The armed conflict in Palestine, born out of weeks of tensions which followed the kidnapping and the subsequent murder of three Israeli teenagers and the killing of a Palestinian teen apparently done as an act of vengeance, continues to escalate, despite the repeated urgings by the UN and the US to cease hostilities. After airstrikes and bombardments from sea failed to stop the repeated rocket attacks by Palestinian militants, Israeli ground forces launched a major offensive which already resulted in significant civilian casualties.
An international conference led by Russia and the United States is needed to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal told Sputnik.
Palestine welcomes any cooperation between Russia and the United States aimed at restoring the Middle East peace process and facilitating direct talks between Israel and Palestine, Palestinian Deputy Prime Minister Ziad Abu Amr told Sputnik.
Palestine welcomes US President Donald Trump's desire to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Thursday.
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict "has only a political, negotiated solution based on international law," Vladimir Putin said.
Donald Trump would like to be "a mediator, or facilitator, or arbitrator" in settling the Palestine-Israel conflict.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday to deduct another $1 million from the funds that Israel annually transfers to the United Nations in response to a recent ruling in UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which labeled Israel an occupant country of Jerusalem.
Palestine's Foreign Ministry denounced Thursday the killing of a Palestinian national by Israeli soldiers after a ramming incident allegedly involving the victim's car near the Palestinian town of Bethlehem in the West Bank on Wednesday.
The Israel Defense Forces killed the attacker.
Palestine wants China to be involved in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki said Thursday.
Russia is concerned about the pause in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, which will undermine the prospects of settlement, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday.
The German chancellor said she saw no alternative to a "two-state solution" of the Isarel-Palestine standoff.
The conversation between US President and his Palestinian counterpart was fruitful as Trump favours Middle Eastern peaceful conflict resolution.
The plan to relocate the Palestinian state from the West Bank to the Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, proposed by the Israeli Minister Ayoob Kara, was dismissed as "foolish" by Saeb Erekat, the secretary general of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), on Wednesday.
The Palestinian leadership has not received a notification from the United States on the rejection of the two-state solution principle and believes that it is still relevant, Husam Zomlot, Strategic Affairs Adviser to the Palestinian president, told Sputnik.
Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit condemned on Tuesday Israel for adopting a law legalizing dozens of Israeli outposts built on private Palestinian land, the organization said in a statement.
Palestine at the upcoming conference in Paris will promote the two-state solution as the main means of settling the conflict with Israel, and will try to convince other attendees of its necessity, Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) secretary-general Saeb Erekat said Friday.
The Israeli prime minister criticized the upcoming peace process conference slated for Sunday.

