In September 2015 a cinematic interpretation of travel writing superstar Bill Bryson's best selling book A Walk in the Woods will debut in movie theaters around the world. It is likely that millions will see the film and absorb images and impressions of the Appalachian Trail and long distance hiking. No doubt, given the normal "monkey see, monkey do" nature of people, some of those millions will walk out of the movie theater with a sudden conviction to hike some heroic portion of the Appalachian Trail. This phenomenon could potentially be a positive development, but one pregnant with potential problems too. I am certainly not the first observer to imagine a swarm of "noob" hikers in the wake of the film. The Appalachian Trail was imagined and created by people like Benton MacKaye and Myron Avery in the 1920s and 30s to offer the urban masses of the overcrowded east a vast natural refuge. Toward that goal, volunteer trail organizers and maintainers over the generations have been successful.
What I am about to write may trigger rebuttals, but it is true. The Appalachian Trail was not intended for thru hiking. It was not intended as a conduit of marketing for outdoor adventure products. Neither was it intended to concentrate young impressionable college age hikers for the purposes of proselytizing. Before I am mistaken for some stereotypical tree hugging, puritanical atheist killjoy, let me say simply that I am not. As a hiker, I am interested in what new gear is out in the market. Also, I am always happy to come across trail magic, the not unusual cooler full of cold sodas in the woods. After taking note of that most ubiquitous scripture (John 3:16), I drink my soda and continue along my heathen path. The vast forest all around me sways in the breeze, oblivious to my human designs. The forest is always the star of the show. I, the hiker, am an adjunct of the forest, not the other way around.
Perhaps what is least understood about Bill Bryson's famous book is its concern for serious environmental and ecological problems along the trail. These problems stem partially from climate change caused by humans, but more immediately observable is the encroachment of urban development, also caused by humans. Sheltering overnight in the winter along the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park, one notices the many electric lights of east Tennessee, a sign that economic opportunity has expanded for Appalachian populations that need it. However the requirements of the eastern mountain ecology and the new urban hives of southern Appalachia are not always harmonious.
The first part of Bryson's A Walk in the Woods narrates the adventures of the author and his beloved slob of a friend, Katz. Bryson and Katz will be played in the film version by legendary actors Robert Redford and Nick Nolte. SPOILER ALERT: their attempted thru hike falls short of Katahdin, by about two thousand miles! In 2011 when I hiked past Newfound Gap (where Bryson's attempted thru hike ends in the book) I thought, "Well, I've gone further than Bryson." I am a hiker, but I was a writer first, and so I am impressed that A Walk in the Woods is the best selling book of all time concerning the AT. The story of the book's narrator and Katz serves to capture the reader, in hopes, I suspect, she or he will continue reading the back chapters: the ones about the seventy year old coal mine fire near the AT in Pennsylvania; the Superfund site created by a half century of zinc smelting, also in Pennsylvania; species of trees dying off in the Smokies and other micro climates; the conflict of overlapping bear and human habitats in places like New Jersey. I think Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods should be taken seriously by hikers because it has touched so many people who will never step foot on the Appalachian Trail. The book is a great ambassador.
The Appalachian Trail needs ambassadors. After his historic first 1948 thru hike, Earl Shaffer found authorities at the Appalachian Trail Conference (the former name of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy) initially skeptical of his feat. Benton MacKaye dismissed Shaffer's 1948 thru hike as a stunt. It is my view that Shaffer's greatest contribution to the trail was not hiking the AT Georgia to Maine in six months in 1948, but documenting that hike with photos, notes and poems. Shaffer did not intend to become enshrined as a pioneer of an unofficial extreme sport. He wanted to be famous for his nature poetry. What he really accomplished was introducing postwar America to the wilds of eastern America, and serving as a kind of patron saint, lured thousands upon thousands of hikers to the Appalachian Trail. He also completed thru hikes among two new generations of thru hikers– in 1965 and 1997.
