The Acid 200 Disc's heat-treated 6061 aluminium frame has the same quality and durability as our full-size mountain bikes. It's also as light as our engineers can reasonably make it, thanks to a curved and formed down tube designed specifically to suit a young rider's weight. Because we know that accidents can happen when they're pushing their limits, we've made the derailleur hanger easily replaceable so that a crash doesn't write off the frame. And, just like a real mountain bike, there are neat disc mounts front and rear.


A Sheep Pond Road homeowner has asked the Nantucket Conservation Commission to approve an unusual request: Allow Mother Nature to take its course and erode his oceanfront property to form a coastal dune.
He�s just one of a growing number of waterfront owners this year who are faced with the daunting choice of taking drastic measures to save their homes � or risk losing them forever.
Included in James Wyland�s proposal, which was presented to the ConCom last night, is permission to move his house at 3 Sheep Pond Road, which is currently six feet from the edge of the coastal bank and ready to slide onto the beach, across the street to 4 Sheep Pond Road, which is owned by Fayerweather Nominee Trust, with Kathleen Canaiy Betts as a trustee.
Stan Humphries, a coastal engineer representing Wyland and Betts and the owners of 5 Sheep Pond Road, Richard and Susan Rasmussen, said it would take two to three years at the current rate of erosion for the coastal bank to erode naturally into a dune.
After the erosion halted, Humphries said phase two of the plan would be to terrace and nourish the beach 500 feet along 3 and 5 Sheep Pond Road.
Wyland and his wife Wyland bought the Sheep Pond Road property two years ago for $475,000 with 50 feet between it and the water. During storm surges in February and April, they lost a total of 44 feet and now the deck of their simple cottage hangs close to the edge of the bank.
Members and staff of the Conservation Commission were unsure if a house built before 1978 and moved to a different property, would still be granted the same protection should the new property become endangered.
The homeowners on Sheep Pond Road are among a growing number of waterfront homeowners who are trying to slow down if not stop Mother Nature, and a sobering reminder of the impact of erosion on the west end of the island in particular this year.
Two weeks ago, James and Barbara Heneghan, owners of �Shifting Sands� on Smith�s Point, had an emergency meeting with the Conservation Commission on their property as waves crashed through the basement of the boarded up two-story house.
In turn, the Heneghans asked the state�s Department of Environmental Protection for a superseding emergency certification which would allow them to put in sand fencing and terrace the property in front of their house.
The Heneghans� house is aptly named. Almost two years ago, the house was similarly threatened, yet almost as swiftly as the sand was stolen by the wind and tide, it mysteriously built up during the last two years, gaining between 100 to 125 feet.
Yet, Mother Nature�s reprieve was short-lived. Last month, the Heneghans were back to square one, with waves crashing through the basement.
The beach they gained is gone.
Yet erosion is not confined to the Smith�s Point and Madaket.
On Baxter Road, the famous approach to Sankaty Light, Ann and Sam Furrow�s �Bluff House� is jacked up and ready to be moved 35 feet back from the quickly-eroding Sankaty bluff.
After the Patriot�s Day storm, the Furrows lost nearly seven feet of their manicured lawn to the wild surf, leaving a corner of their rambling, waterfront home � complete with a baby grand piano � four feet from the edge of a sheer drop into the ocean. The move represents the last chance for the Furrows to save their house and perhaps buy another five years of their ocean view.
The Furrows are no strangers to moving a house from the jaws of Mother Nature. Two years ago, they moved a house at 99 Baxter Road, near Sankaty Light, across the street to 112 Baxter Road. The waterfront lot on the bluff has filled in with compass grass, leaving no trace of the house which was once there.
Erosion is nothing new on Nantucket. It�s been slowly eating away the shoreline since glaciers first formed the island 18,000 years ago.
The most damage occurs when strong waves coincide with the highest tides. That usually happens in the winter and early spring, increasing the impact of already dangerous nor�easters.
Some novel solutions have been proposed. Joseph Farrell has a plan to save Nantucket�s fast-eroding coastline by sinking barges at different angles along the coast and redirecting sand to the shore.
Farrell owns Resolve Marine, an ocean salvage and rescue company, and has spent the past 30 years salvaging wrecks and responding to marine emergencies.
Farrell has been working with scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI)to measure currents, wave patterns, and sand movement along the south shore and has transformed a shed into a portable lab which can measure underwater currents and sand movements.
The Modular Acoustic Velocity Sensor (MAVS) is the underwater instrumentation being used and was designed by professors Albert �Sandy� Williams and Todd Morrison of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and also have their own engineering firm.
By monitoring the currents and their directions, along with the wind speeds and its direction, scientists will be able to understand what is causing the currents, and most importantly, how to anticipate the erosion created by these phenomenon, says Farrell.
Farrell, Williams and Archie Todd Morrison presented their findings in a scientific paper �Valentine�s Day 2007 Northeaster Storm at Madaket� at the Oceans �07 Conference in Aberdeen, Scotland this June.
By measuring sand transport, Farrell said it is possible to sink barges at critical and vulnerable regions and redirect the sand to build up the beaches during a storm and after storms.
Given its location and geologic makeup, erosion is worse here on Nantucket than just about anywhere else in New England.
According to a recent study conducted by James O�Connell of Woods Hole, the southwest shore has the highest long-term rate of erosion in the state, about 11 or 12 feet a year in many places.

Today I got an email form a newbee regarding some help in SQL Server.
His question was a typical "SQL Server Interview Question": What are the various ways to get SQL Server version number?
Check the INSTANCE name in SSMS Object explorer. It shown SQL Server Version Number in brackets, like: (SQL Server 10.50.4000 – DOMAIN\user).
Check by "SQL Server Features Discovery report".
A window will open, click on Toolsat the left navigation bar, then click on "Installed SQL Server Features Discovery report" link.
Simply, in SSMS go to menu, Help -> About.
You will get a pop-up window which shows version number of difefrent Components installed as a part of SQL Server installation.
To my previous comment about version/build numbers, here is an error when trying to apply a CU patch for SQL 2008 R2 SP1.
A SQL Server update with a higher version has already been installed on SQL Server instance MSSQLSERVER, so the current SQL Server update cannot be applied. The version of the SQL Server update that is already installed is GDR 10.51.2550.0(10.51.2860.0) with a KBKB2716440 and the current SQL Server update is 10.51.2769.0 with a KBKB2544793.
Even though in server management it displays 10.50.2550 – .
Does not allow one to apply any patches.
After SP1 of SQL server 2008 R2, the versions displayed by Select @@version and that displayed by running the SQL Server discovery report are different.