Apocaloptimistic: the psychology of climate action
Posted by Sarah Day | 19 Apr, 2014 | 0 |
A few decades ago, when it was recognised that men have empathy, some jolly person came up with the term Sensitive New Age Guy to describe the male who cares about people and things that are not himself—what PickUp website describes as having "feminine characteristics such as being very timid".
It is said that many a SNAG can be found in the environment movement. It is also said that the environment movement is home to the SNAG's diametric, the strong effective woman or, what PickUp fans would call the AWFUL BITCH.
In truth, of course, the movement's more diverse than this and I for one would place myself in a whole different hollow stereotype that shares characteristics of both of the above and call myself more of a Sensitive yet Cynical Rue Age Girl or—as the Jeep driver who nearly flattened me in the bike lane today would say—(get out of the way you stupid) SCRAG. To explain further, the acronym describes a modern day Girl who is Sensitive (having feelings), Cynical (having eyes) and living in Age that will cause severe Rue as we reminisce from our fire ravaged drought ridden beachless future.
Being sensitive or, as I like to call it, being interested in the wellbeing of others, gives one a large stake in the health of the world because it's hard to be happy and have a nice time when others are suffering or going extinct. And I dare say there's many people outside the environment movement, even some very masculine men I suspect, who care about the damage we're doing to the planet, especially this whole climate change fiasco.
So why are we still stuck here, reading and/or writing articles about the need to take action on climate change, feeling quite appalled and not a bit perplexed about the lack of action actually taking place? After asking lots of people and reading some smart people's books, I've decided the main problem is our brain. It's programmed to handle global demise the same way as death (i.e. badly) so the only way to seriously examine the question is through the framework of grieving as explained by Psychcentral.com.
Stage 1: Denial
This is when the news is so bad, and its associated emotions so overwhelming, that the truth is too painful to face. We "block out the words and
hide from the facts" as a "response that carries us through the first wave of pain". How else can we understand the persistent logic declared by world leaders and reported in the press that mining and oil companies making a profit is more important than the world as we know it continuing to exist. I don't know. But I guess it means we should feel sorry for BP, Exxon and Shell because they are still way back in stage one of their grief. But hold your sympathy for Keystone XL whose newly tendered environmental report on the Canadian tar sands project states that climate change is very real, extremely dangerous and definitely caused by CO2, but anyways, they'll be extracting and selling oil equivalent to 480 million kg of CO2 per day (see Stage 6: Payoff).
Stage 2: Anger
Reading the last paragraph may have given you a taste of Stage 2, proving that Stage 1 is more conducive to relaxation. Being angry is no fun, it causes you a tummy ache and its raucous expression may result in a slap or arrest. But anger can also be energising, they say. Get out there, they say, let your anger fuel action. Well I say, who wants to be around angry people? You'll scare all the sensitive people away until climate rallies consist of ten irate red faces spitting contempt at pedestrians.
Psychcentral says now's the time to "ask for clear answers to your questions". Stay home and do your research, find out whose fault it really is and how to get them (they didn't say that last bit), why not start with the Union of Concerned Scientists report on the corporations lobbying against climate action or Crikey's The Dirty Dozen – Australia's biggest climate foes. Then best be moving on to Stage 3, yeah?
Stage 3: Bargaining
It seems to me that most of us in the northern suburbs are well ensconced in Stage 3. Sure we're angry, but our revenge is doing nicely in the fridge, waiting for the appropriate serving time.
How do you bargain with climate change? You buy energy efficient light bulbs and water efficient shower heads, you recycle and compost, write emails to the paper and politicians, grow your own veggies, ride a bike and go to climate rallies. You keep score in your head between headlines like Another year, another failed climate summit and Farmers lead coal seam gas protest by example.
There's a lot to be said for bargaining, it changes things at a local level, provides a sense of agency and makes life more interesting and tasty. As Psychcentral says, "the normal reaction to feelings of helplessness and vulnerability is often a need to regain control". Bargaining certainly provides more control than denial or anger, but bargaining is not acceptance. This implies that there's some reality about climate change we're still resisting, which is probably because the next stage is:
Stage 4: Depression
An effective method of breaching the comforting arms of Stage 3 is to snuggle up in a comfy chair with hot beverage in hand and tuck into David Spratt and Philip Sutton's horrifying Climate Code Red or Clive Hamilton's highly distressing Requiem for a Species. When your brain tries to tell you they're sci-fi or speculation (Stage 1), accept that both tomes are mired in scientific fact and simple logic. For a more palatable mix of apocalypse and bee keeping, you could opt for Bill McKibben's Oil and Honey instead.
Why would anyone voluntarily chose depression, you say. Well, I found that I was quite anxious and depressed anyway, before purposely seeking out the gritty facts of climate change. Reading engaging summaries of the havoc to come provided a kind of antidote to not exactly knowing but sensing an unfathomable pending doom. And it freed up a lot of effort previously engaged in converting facts into denial, therefore providing bonus energy for dealing with reality and thus hooning towards the promised land known as:
Stage 5: Acceptance
We are truly in the deepest kind of globalised shit imaginable and nothing we're currently doing is enough to get us out.
If a significant number of people accepted this position and took the appropriate action, change would be inevitable.
Acceptance would look like hundreds of thousands of people refusing to buy energy generated from coal, pulling their super and investments out of fossil fuels, finding ways to live without reliance on this industry, even if it meant their lifestyle took a shock (it's not as shocking as a six degree temperature rise).
It would look like hundreds of thousands of people getting physically in the way of deforestation, fossil fuel extraction, transport and production; it would look like politicians afraid of losing the next election if they don't make drastic changes to investment, infrastructure and law; it would look like leaders of industry who hinder action on climate change facing prosecution and going to jail.
We need the sensitive people to hurry up with their grieving process and get stuck into some hardcore acceptance. We need the insensitive people to grow a pair of tear ducts. We need real action on climate change now.

Shout out to the Weekend Warriors.
While attending a music festival, most of us face the daunting fact that we have to go back to reality and responsibilities - inducing ourselves with pills, boos and horrid decisions. Immersing yourself in music festival heaven, along with a multitude of recreational pleasures is a young adult's delight - but can come with repercussions harder than the drop at the main stage. Rather than diving into the workweek with barely a pulse or even worse, an unwanted desire to refrain from future festivals - premeditate your music festival protocol to evade an unbearable workweek. Here are a few tips to help you avoid the L and bounce back into reality with grace.
There is not a chance you are going to cook your veggies during your malnourished weekend. Buy yourself some multi vitamins from your local drugstore to sustain your health and wellness throughout the festival. Adding to that, grab some 5-HTP supplements to preserve your mood after the debauchery ends. This helps the production of your serotonin – giving you that positive mentality you need back. With this protocol, your chances of getting sick will become substantially lower, and you'll be a lot happier.
Alcohol already hits low on the health scale, but adding sugar to that equation isn't the best combination. Chasers such as soda, and most juices contain heavy amounts of sugar – resulting in a potentially tortuous hangover the next day. Although, we are not all a badass and able to drink our alcohol without some sweet chaser, there are alternatives for damage control. Aim towards less sugary chasers such as soda water, lemon juice or lime juice to prevent future illness.
Sunday is usually the last day of the festival and you want to send yourself off properly. However, with a laundry list of responsibilities the following week, partying like it is your last day on Earth isn't the wisest decision. Your bounce back time may take longer than anticipated so refrain from going too hard and take care of yourself.
When you see the opportunity to catch some zzz's, CEASE the moment. It is a marathon not a sprint. Your weekend is bound to have some intermissions so hop on that couch or curl up on that floor. Sleep is imperative to your comeback story - take a snooze during the day so you are a functional human being for the future.
No, alcohol is not what I'm advising. WATER - drink lots of water all weekend long to uphold your precious immune system. Your hydration is vital to your full body recovery, so make sure to pack that camel-bak before your festival endeavors.
All in all, keep going to festivals. You have duties in the world but you also owe it to yourself to have some fun. Start implementing these simple tips in your festival lifestyle and find that beautiful balance.

