Berkeley students should organize protest against Milo Yiannopoulos

The Berkeley Against Trump coalition, previously known as the Berkeley J20 coalition, invites all solidarity-minded students and other members of the campus community to protest with us against far-right agitator Milo Yiannopoulos on Feb. 1. We will gather at 5 p.m at Sproul and show our unwillingness to allow our campus to be used to spread Yiannopoulous's vile bigotry at this time when the forces of oppression are ascendant nationally. All those thousands who rallied with us on Sproul Plaza against the inauguration of hater-in-chief Donald Trump on Jan. 20 should join us to continue defending solidarity on our campus. The university administration's refusal to cancel Yiannopoulos's event is irrelevant — the campus belongs to the students, staff and faculty who run it, and in our numbers we will demonstrate exactly how we will run it. UC Davis shut down an event showcasing Yiannopoulous and pharma rich boy Martin Shkreli — we should all learn from this example.
Right-wingers have derided oppressed students standing up against bigotry as "special snowflakes." We give no quarter to this slander and remind all potential allies: It was precisely the mass student organizing against racism and imperialism in the 1960s on this campus which led to an administration crackdown on free speech, birthing the Free Speech Movement (FSM). The powers that be have always been hostile to unyielding struggle against oppression, preferring half-measures like Chancellor Dirks's recent statement, which offers lip service for values of inclusion and diversity.
However, many other well-meaning people are also on the fence about how to respond to Yiannopoulous's impending presence. They are repulsed by him and the vile racism and misogyny that he spreads, but feel the culture of free speech on our campus should give us pause about shutting him down. We implore all of these people to revisit the actual history of FSM. The years 1963-64 were the height of the nonviolent direct action phase of the civil rights movement, nationally as well as at Berkeley. This was a time when, even in the liberal Bay Area, Black people were shut out of nearly all public positions of employment: clerks, cashiers, bank tellers, etc. The Berkeley chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) led a series of militant demonstrations and sit-ins to win equal rights for Black people. It was because of this that the university administration banned organizations from using Sproul Plaza, and the FSM began. As FSM participant Joel Geier describes:
"This connection to the civil rights movement is necessary to understanding the Free Speech Movement. It wasn't just about the right of unrestricted free speech. It was about the university response to the political pressures from the capitalist establishment of California, which was trying to crack down and stop the mobilization of campus activists taking on the racist hiring practices of California corporations. It was an attempt to shut down the civil rights movement on campus that was engaging in off-campus activity that was "illegal" by holding sit-ins against the "legal" right of the employers not to hire Blacks."
It was in this context — one of massive, unpermitted demonstrations against bigotry and repeated arrests — that FSM leader Mario Savio famously implored students who were fed up with the how "odious" things were to put their "bodies upon the gears" of the university "machine" and stop it from proceeding:
"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
The Berkeley Against Trump coalition calls on all solidarity-minded members of the campus to fight for this true legacy of FSM. The far-right is getting organized against us — we must get organized against them. The first step is coming out en masse to kick Yiannopoulous and his hateful bile off our campus.

Social Value Policy
We are committed to creating a sustainable inclusive society actively managing our operations in ways which optimise our value to the communities in which we work. Social Value is therefore intrinsic to everything we do, for this reason we manage Social Value through a suite of interdependent policies and procedures which collectively deliver our objectives.
This policy applies to all Manchester Growth Company employees, associates, secondees, agency staff and third parties who undertake activity for and on our behalf. It applies to the goods and services we procure, our direct operations and the services we provide to our customers.
We are a Values based organisation whose purpose is to deliver growth with passion; creating a future where everyone has the chance of a better quality of life, through new skills, investment and opportunity. Our staff promote, influence, train, explore and advise to deliver maximum benefit for the communities in which we work.
This policy provides an effective framework for realising our commitment to maintaining and where possible enhancing the Social Value we create in the communities we work within, both as an employer and a provider of services.
All employees, associates, secondees, agency staff and third parties are responsible for ensuring that this Policy is adhered to in accordance with our shared Values: Make a positive difference; Stronger together; Empower people; Do the right thing and Build on success.
As referenced some activities within the scope of this Policy are covered by additional dedicated policies and procedures to ensure that our Social Value objectives are delivered.
We are a not for profit group driving forward economic development within localities by boosting investment, skills, employment and enterprise to benefit the lives of residents and the wider community.
We deliver activities across five service areas: Business Support & Finance, Skills, Employment, Marketing and Organisation Development Services. With over 1,000 employees across 40 sites we recognise that our activities have wide ranging and interconnected impacts on the Social Value we generate in the communities we serve.
In recognising this we are committed to contributing to a more sustainable society and to continually improve the positive impacts we make. As an anchor institution we recognise the contribution we can make to increasing social value through our own direct impact as a large employer. Our impact can be categorised in terms of four key areas:
1. Our supply chain and the goods and services we buy
We use our purchasing power to support, influence and secure social value from our suppliers, and we ask our suppliers how they can support our six key Social Value objectives, namely: promote employments and economic sustainability; promote equity and fairness and raise the living standards of local residents; promote participation and citizen engagement; build capacity and sustainability of the voluntary and community sectors and promote environmental sustainability. This forms part of our evaluation process.
2. Our environmental impact
We have identified the key aspects where we have a negative impact on the environment, namely: heating and cooling, travel to clients, IT and paper; and we have a policy and systems in place to manage and reduce these impacts.
3. Our organisational development
We use our apprenticeship and traineeship policy to ensure roles are designed such that the broadest possible range of residents can apply and are advertised in ways to ensure they are aware of the opportunities. We use a web based recruitment portal to capture a broad spectrum of information from those who apply for roles including where they live and how far they progress in the process. This information feeds into our Equality, Diversion and Inclusion Steering group which oversees the development and delivery of all related policies, systems and procedures. On joining the company staff are able to access a structured learning and development programme to increase their knowledge and skills and benefit from our comprehensive Reward and Recognition programme.
These areas are covered by a range of separate interlinked polices including Environment, Sustainability, Procurement and a suite of HR polices and standards including Investors in People and Disability Confident.
4. Our support for our local communities
In addition, we can make a positive difference through the services we provide by:
ensuring we continue to develop services which meet the needs of those customers who are often less able to participate in mainstream support
ensuring we continually review how we can make improvements to the Social Value we create in the communities we support.
This includes supporting:
people to enter or return to the labour market after periods of exclusion
people to realise their potential in higher paid roles by increasing their skills
businesses to grow and connect with their communities while reducing environmental impact
businesses to grow and develop creating good jobs in good companies
businesses to buy locally wherever possible
employers to develop and retain their staff in fulfilling roles
employers to recruit staff from local or excluded communities
In order for us to realise these commitments, we have an Inclusive Growth steering group which has senior representation from across the Group reporting to our Internal Transformation Programme Board and Senior Management Team. This feeds into our planning processes and ultimately the Business Plan. The steering group acts as a central point bringing together relevant work streams from HR, marketing and communications, employee consultation, organisational development and the senior leadership team.
To realise our Social Value objectives we recognise the need for and are committed to communicating these objectives to our suppliers, potential and existing employees, customers and wider stakeholders. This is achieved via our procurement and recruitment processes and our existing communication channels including the Business Plan, intranet, employee consultative committee, newsletters, team briefings, staff induction processes and stakeholder engagement.
This policy and the actions arising from it will be annually reviewed as part of the business planning process which involves MGCs senior leadership and management teams with final approval via the MGC Board.

