Since our last update in the Encourager, the Pastor Search Committee has been meeting with the staff ministers individually to gain input about qualities to look for in a senior pastor. We have also developed a fasting guide and the Eastmont Senior Pastor job description. Both of these documents are accessible here at Eastmont website.
The Committee has chosen to fast periodically, we plan to food fast this Wednesday in preparation for our weekly meeting. Please feel free to join us in this effort, if you are medically able to do so. Or, if you are fasting from something other than food, please use that free time to pray for us and continue to study I & II Timothy and Titus. We are grateful to Cleve Mallory, and Art Long who published videos to support our studies of I & II Timothy. We look forward to Gene Kim's videos on the book of Titus in March.
The Senior Pastor job description was posted last Friday (3/1) on our website, and we are receiving resumes. Also, we are reaching out to other state Conventions and Baptist seminaries to post the job description.
The committee, which meets at least weekly, is composed of Cindy Pitts, Courtney Corum, Brian Clements, Travis Jordan, David Seay, Jerry Short, and chairman, Brian Key. Please continue to pray for us.
On January 17th, Eastmont's Pastor Search committee met with Bro. Mike Jackson from the Alabama State Board of Missions (ALSBOM) for over two hours. He is the resource there who works with Alabama Baptist churches in pastoral transitions. He shared a wealth of information that he has gained over many years of assisting churches in searching for a pastor.
While the qualifications for a pastor are clearly described in scripture, especially in the New Testament books we are reading, studying, and praying over together, specific tasks and responsibilities can vary from congregation to congregation. The committee is currently developing a job description for the new pastor that is Eastmont specific. This will be used when the time comes to begin gathering resumes.
We are grateful to Eastmont ministers, Cleve Mallory, Art Long, and Gene Kim for agreeing to record a brief video each week of January, February, and March, summarizing the books of I & II Timothy and Titus. These videos will help us as a congregation to better understand the Apostle Paul's teachings about the responsibilities of pastors. Currently, these videos are available on FaceBook, and the most recent one along with links to past ones is found on the pastor search page of Eastmont.org.
The committee has published a prayer guide that was included in the order of worship several weeks ago. That guide is still available from the church office. We will publish a fasting guide soon. You can also download this guide on the pastor search page.
We will report our progress and prayer needs on a regular basis through the Encourager, the new Eastmont website, and other methods.
The Eastmont Pastor Search Committee that was approved by the church at the regularly scheduled business meeting on Wednesday, November 28th, has already had a couple of meetings. That committee is composed of Cindy Pitts, Courtney Corum, Brian Clements, Travis Jordan, David Seay, Jerry Short, and chairman, Brian Key. We have established regular weekly meeting time, and a 'backup' meeting time when scheduling conflicts arise.
We take Eastmont's confidence in us very seriously and have committed to regular prayer, Bible study, and fasting. We invite all who are willing to join us in praying for us to recognize God's will in this very serious matter. We also invite everyone to join us in reading and studying the New Testament books of I and II Timothy, and Titus, which focus on the Apostle Paul's instruction to young pastors. We will be sharing a guide to studying these books in the near future. Finally, we encourage all who are medically able, to join us in periodic fasting. We will soon share guidelines about that, as well.
We also will be soliciting input from Eastmont members soon, in an organized manner, in order to better understand, as much as possible, who Eastmont is, and who we need to become. We will report our progress and prayer needs on a regular basis through the Encourager and other methods.

State of Good Repair
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, Senate Bill (SB) 1 (Chapter 5, Statues of 2017), signed by the Governor on April 28, 2017, includes a program that will provide additional revenues for transit infrastructure repair and service improvements. This investment in public transit will be referred to as the State of Good Repair (SGR) Program. This program receives funding of approximately $105 million annually. SGR funds are to be made available for eligible transit maintenance, rehabilitation and capital projects.
SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California's transportation programs. Therefore, in order to be eligible for SGR funding, potential agencies must comply with various reporting requirements. The SGR Guidelines will describe the general policies and procedures in carrying out the reporting requirements and other statutory objectives of the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
Written comments and questions can be submitted to the program email account: SB1SGRcomments@dot.ca.gov.
Assembly Bill (AB) 107, Chaptered September 29, 2020, provides transit agencies eligible to receive SGR funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20, FY 2020-21, and FY 2021-22, to redirect these funds from projects as originally identified to address funding shortfalls in operating or capital expenses resulting from the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
This redirection of SGR funds requires the transit agency to obtain an approved declaration, board resolution and/or other appropriate document(s), from their respective governing board identifying the fiscal challenges which may cause reduction of service and thereby directing agency staff to pursue the flexibility of redirecting SGR funds as provided in AB 107.
The transit agency shall then provide an electronic copy of the finalized declaration from their respective governing board(s) to both Caltrans and to the transit operator's respective regional entity.
Please note, while AB 107 includes provisions that transit agencies having obtained approval to redirect SGR funds are technically exempt from the procedural reporting requirements stated in Senate Bill 1, Caltrans encourages our transit partners to continue reporting on how SGR funds are utilized for FY 2019-20 through FY 2021-22 to ensure that the achievements of the SGR Program are documented and acknowledged.
Transit agencies interested in using the flexibility offered through AB 107 to explore contactless payment and/or simplified eligibility verification for discounts described in the California Minimum General Transit Feed Specification Guidelines are encouraged to contact the California Integrated Travel Project.
The CalSMART online reporting tool is now available for agencies to enter and submit their FY 2019-20 SGR Project Status and Expenditure Reports due Friday, January 22, 2021.
A CalSMART "Quick Guide" is available upon request.
December 31, 2020 – Transportation Development Act (TDA) Audit or Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) are due to Caltrans.
For this period of reporting (FY 2019-20), State of Good Repair (SGR) funds are to be identified separately from State Transit Assistance (STA) funds.
In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, electronic versions of the TDA and of CAFR can be submitted (and are preferred).
A 90-day extension (extending the deadline from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021, may be requested; should such an extension be needed, the recipient agency must notify Caltrans in writing via email.

