Q: Hydrology toolbox versus Arc Hydro toolbox? I would like to do some watershed delineation research/development (at the County level) with our LIDAR generated DEM, after it is corrected, but am wondering what, if any, differences might result from using the hydrology toolbox to generate watersheds or the ArcHydro suite of tools? I will probably try both toolboxs but am curious if anyone has done anything similar? The tools and workflow between both seem similar, at first blush, so I am wondering what the differences would be between the tools...algorithms?
Am using ArcInfo 10.0.

A: I found an answer to this on the ArcGIS Discussion Forums where Crystal Dorn back in 2007 says more or less the same as @GetSpatial:

The core Hydrology tools serve as a foundation for the ArcHydro
  extension.
The ArcHydro extension helps with the overall workflow of building a
  hydrologically correct elevation surface amongst other things. It has
  nice menus organized in order of how most hydrology projects would
  start to finish, so it helps you keep track of the processing flow.
A great example, the core Hydrology tools include a "Fill" function,
  but that only does one iteration of filling sinks -- the next step is
  often run 'Sink' again to find if there are still sinks to Fill and so
  on and so on. Fill often requires iterative processing until all sinks
  are filled and the ArcHydro tools are a big help here b/c you just run
  it and let it finish and it will figure out the iterations for you.
But there are many more custom written tools that are on the ArcHydro
  toolbar to help in analysis and hydrology dataset building. I've found
  them to be a big time saver.
ArcHydro also includes a data model you may find useful for modeling
  your resulting hydrology datasets in the Geodatabase.


The English new-wave project Yungblud released the dubstep single 21st Century Liability a few hours ago.
First appearing on stage just over a year ago to a small audience in London (England) Yungblud has since taken to the stage in full venues across both sides of the Atlantic and is heading over Australia in July along with managing to find time to have released an EP and the new single 21st Century Liability.
Combining influences from dancehall, with rap and rock, whilst drawing deeply on experiences of the local environment, the music has a global resonance, so comes as no surprise they are fast gaining an international fanbase.
The US indie-dance quartet VRSTY released the single Neon on the 27th of April.
Carefully negotiating the chasm between rock and pop VRSTY are able to navigate the sharp cliff-faces and reveal music which holds both interest to those who like shiny veneer and those who prefer gouged natural wood without disappearing in to a vortex of their own making.
It will be interesting to discover how things develop for the quartet over time as the tensions between the two very disparate: natural audiences; styles of music; presentation and, most importantly, natural affinity could all so easily snap in to fragments.
The US americana outfit Bay Station released the LP Other Desert Cities on the 27th of April.
A ten track, roughly thirty five minutes, release (available on bandcamp) invites the listener to bring friends around and settle on a stoop with a cold beer to hand whilst passing the ebb and flow of the day in their company.
The compositions, which don't try and do anything fancy, are evidently written and performed by musicians who know one end of an instrument from another as the tracks all have, appropriately, the ability to create the impression of dry dust seeping through the speakers and hence reference to the subject matter at hand.
The sixth track is Baja Blues.


You can compare your total taxes paid in 2018 to the amount paid in 2017. But your income may have changed, so instead you can compare your ratio of taxes to income in the two years. Middle-income filers received an estimated average tax cut of $780, and the ratio of their individual income, payroll, and excise taxes to income fell 9 percent (see top of table 1).
What the heck? There were only minor changes to capital gains taxes in the law, and Cohen's claim that most or all ordinary folks got tax increases is far off base. Moore's claim that 90 percent received cuts is more accurate.
The table below from the Tax Policy Center (TPC) shows the share of households that received individual cuts in 2018 within five income groups (see top of table 2).
Overall, 65 percent of households received a tax cut and just 6 percent had an increase. However, the bottom two income groups, on net, do not pay any individual income taxes. The tax "cuts" for those two groups are mainly increases in refundable tax credits.
Looking at households that pay federal income taxes—those in the top three groups—more than 82 percent received an individual tax cut under the GOP tax law. If you include the effects of the corporate tax cuts, more than 90 percent of households in these tax-paying groups received a cut (see bottom of table 2).
Numerous aspects of the GOP tax law were misguided, including the increased progressivity it created, as noted here and here. Furthermore, Republican efforts to increase spending on defense, farm subsidies, and many other things are grossly inconsistent with their tax-cutting agenda.
However, the vast majority of tax-paying households did in fact receive a tax cut under the GOP law, and Steve Moore should "be allowed" to say it.

Kuusisto [] (schwed. Kustö) ist eine Insel im Schärenmeer vor der Südwestküste Finnlands. Sie ist der Stadt Kaarina vorgelagert und hat eine Fläche von 19 km². Den schmalen Sund zwischen der Insel und dem Festland überspannt eine Brücke, auch mit der zu Pargas gehörigen Insel Kirjalaön ist Kuusisto über eine Brücke verbunden. Bis 1946 war Kuusisto eine eigenständige Gemeinde, heute gehört die Insel zu Kaarina.

Auf Kuusisto befand sich im Mittelalter die Burg der Bischöfe von Turku. Nach Einführung der Reformation wurde sie 1528 auf Befehl von König Gustav I. Wasa abgetragen. Heute ist sie nur noch eine Ruine. Die Holzkirche von Kuusisto ist ein schlichter einschiffiger Bau aus dem Jahr 1792, der freistehende Kirchturm stammt noch vom Vorgängerbau und wurde bereits 1763 errichtet. Der Kirchhof wird von einer etwa ebenso alten Bruchsteinmauer eingefasst.

Im Westteil der Insel befindet sich inmitten eines Waldgebietes der Fernseh-Sendemast Turku (). Der mit Pardunen abgespannt 320 Meter hohe Mast stammt aus dem Jahr 1965.

I'm trying to run FFX on my laptop but I drop from 60 to 40 fps whenever there are a lot of character models on my screen. I was wondering if there is any way I can optimize my settings to fix this. I am currently using the default plugin settings.


Child Marriage and Dowry System is a common social problem in Bangladesh also in Sitakunda Upazilla, especially at fisherman villages. UNICEF report said 66 percent of girls get married before the age of 18. Early marriage can cause severe problems like; Psychological and emotional stress, health problems, Mental and emotional stress etc. Also the problem of dowry has become a serious social evil among the upper castes and middle classes both in towns and villages.
For preventing of Child Marriage and Dowry System, with more than 100 LDP Youth and Community Leaders of LDP, Local People, Civil Society and Media People joined hands to prevent Child Marriage and Dowry System by forming a human chain at Mirerhat Bazar along Syedpur Union Parishad.
This campaign was a great success with almost 200 people participating in it. In of them 40 are female participants and five are disable. We stood there from 4.00 pm to 5.00 pm by forming a human chain. LDP leaders were presence there and showing various banner and placards on bad effect of Child Marriage and Dowry system.
Here, our leaders raise voice and awareness for preventing of Child Marriage and say against of Dowry System. Finally leaders seek a strong role of Union Parishad, Civil Society and Administration in this regard.
After that, a general discussion was held which was chaired by Chairman, Syedpur Union Parishad. Representative of local civil society, YPSA-LDP Project Coordinators (Md. Abdus Sabur), Program Officers (Janntul Frdous, Gowri Bala), Youth and Community Leaders and other NGO officials was participant there. This discussion was coordinated by Jesmin Akter, Program Officer, YPSA-Leadership Development Program (LDP).
Chairman, Syedpur Union, Sitakund urged that everyone have to commitment against Child Marriage and Dowry System specially drawn attention to Youth Leaders and Community Leaders and assure Union Parishad will be always beside this type of activity.
The guardians are also forced to marry off their immature daughters when they get teased-stalked by local spoilt youths. The health conditions deteriorate when an underage mother becomes pregnant due to early marriage. She has to lead a repressive life, as she does not have mental maturity to shoulder the responsibility of a family. These girl children sometimes return to their fathers' houses after being divorced and their children fall into a helpless situation. Early marriage is a barrier to the next generation to be groomed as worthy citizens and in a healthy way. Though as per the existing law, obeying associated issues including attaining marriage age (21 years for men and 18 years for women) is considered as legal marriage. The early marriage is anti-constitutional as it is contrary to social justice and fundamental rights of the people.

