U 602 war ein deutsches Unterseeboot des Typs VII C. Es wurde von der Kriegsmarine im Zweiten Weltkrieg während des U-Boot-Krieges im Nordatlantik und im Mittelmeer eingesetzt und ging im April 1943 im Mittelmeer verloren.

Technische Daten
Die Kriegsmarine bezog die Hamburger Werft Blohm & Voss von Kriegsbeginn an in das U-Bootbauprogramm mit ein. Der sechste Bauauftrag für U-Boote an diese Werft erging am 22. Mai 1940 und umfasste zehn Boote des Typs VII C, U 599 bis U 610. Ein Boot dieses Typs hatte eine Länge von 67 m und unter Wasser eine Verdrängung von 865 m³. Es wurde über Wasser von zwei Dieselmotoren angetrieben, die eine Geschwindigkeit von 17 kn erreichten. Unter Wasser gewährleisteten zwei Elektromotoren eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 7 kn. Die Bewaffnung dieser U-Boot-Klasse – auch "Atlantikboot" genannt – bestand bis 1944 aus einer 8,8-cm-Kanone und einer 2-cm-Flak an Deck sowie vier Bugtorpedorohren und einem Hecktorpedorohr.

Kommandanten
Philipp Schüler wurde am 17. Oktober 1911 in Frankfurt am Main geboren und trat 1935 in die Kriegsmarine ein. Bis 1940 fuhr er unter anderem als Zugoffizier auf dem Schlachtschiff Gneisenau. Im Anschluss an seine U-Bootausbildung diente er als Wachoffizier auf U 100 und als Kommandant auf U 141. Am 29. Dezember 1941 übernahm er das Kommando auf U 602. Am 1. Februar 1942 wurde Schüler zum Kapitänleutnant befördert.

Einsatzgeschichte
Das Boot war im Oktober 1942 in die Operationen von U-Bootgruppen eingebunden, die nach Maßgaben der von Karl Dönitz entwickelten Rudeltaktik im Nordatlantik nach alliierten Geleitzügen suchten.

U-Bootgruppen Panther und Puma
Die U-Bootgruppe Panther wurde am 6. Oktober zusammengestellt, um ab dem 7. Oktober im Seegebiet südöstlich von Kap Farvel einen Suchstreifen zu bilden. Sie bestand aus 18 Booten und sollte alliierte Geleitzüge aufspüren, entdeckte aber keine feindlichen Schiffe. Einige U-Boote dieser Gruppe wurden einige Tage später anderen U-Bootgruppen zugeteilt. U 620, das nun der U-Bootgruppe Leopard angehörte, entdeckte am 12. Oktober den Geleitzug ONS 136. U 353 wurde am 16. Oktober beim Angriff der U-Bootgruppe Wotan auf den Geleitzug SC 104 versenkt.

Die Umgruppierung der sich im Nordatlantik befindlichen U-Boote und die Zusammenstellung und Positionierung der so entstandenen drei neuen U-Bootgruppen Panther, Wotan und Leopard war aus Sicht der U-Bootführung hinsichtlich des Aufspürens von Geleitzügen sehr erfolgreich. Dieser Erfolg geht ursächlich auf die Entschlüsselung des alliierten Funkverkehrs durch den deutschen B-Dienst zurück. Die meisten der restlichen Boote der U-Bootgruppe Panther wurden ab dem 16. Oktober umpositioniert und in der U-Bootgruppe Puma zusammengefasst. Das beschädigte Boot U 441 musste die Unternehmung abbrechen und wurde durch U 436 ersetzt. Am 22. Oktober 1942 entdeckte U 443 unter Konstantin von Puttkamer den Geleitzug ON 139. Puttkamer ließ eine Meldung absetzen und entschied sich zum sofortigen Angriff, denn eine aktuelle Entscheidung Dönitz' besagte, dass ein Geleitzug, der schneller als 11 kn lief, entgegen der Prinzipien der Rudeltaktik sofort attackiert werden dürfe. Puttkamer versenkte zwei Schiffe; weitere Boote der U-Bootgruppe Puma erreichten den Geleitzug nicht. Puma wurde gegen Ende Oktober aufgelöst.

Einsatz im Nordatlantik
Im November 1942 patrouillierte U 602 im Nordatlantik, hatte aber bis kurz vor Ende dieser Unternehmung keinerlei Feindkontakt. U 603, das sich auf seiner ersten Unternehmung befand, war bereits auf Kurs nach Frankreich, als sein Kommandant Hans-Joachim Bertelsmann am 4. Dezember einen Geleitzug entdeckte, der sich auf den Weg nach Gibraltar befand. Die Peilzeichen des Bootes führten vier weitere U-Boote heran: U 175, U 214, U 432 und U 602. Die Angriffe von U 603 verliefen erfolglos, und das Boot nahm deshalb nicht an weiteren Attacken teil, sondern lief auf schnellstem Wege nach Brest. Die Angriffe der herangeeilten U-Boote auf den Konvoi wurden wegen dessen starker Luftsicherung am 6. Dezember abgebrochen.

Einsatz im Mittelmeer

Im Herbst 1942 gingen mehrere U-Boote der im Mittelmeer stationierten U-Boot-Flottillen in Gefechten gegen die bei der Operation Torch eingesetzten alliierten Luft- und Seestreitkräfte verloren. Die deutsche U-Bootführung entschied, vier der zu diesem Zeitpunkt im Atlantik patrouillierenden U-Boote abzuziehen und ins Mittelmeer zu entsenden. Neben U 602 waren dies U 443, U 301 und U 258. U 602 passierte am 8. Dezember 1942 bei einem sogenannten "Gibraltar-Durchbruch" die Straße von Gibraltar, die von britischen Seekräften stark bewacht war, und gelangte ins Mittelmeer. Dort gelang Schüler am folgenden Tag seine einzige Versenkung, als er den britischen P-Zerstörer HMS Porcupine torpedierte. Der Zerstörer konnte zwar noch Gibraltar erreichen, wurde dort aber nicht mehr repariert. Er wurde zerschnitten und beide Rumpfteile, vorderer und hinterer, wurden schwimmfähig gemacht und nach Dartmouth überführt. Dort dienten sie bis zum Kriegsende unter den Spitznamen Pork und Pine als Hafenschiffe.

Versenkung
Am 11. April 1943 lief U 602 aus Toulon zu einer Feindfahrt im westlichen Mittelmeer aus. Der letzte Funkspruch des Boots wurde am 19. April um 23:10 Uhr abgesetzt. Das Boot fuhr zu diesem Zeitpunkt mit südlichem Kurs auf die westliche algerische Küste zu. Vier Tage später meldete sich das Boot nach Aufforderung nicht mehr. Die Eintragungen des FdU-Mittelmeer ergaben durch Mitkopplung des Kurses, dass sich U 602 zu diesem Zeitpunkt im Seegebiet vor Oran oder Algier befunden haben könnte. Es wird angenommen, dass U 602 ohne direkte Feindeinwirkung gesunken ist – ursächlich könnte menschliches oder technisches Versagen, ein Minentreffer oder eine Tauchpanne sein. Seit dem 23. April 1943 gilt das Boot mit der gesamten Besatzung von 48 Mann als verschollen.

