Chesterton's Winter Rescue Review and Interview with Dean Coe Plus the Story Behind the Story
By: Molly
Chesterton's Winter Rescue is written by Dean Coe and Illustrated by Sasha Rudyakov and Robyn Whaples. Dean lives in Sandwich, MA and is a nature enthusiast. Both illustrators are college students and Sandwich natives. Chesterton's Winter Rescue is the fourth of the Chesterton stories. It is the story of a weasel who one cold winter helps to save two puffins who have been blown inland by a Nor'easter. I really enjoyed the rich descriptive language and how the illustrations complement this rich language. The story also has lots of information about weasels, puffins, and other Cape Cod creatures intertwined in it. This book would be great for classroom use as well; enhanced by back pages where there are facts about the creatures in the book, a glossary, and questions that really get kids thinking. The book ends "How can YOU help wildlife this winter?". My son's (3 years old) favorite part was when the otter caught the fish for the puffins and my daughter's (5 years old) was when the puffins eat the fish. The Chesterton books can be ordered online athttps://deancoebooks.com/books/ or bought at some local shops including Titcombs Book Store.
Interview with Dean Coe:
Me: When did you start writing?
Dean: My first book, Chesterton Keeps His Town Jumping was published in June of 2014. After writing 3-4 stories about Chesterton and reading them to my Beta group, my grandchildren, I decided to select one and publish it. Simultaneously, Sandwich MA was celebrating its 350th Anniversary. The setting I would choose would be the famous Sandwich boardwalk, designated by National Geographic as one of the top 10 boardwalks in the US in 2012. (Note; In 1990, after the Perfect Storm, the boardwalk, established in 1875, had been destroyed by the now famous Nor'easter. I founded and chaired the Boardwalk Reconstruction Committee leading a community rebuilding effort.) The story was adapted to the 350th anniversary. It is all about community and families and focuses on the favorite summer past time of jumping off the boardwalk into Mill Creek at high tide, a rite of passage for Sandwich kids. We were thrilled to find, Chesterton Keeps His Town Jumping was in the top 20 Best Books of the Year at Titcombs, Book Shop in 2014.
Me: Why write children's books?
Dean: Young minds are precious and the nourishment that is derived from a parent reading to and with a child is like no other. To be in a position, as a children's author, to be the conduit to that experience is priceless.
Me: Why a weasel?
Dean: Read the story behind the story. It all started with a walk in the forest with my granddaughter when we saw an intriguing little creature that captured my imagination.
Me: I really like how you intertwined fact within the story. What made you do this?
Dean: The books are nature books. Each introduces some basic nature awareness through the eyes and habits of a good 'natured' weasel. (Book two-Chesterton Saves The Whale is actually based on a true story when I encountered a pilot whale while kayaking in Mill Creek. The story has a happy ending which differs from the true story.) Each book has a running glossary of terms allowing children or parents to gain further knowledge about the environment of the story. As seen on the back cover, each also has the endorsement of a professional in the subject matter.
Me: Do you plan to write more stories about Chesterton?
Dean: A very timely question? Yes but….when I decided to publish the first book I broke from tradition in a huge way. Since I was writing for kids, why not get kids to illustrate the stories? After consulting with elementary teachers and librarians, I decided to try and find a high school artist who had the potential to illustrate a book. I wound up with two illustrator friends, one who handled the characters and the other the backgrounds and color selections. They are now in college and I am waiting to hear from them as to there availability this summer. I am also working on a mid-grade mystery which will not be part of the series.
Me: Anything else you would like to tell me about?
Dean: The books are available in book stores and in many retail locations on the Cape, and at The Thornton Burgess Society and Greenbriar Nature Center in Sandwich, at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster and The MA Audubon Center in Wellfleet. Bulk orders and custom signed copies are available at deancoebooks.com. Many are sold through my school visits and writing workshops for elementary schools. Custom signing orders can be arranged by emailing me at dean@deancoe.com.
When author, Dean Coe, and his granddaughter Ashlan were walking in Shawme Forest, Sandwich, Massachusetts, they met a small creature that scooted across the trail in front of them. Having easily eluded some barking dogs in pursuit, the winsome character stood momentarily and almost appeared to invite the two to join in the fun. The brief encounter became the impetus for Coe's Chesterton stories about a spirited, ever-curious, good-natured Cape Cod weasel.
The first adventure, Chesterton Keeps His Town Jumping, is about being brave. When jumping off the Sandwich boardwalk bridge, a 150-year-old rite of passage becomes a political issue, Chesterton and Sandwich kids of all ages rally and create a rising tide of opposition to a 'no-jumping' mandate. It's a fanciful story about community and doing the right thing.
The second adventure, Chesterton Saves The Whale, is based on a true story, but with a surprise ending, about a stranded pilot whale discovered by the author while kayaking in Sandwich's Old Harbor.
Chesterton's Scary Breakfast is a fun tale in which Chesterton's spontaneous, whimsical and questionable decision creates an adventure for more than just Chesterton. Chesterton's Winter Rescue introduces readers to the plight of our wildlife in the grips of a severe Cape Cod winter. Chesterton encounters two strange visitors, a couple of puffins, who have been blown to shore in a harsh Nor'easter. With the help of Cousin Otter, he manages to provide shelter and care to the homeless creatures.

