Three types of initial potential tests are presented in this paper with explanations of each and their applications and limitations. These are explained as to when and where each may be used. Also, deliverability testing is covered as applicable to low-permeability reservoirs as encountered in the Rocky Mountain region. Particular emphasis is placed on testing in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico and Colorado. Initial potential testing may, vary from locale to locale, but all testing within a common pool should be conducted in the same manner if the results are to be comparable. Standardization should be made by the engineers within the industry with the object in mind to obtain the best data, at the least cost, to attempt to predict future deliveries from gas wells and gas pools. In heterogeneous reservoirs of low permeability, the actual producing ability of each well cannot be accurately determined from either the initial potential test or from short periods of intermittent flow to the pipeline. Instead, the deliverability test is utilized as the most accurate tool for well evaluation.
The natural gas industry supplied approximately 10 trillion cu ft of gas from 91,082 dry gas wells during the year of 1962. The proven gas reserves increased some 85 per cent from 1945 to the end of 1962 to a figure of 273.8 trillion cu ft. This figure of reserves represents approximately a 20-year supply according to the 1962 consumption rate.
To evaluate each of the over 90,000 gas wells in existence today, we must utilize some medium of testing that will yield the necessary information about the well.
For data determined from tests to be of maximum value, all tests within a common reservoir should be done with identical procedures. In fact, if results are to be compared from reservoir to reservoir, or from state to state, tests should be done with standard procedures providing a common basis of evaluation and utilization. This would assure the reliability of data available to the engineer, even though he may not have worked in the area in which the test was taken. A major step in accomplishing standardization in testing has been made through the publication by the Interstate Oil Compact Commission of a "Manual of Back Pressure Testing of Gas Wells", which has recently been prepared and recommended for use throughout the gas industry. The need of such standardization is particularly apparent to those engineers whose work requires them to test wells in different states which utilize various test procedures, or in some instances have no specified procedures.
From the beginning of drilling operations until the final plugging of a gas well, gas well tests should be conducted periodically to obtain information as to the performance of each individual well. Good test results can be used for: (1) an aid in determining the effectiveness of well completion and stimulation methods: (2) sizing location production equipment: (3) sizing pipeline laterals and trunk lines; (4) the determination of appropriate line pressure for the design of gathering systems; (5) the determination of the number of wells necessary to supply the market demand; and (6) defining suitable withdrawal rates for contractual requirements, ratable takes, or proration allocation purposes.
These same gas well tests can often be used in the determination of reservoir producing characteristics as: (1) evaluation of reserve estimates and field life; (2) determination of the most desirable well spacing; and (3) determination of the most practical and economical withdrawal rates. These tests may further be used to define a well as commercial or non-commercial. And last, but possibly not least, a test value may be used to close the pages of the drilling activity of a well and thus, remove it from the scout report and place it among the completed wells. From these requirements have come several types of gas well testing procedures. All of these are predicated on the one basic premise that stabilized rates of flow and pressure can be obtained on a gas well. This is, in turn, a reflection of the permeability of the producing interval of the reservoir.
The two general types of gas well tests that can be conducted are the open-flow test, with gas being vented to the atmosphere, and the closed-flow test with gas flowing into a pipeline.


Apple's latest acquisition is the longtime Cupertino campus of rival tech giant Hewlett-Packard, the Mercury News learned Wednesday. HP announced over the summer that it planned to move out of that site, which it had occupied for decades, as it consolidates operations at its Palo Alto headquarters over the next two years.
The extra land will be used by Apple to expand their existing Cupertino campus.
They don't list their source for the information, so we're not sure how much is speculative, but they claim the MacBook Pro will follow the MacBook Airs move to Solid State Storage and removal of an optical drive.

Top 10: Fringe Star Wars Characters
<!— 8: Article Text —>
One of the greatest things about Star Wars was that not only were Luke, Yoda, Han Solo, and Darth Vader (oh, and Princess Leia in that sexy bikini number) memorable, but so were the quirky fringe characters. Those interesting aliens from the outer realms of space may not have had much airtime, but they made for some memorable moments onscreen. So without further ado, here are the top 10 Star Warsfringe characters.
Though Greedo's role was short-lived in Episode IV: A New Hope, he definitely served a purpose. A bounty hunter with a contract out on Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Greedo found the tough guy in the Mos Eisley Cantina. As the hunter fired an errant shot, Han shot a round of his blaster pistol through the cantina table, killing him.
Once again, this character is remembered for his strange look — a testament to the Star Warscostume and makeup teams. A reptilian-looking creature with large, fly-like eyes, the bright green Greedo was built like a man but had small, round horns covering his head. His large ears and snout made him more comical than anything else, making us wonder how successful a bounty hunter he could have been before he met his untimely demise at the hands of Mr. Solo.
Wicket W. Warrick
One of the cute and furry Ewoks of the planet Endor, Wicket W. Warrick was a scout for his brethren and discovered an unconscious Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Warrick lead Leia to his village, where the funny-talking Ewoks pledged their allegiance to the Alliance and helped take down the Empire's invading forces on their forested home turf.
The adorable Warrick stole the hearts of fans with his gentle treatment of Leia after the enemy attacked her. His assistance in the ensuing counterattack showed he was a lover anda fighter.
Captain Lorth Needa
One of the coolest death scenes in all the Star Wars movies was played out by Captain Lorth Needa, a member of the evil Empire and servant to Darth Vader. When Needa's Avenger Star Destroyer allowed Han Solo's Millennium Falcon to escape after the snowy Battle of Hoth in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back , Needa paid dearly for the error.
When Darth Vader summoned him to a video screen to report the status of the pursuit, Needa decided to go to Vader's ship to confess and apologize to his master personally. Vader then used his Dark Side powers to choke Needa to death, without ever having to lay a figure on the unfortunate soul.

Saint Paul was born a Jew at Tarsus and educated by Gamaliel as a Pharisee.
Prior to his conversion, he was a leading persecutor of the early church. However, through God's grace, he witnessed the Resurrected Lord on his was to Damascus, as he was traveling there in orer to persecute more Christians.
After his conversion, he gave heart, mind, soul and strength for the furtherance of the Gospel. It is through his labours that God used him as His instrument in bringing the Gentile world into the Faith.
The accompanying painting was done by Jacopo Robusti Tintoretto (1518-1594).

Q: How to join 3 tables and get sum from result of individual joins?
I have the following scenario:
Table: users : user_id, username ,...
Table: login: user_id, login_date, ...
Table: point: user_id, points, point_time
Joins will be on the basis of users.user_id with other tables.

