravity seed dispersal. The seeds are encased in fruits that grow as the seeds mature and fall to the ground when they are ready for dispersal.

Ballistic seed dispersal occurs when seeds are shot like projectiles from the parent plant. Plants have evolved several mechanisms that make this possible. For example, jewelweed seed pods curl inward when they open, which can project seeds over 16 feet away from the parent plant. In the case of Chinese witch-hazel, drying fruits create pressure until the fruit splits and releases the enclosed seed at speeds up to 27.5 mph.
Ballistic dispersal is often found in "weedy" plants—species that grow quickly, but do not live for long. They are able to quickly become established, grow, and reproduce before they are outcompeted by other species.

Animal seed dispersal may be the most complex dispersal strategy because of the extraordinary number of plant-animal relationships involved. Animals may transport seeds internally or externally. While animal seed dispersal can be found in forests around the world, it is especially important in tropical forests where an estimated 70% of tree species rely on animals for dispersal.
In external dispersal, seeds fasten to an animal's body with bristles, hooks, or a glue-like substance. Externally dispersed seeds tend to make excellent invasive species because they can easily attach to humans and become established in new environments.
Animals also disperse seeds internally—plants offer seed dispersers fruit and in return the seed is either spit out by the disperser or defecated after passing through its gut. Gut passage makes some seeds more likely to germinate because the seed coat is weakened in places. The size of fruits affects which animals can disperse them, with bigger animals more able to process bigger fruits. So, when animals like elephants and primates are poached, the dispersal of large-fruited and large-seeded species is at risk.
Animal dispersers range in size from towering savanna elephants to dung beetles and ants. Each type of animal seed disperser plays a unique role in the ecosystem, with differences in how many seeds they consume and how far they move seeds. For example, spider monkeys native to Latin America have diets that are mostly fruit, so they can move lots of large seeds over long distances. Smaller fruit-eating birds may only be able to eat small fruits, but are less dependent on an intact forest for their movement, which may make them better at facilitating forest restoration.
Both fruits and seeds have evolved adaptations that facilitate this plant-animal mutualism. For example, fruits attract animal dispersers with color and odor, offering a nutritious incentive to disperse the enclosed seeds. Some seeds require some damage to their seed coats to germinate, so passing through an animal's gut actually makes them more viable.
Why Is Seed Dispersal Important?
Seed dispersal is a necessary component of healthy forests. When plants do not have dispersers and fall under their parent trees, they are much less likely to survive. Researchers believe this increased mortality is caused by species-specific pathogens that are most effective when seeds of the same species are close together. Undispersed seeds also face more competition from the parent plant and their sibling for critical resources including sunlight, water, and space.
Many experiments that examine the importance of seed dispersal focus on species spread by animals. Without it, animal dispersed species become less abundant and some trees are more likely to go extinct.
Threats to Seed Dispersal and Their Consequences
Human changes to the environment are altering seed dispersal processes and may be jeopardizing the future of this essential ecosystem service. Hunting, logging, habitat loss, and climate change all pose major threats to seed dispersal, especially animal dispersal.
Ecosystems respond differently to changes in seed dispersal, but one of the most troubling trends is a loss of plant diversity in forests. Changes in seed dispersal may also affect the resources available for species that depend on those plants for survival, thus causing ecological cascades throughout an ecosystem.
Because so many tropical species depend on animals for seed dispersal, the negative effects of humans on seed dispersal may be most prominent in tropical forests. A synthesis of 35 studies found that hunting and logging reduced the distances that seeds were moved and also caused a shift toward the dispersal of small seeds.
In most cases, it is too soon to fully understand the long-term effects of human disturbances on seed dispersal. But given what is known about its importance for healthy ecosystems, we likely do not want to wait until that happens to see the consequences.

Herlander Peyroteo (auch Herlânder Peyroteo, * 11. August 1929 in Moçâmedes, Angola; † 18. April 2002 in Lissabon, Portugal) war ein portugiesischer Regisseur und Fernsehproduzent. Er wurde sowohl mit komischen als auch ernsten Produktionen und Dokumentationen bekannt.

Leben
Peyroteo entstammte einer adligen Seitenlinie. In seiner angolanischen Geburtsstadt widmete er sich bereits als Kind dem Amateurtheater. Als Heranwachsender spielte er weiter, auch nach seinem Umzug nach Lissabon, der Hauptstadt der damaligen Kolonialmacht Portugal. Dort besuchte er zeitweise das Nationalkonservatorium (heute ESTC), bevor er an der Kunsthochschule Escola Superior de Belas Artes ein Architekturstudium abschloss. In den frühen 1950er Jahren gründete er parallel das Universitätstheater Teatro Universitário de Lisboa, zusammen mit Fernando Amaro, dem Gründer des Theaters Casa da Comédia, der auf Empfehlung von Almada Negreiro mit Peyroteo zusammenarbeitete.