Ursprünglich wurde die Versenkung des Boots einem britischen Hudson Bomber des 500. Geschwaders der Royal Air Force zugeschrieben, der am 23. April im Seegebiet vor Oran ein U-Boot trotz Gegenfeuer mit vier Wasserbomben attackierte und dabei selbst abgeschossen wurde. Der Pilot der Hudson starb bei diesem Angriff und die Besatzung konnte sich mit Fallschirmen retten. Inzwischen gilt als gesichert, dass dieser Angriff U 453 gegolten hatte, das dabei allerdings nicht beschädigt worden war. Der Verbleib von U 602 bleibt ungeklärt.

Q: asp button on click inside item template not firing Not able to make this work.
<asp:TemplateField>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Button ID="btnApprove" runat="server" Text="Approve" OnClick ="btnApprove_Click" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

code behind:
protected void btnApprove_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Redirect("viewprofile.aspx");
}

not even firing when button is clicked. any tricks on this?

A: Set EnableEventValidation="false" right at the top in your Page directive:
<%@ Page EnableEventValidation="false" Language="C#"...
Just beware that setting this value to false can expose your website to security vulnerabilities.As an alternative, instead of setting EnableEventValidation="false" you can handle the grid views OnRowCommand:
.ASPX:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand">
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Button runat="server" Text="Approve" CommandName="Approve" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Code behind:
public partial class delete_me : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)//THIS IS IMPORTANT.GridView1_RowCommand will not fire unless you add this line
        {
            var p1 = new Person() { Name = "Person 1" };
            var p2 = new Person() { Name = "Person 2" };

            var list = new List<Person> { p1, p2 };
            GridView1.DataSource = list;
            GridView1.DataBind();
        }

    }

    protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
    }
}

public class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

A: You Just put on your gridview.
<asp:TemplateField>
                                <ItemTemplate>
                                    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click"/>
                                </ItemTemplate>
                            </asp:TemplateField>

Also put code behind
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Response.Redirect("WebForm1.aspx");
        }

Try!!!! it's working fine...

What's the difference between selling to an investor like us instead of through a normal real estate agent? Simply put, time and money. If you're in a situation where you need to sell a home quickly or you don't have the means or the energy to make the necessary repairs to a property, selling to an investor may be in your best interest.
Real estate agents sell to other buyers, which means your property needs to be in premium condition with all repairs made. Additionally, the process of finding a buyer and dealing with banks to complete a deal can take months or years to complete. As the seller, you will typically be required to pay the closing costs and additional fees.
In contrast, an investor is willing to purchase a home 'as-is', with no additional repairs or investment needed. By providing a cash offer for your property, an investor can facilitate a fast closing and avoid the added hassles that come with selling through an agent.
If you need to sell your property quickly or you don't want to put time and energy intorenovations and repairs, selling to an investor may be your best option.

Digging into its treasure trove of diplomatic cables, Wikileaks uncovered the secret Mueller mission. It occurred at a time when the United States and Russia were cooperating to uncover smuggling of nuclear materials.
Using what passes for current Democrat logic, would this mean that President Barack Obama was acting in a treasonous manner in trying to stop the flow of stolen nuclear materials by cooperating with Russia?
The 2009 cable shows that the Russian government enlisted the aid of the United States in learning more about nuclear smuggling in the country of Georgia.
The highly-enriched uranium (HEU) was seized in a sting operation that involved one Russian national and several Georgian accomplices. The HEU then was transferred to U.S. custody for storage at a secure Department of Energy (DOE) facility.
The cable explains how the United States became involved in Russia's two-year quest to obtain a 10-gram sample of the stolen material.
The cancelled Mueller trip was rescheduled for September 21, 2009.
So Muller delivers a 10 gram sample of Uranium to Russia as part of a joint Investigation into Uranium smuggling. He transported the Uranium as a law enforcement representative and turned the sample over to a representative from a responsible Russian law enforcement authority. 10 grams would make a ball 1/3 of an inch in diameter or about twice the size of a BB. So what is the big deal?

Auf dem RwandAir-Flug 205 (Flugnummer: WB205) ereignete sich am 12. November 2009 ein schwerer Flugunfall, als die eingesetzte Bombardier CRJ100ER der kenianischen JetLink Express sich nach einer Notlandung nicht abstellen ließ, sich wieder in Bewegung setzte und in das Flughafenterminal des Flughafens Kigali stieß. Bei dem Zwischenfall kam ein Passagier ums Leben, zehn Menschen wurden verletzt.

Maschine
Das betroffene Flugzeug war eine Bombardier CRJ100ER, die zum Zeitpunkt des Unfalls 12 Jahre alt war. Die Maschine mit der Werksnummer 7197 wurde am 3. November 1997 an die französische Air Littoral erstausgeliefert, welche sie mit dem Luftfahrzeugkennzeichen F-GPTF zuließ. Ab dem 18. November 2000 war die Maschine an die Lufthansa CityLine verleast, ehe sie zum 10. Dezember 2000 an die Air Littoral zurückgegeben wurde. Ab dem 25. Oktober 2002 folgte ein Leasing an Brit Air, aus dem die Maschine zum 30. Juni 2003 zurückkehrte. Am 12. Oktober 2007 wurde das Flugzeug an die kenianische JetLink Express verkauft, die dieses mit dem neuen Kennzeichen 5Y-JLD zuließ. Das zweistrahlige Regionalverkehrsflugzeug war mit zwei Turbojettriebwerken des Typs General Electric CF34-3A1 ausgestattet. Bis zum Zeitpunkt des Unfalls hatte das Flugzeug eine Gesamtbetriebsleistung von 17.170 Betriebsstunden absolviert, auf die 17.025 Starts und Landungen entfielen. Zum Unfallzeitpunkt war die Maschine mit der Bemalung der JetLink Express versehen.

Besatzung
An Bord der Maschine befand sich eine vierköpfige Besatzung, bestehend aus einem Flugkapitän, einer Ersten Offizierin und zwei Flugbegleiterinnen.

Der 37-jährige Kapitän der Maschine war kenianischer Staatsbürger und hatte seinen Pilotenschein im Jahr 1991 erworben und war im Jahr 1992 zum Piloten im kommerziellen Flugverkehr zertifiziert worden. Neben der Bombardier CRJ100 besaß er Musterberechtigungen für Maschinen der Typen Let L-410, Piper  PA-34 und Beechcraft 1900. Die gesamte Flugerfahrung des Kapitäns belief sich auf 11.478 Flugstunden, von diesen hatte er rund 1.110 in der CRJ100 absolviert.

Die 27-jährige Erste Offizierin hatte ihre Pilotenausbildung im Juli 2002 begonnen und war im Januar 2005 in Australien zur Pilotin im kommerziellen Flugverkehr zertifiziert worden. Neben der CRJ100 besaß sie Musterberechtigungen zum Fliegen der Flugzeugtypen Cessna 152, Cessna 172, Piper PA-34, und Cessna 208. Die Erste Offizierin verfügte über 1.558 Stunden Flugerfahrung, von denen sie 533 im Cockpit der Bombardier CRJ100 absolviert hatte. Ihre Musterberechtigung für die Bombardier CRJ100 erhielt sie am 19. Februar 2009 nach 32 Stunden Training im Flugsimulator. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte sie 1.025 Stunden Flugerfahrung.

