Conundrum is a scientific English thriller par excellence. The author has used a rarest of rare skill of presentation of a riddle with pun and dreadful formidability that caused the death of thirteen otherwise innocent lives. The cause of such death remained unexplored to normal purview of the investigation of police. The question is, what good enough reason work as inputs to perpetuate such heinous crime? The experts in the research field opine chronic constant anger due to turbulent past might be the trigger of a revenge or it can be due to a manifestation of micro-psychotic episode causing Borderline Personality Disorder. The people with Borderline Personality Disorder often has a high IQ and a gage of wits than the usual motive. The bouts could convert the person to a serial killer than specific motive for a particular crime. According to sustained research findings, the present generation of humankind in some form reveal such behaviour trait and show an intrinsic disorder with varied manifestations. Often, they've unstable intense interpersonal relationships alternating to extremes – from idealisation or over-idealisation to devaluation. They might have chronic feelings of emptiness. The crucial feature is affective instability.
The author in this thriller has made this scientific finding very clear with observation that "Marked shifts of the baseline mood to depression, irritability, anxiety marked reactivity of the mood which we term as dysphoria. It could range from a few hours to days. A feeling of guilt often subconsciously works. It might lead to transient paranoid ideation or dissociation". To make it clearer the author maintains "that in ideation or dissociative state, that's off the normalcy, there could be a transient phase, where out of anger to whatever reason, might lead to the assailant to commit these heinous deeds. This might be from stress due to whatever reason, from a feel of void"
The author with acute acumen ship very logically brings a Professor of Indian Statistical Institute working in a higher mathematical domain who could utilise his intellect and knowledge of psychiatry in order to make a deadly assemblage confronting one with the triple-bundled action for reaching out the solution. In such an endeavour Prof Summit needed stringent impute for self-realisation, being a fellow falling under the group of resistant obsessive persona, though he is a topper, end to end in his academic journey that ordained him to obtain a PhD from a foreign country in Statistical Research.
Conundrum being a scientific English thriller does not fall under the category of general genre areas for multiple reasons. As a physician par excellence and a person of highest intellectual and literary faculties, he highlights an age-old tradition of masculine promiscuity, repressing the feminine lust in socio-cultural and religious fetters, resultantly causing backlash with evolution, female multitude trailing the masculine attributes. When it boils the personal definition, it's 'No… no'. I as a male child could fool around but you as my wife can't. With this conviction, he justifies deep-seated hypocrisy in maintaining the relationship between a male and a female.
In the novel author has very logically portrayed a character having supremacy over others for which he referred to the dominant personal attributes as that of a character Chitrangada in the epic Mahabharata. The author spares not himself to educate the readers about the use of the Fibonacci system of sequencing the murders that make this thriller highly engrossing. "In mathematics, sequence of numbers surprisingly useful applications in botany and other natural sciences. Beginning with two 1's each new term is generated as the sum of the previous two: 1,1, 2, 3, 5, 8,13… The 13th century mathematician Leonardo of Pisa (c1170 – after 1240) also known as the Fibonacci discovered the sequence but did not explore its uses which have turned out to be wide and various. For example, the number of petals in most types of flowers and number involved in branching and seed formation patterns cause from Fibonacci sequence". The Fibonacci system originated in India from the works of Pingala (200 BC) on itemising possible patterns of poetry from syllabus of two lengths, especially Sanskrit prosody known as known as 'chandas' in the Vedic verses. It had extensive use in Vedic literature (700 BC) Vedanga verses.
Ardent readers highly appreciate the language used in narrating the storyline of this unique thriller from beginning to the end and the author's visualisation of nature on appropriate occasions, make depicting characters incisive and lively.
The cover page of the book commands attention of the readers.

AFL promise new vision statement for AFLW after discontent over planning and resourcing
Analysis By Mary Gearin Sun 23 Sep 2018, 6:15 AM AEST

As the men of Aussie rules prepare for their biggest week of the year, there are changes afoot in the women's game.
Both the AFL and the AFL Players Association are currently working on vision statements for the league, a set of guiding principles as to how to move forward into season three of the AFLW.
It is, in part, a response to voiced concerns of players and other stakeholders that decisions of late have been "made up on the run" to some degree.
Just 19 months after the seismic shock that was the birth of the AFLW, there are questions being raised about how the AFL is handling the juggernaut, and whether adequate planning and resources are being brought to bear at a critical stage of AFLW's history.
There remains widespread praise for the AFL establishing the league ahead of schedule, and acknowledgement there are many passionate people working to establish the league's future.
However, a number of players and figures involved in AFLW have told the ABC they are dismayed by a year of distractions and missteps, which they say highlight the dangerous lack of long-term planning.
Photo Tiarna Ernst (L) holds the AFLW Premiership cup aloft with stand-in captain Ellie Blackburn.

