Driver Gets SUV Stuck on Shoulder of Highway 39 During Pursuit, Ends Up in Custody

MOUNTAINS - An SUV stolen out of the Rose Hills Mortuary Wednesday was recovered, but not before the suspect evaded authorities up into the Azusa mountains.
The chase began at 4:37 p.m. May 15 from Rose Hills, 3888 Workman Mill Rd. Sheriff's deputies gave chase, but decided to cancel the pursuit to handle other emergency calls, according to Lt. Robert Westphal of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Pico Rivera Station.
West Covina police officers soon gave chase and followed the suspect mostly north on Azusa Avenue where the suspect drove around stopped traffic by using a sidewalk and front yard.
The chase entered Azusa where the driver drove through an empty lot on the southeast corner of Foothill Boulevard and Azusa Avenue, drove over a sidewalk and accessed northbound Azusa Avenue again to the San Gabriel Mountains.
In a bizarre twist, the driver used the rough right shoulder of northbound San Gabriel Canyon Road to bypass wide-open road. The SUV's tires spun wildly over the right shoulder until the SUV became stuck on the terrain.
The driver surrendered to West Covina Police without further incident.
Pursuit Over Stolen Comic Books, Car Lands L.A. Man Behind Bars Thursday
BALDWIN PARK – A suspect allegedly possessing stolen comic books and a stolen car was arrested Thursday morning after fleeing CHP officers at superhero speed.
Timogene David Guillen, 25, was arrested on his birthday in Bellflower on Alondra Boulevard west of Eucalyptus Avenue after stopping for officers who pursued him from Diamond Bar, said Public Information Officer Rodrigo Jimenez with the California Highway Patrol Baldwin Park Office.
Guillen allegedly refused to stop for the CHP after he was witnessed driving at high speed on the westbound 60 freeway at Grand Avenue around 1:33 a.m. January 3.
Guillen, followed by CHP cruisers and a helicopter, sped along freeways behind the wheel of a stolen Nissan Maxima, at times in excess of 130 miles per hour, according to CHP radio traffic.
After transitioning to the southbound 605 freeway, Guillen exited onto Alondra Boulevard where he eventually surrendered in Bellflower.
"Upon inventory of the Nissan, officers located a large quantity of collectible comic books and determined that both the comic books and the vehicle had been stolen," Jimenez said.
Guillen was booked at the Inmate Reception Center in Los Angeles on suspicion of felony evading, possession of a stolen vehicle, grand theft and receiving stolen property.

WHITTIER – A masked man darted out of a pickup truck and made off with a family's stroller left out on the front porch February 19.
The burglary was caught on camera, occurring around 2:30 a.m. in the 10800 block of Pounds Avenue. A thin man in a dark t-shirt and dark pants ran up to the front porch and took the stroller. He wore a surgical mask.
Anyone with information on this theft, is urged to call Whittier Police Detective Bobadilla at 562-567-9283 or the Whittier Police crime tip line at 562-567-9299.


The Czech Republic is benefiting from the economic recovery in Western Europe (more specifically, the European automotive market) and has been upgraded to A3.
Vietnam, upgraded to B, is seeing an acceleration in private consumption due to low inflation and improved consumer confidence. External risk has been reduced, the current account is in surplus and exchange reserves are improving.
Canada's A1 country assessment has been placed under negative watch, given the consequences of the decline in oil prices on investment, the risks weighing on the property sector and the context of negative growth during Q1 2015.
Algeria's A4 assessment has also been placed on negative watch. The decline in oil prices has had a negative impact on public accounts and the country's current account. If prices do not pick up, activity in the country is set to remain sluggish.
Gabon's B assessment has been placed on negative watch. The country's high dependence on oil is set to result in a slowdown in economic activity to 4% in 2015 (compared to an average of 5.4% in recent years).
Finally, the economy in Madagascar is suffering from continued political instability. Its C assessment has also been placed under negative watch.
Placed under negative watch in January 2015, China's assessment has been downgraded to A4. The country's level of private debt is increasing, primarily because of companies. It stood at 207% of GDP in 2014, compared to 130% in 2008 (according to the IMF). This level is considered worrying and is far higher than the levels noted in other emerging countries. As such, the solvency of companies in fragile sectors could be affected. The cement, chemicals and steel segments associated with infrastructure spending are weakened by their overcapacity.

COVER REVEAL for The Prince of Steel Pier by Stacy Nockowitz
February 14, 2022 February 13, 2022 ~ bookvillageadmin
Kathie: Welcome to MG Book Village, Stacy! I'm so thrilled to be part of the cover reveal for your MG debut novel, The Prince of Steel Pier, which is set for release September 1st from Kar-Ben. I'd love to hear more about it, please?
Stacy: Sure! THE PRINCE OF STEEL PIER takes place in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in the summer of 1975. The book follows Joey Goodman, a thoughtful, anxious 13-year-old, who feels like he doesn't have a place in his big, boisterous Jewish family. He's sure that his parents, his grandparents, and his three brothers see him as kind of a wimp. If only he could prove to them, and to himself, that he's strong and tough, maybe they'd stop treating him with kid gloves. One day on the A.C. Boardwalk, Joey stands up for himself to a group of men who turn out to be gangsters. They're so impressed with him that their leader, Artie Bishop, the so-called king of Steel Pier, offers Joey a job. Artie and his crew make Joey feel like he has a place to belong, that he's "one of the guys." But Joey soon learns that working for Artie puts his whole family in danger. He must decide where he truly belongs, and where strength can really be found. It's a story about the bonds of family, self-discovery, and finding strength within yourself.
Kathie: I know that you worked on this book with Amanda Rawson Hill and Cindy Baldwin as part of Pitch Wars. Can you tell us a bit about that process and how the book changed from its original concept?
Stacy: I knew next to nothing about writing and publishing a book when I submitted to Pitch Wars. When Amanda and Cindy chose my manuscript, you could've knocked me over with a feather. But they are the most amazing mentors anyone could ask for. My first edit letter was about six pages long, but while they were giving me plenty to chew on, they were also incredibly positive and supportive of the book. They encouraged me to fully explore the themes of the book and to round out the characters. They taught me about three-act plot structure and hitting writing beats- things I'd never heard about before working with them. The book itself has not changed too much, but it is so much richer and more nuanced now than it was when I submitted it to them.
Kathie: I'd love to know more about your main character and the inspiration for him?
Stacy: I've been a middle school teacher and librarian for thirty years, and Joey is an amalgamation of lots of students I've known through the years. I wanted Joey to be smart, but not brilliant, kind but not sugary sweet. He's the kid who doesn't speak up much in class but who does his work and gets along with almost everyone. But at home, he's got three brothers with strong personalities, and he feels like his voice just isn't heard. Joey feels out of place in his family because he's not as charming as Reuben or as bold as Simon or as captivating as Ben. What he doesn't realize is that he has so many wonderful inner strengths. He learns that over the course of the novel. Creating characters is one of my favorite things about writing. I like to imagine the kind of kid I wish I'd been and write characters that way!
Kathie: What would you like our readers to know about your book?
Stacy: The book takes place at the fictional St. Bonaventure Hotel, but when I was little, my grandparents actually owned a kosher hotel on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City called the St. Charles. Much of the setting for THE PRINCE OF STEEL PIER is based on my memories of all the time I spent down the Jersey Shore with my family, especially at the hotel and on the Boardwalk. There's a scene at the very end of the book where Joey's grandfather shows him an old St. Bonaventure postcard, and his family members are all in the pictures on the postcard. That postcard is real! I have a St. Charles Hotel postcard from about 1967 that features me and my family members at the hotel, and readers will be able to see it with my Author's Note in THE PRINCE OF STEEL PIER. I didn't know any gangsters though- I swear!
Kathie: Who are the illustrators behind the cover and did you have any involvement in it?
Stacy: I absolutely LOVE my cover! The very talented artist's name is Alisha Monin, and as soon as I saw her artwork on her website, I was blown away! I'm grateful that Kar-Ben encouraged my involvement in every step of the cover design. They asked me what I envisioned for the cover and I was able to give feedback and input throughout the design process. I think the final cover is just perfect!
Kathie: OK, let's show everyone what it looks like!!
Kathie: Oh wow, I love the way the hands add that menacing feel! What did you think when you first saw the cover?
Stacy: At first I wasn't sure how I felt about the hands. In the first go-round, I thought they made the cover look a bit too much like it was a horror novel. Now, I think the hands are amazing! Just menacing enough! And that IS Joey standing there. Alisha captured him perfectly. I always wanted Skee-Ball to be featured on the cover because Skee-Ball is important to the plot of the story. Alisha drew the game just as I remember it from my childhood days at the Boardwalk arcades I frequented.
Kathie: Where can our readers go to find out more about you and your writing?
Stacy: They can go to my website at www.stacynockowitz.com, and follow me on Twitter @snockowitz.
Kathie: Thanks so much for joining me today, Stacy. I'm really looking forward to reading your book.
Stacy: Thank you so much, Kathie! I hope all of your readers will enjoy THE PRINCE OF STEEL PIER when it comes out in September!

