Multipoint architectures for on-board optical interconnects
Apostolos Siokis, Konstantinos Christodoulopoulos, Emmanouel (Manos) Varvarigos
Optical technology offers a high-Bandwidth, energy-Efficient solution for the increased communication requirements of data center and high-Performance computing environments and is expected to be gradually deployed at all levels of the packaging hierarchy: from board-Toboard, to on-Board, andeven on-Chipcommunication. In this work we focus on the on-board architecture level, outlining layout strategies for multipoint networks, such as single buses as well as a mesh of buses (MB) on optical printed circuit boards (OPCBs). Driven by that, we discuss how related point-To-Point topologies, such as ameshof fully connected networks (MFCN), can be realized using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and multipoint layouts. We also provide closed-Form formulas for the network capacity and the average internodal distance of these two mesh-Like topology families,MB and MFCN, and demonstrate how the proposed techniques and formulas can be used for designing reconfigurable mesh-Like architectures on OPCBs.

Bush jnr salutes his father with mundane folksiness
By Andrew Lynch Jan 8, 2015
41, A Portrait of My Father. By George W Bush. WH Allen, €25.
One evening in the late 1960s, George W Bush drove home roaring drunk from a tennis match and crashed into a neighbour's rubbish bin. He was sent upstairs to see his namesake father, at the time a congressman and rising star in the Republican Party. Bush senior simply lowered his glasses, gave his son a frosty stare and went back to reading his book.
"I felt like a fool," writes the 43rd US president...

How Detroit Tigers' AJ Hinch will approach players about COVID-19 vaccine
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch is going to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Of course, the 46-year-old — without any known health issues — must wait his turn. But when the time comes, regardless of what rules MLB puts in motion, he will welcome the vaccination.
"I'm going to take the vaccine, whenever it's my turn in line to do it," Hinch said Wednesday. "I had COVID, so I know exactly what it can do and what my experience was like. I need to talk to the doctors and see what, if any, complications are with those of us who have had it before, but I want to be safe."
On Sunday morning, semi-trucks with the first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine departed from the Pfizer manufacturing plant in Portage, Michigan, to distribute the vaccine around the state and country. The first person from Michigan was injected at approximately noon Monday.
Many young, healthy people won't be able to get the vaccination until the spring and summer.
[ A.J. Hinch had COVID-19 in September: Here's what he learned ]
At some point, Hinch will talk to his players about the vaccine. The clubhouse conversation, Hinch said, will depend on MLB protocols. He isn't going to try to sway his players in either direction.
USA TODAY: Major League Baseball, union at odds on whether start of 2021 season should be delayed
"It's super important for everybody to make their personal decisions for the best interest of themselves and their family," Hinch said. "It's hard if somebody disagrees and doesn't want to do it. I don't know what protocols we're going to have in place.
"I know we want a safe environment. I know we want the fans back in the stands. I know we want something to feel normal again, which is baseball in the summer with the freedom to move around, leave the hotel and go to the ballpark whenever we want, and live a baseball life that we've lived our whole lives."
[ AJ Hinch wants Miguel Cabrera to play first base in 2021 ]
When Hinch was hired by the Tigers on Oct. 30, he revealed he contracted COVID-19 in September. At the time, he was nearing the conclusion of his year-long MLB suspension for his role in the Houston Astros' sign-stealing plot.
Within Michigan, the novel coronavirus has killed nearly 11,500 people and infected about 478,000 in total. Throughout the United States, there have been roughly 305,000 deaths and more than 16.8 million infections.
Hinch, who lives in Texas, was one of those infected cases.
A handful of Tigers prospects had COVID-19 last summer, as did numerous players throughout the 2020 baseball season.
"It's hard to say what's going to be necessary for baseball on what we need to do to have a normal season," Hinch said. "Obviously, that cuts into safety. I don't think, just because you get the vaccine, you get free rein. I'm expecting masks to be a part of our country for a while. I will make sure that I'm safe."
To have what he described as "freedom" during the upcoming season, Hinch said it's important to learn about the vaccine before deciding whether to get injected. Also, he vows to keep his clubhouse safe by following the COVID-19 protocols to the best of his ability.
"I'll address it directly with our players," Hinch said. "I'll let them know what my plans are, and I'll let them disagree if they disagree, and we'll move forward with whatever rules are put in place by Major League Baseball. Tricky situation, but also not when you put family first.
"I want to be safe. I want the freedom to move around the country and move around baseball, and I'm going to move forward with that with my family."

