Brunet-García has earned five Tellys from the 38th Annual Telly Awards. The agency received two Silver Tellys and three Bronze Tellys this year, bringing the total to 26 for the Jacksonville, Florida-based advertising agency.
"The winning work is a snapshot of our diverse production projects over the past year—including animation, scripted commercial and live-action unscripted documentary work—for both local and national clients," said Aerien Mull, Brunet-García associate creative director. "It's always a pleasure to work on projects like these that allow us to truly partner with our clients to find innovative ways to share their story."
A prestigious judging panel of more than 500 accomplished industry professionals, each a past winner of a Silver Telly and a member of The Silver Telly Council, judged the competition. The Silver Council evaluated entries to recognize distinction in creative work, entries do not compete against each other, rather entries are judged against a high standard of merit. Less than 10 percent of entries are chosen as Winners of the Silver Telly.
"Misty's Story," which received a Silver Telly in the PSA category and a Bronze Telly for Individual Documentary, tells the story of Misty Morgan who received healthcare career training and resources through Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) administered by the Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
"Raising awareness for government programs and nonprofits like HPOG is already rewarding," said Kate Jolley, Brunet-García senior account manager. "To be honored for our hard work is both an exciting and welcomed bonus."
See the Girl
See the Girl received a Bronze Telly in the low budget category. See the Girl is a community engagement campaign built in collaboration with the Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center in Jacksonville, Florida. The Policy Center works to conduct research and evoke policy change to help young women facing incarceration and those who are already in the system. The video portrays real women assisted by Policy Center programs.
"The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video," said Linda Day, executive director of the Telly Awards. "Brunet-García's accomplishment illustrates their creativity, skill, and dedication to their craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production."

The Telly Awards was founded in 1979 to honor excellence in local, regional and cable TV commercials. Non-broadcast video and TV program categories were soon added. Today, the Telly is one of the most sought-after awards by industry leaders, from large international firms to local production companies and ad agencies. With the quality of non-broadcast productions, traditional local & cable television commercials and programming on the rise, along with the world of online video continuing to rapidly evolve, we are excited to see this year's class of entries.

In addition to the above, a copy of the cargo stowage plan for the voyage should be kept with the contingency plan together with copies of the certificates of quality of the cargo or other documentation containing details of its basic properties. Bunker quantities and disposition details should also be kept with the plan.
Depending on the trades in which a particular ship is engaged, details of the characteristics of the oils likely to be carried and their fate under different climatic and sea conditions could also be usefully included in the contingency plan.

Wait till Windows 10 Creators Update is offered to you, says Microsoft
From April 11th, 2017; Microsoft started rolling out the Windows 10 Creators Update for Windows 10 devices. However, this procedure is done in phases, as there are millions of Windows 10 users across the globe. The new machines will get the Creators Update first and then the other devices. This will help the software team to tackle any issues with the Creators Update. Hence, Microsoft is requesting all the Windows 10 users to wait for the Creators Update to roll out automatically.
Rolling out Windows 10 Creators Update in phases
One of the major tasks Microsoft is carrying out during this rollout is to listen to the feedback from users. Since Microsoft is making the update available for fewer devices earlier, it will be easy for the software giant to rule out any issues. As the Windows team mentioned at the time of the first phase of the Creators Update rollout,
"… This allows us to provide high-quality experiences for the broadest set of users, while also continually increasing the quality and security of Windows 10. Just today we released a cumulative update based on insider and early adopter feedback that includes fixes for such issues as driver compatibility for connecting to specific printers."
Thus, the Windows team is able to tackle any issues that the users may face with the new Windows 10 Creators Update.
Microsoft has all the plans to roll out the updates in phases. According to their master plan, when a Windows 10 device gets eligible for the Windows 10 Creators Update, Microsoft will roll out the update automatically. This is more advantageous, as there will be lesser issues with the updated versions.
However, Windows team doesn't want millions of users to wait for the Windows 10 Creators Update to come to them after a long wait. Hence, the team also allowed to get the updates manually. Those who are using a licensed version of the Windows 10 operating system, can get the updates and also install it from Software Download website.
When the users post any issue they are facing with Windows 10 Creators Update, the team offers one of the following solutions:
Document the issue and provide users more information on the issue, potential user impact, and (in some cases) specific guidance including troubleshooting or workaround/remediation guidance. You can find more information via our support channels, including the Windows community forum.
Update Windows itself, or work with a PC, accessory, or ISV app partner to post a driver or compatibility update.
Deploy a "block" to prevent further rollout of the Creators Update to impacted devices until an issue is resolved.
However, despite these solutions, Microsoft's team is still urging the users to wait for the automatic updates so that they will face lesser issues. When your device becomes eligible for the Creators Update rollout, you'll be prompted to make some important choices on your privacy settings before the Creators Update can install, says Microsoft.

Is this the leaf mine of Parallelomma paridis?
I came across many mined leaves of Paris quadrifolia in a small wood close to Shrewsbury on 31 July 08. I guess they must be Parallelomma paridis, but having never seen the mines before I am not 100% sure. Can anyone confirm?
Re: Is this the leaf mine of Parallelomma paridis?
I don't think so. P. paridis makes a large blotch mine in the centre of the leaf. The few I have seen do not look like this.
Thanks Stuart. I'll keep looking.

Why MCOT's teapots are better?
Our glass tea wares are manufactured by our exclusive supplier. Glasses are non-elastic; hence it can support boiling water up to 120°C.
All our glass teapots are hand made; hence not a single one is identical. Experts blow air into the glass to give a romantic shape to the teapot.
Once the shape is blown, our experts use their hands to define little details and finalize the whole tea pot.
Due to the fact that the double layer cups (50 ml) are made out of blown glass, they all have a little hole underneath. If you steep into water for excessive time, water might infiltrate and get stuck between the two layers. Therefore, this is what you should do when it unfortunately happens (not all the time).
-Puor boiling water into the cup and the liquid will come out by itself according to the law of temperature. As temperature increases, air molecules will expand to push the water out.
-Then gently tap the bottom of the cup with a towel or napkin to remove the little drop left.