Now, I want to get count of all the logins as well as sum of all the points earned by the user.
Now, when I do:
select users.user_id,count(*) from users
inner join login on users.user_id=login.user_id
group by users.user_id

It returns count as 36(for example).
Whenever I run:
select users.user_id,count(*),sum(points) from users
inner join point on users.user_id=point.user_id
group by users.user_id

It returns sum as 400(for example) and count as 2.
But if I combine both the queries:
select users.user_id,count(*),sum(points) from users
inner join login on users.user_id=login.user_id
inner join point on users.user_id=point.user_id
group by users.user_id

It returns count as 72 (36 * 2) and sum as 800 (400 *2).
Twice because of multiple userIds present.
I tried several things like combining with distincts but nothing seems to work. Please help.Better if it's possible with joins alone. Thanks in advance. I am using mysql with Php.

A: You can sum the points in a subquery and select distinct logins in the count
select users.user_id,l.login,p.points from users
inner join (select user_id, count(1) login from login
       group by login) as l on users.user_id=login.user_id
inner join (select user_id, sum(point) as point
        from point group by user_id ) as p on users.user_id=point.user_id

A: You should be able to do your count by joining in your login table and then including a subquery to get your count of points:
select users.user_id, count(*) as login_count,
  (select sum(points) from point
   where point.user_id = users.user_id) as points_sum
from users
inner join login on users.user_id=login.user_id
group by users.user_id

\section{Introduction}
\label{intro}
\subsection{Unsteady gas problem}
\label{sec:1}
In the study of the unsteady flow of gas through a semi infinite porous medium \citep{Kidder} initially filled with gas at a uniform pressure $P_0 \geq 0$, at time $t=0$, the pressure at the outflow face is suddenly reduced from $P_0$ to $P_1 \geq 0$ ($P_1 =0$ is the case of diffusion into a vacuum) and is, thereafter, maintained at this lower pressure. The unsteady isothermal flow of gas is described by a non-linear partial differential equation
\begin{equation}
\nabla ^2(P^2) = 2 A\frac{\partial P}{\partial t},
\end{equation}
where the constant $A$ is given by the properties of the medium.In the one dimensional medium extending from $z=0$ to $z= \infty$, this reduces to
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial}{\partial z}(P\frac{\partial P}{\partial z})=A \frac{\partial P}{\partial t},
\end{equation}
with the boundary conditions
\begin{eqnarray}
P(z,0)=P_0,   0<z<\infty; \\
P(0,t)=P_1(<P_0),   0\leq t <\infty.
\end{eqnarray}
To obtain a similarity solution, Authors\citep{Agrawal} introduced the new independent variable
\begin{equation}
x=\frac{z}{\sqrt{t}}\sqrt{\frac{A}{4P_0}},
\end{equation}
and the dimension-free dependent variable $y$, defined by
\begin{equation}
y(x)=\frac{1}{\alpha}(1-\frac{P^2(z)}{P^2_0}),
\end{equation}
where $\alpha  = 1- \frac{P_1^2}{P_0^2}$. In terms of the new variable, the problem takes the form (unsteady gas equation)
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2}+\frac{2 x}{\sqrt{1-\alpha y(x)}}\frac{dy}{dx}=0,\\
\label{Main_EQ}
x>0,~~~~0\leq \alpha \leq 1.
\end{eqnarray}
The typical boundary conditions imposed by the physical properties are
\begin{equation}
y(0)=1,~~~~y(\infty)=0.
\end{equation}
A substantial amount of numerical and analytical work has invested so far \citep{Kidder,Roberts} in this model. The main reason of this interest is that the approximation can be used for many engineering purpose. As stated before, the problem of Eq. (\ref{Main_EQ}) was handled by Kidder\citep{Kidder} where a perturbation technique is carried out to include terms of the second order. Wazwaz \cite{Wazwaz} solved this equation non-linearly by modifying the decomposition method and Pad\'e approximation. Parand \citep{Parand1,Parand2,Parand3}  also applied the Lagrangian method, generalized Laguerre polynomials and Bessel collocation method for solving unsteady gas equation.
Rad and Parand  \citep{Rad} proposed an Analytical solution Unsteady Gas equation by Homotopy perturbation method (HPM).
Kazem  \citep{Kazem} applied the radial basis function (RBF) collocation method  and  Aslam noor \citep{Noor} applied the variational iteration method (VIM) for solving non-linear this equation. khan \citep{Khan} propose a new approach to solve unsteady gas equation.  he applied the modified Laplace decomposition method (MLDM) coupled with Pad\'e approximation to compute a series solution of unsteady flow of gas through a porous medium. Upadhyay and Rai \citep{Upad} using the Legendre wavelet collocation method (yLWCM) to solve this equation.

