We're doing lots of work at Michael Drayton Junior to learn about the wildlife that is in our school grounds. We are lucky enough to have a super site and, as we continue to develop with wildlife in mind, the habitats are reaping rewards!
For me, the key to engaging kids is to help them connect with the wildlife that they can encounter almost every day; the wildlife that is on their doorstep. The more time they spend in their local environment, watching, learning and being involved, the more engaged they become. If they don't have this opportunity, then it is easy for them to become detached from the natural world, at which point why would they care about it?
I hope to get them involved and excited about wildlife, in a variety of projects, and one of those is through using the technology they love. You may have seen my previous blog post about the feeding platform I made with some of the pupils. They have been feeding the birds on here and setting up a Bushnell trail cam, with a close up lens and then collecting the footage each week. As part of Big School Birdwatch, we have been using this footage to record the species visiting and it is also helping them learn to identify different species of birds. The fact that they built the platform, collected leftovers from school dinner, fed the birds with these leftovers, along with bird seed, set up the camera and collected the footage has given them ownership and they WANT to find out more and learn more. I wish I had videoed their reaction this week when we uploaded the buzzard footage… the excitement was so heartwarming… it just makes my heart swell. We are making memories at school and forging passions and interests that could last a lifetime…. it is a very powerful position to be in.
We have stunning jay pair now visiting quite regularly….
The highlight for all of us was this week's buzzard footage. What a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about birds of prey, look at their adaptations and learn to love the beauty of the natural world. The are now always on the look out for them soaring over our school field and are always coming to tell me where they have seen them.
I wrote about RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch a few weeks ago. There is also the Big School Birdwatch, that runs up until 22nd February, asking schools to carry out bird watches and submit results as well. This year, I took children from every year group out and we will share our results in an assembly on Monday.
Armed with binoculars and checklists, we worked our way around the grounds, spending time at our bird hide and watching our feeding stations. A big thank you to CJ Wildlife who have supported our school, providing us with a great poster for our hide and a feeding station.
We spent the hour watching, listening and recording the species we saw and the kids were really interested and engaged. Many have never used binoculars before and loved using them to get closer to the wildlife we spotted (many also liked using the binoculars back to front so everything looked far away)!
We will be filming a piece with BBC Midlands Today on Tuesday showcasing the wonderful work that these children have done … we are VERY excited!! Watch this space… the piece should go out later next week…..

Ski in Greece Mount Parnassus.
Ski resort Mount Parnassus... Korykion/ Corycian cave on Slopes of mount Parnassus... Visit ski resort Parnassos, 200km from Athens. Greece taxi minivan service
Making tracks in the snowy Med ...Many don't put ''Greece'' and ''ski'' together in the same sentence, but cold weather aficionados have known for years (since 1928 in fact) that alpine wonderlands around the south Mediterranean's mountainous regions are nothing to be sniffed at. When the cold sets in from December to April and even later up north, ski and snowboard fans alike will be up at the crack of dawn making their way to one of 20- odd Grecian hills that are cheaper than their north European counterparts, in large part because the vast majority are run by municipalities and local alpine clubs. The latter have helped care for the nation's winter heavens more than 70 ears under the Hellenic Ski Federation umbrella.
MOUNT PARNASSUS
MOUNT PARNASSUS 9
While some may not be of Swiss Alpine statue, the ski centers in the mountains of Greece are all respectable altitudes, ranging from 1400= to over 2400 meters - well within the range of many of the best resorts world-wide. Even with the effects of global warming, scientists (and global-makers) now reckon that 1,500 meters is the critical altitude or ''snow line'' where winter temperatures should remain at or below freezing. You can view our portfolio of photos here... Please share this website with your friends.
The heart of Greek winter beats on snow-covered mountain tops, where ski enthusiasts –craving for adventure– can experience the sought-after intensity and adrenaline rush. Escape in an idyllic white mountain setting where the cold mountain air puts human will and endurance to the test!
Skiing (and its alternative version, snowboarding) is undoubtedly the "king" of extreme sports; an exciting pastime offering a unique sense of freedom as the human body becomes attuned to the elements and forces of nature. Skiing appeared for the first time in Greece in the 1920's and has had rising numbers of devoted fans ever since. Today, after almost a century, countless adventure seekers turn the snow–covered mountain slopes across the country into "hot places" what with their passion and skill!
Although Greece is a country where the sun shines most of the year, it can also boast some very good skiing resorts with ultra modern facilities that can satisfy even the most demanding skiers, offering an unforgettable experience down spectacular ski runs where the beauty of the alpine landscape is guaranteed to take your breath away.Enjoy a ski run in some of the best known skiing resorts of the country, and feast your eyes on the beauty of snow-clad mountaintops as you experience an overwhelming feeling of freedom.

