The Fly (ハエ, Hae) is an insect that can be found throughout the year, quickly flying round rafflesia, spoiled turnips or discarded rubbish such as tires, cans, and old boots that are caught when fishing. There may be a number of Flies around the object, which can be caught individually. Flies can be hard to catch, as although they make a loud, high pitched buzzing noise, they are very small and so are hard to spot. In New Leaf, Flies are just as common as they were in previous Animal Crossing games whenever rafflesia, spoiled turnips or rotten fruit are around. However, Flies rarely appear when rubbish is on the ground, unlike previous Animal Crossing games where they are just as common when trash is around. Flies sell for 80 bells, making them one of the least expensive insects in the Animal Crossing series. The Fly depicted in-game appears to be modeled on the housefly.
When caught, a red ring and pointing hand are used to show where the Fly is in the player's hand, a demonstration of its small size.
Flies tend to swarm around the 'rafflesia', a flower, due to its foul smell. This stench is, in fact, used to attract such insects as Flies in order to pollinate. In City Folk, a rafflesia can be found in the insect exhibit. Once donated, a Fly will buzz around it.
As with all insects in the Animal Crossing series, the Fly can be donated to the Museum followed by a small talk by Blathers, the curator.
Blathers, being as afraid as ever of bugs, will comment, as always, on the donation: "My largest complaint about these vile bugs are their filthy little feet, wot! Leaping about on my dinner! FOULNESS! UTTER FOULNESS! Blech! The mere thought... Couldn't they at least scrub those fly toes?"
Again in City Folk, Blathers will say: "Hoo, you are aware that flies also serve as an important source of data for the academic world? Their simple structures make them rather ideal organisms to use in many experiments, wot? So remember, next time you see a fly, know that it's more than a bug that just flies around dumpsters!"
In the bug exhibit, the Fly is seen buzzing around the Rafflesia in the top-left section of the bug exhibit. There is also a description board next to where the Fly is buzzing around.
"Flies are often seen rubbing their forelegs to clean them, which seems odd, because, well, they're flies. However, they need to keep their legs clean as they contain taste and tactile receptors. By doing so, they can better savor the flavor of whatever they find to eat next. The legs also contain a sticky liquid so flies can more easily land on smooth surfaces."
''Disinfectant with alcohol is lethal to them."
''There is nothing more annoying than when these guys fly around your ear!"
Houseflies, Musca Domestica, are a common species of fly that can be found throughout the world. They have red compound eyes and are colored grey. The housefly is thought to have evolved in the Middle East 65 million years ago, and has spread with the dispearsal of man throughout the world. Flies can carry up to around 100 diseases, and they are also known to inhabit less hygenic areas. Flies live for around 15 to 25 days, and can have up to 500 offspring. They are around 6 to 9mm long. Houseflies can only survive in higher temperatures- In the winter months, they only exist at larvae or eggs. These larvae can be hatched from eggs in only a day. Flies only live in colder climates where humans are present.

LOVE the photos. Wish I had had this when I taught Pre-K and Kindergarten!
And who knew I could photograph teaching aids…haha. Merry Christmas lady!
Thanks Angela. I'm keeping up with you don't you know, and it's best you be getting good-er every day! Hey, pop over and visit my other Angela friend's blog (Mind Margins – see her comment on this post, and many others, for her blog link) – you guys are both true pals in my think-the-world-of book and have faced challenges with much grace and dignity. Merry Christmas to all your family!
Thank you Sorina! It was a fun challenge for sure!
The wall is a captivating abstract, even though we know what it is. And the next photo in monochrome works so well.

If you continue south from Ardgroom along the main R571 road you will know you are arriving at Eyeries when you round a bend and gasp at the idyllic location of the local GAA pitch.
If however, you remain on the backroads coming from Ardgroom you will have the opportunity to visit Kilcatherine Point, a remote and very scenic headland off the beaten track that has views of the spine of Beara – the Slieve Miskish Mountains, Coulagh Bay and across towards the mountains of the Ring of Kerry.
You could also stop off to visit the Hag of Beara, a mythological creature who according to legend was turned into this rock by Saint Caitarin after she stole a bible from him and he recovered it with the help of a local cripple. The stretch of drive from Kilcatherine into Eyeries village is particularly scenic and with the sun shining down you can't help but think that there really is nowhere else quite like it in the world (such an Irish way of thinking!). Closer to the village, the tallest Ogham Stone in the world can be found at Ballycrovane. It stands at over 5 metres tall so you can take a snap and try to remember your Stone Age facts from school history lessons!
Coming into the village, the brightly painted houses vividly contrast with the greens, blues and greys of nature all around. Eyeries village won the National Tidy Towns competition in 2012 and are certainly on track for more success in 2016 with each house and even the roads immaculate throughout!
Causkey's Bar in the village is probably one of the nicest places you could sit and sip a sunset drink out on the sundeck.
It may be a small village in a remote, rural part of the country but we are in west Cork so of course there will be great food! You will find delicious dishes using fresh local ingredients at the Eyeries Bistro and when I say delicious, I mean really, really delicious prawns!! The outdoor terrace is very well sheltered from the prevailing south-westerlies so you can sit outdoors and enjoy the beautiful views of the area in comfort.
Once the sun goes down, you could settle in with the locals at O'Shea's pub across the road from the Bistro for a game of cards or just get cosy in front of the fire!
Do be tempted to travel further along to Allihies. The road from Eyeries hugs the coastline under the shelter of the Slieve Miskish mountains & is a breath-taking experience in itself, read more here…

Like so many teenagers I was not really interested in school.
Don't get me wrong, as a good girl would, I went to school every day and arrived on time, I followed the lessons and tried to get whatever teachers threw at me into my head.
I always had to work really hard to get somewhat good grades and having parents who eventually have given up on me because they didn't know what else to do to make me understand that school, as boring as it seems, is very important, didn't help either.
moment just wouldn't sink in. At. All.
So I graduated with what you would call average, more or less, was trained as a law secretary, again only average as this was the last job available and not really what I wanted….
Forward 20 odd years later with 4 children and a husband I finally realized that I could have done so much better. And that realization niggled at me for quite some time.
It is a shame really that humans don't be born wise! What troubles could we spare us!
So I started to study anatomy and physiology to become a sports massage therapist and passed!
I learned so much, did online quizzes, studied with flashcards until I got everything in my head and while I did so I thought, that is exactly what I should have done back then! I should have learned and put effort in.
Yeah well, should have, could have, would have… we can't turn back time so I pushed the thought away.
As I said, I passed and can call myself a sports massage therapist from now on.
Question is, will I find something? I actually wanted to get another diploma for traditional Swedish massage, but money at the moment is more than tight.
OK, tight is the understatement of the day, heck what do I say, of the month!
We are skinned as we are going to move house, hopefully mid July but there are so many ginormous stones in our way, you have no idea, but if you are interested in why, read my next blog!


