Investigation of failed components of a helicopter
Madan, M and Bhuvana, R and Sujata, M and Venkataswamy, MA and Bhaumik, SK (2009) Investigation of failed components of a helicopter. Project Report. National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, India.
A few components belonging to a helicopter, which met with a Cat-I accident on November 27, 2008, were sent to this laboratory for investigation. Examination revealed that all the four bolts connecting the tail drive shaft (TDS) with the main gearbox (MGB) have sheared off. Fractographic study confirmed that these bolts have failed by fatigue. Examination also discovered that three of the four bolts used were not as per the design specification. It was found that these bolts were longer than that of the recommended one, and they are actually meant for use with the intermediate gearbox (IGB) casing. There was mix-up of bolts and the wrong ones were used in this particular case. The shank length of the IGB bolts is such that it does not provide enough threads to allow tightening of the assembly joint at the TDS connecting flange. Since the bolts cannot travel beyond the first thread from the shank, the reading on the torque wrench during this assembly would have been a wrong indication of tightness of the joint. In fact, the joint was either loose or did not have required pretension. Because of this, there was slip between the TDS connecting flange and the main rotor brake disc. This had resulted in excessive load on the fourth bolt which appears to have failed first by fatigue. Following this, the unequal load distribution in conjunction with the looseness in the joint was responsible for the fatigue failure of the remaining three bolts. Hence, the primary failure in the system was the failure of the bolts at the TDS connecting flange – main rotor brake disc assembly. The other damages seen on other components/structures of the helicopter are secondary in nature and would have occurred subsequent to the primary failure or during crash onto the ground. It is, therefore, stated that the mix-up of the bolts during assembly of the TDS was responsible for the failure and the accident.

Citizens for Fire Safety
This article is part of the Center for Media & Democracy's spotlight on front groups and corporate spin.
Citizens for Fire Safety (CFFS) was a trade association for the flame retardant industry that was apparently shuttered in late August 2012.[1] It was founded in 2007[2] by Albemarle Corporation, Chemtura Corporation, and ICL Industrial Products.[3] It had originally claimed on its Web site to be "a coalition of fire professionals, educators, burn centers, doctors, fire departments and industry leaders, united to ensure that our country is protected by the highest standards of fire safety," but it altered its site to clarify that it was a trade association following a series of articles exposing its role in promoting toxic flame retardants published by the Chicago Tribune in May 2012.[4]
The group was reported to be a lobbying front for the chemical industry, which opposes legislation to ban a type of decabrominated diphenyl ether that has been used for decades as a fire retardant in furniture. Critics say the chemical breaks down into a toxin, and is suspected of harming the environment.[5]
One of the primary flame retardants reported to be defended by the group is called "Firemaster 550." Its precise chemical makeup is apparently an industry secret shared only with a select few U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees sworn to secrecy, but when EPA approved it, it was known to contain "two brominated compounds, known as TBB [2-ethylhexyl 2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate] and TBPH [di(2-ethylhexyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrabromophthalate]. Both are structurally similar to a plastic-softening phthalate that Congress has banned in children's products. Called DEHP, the phthalate is listed in California as a known carcinogen and developmental toxin," according to the Chicago Tribune.[6]
The group's website now bears a prominent notice saying, "The three founding members of Citizens for Fire Safety Institute: Albemarle Corporation, Chemtura Corporation and ICL Industrial Products have elected to conduct all advocacy and communications efforts through the American Chemistry Council's (ACC) North American Flame Retardant Alliance (NAFRA)."[7]

"Deceptive Tactics"
On May 6, 2012, the Chicago Tribune published the first article in its four-part series on flame retardants, "Playing with Fire." It was topped with a picture of Dr. David Heimbach, a burn expert who testified against a 2011 California state Senate bill that could have reduced the use of flame retardant chemicals in furniture. It was revealed after his testimony that he was paid for his travel, and for some of his time, by CFFS.[8]
The Tribune reported, "As evidence of the health risks associated with these [flame retardant] chemicals piled up, the industry mounted a misleading campaign to fuel demand. There is no better example of these deceptive tactics than the Citizens for Fire Safety Institute, the industry front group that sponsored Heimbach and his vivid testimony about burned babies."[8]
In a section entitled "Fear and Deception," the Tribune laid out these "deceptive tactics":
"In the website photo, five grinning children stand in front of a red brick fire station that could be on any corner in America. They hold a hand-drawn banner that says 'fire safety' with a heart dotting the letter "i."
"Citizens for Fire Safety describes itself as a group of people with altruistic intentions: 'a coalition of fire professionals, educators, community activists, burn centers, doctors, fire departments and industry leaders, united to ensure that our country is protected by the highest standards of fire safety.'
"Heimbach summoned that image when he told lawmakers that the organization was 'made up of many people like me who have no particular interest in the chemical companies: numerous fire departments, numerous firefighters and many, many burn docs.'
"But public records demonstrate that Citizens for Fire Safety actually is a trade association for chemical companies. Its executive director, Grant Gillham, honed his political skills advising tobacco executives. And the group's efforts to influence fire-safety policies are guided by a mission to 'promote common business interests of members involved with the chemical manufacturing industry,' tax records show.
"Its only sources of funding — about $17 million between 2008 and 2010 — are 'membership dues and assessments' and the interest that money earns.
"The group has only three members: Albemarle, ICL Industrial Products and Chemtura, according to records the organization filed with California lobbying regulators. Those three companies are the largest manufacturers of flame retardants and together control 40 percent of the world market for these chemicals, according to The Freedonia Group, a Cleveland-based research firm. . . .
"Citizens for Fire Safety has portrayed its opposition as misguided, wealthy environmentalists. But its opponents include a diverse group of public health advocates as well as firefighters who are alarmed by studies showing some flame retardants can make smoke from fires even more toxic.
"Matt Vinci, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Vermont, faced what he called 'dirty tactics' when he successfully lobbied for his state to ban one flame retardant chemical in 2009.
"Particularly offensive to Vinci were letters Citizens for Fire Safety sent to Vermont fire chiefs saying the ban would 'present an additional hazard for those of us in the fire safety profession.' But the letter's author wasn't a firefighter; he was a California public relations consultant. . . .
"The group also has misrepresented itself in other ways. On its website, Citizens for Fire Safety said it had joined with the international firefighters' association, the American Burn Association and a key federal agency 'to conduct ongoing studies to ensure safe and effective fire prevention.'
"Both of those organizations and the federal agency, however, said that simply is not true.
"'They are lying,' said Jeff Zack, a spokesman for the International Association of Fire Fighters. 'They aren't working with us on anything.'
"After inquiries from the Tribune, Citizens for Fire Safety deleted that passage from its website."[8]
Ties to Big Tobacco
According to the Chicago Tribune, which reviewed thousands of government, scientific, and internal industry documents, "Big Tobacco . . . wanted to shift focus away from cigarettes as the cause of fire deaths, and continued as chemical companies worked to preserve a lucrative market for their products . . . These powerful industries distorted science in ways that overstated the benefits of the chemicals, created a phony consumer watchdog group that stoked the public's fear of fire[,] and helped organize and steer an association of top fire officials that spent more than a decade campaigning for their cause."[8]
In a later article, the Chicago Tribune reported, "Smoldering cigarettes were sparking fires and killing people. . . . The industry insisted it couldn't make a fire-safe cigarette that would still appeal to smokers and instead promoted flame retardant furniture -- shifting attention to the couches and chairs that were going up in flames. But executives realized they lacked credibility, especially when burn victims and firefighters were pushing for changes to cigarettes. So Big Tobacco launched an aggressive and cunning campaign to 'neutralize' firefighting organizations and persuade these far more trusted groups to adopt tobacco's cause as their own. The industry poured millions of dollars into the effort, doling out grants to fire groups and hiring consultants to court them."[9]
(The Tribune said it "discovered details about Big Tobacco's secretive campaign buried among the 13 million documents cigarette executives made public after settling lawsuits that recouped the cost of treating sick smokers."[9] To search through documents in the "Tobacco Library" yourself, go here.

