Climate Sentinels
Four women explore science in the high arctic
Shared Visions
The language of pattern
The Big Weekend
By Tim Johnson
On the dawn of a new polar spring, four women will set off across a chaos of ice and black volcanic rock, covering hundreds of miles on skis. Their pursuit is science and a desire to show a new generation of young scientists how to gather data in one of the harshest—and yet most sensitive—environments on earth.
They call themselves the Climate Sentinels.
Three are glaciologists with degrees in snow science and long familiarity with winter climes. The fourth understands spectral…
In Edison, i.e. gallery presents yet another cutting-edge exhibit with "The Language of Pattern." Works by five distinguished artists seduce the viewer with patterns from folk art and nature.
Once again we find Allen Moe patiently exploring the "margin between order and chaos, searching for pattern that holds it all together." His small works create surprising effects as he painstakingly drips minute amounts of paint onto a surface. Each new drop pushes the still-wet, previous…
"You should never pick a wine because of its label" was one of the first things Ted Seifert told me and my friend Amber when we stopped by Seifert & Jones Wine Merchants on a recent afternoon for the Prospect Street store's weekly Saturday wine tasting.
When I informed Amber the company known for supporting smaller wine importers and distributors was hosting a free blind taste testing during her visit to Bellingham, she was intrigued.
When we arrived, Seifert—who opened the vino…
The sketchiest part of Patrick McGinty's bicycle trip across America last spring took place between New Mexico and Texas when, after making it 120 miles through three sandstorms and reaching speeds up to 50 miles per hour on his fully loaded touring bike, he was blown off his trusty two-wheeler by a strong crosswind gust.
This will likely be one of the many tales McGinty will share during the City of Bellingham's first Travelogue presentation of the year Thurs., Jan. 16 at Whatcom…

Ironically, the production of the play showing Sun., Jan. 19 at the Mount Baker Theatre was itself inspired by the 1951 Academy Award-winning American film of the same name starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron, bringing the tale set in post-World War II Paris full circle.…

Like anything else, Bellingham's music scene changes over time. Some of this has to do with musical preferences shifting between styles and genres. Some of it is the normal ebb and flow of things, the wax and wane that happens on a long enough timeline. Some of it can be attributed to simple evolution.
A cynic would say that the more things change, the more they stay the same, but I don't share that viewpoint. I tend to believe that there are new things under the sun, as well as…

F1: 'Sebastian Vettel only needs one good race - it's just a phase', says Nico Rosberg
Mercedes are ready for a fight in China and George Russell looks forward to Shanghai debut
F1 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg talks with Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel

Rosberg backs Vettel
Ex-Formula 1 driver Nico Rosberg believes that it will only take "one good race" for Ferrari star Sebastian Vettel to get back into a "positive spiral".
F1 Chinese GP: Bottas on pole, qualifying reactions, 1,000th race start time, predictions, betting odds, TV guide
Vettel is without a victory in nearly eight months and is currently fifth in the 2019 standings after finishing fourth in Australia and fifth in Bahrain. He's also under pressure following the emergence of Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc as a contender at the front of the grid.
Despite Vettel's struggles 2016 F1 world champion Rosberg says the four-time title winner has the ability to bounce back - maybe this weekend at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.
Former Mercedes driver Rosberg told Press Association Sport: "It is just a phase that Sebastian is going through. It is one that all sportspersons have to deal with where things don't always go to plan.
"You need to find your way out of that phase, and Sebastian is a four-time world champion, so I am sure he will be able to manage that.
"He needs to get into a positive spiral again, and all it takes in Formula 1 is just one good race, so if he wins in China, then off he'll go."
Wolff is up for a fight
Reigning champions Mercedes head to China top of the 2019 constructors' standings following victories for Valtteri Bottas in Australia and Lewis Hamilton in Bahrain.
Despite their 39-point lead over Ferrari, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff does not think the current standings tell the full story of the season so far.
"Two races into the 2019 season, it may seem like we're in a strong position," said Wolff. "We have 87 points, just one below the maximum score. But the constructors' standings do not tell the full story.
"The truth is that we weren't as quick as our direct competitors throughout qualifying and the race in Bahrain. The Ferrari was considerably faster on the straights.
"Nevertheless, the saying goes that 'in order to finish first, first you have to finish' and the combination of solid performances from the team, reliability of our systems and a strong drive from our drivers secured us the one-two."
Wolff says that the Mercedes team and drivers Hamilton and Bottas are ready to fight for the points at this weekend's Chinese GP - F1's 1,000th race.
"The challenge we are facing doesn't daunt us - it's uplifting," he added. "We've seen exciting races so far this season and we're looking forward to the next fight in Shanghai."
Russell ready for China debut
F1 may be celebrating a milestone in Shanghai but for George Russell Sunday's race will be the first time he has driven in the Chinese Grand Prix.
The 21-year-old Williams driver said: "I am really looking forward to China as it is a circuit I have never raced at before. It is always a great experience driving on a new track.
"It is the 1,000th grand prix for Formula 1 so it is great to be one of the 20 drivers that are a part of that. There is so much history in the sport and this will be a historic race, so I am extremely proud to be lining up on the grid in Shanghai."

