A smooth strawberry banana flavor with a dash of black cherry. You'll go bananas for this flavor!
Great mixture of strawberry, banana, and black cherry for the finish. Reminds me of Jack o Loupe, but with the twist of cherry at the end.
This flavor is spot on! Tastes just like a handful of banana runts! Very sweet banana flavor with a hint of cherry. This flavor mixes very well with the Specimen Odin's Puddin'. Makes it taste just like a sweet banana bread! Definitely one worth checking out!
This one is... Awesome, banana laffy taffy.. so good!
Da Beard is what I refer to this one as, and Da Beard is good, very good. Like banana laffy taffy candy and spot on.
Banana Beard is a fruity light banana flavor. It smells delicious out of the bottle. I am not a huge banana fan but this is a light flavor. It has hints of banana, apple and grape. It has smooth mellow taste and it has a great smell when you vape it.
A sweet candy banana, great flavor!

5 movies to get you in the mood for Hawaii
12 May 2015 Simon Petersen Archive, Beaches, North America 0
I'll be travelling to Hawaii in 12 days, 18 hours, 22 minutes, and two seconds. Not that I'm counting.
Soon (12 days, 18 hours, 21 minutes, and 30 seconds to be precise) Mrs Man vs World and I will be heading to world-famous Waikiki for a massive week of relaxation, bar hopping, shopping, swimming, sightseeing and, well, all the other things tourists do when they're on holiday in Honolulu.
I'm so excited for our Hawaiian vacation that I've decided to make a list of 5 films set in Hawaii to get me (even more) in the mood for our trip.
*Please note: this isn't necessarily a list of the best movies in Hawaii!
5. 50 First Dates
First up, an Adam Sandler movie makes the list – I warned you that it wasn't a list of the best films set in Hawaii. Still, I'm man enough to admit that I actually kind of like 50 First Dates.
Drew Barrymore stars as a woman with severe short-term memory issues, while Sandler is the self-absorbed playboy who tries to win her heart – starting from scratch every day, because she's already forgotten the day before.
Much of the movie was shot on location on the island of Oahu – Hawaii's third largest and most populated island, which I'll be visiting in only 12 days, 18 hours, 17 minutes, and 55 seconds.
4. Blue Crush
Can you possibly guess from that poster why an 18-year-old me really enjoyed the movie Blue Crush when it came out in 2002?
In these days of wedded bliss I'll be far more interested in the Hawaiian setting (honestly!) than in the three good-looking surfer girls who live to surf the massive waves of Oahu's famous North Shore. The movie stars Kate Bosworth, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sanoe Lake (the only one of the three who's of Hawaiian descent), and features guest appearances from some famous surfers who I wouldn't know even if they introduced themselves.
3. The Descendants
Finally – 12 days, 18 hours, 10 minutes, and 24 seconds before my departure – a critically acclaimed movie set in Hawaii: The Descendants deals with the dramatic struggles of a Honolulu attorney (George Clooney) in the wake of a tragic accident that leaves his wife in a coma.
I'd be lying if I said The Descendants was a cheerful film, but believe me when I say it's a very good one. As well as making many critic's best of lists for 2011, the film was nominated for best picture, best actor, best director, best editing, and best adapted screenplay at the 84th Academy Awards – winning only the last one.
The Descendants is the first movie set in Hawaii that showed me the island is more than just beautiful beaches and tourism – regular people with regular jobs live there too.
2. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
And we're back to what most people think of when they think about Hawaii: floral lei, traditional luau, and beautiful beaches. In Forgetting Sarah Marshall there's all this plus Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, and (in one haunting scene) a very naked Jason Segel.
In this Judd Apatow-produced film a struggling musician (Segel) is unceremoniously dumped by his TV star girlfriend (Bell), he heads to Hawaii for a much-needed holiday and a chance to get his life together. Unfortunately, his ex and her new lover (Brand) are staying in the same hotel.
I'll be going on my own much-needed Hawaiian holiday in only 12 days, 18 hours, 5 minutes, and 18 seconds.
1. Tora! Tora! Tora!
I've included an Adam Sandler movie on this list, but I will not steep so low as to include that Michael Bay turd Pearl Harbor here. Instead, I'd rather re-watch classic war film Tora! Tora! Tora! to get me in the mood for my impending visit to the real-life Pearl Harbor later this month.
Entertaining and informative, Tora! Tora! Tora! was nominated for five Academy Awards, including best special effects (which it won), art direction, best cinematography, best film editing, and best sound. To be fair, that's only one more nomination than Pearl Harbor received, but it also has something else that gives it the edge: Ben Affleck does not star in it.
I will definitely be visiting Pearl Harbor when I'm in Hawaii. Just 12 days, 17 hours, 55 minutes, and 51 seconds to go… the wait is killing me!

We know that children, adolescents and adults with KdVS experience speech and language difficulties. Yet there has been no detailed study of the specific problems experienced across speech (articulation), language (vocabulary and grammar) and literacy (reading) skills in KdVS. A lack of detailed characterisation of the syndrome has prevented development of targeted speech therapies.
We are working with families affected by KdVS and their treating clinicians to provide the first comprehensive, international study of communication difficulties in KdVS. We have developed a protocol for individuals with KdVS who find verbal communication difficult (non-verbal protocol) and for children who are verbal. We appreciate that different clinicians may use different assessments. Therefore, we would like to speak further with individual families and clinicians to adapt the protocols where necessary.
Thank you for considering taking part in the study. We look forward to working together to improve current management of the condition to improve health and well being for individuals and families affected with KdVS.
Read the Parent/Guardian Information Statement carefully and to sign the consent form. The signed consent form will be returned back to the speech therapist involved in the study, Dr. Angela Morgan (address below) with a copy of the document placed in your medical file.
Your therapist can e-mail Angela Morgan directly to discuss any aspects of the study further.
Please provide your contact details (including e-mail) so that a summary of the results of the study can be sent to you on completion.


Over the last twenty years I worked for several of the community mental health services on the West Island of Montreal. I worked with people with serious mental illness in their community and in treatment. For the last ten years I've been helping families through mental health crises learn to cope, adjust, and develop better communication. I focus on increasing understanding of relationships dynamics with emotion focused work. I also use psycho-education and mindfulness strategies. For 25 years I've counselled families in all kinds of situations and I look forward to helping you face your challenges.
I am a psychologist trained in community mental health. I am client centered so I consider where you are in your life path and your desires for the future. We will look at what you want out of life, what makes you stuck and how to get going to make every day better. If you are finding yourself stressed, anxious, feeling depressed, having relationship issues or feeling lost we will address these negative aspects while improvingyour strengths and building your resources. I help people to have more meaningful relationships and live more mindfully.