PR to Spin Harms
The Environmental Health Fund in Massachusetts explains that:
PBDEs are polybrominated diphenyl ethers, toxic flame retardants added to products such as televisions, computers, textiles, building materials, infant car seats and strollers. Laboratory
studies show that PBDEs may harm the developing brain, impair sperm development, and impair thyroid function. Washington State and Maine have banned three of the most widely used PBDEs and many states are considering following suit, based upon evidence that these chemicals are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic. Chemical manufacturers of PBDEs have a direct financial interest in preventing limits on the use of their product. They have organized themselves to oppose policies to require non-toxic fire safety through PBDE restrictions that are advancing across the U.S.
Four principal corporations that manufacture PBDEs are Albemarle, Israel Chemicals Limited (ICL), Chemtura, and Tosoh. When they saw that some of their flame retardant products were coming under regulatory pressure, they contracted with Burson-Marsteller, the giant global public relations firm, to change public and legislative perceptions about the hazards associated with PBDEs.
CFFS forms "chapters" in states where it actively lobbies, including Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts and Minnesota. In California, a related organization called "Californians for Fire Safety" was created by the public relations consulting firm Jacobson Communications, and is explicitly listed on the lobbyist registration website.[10]
This contact information was listed on CFFS' website before it was taken down in 2012:

Smoke Detectors That Use Apple HomeKit: What Are Your Options?
Having a security system is generally a good idea for any homeowner, but there's more to a system for protection and safety than just a keypad and some door and window sensors. Smoke detectors are now quickly becoming part of home automation and security systems, allowing them to work with Apple HomeKit and other types of automation platforms. There are only a handful of options offered, however, because a lot of these automation platforms are still relatively new. With Apple HomeKit compatibility, the two main options are Fibaro and First Alert.
Most people think of First Alert as making inexpensive detectors people can buy anywhere — and that's largely true for a lot of their products. But they also focus on detectors that work with the HomeKit, because they see the market for that. More people are choosing these home automation options today, and they want everything in their home security system to be tied into a central hub. That includes smoke alarms and CO2 alarms, along with sensors that warn of intruders.
Whether a person has a home security system or not, they should always have smoke detectors. Even the battery powered options that aren't connected to anything else can be enough to save lives. It's important to maintain these detectors, as well as replacing them when they eventually come to the end of their useful life. That way a homeowner has a lot of peace of mind, and they know that they can trust their detectors to alert them to a potential problem.
Sometimes these detectors can be frustrating because they go off if someone burns dinner, but that's a small price to pay for the safety that they offer.
They'll be a strong means of protection for a number of years, and especially in older homes or during the night, they can add an extra layer of protection so homeowners can feel safe. That feeling of security is hard to put a price on, but it's also something that can be bought at some level by having proper smoke detectors in any home.
With an integrated home automation and security system, Apple HomeKit can be a wonderful addition to any house. Not only do people want to feel safe, but they also want to have comfort and convenience in their homes, as well. They can have a much better chance of getting that when they use HomeKit, as it works with smart thermostats, cameras, and other types of devices all throughout the house. In addition, there's the option to add more devices into the system later, as companies continue to make more things that are going to work well with the HomeKit and related products. The market for these kinds of home automation options is only going to continue to expand.
No matter why a homeowner wants to integrate things, they'll have the opportunity to tie more alarms and detectors into their hub with an Apple HomeKit and the right smoke detectors.


In United First Partners Research v Carreras, an employee who had returned to work after he was injured in a cycling accident claimed that a 'requirement' that he work long hours constituted a provision, criterion or practice (PCP) for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010 that put him at a substantial disadvantage compared with colleagues without his disability and his employer should have made reasonable adjustments to avoid the disadvantage. The Court of Appeal ruled that a 'requirement' in this context does not have to involve coercion in order for it to amount to a PCP. On the contrary, it may represent no more than a strong form of 'request'.
The length of Mr Carreras's working day continued to cause him difficulties and that, together with other sources of friction, ultimately led to an angry confrontation with his manager on the same day that he had sent an email formally objecting to working late in the evenings. Intent on making an example of him, his manager raised his voice to him in front of everyone in the office, accusing him of constantly criticising his colleagues. Mr Carreras viewed his treatment as abusive, unacceptable and intimidating. His manager's response was that he could leave if he didn't like it and Mr Carreras tendered his resignation by email later the same day.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) upheld Mr Carreras's appeal against the ET's decisions. In its view, his constructive unfair dismissal claim was bound to succeed on the evidence, and in rejecting his disability discrimination claim the ET had adopted 'an unduly narrow approach' to the question of whether he had been required to work evenings. It had found that what Mr Carreras had alleged had indeed occurred. United First Partners Research ceased to make entirely open requests that he work evenings. Instead, it became not a matter of whether he would work late but simply of when he would do so. In the EAT's view, this expectation did constitute a PCP and his claim was remitted to the ET for redetermination.
United First Partners Research challenged the EAT's findings.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal. It was made clear to Mr Carreras that he was expected to work long hours by a pattern of repeated requests, which put him under pressure to agree. In the Court's view, this practice was capable of amounting to a PCP that put him at a disadvantage.
So far as the unfair constructive dismissal claim was concerned, Mr Carreras's manager's outburst was the immediate cause of his resignation. That incident and preceding events amounted cumulatively to a fundamental breach of contract by his employer.