Arsenal footballer Hector Bellerin is a principled Gunner with a social conscience. Read on for his socially responsible views on climate change, veganism and much, much more.

The socially aware footballer on being vegan, on climate change, on harmful plastic...
With social issues, I think as footballers we have a massive platform that we should be using way more than we actually are. I know it is very comfortable to just sit at home and stay with your family, your kids and your friends and not think about anything, but with the platform we have, we should be the people that scream at these social issues and out them out there, so as a society we can move forward. There are so many things for me… the climate is a big one, obviously after going plant-based, going vegan, all the things around that is something I like to get involved with. Plastic is a massive issue as well, growing up in the coastline of Barcelona and going back now and seeing all this rubbish in the sea - when I enjoyed it as a kid - makes me sad for the next generations. There are so many things as footballers that we could help more with.

Having a social conscience n the generational clash and people of his age being interested in social issues…
I think it is so different. I think the new generation, not just my one but the ones that are coming after me, they are people that know what is happening, there is so much information there now on the internet and on streaming services, they are raising these problems. The young people and the youth are trying to fight for a world where there is equality, where everyone is the same and helping each other. We want to take care of the planet, we want to make it a better one. It feels like the people who are ruling it want to do it the other way around: they want to separate people, they want to make even more damage on this earth while we are trying to make it better. So if the youth keep having the same mind right now, this open mind that we can have a better world than we have right now, then I am sure it will happen and it will be better altogether.

On whether footballers understand their platform to affect change…
Sometimes they don't understand and sometimes they do, but they'd rather sit at home without pushing these issues. For me, when I raise these issues I always have a backlash in terms of 'you should just stick to football' but it is not about that. There are problems that everyone can see but some people try to hide them. When you have a voice, a platform and a following like we do, we are influential people, people that kids growing up want to be like us - and even adults want to have a son like us, or live the life we do - there are not many people in a better position than us to raise social issues, racial issues or environmental issues than anyone else. It is our duty to do the most we can with it.

10 Archway teacher on trial for 'encouraging terrorism'
On why more footballers don't speak out…
There's all sorts of issues. I feel like the football industry is an industry where we have to be really quiet and play. I think the code around it is that footballers can't really do anything else other than kick a ball. This is kind of the stereotype, so when there's a footballer who's stepping out of the box he's always seen as someone that is not focused enough on football because he's doing this, he's doing that. As I always say, we have so much time and we're humans so we have issues and worries. We should push these things. I think in America they're more advanced in terms of these things. A lot of players have come out talking about mental health for example. This has always been something that has been very taboo to talk about, especially for men. After that, I know that Danny Rose had to talk about it. All these issues which, back in the day there was a stigma for men to talk about it or there was a stigma as a group of people, as footballer to talk about these things, it's important that we take these chains off and start talking about it moving forward with an open mind.

On whether talking about it now will have a domino effect…
If you put it just that way, Imagine there's a kid out there who's not happy with himself. He's not a kid, a teenager and he knows that he's got an issue but he's scared because he doesn't know what his family or friends are going to think about him. Then a player who he looks up to, like Danny Rose, raises this issue, it's probably going to give this kid the push he needs to get out there and talk about it. From there, hopefully he can then be back in the best health he can, and move forward from that issue. There's so many people like that who don't actually know they even have an issue until they can put two and two together by thinking, 'Oh this guy has said this, maybe I have the same problem, maybe I should talk about it and maybe I should solve it'. There's so many good things and positive things that come with raising problems and actually showing people that we're humans. We're not machines, we're good at what we do, we have talent and we work really hard but sometimes it feels like this is all we do and our life is just playing football. It's not. We're humans, we have a life, we have families and we have problems, worries, and it's important to speak about them to get people to relate to ourselves as well.
On if he'd consider a career in politics after he retires from football…
I don't think I would go that way. I was very impressed with George Weah's story. I knew Arsène Wenger was always very close to him. He spoke about him a few times when we had team talks. We knew how much it meant to him when he signed him and then seeing that he evolved to become the president of Liberia. It's amazing that the power of football can give you that window to raise all these problems and then become the president of your country. When it's all about helping your country or influencing the people to move forward, it's something that is amazing. Sometimes people send me messages where they are drinking the same canned water that I drink and say they've given up plastic, those things make me happy, even if it's just one person. I spoke about the plastic issue a couple of months ago. Some kids at a north London school saw it and I had 400 letters from kids at that school saying they'd seen it. They're just little kids but they're so understanding of the damage it has done. They wrote about seeing a video of a whale, and it's so sad. When you can influence people, even if it's just a small group, that's what makes me happy and makes me not listen to all the bad things people say about me. All of that makes me a thousand times more happy than the other stuff can make me sad.
On the environment and making small changes for a combined big difference…
Of course. I saw something the other day along the lines of 'oh, it's only one straw'. That's what billions of people said and it is kind of like that. A lot of people think the message isn't to them because they're only one person in a massive world. But if everyone takes that same action for good, it can save tonnes of water, plastic, animals. Everyone needs to feel that this message is to them. It would be very selfish to think it's not. We can't live in a perfect world right now, and we probably can't not use plastic at all. But if there's one little thing you don't buy, or don't use, and swap it for something better for this world, if everyone did that, we could make it happen.

Stonehenge and the Ice Age
How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument. Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...
Some of the ideas discussed in this blog are published in my new book called "The Stonehenge Bluestones" -- available by post and through good bookshops everywhere. Bad bookshops might not have it....

