Juliana Hatfield (born 27 July 1967) is an American musician and singer-songwriter from the Boston area, formerly of the indie rock band Blake Babies.
A lot of so-called Christian souls are not fine. People need to look inside themselves and look at the lives they're leading and fix themselves before they try to fix other people.
:;I am only human, I am weak. I want his power inside of me. And I'm not talking about a piece of meat. I'm saying something really deep.
Okay I gotta go Maybe I don't want to know There's too much truth in this room.
Impossible to love Is all that I know how to be But in my heart I keep repeating You didn't mean to hate me I still love my enemy.
Hole in the sky I'm coming I'm coming with you.

Why did the Globe shut down?
The theatre was located in Southwark, across the River Thames from the City of London.
Shakespeare's company built the Globe only because it could not use the special roofed facility, Blackfriars Theatre, that James Burbage (the father of their leading actor, Richard Burbage) had built in 1596 for it inside the city..
The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, on land owned by Thomas Brend and inherited by his son, Nicholas Brend and grandson Sir Matthew Brend, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613.
By May 1599, the new theatre was ready to be opened. Burbage named it the Globe after the figure of Hercules carrying the globe on his back – for in like manner the actors carried the Globe's framework on their backs across the Thames.
Two of the six Globe shareholders, Richard Burbage and his brother Cuthbert Burbage, owned double shares of the whole, or 25% each; the other four men, Shakespeare, John Heminges, Augustine Phillips, and Thomas Pope, owned a single share, or 12.5%.
During Shakespeare's time, in England, women were not allowed on the stage. This was primarily due to issues of morality. The two exceptions I noted above allowed women, but they were expected to have familial connections to the actors.
The Globe said both events, which will be socially distanced, would form part of its preparations for a full-scale reopening in spring 2021. …
Elizabethan theaters were frequently shuttered in London during outbreaks of the bubonic plague, which claimed nearly a third of the city's population. The official rule was that once the death rate exceeded thirty per week, performances would be canceled.
They were too poor to pay to be able to sit on one of the three levels of the theatre. If they paid one penny, they could stand in "the pit", also called "the yard", just below the stage, to watch the play. Standing in the pit was uncomfortable, and people were usually packed in tightly.
LondonA world-renowned theatre, education centre, and cultural landmark, located on the bank of the River Thames in London, UK.
The Globe was built as a large, round, open-air theatre. There was a roof around the circumference which covered the seating area, leaving the theatre looking like a doughnut from above.
The Globe is known because of William Shakespeare's (1564–1616) involvement in it. … Plays at the Globe, then outside of London proper, drew good crowds, and the Lord Chamberlain's Men also gave numerous command performances at court for King James.
Admission to the indoor theatres started at 6 pence. One penny was only the price of a loaf of bread. Compare that to today's prices. The low cost was one reason the theatre was so popular.
The original Globe Theatre famously burned down in 1613, when fiery debris from a theatrical cannon shot landed on the arena's roof during a performance of Shakespeare's Henry VIII. Within an hour, the Globe had been reduced to ash.