Passagiere und Flugplan
Den internationalen Linienflug WB205 von Kigali nach Entebbe hatten elf Passagiere angetreten. Unter diesen befand sich ein Techniker der Fluggesellschaft. Der Flug wurde durch die kenianische JetLink Express im Auftrag der RwandAir durchgeführt.

Unfallhergang
Die Maschine startete um 12:54 Uhr Ortszeit vom Flughafen Kigali. Zwei Minuten nach dem Start meldeten die Piloten der Flugsicherung, dass der linke Schubhebel sich in der Startposition verklemmt habe. Der Kapitän flog daraufhin Warteschleifen, während die Erste Offizierin gemeinsam mit einem Techniker der Fluggesellschaft versuchte, das Problem mit den Schubhebeln zu beheben. Die Besatzungsmitglieder waren nicht in der Lage, den Schub des Triebwerks zu reduzieren, befolgten jedoch auch nicht die Checkliste für Fehlfunktionen des Schubhebels. Schließlich kehrte die Maschine zum Flughafen Kigali um, wobei die Piloten in der Zwischenzeit den rechten Schubhebel, der gangbar war, im Leerlauf beließen. Nach einem Fehlanflug landete die Maschine kurz auf der Landebahn 28 des Flughafens Kigali. Der Kapitän ließ die Maschine zum Vorfeld rollen und schaltete Triebwerk Nr. 2 ab, während sich Triebwerk Nr. 1 nicht abschalten ließ und bei hohem Schub verblieb. Schließlich ließ der Kapitän die Maschine zu ihrer zugewiesenen Parkposition rollen. Nachdem die Maschine zum Stehen gekommen war, diskutierte die Cockpitbesatzung mit dem Techniker das Problem mit dem nicht abzuschaltenden Triebwerk und eruierte Möglichkeiten, die Maschine zu evakuieren. Kurz darauf erhielten sie eine Warnung bezüglich einer sich überhitzenden Parkbremse. Schließlich setzte sich die Maschine nach 76 Sekunden des Stillstandes just in dem Moment in Bewegung, als Mitglieder der Bodencrew sich ihr näherten, um Unterlegkeile vor die Fahrwerksräder zu legen. Die CRJ100 rollte los und durchschlug nach einigen Metern einen Begrenzungszaun, woraufhin das vordere Fahrwerk zusammenbrach. Die Piloten schafften es noch, die Maschine scharf nach rechts von einer Maschine der Kenya Airways, die zum Start vorbereitet wurde, wegzulenken. Nach 500 Metern stieß die Maschine gegen die östliche Wand des VIP-Terminals und bohrte sich bis zum hinteren Ende des linken Haupteinstiegs in das Terminalgebäude.

Rettungsaktion
Unmittelbar nach dem Aufprall leiteten die Flugbegleiterinnen die Evakuierung der Maschine ein. Die linke Haupttür war blockiert. Die Passagiere verließen die Maschine durch die rechte Haupteinstiegstür sowie die Notausstiege über den Tragflächen. Insgesamt wurden 10 Personen an Bord und im Terminal verletzt. Eine ruandische Passagierin erlitt schwere Verletzungen, an denen sie bei der Einlieferung in das Krankenhaus von Kigali verstarb. Unter den Verletzten waren auch die beiden Piloten. Die Erste Offizierin war nach dem Aufprall drei Stunden im Cockpit der Maschine eingeschlossen. Ein Krankenwagen, der einen verletzten Piloten zum Krankenhaus überführte, kollidierte auf dem Weg dorthin mit zwei Motorrädern und Fußgängern. Ein Fußgänger starb infolge dieses Ereignisses.
Ein Passagier hatte zwei gebrochene Rippen und eine Lungenverletzung, sechs Passagiere wurden nach einer eingehenden Untersuchung aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen. Auch die beiden Flugbegleiterinnen wurden nach einer eingehenden Untersuchung entlassen. Der Kapitän hatte ein gebrochenes Bein, die erste Offizierin einen gebrochenen Knöchel, der Mechaniker hatte Prellungen und verblieb zur Beobachtung im Krankenhaus.

Unfalluntersuchung
Die Unfalluntersuchung wurde durch die Luftfahrtaufsichtsbehörde durchgeführt. Die Auswertung des Flugdatenschreibers ergab, dass der Triebwerksschub von Triebwerk Nr. 1 konstant 95 Prozent betragen hatte, während jener von Triebwerk Nr. 2 zwischen 28 und 88 Prozent variierte. Bei der Landung hatte die Maschine einen Triebwerksschub von 95 Prozent links und 27 Prozent rechts. Der konstant hohe Schub in Triebwerk Nr. 1 hatte sich ergeben, nachdem sich das Seil, das den Schubhebel mit dem Triebwerk verband, kurz nach der Auswahl des Startschubs gelöst hatte. Die Piloten hatten nicht in Erwägung gezogen, Handbücher und Checklisten für den Umgang mit dem Schubhebelproblem zur Hilfe heranzuziehen. Nach der Landung sei die Maschine auf dem Vorfeld zum Stehen gebracht worden, wobei das Triebwerk Nr. 1 weiterhin hohen Schub geliefert habe. Während die Piloten das Problem mit dem Triebwerk diskutierten, habe die Fahrwerksbremse überhitzt und in der Folge die Bremskraft nachgelassen.

Es wurde festgestellt, dass die Maschine am 10. November 2009 einer Wartung unterzogen worden war. Hierbei musste die Triebwerksabdeckung geöffnet werden. Der Flugzeugmechaniker, der die Abdeckung als letztes verschloss, war mit dem Schließmechanismus vertraut. Ob er diese korrekt montiert hat, konnte nicht bestätigt werden. Seit der letzten Wartung bis zum Unfall war die Maschine 4,6 Stunden in Betrieb und war innerhalb dieser Zeit sechs Flugabschnitte geflogen.

Es wurde festgestellt, dass der Sicherungsbolzen der Triebwerksabdeckung sich, kurz nachdem die Piloten beim Start vollen Schub gaben, gelöst hatte. Es wurde vermutet, dass dieser nicht korrekt montiert worden war und sich durch Vibrationen des Triebwerks löste. Der entsicherte Bolzen blockierte die Regulierung der Treibstoffzufuhr zum Triebwerk, wodurch sich dessen Leistung nicht auf herkömmlichem Wege drosseln ließ.

Gemäß der Checkliste hätten die Piloten in solch einem Fall das Triebwerk herunterfahren müssen, indem sie den Druckknopf für die Triebwerkslöschanlage betätigten. Auf diese Weise wäre die Treibstoffzufuhr zu dem Triebwerk abgeschnitten und die Landung erleichtert worden.