Some series do not show up in "My List"
Some series like Family guy do not show up in "My list" even though I have not seen the episode.
They show up in "airing next" but then disappears.
It is showing up like season 4 has started & as far as I know it hasn't! Also the episode titles are showing up in Spanish!
Thanks so much for fixing Degrassi: Next Class like I asked yesterday. There are, however, two more problems. It now says "DELETED! Try to use search" instead of "Degrassi: Next Class", and season 3 is missing episodes 7, 8, 9, and 10. Thanks so much! On a similar note, Awkward (the MTV tv show) officially ended, yet still appears on the shows that I'm still watching on my tv lists.
also fixed Awkward by deleting an extra episode, it should be completed now, if not, try marking it as completed again, should work.
you've said that you import your movies from tmdb but Hedwig and the Angry Inch (https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/13403-hedwig-and-the-angry-inch) and When Harry Met Sally (https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/13403-hedwig-and-the-angry-inch) don't show up in the search.

(Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Monday allowed a research center affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University to keep patents potentially worth billions of dollars on a groundbreaking gene editing technology known as CRISPR.
Shares of Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Editas Medicine Inc, a biotechnology company that licenses Harvard and MIT's CRISPR-related patents, rose nearly 7 percent after the ruling before giving back most of those gains and was up 1 percent at $30.56.
Charles Robinson, an in-house lawyer at the University of California, said the institution was evaluating further litigation options. Robinson also said the university has "dominant" patent applications covering the use of CRISPR.
A team at Harvard and MIT's Broad Institute applied for a patent months later, opting for a fast-track review process. It became the first to obtain a CRISPR patent in 2014, and has since obtained additional patents.
Monday's decision affirmed a February 2017 ruling by the patent court siding with Broad.


Attaboy, Hazelwood, Missouri. Thanks so much for driving the enterprising spirit out of kids at exactly the one moment in our history when we could use it the most.
ABIGAIL It's like a learning experience. I don't think It's the best thing. I think It's just ridiculous what they're doing to us. It's not like we're even keeping the money. It's a fund-raiser. But I thought if we sat by, they would continue picking on us and shut down all the stands operated by little girls and little boys selling lemonade.

CMB2 Attached Posts Field
==================

Custom field for [CMB2](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2).

The post IDs are saved in an array, which can be rearranged by dragging and dropping posts in the attached posts column.

If the ability to search for a post and attach it is more in line with what you need, you might consider [CMB2 Post Search field](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2-Post-Search-field) instead.

## Installation

Follow the example in `example-field-setup.php` for a demonstration. The example assumes you have both CMB2 and this extension in your mu-plugins directory. If you're using CMB2 installed as a plugin, remove [line 6 of the example](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/cmb2-attached-posts/blob/master/example-field-setup.php#L6).

## Customization
In the example file `example-field-setup.php`, the field is added using the prefix `_attached_cmb2_` and the name `attached_posts` which results in a meta key of `_attached_cmb2_attached_posts`. The example also demonstrates how to modify the `get_posts` query args.

## Usage
You can retrieve the meta data using the following:

```php
$attached = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_attached_cmb2_attached_posts', true );
```

This will return an array of attached post IDs. You can loop through those post IDs like the following example:

```php
foreach ( $attached as $attached_post ) {
	$post = get_post( $attached_post );
}
```

Once you have the post data for the post ID, you can proceed with the desired functionality relating to each attached post.

Otto's mining move riles Rangers
Briana Bierschbach December 4, 2013
Otto shook up both her role as state auditor and her campaign for re-election last month when she cast the lone "no" vote as the state's Executive Council took up 31 exploratory nonferrous mining leases in northeastern Minnesota. The leases went ahead anyway, but in voting against them, Otto became the first statewide elected official to express concern about the state's move toward the new process of nonferrous mining
First committee deadline scuttles many measures
Briana Bierschbach March 20, 2013
For many lobbyists, working the Legislature is as much about the bills they are able to stop as the bills they are able to pass. That's why Friday's final deadline for policy measures to pass through committees in both chambers will be cause for either celebration or relief for Minnesota's Capitol lobbying corps.

