Forest stewardship is a commitment to your land for the present and in the future. True stewards apply the ideas of conservation in managing all of the resources of the forest.
Does Your Community Have Tree Problems?
Does your town have any of these common tree problems? What can a community do?
In recent years, a very good market has developed in North Carolina for roping and wreaths made from freshly cut branch tips from eastern white pine. The scent and appearance of fresh evergreens is popular during the Christmas season. Wreaths and roping made from white pine tips are shipped all along the east coast and as far west as Chicago and St. Louis.
Real income potential is possible on many longleaf forests found in eastern and southeastern North Carolina. This Forestry Leaflet explains the typical manner in which longleaf pinestraw is harvested.
Hiring a tree care specialist deserves all the consideration and caution that goes into selecting a banker or home builder. The right choice can assure health, beauty and longer life for your trees.
It is ironic that roads designed to help people enjoy the Appalachians often destroy the beautiful scenery and clear water that make the mountains so attractive. Poorly constructed access roads often cause severe erosion, and stream sedimentation. These effects can degrade water quality for decades. Erosion can be disastrous in fragile mountain environments, and the landowner must pay for frequent and costly repair of a poorly designed road.
Pruning is the removal of branches, living or dead, from woody plants. The first rule of pruning is do no cutting without a reason. Improper pruning can cause damage that will last the lifetime of the tree — or even shorten the lifespan of the tree.
This publication contains a list of recommended street trees for North Carolina. Special attention has been given to species with the ability to handle air pollution and heat stress involved with urban environments.
A tree's requirements to thrive, its form or shape, its size at maturity, and its function in your landscape help determine the best tree to plant.
Topping is severely cutting limbs larger than 3" in diameter to stubs within the tree's crown so as to remove the normal canopy and disfigure the tree.
Applying herbicides in a controlled manner can be an effective and low-cost treatment to eliminate or control unwanted vegetation.

Coke Bottling Company Brings Jobs to Searcy
written by Kendall Carwile October 12, 2017
Photo by Macy Pate
Corinth Coca-Cola Bottling Works Inc. has expanded to Searcy, adding 60 jobs to the market. This is the third expansion for Corinth Coca-Cola and increases their territory by 40 percent. Searcy has seen substantial growth in local business in the past few years, Burrito Day and Wild Sweet Williams Bakery.
With the expansion of Corinth Coca-Cola comes a different kind of growth for the Searcy community.
"The benefit of having companies franchise to Searcy is twofold," junior Coleman Branum said. "It helps create jobs and brings business talent to the town, which in turn creates more demand for local businesses, creating a larger market for the franchises to thrive in. The second aspect is the level of community involvement that the franchises could bring, which is something the Corinth Coca-Cola had done in the past through sponsoring local events."
Corinth Coca-Cola has already been investing in the Searcy community. On July 8 the company held a job fair to fill delivery driver jobs. According to Dennis Seid, business editor for the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, the expansion to Searcy will increase the number of Corinth Coca-Cola employees by 15 percent.
"This will lead to an influx of jobs in the service industry and low-skilled labor," Branum said. "The impact on the job market will not be substantial, but could help boost the labor economy."
According to the Searcy Regional Chamber of Commerce, there is even more growth coming to Searcy, with the opening of many new companies such as: Habitat Land Co., Sunny Day Inflatables, Speaking Out Loud Inc. and Premiere Flooring Design.
There has also been an increase in consumer demand in Searcy, and companies have seen that demand and are working to fill it.
"I think that there is room for growth in Searcy," Branum said. "There is plenty of demand for low-skilled labor as well as a growing consumer demand."

Q: IIS web.config rewrite if no default document exists I have a web.config for IIS that partially works to rewrite requests to another local wwwroot folder if there are no defined pages (i.e. index.php).
So a url like: www.blah.net/something/index.php displays a page correct.
however, www.blah.net/something/ rewrites to another URL and ignores the index.php in that directory.
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<defaultDocument enabled="true" />

<rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="RewriteAll" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url="(.*)" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="_h5ai/public/index.php" appendQueryString="true" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
</rewrite>

        <caching enabled="false" enableKernelCache="true" />
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

A: I think you need to tell IIS what your default document is.  Replace the line
<defaultDocument enabled="true" />

with
<defaultDocument>
  <files>
    <clear />
    <add value="index.php" />
    <add value="index.htm" />
    <add value="default.php" />
    <add value="default.htm" />
  </files>
</defaultDocument>

IIS will check for all the filenames listed in the default document section in the order they are listed, you can have as many as you want.  The <clear /> line tells IIS to ignore the standard server settings.  (If you don't specify any default files it will look for 'Default.htm', 'Default.aspx' and 'Default.asp' I think.)

A: Rather simple, just add a condition to check if the file exists.
<conditions>
<add input="{Document_Root}/{REQUEST_URI}/index.php" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
</conditions>

Besides, verify the result after clearing the local browser cache, or in an incognito window of the browser.
Feel free to let me know if the problem persists.