HomeBusinessSharing Economy-Now In The Form Of Huge Localities
Sharing Economy-Now In The Form Of Huge Localities
By Deepak
The world is facing huge challenges from the sharing economy in the manner they are spreading slowly all around the world. Rarely, the people are interested to go with the conventional pattern of the economy, the new trend has influenced so much, that they are not ready to give up at any cost. The world has been facing huge changes in the form of ups and downs in the entire economy pattern due to the sharing economy. But, the areas that use sharing economy is again appreciated by the citizens using the facilities.
EXAMPLES OF TOP AREAS OF SHARING ECONOMY
The peer to peer platform has been greatly increased with the introduction of the sharing economies. The places where the sharing economies have spread include the following:
Transportation- these include bicycles like Bixi, Valenbisi, and Bike Share Toronto. The rides are also made with Uber, Carma, GoTogether. The car drives are made by Zipcar, DriveNow, LocalMOtion.
Space and accommodations- these include a variety of examples. There are sharing backyards under garden services, Vancouver Cohousing under the sector of Housing. The short-term accommodations include sectors like Couchsurfing, VRBO, Xiaozhu.
Business travel-this includes the Airnb business travel.
Social media-There are also platforms that deal with the social media. The videos include the platform the Netflix.
Utilities-The utilities are in the form of the solar energy. Electricity uses tee platform of Vanderbron.
There are some other platforms as well that make the use of thelifestyle in sharing economy.
BENEFITS OF SHARING ECONOMY
There are many benefits of sharing economy which include the following:
The decreased number of goods and the resources that are needed in the sharing economy is a benefit.
The communities have been strengthened.
The borrowed and the recycled items that are used in sharing economy are needed to meet up the lowering consumer costs.
It is beneficial to build an inspiration in people's minds to access the online services at very affordable rates.
The monetary barriers have been completely removed by the introduction of the sharing economy.
It has also emphasized on the sustainable consumption.
The quality of the services has also been increased by the use of the ratings people provide to theonline services.
The working hours that are involved in sharing economy is too compatible with
There is uniqueness in every event that is held for the survey of the sharing economy.
City streaming projects-
Vancouver is a perfect place where the sharing economy movement was too highlighted. The conversations that were held at Vancouver discovered a positive impact of the sharing economy. The reason for the growth of the sharing economy in Vancouver has been due to the trust, a strengthened relationship and also eases to access of the resources. The collaborative consumption that is built here is too easy to be processed and also has been thought to boost the future economic standards of the city. Moreover, this is too profitable because here the sharing can be preferred because the views of the people are already known.
In the Vancouver meeting, it was also clearly assessed as to how these activities canis a perfect one for the sustainable development with the use of minimum resources.
Significance- This project had become a significant one because this has been the first researchin CA. the aim was to analyze the actual goals of sharing economy concepts,measuring the share assets at the city. Finally, it was concluded that in the city of Vancouver, a type of the earliest barter system was followed. This was done in a light fashion involving the exchangeof extremely smaller goods.
Cohousing-This is a strategy that involves a smaller group of people involving not more than about 35 houses. The amenity Vancouver housing is a smaller region that has a wide land involving offices, multipurpose rooms, laundries, workshop, music room and almost the set up of a whole society.
This type of a project was made with the intention of organizing a land perfectly well and then selling at a high profit. But the intention was not up to the expectations.
So the people of the city is hoping for something better in terms of providing the services like child care, shared meals services and many others.
This type of project is not only familiar in Vancouver, rather is also prevailing in Toronto. The fashion of a collaborative society is little different. Here rather, different levels of the Government have been marked in reference to the sharing economy.
Some of such examples include the prominent ones like the International; Security Justice takes theidea of Crowdsourcing visa and the Information relating to immigration.
This economy deals with the setting up of connections to employ more people and is a greater scope to those who are unemployed. There is also a scope for creating the economic benefits. The incentive that is given to the work is that the employment will be about less than 40 hours a week to increase the sharing of Jobs.
The Government was assigned to carry out theoperations like the provision for education, allocation of resources and also an arrangement for the freelancers.
Demands from Government- in Toronto the topic that was raised with reference to the government was that Government has to provide a large support in terms of the Education, maintain the role of the mediator between supporter and the innovations. The Government has also been assigned a responsibility to provide such means that will improve the standards of the sharing economy but curbing down the ill impacts.
Ottawa-
The discussion that was held at Ottawa focussed on the idea of placing a belief in the Government in Terms that the Government needs to take care of the aspects of the sharing economy. It must support newer individuals who would like to try for an opportunity in the Sharing economy. Moreover, newer transitions were demanded from the Government in terms of new businesses and also introducing the internal services.
So, two examples were more than enough to give us a sense that how people are crazy about this economic pattern that they are trying to transform locations into forms that can be fully based on sharing economy. In some regions, they have proved to be the most profitable means to earn a livelihood. So, in the coming future, we can expect only for facing more improvements in this economy.

