Press Release 03.12.18
Cascadia Rail celebrates high speed rail progress in legislature
Region one step closer to fast intercity transit, benefiting economy and quality of life
Cascadia Rail congratulates the Washington Legislature and the governor for funding further study of true high-speed rail connecting the Pacific Northwest. In the final day of the 2018 session, the legislature appropriated $750,000 (summing to $1.2 million if potential local matching funds are included) for further analysis of ridership, possible alignments and economic benefits of the alignment.
"Cascadia Rail applauds the efforts of Washington State Representatives Judy Clibborn, Gael Tarleton, Jake Fey and Senators Steve Hobbs and Marko Liias for their successful, visionary efforts to advance high speed rail in our region" said Cascadia Rail Board Vice President Paige Malott. "Whisking between Portland/Seattle and Seattle/Vancouver in 40-50 minutes is an achievable dream, and every incremental step matters."
"With airports near capacity and highways increasingly unreliable, we need a revolution in intercity travel," said Anthony Gill of the Spokane Chapter. "High-speed rail hits the sweet spot, giving us the door-to-door speed of air travel, the clean energy of mass transit, and a better traveler experience all in one. With the legislature's continued support and continued rapid population growth on the horizon, the time is now to make this happen."
"We commend the Washington Legislature for stepping up," said Michael Zirkle, leader of the Tacoma Chapter of Cascadia Rail. "Tacoma to Seattle in 10 minutes and Tacoma to Portland in half an hour is transformational. The regional value is clear."
This new funding brings the dream of fast, effortless regional travel one step closer to reality, though additional funding partners may be needed to complete a study that is truly investment grade.
"We are ready for this," said Matt Glaziewski of the Portland Chapter. "We support a strong partnership to fully fund the due diligence necessary to bring this to our region."
The enabling legislation requires the study to be completed by June 2019.
Cascadia Rail is a grassroots, Seattle-based organization with a vision for fast, effortless regional travel between Vancouver, Seattle, Portland and Spokane. For more information, to donate or to volunteer, visit www.cascadiarail.org.

Academic Year 2019-2020
Alex Belyea (Chinese)
Alex Belyea is a first-year student in the Henry M. Jackson School's MAIS China Studies Program. His research interests include economic and public policy, political economy, and international relations.
The Chinese nation holds a firm grasp on the modern global geopolitical landscape, and as a result, its actions affect not only China, but also the social, economic, and political phenomena of other countries around the world. The FLAS Fellowship allows Alex to take courses relevant to his areas of study while furthering his ability in the Chinese language. Thanks to this, Alex can pursue career goals of working together with intergovernmental organizations to use China as a platform for developing global strategies to burgeon the strength and connectivity of the world, both economically and socially.
Allison Foltyn (Japanese)
Allison Foltyn is working on her MA in Korea Studies at the Jackson School. Thanks to her FLAS Fellowship, she will be adding the study of the Japanese language to complement her knowledge of Korean.
Allison aims to use her Japanese language acquisition to better study Korea's colonial period under Japanese rule. She will also develop understanding of the current diplomatic relationships of the region. Allison's aspiration is to enter the Foreign Service or other diplomatic work in the future.
Ryan Goehrung (Chinese)
As a PhD student in Political Science with a professional background in International Development, a primary focus of Ryan Goehrung's research is on forced migration and human trafficking, particularly in the Asian region.
Ryan gained fluency in Tagalog (Filipino) during his Peace Corps service in the Philippines. Because his research deals with flows of migrants across borders, he wishes to gain fluency in another Asian language to better conduct cross-national research. His Summer FLAS Fellowship to intensively study intermediate Mandarin (Chinese) on the UW campus is an invaluable opportunity in this respect, enabling him to conduct research on human trafficking flows from the Philippines to Taiwan. With the help of the FLAS program, Ryan's hope is that future research in this area will provide a better understanding of human trafficking for policy makers, governments and activists to address this transnational crime.
Nicola Kalderash (Chinese)
Nicola Kalderash will soon be a 5th year student studying Informatics out of the iSchool and International Studies out of the Jackson School. Pursuing a double degree has extended his time in campus but also allowed him to better understand the interdependencies of technology and policy in a globalized world, and the rise of Asia at its crux.
Nicola is studying Mandarin in Taiwan in Summer 2019. He will focus on learning more about economic espionage of proprietary technology, a highly topical issue as of late. His career goal is to become a consultant with an Asia-tech focus for government, assisting in national security. Receiving the FLAS has made Nicola's study abroad more achievable as he doesn't have to worry about taking on significant amounts of debt!
Ian Smith (Japanese)
Ian Smith will be a second-year MA student in the Japan Studies Program at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. He will take up Japanese for the first time in two years and is excited to traverse the strokes of kanji once more.
Ian is a modern Japanese historian who studies the military and economic history of Japan during World War I and the interwar period, with emphasis on how the Empire was affected by global factors such as New Imperialism and the Great Depression. He also nurtures an interest in the political economy, business, and technological innovation of high-tech industries in Japan during the postwar period. These fields require reading of primary documents in the Japanese language, and Ian is grateful that FLAS provides this opportunity. Following graduation, Ian will simultaneously pursue a PhD in History and an MBA, both of which will benefit from being a FLAS fellow.