German police officers chase Tesla on autopilot, driver literally asleep
German police officers chased a Tesla car on autopilot before finding out that its driver was asleep.
Officers of the Bavarian State Police (BSP) spotted the said Tesla driving along Autobahn 70 on Dec. 29. The vehicle was headed eastward to the town of Bayreuth from Bamberg, both located in Germany's Bavaria state. It was driving at a speed of about 70 miles per hour (mph), lower than the motorway's recommended maximum speed limit of 80 mph.
Police attempted to stop the Tesla, but the vehicle refused to pull over. Instead, the car traveled at a constant speed and "kept the same distance from the patrol car in front." When BSP officers pulled up next to the Tesla driver's side window, they saw the driver – identified as a 45-year-old male – with his eyes closed and his seat reclined.
"This strengthened the suspicion that he had left the controls to autopilot and had fallen asleep," the BSP said in a statement. Further investigation by law enforcement found that the driver had placed a "so-called steering wheel weight in the footwell" of the vehicle's driver's side. According to the police's statement, the device "is attached to the steering wheel to trick the vehicle's safety system by pretending that your hand is on the wheel."
Fifteen minutes into the chase, the male driver woke up and followed police instructions to pull over. Officers determined that the driver was under the influence of drugs at that time.
According to the New York Post, the BSP then filed a complaint with the public prosecutor's office in Bamberg against the driver, accusing him of endangering road traffic. As a result, the man's license was suspended and confiscated pending a formal court hearing.
Tesla car on autopilot almost killed its driver back in 2019
While the incident in Germany did not cause any injuries or damage to property, an earlier incident in the state of New Jersey involving the autopilot function on a Tesla vehicle almost killed its driver.
According to a February 2019 report by CBS News, the 32-year-old male driver of the Tesla Model X involved in the accident was traveling in the right lane of Route 1 North in New Brunswick. However, he said the vehicle's autopilot sensor mistook a set of road markings for a new lane. The car then went onto the grass on the left side of the Adams Lane exit ramp – traveling across the road, jumping the curb and hitting signs – before stopping in the grass.
The Tesla's side-view mirror broke off during the accident, which also knocked several traffic signs to the ground. (Related: TESLA TERMINATOR: Tesla car autopilot veers off highway, crashes into road signs as driver locked out of all controls.)
"He wanted to stay on Route 1 North. He said at that point, he believes the vehicle got confused," Capt. Brian Hoiberg of the North Brunswick Police Department said at the time. "The driver was shaken up. He was panicked by the accident; just the feeling of not having any control."
According to the driver, the steering wheel locked on him even though his hands were on it the whole time.
Tesla defended itself following the New Jersey accident, claiming that it is not aware of a single instance where the autopilot refused to disengage since launching it in 2015. A driver can easily override autopilot by lightly touching the steering wheel or brakes, the company added.

A stolen 400-year-old Bible returns to the US after being missing for decades
By Lauren M. Johnson, CNN
Updated 6:28 PM ET, Fri April 26, 2019
The FBI Pittsburgh office recovered a Bible stolen from the Carnegie Library in the 1990s.
(CNN) A 400-year-old Bible -- one of 321 rare items stolen from the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh in the 1990s -- has been returned after a transoceanic journey.
"This Bible is more than a piece of evidence in a case. It is a priceless artifact of religious significance to people of many faiths," said Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala at a news conference Thursday.
The rare Geneva Bible was discovered in the Netherlands in the possession of Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs, the director of the Leiden American Pilgrim Museum, who had acquired the book for the museum. Bangs told CNN he bought the 1615 book from what he thought was a "reputable dealer in antiquarian books."
The Leiden American Pilgrim Museum provided a closer look at the rare Bible.
For the last several years, Bangs has been collecting books that are listed as belonging to people who lived in the colony of Plymouth from 1620 to 1691. His intention was to have the collection displayed in an exhibition celebrating the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower.
Last year, Bangs said he was contacted by Pittsburgh's district attorney informing him that the book may be a stolen artifact.
After several months of back and forth to prove the request for the book's return was legitimate, Bangs contacted his local law enforcement -- and an expert in stolen art returned the book to the American embassy in The Hague.
"The more of these items that we can return to the Carnegie Library, the more we can patch the wound that was inflicted upon our community by the theft of these items," Zappala said.

Driver flown by CareFlight after accident in Greenville
By Jim Comer - For The Daily Advocate
A driver was flown by CareFlight Sunday morning after a head-on collision in Greenville.
Jim Comer | For The Daily Advocate
GREENVILLE – A driver was flown by CareFlight Sunday morning after being critically injured in an accident.
At approximately 9 a.m. Sunday, emergency personnel from Greenville City Fire Department, Greenville Township Rescue and CareFlight as well as officers from the Greenville City Police Department were dispatched to the intersection of Sherman Street and Fort Jefferson Avenue in reference to an injury accident with one patient unconscious.
Arriving units found that a green Toyota Tacoma was traveling westbound on Sherman Street when it failed to yield to oncoming traffic, pulling into the pathway of a silver Honda Pilot that was traveling northbound on Fort Jefferson Avenue, causing a head-on collision.
The male driver, and sole occupant of the Toyota, was treated on the scene by Greenville Township Rescue and transported to the landing zone located at the Darke County Sheriff's Office to meet CareFlight before being flown to Miami Valley Hospital for his injuries. His condition is unknown at this time.
The female driver of the Honda was uninjured in the accident and refused treatment by EMS.
The accident remains under investigation by the Greenville City Police Department.

Sierra Space hires Northrop program director to lead space transportation unit


Senator Godswill Akpabio yesterday took the Archbishop of the Methodist Church, Ikot Ekpene, His Grace, Most Rev. Sunday Uko, to the cleaners for stopping his wife, Unoma, from making political comments during church service. Unoma Akpabio spoke at the Methodist Church, Ukana in Essien Udim Local Government Area during a service marking the presentation of the immediate past Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government, Sir Etekamba Umoren, as lay president of the church. She asked the congregation to vote for all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), specifically President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC governorship candidate in the state, Obong (Dr.) Nsima Ekere in 2019. But the Archbishop of Ikot Ekpene, His Grace, Most Rev. Sunday Uko, who presided over the church service, got up from where he was sitting and approached Senator Akpabio to express his displeasure over his wife's political comments.
The clergy scolded Akpabio's wife for using the church service to do political campaign and made attempts to seize the microphone from her. A visibly angry Akpabio, who got hold of the microphone after his wife apologised to the clergy for her action, scolded the Archbishop for embarrassing his wife. He said it was wrong for the Archbishop to stop the wife from talking politics in church, saying that the reason why the clergy embarrassed his wife was because he was supporting Governor Udom Emmanuel. "You can't embarrass my wife for talking politics in church because of your support for Governor Udom Emmanuel. I brought Udom and made him governor so nobody can claim to love the son more than the father.


