As reported by CNN and Diana Nyad's blog – the famed 62-year-old swimmer will attempt to swim 103 miles between Cuba and Florida on Sunday. I was honored to be an official observer last September when Diana made her second attempt of the 2011 summer only to thwarted by multiple debilitating jelly fish sting after 30 hours of swimming. During that swim Diana displayed a strength and determination that is laudable for an athlete of any age – but when you consider the fact that she was 61 years of age her accomplishment was phenomenal. Although each stroke she took during those 30 hours of swimming was remarkable, her quick recovery and astute insight on the boat ride back to Key West is what was truly impressive. Diana Nyad is a very strong woman who continues to inspire with her efforts. Over the last year she resumed an impressive training regimen and worked with swim suit manufacture FINIS to develop a suit that is can project against the jelly fish yet still have her swim fall into the "unassisted" category (a somewhat contentious point amongst some marathon swimming enthusiasts). She has assembled a top notched crew of experts to support this endeavor with the hope that 2012 is the year she realizes what is called the "XtremeDream". The 103 mile swim is expect to take at least 60 hours of continuous swimming. It will be exciting to follow her progress. Her team will be likely reporting on Twitter (@diananyad) and on her blog.
Corrected 8/20 – the term "channel swimming federation" was correctly pointed out as being too ambiguous and that the suit would not adhere to certain federation guidelines such as the English Channel Swimming Federation.

@Mike Lewis Lewis:
You wrote that Diana will be wearing "a suit that is in line with channel swimming guidelines that can project against the jelly fish."
What *specific* "channel swimming guidelines" are you referring to? The suit wouldn't be allowed in the English Channel. It wouldn't be allowed in the Catalina Channel. It wouldn't be allowed in the Cook Strait. It wouldn't be allowed in Hawaii. So what guidelines are you talking about, specifically?
Reply to Shinji
Thank you "Shinji" – please note the edit and the notations added. Keep on swimming!
Anarchy in the pool
Did the jellyfish demand her respect?
I can see trying to swim the English Channel or something similar, but 103 miles does not make sense unless you are built like a fish and can swim 25 mph.
I'll be very surprised if she makes it. Good luck Diana, you're going to need a ton of it.
According to reports on Diana's blog (diananyad.com) she has left early and is now underway.
"whoknows"- must be angry at something in their life- why would anyone feel compelled to make a negative comment about her attempting her dream goal again? Who cares how many times she attempts it? It is her personal goal and she sticks with it- that determination is what I admire in anyone. I have no respect for anyone that can only mock or make negative comments, I just pity them. Go Diana- keep chasing your dreams!
WHOKNOWS
This is defnitely her last attempt – she has said that at least three times in about the last year! Anything to maintain the attention she wants so badly. Never forget Nyad!

She doesn't seem all that driven by attention to me. She's been pretty low-key over the decades, especially about her personal life. She's been relatively quiet about being gay, which could have brought her all the attention she wanted, as well as some of the other work and things she's done. She just seems like one of those completely obsessed champions to me. I hope she makes it; it's always great to see champions pushing the limits.

Liquidassets, I completely agree. If somebody is aiming for attention, there are probably more effective ways to garner it than doing an open water swim. I have nothing but respect for this fine lady. Her drive is admirable, and I wish her the best of luck….
"Whoknows"….. Bitter much? Unless you know Ms. Nyad personally, then this is the only other reason you might make such a statement.
She does not know when to quit. I'm impressed by her insanity.

