Celeriac is a great tasting vegetable, delicious roasted as chips, turned into soup, or as a flavourful ingredient for casseroles and risottos.
It has a taste reminiscent of celery – it is actually a variety of celery – with the sweetness of parsnips. Similar to celery, celeriac is a low calorie vegetable, high in fibre, and with a strong flavour.
Leave on plot and harvest when needed. Consider earthing up to cover crowns.
A big advantage of growing celeriac, rather than celery, is that it is easier to grow. Celeriac is a hardy vegetable when it is mature, and can be left on the vegetable patch through autumn and into winter.
The most difficult part of growing celeriac is the early stage of germination, and growing on the seedlings. Celeriac originates from the mediterranean region, and needs a temperature of around 18 oC to germinate.
My solution is to sow the seed in shallow drills in a seed tray in my polytunnel. A plastic greenhouse in a warm, sunny position, or a windowsill are good alternatives.
The seeds need to be planted relatively shallow, a few millimetres below the soil surface. I created shallow drills in a seed tray. The ideal time to plant is February through April.
Even though the seed tray was protected by my polytunnel, I also covered the seed tray with plastic film (pricked with small holes) to help retain moisture and heat. If the seedlings dry out, or experience the shock of cold temperatures in late spring, this may lead them to bolt. Like courgettes and squash, they need protection from cold weather until all risk of frost has passed.
It is best to plant them out as soon as it is safe to do so. The longer the growing season, the more time the crowns have to swell to a large size. The crowns should be level with the surface of the soil and not buried.
Celeriac has relative few pests, but can be eaten by slugs and snails.
Whilst the plants are growing, ensure the plants are watered well and that they never dry out. Celeriac enjoys a rich soil. When the crowns (actually a swollen part of the stem) start to mature, it is suggested to remove the sideways growing leaves to focus the plants energy on the crown. Leaves growing directly upwards should be left on the plant.
Compared to other vegetables, there are relatively few varieties of celeriac.
There are differences in time to reach maturity, and how knobbly the bulbs are.


I discovered that charity is a right in law school. I remember the day very clearly when we were reading about laws that created government benefits for citizens deemed to be in need, benefits for "poor people." Those benefits were not called "rights," they were called "entitlements." I gained this insight in 1970, and I should not have been surprised. After all, during the decade just before, President Johnson had introduced a package of legislation called "the Great Society," Congress passed it, and it was implemented despite a war going on. During the Sixties, I had never quite understood that the Great Society package was really a package of artificial "rights." The use of the word "entitlement" in law school, to describe the benefit and the process by which the beneficiary would receive his benefits, indeed to enforce his right to an entitlement, clarified the matter for me.
Was the choice of the word "entitlement" rather than "right" a deliberate strategy of the lawmakers to confuse the matter? Maybe not. Rights, after all, are for every citizen. "Entitlements," on the other hand, are for the few and they are financed not by the promptings of charity but by the compulsion of taxation. Government imposes on certain citizens the obligation to pay for the entitlements of other citizens. These certain citizens are those to whom the market provides those benefits by means of transactions, involving production, buying, and selling, that is, through commerce. Or they are people who otherwise do not need the benefits or who do not even want them and perhaps find them abhorrent (such as the case of government-provided abortion).
I had been raised on the idea that charity was a moral or a religious obligation, that the obligation was to God not to the recipient, that it was to be offered out of gratitude to the Father, and it was to be smartly done, because it was always better to teach a man to fish rather than to give him a fish and because men, being who they are, will abuse a gift and a blind giver.
The word "entitlement" clarified for me what government had set out to do in the Great Society. It was interesting and it was disturbing.