Q: WordPress Fallback Thumbnail image by size I have more than one custom thumbnail size.
For example:
<?php
add_image_size( 'sizeOne', 300, 100 );
add_image_size( 'sizeTwo', 600, 200 );
?>

I show the thumbnail with the function:
<?php the_post_thumbnail( 'sizeOne' ); ?>

And, if the image does not exist (if I haven't set the custom thumbnail in Admin area), the fallback image will be default-thumbnail.png. This process is made by this code in functions.php:
<?php
function filter_post_thumbnail_html( $html ) {
    // If there is no post thumbnail,
    // Return a default image
    if ( '' == $html ) {
        return '';
    }
    // Else, return the post thumbnail
    return $html;
}
add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', 'filter_post_thumbnail_html' );
?>

The problem is that the fallback image is the same for all thumbnail sizes. As it's 300x100, it is perfect to sizeOne, but is too small for sizeTwo.
How can I  "check" if the thumbnail asked is sizeOne or sizeTwo and then return the correct fallback image?
–
Ps: I know the other way to do this, but that's not what I want.
<?php
    if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
        the_post_thumbnail( 'sizeOne' );
    } else {
?>
    <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/default-thumbnail.jpg" width="300" height="100" />
<?php
} ?>

A: You can use the additional parameters of the filter.
<?php
function filter_post_thumbnail_html( $html, $post_id, $post_thumbnail_id, $size ) {
    // If there is no post thumbnail,
    // Return a default image
    if ( '' == $html ) {
        if ( 'sizeTwo' == $size ) {
            return '';
        } else {
            return '';
        }

    }
    // Else, return the post thumbnail
    return $html;
}
add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', 'filter_post_thumbnail_html', 10, 4 );

Love Your Garden, Love Your Life
If you love your garden, you'll love this piece by Jean Morgan.
By Amanda MacArthur | September 14, 2022
People feel a lot of ways about their gardens, whether it's the delight of summer tomatoes turning red, anguish over squash vine borers, or satisfaction in watching a perennial garden change with the seasons. If you love your garden on most days, you're happy to embrace the good and the bad, right?
Today's piece "I LOVE my garden," by Jean Morgan is not just about the love of gardening, but also plays the tune of the old adage, "you'll never work a day in your life if you do something you love."
"Whenever there is a spot of dirt big enough for a plant, I show up at Mikl and Eve's nursery in Boulder and yell, "Hi, it's the drunk in a bar!"—and get one of every native I don't already have!" writes Morgan. "I love to visit them each month to see what's blooming, so I can have different garden interests the whole season."
As a former mostly-vegetable gardener, I appreciate this story a lot, because I too have evolved over the years to adore my ever-changing perennial flower gardens, and rolling into the gardening center all season long to pick out the bloomers. I love my garden more each year because I always find a flower out in my travels and say, "hey! I haven't planted THAT one yet!" and right onto my "plant next year" list it goes. Gardening really is a patience game, isn't it? But today's story is a nice reminder that if you love your garden, it's worth it!
Love Your Garden Even More
This story comes from our archive that spans over 30 years and includes more than 130 magazine issues of GreenPrints. Pieces like these that inject the joy of gardening into everyday life lessons always brighten up my day, and I hope it does for you as well. Enjoy!
I LOVE My Garden
By Jean Morgan of Louisville, CO
My garden started in the early 1970s on a tiny lot in Louisville, Colorado, when my neighbor, Grace, gave me some hen-and-chicks. I still grow and adore them (they remind me of her) even though my garden has evolved into a mostly native, xeric display, thanks to the availability of local natives these days. And this garden is packed! Whenever there is a spot of dirt big enough for a plant, I show up at Mikl and Eve's nursery in Boulder and yell, "Hi, it's the drunk in a bar!"—and get one of every native I don't already have! I love to visit them each month to see what's blooming, so I can have different garden interests the whole season.
When people come to my yard, sometimes I can only recall the Latin name of a plant and not the English. Folks think I'm really smart. Not so, only forgetful!
When I hear people say, "I have to go work in the garden," I smile. That's not true for me! How many times have I gotten hungry while gardening, decide it must be time for breakfast—and go inside to discover it's 11:30?! ❖
By Jean Morgan of Louisville, CO, published originally in 2020, in GreenPrints Issue #123. Illustrated by Russell Thornton

The Complete Papyrus of Ani
E.A. Wallis Budge, Foy Scalf
Imprint: Clydesdale Press
Trim Size: 6in x 9in
Paperback eBook
A New Edition of the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, Perfect for History Buffs, Budding Archaeologists, or Mythology Enthusiasts!
The Egyptian Book of the Dead is unquestionably one of the most influential books in all history. Containing the ancient ritual to be performed for the dead with detailed instructions for the behavior of the soul in the afterlife, it served as the most important repository of religious authority for some three thousand years. Chapters were carved on the pyramids of the ancient 5th Dynasty, texts were written in papyrus, and selections were painted on mummy cases well into the Christian era. In a certain sense, it represented all history and research of Egyptian civilization.
In the year 1888, Dr. E. A. Wallis Budge, then purchasing agent for the British Museum, followed rumors he heard of a spectacular archaeological find in Upper Egypt, and found in an 18th Dynasty tomb near Luxor a perfectly preserved papyrus scroll. It was a copy of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, written around 1500 B.C. for Ani, Royal Scribe of Thebes, Overseer of the Granaries of the Lords of Abydos, and Scribe of the Offerings of the Lords of Thebes.
This Papyrus of Ani is presented here by Dr. Budge. Reproduced in full are a clear copy of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, an interlinear transliteration of their sounds (as reconstructed), a word-for-word translation, and separately a complete smooth translation. All this is preceded by an original introduction of more than 150 pages. This classic material combined with a brand-new foreword by Dr. Foy Scalf of Chicago University gives the reader has a unique opportunity to experience all the fascinating aspects of The Egyptian Book of the Dead.
Dr. E. A. Wallis Budge is known as being one of the most renowned Egyptologists in the world. After discovering the Papyrus of Ani in 1888, he became the Assistant Keeper and eventually the Keeper of Oriental Antiquities at the British Museum. Though his career was controversial, he brought many tablets, manuscripts, and other findings from his multiple trips to Egypt and the Sudan back to the museum and his dozens of books on Egyptology helped bring his findings to a wider audience. In 1920, he was knighted for his service to Egyptology and the British Museum. He died in London in 1934 at the age of seventy-seven.
Foy Scalf studied Egyptology at the University of Chicago, where he wrote a dissertation on Demotic funerary papyri from 1st–2nd century CE Egypt. His published work covers a variety of topics including Egyptian grammar, philology, Demotic texts, magic, and religion. He is a research associate and head of Research Archives at the Oriental Institute. He was awarded the Archival Innovator award from the Society of American Archivists in 2016. In 2017, he curated the Oriental Institute special exhibit Book of the Dead: Becoming God in Ancient Egypt and edited the accompanying catalog.