Mana Ngurang
Share via Facebook Twitter Google+
Mana Ngurang by Charles 'Chicka' Madden, Nicole Monks and UFO
Artist: Charles 'Chicka' Madden, Nicole Monks and UFO
Redfern Community Centre, 29–53 Hugo Street Redfern
The rock art I chose to be display here, on the Elders lounge Mural is from the Sydney basin. The animals are found inland but were also along the coast in the early days. The fish are from around saltwater country and the Goanna should be there somewhere as this is the totem for the Gadigal people.
– Charles 'Chicka' Madden, Gadigal elder and artist
Mana Ngurang is a 7m-long eco-friendly plywood "mural" mounted on a curved black painted wall, in the Elders Lounge on the first floor of the Redfern Community Centre.
Commissioned by the Redfern Community Centre, the project was developed by Aboriginal artist and designer Nicole Monks in collaboration with Gadigal elder and artist Charles 'Chicka' Madden and architect Dirk Anderson from Urban Future Organisation.
The mural is made up of approximately one hundred sections of plywood, fixed vertically to the wall by their edges. Carved to slightly different shapes and depths, the plywood pieces create a vibrant three-dimensional effect.
The artwork, based on Madden's design and community consultation, represents the traditional lands of the Gadigal people within which Redfern is located. Inspired by the style of Aboriginal rock art found within the Sydney basin the work depicts human figures and animals that once inhabited the local area.
As well as respecting the traditional owners of the land, this artwork is intended to create harmony between cultures.
The fabrication and installation of the artwork was made possible with the support of project partners: Murobond, Global Ventures Australia and Keystone Acoustics.
Uncle Charles 'Chicka' Madden is a respected Sydney Elder of the Gadigal people. He has lived within the inner-city area of Sydney for most of his life, serving the Aboriginal community as Director of the Aboriginal Medical Service, Secretary of the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council, Director of the Aboriginal Hostels NSW and is a life member of the Redfern All Blacks.
As well as an active community leader, Uncle Chicka is an important artist who has created a number of ceramic sculptures and paintings inspired by his Gadigal country.
Nicole Monks is a trans-disciplinary artist of Yamatji Wajarri, Dutch and English heritage. In addition to her solo practice, Nicole is well known for her success as a collaborative artist and as founder of blackandwhite creative.
Dirk Anderson is an architect and director of the Sydney branch of Urban Future Organization (UFO), a collective of self-organised architectural practices who share common design strategies. His work has been exhibited at galleries internationally including the Venice Biennale of Architecture.
Plaque inscription
An information plaque is mounted to the wall beside the mural, so that visitors of all age groups and communities can understand and learn from the artwork. It states:
"Gadigal land extends from Burrawara (South Head) across to Warrane (Sydney Cove), Gomora (Darling Harbour) conceivably to Blackwattle Creek, down to the Cook's River and taking in the dunes and wetlands now known as Redfern.
The Gadigal people carved images into the sandstone of this land for thousands of years.
It is presumed that an outline was first sketched onto the rock, then a series of drill holes were made along the outline using a shell or stone and finally joined together by rubbing along the line with a pointed stone.
This mural is to acknowledge and honour the traditional owners of this land, on which the Redfern Community Centre respectfully stands.
Always was, always will be, Gadigal Land"

Q: PHP Variable not outputting in full I'm working in PHP and I have a simple shopping cart which adds items when you click the add button.
Everything is collected in a variable called $cartOutput
When I echo it, it gives me everything in the cart as expected. Same with var_dump . Everything is there
However, when I try to put it in an email and send it off. It cuts off the first item. Can anyone think of why this might be?
Nothing filters it before it is put into the email. It is simply what is in the variable
here is an example...
// e.g of the php variable being assembled for each item
    $cartOutput .= "
";
    $cartOutput .= "" . $product_name . "	";
    $cartOutput .= "$" . $price . "	";

// emailing the variables off here
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
    {

    $company = $_POST['company'];
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $address = $_POST['address'];
    $address2 = $_POST['address2'];
    $commercialAdd = $_POST['commercial'];
    $residentialAdd = $_POST['residential'];
    $city = $_POST['city'];
    $province = $_POST['province'];
    $postal_code = $_POST['postal_code'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $special_instructions = $_POST['special_instructions'];

    $date = date("Y/m/d");
    $time = date("h:i:sa");
    $to = "xxx@gmail.com";
    $header = "Cc:xxx@somedomain.com \r\n";
    $subject = "Email Order - $company ($date - $time)";
    $message = <<<EOD

Email Order - $date - $time

        $address2

City: $city

Province: $province

                Qty
                Subtotal

                $cartOutput

                    Total

                    $weightTotal kg

    $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
    $retval = mail ($to,$subject,$message,$header);

if( $retval == true ) {
    header("location: complete.php");
    exit();
}
else {
    echo "Order could not be sent. Please try again or contact our office for assistance";
}

}

A: Probably you are running into an email format issue. mail() requires the body to end each line in \r\n AND be less than 70 characters each. You will need to encode you HTML or include it as an attachment. See this set of instructions for an example.