Posted on October 19, 2013	by Amy Britton Mendoza
Welcome to my blog. While I primarily want to use it to share the worlds of my novels, the worlds of Ryunin and Farwynth, I am also dedicating it to my love of Fantasy.
If someone were to ask why I like Fantasy, I would have to say that I agree with what Brandon Sanderson said at the 2010 ALA conference. If I remember correctly, he said that Fantasy to him was not about escapism. That statement immediately resonated with me. On the one hand, it does feel like "escape" to travel in our minds to exotic places we could only wish to visit, but it does not have to be seen that way. Speaking for myself, the reason I love stories in the first place and the reason I like telling stories is because I like people. There is no need to "escape" life.
Rather, I look at Fantasy as a safe place to consider the human struggle of good versus evil unencumbered by the history and politics of the real world. With it I can explore issues of friendship and home, vengeance and forgiveness, prejudice and acceptance, without having to worry about the complications of tribalism. As some college English instructors can attest, there are some adult students out there who feel they cannot "relate" to essays and stories about people raised in different cultures or who happen to be a different gender or age from themselves. Fantasy forces us out of our comfort zones of "normalcy" and teaches readers how to relate to the "foreign."
But beyond the intellectual aspect, the biggest reason I love Fantasy is because it is just plain fun. I love creating characters who live in fantastic places and worlds where magic exists and dragons fly the skies. I do not need to escape there, but I sure do like to visit.

The Bon-Fire Grills are premium-quality outdoor cooking products which work as part of the Bon-Fire Cooking System, although they can be used without too if you are trying to make an outside grill. The Bon-Fire Grills are very popular with scout troops and outdoor teaching events.
There are two sizes of grill - 60cm and 70cm and each has been chrome-plated which makes them much easier to clean. The chrome is also much thicker than cheaper alternatives which reduce chipping and peeling so this should never happen. You will also notice that unlike cheap grills, these have a very good weight and sturdy feel to them.


On Friday 25 January 2019, DPUK formally launched Great Minds – a specialist register for volunteers in dementia-focused clinical research. Great Minds brings together participants from population health studies and makes their extensive health data available to researchers looking to fast-track discoveries for new dementia treatments.
Working collaboratively with the Airwave Health Study – Imperial College's population health study of members of the police force – Great Minds is running a pilot to establish the readiness of the Airwave participants to join Great Minds. Professor Paul Elliott, Principal Investigator of the Airwave study points out: "The biggest health problem the UK faces is dementia so we are delighted to partner with Great Minds to identify the causes of dementia and help develop new treatments."
We know that the causes of dementia start decades before symptoms show, and so the best people to help study these causes are healthy volunteers with background health information. Population health study participants are ideal, as they have provided background health data – sometimes going back years – as part of their original study.
Two million people in the UK have contributed to health studies, providing an amazing wealth of data including demographics, medical history, lifestyle, genetics, and test results. Great Minds aims to bring these people and their data together so that we can match them and their interests with clinical research aimed at accelerating the development of new dementia treatments.
We expect findings from the Great Minds pilot to be available in early March and anticipate that they will compare favourably to our estimate that 10% of participants will join Great Minds. With 38% of the UK population knowing a family member or close friend with dementia and 62% of people saying they would be willing to take part in dementia research, we dare hope that we may attract more to join Great Minds.
Ivan Koychev, Great Minds lead and Clinical Scientist at Dementias Platform UK (DPUK), describes an exciting new chapter in dementia research which, with the support of generous new members of Great Minds, promises to accelerate the development of innovative new treatments.

David Moyes reluctant for West Ham to splash cash on striker transfer this month over coronavirus pandemic fears
DAVID MOYES says the sight of the NHS creaking under pressure and football clubs facing bankruptcy is making him think hard about demanding a fortune to sign a new striker.
West Ham have climbed to the fringes of the top four and the addition of a new goalscorer could provide a massive boost in the topsy-turvy Premier League season.
But Hammers boss Moyes admits that though the club will back him in the transfer market, it doesn't quite sit right given the issues in the country.
He said: "I've got to say that the board have backed me great since I've been here. I've had anything I've really asked for.
"I also know that I am not someone who is going to go and ask for money in a period at the time in football just now where wages couldn't be paid, the NHS is struggling.
"We see so many difficulties outside of football.
"Do I want a top striker? I certainly do. I really do to help us.
"But I'm also mindful that football clubs, a lot are on the verge of going bust and I've got to make sure I do things correctly."
Moyes is now calling for his stars to prove they are not just a flash in the pan by continuing the form which has seen them unbeaten since Christmas and win three straight in the league.
He added: "It is a good position we're in but I want it to be regular, I want the players to prove to me that we're going to be here right until the end and that is the job. I want us to keep improving.
"They are getting a lot of criticism as well and they are having to be corageous to take it as well and try and improve.
"I want to drive them on, I don't want us to be a flash in the pan and do something and fall away."