\label{sec:4}
\subsection{CSRBF}
\label{ssec:41}
Many problems in science and engineering arise in infinite and semi-infinite domains. Different numerical methods have been proposed for solving problems on various domains such as FEM\citep{DH10,DH11}, FDM\citep{DH9,DH10} and Spectral\citep{DH5,Parand2} methods and meshfree method\citep{DH3,DH4}.
The use of the RBF is an one of the popular meshfree method for solving the differential equations  \citep{DH1,DH2}. For many years the global radial basis functions such as Gaussian, Multi quadric, Thin plate spline, Inverse multiqudric and etc was used  \citep{DH6,DH7,DH8}. These functions are globally supported and generate a system of equations  with ill-condition full matrix.To convert the ill-condition matrix to a well-condition matrix, CSRBFs can be used  instead of global RBFs\citep{Shen}. CSRBFs can convert the global scheme into a local one with banded matrices, Which makes the RBF method more feasible for solving large-scale problem \citep{Wong}.
\subsubsection{Wendland's functions}
\label{ssec:42}
The most popular family of CSRBF are Wendland functions. This function introduced by Holger Wendland in 1995 \citep{Wendland,Wendland2}. Wendland starts with the truncated power function $\phi_l(r)=(1-r)^l_+$ which be strictly positive definite and radial on $\mathbb{R}^s$ for $l\geq \lfloor\frac{s}{2}\rfloor+1$ , and then he walks through dimension by repeatedly applying the operator I.\\
\textbf{Definition \citep{MeshfreeFasshhauer}}~~
with $\phi_l(r)=(1-r)^l_+$ we define
 \begin{equation}
 \phi_{s,k}=I^k\phi_{\lfloor\frac{s}{2}\rfloor +k+1},
 \end{equation}
 it turns out that the functions $\phi_{s,k}$ are all supported on [0,1].\\
\textbf{Theorem 1 \citep{MeshfreeFasshhauer}}~~
 The function $\phi_{s,k}$ are strictly positive definite (SPD)  and radial on $\mathbb{R}^s$ and are of the form
 \begin{equation}
\phi _{s,k}(r)=\begin{cases}
p_{s,k}(r)&   r\in [0,1],\\
0&       r>1,
\end{cases}
\end{equation}
with a univariate polynomial $p_{s,k}$ of degree $\lfloor \frac{s}{2}\rfloor+3k+1$. Moreover, ،$\phi_{s,k}\in C^{2k}(R)$ are unique up to a constant factor, and the polynomial degree is minimal for given space dimension $s$ and smoothness $2k$ \citep{MeshfreeFasshhauer}.
Wendland gave recursive formulas for the functions $\phi_{s,k}$ for all $s, k$. We instead list the explicit formulas of \citep{Fasshhauer}.\\
\textbf{Theorem 2 \citep{MeshfreeFasshhauer}}
~~~~The function $\phi_{s,k}$, $k=0,~1,~ 2,~ 3,$ have form
 \begin{eqnarray}
&&\phi_{s,0}=(1-r)^l_+,\\
&&\phi_{s,1}\doteq(1-r) _+^{l+1}[(l+1)r+1],\\
&&\phi_{s,2}\doteq(1-r)_+^{l+2}[(l^2+4l+3)r^2+(3l+6)r+3],\\
&&\phi_{s,3}\doteq(1-r)_+^{l+3}[(l^3+9l^2+23l+15)r^3+(6l^2+36l+45)r^2\\
&&+(15l+45)r+15],
\end{eqnarray}
where $l=\lfloor \frac{s}{2}\rfloor +k+1$, and the symbol $\doteq$ denotes equality up to a multiplicative positive constant.\\
~~~~~~The case $k=0$ follows directly from the definition. application of the definition for the case $k=1$ yields
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\phi_{s,1}(r)=(I\phi_l)(r)
=\int^\infty_r t\phi_l(t)dt  \\
&&=\int^\infty _r t(1-t)^l_+dt
=\int^1_r t(1-t)^ldt\\
&&=\frac{1}{(l+1)(l+2)} (1-r)^{l+1}[(l+1)r+1],
\end{eqnarray}
where the compact support of $\phi_l$ reduces the improper integral to a definite integral which can be evaluated using integration by parts. The other two cases are obtained similarly by repeated application of $I$.\citep{MeshfreeFasshhauer}
We showed the most of wendland functions in Table \ref{Table. 1.}.

\noalign{\smallskip}\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\subsubsection{Wu's functions}
In \citep{Wu} we find another way to construct strictly positive definite radial function compact support. Wu starts with the function
\begin{equation}
\phi (r)=(1-r^2)_+^l,    l\in N,
\end{equation}
which in itself is not positive definite, however, Wu then uses convolution to construct another function that is strictly positive definite and radial on $\mathbb{R}$
\begin{equation}
\phi_l (r)=\int _{-1}^1 (1-t^2)^2_+(1-(2r-t)^2)^l_+dt.
\end{equation}
then, he constructed functions by "dimension walk" using the $D$ operator.\\
\textbf{Definition 2}
~~With $\phi_l(r)=((1-.^2)_+^l*(1-.^2)_+^l)(2r)$ we define\\
\begin{equation}
\phi_{k,l}=D^k\phi_l.
\end{equation}
The function $\phi_{k,l}$ are strictly positive definite and radial on $\mathbb{R}^s$ for $s\leq  2k+1$. are polynomials of degree $4l-2k+1$ on their support
and in $C^{2(l-k)}$ in the interior of the support. On the boundary the smoothness increases to $C^{2l-k}$. \citep{MeshfreeFasshhauer}\\
a number of Wu's function showed in Table \ref{Table. 2.}.\\

\begin{table}[htbp]