The Inpatient The Inpatient Review PSVR
I don't think there has been a VR game yet that has made me yelp out in sheer terror more than my initial experience of The Inpatient!
After waiting for The Inpatient to come out after it was announced at E3 last year, I can openly admit it has lived up to the hype and anticipation. The game has really taken on-board what a horror VR experience should be about by immersing players in the game, providing an addictive story, and of course keeping the length to somewhere that's not desperately short but not too lengthy either.
Voice recognition? Yes please!
At the very beginning of the game you'll get to select whether to use one of the most innovative VR options yet, voice recognition. The Inpatient makes use of all of the capabilities of the PSVR by allowing players to speak the words you see on screen (while maintaining the option of manually selecting this with your move controller). In other words when the creepy doctor asks you a question, shout one of the options at him to get a response – pretty neat huh!?
Keeping the Butterfly Effect alive
Those who have played the Until Dawn series will know all about the Butterfly Effect, for the players who are yet to take these for a spin, the Butterfly Effect in a nutshell is the effect of your choices and the impact they have throughout the rest of the game. In other words, when someone in the game asks you a question there'll be important answers which will have an effect on how the storyline plays out – so make sure you choose wisely!
Customising…you!
As you start a new game you'll need to choose both your gender as well as your skin colour, this will then be reflected on your character within the game. I couldn't really tell if there was any benefit in the choice you make initially, but it's more of a personal preference as to how you'll look during your time at Blackwood Sanatorium in the 1950's.
Snooping around
The way you move around throughout The Inpatient has a different feel to it as you'll use the PlayStation Move controllers to navigate your cell as well as the rest of the sanatorium. Point the controller behind you and you'll turn 360 degrees to face that direction, then press the Move selection button on the right controller to walk in that direction – confusing at first but you'll get used to it quickly.
I also like that you can go to your cell door and peak left and right to actually try and see what's going on.
Where the hell did that come from!?
Resident Evil 7 was scary in a gory kind of way, The Inpatient is my preferred type of horror game though as it's more jumpy than that gory feel. I genuinely didn't see certain things coming (no spoilers), and with the added immersion of the surround sound in your ears I'd be surprised if you didn't jump out of your skin as well.
Totally interactive
I totally applaud Supermassive Games for The Inpatient as they've really covered all bases with the game as it's so interactive. There'll be objects of interest that flash up with a glow to show you something needs inspecting, but what's different (like the screenshot below of some notes) is that I physically had to change my position to be able to read it by ensuring the window with sunlight was behind me to make it clearer. It's either that or my eyes are pretty terrible!
SSG Rating
Before the doctor takes me away again I wanted to summarise; The Inpatient is a very different VR game, it's unlike the other horror titles out there with it's emphasis on being truly immersive and interactive. The only thing for me that let this down was it's PlayStation store price tag of £34.99, however I did then find you can pickup a copy from Amazon for £10 less at £24.99 and get a physical copy. Overall though I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game and it deserves the 8.5 score I've given it.
Visually stunning, fully immersive.
Not for the faint hearted!
Desert Strike Sega Mega Drive Review – choppers at the ready!
Theme Park Bullfrog Review – the rollercoaster ride of your life
Nintendo Entertainment System Review – Where Super Mario Was born
Set in the Until Dawn universe, The Inpatient is a horror game with psychological elements that takes you back to the Blackwood Sanatorium in the 1950s.
Release Date:23rd January 2018

Sir David Attenborough breaks Jennifer Aniston's Instagram record
Move aside Jennifer Aniston, there's a new Instagram record-breaker in town.
By Rachel Thompson September 25, 2020
Sir David Attenborough has broken the record for the fastest time to reach one million followers on Instagram, reaching the milestone in just over four hours, according to the Guinness World Records.
That means the 94-year-old naturalist has surpassed the previous record set by Aniston, who reached the one milly mark in five hours and 16 minutes. Before that, the record was five hours and 45 minutes, set by none other than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
David Attenborough has spent a lifetime travelling, exploring the wild places of our planet and documenting the living world in all its variety and wonder. He's also witnessed the damaged caused. Saving our planet is now a communications challenge. We know what to do, we just need the will. That's why we want to share this message on Instagram. Because there is hope and together, we can inspire change. Social media isn't David's usual habitat so while he's recorded messages solely for Instagram, like the one in this post, we're helping to run this account. In case you're wondering, 'we' are Jonnie and Colin and we worked with David on A Life On Our Planet. So, as well as sharing the messages he's recorded especially for this account we'll also post some exclusive clips and behind the scenes content. Stay tuned.
A post shared by A Life On Our Planet (@davidattenborough) on Sep 24, 2020 at 2:00am PDT
Since joining Instagram 24 hours ago, Attenborough has racked up 2.7 million followers. His first ever post gained a whopping 10,257,883 views. Pretty impressive tbh.
The veteran broadcaster joined the social media platform for a really important reason, too. "This is my first time on Instagram," Attenborough said in his first ever Insta video. "And I'm making this move and exploring this new way of communication to me, because as we all know, the world is in trouble. Continents are on fire. Glaciers are melting. Coral reefs are dying. Fish are disappearing from our oceans. The list goes on and on and on."
SEE ALSO: Sir David Attenborough delivers stark warning in BBC doc 'Extinction: The Facts'
Attenborough plans to use his account to share important messages about saving the planet and possible solutions for tackling climate change. Jonnie Hughes and Colin Butfield, who worked on Attenborough's upcoming Netflix film and book A Life On Our Planet, are helping to manage the account.
Congrats, Sir David, on your record-breaking achievement!