An great example: The Multiracial Americans are at the cutting edge of social and demographic change in the U.S.
Young, proud, tolerant and growing at a rate three times as fast as the population as a whole.
As America becomes more racially diverse and social taboos against interracial marriage fade, We need to understand all groups and give them the attention they need.

Power outages continue across Northeast Ohio
Some outages may last until Thursday
By Brittany Bivins | February 26, 2019 at 8:12 PM EST - Updated February 26 at 10:29 PM
CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - Power outages continue across Northeast Ohio, after high-speed winds toppled trees and knocked over power lines on Sunday.
First Energy reported hundreds of customers still without electricity on Tuesday morning.
One of them is Brittania Fields, of Warrensville Heights. Fields said she lost power on Sunday morning after a tree fell on the power line in the yard of an abandoned home next door, snapping the supply to her house, too.
Fields has two small children and said she's been keeping the fireplace going to make the house warm enough for them.
"Basically, we have been living off of firewood from Giant Eagle. I have probably spent over $100 just trying to keep us in fire," said Fields.
"We don't have any heat right now, we don't have electricity, we have running water, but, you know, we really can't go and take a shower, having to get out into a cold house," Fields said.
Fields lives with her children, her husband, and her mother, and said the family has been confined to the living room, as they wait for power to be restored, which may not happen until Thursday.
Fields said she tried to tough it out inside the house, but decided Tuesday, it was time to go to a hotel.
"I was kind of on a breakdown moment, you know, I have kids, I have to be a mom, I have to worry about my mom and the weather and the situation," Fields said. "If it was warm, we maybe could have roughed it, but the temperature is steadily dropping, so that really pushed me over the edge."
FirstEnergy said it is working to restore power to all the affected homes, but that the process has been difficult due to the extensive damage across the six-state coverage area.
Not able to warm up much today, but the snow is over

Mikszáth Kálmán emlékezete – Mikszáth Kálmán (1847-1910) életművét sokféleképp értelmezték. Volt a falu idilli festője, nagy anekdotázó, különcök megfigyelője, cinikus kiábrándult, realista és romantikus. E minősítések nem hiányoznak romániai utóéletéből sem.

Mikszáth Erdélyben

Az írót életében személyes kapcsolatok is fűzték Erdélyhez. Először a Háromszék megyei Illyefalva parlamenti képviselője, 1892-től pedig Fogaras vidékének küldötte. (Az ő ösztönzésére épült Fogarason az a középiskola, amelyben majd Babits Mihály is tanított) Tapasztalatairól, körzetéről, választóiról ilyenképpen ír: "Kicsike falvak bukkannak elő és tűnnek el a vasúti sínek mentén, szalmafedeles házikók liliputi templomocskákkal. Itt-ott rám ismer valaki, meglát a coupéablaknál, s önkéntelenül elkiáltja magát: »Sze treaszke, domnule deputate«. Éljen képviselő úr!..." Mint képviselő szóvá teszi a táj közügyi gondjait: "...Fogaras megye legnagyobb baját, a szegénységet könnyű felismerni, minél fogva gyógyítása a legnagyobb nehézségekbe ütközik; még szinte a fantáziát is igénybe kellene venni ehhez a kúrához." 1910-ben Kovács Dezső az EIT nevében hívta meg Kolozsvárra a jubiláló író tiszteletére rendezett ünnepségre. Mikszáth – betegsége miatt – már nem jöhetett el, de levélben válaszolt a meghívásra: "A jubileummal kapcsolatban tehát nem mehetek Kolozsvárra. Ha később, őszkor vagy jövő tavaszkor méltóztatnak egyszer parancsolni, szívesen állok az irodalmi társaság rendelkezésére" – olvassuk az Akadémia kolozsvári könyvtárában őrzött levélben (a levél keltezése 1910. április 5.). Az író május 28-án meghalt.

A szépíró számára is megtermékenyítő volt az erdélyi időszak. Jobban megismerte az itteni embereket, a román népéletet is. Nem egy művének élményanyagát ebből a világból merítette (A szelistyei asszonyok. 1901).

Mikszáth emlékezete 1918 után

A két háború között a magyar klasszikusok – így Mikszáth írásai is – inkább csak régebbi kiadásokban, esetleg egy-egy időszaki kiadvány, almanach, naptár, tankönyv hasábjain jutottak el az erdélyi olvasóhoz. Így az értelmezések is gyérek, alkalomszerűek. Megemlíthetjük György Lajos munkáját Mikszáth anekdotakincséről (Tárgytörténeti jegyzetek Mikszáth anekdotáihoz), és nem érdektelen emlékeztetni rá, hogy a két háború között fellendülő erdélyi falukutatás művelői azok között emlegetik Mikszáthot, akik "sikeresen vágtak új irányt" a Móricz Zsigmond-i faluábrázolás irányába (Venczel József: A magyar falu a XIX. századbeli irodalomban. Erdélyi Helikon, 1930. II. 769).