What waste of wealth to gild a moth's frail wings!
And we, in love, forever kiss His feet.
Lord, the whole world will acknowledge You as King.
CQOD: 12/29/07 -- Brainerd: how precious is time!
[Jesus:] I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains me to see it slide away, while I do so little to any good purpose. Oh, that God would make me more fruitful and spiritual.
Fill Your people, Lord, that we may display the fruits of Your Spirit.
The most thrilling thing you can ever do is win someone to Christ. And it's contagious. Once you do it, you don't want to stop.
Send me, Lord, to do Your will.
The light shines in the darknessCandles are always popular for giving a warm romantic glow and this time of year they are to be seen on many different occasions. Of course a candle is easy to blow out! So much so that its flickering light was chosen by Shakespeare as a picture of the transitory nature of life. Out out brief candle! Darkness is a reminder of evil, for it is in the darkness that people get lost, stumble and fall. It is in the darkness that power is misused, corruption reigns and evil is done. It is easy to imagine that in the end evil will triumph and the light will disappear. Situations change. Familiar landmarks—like this magazine!—disappear. There is the unrelenting pressure of a vanity fair society. The candle burns down and gives a thin wisp of smoke before going out. But there are also the special party candles that keep bursting back into life. They are a much better picture of the light of the gospel! For though they have been numerous attempts down the centuries to extinguish the light, it has kept on bursting back into flame. The light of Christ keeps on shining. New ways of sharing the good news come along. New believers are attracted to his light. Sleepy Christians are re-awakened. Fresh discoveries give even more confidence in the truth of the Bible. The light keeps on shining in the darkness. It is a statement and a promise at the same time. It isn't that once the light shone, but rather, that in the present it shines, and it will do so in the future as well. For the light comes from the one who is, as well as who was, and is also the one who is to come.
Lord, my light within is only darkness; I truly see by Your light alone.
When [Herod] had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written: 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'"
Lord, You are our Shepherd still.
The star-led wizards haste with odors sweet!
Lord, You are worthy of any gift I can give You.
This is a time when we certainly pay close attention to our physical reality, as we celebrate and eat with family and friends. For us, to be a person is to have a body, to sustain it, to experience pleasure through it, and to have grown within it. At Christmas dinners, I have often recalled in recent years that Jesus, after His resurrection, demonstrated His return to a bodily condition by eating with the disciples.
The Nativity was the start of that condition. The Son of God, begotten by the Father, submitted to the most human of conditions, being born of woman, being a helpless baby, then a child, then a teenager, and then a young man, learning, growing, and eating. When life was restored to Him after the crucifixion, He was still a man.
Paul, Peter, and John all emphasize that Jesus came "in the flesh." In that respect, He is like us. While He was in the manger, we could look on Him and love Him, for He was made from dust like us. From the cross, Jesus looked on us and loved us, for we were made for eternal life like His.
May the Lord of Peace remain with you and your family in the days to come.

Johnny Belinda (1948 film)
Johnny Belinda is a 1948 American drama film based on the 1940 Broadway stage hit of the same name, by Elmer Blaney Harris. The play was adapted for the screen by writers Allen Vincent and Irma von Cube, and directed by Jean Negulesco.

September 14, 1948 (1948-09-14)
$1,631,000[1]
$4.1 million (US/ Canada rentals)[2][3] or $6,987,000[1]
The story is based on an actual incident that happened near Harris's summer residence in Fortune Bridge, Bay Fortune, Prince Edward Island. The title character is based on the real-life Lydia Dingwell (1852–1931), of Dingwells Mills, Prince Edward Island. The film dramatizes the consequences of spreading lies and rumors, and the horror of rape. The latter subject had previously been prohibited by the Motion Picture Production Code. Johnny Belinda is widely considered to be the first Hollywood film for which the restriction was relaxed, and as such was controversial at the time of its initial release.
The film stars Jane Wyman, Lew Ayres, Charles Bickford, Agnes Moorehead, Stephen McNally, and Jan Sterling. Wyman's performance earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress.
It was filmed on location in Fort Bragg, California.[4]
The film is the story of a deaf-mute young woman, Belinda MacDonald (Jane Wyman), who is befriended by the new doctor, Dr. Robert Richardson (Lew Ayres), who comes to Cape Breton Island on the east coast of Canada. The doctor realizes that, although she cannot hear or speak, Belinda is very intelligent. She lives on a farm with her father, Black MacDonald (Charles Bickford), and her aunt, Aggie MacDonald (Agnes Moorehead), wears plain work clothes, rarely goes into town, and only once to church. The family sells farm goods to the nearby town, mainly flour. Her father and aunt called Belinda "Dummy" and resent her because her mother died giving birth to her. Dr. Richardson teaches Belinda sign language and the signs for many common things and ideas. Over time, his affection for her grows. He buys her a pretty dress and encourages her father to take her to town and church.
Dr. Richardson's secretary, Stella (Jan Sterling), is attracted to him and tries to get his attention, but the doctor does not reciprocate her feelings. After Stella figures out that he is becoming attracted to Belinda, she starts to resent both of them.
One of the family's customers, Locky McCormick (Stephen McNally), gets drunk at a dance, leaves the dance, and goes to the farm when Belinda is alone and rapes her. This results in her pregnancy, which is diagnosed by another doctor to whom Dr. Richardson had brought her for audiology testing. Belinda gives birth at home to a healthy baby boy, whom she names Johnny. The people in town begin to shun the MacDonald family and Dr. Richardson, as they suspect he is the father of Belinda's child because he has spent a lot of time with her. Dr. Richardson tells Black that he is willing to marry Belinda in order to quiet town gossip. Black rejects this idea, as he knows that Dr. Richardson does not truly love Belinda, but merely pities her.
Locky goes to the MacDonald farm under the pretense of purchasing ground barley, but really wants to get a look at baby Johnny. When Black sees him, he orders Locky to leave. Locky inadvertently implies to Black that he is the father of the child. Black follows Locky and threatens to expose him to the town. They have a fight on a seaside cliff and Locky throws Black off the cliff into the sea, killing him.
Belinda and her aunt Aggie try to run the farm but they are struggling to pay the bills and keep the farm running. The town, at the urging of Locky, has a meeting and declares Belinda "unfit" to care for the child. When Locky and Stella (who by now are married) come to take Johnny, Belinda first makes Stella realize that she is smarter than the townspeople have given her credit for. She also makes it clear by gestures that she will not give up her baby without a fight. Stella confronts Locky, who confesses that the child is his. He then tries to retrieve the baby, but, despite Belinda's efforts to stop him, he manages to make his way upstairs to the room where Johnny is. However, before Locky can unlock the door, Belinda uses a shotgun to shoot and kill Locky. Belinda is arrested and goes on trial for murder. At the trial, Dr. Richardson testifies that she was protecting her property and family. The court dismisses this as the doctor's love for her, and is ready to sentence Belinda to execution, but finally Stella blurts out that her husband Locky had confessed the truth about the rape to her on the day he was killed. Belinda is set free, and she, Johnny, and Dr. Richardson leave together.