Great Photo! and timing catching the wings and tail open showing all of the feathers :) I have just got interested in taking photos of birds flying, it sure is fun when you catch one. I just have a few in my gallery and hope to get some more.


Local mobile searches will surpass local desktop searches for the first time in 2016, according to a new study by BIA/Kelsey. The report projects that users will conduct 113.4 billion local mobile searches vs. 85.6 billion local searches via desktop. By comparison, in 2011 there were 54.9 billion desktop searches against 19.7 billion mobile searches.
Two numbers stick out: First, BIA/Kelsey expects the number of local mobile searches to explode by nearly 600% in the next five years, while desktop searches increase less than 50%. As smartphones continue to penetrate the market — and consumers become increasingly comfortable with searching for information on the go — the disparity will only increase.
Ad dollars, however, will remain higher in desktop searches for the foreseeable future. While BIA/Kelsey thinks local mobile ad search revenue will grow from $400 million in 2011 to $3.2 billion in 2016, local search revenues from desktop access is projected to be $10.2 billion in 2016.
The last line is the key. Mobile is the future. The question is whether companies can create the technology to monetize those searches.

Boehner Got $5 million, Ryan $2 Million, McConnell $9 Million – Any Doubt Why TPA Passed?
We were sold and our "representatives" were purchased. It's that simple.
By Rick Wells, RickWells.US | June 26, 2015 | EddieFleming.com
Shared by Victoria Baer, Agenda 21, GOP, Political Corruption, Politics, Trade, Treason, Treaties, Tyranny, United Nations NWO
The politicians like to keep the money trail brushed as clean of their footprints as possible, to make it less blatantly obvious that they are exchanging votes for "campaign" cash. Money talks in DC. In our current government it is the only language other than Orwellian double speak which is understood.
John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Mike McCarthy and other House members did quite well for themselves financially in the pursuit of their corporate masters' dreams of overthrowing the United States government.
Anyone who wonders how millionaires or billionaires are made on a Congressional salary can get some good insight from this information, published by Maplight.org.
In the instance of H.R. 1314, the legislative vehicle for moving Obamatrade, from the period of October 1st of 2012 to September 30th of 2014, the amount of "potentially" influential financial contributions heaped upon the largely unscrupulous members of Congress in both chambers was nothing short of obscene.
Contributions from pro-Obamatrade lobbyist alone were enough to make very wealthy people of those who are supposed to represent the citizens, and the period of time immediately preceding the vote, that between October 1st of last year and June of 2015 is still unknown. Certainly the pot was "sweetened" considerably more as the deadline drew nearer.
Contributions to House members from forces favorable to Obamatrade outnumbered those from those opposed by a factor of 8.6 times, $197,869,145 to $23,065,231. The differences were even more stark in the Senate, with a total of $285,225,162 in financial incentives being meted out from supporting groups and only $27,569,149 from the opposition, over ten times as much. There were 32 House members with over a million dollars in contributions and many who were just below that threshold. In the Senate, only five Senators were below the one million dollar mark, and two of those, Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Mike Lee (R-UT) voted no, and against betrayal of their country.
The formula in the House seems fairly simple, at least as far as rewarding those in leadership positions. Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) got a cool $5 million and change, Mike McCarthy (R-CA) half that at $2.4 million, and Steve Scalise (R-LA) half again at $1.2 million. For Paul Ryan, the price of American sovereignty was $2.2 million.
Rep Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) was a member of the million dollar club at $1,053,646. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) collected $1.4 million, Cathy McMorris Rogers received (R-WA) $900,732 and Mike Pompeo (R-KS) $949,708. Pete Sessions, House Rules Committee chairman, was compensated to the tune of $1,057,079, with his fellow Texan, Lamar Smith picking up $608K. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who fought against illegal immigration, we thought, during the amnesty battle, received $700,687 and voted for uncontrolled immigration and the usurpation of domestic American rule.
Financial gain doesn't appear to be the only reason behind surprising anti-American votes in favor of the three secret bills, a dictatorship and foreign control of our nation. Disappointing betrayals by supposed champion of conservatism, Steve King (R-IA), who received only $382K, Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) $358K, and Trey Gowdy at $305K still don't make sense.
In the Senate the picture is even uglier, and much more blatant. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) "acquired" $9.2 million, John Cornyn (R-TX) $5.3 million and Orrin Hatch $4.2, the third member of the Senate trio of traitors forcing this upon us.
Marco Rubio pocketed $3.9 million for voting to tie us to a bill he never read, with his fellow presidential candidate Lindsey Graham "earning" $3.4 million. Candidate Rand Paul (R-KY) voted against the package both times it came up in the Senate. Ted Cruz (R-TX) first voted in favor of it but was eventually forced to recognize the will of the people in the interest of the survival of his campaign and cast a meaningless vote once the debate and outcome was determined.
It is clear that money talks, and the people can take a hike. Once the numbers come in for the current year, it will be interesting to note just how much influence was purchased in the last days and weeks leading up to this betrayal. While nobody in the Senate is stupid enough to admit that their vote was purchased or influenced by being handed the equivalent of a mansion or a lifetime of earnings for most Americans, neither are we stupid enough to believe that a pattern of corruption doesn't exist.