Nach einem Praktikum bei der BBC in London gehörte Peyroteo zu den Mitbegründern der RTP und damit des Fernsehens in Portugal, deren fester Mitarbeiter er noch vor ihrem regulären Sendestart 1957 wurde. Er wurde danach einer der bekanntesten Fernsehregisseure des Landes. Besonders bekannt wurde er für seine Theaterinszenierungen für die RTP. Er zeichnete für etwa 100 Produktionen verantwortlich, insbesondere die anfangs live übertragene Reihe Noites de Teatro ist zu nennen. Ein besonderer Publikumserfolg wurde 1960 seine Sitcom Lisboa em Camisa (dt.: Lissabon im Hemd). Auch die Kritik lobte Peyroteo, als ein Höhepunkt galt dabei seine Inszenierung von Pedro, o cru (dt.: Pedro, der Rohe) im Jahr 1961. Das Stück von António Patrício führte Peyroteo mit etwa 150 Komparsen auf engem Raum auf. 1961 drehte er mit dem Kurzfilm O Velho e a Moça seinen ersten Kinofilm, jedoch blieb er in erster Linie dem Fernsehen verbunden. 1962 erhielt er den portugiesischen Pressepreis (Prémio da Imprensa) für seine Fernseharbeit. 1967 drehte er seinen bedeutendsten Kinofilm, Um Campista em Apuros (dt.: Ein Camper in Schwierigkeiten), mit Florbela Queirós, Manuel Cavaco und Nicolau Breyner. Ein Höhepunkt seiner Fernseharbeit wurde 1970 die Produktion des Stücks A Castro mit Ruy de Carvalho in der Hauptrolle. Das Drama von António Ferreira (1528–1569) basiert auf der Geschichte der Inês de Castro. Noch 1970 erhielt Peyroteo den Prémio Fernando Frazão-Preis.

Auch nach der portugiesischen Nelkenrevolution 1974 blieb er im Staatsfernsehen. 1977 sollte er Leiter des ersten Kanals der RTP werden, was nach Kompetenzstreitigkeiten innerhalb der RTP-Führung erst 1978 geschah. Im gleichen Jahr brachte er das Stück Os Putos (dt.: Die Bengel) von Altino do Tojal als Mehrteiler auf die Fernsehbühne, von der Kritik als eine der herausragendsten portugiesischen TV-Theaterproduktionen gewertet. Er arbeitete aber auch in anderen Bereichen. So führte er 1981 bei der Übertragung des 18. Musikfestivals Festival da Canção Regie.

1997 drehte Peyroteo einen letzten Fernsehfilm, O Fusível (dt.: Die Sicherung), mit Drehbuch von Filipe La Féria auf Basis eines Peter-Shaffer-Stücks. Danach verließ er die RTP und setzte sich zur Ruhe. 2002 starb er nach langer Krankheit.

The more this goes on, the more it reinforces the powerful vision behind bitcoin: a peer-to-peer, disintermediated system for exchanging value around the world. And in that context, we can also think of bitcoin the cryptocurrency differentiated from bitcoin the system – as a unique, provably scare digital asset that expresses the overall value in that vast potential.
A point that's lost on critics like Novak is that the longer bitcoin simply survives in the face of the $90 billion valuation that stands as a de facto bounty for hackers to try to take it down, compromise its security or corrupt it – the more its overall value is confirmed.


At the turn of the twentieth century, the Fourth of July was a day of heartfelt patriotic revelry. A time when neighborhoods were trimmed to the treetops with streamers and flags, community gatherings ran the gamut from games and impassioned oratory to prizes for the "best beard." It was an era when kids delighted in the POP of fireworks, patriotic poems found legions of appreciative readers, and fruit ices and whirling parasols kept the midsummer heat at bay. It was a glorious time indeed.

The Sims 4: День Спа () — второй игровой набор к компьютерной игре The Sims 4. Выход набора состоялся 14 июля 2015 года на цифровой платформе Origin. Тема набора завязана вокруг возможности посещать спа-салон и заниматься йогой.

Критики назвали «День Спа» назвали небольшим и причудливым дополнением, добавляющим красивый набор минималистской мебели но слишком специфичным. При этом данный игровой набор в итоге стал самым невостребованным среди игроков The Sims 4.

Геймлей
Игровой набор добавляет возможность посещать спа-салон и получать там ряд процедур, таких, как массаж рук, ног, спины. Также сим может принимать разные грязевые ванны и посещать сауну. Помимо этого, набор добавляет навык — здоровый образ жизни, который представляет собой занятие йогой и медитацию, с высоким уровнем навыка сим во время медитации сможет  левитировать и телепортироваться. Такие объекты, как массажные столики, грязевые ванны и сауны, игрок может также размещать у себя на участке. В набор включена коллекция мебели в современном, минималистском стиле ваби саби.

Обновление от 2021 года
В рамках обновления от 7 сентября 2021 года, игровой процесс игрового набора был дополнен. Например был добавлен маникюр и педикюр, позволяя симам красить ногти и придавать им разные формы, маски для лица, йогой можно заниматься отныне детям. Также были добавлены несколько предметов и дополнительные окраски для существующих. Симы могут также обучать других медитации и самоконтролю и становиться дзен гуру или специалистами по самообслуживанию.