January 29 — 2:09 pm, 2018
District leaders tell City Council how they deal with school hazards
They explained some mistakes made in lead-stabilization efforts.
Philadelphia School District officials appeared before City Council last week to outline how they are improving communication with principals, parents, and school communities as they ramp up efforts to address environmental hazards — including lead, mold, and asbestos — in their aging buildings.
Also at the hearing were parents and union staff who are part of the Philly Healthy Schools Initiative, a coalition of activists and parents that drew attention to inadequate procedures and shoddy cleanup during lead-stabilization efforts, which led the District to redo the work in those schools.
Danielle Floyd, the chief operating officer of the District, told Council members that the average age of the District's buildings is 70 years, with dozens constructed before the 1978 federal ban on lead-based paints. She explained that the District already requires paint and plaster inspections as part of the federally mandated annual asbestos reports.
Floyd said that they have completed work at Patterson, Mitchell, Harrington, Sheppard, Bregy, and Olney Elementary Schools. Work is underway in 17 others, she said, and a total of 46 schools have been selected for work to be completed by the end of the summer.
The schools are chosen based on whether they were built before 1978, have significant evidence of loose paint or plaster, and are occupied by children age 6 and under.
But after staff and parents with the Healthy Schools Initiative discovered dust containing lead particles in many rooms in several schools where the project and cleanup were supposedly complete, the District agreed to do it over, using new protocols. And experts from the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers (PFT) and the coalition are now helping with inspections.
"We have learned a great deal from our experience at the first 17 schools," Floyd said. "We will apply these lessons to inform our remediation planning moving forward."
Testimony from the Healthy Schools Initiative
Jerry Roseman is an environmental scientist who inspects school buildings for the PFT. He took the dust samples at Andrew Jackson Elementary School as part of his work with the Healthy Schools Initiative and explained in written testimony how "there was too little coordination and communication with parents and school staff" until lead paint particles were found due to poor quality cleanup work.
Roseman was left out of the process at first, but said that the District has been involving him since he took the dust samples at Jackson.
"The District moving quickly to address the issues with lead in these schools is laudable," he said. "But haste can make waste, and we ended up with additional contamination." He is urging more active cooperation with the PFT in prioritizing, planning, and executing these facilities projects from now on.
In response to questions from City Councilman Mark Squilla, officials outlined in extensive detail how they now examine all rooms for lead paint residue, instead of just rooms where asbestos is present.
And the workers now clean up more thoroughly. Instead of simply putting down plastic drop sheets and throwing them out afterward, workers now clean every surface of dust before and after the stabilization work.
The District has sent a letter to Council members outlining how it will communicate with school communities and has established a hotline phone number for people to call if they have concerns about work at their school, said Councilwoman Helen Gym.
Floyd said that in the future, letters will be sent home with students, notices will be left in staff mailboxes, and staff will receive emails about stabilization and cleanup projects.
Responding to questions from Councilman Derek Green, Floyd said that, as part of the communications initiative, the District will take the lead role, rather than leaving it to principals.
"We relied way too heavily on principals in order to communicate," Floyd said. "Now we'll be taking the lead on putting all communications together around the project … making sure not only principals, but all stakeholders in this project feel informed."
Parent Laurie Mazer of Jackson School said a standard communication protocol is crucial "so we can make sure they are truly doing this right in every school, not just the ones with loud, angry parents."
"It's far better to be transparent about what work is being done and why it's being done," she said. "PFT expert staff aren't only the eyes and ears for teachers; they're the eyes and ears for all of us."
District and PFT staff found 10 schools with "minor" problems. Three others had "major" problems: Nebinger, Jackson and A.S. Jenks Elementary Schools.
The project uses a combination of District in-house painting staff and contractors from the firm Pepper Environmental Services. Of the three schools that had major problems, Nebinger and A.S. Jenks were handled by Pepper, and Jackson was handled by District painters.
Floyd said that the District maintains standards and that contractors cannot bill for re-doing any work that was not done adequately.
Lack of staff and accessible data
Councilwoman Gym said she was concerned that vacancies among cleaning staff in the buildings and maintenance staff at District headquarters could be contributing factors to some of the problems.
"We've got a number of vacancies, which create gaps within schools in terms of people's ability to communicate effectively," Gym said. "I think that's contributing to the sense of why parents are so frustrated."
She worries that issues that otherwise might be picked up by custodial staff are falling through the cracks instead.
District officials confirmed that 9 percent of the 1,180 facilities positions (building engineers, custodians, etc.) were unfilled and 22 percent of the 253 maintenance positions were unfilled — painters, electricians, plumbers and other specialized crafts working out of District headquarters.
The District has begun an apprenticeship program so that it can recruit its own graduates into some of these jobs and has sent staff to five job fairs this school year.
"It's so important for young people to see a direct line between their training and employment down the road," Gym said, applauding the effort. But she said it would take more than that. "It still feels like there needs to be a creative and aggressive approach towards the Human Resources division to make sure that your job is a lot easier."
Last fall, the Healthy Schools Initiative sought environmental data through a right-to-know request that was not entirely fulfilled, according to David Masur, executive director of Penn Environment and a central organizer of the initiative.
Members of the initiative wanted the raw school-level data behind the District's 2015 Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA), which would show each reported problem in every room in the District. They expected to get access to a live database. Instead, they were given a snapshot of the most recent data. He said in an email that the District provided nine out of 10 of the data sets the initiative sought.
"This was somewhat helpful, but not ideal like a living database," Masur said in an email. The initiative wants access to the databases that are "updated regularly, so that we don't have to file right-to-know requests daily," as new data come in from schools.
District spokesman Lee Whack said the District satisfied the right-to-know request, acknowledging that an appeal was filed by the Public Interest Law Center, which is part of the initiative.
Robin Roberts, a parent and organizer with Parents United who testified at the hearing, said: "All data should automatically be available to parents, taxpayers, and teachers."
Council questions District representatives
Floyd was clear that the procedural mistakes made are not consistent problems across all facilities projects — a point that was confirmed by several City Council members who complimented the District on smaller-scale work done at specific schools in their Council districts. In those cases, they said, the school community was kept informed and the quality of work was adequate.
For example, after a 1st grader at Comly got lead poisoning, the District conducted that lead-stabilization work differently.
"We notified the school community three times," Floyd said. "The assistant superintendent actually attended a parent meeting … along with our medical director to answer questions about what occurred at the school."
Councilwoman Cherelle Parker complimented the District's recent work, but nevertheless demanded answers on whether contractors are held to high standards, citing Pepper. The firm has collected at least $1 million from the District over the last two years for doing asbestos and mold abatement work, according to SRC resolutions.
The District relied on the firm for some major environmental cleanups, including asbestos abatement at the old Samuel Fels High School and the former John L. Kinsey Elementary, as well as the mold abatement at the beginning of this school year at Muñoz-Marin Elementary.
"We often and frequently call on them when we have large-scale environmental clean-ups," Floyd said. "Earlier in the year, we had major issues with mold at J.B. Kelly. Pepper is who we utilized to do the remediation."
In the fall of 2016, the firm received a $786,829 contract from the SRC for asbestos abatement at the old Fels High School building. In early 2017, Pepper received a contract for $184,711 to conduct asbestos abatement in the auditorium of the former Kinsey Elementary. Pepper conducted mold remediation at Muñoz-Marin Elementary for $305,000 after a mold outbreak there last summer. In December 2017, they received part of a $350,000 contract amendment with several other contractors.
When pushed on whether the District would continue to work with Pepper in the future, Floyd said only that "we certainly always retain the right not to use them."
Although Parker didn't want to "single out" Pepper, she suggested the District keep a record of all complaints connected to contractors' work.
"Given some of the heavy loads the taxpayers are going to bear in the future, we have a right to ask for that accountability."

I think it is, because I tried to install a gem with sudo.
Is there a way to fix it, without the reinstallation from macOS?
Thanks

A: I had the same error and fixed it as follows.
sudo chmod a+r /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0/*.gemspec
You most probably ran sudo gem install with read permission turned off for others. Try umask 22 next time you run gem install and see if that helps.

