We gotta new chart! "This Train" will be commercially available through Green Queen Music next month – however – we are giving you guys on our mailing list an advance listen.
So in the spirit of everything mentioned above; social gatherings, music, performances and all variety of fun, fashion and play as it pertains the the retro-rewind, vintage remix, electro-speakeasy community – We have combined forces with our dear friends Professor Watson and Duke Skellington to help turn these scattershot events and nights into more of a unified scene. We will cross promote and offer discounts to other events and most importantly unify the vintage remix community to keep it fresh, healthy and growing. A good time, every time.
OK so – kind of a no-brainer this month. The Vaude Villainz would have to be our artist of the month! Last we checked their Voodoo Swing EP (out now on Ragtime Records) was topping the charts at #2 on Beatport's Glitch Hop chart.
Be sure and like their Facebook page and please support their release! You can't talk about the Electro-swing/Vintage Remix scene in Los Angeles or San Francisco without talking about these guys. We've shared many a stage, radio show and podcast with these guys and we're incredibly proud of them and honored to call them friends!
It is rumored the duo, consisting of Duke Skellington & Skyler Gilmore, conjure up their music using a series of long forgotten hoodoo practices, combining elements of the vintage swing sound together with pure unadulterated 21st century bass.

It's February and time for the annual pandemic of ADD!
Aha, if you are thinking this story is either wacko or just another rant about Attention Deficit Disorder you are incorrect. This seasonal event starts in late December and can last until April and in some cases even into the summer. This ADD has to do with college admissions and only students truly immune from this syndrome are those that have had the joy of receiving an offer of admission from the college to which they applied via the Early Decision process.
The ADD in this case is Admitted, Deferred or Denied. For the rest of those susceptible to ADD, the symptoms run the gamut: euphoria, confusion, indecision, depression, inertia, anxiety and many others. These terms are often taken as defining a student. Their young life's "body of work" has gone into getting into that special college or university that just calls their name. Even though the word admitted sounds like a terrific outcome, it can present problems albeit different than the noncommittal deferred or the funereal tone of a denial. Let's look at the components of ADD, see what they might mean and how you, the student, can make the best of their impact.
Okay, let's say several colleges have said they see you as a match for their college and they have made you an offer of admission. Wow, now you've got choices! How you approach the choices can make the A in ADD a positive or not. The more intimately you get to know the colleges that accepted you, the easier it will be to make a decision. You will need to revisit the campus and use that opportunity to grill students and faculty with questions that you feel you MUST have answered in order to make an informed decision. Stay overnight, use online forums and social media to get the pulse of the college and see if it really meets your expectations both from a social and academic interest point of view.
Problem solved right? Not so fast my friend. Most families are bracing for the hard economic realities of today and college funding is an important, if not the most important, factor in making a college selection. This is the time to look VERY carefully at the TOTAL cost of attendance at each college that's offered you a place in their incoming class. Along with your parents and perhaps an external advisor, you need to understand the world of loans, work/study, and budgeting time and money. Once you understand the REAL cost of attendance, then you will be in a position to make a decision on which college will be the total best fit for you AND your parents.
This is rough. It is agonizing. It is a traumatic event. It can crush you and take away your motivation…the list of negative things could go on and on. A denial is nothing more than what it implies: the college did not see you as a fit and it let you know so that you could move on to consider other possibilities. It is how YOU take the denial that is most important. It is okay to cry, to grieve, to be angry, to think about telling the college how sorry they are going to be for not taking you and so on… You are now at a pivotal point in your development of coping skills that will be a part of the formation of the future person you will become. Go through the Kubler-Ross psychological steps of the loss: the first being-guess what? : Denial, then Anger (no problem there right?), Bargaining(I'll do ANYTHING to change this outcome), Depression (it's okay to feel bad, you're human) and then most importantly Acceptance.
Acceptance (amazing how these college admission words keep coming up!) of the result allows you to move on. Moving through the stages quickly will get you focused in the right direction instead of playing the "If only I": woulda, coulda, shoulda blame games. You can now look at your other choices and if you really look carefully you'll find some wonderful things in the college that DOES want you on their campus.
This is the beast of ADD because it leaves you in limbo. This is your absolute first choice in colleges. You compare yourself to others that were admitted and don't see how they could have been chosen over you. You do the math based on what is the probability of getting in as an admitted student if you were originally deferred. You feel panicky because you do not have the path cleared for you like the admitted or denied student. Well, DON'T let paralysis creep into the picture. You must put a plan in place that deals with the possible outcomes and you must do it right away.
First, let the college know that you still have a strong desire to attend. You have established some level of email communication with the admissions officer that is responsible for your geography, right? Let them know how you feel. If you get ANY good news, academic or otherwise, that might shed new light or reinforce a positive bit of information about yourself, make sure that the college is informed. To do this you can use your email contact or if appropriate, your college counselor, but don't be a pest and email every day. Once you have done these things you must move on to make other plans. Be prepared to go through the same grief steps of those that were denied and then generate and direct your enthusiasm on to your next college. Lighten up and make the best of a (not so really) bad situation. Doing nothing is NOT an option and fretting will only take a toll on your mental and physical health. You must put yourself into a position where you can envision a positive outcome NO MATTER what happens.
For behavioral ADD, people are now asked to use the acronym ADHD instead of ADD. So for this rendition of ADD let's add the "H". In this case, H stands for HOPE. Not hope like winning a lottery, but hope in terms of optimism, future promise, and the filling of expectations. While the content of your ADD may be immutable, the way you hold and interpret and act on the context will define how you can handle this form of ADD.

