A second officer is released from the hospital, and the search for a canoeist, now considered a recovery effort, will resume Tuesday.
One of the Fryeburg police officers who assisted in a rescue attempt on the Saco River on Saturday was released from Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston on Monday, while another officer remained in critical condition.
Fryeburg police officers Dale Stout, 51, and Nathan Desjardins, 20, were thrown from a rescue boat after it hit something near the shore, according to the Maine Warden Service.
They were transported by medical helicopter to CMMC, where Desjardins has been in critical condition since.
Jennifer Bousquet, 38, of South Berwick, is still missing, but police now consider the search to be a recovery effort. Bousquet disappeared after the canoe she was riding in with Wayne Demers, 62, of Somersworth, New Hampshire, capsized about 3:50 p.m. Saturday near mile 8 of the Saco River.
A second canoe paddled by Brian Day, 54, of South Berwick, who was riding alongside them, also capsized. Demers and Day made it to shore.
The search for Bousquet is expected to resume Tuesday morning, according to the warden service.
Stout is also a firefighter/paramedic with the Biddeford Fire Department.
Biddeford Fire Chief Scott Gagne released a statement Monday saying that the department's peer support team has been working with Stout and his family as he recovers.
Paul Hall, who was fishing with a friend on the Saco River on Saturday, told WCSH-6 on Monday that he heard a "loud bang" and then heard Stout yelling for help. They went to the rescue boat and found Stout injured and Desjardins unconscious.
They used Stout's radio to call for help, Hall told the TV station.
"You won't forget about something like this. It's one of those things where it won't be in the front of my mind … but I can close my eyes and see it probably forever," he said.

Bred in Saskatchewan and now sold all over the world, the Speckle Park breed of cow has come a long way in a short time.
The first Speckle Park cow — which later became the Speckle Park breed — was first invented or conceived near Lloydminster in 1953. The breed is a combination of three types of cattle genetics, geared towards making a breed that was easy to manage, with a high yield of meat or a "good carcass," as they say in the beef industry.
Though they were not officially recognized as a distinct breed until 2006, Rod Remin has raised Speckle Park cattle since 1998. Originally, it was just a hobby for Remin, who is a professor at Ambrose University, but as a child he wanted to be a veterinarian.
The breed was the right fit and the at times hands off approach was a selling point for Remin.
"I've seen these animals go into scrub brush and push trees down while foraging … they're very hearty," said Remin. This has been a key selling feature and led to several Australian ranchers investing in Speckle Park herds.
Remin said there is probably more of this breed in Australia than there is in Canada, but the demand has been steadily increasing from all around the world. In fact, at Agribition, Remin was approached by buyers from the Netherlands and Germany who were looking to bring the breed into the European Union.
In the sale, the moderate-sized cows don't sell for what bigger more established breeds do. For example, on Wednesday a Speckle Park heifer sold for a record $20,000. Angus heifers will often sell for $50,000.
Remin remembers the first time Speckle Park were brought to Agribition. "We were the laughing stock of Agribition," said Remin.
But the "funny speckled animals" as Remin put it, started to get respect when they were officially recognized.
Now, with several Grand Champion carcass awards from the Calgary Stampede, 75 per cent of the breed receiving a AAA rating over the past six years, people are taking the funny Saskatchewan born animals a bit more seriously.


Fibromyalgia Forum > Off-Topic > Tea Time and Pub > Do Any Of You Have Asperger's Along With Fibromyalgia?
While I know we all struggle with Fibro here I wondered if anyone has ever been tested for autism and found they may have Asperger, which is the high intelligent end on the spectrum?
I am going through some testing now to determine if I might have this condition and it would be nice to know if someone here has been tested and by that testing discovered they either have this disorder or the testing proved it was not a possibility.
I did a few tests on line and read some information, thinking ya right, and was amazed when I got done reading and studying, that I might just have a lot of the symptoms that point all in that direction.
As I have stated many times we have fibromyalgia, but we can have other disorders that can cause our many different symptoms and sometimes it is worth the expense to get it checked out.
Re: Do Any Of You Have Asperger's Along With Fibromyalgia?
Just so you all know I did the quiz at my counselor's office and some of my life choices in social interaction were on the moderate scale, which is a lot like fibro. Meaning they can't say I don't have it, but then again they can't say I do. So here we are thinking we are in a class by ourselves, but we are not because high end autism is the same sort of medical condition.
Symptoms can be the same as someone else with autism or not, as fibro matches symptoms with many other well known illnesses, but you don't have them either. So it is easy to get frustrated and depressed, when symptoms are there but you might not have that other thing.
Just thought you all might like knowing that as we are not alone here, as we all have or think we have fibro, but there are others out there searching for different relationships to other illnesses and not getting the help they need either. One big circle. Aren't you glad your here and not lost out there alone without a clue??
Comment if you like I enjoy hearing from all of you.