Создание и выпуск
Впервые о предстоящем выпуске второго игрового набора стало известно 30 июня 2015 года. При этом ранее проводился опрос, касаемый темы спа-процедур и что игроки хотели бы там видеть. 14 июля 2015 года стал доступен официальный трейлер к набору. Выход набора состоялся 14 июля 2015 года, который доступен для покупке на цифровой Origin

На физических носителях набор вышел в составе коллекции The Sims 4 Коллекция 1 () 31 июля 2015 года в США и 4 августа 2015 года в России. Второй раз набор вошёл в состав коллекции The Sims 4 Коллекцияː Веселимся вместе, вышедшей 13 декабря 2016 года в США. 18 апреля 2019 года дополнение вышло на игровых приставках PlayStation 4 и Xbox One.

Музыка
Вместе с игровым набором в игру были добавлены ряд композиций в стиле нью эйдж

Восприятие

Сайт TheGamer назвал «День Спа» по состоянию на 2019 год лучшим игровым набором в The Sims 4. Тем не менее игровой набор занял последнее место по популярности среди игроков.

Критик Gaming Trend назвал игровой набор достойным расширением для The Sims 4, который добавляет большое разнообразие спа-процедур для сима, а по разнообразию новых возможностей по мнению критика, «День спа» даже превосходит первый набор «В Поход». Основной недостаток дополнения заключается в концентрации на узкоспециальной теме, которая заметна лишь при посещении спа-салона, тем не менее объекты можно добавить на свой участок. Также критику пришлись по душе новые объекты в современном и минималистическом стиле, которые украсят интерьер дома и сада.

Более сдержанный отзыв оставил рецензент impulse gamer, назвав игровой набор небольшим и причудливым расширением, которое даст возможность отдохнуть вашим симам и добавит набор из красивых объектов строительства и интерьера. При этом критик назвал набор переоценённым и не стоящим своих денег, так как он по своей масштабности совсем далёк от предыдущего набора «В Поход», добавляющего новый игровой мир.

The Division 2's PvP is "Absolutely" Viable for Solo Players
Andrew McMahon
Published on January 17, 2019 Andrew McMahon
Home » News » The Division 2's PvP is "Absolutely" Viable for Solo Players
Ever since The Division 2 was announced, there have been a lot of questions regarding what Ubisoft would keep and change from the original title. While there is certainly an approach of "don't fix what isn't broken" for the sequel, a lot of updates have been implemented especially in regards to PvP.
During a recent interview we had with Red Storm Creative Director Terry Spier, we learned more about how The Division 2 will be improving the game's PvP.
One of the biggest changes for The Division 2 will be its focus on allowing solo players to have a fair experience in the Dark Zone. Red Storm Creative Director Terry Spier spoke about this, also detailing the perks of playing alone.
"You can absolutely have a solo player experience in the Dark Zone, and it can be lucrative for you," said Spier. "The whole intention of the Dark Zone, being about greed, is that there is a little bit of potential for a faster path through the RNG, farming part of the RPG."
He went on to emphasize that fights will also be inherently fairer in The Division 2 thanks to normalization.
Since combat has been balanced to reflect gun stats and build choices, PvP interactions will focus on strategy and skill, rather than who has played the game more and unlocked better weapons.
The addition of organized PvP, Conflict, will also help solo players show off their strengths.
While queuing up as a group for games of Skirmish and Domination certainly have their advantages, The Division 2's 4v4 dedicated multiplayer is another instance where expert players won't be held back if they are good enough.
One of the most interesting changes in The Division 2's PvP though – at least in the Dark Zone – actually revolves around the ability to avoid it entirely, all while still earning incentives.
Thanks to the game's new Rogue Loop, you can spend an entire night in the Dark Zone completing rogue content.
Doing these mini-missions will eventually lead you to a safe zone area that features a merchant selling valuable gear. These actions do have consequences though, as player's rogue status will increase with every rogue action they do.
Go through the Rogue Loop too quickly in a short amount of time and competitors will be aware of your location, likely eager to steal all of the precious loot you just got.
Play your cards right though, using the map to keep an eye on other players and engagements, and the Dark Zone will be just as profitable for lone wolves as it is for groups.
The Division 2 releases for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on March 15, 2019.
Our full interview with Red Storm Creative Director Terry Spier, will be released tomorrow but in the meantime, let us know what you think of the PvP changes below.