A Serendipitous Encounter
Homraj Acharya is an anthropology student in Dr. Adrienne Pine's Craft of Anthropology I course (ANTH-601). This blog post was written in fulfillment of a course assignment. Images are published with permission from Mike Rechlin.
What would be the expression to describe a situation when the characters of your childhood stories spring to life and you get to actually meet them? I grew up hearing stories of "Mr. Mike" and "Mr. Dog," who came from America.
Our elders said that if we dug a hole deep enough we would get to America. We tried, but the problem was, if you dug deep into the earth, the first thing that appeared would be water, and we thought we would drown in the well. So we gave up this idea of finding Americans in the underworld.
But some of them had lived in our village and planted trees, wore boots and brimmed hats, spoke English that sounded like popcorn, used their rare and valuable cameras (that no one in the village owned) to take photographs of mundane things like cows and water buffaloes, and loved the same food as those buffaloes. One of them had wiped his bottom with nettle leaves and then said that Nepal is so rich we have electric currents in our plants.
I grew up listening to the stories about Mr. Mike and Mr. Dog—two Americans who had lived in our village in the 1960s, just before I was born. They were both described to us kids as tall and thin with brown hat and boots. A riddle that I grew up hearing poked gentle fun at their appearance: "It is from America, is like a stick, and wears a hat. What is it?" (In Nepali, अमेरिकाने देशको, टोपी लाउँछ छेस्को, के हो") The answer was a matchstick. We were solving that riddle in the 1970s and 1980s.
On September 18, 2019 I came across one of the real-life characters of the riddle in "Memories and Meaning: A 50th Anniversary Report," catalogued in the American University Archives.
As part of Anthropology graduate classwork, our professor, Dr. Adrienne Pine, had scheduled a tour of the archives. I asked the archivist if they had anything on Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) working in Nepal.
I was curious to see how Peace Corps volunteers write privately about their experiences. I wasn't expecting to find my own village in the archives. But in the list of sites I found the name of my village in connection to PCV Mike Rechlin.
Mr. Mike turned out to be Mike Rechlin, who was in our village as part of "Group 17" Peace Corps volunteers in 1969. Mike had spelled out the name of my village alongside the District. Certain it was the same Mike, I asked Leslie Nellis, Associate Archivist for Digital Initiatives and Record Management at the American University Library, to help me get connected with Mike and the other PCV if they were alive and around. I had assumed they would be in their 80s, as is my father, who worked along with them.
Mr. Mike and Mr. Dog figured in my childhood stories as the Gora Sahibs (White Sahibs). This a colonial-era term used to describe white British colonial masters in India, but it continued to apply to white people after the formal end of colonization.
One of the stories was about my father, one of the Gora Sahibs, and pumpkin daal (Kabaliko Daal). Daal is our daily food, a legume sauce served over rice. It can be made from chickpeas, lentils, split peas, or other legumes. Supposedly my father cooked for them one day and he had no legumes around so he used pumpkin, which he also used when he cooked for our buffaloes, who ate large amounts of vegetables and preferred their pumpkin cooked.
For the Gora Sahib, he apparently put sugar in the daal, which is not how daal is actually made. But he liked to put sugar in everything. Later, when my dad had to cook during when my mother had her menstrual cycle (when women cannot cook or do housework), he made us "the American Daal." We did not like it. It was not fully cooked, and it had sugar in it. Who would want to have sugary daal? So, we don't know which one of these two guys were responsible for changing our household recipes, but for four days a month we were forced to endure the sugary daal recipe.
Leslie connected me to Mike within a few days. I talked to him and it turned out he lives in West Virginia, only about three hours from Washington, DC, near a place where I have gone camping. We met and he shared some of the amazing photos, included below, from the late 60s
A few weeks later, I talked to my dad on a cell phone, which in itself is amazing. When I was growing up, I never even saw a telephone until I was 15, and at first, I spoke into the wrong end. But now we can call from America to fields in Nepal. I told my father that I met Mr. Mike and had dinner with him. He was thrilled to hear it. He extended his regards and namaste to Mike. There are very few people in the village who are still alive who would remember Mike and the other PCV in person.
Here are a few pictures of my village I received from Mike:
I recognize that this is my neighbor Maila Kumal on the left (still alive but old) and his father (now dead). This was pretty much how we dressed in the summer and how I grew up. They are of the pottery making Kumal caste. They still make this pottery. Here they are clearly posing for the camera with their freshly made water pots. We stored our drinking water in these pots. As it is very hot in the Terai region of Nepal in the summer, we would dig a pit in the ground of our kitchen to keep the pots cool. We lived in a thatched house like everyone else and our kitchen was an outbuilding with a thatched roof and mud walls, so the floor was also of dirt. Sometimes these clay pots are used for storing grains.
This brings back my own memories of plowing our land and leveling the field. In the picture above the land, according to Mike, is being leveled to prepare for planting trees like teaks and eucalyptus—part of the Australian forestry project that Mike was connected to. Leveling is fun for a kid because you get to ride on the leveler, which is that flat piece of wood behind the oxen. Sometimes a kid can sit between the legs of the plowing man just to have fun. We did that all the time. The boundary of work and play seldom exists. Work for adults can be part of the play for the kids. In fact, it helps the adults to have a little heavier pressure on the leveler and sometimes they would even call for kids to come and ride. This guy, who is now old, lives a couple hundred meters from our house. The place is called Sano Deuri.