(1) New issues not to be raised by Appeals.
(2) Appeals will not raise new issues. Appeals also will not reopen an issue on which the taxpayer and the Service are in agreement.
The prohibition on raising new issues also applies in Appeals consideration of docketed cases. (IRM 8.4.1.15.3).
Guidance is given when the taxpayer raises new issues. Id.
Guidance is given when an issue not before Appeals is identified; although the Appeals Officer cannot raise it on appeal, if it is a systemic issue, a process for the issue to be reported is provided. "A systemic issue is an issue that requires a change or modification to an established procedure, process or operation (e.g., training issues, computer program, campus procedure for processing claims). These are issues that potentially impact more than one taxpayer." IRM 8.6.1.6(1).
"Reopening a previously agreed issue or raising a new issue has the same implications, and is, for all practical purposes, one and the same. Therefore, for purposes of this section, treat reopening an agreed issue the same as raising a new issue."
"A new issue is a matter not raised during Compliance's consideration. (3) A new theory or alternative argument is not a new issue."
"(1) Appeals will not raise new issues and will focus dispute resolution efforts on resolving the points of disagreement identified by the parties. The Appeals process is not a continuation or an extension of the examination process." IRM 8.6.1.6.2(1). "In resolving disputes, Appeals may consider new theories and/or alternative legal arguments that support the parties' positions when evaluating the hazards of litigation in a case. However, the Appeals hearing officer will not develop evidence that is not in the case file to support the new theory or argument."
"In docketed cases, the Appeals hearing officer will consider a new issue affirmatively raised by the government in pleadings and may consider any new evidence developed by Compliance or Counsel to support the government's position on the new issue. The Appeals hearing officer's consideration of a new issue in a docketed case will take into account that the government has the burden of proof."
2. An issue, on which the taxpayer and the Service are in agreement, should neither be reopened by Appeals nor should a new issue be raised, unless the ground for such action is a substantial one and the potential effect upon the tax liability is material. The existence of unreported income, deductions, credits, gains, losses, etc. stemming from a tax shelter which is a listed transaction constitutes such a substantial ground with a material effect upon the tax liability.
Appeals raising of new issues was extremely rare under this old rule. I have been practicing for over 35 years and have never had a new issue raised on Appeal. But it was a possibility and a risk.
At least in some cases, the old policy gave incentives to avoid an appeal at the conclusion of which is probably the most efficient timing from an administrative perspective. Some taxpayers would get to appeals after filing the petition in the Tax Court, with the thought that the press of the expected docket call would limit the time Appeals would be substantively involved and likely to spot new issues. Other taxpayers pursued their refund remedies with careful attention to timing so that, if new issues were raised, the statute of limitations would foreclose any adjustment other than by offset.
This is a welcome clarification of Appeals' role.
Of course, the fact that Appeals will not raise new issues does not mean that, should litigation ensue in the Tax Court or a refund forum, the Government will not be permitted to raise new issues. Then, the ability of the Government to raise and pursue new issues will be governed by the respective court's control of its docket.
Every tax controversy practitioner and student is aware of the time-mailing, timely-filing rule in Section 7502, here. The general concept is easily stated -- a document timely mailed to the IRS or a petition to the Tax Court will be deemed timely filed even if it arrives after the due date. The rule is subject to some nuance and risks. I won't get into the nuances and risks now.
But, I do want to remind readers that there is no such timely mailing-timely filing rule for other filings. Perhaps the other most common filing that tax practitioners will deal with is the filing of the suit for refund, necessarily in a court other than the Tax Court. There is a statute of limitations for a suit for refund -- 2 years from the date the refund claim is denied. There is no timely-filing, timely-mailing rule for such suits.
I guess I could leave it at that, but I do call readers' attention to a recent case, Langan v. United States, 2013 U.S. Claims LEXIS 740 (Fed. Cl. June 28, 2013), here. In this case, the claim disallowance was mailed on 12/16/09. The taxpayer's lawyer delivered the envelope containing the Court of Federal Claims complaint to the USPS in Massachusetts late on 12/15/11, just one day before the statute closed. The Court of Federal Claims received the envelope and stamped the complaint on 12/19/11. Too late.
One of the major IRS initiatives for a number of years is to enter Advance Pricing Agreements ("APAs) with taxpayers to determine, in advance, transfer pricing methodologies. APAs require taxpayer representations as to underlying facts and conditions and taxpayer economic studies justifying the methodology requested. The IRS reviews the presentations, performs such testing and economic studies as it deems appropriate, and then attempts to reach an agreement with the taxpayer. Those agreements are contracts, but do incorporate the terms of the relevant Revenue Procedure (currently Rev. Proc. 2006-9, 2006 IRB 1). Among the provisions of the Rev. Proc. is the IRS authority to terminate the APA is the terms and conditions are not met.
Taxpayer argument: The APA is a contract and, if the IRS terminates for failure to meet the terms and conditions, the IRS bears the burden of establishing that the taxpayer failed to meet the terms and conditions.
IRS argument: The taxpayer must show abuse of discretion for the IRS decision to terminate the APA.
Holding: For the IRS. Taxpayer must establish abuse of discretion.

Peruvian Avocados Imports
From FAVIR:
Import Requirements
Import Permit Required : An Import Permit is required. To obtain a permit, go to e-Permits.
Subject to Inspection : This commodity is subject to inspection at the port of entry and all general requirements of 7 CFR 319.56-3.
Commercial Consignments Only :
Other :
PROHIBIT ENTRY into Hawaii and the US territories.
Phytosanitary Certificate, Pest-Free Area :
Commercial consignments of avocado must be accompanied by an import permit and a Phytosanitary Certificate (PC) issued by the NPPO of Peru with an Additional Declaration (AD) stating that the avocados in the consignment were grown, packed, and inspected and found to be free of pests in accordance with the requirements of 7 CFR 319.56-50.
Article from The Packer:
USDA eases avocado regulations
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has eased restrictions on the movement of imported and domestic avocados, deeming the fruit a poor host for Mediterranean fruit fly.
In a ruling published in the July 22 Federal Register, the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said avocados may move more freely into the U.S. and within the U.S. because they do not pose a significant risk of Medfly prior to harvest.
In the past, fruit shipped from an area of the U.S. quarantined for Medfly to another part of the country had to be accompanied by a certificated stating that trees had been sprayed before and during harvest for Medfly, or that fruit had been irradiated after harvest.
For avocados imported to the U.S. from regions quarantined for Medfly, growers were required to set traps for the pests.
In the July 22 ruling, however, APHIS officials announced that Medflies are no longer a threat to avocados prior to harvest. As a result, as long as fruit is accompanied by a certificate saying that it has been safeguarded after harvest from exposure to Medfly, it may be imported or shipped from U.S. state to state without further restrictions.
"We have determined that hass avocados are a host for Mexican fruit fly and sapote fruit fly only after harvest," according to the ruling.
Among exporting countries, Mexico and Peru are specified in the ruling. Chile is not mentioned specifically, according to the ruling, because APHIS recognizes Chile as free of Medfly.
While exporters to the U.S. stand to benefit from the ruling, USDA does not think it will necessarily come at the expense of U.S. growers.
"This rule will allow foreign producers to realize cost savings, and may increase imports. However, we have determined that the domestic avocado industry will not be significantly adversely affected by this rule."
More imports could mean lower prices, but that could be counterbalanced by greater availability and stronger consumer demand, according to the ruling.