Ryan Tannehill's knee not as serious as 1st feared
DAVIE, Fla. (AP) Ryan Tannehill was back at the Miami Dolphins' complex Monday, his left knee injury less serious than first feared.
The injury was diagnosed as a sprained ACL and MCL, coach Adam Gase said, meaning Tannehill will avoid surgery.
It remains unlikely he'll play again this season, and Matt Moore will make his first start since 2011 on Saturday against the New York Jets.
When Tannehill was hurt Sunday against Arizona, the Dolphins (8-5) feared a torn ACL that would require surgery and a long, arduous rehabilitation. The Dolphins learned the final diagnosis late Sunday.
''Better than what we thought,'' Gase said. ''I was happy for him. That's a hard injury to come back from and rehab. It's a long, long process.''
ACL surgery generally requires at least a nine-month recovery. Gase said the Dolphins don't know how long Tannehill will be sidelined by the sprained knee, but it's questionable whether he would be available even deep into the postseason.
''It's not going to be one game,'' Gase said. ''It will be longer than that.''
Tannehill should be available to take part in the Dolphins' offseason program, however.
In Arizona, Campbell said he spoke with Tannehill by phone on Monday.
''I reached out and I apologized to him,'' Campbell said. ''It definitely wasn't on purpose. I wasn't trying to hurt the guy. That's not who I am. I've never been that kind of guy. I never will be that kind of guy. I know how hard people work to play this game.''
While Tannehill was at the team complex Monday, Moore was absent - his wife was having their third child. But he'll soon be cramming as the new No. 1 quarterback.
''Matt is going to go hard,'' teammate Byron Maxwell said. ''He's going to go down fighting. He's not afraid of the moment. He's ready for it.''
Tannehill limped out of Sunday's win in the third quarter after being hit by defensive tackle Calais Campbell as he released a completion. Miami led 21-9 when Tannehill was hurt and won 26-23 on a last-second field goal.
The victory didn't lighten the Dolphins' glum mood. Tannehill was red-eyed on the sideline as the game ended and left the stadium on crutches.
''We've got to rally and try to finish this thing for him,'' safety Michael Thomas said. ''He was having a great season. Everybody was rallying behind him. So it's tough.
''Everybody is emotional about it. But it's a next-man-up mentality, and we've just got to find a way to keep this thing rolling.''
After a slow start when he came off the bench against Arizona, Moore led a late drive that ended with the game-winning field goal.
The Dolphins won for the seventh time in the past eight games and forged a tie with Denver in the race for the final AFC wild-card berth.
Only two Dolphins on the active roster have been with the team longer than Moore, a 10-year veteran who joined Miami in 2011.
He has 25 starts but none since the Dolphins drafted the durable Tannehill, who started 77 consecutive games in his first five NFL seasons despite taking 213 sacks.
Moore has thrown 16 passes in the past four seasons, including five Sunday. He has a 13-12 record as a starter - giving him a career winning percentage better than Tannehill - but this week will be the first time Moore has started for a team with a winning record.
Moore has 33 touchdown passes, 28 interceptions and a reputation for being an aggressive risk-taker.
''I know Matt will do whatever we need him to do to win a game,'' Gase said. ''I like the fact that he's not afraid to scramble outside the pocket and kind of play a little looser than a lot of coaches like. I like calling plays for him, because you never know what you're going to experience in that play.''
The new backup quarterback is expected to be rookie Brandon Doughty, a seventh-round draft pick from Western Kentucky who grew up near the Dolphins' complex.
Tannehill likely finishes 2016 with career highs in passer rating (93.5), completion rate (67.1 percent) and yards per attempt (7.7).
It has been his first year working with Gase, a quarterback expert who frequently praised Tannehill for his improvement - and resilience.
''I don't know if I've been around anybody tougher,'' Gase said. ''The guy has taken a lot shots since I've been here, unfortunately. He just keeps bouncing back.''
On Saturday the Dolphins will also be without center Mike Pouncey, who won't practice this week, Gase said.
It will be the fifth game in a row Pouncey has missed because of a hip injury that has limited him to five games this season.

Snow Sledging And Zooming, Ranveer Is Back And Kicking In SWITZERLAND!
He is suave! He is sensuous and he is back in the land of love, SWITZERLAND!
"I had such a great time on my trip to Switzerland this summer! I did some crazy things like sky diving and paragliding. Now that I am the official Brand Ambassador of Switzerland Tourism, I am just raring to go back in the winter and see what it looks like in the snow. I can't wait to try the slopes of St. Moritz and Titlis Engelberg. It will be so much fun," Ranveer said.
It is all courtesy the contract wherein the beautiful country has roped him in for promoting Switzerland Tourism's campaign for 2017 - Nature wants you back.
"Switzerland is a perfect place for a complete holiday experience that will leave you spellbound for days. Tourists look for a blend of sightseeing, relaxation, and adventure together with easily available accommodation and good food and welcoming hosts," Ritu Sharma, Deputy Director, Switzerland Tourism India, said.
There is no surprise why Ranveer was given this opportunity given his exuberant nature and uber cool style, and he seems to be making the most of it!


Petite Sirah is an unmistakable favorite among many red wine drinkers. This little red grape can be quite decadent in its final appreciation. Inky purple in color, Petite Sirah has a slightly higher acidity and is also much more tannic than other reds, having a pronounced mouthfeel with a long, yet surprisingly refreshing finish. Spiced aromas intermingled with a hefty dose dark fruit and plum flavors make this wine comfortable and "JAMMY". Petite Sirah stands on its own very well, but also makes a fantastic blender with Zinfandel or other varieties that need a little help from time to time. Its exceptional color and tannin also make it a great candidate for extended bulk or bottle aging and oak treatment.

Hence, with a defined contribution plan the risk and responsibility lies with the employee that the funding will be sufficient through retirement, whereas with the defined benefit plan the risk and responsibility lies with the employer or plan managers. So that flexibility, plus our role as a trusted adviser, makes the thing work actually in a pretty straightforward.
So the model is competitive. Move towards a hybrid structure to take advantage of investment earnings on accumulated assets. Over 80 countries have social pensions.