With Halloween Canceled For Many, Parents Are Sharing Their Spooky Plans For Their Kids During COVID

It's Halloween season but there are creepier things than ghosts and witches lingering in the air: fear of COVID.
As people across the globe begin to prepare for the fall and winter holidays, Halloween included, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is doling out words of warning when it comes to gathering around your community. In fact, the public agency recently advised that "when planning to host a holiday celebration, you should assess current COVID-19 levels in your community to determine whether to postpone, cancel, or limit the number of attendees."
For many parents cautious of spreading the disease to loved ones and strangers, trick-or-treating isn't going to be an option on the table.
We dug around Reddit to see just how parents are going to make the Halloween season special for their kids this year.
Check out their answers and ideas below!
"I'm trying to salvage as much of the holidays as I can for the kids. I'm planning to put a table at the end of my driveway with candy laid out, and a bottle of sanitizer so that kids don't have to come to my door. Figure I'll sit at the other end of the driveway and yell happy Halloween to anyone who comes by and restock the table as needed. Anyone else planning on doing something similar? Just curious if other parents are going to let their kids out at all."- u/beejonez
"I won't be taking my kids trick or treating this year but I do plan to make them goodie bags with Halloween themed stuff. My 7-year-old suggested we do an egg hunt im the yard like we do on Easter. I think she's on to something with that idea."- jeezlouise45
"We're doing a Glow-in-the Dark, candy hunt. Painting our Easter eggs with paint and then doing it at night. We are making a day of it. Spooky foods and our own halloween party. I wasnt planning on not doing trick or treating this year, but all our neighbors decorated and I'm confused if it a go?! I wasn't going to do any TorT. I might put something out for kids, like individual bags? I we may go to our neighbors, in our cul da sac, but defiantly not neighborhood. I guess we'll see on Halloween."- Wam_2020
"I have seen a lot of back and forth. The CDC, OHA and most health organizations are recommending doing nothing like a traditional Halloween this year. Including just putting candy out form a distance, as you are. We aren't going out, Halloween will come next year. Going to dress up, watch a movie and eat the candy we would have handed out." –HowdyAudi
"I actually hope we have a big rain storm, so the kids don't feel like they missed out."-Wam_2020
"I grabbed halloween bags from Winco and have prefilled them with candy. I will be passing them out from the end of my driveway as well so kids won't be sticking their hands in a bowl or messing with sanitizer with gloves on. Just my gloved hands, my N95 mask, and the best compromise between safety and traditions I just won't give up for anything I can arrange. Plus I'm, at least one of, if not, the "Full Sized Candy Bar" house in a neighborhood dominated by lower income families." –Herr__Nilpferd
"I'm not taking my kids out. I think we will set up a table at the end of the driveway and give out candy with bbq tongs as our house is very decorated and I'm sure some folks will still be out TorTing. As for my kids I think they're gonna get a candy shopping spree at the store." –mithygreg
"Thanks for the insights. I'll probably still put some candy out for the few that come around. But haunted hunts and such sound like fun things to distract my 5yo with."- beejonez
"We're a scavenger hunt at the homes of people in our Coronavirus bubble if I get my shit together and organize it … Giving each of our kids basically a Halloween version of an Easter basket." –sunnydpdx
"I'm buying a shitload of candy and eating it while Watching spooky movies by myself, happy early Halloween guys." –s3r1ous_n00b

Have A Virtual Hot Date? Here's How To Make Sure It Doesn't Suck
By Justin Lessner January 14, 2021 at 4:44 pm