Detroit Real Estate Market Reports
Quicken Loans on track to set new mortgage record this year
The Detroit-based company could issue $140 billion in mortgages in 2019
One of Detroit's largest employers is set to do more business than ever this year.
Quicken Loans, the Dan Gilbert–owned mortgage company based in Detroit, is on pace to originate more than $140 billion in mortgages in 2019, the Detroit Free Press reports. Its previous record was $96 billion in 2016.
Detroit has seen a steady increase of mortgages issued every year since 2012. But the majority of Quicken Loans's business in the last year has come through refinancing loans. The 30-year fixed interest rate is currently at 3.68 percent, the lowest rate since around September 2016.
"I will say that with interest rates falling, refinance has skewed higher than in the past," Bob Walters, Quicken's president and chief operating officer, told the Free Press.
How would a national recession affect Detroit?
Gilbert relocated the company downtown in 2010 and has been investing nearby properties ever since. Quicken Loans says that it employs more than 15,000 in Detroit and has hired 3,500 over the last year to process the increasing demand.
Gilbert's health is still a major question. He suffered a stroke on May 26 and returned to metro Detroit after spending two months in an out-of-state rehab facility. In October, Gilbert and fellow billionaire Stephen Ross announced they'd be partnering with the University of Michigan to build a $300 million campus at the eastern edge of downtown focusing on high-tech research.

The Royal Horticultural Society Butterfly Dome
Visitors to the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show can once again step into a lush paradise garden, simply by walking into the Butterfly Dome.
The RHS Butterfly Dome, has a lush paradise garden and thousands of exotic butterflies from Indonesia and South America. Most of the butterflies actually swarm around in a frenzy and while difficult to photograph, its lovely to watch. As you can imagine the habitat that has been created is hot like the tropics, even though you get a little toasty it is to bring a smile to the faces of all who enter.
Art in nature - Take a look at the stunning patterns on some of the butterflies. It hard to believe look as if they have been painted on.
Butterflies feed primarily on nectar from flowers. Some also derive nourishment from pollen, tree sap, rotting fruit, dung, decaying flesh, and dissolved minerals in wet sand or dirt. Butterflies are important as pollinators for some species of plants. In general, they do not carry as much pollen load as bees, but they are capable of moving pollen over greater distances. Flower constancy has been observed for at least one species of butterfly.
Butterflies have the typical four-stage insect life cycle. Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed, pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs out, and after its wings have expanded and dried, it flies off. Some butterflies, especially in the tropics, have several generations in a year, while others have a single generation, and a few in cold locations may take several years to pass through their whole life cycle.
The butterflies gather at the feeding stations, attracted by the sweet, juicy fruit. This is the ideal spot to try to get a close-up photo of them while they are still.
The Oxford English Dictionary derives the word straightforwardly from Old English butorflēoge, butter-fly; similar names in Old Dutch and Old High German show that the name is ancient. A possible source of the name is the bright yellow male of the brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni); another is that butterflies were on the wing in meadows during the spring and summer butter season while the grass was growing.
Nearly all butterflies are diurnal, have relatively bright colours, and hold their wings vertically above their bodies when at rest.
Surrounding the structure is a meadow full of native flowers, designed to attract British butterflies and other insects, while specially selected planting also attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Q: Add subplots row header that scales properly in matplotlib How can I use annotate() (or any other command for that matter) to add a second "ylabel" to the right of a figure which makes the text "scale" the same way as the other texts (axis x,y-label and title)? With scaling I mean that I don't want to hack text offsets manually or have a solution which fails as soon as I rescale the figure/add more plots/add a colorbar or similar. I don't want to use twinx, because I'm not plotting any additional data, and I don't need another axis.
Here's an image of what I want to achieve:

Here is my code to produce this image, I want to change the ax.annotate part:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

numPlotsY = 3
numPlotsX = 3
f, ax_grid = plt.subplots(numPlotsY,numPlotsX,sharex=True,sharey=True)

A = np.arange(numPlotsY)+1.0  # Amplitude
phi = np.arange(numPlotsX)    # Phase shift
x = np.linspace(0,2.0,100)    # x

for y_i in range(0,numPlotsY):
    for x_i in range(0,numPlotsX):
        ax = ax_grid[y_i,x_i]

        y = A[y_i]*np.sin(x*np.pi + phi[x_i])

        ax.plot(x,y,lw=2.0)

        # Add xlabel to the left column
        if x_i == 0:
            ax.set_ylabel(r'$y$')
            ax.set_yticks([-4,-2,0,2,4])

        # Add ylabel below bottom row
        if y_i == numPlotsY-1:
            ax.set_xlabel(r'$x/\pi$')
            ax.set_xticks([0.5,1.0,1.5])

        # Add Phi label above top row
        if y_i == 0:
            ax.set_title(r'$\phi=%s$' % phi[x_i])

        # Add amplitude label to the right... how??
        if x_i == numPlotsX-1:
            ax.annotate(r'$A=%d$' % A[x_i], xy=(1.1,0.5), rotation=90,
                        ha='center',va='center',xycoords='axes fraction')

f.subplots_adjust(wspace=0,hspace=0)
plt.suptitle(r'$A\cdot\sin\left(2\pi x + \phi\right)$',fontsize=18)
plt.show()

I've seen this topic discussed several times without an elegant solution. There's always so much hacking involved. I really think this boils down to the way matplotlib treats the axes. Why can't there be one label for each of the four sides of the figure, that behave the same way?