Ok, so we've been living in our cosy little caravan for, what, about 6 weeks now. And I gotta tell ya. Life is good. I've never felt so peaceful and contented. Don't get me wrong, we still have our little spats about work and stuff, but nothing like we used to have.
Every morning we wake up and it's bright, no matter how gloomy it is outside, it's bright in here. That's probably down to the pink curtains, but I like it! We have breakfast together outside if it's not raining and then he goes off to work. I sort my Dad out and then spend an hour doing whatever needs doing. Whether it be boring stuff like laundry or ebay, or it could be reading or writing if nothing else needs me. I then roll into work for an hour or 2 and sort out postage etc. When that's done, I do a bit of food shopping and come back home. The rest of the day is mine. I spend a lot of time reading outside. It's great! I'm tanned for the first time since I left Canada!
In the evenings, we watch films together, sometimes while doing a little bit of work for ebay but mostly, not. We chat and laugh loads, which is lovely! On Sundays, we've been going for long walks, picking blackberries and raspberries and coming home to bake pies or crumbles. Perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday! We barbecue for tea several times a week and I've even started having the odd beer or glass (bottle) of wine with the guys. I'm so much more chilled out now!
We are still looking for the right bus but we are getting closer each week. We have had to build up stock in our computer shop in preparation for when we leave it, so that takes up a lot of time and money, but we're getting there.
I'm trying to start seeing my friends again and start having a life outside of Twitter. Don't get me wrong, I love my Twitter friends and I'm so grateful for them, but sometimes a virtual hug just isn't the same as a real one. I need to start making time for people again. We've booked to go to our first ever music festival at the end of this month. It's fairly local and a lot of the bands they have on, we had at the club (we used to run a live music venue, about 5 years ago), so that's pretty cool. We're taking the caravan with us. So basically, I'm taking my home to a festival with me! Haha! I'm really looking forward to it!

ATLANTA – The Yellow Jackets quest for a third straight ITA National Team Indoor Championship title is still alive after the No. 8 Georgia Tech women's tennis (3-0) team defeated No. 21 Arizona State (3-1), 4-2, Sunday afternoon in the ITA Championship Qualifying match at the Bill Moore Tennis Center.
After dropping the doubles point, the Jackets had a lot of ground to make up against the Sun Devils. Freshman Irina Falconi, the nation's 23rd-ranked player, was up to the challenge, defeating Nadia Abdala, 6-0, 6-1, from the second spot in the lineup, to bring the score even at one.
Tech moved ahead 2-1, when freshman Viet Ha Ngo earned her third straight singles win of the dual-match season, a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Ashlee Brown in the No. 6 position. No. 57 Noelle Hickey followed with a 6-2, 6-3 win of her own in the No. 4 flight over Laila Abdala to give the Jackets a commanding 3-1 lead.
Third-ranked Kelcy McKenna of Arizona State kept the Sun Devils in the match when she defeated No. 11 Amanda McDowell, 6-2, 6-4, at the top spot in the lineup.
The Jackets clinched their spot in the championship tournament behind Sasha Krupina, who sealed her second Tech victory of the week from the No. 5 position, when she finished off Sianna Simmons, 6-1, 6-4.
Christy Striplin, who has had a strong weekend for the Jackets, won her first set, 7-6, against Micaela Hein in the fourth flight before the match was called after Krupina's match-clinching victory.
"Christy, our team's on;y senior, is the definition of a competitor," Shelton added.
The Yellow Jackets will have a week off before traveling to Madison, Wis., for the ITA National Women's Team Indoor Championships from Feb. 13-16. The event will be hosted by the University of Wisconsin at the Nielson Tennis Stadium.

Mitt Romney: GOP primary 'unhelpful'
By REID J. EPSTEIN
Mitt Romney says the long Republican primary was "unhelpful" in his quest to win the White House, but said it did not alter his ideological moorings.
Romney said in an interview aired Sunday on "Fox News Sunday" that he did not change his position to defeat opponents like Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, but the 2012 GOP presidential nominee said the intraparty attacks hurt his general election campaign.
"The idea that somehow it -- it -- that the primary made me become more conservative than I was just isn't - isn't accurate," Romney said. "On the other hand, a long and blistering primary, where people are attacking one another and where the attacks sometimes are not on the mark but are creating an un -- you know, unfavorable impression, those things are not helpful."