There are ofc others, perhaps better fitting possibilities, i am not english speaker myself, so take these only as rough examples.
The whole point in doing this would be to make future communication not only on these boards easier. Instead of writing for example Vasari Rebels you write Renegades and people will know, what are you talking about. It will simply prevent confusion, if you forget to specify, which race are talking about. Right now, as people basically talk about TEC only, its bit irrelevant, but in future it might become quite handy.
I actually think that this is a great idea and encourage Stardock to heed the words of Timmaigh and change the names of the Vasari and Advent sub factions. Personally, I think that "Apostates" is a great name, fitting the Advent like a glove. I am surprised that you are not an English speaker, Timmaigh, using great words like that. I have never even heard that word before, but it sounds really awesome.
I wish that I could give you a suggestion for an Advent Loyalist name, but I just took the CAHSEE today at school and my brainpower has been completely spent.
I think that this is a valuable idea and would make Rebellion a better and cooler game.
Seconded. If each race has its own distinct play style and flavor, I would love for the factions to be categorized accordingly.
Along this same vein, I've another suggestion. For the TEC, it seems a bit odd to have the "Nithiem Rebels" be a Loyalist faction.
Could the devs see about re-naming some of the random faction names to be more fitting to their alignment?
Vasari I have no idea. It depends on whether you want to focus on their old empire and go with something like Imperialist, or their current nomadic ways.
Simply Vasari Imperialists would be fine for their loyalists and I like the sound of Advent Fundamentalists. Or maybe one of the Advent factions could be Advent Zealots? That could be fitting with either. But I do love Apostates. Great word.
I actually like "Imperialists" as a name for one of the Vasari sub-factions. I think that it would go better with the Rebels, though, because the Vasari Loyalists are supposed to destroy planets, not imperialize them.
I also like both Zealots and Fundamentalists for the Advent, but I think that Fundamentalists would go better with the Loyalists because they are keeping to the Advent fundamentals, whereas the Zealots could go for both sub-factions, and so I think it is a little less awesome. I also hear the word "zealots" a lot more than the word "fundamentalists", so I think that it is a bit too overused to be a sub-faction name.
I agree that "Imperialist" would probably go better with the rebels. They're probably setting up their second empire in this system, only using the other races to prevent themselves from getting diced.
Ah! How about the "Itinerants"? Means the same thing as Nomad, but looks more original.
Edit: Itinerant Vs Imperialist also sounds cool IMO.
Well the reason "Apostates" is so great for the Rebels is because they're pretty much a textbook definition of Apostates.
"(apostates) Members who seriously oppose or ignore cardinal teachings of the Church, publicly or privately."
The Rebels have basically become a splinter "religion" in direct opposition to the Loyalist teaching that their "destiny" is that they destroy the TEC and conquer the Universe, assimilating or destroying everything in their path.
I do hope StarClad read this thread, I think this (subtle) change would make the faction split a bit more interesting.
And speaking of which, how about changing the default acronym that the TEC Rebels get on their Capital Ships/Titans? "TDN" stood for "Trader Defense Network", which fits perfectly with the Loyalists, but not so much with the new militant "xenophobic lynch mob" that is the Rebels.
Sounds good to me. Sins has been pretty careful with its faction based vocabulary, certainly fits well.
Fundamentalists, while probably very fitting, is bit too long word in my opinion.
And not sure about the Imperialists designation, neither for Loyalist nor Rebel faction of Vasari. Rebels now seem to be quite cooperative and "friendly", that is not a behavior you would expect from someone called Imperialist. While Loyalist are not building any empire for sure, they actually leaving their planets. I would stick with my original "Extremist" label for them. Or Radicals.
I think the "Renegades" for Vasari Rebels is a bit confusing (your average western culture guy may easily find the differences between "Renegade" and "Radical" rather subtle - the two factions should clearly oppose each other, like Orthodox Advent and Advent Apostates).
The name for the Vasari Rebel subfaction should convey the fact, that they want to cooperate with other races. I'm not native speaker, so I have trouble finding suitable word myself.
The reason I and some others named the Vas Loyals 'Imperialists' is because the Vasari Loyalists are still loyal to the old Vasari Empire, its ideals (kill and oppress) and the ideals that developed when they fled the old empire (run like f^%k while gathering as much as you can). The Vasari Rebels are going all hippy on them and therefore even if they are building more of a structural empire, it is harder for us (and themselves) to picture the Rebels as the true descendants of the Old Vasari Empire.
I think that Advent Orthodox is the best name for the Advent loyalists.
For the Vasari loyalists, the name Imperialists does work. Or, the loyalists could be called the Traditionalists because they follow the path that the Vasari Empire has always followed.
Vasari Radicals could work for the Vasari rebels because they take a different approach to their predecessors but the Vasari rebels are not more violent so it doesn't completely fit. Instead, the name Vasari Collaborators could work the best because the Vasari rebels seek closer ties to the other factions. It also more clearly shows their goals and standpoint.
I was thinking that Advent Disciples would work well for the loyalist subfaction, I at least prefer that to fundamentalists, which sounds so.. uhh, non-threatening. The other reason is that I think Disciple/Apostate counter each other well.
Disciples sound quite good to me.
How about Advent Purists / Advent Apostates?
Otherwise, I like Orthodox. It has a slight Dune feel to it.
Purists wouldn't work given that the Advent Rebels are supposedly the faction with the "purified" and uncorrupted unity.
I rather like Orthodox as well.
What is plural to Orthodox?
Orthodoxes, but Orthodox refers to the group as a whole, not the individuals like "Rebels" or "Apostates."
Here is my personal opinion of what the Rebellion sub factions should be designated as, taking into account all of the suggestions thus far.
I think that all of these suggestions correctly convey the play styles and philosophies of their respective factions without sounding overused or vague or too focused on one aspect of their existence as a sub faction. I also think that Orthodox has a slight Dune ring to it, and Dune is awesome.
In the end, though, it will be Stardock who decides what the best names are for the factions, and I hope that they change the names of the Vasari and Advent to something here on this post or maybe something cooler that they come up with themselves.


Math can be a tricky subject. For some kids, they either understand it easily or they don't. There isn't too often a middle ground when it comes to math. When dealing with difficult math subject, it can quickly become a frustrating situation. It can help if there is a fun way to approach learning math facts. If you can find some games online, videos to watch, or songs to reinforce math facts, those practices will absolutely aid in the teaching of math.
It also helps if you can find practical ways to introduce and practice math at home. Can you discuss math topics while having breakfast or over the dinner table? Can you review math while taking a walk or doing some exercises outside? Jumping jacks and counting go pretty well together. There are several ways to incorporate math into your daily life to help your homeschoolers learn their math facts.
If you ask each child at my house what subject they love the most, the answer would be science. Elementary science is so much fun because it incorporates so many incredible facets of learning into one subject. With science, you can make projects for science fairs or just for use at home. Busting out glue sticks and markers are a guaranteed smile around here. You can take a few household ingredients that don't do anything spectacular separately, but when mixed together, create something incredible. There are new words, new phrases, and new ideas that are interesting for children to see and learn.
Science can be difficult to teach if you aren't experienced in the subject (that is certainly my problem!). Fortunately, I have found several science videos to help me with teaching topics that I might otherwise struggle. What a blessing to have so many resources at my fingertips.
A new year is upon us. As usual, I think of how the school year has gone so far and how I want it to continue on in this new year. I re-evaluate how things are going and think of any changes that need to be made to our school plans. Do we need to adjust our approach to language arts? Is math working for us in the best way? Is someone struggling with handwriting?
I never like to continue on with something that may not be working just because I had once decided it would be a good fit for us. I'm constantly thinking about how things are going and decided if we need to adjust or change anything to better suit the learning needs of my children.
Does the new year make you take the time to re-focus?
I love autumn. It's my most favorite season. The weather is changing, the colors of the leaves are amazing and beautiful and it provides us with another chance to experience the nature around us. This time of year, we take the time to enjoy nature walks using several of our senses. We see the birds, small animals, and bugs. We hear the calls from one creature to another. We smell the air changing from one season to another. We pick up leaves and rocks to examine them more closely.
When we aren't sure what something is, whether it be an animal or plant, we write down telling characteristics so we can research when we return home. That's when the internet and science websites become our best friend. Gone are the days you pulled an encyclopedia from the shelf to do some more research. Now, we have the opportunity to learn more about plants and animals, as well have fun with some nature games!

Q: Not sure what is causing the index error in my if statement I am writing code for a black box test for an assignment.  In my function the inputs are a 2d array, and int for x, and int for y, and an int for zombie strength.  From my start position if the value of the element is less than the zombie strength, I change the value of the element to -1.  Than I got to that elements neighbors, up, down, left, and right (Not diagonal) and do the same to them.  I am using a try except, if the element exists than add it to a list, if not move on.  From what I understand using a try except will stop from adding element that do not exist in the array in the list.  That is why I am not sure why I am getting an indexing error when I black box test my code.  The inputs I added, but I do not know what inputs the black box test is using.
Here is my code
population = [[9, 3, 4, 5, 4], [1, 6, 5, 8, 9], [2, 3, 7, 3, 2], [4,5,1,4,3], [4, 5, 4, 3, 9]]
x = 2
y = 1
zombie = 5

