Heavy Metal (1981)
If you've ever picked up a sci-fi novel from the '70s or '80s, chances are its cover was painted by influential science fiction illustrator Angus McKie, known for his highly detailed spacecraft, futuristic constructions and vivid colours. McKie was also writer, designer and background artist on the Heavy Metal (Columbia Pictures, 1981) segment So Beautiful and So Dangerous, adapted from his story of the same name (1979) in US sci-fi/fantasy comics magazine Heavy Metal – not to mention being a long-time colourist attached to 2000 AD[2], thereby delivering this particular homage comfortably within the "borrowed with permission" bracket.

Angus McKie also features in HoH No. 191 – The Valley of Gwangi

Remembering Ms. Roslyn "Ros" Carter
Rosalyn "Ros" & Earl "Roelif" Carter (Courtesy of Tyler Small)
As we close out March– a month when women and femmes are specifically and traditionally honored– we wish to remember and celebrate the life of Ms. Roslyn "Ros" Carter, who tragically passed away in the fall of last year.
We knew Ms. Ros was a resilient strong Black woman, who survived many forms of state violence, and who persisted to make meaningful change. Ms. Ros was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend.
Ms. Ros was always at the side of her husband, Mr. Earl Carter, and Ms. Ros was often the one leading the conversation. Pre-pandemic, we would see them at the office meeting with our paralegals and attorneys, welcoming us into their homes, and speaking with our media and social work teams. Ms. Ros and Mr. Earl continuously advocated for a St. Louis where every Black family all Black families in St. Louis could not only survive, but thrive.
Although Ms. Roslyn was not a plaintiff in any of our lawsuits, many of her family members and loved ones have been, and Ms. Roslyn always served as part of the glue for these social networks; she was the first to call to check in, and she was always the first person we called to see how our clients were doing.
As survivors of STL's predatory policing, excessive court fines and fees, and unconstitutional debtors' prisons – the Carters have advocated for a region with more basic resources and a region where less money was spent on the institutions that have jeopardized their family, and countless other Black families, for years and years.
During the pandemic, Ms. Ros would often call our office, and speak to staff she'd known for several years.
We were fortunate to catch up with both her and Mr. Earl for one last interview together in September 2021, and we hope to remember and celebrate Ms. Ros through sharing some of that footage later this year.
For now, Ms. Ros, may our holistic legal advocacy be forever in your honor. Rest in peace, and rest in power, Ms. Ros.

Liberty High School's rendition of "The Little Mermaid " put on a spectacular performance that people of all ages enjoyed attending.
Chloe Franklin|December 5, 2022
On Nov 9-11,"The Little Mermaid" in the Performing Arts Center had a very successful show as they sold out and had to add another day of performances. The main cast of this production consisted of Ariel (Senior Megan Rieger), Prince Eric (Senior Joansel Rodriguez), Ursula (Senior Grace Fisher), Skuttle (Junior Bennett Chapman), Sebastian (Senior Andrew Hand), Flounder (Senior Madaline Belcher) and many others and the audience follows them as mermaid Ariel becomes a human and becomes involved in a dangerous journey to regain her voice in the human world. Whilst doing this she navigates falling in love with Prince Eric and his world.
The cast provided a new take on the beloved Disney classic through things such as costume differences, character choices, and new performances of the original songs. They changed the genders of certain characters from the movie such as Flounder, and Ursula's henchmen. The costume choices were even more lively and they added many other ensemble characters that never made an appearance in the movie.
To be in the audience and watch this show felt like you were immersed in their world throughout the lights and actors coming into the audience at different parts of the performance. The musical had a very strong opening scene with amazing light work and a great job setting the stage for what was to come. They did a spectacular job of bringing the characters to life through the casting choices and utilizing different actors' voices.
The crew made the set fun yet conveyed the importance of different pieces which tied the musical together. Different stage sets made the transitions between set pieces very smooth and tie into each scene. My favorite was when Eric fell off the ship during the storm and had an eventful sequence where he was floating through the water and the lights started changing colors.
The bright color choices in costumes also helped signify the underwater theme and how lively life was "under the sea". My favorite costume that I saw was Ariel and all her sisters. I loved the choice of having the skirt that flows to the floor with the triangle in the middle to represent the tail. It was very unique and I haven't seen that choice done before.
Some of the best parts of the performance that I saw was Ariel singing "Part of Your World" and Ursula singing "Poor Unfortunate Souls". Both actors had very strong voices and it led to an interesting and strong performance on their end.
While this musical may not have been everyone's first choice this year due to thinking there were more interesting options, once seeing the production everybody appreciated the talented performance that these hard working actors provided.
All cast and crew members put their all into this show with practicing months ahead of time and all it showed throughout all the scenes. The Theatre Department is already preparing for their next production "The One-Act Play That Goes Wrong" and will be performed May 4-5 in the Performing Art Center. @LPSfinearts is the username on all Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and find updates on all their productions.

Sometimes I enter my quilts in judged shows. The first time I entered one, it was scary as all get out because I had no clue what to expect or how to feel. I looked around a lot of posts about the process, the "rules", and general knowledge type questions. Turns out, it is all a bit hush hush or my google-foo is bad! I decided to be ultra transparent about the judging from an entrants perspective. I'll show you my judging forms, my general thoughts about those forms, and a list of "rules" I've picked up through experience.
I'm sure many more little bullets will appear as I keep entering shows! Want to see lots of details? Here are all of the blog posts that include judge's feedback forms!
My quilts were judged in the Vintage View Quilt show. See the judges feedback for Dizzy Dresdens, That's One Hot Dog! and Bruiser.