The AFL has told the ABC it is actively addressing such concerns and claims to have boosted staff numbers at AFL HQ and at community level.
But at this stage it has no plan to make public its one- to three-year strategy.
'Where are we going now?'
AFLW veteran Meg Hutchins is working with the AFL Players Association on its own vision statement and said it was critical to get the league's strategy in place now.
"In year two, and leading into year three, it's probably just more a query about where are we going now with this competition," she said.
A long-term strategy, in the view of Hutchins, would in the first instance help the players make critical life decisions.
"You've got a lot of women who potentially are giving up work and delaying family, changing their life (to get an) AFLW experience. So it would be good to give them a little bit more certainty," she said.
"Also, [in terms of] attracting athletes from other sports, if they can't see what the vision is then why would they give up playing their other sport at a high level?"
Hutchins sees dangers if a comprehensive plan is not laid out soon.
"My big fear is that fans of AFL in general might lose a bit of interest, because they can't see where it's going either, so they might see it as a little bit of a gimmick to be honest," she said.
Photo Daisy Pearce was critical of proposed fixture planning for the coming season in the AFLW.
AAP: Julian Smith
"And that really cuts deep, calling something that you're really passionate about and you're investing so much time [in] a gimmick."
"Gimmicky" was exactly how AFLW star Daisy Pearce described how the league appeared under the AFL's plans to cut the 2019 season to an eight-week competition.
That announcement, the response from AFL boss Gillon McLachlan (who said: "The World Cup goes for four weeks, you don't hear anyone calling that Mickey Mouse"), the cutting of the AFLW marketing in its second year, plus the oxygen-sucking launch of the widely derided AFLX, all have led to increasing consternation behind the scenes.
'Actions speak louder than words'
There's no doubt the AFL has seen the metrics indicating the unique power and reach of the women's game, even at this early stage. And few doubt the AFL knows that it is onto a good thing.
McLachlan himself was on record saying: "There is no bigger priority for us in AFL House than women's football ... no bigger, there are equal, but it's a huge priority for us."
Susan Alberti is a pioneer of women's footy and part of the founding AFLW advisory group.
She is not alone in fearing interest could falter if the AFLW is mishandled at this critical stage.
"Gill himself has said we are experiencing a revolution. I'm a great believer actions speak louder than words," she said.
"We've got so many women playing the game now. Hey wake up!"
The question for some is whether the AFL has become complacent about the strength of that support continuing if the integrity of the competition is not made clear in its fixturing plans, and if the pathways supplied for players and coaches aren't developed more quickly.
'Overall the AFL has much to be proud of'
Western Bulldogs president Peter Gordon praises the AFL boss for getting more right than wrong for the women.
"I think overall the AFL has much to be proud of," he said. "AFLW is the most profound and important progress in the sport since Harrison and Wills."
Photo The AFLW has been universally viewed as a huge success. The challenge now is how best to build on that goodwill.
AAP: Tony McDonough
But he too has been frustrated by some aspects of the AFLW's management this year.
"I think AFLW and more broadly, women's football, would benefit from a longer term strategic plan and I hope one is in the offing," he said.
"But it's a new industry and a lot of the planning for it necessarily relies on good guesses because of an absence of data."
Gordon points to the competing and demanding range of priorities for the AFL across a range of departments, but argues that within those constraints better decisions could be made to support the women's game.
"I would support increased investment in AFLW and I would prefer to see every dollar invested in AFLX instead channelled into AFLW," he said.
'We need to see some kind of planning'
As a passionate observer, Leesa Catto has watched on with trepidation as 2018 has unfolded.
Catto has been in women's footy for decades, one of the old crew who were part of the unseen, unrewarded struggle ahead of the AFLW.
"In 2017 we saw a massive fanfare showcase starting the game with a bang," she said.
"The second year, you would have thought we'd really want to continue that and increase it but AFLX came in competing."
She believes there will be players training for the upcoming season feeling like they need more signs of commitment from the AFL.
"I think that the love of AFL will keep those girls pushing and pushing but they would be disillusioned as would the current players at the moment," she said.
"They've got to have faith in the AFL, as we all do, but we need to see some kind of planning and to be able to have visibility of that for everyone, not just within AFL HQ but for everyone that's invested in the game.
"It should have already started happening, so hopefully it has been. And hopefully we [eventually] see that it's not like it appears, that sometimes it's made up on the run."