Spotlight on: P.S. Kaguya
P.S. Kaguya is a plus-size model and sex-positive influencer based in NYC. She describes herself as "forever fighting and aiming for inclusiveness in the modeling world, not only as a model but as a first-generation Korean American." Below, Kaguya discusses self-confidence, lingerie and inclusivity in the modeling industry.
What does confidence mean to you?
Feeling good in my skin and feeling like I can take over the world!
What is your relationship to lingerie?
In the beginning, I found it more as a device to just cover and hold things in, hoping for it to be functional; but now, as I have grown to love my body, I see it as an extension of me. I incorporate lingerie in the bedroom, but I also combine it with everyday looks where I can feel sexy and cute with just a pair of jeans.
Do you find lingerie affects your body confidence in any way?
Definitely! Everyone wears lingerie for different reasons, but comfort is the absolute most important to me. If I find that a lingerie piece doesn't fit or sit right on my body - no matter how sexy it may look - that's a "no" for me.
What makes you feel sexiest?
When I have a matching lingerie set underneath my clothes ;)
What is missing from the lingerie market?
More extensive sizing and being able to have the same styles and designs available for bodies that are bigger than a size 12-14.
Do you see yourself reflected and represented in fashion?
Yes and no. As I have been in the industry for 6 years, behind the camera and now in front, I've definitely seen the progression of the fashion industry and brands wanting to be more inclusive for marketing purposes. But I feel there is still a lot that needs to be done. I don't really see girls of my background and body shape with imperfect stretch marks and tattoos with alternative styling. I find that if I don't see what I want to see, then it's my own duty to show it off myself. Fashion should always be forward no matter how many times it has been recycled, and it should always have new perspectives.
fit process.
50+ bra & lingerie sizes.

'Ghosts' In The Arctic: How The Long-Lost Franklin Expedition Was Found
By Steve Inskeep
Published March 21, 2017 at 3:48 AM CDT
This sketch, by Commander May R.N., circa 1853, depicts one the missions to find the Franklin expedition, which vanished in 1845.
The last time I talked with Paul Watson, I reached him aboard a Canadian Coast Guard Icebreaker in the Arctic, via satellite phone.
"The captain was glaring at me because we talked for a long time," Watson remembers with a laugh.
That was three years ago, and Watson, a columnist for The Toronto Star, was alongside archaeologists who had just located one of two sunken ships lost in the Franklin Expedition, back in the 1840s.
"It's chilling really to look at it," Watson told me. "The ship is almost completely intact. The only thing that's missing is her three masts, which presumably had been sheared off by moving ice over the years."
Sir John Franklin led the ill-fated expedition of two British crews that vanished while seeking a passage through the ice over the top of the world.
In the years that followed, expeditions from Britain and America went searching for the missing ships. "They interviewed Inuit hunters, people who had traveled widely in the area, and asked them what they knew," Watson explained. "And there were consistent stories of essentially a ghost ship which had floated on ice southward and separated from where the two ships had been abandoned, imprisoned in ice."
Watson says he hadn't been terribly interested in the Franklin expedition before he embarked on that expedition. "I wasn't expecting anything to happen," he admits.
But that all changed when a helicopter pilot — who was on the lookout for polar bears — spotted a large iron object leaning against a rock. It turned out to be a winch from one of Franklin's ships.
"It really seeps into your blood," says Watson. There are people who've spent their lives searching for the lost ships, he says: "I became one of those people obsessed with the mystery at that moment of discovery."
Watson's new book is called Ice Ghosts: The Epic Hunt for the Lost Franklin Expedition.
On Franklin's wife, Lady Jane Franklin
She was extraordinarily assertive, and literally forced the admiralty — which was the body that oversaw the great Royal Navy in the Victorian era — literally forced them to go looking for her husband and his lost men. ... They kept saying: It's too early, it's OK, they have enough food, and you needn't worry ma'am.
She had an inkling, as others did, that something had gone wrong, and she persisted — even to the point of writing a very personal letter to the then-president of the United States, Zachary Taylor. It's extraordinary the way she both plays on politics and on matters of the heart to try to persuade the president of the United States to help her go looking for her husband.
On how she finally got the U.S. to help
The card that she played effectively with the U.S. government in her letter was the Russians — which is interesting because we're back, sort of, to that discussion even today in the Arctic — in other words: If you can help me find my husband and his men, you may find the Northwest Passage and that wouldn't be such a bad thing, because if you don't do it, the Russians or the British might beat you to it.
An expedition was eventually sent to help the British, but the commander was explicitly told by the Navy: Don't waste too much time looking for Franklin, we're more interested in finding the Northwest Passage.
On what became of the Franklin crew members who left their ships and trudged across the ice to land in hope of rescue
Skeletons have been found, numerous artifacts have been found — not Sir John Franklin himself — and there are people who believe ... that Sir John may in fact be buried up there still. The obsession with Southerners [people who live south of the Arctic] has been in finding those ships because there are artifacts to be found, perhaps human remains, perhaps even notes sealed in a way that they could still be legible — so archaeologists, historians, have been focused on finding those wrecks.

On listening to the Arctic
The Arctic has something to tell us ... And I'm getting perhaps a bit spiritual here, but the Inuit especially believe that there are spirits of their ancestors, there are spirits that live in the sea, that walk the land, and if you disrespect them, you will suffer greatly for it. ...
The first book I wrote was a book called Where War Lives, and it's a war memoir, and in it, I describe a moment where I believe the spirit of a dead American soldier on the streets of Mogadishu in 1993 spoke to me and — so I'm open to the possibility. ....
But when you stand alone, as I have, out on the ice and you're alone with the world, you have a very strong sense of something around you that you don't understand. It's a very real power that comes over you.