My name is Sarah and I am 33 years old and after 17 years of hell I have finally been diagnosed correctly with Lipedema!
I suppose I didn't notice my swollen legs until my late teens, I had always had chunky legs and my brother's would constantly tease me singing the theme tune to Thunder Cats but replacing it with Thunder Thighs instead but as this sibling teasing is part and parcel or my family I never really took it to heart. That was until I noticed that my legs were constantly painful to the touch and bruised very easily and the bruises would stay visible for longer than what I considered normal. Also being a teen it was frustrating to not be able to find any high leg or ankle boots that I could fit in or a pair that if I could get them on would not press against my skin and hurt.
I visited my GP fairly early on in those days but was told the usual "you are overweight and don't exercise enough" which was strange as at the time I was swimming 3-5 miles per week and worked a s a chef so was constantly on my feet rushing around???
By the time I was 21 I had gone from a size 10 top and 12 bottom to a size 18 top and 20-22 bottom my weight had gone up by 4-5 stone for no real reason. I have always had a relatively healthy diet. I don't gorge myself on tubs of ice cream and chocolate like some of my larger friends did and I maybe ate takeaways once every 2 weeks. I don't eat fried food and eat plenty of fruit and veg. My mum never understood how I was so big and supported me in my constant attempts to get my GP to take me seriously as my legs were "not normal".
The years have ticked by and I have settled at a size 18 but my bottom half is still bigger than my top half and my legs still hurt. Several more visits to my GP and still no response other than diet & exercise!!!!
I had an accident about 3 years ago and I know have a very unsightly bumpy area on my left leg that is a permanent yellowy colour and feels alien but still no advice or help from my GP I was told it was normal bruising (it is still there???).
Then one day I was reading the Daily Mail and there was an article from a lady whose symptons mirrored my own through her life and it wasn't until she had visited a spa on holiday and the therapist had told her he thought she had Lymphedema and that she should speak to her GP when she got home. It then went on to say she had been diagnosed at last and what a relief it was to finally know she had been right all along. I researched the condition online and booked an appointment with my GP and showed her the article and the other information I had gathered and she decided to refer me.
I waited a few months for my appointment but on the first visit the specialist agreed there was something wrong althugh he thought maybe more venous than lymph! He ordered tests to be carried out and in the meantime I was fitted with compression stockings which I would have to wear possibly for the rest of my life.
The tests took a couple of months and when the results were back he confirmed Lymphedema he told me the stockings would be a permanent fixture in my life and said if I needed anything else I could speak to him. I felt this was not enough he hadn't really explained the condition and led me to believe the stockings were the only treatment.
So that is my story I am finding it hard to come to terms with as I always believed that I would one day slip into a size 12 again and be able to actually wear skirts instead of trousers all the time. This is not to be at least for the near future as we all know there is no cure. She has also told me I need to wear full length compression tights not the knee highs I have been wearing.
I can't honestly tell you how I feel right now, part of me wants to cry and never stop but the optimist in me is still clinging to the future bringing new treatments even a cure? I think I am more worried about the future and how this condition could develop into which might leave me bedridden or in a wheelchair weighing akin to a small whale!!! I don't have children and now I am worried that pregnancy could exacerbate the condition? Still it's chin up and soldier on and hope that the PCT grants me funding to get proper treatment and help as I can't afford it all by myself and I am sure I am not alone!
I wanted to send you a super welcome to our forums. I thought I had replied, but...duh...call me dummy....I hadn't . So, I apologize too.
I appreciated you sharing your story and it really makes me angry that it seems so typical for both lymphedema and lipedema. I find it so incredibly hard to understand in this 21st century why these two conditions are such mysteries to the medical world. You would think that with so many of us dealing with it and having it, the docs would finally say "Gee...ya think we ought to learn about this?"
I was curious, what type of test did the doctors initially do when they diagnosed lymphedema?
Also, did the therapist say anything about the possibility of both? Many many lipedema patients also do have lymphedema.
We have quite a number of members, both here and inthe Yahoo groups from the UK. All the primaries say the same thing about getting treatment. I do wish the LSN would get off their duff and try to work on behalf of lymphers who did not get lymphedema from cancer. Some of us even have cancer (like me) because of the hereditary lymphedema. I've always wondered what the NHS's reasoning is behind their unwillingness to cover lymphedema if it isn't from cancer.
Anyway...lol...I better stop before I get a rolling on my soap box.
If you have any questions, frustrations - anything - just post. Our boards have been reactivated and we are looking forward to everyone's participation.
Sarah (((hugs))) I am in awe of how much are stories are alike. I have been about 5-6 years with being told also to loose weight & it will go away or I have just been ignored by my doctors. Finally at the first of 2010 I went BACK to the doctor cause the pain got so bad that I actually started loosing strength in them. I was sent for an MRI, Cat Scan, CT Scan, a sleep study & an echocardiogram to rule everything out. Came back NOTHING wrong. I had to be so forcefull telling them that SOMETHING was not right. My swelling in my lower legs was tighter & the pain was unbearable. Thru research on the internet I asked the doctor about lyphedema. She sent me to a clinic here where I live, they wrapped my leg, the one that is worse swelling & pain wise, it was so bad that she had to take it off then she stated "sorry this treatment is not for you" I asked "where do I go from here?" She said " I would Google it" Google it? I thought? so I did. I found a doctor that is close to me that I TRIED to get a soon appointment with, but could only get 2 months away from the date. LONG story short that DR was a nightmare! I found a therapist in my city that I just finished seeing for $200 per hour for 16 days, my insurance does not cover anything! She is a GOD send! When you wrote that you could shave your legs after treatment tears were rolling down my eyes, cause now I am 'normal' again.
I do have lipedema with a slight lyphedema.
I am grateful for this forum so I feel like I can find people to connect with.

The panel discussed "blockchain for business" including what blockchain technology is truly capable of and how to take full advantage of it. Panelists explained the differences between blockchain and digital currency as we currently understand it, and explored whether we might be looking at the dawn of an entirely new internet.
Data Privacy and Cybersecurity lawyers Benjamin C. Jensen, Kathleen M. Porter and Kathryn M. Rattigan were panelists at the 2019 Health Law Symposium in Boston on March 22, 2019. The day-long event, "Privacy, Cybersecurity, and the Health Care Industry: Threats, Risks and Mitigation," was presented by the Massachusetts Bar Association and attended by some 60 people.
Kathy and Ben spoke on "General Data Protection Regulation 101: What You Need to Know," which addressed key elements of the European Economic Area's recently adopted General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and what it means for U.S. companies. They highlighted the importance of understanding the different meaning of key terms such as "sensitive personal data," "controller," and "processing," and some of the key changes the GDPR presents, such as its extraterritorial reach and the fact that simply complying with existing U.S. data privacy and security regulations is no longer sufficient. The presentation pointed out that the GDPR also brings with it greater accountability for companies and greater control for individuals, including changes to disclosure language and a strengthened emphasis on the "lawful basis" of consent of an individual data subject.
Kathryn presented "How Safe Is Your Organization from Hackers? Recent Risks and Tips from an Insider," which included an FBI Intelligence Analyst with the Bureau's Cyber Task Force. They discussed how to identify and protect high risk data and reviewed recent and ongoing threats to information, such as phishing, ransomware, malware, and man-in-the-middle attacks, and the kinds of disruption they can cause organizations. The presentation also highlighted the laws that apply to such situations and how law enforcement and other government resources can assist businesses in addressing cyber threats.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. and COLUMBIA, Md.— July 19, 2017 –As point-of-sale (POS) malware continues to pummel retailers and brands, ransomware attacks are aggressively increasing in scope and frequency around the globe.
If cybercriminals put the two trends together, they can impact most or even all locations of large chains by locking up the POS system itself—the mission-critical nerve center of payment card-accepting merchants and service providers—while holding the company hostage until a ransom is paid.
Now, any business can find out its risk level and measure the impact of POS ransomware with an online POS Ransomware Risk Self-Assessment, offered at no charge from Netsurion, a leading provider of managed data and network security services for multi-location businesses, and security information and event management (SIEM) leader, EventTracker.
To date, the primary motivation of POS attacks has been to steal credit card data that can be sold on the black market for $5 to $30 per account, depending on the data's value. However, all payment card-accepting organizations need to anticipate that criminals might switch to POS ransomware, attracted to the possibility they can receive more money, more quickly by holding a company virtually hostage with a new attack vector. One for which few merchant organizations are prepared.
Netsurion and EventTracker are committed to equipping businesses with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect their brands, bottom-line, and customers. In addition to providing the self-assessment, Netsurion and EventTracker are hosting a POS ransomware educational webinar, in which Netsurion and EventTracker's global CISO will present a detailed explanation of the threat, the potential impact, and recommended solutions.
The webinar will take place on Aug. 1 at 1 p.m. CT. To register and receive a first-look at the companies' upcoming POS ransomware whitepaper, visit https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/5176067918608210179.