The film was a huge financial success, earning $4,266,000 domestically and $2,721,000 foreign.[1]
Contemporary reviews were positive. Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote that while some of the scenes "were pretty lurid, especially towards the end," that "the best of the film is absorbing, and Miss Wyman, all the way through, plays her role in a manner which commands compassion and respect."[5] Variety called it "somber, tender, [and] moving," with Wyman's performance "a personal success."[6] John McCarten of The New Yorker thought the screenplay was "far superior" to the script of the original play, and that the actors were "all convincing, particularly Jane Wyman, who is cast as the badgered heroine."[7] The Monthly Film Bulletin called it "a memorable film in which Jane Wyman's performance as Belinda is outstanding."[8] "A powerful dramatic entertainment," wrote Harrison's Reports. "The direction, acting, and photography are of a superior quality, but the outstanding thing about the picture is the exceptionally fine performance by Jane Wyman, an acting job that will undoubtedly make her a foremost contender for the Academy Award."[9]
The film was the second most popular movie at the British box office in 1948.[10]
Content aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports an 89% "Fresh" rating based on 8 out of 9 surveyed critics giving the film a positive review.[11]

Sometimes an answer lies in history, recent and ancient. Often we become entrenched in false belief and defend that stance vehemently. Perhaps that action is easier than learning new stuff. It is difficult to invest a lot of time learning about something only to have the old facts dashed by new information. This may be more painful if you are the one having researched the old info for your career or passed that info to a lot of clients. Wrong doesn't sit well. An Alternative Approach to Allergies is the title of one of Theron Randolph's books. He is the father of clinical ecology. The intro, if nothing else, by Ralph Moss, is a telling story of medical entrenchment, or being stuck in the mud. We have seen it repeatedly, always to the public's detriment. One may suggest this politic is going on presently in the field of gluten syndrome and related diseases. Supposedly Randolph lived grain free and talked about it in one of his books. I am looking for that book. My only Randolph book has been loaned out and I no longer have it. If anyone has any ideas on this please let me know. I have clients who cannot tolerate gluten free foods for various reasons but need to be gluten free. The solution to this situation has some degree of urgency. If someone has an idea about this I would like to know it.

In the grand scheme of things you actually receive a B+ just for effort and hard work. Where you lost me personally ended up being on all the facts. As they say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn't be more accurate right here. Having said that, let me say to you what exactly did deliver the results. The writing is definitely highly persuasive which is probably why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, although I can see the jumps in logic you make, I am not convinced of how you seem to unite the points which in turn help to make your conclusion. For right now I will, no doubt yield to your issue but wish in the future you link the facts better.
Simply wish to say your article is as astonishing. The clarity in your post is just nice and i can assume you are an expert on this subject. Fine with your permission allow me to grab your RSS feed to keep up to date with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please carry on the rewarding work.
Hello.This article was really interesting, particularly because I was investigating for thoughts on this topic last week.
Thanks for your post, write some more.
Good day very cool site!! Guy .. Excellent .. Wonderful .. I'll bookmark your web site and take the feeds also…I'm glad to find so many helpful information right here in the submit, we'd like work out extra techniques on this regard, thank you for sharing.
Struck a chord with your post, many thanks.
Distinctive editorial you've here. I did a write up personally on this matter some time in the past, and I wish I had your written piece as a supply of knowledge again then. Oh well. Thanks again for this piece of content.

Ethan Bear Making The Most Of His Chance
As the Edmonton Oilers likely head toward an early offseason, they have chosen to showcase some of their prospects and give them the opportunity to play and prove their worth at the NHL level. So far, Ethan Bear has taken this chance and run with it.
In his short time with the team so far, Bear has played and impressed to the point where he could seriously compete for a roster spot heading into next season.
Selected in the fifth round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Bear was somewhat of a sleeper pick, who hadn't garnered a lot of attention but was still a solid performer who showed a lot of potential and room for growth. In his pre-draft year, Bear registered 13 goals and 25 points in 69 games for the Seattle Thunderbirds.
After being drafted as a prospective puck-moving, right-handed defender, Bear immediately made himself more prominent through the 2015-16 campaign, putting up 19 goals and 65 points in 69 games. He went on to help the Thunderbirds reach the WHL championship, scoring eight goals and 22 points in 18 games in an impressive postseason.
His performance earned him an entry-level contract from Edmonton in the 2016 offseason, and the following year, he continued to show his growth with a 70-point campaign, and he led Seattle to a WHL championship title with 26 points through their 2018 playoff run.
Coming into this season, the 20-year-old made the jump to the AHL, and despite making the jump to a higher, tougher level, he has been able to keep up with the pace and still garner the attention of the Oilers' front office. He has been one of their main factors on the power play this season and despite getting injured early in the season, he has still managed to put up strong numbers and become a vital member of the Condors' defense corps, registering six goals and 16 points through 34 games.
Bear's impressive performance and ability to play well beyond his years, as well as his puck-moving acumen and offensive playing style, earned him a call-up from Edmonton on March 1. He hails from Ochapowace First Nation in Saskatchewan, and his call-up makes him one of just six NHL players of Indigenous descent.
Given the Oilers' lack of success and blue line woes, including injuries and lack of chemistry between defencemen, it made sense for the team to showcase him and give him a chance to prove his worth.
In seven games with Edmonton so far, the 5-foot-11, 209-pound has registered two assists, which have come in the last four games, as well as five hits, nine blocks and five takeaways for three giveaways. As he continues to slot into the lineup, Bear has also seen his playing time significantly increase, as he now averages 18:13 TOI per game; he also played around 21 minutes in the Oilers' 1-0 loss to Calgary Tuesday. Bear as even seen time on the power play.
"A lot of young players come in early with energy and excitement and perform really well and it tends to fall off," head coach Todd McLellan told the Edmonton Sun. "[Bear] hasn't shown signs of that."
Heading into the offseason, Edmonton will likely continue to give Bear playing time to not only utilize his skills but to also evaluate his competitiveness and ability to play at the NHL level. In the offseason, the Oilers are likely to part ways with pending UFA Yohann Auvitu, which gives Bear the opportunity to come in and compete for a full-time spot on the Edmonton roster. For now, though, he's a prospect making the most of an opportunity.

The flowers for this wedding were crazy awesome, if I do say so myself. Rob and I went to the wholesale flower market on Friday and loaded up the entire back seat of the car. Dressed shabby and paying cash, I scored some great deals when vendors assumed I had a professional badge.
Our final arrangements included: dahlias of all colors, zinnias, yellow heirloom roses, orange spray roses, french marigolds, tuberose, orange firecrackers, blue thistles, black eyed susans, three kinds of ferns, cornflowers, some red spiky thing, equisetum and ornamental chili peppers.
With many helpers, we turned under $300 worth of flowers into 5 bouquets, 15 bouteneirs and corsages and 20 lush centerpieces. And had a lot of fun doing it! All the flowers survived the night just fine and were a great conversation piece at the wedding the next day.
Well done Jean and congratulations to the happy couple! I'm going to hold off with more details from the wedding until the professional photos arrive.
Love Love all of the photos and details from Jean's wedding!! Can't wait to see more.
Beautiful. We did something similar for my wedding and it was everything I wanted and more. I am loving the photos of Jean's wedding!
How and where did you store the flowers until the wedding?

