The NHL has two major selling points for it as the playoffs begin. One is Sidney Crosby and how he has a real chance to get to the Stanley Cup Finals this year. The one is the NHL's other major young star, Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals, who have had a miracle run to a playoff birth. Ovechkin's record setting scoring and the Capitals rise to the Southeast Division title made the Capitals the hottest team in the playoffs. But now that Stanley Cup playoff time is here, Ovechkin and the Capitals have to keep their run going against an equally young but more well known team, the Flyers.
The Flyers have been an up and down team all season, but they are currently on one of their hot streaks heading into the Stanley Cup playoffs. Martin Biron is a rare case of a Flyers goalie being an undisputed starter heading into playoff time, with two big shutouts to wrap up the season. Simon Gange is out and Daniel Briere is questionable, but Mike Richards has become a team leader for the Flyers this season. Jeff Carter, Scotty Upshall, and R.J Umberger also make up a group of promising rising stars for the Flyers. Despite the youth effort, the Flyers are still best known for their hard hitting style, which gave them a reputation as a dirty team early in the season. But with no recent suspensions or controversies, coach John Stevens seems to have settled the Flyers down.
Although the Flyers rebounded from having the worst record in the NHL last year to get back to the playoffs, the Capitals are by far the biggest comeback story. A coaching change and a last place mark in mid season seemed to doom the Capitals to another lost season. But new goaltender Cristobal Huet has won 11 out of 13 games since joining the Capitals after the trading deadline. Former NHL superstar Sergei Federov has settled into a supporting role, and Capitals defenseman Jeff Green led all defenseman with 18 goals this season. There's also the matter of 65 goals scored by Ovechkin this season as he is poised for his first Hart Trophy.
The NHL and the playoffs in general will get a lot of attention if Ovechkin and the Capitals advance far in the post season. With Ovechkin's tear and the Capitals storybook run, they would seem destined to go far. But the Flyers still had more points this season than the Capitals, despite being the lower seed. They are both young teams making their first real playoff run in their new eras, so it's a question of which team rises up first. If Ovechkin handles it okay, the Capitals will continue to ride the momentum. But if the Flyers do not get into one of their slumps and actually play at the top level that they are capable of, they are more than able to end this storybook run early. Ovechkin can win one or two games in this series, but can he win four if he has to?


Everybody has heard about the famous cat cafes in Japan, but thanks to the popularity of cat cafes there has started to pop up all kinds of different animal café's in Japan. One very interesting and a bit more unique is the bird café's in which you can find birds from canaries to hawks. From these the most famous maybe being the owl coffee, after all who doesn't want to pet an owl specially after you have seen few of those cute owl videos from youtube. Though as said there are all kinds of animal cafes in Japan, but with this article we are going to concentrate on the different bird cafes you can find form Tokyo.
Some of the places do not allow young children in to them.
You need to remember birds are animals and do not really go to any specific place to poop so you better wear something that does not matter much if it gets dirty, just in case.
Specially owls are birds of prey so their claws are sharp.
Most of the Cafes only accept cash so be prepared for that.
Some of the places do not serve food or drinks.
This lovely little owl café in middle of Akibas sea of people, flashing lights, sound and busy streets there sits a little owl café, that might just be the right place to stop at relax and enjoy the cute owls. Though because it is a little piece of nature middle of the electrical city, it is very busy and it is good to reserve seats beforehand you can reserve it from there site, there will be a link below.
Business hours: 12:00 – 19:00 all days except Tuesdays.
The Falconers café is a bit of a different than the other café's, you are not allowed to touch the birds unless you are a certified falconer yourself. You can watch and take pictures of the birds (no flash). It is more just a place where you can watch and admire the beautiful birds of prey, or if you are a falconer it is a place to talk about your hobby, the place sells falconers gear as well.
The Forest of owl is a chain of café's, what is special about this place is that they do not only have birds in their café's but all kinds of animals, the first Asakusa location even has a monkey in it! So, this place is worth the trip, also with unlimited time you can stay as long as you want with the lovely animals. This is one of the locations with no food or drink services, there is a vending machine you can use though.
Cost: 1200yen for 25 minutes. 2000yen for 60 minutes.
This café has parrots and smaller birds that chirp around while you enjoy your drink. You can watch them while relaxing maybe buy some bird feed and feed the cute little birds, you can also get to pet some of the birds in a special room at the café.
Cost: Only on weekends and holidays 3000 for private room.
There are two café's the ikebukuro one has only owls but the more interesting one is the Kichijoji café which has meerkats and hedgehogs in it as well. Unfortunately, in these cafes you are not able to get anything to eat, only drinks.
This is another Owl café in Ikebukuro, this owl café has also hedge hogs in it, so you get to experience hedgehog café feel as well as owl café. This Ikebukuro location also does not have any food to offer and you can get drinks from a vending machine, it is more of a "meet owls" kind of place and not a café.
In this owl café you should reserve the seats beforehand, because it is 1 hour of time there. That time will have some of the time to play, feed, pet or take picture of the owls in the "owl room" and after that you can sit and drink or eat something.
Age limit: No limit but preschool children are not allowed to go to the owl room and Elementary school and junior high school kids only with a guardian.
Cost: 2000yen if you reserve through internet 2500if you reserve a seat at the location.
Cost: 1500yen if you reserve through internet 2500if you reserve a seat at the location.
Tori no Iru cafes differ from each other surprisingly lot even tho they are the same chain, for example in Asakusa you cannot take your own food in to and in Roppongi location you can bring your own food also. Also in the Roppongi location there are hedgehogs as well. And yes, in both of the cafes they have all kind of birds not just owls.
Spend a relaxing time in a café where you can encounter up to 30 owls. Children are of course welcome. You can meet rare species and some of the world's largest owls.

What is your proposed mechanism for an expanding earth, and what is the rate of expansion?
Regarding the mechanism, read post#24 #40 and #41.
Regarding to the rate, according to Maxlow's thesis (table 2.1 p24):
Period	Age	Palaeoradius
Present	0 Ma	6370 km
Pliocene	6 Ma	6240 km
Miocene	23 Ma	5910 km
Oligocene	37 Ma	5650 km
Eocene	59 Ma	5270 km
Paleocene	66 Ma	5160 km
Mid Cretaceous	118 Ma 4435 km
Late Jurassic	160 Ma	3960 km
Triassic	245 Ma	3240 km
Early Carboniferous	320 Ma	2800 km
Early Devonian	380 Ma 2540 km
Mid Ordovician	455 Ma	2290 km
Cambrian	565 Ma 2060 km
Early Neoproterozoic 700 Ma	1895 km
The average rate calculated from the surface expansion for the last 3 millions years is about 22 mm/year. Keep in mind that it is an average over 3E6 years (!).

