Village Earth is pleased to announce that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has accepted our challenge of the Federal Census data used to calculate the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) for the Red Lake Band of Chippewa on the Red Lake Reservation in northern Minnesota. The decision will amount to a $1,074,880 increase in their allocation for 2018 and $743,417 to their 2019 allocation (retroactively applied). The challenge was organized by the Red Lake Economic Development & Planning Department with support from Village Earth. Our data will continue to be used by HUD to calculate Red Lake Band's housing block grants until 2022 amounting to millions more in funding for housing. The IHBG is used by Tribally Designated Housing Authorities (TDHE's) for housing development, assistance to housing developed under the Indian Housing Program, housing services to eligible families and individuals, crime prevention and safety, and model activities that provide creative approaches to solving affordable housing problems. Additionally, our data will impact funding from the Department of Transportation which calculates part of their formula funding for road construction and maintenance from the IHBG data.
There are numerous challenges to the development of housing on American Indian Reservations but historically, one of the biggest challenges has been the disproportional levels of poverty and the fact that most Reservation lands are not owned outright by Tribes and Individual Native Americans but instead, most Indian lands are held in trust for Native Americans by the Federal Government. In a practical sense, what that means is that even though Tribes and individual Native Americans may hold title to significant tracts of land, those lands are encumbered by their Trust status with the Federal Government. While this relationship has protected Indian lands from being sold-off to non-tribal members it has also created a significant barrier to access financing for the construction of homes, since lands held in trust cannot be used as a guarantee of repayment by most lenders.
Through treaties, statutes, and historical relations with Indian tribes, the United States has a unique trust responsibility to protect and support Indian tribes and Indian people. The Indian Housing Block Grant, authorized by congress in the 1996 Native American Housing and Self Determination Act (NAHASDA), is one of the ways the United States attempts to fulfill its responsibility. In 2018 congress approved $755 million for the IHBG, while this may seem like a large amount of money, it is a drop-in-bucket of what is actually needed to address the housing crisis on American Indian Reservations where it is estimated by the NAIHC that 68,000 homes are needed to address the shortage. Funding under the IHBG is distributed to tribes based on a formula derived primarily from data collected by the Federal Census Bureau. However, there is a provision in the federal statute that allows tribes to challenge the data used to calculate their allocation.
Since 2005 Village Earth has assisted several American Indian Tribes who believe the federal census data does not accurately reflect the reality that exists at their Reservations but needed solid data to test that belief. There is ample evidence for Tribes to be suspicious, especially for tribes in rural parts of the country where the Census Bureau may lack accurate maps of housing and where response rates may be lower than other sociodemographic groups. According a 2018 GAO report "the [Census] Bureau estimated that it missed nearly 5 percent of American Indians living on reservations—the sociodemographic group with the highest percent net undercount in 2010—whereas the Bureau estimated it overcounted almost 1 percent of non-Hispanic whites." Over the years, Village Earth has innovated a methodology to create more accurate maps of housing in Indian Country but more importantly, we have over 20 years experience conducing surveys and needs assessments in Indian Country and understand the unique challenges and opportunities that exist for collecting complete and accurate data. Paramount to our approach is working closely with local stakeholders and training locals to do the data collection using state-of-the-art methods and tools.