When you're flanked by water and tropics, what else do you do but cruise for Miami's best scenic drives?
No matter how much we bemoan the traffic in this city, there are few things more pleasurable on a sunny day (or even as a rainy day activity in Miami) than hitting the road for a scenic drive in Miami. Highways lined with palm trees and waterfront bridges that stretch far beyond South Beach aren't just for tourists rolling around in their rented convertibles. You, too, can have a blast the wheel. So fill up the tank, wait out rush hour and start planning to pilot your way through these eight scenic drives in Miami.
Perpetually congested with cars and tourists, the famous stretch is a slow crawl you'll want to drive with the top down, windows rolled and eyes peeled for whatever strange South Beach creature creeps up next.
Wind around Coconut Grove, weaving through the neighborhood's high rises, marinas and adorable parks, like Peacock and David T. Kennedy.
Rickenbacker's tall bridges and waterfront stretches make it a favorite of motorists seeking unobstructed ocean views.
Resist the urge to take your hands off the wheel: this sunny strip of highway, which connects Downtown to South Beach, has megamansions to one side, towering cruise ships to the other and was made for Instagram stories. Luckily, that's what passengers are for.
With a verdant canopy of shade and a bumpy asphalt that jolts, Old Cutler's nearly 15-mile southward stretch from Coral Gables is like a leafy tunnel.
Float through a string of tiny islands, each with houses larger and more luxurious than the next, as you make your way on or off the mainland.
This is the road that takes you from Miami to Key West, and the one that makes all the guidebooks, magazines and Instagram posts because it's just so damn gorgeous—even if the speed limit seems just above a slow crawl. Spanning 113 miles, traversing multiple counties and passing through islands and keys, the mostly waterfront Overseas Highway is also home to the famous seven-mile bridge.

The Dos and Don'ts of 'Social Distancing'
Experts weigh in on whether you should cancel your dates, dinner parties, and gym sessions.

Editor's Note: Information about the novel coronavirus is rapidly changing. As a result, some of the information or advice in this article may be out-of-date. You can find The Atlantic's most current COVID-19 coverage here.
Updated at 11:20 a.m. ET on March 19, 2020.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued guidelines for "community mitigation strategies" to limit the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, which include recommendations for "social distancing"—a term that epidemiologists are using to refer to a conscious effort to reduce close contact between people and hopefully stymie community transmission of the virus.
But what exactly does "social distancing" look like for a woman trying to go about her life while staying healthy and helping keep the people around her healthy? Even detailed instructions are difficult to sift for actionable advice. If I have a fourth date tonight, do I go? If I'm invited to a wedding in two weeks in another state, is it too late to cancel? If we're on lockdown, and I live alone, can I walk to my friend's apartment when I feel sad? If I end up officially quarantined, can I walk around the park at night for some fresh air?
The CDC guidelines acknowledge factors like the size of a community, its population density, its access to health care, and caveats that social-distancing measures can "be scaled up or down depending on the evolving local situation." There are conflicting messages coming from media and people's peers: On Reddit, young people are signing a "self-quarantine manifesto" while, at a press conference, the mayor of New York City is telling people to continue visiting bars and restaurants as normal, to protect the local economy.

You're Likely to Get the Coronavirus
Read: Cancel everything
So I took my personal questions to a series of public-health experts. "I think it's a hard time because many of the recommendations we're making are about increasing the distance between people, but of course, being close to people is what makes life a pleasure," Carolyn Cannuscio, the director of research at the Center for Public Health Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania said in a phone call. "So this is going to be a very difficult time. No question."
If you're confused about what to do right now, you're not alone—even these experts occasionally disagreed on the answers to my questions. Where there were discrepancies, I've included all the different answers as fully as possible, and as the situation has evolved, I've allowed the experts to update their answers to questions to reflect new information. This guide is aimed toward those who are symptom-free and not part of an at-risk group, with an addendum at the end for those in quarantine. If you are symptom-free but are over 60 years old; have asthma, heart disease, or diabetes; or are otherwise at risk, experts recommend defaulting to the most conservative response to each of these questions.
There is a general consensus that while young and healthy people who are at lower risk for personally suffering severe illness from the coronavirus don't have to be locking themselves in their homes for the next month, they do need to dramatically alter their daily lives, starting now.
If I'm Symptom-Free:
Should I be avoiding bars and restaurants?
As of March 16, in some areas, restaurants and bars have been ordered to close for everything but takeout and delivery.
Cannuscio: People should avoid gathering in public places. People should be at home as much as possible. The measures that have worked to get transmission under control or at least to bend the curve, in China and South Korea, have been extreme measures to increase social distancing.
Albert Ko, the chair of the epidemiology department at the Yale School of Public Health: The CDC recommendations are to keep six to 10 feet away from other people. Bottom line, there's no absolute indication not to go to bars and restaurants, but in practicing good public health—which is kind of a responsibility for everybody in the country—really think about how we can decrease those close contacts.
Can I have a small group of friends over to my house for a dinner party or a board-game night?
Crystal Watson, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security: With few exceptions, now is the time to cancel get-togethers. Dating, family visits, house parties, should all be postponed or held virtually if possible. There are personal situations where you must go out for work, for supplies, or to help someone else in need. In those cases, take precautions to keep your distance from others, and wash your hands frequently. If you develop a fever or cough, don't go out unless it is absolutely necessary or to seek medical care.
Ko: We're in a gray zone now. The public-health imperative is to create social distance; that's the only way we're going to stop this. Think about having those get-togethers but practicing good public health: not sitting very close, trying to keep distance. Wash your hands; avoid touching your face. There are places on the board game that people are constantly touching—routinely disinfect [those, as well as] doorknobs, the bathroom faucets, those types of things. There's no absolute rule about what works, but what we do know is that decreasing the size of those gatherings, increasing the distance, practicing good hygiene will go a long way.
Cannuscio: I would recommend that people minimize social contact, and that means limiting all social engagements. That includes intimate gatherings among friends. I think the exception is if two households are in strict agreement that they are also going to reduce all outside contact and then those two households socialize together, to support one another. I can see social and mental-health advantages to that kind of approach.
Should I stop dating?
Ko: Dating is usually one person and another person. What we're really worried about in terms of public health are these large gatherings where you have people crowded together, and you can have what we call super-spreading events. The risk of those goes up exponentially the larger the size of the gathering. Dating is at the other end. I think you can still date.
Cannuscio: It is a time to be very cautious about initiating contact with new people. This seems like a great time to get creative with your text messages. [Or] take it to FaceTime or a phone call.
Can I go to the gym?
Watson: I would not advise people to go to the gym to work out now. I am trending more toward being conservative with social-distancing measures the more we see from Italy and with the changes in guidance from CDC and state and local health authorities. So, I would not advise people to go to the gym to work out now.
Cannuscio: No. In the coming days, as the crisis escalates, our freedom of movement may be restricted, so people will have to get creative about exercising at home. Can someone please host virtual dance parties? Create a playlist to get us through the pandemic? Our family has felt some relief after blasting music and dancing around the kitchen—not to deny the horror of what is happening now, but to deal with it. Our daughter actually thanked us when we threw a dance party. Highly recommend.
Can I go For a walk outside with a friend, as long as we stay six feet apart and neither of us feels sick?
Cannuscio: For now, walking, running, [and] biking outside, in uncrowded locations, seems like a healthy thing to do. Our family has driven to the woods in the past few days, in search of green and open space. For urban dwellers, finding an empty path is challenging. For people in more remote areas, being outside is a great way to cope. Walking outside with a friend, while keeping distance, is likely to be a relatively low-risk activity. With every additional social contact, the risk of encountering an infected person goes up, so strictly minimize the number of people you interact with. I wouldn't pick a new friend every day! Stick with one friend, and preferably one who limits their other social contacts, too.
Watson: If you don't have symptoms, going out in nature where you are not within six feet of other people is okay. We need to look after our mental and physical health, and fresh air, nature, and exercise are really important for that. However, meeting people is risky and could undermine our collective sacrifice to reduce viral transmission, especially if you don't keep your distance. If you do go out with a friend, stay at least six feet away and avoid physical contact.
Read: Here's who should be avoiding crowds right now
Should I be worried about going to the grocery store?
Cannuscio: I would say try to shop at times when there are very few other shoppers there. That [could mean] going first thing in the morning when the store opens, or late at night. I think many people will rely on delivery, and that's just the nature of our lives right now. For delivery workers, I would say, leave the food on the doorstep and ring the bell, rather than interacting face-to-face with the person who's ordered the food.
Should I take public transportation?
Cannuscio: First of all, people who have the opportunity or the option of working at home should absolutely use that option right now. For people who have essential functions and have to be at work, if they have any flexibility in their schedules they should try to ride at non-peak hours. On subways or buses, people should try to stand as far away from other people as possible. I think it's important for planners to think about, for example, putting more buses on the most heavily traveled routes, to maybe thin out the crowds on those buses. In cities where it's possible to walk, that would be a better option.
For people who can afford to use ride-sharing services, you're limiting the number of people you're in contact with as the rider, so to me that seems like a reasonable step to take. Of course, I worry about all those drivers who have people in and out of their cars all day long.
And of course, everyone should be using good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette. If you have to cough, cough into your elbow. And I can't believe I have to say this, but I've been in public places where people have been spitting, in parks or on the sidewalk. I would ask people not to spit!
Watson: It's hard to say "Don't take public transit," because a lot of people rely on it to get to work. If you don't have to and you can drive, it's probably a good idea. It will help other people who have to take public transit for their livelihoods to do so and do so more safely.
Should my family be canceling events like birthday parties AND weddings?
As of March 15, the CDC recommends that all gatherings involving 50 people or more be canceled for at least the next eight weeks.
Cannuscio: One of the best ways we can show love to the people we care about is to step back and to stay away. In many cases that takes courage, and it takes speaking out over these social norms that dictate that we should be polite and we should be together and we should celebrate and gather.
Read: The worst outcome
Should I stop visiting elderly relatives?
Watson: I think we should start limiting visitation to people who are in assisted-living facilities and nursing homes. I know that's really tough, and maybe setting things up so you can visit them virtually is a good idea. [That way], they can see you and say hello, [without putting] them at extra risk.
Cannuscio: I think if we are fortunate enough to live near our elders and we get into the mode of seriously isolating our own families, then one person should be designated to go and visit. If we're not in a situation where we can truly limit our own social contact, then we will be putting that elder at risk by going to visit.
Should I be canceling haircuts and other nonessential appointments?
Watson: Those are more one-on-one interactions. I think there's a lower likelihood that exposure is going to occur that way. I don't think that's a big concern.
Cannuscio: I would say hold off on your haircut and then when you go back, when it's clear that we have vanquished this foe, everybody please give your hairdresser extra, extra tips. I hope that policies will be put into place to protect the paychecks of people who will suffer during this period.
Should I avoid communal spaces in my apartment building?
Cannuscio: Try to schedule your use of those common spaces so you're going at times when other people aren't around. If you know there are not a lot of people in the laundry room or mailroom at 6 a.m., go at 6 a.m. People will be inconvenienced, but it's important to try to spread ourselves out.
Should I limit physical interaction with my partner, or other people I live with?
Ko: That's really hard to do. Again, what we're really worried about is large gatherings. In the home, close contact is almost inevitable.
Cannuscio: I would say if you're in a steady, monogamous relationship and you and that other person are limiting your social contacts, then be as intimate as you want to be.
Watson: If you get sick, try to maintain some distance. Otherwise, households should go about their normal business.
Can I take my kids to a playground?
Watson: This is a tough call. I will only be taking my son when it is not busy and I can keep him six feet away from other kids. If I walk to the park with him and see many other kids playing, I turn around and go home or just continue on with our walk.
The outdoors is not an ideal condition for survival of the coronavirus, and it will likely not survive long on playground equipment due to a combination of factors such as precipitation and UV light from the sun. However, to be extra cautious, it may be better to avoid the equipment and play catch, or some other outdoor game instead.
Cannuscio: Certainly, there is no chance I would recommend an indoor shared playroom, playground, or play space. For my own children, even the outdoor playground is off-limits, and I would suggest the same to others. One goal is to keep people (including children) away from one another—and children congregate at playgrounds. A second goal is to avoid contaminated surfaces, like play equipment. It's impractical to suggest that people could use the playground while avoiding people and disinfecting the play surfaces. For now, find the widest open space available to you and your family, and go there.
If I Get Symptoms or Am Exposed to Someone Who's Sick:
If I am waiting out a 14-day quarantine, can I have visitors as long as they stand far away from me?
Cannuscio: No, quarantine means "stay away from other people." You shouldn't have visitors.
Ko: Under quarantine, people really shouldn't enter the home or be in the same physical space.
Read: What will you do if you start coughing?
Can I walk around outside at all when I'm under quarantine?
Cannuscio: For people who live in areas that are not densely populated, walking around in their yard is probably safe. The idea is that they should not come into contact with any other people. They need to be strict about it. We are not going to defeat this and halt transmission if people loosely interpret what it means to self-quarantine or self-isolate.