Meridian Line launches ethically sourced, organic cotton jeans for the outdoors
Written by Jasmin Malik Chua
Adventure calling? Gear up with Meridian Line, a range of eco-friendly denim designed for conquering the great outdoors. Available for pre-ordering through Kickstarter, the men's and women's jeans infuse ethically sourced organic cotton with two percent spandex to allow "freedom of movement without looking like you just stepped out of yoga class," according to the Long Beach, Calif.–based firm.
Meridian Line is the brainchild of artist Jeremy Collins, who launched the company with a series of graphic T-shirts and accessories in 2014. Two years later, Collins enlisted Benji Thrasher, formerly the lead designer at Prana, to kick Meridian Line's offerings up a notch; the jeans emerged from the drawing board shortly after.
But active performance isn't the denim's only twist. Each pair of pants also boasts artwork by Collins on the inner pockets, yoke, and turn-ups. The print is based on one of Collins's signature pieces: a greenery-ringed compass inset with a salmon and an eagle at play (or perhaps prey?) in a yin-yang configuration.
Meridian Line's denim is "built for outdoor activities, travel, and a casual, dareful, or professional lifestyle," Collins and Thrasher said. "Our jeans are made to go wherever you do: urban, mountain, or board meeting."
Prices for both men's and women's styles start at an accessible $79, or 20 percent less than what the jeans will cost when they hit retail outlets later this year. If you're looking for the whole top-to-toe look, a pledge of $105 will snag you a pair of jeans, an exclusive tee, and a trucker hat.

Happy first day of summer! Here in the Pacific Northwest, we joke that summer doesn't actually start until after the 4th of July. The last couple of years our weather has been so cold in the spring that tomatoes didn't grow very well or produce much at all. Squash? Never a problem, is it?
This year we've had bouts of warmer than usual weather . . . followed by bouts of chilly, wet days when we wish our tomatoes were getting more heat. I have my fingers crossed that this will be a great year for my heirloom varieties and I'll be harvesting plenty of tomatoes to dry, freeze, can and eat off the vines.
With the activities of summer swinging into high gear, before we know it we're going to have oodles of tomatoes and tons of zucchini squash. You can't give all your squash away so I think we should plan ahead.
Summary: Make use of summer's bounty of tomatoes and zucchini squash!
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cut zucchinis in half lengthwise and trim a little off the bottom so each "boat" will sit level in your baking dish.
Using a spoon, scoop the seeds out of the center of each squash to create a well.
Brush the well (flesh side of each boat) with garlic and olive oil mixture.
Arrange the cherry tomato halves or slices of tomato into each well.
Bake at 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes.
Remove from oven. Place shredded cheese in between the tomatoes. Place them back in under the broiler til golden and bubbling.
Remove from oven. Drizzle with remaining garlic olive oil mixture and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Try this gluten-free, grain-free (GAPS and SCD friendly) Almond Flour Zucchini Bread. For more squash recipes, Martha Stewart's lists 60 Summer Squash and Zucchini Recipes that you can adapt to your dietary desires.

Can I Sue My Husband's Employer for My Accident?
Premises liability attorneys Greg Fellerman and Ed Ciarimboli answer a question from an injured viewer who had an accident at her husband's workplace. With the bills piling up, is it possible to sue her employer without retaliation against her husband?
Dave Kuharchik: Love is in the air today on the set of "The Law & You." Valentine's Day is here and so are attorneys Greg Fellerman and Ed Ciarimboli for "The Law & You." Good to see you guys.
Ed Ciarimboli: Greg celebrates Valentine's Day every day.
Greg Fellerman: Happy Valentine's Day, Melanie.
Ed: He's full of love.
Dave: He's a very loving man.
Greg: Ed, bear with me.
Ed: Jen, Happy Valentine's Day. Sophia, Tess, Happy Valentine's Day.
Greg: All of my daughters, same thing.
Ed: I tell you it's quite the project having kids in school on Valentine's Day.
Dave: Well, you've got to get the Valentine's out, it's a big day.
Ed: Yeah, big day, big day.
Dave: We'll get to our question today and this is not involving love here, "I fell down a flight of steps at my husband's place of employment and broke my leg. There was no railing. I can not work and have lots of bills. Can I bring a claim against his employer and if I do can they fire him?" So Lisa from Scranton is wanting to know if there could be retribution for a case against this injury.
Ed: The question was she fell down a flight of stairs at her husband's business or her husband's place of work?
Ed: Husband's place of employment. If it's your husband's place of employment, first of all I'm not sure what you're doing there, you may have a case against the premises if the stairwell or the handrail or if something was unsafe. This is a little bit of an odd fact pattern.
Greg: People would bet confused because they may think, "Oh, it's my husband's work." That doesn't bar you from suing his employer or the owner of the building, like a workers comp case. You have a case.
Ed: I guess there are a couple of questions; What were you doing there?; What you were doing there depends on if they had to give you notice or if they had to make the premises safe. Whether you're an invitee or a licensee, there are some legal nuances here that could really impact the case. We really need a little bit more information, but you potentially have a case. We definitely need some more information.
Greg: You have to talk to a lawyer.
Ed: You've got to talk to a lawyer.
Greg: Because there's a lot of different issues. Any time you have these slip and fall cases, you need to get pictures, videos, and then get to a lawyer ASAP.
Dave: Alright, take action. Give the guys a call, check them out online, and don't forget results matter with attorneys Greg Fellerman and Ed Ciarimboli. We'll see you next time.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to Celebrate the Opening of New Early Learning "Brain Food" Project
By Mirna Chamorro
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to Celebrate Opening of New Early Learning "Brain Food" Project at the Florida Department of Health in Seminole County In Partnership with the Early Learning Coalition of Seminole
SANFORD, Florida On Wednesday, December 11, 2019, at 11 a.m., the Early Learning Coalition of Seminole (ELC of Seminole) alongside the Florida Department of Health in Seminole County (DOH-Seminole) will celebrate the opening of its "Brain Food Project" with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The ceremony will take place at the Florida Department of Health in Seminole County, located at 400 West Airport Blvd. Sanford, FL 32773. The Brain Food Project includes 'learn as you play' activities and toys accompanied by signage and literature showcasing easy tips for parents to boost brain development as they interact with their children. "Brain Food" activities and parent tips are located throughout three patient waiting room areas.
The Brain Food Project is intended to create and promote meaningful early learning opportunities and parent/child interactions while educating caregivers about their role as their child's first teacher. The tips and activities are specifically geared toward young children to help grow awareness that by the age of five, 90 percent of a child's brain has already developed.
Last year, the two organizations collaborated to conceive a creative way to leverage the idle time spent by children and caregivers as they wait for their doctor or dentist appointments. This is the first partnership of its type in Seminole County, however, Jennifer Grant, Chief Executive Officer of the Early Learning Coalition of Seminole says the potential to duplicate the idea in other facilities is something she hopes to see happen very soon.
"The Early Learning Coalition recognizes that parents are a child's first and most important teacher. We are excited to partner with DOH-Seminole to reach even more families with young children to ensure that they have the knowledge and support to grow through healthy habits and playful interactions," says Mrs. Grant.
Donna Walsh, Health Officer for the Florida Department of Health in Seminole County says, "We are excited to once again partner with the Early Learning Coalition of Seminole on this innovative way to provide facilitated educational opportunities for parents to interact with their children while waiting for their appointment and learn about making healthy changes together. These engaging interactive "Brain Food" modules placed throughout our facility are another tool to promote health literacy and provide meaningful health and wellness educational experiences for parents, guardians and their children."
According to the Healthy People 2020 guidelines, healthy development in early childhood helps prepare children for the educational experiences of kindergarten and beyond and are key determinants of future health and well–being.
The ELC of Seminole and DOH-Seminole shared fifty-percent of the project costs, and the Coalition is providing tablets to offer families the ability to sign-up for or learn more about free screenings and help with affording child care.
About the Early Learning Coalition of Seminole
The Coalition is a 501 c (3) nonprofit charitable organization created out of legislation in 1999 for the purpose of giving all Florida children access to quality early learning. Today, we continue to further our mission by providing over 4,000 Seminole County children with access to Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) and an average of 2,000 families with financial assistance for child care through the School Readiness program, each year.
In 2019, nearly 1,400 Seminole County children have received free vision and hearing screenings through the Coalition. And by contracting with over 150 child care centers the ELC of Seminole is also one of Seminole County's major economic drivers — circulating millions of taxpayers' dollars back into the community.
ELC of Seminole is proud to say it is a Heart of Florida United Way funded organization. The Coalition depends on the support of individuals, corporations and foundations to create generational change through early learning. To learn more about our $1 for $1 Match Program or how you can partner with the Early Learning Coalition of Seminole, visit: www.seminoleearlylearning.org or call Cheyenne McGregor, Director of Grants and Communications at 407-960-2462.
Sponsored by the Early Learning Coalition of Seminole and the State of Florida, Office of Early Learning.
About the Florida Department of Health
The department, nationally accredited by the Public Health Accreditation Board, works to protect, promote and improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county and community efforts.