With a long list of cognitive benefits, and few side effects, L-theanine is one of the most powerful and effective natural nootropics available today.
It works by relieving stress and relaxing the body without any drowsiness involved.
Many use it for both anxiety and a natural aid for sleep. It is an amino acid found commonly in tea, making it easy to come by for many.
The supplement differs from others in that it has no adverse effects. The body does not become drowsy or wary but instead remains calm and collected in any situation.
Theanine is similar to glutamate. It helps transmit nerve impulses within the brain to balance brain chemistry.
Anxiety and stress may impair memory and cognitive function, so theanine works to combat these problems and retain mental alertness.
This amino acid is very water-soluble allowing the body to absorb it easily. The easy absorption makes the effects felt faster and more efficiently.
Standard doses help to reduce stress, relax the body, and restore attention. Theanine works similar to caffeine, yet it does not have the harsh edge that many people dislike about the substance.
It reaches the brain more effectively and begins working after just a short time. There are no sedation-like effects felt, allowing the user to remain awake and coherent.
The supplement pops up online and in health food stores. It is one of the most easy-to-obtain options. It often comes in pill form, but there is a powder version available as well.
It is different from many other substances in that it is not addictive. No one becomes addicted to the pill and requires it in their daily lives.
Most people take it on an as-needed basis, without the constant desire to have it. Many folks like to include it when they know it will come in handy, such as before an exam, workout, or social gathering where their anxieties may come into play.
The simple name for the product is theanine. The scientific name is Gamma-ethylamino-L-glutamic acid. It is also sometimes called Suntheanine.
I have experience with L-Theanine. This supplement works great to calm down the body when taken with caffeine.
Many people, myself included, stack these two together, so the effects of caffeine show with an increase in mental capacity, but the harsher side of things gets downplayed.
Experiencing shakiness and jitters no longer occur thanks to the combination of L-theanine. I too take caffeine with my supplement to experience it in the best way possible.
Having too much cortisol in the body can cause you to feel stressed. Theanine works to combat this problem. I take it when I feel I have too much cortisol in my body and want to feel good rather than stressed and upset.
I take a higher dose, and it begins its effects in just 20 minutes. It makes me feel better, much more focused, and my brain no longer wanders.
I receive a wakeful relaxation that allows me to continue my daily activities without stress and without feeling too tired to do so.
I do not foresee anyone having strange side effects from a larger dose of theanine. I often see 500mg as the recommended amount, but 1000 or even 1500 is what I frequently use when I need a quick boost in mental alertness and focus.
After scouring the Internet, it is easy to see why L-theanine is so well-liked. Many believe L-theanine works well for relaxing and avoiding the effects of anxiety.
Those with major anxiety problems have even returned to a normal way of life after incorporating this supplement into their daily routine.
It is difficult to get agitated and run out of patience while taking it. Your demeanor overall improves, and you feel much more capable of taking on anything.
The most common effect associated with theanine is a sense of relaxation, but it doesn't cause drowsiness along with it. It helps you deal with stress and makes you better able to collect your thoughts in a smooth and organized manner. In addition to its use as an anti-stress agent, it can be used to boost overall cognition and cause a lift in mood. Note that these are the effects seen when drinking green tea, especially after several cups.
The cause of the main effect of theanine (calm thought collection) is its ability to increase levels of the neurotransmitter GABA, which inhibits the overexcitement of neurons in the brain. If you can keep your brain from overrunning itself with signals of stress, it will help your ability to concentrate on the task on hand. Theanine can also increase dopamine levels, which can account for the boost in mood that often accompanies its use. It is also reported that theanine affects a number of other receptors such as AMPA, which can aid in the ability to learn and process information.
The body often feels intense, on alert, and ready for fight or flight mode during stressful situations. Theanine helps curb the flight-or-flight response by inducing relaxation.
Rather than being on alert, people who take the supplement are more apt to being patient, loose, and ready to unwind for the day.
There are no drowsy feelings, though, making it even more beneficial. The relaxed state is partly due to the serotonin production that theanine creates.
Serotonin is needed in the body to make it relax and ready for sleep. Due to the added alertness of the pill, however, drowsiness is not part of the equation. It also increases alpha brain waves that scientists associate with relaxation and meditation.
Theanine reduces stress within the body. All signs of stress get erased, so a person feels relaxed and ready to be part of any social situation.
It is ideal for people with anxiety who often feel fearful, worried, and shaky during social interactions. These symptoms get eliminated immediately after taking a dose of the supplement. The body instead feels relaxed and the mind worry-free.
L-Theanine stimulates the production of GABA. Gamma-aminobutyric acid reduces the activity of nerve cells, which helps to calm the brain.
With increased production of this amino acid, an even further relaxed state may prove possible. GABA prevents the excessive firing of neurons. Without them firing off rapidly, the brain may feel more relaxed and not on high alert like usual.
While many anti-anxiety medications make a person tired and unable to drive, theanine reacts in the opposite way.
The body feels relaxed, yet the mind is alert and at full attention. It allows a person to handle any situation easily, without feeling stressed or unable to do so.
L-Theanine is a psychoactive substance. It has direct access to the central nervous system, allowing it cross the blood-brain barrier.
It interacts with the brain itself rather than simply sending messages through other carriers. With the ability to reach the brain, theanine reacts quickly in the body and makes the effects felt faster.
Both dopamine and serotonin levels increase with the use of theanine. These are responsible for happiness and relaxation.
The theanine produces a higher amount of both chemicals, causing an enhanced reaction within the body. You feel happier, more relaxed, and better able to handle anything.
It is best to take the supplement in the morning. Never consume food while taking it because it will inhibit the effects.
Amino acids work best on an empty stomach, as the body more easily absorbs them. They can adhere to proteins in food and lose their effectiveness in the bloodstream and on the brain.
Most people take a small dose of theanine, such as 200mg. It can take time to work, but should not take more than an hour to feel its effects.
A higher dose can make the effects felt much faster. Take as much as you feel you need to combat your anxiety symptoms and make yourself relaxed.
Theanine has great potential as a supplement, being relatively cheap to buy and having several scientifically proven effects. Multiple studies from both the United States and Japan have shown theanine (or the green tea it's contained in) to have significant efficacy in decreasing stress and facilitating cognition. If one wanted to start including it in their diet, they could simply start drinking green tea. However, the theanine content of tea can be wildly variable, so it is easier to use a theanine supplement to predict the level of intake and ensure you are taking enough to see its set of benefits.