BOSS: Attorney General Barr Brings Back Federal Death Penalty to Execute Child Killers
Big League National Security
The death penalty is back on the table in the United States.
Tom Pappert
A press release from the Department of Justice reveals that Attorney General William Barr is reinstating the death penalty after a two decade laps in punishment.
According to a press release from the Department of Justice, Barr has reinstated the death penalty as a possible result of serious crimes prosecuted by the federal government. This comes after two decades of the policy being removed from federal sentencing guidelines.
From the Department of Justice press release:
Attorney General William P. Barr has directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to adopt a proposed Addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol—clearing the way for the federal government to resume capital punishment after a nearly two decade lapse, and bringing justice to victims of the most horrific crimes. The Attorney General has further directed the Acting Director of the BOP, Hugh Hurwitz, to schedule the executions of five death-row inmates convicted of murdering, and in some cases torturing and raping, the most vulnerable in our society—children and the elderly.
"Congress has expressly authorized the death penalty through legislation adopted by the people's representatives in both houses of Congress and signed by the President," Attorney General Barr said. "Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding. The Justice Department upholds the rule of law—and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system."
The Federal Execution Protocol Addendum, which closely mirrors protocols utilized by several states, including currently Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, replaces the three-drug procedure previously used in federal executions with a single drug—pentobarbital. Since 2010, 14 states have used pentobarbital in over 200 executions, and federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly upheld the use of pentobarbital in executions as consistent with the Eighth Amendment.
The press release also notes that five individuals are already set to be executed under the new guidelines. These include a member of a white supremacist group who murdered three people, a man who murdered an elderly grandmother and forced her granddaughter to sit beside the lifeless corpse for several hours, a man who violently raped, murdered, and then dismembered a 16-year-old girl, a man who tortured and executed his toddler age daughter, and a man who shot and killed five people, including two who planned to testify against him.
While some consider the death penalty to be always inappropriate, it is largely seen as a deterrent to committing egregious, violent crimes.

What better version of 3d max bet? Better of course download the latest version (3ds max 2010). Less need to install additional plug-ins required. But if you use Vray or other external renderers (mental ray is not considered, it is built into 3ds max), and you need to work now (or learn to straight quickly), it is better to wait and download the previous version (3ds max 2009). As for 3ds Max 2010 has not yet run-in external renderers, and plug a little, and old versions of the new Max will not work. For those who downloaded VRay 1.5 SP3 for 3ds Max 2010: If you downloaded kraknuty VRay 1.5 SP3 for 3ds Max 2010 – he kraknut wrong (normally will not work). And so terribly slows down the system (at render time increases more than 20 times) and it has a watermark.
Plus a density render different. So no time to waste bill of exchange – the miracle did not happen VRay 1.5 SP3 and SP4 will not work. By the way is already possible to download Vray 1.50 SP4, but little good of it … I recall that 3ds Max 2010 and 3ds Max Design 2010 were published March 24, 2009.

First, better vospopolzovatsya temporary shelter, to allow time to study the earth's surface, ensure the correct place to build a garden at home. When they know the properties of soil on the site of the future construction and topography of the site, you can begin to determine the size of the foundation. As a general rule, building restriction depends on the mechanical properties of the soil, and often when determining the size of the foundation should be considered not the ground on which relies directly on the building, and a layer, which lies deeper, because in many cases, subsidence was caused by a slow contraction of deep-lying layer of clay. Often there is in place utilities and, perhaps, just where you are going to place their buildings. This is especially true fulfillment of the requirement for placement of individual building mainly on the free areas, including areas previously considered unsuitable for construction or for agriculture. These reasons make it necessary to specify the size of plots allocated to an individual house, garden or orchard, because when you turn in the construction of artificial above-ground or underground, "territories" the results taking into account land area in comparison with the data recommended in the SNP will be different. Norms GSP 43-85 "Building the territory of collective gardens and buildings "with changes and additions approved in 1988 are presented in accordance with new legislative instruments. These standards apply to the design of buildings the territory of collective gardens, garden houses and other buildings of public and private use members of gardening partnerships.
With the help of ornamental plants can be changed for the better and embellish any terrain. This suggests that planting your site does not hurt. Landscapers, compared with the simple inhabitant, opt for plants that they just liked, using only those plants that are most appropriate in a given case size, or color combination, while clearly think through all the conditions most suitable for plant life. Curious fact that this work does not always deal only in the summer. For example, planting of shrubs and trees are most favorable in the winter. And can you remember his locality, wherever there was no green grass. He gives the territory a special kind, all terrain, with him looking well-groomed, you can even say gives a kind of serenity, and rich emerald green grass catches the eye and brings serenity of thought and sensation.
For the formation of a lawn are often used pre-established turf. The lawn of this type, after it was packed, looks absolutely smooth, neat in appearance, with bright greens. Greening territory and arranging lawn, you should always remember that plants need regular maintenance and watering. Very easy to use irrigation, which is performed automatically. Automation itself is all done, you do not have to follow for irrigation, just turn on and everything. Water space is also very decorate and enhance the potential design of each locality. Many people want to see in their own territory as a reservoir pool, he will beautify the area, and thus will help you cool in hot weather, and even allow to maintain vitality at the right level, but it must be said, can not hurt.
design pools – is the first step in their construction, neither the architect begins to work immediately with construction itself and I must say that this situation is justified, since previously must take into account a lot (for example, will be located ventilation and heating systems ). To build and equip a swimming pool, will take a lot of financial costs and labor, so it appears. However, all these costs are more than restored. His presence Pool not only serves as an additional ornament areas, but also has significant impact on the well-being. Increasingly, now, are different, hydromassage pools – a pool, reminiscent of natural sources (natural) on the action. The water in these basins hits, both from the geyser, the thus exerting a beneficial effect on human well-being, strengthens and heals the body.
Rose – one of the most beautiful, magnificent flowers. As the truth of the queen of the garden. It requires respect for themselves and especially reverent attitude. However, despite all the charm and beauty of this flower, following the laws of the landscape design should be aware that any of these proud beauties not put at any place. There are certain landing sites, where the roses look best and well-adapted to environmental conditions.
Since roses do not like hot weather and its bad tolerate, not passed to plant these flowers open under the sun, often using them to the curb. In any case, the rosary has become the most vibrant and attractive place on your site, to become its ornamentation. And all that need from you to create it – it's a small area of free land, taking care of your flower and some expert advice. In order to grow a rose garden of your dreams, you can choose the most interesting Roses sorts of bright colors and types of inflorescences. One has only to remember what colors of roses combines best with a particular flower. Choosing a place for a rose garden, is to give preference to solar and wind-protected place.
Before beginning of work to properly fertilize the soil. And be sure to remember that in the immediate vicinity of the flower bed should be no trees or other plants with extensive root system. Also, remember that the roses perfectly look in the compositions only in the event that she will be given to the main place. And in this regard should be paid some attention to the plants, the main associates beauty of your garden. In mixborders next to roses traditionally planted delphiniums, aconite, veronica and veronica Struma, digitalis, bearded irises, lupines, various kinds and sorts of bells (this looks particularly impressive bell molochnotsvetkovy). Already become a classic combination of roses, clematis and honeysuckle twisted. It is also not less impressive and original next to the roses will look fine prickly plants, such as mordovniki and feverweed. In all their forms and blue blossoms gray-green or bluish foliage. Ironically, but not less effective may be combined with roses, wormwood, cloves pinnate with narrow blue-blue-gray leaves and fragrant flowers in different shades of red, pink, purple; as well as milfoil. An interesting design decision, you can create, if the foreground you plant lavender or sage Asherah.
In recent times there are discussions devoted to the selection of the optimal heating systems of various scales, from the heating system circuit flat to the heating system of the city. There are two Classical choices: centralized or autonomous heating. Each of these options has both advantages and disadvantages of which were published many times articles in various publications, including journal "New Subject". As a result, attempts to optimize the classical scheme of "born" combined schemes: quarterly boilers, home heating with individual door-to-door with domestic boilers, etc. To date, one of the the most popular solutions is considered to be the following: a source of heat (whether CHP, quarterly or rooftop boiler room), two-pipe heating system of pre-insulated pipes and teplopunkt (group home, any individual, so-called ITP, consumers). More detailed features of ITP are described in the article, Mr. Shemchuk VV, which was published in the previous issue, so in this article on this We do not dwell. However, it should be noted that the use of ITP in our opinion is more rational in terms of new construction (the ability to provide a heat input to the apartment and the door-to-door beam layout of the heating system) than in the reconstruction of existing systems (heating risers are in every room of the apartment, and, as a rule, the heating system – One-pipe). All this leads to the fact that efforts to improve the heating of existing homes, the use of ITP would entail the reconstruction of not only heating but also overhaul the entire house.