Q: Header redirects not working as expected I have the following function which retrives the currently logged in users' username and finds out their access level from the database (either 'requested','user', or 'admin')
function fetchAccess()
    {
    global $con;
    $username = $_SESSION['username'];
    $q = "SELECT access FROM users WHERE username = '$username'  LIMIT 1";
    $result = mysql_query($q, $con);
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
    $access = $row['access'];

    if(isset($_SESSION['username']))
        {

        if($access == 'user')
            {
            return 1; // Returns 1 if access level is user
            }
        elseif($access == 'admin')
            {
            return 2; // Returns 2 if access level is admin
            }
        elseif($access == 'requested')
            {
            return 3; // Returns 3 if access level is requested
            }
        }
    }

When I am checking whether the user is an admin using the follow code, this works correctly.
/* Redirects user if access level does not equal admin */
    $result = fetchAccess();
    if($result != 2)
        {
        header("location:index.php");
        }

However when I check to see whether the access is 'requested' - this following is NOT working correctly.
<?php

/* Redirects user if access level does is 'requested' */
    $result = fetchAccess();
    if($result == 3)
        {
        header("location:redirect.php");
        }

?>

Does anyone know why this is?

A: Have you verified that $result actually equal to 3? it may very well be that in the first instance $result == "" which is != 2 so it is not working at all.  Try debugging it by including a header like:
<?php

    $result = fetchAccess();
    header("X-my-result: [$result]");
    if ( $result == 3 ) {
         header("Location: redirect.php");
    }

?>

and see what you get back for value of $result in the headers.

A: do an echo statement to see what is return in the $result variable.  btw, i'm not sure if your logic in your first redirect statement is to encompass both 'user' and 'requested', but those users will be redirected to index.php

A: You can do this:
function fetchAccess()
    {
    global $con;
    $username = $_SESSION['username'];
    $q = "SELECT access FROM users WHERE username = '$username'  LIMIT 1";
    $result = mysql_query($q, $con);
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
global $access
    $access = $row['access'];
}

then:
global $access
if($access != admin){
   header("location:redirect.php");
}

New Survey Unveils Significant Impact of COVID-19 on the Future of Nursing
Posted By: admin December 2, 2021
Cross Country Healthcare, Inc., announces the results from a nationally represented survey of nurses and nursing students showing that the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced long-lasting negative perceptions of their future careers. The survey, conducted in partnership with Florida Atlantic University's Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, identifies root causes of the current stressors among healthcare professionals and provides actionable areas to help improve nursing satisfaction, career outlook and mental well-being.
The survey reports that nearly 37 percent of nurses identify as being burned out, stressed and/or overworked. The poll results further reveal that only 32 percent of nurses are very/completely satisfied with their occupation, compared to 52 percent prior to the pandemic. Moreover, 29 percent of nurses say their desire to leave the profession is dramatically higher now versus pre-pandemic, noting the nursing shortage and inadequate staffing levels as top contributors to the low satisfaction. 66 percent of nurses expressed some level of consideration to leave the profession, signaling long-term impacts on our health system post-pandemic.
"On one hand, this research shows us that the pressures for nurses under COVID-19 are significant and likely long-lasting," said Henry Drummond, PhD, MDiv, BA, RN, senior vice president, chief clinical officer at Cross Country Healthcare. "On the other hand, the data is very clear in outlining specific areas that we can improve, and Cross Country Healthcare is making every effort to support our nurses by addressing these challenges."
The survey also pinpointed areas of change that nurses believe would positively affect the profession. These include incorporating new staffing approaches and increasing wages. For instance, 97 percent of polled participants agree, and 81 percent completely agree, that increases to pay rates and other incentives would attract and retain nurses. More than half (58 percent) agree that telehealth should be a cornerstone of care delivery and 85 percent believe that we must improve cross training to adapt to crisis events. Additionally, the majority of nurses (85 percent) strongly believe national licensure, a multistate license that would allow nurses to practice across state lines, would have greatly benefited the country during the pandemic.
"Our nurses are the backbone of the healthcare system and if too many leave or decide not to pursue a career in nursing, the consequences would be catastrophic," said Safiya George, PhD, APRN-BC, FAANP, dean and professor at Florida Atlantic University's Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing. "Our nurses need solutions, many of them outlined in this research, that will ease burnout and reduce stress, as well as help them enjoy long-term and satisfying careers."

Petra Excursions Day Tours From Sharm El Sheikh by plane and bus/ferry for one or two days available to enjoy by visiting wadi rum and dead sea in the side of jordan.
Petra, the fabled "rose red city, half as old as time", is a well known ancient Nabataean city in the south of Jordan. Due to its breathtaking grandeur and fabulous ruins, Petra was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985. Petra was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom from around the 6th century BC. The kingdom was absorbed into the Roman Empire in AD 106 and the Romans continued to expand the city. An important center for trade and commerce, Petra continued to flourish until a catastrophic earthquake destroyed buildings and crippled vital water management systems around AD 663. After Saladin's conquest of the Middle East in 1189, Petra was abandoned and the memory of it was lost to the West.
Wadi Rum is a spectacularly scenic desert valley [wadi in Arabic] in southern Jordan.This area of Jordan is quite isolated and largely inhospitable to settled life. The only permanent inhabitants are several thousand Bedouin nomads and villagers. There is no real infrastructure, leaving the area quite unspoilt. Apart from the Bedouin goat hair tents, the only structures are a few concrete shops and houses and the fort headquarters of the Desert Patrol Corps.
The Dead Sea transliteration: "al-Bahir al-Mayyit" has its eastern coast in Jordan. It is the lowest point in the world at 394.6 m (1269 ft) below sea level. On the Jordanian side, the Dead Sea is possible as a day trip from both Amman and Aqaba. The road is a good dual carriage way. Tourist areas are accessible from the main road that runs along the eastern side of the body of water and connects to Jordan's Desert Highway running to Amman. Highways leading to the Dead Sea are clearly marked by brown tourist signs. It is an ambitious 3-hour drive from Aqaba in southern Jordan.

THE PERSPECTIVE OF CHOICE. ERWIN PANOFSKY, PAVEL FLORENSKY
In his canonical essay Perspective as Symbolic Form (1927) the German art historian Erwin Panofsky argues that the perspectival worldview as understood today is only one of many ways of perceiving reality and is linked to the symbolic interpretation of the Renaissance painterly technique called linear perspective. Panofsky's theory set the trajectory for further debate on the problem of multiplicity of perspectives, its main opponents being those who believed perspective to have a universal character. Meanwhile in the East an alternative approach to symbolic reading of perspective was being formulated: its expression is Reverse Perspective (1920) by Pavel Florensky, a Russian Orthodox priest and thinker. His original /insight – inspired by the analysis of perspectival techniques in Eastern Orthodox Christian icon, offers different – indeed contrary to Panofsky's – conclusions, even though both authors start with a significant number of surprisingly similar assumptions. For many decades Western readers were not familiar with Florensky's writings. It is not surprising as his thought was being suppressed and censored: after Florensky was murdered (1937) by the Bolsheviks, the forward thinking Soviet regime made sure that his philosophy, imbued with the spirit of Christianity, did not reach a wide audience. As a result, Reverse Perspective could only be published in the USSR in the second half of the 20th c., and it reached Western readers at the very end of the last century.