\end{table}

\section{ CSRBF method}
\subsection{Interpolation by CSRBFs}
\label{ssec:43}
The one-dimensional function $y(x)$ to be interpolated or approximated can be represented by an CSRBF as
\begin{equation}
y(x)\approx y_n(x)=\sum_{i=1}^N \xi_i \phi_i (x)=\Phi ^T(x)\Xi,
\label{systmat}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
&&\phi_i (x)=\phi (\dfrac{\|x-x_i\|}{r_\omega}),\\
&&\Phi ^T(x)=[\phi_1 (x),\phi_2 (x),\cdots ,\phi _N(x)],\\
&&\Xi =[\xi_1,\xi_2, \cdots , \xi_N ]^T,
\end{eqnarray}
\begin{equation}
\end{equation}
$x$ is the input, $r_\omega$ is the local support domain and $\xi_i$s are the set of coefficients to be determined. By using the local support domain, we mapped the domain of problem to CSRBF local domain. By choosing $N$ interpolate points $(x_j,~ j=1, 2,\cdots,  N)$ in domain:
\begin{equation}
y_j=\sum_{i=1}^N\xi_i\phi_i (x_j)   (j=1, 2, \cdots, N).
\end{equation}
To summarize the discussion on the coefficients matrix, we define
\begin{equation}
A\Xi = Y,
\label{system}
\end{equation}
where :
\begin{eqnarray}
&&Y=[y_1, y_2, \cdots,  y_N]^T,\\
&&A=[\Phi ^T(x_1), \Phi ^T(x_2), \cdots , \Phi ^T(x_N)]^T\\
&&=\begin{pmatrix}
\phi_1(x_1)&\phi_2(x_1)&\cdots &\phi_N(x_1)\cr \phi_1(x_2)&\phi_2(x_2)&\cdots &\phi_N(x_2)\cr \vdots &\vdots &\ddots &\vdots \cr \phi_1(x_N)&\phi_2(x_N)&\cdots &\phi_N(x_N)
\end{pmatrix}.
\end{eqnarray}
Note that $\phi_i(x_j)=\phi(\dfrac{\|x_i-x_j\|}{r_\omega})$, by solving the system (\ref{system}), the unknown coefficients $\xi_i$  will be achieved.
\subsection{Solving the  transformed Model}
In this section, by defining $u(x)$ as a below form and transforming $\frac{dy}{dx}$ and $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$ in terms of it,
\begin{eqnarray}
u(x)=1-\alpha y(x) \\
\frac{dy}{dx}= -\frac{du}{dx}\alpha^{-1}\\
 \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=-\frac{d^2u}{dx^2}\alpha^{-1}
\end{eqnarray}
the problem of unsteady gas in a semi-infinite porous medium (\ref{Main_EQ}) takes the following form :
\begin{equation}
\label{sub4}
\frac{d^2u}{dx^2}+\frac{2x\alpha}{\sqrt{u}}\frac{du}{dx}=0,~~~~x>0, 0\leq \alpha \leq 1,
\end{equation}
and the conditions change to
\begin{equation}
\label{condition}
u(0)=1-\alpha,~~~~ u(\infty)=1.
\end{equation}
Now we approximate $\frac{du}{dx}$ and $\frac{d^2u}{dx^2}$ as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{sub1}
\frac{du}{dx}\simeq \frac{du_n}{dx}=\sum_{i=0}^N \xi_i \phi_i(x),\\
\label{sub2}
\frac{d^2u}{dx^2}\simeq \frac{d^2u_n}{dx^2}=\sum_{i=0}^N \xi_i\phi'(x).
\end{eqnarray}
By using integral operation $u(x)$ is obtained as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{sub3}
\int _0^x \frac{du_n}{dr}dr = \sum_{i=0}^N \xi_i  \int _0 ^x \phi_i(r) dr,\\
u_n(x)-u(0)=\sum_{i=0}^N \xi_i  \int _0 ^x \phi_i(r) dr,\\
u(x)\simeq u_n(x)=(\sum_{i=0}^N \xi_i  \int _0 ^x \phi_i(r) dr )+(1-\alpha),
\end{eqnarray}
By substituting (\ref{sub1}), (\ref{sub2}), and (\ref{sub3}) in (\ref{sub4}), we define residual function
\begin{equation}
Res(x)=\frac{d^2u_n}{dx^2}+\frac{2x}{\sqrt{u_n}}\frac{du_n}{dx}.
\end{equation}
Now, by using $N-1$ interpolate points $\{x_j\}^{N-1}_{i=1}$ plus a condition (\ref{condition}) we can solve the set of equations and consequently, the coefficients $\{\xi_i\}_{i=1}^N$ will be obtained:
\begin{equation}
\begin{cases}
Res(x_j)=0,~~~~ j=1,2,...,N-1,\\
u_n(L_{\infty})=1.
\end{cases}
\end{equation}.
Collocation point are chosen by :
\begin{equation}
L_{\infty}(\frac{j}{N})^\varrho,~~~j=1,2,...,N-1,
\end{equation}

where $\varrho$ is a arbitrary parameter. Here, we choose $L_\infty=5$ which satisfies $y(L_\infty)<\epsilon$ with $\epsilon$ as a small positive value. The parameter $\varrho$ and local support domain $r_\omega$ that must be selected by the user. But here, by the meaning of residual function, we try to minimize $\|Res(x)\|^2$ by choosing a good local support domain and $\varrho$. We define $\|Res(x)\|^2$ as
\begin{equation}
\|Res(x)\|^2=\int_0^{L_{\infty}} Res^2(x)dx\simeq \sum_{j=0}^m \vartheta_j Res^2(\frac{L_\infty}{2}s_j+\frac{L_\infty}{2}),
\end{equation}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
\vartheta_j=\frac{L_\infty}{(1-s_j^2)(\frac{d}{ds}P_{m+1}(s)|s=s_j)},~~j=0,1,...,m,\\
P_{m+1}(s_j)=0,~~j=0,1,...,m,
\end{eqnarray}
$P_{m+1}(s)$ is the $(m+1)$th-order Legendre polynomial. The Figure \ref{figure1}. show the minimum of $\|Res(x)\|^2$ which is obtained with $r_\omega$  for cases of$Wendland_{3,5}$, $Wu_{3,3}$, $Buhman_4$ and $Oscillator_3$.
The result of this section can be summarized in the following algorithm for the BVP:
\begin{equation}
F(x,y(x),\frac{dy}{dx},\frac{d^2y}{dx^2})=0,~~~~y(0)=a,~~~y(\infty)=b.
\end{equation}
\textbf{Algorithm} The algorithm works in the following manner:\\
(1) Choose $N$ center points $\{X_j\}^N_{j=0}$ from domain $[0, L_\infty]$.\\
(2) Approximate $\frac{dy}{dx}$ as the from $\frac{dy}{dx}=\sum_{i=1}^N \xi_i\phi_i(r)$.\\
(3) Obtain $y(x)$ by using defined integral operation $I_\chi(h(x))=\int_0^x h(t)dt$ in the form $u_N(x)= \sum_{i=1}^N \xi_i \int _0^x \phi_i(t) dt+a$\\
(4) Substitiute $u_N(x)$, $\frac{du_N}{dx}$ and $\frac{d^2 u_N}{dx}$ into the main problem and create residual function Res(x).\\
(5) Substitiute collocation points $\{X_j\}_{j=0}^{N-1}$ into the Res(x), along with a boundary condition $y(L_\infty)=b$ and create $N$ equations.\\
(6) Solve the $N$ equations with $N$ unknown coefficients $\{\xi_i\}_{i=1}^N$ and  find the numerical solution.

  The stability of the CSRBF scheme depends on the local support domain $r_{\omega}$. An important unsolved problem is to find a approach to determine the optimal size of $r_{\omega}$. Also, The condition number grows with $N$ and $\varrho$ for fixed values of local support domain. Figure \ref{figure4}. and \ref{figure5}. shows the condition number of matrix $A$ versus local support domain $r_{\omega}$ and $\xi$.

 Figure \ref{figure4}. shows that by decreasing the $r_\omega$, an increase is seen in the condition number of matrix $A$ and the method become more unstable. In general, the smaller the value of $r_{\omega}$, the higher percentage of zero entries in matrix $A$, so condition number matrix $A$ is a little and with increases the $r_{\omega}$, decrease percentage of zero entries in matrix $A$  and matrix $A$ will be unstable.

 To find the critical values of $r_{\omega}$ , we use the residual error which can see in Figure \ref{figure1}.  Figure \ref{figure6}. displays the $y(x)$ for $\alpha=0.5$ in Unsteady gas equation.

 in Figure \ref{figure7}. displays the convergence rates of the CSRBFs method for Eq. (\ref{Main_EQ}) for some value of $N$ for $\alpha=0.5$. These figures illustrate the convergence rate of the method.