Welcome to Space Future Japan!
It is Space Tourism Portal site.
Also alone, we expect that it can understand and obtain about a space tourism of many people.
Some people say they do not believe that space travel will ever be cheap "Because if it was possible, Nasa would already have done it by now".
This sounds logical - but it is not correct. In order to understand why, you need to understand about space agencies' problem.
However, in short, space agencies and government space policy-makers have specifically chosen NOT to develop space passenger travel. This prevents most commercial space activities - which of course require commercial demand.
For example, the SpaceShipOne project could have been carried out in the 1970s. Governments had developed sufficient experience of rocket-plane operations in the 1960s to be able to start commercial sub-orbital passenger flight services in the early 1970s. But they chose not to. If they had done that, commercial spacelines would have started operating passenger flights to orbit during the 1980s - and the world economy would be in a much healthier state than it is today.
Soyuz, Space shuttle, Ariane, H2A, Concorde and many other aerospace vehicles have ALL been developed for government organisations using taxpayers' money, and then given to companies to operate. However, governments have chosen not to do this for passenger-carrying space vehicles. This major decision has prevented space activities from contributing much to the economy. Unfortunately this is not widely understood by the general public, taxpayers, and young people.
One of the objectives of SF/J is to teach people about this problem, so they will press the government to change this disastrous policy, and set the space industry contribute to the economy by collaborating with the aviation industry to develop passenger space travel services. In Japan, for example the best way to start is to develop the uchumaru vehicle.
Some people worry that space travel will be very dangerous. However, this is wrong; passenger space travel will be as safe as air travel. This is because passenger space vehicles - whether they take off vertically like RVT or horizontally like SpaceShipOne - will operate like aeroplanes. That is , each vehicle will fly many many many times, and engineers will check them in between flights. As they fly more and more they will accumulate statistical information, which allows engineers to learn what maintenance procedures are necessary to achieve high reliability and safety - as they have with Boeing and Airbus airliners.
This is completely different from the rockets that space agencies operate, which are used only once each, like missiles. Consequently each launch is a first flight, with far too little information to achieve high reliability. And each launch vehicle, on its very first flight, has to reach a speed of 8 km/second in order to reach orbit. A Boeing engineer has said that if the first flight of each airliner they produce was a long-distance flight, many would crash. However, new airliners make a series of test-flights, so that any problems remaining after manufacture can be solved safely.
RVT and SpaceShipOne both do exactly this, making a series of flights that gradually go higher and faster. SpaceShipOne's budget is 20 times that of RVT, and so it has been able to make much faster progress. This is because the government refuses to give a reasonable budget to the RVT team, although it is the most economically valuable project in the whole space industry in Japan as discussed here.
When the RVT team is given a reaonable budget, they will be able to fly it and its successor Uchumaru progressively higher and faster, and achieve whatever level of reliability is required. Like an aeroplane, in order to carry passengers, they will need to prove its safety - which they do by flying repeatedly, however many times is considered necessary - 50 times, 100 times, 200 times. Each flight is very cheap, and can be used for research, so such an activity is very valuable in itself. But it will also start space tourism in Japan - which will be very popular throughout the country.
It is important to remember that air travel today is more than 100 times safer today than it was in the early days of jet travel in the 1960s. Today about 1 airline passenger in 10 million dies in an accident; in the 1960s it was about 1 in 10,000. Yet air travel was still popular in the 1960s. So the first regular passenger flights to space will probably be as safe as 1960s air travel; reaching today's level will take some years of operating experience. What level is acceptable will be decided by customers.
By contrast, today's launch vehicles have a failure rate higher than 1 in 100; for most people - for example those with family reponsibilities - this is much too dangerous. But space agencies only operate such vehicles. It is well-known that government monopolies are very conservative organizations which never want to try anything new or different. But if this was allowed to continue then Japanese industry would never play any role in commercial space development. It has to change - and as soon as possible, before Japan is overtaken by other healthier countries like Korea or Taiwan.
Traveling to space, spending a few days in zero gravity and returning to Earth, poses very little risk to passengers' health. There are four potential problems which have been identified, but each is well-understood and can be controlled.
1) During launch to orbit and re-entry into the atmosphere before landing passengers feel strong acceleration (and deceleration) several times the gravity on Earth - about 3G up to 6G. Vehicles will be designed so that passengers will be lying down as they accelerate upwards. In this position, even 8G is not at all stressful for most people - your arms and legs feel heavy so that you can hardly move them, but it is not in any way painful.
2) On Earth, gravity continually pulls the blood in our body down towards our feet. (That's why your face goes red if you stand on your head - the blood falls down into your head.) So in the weightless environment in space, blood shifts within the body; the pressure in your head rises and falls in your legs. (This is why photos of people in space show them with rather round faces.) This is of no danger to most people.
3) Passengers will receive a higher does of radiation from space than we do on Earth, since much is absorbed in the atmosphere. In a few days in low Earth orbit passengers will receive as much as we receive in about 1 year on the ground. This is of no significant danger for most people.
Dr Melchior Antunano, responsible for medical safety at the FAA, has explained the difference between the approaches of civil aviation and space agencies. Space agencies are government organisations which select who will travel to space. However, airlines are profit-seeking organisations, and they want as many customers as possible, since this makes them rich. The FAA and other national and international aviation organisations do not try to prevent certain people from flying on airlines; they give advice about health risks, and passengers decide for themselves. Their objective is to preserve the maximum possible freedom for passengers.
a) People who have heart disease should consult a doctor about whether the shift of blood in weightlessness will be dangerous for their heart.
b) Women who are pregnant should not travel to space, since unborn baby is particularly sensitive to the increased radiation in space.
c) People who are taking drugs for their brain - such as for epilepsy - should consult with their doctors in case the altered blood flow in their head may affect the drugs' influence.
So, like airlines, spacelines will give advice to passengers so they can avoid any risks.
The other danger to health is of course the risk of an accident of the vehicle on which travelling - which will be kept very low by developing reusable vehicles, as discussed in the discussion on safety.
SF/J has many ideas for activities which will be of interest to sponsors/investors.
1. We can advise on opportunities which could earn a profit for business investors.
2. We can advise on activities which will receive beneficial publicity for sponsors relating to some aspect of space tourism.
3. We can advise those who wish to support an activity of value to humanity, and with which they may wish their name to be associated publicly.
SF/J has proposals for all three groups, and we can advise and collaborate on all types of project, from small-scale to large-scale, and including both conventional and unconventional approaches.
Overall, development of a commercial sub-orbital passenger vehicle needs investment of ten billions yen.
Development of an orbital passenger vehicle requires investment of Hundreds of billions of yen .
Both these projects are innovative and face considerable uncertainties. Consequently they are not of interest to most investors.
When these vehicles are developed, whether by companies or by governments, many new investment and sponsorship opportunities will arise. Indeed, many such opportunities will arise even before such vehicles are operating - as soon as they start to be developed. Timely preparation will allow investors and sponsors to profit from these opportunities. SF/J can advise on these.
Until that time, investors and sponsors need to consider a different range of activities, that do not depend on these vehicles. SF/J can advise about many such possibilities, from Millions of yen upwards, from conventional to high-profile activities.
Please do not hesitate to contact us; we guarantee that you will be intrigued and surprised by the possibilities that we have prepared.

New research reveals skills challenges for high-end television
The high-end television production boom is causing burnout among workers working without breaks between jobs and encouraging workers to step into more senior roles too soon, according to new research.
A lack of available crew and skills gaps remain the key challenges for high-end television production in the UK.
The findings were the results of qualitative and quantitative interviews conducted for ScreenSkills High-end TV Skills Fund which invests industry contributions in skills and training for high-end TV production.
Summary of key findings:
A lack of availability of crew and skills gaps remain the key issues for the majority of research participants
The recent surge in demand is exacerbating skills issues
Supply of crew has not grown in line with increased production, so the industry faces a significant crew shortage
The major consequence of a lack of available crew is stepping up too early
Hikes in crew rates are said be running to levels some regard as detrimental to the industry
A clear hierarchy of shows within HETV has emerged, with the largest budgeted dramas more likely to be coveted by crew due to premium rates paid, the kudos of the ambition of these shows, a requirement for larger crews and the length of contracts on offer
It is becoming harder to find time for on-the-job training; high pressure shows provide less opportunity for job shadowing and less time for training
The way crews are coping with the current pressures demonstrates their resilience and ingenuity
Scarcity of line producers is becoming an issue as more indies set up and employ experienced line producers as heads of production
Crew are working more weeks in a year and taking less downtime to recharge or to up-skill
This is resulting in more burn-out for crew and a less skilled workforce.
Kaye Elliott, Director of High-end Television, said: "The downside to the positive production figures are the reports of burnout as people take on work while it is available, but are reluctant to take a proper break between jobs. It is also bad for productions and for the individuals concerned if a lack of enough skilled workers means people step into more senior roles before they are ready, adding pressure to the whole crew.
"Both consequences make it even more pressing that we act to increase the pool of skilled workers in the UK. Industry also need to consider how to offer more training opportunities on the job to enable crew to upskill in a supported way. The increase in the cap on industry contributions to the High-end TV Skills Fund is a positive step to help boost skills and training when it comes on line next month. But it will need to be accompanied by some collaborative thinking on best practice by the industry if we are to grow and develop the workforce the UK is famous for."
The research, which was conducted for the High-end TV Skills Council by Profundo Consulting, is a follow-up to research into the challenges facing high-end television production carried out in 2017.
ScreenSkills is the strategic skills body which administers the High-end TV Skills Fund. This fund is used to support skills and training in high-end television to ensure its long-term prosperity.
The organisation consults with the HETV industry to ensure the HETV Skills Fund is spent where it is most needed and in areas where it will have the most positive impact.
Key objectives for the research were to update understanding of the key issues identified by challenge to inform investment decisions.
Industry is encouraged to contribute 0.5% of UK production spend up to a cap, due to rise from £41,800 to £55,000 next month.