Parnassos, Zeus granted Deukalion's wishes and the human race was created anew. Cross the runs on a mountain that stole the glory from Mt. Olympus as it was linked with the worship of god Apollo, and the establishment of the Oracle of Delphi.
SKI RESORT MOUNT PARNASSUS
WINTER TOURING
SKI TOURING MOUNT PARNASSOS
Greece Taxi Private tour takes you to Parnassus, the biggest Ski resort in Greece.
Ski Centers of Parnassus. This ski center is located in Central Greece, on the slopes of Parnassos Mountain. Constructed in 1976, the resort, regarded as the best resort for skiing in Greece, has two sites, Fterolakka and Kelaria, both of which offer some of the most adrenaline-pumping and extreme skiing experiences in the country. The resort is open everyday from December through March. The installations in Fterolakka are located at an altitude of 1600 meters, while Kelaria starts from 1750 meters. Both the ski sites terminate in Toumborachi, at an altitude of 2300 meters.
There is a total of 17 ski sites on the resort and they offer different levels of difficulty to suit both the amateur as well the highly experienced skiers. There are 13 lifts commuting between the base and the chalets. The resort is about 2 hours drive from Athens. Take the national road connecting to Lamia, passing from Thebes. Then follow the route towards Livadia and then to Arachova, which is 25 km from the resort.
Here are some of the ski runs you could chose to enter and cross, depending on your chosen level of difficulty:
Downhill ski runs at Kellária:
(a) Aphrodite (no 1): A blue, 1,500m long ski trail that leads to the chalet.
(b) Odysseus (no 8): A challenging 800m red run, maybe black at some points. The most difficult piste of the area that experienced skiers really love to cross.
(c) Hermes (no 11): A definitely blue run 700m in length.
(d) Run (no 16): Starting from the Zeus lift at Fterólakka, this run ends at the starting point of the chair lift Hermes at Kellária. It is actually a blue snow trail 1,400m in length.
(e) The runs Telemachus (no 3) and Pericles (no 15) are ideal for an early-in-the-morning warm-up.
(f) If you are just interested in taking up skiing lessons, experienced ski instructors waiting to show you the ropes at the two baby runs (120m & 50m in length) of the ski resort.
Share these slopes at Fterólakka with other skiers:
(a) Hera (no 7) & Pan (no 10): Two of the blue runs which are perfect for the beginners.
(b) Run no 7a: A really difficult red 850m long run. One of the most beautiful runs winding through the heart of a dense spruce forest.
(c) Charioteer (no 6): A red run widely known for its high degree of difficulty, and a great favourite for Greek skiers (1,000m in length). Together with the run "Bacchus (no 2a)" they are both approved by the International Ski Federation.
(d) Pythia (no 14): If you have completed the beginner's level, this blue run is the most suitable for you.
(e) Sahara (no 22): On Mt. Parnassos, this run brings to mind the biggest desert in the world! In fact, it has been described as the best red run at the ski resort. This 1,000m long piste links Kellária with Fterólakka, and can also be reached by the Zeus lift.
SKI IN GREECE
Parnassos Ski Resort
The slopes of Mount Parnassus are composed of two ski sections, Kellaria and Fterolakka, which together make up the largest ski center in Greece. A smaller ski center (only two drag lifts) called Gerontovrahos is across a ridge from Kellaria. Parnassus is mined for its abundant supply of bauxite which is converted to aluminium oxide and then to aluminium
The construction of the ski resort started in 1975 and was completed in 1976, when the first two drag lifts operated in Fterolaka. In 1981 the construction of a new ski area was completed in Kelaria, while in winter season 1987–1988 the chair lift Hermes started operating and connected the two ski areas. Both ski resorts continued expanding and in 1993 the first high-speed quad in Greece was installed, named Hercules. In 2014–2015 two new hybrid lifts were installed along with a new eight-seater, replacing the old infrastructure.
Today the Ski Center operates with 16 lifts, two hybrid ski lifts which combine an eight-seater Cabin and a six-seater chair, an eight-seater Cabin, a 4-seater chair lift, a 2-seater chair lift, 6 drag lifts and four baby lifts. The ski center boasts 25 marked ski runs and about 15 ski routes of 36 km (22 mi) total length while the longest run is 4 km (2 mi).

Q: How can I copy a .dll file into a docker image? I have a big problem:
I have to copy a .dll file into my Docker Image. I can't pull it from NuGet, because it's a private package and you can't pull it normally via a url and nuget.config.
I asked my colleagues and they said I should copy the file into the Docker Image.
Does someone have an idea how to do it?
I have copied this .dll file into my normal project directory. But I have no idea where to copy it or how to do that.
This is my DockerFile:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.1-buster-slim AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1-buster AS build
WORKDIR /src
COPY ["DoKiva/DoKiva.csproj", "DoKiva/"]
RUN dotnet restore "DoKiva/DoKiva.csproj"
COPY . .
WORKDIR "/src/DoKiva"
RUN dotnet build "DoKiva.csproj" -c Release -o /app/build

FROM build AS publish
RUN dotnet publish "DoKiva.csproj" -c Release -o /app/publish

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "DoKiva.dll"]

If you could help me I would really appreciate it!
My Docker Build Command is docker build -t dokivac .

A: The COPY command is what does this. It's first parameter is the source, relative to the Dockerfile and the second is the destination, relative to the current WORKDIR. You can use it to copy entire folders or single files. However as build is being run, have you tried just importing the DLL in your Visual Studio project, selecting properties and than copy the file as a build action. This way the DLL will be automatically moved to your build directory?

LeBron says he understands why fans are angry

LeBron James understands fans' anger
Brian WindhorstESPN Senior Writer
ESPN.com NBA writer since 2010
Covered Cleveland Cavs for seven years
Author of two books
ATLANTA -- If LeBron James wasn't LeBron James and instead was a Cavaliers fan living in Akron he might not like himself all that much right now.
James said Thursday he can relate to why many fans, especially from his home state, continue to be angry at him. But he also said people upset with his decision to sign with the Heat need to move on.
"If I was a fan and I was on the outside looking in, I could be upset a little bit if one of my favorite players left," James said. "Or if I felt like he betrayed us or whatever the case may be. But you have to get over it."
James later tweeted that he was not speaking specifically to Cavaliers' fans: "Let's clear this up! I never said to the Cavs fans to 'get over it.' I've never and will never say anything bad about them. 7 years of joy!"
James is an avid sports fan who regularly attends football games from his old high school to the NFL. As a supporter of the Yankees, Cowboys and Ohio State, he's actually having a tough week with all three having troubles lately.
That is why he says he can understand to the backlash he's received. But he is not about to apologize for it.
"Sports are very emotional and fans are very emotional," James said. "At times they really believe you may be related to them you and you sleep in their house. When you do something wrong and you leave their house they can become very emotional. I've understood that over the years. But at the same time, you have to understand you have to do what is best yourself."