After a long day on a fluorescent boat at Xochimilco, the vestigial canal system just south of Mexico City, we stopped by the famous "El Lago de los Cisnes" in Chapultepec for tacos. Tired and sunburned, we wanted something quick and satisfying. Mexico City, as it turns out, has the perfect solution: tacos al pastor. The restaurant seemed to combine the flavor of street food without the street; it was a comfortable sit-down place. Despite the pork rotisserie and roaring fire pit by the door, the ambience inside was quiet and tranquil full of tables able to accomodate large groups of people. Our waiter served as the mediator between the chaos and the calm.
While we were looking at the menu our waiter brought us a variety of colorful salsas and grilled onions. We ordered a chicharron de queso to start -- a giant crispy chip of yellow grilled cheese -- that we picked at while glancing through the menu. The cheese tasted almost like a gouda, but was much saltier and had a hint of caramel. It was too salty for me, almost like picking at grilled pecorino.
Cebolla al grill - Charred onions dripped in salsa maggi, salt, and pepper. The cooking (burning) process lends them a smoky and sweet flavor. Despite the apparent blackening on the bottom they did not taste burnt, though they probably weren't too good for your health either. These were fun to eat until the main food came -- sweet without any burn.
Guacamole con Totopos y Queso Fresco - This was the first time I witnessed a Mexican family ordering guacamole at the table. Maybe they did it because of me, but I had to rub my eyes and double check. As much as I love thick guacamole and always want to order it, my girlfriend insists that the chunky guacamole served in the states is simply not Mexican.
I usually see a thinner more watery guacamole dripped onto tacos, but rarely eaten solely with totopos. Being that this restauranrt can get quite touristy, they might offer it for foreigners. Regardless, it was delicious. It was pure avocado with specks of cilantro -- no integrated onion or tomato. The texture was smooth and saltless flavor much like scooping out a raw avocado.
Taco al Pastor - Tomato-red pork shreds garnished with pineapple, scallions, and cilantro atop a corn tortilla. Coarse chunks of golden yellow cornmeal were visible in the thick taco. These were less greasy than the tacos I had at El Charo de las Ranas: I don't think the tortilla sat in the fat dripping from the pork spit. These were great.
Caldo de Pollo - A variation of caldo de pollo that was pretty heavy. This was the first time I ordered chicken soup in Mexico where an oil slick layer of fat was clearly visible on the surface. I wanted to lay a piece of bread over the surface to soak it up. The hand-pulled chicken was deliciously tender and moist, but I couldn't get past the copious fat.
Making a "gringa" - A taco "sandwich" encasing pork and cheese. Seemed like a combination of a quesadilla and taco al pastor.
I'd definitely recommend a visit to El Lago de los Cisnes when in Chapultapec; the tacos were quite good. The only problem is that there are so many places in this city with great tacos al pastor. I guess I'll just have to try them all a few more.


We have a small farmland in the province, during rainy season we usually plant rice and string beans but during summer we plant water melon, melon, squash, eggplant, and many other vegetables that grow without too much water; wait, I almost forgot pipino or cucumber. Among those veggies I mentioned, I usually rate cucumbers as the lowest because I seldom see them as important as the water melons and the others and usually forgot what they can give to people.
I am not a nutritionist, so I searched online for the benefits of the cucumbers to us. According to Huffingtonpost.com written by Anna Ricci, there are 10 health benefits of cucumbers. 1. Help you stay hydrated 2. Support heart health 3. Protect your brain from neurological diseases 4. Protect your skin against the effect of aging 5. Fight inflammation in the body and reduce the risk of cancer 6. Relieve Pain 7. Reduce bad breath 8. Protect your bones 9. Prevent constipation 10. Maintain healthy wait.
In the field of beauty, cucumber has a huge contribution and the benefits that they can give are overflowing. The prominent that I usually see on TV is a slice of cucumber for removing eye-bags, for a fairer skin, and anti-aging. With the health benefits that I discovered online, I will make sure to buy cucumbers every time visit the supermarket.

To become a lawyer, Whitnie McVay Henderson juggled full-time law school at night and a full-time job running an Oakland career program for inner city teenagers by day — all while raising her 8-year-old son.
Then, after just one year at San Francisco Law School, Henderson lost her job to de-funding. But with the help of a $7,500 scholarship from the Foundation of the State Bar of California, the largest of several scholarships awarded to Henderson, she was able to continue her studies, raise her academic standing to second in her class and accept a judicial internship in Alameda.
As in the past, attorneys can include a donation to the foundation this year when paying their State Bar fees. In addition, they can choose to contribute to the Conference of Delegates, which proposes changes in the law to improve the justice system. And they can join a State Bar special section for the educational and networking benefits. The bar's fee statement packet — sent to more than 170,000 attorneys last month — highlights all three options as ways in which attorneys can voluntarily support their profession.
The summary disbarment statute requiring an automatic loss of license for attorneys convicted of certain felonies involving moral turpitude seems likely to survive two challenges heard by the California Supreme Court.
The justices appeared unmoved by arguments last month that the handful of lawyers who face such punishment each year should be allowed to explain their actions to the State Bar Court rather than be disbarred without a hearing.
Looking back on 92-year-old Walter Gordon's life, you might say that the course of his 63-year legal career was set by two attractive young ladies and a couple of bowls of chili.
"Slim," as he was known back in the late 1920s, was working in one of the chili and bean parlors popular in Los Angeles at the time when two young teachers vacationing from Ohio stopped by for a bite to eat.

