Mastodon Bones Could Rewrite North American History 0:30
autoplay autoplay
Paleontologists have dug up a 130,000-year-old mastodon skeleton that looks like it was smashed apart by humans. But they found it in America, where people were not supposed to have arrived for another 100,000 years.
How could that have happened?
The researchers say they think early humans must have come to America much, much earlier than anyone ever thought. They suggest that other scientists start looking for evidence of people in places they never bothered looking before.
If the conclusions are confirmed, they will turn North American archaeology upside down.
"I know people will be skeptical of this because it is so surprising and I was skeptical when I first looked at the material itself. But it's definitely an archaeological site," said Steven Holen of the Center for American Paleolithic Research in South Dakota.
The site includes a skeleton that looks like it was taken apart and broken with stone tools, which are left in place alongside the bones they smashed. One tusk appears to have been stuck upright into the ground.
"It appears to be impossible that a mastodon could somehow force its own tusk into the underlying deposits," the research team noted in their report, published in the journal Nature.
The only reasonable explanation, they say, is that humans did it.
Uranium dating puts the site at around 130,000 years old.
"My first reaction on reading this paper was 'No. This is wrong. Something's wrong,'" said stone tool expert John McNabb of the University of Southampton in Britain.
"If it does turn out to be true, it changes absolutely everything."
Current wisdom holds that modern humans arrived in the Americas no earlier than about 15,000 years ago. The oldest widely accepted site for the first Americans dates to just 13,000 years ago.
The main theory is that people crossed a land bridge across the Bering Strait between modern-day Alaska and Siberia during the last Ice Age, when sea levels were lower, and then migrated down the west coast.
Some other researchers have challenged this idea, but their findings are hotly disputed.
If the San Diego finding holds up, it likely means that Homo erectus, Neanderthals or a related early human species, the Denisovans, crossed much, much earlier. They could have crossed on foot during a previous Ice Age much earlier than 130,000 years ago, the researchers say, or come by boat.
It's slightly possible that modern humans made the crossing, the researchers say. But no human remains were found at the site, so it's impossible to say who butchered the mastodon.
"This discovery is rewriting our understanding of when humans reached the New World," Judy Gradwohl, president and CEO of the San Diego Natural History Museum, said in a statement.
The site was first found in 1992 when road crews were putting up a sound berm — a wall of dirt to quiet traffic noise — along State Route 54 near San Diego. Paleontologists carefully excavated the mastodon skeleton, along with large, oddly-shaped rocks and the bones of other extinct animals such as dire wolf, horse, camel, mammoth and ground sloth.
They also got a good estimate of how old the site is.
What's now a busy road was a stream bed 130,000 years ago, the researchers said. "It was a meandering stream close to sea level," Thomas Deméré of the San Diego Natural History Museum told reporters in a conference call.
"It was a very nice place to live, I would think, 130,000 years ago — not far from the coastline."
The smash patterns on the mastodon bones and the stones left nearby look as if humans used the stones as tools to break apart bone to use for more tools, and perhaps to get at the nutritious bone marrow inside the large leg bones, the research team said.
Strangely, it does not look like they cut meat off the bones — something that gives pause to experts like McNabb.
Most of the site was preserved under many feet of dirt and the Natural History Museum team carefully excavated and examined it by hand, documenting where each piece was and saving samples of dirt and rock alongside the bones and big stones.
It was not until years later that Holen and colleagues, looking for just this kind of evidence, set out to see if humans may have been at work at the ancient site.
"Of course, extraordinary claims like this require extraordinary evidence," said Deméré.
The team believes they have assembled just such evidence. They got together experts in dating ancient geological deposits and bones. They compared the stones to stone tools from the same period in other, better documented sites in Africa. They looked at various other mastodon carcasses to see if natural processes could have broken and spread the bones in the same patterns.
They made their own stone tools and smashed elephant bones to see if it was even possible to do it, and to see if the smashed bones looked the same. They ruled out the possibility that scavenging animals broke the bones apart or that the trucks at the road site could have done the damage.
The geology of the site strongly suggests it was buried gently, with fine-grained silt covering the bones and stones, leaving them undisturbed for tens of thousands of years.
"These patterns, taken together, have led us to the conclusion that humans were processing mastodon limb bones … and that this was occurring at the site of burial … 130,000 years ago," Deméré said.
James Paces, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, used radiometric dating methods to determine that the mastodon bones were 130,000 years old. "We believe we have a robust, defensible age," he said.
"The dates are truly remarkable," said University of Wollongong archaeologist Richard Fullagar, part of the study team. "But it's hard to argue with the clear and remarkable evidence that we can see in all of this material."
Common wisdom holds that the first Americans didn't arrive until 13,000 years ago in what's called the Clovis culture, named after a site in New Mexico where distinctive stone tools were found in the 1920s.
There are other sites in the Americas that have been dated to before 13,000 years ago, but there is debate about the conclusions. DNA evidence suggests that humans were in the Americas long before even 15,000 years ago, but there is no physical evidence to support the idea.
And the archaeology mainstream is very unforgiving of researchers who challenge the accepted dates, said Al Goodyear of the University of South Carolina, who's been working to prove for years that stone tools found in a South Carolina site date to as long as 50,000 years ago.
"There is a lot of ignorance and arrogance about just how little we know about the Western hemisphere," said Goodyear, who was not involved in the San Diego discovery.
"These things are very controversial." But Goodyear says the San Diego team's evidence is compelling.
"I think they've done their homework," he said, noting that Holen is one of the world's leading experts on what mastodon bones look like when they are broken naturally versus when they are smashed open by humans.
"I think these sites are a wake up call to the profession," Goodyear added.
Now the researchers want paleontologists and archaeologists to take another look at ancient sites to see if they can find any evidence of human activity. It won't be easy — ancient human remains are notoriously difficult to find.
They also invite other scientists to examine and question their findings. That's how scientists work — by publicizing discoveries and theories and inviting their rivals to pick them apart.
With enough evidence, that's how common beliefs are changed.
"Well, maybe it's not completely impossible," McNabb said.