A Murillo Gladiator. IMHO a Gladiator is a gambler in many aspects. For one, you are gambling with your life the moment you enter the arena, for essentially you are dead and are fighting to get your life back. You are also taking a gamble, based on your class of Gladiator and the class you are facing, for some of those might leave you at a huge disadvantage. And I think this hold especially true for the auctorati, free (wo)men who chose to give up their freedom to live as Gladiators. Sure you were well cared for outside of the fights you had to perform, but was it worth risking your life?
And in a way, this mini was a personal gamble for me. A few years back I asked Curt "what will the theme be for the next installment?" Reason being simple… the last show I attended that year was a couple of weeks before the start of the Challenge and I wanted to go shopping there. So Curt said, "probably Gladiators, but I cannot guarantee." In the end it turned out not be Gladiators, but I had bought this fine Murillo from Warlord Games. And I thought that after 2-3 year of spending his life on the lead mountain, he finally deserved his moment of glory in the Challenge. So here he is.
Paintjobwise, he is quite simple,but what was to be expected with a mini that is mostly skin and loincloth. I chose to do the manica and ocrea in steel rather than a bronze colour. I wanted him to be an old Centurio who had to leave the Legions at the end of his tour of duty, but who had whored and drunk up all his money and had chosen to become an auctorati. So he was making use of some of the equipment he had to buy for his army job, which would most likely be less ornamental and more functional.
As some will have noticed, the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge for this year has begun. Right now I am trying to work my way through the theme round entries first since I a) do not want them to interrupt my normal painting when they come up every two weeks like they did last year and b) since I will be away over the holidays and not be doing any painting during that time, but I do not want to miss a round. But now on to the first theme round.
When I read over the topics for the theme rounds, there were some that gave me headaches and some that did not. "Cold" was one of the later. Lots of ideas flashed through my head from a snowman, to tanks in winter camouflage. In the end I settled for an image that I had always liked… the beginning scenes from the movie Gladiator. Anyone who has ever had the pleasure to watch it with me and listen to my mutterings of "Stirups were not even invented back then!" will know that it is not for the historical accuracy of the movie (or the lack of it), but all the mud and snow depicting warfare in wintery Germany. So Tribune Maximus seemed like the natural selection here. And a selection I started to curse virtually instantly. My first pick was the Warlord Games offering. But the mounted version did not look exactly like Maximus and I felt would better serve on a regular cavalry base. The version on foot looked like Maximus, but did not exactly look impressive. So I turned to the 1st Corps version, which I had already bought when Warlord released theirs. I felt he would look a bit alone on his own, so I decided to add the Marcus Aurelius Miniature from Warlord to the base (even though the two were never depicted side by side on horseback in the movie). So far so good. There were a few more problems I had to face. For example the 1st Corps minis face does not look too much like Russel Crowe and the Warlord Emperor is slightly smaller. The size difference was solved with a piece of card under the emperors horse.
All that being said, I am quite happy with the end result (except for the varnish still being a bit glossy). What I personally really like about the combination of the two minis here is, that they contrast each other rather nicely. The Emperor looks frail and old and even his horse looked worn out. And the Tribune next to him all young and powerful, ready for battle with his horse shaking his head, wanting to charge.
And this is it for now already. Up next is the second theme round entry "Mount(s) and Rider(s)" which will take us back to Napoleonics. But since the theme round only gets its official outing on the 28th, this will probably be my last post before Christmas! Hope you are all having a good and festive time until then!
There were lots of Ballistae of different sizes on display. There is one thing I want to mention regarding this one very fine example. I was standing by when one of the re-enactors was explaining a good deal about this weapon and their own research to some visitors. When he was done one of the visitors said that they were tabletop wargamers and while this was bleeping great to see it live they did not care too much about the background and much less about the actual firing of this weapon. Not sure if you should happen to read this blog, but if you are… Next time please show some respect!!! This man was as serious and passionate about his hobby (which is not too far from yours) as you are about yours (hopefully) and he sure deserved better than for someone to tell him he did not care, because you were just after a peepshow! Imagine how he would have felt with the roles reversed!
There were parades on of the main walk in the park at various times during the day, which was a good chance to see all the "Centuries" and their uniforms!
I assume this broken torsion arm was from an earlier use of the stone thrower, for on Saturday everything went just fine!
Since it is not completely unlikely, that we also play some games of SAGA at my place, I decided to do some terrain for it was well. Now I bought these resin pieces a couple of years ago from Warlord Games from my ancient Celts, but I think these would be just as suitable for the dark ages. I just checked and these are no longer available. A bit of a shame. While they were not the best pieces, they were dead cheap and offered good value for money. The minis shown for scale are Celtic women from Warlord Games, painted by my better half.
So this is the village as a whole. Two small round huts (I left the roofs off these so they can be stacked inside one another), a grain storage, a large roundhouse, a longhouse and some odds and ends. I think they cost less than 40 GBP, which I feel was a good price.
The longhouse was the first piece to require some extra effort. The wooden supports for the roof above the entrance and the handrails were missing on the original model. I felt the roof needed these supports so I build them from real wood. Otherwise it was a bit of a pain in the behind mating the roof with the rest since it would either just sit at an angle or there would be huge gaps. In the end it worked out with a minor angle.
This one came in three parts… the building itself, the main roof and the small roof above the entrance. These pieces came sanded, but the had sanded off so much that there was a very visible gap between the two roofs. So I sculped some new roofing using Milliput Grey. Worked out fine in my humble opinion.
Not much to say about these. Just some air bubbles to fill and these were good to be painted.
The grain storage. Again not the best of fits, but it worked out. My better half gave me the idea yesterday, that I should add some bushels of straw to the inside. So before the first game with them, I shall glue some pigs hair inside.
These are the odds and ends. I think they were not part of the original offer, but Warlord tossed them in for free, but I might be mistaken. Anyway, they are a nice selection. There are clay pots of all shapes and sizes, a small beehive, fireplace, a stone oven, three clay ovens and a millstone. I have decided not to glue them onto the base of the longhouse or even base them at all. Most of them could be useful up to more modern times, so I do not want to restrict myself there.
I will have to add some more Viking-like buildings in due time and some wattle fancing. I will probably buy some of the later from Renedra at Crisis (Antwerp) in the winter, but for now this will have to do.