The elusive A2 is back again with 'SMOKEDOUT'.
After he released a slew of projects last year, A2 took a slight break from releasing music, but clearly not recording. 'SMOKEDOUT' is very upbeat for an A2 track but it's a nice change of pace. Having teased that he has a new project coming soon titled All Spill, to have a single seems like a sign it may be on the way sooner than we expect.
But then again, this is A2 we're talking about, a man who teased his BLUE project for over 3 years. 'SMOKEDOUT' is a good sign, especially with A2 saying he was going to be flooding Spotify this year. So far this has been true as he has put a chunk of his old Soundcloud tracks on Spotify via the Them vs Us artist account. These appeared in addition to some newer tracks that only had visual releases like 'I Need'. Hopefully he continues pairing up these re-releases with newer music.
The fact that he added a mini-video for 'Southside' shows some true fan service. This track was a fan favourite from his last project PURPLE ,so to get the benefit the visuals for this and the 'SMOKEDOUT' video is a double blessing. The visuals for both tracks are typical of A2 they aren't overly flashy, and are focused on being the best fit or reflection of each track. Both feature smoky but strongly coloured visuals that somehow perfectly reflect the nature of the songs. Who knew music could evoke colours in the mind without actually mentioning them in this way? Well clearly A2 and CRE8TIVE EFFECTION did.
Back to 'SMOKEDOUT' specifically. As mentioned it is uptempo, and as such is accompanied with a memorable and infectious hook. Add to this the patented laid back delivery and we have a track that could become an A2 classic. 'SMOKEDOUT' is definitely going to be a big hit with crowds at live shows. Braggadocio, solid lyrics, and excellent production – what more could you want?

Hillman State Park 1…. Adit 0…..
So much as happened since the last time I posted! I was finally able to get out in the field and I got to see more of Pittsburgh. I'm starting to really love this city so much to do and see!
Our studies are being conducted in Hillman State Park, which is approximately 3,600-acres. About 25 miles west of Pittsburgh, it is right outside the city. In this area there are numerous amounts of abandon wells, the problem lies that they were not properly managed and the state only has location data for a small portion of these wells. So the first step for the researchers on my team was to find them. The method they utilized was a evaluation that required a helicopter that is attached with magnets to pick up trace amounts of metal in the field. Even though this test is helpful, it picks up all metal traces so researchers had to physically get on foot to filter out what were not wells. After they found the actual wells they used a handled device to determine if there was a methane leak. They also rated the sites on how easy it was to access the area. 1 being the most accessible and 5 being the least.
Prior to going out in the field, I was told to come up with a game plan of what sites we will be collecting data at. By looking at prior data sets and maps I choose sites that was easy to access and that was determined to have significant leaks. I was also informed numerous times to prepare for the field.
One thing that was hammered into me was the tick epidemic. Having prior experience working in the field, I thought this time around it was going to be the same so I wasn't worried.
During the first day I conducted a resistivity survey on one of my sites to detect and map subsurface features and patterning because this particular well was buried underground. Most of the day was spent setting up this large survey and then waiting for the data to be slowly collected. I was able to learn a lot about geophysics during my first day. The other two researchers used this time to explore new sites. Working in the sun all day took its toll and I fell asleep at 7pm!
Day 2 was a lot more fun! All the sites we went to had wellheads above ground. Seeing the abandon gas and oil wells was like walking into history. Its so crazy to think that these sites were built in the 1800s! It really put the work that my PCGS peers and I are doing into perspective. We are just now trying to rectify past mistakes. I cant imagine the massive workload future researchers will have for the mistakes we are currently making. On this day I got to use all the equipment that my team brings to the field. It was a really productive day and we determined some of the sites was emitting significant amounts of methane. Day 2 came with complications as I found a small black tick in my arm, which was frustrating and scary since I took the steps to prevent such a thing. You don't even feel it in your skin! I completely underestimated the tick epidemic this area has!
The next day I went to the occupational health clinic at work and got a deer tick cut out of me and was put on precautionary antibiotics. One of the researchers had two cut out of him. Hillman state park 1…. Adit…0! I am fine now but I definitely learned my lesson. Its a occupational hazard that you just cant see coming.
Aside from that scare, I was able to explore the city and fit in some fun activities! I went to a Pirates game and also went to the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. I could spend days at the conservatory so many cool and interesting plants. I was able to learn a lot about sustainable plants which I know my PCGS peers would have enjoyed as well!
I am so excited to continue my research in the following weeks! As everyday passes and with every new experience my believe of how important the work my fellow PCGS peers are doing strengthens. The future of the world is in our hands! So excited and proud to say I'm part of this community of sustainable minded individuals.
This was a great read, its good that you got out in the field quite early in your internship. I think hands on experience is sometimes better than 'office work'. Its cool you got to play with a lot of 'cool' toys. I definitely would of freaked out if that tick was in my skin, you handled it like a champ.