Muckleshoot Casino Sets 2022 Reveal for Resort Opening
By The MEET® Family of Publications February 27, 2020 Updated: April 9, 2021 No Comments2 Mins Read
With 20,000 Square-feet of Technologically Advanced Function Space
On the cusp of its 25th anniversary, Muckleshoot Casino is setting its vision firmly on the next quarter-century to come. After starting in a humble tent, the Pacific Northwest's largest gaming destination will soon reach a milestone when it completes the first phase of a historic reimagining of the facility.
Originally anticipated to debut in late 2021, a new opening timeline for the 18-story, the 400-room tower allows for the completion of more in-depth designs as well as programming enhancements.
"For us, a hotel is more than walls and beds. We're constructing a resort dedicated to all the spaces in-between. The ones that will allow our guests to escape, indulge and connect," states General Manager Conrad Granito. "To that end, we are committed to fully vetting these concepts to ensure we captivate our guests no matter where they are on the property."
The framework for the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe's casino of tomorrow began in March 2019 after a ceremonial groundbreaking event. The first phase of the expansion—which introduced a trio of fast-casual dining destinations and remodeled sections of the gaming floor—will culminate with the highly anticipated April 2020 opening of the Muckleshoot Events Center.
Offering 20,000 square feet of technologically advanced function space, the Muckleshoot Events Center will answer the region's need for a modern facility that can transition seamlessly from a first-class concert venue to an expansive exhibit hall, corporate gala, joyous quinceañera, intimate wedding, and more. Reservations are already being secured by eager corporate, association and incentive planners.
The second phase of the expansion—crowned by the reveal of a full-resort experience in 2022—will include an upscale rooftop restaurant, a climate-controlled indoor pool, and accommodations featuring panoramas of Mt. Rainier as well as the Olympic mountain range. A carefully curated cultural gallery will also celebrate the history and journey of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe.

This test finds out if you are infected with Helicobacter pylori bacteria. This is a common bacterium. It's more common in developing nations and has been linked to poor hygiene in living conditions, especially for children. Infection is more common in children than adults.
A culture test means that a tissue sample is placed in a special dish or tube containing nutrients normally found in the organism's environment. If H. pylori bacteria are present in the sample, they will reproduce and grow until they can be seen under a microscope.
You may have this test if your healthcare provider suspects you have an H. pylori infection. Symptoms of an H. pylori infection are mainly in the stomach and digestive tract. They include abdominal pain, ulcers, and diarrhea. In some children, the infection is linked with stunted growth. It also increases the risk for stomach cancer.
Although a culture is the most accurate testing method, your healthcare provider may order a less invasive test.
One example is a breath test. For a breath test, you will drink liquid or take a capsule that contains a small amount of harmless radioactive material. Your healthcare provider will then check levels of this material in your breath. If H. pylori bacteria are present in your stomach, the bacteria will break down this radioactive substance.
Other noninvasive tests for H. pylori look at samples of blood, saliva, or stool.
New minimally invasive tests are being developed. One is called the Entero-Test, or string test. For this test, you swallow a capsule attached to an absorbent nylon string. The capsule dissolves in your stomach, and the healthcare provider removes the string and collects a sample to culture. This method is not yet in common use.
The culture will either be positive or negative for H. pylori bacteria. A positive test means that you have the bacteria. A negative, or normal, test means that you do not have it.
This test is done by taking samples of stomach tissue. The tissue samples are collected during a process called endoscopy. A gastroenterologist does endoscopies in an outpatient setting.
Before an endoscopy, you may be given a sedative. Your throat will be sprayed with medicine so you won't feel the endoscope as much. Then you will swallow the endoscope, a thin, flexible tube about as thick as your little finger. When the endoscope is in your stomach, your healthcare provider will use it to take samples, or biopsies, of stomach tissue. The entire procedure usually takes about 15 minutes.
Endoscopy is a fairly safe procedure, but it's likely you will feel some discomfort when swallowing the endoscope. This often eases after the endoscope passes through the throat. There is also a slight risk for a reaction to the sedatives, bleeding from the biopsy, or upper GI tearing from having an endoscopy.
Your results may also be affected by medicines you may be taking to treat ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux.
This test requires that you not take certain medicines such as antibiotics or bismuth subsalicylate for one month before the procedure. You should not take drugs for gastroesophageal reflux disease, such as omeprazole or esomeprazole, for up to one week before the test. You should not take medicines such as ranitidine and famotidine for 24 hours before the test. In addition, you should fast for 6 hours before the test.
Check with your healthcare provider before stopping any medicines. Be sure your provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.