Q: Multiple DatagramSocket on same port, only first gets traffic I created a java server that listens on a specific port for udp packets, it creates a new thread with a new datagramsocket bound to that port when a packet is received, so if it gets 10 packets on that port it creates 10 threads with new sockets bound to the same port.
The problem is that although new threads and sockets are created, only the first socket created receives all the traffic, the other threads/sockets keep listening without getting any traffic.
That single thread alone doesnt keep up with the traffic and some packets are lost
Im testing this with address localhost and jmeter udp plugin

A: A datagram socket is like a server socket; only one bound instance per host.
UDP is lossy by design (by the nw and by the slow destinations not reading fast enough) but with a perfect app you can expect MB/s on localhost, perhaps even on LAN, but not that fast on WAN or with a limited app.
Most UDP apps will have a fast listener to just avoid os level losses from overflows (no java control over buffer space there) and COPY (not share the byte array, be careful) the datagram to queues in the app which can be tuned for depth at will, and a pool of worker threads taking from such queue.

This feature provides an example of where hydraulic bedrock frost heave appears to have taken place beneath a cold-based glacier.
The purpose of this Illustrative Feature 2 (IF-02) is to demonstrate that large-scale bedrock frost heave has taken place under cold-based glacial ice at a specific location on the Isthmus of Avalon, Newfoundland. This feature, along with IF-01 and others to follow in the Illustrative Features series, will help build the case that a local area exceeding 1 sq. km was affected by abundant and widespread hydraulic frost heave occurring under thick cold-based ice cover. The overriding theory is that the affected area was located near the edge of a steep polythermal glacier that developed along the spine of the Isthmus of Avalon as rapid deglaciation gave way to an abrupt onset of cold-climate conditions.
IF-02 consists of a large joint block, fully dislodged from an underlying cavity in bedrock, as well as the cavity itself and the geometry of the overall layout.
The two photos above show the surroundings of the frost-heaved joint block IF-02. The feature of interest (IF-02) is located at the exact center of the frame in the second photo. The first photo shows IF-02, along with another frost-heaved bedrock formation located below the arrow at the left of the field of view. The distance between the two arrows is 40 m. The lake in the background is 500 m east of IF-02 and at an elevation 70 m lower. IF-02 lies 310 m SSW of Illustrative Feature IF-01 presented previously.
The foregrounds of both photos above show bedrock smoothed by basal-slip glacial erosion giving way to plucked bedrock. The plucking reveals failure planes following both longitudinal cleavage (facing the camera) and cross jointing (at right angles to the cleavage). The rock fragments dislodged by plucking have remained close to their original source. The bedrock is schistose volcanic rock (metasomatized tuff and ignimbrite).
The above photos show two views of the frost-heaved bedrock formation lying 40 m north of IF-02 (under left arrow in picture appearing previously). The tallest joint block reaches 1.1 m above ground level. One of the joint blocks in the cluster (rightmost block, second photo) has been completely dislodged from the underlying bedrock and is aligned toward the direction of ice flow in this area.
The above picture looks south, with the dislodged frost-heaved joint block IF-02 in the foreground. Note the large (more than 3 m high) slab of rock that has been levered outward from the small hill in the background. This type of feature is common in the immediate area and demonstrates glacial plucking where the plucked rock is shifted only a very short distance from point of origin (see also IF-03).
Four views of the dislodged joint block from different directions are shown above. The third (bottom, left) photo shows the former top surface of the joint block (recognized by the etched longitudinal cleavage) facing the camera.
The two photos above show scale. The hammer is 27 cm long. The measuring tape reads 44 cm at the point where it bends over the rock.
The distinctive shape of the north (bottom in above photo) end of the cavity from which the block was dislodged makes it straightforward to determine the original fit of the block into the cavity and hence to see how the block was shifted. The photo below compares a side view of the block with a top view of the cavity.
The photos and video below show the shift in the position of the joint block following initial frost heave and leading to the block's final toppled and displaced position.
The digitally reconstructed image on the left was made by copying and rotating a side view of the dislodged joint block and then pasting the rotated section onto the view shown on the right. The three small colored symbols, green triangle, magenta rectangle, cyan asterisk, show the changes in positions of the corners of the block. Note that the block retreats from the camera as it tilts. The video below shows a two-frame animation of the positional shift depicted in the still photos above.
As illustrated above, the frost-heave/glacial process that displaced the joint block moved it first upward out of the surrounding bedrock and then moved it southward. A significant part of the block's total motion can be attributed to the sole action of gravity as the block tilted over to lie flat on the ground. The upward motion of the block can be attributed to conventional frost heave. It is the southward motion that requires the presence of moving glacial ice to combine with frost heave and gravity to yield the block's final position. An overhead view of the arrangement is shown below.
The diagram above provides an overhead view of the layout of the frost-heaved bedrock feature. The diagram was drawn in correspondence with the preceding overhead photo. The dimensions shown on the diagram are approximate and are distorted by perspective because of the relatively low altitude from which the overhead photo was taken. Block-A measured 2.0 m (left to right on diagram) by 1.45 m (top to bottom on diagram). The estimated weight of Block-A was 2500 kg. Block-B is a frost-heaved joint block that was not fully dislodged from bedrock. Block-C appears to be a piece that detached from the up-facing surface of Block-A and was then shifted by the action of ice or gravity.
The two asterisks both mark the position of the upper north-east corner of block-A. The top asterisk on the diagram shows initial position prior to frost heave while the bottom asterisk shows final position. The measured depth of the hole was 102 cm, but peat, vegetation and broken rock interfered with the measurement. The measured length of the hole was 2.0 m. The indicated direction of ice flow (255 deg. true) matches the direction measured in the local neighborhood (see IF-01) and also matches the direction measured from striations at this (IF-02) site. A photo showing the striations appears below.
In the above photo, striations made by basal-slip glacial erosion can be seen in the bedrock just left of the end of the gap nearest the camera and terminating at the gap. If the frost-heave and subsequent shifting of the dislodged block by ice motion occurred under cold-based glacial conditions, the striations suggest that the transition from basal-slip ice motion to creep-only ice motion did not involve a significant change in glacier flow direction at this location. Similar observations nearby support this theory (see IF-01).
The orange balls seen in the above photo mark the expected position of the north edge of the large displaced joint block, had it simply toppled over. The distance from the expected position of this edge to the actual position is about 1 m. It is difficult to explain this horizontal motion without assuming the presence of moving glacial ice. The ground at the IF-02 site is level and ice flowing across this location would encounter a nearby downslope of just a few metres, before moving upward 30 m to crest a ridge. Because of the rugged, steeply sloping and variable topography of the immediate area, any ice sheet crossing IF-02 in the direction indicated would necessarily be at least several 10's of metres thick. Ice thickness in excess of 10 metres precludes any thermally-driven frost heave process (for example, ice segregation) that would exploit seasonal temperature gradients. This leaves hydraulic frost heave as the preferred explanation for the displacement of the joint block seen in IF-02.

Grosser Sekt – great sparkling wine from Gumpoldskirchen in Austria
Kamptal winemaker Fred Loimer has been producing internationally renowned sparkling wines since 2013. In 2018, he launched his first Grosse Reserve Blanc de Blancs from Langenlois. Now follows the Grosse Reserve Blanc de Noirs from Gumpoldskirchen.

