text:
Amyntas III () was king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia from 393/2 to 388/7 BC and again from 387/6 to 370 BC. He was a member of the Argead dynasty through his father Arrhidaeus, grandson of Amyntas, one of the sons of Alexander I. His most famous son is Philip II, father of Alexander the Great.

Family
Polygamy was used by Macedonian kings both before and after Amyntas to secure marriage alliances and produce enough heirs to offset losses from intra-dynastic conflict. Consequently, Amyntas took two wives: Eurydice and Gygaea. He first married the former, daughter of the Lyncestian-Illyrian Sirras, by 390 BC and possibly in the aftermath of an Illyrian invasion. Through Eurydice, Amyntas had three sons, all of whom became kings of Macedonia one after the other, and a daughter: Alexander II, Perdiccas III, Philip II, and Eurynoe.

The Roman historian Justin relates several, possibly apocryphal, stories about Eurydice and Eurynoe. He claims that Eurynoe prevented her mother and her lover (unnamed, but likely Ptolemy of Aloros) from assassinating Amyntas late in his reign by revealing the plan to her father. However, Eurynoe is not referred to by name in any other source and, moreover, is unlikely to have known the details of this supposedly secret plot. According to Justin, Amyntas spared Eurydice because they shared children, but that she would later help murder Alexander and Perdiccas in order to place Ptolemy on the throne. Alexander was in fact killed by friends of Ptolemy at a festival in 368, but the extent to which Eurydice knew of or participated in this plot is opaque. Perdiccas, on the other hand, assassinated Ptolemy in 365 only to be killed in battle by the Illyrians in 359.

Amyntas most likely married Gygaea soon after marrying Eurydice, because Gygaea's children made no attempt to claim the throne before the 350s, implying that they were younger than Eurydice's children. Additionally, both Diodorus and Justin call Alexander II the eldest son of Amyntas. Through Gygaea, Amyntas had three more sons: Archelaus, Arrhidaeus, and Menelaus. Unlike Eurydice's children, none of Gygaea's sons ascended to the throne and were all killed by their half-brother Philip II.

Amyntas also adopted the Athenian general Iphicrates around 386 in recognition of his military services and marital ties with the Thracian king, Cotys I.

Lineage and accession
Amyntas became king at a troubled time for Macedonia and the Argead dynasty. The unexpected death of his great-grandfather King Alexander I in 454 BC triggered a dynastic crisis between his five sons: Perdiccas II, Menelaus, Philip, Alcetas, and Amyntas' grandfather, Amyntas. Perdiccas would eventually emerge victorious, extinguishing the line of Philip. The elder Amyntas evidently retired to his lands at some point in the conflict and no part in the exercise of power. Archelaus, Perdiccas' son, ascended to the throne around 413 and allegedly murdered Alcetas and his son, thus eliminating that family branch as well. However, Archelaus would himself be killed, possibly murdered, in 400 or 399 by his lover Craterus. His death prompted another succession crisis, resulting in five kings ruling in less than seven years, with nearly all ending violently. As Diodorus tells us, the younger Amyntas seized the throne at this point in 393/2 after assassinating the previous king Pausanias. Following his accession, Macedonia experienced no major internal political problems for the entirety of Amyntas' reign.

King of Macedon
Shortly after he became king in 393 or 392, he was driven out by the Illyrians, but in the following year, with the aid of the Thessalians, he recovered his kingdom. Medius, head of the house of the Aleuadae of Larissa, is believed to have provided aid to Amyntas in recovering his throne. The mutual relationship between the Argeadae and the Aleuadae dates to the time of Archelaus.

To shore up his country against the threat of the Illyrians, Amyntas established an alliance with the Chalcidian League led by Olynthus.  In exchange for this support, Amyntas granted them rights to Macedonian timber, which was sent back to Athens to help fortify their fleet. With money flowing into Olynthus from these exports, their power grew. In response, Amyntas sought additional allies. He established connections with Kotys, chief of the Odrysians. Kotys had already married his daughter to the Athenian general Iphicrates.  Prevented from marrying into Kotys' family, Amyntas soon adopted Iphicrates as his son.

After the King's Peace of 387 BC, Sparta was anxious to re-establish its presence in northern Greece. In 385 BC, Bardylis and his Illyrians attacked Epirus instigated and aided by Dionysius I of Syracuse, in an attempt to restore the Molossian king Alcetas I of Epirus to the throne. When Amyntas sought Spartan aid against the growing threat of Olynthus, the Spartans eagerly responded.  That Olynthus was backed by Athens and Thebes, rivals to Sparta for the control of Greece, provided them with an additional incentive to break up this growing power in the north. Amyntas thus concluded a treaty with the Spartans, who assisted him in a war against Olynthus.  First Spartan-Macedonian forces suffered two defeats but in 379 they managed to destroy Olynthus. He also entered into a league with Jason of Pherae, and assiduously cultivated the friendship of Athens. In 371 BC at a Panhellenic congress of the Lacedaemonian allies, he voted in support of the Athenians' claim and joined other Greeks in voting to help Athens to recover possession of Amphipolis.

With Olynthus defeated, Amyntas was now able to conclude a treaty with Athens and keep the timber revenues for himself. Amyntas shipped the timber to the house of the Athenian Timotheus, in Piraeus.

Amyntas died aged 50, leaving his throne to his eldest son, Alexander II.