Note this is the second in a series of blogs, I'm writing on the topic of WebRTC, the focus of this one is the gaming applications of WebRTC. For an overview of WebRTC click here and for a tutorial on DataChannels - here. Large sections of this one however are taken from an essay, I wrote on the subject of camera feeds in WebRTC. You can see the original application here.
WebRTC is a project focused on bringing Real Time Communication (RTC) to the web, currently in draft status the W3C considers it "neither complete nor stable, and assuch is not yet suitable for commercial implementation. However, earlyexperimentation is encouraged." Despite being at such an early stage much of the WebRTC project is supported by Chrome and Firefox's developer editions and in fact some aspects of the project have made it into a stable release for Google Chrome. Whilst a project focusing on real time communication may not initially sound like it lends itself particularly well to gaming, it opens up several doors for game developers. Some key aspects of the project are creating an API for accessing feeds from cameras and microphones connected to the device and creating a robust set of tools for streaming audio, video and data on a peer-to-peer basis between browsers.
The console industry has recently been seen to obsess over cameras and motion capture and control, further having seen Playstation 4's stereo camera and 'light bar' controller it is safe to assume this will continue at least into the start of the next generation of gaming. In light of this, allowing browsers access to video streams has a lot of potential for gaming applications over the next few years. Similarly, with the popularity of online gaming constantly on the up a simple way of creating fast, peer-to-peer data connections and audio streaming should open a lot of doors. It'd be fair to expect the web app sector to follow similar patterns to the mobile and social sectors in creating low cost or freemium apps, in which case a core focus should be making these available to the much wider market of social gamers who traditionally won't have access to the same high speed internet connections as is expected of core gamers.
To this end I created a proof-of-concept in the area of using WebRTC for gaming applications, as suggested in the WebRTC draft it is an experiment and given the specification is considered incomplete could not be considered a commercially viable product at this time. That being said, the application seeks to emulate the motion gaming experiences of the previous generation, it is particularly influenced by the EyeToy series of games (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, 2003-2008) for the Playstation 2, which - quite like this application - only assumed access to a single camera with no infrared depth detection or stereo images.
The web app's main goals are to utilise the WebRTC API as it currently exists in Google Chrome to access the user's camera feed, from here the application takes images from the video feed into a rendering surface where it can be accessed at a per pixel level using HTML5 Canvas routines. This access is used to check for movement within the image and create a "heat map" of movement which can later be used by games. Finally, a basic menu system and game is implemented on top of this technology to show its success and the live video feed is augmented with game components then displayed to the user.
The application currently only works in Chrome v23 and up and as with all camera based games requires some setting up, firstly ensure the environment is appropriate for playing, the player will preferably stand back a few feet from the camera, however as long as the players body does not extend too far out of the centre of the screen the game should be playable. In fact, the game includes a transparent outline of a human body which suggests roughly where the player should be on screen. Secondly the lighting conditions whilst not very strict may need some adjusting, generally the player should be under an even light, the room should neither be too dark nor too bright and it is preferable if the light source is in front of the player.
At its heart this project, seeks to very simply highlight the possibilities provided to game developers by some of the inclusions in the WebRTC project and as such it would be beneficial to reflect on ways in which the technology could be further advanced both within the original game application and looking more widely at other ways in which the aspects of WebRTC could be furthered in games and other relevant applications. As earlier mentioned there are two really exciting aspects of the real time communications project, as well as the access to audio and video feeds which is demonstrated in this application, the work done around peer-to-peer networking and streaming is quite exciting and some applications of this will also be investigated further.
However, instead of developing the augmented reality part of this application there is a lot of potential in looking more at the motion capture, whilst there don't appear to be any games that focus so explicitly on advanced motion tracking as a feature it can be used to make interaction much more intuitive and this has been explored in a number of gaming and non-gaming platforms. Kinect for Xbox 360 highlights most of these uses, at the most basic level being able to recognise a human figure would allow for much simpler UI interactions – the player might be able to just hover their hand over a button rather than constantly making motion over it, as is required in the application currently. Similarly, by tracking the motion of a limb rather than acknowledging that something moved in a certain area more accuracy could be achieved in collision response creating a more immersive game. Finally, in a lot of game types recognising and tracking the player rather than tracking basic motion would go a long way towards making it harder to cheat in the game.
Another development in the area of motion tracking which has recently gained some traction is the focus on tracking aspects of the face, this was somewhat popularised by Samsung in its "Smart Stay" feature for the Galaxy S 3 generation of mobile devices which kept the screen on in whilst the phones user was looking at it, allowing the user to read a full article without worrying about the screen timing out. This was further developed in the recently released S4 generation of devices which included "Smart Scroll" and "Smart Pause" which intends to scroll down the screen as the user reads to the bottom and pauses videos when the user looks away respectively. Whilst the implementation of Smart Scrolling could be useful on any blog or website that requires excessive reading, it could be very interesting if this were brought into gaming. For example in the application for this project it could be interesting if the player was simply required to look at each corner to select that token. This would also be a good way of bringing the player closer to the screen for the game, instead of being required to move back to avoid accidentally brushing a token with their arm. Beyond that, charities like Special Effect which work to make games available to people who traditionally can't play them due to disability would be able to use such a system to revolutionise delivery of their work, which currently revolves around loaning people the user input devices necessary to make these styles of play possible. It also doesn't seem entirely unfeasible given the existence of OpenGazer, an open source application for tracking gaze which has in fact already gained support from Samsung.
The second key aspect of the WebRTC project is the peer-to-peer (P2P) networking aspect of it, designed for fast video and audio conference calling it comprises 2 different approaches. RTCPeerConnection is audio and video streaming component and is specifically designed for P2P streaming with functionality for coping with jitter and differing network conditions included in the connection by default to ensure a consistently good quality video stream. The component is only setup to accept audio and video streams however Chrome already supports sharing the browser window as a video stream and it's possible within the specification that this could evolve to sharing just the canvas or game window on a browser by browser basis which would increase the game applications of this connection. In the meantime however sharing of game screens isn't universally possible via RTCPeerConnection and instead RTCDataChannel is what should be really exciting, as this simply opens up a P2P connection between browsers purely for sending packets of data back and forth, the specification allows for "reliable" and "unreliable" connections which can be considered synonymous with "Transmission Control Protocol" and "User Datagram Protocol" meaning that this component can be considered useful to games requiring fast connections and reliable connections.
When combined with the camera feed there are some potentially interesting applications for the full WebRTC package. More and more companies are looking at games as an educational tool and the platform offered by WebRTC would make for an inexpensive and potentially easy to customise way of bringing these games to employees who aren't familiar with traditional gaming environments. In particular when dealing with soft skills such as teamwork and communication the ability to tightly control what information is available to each player and allow audio or even video based communication between players offers a lot of potential not only for enhanced learning but also for a greater degree of information to be passed back to trainers. In fact it's quite possible that the soft skills many employers desire could be included in WebRTC games in such a manner that people want to play the game for the game itself rather than the potential benefits, which is practically the holy grail of game based learning.
Continuing the educational theme WebRTC could be a brilliant platform for bringing games into the classroom at a young age, encouraging social skills amongst children at a very young level whilst providing a traditional early learning curriculum in the form of collaborative mini-games, this is very similar to what Edinburgh based games company Tigerface Games currently does, however these require a child on each side of an iPad collaborating on solving problems, which is expensive enough at home and it's currently quite unlikely that a school is going to be able to splash out on an iPad for every 2nd child in a class. However this browser based technology would allow children to work with existing computer labs or even from the comfort of their own home with classmates to develop basic literacy and numeracy, all the while being further introduced to technology at a young age which would begin to address to the decline in skill-sets of students seeking Computer Science degrees. A significant problem in the UK which has been acknowledged even at the highest levels of top companies such as Google and Microsoft, leading Google to donate 15,000 Raspberry Pi's to UK schools. Interestingly, the Raspberry Pi would be perfectly capable of running WebRTC games with the installation of a free Linux distribution and a cheap web cam.
However education isn't the be all and end all of WebRTC gaming, sometimes people just want to have fun and that can be further advanced by including the networking component, when playing the application with this game, depending on how far the player gets, they may notice that they find themselves making some silly poses in order to reach all of the tokens in time. In fact games like Start the Party (Sony Computer Entertainment, 2010) for Playstation 3 took advantage of this collecting screenshots of the player as they went through the game, then using them to provide a quick slideshow for some laughs at the end. Similarly, in bonus rounds the game permitted players to vandalise fellow players avatars with a free paint tool. In WebRTC pictures such as this could be forwarded through a Data Channel via the Data URI format or in fact with the users approval could be shared on social networks, which helps to promote the game and also allows friends to laugh over shared experiences long into the future.
So go! Have fun, experiment - and create awesome need motion controlled, AR, educational Web Games and let me know all about it below!