A Mikszáth-művek sűrűbb kiadására csak a második világháború után került sor a romániai magyar könyvkiadásban (főleg a Magyar Klasszikusok sorozatban, ill. a Tanulók Könyvtárában, jórészt a Kriterion Könyvkiadó, valamint a Dacia Könyvkiadónál). Negyven év alatt (1949-89) több mint húsz Mikszáth-kötet jelent meg Romániában, félszáznál több kiadásban, összesen mintegy félmillió példányban! Időnként egyik-másik mű színpadi és filmváltozatát is láthatta az érdeklődő, máskor egy-egy évforduló kínált lehetőséget Mikszáth teljesebb megismerésére. Az 1950-es években újból kiadott Mikszáth-művek a korra jellemző újraértékelések jegyében láttak napvilágot. Aszódy János (1950), Antal Árpád (1957), Kocziány László (1958), Méhes György (1960) elő- és utószavai a Mikszáth-kiadványokban inkább a szociális érzékenységű realista íróra tették a hangsúlyt: a társadalmi-politikai küzdelmekben gyökerező regényekre, karcolatokra. Az idill, a romantika legfeljebb színezőként szerepelt az egyes köteteket kísérő méltatásokban. Ekkor jelentek meg: A gavallérok (1949); A körtvélyesi csíny (1950, 1955); Beszterce ostroma. Új Zrínyiász (1953), A Noszty fiú esete Tóth Marival (1955, 1957, 1960), A fekete város (1958). Ritkábban a mese-romantikát őrző kisregények. A beszélő köntös (1955), Szent Péter esernyője – Akli Miklós (1956), Kísértet Lublón (1957), A szelistyei asszonyok (1957). Az 1950-es évek közepétől Prakovszky, a siket kovács (1956), majd A tót atyafiak (1958) címmel jelennek meg novellagyűjtemények az életműből, s tudatossá válik a rövid műfajok kedvelőjének ébresztése (Izsák József: Mikszáth Kálmán, a novellaíró. Igaz Szó, 1960/7).

Az 1960-as évektől a szaktudomány Magyarországon egyre nagyobb teret szentelt az író sajátos romantikájának (Barta János: Mikszáth-problémák. Irodalomtörténeti Közlemények, Budapest, 1961). Az 1964-től kezdve megjelenő Sőtér-féle A magyar irodalom története a "romantikus-realista" írót kísérli meg felmutatni. Ez a szemléletmódosulás megfigyelhető az erdélyi Mikszáth-értelmezésekben is. Esztétikailag hitelesebb magyarázatokkal jutnak el az olvasóhoz Mikszáth írásai. Ismét megjelenik a Beszterce ostroma (1964, 1974), Bajor Andor, ill. Dávid Gyula immár árnyaltabb bevezető tanulmányaival, a Szent Péter esernyője (1969) Aradi József bevezetőjével, a Tavaszi rügyek és a Szent Péter esernyője (1976) Veress Dániel utószavával, A Noszty fiú esete Tóth Marival (1970) Antal Árpád és a Különös házasság (1978) Kozma Dezső bevezetőjével. Nagyobb teret kapnak a mesei és történelmi idillt őrző elbeszélések, kisregények. (A két koldusdiák. 1960, 1971), A furcsa alperes (1972), A lohinai fű (1975: A lohinai fű; Galamb a kalitkában; A kis prímás; A gavallérok) Antal Árpád bevezetőjével. 1973-ban kerül az erdélyi olvasó kezébe – Antal Árpád tanulmányával – Mikszáthnak a nagy romantikus elődről írott portréja, a Jókai élete és kora.

Az egyes műveket bemutató elemzésekkel, hosszabb-rövidebb méltatásokkal párhuzamosan sor került az írói pálya egészét áttekintő bemutatásra is. A Dacia Könyvkiadó Kismonográfia-sorozatában jelenik meg Kozma Dezső könyve, amely a romantika és realizmus összefonódását követi nyomon a magyar hagyományokban mélyen gyökerező író életművében. Ugyancsak kiemelt helyet kapnak az értékelésben a műfaji vonatkozások, Mikszáth regény-, ill. novellatípusai (Mikszáth Kálmán, 1977).

A 20. század utolsó évtizedeinek rangosabb kiadványai: Szent Péter esernyője. Galamb a kalitkában. Az eladó birtok (1981); A vén gazember (benne három kisregény: A fekete kakas; A sipsirica; A vén gazember – Mikszáth ritkábban megjelentetett művei Kozma Dezső bevezetőjével. 1983). Ismét megjelent a talán legtöbbször kiadott dzsentri-regény (A Noszty fiú esete Tóth Marival. 1983), 1990-ben pedig a gyermekek számára készült összeállítás a Creangă Könyvkiadó A becsületes Gyuri története és más elbeszélések címmel, Fodor Irén összeállításában.