Beyond the budget 2013
The path through any budget session leads to a negotiating table at which the governor and legislative leaders work out the most politically palatable taxing and spending deal they can muster. But the budget is never the only game in town. Before the session endgame gets played out, a network of committees will play host to various and sundry dramas involving policy issues before state government.

Q: Why shouldn't I call multiple services in a Controller class? I've just read the articles below
here: What is the best approach to use multiple services inside a resource controller?
and here: Can I have multiple services in a Controller class - Spring MVC?
the article said that I shouldn't call multiple services in a Controller class. I should encapsulate all services in a Facade class (Facade pattern).
So Why shouldn't I call multiple services in a Controller class?
And Can I call multiple service in a Service class? Is it correct?

A: Technically there is nothing that prevents you from calling multiple services from your controller, but it is probably a bad design decision, mainly due to the Single Responsibility Principle. Roughly this dictates that classes should have a single responsibility and reason to change, controllers are the interface of your application and should focus on being only that. Any class that needs to import multiple services probably contain some business logic and that code is probably better placed in separate business layer classes than the controller class.
If you only use a single service in each metod of your controller maybe you should split the controller into smaller controllers that each use the service that is relevant for each of them.

A: Traditionally, when we talk about MVC pattern, the job of the controller is to take care of the Business Logic. However, when we actually implement it, the controller may end up with some validation routine calls, setting model attributes and view (not required in Rest controller) etc. The design pattern to have Service layer and persistence layer evolved from the same need to separate all this logic from presentation layer. So, accordingly, all the business logic shall go in Service layer and persistence logic in persistence layer.
Calls to multiple services in Controller is definitely acceptable but then there are aspects like

*

*Reusability: If you encapsulate the logic of multiple service calls using Facade pattern at service layer, you increase the chance of reusing that code somewhere else. With all the logic in Controller method, you can't reuse it.

*Transactions: When you have transactions, to mark the transaction boundaries, it makes more sense to encapsulate the logic at service layer, and mark the method as @Transactional. You can certainly manage Transaction from Controller using annotation but then to handle scenarios like you want to rollback the transaction but at the same time Save the error data, you will have to manage it programmatically.

The greatest exponent of the so-called humanist current of street photography, a lover of stolen shoots, Robert Doisneau was fascinated by emotions, from the small moments of life of a city in turmoil, as the twentieth-century Paris was; on the streets, people meet with inattention, as well as their stories did, drawing a puzzle of feelings that together contribute to define the profile of the city itself.
Graduated engraver lithographer at the Etienne school, he decided to leave that path to throw himself into the living and the harsh reality of the suburbs, a dimension that no one considered at the time. He started collaborating in 1946 with the Rapho Photo Agency, a collaboration that will last for almost fifty years, driven by the desire to donate the right dignity and the right value to photography, he concerned himself primarily with subjects that did not interest anyone else and that they had not have commercial value.
Doisneau does not tell of a conventional city, like the one shown in the world of advertising, fashion, newspapers or movies but a Paris of little people, of the art of the accordion, of adults and children, whose eyes exude humanity and tenderness. Paris is a city in constant motion, which Doisneau photographs in many ways, a city shaken by the ideas of great artists such as Prévert, Cendrars and Picasso, with whom he holds a friendship that will further enhance its great sensitivity, both as a man and as an artist.

@State var movetoNextScreen: Int? = nil

NavigationLink(destination: WaterTemprature(), tag: 1,
               selection: $movetoNextScreen) {
    ZStack {
        Text("Next")
            .font(.system(size: 12, weight: .semibold))
            .frame(alignment: .center)

        Button(action: nextBtnPressed) {
            if !check_minute_and_seconds_are_empty() {
//                        move to next screen.
                movetoNextScreen = 1

            }

        }.opacity(0)

    }
}

But when I pressed the navigation link, Button action did not call and control move to next screen. So I want to find any method that can first check the textfields and then move to next view.