Oklahoma State University–Stillwater (officially Oklahoma State University; informally Oklahoma State, OK State, OSU) is a public land-grant research university in Stillwater, Oklahoma. OSU was founded in 1890 under the Morrill Act. Originally known as Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (Oklahoma A&M), it is the flagship institution of the Oklahoma State University System that holds more than 35,000 students across its five campuses with an annual budget of $1.5 billion.[2] The main campus enrollment for the fall 2019 semester was 24,071, with 20,024 undergraduates and 4,017 graduate students. OSU is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity".[8] According to the National Science Foundation, OSU spent $198.8 million on research and development in 2021.[9]
The Oklahoma State Cowboys and Cowgirls have won 52 national championships, which ranks fourth in most NCAA team national championships after Stanford University, University of California, Los Angeles, and University of Southern California .[10] The Oklahoma State Cowboys wrestling is the most successful NCAA Division I program of all time in any sport.[11] As of 2021, Oklahoma State students and alumni have won 34 Olympic medals (21 gold, 5 silver, and 8 bronze).[12] The university has produced 29 Goldwater Scholars, 18 Truman Scholars, 18 Udall Scholars, and 48 Fulbright Scholars,[13][14] astronauts,[15] and a billionaire.[16] OSU is ranked top 10 nationally and top 100 in the world for contributions to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.[17]
Students spend part of the fall semester preparing for OSU's Homecoming celebration, begun in 1913, which draws more than 40,000 alumni and over 70,000 participants each year to campus and is billed by the university as "America's Greatest Homecoming Celebration."[18] The Oklahoma State University alumni network exceeds 250,000 graduates.
Old Central at Oklahoma A&M, 1894
Williams Hall, the Castle of the Prairies, in 1920
On December 25, 1890, the Oklahoma Territorial Legislature finally gained approval for Oklahoma Territorial Agricultural and Mechanical (A&M) College, the land-grant institution established under the Morrill Act of 1862. The legislature specified that the college was to be within Payne County. Such an ambiguous description created a rivalry among towns in the county, with Stillwater ultimately gaining the campus. Upon statehood in 1907, "Territorial" was dropped from its title.
Oklahoma A&M seal
The first students assembled for class on December 14, 1891. For two and a half years, classes were held in local churches, until the first academic building, later known as Old Central, was constructed and dedicated on June 15, 1894, on the southeast corner campus. It was surrounded by flat plowed prairie.[19]
In 1896, Oklahoma A&M held its first commencement with six male graduates. The first Library was established in Old Central in one room shared with the English Department. The first campus building to have electricity, Williams Hall, was constructed in 1900. Because of its turreted architecture, it was referred to as the "Castle of the Prairies";[20] It survived until 1969.
One of the earliest campus buildings was also a barn, used as part of an agricultural experiment station, which was served by a large reservoir pond created in 1895. The barn burned down in 1922, but the pond, enlarged and remodeled in 1928 and 1943, is now known as Theta Pond, a popular campus scenic landmark.[21] In 1906, Morrill Hall was completed and became the principal building on campus. A fire gutted the building in 1914, but the outside structure survived intact, and the interior was reconstructed.
Boy's Dormitory, later Crutchfield Hall
On-campus housing at Oklahoma A&M College began in 1910, with the opening of the Boys' Dormitory.[22] Later renamed Crutchfield Hall, the Historic American Buildings Survey said it was significant as "... the first permanent boy's dormitory in Oklahoma ... [and] the sole surviving example of a pre-1930 utilitarian dormitory that is characteristic of modified Italian Renaissance Revival architecture".[23] Crutchfield Hall later served the School of Music and the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology before it was ranked as outdated and demolished in 1995.[22]
Also opened in 1910 was the Women's Building, a dorm for female students that also containing a dining hall, home economics classes, and a women's gymnasium. It was later named Garner Hall. Today it is known as the Bartlett Center for the Studio Arts and houses the Gardiner Art Gallery.[22][24]
By 1919 the campus included Morrill Hall, the Central Building, the Engineering Building (now Gundersen Hall), the Women's building, the Auditorium (replaced later by the Seretean Center for Performing Arts),[25] the Armory-Gymnasium (now the Architecture Building) and the Power Plant.[26]
At the beginning of World War II, Oklahoma A&M was one of six schools selected by the United States Navy to give the Primary School in the Electronics Training Program (ETP), also known as Naval Training School Elementary Electricity and Radio Materiel (NTS EE&RM).[27] Starting in March 1942, each month a new group of 100 Navy students arrived for three months of 14-hour days in concentrated electrical engineering study. Cordell Hall, the newest dormitory, was used for housing and meals; lectures and lab sessions were held in the Engineering Building. Professor Emory B. Phillips was the Director of Instruction. ETP admission required passing the Eddy Test, one of the most selective qualifying exams given during the war years.[28] At a given time, some 500 Navy students were on the campus, a significant fraction of the war-years enrollment. The training activity continued until June 1945 and served a total of about 7,000 students; among these was Robert B. Kamm, a future professor and president of Oklahoma State University.[29][30] During some of the war years, the Navy also operated a Yeoman training activity for WAVES and SPARS on this campus.
Student Union Building at OSU
Much of the growth of Oklahoma A&M and the architectural integrity of the campus can be attributed to Henry G. Bennett, who served as the school's president from 1928 to 1950. Early in his tenure, Dr. Bennett developed a strategic vision for the university campus's physical expansion. The plan was adopted in 1937, and his vision was followed for more than fifty years, including the predominant Georgian architecture style that permeates the campus. He intended the focal point to be a centrally located library building: this was the Edmon Low Library, which opened in 1953. Another major addition to the campus during the Bennett years was the Student Union, which opened in 1950. Subsequent additions and renovations have made the building one of the largest student union buildings in the world at 611,000 sq ft (56,800 m2).[31] A complete renovation and further expansion of the building began in 2010.
Oklahoma A&M's global engagement at an institutional level began in the 1950s when President Bennett was appointed in 1950 to be the first director of US President Harry Truman's "Point Four Program," a technical assistance program for developing countries.[32] As part of the Point Four program, Oklahoma A&M College entered into an agreement in 1952 with the government of Ethiopia to establish a technical high school, an agricultural university, and an agricultural extension service there.[33] Faculty and staff from the Stillwater campus traveled to Ethiopia and established Jimma Agricultural Technical School (now Jimma University), the Imperial Ethiopian University of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts (now Haramaya University), and an agricultural and research station at Debra Zeit.[34] In recognition of the contributions of the OSU staff, Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie visited the Stillwater campus in 1954, the first foreign head of state to visit Oklahoma and the only one to visit Stillwater.[35][36]

On May 15, 1957, Oklahoma A&M changed its name to the Oklahoma State University of Agricultural and Applied Sciences, to reflect the broadening scope of its curriculum. Oklahoma Gov. Raymond Gary signed the bill authorizing the name change passed by the 26th Oklahoma Legislature on May 15, 1957. However, the bill only authorized the Board of Regents to change the college's name, a measure they voted on at their meeting on June 6. However, the name was quickly shortened to Oklahoma State University for most purposes, and the "Agricultural & Applied Sciences" name was formally dropped in 1980. Subsequently, the Oklahoma State University System was created, with the Stillwater campus as the flagship institution and several outlying branches: OSU-Institute of Technology in Okmulgee (1946), OSU-Oklahoma City (1961), OSU-Tulsa (1984), and the Center for Health Sciences also in Tulsa (1988).[37]
In 2005, OSU announced its "Campus Master Plan", a campaign to enhance academic, athletic, and administrative facilities. Over $800 million is earmarked for campus construction and renovation over twenty years. The Plan calls for an "athletic village", where all of the university's athletic facilities will be located on the main campus. To accomplish this goal, the athletic department bought all (or nearly all) the property north of Boone Pickens Stadium up to McElroy between Knoblock and Washington streets. The city of Stillwater and property owners criticized this land gram.[38] While the vast majority of the real estate was rental property appealing to college students, a few owners were longtime residents. A lone holdout in this parcel of land sued OSU over their right to use eminent domain to condemn and acquire their land.[39] The case was decided in favor of the university. The project includes constructing an indoor practice facility for most sports, a soccer stadium/outdoor track, a tennis complex, and a baseball stadium.
Edmon Low Library
In 2006, OSU received a gift of $165 million from an alumnus T. Boone Pickens to the university's athletic department, and in 2008 received another gift from Pickens, of $100 million for endowed academic chairs. It was the largest gift for academics ever given in the state.[40] Ethical concerns have been raised by the media questioning the propriety of some of the Pickens' gifts, which were in media reports about the propriety of how some of the Pickens gifts have been made, were immediately returned to Pickens, and then placed in hedge funds owned by Pickens' companies[41] In February 2010, Pickens announced that he was pledging another $100 million to fund a scholarship endowment as part of a $1 billion fund-raising campaign titled "Branding Success." The pledge brought the total pledged or contributed to OSU by Pickens to over $500 million.[42]
On October 24, 2015, during the annual homecoming parade, Adacia Chambers drove her vehicle into a crowd of people, killing 4 people and injuring 47. She faced 2nd-degree murder charges.[43]
Colleges[edit]
Oklahoma State University offers nearly 200 undergraduate degree majors through six Colleges:
Ferguson College of Agriculture (Previously the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources)
College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology
Spears School of Business
Center for Veterinary Health Sciences
OSU also has its main medical campus in Tulsa, Oklahoma called the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences. While a separate campus in the OSU System, the medical campus is jointly accredited with OSU-Stillwater as one institution. It houses the following schools and colleges:
College of Osteopathic Medicine
School of Forensic Sciences
School of Healthcare Administration
The medical campus has an affiliation with Oklahoma State University Medical Center for clinical training and offers residency/fellowship opportunities. Also with the medical school, OSU established a campus in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the capital of the Cherokee Nation and the nation's first, and currently only, tribally-affiliated medical school.[44]
In 2020, the College of Education and Human Sciences was created, which merged the College of Human Sciences and College of Education, Health, and Aviation into a single college. In August 2021, the university announced the creation of the Oklahoma Aerospace Institute for Research and Education (OAIRE).[45]
OSU provides further opportunities for select students to study through the Honors College.
The graduate degree programs of all colleges are administered through the Graduate College.
The Center for Veterinary Health Sciences (CVHS) has three academic Departments: Veterinary Pathobiology, Physiological Sciences, and Veterinary Clinical Sciences. Each of the three academic departments share responsibility for the four-year professional curriculum leading to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degree. The interdepartmental Veterinary Biomedical Sciences graduate program offers MS and Ph.D. degrees. It also offers ECFVG and PAVE programmes for foreign-trained veterinarians.
The School of Global Studies and Partnerships (prior to 2017 the School of International Studies) offers a Masters of Science in Global Studies, as well as serving as the administrative hub for the university's international activities. It incorporates several units, including:

It typically attracts around 1,000 spectators.
OSU is home to the Unmanned Systems Research Institute which focuses on autonomous systems research, particularly unmanned aircraft. The campus wide institute was created in 2015. In addition to STEM and outreach, USRI serves the campus and statewide UAS needs. Along with Counter-UAS projects, high-profile activities include using unmanned aircraft for advanced weather observations. The institute has led several large national efforts, including NSF and NASA ULI programs, in this area.
OSU's Homecoming was awarded the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) Seal of Excellence. Presented each year by the Oklahoma State University Alumni Association, "America's Greatest Homecoming Celebration" began in 1913 and today draws more than 70,000 alumni and fans back to Stillwater for events like the Harvest Carnival, Walkaround and Sea of Orange Parade. It is widely regarded as one of the best homecoming celebrations in the U.S.[18]
Each year the School of Entrepreneurship hosts the "Experiential Classroom", an intensive 3-day seminar for entrepreneurship educators. It has been widely recognized as being the top program of its kind. In 2011, the program hosted entrepreneurship faculty from 29 states, 17 countries, and 65 different universities.[65]

Housing[edit]
Current university-owned housing options include 31 residence halls, more than 15 dining options, and six family-first apartment complexes. In recent years, on-campus housing has been undergoing significant transformation. Student living was previously dominated by traditional residence halls; however, apartment-style buildings now comprise approximately half of the living quarters.[67] In 2005, the high-rise Willham North and South residence halls that once dominated the Stillwater skyline were demolished and replaced with the Village suites on its site.[68] Iba Hall, another traditional hall, was closed in 2007, but was reopened in 2011 due to an increase of incoming freshman.[69] In 2017, Iba Hall underwent significant renovations which lasted through most of that year, before reopening in time for the Fall 2018 semester.
Iba, Parker, Wentz and Stout Halls continue to offer traditional residence hall accommodations. In addition, three residence halls were opened in the fall of 2015, collectively known as the University Commons. North houses female students, south houses male students, and west is a co-ed facility that also houses the twenty-four-hour service desk for the area. Although Kerr-Drummond was slated to be closed with the opening of the University Commons, Drummond was reopened in fall 2015 due to increased occupancy of campus housing.[70] Kerr was closed and is scheduled for demolition in the coming years. Apartments for single students are Bost, Davis, Morsani-Smith, Peterson-Friend, Kamm, Sitlington and Young Halls. Housing in suite-style accommodations are provided in the named Village CASNR (College of Agricultural Science and Natural Resources), Village HS (Human Sciences), Village C, Village D, Village E and Village F. Deluxe suites are provided in Patchin & Jones, Bennett, Zink & Allen, and Stinchcomb & Booker Halls.[71] Graduate students and families are offered accommodations in seven apartment "neighborhoods" with a variety of floor plans and amenities: Brumley, Demaree, Prosser, Stevens, West, and Williams.[67]
Additionally, a number of learning communities and special interest housing options are available, providing opportunity for students who share interests or majors to live together. Most of these communities occupy certain floors of buildings or halls, rather than consisting of separate buildings. Included among the options are: FIT (Freshman in Transition, College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources), athletic training, career exploration (College of Arts and Sciences), computer science floor, engineering floors, health and sciences floor, HS housing (College of Human and Environmental Sciences), journalism and broadcasting housing, Kamm Leadership House, Ketchum House (Native American interests), James Building (Young Engineers House), Maude's Quad (Women in Engineering House), Recovery House (students recovering from drug and/or alcohol dependence), Spanish House (language immersion), Spears School of Business House, Stout Honors housing (University's Honors Program), Uhuru House (African Centered Cultural House), Wellness House, and The Transfer Zone (transfer students).[citation needed]
Fraternity and sorority life[edit]
Oklahoma State University's fraternities and sororities celebrated 100 years of existence at OSU in 2008.
Social fraternities and sororities at Oklahoma State are divided among four councils: Panhellenic, Interfraternity, National Pan-Hellenic and Multicultural.
Thirteen national Panhellenic sororities have chapters at OSU. They are: Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Xi Delta, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Phi Mu, Pi Beta Phi, and Zeta Tau Alpha.
Twenty-two fraternities make up the Interfraternity Council. Member fraternities include: Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Sigma Phi, Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Beta Upsilon Chi, Delta Tau Delta, FarmHouse, Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Tau, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Tau Gamma, and Theta Chi.
NPHC member organizations are historically black fraternities and sororities. As of the 2018–2019 school year, Alpha Phi Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, and Zeta Phi Beta have chapters at OSU.
The Multicultural Greek Council is the umbrella organization for additional minority Greek letter groups. Member organizations include Alpha Pi Omega, Kappa Delta Chi, Sigma Lambda Alpha, Sigma Lambda Beta, Omega Delta Phi.

NFL players Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas also attended OSU, as did baseball All-Star pitcher Joe Horlen and All-Star third baseman Robin Ventura. Ventura went on to manage the Chicago White Sox for five seasons. Also in the NFL are former Cowboys Dez Bryant and Dan Bailey of the Dallas Cowboys, and Kevin Williams of the Minnesota Vikings. Retired MMA and UFC Hall of Famers Randy Couture and Don Frye, and former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks wrestled at OSU. Former UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier wrestled at the university, as well as other MMA fighters including Mark Muñoz. PGA professional golfers Rickie Fowler, Scott Verplank, Bo Van Pelt, Charles Howell III, Bob Tway, Hunter Mahan, Viktor Hovland, Kristoffer Ventura, Talor Gooch and Matthew Wolff also attended OSU. Two-time gold medalist, ESPN analyst, and ASA Hall of Fame inductee Michele Mary Smith played softball at OSU. Houston Nutt and Brent Guy, both former players and teammates, became head coaches after serving as assistants for the Cowboy football program.

