The month of July will bring the heat to Israel, but so will the more than 10,000 athletes descending on the country for the competition of their lives. This month, July 18-30, Israel will hold the 19th Maccabiah Games at sites throughout the country. The world's largest Jewish athletic competition and the third largest of all athletic competitions worldwide, which greatly resembles the Olympics in pomp and circumstance and in format, is open to Jews worldwide and to all Israelis. It has taken place every four years since 1957 (it was held four times prior to 1957, beginning in 1932, but the Holocaust and World War II interrupted the regularity) and has grown each time in number of competitors and number of country delegations participating.
This year, San Diego will be represented, perhaps most prominently, in that most quintessential of California competitive sports: water polo. Doug Peabody, president of the San Diego Shores Water Polo Club, a nonprofit youth sports group based out of La Jolla, and a former Maccabiah water polo athlete himself (in the 1989 Games) will coach both the men's and women's teams. (This year will mark the first time water polo competition is open to women in the Games, but as of press time, only three delegations had registered to bring a women's team: the U.S., Israel and Hungary, whose national sport is water polo.) Peabody, who is himself Jewish and who has coached water polo and swimming for 16 years at the Bishop's School and been with the San Diego Shores for 22, has played the sport and coached both water polo and swimming in various capacities, from local kids and teens to adults at the national and international levels.
Joining Peabody are four San Diego athletes: Drew Hoffenberg, an alumnus of the Bishop's School and a native of Rancho Santa Fe who is currently entering his junior year at Princeton University, for the men's team; and Lauren Presant (2010 alumna of Brown University and a graduate of Poway High School), Sierra Stillwater (a recent graduate of Patrick Henry High School) and Emma Sasson (an upcoming sophomore at UCSD and an alumna of Rancho Bernardo High School), for the women's team.
Of the 26 athletes on the two teams (13 each), Peabody has coached Presant, Stillwater and Sasson at the club level and says he's optimistic about their anticipated performance, despite the fact that the teams are comprised of athletes from around the country who don't really know one another. He also dismisses the fact that they'll have just two days to train as a team prior to departure for Israel and between two and three hours a day once in Israel for the few weeks leading up to their competition, which is in the final week of the Games.
"I think it's going to be a great group of girls," says the seasoned coach who's used to fostering a team atmosphere and figuring out each player's role in a group of athletes who've hardly just met. "They're going to really have to listen and pay attention and decide really early on that they want to be a cohesive unit, and that's going to have to be a really fast initial buy-in.
Sasson, who joined a swim team at age 7 and has played competitive water polo since age 11, has gone to the Junior Olympics in her high school years and at age 16 won silver with her team. She played as part of a club team called Pacific Polo throughout middle school and on the San Diego Shores throughout high school. Now she plays for UCSD's Division I women's water polo team. Despite her wealth of competitive experience, she's especially excited for this opportunity to play the sport with which she calls herself obsessed in a country she's long overdue to visit.
Over the years, says the Congregation Beth El member (who grew up attending Ner Tamid Synagogue and who tries to partake in Hillel events as much as possible), water polo has been an activity she's mostly participated in alongside her mom. Competing in Israel, she says, offers her a way to connect with her dad through the sport she loves in a country he calls home.
While in Israel, Sasson says, she'll be able to visit family she hasn't seen since she was a small child as well as tour famous sites in the country with her team (an added perk of being an athlete: they all spend days sightseeing with their teams, sort of like a Birthright trip, Sasson explains).
She's also looking forward to competing on the biggest stage on which she's ever played, and probably will ever play.

