Auditors to gain, give knowledge
Charles Rankin CONTRIBUTOR
All around campus, there are students who are here to learn, but not to receive any diploma or accolades. Washburn University offers free tuition for Kansas residents age 60 or older to audit credit courses.
As long as there is space available after the enrollment of paying students according to the community and continuing education page of the university's website, they can enroll
There are 231 of these auditing students enrolled through this program this semester according to the registrar's office.
One of these auditors is Bob King, of Topeka. King has been auditing classes here for about five years.
"It started with one [Bob] Beatty class," King said. "I've always been interested in politics, so I thought I would enjoy it."
King is auditing four classes in history and political science this semester, which he says seems like too much even though he and other auditors don't have any of the coursework due.
There is one department that is very popular with a lot of auditors, but you won't find King there.
"I wouldn't dare take an art class," King said.
A fellow auditor with King is John Bartel. He has been auditing off and on since 2013, mostly taking classes in the history department. He is taking three such classes this semester.
"I'm in European Reformation, Remembering Vietnam, and Alexander Hamilton," Bartel said.
It is a fairly strenuous process to enroll as an auditor. King and Bartel both spoke of how quickly it happens.
"There is one day, right at the beginning of the semester," King said. "All of us have to physically go to Morgan and register there. We can't do it online."
The auditing program can be helpful for fellow students and even professors.
"I teach a lot of classes on 20th century US history," said Rachel Goossen of the history department. "A lot of the auditors lived through what I teach."
Goossen is teaching a class this semester on the Vietnam War.
"I was a small child during that time," said Goossen. "I don't really have any memories of what was going on and having people who are able to tell of their experiences is tremendous."
Goossen has auditors in most of her classes. She usually has at least two but has had some classes where that number is much higher. There was one class that had as many as 16 auditors.
The auditors can also offer incredible insight into specific events in history being taught. Goosen had such an experience when she was covering the 1968 Democratic National Convention and the protests that occured.
"We had an auditor who was serving in the National Guard during the protests," Goossen said. "I changed the schedule and we spent the next class period listening to him tell his experience with that."
It is clear that the auditing program is beneficial to those who utilize it. Younger students can also gain a lot of knowledge from it.

A big thank you everyone who supported Churches of Christ Care's Fair Haven Aged Care Service fete on Saturday July 21.
A great day was had by all, made possible through the support of individuals, groups and services from our generous Hervey Bay community!
The day was jam packed with live entertainment and performances from six talented local performers: Melomania (two young cousins), The League Studios (dance studio), Kim McNaught, Craig Larsen (acoustic performance), Taylah Miller (16 years of age Fraser Coasts Got Talent winner), Just us (husband and wife duo).
Kids made great use of the jumping castle, bubble stations, organised games and plenty of fairy floss was consumed. The local Churches of Christ Care Family Day Care and Seniors Living Services were on hand to provide information and their staff were busy handing out information packs and talking to people.
Hervey Bay Lions who cooked the food. Thank you Tom Gould and team!
Money raised from the fete goes directly into Fair Haven's Lifestyle Program to continue to enable us to provide a meaningful, enriching and individualised program for the residents.
and families supported those who needed assistance so that everyone had an opportunity to participate.
"Families provided donations for stalls and spent the day in the outdoors with their loved ones. Off duty staff volunteered their time to wander through the fete with residents. Everyone enjoyed sitting and listening to the music and looking at the various market stalls, vintage cars, motorbikes and Dunga Derby Vehicle on display.
After the Fair Haven Fete, leftover balloons and colouring in items were delivered to the Paediatric Ward of the Hervey Bay Hospital. Fair Haven resident Kathleen Hankinson helped with the delivery.
"The joy our fete brings to our community and the meaning and impact it has on the lives of our residents is the reason we do this event every year. It's so rewarding to be part of this," Amanda said.

From Rome With Love
Uncategorized /
Jules Wake
I'm thrilled to announce that From Rome With Love, the final part of my 'From Love With' series, will be released on 20th January 2017. A big thank you to all those readers who have been in contact to ask me whether Will and Lisa's story will be told. I'm delighted to reveal that this is their story and is set, as you can guess from the title, against the gorgeous background of the Eternal City, Rome. One of the hardest parts of writing this book was deciding which of the thousands of amazing sights in the city to include. In the end I plumped for the most familiar, because I wanted readers who had been to Rome, to be able revisit some of their own memories. Including the Coliseum was a no-brainer, while being a huge tourist draw, on a personal level I find it fascinating that something so old has survived and that locked in its stone are a thousand human stories. Even more amazing is that this huge and ancient structure is situated in the heart of a modern city. Then there's the Trevi fountain with its romantic reputation that you'll return to the city if you toss in a coin. Nothing quite epitomises the hubbub of Rome in peak tourist season quite like the crowds that gather around the fountain, the incredible noise of the streams of water or the delicious coolness of the spray bouncing off its surface. Food and drink play a big part in the novel, with Will on the hunt for Roman specialities. In the name of research of course, I had to check out one of the many markets and sample a few meals and local wines.
Now this is one sight that you can see but few people can get through the gates as I was lucky enough to do. These are the gates to the Villa Wolkonsky, the official residence of the British Ambassador to Rome. While I didn't stay at the Villa, I did stay within the beautiful grounds in a house that is built into an ancient aqueduct that runs through the official compound. I used this as my inspiration for the apartment that Lisa stays in during her visit to Rome.
Rome is a fabulous city and I really hope I've done it justice in this next book.