As a separate substance, theanine is most commonly found as a fine white powder, although it can be found packaged in capsules or tablets as well. It can be dissolved into any beverage and taken that way, and my favorite thing to do is to mix it into a cup of hot green tea. Theanine powder has one of the most pleasant tastes for nootropic powders with a sweet and somewhat savory taste. The typical dosage is 200 milligrams, although it's well tolerated in the body, so it can be safe to take a larger amount.
You can find theanine on many health and supplement websites in either its powder or pill form, and it will generally cost about $16 for 60 200mg capsules, or a little under $20 for a container of 50 grams of powder. I recommend using the powder route, as it's much cheaper and it tastes good enough to simply take as-is.
The most common doses are between 100 and 200mg, although some may require up to 400mg in one serving. 1200mg is the highest maximum dose recommended per day.
You can take it once or twice daily. It does not take much to make a person feel the relaxing effects. Most people take it with caffeine, whether in supplement form or by consuming a drink with the stimulant as an added ingredient.
Body weight may make the dosage different for everyone. A larger man requires a higher dose of theanine than a smaller woman.
Women and men may take the supplement, but any breastfeeding or expectant mother must first consult with a doctor. It is not often recommended to take even a small dose of it during this time.
L-theanine is commonly used to treat anxiety. The supplement provides a sense of relaxation without the feeling of being sedated.
While 200 mg is the standard, you don't have to take it all at once.
Some people have found that splitting their dosage to take 100 mg in the morning and 100 mg in the evening is effective. If you find you're anxious in the afternoon, you could try a morning-afternoon split instead.
Monitor your anxiety and usage carefully in the first few days, to determine what works best in your case.
L-theanine is also known to increase dopamine in the brain. This effect improves your mood and can heighten your energy.
The standard 200 mg dosage for adults is normally sufficient for those taking L-theanine for depression.
Since L-theanine is a relaxing agent, it can also help you sleep. However, it's far from the most potent sleep supplement available.
Those with very mild sleep problems may not see much effect. Typically you should experience feelings of relaxation 30 minutes to one hour after taking L-theanine.
One study in Japan suggested that L-theanine also improves sleep quality.
Healthy participants took 200 mg of L-theanine one hour before bed for six days. Compared to a control group given placebos, those who took L-theanine reported less exhaustion and less need for sleep.
L-theanine's ability to increase attention and focus can be useful for those with ADHD.
L-theanine is often combined with other supplements, the most common being caffeine. The two are naturally stacked in green tea or can be taken in different forms.
When taking caffeine with L-theanine, it is best to take it in a 4:1 ratio, with four parts L-theanine and one part caffeine.
While a one to one ratio can work, the calming effects of L-theanine might be reduced. If your standard dose of L-theanine is 200 mg, you can supplement it with a 50 mg capsule of caffeine.
ADHD can also be associated with disturbed sleep, L-theanine can help in this case. A 6-week long study on 8 to 12-year-old boys with ADHD found that taking 200 mg of L-theanine twice a day contributed to improving sleep quality.
The increase of neurotransmitters caused by L-theanine can also increase focus and learning. These attributes make this supplement ideal for children, including those with ADHD.
Children should generally take half the dosage of any medication or supplement, and the L-theanine dosage for kids is no different.
However, additional factors like ADHD should be taken into account and may allow for higher doses.
Since 200 is the standard dosage for adults, you shouldn't start off your child with more than 100 mg of L-theanine.
Just as with adults, you may want to try 50 mg at first. Monitor your child's reaction and ask others about any changes in behavior.
Chewable tablets and liquid solutions are also available, making it easier for children to take them.
Anxiety can be a serious problem in dogs. Theanine is a safe alternative that has very little risk of any side effects.
The supplement increases GABA and dopamine levels in the brain, influencing calmness.
There are a number of supplements now available for dogs. Consider your dog's weight category when determining the dosage.
Dogs that are under 20 lbs may not even need an entire tablet to see effects. When in doubt, check with your vet.
Side effects do not typically occur with theanine. It is considered safe to take as long as it gets used for just a few weeks at a time and not as an everyday part of life. Extended studies have not been completed to determine side effects of long-term use.
You should not take theanine with medications that lower cholesterol. It is also best to avoid taking it with food, especially items high in protein.
Amino acids tend to bind to proteins, resulting in smaller amounts for the body to absorb and utilize.
Taking theanine alone may make you feel more tired than you hope. The trick is to stack theanine with caffeine. This allows your body to enter a relaxed state without feeling overly tired and ready for bed.
Keep in mind that caffeine is found in many soft drinks and teas. It is possible to experience adverse effects if these are regularly consumed while taking an additional caffeine supplement.
There may be more jitteriness than usual, along with an extended period where it is hard to achieve sleep.
Many people compare the effects of Kava to theanine. It is often taken as a tea by people with social anxiety, or just purely for enjoyment and relaxation.
If you suffer from ADHD or ADHD-like symptoms, Kava may help improve concentration at work and at home. While this is an alternative, it is not always recommended for everyone.
In my opinion, Theanine is the better option, but some people just respond better to Kava.
Rhodiala Rosea is another natural option, well-liked by those looking for something milder that has little to no side effects. It is intended as a mild anti-anxiety herb with limited downside.
It only takes around a half an hour for the effects to kick in, with the peak of them felt at the one hour mark. It also does not make people jittery as caffeine does.
You won't feel lethargic after taking Rhodiala Rosea, and as such it helps boost performance during an intense workout by keeping you calm.
To enhance mood, focus, and memory, Aniracetam is a valid option. It offers the most beneficial components of taking caffeine and l-theanine together.
The body is still in a relaxed state and able to handle stressful situations, yet the focus and memory of the mind is greatly enhanced.
It often takes a stronger dose, usually around 750mg per day, but the effects are seen quickly and can last longer. Aniracetam can also be a mild mood booster, like L-theanine.
L-Theanine offers a way to relax your brain and body, allowing you to feel much more at ease in the world. Anxiety struggles get reduced, and even stressful situations no longer feel hard for you to handle.
The supplement provides an opportunity to get through the day with more patience, resulting in less angry outbursts and resentment towards others and your life.
It pairs well with caffeine to ensure the full effects of mental alertness are felt without the harsh effects caffeine can cause.