Deric's MindBlog: Predicting whether you are going to vote.
Predicting whether you are going to vote.
People are regularly asked to report on their likelihoods of carrying out consequential future behaviors, including complying with medical advice, completing educational assignments, and voting in upcoming elections. Despite these stated self-predictions being notoriously unreliable, they are used to inform many strategic decisions. We report two studies examining stated self-prediction about whether citizens will vote. We find that most self-predicted voters do not actually vote despite saying they will, and that campaign callers can discern which self-predicted voters will not actually vote. In study 1 (n = 4,463), self-predicted voters rated by callers as "100% likely to vote" were 2 times more likely to actually vote than those rated unlikely to vote. Study 2 (n = 3,064) replicated this finding and further demonstrated that callers' prediction accuracy was mediated by citizens' nonverbal signals of uncertainty and deception. Strangers can use nonverbal signals to improve predictions of follow through on self-reported intentions—an insight of potential value for politics, medicine, and education.

Synergy and discounting of cooperation in social dilemmas.

The emergence and maintenance of cooperation by natural selection is an enduring conundrum in evolutionary biology, which has been studied using a variety of game theoretical models inspired by different biological situations. The most widely studied games are the Prisoner's Dilemma, the Snowdrift game and by-product mutualism for pairwise interactions, as well as Public Goods games in larger groups of interacting individuals. Here, we present a general framework for cooperation in social dilemmas in which all the traditional scenarios can be recovered as special cases. In social dilemmas, cooperators provide a benefit to the group at some cost, while defectors exploit the group by reaping the benefits without bearing the costs of cooperation. Using the concepts of discounting and synergy for describing how benefits accumulate when more than one cooperator is present in a group of interacting individuals, we recover the four basic scenarios of evolutionary dynamics given by (i) dominating defection, (ii) coexistence of defectors and cooperators, (iii) dominating cooperation and (iv) bi-stability, in which cooperators and defectors cannot invade each other. Generically, for groups of three or more interacting individuals further, more complex, dynamics can occur. Our framework provides the first unifying approach to model cooperation in different kinds of social dilemmas.
10.1016/j.jtbi.2005.08.040
Full classification of the evolutionary dynamics for discounted and synergistically enhanced benefits of cooperation in social dilemma interactions in groups of arbitrary size. The average payoff of cooperators, fC (solid line), and defectors, fD (dashed line) is shown as a function of the frequency of cooperators x for different discount/synergy factors w. a Defection dominates for b/N < c and w < wc = (c/b)1/(N–1) (fD > fC for all x). This corresponds to Public Goods (Prisoner's Dilemma) interactions. b For larger benefits (b/N > c, w < wc) the game dynamics has a stable equilibrium x* (fC > fD for x < x* but fC < fD for x > x*). This generalizes the Snowdrift game to interactions in groups of arbitrary size. c For larger w > wc (b/N > c) cooperation becomes dominant (fC > fD for all x). This scenario describes by-product mutualism. d For b/N < c and w > wc the dynamics is bi-stable: for x < x* cooperators vanish (fD > fC) but for x > x* cooperators dominate (fC > fD). Parameters: N = 5, b = 10 and a c = 3, w = 3/4; b c = 1, w = 3/4; c c = 1, w = 4/3; d c = 3, w = 4/3.
Synergy and discounting of cooperation in social dilemmas
J Theor Biol. ;239(2):195-202.
Phase diagrams illustrating the different dynamical regimes. The dash-dotted line separates discounted and synergistically enhanced benefits (w = 1). a For any fixed group size (here N = 5) the dynamics is determined by the cost-to-benefit ratio c/b and the discount/synergy factor w. In the case of discounting (w < 1) decreasing c/b facilitates cooperation and may lead to transitions from dominant defection (Prisoner's Dilemma) to co-existence of cooperators and defectors (Snowdrift games) and finally to dominant cooperation (by-product mutualism). Along the dashed line the interior fixed point is x* = 0.5. Similarly, in the case of synergy (w > 1), increasing the benefits turns dominant defection into bi-stability and ends with dominant cooperation. Note that for w < 1 cooperators can only survive if cN/b < 1. This condition is not necessary for w > 1. Also note that coexistence requires w < 1 and bi-stability w > 1, whereas dominant cooperation or defection can occur for w greater, less or equal to one. Increasing N leaves the qualitative results unchanged and merely increases the slope of the boundary between co-existence and cooperation (defection and bi-stability) but it always runs through cN/b = w = 1. b Dynamics as determined by group size N and discount/synergy w for c/b = 2/10. Decreasing N favors cooperation by increasing the domain of cooperation, decreasing the domain of defection and, additionally, by shifting the co-existence equilibrium towards cooperation as well as by increasing the basin of attraction of the cooperative state in the case of bi-stable dynamics. The dashed line again marks x* = 0.5.
Multiple interior equilibria can occur in groups of N ≥ 3 interacting individuals. Positions of stable (solid line) and unstable (dashed line) equilibria are shown as a function of the discount/synergy factor w, which acts as a bifurcation parameter. a An unstable interior fixed point appears upon increasing w and the dynamics changes from dominating defection to bi-stability (b/N < c). b Same as a but including competition among defectors within each group (see ). This introduces a saddle-node bifurcation as w is increased, such that cooperators either go extinct or co-exist with a small fraction of defectors. For further increases in w the stable interior equilibrium leaves the interval (0, 1) resulting in a transcritical bifurcation which leads to bi-stability. c Cooperators and defectors have different discount/synergy factors w and v, respectively (see ). For b/N > c and larger v the region of co-existence extends into the realm of synergy (w > 1). This never happens in the case v = w (c.f. ). d Same as c but for smaller v: another saddle-node bifurcation occurs as w is decreased, which changes the regime of dominant cooperation into a regime of bi-stability, where pure cooperation as well as co-existence with a minority of cooperators are stable. Decreasing w further leads to another transcritical bifurcation as the unstable equilibrium leaves (0, 1) and results in globally stable coexistence.

Cutting of metal sheets is a key application in material processing and high power diode lasers gain further importance in this field due to their exceptionally good current to light conversion efficiency. Both, power scaling and process optimization are under investigation to improve the performance of this application. We report first results of a laser system combining these approaches. The presented diode laser power scaling is realized by means of an asymmetric, noncircular beam shape. The beam parameter product of the laser light is manipulated accordingly. In addition, the power scaling of this approach allows the generation of spot geometries which inherently support the interaction processes of the laser light with materials as metals. The setup is based on conventional, highly reliable and well tested principles and components, as they are passively cooled laser diode bars, coarse wavelengths coupling and fiber delivery. First results of material processing with stainless steel of 6 mm thickness are presented.


text:
Thutmose II (sometimes read as Thutmosis or Tuthmosis II, Thothmes in older history works in Latinized Greek; Ancient Egyptian: /ḏḥwty.ms/ Djehutymes, meaning "Thoth is born") was the fourth Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. His reign is generally dated from 1493 to 1479 BC. His body was found in the Deir el-Bahri Cache above the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and can be viewed today in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo.