A: Try in opposite direction - put button in front (with needed redesign) and place link in background with programmatic activation, like
    Button(action:  {
        if !check_minute_and_seconds_are_empty() {
            movetoNextScreen = 1       // << activate link
        }
    }) {
      Text("Next")
        .font(.system(size: 12, weight: .semibold))
        .frame(alignment: .center)
    }
    .background(
       NavigationLink(destination: WaterTemprature(), tag: 1,
          selection: $movetoNextScreen) { EmptyView() }
    )


Bishop Gregory V. Palmer (Ohio West Area) moved for the Council of Bishops to issue a pastoral letter opposing racism after the police custody death of Freddie Gray sparked riots in Baltimore.
The Council of Bishops issued a pastoral letter on racism to the 12.8 million people of The United Methodist Church worldwide affirming the sacredness of all lives and renewing their commitment to work for an anti-racist, pro-humanity church. The action came at the end of the Council's week-long meeting in Berlin after prayerful reflection and discussion about the topic. Earlier in the week, President of the Council Bishop Warner H. Brown Jr. had also issued a letter calling for prayer and healing.
"Racism and xenophobia ... deny the profound theological truth that we are made in the image of God with the hand print of love and equality divinely implanted in every soul." – Council of Bishops Pastoral Letter.

I am continuing with the Introspective Yoga series, so we are going to talk more yoga philosophy. If you want to read previous blogs from the series, start here.
Today we're looking at svadhyaya, or self-study. Svadhyaya can also refer to study of scriptures, if you pick up a text like the Yoga Sutras and try to understand yourself through it, that's also svadhyaya. This whole Introspective Yoga series is my way of practicing svadhyaya.
One of the most powerful things you can do, is to know yourself. As in, deeply reflect on your true essence and harness its power.
Sometimes, it's easy to study ourselves. You think, I am (insert your name). You may identify with a few stories about you who are. You may decide your likes/dislikes. You may decide your relationships with people around you.
All those things are valid and so important. Examining them helps us live better.
You can find clarity around what you already knew. Declaring how you really feel in words can feel so powerful, even if you already knew it. In this way, you can honor your own journey in life.
You can shift the things that need to be shifted. Sometimes when we journal, our struggles show up. Then we look at them, and go, "Gee is this really how it's been?" If there's something that needs to be shifted, you can't deny it when it's right in front of you, in your own words and understanding.
You can be creative. You can write down ideas and let them be free. And if it's something you really desire, you can work on manifesting it.
If you can know yourself, you can be unstoppable. I know for me personally, being self-aware and practicing svadhyaya has helped me to find the courage to live my best life. It's especially helpful for when I'm enduring the many trials and tribulations of human life: doubt, fear, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, betrayal, etc.
"Sva means self and adhyaya means study or education. Education is the drawing out of the best that is within a person. Svadhyaya, therefore, is the education of the self.
Svadhyaya is different from mere instruction like attending a lecture where the lecturer parades his own learning before the ignorance of his audience. When people meet for svadhyaya, the speaker and listener are of one mind and have mutual love and respect. There is no sermonising and one heart speaks to another. The ennobling thoughts that arise from svadhyaya are, so to speak, taken into one's bloodstream so that they become a part of one's life and being.
The person practising svadhyaya reads his own book of life, at the same time that he writes and revises it. There is a change in his outlook on life. He starts to realise that all creation is meant for bhakti (adoration) rather than for bhoga (enjoyment), that all creation is divine, that there is divinity within himself and that the energy which moves him is the same that moves the entire universe."
I love the part about how all creation is divine and the divinity within ourselves. On a deeper level, we are more than our names or our experiences or our relationships. In my opinion, it's in being able to recognize this that makes for a powerful svadhyaya.
Here's a question you can ask yourself when seeking svadhyaya: Can I strip away everything and be in my being?
Can you see beyond the mask of your namesake and upbringing? Can you see through the way others have influenced you? Can you sit and be with your Self ― the One that is connected to all that is?