When 2 Became 1: London and Paris
October 30, 2018 Adam
We all know about the awesome combinations of peanut butter and jelly, rum and coke and Shaggy and Scooby, but what about London and Paris? Both cities are great – but it's together that they create the world's most perfect pairing.
For the first time ever, Paris and London are joining forces to show how easy it is to discover both as one amazing destination – via the Eurostar which takes just over 2 hours.
Of course, exploring Paris and London's abundance of museums, galleries, restaurants and historic sites will take time, so intrepid explorers are being urged to pack their bags NOW for Europe's coolest new destination for 2019, knowing they can return again and again over a lifetime to uncover more.
Paris and London in numbers:
177 Michelin restaurants
325 museums
62,753 restaurants
506 theatres
5 UNESCO heritage sites
2 obelisks
54 ghost stations
635 parks and gardens
42,350,852 selfie opportunities**
London and Paris for Foodies:
Famous food writer Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher once said: "first we eat, then we do everything else." If this food-centric approach to travel strikes a chord, then you've come to the right place. London and Paris restaurants have earned a total of 177 Michelin Stars, the most sought-after award in the culinary industry. With all this choice, your only problem may be trying to choose between Dinner by Heston Blumenthal or dining at L'Arpège – or you can have both!
For something less high-end, you'll be spoiled for choice with 62,753 (!) restaurants to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for a macaron and café crème at Ladurée Champs-Elysées or a vegetarian brunch at Darwin's Brasserie at Sky Garden in the City of London, you'll have no problem hitting the spot. Not in the market for a sit-down meal? You can immerse yourself in the bright colours, alluring smells and hustle bustle of London's Borough Market, where you'll be tempted by cuisines from all over the globe, or you can take a step back in time to Paris' famous covered market Marché couvert les Enfants Rouges, which opened in 1615.
After you've feasted to your heart's content, take your pick from Paris and London's 490+ nightclubs where you can dance off all the freshly baked French croissants, or those warm bagels you picked up from famous Brick Lane Beigel Bake.
Paris and London for Culture Vultures:
If culture is what you're really looking for on your next European vacation, then both cities have it in spades.
With 325 museums to choose from, including world-renowned icons such as the British Museum, the National Gallery, the Musée du Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay and hidden gems such as the Sherlock Holmes Museum and the MAD – decorative art museum, it's hard to know where to begin! See blockbuster exhibitions, such as the highly anticipated Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition (opening February 2019) at the Victoria and Albert Museum or Michael Jackson: on the wall at Grand Palais (opening November 2018).
There is a wealth of heritage to be found when exploring the streets of Paris and London. Combined, the two cities have over 2,350 listed monuments. Some of the most unforgettable buildings include Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris and L'Arc de Triomphe, Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament.
For those with a passion for the stage, take your pick from the 506 theatres dotted across the Paris and London megacity. You can sing your heart out to Matilda the Musical in London's West End or discover the secret spaces & mysteries of the Palais Garnier, Paris' stunning opera house.
London and Paris for Dreamers:
Two cities = more to love! Think strolls along the Champs-Élysées then sipping on a cocktail with stunning views over St. Pauls' Cathedral on the chic rooftop terrace bar of Madison.
There's nothing more wonderful than discovering a place soaked in history with the people you love most. In the megacity of London and Paris you will find a total of 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites to discover. From the Banks of the Seine to the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey, you're bound to fall head over heels for these beautiful and iconic destinations.
London and Paris are also home to an astounding 635 parks and gardens, where you can stroll freely, stopping only to spot the deer in London's Richmond Park, or get your perfect shot for Instagram at Parc des Buttes-Chaumont . Alternatively, have a glass of rosé at Rosa Bonheur, gaze over the lake at Bois de Boulogne or pack yourselves a picnic and drink a glass of wine as you watch the sun set from the top of Primrose Hill.
You might think you're all 'romanced-out', but London and Paris have over 3,500 hotels where you can finish your day in the perfect way. Be that glamour and chic at Hotel Molitor, with its swimming pool and rooftop terraces that offer up astonishing views of the Eiffel Tower, or relaxing in one of East London's coolest hipster hotels such as the Scandi-inspired Hoxton Hotel.
Paris and London for the Quirky:
Add a touch of rainbow to your Instagram feed with the curiously colourful houses or cobbled streets which line the path ahead on the enchanting Butte aux Cailles and quirky Portobello Road.
For those who appreciate the darker side of life, why not go on the hunt for some of London and Paris' spooky secrets: there are plenty of ghostly goings on, with approximately 54 abandoned underground stations underneath the very streets you walk, including London's Aldwych Station (open to the public for special events) and Paris' Champs-de-Mars Metro station (opened to the public on Annual Heritage Days).
And how about this for the macabre – if you were to take a walk through the eerie Catacombes de Paris (open to the public) and in the rarely visited Catacombs of Brompton Cemetery (open to the public for special events) in London's Royal Parks you would find over 6 million skeletons…

