Seven encounters three ex-Borg with whom she had been temporarily separated from the Collective eight years previously.
A Borg sphere crashes.
Dusk on an alien world. A Borg sphere streaks through the sky before crashing on the surface.
The surviving drones from the sphere's crash.
Night on a foggy, swampy world. A Borg drone walks through the mist. It is joined by a second, and then a third. Finally a fourth appears. The fourth is Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01. They gather near a dead drone. They assess their situation: their vessel has crashed, they seem to be the only survivors, and their link to the Borg Collective has been cut. Seven of Nine notes that the wrecked vessel's transwarp chamber will explode imminently, and leads the other three drones away from the area. They take the corpse of the dead drone with them.
Voyager docked at the Markonian outpost
2376, Eight Years Later
"It's got me by the hair!"
The USS Voyager has docked at the Markonian outpost. Captain Janeway has authorized a technology and culture exchange, giving the crew an opportunity for shore leave. The bridge is bustling with crew and aliens. Janeway is in her ready room, the room packed with gifts from different visiting alien delegations. Commander Chakotay brings another. Tuvok arrives, not with gifts, but a report (not one, not two, but three pages long) detailing minor theft and damage of some ship's equipment and crewmembers' personal items, but Janeway, along with Chakotay, is nonetheless pleased at how things are going.
In Astrometrics, Seven of Nine, now a former Borg drone, is working. Naomi Wildman, enters and reminds her of their lunch date. Seven tries to delay it until she has finished, but Naomi's plaintive complaints that she promised makes her stop and agree. They leave together. Outside, the corridor is crowded. Naomi politely asks for space for them to pass, but her small voice cannot be heard over the din. However, Seven's loud, imperious command to "Stand aside!" gets them their required space and they proceed to the mess hall.
They sit together in the mess hall, observing the aliens mixing with the crew. Naomi begins identifying them by Borg species designations, but Seven sternly chides her, reminding her that both she and Ensign Wildman disapprove of this. The presence of the large crowd begins to disquiet Seven; she explains that crowds remind her of the Borg Collective. Naomi sympathetically suggests that they leave.
Seven and Naomi's visitor.
They are about to do so when a burly, middle-aged man with a scarred face approaches. "Are you Seven of Nine?" he asks. When Seven guardedly affirms, he opens a case and shows her some Borg implants. Seven leaps to her feet, looking as if she has seen a ghost. She remembers the events seen in the Teaser. She identifies the implants as Borg synaptic relays from her old unimatrix, Unimatrix 01. The man offers them to her in trade. Seven agrees, takes them and quickly leaves. The man walks way.
However, he does not go far. He stands looking around. Then he mentally relays the following information: Stage two is complete. She has the relays. She's going to study them. In Engineering, a woman mentally receives the message and, also mentally, relays the location of Seven's alcove to him: Cargo Bay 2. A young man in a crowded corridor also receives the message. The three agree to rendezvous at the older man's position, and conspire to penetrate ship's security.
The four marooned drones extract parts from the corpse of the dead drone to build a com beacon to contact the Collective. Three of them bear resemblance to the three conspirators. But, as they work, severed from the hive mind, their personalities and pre-assimilation memories begin to reassert themselves. One begins recalling the religious beliefs of his people regarding the treatment of the dead. Two others ask him about it. Talk of individuality starts. But Seven of Nine sternly instructs them to cease the irrelevant talk; they are Borg, not individuals.
One of the Borg synaptic relays
Seven and Chief Engineer Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres examine the Borg synaptic relays in Cargo Bay 2, Seven's 'quarters'. Meanwhile, the three conspirators discuss their course of action, seated together in the mess hall. At first, they do it mentally, but then they switch to verbal communication. There is some contention over whether or not they should actually go through with whatever they are planning, but they eventually agree to proceed.
In Cargo Bay 2, Seven, now alone, sets up one of the relays for a multi-polar analysis. The computer informs her that the analysis will take 5 hours and 17 minutes to complete. She decides to pass the time by regenerating. She installs herself in her alcove and goes into the cycle.
In the mess hall, the three conspirators, by tapping into the ship's computer through the relay, sense her regeneration. They begin using this access to reroute internal sensors. But, on the bridge, Lt. Commander Tuvok notices the change at his Tactical station when an alarm on his console beeps.
The three conspirators wait at a turbolift as its occupants disembark. When it is empty, they board. As the lift begins to move, the woman mentally has the computer halt it. The older man begins undoing the bolts on a grate in the car's ceiling. On the bridge, Tuvok alerts First Officer Chakotay of a power failure he has detected in the security grid. As the three conspirators make their way through the ventilation shafts and drop down quietly in Cargo Bay 2, Chakotay informs Captain Janeway of the detected security breach.
The conspirators move to Seven's alcove. The man unwraps a cloth, revealing some Borg components. The woman exposes one of her legs, scarred with Borg implants, revealing her to be, like Seven, a former Borg drone. The others are, in fact, former drones as well; they were the drones Seven was marooned with those years prior. The woman removes an implant from her leg, a Borg interlink nodule, and inserts it into the control console of Seven's alcove. The young man begins to worry about possible harm to Seven, but the woman urges him to remember that "if we fail, we'll never become individuals." The young man nods. He plunges his assimilation tubules into Seven's neck.
The older man, looking at the components in his hand, reports successful access of Seven's memory files. But they then note with alarm that Seven has become aware of them and is trying to wake up. Her eyes open and she angrily fights them off. Tuvok, accompanied by two of his security officers, enter with phasers and stun the intruders.
Having removed the salvageable parts from the dead drone, Seven of Nine and the other three survivors have found a use for the organic remains of its body: food. Seven of Nine roasts the remains. The act, however, brings up pre-assimilation memories in her; memories of camping with her father as a child. The other three drones eat. But the act of eating, and the taste of the flesh, serves to bring more pre-assimilation memories to mind. Without the Collective to dam it, the stream of memories begins to grow. They each begin to remember their names, their species, and what they were doing when the Borg attacked and assimilated them. They are Lansor, P'Chan, and Marika Wilkarah. Lansor was eating with a group when he was assimilated, while Wilkarah was a Starfleet officer assimilated on the USS Excalibur. When they study their implants and prosthetics, the full appreciation of their assimilation paralyzes them in horror.