Afghan 'Girl Power'
Aug 25, 2015Afghanistan, Features, Issue 1 - August 2015, Issue 1 Features
By Priyali Sur
"My first love is coding. People think that girls can't code, but I forget about the war and conflict in Afghanistan when I'm coding," said Nooria Ismaelzade, a 25-year-old student from Herat, one of Afghanistan's largest cities located near the border with Iran. Wrapped in a black chador (a headscarf and robe), her eyes bright with enthusiasm, Nooria dispelled all of my preconceptions about Afghan women as I spoke to her from Washington, D.C. via video link. "The minute I leave my laptop, I'm reminded of how unsafe it is for girls here," she said, smiling confidently into the camera.
Having suffered through 30 years of war and internal conflict and a Taliban regime that stripped women of their basic rights including formal education, Afghanistan's female literacy rate stood at only 13 percent, according to a 2011 UN survey. As the country struggles to stabilize, Nooria—whose name means "light" or "radiant"—is like a ray of hope for many girls in her hometown. Despite facing strong social pressures to get married, she is studying computer science at the university in Herat. She also mentors other female students in her department. "I tell them that girls can be good software developers, and that they are not inferior to boys. It is important that girls never lose their confidence."
When I asked her about her marriage plans, she laughed and said, "I want to marry Bill Gates. Tell him if you happen to see him." We laughed together—a hearty and hopeful laugh—as she added softly, "I hope for a better future…for me and my country."

UNEVEN PROGRESS IN IMPROVING GENDER RIGHTS
Afghanistan's president Ashraf Ghani and his wife Rula—who in 2015 was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world—have been championing women's rights. Four women were appointed to cabinet positions in April 2015, and the government adopted a National Action Plan on women, peace, and security in June. In an April interview, the first lady insisted that despite the government's possible rapprochement with the Taliban, the rights that Afghan women have acquired during the past few years will not be reversed.
But despite these assurances, local women's rights groups are worried. "Regarding the peace and political processes, we are concerned and unhappy that we have not been consulted. The government has not been very transparent with women about the peace process," said Hasina Safi, Executive Director of the Afghan Women's Network, which works for gender equality. Despite promises by President Ghani, the first meeting between Afghan government officials and the Taliban in Pakistan, which took place in July 2015, lacked female representation. In addition, a 2015 Amnesty International report highlights how the Taliban, warlords, and even some government officials target and attack women's rights defenders, while the state fails to provide them with adequate protection or bring the perpetrators to justice.
In the past few years, Afghanistan has taken steps to build a legal framework supporting women's rights. The 2009 Law on the Elimination of Violence against Women, which was decreed into law by executive order while parliament was in recess, criminalizes 22 acts of violence and harmful traditional practices against women, including rape and forced marriage. However, conservative members of parliament have successfully blocked its approval by the national legislature, a factor cited by its supporters for its poor implementation. According to an April 2015 UN report, of 80 cases related to female victims of violence that were seen through to completion under the 2009 law, only 4 resulted in criminal convictions; most of the cases were settled out of court through mediation, a process often plagued by arbitrary documentation practices and the weak enforcement of decisions.
THE NEED FOR ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
While protecting women from gender-based violence is crucial, there is an equally important need to promote the social and economic empowerment of women. According to data from the United Nations, only about 16 percent of adult Afghan women participated in the labor force in 2012, compared to nearly 80 percent of adult men.
"After studying English for five years, I wanted to work and be helpful to my country. I even got selected for a job, but my husband didn't want me to work," said 26-year-old Marzia Habibi, who was educated in Iran. "In Iran, women are free to go to school and to work. I received my diploma in mathematics and studied English there. But as soon as I came back to Afghanistan, I got married, and I now have an 11-month-old baby." Although Marzia misses the freedom she enjoyed in Iran, she does not want to return there. She says that she loves Afghanistan and hopes that someday it will uphold and protect her rights.
AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE
As Western governments slowly reduce their involvement in Afghanistan, the country may be fading from the global spotlight. But the struggle for gender equality continues to require the active support of both the Afghan government and the international community.
Nooria and Marzia echo the voices of many young Afghan women. When asked why she chooses to live in Herat and not find work abroad, Nooria replied, "My country needs me. I have a lot to do. I have to stay and educate other girls."
These Afghan girls have made their choice. They have chosen Afghanistan. But will Afghanistan now choose them?

The Laredo Times has for us today two stories of interest -- one that lifts our spirits, and one that reminds us how local wealth affects our lives. Let's start with the bit of disappointing news.
Mikaela Rodriguez writes about the Killams closing off the old detention center road in northeast Laredo. This is of note because the road will no longer be available for people that use it for bicycling and jogging. The Killams defend their decision with concerns of more nefarious activities taking place in the area. But county officials think this action is related to a bid for the actual dentention center the Killams lost to the Khaledis. Whatever the reason for the move, the people ended up losing in this case.
The detention center road is not the only place in Laredo for people to exercise, but it doesn't help that it's one less option out there. A friend recently inquired about Shirley Field access for the public. If memory serves, the track around Shirley was open in the afternoons for people to go jog or walk. That is no longer the case. Naturally my friend was disappointed.
Friday evening, my son and I went to play a short round of tennis at the Market Street Courts. It's not really tennis; it's more a game of whacking a green ball around hoping we can shoot it towards one another. Anyway, I noticed that the city placed fee requirement signs around the facility. The fees are not outrageous, but time will tell if tennis enthusiasts find other outlets for recreation.
The city may have more places for physical activity, but it seems that access to these areas is dwindling.
On a much lighter side, a Martin High School alum has found success playing basketball at the college level.
Clara Sandoval contributes to the LMT the story of CJ Martinez.
SAN ANTONIO — Former Martin basketball player CJ Martinez always had a goal of playing at the college level ever since he could remember and that is what he set out to do when his playing days were over.
After finishing up his high school career for the Tigers last year, Martinez headed out to Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio with one mission on his mind — make the Saints team.
"I knew that they came from a winning program," Martinez said.
"This program was a good fit for me.
I don't like losing and they are not accustomed to losing.
It's good to read about a Tiger doing good when good news is scarce from the old alma mater. Hat tip to Mr. Martinez. He makes Laredo proud.