Ancestors of Tim Farr and Descendants of Stephen Farr Sr. of Concord, Massachusetts and Lidlington, Bedfordshire, England
Richard CLAPP [scrapbook] died 1 before 25 Jul 1608 in Sidbury, Devonshire, England, United Kingdom. Richard married 2 Christian CLAPP in Sidbury, Devonshire, England, United Kingdom.
Christian CLAPP was born 1 about 1540 in Sidbury, Devonshire, England, United Kingdom. She died 2 in BET 25 JUL 1608 AND 12 AUG 1608 in Sidbury, Devonshire, England, United Kingdom. Christian married 3 Richard CLAPP in Sidbury, Devonshire, England, United Kingdom.
Christian had a will 4 in 1608 in Sidbury, Devonshire, England, United Kingdom.
The yeoman family of Clapp was living in the Devonshire parish of Sidbury as early as 1883 whep Roger Clappc was listed in a subsidy, and Clapp's hill is still a place name in the parish after the lapse of six centuries. Unfortunately, the parish register of Sidbury has been destroyed by fire so that it has been impossible to determine the exact relationship which the Clapps who were living in the parish in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries bore to each other. A few Clapp wills in the various probate courts of Devonshire had been abstracted before the Registry at Exeter was totally destroyed in the blitzkrieg, but they do not serve to make a proven pedigree of any great length.
1. CHRISTIAN CLAPP of Sidbury, co. Devon, a grandmother when she made her will in 1608, was probably born about 1540. The name of her husband is not known. She had an only son, Nicholas Clapp, and, as Peter Clapp of Sidbury, husbandman, who made his will in 1622, mentions his brother Nicholas Clapp, there is a possibility that Christian s husband had had an earlier wife who was the mother of Peter Clapp and his brother Robert C]app whom Peter also names in his will. This theory is, of course, dependent on Christian s son and Peter's brother being the same man. In 1555 a William Clapp of Sidbury, but living in the parish of Harforde, made a will leaving legacies to the two children of his son Richard, who appears to have been his only son. One may hazard a guess, based purely on time and place, that Richard Clapp was the husband of our widow Christian, but the family may have, in the interval between 1338 (or earlier) and 1555, produced very distantly related branches even in the same parish, while the wills show that in the neighboring villages there were in the sixteenth century many other representatives of the name. It is safer to begin our pedigree with the lone widow.
Christian Clapp of Sidbury, co. Devon, widow, made her will July 25, 1608, and it was proved August 12, 1608, by the executor Nicholas Clapp of Sidbury. She bequeaths to the poor of Sidbury. To her god-children. To god-daughter dwelling at Broadclist, "one Petecotte with browne charmlet bodyes." To Mary Clapp, a gown. To Elizabeth Clapp, my son Nicholas his *Abstracts of the wills and other English material were kindly supplied to me by Mary Lovering Holman.

wife, my cloak. To Prudence Clapp, Anne Crutchet and Ann Windsam, all my linen apparell to be equally divided. To Ann Windsam, my feather-bed, a bolster, a red coverlet and the mattress.

To foresaid Ann Windsam £10 to be employed for her benefit and if she die before twenty said £10 to remain to Prudence Clapp. To my daughter Eyde Crutchett, £10.

NICHOLAS CLAP AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
[Compiled from MS. of EBENEZER CLAP of Dorchester.]
NICHOLAS CLAP, fourth son of Richard Clap of England1 was born in 1612. He was a cousin of the celebrated Capt. Roger Clap, through whose influence, it is supposed, Nicholas2 came to this country about 1633, and settled in Dorchester, Mass.

Roger Clap; his second, Abigail, 1widow of Robert Sharp of Brookline. it is presumed that the residence of Nicholas Clap was in the north part of the town of Dorchester, near the house now standing, which was occupied by the late Deacon Ehenezer Clap, senior, who died March 6th, 1860. See Reg. XIV. 284. Nicholas Clap died suddenly, in his barn, Nov. 24th, 1679. His estate was appraised by James Hum-frey, William Sumner, Henry Leadhetter.

Henshaw does not include daughter Mary (Marie).
2. "More About Those Rices" (1954) by Elsie Hawes Smith
Smith lists all twelve children. First child is Marie.

I have also used the following source for corrections:
5. "Supplement the Rice Family: Descendants of Deacon Edmund Rice" (1967) by Edmund Rice (1638)Association, Inc.
This supplement starts with the third generation so no information on the children is included. There have been two additional supplements which I have not seen.
Some sources say that Edmund had no daughter named Mary or that she died in England. Mary's Christening record has been found in the Stanstead, Suffolk, England records as being 18 Aug 1618 and her father as "Edm.".

The Hurd line given here may be incorrect according to "The Great Migration" by Robert Charles Anderson. However Thomas Brigham's wife was Mercy____, and she did marry Edmund Rice.

Regarding the tradition that Thomas's wife, Mercy, was Mercy Hurd, Winifred Lovering Holman remarked that the "names of Hurd and Hunt could be easily confused and without further evidence I do not accept that her maiden name was Hurd" [Stevens-Miller Anc 2:109-31, especially 115]. We concur.