Meet Patricia Schultz, author of 1000 Places to See Before You Die
"Anyone who tells you that it's a small world just hasn't traveled."
Dave Pottinger
Patricia Schultz, author of 1000 Places to See Before You Die, in Khiva Uzbekistan.
"Our knees have expiration dates: do the difficult places first," says Patricia Schultz, Trafalgar's global brand ambassador and the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller 1000 Places to See Before You Die.
"I used to hate to fly. The very hint of turbulence still has me reaching for the hand of the stranger sitting next to me. I only think about the end point, the destination. It's always far more important than a few butterflies in my stomach.
"Anyone who tells you that it's a small world just hasn't traveled."
For 2019,1000 Places to See Before You Die has been reimagined as an oversize, photo-driven deluxe edition.
What's your favourite destination?
I am a major Italophile – it certainly helped that my mother came from Southern Italy and instilled a deep love for her heritage in her two daughters from early on. When my friends were worrying about what to do with their lives after university graduation, I grabbed my passport and moved to Florence to explore my ancestry and immerse myself in some serious dolce vita for a number of years. I visited every awe-inspiring nook and cranny of the country – and beyond. In many ways, the beginnings of my life of travel writing – and the seed for a book that would become 1000 Places – began then.
How did 1000 Places come about?
I had co-authored a book for Workman Publishing called Made in Italy about today's artists, artisans and business people keeping the Italian arts and skills alive today. After writing travel guides for many years, this project was up my alley while also a fascinating education. Years later my publisher Peter Workman and I brainstormed about the idea of 1000 Places, a book that would showcase all my favorite destinations around the world – from the iconic to the little known.
It was quite a daunting undertaking but I rarely say no to anything – it never occurred to me that I might not be qualified! It has been 16 years since it was published, and the book continues to be revised and updated, and has spawned many offspring including a brand new oversize deluxe edition this year. If nothing else, I have learned that people everywhere love to travel and always have – whether in real life or from the comfort of their armchairs.
What's the biggest surprise you've had wth a travel experience?
I recently decided to walk a segment of the Camino de Santiago across northern Spain. It is an ancient pilgrimage route that once drew Christians from all over Europe and today its last 60-100 miles leading up to the medieval city of Santiago de Compostela are again being walked by people of all faiths and from all over the world.

My intentions of training months in advance somehow never happened – but I made it! By the 4th day, walking 10 miles a day became no big deal (OK, I'm exaggerating just a little bit) and – to my surprise – it turned out to be one of the most rewarding, fulfilling and enjoyable physical and personal experiences I've ever attempted. Although I was with a small group, much of my time on the Camino was spent alone – in contemplation and surrounded by gorgeous scenery that has remained unchanged over time. The epiphany was that I needed more Caminos in my life.

Any time it didn't work out?
I remember arriving at the airport in Morocco in Casablanca years ago for a very early morning flight to Fez, only to find out it had been canceled and the next one was 48 hours later. By sheer chance, my friend and I fell into the extreme good care of Mohammed, a gentle man wearing an impeccable white djellaba with yellow leather slippers that turned up at the end, who promised that his dilapidated Mercedes taxi would get us there in four hours.
But first – we were starving: could he bring us to the best place in Casablanca for couscous? After a very animated call on his cell phone, Mohammed drove for over an hour before pulling up in front of a modest home with no front door where his mother, wife, extended family and much of the neighborhood were waiting for us. His mother still sends me a Christmas card every year.

What type of accommodations do you look for?
I am only fussy about cleanliness – that is paramount, and a warm and welcoming staff is a major plus. It helps if the neighborhood is central and safe. And amenities that cost the hotel next-to-nothing score big points with me – wifi, a coffee maker in the room, fresh flowers (a single bud counts) and a smile at the front desk.
What's the strangest place you've stayed at?
Well, I've stayed in yurts in Mongolia (where they are called gers), under the Sahara stars, in a treehouse in Kenya (which I almost set on fire – but that's a story for another time), and in cave hotels in Cappadocia (Turkey) and in Matera (Italy), the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjarvi Sweden 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, and I've slept on tatami mats in Japan and South Korea and in tents from Yellowstone NP to Kenya's Massai Mara where the sounds of the night – both thrilling and terrifying – kept me awake (and zombie-like the next day). I don't recall any of them being terribly comfortable – but they were part of a bigger experience and I smile when I recall those nights, and I guess that's the point.

What's your best travel story?
It took me 8 years to write the original 1000 Places and in 2003 when it was finally finished, back from the printer and in the bookstores, I rewarded myself with a trip to a magical place I had always dreamed of: Machu Picchu.
I had arrived in Peru's capital city of Lima and then connected to Cuzco at 11,000 ft above sea level. It is not an easy trip and I had a high-altitude headache the size of Texas when I met a lovely woman from the US in my hotel lobby.
She was as excited as a young girl – this was her first time out of the US and Peru was her first passport stamp. She had just turned 90 and for her birthday her children had given her a book called "1000 Places to See Before You Die," and they would arrange an adventure to the destination of her choice inspired by the book.
She had chosen Machu Picchu she said, because "our knees have expiration dates, and I need to get the difficult places out of the way first!"

What's your advice for our readers?
Do your homework – you don't want to travel to the other side of the world and miss the important stuff. Maximize your time but always leave time for serendipity – it often proves to be the best tour guide. We generally arrive in big cities and get caught up in all the urban attractions – but organize at least a half- or full-day trip outside of town for an entirely different perspective of day-to-day life. At some point in your trip, put down the map and GPS and wander. "If you don't get lost, you're not much of an explorer" someone once said – probably one of the world's great navigators!

Ofsted has today published its consultation on the proposed inspection framework for childminder agencies.
The eight-week consultation outlines plans to inspect childminder agencies in the same way as other early years settings with no notice inspections and judgements of outstanding, good, requires improvement, and inadequate.
In the document - 'Inspecting childminder agencies', Ofsted acknowledges that its proposed inspection arrangements will need to be 'flexible enough' to cover a wide range of business models, from very small community-based agencies to 'potentially large national private sector businesses'.
For this reason, no method of self-evaluation is prescribed in the proposed framework, leaving agencies free to provide the inspector with any evidence of 'whatever' system it uses to evaluate practices.
The consultation does not cover the requirements that agencies will need to meet in order to register with Ofsted. Nor does it cover the cycle under which Ofsted will have to inspect childminder agencies.
Ofsted does not include any new information about the inspection of individual childminders, only to reiterate that they have a choice about whether they join an agency or remain independent.
Lorna Fitzjohn, Ofsted national director of childminding and regional director for the West Midlands, said, 'Childminders will have the option of joining an agency from later this year. We want to make sure that they are inspected in a way that is fair to agencies and which gives assurance to parents.
At the same time that Ofsted has launched the consultation, an amendment has been made to the Children and Families Bill, currently going through Parliament, following concerns about how childminder agencies will guarantee quality of care. The Government admendments will require Ofsted to report on the effectiveness of a childminder agency in measuring the quality of care and education delivered by individuals registered with it.
Liz Bayram, chief executive of the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years (PACEY), said, 'It is good news the Government has now accepted PACEY's view that Ofsted should assess how well a childminder agency ensures the quality of the care and education delivered by any childminder on its books. To have simply relied on Ofsted's assessment of an agency's leadership and management systems and its quality and standards of training and other services to childminders would never have been enough to reassure parents.
'We are still concerned about other aspects of agencies and are convinced a childminder's individual registration and inspection with Ofsted remains the best way to demonstrate quality to parents, but this is progress.
The consultation closes on 21 March 2014.

HARD FAITH™
Hard Faith™ Films is a film production company established for the purpose of bringing compelling stories about the human condition to a film going audience in a way that artistically and speaks truth to this present generation in a fresh and powerful way.
The world needs quality entertainment that speaks truth boldly. We need stories that are set in real-world settings with characters that talk about the ultimate truth. We accomplish this with realistic, real world scenarios and real life characters.
Hollywood has been the masters of compelling storytelling for generations. These filmmakers of dramatic cinema have produced some of the worlds greatest existential films dealing with human existence.
Our desire is to make hard hitting, thought provoking secular films with characters who are portrayed as real life, flawed people who still find hope.
We recently trademarked the term "Hard Faith" in order to express what we feel is missing in filmmaking: a third way
between "faith-based films" which are heavy on God-content made for Christian first audiences and mainstream films which are entertaining but often not bold enough to talk about the significance of God and the important of faith in our lives. We don't want to make either mistake, but instead seek to make films that acknowledge both the realities that God exists and life is hard. Imagine if Johnny Cash was making films in the 21st century and that's what we ant to be doing.
"Hard Faith" plays off a few different meanings. First, the honest reality that faith is often difficult and inconsistent. I have had many struggles with faith and yet I take peace in reading some of the church fathers and who also wrestled with God. I think that this is healthy and there needs to be a space especially in the arts to have this honest admission.Second, faith is hard in such an often contradictory and absurd and dark world full of unspeakable horrors. We need a faith that is strong and resilient to persevere in truly hard and realistic times. Faith is hard, and often after going through a life of suffering we develop a resilient and, yes, Hard Faith that can accept very imperfect lives and people with grace.
WHAT IS HARD FAITH?
Founder, Spencer T Folmar, has written a book on the way of Hard Faith™. You can pre-order your copy today.

Review of new Daily Fresh Blend actions.
One of the things I enjoy most about photography is after a session opening the photos up in Photoshop and starting the creative process of editing, for me its important to get as much right in camera as possible but I view my editing process as putting my personal stamp on my work and giving it that final polish.I admit that when I first started photography I bought way too many actions and many of them sat on my computer never to be used as they just didn't suit my particular style but nowadays Im a lot more selective to the actions that I purchase and only press "buy" when I think they really be a benefit and actually get used!
Onto the reason for my post – Bellevue Avenue have released today a brand new set of actions called Daily Fresh Blend and I was delighted to be given the opportunity to be a tester for the set. I admit to being very excited to receive the actions as Ive purchased some of their previous sets and always been extremely happy with them. This set is amazing and I dont use that word lightly, they are so versatile, so many options that I could honestly play for days and not get bored, they will suit so many different styles as there is matte, hazy and clean options, I also tend to shoot a lot of macros/nature and sometimes find that some action sets I have purchased suit these but not portraiture and the other way round but again Daily Fresh Blend I can use on everything I shoot – these are going to be used now all the time.
On Bellevue Avenues website you can find videos and tutorials to help you get the most out of this set and on their Facebook page you will find other tester examples – also if you purchase them today (12/06/14) you can get them for half price, which is a fantastic bargain.


I hope the loss is not irreparable !!!
This is a real scream..in form and word..and yet it is one that seems in control..motivated..justly directed..hope this is so..

I liked this. It's refreshing to read questions.

George Hepplewhite (1727 – 1786) was an English cabinetmaker. He is regarded as having been one of the "big three" of English furniture makers of the 18th century, along with Thomas Sheraton and Thomas Chippendale. There are no pieces of furniture made by Hepplewhite or his firm known to exist but he gave his name to a distinctive style of light, elegant furniture that was fashionable between about 1775 and 1800 and reproductions of his designs continued through the following centuries. He was a prolific maker and turned his hand to beds, chairs and cabinet furniture. One characteristic that is seen in many of his designs is a shield-shaped chair back, where an expansive shield appeared in place of a narrower splat design.


The Finnish and Estonian music industries' have joined forces to increase the export capabilities of musical talent and music companies to Japanese market under a joint endeavor Finest Sounds. The objective is to bring more high quality Finnish and Estonian music to the second biggest music market in the world, incorporating the other fields of culture and business operations in the mix – from visual arts and design to technological deeds.
Japan has been strong market area for Finnish music since Hanoi Rocks' sold out concerts in the 1980s to the success of metal bands like Children of Bodom, Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius and recent deal of folk duo Kardemimmit with Japan's largest department store. Estonian indie labels Seksound and Õunaviks have developed tight distributional and licensing ties in Japan during the last ten years, and Estonian choral singing has had its own accomplishments there.
A joint collaboration between organizations like Music Finland, Music Estonia, Tallinn Music Week and Music & Media Finland in cooperation with partner universities HUMAK, TAMK and Tallinn University BFM will shape these endeavours into a stronger strategic effort of joined forces for the two Nordic countries. Aside the music sector, successful export stories from the Moomins to design, cosmetics, food, technology and timber produce, indicate the Japanese market's latent interest in Fenno-Nordic brands and culture. The FinEst collaboration will attempt to create a music driven collaboration platform to all.
"I am really excited about the FinEst project and believe that it can offer a lot of value and possibilities to Estonian and Finnish music companies and artists. The concept of collaboration with both brands and students is unique and innovative. On the business side we have the best possible teams and platforms from both Estonia and Finland, and the universities and students bring in additional resources and new out-of-the-box ideas as well as deeper understanding of the Japanese market to the companies and artists involved. Music Estonia and Music Finland are now starting to recruit potential companies to the project and this month we are meeting top level Japanese music business people about their possible involvement in the FinEst Sounds project", says the project's music business expert and coordinator Tapio Korjus from Rockadillo Records.
Over the course of 3 years (2016 - 2019), the project brings together 45 Finnish and Estonian music companies and artists, plus 20 companies from other sectors, providing them training, matchmaking, networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities.


We welcome couples, families, and groups of friends. We cater for all special occasions including weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and hen parties. We will do our utmost to ensure it's a night to remember. Bear in mind we will hold our special Greek nights which are always good fun and include belly dancing! We can provide traditional Greek costume to make it more fun if you wish. We will also be offering a selection of Greek wines and a good choice of spirits, liqueurs and coffees.

VIOLENT AND SEXUAL OFFENDERS STRIPPED OF AUSTRALIAN VISAS
More than 800 non-citizen criminals were stripped of their visas for serious crimes in 2018.
One hundred had their visas cancelled for committing child sex offences or for involvement in child exploitation and pornography, 53 were stripped of their visas for domestic violence as were 34 rapists or other sexual offenders
About 500 criminals who committed violent offences are among those stripped of their visas, including 13 for murder, seven for manslaughter, 125 for assault and 56 for armed robbery.
Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton said the Government is committed to protecting our communities and keeping Australians safe.
"There's no place in our country for people who come here and harm Australians," Mr Dutton said
"We welcome people from all round the world, but those few who think they can live in Australia and be involved in criminal actions need to know they won't be staying long."
Under the previous Labor Government, in the five years between 2009 and 2013, just 582 visas were cancelled under the character provisions in s 501 of Migration Act 1958.
Since 2014, the Coalition has cancelled a total of 4150 visas – more than seven times that of Labor.
Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs David Coleman said the Government was sending a strong message to non-citizen law breakers.
"Over the past five years, the Government has stripped 4150 non-citizens of their visas after committing serious and abhorrent crimes such as child sex offences, domestic violence assaults and murder," Mr Coleman said.
"Foreign nationals who think they can flout our laws and harm Australian citizens should expect to have their visa cancelled.
"It is a privilege to enter and remain in Australia and we have no tolerance for those who put Australians in danger."
To keep Australians safe, the Government has significantly strengthened the character provisions in the Migration Act, introducing mandatory cancellation provisions in December 2014. These changes provide that a non-citizen's visa must be cancelled if they are sentenced to 12 months or more imprisonment or have been convicted of a sexual crime against a child.
More recently, the Government introduced into Parliament the Migration Amendment (Strengthening the Character Test) Bill 2018 to introduce a list of designated offences into s 501, providing clear and objective grounds for the consideration of visa refusal or cancellation.
Designated offences include offences involving violence, sexual assault, domestic abuse and the use or possession of weapons , whereby the offence carries a two year or more maximum jail sentence.
The Migration Amendment (Strengthening the Character Test) Bill 2018 is expected to be debated in the first sitting period of 2019.

Trial day 11: Dancers defend Filin
Dancers & teachers demand to rebut Tsiskaridze
Trial day 10: Dmitrichenko, Tsiskaridze, Vorontsova testify
27 NOV 13 While Monday's court session was dominated in the press by the Tsiskaridze circus, the appearance of the former company manager Ruslan Pronin was barely noted. However, he gave a penetrating inside view into the reason for the hostility between the stricken artistic director Sergei Filin and the dancer accused of organising the acid attack on him, Pavel Dmitrichenko.
Pronin said Dmitrichenko was the one man who could say anything he liked to Filin and get away with it, because on his side he had the Bolshoi Ballet's longtime Soviet-era chief Yuri Grigorovich (still active in the theatre aged 86).
As a result, Dmitrichenko had built up a degree of invulnerability, and was a natural choice to represent the mass of lowest-paid dancers fearful of speaking out.
His appearance as a substitute in the December grants commission had caused the normally docile grants commission to vote against Filin's proposals for how to distribute the quarterly performance bonuses. The meeting, usually 2 hours long, had gone on for 10. Filin had been so angry, reported Pronin, that in January (before the attack) that he had drafted new rules for the commission to stop Dmitrichenko appearing again.
Pronin was on the commission at the time - he was once Filin's close friend, but he was dismissed last spring by the then general director Anatoly Iksanov after he took Dmitrichenko's side after the acid attack. (He then became Dmitrichenko's stand-in as head of the dancers' union during the trial.)
Faultline in Bolshoi workings
In Pronin's revealing comments, the core of the discipline/authority problems of the Bolshoi is laid bare. Evidently, there was no chance of a Grigorovich favourite suffering for insubordination to a current artistic director, hence Dmitrichenko's open refusal to recognise Filin's authority, on which Filin testified earlier in the trial. The dancer himself said in his testimony last week that he acknowledged only his teacher and Grigorovich, but it is Pronin who has clarified what that meant.
Disrespect was also a major factor in previous artistic director Alexei Ratmansky's frustration during his five years' tenure, which appeared splendidly successful to the outside world, but which were bedevilled by an insubordinate Nikolai Tsiskaridze, who was also a Grigorovich protegé.
While a court is no place to solve this faultline in the Bolshoi Ballet's workings, Pronin's statement suggests answers to why certain things happened, going back over many years. There have been similar complaints by Mariinsky dancers about this extraordinarily partial and unfair way of paying them, which dates back to Soviet times, and keeps large numbers of unused, unhappy dancers on pittances, to be picked out for paying opportunities as per personal preference.
Here is a translation of the report of Pronin's evidence on Monday in Izvestia.
'Allocating the money was difficult'
Izvestia, 26 November, 2013 , 00:01 by Olga Zavyalova
Ruslan Pronin gave evidence at Meshchansky Court [in the trial of three men for the attack on Bolshoi ballet artistic director Sergei Filin]. Called as a witness for the defence, he told the court details of the distribution of grants between dancers in the Bolshoi Ballet.
The grants commission decides the size of bonuses. The members include artistic director Sergei Filin, the company manager, three representatives from teachers and coaches, a dancers' representative and two from the technical staff.
Ruslan Pronin, who was company manager until 1 July and also a member of the commission, emphasised that its job was to assess the size of rewards for each performer individually, which, he said, was quite difficult. He said Dmitrichenko sat on the commission just once as dance troupe representative in December 2012. On this occasion, he was able to eliminate a number of violations with his suggestions and objections.
"It is not easy to distribute the money, especially when big money is coming into the theatre. The commission's work is not based on specific criteria, there are always issues over which they argue. From Pavel's point of view, there were unfair elements in the allocation, and I agreed with him. For instance, artists who were transferred from the Stanislavsky company and had worked about 2 or 3 days were put down for quarterly bonuses, higher than the bonuses of performers who had been longtime employed in the Bolshoi Theatre. Thanks to Pavel, this money was taken back from them and it seemed to me that justice was restored."
The witness also said that other members of the commission were "fainthearted" in previous meetings and had not resolved to contradict the artistic director to point out injustice from this or that decision. But Pavel Dmitrichenko "was always a kind of mouthpiece for the dancers to the management".
Could speak openly
"The collective exploited this to some extent, knowing that Pavel would escape pressure from the artistic director as he had the favour and support of Yuri Grigorovich, and so could afford to say things openly," said the witness.
According to Pronin, the grants commission that Dmitrichenko attended lasted a surprisingly long time: about 10 hours instead of the usual 3 to 4. During it, Pronin commented that Dmitrichenko's proposals found support from other commission members and they took a fairly uncomfortable view of Sergei Filin. Filin several times left the meeting in apparent indignation, but returned at Pronin's request.
Moreover, Pronin said, that in January - before the attack - Sergei Filin signed an order to alter the composition of the grants commission. In particular, one of the requirements was to exclude Dmitrichenko from the board. The reason for this, thought Pronin, was Dmitrichenko's performance in the December meeting, and the resulting redistribution of moneys between the dancers.

President Donald Trump Donald John TrumpGrassroots America shows the people support Donald Trump Trump speaks to rebel Libyan general attacking Tripoli Dem lawmaker: Mueller report shows 'substantial body of evidence' on obstruction MORE's selection of Puzder was a direct slap in the face to workers. Originally, Trump made protecting American workers a central theme of his campaign and the plan for his first 100 days in office. Instead of keeping this promise to workers, Trump nominated Puzder, who was the kind of candidate that makes the U.S. Chamber of Commerce feel "optimistic." Puzder was a nominee with financial ties incentivizing him to give preferential treatment to large corporations like his own rather than to defend and protect workers.
But working people saw through his empty promise and called out Puzder's abysmal track record on labor issues for what it was. Although Puzder had claimed he would "fiercely" defend workers if confirmed as the head of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), he had been quite outspoken about his thoughts on workers prior to his nomination. He notoriously stated that he prefers automated robots to human employees. Puzder also had earned a reputation as an opponent of many basic worker protections like meaningful minimum wage increases and overtime pay.

Many manufacturers who source and produce their dog foods in the U.S. proudly say so right on the foods' labels—and encourage retailers to point out the claims to their customers. Creating a display around the "USA" theme is one way to highlight such foods, said Bryan Nieman, brand director for Fromm Family Foods in Mequon, Wis.
Such merchandising works well at Natural Pet Food & Supplies in Temecula, Calif. A large display of dog food immediately captures customers' attention when they walk in the front door. The big endcap is home to the latest and greatest dog food products, and it frequently highlights dog foods made and sourced in the U.S., said Annette Merrifield, assistant manager.

'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Disappoints As Reviews Flood In
by TheMac | Feb 14, 2015 | Movies & Series
Tags: Fifty Shades of Grey
Reviews for the hotly anticipated "Fifty Shades of Grey" are in, and the flick is turning out to be a huge miss! Often referred to as "Twilight fan fiction", the movie based on E.L. James' trilogy of kinky novels leaves much to be desired if the opinion of critics are anything to go by. The books dubbed by some news agencies as "Mommy Porn", sold over 70 million copies worldwide. After all the fuss and drama we expected nothing less, and it seems that the overall approach to deliver the storyline instead of the leading actors sunk the movie as far as review aggregators are concerned. Jamie Dornan stars as the wealthy young entrepreneur Christian Grey, and Dakota Johnson as the love interest, Anastasia Steele. Rottentomatoes dished out a "Rotten" score of 27% based on 162 reviews so far, the critics consensus reads:
"While creatively better endowed than its print counterpart, Fifty Shades of Grey is a less than satisfying experience on the screen."
Check out the first trailer for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' trailer
Synopsis for "Fifty Shades of Grey":
"Fifty Shades of Grey is the hotly anticipated film adaptation of the bestselling book that has become a global phenomenon. Since its release, the "Fifty Shades" trilogy has been translated into 51 languages worldwide and sold more than 100 million copies in e-book and print—making it one of the biggest and fastest-selling book series ever. Stepping into the roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, who have become iconic to millions of readers, are Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson. Joining Dornan and Johnson in the cast are Luke Grimes as Elliot, Christian's brother; Victor Rasuk as José, Anastasia's close friend; Eloise Mumford as Kate, Anastasia's best friend and roommate; Marcia Gay Harden as Dr. Grace Trevelyan Grey, Christian's mother; Rita Ora as Mia, Christian's sister; Max Martini as Taylor, Christian's bodyguard; Callum Keith Rennie as Ray, Anastasia's stepfather; Jennifer Ehle as Carla, Anastasia's mother; and Dylan Neal as Bob, Carla's husband. Fifty Shades of Grey is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and produced by Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti alongside E L James, the creator of the series. The screenplay for the film is by Kelly Marcel."

Check out some additional 'Fifty Shades of Grey' reviews for good measure:
Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter:
"It's a slow build to the smutty bits, and one that's disappointingly devoid of tension. Even so, the movie is, by definition, a stronger proposition than the book because it strips away the oodles of cringe-inducing descriptions and internal monologue that tip the text heavily toward self-parody."
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times:
"Though it has its charms, including pleasing and well-matched actors Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan as the star-crossed couple, these pleasures have little to do with the bondage-themed sexual encounters that enabled E.L. James' badly written, unapologetically graphic trilogy of novels to sell a whopping 100 million copies in 52 languages worldwide."
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly:
"The movie Fifty Shades of Grey is considerably better written than the book. It is also sort of classy-looking, in a generic, TV-ad-for-bath-oil way. Dakota Johnson, who plays the virgin English-literature major Anastasia Steele, and Jamie Dornan, who plays Christian Grey, the wildly rich and sexually … particular business titan who wants Miss Steele in his playroom, are exceedingly attractive actors with enviably supple bodies well suited to nakedness. And really, under the circumstances, movable parts matter more than acting skills."
A.O. Scott, New York Times:
"It dabbles in romantic comedy and splashes around in melodrama, but the one thing it can't be — the thing the novel so trashily and triumphantly is — is pornography."
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune:
"Going in, I expected either a camp hoot or a complete, slavishly faithful Submissive of a film, playing opposite the Dominant novel. Instead, 'Fifty Shades' turns out to be roughly as pretty good as the first 'Twilight' appropriate, since James wrote 'Fifty Shades' as sexed-up, loinzapoppin' fan fiction paying tribute to the 'Twilight' bestsellers."
Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair:
"Fifty Shades of Grey is not the lame, hot-and-bothered fantasy romance many, including myself, thought it would be. It's got wit and humor and a modest intelligence about human behavior that, say, the Twilight movies never had."
Alynda Wheat, People:
"What the film gets spot-on is the essence of E.L. James's wildly successful stab at Twilight fan fiction: the frisson of excitement when naïve college senior Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) embarks on an affair with wealthy CEO Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). It's too bad the movie also imports James's atrociously written prose and bizarre sexual politics, but then, no one buys a Fifty Shades ticket for the dialogue."
Justin Chang, Variety:
"If the problem with too many literary adaptations is a failure to capture the author's voice, then that shortcoming turns out to be the single greatest virtue of Fifty Shades of Grey. … Director Sam Taylor-Johnson and screenwriter Kelly Marcel have brought out a welcome element of cheeky, knowing humor that gradually recedes as the action plunges into darker, kinkier territory."

> The Journals of Lewis and Clark
Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, Anthony Brandt
At the dawn of the 19th century, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark embarked on an unprecedented journey from St. Louis, Missouri to the Pacific Ocean and back again. Their assignment was to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and record the geography, flora, fauna, and people they encountered along the way. The tale of their incredible journey, meticulously recorded in their journals, has become an American classic.
This single-volume, landmark edition of the famous journals is the first abridgement to be published in at least a decade. Series editor Anthony Brandt and Lewis and Clark scholar Herman J. Viola have reviewed all 13 volumes of the text to include a more balanced account of encounters with Native Americans and have, for the first time in print, corrected Lewis and Clark's famously bad spelling. This new edition presents the journey's impressive highlights—from first encounters with grizzly bears and meetings with the Sioux and Crow Indians, to the near starvation in the Bitterroot Mountains and confrontation with the Blackfeet Indians. Brief connecting accounts from the editors seamlessly link connected passages and illuminate details of the expedition that are missing or obscure in the text.
Featuring an expedition map, an introduction by Anthony Brandt that describes America at the start of Lewis and Clark's amazing journey, and an afterword by Herman Viola that illuminates the historical significance of the mission, this single-volume edition brings to life the epic grandeur of the greatest adventure in American history.

Mammoth Hot Springs
The Mammoth Hot Springs is a huge complex of hot springs perched atop an impressive hill of limestone terraces located in the area of Yellowstone National Park in Park County, Wyoming, United States. Its hot water originates from the Norris Geyser Basin which runs parallel to the Norris to Mammoth road and most flows from the underground. Areas of lower elevations in Yellowstone Park where the Mammoth Hot Springs is located is generally warm during the entire year. Thunderstorms often come during most summer afternoons when temperatures are typically in the 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit while during winter temperatures can fall between zero to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Snow can be expected at anytime during the year with ever changing levels of precipitation.
Visiting Mammoth Hot Springs

About 3 million people visit the Mammoth Hot Springs every year. The closest airport servicing Yellowstone is West Yellowstone, MT located just 1 mile north of West Yellowstone town. It is open only seasonally, from June to the first two weeks of September. Other airports nearby are Cody and Jackson, WY, Idaho Falls, ID and Bozeman and Billings, MT. Available all year round is Bozeman, MT's bus service which travels via Highway 91. In the summer months, bus service is available directly from Idaho as well as Cody and Jackson. The closest train station is located in three locations namely southeast Idaho, northern Montana and Salt Lake City, Utah. Visitors planning to visit the Mammoth Hot Springs by car are advised to carefully consider several factors including road statuses, road construction and delays and of course, the ever changing weather of the area.
Apart from the spectacular scenery that the Mammoth Hot Springs terraces offer, the Yellowstone Park where it is located in has a lot of fun and entertaining activities and facilities to offer. Backcountry hiking and camping, boating, bicycling, day hiking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing, fishing, camping and llama packing are just some of the examples. The Albright Visitor Center is a good place to start when visiting the Mammoth Hot Springs. Guests can obtain information about nearby attractions that they can visit, permits for hiking as well as learn about Yellowstone's vibrant and unique cultural heritage there.

Mammoth Hot Springs is home to many of this world's most primitive bacterial organisms including the Thermus aquaticus. These bacteria are currently being used by scientists who are looking for cures for several kinds of diseases that plague the humankind. Numerous species of arthropods and flies also thrive where these bacteria can be found, which get their sustenance from molecular hydrogen found in the water. Other animals living in Mammoth are elks, grizzlies, wolves, bison, bighorn sheep, cranes, ducks and other birds.

Initially, researchers thought that the springs in Mammoth Hot Springs were slowly drying up. However, more recent information has shown that water discharge and overall spring activity has not changed over the last couple of decades. Swimming in Mammoth Hot Springs is not allowed due to the fragile condition of the travertine terraces.
Boiling River near the Mammoth Hot Springs allows visitors to enjoy a swim in the warm waters.
Those who wish to swim may do so by visiting the nearby Boiling River, which is north of Mammoth and open to swimmers during daytime. A potential danger while visiting Mammoth Hot Springs is the widespread presence of grizzlies, bison, and other potentially dangerous nearby. Visitors who frequent geothermal attractions are also warned about the serious burns, along with falls and crashes, that can result from irresponsibly swimming and exploring the hot springs.