Külön figyelmet érdemel, hogy a Petelei-levelezés Bisztray Gyula gondozta és bevezette kiadásával (Petelei István irodalmi levelezése. 1980) számos Mikszáthra vonatkozó ismeretlen és jelentős irodalomtörténeti dokumentum került napvilágra.

Mikszáth műveinek román nyelvre fordítása már a 19. század végén elkezdődött. 1897-ben Temesvárt jelenik meg a Szent Péter esernyője (Ioan Niţu Pop szabad átültetésében), A gavallérokat (1911) Liviu Rebreanu fordítja le, Mikszáth egyik novelláját (A kaszát vásárló paraszt) pedig felveszi első novelláskötetébe is. 1926-ban Ioan Lupu ad ki egy kötetet (A dzsentrifészek), nemsokára a Boabe de grîu c. folyóirat folytatásokban közli A szelistyei asszonyokat (1931) A. P. Todor fordításában. Gyűjteményekben, folyóiratokban is találkozunk időnként egy-egy Mikszáth-novellával.

A második világháború után újabb kötetekkel lett teljesebb a Mikszáth-fordítás. Kötetben is megjelenik A szelistyei asszonyok (1947), követik a közéleti szatírák (Két választás Magyarországon 1951, Petru Mureşanu [Ion Chinezu] fordításában). A Különös házasság először a világirodalom klasszikusainak szánt sorozatban jelenik meg 1954-ben (Andrei Aldea fordítása), majd az író halálának 50. évfordulóján a romániai magyar irodalom első román összefoglalójának, Ion Chinezunak a tolmácsolásában, M. V. Tudor bevezetőjével. Rövidebb írásaiból Emil Giurgiuca jelentetett meg gyűjteményt Ovidiu Drîmba bevezetőjével (1954). A Szent Péter esernyője 1968-ban jelenik meg újra Lucia Nasta és H. Grămescu fordításában, N. Balotă elemző tanulmányával. Ezek a bevezető értékelések, akárcsak a folyóiratokban (Gazeta literară, Tribuna, Steaua, Luceafărul) megjelent méltatások jórészt pályaképek, Mikszáth-portrék. A magyar irodalom 1966-ban közreadott román nyelvű antológiájában a Galamb a kalitkában c. Mikszáth-írás szerepel. Szaktanulmányt Mikszáth anekdotikus stílusáról Murvai Olga jelentetett meg még 1975-ben a Revista de Istorie şi Teorie Literară c. folyóiratban.