Cite specifically what evidence would need to be presented to you that would cause you to abandon the expanding earth conjecture.
The expanding Earth theory (an empirical theory is not the same as a conjecture!) makes predictions. So we can use some of these predictions to refute or support the theory.
It is reasonable to predict that the theory is not restricted to Earth in the solar system. So at least a few other planets/moons must show signs of past or present growth.
The theory predicts that before the current important oceanization stage, the expansion of surface was accommodated in part by the formation of new continental crust. So the amount of continental crust must have increased with time.
Due to the absence of symmetric ridge in the pacific, the theory predicts that the Pacific initially grew by accretion of new crust at its perimeter, by a process called eduction.
Probably one of the most interesting prediction. The theory predicts that paleomaps of a period can be made by progressively removing seafloor, continental crust, extension and mobile belts younger than that period. These paleomaps must be consistent with all available data (geochemistry, paleomagnetism, paleoclimate, fossils etc...).
Now your turn. What falsification test would need to be presented to you that would cause you to abandon plate tectonics?
Refutation of wilson cycle? Refutation of a wide Tethys ocean? What?

my field is the behavioural ecology of marine invertebrates (and to a certain extent vertibrates) so my knowledge of plate tectonics is limited to a few undergrad classes in geology and oceanography .
But then I don't have an agenda as the outcome doesn't really affect my work either way.
I suspect however that you do have an agenda, and that overrides your ability to engage in any meaningful discussion - you've decided what the answer is first and now you are trying to make the data fit the facts - at least that's the impression that you are giving.
which is why you really need to answer the question in very specific terms -
tell us exactly what you will need to be presented with in order for you to abandon your hypothesis.
This will demonstrate that you are entering into the dicussion in good faith.
Otherwise your just another crank (albeit a seemingly knowledgeable one) with an agenda.

Trippy ALEA IACTA EST Staff Member
But not intentionally from my side. I have some doubt for your side.
Nothing I said implied deliberatness. I did not accuse you of doing it deliberately. I only stated that you had done it.
May be, but this thing implies limited destruction of seafloor whatever the theory. And this is the key point because it does imply an imbalance of seafloor destruction and formation.
No it doesn't. It simply implies that Trenches migrate, and that migration can be governed by several factors.
I'll attent to the rest when I have more time on my hands.
According to Williams, the braking is not constant (at 3.8 cm/y) or the moon would have been too close from Earth something like 1.5 By ago.
So the average braking that has occurred is actually calculated from the paleodistance (Moon-Earth), which is itself calculated either from the lunar nodal period or the number of sidereal months/yr or the number of sidereal days/yr. But it does not seem to provide any measurement of the length of the day that is independent from the value of orbital period that is assumed to be constant.
If I'm wrong then you can certainly provide the detailed calculation of the length of the day that is independent of the orbital period and does not assume a constant braking rate.
Your assertions here are wrong The theory does not predict it to be constant, the theory predicts it to vary, and predicts it to vary in predictable ways.
Until you provide that, your "fine-tuning" argument is moot.
It's a strawman hypothesis - the evolution of the lunar paleo distance, and the length of the day is not predicted to be a linear one, I didn't claim that it was linear, only that it was predictable. That it must be linear is your assertion alone.
And I remind you that it is not a refutation anyway. The principle parsimony, though valuable, can't provide true refutations.
This is hypocritical, as you have on a number of occasions argued that the expanding earth hypothesis provides a simpler explanation, and therefore should be accepted.
The accumulation of matter inside earth does not imply a creation of matter, even less in a reference frame that co-rotates the earth. You're speculating.
No I'm not, I'm discussing expanding earth literature.
But tells us - what mechanism do you propose for the accumulation of matter inside the earth?
I believe I've mentioned Scalera's graviton decay hypothesis.
Carey never proposed a hypothesis, but alluded that he thought it was linked with the expansion of the universe.
Comic book artist, Neal Adams has suggesred rgar ut's related to electron positron pair production.
Mantovani proposed expansion with constant mass via thermal expansion. Joly and Holmes took this further and claimed that raidocative decay would generate sufficient heat to result in the thermal expansion of the earth.
I've also seen proposals suggesting the presence of degenerate matter within the core, and something related to cold fusion (more like warm fusion) proposed.
You've already stated that you opine that the mass must have increased in conjunction with the volume, otherwise gravity would have been too strong. So please, enlighten us by what method do you propose to add mass to the Earth?
So you believe that a model based on the premise that Earth has a constant radius is ok to prove that Earth has a constant radius? And how it is irrelevant to the discussion? Aren't we discussion an increase in Earth's radius?
This isn't what I said, and I'm not entirely sure how to tackle this statement.
It proves that there is limited destruction of lithosphere in this case. Anyway, your accusation of circular logic was wrong.
No, it doesn't. And no, it wasn't.
Sea level data do not favour a particular model.
Yes they do - the configuration of the continents (the presence or absence of super continents, for example, makes predictions about the depth of the oceans.
A model based on data is not an assumption. It is an empirical model.
I repeat. Carey's explanation for the observation of Suprecontinents, and multiple configurations of supercontinents is predicated on the assumption of an expanding earth.
It is a very modern model that unify all available data: See
"Mantle plumes and dynamics of the Earth interior — towards a new model" by Stefan Stefan Cwojdziñski, (2004) Geological Review, 52, no. 8/2, p817
Perhaps you'd care to reconcile stationary hotspots with your theory of mantle wedge driven trench rollback.
This is an opinion, not an argument.
It's a statement of fact.
Here's what you've had to say on the matter:
At this point, all we know is that the new stuff appears inside and that there is ongoing segregation of element, and notably advection to the surface. The rest, including stating that it violates the laws of physics, is just pure speculation.
Yes it does growth (not expand). The current growth rate is about 2 cm radius/year (averaged over 3 millions years). And the rate has been increasing for the last 150 millions years according to the PhD thesis of James Maxlow, available on line at Curtin University.
And nobody as really a clue about the origin of all this matter required.
Interesting stuff.
I agree, there is no known physics that can explain the growth at this time and what James has been doing is just baseless naive speculations. But there must a mechanism to explain hat growth in mass, because it is what is observed. So by inference, a physical explanation must exists.
Well, we must assume that laws of conservations are valid. So there must be something accumulating inside Earth that fuels the growth. Call it dark matter or dark energy or whatever. What is certain is that this thing is very weakly interacting with normal matter, and must have mass/energy and thus responds to the gravity field.
That's a bit short to build a physical mechanism, isn't it?
That's why I think it is more important to focus on the evidence of the growth as a first step.
So, your expanding Earth hypothesis requires matter to appear inside the earth, which, incidentaly, contradicts this statement:
By some mechanism that requires unknown physics - beyond the standard model, even going as far as suggesting this:
Which, in essence, is asking us to ignore evidence against your argument?
And you still insist that your explanation is the most parsimonious?
Meanwhile, you still can not demonstrate the presence of growth using lunar LASER ranging experiments, GPS measurements or satelite ephemeridae - even though we can measure the radius of the Earth to an accuracy of at least +/- 10cm.