Market surges forward as EU+ airport passenger traffic doubles year on year
Jankovec calls for return to 80% airport slot usage rule reflecting "critical and dynamic juncture" in the recovery from the COVID 19 pandemic
European airport trade body ACI EUROPE today released its air traffic report for July 2022.
The report shows that passenger traffic across the European airport network increased by +70.4% in July compared to the same month last year. This was largely driven by international traffic (+102.5%) rather than domestic traffic (+11.8%).
When compared to pre-pandemic (July 2019) levels, passenger traffic in July stood at -14.4% - a further improvement compared to the previous month (-17.3% in June).
EU+ MARKET SURGING & DRIVING PASSENGER GROWTH
Airports in the EU+ market1 saw their passenger traffic nearly doubling at +94.3% in July compared to the same month last year, with those in Ireland (+386.5%), the UK (+349.6%), Finland (+268.5%), Slovakia (+167.1%) and Iceland (+146.8%) seeing the highest increases.
When compared to pre-pandemic (July 2019) levels, passenger traffic at EU+ airports stood at -14.6% in July. Airports in Greece (+5.4%), Luxembourg (+2.2%) and Iceland (+1.7%) achieved a full recovery - closely followed by those in Portugal (-1.8%), Romania (-2.9%) and Lithuania (-3%). At the other end of the spectrum, airports in Slovenia (-39.5%), Finland (-33.7%), Bulgaria (-29.5%) and Germany (-29.5%) remained the farthest from achieving full recovery. Amongst other larger EU+ markets, the best performances came from airports in Spain (-7.9%) and Italy (-9.6%), followed by France (-13.5%) and the UK (-19.1%).
Meanwhile, passenger traffic at airports in the rest of Europe2 only grew by +10.8% in July compared to the same month last year. This reflects the fact these airports had lost less traffic than EU+ airports last year, as well as the war wiping out all passenger traffic at Ukrainian airports, decreasing passenger traffic at airports in Belarus (-14.3%) and Russia (-8.8%) and also limiting gains for those in Moldova (+7.1%). The best performances in the non-EU+ market came from airports in Albania (+43.8%), Armenia (+38.6%), Georgia (+36.5%), North Macedonia (+35.2%) and Serbia (+35%) – followed by those in Turkey (+27.5%).
When compared to pre-pandemic (July 2019) levels, passenger traffic in the rest of Europe was almost aligned with the EU+ market in July at -13.5%.
Olivier Jankovec, Director General of ACI EUROPE said: "July has kept delivering a much needed boost in passenger traffic for most of Europe's airports, driven by revenge - and still predominantly leisure – travel, as well as Ultra Low Cost Carriers expanding capacity well above pre-pandemic levels. As the EU+ market has been very much driving the recovery and traffic volumes are finally getting closer to pre-pandemic levels, it is essential that the EU brings its airport slots rules back to normal - requiring airlines to effectively use these slots for 80% of the time during the forthcoming Winter season starting end of October. This is precisely what the European Commission has proposed based on a thorough market analysis – with all the necessary flexibility to duly account for travel restrictions still affecting some markets. Going back to the 80% usage rule is essential at this critical and dynamic juncture in the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. This is about ensuring an effective use of scarce airport capacity for the benefit of air connectivity, consumers and businesses."
MAJORS & LARGE AIRPORTS IMPROVING FAST, WITH REGIONALS OUTPERFORMING
The Majors (top 5 European airports) saw passenger traffic doubling (+100.3%) in July compared to the same month last year – largely driven by leisure intra-European and transatlantic demand.
Istanbul (+61.4% compared to the same month last year) remained the busiest European airport with 6.74 million passengers. It was the only Major exceeding pre-pandemic (July 2019) passenger volumes (+5.5%).
London Heathrow came second, with passenger volumes more than tripling (+317.8%) compared to the same month last year - followed by Paris-CDG (+97.1%).
Amsterdam-Schiphol (+70.9%) and Frankfurt (+76.5%) came in 4th and 5th position respectively - as capacity reductions needed to mitigate operational disruptions caused by staff shortages impacted passenger volumes.
When compared to pre-pandemic (July 2019) levels, passenger traffic at the Majors in July stood at -16.9%, mostly a reflection of continued travel restrictions to parts of Asia.
Amongst other hubs and large airports3:
Madrid (+96.6%) was less than 200 passengers short of overtaking Frankfurt.
London-Gatwick (+677%), Manchester (+482.9%), Dublin (+366%) and London-Stansted (+258.6%) all experienced exponential growth in passenger traffic.
When compared to pre-pandemic (July 2019) levels, predominantly leisure demand driven Paris-Orly (-1%), Palma de Mallorca (-1.8%), Athens (-4.9%) and Lisbon (-5.4%) posted the best results and came close to achieve a full recovery.
Regional and smaller airports also came very close to a full passenger traffic recovery in July compared to pre-pandemic (July 2019) levels, with airports with less than 10 million passengers per annum4 at -3%.
An increasing number of regional airports serving popular tourism destinations and/or relying on Low Cost Carriers saw passenger volumes well ahead of pre-pandemic (July 2019) levels - including: Zadar (+60.5%), Tirana (+57.6%), Santorini (+37.5%), Figari (+33.3%), Funchal (+28.6%), Beauvais (+23.3%), Turin (+23.7%), Chania (+21.8%), Kerkyra (+21.2%), Santiago de Compostela (+21%), Olbia (+11.4%), Memmingerberg (+12.1%), Menorca (+11.1%), Naples (+9.2%) and Charleroi (+7%).
Freight traffic across the European airport network decreased by -3.1% in July compared to the same period last year – with EU+ airports losing -2.4% and airports in the rest of Europe -7.6%. This reflects the continued impact of the war in Ukraine and in particular disruptions to global supply chains.
Aircraft movements increased by +33.7% in July compared to the same period last year.
DATA BY GROUP
During the month of July, airports welcoming more than 25 million passengers per year (Group 1), airports welcoming between 10 and 25 million passengers (Group 2), airports welcoming between 5 and 10 million passengers (Group 3) and airports welcoming less than 5 million passengers per year (Group 4) reported an average adjustment of -17.6%, -13.8%, -3.3% and -2.2%, as compared to pre-pandemic traffic levels (2019). The airports that reported the highest increases in passenger traffic for July 2022 (when compared with July 2021) are as follows:
GROUP 1: Istanbul IST (+5%), Paris ORY (-1%), Palma de Mallorca (-2%), Athens & Lisbon (-5%) and Antalya (-8%)