I recognize that this is Nandu Tharu, and he seems to be bringing a grain storage container (deheri) that his wife made to one of the neighbor's houses. This is how we transported things. This lariya (ox cart) was a multi-purpose vehicle for transporting sand from the rivers, harvested rice from the field, taking oilseeds to the oilseed press, bringing hay and logs from the jungle, and bringing brides after the wedding. Lariya are not as ubiquitous now because mostly they are replaced by tractors, but they are still around. These clay deheri in the cart are built in several segments of clay, rice husk, straw and cow dung so that different pieces can be assembled inside the home after they are complete.
This is a common community well for drinking water. The well is still there and the house in the background belongs to a family that weaves excellent baskets. I have some of their baskets in my house in Silver Spring. These women are using the same type of water pot from our earlier photo of the potters. In the background can be seen deheri (large storage pots) like the one being brought on the lariya, but they are decommissioned or they wouldn't be outside. It seems they are being used just for firewood storage.
There is an inscription on the side of the well that has the sign of Om and then says 2022 Sukhadram. So the well was renovated 54 years ago (in 2022 BS / 1965 CE) and the renovation must have been sponsored by Sukhadram. It is interesting that somebody made the om sign left side right. It should be facing the other way. These women are Tharu, from the community indigenous to the area, and are wearing beautiful traditional dresses, which are now uncommon as the women in the village mostly wear Bollywood style saris and blouses today. Their armlets are made of pure silver and also have mostly gone out of usage.
These Tharu women are fishing in the local ponds with their hiluka (small nets with rounded frames) and ghanghi (large nets with more triangular shapes), and deli (or perungo) on the west to catch minnows. This is a community fishing event. People are not allowed to fish in these community ponds as and when they please; there is a particular day as decided by village Badhghar (a village chief, elder) that the members of the community (usually women from village) can go and fish, so that everyone has an equal opportunity to catch fish. Sometimes they will catch fish and then collect and divide.
This is a major lake of our village. It is known as Buddhi Lake. Tharu women are fishing with hiluka nets. The official area of the two lakes combined now is 47 acres. When Mike was in Buddhi, these lakes were divided into two lakes, one for the community and one for generating revenue for the village council. In recent years, both lakes have been combined and redesigned and contracted out for 5 to 10 years to the highest bidder. Last cycle the winning bid was for 4.2 million Rupees—equivalent to $40,000 USD.
These women are husking rice in a dhiki, a large wooden beam that is pumped by foot and drops onto the rice, separating the husk and kernel of the rice. That was one of the tasks I had to do regularly as a child. I would come home from school and have to husk the rice with the dhiki and feed the husks mixed with pumpkin to the buffaloes and cows. We used to be in a hurry to do something else, like go out and play, so the idea was to finish as quickly as possible and pump it really fast. But that actually breaks the rice into smaller pieces and you get yelled at.
I grew up in a similar house until about 7 years of age. Every year in the winter I had to go to the jungle to cut fresh thatch for the house and also for the kitchen and barn. Then we built a house made of mud bricks that we made by hand, though even today a portion of the cowshed is thatch. Many of these houses have changed, with walling material mostly of bricks and roofs replaced by corrugated tin sheets or RCC (rod, concrete and cement) for those who can afford it.
This is the map of the village showing how much was forested at the time. I had actually never seen a map of my village before seeing this one. The river on the far left is where I learned to swim. It is now often low or even fully dried so that you can cross the river without taking your shoes off. This is the result of a combination of climate change, deforestation and silting from erosion upstream.
On the bottom right is a jamun (black plum) grove where we used to go in July and August to pick them in the forest. Sadly, there has been much deforestation and the area identified with jamun isn't there anymore as a forest. The sal trees were also essentially all felled during the political transition of the 1990s. Some of the teak and eucalyptus trees (Mike's project) are still there but most have been cut down. The Kusum trees which are identified in the map have also been cut down, and the mango and Seemal trees are almost all gone now. I am curious why it says "unpromising Sal trees," as I recall many Sal trees in this area highly valued as hardwood. There is a saying in the village that a Sal tree lasts for 3,000 years – standing for 1,000 years, on the ground for 1,000 years, and another 1,000 to completely decay.
AU's Peace Corps Archive contains historical treasures that have serendipitously re-connected me in entirely new ways to my childhood stories, creating the potential for new, richer interpretations of my own village's history. These new interpretations will help us better understand the processes that have led us to where we are today, and will also provide insights into the broader, long-term impacts of the Peace Corps in societies like my own.