One way to make your after school programs really successful is to work with the school district to setup a bus stop on program days. You will need support from some key people including your director, media specialist, principal and superintendent.
The school will send you an email each program day with a list of students getting off the bus for that particular day. Just because children signed up for the program, doesn't necessarily mean they will be getting off the bus. They maybe sick, they may have a doctor's appointment, a sports meeting may have come up. There are lots of variables.
Wait at the bus stop and use the newly emailed Bus List as an attendance sheet. Do a roll call as the children get off the bus. If there are any discrepancies, notify the school immediately.
Take the children inside and call everyone into your program space.
Take attendance for all children before you begin your program for children. (There will be children who come with their parents or friends.) Again, I download the list of registrants into Excel from Eventbrite. I add columns of each date and take attendance at the beginning of each program. This took a little time to iron out since the children were not used to it. But they caught on quickly, especially since they do this in school on a regular basis.
Now you have a list of children who are with you. This will come in handy if there happens to be an emergency in the building. If you have to evacuate the building for any reason, you now have a list of children and their emergency contact numbers!
This system has worked for the past few years and is amazing! I now have a list of families who regularly come to the library. I can notify the lists of program cancellations due to weather or illness. I can remind families of library closings for holidays. I always have contact information for children if needed. (You never know when a child will get sick!) Best of all, the families in our community see the public library and school district working together for the benefit of their children. It's a win-win!
What tips do you have for streamlining after school programs?
OMG, Lisa. You just blew my mind. How did I not think of this?
I'm going to spend the rest of my day stunned.

Masala: The Cast of 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' Are Kicking Open Doors for the Future of the MCU
Movies September 7, 2021 September 21, 2021 by Florence Lo
After years of waiting, Marvel's first Asian superhero movie is finally here, much to the excitement of the cast, the creators and the fans. Settle down as the stars, director and writer discuss what being a part of "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" means to them and more.
Set after "Avengers: Endgame," the movie follows Simu Liu's Shang-Chi as he confronts his past and the sinister Ten Rings organization he thought he escaped. While the character and the world are rooted in the Marvel comics, the writing team actually strayed away from the comics' original stereotypical depiction. "We weren't adapting any recognizable version of Shang Chi's story into a film," screenwriter Dave Callaham revealed. "We were creating a story that, yes, has elements of some of the [comic] books but was really it's own new thing."
"Shang-Chi" still features a multitude of martial arts and action pieces, pulling notes from stunt choreographers from Asia to make them realistic while maintaining that Marvel touch. Liu described the months of training he went through to embody the physicality of his character, while Awkwafina, aka Nora Lum, joked how she had an easier time preparing for the role. "It was all mental for me since there was really no physical aspect that she's bringing to this movie," Lum said with a laugh, "so it was mainly mental preparation, but it was really fun!"
But beyond all the grandeur of a big franchise and the superhero action is a deep understanding that making this movie is quite personal for many of the cast and crew. "It really was surprisingly very emotional and special once I realized that I was in the middle of directing a scene with people that look like me for the first time in my career," director Destin Daniel Cretton expressed, discussing what it was like on set. "I've never done that—I've never directed a scene full of people who look like me."
"I think it's incredible that we have not just one, but like so many badass Asian characters," Liu added. "There's just so many different characters and they encompass the breadth of … so many Asian characters each with their own sets of experiences and dimensionality."
Even Meng'er Zhang, the actress from China who plays Shang-Chi's younger sister, Xialing, acknowledged the importance of this film, saying, "Asian representation is so important and when they see this film, Asian kids who grew up in America—who grew up in western countries—can have a superhero that they can look up to."
The success of "Shang-Chi" is larger than fulfilling the box office and that is something that the stars, creators and audiences alike understand. "The ultimate goal," Callahan insisted, "is to kick open a door that just makes more opportunities for more Asian stories but also any people of color or any underrepresented grouping of people to be presented in a very large scale way."
Since its premiere on September 3, "Shang-Chi" had finished the Labor Day weekend with over $90 million at the box office, not only debuting better than previously expected but also breaking the long weekend's previous record set by 2007's "Halloween."

"The First Grader", by Justin Chadwick
Screening on 11 September
Runtime: 103'
In a small, remote mountain top primary school in the Kenyan bush, hundreds of children are jostling for a chance for the free education newly promised by the Kenyan government. One new applicant causes astonishment when he knocks on the door of the school. He is Maruge, an old Mau Mau veteran in his eighties, who is desperate to learn to read at this late stage of his life. He fought for the liberation of his country and now feels he must have the chance of an education so long denied - even if it means sitting in a classroom alongside six-year-olds.
This critically acclaimed film, starring Oliver Litondo and Naomi Harris, has been included in the official selections of the Telluride, Toronto International, London, and Durban International film festivals.
The film was followed by a Q&A, with:
Dr. Obdaiah Mailafia (The African, Caribbean, and Pacific Group of States Secretariat)
Ms. Jeniffer Njiru (Embassy of the Republic of Kenya)
Ms. Marie-Paule Roudil (UNESCO Representative to the EU)
Ms. Joanna Maycock (Head of Europe, ActionAid)

Security specialist Abloy UK has provided an innovative access control solution for a primary school in South Gloucestershire, helping to balance freedom of movement with building security and pupil safety.
Abloy's Smartair access control system was installed in a primary school in South Gloucestershire on the school's 39 internal and external doors, as well as the perimeter gates.
Smartair is a revolutionary card-read access control platform that offers convenience and real flexibility, and easily adapts to all kinds of new-build and retrofit installations in the education sector.
Teachers can unlock the classroom doors by simply swiping their card against the Smartair door handle. A 'double swipe' keeps the classroom door unlocked to allow pupils in and out during break times and once all pupils have returned, the doors can be locked again with a second 'double swipe'.
In the event of an emergency, the door can be swiftly opened by pressing the handle down, with no need for a key or card.
Smartair cards are also issued to local village organisations, which hire the school's sports hall outside school hours. The cards will only open doors that lead to the sports hall and are programmed to allow access on specific dates and times to maintain security and prevent the hall being double booked.
"Providing a safe learning environment for pupils is important to all schools. It can be difficult to secure fire escape and playground doors because they are often propped open to allow pupils and staff to move around easily.
"This is very much a flagship project for the area, with two local schools amalgamated in to one attractive learning centre.
For further information on the full range of Abloy locking solutions available or to download a catalogue, visit the website www.abloy.co.uk.