Glacier Saga
From Climate Etc.
by Judith Curry
The loss of glaciers from Glacier National Park is one of the most visible manifestations of climate change in the U.S. Signs were posted all around the park, proclaiming that the glaciers would be gone by 2020. In 2017, the Park started taking these signs down. What happened, beyond the obvious fact that the glaciers hadn't disappeared by 2020?
Not only are Montana's glaciers an important icon for global warming (e.g. Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth), it also seems that the glaciers are an important political icon for progressive politicians in Montana. Earlier this week, Reilly Neill, a (sort of) politician in Montana, went after me on Twitter:
A number of progressive academic types are leaving twitter owing to Elon Musk's takeover. What??? And miss all this fun???
Well, it just so happens that I have some analyses of Montana glaciers and climate in my archives; maybe I can help Reilly (and the "real scientists of Montana") understand what is going on.
Variability of glaciers in Glacier National Park
The total area of Glacier National Park covered by glaciers shrank 70% from the1850s to 2015, according to US Geological Survey. Melting began at the end of the Little Ice Age (circa 1850) when scientists believe 146 glaciers covered the region, as opposed to 26 in 2019.
The first surveys of glaciers in Glacier National Park began in the 1880s, with most of the focus on the two largest glaciers – Grinnell and Sperry. A 2017 publication issued by the U.S. Geological Survey entitled Status of Glaciers in Glacier National Park [link] includes a table of the areal extent of named glaciers in the Glacier National Park since the Little Ice Age (LIA) with markers at LIA, 1966, 1998, 2005 and 2015. Analysis of these data show:
A ~50% loss from LIA to 1966 (~115 years), averaging a loss of ~4.5% per decade.
Additional ~12% loss from 1966-98 (32 years), averaging a loss of ~3.7% per decade.
Additional ~4.75% loss from 1998-2015 (17 years), averaging a loss of ~2.8% per decade.
Much of the glacier loss occurred prior to 1966, when fossil-fueled warming was minimal. The percentage rate of glacier loss during this early period substantially exceeded the percentage rate of loss observed in the 21st century. I suspect that much of this melting occurred in the 1930's (see next section).
Looking much further back, Glacier National Park was virtually ice free 11,000 years ago. Glaciers have been present within the boundaries of present-day Glacier National Park since about 6,500 years ago. [link] These glaciers have varied in size, tracking climatic variations, but did not grow to their recent maximum size until the end of the Little Ice Age, around 1850. An 80-year period (~1770-1840) of cool, wet summers and above-average winter snowfall led to a rapid growth of glaciers just prior to the end of the Little Ice Age. So, the recent loss of glacier mass must be understood in light of the fact the glaciers reached their largest mass for the past 11,000 years during the 19th century. [link]
The USGS hasn't updated its glacial survey since 2015 (gotta wonder why, with the huge losses they were expecting). While the loss between 1998 and 2015 has decreased relative to prior decades, it appears that the ice loss has actually stalled or slightly reversed since 2008 [link] This stall caused the Glacier National Park in 2017 to start taking down the signs that expected the glaciers to disappear by 2020.
So, what is going on?
The areal extent and mass balance of glaciers depends in the interplay between snow accumulation during the cold season and the glacier melting during summer. There is no prima facie reason that slow warming of the average annual surface temperatures will cause net loss of glacier area/mass. There are strong interannual and multidecadal variations in the amount of snowfall, and in some situations warmer winter temperatures can be associated with more snowfall. The summer melt season is quite short. The timing of the quixotic, weather-driven seasonal transition from snow to rainfall is a key determinant of the onset of the melt season and hence its duration. During summer, the diurnal timing and overall amount of cloudiness can make a big difference in how much melting occurs. And finally, soot associated with air pollution can provide a substantial accelerant for glacier melting; this is a huge issue for the Hindu-Kush-Himalayan glaciers, but I don't see any reference to soot in context of Glacier National Park.
You will not be surprised to learn that ENSO, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) influence the atmospheric circulation patterns that influence both the cold season snow accumulation and summertime melt (For an overview see LINK )
Lets first look at snow. For the period of instrumental snow measurements in Montana since 1955, there has been an overall declining trend in April snowpack in Montana during the period 1955-2015. However, since 2016, most of the last 7 years have shown normal to above normal spring snowpack across Montana. [link] This behavior reflects the variable nature of climate on both seasonal and decadal scales.
To extend understanding of past snowpack behavior, paleoclimate records have been developed to supplement the modern data pool. These records include lake sediment and tree ring data. An important study focused on the American West was published in 2011, providing a data record over 500 years. [LINK] This length of record revealed climate variability on century scales including features like The Little Ice Age. The study also demonstrated more short-term climatic features that show different anomalies between the northern and southern Rockies. Of particular relevance, the study identified a snow drought during the 1930s in the Greater Yellowstone Region (Montana) that is similar to low values seen toward the end of the 20th century.
Now consider summertime temperatures. Shown here are Montana state averages from the NOAA State Climate Summary for Montana (2022).[link] While the two decades in the 21st century have overall been the warmest for Montana since 1900, there has been no trend in extreme summer temperatures. Montana's warmest summer temperatures were in the 1930s.
The number of very hot days (≥95 oF) and warm nights (≥70 oF) was highest in the 1930s.
Any surprise here if glacial retreat was particularly strong in the 1930's?
Montana's cold winters
The "greed" part of Reilly Neill's twitter rant seems to have something to do with fossil fuels. If there is ever a place you might want to be kept warm by fossil fuels (or nuclear), Montana during winter is it. Montana is one of the coldest states in the U.S. Of particular concern are wintertime "Arctic outbreaks," which occur multiple times each winter with varying magnitudes and durations. "Arctic outbreaks" periodically bring exceptionally cold temperatures to large regions of the continental U.S., even in this era of global warming.
A little known JC biographical fact is that Arctic cold air outbreaks and the formation of cold-core anticyclones was the topic of my PhD thesis). [link] [link]
An exceptionally cold outbreak occurred in Montana during February and March 2019, with similar outbreaks in 2014 and 2017. In February 2019, average temperature departures from normal in Montana were as much as 27 to 28 oF below normal, with Great Falls at the heart of the cold. Temperatures did not rise above 0 oF on 11 days and dropped to 0 oF or below on 24 nights. While the cold in February was remarkable for its persistence, the subsequent Arctic blast in early March 2019 delivered the coldest temperatures. Almost two dozen official stations in Montana broke monthly records, with an all-time record state low temperature for March of -46F. [link]
I can't even imagine what it would be like to be without electric power and household heating under such cold conditions. Apart from freezing and figuring out how to keep warm, water pipes would be frozen; not just a lack of potable water, but massive property damage once the pipes thaw.
Fortunately, Montana has a reliable power system with about 50% renewables (mostly hydro) with most of the rest produced by coal. There is a nontrivial contingent in Montana that is seeking 100% renewable power (hydro, wind, solar).
In addition to exceptional power demand for residential heating during such Arctic outbreaks, any power generation from renewables is at a minimum during such periods. Montana's solar and hydropower capacity are at their lowest during winter. While winter winds are generally strong, the Arctic cold air outbreaks are accompanied by large regions of high pressure that are called cold-core anticyclones The nature of these circulations is that wind speeds are very low within the high pressure system, resulting in very low amounts of wind power production.
While Arctic outbreaks generally impact the northern Great Plains states the worst, the spatial extent of these outbreaks can be very large. The cold outbreak during February 2021 that impacted Montana also covered half of the U.S. and extended down to Texas, where massive power outages ensued that resulted in considerable loss of life. The large horizontal scale of these high pressure systems indicates that remote transmission of excess energy from someplace else is not going to be of much help if much of the continent is also suffering from cold temperatures and low winds. The long duration of these events makes battery storage hugely infeasible. The options are nuclear, gas and coal.
Nothing is simple when it comes to understanding the causes of climate change impacts. The key to understanding is to look at the longest data records available, and try to interpret the causes of the historical and paleo variability. Once you understand the natural variability, you aren't so prone to attributing everything to fossil-fueled warming and making naïve predictions of the future. And once you understand weather variability and extremes, you won't be so enthusiastic about renewable energy.
I hope that this little exposition helps Reilly Neill and the real scientists of Montana understand the causes of the recent variations in Montana's glaciers.