Trump Calls Gingrich's Criticism Against Him 'Inappropriate'
If you thought Newt Gingrich was going to get a severe tongue lashing from Donald Trump, you were wrong.
3 years ago by John Amato
On Fox News Sunday, Newt Gingrich, who has been rumored to be in the running for Trump's VP, called out Donald for attacking the heritage of Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge presiding over one of his lawsuits.
He said, "This is one of the worst mistakes Trump has made and I think it's inexcusable."
Trump joined his pals at Fox and Friends this morning and responded to Gingrich's criticisms by saying, "...as far as Newt is concerned, I saw Newt, I was surprised at Newt. I thought it was inappropriate of what he said."
Steve Doocey followed by explaining Newt's feelings on the matter and said that Curiel was appointed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, but Trump retorted that he was appointed to the federal bench by President Obama.
After cutting the video I was pretty surprised at Trump's almost tame criticism of Gingrich. All in all this was a pretty minor attack on Gingrich, who usually goes for the throat against anybody he feels hasn't treated him fairly.
Rumors are that Trump wants somebody with congressional experience so maybe he'll forgive Gingrich this one transgression.

Changing climate patterns have already begun to have considerable impact on agricultural production in many regions. In the near future, shifts in local climatic conditions and the frequency of extreme weather events such as droughts and floods are expected to occur even more frequently, with potentially devastating effects for agricultural yields. Strategies need to be developed to make our food and farming systems more resilient to the effects of climate change.
The IFOAM EU Group released a new Dossier titled "Organic Agriculture – A Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation", dealing with this issue. The dossier presents a collection of articles by researchers who, from a multidisciplinary approach, analyze scientific data and demonstrate the potential of Organic Agriculture, as a holistic sustainable production system which contributes to increase farmer's resilience to adapt to changing climate patterns. Topics include the organic farming practices as an investment in climate change resilience (A. Müller and A. Gattinger), a focus on the Northern Europe (J.E Olesen), on the Mediterranean regions (E. Aguilera, G. Guzmán and L. Ortolani) and an analysis of the international and European legal context of climate change adaptation in agriculture (A. Kölling and T. Elola-Calderón).

Beautiful classical music cues. Cut to a girl walking in and lying down on a railroad track, Cut to a person driving off a cliff, Cut to a bunch of people crossing themselves and jumping off of a bridge, Cut to a girl walking down the street casually and comfortably in her Levis. Cue voiceover "Levis. You'll make people want to kill themselves because they look so hideous compared to you." Pan to a guy who sees the girl walking down the street and then just starts punching himself in the face. End.
what a wonderful idea, you should try to seriously market it. there may be some people that think it is a little "outrageous" but that just goes to show how stupid those people are.
The scary thing is that in Europe, that ad campaign would totally work.
One small step for advertising, one giant leap closer to France.

U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today rallied with employees and company executives at the General Revenue Corporation (GRC)/Pioneer facility in Horseheads, New York to officially announce the company will create nearly 300 new, local jobs with the award of a new federal contract made possible by Schumer's push to include a provision in the federal transportation bill that passed Congress last December – the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. The provision enabled the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to hire designated private collection agencies to support the collection of delinquent taxes that are not being collected now for lack of federal resources. The recovered funds will pay for the collections themselves and go into the Treasury's General Fund, which supports national priorities such as funding public infrastructure projects, the U.S. military, and other federal needs.
"The creation of nearly 400 good-paying, middle-class jobs across these three facilities is welcome news for families in the Southern Tier and Upstate New York. The new law and the resulting federal contract will help inject new life into the regional economy. The employees of GRC/Pioneer have earned this opportunity with their hard work and dedication. These new positions will surely cement GRC/Pioneer's position in the Chemung County business community and allow the company to continue as a critical engine of economic development across New York State," said Senator Schumer.
In addition, Schumer announced that, as a result of the company's success, GRC/Pioneer will be hiring more than 90 people between their facilities in Arcade and Perry as well as the 300 to be located in Horseheads. In order to find local workers who qualify for these jobs, the company will be holding recruitment events and job fairs – open to the public – starting on November 2.
Pioneer Credit Recovery and General Revenue Corporation are subsidiaries of Navient, the nation's leading loan management, servicing and asset recovery company. Pioneer has three facilities in Upstate New York – two located in Wyoming County in the Towns of Arcade and Perry, and one located in Chemung County in the Town of Horseheads. Pioneer estimates this contract will create 300 new jobs at its Horseheads facility. GRC will also be investing millions of dollars into a build out at its facility to accommodate this new work, which means an economic boost for local contractors and other area businesses.
Schumer said this is incredible news for the company and the local employees it will hire across Upstate New York. Schumer said the new IRS contract, in particular, helps solidify Pioneer's presence in Upstate New York by diversifying its customer base and strengthening the company's long-term bottom line. Moreover, the contract will provide advancement and promotion opportunities for current Pioneer employees.
Schumer was joined by Navient CEO Jack Remondi; Jeff Mersmann Vice President of Operations at Navient and President of Pioneer Credit Recovery; along with representatives from local contractors and GRC employees; Chemung County Executive Tom Santulli; Chemung County Director of Personnel and Labor Relations Mike Mucci; Chair of the Chemung County Legislature Donna Draxler; Chemung County Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Kamala Keeley; and Big Flats Mayor Ed Fairbrother.