But, unlike Seven of Nine they were all assimilated as adults. The sense of individuality that comes with adulthood is therefore nothing new to them. But to Seven of Nine, who was assimilated as a child and grown up as Borg, and therefore did not have that full experience of individuality before she was assimilated, this sense of individuality is terrifying. Angrily, with fear in her voice, she orders the others to stop their conversation and not to speak until the Collective re-assimilates them.
Lansor's marred body
The three former drones lie in sickbay. Seven and Captain Janeway listen to the condition report from The Doctor. Seven now recognizes them; the older man was Two of Nine, Primary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01; the younger man was Four of Nine, Secondary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01; and the woman was Three of Nine, Auxiliary Processor of Unimatrix 01. The Doctor reports that the removal of their implants was badly botched. This is evident; their bodies are badly marred with scars and Borg implants. Their organs, he continues, were badly damaged by the procedure. He then shows them the reason for their ability to speak to each other mentally: the left parietal lobes of their brains were transformed into interlink nodes, linking them together in a "mini-hive mind." How this was done, he cannot say. Janeway orders him to wake them. She demands of them what they want with Seven.
They explain their situation: they are trapped in this link that holds them together. They discovered it when they were retrieved by, and re-assimilated into, the Collective, and were unable to break it after they escaped. Thus, even though they are no longer Borg, they are unable to be individuals. They dream each other's dreams and constantly hear each other's voices in their heads. The strength of the link is evidenced by their smoothly finishing each other's sentences, as if it were one person speaking. It is maddening, they tell them; they want it to end. Seven, they assert, has, in her memory files, the key to understanding how this link was formed, which could show how to break it. Seven tells them she cannot consciously recall anything relating to this, but she is willing to allow them to access her memory files in the hope of finding out. Janeway agrees and authorizes the procedure.
In Cargo Bay 2, Seven, Lansor, P'Chan and Marika use the Borg data equipment that Seven has to check their memory files. The four each realize the same thing: there is a gap between the time they were gathered round the fire with which they roasted the organic remains of the dead drone and when they were again a part of the Collective. This is greatly frustrating to Lansor, P'Chan and Marika.
Captain Janeway is in her ready room disciplining two of her senior staff: Ensign Thomas Paris and Ensign Harry Kim. The two got into a street brawl on the station. She confines them to quarters with instructions to report to the Sickbay for treatment of their injuries first. When they have gone, Seven enters and reports the gap she and her fellow former drones discovered in their memories. She cannot understand; the Collective would not bother to wipe memories of re-assimilation from the minds of retrieved drones; new drones, yes, to further cement the destruction of their individuality, but not drones that already exist. Nor is there any advantage in linking the minds of three drones together within the hive mind, which is already one giant linkage.
Seven suggests a possible solution: she can link her neural interface with theirs, in effect, joining their group link. Together, they may be able to restore the missing memory data. This is dangerous, however; Seven may become trapped in the link with them. Also, she finds the idea of again being in a group mind very disturbing. But she greatly desires to help her fellows, former drones like herself. Janeway agrees to the procedure.
The Doctor is in Cargo bay 2 with Seven and the other former drones. He is there to monitor the link. But, he warns Seven, he will not be able to do much should anything go awry. She understands this. She enters her alcove. Lansor, P'Chan and Marika each take one of the other three alcoves next to Seven's. They all install themselves and the process begins.
Seven of Nine has left the other drones. The beacon they have set up to contact the Collective has worked; a Borg vessel is on its way. But Seven has detected another drone some distance off in the swamp, severely damaged. She goes to attempt to render assistance. But to no avail; she watches as the drone convulses and, finally, dies.
This greatly heightens her fear. She rushes back to the other drones. But, on arrival, she finds that their individuality has now completely re-asserted itself. They angrily state that they have no intention of rejoining the Collective. Seven, even more frightened now, angrily and fearfully tries to argue, insisting that they are Borg, not individuals, with their primary function being to serve the Collective. But they will not listen. They decide to leave the area, getting away from the beacon and modifying their cortical nodes to avoid the sensors of any drones that come down to look for them. They scatter. Seven looks on fearfully. She appears to come to a decision, and strides after one of them.
She finds Two of Nine. She grabs his neck and plunges her tubules into it. He goes silent and stands quietly. When Seven moves away, he follows. She then finds Four of Nine. She comes up behind him and does the same to him. He becomes like Two of Nine and follows her. Lastly, she finds Three of Nine. As she screams and struggles, Seven plunges in her tubules. She becomes like the others. Seven asks them to state their designations. They do so, with no hint of their individuality. She asks them to state their purpose. To serve the Collective, they respond. Satisfied, she leads them back to the beacon.
Seven awakens to find Lansor, P'Chan and Marika in her face. They are furious now, knowing that she is responsible for linking them together. Overwhelmed, Seven screams for help. Tuvok enters the bay immediately. The three former drone collapse, and The Doctor asks him for help in getting them to Sickbay.
Act Five Edit
In breaking the new link prematurely, the ex-drones have sent themselves into neural shock indefinitely. As Lansor, P'Chan and Marika lie sedated in the Sickbay, The Doctor sadly informs Seven that the old link between them can be broken by removing the micro-cortical implants. These are the implants that she created in them to link them together. But doing so would kill them; they would have a month at most to live. The only other solution would be to return them to the Collective, where they would live, but as drones. The Doctor wants her opinion on what to do. Seven leaves to think about it.