Liverpool Land piedmont glacier apron
There is evidence in eastern Jameson Land of till having been laid down by westward-flowing glaciers. These came from the Liverpool Land mountains and coalesced into a broad apron filling a wide transverse trough. When the ice in the apron thickened sufficiently, flow was diverted northwards and southwards.
We have talked a lot about piedmont glaciers on this blog, in relation to glaciers decanting from troughs or fjords out onto adjacent lowlands — but not much about piedmont APRONS. These are rather interesting, since they consist of coalescing piedmont glaciers which spread laterally.
The Liverpool Land (East Greenland) example is an interesting one, and a number of authors have referred to the wide apron of glacier ice that filled the deep through valley connecting Hurry Fjord in the south to Carlsberg Fjord in the north. This happened in the last glacial maximum (LGM) and probably in all preceding glaciations as well. The glaciers flowing westwards came from the alpine mountain range of Liverpool Land. On the east side of the mountains the glaciers coalesced on the open coast, and there may well have been a calving ice shelf.
According to the reconstructions, the coalescing piedmont glaciers filled the transverse trough and then flowed northwards and southwards towards the coast. This must have happened in multiple locations in the arctic — and we can see examples today from Greenland, Arctic Canada and Arctic Russia. We have referred in an earler post to Putorana:
Putorana — the mountain front runs across the photo, and the morainic loops show how the individual glaciers coalesced into an extensive "glacier apron".

More on the Scoresby Sound piedmont glacier
In this interpretation it is argued that the whole of Jameson Land was deeply submerged beneath ice from the Greenland ice Sheet during the Salian Glaciation. Glacial deposits referred to the "older drift" glaciation are dated to this phase, as are some of the glacial deposits found in the "driftless" area. Other deposits in that area are assumed to be even older -- and are largely destroyed. The "newer drift" deposits are dated to the LGM or Late Weichselian: these are closer to the coast, and suggest that the ice from the piedmont Glacier pressed inland up to altitudes around 250m, buttressed by cold and non-erosive ice formed on the Jameson Land uplands. This ice cap covered and protected older deposits. Other active glaciers flowed westwards, down from the accumulation areas on the mountains of Liverpool Land, maybe feeding a south-flowing glacier in Hurry Fjord..
This is an important paper from which I have quoted before -- check things out by doing a search for "Jameson Land."
https://www.academia.edu/17754297/Late_Pleistocene_glacial_history_of_Jameson_Land_central_East_Greenland_derived_from_cosmogenic_10_Be_and_26_Al_exposure_dating
Hakansson, L., Alexanderson, H., Hjort, C., Moller, P., Briner, J. P., Aldahan, A. & Possnert, G.: 2008. Late Pleistocene ¨ glacial history of Jameson Land, central East Greenland, derived from cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al exposure dating. Boreas, Vol. 38, pp. 244–260.
10.1111/j.1502-3885.2008.00064.x. ISSN 0300–9483.
Previous work has presented contrasting views of the last glaciation on Jameson Land, central East Greenland, and still there is debate about whether the area was: (i) ice-free, (ii) covered with a local non-erosive ice cap(s), or (iii) overridden by the Greenland Ice Sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Here, we use cosmogenic exposure ages from erratics to reconcile these contrasting views. A total of 43 erratics resting on weathered sandstone and on sediment-covered surfaces were sampled from four areas on interior Jameson Land; they give 10Be ages between 10.9 and 269.1 kyr. Eight erratics on weathered sandstone and till-covered surfaces cluster around 70 kyr, whereas 10Be ages from erratics on glaciofluvial landforms are substantially younger and range between 10.9 and 47.2 kyr. Deflation is thought to be an important process on the sediment-covered surfaces and the youngest exposure ages are suggested to result from exhumation. The older (470 kyr) samples have discordant 26Al and 10Be data and are interpreted to have been deposited by the Greenland Ice Sheet several glacial cycles ago. The younger exposure ages ( 70 kyr) are interpreted to represent deposition by the ice sheet during the Late Saalian and by an advance from the local Liverpool Land ice cap in the Early Weichselian. The exposure ages younger than Saalian are explained by periods of shielding by non-erosive ice during the Weichselian glaciation. Our work supports previous studies in that the Saalian Ice Sheet advance was the last to deposit thick sediment sequences and western erratics on interior Jameson Land. However, instead of Jameson Land being ice-free throughout the Weichselian, we document that local ice with limited erosion potential covered and shielded large areas for substantial periods of the last glacial cycle.
Then there is this -- the article itself is behind a paywall, but we get the gist of it from the abstract:
LARS RONNERT and MATS R. NYBORG, 1994. The distribution of different glacial landscapes on southern Jameson Land, East Greenland, according to Landsat Thematic Mapper Data.
Boreas, Volume 23, Issue 4
https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1502-3885.1994.tb00603.x
Four geologic units previously mapped in southern Jameson Land. East Greenland (Funder 1978, 1990) are identifiable on a false colour composite of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) spectral hands TM5. TM4 and TM1. The area covered by the Weichselian glaciations has a fresh glacial morphology and a less developed drainage system than the older landscape. The Weichselian glaciers reached more than 200 m a.s.l. in the west. but only about 100 m a.s.l. in the east. A contextual analysis (local frequency and local orientation) was included in a Maximum Likelihood classification (M‐L) to map the extent of the Weichselian glaciations. Deposits correlated with the Saalian Scoreshy Sund glaciation are found on the central plateaux of Jameson Land. Landsat TM geological mapping of the surficial distribution of deposits from the Scoreshy Sund glaciation and of weathered Jurassic sandstone or deposits with a high percentage of such sandstone was done using a supervised Maximum Likelihood procedure. Except for the mapping of thc extent of the Late Weichselian Flakkerhuk glaciation, the Maximum Likelihood boundaries between units are in general agrecnient with earlier mapping or with the visual interpretation of the false colour composite. A strong vegetational influence. and similar spectral reflectance lrom deposits of different age due to similarities in lithological composition reduced the possibility of an independent remote sensing approach. Taking already existing general geological knowledge and chronology into account allowed successful Landsat TM geological mapping.
The Scoresby Sund piedmont glacier
The LGM maximum (Flakkerhuk) stage is shown by the location of the Kap Brewster moraine complex. When the ice front was at that position Scoresby Sund and Jameson Land must have been covered by a very large piedmont lobe. Evidence suggests that the ice was grounded all the way out to the Kap Brewster moraine. The Milne Land stage, around 10,000 years ago, represents a readvance which did not progress much beyond the trough exits. Note from the text below that some researchers believe that Jameson Land was covered at the time of the LGM and others think it was ice-free!
On pondering about the nature of the Celtic Sea piedmont glacier, I am focussing more and more on Nordvestfjord, Scoresbysund and Jameson Land. The parallels are striking. In Nordvestfjord, a very large outlet glacier / ice stream like the Irish Sea Glacier, inputs from the flanks like those that came in from the Welsh ice cap and the Irish ice cap, a sudden deceleration / decanting of ice (Hall Bredning and St George's Channel), further inputs from the west (glacier ice from the Renland and Milne Land glaciers and in the case of the Celtic Sea piedmont, from southern Ireland) and finally a spreading of the ice southwards and eastwards over gentler terrain (Scoresbysund and Jameson Land in the case of Greenland and the Celtic Sea floor and the Bristol Channel floor -in the British case -- both probably above relative sea-level at the time -- so there would have been no ice shelves) -- except maybe off the set coast.
The Scoresby Sound piedmont was apparently grounded -- the water depth in the sound today is between 400m and 600m (much shallower water than in the feeder fjords). Global sea level at the time was probably more than 100m lower than today. But there were much greater isostatic depressions and rebounds here than in the Celtic Sea -- the implications need careful thought......
Running diagonally across this satellite image -- Nordvestfjord. the biggest of the outlet glacier routes. Hall Breeding is speckled with icebergs.
Nordvestfjord landscape -- near the entrance of Gurreholmsdal. The trough walls are in places almost 2,000 m high -- and the fjord water is in places more than 1,500 m deep. So the trough depth is c 3,500m or about 11,000 feet.
Fjord walls typical of the fjord system, near the Bear Islands. Renland in the background -- a "vertical landscape".....
Jameson Land -- a rolling lowland with ancient valleys and low hill masses. For many years it was thought that the landscape bore no traces of glaciation.....
Two images of the Jameson Land tundra landscape -- by contrast with the fjord landscape, this is dominated by wide horizons and "horizontal" features.