Tokyo Olympic CEO: Games Next Year May Not Be 'Conventional'
Postponing the 2020 Tokyo Olympics until next year is costing several billion dollars, and now officials are looking for major ways to cut costs
By Stephen Wade	• Published May 15, 2020 • Updated on May 15, 2020 at 9:40 am
Almost two months after the Tokyo Olympics were postponed, organizing committee CEO Toshiro Muto said Friday he still could not give an estimate of how much the one-year delay will cost.
Figures in the Japanese media have ranged between $2 billion and $6 billion, with most mounting expenses likely to be covered by government entities.
Although he was vague about the costs and who will pay, Muto was very clear about one thing in the online news conference.

"The actual games we will have one year from now may not be the same conventional Olympic and Paralympic Games that we have come to know," he said, speaking in Japanese and translated through in interpreter.
Muto floated ideas about cuts everywhere, though the only specific target he mentioned was the torch relay.
"We are looking into every possible area," he said. "It's time for all of us to review what are the essential things for the games. What are the must-have items? ... I think we might come up with a new Olympic and Paralympic Games, something that is unique to Tokyo."
Tokyo's future still has more questions than answers.
How will 11,000 Olympic athletes and 4,400 Paralympians be housed in the Athletes Village? Will the tight quarters be safe? How will they travel to Tokyo? How will they train and qualify? And what about thousands more staff and games officials?
Will there be fans, or will it be a television-only show? What about millions of tickets already sold? Will there be refunds? Will a vaccine be available? Will young, healthy athletes be a priority for a vaccine?
Muto spoke a day after the Switzerland-based International Olympic Committee acknowledged it would have added costs of $800 million because of the postponement. The IOC said $150 million would be made available for loans to national Olympic committees and sports federations, some of which have few sources of revenue outside the games.
But the IOC gave no details of where the other $650 million would go.
Muto said he didn't know, either. Or at least he wasn't saying.
"As to the breakdown of how this money will be used, the IOC has said it's too early to tell," Muto said. "So we at the organizing committee have no idea of all the details about how this money will be spent."
Soaring Olympic costs are sure to be a touchy subject as Japan, like most countries, battles a deep recession brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
Japanese organizers and government bodies are obligated by a Host City Contract signed in 2013 to pick up most of the Olympic costs. When they were awarded the games seven years ago, Tokyo officials said the Olympics would cost just over $7 billion.
Tokyo now says it is spending $12.6 billion to organize the games, but a government audit report last year said it was twice that much.
All but $5.6 billion is public money.
Muto said organizers are still trying to guarantee that 43 venues will be available next year, hoping to keep the same event schedule when the Olympics open on July 23, 2021.
"It's going to take a bit of time," Muto said, "and that cannot be helped."

It's now clear what it takes for a former NBA Commissioner to emerge from retirment. David Stern, who was at the helm of the league for three decades starting in the 1980s, has now thrown his weight — and capital — behind blockchain-fueled streaming sports startup SportsCastr, which is behind a new cryptocurrency dubbed FanChain.
Stern's views on the cryptocurrency market have evolved from believing it to be comparable to "tulipmania" to respect for decentralized technology, and now he's backing an initial coin offering (ICO) startup with an ERC-20 token.
"I then came to understand that blockchain technology had much to offer with respect to a range of transactions in many different industries, like the sports sector," Stern told Forbes of his gradual embrace of this emerging industry.
Stern's interest in cryptocurrencies isn't shocking considering his tech savviness. He is a proponent for legal sports betting and has touted the capabilities such as mobile-fueled sports gambling ushered into the industry by his peers. He wasn't always on board with sports betting, but as with cryptocurrencies, his position evolved over time.
When Stern left the court in 2014, he was credited for the success of the NBA and its multi-billion dollar annual profits. Under his tenure, not only did the value of the league balloon but so did player salaries and franchise price tags, leading to multi-year television deals and NBA fever among fans across the globe. If Stern is able to influence investors and participants for FanChain in the way he was able to do for the league, the blockchain startup is in for a wild ride.
Stern isn't the sole investor, and the roster of backers extends to some of his peers from the professional sports industry, including NFL player Vernon Davis, Syracuse University Head Coach Jim Boeheim, retired NBA all-star Steve Smith and others.
FanChain is looking to solve the problem of sports media being one-sided, and it's designed to appeal to the sports broadcaster in everyone. It lets users who are watching sporting events not only select which sports commentary they choose to listen to but also participate by providing their own live streaming video sports commentary — including a half-time show, for instance.
These announcers are rewarded with digital tokens, which fuel the FanChain ecosystem that is comprised of a FanWallet, digital goods, subscriptions and more. FanChain says that it puts the power of the play-by-play in the hands of the fans and gives them a chance to share in the value.
FanChain is launching a private token sale shortly followed by a public crowdsale planned for this summer, according to Forbes. Given the regulatory climate, US investors are banned from participating.