When he finishes Bob takes off his glasses and talks directly to camera describing how he often feels that he would like to know more about the stories he commentates. The caravan conference had "captured the imagination of the world's press", but Bob was interested in finding out more about the background to the story. (Seen from a 1990s perspective, Bob's sincerity about a Caravan Conference beggars the question "How much did they pay him for this?")
01:21:13 L/S of Houses of Commons. Bob states that the story begins when soap rationing was abolished in 1950. C/U of sales assistant reading of this in the newspaper. He looks very excited. C/U of the newspaper headline. The salesmen hands the paper to a colleague. A salesman comes in and the grocer shakes his hand. Bob tells of the failure of chocolate de-rationing when demand outstripped supply. The more alert soap companies had already prepared for de-rationing with sales campaigns. "1950 was a heyday for salesmen."
01:21:52 L/S of delivery van leaving a depot. "Stork Margarine" is painted on the side of the van. C/U of two men beginning to unload a lorry filled with boxes of "Rinso". Inside the bedroom of the grocer seen earlier, lots of boxes of Rinso are stacked! Mildly comedic sequence follows of the grocer standing on his bed and trying to stack the boxes. A pile of boxes fall over and cover the grocer.
01:22:30 L/S of a Mrs Mop type housewife walking towards the camera on de-rationing day. We see our grocer piling up the boxes he walks down his step ladder. Bob states that "the buying avalanche never really came..." The housewife comes in and only buys two boxes rather than the six offered to her by the grocer. "Buying habits that had grown cautiously" governed how soap powder was sold. Salesman sits writing at a desk filling out his returns. Hudson and Knight is the company featured. "They had reason to be satisfied with their first drive in a free market." They had broken records which had stood for 45 years. C/U of sales charts showing how deliveries and sales are up. Meeting at the firm's headquarters in Wapping. A group of men sit around the table discussing their sales techniques. They talk in rather a forced and stilted manner. It is decided to direct their sales campaign not only at the shopkeeper but also at the housewife. One of the men says of the salesmen: "Julian we must convince them of the need for merchandising." The salesmen will have to radically change their technique.
01:24:17 It is decided to set up "a new line for conferences - everyone under one roof." C/U of men walking along, we see just their lower legs and feet. Two men are looking for a suitable place for their conferences. Various hotels: men come out of the revolving doors of a hotel. Names are seen: Kenilworth, Ivanhoe, Kingsley. L/S of the men looking at Buckingham Palace. They arrive at Earls Court. Empress hall. Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath. Back in Wapping headquarters. The men worry about how to get their chairman's new ideas across to the salesmen. Three men in an office - one sits at the desk, one walks around talking, the other sits on top of a desk. The man standing up paces backwards and forwards. They are having a brainstorm session. C/U of one of the men jotting things down in a notebook. Man walks down an office corridor. A woman in one of the offices calls him in.
01:25:30 The idea they hit upon is the fable (of course!) "dressed in modern clothes and mounted on the stage". C/U of a model stage set. C/U of woman sitting in an office in front of filing cabinets typing. C/U of the paper as it is fed through the typewriter. Four one act comedies are the result to "put across a modern sales philosophy." Four members of staff learn their lines in the model school room where salesmen had been taught their selling lines. The rehearsals are recorded. Camera pans across microphone and recording equipment. The recordings will be played to board members. The board members sit in easy chairs whilst one of the "actors" plays the recording. C/U of some of the men listening and smiling to themselves.
01:26:35 The two members of staff who have been searching for a conference location have at last hit upon the "Olympia Grand Hall." M/S of a man working at a drawing board. C/U of a blueprint of Olympia. C/U of a list of the equipment needed for the conference - a very long list - being fed through the typewriter. Bob Danvers-Walkers underlines the fact that many, many things are needed by saying, "etc. etc. etc." about 15 times. Funny.
01:27:17 L/S of many caravans being driven through a rainy street. Salesmen arriving at a railway station and two climbing into a taxi. High angle shot of interior of Olympia. Many caravans fill the hall. Crowds of 300 salesmen wander around the conference. Two of the salesmen open the door to a caravan and go inside. It has all home comforts. Presumably they will be sleeping here.
01:28:04 C/U of two pints of beer. Beer garden inside Olympia. Men sit at tables with gingham tablecloths sipping beer and smoking. L/S of the circus ring at Olympia performing horses trot around the ring. L/S of audience. Various shots of men cutting and painting wood to construct the set for the fables.
01:28:24 The set is constructed. Shots of this are intercut with shots of the circus. C/U of a newspaper report about "The Caravan Village". Two salesmen in bed in their pyjamas read the newspapers and smile. Caravan doors open and salesmen walk out. High angle shot of salesmen sitting in an auditorium. Various shots of the salesmen. C/U of a programme for "Olympian Fable the second - Humpty Dumpty."
01:29:43 We see part of the fable performed on stage. The fable is set in a courtroom. A policeman is being questioned by a barrister. The salesmen in the audience laugh at some of the jokes. One of the characters is given a tube of Vim to swear upon (rather than a bible). Lots of in-jokes that the salesmen would understand about market research, sales for 1950, standards of cleanliness, etc. The sales techniques of Hudson & Knight are praised. The market research man accidentally shows the judge a picture of a glamour girl. The judge makes a joke about "curves." The judge is paid by the Company Chairman. The salesmen listen to his summing up with great interest. Crux of the matter is that salesmen must turn their attention to the housewife as well as the grocer. Some of the salesmen chat to one of the actors. They sit at tables and chat to each other about what they have seen. A dartboard can be seen in the background, and also a table skittles game.
01:34:52 Backstage - we meet some of the actors. The Advertising Director is cast in the role of Parson. "The Lion and the Mouse" is the second fable featured. C/U of programme. This fable is about marketing strategy. "One can't afford to stand still, you've got to move with the times..." The grocer and the housewife seen earlier answer questions about the influences on the soap market as if they are part of a machine. "Who controls soap stocks in 1950?" is the question. The grocer steps forwards and says "I did". "Who'll control them in 1951?" "I will!" replies the housewife. Some comedy business ensues.
01:37:27 Another machine is featured - an advertising machine. The Advertising Director appears inside a television set type box. C/U of the Parson speaking about how to appeal to the housewife through advertising. A hand turns a dial over which a sign reading "Do Not Touch" is hanging. Through a camera trick the Parson head suddenly changes to a pair of women's legs! Laughter from the audience and applause.
01:38:43 Salesmen travel back to "the hard realism of their daily contacts." Two men sit together on a train talking about the new sales philosophy. Shot of the train moving away from the camera. The Pathe cockerel is seen as if on a cinema screen. It then enlarges to fill the screen with the Pathe News logo.
01:39:12 Intertitle reads: "This Was News" was a Film Report on the 1951 Sales Conference of Hudson & Knight Ltd.

10 Fascinating Praying Mantis Facts
Praying Mantis Hear With Their Bellies {And Other Fun Facts}
The word mantis comes from the Greek mantikos, for soothsayer or prophet. Indeed, these insects do seem spiritual, especially when their forelegs are clasped together as if they're in prayer. Learn more about these mysterious insects with these 10 fascinating facts about praying mantids.
1. Most Praying Mantids Live in the Tropics
Of approximately 2,000 species of mantids described to date, almost all are tropical creatures. Just 18 native species are known from the entire North American continent. About 80% of all members of the order Mantodea belong to a single family, the Mantidae.
2. The Mantids We See Most Often in the U.S. Are Exotic Species
You're more likely to find an introduced mantid species than you are to find a native praying mantis. The Chinese mantis (Tenodera aridifolia) was introduced near Philadelphia, PA about 80 years ago. This large mantid can measure up to 100 mm in length. The European mantid, Mantis religiosa, is pale green and about half the size of the Chinese mantid. European mantids were introduced near Rochester, NY nearly a century ago. Both the Chinese and European mantids are common in the northeastern U.S. today.
3. Mantids Can Turn Their Heads a Full 180 Degrees
Try to sneak up on a praying mantis, and you may be startled when it looks over its shoulder at you. No other insect can do so. Praying mantids have a flexible joint between the head and prothorax that enables them to swivel their heads. This ability, along with their rather humanoid faces and long, grasping forelegs, endears them to even the most entomophobic people among us.
4. Mantids Are Closely Related to Cockroaches and Termites
These three seemingly different insects – mantids, termites, and cockroaches – are believed to descend from a common ancestor. In fact, some entomologists group these insects in a superorder (Dictyoptera), due to their close evolutionary relationships.
5. Praying Mantids Overwinter as Eggs in Temperate Regions
The female praying mantis deposits her eggs on a twig or stem in the fall and then rotects them with a Styrofoam-like substance she secretes from her body. This forms a protective egg case, or ootheca, in which her offspring will develop over the winter. Mantid egg cases are easy to spot in the winter when leaves have fallen from shrubs and trees. But be forewarned! If you bring an overwintering ootheca into your warm home, you may find your house teeming with tiny mantids.
6. Female Mantids Sometimes Eat Their Mates
Yes, it's true, female praying mantids do cannibalize their sex partners. In some instances, she'll even behead the poor chap before they've consummated their relationship. As it turns out, a male mantid is an even better lover when his brain, which controls inhibition, is detached from his abdominal ganglion, which controls the actual act of copulation. Cannibalism is variable across the different mantid species, with estimates ranging from about 46% of all sexual encounters to none at all. It occurs among praying mantids between 13–28% of natural encounters in the field.
7. Mantids Use Specialized Front Legs to Capture Prey
The praying mantis is so named because when waiting for prey, it holds its front legs in an upright position as if they are folded in prayer. Don't be fooled by its angelic pose, however, because the mantid is a deadly predator. If a bee or fly happens to land within its reach, the praying mantis will extend its arms with lightning quick speed, and grab the hapless insect. Sharp spines line the mantid's raptorial forelegs, enabling it to grasp the prey tightly as it eats. Some larger mantids catch and eat lizards, frogs, and even birds. Who says bugs are at the bottom of the food chain?! The praying mantis would better be called the preying mantis.
8. Mantids Are Relatively Young Compared to Other Ancient Insects
The earliest fossil mantids date from the Cretaceous Period and are between 146-66 million years old. These primitive mantid specimens lack certain traits found in the mantids that live today. They don't have the elongate pronotum, or extended neck, of modern-day mantids and they lack spines on their forelegs.
9. Praying Mantids Are Not Necessarily Beneficial Insects
Praying mantids can and will consume lots of other invertebrates in your garden, so they're often considered beneficial predators. It's important to note, however, that mantids don't discriminate between good bugs and bad bugs when looking for meals. A praying mantis is just as likely to eat a native bee that's pollinating your plants as it is to eat a caterpillar pest. Garden supply companies often sell the egg cases of Chinese mantids, touting them as a biological control for your garden, but these predators may do as much harm as good in the end.
10. Mantids Have Two Eyes, but Only One Ear
A praying mantis has two large, compound eyes that work together to help it decipher visual cues. But strangely, the praying mantis has just a single ear, located on the underside of its belly, just forward of its hind legs. This means the mantid cannot discriminate the direction of a sound, nor its frequency. What it can do is detect ultrasound, or sound produced by echolocating bats. Studies have shown that praying mantids are quite good at evading bats. A mantis in flight will essentially stop, drop, and roll in midair, dive bombing away from the hungry predator. Not all mantids have an ear, and those that don't are typically flightless, so they don't have to flee flying predators like bats.