What kind of wax is used for Union + Dixie candles?
All of our candles are made with a pure, non-GMO natural coconut wax and scented with essential oils.
What are the benefits of burning coconut wax?
Coconut wax is less problematic for asthmatics and free of toxins and harmful pollutants. It also emits negative ions, which are beneficial to the human body.
Why is coconut a better wax choice for candles?
Many wax blends are disguised as "natural" even if they contain processed materials. Soy wax is a product of GMO ingredients and often processed with unnatural ingredients. Another popular wax blend is paraffin, which is a petroleum byproduct that can emit harmful toxins. Coconut is a premium, sustainable, harmless, natural alternative that produces a beautiful smooth wax.
Where are the candles produced?
Union + Dixie is proud to say that all products are made in the USA.
What is the burn time per candle?
Each 8oz pour candle will burn cleanly for over 50 hours.
Are Union + Dixie candles vegan-friendly?
Yes, there are no beeswax or animal products used in our candle production.
What type of wick is used in the candles?
All Union + Dixie candles are made with cotton wicks.
My glass candle vessel is beginning to look cloudy, is this normal?
The cloudy appearance is caused by the natural characteristics of the coconut wax and does not affect the scent or burn time of the candle.
The longer I burn my candle, the wilder the flame becomes, how do I fix this?
If the wick is too long, the flame may become unwieldy. Simply trim the wick to ¼" and keep the candle away from drafty areas.
What is Union + Dixie's return policy?
Union + Dixie products are handcrafted so there may be slight variations in size, color, texture and finish. These are not considered flaws. Please examine your order upon arrival for any discrepancies. Claims for damaged or defective goods must be reported with photographic evidence within 5 business days of shipment arrival date and are subject to a 20% restocking fee.
Please contact us at sales@uniondixie.com for more information on wholesale purchasing.
Do architects and designers get a discount?
Yes, please contact sales@uniondixie.com for more information. In order to qualify you must have a state resale number.
Why can Union + Dixie candles only be shipped when the outside temperature is 80 degrees or less?
The proof is in the pudding! Because we don't believe in any of those yucky additives like paraffin or soy, which increase the melting point of the wax, Union + Dixie candles have a lower melting point and are only shipped when the outside temperature is 80 degrees or less.


Aim and Objective: The main objective of this study was the research of the protective effect of a complex biologically active additive containing dietary fiber and lecithin on the model of associative mycotoxicosis reproduced on laboratory animals. Materials and Methods: Experimental modeling of chronic associative mycotoxicosis was performed on 30 male rats, divided into three groups of 10 individuals each. The essence of the method for the reproduction of associative mycotoxicosis was that for 30 days, the rats of the first and second experimental groups were fed with the feed that was naturally contaminated with mycotoxins. The rats of the firstexperimental group were additionally supplemented daily per os with a complex biologically active additive in a dosage of 1.5 g per animal. The rats of the second experimental group were fed only with toxic feed. The third group of rats served as a biological control, receiving benign mixed feed. The effectiveness of the protective action of the additive was estimated by the survival rate of rats, gravimetric body weight, clinical signs, and changes in biochemical blood factors. Results: Application of the complex additive consisting of product processing plant raw materials - sugar beet pulp and rapeseed lecithin (in the ratio 4:1) on the background of feeding rats with the feed, contaminated with mycotoxins (association T-2 toxin, zearalenone, and aflatoxin B1), leads to a weakening of the action of xenobiotics that are manifested by improvement of biochemical homeostasis and functional state of liver of the experimental animals. Conclusion: The conducted studies have shown that the use of plant dietary fibers in combination with phospholipids of lecithins on the laboratory background of mycotoxicosis results in weakening of xenobiotic action, which is manifested by improvement of biochemical homeostasis and liver functional status of experimental rats, increasing their safety, and decreasing clinical manifestations of intoxication.