For the single introverts among us, lockdown might seem like the perfect opportunity to re-charge our social batteries and have some much needed alone-time. But no, thanks to the wonders of technology and just how damn adaptable human beings are, virtual dating has totally become a thing.
For better or for worse, people are dating just as much as ever – albeit through a screen. So if you're using dating apps during lockdown, arranging video dates and looking for virtual date ideas, here's a handy guide on how to stay safe and how to ace virtual dating.
Make a damn effort
#DATING: Virtual date nights to keep the spark alive 💕 Dating from a distance doesn't have to be boring! https://t.co/Q0oDYLAV48 pic.twitter.com/XjCSx3XIDf
— DIVA Magazine (@DIVAmagazine) January 8, 2021
Act as if the date was in person and get ready accordingly. Shower if you haven't already that day — it'll make you feel a lot better — and put on your favorite outfit. Even if it's not seasonally appropriate, who cares? Wear the sundress pushed all the way back in your closet. Put on makeup if that's your thing, and do your hair.
It makes all the difference not only in how you present yourself but by how you perceive yourself. You'll feel better on the date, more like your "usual" self.
Figure out your camera setup beforehand
Pro-tip: Do all this the day before, or at least an hour before, the date starts. That way you're not scrambling and worrying about your angles. Decide if you're going to use your phone or computer. Put it at eye-level, if possible. If you're using a laptop, you can place it on a stack of books, but you can also DIY it by leaning your phone against your laptop screen (which can have its own book stack setup) or anything else you can find.
And…lighting…lighting….lighting! Set yourself up with some good, flattering lighting before you start the call. Find a place that's the most flattering in your house. Be sure you're not backlit by a window which can wash out your face.
Simulate real date ideas

Although you obviously can't "grab a drink" together, you can simulate that. Text before the date and decide if you'll be drinking wine, coffee, or eating dinner "together." You can even do a twist on "Netflix and chill," simultaneously using Netflix's "party" function; if you go that route, choose something campy or that you've both seen before so you can chat easily during it.
Trust your instincts
"A nip slip may not be appropriate for a date with a new person," Moraya DeGeare, a licensed marriage and family therapist, joked to Refinery 29. "It's modern times, so I think there will be the temptation for people to be really bold and ask about FaceTime sex. People are horny and trapped in their houses. On one hand, that's okay, but on the other, you're risking someone taking screenshots," she cautions. "Listen to your intuition and don't do something you don't feel comfortable with."
She adds that you shouldn't take the call from bed, because "you're immediately sending all these other signals unintentionally." Generally, she says you should conduct the date as you would in person.
Expect awkwardness to happen, because it will happen

Awkwardness isn't necessarily a bad thing and, when dating is involved, it's inevitable. First dates in real life have their own clumsy moments, so don't beat yourself up if your camera freezes for a moment, or if you talk over the other person. It's going to happen! Just laugh about it and move on.
Stay safe and comfortable
Although it may seem like common sense, being cooped up inside for so long has left many of us lacking some of the most basic people skills. Remember to not give out any of your personal details – think home address and bank details – and watch out for any suspicious links that might come through in the chat.
Before the date, it's also a good idea to do some recon on your date's social media to make sure they are who they say they are. Also, don't show your face on camera if they're not showing theirs, that's a serious red flag.
And lastly, know that you can end the date whenever you want to. You don't owe anybody anything and it's totally fine if you're feeling uncomfortable or in danger to just end the call. But remember, basic dating etiquete also still remains so don't just close your computer screen without saying goodbye because you're just not feeling the vibe.

Chicago's Mi Tocaya Is Offering Up Free Mexican Homemeals For Undocumented Community
By Jorge Rodriguez-Jimenez at 1:42 pm