Top celebrities, educators and CEOs come together to celebrate India's first ever Graduation Documentary film Under 25's 'Batch of 2020'
By India Education Diary Bureau Admin	 On Jul 8, 2020
New Delhi: As a country that stresses greatly on education, India has made its mark as one of the largest higher education systems in the world. It is no wonder then that students treat their graduation day as their final rite of passage into the real world – a day when they amass memories and motivation from friends and loved ones alike.
However, the case isn't the same with the Batch of 2020 across the globe. Despite 21 years of hustle, their graduation was unceremoniously stolen by COVID-19, leaving many confused and disillusioned by what their future could possibly hold for them now.
Echoing students' sentiments that something fundamental must change, Anto Philip, Co-founder of Under 25, decided to take matters in his own hands to ensure India's Batch of 2020 stands united, no matter what the odds.
In a first by an Indian, the world over, Philip brought together stalwarts such as Armaan Malik, Akash Iyer, Anand Gandhi, Anupama Chopra, Bryden-Parth, Debosmita Majumder, Deepika Padukone, Dhruv Chitgopekar, Faye D'Souza, Hrithik Roshan, Jordindian, Raghava KK, Reba John, Rega Jha, Roshan Abbas and Tanmay Bhat, to create the country's first graduation documentary – aptly titled 'Batch of 2020'.
Written and narrated by youth icon Anto Philip himself, this novel docu-film has been directed and produced by students under the 'Under 25 Studios' banner, to address key topics that the batch of 2020 will find value in. These include chats around "Everything you need to know about graduating in 2020", "Lessons from other batches", "First-Year after graduation", "Dropping Out", "Qualities a graduating student must have in 2020" and others.
"Batch of 2020 offers tribute not only to the current graduating batch of 2020 in India but also to all students, educators, parents or anyone across the world who has, through the years, succumbed to the pressure and anxiety of being defined by just certificates and degrees," mentions Anto. "This one hour power-packed docu-film offers a wealth of information, inspiration, and insights by chosen motivators and disruptors who are educators, employers, entertainers and leaders from varied backgrounds and graduation batches, via thoughtfully curated conversations, speeches, and tongue-in-cheek interviews."
"This year hasn't been an easy ride – the times are changing and all of us are learning to adapt in our own ways. My motto has always been to learn as I navigate through life – one step at a time and at your own pace, and I'm here to tell you that you'll brave through all hurdles and find what is best for you. Take this documentary as a map for your future adventure, let it be the light in the dark and prepare you for the life that begins here…today" said Singer-songwriter Armaan Malik
In conclusion, Anto joins all speakers and celebrities in saying, "If there is one key message that this heartfelt film wants to convey to the youth, then it is this – the world needs us to be brave enough to un-conform. We must treat 2020 as a year of unknown opportunities that require us to break the shackles of our traditional 'formal education system' and on its debris, build a new India that measures success on its own terms."

As a consultant I have only a limited amount of time to work on any given project, which means I need to be as efficient as possible and I am constantly on the lookout for the best time saving tips, tricks and techniques to increase productivity. Enter: Redgate SQL Prompt. Without question, SQL Prompt has been the number one tool in my toolbelt for increasing productivity when working in SQL Server Management Studio and it has allowed me to save precious resource hours developing that I've been able to then devote elsewhere.
This blog will cover some of my favorite features of SQL Prompt, along with examples from the AdventureWorks2014 database.
Formatting and re-factoring code can be tedious and time-consuming, but SQL Prompt makes the job much easier with a menu of options to automate the process. To view the options available for re-formatting, highlight the section of code you would like to re-format then click on the icon that appears to left of the code to open the Action List. Once selected, the menu will pop up with a list of options that can be selected and applied. Although there are 20+ options in the menu, I will highlight just a few of my favorites below, along with their keyboard shortcuts.
This option will expand any asterisks(*) in your code into a list of the columns they represent. Additionally, if you have assigned an alias to a table, any columns from that table that are expanded as a part of the 'Expand Wildcards' features will include the alias qualification. Below is an example of this feature being applied. The code on the left represents the original SQL statement, and the code on the right is the statement after the feature has been applied (Note: if you would like to qualify the columns regardless of whether or not the table has been aliased, that setting can be adjusted in the Options menu). Notice the table aliases have been used to qualify each column name.
This option will re-format your SQL code to whatever style is selected in the formatting style section of the SQL Prompt Options menu. You can select from one of the default options provided or create your own formatting preference. By re-formatting code it becomes much easier to read and allows for consistency between all code that is written. Below is an example of a code snippet before and after having formatting applied. In the 'After' example, notice the table 'AddressType' is now qualified with the schema name, the columns coming from that table are qualified with the table alias, and lines have been separated and indented for readability.
This option will add single quotation marks and commas around each item in a highlighted list. The benefit of this feature is clear when working with datasets from an outside source such as Excel, where you may be copying and pasting a list of values to an IN clause. The following is an example of before and after this functionality has been applied.
In addition to the options available in the Action List, SQL Prompt offers other shortcuts to help increase efficiency during development. Below are a few of the shortcuts that I find to be quite helpful.
When the cursor is over an object, such as a table, view or stored procedure, hitting the F12 key will script the object into an ALTER statement. This allows you to look at the underlying code and make adjustments as necessary.
From time to time it is helpful to look at an object in Object Explorer, and the shortcut of Shift+F12 allows you to do that quickly. Similar to the previous shortcut, this will be applied to the object that is actively selected by the cursor.
When you hit the F5 key in SSMS it will either execute all SQL statements in the query window, or only those which have been fully highlighted. SQL Prompt offers an alternative to this through the shortcut of Shift+F5, which will execute only the statement where the cursor is placed, and it does not require the entire statement be highlighted.
Sometimes it may be necessary to rename existing variables and aliases, and a shortcut exists to help with this rename within a segment of code. To utilize this function, select an instance of the alias or variable in your code and hit the F2 key. This will highlight the alias and any changes made to the highlighted instance will be applied to all others in the code.
Beyond working in the query window, SQL Prompt also offers a set of features for working with the result grid. To access these features, highlight the section of the result grid you would like to work with, right click, and select the option you would like to apply. An example of the options available are circled in red in the image below.
Selecting this option will generate a script that creates a temporary table, inserts the selected records into it, and drops the temporary table. Once the script has been generated you can modify and update it as necessary for your needs. An example of this feature, utilizing the first five rows of the result set shown in Figure 5, can be seen below.
This option will copy the results you have selected into the format of an IN clause and save to your clipboard so you can paste it into a query. This function will also eliminate any duplicates, so your IN clause will have only one instance of each attribute selected. For example, if this option was applied to the highlighted section of the result set shown in Figure 5, it would return the results you see below.
This option is fairly straightforward and functions exactly as it sounds – it will open Excel and load the results you have selected into a spreadsheet. This feature will automatically copy any column headers and it will maintain formatting so that no leading zeroes are dropped from your results.
Another great time-saving feature of SQL Prompt is Smart Rename, which allows you to rename objects without breaking dependencies. To use the feature you must locate the object you wish to update in Object Explorer, right click, and select 'Smart Rename' from the drop down menu. When this feature is selected it will open a wizard that allows you to specify a new name for the object, see the actions that will be taken, view any potential warnings that should be considered prior to making the update, and generate a script that will modify your original object as well as any that have dependencies on it. An example of the Wizard, being utilized to change the table Person.Person to Person.Persons can be seen below.
Once you have selected 'View Script' from the wizard, the script will open in a new query window. The script will begin with a commented-out segment of code that provides a summary of the actions it will perform, followed by the script itself. It is always good practice to thoroughly review the script and make sure you have a firm understanding of the updates it will make prior to executing it.
The final feature I'll cover is also the one I utilize most often – Snippets. Snippets are saved blocks of code that can be inserted into the query window quickly through keyboard shortcuts or menu options. SQL Prompt not only comes with a selection of default snippets, but it also lets you easily create your own through the Snippet Manager, which can be accessed through the SQL Prompt drop down on the main tool bar. To insert a snippet into the query window, simply enter the Snippet value then hit the Tab button, which will expand the Snippet into its underlying Code. Alternatively, once you begin entering a snippet a suggestion menu will pop up and you can select it from there as well.
In addition to the default snippets included with SQL Prompt, you also have the ability to customize your own. To do this, open the Snippet Manager and select the 'New…' button. A window will open that will allow you to name the snippet, provide a description of its functionality, and enter the code it will call. Within the code you also have the ability to add placeholders or parameters. Placeholders will insert specified text when the snippet is called to action and are identified in snippet code by being enclosed in dollar signs. For example, the placeholder $DATE$ will insert the current date when the snippet is used. Parameters are specified in code with angle brackets and allow you to set the parameter name, as well as an optional data type and default value. For example, a parameter labelled 'Name' with a datatype of varchar(50) and a default value of 'Ashley' would be represented as <Name, Varchar(50), Ashley>. When a snippet is called from the query window a menu will open that will allow you to update any parameter values (this window can also be opened with the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+M).
Below is an example of both the guide used to create a new snippet (Figure 10) and how that snippet actually appears in the query window (Figure 11). In this example, I have utilized two default placeholders as well as a customized parameter. I have set the parameter name to 'CustomValue' and have chosen not to specify a data type or default value.
The convenient keyboard shortcuts and user friendly functionality of SQL Prompt have made it one of my most valuable time saving tools, but I do believe it's important to only use those functions I have already mastered on my own, and I would recommend the same for any user. For example, you can use a default snippet to generate code for creating a stored procedure, but if that's not a process you've done manually in the past then you won't have a thorough understanding of how it actually works and you risk depriving yourself of that knowledge.
There are some features that come standard with Microsoft SQL Server that are similar in nature to those I've described here from SQL Prompt, but because I find their SQL Prompt alternatives easier to access and use, and their functionality more robust, I favor them in my own day-to-day work and have chosen to highlight them here.
If you have any feedback on this list, or tips of your own for increasing productivity within SQL Server Management Studio, I'd love to hear it! Please feel free to reach out to me at ashley.day@talavant.com.