Earl Shaffer's photos, memoirs and poetry document his experiences and vision, but there were other great ambassadors of the trail too. Gene Espy's 1951 thru hike (the second recognized by ATC) is considered by some purists as the first legitimate thru hike, citing Shaffer's occasions of yellow blazing (taking a car ride further up trail) due to poor trail conditions after the neglect of World War Two. As I write this, Gene Espy is alive, a very old man who has been admirably generous sharing his story with groups for many decades now. Then there was Emma "Grandma" Gatewood, who thru hiked in 1955 and 1960, and once again in 1963 at age 70! She wore Keds sneakers and carried only an over the shoulder sack and slept in a plastic shower curtain. Today considered a pioneer of ultra light weight hiking, Emma Gatewood caught the attention of the Associated Press during her 1955 hike and even made the cover of Sports Illustrated and appeared on late night TV. Public figures like Shaffer, Espy and Gatewood introduced the American masses to the Appalachian Trail.
It is through the prism of ambassadorship that I view the impending arrival of the film version of Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods. The movie can provide an occasion to reintroduce the public to the Appalachian Trail, its intrinsic value as a natural area, but also, its value to the human body and spirit. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy, anticipating a spike in interest in the trail as a result of the film, is currently implementing an information campaign for the "Leave No Trace" ethical philosophy. Old Timers (by which I mean Baby Boomers) sometimes reference the easier to remember slogan from the 1970s: "Pack it in. Pack it out." In other words, if you brought it with you to the woods, bring it home with you. If you didn't know you are supposed to pack out (rather than bury or burn) your trash, now you do. "Pack it in. Pack it out" addresses litter nicely, but "Leave No Trace" offers a more comprehensive guide to ethical behavior on the Appalachian Trail.
Several of the aforementioned ethical principles can spark disagreements. A younger generation of hikers who have only known modern headlamps and quick dry clothing may not have a problem with forgoing a campfire. For many hikers, however, especially weekenders, a camp without a fire negates the attraction of camping. Some people (yes, I mean you, Timber) insist on burning trash. Ask anyone familiar with the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park what they think about burying human waste as opposed to changing federal regulations to allow privies and you're liable to spark a lively discussion. To love the Appalachian Trail is to use it, but the paradox seems to be, by using the trail, we may negatively impact it. Perhaps it is only natural that people will debate about the implications of "Leave No Trace" ethics.
If a book or a movie or anything encourages such debate, and if such debate encourages better stewardship of the Appalachian Trail, I think it is a positive development. No book or film can fully capture the inspiring grandeur of the mountains, but they can lead us there with a proper frame of mind. Bill Bryson wrote a book, I think, that portrays what remains of the eastern mountain forests as something much bigger and far more profound in meaning than just the individual hiker and his or her vanity and ambitions and ego. The mountains themselves, not just what we hope to accomplish there, is what lasts.
Happy trails. Hike your own hike. Leave no trace.

K Balachander has obliged. Will Rajni oblige?
Actress Maanu started off her career on a promising note opposite Ajith in Kaadhal Mannan directed by Saran. While things may not have gone according to plan for her in the industry she has pursued growth in her other interests, notably theatre.
Her first production, the first part of a comprehensive trilogy, was titled Bheeshma -The Grandsire and was labeled a huge success. The play was attended by the who's who of the industry along with Rajinikanth and K. Balachander. Maanu is currently planning on the second episode of her trilogy called Shakuni with a group from Singapore and she intends to stage it by the end of this month. The third installment of the series, Sthree, will follow later.
Maanu says that she has once again invited the presence of top industry people to grace the event and so far K. Balachander and Vivek have obliged. Rajini too has apparently promised to attend the play provided his schedule allows him to.

A new section on Native America 4-H History has been added to the National 4-H History Preservation website. It is located in the National 4-H History section at: http://4-HHistoryPresevation.com The section includes a number of feature stories out of National 4-H News. The story with the above title was in the June 1943 issue… during World War II, over 70 years ago.
"One fourth of the 52,000 youth enrolled Oklahoma 4-H clubs in 1943, according to State Leader Paul G. Adams, are Indian youth. Some of the finest state winners Oklahoma has sent to the National 4-H Congress have been of Indian descent, he adds. "Win the war now, smoke the peace pipe later," is the slogan of 4-H Indians in the Sooner State.
"According to county agent L. I. Bennett, they're the hardest fighting group of warriors in the country. All members of the Indian Riverside 4-H Club — the largest all-Indian 4-H Club in the state — with their 4-H club projects, they're helping Uncle Sam furnish food to the boys on the firing lines. They have a keen interest in seeing that food gets to the front because 18 Club members of their fellow tribesmen have joined the Army, Navy or Marines since Pearl Harbor. "You'll never find a more patriotic group of young people than these 4-H club Indians," contends Bennett. As the older boys join the armed forces their projects have been taken over by younger members of the club and carried to completion. The girls can foods produced in the club's Victory gardens.