James R Just this guy, you know? Staff Member
Post #24 says the physics is "unknown", and new stuff just mysteriously "appears".
Post #40 says "there is no known physics that can explain the growth at this time"
And #41 says "So there must be something accumulating inside Earth that fuels the growth. Call it dark matter or dark energy or whatever. What is certain is that this thing is very weakly interacting with normal matter, and must have mass/energy and thus responds to the gravity field."
Sounds like this "theory" is dead in the water before it starts.
Never mind the ludicrous 20 mm/year figure for the supposed expansion.
I guess I'll put you down as a crank at this point.
James R, Jun 24, 2011
my field is the behavioural ecology of marine invertebrates (and to a certain extent vertibrates) so my knowledge of plate tectonics is limited to a few undergrad classes in geology and oceanography.
That's similar to me (undergrad classes in geology), but I must admit that I got a serious update for the last 4 years. Still, you should be able to give a falsification test of plate tectonics. BTW, anyone with a test in mind is welcome to propose it.
Me neither. So your supposition that I have an agenda is false.
Contrary to most people in this thread, I really have no prejudice. My conclusions are entirely based on observations.
I suggested 4 different predictions that can be used as a falsification test, and none of them has your preference? Ok, since it happens that I've been discussing this point elsewhere I propose a 5th one to ease my life:
If it can be shown that there was oceanic lithosphere that was significantly wider than 1500 km between Asia and India, then the expanding Earth theory must be wrong.
But in counterpart you must also accept that:
If it can be shown that there was no oceanic lithosphere that was significantly wider than 1500 km between Asia and India, then plate tectonics must be wrong.
Is that good enough for you?
Trippy said: ↑
Trenches migration away from the back-arc implies limited lithosphere destruction as demonstrated by the figure I made. Your opinion is of no scientific value.
If it is predictable then simply provide the method used to predict the evolution of the braking rate. All I've seen so far, is the calculation of average braking rate derived from the Moon-Earth paleodistance (See Williams), derived either from the lunar nodal period or the number of sidereal months/yr or the number of sidereal days/yr (all three giving consistent results).
florian said:

No it is not hypocritical. For someone whose nickname is Ockham's machete, you seem surprisingly unfamiliar with the limitation of Ockam's razor.
The principle of parsimony states that between two hypotheses able to explain an observation, the simplest one should be preferred. So it is a valuable principle that help a scientist to choose which hypothesis to favour for further studies. But it is not sufficient to definitively refute the more complex hypothesis.
If you're discussing expanding earth literature that speculates on a mechanism, that remains speculation. I have absolutely zero compassion for those expansionists that are seduced by worthless speculation.
When will you understand that we can't formulate a mechanism to add mass to the Earth as long as we have no data to formulate one? Without data we can't build a mechanism, without data, every proposition is speculative. Is that clear enough?
You're probably referring to Muller's work. Sea level data do not favour a model because they can be equally well explained for each model.
False. Carey's refutation of a wide Iapetus ocean is based on palaeomagnetic data (from Morris), and these data prove that the separation was along the Appalachian-caledonian axis, not across it. Then the fact that the separation was along the axis implies that the Earth is growing. We start from the data to build the theory, not the opposite. This is good science. In plate tectonics, the data are explained with the hindsight from the theory. This is bad science (and I'm nice).
Both are the expression of the migration of mantle material from inside to the surface (as expected for an inner growth). No need for a reconciliation.
Appearance is not the same as creation ex nihilo. I reject the latter or conservation laws would be violated.
This not an evidence, this is a strawman, because so far we have no data to build a mechanism to add mass to the Earth. We can only observe that it must happen because of different line of evidence.
So you're attacking an unknown mechanism. It is irrational.
The first question you must ask yourself before doing this is: are these methodologies completely independent from the plate tectonic model?
1) is that incorrect to state that the physics that can explain this phenomenon is not known yet?
2) I never wrote "mysteriously". Please do not twist my words. It's showing that you have an agenda.
Stuff must appear as implied from different lines of evidence.
Same as above.
These are just logical inferences:
a) The mass of earth increases and conservation laws must not be violated => there is stuff accumulating inside Earth coming from outside Earth
b) We don't detect that stuff getting inside Earth => it must be weakly interacting with common baryonic/fermionic matter, hence of the dark matter type.
We can't go much farer than that without widely speculating. Actually, I even think that these inferences are already a bit speculative.
If by theory, you mean the physics, it's not even close to start.
Dommage, this is an actual measurement and thus not "supposed".
So your agenda is to prove that I'm a crank. Great to know, but I have nothing anymore to prove regarding the scientific method.
I'm yet to be convinced - I suspect that you already know (or at the very least think you know) the width of the OL between the continents, and have shaped your conclusions based upon that - which is the classic reverse conclusion behaviour of a pseudoscientific crank - conclusion first - data second.
so we'll have to abandon that altogether and move on to something else more productive. How about trying for something more contemporary and direct?
for example rather than swallowing without question the wild speculation of Maxlow's thesis that you just posted- is there not a way that we can make accurate contemporary measurements of expansion using modern equipment?
can you perhaps suggest a test we might do?
Quite ironic knowing that "conclusion first" is exactly what you're doing. You conclude that this theory is false despite admitting yourself that you have very limited knowledge in the field, and most likely zero knowledge in particular for that theory. What does it tell us about you? That you actually worth no more than one of those "pseudoscientific cranks"?
Anyway, it is irrelevant to the falsification test I proposed. You must know that there are two important requirements for a falsification test.
1) it must give a yes or no answer in order to clearly refute or support the theory
2) it must be possible to provide an answer to the proposition using available data or data that can be readily available.
My proposition satisfies both requirements. If you're clueless about the related data, that's not my problem at all. I'll provide them, and you will be always be able to conclude supposing that you understand them.
If you can propose something that satisfies both requirement, that's fine.
for example rather than swallowing without question the wild speculation of Maxlow's thesis that you just posted-
You do really believe that I'm such a blind idiot that I'm ready to "swallow without question" whatever speculation, do you?
is there not a way that we can make accurate contemporary measurements of expansion using modern equipment?
If you find a test based on contemporary measurements that satisfies the requirements then go ahead. I found none.
Stryder Keeper of "good" ideas. Valued Senior Member
This thread topic finds it's way in here from time to time, a simple point to conclude if the earth is expanding is to take into consideration it's makeup.
"Solid" rock formations do not alter much in volume, there might be changes based upon temperature but they wouldn't equate to much more than a few mm's tolerance.
While rock is molten (Magma), it can however be subjected to various impurities that cause gas pockets to form with it. These gases usually attempt to rise through the molten rock to the surface to vent (This is just caused by the surrounding volume or rock containing great mass and conforming to gravity by attempting to occupy the space of the bubble volume.) when the bubbles reach the surface, they are sometimes encapsulated within the rock because the molten magma's density is lessened causing it to cool quicker.
The notable type of rock usually found at surface level from this is Pumice stone which is considerably porous because of the bubbles.
In essence such bubbling can cause an increase in volume, however it can cause problems to. Due to the rock formation not having a high density it can be more prone to crumbling under pressure, so *if* you have a large area consistent with the rock formation, it will be more prone to shifts in regards to Tectonics. Of course this is a large *if* without someone in geophysics actually identifying if various fault-lines are pumice enriched or not.
Stryder, Jun 25, 2011
so you have a process that cannot be measured, driven by a mechanism that can't be explained, and doesn't make any predictions that cannot be explained better by standard tectonic models.
This is the point where you abandon it
so you have a process that cannot be measured,
Wrong. It is measured for geological time. Actually a much more appropriate timescale.
driven by a mechanism that can't be explained
Can't be explained yet. Not an issue for an empirical theory.
and doesn't make any predictions that cannot be explained better by standard tectonic models.
Wrong. For example, it predicts that India migrated northward while remaining constantly close to Asia.
Maxlow's measurements are of the same level pure speculation as the rest of his "thesis"
it is if the mechanism defies physics and thermodynamics
Seriously - you going to need to give a straightforward method of measuring contemporary expansion or walk away from this
What speculation? His model is validated by the data. Data always prime over existing theories.
Strawman. This is in your head.
Tell me what contemporary method of measuring can give a yes or no answer and is independent from the current model.
How about this:
And then, perhaps, you can provide us with a paper that demonstrates the signal of a Carey's 24mm +/- 8mm per annum increase in the girth of this fine planet buried within the various datasets available from things such as GPS measurements, and lunar ranging experiments, and satellite ephamerides.
How about an anomaly in Tidal Rhythmite data?
No, it does not, contempory literature also expects trench roll back to occur under a variety of scenarios.
Strictly speaking, you're the one making the extraordinary claim, so it's up to you to provide the proof, however there are peer reviewed papers dating back to 1978 detailing a number of different ways of measuring the lunar paleo distance, including measuring the shape of Lunar maria. One of the things we have learned about, as a result of these studies is that during the Paleozoic the rate at which the moon receeded from the earth slowed. Physics, and tidal theory, combined with mainstream plate tectonics provide a natural explanation for this.
All of which is beside the point, and here's why - even only considering averages, and expanding earth would still lead to a detecable anomaly.
No it is not hypocritical.
It is complete hypocrisy for you to suggest that ontological parsimony is sufficient to dismiss the mainstream theory, while at the same time arguing it is insufficient to dismiss your toy model.
For someone whose nickname is Ockham's machete, you seem surprisingly unfamiliar with the limitation of Ockam's razor.
That's not my nickname.
I am familiar with the principle of ontological parismony. What you have failed to recognize is the implications of your own argument about your misuse of it. You have explicitly claimed that expanding earth tectonics is simpler than the mainstream theory, and so we should reject the mainstream theory, however, now that it has been pointed out to you that expanding earth tectonics is in fact more complicated because it introduces a number of unknown mechanisms, then suddenly complexity is not sufficient grounds for discarding expanding earth tectonics.
This, in and of itself should immeadiately ring alarm bells to a casual third person when viewing this thread, because it is precisely this sort of behaviour and attitude that indicates faith, rather than science at work.
So instead you present a toy model with no viable mechanism?
Wrong. This is one of the core premises of science. If you were actually interested in science, then you would have been able to offer a mechanism.
Incidentaly, I want to revisit this statement:
When will you understand that we can't formulate a mechanism to add mass to the Earth as long as we have no data to formulate one?
Take a moment to think about this.
We have 50 years worth of data collected from satelite orbits.
In this time, Carey would have us believe that the earth has expanded between 800mm and 1600mm.
Let's think about this, for a moment. The Earth has a radius of 6,378.1370 km.
If we assume that the Earth has grown from something else, to that - an assumption that works in your favour, then 50 years ago, the radius of the earth was between 6378.1362km and 6378.1354km.
Now, let's just use the largest number, the lowest amount predicted by Carey.
According to Carey, the circumference of the Earth increased from 40075.012km to 40075.017km (8SF for both).
For simplicities sake, for a moment, let's treat the earth as a sphere.
If Carey is correct, then the Earth has increased its volume by 408,966.26 km[sup]3[/sup]
This equates, if the bulk density of the earth has remained constant - something you have suggested or implied, that the earth has gained an additional 2.25545E+18 kg.
This, in turn, suggests that, if the earth's angular momentum has remained constant, that the Earths day has lengthened by 1.3s over the last 50 years - a deviation that we have had the capacity to measure since 1955.
But it gets worse than that for expanding earth tectonics - The Chaldeans recorded the Saros over 3,000 years ago, which gives us another tool for understanding whether or not the Earth has expanded, because it would manifest as anomalies in our record of solar and lunar eclipses.
No, not really.
You're right, expanding earth tectonics is bad science.
Oh, so you posit that the matter appears inside the earth from an external source? How precisely does that work?
No it isn't. You can provide no evidence of any mass gain in the last 3,000 years (we could probably argue in excess of 10,000 if we consider things such as stone henge), and you can provide no evidence for a plausable mechanism, and you are asking us to simply ignore the lack of evidence.
I suggest you learn the definition of a strawman - the contention that it defies known physics is yours:
I agree, there is no known physics that can explain the growth at this time
I think Trippy's test in the previus post would satisfy me - giving particular reference to how ancient sites with specific solar alignments to measure the length of a year are now out of synch.
Just as an additional point.
According to Florian:
"The theory predicts that before the current important oceanization stage, the expansion of surface was accommodated in part by the formation of new continental crust. So the amount of continental crust must have increased with time."
Now, according to Carey, addition of continental crust was via Orogenesis caused by Diapirism. According to the USGS, the median thickness of Orogenic crust is 42.62km.
According to you, and Carey, all Oceanic crust is new, and also responsible for the expanion of the Earth. The average thickness of Oceanic crust is 6km.
Now, using data from the USGS I could do a weighted average, using their model Crust 5.1, however I'm not going to download it at work, and I don't have a GIS tool at home, so I'm going to do something that works in your favour, the significance of which will become apparent shortly. I'm going to over estimate the average thickness of this new crust. I'm going to take the straight average thickness, and use that - 24.31km.
Now, according to Maxlow's Thesis, 700MYA the earth was 1,895 km in radius, and had a surface area of , and today it is 6,370 km in radius. Now, again, for simplicities sake, treating the Earth as a sphere, this means that 700MYA the earth had a surface area of 45,126,151km[sup]2[/sup], and today it has a surface area of 464,778,212km[sup]2[/sup]. This means, that at an average thickness of 24.31km, 11,298,758,334km[sup]3[/sup] (11.3 Billion cubic kilometers) of mantle material has been emplaced at the surface. Now. This is important to note, because - assuming the bulk chemistry and density of the Earth's mantle have not changed, then the average density (using the highest value I can find - which, again, works in your favour) is 4850kg/m[sup]3[/sup] and the average volatile content is 0.9% (by weight). Now, if we make one more asusmption that works in your favour - that the only volatile that exists in the Earths mantle is water then this all equates to 493,190,801,279 kg of water that was in the mantle, now at the earths surface. Now, let's make one more assumption that works in your favour, let's assume that the relative density of this water was 1 - and maximize the volume of the water liberated from the mantle during the growth of the earth over the last 700 MA.
Then this equates to an additional 0.493 km[sup]3[/sup] of water.
Earth's Hydrosphere is estimated to weigh in at at 1.4x10[sup]21[/sup]kg - including atmospheric water vapour.
This, if we make the same assumption, and assume a mininum value for the density of water, to maximize its volume we get 1.4x10[sup]9[/sup]km[sup]3[/sup], which given the present surface area of 464,778,212km[sup]2[/sup] is sufficient to cover the surface of the earth to a uniform depth of 3km.
However, according to Carey's hypothesis, and Maxwell's thesis, even if we account for the volume of water liberated from the mantle, then 700MYA, the water that was present was sufficient to cover the earth's surface to a uniform depth of 31km.
Does anybody else see the problem with this?
I calculated that the volume of water is sufficient to cover the planet to a depth of 3.01km.
The average depth of the ocean is 3790m, and over half of the ocean is more than 3000m deep.
Does that illustrate the problem a little better?
In order for Carey's hypothesis to be correct, 700MYA, the oceans would have had to have had an average depth of at least 31km in order to accomodate the obersvation that dry land existed at that time.
The only alternative to that available, to accomodate Carey's hypothesis is that, for example, if we assume that the thickness of the uniform layer of water over the surface of the earth was 5km, then we have a volume of 225,630,755, which requires 1.175x10[sup]9[/sup]km[sup]3[/sup] of water to have been erupted from the mantle, which would require the mantle to have been, on average 10 orders of magnitude wetter than it is now (that is to say, it would need to have been, on average 9 billion percent, by weight water). Which is clearly absurd.
So, supporting Carey's hypothesis, it would seem, requires choosing between two alternatives, both of which are absurd, one of which is impossible, the other of which has precisely zero evidence supporting it.
Does that make the problem perhaps clearer to understand?