Undocumented communities are being left out of Covid relief plans. Chef Diana Dávila of Mi Tocaya in Chicago is working to help undocumented restaurant worker in the time of Covid. Abuse of undocumented workers is rampant in certain industries and Chef Dávila hopes to offer some kind of help.
Mi Tocaya is a Mexican restaurant in Chicago's Logan Square that wants to help the community.
A post shared by Mi Tocaya Antojería (@mitocaya)
Covid-19 has devastated the hospitality industry with restaurants being hit exceptionally hard. Restaurants have been forced to close their doors for good as the virus dragged on with no decent relief plan from the federal government. As several countries financially support citizens to avoid economic disaster, the U.S. government has given citizens $1,800 total to cover 10 months of isolating and business closures.
Namely, Mi Tocaya is working to help the undocumented community.
Mi Tocaya, a family-run restaurant, is teaming up with Chicago's Top Chefs and local non-profits Dishroulette Kitchen and Logan Square Neighborhood Association. The goal is to highlight the issues facing the undocumented community during the pandemic.
The initiative called Todos Ponen, is all about uplifting members of our community in a time of severe need. The restaurant is creating healthy Mexican family meals for those in need.
"We asked ourselves; How can we keep our doors open, provide a true service to the community, maintain and create jobs, and keep the supply chain intact by supporting local farmers and vendors. This is the answer," Chef Dávila said in a statement. "I confidently believe The TODOS PONEN Logan Square Project addresses all of the above and can very well be easily implemented in any community. Our goal is to bring awareness to the lack of resources available to the undocumented workforce- the backbone of our industry."
The initiative starts in February.
Mi Tocaya is offering 1000 free meals for local farmers and undocumented restaurant workers. The meals are available for pickup Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 2800 W Logan Blvd, Chicago, IL 60647. to make this happen, Mi Tocaya also needs your help.
The restaurant has teamed up with two nonprofits to make sure that they can scale their operation to fulfill their commitment. They are also asking for donations to make sure they can do what they can to help undocumented restaurant workers.
According to Eater LA, 8 million restaurant workers have been laid off since the pandemic started. Some restaurants have had to lay off up to 91 percent of their staff because of Covid, about 10 percent of those are undocumented. In the cities, that number is as high as 40 percent of the laid-off restaurant staff are undocumented.
"People don't want to talk about the undocumented workforce, but they're part of our daily routine in most restaurants," Jackson Flores, who manages the operations of Mi Tocaya, said in a statement. "They are in the toughest position in the whole economy because they're an invisible part of it. Restaurant worker advocacy groups have added the creation of relief funds to their agendas, but there have yet to be long-term changes in protections for undocumented workers. Without access to unemployment benefits and other government resources, this group is especially vulnerable."

***This blog was suppose to get posted about three months ago, procrastination is my middle name!
This blog will talk about what I've been up to for the past 9 months and why I decided to live and teach in the Middle East (ME)!
If someone had predicted that I would be teaching and working in Kuwait, then I would have laughed in their face. During my last year in China, both of my friends Shyanne and Ciarra were applying for jobs in Kuwait. I was thinking "wow that's pretty cool, but umm that could not be me". Shyanne was telling me how there wasn't any alcohol there. She went on to talk about the many sandstorms that occurred there. The weather there was also insane, temperatures would reach in the high of 120s. At that time I had no plans living abroad again after China, due to wanting to live back home, trying to make a relationship work, and being closer to my family.
After my backpacking ventures in Europe, I decided to move out of my mother's house in Jersey and to Philadelphia, even though I didn't have a job! NOT THE BEST IDEA, but ehh you live and you learn! I spent a lot of time cooking, reading, procrastinating, and working on a few things.
Eventually, I got a job subbing in Camden County after 3 months. I decided to permanently work at this one school in Camden. There was always an open position there, due to teachers never wanting to come in. I worked there for about three weeks, and I kid you not, I started seeing grey hairs aha! Subbing is usually an easy job, nope not at several inner city schools. You will have to work for every single paycheck. A few teachers loved my dedication and were actually surprised that I kept coming back. "Wow Ms. Destin, teachers never stay for more than a few days!" Some of the teachers were trying to groom me for a full time position, after seeing my determination. They love how the children would open up and listen to me. I seriously thought about it, but the timing wasn't right! Timing for me is everything, if my heart is not in it, then I rather leave.
Overall, teaching and subbing in the inner city is not an easy thing. I applaud anyone reading this who had or have been doing it for awhile because you are the REAL MVP! Inner city schools need so much more than teachers. They need the parents & administrators to be working hand by hand. These schools also need therapist. A lot of these children are dealing with many problems at home, which has a HUGE effect in their social and school environment. I've met so many phenomenal students, who I wish nothing, but the best for in life! I hope that they don't become a product of their environment. Hopefully they are able to avoid the school to prison pipeline system. The Pipeline to Prison refers to the policies and practices that push the nation's youth, especially ethnic and racial minorities, out of the classrooms through suspension and expulsion, and onto the streets, leading them all too often into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. This system needs to end ASAP!
Let's change the subject because that's a completely different blog post!
Anyways, around March, I was stalking Shyanne & Ciarra's Facebook pages and felt like I needed to be where they were! Shyanne's live videos and adventures sold me on the idea of living in the Middle East! I remember watching a video of her randomly walking down this road in Jordan. I believe that she was lost and I was laying on my bed like "omg I wish that I was there right now"! Meanwhile everyone on her page is wishing her to be safe and wishing her to be super careful! After about a week, I discussed with her of how I wanted to teach in Kuwait. She sent me the link and I decided to apply !!!
Check out my next blog to see how my application process went and where I applied!