A GLIMPSE AT THE HISTORY OF SHAKESPEARE'S RECEPTION IN RUSSIA
In The Winter's Tale, one of his last works, William Shakespeare compared the Russian Empire to a "bear from the North." It is one of few places where Shakespeare mentions the country about which he probably knew little. Russians, in turn, knew nothing at all about Shakespeare. A lot of time needed to pass before Shakespeare's plays started to interest, fascinate, but also repulse Russian authors, critics and thinkers. The gradual process of introducing the playwright's work onto Russian stages started as late as the 18th c. Nikolay Zacharov, a contemporary Russian Shakespeare scholar, sees the reason for the English playwright's late reception in the Romanov empire in the country's closing itself in the circle of its own tradition. The lay literature in the times of Ivan the Terrible, despite all its qualities, could not compare with Western writing and "was not ready to accept Shakespeare's lesson." It was only Peter the Great's policy that enabled a free influx of European art and culture to the country, a broadening of cultural horizons and exploring non -Russian points of view. A real fascination with Shakespeare, however, was to come later. It was started by the Decembrists in the beginning of the 19th century. Rejecting traditional approach to literature, longing for freedom in the art of the word, treating literature as a weapon, the Decembrists could not help but view Shakespeare as an epitome of artistic freedom.

ON A TOO CONSISTENT APOLOGY OF THE GOOD (LEV SHESTOV AND LEO TOLSTOY)
When we think, we judge thoughts: our own and others'. It is also crucial what implicit and explicit criteria we adopt to remain true to ourselves. Lev Shestov started his philosophical thinking with a judgement – for this seems the right word – of the work by the most outstanding writers of the past and present, devoting a lot of attention to two great Russians: Fyodor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy. If one assumes that many intuitions expressed in ingenious literary works contain a body of philosophical knowledge par excellence, then one has to learn reading these works philosophically. This is how Shestov treated literary works: by painstakingly tracing their "underground" ideas, ideas that not only question common sense but also topple the eternal truths of reason, or at least exhort us to do so. Therefore, they will not let us enjoy either the sleep of reason or the sleep of the just. In his early writings, alongside Russian authors, he also finds place for the evidence of the man who made use of his experience – of himself and the world – to forge the coming "new" philosophy as on the border of philosophy and literature there appeared a new German thinker: Friedrich Nietzsche. The Russian philosopher devoted an entire book to his experience of Tolstoy and Nietzsche: The Good in the Teachings of Tolstoy and Nietzsche: Philosophy and Preaching (1900). A book length study was also written on Dostoevsky.

Abuse for All to See
By Robert Prentice
The firestorm over domestic abuse ignited by the staggered public release of two videos of Ray Rice and his then-girlfriend and now wife Janay Palmer illustrates one important finding of the behavioral ethics research that underlies many of our Ethics Unwrapped educational videos: many moral judgments are emotion-driven.
It seems to most people that their judgments of the morality of others' actions—infidelity, insider trading, drug abuse, etc.—is driven by their own reasoned analysis. It generally seems to people that their brain's cognitive system (what Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman calls the slow and steady "System 2") is in charge of evaluating the morality of people's acts.
However, it has long been clear to behavioral ethics researchers that there is a huge emotional component to the moral judgments that people render. Emotions such as anger, contempt, and disgust (deriving from the brain's rapid and intuitive "System 1") make the bulk of people's moral judgments for them, at least if they are not careful. Psychologists have long been able to manipulate lab subjects' moral judgments by simply triggering their disgust emotion. People tend to make much less harsh judgments of others' actions in a clean, well-lit room. Litter the room with used tissues or add a dash of "Fart Spray" (yes, there is such a product), and people's judgments regarding the morality of adultery, tax evasion and the like become much less forgiving.
People do not consciously realize how emotions affect their moral judgments, but the Ray Rice case puts the process on display. People know at an intellectual level that domestic violence is a serious problem that should be addressed, but a sense of urgency is often lacking until they see a video like that of Ray Rice dragging the unconscious Janay Palmer out of an elevator. The video, which became publicly available in the spring of 2014, greatly upset many people, as did the NFL's relatively light initial punishment of Rice—a two-game suspension.
The controversy over domestic violence and the NFL's response to it simmered throughout the summer of 2014. Every person who watched the video of Rice dragging Palmer out of the elevator could have mentally reconstructed what happened in the elevator. It was obvious that Rice had hit Palmer, rendering her unconscious. However, it took the public release of a video from the interior of the elevator that actually showed the blow to turn the simmering controversy into an out-and-out conflagration that forced the NFL's hand, leading commissioner Roger Goodell to greatly increase the punishment for players involved in domestic abuse and causing Rice's team, the Baltimore Ravens, to void his $40 million contract and release him. Actually seeing the video greatly magnified people's emotional reactions to what they already knew Rice had done. This intensified emotional reaction, in turn, changed people's moral judgments both of Rice's actions and of the reactions of the NFL and the Ravens.
In the Rice case, it appears that a lot of good may come from the emotion-fueled reactions people are having in response to the second video. Domestic abuse may be more seriously addressed in public policy debates, as it should be. But let's be careful. The fact that people have an adverse emotional reaction to something does not necessarily mean that it is morally bad. It may be, as in the case of domestic abuse. But it may not be.
For example, there is evidence that the disgust emotion originated to keep people from eating poison and from exposing themselves to germs, but as people evolved disgust became implicated in the psychological systems underlying moral judgments. What disgusts people varies from culture to culture, and one school of thought is that disgust has underlain bias against homosexuals. Whether or not that is accurate, Daniel Kelly is surely right when he claims that "the fact that something is disgusting is not even remotely a reliable indicator of foul play."
As another example of how our emotions can mislead our moral judgments, people tend to believe intellectually that choices regarding the proper punishment for Ray Rice and for most accused criminals in our justice system should be largely driven by considerations of deterrence. However, Sinnott-Armstrong and colleagues point out that in reality it is not deterrence but people's moral outrage that actually drives the punishments that they dole out as jurors and judges.
The fact that people have great difficulty controlling their emotional reactions (Amodio) necessarily means that there is a critical role for the cognitive System 2 and that truly moral people will try to increase the role that System 2 plays in their moral judgments, as recently recommended by Mark Johnson in his book Morality for Humans. This requires conscious effort, but it is effort that should be well worth the cost. Only if we understand how emotions affect our moral judgments can we consciously reevaluate our snap moral judgments to determine whether they stand up to reasoned scrutiny. People's harsh reactions to the second Ray Rice video will, I believe, stand up to that inquiry, but not all emotion-driven moral judgments will.