Retail sales in central London in January were 3.5% higher on a like-for-like basis than a year ago, when sales had risen 6.5%. This was the worst January sales growth since 2005.
Retail footfall in January fell well below its year-earlier level, to show the weakest January performance ever. Very cold snowy weather and less discounting than a year ago meant people made fewer shopping trips but it seems those that did get out spent more.
The stronger pound in January lessened London's price advantage for visitors from western Europe. Chinese visitors were still more numerous than last year, though the Chinese New Year falling later this year may have delayed sales for some.
Food sales benefited from the snow, as shoppers stocked up on basic essentials. Non-essentials and discretionary homewares struggled, though showed gains for some in clearance sales. Clothing, footwear and warm accessories were driven by the very cold and snowy weather.

Based in Baltimore, Maryland, Scott G. Brooks is a surrealist painter whose warped, uncompromising portraiture and nightmarish worlds tackle the political, psychological and social issues facing modern society. His work combines black humour and distorted, disfigured anatomy to create landscapes and characterisations of unquestionable horror, much like the dark, unearthly realities imagined by such artists as Stefan Zsaitsits, William Schaff, and Tim Burton.
In recent years, Scott G. Brooks has garnered more attention and has seen his work exhibited in galleries all around the world, e.g. Australia, England, and Italy.
You are simply drawn to how bizarre some of these are.
Yeah, some odd thinking must go into these paintings.
Yikes! I can't "unsee" that! But the artistic technique is excellent.
Some of the imagery within his paintings is simply disturbing.
There is something about weird, surrealist art that I prefer so much more. I want something that is going to catch my attention.
new goal as an artist creep this guy out! these are some seriously nice pieces!

Editorial cartoon and illustration
An editorial cartoon, also known as a political cartoon, is a drawing containing a commentary expressing the artist's opinion. An artist who writes and draws such images is known as an editorial cartoonist. They typically combine artistic skill, hyperbole and satire in order to question authority and draw attention to corruption, political violence and other social ills.[1][2]
Developed in England in the latter part of the 18th century, James Gillray was a pioneer of the political cartoon.[3] Founded in 1841, the British periodical Punch appropriated the term cartoon to refer to its political cartoons, which led to the term's widespread use.[4]
The pictorial satire has been credited as the precursor to the political cartoons in England: John J. Richetti, in The Cambridge history of English literature, 1660–1780, states that "English graphic satire really begins with Hogarth's Emblematical Print on the South Sea Scheme".[7][8] William Hogarth's pictures combined social criticism with sequential artistic scenes. A frequent target of his satire was the corruption of early 18thcentury British politics. An early satirical work was an Emblematical Print on the South Sea Scheme (c.1721), about the disastrous stock market crash of 1720 known as the South Sea Bubble, in which many English people lost a great deal of money.[9]
His art often had a strong moralizing element to it, such as in his masterpiece of 1732–33, A Rake's Progress, engraved in 1734. It consisted of eight pictures that depicted the reckless life of Tom Rakewell, the son of a rich merchant, who spends all of his money on luxurious living, services from sex workers, and gambling—the character's life ultimately ends in Bethlem Royal Hospital.[10]
However, his work was only tangentially politicized and was primarily regarded on its artistic merits. George Townshend, 1st Marquess Townshend produced some of the first overtly political cartoons and caricatures in the 1750s.[8][11]
The medium began to develop in England in the latter part of the 18th century—especially around the time of the French Revolution—under the direction of its great exponents, James Gillray and Thomas Rowlandson, both from London. Gillray explored the use of the medium for lampooning and caricature, and has been referred to as the father of the political cartoon.[3] Calling the king, prime ministers and generals to account, many of Gillray's satires were directed against George III, depicting him as a pretentious buffoon, while the bulk of his work was dedicated to ridiculing the ambitions of Revolutionary France and Napoleon.[3] The times in which Gillray lived were peculiarly favourable to the growth of a great school of caricature. Party warfare was carried on with great vigour and not a little bitterness; and personalities were freely indulged in on both sides. Gillray's incomparable wit and humour, knowledge of life, fertility of resource, keen sense of the ludicrous, and beauty of execution, at once gave him the first place among caricaturists.[13]
George Cruikshank became the leading cartoonist in the period following Gillray (1820s–40s). His early career was renowned for his social caricatures of English life for popular publications. He gained notoriety with his political prints that attacked the royal family and leading politicians and was bribed in 1820 "not to caricature His Majesty" (George IV) "in any immoral situation". His work included a personification of England named John Bull who was developed from about 1790 in conjunction with other British satirical artists such as Gillray and Rowlandson.[14]
Cartoonist's magazines
The art of the editorial cartoon was further developed with the publication of the British periodical Punch in 1841, founded by Henry Mayhew and engraver Ebenezer Landells (an earlier magazine that published cartoons was Monthly Sheet of Caricatures, printed from 1830 and an important influence on Punch).[15] It was bought by Bradbury and Evans in 1842, who capitalised on newly evolving mass printing technologies to turn the magazine into a preeminent national institution. The term "cartoon" to refer to comic drawings was coined by the magazine in 1843; the Houses of Parliament were to be decorated with murals, and "carttons" for the mural were displayed for the public; the term "cartoon" then meant a finished preliminary sketch on a large piece of cardboard, or cartone in Italian. Punch humorously appropriated the term to refer to its political cartoons, and the popularity of the Punch cartoons led to the term's widespread use.[4]
Artists who published in Punch during the 1840s and 50s included John Leech, Richard Doyle, John Tenniel and Charles Keene. This group became known as "The Punch Brotherhood", which also included Charles Dickens who joined Bradbury and Evans after leaving Chapman and Hall in 1843. Punch authors and artists also contributed to another Bradbury and Evans literary magazine called Once A Week (est.1859), created in response to Dickens' departure from Household Words.
The most prolific and influential cartoonist of the 1850s and 60s was John Tenniel, chief cartoon artist for Punch, who perfected the art of physical caricature and representation to a point that has changed little up to the present day. For over five decades he was a steadfast social witness to the sweeping national changes that occurred during this period alongside his fellow cartoonist John Leech. The magazine loyally captured the general public mood; in 1857, following the Indian Rebellion and the public outrage that followed, Punch published vengeful illustrations such as Tenniel's Justice and The British Lion's Vengeance on the Bengal Tiger.
By the mid 19th century, major political newspapers in many countries featured cartoons designed to express the publisher's opinion on the politics of the day. One of the most successful was Thomas Nast in New York City, who imported realistic German drawing techniques to major political issues in the era of the Civil War and Reconstruction. Nast was most famous for his 160 editorial cartoons attacking the criminal characteristics of Boss Tweed's political machine in New York City. Albert Boime argues that:
As a political cartoonist, Thomas Nast wielded more influence than any other artist of the 19th century. He not only enthralled a vast audience with boldness and wit, but swayed it time and again to his personal position on the strength of his visual imagination. Both Lincoln and Grant acknowledged his effectiveness in their behalf, and as a crusading civil reformer he helped destroy the corrupt Tweed Ring that swindled New York City of millions of dollars. Indeed, his impact on American public life was formidable enough to profoundly affect the outcome of every presidential election during the period 1864 to 1884.[16]
Notable editorial cartoons include Benjamin Franklin's Join, or Die (1754), on the need for unity in the American colonies; The Thinkers Club (1819), a response to the surveillance and censorship of universities in Germany under the Carlsbad Decrees; and E. H. Shepard's The Goose-Step (1936), on the rearmament of Germany under Hitler. The Goose-Step is one of a number of notable cartoons first published in the British Punch magazine.
Institutions which archive and document editorial cartoons include the Center for the Study of Political Graphics in the United States,[17] and the British Cartoon Archive in the United Kingdom.[18]
Editorial cartoons and editorial cartoonists are recognised by a number of awards, for example the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning (for US cartoonists, since 1922) and the British Press Awards' "Cartoonist of the Year".
Modern political cartoons
Political cartoons can usually be found on the editorial page of many newspapers, although a few (such as Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury) are sometimes placed on the regular comic strip page. Most cartoonists use visual metaphors and caricatures to address complicated political situations, and thus sum up a current event with a humorous or emotional picture.
Yaakov Kirschen, creator of the Israeli comic strip Dry Bones, says his cartoons are designed to make people laugh, which makes them drop their guard and see things the way he does. In an interview, he defined his objective as a cartoonist as an attempt to "seduce rather than to offend." [19]
Modern political cartooning can be built around traditional visual metaphors and symbols such as Uncle Sam, the Democratic donkey and the Republican elephant. One alternative approach is to emphasize the text or the story line, as seen in Doonesbury which tells a linear story in comic strip format.
Cartoons have a great potential to political communication capable of enhancing political comprehension and reconceptualization of events, through specific frames of understanding (Mateus, 2016). Mateus' analysis "seems to indicate that the double standard thesis can be actually applied to trans-national contexts. This means that the framing of politics and business may not be limited to one country but may reflect a political world-view occurring in contemporary societies. From the double standard standpoint, there are no fundamental differences in the way Canadian political cartoonists and Portuguese political cartoons assess politics and business life" (Mateus, 2016:216). The paper does not tell that all political cartoons are based on this kind of double standard, but suggests that the double standard thesis in Political Cartoons may be a frequent frame among possible others.
A political cartoon commonly draws on two unrelated events and brings them together incongruously for humorous effect. The humour can reduce people's political anger and so serves a useful purpose. Such a cartoon also reflects real life and politics, where a deal is often done on unrelated proposals beyond public scrutiny.
Pocket cartoons
A pocket cartoon is a form of cartoon which generally consists of a topical political gag/joke and appears as a single-panel single-column drawing. It was introduced by Osbert Lancaster in 1939 at the Daily Express.[20] A 2005 obituary by The Guardian of its pocket cartoonist David Austin said "Newspaper readers instinctively look to the pocket cartoon to reassure them that the disasters and afflictions besetting them each morning are not final. By taking a sideways look at the news and bringing out the absurd in it, the pocket cartoonist provides, if not exactly a silver lining, then at least a ray of hope."[21]
Editorial cartoons sometimes cause controversies.[22] Examples include the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy (stemming from the publication of cartoons of Muhammad) and the 2007 Bangladesh cartoon controversy.
Libel lawsuits have been rare. In Britain, the first successful lawsuit against a cartoonist in over a century came in 1921 when J.H. Thomas, the leader of the National Union of Railwaymen (NUR), initiated libel proceedings against the magazine of the British Communist Party. Thomas claimed defamation in the form of cartoons and words depicting the events of "Black Friday"—when he allegedly betrayed the locked-out Miners' Federation. Thomas won his lawsuit, and restored his reputation.[23]