Family

Thutmose II was the son of Thutmose I and a minor wife, Mutnofret. He was, therefore, a lesser son of Thutmose I and chose to marry his fully royal half-sister, Hatshepsut, in order to secure his kingship. While he successfully put down rebellions in Nubia and the Levant and defeated a group of nomadic Bedouins, these campaigns were specifically carried out by the king's Generals, and not by Thutmose II himself. This is often interpreted as evidence that Thutmose II was still a minor at his accession. Thutmose II fathered Neferure with Hatshepsut, as well as a male heir, the famous Thutmose III, by a lesser wife named Iset before his death.

Some archaeologists believe that Hatshepsut was the real power behind the throne during Thutmose II's rule because of the similar domestic and foreign policies that were later pursued under her reign and because of her claim that she was her father's intended heir. She is depicted in several raised relief scenes from a Karnak gateway dating to Thutmose II's reign both together with her husband and alone. She later had herself crowned Pharaoh several years into the rule of her husband's young successor Thutmose III; this is confirmed by the fact that "the queen's agents actually replaced the big boy king's name in a few places with her own cartouches" on the gateway.

Manetho's Epitome refers to Thutmose II as "Chebron" (a reference to his prenomen, Aakheperenre) and gives him a reign of 13 years, but this figure is highly disputed among scholars. Some Egyptologists prefer to shorten his reign by a full decade to only three years because his highest Year Date is only a Year 1 II Akhet day 8 stele.

Dates and length of reign

Manetho's Epitome has been a debated topic among Egyptologists with little consensus given the small number of surviving documents for his reign, but a 13-year reign is preferred by older scholars while newer scholars prefer a shorter 3-4 year reign for this king due to the minimal amount of scarabs and monuments attested under Thutmose II. It is still possible to estimate when Thutmose II's reign would have begun by means of a heliacal rise of Sothis in Amenhotep I's reign, which would give him a reign from 1493 to 1479 BC, although uncertainty about how to interpret the rise also permits a date from 1513 to 1499 BC, and uncertainty about how long Thutmose I ruled could also potentially place his reign several years earlier still. Nonetheless, scholars generally assign him a reign from 1493 or 1492 to 1479.

Argument for a short reign

Ineni, who was already aged by the start of Thutmose II's reign, lived through this ruler's entire reign into that of Hatshepsut. In addition, Thutmose II is poorly attested in the monumental record and in the contemporary tomb autobiographies of New Kingdom officials. A clear count of monuments from his rule, which is the principal tool for estimating a king's reign when dated documents are not available, is nearly impossible because Hatshepsut usurped most of his monuments, and Thutmose III in turn reinscribed Thutmose II's name indiscriminately over other monuments. However, apart from several surviving blocks of buildings erected by the king at Semna, Kumma, and Elephantine, Thutmose II's only major monument consists of a limestone gateway at Karnak that once lay at the front of the Fourth Pylon's forecourt. Even this monument was not completed in Thutmose II's reign but in the reign of his son Thutmose III, which hints at "the nearly ephemeral nature of Thutmose II's reign". The gateway was later dismantled and its building blocks incorporated into the foundation of the Third Pylon by Amenhotep III.

In 1987, Luc Gabolde published an important study that statistically compared the number of surviving scarabs found under Thutmose I, Thutmose II and Hatshepsut. While monuments can be usurped, scarabs are so small and comparatively insignificant that altering their names would be impractical and without profit; hence, they provide a far better insight into this period. Hatshepsut's reign is believed to have lasted for 21 years and 9 months. Gabolde highlighted, in his analysis, the consistently small number of surviving scarabs known for Thutmose II compared to Thutmose I and Hatshepsut respectively; for instance, Flinders Petrie's older study of scarab seals noted 86 seals for Thutmose I, 19 seals for Thutmose II and 149 seals for Hatshepsut while more recent studies by Jaeger estimate a total of 241 seals for Thutmose I, 463 seals for Hatshepsut and only 65 seals for Thutmose II. Hence, unless there was an abnormally low number of scarabs produced under Thutmose II, this would indicate that the king's reign was rather short-lived. On this basis, Gabolde estimated Thutmose I and II's reigns to be approximately 11 and 3 full years, respectively. Consequently, the reign length of Thutmose II has been a much debated subject among Egyptologists with little consensus given the small number of surviving documents for his reign.

Argument for a long reign

Thutmose's reign is still traditionally given as 13 or 14 years. Although Ineni's autobiography can be interpreted to say that Thutmose reigned only a short time, it also calls Thutmose II a "hawk in the nest", indicating that he was perhaps a child when he assumed the throne. Since he lived long enough to father two children—Neferure and Thutmose III—this suggests that he may have had a longer reign of 13 years in order to reach adulthood and start a family. The German Egyptologist, J. Von Beckerath, uses this line of argument to support the case of a 13-year reign for Thutmose II. Alan Gardiner noted that at one point a monument had been identified by Georges Daressy in 1900, dated to Thutmose's 18th year, although its precise location has not been identified. This inscription is now usually attributed to Hatshepsut, who certainly did have an 18th year. Von Beckerath observes that a Year 18 date appears in a fragmentary inscription of an Egyptian official and notes that the date likely refers to Hatshepsut's prenomen Maatkare, which had been altered from Aakheperenre Thutmose II, with the reference to the deceased Thutmose II being removed. There is also the curious fact that Hatshepsut celebrated her Sed Jubilee in her Year 16, which von Beckerath believes occurred 30 years after the death of Thutmose I, her father, who was the main source of her claim to power. This would create a gap of 13 to 14 years where Thutmose II's reign would fit in between Hatshepsut and Thutmose I's rule. Von Beckerath additionally stresses that Egyptologists have no conclusive criteria to statistically evaluate the reign length of Thutmose II based on the number of preserved objects from his reign.

Catherine Roerig has proposed that tomb KV20, generally believed to have been commissioned by Hatshepsut, was the original tomb of Thutmose II in the Valley of the Kings. If correct, this would be a major project on the part of Thutmose II, which required a construction period of several years and implies a long reign for this king. Secondly, new archaeological work by French Egyptologists at Karnak has produced evidence of a pylon and an opulent festival court of Thutmose II in front of the 4th pylon according to Luc Gabolde. Meanwhile, French Egyptologists at Karnak have also uncovered blocks from a chapel and a barque sanctuary constructed by Thutmose II there. Finally, Zygmunt Wysocki has proposed that the funerary temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari was originally begun as Thutmose II's own mortuary temple. Thutmose III here later replaced depictions of Hatshepsut with those by Thutmose II in those parts of the temple that are proposed to have been executed by the latter king before Hatshepsut took over the temple following Thutmose II's death. Thutmose II also contributed to the decoration of the temple of Khnum at Semna.