She goes to Chakotay. As he himself was once temporarily linked to a mini-collective of former Borg drones, she considers him the best person to advise her on what to do (VOY: "Unity"). She explains the situation, and tells him about what happened that night. Without any air of judgment, he asks her why she did what she did. She thinks about it, and responds that her extreme fear of dying alone on that planet, cut off from the Collective, which was all she knew, got the better of her. Thus she forcibly linked them together so that they would remain together with her until they were re-assimilated. Her guilt over doing so is evident; because of her action they now have no choice but to re-join the Collective or die within a month. Chakotay tells her that that one month of individuality is much better than a lifetime as a drone. "Which would you choose?" he asks her. This allows her to decide.
She heads back to the Sickbay and tells The Doctor to remove the nodes. The Doctor objects, however. He tells her that it is his duty as a physician to preserve their lives for as long as possible, even if that means returning them to the Collective. He asks her if her decision is really to help them or to alleviate her guilt.
But she responds by using him as an example; once he was confined to the Sickbay, and limited only to the original emergency medical protocols he was first activated with. Thus he was like a drone. Now he can go anywhere and his program has grown to encompass much more than what it used to be. If he had to go back to "being a drone again", she asserts, he would resist. Lansor, P'Chan and Marika have the opportunity to be free, independent individuals, even if it is only briefly. They would choose that over being drones again, as would he, and as would she. The Doctor is moved by the logic of the argument. He agrees to remove the nodes.
Lansor, P'Chan, and Marika, the nodes removed and the link broken, are in the mess hall, looking out the windows. They revel in the newfound silences in their heads, save for each's own mental voice. Seven is standing apart from them quietly.
They decide on what they are going to do with the time they have left. Lansor decides to stay on the station and spend the time meeting new people and doing new things. Before he leaves, he looks at Seven. The memory of what she did shows in a flash of anger on his face, but that is replaced by a look of gratitude. He departs. P'Chan decides to leave for an uninhabited planet a few light years away. He wants to spend his time among nature. He holds no grudge against Seven, telling her his people do not believe in doing such. He wishes her well and leaves. Finally, Marika tells Seven she would like to stay on Voyager for as long as she has left. Unlike Lansor and P'Chan, she does hold a grudge against her. But, she tells her that, though she cannot forgive her, she understands the reason for her action. Seven accepts this.
Voyager has resumed course and is at warp speed. Seven is in astrometrics. Naomi Wildman joins her. She has heard about the events that have occurred and has come to offer Seven some close company. Seven is glad for it.
"Captain's Log, Stardate 53049.2. We've docked at the Markonian outpost and agreed to mutual visits, so I'm allowing shore leave to anyone who wants it. Commander Tuvok has objected to taking on too many visitors, but security issues aside, I'm looking forward to a cultural exchange, and making some new friends."
"Captain's Log, supplemental. Seven of Nine has decided to undergo the procedure that will link her mind with the other drones. Despite the risk involved she feels an obligation to help these distant cousins."
"It's never a good sign when the patient feels the need to comfort the doctor."
- The Doctor, to Seven of Nine
"YOU stay here and be reassimilated, if you want to. I won't."
- Marika Wilkarah, to Seven of Nine
"Doesn't it look like Christmas morning in here, Commander?"
"You have to admit, the generosity of our guests is very impressive."
"As is their proclivity for criminal behavior." (Presents PADD) "This morning's security report."
(Reads) "Broken ODN line, some missing personal items, damaged scanner relay. All in all not that bad."
"There is a second page to the report."
(After reading further) "Well, some of these incidents are a little more serious, but on balance, I still think we did the right thing."
"There is a third page."
- Janeway, Chakotay, and Tuvok, regarding the Markonians' gifts in Janeway's ready room
"We wanted to broaden our understanding of alien cultures and…"
"Skip the recruiting speech. You were looking for a bar."
- Paris and Janeway, who isn't buying his explanation of how he and Kim got arrested after a brawl on the station
- Janeway in reference to a rather large plant
"The biomatter is ready."
"It tastes similar to a bird I once ate…"
- P'Chan and Marika Wilkarah, (as a recent drone) eating the campfire-roasted animal, apparently referencing the old "chicken tastes like everything" joke
"Survival is insufficient."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Eight years ago, I forced them to return to the Collective. I won't make the same mistake again. They deserve to exist as individuals. We must terminate the link between them."
- Seven of Nine explains to the Doctor why it is necessary to terminate the link between Lansor, P'Chan, and Marika Wilkarah, even though it would likely leave them only about a month to live
This episode had the working title "Untitled 7 of 9".
This is the first of two Voyager episodes written by TNG/DS9 writer Ronald D. Moore.
The final draft script for this episode was submitted on 17 June 1999.
Bertila Damas previously played the Vulcan Maquis member Sakonna in DS9: "The Maquis, Part I", "The Maquis, Part II". Vaughn Armstrong also appeared on DS9, playing Danar in "Past Prologue" and Seskal in "When It Rains...", as well as appearing in TNG as Korris in "Heart of Glory" and having several other roles in Voyager, notably Telek R'Mor in "Eye of the Needle". He later played Admiral Maxwell Forrest on Star Trek: Enterprise. Tim Kelleher previously had portrayed Ensign Gaines in TNG: "All Good Things...".
This is the only time in which Seven of Nine is shown having assimilation tubules injected into her neck.
Amongst the visiting aliens from the Markonian outpost in this episode are several Voth from VOY: "Distant Origin".
Marika mentions she served on the USS Excalibur. The Excalibur was the ship commanded by Commander William T. Riker in TNG: "Redemption II", also written by Ronald D. Moore.
The costume worn by the stunt actor portraying Ilon Tandro in DS9: "Dax" is used by a background alien in this episode.
When the three former Borg are in the mess hall and again later in the turbolift, a member of the Evora species can be seen.
Traditionally, Bajoran names have the surname first, personal name second. However, the group refers to the Bajoran, Marika Wilkarah, by her surname, Marika. It was noted in "Ensign Ro" that some Bajorans changed their names to have the surname last in order to better assimilate into non-Bajoran society.
This episode, and in particular, Seven of Nine's statement that "survival is insufficient" is a recurring motif in the novel Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, which won the 2014 Arthur C. Clark Award.