LOS ANGELES What was once the focal point of Garfield High School is now a burned out shell. The roof is gone and inside, weeds grow though the concrete floor.
"The walls are still there braced by high beams and angle irons, and nothing has happened," says Michael Summe, the school's principal.
The auditorium was destroyed by an arson fire two and half years ago. And since then, the school district and insurance companies have been fighting over what needs to be done to rebuild it.
"We have to hold firm on our standards, and we're not going to be able to build something unless it can meet all o the current codes," says Mike Hovatter of the L.A. Unified School District.
We have to make sure that the insurance company lives up to our commitment to us and fulfills their obligation," Hovatter adds.
L.A. Unified says that the walls are being shored up by steel beams and are not safe. They say consultants have told them everything needs to be knocked down.
"The insurance company, in an earlier indication, has told us that they believe that we can reuse the walls and that we're exempt from some of the codes we believe we're required to adhere to," Hovatter explains.
We called the attorney for the insurance companies and she told me they have no comment.
The principal says an entire class of students is going to graduate never having used an auditorium.
"The plans for the replacement for the auditorium are beautiful, they're great, they're fabulous," says Summe, "but I'd like to see the auditorium completed, and I'd like to know essentially when that's going to happen and that it be done as quickly as possible."
"I didn't get to see anything in there, so it would have been cool to see plays or something in there," says student Aaron Sesma.
The two sided will try to resolve this using a mediator, for which a meeting has been scheduled for November. If they don't come to an agreement, the school district says it will have no choice but to sue the insurance companies.

While reading through some of my RSS feeds today, I ran across this interesting photo and it got me thinking.
It seems in today's culture, the things that stand out do so because they are extremely unique. You can't just be slightly different, you need to do something a little more extraordinary to really catch people's attention. This car is an excellent example of this. If this had been a paint job, it wouldn't have stood out nearly as much as it does being a crocheted car cover. Practical? Probably not. Stylish and unique? It's oozing with it!
Thinking about this picture reminds me of how, as business owners and marketers, we need to apply our own uniqueness and flavor to our messages and products. This is contrary to the old-school method of business, where it was most important to fit in. Uniqueness was not a selling point in a factory that produced hundreds of widgets daily. However, in today's hyper-competive market, the only way to stand out is to be unique. The only way to be unique is to be yourself and let a part of you and your personality be reflected in your product.
The beauty of this approach to marketing is that you don't even need to be selling or talking about anything new. You just need to present it in a way that reflects your uniqueness. I think Virgin and Apple are an excellent examples of this. Both companies are in the business of selling music. It's the same music you can buy anywhere, however, these two companies have found a way to inject their own level of uniqueness into their marketing message and have become household names in the process.
What's your brand of uniqueness?
How are you selling your products?
Are you using typical, description-based copy to sell your product?
Would your message "speak" to your customers more intuitively if you injected some of your personality in your copywriting?
What emotions do the images on your website convey?
Are they in line with you and the real message you want to send?
Most importantly, does your message get your customer excited? If not, it might be time to rethink a new strategy.

ESPN retains rights to The Basketball Tournament, which will take place in quarantine this year
by Awful Announcing June 12, 2020, 4:18 am 1.5k Views
With the summer returns of the NBA, MLS, and maybe MLB, ESPN (despite the postponement of UEFA Euro 2020) isn't in as desperate need for summer content as they typically are. But despite that extra content this year, ESPN has agreed to a new multi-year deal with an event that has become one of its regular summer content providers – The Basketball Tournament. On Wednesday night, ESPN announced a "multi-year, multi-platform" rights extension with TBT, which has aired on ESPN's networks since 2015. This year's tournament will be more condensed than in previous years, taking place from July 4-14 in a quarantined environment in Columbus, Ohio, with all games at Nationwide Arena. TBT will also be a fanless experience, and if a team member from any of TBT's 24 teams tests positive, his whole team will be disqualified. With just 24 teams, this is the smallest ever edition of The Basketball Tournament.

Apple engineer reveals the real reason Steve Jobs didn't allow Flash on the iPhone
It all seems like ancient history now, but it really wasn't all that long ago that Apple and Adobe were engaged a very public and extremely bitter dispute stemming from Apple's refusal to support Flash on the iPhone. While Adobe was quick to call out Apple out for engaging in anti-competitive behavior, Apple's party line was that Flash was a security nightmare riddled with a number of performance and security issues.
Apple and Adobe's battle over flash reached its zenith in 2010 when Steve Jobs penned a widely circulated screed detailing why Apple's mobile products, which at the time included the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, did not support Flash. Titled "Thoughts on Flash" and weighing in at nearly 1700 words, Jobs thoroughly explained Apple's rationale for completely ignoring, what was then, a very relevant piece of software technology.
In hindsight, thanks to no shortage of Flash-related problems on Android, it's commonly accepted that Apple's decision to avoid Flash like the plague was a shrewd one.
That said, a series of tweets from Bob Burrough, a former software development manager at Apple, reveals that Apple at one point actually tested Flash on the iPhone as far back as 2008. What's more, Burrough relays that Jobs' vehement refusal to support the technology may have had less to do with security considerations and more to do with the fact that Adobe, as a partner, couldn't be relied upon to address said security issues..
In 2008, Apple tested support for Flash on iPhone. I personally used Pandora's Flash client.
— Bob Burrough (@bob_burrough) December 6, 2016
Burrough went on to fire off a series of tweets which provides us with a fascinating look into Jobs' mindset at the time.
According to Burrough, Jobs was miffed that Adobe CEO "Shantanu Narayen would not take his phone calls." As a result, Jobs had zero faith that Adobe would be able to address what Jobs reportedly categorized as "mere engineering problems."
couldn't count on them do it.
"One of the things that has irked me over the subsequent years was that people widely ridiculed Steve for this decision," Burrough later added. "However, the decision was the right one based on both technical reasons and that Adobe was a shi**y partner. Almost a decade later, it turns out that Steve Jobs was right. Flash is dead and Adobe is a still a shi**y partner."
It's crazy to think that the entire Apple/Adobe brouhaha essentially boiled down to Apple's mistrust of Adobe as opposed to any insurmountable technical hurdles. But whatever the reason, hindsight now tells us that the iPhone was always much better off without Flash.