Is the organic church biblical? What is organic church?
Organic, or simple, church aims to pare Christian fellowship down to the most basic or natural activities in response to some modern church models that institute a wide variety of programs, build extensive buildings, hire professional staff, and work on a business-like model dependent on large budgets.
Christians who endeavor organic church base their philosophy on Acts 2 with individuals or families in small groups helping each other with spiritual growth, Bible study, ministry work, and comfort. Some, such as those described at organicchurch.org, say they want to avoid man-made religious systems along with the "baggage" that comes with current Christian church models.
Be mindful when investigating a church describing itself as organic as that word is used to describe valid fellowships, but also cults and other fringe groups. Look closely at any Christian group or church you want to join to see if they teach the Scriptures, hold to orthodox Christianity, and follow the Jesus of the New Testament.
Many, disillusioned with large, organized churches, are attracted to small, organic church examples. However, some say such simple church models stymie growth and eliminate evangelistic efforts. That criticism does not seem to be supported by history, which shows that churches forced underground and to very basic Christian activities due to persecution, grow. The more the enemy of the Church attacks, the more the Church grows. Jesus said, "… I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18).
Most organic-type churches hold Ephesians 4:11–13 as one cornerstone of their model. It reads, "And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ."
The organic church truly sees itself as a church defined by the people involved and the gifts bestowed on them by God, rather than a building or group of buildings where people meet. The organic church doesn't rely on seminaries, traditions, ecclesiastical documents, church creeds, hymn books, or worship bands. Each organic church member contributes through teaching, shepherding, evangelizing, and other roles and gifts to grow the maturity and members of the church.

Is a home / house church biblical?

May, dominated by Taurus, the first fixed sign, is a time of power with more than one special portal. As for the stars, at this moment of ominous change, the transits and lunations call us to use our potency for collective concerns.
…Taurus was an immensely dynamic time, marked by celebration and prayers. People did not see Earth as a passive, inert, heavy mass, and did not interpret Taurus in the… stodgy terms later astrologers… use.
Far from being passive and yielding, she could unleash devastating powers… She was the Goddess with absolute power of life and death over all….
Some researchers consider Taurus to have been the month of the cow, not the bull. The Greek Minotaur was her guardian and consort.
As May begins, certain portals concentrate her special powers.
As the month begins, the power of our intent, and inward connections in general, are spotlighted by the retrograde motion of four planets: mental Mercury, believer Jupiter, worker Saturn, and Pluto the transformer.
These will remain retrograde throughout the month, except Mercury, who turns direct on May 3, though until May 22 it still traverses its post-retrograde shadow. This shadow phase of the planet of lower mind favors projects and intentions we started sometime before March 27.
When Mercury is in Aries, our thoughts are quick and our style is direct. We can review the decisions we've taken or wish to take on our own. With Uranus, planet of the higher mind, also in the sign of the Ram, there's kind of an I-can-do-it-myself-edge; not so great for cooperation but good for retrieving an original project we started or intention we seeded before March 27 and that somehow relates to our freedom.
On Friday, May 5, Sun reaches 15 Taurus, triggering the critical degree of the fixed signs…. Get the rest of the signs and the whole story now! Become a Premium Subscriber! Or, if you are already a Premium Subscriber, log in here.

Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber are likely best known for their roles as DJ Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler on Full House. Now it sounds like a Full House spinoff–starring Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber–may actually happen.
Netflix is working on the deal, which means the spinoff won't air on network TV, but fans of Full House would likely go to any lengths to see a spinoff of their beloved show.
Us Weekly reports that Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier–known for their roles as Danny Tanner, Uncle Jesse, and Uncle Joey, respectively, may make guest appearances on the spinoff.
Neither Candace Cameron Bure nor Andrea Barber has commented yet on the likelihood of a spinoff. The two have remained close friends since Full House ended back in 1995.
"I think we value friendships. And it's true: I can't look at any other show and see the casts that are still hanging out and are as tight as we are," Candace Cameron Bure told Us Weekly back in August of 2014.
"I think being moms really brought us closer together," Andrea Barber said at that time.
If the Full House spinoff comes to fruition, fans will get to see Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber in a 13-episode spinoff series.
Are you among those jumping up and down with excitement at the notion of DJ Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler appearing in a series together again?
Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber are both 38. Do you expect they'll still have the same appeal they had during their days on Full House?


Listening to this audio file you will hear the left and right hands beat together at 4 beats/measure for one measure.
Then at the start of the 2nd measure the right hand accelerates its beat rate speeding up by 3/2 beats per measure in each measure. This acceleration goes on for two measures until the rate of the right hand is 7 beats/measure. It takes 11 beats of the right hand to reach this new rate.
After reaching the new rate, the right hand stops accelerating and the two hands beat steadily, the left hand at 4 beats/measure; the right hand at 7 beats/measure.
MIT's freshman physics class uses edX materials. Among these was a sequence of "pre-class questions" and short articles intended to encourage students to read text materials and be aware of the basic features of the upcoming work that would be done in class.

John King's death has taken from us someone who fervently believed this. But "fooling around" does no justice to his striking ability to see the physics in simple everyday things — the glug-glug of water pouring from a jug, the sound of tearing paper, the burn-out of a lightbulb — and his remarkable ability to imagine and construct ingenious apparatus for exploring that physics.
This ability was manifest in all parts of his life whether setting up a generator system at his summer place in Maine, fixing the washing machine at home, devising a way to detect radiation emissions from a neighboring power plant, looking for a dipole moment of the electron or the spontaneous creation of protons, or generating microwaves with a spark-gap assembled from thumbtacks and a clothespin.
The pleasure and satisfaction that he got from devising simple apparatus to study everyday phenomena energized a life-long effort to get students, friends, colleagues, or passers-by to observe and explore the physical world around them. To him "hands-on fooling around with real stuff" was as natural as breathing. He wanted the rest of the world to learn to breathe as he did.

My son had some Mountain Warehouse Drift snow boos, which were brilliant but which he's now sadly outgrown. Some great choices here!
Yes my kids have such tiny narrow feet, so it's always tough finding them boots that won't be too big or rub. Great suggestions here.
Thanks for this post. My three just wear trainers at the moment but I have been thinking about investing in something a little more supportive for our weekend walks.
Such a handy post Jenny! I've always found it difficult to find sturdy kids boots in small sizes. Handily, we've had a Mountain Warehouse store open in our small Devon town recently. We must got try some out!
Sooooo important to have good boots! I just hate it they grow out of them so fast!
Such a great review and selection. Good, sturdy waking footwear is so important for those Browgro little feet! And timely for us too as we are just in the market for a pair for our oldest.


Alumni and friends of the University are warmly invited to a function in Canberra to reconnect and network with fellow graduates and Victoria staff.
Victoria's Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Engagement) Professor Frazer Allan will discuss recent initiatives and developments both at Victoria and within the alumni community.

Take your basic interpersonal conflict as an example. The issue is the way she treats me or he treats me. Why doesn't he or she treat me better? On the surface, it's not at all about what I might do differently, but what the other person ought to be doing or not doing. This is our defense: the other person's motives, attitudes, and behaviors are the source of the problem.
In a way, that could be completely true but here's also what I think is going on. The conflict comes dangerously close to revealing a part of ourselves we do not wish to see — our own jealousy or aggression, retaliation or some other embarrassing "weakness," however you or I might define it. We are aware at some primitive level that we can't lose in this conflict with another because then we'll have to face ourselves, and facing ourselves is the last thing we want to do. Even people who are somewhat addicted to their negative sides, who like showing up tortured by their own faults, are still prone to resist, if only by exaggerating one fault to cover up another.
"What have you done to try to resolve the situation?" I might ask.
The issue, then, is not the other person; it's self, the parts we do not wish to see, the parts that are outside our cherished beliefs about our identity; the parts that remain invisible and avoided, and because they remain there become increasingly immature as other parts of who we are continue to grow around them, like a tree growing around the old wound of an ax. Over time, I might get better at remaining calm in tense circumstances, for example, but still, if you go right into that tender place, if you get under my outer skin, the reaction is there. Please do not expose me!
And if this is all true, that we hate the people who consciously or inadvertently expose what's weak or immature about us, we too often choose to maintain our conflicts by repeatedly killing the messenger. We could even easily say with false wisdom: conflicts are a gift; their painful feedback is a gift. But, of course, that isn't actually so either; at least that's not how we, in fact, live when dealing with ourselves. There, in the real world, rather than in our fantasy versions of ourselves, our conflicts are nasty and any negative feedback likely creates a ton of stress, as evidenced by the long list of complaints about others our loved ones are sometimes forced to endure.
Better to step back all the way in order to reflect.
It is painful to see things about ourselves that are not so pleasant. We have in us more selfishness and violence and apathy about others than we ever like to admit. More self-pity and cowardice and victimization, too. And none of it feels good or right. When we see it; when it leaks out of us we're upset, embarrassed, disappointed.
It isn't that we are by nature bad (or actively evil as my Lutheran upbringing would recommend). It's that at bottom we hurt. It's that we have been hurt and have hurt others, too. The stories we hold onto about ourselves are all there, tucked away, in the scrapbook of our private, emotional lives, but there seem to be some pages we can't help but go back to time and again to relive. Better to sit quietly beneath the tree of life and examine that scrapbook thoroughly. That, I think, is how we learn, especially after being caught up in the losses human conflicts entail. It may not be such a pleasant moment, but it can be a good one, fulfilling in the end, and real.
The episode unfolds alternate realities for how both the accident victim — and Dr. Yang — might answer those questions. The questions, transparently, are also being asked of the audience.
I'd say, as we page through our scrapbooks, those are pretty good questions to help us sort out the all too real soap operas of our lives.