\section{ Conclusion}
The fundamental goal of this paper was the construct an approximation to the solution of unsteady gas equation. a set of CSRBFs with these properties were proposed for providing an effective but simple way to improve the convergence rate. A comparison was made among the solutions of \citep{Kazem,Upad} and this work. the absolute error $\|Res\|^2$ were obtained. This paper has provided an acceptable method for Unsteady Gas equation. It was also confirmed by logarithmic figures of residual function that this method has an exponential convergence rate. Additionally, high convergence rate and good accuracy are obtained by the proposed method using relatively low numbers of collocate points.

The great mammal hall has been emblematic of the Harvard Museum of Natural History for decades. Traditionalists will be glad to know that the gorilla tirelessly pounding on his chest, the placid okapi, and the room-long whale skeleton are still in place, and birds still fill cases on the balconies that run all around the hall. But the birds are no longer solely the "Birds of North America," as has been the case for ages. Like the University that houses them, they have become more cosmopolitan and are now "Birds of the World."
"I'm staggered by their diversity," said Maude Baldwin, a doctoral student and teaching fellow in organismic and evolutionary biology, whose particular interest is hummingbirds. She and Jennifer Berglund, an exhibit developer and writer, spent many months preparing this permanent exhibition, which opened last fall. First, they refurbished the elderly display cabinets themselves. To populate the cases, they drew on the vast collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology—350,000 bird specimens—vacuuming the dust of years from feathers, brightening eyes to restore their shine, and revealing the color and iridescence of plumage through proper lighting. Then they made everything fit—and make sense.
Shown first are hornbills, mostly tropical birds who bear a large bill topped by a unique hollow structure, called a casque. The hornbill at right in the group is Buceros rhinoceros, the Malaysian state bird; the others are from Africa.
Next are a roseate spoonbill and two ibises. One might encounter the spatula-equipped wader in the southeastern United States or South America east of the Andes. The scarlet ibis is from northern South America. A white ibis is in the corner. A copper ibis, of course, may ordinarily be found on the dome of the Harvard Lampoon building.
The solitary bird is a fiery-breasted bush-shrike, from equatorial Africa. It is colorful even in its present circumstances.
The flightless southern cassowary can grow 75 inches tall. In front are another Australian resident, an emu, and a brown kiwi, a New Zealander. (The birds that follow are identified in captions.)
Baldwin and Berglund arranged their avian citizens to reflect not just biogeography but also current scientific understanding of the relationships among birds—their phylogeny. The result, Baldwin believes, is "both beautiful and correct."
The Birds of the World exhibit is made possible by a gift in memory of Melvin R. Seiden '52, LL.B. '55.

Folau's shock new anti-gay admission
WALLABIES star Israel Folau has opened up about the furore his controversial views on gay marriage caused earlier this year, making the shock admission he "really enjoyed" the debate.
Folau sparked public outrage with his comments on social media in April, claiming, as part of his Christian beliefs, God's plan for gay people is hell.
Folau had to front Rugby Australia over his comments and CEO Raelene Castle chose not to sanction him saying: "In his own words, Israel said that he did not intend to upset people intentionally or bring hurt to the game. We accept Israel's position."
Speaking ahead of Saturday's third Bledisloe Cup test in Yokohama, Japan, Folau said: "It's a bit of a rollercoaster year for me, more so off the field with what's been happening.
"But, to be quite honest, it might sound a bit crazy, but I kind of really enjoyed what was happening off the field, not that it happened on purpose.
"But my identity is based around my faith in God and I truly believe that from deep down inside what was happening off the field, even though it was challenging and it was hard, it was actually moulding me into the person in becoming stronger and it actually taught me a lot of things that I needed to learn, and I'm still learning now.
"Obviously a lot of people will say negative things about what was happening, but it taught me to actually love and forgive them for obviously not agreeing and that's something that I've learnt to take on."
Folau said the controversy made him a stronger person.Source:News Corp Australia
All Blacks TJ Perenara and Brad Weber spoke out against Folau's comments at the time, while fans also expressed their disappointment on social media.
Folau's own teammate David Pocock also openly disagreed with his stance.
"I totally understand everyone else's view," Folau said. "They are obviously different to mine and I respect that.
"It doesn't change how I look at that person.
"What I don't want to do is compromise what I believe in and being true to my faith in God.
"I'm always going to follow that even though probably a lot of people won't agree with that.
"That's fine. I'll still respect them and love everyone else for who they are.
"In terms of being true to what I believe in that won't change."
Yesterday it was revealed the 69-Test veteran had signed a new four-year deal to remain in Australian rugby. Folau's new deal will take him through until the end of 2022 — when he is 34 — and ensure the sought-after code-hopper spends at least 10 seasons in the 15-man code.
He considered offers to return to the NRL, the Queensland Reds or even head overseas to Japan or Europe, but ultimately his love for the Wallabies and Waratahs won over.
Folau's new deal is a boost to Australian rugby.Source:AFP
"The journey I've been on so far, I wasn't expecting to go from league to AFL and then AFL to rugby," Folau said.
"I'm 29 now, I can't tell the future, but I'm never really feeling comfortable in the position I'm in. Whatever happens to me, it keeps me on my toes, just trying to improve as a footy player but also as a person as well."
Folau's retention is not only a huge boost for the Wallabies ahead of Saturday's Test but for next year's World Cup and beyond, with or without coach Michael Cheika.
"There are lots of young guys coming through who are talented and we are playing some good footy, bits and pieces in games," Folau said.
"Being consistent is the great challenge and one to be a part of.
"I believe in the team and what we have here. Cheik is doing a really good job in directing the team."