Vienna, 28th September 2021
According to the Austrian wine law, a Grosse Reserve Sekt (grand reserve sparkling wine) must age on its lees for three years. But it is up to five years for Fred Loimer, who cultivates, in addition to the vineyards in his home town of Langenlois in the northern Kamptal region, also vineyards in Gumpoldskirchen in the Thermenregion southwest of Vienna. There, at the foot of the 700-meter-high Anninger mountain, are growing the biodynamic Pinot Noir grapes for the Gumpoldskirchen Grosse Reserve Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature, whose premiere is being celebrated with the 2016 vintage. Marine sediments of clay and sand with alpine limestone gravel characterise this second great sparkling wine from the house of Loimer, which is on equal par with the Langenlois Große Reserve Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature 2016. This Blanc de Blancs just recently captured the "Best Sparkling Wine of Austria" title at the Salon Austria Wine. And now, over the last days, the two sparkling wines were presented to international professionals, and were accompanied by Loimer's Brut Rosé Reserve, NV and Extra Brut Reserve, NV. The latter was awarded a gold medal by the British wine consumer magazine, Decanter, in 2020. Says Sascha Speicher, editor-in-chief of Germany's Meiningers Sommelier magazine and the special edition of Champagne Magazin: "Fred Loimer is one of the leading minds for the new, exciting Austrian sparkling wine world. Dust-dry, sophisticated, and craftsmanship at the highest level. From Blanc de Blancs to Rosé." The Gumpoldskirchen Grosse Reserve Blanc de Noirs 2016 is available now at the Loimer winery and online shop for € 35. It is also available at well-stocked specialist stores.
For Fred Loimer, time and precision are the most important ingredients for a great sparkling wine, which for him encompasses complexity, depth, saltiness and freshness. Time was given to the Gumpoldskirchen Grosse Reserve by a precise point of harvest; in the challenging year of 2016, this was at the end of September. After hand-picking and whole bunch pressing, the spontaneous fermentation lasted two to four weeks, depending on the wooden barrel. The base wine was subsequently matured in these on the full lees for seven months and on the fine lees in steel tanks for a further three months. In September 2017, the wine was bottled for the second fermentation and after 43 months was disgorged in April 2021. Fred Loimer recommends a further ageing period of up to three years.
In the top international culinary sphere. Loimer's sparkling wines are in demand particularly in top Scandinavian and American restaurants. Among these are the Michelin-starred Kontrast in Oslo and Speilsalen in Trondheim. And at Hotel at Six in Stockholm, Selma in Copenhagen, Seks Café in Copenhagen, and – also in Denmark – Kosken pa Odden. Loimer sparklings are imbibed also at SOMM and Grand Hotel Kempinski Vilnius in Lithuania, Restaurant Publique in The Hague, Aberdeen Marina Club and Hapi Fish in Hong Kong, and Wallsé in New York.
Tasting the Gumpoldskirchen Grosse Reserve Blanc de Noirs 2016: "Really Blanc – different from many other Blanc de Noirs; a very fresh but not necessarily fruity aroma, some red apple, lots of almond, walnut, tarragon, pistachio, very fine herbal spice and a light flintiness; has good punch; also a gentle tartness and gripping texture; animated but also demanding with its tart bite; the chalky texture adds tension to the individual parts," says Sascha Speicher, Editor-in-Chief of Meiningers Sommelier magazine in Germany.
Weingut Loimer. Since 2013, Fred Loimer has been producing sparkling wines in addition to his internationally renowned Rieslings, Grüner Veltliners and Pinot Noirs. The sparklings account for about 15 percent of Loimer's total production and are sold in 22 of his 55 export countries – and the trend is growing. The dedicated biodynamicist cultivates a total of 85 hectares of vines around his hometown of Langenlois, which is in the Kamptal region, and on the completely different (climatically and geologically) eastern slopes of the Vienna Woods in Gumpoldskirchen. The Kamptal is marked by harsh northerly winds, hot days and cool nights, and soils of loess, gneiss, sandstone, gravel and clay. In Gumpoldskirchen, it is warm and dry as this region, located southwest of Vienna, is under strong Pannonian influence. The nearby Vienna Woods provide oxygen-rich air and soils consisting of sandy loam, loamy clay, calcareous brown earth and limestone gravel. Fred Loimer is a founding member of the biodynamic winegrowers' group, respekt-BIODYN, and his winery has been biodynamically certified since 2006.
Austrian Sekt g.U. (geschützter Ursprungsbezeichnung – 'Protected Designation of Origin'. In 2015, the three-tiered Sekt (sparkling wine) pyramid was created in the wine law. The entry-level category, Sekt g.U. Klassik, stands for nine months of ageing and freshness, and the grapes must come from Austria. The top two levels, Reserve & Grosse Reserve, are dominated by bottle-fermented (traditional method) estate sparkling wines: Sekt g.U. Reserve requires hand-harvested grapes from a single Austrian state, traditional bottle fermentation, and 18 months of ageing on the lees. The grapes for Sekt g.U. Grosse Reserve must come from a single municipality and must be hand-harvested. Also mandatory for this category are traditional bottle fermentation and at least three years of ageing on the lees.

The Miracle Soil
The soil thinks. It feels. And it is intelligent. It contains the consciousness of the earth! This isn't just a philosophical approach to the most important resource of humans and animals. It can be observed in nature.
Over billions of years, beginning with simple plants (mosses) and then, finally, animals formed the soil through weathered minerals. Complex processes that tell of living and dying. Soil – the basis of all life.
In a handful of healthy soil, there are billions of inhabitants, plants (soil flora) and animals (soil fauna). They ensure that new soil is formed again and again and that nutrients are available for the plants.
As respect-BIODYN farmers, what do we do to ensure that this system is not disturbed and always continues? We feed the soil life!
Green manure – The soil must always be protected. This protection is provided by plants. Diverse green cover gives shade, attracts insects and offers protection for worms and beetles. And with mowing, mineralisation and humification is triggered. Through this, new soil is formed and nutrients are made available. Clovers (legumes) pull in nitrogen from the atmosphere. Also flax (linseed), buckwheat, crimson clover, marigold, cornflower and other plants provide a wonderful landscape that is attractive not only to insects.
Compost – comprised of organic material from the surrounding environment. Shrub and grass cuttings, and dung from horses, sheep and cows. Also grape pomace and stalks from the vineyard. This is our self-produced fertiliser. The material matures in compost heaps for six to nine months before it is spread over the soil in autumn. The happy worms pull the mature humus together with the fallen leaves and the rotting green manures into the deeper soil layers. In autumn and winter, when plants and animals are at rest, there is much happening below the surface. It's time for the soil to build up.
Compost tea – compost bacteria are needed to support soil building and restructuring. In a special compost tea barrel, the bacteria of the mature compost are multiplied with the help of sugar (molasses), oxygen, minerals and rock flour, and then sprayed onto the soil.This improves the compost processes in the soil.
Field spray preparation 500 – the biodynamic horn manure arranges and "guides" these processes. The horn manure preparation could be described as a kind of compost concentrate enriched with the consciousness of the earth and the emotions of the farmer. While the effect cannot be measured directly, it has been proven in countless field trials in agriculture. Clearly recognisable is the more balanced growth of the vines and the achievement of healthy, physiological ripeness of the grapes.
Biodynamic Philosophy
Pruning – The Winemaker's Craft
A cold day in January. The vineyard is in hibernation. Nothing grows, nothing moves. Nothing? Well, that's not true. Between the Winter solstice in December and the meterological beginning of Spring at the beginning of March, the vine is in absolute Winter dormancy – which is why these weeks are ideal for pruning.
Reserve materials. After the grapes have ripened and been harvested, the vine still has sufficient time to store nutrients into the old wood and its root system. This guarantees an adequate maturity of the wood. That takes time – and we give it. Our vines are therefore quiet in November and December. They store reserve materials in order to be prepared for a healthy and powerful start at the beginning of May.
That's why we begin cutting in January, after the Epiphany (Feast of the Three Kings) holiday. And we want to be finished by the beginning of March at the latest. The cutting back of the shoots is the most intense vine intervention and must be done very carefully; the vine is not able to close large wounds over with tissue (callus) like, for example, an apple tree does. Large wounds remain open and dry deep into the cane, which allows the entry of fungi and diseases.
We prune only by hand, cleanly and precisely, and only one- and two-year-old wood so that the wounds stay small and dry out quickly. In addition, we leave "respect wood" – some wood over the last eye (bud) so that the natural drying process doesn't cause any damage. We try to give the cane shape and structure, and respect the natural flow of sap.
Professionals at work. We have been training our employees in "gentle pruning" since 2011. Each person prunes up to 800 vines a day.
"Gentle Pruning" – is the name of this method, which was developed in Friuli by Marco Simonit and Piercarlo Sirch. The model was based on old training systems such as Stockkultur in Austria and Albarello and Gobelet in the Mediterranean region. The knowledge and art of the old winemakers have been applied; pruning is a craft once again.
Spur/ Cordon and Spur / Bow are the variants we use for our vine pruning. Depending on the variety and vineyard site, we make careful decisions in order to find the best training method for the vines. The intensity of the "cutting back" is actually decided by the vine, because each vine has its own growth mode and the pruner must be attunded to this in order not to overwhelm or underchallenge the vine.
And the vines thank us for this. They grow more evenly, remain healthier and more resilient, and thrive to become healthy old vines. They also are known for making the best wine.