During the Pleistocene epoch, massive continental glaciers, similar to the present Greenland and Antarctic ice caps, covered broad parts of the continents. The glaciers waxed and waned in cycles, probably because of climatic variations, causing vast changes to the morphology of coastal regions in the northern latitudes. As a result, glacially modified features dominate the northern coasts and continental shelves, although in many areas marine processes have reworked the shore and substantially modified the glacial imprint.
The most spectacular erosion forms are drowned glacial valleys known as fjords. The over-deepened valleys were invaded by the sea as sea level rose during the Holocene epoch. Today, fjords retain the typical U-shaped profile that is also seen in formerly glaciated mountain valleys. Fjords and other drowned glacial erosion features give Maine a spectacular, rugged coastline.
A fundamental division of coastal characteristics occurs along the Atlantic coast of North America due to the presence of glacial moraines. The Wisconsin terminal moraine formed a prominent series of islands (i.e., Long Island, Block Island, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard) and offshore banks (Georges and Nova Scotian Banks). South of the moraine, the topography is flatter and more regular, except for piedmont streams, which intersect the coastal plain.
Glaciated coasts typically display a greater variety of geomorphic forms than coasts in warmer latitudes. The forms include purely glacial, glacio-fluvial and marine types. Complexity is added by marine reworking of sediments, which can produce barriers, shoals, gravel shores and steep-cliffed shores. Because of the steep slopes of many glaciated coasts, slumping and turbidity flow are major erosive agents. In northern latitudes, the shallow seafloor is gouged by icebergs.
Because glacial ice is studded with rock fragments plucked from the underlying rock, a moving glacier performs like a giant rasp that scours the underlying land surfaces. This process, driven by the great size and weight of the ice sheets, caused enormous erosion and modification to thousands of square kilometers during the Pleistocene epoch.
As a glacier moves, huge amounts of sediment are incorporated into the moving mass. When the ice melts at the glacial front's farthest advance, the sediment load is dropped. Although the major part of the transported material is dumped in the form of a terminal moraine, some sediments are carried further downstream by meltwater streams. The result is a number of distinct geomorphic features such as drumlins, fjords, moraines and outwash plains that may appear along the coast or on the submerged continental shelf.
The Alaska Panhandle is a rugged, deep coast defined by glacial features as well as tectonic activity. It consists of deep fjords and many glaciers, which carry large amounts of gravel and rock to the coast. This material forms outwash fans and gravel beaches where the glaciers reach the ocean and deposit loads of sediment. Volcanic eruptions on the western side of this coast also provide sediment, and earthquakes cause changes in the elevation of the land.
The ocean along this area of the Alaskan coast generally does not freeze. The waves therefore constantly re-work glacial and volcanic sediments.
Coasts altered by glaciers usually have offshore regions that are highly dissected by relict drainage systems. These sinuous stream channels display highly irregular and varied topography. They are composed of sediment types ranging from outwash sand and gravels, to till, which consists of many types of intermingled sediments from clay to boulders.
Pleistocene Period: The geological period from about 1.8 million years ago to 8,000 years ago.
Holocene Period: The most recent geological period from about 8,000 years ago to the present.
Slump: A movement along a curved surface in which the upper part moves vertically downward while the lower part moves outward.
Turbidity Flow: A flowing mass of sediment-laden water.
The Gulf of Alaska contains many volcanoes, which continue into the Aleutian Islands Chain.