Discuss Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords on our Movie forum!
SOLDIERS WITHOUT SWORDS gives life to this fascinating, little knownhistoryby weaving music by Grammy award-winning jazz artist Ron Carter witharchivalfootage, photographs and interviews with editors, photographers andjournalists of the Black press. The film is narrated by stage, screen andtelevision actor Joe Morton.
...The film's executive producers are Wynton Marsalis, Pultizer Prize-winning composer and trumpeter, and filmmaker Stanley Nelson, a MacArthur Foundation "genius award" recipient whose work includes The Murder of Emmett Till, The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords, and Two Dollars and a Dream: The Story of Madame C.J. Walker.
Dr. Wisbey's fields of special interest were American religious and social history. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and several historical and professional organizations. His first book, Soldiers Without Swords, a history of the Salvation Army in the United States, was published in 1955. He was especially interested in the Utopian Communities such as Jemima Wilkinson and her followers, and the Shakers. His biography, Pioneer Prophetess, Jemima Wilkinson, the Publick Universal Friend was published in 1964 and reprinted in 1999. In 1975 Herbert Wisbey founded the Elmira Shaker Seminar which was held each summer for a week at the sites of former Shaker settlements. Following his retirement as director in 1985, the program has continued as the Berkshire Shaker Seminar. His book The Sodus Shaker Community was published in 1982.
From facilitating the migration of Southern Blacks to northern cities to honoring Black soldiers in World War II, the Black press documented people who were otherwise ignored. SOLDIERS WITHOUT SWORDS weaves music by Grammy award-winning jazz artist Ron Carter with archival footage, photographs and interviews with editors, photographers and journalists of the Black Press.THE BLACK PRESS: SOLDIERS WITHOUT SWORDS is an engaging historical account that tells the story of the pioneering men and women of the Black press who gave voice to Black America.
- You can watch The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords online on video-on-demand services (Netflix), pay-TV or movie theaters with original audio in English. This film has been premiered in theaters in 1999 (). The DVD and Blu-Ray edition of full movie was sold some time after its official release in theaters.
As usual, this film was shot in HD video (High Definition) Widescreen and Blu-Ray with Dolby Digital audio. Made-for-television movies are distributed in 4:3 (small screen). Without commercial breaks, the full movie The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords has a duration of 86 minutes; the official trailer can be streamed on the Internet. You can watch this full movie free with English subtitles on movie television channels, renting the DVD or with VoD services (Video On Demand player, Hulu) and PPV (Pay Per View, Netflix).
Directed by Stanley Nelson, the below feature-length documentary, "The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords," is really the first (and maybe the only) film to chronicle the history of the black press, including its central role in the construction of modern African American identity. From facilitating the migration of Southern blacks to northern cities, to honoring black soldiers in World War II, the black press documented people who were otherwise ignored.
Nelson began working as a television producer at PBS on the series Listening to America with Bill Moyers. Nelson went on to produce and direct the 1999 Emmy nominated documentary entitled The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords, and the 2000 Black International Cinema Festival award winning documentary Marcus Garvey: Look for Me in the Whirlwind. Nelson and his wife, Marcia A. Smith, then formed the nonprofit documentary film production company Firelight Media. Firelight Media received funding from American Experience to produce the critically acclaimed 2003 documentary entitled The Murder of Emmett Till. The film won several awards including an Emmy for Best Directing-Nonfiction, the Sundance Film Festival 2003 Special Jury Prize, and the George Foster Peabody Award. In addition, the U.S. Justice Department has recently reopened the 1955 murder investigation of Emmitt Till, citing the presence of new evidence exposed in Nelson's documentary.

Breakfast bill sparks lively fight
By Todd Engdahl Apr 18, 2013, 5:39pm MDT
Updated 10:40 a.m. April 19 – The Senate Friday voted 20-15 to pass House Bill 13-1006, the breakfast after the bell proposal. Because the Senate didn't amend the bill, it goes to the governor.
Senators, most eating dinner at their desks in the Senate chamber, had a lively fight Thursday evening over whether school kids should eat breakfast at their desks in classrooms.
After just an hour of debate, senators did give preliminary approval to the breakfast after the bell proposal, House Bill 13-1006.
The measure is intended to provide universal free breakfast at certain high-poverty schools in an effort to ensure students start the day ready to learn. The bill requires breakfast be served after school starts and also stipulates that participating schools serve breakfast to all students, not just those eligible for free- or reduced-price meals.
Republican critics of the bill argued that it imposes an unnecessary burden on some school districts and isn't needed given existing meal programs in schools.
"It's really a great program, and I could go on and on, but people seem a bit antsy," said prime sponsor Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, in urging its passage. Senators, back to work at 5 p.m. for the second floor session of the day, were milling around and chatting.