If you own dogs, you know that traveling with your four-legged friend can sometimes be stressful. Whether it is just a few hours' drive or a four hour flight, there are several things that you can do to make a trip with your canine much more enjoyable for the both of you. Just follow a few comfort and safety doggy traveling tips to arrive at your destination more relaxed and happy.
Many people fear their travelling days would be over if they got a dog. While it may take a little more time to plan at first, having a dog doesn't have to tie you down.
Once you weigh your options and have a plan on how to travel with a dog efficiently and safely, you may only need to make slight changes for each trip with little compromise.
One important thing to remember is to start planning your dog-friendly trips early.
If you have a young puppy and you like to travel a lot, begin by taking him on short trips right away. Get your puppy used to a dog crate, car seats, strangers and other related aspects of traveling before you try going on a long vacation. Once you're ready, the following tips will help you prepare for a longer adventure with your canine companion.
I know this sounds a little basic, but I have been in situations before where I needed water for my dog and didn't have it right on me. Actually, I even had the water, but no dog bowl for it. Even for a short trip, always have food, water, and bowls with you (or you can use dog water bottles for some extra convenience).
You also need to keep enough dog food (or dog treats) with you for the duration of the trip and a collapsible dog bowl. That way if there is a traffic jam, vehicle break-down or other issue, you have what you need to make sure your fur-baby is hydrated and comfortable. Planning for dog supplies in advance will save the headache down the road.
Every day I see someone on the road with their pet on their lap. Pet owners do not realize that this is very dangerous (and even illegal) – not just for your dog, but for the people in the car. I actually know someone who got in an accident with their dog riding in the car.
There are many types of pet carriers from sturdy plastic ones to soft bed-like ones. If you will be travelling on an airline, make sure you know that particular airline's rules and what pet carriers they allow. If you can get a carrier small enough, they will let you put it under your seat in the cabin so your dog is always close by.
You can also get a dog carrier that has compartments for treats, medicines and a small bowl for your journey. If you have to check your dog into baggage, make sure that you chose an airline that has a great record transporting pets.
Harnesses and doggy seat belts.
Alternatively, you can also get a car seat harness for your dog that will strap him in and keep your pooch safe and secure. There are several types of dog seat belts, and some of the best are those that attach to the car seat tethers that are in newer model vehicles.
Our editor Samantha has done an extensive written and video review of several dog car seat belts and dog harnesses which I recommend you check out. Also, make sure you confirm that whatever you have will work great in case of a crash (read more here).
Finally, owners traveling by car should invest in a crash-safe dog travel crates that can be easily attached to car seats for safety reasons so they do not slide. This keeps your dog safe and anxiety-free, especially perfect for longer car trips.
Always make sure that your carrier is perfect for your dog size-wise so that he has enough room to stand and turn around, but not too much so that he'd be sliding in the dog crate. Watch the below video and read the guide to learn how to measure for a perfect crate.
Speaking of safety supplies for a trip, booster seats for dogs are one of the best options.
Dog owners going on longer trips in cars can get specially designed dog car booster seats which are perfect for small to medium dogs. They keep your dog strapped and seated but do not contain him like a dog crate would. Make sure to get one with a seat belt option.
The best dog booster seats are those that attach to the top of the car seat or to the center console of your vehicle. If you don't want a big bulky seat in your car, there are seat belt attachments that go from your dog's collar or harness directly to the seat belt.
If your dog is not secured in a travel crate, you need to have one of these. It prevents your pet from causing you distractions, and keeps him safe and secure in the event of an accident. I prefer a carrier for my small dog and seat belt harness for my larger dogs.
Dogs can get motion sickness just like people. For that reason, there are special pills. If your dog suffers from motion sickness, talk to your vet.
There are prescribed medications for this condition that would make riding a much more enjoyable experience for your dog.
You can also check your local big box pet store, or online retail site for non-prescription options. If you are flying or going by train, I would recommend talking to your vet and getting something you know will work. It is not easy to ride in a closed compartment that makes little to no stops while a dog is vomiting.
A sure thing is the best thing for your pet, you, and your fellow travelers. If your dog has never flown, it is best to give him something for motion sickness as a precaution.
If you are doing a road trip in your own vehicle, you can experiment with natural motion sickness remedies for your dog, but I found those rarely work well.
Before you go on an extended trip, bring your pooch to the vet and make sure he is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. Don't get a trip spoiled by a sick dog.
Make sure to let your vet know where you are going, especially if you are travelling outside of the country. Some vaccines are required while others are option but recommended. Also, educate yourself on the over-vaccination of dogs and what vaccines to avoid. Some vets like to prescribe more than is needed "just in case," and that may not be good either.
Different areas have different diseases, and your dog may need special vaccination requirements. If you will be traveling by air, or other public transportation, a health certification by a licensed vet will be required. Some states require that any animal entering their state, by any means, must have a certification (read more on this here).
It is best to plan ahead and see what hotels and restaurants are pet friendly (and there are many in the US). Most people have the hotels already planned and reservations made. While there are some that don't allow dogs at all, most can make arrangements.
Those arrangements may be a $200 deposit or a $200 non-returnable pet fee. You need to make sure the hotel is clear that you will have a dog and that you are clear what the rules are. There is almost nothing more annoying than having to find a new hotel after all day on the road.
Unless you don't mind going through the drive thru all the time, it is best to plan places to eat as well. Remember that it's illegal to leave your pet in the car no matter what the weather is like. Also, many places have passed laws against pets being left in the car for any reason. So, unless you want to pay heavy fines, I would not recommend it.
It isn't only for heat stroke, but for other safety reasons too. What if your dog got tangled in the seat belt and choked to death? What if someone broke into your car and stole your furry friend? There are many reasons why leaving your dog alone is not a good idea.
It is always best to plan your dog vacay trip and locate rest stops and eating places that are pet friendly. With the growing number of extreme dog lovers, they are popping up in all kinds of places and most restaurants, hotels and resorts will always accept dog owners.