Off the point here... I would just like to point out that those of you who consistently and automatically disagree with alternative theories, would- on the other hand- be just as adamant in defense of such a theory if it happened to be mainstream. This foolish dependency on consensus and blind trust in credentials is very unimpressive.
Ok thanks for your time. Carry on please...

Ensuring the integrity of data stored in memory is an important aspect of memory design. Two primary means of accomplishing this are parity and error correction code (ECC).
Historically, parity has been the most commonly used data integrity method. Parity can detect - but not correct - single-bit errors. Error Correction Code (ECC) is a more comprehensive method of data integrity checking that can detect and correct single-bit errors.
Fewer and fewer PC manufacturers are supporting data integrity checking in their designs. This is due to a couple of factors. First, by eliminating support for parity memory, which is more expensive than standard memory, manufacturers can lower the price of their computers. Fortunately, this trend is complemented by the second factor: that is, the increased quality of memory components available from certain manufacturers and, as a result, the relative infrequency of memory errors.
Women's Trek Insulated Black Shoe Ascent Vibram Women's Purple Most computers designed for use as high-end servers support ECC memory.
Most low-cost computers designed for use at home or for small businesses support non-parity memory.
When parity is in use on a computer system, one parity bit is stored in DRAM along with every 8 bits (1 byte) of data. The two types of parity protocol - odd parity and even parity - function in similar ways.
With normal parity, when 8 bits of data are written to DRAM, a corresponding parity bit is written at the same time. The value of the parity bit (either a 1 or 0) is determined at the time the byte is written to DRAM, based on an odd or even quantity of 1s. Some manufacturers use a less expensive "fake parity" chip. This chip simply generates a 1 or a 0 at the time the data is being sent to the CPU in order to accommodate the memory controller. (For example, if the computer uses odd parity, the fake parity chip will generate a 1 when a byte of data containing an even number of 1s is sent to the CPU. If the byte contains an odd number of 1s, the fake parity chip will generate a 0.) The issue here is that the fake parity chip sends an "OK" signal no matter what. This way, it "fools" a computer that's expecting the parity bit into thinking that parity checking is actually taking place when it is not. The bottom line: fake parity cannot detect an invalid data bit.
This table shows how odd parity and even parity work. The processes are identical but with opposite attributes.
The parity bit will be forced to 1 (or turned "on") if its corresponding byte of data contains an even number of 1's.
If the byte contains an odd number of 1's, the parity bit is forced to 0 (or turned "off "). The parity bit is forced to 0 if the byte contains an even number of 1's.
The parity bit is forced to 1 if its corresponding byte of data contains an odd number of 1's.
Just before the data is sent to the CPU, it is intercepted by the parity circuit.
If the parity circuit sees an odd number of 1's, the data is considered valid. The parity bit is stripped from the data and the 8 data bits are passed on to the CPU.
Data is considered valid if the parity circuit detects an even number of 1's.
Data is invalid if the parity circuit detects an odd number of 1's.
Parity does have its limitations. For example, parity can detect errors but cannot make corrections. This is because the parity technology can't determine which of the 8 data bits are invalid.
Furthermore, if multiple bits are invalid, the parity circuit will not detect the problem if the data matches the odd or even parity condition that the parity circuit is checking for. For example, if a valid 0 becomes an invalid 1 and a valid 1 becomes an invalid 0, the two defective bits cancel each other out and the parity circuit misses the resulting errors. Fortunately, the chances of this happening are extremely remote.
Error Correction Code is the data integrity checking method used primarily in high-end PCs and file servers. The important difference between ECC and parity is that ECC is capable of detecting and correcting 1-bit errors. With ECC, 1-bit error correction usually takes place without the user even knowing an error has occurred. Depending on the type of memory controller the computer uses, ECC can also detect rare 2-, 3-, or 4-bit memory errors. While ECC can detect these multiple-bit errors, it cannot correct them. However, there are some more complex forms of ECC that can correct multiple bit errors.
Using a special mathematical sequence, algorithm, and working in conjunction with the memory controller, the ECC circuit appends ECC bits to the data bits, which are stored together in memory. When the CPU requests data from memory, the memory controller decodes the ECC bits and determines if one or more of the data bits are corrupted. If there's a single-bit error, the ECC circuit corrects the bit. In the rare case of a multiple-bit error, the ECC circuit reports a parity error.

Mosquito Life Cycle: How Long Does a Mosquito Live?
Isn't it amazing (and scary) how many problems such a small insect like the mosquito can cause, and with such a short life span!? How long does a mosquito live, really?
According to Wikipedia, a mosquito can live anywhere from one to two weeks depending on the gender of the mosquito in question. Males typically live for only a week. Some females have been known to live for around a month when in captivity, however when in their natural environments they can survive for up to two weeks.
A mosquito life cycle is fairly simple. Eggs are laid in water by a mature mosquito and eventually move into the larva stage where it molts several times. To learn more about molting you can read this article on the insect molting process, it is essentially the process in which the mosquito sheds its exoskeleton multiple times. Most species come to the surface of the water to breath air. Next the larva then enters into the pupa stage just prior to becoming an adult. During the pupa stage the mosquito does not feed. The last and final stage is when the mosquito turns into a fully developed adult. The mosquito emerges and as soon as its parts have hardened the mosquito takes to the sky for its short (and potentially deadly) life.
The entire lifecycle of a mosquito from egg to death can take as little as 4 days for some species while others are looking at closer to a month. The typical life cycle is sitting in the neighborhood of 10-14 days.
Mosquito bites can be prevented by using our All-Natural Mosquito Repellent Soap.
Use this in combination with tea tree oil, or by making homemade mosquito traps!