def answer(population, x, y, zombie):
    list = []
    list.append([x,y])
    while list:
        print list
        front_of_list = list.pop(0)
        x = front_of_list[0]
        y = front_of_list[1]
        if population[front_of_list[0]][front_of_list[1]] <= zombie and population[front_of_list[0]][front_of_list[1]] >= 0:
            population[front_of_list[0]][front_of_list[1]] =  -1
            if x-1 >=0:
                try:
                    population[x-1][y]
                    list.append([x-1,y])
                except:
                    pass
            if y-1 >= 0:
                try:
                    population[x][y-1]
                    list.append([x,y-1])
                except:
                    pass
            if x+1 < len(population):
                try:
                    population[x+1][y]
                    list.append([x+1,y])
                except:
                    pass
            if y+1 < len(population[0]):
                try:
                    population[x][y+1]
                    list.append([x,y+1])
                except:
                    pass

answer(population, x, y, zombie)
print population

A: Your try clauses aren't necessary as the if test you do before covers the situation.  Let's try simplifying and clarifying the code to see if that fixes your problem since we're unable to reproduce it directly.
First, you continue to use front_of_list when x and y will do; we can simplify the if clauses by combining the tests (a Python feature); the (x, y) are naturally tuples so I switched them; you redefined the built-in name list so I switched it to array; finally I reduced the tests to loops to reduce the chance of copy-n-paste errors.  This leaves us with:
def answer(population, x, y, zombie):
    array = [(x, y)]

    x_limit = len(population)
    y_limit = len(population[0])

    while array:
        print array
        x, y = array.pop(0)

        if 0 <= population[x][y] <= zombie:

            population[x][y] = -1

            for dx in (-1, 1):
                if 0 <= x + dx < x_limit:
                    array.append((x + dx, y))

            for dy in (-1, 1):
                if 0 <= y + dy < y_limit:
                    array.append((x, y + dy))

population = [
    [9, 3, 4, 5, 4],
    [1, 6, 5, 8, 9],
    [2, 3, 7, 3, 2],
    [4, 5, 1, 4, 3],
    [4, 5, 4, 3, 9]
    ]

x, y = 2, 1

zombie = 5

answer(population, x, y, zombie)

print population

Plug this into your test situation and pass along the exact error messages if it continues to fail.
Your code and this assume a rectangular matrix, if your 2D array is ragged, this will cause an indexing error.  (Something to double check.)
UPDATE
The traditional sense of x is columns and y is rows but your code (and my rework) has this reversed.  Internally, it makes no difference but since you are being passed x & y as arguments, from the perspective of the code yours plugs into, this might mean the starting point is incorrect and might cause it to invalidate your result.  (Again, something to double check.)

The world wakes up to complacent central banking
by R.A. | WASHINGTON
REGULAR readers will know that I view a more expansionary monetary policy as a more-or-less can't-lose response to the current economic doldrums. It seems the idea is catching. Here's Martin Wolf, from his column this week:
[I]f governments need to run deficits, to support demand at a time of private sector weakness, they can always borrow from central banks. Yes, this is "printing money". It is also an insanely radical policy recommended by no less insane a radical than Milton Friedman, back in 1948. His view was that the government could expand the money supply during recessions and contract it in the subsequent booms. A country with a fiat currency and a floating currency could, thus, stabilise the economy without destabilising credit markets. The neat thing about this proposal is that one does not have to decide whether fiscal policy or monetary policy is doing the heavy lifting: they are two sides of one coin.
Money-financed stimulus was part of the prescription discussed by Ben Bernanke in the speech that earned him his "Helicopter Ben" nickname. It was also the subject of this recent post of mine. The same day Mr Wolf's column ran, the New York Times' David Leonhardt puzzled over the Fed's seeming complacence:
Ben Bernanke believes that he and his Federal Reserve colleagues have the ability to lift economic growth at their meeting this week. The Fed, he has said, "retains considerable power to expand aggregate demand and economic activity, even when its accustomed policy rate is at zero," as it is today.
Mr. Bernanke also believes that the economy is growing "not fast enough," as he recently put it. He has predicted that unemployment will remain high for years and that "a lot of people are going to be under financial stress."
Yet he has been unwilling to use his power to lift growth and reduce joblessness from near a 27-year high. Instead, Fed officials are expected to announce on Wednesday that they have left their policy unchanged, even if they acknowledge that the economy has recently weakened.
Mr Leonhardt speculated on why the Fed was standing pat:
Above all, top Fed officials are worried that financial markets are fragile. They are not so much worried about inflation, the traditional source of Fed angst, as they are about upsetting the markets' confidence in Washington. Yes, investors remain happy to lend the United States money at rock-bottom interest rates, despite our budget deficit and all of the emergency Fed programs that will eventually need to be unwound. But no one knows how long that confidence will last.
Slate's Dan Gross, also pondering the Fed's inaction suggests today that the Fed may simply be exhausted, or has run out of imagination.
Things are actually a bit clearer than all of this. Last December, Mr Bernanke said:
The public's understanding of the Federal Reserve's commitment to price stability helps to anchor inflation expectations and enhances the effectiveness of monetary policy, thereby contributing to stability in both prices and economic activity. Indeed, the longer-run inflation expectations of households and businesses have remained very stable over recent years. The Federal Reserve has not followed the suggestion of some that it pursue a monetary policy strategy aimed at pushing up longer-run inflation expectations. In theory, such an approach could reduce real interest rates and so stimulate spending and output. However, that theoretical argument ignores the risk that such a policy could cause the public to lose confidence in the central bank's willingness to resist further upward shifts in inflation, and so undermine the effectiveness of monetary policy going forward. The anchoring of inflation expectations is a hard-won success that has been achieved over the course of three decades, and this stability cannot be taken for granted. Therefore, the Federal Reserve's policy actions as well as its communications have been aimed at keeping inflation expectations firmly anchored.
The people on the FOMC are very smart. They know the options they have available to them. They've described them at various points. And they understand the ways in which those policies could help improve the economic situation.
And I think that various members of the FOMC believe that the Fed should be deploying some of these methods now. Mr Bernanke might well be among them. But there is disagreement within the Fed over the inflation implications of various activities, and they're extremely reluctant to become the Fed that let inflation get out of hand, not if they don't have to.
Mr Bernanke's recent language indicates to me that some members of the FOMC are a little concerned that they have overestimated recovery and underestimated the net fiscal drag of government austerity at the state and local level and in Europe. And I think they're realising that a six-month delay in the onset of rapid job-growth can mean a big shift in the composition of the stock of unemployed workers from short- to long-term unemployed, which then changes the outlook for labour market recovery substantially.
And they are probably also just plumb over-optimistic. In June of 2008, the Fed thought that the economy would expand by 2% to 3% in 2009.
Posit a divided, historically inflation-obsessed, over-optimistic Fed and it's pretty easy to reconcile Mr Bernanke's scholarship with his actions as Fed chair. And what this suggests to me is that while the practice of central banking has come a very long way since the early 1930s, it will have a lot more to learn from the experience of this crisis.