I'm known for making sweeping declarations of "never again!" only to find out that "never again" is just a way to set myself up for failure.
I'm never going to smoke cigarettes again.
I'm never going to eat processed food again.
I'm never going to drink alcohol again.
I'm never going to eat meat again.
I'm never going to go another day without exercise… again.
These "nevers" are similar to what many turn into New Year's resolutions. More often than not, New Year's resolutions fall by the wayside soon after the declaration is made, which leads to more self-deprecation and an overall feeling of disappointment and failure.
I'd like to make daily efforts to improve my life.
Without giving myself an ultimatum, I was able to reward myself for small but positive changes. I was able to forgive myself for lapses in my day-to-day decisions. I was able to indulge occasionally in previously chastised behavior without guilt. Finally, I was able to adapt to new research or physical responses that amended my definition of improvement.
As I continue to redefine improvement, I not only avoid the nevers, but I also keep one phrase as a constant: don't leave a void.
If you're in the market for habit change, do not simply remove unwanted habits. You'll find yourself in a situation similar to many ex-smokers, who always find themselves saying in the beginning, "Okay, no more cigarettes. Now, what do I do with my hands!?" Now that you remove the unwanted habit, what do you do instead? Habits become harder and harder to remove if nothing is added in its place. After all, if your life becomes focused solely on removing the negative, you'll soon become hyper-focused on the negative in your life without finding and appreciating all of the positive.
I've had similar moments while trying to realign my personal finances, consumption, impact, and priorities. I found the abusive mental chatter overwhelming: Just stop spending money you don't even have! Wow, do you even care about the planet? You call yourself a minimalist? Look at your closet! So you're sitting down to watch television again. Way to focus on your priorities.
Instead of creating deprivation and promoting negative self-talk, I found positive replacement behaviors that aligned with my definition of improvement. Instead of spending money on commodities, I leave my money alone and enjoy commodities I've already acquired. I shop my bookshelf or restring an old guitar. Instead of turning off the television and staring into a blank screen, I hike a new trail, catch up on a favorite blog or podcast, meditate, or play music.

Container Management Features Latest News News Topics
VMware Acquires Heptio to Add Kubernetes Expertise
November 7, 2018 November 6, 2018 Mike Vizard container platform, Heptio, kubernetes, open source, virtual machines, vmware
VMware announced it is acquiring Heptio as part of an ongoing effort to extend its reach into clusters based on Kubernetes.
Announced at VMworld Europe 2018 conference, the acquisition adds several Kubernetes management tools, along with a set of load balancing tools and a Heptio Ark disaster recovery application for Kubernetes, to the existing VMware portfolio. The Heptio transaction is expected to close this quarter. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Paul Fazzone, senior vice president and general manager for the Cloud Native Apps Business Unit at VMware, says Heptio technologies will be employed to advance both the Pivotal Container Service (PKS), a distribution of Kubernetes optimized for VMware environments developed in collaboration with sister company Pivotal Software, and the portfolio of VMware management tools that can be applied to multiple distributions.
Fazzone says Kubernetes is now the fastest growing software infrastructure platform in the IT industry. Acquiring Heptio brings two of its developers—Heptio CEO Craig McLuckie and CTO Joe Beda—into the VMware Cloud Native Business Unit. Beda is also a member of the Kubernetes steering committee.
Kubernetes was developed to create a "goldilocks abstraction" on top of a diverse range virtual machines, physical servers and cloud computing environments, McLuckie says. One of VMware's biggest advantages is that it is no stranger to IT infrastructure disruption; as such, he says, VMware has a lot of experience to bring to bear in helping accelerate adoption of Kubernetes in traditional enterprise IT environments.
IT organizations now are navigating the degree to which they want to be locked into the different extensions that various providers of Kubernetes distributions are making. VMware, for example, includes an instance of VMware NSX network virtualization software with PKS. In a similar fashion, Amazon Web Services has made extensions into its own storage and networking services. Applications that run on different distributions are portable, but the cluster they run on can't be moved easily unless IT organizations standardize on a specific Kubernetes distribution.
VMware is also making a case for deploying Kubernetes on top of virtual machines to make it easier to extend existing enterprise security, storage and networking services. But there are rival viewpoints that contend Kubernetes running on bare-metal servers eventually will eliminate altogether the need for virtual machines, at least in their current form. Reasons for pursuing that latter approach range from eliminating virtual machine overhead to not wanting to have to license commercial virtual machine software. It's expected most organizations will end up with deployments that span a mix of virtual and physical machines for years to come.
In the meantime, it's clear VMware is determined to become a Kubernetes force to be reckoned with. Rather than simply set its current dominance of enterprise IT slip away over time as organizations transition to containers running on Kubernetes, VMware is increasingly expanding its portfolio to incorporate support whenever and wherever possible.

Education has continued to evolve, diversify and extend its reach and coverage since the dawn of human history. Every country develops its system of education to express and promote its unique socio-cultural identity and also to meet the challenges of the times. World Declaration on Education for All (1990) stressed upon the need to provide expanded educational opportunities that will translate into meaningful development. According to the declaration meeting, basic learning needs constitute a common and universal human responsibility. In response to the growing international commitment to education for all Government of India unveiled its National Policy on Education. The National Policy of Education 1986, as revised in 1992, had indicated three thrust areas in elementary education:
Universal access, enrolment;
Universal retention of children upto 14 years of age;
A substantial improvement in the quality of education to enable all children to achieve essential levels of learning.The 86th Constitutional Amendment Act 2002 made education a Fundamental Right for children in the age group of 6-14 years by providing that "the State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of six to fourteen years in such manner as the State may, by law, determine". With this reference, the law enacted "The right of children to free and compulsory education Act 2009 (RTE)".Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (For Class I-VIII) has been one such initiative of Government of India. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is an effort to universalize elementary education by community-ownership of the school system. It is a response to the demand for quality basic education all over the country. The SSA programme is also an attempt to provide an opportunity for improving human capabilities to all children, through provision of community-owned quality education in a mission mode. In Jharkhand, the Jharkhand Education Project Council is the implementing agency for Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. In khunti District Jharkhand Education Project is successfully implementing Sarva Siksha Abhiyan in all 6 Blocks.