Finally! A better week. I wouldn't go so far as to call it good, but it's a step up from the previous weeks. Perhaps because I finally gave myself a concrete goal: next year's Eugene marathon. I've been thinking about it really hard for a while now, but mostly in the context of, "we'll see how the next few weeks go, and then I'll decide if I'm going to run it." This week, I finally just decided to go for it and drew up a training plan. In addition to giving me a specific goal, it also gave me a specific way to get there, which is something I think I've been needing.
Monday: 2.4 miles after class at Point Defiance Park.Love running here because it's so gorgeous.
Wednesday: 2.4 miles in the morning. I'm always amazed with how good these morning runs feel. I wish I could bottle it and then sniff a wee bit of it when the alarm goes off and I don't want to get up early and run.
Friday: 0. We had contractors in our house all day painting, which meant I couldn't get to my running clothes to actually get out during the day. Sure, I could have gone once they were done, but it was completely dark and pouring rain by then, so… no.
Saturday: 0. Spent the morning watching my Girls on the Run team do their 5k instead of running my own. Totally worth it.
It was a non-running week for me (since my body needed a post-marathon break), but that doesn't mean I didn't break a sweat!
I am almost feeling 100% recovered from the marathon (just some hamstring soreness remaining), but I'm going to take another week easy before I start some recovery running to get healthy for my next training cycle that begins in January!
My focus is on maintaining my fitness level, losing a few "marathon pounds" and toning up for my Christmas break plans (stay tuned for the announcement)!
Sun setting on Daytona Beach, FL.
This week, I was very fortunate to get half my runs in on the Atlantic shores in Daytona Beach, Florida. Paige and I spent the second half of the week at the USATF annual conference. I ran just under 60 miles and ran my first double in over a year. It's hard to turn down a run on the beach!
This week was kind of weird. I enjoyed my runs so much more since I had great company and didn't feel like a slave to my Garmin since the new one hasn't arrived yet. I may do watchless runs more often. I also realized that it's a new month and I am oh-so-close to my mileage goal for the year (2,012 miles) and all I need to do is stay consistent with running and be more consistent with getting my IT band and knee back to 100 percent.
Monday: rest. 30 minutes of yoga to stretch out and relax a little.
Tuesday: 8 miles. I ran after work on the trails with my friend, Kirsten. It's been a while since my last nighttime trail run and I had a good time catching up with her and getting a good workout in.
Wednesday: 5 miles. My friend Amy returned to Second Sole after taking some time off and it was great to catch up with her and have someone to run with on Wednesday night again!
Thursday: 6 miles. Other than my bad Sunday run watchless, this was my second run alone without it. Everything kind of just clicked when I stepped out the door and I ran farther than my planned 4 miles and had a good run.
Friday: rest. Picked sleeping over running before work.
Saturday: 17.5 miles on the trails. Met up with Wild Bill and Tara to run trails I had only been to once. The trails are the only place I have knee problems. It wasn't as bad as during my last race, but still enough that Bill suggested I take some time off. Which are words I never thought I'd hear come out of his mouth.
Sunday: rest. Set my alarm to run before work, heard the rain and took Bill's suggestion.
My next training cycle officially starts this upcoming week, so I forced a "down" week from running to clear my head of mileage and to give my legs a little break from pounding. It's nice to choose to dial down the mileage rather than being forced to do so because of injury.
Sunday: Returned home from Kansas City to be greeted with sunshine and blue skies. Hopped on the bike for about 26 miles to enjoy one of the last few days to be out on the bike. Got in a few weights, too!
Monday: 3,250 yards in the pool and some weights/core.
Tuesday: Workout of 4*2K as a progression followed by 5*150 meters at the end of progression. Started off just fine, but midway through #3, everything just hurt, and I had some major stomach issues. I decided to call it when I dropped back to 8:00 pace, and it felt like 6:00. Tried the 150s, but my body wasn't happy. Had a bad headache and some congestion throughout the day. Oh well, it happens! I think I was fighting a little bug. I was able to get in some leg work before I felt awful.
Wednesday: Felt much better after a good night's sleep and DayQuil. Hit the pool for 2,250. Coached in the evening and got in seven miles while running with everyone.
Thursday: Circuit training for about an hour, then 3,500 chlorine-filled, relaxing yards in the pool.
Friday: Crisp bike ride of about 27 miles. Weights/core in the afternoon.
Saturday: Seven mile progression run including 17 minutes into a 20 mph headwind! (At least that was at the beginning to force a slower pace). One mile cool down.

The friendly relations be...
The friendly relations between Turkmenistan and the State of Qatar
On December 3, 2022, the honorable President of our country whose prestige is rising at the international level Serdar Berdimuhamedov made a working visit to the State of Qatar at the invitation of the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
Our esteemed President who was welcomed with great respect and affection held a high-level meeting there related to the comprehensive development of turkmen-qatar relations. Also he was the honorable guest at one of the matches of the FIFA World Cup which is continue in Doha these days.
The interest in the sports holiday of Turkmenistan's state Leader is another proof that great attention is being paid to the development and promotion of sports in our country, and to strengthening effective international cooperation in this field. This Football World Cup brought together footballers from different regions of the World and fans of this very attractive sport in the State of Qatar. Major international competitions have been held in the State of Qatar before. An example of this is, we can show the Asian games. But this is the first time the FIFA World Cup is being held in Qatar.
Of course, Qatar is considered one of the countries in the Middle East that pay a lot of attention to sports. Located in the center of Doha, at the foot of the country's tallest building "Aspire Tower" the international stadium "Khalifa" is part of the sports complex "Doha Sports City" and since its opening in 1976 it has been the main football stadium of Qatar.
As our esteemed President emphasized, that the physical education and sports ensure the harmonious development of society, and play an important role in shaping human character. It cultivates self-confidence, strength and courage in a person.
When it comes down to it, our esteemed President is the President of the National Olympic Committee of Turkmenistan, the holder of the honorary title of "Winning Coach of Turkmenistan". The issues of relations in the field of sports are regularly included in the agenda of foreign visits, high-level talks and meetings.
Our esteemed President held meeting with the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani at the "Khalifa" stadium where the World Football Championship is being held.
Our esteemed President noted the excellent organization of the international sports forum held for the first time in a friendly country, and expressed confidence that this being the biggest event of the year, would make a worthy contribution to promoting the values and importance of sports in the lives of people all over the world.
Then, the Prime minister of the State of Qatar, minister of interior affairs Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdul Aziz Al Thani cordially greeted the President of Turkmenistan in the special place of the "Khalifa" stadium intended for honored guests.
Also here our esteemed President met with the President of the Football associations of international federation - FIFA, Gianni Infantino.
The head of FIFA noted that this visit of the President of Turkmenistan is significant in the development of relations at the international level in the field of sports, especially football. Noting that sports and the Olympic movement are widely developed in Turkmenistan, the special importance was emphasized to FIFA's support in coordinating efforts at the international level to spread the football form of the sports.
The current visit of our esteemed President Serdar Berdimuhamedov to the State of Qatar and the talks held between the two countries testify that it will provide a wide opportunity to develop and enrich the relations with new meaning.
May the life of our esteemed President who has devoted special respect to sports in our holy Motherland along with other fields, done great work in developing it, doing great things in attracting the young generation to sports will be long. Let his noble works for the benefit of the country and people will prosper.

Relief in works for Oak Harbor businesses
by Brandon Taylor
Friday, May 22, 2020 4:39pm
The city of Oak Harbor is partnering with Island County and the Greater Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce to assist businesses impacted by COVID-19.
"This is a very quickly evolving process," City Administrator Blaine Oborn said during Wednesday's teleconferenced council workshop. "Rules are coming out and programs are being updated."
The city of Oak Harbor has not yet received federal CARES Act funding but is anticipating it will be awarded $689,100.
Based on preliminary analysis that the city has conducted, the COVID-19 related expenses the city has experienced are expected to utilize 50 percent of the CARES Act funding, and the city will allocate the other half to small businesses that have been impacted during the health crisis.
The city is planning to combine part of the CARES Act funding with money from Island County as a North Whidbey economic relief program, with an initial contribution from the county estimated at $333,000.
Island County Com-missioner Jill Johnson first proposed using the CARES Act funding for the joint fund and city officials agreed to organize the effort. Total for the economic relief is estimated at $677,550.
The city expects to allocate $50,000 of the relief funding to the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce for administration and marketing costs and $17,550 in administrative costs for the city.
The city expects to have about $600,000 total left over for small business grants.
The chamber estimates that there are about 3,500 business in North Whidbey.
"We think we can (provide help for) about 10 percent of those business," Oborn said.
"I think when we look at the this we're going to try and catch some of the business that didn't qualify for the paycheck protection program."
Oborn estimates the maximum that a business could receive in aid to be $15,000.
The business that are eligible would be located in the 98277 zip code.
Oborn said the city would be targeting business with fewer than 50 employees. The business must have been operating for one full calendar year as of March 2019 and have experienced a loss of income or increased expenditures due to COVID-19.
The Washington State Department of Commerce stated that only expenses incurred from March 1 to Oct. 31 are eligible for reimbursement.
The executive director of the Main Street Association, the director of the Chamber Executive Committee and Oak Harbor city council members or employees are not eligible for grant money.
The city expects to be able to accept applications from businesses in early June.