Catherine focuses on the mechanical aspects of the brain while knitting and reviews the different kind of knitting (from focused to meditation) and then she goes over some of the different lobes of the brain that are activated while knitting. She lists different brain waves that are activated during different activities including knitting, watching TV, meditation, reading and listening to audio books. Lots of fascinating material here and it raises many questions but we just need more research to answer them. Here are some links to look at: here and here.
One evening a month, the businesses of Eureka, CA (First Saturdays of the month) and Arcata, CA (Second Fridays of the month) hold an open house featuring the arts — mostly visual and musical. Some places have bands or other music, snacks and wine. These celebrations are on different nights of the week so you can go to both each month.

Q: Locally nilpotent algebraic section of tangent bundle is complete? Suppose $X$ is a smooth affine algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $V$ be an algebraic vector field (i.e. an algebraic section of the tangent bundle). If $V$ is locally nilpotent, meaning that for every $f\in\mathbb{C}[X]$ there exists $k\in\mathbb{N}$ such that $V^k(f) = 0$, does it necessarily follow that $V$ is complete? By complete vector field, I mean that the flow $\phi_t(x)$ of $V$ exists for all $x\in X$ and for all $t\in \mathbb{C}$.

A: Yes, it is complete. The flow is given by the operator $e^{tV}$ acting on the coordinate functions $x^i$. This is defined globally because on Zariski open sets the operator is a unipotent linear transformation, so given by polynomials in $t$.

Deir Istiya () is a Palestinian town of 5,200 located in the Salfit Governorate in the northern West Bank,  southwest of Nablus. The built-up area of Deir Istiya is 74 dunams, and its old city has about thirty families.

Location
Deir Istiya is  located    north of Salfit. It is bordered by Zeita Jamma'in and Kifl Haris  to the east, Haris and Qarawat Bani Hassan to the south, Kafr Thulth and 'Azzun to the west, and Kafr Laqif, Jinsafut and Immatain to the north.

History
The town is named for the nearby tomb of Istiya which, according to ethnographer Tawfiq Canaan and historian Moshe Sharon, is the Arabic name for Isaiah.

Potsherds from Iron Age II,  Crusader/Ayyubid and  the Mamluk era have been found by at Deir Istiya.

In the 12th and 13th centuries, during the Crusader era, Deir Istiya was inhabited by Muslims, according to  Ḍiyā' al-Dīn.  He also noted  that followers of Ibn Qudamah lived here.

In 1394 Deir Istiya was required to supply lentils, olive oil and flour as a religious endowment (waqf) to the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron on the orders of the Mamluk sultan Barquq.  Since the  Mamluk era in Palestine, Deir Istiya has been a center of olive-based agriculture. Today, it possesses one of the largest areas of land planted with olive groves, at nearly 10,000 dunams.

Ottoman era

The village was a part of Sanjak Nablus in the Ottoman period beginning in the early 16th century. In 1596, Dayr Istya  appeared in Ottoman tax registers  being in the Nahiya  of Jabal Qubal, part of  the  Sanjak of Nablus. It had a population of 133 households and 12 bachelors, all Muslim. The villagers  paid a fixed tax rate of 33,3%  on various agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, summer crops, olives, goats and/or beehives; a total of 23,860  Akçe.  Potsherds from the early Ottoman period have been also found here.

In the early 17th century, Deir Istiya and nearby Beit Wazan were the ancestral seats of the Qasim family who controlled Jamma'in and most of eastern Sanjak Nablus. The Qasim fortified and made Deir Istiya their primary southern base. The Rayyan clan from Majdal Yaba also exercised some influence over the village.
In 1838, Edward Robinson noted it as a village, Deir Estia,  in the Jurat Merda district, south of Nablus.