Empire Ranch
Gail Waechter Corkill — 2012-11-05 in History
Author : Gail Waechter Corkill
The Empire Ranch sits in the heart of the rolling grasslands and oak-studded foothills of Las Cienegas National Conservation Area in southeastern Arizona. Its remarkable history and the ranching way of life are told through the stories of the men, women, and children of the Empire, most notably the Vail, Boice, and Donaldson families. Walter L. Vail and Herbert R. Hislop purchased the Empire Ranch homestead for $2,000 in 1876. The Vail family operated the ranch until 1928, turning it into a cattle ranching empire. From 1928 to 1975, the well-respected Boice family ran a vibrant Hereford operation on the Empire. The Donaldson family used innovative range management methods to continue the ranching legacy from 1975 to 2009. Today, the ranch, under the management of the Bureau of Land Management, remains one of the oldest continuously working cattle ranches in the region.
Around Sonoita
Betty Barr — 2009 in History
Author : Betty Barr
Located at the foot of the majestic Santa Rita Mountains in southeastern Arizona, Sonoita is known for its rolling grasslands, grazing cattle, and working cowboys in well-worn jeans. Ranching blossomed in the early 1880s when the Southern Pacific Railroad linked Benson to Nogales, allowing local cattlemen to ship their livestock to market by train. It would be another 30 years before the first Sonoita Post Office was established, with postmistress Clara Hummel dispensing the mail from her home. The area would remain unincorporated--the closest pioneer neighbors were miles away over dirt roads--but the citizenry grew in friendship and cooperation, developing a community spirit that still exists today. Locals and visitors alike enjoy Sonoita's neighboring communities of Patagonia, where a historic train depot evokes memories of the town's role as a distribution center for area mines and ranches, and Elgin, where old-time cattle ranches now share fence lines with the lush vineyards of Winery Row.
Wild West Shows and the Images of American Indians 1883 1933
L. G. Moses — 1999 in History
Author : L. G. Moses
Between the 1880s and the 1930s Show Indians depicted their warfare with whites and portrayed scenes from their culture in productions that traveled throughout the United States and Europe and drew huge audiences--well over a million people in 1885 alone. The view that they were tipi-and-war-bonnet Indians exploited by entrepreneurs like Buffalo Bill was commonly held by reformers of the 1890s, and has been uncritically accepted ever since. This book, now available in paperback, is the first to examine the lives and experiences of Show Indians from their own point of view. Their dances, re-enactments of battles, and village encampments, the author demonstrates, helped preserve the Indians' cultural heritage through decades of forced assimilation. This book also looks at Wild West shows as ventures in the entertainment business. By considering financing, scripting, recruitment, logistics, and public and creditor perceptions, L. G. Moses reveals the complexity of the enterprise and the numerous--and often contradictory--meanings the shows had for Indians, entrepreneurs, audiences, and government officials.
Vail and Colossal Cave Mountain Park
Sharon E. Hunt — 2007 in History
Author : Sharon E. Hunt
Just 22 miles southeast of Tucson in the Sonoran Desert sits the town of Vail, colloquially known as "The Town between the Tracks," which refers to the two train tracks running through its tiny business center. The area is named for Walter L. Vail, who, with his partners, formed the sprawling Empire Ranch in 1876. Vail is also the home of Colossal Cave, a "dry cave" where visitors can view stunning formations and hear stories of Native Americans, bandits, and moviemakers. The cave served as the site of a Civilian Conservation Corps camp in the mid-1930s, when workers installed trails and lighting in the cave, constructed administration buildings, and built roads and picnic spots in the surrounding area. Colossal Cave is now united with the La Posta Quemada Ranch, a working cattle ranch since the 1870s, to form the 2,400-acre Colossal Cave Mountain Park.
Smartsville and Timbuctoo
Kathleen Smith — 2008 in History
Author : Kathleen Smith
Smartsville and Timbuctoo (California State Landmarks Nos. 321 and 320) are essentially one place with two names. As worked-out claims and floods forced placer forty-niners up from the sandbars into the hills above the Yuba River, and as word spread around the world about gold in the California hills, towns and communities formed. The Smartsville and Timbuctoo area was once the most populated place in eastern Yuba County. Black Bart, Jim "the Timbuctoo Terror" Webster, and other desperadoes haunted the local roads. Eventually fires, worked-out diggings, and the Sawyer Decision succeeded in driving out all but the most dedicated (and in some cases eccentric) residents. Neither town, though, is ready yet for the dustbin of history: the population might once again explode-this time not with gold seekers but with long-distance commuters, turning the former boomtowns into future bedroom communities.
Circle Z Guest Ranch
Gail Waechter Corkill — 2016 in History
Nestled in Sonoita Valley along the banks of Sonoita Creek, just 15 miles north of Mexico, Circle Z Guest Ranch welcomes vacationers to experience a taste of the Old West, with the comfortable pleasures of a traditional family-style ranch but without the risks. Horseback riding, relaxation, and cowboy cookouts have been the ranch's main attractions for the past 90 years, earning Circle Z the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating guest ranch in Arizona. It evolved from a four-room adobe homestead to a working cattle ranch before becoming a highly profitable sheepherding operation. In 1924, brothers Carl and Lee Zinsmeister arrived in Patagonia with a vision of developing a dude ranch with a resort feel. They purchased 5,000 acres of the San José de Sonoita land grant, which included the Sanford estate. Circle Z opened in 1926 and quickly became one of the finest guest ranches in the state. Today, the Nash family operates this memorable ranch famous for its well-trained horses and miles of scenic trails.
Empire s Nature
Amy R. W. Meyers — 1998 in Nature
Author : Amy R. W. Meyers
Format : PDF, Docs
Completed in 1747, Mark Catesby's Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands was the first major illustrated publication on the flora and fauna of Britain's American colonies. Together with his Hortus Britanno-Americanus (1763), which detailed plant species that might be transplanted successfully to British soil, Catesby's Natural History exerted an important, though often overlooked, influence on the development of art, natural history, and scientific observation in the eighteenth century. Inspired by a major traveling exhibition of Catesby's watercolor drawings from the Royal Library, Windsor Castle, this collection of interdisciplinary essays considers Catesby's endeavors as a naturalist-artist, scientific explorer, experimental horticulturist, ornamental gardener, and early environmental thinker in terms of the interests held by the various, overlapping communities in which he functioned_particularly as those interests related to the British colonial enterprise. The contributors are David R. Brigham, Joyce E. Chaplin, Mark Laird, Amy R. W. Meyers, Therese O'Malley, and Margaret Beck Pritchard. The contributors: David R. Brigham (Worcester Art Museum) Joyce E. Chaplin (Vanderbilt University) Mark Laird (University of Toronto) Amy R. W. Meyers (Huntington Library & Art Collections) Therese O'Malley (National Gallery of Art) Margaret Beck Pritchard (Colonial Williamsburg Foundation)
The Landscapes of Western Movies
Jeremy Agnew — 2020-10-01 in Performing Arts
Author : Jeremy Agnew
Western films have often been tributes to place and setting, with the magnificent backdrops mirroring the wildness of the narratives. As the splendid outdoor scenery of Westerns could not be found on a studio back lot or on a Hollywood sound stage, the movies have been filmed in the wide open spaces of the American West and beyond. This book chronicles the history of filming Westerns on location, from shooting on the East Coast in the early 1900s; through the use of locations in Utah, Arizona, and California in the 1940s and 1950s; and filming Westerns in Mexico, Spain, and other parts of the world in the 1960s. Also studied is the relationship between the filming location timeline and the evolving motion picture industry of the twentieth century, and how these factors shaped audience perceptions of the "Real West."