What We Collected in 2017
The Peace Corp Community Archive accepts many types of records of volunteers from every decade, every country of service, and every type of service job. Though we did not accept donations for part of 2017, we added 6 unique collections to the archives that include a wide range of Peace Corps experiences. We featured some of these collections in previous posts but here you can learn about them in detail.
Phillip L. Scholl
Phillip served in India from 1965-1967 in Health Education. India faced many health crises in the 1960s and its government requested help from the Peace Corps. Philip's group, India 20A, received training in public health and assisted India's Primary Health Centers, which provided health care services throughout the country. Phillip donated a video about his travels through India.

Jan and Leslie Czechowski
Jan and Leslie decided to volunteer after they retired at the age of 64 and are two of the oldest volunteers in the collection. They donated a booklet that contains, in chronological order, their blog posts and emails from their service. The couple served in Moldova in 2012 in Community Development. Leslie's main job was helping with the Global Libraries project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They enjoyed their time in Moldova immensely but had to cut their service short because Leslie became ill. A number of Peace Corps Volunteers end their service early for a variety of reasons.
Jan and Leslie – June 22, 2012
Friday, August 3rd, 2012 – Sworn in as Peace Corps Volunteers
Delwyn and Claire Ziegler
Delwyn and Claire, with their two daughters, were among the first Peace Corps Volunteer Families. They served in Colombia from 1970-1972 in Community Development and Education. They donated a manual entitled, "Guide to Small Business Consultation," which was compiled by Delwyn, and a 500+ page diary consisting of correspondence, notes, daily updates, and other writings from their service. The Ziegler's were one of only two families that stayed the full two years and said "it was the best two years of our lives." The Peace Corps discontinued the families program after a few years.
You can find their diary here: Diary of the Zieglers in Colombia
Lynda Smith-Nehr
Lynda served in the Philippines from 1962-1964 in Education. Her collection consists of the many slides she took during her service. The slides show pictures of the villages she worked in, the people she worked with, and the places she traveled. Lynda experienced a lot during her service.
April 1963 – My Junior Class – Mt. Apo
Davao Mt. Apo School – April 1963
Thomas J. Hassett
Thomas served in Nepal from 1965-1966 in Community Development. His fellow volunteers described him as easy to get along with and perfect for the Peace Corps. However, Thomas's time in the Peace Corps was cut short by an unfortunate fall on his way to visit a friend. At the age of 22 Thomas passed away and was buried in Nepal. Included in his collection are letters to and from his family and friends, condolence letters to his parents, and photos of his work and burial service. Tom's parents paid for a memorial for him and visited his grave in 1966.

