FOOD CONTROLLER'S INSTRUCTIONS…
FOOD CONTROLLER'S INSTRUCTIONS TO THE PUBLIC. Lord Hhondda has issued a final state- ment to the public with reference to the rationing Reheme which cornea into opera- tion on Monday next in London and the Home Couilties. On and after that date no person will be able to buy meat or a meat meal, butter or margarine, except on meat and food cards. It is important to remember with regard to the squares and coupons that each week ends on a Saturday at mid- night, and that coupons cannot be trans- ferred from one week to another. Two things should be borne in mind—(1) Don't tear off meat coupons yourself (2) find out where your local food offioe is and go there if in difficulties. In the following extract persons are shown precisely how to buy in shops on the two cards: BUTTER AND MARGARINE. I No shop will be allowed to sell you butter or margarine except the shop at which you are registered, and only if you produce a food card. The shopkeeper will then cancel the square corresponding to the week in which the sale takes place. Supplies will be equally divided amongst shopkeepers in your district according to the number of their customers, and if sufficient quantities are available for the district as a whole, you will get 4oz. of butter and margarine a week on each card. MEAT. I No shop will be allowed to sell you butcher's meat, including pork and offals, except the shop at which you are registered- The shopkeeper will then cancel coupons corresponding to the amount of your pur- chase and the week in which it takes place. Tho butcher cannot supply you with butcher's meat or pork on more than three coupons from each card in any one week. Each of these coupons permits you to spend 5d. on butcher's meat or pork, or if it is a child's coupon, 2;d. There will be one coupon over on each card each week, and, if vou have not used all three coupons for butcher's meat or pork, there will be more than one coupon left. You may use these coupons for buying any other kind of meat, such ob bacon and ham, poultry, game, rabbite, cooked or tinned meats, etc., at any shop you please. You must, however, pro- duce meat cards for the coupons to be detached. Every shop selling such kinds of meat will be compelled to display a poster showing ex-actly what weights of different kinds of meat correspond to one coupon. MEAT MEALS. I No restaurant or eating house will serve you with any meal of which meat forms a port/on unless you produce your meat card for coupons to be detached. If therefore you have already used all your coupons for buying meat, you cannot obtain meat meals. The proprietor is not bound to serve you with any special weight of meat, but when he comes to account to his food office for the meat he has used he will have to pro- duce one coupon for every 5oz. of uncooked butcher's meat and pork he has used, and similarly with other kinds of meat. The restaurant may require you to give up only half a coupon for a meat meal, but it will then naturally not supply so much meat as for one whole coupon. Copies of Lord Rhondda's instructions in leaflet form, and referred to above, are placed upon all the bookstalls, and are free to the public. It is advisable to secure a copy and study the details carefully. NATIONAL RATIONS. The Food Controller announces that meat rationing on the lines of the scheme which comes into force in London and the Home Counties on Monday next will be applied generally throughout Great Britain by March 25. In certain parts of the country the scheme will be in operation early next month. A number of committees have local regis- tration or rationing scheme for meat in force. As these have either abolished or diminished queues, all committees in whose districts meat queues are still prevalent are being urged by the Ministry of Food to adopt temporary registration schemes until the general meat rationing scheme cornea into force. FOOD FOR MOTHERS AND INFANTS. I The Food Controller and the Local Government Board have made Orders em- powering local authorities to supply milk to children and milk and food to expectant and nursing mothers at cost price in ordi- nary cases, and free or at less than cost price in cases in which the women supplied cannot afford to pay the ecst price. Certifi- cates authorising applicants to obtain food a.nd milk will be granted by medical cfficers of health, medical officers of maternity, and child welfare centres working in co-opera- tion with the local authority, and by per- eons specifically empowered by either of these medical officers or by the local authority itself. The quantities of food and milk supplied under the Order will in ordi- nary* cases be: For children under eighteen months, up to one and a half pints of milk a day. For children between eighteen months and he years, up to one pint of milk a day. For expectant and nursing mothers as pre- scribed by the appointed medical or other authority. It will rest with the officers empowered by the local authority and acting under their directions to decide the cases in which the wom^n is to be supplied free, or at less than cost price. Expenses incurred under this Order will be defrayed as to one-half by the local rates and as to one-half by grant from the Local Government Board. 4L-

-w in ■ — »■—■WaRV i." NOTES ON NEWS. With regard to the rationing of ir.cnt, I Food Control Committees in different parts i NATTONAL MEAT KATIONS. or the country have taken time by the fore- lock by introducing local schemes. From all ac- counts these seem to have werited iairiy well, and they have, at. any rate, had the good result of minimising the queue nuisance and of abolishing it altogether in some cases. The scheme for London and the Home Counties comes into operation on Monday, the 25th, and it is now announced that a month later, on March 25,. a similar scheme will be put iato force in certain other parts of the country. In the interval all committees in whose districts queues are still preva- lent. are being urged to adopt temporary registration schemes. This is good advice, a-ad the committees which adopt it will be the better able to secure smooth working for the official scheme when it comes along. At present, as is natural, we are all antici- pating all eorts of difficulties which will beset butchers and consumers alike. There will certainly be hitches here and there, but if everybody concerned does his or her cheerful best to conform to the rules and regulations, and to make light of incon- veniences, the scheme should work well and equally. It has been clearly shown that the rationing is a necessity, and it is oul- common sense to make the best of it. A word of warning will not be out of :plaGØ in commenting upon Mr. Bonar OFTK STOCK OF WHEAT. Law's recent statement that we had two million quarters of wheat in stock in December more I than at the end of 1916. The statement has a comfortable and reassuring look, but it would be disastrous if people hastily as- sumed that so far as bread and flour are concerned there is no further need for .Jauxiety. Mr. Bonar Law said something else- as well. He emphasised the fact that this country is under obligations to assist its allies with foodstuffs. We are not feed- ing ourselves alone. As British ships supply the greater part of the world's seaJborno needs in peace, so they still have to do in war. It is something to be proud of, ,a.nd to be loyally carried out to the utmost of our power. France and Italy must share in the American wheat, and are doing so. Apart from this fact, it has to be remembered that the demands upon tonnage for bringing men and munitions iacross the Atlantic this year will be. enor- mous, and if we had now in stock no more wheat than we had at this time last year we should be in a much graver position before long than we have ever been in. All the injunctions to economy in food, and especially in bread and breadstuffs, remain in force, and, indeed, should be more liter- ally obeyed, because in addition to the other factors bringing about the shortage, there are now transport difficulties in America itself owing to the strain on the railways in moving the troops from place to place. The cat less bread" notice cannot yet be taken down. Freedom of the Seas" is a phrase of which we have heard a good deal lately. There are different ideas FREEDOM OF THE SEAS. ideas as to its precise meaning. The engaging Count Reventlow, as might have been ex- pected, has its own interpretation, wnicn may or may not be the official German one. It has, at any rate, a decidedly Ger- man appearance. "What we understand to-day by this doctrine," he says, is that Germany should possess such maritime territory, with naval bases, that at times of war we should be able, with our navy ready, to obtain for ourselves the command Of the seas." Count Reventlow is per- I fectly frank. "Freedom of the seas," ac- cording to him, means the freedom to sweep everybody else off them. Those neutrals who have from time to time com- plained of the- sea way of Britain may well ask themselves if they are likely to be any better off when Germania rules the waves. At the same time, it has to be remembered who and what Count Reventlow is. He is simply a fire-eating German journalist who has said a great many foolish things since the war began. We do not assume even in this country that our journalists speak for the Government and the nation, and though Lord Robert Cecil did Gount Reventlow the honour of quoting him in Parliament, it would perhaps be just as well to remember that lie does not speak for the German Government, while allow- ing that when the German Government does declare itself on the subject its defini- tion of the phrase may be not a bit more acceptable to us than Count Reventlow s. Lord D' Aberron, the Chairman of the liiauor Control Board, had some interest- FUTURE OF THE DUINK TRADE. ing things to say at Man- chester about tho future regulation of the drink trade, and he docs not seem to have nleased the licensed victuallers in his audience. The kasis of State Purchase, when it comes to be dealt with, must be the pre-war profits, he says, and not those at present being made. On this point it is interesting to note that many breweries are paying larger dividends than ever before. Also Lord D'Abernon is not in favour of the restoration of the old conditions as to hours, nor as to the prices charged for drink. At present prices, he says, intoxi- cants are not only being sold but fought for. He is of the opinion that conducting the trade on these lines will ensure more efficient service and less dangerous tempta- tions. Nobody, in fact, will be one penny the worse, but considerably the better, and he declares that it will be possible to in- crease the State revenue from the "Trade" to between eighty and a hundred millions annually. To sum up, he said that the taxation of alcohol could furnish the inte- rest on about £ 2,000,000,000 of war debt, without reducing trade profits below the pre-war standard; and that this taxation, taken together with the alleviations and developments rendered possible, would con- duce to maintaining sobriety and national efficiency at their present high level, and would facilitate social progress. After which his audience, packed by licensed victuallers, passed, with cheers, a resolu- tion calling upon Lord D'Abernon to resign from the Board of Control! One of the very many interesting items (tf tnews which come over from America BOMBS BY THE MILLION. these days is one sta-ting that Congress is being asked to vot." ;jv(,r fifty- five million pounds— pounds 1 f,), aeroplane "ombs. It will be a conger, task for those who are expert in these things to work out just how many bombs can be hiade for the money. The Americans have along intended to do great things in the air. They are making machines by the thousands, and training airmen by tens of thc)tlsands, and they are, it seems, going to Hianufacture bombs by the million. The new8 should give the enemy furiously to think.