Today is the centenary of the first exhumation of the relics of St. Therese of Lisieux. On September 6, 1910 the body of Sister Therese of the Child Jesus was exhumed from her grave in the Carmelite plot at the municipal cemetery at Lisieux for the first time. Therese had been buried here on the morning of October 4, 1897 after a funeral Mass at Lisieux Carmel. A small funeral procession followed her body to the cemetery that day. Her sister Leonie led them, since her uncle, Isidore Guerin, was ill. Isidore had recently bought this plot in the town cemetery for the use of the Carmelite nuns, and his niece Therese was the first to be buried there.
It was to this grave that the first pilgrims came, many to give thanks for favors and cures received from God through the intercession of Sister Therese. Some miracles took place at the tomb. On May 25, 1908, the mother of little Reine Fauquet, a four-year-old girl from Lisieux who was blind, brought her child to Therese's tomb. The next day the child's vision was suddenly restored. Dr. La Neele, Therese's cousin by marriage, who did not favor the introduction of her cause, nevertheless had to sign a certificate attesting to the cure. (See Therese and Lisieux by Pierre Descouvement and Helmut-Nils Loose. Toronto, Ontario: Novalis, 1996, p. 316).
Bishop Lemonnier of Bayeux prays with the Archbishop of Paris at Therese's grave.
Though Therese had died less than thirteen years before, the process to inquire into her sanctity was already underway. The tribunal convened by the bishop of the diocese of Bayeux had begun in August 1910 to interview witnesses at Lisieux.
The custom of exhuming the body of a person who might be declared a saint was rooted in the time when the Church considered, among other criteria, whether the body of the candidate had been preserved. Because the Church has found that incorruptibility may be caused by environmental conditions, exhumation is no longer necessary.For more about this question see, thanks to Internet Archive, the article by Dwight Longenecker.
The night before Therese's exhumation, she appeared to Mother Carmela of the Heart of Jesus, the prioress of the Carmel of Gallipoli in Italy. Mother Carmela was not aware that the body of Therese was to be exhumed in France the next day. She reported that Therese's "countenance was very beautiful and shining, her garments glittered with a light as of transparent silver." Therese said to her "Only my bones will be found." (See Storm of Glory: The Story of St. Therese of Lisieux, by John Beevers. New York: Doubleday, 1955, p. 128). [For an account of the miracles God worked through Therese in 1910 and 1911 to rescue the Carmel of Gallipoli from near bankruptcy, please see "The Miracle of Gallipoli" by Giovanni Ricciardi. This miracle confirmed her little way and was given a special session in the diocesan process].
The exhumation of Sister Therese's body took place in the presence of Bishop Lemonnier, the bishop of Bayeux, and of about a hundred other people. Dr. de Corniere and Dr. La Neele, who looked after Therese in her illness, were present and confirmed that her body had disintegrated in the usual way soon after her death. Therese had said "You will not find me anything but a little skeleton." Her sister Pauline recorded that on August 20, 1897, Therese had said to her, "with a happy and mischievious air: 'I shall soon be in the horrors of the tomb! And you will be there also, little Mother! And when I see you arrive next to me, my humbled bones will leap with gladness!' (See St. Therese of Lisieux: Her Last Conversations. Washington, D.C.: ICS Publications, 1977, p. 156).
Only the bones covered with bits of cloth remained. But the palm branch that had been placed inside when she was buried was still fresh and green, as it is today. Was this God's way of confirming that God had granted Therese's desire to win "the palm of martyrdom"? "that thus I may become a martyr of Your love, O my God!"
Pauline wrote that on July 3, 1897 she said to Therese: "When you are dead, they will place a palm in your hand." Therese answered, "Yes, but I'll have to let it go whenever I want to, in order to give graces by the handful to my little Mother. I will have to do everything that will be pleasing to me." (See Last Conversations, p. 72).
The gravediggers noticed the scent of violets that came from the rotting boards of the decaying casket. (Therese and Lisieux, p. 310). Dwight Longenecker mentions the remarks of one of the witnesses to the exhumation about this scent.
Today the same cross, now enclosed in stone and glass, that marked Therese's first grave from 1897 through 1910 marks the site where that first grave was. The statue nearby marks the site of her second grave.Part of the Carmelite plot in the town cemetery. The cross marks the site of Therese's first grave (1897-1910); the statue marks her second grave (1910-1923).
The cross has the words "I want to spend my heaven in doing good on earth."
After this first exhumation, Therese's body was reburied in a cemented vault in a different burial plot near the center of the Carmelite plot.
The second grave of Sister Therese of the Child Jesus of the Holy Face (1910-1923).
As Therese's fame spread, growing numbers of pilgrims came to visit this second grave.
Pilgrims pray at the second grave of St. Therese. Many who had been cured through the intercession of Therese left their crutches and canes there in thanksgiving.
The cross that marked this second grave is on display today at the "parcours Theresien," a beautiful display of objects associated with Therese at the Lisieux Carmel.
Pilgrims scribbled their petitions and thanksgivings all over the cross.
Today a statue marks the site of Therese's second grave, where her body remained until it was returned to Carmel on March 26, 1923, a month before she was beatified.
At the base of the statue are written (in French) Therese's words "My God, You have surpassed my expectations, and I want to sing of Your mercies."
Several other Carmelites are also buried in the plot where Therese's second grave was, including her prioress, Mother Marie de Gonzague; her novice mistress, Sister Marie of the Angels; and Mother Marie-Ange of the Child Jesus, who entered Lisieux Carmel after Therese's death. Profoundly convinced of Therese's sanctity, she petitioned Bishop Lemonnier on the very day of her election as prioress in 1908 to open the cause of Therese, and he granted her petition.
Three of Therese's novices, Sister Martha of Jesus, Sister Marie-Madeleine of the Blessed Sacrament, and Sister Marie of the Trinity, are also buried here.
Mme. Tifenne, a friend of the Martin family from Alencon and the godmother of Therese's sister Leonie, maintained that this statue resembled Therese more than any other. (See Collected Little Flower Works by Rev. Albert Dolan. Chicago: Carmelite Press, 1929, p. 160.
As we pass through the years leading up to the centenary of Therese's canonization, we will celebrate the centenary of many important events, including the close of the diocesan process, the opening of the cause at Rome, the Apostolic Process, the second exhumation, the declaration of Pope Benedict XV that Therese practiced heroic virtue (on which occasion he delivered a long proclamation recommending her way of confidence and love to the whole Church), the solemn translation of Therese's relics to the Carmel, her beatification, and her canonization. May they be occasions of grace for the whole world.