Gabriele Uenzelmann-Neben (1992) Scoresby Sund, East Greenland: Structure and Distribution of Sedimentary Rocks.
Polarforschung 62 (1): 1-9, 1992 (erschienen 1993)
In Scoresby Sund, the Pleistocene was a time characterized by erosion. Thicker deposits can be found only at the valley mouths, high mountain plateaus and the coast of Jameson Land (FUNDER 1990). The occurrence pattern of Quaternary sediments documents a number of glacial-interglacial cycles. The oldest sediments (Lodin Elv formation) found on land are of Pliocene/Pleistocene age. The most expanded glaciation, the Scoresby Sund Glacial, occurred around 200 ka (FUNDER 1972, 1984, 1989) and represents an important stratigraphic marker (HJORT & MÖLLER 1991; HJORT & SALVIGSEN 1991). Sediments deposited during the Langelandselv Interglacial (Eemian 120 ka, FUNDER 1990) can be found only along the southwestern coast of Jameson Land. This interglacial showed higher temperatures than the present and can be correlated with isotopic stage Se (BÖCHER & BENNICKE 1991). The first two Early Weichselian glacials (Glaciation 1 and 2 during the Jameson Land Marine Episode) showed neither an ice cover of the outer fjord areas (FUNDER 1989) nor of Jameson Land (FUNDER et al. 1991). During the Flakkerhuk Glacial (late Early Weichselian, FUNDER et al. 1991) a thick floating glacier extended out onto the shelf while Jameson Land stayed uncovered (FUNDER 1989, 1990). Glaciation 4 (Late Weichselian, FUND ER et al. 1991) commenced about 20 to 13 ka. Until present, it has been considered to be a minor glacial stage. Thick glaciers terminated at the mouths of the western fjords into Hall Bredning and Scoresby Sund during the Milne Land Stage (11 - 9.5 ka, HJORT 1979). After a continuous retreat of the glaciers astandstill followed during the Rodefjord Stage (FUNDER 1971). The end of that phase resembles the present ice extent.

Onshore studies at the mouth of Scoresby Sund have shown that the large grounded outlet glacier which filled the fjord basin during LGM, the Flakkerhuk stade, was thin and less than 400 m thick at the fjord mouth (Mangerud & Funder 1994; Tveranger, HoumarkNielsen, Løvberg & Mangerud 1994). It probably had its front on the "Kap Brewster sedimentary ridge", a 20 km wide, 175 m high, and more than 30 km long ridge of Quaternary sediments which has been located from air gun and bathymétrie data at the fjormouth (Fig. 4 and Dowdeswell, Uenzelmann-Neben, Whittington & Marienfeld 1994). This is in agreement with ice core studies on a local ice cap which showed that the Inland Ice during LGM was drained through the deep fjord troughs and never invaded the adjacent mountain plateaus at c. 2000 m a.s.l. (Johnsen, Clausen, Dansgaard, Gundestrup, Hansson, Jonsson, Steffensen & Sveinbjømsdottir 1992). Recent seismic studies have indicated that a similar but smaller moraine-like ridge occurs at the mouth of Kong Oscar Fjord to the north of Scoresby Sund, but is lacking from other fjords (Hubberten, Grobe, Jokat, Melles, Niessen & Stein 1995). Coring on the shelf and its edge at the mouth of Scoresby Sund and at Hochstetter Forland show maximum fluxes of terrigenous material and pulses of IRD indicating the presence of ice bergs and melt water from glacier fronts on the shelf between 16 and 21 ka. This was correlated with LGM in Scoresby Sund, the Flakkerhuk stade (Nam, Stein, Grobe & Hubberten 1995; Stein, Nam, Grobe & Hubberten in press). The history of the glacier in Scoresby Sund is discussed further below.
Scoresby Sund between 16 and 10 ka
The Scoresby Sund drainage system is the largest single outlet from the eastern margin of the Inland Ice. Owing to work during the PONAM Project this area has the most detailed record of events during and after LGM (Funder, Hjort & Landvik 1994), and current field work has added to this. The position of ice margins and key-14C dates are shown on Fig. 4, and details of the 14C-dates are given in Table 1. As noted above, a large outlet glacier filled the fjord system during LGM probably with its front on the Kap Brewster sedimentary ridge, between 16 and 21 ka (Fig.4). Six thousand years later, during the Milne Land stade, the glacier fronts had receded c. 150 km and uncovered the outer fjord basin. Current studies on western Jameson Land show that the glacial history during and after LGM began when the glacier in Scoresby Sund ran along the present coastline and deposited proglacial sediments along the margin and in blocked river valley basins. Next, during the peak of glaciation, the glacier expanded inland over the ice dammed lake basins, up to 15 kilometres from the coast and deposited thin and discontinuous till over the area. After this, the ice melted, maybe with lakes dammed against its margin. In the final collapse much of the land based ice was transformed to dead-ice as seen from the numerous kames. The retreating ice front was followed by marine water, and the present pattern of fluvial drainage was established with marine limit at c. 70 m above sea level in western Jameson Land. During the Milne Land stade the fjord glaciers advanced to positions on the western margin of the Scoresby Sund basin, but did not reinvade western Jameson Land (Fig. 4).
Strange tale from the Mediterranean
Thanks to Dave for alerting me to this very strange and somewhat garbled article in The Independent — by David Keys, one of our more gullible archaeological journalists:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/archaeology/ancient-greece-archaeology-keros-aegean-sea-bronze-age-dhaskalio-bible-pyramids-crete-milos-a8997666.html
I have no ideas how serious or well-founded this may be — it may just be the latest hoax from a group of researchers desperate for some headlines.......
Will do some research and report back......... in the meantime, if anybody out there knows more, and would like to share info, please post your comments.
Giant marble pyramid-shaped island complex rising from sea uncovered, revealing secrets of ancient Greece's origin
Exclusive: Thousands of years of history being unlocked in the Aegean isles which could provide groundbreaking knowledge of ancient civilisations.
Archaeologists now believe that, in order to construct the complex, early Bronze Age Greeks embarked on at least 3,500 maritime voyages to transport between 7,000 and 10,000 tonnes of shining white marble from one Aegean island to another.
Each return voyage would have required up to 24 crew members to paddle for around five hours.
"It is by far the largest prehistoric marine transport operation that has ever come to light anywhere in the world," said Dr Julian Whitewright, a leading maritime archaeologist at the University of Southampton.
"It demonstrates quite clearly just how important, and integral to their culture, seafaring was to these early Bronze Age Aegean people."
The voyages – totalling around 45,000 miles – allowed the architects to construct what is thought to have been a huge religious sanctuary consisting of up to 60 marble buildings, which were constructed specifically to glisten in the sun.
..........the architects "terra-formed" the pyramid-shaped island "mini-mountain", known in recent centuries as Dhaskalio (possibly just meaning "islet"), to create around 1,000m of artificial terracing, arranged in six "steps" on its steep slopes.
These roughly six-metre wide terraces appear to have been built specifically to accommodate all the buildings. The summit itself was not initially built on – but instead had a small, probably sacred, open area where votive offerings may have been deposited.

