Kirsty Young reveals favourite EVER Desert Island Discs guest: 'He was bl**dy marvellous'
Over those years, she has had the pleasure of interviewing a wide range of celebrities, sports personalities and politicians – but who was her favourite?
The 48-year-old reeled off a list of those who she loved speaking to including Victoria Wood, Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen during an interview with this week's Radio Times.
But, the man who takes the crown is none other than David Attenborough, who she admitted she fell in love with during his fourth appearance.
"Bloody hell!" she told the publication. "David Attenborough! Oh my God! I mean, if I only ever did one, it would be that one.
Kirsty will celebrate Desert Island Discs' 75th anniversary this weekend
Kirsty revealed that David was her favourite guest on the show
The idea of getting my little dirty mitts on a long-form interview was hugely appealing
Kirsty Young
"Honestly, he was a pure highlight. Absolutely bl**dy marvellous."
When told she sounded as though she had fallen head over heels for the national treasure, she quipped back: "But, that's the thing about David – you can't help falling just a little bit in love with him."
While many believed that Kirsty was the perfect person to take over the radio show in 2006, the widow of Roy Plomley, who started the series, was worried she would talk about sex too much.
But, the mother-of-two admitted she "doesn't scare easily" but it did take her longer to settle into the role than she initially expected.
"I thought it would take a few weeks, but it took a year before I felt like I was wearing my own shoes rather than someone else's," she explained.

"The idea of getting my little dirty mitts on a long-form interview was hugely appealing to me and it probably mattered a bit too much."
It was recently revealed that David Beckham will be cast away for the 75th birthday celebrations of Desert Island Discs this weekend.
The former footballer said he was "delighted" to be on the show, explaining: "Music has been a huge part of my – and my family's – life and it is a real pleasure to highlight that on such an iconic programme."

Дом-музей американского искусства Рейнольдсов () — дом-музей в Уинстон-Сейлеме, штат Северная Каролина.

История
Супруги Ричард и Кэтрин Рейнольдс в период с 1912 по 1917 годов строили большое поместье (площадью более 1000 акров), включавшее школу, церковь, конюшню и главное здание — Reynolda House.

Reynolda House была домом для двух поколений семьи Рейнольдсов. В 1935 году поместье приобрела старшая дочь — Мэри Рейнольдс Бэбкок. Она и её муж Чарльз Бэбкок владели домом и поместьем до 1948 года, когда они решили передать часть земли (605 акров) под кампус Университета Уэйк-Форест. После смерти Мэри Бэбкок, в 1965 году, Reynolda House открылся для публики как учреждение, занимающееся искусством и образованием; с 1967 года он стал художественным музеем. В нём хранится одна из лучших коллекций американских картин.

В Доме-музее находится постоянная коллекция американского искусства и скульптуры за период трех столетий. Художники, представленные в коллекции, включают: Мэри Кэссет, Фредерика Эдвина Черча, Джейкоба Лоуренса, Джорджию О'Киф и Гилберта Стюарта. Экспонаты выставлены по всему зданию Reynolda House.

В 2005 году в Reynolda House открыли крыло Мэри и Чарльза Бэбкок, в котором есть галерейное пространство для передвижных выставок. Обычно здесь ежегодно проводится два выставочных мероприятия: осенью и весной.

Notes Question module QA 'Parlemeter 2017' was implemented on behalf of and financed by the European Parliament. It partly replicates questions formerly asked in the framework of Eurobarometer 86.1 (ZA6697) and 84.1 (ZA6596). Question module QB 'Cultural heritage' was newly introduced. Question module QC 'Future of Europe' is partly based on questions asked in the context of the corresponding module surveyed in the framework of Eurobarometer 86.1 (ZA6697). Question module QD 'Attitudes of European citizens towards the environment' is partly based on questions asked in the context of the corresponding module surveyed in the framework of Eurobarometer 81.3 (ZA5914). The questionnaire representations of qd10.X ("AWARE OF ECOLABEL:") and qd11.X ("BOUGHT PROD W ECOLABEL:") deviate slightly from the actually fielded answer categories due to technical issues related to the display of the logos. The variables in the dataset correctly represent the actually fielded multiple answer matrix (0=Not mentioned ; 1=Mentioned) with variables qd10.14/qd11.14 and qd10.15/qd11.15 representing the answer categories "None" and "DK". The category 0 "not mentioned" in qd11.1 to qd11.13 includes cases which have not actually reported to be aware of the respective label in qd10.1 to qd10.13, which deviates from the filtering instruction for qd11. Please note that 12 respondents did not give answers to d15b ("OCCUPATION OF RESPONDENT - LAST JOB") after responding with 3 ("Unemployed, temporarily not working") in d15a ("OCCUPATION OF RESPONDENT"). According to the questionnaire such "No answer" responses should not be allowed. No data are available for protocol items p8 (postal code), p9 (sample point number), p10 (interviewer number) and p11.