abstract Vienna ESI 2010
Talk: Symmetrization map, realizations and Lie algebroids
Place and time: ESI, Vienna, October 14, 2010, 15:00–16:00, program Higher structures in mathematics and physics Sep-Oct 2010, organizers A. Alekseev, H. Bursztyn, T. Strobl
Abstract: In the last decade, several physicists (Amelino-Camelia, Lukierski, Wess, Meljanac, Aschieri…) studied systematically formalisms for QFT on noncommutative space-times of Lie algebra type, especially so called kappa deformations. Our work with Meljanac in Zagreb is based on realizations of noncommutative coordinates and momenta via formal differential operators having nice Hopf algebraic properties. In search for an extension of these methods to Lie algebroids, one faces the problem that the symmetrization map for the universal enveloping of a Lie algebroid is not compatible with the comultiplication. However, G. Sharygin has devised a procedure to correct the symmetrization map in the case when a global connection exists. I will present highlights of the realization method in Lie algebra case from earlier work with Meljanac, and ideas of our joint work in progress with Sharygin aimed at a generalization of the methods with realizations to Lie algebroids.

Juniper Systems Acquire BTI Systems To Drive The Industry Toward An Open, Automated And Efficient IP And Optical Transport Network
I'm pleased to share with you that Juniper Networks has completed the acquisition of BTI Systems, a leading provider of cloud and metro network infrastructure solutions to content, cloud and service providers globally.
We announced our intent to acquire BTI Systems in January and since then many of you have asked what this means for our customers and partners as well as the implications to Juniper's optical strategy moving forward.
While it's still early days, I'd like to mark this exciting occasion with a brief update on BTI Systems' planned integration into Juniper and share what you can expect from us moving forward.
The acquisition marks an exciting time for our companies, our customers and our partners. By combining two industry innovators, Juniper believes it can now offer a comprehensive, robust solution under a unified management architecture to address the fast growing data center interconnect and metro packet optical transport markets.
The close of this acquisition will pave the way for Juniper to help drive the industry toward a more open, automated and highly efficient IP and optical transport network.
As the portfolios of both companies become tightly integrated, we believe our customers can expect:
· A more compelling economic model for Data Center Interconnection and Metro Networks through tightly integrated, single-layer packet-optical networking.
· Broader network automation, with the ultimate business outcome of reduced operational expense, through integrated software defined networking and management systems.
· Rapid service creation enabled by the network integration and automation ensuring that the network dynamically adjusts to the needs of the business vs the business adjusting to the needs of the network.
· An open framework giving customers the ability to choose where and how they take advantage of these capabilities.
In terms of a roadmap, BTI Systems' portfolio complements Juniper's IP and Ethernet product portfolio with a richer set of optical capabilities, optical network management and automation software. Juniper plans to leverage these capabilities, as well as the complementary talent and expertise that the BTI Systems' team brings, to further integrate optical capabilities in our switching and routing portfolio. Additionally, we plan to build evolved open optical line system[s?] to continue to drive cost-efficient networks as well as evolve operation and control with open, standard and programmatic interfaces across all the layers of network. More to come on this at a later time.
We believe the growth of content sharing, video streaming, social networks and other bandwidth intensive applications in the cloud and content networks will continue to accelerate. Customers need a better way to manage the increasing bandwidth demands for high-speed interconnectivity between data centers, access networks and peering points. Separate and closed legacy systems are costly to scale, hard to manage and maintain, and offer limited performance and latency. Operations cost of maintaining multi-layer expertise is enormous and lacks end-to-end visibility and automation across packet and optical transport networks.
Through this acquisition, Juniper and BTI systems are bringing together their shared vision to tackle our customer's most challenging problems and deliver solutions that are open, automated and efficient. We look forward to sharing with you more as we continue to bring both companies together.
Jonathan Davidson, executive vice president and general manager, Juniper Development and Innovation (JDI).

Yeovil Town manager Darren Way spoke to local journalist Chris Spittles, in an interview for BBC Somerset, after his side had beaten Carlisle United 1-0 on Saturday 27th October 2018.
CS: Darren, we spoke to you about this run of games without a win and you've ended it in dramatic style this afternoon.
DW: Yes, it's been an amazing finish. I said to the players, it's going to get harder before it's going to get easier. The effort that was shown, and the application, and I thought at times we were back to our best.
CS: With the late late winner, you could see what it meant to your players, your staff and the fans.
DW: I've got to be honest, I've not really been panicking. I know people have been making a bit of noise on the outside, but they're the same individuals that normally get a little bit restless when you go on the results that we've had. We've only lost four games all season, so I don't know why they try to get too excited because I've got a young group, and I've got young players. If you looked at how young we were today, that was a fantastic win.
CS: With Tom James we know the quality that he's got. He scored the free kick at Colchester, but ultimately that didn't mean anything. He came up trumps today.
DW: Yes, we've spent a lot of time on set plays. We've been talking amongst the staff, saying that's an area we need to improve on, and we feel that will get us certainly where we want to be, if we change those stats. It was uncomfortable conversations, and fair play to Terry and myself, as I've had to put in a little bit of money in for the players' kitty, so that every time they score from a set play, the manager is going to donate some money towards them. So I think they should end up scoring more.
CS: Of course before Tom James' late goal, we should mention your goalkeeper Nathan Baxter for some outstanding saves today.
DW: He's done very well. For 19 years of age, when we've got a 22 year old, a 21 year old - I mean, it's endless. I think we qualify for the Under-23 league. That's how young we are. So I'm not to panic, and making sure I still manage them as a person, and make sure their mindset improves every day. We're still obsessive in what we want to achieve. But I feel today we've over-achieved with the squad that we've got.
CS: You selected the two wingers, Patrick and Browne. Rhys Browne in particular looked very dangerous in the first half and could have scored a couple of goals.
DW: He could have scored, and hopefully like all players, you want a run of games and you want a run of consistency. We've got Wes McDonald that is back now, and we've got a whole week to work on the training ground. We're going to have a behind closed door game against Bristol City, which will be good for James Bailey and Francois Zoko. So I'm quite excited, and as I've said what a great effort.
CS: You did lose Alex Pattison in that first half. What's his problem?
DW: He's just got a cut. I think he's 14 games into League Two. Normally coming out of Under-23s football, you come to Carlisle, and you're going to get a few cuts and bruises. I don't know how many times we've won here, but it's another one that we've chalked off. We keep changing history. It's another clean sheet with a young back four. So there's a lot of positives and I really appreciate the supporters that have stuck behind these players, because they are young players. I don't look at social media, so I don't see any of the noise but I can only imagine there will be one or two loose cannons out there. That's the way to show supporters that they really care for the football club. You could see the emotions after. There were one or two of our supporters there where you could see they needed that. They sung throughout the game, and hopefully they'll have a safe journey home.
CS: It will make that trip home of six or seven hours just that bit better, having pocketed the three points, won't it?
DW: Yes, it's a great way to get them. We talked about it before the game. Making sure we keep calm under pressure. I thought the way we moved the ball, we used the pitch - it's the first time we've used this width of the pitch, and players just kept passing and passing and passing. One or two in the first half, it was quite intense, but that's the pressure of football. When you've not had experience, like we've got in the group, sometimes the pressure of supporters, with one or two bad passes, your reaction after a mistake or a missed chance, the players kept going and that's what pleased me more, that they were very very brave to come to Carlisle and play the way that we did.