Here are 4 versions of a similar composition. You may or may not like the subject--that's life. But I'm looking for comments relating to the different versions. They range from darker to lighter. Three of them have been posted before. But just curious which of the 4 do anything for you, do they work as a series for you, and how would you have shot them differently.
From top to bottom, 1, 3 and 4 make a nice triptych; they each have an element of drama about them. For some reason, they remind me of old-skool Ilford 400.
I like them all except for the wires crossing through the middle of the frame. However, I notice you isolated the truck and car between the wires which is a nice touch given the constraints.
My favorite is probably #3.
I really like the 1st and 3rd together... the 2nd looks a little out of place, I think its because the subject is entirely clear (no darkness, no snow, no real drama as mentioned above).
All four are interesting shots.
In the first one, the light in the upper right corner is a bit distracting. I think the whole shot would improve if you could edit it to not be that strong, since that attracted my eye the most and I'm pretty sure that wasn't the intention.
The second one seems a bit plain and I think could be a lot better if you edit out at least a couple of the wires. They are just a bit distracting.
The third and fourth work well, since like the poster above said, you did a good job of framing the car and the truck between the wires.
My favorite from the set would be the first one IF the light in the corner wouldn't be so strong. It just has this dramatic feel to it.
Overall, I like the set and if you could do the changes to one and two, then it would be even better (I'm no master with Photoshop or photo editing, so I don't know how feasible it is).
I'm going to look at each one outside of the others around it.
For me #1 is too dark. I think that's one that would actually look better in color and not black and white. If your lights are anything like mine, they give off a sepia type color to everything. I'd find that more interesting than B&W.
#2 just doesn't have enough snow in it yet to be interesting for me. There's also very little action here. There's no cars and little snow falling.
#3 is similar to #2, though the falling snow livens things up more. The car is not that interesting, though, because it's just a car.
#4 is my favorite. Lots of snow coverage covering up all the lines on the buildings. It also changes the wires from "in the way" to some interesting curved lines that provide a contrast to the straight lines of the buildings. The snow plow is a more interesting vehicle because it only happens when there is snow, and it provides some action to the picture.
Thanks for all the feedback, it is greatly appreciated.
The scenes were all shot from my living room window. I was able to rest the camera on a window sill which served as a "ghetto" tripod. This limited my composition somewhat, but it made it easier to shoot a similar composition in very different circumstances. It also allowed me the option to use longish exposures without too much camera shake.
While it's dark overall in B&W, I thought the tonal variations were enough to justify it in B&W. I could be wrong though. The color version just did nothing for me.
The second shot is pretty boring. I passed over it initially and didn't really look at it until I started thinking about making a series going from dark to light. I agree with everyone that it's pretty "meh."
I personally like the third pic because the falling snow adds some natural "grain" to the image. I like it juxtaposed to the first pic because they are almost tonal opposites: dark overall with a light road compared to lighter overall with a dark road.
The final is my personal favorite. It captures the "blizzard" mood that was present yesterday.
The wires are annoying distractions (though less so in number 3 where they aren't as obvious and in number 4 where the snow on them makes them more interesting). They stick out like a sore thumb in number 1 though. I also agree that the light in the upper right of number 1 is also pretty distracting. It's the only place in the shot where you can see the blur of the snow falling though. The light is more of a negative than a positive for the image, as pointed out in the comments.
To me (at least) I think the orange color is more interesting than B&W here. That's just the way it looks! The glow is enhanced by the snow on the ground reflecting it, too. With the B&W version I think you lose too much of that.
In all seriousness, #3 is my preference.
I like 1 and 4 best!
I like the atmosphere of 1, plus the way the three sets of lights form an implied triangle in contrast to the explicit horizontal, vertical and oblique lines. Personally, I like those lights, although the top right hand one is too strong relative to the others. I prefer it B&W as having the lights seeming the same colour strengthens this sense of a triangle, and also the streetside lights on the original look too separated for this effect to work well.
I think 2 is boring because my eye just gets led up the road and gets stuck at the end of it. I think it needs either a vehicle/person on the road to provide some kind of 'pausing point' for the eye or at least a dark patch at the end combined with a nearby light patch (as on 1) to drag the eye away from the end of the road.
3 has a vehicle on the road to provide such a pausing point, but I don't find the car itself interesting, and since the car's headlights are the only source of artificial light in the scene my eyes just get stuck on it. If some rooms were lit up as brightly as the headlights it may have countered that problem.
4 I like due to the interest of the vehicle, its framing between the wires and its very dark windscreen. If it weren't for that strategic patch of black then I think one half of the photo would be too uniformly white and the other too uniformly dark to work in B&W.
4 beats out 1 for me, but I like them both!

As designs for seven permanent barriers on campus bridges move toward completion, Prof. Garrett Glasgow, U.C. Santa Barbara, political science, said there is no reason to believe that the barriers will save lives, as Cornell has repeatedly suggested.
In a forthcoming study in the Journal of Science and Medicine, Glasgow develops an alternative test for assessing whether barriers simply lead to method substitution — the transfer of suicides elsewhere when one location is blocked off.
Surveying 3116 counties across the United States, Glasgow's paper found "no positive relationship between [suicide hot spots] and the overall number of suicides" of a given area.
This means even if the barriers reduce the incidence of suicide at the specific site at which they are installed, there is no evidence that they decrease overall suicides rates in a given area.
Gannett Director of Mental Health Initiatives Tim Marchell '82 and Associate Director of Communications at Gannett Sharon Dittman disagreed with Glasgow on several fronts, particularly for linking the barriers' effectiveness explicitly with an area's suicide rate.
"When a barrier reduces the average number of suicides per year at a bridge from one to zero … the impact on the annual suicide rate is not statistically significant. But having 20 fewer deaths over 20 years from that bridge would be a meaningful outcome," Marchell said in a statement.
Glasgow responded that the manner in which these suicides occurred should not be considered particularly important.
Marchell, however, said that several potential effects of jumping suicides off bridges — including psychological trauma to bystanders and risk of suicide contagion — did make eliminating jumping deaths significant.
Marchell and Dittman argued that even if an area's overall suicide rate does not change, individual lives may be saved.
"Means restriction is an important part of suicide prevention, whether or not it leads to a statistically significant decrease in local suicide rates," Marchell said. Marchell added that suicide rates for Tompkins County would not be necessarily be reflective of changes at Cornell.
Like Marchell, Dittman said the barriers could still save lives, even if they do not lower local suicide rates.
While Marchell and Glasgow agreed that no study has proven the efficacy of bridge barriers one way or another, they differed on the significance of the literature on the subject.
"No study on suicide barriers has been able to demonstrate a lifesaving effect, and most of them openly acknowledge this," Glasgow said.
Glasgow is not alone in questioning Cornell's interpretation of the extant data on bridge barriers and suicide prevention.
In January, Dan Jost '05 published an article in Landscape Architecture that doubted the University's justification for building the barriers.
In the article, Jost evaluates the impact of various bridge barrier studies cited by Cornell. For instance, the University has cited an article on a bridge barrier placed on the Duke Ellington Bridge in Washington D.C. in 1986.
Jost quotes Tommy Bruce, Cornell's vice president of communications, as saying that although a barrier placed on the Duke Ellington Bridge reduced suicides at that site, the nearby Taft Bridge did not see an increase in suicides. According to Jost, Bruce viewed this as evidence that the Duke Ellington Bridge barrier saved lives.
"But it seems few people have read the actual report on this subject," Jost writes. He also quotes the article as saying the "'the data are not sufficient'" to conclude that the bridge barriers were an effective means of preventing suicide.
"I will leave others to explain why the researchers Cornell has employed didn't seem to dig deeply enough to see their conclusions in that article were unjustifiable," Jost told The Sun.
Last July, University of Toronto Prof. Anthony Levitt, psychiatry, published a study on a bridge barrier placed at the Bloor Street Viaduct in Toronto.
"No study of a suicide prevention barrier has shown a statistically significant drop in overall rates of suicide in the vicinity," Levitt's study states.
He said that, "unprecedented in any community in the country," jumping suicides account for nearly half of all suicides by Cornell students.
"In young adults, suicide is often an ambivalent act. Barriers buy time by slowing down the thoughts of desperate, impulsive individuals," Marchell said, arguing Glasgow's study does not address these particularities of Cornell.
Still, Jost viewed Cornell's distinctive environment as an argument against the barriers and for preserving the original view of the gorges.
Marchell said that the barriers have already saved lives since being placed on campus last spring.
"We have at least two documented cases in which bystanders were able to successfully intervene in a suicide attempt because the barriers slowed down individuals who were attempting to jump," Marchell said.
Thursday night The Sun received an e-mail from Chris Hoeber '69, who said he was in a similar position more than 40 years ago.
Speaking from experience, Hoeber questioned the ability of "people who are addressing legal liability, but who don't know what the hell they are talking about with respect to preventing suicide," to make a decision about the bridge barriers.