Frank McKee - F Co.
We departed from Camp Shanks, New York on December 27th 1943, and spent 11 days at sea on the troop carrier ship U.S.A.T. James Parker. We landed in Belfast, Ireland on January 9th, 1944.
Our camp was at Port Stewart on the northern coast of Ireland and [we] spent a chilly winter receiving ground and weapons training.
We eventually became accustomed to warm Guinness stout, blackouts and Irish girls.
In our exercises along the coast we were surprised to see that the refreshment stands, diving pavilions, amusement piers and other innocent looking buildings along the beaches were really gun emplacements and fortified troop positions.
I remember two incidents in Ireland, the first was that Southern Ireland was neutral and was actually host to a German Consulate.
One night I picked up a girl in Port Stewart and in the course of our conversation she stated that the German consulate office in Southern Ireland financed trips for women to go to Northern Ireland, mix with the troops, get information by identifying regiments, divisions and strength, then report back to the German consulate. She was one of such informers. I guess I should have handed her in.
The second incident was that I had a relative living in an area which was somewhere below Belfast and bordering on the Southern Ireland border.
I travelled down there alone to visit a relative who owned a pub. I found the place, walked in and informed the chap drawing beer that if he was the owner, I was his relative from the U.S.A.
He never acknowledge me, and kept drawing beer and went about his business. All the patrons were civilians; I of course was in my army uniform.
Finally a little Irish man came up to me and told me that it would be smart to get out of here and informed me on how to get a bus.I said something to my relative like, who the hell needs you, and left.
It occurred to me sometime later that either I had wondered into Southern Ireland, or they were Southern Ireland sympathisers.
There were no Yanks in that town, and I don't remember the name of that place.
In March of 1944, we shipped out to Scotland.
An interesting incident happened to me there.
I received an over night pass to Glasgow. I met a girl there and thought that she was quiet attractive Scottish lass.
Later in the evening she informed me that she lived in Scotland for several years, but she was actually Italian. That was o.k. with me but it seemed funny that I was to go to Scotland to meet an Italian girl.
The regiment soon found itself in our real home in Europe - Wollaton Park, Nottingham, England.
We loved it there, the people, the quaint pubs and inn's, the girls, all of these things were super.
We continued our airborne training and prepared for the invasion of Europe.
I remember one night jump in particular. We were flying in a large formation at night with only two paratroopers to a plane. I was to be the second man out of the plane.
The idea was to jump two men, the second man delaying his jump by 14 seconds after the first man. Once on the ground you were to plot your position. In this way the dispersion of the regiment could be obtained without jumping all of the men.
We were instructed that once on the ground, stay there for the night, then head for the nearest road and wait there for a jeep to pick you up.
I landed in a field near a haystack not to far from a farm house. I could see lights in the house and decided to roll up my parachute and sleep in the hay stack.
I awoke early morning to find an English Home Guard man poking at me. He carried a rifle, and questioned me quiet intensively before he was convinced that I was an American. He later informed me that Germans had actually landed in England in the past.
I jumped in Normandy on D-DAY and fought for about a month and was wounded on 4th July, 1944, taking Hill 95 near Le Hay De Puits.
I recovered and rejoined my regiment after the Holland drop, just in time for the Battle of the Bulge.
I survived that one and when war ended I served as Honor Guard in Frankfurt, Germany.

HISTORIC ENGLAND: CITY OF LONDON:
UNIQUE IMAGES FROM THE ARCHIVES OF HISTORIC ENGLAND
Stroud, Gloucestershire: Amberley Publishing, 2018
www.amberleybooks.com
96pp; illus;
The photographs in this illustrated history of the City of London are taken from the archives of Historic England (or, to give it its full title, the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England), which is the body given responsibility by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport with preserving and listing historic buildings and ancient monuments.
The Archive, much of which is searchable online – visit historicengland.org.uk - although it's far from being one of the best websites you'll find, is a collection of over 12 million photographs, drawings, plans and documents. It covers almost everything you can think of, including archaeology, architecture, social and local history, and much else. Pictures date from the birth of photography right up to the present.
City of London is a collection of photographs, both ancient and modern, of London's business heart, affectionately referred to as the Square Mile. Some of the photographs are old and of particular nostalgic interest. Two that stick in my mind are of the "Old Dick" (a pub called The Dick Whittington) in Cloth Fair, an obviously ancient building that became a pub in 1848, and the other of St Andrew Undershaft, a church in St Mary Axe, and a row of nearby shops, outside one of which a horse-drawn cab appears to be waiting.