The Devastation War Spoilers, of course.
Post subject: The Devastation War Spoilers, of course.
I've read the Compendium translation by Capowski, and pretty much everything else that to my knowledge exists on Phantasy Star III, but it is all still quite fuzzy on what exactly the "Devastation War" exactly was. Based on the fuzzy information and timeline, it might or might not be an ethnic or race war, or war of literal good versus evil.
Orakio and Laya were alive on Palma in AW 1284, and part of some sort of resistance to Mother Brain and/or Dark Falz. They fight Dark Falz; They lose.
Palma blows up via Gaira crashing into it, 400 ships like Alisa III and Neo Palm leave in the nick of time.
Rolf and co. destroy Dark Falz, Mother Brain, and Earthmen.
The Great Collapse occurs on Mota and Dezo; Algol loses 90% of its life and technology.
Orakio and Laya lead a Robot contingent and a (Bio)Monster Contingent, respectively.
Somehow along the way, they end up on opposing sides.
Also, Rulakir states his heart went black 1000 years ago when his family died, which implies a wife/child and twin brother of Orakio.
Chaz and co. travel to the Abyss and defeat/seal The Profound Darkness.
Only 2 of the 400 ships remain or are accounted for.
Kein/Rhys is born, gives way to 2 more generations, which defeat Dark Falz.
And may or may not destroy another domed ship like Alisa III and Neo Palm.
And may or may not bring Dark Falz to Earth of the Sol System, creating a "catch 22" between PS1 and PS3.
Is the "Devastation War" an actual war or event?
Or is the "Devastation War" a blanket term like "The Great Collapse?" Which wasnt a single event, but rather a series of events which result from the loss of the planet Palma, the seal Palma transfixed, and the "care" Mother Brain no longer was able to provide as a result of being shut down?


Sacred sites: the review we have to have?
Sacred sites issues rear their heads from time to time, usually highlighting the black – white divide.
Recently the seemingly laughable demand was made that traditional dancing must not take place at the Overland Telegraph Station, and then Steve Brown, an elected member of the Town Council, demanded a review.
This, clearly, ensures an ultimately democratic process in the decision making in all sacred sites matters. The Minister at present is Bess Price who lives in Alice Springs. You'll see her down the Mall.
Having gotten this off our chests we can now take a constructive look at what needs to be done during the current review of the Act.
Firstly, it's not clear what the breadth is of that review. It was ordered by Alison Anderson before her banishment to the back bench. Is it just dealing with some minor nitty gritty or some broad issues?
Earlier statements by pollies signal profound confusion, fuelled in part by Opposition claims that the Chief Minister wants to sack the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority (AAPA) board and replace it with mates.
Ms Anderson said yesterday that the objective of the review she ordered was merely to streamline the issuing of certificates.
When one has been issued for a site that certificate would then remain in place even if the land is sold or transferred to another owner, so that the new owner doesn't have to go through the same rigmarole all over again.
Ms Price seems to say it's not her review, but she looks forward to looking at the outcome. She has promised an interview with the Alice Springs News Online. AAPA CEO Ben Scambary did not respond to a request for comment.
Should this be a review about minor detail or the entire functioning of the Act?
The Full Monty seems to be called for given the unsavoury recent clash between the AAPA and the Mbantua Festival, and that controversies of this kind keep erupting from time to time, fuelling racist sentiments.
It seems that the town's four big lobbies, the Town Council, the Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Central Australia and the Arid Lands Environment Centre need to get a wriggle-on, starting with consultation with their members and ratepayers about sacred site issues, lifting them out of the realm of racist bickering and rumour mongering.
What should the review be looking at? Some thoughts.
Precisely on what occasions have sacred sites been a worry? This should disclose what losses (put a dollar figure on each) and inconvenience they have created.
Conversely, what benefit has the town received from sacred sites? After all, they are the day to day manifestation of the world's oldest living culture.
Sub-questions here could be: What do tourists say to us about this? And secondly, what have we done to benefit from these cultural assets that world-wide are the kinds of reasons for which people spend lots of money to visit far-away places.
That further begs the question why Aboriginal people themselves don't make something of the commercial opportunity in that: it could be a nice little earner. Given its availability, why is the taxpayer expected to continue welfare support at the current massive level?
And then, what is a reasonable way of showing respect to sacred sites, bearing in mind that not just Aboriginal people have them. Anzac Hill – a notorious place for illegal drinking – is a "whitefeller" sacred site.
Does walking on one constitute desecration? Looking at it? Talking about it?
And then there would be the big questions: how many lives would need to be saved for the custodians to allow a flood mitigation dam?
To what degree should cultural demands be allowed that shoot real estate prices through the roof, as has been the case, or the development of public infrastructure are blocked?
Make your views known. Bess Price will thank you. The buck stops with her.


