If you were to walk by some wildflowers in a field, you'd be looking down at these flowers growing out of the ground. That's why, if you shoot flowers from standing position, looking down at them like we always do, your flower shots will look very average. If you want to create flower shot with some serious visual interest, you have to shoot them from an angle we don't see every day. Getting down and shooting them from their level.
Do we need Macro Lens?
it's easy to put the backgrund out of focus with a zoom lens.
Start by shooting in aperture priority mode (set your mode dial to A), then use the smallest aperture number your lens will allow. Then try to isolate one flower. When you do this, it puts the background out of focus, which keeps the background from distracting the eye and makes a stronger visual composition.
On cloudy, overcast days: The shadows are soft, and the rich colors of the flowers aren't washed out by the harsh direct rays of the sun.
Just after the rain. This is a magical time to shoot flowers. Shoot while the sky is still overcast and the raindrops are still on petals.
If you shoot on sunny days, try to shoot in the morning or evening. To make the most of this light, shoot with a long zoom and position yourself so the flowers are backlit, and all you'll get some spectaular back lighting.
Instead of waiting for a rainy day to shoot, take a little spray bottle with you, fill it with water, and spray the flowers with water yourself.

With the official start of summer nearly here, all we can think about is going on vacation. Naturally, our dream vacations include anything Disney, and if you feel the same way, the Secrets to a Dream Cruise Vacation Sweepstakes is definitely for you.
One grand prize winner will receive a four-night Disney Cruise Line vacation for four aboard the newly enhanced Disney Dream. Amazing, right? If you're the winner, you're obviously going to need to vacation in style. So, we put together these cruise perfect outfits for you to sail away into the sunset in.
One of the most beautiful parts of a cruise is when you're leaving port, sailing off into the sunset. The perfect outfit for lounging on a deck chair at the end of the day is a comfy tropical jumpsuit (ASOS). We love these vintage-styled sunglasses, especially when paired with a floppy hat (Forever21). Espadrilles are a must for a cruise since they have more personality than flip-flops but are still comfy and low key.
If you're into fashion, then the best part of being on a cruise is getting to dress up for dinner every night of the week. When else do you get to wear that cocktail dress you just had to have and those cute shoes that are usually just sitting in the closet? We've been waiting to get our hands on this satin striped dress from ASOS forever–it's got a simple silhouette but is still dressy enough for dinner. We decided to have some fun with it with these Kate Spade earrings and flamingo purse. It is a Disney cruise, so you might as well be whimsical. The finishing touch is a pair of pink pumps that contrast the bold stripes of the dress (ALDO).
Pool time is a necessity on any vacation, and with a Donald-themed pool, you can't miss out hanging out on the deck of the Disney Dream. We tend to keep things simple with our swimwear, which is why we love this striped one from Target. A simple cover-up, like this one from Topshop, is perfect for going from laying out by the pool to grabbing ice cream. Black sandals from Wet Seal and sunglasses from H&M complete this look.

The Lost Generation by David Tremayne
The Lost Generation.
F1 journalist David Tremayne's poignant 2006 book details the lives of three British Formula One drivers from the 1970s.
Due to the sport's horrendous safety standards at the time, as well as one piece of terrible luck, all three didn't see out the decade.
The Lost Generation: The Brilliant but Tragic Lives of Rising British F1 Stars Roger Williamson, Tony Brise, and Tom Pryce
To ensure their legacy remained intact, Tremayne set out to document their lives with this excellent biography. Three young British men are studied:
Roger Williamson
Tony Brise
Tom Pryce
In what was a tragic and tumultuous decade for the sport, where the death of drivers was commonplace, the death of all three meant Britain suffered a lost generation of talent.
This is where Tremayne's investigative journalism skills dig deep to turn three men no longer with us into something more than statistics in history books.
Naturally, interest in Formula One or motorsport will pique your attention in this book. But if these aren't your type of thing, there's still no reason why you wouldn't enjoy this.
It's an account of three talented young men who, sadly, got cut down in the prime of life.
For some reason, Tremayne left out Williams driving ace Piers Courage. The 28-year-old from Essex died in a horrendous fireball crash at Zandvoort in June 1970.
We couldn't find an explanation for this, unfortunately, so we'll take a look at the three men focussed on in this book.
Roger Williamson was 25 in July of 1973, a working-class lad from Leicestershire who'd used only his talent to get to Formula One.
In his first race at Silverstone for the March Racing Team, he was wiped out in a pile-up triggered by South African Jody Schekter.
At the next race at Zandvoort, a puncture pitched his car into a barrier, catapulting him upside down and hurtling him along the circuit.
Unfortunately, some drivers who hadn't seen the crash believed peer David Purley was the car's former occupant.
But the real problem was the shameful lack of reaction from marshals and safety services, which was simply down to an appalling lack of organisation or foresight.
The result was Williamson died of asphyxiation, whilst images of Purley's desperate attempt to save his friend went on to claim prestigious photography awards.
It's one of the sport's most shameful incidents. The BBC was even showcasing the race live on TV (which was quite rare in the early '70s before the sport took off big time), so many families on a Sunday afternoon were left to watch the tragic images.
Tremayne here details Williamson, who for a long time was an unknown driver in only his second race – we get to see what made him tick, how he came to be in F1, and what could have transpired.
Fresh-faced and boyish, Tony Brise was taken on by former World Champion Graham Hill after a brief spell with Frank Williams Racing Cars.
Hill snapped up 23-year-old Brise for his Embassy Racing chassis, with Brise completing 10 races for the outfit. This included one points finish, suggesting the partnership would go on to greater things.
Along with Hill and several other mechanics, Brise was killed in a plane crash in late 1975.
Graham Hill was piloting after the team's test in France, but made an error in foggy conditions.
In an instant, Britain lost one of its legends, and the upcoming driver who was expected to go on and achieve great things.
Pryce was a World Champion in waiting, the belief in the F1 paddock remained until early 1977.
Unfortunately, he's consigned to F1 history as the driver involved in the sport's most horrifying fatal accident.
Search for his name online and you'll come across brutally graphic images of his car hitting marshal Jansen van Vuuren at 200mph. There's even a notorious video of the incident millions of people have now seen.
But there was much more to the 27-year-old than that. Alongside his good looks, there was one hell of an excellent racing driver.
Unfortunately, he didn't get any race winning machinery in his brief career.
On his final race weekend, he was actually fastest in damp conditions by many seconds, indicating the extent of his talent.
It was his sudden passing that epitomised much of F1 in the 1970s, a tragic sport of regular fatality.
Whilst this does make The Lost Generation a poignant read, it's never depressing.
Tremayne explains to the world who Williamson, Brise, and Pryce were, which stands as a fitting legacy for three men who were snatched away from the world as their shot at greatness beckoned.

Red Metal says:
Formula One is probably the most intense sport out there. If a fatality occurred in any other sport, that would be grounds to cancel the match, but not here. As you say, a lot of these tragedies could be attributed to subpar safety standards. That horrific disaster in Le Mans in 1955 that killed 83 spectators is said to have been the result of the tracks not having been updated to handle cars going that fast.
F1's big problem in the '70s was cars suddenly going twice as fast than in the '60s and '50s, but with zero safety advances to accommodate for that. The results were often horrific.
The Le Mans incident led to Switzerland banning motorsport for decades afterwards. Thankfully, things have moved on a great deal.

Cirneco dell'etna är en hundras från Sicilien i Italien. Den är en pariahund av vinthundstyp, liknande faraohunden från Malta och podenco ibicenco från Balearerna.

Historia
Nämnda raser påminner starkt om tesem som finns avbildade på reliefer från forntidens Egypten och det brukar hävdas att de sannolikt spreds runt Medelhavet av fenicierna. Från 400-talet till 100-talet fvt, d.v.s. från feniciskt, grekiskt, karthagiskt och romerskt styre, har man funnit mynt på Sicilien med hundbilder präglade. Dessa avbildningar har tolkats som föregångare till cirnecon.

Cirneco är grekiska för siciliansk. Mellan antiken och 1900-talets början finns ingen dokumentation av cirnecon.

I början av 1900-talet uppmärksammades hundtypen av friherrinnan Agata Paterno Castello. Hon samlade in cirnechi och påbörjade organiserad avel. 1939 erkändes rasen av den italienska kennelklubben Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana (ENCI) och den första rasstandarden upprättades. Det var då namnet utökades med dell'Etna, efter vulkanen. Legenden säger att cirnechi i stora antal vaktade templet till den romerske guden Adranos' ära i staden Adrano vid Etnas fot.

Cirnecon är fortfarande en numerärt mycket liten ras; 1991 fanns det cirka 170–180 hundar i hela världen.

Egenskaper
Cirnecons traditionella uppgift har varit att jaga kaniner och harar. Den jagar under tystnad, och som andra pariahundar använder den sig av såväl synen som hörseln och luktsinnet. Jakten kan sluta med att den gräver sig ner i kaninhålan. Den är främst byggd för uthållighet i risig och klippig terräng. Den kan arbeta i timmar utan mat eller vatten.

Den är en aktiv och lättlärd hund som behöver regelbunden motion och stimulans. Cirnecons traditionella jaktstil simuleras i hundsporten lure coursing.

Utseende
Cirnecon är en medelstor hund med långa linjer. Den har kvadratisk kropp med elegant hållning. Den har lång hals och långsträckt huvud med upprätstående öron. Pälsen är kort, tät, hård och nästan glänsande.

Beijing supports declaration of formal end to Korean War; Xi to visit Seoul once pandemic calms: Yang Updated: 2021-12-03 19:57:41 KST
A top Chinese Communist Party diplomat says Beijing supports a formal declaration to end the 1950 to 53 Korean War and that such a move would enhance peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
Yang Jiechi, a member of the politburo of the Chinese Communist Party's Central Committee, was speaking on Friday during talks with Suh Hoon, South Korea's national security adviser.
According to the South Korean embassy in China, Yang said Beijing will continue to support Seoul's efforts to improve inter-Korean ties.

Home Gaming Overboard! review – Murder she boat
Overboard! review – Murder she boat
By Noelle Adams
Board game fans know the value of having one short, casual title in their collection – something that everyone can jump into for a quick 15- to 30-minute session between longer games. Overboard!, from British developers inkle, is the video game equivalent of the best of these filler experiences: easy to play, engrossing, and addictively replayable.
It doesn't hurt that this bite-size "next-gen visual novel" – arguably the most accessible effort yet from the makers of 80 Days and Heaven's Vault – has an irresistibly clever premise. Overboard! takes the Agatha Christie-era whodunnit and flips it on its head. Instead of solving a murder, you're the killer, and you're trying to get away with your crime, which means dodging frustratingly astute Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple types.
More specifically, in Overboard! you play as socialite and starlet Veronica Villensey. The year is 1935 and Veronica and her disgraced husband are sailing to America for a fresh start. To ensure an optimal new beginning for herself, Veronica sends hubby Malcolm overboard on their final night at sea. Waking the next morning, she has eight in-game hours to squash suspicion from passengers and crew before the SS Hook docks in New York City.
How you attempt to get away scot-free, is entirely up to you. Overboard! is at its core a puzzle game, and strategies available to the player include charm, blackmail, bargaining, seduction, gaslighting, framing, or even adding to your murder tally in the case of inconvenient witnesses. If you want to spend the entire eight hours sitting smug and happily single in your cabin, you can do that too – although, spoiler, simply hiding won't help your case. Sooner or later you'll be hauled in to face accusations.
It's debatable how replayable Overboard! is once you achieve the optimal outcome: escaping a prison sentence and claiming the insurance pay-out on Malcolm's life. That said, getting away with the perfect crime is far from easy. The SS Hook is a small vessel, and keeping your story straight when everyone is snooping around can be extremely challenging. Then again, every character has a secret, and, if uncovered, those secrets can be exploited to your benefit.
Players must be selective with their actions during Overboard!'s eight-hour countdown. Every activity and movement around the ship is factored into the time frame. You simply can't do everything in a single playthrough, which averages around 20 to 30 minutes in reality. That said, Overboard! encourages replayability. If you're caught, a new game loads with a list of previous discoveries to optionally explore (e.g. how do I get the captain's pass card?), and the delightfully mercenary Veronica gives fourth wall-breaking commentary as if she's stuck in a Depression Era Groundhog Day.
On that note, Overboard! is text driven like other inkle games, but feels considerably more compact and digestible. No intimidating walls of text or tedious conversations here. The writing is sharp, and should please fans of Knives Out with its dark, irreverent sense of humour, and colourful cast. Sweetening Overboard!'s appeal further, the dialogue is paired with an art style reminiscent of travel posters from the game's period setting.
Overboard! gives players a surprising amount of choice, and you'll find the game becomes more entertaining the more you vary your villainous plot each time. Mixing things up like one of Lady H's many, many cocktails, the NPCs all follow their own schedule, moving around in real time. For example, should you linger in your cabin and arrive late for breakfast, the restaurant will be largely empty, resulting in fewer prying eyes. For the record, Overboard! comes with 26 unlockable Steam achievements, including one for seven murders committed in a single playthrough.
Given its simplicity, and the fact it was developed in just a few months, it's surprising just how good Overboard! is. A couple of disjointed transitions aside, the game is exhilarating, frequently funny, and addictive thanks to its all-round style (text and visual), and insistence that players embrace deliciously, strategic wickedness.
Overboard! is out now for PC, Nintendo Switch, and iOS 13 and up. On PC, it enjoys full controller support in addition to mouse and keyboard.
Overboard!
With a wicked sense of humour, loads of visual flair, and a surprising amount of cerebral satisfaction packed into its deceit-filled race against the clock, Overboard! is a delight. It's one to keep within arm's reach when you're in the mood for short bursts of frantic, but low-effort, fun.

1 Jul, 8:30pm, €15 / €12 The Dock, Carrick-on-Shannon
Full Tour Listings
Aoife Doyle's unique, expressive voice is equally at home with jazz, folk, country, bluegrass or blues, and her singing evokes memories of the sophisticated, velvet tones of Ella Fitzgerald, the earthy, sweet lyricism of Patsy Cline or the straight‐up country clarity of Alison Krauss. Backed by Johnny Taylor's subtle piano, Andrew Csibi's inventive bass and Dominic Mullan's sensitive percussion, the band has won critical acclaim for putting their own unique stamp on the songs.
For these concerts, they will perform a diverse range of songs by Bob Dylan, Hank Cochran and The Band, jazz standards by Cole Porter and Harold Arlen, as well as songs arranged by the band.

Henry Hudson
High School / History / Exploration
smcclendon49
The Dutch East India Company gave Hudson an 80 ton ship called the half moon. And a crew of 20 sailors for his third attempt to find the northeast passage. In early April, 1609, Hudson headed north as expected. But once he hit the cold waters, he came up with a new plan. He would seek the northwest passage instead. He set the half moons course west instead of north. And headed to the new world and a more favorable climate. This one change of direction would make history. Hudson used several navigational methods in his quest for the northwest passage. He used maps and charts to tell him where he was and how to get to his destination. And he used longitude and latitude to map his route. Longitude runs north to south. And latitude runs east to west. These imaginary intersecting lines describe the position of any point on earth. The equator at latitude 0° divides earth into northern and southern hemispheres. The prime meridian at longitude 0° divides earth into eastern and western hemispheres. Both Asia and North America are located in the northern hemisphere. Hudson hoped to find a route to Asia along the northern coast of North America. Hudson said his course for latitude 40° north and headed for the new world. Hudson explored the northeastern coast of America. He stopped in Maine and sailed south along the coast. About 100 miles past the Chesapeake Bay. Eventually, he turned north and sailed into the mouth of a wide river in what is now New York State. This river would eventually bear his name. The Hudson River. The crew was quite excited when they first entered the river. They thought they had finally found the northwest passage. But after a 150 miles, they could travel no further. The water had become too shallow to continue. For the third time, the half moon had to turn around and head home. The river was not named after Hudson because he was the first to discover it. It was named after him because he was the first to navigate the river and leave a detailed account of his voyage. His records helped to make a more complete map of the northeastern coast, including the region known today as Albany, New York.

PWM controllers are the most used in standalone photovoltaic installations. They improve the recharging of the batteries. To complete the full recharge, they separate the current provided by the panels and sends it to the batteries in the form of pulses. These pulses are modulated (+ or - long, + or - frequent) by the precise reading of the regulator at the terminals of the battery. This allows him to know his level of charge.
NEW! 10A charge controller with LCD display. New generation of controller for small autonomous installations.


Good to see huge crowd coming to hear our politicians. Lalu has show his popularity to present government and it is good for Bihar's Janta. We are happy with the wrok done so far by JDU-BJP government. But this strenght show of Lalujee will keep them on toe and I am sure due to peer pressure they will do good job.
I read various news links about this railly and found that he was giving more stress on Narendra Modi (we counter him with Gujrat riots only and not with his work. Although local gujrati's are happy with development work done by Modi), BJP, Dalits, Mushlims, Kayasths, Brahmarshis, Yadavs etc..
Was this rally to increase few more counts in the caste support list? At one hand we see Lalujee for bringing railway in profit and talking great but when it comes to Bihar he lands up dealing caste based politics openly. I am sure IIM-Ahmadabad will honor him again for his open caste based claims.
Hopefully present JDU-BJP government will not carried away and start working on caste based angles rather than development angle.

How to ping a cell phone without permission?
in GPS Track
How to ping a cell phone without their knowledge?
Default phone mechanism
Track phone number details
Can I ping a phone that's turned off?
Is it legal to ping a cell phone?
Can a private investigator ping the phone?
Can police track my phone without data connection?
In current speech and cellphone slang terms, to 'ping' a phone is to send a simple packet to network interface and then get a reverberation answer. It's actually a digital version of what bats and dolphins do as a component of echolocation.In the event that you want to find out a person's or specific phone's exact location, that can likewise be named pinging. Most of us wish to keep connected with a friend or family, while police stations abd decetive agencies use legitimate software to ping a cell phone and track down culprits and suspects. Let's explore how to ping a cell phone without permission.
Pinging a cell phone traditionally means locating the phone by identifying the cell tower of the last signal the phone received. But with advanced technology, it's not the only way to ping a lost phone. We discuss several ways to ping a Android or iOS phone to find out the device location.
The most hassle-free way to search for a lost device or to track the location of your loved ones is to ping the phone using GPS tracking software. Google Maps is one of the most reliable and popular GPS tracking apps for pinging Android and iOS devices. It allows you to utilize this technology to manage sharing options and track the location of a mobile.
Once you've gained access to target device, launch the Google Maps app. Tap on Settings then click 'Share Location' from the menu. An information box appears with the words 'let friends know where you are'. Tap the blue "Get started" button then a new dialog box pops up saying 'share your real time location'. You can select either 'for 1 hour' or 'until you turn this off'.
To access the location of phone number, tap on three vertical dots to bring up the apps by which you can receive the data. That way, the mobile phone you want to ping will send you the geographic location. You also can tap 'select people' to type in your email address and have the information pinged back to you that way.
Life360 is another reliable GPS tracking apps that enables you to ping the phone to find the location. This app comes with a lot of cool features. Along with finding your lost device, you also can find the location of your family members.
These GPS tracking software are helpful in finding the live location of any mobile device but they will not work if GPS is not enabled on your lost devices or if fake GPS tracking app is installed on the phone.
Alternatively, you can resort to the phone's default system to ping the phone to determine the device's location. By deafult, each Android device comes with inbuilt feature called 'Find my device' while iPhone provides 'Find my iPhone' feature that lets you track the location of your phone. Steps to ping a cell phone using Find My Device:
Visit android.com/find
Sign into your Google account through Gmail details
See the live location of the lost device on the map
Remotely play a sound, lock the device or erase the data
Tracing the phone number details also helps you find the location of a SIM number or the device. A lot of apps bring universal caller ID services to smartphones, which help keep track of the phone number.
CallApp, True Caller, Shock Caller are some popular phone number tracking apps that let you check SIM card owner name, registered place and many other details. It's more helpful in finding fraud caller, unknown caller location details.
No, once your device is turned off, it's technically impossible to ping a cell phone as its signals stop interacting with nearby GPS towers. As a result, it stops sending the location. In such a case, only the place where they were last active can be searched.
There are federal laws that apply to cell phone pings. It's pretty clear that it is against the law to ping a cell phone without permission. The exception is a criminal investigation or emergency 911 call.
If you are the parent of underage kids, you have the right to ping their smartphones and ensure their safety. Before installing any tracking apps or using any technique discussed in the article, it's best to inform your child that you will track them for safety purpose. But if you want to know the whereabouts of an adult, you should get his prior consent.
According to the federal law, private investigators are prohibited from pinging a cell phone without the consent of at least one person, depending on the state.
The answer to this question is – yes, you can. Both Android and iOS devices can be tracked without a data connection. A variety of mapping apps that have the ability to track the location of your phone even without an internet access.
The above-mentioned methods are good to ping a cell phone to find the location and also are legal. You can share real-time location through Google Maps, trace phone number details or resort to default phone mechanism. You'll be able to stay connected with your family members or retrieve the lost device. Just try out to see how they work.

Entrance to the festival.
Every September (on the last Sunday of the month), a festival takes place in Toronto devoted to the printed word. In previous years, the "The Word On The Street" festival took place on Queen Street West. But although they closed down the whole street from Spadina Avenue to Duncan Street, that venue became too crowded. And so, in 2004, they moved the festival to Queen's Park. The Streets closed were both sides of Queen's Park Crescent north of Wellesley Street, up to Queen's Park and Charles Street.
(Since then, I believe they've moved to a different location.)
Booths in the park.
The 2004 festival was better than ever, and was definitely improved by the new setting. Although Queen Street West has that artistic cachet, the park certainly enhanced the atmosphere of the festival.

The food vendors were busy.


Sure, there is a lot of cache to owning a Rolls-Royce, but there is even more clout in being the very first to own a new model. That's why it's kind of a big deal that the 2016 Naples Winter Wine Festival will be boasting the very first global delivery of the Rolls-Royce Dawn in their auction offerings. Rolls-Royce made this happen to benefit Naples Children & Education Foundation, the festival's founding organization. The event takes place January 29th – 31st at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Florida.
The new Dawn is considered one of the sexiest Rolls-Royce's ever made. It's a 563 hp, drop-head four-seater that is on the sportier side of the manufacture's line-up, taking its styling cues from chic teak water crafts .
The Dawn that is up for sale in this auction has been specially commissioned and will come in a cool Arctic White with a Deep Red roof and Consort Red leather upholstery. The interior cabin boasts oceans of Santos Palisander Canadel Paneling, which is made from handcrafted open pore Indian rosewood. Additionally, this model will come with one-of-a-kind bespoke tread plates which commemorate the vehicle's premier delivery status.
"I couldn't think of a more fitting way to celebrate the first new Rolls-Royce Dawn for North America than through this auction," said Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO, Torsten Müller Ӧtvӧs. "Dawn is the sexiest and most social Rolls-Royce we've ever designed and the NWWF epitomizes the social life of our owners. We are proud to make the introduction at this event and help benefit the organization's charity." The bidding will state at $335,000 – a bargain considering a $400,000 valuation.
This car is guaranteed to be the first delivery in North America, and will be built in February 2016 at Goodwood, the home of Rolls-Royce in the South of England. Upon rolling out of the home of Rolls-Royce, the car will be flown to location – quite likely to be right here in Florida. Fortunately the new owner won't have to wait long as this Dawn is scheduled for delivery in April 2016.

books | My journey on becoming full-time designer.
Day 16: My new interior design and diy corner of knowledge! 76 days to go!
So here it is, another addition to my white collection of furniture and white painted room. I have run out of space in my main two bookcases, so i thought I will keep my new bookcase just for my collection of interior design and diy knowledge. I have to go through and tidy it up properly, but I want to keep anything here from my inspiration scrapbooks, interiors design magazines (Elle Decoration and World of Interiors mainly), leaflets, brochures, books, list of stockists, wallpapers, paint samples etc. For the moment I put in also Domino Toolboxes for storing beads, buttons, sewing and modelmaking from Toolstation. For £5.40 each I think they are perfect for storage. The room starts to finally look more spacious and more organized with everything more on hand.
I am planning to do a post on bookcases, so feel free to take photographs of yours and send it to katerina.t.designer@gmail.com and you never know it may feature as a great example.

Letters have been sent out to 740 property owners in Swift County who own approximately 1,100 parcels of land that will have to comply with Minnesota's new buffer law.
"The hardest thing at this point is just making sure the landowners are aware of the law, and at that point, trying to get them into the system and explain to them what their options might be for getting compensated," Swift County SWCD Conservation Technician Andy Albertsen said Monday.
While he is still identifying which properties will need the 50-foot buffers and which ones will need the 16.5 buffer strip, Albertsen says they seem to be split about 50 percent each.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) released updated maps on the state's public waters and public ditches July 12 and turned them over to the county Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs). Those maps identify where perennial vegetative buffers of either 16.5 feet or 50 feet will be required along rivers, streams, and ditches to help filter out phosphorus, nitrogen, and other farm chemicals, as well as sediment.
In late July, the Swift County's SWCD conducted a meeting to inform landowners about the state buffer initiative and its requirements. The over 70 people who attended the meeting were able to view the DNR maps to see if they had public waters or public ditches on their property.
Also at the meeting were representatives of the SWCD, DNR, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, West Central Area Certification Specialist, and Rinke-Noonan Law Office, to advise landowners on the options for complying with the law.
Nov 1, 2017: 50-foot average width, 30-foot minimum width, buffers must be in place on lands adjacent to public waters and identified and mapped on the buffer map.
Nov. 1, 2018: 16.5-foot minimum width buffers must be in place on lands adjacent to public ditches as identified and mapped on the buffer map.

Top Ten Local Release of 2009 - Steve Wildsmith, Maryville Daily Times
"It's disarming, beguiling, sometimes hypnotic…."
-Jack Neely, Metropulse
"I have no idea what to call the Lonetones. They're acoustic musicians who don't always play acoustic. They're folk musicians with a love of modern psychedelia. Whatever they are, they're great. "Canaries," the group's third album, stretches the Lonetones' borders a little more. Married couple Steph Gunnoe and Sean McCullough anchor the group with their consistently fine songs and vocals. Stand-out numbers include Gunnoe's beautiful and delicate "Gone Again" and McCullough's "Blue Vinyl" - a song that is so lyrically minimalist that it has no right to be so lovable. Bassist Maria Williams, drummer Steve Corrigan and accordionist/pianist Lissa McLeod help flesh good songs out into something purely beautiful."
-Wayne Bledsoe, Knoxville News Sentinel
"'I think there's something really pleasing about dissonance,' Gunnoe told The Daily Times this week. 'I think we're really melodically driven musicians, but it's so pleasing to somehow wed something really melodic with a more complex dissonance or background….' That dissonance may seem out-of-place on an initial listen to "Canaries," but repeated plays find McCollough and Gunnoe at a creative peak. The sound effects are understated -- sly and soft, contributing to a song's mood or melody in almost indefinable ways. The layers are arranged in gorgeous stacks, like the shimmering icing of a wedding cake -- intricate, detailed and personable. Gunnoe's girlish voice is another instrument in the mix, and as it swirls and bobs on a sea of lush instrumentation, there's a dreamlike quality to 'Canaries' that's fascinating and endearing."
-Steve Wildsmith, Maryville Daily Times
"'Sean and I are always taking issue with people putting Appalachian music in a box. We want it to be something that's living and breathing,' said Gunnoe"
-from "New Appalachia: The Lonetones - Band looks to bring mountain music into the modern day," Wayne Bledsoe, Knoxville News Sentinel
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I've starred in a million dreams
Oscar winning only made me mean
How it hurts to be eclipsed
We're all stars in our apocalypse.
(from "Trickle Down")
To some, the Lonetones new album, Canaries, has the feel of a soundtrack. Perhaps it's the lush musical production with layers of contrasting colors. Or maybe it's the lyrical themes – songs for a "new Appalachia." It's not a soundtrack (at least not yet), but if it were, perhaps it would be best described as a soundtrack for life in modern Appalachia – an ode to a post-Oh-Brother-Where-Art-Thou era. The album, and the band's music in general, speaks to the conflicted nature of a region steeped in tradition while blighted by Walmarts and stripmines. It speaks to generational conflicts and the inner struggles of those whose hearts and souls are tied to the mountains but also want to be set free.
But the album is not simply a lament. Rather, it is a hope that the old and the new can work together as symbiotic partners. In the song "West Virginia Soundtrack" Gunnoe offers her assistance in this task: "I'll be your midwife dark and alone, I'll help you bear what's never been born." And in "Here In The South," she promises to this end that "here in the south, ain't gonna shut my mouth."
The production of the album also reflects the conflicted nature of modern Appalachia (and contemporary "Appalachian" music). The band still has the partial look of an old-time string band with acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin and upright bass. But even these instruments aren't always played in a traditional manner and the addition of drums, accordion, keys and vibes takes the music in new directions.
In a recent Knoxville News Sentinel interview, Gunnoe stated that "people expect you to be an old-time band when you have these instruments. Sean and I are always taking issue with people putting Appalachian music in a box. We want it to be something that's living and breathing." To this end, on Canaries, they also mix together electronic and found sounds (dissonance at times) with acoustic instruments.
Steve Wildsmith of the Maryville Daily Times describes it this way: "That dissonance may seem out-of-place on an initial listen to 'Canaries,' but repeated plays find McCollough and Gunnoe at a creative peak. The sound effects are understated -- sly and soft, contributing to a song's mood or melody in almost indefinable ways. The layers are arranged in gorgeous stacks, like the shimmering icing of a wedding cake -- intricate, detailed and personable. "
But amidst all of that, Gunnoe's voice remains at the center of the band's sound – of the mountains, but not satisfied to be just that. Jack Neely of Metro Pulse says of her voice that "its overt innocence sometimes seems to conceal some deeper melancholy beneath the surface, a singing through trauma."
Gunnoe and McCollough still work closely together with the band to create the unique arrangements that they have become known for, searching for just the right instruments to compliment each song. Maria Williams still provides a strong backbone with her upright bass and harmony singing. And Steve Corrigan on drums and Lissa McLeod on accordion and keys provide fresh voices to round out the lush sound of band.
I went to the CD release party for this CD as I live in Knoxville,Tn Where the Lonetones live and are based I have seen them 3 times now and enjoy them more each time. I have also met Sean,Steph,Maria,&Steve and they are nice people. As I not a writer reviewer I don't know what I can say but I really like this music I have all 3 of their CD's and would recommend them all. Tim

Храмы Пскова составляют часть архитектурного наследия города. Наиболее известные из них — это древние церкви, побеленные, одноглавые, с характерными звонницами (иногда отдельно стоящими, иногда построенными на скате храма) и крыльцами. Эти черты резко отличают их от других памятников русской архитектуры того времени, что дает возможность говорить о псковском архитектурном стиле. В городе есть церкви XII—XV веков — в большей части России все здания этого времени были разрушены монголами и междоусобными войнами. Многие церкви Пскова относились к ныне разрушенным или упраздненным монастырям.

7 июля 2019 года на 43-й сессии Комитета всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО принято решение о включении 10 объектов, относящихся к церковной архитектурной школе, в Список объектов всемирного наследия: собор Иоанна Предтечи Ивановского монастыря, ансамбль Спасо-Мирожского монастыря: Преображенский собор, ансамбль Снетогорского монастыря: собор Рождества Богородицы, церковь Михаила Архангела с колокольней, церковь Покрова от Пролома, церковь Косьмы и Дамиана с Примостья с остатками колокольни, воротами и оградой, церковь Георгия со Взвоза, Церковь Богоявления со звонницей, церковь Николы с Усохи и церковь Василия на Горке.

В статье приведён список соборов и церквей Пскова, большинство из которых являются памятниками истории и архитектуры, содержат памятники монументальной живописи и иконописи.

His career started at Chesterfield in 1958, where he stayed for a season and played 23 goals before moving on to Leicester City.
This is where he stayed for eight years, accumulating 293 appearances. A year after winning the World Cup, in 1967, Banks secured a move to his hometown Stoke City where he played 194 games.
Loan moves to Cleveland Stokers and Hellenic were followed by a one-year stint in the US with Fort Lauderdale Strikers, and his final competitive appearance came in Ireland in 1977 when he played one game for St Patrick's Athletic on loan.


You can prepare this mix up to 2 hours ahead of time, keeping the meat separate from the other ingredients.
Soak the burghul for 5 minutes in just enough cold water to cover it. Drain it well through a sieve, then tip it into a tea towel and squeeze out as much water as you can. Tip into a mixing bowl.
Put the onion, chilli and fresh herbs through a mincer – it will come through like a green slush. Add to the burghul. Stir in the salt, a few grinds of pepper and the chilli powder.
Roughly chop the meat, then put it through a mincer twice.
When you're ready to eat, add the meat to the burghul mixture with the ice cubes. Mix well with your hands. As the ice dissolves, it will bind everything together into a smooth, sticky paste. Tip onto a plate and spread into a smooth, shallow layer reaching right up to the rim. Use the back of a soup spoon or a knife to decorate the surface and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve with extra oil, Arabic bread, fresh onions and mint leaves. It is delicious with a big blob of labneh, although many Lebanese would throw up their hands in horror at this unorthadox accompaniment.

Cybersecurity isn't just a big business problem. While huge corporations like T-Mobile and Microsoft have made headlines with recent data breaches, smaller companies have also found themselves increasingly at risk. A recent report from the cybersecurity firm Sontiq found that in 2021, the data breaches posing the greatest risk to consumers were those launched against small businesses. Meanwhile, the breaches themselves are getting more costly. In fact, a 2020 analysis by Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that cybercrime will cost businesses $10.5 trillion globally by 2025—a huge increase from just $3 trillion in 2015. With the…

Business owners are a special breed. At some point, they decided that working for themselves (despite all the perils that come with this occupational choice) is a better path to their version of success than working for someone else. In the beginning, passion and lofty goals can be a real elixir for the journey ahead. And, although the finish line can seem a long way off, the usual sign of victory is some sort of financial freedom. The assumption is that building a business will free you from all the financial…


New York, 1971. There's a party on the stage of the Weismann Theatre. Tomorrow the iconic building will be demolished. Thirty years after their final performance, the Follies girls gather to have a few drinks, sing a few songs, and lie about themselves.
Including such classic songs as 'Broadway Baby', 'I'm Still Here' and 'Losing My Mind', James Goldman and Stephen Sondheim's legendary musical was originally staged in New York in 1971, and received its British premiere in 1987.
This edition was published alongside the major revival at the National Theatre, London, in 2017, directed by Dominic Cooke and starring Tracie Bennett, Janie Dee, Philip Quast and Imelda Staunton.
It features an exclusive introduction by David Benedict, former chief London critic for Variety, and Sondheim's authorised biographer.

Genes and Language Match Well
This post will look into whether or not genes and language line up well. The question may seem academic, but it is important for linguists in the battle for whether or not there is anything to the large macro-families that the "lumpers" are creating.
It's yet another skirmish in the lumpers versus splitters battle in Historical Linguistics. Historical in the branch that deals with language families, language relationships and reconstruction of old languages that are no longer spoken.
The debate has heated up in recent years due to the prominence of lumper theories publicized by the late Joseph Greenberg and his followers and disciples, notably Merrit Ruhlen at Stanford University. Ruhlen and Greenberg use a technique called mass comparison which has come under a lot of wild and irrational abuse, but seems to be a valid scientific method in the hands of an expert.
Greenberg used to come up with the four major language families of Africa a long time ago and his classification there has remained pretty solid ever since.
He since published a book called Language in the Americas, which broke down all Amerindian languages into three large families – Amerind, Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut. I have read that book many times and I concur with its analysis. Unfortunately, a detailed examination of the evidence goes beyond the scope of this post.
Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut are not very controversial, though the position of Haida within Na-Dene is regarded as unproven. I don't have any position on Haida. If it's related, it has to be as some outlier, such that the family should be called Haida-Na-Dene.
In the same way, some wish to put the ancient Indo-European Anatolian language Hittite into a separate branch of Indo-European as Indo-Hittite. I don't have a position on that either.
Bengston promotes a family called Dene-Caucasian that involves the North Caucasian languages of the Caucasus, Basque, Na-Dene, Sino-Tibetan, Burushaski in northern Pakistan and the Ket Family in Siberia. I can't speak for the whole family, but the evidence is definitely interesting. I think that Bengston has proven a case for Ket, Basque and the Caucasian languages being related, as I read a book on that subject.
Recently, Edward Vajda conclusively proved that the Ket language is related to the Na-Dene languages.
A Ket man in Siberia. His phenotype looks a bit Japanese, no? Or am I wrong? He doesn't look like an Amerindian. The situation of the Ket is deplorable, as most live in serious poverty and do not see any hope for their improving themselves. The Ket language is also in really bad shape, as hardly anyone under 35 can speak it well, and 30% of the population regard speaking Ket as useless.
I swear the USSR did a better job with minority tongues than these Putin fascists.
There is good evidence with Amerindians (broken link). The Selkup are a Samoyedic people who live near the Ket. There is also good evidence linking the peoples of the Altai with Amerindians.
This doesn't make a lot of sense, as the Selkup and Ket now live a long ways from the Altai region, but the Ket and Selkup are thought to have lived in the Altai long ago and come north later on.
Relating to the Ket, along with the Selkup nearby, the theory linking these groups to the Amerindians supports a single migration to the Americas 16,000 years ago, but it's not at all definitive. According to this paper (broken link) linking the Ket with Amerindians, proto-Caucasians are thought to have evolved in Central Asia. I would place it more near the Caucasus.
Click to enlarge. I believe that the latest evidence is showing that all of the various Altai peoples – Northern Turkics would be the various Altai groupings – the Altai, the Tofalar, the Khakass and the Shor – are related to the Amerindians. These are often referred to as Northern Turkics. They aren't really Turks per se as in people from Turkey, but even the Turks from Turkey are thought to be partly related to those Northern Turkic tribes.
Northern Turkics are right on the border between Asians and Caucasians on gene charts and some Amerinds are not so far genetically from that border either. If you look at the Cavalli-Sforza gene chart below, you can see that next to the Eskimo-Aleuts, the Chukchi and the Northern Turkics are the people most closely related to the Amerindians.
It also looks like the Ket and Selkup came from what is now the Northern Turkic Altai region. Anthropologically, these various groups are either Uralics or are South Siberian, Central Asian or North Asian Asiatics. This general region is where Russia, China and Mongolia all come together = the Altai.
This is the first connection of a New World language family with an Old World language family.
Here is a Nenets woman from Siberia. She definitely seems to look Northern Chinese or Korean. Or am I wrong? They have a population of 44,000, and there are 31,000 speakers of the language. It's really two languages – Forest Nenets and Tundra Nenets, but both are said to be endangered. I think at least Tundra Nenets will be around for a while though, as most kids are still learning it.The Nenets are Samoyedics like the Selkup, discussed above. The Selkup are related to the Amerindians.
It's interesting that the Ket have also been linked genetically with the New World.
Here is a rare photo of Ed Vajda with two Ket women in Siberia described as "experts in the Ket language. I'm not good at judging ages, but these women look to be about 40-60? If so, that is good, as I thought all of the speakers were elderly, and hardly anyone spoke the language well anymore. Ket does have anywhere from 537-1,000 speakers. A related language, Yugh, is thought to have recently gone extinct. The rest of the Yeniseien languages went extinct about 150-250 years ago.
These are the most vilified of the lumpers, but there are others who are following more orthodox methods of reconstruction in order to prove the existence of language families, such as the late Sergey Starostin, his son George Starostin, John Bengston, the late Vladislav Markovich Illich-Svitych (a prodigy, dead at the young age of only 32), Aharon Dolgopolsky and Vitaly Victorovich Shevoroshkin.
The Starostins, Illich-Svitych, Dolgopolsky and Shevoroshkin all worked on Nostratic, a vast family consisting, variously, of Indo-European, Uralic, Altaic, Kartvelian, Nivkh, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Afro-Asiatic, Dravidian and Eskimo-Aleut.
I would accept IE, Uralic, Altaic, Nivki, Chukotko-Kamchatkan and Eskimo-Aleut for sure in Nostratic. I haven't seen a lot of evidence for Afro-Asiatic and Dravidian, but I haven't looked that hard at Nostratic. The Altaic family is itself controversial, but I regard it as fact, having studied it a bit.
This large Altaic above also includes Japanese, Korean and Ainu. I agree that those three languages can be included in Altaic, though at great distance. I would toss Yukaghir in with Uralic. I would also toss Afro-Asiatic in with IE, as I read a good book on that subject.
Nostratic has a whole lot more going for it than some of these other long-range proposals, and since these guys are using classic reconstruction, it gets a lot more respect from splitters. Starostin's webpage is a great resource for looking into long-range stuff, especially Nostratic and Altaic.
Bengston, Shevoroshkin and the Starostins all worked on Dene-Caucasian. This hypothesis seems a lot more controversial.
Click to enlarge. Here is a tree of Luigi Cavalli-Sforza's human genetic families on the left and various human language families on the right, including some big families. The only one that is seriously out of place is Tibetan. This is because the Tibetans are a genetically North Chinese people who have moved down into Southern China in recent years.
They cluster with South Chinese linguistically but NE Asians genetically. All the rest lines up pretty well, including super-families like Nostratic and Eurasiatic (a Nostratic-like family created by Greenberg). The hypothesized Austric family is interesting. I'm not sure if I buy this super-family or not, but I have not really looked into it. With recent genetic evidence linking Indonesians and Vietnamese to Daic peoples of South China and SE Asia, it seems worth looking into.

Hi Robert – certainly this is interesting stuff – I guess that I'm one of those thousands of North Asian's (although I immediate ancestry is Southern Chinese) who are somehow drawn into this historical lingustic/genetic question of why Chinese, although we are the largest "ethnic group", fit so badly into the linguistic/genetic/anthropometric scheme of things – we look North Asian, we often cluster with South East Asians, but apparently we speak a language that traces it's roots to Dene-Caucasian and is about as far as possible to any other language in Asia – particularly the Altaic speakers, with whom we share close cultural and somewhat proximate genetic/anthropometric traits. The end result of all this is that this whole area isn't particularly satisfying for the 1/5th of humanity who want to understand more about their past and relationships with others…in any case, it'd be wonderful if you could let me and other Northern/Southern Chinese understand more about their heritage via email or on your blog or via some references to interesting articles if you ever have a free moment!

Wow Robert, I never knew you were aware of Dr. Edward Vajda.
Regarding Dravidian being in Nostretic, well Dravidian works in the same order as Altaic & Uralic. It's an agrevetive? (spelling) language family, meaning they attach suffixation to root words to produce verbs, a trait shared by both Uralic & Altaic. Also many other grammatical similarities have been found between Kannada (Dravidian) and Turkic languages. Some of their suffixes are identical in sound & meaning.
Common words were also found between Finnish (Uralic) & Malayalam (Dravidian).
Additionally more common suffixation was found between Tamil (Dravidian) & Hungarian (Uralic).
Suffixes with exact sound and meaning. Based on what I know I'd place Dravidian with Uralic & Altaic. Not sure about Indo-European & Afro-Asiatic fitting in, but I preffer to dig into the facts before making my own conclusions.
And lastly regarding genetics, I can help you there. I've got plenty of charts & tables to supply you with if needed.
I'm not sure I agree with that, though I am no expert. I don't think I want to go along with a theory that puts Dravidian in with Altaic and Uralic. Dravidian is definitely a mysterious language family. I'm not sure I would put it in with Nostratic either. It's too far from the rest of Nostratic proper.
But I'm no expert on this stuff.

When analysing possible macrofamilies, one should keep in mind the geographical situation during the ice age,of which one important factor is a belt of lawland along most parts of all continents where people could live and use as migration route, and which later was flooded.