Bethenny Frankel Is Ready to Sell a Portion of Her Skinnygirl Empire
By Allison Cacich
It's hard to believe that Bravo fans were first introduced to Bethenny Frankel over 11 years ago. The no-nonsense businesswoman became an instant favorite on the first season of The Real Housewives of New York City and viewers ultimately watched her get married, give birth, and go through a contentious divorce.
Despite the 48-year-old's ever-present legal battles — she's still fighting for custody of daughter Bryn nearly seven years after her split from ex-husband Jason Hoppy — the brunette beauty managed to build an empire outside of reality TV. Skinnygirl, which initially specialized in low-calorie cocktails, has been around since 2009, but does Bethenny still own the company?
Scroll down for an update on the brand, which now includes apparel, popcorn, candy, shampoos, and more.
Did Bethenny Frankel sell Skinnygirl?
On a recent episode of RHONY, the mother-of-one revealed that she's ready to sell part of Skinnygirl due to the stress of running such a large business.
"I don't have time to drink water," Bethenny admitted. "I want to get off this. I need a break. I'm realizing I'm taking on too much and I'm burnt. We need to let some air out of the tires."
A source tells People magazine that the entrepreneur hasn't made the sale yet, but that she's weighing multiple offers. Bethenny confessed that she's no longer able to expand the brand on her own.
"All of the seeds that I planted years ago didn't factor in for divorce and custody battle, a relief effort that I put on, a death, etc," she explained on RHONY. "It's every day, all day. I'm with Bryn for every activity, and then it's boom — on a plane to North Carolina. Then boom, on a plane to Florida for relief … I'm not going on like this."
Bethenny with daughter Bryn.
Any deal that Bethenny agrees to will most likely leave her with creative control of the brand but pass off some of the company's business dealings. "I'm not looking to exit," she clarified. "I'm just looking for ways to take some pressure off."
Bethenny previously sold Skinnygirl Cocktails in 2011.
The brand really took off thanks to the reality star's Skinnygirl margarita, a low-calorie cocktail that came in a bottle. Bethenny eventually sold that part of the company to Fortune Brands' Beam Global for an estimated $100 million in 2011.
Now, Skinnygirl Cocktails includes wine, vodka, and a variety of ready-to-serve drinks (like mojitos, piña coladas, and sangria). Bethenny said her success is due to making the "right moves" at the right time.
"It feels really nice that people are very impressed with the Skinnygirl brand, with what I've built," she shared. "I still feel like I'm the young girl struggling to make it work. This is more than a decade later and it's a known brand name. I just have to decide what the dynamic is going to be."
But Bethenny emphasized that her family will always come first. "I want my life to be different. I don't want to be rushing out of something to get to something else to get to be with my daughter," she stated. "I have a good relationship going with a great guy [boyfriend Paul Bernon] and I want to keep it that way. I want it to be balanced."
Watch new episodes of The Real Housewives of New York City on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Below are topics pertaining to the production hosting service that WebEnabled offers.
VPS stands for "virtual private server". It provides features of a dedicated server on a machine that is shared by other customers. Customers get hosting services that are similar to that of dedicated web-hosting without sacrificing privacy or performance.
What OS is available on WebEnabled?
We use our custom WebEnabled VPS template, which is built upon Openwall GNU/*/Linux (a security-focused Linux distro) with WebEnabled packages and WE Dashboard integration added.
Can multiple WE sites be deployed to the same VPS? How does this work with shared resources?
Yes. You basically own the resources guaranteed by the plan. When you deploy multiple sites, they share the resources of your VPS much like different customers' accounts would share the resources of a physical server on a provider's shared hosting setup - you sort of become your own shared hosting provider. Moreover, the shared hosting setup that we provide to you as part of our WE VPS template includes OS-level security separation between the different virtual hosts. Thus, the level of isolation between your own multiple sites on a single WE VPS is actually greater than that between different customers' accounts on typical shared hosting.
How does your production hosting plan compare to shared hosts?
BlueHost, HostGator, HostMonster, GoDaddy & other shared hosting-providers are not optimized for high-traffic website deployments. Our production servers are optimized based on intended traffic & space usage. Also, with a VPS package you can customize it according to your environment preferences.
Is there a bandwidth cap / limit?
Not explicitly monitored right now. We can provide you with a number for any plan if you like so you'll know what it is if we decide to start monitoring bandwidth. Contact us for site-traffic concerns prior to subscribing to any of our production hosting packages.
Does it look like cPanel?
Your VPS links directly into the WebEnabled.com Dashboard for easy management of vhosts on it. The new dashboard (released July/August 2010) should make this process even better. We prefer not to install cPanel and have our users use WebEnabled instead.
Is it easy to upgrade from the Starter Plan to the Small Plan, etc.?
Yes. In some circumstances if you upgrade we may need to move the VPS to another machine. You may upgrade or downgrade your VPS plan anytime.
What do I need to manage the WE VPS server?
We provide the root username and password. You can manage the server up to whatever degree you like. Note that if you purchase a VPS then you are expected to maintain it for the most part. It's basically your own server. If you are not comfortable with this or do not have the necessary skills, we then suggest you stick to shared hosting. We charge $100/hr billed in half-hour increments for extra systems admin. We can work a deal for a support contract, that's up to you.
Do you offer/plan to offer automated backups?
We have an automated-backups option that can be purchased through the Backups tab of each site.
Also, we recommend that you do not opt-out of our business continuity backups, which don't cost you extra as long as you're OK with your VPS usable disk space reduced accordingly (otherwise, there's a small per GB fee for part of the backed-up VPS space).
Is there any kind of remote reboot/console access?
You get shell access and a root account. No remote reboot "button" as of yet.
WebEnabled customers may reboot their VPSes by logging in under the root account and executing "reboot" via ssh shell. Please note that rebooted VPSes are expected to come back up in up to 6 minutes (3 minutes on average). This is something to be used sparingly - only in situations where rebooting the server is necessary.
Is it possible to change VPS ownership?
Yes, it's is possible to transfer or delegate ownership of a VPS. See video for more information.