Q: Migrating Established TCP connection with docker containers Is it possible to transparently migrate an established TCP connection along with the Docker container from one node to another?
My use case is scaling/re-scheduling an web-app which relies on WebSockets but I believe there would be more use cases for other application protocols and plain tcp.
What I'm looking for is a way to do it completely transparently for client applications. I'm aware it's possible to reconnect upon disconnection but this is not what I need.
I've been looking at SockMI agent but it seems to be still in beta and missing documentation.
If I understand this correctly the migration would require the following at high-level:

*

*Trigger scaling action (when it all needs to start)

*Launch replacement container on new node

*Freeze container's processes on original node

*Put tcp connections on hold

*Transfer the processes and their state across to new node

*Migrate the TCP connection

A:
Is it possible to transparently migrate an established TCP connection ... from one node to another?

No.

Loving v. Virginia, then and now: race, sexuality, religion, & law
Posted by Ellen C. Bush on 12 June 2009, 1:01 pm
We welcome a guest post today from Fay Botham, author of the forthcoming book Almighty God Created the Races: Christianity, Interracial Marriage, and American Law. In her book, Botham demonstrates how Christianity was important to both racist and antiracist movements in the 19th and 20th centuries and how those movements influenced litigation over matters of marriage and race. In this post on the anniversary of the Loving v. Virginia decision, she shows how 21st-century arguments against same-sex marriage echo the biblical defense of racism from a previous generation.–ellen
June 12, 2009, marks the forty-second anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's 1967 Loving v. Virginia ruling, which declared laws against interracial marriage unconstitutional, thus ending the nearly three-hundred-year American history of such laws. In recent years, scholars and journalists have remarked upon the parallels between interracial and same-sex marriage. But one aspect that has not been adequately examined is the way that religious beliefs bolster arguments against both types of marriage. The anniversary of the Loving case offers an opportunity to reflect upon the links between racism, heterosexism, and Christian belief.
It all began in June 1958, when eighteen-year-old Mildred Jeter, who was part black and part Cherokee, and twenty-four-year-old Richard Loving, who was of English-Irish descent, left their Virginia hometown to get married in Washington, D.C. The couple then returned to Virginia, but their matrimonial bliss ended abruptly about five weeks later. During the wee hours of a sultry July morning, three police officers entered the Lovings' home through their unlocked front door. The county sheriff and two deputies found their way into the couple's bedroom, shined a flashlight in their faces, and demanded to know what they were doing in bed together. When Mildred answered, "I'm his wife," and Richard directed the officers to the District of Columbia marriage certificate that hung on the wall, the sheriff curtly informed them that their marriage was invalid in the state of Virginia. He then arrested the bewildered young couple and hauled them off to jail. There they were charged with having violated Virginia statutes prohibiting both interracial marriage and leaving the state to evade that law. They pleaded guilty to the charges, and Judge Leon Bazile sentenced each to one year in the county jail, but suspended the sentence on the condition that they agree to leave Virginia and not return together for 25 years.
The Lovings eventually went to court to challenge their convictions, contending that Virginia's antimiscegenation statutes violated their constitutional rights to due process and equal protection. In 1965, Judge Bazile reaffirmed the validity of both the laws and his original decision, concluding his remarks with the following words:
Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay, and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.
Unresolved in Virginia courts, the case—aptly named Loving v. Virginia—went on to the U.S. Supreme Court. On 12 June 1967, after nine years of fighting for the legality of their marriage, Mildred and Richard Loving at last received the news they had sought. The Court ruled that antimiscegenation laws violated Americans' Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process and equal protection of the law, and were thus unconstitutional. Chief Justice Earl Warren delivered the Court's unanimous opinion. "Under our Constitution," he stated, "the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual and cannot be infringed by the State."
Two years ago on 12 June 2007, Mildred Loving—an active member of a Baptist church, and widowed for thirty-two years from the man she had fought so hard to wed legally—released a statement commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Loving decision. Titled "Loving for All," the statement quoted Judge Bazile's "almighty God" statement, observing that many people had once believed "it was God's plan to keep people apart and that the government should discriminate against people in love." Mrs. Loving proclaimed her belief that all Americans, regardless of their race, sex, or sexual orientation, "should have that same freedom to marry. . . . That's what Loving, and loving, are all about."
Highlighting the connections between historical arguments against interracial marriage, and contemporary arguments against same-sex marriage, Mrs. Loving's statement subtly reiterates the claims I wish to make here: namely, that a similar, Bible-based line of reasoning sustains both arguments, and that such arguments are thus unstable, for biblical interpretations are mutable and historically contextual. Like contemporary same-sex couples, interracial couples of the American past faced accusations that their relationships were "unnatural" and "evil," and were "corruptions" of what God had intended. Some white southerners claimed that God had made black and white persons unequal and thus unsuitable for marriage. They asserted that God would punish Americans for violating divine law by marrying across the color line. And when the possibility of interracial relationships allegedly loomed following the 1954 Brown decision, some southerners adamantly declared, "Never!" As demonstrated in my forthcoming book, Almighty God Created the Races, these beliefs about God having created "separate races" derived from longstanding, nineteenth- and twentieth-century interpretations of stories in the book of Genesis.
Similarly, current disagreements between conservative Christians and Christian proponents of same-sex marriage center on biblical interpretations. Yet like the white southerners in the century following the Civil War, those who today oppose same-sex relationships for "biblical" reasons fail to acknowledge that while the words on the page of the Bible may remain the same, how people understand those words changes over time. Moreover, interpretations abound even during a single historical era. This is because individuals declare what they believe to be biblical "truth," based upon what they think they "know" at any given moment. Claims to the contrary aside, biblical interpretations spring not from the lips of God, but from God's earthly mouthpieces. The "truth" of any given interpretation is thus relative rather than absolute.
Persons harboring discriminatory beliefs about race often hold similar, and thus mutually reinforcing, views on sexuality and gender. Especially when such beliefs purport to be based on biblical precepts, increasingly rigid ideologies emerge that disavow alternative perspectives. Yet how much more divine our world might be were we instead to challenge individual and systemic oppression, while maintaining the humility to recognize that our beliefs are far more relative than certain, and more the consequences of our historical moment and personal interpretive paradigm than of any absolute truth.

Article: Trenberth, K.E., Cheng, L., Jacobs, P., Zhang, Y., & Fasullo, J. (2018). Hurricane Harvey Links to Ocean Heat Content and Climate Change Adaptation. Earth's Future, 6, 730-744. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018EF000825.
This June, we entered the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season carrying the burden of fresh wounds; last year's string of hurricanes added up to one of the most catastrophic seasons on record. Collectively, the 2017 hurricanes cost thousands of lives and over $300 billion U.S. dollars (USD) in the destruction of homes, businesses, and infrastructure. Many survivors' lives were left in ruins.