Drones over my property should be fair game for my shotgun. Shotgun pellets don't go that far, so if a drone is hit by a shotgun, ipso facto it had to be flying low enough to be a private nuisance to my property, doesn't it? Surely a disturbing the peace noise problem and an invasion of my expectation of privacy? Ask your lawyer about your state laws!


A project to attract more young people to play golf in North Devon has been awarded a grant of £3,000 from the Millennium Awards for All community grants scheme.
Over the next three years pupils in 24 primary and secondary schools in the area will receive free coaching from a qualified PGA professional. Pupils will also have the opportunity to attend coaching at local golf clubs and play in friendly competitions especially organised for beginners.
The project has been organised by the North Devon Junior Golf Partnership which consists of representatives from Chumleigh Community College, Chumleigh Golf Club, North Devon District Council, the Golf Foundation and the PGA.
The Golf Foundation is the national body dedicated to encouraging young people to play golf and it now has in place a network of Development Officers who are able to give advice on Awards for All applications.

Jeff Goodman: "I was told by one higher-up at ESPN to stand down on the FBI stuff."
College basketball reporter Jeff Goodman left ESPN for a job at Stadium earlier this summer, and he's now opening up about some of what happened during his tenure at the Worldwide Leader. Goodman spoke to The Big Lead's Ryan Glasspiegel on the Glass Half Full podcast, and while their conversation covers a whole lot of college basketball and NBA topics, the most notable part from the media side may be what Goodman said about why he didn't cover the FBI investigation that hit many top college programs.
While ESPN did do some coverage of that, Goodman wasn't involved, and in response to a question from Glasspiegel about why Yahoo led the way on that and why Goodman didn't cover it himself (7:08), Goodman said he was told not to.
That's definitely interesting commentary from Goodman. Of course, it should be noted that that this is more about internal assignments and which reporters get to cover what than ignoring a story entirely (as Goodman noted, Schlabach and Lavigne did do some pieces on this), which would be even more problematic. And the size of ESPN is a big part of this, as Goodman notes; with so many moving pieces, not everyone gets to do what they want or cover what they want.
But it still doesn't seem great to tell one of your top college basketball reporters to ignore one of the biggest college basketball stories out there, and that's certainly not something that would enthuse a lot of reporters. And that speaks to some of what Goodman said earlier in this podcast about why he left ESPN for Stadium. He talked about how ESPN often had him playing a ton of different roles but never used him consistently, and (at around 6:20) how they wanted him to just state facts in video hits, but leave the opining to the former coaches and players.
While Goodman has positive things to say about ESPN as well, and talks about how he enjoyed working there, it does seem like the company wasn't a great fit for him by the end of his tenure. And it sounds like Stadium will be more in line with what he wants to do. We'll see how this move works out for him, but at the least, it seems like as one of a smaller cast of reporters at that network, he should have more latitude in covering what he wants to cover and expressing his opinions where appropriate.

Best Roller Skates
Nicole Johnston
11 January 2021, 3:10 pm ·1-min read
We may no longer have carhops, and roller derbies aren't as popular, but roller skating is still a fun pastime for kids of all ages. And it is a great way to get some exercise. You can skate outside or inside with either quad rollers - skates with four wheels in a square pattern - or with inline skates - those with wheels in a single file. No matter which skates you want, we've got a few ideas to consider.
On a roll: Recommendations for a good pair of skates
The Skate Gear Classic roller skates are a great place to start for beginners, but they are popular among pro skaters, too. These skates have their wheels positioned in a square pattern to give you the best support and balance. The brake pad on the toes helps you stop quickly without toppling over. Made for both men and women, the Skate Gear Classic comes in multiple colors and designs.
For kids, we recommend the Rainbow Unicorn roller skates by Sulifeel. Designed like classic roller derby skates, these have extra strength and support around the ankles. The boots are fastened to a skate plate that adjusts as your child's feet grow, or as they become more balanced and confident in their skating.
If you're ready for something a bit more challenging, try inline skating. This requires a bit more skill and balance because it is similar to ice skating, but on land. The Rollerblades inline skates are the best you can get. The wheels are thicker so you can actually stand upright in the skates. The brake is on the back which gives you a little more control to glide to a stop. Plus it's a good tool for accomplishing some pretty slick tricks.

It felt like the worst possible time to be having a baby. In the weeks leading up to the date for my planned Caesarean section, I watched in horror as the Covid infection rate soared higher and higher. Every new report seemed to bring even worse news: the virus was everywhere now, and London hospitals were struggling to cope with the growing number of coronavirus patients. There was absolutely nothing I could do. My baby was coming this week, whatever the headlines said, and I'd need to be in a London hospital whether I liked it or not. In the days leading up to the delivery, there were a number of worrying "what-ifs". What if I tested positive for Covid beforehand? We couldn't have asked my husband's parents to care for our toddler while we were in hospital. My husband would have had to stay home to do this, and I would have been on my own in hospital, a prospect that filled me with dread. What if I caught the virus while in hospital? What if my new baby caught it? How would I cope looking after a newborn and toddler if I had coronavirus? As any mother will tell you, having a baby in normal times brings with it enough little worries. Going into hospital I felt, quite frankly, terrified. Luckily my obligatory pre-birth Covid test came back negative. (We had played it even safer than usual in the 14 days prior to my C-section). The procedure itself went smoothly and did not take very long, and my baby daughter arrived safely. The medics who delivered her were wearing masks and head coverings, but weren't in full personal protective equipment. During my surgery, the lead obstetrician's mask kept slipping down, leaving his nose uncovered, which was unnerving. Lying there helpless on the bed, all I could do was hope and assume that none of the staff in the room were carrying the virus. I felt fortunate that my husband was allowed to be with me throughout. He could even have stayed overnight on the maternity ward if he'd wanted to, but we decided against that, preferring to minimise his exposure. The ward itself, after all, couldn't be completely Covid-secure. All the new mothers had been tested, and anyone with Covid would be put in a side room, away from the rest of us. But the fathers didn't have to be tested, and although they were asked to keep their masks on the whole time, it was doubtful anyone was wearing one when sitting in their partner's cubicle for hours, eating, drinking and chatting. Although there were sturdy partitions between all the beds, there was only a curtain in front of each one, keeping germs at bay. I wondered how easy it would be for them to spread if a father across the ward was infected. But having a newborn baby doesn't leave you much time to focus on anything else. Once I was on the ward, I devoted most of my attention to the feeding and sleeping patterns of my new daughter. The maternity services felt very separate from what was going on elsewhere in the hospital and I didn't sit there feeling frightened. I only had to share bathrooms with women who'd tested negative. I was discharged after one night – another great mercy – and have now been at home for two days. It's too soon to know if I did catch Covid in hospital, but I'm hugely relieved to have left. Bringing a baby home without the usual visits from family and friends to look forward to does feel a little bit sad. But I think sometimes new mothers feel under pressure to see lots of people in the first few weeks, and to take their baby out and about. In a way it will be nice to have the excuse to just stay home and do nothing while we get to know our new daughter, and help our toddler adjust. In a few weeks' time, I imagine I'll start to feel differently: I will really start to miss the support of other new mums, as well as relatives and friends. This maternity leave will be nothing like my first one. But at least my baby is healthy, safe and back home. For these key things, and the NHS staff responsible, I can only feel grateful.