Annual Privatization Report 2022 — Transportation Finance
This report reviews 2021 developments in the infrastructure investment fund world, focusing on transportation infrastructure.
Since the late 1980s, governments have privatized many state-owned enterprises, including infrastructure such as airports, electricity, gas, railroads, seaports, telecommunication providers, and toll roads. Some of these facilities were sold to investors, in whole or in part (as is the case with many European airports). In other countries, public infrastructure facilities were leased to investors under long-term public-private partnerships (P3s). Thereafter, a growing number of governments also used such P3s to finance, build, and operate new airports or airport terminals, electricity facilities, seaports, and toll roads. The sale or lease of an existing facility is called a "brownfield" transaction (in part because significant refurbishment may be needed). By contrast, P3s for brand new facilities are referred to as "greenfield" transactions.
The sale or lease of an existing facility is called a "brownfield" transaction (in part because significant refurbishment may be needed). By contrast, P3s for brand new facilities are referred to as "greenfield" transactions.
In the United States, a significant amount of infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector, including most U.S. energy production and distribution plus electric and gas utilities, as well as a fraction of water and wastewater infrastructure. These assets may be held through publicly traded corporations or (in the case of energy) master limited partnerships, or they may be owned directly by private investors. In transportation, however, nearly all U.S. airports, seaports, and toll roads are government-owned enterprises, generally by either state or local governments.
Infrastructure projects of both brownfield and greenfield types require long-term financing. In the public sector, such facilities are often financed 100% by government bonds, which in the United States are tax-exempt. When the private sector invests in infrastructure, it typically invests equity to cover part of the cost and finances the rest via either bank loans or long-term borrowing, such as via revenue bonds. These large financing needs have led to the development and growth of infrastructure investment funds, most of which raise equity to invest in privately owned or P3 infrastructure (though a more recent development is infrastructure debt funds, as well). Public pension funds, seeking to increase their overall return on investments, are also making significant equity investments in revenue-generating infrastructure.
Infrastructure Investor reports that during 2021 investors put $136 billion in new money into infrastructure investment funds. Pension funds continued to increase their investment in infrastructure, in most cases by placing a specific allocation with one or more of the infrastructure funds, but a handful of large pension funds have built professional staffs that enable them to make direct investments in individual facilities.
This report reviews 2021 developments in the infrastructure investment fund world, focusing on transportation infrastructure. While the scope of the report is global, it pays particular attention to U.S. developments in P3 infrastructure and the growth of U.S. pension fund investing in this field.
Part 2 reviews the continuing growth and scope of infrastructure investment funds worldwide.
Part 3 then provides an update on the largest companies and major P3 projects underway globally and in the United States.
Finally, Part 4 reviews pension funds' increasing investment in revenue-generating infrastructure.

1908-1925 Model T Fords had only an engine number it was stamped on the LH side of the engine above the water intake. Ford did not start stamping numbers on frames until 1926. 1926-1927 Fords stamped their number on the top of the right side frame rail near the emergency brake cross rod. The frame number and engine number should match for 1926-1927 Model T.
Look on top of the frame on the left side back from the front body bolt hole. This is where you would typically place your left foot. Many engines were replaced on these early Ford's so be sure to match up any number found with that on the engine block. The engine number is stamped on the LH side of the engine above the water intake.
From 1932 through 1948 vehicles, Ford Motor Company stamped the serial number into the top of the driver's side frame rail in three locations. This same number was also stamped into the top of the transmission-to-engine housing portion of the transmission on V8 engines and L6 engines. This location was visible when the floorboard and transmission cover plate were removed. On 4 Cylinder engines the engine number is stamped on the LH side of the engine above the water intake. Of the frame-stamped serial numbers, only the forward-most stamping was visible when looking down into the engine compartment located between the front cross member and the dash (firewall). The two other frame locations are visible only when the body is removed from the frame. The serial numbers were metal stamped with numbers/letters approximately 1/4″ in height. Look inside the frame rail, driver's side.
The number (including the prefixes shown) was always preceded by (and followed by) a stamped "star" similar to an asterisk. It is believed that this was done to prevent someone from fraudulently adding a digit to the beginning or ending of a serial number in order to alter its identification. Starting in 1931 Ford changed the numerals for 1, 6 & 9. Click on the image to see a larger view that will also allow you to cycle through all the photos in this article.
A number should be stamped in the topside of the right frame roughly in the area below the heater fan and should match the data plate tag on the firewall. There is no number stamped on the engine.
This is a 1955-1956 Thunderbird data Tag.
This is a 1957 Thunderbird data Tag.
A number should be stamped in the location shown below by year and should match the data plate tag on the firewall. There is no number stamped on the engine.
During the first few years of production, 1964 1/2 to 1967, look on the upper flange of the left front fender apron which is under the hood.