AFCON 2021: Why Referee, Janny Sikazwe Stopped Tunisia Vs Mali Early
Janny Sikazwe, the referee at the centre of the controversy at the end of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations match between Tunisia and Mali on Wednesday, was suffering from heat stroke and severe dehydration.
It has been revealed that Sikazwe was taken to hospital after the game.
Tunisia have appealed for their Group F opening fixture to be replayed, after Sikazwe blew the final whistle after just 85 minutes and then again 17 seconds before 90 minutes were up.
Mali eventually won the encounter 1-0.
AFCON's head of referees, Essam Abdel-Fatah, has now come out to defend the performance of Sikazwe, claiming he was suffering from the effects of the 34-degree heat level and 65 percent humidity in Limbe, Cameroon.
"The referee suffered from heat stroke and very severe dehydration, which led to him losing focus and was taken to the hospital.
"It caused him to lose time in the 80th minute, and he ended the match in the 85th minute. He returned after directions from the assistant staff and then returned to finish the match in the 89th minute.

"When the crisis occurred and the objections and control were lost in the match, the fourth referee was the one who was going to complete the match [instead of Sikazwe], but one of the two teams refused," Abdel-Fatah told MBC Egypt's Al-Laib.

Get ready for Reno 2016 – coming to you March 21-24! The 2016 Western Division AFS meeting in Reno feels like it's right around the corner, because it's right around the corner. This year's meeting will be held in Reno, NV at the Grand Sierra Resort (GSR) the week of March 21. Reno provides a wealth of recreational and cultural opportunities, both in town and the surrounding Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe, and Pyramid Lake. Considerable thought went into the host location, and the CA/NV Chapter hopes to better engage their Nevada members by having the meeting in Reno. As with any meeting, there are a lot moving parts and things are really ramping up. For instance, about 40 oral presentation and poster abstracts had been submitted about a week before the submission deadline, and now we have nearly 230 abstracts submitted. Oral presentations will be spread among 15 submitted symposia, a contributed papers session, and a student symposium for those vying for best student oral presentation. A pretty beefy poster session is also in the works and will include a best student poster contest. The Trade Show is starting to fill up and we're indebted to the generosity of sponsors that are stepping up to help provide financial support for the meeting, particularly the US Fish and Wildlife Service, several state agencies like Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, and several AFS Chapters like AZ/NM and OR. Committee chairs and members are cranking along lining up A/V equipment, getting squared away with the various socials, and putting finishing details on continuing education courses and field trips (http:// wd2016.fisheries.org/events/ workshops-trips/), spawning run (http:// wd2016.fisheries.org/events/ spawning-run/), and extracurricular activities.
2016 Meeting—Reno, Nevada If you are interested in attending Reno 2016, know that the GSR offered many perks and very reasonable room rates (http://wd2016.fisheries.org/travel-lodging/), and that we have a very slick website for the meeting (http://wd2016.fisheries.org/) that is continually being updated with the latest information. Joe Merz (Cal Neva President-Elect and meeting co-organizer) will be kicking off the plenary session that will focus on this year's theme: Fisheries, Society, and the Scientific Method: Challenging our Perception of Science, Policy, and Management.
Make sure to get in town on Monday for the opening social at the Discovery Center. Cold beer will be provided, and food will be available from several food trucks that will be on site. Renew connections and explore the touring Monster Fish Exhibition (which, incidentally, was partially funded through the WD AFS Small Grant Program) (http:// www.nvdm.org/monsterfish/index.php). Students will get a kick out of the venue for the Student Social - the world-famous National Automobile Museum, billed as one of America's greatest automobile museums (http://www.automuseum.org/). For more information please check out the Schedule at a Glance (http://wd2016.fisheries.org/ schedule/).
Utah AFS Officers At our 2015 meeting in Moab three colleagues were voted to participate in the executive committee. Special thanks to all who volunteered to run for office. Here are your 2015-2016 Utah AFS Officers.
Past President—Calvin Black, Utah Division of Wildlife Calvin Black graduated from Utah State University in the fall of 2003. He has been employed with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for the past 13 years. He works out of the Southeastern Region Office in Price, Utah as the Assistant Aquatics Program Manager. He administers the sport fish program for the regional office. Calvin was previously employed as the Colorado River cutthroat trout Biologist in the Northeastern Region Office in Vernal and the June Sucker Biologist in the Central Region Office. Calvin is an avid outdoorsman spending his free time fishing, duck hunting, bow hunting and upland game hunting.
President —Dr. Mark Belk, Brigham Young University Mark C. Belk is a professor of Biology at Brigham Young University. Mark received his Ph.D. from the University of Georgia in Zoology in 1992. He has been on the faculty at BYU since 1992, and has been the editor of the Western North American Naturalist for 9 years. His research focuses on evolutionary ecology with a focus in the evolution of life histories and effects of predation. He also works on conservation biology of fishes, including freshwater fishes of the American West, Central and South America. He has published over 80 papers in 35 different peer-reviewed journals such as American Naturalist, Ecology, Oikos, Oecologia, Global Ecology and Biogeography, and Ecology of Freshwater Fish. His published work and presentations cover a range of topics from basic natural history to experimental and theoretical work in evolutionary ecology. Most of his work involves a combination of experimental and observational field work and laboratory experiments. He spends several weeks each summer in lakes, rivers and streams conducting research, although some have suggested that he is just fishing.
Utah AFS Officers Mark serves on several advisory boards for conservation of threatened and endangered species. His research work has been important in guiding the management of least chub, northern and southern leatherside chub, Columbia spotted frog, and June sucker. He is a longtime member of the "Friends of Trash Fish", and is prone to strike up a conversation about the wonders of fish, the politics of June sucker restoration, or the mating habits of livebearing fishes or burying beetles even in polite society.