Q: Is it possible to calculate the desired area analytically? I have the three two-variable curves $f,g,h$ with $0\leq x\leq \frac {\pi}{2} $ and $0 \leq y \leq \pi$
I use  ContourPlot as
f := Cos[x] + 2 Cos[x - 2 y];
 g := Cos[x - y] + 2 Cos[x + y];
 h := Cos[2 x - y] + 2 Cos[y];

ContourPlot[{f == 0, g == 0, h == 0}, {x, 0, \[Pi]/2}, {y, 0, \[Pi]}]

and I get the attached plot. I want to calculate the area between these curves (the upper part, the lower part, and the area between the middle curves).
My question:

Is it possible to do that analytically?

A: Partial answer here.
This is quite a brute force method. Nevertheless it gives a partial analytic result. Will give the generating expression and results, instead of showing all the work to avoid clutter.
Setup

*

*Find the analytic expressions for the curves. Solving for f, g, h

*

*Solve[f == 0] gave 8 results. Manually picked/simplified for your two blue curves.

*

*y0 = -ArcCos[-(1/2) Sqrt[2 - Cos[x]^2 - Sqrt[4 - 5 Cos[x]^2 + Cos[x]^4]]]

*y3 = ArcCos[-(1/2) Sqrt[2 - Cos[x]^2 - Sqrt[4 - 5 Cos[x]^2 + Cos[x]^4]]]

*Solve[g == 0] gave 4 results. Manually picked/simplified for your yellow curve.

*

*y1 = -ArcCos[-(Sqrt[Sin[x]^2]/Sqrt[1 + 8 Cos[x]^2])]

*Solve[h == 0, y] gave 4 results. Manually picked/simplified for your green curve.

*

*y2 = ArcCos[-(Sin[2 x]/Sqrt[5 + 4 Cos[2 x]])]

*Find the one intersection for f and g

*

*Solve[{f == 0, g == 0}] gave 12 results.

*But, only only result satisfying the intersection near (0.66,1.32) is (xfg, yfg)

*

*xfg = ArcTan[Sqrt[3/5]]

*yfg = ArcTan[Sqrt[15]])

*Now it is straightforward to perform the analytical integration using Mathematica.
Solving for Area
Abox = \[Pi]/2*\[Pi];
AUnderY3 = Integrate[FullSimplify@y3, {x, 0, xmax}];
AUnderY2 = Integrate[FullSimplify@y2, {x, 0, xmax}];
ABweenY1Y0 = Integrate[FullSimplify@(y1 - y0), {x, 0, xfg}];
ABweenY0Y1 = Integrate[FullSimplify@(y0 - y1), {x, xfg, xmax}];

Only one of the above expressions gave a closed form analytical expression.
AUnderY2 = 1/12 (4 \[Pi]^2 - 3 (2 Log[2]^2 + PolyLog[2, 1/4]))

All the other expressions failed to resolve to anything in a closed form. However, if you evaluate the following expression numerically, you get the correct result that @cvgmt posted.
N@(Abox - AUnderY3 + AUnderY2 - ABweenY1Y0 - ABweenY0Y1) = 3.15374

Maybe there are ways to simplify/integrate other area expressions to get closed forms as well. The problematic functions are y0 and y3. y1 and y2 both have closed forms for straight-up integration.

A: You can get analytical expressions for all integrals if you solve curves f and g for x[y] and h for y[x].
Have a look at the plot.
f = Cos[x] + 2 Cos[x - 2 y];
g = Cos[x - y] + 2 Cos[x + y];
h = Cos[2 x - y] + 2 Cos[y];

GridLines -> (gl =

For simplification i eliminated Sin or Cos in equations.

As part of the recently published Global Marine Technology Trends 2030 (GMTT 2030) report, QinetiQ's Iain Kennedy examines how nanomaterials will play an increasingly important role in tomorrow's maritime industry.
Advanced Materials are a major subject of research in academia. They include all materials engineered to deliver specific physical and/or functional properties in their application. The trend with all metallic, ceramic, polymer and composite materials is to achieve improved capabilities such as strength, toughness, durability and other useful functionality by designing it in at the nanoscale and harnessing those properties in large structures.
The structure and properties of advanced materials at the 'nano' scale (i.e. one millionth of a millimetre) is now well understood. This is leading to the challenge of manufacturing advanced materials to realise capabilities in bulk structures. This is termed nano-engineering and these materials are referred to as nanomaterials. The research and commercialisation of nanomaterials will continue to accelerate and we expect that large scale structures with increasingly refined and reliable properties will be in use.
Desirable functionality such as environmental sensing, self-cleaning, self-repair, enhanced electrical conductance and shape modification is anticipated through the development of nanomaterials, and in turn, delivers performance benefits. We anticipate that affordable, reliable lightweight structures are increasingly required in surface, above surface and below surface platforms. This is driven by the need to use less fuel and reduce emissions as well as deploy fast reconfigurable autonomous systems.
This and other future advances are explored more detail in Global Marine Technology Trends 2030. The report, produced by QinetiQ, Lloyds Register and Southampton University, explores the emerging technology trends that are likely to impact on commercial shipping, naval operations and wider ocean-based industries before and up to 2030.