Oregon's landscape is rich with dense wooded areas. As the seasons change, so do the mushrooms. Spring heralds rising temperatures, so you'll probably want to spend more time outside. Mushroom foraging is a great way to get out, commune with nature and bring home a tasty treat. This guide is an introduction to mushroom hunting, and should not be treated as a complete resource. For more information please see the additional resources at the bottom of this article.
Do not eat it unless you're confident. If you have any uncertainties it's best to consult an expert.
Know your trees (most choice edible mushrooms grow along with specific trees).
Don't get discouraged when you don't get lucky right away. Spending more time in the field and practicing IDs will yield greater success with each expedition.
Make a spore print. Especially with gilled mushrooms (like oyster mushrooms), spore color can be a useful aspect for identification. It's best to cut the stem as close to the cap as possible, place it on a piece of paper and cover it with a glass, bowl or jar. Leave the cap for a couple hours up to a day. It's best to use checkered black and white paper in case the spores are light in color.
The Siuslaw National Forest, which surrounds Florence, does not require a permit. Personal foraging is limited to one gallon. For any larger amount, you would need a permit.
A free permit can be obtained from the Forest Service for the Deschutes, Fremont-Winema, Willamette and Umpqua national forests. Permits are valid through the end of each calendar year, and clearly state what is and is not allowed.
Privately owned forests each have their own regulations. Some sell permits, some do not. It is illegal to forage in any state park.
There are laws restricting the harvest of certain mushrooms such as matsutake, due to their rarity and/or commercial value. For more clarity on harvest laws, research the specific area you want to pick, and find out who manages the land.
The most promising foraging spots for a sizable find of edible mushrooms are located in the national forests.
From Eugene/Springfield Area try Willamette National Forest or Siuslaw National Forest. For ease, use trailheads off of Hwy 56 or 126 in Willamette N. F., and trailheads off of Hwy 126 for the Siuslaw National Forest.
From Florence, most of the Siuslaw N. F. is easily accessible. Depending on whether you are looking for coastal species, you may want to consider accessing the Siuslaw along U.S. 101 or further inland along Hwy 126.
Every mushroomer needs something to carry their loot. A woven basket is the most commonly suggested item to carry your spoils.
Why not just use a plastic bag? It's important to keep your mushrooms protected while still able to disperse spores. Putting mushrooms in a permeable container allows the spores to be carried off in the wind as you move throughout the forest. Having a sturdy container is also nice, because it can protect your mushrooms better than a flimsy container.
A pair of gloves can be useful too when trying to soften up the soil around a mushroom. A knife is a must-have. Sometimes you can't pluck a mushroom, like ones growing on trees, and you need to cut them from away from their substrate.
Rain pants are great, even when it isn't raining. Whether it's mud, water or thorns, protect your pants from foliage near the ground.
A compass and a whistle are useful, especially for those who keep their eyes on the ground and tend to forget where they're going.
Spring King Bolete is a relatively large mushroom. The cap is matte, not slimy. The underside of the cap has pores for spore disbursement. The pores create a sponge-like surface. Pores will be white when young and turn cream-yellow as they mature. The stem is typically thick and bulbous. Look for these mid to late spring.
Oyster Mushrooms grow on trees, typically on hardwoods, but you can find them growing on conifers as well. They are typically found decomposing logs or dead trees, but they can be found on live trees. The cap of the mushroom is typically convex to flat. The gills are typically closely packed, and run along most of the underside of the mushroom and down the stem. Gills are pale/gray, sometimes turning yellowish with age.
Mushroom hunting is very community driven. There's lots of great resources available for free and to purchase.
Mushroomexpert.com and mushroomobserver.org are great online resources.
Mushroomexpert.com has a detailed description of most fungi, as well as useful information and classification.
Mushroomobserver.org is a community operated site, so it can be a great resource for learning about mushrooms by locale.
Identification books are probably the most useful resource when trying to identify common or interesting mushrooms.
"Mushrooms Demystified" and "All That the Rain Promises and More" by David Arora are a must-have for mushroom lovers. "MD" has detailed descriptions and keys to help with a confident identification. "All That the Rain Promises" is the companion book to "MD" that is much smaller and works great as a field guide.
"Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest" by Joe Ammirati and Steve Trudell has wonderful pictures of mushrooms native to the Pacific Northwest. It's local focus is its most useful attribute.
"Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast" by Christian Schwarz and Noah Siegel details mushrooms along a large portion of California's coastal regions. Many of the sought after species detailed in the guide are also found in Oregon.
In addition, the Cascade Mycological Society in Eugene is a great place to bring any questions you may have. The local group provides a place for collective knowledge. CMS meets at Amazon Park and has events for both the public and for members.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2016
(Sec. 2) This bill revises whistle-blower protections for a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employee or job applicant who discloses wrongdoing to an appropriate official.
Specifically, it prohibits an FBI or Department of Justice (DOJ) employee from taking or failing to take a personnel action (e.g., demotion) with respect to an FBI employee or applicant because of a protected disclosure. A protected disclosure is a disclosure of information to an appropriate official which an employee or applicant reasonably believes evidences: (1) a violation of a law, rule, or regulation; or (2) waste, fraud, or abuse. The bill expands the list of appropriate officials who may receive a protected disclosure to include a supervisor in an employee's direct chain of command.
Additionally, the bill sets forth procedures for filing, investigating, adjudicating, and reviewing whistle-blower retaliation complaints.
An FBI employee or applicant may file a complaint with DOJ's Office of Inspector General (OIG), which must investigate and decide whether reasonable grounds exist to believe that a prohibited personnel action occurred.
If either party files an objection to the OIG's decision, then an administrative law judge (ALJ) must review it, on the record, and issue a written decision. The ALJ's determination becomes final, unless it is appealed to or reviewed by DOJ. Any ALJ or DOJ determination is subject to judicial review.