-TEA TABLE TALK.| .
TEA TABLE TALK. | Lady Angela Forbes is a sister of the Earl of Rosslyn and of Millicent, Duchess of Sutherland. At the age of twenty she mar- ried Lieutenant-Colonel James Stewart Forbes, of Aslound, Aberdeenshire, whom she divorced in the Scottish courts in 1906, after they had been separated for two years. Lady Angela has travelled a great deal, and has written a book, "Broken Commandment, which, it was announced, had been banne d by four of the libraries. In 1910 she opened a flower shop in Bond-street, London, which she named My Shop." Miss Gertie Millar, the actress, tells the following story in illustration of the dreari- ness of the Scotch "S&wbath." One fine Sunday morning, after a week's engage- ment in Glasgow, ehe left her hotel for a brief walk. It was a bright morning, and as she was strolling along George-square, feeling and looking fit and well, she notioed a policeman gazing at her in stern disap- proval. Presently he approached her and said: "Ye had better tak' care, m'lady, what ye're doing." "Why, what am I doing?" aaked Miss Millar in surprise, add- ing archly; "I'm not singing, nor even whistling, "No," replied the Glaswegian, in solemn and reproving tones, "but do ye no ken. young woman, that this is the Saw- bath? And yû'ro looking as happy as if it were .Monday." < Sister Eileen King, Q.A.I.M.N.S., Who has been awarded the Military Medal "for bravery and devotion to duty during an air raid on a casualty clearing station, when although wounded she continued to attend to the injured," comes from Brisbane, where she received her training. A number of nurses have now earned this decoration, which is only awarded in cases where they are wounded in the actual fulfilment of their duties. An amusing story is told concerning Lady Sybil Grant, daughter of the Earl of Rtose- bery- It appears that her ladyship, who ia an enthusiastic war worker, assisted in wait- ing upon some wounded soldiers at a concert and tea got up for their entertainment. At the close of the meal one of the guests, not in the least realising who she was, shyly offered her a tip, which was politely de- clined. "I really don't need it, you know," said Lady Sybil' smilingly. "I've got plenty of money." "Is thp-t so?" exclaimed the soldier, in tones of evident surprise, allow- ing his gaze to rest on the plain linen over- all she had donned for the occasion. "You've got plenty of money, have you?" Lady Sybil nodded assent. "Well, miss," was the somewhat disconcerting reply, "you'll excuse me saving so, won't you? But—you don't look it.' Lady Dynevor has the brains and social tact that one would expect from a daughter of the Dowager Lady Jersey (says the "Queen "), but of late years she has lived a quiet home-life with her young children. She has three sons and one daughter; the latter is now fourteen, and has the pretty name of Imogen. The Rice family love Welsh names, and her sons are Uryan, El- wyn, and David, and her sisters-in-law are Nest, Gladys, and Gwonllian. Lord Dyne- vor is head of an ancient family, and claims descent from King Arthur. Dynevor Castle, which dates from 1599, stands on the banks of the Towy, in Car- marthenshire. Among the fine old furniture are two quaintly carved chairs, which once belonged to eome Cymric chieftain. The Dynevor title has some interest, for the first baron was the first Earl Talbot who, as he had no malo issue (the earldom ex- pired at his death), was given this barony with remainder to his daughter, Lady Cecil Talbot, who married the Eight Hon. George Rice, The title is spelt Dinevor in the Roll of the Lords, but m everyday life it ap- pears as Dynevor. "The funniest love-letter I ever received," says Miss Phyllis Dare, "was one of the longest. The opening sentences ran:"Who'a MMo Darc,-l think I hear you say. Who a this addressing me as Dear with a capital D?" Well, Mile, do not think me daring that I dare address you as dear, for you are very dear to me. Although you may never have set eyes on me, I have known and loved you for some years now. It was in a little country theatre that I first gazed upon your divinely beautiful face. Of course there was no formal introduction. You came; I saw; you conquered. I was only a youngster at the time, and you have never known, but I kissed you, yes, I kissed you twice on the same place. Did you object? Ah, remem- brance Ah, innocence! Of course, Miss Dare, it was your photograph I kissed, but I would rather kiss your photograph than anv other girl's face/ And so on, for several closely-written pages!" • Miss Hilda Trevelyan considers that the quaintest love-letter she ever received came to her when she was playing the part of Wendy in "Peter Pan." It was from a little boy, and began as follows: "I love you, Wendy. How far can you climb up a tree?" The writer wound up with a formal proposal of marriage, and added the information that his mother did not object, but that, on the contrary, she was quite willing to accept "Dear Hilda" as a daughter-in-law. < Mrs. Zangwill, speaking at a Women's Freedom League meeting, said that she could remember when one could walk from Cheapside to Liverpool-street without meet- ing a woman. "In 18G7," she added, "the appearance of a woman in the City would have been as surprising as her appearance in a Trappist monastery. A woman reporter would have seemed as impossible as a male wetnurse, but I understand that to-day the very printer's devil has taken on the femi- nine gender. I love to think of the women of those days, with their crinolines and ring- lets, their pouts and dimples, looking up from their Berlin woolwork. They were very engaging, and it is not surprising that to the men they wore always the darlings.' To-day we see women in oilskins and knickerbockers, and in close caps and over- alls—munitioneers—engaged on a different kind of Berlin work! As women in khaki go by I hear men exclaim, f The Waacs! but never The darlings.' Men are perhaps less tender towards women, but they are more respectful. I wave an affectionate farewell to those mid-century damsels. They were darlings,' but we are proud of our Waacs." • • • Miss Lucille Benstead, the Australian soprano who is so popular with British audi- ences, tells the following amusing story. "An American," she says, "waited in a nice long queue for the period of three sticks of chewing-gum. He was very affable, and amused all those around him. When he arrived, a sticky mass was thrust into his hand, and he said politely, Heavens, what's this?' 'No tea,' said the girl; 'but you can have a pound of soap.' < Well, I'll be Wilsoned! said the American. Is this or is this not the early door for "Yes, Uncle"?'" » Miss Lily Elsie, the actress, tells how her famous dance in the "Merry Widow" was evolved. "At rehearsals, the waltz was a most conventional affair," she says. "One day, after a tedious rehearsal, Mr. Coyne and I were requested to go through our dance once again. 'Come along! Let's get it over quickly! blurted Mr. Coyne. And we whirled away in a very frenzied fashion. The effect was so successful that our inter. pretation of the waltz was introduced intc the actual production."
COLOUR IN QUARTZ. I
COLOUR IN QUARTZ. I The colours of certain varieties of quartz have caused much perplexity. Chemical, microscopic and heating tests have been ap- plied, and the conclusions are that a trace of manganese gives the colour of the amethyst. Rose quartz dees not seem to be coloured by any inorganic impurity or microscopic inclusion. But the blue of certain quartz, found in Virginia and elsewhere, is attri- buted to the action of light on minute in- clusions of rutHe (reddish brown mineral) and not, 1M has been suggested, t. a state of strata.