A stop it before it's streamed approach should be taken to prevent the live-streaming of violent crimes - and child sexual abuse - according to harm-prevention charity The Carly Ryan Foundation.
The CRF's call comes after the Morrison Government announced it will legislate to penalise social media companies who fail to act to remove abhorrent violent material from their platforms.
CRF CEO Sonya Ryan said: "once the offending video is online it spreads like wildfire and while social media companies can work to remove the content, it's far too late".
"We need to stop violent crimes and child sexual abuse from being live-streamed in the first place," she said.
"Once it is uploaded it can end up on platforms the originating social media platform does not control, and on the dark net."
Ms Ryan said while social media companies should be held to account, the CRF believes there needs to be a conversation about whether any one at all should be able to live-stream or whether only verified accounts should have this function.
"The government says the new laws will be modelled on existing offences in the Criminal Code which require platforms to notify police if their service is being used to access child exploitation material. Yet in reality these existing laws aren't even being used and ISPs are failing to report to police when their service is used to access child abuse material," she said.
"Thousands and thousands of children across the world - and in bedrooms throughout Australia - are being exploited through live-distant child abuse using social media platforms and it's up to police to uncover it.
"If Australia is truly going to crack down on the insidious uses of live-streaming then there must be a great emphasis on preventing the harm in the first place and stopping the streaming before it even starts.
"If the live-streaming function is limited to those who have been verified by a social media company that may do more to ensure harmful content isn't uploaded rather than financial penalties after the fact."

Mayor Tom Henry and the Public Works Division unveiled the list of 2017 transportation infrastructure projects that will enhance mobility, improve safety and strengthen neighborhoods.
Nearly 500 individual projects in more than 130 neighborhoods will be visible throughout the spring, summer and fall and in all parts of the City.
Over the last four years, Mayor Henry has committed $100 million to improving the City's 1,200 miles of streets, 1,600 miles of sidewalks and growing our trail network to more than 70 City miles. The 2017 investment is nearly $25 million.
The infrastructure investments being made in neighborhoods this year are not part of the proposal to adjust the local income tax to enhance neighborhood sidewalks and alleys and riverfront development. If the income tax is adjusted, projects that would be made possible through that change would begin in 2018.
"Our projects not only address the condition of the roadway, but look at the overall transportation network and improvements in connectivity and safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists," said Shan Gunawardena, City Engineer. "From improving visibility, lighting, crossings and adding green elements such as new trees and landscaping, these are improvements that benefit all residents and businesses."
Active Transportation, by foot or on bike, remains an important part of the City's transportation network. In the past 10 years, we've increased connectivity by adding nearly 40 miles of City trails, 38 miles of new sidewalk and 8 miles of bike lanes.
This year the Fort Wayne Regional trail network will grow to 100 miles with 80 of those miles in the City. This year nearly 11 miles of City trails will begin construction including Bluffton Road, multiple portions of the Pufferbelly Trail and the Hanna Street Trail.
Also this year, new sidewalks will offer connectivity on Jefferson Boulevard, Lake Avenue and portions of Washington Center Road and new bike lanes will be constructed on Hobson Road and Fairfield Avenue. We will also add new crosswalks and crossing lights in a few school zones that needed an upgrade.

Intuition & Hypnosis
Date Wednesday - March 10 2010 Host George Noory
Guests Dr. Judith Orloff, Rick Collingwood
In the first half of the show, Dr. Judith Orloff talked about her work as a "psychic psychiatrist," and the various types of intuition a person can tap into. As detailed in her book Second Sight, she shared how she's integrated her medical practice with her intuitive skills, which she's had since a child. A person can develop their intuitive side by quieting the mind, such as through meditation. By focusing more on gut feelings and inner listening, rather than the "linear mind," the more you can access the intuitive zone, where things like synchronicities can happen, she said.
Synchonicities are encounters with a kind of "perfect timing" and the more you are in touch with your intuition, the more these events will happen, she explained. Deja vu feelings, such as when a place or person seems familiar, are another form of intuitive thinking, and can be utilized to make judgments, she added.
Another technique she discussed is learning to ask for inner guidance. "That requires getting quiet...and then asking a question...and then waiting for any images, impressions, sights, smells, sounds, any impressions that come through. I stress that it's a receptive thing...you don't go after it, you wait for intuitions."
In the latter half of the show, hypnotist Rick Collingwood spoke about using hypnotism to enhance the quality of life for those affected by chronic disease such as cancer. Using "rapid induction" techniques, he practices a therapeutic form of hypnosis in which people are taken into the deep theta brain state, where their subconscious is more open to suggestions.
In his work with cancer patients he's been able to help them with reduction in pain, and to experience fewer medication side effects, better appetites and sleep, and increased feelings of well being. Most of the cancer patients he works with are Stage 4, so it's about helping them to pass peacefully, he noted. Collingwood also shared that the effectiveness of a session depends on the intent of the hypnotist-- the results are better when he focuses on his heart's desire for the patient to heal. To see Collingwood in action, check out a selection of clips featured on his YouTube Channel.