EB - Standard and Special Eurobarometer
Since the early nineteen seventies the European Commission´s "Standard and Special Eurobarometer" are regularly monitoring the public opinion in the European Union member countries at times. Interviews are conducted face-to-face, in each spring and each autumn, at all times based on new samples with a size 1000 respondents per country. Separate samples are drawn for Northern Ireland and East Germany. After the EU enlargement in 2004, remaining and new Candidate Countries are also regularly included in selected surveys. The Standard Eurobarometer modules ask for attitudes towards European unification, institutions and policies, complemented by measurements for general socio-political orientations, as well as by respondent and household demographics. Intermittently special Eurobarometer modules extensively address topics, such as environment, science and technology, health or family issues, social or ethnic exclusion, quality of life etc. The "European Communities Studies" 1970-1973 can be considered forerunner studies, as well the "Attitudes towards Europe" from 1962.

On the left side, the mother is trimming and tidying up the blocks while carrying a baby in an amaut carefully on her back. On the right side, the father is cutting out a small square for light that he will likely fill in with a clear ice block to make an "ice window". In front of the igloo is a leashed and harnessed husky ready to go for a sled run. The border features the words "Canada 25 Dollars 2014" and the outline is reminiscent of an igloo as viewed from above.
The obverse of the coin prominently displays the Susanna Blunt effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the words "Elizabeth II D.G. Regina"

pandas.DatetimeIndex¶

class pandas.DatetimeIndex[source]¶

Immutable ndarray of datetime64 data, represented internally as int64, and
which can be boxed to Timestamp objects that are subclasses of datetime and
carry metadata such as frequency information.

<col class="field-name" />
<col class="field-body" />

Parameters:
data : array-like (1-dimensional), optional

Optional datetime-like data to construct index with

copy : bool

Make a copy of input ndarray

freq : string or pandas offset object, optional

One of pandas date offset strings or corresponding objects

start : starting value, datetime-like, optional

If data is None, start is used as the start point in generating regular
timestamp data.

periods : int, optional, > 0

Number of periods to generate, if generating index. Takes precedence
over end argument

end : end time, datetime-like, optional

If periods is none, generated index will extend to first conforming
time on or just past end argument

closed : string or None, default None

Make the interval closed with respect to the given frequency to
the 'left', 'right', or both sides (None)

tz : pytz.timezone or dateutil.tz.tzfile

ambiguous : 'infer', bool-ndarray, 'NaT', default 'raise'

'infer' will attempt to infer fall dst-transition hours based on
order

bool-ndarray where True signifies a DST time, False signifies a
non-DST time (note that this flag is only applicable for ambiguous
times)