How to Kayak on the Colorado River
The mighty Colorado River begins flowing from the Rocky Mountains, then makes its way south and west until it reaches the Gulf of California. Years of river erosion have resulted in magnificent stone formations along the shores of the river, seen in a number of the area's national parks. Visitors will find options for lodging and for exploring the Colorado River and its tributaries in these parks, as well as stunning scenery throughout the year.
One of America's most awe-inspiring national parks, Grand Canyon National Park's geologic structures were formed by millions of years of erosion by the Colorado River. The National Park offers two access points to the Grand Canyon: the South Rim and North Rim. The South Rim, in Arizona, is open year-round and welcomes the majority of Grand Canyon visitors to its visitor centers, view points, museums and shuttle bus tour routes. Hikers will find trailheads leading to Grand Canyon exploration from the South Rim, plus daily Ranger-led walks, talks and special activities. The North Rim entrance is 200 miles north by car; it's a more remote access point that's open from late spring through fall months. Vantage points on the North Rim are more than 2,000 feet higher than those of the South Rim.
A fascinating and relatively undisturbed desert landscape awaits those who visit Canyonlands National Park near Moab, Utah. The Colorado River and its tributaries divide the park four areas: The Maze, The Needles, the Island in the Sky and the separate Horseshoe Canyon area. The Island in the Sky is a mesa on 1,000-foot-high sandstone cliffs with a scenic drive, hiking trails and a 12-site area for camping. The Needles District, in the southeast corner of the park, delights visitors with layers of desert color in its tall, narrow sandstone formations. You can hike the district or explore on four-wheel-drive roads. The Colorado River winds through the center of the Canyonlands, offering water sports enthusiasts the chance to canoe, kayak or float through deeply cut canyons.
The Colorado River begins at Rocky Mountain National Park. You can follow the river's flow by traveling the Colorado River Headwaters National Scenic Byway. beginning at State Bridge, just outside of Granby, Colorado. The 75-mile drive rises from 6,500 to 9,000 feet above sea level, passing by lakes, canyons, mountain valleys and ranch lands. Wildlife and valley vegetation, including colorful wildflower displays in the spring, abound in the river area of the park. Recreational activities on the river include canoeing, kayaking and white water rafting. You can also participate in high country stream fishing on the Colorado River with a state fishing license.
Smaller National Parks whose landscapes have been shaped or affected by the Colorado River include Arches National Park and Capitol Reef National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion National Park, all located in Utah. Arches is known for its natural sandstone arches, more here than in any other place in the world. Capitol Reef preserves the 100-mile long Waterpocket Fold -- a monocline, or steeply dipping fold, in the earth's crust. The Fold ends at the Colorado River and is now dammed to form Lake Mead. River erosion helped shape the amphitheaters in Bryce Canyon's sandstone, limestone and mudstone walls. Zion contains the world's largest stone arch, Kolob Arch, and wild plant scenery fed by the Colorado River.

Where Can You Buy Health Pills and Supplements?
Want to Buy Health Pills?
One of the most popular questions we receive here is "Where do I buy health pills?" Short and to the point. Well, we've researched dozens of health supplement providers and have discovered how you can find the highest quality products you can buy.
With so many places to buy health pills online, how do you find the very best?
Used to be, when you wanted to buy natural health supplement you would walk to your corner health store and purchase whatever the store owner recommended.
These days with the ever increasing popularity of the internet, there are literally hundreds of health supplement providers with thousands of different products.
First of all, you need to find a manufacturer you can trust. Since natural supplements are not regulated, many manufacturers are merely marketers hawking miracle products that either don't contain the ingredients they claim to or don't offer any health benefits whatsoever. Look over their web site for company information, product information, manufacturing procedures, etc. If the company cannot provide this information, do not buy their products.
Make sure the company follows strict GMP compliance. These are the highest manufacturing standards in the world, the same standards that the pharmaceutical companies must adhere to.
The products should be formulated by a highly-credentialed scientific team. In order for the product to offer the maximum health benefits, all of the ingredients have to be perfectly blended. This is something only a well-trained formulator can accomplish.
All of the product's ingredients should come with a Certificate of Analysis (COA). This guarantees the potency and safety of the ingredients.
We have found a place to buy health supplements that satisfies all of the requirements we mention above.
The company is called Xtend-Life, and they feature very high quality products with all natural ingredients: vitamins, minerals, amino acids and herbal extracts to promote overall health as well as boost energy, prevent premature aging, ward off disease and illness among other therapeutic benefits.
If you are looking to find the highest quality supplements Xtend-Life is definitely the place to go. They also offer great customer service and will answer any questions you may have.
As with all health supplements, please be sure to consult your physician or other qualified medical professional before you buy health pills, buy natural health supplement or any other products.

The Worcester Chambers, recently also known as Gough Chambers, is a heritage building in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was designed by Cecil Wood in 1926 and is designated as a Category II heritage building registered by Heritage New Zealand. Located at 69 Worcester Street in Central Christchurch, it was originally the site of a secretarial school called Digby's Commercial College.

2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes
As a result of earthquake strengthening in 2007 it withstood the Canterbury earthquakes in 2010 and 2011.

Owners
In September 2015, the building was bought for NZ$2.3m by members of the Gough family: prominent businessman Tracy Gough and two of this children, including Christchurch City Councillor Jamie Gough. The new owners renamed the building Gough Chambers. Although they dropped the rent, they were unable to find tenants and sold the building in late 2016 for NZ$2.18m to lawyer Gerard McCoy and his wife Siu-Wai McCoy.