DRESS OF THE DAY. DRESS OF. THE DAY. I A NEAT LITTLE COSTUME. I It would be difficult indeed to find any, t thing smarter, neater, or more thoroughly satisfactory than the new costumes shown for early spring wear. In the great majority of cases these are extremely simple in style, are of the strictly tailored type, and are carried out in materials that are pre-emi- nently suitable for hard, serviceable wear; in alwt, they are ideal costumes for war- time conditions. As regards material, nearly all the best models are carried out in traoh materials as serge, gabardine, fine suitings, cheviots, and light-weight tweeds. In colour they are usually either dark or neutral in tone. it being quite the exception to see a well-cut costume in bright-toned fabrics. Navy blue, grey blue, Very dark grey, dark brown, deep mole, a curious, un- [Refer to X 863.] I decided, and very dark tone of bronze, and certain shades of stone, beige, and putty are all very much worn this season, and will be popular right through the coming spring and summer. These plain and quiet toned costumes are admirable for wear with neat tailored shirt6 of crepe de Chine, Georgette, ninon, lawn, muslin, or net. An excellent example of the best type of new costume ia shown in our sketch. This most attractive and becoming costume is carried out in gabardine in a very dark shade of mole. The oat wraps over just a trifle in front, and fastens with a single large button covered with the material. Below this button the edges of the coat were sloped away the merest trifle at each side, and the corners were prettily rounded off. A long breast seam was carried from shoulder to hem on each side of the front, and similarly on each side of the back. Small. aeat revere, and a little notched collar, both raced with the gabardine, turn back from :he small, pointed opening at the neck. The sleeves, which are quite plain, have no cuffs at the wrist, but are simply ornamented by two buttons at the back of each arm. The skirt is of the latest slim type, and hangs with particularly- graceful, effect. The front is plain, but six flat pleats, well pressed and well taped, are laid at the back of the skirt. A neat belt of the material completes this very smart model. PRACTICAL ECONOMIES. I [Refer to X 864.] I the cold weather. Unpick a shabby pair of men's flannel trousers, sponge and press, and when you lay out the material you will be astonished to find how much you have to cut at. The pilot coat can be cut oig of an old overcoat. A good many cloths, although shabby on the right side, will reverse, and may stand any amount of extra wear. I CHECKED TRIMMINGS. I I notice that quite a number of the very smartest new frocks sent over from Paris show trimmings of some checked material or other. The favourite checked materials for the purpose are silk, linen, fine cloth, and velvet, and, generally speaking, the favourite design is a rather small block check of black and white. This looks well upon materials of almost any colour, but is at its best, I think, upon fabrics of a rather light shade of beige. It also looks remark- able well upon mole, dark blue, Saxe blue, and champagne. I NEW MILLINERY. I Quite a number of the newest hats for early spring wear are of toque-like small- ncfis, and fit snugly and closely to the hair, always a smart and effective form of head- gear, especially for the woman who is past her first youth. Several of these models show a most satisfactory alliance of straw and fabric, preferably soft satin, taffetas, or a curious material that looks like cotton crepe, but is really verv much better in quality. Trimming is still very restrained, and in many cases almost non-existent. Up- turned brims are promised marked popu- larity in the near future. Paper patterns can be supplied, price 6J. When ordering, please quote number, en- close remittance, and address to Miss Liale, 8, La Belle Sauvage, London, E.C.

ALL TEA 2s. 8d. PER LB. I :t is officially announced that all tea will 801ll be sold at one price, 2s. 8d. per lb., and wil be known as "National Control Tea." It wil, however, be some weeks before every retailer can get a stock. "he tea will be classified in three grades to enable individual traders to prepare "bends" to suit special circumstances, such as hardness of water, but there is a direct prchibition of the retail sale of the lowest quality grade unblended. Traders are given until March 18 in which to dispose of their stoeks of other teas at the present fixed prises, but they must also sell National Con- tro tea as it become available to them.

WOMAN'S HOARD OF TEA. I At Chipping Norton Police-court, Mrs. Elfen Hinde, of Shipton-under-Wychwood, was summoned for having in her possession 1251bs. of tea and 36lbs. of coffee. Jlr. J. B. Matthews, K.C., who defended, arued that tea and coffee were not food but drink, and that the prosecution could not be maintained. The magistrates fined Mrs. Hilde 4:50 end EIO costs, and ordered 112bs. of tea to be confiscated. They agreed to state a case. ♦
The results of the medical examinations of 200000 London school children in the third ( tern of 1917 are the best ever reported, the pertentage of children in a poorly-nourished condition being considerably less than half the percentage in 1913.

SIR WILLIAM ROBERTSON SUCCEEDED…
SIR WILLIAM ROBERTSON SUCCEEDED BY SIR HENRY WILSON. The following statement was issued I through the Press Bureau on Saturday evening:— GENERAL SIR WILLIAM ROBERTSON, I The extension of the functions of the Per- manent Military Representative decided on by the Supreme War Council at their last meeting at Versailles has necessitated a limitation of the special powers hitherto exercised by the Chief of the Imperial General Staff by virtue of the Order in Council on January 27, 1916. In these circumstances the Government thought it right to offer to General Sir William Robertson the choice of becoming British Military Representative on the Supreme War Council at Versailles or of continuing as Chief of the Imperial General Staff under the new conditions. Sir Wiliam Robertson, for reasons which will be explained in a statement which will be made by the Prime Minister in the House of Commons as early as possible during the coming week, did not see his way to accept either position, and the Govern- ment have with much regret accepted his resignation. General Sir Henry Wilson has accepted the position of Chief of the Imperial General Staff. The appointment of the British Perma- nent Representative at Versailles will be announced in a few days.

ITHE KING TO SERBIA.I
I THE KING TO SERBIA. I The members of the Serbian Industrial Mission, headed by the Serbian Minister, were received by the King at Buckingham Palace on Monday. The King, in a speech delivered in French, said? Gentlemen, I wish to express to you the great pleasure it gives me to receiver here to-day the members of the Serbian Industrial Mission. We have not forgotten, and we shall never forget, the heroic resistance of the Serbian nation, and we appreciate to the full the action of your gallant trccps. who are now fighting side by side with our own, upon the Macedonian front; but that is not the only reason for which we welcome you here to-day. The national life of our two nations is bawed upon the samo principles of liberty and justice, and it is this which makes us certain that, after the war, we can count upon the closest commercial relations be- tween Serbia and Great Britain. We are confident that before long Serbia will be re-established. You will then be faced with the task of making good the de- v;j?tation caused by the enemy, and how- I ever formidable that task may be, you may r count upon the cordial co-operation of all classes of my people.

Mr. Herbert Muskett, prosecuting, said the defendant was a gamester and gaming-house keeper who had apparently done eo well out of the business that she was able to invest in War Bonds and keep a banking account which showed very large sums pud to her credit. In consequence of complaints the police raided the premises and found poker being played for very high stakes by I "persons of good social standing."

MERCHANT HEROES. I In the House of Commons on Monday Mr. George Lambert asked when a recognition of the silent heroism of sailors who had been torpedoed more than once and who were still braving the submarine danger, would take place.