I had called my cable company once to see if I could get a better deal after being a loyal subscriber for three years. For many months, I loved the service that I got for the price I paid. Then one day, that price wasn't so great anymore. All of these fees started showing up on my bill. The customer service rep I spoke with on the phone listened as if a grave matter of national importance was being discussed.
NOTE: There is no such thing as a "digital" or "HD" TV antenna. Those terms refer to the fact that the over-the-air broadcast signal is digital/HD (since 2009), not the antenna itself. No matter what you may read about "advanced technology" TV antennas, the actual reception technology has not changed in decades. Sure, antennas come in all different shapes and sizes today, even sci-fi-like designs, but those are physical changes not technical advancements. If you buy an older home and discover a TV antenna in your attic or on your roof, it's going to receive the same pristine digital broadcast signals as anything you would buy today.
What you get: YouTube TV offers access to live TV from up to 50 providers, including all the major networks. It also has a cloud DVR with unlimited storage. The service is now available in more markets after launching in five cities in 2017. You also get the original programming on YouTube Red Originals. You can add Showtime for $11 per month, CuriosityStream for $3 more per month, or AMC Premiere for an additional $5 per month.
By the 1990s, tiers became common, with customers able to subscribe to different tiers to obtain different selections of additional channels above the basic selection. By subscribing to additional tiers, customers could get specialty channels, movie channels, and foreign channels. Large cable companies used addressable descramblers to limit access to premium channels for customers not subscribing to higher tiers, however the above magazines often published workarounds for that technology as well.
For original programming, it started weak, but upped it a notch with Casual, which got the critics interested and earned Hulu its first Golden Globe nomination. Now it's got a real cool factor thanks to the multi-award-winner A Handmaid's Tale. It's also made itself the exclusive place to watch the entire back catalog of classic shows like Star Trek, South Park, Seinfeld, the original CSI, and a bunch of Cartoon Network/Adult Swim shows. It has a smattering of movies, but really, Hulu is all about the TV shows.
This is a big deal for Amazon, which had previously refrained from partnering with any US pay-TV service to offer Amazon Prime Video. (The full scope of the deal is unclear at this point; neither partner revealed financial terms.) It's arguably a bigger deal for Comcast, however. The partnership lets it remain relevant by allowing it to at least temporarily bypass the existential terror felt by cable providers in response to cord-cutting, the trend for viewers to shift from traditional cable television to streaming services.
If you've ever doubted the excellence of YouTube, perform this simple exercise. Pick a favorite band or musical act, type in its name followed by "live" or "in concert". It doesn't matter what era we're talking about, you're going to find something amazing to watch – and it won't be a program that you'll ever find offered by Comcast, Spectrum or any other cable TV or satellite company.
Req. compatible device and Fios TV. Content restrictions may apply. Out-of-Home Use: Fios Multi-Room DVR Enhanced or Premium Service required to stream DVR recordings. Four DVR same-recording stream at a time. Verizon Wireless Data-Free Streaming: Req. postpay 4G LTE service. Non-streaming activity (e.g., app downloads, starting/restarting the app, going off airplane mode and transitioning from Wi-Fi to 4G LTE) will incur data charges (approx. 1-5 MB per instance). For Verizon Unlimited customers, app data usage will be counted, not billed.
I put a couple of units to the test and found that the new breed of antennas really work as advertised. In an environment like New York City with numerous obstacles to transmission towers, a major selling point of cable TV in the analog era was that it was the only reliable way to get a clear signal from the free network channels. But today, on a lower floor of my Brooklyn brownstone, I can get 60 OTA channels with a small tabletop antenna like the $50 Mohu Curve, which has a 30-mile antenna range. It did take a bit of trial and error to find the spot in the room with the strongest signal for most stations, but I got the best results by placing it near a window.
Know what you want - and stick to it. Are you looking for the basic cable channels, like your local television networks? Or do you specifically want a certain channel, such as a regional sports network so you can keep up with your home team? Regardless of your goal in subscribing to cable television, you will need to stick to the plan in order to keep your bill where you want it. The customer service representative's job is to try to sell you the highest tier they possibly can, so you'll likely need to be firm when ordering.
Not everything is free: Although over-the-air TV reception and many streaming channels are free, there are many streaming channels and services that require a monthly subscription or pay-per-view fee. If you only pay for one or two subscription-based or pay-per-view services, you can save money over cable/satellite. However, if you keep adding more pay services, those fees can add up, and you might again find yourself with a hefty monthly subscription or pay-per-view bill that could rival that old cable/satellite bill.

Mars InSight Mission
INSIGHT MISSION IMAGES
Insight's Robotic Arm Over Martian Soil
NASA's InSight spacecraft took a color-calibrated image of its robotic arm using its Instrument Deployment Camera on Dec. 4, 2018 (Sol 8). The camera still has a transparent dust cover on it, but the robotic arm can clearly be seen above the Martian soil. There is a dark scoop at the end of the arm. Above the scoop is the stowed grapple, the claw that InSight will use to grab and move its instruments from its deck onto the planet's surface. InSight will be the first Mars mission to use a robotic arm to grasp objects and deploy them onto the surface of another planet.
JPL manages InSight for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. InSight is part of NASA's Discovery Program, managed by the agency's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
A number of European partners, including France's Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), are supporting the InSight mission. CNES and the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP) provided the SEIS instrument, with significant contributions from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany, the Swiss Institute of Technology (ETH) in Switzerland, Imperial College and Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and JPL. DLR provided the HP3 instrument, with significant contributions from the Space Research Center (CBK) of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Astronika in Poland. Spain's Centro de Astrobiología (CAB) supplied the wind sensors.