Chasing a Legacy - Lee Munro's Quest for Speed
Aug 28, 2017 at 4:21am ET
By: Guest Contributor
Lee Munro went out on the salt flats with an Indian streamliner to chase his Uncle's legacy, and Justin was there to tell the tale.
By Justin W. Coffey
When I imagine standing on the surface of another planet – somewhere in a distant galaxy, pulled straight from Science Fiction – a sense of absolute isolation is the first thing that comes to mind. A vast expanse of nothing, in every direction. A desolate landscape stretching out in front of me, forever. The horizon filled with only a hope of seeing the end of this thing. And so, when I stepped out of the truck and onto the Bonneville Salt Flats for the first time, with the white salt and its snow-like texture beneath my feet, I couldn't help but feel like I was off of Earth, exploring some strange rock floating in space.
I wasn't on an alien planet, though. I was in Utah, just beyond the border with Nevada, on hallowed ground. Where men and women have braved everything to exceed our natural abilities to accelerate. 470 MPH! Turbine powered tubes with wheels, the pilot pushing a pedal and praying for a flat, smooth surface. Total insanity if we're being honest. And those that achieve their goal are simply motivated to surpass yet another, or perhaps carve their name into a new category. It's a strange experience, really, watching people work so hard for something so selfish.

A number, etched into a trophy or printed onto a small slip of paper, and yet carrying so much weight. So much importance. Not for motorsport, but for mankind. To prove that the limitations of friction and traction and resistance are but small hurdles in our endeavors to prove, in some weird way, that we are greater than what was given to us by nature or God or whatever you choose to believe. Because speed doesn't believe in anything other than physics, and to conquer it, one must accept the risks, swallow the pill and pull the trigger.
In 1967, at 68 years-old, Burt Munro set out to do something astonishing – to take his ancient 1920 Indian Scout and set a land speed record. His fastest official time was 190.07 mph, however his unofficial speed record (officially timed) was 205.67 mph for a flying mile. Fast. Real fast if you consider the top speed of his aging Indian Scout was a meager 55 mph when it rolled off the factory floor!

Burt is a legend at Bonneville. His name is synonymous with an unadulterated pursuit of speed. He came from afar, conquered much and was never satisfied, a lot like everyone standing on the salt the day I arrived. People from every place with engines, aerodynamic adjustments, and accouterments that would make your head spin. I was there to witness something astonishing myself – to watch Burt's great-nephew Lee Munro take a run down the salt on a lightly modified 2017 Indian Scout emblazoned with the same gold headdress that adorned his uncle's Indian.
The bike was streamlined and low, stretched out with handlebars that looked more like levers you'd see in an old semi-truck. His riding position was pulled straight from some kind of masochistic yoga manual. The motor was only slightly modified, with new heads, an air intake, and an exhaust that dumped straight out the side of the streamlined bodywork. New wheels accompanied a fuel tank absent of fuel - petrol was put beneath the seat to lower the center of gravity, I believe – as well as a narrowed triple-tree in order to accommodate the fiberglass shell that would shield Lee and help him achieve his 200-mph goal. Aside from that, this was, for all intents and purposes, a fairly stock 2017 Indian Scout running in the Modified Partial Streamlining 1350 (MPS 1350) class.

Lee's first run was down the short course at 191.28 miles per hour. I watched from the starting line, with Lee disappearing into the distance gently, the roar of his overhead cam v-twin echoing across the salt. Apparently, the salt is best in the morning, before everyone has dug their tires into it and the sun has had a chance to cook the lines into the earth. So, Lee ran but once on the first day. That night, Lee and I had the chance to get acquainted. I learned that he had moved from his family home in Invercargill, NZ to Christchurch, NZ to pursue greater business opportunities – he installs swimming pools, in case you're curious. He's a road racer, taking to the track on a Ducati 999S most recently, and clearly not afraid of going fast. Most importantly, and what really stood out to me, is he's just like you and me. An average Joe, if you will. Hard working, with a wife and small child at home, just looking for a fix like so many of us. To go fast and, in this case, to honor his great uncle. He's a man that sort of defines the stubborn, DIY attitude that is Land Speed Racing.
At the end of the week, Lee only managed two timed runs. The aforementioned run down the short course, and a second run the next day down the long, rather bumpy long course where he posted a time of 186.415 mph. This wasn't about setting records, though. This was about showing people that Indian is serious about the future while also keeping their feet firmly planted in the past. That records are meant to be broken, but so are boundaries, rules, and reputations. I walked away with a new-found sense of respect for the engineers, the blood and the sweat and the tears people put into those little pieces of paper: their time slips. Because it's not just a number, it's a record. And if you're out to break one, you better be prepared to pay the price.

Q: Assign the tree species most representitive of a specific size class I am replicating another study in which trees were assigned to a class based on diameter. The most representative species of each class was identified for each plot sampled.
The classes are sapling (2.5-8 cm), pole (>8-18 cm), mature (>18-28 cm) and large (>28cm).
For our study, we recorded the species and diameter at breast height (dbh) for every tree > 1.5m in height and >1.8 cm dbh within a 100m2 circular plot. There were 100+ circular plots sampled.
We also visually estimated and recorded which species were most representative of each class to determine if a visual estimation was an acceptable surrogate for diameter derived classification.
I would like to use the tree species and diameter data we sampled to assign the most representative species in each diameter class for each plot. In addition to replicating the previous study, I would like to compare the species assigned based on the diameter distributions to the visual assignments we estimated in the field.
My question: What is the best method for identifying the most represented member of each class? I am currently considering selecting the species for each class either by stem density (a count of each species in each class) or by volume (basal area).
Is one of these methods (density vs basal area) generally preferred or more accepted? Is there a different method I should use?
I have also posted a R specific question with example data regarding how to accomplish the calculation here...