Police said yesterday that there were more undergrads who had been subjected to inhuman ragging at the Perademiya University other than those who had been identified and the perpetrators had been suspended.
Kandy DIG Mahinda Ekanayake said those responsible had escaped Scot free.
The police top brass urged those who had been subjected to extreme ragging to complain to the police.
"Investigations have revealed that among those responsible for ragging the new comers there was a female student as well and she was mainly responsible for ragging the females," he said.
The DIG said police intelligence had been deployed to apprehend the raggers.
The house where the ragging took place had been rented by the perpetrators for Rs.30,000 per month, he said.


When Marriner Merrill (early Logan Temple President) was nine-years old and living in New Brunswick, also before he was a member of the Church, he saw a vision of his future. Which one thing did he not see during his vision?
From the life of Francis Marion Lyman: In the early part of 1883 Apostle Lyman filled an Indian mission to which he had been called by Pres. John Taylor Nov. 17th the year previous. On May 5th and 6th, he attended the Wasatch Stake conference in Heber City, where he made the necessary preparations for the journey eastward to the Utes in Uintah. The company camped in Strawberry valley, where they were joined by others from Sanpete who had been compelled to leave their supplies in their wagon on the top of a mountain in four feet of snow. As a guard, they had left Indian Nephi by the wagon. Strong efforts were made to get the goods, and while this work was being done, the company remained on Currant creek. While thus encamped, Apostle Lyman took his gun one day, and went to a mountain some two miles distant. When this mission had been assigned to him, Pres. Taylor had not given any definite instructions as to how the work was to be accomplished, and the method to be pursued was not clear to Brother Lyman. He had also asked Pres. Woodruff of the Council to the Twelve how to proceed, but had not received any detailed counsel that left his mind free from doubt as to the right course. He had been told that he was personally entitled to a knowledge of the work and the spirit of his mission. Should he go right in among the Indians, or should he ask permission of the agents? In the latter course, he ran the risk of being refused, thus leaving his work unaccomplished, as was the case with others who had asked permission to preach to the Indians in other missions. Arriving at the mountain, these thoughts were employing his mind, when a sudden impulse caused him to ascend the hill, which towered a thousand feet above the table land in the vicinity. On arriving at the top, he found a large, flat stone which he stood upon. He then took off his hat, his face turned to the east towards the field of his labors, fell upon his knees, and poured out his soul in prayer to God. "I went before the Lord," he says, "and told Him all about my troubles; how everything seemed against us; how little I knew about the work; how I had learned that the agents at Uintah and Ouray were bitterly opposed to the Mormons and their doctrines; and then asked for the successful opening of the mission to the Lamanites in that region, and that God might guide me aright, and soften the hearts of the agents and favor towards us and our cause." Just as he kneeled to prayer, the atmosphere having been perfectly quiet up to that moment, a wind began blowing, which continued to grow stronger as he continued his prayer, until at the close of the half hour in which he was engaged, it blew with the velocity of a tempest, so that he could scarcely remain in his position. When he finished praying, the wind as suddenly abated as it had begun, and he retraced his steps to camp. He felt convinced that to go right on with his mission, visit the agents and the Indians and preach to them was the right thing to do. This ability to receive impressions of approbation in his work, when he is doing right, is strongly developed in Apostle Lyman. In may of the important steps of his life, he has been approved through dreams and inspirations, and even visits of men of God who have gone before. It has been thus made perfectly clear to him that his course is approved and his actions upheld. . . . On the morning of the 12th [May], the camp was up early, and it appeared that all the difficulties which had so far surrounded them were at length overcome. He was sitting on a camp stool just before breakfast and reached over to pick up some object, when he was suddenly seized with the most excruciating pain that could be imagined in his left side—it was a threatened rupture. It was so severe and agonizing that all hopes of his recovery were given up. Everything that could be done was done to relieve him, but all to no avail. They had no medicines of any kind; and one of the brethren proffered to send fifty miles away for a doctor, but Brother Lyman forbade him, saying that he could no last till the arrival of a physician. It was suggested that he be taken back, but it was impossible to move him, the pain was so tormenting. For two hours he remained in such terrible agony that the cold sweat stood out in great beads upon his face. During this time he says that every good act of his life passed before him, and strange to say not an evil thing that he had done came to his mind—nothing but good. He saw himself carried home dead, and beheld the consternation of his family at his death, and what had overtaken him. During all this time, strange to say, neither he nor his companions, although they had done every other thing to alleviate his sufferings, had one thought of the ordinance of administration. At the close of that time, one of the brethren suggested administering to him, which was accordingly done. No sooner were the hands of his brethren lifted from his head than the pain left as suddenly as it had come. He became perfectly free, and had thus been healed by the power of God by the laying on of hands by the Elders. He fell into a sweet sleep, and in a comparatively short time was able to proceed on the journey. Up to this time, Satan seemed determined that the mission should not be opened up. But from this time on, the trouble was over, the way was clear, everything was favorable, and it seemed that every obstacle was removed without hands. Arriving among the Indians, the missionaries were received with marked kindness by both the Lamanites and by the agents, J.J. Chritchlow, of Uintah, and J. F. Minness of Ouray. Everybody attended the meetings. The gospel and the Book of Mormon were freely taught by Elder Lyman and the brethren, and by Elder Nephi who was surnamed Lehi by Elder Lyman. Chief Tabby also preached together with many others of the chief Utes who were firm latter-day Saints. They bore powerful and fearless testimonies. Missionaries were selected, sustained and set apart at a conference held in Ashley on the 19th and 20th of May, and were called to continue their labors, which they did now with much spirit. There were: Jeremiah Hatch, Israel Clark, Jeremiah Hatch, Jr., Thomas Karren, George Glines, and Thomas Bingham, Jr. The Indians were largely converted and baptized, and both chiefs and laymen rejoiced in the work of God. Temporal good was also accomplished. The missionaries found an old chief who was more interested in temporal than in spiritual affairs. He had arranged a canal straight up the banks of the river to his land, and was waiting for the water to mount into it to irrigate his possessions. The missionaries remonstrated with him, saying that water would not run up hill. He insisted, however, in a surly manner, that the "Mormons" made it turn up hill. It was explained to him that it was only appearances that seemed to him so, and that water ran only downhill. They told him how it could be done, whereupon he wished them to do the work. They asked permission from the agent to build a canal to water the possessions of the old chief, which was gladly granted. The six missionaries set to work upon their task. They obtained plows, scrapers, and horses, and in the course of ten days had a canal ready which proved a great success in watering the possessions of the elated chief. For this useful labor, the missionaries were afterwards allowed $1,000, which was paid them by Agent Minness, and which they divided among them, thus receiving both temporal and spiritual blessings.