What happened to the towns of Flagstaff and Dead River?
It was fall of 1949 when the gates of the Long Falls Dam were shut and the Dead River swelled backwards up the valley forming Flagstaff Lake.
Three years later, whatever was left behind from three towns was tamped under 80 billion gallons of heavy blue water.
Flagstaff, Maine is dead. Due to the forest fires and the impending biblical-scale flood, every resident had to pick up and move. But neither the fires nor flood were natural disaster; they were engineered by man. For decades, Central Maine Power Company intended to dam the Dead River for hydroelectric power. They wiped a jagged corridor of forest and farms clean to make a reservoir. Instead of forty days and nights of rain, there were just over forty years of scouting, calculation, warning and reparations to the two hundred or so residents of Flagstaff and the neighboring plantation of Dead River who had to move before they built the dam that sunk the towns.
Two communities, Flagstaff and Dead River, were located in western Maine, near the Quebecois border, latitudinally equal with Montreal. Back in the late 18th century, encampments sprouted up along the Dead River in a fertile ribbon of land between the mountains. The floodplain was good for farming and timber harvest, trapping and fishing. By 1840, there were two mills, grist and lumber, the two heartbeats of the town for the coming century. Like many small towns, aerially it was laid out sort of like the letter "T". Along the left arm was the Hazen Ames pool hall, the E.J.

In the very early 1900s, Central Maine Power Company forecasted the new century's energy demand. In 1909, they bought a natural bottleneck in the Dead River called Long Falls. The plan was to dam the Dead River into a 27-mile-long reservoir. After nearly two decades of legislative dogfights, the Kennebec Reservoir Company (a trident comprised of CMP and two paper companies) was granted the go-ahead in 1927 to build a storage dam. 'Storage' meant that Long Falls Dam wouldn't have turbines. It would store potential energy in the form of 80 billion gallons of water. Long Falls Dam would act as a regulator. Due to the ephemeral flow of the Dead River, there wasn't always sufficient volume to spin the turbines of other dams downstream on the Kennebunk River. With the dam at Long Falls, they could open the floodgates and generate electricity to serve communities in other parts of Maine.
Why they chose a spot to dam where the man-made lake would swallow three towns is not entirely clear. The towns lay along the river in a geological dimple from the glacier perched there around ten thousand years ago. There was already a natural basin, a floodplain.
Workers lift powerlines over a home.
As early as the twenties, men in hats and suits with hands folded behind their backs appeared in town. They started knocking on doors and made offers to buy property. Central Maine Power's stacks of photos of sold homes got thicker. The populations were rural and relatively poor, so eventually money trumped the desire to stay. Plus, because of eminent domain, they would have to move sometime. Might as well be now.
The towns underwent a comprehensive graft. Some wedged I-beams between the foundation and ground floor of their homes, lifted them onto flatbeds, and trucked them down to their new plot of land in Stratton-Eustis, a few dozen miles upstream. Homes too wide were sawed in half and trucked away in pieces. Homes too tall needed someone to stand on the roof and lift power lines over the houses as they drove out of town. Others sold, moved, or let Central Maine Power raze the buildings.

Current residents were not the only ones forced to moved. Former residents were relocated as well. The Flagstaff Cemetery was dug up, grave by grave, and transferred to Eustis. The wealthier folks who had been buried in proper caskets were transferred intact. Others buried without coffins were not. Some remember the removals of these graves as haphazard and mishandled.
In 1948, the construction of Long Falls Dam began. Around 1,000 workers were imported to the area and started cutting and digging, terraforming the place. But before Flagstaff Lake could be made, nothing could be protruding from the would-be lakebed. Whether tree, fence, or the E.J. Leavitt General Store, it needed to be erased. Central Maine Power didn't want a beard of pines and shrubs and anythingsticking out of the lake.
The utility parceled out squares of forest, acre by acre. There was a flat rate for whoever wanted to clear the flowage, the area into which the lake would flow. Eighteen thousand acres needed clearing, so some Flagstaff and Dead River residents even pitched in for some extra cash. After all of the trees in the acre were felled and lying like pick-up sticks in beds of sawdust, they had to be cleared. Without heavy machinery, the method of choice was burning. Each worker was responsible for his own plot. No centralized organization oversaw these controlled burns, and the fires sometimes got away from them. Essentially what you had was many people independently setting many forest fires a day. Residents of the towns kept their irreplaceables in suitcases by the door, just in case. From the firewatch on top of Bigelow, you would have seen pillars of black smoke dotting solid green forest as if the earth were venting some great heat.
Mary Henderson, June Parsons, and Forest Parsons (in order of appearance) recount memories of the fires.