More on ice gradients in the Celtic Sea arena
A winter photo of the Malaspina Glacier, the word's biggest piedmont glacier at the present time.
I have mulled over this topic before, because of the apparent mismatch between modelling work and "ground truthing" in which field evidence is crucial. The diagram above shows assorted ice sheet long profiles, including some which accord reasonably well with the theoretical ice profile of an equilibrium glacier or ice sheet, and others (the red and green lines) which suggest that in some cases extremely low or "flat" profiles can be observed or deduced. The diagram is from a 1973 article by Matthews, in which he wondered why glaciers with such low profiles could still move and be capable of eroding and transporting erratics and morainic materials. See refs below.
The perfect piedmont glacier -- there are quite a few of them in North Greenland and Arctic Canada. Generally the gradient of the feeder glacier is steeper, and the gradient on the piedmont part very flat.....
The flat profiles come from the SW part of the Laurentide ice sheet and the "piedmont" glaciers flowing from the Cordilleran ice sheet. Lionel Jackson and colleagues have worked in areas affected by these glaciers, and have come to the view that gradients were often only about half as steep as those deduced by earlier researchers. Without going into detail about shear stresses, basal sliding and internal deformation, there seems to be a rule that piedmont glaciers can have very low profiles as the ice spreads laterally across open country. That makes sense, and measured gradients are usually below 8m per kilometre and sometimes as low as 1m per kilometre.
If we translate that into some crude figures for the Celtic Sea lobe, and if we assume for the moment that the long profile should be oriented from NE towards SW, as assumed by most researchers over the past 20 years, that means there could have been a grounded snout at -150m on the continental shelf edge and an ice surface at +250m about 400 km away in St George's Channel (if the gradient was 1m per km). At the other extreme, with a gradient of 8m per km, the ice surface in St George's Channel would have been at +3050m -- more or less as I have previously assumed in earlier posts. If we take a more modest figure of 4m per km, assuming the ice was dynamic enough to cross the Celtic Deep and still push southwards for 400 km, we get figures of -150m at the snout and +1,450m at the St George's Channel constriction point.
If the new suggestion from Scourse et al (2019) is to be taken seriously, glacially-forced isostatic depression on the shelf edge around 27,000 years ago must imply thicker rather than thinner ice, grounded over a substantial area. No doubt the modelling people are hard at work on this issue as we speak...........
Whatever the models throw up, we have to explain the presence of a Devensian ice edge at about 300m on Carningli and about 250m on the north face of Mynydd Preseli -- and at assorted altitudes below 100m around the south Pembrokeshire coast. Can these ice edge altitudes be accommodated in a scenario involving a very low long profile for the piedmont glacier in the Celtic Sea arena? Watch this space......
W. H. Mathews (1974) Surface profiles of the Laurentide ice sheet in its marginal areas. Jnl of Glaciology, Volume 13, Issue 67 1974 , pp. 37-43. Published online: 30 January 2017.
Jackson, L.E., Jr., Little, E.C, Leboe, E.R., and Holme, P.J., 1996: A re-evaluation of the paleoglaciology of the maximum continental and montane advances, southwestern Alberta; in Current Research 1996-A; Geological Survey ofCanada, p. 165-173.
Controversy over the age of the maximum known advances of continental and montane glaciers in southwestern Alberta rests largely on the paleoglaciology of the maximum montane piedmont glacier. Reconstruction of it, based upon features that mark the former glacier surface in the Foothills, indicate that the glacier had a maximum surface gradient of 0.4-0.6° - less than half the value assumed by previous workers. The continental ice sheet that was roughly coeval with the piedmont glacier and coalesced with it in the Foothills. Paleoglaciological evidence favours a Late Wisconsinan age for maximum extent of continental and montane ice.
Was there a Devensian ice stream in the Celtic sea arena?
Ice streams around the northern sector of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, shown with relation to reconstructed ice sheet edges. The Hudson Bay Ice Stream appears to have flowed in a distinct channel while bounded by more sluggish ice. The only ice stream that appears to have flowed as a lobe beyond the ice sheet edge was the McClure Ice Stream, but it too flowed through a highly constrained trough between islands like a great outlet glacier. It was probably bounded by local ice caps. It does not provide a good analogue for the Celtic Sea arena.
On the matter of the name we should give to the 80,000 sq km ice mass that occupied the Celtic Sea arena in the Late Devensian, this very comprehensive article is of great interest and relevance. Scourse et al (2019) have suggested that the Hudson Bay ice lobe is a reasonable comparator for the BIIS that they consider pressed all the way out to the shelf edge — but the authors of this article suggest that nearly all of the identified ice streams around the edges of the Laurentide Ice Sheet were typographically constrained — in other words, they flowed in great troughs bounded by uplands. The Hudson Bay Ice stream was no exception, and it did not apparently extend beyond the edge of the ice sheet itself at any stage.

10.1016/j.earscirev.2015.01.011.
This paper presents a comprehensive review and synthesis of ice streams in the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) based on a new mapping inventory that includes previously hypothesised ice streams and includes a concerted effort to search for others from across the entire ice sheet bed. The inventory includes 117 ice streams, which have been identified based on a variety of evidence including their bedform imprint, large-scale geomorphology/topography, till properties, and ice rafted debris in ocean sediment records. Despite uncertainty in identifying ice streams in hard bedrock areas, it is unlikely that any major ice streams have been missed. During the Last Glacial Maximum, Laurentide ice streams formed a drainage pattern that bears close resemblance to the present day velocity patterns in modern ice sheets. Large ice streams had extensive onset zones and were fed by multiple tributaries and, where ice drained through regions of high relief, the spacing of ice streams shows a degree of spatial self-organisation which has hitherto not been recognised. Topography exerted a primary control on the location of ice streams, but there were large areas along the western and southern margin of the ice sheet where the bed was composed of weaker sedimentary bedrock, and where networks of ice streams switched direction repeatedly and probably over short time scales. As the ice sheet retreated onto its low relief interior, several ice streams show no correspondence with topography or underlying geology, perhaps facilitated by localised build-up of pressurised subglacial meltwater. They differed from most other ice stream tracks in having much lower length-to-width ratios and have no modern analogues. There have been very few attempts to date the initiation and cessation of ice streams, but it is clear that ice streams switched on and off during deglaciation, rather than maintaining the same trajectory as the ice margin retreated. We provide a first order estimate of changes in ice stream activity during deglaciation and show that around 30% of the margin was drained by ice streams at the LGM (similar to that for present day Antarctic ice sheets), but this decreases to 15% and 12% at 12 cal ka BP and 10 cal ka BP, respectively. The extent to which these changes in the ice stream drainage network represent a simple and predictable readjustment to a changing mass balance driven by climate, or internal ice dynamical feedbacks unrelated to climate (or both) is largely unknown and represents a key area for future work to address.