A reconsideration of this new archaeological evidence would remove several arguments usually advanced in support of a short reign: namely the absence of a tomb that can be assigned to Thutmose II, the absence of a funerary temple and the lack of any major works undertaken by this pharaoh. Thutmose II's Karnak building projects would also imply that his reign was closer to 13 years rather than just 3 years.

Archaeologists from Warsaw University's Institute of Archaeology led by Andrzej Niwiński have discovered a treasure chest and a wooden box dated 3,500 years back in the Egyptian site of Deir el-Bahari in March 2020.

The stone chest consisted of several items and all of them covered with linen canvas. Three bundles of flax were found during the excavation. A goose skeleton was found inside one of them, sacrificed for religious purposes. The second one included goose eggs. It is believed that what the third bundle contained was an ibis egg which had a symbolic meaning for the ancient Egyptians. In addition, a little wooden trinket box was discovered inside the bundle, believed to contain the name Pharaoh Thutmose II.

According to the Andrzej Niwiński, "The chest itself is about 40 cm long, with a slight smaller height. It was perfectly camouflaged, looked like an ordinary stone block. Only after a closer look did it turn out to be a chest."

Campaigns
Upon Thutmose's coronation, Kush rebelled, as it had the habit of doing upon the transition of Egyptian kingship. The Nubian state had been completely subjugated by Thutmose I, but some rebels from Khenthennofer rose up, and the Egyptian forces retreated into a fortress built by Thutmose I. On account of his relative youth at the time, Thutmose II dispatched an army into Nubia rather than leading it himself, but he seems to have easily crushed this revolt with the aid of his father's military generals. An account of the campaign is given by the historian Josephus who refers to it as the Ethiopic War.

Thutmose also seems to have fought against the Shasu Bedouin in the Sinai, in a campaign mentioned by Ahmose Pen-Nekhbet. Although this campaign has been called a minor raid, there is a fragment recorded by Kurt Sethe that records a campaign in Upper Retenu, or Syria, which appears to have reached as far as a place called Niy where Thutmose I hunted elephants after returning from crossing the Euphrates. This quite possibly indicates that the raid against the Shasu was only fought en route to Syria.

Mummy

Thutmose II's mummy was discovered in the Deir el-Bahri cache, revealed in 1881. He was interred along with other 18th and 19th dynasty leaders including Ahmose I, Amenhotep I, Thutmose I, Thutmose III, Ramesses I, Seti I, Ramesses II, and Ramesses IX. It included a label that indicated it had been re-wrapped in the Twenty-first Dynasty.

The mummy was unwrapped by Gaston Maspero on July 1, 1886. There is a strong familial resemblance to the mummy of Thutmose I, his likely father, as the mummy's face and shape of the head are very similar. The body of Thutmose II suffered greatly at the hands of ancient tomb robbers, with his left arm broken off at the shoulder-joint, the forearm separated at the elbow joint, and his right arm chopped off below the elbow. His anterior abdominal wall and much of his chest had been hacked at, possibly by an axe. In addition, his right leg had been severed from his body. All of these injuries were sustained post-mortem, though the body also showed signs that Thutmose II did not have an easy life, as the following quote by Gaston Maspero attests:

James Harris and Fawzia Hussien (1991) conducted an X-ray survey on New Kingdom royal mummies and examined the mummified remains of Thutmose II. The results of the study determined that the mummy of Thutmose II had a craniofacial trait measurement that is common among Nubian populations.

His mummy has the inventory number CG 61066. In April 2021 his mummy was moved from the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities to National Museum of Egyptian Civilization along with those of 17 other kings and 4 queens in an event termed the Pharaohs' Golden Parade. The identity of the mummy has been questioned. The re-wrapping label appears to identify him as Thutmose II but it may have been modified from Thutmose I.

As the Pharaoh of the Exodus
Thutmose II is one of the more popular candidates for the Biblical story of the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Alfred Edersheim proposes in his Old Testament Bible History that Thutmose II is best qualified to be the pharaoh of Exodus based on the fact that he had a brief, prosperous reign and then a sudden collapse with no son (except for Thutmose III) to succeed him. His widow Hatshepsut then became first Regent (for Thutmose III) then Pharaoh in her own right. Edersheim states that Thutmose II is the only Pharaoh's mummy to display cysts, possible evidence of plagues that spread through the Egyptian and Hittite Empires at that time. Additionally, when the chronologies given in the Bible are  understood at face value, the Exodus would have occurred in 1497 BC, roughly corresponding to the generally-accepted dates of Thutmose's reign.