The reason this picture is successful, besides the graphically pleasing curl of the baby elephant's trunk, is because of the soft, diffused light. I took this picture at 11 o'clock in the morning when the sun was high in the sky and thus very contrasty. However, I noticed that the mother elephant's bulk shaded the baby, and that presented me with the perfect opportunity.
I shot this image in Kenya, and at this time of day it's hard to find great shots. I used a 500mm telephoto, plus a 1.4x teleconverter, to eliminate the sunlit portions of the scene. The 700mm of focal length gave me this tight composition in perfect light even though just outside this frame was harsh and contrasty sunlight.
Shooting a midday is a tough proposition, but with an alert eye and an awareness of what makes a strong picture, you can sometimes find excellent opportunities.

Paul George Konody was born in Budapest in 1872 and educated in Vienna before settling in London in 1889. From 1900 to 1902 he was editor of The Artist, and he was later an art critic for The Observer and the Daily Mail before the First World War. In 1914 he was one of three critics to be 'blessed' by Wyndham Lewis in Blast No. 1, and in 1917 he played an important role in Roberts being commissioned by the Canadian War Memorials Fund to paint the large-scale The First German Gas Attack at Ypres in 1918. He died in 1933.
This portrait was presumably painted after Roberts's war-artist work, and when exhibited at the Chenil Gallery in 1923 it was priced at £35. The painting has been in the Konody family since that date, although until recently art historians believed it to have been lost.


The avalanche danger is MODERATE today due to new snow falling on weak surface snow and increasing winds. Watch for changing conditions as the storm moves. In the Alpine triggering a slab avalanche, breaking 1-3' deep on a weak layer of snow remains possible. Additionally, triggering a larger slab breaking near the ground remains possible at elevations above 3,000'.
Our advisory page has changed! Information on the changes can be found HERE.
*Coming up on January 13th there is a FREE avalanche rescue clinic at Hatcher Pass. Practice with your gear on your way to the backcountry - clinic runs from 11am - 1:30pm.
Today is a transition day. We have had mostly cold, clear weather this week. Snow is forecasted to start falling this morning and winds are increasing, gusting into the 30s. The new snow will be falling on very weak surface snow. There is widespread surface hoar, with near-surface facets below. In the terrain around 2000' and below, this weak snow is more developed and is sitting on the New Year's melt-freeze crust. This has the potential to act as a bed surface. As the weather comes in today it will be important to pay attention to changing conditions. Slabs may form quickly, especially in leeward terrain. Quick hand pits or riding small terrain features can help check whether or not the new snow is sticking to the old snow surfaces. In steep terrain the weak surface snow can also act as a few inches of fast moving loose surface snow "sluff" that could catch you by surprise if you're not expecting it.
Surface hoar in the sunshine on Tuesday at 1700' on Sunburst, photo: Ray Koleser.
As we anticipate the weak snow on the surface getting buried today don't forget the old buried weak layers. The chances of triggering a persistent slab avalanche have been decreasing. However, it is not something that should totally be ruled out yet. We know that the snow from the New Year's storm snow is sitting on either buried surface hoar, buried near-surface facets or in thin snowpack areas, facets near the ground. This means there is poor snowpack structure and a persistent slab set-up above 2500'. Snowpack tests over the past few days have shown variable results but point to the continued potential for triggering an avalanche.
Triggering a slab is most likely in the upper elevations above 2,500', where NO crusts exist in the top foot of the snowpack.
Several tracks may be on the slope before a slab releases and no signs saying 'the slope is unstable' are likely to be present.
Larger slopes, 35 degrees and steeper are more suspect and those with rocky features.
Practice safe travel habits: expose only one person at a time, have an escape route planned, watch your buddies closely and view slopes as avalanche paths. If the snow does slide, where will it go? Avoid terrain traps.
Watch Wendy's Extended Column Test from yesterday, January 10th, on Seattle Ridge. It took some harder hits but still propagated (failed across the weak layer). This layer could still produce an avalanche.
Wendy's pit yesterday was near her pit location on Sunday. She had very similar results. The slab yesterday was a little deeper.
A poor snowpack structure still exists at high elevations above 3,000', human triggered large and dangerous, deep slab persistent avalanches are still possible. Weak sugary snow (basal facets) near the ground is creating a low probability/high consequence avalanche problem. Likely trigger spots will be in thinner areas of the snowpack that are connected to large, loaded slopes. Signs of instability will not likely be present and there may be tracks on the slope. The possibility of a deep slab avalanche should still be part of your decision-making before committing to big terrain in the Alpine.
Yesterday was a mixture of obscured to overcast to broken skies. Winds were in easterly 10-20 mph, gusting to 30. There were scattered, very light snow showers in the morning. Temperatures were in the teens to low 20s. Overnight temperatures rose as warm air moved into the area.
Today will be mostly cloudy with snow, 4-9" forecasted. Winds will be easterly 20-30 mph gusting into the 40s. Temperatures will be in the high 20s. Snow will continue overnight into Friday.
Friday afternoon the temperatures are forecasted to rise and Saturday looks like a shift to liquid precipitation at lower elevations. The pattern of the warm southerly flow combined with a series of low pressure systems could persist into next week.