Evaluation confidentiality bill
The debate quickly became more focused as Republicans went to the podium to raise questions.
"There has been considerable concern about the impact of this bill as questions about the true effectiveness," said Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango.
She was referring to concerns raised by some school districts during committee hearings that the bill actually would cost them money despite federal reimbursements.
"It was overwhelming, the number of people opposing this," said Sen. Larry Crowder, R-Alamosa.
After Sen. Gail Schwartz, D-Snowmass, spoke about childhood hunger in Colorado, Sen. Vicki Marble, R-Fort Collins, took exception. "It sounds like we're a third world country here in the state of Colorado." Marble said – more than once – that childhood obesity is a bigger problem than hunger.
In its first year, 2014-15, the bill will apply only to schools with 80 percent or more of students eligible for free- and reduced-price meals. The percentage drops to 70 percent in 2015-16. Districts with fewer than 1,000 students (just over 100) wouldn't have to participate, there's flexibility for schools that already have formal before-school programs and also serve breakfast and for districts where 90 percent or more of students ride the bus.
The bill also has provisions allowing schools to drop out if their enrollment dips below the 70 percent threshold or if federal funding is eliminated. It's estimated that participating schools will gain an additional $28 million in federal money by using the program.
The bill faces a final roll call vote before going to the governor. (The Senate has amended the House version.) The bill passed the House last month on a 49-16 vote.
Read a legislative staff summary of bill here.
BEST oversight bill passes
The Senate Thursday Thursday voted 35-0 to pass the bill that gives a legislative committee oversight of the Building Excellent Schools Today school construction and renovation program.
The program, funded by revenues from state school lands, provides matching funds for lease-purchase agreements that pay for new schools and other large projects. It also provides cash grants for smaller renovation needs.
Currently, grants are recommended by the state Capital Construction Assistance Board and approved by the State Board of Education.
Senate Bill 13-214 would give final up-or-down review of lease-purchase projects to the legislature's Capital Development Committee, require the BEST board to maintain an annual reserve sufficient to cover its annual payments (something it's been doing informally) and add some modest income and project reporting requirements.
The Senate earlier added an amendment to clarify uncertainty about what would happen if the State Board of Education and the Capital Development Committee can't reach agreement on a final project list.
As amended, the bill allows the committee to reject individual projects only if the panel determines those items would "unreasonably increase" the cost of the total project list.
During the 2012 session some legislators talked about "reining in" BEST. They were worried that the program was diverting too much money from the school lands permanent fund and that the general fund might be liable for BEST debts if land income declined. The chatter didn't translate into legislation, and BEST concerns seemed to cool over the months before the 2013 session.
SB 13-214 is seen by many as merely tweaking program procedures as a way to ease legislative concerns.
Evaluations confidentiality bill goes to House
The Senate also voted 24-11 to pass House Bill 13-1220, which requires that information about individual teacher and principal evaluations be confidential.
Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker, suggested that parents perhaps ought to have access to individual teacher evaluations, but he didn't proposed an amendment to that effect.

Q: Help deciphering this fdisk output additional info::  It was asked if these three drives were in a RAID config, and they are.  I know almost nothing about RAID, but I know this machine has a RAID controller.
I was given a Dell Poweredge server by a friend.  I installed an SSD and on that, installed Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS.  The server also has (3) Cheetah SAS drives installed, all of which have data.  I'm trying to more or less scrub these drives, then create a single EXT4 partition on each of them which I'll use as HTPC media storage.  As a semi-newbie to Linux, I'm trying to find whichever way I need to first visualize these three drives so I can figure out where to go from there.  I've issued "fdisk -l" and the following is the output:
Disk /dev/sda: 111.8 GiB, 120034123776 bytes, 234441648 sectors

/dev/sdb4       1169682432 1169684479       2048     1M 42 SFS

I would say I recognize /dev/sda as my 120GB SSD which runs the OS, but then I see /dev/sda1, and after that, in the list of /dev/sdb's, I just don't recognize three separate 600GB storage drives.
Can you help me break down the output of this command, or give me a better command which might output a cleaner presentation?
Thanks!

iPad Air 3, iPad Mini 4 Release Date, Rumors, and Comprehensive User Reviews
By Mark Aserit ( [email protected] ) Dec 19, 2015 06:58 PM EST Comment
Know the latest updates about Apple Devices
Apple Inc. recently released the powerful iPad Mini 4, but the release date of Ipad Air 3 is still kept under wraps. Now we'll give updates, rumors and specs of the latest gadgets from Apple.
According to MacWorld, the iPad 3 Air could be released in the market in the first quarter of 2016. Multiple tech websites have linked to that report. Moreover, the site gave details about the specs of third-generation Air.
The Air 3 could get an A9X processor, 8-megapixel rear camera, a fingerprint sensor and maybe even a 4K display of 2334 x 3112. If this is true, the device will significantly have improvements from the 1536 x 2048 resolution of the iPad Air 2. The Air 3 will also have thinner body than the Air 2.
For its Camera, Apple said the Air 3 will have an improved sensor and bigger pixels for better low-light performance. Latinos Post published that the device will have an 8 megapixels (rear-facing iSight camera) and 2.1Mp (front-facing FaceTime camera).
The processing and power capacity of Air 3 can compete with topnotch devices in the market. It is rumored to have the new processor chip of Apple -- A9X.
In order to see how powerful this chip is, let's look at the history of Apple devices. MacWorld published that A8X has three billion transistors and offers (Apple says) 40 percent faster performance than the iPad Air 1's A7 chip in most apps and up to 2.5x graphics performance. Now, it would be a big disappointment for Apple users if the company would not make a faster and smarter processor for Air 3.
For the price of iPad Air 3, Alphr tech website estimated that Apple will sell the device for the price of aroud $590, and it will hit the markets by March 2016.
On other hand, let's look at the recently launched iPad mini 4. For Apple users who want to have a smaller tablet, the Mini 4 is worth for consideration. The device is significantly faster compare to its predecessors, thanks to the A8 chip inside.
Yahoo Finance gave details about the other important specs of Apple Mini 4. The website said the gadget is a mile prettier than Mini 3. Mini 4 has 2,048 x1,536 pixel resolution and 326 pixels per inch (ppi) density. It also has a fingerprint sensor for security and in-app Apple Pay purchases, which is a big bonus for multi-person households and avid online shoppers.
In terms of look and feel, the Mini 4 is slightly thinner and lighter than Mini 3. The fourth-generation of Apple Mini series has 6.1mm thickness and weighs 0.65 pounds.
The base model of Apple Mini 4 with 16GB of storage stands at $400.