Sounds like they will continue to claim the glaciers are disappearing due to fossil fuels but hope that people forget the "settled science" says they are already gone.
PS "Fortunately, Montana has a reliable power system with about 50% renewables (mostly hydro) with most of the rest produced by coal. There is a nontrivial contingent in Montana that is seeking 100% renewable power (hydro, wind, solar)."
Why is it where hydro is already in place they claim it's "renewable" yet none of the enviros are proposing building more dams? Padding their success numbers?

Envirowhackos in Washington State have proposed getting rid of all the dams.
The Climate Howlers are discussing two new plans to make those pesky glaciers climate change boogeymen again:
(1) Gradually paint the glaciers the same color as the surrounding mountains so it looks like they are melting, or
(2) Change the signs to: "These Glaciers Will Be Gone By 2030"

"There are strong interannual and multidecadal variations in the amount of snowfall, and in some situations warmer winter temperatures can be associated with more snowfall. The summer melt season is quite short. "
The same should be expected for the polar ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland. Gaining and shrinking ice is more a function of snow fall than temperature.

In all of my science classes, I never once learned about the "stealth edit" being part of the scientific method.
Yet, that is exactly what the USGS did by removing the "disappearing glacier" signs.
Being wrong while making a scientific prediction based on the data is a common occurrence.
However, REAL scientists would re-evaluate the most recent data, and then add signs that showed why their previous predictions were in error. These "scientists" and park workers did the opposite and performed a stealth edit.
QED, they are anti-scientists!
It doesnot add up
Reply to pillageidiot
Someone should erect a sign with a photo of the historic sign, with the legend "Science used to think that these glaciers would be gone by 2020. The science was wrong"
The one thing you can rely on these days is that the UN and the IPCC predictions are ALWAYS WRONG and the Alarmunists, undeterred, take political advantage of it.
Sometimes I think the UN et al. deliberately gets it wrong to advance it agenda to destroy Capitalism. Am I falling victim to a Conspiracy theory here? Surely the UN being a pillar of rectitude would not stoop so low? /s

The northern latitudes, comprising half of the United States, are areas in which solar will never actually break even. It's just too much of a failure in the colder seasons. It's joke to do any solar in Canada.
That leaves only wind and that, as pointed out above, also fails during cold snaps. In addition, wind turbines need to be electrically heated during these periods, the blades can ice up, and chunks of ice can be thrown great distances.
This is all ignoring that the wind footprint and infrastructure is 5 to 10 times that of coal and nuclear. Such a waste of valuable materials, most of which cannot be recycled after their 12 to 15-year useful lifetime. Decentralized energy such a wind also makes maintenance super expensive, even on land.

That's easy! It doesn't pay!
It sure is looking like at least some of those glaciers will be growing now. They really got plastered up there and the temps are not expected to get above freezing for some time to come.
I lived for a short time in Billings MT in the mid-1970's working environmental regulation issues for the coal industry, later moving to the Oregon/Washington region of the US Northwest working in nuclear.
Sometimes while driving along what's called the 'High Line' along US Highway 2 in northern Montana, I would occasionally see a bumper sticker which read, Cool it in Cut Bank. These Montanans sure knew where it was they were living.
The big coal-fired plants which were built in the northern Rocky Mountain states in the late 1960's and early 1970's are now targeted for closure by the Biden administration, with strong support from the region's climate activists, of whom there are many. Reilly Neill is fairly typical of these activists.
The legacy coal plants are forty to fifty years old. Some have already been retired and some are still attached to the Western Interconnect. Given the current hostile regulatory environment, no one in their right mind would spend serious money on maintaining and upgrading the remaining plants.
Between 2010 and 2020, it was public policy that all these northern plains coal plants would eventually be replaced by gas-fired generation. But in 2022, gas fired generation is now off the table as a public policy option.
What the great majority of those who live in the US Northwest and in the northern plains states don't realize is that no combination of wind, solar, and nuclear can come close to replacing the coal plants now targeted for closure. Not within the next fifty years, anyway.
Reply to Beta Blocker
The coal fired plants in Colstrip have been shut down for a while now.
While Biden's (and Obama's) war on coal is partly responsible for the demise of coal fired plants, a major reason has been that a CCGT plant running on natural gas was cheaper to build and operate than a coal fired plant. This may not quite true now with LNG exports and Biden's war on frac'ing driving up natural gas prices.
FWIW, I have family spread all over Montana and JC is right that renewables are far from ready to handle a Montana winter.

Reilly wouldn't know a "real scientist" if he or she came up and bit her. A former cook and longtime bootstraps publisher with no significant science education (or much of any education for that matter), she is foolishly emboldened enough to spar with the likes of Dr. Judith Curry. She says she once took a course from a climate activist professor, so of course she is now credentialed to pontificate on such matters.
Hatter Eggburn
Since 2016 earth's length of day has been getting shorter. This means it is probable that polar ice mass is increasing, especially in Antarctica. The Jacobshavn glacier in Greenland reversed from retreat to advance around that time.
Yet another great piece by Judith Curry. There was a high altitude study in Montana
over the past decade that I found interesting.–>

The scientists are also finding that the high country wasn't the same as we now see it. Old whitebark pine stumps have been dated to 1,100 to 2,100 years ago in places that are now 500 feet above where trees are growing now, Guenther said.
"These were happy, well-fed whitebark pine," he said.
It might have been warmer during that time, at least to me.
"An 80-year period (~1770-1840) of cool, wet summers and above-average winter snowfall led to a rapid growth of glaciers just prior to the end of the Little Ice Age. "
A wonderful period. It is to be hoped that we will soon experience this wonderful time again.