What are the most promising technical tools for making predictions about criminal activity, and what are the most promising tactical approaches for acting on these predictions?
What tools and methods have been used by law enforcement agencies, and what lessons can be drawn from those experiences?
Which crime problems are best suited for predictive policing, and what questions should police departments ask when deciding which tool or method to use?
What are the limitations of predictive techniques, and what pitfalls should departments avoid?
Predictive policing is the use of analytical techniques to identify promising targets for police intervention with the goal of preventing crime, solving past crimes, and identifying potential offenders and victims. These techniques can help departments address crime problems more effectively and efficiently. They are being used by law enforcement agencies across the United States and elsewhere, and these experiences offer valuable lessons for other police departments as they consider the available tools to collect data, develop crime-related forecasts, and take action in their communities. This guide is one in a series of resources sponsored by the National Institute of Justice to help police departments develop strategies to more effectively prevent crime or conduct investigations. It provides assessments of some of the most promising technical tools for making predictions and tactical approaches for acting on them, drawing on prior research, information from vendors and developers, case studies of predictive policing in practice, and lessons from the use of similar techniques in military operations. It also dispels some myths about predictive methods and explores some pitfalls to avoid in using these tools. Predictive policing is a topic of much enthusiasm and much concern, particularly with regard to civil liberties and privacy rights. As this guide shows, these tools are not a substitute for integrated approaches to policing, nor are they a crystal ball; the most effective predictive policing approaches are elements of larger proactive strategies that build strong relationships between police departments and their communities to solve crime problems.
There Are Four Primary Categories of Predictive Policing Methods; Each Includes Options to Suit the Capabilities and Requirements of Different Police Departments
Predictive policing methods fall into four general categories: methods for predicting crimes, methods for predicting offenders, methods for predicting perpetrators' identities, and methods for predicting victims of crime.
Each category includes options for large departments that handle large amounts of complex data and for smaller departments that require only basic tools to manage and visualize small amounts of geospatial data. Available methods range from basic heuristic techniques to sophisticated, cutting-edge mathematical models.
Predictive Policing Methods Are Not Equivalent to a Crystal Ball, but They Can Enhance Proactive Policing and Improve Intervention Strategies
Predictive policing methods are not a crystal ball: they cannot foretell the future. They can only identify people and locations at increased risk of crime.
The operational value of predictive policing tools is in their contribution to broader law enforcement strategies that use the tools' risk assessments to inform resource allocation and problem-solving decisions.
The collection and use of data on individuals has raised a number of concerns about privacy rights and civil liberties. An understanding of the legal precedent, along with regular audits, public outreach strategies, and greater community involvement and buy-in, have helped police departments address these concerns.
Predictive policing tools should be compatible with the data needs and capabilities of individual law enforcement agencies. Small agencies investigating few crimes are unlikely to need much more than core statistical and display capabilities. Larger agencies with large volumes of incident and intelligence data will want to consider more sophisticated systems. They may also want to consider how well the systems disseminate and display key supporting information on recent crime and disorder, intelligence, and policing activity, in addition to the predictions themselves, to better support decisionmaking at all levels.
Developers should be aware of the major financial limitations that law enforcement agencies face in procuring and maintaining new systems, and they should avoid promising crystal ball–like capabilities when it comes to these systems.
To be effective, predictive policing must include interventions based on analytical findings. Successful interventions typically have top-level support, sufficient resources, automated systems providing needed information, and assigned personnel with both the freedom to resolve crime problems and accountability for doing so.
In all cases, law enforcement agencies should respect civil liberties and privacy rights. When implementing a predictive policing strategy, they should use good judgment in sharing information about possible offenders and victims, and they should work to involve and educate the community to address these concerns.

The Netflix effect….depopulation. You're probably onto something here. I wonder if this is a CIA plot.
Always glad to have a new Becky Says Things post. Thank you.
I didn't think about the CIA, but now you mention it I definitely think they're involved. It's too sophisticated a plot to be anyone else.
Malcolm you are one of the lucky ones. Retain your ignorance – it may save you.
Do you remember that Netflix started out as a mail-order DVD rental service? Now look at them! They rule the world! It's an astonishing arc and yet another benchmark with which to weight my own slovenly laziness and lack of motivation, which is, OF COURSE, further fed by Netflix. Oh, so clever of them.
I know, it's a dastardly ploy. I suppose they'll get their comeuppance when Netflix wants to make a series about how Netflix destroyed humanity, and there'll be no one left to watch it – then we'll see who's laughing.
laughed as I read this!!
😂😂 I even emailed the link to a friend.
You're too young to know, Malc.


Tomorrow's walk will be at the Westchester Land Trust's Westchester Wilderness Walk on the Zofnass Family Preserve. Meet between 9:15/9:30am near the trail head.
Westchester Wilderness Walk, which includes the Zofnass Family Preserve, encompasses rocky woods, hillside streams, lakes and wetlands and, at 150 acres, is the largest of Westchester Land Trust's preserves. An eight-mile trail network traverses some of the most rugged terrain in a town noted for its crags and outcrops. Paul Zofnass, a Pound Ridge resident and a member of the Westchester Land Trust's Board of Directors, first conceived the idea of creating a trail preserve here, and worked for over 10 years to put the project together, donating land himself, persuading his neighbors to donate land, and creating the impressive trail system. The combination of wetlands, upland forests, and edge habitats is particularly important for sustaining populations of reptiles and amphibians that use several habitat types throughout the year. The variety of habitats means that there is a large diversity of plants and wildlife that occur on the preserve. Observant hikers are likely to encounter wood frogs and spring peepers in spring, yellow-throated vireos and rose-breasted grosbeaks in summer, and wild turkeys year-round.

Q: get height of nodeList load via ajax with javascript I am loading in some html using YUI3, that looks like this:

This is all of my content, neat neat neat!!!!

I've tried using .get('offsetHeight') and .getComputedStyle('height'), but both only return the height of the div and paragraph tag and don't take into account the height of the image.  So, even though the image is 150px tall, I am getting 73px returned.
Whats the best way to get the width and height of a nodeList when the elements haven't had it set via CSS?
Thanks for the help.