Apply early to secure financial aid for college
Jan. 24, 2009, 11:59 PM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
Karen May admits to middle-of-the-night anxiety spells over the daunting challenge of coming up with the money to put her daughter, now a high school senior, through college.
The stock market's steep dive has knocked 25 percent to 30 percent off the value of the 529 savings plan she'd been contributing to since Brie was born, putting her goal of contributing $15,000 a year out of reach.
But the 48-year-old accountant from Vernon, N.Y., has found a key way to hopefully make some of it back besides cutting spending, skipping vacation and working a second job: She spends hours every week researching financial aid options with her daughter.
"With aid possibilities coming from so many different sources — federal, state, colleges, local and national scholarships — the process is time-consuming and somewhat complicated, especially for kids who have little or no preparation in financial areas," said May, a single parent.
Putting in the hours and staying organized is essential, she said, and participating in online forums like College Confidential and Student Doctor also has turned up valuable information.
Brie has been accepted at four schools so far — Butler, Wilkes, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Duquesne — with financial aid packages yet to come. Then her mom can start applying her newly gained knowledge to the next student in the house, 16-year-old son Dylan.
Here are eight basics that parents of college-bound students who may not be doing all their financial aid homework should know as a 2009 aid season fraught with economic concerns begins:
1. Apply ASAP. Parents with high school seniors or returning college students should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid now to have the best chance of receiving aid. This 102-question document is used to determine eligibility for federal aid, state aid and scholarships, and this year there are likely to be more applicants vying for less grant money.
"It's always a good idea to apply for aid early, but especially this year," said Lynn O'Shaughnessy, a personal finance journalist and author of "The College Solution: A Guide for Everyone Looking for the Right School at the Right Price." "The feed trough's going to be a lot more crowded, and schools may run out of money sooner."
Don't wait until your 2008 tax return to file; you can submit an online FAFSA at www.collegeboard.com using estimated tax information to speed the process.
2. Don't rule out pricey schools. A high sticker price doesn't necessarily mean a higher out-of-pocket cost, especially at schools where significant merit aid might be available.
"Don't just apply to the local community college because you think it's all you can afford," said Lauren Asher of the Institute for College Access and Success.
3. Don't forget the profile. Remember to also fill out the CSS/Financial Aid Profile, used by many private colleges and universities to determine aid eligibility. The form and more information are at the Web site of the College Board, www.collegeboard.com.
4. Look at less selective schools. While you're shooting high, make sure you are applying to less selective schools than you might have otherwise to add to your margin of financial safety. Your student might qualify for a merit scholarship or get a good need-based package. Or it may just make more financial sense.
"In a boom economy we allowed our children to apply wherever they wanted and we said, 'If you get in, we'll make it happen,'" said Rod Bugarin, financial aid adviser for college consulting firm IvyWise and a former financial aid officer at Brown University and Columbia University. "Now families are saying 'Maybe you should think about other schools, other opportunities.'"
5. The loss of home equity value won't help. Newcomers to the aid process may assume or hope that a big decrease in their home value will put them in line for more financial aid. That's not likely. Household income counts by far the most in the aid equation that also considers non-retirement assets, number of family members in the household, number of kids in college and taxes.
6. Look for scholarships online. Private scholarships offered regionally and locally may help you fill the financing gap even if your student isn't brilliant. Some of the best-known scholarship search sites include Fast Web, Scholarships.com and the College Board's Scholarship Search. Also check with your high school guidance office.
7. Call aid offices. Don't hesitate to call the financial aid offices of schools your student is considering for information on available aid or for assistance. A better financial aid offer from a similar school could also be valuable fodder to take back to the first-choice school this spring.
8. Be wary of taking on too much debt. Federal loan limits have been increased, and parents may be able to find money to finance their child's dream college even in the midst of the worst economic crisis in decades. But think carefully about the consequences of over-borrowing before taking on a huge debt burden just because you can.


February 2019 • jessica nicole.
I'm here to tell you that I understand your sadness and your frustration. I know how it feels to go through these trials. I know how much your heart aches when you miss your stepkids. I know how hurt you are when you feel like a fraud in the motherhood department. I know that whether you're childless due to circumstance, choice, or medical reasons that we are all feeling that hurt. We all just want to be taken seriously, and we want a little sympathy for our pain.
No-one benefits from you taking on the weight of the world. I repeat - No-one is benefiting for you putting everyone's emotions on your shoulders. It will do nothing but stress you out. You are being more selfish by stressing yourself out with all of this unnecessary emotional baggage than anything. I know that when I am stressed my energy in my whole household changes. Not for the good either. When I have taken on too much, when I have assumed the role of emotional bodyguard for my family, it takes a toll on all of us.
So try and listen with a kind heart. Even when it's the 37th time that morning they've brought it up. Be understanding when they keep bringing up their other family. Be interested when they tell you their stories. Don't take it personally when they compare you. Just love them and do your best to support them.
There is not a law written somewhere that says stepmoms must be friends with the bio-moms. And for some reason whenever there isn't a solid relationship between stepmoms and bio-moms there is some negativity from outside observers. But this isn't always the case! It doesn't have to be a bad thing that you don't have a friendship with the ex wife.
Someone's hateful comment hurt your feelings, your dinner didn't turn out great, you were late to dance practice, you didn't switch the laundry over before the mildew set in, or you literally caught a baked potato on fire. All in all, it's not that bad. Those moments don't define you. Those moments don't make you any less of a wonderful stepmom. You are an amazing attribute to your blended family. They all appreciate and love you for the important role you play in your family, and you do a darn good job! Don't be so hard on yourself.
The best way is to find other stepmoms you can connect with in real life. Other people who get your struggle. These ladies know what you're going through because they've been there too. They understand where you're coming from because they are in the trenches too. They understand your heartaches, they understand your dramas, and they may have some advice from their own experiences.