In a week we will begin our first real exhibition here in Mexico and the third joint show we've had together. We've busied ourselves over the past month with putting together all the promotional materials … postcards, posters, an article for the Atencion as well as an ad. We found a caterer to pour the wine and refrescas we've ordered to be delivered to the gallery from one of the local liquor stores, and we attached labels to our postcards with translations of their copy so that their message is appropriately bilingual. Did I mention we've also been painting since we got here in May?
It's a different story doing the art thing on a full time basis. The show is just one of several balls we have in the air right now. We're in the midst of applying to about 8 different art fairs in Florida for the months of February and March 2006. That has required us to make slides for most of our new paintings as well as slides and duplicates of our tent and displays of our art. Because we'd never taken slides of the tent with everything displayed, it meant that we had to put up the tent and some of our art work to take slides of both Dave's and my work separately when we were in McAllen in late August. Texas summer heat made for an early morning start on the task and bucking a not-so-gentle breeze that started up soon after we got things in place. Our to-do lists have expanded and shrunk depending on what next big project has loomed on the horizon.
I don't mind juggling multiple "balls." All my past professional life has served me well in that regard. One learns to simultaneously manage a dazzling array of tasks as a nurse, that is if you're to stay effective. But ferreting out the shows, designing promotional strategies, seeking grant funding all must happen alongside the act of inspiration, the thing that makes and keeps us doing the art in the first place.
I admitted to Dave not so long ago that I had come to realize I hadn't anticipated that part of being an artist full time. The part that requires that in spite of show rejections, gallery rejections, grant rejections, and low sales I still need to find inspiration. Painting is a breeze when things are coming your way. All that positive feedback by way of sales, acceptance into shows, and other accolades serves as a magical lubricant to the creative juices. I've not had the happy experience of this phenomena regularly, but the sporadic sales and elation of getting into a show have always tantalized me with their heady possibilities. But when "no" is the more common phrase one hears it's easy to get caught up in the questions that buzz around your brain attacking your intensions, your efforts, and finally the work itself. Is it good enough? Will it ever be? Am I up to this? Do I have what it takes?
Being successful as an artist is usually equated with regular sales and consistent acceptance into shows, and most times gallery representation on top of all that. While there may still be rejections from time to time they are fewer and less frequent. For now we're still struggling to achieve that height. So until then, we keep buggering on, as Churchill and his fellow Englishman are famous for saying. Keeping up the good fight with faith that what we have is more than enough, and that with effort we'll finally get to that happy place of recognition and all that it entails.


JOSE MOURINHO is now the clear favourite to be the first Premier League manager sacked this season.
Manchester United have endured their worst start to a Premier League season ever.
The Red Devils drew to Wolves last weekend and followed that up with a defeat to West Ham on Saturday.
Mourinho's men are also out of the EFL Cup and tensions among the squad are riding high.
Reports emerged on Saturday that United are looking to replace the boss - although the club denied those claims.
Nevertheless, the bookies have cut their prices on Mourinho being the first to leave yet again, following the 3-1 loss to West Ham.
Mourinho is now 11/10 with Unibet to lose his job.
The odds have shortened as Manchester United's poor results are coupled with an upturn in form at other sides.
West Ham's Manuel Pellegrini was the favourite to lose his job four games into the campaign but he is now seemingly safe at 20/1 to be the first man axed.
Neil Warnock's is now 6/1 to be let go by Cardiff. Another manager under increasing pressure is Southampton's Mark Hughes after they lost 2-0 at Wolves on Saturday.
However, it appears so likely that Jose Mourinho will get the chop first that Hughes - whose side sit 15th in the table - is only 5/1 to leave before the Portuguese.
Next up for United is a home tie with Valencia in the Champions League on Tuesday, before they host Newcastle the following Saturday.
They then play Chelsea and Juventus before the October international break.

ALLISTON, ON, Jan. 9, 2017 – Honda of Canada Mfg. (HCM), announced today that it will invest $492 million over the next three years to allow the company to modernize its Ontario manufacturing facilities and significantly improve its manufacturing carbon footprint, which is part of Honda's global initiatives. The new investment brings Honda's total Canadian facilities investment to over $4.7 billion. In 1986, Honda became the first Japanese auto maker to build a manufacturing facility in Canada.
Honda Canada is partnering with the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario on this program. Both the federal and Ontario governments will provide conditional grants up to $41.8 million each, representing 17 per cent of Honda Canada's investment.
"Thank you to both the federal and Ontario governments for creating an environment which will allow us to further modernize our manufacturing facilities and make innovative upgrades possible, including building a state-of-the-art paint shop which will reduce the GHG emissions from our paint process by 44%, further reducing our manufacturing carbon footprint in Canada," said Jerry Chenkin, President and CEO, Honda Canada Inc. "As a result of these upgrades, HCM will continue to provide thousands of well-paying, high quality jobs in Alliston and throughout Canada."
Honda of Canada Mfg. has the capacity to produce 400,000 Civic and CR-V models annually for the Canadian and North America markets, as well as for export. Of which, approximately 100,000 Canadian-built Civic and CR-V units are sold on an annual basis in Canada. HCM also produces 260,000 four-cylinder engines annually.

Tamar Braxton Speaks Out on Accusations Vince Had a Secret Child With a White Woman
The rumors are all over social media.
By Evelyn Diaz
(Photo: Larry French/BET/Getty Images for BET)
Tamar Braxton and Vincent Herbert are at the center of infidelity drama once again after a woman came forward claiming to be the mother to Herbet's child. Tamar opted not to stay quiet this time, though, and instead aired her thoughts on Instagram (in a post she since deleted).
"Let me be CRYSTAL clear before this untrue story gets out of hand," the reality star began. "If this was.. she would be MINE as well.. she would be all over MY instagram, media outlets, pictures, interviews etc." She continued, "I'm not selfish and hateful that I would only recognize the child he was with ME!! I would NEVER hide tha tpart of my husband because he is my husband not my property and i love EVERY part of him!!!"
Braxton went on, "Now back to this Instagram baby's mother... GET YOUR LIFE!!" She even joked about the situation, saying, "So please go to Maury and get your DNA caus (in Maury's voice) in the case of the instagram baby mama...you...are...NOT the father!! (Cut to) you a** running off the stage falling on the couch crying nooooooo get the cameras out of my face."
See what other drama Braxton has been dealing with on The Wendy Williams Show, above.

and Tamar's response:
Twitter is loving the drama:
But some are not happy that a child is caught in the middle:

From the 1970s on, "welfare" and "welfare state" have become words alluding to policies and institutions placed under harsh criticism and even derision. The tensions and utopias of the '70s seemed to indicate the inadequacy of a reformist policy careful to correct and ameliorate the functioning of the primary institutions, while the western world's experience with welfare policy showed the insufficiency, if not the perversity, of every attempt to define the dimensions of a well-being that could aspire to intersect broad social groups and territories in transparent ways. Above all, the deterministic "banalization" to which much of planning practice naively referred in the preceding decades was rightfully criticized. Both criticisms had quite important, and perhaps unwanted, effects. Reformist policy and the planning discipline suddenly found themselves devoid of a recognizable statute if not of the broad legitimization that they enjoyed, and which partly associated the two, during the prior decades.
Notwithstanding this, and in different, and more articulated and sophisticated, terms the discussion of welfare and its new dimensions continues; and the old determinism, albeit in less banal and reductive forms, has not completely abandoned urban and territorial policy. Perhaps one positive effect has been to save urbanists from the self-referential deviation that characterized many projects in western cities at that time. The idea that planning practices find their main source of legitimization in the search for better conditions for a great part of society; the idea that planning is an important part of biopolitics, as a set of actions with evident and controllable consequences for the life of a population; or the idea that population is a term inseparable from territory, and that every policy must take into account the spatial dimension cannot be ascribed to banal environmental determinism.
Two main directions seem to me to have kept attention alive regarding the concrete dimensions of individual and collective wellbeing, also proposing them as dimensions of political action and, for the most part, of urban policy. The first investigated everyday experience and the story of the present, while the second explored processes of society's (and the territories of the western world) progressive democratization.
• The first course involved sociologists, ethnologists, anthropologists along with photographers, directors, writers and, naturally, urbanists. It produced a great number of case studies which, by closely observing the changes which came about in society, and in western and European territories, radically modified the ways in which individual and collective demand on the city and territory are explored and conceptualized today.
Proposing a great number of images and continually running the risk of "aestheticizing" the present, this research showed how individual and collective well-being is located at a crossroads of practices and forms of using time and space which are much more variegated, articulated and complex than the ones which characterized industrial society and the city for the entire first half of the twentieth century. Those dealing with welfare policy were not only driven to lengthen the list of the fields of intervention, to conceive of new, and more numerous, infrastructures and appropriate places (along with their increased performance) but also to consider how the tremendous fragmentation of contemporary society makes it difficult, if not impossible, to define dimensions of welfare once and for all within a single norm that is valid for every territory and population. They acknowledged how the very idea of welfare pervades every aspect of individual and collective life - from economic activity to consumption to leisure; how the same idea is understood differently by different generational, cultural, ethnic and local groups; and how the different ideas of welfare cultivated by the different groups can conflict among themselves. The studies compiled by Pierre Bourdieu in La misère du monde and the fieldwork conducted by every reflective planner over the last decades are testimonies to this thinking.
• The second direction has received much less attention even if everyone is convinced, beyond the associations of events in different countries and territories, that the second half of the twentieth century corresponded to a progressive democratization of western society - an often radical modification of the map of shared values with a progressive loss of traditional positional values - here the terms must be interpreted along the lines of R. Harrod and F. Hirsch. To cite just a couple of examples - the decrease in the value of a college degree on the one hand and on the other of a location within a city; this decrease also concerns the civic value attributed to the architecture of buildings, places, cities.
The two movements to which I have referred synthetically (but certainly not the only ones regarding contemporary society and territory) have questioned the idea that we had (and to which we had granted institutional status) of the general, collective and public interest, where the three terms are not synonymous, and concern, each and every time, different aspects and parts of society. By questioning these terms, we have shaken the foundations of the institutional building of the modern State and created the need for its urgent reform - including ways of conducting planning, ways of guiding the transformation and modification of the city and territory - the material conditions within which the aspirations and images of concrete individual and collective wellbeing are constructed.
In many countries, the issue is faced in reductive ways: moving the line of demarcation between the public and private sectors with a strong push towards the privatization of services and infrastructure that modernity and the welfare state entrusted to the public sector which, in many cases, demonstrated to be less and less efficient; diffidence regarding the collective dimensions of society at large, or parts of it; agitating all kinds of metropolitan fears in gross or instrumental ways; identifying general interests with the attainment of aggregate positions defined eminently in terms of economic targets. These are the passages, in Foucault's words, from a "disciplinary society" - well-represented by modern planning - to a "society of control" - well represented by contemporary urban policy. Doubts cannot be nourished regarding the scope of these policies in contexts where someone might even think of returning to a "society of sovereignty": accentuating mechanisms of selection/exclusion, redefining social hierarchy, returning the importance of old and new positional values
The main strategy of the disciplinary society was, in Deleuze's words, "to concentrate; to distribute in space; to order in time; to compose" - like in the modern city - "a productive force within the dimension of space-time whose effect will be greater than the sum of its component forces." These objectives, for example, were sought by modern planning through its discursive organization that ever more resembled the "hard" sciences, seeking to legitimize policies of identification, separation and distancing/approaching usually indicated synthetically by the term "zoning." The crisis in the welfare state was the crisis in all places of "enclosure" - the family, the school, the barracks, the hospital, the factory, the prison and in politics, including those regarding the city, based on spatial division and temporal ordering.
The main strategy of the society of control is, instead, modulation, the continual construction of metastable situations, the request for flexibility and permanent adaptation, the refusal of any idea of plan or program in the medium and long term as a useless restraint. The policies of control respond to social demand with a temporary, and open, list of projects and interventions characterized by important communicative investment and not with programs and actions logically connected in space and time and with their evaluation criteria. Whoever is familiar with today's EU urban policies and their differences cannot help but recognize their frequent connotations in these terms. The main "tale" of the disciplinary society ended with the recovery and emancipation of those less favored by history, by the market and by luck, with increasing diffusion of citizenship rights. The story of the society of control begins with the multiplication of astounding images representing the acceleration of technical progress, the state of unpredictability and uncertainty which this engenders, the generation of fears and the need for security that can lead to renouncing what was once considered a firm civil right.
City and territory are fields in which this passage is constructed and produced. Certainly, changes in the job market or in important juridical and institutional orders attract greater attention, but city and territory are places where individuals and social groups silently work towards the redefinition of their own positive idea of welfare and their own maps of values. It is worth giving them more attention.
The immense sprawl of single, two-family and three-family homes, isolated or in rows, with small gardens covering large part of a continent is not so much the expression of a bourgeois utopia for example as much as, in many cases, the search for predictable welfare that is safe and stable. It focuses on values that are different from those historically sought by the majority of the population in the industrial city. Even the localism of the last decades, in its concrete and daily manifestations, the search for teachers, doctors, nurses, bank directors, clerks and managers known because they come from the same local, cultural and social context must be ascribed to this search. It is an attempt to subtract themselves from the strategies, mechanisms and risks of the society of control - at least in part or at least regarding one's own emotional and economic life. Part of the European population has countered the alienation and anonymity of these mechanisms with the reinforcement of interpersonal relationships based on reciprocal knowledge and trust, and is thus producing a city that is, in some parts, radically different from the modern one
Analogous reflections can be formulated for other parts of the city and territory. They might convince us to return to the construction of policies in real terms rather than exclusively monetary ones, patiently reconstructing - more concretely - the motivations and consensuses which are pushed today and tend to crystallize on imaginary terrain. Urban policy, with its indispensable adhesion to the physicality of the city and territory, can help us recover these dimensions. For this very reason, they should be placed closer to the center of attention of every seriously reformist policy.