The Famous Five Band more than exceeded our expectations when they played at our wedding. You can never be completely sure when booking a band (unless you have seen them before) but we would highly recommend the Famous Five Band to anyone looking for a professional band for their wedding or event.
Many of our guests commented how much they enjoyed the band as well and this was proven by just about every one of our guests getting up and dancing by the end of the night – old and young!
From our first enquiry right through to our wedding Mike and the band were very helpful, friendly and accommodating of our requirements.
Having the Famous Five Band play at our wedding reception was a brilliant ending to a fantastic day.


This innerspring unit has each individual coil wrapped. This was done by the mattress industry some years ago for two reasons. One of them being with each coil wrapped in its own fiber casing, this cut down on the reverberation from the springs making it a quieter sleep with no sound from the coils. And the other advantage is with each spring in its own case, after years of use "spring sway" is greatly reduced over time.
If you are looking for a very comfortable sitting and sleeping mattress where there is no chance of your overnight guests and relatives complaining about "the futon"...then this is the ticket. Everybody loves this mattress.

Rabies: Uggah wants MOH to investigate alleged negligence by doctor in latest death
By Samuel Aubrey on June 13, 2019, Thursday at 6:29 PM News, Sarawak
Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas
KUCHING: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas has called on the Ministry of Health (MOH) to investigate an alleged case of negligence by a doctor in the 18th rabies-related death in Sarawak.
Uggah, who is also Sarawak Disaster Management Committee chairman, said this was the second such case recorded in Sarawak where the doctor had allegedly failed to refer their 'dog bite patient' to the Rabies Clinic.
He pointed out that such case of negligence was very serious and should not happen, because it was imperative for the doctors to adhere to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) set by the Health Ministry.
"I would like to express my deepest condolences and sympathy towards the family of the victim as reported by the Director General of the Ministry of Health today.
"I felt really disturbed as I read the history of the case. It was reported that the doctor who had treated the victim, had failed to send or refer the victim to the Rabies Clinic in Kuching immediately.
"I call upon the Health Ministry to investigate this case and to ensure that the SOP that was established on how to respond to any cases involving dog bites, which include immediately sending the patient to the Rabies Clinic, has not been breached," he said, when commenting on the latest fatality involving a 61-year-old woman from Pending.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in a statement said the victim passed away at 10.47pm yesterday at the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH), where she had been receiving intensive care since June 8.
He added that the victim was bitten by a stray dog on her right thumb on April 29 this year when she tried to chase away a dog that was barking at her.
The victim washed her wound for about five minutes and immediately sought treatment at a community clinic near her home. Another appointment was then set for a week later, but she did not show up for the follow-up treatment as she thought that her wound had healed, he explained.
"On June 6, she felt sick and discomfort on her right arm. She went to SGH (June 8) and was immediately administered Rabies immunoglobulin (RIG).
"The next day, she complained of nausea, headache, difficulty to swallow water (hydrophobia), discomfort on her right arm and weak at her lower body," Dr Noor Hisham said in a statement today.
To date, rabies encephalitis cases among humans in Sarawak since the outbreak of the disease was declared in the state on July 1, 2017, has reached 19, including 18 deaths.
From the 19 cases, three were reported this year. A sole survivor, a seven-year-old boy, was discharged from SGH early last year and is currently receiving treatment at home due to neurological complications.
The state Health Department has issued a notice to all medical practitioners in Sarawak to ensure the administration of animal-bite cases followed the guidelines that had been set for animal bite cases.
Cases with the risk of rabies infection or victims who did not seek follow-up treatment must be informed immediately to the nearest Health office so that the victims could be traced.
"To avoid rabies infection, the Health Ministry reminds the people to wash their bite wound with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes and immediately seek treatment at the nearest government clinic or hospital.
"The public must also avoid being bitten by dogs or wild animals considering that many areas in Sarawak are declared as rabies positive," Dr Noor Hisham said.