Tina Singleton
Tina served in the Central African Republic and Benin from 1992-1996. She worked in Health Education with a focus on Benin's disabled community. She traveled to the first African Special Olympics in 1992. Tina enjoyed her time so much she stayed twice as long as a normal service tour. Tina's collection itself consists of numerous letters to her family and many (many) photos that illustrate her time in Africa.
Tina's school class, she is second from the left.

"The PC Nepal Photo Project 1962-1975"
Many Returned Peace Corp Volunteers recognize the value in preserving their experiences. Currently, the Peace Corps Community Archive has over 50 donors, but other volunteers, like Doug and Kate Hall, have created their own related collections.
Doug and Kate served in the Peace Corps from 1968 – 1969 and were stationed in Kathmandu, Nepal. They met during their Peace Corps training and were married in 1972, after their Peace Corps service. In the last few years, they have pushed for a collective effort from Nepal's volunteers to digitize and catalog photographs taken between the years 1962 – 1975. Titled the PC Nepal Photo Project 1962-1975, the collection currently has over 90 contributors and 12,500 photographs.
According to Doug, the project does not emphasize the Peace Corps experience, but rather focuses on life in Nepal from 1962 – 1975. Specially, the images highlight Nepali life outside the Kathmandu Valley.
While libraries and archives in Kathmandu have photos from the 1930s, these are almost exclusively from the Kathmandu Valley. Peace Corps volunteers were mostly posted in towns and villages where no Nepali had a camera. Thus, these early photos are among the first ever taken in many regions of the country.
The photograph's being collected represent a range of Nepali life. They span regions and lifestyles, from agriculture and rural schools to coronations and urban architecture.
In addition to the online collection which uses Adobe Lightroom, Hall has created a Facebook page that highlights the images by theme. Both are fantastic resources for researchers. Hall reports that once the project is complete he will share copies with 3 national libraries and archives in Nepal.

USJ-R breaks ground for its new campus along Colon Street
December 8, 2021 Lorraine Mitzi Ambrad
A new campus of the University of San Jose-Recoletos will soon rise along Colon Street, Cebu City.
It will be called the USJ-R Quadricentennial Campus. Within the said property, a 17-storey building will be constructed and be called Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Building. Hence, the groundbreaking took place earlier today, December 8, which is the feast day of Immaculate Conception.
It will be the tallest among all USJ-R buildings. At present, the tallest one is the La Salud Building in Basak Campus which has seven storeys. The USJ-R administration eyes the project to be completed in next three years.
Currently, there are two campuses bearing the USJ-R brand in Cebu City namely USJ-R Main Campus along Magallanes Street and USJ-R Basak Campus along N. Bacalso National Highway. In addition, a satellite campus in Balamban also carries the Josenian brand of education.
University President Cristopher Maspara, OAR said that this new campus will be the gift of the Augustinian Recollects to the future learners who will study in USJ-R. He added that it will not only address the scarcity of classrooms but also level-up the service which the institution provides to its students.
During the ceremony, Property Administrator Rev. Fr. Arian Josef Ocheda, OAR shared that the building will have a total floor area over 30,000 square meters. It will house commercial spaces, parking spaces, libraries, laboratories, multipurpose halls, chapel, cafeteria, museum, business hub, sports facilities, and employees' wellness center.
In addition, the Immaculate Conception Building has "green building features" such as its own sewage treatment plant and water recycling facility.