How Soon is Now?
Long Cool Woman
Theme from New York, New York


Even with the fanfare and glut of tourists that flock to Unesco World Heritage sites, Hoi An has done a decently good job at keeping the small town feel.
Vietnamese is my favorite of the Asian foods; I had been searching high and low and finally found delicious bun thit nuong (BBQ pork cold noodles) along the river. The first night, it was difficult to eat only one bowl – this is what I had come to Vietnam to eat! Houston has a sizable Vietnamese population, so I grew up eating banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches). But Hoi An made me forget all of that when I had the best banh mi of my life. Madam Khanh the Banh Mi Queen lives up to her name. The queen understands that sandwiches are all about the sauce! She is deliberate as she picks through the pork with her chopsticks, until she finds the one that is just right, before dipping it into her amazing sauce. And the toasted bread! On our last day in Hoi An, Matt went for it and ate three sandwiches. Two months later, we still dream of that sandwich.
The old city is situated on along the Thu Bon River. Known for their tailors, I seriously contemplated getting my bridesmaid dress made here (seriously an identical look-alike for $30!). At night, ladies sell paper lanterns with a lit candle that are sent down the river for good luck. A beautiful thought, but I can't help thinking of the environmental implications. In the past, the boats were made of banana leaves, leaving minimal impact, whereas now, a wall of colored paper can be seen at the dam downriver.
Phuc reached out to us through CouchSurfing and graciously agreed to meet for lunch. We rented a motorbike for a 45-minute drive over to Da Nang. On the way, stopped at An Bang and played volleyball (this is for you, Johnny and 14th St!).
Phuc's family have a clothing shop storefront and live in the adjoining space behind. We were humbled to be the first foreigners in his house. We thought that we were just having lunch together, but Phuc and his family were so generous with their time and spent the entire day with us!
He lives with his parents and younger sister. His father gave us a warm reception and is a very kind man. His sister, Hien brought out a pots of tea and a plate of rice paper, fresh herbs, and pork. We sat around their living room chatting and making fresh spring rolls. Vietnamese New Year had been the week before, so we snacked on candied ginger, sunflower and watermelon seeds. I really wish that I could understand and speak Vietnamese to communicate better with their father, but Hien was kind to act as translator. Hien's friends from school came over. Thuy had been first-runner-up Miss Danang, we were among local royalty! No translator was needed when the beer came out – round after round of clinking of glasses and yo (cheers). If we hadn't had to drive the motorcycle back to our guesthouse, the day could have turned out quite differently.
Phuc, Hien and Thuy generously took us on a driving tour around Da Nang. What a thrill, zipping in and around traffic in a motorcycle. Second nature to our hosts, I was glad that Matt was the one driving. First, we visited the main market where his mother sells clothes. We ate a traditional soup before heading across Danang's suspension bridge to Linh Ung Buddhist Temple. The walk around offered a panoramic view of the city and bay. The temple was very crowded with locals paying their respects for the New Year. We finished at a local coffee shop (Vietnam has a very strong coffee culture). We only wish that we could have stayed longer (bike rental ended at 7PM) so that we could have gone out and karaoke-d with them!
Phuc, Hien, Thuy and their families were so generous with their time and showed us a fantastic day in Danang. I only hope that our paths cross again in the future! Thank you again!

National River & Recreation Area Minnesota
U.S. Geological Service
A very active, schooling species, silver carp are well known for their habit of leaping out of the water when disturbed by sudden sounds, such as motorboat motors. They can leap as high as ten feet out of the water, and have been known to injure boaters and damage equipment while jumping.
Like bighead carp, silver carp eat by filtering plankton from the water, and fish were imported to control algae growth in ponds. Their feeding efficiency and rapid reproduction puts native fish species that depend on plankton at risk.
Watch the spread of this invasive species on this interactive map produced by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Currently, large populations of this species are already established in waters connected to the Great Lakes Basin including the Illinois River and the Chicago Area Waterway System.
Silver carp can live in slightly brackish (salty) water.
Like bighead carp, silver carp lack a true stomach which requires them to feed almost continuously.
Key ID Features: Silver carp share a characteristic low eye placement and large mouth with bighead carp. However, silver carp's head is smaller and it lacks the irregular splotches of the bighead. It is also typically smaller at 59 pounds and 39 inches in length.
Present in Park: Individual specimens found, but not evidence of an established population.
Habitat: Large warm rivers and connected lakes.
MN Status: This fish is on the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources prohibited invasive species list, which means import, possession, transport, and introduction into the wild is prohibited. Silver carp are also federally listed as injurious species, which means bringing these fish into the United States or transporting them across state lines is illegal.