Children at a Porter-Leath classroom show off their new books. Porter-Leath is the largest provider of early childhood education in Memphis.
A pilot program led by the State Department of Education at 134 early childhood programs across the state led to more growth in literacy skills among 7,000 of Tennessee's youngest students.
The one-year pilot is one piece of a larger war on literacy the state has been waging for years. But the state has slowly zeroed in on pre-K and other early education programs as the best vehicles to get 75 percent of its third-graders reading on grade level by 2025. Fewer than half of its third-graders are there.
"This is a real priority area for us, but the pilot takes it a step further to show there are things we can do before kids get to school to shore up foundations and accelerate growth," Education Commissioner Candice McQueen said.
Last year, the state put more books into participating classrooms and gave teachers more training in early literacy. Eighty classrooms also received in-depth coaching for teachers.
The state monitored progress by testing children in participating classrooms throughout the year, as well as testing children from control groups who weren't in the program. Children from the pilot sites were more likely to move up one or more levels on the state-given assessments by the end of the year, according to a state press release.
The sheer number of books in the classroom was also a factor in student growth, McQueen said. Pilot classrooms had about double the number of books than the control classrooms, thanks to donations from the Governor's Books From Birth Foundation.
McQueen told Chalkbeat that when she talked to teachers in the pilot, they told her they were more thoughtful in their classrooms with book choice, writing, and phonics instruction as a result of their training.
"One teacher directly said that she hadn't done anything with phonics because she didn't have a good foundation herself, but that the training helped her gain confidence with her own instruction," McQueen said.
The counties and districts participating in the first year of the pilot were: Anderson, Blount, Campbell, Claiborne, Davidson, Greene, Hamblen, Sevier, Shelby, Sullivan, Unicoi, Union, and Washington. The pilot focused on daycare schools and child centers that were run either by the Department of Education or Tennessee Department of Human Services.
McQueen said the department wants to expand the program, but said the state doesn't have specific details yet.

SPF has a fake news dilemma. We're here to sort it out.
Over the years, alarmist sunscreen headlines have gotten bolder, even blasphemous, with stories that favor clicks and shares over accuracy. We asked experts to evaluate some of the "news" in circulation and separate fact from fiction.
Why it went viral: From celebrities to hypochondriacal Facebook friends, plenty of people believe that chemical sunscreens are harmful. And some studies have even shown that benzophenones (like the common sunscreen chemical oxybenzone) may possibly lead to fertility issues and cancer.
The truth: "It would take a human 277 years using a lotion with 6 percent oxybenzone all over, every day, to build up to the amount of the chemical shown to affect the rats in those studies," says Dr. Heidi A. Waldorf, director of laser and cosmetic dermatology at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. The SPF ingredients used in the U.S. have an excellent safety record in humans, and calling them dangerous is a gross exaggeration, she adds.
Bottom line: Still worried? Use a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. Neutrogena Sheer Zinc and CeraVe InVisibleZinc are good options.
Why it went viral: Over the past few years, some have questioned the ability of SPF to prevent skin cancer, pointing to a 2011 paper in the journal Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine that stated, "Evidence demonstrating the protective effect of sunscreen in the prevention of melanoma is inconclusive."
The truth: That statement has been disproved by newer research, says the New Jersey dermatologist who cowrote that article, Dr. Steven Q. Wang, cofounder of Dr. Wang Herbal Skincare. As he explains: At the time of the report, about 23 studies had looked at sunscreen's protective effect; half showed a correlation between its use and cancer protection, and half showed a correlation with cancer risk. "But those studies were retrospective—they relied on people's memories, which introduces a bias," he says. Later in 2011, a groundbreaking Australian study following 1,621 subjects for 10 years was released, and it showed that daily sunscreen use lowered melanoma risk by more than 50 percent.
Bottom line: In 2017, "We can definitively say that sunscreen protects against skin cancer," says Wang.
Why it went viral: Bloggers often post DIY sunscreen recipes and rave about the sun-shielding powers of naturals like red raspberry seed oil ("SPF 25!"), carrot seed oil ("SPF 35!"), and good ol' coconut oil ("SPF 4!"). Some antioxidants and botanicals actually can reduce the inflammatory response of skin exposed to UV radiation, and may even offer a small amount of UVB protection for a short period of time, says Waldorf.
The truth: That said, "There is no evidence that any of these ingredients offer enough stable protection to be used as sunscreens on their own," says Waldorf.
Bottom line: "It's impossible to tell how much protection any ingredient offers without lab-testing the finished product," notes California dermatologist and Karyng founder Dr. Karyn Grossman.
Why it went viral: NYC dermatologist Dr. Robert Anolik thinks this rumor took off in 2012, when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services selected retinyl palmitate for toxicology screening.
The truth: "They generally examine any ingredient common in cosmetics, even aloe vera," Anolik explains. Retinyl palmitate, a vitamin A derivative, is naturally found in skin cells, and dermatologists have prescribed forms of vitamin A for years to treat acne and photoaging. "There's no evidence that it increases cancer risk," he says.
Bottom line: If you're still not convinced, just choose a sunscreen without the ingredient.