'Drawing figures, is figured.
Drawing pulls, pushes, tugs, drags.
Drawing is friction, gravity.
Earth draws, is drawn, draws maps.
Sun draws, draws shadows, photos.
Moon draws tides'
(From Roberto Chabet's exhibition Lines on Drawing, 1999)
'A line, an area of tone, is not really important because it records what you have seen, but because of what it will lead you on to see' (John Berger, 'Life Drawing', in Jim Savage (ed.), Berger on Drawing, Cork: Occasional Press, 2007)
'On an ancient lake bed located on the western side of Death Valley National Park, boulders that weigh up to 700 pounds sail across the almost perfectly flat terrain, leaving grooved trails in their wake ... Each of these furrows chronicles a rock's journey, ranging from a mere few inches to nearly 3,000 feet. Some tracks manifest in straight bold lines, while others coil back on themselves in sinuous arcs.
Despite a century of scientific investigation, this curious phenomenon has confounded the geological community and park visitors alike. To this day, no one has ever seen the rocks move. But in lieu of eyewitnesses, countless theories have been put forward over the years in an effort to explain the reasons behind the migrations.
One early suggestion was that the rocks were driven by gravity, sliding down a gradual slope over a long period of time. But this theory was discounted when it was revealed that the northern end of the playa is actually several centimeters higher than the southern end and that most of the rocks were in fact traveling uphill.
Though no one has yet been able to conclusively identify just what makes the rocks move, one woman is coming closer to solving the mystery. For the past ten years, Dr. Paula Messina, Professor of Geology at San Jose State University in California, has made it her quest to understand what has bewildered geologists for decades. "It's interesting that no one has seen them move, so I am kind of sleuthing to see what's really going on here," says Dr. Messina.
Many scientists had dedicated much of their careers to the racing rocks, but the remoteness of the area kept their research limited in scope. No one had been able to map the complete set of trails before the advent of a quick, portable method known as global positioning. Dr. Messina was the first to have the luxury of this high technology at her fingertips.
In 1996, armed with a hand-held GPS unit, she digitally mapped the location of each of the 162 rocks scattered over the playa. "I'm very fortunate that this technology was available at about the same time the Racetrack captured my interest," she says. "It took only ten days to map the entire network — a total of about 60 miles." Since then, she has continued to chart the movements of each rock within a centimeter of accuracy. Walking the length of a trail, she collects the longitude and latitude points of each, which snap into a line. She then takes her data back to the lab where she is able to analyze changes in the rocks' positions since her last visit.
She has found that two components are essential to their movement: wind and water. The fierce winter storms that sweep down from the surrounding mountains carry plenty of both.
The playa surface is made up of very fine clay sediments that become extremely slick when wet. "When you have pliable, wet, frictionless sediments and intense winds blowing through," offers Dr. Messina, "I think you have the elements to make the rocks move."
At an elevation of 3,700 feet, strong winds can rake the playa at 70 miles per hour. But Dr. Messina is quick to point out that sometimes even smaller gusts can set the rocks in motion. The explanation for this lies in her theory, which links wind and water with yet another element: bacteria.
After periods of rain, bacteria lying dormant on the playa begin to "come to." As they grow, long, hair-like filaments develop and cause a slippery film to form on the surface. "Very rough surfaces would require great forces to move the lightest-weight rocks," she says. "But if the surface is exceptionally smooth, as would be expected from a bio-geologic film, even the heaviest rocks could be propelled by a small shove of the wind. I think of the Racetrack as being coated by Teflon, under those special conditions."
In science, hypotheses are often based on logic. But over the years, Dr. Messina has discovered that on the Racetrack, logic itself must often be tossed to the wind. "Some of the rocks have done some very unusual things," she says. In her initial analysis she hypothesized that given their weight, larger rocks would travel shorter distances and smaller, lighter rocks would sail on further, producing longer trails. It also seemed reasonable that the heavier, angular rocks would leave straighter trails and rounder rocks would move more erratically. What she discovered surprised her. "I was crunching numbers and found that there was absolutely no correlation between the size and shape of the rocks and their trails. There was no smoking gun, so this was one of the big mysteries to me."
What appears as a very flat, uniform terrain is in fact a mosaic of micro-climates. In the southeastern part of the playa, wind is channeled through a low pass in the mountains, forming a natural wind tunnel. This is where the longest, straightest trails are concentrated. In the central part of the playa, two natural wind tunnels converge from different directions, creating turbulence. It's in this area that the rock trails are the most convoluted. "What I think is happening," proposes Dr. Messina, "is the surrounding topography is actually what is guiding the rocks and telling them where to go."
Some people have suggested attaching radio transmitters to the rocks or erecting cameras to catch them "in the act" in order to put an end to the speculation. But as Death Valley National Park is 95 percent designated wilderness, all research in the park must be non-invasive. It is forbidden to erect any permanent structures or instrumentation. Further, no one is permitted on the playa when it is wet because each footprint would leave an indelible scar.
As for Dr. Messina, she is content in the sleuthing. "People frequently ask me if I want to see the rocks in action and I can honestly answer that I do not," she says. "Science is all about the quest for knowledge, and not necessarily knowing all the answers. Part of the lure of this place is its mystery. It's fine with me if it remains that way."
From 'Life in Death Valley: The Mystery of the Racing Rocks', Nature
For a Wikipedia entry on the 'sailing stones' of Death Valley, see here. 'In a study published in 2011 it is postulated that small rafts of ice form around the rocks and when the local water level rises, the rocks are buoyantly floated off the soft bed, thus reducing the reaction and friction forces at the bed. Since this effect depends on reducing friction, and not on increasing the wind drag, these ice cakes need not have a particularly large surface area if the ice is adequately thick, as the minimal friction allows the rocks to be moved by arbitrarily light winds'.