Concerns some people are allergic to a particular substance is because they have inherited a tendency to be allergic (although not necessarily to that particular substance). Being exposed to a potential allergen when the body's defenses are lowered or weakened—such as during a viral infection—seems to contribute to the development of an allergy. People with allergies are often sensitive to more than one allergen.
During an allergic reaction, the immune system is responding to a false alarm. When a person comes into contact with an allergen, the immune system launches an inappropriate immune response by releasing large amounts of an antibody (a disease-fighting protein) called immunoglobulin E. Each time the person encounters an allergen, these antibodies signal the body to produce powerful chemicals, such as histamine, that travel to where the allergen is located (such as the airways, the skin, or the surface of the eye) and cause inflammation. Symptoms of inflammation include redness, swelling, pain, and warmth. When pollen, dust, or other airborne allergens cause inflammation of the mucous membrane that lines the nose, the condition is known as allergic rhinitis. Common symptoms include runny nose, coughing, nasal congestion, and sneezing.
One of the most common allergies is pollen allergy. Each spring, summer, and fall, trees, weeds, and grasses release tiny particles called pollen, which ride on currents of air. The pollen enters the nose and throat, triggering allergic reactions in susceptible people. Among North American plants, weeds, especially ragweed, are the most prolific producers of pollen. In fact, the popular term "hay fever" typically refers to allergy to ragweed pollen. Other important pollen-producing weeds include sagebrush, redroot pigweed, tumbleweed, and English plantain. Trees that produce allergic pollen are oak, ash, elm, hickory, pecan, box elder, and mountain cedar. Although a wide variety of grasses grow in North America, only about seven types produce pollen that causes allergic responses.
Each plant has a pollinating period that is the same from year to year. The relative lengths of night and day seem to be the trigger for pollination, so the farther north you live, the later (and shorter) the pollinating period and the later (and shorter) the allergy season. A pollen count measures how much pollen is in the air at a given time. Pollen counts tend to be highest early in the morning on warm, dry, breezy days and lowest on chilly, wet days. If you have allergic rhinitis, try to stay indoors as much as possible on high-pollen-count days, especially in the morning. If you work outdoors, wear a face mask that filters out pollen. If possible, take your vacation at the height of pollen season and go to a location, such as the beach, where pollen counts are minimal.
They thrive in summer, and they can live all year in warm, humid houses. The Immune mites produce waste-containing proteins, which are the actual causes of the system allergic reaction. Waste products of cockroaches also are are an important cause of allergy symptoms in infested households, especially in urban areas.
If you have a dust allergy, take the time to dustproof your home, especially your bedroom. Eliminate as many dust-gathering and dust-producing items— such as wall-to-wall carpeting, blinds, down-filled blankets, feather pillows, forced-air heating vents, pets, and closets full of clothing—as you can. Encase your mattress in a zippered, plastic, dustproof cover. Wash all of your bedding once a week in water hotter than 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Frequently wipe with a damp cloth all surfaces where dust accumulates.
Many people are allergic to animals, particularly household pets. Pet allergy is not triggered by the dander or hair of dogs or cats but rather by proteins in their saliva, which they transmit to their hair through licking. An animal allergy can take 2 or more years to develop and may not subside until 6 or more months after contact with the animal has ended. The best way to avoid an allergic reaction is to stay away from animals—even if it means finding a new home for a beloved pet. To decrease the level of cat allergens, try bathing the cat weekly, which neutralizes the protein on the fur. And keep the animal out of the bedroom.
Mold is a type of fungus that grows seasonally and causes allergic reactions in some people. Mold levels peak in late summer but, in warmer climates, molds thrive all year and can cause allergic symptoms year-round. Molds can be found wherever there is moisture. Outside, they grow on rotting logs and decomposing leaves. In the house, molds thrive in basements, bathrooms, damp closets, refrigerator drip trays, houseplants, air conditioners and humidifiers, garbage cans, mattresses, and old foam rubber pillows. When inhaled, tiny mold spores often evade the protective mechanisms of the nose and upper airways and reach the lungs. There they can cause bronchospasm (temporary narrowing of the airways in the lungs) or trigger an asthma attack (see page 245) in a person who has asthma.
To minimize your contact with allergy-triggering molds, have someone else mow your lawn and rake leaves, or wear a tight-fitting mask when you do these chores. Clean and disinfect your bathroom fixtures regularly, and be sure to air out closets, mattresses, pillows, and garbage cans. Regularly clean your air-conditioner filter and your humidifier filter and water reservoir according to the manufacturer's instructions. A dehumidifier can help dry out your basement, but you must clean the machine frequently to prevent mold buildup.
Concerns with allergies may develop asthma, a serious and potentially life-threatening respiratory disorder that causes tightness in the chest, wheezing, and sometimes severe shortness of breath.
Your health history (see page 82) is an important tool that can help your doctor diagnose a potential allergy. While taking your medical history, he or she can determine whether your symptoms recur at the same time each year, which suggests a seasonal allergen such as pollen. The doctor also will ask questions to determine what substances seem to trigger your allergies. To confirm this information, the doctor may perform skin testing, in which tiny amounts of suspected allergens are applied to, injected under, or scratched onto the skin. A small, reddened area will appear in the area where any substance to which you are allergic was applied. Blood tests also may be performed to detect blood levels of antibodies to a specific allergen.
Doctors generally recommend three approaches to the treatment of allergies: avoidance, medication, and allergy injections. For some people, complete avoidance of an allergen such as pollen or mold may require moving to a location where the allergen does not grow. Others may need to give up a favorite pet. If you have allergies, you may not be able to completely avoid the substances that provoke an allergic reaction. That is why doctors try to control allergic symptoms with medications, sometimes in combination. The most common medications prescribed for this purpose include antihistamines, which counter the effects of histamine, the inflammation-inducing chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. Nasal corticosteroids, which are sprayed into the nose, combat inflammation, swelling, and mucous secretion. Another nasal spray, called cromolyn sodium, prevents allergic reactions from starting. Effective antihistamines and decongestants also are available over the counter. Ask your doctor for recommendations.
Taking a series of allergy injections (immunotherapy) is the only method of reducing your allergy symptoms over the long term. This treatment usually is given over the course of 2 or 3 years. The doctor injects you with gradually increasing doses of the allergen. In response, your body decreases production of antibodies to that substance and begins producing protective antibodies instead. About 85 percent of people with allergic rhinitis experience a substantial reduction in their symptoms within 2 years of beginning their allergy injections.