Most of the damage was caused by three major hurricanes that occurred within a month of each other: Harvey, Irma, and Maria. Harvey was unique in that it poured exceptional amounts of rain on the Houston area (see Figure 1), flooding hundreds of thousands of homes, displacing tens of thousands of residents, and causing $125 billion USD in damages. It's tied with Hurricane Katrina (2005) as the costliest hurricane in U.S. history. After evaluating its effects on the Greater Houston area, the U.S. Geological Survey reported last week that Harvey was the most significant rainfall event on record in the country.
Harvey, a category 4 hurricane with winds reaching over 130 miles per hour, barreled through the Gulf of Mexico before making landfall in Texas on August 26th, where it collided with an atmospheric front – a boundary between air masses of different temperatures. The front acted as a barrier that locked the storm in place over the Houston area. By being situated over both land and water, it was continuously fed by warm, moist air from the sea while pouring torrential rain over land (see Figure 2).
The science of Harvey's rare, heavy rainfall – which amounted to over 60 inches within a week in some areas – has been explored by the present study. The researchers used a compilation of ocean data from the past 50 years to show that a warmer climate (hence a warmer ocean surface) can directly impact the intensity, duration, and precipitation of recent tropical cyclones.
While all of these conditions must occur simultaneously, their presence does not guarantee formation; however, appropriate conditions can prompt intense and long-lived storms once they do form. This is why the frequency of tropical cyclones is not projected to rise with a warming planet, but the intensity and duration most likely will (IPCC, 2013).
The study focuses on the first three conditions – a warming ocean surface, high humidity, and convection. The process at the root of these conditions is called latent heating – or evaporation – in which the warm ocean surface cools itself by absorbing heat into water vapor that rises into the atmosphere. The heat is released when the vapor condenses into clouds and rain, warming the air and fueling storm clouds.
The researchers used Harvey as a case study to explore how the unusually high upper ocean heat content (OHC) – the amount of heat stored in the upper ocean – was abruptly reduced after the storm swept through the Gulf of Mexico last August. They compared data over 20-day intervals before and after the storm. Observations from floats, moorings, ships, and satellites were combined to find the OHC in the Gulf using temperatures from the upper 160 meters (525 feet) of the ocean, within the surface layer that holds most of its heat.
By comparing 2017 to average conditions from 1961-1990, they found that the surface layer in the Gulf of Mexico contained record amounts of heat prior to Harvey (see Figure 3) with associated SSTs above 30°C (86°F). After Harvey, temperatures in the surface layer had reduced by 1-2°C (2-4°F) while deeper temperatures remained the same, indicating a heat loss to the atmosphere. It seemed probable that the sudden heat loss was caused primarily by latent heating (or evaporation) from Harvey. Thus, the record rainfall was likely the result of an unusually large quantity of heat and moisture extracted from the ocean.
The reduction in surface temperature, while immense, still left behind SSTs above the threshold for a hurricane to thrive. This is not very common, and likely contributed to Harvey's long duration. Usually, hurricanes leave behind a "cold wake" – a track of cold surface water that has been pumped up from the deep by the storm's rotation, helping it weaken. In a warmer climate, the surface OHC is so immense that even a powerful hurricane like Harvey could not disrupt the full depth of the warm surface layer.
After accounting for other factors and uncertainties, they were able to demonstrate that the reduction in OHC was likely the direct effect of latent heating by Harvey – evaporation enabled by record heat content in the surface layer – which prolonged torrential downpours.
Flooding from Harvey completely devastated residents of the Houston area. The wettest hurricane in U.S. history caused massive roadway closures and vast power outages, requiring tens of thousands of stranded residents to be rescued by helicopter or personal boats. Over 100 people could not be saved, and died during or after the storm. Many displaced residents had no home to return to.
A friend of mine, Sofia Ghouse, moved to Houston four years ago to begin work at NASA as an engineer and flight controller. While she felt quite lucky to have been spared damage to her own home, she recalls her paranoia during the downpours that lasted for several days. Would the water reach her doorstep? Was it safe to fall asleep? Hurricane warnings had been vague, so she checked the weather on her phone obsessively. Having come from the Midwest, she struggled with the concept of having no safe space to escape to, having to simply wait it out.
In the final days of the storm, she recalled that Dickinson, a city on the outskirts of Houston, was hit very hard. Many of her colleagues who lived in the area had to be evacuated. There was an uneasy charge in the atmosphere at work for a while.
"Everyone's still shellshocked from Harvey," said Jen Culham-Hamilton, a resident who has lived near Galveston for the past 15 years, describing the trauma left in Harvey's wake. Jen was heavily involved in volunteer relief efforts immediately after the storm and for the following months, especially in the Dickinson area.
At least two dozen of her friends and family were severely impacted by the floods, which is how she initially became involved with a group of volunteers who gutted 5-7 houses a day for six weeks straight. They came to call themselves the "Harvey Wall Bangers," a term her friend coined when she witnessed their tireless efforts to quickly work through severely damaged homes that grew layers of mold within a couple days in the extreme heat.
"At first, everyone walked around in a daze," she told me, describing the immediate aftermath of Harvey. "It wasn't just their house – it was everything they owned that got ruined." Documents, family photos, mementos, electronic devices – many people lost everything.
While Jen suffered from exhaustion and a lung infection after being exposed to moldy air during relief efforts, she noted that the lasting effect has been the emotional trauma of the experience. A bit of rain triggers anxiety. Concern over what will happen to the dispossessed overwhelms her. The despair still haunts her and many volunteers and victims she knows, while the rest of the country appears to have moved on.
The flooding caused by Harvey was exacerbated by urban sprawl in the Houston area. Houston's economy has flourished in recent decades, with a population expanding from 400,000 to a whopping 6 million residents (Kimmelman, 2017). This boom has led to unconstrained development onto floodplains, coastal prairies, and wetlands that once helped absorb floodwater.
Using the scientific findings of the present study, the researchers place Harvey in the context of adaptive measures to avoid disasters caused by increasingly severe weather. Harvey was an unfortunate example of what can go wrong when communities are not prepared or even made aware of risks. For example, most properties in the area were not covered by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) – federal insurance intended to protect those vulnerable to flooding. Why were only 1 in 6 households in Harris County (a hard-hit area) covered by the NFIP? Jen and Sofia, who both participated in relief efforts in Dickinson, noted that very few if any of the lower-income homes – the most vulnerable – were covered by any sort of insurance at all.
The researchers emphasize that work needs to be done to overcome the challenges of a changing climate in coastal regions. Some of this work includes addressing inadequate regulations on building design and maintenance, property development restrictions (zoning), and amendments to insurance policies that consider the realities of growing flood risks due to climate change.
It won't be easy to catch up to the already present impacts of a warming planet. Regardless, I was left with earnest hope learning about the community response to Harvey's destruction. Those who so naturally took time off from work, traveled from afar, donated money, used personal boats, risked their emotional and physical health – all to rescue, support, and befriend strangers in need – are deeply inspiring. Perhaps policymakers could learn a thing or two from their humanity.