When was the last time you saw something truly game-changing in farming? Envita™ Nitrogen Fixing bacteria is about to change all of that.
Envita is a nitrogen fixing solution that fundamentally changes the nitrogen equation on your farm. Applied on seed or in-furrow, Envita enables every cell in the plant to fix its own nitrogen. Air is 78% nitrogen and Envita bacteria naturally metabolizes N directly from the air, allowing you to reduce your N fertility program and hit your yield goals OR maintain your N fertility program and shoot for even higher yields. You decide!
Replaces 25 to 50% of the plant's nitrogen needs.
Increases yield on average between 5-13%, and in some cases up to 20%.
Depending on corn prices and your local yield potential, Envita™ can pay for itself with as low as 1% increase in yield.
Similar results were seen in soybeans as Envita™ works throughout the plant and not just in the root system where the natural nitrogen-fixing ability of soybeans exist.
Ready to try our n-fixing solution for yourself? Register for Envita today.
Envita™ is one of most exciting innovations in agriculture within our generation. We will transform the way the world grows food by raising crop yield potential and reducing reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. Until now, farmers had choose to either focus on higher yield or pursue more environmentally friendly farm practices. Now farmers can have both – a solution without compromise.
By 2050, global population numbers are estimated to skyrocket to almost 10 billion, making elevated food production a formidable challenge. Beyond the issue of available land and resources, the problem of increased energy use and expensive growing techniques will continue to be a challenge for growers of all types.
Extreme weather and drought are becoming more common around the world. No longer can we take for granted limited access to clean water. Farm practices need to evolve to optimize water use and keep water sources clean.
The global population is growing and the arable land base is not. This makes it critical to maximize yields on every acre of land while keeping the soil, air, and water around it clean and productive.
Envita allows farms to decrease their reliance on synthetic nitrogen while maximizing yield. At Azotic North America, we're working to change the face of agriculture for the better.
As pioneers in agricultural science, Azotic North America has applied more than 20 years of research into the development of Envita™, a patented nitrogen-fixing bacteria that promises to change the face of crop production. Our focus is to take crop yield potential to the next level while delivering through environmentally friendly practices. Our team includes skilled biotech scientists; all using world-class research and proven experimentation techniques.
Revolutionizing farming practices across the country and around the world, Envita™ allows growers to take their yield potential to the next level with the option to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizers applied to fields. Developed by world-renowned scientist Edward (Ted) Cocking FRS, Envita™ draws naturally-occurring nitrogen from the surrounding air, ultimately allowing practically any crop to fix its own nitrogen to boost yield, saving money on excess fertilizer while promoting eco-friendly growing practices.
Learn more about our 2018 Envita™ commercial field trials, news and information through our updates page.

Taxpayers should avoid these common mistakes when they file their tax return
by sreamercpa | Jan 24, 2023 | IRS, maryland-taxes, reisterstown-md-cpa
Most of the common errors taxpayers make on their tax returns are easily avoidable. By carefully reviewing their return, taxpayers can save time and effort by not having to correct it later. Filing electronically also helps prevent mistakes. Tax software does the math, flags common errors and prompts taxpayers for missing information. It can also help taxpayers claim valuable credits and deductions. Taxpayers who qualify may use IRS Free File to file their return electronically for free.
Here are some of the mistakes to avoid:
Filing too early. While taxpayers should not file late, they also should not file prematurely. They should wait to file until they're certain they've received all their tax reporting documents, or they risk making a mistake that may lead to a processing delay.
Missing or inaccurate Social Security numbers. Each SSN on a tax return should appear exactly as printed on the Social Security card.
Misspelled names. The names of all taxpayers and dependents listed on the return should match the names on their Social Security cards.
Inaccurate information. Taxpayers should carefully enter any wages, dividends, bank interest and other income they received to make sure they report the correct amounts. This includes any information taxpayers need to calculate credits and deductions.
Incorrect filing status. Some taxpayers choose the wrong filing status. Publication 501 has detailed information about filing statuses.
Math mistakes. Math errors are some of the most common mistakes. They range from simple addition and subtraction to more complex calculations. Taxpayers should always double check their math. Better yet, tax prep software will check it automatically.
Figuring credits or deductions. Taxpayers can make mistakes figuring things like their earned income tax credit, child and dependent care credit and child tax credit. Tax software will calculate these credits and deductions and include any required forms and schedules.
Incorrect bank account numbers. Taxpayers who are due a refund should choose direct deposit. This is the fastest way for them to get their money. However, taxpayers need to make sure they use the correct routing and account numbers on their tax return.
Unsigned forms. An unsigned tax return isn't valid. In most cases, both spouses must sign a joint return. Exceptions may apply for members of the armed forces or other taxpayers who have a valid power of attorney.
Disreputable tax preparers. Taxpayers should remember they, not the tax preparer, are responsible for the information on their tax return. The IRS has resources to help taxpayers find someone to prepare their tax return. Some taxpayers may even be able to get free help from IRS-certified volunteers. Certified public accountants, enrolled agents or other tax professionals can also help taxpayers avoid errors.
Year End Taxpayer Checklist
by sreamercpa | Dec 20, 2022 | accounting-tax, IRS, maryland-taxes, tax-planning
Here's a short checklist to help taxpayers choose a tax preparer for the upcoming filing season
Tax filing season will be here soon. As people begin to gather their documents and receipts in preparation of filing a tax return, many are also choosing to use a professional tax return preparer. Anyone with an IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number can be a paid tax return preparer. However, tax return preparers have differing levels of skills, education and expertise. Choosing a tax return preparer wisely is important because taxpayers are ultimately responsible for all the information on their return, no matter who prepares it for them.
Taxpayers can start their search with the IRS Directory of Preparers
When looking for a tax professional, taxpayers can search the IRS Directory of Preparers. While it is not a complete listing of tax return preparers, it does include those who are enrolled agents, CPAs and attorneys, as well as those who participate in the Annual Filing Season Program.
Before hiring a preparer, taxpayers should make sure they know what they're getting. They can do this by:
Checking the preparer's history with the Better Business Bureau. Taxpayers can also verify an enrolled agent's status on IRS.gov.
Asking about fees. Taxpayers should avoid tax return preparers who base their fees on a percentage of the refund or who offer to deposit all or part of their refund into their financial accounts. Taxpayers should be suspicious of any preparer claiming they can get larger refunds than other tax preparers.
Asking if the preparer plans to use e-file. The fastest way to get a tax refund is by e-filing and choosing direct deposit.
Making sure the preparer will be available if needed. People should consider whether the individual or firm will be around for months or years after filing the return. It's possible they'll need the preparer to answer questions about the preparation of the tax return later.
Ensuring the preparer signs and includes their PTIN. Paid tax return preparers must have a PTIN to prepare tax returns and must include it on any tax return they prepare.
Considering the person's credentials. Only attorneys, CPAs and enrolled agents can represent taxpayers before the IRS in tax matters. Other tax return preparers who participate in the IRS Annual Filing Season Program have limited practice rights to represent taxpayers during audits of returns they prepared.