This publication is not about giving the dog a back name to hang it. It is not about fabricating any lies to tarnish the reputation of the Ghana police force but to state the truth and the facts as are prevalent on the ground.
I have personally on a number of occasions had run-ins with some police personnel when I proceed to Ghana on holiday. I cannot close my eyes to their irresponsible and unprofessional fondness for taking bribes and stupidly threatening drivers with all silly allegations in their quest to compel them to offer them bribes.
I quite remember engaging in a heated argument with one Police Inspector Sakyi at the Kumawu Police Station about ten years ago. It all came about as a result of someone's farm found burning and my brother-in-law accused of setting the farm ablaze. Two persons going to their farm met this brother-in-law of mine returning home from his farm, carrying on his head some farm produce. They met him almost half-way through on the path to where the farms are. They did neither meet him in the burning farm nor see him set fire to the farm. However, they reported to the farm owner that he was the one they met on the way when they were going to their farm. Subsequently, the farm owner reported him to the police and he got arrested.
For about two months, he was reporting himself to the police on daily basis. When I went on holiday and was told what was happening, I accompanied him to the police station and enquired about what was actually going on. I requested the police to invite both the witnesses and the farm owner to the police station as I needed to meet them for more credible information to determine that actually, my brother-in-law was the culprit as alleged.
The police invited them on two occasions but neither of them turned up. The police further told me they had arranged the Fire Service personnel to the farm to establish how the fire started, who started the fire etc. but for about three weeks, they had not submitted their report on their findings to the police.
My argument then was, if the witnesses did not see or find my brother-in-law in the farm, did not see him set the farm ablaze, did not find him with anything in hand that could cause fire when they met him on his way home, how could they conclude that he set the farm on fire? Again, ever since the farm owner and the witnesses caused his arrest, why have they not been honouring the invitations to them by the police to come to the police station for further action to be taken against the suspect? Why have the police not charged the suspect to court and how long was it going to take them to indict or arraign him? Did the witnesses meeting him on their way to their farm be sufficient circumstantial evidence to indict him? Are there no other paths (routes) to and from the farm?
In a nutshell, my explosion was such that it took the District Police Commander to calm both of us down including the other police officers at the station. I could not withstand their unethical behaviour which when read deeper into, amounted to expecting my brother-in-law to offer them bribe to drop the case. However, I would not go down that extortionist path or have nothing of the sort. This is just by the way.
Going forward, the open forcible acceptance of bribe by the police on Ghana roads is not only unprofessional but criminal. How dare a law enforcement agent turn around to breach the very law he/she is to protect by openly taking bribe as though, it is their right? Are they not paid by the government for protecting life, protecting property and preventing crimes? If these are their basic duties, why should they be committing crimes themselves with impunity? Are some policemen not caught involved in armed robberies? What a shame!
Finally, I call on The Director-General of the CID, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Mrs Maame Yaa Tiwaah Addo-Danquah, to be wary of her actions. She was once accused by Kwame A-Plus of trying to persuade him to drop some corrupt allegations he was making against one or two members of the current NPP government. Again, she has made a contradictory statement about how a prime suspect in the murder of Ahmed Hussein-Suale of the Tiger Eye PI escaped from the grips of the police at the Kotobabi Police Station in Accra. She claims that the bystanders or members of the public in the area at the time assisted the suspect by collaboratively attacking the police to let him escape. Nevertheless, a principal witness' account as heard on air on Oman FM yesterday evening, Tuesday, 2 April 2019, indicates that the police themselves let go the suspect.
Is Mrs Maame Yaa Tiwaah Addo-Danquah helping the police to redeem their blemished image let alone, helping His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo fight corruption in Ghana by her lies told to the public? The police are a disgrace to the nation by their despicable infatuation with taking bribes. The nation must rise up to fight that evil greedy urge within the police that compels them to accept bribe with glee.
The Inspector General of Police, Mr David Asante-Apeatu, must have the balls to sack any police officer found accepting bribes. I have lodged a complaint with him online against the MTTU Police Officers on the Ejisu-Krapa-Kwamo stretch of road on the Accra-Kumasi highway. They are there only to take bribes from the drivers but nothing else.
Until they have been removed from the area or have stopped taking bribes, I shall never rest but continue to wage a crusade for their removal from the area if not their expulsion from the police force.
Maame Tiwaah, I hope you are not condoning and conniving with the suspect of Ahmed Hussein-Suale's murder to escape arrest, prosecution and conviction to ensure justice for Ahmed and his bereaved family.
Stay tuned for more info and shocking reports from my visit to Ghana.

Proofreading Tips: Gender and Jobs.
Think about your vocabulary as well as your spelling, your punctuation and your grammar. With the SCBWI BI conference fast approaching and full of cracking characters – what about any accompanying job titles?
You may not need to be too fussy about this, as you're writing for children, not for a classified ad, but some job titles have come a long way. In the 1970s you could see 'clerkess' listed in situations vacant. In the 1980s a writer could be referred to as an 'authoress'. Phew, we've got rid of a lot of gender marking.
How this affects your writing depends on whether you want a 'controversial' job name to stand out and beg a question (from your editor or from your reader), or whether you want a gender-neutral updated version. Obviously character-specific job descriptions make sense. Postman Pat, the Demon Headmaster and the Gingerbread Man suit their titles.
Another specific job name from history is 'paintress'. It sounds like, and may have been used as, a patronising description of a female painter, but it also applies to a particular group of talented women. The detailed hand-painting of china in the 1920s and 1930s, for instance at Clarice Cliff's studio, was done by self-styled paintresses, a name they valued.
Finally there are the job titles where we're dropping the 'ess' form. Waiter now applies to both genders, and so does actor, but there are inconsistencies.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards are for 'Male Actor in a Leading Role, Female Actor in a Leading Role, Male Actor in a Supporting Role, Female Actor in a Supporting Role, etc. The Oscars are for Actor in a Leading Role, Actress in Leading Role, Actor in a Supporting Role, Actress in a Supporting Role, etc.
On the word 'actor', a Guardian article of 2011 admitted that "we are not using the term consistently yet" and the performers' union Equity stated "We don't feel there is a consensus, in fact, the subject divides the profession." Since then 'actor' has become the more established description, though there are always context-specific anomalies. When proofreading – be aware.
Thank You to Our SCBWI Conference Organisers!