Raise your hand if you're ready for spring!
Now raise both hands if you're ready for spring accessories!
You and I both know we don't have to look far when it comes to pretty eye candy on Etsy, and with the delicate, sweet, light colors of spring, Etsy is a treasure trove of delightful, pastel earrings.
So off with your overcoat and on with the pretty jewelry—three cheers for spring!
Thanks to the Etsy sellers featured above and below for giving us all something sweet and springy to cheer about!
This. I have to have this. I wish I knew what kind of berries the artist (Cynthia Del Giudice) used, because I want to learn everything about this piece (and the matching earrings). This is just my kind of pretty—so basic and natural, and earthy.
Brilliant! Paper artist Erin Groff packs a wide variety of ornamental, edible, and medicinal wildflowers into these 3.75 x 6.75-inch sheets of handmade art for your art!
You know you've got a good thing going on when you're asked to write a blog post about your favorite Lark books, and it takes you all of 10 seconds to come up with the list.
This book introduced me to Lark. I wanted to design my own wedding ring and needed inspiration—1000 Rings offered more than I could have imagined. It sparked my creativity for a design and began my path to a job in the publishing world. I discovered that Lark was in Asheville, North Carolina, by reading the copyright page (dorky, I know). In fine print, it says that if the reader has any questions to contact Lark, and the address follows. In fact, yes, I do have a question: Will you please hire me?! I stalked several editors until they let me in the door, finally landed a scary group interview, and soon moved south with my fiancé in tow. It's five years later and those editors are my beloved colleagues and friends—all because of a ring (or 1000 of them, I guess).
I love this book because it gave my co-workers and me a reason to get together and sew during lunch breaks one winter. We all decided on an apron to make, lugged our sewing machines to the office, and set up shop on the top floor of our building. During those lunches, we yapped about life, discussed office politics, and somehow ended up with several adorable creations. It was the perfect (and totally unexpected) example of that happy little place where team building meets therapy!
We're so proud of these beautiful aprons!
Wait, let me try that again: Happy Be-Kind-To-Each-Other-All-The-Time, everybody.
Yesterday was my first in a four-day exploration of the beauty of eye-catching, intriguing rings and their unique role as a symbol of love worldwide. During this Season of Love, our thoughts turn to how we give and receive love, and we have a heightened opportunity to focus on the people we love best in our lives. Pretty great, right?
Today I explore the wide, stunning world of resin rings—bright pops of color, platforms for precious flowers, and vessels of gold—these beauties are meant to steal your affection and never give it back.
A very big thank you to the talented, innovative Etsy artists featured below—what creative vision you all have!
Greater poets and thinkers before me have said this more eloquently, I'm sure, but it's my belief that love is the common thread that brings us together.
You work because maybe you love your career field, or maybe you're supporting your family, or maybe you really really love trips to the Outer Banks and your job gets you there.
You create because you love the process, or you thrive on the challenge, or you simply can't not bring artfulness and innovation into the world.
You connect with other people because it's human nature, or you love the sense of being rooted in community, or maybe you feel it's the main reason why any of us are here in the first place.
Whatever you do, wherever you go, however you prioritize the unique elements of your very own Big Picture in Life, chances are they're tied to the concept of love, and we're all connected by that commonality—love really is what brings us together.
It's pretty great that we have a holiday that celebrates this concept, and I like to think that Valentine's Day causes each of us to reflect on love at least a little bit, especially if it extends beyond romantic love into the realms of good friends, treasured family, favorite vet techs and librarians and next-door-neighbors and teachers and colleagues and mentors and musicians and purring cats and wiggly dogs and, well, everyone.
With all of this in mind—all this Love stuff—I've been thinking about how we symbolize it and communicate it. Hearts, cards, flowers, and chocolate are a big deal during this time of year, and so are rings. So I decided to do some (super delightful) meandering through Etsy where I collected images of eye-catching rings, rings that might not be your typical sparkly proposal diamond, but instead were beautiful in unexpected ways.
Today is the first of four days of my ring finds, and I thank the incredibly talented artists mentioned below for creating such thoughtful, intriguing, stunning, sweet, novel, and phenomenal work.
High five, Etsy, and Happy Season of Love, everyone.
…by the way, if you decide that you need to listen to a certain amazing pop star while reading this post, no one's gonna stop you.
What? Summer jewelry? Jewelry has a season? Wait a minute…can jewelry be seasonal?

Q: C++ Function Coding I just started learning functions.  I'm trying to write this code with using a function to have a user input the names.  I can't figure out what the argument should be.  I thought I could put in getName(i.name) passing an array into it, but I'm doing it wrong.  What should the correct parameter be?
void getName(Horse &);  //function prototype
struct Horse
{
    string name;
}
array<Horse, horseCount> Horses;
for (Horse &i : Horses)
{
    getName(i.name);
}
void getName(Horse &Nag)
{
    cout << "Enter a horse's name: ";
    getline(cin, Nag.name);
}

A: You are passing a std::string to getName() when it actually expects Horse&.
You must call it as getname(i) to actually pass the Horse object.

A: The correct parameter would be an object of type Horse. You can change your code to this. The below code seems to be just a snippet, I'm assuming it's part of a function body that you've defined.
i.name in this case is of type std::string, but your prototype of getName takes a Horse object, not a string.
for (Horse &i : Horses)
{
    getName(i);
}

void getName(Horse &Nag)
{
    cout << "Enter a horse's name: ";
    getline(cin, Nag.name);
}