'NaT' will return NaT where there are ambiguous times

'raise' will raise an AmbiguousTimeError if there are ambiguous times

name : object

Name to be stored in the index

dayfirst : bool, default False

If True, parse dates in data with the day first order

yearfirst : bool, default False

If True parse dates in data with the year first order

Hidden Facts About Lal Bahadur Shastri's Death
punwadi
Lal Bhadur Shastri was not only India's second prime minister but also an apostle of faith which was what India needed the most after the lugubrious demise of its beloved Prime Minister Jawahar lal Nehru. Lal Bahadur Shastri ji was an epitome of allegiance and veracity. He upheld the touchstones of morality by taking the moral and constitutional responsibility of the railway accident in Tamil Nadu though he was not related to it in any way. Such was the enigma of a man who was once considered feeble by his fellow politicians.
Even on the instance when he became the prime minister of the country, people saw him indisposed for the position which coerced the shoulders of even the most primed. But he obliterated this image and proved his mettle during the Indo-Pak war of 1965. The father of the slogan "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisaan" which echoes even now throughout the country, Shastri through his sapience and keen support was able to tackle this problem with the back of his hand. This was what made him the leader that our country has always longed for, until his clandestine death which marked the end of what looked like an era of promise.
Lal Bahadur Shastri died of a cardiac arrest in 1966 in Tashkent under suspicious circumstances after signing the Tashkent treaty which raised many eyebrows about the conspiracies surrounding his untimely demise. After the Indo- Pak war of 1965 Shastri went to meet the Pakistani Prime Minister Mohammad Ayub Khan in Tashkent to sign a peace treaty but died on the night of January 11, 1966 of what the government claimed to be under natural circumstances but evidence suggested something else.
Shastri's wife demanded an enquiry about her husband's death stating that his body turned blue after his death suggesting a possible case of poisoning. Not only this, no post mortem was conducted of his dead body even when his family allegedly agreed to do so. Blue spots and cut marks on his abdomen suggested that there was something more to the story. His son Sunil demanded to know that how did the cut marks appeared on his body if no post mortem was ever conducted, but all this was in vain. None of his questions were ever answered by the government.
Anuj Dhar, author of CIA's eye on South Asia once raised a query under The Right to Information Act to seek the possible circumstances surrounding Shastri's death. To his surprise the Prime Minister's office refused to process and acknowledge his request. An official stated "citing that this could lead to harming of foreign relations, cause disruption in the country and cause breach of parliamentary privileges". In another instance another RTI filed by Kuldip Nayar who was Shastri's media advisor from 1960 to 1964 was also declined by the Prime Minister's office. So what was so unpleasant about his death that cited an exemption?
Now as far as the reports go there is no illustration depicting any report issued by the Home Ministry on queries relating to whether a post mortem of Shastri's dead body was conducted or not. Some reports said that the External Ministry has already concluded that no post mortem of his body was conducted in USSR. The Ministry of External Affairs reportedly issued a statement saying that the one and only document that existed from the former USSR government is "the report of the joint Medical Investigation conducted by a team comprising Dr. R N Chugh, Doctor in attendance to the prime minister and some Russian Doctors" and finally concluded that no post mortem was conducted in USSR.
Even a RTI application addressed to the Delhi Police said in its reply that it does not have any record connected with the death of the former prime minister. In a reply by the Central Public Information officer dated on 29th July 2009 stated "No such record related to the death of the former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri is available in this district. Hence the requisite information pertaining to New Delhi district may be please treated as Nil". Not only this , the Home Ministry even adverted the matter in any case if it arises of any post mortem conducted on Shastri's body to the Delhi Police and the National Archives for any future reference.
Records suggests that the Russian Butler who served Shastri before he retired off to bed was also arrested for suspected poisoning but he was absolved owning to the lack of evidence. A report issued by India and Russia in 2013 stated, "Proponents see the "hand of Moscow" in the incident. The USSR was allegedly unhappy with Nehru's policy of non- alignment, which Lal Bahadur Shastri consistently adhered to, and intended to bring more loyal forces to power in India". What truth lies behind these statements is still ambiguous.
Sunil Shastri sharing his personal information in an interview said, "His death was a big shock to us and the entire nation. I was just 16 years old then. But I remember his body had darkish blue spots on the chest, abdomen and back. My mother and I suspected that he died under mysterious circumstances." He sees no reason why the government is withholding any information regarding his father's death. He also said,"I personally feel Shastri was not just a great leader but a national treasure. He was a lovable person who many feel was the best Prime Minister India had. The government should come out with the facts about his death and close the chapter once and for all".
Even after 49 years of his demise this still remains a part of an unsolved mystery and what is known to us as the biggest death conspiracy of any Indian politician. What exactly happened in that room and was it so dreadful that it would jeopardise the foreign relations of our country? Nonetheless, these still remains a part of the bigger question- Is this information ever going to be made public to us? Only the future holds answer to this question.