Are you trying to apply metadata on individual files or en masse, attempting to make the vast growth of cloud storage usage manageable, meaningful storage?
Best practices leverage a consistent hierarchy, an Information Architecture in which to store and retrieve information, excellent.
Beyond that, capabilities computer science has documented and used time and time again, checksum algorithms. Used frequently after a file transfer to verify the file you requested is the file you received. Most / All Enterprise DAM solutions use some type of technology to 'allow' the enforcement of unique assets [upon upload]. In cloud storage and photo solutions targeted toward the individual, consumer side, the feature does not appear to be up 'close and personal' to the user experience, thus building a huge expanse of duplicate data (documents, photos, music, etc.). Another feature, a database [primary] key has been used for decades to identify that a record of data is unique.
Our family sharing alone has thousands and thousands of photos and music. The names of the files could be different for many of the same digital assets. Sometimes file names are the same, but the metadata between the same files is not unique, but provides value. Tools for 'merging' metadata, DAM tools have value to help manage digital assets.
Cloud storage usage is growing exponentially, and metadata alone won't help rope in the beast. Maybe ADHOC or periodic indexing of files [e.g. by #checksum algorithm] could take on the task of identifying duplicate assets? Duplicate assets could be viewed by the user in an exception report? Less boring, upon upload, 'on the fly' let the user know the asset is already in storage, and show a two column diff. of the metadata.
It's a pain for me, and quite possibly many cloud storage users. As more people jump on cloud storage, this feature should be front and center to help users grow into their new virtual warehouse.
duplicate digital assets, files. Use exception reporting to identify the duplicates, and enable [bulk] corrective action, and/or upon upload, duplicate 'error/warning' message.
Dynamic metadata tagging upon [bulk] upload using object recognition. Correlating and cataloging one or more [type] objects in a picture using defined Information Architecture. In addition, leveraging facial recognition for updates to metadata tagging.
Brief questionnaires may enable the user to 'smartly' ingest the digital assets; e.g. 'themes' of current upload; e.g. a family, or relationship tree to extend facial recognition correlations.


I'm currently contemplating whether I should get mobile broadband for my last year at university.
See, the problem is: We've had internet at the house before. Which went wrong big time! It took us ages to decide on a deal, and somewhere in the process, there was a screw-up. Suddenly we were charged two landlines, plus the internet. And the person who's name the account was in decided to collect the money but not pay the bills for a year. Which we only found out about when they cut us off. The the rooter broke and it took us ages to get reconnected - only for the contract to run out 2 weeks later. Great! Especially since the two journalists in the house need the internet on a regular basis.
People said they wouldn't contribute to the bill as they are not using the phone or internet. However, my take on things is: They CAN use it when they need it, that's what we have it for. Therefore, they should pay for it too.
But to save me all that hassle, I'm gonna get my own broadband, won't need a phone line and won't have to chase after anyone to get their share of the bill. I can also take it with me on travels or to uni and work on my laptop wherever I am. And I reckon, there are some good deals around out there, so it's not really that much more expensive, if you take the cost for line rental and downloads into consideration. Since I'll be in my third and final year at university from September onwards, and working on final projects, my dissertation and the usual studies, I'll need a constant access to the internet. It's also my lifeline home to Germany.


It sits quietly, still. Small ripples in the water. Each of the reflections telling a different story. Depending on what you want to hear. It draws you in.