We all know that when you're thinking of doing a ski season to qualify as an instructor or to further your existing qualifications there can be almost too many decisions to make. Which resorts are you going to look at? Which company offers the best course for your needs? What accommodation options are available? What is the price of the course? Is there a possibility of part time work while you train, or working after you've qualified?
In fact, there's so many different resorts and courses to choose from, so many that sometimes the decision can be a little overwhelming!
One of the first questions you will find yourself asking, if only to narrow down your choices, are which resort you want to go to. Choosing a resort is almost as important as choosing your course. It will be your home for the winter season, usually 5 months, and the resort you are in can define the experience you have just as much as your course can.
As this time of year can be decision time for many people looking at how they are going to spend their Gap year or career break, or simply for winter addicts out there looking for their next adventure, we thought we'd give you a helping hand and explain why we think Verbier should make it right to the top of your resort shortlist.
Luckily almost everyone working in the ski industry, and working a ski season in a resort, has made the same decision at some stage, so we've got plenty of first-hand experience of making this decision ourselves!
Altitude Futures are based solely in Verbier, quite simply because we love it here, and we think it's the best resort around. As a result, not only do we know it inside out, which means we have unparalleled knowledge of the terrain, conditions, nightlife and pretty much everything else, but we also want everyone who comes here to love it too!
Unfortunately, it's a sign of the times that this has to be one of the main considerations when choosing resorts nowadays. It is a little disputed fact that winter seasons are starting later and ending earlier, with less guaranteed snowfall than twenty or thirty years ago, and those of us who are a fan of our European winters are going to have to make sure we are making a concerted effort to protect the environment and encourage others to do the same.
Luckily, Verbier is high, with Mont Fort, the highest accessible run, topping out at 3330m. The resort itself sits at 1500m, meaning that all but the beginning and last few weeks of the season skiing back to resort is possible, if not pretty great, with some awesome tree runs running through this section. The lift operator Televerbier has snow-cannons covering many of the popular runs for times when snow is thin on the ground, and within the region it is one of the best resorts around for snow, with local people more often than not travelling to Verbier over other resorts.
Home to the final of the Freeride World Tour each year, hosted on the infamous Bec de Rosses, Verbier is a mecca for freeride skiers, with one of its mountains, Mont Gele, having a lift solely for the purpose of free-ride skiing. When it snows and conditions are right, the mountain is full of experienced freeriders hiking up to some of the legendary powder runs in the area, such as Rock Garden, Barry's Bowl, Stairway to Heaven and the Greppon Blanc, to name but a few. There's also plenty for those just getting into powder skiing for the first time, with gentler areas offering accessible off-piste and itinerary runs which are avalanche controlled but still offer the thrill of a big powder day for those without the mountain experience or avalanche equipment.
It's big, but not too big!
A ski resort needs to not be so big that you have to spend hours sitting on a bus to get to the lifts, and so you always see a friendly face on the slopes or for an apres ski beer or two. But you also want it to offer enough terrain that you love skiing there day after day, and year after year, not be left wishing you had more to explore. With over 400km of pistes, Verbier has it all – the friendly ski town feel with a reputation for world-class skiing.
One that can be particularly high on the list, the nightlife never really fails to disappoint. From happy hour at the Pub Mont Fort, every ski instructors favourite after-training or work hangout, down to the Farinet Apres Ski for live music until 9pm, which can get pretty rowdy on big nights, the atmosphere is always buzzing. Seasonairre prices in the Pub, Loft and TBar make normal hefty bar tabs similar to UK prices especially for beer and wine, and if you make it through to the early hours there's still plenty of choice with clubs opening until 4am most nights.
And we're not just talking about Richard Branson, the British Royal Family, Madonna and the whole host of celebrities that love to frequent Verbier, we mean everyone that comes here from tourists to those who came for one season and are still here 10 years later! Verbier isn't just a 'one season' kind of resorts like a lot of places can feel, and you feel at home here whether you're young or wishing you were a bit younger than you are!
If you want to chat to any of our team regarding your decision to choose Verbier and Altitude Futures then let us know! We're happy to share our experiences and help you make the best decision for you.