14 Beautiful Smaller Cities and Towns in Austria
By: Natalie Smith
While the eyes of many tourists are drawn to the big and bustling cities of Austria, there are quite a few peaceful towns and smaller cities that don't get this attention, but they tell the true story of the beautiful country in their humble and wonderful way. Do not let their size mislead you, because their magnificent architecture and location in front of the mountainous landscapes and clear lakes of Austria can provide quite a few activities that will leave you with a want for more. Here are 14 of the most beautiful small cities and towns in Austria, which can upgrade your next trip to the country and make it particularly fascinating.
1. Feldkirch
Near Austria's western border with Switzerland lies the magnificent city of Feldkirch, considered the capital of the picturesque district of Vorarlberg. During a tour of the city's ancient center and along its various streets, tourists are exposed to an ancient medieval setting that has been preserved in an astonishing way. The magnificent picture is completed by the great nature that surrounds the city and blends perfectly with the tranquility that characterizes it.
2. Millstatt
The small town of Millstatt is considered by many to be one of the most spectacular destinations on the banks of the Millstätter See. Apart from its view of the Austrian Alps, the town offers a tour of its historic buildings, which reflect the architectural currents of the late 19th century in Austria, and a visit to an ancient Benedictine monastery.
3. Heinfells
The town of Heinfells was named after the great medieval castle that overlooks the nearby hills. The ruins of the castle, built in the 13th century, provide a glimpse into the distant past of Austria, where local nobles were required to defend themselves and the territories they controlled from invaders through high guard posts. The town itself offers a mesmerizing view of country houses that are far apart and harmoniously combine with the surrounding green tapestry.

7. Bad Gastein
Only an hour and a half drive separates the lively city of Salzburg from the peaceful old town of Bad Gastein. This magical town is considered a popular ski destination due to its location near the Hohe Tauern Mountains, one of the largest and most famous national parks in Austria. In addition, the town itself offers a variety of bars that break down the sense of daily calm and make the stay there quite diverse.
8. Schröcken
Schröcken is a small town located in the western district of Vorarlberg. The beauty of the place stems from a combination of its modest appearance, which is characterized by wooden huts and small stone houses scattered along the hills and the remote Silvretta mountain range, which is considered a popular ski resort during the winter season.
9. Gnadenwald
The small town of Gnadenwald is the perfect destination for anyone looking to experience a peaceful European countryside at its best.