William T. Shorey was a late 19th-century Caribbean-American whaling ship captain affectionately known to his crew as the Black Ahab, after Moby Dick's protagonist. He was born in Barbados July 13, 1859 and spent his life at sea. He learned navigation from a British ship captain and became a ship's officer by the age of 21. After only a decade at sea, he rose to command whaling ships sailing out of San Francisco.
Shorey was born free 25 years after the Maafa (slavery) was abolished in the British West Indies. His father was a Scottish sugar planter, and his mother Rosa Frazier was 'a beautiful creole woman' of African-descent. As the eldest of eight children, it was necessary for Shorey to begin working at a young age, and as a teenager he apprenticed as a plumber on the island before finding work as a cabin boy on a ship headed to Boston. Arriving in New England in the 1870s, Shorey became drawn to the whaling industry, and nearly died on one of his first hunts when a sperm whale he was pursuing attacked his boat. Shorey was saved when his crewmates succeeded in firing a bomb into the whale.
Learning navigation, Shorey rose quickly through the ranks, and by 1880, at age 21, he was serving as third mate on the Emma F. Herriman; a large Boston whaler that took him around the globe over the next three years. The Herriman crossed the north and south Atlantic oceans, stopped on the west coast of Africa, rounded the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa and sailed into the Indian Ocean. Another lengthy journey brought the vessel to Australia, where it passed through the Tasman Sea, traversed the wide southern Pacific, rounded Cape Horn and made calls at several South American ports, including Panama, before ending at San Francisco in late 1883. By this time, he was the Herriman's first officer. In 1886, still in his mid 20s, he was promoted to full command of the Herriman, becoming the only Black captain of a whaling vessel in the Pacific fleet.
Around this time, Shorey married Julia Shelton, the daughter of one of California's leading black families. For their honeymoon, the couple traveled to Hawaii on the Herriman. Life on a whaler remained precarious, however, and in 1891 one of his vessels sank in an ice pack near the Bering Sea. Fortunately, Shorey was able to rescue all of his crew. Between 1892 and 1902, Shorey commanded the whaler Andrew Hicks on eight lucrative voyages. On a typical journey he returned from the Sea of Japan with as much as 5,000 pounds of whalebone and nearly 600 barrels of whale and sperm oil.
In one of his final tours to the Sea of Okhotsk between Siberia and Japan, with his wife and 3-year-old daughter, Victoria, on board, Shorey steered his vessel through two major typhoons lasting several days. His crew later credited the "coolness and clever seamanship" of their commander for preventing a near-certain shipwreck on an ice drift off the coast of Siberia. Delilah Beasley, a pioneering black journalist in San Francisco and a friend of Shorey, reported Shorey's recollections:
"On a wild, stormy night we were driven into an ice-drift at Shanter Bay, and when daylight came we found ourselves caught by ice on every side. … There was nothing in the world we could do but wait for the ice-fields to break up, and for eight days we lay wedged in the drift while the tides carried us back and forth, ever threatening to carry us on rocks or dash us on the shore." Finally the ice was carried out to the open sea and the drift released the whaler.
Shorey retired from whaling in 1908 and lived in Oakland until his death from the Spanish flu pandemic in 1919. He is buried at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California.

Catalans Dragons 26 Leeds Rhinos 22
Follow live on Twitter
Four tries from Fouad Yaha overshadowed a hat trick from Ash Handley as the Rhinos lost out 26-22 in Perpignan.
The Rhinos got off to a fantastic start when a cut out pass from Richie Myler, against his former club, put Konrad Hurrell in space and he tipped his pass on to Ash Handley to touch down in the corner. Liam Sutcliffe added an excellent touchline conversion to give his side a 6-0 lead after six minutes.
Catalans came back strongly after that and forced three repeat sets on the Leeds line. However, the Rhinos stood firm and then Handley popped up to intercept a wide pass and raced 90 metres to score between the posts. Sutcliffe added the conversion to make it 12-0 after 15 minutes.
The Dragons went back on the attack and crossed for their first try when Yaha barged his way over from dummy half. Sam Tomkins added the conversion to cut the gap to 12-6.
However, importantly Leeds responded to that set back to cross for a third try. Great defence forced an error from the home side and Walker then created the space as he ran into the line to put Konrad Hurrell over for the try. Sutcliffe was unable to add the conversion from wide out but Leeds were good value for their 16-6 lead.
Catalans introduced their new star signing Kasiano after that score and the giant forward made an immediate impact. Back to back penalties gave the home side good field positon and eventually Yaha went over for his second try. Tomkins missed the conversion attempt.
Leeds were reduced to 12 men soon after when Brett Ferres was sin binned and in the next set Lucas Albert was awarded a try by the video referee. Tomkins added the conversion to level the game at 16-16 and that was how it stayed until half time.
Just after Ferres returned the Rhinos hit the front again with Hurrell earning his side a penalty with a rampaging run. Eventually Leeds made the most of the position as Handley was put over for his hat trick by a great cut out pass by Myler. Sutcliffe narrowly missed the conversion attempt but the Rhinos now led 20-16.
Once again the Dragons hit back as Yaha matched Handley's feet with a third try which Tomkins converted to put his side in front for the first time.
Leeds managed to level the game with a penalty from Sutcliffe but fell behind with seven minutes to go when Yaha collected his fourth try. Tomkins missed his conversion attempt to leave the Rhinos with a late chance to hit back.
The Rhinos thought they had scored when Parcell picked up a loose ball and ran over the line only for referee Hicks to pull play back for the initial knock on and the visitors could to make the most of a couple of late chances to level the game.