Eternal Helcaraxe came to be in May 2003. Between then and February 2004 began writing for a black metal project based on raw emotion and atmosphere. After several line-up changes both founding members decided to continue as a two piece and in March 2008 released the first MCD entitled "Palest Kingdom".
Shortly after this release in April of 2008 we were joined by Kozel (ex-Mincing Fury)(cz) on bass, and the lineup was completed in July 2008 when we were re-joined by our first drummer Tyrith who both added a new level of atmosphere and intensity to our sound. Eternal Helcaraxe have performed a full live assault with such bands as Impiety, Shining, Spearhead, 1349, Anaal Nathrakh and Keep of Kalessin.
Kozel regrettably parted ways with EH and in August 2009 we were joined by Thule, which set in stone the new path. Since then have released a second MCD entitled "To Whatever End" and In March 2012 released our first full length album titled "Against All Odds" which has been released through "Abyss Records" (US). Unfortunately due to personal reasons Thule decided to leave EH in January 2013.
In 2014 Eternal Helcaraxe released an official video for a brand new track titled "Flames In The Darkness". This track is exclusive through "Elemental Nightmares", a vinyl project which is available now.
A Re-release of the 2010 EP "To Whatever End", which features a re-master of the original recording and 4 brand new bonus tracks has been released through "Unlight Productions" and distributed through "Drakkar Productions" (FR). The original EP has also been released on cassette tape through "Sword Productions" (Portugal) and "Blood and Soil Productions" (Spain).
At the end of 2017 the band released their second full length album titled "In Times Of Desperation" though German label Naturmacht Productions (www.naturmacht.com).
Praetorian also plays in Éadóchas.
Tyrith plays and endorses "Czarcie Kopyto" Pedals, "ACS" custom in-ear monitors and "Serial Drummer" clothing.