I'm a native of Pembrokeshire. I read Geography at Oxford University prior to working in the Antarctic for a while and then I spent 11 years teaching geomorphology in Durham University. In 1976 I moved back to Wales with my wife and family to a smallholding -- where we set up two small businesses, my wife as a candle-maker and I as a writer and publisher. We have been at the same address now for 43 years. We couldn't live anywhere more beautiful. We have two sons and two grandsons. Apart from my great interest in Stonehenge and the bluestones, and local prehistory and folk traditions, I also write fiction -- and have now written eight volumes in the Angel Mountain Saga -- all tales about a feisty and imperfect heroine called Martha Morgan, who lived on the flanks of Carningli -- the mountain which lies between my home and the north Pembrokeshire coast.

This has worked fine for dozens of printers - real and Microsoft XPS / and various PDF utilities for many years - until Microsoft Print to PDF arrived!!
What happens with this printer is that as soon as P2 is entered the expected printer dialogue box is displayed and you then press print then the P2 process immediately becomes a background task and thus P1 just hangs. The print*, www in the above code is not actioned in this scenario.
HOWEVER if you wait 5 seconds with the Printer Dialogue box displayed and then press Print all works fine!
I can obviously use START_PPROCESS or START_PROCESS_AND_WAIT@ (both of which work in the normal manner one would expect) but then I will have to incorporate either messaging or file creation/deletion in over 20 programs to ensure P2 etc etc has finished before other printouts are selected.
Not really possible to turn this into a trivial example I'm afraid but any ideas would be most gratefully received.
I would try commenting out some or perhaps all of the calls to yield_program_control@. They may not be helping in this context.
Thanks Paul - Initial attempt doing this gave no change - will continue trying but unless others have ideas I think it will eventually be up to START_PPROCESS and messaging / files. Really cannot understand why given the print dialogue comes up quickly as expected and accepts the Print action why the program seems to get lost. (if you select (immediately) NOT to print at this dialogue normal actions resume immediately).
Also, even if you pre-define the printer and use open_printer1 (for the MS PDF printer - and only with this printer) then the same problem occurs.
A Google search reveals that others have experienced this problem on this particular printer (MS Print to PDF). The solution from a Silverfrost perspective is to use START_PROCESS_AND_WAIT@ which does allow this 'printer' - this inserts additional yield_process calls whilst the called process is executing.

Well, that's certainly a way to end Sober September.
I'm heading back to Europe for a few weeks this October, and I'm kicking things off with a boozy trip around Britain. Alongside Matt of LandLopers and Rachelle of The Travel Bite, I'm spending a week sampling the finest British gins throughout England.
I adore gin. It's my favorite spirit and I went from a college kid whining about how it tasted like trees to an adult searching out gin's nuanced flavors. My favorite cocktail is the gin-based French 75. And when I go to high-end bars, I often suggest that the bartender make me something with gin and orange.
So you can see that while I rarely take on campaigns or organized press trips these days, this was one that I was quite eager to join, especially since it was sponsored by the UK Trade & Investment instead of a destination marketing organization.
Altogether, my route is London-Warrington-Lake District-Liverpool-Birmingham-Cotswolds-Northampton-London. An ambitious five-day itinerary that will have me taking in some of the best distilleries in the country.
I'm excited to make my first visits to the Lake District and the Cotswolds, two of the most beautiful areas in England, along with making my second visits to Liverpool and Birmingham. I actually didn't do anything Beatles-oriented on my first trip to Liverpool, but this time I'm diving deep into Beatlemania!
But more importantly, I'm looking forward to sampling the gins and finding out what makes British gin so special. And after a month of sobriety, I hope my body can handle multiple distillery visits each day!
Finally, if you've been reading my site for awhile, you know that I spent a few years dating British guys and living in the UK half the time. The UK and I thus have a peculiar relationship, one that was fraught with equal amounts of joy and frustration. You could also argue that I became as British as a person like me is capable of being, and I feel like I understand the nuances of the UK more deeply than any other country.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to discovering more of the UK as a tourist, not a girlfriend/quasi-resident. Now I go in with all of the knowledge and none of the pressure. It's just for fun.
Also: on Monday, October 5, we're having a Twitter chat about gin and UK travel. The chat will take place at 3:00 PM ET with the hashtag #GREATBritishSpirit. Anglophiles and curious onlookers are welcome. Oh, and there shall be prizes!
So if there's anything that you want me to cover on this trip, do let me know!
This campaign was created and sponsored by UK Trade & Investment in partnership with iambassador. Adventurous Kate retains all editorial control of what is published.

In Live Baccarat, nine is the lucky number. Two cards determine whether you will win or lose. The dealer gets one and you get one. Before each round you bet on who will win. Naturally, you choose the hand that you assume will be the closest to the number nine.
Extreme Live Gaming software offers four Live Baccarat tables: VIP, Classic, Standard Baccarat and Super 6. The later table uses various camera angels such as those from the perspective of the dealer in order to make the game play as realistic as possible. Superb 6 is a thrilling baccarat version usually run by Asian dealers where in addition to the standard bets, you can also wager or Super 6 and other side bets.
Super 6 Live Baccarat uses 8 decks of playing cards. The game is played just like standard baccarat and players bet on the banker, player and on tie. The extra feature in this game is the side bet – the Super 6 wager which pays 12 to 1. Also, players can bet on the banker with score six and with score other than six. These pay out 0.5 to 1 and 1 to 1 respectively. Bets on the player pay 1 to 1 while the bets on tie pay 8 to 1. Other side bets such as Big/Small and Pairs are also allowed.
This baccarat version also has four roadmaps, namely Big Road, Small Road, Big Eye Roads and Cockroach Road. They record history and trends in a current game session. With the information they display players can make knowledgeable decisions on how to bet. The first roadmap, the Big Road, records the accrual results of the game while the other roadmaps record the trends.
Superb 6 Live Baccarat from Extreme Live Gaming provider is a pretty innovative and exciting game. In addition to the standard game play, players can place Superb 6 wagers including other side bets. The useful roadmaps are also an excellent addition as so is the live chat feature that enables chatting with the dealer.

Set between jungle topped cliffs, Tagachang beach is one of Guam's many beautiful beaches but unlike some, this one is remote and ungroomed.
Located on the southeast side of the island, it is off the usual tourist routes, there are no buses to this beach, so a car or taxi is required. Unlike Tumon Bay beaches, Tagachang is quiet , but best enjoyed during daylight hours for safety. Like many of the eastern beaches, an outer reef breaks the surf and makes the beach calm and safe for swimming.
Because of its uncrowned location and shallow waters, it makes an ideal beach for children, those who do not swim well or for just relaxing. While the outer reef makes the beach calm and safe, beyond or on the reef can be treacherous for even the most advanced swimmers so always stay near the beach.
This hidden jewel is found on the North end of Yona village off Route 4.