Guatemala Coup
Guatemala and the CIA
GUATEMALA 1954
On May 23, 1997 the CIA released several hundred formerly classified documents pertaining to the United States involvement in the 1954 coup in Guatemala. Although representing only a fraction of the existing government files, these records nonetheless revealed the determination of the CIA to prohibit the spread of communism to the nations of Latin America during the Cold War. Planning for American intervention in Guatemala began in 1952 when the president of Nicaragua, Anastasio Somoza, solicited U.S. assistance to overthrow the democratically elected (1950) Guatemalan leader, Jacobo Arbenz Guzman. Apprehensive of Arbenz's land reform efforts and the freedom afforded to the communist party under the current regime, President Truman authorized the shipment of weapons and money to anti-Arbenz groups. Within five weeks the operation to topple Arbenz quickly fizzled when representatives loyal to the president uncovered the plot and took steps to solidify their power.
Despite the short duration and negligible results of its first intrusion in Guatemala, the CIA found renewed support for their aggressive course of action in Latin America with the Eisenhower administration. Touting his New Look Doctrine, Eisenhower, hoping to differentiate his foreign policy from the plan to contain communism promoted by Truman, sought to defend American interests abroad with an increase in funds for nuclear weapons and covert operations. Convinced that Arbenz threatened U.S. national security because of his alleged Communist sympathies, Eisenhower approved the first-ever clandestine military action in Latin America. Codenamed PBSUCCESS, the program aimed at not only deposing Arbenz in favor of a U.S.-selected leader, but also looked to send a clear warning to the Soviets that the American government would not tolerate the spread of communism in the Western Hemisphere.
By 1953, the highly secretive PBSUCCESS had become a top priority for CIA officials. Prohibited by Eisenhower from using American troops to accomplish their goals in Guatemala, the CIA established training camps for the opposition army in the bordering nations of Nicaragua and Honduras. To compensate for both the small number of men choosing to involve themselves in the operation and the widespread support for the Arbenz government, the CIA devised a massive propaganda campaign in Guatemala to convince the populace of the invincibility of the forces seeking to take control of the country. Furthermore, CIA agents also conducted an intense psychological battle against the supporters of Arbenz, ranging from phone warnings in the middle of the night to death threats. On June 18, 1954, after approximately one year of preparation, U.S.- backed troops invaded Guatemala with the intention of overthrowing Arbenz. Realizing his army had forsaken him and fearing for his life, Arbenz resigned as president on June 27th and fled to Mexico. The U.S.-chosen leader of the military coup, Carlos Castillo Armas, assumed control of the government, thus ensuring the promotion of American interests in Guatemala.
Shortly following the change of power in Guatemala, CIA Director Allen W. Dulles met with Eisenhower to discuss the details of PBSUCCESS. During the presidential briefing, Dulles and other CIA officials exaggerated the efficiency of the program, claiming only one U.S.-backed soldier perished, when in reality, at least forty-eight men lost their lives in the attack. Consequently, Eisenhower and later American presidents came to rely on covert operations when faced with the threat of communism in Latin America; based on the faulty assumption that the overthrow of Arbenz was quick and bloodless, PBSUCCESS became the model for future CIA actions in the region. However, despite the initial determination that the U.S. intervention in Guatemala served as a triumph over communism, the decision to remove an elected leader by force seemed flawed when members of the army assassinated Castillo Armas only three years after he gained power. The aggressive American foreign policy implemented during the early years of the Cold War in Guatemala, therefore, succeeded in its immediate goal of removing a suspected communist sympathizer, but the unforeseen consequences of PBSUCESS (four decades of instability and civil war in Guatemala) remain the ultimate legacy of the initial CIA covert operation in Latin America.

Window Wells are a common location for water to accumulate. If enough water gathers inside the well, large amounts of water can come through the window and/or window frame and into your basement.
Not all homes are built with window well drains. Even the ones that are tend to be very difficult to service. Debris, such as leaves and lawn clippings, can easily clog the drain if left unattended. Our experience has taught us that glass block windows are not an adequate solution to this problem.
We offer a number of different window well accessories and customized solutions for your unique problem.
We offer a complete line of products and services to address just about any type of window well problem.
If your window wells are overflowing, we can design and install a new drain system. If your window well liner is rusted or deformed, we can replace it. If your wells are uncovered, we also can install custom fit window well covers.

Dilithium incubator
A dilithium incubator modified to charge a time crystal
The dilithium incubator was a device that could recrystallize dilithium, which would free interstellar societies from having to seek new sources of dilithium for their warp drive. It was invented by Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po, who at the time was the princess of Xahea. Her discovery made Xahea the most politically relevant planet in the galaxy, but also made the Xaheans greedy and corrupt. (ST: "Runaway")
After Po became queen in 2257, she continued to keep the secret to dilithium recrystallization to herself, as she did not trust others with the information. Later that year, the crew of USS Discovery, guided by a red burst, approached her for help in charging a time crystal. Po developed a way to modify her dilithium incubator to trigger an ongoing cascade of energy within the crystal by combining it with dark energy, which replicated the power of a supernova. (DIS: "Such Sweet Sorrow")

Castilla coach Raul unaware of imminent Madrid move for Reinier
If Reinier Jesus is set to sign for Real Madrid, club great and Castilla coach Raul Gonzalez claims not to know about it.
Flamengo teenager Reinier Jesus has been linked to Flamengo and La Liga giant Real Madrid. - Getty Images
Real Madrid great Raul, the club's Castilla head coach, claims to know nothing of a reported move for 17-year-old attacker Reinier Jesus.
Reinier has been linked with a €30million move from Flamengo this month, and it is said the teenager will sign for Madrid after his 18th birthday on January 19.
However, Raul, who works with Madrid's young talents in the reserve team, suggested he was unaware of an imminent announcement.
"I can't tell you anything because I don't know anything," Raul said after Castilla's 2-1 defeat to Melilla. "You will have to ask the club or other people. Nobody has told me anything about this case."
Reinier scored six goals in 14 appearances in Brazil's Serie A last year.