A construction boom for apartments in North Dakota bodes well for renters. Even though North Dakota experienced a period when its high apartment rental prices were similar to places like New York City, the growing number of apartment units entering the North Dakota market has led to rates dropping and leveling out. With the availability of dwellings that range from modest to luxury, apartment renters are sure to find one that suits their price range and lifestyle.
Located in the upper Midwest, the state of North Dakota is home to roughly 750,000 people. The capital city of Bismarck is located in Burleigh County in the south-central region, but the city is only the second largest in the state. Fargo, which sits in the eastern part of the state along the Minnesota border, is the largest city and considered an economic hub for Cass County and the surrounding region. Other well-known places in North Dakota include Minot, which is the county seat of Ward County and home to the Minot Air Force Base. The small town of Dickinson in Stark County has a big advantage with its position along Interstate 94. Dickinson is a popular stop for those driving to nearby Theodore Roosevelt National Park and for travelers going between the eastern and western areas of North Dakota.
Although the North Dakota economy has made headlines for its oil boom, the largest industries in the state are a mix of healthcare, education and other private companies. Hospital systems Sanford Health, Altru Health System and Trinity Health are considered among the top ten employers. Retail chain Wal-Mart has several locations throughout North Dakota, making the privately owned company another top employer. University of North Dakota in Grand Forks and North Dakota State University in Fargo are the largest higher education institutions in the state, which translates to a large number of jobs for North Dakotans.

Q: Update multiple rows in datatable without loop I have two datatable with conditions in application and want some processing for multiple rows to update column value.
For example:
I have datatable1 with 10000 rows. I want to filter rows by datatable.select("condition") and as per condition, I want to update row values.
If for any condition, I found 20 rows from datatable. I want to update those 20 records in one shot. Not in any loop. I have datarow array for those values to update in datable.

A: To Update Row With Multiple Condition use This
    datatable.Select(string.Format("[lineNo]='{0}' and [Position]>='{1}' ", lineNo, Position)).ToList<DataRow>().ForEach(r => r["Linetext"] ="Sample Text" );

A: You can try out the following linq,
DataTable recTable = new DataTable();

// do stuff to populate table

recTable.Select(string.Format("[code] = '{0}'", someName)).ToList<DataRow>().ForEach(r => r["Color"] = colorValue);

You can substitute  your columns and values here...

A: If you want to default a column value with abc use Expression, then you could use the below code.
dt.Columns.Add("ColumnName").Expression = "'abc'";

In case if you need to pass the value dynamically using a variable, you could use the below code.
string str = "abc";
dt.Columns.Add("ColumnName").Expression = "'" + str + "'";


So you can't find much from the Shepard's Conference on U-Tube. Seems there was a bit of conflict during the Q @ A. I saw a brief clip, which was just a minor conflict between Phil Johnson and Al Mohler, but considering I don't think there is ever much of any conflict at these conferences, it stands out as worse than it was....at least I hope that is the case.
So many conservative evangelicals are struggling as to where they stand on this. Matt Chandler has seemingly backed away from a strong social gospel bent, to actually speaking against the social gospel in a sermon only to clarify later in the sermon, that he still has one foot in. At least that is the way it came across. Here is the sermon...He made good points, but the points he made are not social gospel, they're just Christianity 101.
I think some of the recent conflict may come down to a matter of semantics. Matt's sermon seems that way, but not sure if that is Al Mohler and Phil Johnson's situation or not. Pray that this conflict will be resolved with love in Christ and shown as an example of how Godly men should work out any differences.