Coming from the North end of the island take Route 4 into Yona, pass the Pago Bay Resort construction area, as you pass the Pago Bay lookout, prepare to turn at the first road on the left and follow it all the way down to the beach.

Are the Colts Looking to Make a Trade?
The Percy Harvin trade today in the NFL and Jim Irsay's comments recently have reignited the potential trade talk about the Colts, but as of right now it's unlikely any moves will be made.
By Josh Wilson@JoshWilsonSB Oct 17, 2014, 6:49pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Are the Colts Looking to Make a Trade?
Joe Robbins
By now you've probably heard the big news about the trade that happened in the NFL this afternoon. The Seahawks sent wide receiver Percy Harvin to the Jets for a conditional pick. It was a move that seemingly came out of nowhere and proved yet again how unpredictable the National Football League is.

The NFL is so unpredictable
— Vick Ballard (@VickBallard) October 17, 2014

Regarding trades, many people think back to the biggest trade to happen last year, and that was the Colts sending a first round pick to the Browns for running back Trent Richardson, a move that has been heavily discussed here. Colts general manager Ryan Grigson has been no stranger to trades, and some of them have worked out very well (such as the trade for Vontae Davis or the trade up in the draft to get T.Y. Hilton) and some of them haven't (such as the Richardson trade). So far this year, however, he's been quiet on the trade front (besides for a move in training camp to add an extra pick by trading Marcus Burley to Seattle). Will that remain? The trade discussion among Colts fans has picked back up in recent days with some quotes from owner Jim Irsay, via the Indianapolis Star's Stephen Holder:
"Obviously we're taking it a game at a time, but this week Ryan and Chuck and I met and talked about anything we can do before the trade deadline (or) past the trade deadline in terms of having some young, ascending players who might be able to help us. . . and do whatever we can to get that edge," Irsay said. "Obviously health is going to play a big role in how we move forward. If we can stay relatively healthy, I think this team really has something special. That's what I'm focused on. It's exciting to see."
That could be the foreshadowing of something big to come, or it could be just idle chatter. Either way, Irsay sounds like a guy who does not intend to waste the opportunity before his team.
Holder notes that Ryan Grigson has moved into an effort to collect draft picks rather than trade them away, which we saw an example of with the Burley trade, and this because he knows of the looming contracts of some big name plays like, say, Andrew Luck or T.Y. Hilton. In other words, a big trade like last year is very unlikely for a Colts team that is more concerned about saving picks rather than trading them.
With that said, however, Irsay sounds like a guy who clearly understands the opportunity the Colts have now: they're beginning to look like Super Bowl contenders once again and they're doing it with Luck and others on smaller deals thanks to their still being on their rookie contracts. As an owner, that's definitely not an opportunity you want to waste, and Irsay knows that. Thus his comments make perfect sense, that the Colts would explore potential trades up until the October 28th trade deadline. Really, there's no surprise with that. The Colts will explore their options, like always, but whether or not they actually make a move is something much less uncertain.
At first thought, the answer is no. I would be surprised if the Colts make a trade. To the best of my knowledge, there's currently nothing on the horizon in terms of potential trades for the Colts, and it just doesn't make a lot of sense for them to do so. Last year they learned all too well that guys are available for a reason when they traded for Richardson, and as the saying goes, fool me once shame on you, but fool me twice shame on me. Any trade the Colts would make would very likely not be anything major, and I don't really anticipate any trade happening at all.
The Colts want to win this year, no doubt, but they also have to work in light of the future and in light of some big contracts upcoming. Soon, Grigson won't be able to go on spending sprees in the spring but will rather be working in Indianapolis to re-sign his own guys. And when that time comes (which is coming soon), the Colts will need to build through the draft and fill needs that way. Giving up draft picks now for someone available in a trade is probably not the best thing to do right now. And giving up a player for another player? Well, just consider which player you'd like the Colts to trade and then ask yourself honestly - do you think the Colts would really trade that player OR do you think the Colts could really get much for that player? Most likely the answer to at least one of those questions is no.
The Percy Harvin trade today reminds us of how unpredictable the NFL is, and Jim Irsay's recent comments give some spark to rumors about the Colts and potential trades, but right now it seems very unlikely that the Colts would make a move. With Ryan Grigson, however, we can never rule it out, and as we know about the National Football League, things can change in a hurry.