During the "civil war" period in Jabal Nablus (1853–57), the Qasim family, formerly led by Qasim al-Ahmad, vacated Deir Istiya and were said to have sought refuge with the Nimr family in Nablus.

In the second half of the 19th century, the village was ruled by the Abu Hijleh clan, who continue to live there. The Abu Hijleh were dominant in the area, and had great wealth. In 1870 French scholar Victor Guérin remarked that Deir Istiya had been much larger and that it was probably inhabited since "ancient times," noting that in the Mosque of Deir Istiya were marble columns (some with chiseled out crucifixes) dating back to the Christian era in Palestine. In 1882 Deir Istiya was described as "a large village on high ground, surrounded with olive-groves, and supplied by cisterns."

British Mandate era
The British wrested control of Palestine from the Ottomans in 1917, and in 1921, a resident was publicly beat to death in Deir Istiya for allegedly possessing weapons. The British appointed the role of leadership to one branch of Abu Hijleh clan, fomenting rivalry with the other branch. The British established a school in the village in 1923. Having a school established in the area cemented Deir Istiya as one of the main villages in central-western Samaria.

In the 1922 census of Palestine Deir Istiya had a population of 674 inhabitants, all Muslim, rising to 886 in the 1931 census, still all Muslim, in a total of 206 houses.

In the 1945 statistics a population of 1,190 was recorded, still all Muslim, while the total land area was 34,164 dunams, according to an official land and population survey. Of this, 6,373 dunams were for plantations and irrigable land, 4,896 for cereals, while 65 dunams were classified as built-up areas.

Jordanian era
After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, it was annexed by Jordan, and from 1950 to 1960, the Palestine Communist Party became prominent in the village earning it the local name of "Little Berlin."

In 1961, while a part of Jordan, there were 1,641 residents in Deir Istiya.

Post-1967
During the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel and coalition of Arab states, the village was targeted by Israeli forces. Most of the inhabitants were rounded up, with the women in the mosque and the men in the school, and the mayor Jamal Abu Hijleh was ordered to implement Israeli orders in the village. Since the 1967 war, Deir Istiya has been held under Israeli occupation.

Throughout the first part of the occupation by Israel, from 1967 to 1990, nearly half of the population emigrated to Kuwait or other Persian Gulf States. In the 1970s local resistance in the form of sumud increased in the village, including the raising of Palestinian flags, graffiti, and blocking roads. As a result, in 1974, about 50 men were arrested and served prison terms ranging from six months to three years.

After the 1995 accords, 17% of village land was classified as Area B land, while the remaining 83% is Area C. Israel has expropriated land from Deir Istiya in order to construct several Israeli settlements:
951 dunams for Emmanuel,
920 dunams for Ginnot Shomeron,
659 dunams for Yakir,
625 dunams for Nofim,
512 dunams for Karne Shomron,
335 dunams for Revava,
69 dunams for Ma'ale Shomron

The Israel Nature and Parks Authority has established a nature reserve in the Wadi Qana, occupying privately owned Palestinian farmland which had been worked before the Israeli authorities declared it a park. In 2012 the Israeli Civil Administration ordered local villagers to uproot more than 1,000 olive trees from the area. The residents of Deir Istiya, are contesting the injunction in court. The park, they say, incorporates part of their land, and a double standard is being applied, with Israeli settlements permitted in the area, and a road to one of them built through the park itself.

Islamic structures
The Mosque of Deir Istiya located in the middle of the village. It consists of three aisles, each having three bays and nearby are the remains of an ancient wall. To the west of the village is the Mosque of Nabi Allah Amisiya, which consists of two aisles and two bays. The mosque is adjacent to maqam (shrine) Istiya. It is a square chamber with a dome constructed of small stones. About 50 meters north of Deir Istiya is a shrine for Nabi Khatir who according to inscriptions, died in 1148 CE.

Demographics
According to Victor Guerin in June 1870, Deir Istiya had roughly 400 inhabitants. In the 1922 census of Palestine it had a population of 674 inhabitants, all Muslim, rising to 886 in the 1931 census, still all Muslim, in a total of  206 houses. The Village Statistics, 1945, recorded a population of 1,190, still all Muslim.

In 1961, while a part of Jordan, there were 1,641 residents, decreasing drastically after its occupation by Israel with nearly half of the residents gradually emigrating mostly to Kuwait. In 1982, there were 1,500 people living in Deir Istiya, rising to 2,100 in 1987.

In a 1997 census carried out by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Deir Istiya had a population of 2,802, of which only 2.1% were Palestinian refugees. Over half of the population is under the age of 20 (51.8%). People between the ages of 20 and 44 make up 33.3% of the population, 14.8% between 45 and 64, and 6% over the age of 65. According to the bureau's 2007 census, the town's population had increased to 3,106.

Economy

Compared to other villages in the Salfit District, Deir Istiya has a high percentage of professional workers (doctors, office workers, lawyers). About 20% of the people work in government related jobs, with the Palestinian National Authority, mostly police or teachers. Between 1967 and 1993, most of the working inhabitants were employed mainly in farming or labor in Israel, which the village was highly dependent upon. However, after Israel closed the border in 2000 due to the Second Intifada, most of these laborers turned to farming their own fields.

Deir Istiya has the largest land area in the Salfit Governorate, and the second largest in the West Bank after Tubas. Since the Intifada, agriculture — the backbone of the village's economy — has drastically been reduced. Prior to the violence, there were sixteen goat farms and nine dairy farms, decreasing to five goat farms and one dairy farm presently. Olive oil is the main commodity and there are vast amounts of olive trees. Most of the oil is either exported to the Gulf States or sold to Palestinian merchants. There have been moves, with foreign aid, to improve the quality of locally produced olive oil with the intention of marketing it as a high quality product in Europe under the Zaytoun Fairtrade label. This industry is, however, under pressure as a result of Israeli land confiscations and the destruction of olive groves. In particular, in April 2012, notice was served on Palestinian landowners for the destruction of some 1,400 olive trees.

Prior to the Intifada, 40 families raised livestock, but this dramatically decreased to just five families after the Intifada. Residents claim that the decrease was due to Israel's confiscation of 20,000 dunams of village lands, and fear of attack by Israeli settlers. In 2008, over 70% of the village was unemployed. There are three oil presses and two marble processing plants in Deir Istiya. Marble is supplied by Hebron, Jenin or imported from Italy. About 15 women are employed in a sewing factory where pieces are received and assembled.