Late Breaking Tax Update
by sreamercpa | Jan 19, 2022 | maryland-taxes
Marylanders now have until July 15, 2022, to file and pay 2021 state individual income taxes, Comptroller Peter Franchot announced Wednesday.
Comptroller Franchot said the extended deadline is meant to assist taxpayers facing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The extension waives penalties and interest on outstanding liabilities.
"Many people are still struggling to stay above water, so giving taxpayers more time to file and pay will hopefully ease their financial pressure," Franchot said in a statement. "As we approach the two-year mark of the onset of COVID-19, my agency remains as committed as ever to helping Marylanders who still are feeling the pandemic's impact."
The Internal Revenue Service, which already has warned of processing delays for the 2022 tax season due to COVID-19, has not indicated any plans to extend the federal income tax filing and payment deadline beyond April 18.

Okay, so in the midst of my Seth Godification (I think I've read 4 or 5 of his books this week), I've realized that if I want to really get where I want to get and be who I want to be, I can't wait for someone to swing by with the big Ed McMahon-Sized check and a job offer to be a web strategist. Â I gotta be it and just do it.
So I am going to kick-start off a series of posts (I hope — blogs are the refuge of the "good idea without follow-through" crowd sometimes) where I take a project, program, site, business or model and say what I would do with it. Â Is this back-seat strategizing? Yes. But the point is that the best solutions don't come from one source (i.e. "Let's sprinkle a little Web 2.0 dust on it!" or "Let's make it open source!"), but from a system change. One change works because it is supposed by other changes.
My first one is something I've been thinking about a lot recently: alumni travel, which is actually a bit more interesting that it's title suggests.


OnePlus recently announced that the company will offer Globally OnePlus 6T during an event held in New York on October 30. At the same time, the company has decided to launch this device a day or so on October 29. Behind the change in this launch date, the company is telling Apple to be the launch event.
The company says that on the same day, Apple's event is being held in New York and she does not want to have any impact on its event, so the company has decided to hold the Global Launch event a day before.
Explain that the launch of OnePlus 6T in India will be on October 30. This month, OnePlus had announced the launch of OnePlus 6T's launch event on October 30 in Delhi and New York.

Q: MVC routing doesn't pickup querystring in my Global.ascx.cs, I have this setting for the routing:
routes.MapRoute(
"HomeTarget",
"{TargetCode}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", TargetCode = "" });

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default",                                              // Route name

    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }  // Parameter defaults

In my HomeController, I have an Index() action like this:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
    public ActionResult Index(string TargetCode)
    {
        return View();
    }

When I go to the site, for example, mysite.com/Test1, I suppose it should take "Test1" as the TargetCode, but it didn't... What should I do for it to pickup the "Test1" as TargetCode, I don't want to do this: mysite.com/?TargetCode=Test1
Thank you very much,
Kenny.

A: Seems like something's acting up on VS 2008 or with the framework. It's working nicely now. Thanks for looking.

Hey you! Get over it!
Catchy. Good hook. And we need a song like this. Terrific vocals, especially like the harmonies in the chorus. Thumpy bass drives the song right along. Nice guitar work, good mix of tones.
i've used this chord prog a couple times before, but i figure it's okay to rip off yourself. thanks for the review!
that pic goes perfect with the song. Very entertaining.
thanks vic! i've been trying to craft some more upbeat songs lately. i'm happy this makes you... happy!
Awesome solo man. Builds and ends the song perfectly. I always love the tone of your guitar solos too.
This is a supremely catchy number.
I knew I was gonna like it the second I saw the image.
Forgot to compliment you on the intergalactic guitar solo!
Tough day on the Deathstar, eh?! (re: art.) Everything is in full-force here. That drum presence in the mix hits the spot. The chorus is hooky with deadly force. Your voice is full of power in that register. That great lead guitar playing is classic.Nice bass harmony notes -- and yeah, everyhting's audible, so the mastering's great, too. What a great tune to shake anyone (or at least any guy!) out of the navel-gazing doldrums. In a word: jubilant.
How much do I like this? I actually rated this song -- something I do at best 1 in 200 songs. And I gave you all 10s. Exceptional. To be critical: Is it really "groundbreaking" on the "originality/creativity" scale? Damned if I know. But I know what I like.
I really like this one - very Green Day. Probably a little hot in the mix department for me though, although it suits the genre I guess. Top solo and vocals.
Bouncy fun. This has a very Rivers Cuomo feel. You both rock the socks off the jocks. The last line in each verse is has a really loose, unexpected melody. Love that.
Since I've known you, you've gotten funnier and funnier and funnier!
I'd have an easier time breathing if I were hit by a speeding Greyhound loaded with the next set of candidates for America's Biggest Losers!!
I can't take credit for the "I had friends on that Deathstar". I've seen that pic before with that as the caption. So whoever wrote that caption initially is actually getting funnier and funnier and funnier and should look out for that bus. BUT I am getting better looking. That's ALL me.
First off, that's a killer photo. I want to print that and hang it over my desk. IMO this is the coolest thing i've heard from you this year. Great drums, killer guitar solo, great OOH-OOHs and great concept. DL'd for sure dude GREAT tune.
Nice! I like this song a lot. It has a nice melody, cool lyrics nice vocals and cool guitars. Thanks for sharing this one.
.. this is great. Love that bouncy beat and your fey indie boy vocal in the verses just rocks. Top guitar work too and the bridge just catches the right moment.
love this. wish it were longer...love the stonesesque hoo hoo. more.
This sounds great Ridd. Love the picture too.