[Video] breaking through the water air barrier Stanford University develops underwater exploration technology with airborne sonar
Radar and lidar (LIDAR) are one of the most efficient tools for surface survey and mapping. They can be equipped on airplanes and satellites to provide accurate data through clouds and even forests. But they can't do much to survey under the sea, because the sea absorbs a lot of signals. At present, the most effective way to map the seabed is still sonar, but because sonar signals need to be sent underwater, many oceans have not been mapped. < / P > < p > if the sonar signal is sent directly from the air to the underwater, more than 99.9% of the energy will be lost in the conversion process. That's why the outside world becomes so quiet when you dive to the bottom of the pool. The remaining 0.1% of the energy can only produce a sonar signal, but when it returns to the air from the water, it loses 99.9% of the energy. < / P > < p > military forces around the world mainly use sonar to detect submarines, and mainly rely on equipment at the bottom of the ship. At present, the closest to the airborne sonar system is Thales's flash low-frequency broadband system. The cable hanging at the bottom of the helicopter hangs down from the cable and submerges into the sea like a tea bag. But this method is low efficiency, high cost and not suitable for large-scale survey. < / P > < p > now, a team at Stanford University has developed a new type of UAV underwater survey technology, which has found the technology to send and receive sonar signals from airborne platforms without touching water. This development will eventually make it easier to map the seabed and survey marine life. < / P > < p > although sound waves and radar can not effectively transmit information when facing the air-water barrier, the research team found that photoacoustic method can obtain signals through the barrier in at least one direction. Photoacoustic airborne sonar system (pass) emits laser to the water surface, and its intensity pulse reaches the required audio frequency. With the absorption of laser energy, it generates ultrasonic wave in the water, which can be used as an effective sonar wave to bounce underwater objects before jumping back to the water surface. < / P > < p > the study's first author, graduate student Aidan Fitzpatrick, said: "if we can use light in air with good light transmission and use light in water with good sound transmission, then we can do both." visit. < / P > < p > it's true that almost all the energy of sound waves will be consumed when propagating from water to the air, but this one-way loss still leaves enough signals to be "heard" by the sensors on the airborne equipment. "We have developed a system that is sensitive enough to compensate for this order of magnitude of loss, and still can detect and image the signal," said Amin arbabian, who led the study After the signal is recorded, it is analyzed by software to create a 3D image of the submerged object. The software can correct the refraction of sound waves when they enter the air from the water. < / P > < p > and then the deployment tool itself. "Our vision for this technology is to be in a helicopter or a drone," Fitzpatrick said. We hope that the system can fly at an altitude of tens of meters above the water. " Helicopters and drones both push a lot of air and make a lot of noise, and this (not to mention the noise of the environment itself) may pose a greater challenge to ultra sensitive transducers as they try to pick up tiny pieces of debris.

This design and construct project saw the delivery of a clear span hangar space of nearly 5,000 square metres to accommodate two 737 jets for servicing. The hangar is 78 metres long and has a height clearance of 16 metres, and an adjoining office is fitted out over two levels.
The large span area required a lightweight design and was preassembled on site, before being lifted into place by dual crane lifts.


Pulmonary embolisms occur when blood is allowed to pool for too long, forming a clot. The clot travels through the circulatory system and lodges in the lungs, blocking the flow of oxygen. It can cause lasting damage … or kill its victim instantly.
Doctors know – or at least they should – which patients are most at risk for pulmonary embolisms. If they fail to take proper preventive measures and their patient dies as a result, their oversight may be considered malpractice.
In one recent case, we are bringing a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the family of a man who died needlessly because of a pulmonary embolism. underwent a radical ankle procedure that resulted in a prolonged period of immobility, He began to gain weight and was non-weight bearing. These two factors can lead to the "blood-pooling" effect that causes pulmonary embolisms. The doctor should have recognized this and put our client on a healthy dose of anti-coagulant medication – but he didn't.
Compounding the situation was the doctor's failure to diagnose the pulmonary embolism once it began to take effect. When his family hired us, we did not hesitate to hold the doctor accountable.

Dairy has been greatly underestimated and is an "excellent" protein source for children, study finds
Pass me that milk!
in Health & Medicine, News, Nutrition
Dairy holds a controversial position in our modern diets. It used to be a go-to recommendation for kids, but nowadays, many recommend avoiding giving dairy to children — or even adults. A new study takes a pretty clear position in that debate, naming dairy an excellent protein source using a new calculation method.
Dairy might be better for us than we preivously thought. Image via Pixabay.
Researchers from the University of Illinois have been using pigs as a model for the protein uptake of children. This isn't a new approach, it's something that was suggested by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations in 2011.
"Plant proteins are the primary sources of amino acids in many parts of the world, whereas animal proteins are the primary sources in other parts of the world. However, the composition and digestibility of these types of proteins differ," says Dr. Hans H. Stein, professor of animal sciences at U of I and principal investigator of this research.
Researchers in Stein's lab calculated the protein score for eight different sources of protein, derived both from plants and animals. The protein scores are a reflection of the amount of digestible amino acids in a food with a "reference protein," a theoretical protein which contains all the fully digestible amino acids in the proportions required for human nutrition at a particular stage of life. They calculated how digestible the proteins are through this standard method which has been used for 20 years. However, researchers argue, this method is not complete and has significant flaws, failing to take significant factors into consideration.
"The total tract digestibility fails to take into account nitrogen excretion in the hindgut," Stein says. "The PDCAAS also assumes that all amino acids in a foodstuff have the same digestibility as crude protein, but in reality, amino acid digestibilities differ."
So they also used a new calculation, which they called digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS). They calculated DIAAS on the same eight different proteins — whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, milk protein concentrate, skimmed milk powder, pea protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, soy flour, and whole-grain wheat. They found that all dairy proteins met Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) standards as "excellent/high" quality, while soy protein isolate and soy flour qualified as "good" sources of protein. With this approach, dairy scored much better than it did with traditional methods. This would mean that dairy has been greatly underestimated as a protein source for children, though researchers concede that this method also has its limitations.
"The protein sources used in this experiment were fed raw, and foods processed as they typically are for human consumption might well have different protein values."
Still, Stein and his team believe this is a significant step forward compared to previous approaches. Although lots of time and effort is being invested into understanding how the human body deals with nutrients, we still know surprisingly little about these interactions. Of course, more research is needed to validate this method, but small shifts like this go a long way towards expanding our understanding — and enabling us to eat healthier.
"The results of this pilot study indicate that dairy proteins may be an even higher quality source of protein compared to vegetable-based protein sources than previously thought," said Dr. Greg Miller, chief science officer at NDC. "While using DIAAS is a newer concept and more research will be needed, one thing rings true — milk proteins are high quality and milk as a beverage has protein plus eight other essential nutrients, which is especially important when it comes to kids, because they need quality nutrition to help support their growth and development."
The paper, "Values for digestible indispensable amino acid scores (DIAAS) for some dairy and plant proteins may better describe protein quality than values calculated using the concept for protein digestibility-corrected amino acid scores (PDCAAS)" was published in the February 2017 issue of the British Journal of Nutrition.