C.capitulata and C.latofilia are recognized as a medical plants in Asia, especially for ancient India and China. In Indonesia, i.e Kebonharjo (a village in Samigaluh District, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta), people use it as a sweetener replacing sugar. Phenol, neonorlignan, and protein inside these plants had been examined by some researchers. However, the nutrient content inside the fruit are rare or slight recorded. This study aims to reveal the composition of minerals (Ca, Fe, Mg, K), carbohydrate compound (glucose, fructose, sucrose) and Vitamin C in their fruit, therefore, the development to preserve these species can be concerned due to the plan of "Bedah Menoreh" program, a program of road construction connecting between New Yogyakarta International Airport (NYIA) and Borobudur Temple. The method for finding out the nutrient content is by laboratorium analysis. Result showed that both fruit contained potentially high of mineral, especially Ca (calcium), but C.capitulata and C.latifolia contained no sucrose and glucose respectively.

Hello James, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
It sounds like you have a great trip coming up next spring. With its whimsically fun theming, Disney's Pop Century Resort is a perfect choice not just for kids, but also those who remain young at heart. This Resort is currently undergoing a refurbishment, and the new rooms look absolutely fantastic! Hopefully the refurbishment will be fully completed by the time you arrive.
James, I personally love traveling to Walt Disney World in late April and early May and this is typically when we take our major family vacation. I find it is the perfect time of year; relatively low crowds, near perfect weather, and it coincides with one of my favorite events, the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival.
While currently it is a bit early for special promotions or discounts for next spring, keep your eye on the Special Offers, Deals & Discounts section of the website. As promotions or special offers become available you can check to see if any would be available for your dates, resort and booking package, and if so, potentially have them applied to your reservation. In the meantime, if you are looking to get a sense of the types of discounts or promotions historically offered in the past during your travel dates, you may want to consult MouseSavers.com. While this is not a Disney owned or endorsed website, they have collected information on past room discounts and promotions going back to 2013.


Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren. Ps. ciii. Appeared as a broadsheet at Nürnberg, c. 1540, and in J. Kugelmann's News Gesang, Augsburg, 1540. Both of these are given by Wackernagel, iii. pp. 821-23, in 4 stanzas of 12 lines. This fine rendering has been repeated in most subsequent hymn-books, and is No. 238 in the Unverfälscher Liedersegen, 1851. A 5th stanza, "Sey Lob und Preis mit Ehren," appeared in a broadsheet reprint at Nürnberg, c. 1555, and is in Burg's Gesang-Buch, Breslau, 1746, and other books, added to the original stanzas.
Lauxmann, in Koch, viii. 316-320, quotes Martin Chemnitz, 15V5, as stating that it was written in 1525 at the request of the Margrave Albrecht, as a version of his favourite Psalm, and as saying that himself (i.e. Chemnitz) heard the Margrave joyfully ringing it on his death-bed. Lauxmann adds that it was used by Gustavus Adolphus on April 24, 1632, at the first restored Protestant service at Augsburg. It was also sung by the inhabitants of Osnabruck, in Westphalia, as a thanksgiving at the close of the Thirty Years' War on Oct. 25, 1648, &c.
My soul, now praise thy Maker! A good and full translation by Miss Winkworth, as No. 7 in her Chorale Book for England, 1863.