Feds Are After Craig Rosebraugh Again!
author: Working Class Mama
Craig Rosebraugh, former spokesperson for North American Earth Liberation Front
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Peifer has named Craig Rosebraugh (the former spokesperson for the ELF) as a "material witness" in a recent Oregonian article. What this means is that they are going to try to subpeona him again for a grand jury. Just when it was thought the nightmare was over and Craig Rosebraugh could return to his life. Under the PATRIOT act they now have the power to arrest him and detain him indefinitely in secret. Many of the material witnesses arrested since the enactment of the PATRIOT act have now been held for months and possibly years, often in maximum security solitary confinement.
DO NOT mistake material witness status for a snitch. Material witnesses are individuals who are considered to possibly have information and are most likely to refuse to cooperate and/or flee. Quite the opposite of a snitch. Please be prepared to support Craig Rosebraugh again when/if they subpeona him successfully.
. 29.Jan.2006 16:02
S link
They are not likely to flee - what is the point of insuring jail time when you are not even charged with a crime. Besides Mr. Rosebraugh has had many opportunities to flee and has not.
Correction 29.Jan.2006 17:12
It is my understanding that Craig is being subpoenaed as a material witness against the defendants in the ELF trials scheduled to being in October 2006. There has been no mention of him being subpoenaed to yet another grand jury. However, the penalties for noncooperation with the subpoena mimic those of grand juries - contempt of court and lengthy prison sentences. This is in addition to the speculation that more indictments are still to come.
What Are We Waiting For? 29.Jan.2006 18:28
CAPER link
The time is NOW - not when/if Craig should be subpoenaed - by then it could be too late. Local activists should already be educating themselves/others - organizing and preparing to fight the grand jury and those who support it.
May We Stand Behind Craig 29.Jan.2006 19:18
CatWoman link
Again and again, Craig Rosebraugh has proven himself to be anything but a "snitch." In the face of overwhelming repression and harassment, including an unrelenting campaign of disinformation from the dark side, he has always remained a true member of this community. He has set an example for the rest of us in terms of how to behave amidst government-sponsored witch hunts. May we remember that, and stand by him now.
Audio Files of Rosebraugh 29.Jan.2006 19:20
Jim Lockhart eagleye@PhilosopherSeed.org link
For those who don't know much about Rosebraugh, here are some audio files from Craig speaking at Laughing Horse Books in January of 2003. The talk was long, so I broke it up into three segments of roughly 40 minutes apiece.
This report below was posted to Indymedia at the time, though I can't remember who posted it. The links to his presentation, In RealPlayer Stream, follow the report.
Craig Rosebraugh delivered a lecture to an overflow crowd at the Laughing Horse Bookstore tonight. Folks were packed in as tight as sardines, and spilled out onto the sidewalk, but listened in rapt silence as Craig shared his thoughts and research from the work he has recently done on his Master's thesis. A sense of occasion unmistakably permeated the room, and Craig did not disappoint. I missed the first part of his three part lecture because I couldn't get in, but I managed to squeak in for parts two and three. Way in the back, I took notes as furiously as I could, but was unable to keep up with his quick pace, so I don't have much to share at this time. Fortunately the audio from the full lecture was captured and will be uploaded to the internet sometime in the next day or two. As soon as it is, a link will be posted here to portland indymedia, so check back for it. Craig is a good public speaker. There was not a single "um" in the entire evening that I heard. You could tell he's been writing on these subjects a lot because of the many nice, tight phrases that he used. I had my eyes opened to some history I didn't know, and some concepts I'd considered, but not heard out loud (at least not so eloquently). He made no call for "violent revolution" and I don't know if that disappointed the cop in the room. (There was at least one, of course.) He shared the facts he'd found, and some insights he'd arrived at, but made no specific prescription for action. Nonetheless, the radical perspective he brought was refreshing in these peacenik-ridden times, when a call goes out for 100 peacekeepers but not one cop-watcher. (See Ward Churchill's "Pacifism as Pathology" for more on this topic.) One thing he mentioned that made me think was the idea that non-violence will only work against an opponent who has "a healthy working conscience, decency and compassion" and can thus realize the error of their ways. Not all opponents will have this, and Craig named Hitler as an example of someone in the irredeemable category. The political violence that was used by the Allied Powers to stop his evil has never been questioned. Is Bush in that category? Is Capitalism? These are questions to consider. From that same time period, Craig also cited the Jews who, on their way to the gas chambers, attacked their guards in an attempt to save their own lives. This was a situation where people turned to violent tactics because their own lives were threatened and they felt they had no other option. Are we at a point where the imminent destruction of the environment is leaving us with no other options but violence? Again, this is a question to consider. Craig offered no answer to either of these questions, and neither does this reporter, but I believe they are important to consider. The violence/non-violence discussion that keeps cropping up often spirals into speculative "what-ifs" without considering these, and other, important historical examples. (BTW, Craig also quoted MLK and Gandhi speaking about the importance of self-defense, and the possible practicality of violence in the process of social change; it's interesting how the peaceniks ignore certains parts of the histories of these two icons when they don't come into focus with their fear-induced myopia.) I, and other people, were left with a lot to think about. Craig brought the violence debate into new territory and raised some very challenging concepts. He didn't pretend to know the answers, but he certainly wasn't afraid of the questions, and that was great to see.