Q: Divide list of numbers into given number parts with certain range I am working on a project where I have to divide numbers into certain parts.
right now I have 2 numbers max number: 300 and min number 240.
Here a person can add any number such as 5 so all numbers will show in the range such as 300, 285,270,255,240.
My code is:
$amp_starting_price         = 300;
$amp_lowest_accepted_price  = 240;
$quantity_available = 5);

$r = range($amp_lowest_accepted_price, $amp_starting_price, $quantity_available);

Output:  Array (
[0] => 240
[1] => 245
[2] => 250
[3] => 255
[4] => 260
[5] => 265
[6] => 270
[7] => 275
[8] => 280
[9] => 285
[10] => 290
[11] => 295
[12] => 300 )

This is how I need it to show. Divide into 5 or any given number of parts into a particular range such as 300 to 240.

Output:  Array (
[0] => 240
[3] => 255
[6] => 270
[9] => 285
[12] => 300 )

A: I have edited my first answer to fully fit the desired output:
<?php
// set number of parts including the start point
$parts = 5;

// set the increment
$increment = 5;

// set max and min values of the range
$amp_starting_price         = 300;
$amp_lowest_accepted_price  = 240;

// check if division is exact and all parts will be equal in number
if (($mod = fmod(($amp_starting_price-$amp_lowest_accepted_price), ($parts-1))) == 0) {
    $quantity_available = ($amp_starting_price-$amp_lowest_accepted_price)/($parts-1);
} else {
    die("Error: Division is not exact. Exist a floating point remainder: $mod\n");
}

// get the increment range
$r_increment = range($amp_lowest_accepted_price, $amp_starting_price, $increment);

// get the parts range
$r_parts = range($amp_lowest_accepted_price, $amp_starting_price, $quantity_available);

// output the result
print_r(array_intersect($r_increment,$r_parts));

It outputs this result:
Array
(
    [0] => 240
    [3] => 255
    [6] => 270
    [9] => 285
    [12] => 300
)

Caribbean Netherlands Student Survey
Do young people in the Caribbean Netherlands ever encounter bullying? What do they do in their free time? What are their future plans after graduation? This and more is presented in the Caribbean Netherlands Student Survey, held for the first time at the end of 2020. The survey forms part of the National Youth Monitor, compiled by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS).
More girls than boys exceeding expected school level
In 2017/'18, more girls than boys in the third year of secondary education were studying at a higher level than recommended by their primary school.
1 in 3 women with technical degrees work in engineering
Fewer young, highly educated people have completed technical studies compared to ten years ago. Among these engineering graduates, the number of men is four times as high as the number of women. According to Statistics Netherlands, nearly 30 percent of female and almost half of male engineering graduates start working in technical occupations.


Eighteen-year-old Sabina "Bina" Tremper has grown up hearing her mother's stories of Catherine House, a boarding house in New York City where she lived for one glorious summer. Bina believes that Catherine House is a refuge—a room away from the wolves. In her mother's stories, girls at Catherine House shun the outside world in favor of a private, all-female society. It sounds like a fairy tale: "It was red-bricked and eyed with many windows, gated and safe from fathers and ogres and other intruders … I imagined it nestled deep on the island somewhere, waiting for us with a light on and a cracked-open door." Interestingly, for Bina, always an outcast, the wolves she wants to escape are other girls. Bina's tormenters ambush as a pack, led by her vindictive stepsisters. They kick her with bright sneakers that "glow in the dark like teeth," and as she flees through the woods that surround her suburban upstate home, she hears "howls carrying through the air." A Room Away from the Wolves resists labeling adolescent girls as bullies or victims; they exist fluidly as predators, escape artists, saviors, thieves, destroyers, and creators all at once.
Bina soon runs away from home and makes her way to Catherine House, where the other boarders eye her with suspicion and only occasionally let her into their rituals and secrets. Although girls in Catherine House disappear from the outside world, the house itself holds them in close scrutiny. The house's mysterious founder, Catherine de Barra—herself just 18 years old when she died—watches over the girls of the house from an eerie portrait, and there are rumors that she continues to visit the living. It soon becomes clear that the other girls want something from Bina that she may or may not be able to provide: escape. The strict curfew binds them to the house in a way that is much more permanent than Bina realizes. Leaving Catherine House means facing the violence and cruel surveillance of male-dominated society, but staying in the house means giving up individual passions in favor of a group identity.
The themes of escape, safety, and disappearance develop in surprising ways as the plot unfolds. Bina's mother lives a comfortable suburban life, married to a good man, but she would leave if only she had the money to survive on her own. When Bina arrives in New York, she meets Monet, with whom she shares an instantaneous and intense connection. Although Monet is desperate to leave Catherine House, she cannot manage to get any farther than the fire escapes. Like her mother and Monet, Bina navigates the tension between her desires for security and freedom; Catherine House is, above all, a safe place that blocks out the dangers of the world. But this sense of protection is entrapping. The outside world may be dangerous, but it also offers possibility. Manhattan is the physical manifestation of all Bina's aspirations. The city tantalizes her with its proximity but remains unreachable, making Bina a perpetual outsider.
Bina is a reluctant narrator. She guards her secrets, doling out information as she remembers it or as she believes it to be relevant. Certain incidents are retold several times, the details changing with each iteration as Bina comes to a fuller understanding of her own life, her mother's sacrifices, and the way their paths intertwine. As the narration moves back and forth through Bina's memory, it often takes on a dreamlike quality, complete with recurring symbols like a bricked-over door that leads Bina to painful confrontations with her past, and an ageless girl with startling freckles. Suma is concerned with color and rich atmospheric detail. Whether Bina is wandering through the disorienting maze of the West Village or trying to fit in at an evening soiree in the dusty parlor of Catherine House, Suma paints her world in hazy light and shadow, with the blurring hues of a fading Edwardian watercolor.
As Bina cautiously doles out information, Suma skirts the reader's questions, keeping the novel clipping along. She is less concerned with tying up every detail of the plot than with exploring deeper questions of identity and the cyclical nature of family history. A Room Away from the Wolves is a book for the reader who is comfortable with ambiguity, but others might find the ending unsatisfying. The final chapters introduce new ideas that feel abrupt and undeveloped and leave many questions unanswered and unaddressed. Despite that, this beautiful and well-crafted story is well worth reading for its insightful and piercing look at the ingenious ways that girls manage to escape locked houses.

Austin Clay tells TMZ ... POTUS' treatment of immigrant families was the spark that set him off, and taking it out on Trump's star seemed like the perfect way to send a message.
It's unclear if Trump got the message, but Clay and his GF say his pickax attack caught the eye of a couple celebs ... including noted Trump foe Robert De Niro.
As we reported, Clay was arrested after destroying the star around 3 AM Wednesday and calling the cops on himself. OG Trump star vandal, James Otis, offered to pay his $20k bail ... but Austin tells us he was released this morning after someone else did. He didn't say who.
As for Trump's star ... it cost $3k to replace, and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will be going after Clay for the bill.