Mexicans sick with the virus have overrun hospitals in their own cities since at least May 2020 to the point that Mexican facilities became unable to care for new patients. Left with no care on the Mexico side, significant numbers of Covid-sick patients with green cards, dual citizenship, or border-crossing passes have exploited legal loop holes in President Trump's March 2020 emergency closure so they can reach US hospitals.
By Todd Bensman as provided November 24, 2020 to Homeland Security Today
AUSTIN, Texas — In late October, the El Paso television station KFOX-14 aired video of fire department ambulances lining up at the international bridge picking up Covid-19 patients who had just crossed from Mexico and driving them to hospitals, the ones now filled to crisis proportions.
Along with the video footage, the local TV station quoted one of the fire department's paramedics describing an assembly-line operation where the whole ambulance fleet at times was pressed into transporting Mexicans from the international ports of entry to El Paso hospitals. Projecting one of the nation's reddest coronavirus hotspots, El Paso and its filled-beyond-capacity hospitals are now at the epicenter of national news coverage that rarely reflects testimony like this:
"There's somedays where it's only three or four times and other days when it will be 13 or 14 responses. You'll be there for one patient and [CBP] customs will let you know, hey there's another one right behind them and another one sometime there are four or five waiting in line," the fire department employee explained. "Multiple times in this pandemic we will be in a complete system overload where there are no ambulances available" because they were picking up patients at El Paso's international bridges.
Pieced together over a six-month period, such isolated accounts from hospital administrators, local officials, and federal officials in the border states reveal a significant northward coronavirus patient migration that has gone neither broadly recognized nor considered for containment policy responses to address it. In a nutshell, here is what is happening in U.S. states that border Mexico:
Mexicans sick with the virus have overrun hospitals in their own cities south of the border since at least May 2020 to the point that Mexican facilities became unable to care for new patients. Left with no care on the Mexico side, unknown but significant numbers of Covid-sick patients with green cards, dual citizenship, or border-crossing passes have exploited legal loop holes in President Trump's March 2020 emergency closure so they can reach US hospitals. Other ill crossers are American expatriates, while some were Mexican patients illegally cross outside of the ports of entry.
At issue — in the general national failure to recognize this contribution to the U.S. hospital crisis — is whether American policy-makers might finally consider it when implementing lockdowns, social-distancing requirements, and other local U.S. policies intended to preserve hospital systems in hard-hit border states like Texas. In ordering measures that would only control for local spread that occurred inside the United States — policies that do not, of course, influence spreading behaviors in Mexico — U.S. leaderships risk repeating a consequential public health mistake that occurred during the summer and is underway again.
As early as May, when virus cases began the last major surge in border states, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal all reported that many thousands of infected people from Mexico were fleeing their own collapsing hospitals to facilities in Arizona and California, adding to American counts of hospitalization and deaths.
The publications reported that most appeared to be "essential workers" with visas or border-crossing cards, American expatriates, dual citizenship holders, and Mexican legal permanent residents allowed to cross under the Trump border closure exemptions. Border Patrol sources said many other infected patients had entered illegally and that agents often transported them to U.S. hospitals. From the border, they were moved into the American interior.
The June 7 New York Times story "Coronavirus Jumps the Border, Overwhelming Hospitals in California," reported so many sick patients had crossed that California was forced to activate the "extraordinary response" of transporting them to San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Sacramento, in a helicopter airlift by ambulance fleets. The same story cited state health officials attributing a massive influx into Arizona border communities to "people coming in from Sonora state."
The patient transports from border hospitals to interior ones may well have created the false appearance of greater local spread in interior cities. In an interview with California Pastor Tim Thompson, who produces a YouTube video program titled "This is Our Watch," registered nurse Megan Hill, who is working with Covid patients in Riverside County, Calif., said her patients were arriving by helicopter from border facilities.
"According to my patients, they are coming over from Mexico because they're not getting treated in Mexico. They are flying helicopters every hour — bam, bam, bam — constantly flying them. It's definitely happening."
A May 11 Wall Street Journal story citing all of the same circumstances noted that the crisis of Covid patients swamping hospitals south of San Diego posed "a new threat" distinct from spread that might arise from the easing of social-distancing restrictions. The Washington Post's May 27 story reported that the traffic "posed an unprecedented challenge" to California as patients fled packed Tijuana hospitals. It estimated that about half the coronavirus patients in several California border hospitals had come in from Mexico, many of them shipped to Los Angeles hospitals to keep beds available for more Mexicans on the border.
A June 29 CNN report seemed to be the first to report Mexican-to-American ambulance hand-off operations like the one more recently described in El Paso. The CNN story quoted Carmela Coyle, CEO of the California Hospital Association, calling what was underway as "an unprecedented surge across the border." It also quoted California's emergency medical services authority head Dr. David Duncan describing "the steady stream" coming into Imperial County as "gas on the fire" that will "continue to escalate and fuel the Covid pressures that we see."
At about the same time, Covid patients overwhelmed almost every hospital along the Texas border after hospitals collapsed in Matamoros across from Brownsville, in Reynosa across from McAllen, in Nuevo Laredo across from Laredo, and in Juarez across from El Paso. Texas A&M University's Transportation Institute saw the problem as so pronounced that it proposed a plan for Mexican ambulances to cut to the front of long lines at ports of entry so that Covid patients could reach American hospitals faster.
In Texas's Rio Grande Valley on the Mexico border, Dr. Ivonne Lopez, Medical Director of the McAllen Hospital Group at the McAllen Medical Center told local media that "many" patients from Mexico were adding to the bed-shortage crisis.
"They are coming in because their resources over there are also limited so they are coming in to our area seeking medical attention and, by law, we have to provide it," Dr. Lopez said. "The patients that cross the border say, 'we don't have hospital space over there. The oxygen is gone. We don't have medications, so we cross the border.'"
As in California and Arizona, patients on the Texas border were airlifted to empty beds as far north as Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle and by ground transport to Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and small rural hospitals throughout the state, where all were presumed to reflect regular local community spread.
Flashing forward to the new outbreak making national headlines, almost every hallmark of Covid-19 medical migration from Mexico is once again evident in El Paso and elsewhere along the border. El Paso Deputy Fire Chief Jorge Rodriguez told the city council in early November of Mexican Covid patients crossing over that "Once they are on U.S. soil, we have a legal responsibility to provide services to anyone who is inside the city limits, and we continue to do that."
And also like in the summer, El Paso hospitals once again had become so full by mid-November that another airlift was ordered to transport patients to hospitals in the Texas interior.
A Federal Solution, not for Cities or States
An enabling factor for all of this is the president's March 2020 border closure. It only prohibits inbound crossings by those traveling "for tourism purposes, such as sightseeing, recreation, gambling or attending cultural events." Everyone else, including "individuals traveling for medical purposes (e.g., to receive medical treatment in the United States), is pretty much free to cross at will with a variety of visa types.
Gustavo Sanchez, president of the El Paso regional union representing U.S. Customs officers was quoted November 2 saying thousands of people with regular border crosser cards (issued by U.S. consulates and valid for ten years) come and go as they please with or without Covid, making the essential-travel order difficult for the agency to enforce.
"We got thousands of people crossing. The hospitals in Juarez are full to capacity. Any little thing that's even non-life threatening, they're bringing them over here because they're saturated. Their hospitals are saturated," Sanchez said.
Why Knowing Matters
State and local leaders need to work with federal officials on future containment remedies mainly because the border closure is a federal matter, while local spread belongs to state and county elected officials.
Knowing of the unseen second river of patients from Mexico — and why it is able to reach U.S. hospitals despite a "border closure" — are foundational for leaderships to know so that they can knowledgeably collaborate on a cocktail of policies that more precisely address the problem. Only then might decision-makers consider options such as capacity-building medical assistance to Mexico and a tightening of the border closure loopholes.
In the absence of any acknowledgement that Mexico is a source of U.S. hospitalization strains and also its scope, U.S. leaderships risk repeating the same mistake with the same problem in an endless loop.