Paper $14.00 ISBN: 9781789141283 Published August 2019 For sale in North and South America only
Susan McHugh
248 pages | 110 halftones | 5 x 7 3/4 | © 2019
The tale—or tail?—of the canine has been fundamentally entwined with humanity since prehistory, and this ancient and fascinating story is told in Susan McHugh's Dog.
This book unravels the debate about whether dogs are descended from wolves and moves on to deal with canines in mythology, religion, and health; explore dog cults in ancient and medieval civilizations as disparate as Alaska, Greece, Peru, and Persia; and trace correspondences between the histories of dogs in the Far East, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Dog also examines the relatively recent phenomenon of dog husbandry and the invention of breeds, as well as the canine's role in science fact and fiction—from Laika, the first astronaut, and Pavlov's famous conditioned dogs, through to science fiction novels and cult films like A Boy and His Dog.
Showing how dogs today contribute to human lives in a huge number of ways, not only as pets and guide dogs but also as sources of food in Asia, entertainment workers, and scientific and religious objects, McHugh reveals how we have shaped these animals over the millennia, and in turn, how dogs have shaped us.
"In her enchanting book Dog, McHugh draws on mythology, religion, and 'dog cults' to show how we and our best animal buddies have shaped each other over the centuries."
"Enchanting."
International Zoo News
"Lavishly and eclectically illustrated. It surveys the whole gamut of human-dog relations, in religion and myth, literature, science, art, and entertainment. If I, who am largely indifferent to the species' charms, found it an enjoyable and stimulating read, it can presumably be safely recommended to all real dog enthusiasts. But I'll be waiting eagerly for cats to receive the Reaktion treatment"
Archives of Natural History
"The information is freshly presented. . . . Even the most jaded owner of books about dogs should buy this one."
Coventry Evening Telegraph
"Dog . . . has lots of pictures, but here they are used to illustrate her detailed look at the places dogs have held in society over the centuries in different cultures. Fascinating and thought-provoking, and uses lots of different sources."

The joke that once was kinda funny is no joke anymore.
The Passion of the Christ 2.
The blockbuster film The Passion of the Christ 1 must've grossed so much that they actually did what we all joked (and seriously joked, because seriously? You can't actually do this) about - that it would be followed by the sequel.
The Resurrection will document the days after the crucifixion straight through to the ascension.
My first thought was, "Mel Gibson? I thought you took yourself and your movie seriously!" (even though I myself didn't so much). Then I discovered that it wasn't Mr Mel Gibson at all who had this "brilliant" idea or who is behind this new "serious", "inspiriational" film. No, my friends, it will not be Mr Gibson who directs "The Passion of Christ: This Time It's Personal". It will be our favourite advocat of the Christian faith, Mr Tim LaHaye!
Yes, that wonderful theologian Tim LaHaye (author of the "Left Behind" series - oh how my stomach turns!) will be directing this next major (?) blockbuster. That very serious Biblical scholar Mr LaHaye will be the Man Behind the Film, ensuring that it is a) Scriptural and b) Awesome and c) Awesome again. Oh yeah, and d) Totally Awesome and Packed with Apocolyptic Awesomeness.
How reassuring that the Christian community is finally being represented by such wonderful people and movies! Finally! No longer will be be plagued by the reputations of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell! No longer will people talk about The Last Temptation of Christ! No, my good Christian soldiers, THIS is The Sequel the Whole Church Has Long Been Waiting For!
Churches, book your local cinemas now! The Resurrection will be the next biggest teaching tool since The Passion! Unsaved friends welcome!