Stock Market Crash Heralds Great Depression
< Previous Moment
Next Moment >
PRIMARY SOURCE: First person account, 1930s
…I was scarcely prepared for the painfully awry conditions that I found in Lawrence, once the leading wool and worsted city in the United States, a half hour's trolley ride from Lowell….
Lawrence, with its tremendous mills, was a "mistake," which the mill owners had been trying to rectify by operating the mills only a little more than was necessary to pay the overhead on the old mills, and thus killing the unions; for when jobless or working only part-time, workers cannot pay their union fees. The process of rectifying this "mistake" was still going on when I came. And it was a painful process to the people —especially the working people — of the city of Lawrence.
I happened to arrive before daybreak on a Monday morning and, walking about, saw hundreds of shabby, silent, hollow-eyed men and women, native and foreign born, going toward the immense, dark mills. I discovered later that very few of them were going to work; most were seeking work. On Mondays they usually went to the mills to learn from the employment managers if any help would be needed during the week. Many of them had been making these Monday-morning pilgrimages for months, some of them for years, getting only a day's or two days' work now and then.
By eight o'clock the great majority of them were returning from the mills. Some had been told to come to work on Wednesday or Thursday or Friday; others, perhaps a majority of them, were told there was no work for them this week. Perhaps next week.
Women hurried home. Men stood on curbs, wretchedness inherent in their every action and aspect; penniless men, most of them without any intelligent, objective idea of what was happening to them, what was going on in Lawrence or in the textile industry. One of them said to me, "I don't know nothing, only that I have no job. No job — no job," he repeated in a shrill, half-hysterical voice.