White Gold Wielder
(The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, #3)
by Stephen R. Donaldson
Type: speculative fiction
Speculative fiction is a broad umbrella category of narrative fiction referring to any fiction story that includes elements, settings and characters whose features are created out of imagination and speculation rather than based on attested reality and everyday life. That encompasses the genres of science fiction, fantasy, science fantasy, horror, alternative history, and magic realism.
Genres: fantasy > high fantasy
Locus Award nominee 1984.
White Gold Wielder is the final volume in The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, and the sixth in the phenomenally successful fantasy series. It continues the story of Thomas Covenant and Linden Avery's fight to rid the Land of Lord Foul's pestilence – the Sunbane.
From bitter defeat on the Isle of the One Tree, Thomas Covenant, Linden Avery and the Giants of The Search take ship again. But the Giantship, Starfare's Gem, is crippled, and, captured by the unassailable power of the Dolewind, she sets course for the perils of the dangerous shifting sea of Giantish legend. Across the frozen oceans, the Search is led back to the Land, now perilously close to destruction from the ravages of the Sunbane. And in the fastness of Revelstone, the Clave feed the growing power of the Banefire with the blood of the Land's people.
Once, Covenant could have faced and defeated the Clave's power. Now, torn by guilt and self-doubt, he must match his magic to that which the Raver has at his command, and must find a way to purge the venom Lord Foul has set to destroy him.
As they are drawn inexorably towards the caverns deep below Mount Thunder, Covenant and Linden Avery prepare to meet their bitterest foe. Even the white gold they carry may not serve against Lord Foul's powers. For once the wild magic is unleashed, the Arch of Time will crack – and Lord Foul's conquest of the Land will be assured.

Jeff Sessions confirms he's going after states that have legalized marijuana
'Today's THC levels are so high that it's causing violence'
WASHINGTON D.C. (INTELLIHUB) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions told reporters who were at the Department of Justice Monday that "experts" have been telling him that marijuana causes "violence" and is no good.
'I'm definitely not a fan of the drugs expanded use,' Sessions said.
"I believe it's an unhealthy practice and current levels of THC in marijuana are very high compared to what they were a few years ago."
"Most of you probably know I don't think America is going to be a better place when more people of all ages and particularly young people start smoking pot," Sessions pointed out.
"I would just say it does remain a violation of federal law to distribute marijuana throughout any place in the United States, whether a state legalizes it or not."
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions (Gage Skidmore/Flickr)
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said last week that he expects to see "greater enforcement" of federal laws when it comes to recreational marijuana.
@jeffsessions wants "greater enforcement" of fed. marijuana laws, according to @seanspicer. Will this be a move forward for the US or back?

Don't let Halloween scare you
Greg Erlandson / CNS | 10.24.2019
Category: Columns
Article: Custom of dressing up for Halloween 'devotional in spirit,' says bishop
Sometimes kids can be way more sensible than grown-ups.
When the "Harry Potter" series was all the rage (has it stopped being all the rage yet?), there was a mild hysteria whipped up in certain fundamentalist circles that the series was a sneaky way to seduce children into witchcraft.
Ignoring the long tradition of fairy tales and fables, of King Arthur's Round Table and "The Lord of the Rings," even some Catholics became quite agitated about this camel's nose under the Christian tent.
I asked my kids -- all of whom had devoured the series with nary a smidge of demonic possession -- what they thought about this argument. My daughter replied with the kind of eye-rolling confidence that only a preteen can muster: "Dad, magic isn't real!"
Duh, dad!
Indeed, beneath the veneer of potions and wands and broomsticks is a tale of good versus evil. Like so many other great stories that consumed us when we were young, the J.K. Rowling stories are full of lessons about friendship, sacrifice, courage and faithfulness. These are the lessons my children took from the books.
What prompted my thoughts about Harry Potter was the rapid approach of Halloween. There are similar debates that take place in some circles about the appropriateness of a holiday that celebrates ghouls and goblins and all sorts of spooky delights. I find it scary that adults seem to worry more about their kids dressing up in a costume than the real manifestations of evil.
Memo to handwringing adults: Ghouls and goblins and various ghostly apparitions don't exist, but lust, greed, pride, envy and anger most certainly do. And they are far more frightening.
Halloween is part of a trilogy of feasts that Christians have for centuries celebrated. The feast itself comes before All Saints' Day (known as All Hallows' Day). So the root of Halloween is All Hallows' Eve, meaning the evening before All Hallows' Day. And of course All Saints' Day is followed by All Souls' Day, which is the real "festivus for the rest of us."
These days, Halloween costumes tend toward superheroes rather than old-fashioned monsters. Last Halloween in my neighborhood, the Black Panther was far and away the favorite superhero.
Restoring what once was part of the Halloween tradition, Catholic schools often have kids dress up as saints, spiritual superheroes, a custom that all of my children did when fourth graders.
All of which brings me to the best part of Halloween: It is such a neighborhood celebration.
Parents walk with their kids and chat with neighbors they haven't talked with in a year. Dads are sipping from their beer koozies, while moms are oohing and aahing over princess dresses and Spider-Man suits. People get out and walk their neighborhoods, remembering what it's like when we aren't always dashing to our cars and speeding off to work or the store.
Halloween is a rare moment when we get to make kids smile. When we give them a tiny gift and hear their parents in a stage whisper remind them to "say thank you." It is a time to trot out the wagon to haul about the smallest children while they cling to plastic buckets heavy with candy.
Even the teen trick-or-treaters don't bother me, since they are -- consciously or not -- hanging on to a bit of their youth, to a bit of innocence.
It's a community festival, and worth celebrating as such. And best of all, we can all go to Mass on All Saints' Day and ask forgiveness for stealing candy from our children when they finally fell fast asleep, leaving their buckets unguarded.