INTRODUCTION Food is vital to life and well-being. It may be defined as any solid or liquid substance which when consumed provides the necessary materials or nutrients to enable the body to grow, replace worn-out and damaged parts and to function optimally. The intimate life sustaining relationship between food and man is called nutrition.
One way of ensuring that health and fitness are maintained is to have an understanding of food and its benefits and to use this knowledge to prevent common life style diseases such as diabetes. It affects 150 million people worldwide and this number is predicted to double by the year 2025. Diabetes is a preventable or controllable disorder but if allowed to go unabated and untreated can contribute to premature deaths, blindness, infections, amputations and loss of valuable human potential.
CAUSES OF DIABETES § Not confirmed. § May be hereditary and/or environmental. § Viruses or obesity may precipitate the disease.
TYPES OF DIABETES There are basically two types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
TYPE 1 Type 1 diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM): § Occurs between the ages 1-40. § Accounts for 10-20 % of all diabetic cases. § Characterized by little insulin being produced. § Rapid onset. § Requires insulin injections and carefully controlled diet. § Sometimes this form of diabetes may be difficult to treat.
TYPE 2 Type 2 diabetes or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM): § Occurs between the ages 40 and over. § Accounts for 80-90 % of most cases of diabetes worldwide. § Type 2 diabetes develops when the production of insulin is insufficient to overcome the underlying abnormality of increased resistance to its action. The early stages of type 2 diabetes are characterized by overproduction of insulin.
As the disease progresses, process insulin levels may fall as a result of partial failure of the insulin producing beta cells of the pancreas. § Chronic onset. § Requires controlled diet, exercise, or oral glucose lowering medication. SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES § Extreme thirst. § Poor concentration. § Frequent urination. § Abnormal concentrations of glucose in blood. § Wasting of body tissue, causing a marked reduction in body weight. § Weakness. § Fatigue. § Nerve damage. § Retina degeneration. § Arteriosclerosis. § Ketosis. § Retina degeneration. § Blindness. § Nerve degeneration and lack of sensation in arms, legs and other body parts. § Infections of the urinary tract; kidneys, bladder, ureter and urethra.
COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES Complications of diabetes include: § Blindness. § Kidney failure. § Foot ulceration, which may lead to gangrene and subsequent amputation. § Increased risk of infections. § Coronary heart disease and stroke. § The enormous and escalating economic and social costs of type 2 diabetes.
WORLDWIDE TRENDS AND ADVANCES IN DIABETES § The prevalence and incidence of diabetes have increased globally in both developing and developed countries transition. § Worldwide, the number of cases of diabetes is currently estimated to be around 150 million. This number is predicted to double by 2025, with the greatest number of cases being expected in China and India.
American Indian populations, renal disease is a major contributor, whereas in some developing nations, infections are an important cause of death. § In all societies where overweight and obesity are prevalent there may be an increased risk of diabetes. § Increased physical activity reduces the risk of developing diabetes.
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT & TREATMENT OF DIABETES Measures aimed at reducing overweight and obesity, and cardiovascular disease are likely to also reduce the risk of developing diabetes and its complications. Lifestyle modification is pivotal in both treatment and attempts to prevent diabetes.
§ Adopting an exchange diet lists, for example using the lists developed by the American Diabetes Association and American Dietetic Association lists food with interchangeable nutrients and kcal contents used in specific forms of diet therapy. Using the exchange lists, food categorized by type contains approximately equal amounts of kcal, carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Maintaining an optimum Body Mass Index (BMI), i.e. at the lower end of the normal range. For the adult population, this means maintaining a mean BMI in the range 21-23 kg/m2 and avoiding weight gain (>5 kg) in adult life. § Practicing an endurance activity at moderate or greater level of intensity (e.g. brisk walking) for one hour or more per day on most days per week. § Ensuring that the dietary intake of saturated fat does not exceed 10 % of total energy and for high-risk groups, fat intake should be < 7 % of total energy. § Achieving adequate intake of wholegrain cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables.
A minimum daily intake of 20 g is recommended. CONCLUSION Providing optimum nourishment in the diet for patients may prevent symptoms and delay complications of diabetes. Treatment of diabetes must be individually tailored to the patient needs and lifestyle. Diet alone or by a diet combined with insulin or glucose lowering medication cannot achieve maximum benefits. The treatment regime must include regulated exercise and regular monitoring of the blood glucose levels. It is important to reassure the diabetic patient that one can live a near-normal life if the diet is followed, medication is taken as prescribed and sufficient time is allowed for rest and exercise. Meals should be eaten at regular intervals. Additionally, adjustments should be made to shopping, cooking and eating habits.