10. Mariazell
The small city of Mariazell in the province of Styria is a great destination for anyone who decides to take a trip along the magnificent southern region of Austria. Alongside the low and colorful houses, there is the ancient Mariazell basilica which is well known among the city's residents and attracts many worshipers every day. The church's charming appearance, painted in shades of pink, adds a splash of color to all visitors' trip.
11. Alpbach
The small village of Alpbach is located in a valley surrounded by high Alpine mountains and offers its visitors great hiking trails, however, its main attraction is the beautiful flower beds that adorn its picturesque wooden houses. The beauty of the place was even officially recognized when the village was crowned "the most beautiful in Austria".
12. Hallstatt
At a drive of 1 hour and 15-minutes away from the great city of Salzburg, Hallstatt is, without a doubt, one of the most famous picturesque towns in Austria. Apart from the town's magnificent architecture and its enchanting views from the nearby lake, Hallstatt offers tours of the world's first salt mine, what lead to it being named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
13. Kitzbühel
Kitzbühel is a small town located along the Kitzbüller-Lech. The town's mountainous environment is considered a world-famous ski destination, attracting sports and extreme enthusiasts from all over the world.

14. St. Gilgen
On the banks of Lake Wolfgang and the Austrian Alps, lies the picturesque town of St. Gilgen. In the town itself, visitors can tour its side streets and be impressed by the magnificent rural construction.

An inclusive community
Juliet A. Vickery
BOU President
As members are aware, the BOU has set up an Equality and Diversity Working Group to guide us as we try to makeour activities more inclusive and actively welcoming to anyone and everyone.
Ornithology is both a large and a close community. It spans the globe. Because so many of us know one another right around the world it can feel very small, even intimate. That's both a positive and a negative. Positive in that we can form such strong relationships which often go beyond professional collaboration to genuine friendship. But negative in that from the outside it can appear a closed, rather than close, community.
We are keen to ensure that we identify and overcome all barriers, to enable ornithology to be welcoming and inclusive to anyone and everyone.
In 2020, events in the US brought the issue of racial diversity and inclusion to the fore. Black Lives Matter demonstrations around the world drove the discussion between individuals, in institutes, in societies, across governments and throughout society as a whole. The BOU is unequivocal in our stand against all forms of racism and prejudice in ornithology and wider society.
Sadly, like many of the biological sciences, racial diversity within ornithology remains pitifully low in countries where the majority are white. This will remain a key issue in coming years, with a particular challenge being how biology and ecology degree courses can increase the intake of People of Colour. Whilst this almost certainly begins at secondary/high school level, well beyond the influence of a small society such as the BOU, we need to ensure that we ourselves are both welcoming and engaging for People of Colour, once they seek to enter ornithology at degree stage.
Read our Black Lives Matter statement
BOU, discrimination and the Law
In response to Black Lives Matter, and the initiatives seen throughout society as a result, we are looking at ways that we can better identify and overcome barriers for all groups within our community.
We are delighted that the recent legacy left by former member John Warham and his wife Pat, is already funding PhD students from Commonwealth nations, as they both wanted. This year, Black Lives Matter highlighted the fact that the first three of these studentships were awarded to universities in the UK, Australia and Canada (with New Zealand the only other country from which we received applications) and students from those same countries were appointed (this may simply reflect where qualifying projects and candidates are most likely to come from). We have not received an application from any institute in the other 50 Commonwealth jurisdictions (whose citizens comprise the majority).
UK discrimination legislation prevents us from discriminating against any group on grounds of race, ethnicity or religion. We still have at least one studentship to award and we strongly wish better to reflect the diversity of the Commonwealth, by making an award to an institute and student from a Commonwealth country other than the four we have received applications from to date. However, we cannot do so unless suitable projects are put forward and candidates apply!
When we next make a call for applications, we ask that, in the first instance, if you know of a qualifying institute, that you encourage them to apply to host a studentship, and secondly, encourage seabird researchers who are citizens of these Commonwealth nations to apply for the position when advertised.
Unlike skin colour, sexual identity is not immediately visible. Likewise, prejudice against the LGBT community can also be less visible.
To help better inform our members and wider ornithological community about the issues faced by LGBT people working in ornithology, we launched our Rainbow Blog series, in which we aim to highlight key issues from different peoples' perspectives and to bring the individual initials within LGBTQIA+ to life.
So far, we have published articles from ornithologists who identify as gay, trans, queer and ally and there are more articles planned. The series has been very warmly received by our membership, our wider ornithological community and beyond, and again highlights how the BOU can lead on important community issues.

Located in the historic center of the city of Santiago and declared a cultural heritage, the Cultural Center Mapocho Station is located steps from the "Puente Cal y Canto" metro station on line 2. Close to the traditional market "Mercado Central", the sector has become an obligatory destination for tourists who visit the capital. In addition, this place counts with paid parking spaces (limited) in the Parque de los Reyes with entrance from Avda. Balmaceda HISTORY Construction started in 1905 under the direction of Chilean architect Emilio Jécquier. After the cultural change experienced in Chile at the beginning of the 20th century, a new railway station was necessary and it was built under the presidency of Pedro Montt. This new station allowed people to get to far places such as Iquique in the north of Chile or even to Mendoza, Argentina. It was declared National Monument in 1976. In 1987 it stops operating as a train station, is restored in 1994 and turned into a Culture Centre that offers a broad range of cultural programs and houses important host to concerts, art exhibitions, fairs and conventions.