I came to Utah from Alaska in 2006. I started working on the June sucker program in the Central Region and has since moved to the Salt Lake office where I am one of the native aquatics species coordinators. In 2011 my husband and I decided to quit our jobs, pack our van and travel around the U.S. and the world to pursue our passions of climbing and travelling. As amazing as that experience was, eventually the money runs out and after two years, I was thrilled to learn that my old job was open and I was able to return to a place I love. I enjoy working with the amazing native fish and amphibians in Utah as well as all of the other great people I get to work with here. Many weekends in the fall you can find me at Joe's Valley which in addition to being a great place to fish is one of the best bouldering areas in the world.
Utah AFS Officers Vice President —Ben Brown, Utah Division of Water Quality I have lived in Utah most of my life and consider myself very fortunate to be able to live in such a great and dynamic state. I currently live in Kamas where I enjoy having close access to the outdoors from my backyard. I lived in Montana for about 5 years to go to college and then moved back to Utah after getting my degree. I went to school at the University of Montana where I received a bachelor's degree in environmental studies with an emphasis in watershed science. With that I also obtained a minor in wildlife biology. After graduating, I was offered a job with the State of Utah Division of Water Quality (DWQ) as an environmental scientist. I have been with DWQ for 10 years now and am the lead field coordinator for most of the statewide monitoring programs that occur throughout the state. Although I cannot claim to be a fish biologist by any means, I do work closely on water quality projects/issues that influence fish and fish populations. Much of the data I collect throughout the state goes towards assessing whether or not fish populations are negatively affected by water quality changes. Some of the key projects I coordinate are the National Aquatic Resource Surveys (NARS); Utah Comprehensive Assessment of Stream Ecosystems (UCASE); Rotating Basin Ambient Water Quality Surveys; Lake Sampling Program; and the Utah Fish Tissue Contamination Program.
Utah AFS Officers Secretary/Treasurer—Gary Thiede, Utah State University I was born in rural Wisconsin and received my BS degree in zoology from the University of Wisconsin (Madison) in 1990.
came to Utah first in 1992 and completed my MS degree in fisheries at Utah State University in 1997.
Peace Corps in Zambia, and a year as a fisheries biologist with Oregon DFW, I came back to Utah in 2001. I am currently a research associate (fisheries biologist) in the Department of Watershed Sciences at USU.
fish conservation, predator-prey dynamics, and food-web ecology in lakes and streams. I have been a steady member of AFS since 2001, and I served as a committee member of the Utah Chapter of AFS from 2007-2009.
2nd Year Committee—Mike Fiorelli, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources I am employed as a Native Aquatic Biologist for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources in Vernal Utah. A majority of my work focuses on the three species conservation, but I also get to work with amphibians such as the boreal toad on occasion. I am currently pursuing my masters degree from Utah State. I am originally from Pennsylvania but moved out west five years ago and decided to stay. Some of my hobbies include fly fishing, duck hunting, upland hunting, and spending time outdoors.
Utah AFS Officers 1st Year Committee—Bryan Engelbert, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources I am originally from a remote part of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Here, I developed a love and passion for the outdoors, especially with the hobby of fishing. When I was 10 years old, I saw a PBS special, showing local DNR fisheries staff surveying a local trout stream. From that moment on, I knew what I wanted to do for a career, and 19 years later, I am still fulfilling that dream. Since those summer days in high school, I am still fishing, but my methods have been diversified greatly, especially since I took up fly fishing in 2008. Other hobbies of mine include hunting, camping, backpacking, and since I grew up in a bowling alley, I am somewhat proficient at bowling. Before moving out west for the first time in 2007, I never envisioned a career/future outside of Michigan, and to be honest, the idea of getting another degree seemed like torture. After a couple seasons working for western State agencies and living in several new places, my opinions and ideas slowly changed.
I have been involved in AFS activities in prior capacities. While attending the University of Illinois, I was the Treasurer for the university subchapter. While attending Lake Superior State University, I was President of the Fisheries and Wildlife Club (2006-2007), and in that capacity, had a seat on the Michigan Chapter AFS Executive Committee. The Club was and continues to be active in engaging young professionals in the science and art of fisheries management activities. The Club won the AFS most active student subunit award for the first time in fall of 2007, a tradition that seems to occur almost perennially since I left. I have taken advantage of chapter meetings as a forum to display my research, and feel AFS is THE organization to accomplish the sharing of thoughts, ideas, and technologies emerging in our field. "
Utah AFS Officers USU Student President—Jamie Reynolds, Utah State University I grew up in the foothills of the Salt Lake valley where adventure was just out the back door. I developed a passion for wildlife through years of exploring the mountainside just behind my home, and a love for fish as an undergraduate student at Utah State University. In May 2015 I earned my B.S. degree with university and departmental honors in wildlife science, with minors in fisheries science and biology, from USU. My interests include fish-wildlife interactions, community ecology, food webs, anatomy and physiology, toxicology, conservation, freshwater and marine ecology, and population ecology. As a Master's student in the Gaeta Lake Ecology Laboratory, I am studying the potential impacts of invasive northern pike on endangered June sucker and other fish species in Utah Lake, UT. Upon completing my M.S. degree, I will pursue a doctorate degree after taking some time to explore the globe. In my spare time I enjoy playing the bagpipes, running, fly fishing, hiking, traveling, reading, and learning different languages.