The Kentucky Equine Networking Association (KENA) was formed in 2010 in a partnership between the Kentucky Horse Council and the University of Kentucky Equine Initiative. The mission of KENA is to provide an educational and social venue for equine professionals and other horse enthusiasts from all disciplines to share ideas and business strategies, and obtain current knowledge on horse and farm management with the principal objective of enhancing individual horse ownership and the horse industry at large.
KENA is targeted specifically to those who participate in breeding and reproductive services, instruction, training, boarding and showing. KENA also welcomes every member of the Kentucky horse community.
KENA hosts six networking dinner meetings per year where qualified guest speakers present on topics of current interest in the areas of horse health, nutrition, facilities management, labor, safety, welfare, sales, marketing and business management, among others.
KENA members gain insights into all aspects of equine health, facility management and business promotion. The exchange of ideas and dissemination of information through KENA involvement provides benefits for our horses and creates opportunities to improve business development and profitability.
The program's Facebook page can be found at https://www.facebook.com/KyEquineNetworking/.
While Kentucky was on the world stage for 16 days during the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, one display in the Equine Village asked visitors, "Where else for an equine education?" The answer was found in the display itself, the result of a unique collaboration among Kentucky universities and colleges with equine programs.
The consortium of schools banded together to let the world know there is no better place to pursue an equine education than in Kentucky. The state is known as the horse capital of the world, and in the opinion of the universities and colleges that collaborated on the shared display, Kentucky could make a case for also being the equine higher education capital of the world.
There has been national attention given to the unprecedented degree of collaboration between the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky over the last several years on post-secondary equine education conferences, foreign tours and specialized courses, as well as on a variety of broader projects, such as two successful Kentucky Youth Horse Festivals and also the World Equestrian Games.
Programs represented, in addition to UK and UofL, include Asbury University, Georgetown College, Kentucky Community and Technical College System, Midway College, Morehead State University, Murray State University and Western Kentucky University.
Following the Games, the Consortium has continued its efforts, showcasing its partnership at Rolex, the All American Quarter Horse Congress and the National Horse Show in 2011. Faculty from the various universities now work together on projects as they arise, and members hold an annual meeting each January.
The Mastere of Equine Science and Business is a one-year certificate program managed by AgroSup Dijon, the National Superior Institute of Agronomic Sciences, Food and the Environment, in Dijon, France, in collaboration with the University of Caen, Normandy France and the College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky.
The program was developed with the input of equine professionals in France to meet the need for high-level management personnel with expertise in equine areas. The program is designed for individuals with at least five years of post-secondary education and a strong interest in a professional career in the international equine industry. Students must be fluent in French and English and the admission process is very selective, with no more than 11 students being admitted in any one year.
Dr. Laurie Lawrence in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences works with the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment's Office of International Programs to coordinate the educational and logistical components of the program. Visiting scholars from UK to France have included Mary Rossano, PhD, in 2010, and Bob Coleman, PhD, in 2011.
The students begin the program in the fall and progress through educational units delivered by AgroSup Dijon and the University of Caen. Each spring the students enrolled in the MESB come to the University of Kentucky for four weeks to learn about the equine industry here.
The students receive lectures from faculty in Animal and Food Sciences, Agricultural Economics, Veterinary Sciences, Community and Leadership Development and Plant and Soil Sciences. However, the majority of their time in Kentucky is spent with equine industry professionals who provide first hand insight and knowledge in the four major topic areas. Approximately 50% of the program is delivered in the classroom; while the remainder is delivered during visits to farms, equine-related businesses and equine organizations.
UK HealthCare partnered with the UK colleges of Agriculture, Food and Environment and Public Health and several community partners to launch a campaign to raise awareness of horseback rider safety. The five-year educational campaign began in 2009 in advance of the World Equestrian Games.
In response to the number of riders admitted to UK's Emergency Department, the campaign aims to increase awareness and educate riders not only in Kentucky, but nationally and internationally, about riding and horse handling safety. Ultimately, the goal is to reduce the number and severity of rider injuries. The campaign's purpose is to help make a great sport safer.
While motorcycle riders experience a serious injury every 7,000 hours of riding, horseback riders experience one every 350 hours, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is estimated that one in five equestrians will be seriously injured during their riding careers. And novice riders, especially children and young adults, are eight times more likely to suffer a serious injury than professional equestrians. A 2007 American Journal of Surgery article showed that half of patients in the study believed their injuries were preventable and were the fault of the rider.

Q: How do I set a modern news page template's default Publish Date/Time to the Current Date/Time When creating a news item in a site collection page's library, we have several custom templates built by a 3rd party. As I understand it, there was a time (before I started working on this tenant) when creating a news article based on one of these custom templates prefilled the "Publish Date and Time" field with the current date and time. However, this has stopped working, and the default values are now static.
I've checked the list content type settings for the "Publish Date and Time" column and I see that it's set to default to "Today's Date." However, that is not reflected in the new page when it's created using a template. Presumably, this is because the news post duplicates the template file, and the template has a static value for "Publish Date Time." Is it possible for me to remove this static value or make some configuration change that will override the static value and replace it with today's date and time?
Right now, the template folder list view looks like this:

Any ideas are much appreciated.

A: Maybe you could try to use Calculated Value instead of Today's Date in column settings.
List settings > click column to edit > in Default value check Calculated Value and type "=Now()"

Or Column settings > edit

I wanted to spiff up our "Cards" sign which was made from cardboard cutout letters all glittered up.....Tara came up with this.
She backed the glitter letters with some tea stained stationary paper we had kicking around in the back room, black construction paper, and some ripped up cardboad. I think rubbing some black ink was involved in the process too.
It looked good and I was pretty happy but it also felt a little static.
We talked about maybe changing the spacing, centering it a little different or having it be more cattywompus.
Next time I looked over , she had just made the "R" off center and I thought it was just about perfect. So now we have a new "CARDS" sign and maybe we'll sell more cards too.