Submitted for your approval, one candidate for the highly elusive office known as President of the United States. A man who has everything the job seems to require --- a nimble mind, a grasp of the affairs of humankind, and a record of political contribution in one of the great states of the Union. But this man also has a flaw, a dark forbidding flaw that casts doubt over all he's hoped and striven for. This man has all the charisma of a room temperature bowl of Cream of Wheat!
One man, one tragic flaw, about to enter The Twilight Zone.
"What a tragedy, doctor! All that ability, political service in the state of Massachusetts, burning desire for the job and yet ... all the personality of a casaba melon!"
"Even less, I'm afraid, nurse. Our cardiac surgeons have been asking him to give campaign speeches to their pre-operative patients in lieu of an anesthetic. Seems to be working fine, with way fewer side effects than anything else!"
"Has our treatment worked, doctor?"
"It's too soon to tell. Charisma transplants have been tried before but none have succeeded. The last one I attempted was on a stultifyingly boring preppy woman named Martha something or other. It failed dismally, but I heard she was able to find work on daytime television."
"Nurse! Nurse, I need you!"
"Nurse, I'm feeling a little stronger now. I'd like to work on my inauguration speech. I must know if the charisma transplant has worked!"
"Please, sir, don't try it yet!"
"Nurse, you just don't know what my life has been like! My earliest memory is of people yawning whenever I came near. In school whenever I was speaking in class, teachers used to put a mirror up to my nose to see if I was breathing!"
"Even now when I'm making love to my wife, she doodles on my back! It's been a nightmare, do you understand, nurse?! A nightmare!! Nurse?! Nurse?!!
"Now, sir, it's come time to remove the bandages and find out whether the procedure has succeeded. When the last bandage is removed, please begin reciting your proposed inauguration speech."
Round and round the bandages are unraveled. The first rays of light begin to appear to the patient's eyes through the continued unraveling of the layers of bandage, breaking through at last into his private world of darkness.
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country!"
"NO CHANGE! NO CHANGE! He's still boring as hell!"
"Doctor, he'll never be President now!"
Submitted for your approval, one political candidate from Massachusetts named John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Now the question may be asked "where is this time and place where somebody like Mitt Romney might be considered a cool guy?" The answer is "it doesn't really matter."
For charisma truly is in the eye of the be-voter.
And you didn't think I was capable of a true Twilight Zone ending!
53% of the country are glad it didn't work!
But what about the post, Winonah? Funny, huh?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ . . . . Uh, oh, did you post something Perry?
Just kidding. I found it very entertaining.
Glad you submitted that comment for my approval!

Get inspired with illustrators timelapses!
Have you got creative block? Do you need inspiration but are bored of your usual sources? When Pinterest and Behance don't give me the inspiration I need, Vimeo and YouTube does. There are a few designers out there that share snippets of their process in video format. These design timelapses are incredible to watch. Sometimes you'll see the whole process (if you're lucky). But even if it's just a short clip I personally feel like I'm ready to try something new.
Today's showcase of design timelapses are very detailed. Even with the speed being quick you'll be surprised just how much you absorb. You'll see a lot of layers in Photoshop and a lot of pen tool action in Illustrator, as these designers create illustrations full of shading and depth.
Though design timelapses inspire me they do make me envious of other people's talent and craft. If I could draw like some of these people who knows where I'd be and the type of clients I'd have the honour of working with. Despite this, you have to look at other people's talents as a blessing. These people have worked on their craft and they too are probably critical of their own work – it's a designers prerogative to hate everything we design.
So when you next need some inspiration check out the timelapses below. Maybe you'll learn a thing or two, or maybe it'll give you the push you need to get out of your creative rut.

Hot Air: Democracy? Wow.
Words Hurt
Call me goofy but I would never eat something on a menu called a Garbage Salad.
I mean, it's just the idea of the thing. Hey, chef, sweep up all your droppings and throw it all on a plate for me, wouldja?
Why not offer me a shit sandwich?
It'd be like running an ad for a lite beer, extolling its rich amber color — Just like fresh urine!
So, yeah, okay, I'm goofy. But you're eating Garbage Salad and I'm not.
Democracy. Now.
Lots o'people are saying the emergence of America's Shart, Donald Trump, is evidence that our democracy is broken. Hell, even Russian former chess champion Garry Kasparov has chimed in, saying Trump and his gang are leading "an assault on democracy." Kasparov, BTW, quit the chess racket last decade and became a leader of the anti-Putin movement which means, I suppose, he's lucky to still be alive.
And, BTW again, Trump loves him some Putin, as does Trump's stage door Jeannie, Sarah Palin. So maybe, Kasparov has a point.
All Democratically Elected
Anyway, loyal Pencillistas know I'm not one to blame our ills on nebulous, all-powerful cabals controlling our thoughts and actions through media, drugs, and the eating of white bread. In fact, I pretty much blame none of our ills on those things, mainly because I blame us for what ails us.
If the media's spoonfeeding us senseless garbage it's only because we eat it up. And if "Big Pharma" is trying to hook us on every new anti-depressant that comes out of its evil labs, well, we're the ones running to our doctors every half hour telling them how depressed we are and what can you do about it, Doc?
I won't blame Trump for killing democracy, either. In fact, Trump's rise is a testament to the strength of our democracy. We have two long-standing, major political parties supported by hundreds of millions of dollars of lobbyists' and corporations' dough and one of them could do nothing to stop the juggernaut that has been the Trump ascendancy this primary season. We'll see if the Democrats can halt his steamroller in November. We can only hope.
No, the people have spoken, even if their language is a pidgin and their thought processes the equivalent of those of subfamily Arvicolinae. That's democracy, no? The speaking of the people?
By golly, I think I've discovered the fatal flaw in democracy. People.
I Like It Here
Don't get me wrong — I dig John Hamilton as mayor of this sprawling megalopolis. But I also dig his opponent in last year's mayoral beauty contest, Darryl Neher. The young(ish) IU Kelley School of Biz senior lecturer and recent B-ton city council guy laid a big hug on me yesterday at Hopscotch Coffee.
He told me he was meeting with a couple of big shot sachems in our town's LGBT community and, indeed, the three of them put their heads together for what seemed an eternity. Neher's lending his support, natch, to that gang and is hoping to help them solidify their place in the city's power structure.
Cool, ain't it? There are tons of things that drive me batty about Bloomington — don't get me started on the drivers here — but overall, this is a great place to live. Especially when big local dudes and dames like Neher are so dedicated to the issues and philosophies I endorse.
Sigh, our little island of goodness in the midst of the Indiana malum mare.