Celebrating the History of the Delaware Department of Transportation
Date Posted: Thursday, March 28th, 2019
In 2019, the Delaware Department of Transportation marks 102 years of service to the residents of Delaware and all who travel throughout the First State. On Saturday, April 6, at 10:30 a.m. Jennifer Cohan, Secretary of Delaware Department of Transportation will present a program at the Delaware Public Archives focusing on the history of this state agency. The Delaware General Assembly passed the Highway Act of 1917 which formed a centralized highway department with the authority to build and maintain a "permanent" highway system extending throughout the state. Secretary of Transportation Jennifer Cohan will present on the history of the department and how Delaware's transportation system has evolved and expanded over the past century.
Jennifer Cohan was appointed in January 2015 to be only the third woman to lead the Delaware Department of Transportation after serving as the Director of the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles since 2007. Her state public service career has spanned over 27 years. Cohan has worked in the capacity of Financial/Program Manager at the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control managing the state's Clean Water Program. She has also worked with the Delaware State Legislature within the Office of the Controller General. In addition, she is an adjunct professor at Wilmington University, teaching leadership and public policy in the Master's program.

The choices are many and varied, with 7 levels to have a go at, each level named after a colour of the rainbow! The combinations are, in summary: walking with two reins; walking with one rein; walk and trot with two reins; walk and trot with one rein; walk, trot and canter with two reins; walk, trot and canter with one rein; and, finally, the elite walk, trot and canter bridleless (no reins).
For more detail about each level, see the Horse Agility Club website.
Very excited to confirm that we'll be back at the Hurst Show and Country Fayre this year! We'll be doing our display on Saturday 25th June, exact times to be confirmed but expected to be similar to last year.
We had great fun last year and the Hurst Show itself is a great day out for all the family, lots to see and do and raising lots of money for local charities. Put the date in your diary!


Looks like my optimism in my last post was extremely premature. On Tuesday my stats plummeted. Between now and then I've had under 190 users a day, and earned just 30 cents a day. On a weekday! I would have considered those stats bad last year. This year? They're abysmal.
Near as I can tell the best explanation for the nose dive is the loss of domain authority. I had previously read that by setting up 301 redirects that I would retain 90-99% of the ranking power. This may have been true if I redirected my entire site from SarahKTyler.com to Datayze.com, but I didn't. I wanted to keep the splash page of SarahKTyler.com, which is serving as my online resume. I may have kept the ranking power of the individual pages that are redirecting, but that doesn't seem to be helping much. It does not appear that I've kept much, if any, of my domain authority I've managed to build up over the years.
I'm starting off at a significantly bigger disadvantage than I thought I would. My new domain name is just 11 days old. I set up the redirect just six days ago, which means it probably wasn't discovered by Google or Bing until six days ago. For all intents and purposes, my domain age is practically zero. In his video Matt Cutts says not to worry too much about domain age since it's less of a factor at two or three months and it typically takes a few months to go from spalsh page to full website anyway. That's still 53 days away. Seventy percent of my traffic is (or was) from the search engine. I'm worried if I lose those eyeballs it'll take a very long time before they start to find me again.
I figured since my old name was in the top 2,000,000 sites per Alexa, both search engine giants would pick up on the change quickly. Neither did. I submitted a site map hoping it would help them get around to indexing my new site faster. Neither has.
I knew I would make missteps when starting my own company, but this one feels like the biggest so far. I should have held off on the launch until the new domain had a chance to be crawled.
At this point I think the best thing to do is keep moving forward. What's done is done. Before now I've always been rather indifferent to search engine optimization. I've always held the belief that good content matters more than anything else. Now I've been reading about breadcrumbs, structured data, and sitemaps.