Although it is a difficult task to watch over the health of your teenage child, it is an important time of growth and development for him or her. As your teenager moves into adulthood, his or her body goes through rapid changes, many with permanent effects. It is important to ensure that your teenager is getting the right nutritional balance each day. The best way to do this is to provide your teenager with the resources that he or she needs in order to know the consequences and benefits of dietary choices. In doing this, you can help your teenager to want to eat the right type of meals each day.
Vigorous exercise (i.e. training to an intensity of 80-90% of age-predicted maximum heart rate for at least 20 minutes, at least five times per week) has the potential to substantially enhance insulin sensitivity. § Higher consumption of saturated fatty acids has been associated with higher fasting insulin, lower insulin sensitivity and a higher risk of diabetes. § Higher consumption of unsaturated fatty acids from vegetable sources and polyunsaturated fatty acids has been associated with a reduced risk of diabetes and lower fasting and 2-hour glucose concentrations. § Higher consumption of wholegrain cereals, vegetables and fruits in the diet has been associated with a reduced risk of progression of impaired glucose tolerance.
Of course when dealing with teenagers on health or any other topic, you have to recognize the powerful influence that their peers have and will have on them. Teenagers are also prone to developing personal issues with their looks. The rapid changes in their bodies also present them with a feeling of awkwardness in their appearances.
Be aware of any behavioral signs of anorexia or bulimia. These are more and more common diseases among teenagers who suffer from issues of self-esteem. If you monitor your teenager enough to be sure that he or she is eating healthy food each day, you will not have to be as concerned with these issues.
Teenagers need a full nutritional complement every day. In addition to making sure that your teen eats a well balanced diet, including all five food groups, you should also make provision for them to receive nutrients they may not be receiving in their daily diets. Because teenagers are at an age of partial autonomy, they will make decisions on a daily basis such as whether to eat out or grab a snack at a vending machine. Educate your teenager on what nutrients are in the foods that he or she eats as well as what nutrients his or her body needs every day. Do this and you provide the proper information that your teenager needs to formulate and adapt meals to include the nutrients that will make him or her healthy. More importantly, your teenager will know how to grow a healthy body, one that he or she can be proud.
For most parents, it is only feasible on weekdays to monitor either a teenager's breakfast or supper. Provide your teenager with several nutritional options on those times that you are around. Doing so may help encourage your teenager to make healthier choices when you aren't around. Have nutritious food options around the house and set a good example for your teenager to follow. Remember that when you are not around, your teenager is more likely to do what you do than what you say to do.
Do not forget that good teen health is more than just providing the proper nutrients. A teenager must also be active and exercise the body. Encourage your teenage child to join a gym or health club if he or she is uninterested in participating in sports at school. While your teenager may decide that these are not viable options, you should still let your teenager know that you feel it would be a healthful benefit.
As your teenager gets older and gains increasing independence, he or she will make more and more choices about food and exercise. Your guidance along the way can help your teenager learn how to make these decisions thoughtfully. As your teenager becomes an adult, the lifestyle you have implanted in him or her will continually have its influence.

You may love your horse, you may care for it, and you may love to ride it but if you don't know how to properly feed it, your horse may not care for you. Nutrition is important to any animal on earth and even more important for a large and useful animal such as your horse. If your horse is to be useful to you and to your farm, whether you make it work or whether you ride it, knowing how to feed it and what it eats best is key in keeping your horse healthy. This page will give you a few tips on your horse's nutrition. One of the most important parts of a horse's digestive system is the teeth.
The teeth are the gateway to a complex digestive system and so without properly maintained teeth, the horse will not feed well and thus will not be healthy. Horses are grazing animals and when left alone will feed constantly for about 16 hours a day. This takes a toll on the horse's teeth heavier than our food does on ours. This means horse teeth must be maintained well. Also, because horses cannot vomit, ensuring that their teeth are well maintained avoids swallowing bulky pieces of food which may lead to choking. Horses love feeding on legumes such as clover, alfalfa and also on grass.
Legumes are naturally rich in calcium and phosphorous. Alfalfa, in fact, contains a lot of calcium and phosphorus and should be fed to the horse cautiously. Horses feed on grasses such as bluegrass. Horses will also feed well on hay, which is a combination of legumes and grasses, which have been dried. Try to make hay available every time so horses can nibble on it when they need to. Studying and knowing your horse's nutrition is important to the well-being and health of your horse. Come visit our website where you will find the horse supplies that fit your needs. We are available 12 hours a day on business days and we can take your order online, by mail, or by fax. Visit us at www.tacktrunks.net or call 1-908-294-3418.

Why a Wizard?
"Flabbergast, Wizard" has a Facebook page. He has been invited to fan conventions as a guest and to renaissance fairs as an entertainer. He has a YouTube channel. "Flabbergast" has his own merchandise! His name and image are now on the box of a children's magic kit for sale at various events where he appears. His car has personalized license plates that read, "FLBRGST". It's more than a costumed character portrayed by a semi-professional kid show magician, it's become a brand name, a mascot, an alias. I created this character above all other characters I represent to be my alter-ego. Why?
Is it because I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, or a Tolkien fan? Not really. I love these stories and the wizard characters in them, but it's not such a specific fandom that led me to become this character. In fact, I was dressing up as a wizard before JK Rowling published her first book, which was before Peter Jackson created the first film to present Tolkien's work respectably. My fascination with wizard imagery probably goes as far back as my interest in magic in general. I could never walk past a collection of pewter figurines in a gift shop if there were wizards among them! They're just cool! All old and wise and mysterious, and majestically powerful with flashy bursts of energy emitting from their hands, or wand, or staff, etc.
Ever since I was a very young child, I was enthralled by illusions of all kinds. Whether it was the ability of a disguise to transform someone's appearance, or the puppeteer's ability to make a cloth figure appear to come to life, I was mesmerized. Watching a magician on TV make a silver sphere seem to float in the air of its own accord, or produce a live dove from a handkerchief, made me want to learn to do such things myself. I wanted to do things that would surprise and dazzle people! I was never much of an athlete, and I lacked the patience to practice a musical instrument to the proficiency level that would really impress anyone. When I finally began to discover that the "secrets of magic" were really much simpler than they appear, that clever devices and theatricality were the forces making these miracles occur, I wasn't disappointed. I was even more attracted! So magic became a hobby for me. I asked my parents for magic kits for birthdays and Christmas. I checked out old magic books from the library and practiced sleights and card tricks that I could learn from them. Usually, my family was my only audience, but since one of the three cardinal rules of magic is not to repeat a trick for the same spectator, my family shows were always a one-shot performance. Once in a while, I'd get a chance to do a little show at school, usually for preschoolers or kindergartners.
As I came into my adolescence, word got around the neighborhood that I was an amateur magician, and I would get asked to entertain at birthday parties. This led to getting my first taxable income, when I got hired as a magician entertaining for a local franchise of a well-known fast food chain! (No, I was never Ronald McDonald. Much more recently, I actually did audition for that role, but that's a story for another time!) When I did these shows, I would usually dress in my church suit and bow tie. At the request of a birthday child's parent, I would throw a clown costume together from the closets of family members. I had no real "act", just a collection of tricks. I had yet to develop a performing style.
Like many teenage boys in the suburbs, I dreamed of being a rockstar. For Halloween, I dressed as Elton John (in his glitter rock days), or Alice Cooper, or Ace Frehley from KISS. On television, I was seeing magicians go from the Vegas lounge tuxedo look to Doug Henning's refugee-from-Godspell look, so I figured I could be a flashy rockstar magician! For a while, I performed in a long orange coat that my mom was getting ready to throw out because it was about a decade out of style. I dressed it up in ribbons and buttons and made it look like the fifth Beatle for Sergeant Pepper's LHCB. That became my magician look, but my act was still unformed. When I went off to college, magic shows became a part of my youth, for which I no longer had time. Then after graduation, my knowledge of magic tricks became lucrative again, as I found work as a magic clown. (See my previous blog for more on that chapter.)
You can probably see where this is leading. I have always wanted to perform magic shows as a character. There was a time when I wanted it to be dark and ominous, using lots of fire effects and seance gimmicks. However, the clown period of my life convinced me that comedy was more profitable. Plus, I seem to have a gift for it. I always got better reviews for my comedy roles in school and community theatre plays than the dramatic ones. So the question became, what kind of comedy magician character can I be who would make kids laugh without being embarrassingly childish? A kind-hearted, absent-minded wizard just encompassed all the things I wanted to be in a one-man show. A little mysterious, a little flashy, theatrical, but with potential for a lot of silliness. I think I've achieved that, don't you?

The Valorous Unit Award is a decoration which is awarded to units of the United States Army which display extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy of the United States of America. The Valorous Unit Award is also granted to any United States Army unit which, while serving with friendly foreign forces, engages in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.
The Valorous Unit Award was created in 1964 and is retroactive to August 3, 1963. The Valorous Unit Award is the second highest unit decoration which may be bestowed upon a U.S. Army unit and is considered the unit equivalent of the Silver Star. The decoration is comprised of a scarlet ribbon, with blue and white cross markings, enclosed within a gold frame.

Concerts are awesome, but they're not always awesome for our ears. Subwoofers vibrate our entire bodies, we scream in each others' ears to let our friends know we're going to the bathroom, and we drive around blasting music in our cars to relive the concert experience after the show is over. Our ears roar for hours after a concert has ended. After a while, the roar may not go away, and while we may not notice it, it can make it harder for us to discern other sounds around us. Hearing loss worsens over time and can be caused by trauma to the hair cells and nerve endings in the inner ear. Once those cells are damaged, there's nothing you can do about it… or is there? Hough Ear Institute is developing treatments for Tinnitus and hearing loss right here in Oklahoma City. They're also hosting an incredible show with a deaf performer and iconic sign language interpreter at Tower Theatre. Read more below!

Johnny Manchild and the Poor Bastards released a new single Aug 29 called "Fortified." Check it!
Chris Jones and The Flycatchers has released the second single from their debut album, Songs for Red, which drops later this fall. The single, "In the Throes," is a masterfully raw follow-up to "College Dropout"–a single the Oklahoma Review called "an anthem that resonates to music lovers of all ages." Jones dropped out of college at 19 to focus on his music and went to working 60+ hours a week building powerline poles, much to the disdain of those closest to him, who believed he was wasting his talent and wanted him to write his own music. His latest single tells a portion of that story. In the time left before the rest of the album is released, Jones plans to continue building his fan base across Oklahoma and Texas, playing live shows whenever possible. This album was recorded and mixed at 115 Recording in Norman by Grammy-nominated producer Wes Sharon. Sharon previously produced, recorded and mixed John Fullbright's album From The Ground Up, which was nominated for Best Americana Album at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards.
"This song came at a time when I was at a crossroads with my life. I had taken some time off work, and trying to figure out how I was going to change the direction of everything. I've always known I wanted to play music but the dream seemed to get more distant each year. One morning, I got up early, and told myself that I needed to finish something. I decided to try to finish a song I started a year before. Everything just seemed to click in that moment. I finished that song, and that just rolled into a new one. The song was written in about an hour, and became 'In The Throes.'"
On Holiday is recording a new album and will be releasing singles soon! In September, they set sail for their first tour, and they're going East. Then they're returning home for the Punk Rock Social. They also have the annual SkaBeQue that will be bigger than ever this year. On top of all that, they just welcomed a new bassist and second vocalist, who is also the frontman to Tribesmen.

Q: Fastest way to get (i,j) indices of a value in a Python matrix array? What is the fastest way to get all the (i,j) indices of the value 1 in the numpy array below?
import numpy as np

arr = [[1, 0, 1], [0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0]]
arr = np.array(arr)
arr
array([[1, 0, 1],
       [0, 0, 0],
       [0, 1, 0]])

I have tried using nested for loops for i for j but that takes O(n^2) for larger datasets. I have also tried using np.where(arr == 1) but did not get (i,j) indices:
np.where(arr == 1)
(array([0, 0, 2]), array([0, 2, 1])) # not (i,j) indices

What is a better or faster way to get the (i,j) indices?