Client Confidentiality: The Buried Bodies Case
In the summer of 1973, four college-aged friends set out on a camping trip in New York's Adirondack Mountains. What happened over the next hours led to a case that generated a national debate about confidentiality between an attorney and client. Commonly referred to as the "Buried Bodies Case," it is an essential part of law school curriculum that addresses legal ethics and professional responsibility.
Robert Francis Garrow attacked the four campers in July 1973, stabbing Philip Domblewski to death while the other three escaped and summoned help. After a massive 12-day manhunt, Garrow was captured. Immediately after his arrest, Garrow requested that Frank Armani, a general practice lawyer in Syracuse, New York, who had represented Garrow in previous minor matters, represent him in the pending murder charge. The court named Armani and Francis Belge, another local lawyer, as Garrow's appointed counsel.
During the pretrial preparation, Garrow admitted to his attorneys that he had murdered Domblewski. He also admitted to other crimes, including abducting, raping, and murdering two females in separate incidents: 16-year-old Alicia Hauck and 20-year-old Susan Petz. Garrow described the locations where he had dumped their bodies. His description was so specific that Belge was able to locate the remains of both women and photograph the sites.
Armani and Belge told no one of Garrow's confession. The female victims were considered missing persons and police suspected Garrow of murdering them. Petz's distraught father confronted Armani at his office, asking whether Armani had any information about his daughter. As a result of this incident, Armani refused multiple attempts by Hauck's father to meet with him.
Garrow's lawyers were faced with the dilemma of upholding their ethical duty to preserve information told them by their client. They had information that would enable the families of the slain girls to know for certain the fate of their daughters and to properly bury the bodies. Armani also came to the painful realization that he was acquainted with the father of one of the victims and that she had been the classmate of Armani's daughter.
The lawyers kept their secret and Garrow's case proceeded to trial many months later. Under direct questioning, Garrow confessed to Domblewski's murder, as well as the murders of the two missing women. He also confessed to multiple rapes and abductions throughout upstate New York. The day after Garrow's testimony, Armani and Belge acknowledged publicly that they had known all along about the murders and the locations of the bodies of the two women.
The attorneys became the target of widespread public outrage, including vandalism and death threats, and were forced to relocate their families to protect their safety. The lawyers insisted their duty of confidentiality bound them to protect the information disclosed by their client. The legal community was largely supportive of Armani and Belge, but the public at large widely distrusted lawyers in a post-Watergate world and did not see things the same way. Both men lost longtime friendships and saw their law practices wither and fail. They were both investigated by a grand jury and Belge was ultimately indicted, as he had been alone when he found one of the bodies. Belge admitted to moving the remains to better photograph them and was charged with failing to report a dead body and failing to provide it with a decent burial. Those charges were later dismissed by a trial court judge, who praised Belge for his commitment to his ethical duty as an attorney. People v. Belge, 372 N.Y.S.2d 798 (1975).
The family of one of the victims filed an ethics complaint against the lawyers with the state bar. Four years later, the Committee on Professional Ethics of the New York State Bar Association dismissed the complaint, stating in its opinion that to encourage full disclosure of all potentially relevant facts to his lawyer, a client must have the assurance of confidentiality, "a requirement embodied by law in the attorney-client privilege," even if those facts may reveal the commission of prior crimes. A client who withholds information from his lawyer "runs a substantial risk of not being according to his full legal rights." Opinion 479 (1978).
Years later, Armani described the ethical conflict as "the duty to keep a client's secrets versus the citizen's obligation to report crimes." At play was also a moral duty to ease the suffering of grieving parents, one that was particularly important to Armani as a parent himself. "[T]he fact that I have a dead girl, the fact that her body is there, [measured] against the breaking heart of a parent … it's a terrible thing to play God at that moment, but in my judgment, and I still feel that way, their suffering is not worth jeopardizing my sworn duty or my oath of office or the Constitution." Ethics on Trial, reported by Fred Graham for WETA, PBS Video (1986).
Armani never questioned the duty imposed by the oath of the office he held to "keep inviolate the secrets of our clients." He believed the dilemma to be "a question of which is the higher moral good at the moment … the question of the Constitution, the question of even a [expletive] like [Garrow] having a proper defense, having adequate representation, being able to trust his lawyer as to what he says." Id.
Forty-five years later, this case is still relevant to the discussion over a lawyer's duty of confidentiality to clients. That duty is set forth in Rule 1.6 of the ABA's Model Rules of Professional Conduct. It is believed that the case was a contributing factor to the inclusion of "death and substantial bodily injury" as an exception to the duty of confidentiality under Rule 1.6. Id., p. 22.
At the time of Garrow's trial, his lawyers were governed by New York's version of the ABA Model Code of Professional Responsibility, which allowed a lawyer to reveal "the intention of his client to commit a crime and the information necessary to prevent the crime," but not prior acts admitted in confidence. Decades later, in a panel discussion at an ABA Conference on Professional Responsibility, Armani revealed he was not aware in 1973 that there was even a written ethics code for New York lawyers. His guide was the oath he had taken in 1956 when he was sworn in as a lawyer to maintain the confidence of his client's secrets. Lisa G. Lerman, et al., The Buried Bodies Case: Alive and Well After Thirty Years, 2007 Prof. Law. 19, 29-31 (2007).
Armani insists that he is no hero and, if presented with the situation again, would act no differently. Id.

Why You Can't Put a Price on Creative Freedom
Natalie Young, founder of Las Vegas restaurant Eat, says there is no substitute for being able to make all the decisions about your business.
By Will YakowiczStaff writer, Inc.@WillYakowicz

The Downtown Project in Las Vegas, which began in earnest two years ago, has begun to transform the seedier parts of the city.
The project, started by Zappos founder Tony Hsieh, has raised $350 million, acquired more than 60 acres of land, invested in over 300 businesses, and created over 800 new jobs. Natalie Young, the founder and chef of Eat, a restaurant that serves shrimp and grits and free-range chicken sandwiches, is one of the entrepreneurs who landed capital from the project.
Inc. interviewed Young for a Trep Life mini documentary about her experience running the business. The first year and a half were all-consuming, she says. "It was 10 hours a day, seven days a week, on the line cooking in the kitchen. [I was] perfecting recipes, training the staff, setting the standards for the restaurant, and every single day living, breathing, sleeping the restaurant."
Today, she says, it's all about staying vigilant to keep staff happy and the food, flavor, and atmosphere consistent.
As hard as the work has been, Young says no amount of money could replace the last two years of building and running a business herself.
"I have complete creative freedom. That in itself is worth--there's no price," she says. "The opportunity to build a restaurant from the ground up, to make every single decision is priceless. There's no money that could substitute for that experience. I am rich beyond dollars."