Claremont, Calif. (February 7, 2011) — Pitzer College mourns the death of Mrs. Virginia Richards Atherton, widow of Pitzer's founding president, John W. Atherton. Mrs. Atherton passed away on February 4, 2011. She had just celebrated her 90th birthday on January 5 with her family and friends.
Since 1963, Mrs. Atherton was an active member of the Pitzer community and held a keen interest in the developments of the College. As Pitzer's "first lady," Mrs. Atherton set the standard for entertaining and hospitality in Claremont. Founding faculty and their families credit her for building genuine friendships and relationships that turned Pitzer into a true community on and off campus.
Mrs. Atherton often attended campus events including the Atherton Society Dinners established by Emeritus Professor Ronald Macaulay in the early 80s and more recently the Munroe Center for Social Inquiry's "Capitalism in Question" lectures. She enjoyed meeting each of the John W. Atherton Scholarship and Esther Stewart Richards Scholarship (established in 1967 in honor of her mother) recipients and invited them to her home for lunches and dinners–a tradition she maintained since the scholarship fund was established.
In 2005 the College announced it would dedicate one of its three Gold LEED certified residence halls, The John W. and Virginia Atherton Residence Hall, in honor of President and Mrs. Atherton, which pleased her so much that during her monthly lunches with Emeritus Professor Lee Munroe she would often ask to drive by so she could check on the building's construction progress. The Atherton building opened in fall 2007 and she participated in the celebration.
Virginia Atherton will be greatly missed by everyone fortunate to know her and will be remembered as a great and wry conversationalist, a wonderful hostess, a kind and caring individual, a fantastic bridge player, a Claremont historian and a beloved member of the Pitzer College community.
Three children survive Mrs. Atherton and her husband President Atherton: John Jr., Thomas and Carolyn; four grandchildren: Anne, John, Jenne, and Matthew; and three great-grandchildren: Esamine, Burdine and Adelle.
A memorial service is being planned and when more information becomes available it will be shared with the Pitzer community. In lieu of flowers please direct donations to the John W. Atherton Scholarship and Esther Stewart Richards Scholarship at Pitzer College.

In an article entitled "Could women outrun men in ultramarathon races?", Jenefer Bam and her collaborators explored the hypothesis that running performance of men and women converge with increasing race distance, and suggested that women have superior fatigue resistance.
It'd be great to independently validate these results using data from racently, but it presently does not have data for distances greater than 68 km. These data will become available in the future though.
However, I'm able to explore a similar gender related question using the racently data.
But first let's take a look at some results published by Running USA.
The plot above indicates that in America there has been a steady escalation in the number of athletes taking part in running events from 1990 through to a peak in 2013, whereafter there was a slight decline. However, in addition to the increase in overall numbers, something interesting has been happening with gender ratio. Back in 1990 races were dominated by men: only 25% of runners were female. However, in 2010 the gender balance swung in favour of women and there have been more women than men taking part in running events since then.
Data from racently indicates that something similar has been taking place in South Africa: since 2009 the relative proportion of female runners has been consistently growing. They have not reached parity yet, but the trend suggests that this is just a few years away.
But this is only half the story.
Let's look more closely at a few specific races, ones where multiple distances are on offer.
We'll start with the Stella Royal, hosted by the Stella Athletic Club on 19 March 2017. The plot below compares the gender representation for the 10 km and 25 km events. Whereas female runners only made up 31% of the field for the 25 km event, the proportion was 60%for the 10 km event.
A second example: the Maritzburg Marathon hosted by the Natal Carbineers on 26 February 2017. A number of distances were on offer, but we'll look specifically at the 10 km and 42.2 km races. Here only 24% of the field was female for the longer race, while the shorter event was 65% female.
There seems to be a pattern emerging!
One final example, the Umgeni Water Marathon hosted by the Collegians Harriers and Howick Athletic Club on 12 March 2017. Here we find that the field for the 42.2 km event was only 17% female, while for the 15 km the proportion of female runners soared to 69%.
It would be a mistake to generalise on the basis of the three examples presented above. But, since racently has data for many more races, we are able to compile some fairly robust statistics from a larger population.
The boxplot below reflects the gender ratio (number of women divided by the number of men) for a number of races over various distances. The pattern is quite clear, with fields for longer races strongly dominated by male runnners, but women generally outnumbering men in shorter events.
This presents an interesting paradox: although the work of Bam and collaborators suggests that women are potentially superior to men over longer distances, it appears that they still have a preference for shorter races.
Why? I do not know. I'm just going to put it down to the enigmatic nature of women. And, for the moment, I'm happy with that.

They must cite relevant published research, highlight novel aspects of the submission, and identify its most significant contributions. Papers are evaluated on the basis of originality, significance, quality of research, quality of writing, and contribution to conference program diversity.
Papers may range from 2 to 10 pages long (excluding references). However, paper length must match the size of the contribution. Full paper should not exceed 10 pages, and short paper should not exceed 6 pages in SIGCHI Paper Format. Focus and brevity will be preferred over verbosity and the inclusion of irrelevant information. Papers making one clear, significant contribution are more likely to be accepted than papers making several lesser contributions. Papers with length disproportionate to their contribution will be rejected. Presentation time during the conference will be allocated according to the weight of contribution. However, no distinction will be made between papers in the program or proceedings. Based on the review decision, however, some submitted papers may be accepted as posters. Authors of accepted papers may also be invited to showcase their work in the creative showcase session.
Optionally, a video describing the work (5 minutes maximum). Please note that a video is required if you wish your work to also be considered for presentation in the creative showcase.
Papers will be subjected to a double blind peer review by a panel of domain experts. Authors are expected to anonymise their papers by removing all author and institutional identity from the title and header of the paper as well as any information embedded within the submission file. However, all references must remain intact, i.e. submitted papers should not have blank references (e.g., "8. REMOVED FOR REVIEWING"). In cases where you build on (and cite) your own work we suggest you refer to yourself in the third person, for example "This study builds on prior work by <author names> ." At least one author must register for the conference by the early registration deadline in order for the final version of the paper to be published in the conference proceedings.