Now Flagstaff Lake is recreational. In the summers, tourists come from all over Maine and Quebec to water ski and tube and fish on the largest man-made lake in the state. Summer camps and picnic tables skirt the shoreline. They give tours and boat rides.
Stratton-Eustis, as we mentioned earlier, is a town upriver where many Flagstaffers moved. There's a general store called "The General Store", a less general general store and two inns -- The White Wolf and The Plaza, where all the snowmobilers get drunk in their snowsuit suspenders and sing Kathy's Karaoke on Friday nights. There are coughing chimneys and the stingy sweet smell of woodsmoke, hills of snow swept off main street. Everything is white. The only other building in town is the Dead River Area Historical Society. It's a huge white barn with a small bell tower on top, a church previously. To the right of the door is a handwritten sign: Open Weekends 11-3 July and August.
It's February, so it's not open. But we had talked to Lee Henderson, the curator, before we drove up and he said he'd let us in. We parked at his house and walked over. It took about 20 seconds. Lee is a reticent, agreeable man in his seventies. He communicates mostly with head nods and the crackle of flipping newspaper pages.
Lee unlocks the door to the Dead River Area Historical Society. It's a hoarder's paradise. There are stacks upon stacks, piles upon piles of everything, anything. A stuffed black bear is snarling, frozen mid-maul right as you walk in, deer busts and their ten-point prominences, sepia photos of handsome women spread on tables, old curling maps, a creepy mannequin in a flower printed dress, warped translucent glass bottles, books chewed up by the decades which should definitely be in some climate-controlled vacuum display, rusted forks and coins on shelves that washed up on the shore of Flagstaff Lake. Apparently the historical society doesn't turn anything away. They get more stuff dropped off there than they can sort and categorize in any more meaningful way other than put that with the other coins, put the needles somewhere by the Singer sewing machine, or that flower printed dress would really accent how creepy that mannequin is.
Weekends. 11-3. July and August. So for a vast majority of the year all of the relics and artifacts and trinkets wait there motionless in the dark, just the same as all the drowned stuff still stuck at the bottom of the lake.
Every now and again, a high school student doing a project or someone drawn by rumors of a sunken ghost town, gridded with disappeared dirt roads, gutted structures with sleeves of algae on their beams, wood panels and roofs where the farmers and children used to walk, but now house their spectres amongst curtains of lake-weed and darting fish. The decades have churned memory into myth.
But some diligently try to defibrillate the memory of the lost towns. The town hosts an annual "Old Home Day" to reminisce over potluck. Some, such as Kenny Wing and Alan Burnell have compiled a book of faded photos. Ruey Stevens Baldwin gathered former residents' journal entries and essays into a Flagstaff anthology called There Was a Land.
Jay Wyman lives in Stratton-Eustis. His mother, Betty, grew up in Dead River. She left before the flood when she was 17. Years ago, Jay took up collecting remnants of the flooded valley. More recently, his hobby has snowballed into a meticulous devotion to the preservation of these lost towns.
Energy has changed the landscape of this little valley in northwest Maine three times in the past 65 years. Hydroelectricity came in '49. Exactly four decades after the flood, a biomass plant opened in Stratton-Eustis in 1989. The plant burns forestry residue to generate electricity. Its 200 foot smokestack can be seen from anywhere in town.
Flagstaff and Dead River are a microcosm of the way energy demand resculpts our landscapes and communities. The pursuit of energy continues to do so to this day. In 2010, a plot on Kibby Mountain was cleared for a cluster of 44 giant wind turbines, making it the largest wind farm in New England.
Growing population demands reshuffling and repurposing of what was, to accommodate what is. In other words: progress. But when we say 'progress,' what do we mean exactly? Perhaps we mean 'progress' in the utilitarian sense: the most happiness for the greatest number of people. But we will never agree on a universal metric for happiness, and for those who sacrifice their livelihood to make way for others, progress seems more like regress.
We wonder if things like electrification and increasingly efficient transportation and communication make people happier or just make things easier. So by 'most happiness,' perhaps we are really saying something more like 'most convenient for the greatest number of people.' But we can't stop population growth, so we wonder whether we even have any control of the momentum of change at all.
Regardless, we still need to consider the costs and dividends of change and, furthermore, how we implement these changes. The former residents of Flagstaff and Dead River lost everything: what do they have left? Is it the artifacts stacked in piles in the Dead River Area Historical Society? Is it books or photographs? Is it the stories Jay Wyman found in postcards to tell his grandkids?
Whatever the answer, it becomes more and more difficult to bequeath generational memory, especially as decades fall away and fewer and fewer people remember what happened to the towns of Flagstaff and Dead River.