, OUR CHILDREN'S CODER
OUR CHILDREN'S CODER BL UNCLE RALPH. FEEDING THE 6HEEP. Jean was a little French boy. Ho lived with his father and mother and aiater Anna in a little village in Pr»*«o. His father was a fanner and had a gpea-t many ghew and lamba and oows. Joam weed to take a great delight in feeding the eheep and iambs, although at first he was rather afraid of them, but Yon7 aeon he got to bow them and they got to know him. He soon found out that theJ were very i?Qd of salt, and so he used to get eonae from the kitchen and go down to the fields with Anna; and presently some of tie sheep aiut lambs would come trottiug 1ip to where the* were standing, and begin to poke their nosea into his pinafore and try to gM at the sal; Then Jean would be dehght-eo, and would fill his little hands full and feed the pretty gentle creatures ae long aa the food lasted, and they were so glad that they had a little friend like Jean. He was not so friendly with the eows. but then they were very much bigger, of course. THE NEW TEACHER. "I shan't like her a said Gladys. "I shall hate her, I know," said Dorothy. "She can't be ae nice as Miss Katie," aaia Patty. "Nobody coild," said Ronald. They were all standing by the new foun- tain in the park, talking about- the new teacher who was coming to the school that day. Presently Ronald said. "I am so thirsty, I -should like a drink of water," but nobody could reach up high enough, and they did not know what tie do. "Can I he-lo?" said a voice behind them. They turned round and there was Miae Jessie—the sister of their dear Miss Katie.. She got Ronald the water, and then they all began to tell her about the aevr teacher. Miss Jessie listened with a grave face. "Do you know her n=ol" slio said, after a little while. "No," said Gladys. "Don't want to> grumbled Dorothy. "Horrid old thing!' said Patty. "I s'pect it's something nasty,said Ronald. Just then they reached th* school-house door. There were several children waiting. Miss Jessie took out a key asd put it in the look. "Are you coming in. Miss JesEiet" said G lad VB. "Yes," said Miss Jessie, smiling, tfyou eoe, I'm the new teacher!" PIP, THE CHICKEN. "Pip," said old Mrs. Hon, "do bo careful what you are doing, you very nearly pecked vour sister. You really are a most trouble- some child." Pip, the little chicken, saul nothing, but looked very much offended. He was cer- tainly a very trying child. He always thought that he knew beet. Only that very morning Mr. Rooster, his father, had said to him that he was on no account to go into the barn at the corner of the yard, and when Pip asked why not, he would only say that he was not to aak too many ques- tions. Now, Pip wanted to know very badlv why he was not to go into the barn. In the ordinary way, of courso. he would not have wanted to go there at tul. But now he felt as if he must go there at once So as soon as his father and mother were safely out of the way. he said to his brothers and sifters: Good-bye, you silly little things. I'm going to see what there is in the barn." Of course, all his little brothers and sisters hean to try to persuade him Hot to do anything of the kind, but Pip paid no attention to them, and set off by himself. It was a long way (at least for a chicken), and it seemed very dark when he got there. He went in. however, and marched up to the corner of the barn where lie thought he saw two lights shining m the darkness. As scon as he got up to them, however, he .?con is lie rzot up tci turned round and came back much quicker than he had come, fer what do you think they were? They were the eyes of a big catj who had make a sort of nest in the barn, and who would have been very glad to make a. meal off Pip if he had only stopped. But. you may be sure that he ran away as fat as he could, and ever after that he was willing to do as people told him with- out going to see for himself. THE MESSENGER BOY. They were all getting very tired and per- haps just a little cross, when he came. And somehow, he had such a bright smile, and he seemed to take such an interest in what they showed him, that they all liked him directly. He had come with a message from Uncle Fred to Mother, and he was ivaitinz for the answer in the nursery. He thought that Peggy's doll was beautiful, and he made Kumfrev laugh at once by letting him pull off his cap. Ursula asked him if he had ever seen the King, and when he said he had. she was delighted with him. Frances found that he knew something about geo- graphy. and iust as she was talking to him about "Asia the door opened and Father and Mother came in. He had brought tickets for the pantomime from Uncle Fred. Wasn't he a nice messen- ger boy? COUSIN DOROTHY'S STORY. "Once upon a time," said Cousin Dorothy, there was a Princess "Oh. I know, said Marjorie, "and ehe found a Frog and knocked it against a wall. and it turned into a Prince- I don't like that story a bit." "That wasn't my story at all," said Cousin Dr-rothy. 'mine was about a Princess "Slept, on p. bed with a pea in it," broke in Marjoiie again, "that is a Billy !rl.oq. Marjorie was rather cross, I am afraid, but then she had been ill and had a head- ache. so there was some excuse for her. N o," said Cousin Dorothy, smilin(X and drawir.f Marjorie closer to her, my story is better than that; I think you had better wait and hear the end of it. My princess's naPh" was Marjorie, and the King and Queen her father and mother were far away over the sea." "That's like me," said Marjorie, sadly. "And one day there came a .Iettk-r' paid Cousin Dorothy. Marjorie looked 'Qp. "Which said they were coming home," went on Cousin Dorothy. "Oh when? when, Cousin Dorothy?" asked Marjorie. "Now—to-day?" "No, to-morrow," said Cousin Dorothy, "How do you like my story?" THE TIGER AND THE BOAR. This is a story about a tiger. He was al fine, large fellow with very be-autiful stripes, and he thought himself very grand, end nearlv every other animal was afraid of him. But Tusks, the little wild boar, was not a bit afraid of him he was not afraid of any- one. Now, once when Tusks was quite little he had fallen down and hurt himself, and a man had picked him up and been very kind to him and nursed him until he got well. So Tusks had always remembered this, and when he heard the fine, large tiger say that he was goino, to have a look round the village to see what he could pick up, the little wild boar said to himself, "All right, my fine fellow, I'll be there, too!" And he went after him, and, sure enough, the fine, large tiger was just going to make a spring at a little baby that was plaving- inside a hut, when Tusks rushed up and stamped his little foot and said, "Gô away, you big coward Go away, or I will fight you! This man who lives here is a friend of mine, and I won't let you eat up his little baby Go away I" And what do you think the fine, large tiger with the beautiful stripes did? He put his tail between his legs and rau away!