On this day in 1929, stock markets in Boston, New York, and other major American cities tumbled so dramatically that the day was named Black Tuesday. Capping five days of frenzied panic selling, Black Tuesday marked the beginning of the nation's — and the state's — slide into the Great Depression. By 1934, Massachusetts cities that had once been prosperous centers of textile, shoe, and garment manufacturing were places of desperation. Unemployed workers wandered barefoot outside of shoe factories that had failed. Soup kitchens and bread lines offered food to the starving, but at a high cost to their self-esteem. A Washington relief worker wrote to her boss that "the picture is so grim that whatever words I use will seem hysterical and exaggerated."
While stockbrokers and ruined investors were struggling, by the summer of 1932, the suffering was most acute among textile, shoe, and garment workers whose factories had laid them off.
Although the American stock market had sustained steep losses the last week in October of 1929, Tuesday, October 29th is remembered as the beginning of the Great Depression. The Boston Stock Exchange, drawn into the whirlpool of panic selling that beset the New York Stock Exchange, lost over 25 percent of its value in two days of frenzied trading. The BSE, nearly 100 years old at the time, had helped raise the capital that had funded many of the Commonwealth's factories, railroads, and businesses. But after Black Tuesday, investors lost faith in the nation's stock exchanges. The stock market continued its slide, and by its lowest point in July of 1932, the market had lost nearly 90 percent of its value.
In Massachusetts, the lack of capital investment hit the already struggling manufacturing cities such as Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, and Worcester the hardest. While stockbrokers and ruined investors were struggling, by the summer of 1932, the suffering was most acute among textile, shoe, and garment workers whose factories had laid them off. Even though these workers had strong unions, the unions had no bargaining power. Factories that could not sell their goods for what it cost to make them cut production drastically or failed altogether. The head of the textile union at the time said simply, "Lowell, Lawrence, New Bedford, Maynard and Fall River . . . and most of the mill towns of the Blackstone Valley . . . are sad places." Many of the workers, he added, had been "jobless for months, some for years, and large numbers of those who have jobs work only one or two days a week, earning on average less than $10 a week." Conditions in the shoe towns of Lynn, Brockton, Stoneham, Haverhill, and Newburyport were just as bad. As shoe factories closed for lack of orders, unemployed shoe workers and their families went barefoot.
The head of the textile union at the time said simply, "Lowell, Lawrence, New Bedford, Maynard and Fall River . . . and most of the mill towns of the Blackstone Valley . . . are sad places."
In 1934, when the Depression was at its worst, unemployment in Massachusetts reached 25 percent, and more than half of the jobless had been so for at least a year. As textile and shoe factories closed, the malaise spread to industries that had once supplied those factories. The situation continued to deteriorate.
As evictions increased, families moved in together, sharing overcrowded apartments to avoid life on the streets. Some men became "tramps," moving from one town to another looking for any work or charity they could find. The lucky few who had access to vacant lots planted vegetables to stave off hunger. One Lowell mill worker recalled, "faced with starvation, we began to eat anything that was consumable. During the summer, dandelion greens were on our diet. During the winter, we ate hard bread. . . . Everywhere people starved, raiding garbage to stay alive." Malnourishment brought an increase in tuberculosis, rickets, and anemia.
In 1934 the federal government sent relief worker (and future war correspondent) Martha Gelhorn to document conditions among the unemployed in Massachusetts. Her report was heartbreaking. From Boston to Brockton, unemployed families told her, "We can't live on that $12 (family of 10) — we're going to starve — and my husband can't find work — he's out every day looking —and I get afraid about him — he gets so black. . . . It's a terrible thing when decent people have to beg. . . . What's the use of looking for work any more; there isn't any. And look at the children. How would you feel if you saw your own kids like that: half naked and sick?" Gelhorn concluded, "I could go on and on. It is hard to believe that these conditions exist in a civilized country."
"faced with starvation, we began to eat anything that was consumable. During the summer, dandelion greens were on our diet. During the winter, we ate hard bread. . . . Everywhere people starved, raiding garbage to stay alive."
Gelhorn described the psychic toll the Depression was taking. "I haven't been in one home that hasn't offered me the spectacle of a human being driven beyond his or her powers of endurance and sanity," she wrote. "They can't live on the work relief wages; they can't live on the Public Welfare grocery orders. They can't pay rent and are evicted. They are shunted from place to place, and are watching their children grow thinner and thinner; . . . There they are, for no reason that they can understand, forced to be beggars asking for charity. . . . Their pride is dying, but not without due agony."
On October 29, 1929, the newspapers had no idea of the magnitude of the catastrophe that was about to unfold in Massachusetts and across the nation. In Worcester, the Telegram and Gazette ran a headline, "Bankers Fail to Check Tumbling Stock Prices," followed by a reassuring story that Wall Street was now "Placing House in Order." The larger headline, however, was for a banquet given for presidential candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt in Springfield.
Only with the coming of World War II did jobs and prosperity return to the state. The War Department funded research in emerging technologies. Innovative solutions to defense needs emerged from Cambridge research laboratories, the General Electric plant in Lynn, the Quincy shipyards, and the Springfield Armory. After the war, these new technologies became the basis of the greatest prosperity the Bay State had ever known.
Among of the Great Depression's most enduring legacies are the public works projects that were undertaken with the support of New Deal agencies. Several of the Commonwealth's state reservations and forests have structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps that are still in use today.

Écho de Moscou (en , Ekho Moskvy) est une des premières radios indépendantes russes. La station a commencé la diffusion le  (elle s'appelait alors « Radio-M ») et est liquidée le , pendant l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie. Les principales émissions étaient celles d'actualités (politique, culture, histoire, sport), des analyses et des observations sur la vie de la société russe et des programmes d'auteur.

66 % des actions de la station appartiennent au géant gazier Gazprom, le reste des actions sont distribuées parmi les membres de la rédaction. D'après les statuts de la station, la politique de la rédaction est déterminée uniquement par le rédacteur en chef de cette radio.

Selon les statistiques, l'auditoire d'Écho de Moscou était d'environ  personnes à Moscou et environ 1,5 million dans les autres régions de la fédération de Russie.

Histoire
La radio émet depuis août 1990. Ce nouveau média profite des possibilités offertes par une nouvelle loi sur la presse. C'est l'époque de la politique de glasnost du président Mikhaïl Gorbatchev. La radio dispose du soutien de l'Association radio du ministère des télécommunications, du journal Ogoniok, de la faculté de journalisme et de la mairie de Moscou. Elle est créée notamment par une petite poignée de journalistes issus du service informationnel en français de Radio Moscou, et s'appelle Radio-M-Echo de Moscou. Elle ne propose à ses débuts que quelques heures de diffusion par jour.

Quelques jours plus tard, entre le 19 et le , pendant la tentative de coup d'état à Moscou, la diffusion ne peut se faire que dans des conditions extrêmes. Plusieurs blocages de la diffusion sont ordonnés par les putschistes du  et par le KGB. Des employés de la radio réussissent toutefois à relier le studio directement à l'émetteur par la ligne téléphonique et à continuer à émettre

À partir de 1994, elle entame une diffusion en continue 24h/24, et en 1997, elle diffuse également ses informations sur Internet.

En 1998, Écho de Moscou entre dans Media-Most. Alexeï Venediktov devient rédacteur en chef.

En 2000, dix ans après son lancement, l'équipe rédactionnelle est passée à cent personnes. Alexeï Venediktov est réélu rédacteur en chef. L'audience quotidienne est de 5 millions dans quarante-cinq villes. Mais dans la période 2000-2001, un conflit éclate entre Média-Most et son principal créancier, Gazprom-Media (dont le DG est Boris Jordan). Ce dernier rachète Média-Most.

En 2010, selon la société d'études Comcon, Écho de Moscou devient en  la première station de radio de Moscou en termes d'audience (un million d'auditeurs par jour). En 2017 : la journaliste Tatiana Felguengauer est victime d'une attaque au couteau, alors que l'Echo de Moscou est accusé « d'organiser une vision pro-occidentale à l'approche de l'élection présidentielle ».

Le , « Écho de Moscou » est bloqué par les autorités russes en raison de sa façon de couvrir l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie. Le , le conseil de direction se saborde et décide de sa liquidation complète (station de radio et site web).

Actionnaires, politique éditoriale, personnes-clés

66 % des actions de la station appartenaient au géant gazier Gazprom, le reste des actions étaient distribuées parmi les membres de la rédaction.

Son directeur général depuis 1992 jusqu'à 2014 était Iouri Fedoutinov et Alexeï Venediktov son rédacteur en chef. Sergueï Korzoun et Sergueï Buntman font partie des premiers journalistes, Sergueï Buntman en est devenu le vice-rédacteur en chef. L'écrivain satirique Viktor Chenderovitch intervient à l'antenne. Julia Latynina  est une des journalistes les plus connues de la station.

D'après les statuts de la station, la politique de la rédaction est déterminée uniquement par le rédacteur en chef de cette radio. Cette radio est considérée comme l'un des principaux médias d'opposition en Russie. Son site héberge des blogs de personnalités russes du monde politique et culturel. Dès le premier jour de son existence, l'équipe de rédaction adopte la règle suivante : . , précise le rédacteur en chef en 2004, ajoutant : .

Mikhaïl Gorbatchev, comme ancien dirigeant de l'Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques (URSS), mais aussi des dirigeants occidentaux comme Bill Clinton, Gerhard Schröder ou Jacques Chirac ont donné des interviews à cette radio, devenue notoire.

Audience
Selon les statistiques, l'auditoire d'Écho de Moscou était environ  personnes à Moscou et environ 1,5 million dans les autres régions de la fédération de Russie.