This is a great way of using up a glut of tomato and cucumber.
Melt the butter with the oil in a large saucepan. Cook the onion in that for about five minutes on a low heat.
Add the garlic, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and potato. Season and stir.
Put the lid on and sweat the vegetables on a a low heat for 15-20 minutes.
Add the hot water and tomato purée and heat to simmering point. Cover and simmer gently for a further 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
Blend the soup until the vegetables are in fine bits. Taste and season as necessary.
Stir in the basil and serve immediately. Goes well with some fresh crusty bread.


With the six runners of the Betfred Hurdle boasting 15 Graded wins between them, the quality of the Class 2 contest is undoubted, but the Aintree contest has far more to it than that.
Last seen hinting that he could be the next big thing when winning the 2013 Arkle Simonsig is a horse that has yet to truly show just how good he could be.
The break of 970 days through various minor ailments suggest that it would be a maverick-like training performance for Nicky Henderson to get the grey back on track with a win.
While chasing was his game when last seen, only Fingal Bay got the best of him over hurdles, in a season that culminated in him winning the Neptune Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
His break may be a concern for anyone wanting to part with their money to back the likely favourite on Merseyside, but the fact that Barry Geraghty has chosen to ride him over 2013 Gold Cup winner Bobs Worth (more to come on him later) and that he won his last two seasonal reappearances by an aggregate distance of 60 lengths.
Return in the form that he has done and the son of Fair Mix will be tough to beat.
A crack at the King George could be on the cards if he shows something special in Liverpool and with Kempton a track in which he blitzed the useful Hinterland by 35 lengths in the Wayward Lad Novices Chase three years ago, he would be expected to make a bold show of things.
His accomplice from Seven Barrows, Bobs Worth, is a horse who was on the downgrade when last seen, folding tamely in the Bet365 Gold Cup in April.
The four-time Grade 1 winner is likely to be the outsider of five for the 2m4f contest and based on last season's form it is easy to see why.
That Sandown run followed laboured showings in the Gold Cup and the Lexus Chase in which he was pulled up and finished eighth of nine respectively.
Henderson's 10-year-old's chase mark has dropped 21lbs since the 2014 Gold Cup in those three runs, an indication of the poor performances he has been putting in.
This trip is likely to be short of his optimum, having not run over such a sharp trip since his hurdling debut back in 2010.
The smaller obstacles could well see him discover his zest for racing though, having gone unbeaten in his season over hurdles, disposing of the likes of Sire De Grugy, Rock on Ruby and Cue Card.
The only horse likely to be a similar price in the contest is Rebecca Curtis' Royal Boy who is back after nearly two years off.
The eight-year-old has a fair bit to find on ratings, but with just five runs under rules, including a Grade 1 victory over Josses Hill there is likely to be more improving forthcoming, whether that is first time out remains to be seen though.
The quintet is completed by a pair of youngsters from John Ferguson's yard.
Commissioned was fourth in the grade 1 four-year-old hurdle at Aintree last year, and while he has four wins over obstacles to his name he was found lacking when upped to Listed and Graded level last term.
Instead the big danger to Simonsig, and probably the horse that can be most relied upon in this contest is Purple Bay.
A winner of the Elite Hurdle at Wincanton on this weekend 12 months ago, the six-year-old has to give 4lbs to his four opponents, but could be primed to take advantage of any rustiness of his foes.
Last seen chasing home Faugheen in the Christmas Hurdle the Dubawi gelding has returned from break with plenty of gusto in the past.
Including that victory in the West Country, his record when returning from a break of three months or more reads 122.
His handler is flying at the moment with 11 of his 19 runners in the past fortnight at least making the places.
Purple Bay probably will need a career best to get anywhere near if the jolly returns in a similar standard to that of when he was last seen, but he was certainly an improving type last season.
Whatever the outcome on Saturday, we will learn an awful lot more about what the 2015-16 campaign holds for some formerly top-class horses.
Eight races are shown live on Channel 4 on Saturday and Ladbrokes will give you your losing stake back as a free bet, should your horse finish second in any of those contests! Click here for all the T&Cs.