Some parts of Guidance feel a little familiar for Russian Circles, but it's still a document of a band operating at the peak of its powers.
Russian Circles epitomize the economy of sound. The Chicago-based band consists of just three members: Mike Sullivan (guitars), Brian Cook (bass), and Dave Turncrantz (drums). Most Russian Circles songs consist of multiple guitar parts, but both on album and in a live setting, it is up to Sullivan and his expertly honed looping pedal to project all of those parts in perfect precision. Turncrantz is in the upper tier of working drummers -- irrespective of genre -- but his kit is not decked out with the extensive bells and whistles that so often accompany the kits of metal drummers. Cook's rumbly basslines are instantly identifiable, yet he avoids turning them into a trope, instead finding ways to make them usable in both crunchy metal songs and quiet, meditative instrumental landscapes. Russian Circles is made up only of three men wielding three instruments (or four, when Cook occasionally uses a baritone guitar), but the collective sounds they make could move mountains. One Twitter user wasn't simply joking when he said of the band's 2013 album Memorial, "Spun new Russian Circles walking to work & feel like conducted WWII air raid, lost friend, got married, studied Tai Chi, gave a people hope."
Memorial is as hyperbolically kaleidoscopic as that string of imagined events lets on. Russian Circles are a rare case wherein each one of their albums is a clear, ascending step to the next. Memorial, the trio's fifth studio LP, is a peak that few other bands in the instrumental metal genre have achieved. This is a considerable feat when one takes into account the album that preceded Memorial, 2011's Empros, is an difficult album to best. Memorial doesn't oust Empros by leaps and bounds, but it does surpass and cement that record's achievement, in the process affirming Russian Circles' status as the masters of the instrumental metal form.
The enormity of Memorial's success leads to a daunting question: "Where do they go from here?" Russian Circles would have been well within their rights to call it quits; the five LPs they released into the world between 2006 and 2013 are of a rare caliber, one that any artist or band would be correct to envy. Yet since 2009's Geneva, the trio has released an album every two years. That gap is now slightly elongated with Guidance, the band's sixth studio outing, which is being released three years after Memorial. Having achieved the prized view from the mountaintop – quite literally in the case of Memorial, given the aerial view of a mountain range on its sleeve art – Russian Circles have to find a way to keep challenging themselves.
The first three tracks on Guidance find the band living up to its reputation. Like the tension-filled and teasing "Campaign", which begins Russian Circles' astounding sophomore LP Station, Guidance opener "Asa" is a study in misleading expectations, an all-important skill in instrumental genres like post-rock and post-metal. If there's one major flaw that can be found in the scores of Explosions in the Sky imitators, it's that the thrill of a crescendo is too often rendered rote. Bad post-rock or post-metal is defined by how quickly one can anticipate a build-up. "Asa", driven by clean guitar arpeggios, tricks the listener with moments where things might pick up, where Turncrantz's percussion might come in, but neither of those things happen. Sullivan quietly picks his chords, undoubtedly foreshadowing the storm ahead but building up as much tension as possible in the meantime.
The promise of a sonic maelstrom that lingers in the chord changes of "Asa" is realized in the one-two punch of "Vorel" and "Mota", which already feel like Russian Circles classics. "Vorel" begins with a militaristic atmosphere propelled by rapid hits on the snare by Turncrantz and tremolo picking by Sullivan, which eventually culminates in a death march riff as only Russian Circles could write it. Here the influence of Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou, who produced Guidance, is acutely felt. "Mota" answers the gritty "Vorel" with a palm-muted guitar figure that pops like fireworks crackling against a night sky, until eventually coming to a thunderous, distorted close. Turncrantz and Cook, the most underrated rhythm section alive, are a strong rudder guiding these songs throughout the tumult that defines them. The stretch of "Asa" to "Mota" is a reminder of what this trio does, and that nobody does it better.
This makes the succeeding three tunes -- "Afrika", "Overboard", and "Calla" -- a bit of a disappointment. Some exceptional drumming from Turncrantz notwithstanding, the melody in "Afrika" never really takes off. The production on "Overboard" follows the same spacey, echoey model of Memorial's title cut, and feels less interesting than it could be for doing so. "Calla" is a rare case where repetition doesn't do the band well; the main repeated riff doesn't feel interesting enough to carry the song. Guidance does end resoundingly with the funeral doom-inspired "Lisboa", whose jazzy drums in the first section are sledgehammered by Sullivan, bringing the song and the album home with earth-rumbling strums. Still, the midsection of the LP feels familiar, the sound of a group stepping over its tracks.
What is "familiar" in the context of Russian Circles is still several classes above the many B-grade post-metal outfits out there. This is a band operating at the peak of its powers, and when Guidance hits, it hits hard. When the album stumbles it is not because the band is no longer trying, but rather because they like any other great band have a lofty challenge in trying to build upon an intricately crafted sound. Guidance has parts where Russian Circles deliver on the promise of their astounding career, and instances where one is reminded of their greatest hits. The latter may be less appealing to those acquainted with the Russian Circles discography, but the former is still a thing to behold. "Asa" bleeding into the bustling "Vorel", "Lisboa" bursting open in a glorious dynamic swell: these moments that remind us that in the music of Russian Circles, a note is worth a thousand images.

Hard working Steelheads could earn call-ups under new affiliation with Team Cascadia
Cascadia, Steelheads
SMOKEY POINT, WA— The Snohomish County FC Steelheads are excited to work with the Cascadia Association Football Federation (CAFF) and Team Cascadia after it was recently announced that the Western Washington Premier League (WWPL) would be affiliating with the organization.
In a release from the WWPL that you can read here, the league states:
Going forward CAFF and the WWPL will cooperate together to allow players on clubs in the Washington men's adult premier league increased opportunities to showcase their talents to CAFF coaches with the goal of eventually having multiple WWPL players represent our region on the Cascadia team.
It's all about raising the level of awareness for the WWPL and Team Cascadia while at the same time providing further opportunities for local players to compete, this time at an international level.
Snohomish County FC Technical Director of Soccer and Head Coach Dagi Kesim likes what is being discussed. "I think this is a great opportunity for both organizations. I feel like there are hidden talents in Snohomish County," he says. "We need to make sure we get players who are willing to improve and learn, not just satisfied players. My goal is to give a real opportunity to hungry and hard working talent."

SnoCo FC General Manager David Falk is pleased to see the collaboration. "I think the WWPL is a perfect fit for Team Cascadia," he says. "The Steelheads have already had goalkeeper Dorian Lair on that team, and he enjoyed the experience. Now we can give all of our guys something more to shoot for…a call-up to our regional international team."
The Steelheads will be looking for ways to work with CAFF as the off season continues. The soccer part will include making connections with Team Cascadia Head Coach James Nichols. The organizational part will be bouncing ideas around with CAFF President Aaron Johnsen. Aaron also recently became a member of the Steelheads' Founders Club.

Shanti Dope and IV of Spades, aka IV of Shanti, just BROKE GENRE STEREOTYPES with their original collab song 'SA KAHAPON'. CONSIDER OUR JAWS DROPPED!
The Shanti Dope and IV of Spades collab was something that shookt us. Ever since the collab was announced, everyone's been wondering how a rather bizarre pair-up could work.
We all know that IV of Spades concentrates more on disco, while Shanti Dope's music is more on rap/hiphop. So how could this possibly work? Well, thanks to Coke Studios with their trending OPM artist collab series, these super talented kids broke the boundaries between their genres.
And we're proud to share their masterpiece. Marvel as these young music superstars Zild Benitez, Badjao De Castro and Blaster Silonga of the iconic IV OF SPADES, and the rap prodigy himself Sean Patrick Ramos a.k.a. Shanti Dope perform their EPIC collab: 'Sa Kahapon'.
Are you as SHOOKT as we are now?
Wait 'til you see their mashup performance of 'Bata', 'Dahan-Dahan', and 'Nadarang'!
As they said on their interview, this collab is about FRIENDSHIP between people from two different worlds.
And we see that, boys. We definitely see that. From our perspective, a strong bond between Shanti Dope and IV of Spades was formed in this collab. And we know it was their recipe to their awesome performance.
Disco x Rap is seriously LIT!
OKAY IV OF SPADES X SHANTI DOPE COLLAB IS REALLY THAT 🔥🔥🔥 STREAM NOW PEOPLE I REPEAT, STREAM NOOOOW!!!!
Just as Zild Benitez and Blaster Silonga pointed out during their Coke Studios interview, their collab was purposely done to break genre stereotypes and boundaries.
And after seeing how these two different genres make up an unusually awesome piece, we want more!
Now that IV OF SPADES and Shanti Dope happened, I'm waiting for a collab of IV OF SPADES and Gloc-9.
We're sure you guys agree that that was one epic OPM collaboration! We're HYPED UP and SCREAMING! We want more of Shanti Dope and IV of Spades PLEASE! IV of Shanti, Shanti of Spades, IV of Dope, whatever you want to call it, we want more!
How 'bout you guys? Let us know what you think of this MIND BLOWING COLLAB! Shoot us a comment below, and tune in as we update you with more posts onFacebook and Twitter @udouph.

However, Meliodas collapses suddenly from his injury and they decide to stop at Dalmary Town, letting a doctor named Dana treat him with medicine. There, Diane and Elizabeth both show care for Meliodas, but display envy towards each other due to their opposites in strength and size, with Diane ultimately deciding to leave to find Ban herself. Unbeknownst to them, Dalmary Town is currently under the rule of the Weird Fangs, a unit in the Holy Knights, who are determined to kill Meliodas and Diane, and capture Elizabeth.