Desert lake is mysteriously shrinking and in danger of disappearing
Chaffin Mitchell
April 29, 2021, 8:55 AM ·5 min read
The mysterious Lake Sawa in southern Iraq was once a very popular destination for tourists who came from far and wide to visit. They journeyed there with hopes of healing and for religious and spiritual reasons. Essential elements including sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, chlorine and carbonates are plentiful in Lake Sawa's water; however, the source of its water has been a mystery for centuries.
However, now Lake Sawa is shrinking in size leaving some wondering whether it might disappear altogether. The weather could be a contributing factor to the lake's demise, but other theories abound.
"There are many people who suffer from skin diseases in this area and in the surrounding areas. They come and swim in the lake for [their condition] to improve diseases, skin diseases,'' Dr. Ali Hussein, head of the Research and Studies Centre in Samawah University, recently told Reuters.
Lake Sawa, which once boasted an estimated 7,000 tourists a year, is one of Iraq's most unique and natural lakes for even more reasons than its purported healing properties.
"It hosts a large presence in nature that is unique, rare, especially in regards to biodiversity," Dalal Ali Qais, world heritage officer at the Iraqi ministry of environment, told Ruptly in an interview. "It contains biodiverse species that are threatened with extinction on a global level. It also contains various geological activities which led to the ministry classifying it as a national heritage."
One of the most well-known lakes in Iraq, Lake Sawa, is a large closed body of saltwater situated in the desert between Baghdad and Basra. The lake is dubbed by some as "the Pearl of the South" for its beauty and unique composition, but is in danger of drying up. (REUTERS/Mohammed Ameen)
There is even a certain amount of mystery surrounding how the lake formed in the desert in the first place, but the more pressing mystery stumping locals is: Why does the lake seem to be disappearing?
Some speculate that shifting tectonic plates from earthquakes, along with drought and years of neglect following the Gulf War in 1990 and again in 2003, have turned the area into a ghost town, according to Reuters.
But no one, it seems, has been able to pinpoint what exactly is causing Lake Sawa to shrink as much as it has in recent years.
"There are many reasons for the lake drying up. There has been no main reason yet. Some reasons are linked to climate change, low rainfall, increased evaporation. Shifting tectonic plates and some earthquakes experienced by the region may have also demolished the main tributary feeding the lake," Qais said.
Earthquakes mark the shifting of two or more masses of rock, with respect to one another, along with breaks and cracks in the rock known as faults, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Jim Andrews, who is also an expert in geology, explained.
"These faults can afford pathways for ground water to well up and spring forth, potentially feeding streams or lakes. However, faults can also form pathways by which near-surface water is drained back underground," Andrews said.
A given earthquake could disrupt an existing balance of flows sustaining a lake such as Sawa. Could the previous balance be restored? Andrews said such a scenario is at least plausible.
"An important aside is that Sawa is located in a harsh desert," Andrews said, noting the high evaporation and low rainfall that typifies such an environment, "and may not have existed at all were it not for the fault-related springs that are said to feed it."
Also, Andrews said it was worth pointing out, earthquakes do not cause droughts since drought is a meteorological phenomenon.
"The nearest plate boundary runs along the southern edge of Zagros Mountains -- Iran, Iraq, southeast Turkey. So the lake is not literally on a plate boundary, but any nearby earthquake faults could be related, at least indirectly, to the clashing plates," Andrews said.
According to Andrews, it is hardly unprecedented for the flow of surface and ground water to be disrupted by earthquakes, though the documented, earthquake-triggered draining of a lake may be unusual.
"It seems clear to me that the loss of surface water in a desert is potentially highly disruptive to the local ecosystem. However, as the lake is less than 3 miles long in its longest dimension, its loss should not change the regional climate meaningfully," Andrews said.
Raid Ali, Chief Engineer and Lake Sawa resident, is confident about what is causing the lake to dry up.
"The main reason is the shifting of tectonic plates underneath, which led to earthquakes in the north of the country. This caused the demolition of the oasis tributary, which, in turn, led to destroying of its feeding and exiting paths. This led to the water level decreasing. That is the main reason," Ali told Ruptly.

Weather conditions could also be contributing factors, as rainfall at nearby places has been down over the last 18 months, AccuWeather Meteorologist Adam Douty said.
"With the overall drier conditions and whatever impact the tectonic movement had from the earthquakes, [that] could explain the drop in water," Douty said. Since a little before the start of 2020, areas not far from the lake have been experiencing drier-than-normal conditions.
Samawa, located 15 miles east of Sawa Lake as well as Najaf, which is 60 miles northwest of the lake, have both been down on rainfall over the past several years, with Samawa seeing the greater rainfall departures, Douty pointed out.
"To this end, the local government called on the Muthanna Investment Authority to look for investors to set up projects and request the Ministry of Health and Environment to assist in the revival of the lake and prevent the depletion of its water," Aamal al-Gharib, a member of the Muthanna provincial council, told Al-Monitor.
"There is a national solidarity movement to clarify the reasons for the drying up, and forming the necessary solutions and, God willing, it will get back to what it used to be," Qais said. "God willing."

Taking the beginners MSF course over these weekend. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to improve their motorcycles skills. I have don't know how is the hell i've been riding without taking this course. I kind of had an idea....but when it comes to motorcycle riding, that's not good enough. Well worth the money.
definitely worth it, i preach about taking the course to anyone I know that rides or wants to ride. the skills they teach you could save your life.

+1 I recommend the MSF courses as well. Any rider w/ an open mind, a good attitude, & willing to learn, will benefit.
Glad you enjoyed your experience.
Im glad I took the class as well. I learned alot.
I remember when I took the class, I actually had a really good time, and learned alot. Plus it was FREE!! Thank you U.S. Military!
The course is worth every penny, a lot of fun too.
I kind of had an idea....but when it comes to motorcycle riding, that's not good enough. Well worth the money.
If you've been riding for a while, you might know 95% of what they cover. But that other 5% could save your life some day. And for me, the cost was more than paid for by the insurance discount I got on both my bike and car policies.
The msf course was the best thing I ever spent money on. Besides my bike of course.
Yep, definitely well worth the money. I took it to get my license before i got my bike, and i still use what i learned there every ride.

WHITESNAKE'S BEST OF BRITISH
Simon Rushworth 9th May 2013
As revealed on RUSHONROCK, classic rock royalty Whitesnake are following up the release of Made In Japan with the much-anticipated Made In Britain/The World Record.
In his latest exclusive interview with this website, lead singer David Coverdale explained 2013 would be a live extravaganza for the 'Snake.
And Cov has stayed true to his word after record label Frontiers revealed the track listing and details for July's release of the band's second live album in three months.
During 2011 Whitesnake embarked on one of their most successful world tours of the modern era, performing 96 shows in more than 35 countries – starting in North America in May until the second UK run in December.
The request for another live album came from Whitesnake's incredibly loyal fans – never ones for being notoriously shy about insisting what they want from their favourite musical reptiles.
And before heading out on the Forevermore World Tour 2011, the decision was made to record every performance on the tour.
After spending the early part of 2012 editing and mixing the Made In Japan CD/DVD, the production team consisting of The Brutal Brothers (Whitesnake frontman Coverdale, Doug Aldrich and Mikey Mac), had the task of listening to more than 90 shows and 130 hours of Whitesnake performances.
Inspired by the performances from the nine sold-out UK shows and a further 87 performances from around the world, the live albums Made In Britain and the complementary The World Record were finished earlier this year.
Songs from Forevermore sit alongside classic Whitesnake songs including Is This Love, Still Of The Night and Here I Go Again – all performed with feverish energy and encouraged by remarkably enthusiastic audiences from Newcastle to Sao Paolo.
Formed in 1977, and steered by the legendary Coverdale, Whitesnake have long since cemented their reputation as one of the world's leading rock bands.
Coverdale's blues roots, combined with a feral sense of rock and roll, have consistently shaped the Snake's sound.
The band's ascent to the very top of the rock n roll heap was confirmed with 1987's self-titled mega-platinum album, which saw two massive Top 10 hits – two number one singles with Here I Go Again and Is This Love – and a virtual 24-hour domination of MTV around the world.
Coverdale was recently named one of Revolver's 100 Greatest Living Rock Stars and the UK's Kerrang! Magazine voted the Teessider the Last Great Rock Star.

Enhance traditional plank and push-up exercises. Develop pillar strength (shoulders, torso and hips) through a variety of exercises. Wheels on each side move together for safety and ground control. Lightweight and portable. Ergonomic foam handles for comfort. Includes (2) COREwheels and a training guide.
Functional core stability discs. Supports engagement of the core through countless movements. Special low-friction, non-marking material slides smoothly on all surfaces.
Are a great way to activate your core and get a low-impact, full-body workout in with minimal gear.
Adjustable length and height: A good abdominal apparatus should have adjustable length, so that the movement is suited to your height and the arm position is comfortable. If the apparatus is fixed and the length is not appropriate for the user, the exercise will not be as efficient as it could be and might even provoke back injuries.
Cushioned headrest: The headrest should be rigid and wide enough to protect the neck, as otherwise the bar will put too much pressure on one point, provoking pain and discomfort.
By contrast to the guided apparatus, the wheel or ab roller allows greater freedom of movement, and is preferred by many users, as in some exercises it not only tones the abdominal section but also helps to stretch the back muscles.
A wheel for abdominal training should be at least 2.5cm wide and be made of rubber or some other material with good traction, as it should feel stable and solid and only move in the direction required by the exercise, otherwise it could provoke tension and muscle strains in the back, shoulder and sides.
It is important that the grips are covered in foam rubber, latex or a similar material, as you put your weight on the wheel and it is necessary to be able to grip it firmly.
Some abdominal training wheels are fitted with a cord which limits the distance the wheel can roll and which is anchored to a cushioned knee pad. The length of the chord is adjustable so as to be able to vary the intensity of the exercise.

Home Film & TV Interview: Róisín Chapman and Kieran Anscomb
Interview: Róisín Chapman and Kieran Anscomb
Modestas Mankus
Upper Row (From Left): Kieran Anscomb, Matthew Flower, Sam Ward, Georgia Conyers and Kamie Rose Bottom Row (From Left): Megan Derbyshire, Aurora Harris and Roisin Chapman
Róisín Chapman and Kieran Anscomb, filmmakers and collaborators on the upcoming short film About That Girl, joined us for an interview to talk about the idea of the film and how it all came about.
Hi, how are you?
Róisín: Hi, we're very well thank you. Excited for the break we'll get over Christmas before we go into the final stages of pre-production before filming.
Kieran: I'm a high functioning drug addict currently detoxing over the Christmas break, how do you think I'm doing?
Pretty well? So, whose idea was About That Girl?
Róisín: About That Girl was primarily Megan and Aurora's idea, they are our DoP and production designer. However, they let our writer, Kieran, do his first draft with no hints from then. Then from there, it seems to have been quite a collaborative process between the three of them.
Kieran: Okay let's clear this up. They came up with the title and character names, and told me Fred fell in love with this mysterious girl, then spent the next day trying to find her. Oh and I also had to include a record store, that was vital apparently. But the further along we got developing the idea, we sort of formed this little team where we would spend hours upon hours bouncing ideas off each other, then I would go away, bang out a draft, and then go back and see what they thought of it first. We've repeated this process so many times I've actually forgotten what we're supposed to be writing about, I think it's still a romantic comedy, but I can't be sure.
How did the crew come together?
Róisín: We were all quite good friends before we started the project. So once we found out that About That Girl had been chosen we just agreed who we thought would be best in which role. Then we started pre-production almost immediately and had our first group meeting only a day or so after.
Kieran: I knew of them and could tolerate them before the project. But I needed a gig, so I pestered and pestered them until they let me join. After having worked with them for about three months, I can still just about tolerate them.
Stylistically, what films and culture influenced this film?
Róisín: We have a few influences for this film. We have two aesthetic themes during night and day. At night we use a neon vibe, for that we looked at movies such as Nerve and Maniac, on Netflix. About That Girl is set in the alternative 80's so there'll be some retro elements to the film such as the clothes they wear and the fact that they listen to records, although records have made a comeback in the last couple of years, but it's things like that which will just add to the bright and evocative colours bringing a distinct and personal style to our film. Then during the day, we want a more natural feel, so we focus on pastel colours. This was inspired by movies such as 500 Days of Summer and What If. I'm hoping this will make the night scenes seem more intense and passionate whereas the day will be softer and more comfortable. As for the edit, our main inspiration is Edgar Wright, especially, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World as when it comes to the transitions, that man is a genius. He can manage to transition a scene so seamlessly the audience barely even notices, and that is what we are trying to achieve in About That Girl.
Kieran: What she said.
How would you describe the film in three words?
Róisín: I would say, adventurous, comradery and charming
Kieran: Exceedingly well written.
Will there be a sequel to About That Girl?
Róisín: Not that I'm aware of however there may be a spin-off with the band in the film, The Frog and The Snail.
Kieran: Fuck me let us finish the first one first. Although we have had a couple of meetings about developing the relationship between Caleb and his hip flask in a further spin-off film, you'll understand once you've seen the first one that we haven't yet finished making.
When are you planning to film and release the film? Also, are you planning to have a film festival run?
Róisín: So the film will be screened on the 22nd of May at Vision's Festival in the University of Hertfordshire. Then after that, we will be sending a private link to all of the kind people who donated generously to our IndieGoGo campaign.
Then we are hoping to submit it to as many film festivals as we can such as Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, Raindance and then also I've been scouring the internet for lesser-known festivals such as the Flatpack Film Festival and Encounters, so we can apply to as many that'll have us.
After the festival run, we will then release the film online for the world to watch but that will after all the festivals in 2020.
Thank you so much for speaking with us. I can't wait for you to see the film and tell us what you think. If you want to find out more, you can go to our website here.
Thank you for joining us Kieran and Roisin!

Mondays has a mission: To make women's lives more convenient and ensure plastic free period products are the future.
Register now to help Mondays make sustainable period products the new norm.
I Want to be Part of the Change!
What is it about having plastic in a period pad, that is so bad?
The key here is what is left behind once you have used your period pad… plastic. Plastic takes at least 1000 years to decompose…. if ever and in a woman's lifetime that is on average 11,000 single use non-recyclable menstrual products, that is a lot of plastic waste. The impact of plastic on our planet is huge, but we can do something. Mondays period products leave 0% plastic waste and are 100% compostable. Plastic is not needed in our menstrual products…. PERIOD.
What are Mondays' period products and packaging made of?
Mondays' products and their packaging are 100% plastic free and 100% compostable.
Our liners are made from 100% organic cotton topsheet, 100% organic cotton core, mater-bi bioplastic barrier backsheet.
Our tampons are made from 100% organic cotton, sustainable cardboard applicators and paper wrapping.
There are NO dyes, synthetics, perfumes or chlorine found in our products.
If a conventional tampon is not 100% cotton, what is in it?
If a period product is not made of 100% cotton, what is in it?
Most of the well-known brands of period products are made of synthetics, like rayon and sometimes a rayon cotton mix.
Rayon is a manufactured semi-synthetic fibre, this involves a heavy industrial and chemical process. Conventionally farmed cotton also damages our delicate eco-system due to the high usage of pesticides (15% of world pesticide use).
Menstrual pads from many of the best known brands contain something they call Super Absorbant Polymers, these are derived from crude oil, or polyester, polyethylene and polypropylene, none of which are biodegradable. Mondays does not contain SAPs, we use only organic cotton.
Not only does the manufacturing of these menstrual products result in the destruction of our eco-system but they also continue to harm our planet long after our lifetime.
There are some alternative menstrual products with far less environmental impact than even the best pads and tampons. Why not encourage the use of those alternative products?
We would definitely encourage every girl and women to explore and talk about alternative products, to help break the taboo and question what we are using every month.
As we ourselves have discovered, not all alternative products are a possibility for every women, or for every period. Mondays/ We want to offer women, who are comfortable using pads and tampons, an environmentally friendly but also convenient way to continue doing so. Every woman should be free to use period products of their choice every month and not sacrifice the future of our planet in the process.
Isn't a non-applicator (digital) tampon a more environmentally friendly option than an applicator tampon?
The reason we only supply tampons with applicators is that they are, at this time, the only 100% plastic free option. Every digital tampon is wrapped in plastic, that is 11,000 period products in a lifetime and a great deal of unnecessary plastic that will take 500-1,000 years to biodegrade.

With her collaborators — composer Jason Finkelman, musician Geoff Gersh, and dancers Duan Cyrus, Jonathan Gonzales, and Niall Noel Jones — Oliver is exploring the complexities of the representation of black masculinities through movement, spoken language, and visual design.
This free event will be followed by a post-performance conversation with the artists.
"I am very interested in folks' reaction to what they see," Oliver said.
She is receiving multi-year residency support from VPL to develop the show, a process that began in 2015.
That year, her two-week research residency included interviews with local black men about their experiences living in southern Vermont.
In the summer of 2017, VPL intends to present the final production of "Virago-Man Dem," which will include animation and visual design by graphic novelist and Afrofuturist John Jennings.
VPL, which describes itself as "a laboratory for creative research and community engagement," has brought artists of regional, national, and international stature to rural Vermont since 2006 through its artist residency program.
"Cynthia is using the medium of dance to dig into the nuances and complicated subject matter of black masculinity," said VPL Director Sara Coffey on VPL's website. "And, in the wake of more police violence on black men, 'Virago-Man Dem' is increasingly relevant.
A former dancer with numerous companies, including the David Gordon Pick Up Co., Ronald Kevin Brown/Evidence, and Bebe Miller Company, her dance theater work has been performed across the country.
In addition to being a performer and choreographer, Oliver holds a Ph.D. in performance studies from New York University. She is professor of dance at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Now living in Urbana, Ill., Oliver was born in the Bronx, N.Y., and was raised in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where her father lived in St. Croix. Her choreography often incorporates textures of Caribbean performance with African and American aesthetic sensibilities.
"My Caribbean heritage and culture absolutely infuses and informs all my work," says Oliver.
However, "Virago-Man Dem" marks an important shift in choreographic focus for Oliver, as she turns her attention to black men of differing nationalities, ages and class sensibilities.
"Now as a mother of a boy, my eyes have opened to issues men face as they negotiate coming into the social world," she says.
In our current environment, Oliver believes that, more than ever, black men are forced to negotiate, examine, and question the spaces in which they live.
Reflecting on the impetus for this new dance-theater work, Oliver wrote in a press release that "it is my moral obligation to offer something else to the world that I know to be true about black men, and this choreography is my medium to do so.
She saw masculinity ran the gamut from the gentle nature of her grandfather to forms that were much more macho.
Oliver proclaims that she is full of awe and amazement at black masculinity. However, at the same time, in our post-feminist age, when so many forms of masculinity have been critiqued, she feels a certain defensiveness about celebrating masculinity.
"It's a work in progress, and the final show might be radically different from what we are exploring now," she said.
'Virago-Man Dem' employs both movement and words.
Another thing that delights Oliver in putting together 'Virago-Man Dem' is working with old friends.
Oliver feels that the most gratifying part of artistic creation is not the finished piece, but rather the day-to-day rehearsal process.