IUCN STATUS (2010) - NEAR THREATENED
Distribution and Numbers
The rarest fur seal, and only species of Arctocephalus found north of the equator, the Guadalupe fur seal breeds on Isla de Guadalupe and Isla Benito del Este off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. Individuals are also occasionally sighted as far south as Tapachula near the Mexico / Guatemala border, as far north as the Point Reyes National Seashore in California, and in the Gulf of California. There are estimated to be about 7,000 Guadalupe fur seals, the population increasing as it recovers from heavy exploitation.

Guadalupe fur seals were nearly wiped out by intensive commercial sealing in the late 1700s and early 1800s. They disappeared from southern Californian waters by 1825 and continued to be hunted commercially in Mexican waters until 1894. Their pre-exploitation range may have extended from the Mexican Revillagigedo Islands north to Monterey Bay in California, and they may have had breeding colonies on the Californian San Miguel and San Nicolas Islands. It is thought that there could have been 20,000 - 100,000 Guadalupe fur seals prior to their commercial exploitation.
Phillip Colla Wildlife Photography The species was considered extinct after most of the population was killed in 1928 but it was rediscovered in 1954. The Guadalupe fur seal is now fully protected by Mexican national legislation, the Isla de Guadalupe having been declared a pinniped sanctuary in 1975. It is protected in the U.S. portion of its range by Californian law, as a Threatened species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, and as a Depleted and Strategic species under the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act. The species is also listed as Near Treatened on the IUCN Red List and as an Appendix I species under CITES.
Some Guadalupe fur seals may be killed by entanglement in drift and set gillnets but there is insufficient data on this problem. Individuals, especially juvenile females, have also been found stranded with injuries caused by entanglement in marine debris. There was a 33% pup mortality in 1992 due to El Nino and Hurricane "Darby" but it is not yet known how the population was affected by the 1997-1998 El Nino event.
The Guadalupe fur seal is one of the least-studied of all the fur seal species, due partly to its geographical isolation. However it is known that Guadalupe fur seals breed at rocky sites or in caves on the eastern coast of Isla de Guadalupe, adult males fighting to form territories where there will be an average of 4, but up to 12, females. The females start arriving at the breeding sites in June and give birth to a pup within a few days of their arrival. Pups are born from early June to early August with a black coat, similar to the adult coat which is dark brown to black with light tan hairs on the back of the neck. About 7-8 days after the birth of her pup the mother mates and then leaves to feed at sea. This begins a cycle, lasting about 8-9 months, where she will spend an average of 9-13 days at sea before returning to land to nurse her pup for an average of 5-6 days. These feeding and nursing durations are long compared to other eared seals.
Guadalupe fur seals do not migrate. They are known to feed on squid and fish such as myctophids and mackerel. Research on a group of adult females showed them to be feeding in the California Current south of Isla de Guadalupe, making round trips of 704 - 4,092km (average 2,375km). One of the females was found to be diving, almost entirely at night, to an average depth of 17m for an average duration of about 2.5 minutes. Sharks are known to prey on Guadalupe fur seals.
The average adult male measures 2.2m in length and weighs 188kg, while the average adult female is smaller at 1.5m in length and 49kg in weight. It is not known how long Guadalupe fur seals can live, but it is thought that males may live over 13 years while females may live up to 23 years.