If you are going to small claims court and do the research and preparation I suggest in this book, it's possible that you won't require an attorney at all. However, if you've done your research and find that you still have questions, then consult with an attorney before proceeding. It's important to know your rights, and no amount of research may get you all the information you need. For example, we learned from Ken Carlson, among other things, that painted walls are not considered "damage," and that the landlord cannot file another lawsuit against Marilyn since he already filed once in court. It's important that you talk with an attorney who knows the landlord tenant law. In my quest for legal help, I talked with at least six attorneys, and paid two of them. If you live in California, I recommend consulting with Ken Carlson first, because he really knows the law. Be prepared, which means you should have done your research, and have very specific questions you want answered. Otherwise, you'll wind up paying a lot of money at $200 per hour or more that you didn't really need to spend.
Since you can't have an attorney represent you in small claims court, the next best thing is to get solid legal advice that you can present to the judge (along with your presentation folder). Mr. Carlson's Web site (www.caltenantlaw.com) includes a list of California attorneys who specialize in landlord tenant law; this is a good starting place if you live in California. Otherwise, you can Google search "landlord tenant" and "attorney" and the state in which you live to find an attorney.
If you are suing or being sued in superior court instead of small claims court, you require an attorney. Since attorneys charge by the hour, you may want to create your presentation folder before retaining an attorney, so that you'll have a solid amount of evidence the attorney can work from. Organization is key: for example, instead of asking your attorney which laws the landlord violated, if you show up prepared, you can tell the attorney which laws the landlord violated! That's being proactive, and even when working with an attorney you'll have a better chance of winning in court if you are educated in these matters. You'll be better prepared and you'll save money. The more work you do, the less work you pay your attorney to do, and the greater your chance of winning in court. After all, no one is going to care as much as you do about recovering your money.

Celebrating the Diamond Jubilee with 10 royal London locations – 9. Royal chapels…
by exploringlondon June 13, 2012 June 13, 2012
Palaces aside, the Queen also owns a series of chapels – the Chapels Royal – in London which, although not as grand as Westminster Abbey, have each played an important role in the history of the monarchy.
The term Chapel Royal originally referred to a group of priests and singers dedicated to serving the Sovereign's personal spiritual needs and as such would follow the monarch around the country. It was in Stuart times that they became more settled establishments with the two main Chapels Royal – the Chapel Royal and the Queen's Chapel – located in St James's Palace.
• The Chapel Royal, St James's Palace. Constructed by King Henry VIII, the chapel was decorated by Hans Holbein the Younger in honor of the king's (short) marriage to Anne of Cleves. Queen Mary I's heart is said to be buried beneath the choir stalls and it was here that Queen Elizabeth I apparently prayed waiting for news of the progress of the Spanish Armada. King Charles I took the Sacrament of Holy Communion here before his execution in 1649 and the chapel was where Queen Victoria married Prince Albert (her marriage certificate still hangs on the wall). In more recent times, the coffin of Diana, Princess of Wales, was placed before the altar so family and friends could pay their respects before her 1997 funeral. Among the composers and organists associated with the chapel are Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Henry Purcell and George Frideric Handel. The chapel is not open to the public except for services.
• The Queen's Chapel, St James' Palace (pictured right). Now located outside the palace walls, this chapel was built by King James I for the Catholic Henrietta Maria, the bride of his son, then Prince Charles (later King Charles I). Designed by Inigo Jones, Grinling Gibbons and Sir Christopher Wren were also involved in its creation. The chapel was used by Henrietta Maria until the Civil War and later became the home of the Danish Church in London. The chapel is not open to the public except for services.For more on this chapel or the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace, follow this link.
• The Queen's Chapel of the Savoy. Built in the Middle Ages to serve the now long gone Savoy Palace, London home of Count Peter of Savoy (uncle to King Henry III's wife, Eleanor of Provence, the original building was destroyed in the Peasant's Revolt of 1381. The current building, located in Savoy Hill, off the Strand, was built on the orders of King Henry VII in the late 15th and early 16th century to serve the hospital he founded on the site of the palace. The chapel since served many other congregations – including a German Lutheran congregation – but remains royal property via the Duchy of Lancaster, which is held in trust for the Sovereign and used to provide an income for the British monarch. It is officially the Chapel of the Royal Victorian Order. For more, see www.duchyoflancaster.co.uk/duties-of-the-duchy/the-queens-chapel-of-the-savoy/.
• Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace (pictured right). There has been a chapel here since the Knights Hospitallers occupied the site in the 13th century but it was Cardinal Wolsey who built the chapel to its present dimensions after acquiring the property in 1518. The current building, however, dates from the later ownership of King Henry VIII – Wolsey surrendered the property to him when he fell from favour – and further works in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Many subsequent monarchs have worshipped here. The chapel, with its stunning ceiling, is open to the public when visiting Hampton Court Palace. For more, see www.chapelroyal.org. PICTURE: Historic Royal Palaces/newsteam.co.uk
• The Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula, Tower of London. Originally a parish church, this was incorporated into the walls of the Tower in the reign of King Henry III. It was subsequently rebuilt at least twice – in the reign of King Edward I and King Henry VIII – and is home to the graves of important personages executed at the Tower including Henry VIII's one-time wives, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard as well as Jane Grey, the nine day queen, and Sir Thomas More and Bishop John Fisher. The chapel can be accessed during a Yeoman Warder's tour of the Tower of London.