A: Either set the img height in the img tag - account for it, or ensure that the height query is called after the image has loaded, not just after the image tag has been put in the page.

Cloudy skies. Low 63F. Winds light and variable.
Demetri Panagopoulos, who died last Saturday, is pictured in an archival photo along with a sign advertising his $10 sandwich offer, and "free" parking for stadium events.
FOXBORO REPORTER ARCHIVES
Remembering Demetri Panagopoulos
For those who remember the early Wild West days of professional football in Foxboro and the cavalcade of colorful characters associated with it, there was irony aplenty in Tuesday night's decision by the board of selectmen to tweak the town's commercial parking regulations.
However, it was less the substance of these modifications, through which the town manages Route 1 business and property owners who park cars during stadium events, than the timing — coming the night before legendary restaurateur Demetri Panagopoulos was laid to rest.
A self-made businessman who teamed with his brother — first in the upscale Red Snapper restaurant (now Ambrosia Weddings & Events), and later in a sprawling web of Route 1 business and real estate holdings — Panagopoulos delighted in butting heads with town officials and pushing the envelope whenever possible. Those qualities were apparent back in the 1980s and '90s, when Panagopoulos hatched one of the most outrageous schemes in the long history of professional sports entertainment in Foxboro.
First, a little background. Among its many deficiencies (like, say, adequate water pressure), Schaefer Stadium opened in 1970 as a bare-bones facility with insufficient parking to serve capacity crowds – a major difference from today. That wasn't necessarily a problem, as a patchwork of off-site parking options swiftly emerged which included both privately-owned "satellite lots" springing up along Route 1 and residential backyards dotting adjacent neighborhoods. Everyone, it seemed, wanted in on what was (and remains) essentially a cash business, beyond the reach of the pesky IRS.
In time, the town took steps to regulate these practices, requiring on-site trash and toilet facilities for commercial lot owners, capping the number of cars allowed in residential yards and eventually mandating sidewalk access in the name of public safety. But just as the road to hell is paved with good intentions, it was a lengthy and imperfect process with plenty of hiccups along the way.
The sidewalk issue addressed on Tuesday night by the board of selectmen was particularly problematic for Panagopoulos. Prior to the infrastructure improvements that accompanied construction of Gillette Stadium, sidewalk access on Route 1 was limited — and certainly didn't reach beyond North Street to the Red Snapper (by that time operating as Big Smoky Valley Steakhouse). As a result, town officials refused Panagopoulos a license to park for stadium events, setting the stage for another great chapter in stadium lore.
Despite the town's best efforts to monitor satellite lots, the temptation to skirt the rules was irresistible, especially when it came to overparking — that is, squeezing in cars beyond a lot's licensed capacity. It was all too easy for attendants working on any given Sunday to park a few dozen extra cars and pocket the cash themselves.
But those sorts of activities, while widely suspected, were virtually impossible to track. Not so with Panagopoulos, whose own clandestine efforts to get a piece of the parking action always seemed a lightning rod for exasperated town inspectors. Finally, the restaurant owner had enough. Never lacking in audacity, he circumvented the sidewalk provision by simply converting Patriots fans to restaurant patrons and charging them $10 for a cellophane-wrapped ham sandwich — then allowing them to park all day for "free" while attending the football game.
This was the last straw for town officials, who ordered police to shut down the ham-handed scheme. As then-police chief Edward O'Leary recalled on Tuesday night, the contraband sandwiches seized as evidence were preserved in deep-freeze lest they were needed for a future legal challenge.
Much has changed since then. Most of the huge satellite lots closest to the stadium complex have been sold and consolidated into the Kraft Group holdings. And while event parking can still be a touchy subject on occasion, the Wild West atmosphere that characterized those pre-Gillette Stadium years is largely a relic from a time when there was as much entertainment off the field as on it.

Bit Agusi or Bit Agushi (also written Bet Agus) was an ancient Aramaean Syro-Hittite state, established by Gusi of Yakhan at the beginning of the 9th century BC. It had included the cities of Arpad, Nampigi (Nampigu) and later on Aleppo Arpad was the capital of the state-kingdom. Bit Agusi stretched from the A'zaz area in the north to Hamath in the south.

Chronology
According to Dan'el Kahn, there were seven stages of Bit Agusi history in Northern Syria in the ninth and eighth centuries BC.

 Stage 1 (858–ca. 842 BC). Early on, Bit Agusi was apparently free of political alliances with neighbors. Arame, the second king of Bit Agusi, submitted to Assyria freely in 858 BCE, along with many other rulers of the region, including the southern Anatolia.
 Stage 2 (841–823 BC). A period of Bit Agusi subjugation to Assyria.
 Stage 3. Around 823 BC, or maybe a little later, Bit Agusi leads a local alliance opposing Assyrian hegemony, and achieves independence.
 Stage 4. Also, soon after this time Aram-Damascus becomes supreme in the region; this lasted until some time before 805 BC. Hazael, King of Aram-Damascus was prominent.
 Stage 5 (ca. 800–754 BC). This is the time when the Kingdom of Hamath-and-Luash arose in the south, while Urartu became prominent in the north. Assyria was weaker at this time.
 Stage 6 (754–744 BC). At this time, Bit Agusi (now known as the Kingdom of Arpad) rose to prominence and probably controlled Hamath, or was in a close confederation with it. Also, the Sefire treaty was concluded at this time between Bar-Gayah, "King of KTK", and Mati-ilu, son of Attarsumki, King of Arpad.
 Stage 7 (743–740 BC). Bit Agusi is reduced to the status of an Assyrian province.

The identity of Bar-Gayah, King of KTK is not entirely clear. Land of "KTK" may have been the large confederation known at the time as "All Aram".

Nevertheless, according to Gerard Gertoux, Bar-Ga'yah, the King of KTK, was an Assyrian ruler who was not the official king but only a powerful royal co-regent based, after 856 BC, at Til Barsip, which became then the military capital of the Assyrian kingdom of Bit Adini. As Mati'-El (Mati-ilu) was a vassal of Bar-Gayah, the latter was more powerful than the king of Arpad.

Decline and fall
Arpad later became a major vassal city of the Kingdom of Urartu. In 743 BC, during the Urartu-Assyria War, the Neo-Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III laid siege to Arpad following the defeat of the Urartian army of Sarduri II at Samsat. But the city of Arpad did not surrender easily. It took Tiglath-Pileser three years of siege to conquer Arpad, whereupon he massacred its inhabitants and destroyed the city. Afterward Arpad served a provincial capital. The remains of Arpad's walls are still preserved in Tell Rifaat to the height of 8 meters. A coalition of princes which had been allied to the city was also defeated, including the kings of Kummuh, Quwê, Carchemish and Gurgum. Bit Agusi was never repopulated.

Q: How to to have curve corner in flutter like the file attached using clip path or any other widget? How to have a curve corner at the top and right and left

in flutters like the file attached using clip-path or any other widget? I am trying to curve the corner in the container widget with a child called clip-path. Please anyone can guide me. Is there any other widget to curve the corner? This cannot be done with the border-radius in box decoration.
class ClipPathClass extends CustomClipper<Path> {
  @override
  Path getClip(Size size) {
    Path path = Path();

    path.moveTo(size.width / 2, 0);
    path.quadraticBezierTo(size.width, size.height, size.width, size.height);
    path.lineTo(size.width, size.height);

    path.lineTo(0, size.height);

    path.close();
    return path;
  }

  @override
  bool shouldReclip(covariant CustomClipper<Path> oldClipper) => false;

During the summers of 1963 and 1964, I had summer time season jobs with the Racine County Highway Department in Wisconsin. When a school does not deliver the promised coaching to a pupil, not solely is the scholar being defrauded, however so is the Department of Education and the very taxpayers who're offering these dollars. June 20, 2013: The Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education agrees to form a activity energy to take a look at what the state's policies have to be with regard to sharing personal pupil knowledge must be.
No cash to construct new colleges, hire more lecturers, faculty students are compelled to attend faculties the place overcrowding completely impacts scholar studying and academics are pressured to spend extra time on disciplining than on educating, usually. Fortune School of Education has been diligently working to update their purposes primarily based mostly on the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing's ever-altering necessities. I assume residence school is a superb selection, If dad and mother are concerned with socializing the scholar. For-earnings fill these footwear since public training has allow us to down severely in that space.
Be conscious, nonetheless, that if you're deciding whether to file an inside complaint (with district/college), or to file with the United States Department of Education (USDOE), California Department of Education (CDE) and even your native grand jury, there may be limitations on whether or not or not those our bodies will settle for a grievance if a formal grievance is already proceeding at a district.
As a part of his State of Education Address before the General Assembly on March 30, Education Commissioner Ken Wagner outlined a plan to strengthen neighborhood colleges to supply every pupil a chance to succeed. You can do it, you just have to use this to your loans and you will be debt free in a short time. Without an enormous change in the best way in which that interior metropolis dwellers view schooling it could possibly in no way improve.
Other businesses of education notably, the mother and father, religious our bodies and the group exercise quite a lot of indirect management on the college system they usually all mix to make the system workable and productive. These are few of the numerous questions that the mother and father and school college students ask the department of training on a regular basis. There is life after the USN and jobs are ready unfilled in lots of generating crops…so many people old dudes able to retire quickly.

Knowledge of demographic parameters of most cetacean populations is scarce because of problems associated with sampling open populations of wide-ranging animals. In recent years, capture–recapture models have been developed to address these problems. We used a photo-identification dataset collected from a population of bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus between 1999 and 2004 around 2 islands of the Azores archipelago, to demonstrate the use of some of these methods. A variety of open models and Pollock's robust design were applied to estimate population size, survival probability and emigration rates. Using only the estimates with the lowest coefficients of variation, the annual abundance of adult dolphins varied between 202 (95% CI: 148 to 277) and 334 (95% CI: 237 to 469), according to the Jolly-Seber method, and between 114 (95% CI: 85 to 152) and 288 (95% CI: 196 to 423), according to the robust design. The number of subadult individuals varied from 300 (95% CI: 232 to 387) to 434 (95% CI: 316 to 597) based on the Jolly-Seber method. The open models yielded estimates of adult survival (0.970 ± 0.029 SE) that were significantly higher than those for subadults (0.815 ± 0.083 SE). Movement patterns of dolphins in the Azores seem to follow a Markovian model, in which dolphins seen in the study area in 1 yr show higher probability of emigrating in the following year. Despite some limitations, this is the first study to model transience and temporary emigration in a dolphin population.

BBC films JK Rowling novel The Casual Vacancy on location in Bristol
Filming took place partly in Bristol in the west of England for the BBC's new three-part TV drama The Casual Vacancy, based on JK Rowling's adult novel. Bristol has become a popular western England filming location and shoots are frequently based at The Bottle Yard Studios.
The Casual Vacancy follows class strife and family conflict in an apparently idyllic country village.
"The Bristol Film Office were fantastically helpful in helping us identify places to film and in many other ways too; identifying our needs and connecting the production team to reliable local suppliers," said producer Ruth Kenley-Letts: "With so many locations required for the production, their support was invaluable!"
Added Natalie Moore of the Bristol Film Office: "It was a pleasure to welcome Brontë Film and Television to Bristol last year for the filming of this highly anticipated new drama.
"Bristol has a fantastic track record as a location for TV drama, we are a film-friendly city that works hard to assist production teams, by helping with locations searches, putting them in touch with local partners and supplying all the permissions needed to ensure filming runs smoothly."
More productions are choosing Bristol and its surrounds as a filming location, aided in part by the UK's TV tax credit which has made England and Wales more economically feasible.
Recent high-profile productions shooting in the area have included period dramas New Worlds and Wolf Hall, plus the Disney fantasy series Galavant and the upcoming Poldark. The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol have quickly become popular as both a filming facility and a production base.
Bristol also offers easy access to South Wales, where the BBC bases Doctor Who and its long-running medical drama Casualty.
The Casual Vacancy starts on BBC One on 15 February 2015.

Due to its sheer size in nearly everything from food to fashion, Austin, Texas, a prominent city in the United States, has managed to live up to its state's slogan over the years – everything's bigger in Texas. For most visitors of the city, they find out this constantly rings true, as a huge list of tourist activities always awaits any vacationer looking to explore this historic city.
Austin is the capital of Texas, located near the center of the southern state, and has been one of America's fastest-growing cities since 2000. While the rest of the country and much of the world took a huge financial hit during the recent - and still going - recession, cities like Austin managed to avoid the fallout due to a few reasons.
For starters, Austin isn't heavily regulated by government influence. The lack of red tape via city planners' overeager interference has left Austin and the rest of Texas free to grow. Texas, as a single state, produces more jobs than the other 49 states, and does so with lower tax rates and more personal freedoms than anywhere else in the entire U.S.

Six Steps For Finding LGBT-Friendly Employers
Employment law is the next frontier in LGBT rights in the U.S. Here's how to find LGBT-friendly employers while that battle rages.
[Photo: Larry Gatz/Getty Images]
By Beth P. Zoller 4 minute Read
In a recent lawsuit backed by the Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a transgender woman secured a $115,000 settlement from her employer after being harassed, barred from using the correct restroom, prevented from changing her name and gender on employment records, and denied coverage for medically necessary procedures.
Same-sex marriage may be legal in the U.S., but there are plenty of places where Americans can still get fired for being gay or transgender. The fight for equality based on gender identity and sexual orientation has emerged as a new battleground for employment rights.
As that struggle plays out, many LGBT job seekers are hard-pressed to find work at employers that won't just honor their rights but welcome and support them. Here's a guide finding LGBT-friendly employers in that evolving landscape.
1. Look For Signs Of An Already Diverse Workforce
One of your first tactics should be looking for evidence of employers that already have diverse workforces–and want you to know about it. Check companies' published mission statements and assess their overall public profile. Look for the organizations and charities they support. Survey the uppermost ranks of management for minorities and women.
You should also check the type of communication the company shares on its website and on social media. Does the employer explicitly convey pride in being inclusive and respectful of all the people it employs and the customers it serves? Larger companies in urban areas may naturally be more diverse since they're able draw from a wider talent pool. But employers that truly value diversity usually want to make that pretty clear no matter where they're located.
2. Check Employers' Recent History
In addition to looking into how a company represents itself, do your research in other sources, too. Check trade journals and publications to see how the employer has been covered in the press. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation also publishes a Corporate Equality Index highlighting LGBT-friendly employers. Look to see how an employer you're considering stacks up.
Look for the organizations and charities they support. Survey the uppermost ranks of management for minorities and women.
You should also run a few Google searches into the employer's litigation history. If the company has been involved in any lawsuits over employment issues, that may be a red flag.
3. Seek Out Official Diversity And Employment Policies
Employers that are rightly proud of their commitment to diversity hold themselves out as "equal employment opportunity" employers. For those that do, you can usually find a note to this effect in job listings, promotional material for job seekers, and on the company's website.
Seek out companies with zero-tolerance policies for discrimination, harassment, and retaliation by reviewing company handbooks and policies. If you can't get your hands on those resources through the HR department, ask about the training opportunities available to employees and supervisors on diversity issues. It's also important to look into whether a company has a reasonable accommodation policy and how it responds to accommodation requests.
The point is that an employer needs to back up its public brand with concrete policies it sticks to.
4. Consider The Benefits On Offer
A company that's LGBT-friendly and diverse will often pride itself on offering benefits that appeal to a wide variety of employees. Those might include comprehensive health care coverage–including coverage for same-sex spouses or partners–as well as different types of leave, such as paid family leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, and paid sick leave.
5. Ask About Employee Resource Groups
Some companies have specific employee resource or affinity groups geared toward LGBT employees, offering in-house opportunities to meet and network with each other and discuss common workplace challenges. These groups can further serve as a way to reduce feelings of isolation, reduce turnover, increase employee engagement. They can also serve as safe havens to air grievances and discuss any issues arising with coworkers or supervisors. Employees can trade valuable advice with those who might've experienced similar issues and pick up some practical solutions.
6. Showcase Your Own Skills And Qualifications
There's one important caveat here, though: In job applications and during interviews, LGBT candidates should make sure to focus on their unique talents, skills, and qualifications–there's no reason or need to divulge gender identity or sexual orientation. An individual's decision to come out should be on their own terms–especially at a time when legal protections for these categories are far from universal and disclosure can open you up to discrimination. This is something LGBT-friendly employers are sensitive to and should always understand and respect.
These Are The Most (And Least) LGBT-Friendly Workplaces In The U.S.
Apple, Etsy, Nike, And 65 Other Companies Want North Carolina's Anti-LGBT Law Blocked
Here's Everywhere In America You Can Still Get Fired For Being Gay Or Trans
Stanford's New Leadership Boot Camp Helps LGBT Professionals Climb The Corporate Ladder
So if you're reluctant to share this type of information–for any reason at all–but still want to learn more about an employer's approach to LGBT employees, ask more general questions about benefits, EEO policies, and diversity initiatives, then see how the answers you get square with the rest of your research.
Fortunately, employers are increasingly recognizing the need to be inclusive of all types of employees during the hiring process–as just one way to attract and retain top talent in a job market where that's arguably getting harder to do. For LGBT job seekers, the clues you're looking for are for the most part closer to hand than they've ever been. And the easier they are to find, the better the indication that you've located an LGBT-friendly employer.

Don't let complicated ingredients put you off getting involved in smoothie making!! Here are three recipes which use only 3 ingredients (with some ideas about extras if you want to jazz it up even more).
You've always got to get a green one in there! This isn't too complicated, and isn't as sweet as the others but we like it and it really does always give us a boost and keep us full as it is very low in natural sugars. This uses water as a base but you could also use coconut water.
Optional extras: chia seeds, protein powder, spirulina or wheatgrass powder (if you really want it green and aren't too screamish about the taste), banana or mango for a bit of added sweetness.
This one will make you feel like you should be on a beach…perfect for those with a sweet tooth who aren't as keen on green drinks. This uses water as a base as the yoghurt makes it creamy.
Optional extras: protein powder, maca powder (for an energy boost), and a sprinkling of turmeric for anti-inflammatory properties which are set off by the enzymes in the pineapple (this info is verified by Neil's Yard).
Optional extras: if you like it extra sweet then maple syrup goes really well, nut butter adds extra flavour and can make it more 'nutella' like, cinnamon goes well especially if you're heating it up, and as we've mentioned in all of the above…protein powder goes well in this.

The trouble with most cherry sodas is that they are enjoyable in an artificial lollipop sort of way, and have nothing at all to do with the flavor of fresh cherries. Enter Andrew Schloss, author of Homemade Soda and creator of this fantastic Sour Cherriade that smacks of fresh cherry flavor.
Instead of opting for sour cherries, those elusive sour treats that are only available for a few months out of the year, Schloss went with the more readily available sweet variety. To mimic that great sour flavor, Schloss adds a few tablespoons of red wine vinegar as well as a bit of almond extract, a sneaky touch that does wonders to accentuate the stone fruitiness of the cherries. Puréed together and strained, the sugar-simmered cherries, vinegar, and almond extract add up to a concentrate that tastes like fresh sour cherries with just the slightest hint of sweetness. Added to seltzer or carbonated in a soda siphon, this Sour Cherriade is great on ice—a splash of gin is optional.
Adapted from Homemade Sodas by Andrew Schloss. Copyright © 2011. Published by Storey Publishing. Available wherever books are sold. All Rights Reserved.
For the Cherry Purée: Combine the cherries and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring often until the cherries are soft and have released their juice. Purée in a blender or food processor, and then strain; you should have about 2 cups of smooth purée. Stir in the vinegar and almond extract.
The purée will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but will be best if used immediately.
To mix with seltzer: Pour 2/3 cup cherry purée into a tall glass. Add 2/3 cup seltzer and stir until just blended. Add ice and serve.
To carbonate with a siphon: Combine 2 cups water and 1 full batch cherry purée in a 1-quart soda siphon. Charge with CO2 according to the manufacturer's directions. Siphon charged sodas can be stored in the siphon in a refrigerator for up to 5 days. Dispense as desired into tall glasses filled with ice and serve.

Water Sports Betting
ByAuthor Dave
Use Your hips
Many of the technical parts in a good stroke come from canoe paddling because canoe paddling and canoe strokes have been practiced and refined for hundred, perhaps thousands of years. Extending your arm all the way forward, twisting the upper torso towards the extended arm, bending at the waist slightly to extend all the way forward, extending the shoulder itself forward to get absolutely every inch of reach you possibly can. All of these are vital to maximizing your potential, and any good canoe paddling coach will pound them into your practice. But there is one thing you won't hear from canoe paddling coaches because its unique to Standup Paddling. Using your hips.
Hip movement is an overlooked but critical element of thrusting forward. I like to tell people to envision pulling yourself to the paddle as opposed to pulling the paddle to you. The main reasons for this is because when you envision pulling yourself to the paddle, you will naturally try to pull your whole body to the paddle. By default that means pulling your hips( or your center of mass) up to the paddle, whereas when you try to pull the paddle to you, you will automatically drop the hips back and anchor them there so that you can pull the paddle to you, just as you would pull a rope in a "tug of war". What's the difference between the two? Pulling your body to the paddle creates forward momentum, pulling the paddle to you doesn't.
As always, you need to exaggerate the movement to feel it's effect, and then add it to your conscious practice. As you do that it will pattern into muscle memory and become part of your stroke. To integrate the hips thrust them forward while you are pulling on the paddle, so that as the shoulders and torso pull back the hips thrust forward and meet in an upright body position. You will feel the board thrust forward as the movement draws your feet under your hips and you straighten. Just thrusting the hips into the stroke at any random moment won't do much. It has to be synchronized with the pull of the paddle, so that your maximum point of hip thrust corresponds with your maximum amount of pull on the paddle. That hip thrust can easily account for an extra inch or two of forward movement per stroke. Again, as an individual action it doesn't account for to much, but when added up over thousands of strokes it can begin to make a significant difference.
In pure flatwater paddling or long distances you won't use this stroke element constantly, it uses your large central muscles which burn a lot of energy. But if you practice the movement so you can engage it smoothly over the length of a sprint it can help you catch bumps for down wind. In sprint races it can be your ace in the hole, that lets you break away from the pack, or pass your rival before the finish.
Best of luck with integrating this into your stroke. I know these fine tuning elements can be hard to master through a written description. I've had a lot of success in teaching these refinements at Kalama Kamps and individual training sessions. It's really interesting to see how much faster people can paddle when they pull together all these bits–even in a single day of instruction. If you visit Maui remember I am available for one on one coaching when my schedule allows. The winter big wave season makes that a little more difficult to coordinate, but if you're interested just contact me through the "Contact Dave" tab at the top of the page or just fill in the Contact Dave form in the sidebar.

On my recent reunion trip, one of the stops of interest was the local museum. Tacked to the wall, I found these following rules for teacher. I've seen variations of these before and some dismiss them as urban myth, probably because they are not written into the contract. The teacher didn't have to agree to them, he/she simply had to follow them!
Each teacher will bring a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the days session.
Make your pens carefully. You may whittle nibs to the individual taste of each student.
Men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes or two evenings each week if they go to church regularly.
After 10 hours in school, teachers may spend the remaining time reading the Bible or other good books.
Any teacher who smokes, uses liquor in any form, frequents pool or public halls, gets shaved in a barbershop will give reason to inspect his worth, intention, integrity and honesty.
I understand about the pool hall — well known as a den of iniquity — but I'm curious about the barbershop. Surely a male teacher was expected to be well-groomed. Was a shave in the barbershop unthrifty and therefore might contravene rule number 7? Did men gossip at the barbershop? Maybe it was the fear of barbershop singing!
You MUSt be home between the hours of 8pm and 6am unless attending a school function.
You MAY NOT travel beyond the city limits without the permission of the Chairman of the Board.
You MAY NOT ride in a carriage or an automobile with any man unless he is your father or brother.
You MAY NOT dress in bright colours.
You may, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, dye your hair.
sweep the floor at least twice day.
So now the ice cream store is as unsavoury as the barbershop.
I find these two lists interesting in that the first seems aimed primarily at men, while the second clearly has women in its sights. No doubt the lists reflect the increasing number of women employed as school teachers, but I wonder if it is also is a result of the presence of women on the school board. What all male school board would mention women's petticoats, let alone dictate the number of them? In the 1890's Manitoba became the first jurisdiction in Canada to allow women to vote in municipal elections and to hold office on the school board. In 1895 Helen Mary "Marie" Grant was appointed the first female school trustee in Canada.


Want to extend the space your van offers? You need a Camper Shack!
Thanks for a great review Richard.
"Awesome bit of kit! I bought the packashack for my LWB VW T5 with a tailgate so that I could take the children camping as I have a bed platform in the back and wanted an affordable way of extending the space in the van.
The Camper Shack worked perfectly and was a breeze to put up.
Extra standing and changing space at the back of the van made the space inside even more useable. I also intend to use it for my MTB trips as a space to get changed in after a wet or muddy ride.