How to Strengthen Bones: Have These 8 Things Done!
Bone strengthening gets to its peak when one is in adolescence but the rate at which the bone grows in strength begins to slow down once one turns 25. In addition to this normal bone loss, man is less likely to engage in high-impact, bone-strengthening exercises like jumping after the age of 50. This increases the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures and breaks. But, luckily, stronger bones can be built at any age.
The steps below are offered by experts to help you learn how to strengthen bones for as long as you live.
You must begin to take the health of your bones as your top priority when you are still young, long before you start approaching the age of menopause. We keep seeing a lot of women and some men in their mid thirties who already have some bone problems – a trend that has been traced to the unhealthy lifestyles they have been living since they were teenagers. All through your life, make it your duty to insist on eating nothing less than adequately balanced, healthy foods such as fish, fresh fruits, diary, and vegetables to keep your weight in the healthy range.
To most people, bones mean calcium and calcium means bones. This is one very essential mineral you must not ignore in your quest to know how to strengthen bones. Calcium encourages the growth of bones and teeth. It is also essential for effective muscle activities, good nerve signaling, adequate hormone secretions and blood pressure.
Some great sources of this essential mineral are cottage cheese, yoghurt, and several other low-fat dairy products. Other sources include fish with bones like salmon, whitebait and sardines.
For added benefits, serve these listed foods with some dark green leafy vegetables or broccoli which can also contain calcium. Some other snacks that can help build bones include dried figs, almonds, calcium-filled tofu and, if you like non-dairy foods, soy milk.
You can't find calcium without vitamin D: the two works like team members to enhance the calcium-absorbing power of the body. Boost the consumption of vitamin D by eating shrimps, fortified foods such as orange juice, cereal, eggs(in the yolks), sardines and tuna, or choose vitamin D supplements.
When exposed to the sun, the human body produces vitamin D: about 10-15 minutes of exposure 3 times a week will do. The importance of vitamin D to the health of your bones has been proven by various researches on seasonal bone loss – inadequate sun exposure can lead to the loss of bone mass in adults during the winter. Though these and several other researches on bone loss focused on elderly people mostly, bone health is more or less about prevention, so to get adequate stock of the all-important vitamin D, make sure you get enough sun exposure early in adulthood.
Most caffeine-containing beverages like coffee and cola, are linked to bone loss by some studies, though the specific relationship between the two is yet to be known. Some health professionals believe the main issue should be on getting healthier beverages like juice and milk as replacements for cola and coffee. It is advised that adults keep their daily caffeine intake within the range of 400mg or less.
Children and young adults below 18 are advised not to have caffeine, which has been linked to a number of developments and health issues. Caffeine will not stop growth in these children, but it can lead to a number of other problems like anxiety and palpitations.
Cola is known to contain phosphoric acid and this acid can lead to the leaching of calcium away from bones. Soft drinks such as lemon-lime soda and ginger ale that do not contain any phosphoric acid have no links to bone loss whatsoever, though the sugar-content of most of these drinks is not healthy for you.
Some caffeine-containing beverages, like black tea, have no association with bone loss.
Smoking increases the speed at which your bones can be depleted. Female smokers have been found to have much lower estrogen levels and tend to experience menopause at a much younger age, and these two conditions speed up the bone loss process.
If you are in the habit of drinking, make sure you do not take it beyond two drinks per day as a man and no more than one drink per day as a woman. Anything above this will hinder your body's ability to take in calcium and will also slow down the formation of new bones.
Just like alcohol and caffeine, salty food can cause calcium loss in your body and can also accelerate bone loss. Processed foods are known to come with high salt content, so reduce your intake. When you eat these foods, search for brands that either have low or no salt content.
To keep most health problems at arm's length, it is important you engage in regular exercises. Bone health also benefits from this tip.
A s a matter of fact, experts have identified a sedentary lifestyle as one of the major risk factors for osteoporosis. According to one study that compared bone density among college women with varying body weights and different levels of activities discovered that athletes that have low body weight possessed the highest bone density among any group in this study, which shows that exercises and low body weight can affect bone density positively.
What exercise can be considered most effective in this regard? Weight-enduring exercises are simply ideal. These exercises involve the activities that help you move against gravity while you are standing upright. These weight-bearing exercises can be either high-impact or low-impact.
All high-impact weight-enduring exercises are ideal for building your bones and strengthening them. There may be need for you to avoid high-impact exercises if you have ever broken a bone in the past as a result of osteoporosis or stand the risk of breaking a bone. Check with your healthcare provider if you are not sure.
You can do this for about 30 minutes on a stretch on most days in the week. You can do a 30 minute session or a number of sessions at different times on the same day. Whichever way you choose to do them, they will deliver the same benefits to your bone.
Your calcium intake ought to be increased as you grow older, which makes it a challenge to get all the calcium you need from your food alone. The United States recommend a daily intake of about 1000 mg of calcium from your 20s to your 40s.
When you hit menopause as a woman, you will need between 1 000 – 1500 mg per day unless you are on any hormone therapy according to Jeffers. Men between 50 and 70 need about 1000 mg daily; while men who are over 70 need about 1200 mg per day.
And since your body can only absorb about 500 mg of calcium at once, divide your dosages all through the day. Consult your doctor before you begin your calcium supplement intake to know the right amount you should take daily.

Biografia
All'età di dieci anni, insieme al resto della famiglia, raggiunge il padre, che già nel 1989 aveva lasciato il Marocco per trasferirsi a San Bonifacio, in Italia, per motivi di lavoro. Agli esordi, alterna allenamenti e partite al lavoro in fabbrica come operaio; impegno che successivamente abbandona con il passaggio tra i professionisti.

Caratteristiche tecniche
Attaccante alto quasi due metri, di corporatura esile, Arma è un buon finalizzatore ed è dotato di buona tecnica.

Carriera
Debutta nella Sambonifacese in Serie D, dove gioca e segna con continuità; nel 2008 si aggiudica anche i play-off nazionali. Lo nota così la SPAL che lo ingaggia per il campionato di Lega Pro Prima Divisione 2008-2009; qui, alla sua prima stagione tra i professionisti, conquista il titolo di vice-capocannoniere del girone con 14 reti (ad una sola marcatura da Francesco Zizzari) e diviene subito uno dei pezzi pregiati del mercato. L'inizio della seconda stagione tra le file degli spallini non delude le attese: mettendo a segno nel mese di agosto 2 reti in campionato e 4 in Coppa Italia, Arma fuga i restanti dubbi del Torino, che ne acquista le prestazioni a titolo di compartecipazione. Nella sua prima stagione in B gioca poco, ma sale agli onori della cronaca nella doppia finale play-off, durante la quale gli viene annullato un gol dubbio in casa e sigla l'unica rete del Toro nel ritorno a Brescia. La stagione si conclude così con la mancata promozione ed una sola rete in 14 presenze in maglia granata, ma a sorpresa i 4 gol segnati ad agosto con la SPAL gli portano in dote il titolo di capocannoniere della Coppa Italia, a pari merito con Alain Baclet e Adrian Mutu.
Restando in B, passa al Vicenza, transitando per Cittadella, dove viene impiegato saltuariamente e finisce pure per litigare con i tifosi, arrivando persino a gettare pubblicamente la maglia a terra in preda ad uno sfogo d'ira. Nel luglio 2011, scende di categoria e torna alla SPAL in prestito, dove disputa un ottimo campionato e conquista per la seconda volta il titolo di vice-capocannoniere, con 18 gol in 34 presenze, a tre lunghezze da Ciro Ginestra. Tuttavia non riesce a salvare la squadra, che retrocede dopo aver perso i play-out. Causa insolvenze societarie si trasferisce al Carpi, dove contribuisce alla storica promozione in Serie B dei carpigiani (tramite play-off). Successivamente passa al Pisa, dove raggiunge nuovamente i play-off, trascinando la squadra a suon di reti. Pur inanellando buone prestazioni non riesce a portare i toscani in B, pertanto decide di trasferirsi prima alla Reggiana e poi al Pordenone. In neroverde con 17 reti in campionato giunge per l'ennesima volta alle spalle del capocannoniere del girone (in questa occasione a 5 lunghezze da Leonardo Mancuso); marcature che però al contempo trainano la squadra fino alla semifinale play-off poi persa ai rigori contro il Parma, saltata da Rachid per infortunio patito nel turno precedente. Per la settima stagione consecutiva in terza divisione (la prima dal ritorno alla denominazione originaria di Serie C), Arma si trasferisce alla Triestina.. Nell'agosto 2018 torna a Vicenza  che lascerà a parametro zero al termine della stagione 2019/2020.
Nella stagione successiva resta vicino a casa e si accorda con la .

Nell'agosto del 2022 firma un contratto annuale con il Chievo Sona in Serie D.