Human actions created the Salton Sea, California's largest lake – here's how to save it from collapse, protecting wild birds and human health
The Salton Sea spreads across a remote valley in California's lower Colorado Desert, 40 miles (65 kilometers) from the Mexican border. For birds migrating along the Pacific coast, it's an avian Grand Central Station. In midwinter tens of thousands of snow geese, ducks, pelicans, gulls and other species forage on and around the lake. Hundreds of other species nest there year-round or use it as a rest stop during spring and fall migration.
At the dawn of the 20th century, this massive oasis didn't even exist. It was created in 1905 when Colorado River floodwaters breached an irrigation canal under construction in Southern California and flowed into a basin that had flooded in the past. In earlier years, the sea covered roughly 40 square miles more than its current size of 343 square miles (890 square kilometers).
Since then, agricultural runoff from newly formed nearby irrigation districts has sustained it. By midcentury, the sea was considered a regional amenity and stocked with popular sport fish.
Now, however, this resource is in trouble. Wasteful irrigation practices that maintained the sea have been reduced, and excess water is now being transferred to thirsty coastal cities instead. The sea's volume has declined to roughly 4.6 million acre-feet, losing nearly 3 million acre-feet since the mid-2000s. (An acre-foot is about 326,000 gallons – the amount of water required to cover an acre of land to a depth of one foot).
As water evaporates from its surface, its salinity has spiked: The sea is now almost twice as salty as the Pacific Ocean.
The Salton Sea is a large inland lake in southeastern California fed by Colorado River irrigation water from farms in the Imperial Valley.
Legislative Analysts's Office, state of California, CC BY-ND
In November 2022, the federal government pledged US$250 million for environmental restoration and dust suppression at the Salton Sea. It's a historic contribution, but experts agree that other critical steps are needed.
We just completed more than a year of service to the California Salton Sea Management Program's Independent Review Panel, which was charged with evaluating proposals to import water to the sea. In our view, the panel's recommendations represent the best path forward. They also reflect the complexity of managing water in the increasingly dry U.S. Southwest, where other water bodies, such as Utah's Great Salt Lake, share the same general challenges of net water loss.
An ecosystem on the brink
There's no question that the Salton Sea desperately needs a fix. Rising salinity threatens worms, crustaceans and other organisms that make up the base of the sea's food web and has killed off many of its fish species. Without intervention, the sea's entire ecosystem could collapse.
The sea's declining water levels also threaten human health. Nearby residents, who are mostly low-income people of color, already experience high rates of respiratory illness. A recent study found that dust mobilized by wind blowing across the playa triggers lung inflammation.
Without government intervention, the sea would reach a lower equilibrium size by 2045 that matches smaller inflows with evaporation losses. Even greater areas of playa would be exposed, potentially generating even more airborne dust.
Land managers and local residents explain how the Salton Sea's decline is affecting people and wildlife.
Many bad options
The state review panel analyzed strategies for adding water to the Salton Sea as a long-term restoration strategy. Most of the proposals envisioned pulling water from Mexico's Sea of Cortez, 125 miles to the south, desalinating it and moving it north by canal.
These schemes called for building immense desalination plants along the Sea of Cortez, up to 10 times bigger than California's Claude "Bud" Lewis plant in Carlsbad – the largest such facility in the United States.
The proposals could not overcome three significant problems. First, they were projected to cost many tens of billions of dollars and take more than 20 years to complete. Second, they threatened to inflict nasty environmental consequences on the Sea of Cortez, dumping huge quantities of brine into sensitive and protected marine ecosystems and turning pristine beaches into industrial zones. Third, Mexico would derive little benefit from building a huge desalination plant in a remote area, other than some jobs from building and running the plant.
These satellite photos show how the Salton Sea shrank between 1984 and 2015, exposing dry playa around its edges (move slider to compare years).
Focus on salinity, not size
Ultimately, the panel concluded that expanding the Salton Sea to its former size was less important than controlling its salinity. The panel made four recommendations that center on building a desalination plant at the Salton Sea to the treat water that's already there.
This plant would remove 200 million gallons of high-salinity water daily from the Salton Sea and produce 100 million gallons per day of desalinated water, which would be returned to the Salton Sea. In short order, this exchange would begin to significantly lower its overall salinity.
A desalination plant using reverse osmosis generates a brine stream equal to approximately half the volume of the treated seawater. Accordingly, the panel called for California to negotiate a voluntary paid transfer program in which the state would pay farmers to transfer enough water to the Salton Sea to replace the volume of brine removed at the desalination plant. The net effect would keep the sea from becoming even smaller and hasten the process of lowering salinity.
The desalination plant would generate an immense quantity of salt, which would require careful disposal. The panel recommended drying out the brine in evaporation ponds and transferring dried salts from the ponds to landfills or industrial uses.
Finally, the panel called for California to step up support for an aggressive program to stabilize the exposed playa. Techniques could include planting vegetation on the playa and plowing long rows of furrows to reduce dust mobilization during wind storms. The estimated total cost for this plan is $63 billion, compared with $95 billion-$148 billion for various proposals to desalinate and import water from the Sea of Cortez.
Since 2020, the state has conducted pilot projects to reduce dust blowing off the playa, with promising early results. The federal government's $250 million pledge will enable this work to move more quickly.
Stabilizing the playa is essential to address significant public health concerns associated with windborne dust, although more must be done regionally to fully address air quality problems.
Looking forward, not backward
This approach will not satisfy critics who want to restore the Salton Sea to its maximum volume. These advocates recall the mid-20th century when the sea was a tourism draw and would like to reconnect the few small towns that once bordered the sea, which are now separated by extensive playa. Expanding the sea to its original size also would address concerns about playa-sourced air pollution.
In our view, however, the panel's recommendations offer a genuine opportunity to solve the main problems: blowing dust and increasing salinity. This solution is more likely to actually be implemented than an enormous binational desalination project. It would happen more quickly, at about half the cost of the binational importation options.
We believe that the sooner California officials accept the reality of a smaller Salton Sea, the sooner the state can move ahead, focusing on air quality improvement and ecological restoration.

44 hospitals and counting (places I have put someone on CPB).
Part of what has made Circuit Surfer's uniquely successful is the ability to connect cardiac surgery to metaphors in life, and remind us not only of our own humanity, but also why we put so much of our personal affairs on hold- in order to make our patients' lives continue on- and hopefully better.
Every operation has it's own story as does each patient in their own way- have a connection to you, the perfusionist. All of us have run across patients that presented with their personally unique tattoos, and certainly that has elicited quite a few conversations as to the meaning, the significance, or a suggestion (whether correct or incorrect) of the lifestyle choice we see before us. It's a natural transition to apply preconceptions to what we see in front of us- and make some sort of judgement whether good or bad. In some cases- what we see directly in front of us is all we have to go by (emergencies and lack of a coherent H & P).
Back in the day, it was a sure sign of active duty in the military, some have associated tatoos to be a sort of ghetto thing/prison or gang related, and in the past decade- tattoos have evolved to become body art, and considerably less demonized, and more respected.
Now in terms of "Body Art" as a metaphor for what we do- well that connection is obvious. Heart surgery is the ultimate form of body art- no question about it… A total rerouting of your coronary circulation system, or a modification and reshaping of any anatomically deficient valve or critical vascular structure. It's called the "zipper club" for a reason. The surgeons' ability to repair a critical defect, and make it functional- or even improve cardiac performance is what distinguishes a technician from an artist.
In relation to this series, as a locums perfusionist, it has significance because on a day with no cases we actually have a chance to get out and live a little. So I decided to get a tattoo here in my home town of West Lafayette.
The story below is a chronology of my choice to pick my own form of body art as a personal preference, as opposed to body art out of necessity (sternotomy = reshaping of coronary vasculature = tattoo).
Big day! About to get me a TAT!
Is this what it feels like in Pre-Op Holding?
Well the tattoo was done in two stages (based on my on-call status) and it was a very unique experience. I caught a glimpse of a different side to life, and it was fun to get away from the medical paradigm we all live in, and peek into another dimension so to speak. The crew was great, Chad is excellent as well as Asia. Very good at what they do, and have the same level of self confidence and pride in their work as anyone on our heart teams.
The banter in the tattoo parlor was no different than what we do as we are setting up for a case, and there were remarkable similarities in terms of the process.
And… The big reveal! A super nice TAT- and a tribute to my wife Kashmir!
I've got new ink for you!