Living in the greater urban landscape of Washington, DC, gives us so many options for weekend activities and so many organizations and people to connect with. Monuments, world-class museums, historic sites, restaurants, clubs, and performing arts venues are all at our fingertips. We can, however, get drawn so far into the urban lifestyle that we forget about the wildness of the natural world. And even when we feel the itch to go out into nature, it can be hard to find places off the beaten path that make us feel truly connected to it.
When the idea of writing a series of blog posts for urban naturalists was proposed to me, I thought about one of my favorite books, Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer by Novella Carpenter. In the memoir, Carpenter documents her experience of taking over a small abandoned plot of land next to her house in a section of inner-city Oakland. Raising chickens, ducks, bees, growing fresh vegetables and flowers, she transforms the block where she lives, making it a play area for children, a place for low-income families to find healthy, fresh vegetables, and adding beauty to an otherwise forgotten section of the neighborhood. Carpenter's account of an urban transformation reminds her readers that wildlife, plants, flowers, and natural beauty are not far away from us urban dwellers. In fact, these things could be right next door.
You might already know about Rock Creek Park, the US National Arboretum, and C&O Canal towpath. Here are a few other places and ways you can experience the beauty and wonder of the natural world in the DC-metro area.
According to an article written by Tanza Loudenback for Business Insider, Alexandria, VA, ranks 22nd on a list of America's top cities to live if you love the outdoors. With 20 nearby state parks , you can find many different points of access to the Potomac River* and to other natural areas.
Alexandria is a beautiful area situated on the banks of the Potomac, but it is not the only place you can access the river in the DC area. Depending on just how adventurous you would like to be, you can either use Google Maps to locate your nearest river access point, finding the green spaces that mark park areas, or go to River Explorer to find areas of access. Not sure what to do when you get there? See some ideas below.
A truly wonderful place to go and explore are the aquatic gardens at Kenilworth Park . Situated along the banks of the Anacostia River, the aquatic gardens give you an up-close look at this historic river. This special section of National Park Service land offers many opportunities to observe birds like hawks, great bald eagles, blue herons, and osprey. A large diversity of song birds can be found in the marsh areas as well. Bring a pair of binoculars and a little lunch and find a spot to enjoy the sights that make you feel like you have left the city behind and stepped into the wild. There are regular, guided nature walks and a Junior Ranger program for the kids. The gardens are open year round.
Who would have known that one of the country's biggest fish migrations goes right through the heart of our nation's capital? Each year, the shad migrate from the ocean and into the Potomac River to spawn. The migration can be seen if timed correctly. The National Capital Chapter of Trout Unlimited publishes a nice report that will help you stay up to date about the status of the migration. Watch a couple videos about the shad migration and plan to go out to spot these aquatic travelers. A nice place to go for a hike and observe some shad water is Fletcher's Cove . The Boathouse at Fletcher's Cove offers a large variety of activities that can engage children of all ages, including canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, row boating, and biking.
Want to hike but don't want to leave the city? The Mount Vernon Trail is a site to see. With beautiful views of both the DC skyline and the Potomac River, hikers can experience a true urban wildlife on this 18-mile trail. Add in a little history about George Washington at the start of the trail at Mount Vernon or go straight to the finish line and explore Theodore Roosevelt Island.
The D.C. Department of Energy and Environment Aquatic Resources Education Center is a great place to explore and learn about the natural world in the DC area. Parents can register online for "Family Discovery Days" and free family fishing days. Or, just go for a visit and see what is being offered in the way of programs and tours of DC's urban natural setting.
*Although the Potomac is a beautiful place to explore, it is also one of the nation's wildest rivers. In fact, it has been called the nation's wildest urban river. So, proceed with caution when participating in recreational activities. Always follow water safety regulations and be mindful of the unpredictability of the river's flow rate and bottom structure.
One of the best ways to engage in the natural world is to help create more of it. When winter holds us in its grasp, it is a great time to start thinking of planing or returning to the garden. The website, GrowVeg is a great resource that will give you specific plans for your garden and your growing region so you know what to plant and when.
Taking the kids out into the garden can generate all kinds of new ideas. Many adults who feel connected to nature were sparked at a young age with explorations of a garden. Keep it simple: get a pack of seeds from the supermarket, start them inside under a lamp, and when the frost ends (generally the last week of April), take them out to a little garden area.
Live in an apartment? Take a look at this great resource for Apartment Gardening . The DC Department of Parks and Recreation also runs community gardens . You can get on a list for a plot on their website. Washington Gardner also has a list of community gardens in nearby Virginia and Maryland.
Composting doesn't have to be a big operation. Small composting containers can be found for composting in the kitchen. People tend to think that if you compost, you have to use it in a garden. Even if you throw away your compost into the garbage, you've already started the process, and it will be less likely to take up space in a landfill because of your helping hand. For those interested in having the compost taken away, Fat Worm Composting offers a pick-up service and will even return a bag of soil to you. Backyard composters can be purchased, and they do a great job of keeping critters out. To learn more about backyard composting, take a look at this article, "The Dos and Don'ts of Backyard Composting written for Treehugger.com.
In Richard Louv's book, Vitamin N: The Essential Guide to a Nature-Rich Life , he promotes Sharon Lovejoy's idea to plant a pizza garden. Louv writes, "Grow a pizza garden with your choice of ingredients—tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, spinach, onions, basil, oregano, and more—in the shape of a pizza." Many times, it can be hard to think of all the things you can successfully grow, how to use them, and where to find the space. But, making a themed garden can be a fun and motivating way of gardening. For more ideas on gardening with kids and themed gardens, check out Lovejoy's book Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots .
Don't have the space? Volunteer!
DC Greens is a great organization working to supply DC residents with fresh produce. They have even started a farm in the middle of the city! Every Thursday evening from March to October, the farm allows volunteers to come and spend some time working the fields. Visit their website to learn more about the K Street Farm and how you can spend time working on this urban plot.
Thanks to dedicated environmental groups in the greater DC area, many of our creeks and rivers are getting cleaned up at one of the fastest rates in the country. Groups like the Rock Creek Conservancy , the Anacostia Watershed Society , and the DC Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation host cleanups of Rock Creek and nearby waterways. Participating in one of these cleanups always seems to lead to more outdoor opportunities. Working with these organizations is a great way to connect with other outdoor-minded members of the community.
You may have seen the influx of brightly colored bicycles lining the sidewalks of the DC metro area. These bikes are a revolution in the world of public transportation. Whereas Capital Bikeshare requires a membership, and riders must pick up and drop off bikes at certain designated locations, companies like LimeBike and Ofo Bikes offer bikes that can be picked up and dropped off anywhere within a large range. The only requirement is a charged smartphone that can download an app for each bike company in order to unlock and ride.
Use the DC bike maps to navigate and decide where you want to go. If you have children old enough for one of these simple and easy-to-ride bikes, you can ride to any area where the wilderness awaits. Drop your bike, walk into the natural world and back out again without expelling any greenhouse gases, feeling great about your environmental impact for the day. Maybe it will leave you feeling a little better about eating that burger at the end of a long day of calorie burning with the kids.
Scott's Run on the Virginia side of the Potomac offers a nice, easy hike, terrific for kids. You'll find a good size waterfall and plenty of natural beauty to explore.
The Billy Goat Trail on the Maryland side of Great Falls Park is a classic. Branching off of the C&O Canal, the Billy Goat Trail offers stunning views of the Potomac that make you forget you're anywhere near a city. Be prepared for exciting rock scrambles and lots of little pools with tadpoles and frogs. Go early to avoid the crowds as this is one of Maryland's most popular hikes. If you are hiking with children and they get tired, there is an alternate exit that shortens the loop. No dogs are allowed on Section A.
Check out the National Arboretum's Moon Hike . This is a great way to explore at night with some experts in the field.
A true and not-well-known gem of the DC area is Kingman Island This wonderful Potomac River Island is great for hikes, birds, fishing, and much more. Visiting the island is a plus for history buffs or those who are simply looking to learn more about the local area. Run by the well-known Living Classrooms Program —there are many environmental education and learning opportunities available if planned in advance. But it's not always all about science: you can also look forward to the Bluegrass and Folk Festival held each year on the island. It's a truly unique and artistic outdoor experience.