Q: Natural numbers objects in topoi: Recursion in a parameter I am currently trying to prove an exercise from Sheaves in Geometry and Logic: A First Introduction to Topos Theory by Mac Lane and Moerdijk about natural numbers objects.
First, we have the following definition:

Definition. A natural numbers object in a topos $\mathcal E$ is an object $N$ with arrows
  $$
1\overset 0 \longrightarrow N \overset s \longrightarrow N
$$
  such that for any object $X$ of $\mathcal E$ with arrows $x$ and $f$, as below, there is a unique arrow $h$ which makes the following diagram commute:
  $$
\begin{array}{cclcl}
1 & \overset 0 \longrightarrow & N & \overset s \longrightarrow & N \\
|| & & \downarrow h & & \downarrow h \\
1 & \underset x \longrightarrow & X & \underset f \longrightarrow & X.
\end{array}
$$

Next, the exercise in question is as follows:

Exercise. Let $N$, with arrows $0:1\to N$ and $s:N\to N$, be a natural numbers object in a topos $\mathcal E$.
  Prove that the following form of recursion "in a parameter":
  for objects $X$ and $Y$ of $\mathcal E$ and maps $g:X\to Y$ and $h:Y\times X\to Y$, there is a unique $f:N\times X\to Y$ such that the following diagrams commute:
  $$
\begin{array}{ccccclcc}
\phantom{\cong}1\times X & \overset{0\times\mathrm{id}}\longrightarrow & N\times X\phantom{f}
& &
\phantom{(f,\pi_2)}N\times X & \overset{s\times\mathrm{id}}\longrightarrow & N\times X
\\
\cong\downarrow & & \downarrow f && (f,\pi_2)\downarrow && \downarrow f
\\
\phantom{\cong}X & \underset g \longrightarrow & Y \phantom{f!}
&& \phantom{(f,\pi_2)}Y\times X & \underset h \longrightarrow & Y. \phantom{f}
\end{array}
$$
  [In $\mathbf{Sets}$, this would mean that $f$ is the function defined by $f(0,x)=g(x)$, $f(n+1,x)=h(f(n,x),x)$.]

Now, the proof is very straightforward in $\mathbf{Sets}$, but I can't figure it out for a general topos. It seems like there should be some sort of exponential/adjunction argument, but I'm not getting it. I hope I'm not missing anything obvious!
I'm looking forward to peoples' responses. Thanks in advance!

Edit (2013-03-24): For completeness, I decided to include my proof of the exercise that works in $\mathbf{Sets}$.
Proof.
Let $N$ be a natural numbers object in $\mathbf{Sets}$ (with the necessary functions $0:1\to N$ and $s:N\to N$), let $X$ and $Y$ be sets, and let
$$
g: X \to Y
\qquad\text{and}\qquad
h : Y \times X \to Y
$$
be functions.
We wish to show that there exists a unique function $f:N\times X\to Y$ such that
$$
f(0,x) = g(x)
\qquad\text{and}\qquad
f(n+1,x) = h(f(n,x),x)
$$
for all $n\in N$ and $x\in X$.
Given $x\in X$, define $h_x:Y\to Y$ by $h_x(y)=h(y,x)$ (this implicitly uses the
$$
\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathbf{Sets}}(Y\times X,Y)
\cong
\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathbf{Sets}}(X, Y^Y)
$$
adjunction).
Then for each $x\in X$ we have a diagram
$$
1 \overset{g(x)} \longrightarrow Y \overset{h_x} \longrightarrow Y
$$
which induces a unique arrow $f_x:N\to Y$ such that the following diagram commutes:
$$
\begin{array}{cclcl}
1 & \overset 0 \longrightarrow & N & \overset s \longrightarrow & N \\
|| & & \downarrow f_x & & \downarrow f_x \\
1 & \underset{g(x)} \longrightarrow & Y & \underset {h_x} \longrightarrow & Y.
\end{array}
$$
Then we define $f:N\times X\to Y$ by $f(n,x)=f_x(n)$, and it is easy to see that this $f$ satisfies the desired properties and is unique.
This is the proof that I am struggling to generalize.
Maybe this is the wrong approach altogether for a general proof, although I feel like it should generalize.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Here is an elementary proof of the existence part.
Let $\varepsilon$ denote the evaluation morphism and $\Lambda(x)$ the exponential transpose of $x$.
Given your $g$ and $h$ let $i$ be the canonical isomorphism from $1\times X \to X$ and define two morphisms $u = \Lambda(i ; g) : 1 \to Y^X$ and $v = \Lambda\left(\langle\varepsilon, \pi_2\rangle ; h\right) : Y^X \to Y^X$. Then there exists a unique $\hat{f} : N \to Y^X$ such that $0 ; \hat{f} = u$ and $s ; \hat{f} = \hat{f} ; v$. Define $f = \hat{f} \times id ; \varepsilon : N\times X \to Y$. Computing a bit we get
\begin{align*}
s\times id ; f &= (s ; \hat{f}) \times id ; \varepsilon = (\hat{f} ; v) \times id ; \varepsilon\\
&= (\hat{f}\times id) ; \left(\Lambda\left(\langle\varepsilon, \pi_2\rangle ; h\right)\times id\right) ; \varepsilon\\
&=(\hat{f}\times id) ; \langle \varepsilon, \pi_2\rangle ; h\\
&= \langle f, \pi_2\rangle ; h
\end{align*}
and
\begin{align*}
0\times id ; f = (0 ; \hat{f}) \times id ; \varepsilon = \Lambda(i ; g) \times id ; \varepsilon = i ; g
\end{align*}
This shows the existence of $f$. Uniqueness is straightforward as any such $f$ induces an $\hat{f}$ satisfying the required two equations by setting $\hat{f} = \Lambda(f)$. This assignment is easily seen, using the universal property of exponentials, to be a bijection.
Notice that you don't really need a topos, you only need a cartesian closed category to carry out the argument.
In Set, this reduces to defining $u$ and $v$ point-wise as
\begin{align*}
  u(\star)(x) &= g(x)\\
  v(\phi)(x) &= h(\phi(x), x)
\end{align*}
where $1 = \{\star\}$.