Gridiron Glory: The Lost Art of Signing5 min read
November 14, 2018 October 23, 2020 Terry MeliaCategories Autographs, Collecting Tips
Throughout 30 years of covering, researching and writing about this great hobby, I've discovered one indisputable truth. The level of penmanship practiced by professional athletes has waned considerably. Is the habit of signing one's name a lost art? Maybe it's a societal shift in our schools? Are grade-school teachers moving away from practicing the repetitious act? Or is today's technology – with every form of communication coming from a computer, smart phone or simply via text – so detached from old-school penmanship that the skill of handwriting has been lost? Perhaps forever.
Just last week, during an on-air segment on the Great American Collectibles Show with co-host and former Boston Red Sox infielder Rico Petrocelli, I asked him that very question. His response: "Nowadays, Terry, forget it. I don't understand it. If I was a collector, I would want pretty good, legible autographs." After being complimented on his own signature by fellow show host Tom Zappala, the 75-year-old Petrocelli responded: "Well, the nuns, back in the day, would crack you over the head if it wasn't good." I got a good chuckle out of that, but it also drove the point home that today's athletes may need to be reminded to take a moment and really give a solid effort when they sign. It's something the fan cherishes, and will no doubt hold on to for a period of time. Perhaps they'll even pass it on to their next of kin.
All of this leads me to today's post, which, given the season, I've decided to devote to some of the best autographs ever scrawled by five of the NFL's best. The following quintet of Football Hall of Famers have some of the cleanest, most legible and aesthetically pleasing signatures the hobby has ever seen. I wanted to recognize them for not only their on-field accomplishments that landed them in Canton, but on the fact that their autographs are all Hall of Fame caliber. They are all featured within PSA's AutographFacts section so don't be shy about comparing their signatures. As always, autograph authentication by PSA/DNA is recommended.
The MVP of Super Bowls I and II, Bart Starr is the player who turned Green Bay into Titletown, USA. The longtime QB of the Packers teamed with head coach Vince Lombardi to turn the state of Wisconsin into a football mecca. The now 84-year-old icon was drafted in the 17th round of the 1956 NFL Draft (199th overall) and was study in patience and progress out on the field. The same can be said for his autograph, which is undeniably a work of art. When you get a signature from Starr, you know you're getting quality and, best of all, you know whose it is.
The "Kansas Comet" was a top-flight running back taken by the Chicago Bears with the fourth overall pick in the 1965 NFL Draft. Graceful and elusive out on the field, Gale Sayers set numerous rushing records despite playing just parts of seven NFL seasons. In his rookie year, he scored an NFL record 22 touchdowns and gained 2,272 all-purpose yards, another record for an NFL rookie. Knee injuries forced Sayers into early retirement, but with the same dedication he performed out on the field as well as rehabbing his knee, he mastered one of the most graceful autographs the industry has ever seen. At 75, his signature remains as popular as ever.
"Broadway Joe" is best known for the pregame guarantee that his 14-point underdog New York Jets would, indeed, beat the heavily favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. Brash, stylish and not afraid to speak his mind, the 6-foot-2 signal-caller from the Univ. of Alabama was taken by the Jets with the first overall pick in the 1965 AFL Draft. Namath signed his contract and continued to hone his handwriting skills throughout the years. Today, based on his Super Bowl prediction and subsequent 16-7 win, fans continue to line up for the 75-year-old Namath's sought-after signature at venues across the country including the National Sports Collectors Convention.
An entire generation knows Terry Bradshaw as only a football pundit who shares his opinion on all matters of the gridiron every Sunday on FOX. But well before he became an NFL analyst, Bradshaw set the benchmark for all quarterbacks to come. Taken by the Steelers with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1970 NFL Draft, the perennial Pro Bowler steered Pittsburgh to four Super Bowl titles (IX, X, XIII and XIV) in six years and was named MVP of football's biggest game twice. His signature mirrors the meticulous way he went about directing the Steelers' offense for 13 seasons. The spry 70-year-old continues to thrill the masses, only nowadays he's doing it for fantasy football fanatics who love the game almost as much as he does.
John Elway rocked the NFL during a tumultuous 1983 NFL Draft by demanding that he not be selected by the then-Baltimore Colts with the No. 1 overall pick. The former Stanford standout would eventually settle on a trade to the Denver Broncos and the rest, as they say, is history. Back-to-back Super Bowl titles (XXXII and XXXIII) and a Super Bowl MVP award cemented Elway's legacy as Denver's greatest QB in history. Now serving as the team's President of Football Operations, Elway has had ample of time to finesse his signature by signing plenty of player contracts. Like his passes used to be, his delivery with a pen or marker is precise, fast and tight. Adding his uniform number "7" and "HOF 04" is always a nice touch.