Gold got the anticipated "G20" early month lift at open today following Fridays monthly close over the important $1220 level. The weakening US dollar, relief rally in Asian equities both added to demand for Gold. The Asian session breached $1225 and follow through buying continued through the European session and into the US open. R2 and new "line in the sand" at $1230 was also tested, breached and eventually broken. R3 at $1235 is pushing the price into over bought territory and the more significant daily resistance area. The October high was $1243.50.

Q: CentOS 7 Why does the beep package not exist? I am not able to find the fabled 'beep' package using a yum search.
How can I make a beep on my system from the terminal without the package?
echo '\a' does not work either.

A: Accounting for the comment that echo only "beeps" my computer, the question is not looking for a way to use echo (or tput bel), but for something like that mentioned in Remotely make the computer beep on built-in speaker.
That wouldn't be in the standard CentOS repositories since it is not in Red Hat Enterprise.  But there is a package for it on RepoForge, as shown here:

*

*http://pkgs.repoforge.org/beep/, e.g.,

*http://pkgs.repoforge.org/beep/beep-1.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm
You could either just download the package and install it using yum, or configure your system to add RepoForge's repository (and install it just like any other package).


I want to always listen to channel 345, the 45 45 league channel.
When I log into ICC for Android, it's always on my channel list.
If I log out of ICC for Windows and relog in, I'm still subscribed to that channel.
But if I then log out of ICC for Windows and log in to Android, log out and back on to ICC for Windows, I'm no longer subscribed to the channel.
Hope this is clear enough!
This seems to be an issue with the Android client.

10 Things To Know About K-Drama Couple Park Min Young & Kim Jae Wook
If you are suffering from K-Drama 'Her Private Life' withdrawal syndrome, here's an antidote.
Catch Park Min Young and Kim Jae Wook at 2019 StarHub Night of Stars on Starhub's TV and digital platforms. Earlier this month, the pair turned up at the award ceremony at Marina Bay Sands. Jae Wook and Min Young received the Best Male and Female Asian Star Awards respectively.
KKBOX sat down with the K-stars before the glitzy extravaganza. Here's a list of 10 interesting facts aboutthe K-drama couple which they told us themselves.
Park Min Young
Park Min Young's must-eat Singapore dish is…
"Actually I am so excited to have chilli crab, I already made a reservation for a restaurant, after the awards ceremony."
Sung Deok Mi is a fangirl. But Min Yong is not.
"I don't really fangirl, but my sister does. I even followed her to a H.O.T (South Korean boy band) concert. To play the role of a fan in Her Private Life, I studied the love from my fans."
Feel free to tell Min Young your secrets
"I'm very tight-lipped. You can tell me anything, I won't tell anyone."
She wants to go clubbing
"There's a lot I want to try out. But I can't do it (because I'm a celebrity). For instance, I'd like to go clubbing."
She's an old soul when it comes to music
"I like old songs that were released in the 90s. It is not that I do not adore current songs though. But 1990s songs accompanied me through my growing years."
Kim Jae Wook
He's an interesting guy
More than once during the interview, Jae Wook reiterated:"I'm more interesting and fun than people think I am"
In real life, he's an average Joe
"I don't feel that I'm cool. It's because of the K-drama which needs me to portray a cool image.Offset, I'm a normal guy".
He wants to see the world
"I like to travel and would want to visit third world countries"
He picked up acting skills on the job
"I didn't go to acting school. It was only after I gained more experience that I felt confident enough to take on the lead role in 'Her Private Life'."
The leading man is open to all roles — big or small
"Just because I was the lead for "Her Private Life", this does not mean that I will reject second lead roles, as long as the character attracts me, I will do so."