Dolomite Mountains, Tyrolia and Innsbruck, Austria
Day 6 of a 13-day run through Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Austria. All of these photos were taken on May 28, 2011. Except for the photos of downtown Innsbruck and Cortina (Italy) plus several lakeside photos at Misurina, all of the other pics were taken through the bus windshield or a side window while in motion. On the night of May 27 we slept in the southern Austrian lowlands village of Villach where it rained most of the night. I feared the highly anticipated next day in the Dolomites would be ruined by rain. Little did I know the storm also brought significant snow to the mountains. The clouds broke at mid-morning to reveal a fresh white dusting on the high peaks which greatly enhanced an already dreamy landscape. My gratitude goes to Globus Tours and our Italian driver Sabino for spotless cleaning of the bus windows every night, making these shots possible. Most photos were taken with a Canon 18-200 zoom using shutter priority at 1/500 or 1/250 of a second, and care was taken to avoid fast moving foreground objects. Bus seats were assigned and rotated, so composing to eliminate window reflections from inside the bus was an ever present challenge.

The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) and the World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO) are pleased to publish the Handbook on Judaica Provenance Research: Ceremonial Objects . This online Handbook is meant to help museum staff, researchers, auctioneers, collectors, lawyers, private persons, dealers and other interested parties to trace Judaica objects that were looted or displaced during the 20th century, especially during World War II. These objects may be found in Jewish and non-Jewish museum collections; in private collections; in Jewish institutions such as communities, synagogues, seminaries; and on the market.
The Prague Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets resulted in the Terezin Declaration, which for the first time specifically dealt internationally with looted Judaica separately from looted art. The Prague Conference was followed by the establishment of the European Shoah Legacy Institute (ESLI), which as part of its Advisory Council appointed a Working Group on Judaica and Jewish Cultural Property chaired by Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek and with the following members: Inka Bertz, Julie-Marthe Cohen, Daniel Dratwa, Wesley Fisher, Karen Franklin, Rhoda Rosen, Hila Tene-Gilad, Photini Tomai-Constantopoulou, and Magda Veselská. Over the years that followed, many of the members of this Working Group held discussions among themselves – generally in conjunction with meetings of the Association of European Jewish Museums (AEJM) – about what would be most helpful to the field of provenance research on Judaica and what should happen concerning the restitution or other disposition of looted Judaica. One of their conclusions was the need for a handbook on Judaica provenance research.
While some similar guides or manuals exist regarding provenance research on looted art, nothing comparable to date has existed for Judaica. The nature of objets d'art differs substantially from that of Judaica, and consequently so does the research to be carried out. For example, the uniqueness of individual paintings and sculptures differs from the serial character of Judaica objects; there are far more publications that help to identify a given painting than there are for identifying a Judaica piece; and while Nazi looting agencies often registered works of art systematically, they did not do so regarding looted Judaica, and the same seems to be true of Allied postwar records.
The first part provides an overview of prewar Judaica and Jewish museum collections, an overview of Nazi agencies engaged in the looting of Jewish material culture, the looting of Judaica, the dispersion of the objects after World War II and, briefly, the nationalizations of Judaica before, during and after the war.
The second part deals with the identification of Judaica objects and is intended especially for people who are not familiar with this kind of material culture. It gives a typology of Judaica and offers tools to identify an object (origin, age, region, material, etc.).
Part three explains how provenance and location can be established by the use of specific documentation and where this kind of documentation may be found.
Part four offers a listing of online databases, and a bibliography of Jewish museum and exhibition catalogues as well as of other relevant literature.
Julie-Marthe Cohen studied Italian language and literature at the University of Amsterdam. She is curator of cultural history at the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam. In that capacity, she organizes exhibitions and publishes on topics relating to the Museum's collection and to Amsterdam Portuguese and Ashkenazi Jewish communities. Since 2000, she has taken a special interest in the wartime history of the Museum's collection and of Judaica collections of Jewish communities in the Netherlands and developed a database of missing and misplaced objects from the Museum's collection. In 2011 she co-edited with Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek Neglected Witnesses. The Fate of Jewish Ceremonial Objects During the Second World War and After.
Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek holds a Ph.D. in Jewish Studies and Art History from the University of Vienna. Since 2011 she has worked as a freelance curator, consultant to Jewish museums and university lecturer (see: http://www.xhibit.at/heimann). Prior to that she served as chief curator at the Jewish Museum Vienna for twenty years. Since 2013 she heads the Advanced Curatorial Education Programme for the Association of European Jewish Museums. In addition to numerous publications on Jewish cultural history, she published together with Julie-Marthe Cohen Neglected Witnesses: The Fate of Jewish Ceremonial Objects during the Second World War and After in 2011.
Ruth Jolanda Weinberger holds a doctoral degree in history from the University of Vienna. She is a historian for the Looted Art and Cultural Property Initiative at the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. She co-produced the worldwide Descriptive Catalogue of Looted Judaica and worked on the 2014 report Holocaust-Era Art: An Overview of Worldwide Progress. She created a report entitled The Looting of Jewish and Cultural Objects in Former Yugoslavia: The HAG Südosten & the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg in Belgrade, Agram (Zagreb) and Ragusa (Dubrovnik), and a large number of internal papers on provenance research and restitution procedures in various countries worldwide. Previously she worked for the Swiss Refugee Program of the Swiss Bank Settlement, the Vienna-based Committee for Jewish Claims on Austria, and the Fund for Victims of Medical Experiments and Other Injuries administered by the Claims Conference, under the auspices of the German Foundation.
Provenance research on Judaica is important on moral grounds. It is important for the preservation and understanding of Jewish culture. It is important for Holocaust remembrance. And it is a worldwide matter. The Handbook on Judaica Provenance Research: Ceremonial Objects should prove a helpful step forward.

Queen Victoria (1819-1901) Reigned 1837-1901
Heinrich von Angeli (1840 - 1925)
This print was made after the painting of 1875 by Heinrich von Angeli and published in 1877. It is not the most flattering portrait of Queen Victoria. However, she was clearly pleased with it as she commissioned a second portrait from the artist some 10 years later. Angeli painted her for a third time, as an elderly woman, just two years before her death in 1899 and all three versions remain in the Royal Collection.
Another indicator that Victoria was fond of the portrait is a label preserved in the Government Art Collection and formerly attached to this print. It reads: 'Given by H. M. Queen Victoria to Captain Lord Charles Scott, H. M. S. Bacchante'.
The Captain Scott referred to is Lord Charles Thomas Montague-Douglas-Scott (1839-1911), a naval officer who commanded the Bacchante from 1879 to 1882, for which he was created a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB). This print was probably presented to him by Victoria in 1882. He later served as aide-de-camp to the Queen from 1886 to 1888.
Heinrich von Angeli was born in Sopron, Austria. He moved to Vienna in 1853 to live with his uncle. In 1854 he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and moved to Dusseldorf two years later to study under Friedrich von Amerling. From 1859 to 1862 he produced history paintings in Munich. He then returned to Vienna, where he exhibited at the World Fair. He moved to Italy in 1871, turning to genre and portrait painting. He received portrait commissions from the courts of Vienna, St. Petersburg and London. He became a professor of the Academy of Fine Arts and President of the Künstlerhaus in Vienna. He remained in Vienna (occasionally sending work to the Royal Academy or Grosvenor Gallery in London) until his death at the age of 85.

Ice, Grass Or Water: Why Three Women's Teams Deserve To Be Olympic Team Of The Year
By Doug Williams | Nov. 12, 2015, 12:29 p.m. (ET)
(L-R) The women's World Cup soccer team, the women's senior national water polo team and the women's USA-1 bobsled team are the three nominees for Olympic Team of the Year.
Bobsled, soccer and water polo may not appear to have much in common. In one, athletes slide down an icy track at breakneck speed. In the other two, goals are the goal but the mode of movement is feet vs. hands and the surfaces are solid vs. fluid.
Yet athletes from all three sports have achieved incredible success as members of U.S. teams in international competition since last fall and have been selected as the three finalists for 2014-15 Olympic Team of the Year, presented by Dow. Fans can vote through Nov. 20 at TeamUSA.org/Awards.
We've dug into the archives to find eight facts you probably didn't know about each nominated team and its members. Take a look, and make sure to tune into the Team USA Awards, presented by Dow, on NBCSN on Dec. 27. The Olympic Team of the Year is one of six fan-voted awards that will be presented that night in Philadelphia.
Women's USA-1 (bobsled) The team of pilot Elana Meyers Taylor and Cherrelle Garrett became the first U.S. women's bobsled team to win a world championship, and Meyers Taylor won six gold medals to claim the 2014-15 world cup title. Vote for USA-1.
Eight things you might not know about USA-1:
Garrett, a former track standout at Cal, was introduced to the sport by Meyers Taylor. She ran track with Meyers Taylor's husband, Nic Taylor, at Mt. Eden High School in Hayward, California.
Their winning world championship margin of .43 seconds is about the same amount of time it takes a major league hitter to identify the type of pitch he's seeing.
Meyers Taylor has won four world championship medals in her career (gold, two silver, bronze), as both a pilot and brakeman.
After winning a silver medal with Lauryn Williams at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, Meyers Taylor played some games with the national rugby sevens team. It was a sport she knew little about. "I knew that you couldn't tackle anybody unless they had the ball, but I have been Googling pretty much everything," she said just after joining the team. "I have found that Wikipedia is not the best way to learn rugby."
Taylor, also a bobsledder, proposed to his wife after she had just received her medal at the 2013 world championships. He dropped to one knee and proposed over the public address system while holding roses.
Garrett, a sprinter at Cal, knew little about bobsled. But after watching the movie "Cool Runnings," she told a coach, "I can do that."
Meyers Taylor was a softball star in college at George Washington University (shortstop and pitcher). She hit a game-winning grand slam in the final home game of her career.
Meyers Taylor is the daughter of Eddie Meyers, a former record-setting running back at Navy who says bobsled is "too scary" for him. "I guess I'll do it eventually," he once said. "But only if Elana drives for me."
Women's World Cup team (soccer) The U.S women defeated Japan 5-2 in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup final. With the victory, the U.S. became the first nation to win three Women's World Cups. It was the United States' first World Cup title since 1999. Vote for the USWNT.
Eight things you might not know about the USWNT:
In the championship game, Carli Lloyd scored the fastest hat trick in women's World Cup history, scoring goals in the third, fifth and 16th minute.
Star midfielder Megan Rapinoe scored two goals and assisted on two others over six World Cup games. Afterward, her hometown of Redding, California, declared July 21 Megan Rapinoe Day. "Megan is a tremendous example of a young person whose hard work and dedication to excellence has made her a champion," Mayor Francie Sullivan said.
Defender Becky Sauerbrunn was one of the under-recognized stars for Team USA this summer — and one of five U.S. players who played in every minute of every World Cup game. Afterward, though, she gained some attention with a unique Twitter Q&A. Among her responses, Sauerbrunn said she'd most want Meghan Klingenberg or Rapinoe for protection in the case of a Zombie apocalypse, and she turned down a hypothetical opportunity to fight MMA and 2008 Olympic judo medalist Ronda Rousey. "I like my arms where they are," Sauerbrunn said.
An amazing 25.4 million viewers tuned into the Women's World Cup final. That made it most-watched soccer event in U.S. television history.
Making more history, the champs became the first women's team to be given a ticker-tape parade through the Canyon of Heroes in New York City. Team members, riding on multiple floats and accompanied by marching bands, were showered with about two tons of confetti.
Abby Wambach, 35, announced her December retirement after the World Cup as the leading scorer in the history of women's international play, with 184 goals. When she first joined the U.S. team in 2001, she was such a talker that veteran teammate Julie Foudy gave her a T-shirt that read, "Help, I'm talking and I can't shut up."
Lloyd, awarded the Golden Ball for being the best player in the World Cup, has a flavor named after her at an ice cream shop in New Jersey, where she lives and went to school (Rutgers): Carli's Cake Batter Cookie Dough Kick.
In July, the team won the ESPY award for Best Team of 2015, beating out the Golden State Warriors, Chicago Blackhawks, New England Patriots, the Ohio State football team and the UConn women's basketball team.
Women's Senior National Team (water polo) The U.S. squad defeated the Netherlands 5-4 in the final of the 2015 FINA World Championship. It's the fourth world title for Team USA. The U.S. women's water polo team became the first to hold all four major titles concurrently: the Olympic Games, world championship, World Cup and World League. Vote for the U.S. women's water polo team.
Eight things you might not know about the U.S. women's water polo team:
Attacker Rachel Fattal was named FINA World Championship MVP after scoring 18 goals. She says her favorite quote is from Dr. Seuss: "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you."
The U.S. team finished this year 28-1 overall.
Goalkeeper Ashleigh Johnson, who made 66 saves and was selected to the all-world championship team, was forced to take a swimming class for safety reasons (with her siblings) after her mother bought a house with a pool in Florida.
Maddie Musselman, a 17-year-old high school senior, scored a goal in the world championship final. She's the daughter of former major league pitcher Jeff Musselman.
Coach Adam Krikorian also coached the U.S. women to the Olympic title in London in 2012. After that victory, players draped all of their medals around his neck because coaches don't win medals. "It was a gesture that was more meaningful than anything I've experienced during my coaching career," he said.
Center Kami Craig, a veteran of the London team who scored six goals in the world championship tournament, always drinks coffee before each game.
Attacker Kiley Neushul of Stanford grew up in Santa Barbara, California, and first learned the game at age 7 from her mom, Cathy, a coach at UC Santa Barbara. The coaching paid off: Kiley has twice received the Peter J. Cutino Award given to the nation's best collegiate player.
Defender Maggie Steffens in 2014 was selected FINA Women's Water Polo Player of the Year and was tournament MVP at the London Games. She's also crafty. As part of a design class last year at Stanford, Steffens created a dominoes board to give to her dad for Christmas.
Doug Williams covered three Olympic Games for two Southern California newspapers and was the Olympic editor for the San Diego Union-Tribune. He has written for TeamUSA.org since 2011 as a freelance contributor on behalf of Red Line Editorial, Inc.

Tides and volcanoes: a historical perspective
Gianluca Sottili
Sebastien Lambert
SYRTE - Systèmes de Référence Temps Espace
Systèmes de Référence Temps Espace
We examine the origins and the history of the hypothesis for an influence of tidal forces on volcanic activity. The idea of an influence of the Moon and Sun on magmatic processes dates back to the Hellenistic world. However, it was only since the late 19th century, with the establishment of volcano observatories at Mt. Etna and Vesuvius allowing a systematic collection of observations with modern methods, that the "tidal controversy" opened one of the longest and most important debates in Earth Science. At the beginning of the 20th century, the controversy assumed a much more general significance, as the debate around the tidal influence on volcanism developed around the formulation of the first modern theories on the origins of volcanism, the structure of the Earth's interior and the mechanisms for continental drift. During the same period, the first experimental evidence for the existence of the Earth tides by Hecker (1907), and the Chamberlin–Moulton planetesimal hypothesis (proposed in 1905 by geologist T.C Chamberlin and astronomer F.R Moulton) about the 'tidal' origin of the Solar System, influenced and stimulated new researches on volcano-tides interactions, such as the first description of the 'lava tide' at the Kilauea volcano by T.A Jaggar in 1924. Surprisingly, this phase of gradual acceptance of the tidal hypothesis was followed by a period of lapse between 1930 to late 1960. A new era of stimulating and interesting speculations opened at the beginning of the seventies of the 20th century thanks to the discovery of the moonquakes revealed by the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package. A few years later, in 1979, the intense volcanism on the Jupiter's moon Io, discovered by the Voyager 1 mission, was explained by the tidal heating produced by the Io's orbital eccentricity. Lastly, we discuss the major advances over the last decades and the new frontiers of this research topic, which traditionally bears on interdisciplinary contributions (e.g., from geosciences, physics, astronomy). We conclude that the present-day debate around the environmental crisis stimulated a new field of research around the complex mechanisms of mutual interactions among orbital factors, Milankovitch Cycles, climate changes and volcanism.

Rick James (* 1. Februar 1948 als James Ambrose Johnson junior in Buffalo, New York; † 6. August 2004 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Sänger, Songwriter und Musikproduzent.

Leben
Rick James war das dritte von acht Kindern einer ehemaligen Tänzerin und eines Arbeiters. In den 1960er Jahren sang er in der Rockband Mynah Birds, in der Neil Young für kurze Zeit Gitarre spielte. Zwar hatte die Formation einen Vertrag mit Motown und nahm für das Label auch eine Platte auf, sie fiel jedoch auseinander, da James sich unerlaubt von den US-Streitkräften entfernt hatte und eine Gefängnisstrafe erhielt.

Während der späten 1970er und frühen 1980er Jahre war er einer der erfolgreichsten Künstler des Musiklabels Motown. James' musikalischer Stil war eine wilde Interpretation von Funkmusik und Rhythm and Blues (R&B), die er durch sein eigenwilliges Erscheinungsbild unterstützte. Im Jahr 1980 trat der damals noch recht unbekannte US-Musiker Prince bei James' Fire-It-Up-Tour als Vorgruppe mit seiner Band auf.

James erreichte 1982 mit dem Titel Super Freak Platz eins der Billboard-Dance-Charts. Ein weiterer Erfolg war das von James geschriebene Lied Party All the Time, das er für Eddie Murphy produzierte. Drei Jahre später erreichte die Single Glow Platz eins der US-Dance-Charts. 1991 wurde er als Co-Autor von MC Hammers U Can't Touch This, das auf James' Hit Super Freak basiert, mit einem Grammy für den besten R&B-Song ausgezeichnet. 1997 unternahm James einen Comebackversuch. Während einer Tour im Jahr 1998 erlitt er jedoch einen Schlaganfall, der seine Laufbahn als Musiker weitgehend beendete.

Neben seinen musikalischen Erfolgen sorgte James auch durch seinen ausschweifenden Lebensstil, insbesondere durch seinen exzessiven Drogenkonsum, für Aufsehen. In den 1990er Jahren wurde er zu einer mehrjährigen Gefängnisstrafe verurteilt. Das Gericht befand ihn für schuldig, gemeinsam mit seiner damaligen Partnerin, Tanya Hijazi, eine junge Frau entführt und misshandelt zu haben. Dabei wurden dem Opfer mit dem heißen Ende einer Crackpfeife Verbrennungen zugefügt. Er verbrachte drei Jahre im Folsom Prison im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien.

Durch Chappelle's Show wurde James auch dem jüngeren Publikum bekannt. In der Show erzählte Charlie Murphy von diversen Eskapaden, die beide gemeinsam erlebt hätten. Zwischendurch wird dabei immer wieder ein Ausschnitt aus einem Interview mit James eingespielt, in dem er sagt: "Cocaine is a hell of a drug" ("Kokain ist eine höllische Droge") und dann lacht.

James starb am 6. August 2004 im Alter von 56 Jahren. Er erlag, wie eine Autopsie feststellte, einem Herzanfall, vermutlich eine Spätfolge seines exzessiven Drogenkonsums. Laut Autopsie stand er dabei unter dem Einfluss von neun verschiedenen Drogen; er hatte aber keine der Drogen in einer lebensbedrohlichen Dosis eingenommen.

Creating a data-driven classroom may sound intimidating, but it can be easy once you learn how to collect, analyze, and make changes based on classroom data.
With the recent push for increased classroom data analysis, it feels as though the job description of a teacher should include statistician. Collecting data, and especially analyzing it, can be a daunting task. Yet, as classroom teachers, you are probably already collecting all sorts of data from your students on a daily basis – it may just take one or two more steps to do something valuable with it. Here are some strategies that will help you create an effective data-driven classroom.
First things first, you need to collect the data! Many schools have access to software that can collect and even analyze data when using a multiple choice assessment, such as Scantron and MasteryConnect, but if these are not available to you, or you are not giving this type of assessment, there are still many strategies you can use to collect assessment data and become a data-driven teacher.
Recruit your students for a quick way to collect assessment data! Create a horizontal strip of paper that has a numbered block for each question on the assessment. Ask students to color or shade in the blocks of the questions that they got wrong. This can be done either after the assessment is already graded, or as you go over an assessment with the class. Collect the strips and line them up on another piece of paper or on the inside of a file folder. Look at the frequency of shaded blocks for a simple visual version of the data from this assessment.
Utilize student response devices or systems to collect formative assessment. If your school does not have a set of devices to use, utilize student laptops, tablets, or cell phones for a fun way to become a data-driven classroom. This will allow both you and the students to see live data on anything that you would like to assess. Socrative and Kahoot are two great websites to get you started.
Google Forms provide a great way to collect some valuable data. Create a form with multiple choice or short answer questions, send the link to your students, and watch the data compile into a spreadsheet! If you have a flipped classroom, this would useful means of data collection from home. However it is used, Google Forms is a great tool for formative assessment or collecting data to meet individual students needs as a data-driven teacher.
If your school does not have access to grading software, you can still use your own through a variety of websites. For example, GradeCam enables you to take pictures of a bubble sheet to then grade and analyze the data for you! There are many sites out there with a variety of free or paid versions.
No matter how you collect your data, it is important to take the time to look at the data and find meaning. There may be one major concept that the majority of students struggled with. There may be one question that really stumped your students because of the wording or answer choices. This is where the data becomes very valuable and can provide essential insight into your teaching, your assessment, and your students.
Organize your assessments by standard, indicator or concept. This will allow you to quickly analyze if students are struggling with one particular topic. You may find that one class mastered the concept, while another did not. Or perhaps they all had trouble. Reviewing data in this way will enable to you assess your own teaching effectiveness and allow you to reteach concepts as necessary.
Did the majority of your students miss the same question? This could be the result of a few things. First look at how the question was worded. Was there something misleading or unclear? Second, look at the answer choices. This is especially needed if most of the students selected the same wrong response. Was there a choice that could also be considered correct? Was one of the choices worded incorrectly? Third, assess how the question addressed what you taught in class. Was it presented in a similar way? Were the students unable to apply skills to new situations? Being able to address issues with assessments and the transfer of concepts is more major advantage of data-driven teaching.
Bring data to your Professional Learning Community (PLC). This is especially needed if you use common assessments. Compare how students did in each class. Did they all struggle with the same thing, or was it different in each class? Take advantage of each other's strengths and brainstorm how to best teach the missed concept. Switch classrooms to reteach, or share teaching strategies.
Now that you have analyzed the data, what are you going to do with? This data has a lot of value beyond being a discussion point at your next PLC meeting. Formative and summative assessment data can be a valuable tool to differentiate instruction, design classroom activities, or reflect on your own teaching. This is the last step in any data-driven classroom.
If you have organized your assessments by standard, indicator or concept, set goals for mastery. For example, you may say that students need to answer four out of six questions about chemical reactions to "master" that concept. If they have not, the student "needs to master" that concept. Create centers that students may use to reinforce or reteach the skills that they still need to master. This will individualize learning and provide help where they need it. This works best as a review before a larger summative assessment.
Help students who struggled by placing them in a small group setting. Group your students using the data and provide instruction away from the whole class. This will allow you to really target individual student needs.
If the majority of your class had difficulty with a large concept, take the time to reteach. Use new activities to apply the same skills, or reinforce the concept with similar problem sets. Ask a partner teacher to share their strategies or to teach your students in a new way.
While data analysis can seem overwhelming, try taking small steps towards integrating data in your classroom with your next assessment. You will quickly see the immense value that can come from becoming a data-driven classroom with the future successes you will see in your students!

Storing Health Records On Your Phone: Can Apple Live Up To Its Privacy Values?

Sam Cavaliere, a San Diego tech worker, considers himself in average health, though the 47-year-old admits, "I can always stand to lose a little weight." Like a lot of iPhone owners, he uses Apple's Health app to keep track of his weight, his exercise routines and how many steps he takes in a day.
Now the app is also storing his health records.

Since last March, Apple has been rolling out a feature that allows people to store their medical records in its Health app. UC San Diego Health, where Cavaliere sees his doctors, is one of more than 200 health care providers around the United States using the health records feature.
Cavaliere travels a lot for work, and he likes to keep track of his blood pressure. He's able to do that using a special cuff linked to the Health app.
And he likes the convenience of having the app keep his medical records.
"When I go to the doctor, in addition to my records from there, I get my blood pressure results that I've taken myself," Cavaliere says. "And they can see that and compare it to what they're doing in the office so that they get a bigger picture than just the once or twice a year that I show up at the office."
The global health care industry is expected to reach $10 trillion by 2022. That's bigger than the economy of any country other than the United States and China. Amazon, Google and Microsoft are among the companies vying for a piece of that pie in areas such as retail pharmacies, using artificial intelligence for disease detection and healthy-living apps.
And so is Apple.
At a moment when iPhone sales have slowed and many analysts are wondering if Apple's best days of innovation are behind it, the company has been innovating and expanding its presence in health care. It's an area where the company's long-held privacy values may give it an edge over the competition — if it can hold up to the growing public scrutiny.
Putting health records into an app created by a big tech company requires trust. Those records could list medications taken, treatments for diseases and visits to mental health care providers. That's not the kind of information most people want an employer, advertiser or insurance company to see.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has been a vocal advocate for privacy rights. Most recently, he has spoken out against rival companies Google and Facebook for making money off user data to sell ads.
In an interview with NPR, Cook says acquiring user data to sell ads is something his company has avoided. "People will look at this and feel that they can trust Apple," he says. "That's a key part of anyone that you're working with on your health."
Cook says Apple's commitment to privacy isn't simply a marketing ploy. "It's not the way we look at it in terms of advantages," he says. "The reality is that I know for me, I want to do business with people that have my health data, people that I deeply trust."
Cavaliere, the San Diego tech worker, says Apple has managed to gain his trust. "I don't get fed advertisements for them, so I don't see them trying to monetize it," he says. Unlike with other companies, he says, "I feel comfortable with how [Apple's] doing it and what they're doing."
Dr. Chris Longhurst, UC San Diego Health's chief information officer, says Apple's strong privacy values made officials at the facility feel more at ease. "Nothing is more important than keeping the privacy of our patients' health information," he says.
Longhurst says the iPhone helps keep the data safe. "This data did not go into the cloud," he says. "It only resided on the user's device, is encrypted and is only accessible with user permission." Health records are also subject to strict federal privacy laws.
But Apple has far from a perfect track record when it comes to privacy. At a time of heightened scrutiny of all tech companies and their privacy records, the Wall Street Journal has found that several top health and fitness apps available for iPhones send personal information, such as data about heart rates and menstrual cycles, to Facebook.
Apple says those apps don't connect to health records. It says the apps were violating its rules and the developers must fix the problem; those that don't will be removed from the App Store. Importantly, users must give permission before an app can access their health records.
Longhurst says UC San Diego Health cautions patients to be careful. "There are potential risks," he says. "It is important that patients be informed so that they're not inadvertently sharing information with third parties they would not want to have this information."
UC San Diego Health and other providers say they're open to working with other companies besides Apple. They just need assurances that their patients' health records will be safe, secure and private — and not fodder for advertisers.

There's some refreshing about sitting in the grass, enjoying some fresh strawberries and laughing with friends. On Saturday, my girlfriends Lexi (designer of Evelyn Curtis) and Selby (photographer at Selby photography)joined me at Roma Street Parklands for a picnic brunch, complete with gluten free brownies and chocolate dipped strawberries. It was fantastic.
I wore my favourite houndstooth skirt from Portmans, paired with my new pink knitted sweater from Princess Polly. This sweater is so full and fluffy, the perfect snuggly piece.