Albatross has four bedrooms, two with ensuites. Two bedrooms have expansive water views to the south and one is connected to a spectacular, upper deck. The other two bedrooms have balconies that look north, also with water views.

"Albatross had everything you could want and more. It was the perfect place to spend Christmas and we wont forget our experience. An amazing place to stay."
"Lovely property and nice views. Overall a nice experience."
"We had a fabulous time at Albatross for my girls birthday weekend. Its such a big house with so many rooms to relax in and enjoy the beautiful views. Best sleep in a holiday house I have ever had. We spent a lot of time in the beautiful modern and fully supplied kitchen. We could not believe that everything was supplied for our cooking pleasure (we just brought the food.)"
"House position and views are spectacular. Yard was good for our dogs. Great size for our family! Jake was fantastic. Friendly and responsive. It was wonderful!"
This weekend Mum, Dad and six 20something kids/partners spent the weekend at this amazing house at Culburra Beach.
We used all the facilities: pool table, table tennis, poker, cards, books, games, walks, beach swimming, full kitchen, bbq, beautiful spaces, lounges and balconies.
The views of the ocean, dolphins and beach made you feel on a cruise ship (without the seasickness). In 3 days we experienced all weathers from the comfort of 'home', watching sunrises, moon rises, storms, blue skies and the stars.
We would highly recommend this place and thank the team at Holiday Rental Specialists for the ease of booking and presentation (and bottle of wine).
House position and views are spectacular. Yard was good for our dogs. Great size for our family! Jake was fantastic. Friendly and responsive. It was wonderful!

National Family leads in Exeter Contemporary Open
September 20, 2019 by artsculture

Plenty of visitors to the exhibition had already began voting for their favourite in the Audience Choice Award. Join them and cast your vote! The winner will be announced at the end of the exhibition.
Selected works of the competition winners is presented alongside pieces from thirteen other shortlisted artists in a free-entry exhibition in the gallery spaces at Exeter Phoenix from 20 September to 10 November 2019.
As well as the winners, this year's selected artists are Iain Andrews, Amanda Benson, Sara Berman, Jack Bodimeade, Harriet Bowman, Patrick Brandon, Michael Calver, Grant Foster, Alia Hamaoui, Jeb Haward, Harley Kuyck-Cohen, John Lawrence and Molly Thomson. This shortlist includes artists working across painting, sculpture, photography and video, resulting in an exhibition that forms a highlight of the South West's cultural calendar.
This year's 15 finalists were selected from hundreds of entries by a judging panel comprised of critic, writer and teacher Sacha Craddock, Turner Prize nominated artist Mark Titchner and Exeter Phoenix's curator Matt Burrows.

Assassination or not? / Amazon's suburban bet / Moor fun
Charlie Meyerson ■ 1/07/2020 09:52:00 AM
Assassination or not? One reason you're seeing headlines that blandly refer to the U.S. killing of Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani as, for instance, a "drone strike"—and not an illegal assassination—is that U.S. law doesn't define "assassination."
■ The director of the Center on National Security at Fordham University Law School boils down the Trump administration's position this way: "It's not war, it's just the way we're doing business these days."
■ Veteran Chicago political strategist Don Rose: "There are good reasons why both the Bush and Obama administrations considered it too provocative to execute the man."
■ The U.S. expects a "tit-for-tat" attempt on the life of an American military commander …
■ … and/or maybe some attacks on Trump-owned properties. (Cartoon: Keith J. Taylor.)
■ The killing has triggered a journalistic crisis: How to spell the victim's name in English. Chicago Public Square is following AP style, as above. CNN and The Washington Post drop one s in the first name, and The New York Times goes with Qassim Suleimani.
After 'almost universal condemnation of his latest perfect presidential act.' Wonkette's Evan Hurst: "Trump Tremendously Impressed With How Many Not-Crimes Trump Guilty Of!"
■ Trump's notoriously anti-environmental (2018 link) Environmental Protection Agency Midwestern office chief is leaving.
Amazon's suburban bet. With little—if any—public notice or debate, Amazon has managed to build a massive distribution complex on the site of the old Maywood Park horseracing track.
■ Bridgeport's Ramova movie theater—an empty place for more than three decades—could be reborn as a dining, music and brewery hub.
Mayors OK with banning abortion. A coalition of 28 mayors planned today to endorse the reelection of a congressman representing their towns, Dan Lipinski—who's under fire for joining Republican lawmakers pushing the Supreme Court to reverse its decision legalizing abortion.
■ A couple of dozen protesters—some dressed in Handmaid's Tale red—gathered outside Lipinski's office Monday.
For the death of a child … Ikea has agreed to what may be a record settlement: $46 million to the parents of a toddler killed when one of the company's dressers fell on him.
■ Pier 1 is closing almost half its stores.
'It is banal now.' A shopper bemoans the genericization of Chicago's once-beloved Mariano's grocery store chain.
■ Borden, one of the country's oldest and largest milk producers, has filed for bankruptcy …
■ … partly because you're buying more oat, nut, soy and other alternative products.
Moor fun. Navy Pier's in line for Lake Michigan's first "transient" marina, offering boaters hourly, daily and weekly harbor.
■ Chicago's Uber, Lyft and Via drivers may be feeling the hurt from Mayor Lightfoot's new "congestion fee," which piles an extra couple of bucks on the price of a hailed ride.

Thanks, Marie, although I think Gordon Brown's inability to smile was more the result of a sense of humour deficit whereas Samaras's is for the same reason he can't see his reflection in a mirror and rarely ventures out in daylight.