Zooloretto Game Rules
Each player is a zoo owner. Players score points by attracting as many visitors to their zoos as possible. To accomplish this, they must collect matching sets of animals.
If a player manages to obtain many animals for his zoo, he will find it worthwhile to expand his zoo. Once all the enclosures are occupied, newly acquired animals must go into the barn. Vending stalls next to an enclosure guarantee a minimum number of visitors.
At the end of the game, a player loses points for animals they have left in the barn. The player with the most points wins the game.
5 Zoo Boards
5 Expansion Boards
5 Delivery Trucks
88 Animal Tiles (11x 8 Animals)
12 Vending Stalls (3x 4 Types)
12 Coin Tiles
16 Round Offspring Tiles (2x 8 Animals)
1 Round Wooden Disc
5 Summary Cards
1 Rule Booklet
1 Pouch
With 3 players, remove all animal and offspring tiles of two types from the game. With 4 players, remove all animal and offspring tiles of one type from the game. With 5 players, use all tiles.
Shuffle all square tiles face-down.
Count out 15 tiles and set them aside as a face-down stack for the end of the game. Place the round wooden disc as a marker on top of the stack.
Combine the remaining tiles face-down in multiple stacks of any desired height and place them in the middle of the table.
Place the round offspring tiles face up in a loose pile near the face-down stacks of animal tiles.
Place as many delivery trucks next to each other in the middle of the table as there are players in the game. Return unused trucks to the box.
Each player takes a zoo board and places in front of himself (his play area). He then places an expansion board face-down to the left of his zoo board.
Return unused boards to the box.
Each player takes two coins. Place the remaining coins in the middle of the table as the bank.
The players choose a start player using any method they prefer.
The game lasts several rounds. On a player's turn, he must perform one of the following three actions:
add a tile to a delivery truck, or
take a delivery truck and pass for the rest of the round, or
carry out one money action
The turn then passes to the next player in clockwise order. Once each player has taken a delivery truck, the round is over and a new round begins.
A. Add a tile to a delivery truck
The player draws and reveals the topmost tile from any stack and places it in an open space on any untaken delivery truck of his choice.
His turn is then over.
Each delivery truck has room for no more than 3 tiles. Should all delivery trucks already have 3 tiles on them, then the player cannot choose this action. He must then choose either action B or C.
Important: tiles from the stack covered by the wooden disc can only be drawn once all other stacks have been exhausted!
B. Take a delivery truck and pass for the rest of the round
The player chooses any untaken delivery truck and places it, along with any tiles on it, in his play area. He must immediately add the tiles from the truck to his zoo.
Important: a player may only choose a delivery truck on which there is at least one tile!
Once a player has taken a truck, he passes for the rest of the round and will not get another turn until the next round. Since all passing players will have delivery trucks in front of them, it is easy to tell who has passed in any given round.
When the player adds the tiles to his zoo, he must follow the following placement rules:
Animal Tiles
An animal tile may be placed either on an empty enclosure space or in the barn.
Important: no enclosure may contain more than one type of animal tile. However, a player may have multiple enclosures containing the same animal type.
If there aren't any legal spaces for an animal tile left in the enclosures, then the player must place the animal in his barn instead.
Vending Stalls
A vending stall may be placed on an empty stall space or in the barn. If there aren't any stall spaces left, then the player must place the tile in his barn instead.
Coin Tiles
A coin tile is added to any other coins the player has. A coin tile is worth one coin. Both are equivalent and may be used interchangeably.
Important: players may have as many tiles and as many types of tiles (including both animals and vending stalls) as they wish in their barns.
Note: a player may choose to place an animal tile in his barn, even if he has an appropriate empty space in one of his enclosures.
C. Carry out one money action
The player may carry out one of the following actions, provided that he can pay for it. He may pay with any combination of coins and/or coin tiles.
The following money actions are possible:
Remodel (Move or Exchange)
Purchase or Discard a tile
Expand the zoo
The placement rules described above must be followed when carrying out these actions.
Important: A player may never carry out more than one money action per turn. Therefore, a player wishing to carry out more involved remodeling projects will have to choose the action "carry out one money action" on multiple turns.
I. Remodel
Remodeling costs 1 coin, paid to the bank. A player may only remodel his own zoo.
There are two remodeling options: Move or Exchange.
The player moves a single animal tile from the barn to an empty enclosure space or he moves any one vending stall tile from it's current location to any eligible space in his zoo.
Example: Anna has 2 elephants in her barn and 3 elephants in an enclosure. She moves 1 elephant from the barn to the enclosure. She now has 4 elephants in the enclosure.
Example (no pic).: Bert has a vending stall on one space and moves it to another empty stall space.
The player takes all tiles of one animal type in either his barn or one of his zoo's enclosures and exchanges them with all tiles of one other animal type in another of his zoo's locations. An exchange must always involve exactly two areas and the animal types must be different. An exchange involving two areas with the same animal type is not allowed.
Important: an exchange is not permitted when one enclosure is too small to accommodate all of the new tiles that would be placed there or when one of the areas is empty.
Exchanging vending stalls is not permitted.
Example: Claus has 3 elephants in his barn and 1 panda in one of his enclosures. He exchanges the two animal types, after which he has 1 panda in his barn and 3 elephants in the enclosure.
Example: Doris has 3 elephants in one enclosure and 2 pandas in another. Through an exchange, the two animal types end up switching enclosures.
II. Purchase or Discard a Tile
For 2 coins, the player may either purchase an animal or vending stall tile from an opponent's barn or discard an animal or vending stall tile from his own barn.
The player takes the animal or vending stall tile of his choice from the barn of another player and adds it to his own zoo.
1 coin goes to the other player,
coin goes to the bank. Note: The other player may not refuse the purchase.
The player discards the animal or vending stall tile of his choice from his barn. The tile is removed from the game.
Both coins go to the bank.
III. Expand The Zoo
The player pays 3 coins to the bank and turns his expansion board face up. This expands his zoo by one enclosure and one stall space.
End of the Round
Once each player has taken a delivery truck, the round is over.
The players return the empty trucks to the middle of the table and the next round begins, starting with the player who took the last delivery truck in the previous round.
Note: if all players but one have passed, this player may continue to take as many turns as he can and chooses before taking the last delivery truck and passing!
Two Special Situations
A. Offspring
There are 2 fertile males and females of each animal type, distinguishable by the small symbols on their tiles.
When a player adds the appropriate partner for a fertile male or female is to an enclosure where the partner waits, the two immediately produce an offspring.
The player takes one of the appropriate offspring tiles from the supply and places it onto an empty space in the enclosure. Once placed, the offspring tile is treated like any other animal tile.
If there isn't any space left in the enclosure, the player must place the offspring in his barn instead.
Note: all that is required is for the male and female to be in the same enclosure - they do not need to be next to each other.
Each male and female can produce an offspring only once. So, for example, no offspring is produced when a third fertile animal is added to an enclosure that already has a fertile pair. Another offspring would only be produced when another partner, creating a second fertile pair, is added to the enclosure.
Important: pairs only produce offspring in enclosures, not in barns or on delivery trucks.
B. Last enclosure space filled
Whenever a player places a tile on the last empty space in one of his enclosures, he receives bonus coins from the bank equal to the number shown in the enclosure (if any are shown).
The player may also take coin tiles instead, should there be any in the bank. If the bank is empty, then the player receives nothing.
Exception: no bonus is awarded when all enclosure spaces are filled as a result of an Exchange action. There is also no bonus awarded if an offspring produced by the exchange fills the last space.
Note: for an enclosure with 6 spaces, there is no coin bonus!
The end of the game is triggered when a player draws and reveals the first tile from the stack covered by the wooden disc. The round is played through the end. Once each player has taken a delivery truck, the game is over and scoring takes place.
Each player determines the positive and negative points he receives for his zoo and adds them up.
For the animals in an enclosure, the player scores points as follows:
For a full enclosure (all spaces filled with animals), the player earns the higher of the two point values shown in the enclosure.
For an enclosure with 1 empty space (all but 1 space filled with animals), the player earns the lower of the two point values shown in the enclosure.
For an enclosure with two or more empty spaces, the player only scores points if he has a vending stall on at least one of the stall spaces associated with the enclosure. In this case, the player scores 1 point for each animal in the enclosure.
If a player has an enclosure with two or more empty spaces and no vending stall in the stall spaces that are associated with the enclosure, he scores no points for the enclosure.
Note: when both stall spaces next to a 4-space enclosure are occupied, a player still scores only 1 point per tile.
Each enclosure has one or two space for vending stalls adjacent to it.
For each vending stall type on stall spaces, the player receives 2 points.
For each vending stall type in his barn, the player receives minus 2 points.
For each animal type in his barn, the player receives minus 2 points.
Example: Claus has 3 elephants in his barn and receives 2 minus points for them.
The player with the most points wins.
In the event of a tie, the tied player with the most coins wins.
If there is still a tie, the tied players rejoice in their shared victory!
Scoring Example
In the expansion enclosure, the player has all spaces filled with zebras. The player scores the higher score: 9 points.
In the elephant enclosure, a tile a is missing. The player scores the lower amount: 5 points.
In the enclosure with the chimpanzees, two tiles b are missing. Since there is at least one vending stall next to the enclosure c, the player scores 1 point for each tile: 2 points.
In the enclosure with the pandas, 2 tiles d are missing. As there is no vending stall next to the enclosure e, the player gets no points: 0 points.
The player has 2 different types of vending stalls. For each type he scores 2 points: 4 points.
For each animal type in the barn, the player scores 2 minus points of, regardless of how many tiles of the animal types are in the barn: -4 points.
Total =16 Points
2-player Variant
The normal game rules are in effect with the following changes:
Each player takes 2 expansion boards, which he places face-down next to his zoo board.
Remove all animal and offspring tiles of three types from the game.
Place 3 delivery trucks in the middle of the table.
Draw three of the tiles removed from the game at random and place 1 face-down on one of the trucks. Place the other 2 face-down on a second truck. This blocks these 3 delivery spaces for the entire game.
Players may only choose to take a truck with at least one face-up tile on it. When a player takes a truck, he only takes and places the face-up tiles on the truck. The face-down tiles remain on the truck.
The round ends once both players have taken a delivery truck. Remove any face-up tiles on the remaining truck from the game.