The Office of Plant Services was established in November 1973, following the restructuring of the former Buildings Management Department. Within the Office of Plant Services, there was created the Horticultural Services Division. James R. Buckler was appointed Chief of the Division in 1973, having already served as horticulturalist in the Landscaping and Grounds Section within the Building Services Division of the Buildings Management Department since July 1972. In 1974 the Division undertook a number of Bicentennial projects including the design of a Victorian Garden for the South Yard, design for planting in the Arts and Industries Conservatory, a State flower and State tree project, and a nursery-greenhouse operation. A National Horticultural Advisory Committee of prominent horticulturalists and botanical garden and arboretum directors was established in January 1974 to assist in long-range programming, planning, and evaluation of future horticultural operations of the Smithsonian.
In February of 1976, the Horticultural Services Division was renamed the Office of Horticulture within the Office of Museum Programs. In or around 1992, the Office of Horticulture became the Horticulture Services Division within the Office of Physical Plant. In or around 2002, the Horticulture Services Division was placed under the Office of Facilities Management which itself came to be known as the Office of Facilities Mangement and Reliability. In 2010, the office was renamed Smithsonian Gardens, in recognition of the function gardens play in the visitor experience. At the time, the gardens of the Smithsonian received 30 million visitors a year, making them some of the most highly visited public gardens in the world. Serving as living classrooms and urban sanctuaries, they provide a memorable, relaxing, and safe destination for visitors, with interpretation that educates the public and supports the museums they surround. All the gardens have sustainable programs to attract native wildlife, from insects to local and migrating birds, to mammals. The American Alliance of Museums accredited Smithsonian Gardens as a museum in 2013, reflecting their role as an integral part of the Smithsonian's research, display, and educational programs.
The Smithsonian Gardens is responsible for a variety of specialized gardens, including the Enid A. Haupt Garden. The Freer Gallery of Art has a courtyard garden in the center of the building, inviting relaxation and contemplation. The Pollinator Garden on the east side of the National Museum of Natural History displays a variety of plants attractive to pollinators, providing food and shelter. The nearby Urban Bird Habitat provides the essentials to attract and sustain bird life. Both contain educational displays about how to do this yourself at home. The Kathrine Dulin Folger Rose Garden between the east door of the Castle and Mall door of the Arts and Industries Building displays roses along with perennials, annuals, herbs and evergreens. The Mary Livingston Ripley Garden, between the Arts and Industries Building and Hirshhorn Museum plaza, displays hundreds of varieties of annual and perennial plants, trees and shrubs. The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden is a landscaped open-air gallery that enhances the many sculptures on display in the sunken garden and the museum's plaza with an array of plants that dull noise and attract birds, insects, and other natural life.
The 180 acres of gardens are just one part of the Smithsonian Gardens work. The Gardens maintains a greenhouse facility and provides plants from the gardens and horticultural exhibits throughout the Smithsonian and houses the Smithsonian Gardens Orchid Collection, with over 8,000 orchids. Integrated Pest Management manages pests and their risks factors for all of the Smithsonian's facilities. Scientifically based, these programs monitor, detect, and manage potential pest problems and risks. The Gardens is also responsible for the Garden Furnishings and Horticultural Artifacts Collection which is composed of approximately 1,300 objects, from garden furnishings including benches and urns to artifacts related to the horticulture trade, gardening, decorative arts, and interior home accessories. Also part of the Gardens is the Archives of American Gardens, which collects, preserves, and provides access to resources that document the history of gardens in the United States.
Heads of the office include: James R. Buckler, Chief, then Director, 1973-1988; Kathryn Meehan, Acting Director, 1990-1992; Nancy J. Bechtol, Chief, then Assistant Director, 1993-2002; Barbara Faust, Associate Director, 2004-2013, Director, 2014-2019; Jeffrey Schneider, Acting Director, 2019-2020; and Joy Columbus, Director, 2020- .

How do you design a participative experience? How do you give a visitor agency? What is the interaction between technology and the visitor, and what is the interaction between visitors? How do you set the rules for a game that's not about winning or losing, but about experience?
The interdisciplinary symposium "The Craft of Experience Design" brought together artists, makers and researchers to discuss different ways of making participative experiences. The fields of theater, performance, media art, game design and larp have different histories in terms of motivation and methodology for creating participative experiences. What do they have in common? What do they do differently? And why?
Speakers: Marloeke van der Vlugt, Carina Westling, Zuraida Buter, Time's Up (represented by Tim Boykett), Johanna Koljonen and Valentijn Byvanck. Moderated by Marinka Copier and Marije Baalman.
See here for complete video documentation and report on the symposium.
The Craft of Experience Design was made possible with the generous support of The Creative Industries Fund NL, Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds, and contributors through Voordekunst and Indiegogo.

Marvelous released two new videos for their upcoming game Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star, showcasing gameplay of the characters Iskandar and Jeanne d'Arc.
Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star is scheduled for release on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in Japan on November 10th, with a North American and European release later this winter.
This Vita fan likes all kinds of games (outside of the horror genre, and even then will still play them so that those around him can enjoy watching him squirm). He's been a PlayStation gamer since the the PS2 era, with his favorite game from it being Jak 2. Nowadays, PS Vita is his go to gaming machine and Persona 4 Golden is his go to game. His love for the Vita's bubble menu design is surely unmatched, and he hopes to bring an open mind and hopefully interesting thoughts to The Vita Lounge. Also, he is a pun enthusiast. Be sure to follow him on Twitter, as he thinks he's pretty good at it.
I can't wait for this game. I was hoping they would have a limited Edition version though.

In this video I'm gonna show you how to choose the right product for affiliate marketing. My key message here is that you shouldn't always just focus on the price of the product and you should rather consider how the product is gonna help your audience. Many people who start with affiliate marketing only think about themselves. They only want to make as much money as possible so they're just looking for a product with the highest commission. But what they don't realize is that the most important factor of their income is their audience. What are their struggles? What are their desires? How can you provide them more value? Those questions are the best way to choose the right product to promote.