Quote from Judith Curry:
"The USGS hasn't updated its glacial survey since 2015 […]. While the loss between 1998 and 2015 has decreased relative to prior decades, it appears that the ice loss has actually stalled or slightly reversed since 2008."
I have not the slightest Idea why Judith Curry is spreading alternative facts here:
USGS is measuring glacier mass balance at Sperry glacier in Glacier National Park since 2005. So JC should read the USGS Reports rather than Roger Roots when she wants to write about GNP glaciers.
Here are the facts which shows that the GNP bench mark glacier is performing different to the statement cited above.
No "ice loss has actually stalled or slightly reversed since 2008"
The link to the graph is taken from WGMS glacier fluctuation browser

WGMS and USGS web pages provide enough information on glacier fluctuation. So JC could have done better in her post here.

According to the study, the total market for thermal insulation products in Europe stood at 254 million m3 in 2016 (8.0 million t), with growth forecast at a CAGR of 2.5 % to 2021. This equates to an approximate market value of just under EUR 16 billion in 2016. The 2017 market is estimated at 259 million m3, a 2 % rise over 2016.
Western Europe accounted for 58 % of the European thermal insulation consumption, and the market is forecast to show modest growth at a CAGR of 2.0 % to 2021. Eastern Europe continues to drive growth with a CAGR of 4.2 % forecast to 2021, with Turkey the main driver due to heightened activity in residential construction. In Central Europe, the Hungarian and Romanian markets are also experiencing strong growth as both economies continue to flourish with increased expenditure to improve housing stock and infrastructure.
Although the construction industry has remained relatively subdued since the financial crisis in 2008, concerns over improved energy efficiency in buildings and rising energy prices have boosted demand for thermal insulation materials. Regulatory authorities are highlighting the importance of minimising heat loss through the building envelope and are adopting legislation encouraging zero energy buildings. Retrofit construction is now also regulated and minimum energy performance standards have been set, which are a key driver for thermal insulation materials. Commercial and domestic buildings continue to represent the bulk of the demand at 86 % for thermal insulation materials in Europe, with the overall use in industrial applications remaining considerably smaller at 14 % of the market.
Glass wool and stone wool are well established in the market – combined, they represent 58 % of the European thermal insulation market. Manufacturers are promoting their 'natural' fire protection characteristics and lobbying against the use of other plastic foam insulation materials, especially EPS. Whilst EPS remains a very popular material in external wall insulation in much of the region, EPS consumption in many Western European countries has started suffering because of its behaviour in the case of fire. This is not necessarily the case in Eastern Europe, where the lower price of EPS continues to favour its use in construction. Tougher requirements demanded for thermal insulation materials are increasing the thickness of these materials. Polyurethanes offer a competitive advantage as, compared to other materials, thinner thicknesses are required to produce similar insulating properties.
"The European Market for Thermal Insulation Products" is available from IAL Consultants. Prices start at EUR 1,100 for single country volumes, the whole report is priced at EUR 8,000.

In a Parking Space Lease Agreement, although it's important that both parties agree, it is normally the landlord, who is the person or company leasing out the space, establishing ground rules on liability for the tenant, who is the person renting the space. In a Parking Space Lease Agreement, some common clauses are for the landlord to make clear that they are not liable for any damage to the vehicle or items inside the vehicle, and hold the lessee responsible for any damage to the premises.
You can use this document if you are an owner of a parking building, facility or space looking to rent it out for drivers. Here, you'll be able to fill in the pertinent details of the agreement and let the lessee know the information they need, such as how to access the space and whether or not attendants will be present.
You may also use this document if you are looking to rent a parking space in a building, facility or lot that doesn't belong to you, where the owner may not have a lease document ready to go. As the owner of the vehicle, you'll want to know that you are protected from getting towed and that you are legally on solid ground with a lease document for parking in your space on a regular basis.
It doesn't matter whether you are the person leasing out the space or the person renting it - for both parties, it is a good idea to have everything written down.
Ideally, you should have this document signed before any use of the parking space. Disputes can arise at any time, but they are more likely to be worked out easily if the parties have a clear, executed lease before the relationship begins.
This agreement is governed by the principles of general contract law.
Certain municipalities may also have by-laws regulation or prohibiting the rental of parking space.

We look at everyday life and our desire to please God, while learning how to focus on the promise that God's grace is always at work, even during our struggles. We talk about problems and issues, and in the midst of them we look for signs of God's grace, which opens the door to our deepest desires and longings.
A Spiritual Director's job is to direct your focus back to the present and presence of God in your life – away from the rabbits we chase and the distractions that get us off of God's path – back to a place where we can hear what He is saying. A good Spiritual Director will help you untangle God's holiness from your desires, so you can learn how to discern whether following your desires would lead you toward finding God's grace.
As a good mirror reflects an image, a good Spiritual Director clarifies what the other person is saying. This is especially true if you may not be fully aware of the implications of what you say. God is at work in your relationships with other people, in your relationships with your work, with your body, with institutions, with groups to which you belong, and with things that just happen to you. In Spiritual Direction, you can talk about whatever is going on in your life, because that is where God lives and works. Spiritual Direction can guide you to a more meaningful prayer life and help you discern the grace of God, through His Holy Spirit, as you wander with good directions down the path of everyday life.


On June 7, Santa Rosa's Railroad Square will play host to an absolutely free festival featuring some of the Bay Area's brightest Americana and folk artists, including The Brothers Comatose, T Sisters, and the lineup's newest addition, The Sam Chase. The Railroad Square Music Festival is yet another production of The North Bay Hootenanny and its director Josh Windmiller, who also happens to front The Crux and who recently played a solo gig at the latest installment of Fog City Songwriters at Viracocha.
The event is the culmination of Windmiller's love for all things Santa Rosa. "I have lived in Santa Rosa my entire life, and I have come to treasure the gifts of our local musicians and the traveling performers who have repeatedly made it a priority to visit our special community," he says on the festival's website. "So I invite you to come to my festival, where city streets are transformed into stages and dance floors, where the music is free, and where friends and family can enjoy an unforgettable spring day together in the heart of Santa Rosa."
Not many scenes could sound more enticing to a Bay Area music fan. So head on up to Santa Rosa on June 7, soak in a bit of that beautiful North Bay sun, and see some of the finest local folk artists – for absolutely nothing. See the full lineup here, and then watch The Brothers Comatose play their track "Knoxville Foxhole" for NRP's Tiny Desk Concert Contest below.

Q: Unable to build an Ionic/Angular app after packages upgrade I've upgraded Ionic and angular packages to the latest version and unable to run ionic build
my dependencies are:
 "@angular/core": "~10.1.4",
 "ionic-angular": "^3.9.10",

And the error I'm getting when trying to build is below:
node_modules/ionic-angular/umd/components/item/item-divider.d.ts:1:22 - error TS2724: Module '"../../../../@angular/core/core"' has no exported member 'Renderer'. Did you mean 'Renderer2'?

1 import { ElementRef, Renderer } from '@angular/core';
                       ~~~~~~~~

  node_modules/@angular/core/core.d.ts:5964:31
    5964 export declare abstract class Renderer2 {
                                       ~~~~~~~~~
    'Renderer2' is declared here.

Please advise how to make the ionic-angular dependency work.

A: The packages @angular/core and ionic-angular are incompatible and upgrading angular to v10 forces to use @ionic/angular package instead:

A: Try to import Renderer2 instead of Renderer.