This is my first post, but I've been reading around here all night. I've been working on a memoir/life story but I'm still a bit confused about everything.
Basically, I'm in the middle of a novel about my freshman year of college. Nothing illegal or incriminating is in it, although I still want to change the names because I'm not sure that people would like how they're portrayed. My main question is, since I've obviously had to make up some dialogue and events (because I don't remember exactly, and for the the suspense/flow), is it still nonfiction? And if it is, will anyone want to read it? Or should I just pass it off as fiction and hope that no one ever finds out? I'm just so confused, and reading some other people's threads on the topic have made it even worse! I could really use some input! Thanks!
I'm having a similar problem, except that I'm not changing anything. Names, locations, or events. I just don't know if I should protect names or what. Want to put it out as a memoir, but don't want to offend.
In my mind, dealing with other peoples reactions to your work is one of the hardest parts of writing a memoir.
If you write it was fiction I think you would need to buzz it up a lot more, make it more interesting, give the characters bigger challenges and huge motivation to overcome the challenges. As non-fiction you just need to have a really interesting story to tell to start with.
If your story is truely fasinating, why would you consider writing it as fiction?


Fortunately, I live on the West Coast of Ireland; a stone's throw from the Wild Atlantic Ocean and very near the historic Merlin Park Woods. The latter is a heavenly sanctuary to retreat to when city life becomes overwhelming, or if you just need to withdraw to a quiet space. With its welcoming sweet meadows and a beautiful mature forest, Merlin Woods visually draw you in and embraces you like an old friend. Her sweet soothing sounds of birdsong and rustling trees soon titillate your ears; your eyes drink in the shades and hues Mother Nature provides in an untouched and unspoilt landscape. Teeming with life everything here moves at a less frenetic speed, so relaxingly tranquil, I promise if you are like me you won't ever want to leave.
Merlin Woods is one of the largest mature woodland areas left in Galway City, a place to gather one's thoughts, recharge the mind, body and soul for a few hours and leave behind the fast paced demanding lifestyle we live in today.
The start of my walk takes me past the proud stone sentinel, towering over the North Wood on the South West Corner of the woods are the remains of Merlin Park Castle (formerly Doughiska Castle) it is a wonderful reminder of how ancient this area is. Merlin Castle was built around the 15th and 16th century, and is a fine example of a late medieval Tower House. Part of the Bawn Wall and ancillary buildings still survive today. On the South wall of the castle is a Sheela na Gig, sitting upside down on the left-hand side of a second-floor opening and if I am not mistaken is one of only two to be found in Galway. The Castle is an archaeological landmark and has been lived in and owned by some of Galway's most prominent and powerful families.
I don't follow any direct pathway when here, preferring to amble without purpose through the woods, discovering something different every time I visit. The place is a haven for wildlife and rare species of flora and fauna, and is of extremely high conservational importance. A group called Friends of Merlin Woods are instrumental in highlighting Merlin Woods utmost significance, organising signage, educational trips, clean ups and events here so that everyone and anyone can come enjoy the space. You will understand why as I tell you about this magical place.
Estimated at being approximately 200+ years old, Merlin Woods has a number of graveled pathways to explore and plenty of trails throughout the woods. You can immerse yourself in a variety of shrubs and tree species, everything from Hazels, Beech, Conifers, Oak, Ash and Larch just to name a few. One day I will take a stroll with someone who can identify all the trees and fauna that catches my eye so often, I do love nature, but am not confidently able to identify all our trees or plants, especially if they are naked like right now as we emerge from Winter!
Anyone who just needs a quiet place to reflect will be at home walking here. However, if you are like me and love nature you will be enthralled with the variety of trees, fungi, and wildflowers, not to mention the wildlife. Some of the flora found here can only typically only be found in the Burren in County Clare approximately 40 kms away. It is paradise for me as I go about photographing everything and doing small sketches, I pick nothing to take home, I prefer to let nature stay where it belongs and thrives.
Red Squirrel, image used with kind permission of Colin Stanley.
Our Red Squirrels are totally dependent on woodland habitats and have suffered so much through deforestation it was almost completely extinct in the 17th century. The current populations are descendants of reintroductions of the Red Squirrels in the 19th century, but still they are sadly in decline. Along with loss of natural habitat our native Red Squirrel now has to compete for food with the imported American Grey Squirrel. Thankfully the invasion of Grey Squirrels to the West has been halted for now by the Shannon River. So there is still hope that our little Reds numbers will pick up if the habitat is preserved.
Leaving the Squirrel in peace, I weave my way from forest trails to the gravel paths, I cannot help but feel I have been transported back in time, surrounded by nature and alone, it becomes a surreal landscape of beauty and wonder, my mind, body and soul feel relaxed and euphoric. The fluttering of birds from tree to tree, the air carrying delightful songs, my nostrils filled with the earthy scent only a damp forest reveals, all my senses are on overdrive, it's wonderful, tactile, peaceful and ethereal.
I stroll back through the woods, off the beaten pathways stopping to admire goliath sized trees, old grandfathers of the forest dotted here and there, if only they could speak, what stories would they tell me? My mind tends to run away with me at times and I get immersed in the moment, it is so much fun, especially in places like this!
Stopping by what remains of the old stream that once flowed through the woods I catch sight of our Nation's smallest bird, a beautiful wren hopping from stone to stone, he wasn't in the least disturbed by my presence. I wait until he disappears and then turn to head up the hill into the forest. Along the way I pass a series of enormous and small moss covered stonewalls, I am sure they are tell-tale signs of pathways and garden areas now being swallowed by the woodlands. Some walls have fallen or been knocked down and are covered in lush blanket of moss, I cannot help myself, I remove my gloves to feel its luxuriousness, damp and soft under the weight of my hand, snap a few photos and move on.
I meander a lot and crisscross the path and forest trails, heading past an old cottage ruins and wonder what they were like in their hay-day, who lived there and what did they do? All that remain are the walls and openings of fireplaces, a few stone steps, trees and shrubs now inhabiting the spaces once occupied by people, reminders of a bygone era.
After a while, I connect with the gravel path again, I stop by the map and signage that display the flora and fauna you can see in the area and your location (should you be new to the area or lost) along with landmarks of interest, the place is teaming with birds as the feeders are still up due to the bad weather. I knew the feeders were there, so I came to visit and see what birds were around.
Heading back into the forest I keep walking until I come to the hospital's tarmac pathway, I cross the main road and head over to the South Meadows. What a stunning place it is when in full bloom, I have seen several foxes here on my walks and when driving past on the main road to town, the meadow is normally full of rabbits, but not today, it is quiet and I am alone and loving the solitude. I've seen most of the wildlife here, not on my walk today, but on various other walks and to be honest I spend more time looking up and around I don't notice the time or where I end up in the woods. It's not hard to find your way out if you do get a little lost and that is all part of the adventure.
The woods and meadows are home to rabbits, foxes, bats, badgers, lizards, sparrowhawks, kestrels, buzzards and possibly a few Pine Marten (sighting have yet to be acknowledged). Always something to see when walking here, but today it was too cold and damp, so not many sightings of animals on the trail, but I thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness the place offered.
I finish my walk, refreshed, full of new ideas and ready for the day. I reflect on how lucky I am to live so close to such a special place and I am reminded of the amazing lady who I was introduced to three years ago, Caroline Stanley. Caroline organises everything from photography, educational and nature groups and takes them on informative walks into the woods. She also organises community events and major clean ups as part of The Friends of Merlin Woods, they are the driving force behind the preservation of the woods and its ancient Meadows for all to enjoy. The group are constantly raising awareness and educating people of the rare and valuable amenity we have on our doorstep.
"Merlin Park Hospital and Merlin Woods occupy the former site of the Waithman estate. Merlin Park House was built by Charles Blake in the first decade of the 19th century and was bought by the Waithman family in 1876. Thereafter it was compulsorily acquired for the building of a TB sanitorium in 1945. The house no longer exists and Merlin Park Hospital now occupies the site. The Waithmans planted many trees during the period when they owned the 340 acre estate. The woods appear on the Ordnance Survey maps from the 1830s and you can see that some of the trees are well over 200 years old. You can tell it is old by woodland flowers like wood anemone, and bluebells, which show old woodland. We're learning about it ourselves as we go along, about the different insects and species of wildlife".
I love Merlin Woods, it is such a valuable amenity to have on the doorstep, spending time in here for me is like stepping into Narnia, it is a treasured heritage to be looked after and passed on for generations to come. And I will leave you with one last thought to reflect upon, thank you for taking the journey with me.
Thank you Colin and Caroline Stanley for your assistance.