Laura Sawyer (February 3, 1885 – September 7, 1970) was an American film actress on stage and in silent films.

Early life
Sawyer was born in Iron County, Missouri, the daughter of Alvah Hayden and Laurette Sawyer. Her father was a doctor. By 1900 she was a boarder at the Ursuline Academy in St. Louis.

Career
Sawyer began her career on stage with the Otis Skinner theatrical company and performed in Shakespeare's plays for two years. She also toured with E. H. Sothern. She joined the Edison Studios while still in her early twenties. She almost immediately found stardom at Edison and remained with the studio until 1913.  Her most memorable performance during the period was probably playing the title role in The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter (1912).  Over her tenure with his film studio Thomas Edison was said to have considered Sawyer as his favorite actress. She later joined the Famous Players Film Company where she played Kate Kirby in the detective films Chelsea 7750, An Hour Before Dawn and The Port of Doom, all released in 1913, and was praised for her performance in The Daughter of the Hills, also produced in 1913. In 1914, she starred with Betty Harte in A Woman's Triumph where they played roles as sisters of widely different temperament. Sawyer's last known film appearance was in The Daughter of the People, produced by the Dyreda Art Film Corporation in 1915.

Personal life and death
Sawyer disappeared from the public eye until her death in 1970. At some point she married Charles Frederick Wolff and spent time living in Florida and New Jersey.  Her daughter Hayden grew up in Manhattan, New York, and Bronxville, New York. She died on September 7, 1970, in Emory Manor Nursing Home in Matawan, New Jersey, aged 85.

My love of travel started young. When I was 7, my family moved to Sweden for 6 months for my father's work. Over the next 5 years we were extremely lucky to return to Europe multiple times and also live in Belgium for a while. I attended schools and we got the chance to go on road trips and see neighbouring countries. At that stage what really excited me was trying to learn words in the local languages and I also spent a lot of time looking at maps.
It seems inevitable that when I could finally afford to travel as an adult that Europe would be my first real port of call. From there I was hooked again, so much so that 2 years ago I packed it all in to travel the world and haven't stopped since.
Having been born in Australia, we're a long way from most other countries in the world and with no land borders, it's at least one flight for any overseas travel. This sense of isolation I think makes Australians more eager to go out and see the world because it feels momentous and challenging. We also live in a multicultural society with influences from all over the world, which gives us a taste of all these cultures and makes us want to head out to experience them in full. Nearly everywhere I've been, people have been surprised and happy to learn that I'm an Australian from the other side of the world.
I have quite a few stories of where things have gone either through bad luck or by my own hand, often resulting in me getting lost in the middle of nowhere. One time it meant finding my way down a large hillside, crawling down a steep rock face and passing through people's backyards on the Bolivian island of Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca. All so I wouldn't miss my ferry!
A highlight from this year so far has to be experiencing the local Carnival festival held in the Belgian city of Aalst. I went with friends who lived in Belgium, watched the parade from their friends' balcony and then in the evening dressed up and partied in the main square. It was so much fun and people were rapt when they found out I wasn't Belgian but had still come to see their festival.
You have your own website, travelelsewhere.net. You state that you focus on places that are not so noticed by other travellers. Can you give us some examples?
To me it seems silly that these days there are places that are actively trying to turn away tourists like Barcelona and Venice, and then so many places that see barely any. I also quite like the sense of not knowing what I'm going to find in a destination, so it made sense to try and share some places less travelled. I've found Central and Eastern Europe to be extremely good for that. Many of these countries are mostly unfamiliar to Western tourists, like say Bulgaria and Latvia.
In Bulgaria there are places like the university city of Plovdiv with its many Roman and Ottoman ruins, but also alternative bars and cafes. It's also home to the Sand Pyramids of Melnik, big wavy sandstone hills that surround the small winegrowing villages around Melnik. Latvia on the other hand, has castles galore along its picturesque Gauja Valley in towns like Sigulda and Cesis. It also has some beautiful beaches at the seaside towns of Jurmala and Liepaja. The old concrete bunkers used in World War II that are scattered along the beaches north of Liepaja are also just incredible.
I definitely think that finding the balance between travelling and running my site is one of my biggest challenges doing what I'm doing. You really have to make sure you set aside or find time to write, edit photos, share content and that's just the day to day. That being said, there's definitely a sense of achievement when I look back at a particularly good article or photo. One of my most fulfilling parts is when I get comments from people local to an article I've written saying how happy they are to read what I've said and shown about their hometown.
I'd say most places I've been have left me surprised to some degree, but Cuba would have to be an obvious answer, because there's no way I could have expected what visiting there on my own would actually be like. Society in Cuban runs so different to what I'm used to and while it could be challenging at times, I was glad to get to see it in action.
Bosnia Herzegovina would have to be another country that surprised me. My mental image was the country 20 years ago and while there are still reminders, I was totally unprepared for how beautiful the nature was and how friendly the people are. Bosnia Herzegovina was one of the first times I got to see a different side to Europe beyond the typical west.
The places I tend to have high on my bucket list are there because they seem so different to anywhere I've been before. So visiting countries in Africa like Ethiopia and Tanzania for their incredible landscapes and wildlife are right at the top, as well as countries like Oman and Iran for their fascinating culture and historical sites. The one place that has been on my bucket list the longest is the Faroe Islands due to their isolation and haunting, Nordic landscapes.
That's a tough question honestly. These days I jokingly say I'm "homeless", but it's not completely untrue. My concept of home has shifted drastically the last few years and gone from a set geographical place to somewhere where I have long-term friends, family and a sense of rest. With family conveniently close in Vienna, that is probably the most likely of any answer.
Well I was just exploring Hungary, Romania and Serbia, but I'll be spending several months in South East Asia between August and November, as well as visiting friends and family back home in Australia in between. Hoping to explore Malaysia more beyond Kuala Lumpur, but also see new countries like Laos and Myanmar.
Well one person I think who'd be interesting to talk to is the author Jules Verne, as I love his novel Around the World in 80 Days and would want to ask him how he was able to describe far flung places he's never been to so well. On a similar note, I think getting to ask Marco Polo about his famous travels east would be a great chance to hear some wonderful stories. I think Elon Musk is doing some incredible things at the moment and getting to chat to him about the future of technology and space travel would be riveting. And I guess last of all, why not Rowan Atkinson, because well he's such an intelligent and funny man who I'd genuinely love to meet.
The photos in this interview are from David's personal collection, showing him and his photographs from Hanoi (Vietnam), Machu Picchu, the Aalst Carnival, Melnik (Bulgaria), Jajce (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Liepaja (Latvia) and Meteora (Greece).