Government
A village council of eleven members administrates Deir Istiya. The members are nominated by the prominent families of the village, and are approved by the Palestinian National Authority. In the 2005 Palestinian municipal elections, Fatah won three seats, Hamas won three, the Communist Palestinian People's Party won three, including the mayoral seat, and a local group won two seats. Palestinian People's Party member Jamal Alfaris won the post of mayor.

Families
The major families of Deir Istiya are the Abu Hijlehs, the Zidanes and the Al Qadis who none of which are native to Deir Istiya. The Abu Hijlehs come from an old Arab clan indigenous to Palestine called the Arab Al Sabeeheen who first settled in Kafr ad-Dik and then Deir Istiya and predate the arabisation of the Levant. The Zidanes originate from Hebron and are direct relatives to the Al Jaabari who are one of the biggest families of Hebron. The Al Qadis migrated from Marda into Deir Istiya but according to family history they originate from the Hejaz.

The minor families of Deir Istiya who are individually smaller than the aforementioned families still make up the majority when grouped and unlike the major ones are native. They are financially weaker and own less land and most of which are Falahi working in Wadi Qana.

Home » News » News » What Are We Going To Do To Increase The Plasticity Of The Alumina Ceramic Tube?
In general, in order to increase the plasticity of the alumina ceramic tube, in order to directly meet our users in the use of a size and its corrosion resistance, for the alumina ceramic tube, it is in the production of the time , Certainly that ultimately, our hot-pressing process, on its aspects of the measures, then there will certainly be a lot of aspects.
First of all, it is in the pre-pressure treatment, its main purpose, that is, to prevent our alumina ceramic tube in the hot press to install the plate when the direct displacement, and thus also It will cause its core and the seam and a series of defects, when it is in the billet, that is, before the hot press, it must be directly at room temperature preload, so that you can make Its direct bonding into a whole material.
The next words, that is, on the alumina ceramic tube of a hot-pressing treatment, on this treatment, we actually use the hot gluing process, on its hot pressing temperature, it is usually about 140oC, Its unit pressure, then it is actually 2.5-3.0MPa.
Finally, for the alumina ceramic tube to improve its plasticity, then we actually have to carry out three steps of antihypertensive treatment, when it is in the post-hot process of a process, on its first paragraph, it is actually by the work The pressure directly to the "balance of pressure", on its second paragraph, that is, by the "balance of pressure" directly down to zero, for its third paragraph, that is, from zero to the ceramic lift tube, In order to complete the opening of its.
In the last words, in its three aspects of the above, for its alumina ceramic tube, in the hot-pressing process, on its maximum is to meet the requirements of its use. Moreover, we should also pay attention to, for the alumina ceramic tube is concerned, it is used in many occasions, in fact, is the need to directly implement the clamping connection.

St. Stephen's and St. Nicholas parish – Manor Park is the Catholic parish Church of Manor Park, Newham, greater London. The parish is the eastern most parish in the Newham deanery bordering Ilford, and our Brentwood diocesan charity number is 234092.
Catholic Christianity began as a persecuted religious community, illegal in the Roman Empire in its early days, but within some 300 years and with the conversion of the Emperor Constantine, it became legal and eventually was recognised as the official religion of the Empire.
The Bishop of Rome, commonly known as the Pope, is the head of the Roman Catholic Church; he is considered Peters successor. The Holy See is the Episcopal Jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church and head of the Vatican City State.
Members of the Catholic Church congregate in communion of churches headed by bishops, whose role originated with the disciples of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. The bishops spread out across the world to form a "universal" (Greek Katholikos) church with the bishop of Rome (traced to the apostle Peter) holding primacy.


Gulo gulo (Linneaus 1758; up to 110 cm in length) is the extant wolverine, a ferocious predator resembling a small bear. Here it nests with Arctodus, the short-face bear at the base of the higher Carnivora.
Arctodus simus (Leidy 1854; Cope 1874; up to 3 to 3.7m tall) is the extinct short-faced bear, one of the largest terrestrial mammalian carnivores of all time. Long limbs made it a fast predator. The two species can be clearly separated based on the relative proportions of their molars and premolars. Here it nests with Gulo, the wolverine, in the LRT.
Kerberos langebadreae (Solé et al. 2015; Middle Eocene) was originally described as sister to the marsupial Hyaenodon. Here Kerberos nests with Sarkastodon and Patriofelis in the placental clade, Carnivora. The skull is lower and longer and includes more premolars along with smaller canines.
Patriofelis ulta (Leidy 1873; Middle Eocene; 1.5m snout to vent length) was the size of a cougar, but with shorter legs and wider feet, the first step toward marine taxa like Phoca and Palaeosinopa. Traditionally considered a relative of Oxyaena, here Patriofelis nests between the wolverine, Gulo, and Sarkastodon. Distinctly the nasals are hourglass in shape.
Sarkastodon mongoliensis (Granger 1938; AMNH 26641; preserved skull length 37cm; Eocene, 35mya) was originally considered close to the creodont marsupial, Oxyaena. Here this bear-like carnivore nests in the Carnivora between the wolverine, Gulo, and the seal (Phoca) clade + the Stylinodon clade. Distinctly the robust nasal hangs over the naris, only two robust procumbent premaxillary teeth are present and the multicusp molars have blunt tips, ideal for bone cracking.

The first X-Men: Dark Phoenix trailer is here. Oh boy. It's the last movie in the series before the X-Men rights go over to you-know-who. This is it after 19 years and there's just so much to take in: Jean Grey gone bad; a possible Magneto team-up with one of the purest X-Men, a probable big death, and so much more.
The internet, as ever, has come prepared with its laundry list of hot takes and overreactions about the Dark Phoenix trailer. Let's take a look at some of them, shall we?
Welp. A lot of fans aren't taking the fact that the Dark Phoenix trailer is the beginning of the end for Fox's X-Men output very well at all. Sad face.
Jean Grey as the focus: good or bad?
This one's going to split opinion right down the middle. Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner is back again as Jean Grey – and the Phoenix Force seems to have gotten its mitts on her, as she looks suitably evil throughout the trailer. That's not even taking into account Jessica Chastain's character and her nefarious influence. Still, some fans aren't convinced.
One thing is for certain: no one's a big believer in these X-Men costumes. Far from carrying the sheen of previous movies, these look downright ropey.
Someone's popping their clogs – but who? Spoilers here: because everyone seems to have figured out whose funeral that is. Bonus points for those saying the X-Men franchise is in that casket. Hi-bloody-larious.
There's a select few fans who are really excited. There's Spongebob memes and everything.
Mark the date: February 14, 2019. But that's not all, as there's even more upcoming movies on the way.