Author : Robin Michael Roberts
Kings County, sprawling across the San Joaquin Valley south of the Kings River and encompassing the bulk of the historic Tulare Lake bed, is an agricultural wonder with ranches, dairy farms, vineyards, and multiple other field and orchard crops. Created in 1893 from Tulare County and expanded in 1909 from elements of Fresno County, Kings County has grown in the last century from a forgotten corner of California into a major agricultural-economic force.
Sea of Sand
Michael M. Geary — 2016-03-31 in Science
Author : Michael M. Geary
Sculpted into graceful contours by countless centuries of wind and water, the Great Sand Dunes sprawl along the eastern fringes of the vast San Luis Valley of south-central Colorado. Covering an area of nearly thirty square miles, they are the tallest aeolian, or wind-produced, dunes in North America, towering 750 feet above the valley floor. With the addition of the enormous Baca Ranch and other adjacent lands, the dunes—originally designated as a National Monument in 1932—attained official National Park status in 2004. In Sea of Sand, Michael M. Geary guides readers on a historical journey through this unique ecosystem, which includes an array of natural and cultural wonders, from the main dunefield and verdant wetlands to the summits of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Described by explorer Zebulon Pike as "a sea in a storm" and by frontier photographer William Henry Jackson as "a curious and very singular phase of nature's freak," the Great Sand Dunes are a nexus of more than 10,000 years of human history, from Paleolithic big-game hunters to nomadic Native Americans, from Spanish conquistadores and transcontinental explorers to hard-rock miners and modern-day tourists in motor homes. Like these successive waves of visitors, Sea of Sand follows the water, analyzing its critical role in the settlement and development of the region. Geary also describes the profound impact that waves of human use and settlement have had on the land—which ultimately inspired the early grassroots efforts by San Luis Valley citizens to protect the dunes from further exploitation. He examines as well the more recent legislative effort led by an unprecedented coalition of local, state, and federal agencies and organizations, including The Nature Conservancy and the National Park Service, to secure the Great Sand Dunes' national park designation. Amply illustrated, Sea of Sand is the definitive history of the natural, cultural, and political forces that helped shape this incomparable landscape.

Selah's Manga Mania Review How to Treat Magical Beasts
How to Treat Magical Beasts Vol. 1
by Kaziya
Publisher: Seven Seas (May 22, 2018)
Genres: Manga, Fiction, Young adult fiction, Graphic novel
In an age of science and forgotten magic, mythic beasts are beginning to disappear from the world. A young girl named Ziska, born into a line of mages, becomes the apprentice to a veterinarian of regular animals -- but Ziska's interests lie with beasts of a more magical nature. Can she help these creatures of legend survive in a world that is leaving them behind?!
Like magical creatures? Of course you do, that's a rhetorical question. But what happens if they get sick? Who do you call and how does that particular vet treat them? We find out these answers today in the first volume of How to Treat Magical Beasts.
The title is pretty much what you get. Ziska is a thirteen-year-old apprenticed to a vet so she can learn animal medicine. Things get interesting, though, because she's also the last in a line of mages…except she isn't really all that refined in the magical arts and people don't really have need for magic now that science is around.
Unless…they have magical pets that need mending.
This is a pretty typical first volume. We get to know the two leads and their friends, and find out the basic problems (science vs magic, young heroine with a slight inferiority complex, doctor who stands behind science 1000000% except he somehow knows more about magic than he's originally let on). Keep in mind, this also takes place in a pseudo-Victorian-ish type setting, so the premise works a lot better than it would if set in the here and now.
And I mean, it's fine. We go with Ziska through a series of misadventures and see her heal different sorts of animals (fire salamander, dragon-like ice creature, predatory rabbit – and oh mah gawd I want one of those). There's a lot of the doctor explaining things which helps settle us into the universe, and you feel some for Ziska's situation. She's pulled between two worlds, but only knows so much about her magical part. She's likable enough, though I think it made more sense once it's mentioned how young she is later in the volume. The doctor is a typical serious, secretive character with a heart buried in there somewhere, and there are some quirky side characters to even things out.
For me, it reads very much like a first volume, and it's all pretty typical. I do like how a lot of the explanations are designed to give a science side to magic, which is neat. The mandrake chapter is especially well done for me, and a new take on things. The creature designs are really cool and cute, and there are some great panels featuring those characters. As I went along I enjoyed it more, but I don't know if this is a volume that would make me run out and grab more. Granted, it's labeled teen, but I could see this being more for ten and up, or middle school introduction into manga or something (if the plot suddenly takes a wild left turn, don't come after me – I'm going purely by volume one).
These types of stories are more about the cool designs and ideas rather than a forward-momentum arc, and I'm okay with that. It's a good book to chill out to, especially if you don't want something with a lot of drama or angst. There's only one kinda hint of romance that's a love spell played for laughs (which, in retrospect, seems a little eeeeh if Ziska is thirteen), so I'm guessing this isn't going to be all gung-ho into romantic overtones, either, which is good for readers who may want a break from pining and face-sucking. Or something.