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy affects people from all walks of life; men, women, athletes, soldiers, abused women and children and people with disabilities. Even if you don't suffer a concussion, milder, repeated head trauma may eventually result in CTE.
Here are the stories of a few people who have been either diagnosed with CTE or with symtoms consistent with CTE. By sharing their stories we hope we can help you better understand the symptoms and scope of this debilitating condition.
Francis Newton Gifford (August 16, 1930 – August 9, 2015) was an American football player and television sports commentator. After a 12-year playing career as a running back and flanker for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL), he was a play-by-play announcer and commentator for 27 years on ABC's Monday Night Football.
Gifford won the NFL Most Valuable Player Award in 1956, the same season he won his only NFL Championship. During his career, he participated in five league championship games and was named to eight Pro Bowls. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977. After retiring as a player, Gifford was an Emmy Award-winning sportscaster, known for his work on ABC's Monday Night Football, Wide World of Sports and the Olympics. He was married to television host Kathie Lee Gifford from 1986 until his death on August 9, 2015.
In November 2015, Gifford's family revealed that he had suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The family said, "After losing our beloved husband and father, Frank Gifford, we as a family made the difficult decision to have his brain studied in hopes of contributing to the advancement of medical research concerning the link between football and traumatic brain injury … We decided to disclose our loved one's condition to honor Frank's legacy of promoting player safety dating back to his involvement in the formation of the NFL Players Association in the 1950s.
Ken Stabler
Kenneth Michael "Ken" Stabler (December 25, 1945 – July 8, 2015), nicknamed "Snake," was an American football quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for the Oakland Raiders (1970–1979), Houston Oilers (1980–1981) and New Orleans Saints (1982–1984). He played college football for the University of Alabama.Stabler was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.
Stabler died of colon cancer on July 8, 2015, at the age of 69. He had been diagnosed with the disease since February 2015. In February 2016, the New York Times reported that researchers at Boston University discovered high Stage 3 chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in Stabler'sbrain after his death. Dr. Ann McKee of Boston University told The Associated Press that the disease was widespread throughout his brain, with "quite severe" damage to the regions involving learning, memory and regulation of emotion.
In 2015, the XOXO Stabler Foundation a 501c(3) nonprofit founded by former NFL quarterback Ken Stabler took up a cause that directly affected the foundation's chairman: sports-related brain trauma.
The foundation's new initiative XOXO Game Plan for Change is focused on changing the course and culture of contact sports to increase sports safety and reduce brain trauma in athletes. To facilitate change, the XOXO Stabler Foundation funds research on related brain diseases, methods of treatment and prevention, and educational outreach.
Owen Thomas
An autopsy conducted in 2010 on the brain of Owen Thomas, a 21-year-old junior lineman at the University of Pennsylvania who committed suicide, showed early stages of CTE, making him the second youngest person to be diagnosed with the condition. The doctors who performed the autopsy indicated that they found no causal connection between the nascent CTE and Thomas's suicide. There were no records of Thomas missing any playing time due to concussion, but as a player who played hard and "loved to hit people," Thomas may have played through concussions and received thousands of subconcussive impacts on the brain.
Nathan Stiles
In October 2010, 17-year-old Nathan Stiles died hours after his high school homecoming football game, where he took a hit that would be the final straw in a series of subconcussive and concussive blows to the head for the highschooler. He was later diagnosed with CTE, making him the youngest reported CTE case to date.
Ryan Freel
Ryan Freel was a promising American professional baseball player, whose talent allowed him to slide to first for a variety of teams in Major League Baseball. Known as a "utility player," Freel played such positions as second base, third base, and all three outfield positions for numerous teams including the Toronto Blue Jays, Cincinnati Reds, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago Cubs, and Kansas City Royals. Known for winning games at any cost, Freel was a rough and tumble kind of player who would charge headfirst into the home plate, recklessly dive to catch balls, and would put the team ahead of his own well-being.
Playing six seasons for the Toronto Minor Leagues, Ryan Freel would soon make his major league debut on April 4, 2001. As a free agent, Freel was sought after for his impressive abilities to hit home runs, thrive in the outfield and to steal bases. In his best year, Freel would go on to hit .277 with 3 home runs, 28 RBI, 37 stolen bases, and score 74 runs in 143 games for the Reds in 2004. Not only was Ryan well respected for his talent, but also for his kindness to his fans. However, Ryan Freel's fearlessness came with some drawbacks, as the unrelenting concussions during his MLB career would pose a greater threat than the batter on the opposing team.
To Ryan Freel, concussions were just another aspect of his daily life that he endured, as head injuries became commonplace to him even as a child. These injuries would only follow into his MLB career. Suffering yet another head injury in 2009 with the Baltimore Orioles, Freel was added to the disabled players list and retired the following year. Struggling with the repercussions of his head injuries, Freel was found dead on December 22, 2012 as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
On May 28, 2007, Ryan Freel suffered another terrible head injury on the outfield as he dove into another player while catching a ball, damaging both his neck and his head. After only a month and 5 days following the incident, Freel would return to play baseball. Suffering yet another head injury in 2009 with the Baltimore Orioles, Freel was added to the disabled players list and retired the following year. Struggling with the repercussions of his head injuries, Freel was found dead on December 22, 2012 as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A year after his death, the Boston University School of Medicine officially diagnosed Freel with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) when testing his brain tissue after death.

Born in Ontario, Canada, Eric Lindros has always felt at home on the ice. Spanning a long career playing hockey, Lindros played for such teams as the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars.
Standing at 6 ft. 4 in., Lindros could stand up to most anyone on the ice; however, a long span of injuries suffered while playing hockey caused Lindros to miss significant playtime and to question not only his physical health, but also his mental health. Lindros came to fear that the multiple concussions sustained while playing hockey would change the direction his life was taking.
Lindros believed the relentless concussions were causing him to become highly aggressive and to lose his sense of self — symptoms commonly associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Depression, marital strife, as well as suicidal thoughts plagued his mind as a result of the multiple head injuries. Currently, Lindros is a compelling advocate who strongly encourages anyone with traumatic brain injuries or CTE-related symptoms to get essential treatment.
Currently, Lindros is a compelling advocate who strongly encourages anyone with traumatic brain injuries or CTE-related symptoms to get essential treatment. While the study and research of CTE is still ongoing, it is important to acknowledge the condition so that future hockey players may enjoy a bright future beyond their career.

We see little debate at this point that cyber security emerged as the leading priority for corporate IT in 2014 and has only grown more important this year. We believe that IT budgets for security have seen a noticeable uptick from last year and we look for spending to continue strong into 2016. The dramatic increase in both the number and effectiveness of attacks has put pressure not only on the corporate world but also governments at all levels to more effectively lock down key cyber assets including data, finances and applications.
This rapid acceleration in the volume and severity of breaches is incredible when you consider that the security market is both mature and has one of the highest adoption rates of any IT space. In critical areas such as firewall, anti-virus, email, access and identity management we have seen broad deployment of technologies over the past two decades but still, particularly in the last few years have seen significant growth in the number of attacks – pointing out the rapid obsolescence of our legacy technology in today's world.

A chassis ground is a link between different metallic parts of a machine to ensure an electrical connection between them. Examples include electronic instruments and motor vehicles.

Usages
 Electronics  Most electronic systems have their circuits reference-linked to the chassis while the chassis itself is often, but not always, linked to the Earth.
 Motor vehicles  Most motor vehicles use the chassis as the reference for all electrical peripherals which allow the use of only one wire for each accessory.

Confusion
The chassis must not be considered as a link to Earth. Depending on the usage of electrical machines, this may or may not be the case. For example, in all cars metallic parts are linked together but they are not linked to the Earth. This explains why one can experience electrical discharge when leaving a car.

Amitabh feels that technology has made music recording complex- Cinema express
Amitabh feels that technology has made music recording complex
The actor has sung a song for his latest film 102 Not out directed by Umesh Shukla
Published: 24th February 2018
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan says the process of recording songs has become more complicated now.
Big B, who has recorded a song titled Badumba for his upcoming film 102 Not Out, wrote on his blog: "The entire concept of recording songs has changed. From being complicated several years ago, it is now even more complicated as the world moves towards modern technology, an inevitability, our sense of recreation preservation and exploitation has become even more complex."
The film also stars veteran actor Rishi Kapoor.
Amitabh's character will be seen as a 102-year-old father to a 75-year-old character of Rishi in the film, directed by Umesh Shukla.
Billed as a most unusual father-and-son love story, the film is based on playwright Saumya Joshi's well-known Gujarati play by the same name.
The film will release on May 4.

The 3 peat and the championship is guaranteed. One loss doesnt make the season. My team even lost a game last season.
Just gives us more motivation.
Come on Gregor. I expected a better article than that.
I said everything important, didn't I? Kevin, great, three-peat, best ever. Any other words would just be filler.
I have been giving u material for 3 seasons now and u finally can get me back and that's all u came up with.
No comment from Kevin on the replay?
I could swear I saw a picture of the Red team with Championship medals on Facebook today. I know this is not possible as Black was guaranteed to win. Must be another photoshop trick.
I still had the best team this season, By far. Unfortunately had trouble getting people for the games there at the end of the season. But that's part of the game I guess.
I would draft the exact same team again if given the opportunity and with all my players, we would go undefeated.
Who's is the Toe anyway ?
Great season of play guys. Unfortunately, Its a game of luck, skills and bounces. You win some and you lose some. So with that we move onto the next season.