Danger lurks for Folau in SBW milestone


Here's this weekend's must read: a Dennis Miller rant on the stupidity of relativism vis a vis the Roman Polanski apologists.
His points are valid and amusing as they can be, given the insanity of the argument: "what Roman Polanski did was wrong but ..."
One liberal pundit or another (banality = interchangeability) was bleating on and on, and I actually heard the words "what Roman Polanski did was wrong but ..." and it hit me like an air horn in a Trappist monastery. With a simple wave of the conjunctive wand, we now believe that we can explain away absolutely anything!
Racism. All whites are inherently racists. Therefore anything that the race baiters and race mongers who promote race for profit and political gain determine to be racist, is. End of discussion. Pay on the way out.
Diversity. All whites are inherently racists and xenophobes. Therefore anything done or promoted by anyone non-white and/or of non Judeo-Christian background is automatically assumed to be of purer intention and worthiness. Jews used to be included in the "other" column in the diversity medley because they had been enslaved and persecuted for thousands of years. But now, because the Palestinians are more persecuted – at least according to PBS and NPR – Jews have pretty much been tossed into the "not-diverse enough" pile. I don't think that has anything to do with Israel being the last loyal ally of the Reagan/Bush America (which is to say, the non-diverse America).
Global Warming. All Americans are greedy materialists. We use far more than our share of material goods and services, most specifically carbon based energy. Global Warming is Gaia's way of punishing us for being capitalistic and successful. Therefore, global warming, here-to-forth known as "Climate Change" since the earth seems to be cooling now, can only be reversed if we give all of our stuff to countries that don't have anything now. That way it will be fairer. We'll have way less stuff (like jobs and GDP) and our diverse brethren will get their turn at trashing the earth.
Global Warming will never be relative. It will never get "better" and it will never go away. That's because conservatives will always be racists and Al Gore has a lot of carbon credits to sell.

WEBINAR: Antibiotic resistance - a silent threat in a noisy pandemic era
03.03.21 | Event
Ricky Molloy
To follow up on the seminar in Brussels in 2018, the Nordic Council wishes to engage in renewed discussions with European Parliament members, the Commission and relevant partners to address the topic of antimicrobial resistance.
Follow the webinar LIVE here from 2 PM:
The significant and ongoing increase in the use of antibiotics has led to a growing global problem in the form of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. COVID-19 and its effects further underline the importance of the Nordic and EU countries taking action. Failure to make the right policy decisions now may have grave consequences in the decades to come. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) could also pose a serious threat to the treatment of people infected with COVID-19. The Nordic Council is inviting members of other parliamentary bodies to further discuss what concrete actions and measures must be taken next to deal with the threat of AMR in the light of COVID-19.
The programme will continously be updated

Åsa Melhus
Professor, Uppsala University
Session on the perspectives and concerns about antimicrobial resistance
The WHO has identified antibiotic resistance as one of the biggest threats to the health of the world's population. Recent studies indicate that in Europe alone, an estimated 33,000 people die each year due to antibiotic resistance. Worldwide, an estimated 700,000 people die each year because of antibiotic resistance, and the numbers are expected to increase sharply if current developments continue.

Gunnar Skov Simonsen
Professor of clinical microbiology, University of Tromsø, Norway
14.50 Debate with speakers
Questions from Nordic Parliamentarians, MEPs and the audience
Session on ways to accelerate efforts and explore links with Covid-19
The pandemic is forcing the Nordic countries, Europe and the rest of the world to act and respond to antibiotic resistance. Coherent efforts must therefore be considered, both nationally and across international borders. Covid-19 and the spread of antibiotic resistance have several similarities: Both are global pandemics that can be combated through prevention efforts. But how can this be done, and what can we learn from Covid-19 in the fight against antibiotic resistance?