The Bachelorette Australia 2017: Meet the 18 contestants
Meet the 18 handsome lads set to sweep The Bachelorette Sophie Monk off her feet.
Sep 18, 2017 8:00am
By Kietley Isrin
It's raining men!
Meet the 18 single men hoping to win Sophie Monk's heart on this season of The Bachelorette Australia.
This year's batch of bachelor's come from a very diverse range of backgrounds.
We have a fashion designer, a vineyard owner and even a magician!
TV"I now know what love is!" The Bachelorette's Sophie Monk has found her match
TVMatty J's tips for Sophie Monk's turn at The Bachelorette
TV WEEK can confirm that Sophie has indeed found 'the one'.
"Now, when I look back, I feel like I haven't really been in love before, until now," Sophie tells TV WEEK.
"I feel like I've finally met my best friend," she gushes.
The Bachelorette Australia premieres Wednesday, September 20.
Blake, 29, Entrepreneur, WA: "Sophie is a babe. She's a weapon in business, and we would have the best relationship."
Pete, 32, Fashion designer, NSW: "I've had three girlfriends, and I've been in love each time. I'm genuinely interested to see if I can form feelings for Sophie, and if she can form genuine feelings for me."
Jamie, 38, Engineer, WA: "Attention just comes to me. I don't go looking for much. I get a lot of attention from the females."
Apollo, 24, Magician, QLD: "I was stoked when I found out Sophie was the Bachelorette. She seems like this fun, outgoing, down-to-earth, beautiful woman."
Chad, 37, Contract services manager, VIC: "I'm hoping to find a connection and fall in love. I can't wait to marry the girl I fall in love with."
Jarrod, 31, Vineyard manager, VIC: "I broke off my engagement, which was heartbreaking. I was so happy, but so miserable at the same time."
Jefferson, 30, Events Manager, NSW: "My ex-wife broke my heart. We were married for five years, and it ended two years ago."
Harry, 24, Restaurant manager, SA: "Sophie is a legend. I'm a bit younger than her, but if it doesn't bother her, then it doesn't bother me."
Brett, 27, Personal trainer, WA: "I had a girlfriend for four to five years. She was the best thing to happen to me thus far."

In this booklet, Danny Hyde opens up to the reader the meaning, graciousness, richness, and power of the biblical doctrine of justification by faith. With simple language, apt illustrations, and clear application, the author pastorally instructs us, opens our minds, and warms our hearts as we come to a better understanding of this vital Reformation doctrine. As you learn the divine truth of justification, you will experience joy, and your joy in Christ will lead you to rejoice in Christ.


"What is true abundance? Is it just piles of cash and free time? Does it mean you have all the things you want? How come some people are very rich, but greedy? They don't seem to be coming from abundance or even seem very nice. What is it to be truly abundant?
True abundance is the ability, the ability, to know that you are fine. Everything is okay. You love your life. You have more than enough to live your desired lifestyle. You know and are certain that if it all disappeared, and you lost everything, you would create more.
You are comfortable with your ability to create. You know that you can attract whatever you need. You are the source of your abundance and power. You are confident in you ability to create. You know you have this ability. Everything will be fine. It always is.
You are confident in yourself so you experience life as magical every moment. You understand life is not about money but about the experience you have. It is all about love and joy. True abundance is about loving relationships, friends and helping each other.
You can be happy. You don't have money worries because you're bigger than any obstacle . You triumph over circumstances. You can create. You can manifest. If you lost everything you know that you created before and you'll do it again. All is good! ALL is good!
You CAN experience true abundance. YOU can begin to feel more abundant even now, if you don't already. Stop focusing on lack. Focus on what you do have. Focus on feeling fulfilled. Concentrate on those things that are true wealth; family, friends, and time to enjoy.
Abundance isn't about what you have, it is about who you are. It is your ability to celebrate and enjoy no matter what is going on. It is the conviction that, 'at the worst' you are, and will be, fine. How do you get there? Practice gratitude! Allow yourself to feel blessed.
Count your blessings daily. Don't focus on outer circumstances. Focus on your ability to create. Manifest small things daily. Practice manifesting and creating. Set intentions and make them happen. You don't wait or wish when you create, you take charge.
I'll share more next time. Meanwhile, do little things, that allow you to feel better; feel marvelous. Treat yourself! Enjoy small things. Savor family and friends and free time. Have a meal. Decide what you want because you want it, not because of the cost.

Panasonic working on Post Focus technology
Panasonic says a firmware update will be available for the GX8, also announced today
Designed to prevent 'out-of-focus misshots', the Post Focus technology combines Panasonic's Depth From Defocus AF technology with 4K video to allow the camera user to focus on as many as 50 different areas.
'In addition, this function can be used for creative purposes in different types of photography such as landscape or portrait,' said Panasonic in a statement.
'Several different impressions can be taken out of one picture by changing the focus within the image…
'While reviewing the images the photographer simply touches the area where they want to set focus and, no matter where the original focus area was, a new image with the newly selected focus area will be produced as a separate photo.'
Panasonic has confirmed that the Post Focus technology will be available via a firmware update for the Lumix DMC-GX8 and DMC-FZ300 later this year or in early 2016.
Panasonic has not yet decided whether the firmware update will be available for other models.
The number of selectable focus different areas has yet to be confirmed.

Q: fetch not recognized as an async function When I write this in the console in the devtools:
const response = await fetch("http://localhost:5001/api/products", {

});
const products = await response.json();

I am able to successfully get the data.
But when I run my node project with the same code in a JS file I get the following error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word

A: await can't be used outside of an async function, unless you are on Node 14.3.0+ and using ESM. Wrap the code in a block like (async () => { /* your code here /* })(); and you should be good to go.

Now what? Is there a solution? Are we always going to be one step ahead of ourselves?
This is amazing. Not just because of the facts and figures but because WE have lived during this era. Remember the days before the internet? Remember when research REQUIRED going to the library? Our grandchildren and great- grandchildren will see us as the ancients, antiquated. AMAZING!

Q: How to categorise data structures in a class c++ I want to be able to categorise data structures of a class.
Essentially what im asking is, is there a functionality similar to namespaces but for classes?
e.g
class Person{
public:
//attributes

//capabilities

};

A: Maybe use structs or class to organize data? Like this:
class Person{
  public:
  struct attr
  {

  } attributes;

  struct cap
  {

  } capabilities;

};

Just remember that member functions of struct attr does not know of the object capabilities (Only indirectly, when given a pointer/reference to capabilities). And in the same way, struct cap cannot directly access attributes

I had hoped to be in Arkansas by the middle of Day 4, but by one in the afternoon, I was just getting into Vicksburg. It didn't help things that Washington Street, the main road from the interstate into downtown, was closed for construction, causing me to make a long and confusing detour. When I finally made it to Vicksburg's downtown and waterfront, I decided to take just a quick look around, before moving on.
… for a look at the Horizon Casino steamboat.
Railroad tracks also run along the riverfront, and there's a great relic from the old rail days here as well: the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad Station.
Back uphill in town, I passed one place where, if I had more time, I would have liked to have stopped. The Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum celebrates an idea that started in Vicksburg: bottled Coca-Cola. Around the turn of the 20th century, the Biedenharns ran a candy company in Vicksburg, and also sold Coke at their soda fountain. The problem was, people had to come to them to enjoy a Coca-Cola — and there were plenty of rural areas where there were no soda fountains. The Biedenharns became the first to bottle Coke, then sell it throughout the area.
Admission to the Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum is a reasonable $3 for adults, $2 for children. You can check on current prices and hours here.
It's also hard to miss The Vicksburg, a historic hotel that now also offers apartments and event space.
Leaving Vicksburg, get back on Interstate 20 and head west, across the Mississippi River into Louisiana.

EU reacts to Netanyahu's plans to annex Jordan Valley, calls any settlement 'illegal'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday his plans to annex the Jordan Valley in the West Bank as an election promise if he wins next time.
"Today, I announce my intention, after the establishment of a new government, to apply Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and the northern Dead Sea," Netanyahu said in a speech broadcast live on Israeli TV channels.
The prime minister said, however, that the move would be done after publication of a long-awaited US peace plan and consultations with US President Donald Trump.
Around 65,000 Palestinians and 11,000 Israeli settlers live in the Jordan Valley, according to the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem. The main Palestinian city is Jericho, with around 28 villages and smaller Bedouin communities.
For their part, the EU said they did not recognise any changes made to the pre-1967 borders and called any settlement plans "illegal under international law".

I began playing guitar professionally as a teenager, working in wedding bands and bar bands in central PA. In the mid 1970s I moved to New England and over the next 20 years performed throughout NH, VT, ME and MA in bar bands, as a solo blues & ragtime guitarist, and as accompanist to various folk musicians. I also lived in Hawaii for a time, where I was a member of the Ebb Tides, a popular variety band based in Waikiki. Subsequently I moved back to PA, to the Lehigh Valley, where I've worked as a free-lance jazz and rock guitarist playing in theater orchestras, doing session work, and private and club gigs as a solo performer or in small ensembles, including performances at the Berks Jazz Festival, the Philadelphia Country Music Festival, the Anglesea Blues Festival, the Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Festival, the Sellersville Theater, World Cafe Live, and the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire.
My formal education includes studying music theory and composition with Dr. Richard Bellak and classical guitar with John Marsh Bigelow at Franconia College. I later majored in composition at the Berklee College of Music, and also took classes in Baroque performance practice at the Longy School of Music. I've been active as an independent music teacher for over 25 years, offering lessons on guitar, electric bass and other stringed instruments, and instruction in music theory and composition.

Downton Abbey: sold to over 100 territories
Submitted by admin on March 31, 2011 - 1:19pm
The Hollywood Reporter has posted an article about the success of Downton Abbey. Read in full on the website.
NBC Universal said Thursday that its Edwardian country house drama Downton Abbey has been licensed to over 100 international territories since its global premiere in the U.K. last September, making it one of the most successful U.K. drama exports in recent years. The award-winning hit pulled in almost 13 million viewers for the season finale on ITV1 and has sold to Germany, Japan, Australia, The Netherlands and markets in the Middle East.
Season two, which is currently in production, promises a further eight episodes of the one-hour costume drama scripted by Gosford Park writer Julian Fellowes, adding new characters played by Ian Glen and Maria Doyle Kennedy to the ensemble drama that features, among others, Maggie Smith, Elizabeth McGovern and Hugh Bonneville.

NASA's probe soaring near sun reveals surprises about solar wind
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Numerous data from NASA's close encounters with the sun are giving scientists a unique insight into the solar wind and space weather more generally as the spacecraft passes through the outermost part of the atmosphere. of the star.
Researchers described on Wednesday the first published findings of Parker Solar Probe, a spacecraft launched in 2018 to travel closer to the sun than any other man-made object. The findings, offering new insights into how the sun generates space weather, are reshaping astronomers' understanding of the violent solar wind that could damage satellites and electronics on Earth.
"We certainly expected to see new phenomena and new processes when we got close to the sun – and we certainly did," Nicola Fox, director of the US Space Agency's heliophysics division, told reporters. "Some of the information we found pretty much confirmed what we expected, but some is totally unexpected."
The earth is approximately 93 million miles from the sun. The spacecraft ventured less than 24 million kilometers from the sun to gather the data used in studies published in the journal Nature. The spacecraft will eventually travel about 6 million kilometers from the sun's surface, seven times closer than any previous spacecraft.
The spacecraft experienced extreme heat as it flew through the outermost part of the sun's atmosphere, called the solar corona, which gives rise to the solar wind – the charged, energized, hot particles that flow out of the sun and fill the solar system.
The oscillations in the velocity of these charged particles radiating out of the solar corona are thought to dissipate gradually, as do the waves seen after plucking a disappearing guitar string in the middle.
One of the "really big surprises" of the spacecraft, according to one of the researchers, was the detection of sudden and abrupt spikes in solar wind speed that were so violent that the magnetic field reverses, a phenomenon called "reversal." "
"We are discovering these powerful and discreet waves that fall over the spacecraft, like rogue waves in the ocean," said Justin Kasper, principal investigator whose team at the University of Michigan has built a solar wind detection instrument on the Parker spacecraft. "They carry a huge amount of energy."
"This will dramatically change our theories about how the crown and solar wind are being heated," Kasper added.

The IC had a few horse cars. They were converted baggage cars. Here is the diagram sheet showing the moveable stalls and troughs:

The Santa Fe also had quite a number of horse cars.
They were long with 3 doors on each side plus a large door in one end.
I don't know the interior arrangement, but I remember seeing them frequently in service on their transcontinental trains when I was young, probably not in horse service.

The Seaboard Airline had specially built HW cars for transporting race horses between New York and Florida. As I remember, they were built in the mid 1920s, and were about 75 ft. long, and had several doors on each side for loading/unloading of the horses. They had stalls for the horses, along with watering and feeding systems, and space for handlers to ride. I think they were still in service when SAL and ACL merged into SCL.

Jack, it's one of eleven from the original 50 express reefers that had their bunks removed and reclassified as express and dairy cars. I'm pretty sure the one in the first photo is from the same group of cars.
These 50 cars were built at the Milwaukee Shops in 1911. The equipment diagram shows "assigned for fish loading" on the side of the car.

My Sanborn maps shown a spur off the New Orleans Terminal ( SR sub.). The New Orleans Fairgrounds were only 3-4 blocks from this spur. Haven't been able to find any pics. Also this was a seasonal operation.
The Orleans-Kenner electric line also had a spur going to a track located along the Mississippi River in Jefferson Parish from New Orleans. Was told it handled horses and ran specials from N.O. to the tracks. Later the horse track became a subdivision know has Azalea Gardens. The oval track became the main road. Can clearly be seen in aerial pics even today.

Horses today must be different. Most all of the horse trailers / transport trucks I pass on the highway have horses looking out the window seemingly enjoying the scenery. But I agree that horse cars had small windows, if any, and they were mounted high, probably to avoid the possibility of a horse managing to break the glass and getting injured.

Milk cows had some unique needs that other cows did not – milking. If you did not regularly milk a milk cow she would dry up. Therefore milk cows had to be stopped and unloaded every 10-12 hours for milking. Different railroads handled this differently. This car may have been partitioned with stalls to further protect the cows. The Santa Fe at one time had 10 50' box cars equipped with stalls to handle animals such as polo ponies that did not require express shipment but better than normal shipment. Also horses did not like to see the world passing by, so most horse cars did not have many windows to keep the horses calm.

The doors are missing. The car appears to have passenger car trucks.
The photo is from an article on Carnation Farms, which states:
"The foundation herd cultivated by Carnation became breeding stock the world over. This meant that across the world, dairy farmers were able to get more milk from fewer cows leading to more stable food security, reduced labor needs (fewer cows mean fewer four-times-per-day milkings), and decreased footprint and environmental impact per gallon of milk. The legacy Carnation cows can be seen in dairy bloodlines across the world, to this day."

If you're a photographer, or just someone who really appreciates the beauty of nature in its untouched state, you'll find yourself instinctively reaching for your camera. If you're a skier, on the other hand, you'll be diving for your toques and mittens and itching to cut a slash on the pure white downhill slopes. The appeal of Tunnel Mountain is absolutely irresistible.
Buffalo Mountain Lodge has considerable appeal too, as you'll discover if you visit during your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Canada. Just walking into the lodge gives you the sensation of being in an authentic, old-style mountain home. It's an impression that continues in your room, with a cosy stone fireplace, wooden beamed ceilings, rustic-type furnishings – simple but very comfortable – and those wonderful mountain views.

I Love Farming Chapter 108: Revisiting a foreign land 1
Revisiting a foreign land 1
Cui Qichao once thought that if he had a chance, go back to those planes he had visited and take a look. Now it's finally possible, Lin Lin promises to schedule him and send him and Xiaobai to visit the place again.
The first one to arrive was c.
Cui Qichao first came to his home here. Xiaobai had never met his biological parents, but knew that he liked the parents in this virtual plane so he bought gifts on purpose.
"Xiaojiang, come, sit." Mother Cui groaned and talked to Jiang Tanwei, and Father Cui greeted indifferently with a disapproval and helpless look.
Mother Cui immediately said, "My son hasn't been back for so long. What is your attitude?"
Father Cui could only curtly say, "… you sit here and don't move, I'll get you a bag of oranges."
"Come on, Dad." Cui Qichao took a look. The balcony and vegetable gardens he had set up here were still very well maintained, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, picking up some tomatoes grown at home by the way of oranges, washing them and eating.
"By the way, what about your cat?" Father Cui asked dryly.
Cui Qichao and Jiang Tan glanced at each other in a tacit understanding, and then Jiang Tanwei said: "I'm still there, but I've made a boyfriend and are at his boyfriend's house."
"Oh." Father Cui thought for a while, as if he didn't remember whether the "little white" was male or female. He sighed and said, "That's a good cat."
Jiang Tanwei immediately said, "Thank you."
Father Cui is baffled. He said that the cat, what kind of boy is this … wait, does it mean that when the son was still training the cat in the early days, it had something to do with this boy? Isn't it because of the relationship between them?
Suddenly, Father Cui said, "Know your son Moruo, and vice versa." He really didn't agree with the relationship between the son and the man, but there was no way to get the son.
Cui Qichao didn't know what he was talking about, only nodded blankly, "You're right."
After staying at home for a few days, of course, they went to C University, and they drove to C University by themselves. At this time, Cui Qichao's uncle was no longer the principal of the school, so Cui Qichao did not contact him.
The time of their arrival was about five years before Cui Qichao left. During this time, the c-cafeteria was operating very adultly, and even let everyone mention the cafeteria dishes. It was no longer a dark dish full of brains. The new chili, which has the c-brand name, has also become a famous brand.
Cui Qichao and Jiang Tanwei walked across the campus. He pointed to Jiang Tanwei from time to time. Here, Xiaobai herds over ducks, and there, Xiaobai is trained.
They even met the little brother that year, the one raised by the aunt, but it didn't know Xiaobai for a long time. They only lived in school all year round and their relatives were personal, so they came up and sniffed them.
Jiang Tan slightly crouched down and touched it, "Laughing until the end is the winner!"
"What are you talking about?" Cui Qichao asked.
"Nothing." Jiang Tanwei immediately stood up casually, "Let's go on."
They took a look at the vegetable field. The vegetable looked good, and they even put up a sign with some names.
Cui Qichao took a closer look and speculated that it might be that the school is now using vegetable fields to allow students to take labor classes, and also allocated a small piece to the teacher, which can be planted at will.
The two sat casually at the edge of the field. At this time, a student came out of the cornfield and sat down to take a rest. He looked at them and said boringly, "Are you here to visit?"
Cui Qichao: "… be it."
This student wipes sweat, it's no surprise. Nowadays, there are people in C University who often come to visit, but even their own cafeteria and vegetable garden, even he himself, when he reported to the university, he liked the food close to home.
Speaking of this, Cui Qichao asked, "How is your cafeteria food now?"
The student proudly said, "There is no better canteen than us. After the expansion of the new campus, two new canteens have been opened. Both are delicious and rich. And there are always people who want to buy high-priced dishes in our school field. We will not let it, but only for the cafeteria. And our ginseng in the Baicao Garden … "
The student looked at Cui Qichao and felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember it. He didn't think about it. Instead, he asked, "Do you know why our school's food is so delicious?"
Cui Qichao: "………"
Jiang Tan almost didn't laugh, and turned around, "I know."
The student was about to pour it out, and then returned home to me, dejected, "Oh. Then you know the peppers developed by our school …"
Jiang Tanwei: "I know, I know!"
Students are speechless.
At this time, one came over, and looked at them, and immediately expressed a surprised expression, "General Choi ?!"
Cui Qichao also stood up, "Master Zhang."
This is the chef of the previous cafeteria, of course, Cui Qichao is recognized.
The student next to him flashed, and suddenly remembered why he looked familiar to him, and he was the founder of the Shennong company who contracted the school cafeteria and forced vegetables.
No wonder he said "I know"! !!
Under the guidance of Master Zhang, Cui Qichao went to the cafeteria again, and told the old staff some old stories. When he was about to eat, he stood on the second floor and looked down.
I saw that there were students waiting in line early. A security guard stood at the door and watched everyone vigilantly. It was the best time for adolescents, and the staff at the window inside were also waiting.
As the hour came, the security guards opened the door, and the students rushed in, struggling to hold back but couldn't hide the anxious pace, trotting towards the window.
The clever c university students will think about which dishes to eat early, where to line up the most cost-effective, and go straight to their goals.
A little more calm than before, but the essence in the bones has not changed. Cui Qichao concluded in his heart.
The cafeteria employees were a little curious about the young man next to Cui Qichao. They looked intimate and didn't know what the relationship was. When Cui Qichao was about to eat, someone asked, "General Cui, this is yours …?"
Cui Qichao thought, "Family."
Jiang Tan smiled implicitly, "It's a boyfriend."
The employee took a breath, and for a while, he wondered that Mr. Cui had to leave the other side, and immediately showed a normal appearance, "Oh, well, then, congratulations!"
Cui Qi Chaoren is still out of money, or everyone's boss. Besides, they work in universities and have a lot of open minds.
"Thank you, thank you." Jiang Tanwei shook hands with everyone. He also remembered the names of every old employee. He just heard Cui Qichao shouted before, so everyone felt that Cui's target is also talent.
Cui Qichao came to visit C, everyone who knows knows, the old alumni's circle of friends began to spread the video of Cui Qichao
"Remember the man who changed your university cafeteria, campus environment, and tasting ability? He is back!"
The students who were studying here at that time have already set foot in society. After researching multiple small videos, a puzzle that has troubled them for many years is finally solved. Why is the beauty of Cui Mei in the cafeteria all year round? Accept invitations from girls.
"Stunned, I just verified that the cafeteria aunt, the mixed-race handsome man holding President Cui is really his object."
"I rely on the fact that President Cui does not like women. At that time, everyone was dedicated to Bai Blind."
"It seems that Mr. Cui's boyfriend is not old. Mr. Cui's boyfriend was still a child! Mr. Cui was still so angry!"
"Did I hear it wrong? In the video, Mr. Cui called his boyfriend Xiaobai? Do you remember that the cat that Mr. Cui raised was called Xiaobai …"
"It scared me, what kind of fun is President Cui!"
"A sad thing that year, we had a group, all of whom were secretly in love with President Cui. After so many years, the entire group had no boyfriend, but President Cui had …_ (: 3∠) _ 2k novel reading network

Becoming a doctor is a great feat for anyone. Imagine the feeling of accomplishment if all three of your children became doctors. Nigerian immigrants and parents of Gloria, Victor and Blessing Oyeniyi know that success as the brother-sister trio each earned the title of doctor.
Dr. Gloria Oyeniyi and Dr. Blessing Oyeniyi graduated from John P. and Kathrine G. McGovern Medical School at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Dr. Victor Oyeniyi earned a pharmacy doctorate from Texas Southern University. Born in Nigeria, the three siblings and their parents moved to Texas in 1995. All of the children developed an interest and passion for healthcare and dreamed of becoming doctors.
The Oyeniyis as parents only hoped for their children to become medical or professional doctors. "They (their parents) wanted and they aspired for us to be doctors, whether it was medical or professional. They just wanted us to have the title, and be the best at anything we chose to be," Victor told FOX 26 Houston.
After moving to the United States, the parents of the children had to start over their higher education. "We were on welfare for a while, coming back in the U.S and starting back up. My mom was a janitor at her first job when she started back over, and they both went back and got their college degrees and their master's degrees," Gloria said.
Honored @jmartintv chose to use his platform to highlight our families story and the POSITIVE things happening in Houston and this country in hopes of inspiring others. Great guy! Despite my older sister being top of her class and having one of the highest entrance exams in her class, the private school in which my parents had applied for back in our home country of Nigeria unfortunately wanted bribes and additional things. Disheartened, my parents left all they knew and relocated us to Texas with old family friends of ours in hopes we wouldn't be limited by those barriers they themselves encountered. My father and mother left their professional careers of being a pilot of over 19 years and a bank manager, respectively, only to begin afresh in the U.S. re-enrolling in college as freshmen and working odd jobs ultimately getting their SECOND bachelors and masters degrees all to sustain us all because they had higher aspirations for us. Though things are now better In Nigeria, this is more a testament of their will and sacrifice than it is about our achievements here. We hope we've made them proud and hope we can inspire others to do the same here and afar, not just in medicine but in sports, business, entertainment and wherever excellence might lie. Thanks to my inlaws for having us and thanks to 📸 in video by: @fredagho #godsplan #positivelyhouston @texassouthern

In an Instagram post, shared more details about his parents sacrifices, writing: "My father and mother left their professional careers of being a pilot of over 19 years and a bank manager, respectively, only to begin afresh in the U.S. re-enrolling in college as freshmen and working odd jobs ultimately getting their SECOND bachelors and master's degrees all to sustain us all because they had higher aspirations for us. Though things are now better in Nigeria, this is more a testament of their will and sacrifice than it is about our achievements here."
The siblings used the story of their parents to help motivate them through the difficult tasks of becoming a doctor. Their bond with each other also served as a push during tough times. "We're pretty close, so we would just tell each other, 'Listen, we're doing this. We can accomplish this,'" said Gloria.

One day, a man had left his house to run some errands. But when he returned he noticed something unusual on his bed. He found that a mother squirrel had made a nest of twigs, dried pines and branches on his bed for her two newborn squirrels.
He contacted an animal rescue team to try and help the baby squirrels. Wildlife rehabilitators Christina and Michael were called out to the scene. And it was quite unusual compared to other callouts they've had.
They worked hard to try and reunite their babies with their mother. However, it would appear that the mother was busy fetching materials for the nest and she had no intention of taking her babies with her.
Eventually, the mother squirrel stopped coming back to the house altogether.
Sadly, one of the baby squirrels didn't make it. Then the news got worse, after an assessment by a local wildlife vet, it was determined that the remaining baby would not be able to survive on her own either.
That's when Christina and Michael both decided to step in and adopt the baby squirrel. They named her Thumbelina because she was so tiny and they wanted to do all they could to help keep this adorable little creature alive and well.
Little Thumbelina is an Eastern Grey Squirrel, who was born in New York City, on a frigid March morning. Her Momma's nest was destroyed due to nearby construction, and in a desperate attempt to keep her family safe, she crawled into a 10th story window and gave birth two tiny babies on a stranger's bed, while he was away at work.
Because of the unusual birthing season and the fact she had lost her little sister, Thumbelina had to grow up by herself with no other interaction from squirrels.
The way Thumbelina developed was different from most squirrels. Most babies don't care about milk as they'd already tasted real food but this squirrel loved drinking milk from a bottle. Instead of running and climbing, she would walk around and sit comfortably with Michael and Christina.
Despite their best efforts, Thumbelina had no interest in being reintroduced to other squirrels.
I don't know what she thinks she is, but it's definitely not a squirrel.
However, Thumbelina is now a very happy squirrel who loves hanging out with her human parents. Strangely, she hates the outdoors, cold weather, other squirrels and the vacuum cleaner. But she does love peas and avocados.
We're just glad she's found a family to love and care for her after her difficult start in life.
I wish I had a little Thumbelina of my very own. She's utterly adorable!

Ego and The Ids is a musical project more than a band. It is a collaboration of musicians who wish to create something beautiful and huge with sound while exploiting music's ability to make people feel something they can relate to. It is about evoking mental images of life, death and everything in between, always taking the time to show the grandeur of the human experience.
This band views music as an alchemical process, a formulation of experience and musical influences. Simply put, their music is orchestral, melodic, and experimental.

Crystal Skulls: Legend, Vodka & Indiana Jones
By Benjamin Radford published 15 February 13
Crystal skulls are wonders to behold, but their only power may be to fascinate. (Image credit: Victor Habbick Shutterstock)
Crystal skulls are among the strangest and most mysterious artifacts in the world. They have been displayed in the finest museums; they have inspired books, films, legends and liquor. According to some they even have supernatural power.
Skulls are, of course, made of minerals; bone is mostly calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Skulls are at once both mundane and macabre, symbolic reminders of both healing medicine and death. Of all the materials that a skull might be made of, crystal is perhaps the most intriguing. Crystals are central to New Age beliefs, and New Agers have constructed an intricate belief system around them involving auras, reincarnation, chakras, healing, vibrations, and so on.
There are many skulls in the world carved out of quartz, of varying sizes and designs (New Age shops around the world are well-stocked), though not all of them are steeped in myth and romance. There are only a handful of the largest, life-size skulls in existence, and they have inspired awe for generations. They are said to be hundreds or thousands of years old, and possibly of Mayan, Aztec, or even Atlantean origin. The skulls are indeed a sight to behold. Beyond the artistry of carved crystal, many believe the skulls have special abilities, such as aiding psychic abilities, healing the sick, and even having power over death.
Crystal skulls have captured the imagination of countless New Agers, curiosity seekers, and others; screenwriter George Lucas was so intrigued by crystal skulls he wrote a script about them: the 2008 film "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls." A Canadian company called Crystal Head Vodka (co-founded by actor and paranormal buff Dan Aykroyd) launched in 2008, bottling its crystal-filtered libation in novelty glass skulls.
The Skull of Doom
The most famous crystal skull is the so-called Skull of Doom, a human-like skull composed of two pieces and made from clear crystal quartz. It is just over five inches high, nearly five inches wide and nearly eight inches long. It weighs 11 pounds 7 ounces. The book "Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World" called it "the weirdest gem in the world ... one of a handful of strange man-made objects that have challenged the ingenuity of the world's scientists." The skull was rumored to have the power to kill: When a priest concentrated on the powerful relic, the skull could kill anyone at the priest's command.
It was supposedly found in the 1920s at a lost Mayan ruin in the Central American country of Belize by an explorer named F.A. Mitchell-Hedges. His adopted daughter, Anna Mitchell-Hedges, discovered the skull while exploring the ruins on her 17th birthday. Though locals clearly revered the skull as an ancient and powerful artifact, the pair returned to England with it and Anna regularly exhibited the skull after her father's death in 1959. Strange powers and characteristics were attributed to the skull; some said they could see the future when staring at it for long hours by candlelight; others that the skull defied the laws of physics by always maintaining a constant temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, regardless of whether it was refrigerated or heated. This and other skulls were also said to not have any evidence of being carved by human hands or modern machines.
The skull was revered for decades, until research revealed that neither Anna nor her father found the skull in Belize or anywhere else. Instead, Mr. Mitchell-Hedges bought the skull from an antiquities collector in 1933. Anna made up the Indiana Jones-worthy adventure story about finding it in the jungle ruins of a lost city. The supposed strange abilities of the skull — including foretelling the future and keeping a constant temperature — were merely myths that had arisen over the decades.
The Skull of Doom hoax not only fooled New Agers for years, but also, apparently, an archaeologist in Belize who last year sued filmmakers behind "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," claiming that the story is based upon a national treasure looted nearly a century ago. It was argued that if the crystal skull had been illegally removed from Belize and used as part of a famous movie, the country should be entitled to a cut of the profits and the return of the stolen skull. Of course, since that never actually happened, the lawsuit went nowhere and was widely seen as a publicity stunt.

Science and the skulls
Supernatural or not, the crystal skulls are rare and impressive pieces of art. But where did they come from? Who made them, and how? Doubts about the skulls' supposed ancient origins circulated for decades. In 2005, an anthropologist at the Smithsonian examined several skulls with high-power microscopes and found that the cuts into the crystal unmistakably showed evidence of modern, not ancient, carving techniques. Not only were the cuts and grooves done with modern lapidary wheels, but the skulls themselves were polished with modern machinery.
It turned out that the skulls are not ancient, nor from the Maya or Aztec societies (nor, for that matter, Atlantis). Most of them were made by skilled European craftsmen in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Though the crystal skulls apparently have no supernatural abilities — healing, death, prophecy, or otherwise — they do have one undeniable, proven quality: the power to fascinate.