---- DO IT YOURSELF ENTRY --------- PURPOSE: To provide a do-it-yourself adaptation for an individual with mobility issues to play the drum kit featured as part of the Rock Band video game. As a wheelchair user, the individual was disappointed that she could not disable the kick pedal feature on the drums within the game. First, cut the two RCA connectors off the "Y" end of the cable and strip away about ½ inch of the insulation to reveal the copper writing (be sure to leave the 3.5 millimeter input connected, this is plugged into the foot pedal input). Then loosen the two screws on the inside of the doorbell and wrap one copper wire around each screw. Tighten the screws. The doorbell should come with two screws so that it can be mounted to the bottom of one stick. To avoid a bunch of holes in the drum sticks make sure to play around with the positioning of the doorbell before screwing it in. The wire coming from the doorbell to the sticks can be conceal and secured with electrical tape. Also, the electrical tape can be used to wrap the sticks (except for the tip) for added grip. To use this adaptation simply unplug the foot pedal and plug in the sticks. This modification was created using materials that can be found just about at any retail store and cost approximately $20. MATERIALS: Cheap set of drum sticks, a door bell, and audio Y-cable 3.5 millimeters to 2 RCA. TOOLS: Screw driver, set of wire stripping pliers, and electrical tape.

Cosmos 400 (en cirílico, Космос 400) fue un satélite artificial militar soviético perteneciente a la clase de satélites DS (el segundo del tipo DS-P1-M) y lanzado el 18 de marzo de 1971 mediante un cohete Kosmos-3 desde el cosmódromo de Plesetsk.

Objetivos
Cosmos 400 fue parte de un sistema de satélites utilizados como objetivos de prueba para el programa de armas antisatélite IS y para armas antimisiles. Los satélites del tipo DS-P1-M no se limitaban a ser satélites pasivos, sino que tenían sensores para registrar la dirección e intensidad del impacto entre otros parámetros. El sistema estuvo en funcionamiento hasta 1983, año en que la Unión Soviética abandonó el programa de armas antisatélite. El propósito declarado por la Unión Soviética ante la Organización de las Naciones Unidas en el momento del lanzamiento era realizar "investigaciones de la atmósfera superior y el espacio exterior".

Características
El satélite tenía una masa de 750 kg (aunque otras fuentes apuntan a 650 kg) y forma de poliedro hexagonal. El satélite fue inyectado inicialmente en una órbita con un perigeo de 995 km y un apogeo de 1016 km, con una inclinación orbital de 65,8 grados y un periodo de 104,99 minutos.

Cosmos 400 fue el objetivo del interceptor antisatélites Cosmos 404, lanzado el 4 de abril de 1971. El interceptor se acercó a una distancia mínima de Cosmos 400 de 8 km para luego reentrar en la atmósfera

Segregated SMSFs – why aren't there more in the marketplace?
In the Australian SMSF marketplace, the proportion of segregated funds is very small when compared to pooled funds. David Barrett, Principal Consultant at Bravura Solutions asks why is this the case? Is it because trustees see little value in segregation, find it too complex or costly, or are there other factors at play?
These questions came to mind when I recently attended a thought provoking session on fund segregation at the 2015 SMSF Association National Conference. Presented by Brenda Hutchinson, TAG Financial Services, the session started me thinking about the reasons behind the low uptake of segregated SMSFs.
Currently in Australia, anecdotal evidence suggests that only a very small percentage of SMSFs – less than 10 per cent – are segregated. This figure is in stark contrast to retail and industry based superannuation funds where each member's assets are kept segregated from all the other members of the fund.
Let's take a closer look at segregation and try to understand why so few SMSFs take advantage of it.
Segregation refers to the practice whereby specific assets in an SMSF are assigned to a specific member, or to the phase that member is in (i.e. accumulation or pension phase). Investment returns on segregated assets flow only to the designated member or phase.
By contrast, as the name suggests, assets in a pooled fund are treated collectively. Investment returns on pooled assets are shared across all members in proportion to their member balances.
In addition, there is a third option, known as a hybrid fund, which combines segregated and pooled assets within the one SMSF.
Despite its low uptake, there appear to be numerous advantages to opting for a segregated SMSF, under the right circumstances.
Perhaps segregation's greatest appeal is that it provides trustees far greater flexibility and choice, by allowing specific assets and income to be tailored according to a member's age/life stage, risk profile and preferred investment strategy. For example, where an SMSF is made up of a Mum and Dad who are in retirement and their two children who are in their thirties, these trustees are likely to have different needs. Whereas the parents might favour low risk, high income producing assets to support their pension accounts, the children might prefer higher risk, low income capital growth assets to bolster their accumulation accounts. In a pooled fund, this ability to differentiate investment strategies is simply not possible. In a segregated fund, each member is able to 'do their own thing', with the provision that each trustee signs off on the investment strategy.
The segregation of pension assets from accumulation assets within an SMSF also offers trustees some tax advantages. This is because earnings from assets that support a pension account are tax free – whereas earnings from assets that support an accumulation account are taxable. Therefore, by segregating the high income producing assets to the pension account and the low income, high capital gain assets to the accumulation account, the trustees can ensure that the vast majority of the fund's income is received tax free, rather than being taxed according to the proportions of each account. In addition, should an asset allocated to a pension account within a segregated fund need to be liquidated – such as real estate – there is no capital gains tax to be paid on the sale.
Further, because segregated funds separate the income streams of pension assets from accumulations assets, they don't need to obtain an Actuarial Certificate, which saves time and reduces costs. Conversely, pooled funds must engage an actuary to determine what proportion of the earnings from the assets for the given income year are eligible to be exempted from income tax.
Another key advantage of segregation is the ability to deliver absolute clarity about 'what's mine and what's yours' within an SMSF. Segregated funds make it possible for trustees to keep their finances separate, by clearly defining separate investment portfolios, separate assets pools and even separate bank accounts. This approach provides a level of protection for trustees and can make life a lot easier in the event of marriage breakdown and divorce, as well as second marriages. It also provides a safety net for business associates who set up an SMSF together. Should personal or business relationships ultimately turn sour, it is much easier to dismantle or depart from a segregated fund and determine respective entitlements. Similarly on the death of a trustee, segregated assets makes the distribution of the deceased's estate much simpler, by avoiding unnecessary disposals.
Segregated SMSFs can also open the door to different types of trustees. To date, SMSFs have traditionally been the bastion of families and businesses, primarily due to the level of trust required to enter into such an important financial arrangement. However, the ability of segregated SMSFs to formally separate and inherently protect the finances of individual trustees, is likely to encourage entirely new cohorts, such as friends or even like-minded groups, to join together to form a fund.
When canvassing the cons of segregation, I was surprised to discover there were comparatively few.
When separating assets, you do need to be careful not to assign low income generating assets to a pensions account that requires an income stream. You also need to be aware that capital losses are forgone in the case of segregated pension assets.
However, it would appear that the greatest detractors to segregated funds are trustee concerns about administration complexity and cost. Segregated funds are viewed as complicated and expensive, whereas pooled funds are seen as simple and inexpensive.
It's true that pooled funds are more straightforward than segregated funds and where the trustees share the same life phase, risk profile and preferred investment strategy, they make a lot of sense.
However, for those funds with a diverse mix of trustees, misconceptions about complexity and cost may be leading them to forgo the considerable benefits of segregation.
When I dug a bit deeper, I found some possible reasons why trustees were being discouraged from establishing a segregated fund. It would appear that some SMSF administrators lack the experience and knowledge to administer segregated funds and prefer to stick to familiar territory. Further, some continue to rely on traditional software administration programs that cannot adequately cater for the segregation of assets within a fund. Many administrators continue to use general ledger packages that are suited to straightforward pooled funds and cannot readily service the needs of segregated funds. To accommodate segregated assets, additional work has to be done outside of the accounting package, usually via a spreadsheet, in order to record income, changes in market values and asset values . Invariably, this additional administration leads to increased costs.
Yet there exists within the marketplace, leading private wealth administration software packages that are designed to support the segregation of assets within SMSFs. Simple to use, this software can effectively keep the complexity and costs of segregated funds down, while delivering the trustees significant benefits.
As more financial advisors get involved in the SMSF space, we may see the demand for segregated and hybrid funds increase. These advisors are comfortable with the concept of segregated assets and are familiar with the many advantages they offer.
So, while a segregated or hybrid fund may not be for everyone, the trustee's choice should be based on the relative merits of these approaches, not constrained by the software limitations of their fund administrator.
Bravura Solutions' Garradin platform provides a comprehensive portfolio management and SMSF solution that includes specific support for segregation strategies.