Ioannis Paschalidis New Director of Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering
Computing and data sciences expert outlines priorities as institute prepares for move to new headquarters
By Rich Barlow for BU Today
The Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering will have a new director as of July 1. Ioannis Paschalidis (ECE, BME, SE), a College of Engineering Distinguished Professor of Engineering and of computing and data sciences, will oversee the institute's move into a new, eye-arresting building (the largest on the Charles River Campus), the Center for Computing & Data Sciences.
Paschalidis replaces Eric Kolaczyk, who is leaving BU after almost a quarter of a century to move with his family to Canada.
The appointment adds to Paschalidis' already impressive portfolio. He directs BU's Center for Information and Systems Engineering (CISE), which researches and designs intelligent data systems. He cowrote the proposal that won BU a matching state grant for the University's new RASTIC robotics lab, which will enable more undergraduate and master's students to research and test next-gen robots and artificial intelligence.
The Center for Computing & Data Sciences, whose construction is on track to finish later this year, represents BU's planting the flag in a field that is remaking academic disciplines, and society. Among Hariri's neighbors in the building will be the new Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences and the College of Arts & Sciences departments of computer science and of mathematics and statistics.
"Putting all of these groups under the same roof, I think, will further facilitate interactions," Paschalidis says.
Beyond the move, he says he has three priorities as the institute's new leader, the first involving forging closer ties to the School of Medicine. "I feel—and I think the University agrees—that we have not leveraged as much as possible the fact that we have a medical school," he says. "And I think there's much more that can be done" to arrange collaborations between engineers and computer scientists and doctors—those who do research as well as healers on the hospital ward. "There is a lot of activity these days around AI and health, AI and medicine, automation, new sensing technologies that would improve the way we can sense on a daily basis what happens, identify diseases, find new biomarkers.
"I want to increase the interaction between the people that are doing the science, the technology, and the algorithms, and the people that are in medicine and health."
A second initiative will be to maintain "the service aspect of Hariri" to BU professors, including the institute's fellows program, which provides research support to junior faculty and to students. That support also brings different disciplines together in "community-building activity," he says.
The third will be to continue "focused research," that is, "internal funding mechanisms for encouraging groups at the University to coalesce around a specific field" in yearlong research teams. "The main objective is to form teams that will then have enough cohesion and enough preliminary work so that they can go out, they can write a proposal [for competitive grant funding], and be successful."
Paschalidis takes the helm at a critical point, says Gloria Waters, vice president and associate provost for research, "as we launch new efforts in the fields of computing and data sciences.
"His deep roots in engineering, his role as a founding member of the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences, as well as his extensive collaborations across the Charles River and Medical campuses position him well to build on the tremendous success the Institute has had in fostering collaborative research that connects the faculty across the University.
"I am certain that his focus on research excellence and his highly collaborative style will further lead to establishing the Hariri Institute as an internationally recognized center of excellence," Waters adds.