A: Your struggles, I think, are that the definition of a NNO is given externally; but a direct translation of your proof requires an internal version in the form of a map $r:Y \times Y^Y \to Y^N$ that takes a "generalized element" of $Y$ and a "generalized map" from $Y$ to $Y$ and produces a "generalized map" $N \to Y$.
Set theoretically, this map would be given by
$$ r(y,h)(n) = k^{(n)}(y) $$
where $k^{(n)}$ is the $n$-fold iterate of $k$.
If we have this map $r$, then your argument is constructing the map $X \to Y \times Y^Y \to Y^N$, which you transpose to get $f$. (phrase things in terms of generalized elements if you like)
In the interest of preserving the specific argument you wish to make, let's see if we can construct $r$.
There are lots of ways we can rewrite things with natural isomorphisms. This one seems most promising to me:
$$ \hom(Y \times Y^Y, Y^N)
\cong \hom(N \times Y \times Y^Y, Y)
\cong \hom(N, Y^{Y \times Y^Y}) $$
Set theoretically, $r$ would correspond to the map
$$ n \mapsto \left( (y,k) \mapsto k^{(n)}(y) \right) $$
This one is promising, because it looks like I can define this one by recursion! If I attach $k$ to the output so that I can "remember" it, I can recursively define a function $s_n$ by:

*

*$s_0(y,k) = (y,k)$

*$s_{n+1}(y,k) = (k(y), k)$

So we set up the corresponding diagram
$$1 \to (Y \times Y^Y)^{Y \times Y^Y} \to (Y \times Y^Y)^{Y \times Y^Y}$$
Obtain
$$N \to (Y \times Y^Y)^{Y \times Y^Y} $$
Then convert to
$$ N \times Y \times Y^Y \to Y \times Y^Y \to Y $$
(the last map is projection, not evaluation).
If there's any justice in the world, the transpose of this is $r : Y \times Y^Y \to Y^N$. I'm too exhausted (and rusty) by this point to verify it all works out.

With that said, attacking the problem from scratch I probably would have curried differently: try to define a function $N \to Y^X$. Although it's plausible I would have wound up making a similar argument as to the one above.


When it comes to washing my face, I have one rule: Keep it simple. I'm not sure if that's because my mom's idea of a beauty routine growing up was just using a bar of soap — and no moisturizer, gasp — or because I've had extra sensitive skin my entire life. (I first got spots of eczema when I was like eight years old.) And with the proliferation of all kinds of waters, foams, washes, and wipes made to clean our faces, I've tried them all in the name of keeping my easily inflamed, irritated skin under control. What makes it even more difficult is the four-season climate we have here in New York City, where the constantly changing weather leaves my skin in a constant state of confusion. Some days it's greasy and I'm reaching for every single mattifying product, powder, or potion in sight, while other days my face feels so tight and dry I could bathe in hyaluronic acid and it still wouldn't be comforting enough. However, I've finally found a a small capsule collection — at the drugstore, no less — that can take care of my complexion all year long, regardless of the issue.
Meet the Yes To Cotton family, joining other lines like the charcoal-infused, acne-fighting Yes To Tomatoes line or the antioxidant-packed Yes To Grapefruit collection. But instead of focusing on brightening or purifying, the Yes To Cotton range of skincare products are straight-up gentle, nourishing and perfect for allergy-prone skin like my own. The star of the range, though, without question, are the Yes To Cotton Comforting Facial Wipes.
Because my skin is so sensitive, a lot of the wipes on the market — and if you guys have trekked any drugstore aisle recently, you know there's no shortage of face wipes — tend to have harsh ingredients or are differently textured (like studded with exfoliating dots, per se) to really get after the skin. However, the Yes To Cotton Comforting Cleansing Facial Wipes have 98 percent natural ingredients and the actual wipe feels a lot more like silk than well, paper. Despite its cloud-like texture, I've found them to be at least as effective at removing grime, makeup, and everything else I come in contact with (like cat hair) as any other wipe out there.
And true to the line's name, the all-star ingredient in this range is cotton — or more specifically, cottonseed oil, which protects and softens skin and is a particularly versatile oil, which is why it works so well for those of us with a slew of different skin issues. Specifically, cottonseed oil is known to have vitamin E, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, which are all anti-inflammatory, helping to soothe skin and calm redness. What these wipes don't have are harsh surfactants (foamy soap agents found in many facial cleansers), and instead, the cottonseed oil does the heavy lifting, leaving your face and neck hydrated and protected from environmental and allergenic skin stressors. Honestly, after just one wipe, I not only was way cleaner, but I also forgot to bust out the moisturizer ASAP — something I never forget. These wipes are a true Drugstore Diamond — after all, it's just $6 for a pack of 25 of them.
Also in the Yes To Cotton range are Eye Makeup Remover pads (great for days when you've put on a few too many coats of mascara), a does-it-all Micellar Water that deserves its own Drugstore Diamond award, an ultra lightweight-but-comforting facial moisturizer, and when you're in need of a bit of extra TLC, a single-use paper mask. But the wipes are the real life-changers. Never has getting clean felt so smooth.

US Labor Department's OSHA cites Charter Oak Health Center in Hartford for failing to effectively safeguard employees against tuberculosis

US Labor Department's OSHA cites Charter Oak Health Center in Hartford
for failing to effectively safeguard employees against tuberculosis
HARTFORD, Conn. – The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Charter Oak Health Center Inc. in Hartford for three alleged serious violations of workplace health standards involving inadequate safeguards for employees exposed to tuberculosis and other infectious diseases. OSHA's Hartford Area Office opened an inspection in February after receiving a complaint that employees had been exposed to a patient with tuberculosis and that the center's management failed to take appropriate action to protect workers. Proposed fines total $17,600.
The violations include the center's failure to have a system in place that promptly identifies, masks and isolates patients with suspected tuberculosis; and its failure to provide workers who had face-to-face contact with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis patients with training on the disease and a respiratory protection program. In addition, the center lacked a hazard communication program and hazardous chemical training. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
"Employees were needlessly exposed to a potentially contagious infection due to the lack of basic protective measures that should have been in place," said Robert Kowalski, OSHA's acting area director in Hartford. "An effective infectious control program would have established procedures and provided training and protective equipment to workers to minimize their exposure to tuberculosis and other infectious diseases."
Detailed information on protecting workers against tuberculosis is available online at http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/tuberculosis/index.html.
Charter Oak Health Center Inc. has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply, meet with OSHA's area director or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742) or the agency's Hartford office at 860-240-3152.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance. For more information, visit http://www.osha.gov.