Learn the secrets of the Russian Breath Masters through this comprehensive course of breath training drills.
Easy movements, exceptional breathing tactics and truly profound underlying principles create an ideal exercise progression.
If you are an athlete, Systema Breathing is your ultimate tool to vastly advance your performance! If you are seeking to enhance your life - this is the best way to uncover the infinite reserves of energy, power, health, and happiness that you hold.
Systema Breathing is specifically filmed to supplement the book Let Every Breath..., as well as Systema training sessions and seminars.
Bonjour, Je tenais a ecrire ce mail , pour dire a quel point les principes du systema expliques dans le DVD breathing avaient ameliore mon quotidien .
Ca fait quelques mois que je l'ai achete et que j'appliquais les diffrents principes dans ma vie quotidienne , au travail , pour porter des choses et ca m'aidait deja beaucoup . Mais depuis vendredi 14/10/11, je me suis fait opere d'une hernie inguinale (dans le bas-ventre) . De retour chez moi le vendredi soir , bouger me fait mal et faire nimporte quel mouvement m'est assez penible, c'est la que les principes du systema m'aident incroyablement : par exemple utiliser une partie du corps en en decontractant une autre , evacuer la douleur et les divers tensions grâce a la respiration . exemple pratique : je suis couche pour me relever je maide de mon bras en decontractant mon ventre tout en respirant correctement et si ca me fait mal quand même j'utilise la respiration explosive. voila un exemple parmis tant d'autres pour dire a quel point le systema m'aide quotidiennement. Le plus etonnant dans tout ca c'est que je n'ai appris des choses qu'en regardant des DVD et videos sur internet. je n'ai encore jamais mis les pieds dans un cours 'reel' de systema...alors si un DVD a pu m'apprendre ca , qu est ce que ca va être quand je pourrai pratique "pour de vrai" . Ma conclusion c'est que je remercie Vladimir Vasiliev et toutes les personnes qui ont permis de rendre le systema accessible a tous .
I enjoy using Russian Systema because it calms my mind and body.
I used to take Tae Kwon Do and Kung Fu which was mostly based on techniques and forms, but with Russian Systema I feel a more natural flow of my body. I can move freely without feeling tension and channelling my inner energy to direct it to where I want it to go.
The breathing exercises helps me pace myself so that I can breathe better and to cure myself from constant headaches. I feel calm and stress free when using Russian Systema, I don't have to think, I just do it. I would definitely recommend this to a family or friend because of how intuitive it is, it's not difficult but it's not easy either. The more you practice it, the more you can grow and learn other ways so you don't limit yourself.
A must have no matter what art you practice or if you even study a art at all.
My name is Alex Vaughan and I am a Captain on the Kansas City, Missouri Fire Department and a father of four children.
As a Captain I am responsible for making decisions that affect the well being of the citizens in Kansas City and of my men who serve under me. As a father, I face the same process with my family.
I have recently started taking Systema classes with Stephen Crews of Strategos International and have really enjoyed it. The new techniques of self defense, breathing and exercise help in my work as well as everyday life.
In the past, I have faced many stressful situations on the fire ground or other inherently dangerous or emotional scenes. I have to stay calm and focused while making tactical decisions. Maintaining focus has been difficult because I tend to start breathing through my mouth more than I should and that habit can interfere with keeping up a calm persona in a highly challenging situation.
Now, Systema breathing techniques help to sort through the decision making process much more effectively and to be more at peace with my emotions and physical body.
While in house fires and in search and rescue mode - I practice burst/recovery breathing. And while responding to emergency scenes - the calming counted breathing helps the tactical process. It relaxes me mentally and my body does not hinder my thinking and my actions.
In short, I am fully confident that I will continue practicing what I have learned through Systema with the breathing techniques and look forward to training consistently in the future. I know it will help me achieve a higher level of physical and emotional peacefulness while experiencing the rigors of my calling as a firefighter and a father of 4.
Since starting Systema, I have been able to recognize when I am tense (which seems to have been most of the time previously) and to learn how to relax.
This has been a blessing both in my daily life and on the fencing strip.
As a competitive epeeist, I'm very excited about the pronounced improvement I've noticed in my fencing. In modern fencing, you need explosive footwork, tiny blade actions, which are reliant on fine-motor skills, and a highly honed sense of distance and timing. Before I started Systema training, I would get tense during a bout, and my blade work and footwork would become extremely sloppy and poorly timed. Accordingly, my performance would vary wildly from bout to bout. Since I've started to integrate Systema breathing and relaxation principles into my fencing, my performance has become more consistent and has improved dramatically. I still get tense during bouts, but because of the Systema exercises I have been shown, I am able to recognize that I am tense and use my training to relax. I noticed improvement after my first month of training, and I've continued to improve since. I would encourage anyone who is interested in improving their performance in any area to take Systema.
Usually hearing about breathing exercises one thinks Yoga, Qigong, Tai Chi or styles of Kung Fu.
When I heard about the Russian Martial Arts using breathing I was skeptical about how useful any of it would be. I was very surprised when after reading the book and trying a few breathing exercises, just how helpful it was. It\'s not about making you hit harder or giving you more than human abilities, rather it is simple straight forward ways to increase your lung capacity and stamina. The first part explains simple ways to breathe more efficiently and ridding yourself of stress. It goes on to a few simple exercises which help to increase your lung capacity and get you used to breathing while under stress. If you are exerting yourself without breathing well, odds are you won\'t last long. Anyone could benefit from this book, if it\'s for running a mile or just reducing day to day stress.
Vladimir is brilliant, humble and inspirational -- keep up the great work.
Having been a professional cyclist for 12 years, I decided to test some of Vlad's drills on the bike. I used pedal revolutions to measure the effectiveness of various exercises. The results were simply astounding! I crested my usual mountain top in 1/3 of the time w/out any lactic acid build up in the legs while pedaling a 53X18 gear. It's as if I had doubled my lung capacity instantly and the recovery period was equally astounding. Highly recommend this DVD for all & especially athletes.
"Systema Breathing" DVD is the companion to Mr.
Vasiliev's ground-breaking book "Let Every Breath", which for the first time outside of Russia, explains and illustrates the ancient art of Russian breathing exercises and health cultivation.
Mr. Vasiliev's DVD collection on Systema, The Russian Martial Art, has received critical acclaim for its contribution to the areas of self-defense and personal protection. In "Systema Breathing" he shows us how to defend ourselves against a very different enemy, the silent killers of stress, tension, pain and fatigue. For this reason alone, this DVD makes a significant contribution to the areas of exercise and wellness education.
Mr. Vasiliev begins with concepts and principles of correct breathing, by showing us how to breathe continuously in a tension-free manner. He shows us how often we stop breathing during normal daily activities because of anger, fear, concentration, money, deadlines, etc. and how this immediately creates larger and smaller tensions in the body. "When we stop breathing, the brain demands the body's oxygen and the body is deprived and becomes tense, which stops circulation and leads to many health problems."
Mr. Vasiliev shows us how continuous breathing informs correct movement and naturally anticipates effort, which allows one to adapt to stress. As an ex-special forces operative and trainer in the elite special operations unit, Mr. Vasiliev has a deep understanding of stress and its effects on both psyche and body. He shows us how inhalation through the nose and exhalation through the mouth allows us to breathe with a maximum of efficiency and minimum of tension. He explains, "Your movement should stay inside the breath". This has two meanings: first that we should breathe sufficiently, not more or less in quantity than we need.
Mr. Vasiliev demonstrates that too much air intake creates tension in the upper chest, which then inhibits movement. Secondly, the breath should precede and complete each movement, with each cycle sufficient in quantity to the required activity. Another accessible technique involves exploring breath control in exercises involving tension versus relaxation.
Mr. Vasiliev instructs his student to inhale and increase tension throughout the body, then release tension during exhalation. Again the task is led and completed by the breathing. Then he instructs to inhale tension into isolated areas such as the arms, while keeping all other parts relaxed. Finally, on the inhalation the tension is generated in a wave from the feet up through the body into the hands, and then released while exhaling from hands through the body to the feet. As the viewer, you can try these as you are watching. Any initial tension that the body is carrying will be cleared out with the tension you create and release with the breath.
Another useful method is "audible" breathing, which simply means breathing so you can hear it. This is used to remind us to breathe during all activities, which will eliminate more and more of the silent stress associated with forgetful breathing. Mr. Vasiliev cites three levels to Russian breathing practice. The first level is breathing without movement, such as when lying, kneeling, sitting or standing.
The second is breathing in one position, but with movement cycles, and here he uses the common exercises of push-ups, sit-ups and squats. He explains these as 'breathing exercises', not kinetic or strengthening exercises, and that these well known movements work extremely well because they exercise all the muscle groups and tax the lungs in diverse ways.
The third level is to take breathing into motion, matching inhalation and exhalation to the natural rhythm of walking or running, increasing the length of the breath up to as much as ten steps and then back down to one. In each exercise, he carefully instructs how to keep the lungs open through proper body use, such as keeping the back straight, hips and shoulders properly aligned, so that the diaphragm is not compromised and the intercostal muscles fully advantaged.
It is a pleasure to watch Mr. Vasiliev. As he explains, demonstrates and leads his students through the exercises, his body communicates an ease and effortless capacity to perform any task, giving his teachings a solid feel. In class demonstrations, I am used to seeing him run circles around his attackers. In "Systema Breathing", his stillness, relaxation, clarity and effortless movement showed me how that is possible. Mr. Vasiliev points out that our purpose is, "to replace the physical effort with the breath effort", so that eventually the muscles are no more tired at the end of the repetitions than at the beginning.
He shows how to use 'burst breathing" with short inhalations and exhalations to switch pain receptors off, and then longer, smoother breathing to clear out tension and pain. Where Mr. Vasiliev's book, "Let Every Breath" clearly explains and illustrates Russian breath and health cultivation, the DVD shows us how it is done. One is left with the impression that Mr. Vasiliev has only begun to teach about breathing, as hinted when says, "Most of us think that the breath stops only with the lungs, but it can penetrate to wherever you need it to go." I have been involved in Eastern breath practice and teaching for over 30 years now and I can tell you that "Systema Breathing" and its accompanying book, "Let Every Breath" are seminal works in our understanding of the breath and it's potential to change our physical and psychological reality. Useful to all, Systema Breathing gives us the capacity to significantly change our quality of life as we go about our daily routines. Now that's worth our time, isn't it?