Hallucinogenic Surrealistic Photography By Brooke DiDonato
25-year-old talented photographer Brooke DiDonato lives and works in New York. Having received a bachelor's degree in photojournalism, the girl decided to change her approach to photography and has since become famous throughout the world. Inspired by the works of Alex Prager, Ilona Schwarzer, and Renee Magritte, she created an impressive series of surreal portraits.
Her works are uniquely characterized by a unique, provocative style. Brooke collaborated with publications such as The New Yorker and Clusters, and her memorable photos can now be found everywhere – from the best New York magazines to small newspapers on the streets of Germany.
Brooke has developed her own recognizable style, equally provocative and hallucinogenic. At first glance, it is difficult to determine what exactly is happening in the picture, but the more interesting it is to interpret her pictures with marvelous visual elements.
In her surrealistic photographs, Brooke DiDonato explores the complexities of human experiences and the manifestations of psychological anomalies in reality.
"I promote my work through social networks – I think this is one of the best ways to make yourself known. Social networks are a powerful tool for modern photographers, but the more content appears, the more difficult it becomes to draw the attention of the audience to their work."- she said.

In Praise of Messy Lives: Famous Artists who Divorced
In Praise of Messy Lives: These 12 women worked hard to claim their creative space, even when it sometimes cost them their marriage.
Can you name them all?!
Cindy Sherman married French photographer Michel Auder in 1984, but her early success put a heavy burden on the marriage, and by 1999, they were divorced. She has since dated the likes of Richard Prince, David Byrne and even Steve Martin for a brief time. In 2012, She talked to Harper's Bazaar about the difficulty being with men who struggled with her success as an artist.
After a five year relationship with the famed critic Clement Greenberg, Helen Frankenthaler married Robert Motherwell in 1958. Both born to wealthy families, the pair was known as "the golden couple" and threw lavish entertaining until they divorced in 1971. In 1994 she married investment banker Stephen M. DuBrul, Jr. and toward the end of her life, they lived together on Long Island Sound. She was quoted in the New York Times, saying "there is no formula…there are no rules."
Kara Walker studied at RISD where she met the German born jewelry designer Klaus Bergel. She finished he masters there in 1994 and the same year showed her work at a Drawing Center exhibit in New York. The piece, a mural titled "Gone: An Historical Romance of a Civil War as It Occurred Between the Dusky Thighs of One Young Negress and Her Heart," drew praise and controversy in the art world. In 1996, she and Bergel married. The following year, at age 28, she won a MacArthur "genius award," the second youngest recipient ever. The couple had a daughter and in 2006, moved from Providence to New York City. The following year, the couple split, although they share custody of their daughter. "I've never been a Bohemian in the sense of living outside the quotidien," she told Artworld.
Joan Mitchell met and married Grove Press publisher Barney Rosset while on a graduate traveling fellowship in France in 1949. Their marriage lasted until 1952, when her career was just beginning to take off in NY. In 1955, she moved to France more or less full time, and lived with the French painter, Jean-Paul Riopelle until 1979. In 1967, she used an inheritance from her mother to buy an estate in the village of Vetheuil, a little town on the Seine, best known for being the home of Claude Monet. She lived there till the end of her life.
While getting a Master's in fine art from Yale in the mid-60s, Jennifer Bartlett married medical student Edward Bartlett, but the marriage ended eight years later in 1972. Two years afterward, she had her first major exhibit at the prestigious Paula Cooper Gallery. In 1983, she married German film actor Mathieu Carriere and split her time between Paris and New York. "I learned very early that if I made any attempt to please people, I would always fail madly," she says. "So my only alternative was to just go ahead with what I feel like doing." And doing and doing.
As a girl in 1929, Frida Kahlo introduced herself to the Mexican Painter Diego Rivera. He became her mentor and inspiration, and they married in 1929. Their marriage was turbulent–Kahlo had affairs with the likes of Isamu Noguchi as well as Josephine Baker–and the couple divorced in 1939. In 1940, they got back together, but lived in separate homes until Kahlo died at age 47. Rivera wrote that the day Kahlo died was the most tragic of his life and he would forever regret not loving her enough. Of Rivera, she wrote in her diary, "Don't wish away your cracked past, your crooked toes, your problems are papier mache puppets you made or bought because the vendor at the market was so compelling you just had to have them. You had to have him. And you did."
Louise Nevelson, daughter of a Russian timber trader,knew she wanted to be a sculptor , and by the time she was 6 she was already working with small pieces of wood that she had scavenged from her father's lumber yard in Rockland, Me. At twenty one, she married a shipper by the name of Charles Nevelson. They moved to New York, had a son, and after eleven years bucking at the restraints of domestic routine, she separated from her husband in 1931. After that she supported herself as a movie extra. At one point, the novelist Celine proposed to her, but she brushed him off for his anti-semitic sympathies. "I was often depressed and alone," she said later of herself at that period, "but I was functioning as my own person and that kept me going."
Judy Chicago, who coined the phrase "feminist art," famously enshrined 1038 other feminist artists in her 1979 work "The Dinner Party," the same year she and her husband, Lloyd Hamerol divorced. They first married in 1969, and a year later, she publicly vowed to change her name, choosing Chicago, a nickname she earned for her tough talk and accent. Horrified that her husband was required to sign her name change papers, she took out and ad in the paper and appeared in boxer's garb at her gallery with a sweatshirt that read, "Judy Gerowitz hereby divests herself of all names imposed upon her through male social dominance and chooses a new name, Judy Chicago." She divorced Hamerol in 1979 and lives in New Mexico with her current husband and collaborator Donald Woodman.
Marina Abramović married Serbian conceptual artist Nesa Paripovic in 1971, but they split in 1976, the year she left Yugoslavia for Amsterdam. There she met her greatest collaborator and lover, the artist known as Ulay. Throughout the 1970's the two performed together in pieces that tested the boundaries of identity and intimacy, such as "Breathing in/Breathing out," where they shared breath until they ran out of oxygen and collapsed, or Relation in Time, where their hair was literally braided together. Great Wall of China, 1988 marked both their final performance and their breakup. Both walked from either end of the great wall met in the middle for a parting embrace and then turned and walked away. Ulay and Abramovic didn't see each other again until her solo exhibit at the MOMA in 2010, The Artist is Present. Ulay came and sat across from her, bringing her to tears.
In 1997, she fell in love with Paolo Canevari who she married and divorced in 2009. Afterwards, at age 63, she decided to learn to drive. She told Judith Thurman at the New Yorker, "I'm doing this to be independent,"
Elizabeth Murray married her Chicago Art Institute classmate Don Sunseri but they divorced in 1973, the same year she began showing her at the famed Paula Cooper Gallery. In the 1980's as a doyenne of the New York art scene she met and married Bob Holman, founder of the Bowery Poetry Club. She also won a MacArthur award in 1999. Aware that she was one of few women in a fiercely male neo-expressionist scene, she once remarked tartly to a critic, "Cézanne painted cups and saucers and apples, and no one assumed he spent a lot of time in the kitchen."
While she was a student at Brooklyn College, Jane Freilicher eloped at 17 with Jack Freilicher, a jazz pianist. Later she said she needed to do it or she "would've remained under the wing of her mother." Their marriage was annulled five years later, but her interest and talent in art brought her into a warm and exciting circle of artists and poets of downtown bohemian NY. . Larry Rivers' famously slashed his wrists when she rejected him. But then she caught sight of a former dancer, Joseph Hazan, in a movie made by one of her friends. "I thought he was very attractive," she said of Mr. Hazan. Mr. Burckhardt introduced them. "My days as a party girl ended."
Since the mid-1970s, Susan Rothenberg has been recognized as one of the most innovative and independent artists of the contemporary period; in 2010, New York Times art critic David Belcher wrote that comparisons between Rothenberg and Georgia O'Keeffe had "become hard to avoid." From her early years in SoHo through her move to New Mexico's desert landscape, Rothenberg has remained as influenced and challenged by her physical surroundings as she is by artistic issues and personal experiences. In addition to her earliest horse paintings, Rothenberg has taken on numerous forms as subject matter, such as dancing figures, heads and bodies, animals, and atmospheric landscapes. Rothenberg's visceral canvases have continued to evolve, as she explores the boundary between figural representation and abstraction; her work also examines the role of color and light, and the translation of her personal experience to a painterly surface.


It's close… 2 more days and we'll be tucked away writing our hearts out. We'll be exhausted, cranky, and most likely non sociable. We may lose inspiration or even the energy to finish … but I like to look at the outcome. 50k words in one month is huge, and will take every spare moment I have, which isn't much to begin with. But in the end I'll have a novel … something to work with … perfect and make into something … perhaps even sell one day.
What will I lose by participating? I'll lose extra time with my family and some sleep. I scoff at that. It's no different than working on a project for work and having to be at the office every spare moment or being called to the hospital for an emergency surgery, because you're a doctor or nurse. People's jobs call them away all the time.
What will I get at the end … a novel. A dream. An accomplishment. I'm so excited to participate this year and it will be my first. So far, I feel prepared.
So to keep us excited and to help us stay focused and find time to write I'll be assisting in some Word Counts or Write In's, WC's. There is tons of information below. If you'd like to join us in the WC's please follow the info below. There are several ways. There will be kick off parties and giveaways to keep us all motivated.
Most of all I want to wish everyone Good Luck!!
If you'd like to sponsor me while I write please go here!
Tons of writing advice and assistance can be found on my Facebook Author Page.
I'll be announcing WC's on my Twitter … Use HashTag #FandomNaNoWC & #RRPNNWM to join me in our Writing Challenge on Skype. Find our WC group on Skype at #RRPNNWM for #NaNoWC 's and join. I can be found on Skype as itlnbrt, please friend me to join group.
Also, find me on my NaNo profile to add me as a writing buddy.
Renaissance Romance Publishing will be hosting a kick off party on November 1st using Hashtag #RRPNNWM on Twitter.
Just because sometimes we need that little bit of incentive to write, every Fandom NaNo WC you participate in counts as an entry into the Scrivener Giveaway. Two winners will be chosen on December 1, 2012.
~The group chat opens 15 minutes prior to the hour for general discussion before the writing commences.
~So as not to disturb the others writers, we ask for complete silence—no chatting in the group chatroom—during the scheduled hour, unless you need to dropout of the session.
~Sessions may continue for another hour, with an intermission in between to share word counts and allow any withdrawals. Teasers will not be shared to minimize flow interruption.
~Sign-ups for each weekly session ends ten minutes before the starting hour for that day's scheduled WC, with the last call on Twitter.
I can also add you to our Skype group if you fill out the form below.
Check out my Publisher's Blog for info on current and future books.


Hope this save finds you well and give you less grinding time!
This is for Mutant Year Zero (US region). It should pop "Pfft!Too easy!", "Still too easy!!!" AND "QA have suffered!"
Just finish off the last few guys (don't worry, you can't mess up!) and head on in!