• Chapel Royal of St John the Evangelist, Tower of London. Located within the White Tower, this beautiful chapel – arguably the oldest church in London – dates back to the construction of the tower by King William the Conqueror the late 11th century and remains one of the best preserved examples of Anglo-Norman architecture in England. King Henry III added stained glass windows but for much of its later history the chapel was used for records storage. Tradition records that King Henry VII's wife, Elizabeth of York, was laid in state here following her death in childbirth and that it was here Queen Mary was betrothed by proxy to Philip of Spain. This can be visited as part of a visit to the Tower of London. For more, see www.hrp.org.uk/TowerOfLondon/Sightsandstories/Prisoners/Towers/ChapelofStJohns

Treasures of London – The White Tower
by exploringlondon July 8, 2011
It's one of London's most famous landmarks and, having just undergone a three year, £2 million restoration, we thought it was time to take a look at the origins of the White Tower.
Now the keep of the Tower of London, the White Tower was first built by the Norman King William the Conqueror following his defeat of Saxon King Harold Godwinson and the cream of the Saxon army at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
Following his coronation at Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day, King William then withdrew to Barking Abbey while his men built several temporary strongholds in the city to ensure it wouldn't cause any trouble – this included an earth and timber keep standing on an artificial mound in the south-east corner of the city's Roman-era walls.
The White Tower, a permanent structure, replaced this and although the exact date its construction started is unknown, building – under the watchful eye of Gundulf, the Bishop of Rochester, was well underway by the mid-1070s. While the labourers were English, the masons in charge of the building were Norman and then even used some Caen stone imported from William's homeland (along with Kentish ragstone). By 1097 the tower was complete.
Primarily built as a fortress rather than for comfort, the size of the Tower was intimidating and, at 27.5 metres tall, it would have dominated the skyline for miles. Initial defences surrounding the White Tower included the Roman walls and two ditches although in later years outer walls were added to create the massive fortifications and series of towers one encounters at the site today.
The tower earned its moniker, the White Tower, from the whitewash used on its walls during the reign of King Henry II. The caps on the four turrets which stand at each corner of the tower were originally conical but were replaced with the current onion-shaped domes in the 1500s (the round tower was once home to the Royal Observatory before it moved out to Greenwich). The White Tower's large external windows are also more modern innovations, these were added in the 1600s by Sir Christopher Wren.
The original entrance to the White Tower was on the first floor, reached by a wooden staircase (that could be removed if necessary), much as it is today while, for security reasons, the internal stone spiral staircase was placed as far from this entry as possible in the north-east turret. A stone forebuilding was later added during the reign of King Henry II but was later demolished.
Inside, accommodation for the king was provided on the second floor – it originally had a gallery above but an extra floor – still there today – was later added. Accommodation for the Tower's constable was probably on the first floor. Both floors were divided in two – with a large hall on one side and smaller apartments on the other. These rooms now house displays on the Tower's history – at the present these include the Royal Armouries' exhibition 'Power House'.
The White Tower is also home to the Chapel of St John the Evangelist which, made from Caen stone, still looks much the same as it did in Norman times. It was used by the royal family when in residence at the tower but by the reign of King Charles II had become a store for state records. These were removed in 1857. Among some of the events which took place here was the lying in state of Queen Elizabeth of York, wife to King Henry VII, after her death in 1503, and the betrothal of Queen Mary I to Philip of Spain in 1554 (by proxy, Philip was not present). Prince Charles received communion here on his 21st birthday.
Other historic events associated with the White Tower include the apparent murder in 1483 of the 'Princes in the Tower' – King Edward V and his younger brother, Richard, Duke of York – while legend says they were killed in the Bloody Tower, the discovery of two skeletons under stairs leading to the chapel during building works in 1674 has led some to believe that they may have been buried here.
It was also in the White Tower that King Richard II was forced to sign away his throne to King Henry IV in 1399 and it was from the White Tower that Gruffydd ap Llywelyn Fawr, the illegitimate son of Welsh Prince Llywelyn the Great, apparently fell to his death while attempting to escape captivity in 1244.

King James I's London – 10. Westminster Abbey's Lady Chapel
And so we come to the final instalment in our series on King James I's London. This week we're looking at Westminster Abbey's Lady Chapel where King James I – who was crowned in Westminster Abbey in 1603 – was laid to rest after his death in 1625.
But before we turn to James himself, it's worth noting that several members of his immediate family are also buried in the abbey's Lady Chapel (pictured). These include his eldest son, Henry Fredrick, Prince of Wales, who died in 1612 at the age of 18 (and thus opened the way for his younger brother Charles to become King Charles I). He is buried in the south aisle of the magnificent Lady Chapel which had been added at the behest of King Henry VII between 1503 and 1519 and replaced a 13th century chapel.
Three of James' daughters are also buried in the Lady Chapel – Mary, who died in 1607, aged two, and Sophia, who died in 1606, aged just three days old. Both of them have monuments in the north aisle while their sister Elizabeth, wife of King Fredrick V of Bohemia, who died much later in 1662, is buried near her brother Henry Fitzpatrick.
As we've previously mentioned, King James I also outlived his wife, Queen Anne of Denmark, who died of dropsy at Hampton Court Palace on 2nd March, 1619, at the age of 43. She lay in state at Somerset House until her funeral on 13th May and was then buried in the south-eastern area of the Lady Chapel where her gravesite is marked by a modern stone bearing her name. Her wooden funeral effigy is one of a collection which can still be seen in the Abbey's Museum.
After James himself died on 27th March, 1625, he was laid in the vault beneath King Henry VII's monument beside Elizabeth of York, Henry's wife. No monument was erected to mark his passing save for a modern inscription placed nearby (in fact Queen Elizabeth I was the last monarch to be buried with a monument above the site – see below).
It's also worth noting that in 1612 – nine years into his reign – James arranged for the body of his mother – Mary, Queen of Scots, who was executed in 1587 on the orders of Queen Elizabeth I – to be transferred from its resting place in Peterborough Cathedral to the south aisle of the Lady Chapel where he had an elaborate tomb erected featuring an elegant white marble effigy showing her wearing a coif, ruff and long mantle.
In the north aisle, James had previously erected a marble monument to his predecessor, Queen Elizabeth I and had her body moved from where it had lain in the vault of her grandfather, King Henry VIII, to a place beneath the new monument. Her half-sister, Queen Mary I, is also buried beneath the monument.
That's the final in our series on King James I's London – it's by no means a comprehensive look at significant sites in the early Stuart period and we shall be looking at more from the period down the track, but it's a good start. Our new special series starts next week.

I am a geologist with a background in sedimentology and seismic stratigraphy analysis. I have actively participated in several fieldwork operations in Patagonia, Middle East, Africa and Europe.
My research involve deciphering geological processes occurring in both marine and lacustrine sedimentary basins. My major research interests focuses in marine geology and geolimnology with application to paleoclimate and paleotectonism. I am particularly interested in sedimentary records as indicators for environmental and climate change as well as the sedimentary architecture of the subsurface, basins environments and petroleum resources.
Lately, I have been dealing with the distribution of gas hydrates on the Norwegian continental margin. This study has lead to improve the understanding of methane dynamics in relation to seafloor stability, which is of major importance both for safe oil and gas exploitation and for evaluation of the resource potential.

Хасекі Айше Султан (не пізніше 1615—1680)  — хасекі-султанка Османської імперії, дружина османського султана Мурада IV.