A: The two arrays you get back are just the column/row index of each match.  You can simply zip first and second array together into tuples.
import numpy as np

arr = [[1, 0, 1], [0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0]]
arr = np.array(arr)

d = np.where(arr == 1)
tuple(zip(d[0], d[1]))

Output
((0, 0), (0, 2), (2, 1))

A: If you insist on having the indices as i-j pairs, use np.argwhere:
ij = np.argwhere(arr == 1)

ij will be an Nx2 array containing an index pair in each row. You can still use the columns as a fancy index.
Otherwise, use np.nonzero, which is what gets called when you do np.where with a single argument:
i, j = np.nonzero(arr)

If your array is strictly zero or one, you don't need == 0 in either case. Both functions look for non-zero elements.
Also, keep in mind that all these functions have a similar time complexity, which is O(N), for N being the total number of elements in the array. Whether you use a numpy function or a nested for loop, at least one pass needs to be made over the array.

A: So This is basically a simple array traversal problem and This problems will always take O(n^2) time.
So I feel it's ok to use loops here
INPUT:
arr = [[1, 0, 1], [0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0]]
arr = np.array(arr)

def method_1(arr):
    temp = []
    for i in range(len(arr)):
        for j in range(len(arr[i])):
            if arr[i][j] == 1:
                temp.append((i, j))
    return temp

def method_2(arr):
    d= np.where(arr == 1)
    temp = []
    for i, j in zip(d[0], d[1]):
        temp.append((i, j))
    return temp

start_time = time.time()
method_1(arr)
end_time = time.time()

print(end_time- start_time)

start_time = time.time()
method_2(arr)
end_time = time.time()

print(end_time- start_time)

OUTPUT:
2.00271606445e-05          #Time taken by 1st algorithm
4.50611114502e-05          #Time taken by 2nd algorithm
[(0, 0), (0, 2), (2, 1)]
[(0, 0), (0, 2), (2, 1)]

NOTE: Whenever you want to check the efficiency of an algorithm you can use time function

Between 1943 and 1945, with the help of Warner Bros.' finest, the U.S. Army produced a series of 27 propaganda cartoons depicting the calamitous adventures of Private Snafu.
Who among us does not feel the shadow of fear cast by the cowardly laws of these past years? The Scoundrel Laws terrorize not only those who might commit violence, but anyone who associates with them. They reward those who denounce their brothers and sisters, sowing distrust and ill-will. They freeze our hearts and our tongues, by punishing with prison anyone who provokes, praises, or merely seeks to understand those mad acts to which an insane society has driven a few poor souls.
Perhaps even these words, here, are enough to summon our new inquisitors.
If so, I say, let them come. I know their jail cells; their guards are my comrades and friends. Scoundrel laws, like the scoundrels who created them, must one day lose their power. It is a law of justice and nature.
A few years later, most of this rabble had lost whatever convictions drove their violence. Even deluded demagogues renounced their youthful dreams. We need no further evidence than a pamphlet from the printing offices of confusion.
Who among us does not feel the shadow of fear cast by the cowardly laws of these past years? The Scoundrel Laws terrorize not only those who might commit violence, but anyone who associates with them.

What is the soul of a tree? The question is subjective, the answer in the eye of the beholder. From the tree's perspective, it might be the sum of the seasons of its life. The droughts suffered, the sunshine savored. But the tree cannot bear witness to its own greatness. It cannot see its own deep roots, or the influence of its own spreading branches. It is up to the observer to give meaning to the tree's existence.
Like a tree, Bryan Nash Gill was an artist defined by the sum of his seasons. From his upbringing, through his efforts to define himself as an artist, to his life as a husband, father, friend, he could not bear witness to his own greatness. He could not see how deep his roots went, or comprehend his own spreading influence. It is up to us, the observers, to find meaning in Bryan's life, through his art, and through our shared experiences with him.
Bryan's art captured the very essence of a tree; the uniqueness it brought into the world. His prints reveal the happy springs, the hard winters, the constancy of change. And through his art, we can start to give meaning to Bryan's experiences. His art can help us begin to capture his essence and define the uniqueness he brought into this world.
Imagine a young boy standing alone in the woods. What are trees to a boy? Opportunities. A chance for fun, exploration, excitement. Bryan grew up in the woods, and the trees left their mark on him - a relief print on his soul that would later manifest itself in his art. Growing up in the woods requires a boy to be resourceful, inquisitive, resilient. These qualities would guide Bryan's process, as the creation of his art became more like a walk in the woods for him: the journey was more important than the destination. He lived in the creative moment, controlling his medium, molding, shaping it as he saw fit that instant, letting his experiences guide him organically. He never worried about where the road led him, but was forever excited about the process of discovery, and where he was right then.
Bryan was more beautiful and complex on the inside than what was visible on the outside, and his art is a window into the seasons of his life. To comprehend Bryan's art is to get inside of him, look, and see the very soul of a man. But to know him, was to live, love, laugh, and revel in the journey.