Has Tech Made Moving Nukes Safe Enough? Depends on Whom You Ask
Source: Las Vegas Sun | Scott Sonner, Associated Press | October 16, 2019
The plutonium core for the first atomic weapon detonated in 1945 was taken from Los Alamos National Laboratory to a test site in the New Mexico desert in the backseat of a U.S. Army sedan.
Officials put other bomb parts inside a metal container, packed it into a wooden crate and secured it in the steel bed of a truck under a tarp, the U.S. Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration says in a historical account.
Grainy black-and-white photos show special agents and armed military police accompanying the shipment nearly 75 years ago.
"Nuclear materials transportation has evolved since then," the department posted online last year.
Today, radioactive shipments are hauled in double-walled steel containers inside specialized trailers that undergo extensive testing and are tracked by GPS and real-time apps.
But whether shipping technology has evolved enough to be deemed safe depends on whom you ask.
The Trump administration's revival of a decades-old plan to move the nation's most dangerous radioactive waste to a remote spot in the Nevada desert has reignited a long-running fight in the courts and Congress over how to safely get the hazardous remnants of decades of bomb-making and power generation to a permanent resting place.
"It seems to me, that part of the gist of the government's argument is that, 'We've been doing this a long time. We know what we are doing. You have to trust us,'" noted U.S. District Judge Miranda Du, who is considering a lawsuit Nevada filed against the Energy Department over weapons-grade plutonium secretly being sent there.
For its part, the government says there are no safety concerns.
The Nuclear Regulatory Agency in charge of regulating the commercial nuclear power industry says more than 1,300 shipments of spent fuel from nuclear power plants have been completed safely over the past 35 years. Four were involved in accidents, but none resulted in a release of radioactive material or a fatality due to radiation exposure.
The Energy Department's Office of Secure Transportation has moved radioactive material more than 7 million miles (11 million kilometers) "without incident, with no recordable accident," said Phil Calbos, assistant deputy administrator for defense programs at the agency's National Nuclear Security Administration.
"Over time we've continued to improve techniques, procedures, equipment to make sure these are as hard of a target … and as safe of a vehicle as you can imagine," he said.
But there have been close calls, said Robert Halstead, an analyst who has studied the dangers of transporting radioactive waste for 35 years and is head of Nevada's Agency for Nuclear Projects.
A truck crash in 1971 killed a driver and propelled a cask full of nuclear waste into a ditch in Tennessee. The container was damaged, but no radioactive material leaked.
More recently a Tennessee contractor revealed earlier this year it may have mislabeled low-level nuclear waste — items such as contaminated equipment or workers' clothing — that potentially was sent to Nevada over six years without the proper safeguards.
The Energy Department responded by announcing in July it will review all radioactive waste packaging and shipping.
Perhaps the greatest point of disagreement is whether the "rigorous testing" is rigorous enough. It would be dangerous and expensive to run tests involving explosions, fire or other hazards on a real cask of spent nuclear fuel. So it's never been done in the United States.
"What isn't clear is: 'What are the conditions under which the package would fail?" said Edwin Lyman, head of the nuclear safety project at the Union of Concerned Scientists, who has studied the hazards of nuclear shipments for 25 years.
There's enough high-level nuclear waste awaiting disposal in the U.S. to fill a football field 65 feet deep. Few states want to house it within their borders.
To solve the longtime problem, the Trump administration has revived a decades-old plan to move the nation's most dangerous radioactive waste from around the country to a site 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas, the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository. It was proposed to hold 77,000 tons of highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel in a maze of tunnels bored into an ancient volcanic ridge.
Nevada doesn't want it. The state and its congressional delegation have been fighting the project and other attempts to store nuclear waste in Nevada for decades, and the Yucca Mountain project was shelved in 2010 under pressure from then-Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and President Barack Obama.
U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, a Nevada Democrat who helped defeat a GOP-led effort to restore funding to Yucca Mountain last May, called it "the latest attempt to force nuclear waste down Nevada's throats."
Meanwhile, the state has sued the federal government over the half metric ton of plutonium secretly shipped from South Carolina to the Nevada National Security Site. That site is separate from but close to the Yucca Mountain site.
While U.S. leaders battle over where to ship the nuclear waste, the government says it has upgraded transportation containers and the way it hauls the material.
The original design for a nuclear waste container was a single-walled barrel, with a top crimp-sealed like a soup can. Now, containers are individually welded and double-walled, with an outer wall designed to regulate pressure and prevent the release of radioactivity and an inner wall with another pressure indicator.
They also use new communication systems to track shipments and their armed escorts in real-time.
The Transportation Emergency Control Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, tracks shipments round the clock with GPS and real-time apps like those used to find cellphones.
"When a shipment is on the road, we know exactly where they are, how fast they are going and what the future route is going to be," said Phil Calbos, assistant deputy administrator for defense programs at the Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration.
The requirements for those who handle nuclear material have also dramatically changed over the years, especially in the years since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. They undergo frequent background checks and stringent licensing, and licensed contractors to identify security resources, equipment and technology to store and transport waste and provide local authorities with more information about shipments.
The biggest change has been better technology to analyze the risks of potential accidents, according to Energy Department researchers.
Officials previously were forced to assume transportation containers, called casks, would break and release dangerous waste because they had no proof they wouldn't.
A spent nuclear fuel cask must survive — intact — a sequence including a 30-foot drop to a hard, flat surface; a 3-foot fall onto a vertical steel bar; a 30-minute fire at 1,475 degrees; and immersion in 650 feet of water.
But containers with real fuel inside don't actually go through those rigors.
Using 3D computer models for the first time in 2014, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission determined no radioactive material would be released if a fuel tanker crashed with a truck hauling a container of spent nuclear fuel from a power plant.
Emergency personnel cleaning up the accident scene would likely be exposed to radiation, but there wouldn't be a wider threat, Kevin Connolly at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and Ronald Pope at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois said in a report two years later.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which sets testing standards and certifies containers, said the computer models provide "reasonable assurance of adequate protection of public health and safety" and that science shows scale-model testing can be relied on to make regulations.
The General Accounting Office, an independent, nonpartisan arm of Congress that examines how taxpayer money is spent, "has no concerns that casks and rail cars can be built to an acceptably high safety standard," said Frank Rusco, GAO's chief of environment and natural resources.
But "getting societal acceptance of trainloads of that stuff going from all these places is a bigger challenge," he said.
The Western Interstate Energy Board, overseen by the 11 governors in the Western Governors Association and leaders of three western Canadian provinces, advocates full-scale testing. The association said last year that none of the 17 types of casks certified to transport spent nuclear fuel has been tested to failure.
Cost is the biggest obstacle to full-scale testing that would destroy containers, Halstead said. His 2012 report estimated tests for truck containers carrying spent nuclear fuel at $9 million and rail casks at $20 million. It might cost $15 million just to build a facility that could lift and drop a 170-ton rail cask, his report said.
"The public defines 'safe' as zero risk," said Halstead, whose Agency for Nuclear Projects is fighting plutonium shipments to Nevada and spent nuclear fuel transfers to the proposed Yucca Mountain dump. "The technical community defines 'safe' as complying with regulatory standards."

Thousands of Bees Found in Utah Couple's Bedroom Wall
By Katie Kindelan May 14, 2013
The beehive featured prominently on the state flag of Utah does not hold a candle to the one found inside the bedroom wall of a family that calls the state home.
Tyler Judd of Provo, Utah, called a beekeeper last week after he saw a few bees buzzing around the home he and his wife, Haley, moved into just four months ago.
When the beekeeper, Al Chubak, arrived Friday evening for what he thought would be a routine call, he instead found an infestation of bees inside the couple's bedroom wall, inches from where they sleep.
"We found maybe a bee or two in our house but nothing else," Judd, 27, told ABCNews.com. "I didn't even hear them in the wall at first."
Though quiet, the bees had built a virtual village behind the Judd's bedroom wall, totaling between 70,000 and 80,000 in number, according to Chubak's estimate.
After the initial discovery Friday, Chubak came back the next day and spent about seven hours ridding the Judd's home of their unwanted guests.
"Once he opened the wall, he got out his vacuum and started sucking up the bees," Judd said. "Then he took the honeycomb out and cleaned everything out and sealed it off."
The Judds temporarily relocated to a guest bedroom in their home but are now back in their master bedroom. They remain, however, shocked at what was hiding in their walls.
""I know it happens to other people but I didn't think it was that big," Judd said of the beehive. "It was kind of unbelievable and kind of crazy that there were so many bees right behind our bed."

National standards seen as part of prescription for ailing economy
NEO SENOKO
MASERU – Lesotho's ailing economic conditions could improve steadily with the introduction of national standards that are in line with the Commonwealth Standards Network (CSN).
This was revealed on Wednesday during a two-day standards and trade stakeholder workshop organised by the Ministry of Trade with the support of the Commonwealth Standards Network (CSN).
CSN aims to tackle non-tariff barriers and promote trade amongst all Commonwealth states through the participation, adoption and implementation of international standards.
Lesotho is a beneficiary of the CSN.
International standards play an important role in promoting productivity and efficiency, reducing costs, and removing barriers to trade while driving economic growth.
As such, CSN is especially relevant to National Standards Bodies (NSBs) from Commonwealth nations that are looking to boost their international trade capabilities.
The two-day workshop was also aimed at creating awareness among stakeholders in a move towards the introduction and setting up of the country's own national standards.
In this process, however, stakeholders warned that Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) should not be left behind in a journey towards formulating the national standards as these are the people who may provide insight into what needs to be done by virtue of being on the ground and having to deal with trade challenges on a regular basis.
Government should also actively participate in this journey that is set to promote the use and awareness of international standards which, in turn, will have a direct impact on the country's economy through reduced trade barriers and eradication of poverty.
With a population of about two million, Lesotho is classified as a lower middle-income country.
The country finds itself at a crossroads needing new engines for growth, a more streamlined role for the state and a dynamic private sector to help it seize opportunities in regional and global markets.
According to World Bank statistics, the country's economy has faced challenges emanating from political instability and the ripple effects of a prolonged period of slow growth in South Africa.
These, the World Bank says, have led to falling Southern Africa Customs Union (SACU) revenue and liquidity challenges.
The World Bank further reports that economic growth from 2015 to 2017 averaged 1.7 percent.
A 0.6 percent of GDP revenue contraction was experienced in the 2017/18 fiscal year as a result of a contraction in agriculture output and fiscal challenges.
Some of these economic setbacks could soon be eliminated with the advent of national standards as trading across boarders would be much easier, thus opening new market doors for the country.
According to further statistics, the Commonwealth market includes 53 independent states which is home to 2.4 billion people.
The intra-Commonwealth investments therefore generate three times more jobs than investments from non-Commonwealth countries and they are projected to hit one trillion US dollars by 2020.
Minister of Trade and Industry, Habofoanoe Lehana, confirmed that with the ongoing economic conditions, the country desperately needs the standards institution and has to create its own national standards body.
Commonwealth countries on average tend to trade around 20 percent more and generate 10 percent more investment with each other than with non-member countries.
Furthermore, bilateral costs for trading partners in Commonwealth countries are set to be 19 percent less on average compared to those in non-member countries.
"Lesotho desperately needs this body to develop her own standards and adopt international standards and run in tandem with her trading partners," Lehana said on Wednesday during the opening of the two-day workshop.
In the past years, Government has always had a five-year development plan to, amongst others, move out of poverty.
As portrayed in the National Strategic Development Plan II (NSDP II), lack of commensurate quality infrastructure that runs with the economy stifles the initiatives that the private sector is making.
As a result, Government is responding to this call by operationalising the Lesotho Standards Institution (LSI) which was enacted in 2014.
"We believe that establishment of the LSI will go a long way in supporting our private sector to produce for export markets, hence, creating the desired jobs.
"We would certainly appreciate to be provided with technical assistance to gain the skills necessary to support development of our national standards and, of course, effective use of international standards in trade," the Minister added.
Since Lesotho has acceded to the SADC Trade Protocol and is also a member of SACU, the Minister emphasised that the CSN initiative will assist Lesotho wise-up and get to maximise on opportunities provided by these arrangements.
To ensure things run smoothly towards the implementation of the Lesotho standards, Mthimkhulu Khohlokwane from the SMME Support Network agreed with the view that the private sector should not be left behind in mapping a way forward.
He said standards are important because the export market, for instance, only recognises national laboratories which will be available through the introduction of national standards.
"SMMEs should not be left behind because they are already on this journey through their different products. Some have their own analytical laboratories as we speak but the main problem is that the export market recognises national laboratories rather than the institutional ones.
"So we are saying a national laboratory should be set up and be used to confirm any results from elsewhere," Khohlokwane said in an interview with Public Eye on Wednesday shortly after the workshop.
He said setting up the national standards would also reduce unfair competition that comes with substandard products from other countries into Lesotho.
The director of the standards department in the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Molebatsi Rabolinyane, shared similar sentiments, citing that while many people are afraid setting up standards may come with its own challenges within the business world, there are more advantages than disadvantages in setting up the standards.
He agreed SMMEs need to be supported through specialised programmes with regard to the setting of standards.
"We should be able to listen to their challenges through an integrated approach because they have other challenges beside issues of standards. This is important because you cannot have a functioning standards without engaging SMMEs in your planning," Rabolinyane said in an interview with Public Eye on Wednesday.
He gave an example of India as one of the countries that succeeded in implanting national standards using a pragmatic approach to develop standard treatment guidelines for that country.