Біографія
Невідомий точний рік народження та справжнє ім'я Айше-султан.

Айше фігурує у гаремних записах 1627 року тому, імовірно, саме в цей час вона стала наложницею Мурада. 21 грудні 1627 році вона народила шекзаде Ахмеда ,також її дітьми  були Ісміхан Каю султан  та  шекзаде Алаедін, хто ще був її дітьми достовірно  невідомо, але як стверджують посли Айше народила багато дітей султану.

Таємні реєстри гаманців фіксують присутність Айше ,як єдиної хасекі  до появи другої невідомої хасекі, яка з'являється у самому кінці сімнадцятирічного правління Мурада. Платня Айше складала 2000 аспер на день у той час, як  платня другої хасекі на початку її кар'єри складала 2571;однак  через сім місяців стипендія невідомої хасекі була зменшен до 2000 і на цьому рівні вони обидві залишились до смерті султана Мурада.

Прикладом міцного зв'язку між Айше та Мурадом є той факт, що султа взяв Айше з собою під час свого походу на Єреван. «Улюблена султанка, яка була присутня під час походу, пішла вперед до Константинополя з шістьма галерами і пристала до кіоска Сінан-паші».

Після смерті чоловіка Айше була відправлена в старий палац, де і померла. У записах про видачу платні ім'я Айше фігурує в 1671 і 1678—1679 роках, після смерті султана її зарплатня складала 100-200 аспер на день.

David Bryan and Friends
Sep 25 | Wed | 7PM | $5 Event is Over
"The year was 1986; I was a mere 14 years old... And at that moment - one which I shall never forget - I heard the song 'Good Lovin,' a cover version from the Grateful Dead's album 'Shakedown Street'. I recognized the song but had never heard this version before... I was hooked instantly." David Bryan & Friends is a musical group led by Bryan's musical interpretation of the life, art, music, and philosophy of Jerry Garcia. The band originated in June of 2014, when Bryan successfully petitioned St. Bartholomew's Church on Park Avenue in NYC (a national historic landmark) to host a one-of-a-kind concert entitled, "Songs to fill the air: A Memorial Concert to Celebrate the Life of Jerry Garcia." This was followed soon after with an appearance at the popular all-day festival, "Grateful Fest" out on Long Island. After a couple of years playing in the NYC club/bar scene, the band then put on a historic concert by being the first ever Dead cover band to play in an actual subterranean gothic crypt (at Church of the Intercession in Harlem, NYC.) More unique venues are in the works for 2019, including a national historic landmark synagogue, and a Unitarian Church on Central Park West.

Ultraviolet light is a range of wavelengths shorter than the visible light spectrum. These short wavelengths penetrate to the molecular level and excite portions of the molecule in various ways. When the skin is exposed to UV, these shorter wavelengths destroy the cell nucleus, causing the cell to die and turn red (sunburn, snow blindness, etc.). When protected from contact with humans by using protective glasses, gloves and clothing or housing the UV in protective chambers the short wavelengths can be used to change molecules in designed ways.
One such designed change is to cause photo-initiators to link short chain, liquid polymers and monomers together making long, intertwined polymer chains. This is UV curing. This reaction can take place in just a few seconds yielding very fast cure times that have distinct benefits in high volume, high speed, manufacturing operations. With good polymer design, the cross-linking and bonding properties can be controlled to design in properties such as substrate adhesion, surface smoothness or roughness, hardness or softness, pliable or rigid and a host of other properties that formulators can adjust depending on the requirements for a specific application. For example, a tough clear coating bonding to glass would have design properties different from a flexible ink bonding to polycarbonate – both would be cured using UV energy to excite photo-initiators causing the polymers and monomers to cross link – this is UV cure. In the case of the ink, pigments would be added to get just the desired color.


NFL Week 1 is almost here and DraftKings & FanDuel are getting us hyped early in August! Player salaries have been released which means we can start to build our rosters!
Remember, the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs kickoff on Thursday, September 7th, so they are not eligible for the Sunday games. That means no Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Brandin Cooks, Julian Edelman, or Travis Kelce.
There is also a double header on Monday Night Football which means no Saints at Vikings or Chargers at Broncos players available.
We decided to look at the top 10 QB/TE and 20 RB/WR salaries for Week 1 and compared how both sites priced them. There are more than 10/20 at those positions because each site has a different player or two inside their top 10/20.
It's not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison since the DraftKings salary cap is $50k and FanDuel's is $60k. Also, DraftKings has a flex position instead of a kicker. It's hard to say whether a player is under or over-valued without knowing the week 1 points projections for each site. We will wait for our projections to provide us with more information before making any firm conclusions.