"In addition to growing food, members of the Riverside Club are just as active in other 4-H project areas. At the State Round-Up Andew Pahmahmie placed in the blue ribbon class in the State 4-H Style Dress Revue contest. Bernice Paddlety and Alva Mae Tapedo won a gold medal with their dairy demonstration at the State contest, Ruth Sardongei and Alva Walker won trips to the American Royal at Kansas City for placing first with their paint demonstration, and Luke Tainpeah and Tom Kauley were blue ribbon winners in the poultry demonstration contest. At the Caddo County Fair 53 of the clubs girls made exhibits, winning a total of 82 ribbons.

Kerala Malayalam Movies actor Suresh Gopi has accepted the invitation from Modi's Office for the ceremony and has plaaned to go for the event.
Confirming the reception of a personal invite from Modi's office , the actor said that he was excited to attend the event and hoped that he would get a place among other film stars and corporate heads. "It is a matter of great pleasure that Modi has extended his personal invite to me and I regard this as the greatest award I can get," said the actor, who won the national film award for best actor in 1998.
To another query, he said that the BJP's landslide victory pointed to the country's desire to have a strong leader at the helm of affairs. "He's the greatest leader the country has seen in the past many decades and the mandate he received from the people is the evidence of his leadership quality," the actor added.

Crossovers are among the hottest-selling vehicles on the market, and virtually every automaker has a few smaller family haulers. Chevy and Ford find themselves locked in a fierce battle between the more compact and fuel-efficient Chevy Equinox and the roomier Ford Edge. Which is the crossover for your family? Continue reading to find out.
Interior Comfort
Inside, the Chevy Equinox is surprisingly roomy for such a small footprint, offering 40.0 inches of headroom and 40.9 inches of legroom up front, and 38.5 inches of headroom and 39.9 inches of legroom in the rear. It also checks in with 29.9 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats upright and 63.9 cubes with the rear seats lowered.
The Ford Edge trumps the Equinox in roominess with 40.2 inches of headroom and 42.6 inches of legroom up front, and 40.3 of headroom and 40.6 inches of legroom in the rear. While this isn't a huge advantage, these small differences matter with taller occupants.
New Edge SUV lineup is Ford's smartest ever, offering more standard driver-assist technology than any other midsize SUV and introducing to the segment new available technologies such as Post-Collision Braking, Evasive Steering Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering.
The Edge wins in cargo area too, but the gap is far more significant at 39.2 cubic feet with the rear seats up and 73.4 cubes with the rear seats folded. Keep in mind, though, the Edge is also nearly 6 inches longer than the Equinox, which could make the Ford harder to handle in tight spaces.
The Edge ST adds a bonus in interior comfort, as its bolstered front seats offer more lateral support in the corners. Though this likely won't apply to most shoppers, it is something to consider if you like tackling corners with a little speed.
If the sheer number of engine options is an advantage, then the Equinox has bragging rights with three four-cylinder options. The standard powerplant is a 1.5-liter turbocharged unit that pumps out a modest 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. This engine pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission and turns in a subpar 9.2-second 0-to-60 time.
The Equinox's midrange 2.0-liter engine pipes in 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. This power routes through a more advanced nine-speed automatic transmission and zips the Equinox to 60 mph in a more spirited 7.2 seconds.
Topping the Equinox lineup is a 1.6-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder that produces 137 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque and pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission. This combination produces a sluggish 9.4 seconds, but its low-end torque makes it feel quicker than its numbers imply.
Most of the Ford Edge lineup uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. This engine mates with an eight-speed automatic transmission and delivers an estimated 8-second 0-to-60 sprint time.
The only optional engine in the Ford Edge lineup is the twin-turbo 2.7-liter V-6 under the hood of the performance-oriented Edge ST. This potent V-6 pumps 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive for a lively 5.7-second sprint to 60 mph.
While its acceleration is superior, the ST shines the brightest in the corners, as its upgraded suspension, brake-based torque vectoring, and larger brakes help it weave its way through a windy road. In testing, The Ford Edge ST held a respectable-for-a-crossover 0.89 Gs on the skidpad.