If you're addicted to carbon fiber, you might need to tie yourself down before reading this post. The new McLaren Special Operations-made Carbon Series LT is a special edition of the extreme 675 LT Spider, and as you may have guessed from the name, it uses a ridiculous amount of the magical lightweight material—packing 40 percent more carbon fiber parts than the car it's based upon.
Not that the "normal" 675 LT was lacking in the wonder substance. As McLaren reminded the world in its announcement heralding the arrival of the MSO Carbon Series LT, the 675 LT Spider not only uses carbon fiber extensively, but much of it—the front bumper, rear fenders, side intakes, rear diffuser, and "Longtail" airbrake, just to scrape the tip off the iceberg—is coated in a glossy finish in lieu of paint, exposing the woven patterns of the material.
But the new special edition 675 LT goes even further. Inspired by all the attention people paid to its one-off blue-skinned McLaren P1 that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show, MSO left pretty much the entire carbon-fiber skin of the Carbon Series LT exposed, with only with a glossy layer to protect it from the harsh environment. The A-pillars, the hood, the rear deck, the side blades, the retractable hard top, even the fuel filler flap—all sit exposed. It manages makes the MSO Longtail look even more maniacal than the 675 LT...which is no small feat.
Beyond the surplus of carbon fiber, the Carbon Series LT also picks up the McLaren Track Telemetry package that allows drivers to record their hot laps (and on-track hiccups), and there are large race car-esque louvers on the supercar's front wing. The power output goes unchanged—but with a 666-horsepower 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 tucked inside the rear of the car, it's still good for zero to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds.
Want one? Too bad. While the cars are on schedule to be built this fall, all 25 planned examples have already been claimed. Womp, womp.


Public funded Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) has barred social commentator, activist and comedian Michael Usi from taking part in any of its radio plays barely five days after he delivered an objective nation address.
Usi popularly known by his stage name Manganya has been one of popular actors in MBC's radio plays especially Sewero La Sabata Ino aired on MBC Radio1 every Saturday evening. He has been featuring in the play for almost 20 years now.
And now MBC management has decided to kick him out of its programmes following his attack on government through the nation address he delivered on Thursday (23rd March) evening through Zodiak, Times, MIJ and Joy radio stations.
According to information in our possession, MBC management has ordered all its producers to never hire or feature Usi in any of MBC's programmes including Sewero La Sabata Ino.
Usi is being accused of using his address to attack government especially on quota system which, according to our sources, was designed to control other tribes especially Tumbukas from dominating public universities' student selection.
Most Malawians are backing Usi's stand on quota system which he described as evil and a national disaster.
When contacted at first MBC Public Relations Officer, Thembi Malinki refused to comment on the issue until she consulted with her bosses.
She could not however answer her phone when contacted later on.
Usi confirmed the issue to Nyasa Times in an interview.
"I have been informed about it; in fact they are saying it's a directive from above. There is no any other explanation from them," explained Usi.
During his 40 minutes recorded address branded "Making Malawi Our Home", Usi took a swipe on both government and opposition political parties, accusing them of failing Malawians.
He criticized the country's opposition political parties for creating disorder and failing to demonstrate to Malawians that are capable of governing the country while hitting hard on the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for setting bad precedence with its thug-like type of administration.
In 2015 MBCtv stopped broadcasting Tikuferanji soap produced by Adventist Development and Relief Agency (Adra) due to Usi's alleged criticism of Peter Mutharika led administration.
Currently Tikuferanji is aired on Times television. It was initiated by Adra as an advocacy program and it addresses issues of human rights, gender, democracy and other issues.
In 2008, the radio version of the show received the radio play of the Year Award at MBC Entertainers of Year Awards, and it has been voted the best advocacy program in Malawi.
The focus of the drama series has slowly been widening to encompass not only HIV/AIDS issues but also addressing issues on human rights, gender, democracy and other social topics.
Very sorry with what the current Government is doing. Imagine just only two from Chitipa district have chanced to pursue their courses at MUST.Only TWO koma abale dzikoli likuwawa. Ana ama poiñts 9–12 are just lingering about in villages. Manganya is just right.
Guess what my prayer is. I am sure God is going to answer me and Malawi.
Don't Blam Manganya, MBC Or Makola Pple Coz Mbc Ikumapangid Lead Ndi Chipan Cholamula. If U Want 2 Blam. Blam Mr Presedent. Manganya Z Second 2 Ban At MBC This March. Malawi Should Fear Kudzudzula A Presedent. Linda Madzi Apte Aise Tionana 2019. Manganya Conteu To Enterten Us.

Your utterances lack common sense. The quota system is evil, doesn't work on the same level playing ground. It stifles competition – based on what you said, can you justify why someone who gets 13 points gets left out from the selection process while another dimwit who gets 25 points gets selected? Not surprised Santana, I have read a number of your posts – your views are typically groundless! Better zip up rather than spouting tosh!
Quota system is evil my fellow Malawians.It denies enrollment on merit into public university.No wonder to have have baked graduates whom are even failing to perform accordingly on the ground.Lets not politize issues of public interest.