Newly chopped firewood is approximately 60% water, and that percentage can go even higher. This causes the wood not to burn as well. You need to season the wood first in order to let the liquid dry out until the moisture is around 20% or less. Then, it is ready for an efficient burn. Seasoning firewood means allowing the water content of the wood evaporate, which means not exposing the wood to additional moisture. Drying firewood will make it burn easily and safely.
Burning unseasoned firewood or partially seasoned wood is chancy. Unseasoned wood creates additional creosote. Creosote is the oily sticky substance that doesn't burn and is extremely flammable. It takes time before the wood gets fully dried, but it can be done in a stress-free way using some tricks and practices to speed up the process.
Pile the wood correctly so that the wood is not sitting directly on the ground. Put a base under to keep it off the ground and to avoid soil moisture. A pallet is a good base because it is a few inches higher off the ground.
Make space between the wood stack and the wall to sustain air flow. Using a pallet as the base of your stack will also provide air flow to your stack. Air can speed up the drying process.
Only cover the top 1 to 2 feet of the stack, but leave the sides open. Covering any more than that impedes air circulation. If the wood is still green, covering more will just hold in the moisture, and prevent a natural air-dry. Covering just the top also helps keep rain and snow off the wood pile.
Place your pile in a location where it can get the most possible sunlight throughout the day.
It can take up to a full year to thoroughly season a pile of wood, so make sure your technique is correct. Remember, seasoned wood is not only safer, as it produces less creosote, but it also gives you a faster and more warming fire. There will also be less smoke if you use dry wood. How do you know if the wood is dry? If you hit two pieces of wood together and hear a crisp sound, the wood is dry. If the sound is more muffled, you may be dealing with wet wood. Bottom line: prepare your wood early, keep it stacked to avoid additional moisture and yet still allow air flow. These few tips will help you get the most for your money.

Metropolitan College's Maritime Academy welcomed and hosted Mr Antonis Trakakis, Technical Manager at ARISTA Shipping, at the Lecture Hall of Piraeus Campus for a speech concerning Forward Ships, an innovative technology in sea transportation.
Forward Ships, with its patented IP Kamsarmax design and simplicity of design, enables the adoption of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as the fuel of choice for ships at a global scale. Forward Ships has applied existing and tested technology to design a cargo ship that emits up to 35% less CO2, 80% less NOx, 99% less SOx, 99% less particulate matter (PM) than conventional ships, and that can produce up to 50% savings in fuel costs. Forward Ships is the result of Project Forward, a five-year R&D effort led by Arista Shipping. With its futureproof design, Forward Ships is taking the lead in meeting IMO's 2050 emissions' reduction targets.
It is worth mentioning that, within the framework of "Shipping Leaders in Residence" institution, the School of Shipping and Maritime Studies of Metropolitan College hosts leading figures and prominent personalities of the shipping industry throughout the year, who share their long experience with the students and the general public. Hosted lectures concern a different subject each time, directly related to the shipping industry and the nautical reality, but also related to the latest developments, trends and challenges of the industry worldwide.

If you're sick of your stockings getting tangled in your drawer, or you fold them up fine but wish they looked a bit neater, I have something that will help!
I made a quick video on Facebook (live!) this week showing you how I fold our stockings really neatly, really quickly.
You can check it out below - it goes for just a couple of minutes and you can grab your stockings (or your kids' stockings) and follow along with me!


I have tested Wine 3.0 on multiple devices and read many comments on XDA from users.
And the conclusion is that the app works fine in Android 7 (Nougat) and below, but it doesn't work with Oreo.
My primary device the Samsung Galaxy S8+ offers a desktop environment titled 'Samsung DeX' where Wine would make a great degree of sense, but on the Oreo build which I am running it doesn't work, yet it works for those on the Nougat build.
*Tested on the S8+ in both phone and desktop/DeX mode.
My Nexus 6P doesn't work with it either (running Android 8.1.0).
The app will launch, run through the setting up environment dialog, and then display a black screen afterwards.
Will this issue be resolved any time soon?
I've tried every 3.x ARM build on Samsung DeX to try and run Windows desktop apps on Android desktop, but Wine on Android appears to be seeing no love from the developers.
Black/gray/yellow/green/red/puple whatever screen can be fixed by changing "Set GPU Renderer" to Skia (from developer options) and then reinstalling Wine !!!
BUT there is another problem, at least for me, I can't install new programs, because of "access denied" when clicking on the installer file (inside wine).
I think there's something to do with Oreo security permissions or something, but im not sure.
Total commander fails to change it for me.
If you restarted your phone, then you should know that reboot reverts skia back to default.
I forgot what and where but if the app could be started it had a black screen only and it was not possible to associate .exe files with the app ( options are greyed out ).
On Samsung came a message "wine has paused/stopped"
I think Trekstor has Android 6.
So it would be helpful if anyone could post on what devices this awesome app actually works without special tricks.