Q: A small linear algebra doubt In a proof i was reading today had this part which i cannot prove.
Given,

*

*$S$ is a subset of vector space $V$

*$A$ is a subset of $S$

*$S$ is a subset of $\text{span}(A)$

*Every element of $S$ can be expressed uniquely by elements of $A$
Prove: A is linearly independent

A: Suppose $A:\ \{a_i\}$ is linearly dependent: $\sum\limits_i c_ia_i=0$ for $\sum\limits_i |c_i|\ne 0$ then we take $a\in S$.
By (4) $\sum\limits_i b_ia_i=a$, but $\sum\limits_i (b_i+c_i)a_i=a$ too, and $\{b_i\}$ are different from $\{b_i+c_i\}$ because not all $c_i=0$, hence a contradiction with (4) uniqueness, QED.

March 6, 2017 June 6, 2017 whimsyandmetaphor The Ferryman's Apprentice
Of the couple, the man came first. He was sitting against the cliffs, back pressed into a corner. His knees were drawn up against him, his arms holding them securely in place.
Wilom crouched about a foot away from him. He could see the marks on his face and hands, and he knew exactly how he'd died.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
He didn't respond.
"Are you in any pain at all?"
A shake of the head.
"That's good, at least. There was a fire, wasn't there?"
The man winced. "Can we not talk about it?"
"Of course. Do you think you can come with me? The boat is waiting."
He took a deep, unsteady breath. "Just … just a moment."
"Take as many as you need."
The man took a few more breaths.
"I'm Wilom," Wilom said. "What's your name?"
"Jessen."
"I had a cousin named Jessen. We used to climb up onto my parents' roof long after we were supposed to be in bed, and watch the stars or clouds. And occasionally dare each other to jump off the roof, if we could pile up something soft to land in."
The story elicited a small smile.
Wilom paused, sitting down properly on the sand to ease his legs. "You know," he said, "Things won't get any better sitting there on the sand."
"I know," Jessen said. "I know."
"Have you ever had one of those days, when you hadn't slept well, or got woken early, but you had things to do?"
Jessen hesitated. "Yes," he said. "Yes, I have."
"Well," Wilom said, "You know that the hardest part is starting. Once you're going, you might as well keep going."
"Yeah," Jessen said.
Wilom stood up and offered his hand. "So, come on," he said. "We can't stay here forever, and now is as good a time as any to go."
Jessen looked at Wilom, but didn't move.
"Like the first time your dog gets ticks. It's a nasty job, but you learn how to approach it."
"And I'm sure the dog is relieved afterwards, too."
Jessen took Wilom's hand, and slowly unfolded himself, wincing. "Oh. Right. For some reason, I expected this to hurt."
"There's no pain here," Wilom said. "Though the body remembers for a while."
Wilom led him slowly to the ferryman, and he sat curled in the front of the boat, while Wilom took his second-favourite spot near the ferryman, just out of the range of the long pole.
"That's the other side just there," Wilom said. "Through the mist. Just walk straight ahead, and you'll be fine."
"Alright," Jessen said, and got out of the boat, feeling with one foot for the shore under the mist before trusting his weight to it. "Thanks. I guess … I probably won't see you again."
"Probably not. Good luck."
Jessen walked slowly, but soon disappeared.
Back on the other side of the River, the next soul was far from quiet. She was about Jessen's age, banging the rock of the wall with her fists.
Wilom approached her, aiming to be quiet, and let her work out her anger before she noticed him, but she must have caught him out of the corner of her eye.
"Don't you d … oh. I thought you were the ferryman. Quickly, before he comes. I need to find a way to get back."
Wilom took a deep breath. "Actually, I'm his apprentice. There is no way back."
"Oh, come on, that's impossible. There are always stories about people coming back. I know first aid – I've resuscitated people, for crying out loud!"
"I can't speak for that. But from here, there is no way back."
"Listen, you're just going to have to make an exception."
"I can't. It isn't my decision."
"Well, go to hell, then, because you're not going anywhere else with me."
Wilom went to check his anger, and realised that it just … wasn't there.
So, he stood there and waited, watching the River.
She looked at him, hands on her hips. "Well? Are you taking me back, or what?"
She turned back to the wall, raised her fist and opened her mouth, then stopped. She glanced back at Wilom.
"Stop that!"
"I'm just waiting. My job is to take you to the boat so the ferryman can take you across the River. I'm not leaving until that happens, but I won't make you come until you're ready."
She lifted her fist again, then screwed up her face. "Isn't there someone else you can be bothering?"
"On this beach there is nobody but you and me, and the ferryman in his boat." It was almost amusing to see how close he could get to sounding like the ferryman.
She held up her arms and pointed to her face. "Do you know where I got these?"
"Yes. You were in a fire."
"Yes! Do you have any bloody clue what's going on up there?"
She took a step closer to him, looking down at him. She was more than a head taller than him, and he shifted to set his feet, in case she started throwing punches.
"Look, you've seen soldiers through here, right? Well, you're about to see a lot of normal people, too. Normal people that those soldiers didn't give a shit about. Someone up there needs to know what happened to me, so they can prepare. I've got to stop this happening to them, too!"
There was nothing to say to that, so Wilom said nothing.
"Can't you see that's important? So make an exception!"
"I'm sorry," Wilom said. "I can't."
She walked over, drew her fist back, and punched him full in the face.
It didn't hurt as much as he'd expected, but he felt his head snap back.
She tried again, a powerful uppercut to his stomach. He had to take a step back, and was privately glad that her aim wasn't very good, so he wasn't winded.
She raised her hand for a third blow, but dropped it.
"I took your husband across just before," Wilom said quietly.
"That's low," she spat.
"If things above are as you say," he said, "the people you want to warn have probably already realised this might happen to them. I don't doubt they'll be prepared."
"Why should they be? We weren't."
"But it has happened once now. To someone close to them. What happens now is up to them. They have all the information you could have given them already, or if not, they will have it soon. Word has a way of travelling."
The woman's gaze wavered, wandering from Wilom to the sand to the cliffs to the River. "You're saying Jessen is already over there?"
"Yes, I took him over just moments ago."
"How … how was he? He was closer to the fire than me when it hit …"
"Scared."
She let out a long, slow breath.
"Do you think, if I came now, I could catch up with him?"
"It's possible," Wilom said.
"Well, since he's there … I might as well get him before I go back. I know he'd want to go back as well." She glared at him, challenging him to tell her that she couldn't go back again.
"And the two of you will come up with a better plan than one working alone," Wilom said.
"Yes, exactly. Alright." She walked off down the beach, ahead of Wilom.
The ferryman watched her board.
"Could we go quickly, please?" she asked. "I need to catch up to the man you just took across."
The hood moved down, then back up again, and with long, powerful oar strokes, the boat slid across the water. As soon as they touched the other side, the woman jumped out and hurried off into the mist.
The ferryman waited a few moments, then turned and began to row back.
"Well done," he said.
"Thanks," said Wilom, rubbing his ribs. "Hey, telling her she could catch up to him — that was OK, right?"
The ferryman did not answer for a long time. "It was not necessarily a lie, as far as you know. And it made the trip easier for her."
"That's not really an answer."
"It wasn't really a question."
Wilom snorted. "Guess I should have expected that. Have it your way, then."
The ferryman's hood inclined, and the pole dipped into the River, pushing the boat forward smoothly towards the bank.