Web Guru—Cody Edwards, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Cody grew up in Oakley, Utah. He spent the majority of his childhood fly-fishing the Weber River and hunting upland game in the surrounding mountains. After graduating high school, Cody worked as a fly-fishing guide for an outfitter in Park City, UT. Concurrently, Cody was a Jan's Mountain Outifitters Frontier Travel Ambassador and was given the opportunity to travel with groups to fish for steelhead or Northern Pike and lake Trout in Canada and Bonefish, Tarpon and Bonefish in the Bahamas. It was through these adventures he felt the need to do more for the fisheries he enjoyed. While working as a river guide, he attended Utah State University working toward a degree in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. Cody Has worked with The Utah Division of Wildlife for two years as a technician and one year as the Aquatic Invasive Species Biologist for the Southeast Region Office in Price, Utah. He currently is pursuing a Master of Natural Resources Degree through Utah State University while working for the division.
Business Plan Utah Chapter AFS Business Plan Summary Recent events have highlighted the need to develop a Chapter business plan and enhance support for Chapter actions. Several contributing factors were identified. 1) Historically, a majority of annual meeting participants and Chapter members have been employees of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR). Because a large number of Chapter members are UDWR employees, the group is vulnerable to administrative and financial decisions made by UDWR leadership. 2) State and federal agency leadership have expressed concerns about the considerable costs continually incurred by supporting employees to attend Chapter and other annual professional meetings. State and federal budgets have tightened considerably and there is greater public scrutiny on expenses generated by large meetings. For example, UDWR leadership has made the Chapter aware that annual meeting costs covered by UDWR need to be reduced. The Chapter recognizes that it is mutually beneficial for both itself and employers of meeting participants to reduce meeting costs. 3) Some activities of Chapter members have been perceived as conflicting with the goals of agency employers or politically sensitive. 4) Chapter leadership seeks to continue holding meetings at independent, non-agency, meeting locations. Meeting outside workplace environments fosters emotional engagement among Chapter members in open discussions about issues related to fisheries and aquatic species management. The Chapter serves many functions at the state level, which includes organizing and hosting the Chapter's annual meeting, funding special projects, and providing support to students through scholarships. The annual meeting typically consists of a plenary session, formal presentations by Chapter members in symposia covering broad topics and a platform for Chapter members to network. The annual meeting also serves as the primary fundraising event and primary expense for the Chapter and allows the Chapter to continue to provide assistance to members as noted above.
increased membership dues ($5 to $25), sponsorships from agencies and other organizations that support the Chapter mission, organized event proceeds (e.g., fishing tournament, trap shoot), maximized in-meeting fundraising revenue, selection of meeting location/timing based upon annual budget and projected attendance, meeting registration, and diversified and increased attendance from "nontraditional" participants (e.g., other natural resources professionals, anglers, and vendors).
Under this model, agency reimbursement is limited to registration fees and travel expenses (e.g., mileage). The success of these efforts in offsetting per-individual meeting expenses served as the primary reason for moving forward with development of a more formal business plan for the Chapter that allows for expansion of traditional revenue sources.
Business Plan A model annual budget has been developed to help guide implementation of this Chapter Business Plan. The purpose of this budget is to illustrate generic Chapter income and expenses based on Chapter operations in previous years and should be used as a guideline for the development of an annual budget. An actual annual budget is to be developed and voted upon by the EXCOM, as per Chapter Bylaws, during annual meeting planning and preparation. As per Chapter Bylaws the EXCOM is allowed discretionary spending for annual meeting costs and travel. Chapter expenses greater than $500 and not related to annual meeting costs or travel reimbursements must be voted upon by the general membership.
*Membership dues: $25/member with a goal of 100 or more members = $2500 **Meeting registration based upon the following suggested prices and goals, rounded up: $75/member ($7500); $125/non-members ($3125); $25/students ($500); $50 non-member students ($250) ***Annual fundraising includes in-meeting activity, fishing tournaments, fun runs, trap shoot, etc. ****Miscellaneous/giveaway expense does not exceed the previous year's collected membership dues.

Featured Fisheries Projects With the revival of our Lateral Line we decided to feature ongoing fisheries projects conducted by Utah Chapter members. In each issue we hope to highlight projects from each student subunit and at least one project from a Utah professional. As the year goes on, please keep your Executive Committee aware of interesting projects occurring in our state. In addition, encourage your colleagues to present their findings at our annual meeting. Many thanks to our contributors!
Utah State University Subunit Our most recent club activity involved bashing burbot at Flaming Gorge Reservoir. We fished into the wee hours of the morning only to catch a grand total of six burbot. We don't blame them for not wanting to be endlessly poked and prodded by a group of curious and enthusiastic fisheries students. The next morning we helped the UDWR and Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) with the Burbot Bash check-in station in Manila, UT. Some of us helped anglers count and scan their burbot (see Levi Simmons with tag scanner, below) while others helped the WGFD extract otoliths from roughly 150 burbot for an age and growth study. We want to thank Ryan Mosley, the UDWR, and the WGFD for allowing us to help. We had a blast! Other events for the semester include guest speakers from the division and another day of ice fishing. In addition, many of our students, both graduate and undergraduate, are currently preparing posters and oral presentations for the Utah AFS Chapter meeting in March.