Water has a high surface tension. This is why some bugs like water striders (of the Gerridae family) can walk on water – because they weigh less than the surface tension of the water. Due to the shape of a water molecule, molecules stick and clump together to form this high tension (the two lighter hydrogen atoms in the image on the right
13 Aug 2010. We've all heard the expression: "He's such a bad cook, he can't even boil water. Basically, even though liquid water molecules tend to like each other and stick together, give them enough. This conversion of liquid water to water vapor ( steam) is what you see when you're looking at a pot of boiling water.
If that's where you're coming from, and it does sound like what you're thinking. You fill up a pot with water, get it to.

Now style. it is going to style extra like the faucet water you're used to. it is with the aid of fact the boiling bumped off numerous the dissolved gases interior the water. The shaking positioned numerous them back. it is what the fish use interior the water.
The slightly negative particles of a compound will be attracted to water's hydrogen atoms, while the slightly positive particles will be attracted to water's oxygen molecule; this causes the compound to dissociate. Besides the explanations above, we can look to some attributes of a water molecule to provide some more reasons of water's uniqueness:

While below 4 °C the breakage of hydrogen bonds due to heating allows water molecules to pack closer despite the increase in the thermal motion (which tends to expand a liquid), above 4 °C water expands as the temperature increases. Water near the boiling point is about 4% less dense than water.
10 Nov 2013. Few will argue the statement that water is the most important substance to exist  on planet Earth, as we know it today and to. while hydrogen sulfide melts at -82 °C. Boiling water turns into gas at 100°C, while hydrogen sulfide boils at -60°C. When water is exposed to another medium, such as air, there is a layer of water molecules that are in the area of contact between water and air.
Steam is the wet mist that forms above boiling water as the hot, invisible water vapor mixes with cooler surrounding air. Photograph by. Although the level of a lake, pool, or glass of water will decrease due to evaporation, the escaped water molecules dont disappear. If the air is already clogged, or saturated, with other substances, there wont be enough room in the air for liquid to evaporate quickly.
When ice is frozen, the water molecules extend themselves as far as they possibly can but are held firmly together by. bonds that hold water molecules together in water's liquid and solid form give the substance high boiling and freezing.
"I ask them how much water they drank. The amount can be so little, that I tell them, 'Look. but it does require a bit.
When heat is absorbed, hydrogen bonds are broken and water molecules can move freely. When. Just like with its melting point, water molecules also have a higher boiling point than one would expect if the boiling points of other Group 6A.
When the heat is raised (for instance, as water is boiled), the higher kinetic energy of the water molecules causes the hydrogen bonds to. Water's lower density in its solid form is due to the way hydrogen bonds are oriented as it freezes.
Of course, many new motorcycles now come with braided lines already fitted, but if you're changing your bike's hoses –.

So, what can organizations do to prevent themselves.
You don't have to break any covalent bonds in order to melt or boil a molecular substance. When the hydrogen bonds between water molecules are broken, they can be replaced by equivalent bonds between water and ammonia molecules. Some of the ammonia also. The structure is described as face centred cubic – it is a cube of iodine molecules with another molecule at the centre of each face.
OK, so each ammonia molecule forms 2 hydrogen bonds and so does each hydrogen fluoride molecule. Their masses are 17 amu and 20 amu respectively (difference is very small). Boiling point of fluoride is 19.5 degrees Celsius, while boiling point of ammonia is minus 33 degrees Celsius, which makes 53.5 degrees difference.

"Singing is just inside of me. I wake up in the morning singing."
Words from Ayesha Mosley, a native of Oxon Hill, Maryland, who has been in Montgomery for about 20 years.
Having Mosley around is a pretty special deal for Montgomery. You may not know her name yet, may not have heard her perform yet, but for more than a decade she's been influencing the city's future music scene in ways we can't even imagine.
I had a chance to see Mosley perform recently at B.B. King's Blues Club in Montgomery. Singing there's a fairly new development. She has a natural voice, which she pairs up with keyboard. She also has Montgomery's own laid-back djembe drum master Duron Marquis Hale at her side.
"When I met Ron it was like we just clicked," Mosley said. "From the first show to now, it's just got better and better."
Right now, B.B. King's is her only regular, secular gig. I expect that to change before too long.
She's got a couple of other unique audiences that already know how talented she is.