Interesting sights and a multitude of ways to spend a perfect holiday!
Black Forest Nature Park (mid-/north part) and namely the region around the city of Calw offer a wide variety of possibilities to spend your holiday, from sporting or cultural activities to perfect relaxation or just having fun and enjoying yourself. The region is especially interesting for those who love hiking or cycling!
In case you prefer short hikes, you'll find a lot of well-marked trails nearby. For excursions by car or motorbike we can provide you with "roadbooks". If you like cycling, you can lend bikes from us (also two ebikes) and we'll get you maps of the area.
Among the many attractive destinations for excursions, "Zavelstein Castle" has to be recommended, especially during spring, when countless crocus flowers in the surrounding meadows are in full bloom. Another famous place to visit is the historical city of Calw, birthplace of world-famous writer and novelist Hermann-Hesse, with its historic market square and decorative half-timber houses. Try an excursion to the ancient monastery ruin of Calw-Hirsau, venue and setting for the "Klosterspiele", an annual open-air festival of music and theatre ( https://klostersommer.de ). Other destinations include the romantic Roetelbach valley (the trail leading down to Kentheim with its cute little church, more than a thousand years old), or through the nearby woods, around the "Zigeunerberg" to a compound for wild hogs, as well as the nature reserve of Weckenhardt.
Only recently a new premium class hiking trail for savourers (Geniesserpfad) has been established. Enjoy this very well-marked trail which leads through lush forests and meadows and along whispering creeks to great view points.
And finally, we recommend the romantic Monbach gorge, a well-known favourite for hikers.
We offer guided nordic-walking tours and will provide you with equipment if required.
Whether mountain or road bike - Black Forest offers a lot of possibilities for both kinds. On cycling routes along the rivers or through the woods you'll always find interesting view points or an inviting bench for a well-deserved rest. The cycle route along the river Nagold, from the city of Nagold to Pforzheim and back on the cycle route along the river Enz are very rewarding day trips.
For the ambitious sporting biker we recommend the Bad Wildbad Bikepark with its World Cup downhill track.
Bikes can be rented here for 5 Euros per day and now NEW also ebikes for 20 Euros a day.
For families with children we recommend the "Panoramabad" in Freudenstadt which offers various pools, a slide, a diving platform as well as sauna and gastronomic facilities.
The lake of "Nagoldtalsperre" (a dammed-up river) is a great place for a swim in beautiful nature and for getting your holiday tan.
In case "great heights" make you dizzy, we instead recommend a hike to the "Wildsee" moor of Kaltenbronn (via Gruenhuette) and back to Bad Wildbad by bus.
Kaltenbronn The famous hike to the moor (948 m above sea level)! Enjoy the grand view from Hohloh-Tower.
Day trip to Schwarzwaldhochstraße via Freudenstadt, Ruhestein, incl. possible hikes to Darmstaedter Huette, Seekopf (1054m), Mummelsee, Hornisgrinde (1164m), Kniebis (938m), Schliffkopf (1004m), and perhaps an attractive side trip to Sasbachwalden.
Allerheiligen historic site with ruined monastery and famous water cascadess.
Schwarzenbachtalsperre Have a swim or take a paddle boat trip on the lake of the dammed Schwarzenbach creek.
For your most beautiful time of the year we wish you fair weather, many sunny days and lots of relaxation and recreation.
For those who love a good meal we're doing our much-famed barbecue evenings frequently throughout summer. Or how about a short hiking trail with a testing of local spirits afterwards in a nearby distillery? Just ask us about your special requests and arrangements.

Discussion in 'Trying To Conceive' started by susan_1981, Oct 4, 2008.
I bought some OPKs on Ebay. My period finished on Thursday and I just thought I'd try one now and it came up with a pink line (it's quite visible). I'm sure I can't be ovulating yet can I? Could it be a false positive?
I have these too! I often get a pale pink line but leading up to ov it gradually gets darker, to as dark as the control line and then goes back to faint again. Thats how it works for me anyway hope that helps.


Imagine you're walking through the forest and come to a fork in the path. To the left is a sign that reads Restless. A trip down this path is a series of small choices that harden a heart. One step at a time, you become unresponsive to God when He speaks to you.
The other sign reads Rest. What's beautiful about this path is that, from the very first step, We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end (Hebrews 3:14). The phrase have come means we choose once to follow Christ, and the rest of our future reaps the benefits of this choice.
Now that small word if can trip some people up, making them think their salvation is conditional. At first glance, it sounds as though we only share in Christ if we are strong enough to hold on. But Scripture doesn't teach self-perseverance, only Spirit-perseverance. So if is a word of demonstration (this word is elsewhere translated since). We know we are in Christ as evidenced by the Spirit's perseverance. Our lives are firmly rooted as we rest in Christ.
Rest or restless? We must choose; there is no path-straddling.
Which path do you walk? Do you share in Christ's rest, knowing the mystical union believers have with Jesus? In Him, we share in birth, death, and resurrection. We experience a magnificent transformation, becoming completely different. We are made new and are indwelled by the Spirit of God.
These are the new promises of rest given to us by God. But first we must choose.
Giver of Rest, I thank You that You've done all the work necessary to rescue me. Thank You for providing the strength I need to persevere. May I say yes to Your rest and allow You to carry me to the end. Amen.