How I lost $20m to Boko Haram –Ochade Osakwe
By Ayo Alonge, [email protected]
HAVING lost a huge sum of money to Boko Haram insurgency in the North-east, Engineer Ochade Osakwe, the Chief Executive Officer of NIJP Allied Integrated Limited, recalls how his investment went down the drain.
Shortly after a 30-year sojourn in Japan, Osakwe disclosed to us that he was encouraged by former President Olusegun Obasanjo to come back to the country to invest, only for the investment to die in the wake of the Boko Haram insurgency.
However, the Delta-State born businessman seems to have put aside this experience in business as he disclosed to our correspondent that his new business venture focuses on modern medicare.
Osakwe reveals the nature of the business and how other Nigerians can tap into other opportunities in the business. He also spoke about Nigeria-Japan bilateral business relations among other issues.
Could you tell us how you started as a businessman?
I have lived most of my life in Japan and when I was there, I was the Chairman of the Nigeria-Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I was the deputy for six years and became the chairman for two years. I came back to Nigeria in 2006 . That was after my encounter with former President Olusegun Obasanjo when he came to Japan in 2005. I came in with some Japanese investors and we were looking at the solid minerals sector. We invested about $20 million in the sector. Sometime in 2010, when the Boko Haram insurgency struck, our activities were disrupted and eventually disorganized.
Our expatriates went home and everything came to a halt. We thought the insurgency would only be for a short while but rather it became worse. We ran away and as I speak to you, some of our equipment are still in areas we can't even find them like Potiskum in Yobe State. Some we can access in Kebbi have been vandalized. The investment just went down the drain.
How do you feel about this huge loss?
I was totally devastated and it was like a house of cards falling apart in one day. We tried as a company to see what we could do and we tried to diversify but our financiers from Japan lost interest in Nigeria, particularly because there was nothing being done to curb the insurgency. They felt their investment is not guaranteed and if anything happens, we are on our own which is actually because as I am talking to you now, the initial investment is gone. Investment here in Nigeria is not guaranteed and there was nothing we could do to recoup our losses.
At the moment, is there any other business you are into in the country?
Yes! Lately, we've began something. The Japan/Nigeria Trade Forum was held in Tokyo, last year and ECOWAS organized something similar too and I was a panelist. Immediately, we started talking to Nigerians in the Diaspora to think that it's worthwhile to come back to Nigeria. We decided to look into the medical sector and that's what we are doing now.
What do you consider worth knowing about your fresh investment in the medical sector?
The plan then was that we were investing in solid minerals and power. Today, we are looking into the medical sector. We did a feasibility study on the Nigerian healthcare sector and we found out that most hospitals in Nigeria are ill-equipped. The structures are all there but nothing is functioning. That's what we hope to fix now. We want to fully equip these hospitals, get the manpower there so that the Nigerian populace would benefit. You don't have to die of common fever. There is a cure if your illness is properly diagnosed. In some cases they were not properly diagnosed and that is why you see "Gone too soon" everywhere. Life expectancy in Japan is over 80 years, but here in Nigeria, it's just about 52 years . That is too wide a gap and we want to bridge it as quickly as possible.
Do you have any governmental backing at the moment?
We don't yet. We are still climbing the ladder. We are visiting public hospitals all around now.
What are you introducing into the business of healthcare?
There are new machines that people don't know about and not like the CT scanner, Digital X-ray machine, dialysis machine and all made in Japan. All we need do is visit the hospitals and get to know what they want before we now go into an MoU with them.
How would Nigerians benefit?
The whole plan is a win-win thing. We will buy the machines from Japan and ship them to Nigeria install and get them running. It's when they start functioning that people can benefit from them .We are not building more hospitals. We are trying to blend into the existing ones, empower them and ensure they're functioning.
What's your impression of Nigerian/Japanese relations with regards to business?
Having stayed in Japan for close to 30 years, I can say that in the early '90s, the relationship was not too cordial because the system here was a military setup and Japan has always been a democratic system. From 1999, when we came back to democracy, Japan now felt they could partner with Nigeria. You know Japan is part of the Paris Club and when they forgave our debt then and things became better. As we speak, the bilateral relationship between Nigeria and Japan is improving economically. Last year, Japanese people who visited Nigeria to discuss bilateral trade were about 60. Nigerians in Japan too are doing very well in business. A practical one is the CEO of MatKen Plc in Japan and he is doing very well.
How can Nigerians key into this business opportunity and make money too?
That is sure to happen. We will employ more people and the Japan government also promised sometime ago to award scholarships to some African undergraduates who are coming to Japan for their Master's degrees. It's online and open.
Do you think the present economic climate in the country is conducive for making money, considering the free fall of the Naira?
Yes, medicare is something that drives the economy. I cannot stay one full day without eating. Once you have a stomach upset, you can't do anything. This is about taking care of human beings. Once you are sick, you are sick. It doesn't affect business in that sector, except for the fact that Nigeria doesn't have a good insurance system. If it's effective, everybody is supposed to have access to it like in Japan, where the government pays for your health insurance.
What are your long-term goals in business?
As a Nigerian in the Diaspora that has lived most of my life in Japan, I wish that things get better so we can look into many other sectors like power and infrastructure. We will do that if government can give us a soft landing.

Some machine-to-machine (M2M) protocols can be abused by malicious actors in attacks aimed at Internet of Things (IoT) and industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems, according to research conducted by Trend Micro and the Polytechnic University of Milan.
The security firm has analyzed two popular M2M protocols: Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), which facilitates communications between a broker and multiple clients, and the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), a UDP-based server-client protocol that allows HTTP-like communications between nodes.
MQTT is a mature standard that is widely used for automation and industrial applications. CoAP is relatively new, but it's used by many IoT and IIoT products. Trend Micro has monitored activity associated with these protocols over a period of four months and identified over 200 million MQTT messages and more than 19 million CoAP messages leaked by hundreds of thousands of Internet-exposed brokers and servers.
In the case of MQTT, Trend Micro researchers discovered vulnerabilities in both the protocol itself and its implementations. The flaws can allow malicious actors to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition, which, as experts have often warned, can pose a serious risk to industrial systems. The flaws have been reported to the developers of the affected software and patches have been released.
Researchers have not found any actual vulnerabilities in CoAP, but pointed out that since the protocol is based on UDP, it's susceptible to IP spoofing, which makes it ideal for DDoS amplification.
"CoAP responses can be significantly larger than requests. In our estimate, CoAP can reach up to 32x amplification factor, which is roughly between the amplification of Domain Name System (DNS) and Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP). An attacker who has access to a 1-Mbps link would be able to hit a target at 32 Mbps," explained Federico Maggi, one of the authors of the research paper.
Experts have warned that these M2M protocols can be abused for targeted reconnaissance, industrial espionage, targeted attacks and lateral movement. While there is no evidence of malware currently leveraging these protocols, Trend Micro believes it will not take long until threat actors become aware of their potential for malicious activity.

Q: returns [object DOMWindow] instead of user input ive been writing a website for about 3 days and i ran into a problem. i have a textfield that changes a span on the page using javascript, and this works fine on firefox and ie. but on google chrome it just returns "[object DOMWindow]" no mater what i change. the code is way to long to post so i would just like to ask if anyone knows what causes this?

A: My best guess without seeing code would be you're using the this keyword, which behaves differently in different browsers. this refers to the window element any time that it is not in a different context. Check to make sure you are either using a library that normalizes the this keyword (like jQuery) or are explicitly getting the text field every time.