Last year on DraftKings, the top 10 priced QBs averaged 24.8 points in week 1. At 8300, Luck was the 2nd most expensive QB behind Rodgers, and his 38.5 points at home against the Detroit Lions was the weeks top score. Brees and Alex Smith were the only others to score 30 points. Smith was the 19th most expensive QB. Wilson (7900) and Cousins (7400) were the only QBs, in the top 10 pricing, that scored less than 15 points. Eli Manning (7500, 19.28) was the only other to score less than 10. The 3 most expensive quarterbacks averaged 32.49 points.
On FanDuel, the 10 most expensive QBs averaged 21.45 points. The three top priced QBs averaged 30.16. Four of the top 10 scoring quarterbacks were cheaper than 7700.
The Falcons gets the Bears week 1 who one of the worst defenses in the league. If you want to spend big on a QB, Ryan is pretty safe, but a bit more expensive on FanDuel compared to DraftKings.
Roethlisberger gets the Browns week 1, but let's not forget just how much worse he plays on the road. At his price, I think I will pass.
I will consider Cousins on DraftKings, but I might have to pass on FanDuel. The Eagles defense is much better than people may realize but Cousins has had success against them.
Last year on DraftKings, the top 20 priced RBs averaged 15.2 points in week 1. DeAngelo Williams led the position with 38.1 points, on the road, against the Redskins. At just $4400, Spencer Ware (35.9) was the only other RB to hit 30 points. Five of the 20 most expensive RBs scored less than 10 points, including Gurley (7800, 5.2) & Adrian Peterson (7600, 3.1). The 6 most expensive backs averaged 16.75 points.
On FanDuel, Williams was the highest scorer of the non QBs with 32.1 points. The top 20 priced RBs averaged 12.94 points in week 1. 45% of them failed to score double-digits. The 8 most expensive RBs averaged 9.67 points. Four of the top 11 RB that week were priced under $6k.
DraftKings is really banking on Elliot facing a suspension, pricing McFadden at 6100.
Fournette, McCaffrey, Mixon and Henry are all RBs you can ignore in week 1 at their price. Three rookies and a backup RB that saw 15 carries twice and failed to rush for more than 65 yards last year.
Miller, Hyde and Rodgers are cheap on DraftKings - remember Doug Martin is suspended for the first four games.
Last year on DraftKings, the top 20 priced WRs averaged 17.5 points in week 1. Green's 39 points was the weekly high across all positions, on the road against the Jets. Cooks (7700, 36.4), Brown (9800, 35.6) & Willie Snead (4800, 35.2) were the only other WRs to hit 30 points. Bryant's 1.8 was the worst performance of the expensive receivers. Marshall (7800, 6.2), Watkins (6900, 6.2) & Thomas (7000, 8.8) were the only others to score less than 10 points. The 6 most expensive receivers averaged 20.12 points.
On FanDuel, Cooks outscored Green by 0.4 points to claim the top score by a WR but was the fourth best overall total. The top 20 priced receivers averaged 14.54 points. 7 of the 20 failed to score 10 points. The 8 most expensive WRs averaged 15.01 points. Five of the top 15 scorers were priced under $6k.
If you are going to play Jackson, please make sure it's on DraftKings only! Same can be said for Marshall and Adams.
Pryor is that same guy for all you playing on FanDuel.
Hilton's price on DK reflects the possibility of no Andrew Luck. If it turns out that Luck plays, Hilton could be a steal.
Last year on DraftKings, the top 10 priced TEs averaged 9.79 points in week 1. Gary Barnidge (4700) put up a goose egg on two targets. Coby Fleener (4900, 1.6), Jimmy Graham (3800, 2.1), Antonio Gates (4200, 5) and Delanie Walker (4500, 7.7) all scored below 10 points. Not in the top 10, at $2500, Doyle was the top scoring TE with 18.5 points at home against the Lions. 50% of the 12 TEs that scored double digits were priced outside the top 10. The 3 most expensive TEs averaged just 13.7 points.
On FanDuel, the 10 most expensive TEs averaged 8.36 points. The top 3 priced TEs averaged 8.8 points.
FanDuel is way overvaluing Bucs rookie TE Howard while DraftKings seems to have forgotten about Ertz.
Witten averaged 10 targets in the two games against the Giants vs 5.6 looks from Prescott against the rest of the league. If Elliot is suspended I am going to fit Witten into my lineups. Doyle too if Luck plays.


The Sensua whip by Lelo is a mini-flogger great for a gentle whipping or sensory play. The short handle and suede tassels gently tickle when dragged across erogenous zones, or deliver a light sting when flicked gently from the wrist. The Sensua is a petite 35.5cm long from handle to fall end, with 40 suede falls (tasseled ends). The suede is gentle on the skin, with a bit of weight to it when flicked, but it doesn't provide the kind of thuddy impact usual with a larger flogger. This is more of a sensory toy, designed to be light and easy in the hand, with a lot of softness to the tasseled end.

The license for NEXUS remote control by Yamaha mixing consoles must be purchased from Stage Tec.


With only three games this week this will be a review.
needed. However, referees are usually not thinking about offside, but rather looking for fouls, so it can be missed, this means that the AR needs to ask. There is no need for a quick flag in this situation so there is time for a "who played it?" or "help, help, help". This play should not have been called offside.


We're so grateful for the generosity of the residents at Buckner Westminster Place in Longview. They collected 120 pairs of shoes for distribution at the School Supply Train in August!
The footwear will be distributed to vulnerable children during the local School Supply Train back-to-school event that will be held just before school resumes. The Junior League of Longview event provides school supplies, backpacks, uniforms, haircuts and shoes for hundreds of children served by Buckner in Longview each year, helping every child walk into the first day of class prepared to learn.
The Longview drive continues through June 16. For information about how to donate shoes, click here.


The bond between Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez is apparently so strong it can withstand even the wackiest of rumors.
Last month, right around the time that the two announced their engagement, former Oakland Athletics baseball player and noted troublemaker Jose Canseco hopped on Twitter and tried to start some drama concerning his fellow former baseball player, Rodriguez. "Watching World of Dance watching J.Lo text Alex Rodriguez little does she know that he is cheating on her with my ex-wife Jessica poor girl she has no idea who he really is," he tweeted.
None of this sat well with Jessica Canseco, who was married to Jose from 1996 to 1999. She quickly reprimanded her ex for dragging her into the accusation, and immediately shut down the allegations by tweeting, "Those false accusations Jose is making are not true!🖐🏻I have known Alex for many years and haven't even seen him for over 5. I certainly did not sleep with him. I am friendly with both him and Jennifer. As for Jose he can keep playing with his Alien friends," referring to her ex-husband's affinity for tweeting about the benefits of interacting with an intergalactic species.
In the midst of dismissing Canseco's allegations that her fiancé had cheated on her, Lopez did open up about the research she did for her new stripper drama film Hustlers, which she will star in alongside Cardi B, Lili Reinhart, and Constance Wu, and her obsession with Game of Thrones. While discussing her training and workout routines that she did for Hustlers, she also admitted that Diddy, an ex-boyfriend of hers, had to apologize to Rodriguez for thirstily commenting "OMG 😍" on one of Lopez's fitness grams. In case it wasn't already clear, Rodriguez is quite the active Instagram user, so he almost definitely saw the comment, but there were no hard feelings. "So you guys know, he wrote Alex after that," Lopez said. "He was like, 'I didn't mean anything by it, I have nothing but respect for you guys, I'm so happy for you guys.' We were together so many years ago, it's just like, we were kids, you know?"
And while she remained calm and cool, she did have one warning for anyone who dared to start drama with her man. "He doesn't play," Lopez said. "Do not disrespect that man."