I want to clarify that Craig Rosebraugh is not a flight risk. I was attempting to explain the nature of material witness status. There is an ignorant rumor spreading saying that he is a snitch because of an irresponsible misunderstanding of what a material witness is(Google Material Witness, it's really freaky how that law has been abused and used to jail innocent people for long periods of time who've been accused of no crime). I want it to be clear that he is not a snitch. Craig has no information. He has been before grand juries time and time again. The state just wants to abuse its new powers to further harass and/or detain anyone who dares to verbally support resistance against the empire. And yeah, we absolutely should support him now!
It's good to see this posting in support of Craig. It should be noted however that Asst. USA Steven Peifer has stated publicly Craig will be subpoenaed as a material witness AGAINST the defendents in the upcoming ELF trials, scheduled to begin in October 2006. There has been no public mention of Craig being subpoenaed to another grand jury. However, the risk to Craig is much the same as he had to deal with in the past grand juries - contempt of court and lengthy prison sentences for noncooperation. This is in addition to the speculation that more indictments are still to be handed down. He has faced years of repression and has stood firm against the government. Craig needs our support.

I agree with the above poster who said the time to prepare is now, not later. Cop Watch periodically holds classes informing citizens on what to do if they are approached, questioned or arrested by police, is there a similar organization, such as North West Constitutional Rights Center, who would step forward and conduct similar training sessions on a federal level. I know the laws are different, especially when you factor in the Patriot Act and the Joint Terrorist Task Force. This may even be the time when we ask Craig Rosebraugh himself to step out of retirement and help in conducting such educational seminars. Is this something which other concerned activists would be interested in pursuing before it is too late and the agents are knocking on our doors?

Bacterial biosurgery promising for reducing size of inoperable tumors
Deep within most tumors lie areas that remain untouched by chemotherapy and radiation. These troublesome spots lack the blood and oxygen needed for traditional therapies to work, but provide the perfect target for a new cancer treatment using bacteria that thrive in oxygen-poor conditions. Recently, researchers demonstrated that injections of a weakened version of one such anaerobic bacteria, the microbe Clostridium novyi, shrunk tumors in rats, pet dogs, and a human patient.
The findings from BioMed Valley Discoveries in Kansas City, Missouri, and a nationwide team of collaborators demonstrate that C novyi-NT, a version without the ability to make certain toxins, can act as a new type of biosurgery that eats away tumors in hard-to-reach places. The bacteria excise tumor tissue in a precise, localized way that spares surrounding normal tissue.
The study, which represents a new take on an approach first attempted a century ago, indicates that further testing of this agent in selected patients is warranted. The study was published in Science Translational Medicine (2014; doi:10.1126/scitranslmed.3008982).
"We have encouraging signs that this bacteria could be used to treat certain inoperable tumors, and that could give hope to some patients who don't have any other options," said senior author Saurabh Saha, MD, PhD, a longtime cancer researcher at BioMed Valley Discoveries. "But we are still in the early stages, and need to further assess the safety and efficacy of the treatment, as well as explore how well it works in combination with other cancer therapies."
The idea of using bacteria to combat cancer dates back to the 1890s; cancer researcher William Coley noticed that some patients who developed postsurgical infections went into remission or were even cured of their disease. Despite the approach's initial promise, progress was slow for the next century.
The researchers tested C novyi-NT via directly injecting the bacteria into tumors in pet dogs with naturally occurring cancers and whose owners volunteered them for the trial. Each dog underwent 1 to 4 cycles of the new treatment, consisting of a single injection of 100 million spores directly into the target tumor. Of 16 dogs evaluated after treatment, three had significant shrinkage of their tumors and three had tumors that were completely destroyed.
The next step was to attempt the treatment in humans. The first patient to enroll in this Phase I investigational study was a 53-year-old woman with retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma whose disease, despite eight rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, had spread to her liver, lungs, abdomen, upper arm, and shoulder.
The researchers injected 10,000 spores into the patient's metastatic right shoulder tumor. Within days, CT scans and biopsies demonstrated that the bacteria had infiltrated the tumor and had begun destroying tumor cells. Weeks later, a follow-up MRI showed that a significant amount of tumor had been destroyed. As a result of the treatment, the patient's shoulder pain subsided and she was able to move her arm again.

A New Moniker for Fishers: What is in a Name?
by Deb Wellwood | posted in: Fishers | 4
"What is in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." (William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet)
What is a fisher? I sit back, take a deep breath, and let words emerge: Elusive. Regal. Zen Master. Their name veils mystery.
Large cottonwood with a stellar view of the Bulkley Valley. When clearing the land, some trees were left standing, providing important habitat features for many wildlife species.
If you haven't heard of fishers, you're not alone. More likely than not, you are solidly in a majority. I was reminded about this fact few weeks ago when a friend reported, "Hey, I just saw a fisher. A great big fisher. A fisher as big as a wolverine (well maybe not quite I thought)." Where, I asked (silently wishing I had been there)? They both stopped to stare at each other on the Trail to Town from Hudson's Bay Mountain ski area.
Fishers are Elusive
Excluding my carnivore biologist colleagues, I can count on one hand the number of people that have told me they have seen a fisher. Sightings are rare. Even so, I know they're there. Sometimes, I see their tracks. Whenever I ski through that part of the ski out, I always think of them. I wasn't surprised to hear that the sleek, rich brown, longed tailed critter was exactly where I imagined it might be. The cottonwood–birch–aspen–spruce mixed forest ecosystem feels like fisher habitat. For me, it's an exciting affirmation; someone is home. Given its size, it's probably a male.
Fishers are so elusive that when I tell people about my fieldwork with them I usually get one of two diametrically opposed responses. The first, is a prompt, "what is a fisher?" In the second, my partner in conversation is engaged, then their expression morphs to quizzical, and then (just as I realize what is happening) I get a hesitant, "what is a fisher?" To my response: "Oh, now I get it. I thought you were talking about a person (or a fish)."
What is a Fisher?
Female fisher tracks in snow with my field notebook for scale. Members of the weasel family have five toes on each foot, unlike the cat and dog family, which have four.
Good question: what is a fisher? The fisher is a medium-sized member of the weasel family (Family Mustelidae), the most diverse of the carnivore families in BC. Among their closest relatives, fishers are outsized by sea otters, river otters, wolverines and badgers; and they outsize pacific martens, American martens, minks, and a bundle of weasel-weasels (long-tailed weasels, ermine, and least weasels). Totaling 11 species in BC, the weasel family by far outnumbers the other carnivore families that include the cat family (Family Felidae) with cougars, lynx, bobcats; the dog family (Family Canidae) with wolves, coyotes, red foxes; the skunk family (Family Mephitidae) with spotted skunks and striped skunks; the bear family (Family Ursidae) with black bears and grizzly bears; and the raccoon family (Family Procyonidae) with the masked (and sometimes mischievous) racoons all on their own.
Shaking the Family Tree
After tracking them for several seasons in the Williston Reservoir area in central B.C. and the Kiskatinaw River area in northeastern B.C., I thought I had a fairly good idea. Last fall, I was surprised to learn otherwise at a retreat for weasel family experts keen to share experiences, ideas and questions about their favourite animals. I learned that, in 2012, the scientific name for fisher was changed from Martes pennanti to Pekania pennanti in a reassignment of genera (akin to shaking the family tree to rearrange some major branches) based on analysis of nuclear–mitochondrial DNA data. Wow! In the world of a biologist, that's a big deal and yet another humbling reminder that we still have lots to learn about the species we study (a common theme in my career).
Happy Fisher Land in an open cottonwood-birch-aspen-spruce ecosystem bordering farmland.
Researchers previously thought fishers were more closely related to martens (Martes spp.), formerly sharing the same genus. However, based on genetic evidence, it turns out that fishers are more closely related to wolverines (Gulo gulo), but distant enough to warrant a new genus of their own. A fisher certainly looks a lot more like marten than a wolverine. But, apparently, looks aren't everything.
On Shakespeare and solving mysteries: Fishers do smell sweet but not like a rose. I know this from handling tranquilized fishers when we outfit them with radio-transmitters so that we can learn more about their biology. Oh, how I loved and now miss their smell. Despite the name change, they'll still smell as sweet. Now the stage is set for another tale in a DNA trail of clues for researchers to follow. Knowing more about fisher evolution will help researchers in thinking about and learning more about their ecology and behaviour so that we can better understand these majestic, but seldom seen, creatures and needs for their conservation.
Cavities in old cottonwood trees and snags provide homes for many wildlife species, including fishers.

Genotoxicity is the result of a chemical or other agent specifically causing damage to cellular DNA. Genotoxins either bind to or cause damage to enzymes responsible for replicating DNA, resulting in mutations, and at times to cancerous cells or birth defects.
Some common types of genotoxins are ionizing radiation or aromatic amines. Aromatic amines are thought to cause mutation by accepting electrons, essentially forming a covalent bond with DNA, which then prevents accurate replication.
Other types of genotoxins that have been used in scientific experimentation include N-acetoxy-acetylaminofluorene (N-AcO-AAF), aminofluorene (AF), aflatoxin (which can be found in stored peanuts) and dimethylsulfate (DMS; a very toxic, volatile liquid and vapor).

Qualifying for the Left Bank Bordeaux Cup 2014 will begin in the US this month, with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) putting forward, for the first time, one of 11 student teams competing for just two places in June's final.
Last year's winners from Cambridge University, England – Ellie JY Kim, David Beall and Vaiva Imbrasaite.
They will take on teams from other prestigious universities and institutions across the country, including Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Wharton and California's Stanford, which has returned to the fray after several years out.
MIT already has a history of producing fine wine enthusiasts. Bill Koch, the billionaire US wine collector and renowned hunter of fakes, obtained his doctorate in science there. Koch recently gave evidence in the trial of wine fraudster Rudy Kurniawan, during which a jury heard his cellar totals 43,000 bottles.
US qualifying for the Left Bank Bordeaux Cup will take place on 21 January, with the top two teams going through to the international final hosted by Chateau Lafite in June.
'The Left Bank Bordeaux Cup gives the opportunity to all these brilliant young students, who have had the wonderful idea of liking wine,' said Lafite owner Eric de Rothschild.
Further qualifying rounds will take place for Asia in March, to be held in Hong Kong and Shanghai. In April, 2013 current champion Cambridge University will begin its defence of the cup at a qualifier in London, which will be open to all of Europe excluding France.
French universities and schools will have their own qualifying round in May. The competition is organised by the Commanderie du Bontemps Médoc et Graves, Sauternes et Barsac.

Q: MongoDB is not distributing reads in a replica set We have three servers in a replica set. For the sake of example, ServerA is primary, while ServerB and ServerC are secondaries. While stress testing the environment, the server load on ServerA has spiked to around 4.00, while the secondaries remain at 0.00. The URL targets of the stress testing do not do any writes to mongo, but it appears that reads are not being distributed to the secondaries.
We are using the official C# driver.
ServerA log shows many connections being opened, lsn set entries, and a bunch of "killcursors" commands -- it is obviously working to serve up pages. ServerB and ServerC, however, only show the initial connections from the web servers (four of them), and after that only "lsn set" entries appear in the logs. After a few minutes, the initial four connections timeout and close.
The replica set is in full working order. I can stop mongo on the primary, and the secondaries will correctly elect a new primary.
Our connection string from Web.config:
<connectionStrings>
    <add name="wellness.mongodb" connectionString="mongodb://serverA:27017,serverB:27017,serverC:27017/mydatabase?safe=true;replicaset=myreplicaset;slaveok=true" />
</connectionStrings>

What are we doing wrong?

A: The connection string looks OK. I'll try and reproduce and report back.