The Chevy Equinox's 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder and 1.6-liter turbo-diesel engines give it a big advantage in peak fuel economy. The base 1.5-liter delivers up to 26 mpg city, 32 highway, and 28 combined. The diesel engine cranks up the efficiency to 28 mpg city, 39 highway, and 32 combined.
Moving into the peppier 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder sucks up a little more fuel, as it gets up to 22 mpg city, 29 highway, and 25 combined.
The Ford Edge can't hang with the Equinox with its peak fuel economy checking in at 22 mpg city, 29 highway, and 25 combined with its 2.0-liter turbo engine. Despite lacking in peak fuel economy, this engine matches the 2.0-liter equipped Equinox's mileage, giving you a larger body and roomier interior with no fuel economy tradeoff.
The Edge ST is no fuel miser, as expected. It tops out at 19 mpg city, 26 highway, and 21 combined.
The Chevy Equinox's base L trim is tough to find, as dealers generally stock the LS trim, but it is relatively well-equipped for its $24,995 base price. Its standard features include an acoustic windshield, heated mirrors, 17-inch aluminum wheels, 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth audio streaming, power windows and door locks, 4G LTE Wi-Fi, and tons more.
The Ford Edge SE starts from $29,995, and it is also decently equipped with standard 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, rotary gear shifter, power windows and door locks, auto-dimming rearview mirror, tons of advanced safety features, 4G LTE Wi-Fi, and more. The only area where the Edge falls short is its infotainment system, which comes standard with a 4.2-inch center screen and no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The $33,300 SEL adds a larger screen and advanced smartphone connectivity.
The Edge and Equinox aced all IIHS crash tests, but neither is a Top Safety Pick due to "Poor" and "Marginal" headlight tests, respectively. Both models also receive "Superior" ratings in forwarding collision avoidance, but there is one key difference: The 2019 Edge comes standard with automatic emergency braking, while the Equinox offers it as an option in only its highest trims.
In addition to standard automatic emergency braking, the Ford Edge also boasts standard blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and automatic high-beam headlights.
Buyers on a tight budget who are willing to sacrifice size and standard safety equipment for a much lower price and better efficiency, the Chevy Equinox is for you. If you are planning on getting the diesel-equipped Equinox, you may find it hard to locate one due to limited demand and inventory. In fact, demand is so low, Chevy will discontinue the Equinox's diesel engine before the 2020 models hit showrooms.
Shoppers with taller kids or who frequently haul adults in the rear seats will find the roomier Edge the better bet. Plus, its standard safety equipment almost makes the price difference between it and the Equinox worth it. Sadly, that standard infotainment system will be a sore spot for tech-savvy younger buyers.
Performance shoppers who want a little fun with their family-hauling crossover have no choice but to look to the Ford Edge ST to scratch that itch. The Equinox with the 2.0-liter engine is decent in a straight line, but the ST blows it away and delivers in the curves.

Readers with a solid background in measure theory can skip Sections 1. For each event A⊂Ω, one assigns the probability, which is denoted by P(A) and which is a real number in [0,1]. This is called the counting measure. Pascal and P. Probability Theory: Background and Bayes Theorem Psychology (Statistics) 484 The driving condition for the complete edi ce of all probability theory is one single postulate: for two mutually exclusive events, A and B (where mutually exclusivity implies that both events cannot occur at the same time), P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B). Statistics is closely related to probability theory, but the two elds have entirely di erent goals. The classical definition of probability (classical probability concept) states: If there are m outcomes in a sample space (universal set), and all are equally likely of being the result of an experimental measurement, then the probability of observing an event (a subset) that contains s outcomes is given by.

The text is concerned with probability theory and all of its mathematics, but now viewed in a wider context than that of the standard textbooks. 1) P{a X·~ b} "" f fez) tIx.

David Bote setting unrealistic expectations for fellow 18th-round draft picks
hecklerbrad
David Bote has been impressing observers since shortly after his Major League debut this spring. Now that the 25-year-old rookie has launched himself into legendary status following Sunday night's two-out, pinch-hit walk-off grand slam against the Nationals, the rest sports world has taken notice and many inside baseball are elevating their expectations for 18th-round draft picks as a result.
"Sure, we don't always nail it with our draft picks," said Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein, "but after seeing what David's done after we picked him 554th in 2012, there's no reason all guys coming out of the 18th round can't make an immediate impact on a big league level after wallowing around the minors for seven years."
Actual statistics might not back up Epstein's claim. A quick review of the 2012 18th round on Baseball-Reference.com reveals that only three of the 30 players taken have seen Major League action. Most appear to no longer be playing organized baseball.
"I guess it's great to see David finally make it in the bigs, but as the first guy picked in the 18th round that year, I really figured I had the best odds of catching on with a Major League team. " said catcher Ricky Gingras who called quits this year after three seasons in the independent Pacific Assocation. "It's one thing to say I didn't make it because no one really expects much from 18th-rounders, but to know some other guy picked after me is having an impact on the best team in the National League, while, that sort of stings."
Gingras continued: "Good for him though. I guess."

Former supreme court judge attacks government's planning reforms
By Laurence06/11/2020No Comments
Lord Carnwath has joined critics of the proposed planning reforms. The former supreme court judge said the government has failed to justify the need for fundamental reform of the system.
Carnwath (pictured) was a supreme court judge between 2012 and 2020, responsible for almost all of the court's judgments on planning cases. He has advised the government on planning reform since the 1970s.
He said in a response to the consultation, which closed last week, that the white paper "does not begin to make a case" for radical reform of the planning system.
Carnwath's intervention follows a host of critical responses to the white paper, Planning for the Future. Many have questioned the government's plan to get local authorities to allocate all land in to one of three classifications – growth, renewal or protection – and for councils to draw up new-style local plans within three months.
Carnwath said that, while there was "much to be admired in the white paper", past attempts at planning reform had rarely improved the system, which he said was, overall "robust, but over-cluttered, and under-resourced".
He urged the government not to "repeat the mistakes of the past" by embarking on another round of radical reform.
Quoting the introduction to the white paper by prime minister Boris Johnson, Carnwath said: "There is no justification for […] 'levelling the foundations and building, from the ground up, a whole new planning system for England'. Radical reform is rarely a sensible solution, not least because of the disruption it causes. The white paper does not begin to make a case for it in the present context.
"The aim should be to build on the strengths of the existing system, reduce the clutter, and ensure adequate resources, in terms of finance and personnel; and above all to provide a period of policy stability to allow the reformed system to be settle down."
The formal response follows comments made by Carnwath to online planning discussion group Have I Got Planning News For You, in which he revealed his irritation at Johnson's commitment to "levelling the foundations" of the planning system.
He said: "I was rather cross with the forward by the prime minister which was way over the top. Whatever else you think about it, there just simply isn't a case for, as he put it, levelling the foundations and building a wholly new planning system from the ground up.
"That's never been a sensible way to approach law reform, I can't think a single area where that has been thought a sensible thing to do."
Carnwath's intervention has been hailed by planning experts as significant given his seniority and depth of experience. Zack Simons, barrister at Landmark Chambers, said Carnwath was "probably responsible for shaping our planning law more than anyone else alive". He added: "If you only read one response [to the white paper], there it is."
>> Maria Smith: Imagine a future where we don't have to choose between economy and ecology
>> Peter Studdert: The government's promise of local beauty for local people is a fig leaf
His intervention comes after 10 London local authorities last week described the government's proposals – set out here – as a "risk to democracy" which was directly at odds with the government's commitment to localism.
The Royal Town Planning Institute said the government's plans could be made to work but, as set out, were "too simplistic and, without significant investment, will not address society's most pressing issues" including climate change.
Others including architects, planners and former civil service head Bob Kerslake have also raised concerns, with RIBA president Alan Jones saying they had the potential to lead to the next generation of slum housing.
The government has already signalled that it is likely to reconsider proposals for a reformed housing algorithm to set local housing targets published alongside the white paper, following a furious backlash from MPs. It has also acceded to pressure to water down its expansion of permitted development rights, by ensuring that new homes created under the rights meet minimum space standards.
However, housing secretary Robert Jenrick told the BBC last week that the government was not going to be swayed on its objective to deliver more homes. He added: "We should be a government that is setting out to build more homes because we've got to help the next generation onto the housing ladder and the most vulnerable people in society to get homes."