Not all can't some just don't want to sign their names out. 2 very good examples are Joe Montana & Jerry Rice. Early in there career both signed there full names but as time went on it shrank to J squiggle, M squiggle with a loop. Jerry went to JY Rice were it was a full Jerry Rice in the beginning. Many just don't have any pride in their signature. I am good friends with Gale Sayers and have been for over 25 years. I have seen examples out there that are G Sayers. I asked Gale about them and he told me " I would never signed my name that way, I owe it to my fans to sign my whole name for them." I have been in the business for over 36 years myself and have watched autographs change. People paying $850.00 for Guys like Brady to put TB on something is insulting as far as I'm concerned & that is why I don't own one. Many others out there the very same, if you can't give me the respect of signing for what I have paid for then I don't need it. Griffey, Jeter, Rivera have some of the best signatures of younger guys.

The "pour" series by Holton Rower is created by pouring successive layers of colorful acrylic paint onto three-dimensional box-shaped plywood objects. The final piece is has much the result of Rower's colour selection and carefully timed pouring, as it is the work of the paint surface tension and gravity.
Wow! I'm very impressed, well thought out and executed.

Mozambique Opposition Won't Abandon Government Talks
October 11, 2016 Sports
Mozambique's opposition party Renamo will not abandon talks with the government, its spokesperson said, after one of its senior officials was shot dead by unidentified gunmen on a Maputo beach Saturday.
The killing of Jeremias Pondeca, a member of the Joint Commission set up to find ways to overcome a standoff between the government and Renamo over a range of issues, came days before the commission was to resume talks.
Renamo national spokesperson Antonio Muchanga said negotiations will go forward, according to state news agency AIM.
"Renamo will continue the negotiations. Even today, if the Joint Commission was in session, Renamo would be willing to take part in the negotiations," Muchanga was quoted as saying.
"This barbaric act, committed by the enemies of democracy and of the well-being of the Mozambican people, is intended to force Renamo to abandon the dialogue," he added.
The talks were to resume Monday after being interrupted September 30. But the coordinator of the international mediating team, Mario Rafaelli, has announced a further delay to October 18, AIM said.
Muchanga said Pondeca would not be replaced because there are "a reasonable number" of Renamo members on the commission to continue its work.
The commission has so far reached no definitive agreement on any of the matters on its agenda, including Renamo's demands for six provincial governors and the inclusion of its militia in the army and police.
Renamo and the government were on opposing sides in a civil war from the late 1970s until the early 1990s before a peace accord ended the fighting. But it still has its own militia.
In the run-up to elections in October 2014, Renamo partisans clashed sporadically with troops and police. Renamo said it would not take up its parliamentary seats in protest at the results of the election.

Honu Wisdom Oracle Card #32 ~ If you quiet your mind, stay present and really listen, you will be amazed at the results you will see in your life. There's 2 subjects here. One is about listening to the inside inspirations coming from your higher self, and the other is about being alert to what someone else is telling you. Both have beneficial outcomes. First, you may find it a good idea to meditate for a few minutes before starting each day, especially right after waking up from your night's sleep. You will have a clean slate for thoughts to start accumulating for your new day. Being calm will start attracting calm thoughts and therefore calm events to manifest during the course of your day. This helps you to maintain a balanced, healthy life. During the course of your day, when you interact with people, pay attention to what they are saying. Everyone wants to be heard. You will soon find that people just like to be around you and they may not know why. You are like that beacon of light that rids the darkness. Your interactions will be peaceful and healing and the energy shared will help raise each other's vibration as all co-create our experiences.

British actor Anthony Daniels was a young stage actor when he was approached in 1975 by director George Lucas to play the droid C-3PO in a new film to be called Star Wars.
Anthony thought it was a low budget film, and he wasn't interested at first because he wasn't a science fiction fan. He was one of hundreds of actors asked to meet with George Lucas to discuss the role, but he turned it down. Luckily, Anthony's agent finally persuaded him to go on the interview after all.
Lucas was interested in Anthony's mime skills, because the actor playing C-3PO would have to rely on gestures and movement, rather than facial expressions. After meeting with Lucas and reading the script, Anthony changed his mind and during a phone call with Lucas, he asked if he could have the part, and the director replied, "Sure."
That was the beginning of a whole new adventure for Anthony, whose career took off. He has since been the only actor to appear in all seven Star Wars films and has also voiced C-3PO on many television series, including Star Wars: the Clone Wars and several Lego Star Wars TV movies.
He's also had, on occasion, opportunities to play other characters, including on the Canadian TV series The Edison Twins, filmed in Toronto, and British TV series such as Three Up Two Down, Singles, Square Deal and Doctors.
Also a talented writer, Anthony produced a comic book for Dark Horse, entitled The Protocol Offensive. His writing skills were also called upon by Hasbro Interactive for their Star Wars Monopoly.
Anthony lives in London, England, with his wife, Christine Savage.