Pour autant, l'impact d'une radio est bien moins fort que celui des télévisions, contrôlées par le pouvoir. Et ce média radiophonique a servi aussi pendant des années d'alibi à Vladimir Poutine sur la liberté d'expression en Russie : .

Slogans de la station
 « Radio libre pour des gens libres » (en russe, "Свободное радио для свободных людей")
 « Écoutez la radio, le reste n'est qu'une vision » (en russe, "Слушайте радио, остальное - видимость")

Fréquences
 Moscou — 91,2 MHz.
 Riga — 102,7 MHz
 Saint-Pétersbourg — 91,5 MHz
 Chicago — 1330 kHz.

Hello! We're in the midst of a transition in Montana and Ohio's transition guide has been invaluable. Do any other states have theirs to share?#transition #Transitions @Kayla Leslie what would be the best way to ask other states if they are willing to share their resources?


Buying a car seat for your newborn or child is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a parent. Safety is a top priority but practicality, comfort and value for money are also key things to research. We've looked at everything you need to know before you make your decision.
What's the law around child car seats?
By law children must use a car seat until they're at least 12 years old, or 135cm/4ft 5in tall, whichever comes first. Children aged 12 and over (or who are taller than 135cm) must wear a seat belt. Failure to do this could see you face a fine of up to £500.
Child car seats must be approved – either to Regulation 44 (R44) or the latest, Regulation 129 (i-Size).
R44 seats are approved in 1 or more groups based on your child's weight, from group 0 and 0+ for newborn babies, up to group 3 for children weighing 22-36kg. Check your child's weight before buying any child seat and check it regularly as they grow.
R129 (i-Size) seats are approved up to a maximum child's natural standing height.
I-size seats are only suitable for use in cars with Isofix fittings and which have i-size approved seating positions.
Car safety laws are different around the world so if you're travelling abroad with your family always make sure you've checked local laws.
How safe is your car seat?
Safety is bound to be your top priority when choosing a child car seat. Compare the different safety features available. These include adjustable headrests and crash test results, which look at front, back and side impact. You also need to think about the comfort of your child in the seat – how much leg room do they have and how easy is it to fasten the straps or seat belt?
Child car seats must be fitted correctly and the child must be strapped in to the seat correctly in order to get the protection promised in any crash tests.
Will the child car seat fit in your car?
Not every child car seat will fit every model of car so it's important that you check compatibility with your current car. Or if you're buying a more family-friendly car, make sure it has the right fittings for you. Isofix child car seats fit directly into the car itself rather than you having to thread them through the seat belt, although not all cars, especially older ones, have this. These systems are considered safer but this isn't always the case with every model so do your homework. If you have 3 or more children you'll also need to look at whether you can fit all your child car seats safely into your car.
Aimed at children aged 4-12, the Diono Monterey 2 has been designed for comfort and safety. Expanding sides grow with your child, the deep side wings and head rest offer protection and comfort, while metal reinforcements provide side impact safety. It's Isofix equipped and comes in a variety of colours. Dual cup holders are a nice touch and will hopefully minimise drink spills. It's reasonably priced although the covers are hand wash rather than machine wash.
Need a child car seat that will last you a few years? The Nuna Aace aims to take toddlers all the way from the age of 3 to 12. This child car seat is quite large and bulky, which might be a problem if you have to fit more than one child in the car, but it's deceptively lightweight. With 10 different headrest positions, 3 seat depths and 8 recline options, it'll grow with your child and you can use it with a seat belt or Isofix fittings. Scoring well in crash tests, with side impact protection pods, this is a safe option, with plenty of padding, providing comfort even for longer journeys.
Suitable from birth up to 13kg/ 29lb (12-15 months), the Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus is i-Size compliant and Isofix compatible. With a Side Protection System, impact-absorbing material, padded headrest, and a 'baby-hugg' inlay, it's safe and comfortable for your baby. Lightweight, it also easily clicks into a large range of pushchairs including the Bugaboo, MaxiCosi and iCandy when used with adaptors, which are sold separately. A removable and machine washable cover makes it practical and simple to use.
A premium option, the Britax Dualfix i-Size aims to offset price with longevity, taking your child all the way from newborn up to the age of 4 (or 105cm tall). Designed on a 360 degree swivel, it can be used both rear and front facing (once your child is 76cm or over). It has 12 recline positions and extended leg space, with a flat lying position for your newborn. Easy to install, with Isofix, it performs well in all crash tests.
The Cosatto Come & Go Isofix Group 0+/1 is packed full of safety features including deep side impact protection and a reinforced shell construction. Built to last your child from birth to the age of 4 (18kg), an 'anti-escape system' stops even the most determined toddlers from wriggling free. The seat can be rotated to the side to make it easier to get your child in and out of the car and then locks back into position for travel. Pop-off washable covers make it easy to keep clean.

B|D collaborated with Hawkins\Brown, Max Fordham, HOP & Northcroft to deliver the first phase of the City of London Freemen's School redevelopment in Ashtead Park, Surrey from 2012 to 2014.
B|D completed an extensive enabling works package at the school over the summer of 2012 that included an extended woodland car park, a junior school adventure play trail, an ECB approved cricket practice area, an enhanced MUGA and extended All Weather Hockey pitch set in a Registered Park and sensitive landscape setting.
Phase 1 of the masterplan for the new build music and boarding houses with landscape courtyard was completed in December 2014. The level changes between the buildings are taken up with hard and soft landscape within the courtyard to provide a DDA compliant route and space for students to rest and recline in a sheltered courtyard. The paving design drew inspiration from musical notes with a dynamic patchwork of paving and lighting providing a cohesive link between the music block and the boarding house.
The courtyard is softened through structural planting coupled with a lawn providing space for pupils to congregate.
Phase 2 of the masterplan for the new swimming pool building with links to the wider school campus achieved planning approval in August 2015 and is on site / due for completion in 2017.

On 23-24 June the MoodleMot conference took place at the Óbuda University in Budapest, Hungary. The conference aim was to learn about Moodle, the open-source e-learning Platform. It was well attended by around 75 visitors representing policy makers, educationalists, IT experts, HR experts, L&D specialists and teachers of medical schools throughout Hungary. Mira Madoki contributed on behalf of WATCHME with an oral presentation and active discussions.
At the VEC 2016 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada | June 20 - 21, 2016, Harold Bok gave a Preconference Workshop on behalf of WATCHME. During the presentation the WATCHME-Project was mentioned as an example of new developments concerning EPAs, programmatic assessment and portfolios. Abstract Details: Programmatic assessment in veterinary medical education: integrating learning and assessment In recent years, health professional curricula have evolved to incorporate programmatic approaches to assessment in order to enhance students' learning towards predefined outcomes. Building on best practices and educational theory, development, delivery and evaluation of these programs of assessment focus on improving the validity and reliability of the methods used AND enhancing and facilitating student learning. In this model, assessment and learning are intertwined by making each individual assessment maximally informative for learning. Even though this theoretical model for programmatic assessment has been embraced by educators, its feasibility and value at curriculum level has not yet been studied extensively. In this workshop participants will learn about the ins-and-outs of programmatic assessment. The competency-based assessment program at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, will be used as an illustration of the model. The workshop will be highly interactive, requiring participants to use the evidence and translate it to their assessment practices.
Teacher track members Liina Malva, Äli leijen and Bert Slof presented the WatchMe project during the Bringing Teacher Education Forward conference (Oslo, 6 – 9 June 2016, www.uv.uio.no/ils/om/aktuelt/arrangementer/2016/teacher-education---conference-2016/). The conference attracted 200 persons from 29 different countries and with different backgrounds; educational practitioners (i.e., teachers, teacher educators), educational researchers and policy-makers. The members participated in the symposia and paper sessions and presented the results from the formative evaluation of the personalized feedback module for teacher education Utrecht. During the presentation approximately 30 persons were present and an active discussion, during and after the presentation, took place which provided the members helpful insights for better implementing the E-portfolio.
The EGU – as one of the biggest European Conferences for Geosciences is bringing together scientists from several very different disciplines. Outreach, education and media are becoming more and more important, independent from scientific topics. At the EGU several sessions and workshops were organized about it, and WATCHME made first step´s to this community and took the opportunity to be generally presented, to network and exchange information and knowledge.
On the 17th of April the 2nd General Assembly Meeting took place, followed by the 2nd Review Meeting on April the 18th. The team evaluated second year's progress and made specific plans for the third and final year.
During the 20th Graz Conference on Medical Education Medical and Soft Skills: Teaching and Learning, Mira Mandoki, Chantal Duijn, Harold Bok & Wim Kremer won the prize for best poster presenatation. Congratulations for this wonderful achievement.
On February 5-6, Äli Leijen, Pihel Hunt, Gerli Silm and Liina Malva participated in a joint seminar of teacher education and the educational technology research groups of the University of Tartu. The WP6 team gave an overview of the WatchMe project and introduced the EPASS system. Moreover, the preliminary results from the formative evaluation of the just-in-time module were presented. The two research groups discussed the possible collaboration in the field of learning analytics.