High-toned and citrusy, this brisk riesling has scents of lime and passionfruit. The flavors add a savory note, like freshly baked bread, finishing on lime and Meyer lemon.
This semi-dry Riesling is a classic, with a gorgeous lime cordial and petroleum nose topped off by delicate notes of white flowers. Itrsquo;s light-bodied and crisp, with good purity of fruit and a medium finish of minerals, fresia and white cherries. Try with cod in a Japanese preparation.
This lively Riesling offers aromas of citrus, apricot and honey, followed by layers of white fruit, spice and pepper. The wine has a slightly sweet fruity character but itrsquo;s balanced by acid and minerals. The fun but impressive Riesling.
Fresh, with a bracing edge to the lime, green apple and chamomile hints. Therersquo;s good cut on the finish. Drink now.
This bright, sunny wine has a scent of golden wheat and ripe apples, as well as a hint of green herb that keeps it savory. The flavors are lifted and bright, the texture firm with a talc like edge to support weisswurst and roast fingerling potatoes.
Lovely peach and spricot aromas and flavors highlight this spauml;tlese-style Riesling, which offers a rich texture and a cleaning finish that balances the hint of sweetness. Drink now.
Slate and peach flavors develop in the glass. The wine is soft, not as firm and structured as Riesling can be, but well chilled, it will make a refreshing counterpoint to fish and shellfish.

Why is breastfeeding in public such a big deal? Some people view nursing in public as inappropriate and distasteful. Nevertheless, most of these same people would agree that breastfeeding is beneficial to an infant. In fact, the positive outcomes of nursing have been scientifically proven.
According to the National Institutes of Health, breastfeeding is linked to reducing the risk of developing allergies, asthma, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Human milk strengthens a baby's immune system by transferring a mother's antibodies, immune factors, and other nutrients to her child. Furthermore, early skin-to-skin contact has been shown to improve maternal-infant bonding.
So, in a modern society, where the benefits of breastfeeding have been scientifically proven, why does a double standard exist? People want infants to grow up to be strong and healthy, yet are offended by the completely natural process that gets them there. We must not only change the attitude around nursing in public, but also fight the stigmatization of women for the choices they make with their own bodies.
Robyn Roche-Paull has received numerous awards for her book, Breastfeeding in Combat Boots: A Survival Guide to Breastfeeding Successfully While Serving in the Military. The Navy veteran holds Bachelor's degrees in both Nursing and Maternal Child Health and has spent the last decade supporting and educating breastfeeding mothers in uniform.