HOA management (BOD) is more than property management (CAM)
I continue to be baffled as to how real estate attorneys and property managers, unlicensed in most states, have been allowed by state legislatures to advise and dictate to HOA boards (BOD) on how to govern a community by an Association that is very similar to a local government body. Governing a community is more than managing a property in a subdivision.
Many other experts and authorities have attempted to explain this complex concept of "what is management" — including the renowned Peter F. Drucker. (The Practice of Management and Management). My take is a simple, down-to-earth explanation as part of "Reorienting the BOD and its followers," the first step in A Plan Toward the Restructuring the HOA Model of Governance.
Management (noun) – Management is an entity — an organization whether a business, a nonprofit, an HOA, a charity, a club, a group, or a person. It applies to any person, or organization, or entity at all levels with respect to its level of authority and responsibilities — CEO, president, division director, department manager, supervisor, or committee chair. The difference in organizational type is related to their purpose and mission. Businesses are to make a profit for their stockholders. Nonprofit membership organizations, like HOAs, have a mission or goal as laid out by the founders and initial directors that is designed to attract and maintain members — for $$$$$ — who identify with the mission.
Management (function) — Management is a practice (as first described by Drucker in 1973). It's an actual application by practitioners/managers — whatever the designation: manager, governor, administrator, board of directors, trustee, etc. — of the set of beliefs, principles, and values held by the organization. The quality and success of the management function is measured by its performance in attaining its mission, objectives, and goals. They may set by its constitution, charter, bylaws, Declaration of CC&Rs, or by department/section/committee descriptions.
Executive level management — at the state legislature through its lawmaking authority or at HOA board of directors level — has final and total responsibility for the successful performance of the organization and sets the mission, goals, conduct and operation of the entity. It has the duty to 1) set policy, plans, rules, regulations, controls, procedures, etc., and 2) organize and structure the entity. All in keeping with its powers under the legal documents and laws granting it the authority to so act.
The very first task for the BOD is to determine just what is the purpose of the entity, and what should it be. Once this reason for being has been determined and stated in terms that permit the evaluation of performance, a valid mission statement can be issued. From the mission statement a single goal or set of goals can be issued that permit a measurement of the entity's performance. Value statements can be adopted to guide the BOD and members with respect to acceptable means and methods for achieving the goals.
"A mission statement has to be operational; otherwise it's just good intentions. A mission statement has to focus on what the institution really tries to do." (Managing the Nonprofit Organization, Peter Drucker, 1990).
The mission statement by the HOA Management Case Study #1 subject, SCG for example, speaks in the present tense using the word "IS," making it more of a propaganda statement — it already exists or has already been accomplished — rather than a condition, an ideal, to be achieved. Consequently, SCG's mission serves no value for the establishment of goals that can measure performance, leaving the HOA essentially without any direction.
Cautionary note:
Management when it fails to abide by the authorizing documents and marketing materials that appeal to the wants, desires, and wishes of the members will result in members exiting the organization, taking their future member donations, dues, fees, etc. with them. With businesses, except small, closely held businesses, exiting is a simple task of selling one's stock and buying another.
HOAs are more like a small, closely held businesses where exiting is not a simple task primarily due to the need to find some other private buyer (investor) willing to ignore why you are leaving. The status and situation of members can be viewed as a form of indentured servitude: you can't leave unless you have money to leave (like having paid off your servitude obligation), or you die.
Consequently, management in membership nonprofit organizations, like local governments, must keep the members happy. Any changes or modifications to the purpose, or mission, or goals of the organization must consider the effect on the members. And must follow the law and the controlling documents – the CC&Rs in HOAs. The BOD is not a free agent to do as it pleases as if the HOA were its own private club.

Q: How to get access to the default variable of the role from another role in ansible I have a role with default calculating variables like:
port: {{prefix}}{{postfix}}

When I try to get access to this variable from another role  with {{hostvars[broker]['port']}} , I catch error:
AnsibleUndefinedVariable: 'dict object' has no attribute 'port'

In most cases, I need to calculate port, but in rare cases, I need to override this var from host-var.
What is the best way to get access to default var from another role?
Ansible version: 2.2.0.0

A: With {{hostvars[broker]['port']}} you can access only host facts and role defaults are not facts, so this will work only if you define port as host-var.
If you absolutely need to query port value from other plays/hosts after applying your role to broker host, you may add to your role:
- set_fact:
    port: "{{ port }}"

this will ensure that there is port fact exist so you can access it via hostvars.


The RVC led international consortium "Networking to enhance the use of economics in animal health education, research and policy making in Europe and beyond" (NEAT) that aimed to strengthen and enhance the use of economics in animal health in higher education and professional environments by creating a wider cadre of people to teach economics and to create educational materials, has come to the end of the Lifelong Learning Programme Erasmus funding.
Apart from networking activities and awareness raising it has developed and made publicly available a series of undergraduate teaching materials for economics applied to animal health, which can be downloaded here under a Creative Commons licence: . A major legacy of NEAT is the creation of the new International Society for Economics and Social Sciences of Animal Health (ISESSAH), which will hold its inaugural meeting in Aviemore, Scotland, UK, 27th and 28th of March 2017. ISESSAH aims to improve animal health and welfare policies, programme and projects through more nuanced use of concepts and tools available in economics and social science disciplines.
The meeting, which is organised by NEAT/ISESSAH members including RVC staff members Jonathan Rushton (conference organising committee) and Barbara Haesler (scientific committee), will have keynote presentations from leading thinkers in economics and social sciences. Other oral and poster presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts. There will be a social function and a dinner to provide ample time for participants to engage in discussions.
Key themes of the conference will evolve around the questions a) Where do we come from – what has been critical progress in the use of economics and social sciences of animal health in past years?; b) Where do we stand now – how are economics and social sciences currently being used for animal health decision-making?; and c) Where should we go – what will be the future challenges for economics and social sciences to improve animal health? The abstract submission deadline is the 30th of October.

7 Lazy P Outfitting accommodates special draw hunts for species such as bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and moose. We are your premier Montana Bob Marshall outfitters, because our guides are familiar with the area and hunting districts. Our expertise and knowledge can improve both your chances and ease of locating, retrieving, and professionally caring for your trophy.
What Is A Special Draw?
Special draw permits are decided on a random lottery draw. Applicants can gain extra chances to draw their selected permit through bonus points. Bonus points can be purchased separately on their own or accumulated through unsuccessful drawings. The bonus points are squared, so an applicant with 3 points will have 9 chances of being drawn for their desired permit.
Special draw permits offer discerning hunters a great opportunity to pursue a trophy animal in a limited entry area. At 7 Lazy P, we encourage all of our hunters to put in for these permits and to start building points. This is because, the bonus points are squared to determine your chances, so it does not take long before you have a really good chance of drawing a permit.
How Should I Use My Draw?
Once you draw a permit we can then come up with a strategy of how to make the best use of it. As there are also special draw permits for deer and elk. These permits are only valid for a specific species in a limited district, and are additional to the deer and elk licenses that are valid throughout Montana. We have some fantastic private land options available, along with guided public land hunts, for mule deer permits.
Why 7 Lazy P Outfitting?
The 7 Lazy P lodge is perfectly positioned to allow you to hunt the 441 district. If you draw a bull elk tag for the 441 area, then we have some brilliant opportunities for you to harvest a truly magnificent bull.