I AM BACK! WITH A WRAP UP POST FOR OCTOBER….. where I read one book. for the entire month. one book.
In my defense though, I just started college. I honestly didn't expect it to consume most of my time and by the time classes are done, I really don't have the energy to read more than 30 pages. So, that explains my reading progress and lack of posts.
I mean, i do love blogging and I want to post at least once a week ( which is a November goal). BUT IT IS SO HARD!! Like, how do you super human creatures out there, have time to post at least once a week?
Anyway, my life outside of books now just revolves around college and scrolling through Twitter, which is my favorite social media platform to talk books. I also have to post more on my bookstagram.
So I don't even know why i need a wrap up post because I don't have that much to talk about. However, I haven't been blogging that much at all and I decided that while I had some free time, I might as well.
I am so glad I finally got to reading this series. It was just so well written and a really great read.
I know that it's marketed as a love story, but it is much more than that. If you are looking for a good romance and also a book with a great plot and characters, this book should definitely be your next read.
I am international blogger, as you guys know, and one of the struggles we face is with ARCs ( Advanced Reader Copies) and the fact that they aren't as available to us, especially when it comes to the physical copies.
I love Emma and her October went great, unlike mine so check it out here.
If you are confused as to how Edelweiss works, this post by Kaleena should help!
So that is a wrap on this post! Tell me how your October went in the comments below!!
You should totally get to it. Best one out of the entire series actually.
omg double yay and thank you!!!
You're welcome! I love your blog btw.
Uni's a bit stressful true enough, but you'll get the hang of it soon. 😊 Blogging and reading can be tough to do at the same time, but it's a great thing to do while destressing. But at the same time, no pressure on you. It's always okay to post on your own pace.
On the bright side, hey! At least you read a book this month and you enjoyed it. I call that a win. Anyways, I hope you'll have a fantastic November ahead. Cheers!
Thank you so much Bianca! True, November has been a much a better month for me so far.
I am glad your read last month was a good one, and don't beat yourself up about the adjustment period with college! It is a lot of work and your education should take priority. Good luck and happy reading!
Thank you so much Kaleena!


If you're a journalist or a publisher that should be a call to action.
The numbers are astounding. The top three SM sites – FaceBook, Twitter and LinkedIn – have a total of 2.3 billion active user accounts (almost half using mobile devices). And, collectively, they produce over 30,000 posts and messages per second, around the clock and around the planet in over 70 languages. And there are dozens of other social media sites and apps, drawing tens of millions more, many of them in the hard-to-reach 16-28 crowd.
Many of our publishing clients draw over 30% of their site traffic from social media, and it's growing. For most of them, social now drives more visits than direct, search-based or paid promotions. People get the key elements of a news event on social sites from posts by others there. And, if they want to see more, they'll follow links or mentions in these posts to the original stories online.
Most publications are active in social media, with editorial, marketing and audience development people reaching out to draw traffic and revenue back to their own sites. Sadly, much of this social media outreach (SMO), especially from journalists and editors, still feels like a me-too lip service exercise.
Most newsrooms we work in – newspapers, magazines or TV – are made up of about 15% digital keeners, 15% old-school journalists who still have not embraced the new era and the huge group in the middle – the 70% who try to think digital-first and are active to varying degrees on social media. That's the most promising group, because that's where most of the change will happen.
The key message to them is simple – news and opinion is not a one-sided 'schedule and destination' business any more. For decades, the news media gathered and polished news and opinion on their own schedules and delivered it to specific destinations for their audience to consume (the morning paper, the evening TV news, etc.).
Today, anyone with a laptop, tablet or smartphone can post their own news and opinion, complete with photos or videos, anywhere online in minutes, day or night. More importantly, social media is increasingly the place where news is posted, discovered, consumed and discussed 24/7, poaching audience and revenue from traditional news organizations.
Social media, then, is the new battlefield where journalists and publishers must reach out to inform and engage their audiences, building brand and traffic back to their own sites to generate ad and subscription revenue. Savvy publishers and editors have already accepted this new reality and are moving social media outreach into the very heart of their work every day. People still like to tell and read stories, so they're a valuable social currency.
To get people on social media to discover your content and engage with it in some fashion, ideally sharing it with others – audience engagement is the new oxygen, and this can extend your reach dramatically.
To build your brand online, either as a news organization and/or as an individual journalist.
To bring traffic back to your own site or app, driving ad and/or subscription revenue.If your social media posts are not driving these metrics (especially the last one) you're wasting your time and effort.
Post early and often. Social media content needs to be brief and current. Two or three sentences (and maybe a quick photo) when a story is breaking beats five paragraphs later on. Best practice in many newsrooms is a short SM post first, then a second SM post and a short initial story for the web site as the story develops, and later, if the story dictates, a final version of the story for the web site and the next print edition or broadcast.
Twitter is fast but ephemeral – it builds buzz and brand visibility but not a lot of traffic to your site. The celebrities who tweet and their millions of followers make it seem bigger than it really is.
FaceBook, with three times the audience of Twitter, is a bit slower, a lot more engaging and drives traffic to your site. Most news sites get six to eight times more traffic from FaceBook than Twitter, so FaceBook is their focus with SMO work.
Say it with pictures. Or charts. Or Info-graphics. Or maps. Or an editorial cartoon. Tell your story visually whenever possible. A striking photo with a short caption is much more likely to get shared than a text-only post.
Keep is short and sweet for the mobile user. About half of social media users are on mobile devices, primarily smartphones with small screens. Keep your posts short and easily-digestible for them – a couple of sentences and a picture or short video works best.
Posting important or striking statistics or lists of tips or resources offers practical value which people like to share with others.
When framing or writing your SM posts try and incorporate one or more of these elements to boost sharing.
Watch how your posts are doing, and react accordingly. If one of your posts is generating a lot of discussion you need to be IN that discussion. Don't just slide your posts under the door and move on. But give up on the idea that you can really control it – be a friendly participant, not 'the expert' or the would-be boss.
Focus on value in your posts (see #7 above), not just clickbait. Don't just tease the story or list – give them the key content (briefly). People are increasingly negative about teaselines, and, worse, FaceBook, Google and Twitter are changing their relevance algorithms to increasingly punish this type of content.
Understand that social media, done properly, can drive a lot of traffic back to your site, but not necessarily engagement there. Research shows that visitors coming in from social media have shorter visit lengths (and less page views) that visitors coming in from other sources. Better (and clearer) site design, navigation and content architecture drives user engagement with your content – which is essential to build a loyal audience.

The house is. on a small, wooded lot on the west side of Main Street. The two outbuildings are a single-story shed with German siding and a two-car garage to the rear of the house.
Record ID: 54
Current Owner: Korn, Myra D.
Historic Name: William S. Scranton House
The most distinctive feature of this house is its wide, hip-roofed, wrap-around verandah which runs the length of the facade, and returns to the south ell. Characterized by a projecting curve at the southeast corner it has an irregular top balustrade with turned balusters, sawn scroll brackets, and turned posts. The full-size, louvre-shuttered windows of the house contain 2×2 sash.
The 2 story, 2 bay, cross-gable William Scranton House was built in 1870. Its post-and beam frame has an entry in the south side ell, is aluminum sided, and rests on a mortared sandstone foundation. The roof is asphalt-shingled. In 1870, Simeon S, Scranton, a prosperous Durham farmer, received from Charles L. Scranton the large lot (with the Colonial period dwelling house upon it) at the southwest corner of Main Street and Talcott Lane. Within the year, as the 1870 plot map of Durham testifies, Simeon had built a smaller house to the south. The house was occupied by William S. Scranton, Simeon's son, until Simeon built built William a new house on the northwest corner of Main Street and Talcott Lane. In 1902, the building passed out of Scranton hands. Twenty years later, it became the property of Francis E. Korn. Distinguished for its fine original porch, this house adds to the architectural variety of Main Street.