The Republican Field on Martin Luther King: It's Complicated

On Monday, the five remaining GOP presidential candidates will celebrate Martin Luther King Day by gathering in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and debating Rick Santorum's thoughts about Mitt Romney's response to Newt Gingrich's condemntation of Newt Gingrich's super-PAC's attack on Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital. Or something like that. The timing of the Fox News debate hasn't been lost on folks like South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Dick Harpootlian, who suggested on Thursday it showed a lack of regard for the life of the Civil Rights icon.
The other, probably more plausible explanation is that, with the primary scheduled for Saturday, Monday was just an obvious date to hold the first of two debates. But it does raise the question—one that could come up in some iteration during the debate: How do the GOP candidates feel about Dr. King and his civil rights legacy? Here's a quick guide:
Mitt Romney: It was at a Martin Luther King Day parade in Jacksonville, Florida in 2008 that Romney made the ill-considered decision to chant the lyrics to the Baha Men's hit single, "Who Let the Dogs Out?" Except instead of posing it as a question, he seemed to supply the answer: "Who let the dogs out. Who. Who."
His attempts to discuss King's legacy have gone about as smoothly. In 2007, the former Massachusetts governor told an audience in College Station, Texas, "I saw my father march with Martin Luther King." But as David Bernstein reported, that wasn't quite right. There was no evidence of Romney's father, George, marching with MLK at Grosse Pointe, Michigan, as the campaign had claimed; for one thing, MLK had never been to Grosse Pointe. The campaign later clarified that George Romney and MLK had marched together in a metaphorical sense—they were in different cities, and the marches took place on different days—and that Mitt (who was not present for either event) had seen his father march in a metaphorical sense as well. Romney's justice advisory committee includes failed Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork, who has written that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 established "a principle of unsurpassed ugliness."
Ron Paul: The Texas congressman called King "one of my heroes," but his record on the subject is a fair bit murkier. The Ron Paul Survival Report, published under his name at a significant profit, refers to MLK Day as "Hate Whitey Day," and describes King himself as a "pro-communist philanderer" who "seduced underage girls and boys." Although he has disavowed the contents of the newsletters, Paul did, as the newsletter proudly reported, vote against the bill establishing a holiday celebrating the civil rights icon—twice. Paul's supporters contend that the candidate really did support the holiday and tout a 1979 floor vote to prove it, but as Ta-Nehisi Coates explains, the vote they point to as evidence was not a vote to create the holiday.
Paul is also opposed to one of King's signature accomplishments: The Civil Rights Act of 1964. He cast a symbolic vote against the law in 2004, and told CNN's Candy Crowley in January that, while he abhorred segregation, the landmark legislation "destroyed the principle of private property and private choices." That's the same argument made in the newsletters, where Paul (or his ghostwriter) explained that King "replaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil of forced integration."
Newt Gingrich: Gingrich voted to make MLK Day a federal holiday in 1983 and broke into politics as a Nelson Rockefeller-style moderate, one who was conscious of Southern conservatives' nasty record on civil rights and who seemed determined to move beyond it. He also voted for the 1984 Civil Rights Act extension, albeit somewhat grudgingly. In 2010, he warned that the Affordable Care Act was the most radical piece of legislation since the 1960s, and gloated that: "They will have destroyed their party much as Lyndon Johnson shattered the Democratic Party for 40 years" by signing the Civil Rights Act.
In May, Gingrich, who has lavished praise on King, proposed reinstating literacy tests for voters—an impediment to the democratic process that's prohibited by the Voting Rights Act because it was specifically used to disenfranchise black voters. In January, he took heat for promising to go to the NAACP convention and speak truth to power on what he perceives to be the debilitating influence of social welfare programs like food stamps. Although for very different reasons, a long-standing beef with the NAACP is, at least, one thing that Gingrich and King had in common.
Rick Santorum: Santorum cites King as a model for how faith can inform policy debates. "Did Kennedy reject desegregation because black ministers like the Rev. Martin Luther King arguing from a Biblical premise advocated it? Thank goodness he didn't," he said in a 2010 address in Houston. He went on to quote extensively from King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." But for the former Pennsylvania senator, King's defense of basic human rights went well beyond segregation; in an interview with CNS News last January, he used King's defense of natural law to argue that we have an obligation to impose moral values on public policy issues like abortion. That line of argument led to this bomb, in reference to President Obama: "I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say 'now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people.'"
Rick Perry: In August, Perry caused a minor outcry when he told reporters in Rock Hill, South Carolina that the fight against government regulation and taxation was the civil rights struggle of our time. In his book, Fed Up!, he seeks to preempt a "supernovel" gotcha question about his states-rights views by heaping praise on the Civil Rights Act of 1964: "The Civil Rights Act, which, among many things, prohibited private discrimination in so-called public accommodations, such as hotels and restaurants, was the glorious fulfillment of the principles of the Declaration of Independence and, ultimately, the intent behind passage of the Reconstruction Era amendments. I believe there was ample basis for the establishment of that law in that following the Civil War the people ratified three amendments, the purpose of which was to give the federal government the power to fight racial discrimination." When he was still considered a viable candidate, the Washington Post reported that Perry's family had for years rented a West Texas property known as "Niggerhead" Ranch.