NEW YORK — A frisky cat that got loose at New York's Kennedy Airport has been captured after more than a week on the lam.
WABC-TV reports that Pepper the cat was lured out of hiding early Saturday.
Pepper bolted from her owner April 20 as they were preparing to board a flight to China.
The owner was moving to China for a new job and had to leave without Pepper.
Pepper was spotted several times in non-public areas but eluded capture.
Then on Saturday, the officer who led the rescue effort enlisted the help of a friend of Pepper's owner, who called Pepper by her Mandarin name and enticed her with food. The officer and the friend then grabbed Pepper.
The friend will be responsible for getting Pepper to the owner.


Cead Mile Failte, a hundred thousand welcomes to "CELTIC ON THE COSTAS", a weeks celebration of the best of Celtic Music Traditions. Like the people themselves the music of Ireland, Scotland and Wales has transcended all kinds of boundaries and has become for many, the music of the soul, an international form of communication that leaves you happy and fulfilled in its wake.
It always excites and invariably liberates the spirit and in the process of doing so, overcomes all kinds of obstacles as it journeys across many continents and on around the world to where it is then passed down from generation to generation. Once it has touched your inner being, you will remain a convert for life. This, is why one can state with confidence that, unlike some modern musical trends, Celtic Music is NOT merely a passing phase but more a way of life!
It has been around for countless generations and will no doubt be around for many more. The massive migrations of Irish and Scottish people throughout history but particularly after the famine, and the Scottish highland clearances brought the music to the US and Canada. Big cities like New York, Boston and Chicago developed a vibrant traditional Celtic music culture due entirely to the large numbers of Irish immigrants. Other places like Cape Breton, in Nova Scotia, settled by people from Scotland benefited in a similar way. Closer to home, the UK also boasts a very vibrant Celtic Music culture. This is due in no small part to the trojan efforts of Comhaltas Cheoiltoiri Eireann (CCE) who organise the annual Fleadh Cheoil na Breataine, (the All Britain Festival). Now, with your help, and under the stewardship of all round musician, Sean Sweeney from Longford, we plan to bring our Celtic Music traditions to different parts of Europe and take this opportunity to invite you and your friends to join us in October 2019 in Albufeira in the Algarve to celebrate with us our first CELTIC ON THE COSTAS Music Festival, where we can share and learn from each other and as a natural consequence, contribute to the passing on of this wonderful tradition to the next generation.
We look forward to welcoming you and your friends to the Grande Real Santa Eulália Resort & Hotel Spa in Albufeira where a host of the best musicians and singers have been invited to perform for your enjoyment.
Flights from Stansted and Gatwick to Faro Airport. Supplements up to £25 per person will be applicable for Manchester, Birmingham, East Midlands, Leeds, Liverpool and Bristol as well as Irish Airports (Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Shannon) – please call for details.

Emily Earley
"If we want to see birds or butterflies, owls or trees, we have to work to make sure we preserve places for them. It's all about love of the land." –Emily Earley
Friends and colleagues of Emily Earley say she sets an example for citizen conservationists with her spirited "can-do" attitude and infectious enthusiasm. She has generously supported conservation causes for several decades and is unafraid to ask others to do the same.
The native New Yorker moved to Madison with her husband, James, where she pursued a master's degree and he a PH.D. She raised three children before setting out on a professional career as program coordinator and editor of technical publications in the UW-Madison's Institute for Environmental Studies. Steven Born, a professor emeritus of environmental studies of UW-Madison, recalled that Emily coordinated environmental programs and "was the stickler editor of the institute publications – always interested in assuring that science was shared accurately and clearly."
The list of conservation groups she supported is long, but she was partial to The Nature Conservancy. She joined the board of trustees of the new Wisconsin chapter of TNC in 1964 and has remained active since then. "I got to go out and work on sites. I wasn't a scientist, but I knew scientists, and I could get them to help me," she said.
She encouraged the Wisconsin chapter to be more active in managing land it acquired. "The Nature Conservancy's initial direction and guidance for land stewardship – now a well –established and critical program – came from Emily," said State Director Mary Jean Huston. "She realized that without active management, many of the natural values that Nature Conservancy preserves were established to protect could be lost."
Earley chaired the chapter's Stewardship Committee, setting up a subcommittee for each preserve and organizing volunteer work parties to accomplish land management. She also pressed the group to devote more funds to stewardship. In 1982, trustees voted to raise an amount equal to 25 percent of each land acquisition to fund stewardship for the property. She also lobbied successfully for paid stewardship staff.
Among her many other activities, Earley was a founding board member of the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute, a public outreach program at Northland College in Ashland. She served on the council of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters from 1979-83, successfully encouraging the organization to set up a small grants program to fund field research on plants, animals and natural communities.
She was a charter member of 1000 Friends of Wisconsin, a group that promotes wise land use. She served on the board and as vice president of the Natural Heritage Land Trust in Dane County and has been a longtime supporter of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum.
As a charter member of the Wisconsin Conservation Corps board, she served as the group's environmental expert, helping assure that crews of young workers provided muscle for conservation projects across the state.
Friends and associates across the state offer glowing praise for her work. They include Natural Resources Board Chair Jonathan Ela, who said: "It must be understood that when Emily commits herself to service for an organization, the service is never nominal…When an organization acquires Emily as an asset, it acquires a package: leadership, intellectual stimulus, a prod for getting others to work harder, and a fund-raiser and donor."
Now in her 90s, Earley remains active on a variety of causes. "I meet all these young people on these boards. That's what keeps me going," she said.
For more information read her Hall of Fame monograph.
Emily Earley passed away April 16, 2011.

Never have I felt so much love, or as fulfilled as with the boys in Mundo de Niños. Our hours spent playing on the beach, in soccer matches, working on homework, listening to their stories, sharing birthday celebrations and the day to day arguments and laughs are hours I would never wish to take back.