Defining Physical Characteristics
Someone asked me today what color my hair was... I didn't have it in my @nakeds. Another time I was looking at a player and had no idea how tall they were, or heavy.
It should be pretty easy to have a readily and easily used way to see basic coded characteristics about someone.
* How tall
* How heavy
* Color Hair
* Color Skin
* Color Eyes
* Hair Style
All of these things I think are coded. If there could be some kind of modified look command to give these basic physical traits then we wouldn't be reliant on someone giving a good @nakeds or a vague adjective on short-desc.
I asked about this in xgame and was asked by a GM to post it in ideas.
By BC23 at Jan 17, 2020 11:54 AM
IMHO Most player include skin color, height, and build in there short @describe. Sometimes it's not blatant (i.e. Maybe they're not described as average but plain) but it's nothing I've really struggled with any established PC's honestly.
By ReeferMadness at Jan 17, 2020 11:57 AM
Most do, but you shouldn't have to rely on a player to tell you that they are over six foot, that's something you should be able to see whether they put it in their descriptions or not.
Anything that's obvious about a character should not be be obfuscated by anything.
By BC23 at Jan 17, 2020 12:10 PM
Height and build can be summed up by a character's build adjective. I.E. 'Hulking' 'Puny' 'Average' etc. This is visible on a look command at the character, which will return something along the lines of this:
PERSON (average female with HAIRSTYLE wearing SOMETHING IDENTIFIABLE.)
Overall description of your character can be summarized in @describe. Personally, since @nakeds are a thing, I like to put information like how they walk, how they talk or posture themselves, gesticulate, that kind of thing. Information you'd take in with a quick glance, that lends character and depth to your toon.
For @nakeds you really need to cover your bases on the essnetials. What color is your hair, how is it styled? What color are your eyes, are they beady, large and innocent, darting madly about? What's your facial features, does your character have resting bitch face, are they weasely, are they wizened?
If you want to go lazy, just do the obvious and commonly exposed parts. Head, eyes, ears, hands. You don't need to fill out every naked slot, only if it' something memorable. Neck is a good example. If you don't have a scar or tattoo or something, it's an easy assumption to make that your character has one, and it's fairly average. No need to write out 'has an average-looking neck' in the slot.
You can also describe pairs in a single nude slot. Both hands, both eyes, ears, feet, legs, arms, etc.
No need to write "Has a blue orb." in each eye nude, otherwise the repetition will look a little silly.
These are just some examples and tips from my time here! Please be considerate to artist characters if you come in the dome with tattoos. Get them 'retouched' and have them codedly put on your character. Make your character unique and awesome! Average, unremarkable chums are booooring!
By TalonCzar at Jan 17, 2020 12:18 PM
The coded heights and weights are extremely wonky and per Slither are not meant to be taken as gospel. Many characters are like six feet tall and eighty pounds or other silly combinations that they didn't and wouldn't choose.
By Vera at Jan 17, 2020 12:51 PM
I'm surprised "scrut me" isn't a thing. 😮 Seems like the kind of info that would go in there.
By ynk at Jan 17, 2020 1:37 PM
@Vera I always took the height/weight seriously else I would've given my characters less extreme heights. Also, they changed it some time ago, new characters, when choosing height vs. weight, it weighs it to fit the height. For instance, if you are short and thin, you should be thin fitting a short person, so less weight. If you are tall and thin, you should weigh more than a short, thin person. This has been done in an update.
By Veleth at Jan 17, 2020 1:42 PM
I was given a height and weight that were both extreme and absolutely NOT what I wanted for my character. I asked if I had to take it at gospel and was told that yes it was.
Ironically, it's kind of become the central theme of the character, so it's kind of funny how that worked out.
However, I'd want this so I know which of the below I should be typing. Sometimes nakeds are hard to process and they are arbitrary as to what people put in there. Same with descriptions.
:looks up to meet Bob McGanger's eyes with a steely gaze.
:looks down to meet Bob McGanger's eyes with a steely gaze.
By BC23 at Jan 17, 2020 1:46 PM
Less-thsn-ideal suggestion, but you could always just ask OOCly to compare heights when it isn't listed.
I give OOC nudges when things aren't fully discernible by reading a description.
Also, I think if you've taken IC effort to change your weight, you're allowed to request an update. Just make sure it's documented.
@BC23 I almost always got extreme heights whatever my choice was. Weights were weird sometimes too, but way better now after they did that balance on height/weight.
No, many of these body weights are impossible. Nobody is six feet and eighty pounds.
This is why staff doesn't change this for you unless you request to have your body type changed. Someone going from a starving mixer with no stats to a well-fed corpie with super high strength doesn't change weight codedly but it's expected that they adjust their nakeds to look bulkier and healthier.
By Vera at Jan 17, 2020 1:56 PM
I don't remember exactly what months this changed, but I'm just saying they balanced it out more recently. NOT for already made characters, just new ones after that update.
Id love to be able to see someones build if i glance at them. Tall/average/short, fat/average/thin? Sometimes height gets overriden by other things, but itd be nice if glance could tell me what those are.
By Pinklepop at Jan 17, 2020 2:48 PM
Eye color and hair color would be great too. Because it takes me a while to figure out what murky pools of sparkling midnight luminescent breeze in the sunshine of the someday afternoon means sometimes.
Please see my thread here:
https://www.sindome.org/bgbb/game-discussion/game-problems/character-adjectives-413/
Whereby I suggest that a character's build adjective always be visible and not simply overwritten by things like clothing or filth adjectives, but rather have them both shown.
By TalonCzar at Jan 18, 2020 7:04 AM
I think that's a great idea too. With stats and skills I understand some obfuscation is what you want.
But I can't think of any time in my life that I would be unclear if someone is taller or shorter than I am. Heavier or lighter? What color their hair is... etc.
I love the descriptions, both short and long. But I'd say at least 20% or more of the people I look at I can't tell very basic information about them. A Filthy Lithe mona is a nice description, but still doesn't tell me some basic stuff. Things that humans are very good at observing.
So yes, I would be all in favor of your idea, but I'd like something that gets me some basic info as well. Things that are just not hard to notice when you look at someone.
By BC23 at Jan 18, 2020 7:08 AM
I support this purely because it's a bit of a pain to stop RP for a minute or so to look through someone's Shakespearean @nakeds only to find their hair colour or something like that, and I find it happens pretty regularly.
Having the mechanical details of a person listed cleanly would make the job of picturing them a whole lot easier. @Nakeds are nice, but it's often the case that my character is going to ignore 80% of it unless it's relevant to what's happening.
By Sly at Jan 18, 2020 8:17 AM
This sort of thing will end up in the 'glance' command and will not be precise.
By Johnny at Jan 18, 2020 8:20 AM
Yeah, I don't need precise, but something along the lines of:
Taller or Shorter by a lot or a little.
Heavier or Lighter by a lot or a little.
Hair Color.
Eye Color.
Skin Color.
Attractive or not.
Then perhaps some generic traits. Muscular. Unathletic. Etc.
Just things anyone with functioning senses could recognize with no effort.
If you are unhappy with our height/weight combo after chargen, you might try to appeal for a change via a service request.
Also, if gauging exact measurements is your thing...put experience into perception because near sighted people have trouble getting all those sweet details down to a T.
And yeah, glance pretty much does that...sort of.
By ErgoProxy at Jan 18, 2020 12:15 PM
There was an old thread somewhere that stated staff would not be doing height/weight change requests anymore. It was pretty friggin old though.
By Quotient at Jan 18, 2020 12:23 PM
@Quotient
If that thread was too old, it might not be relevant anymore...but I did this less than a year ago. Maybe because I made a very compelling case? I don't know. #humblebrag
But don't worry, the staff will decline or let you know if its not a thing anymore.
I asked via xhelp if I had to keep and RP my height weight. I was already told I have too so that's not really an avenue I can go with.
But as I mentioned earlier, while it seems like the numbers I have in both are highly improbable for a person of their age, it has become a RP point and it's been fun to play. Reversing it now after a few weeks when I have rolled with it thus far would not be cool. It was a rude shock when I started but I'm totally fine with it now.
As for experience in perception, sure that should help, but have you ever met ANYONE who could not tell if you were generally taller or shorter? Heavier or lighter? I haven't. I mean yeah, if you're trying to tell to a couple inches, sure, or a dozen pounds might be the same. But at some point, general physical characteristics should be a given for people to know.
You see someone's build and height when you look at them and this can be further defined in @describe or their nakeds.
You get a very sloppy adjective that doesn't tell you much about what you should be able to see easily.
A lithe mona doesn't tell me if they are taller, shorter, heaver, lighter. It gives be a vague idea of something that is very human to understand and process with little training.
Additionally, you shouldn't have to rely on someone else having a good description to tell that they are black, white, asian, etc. Or that they are taller or shorter than you. These are basic properties that should be easily recognized.
I get that there are systems that CAN describe these things. There are coded numbers and values for all the things I'm asking about. A command that reveals those in some form of detail and uncertainty would be very useful.
I have never had any problem with this unless a player has insufficiently filled out their description, in which case OOC them or xhelp.
I don't see why height and weight are coded into the character at all. Does it have some kind of impact on combat or skills checks? Any kind of checks? Does it change with stat/character progression? How does a new 16 year old immigrant enter the city with horrible stats, weigh 88 lbs at 5 foot 7 and then work out continuously until they're strong and fit as an ox for a year or two and then still weigh 88 lbs and not have grown an inch? I think the community is responsible enough to be able to be asked to write a decent height and weight into their description that may or may not change over time without being meta. Is that just me?
By Plebe at Jan 18, 2020 5:14 PM
If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that might be due to the time you've played the game and having knowledge of people. I have to look at people all the time and often times I am left not knowing some fundamental things about them.
I get that I am likely having info overload a lot of the time, but really, it shouldn't take reading a page of 'l bob' to find out if I'm talking to a hispanic, black, white, asian, etc. person... only to find out they didn't include it. It's a coded thing... I would think a commend that would reveal basic coded info in a non cluttered way would be both pretty easy and useful.
Having to stop the RP to OOC ask if someone is tall so I can decide if I want to look up or down at them is kind of immersion breaking when there could be an easy solution that just reveals some of the coded info that's already in the game.