32-foot Christmas tree makes landfall in Hythe
By Emma Mason
Monday, Dec. 3rd, 2018
The 32-foot Christmas tree that was dropped at intersection of 100 Street and 101 Avenue in Hythe last in 2018, Emma Mason
It was a strange sight in the skies over Hythe this weekend. A 32-foot Christmas tree was flown by helicopter from Demmitt and dropped in the middle of Hythe's main intersection. This is the first time in 30 years that there has been a tree in the Village and Mayor Brian Peterson says he's happy he could be the one to bring the tradition back.
"It had been so long and it was something that I had from my childhood that I wanted to bring back quite passionately."
The tree was anonymously donated by a farmer in Demmitt. The spruce, which now sits at the intersection of 100 Street and 101 Avenue, was originally supposed to be 34-feet tall but two feet had to be cut off in order to lift it.
Once it was put up, volunteers helped put 2000 lights as well as a homemade star on the tree. Peterson says it was definitely a team effort.
"There was a lot of people participating to make the hot dogs and to get the firewood here and cordon off the area. Even to get the tree up I think you've seen how many of us were scrambling underneath trying to get that thing in place. It takes a lot of people to make something like this happen."
Peterson is now looking for members of the community to bring their own ornaments to decorate the tree. A decorating and lighting event will take place on December 8th.

I got a free cut in English so I decided to write my entry for today already. It's Ash Wednesday and this marks the beginning of the Lenten season, in which we commemorate the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness as He was being tempted by Satan. We also commemorate Jesus' suffering before His death. Obviously, our celebration of this holy season also lasts for 40 days (exclude Sundays).
I attended the mass for today's special occasion at the Church of the Gesu beside my dorm here in Ateneo. I must confess that it was my first time to attend a mass at the said church. The church was full this morning and some were even standing. The mass was great – spoken in English and everyone was singing. There were a lot of Jesuit priests at the altar to celebrate this important event.
before drawing the holy cross on my forehead. It was a message that I must have heard for the first time as well. I don't remember the priests or nuns saying those words back in elementary and high school.
Those words really moved me. Aside from the fact that I didn't become sleepy anymore, I promised myself to be better even for this season of Lent. I told myself that I'll follow fasting and abstinence (I had tempura for lunch), be good in a sense that I won't do "bad" things as I used to do, devote myself in prayer and so much more. It is but right, after all, to honor the great sacrifice that Jesus did to save us.
Lent is a season for us to recall our misdeeds and sins and do the necessary actions to correct them. It is a time for us to be better, to be more holy, to show our love for God. May we always put in our hearts the sacrifice He did for us. May we never forget to thank Him and serve our neighbors as He had requested from us.
Hopefully, we all had mass today. Hopefully, a cross was drawn on each of our foreheads and may it remind us of how we had live our lives in the past years of our existence. Let us sit for a while, think, ponder and free ourselves from worries. Let us offer ourselves to Him.
Forty days. Forty good deeds. Forty days to be better Catholics. Let us not waste this precious moment to improve ourselves. Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel.

Ventra Health
4932 Sunbeam Rd., Jacksonville, FL
Total Square Footage: 45,465
Acquired: December 28, 2021
Tenant Name: Ventra Health, Inc.
Royal Oak Realty Trust ("Royal Oak") is pleased to announce the completion of our latest acquisition.
On December 28, 2021, Royal Oak acquired the office facility of Ventra Health, Inc. ("Ventra") located in Jacksonville, FL, our third investment in the state of Florida. The property is located in the Jacksonville metropolitan statistical area ("MSA"), the 39 th largest MSA in the United States. Jacksonville is the largest city in terms of area in the contiguous United States, serving as a gateway to the state of Florida and a major distribution point for goods being transported throughout the eastern seaboard. By the end of Q2 2021, Jacksonville's workforce had recovered to more than 98% of pre-pandemic peak employment levels. Ventra signed a 12-year absolute net lease at closing.
The Ventra property was originally built in 2004 undergoing a significant renovation in 2019 and consists of 45,465 square feet of office space. The property sits on approximately 5.86 acres and boasts an attractive parking ratio of 5.98/1,000 square feet. The property will be the primary facility for Ventra Health's Emergency and Hospital Medicine business, as well as the primary presence in the Florida market.
Ventra is a leading provider of outsourced revenue cycle management services and practice management solutions. The Company's national footprint serves a diverse group of customers, including private practices, PPM organizations, hospitals, and health systems. Varsity Healthcare Partners, a lower middle-market healthcare focused private equity firm, began developing Ventra Health in late 2019 with their acquisition of emergency medicine focused DuvaSawko. Since then, the platform has rapidly expanded in size, scope, and capability through the additions of Abeo (November 2020) and Gottlieb (April 2021). With Abeo, the Company entered the market for anesthesia RCM services, while Gottlieb deepened its expertise in emergency medicine and expanded its portfolio to include hospital medicine.