The Real Difference Between French and American Beauty
by Alina Gonzalez
There's no denying that French and American women are different when it comes to beauty. And damn if we don't spend a lot of time trying to pinpoint exactly what that difference is about. What distinguishes our cultural approach to beauty from that of our friends overseas? How do French women always look so—here comes that buzz word—effortlessly cool? Pretty and polished yet simultaneously laid-back and undone. As elegant as a ballerina, with the badass attitude of an indie rocker. Well, the subject of much discussion has finally been explained by the impossibly chic founder of iconic French beauty brand Caudalie, Mathilde Thomas.
Thomas is the quintessential representation of French hip—utterly ageless, classy, and cool—and in her new book out this July, "The French Beauty Solution," she breaks down the real difference between French and American beauty. Keep scrolling to find out what it is!
Nico/Lancome
So what's the key to French beauty? Mathilde Thomas says it's the belief that "beauty is something to give you pleasure. Because when you feel good, you look good." It was when she moved from France to New York City in 2010 to grow her brand stateside, and traveled all over the country from Ohio to Florida meeting customers, that she realized the American concept of beauty had more to do with pain than pleasure. She spoke to hundreds of women at all of the beauty stores that carry Caudalie, from Sephora to Bluemercury, and said many of the women confessed to making their beauty choices based on "the erroneous notion of no pain/no gain," which Thomas calls a deeply American concept.
"They'd tell me about crash diets that left them light-headed and skincare products that irritate their skin—because they felt they had to suffer to be beautiful," she says, noting that the French notion of beauty is "quite the opposite. The notion of beauty should be, well, beautiful and pleasing to you above all."
After 20 years studying health, wellness, and beauty and several years spent assimilating into American beauty culture, Thomas concluded that this was the biggest difference between the American and French approaches to beauty solutions. And it's her French heritage and approach to beauty that inspired her to write her book for all the American women wanting what, yes, the French seem to do better. "The same issues came up time and again as the women I met with [in America] candidly discussed their beauty needs and desires.
All my customers wanted the same thing: To have wonderful skin, simply and quickly. To age with grace. To lead a healthy lifestyle. To be fit and trim. To know which diets work and which don't. To know how to do a cleanse if they need. To manage their stress. To have a flawlessly made-up face and a doable hairstyle. And to have the kind of effortless beauty and sense of savoir-faire that seem to be part of a French woman's DNA," she says. "The more I talked to consumers, the more easily I could clarify what precisely differentiated the French beauty philosophies and habits from the American ones." Pleasure versus pain being the biggest, but second in line was the difference between long-term upkeep and quick fixes.
"For the French, our beauty routine is predicated on prevention and upkeep and is regarded as an essential, ongoing investment. What I saw here, however, was much more of a tendency toward the quick solution…And while millions of American women consider beauty a priority in their daily routine, many of their habits are either too complicated, too expensive, too painful or simply not effective," she says in the book.
Thomas also clarifies what you might be thinking, which is that different doesn't necessarily mean one is better than the other. But she believes the differences she noticed between the two approaches to beauty caused the dissatisfaction among the American women she spoke to. As a French beauty mogul entering the American beauty landscape, she consistently and unsurprisingly heard the same questions over and over: "How do you do it? How can I be more like the French?" And with that, you have her answer: a more pleasurable, less complicated, less quick-fix approach to beauty.
She explains how to do this in more in-depth her book, which we received an advance copy of and could not put down. Like "Bringing Up Bébé" and Caroline de Maigret's "How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are" before it, it caters to our fascination with all things French but is the first "how-to" of its kind focused specifically on beauty. Spoiler alert: It's impossible to stop reading and will inspire you to take more walks and drink more red wine.

Controversy over preference of German army graduates
Posted October. 19, 2017 07:57,
Updated October. 19, 2017 08:32
Controversy over preference of German army graduates. October. 19, 2017 07:57. .
The Prussian army is referred to as the prototype of the modern army. As the French army under the command of Napoleon swept across Europe, Prussia felt a great sense of crisis. In an effort to reform a military system, it introduced a mandatory military service in which commoners participate in the conventional aristocratic army while establishing the logistics-oriented chiefs of staff, which resulted in the accomplishment of the German unification. Meanwhile, the Japanese army, which had benchmarked France after the Meiji Restoration, saw the great victory of Prussia in the Franco-Prussian War and quickly reorganized into a German-style army.
The foreign military academy, where Korean Military Academy students were first dispatched, was German military academy. The commissioned education program was a gift from Germany for former President Park Chung-hee's visit to West Germany in 1964. Thanks to military aid from West Germany, two military academy students (Korea Military Academy 24th graduating class) went study abroad in the following year. Since then as many as 50 cadets have been trained in Germany and produced two defense ministers, four-star Gen. Kim Tae-young and Kim Kwan-jin. They also played a role in spreading the best German military strategies and tactics to the Korean army including the concept of "mission command" that ensures the autonomy of the field commander and "internal command" that establishes the principle of free democracy and rule of law.
The contents of a report to the presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae by the Korean Defense Security Command on accusing then-Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin of preferentially hiring his German army juniors were released in August 2013 during the Park Geun-hye administration. The report says the German army graduates were promoted or appointed to key post even if they were not competent enough. It also takes an example that among seven German military graduates from 35th to 42nd graduating class of Korea Military Academy, except for professors and military officers, five were promoted by one or two ranks. It will certainly include four-star Gen. Park Chan-ju (37th graduating class) who was recently charged with bribery after a controversial scandal where he and his wife had been accused of treating conscripts like slaves.
The aftermath of the Command's direct report to Cheong Wa Dae was immediate in reshuffling of the military officials in October 2013, where the Defense Security Commander and the first, second and third positions of the Command were all replaced. Since the controversy over the preference of the German army graduates began, the existence of a private group or faction that controls the military personnel has become the topic of gossip. However, I doubt there is such a group. People may be too jealous of and slandering those talented officers who have seized opportunities to study abroad.