Autopsy reveals cause of death in Mollie Tibbetts case
By Crimesider Staff CBS/AP August 23, 2018, 4:25 PM Mollie Tibbetts died from "multiple sharp force injuries," autopsy finds
BROOKLYN, Iowa — A 20-year-old Iowa student found slain after vanishing last month while on a jog died of "multiple sharp force injuries," according to preliminary autopsy results. The Iowa State Medical Examiner, which conducted an autopsy on Mollie Tibbetts on Wednesday, concluded her manner of death was homicide. It said further examination could result in additional findings.
The autopsy also officially confirms that the body found in a rural Iowa cornfield this week is Tibbetts. Other details from the autopsy are confidential under Iowa law, according to a press release from the Iowa Division Of Criminal Investigation. The agency did not release additional details about the injuries she suffered or what caused them. Investigators have made no mention of recovering a murder weapon.
Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, is charged in the death of Mollie Tibbetts (R).
Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 24, is charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts' death. State investigators said they questioned Rivera after his car was seen on surveillance video following Tibbetts on July 18, the day she vanished. An affidavit said Rivera on Tuesday led investigators to her body, covered in corn stalks.
Tibbetts' disappearance set off a massive search involving state and federal authorities.
Rivera, a Mexican national, had been living in the country illegally for four to seven years, investigators said. Rivera worked at a nearby dairy farm, owned by the family of local Republican leader Craig Lang. In a statement, the farm said Rivera passed a government screening that made him eligible to work.
His employer, Yarrabee Farms manager Dane Lang, said the 24-year-old worked under a different name and presented an out-of-state government-issued photo identification and a matching Social Security card when he was hired in 2014.
Within hours of her body being found, President Trump noted the arrest at a rally in West Virginia and said the death "should've never happened."
Rivera was ordered held on $5 million cash bond Wednesday. If convicted, Rivera faces life in prison without parole.
His attorney, Allan Richards, said Thursday that the public should give his client his day in court and not prejudge the case. He also said Rivera was in the country legally and had arrived in the U.S. as a minor.
"Let's let the process go," he said. "The process is about truth-finding in a rational, peaceful and efficient manner. We're only at the very preliminary stages of this matter."
In a statement released Wednesday, Tibbetts' family said, "Our hearts are broken."
"On behalf of Mollie's entire family, we thank all of those from around the world who have sent their thoughts and prayers for our girl," the statement said. "We know that many of you will join us as we continue to carry Mollie in our hearts forever."

Cargo Bike Cooperative
A local individual is interested in establishing a cargo bike cooperative, similar to the one they have in Vienna (see below). Let us know if you're interested in participating and we'll put you in touch with each other.
"In the beginning, the LRK bike pool was composed of just a few cargo bikes. After three years, it has grown to a total of 20 cargo bikes and trailers. Any kind of transport can be handled in a variety of ways. Two-wheeled and three-wheeled bikes as well as different types of trailers for all types of transport are available. The locations of the bikes and trailers are distributed as evenly as possible across the entire municipal territory. Some vehicles of the pool were built very creatively at the Vienna Bikekitchen and WUK by transforming old bicycles into new cargo bikes. In this way, the LRK vehicle pool also embodies do-it-yourself (DIY) and bicycle-recycling strategies."
Canada Missing Out on Clean Energy
A newly published report says that Canada is missing out on trade and growth opportunities by devoting so few resources to renewable energy.

Andrzej Sapkowski (Łódź; 21 de junio de 1948) es un escritor polaco de fantasía heroica. Sus obras están fuertemente influenciadas por la cultura y mitología eslavas, así como por las narraciones tradicionales. Su estilo de escritura es fluido y directo adaptando el lenguaje popular de la Polonia actual.

Entre sus obras más populares se encuentra la saga del brujo Geralt de Rivia, compuesta por siete volúmenes. Su primera historia, El Brujo ("Wiedźmin" en polaco), fue publicada en la revista Fantastyka en 1986, consiguiendo un gran éxito ante el público y la crítica, y constituyendo el inicio de la saga de Geralt. Estas novelas le convirtieron en el autor polaco de mayor número de ventas en los años 1990. La saga de Geralt ha sido llevada al cine (Wiedźmin, dirigida por Marek Brodzki, en 2001), a la televisión, aunque con poco éxito; al mundo de los videojuegos (The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt) con un gran éxito de crítica, ventas y afición, ganando así, el GOTY en 2015. Recientemente llegó a la gran plataforma de streaming Netflix, con The Witcher donde su popularidad no ha hecho más que crecer desde su estreno.

Sapkowski ha ganado cinco premios Zajdel por sus historias cortas: El mal menor (Mniejsze zło) (1990), La espada del destino (Miecz przeznaczenia) (1992) y las novelas W leju po bombie (1993), La sangre de los elfos (Krew elfów) (1994) y Narrenturm (2002). Esta última constituye el inicio de una serie de novelas de fantasía heroica ambientada en las Guerras Husitas del siglo XV.

Q: WireShark: How do i use "Apply as filter"? i'm seeing some packets in WireShark that i don't want to see:

No problem, right-click on SSDP and click

*

*Apply as Filter

*

*...and not Selected

Except i've never been able to get the Appy as Filter menu to accomplish anything:

Except there's nothing to expand, and i've never been able to select any item that doesn't show that error.
So how do i use "Apply as Filter"?

A: Instead of doing it at that level use the window below, where the detail of the packet is.  Open the level that corresponds to the level you want to apply, SSDP is part of the HTTP session, so you'll want to open the HTTP portion at the bottom.  Look for the SSDP reference there, then right-click and choose "Not Selected".
Use "and" or "or" options for adding to the filter.  You can see the filter contructed int the Filter bar at the top to make sure it is doing what you expect (and you can add parenthesis if it isn't doing the logic right).

A: From what I've seen the context menu isn't valid for the protocol column. Right clicking on other columns such as Source, Destination, Length, etc will give the expected result. In troubleshooting, you may want to use the "Prepare as Filter", which will add the filter text to the dialog above but not apply it immediately.  That way you can review what wireshark thinks you're trying to accomplish.