Secondary preferences for dictionary, etc.
One tweak that I would find really useful. My preferred Bible dictionary is the Anchor Bible Dictionary. However, as with all dictionaries, it does not have everything in it as an entry. When I triple-click on a word in English, if there were not a relevant entry in the ABD, I would love to have the option to pull up the entry in (e.g.) Eerdman's Dictionary, rather than searching the content of the ABD. Basically, I would love to be able to prioritize full entries even if they are not from my first choice of dictionary.


The Attorneys General of Democratic states Washington, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Maryland, New York (plus the District of Columbia) are filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration to block the open source distribution of materials that enable the printing of guns using 3-D printers.
The organization in question is Defense Distributed, which distributes open-source, downloadable 3D-printed gun instructions. After the U.S. State Department forced the removal of the instruction manuals from the Internet, the organization sued. The federal government argued that the manuals violate firearm export laws and a federal judge in the Western District of Texas in 2015 rejected Defense Distributed's effort to temporarily block the government's regulation of its materials, finding that "facilitating global access to firearms undoubtedly increases the possibility of outbreak or escalation of conflict." A federal appeals court agreed.
The United States Supreme Court declined to hear the case but then the federal government settled.
The settlement will give anyone with a 3-D printer access to these weapons, which could mean criminals who cannot legally purchase a firearm.
The settlement requires the government to "temporarily" waive export restrictions on Defense Distributed's downloadable gun files. In order to do this legally, the Administration must get the concurrence of the Department of Defense and provide at least 30 days' notice to Congress. The lawsuit will allege that there is no evidence either of those steps have happened, which violates the Administrative Procedure Act. They will also argue that the settlement violates the Tenth Amendment by infringing on states' rights to regulate firearms. They will ask the court for a nationwide temporary restraining order.

NC vaccine data shows racial disparities with 1st dose
Home / COVID-19 / NC vaccine data shows racial disparities with 1st dose
COVID-19FeaturedInformationResourcesUncategorized
January 11, 2021January 11, 2021The Center Staff
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — North Carolina vaccine data shows there are major racial disparities with the first doses of the COVID 19 vaccines.
New state data shows only eight percent of the doses have gone to African Americans in North Carolina, even though they represent 22% of the state. There's a similar trend among other minority groups, like Hispanics.
Many of those first shipments were limited to healthcare workers, and not the general population yet. Since the vaccines were initially only available to a limited group of people in the first couple of weeks, including many frontline healthcare workers, the data does not necessarily reflect the African American population as a whole.
However, Dr. Karla Robinson said there are disparities with African Americans in the medical field too.
"We [African Americans] are the ones that are most severely affected," said Dr. Karla Robinson, a physician at Urban Housecall. "There is a huge disparity as it relates [to] African American healthcare workers and so I think that may be certainly something we are seeing here."

More than 7,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is the most visited tourist destination in Peru. A symbol of the Incan Empire and built around 1450AD, Machu Picchu was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 and was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.
9. Machu Picchu is made up of more than 150 buildings ranging from baths and houses to temples and sanctuaries.
8. The compound contains more than 100 separate flights of stairs. Most of the individual staircases were carved from one slab of stone.
7. Although many of the stones that were used to build the city were more than 50 pounds, it is believed that no wheels were used to transport these rocks up the mountain. Rather, it is thought that hundreds of men pushed the heavy rocks up the steep mountain side.
6. Many different theories exist about Machu Picchu's purpose—a royal estate and a secret ceremonial center among them.
5. The Incas were some of the best masons in the world. The structures were so well built with a technique called ashlar (stones that are cut to fit together without mortar) that not even a knife blade can fit in between stones.
4. Machu Picchu was only known locally until Yale Professor Hiram Bingham re-discovered the site in 1911. His book, The Lost City of the Incas, was based on his findings.
3. A long-standing dispute between Peru and Yale University has existed over the artifacts collected by Bingham during his exploration of the site. Yale maintains that they own the items while Peru insists they were given on loan.
2. Machu Picchu was an astronomical observatory, and its sacred Intihuatana stone accurately indicates the two equinoxes. Twice a year, the sun sits directly over the stone creating no shadow.
1. Unfortunately, most cities built by the Inca civilization were destroyed by the Spanish conquest. Machu Picchu was in a hidden location—invisible from below—and not found, making it one of the most well-preserved Inca cities and an archeological gem.

WAIT is a project of the Washington AIDS International Foundation, which was initated in 2001 by Dr. Chang Shik Yang. WAIT was initiated by Co-Director Kate Tsubata along with a group of parents and teens in the spring of 2002 as a unique way to reach youth with AIDS prevention information. From one team in Washington DC with 12 youth, WAIT has spread out, replicating itself to several new states and nations each year, at present to 15 nations and 8 states.
WAIT teams perform in schools, youth centers, health organizations and community events, in local areas, and internationally. WAIT teams perform at several hundred events each year, more than 2,000 times since our beginning. In 2009, WAIT has active teams in 8 states and 15 nations.
WAIT teaches a factual and scientific presentation which not only shows that abstinence and life partnership are the only realistic ways to stop the AIDS plague, but which also encourages the audience to become part of the fight by using their own talents to give the message to others. Internally, WAIT applies principles of parent/child unity, positive thinking and positive words about self and others, and that it is the love we develop through serving others that will radiate out in the presentations to move the hearts of those we meet.
WAIT is not a faith-based organization, so people of all faiths do participate. However, WAIT members do pray in their own faith tradition, before each activity, and to conclude and offer each thing as well. WAIT does not seek to invite people into one religious teaching, but to act upon the clear teachings of all faiths-that living a life of deliberate purity before marriage and faithful sexuality in marriage is vital to becoming a genuine and contributing person.
The WAIT trainer program will give the participants an amazing experience of working with youth and parents, developing talents and skills as a means of reaching out, learning to set goals and accomplish them, in order to spread the lifesaving message.