Just curious if there is something I'm missing, but when I want to denote an affiliation in a manuscript and use something like ^1^Department of Biology, for instance, the '1' is properly superscripted in Composer but when previewed elsewhere (like Marked) only the word "Department" is superscripted. <sup> tags work fine everywhere.
You're writing to ask why my software works correctly, but software by other people doesn't work correctly?
You'll have to check with the other developers to find out if they are using out of date versions of MultiMarkdown (or other software altogether). Brett Terpstra (Marked) is very responsive -- he held off from updating to MultiMarkdown-6 in Marked for a while, but I thought he was going to update it (or maybe will soon?). I can't speak for anyone else.
* MultiMarkdown itself is updated on GitHub with every change I make (in the develop branch). This is always the most up-to-date version, but requires building it yourself. I generally only recommend this if someone is in contact with me about a bug, and needs access to the fix right away.
* I periodically release new binary versions of MultiMarkdown, which involves an update to the Github master branch and a new version number. Depending on what changes and how busy I am, this can often be a few months behind the development release.
* Every version of Composer is built with the current development branch of MMD at the time of release. This will usually be the second most up-to-date version of MultiMarkdown, behind the Github development branch.
Obviously any bugs in my software are mine to fix. But there's not much I can do about software written by other people.
To my knowledge (and skimming commit messages), I haven't changed anything related to superscripts in > 6 months?
Yep. As you surmised Brett hasn't moved to MMD6 yet. Sorry for the dumb question. Just wanted to determine if there was something I might have been doing incorrectly at my end.
Nope - as far as I can tell you're doing everything correctly.

Black diamond shards - these can be used to enhance a magical device by up to a 2,000 gp value of power; Shalecast is willing to do the labor on such devices for free.
The party were hired by one Garstal Shalecast, a dwarven inventor who had made a time machine. It wasn't a very good one, though - it could only send people from the present back in time, as well as bring them back, and only to places and times that wouldn't disrupt the timeline of history. This made it rather limited in use, unfortunately. However, he had found that he could acquire a legendary artifact, from the time when dwarves and elves were still just developing as races: the Original Klanth, an aged flint axe - the first axe, ever, in fact. Being something new in a time when new things were charged with power, the klanth was a valuable artifact indeed. The party was sent to get it away from the savage insectfolk who had captured it, and were going to shatter it as a show of defiance against the rising dwarven and elven races. The party landed in a place with black diamonds studding the walls, and were soon drawn by strange blue fires up a long, acid-etched walkway, leading to a plateau above them in the mist-shrouded land. There they saw as mantisfolk and their beasts slew a small alliance of elves and dwarves, and then leapt forward, slaying the mantisfolk with swift strikes, and claiming the Original Klanth before it was shattered by the bugfolk A few hours later, they found themselves drawn, once more, back to their original time. The time machine, sadly, burned out in the process - it would take months, or perhaps even years before it would be ready for another such jaunt. But the Original Klanth had survived! And now it would be taken to the Granite Mountains, there to be kept as a priceless token of dwarven ingenuity. If the elves didn't decide they wanted it, that is - who made the klanth, after all, is still in dispute.

Golden Door or Border War? Series: Boston and the Chinese Exclusion Act
Tuesday, October 17, 2017 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm
Registration is NOT required
Boston and the Chinese Exclusion Act
Tunney Lee, Shauna Lo, and Lisong Liu
This panel, led by Tunney Lee with Shauna Lo and Lisong Liu, will cover the changing nature of Chinese immigration to Boston from the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 (CEA) through its repeal in 1943 to today.
Although the main driver for the CEA was West Coast conflicts between European settlers—recently arrived via transcontinental railroad—and Chinese immigrants, Boston and Massachusetts played key roles in the passage and enforcement of the law. Panelists will address Massachusetts political reactions to the CEA, Chinatown raids, East Boston's immigration station, and more, continuing the conversation with the growth of the Chinese community in Boston and beyond following WWII.
This panel considers nationals laws through a local political and cultural lens to shed light on an aspect of immigration history that continues to this day.
Tunney Lee is professor emeritus of architecture and city planning at MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Born in Taishan, Guangdong, China, Lee grew up in Boston's Chinatown, attended the Quincy School and Boston Latin School. He holds a B.Arch from the University of Michigan and was a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Rome. He has worked for Buckminster Fuller, I.M. Pei, Ulrich Franzen, and others and was chief of planning design for the Boston Redevelopment Authority and director of the Massachusetts Division of Capital Planning and Operations. He was head of MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning and the founder of the Department of Architecture at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His primary research focus is urban residential density, Boston's Chinatown, and the planning history of Boston.
Lisong Liu is an associate professor of history at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. His teaching and research interests focus on Chinese emigration and nation-building, post-1965 Asian-American communities, US-China relations, and comparative and global migrations. He has published in the Journal of Asian American Studies and the Journal of Chinese Overseas. His first book was published by Routledge in 2015 and was entitled Chinese Student Migration and Selective Citizenship: Mobility, Community and Identity between China and the United States.
Shauna Lo is assistant director of the Institute for Asian American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston, where she administers the institute and assists on programs and research projects related to Asian-American communities in Massachusetts. Her scholarly articles have appeared in New England Quarterly, Asian American Law Journal, Chinese America: History and Perspectives, and New England Journal of Public Policy. Lo has a strong interest in Chinese American history and immigration during the Exclusion Era, particularly in the Boston area. She served on the Board of Directors for the Chinese Historical Society of New England for ten years and was a frequent contributor to their newsletter. Shauna received her BA and MA in American Studies from the University of Massachusetts Boston.
In June 1870 Calvin Sampson hired Chinese workers from San Francisco to replace striking workers in his shoe factory in North Adams, Massachusetts. Harper's Weekly ran stories on July 16 and July 30 on the Chinese workers about a month after their arrival in North Adams, including wood engravings depicting the workers on the factory floor, in the dormitories, and cooking their own cuisine.
This event is part of the "Golden Door or Border War?: United States Immigration from the 19th Century to Today," a three-part series that investigates the turbulent past and present of immigration in the United States. Join us for the other events in the series:
