Das abgegangene Schloss Malching befand sich in der niederbayerischen gleichnamigen Gemeinde im Landkreis Passau. Das teilweise von einem Wassergraben umgebene Schloss lag in unmittelbarer Nähe der Wehrkirche Malching, die mit Mauer und Turm eine zugehörige Befestigungsanlage bildete. Die Anlage wird als Bodendenkmal unter der Aktennummer D-2-7645-0157 im Bayernatlas als "untertägige mittelalterliche und frühneuzeitliche Befunde im Bereich des ehem. Schlosses von Malching" geführt.

Geschichte
1380 wurde hier ein Sitz, genannt das Kollmannslehen, erwähnt. Dieser wurde von Jakob den Kolb vor dem Berg an Ulrich Fronhammer, Pfleger zu Erneck, verkauft. Bei dem Besitz handelte es sich um ein Lehen des Domkapitels Freising.

Dieser erste Sitz dürfte noch längere Zeit weiterbestanden zu haben. 1500 wird ein Christoph Graßlreuter zu Malching genannt und des Christoffen Grasslreuter gelassene Witib daselbs. 1502 erscheint der Sitz bei Margaratha Grasslreuter, die diesen ihrem Vater überließ. Da ihre Mutter eine geborene Karpfheimer war, muss der Sitz in der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts im Besitz der Karpfheimer gewesen sein. Margaretha war zum zweiten Mal mit dem Freisinger Amtmann Gilg Gaßner verheiratet. 1521 verkaufen sie und ihr Mann eine Gilt an die Brüder Baumgartner zu Frauenstein. 1537 ist der Sitz ganz an die Baumgartners gekommen und wird in der Folge nicht mehr genannt. 1615 wird aber das Gassnergut an Martin und Christine Widmann vertauscht. 1674 hat es dann der Sattler Martin Halbenstein inne. 1692 wird es zu Erbrecht dem Bartholomäus Taubenböck, Bauer auf dem Sattlergut zu Malching, vergeben.

Der Käufer Ulrich Fronhammer erbaute sich hingegen neben der Kirche von Malching 1415 ein eigenes Schlösschen, d. h. einen zweiten Sitz zu Malching. Seit 1448 ist Malching eine Hofmark. In den nächsten Jahrhunderten sind die Fronhammer lückenlos auf Malching nachweisbar; erwähnt werden Pankraz der Fronheimer (1438), Gilg und Christoph die Fronhamer (1468), Lucas Fronhamer (1500, 1503), Hans Fronhamer (ca. 1542, 1560), Ludwig Fronhamer (1596). Der letzte der Fronhamer war Achatzius Fronhamer. Dieser verkaufte das Schloss an die B(P)aumgartner zu  Ering, und zwar das Schloss samt Wassergraben, Holz, Wiesen, Weingärten, Bräuhaus, grundbar dem Domkapitel Freysing an Wolf Paumgarten zu Ering, der mit einer Elisabeth, einer Schwester des Fronhamers verheiratet war. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg wurde auch das Schloss Malching verwüstet. Danach wurde der baufällige Herrensitz wieder instand gesetzt.

Am 12. März 1734 bat das Domkapitel den Kurfürst Carl Albrecht, die Hofmark an die Erben der Baumgartner zu verkaufen, diesem Ansinnen wurde bereits am 30. März 1734 vom Landesherren zugestimmt.

Das Schloss Malching wurde von den Baumgartnern 1750 abgebrochen und das anfallende Material für den Ausbau von Schloss Ering verwendet und z. T. auch zum Pfarrhofneubau. 1932 wurde als letzter Rest auch das Malchinger Totengräberhäusl niedergelegt. Diese Hausstatt gehörte einst zum Fronhamerschen Schloss Malching. Als Abschluss der Schloss- und Friedhofbefestigung hatte das Totengräberhaus in der ganzen Westwand keine Fenster, sondern vier halbkreisförmige Gucklöcher. Noch 1793 nannten sich die Baumgartner zu Ering und auch Herren von Malching. Die Grundherrschaft der Paumgartner dauerte in Malching bis zum Revolutionsjahr 1848.

Aussehen von Schloss Malching
Nach dem Stich von Michael Wening von 1721 bestand das Schloss aus einem geschlossenen Gevierthof. Die ursprünglich hohe Ringmauer, die den Friedhof umgab, war mit Schlüsselscharten und einem Wehrgang versehen. Um das Schloss lief ein breiter Graben, der mit Wasser gefüllt war. Die Kirchhofbefestigung stand mit dem Schloss in Verbindung, so dass sich ein gemeinsam ummauerter Bereich ergab. Beim Ortsausgang des Friedhofs stand ein Torturm, auch an der Westseite war das Tor mit einem Turm gesichert. Aus den Schlossresten ist u. a. das heutige Pfarrhaus errichtet worden.

Die heute straßenseitige Mauer um die Kirche lässt die frühere Befestigungsanlage noch erahnen.

Q: How to serialize a C# DateTime as a Javascript Date using Web API In MVC, you can do something like this:
public ActionResult Index()
{
    return Json(new List<DateTime> { DateTime.Parse("19/02/2017") },
                JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

And the returned value is ["\/Date(1487458800000)\/"], which is a Javascript Date object.
However, using WebAPI like this:
public IEnumerable<DateTime> Get()
{
    return new List<DateTime> { DateTime.Parse("19/02/2017") };
}

The returned value is <dateTime>2017-02-19T00:00:00</dateTime>
Is there any way that I can serialize a DateTime as a Javascript Date object using WebApi?

A: If you change your Accept header on your request to application/json you get:
["2017-06-09T08:14:13.7729697-03:00"]

Try with a tool like Postman.
In angular, you can do something like:
var config = { headers:  {
        'Accept': 'application/json',
    }
};

$http.get("/api/values", config);

A: You can use that format with JavaScript though:
var myDate = new Date("2017-02-19T00:00:00");

Home » U-Turns
U-Turns
I never know what I am going to receive in my e-mail regarding this column. Recently it was a tongue in cheek request to save a marriage by settling the question about U-turns between husband and wife. Neither one of them realized that there are really very few places in British Columbia where a driver can make a U-turn legally.
Section 168 MVA regulates making a U-Turn, also known as a reverse turn.
Lined Roadway
First of all, if there is any type of line painted down the center of the highway one must not make a U-turn over it. It doesn't matter if it is double solid, single solid, solid and broken or a single broken line. Only the complete absence of a line allows the maneuver, subject to other limitations.
Section 155 MVA regulates crossing lines painted on the road and in general only allows crossing them to pass another vehicle or in some cases to avoid and obstruction.
Limited Visibility
Next, a U-turn must not be made where visibility is limited or it would be unsafe to do so. This would include places like on a curve or at the approach to a hillcrest.
Business Districts
U-turns are forbidden in a business district unless the turn is made at an intersection without traffic lights. However, the general prohibition of a U-turn at any intersection with traffic lights doesn't apply if there is a sign posted by the municipality permitting the action.
"business district" means the territory contiguous to a portion of a highway having a length of 200 m along which there are buildings used for business, industrial or public purposes occupying
(a) at least 100 m of frontage on one side of that portion, or
(b) at least 100 m collectively on both sides of that portion,
and includes that portion of the highway;
Finally, we've mentioned municipalities, and they are allowed to regulate U-turns within their boundaries through a bylaw. These bylaws can range from what has been outlined here to a total prohibition. This just adds to the difficulty because bylaws change from municipality to municipality.
Offences & Penalties
Unsafe U-Turn 168 (a) $121 2
Prohibited U-Turn 168 (b) (iii) $121 2
U-Turn at Intersection 168 (b) (iv) $167 2
U-Turn in Business District 168 (b) (v) $121 2
Provincial Driving Manual
Page 52 of Learn to Drive Smart says:
If you find you are going in the wrong direction, you may be tempted to make a U-turn. U-turns are often risky.
When you are deciding whether to make a U-turn, think about some alternatives, like driving around the block or continuing on to a side road where you can turn more safely.
Where Can You Make a U-Turn?
Everywhere else, as long as it is safe!
U-Turn Collision
MarkS (not verified) - 2013/09/30 - 15:25
Thanks for posting this up, I'm in a situation with ICBC having determined the driver of my car was 50% at fault in a collision and I'm trying to argue againt it. These links are the relevant sections I think, that suggest that a vehicle driving down a narrow street in a business district such as downtown Vancouver cannot legally do a u-turn to get into a car park on the other side of the road.
We were reversing a couple of meters to allow the car in front of us to reverse into a carpark, when another vehicle travelling in the opposite direction tried to do a quick u-turn to get into the same parking spot, colliding with the rear of our vehicle at 90 degrees to the traffic direction.
U-turn rules vary considerably by province
carguy - 2021/02/28 - 15:23
I didn't realize BC rules were so restrictive. Alberta allows U-turns at unsignalized intersections (but not at alleys) and outside of urban municipalities as long as you don't need to cross a double solid line to do so.
Ontario is far more flexible. U-turns can be made pretty much anywhere they are not prohibited, as long as you have at least 150 metres of visibility when you are near a hill, curve or a bridge or you are at least 30 metres from a railway crossing (s. 143 Highway Traffic Act). The lines on the pavement don't affect this; to the best of my knowledge centre lines on Ontario roadways are primarily advisory, e.g. it is not unlawful to pass on a double-solid - only if there are signs prohibiting passing.
I learned to drive in the early 1980s, and in our high school driver education class we were taught how to do U-turns on residential streets - they were called K-turns if the street was too narrow and you had to back up to complete the manuevre. It never seemed to create a problem for anyone.
This is clearly an area where the law could be relaxed without compromising safety.
Change of Direction
A good Driving School will teach about the various methods of changing direction. Three rights and a left, or three lefts and a right, can achieve it without reversing (always a good idea). If the roadway is of sufficient width, or at the end of a cul-de-sac, drivers can also accomplish their goal without reversing. Meanwhile, for a 2-point turn, if using a driveway, it's always preferable to reverse into one on the right side of the road before then making a left turn. And yet, what's the commonest thing we see? Some fool turning left into a driveway, and then reversing out of it back onto the roadway.
Here in BC, applicants for a Class 5 license (typically Class 7 drivers or experienced drivers from a jurisdiction we don't have a reciprocal agreement with) won't be asked for a parallel park - but they will be asked to change direction mid-block, in a situation that demands a 3-point turn using the road width. It might become a 5-point or 7-point turn if they're in a longer wheelbase car. It allows the Driver Examiner to assess vehicle control skills, observation skills, signalling appropriately, etc. But, they can't do that in every municipality - such as the City of Vancouver, which has its own bylaw prohibiting a U-turn.
I recently learned that the changing direction manuever has been replaced with a hill parking, and/or reversing, maneuver on road tests. Basically because of the bylaw problem in some areas that makes a 3-point turn impracticable. Then again, try to find a hill in Richmond, eh?
I believe that this will apply for Class 4 (both Restricted & Unrestricted) and Class 5 applicants.
Can a bylaw over-rule the Motor Vehicle Act & Regs?
Finally, we've mentioned municipalities, and they are allowed to regulate U-turns within their boundaries through a bylaw.
I'll tell you something that gave me pause for thought, recently. Check out the intersection of King George Hwy & 64th Ave in Surrey.
Now how is it that, although this is a traffic light controlled intersection, U-turns are clearly permitted at certain phases of the traffic light?
Yes, When the MVA Gives Permission
DriveSmartBC - 2021/12/27 - 22:23
Reverse turn
168 Except as provided by the bylaws of a municipality or the laws of a treaty first nation, the Nisg̱a'a Nation or a Nisg̱a'a Village, a driver must not turn a vehicle so as to proceed in the opposite direction ...
U-Turn Bylaw enforcement
jjnoway - 2022/03/06 - 21:12
Does a municipality have an obligation to post signage regarding such bylaws, as they do for parking and tow-away?
Posting Signs
In a case like this, signs are usually used to prohibit something that is usually allowed or vice versa. So other than publishing the bylaw, I don't think so.
Certainly from an ICBC licencing standpoint, (and at least one now retired RCMP Corporal) we would consider applying section 155 to U-turns an overuse of the section .
We always limited prohibitions against U-turns to section 168.
Do you have any experience of case law on this topic?
Judgement Example
Yes, as a matter of fact there is case law on this:
2013BCSC332 Ferguson v Yang
[39] Here, the defendant failed to observe the rules regulating traffic. In particular, he breached s. 155(1)(c) of the Act by performing a u-turn over the solid yellow line on 8th Street. The exception set out in s. 156 of the Act is inapplicable because the defendant was not in the process of entering or leaving the street. The defendant was also in violation of s. 168 of the Act by performing a u-turn (referred to the in Act as a "reverse turn") in a "business district". I am satisfied on the evidence before me that there was an excess of 100 meters of frontage of buildings used for public purposes on the roadway in question, thereby meeting the definition of "business district" in the Act.

Let me begin by saying thanks to everyone who has helped in the past. Possibly my expertise at some time will be of help when you need it.
I have been working on a video on http://Martech-Inc.biz homepage recently. WMV is not my forte so I would like to find out if anyone here knows how I may create a .wmv window to appear on the page, with a specialized video in regards to beginning and ending of yacht refinishing which is what Martech Inc is known for. What I am asking is a streaming type of video set up using soholaunch.
As of right now, the video doesn't seem to be available to most persons due to pop-up blockers being used. I go to the sites address and can not view the video myself so I know that others will have this problem as well.
Still others are capable of viewing this video.
I would like to set this video up in soho so that anyone going to the site may be able to view the video, simply by clicking the play button.
I have a pop-up blocker on my computer and I was able to see you video. Looks great! I'd love to use one myself on my site.


Superfoods: Can These Foods Really Make You Live Longer?
Superfoods: Can These Foods...Superfoods: Can These Foods Really Make You Live Longer?
With a new year comes new resolutions, a lot of which tend to revolve around health and fitness.
Part of becoming healthier is eating a healthy diet, something that can include the consumption of "superfoods". While there is no official scientific definition of what makes a food super, the dictionary describes it as a 'nutrient-rich food considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being'.
Certain foods that are rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as foods that are thought to prevent or delay cell damage, have been dubbed as superfoods. Some people also believe that superfoods help them to live longer, as the nutrient and vitamin compounds within them have a range of positive effects on health.
A healthy diet with an assortment of superfoods could have a range of positive benefits, so take a look at some of the biggest contenders for superfood status below to learn more about them.
Do Superfoods Really Improve Your Health?
While it's yet to be proven that superfoods are miracle ingredients that prevent illness and prolong life, they do appear to have positive effects on your health. Some of the possible health benefits of superfoods are improved brain function, better heart health and anti-inflammatory properties.
They also tend to contain a lot of antioxidants. These components can be vitamins and minerals, for example, and help to protect our cells against damage from free radicals.
However, even though some antioxidants protect healthy cells, we still don't understand completely how they affect our health, so things such as supplements may be unnecessary.
This superfood may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it could have benefits to your health. According to a recent study, mixing broccoli with probiotics may help to prevent and treat colon cancer. Although not a definitive study, the results did find that this special combination led to the reduction of 75% of colorectal tumours in mice and destroyed 95% of colorectal cancer cells grown in the laboratory.
On its own, broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable rich in vitamin C and folate, as well as vitamins A, K, calcium, fibre and beta-carotene.
Recipe Idea: How about a garlic, chilli and broccoli stir-fry?
Moringa oleifera is a nutritional plant considered to have anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as essential amino acids, powerful antioxidants and a lot of iron, calcium and vitamin C. This plant grows in the sub-Himalayan areas of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Several parts of moringa can be used, such as the roots, leaves, seeds and sap. Moringa can be consumed in several different forms, such as powder and leaf.
For many, this plant can have positive effects on skin and hair, cardiovascular health, eye health, immunity and bone health, just to mention a few.
Recipe Idea: Try adding moringa powder to your smoothie.
Coconut oil has a high content of saturated fat at 86% (which is higher than butter at 51%), so people may believe it to be unhealthy. However, a recent trial performed with 94 volunteers aged 50-75, agreed to consume different types of fat daily for a month. They were split into three different groups, one consuming 50g of coconut oil, one consuming 50g of butter and the other one olive oil.
The group that ingested the coconut oil showed an increase of 15% of HDL - sometimes dubbed as your 'good cholesterol' - and no increase of LDL - sometimes referred to as 'bad cholesterol'.
This study may indicate that coconut oil could contribute to a reduced risk in heart disease and strokes, but due to the short timescale of the study and small sample size, the jury is still out on whether coconut oil can actually make you live longer.
Recipe Idea: There are many coconut oil recipes you can try, such as these vegan banana, blueberry and pecan pancakes.
Matcha possibly has a positive impact people's on health, and some nutritionists even claim that the antioxidants within have anti-cancer properties, although little research has been carried out to confirm this.
Matcha is a more concentrated version of green tea, as it's made from the entire leaf. This type of tea also contains a high number of catechins, a class of powerful antioxidants that can, allegedly, boost your health and eliminate toxins from your body.
Recipe Idea: You can drink a simple matcha tea or make an iced matcha latte, a chocolate chip matcha ice pop, and so much more.
A superfood staple, blueberries, are also a fantastic source of vitamin K and C, as well as fibre, manganese and other antioxidants, like anthocyanins.
A small 12-week study saw some evidence that blueberries could improve brain function in older people. Participants consumed 30ml of concentrated blueberry juice every day, which appeared to improve blood flow to the brain and some cognitive functions (such as memory).
Recipe Idea: Blueberry muffins could ease a sweet tooth, or why not add them to porridge or yoghurt to start your day?
Can Superfoods Allow You to Live Longer?
Living a healthy lifestyle with plenty of exercise and, of course, a balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables could help you live a longer, healthier life.
However, the small number of studies about the effect of superfoods in isolation means that there's still a lot of research to be done on a number of these health foods before there can be a definitive verdict about whether they can help you live longer.
With that said, eating plenty of fruit and veg is good for you, so opting for a healthy diet can be the key to a long life.

Q: I can't see the ListView What is the reason for the empty ListView? Actually, I have filled the database with dates, but the ListView is empty, especially the activity is empty. The activity is empty when the ListView is create with the arrayAdapter, but the app chrashes when it is create with the the cursor Adapter.
I wrote an app which uses a ListView to list a part of my SQLite dates.
But I can't see the ListView. The app starts without an error, but the Activity is empty. I can't see my error. I hope, someone else can see the error.

A:  android:layout_height="wrap_content"

You  need match parent
And if you're using a database, try to use CursorAdapter instead of ArrayAdapter and ensure that dataSource.getAllGruppen() actually returns something
Also, you have two instances of HundeschuleMemoDataSource dataSource. Remove the declaration from the field since the Context is not yet initialized
private HundeschuleMemoDataSource dataSource;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_gruppeauslesen);

    dataSource = new  HundeschuleMemoDataSource(this);

    initializeHundeschuleKundenListView();

And if you did use a CursorAdapter, here's your corrected method
public Cursor getAllGruppen() {

   String selectQuery = "SELECT " +
        HundeschuleMemoDBHelper.COLUMN_ID + " , " +
        HundeschuleMemoDBHelper.COLUMN_GNAME + " , " +
        HundeschuleMemoDBHelper.COLUMN_KName + " , " +

In January, California Common Cause began questioning the connections between the Drakes Bay Oyster Company and the Koch Brothers, the Oklahoma oil company barons who finance pro-business causes, including nationwide efforts to privatize public park lands.
This week, the oyster company decided that connection was a PR problem in the San Francisco Bay area community. With much uproar, Drakes Bay dumped Cause of Action, the pro-public land development firm with strong links to the Koch Brothers, that had provided pro bono legal services to the company.
This move came after PBS Newshour publicized the connection between the Drakes Bay Oyster Company and the law firm's right-wing backing. The forceful PBS report also emphasized the contract guiding the National Park Service's decision to close the pollution-filled oystering operation when its lease expired. The decision ensured that Americans would maintain control of this property bought by taxpayers 40 years ago for protection as the first marine wilderness on the West Coast.
After the PBS report aired, both Cause of Action and Drake's Bay sent scathing letters to PBS blasting their news report. Cause of Action went further by filing a Freedom of Information Act request for all of the news organization's raw tapes produced during their filming -- an unthinkable attack on the well-respected PBS.
Meanwhile, the oyster company was relishing the favorable coverage from Fox News.
Not surprisingly, the public is seeing through the company's fictitious claims. For example, the oyster company isn't historic -- it was formed in 2005 after buying the lease's remaining seven years from the previous owner, fully aware of the 2012 lease expiration. The lease couldn't be renewed, which is why the company waged an attack campaign on the Park Service.
Additionally, the company's operations are defined as wholly unsustainable; it plants millions of non-native Japanese oysters and Manila clams, and repeatedly committed "intentional and knowing" State Coastal Act violations, including polluting the estuary with plastic debris and operating motorboats in sensitive harbor seal habitat. Californians are realizing that the company's Big Oil-agenda is an attack on the public interest.
Those following this saga understand that firing one law firm cannot shield the company from the evidence before the public that reveals an agenda to commercialize national parks and wilderness areas. You only need to look at the company's legal supporters, its industry lobbyists, and its champions in Congress.
Joining forces with the company is the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), which is funded by the Koch Brothers and believes that our nation's protected public lands should be open to exploitation by commercial and private interests.
Supporters of PLF include members of Congress that rank at the bottom of the environmental scorecard produced by the non-partisan League of Conservation Voters. They include Senator David Vitter (R-LA) and Congressman Doc Hastings (R-WA), who have a 4 percent and 3 percent rating respectively.
Senator Vitter is author of the Republican energy bill, called the Energy Production and Project Delivery Act of 2013, which would expedite permitting for the Keystone XL pipeline, open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for gas and oil development, allow for offshore drilling along the California coast and the rest of the country. Tucked at the very end of a 51-page energy bill is a provision which would provide the oyster company with a new operating permit despite its lease expiring months ago.
Congressman Hastings is heading up a clearly political effort, seeking reams of documents regarding the Interior Secretary's decision with a specific focus on the scientific analysis. In his request Rep. Hastings claims Secretary Salazar's decision "was not based on scientific data" but instead matters of long-established contractual terms and park policy.
Meanwhile, the company and its discredited scientist have taken to Fox News and talk radio to amplify their talking points on allegations of "fraud" -- allegations disproved by the Inspector General.
For the Drakes Bay Oyster Company, it is too little and too late to repair its tarnished image. The public now knows it is working lockstep with pro-corporate lawyers and legislators on an agenda to open up the voters' beloved national parks and wilderness areas to industry and commercialization.
California Common Cause remains concerned about this precedent-setting land-grab that subverts the public interest for special interests. We will continue to monitor and shed light on this issue so our public lands are protected for future generations.

Top 10 Recently Discovered Creepy Crawlies
by KMcG
Nature, or as I call it, the real world, is full of surprises. It keeps giving and taking as it pleases. Often it gives us beauty that can stun us to silence or move us to tears. Other times it reminds us of its multi-faceted essence and lets its darkness and horror shine through. This list is homage to nature's darker side. Here are 10 recently discovered creatures that are as interesting as they are nightmare compelling. Sweet dreams.
Top 10 Animals You Thought Were Extinct But Aren't
10 The Bright Orange Bat (Myotis nimbaensis)
Discovered 2018 in the Nimba Mountains, New Guinea, West Africa. It's honestly more cute than creepy! It has bright orange fur and is likely already critically endangered due to human activity. As of right now, there is nothing published on its diet, behaviors, or habits. More research is needed for the newest, ultimate Halloween idol. Can you really find something more ideal?
They were discovered inhabiting adits-old mining tunnels. Most of these tunnels are in danger of collapse. So Bat Conservation International and SMFG (a local mining company) are working to construct reinforced tunnels in the area and preserve this 'sky island' for the orange bat and other bat species under threat from human expansion.
9 Pine Rockland Trapdoor Spider (Ummidia richmond)
New 'Pine Rockland Trapdoor Spider' Discovered And Can Live For Decades
Discovered 2012 outside of the Miami Zoo, Miami, Florida USA. This terrifying spider is related to the tarantula, meaning it is also venomous. It burrows and builds a trap door from which it ambushes its prey. Are any spiders not scary? Thankfully it mainly eats mainly insects and small invertebrates. And while it can liquify their insides, it's not very dangerous to humans.
Luckily they are smaller than their tarantula cousins. The males are roughly the size of a quarter and it is thought that the females are 2 to 3 times larger. It is also assumed that females can live up to 2 decades while the males live for about 7 years. The females kill the males after mating just like the lovely Black Widow. The males are believed to burrow for about 7 years before they come out to mate the first time. Can you blame them? They're just doing what they can to prolong their lifespans!
8 Giant centipede (Scolopendra alcyona)
A Fearsome or Friendly Giant? ft. Scolopendra Centipede
Discovered in 2021 in the Ruyku Islands, an archipelago near Japan and Taiwan. This is another giant venomous centipede. What makes this one more daunting is the amphibious nature of the creature; it is equally adept on land and in the water. Let's hope they keep a shrimp diet and stay local.
It is only the 3rd amphibious species thus far discovered. It is also one of the largest species in its region at about about 20 cm long and 2 cm thick. It has also been 143 years since the last centipede was discovered in the area. And this one dove into the water to escape researchers. So it's a venomous arthropod that predates equally well on land and in water. Nope! Won't be visiting the Ruyku Archipelago in this life.
7 King of the Cave (Cryptops spelorex)
Cryptops speleorex – Cienpies Amarillo
Discovered in 2020 in Movile Cave, Romania. The King is another centipede and terror fuel just because of the toxic environment from which it hails. The pitch black cave has very little air or oxygen and a high sulfur content among other toxic gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia and sounds quite hellish. Despite being only about 2 inches long, this many legged crawler is toxic just like its environment. They thrive among chemosynthetic bacteria, some spiders, arthropods, earthworms, leeches, and snails. Maybe we just seal up that cave and let them all be.
It sounds like they are all mutants from another planet with a different atmosphere, maybe Venus. It elicits images of bites melting flesh and an afflicted person having radiation poisoning. Anything surviving, thriving, and evolving in such a harsh environment has got to be born to kill, right?
6 Ringed Caecilian (Siphonops annulatas)
Ringed Caecilian in the Yasuni 🐸🐍🌈🌎
While the animal itself was discovered almost 2 centuries ago, the recent discovery (2020) of it having oral venomous glands re-upped this creature's fear factor. It's an amphibian that looks the love child of a Black Mamba and an Earthworm with no discernible face. It just became the perfect image for every potential sci-fi creature in the future.
What makes them even more unnerving is their start in life. All of the babies simultaneously feast on the mother's out layer of skin with 44 spoon-shaped teeth each. Then they rest for a few days until Mom grows another outer layer of skin for her offspring to feast upon like little, vampiric cannibals. Yup! Just about the creepiest creatures out there so far.
5 Pig-Snouted Brittle Sea Star (Ophiojura exbodi)
Brittle Star Fish with 8 Arms
Discovered in a barrel in 2015, it was actually collected in 2011 in Banc Durand near New Caledonia in the South Pacific. Despite its comical sounding name, this thing is rather disturbing looking with 8 long, spindly arms that look like thousands of pig snouts snapped together. Its underside is covered with long jaws that are filled with bristly, thorny teeth. So it's pretty much pure nightmare fuel… a nest of teeth with creepy arms.
It's also been hiding deep in the ocean at almost 200 feet for a long time as a living fossil from the Jurassic period. More proof that things from dinosaur times are still hanging out. Maybe Chupacabra are velociraptors…
4 Suzhen's Krait (Bangarus suzhenae)
Krait Bungarus | Shorts | Biólogo Henrique
Discovered in 2001, but just named, it was found in Southwestern China and Northern Myanmar. It was just recently distinguished from other Kraits whom it mimicked with coloration. But this Krait is longer with a distinct number of black and white bands. So it was anonymous for a while and its very venomous and deadly. It also enters houses in search of food. It's active at night and has wandered into beds, biting when it is startled. Just like in the movies…
Its name was derived from a Chinese goddess, Bai Su Zhen. in a famous Chinese folktale, Legend of White Snake. She was ironically the goddess of healing. Perhaps it was scientific sarcasm?
3 Achlinus Zugorum
Ular Baru Berwarna Unik! Achalinus Zugorum dari Vietnam – TomoNews
This snake, discovered in 2020 in Ha Giang Province, Vietnam, hasn't been given a fun surname yet. These snakes live mainly underground and have poor eyesight. They are either iridescent or dark in color appearing to morph from blue to green. It brings to mind the shiny, jewel-like scales depicted on Chinese dragons. They are commonly considered odd-scaled snakes because of unusual shape and small size of the scales and the skin exposed between them.
They've been difficult to study due to their subterranean nature. But they inspire the imagination to wonder to what else is hiding down there in the deep, dark ground. Ignorance really can be bliss.
2 Salazar's Pit Viper (Timeresus salazar)
Discovered in 2019 in the Western lowlands of Arunachal Pradesh, India. Yes, its name is borrowed from Salazar Slytherin of Harry Potter fame. They are pit vipers, so they are venomous. Luckily they stick to a diet of small mammals, lizards, amphibians, rodents, and birds. Perhaps they can teach us all Parseltongue and we can befriend all snakes.
These snakes are sexually dichromatic which means the males and females differ in color. While they are all green, only the males have the reddish orange stripe on the head and a yellow-orange stripe on the the body. This is brighter and more pronounced when they are juveniles.
1 Mountain Fer-de-lance (Bothrops Monsignifier)
Discovered in 2020 in the Zongo Valley, Bolivia. This is a new Fer-de-lance discovered in the jungled mountains. As if the ones we already know about aren't enough. Like their relatives, they have excellent camouflages and hang out on the forest floor. To sense their prey, they use heat sensing pits on their heads. They are extremely venomous, so watch your step and avoid walking through piled leaves unless you have a snake sense.
It is actually rather rare to discover new vipers. In the Americas, the average viper discovery is 1-2 per decade. So as scary as it is, it will hopefully be the last one we discover for a bit.
So those are 10 recent discoveries of critters or about critters that we didn't know until now. The deeper we dig, the further we dive, and the longer we trek into the wilderness, the more we will discover. And even though it seems like we will discover scarier and deadlier things, we still appear to be the bigger threat through rapid expansion and constant consumption. A common thread in most of these newly found creatures is that they are probably already in decline as we crept in without knowing they were already there. So perhaps the creepiest beast out there walks on 2 legs, recklessly consumes, fears the unknown as much as it is attracted to it, and prefers conquering to understanding and peacefully co-existing.

White House releases FY 2020 budget proposal
Today, the White House released its $4.7 trillion budget proposal (compared to its $4.4 trillion proposal last year) for the upcoming 2020 fiscal year (FY). The new proposal, viewable here, was released one month later than is customary, because of the government shutdown. More detail is expected later this month. Nonetheless, it provides a framework of the priorities of the executive branch.
Release of the administration's budget proposal kicks off the months-long appropriations process. The budget serves as an indication of the president's budget priorities.
The budget proposal would increase defense spending from $716 billion to $750 billion for FY2020 while cutting non-defense spending from $597 billion to $543 billion, and it seeks to slash $845 billion from Medicare and $1.5 trillion from Medicaid over 10 years. In addition, the proposal would raise the federal budget deficit to $1.1 trillion in FY2020 and FY2021 (from an estimated $897 billion in FY2019), even after proposing to eliminate a dozen important federal agencies and programs, including the Economic Development Administration, the Community Development Block Grant program, National Heritage Areas, the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program. It also proposes making permanent the tax cuts for individuals implemented during the last Congress and seeks $8.6 billion to fund new border walls.
Major provisions affecting NALC members in the Trump administration budget for FY 2020 are outlined below.
"Reform the Postal Service." This item appears to refer to postal reform efforts from last Congress. This should be confirmed when more details of the budget are released in the next few weeks. The budget cites $4.1 billion in postal-related cuts for FY2020, and up to $98.2 billion in postal-related cuts over a 10-year period. The White House's FY2019 budget request called for $44.49 billion in vaguely defined cuts and revenue changes over a decade, with proposed reductions in the frequency of delivery and the scaling back of door delivery.
Instituting General Services Administration (GSA) proposals. This reference appears to refer to the proposal by the Trump administration's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) last summer, which called for reforming and restructuring the federal government, including privatizing the Postal Service. The budget cites a $1.6 billion increase in postal-related costs for FY2020, and a $21.2 billion increase in postal-related costs over a 10-year period.
Federal Employees Retirement & Health Benefits
Increase FERS contributions. For active federal and postal employees covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), the budget calls for gradually equalizing employee and agency payroll contributions for pension benefits. This would raise the pension contributions of letter carriers by 1 percent of pay per year for up to six years, resulting in a take-home pay cut of up to $3,700 annually after six years for active letter carriers. The exact impact would depend on when FERS employees were hired.
High-5 average. The proposal calls for reducing Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and FERS pension benefits for new retirees by basing annuities on workers' highest average yearly salary over five years (high-5) instead of over the highest three years (high-3).
Eliminate annuity supplement. It also would eliminate the annuity supplement that covers the gap for employees who retire under FERS before they qualify for Social Security benefits at age 62.
Slash COLAs. For all retirees, the administration's budget calls for eliminating or reducing cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs). For current and future annuitants under FERS (which covers any employee hired after 1984), the budget would eliminate basic annuity COLAs entirely. For those under CSRS, COLAs would be reduced by 0.5 percent each year. These changes would devastate the finances of retirees who rely on annual COLAs to keep up with the cost of living.
Reduce the TSP's G Fund interest rate. This proposal includes a change to the government bond fund ("G" fund), the largest and most popular investment vehicle available in the Thrift Savings Plan. Millions of active and retired G Fund investors would receive a reduced rate of return. The new rate would be tied to the interest rate on 90-day Treasury bills instead of an average of medium- and long-term Treasury bond rates. This would reduce the rate from 2.33 percent (in the 12 months ending in January) to 1.55 percent -- which translates into a $1.4 billion annual loss for TSP participants. The cost of this proposal to participants would rise dramatically if longer-term interest rates continue to rise.
Higher premiums for workers. For both active and retired federal employees, the budget proposes modifying the federal government's contribution to the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) so that federal employees pay more into the program. Although details for how the new calculations are not specified, previous proposals called on federal employees to pay an additional seven percent, cutting significantly into their monthly take-home pay. A seven-percentage point cost shift (similar to what was proposed last year) for a $20,000-per-year family health plan would raise retiree contributions by about $1,400 annually. FEHBP contribution levels for active letter carriers are set by the terms of the collective-bargaining agreement with USPS. While the proposed budget wouldn't immediately affect these contribution percentages for active letter carriers, it likely would have an effect on future negotiations on this issue.
Budget cut. Much like the White House's FY2019 proposal, the Department of Labor would see a $1.2 billion, or 10 percent, budget cut under the administration's proposal through the elimination of programs it deems "duplicative, unnecessary, unproven, or ineffective."
Training cuts. The budget once again slashes for training workers who lose their jobs as a result of lay-offs or natural disasters. Other job training funds for Native Americans and seasonal migrant workers are now completely defunded.
Union monitoring. Also as in FY2019, one of the few increases in the DOL budget would go to the office that monitors union activities. It states that: "The Budget would…support more audits and investigations to uncover flawed officer elections, fraud, and embezzlement."
"Thankfully for federal employees and the American people, this budget is dead on arrival in the House of Representatives," Rep. Gerald E. Connolly (D-VA), said. "Instead of recycling these tired and radical attacks on federal workers, the president should move expeditiously to implement the 1.9 percent pay increase Congress sent to his desk almost a month ago."
While White House budget proposals typically are 'non-starters' on Capitol Hill, lawmakers do discuss, reference and debate these proposals as various House, Senate and caucus proposals are being formulated.
This makes it important for letter carriers to urge their representatives in Washington to reject attacks on the federal workforce as well as on the Postal Service and its networks.
NALC will continue to update letter carriers as additional budget details are released and as the House and Senate begin their budget considerations.


I-10 will be closed from Stanton Street to Mesa Street, with traffic reopening at 6 a.m. Monday.
Interstate 10 in Downtown El Paso will be closed in both directions from 3 a.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday so crews can repair a damaged water line.
I-10 will be closed from Stanton Street to Mesa Street.
The 24-inch steel water line runs through a utility bridge and was damaged in July when a semitrailer crashed on the highway, El Paso Water said in a news release.
The utility bridge was damaged July 19 when the driver of a semitrailer reached for a bottle of water and lost control of his vehicle. The semitrailer drifted off the roadway, went up an embankment, crashed and then caught fire.
The semitrailer's driver was injured but was able to walk away from his burning rig.
Water service will not be interrupted, the utility said.
During the closure, drivers traveling east on I-10 will exit Downtown and re-enter on Wyoming Avenue. Westbound traffic will exit on Mesa and re-enter on Yandell Drive.
Wyoming Avenue will be closed and Yandell will have reduced lanes for one week beginning Jan. 29 while the new water line is connected to the existing system.
Commuters should follow the detour signs.


Netflix has decided to raise its monthly fees for American subscribers by anywhere from 13 to 18 percent as the world's top streaming service continues to spend big on original content programming. While most readers will be interested in U.S. rates, the increase actually applies to all countries that Netflix bills in U.S. greenbacks so the rate hike will also affect Latin America in certain countries.
Wall Street reacted quickly and showed its support for Netflix's (NASDAQ:NFLX) price increase as shares soared by as much as 7 percent during a day that saw markets trade largely sideways with most major technology companies either flat or up 1 percent at the most.
We reported towards the end of last November that Morgan Stanley had named Netflix a stock to watch, and since we ran this piece prices are up nearly 15 percent.
Despite the price hike, Netflix remains an affordable entertainment option as all three of the company's plans will only increase by $1-2. The standard plan which is $10.99, will get an increase to $12.99, the company's premium plan that allows for streaming on four devices will move to $15.99 from $13.99, and finally, the lowest basic tier will rise from $7.99 to $8.99.
Its no wonder why stock prices jumped at the news today. Netflix closed 2016 with over $3 billion in debt. By the end of 2017, that figure had risen to just shy of $7 billion. We don't know how much total debt the firm has now after closing 2018, but we can say that Netflix went on the record to say that they were spending at least $8-10 billion last year both on original content and upgrading its service.
Daniel Morgan is a senior manager at Synovus Trust Co, and he expects Netflix to be sitting around $8.3 billion in total debt, with cash flow in 2019 of minus $3 billion.
It's not a good trend when a company is both adding debt and staring down the eventual rollout of new competitors – unified streaming services from both Disney (NYSE:DIS) and AT&T (NYSE:T) are all but a certainty at this point.
Among other 2019 Netflix projects, a cult classic anime will be revived: A new Ghost in the Shell series is set to come to the U.S. including original series creators!
With today's news of an average of 15 percent price hike, this could translate fairly reliably to a sizable gain for the firm from its 137 million customers and we believe this went a long way towards easing investor's fears of Netflix's over-leveraged debt position. Netflix will likely book around $12 billion in 2018 and this increase could be good for close to $1.5 billion added to the top line.
Its worth noting that Netflix has never rolled out a price increase of 18 percent before, marking this the largest ever increase to date for the streaming service. Some analysts agree that Netflix has the leverage to do this without much concern.
"It highlights that Netflix has pricing power and even after the increase it remains a very cheap entertainment alternative," said Pivotal Research Group analyst Jeff Wlodarczak.
Netflix is scheduled to report its 4th quarter financial results this Thursday.

Titanic survivor's light-up cane to be sold at auction
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Titanic survivor's walking stick, with an electric light she used to signal for help from a lifeboat, is one of thousands of maritime items that will be up for auction in Rhode Island.
Guernsey's auction house is holding the auction at the International Yacht Restoration School in Newport on July 19 and 20.
Guernsey's President Arlan Ettinger described Ella White's cane as one of the most extraordinary items to have survived the sinking.
Brad Williams is a descendent of White. The Connecticut man kept the walking stick with his cane collection.
Williams says he wants it to go to a home where it will be better displayed, and use the proceeds for his children.
The pre-auction estimate is $300,000 to $500,000, though Ettinger says it's hard to predict what it might fetch.