First off, she's a church musician. Mosley and her teenage son perform regularly at Montgomery's Revelation Baptist Church. She loves playing there, but it's understandably different than a club setting.
"I was used to church music which comes easy to me because I was rooted and grounded in the church. Now I am learning the secular music on top of church music, which comes with its challenges. But I like a challenge, so singing and playing the keyboard comes natural," Mosley said.
In her other role, Mosley is fostering a love of music from within Montgomery Public Schools. She's a music specialist at Fitzpatrick Elementary School, where she's been teaching for 12 years.
"I love doing it," Mosley said.
Right now, she's in the middle of what she calls a "new start" in her music career — three monthly gigs at B.B. King's.
"It's been a great journey," Mosley said.
Here's how that journey began.
Mosley said she left Maryland and came to Alabama to go to school. "I was sheltered and wanted to learn how to be on my own and experience life. College was a big deal for me, so having family here in Alabama helped me narrow down my college decision because I also had aunts and uncles who graduated from Alabama State University," she said.
At ASU she earned both a bachelor's and master's degree in music education, and then decided to stay in Montgomery.
"I have the support of my parents who come down often to visit," Mosley said. "My parents gave me the opportunity to take piano lessons at a young age...the singing came later. But I was raised in a singing household. It just took me longer to build my confidence up."
For her students at Fitzpatrick, one of the main lessons she teaches is that music is universal. "Anybody can learn it," Mosley said. "I always hear, 'I can't get that, Miss Mosley. I don't understand that.' But then once I teach it to them, they're like, 'Oh, okay!' Then the lightbulb comes on."
Being a student in "Miss Mosley's" class sounds like a really cool place to be. She brings in other educators to put on shows with the music of greats like The Temptations, Ashford & Simpson, and even Kris Kross.
"I put on shows there all the time," Mosley said.
Kids will be kids, but Mosley has a unique way to get her students to settle down.
"When I start singing, they'll be quiet," she said. "They'll be like, 'Miss Mosley is singing. Hold on.'"
A life of music is something she's also passed on to her own children, who play instruments and sing also. They're picking up trumpet, drums and guitar. Before she knows it, she'll have her own band. "It's just in the family," Mosley said.
But for now, they'll have to wait and get a little bit older before they decide to go gigging at the club with mom. It'll give Mosley time to personalize her own musical style the way wants to. Her goal is to offer audiences variety.
"I try to appeal to different audiences, because I never know who is going to be out there in the audience," Mosley said. "I don't want to just sing a particular type of song. I want to sing all types of songs."
And while she sings cover songs, that's not all there is to her music.
"I have a lot of music that I write," Mosley said.
Roughly 20 years worth of original songs are just waiting on her to record them.
"But I haven't started recording anything yet," Mosley said. "I've been having a few people try to get me in the studio. I'm saying, real soon I'll do it. The best is yet to come for me. That's what I believe."

Saudi Arabia's first high-end bus system is bringing the Kingdom closer together
Designing from scratch a bus system to complement the subway which is under constructio.
Motivating Riyadh residents to embrace bus transportation in a country where cars reign supreme.
Providing quality, affordable, practical service to make public transit a popular choice.
Meeting the highest international standards.
routes and 70 feeder routes
employees, including 3,200 drivers
billion over 12 years for this operation and maintenance agreement
Cars reign supreme in Saudi Arabia. Very low gas prices mean family cars are the norm, however roads are often saturated as a result. In fact one of country's top metropolises, Riyadh, ranks as the fourth most polluted city in the world.
A convincing, practical alternative had to be suggested that would also be comfortable, safe, and affordable.
With those goals in mind, RATP Dev designed and is rolling out the country's first bus system along with its partner SAPTCO. Their joint venture is the Public Transport Company (PTC). The level of quality is set very high: ultra-modern buses running with regular frequency, convenient stops, efficient ticketing and passenger information, and top-notch customer service.
The bus system will complement the subway system which is being built at the same time. All of it promises to help a new Riyadh emerge.
"The Arriyadh Development Authority wanted an operator with excellent experience in managing operations locally, and tried-and-true expertise in rolling out world-class transit in metropolises in various countries. RATP Dev/SAPTCO truly meets those specifications. "

Smithers riding is unique, offering a full range of experiences. From high alpine singletrack to trails winding through the northern forest landscape, Smithers hosts a blend of rugged, steep technical terrain combined with new school all-mountain flow. The Smithers Mountain Bike Association manages three trail networks in partnership with the Province:
Typically, the Bluff opens in early May, followed by the Ptarmigan network. The Piper and Backdoor areas typically open by mid-June. The riding season usually ends in early November.
Trail Management
Trail management standards are constantly evolving throughout BC. Over the past three years SMBA has begun to develop a more transparent and inclusive process to determine trail management priorities for each season. We don't have it nailed yet, but with the support and engagement of membership, we can get there.
In 2015, the SMBA submitted its second Trail Management Plan to the Province of BC. Along with the new Management Plan, a new Trail Maintenance, Adjustments and Development Policy was implemented. The Trail Policy is intended to facilitate a membership driven process to provide direct input into trail maintenance and development priorities that SMBA can coordinate with Recreation, Sites and Trails BC.
The current approach is that every fall, the SMBA engages membership through the Trail Sub-Committee to determine the Operating Plan priorities for the following year. The Operating Plan lays out proposed new trail developments and major maintenance priorities so that SMBA can submit the Plan to Recreation, Sites and Trails for approval before the shovels hit the ground. This process did not go as planned in 2019 due to COVID and other unexpected events, but the hope is that we can create a transparent and predictable process that engages the members in trail management directly. You can view the 2020 Operating Plan here.
