captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: good evening. only one case of ebola has been diagnosed in this country, and health health officials are determined to keep it that way. in dallas they are keeping an eye on dozens of people who may have had contact with one patient and so far, they say, none is showing any symptoms. four of his relatives have been confined to their home by court order after they refused a request to stay home. we have a series of reports tonight, beginning with manuel bojorquez in dallas. >> reporter: this afternoon, one of four people quarantined at this dallas apartment could be seen stepping out briefly to retrieve food that was delivered. a legal order threatens criminal charges if they leave or have visitors before october 19. also today, parts of the complex were power washed. the ebola patient, thomas eric duncan, became violently ill here sunday.
wilfored smallwood is his half-brother. >> he started getting hot and when he started vomiting and throwing nupt bathroom, so they called the ambulance blans to pick him up. >> reporter: duncan had symptom for four days while he stayed here with relatives, two adults and two children, including smallwood's now-quarantine 21-year-old son. >> when i spoke with him this morning he sounded happy. >> reporter: texas health officials say none of the approximately 100 people who came into direct or indirect contact with duncan have shown symptoms of the ebola virus. still residents like david mbusa are worried. >> this place should be blocked. everybody inside should be screened. >> reporter: you seem to be very upset by all of this. >> i'm upset completely. i don't know what's going on. >> reporter: sally nuran is the property manager. are you confident authorities are doing enough? >> i'm very confident about it, and they are doing their job. they have been in and out. >> reporter: the four dallas schools attended by children who had contact with duncan were
disinfected overnight as a precaution. aattendance dropped by 10% despite ashurpses students are safe. >> how do we know that for sure? how do we know they're telling the truth about who they've come in contact with. >> reporter: duncan remains in serious condition in an isolation unit here at texas health presbyterian hospital. scott, officials here are still reviewing why the sick man was initially allowed to leave the hospital after telling a nurse he had been cowest africa, going home for two days before returning by ambulance. >> pelley: manuel, thank you. duncan arrived in the united states 12 days ago from liberia. we asked debora patta to trace his steps. >> reporter: thomas eric duncan lived in this neighborhood of tin-roofed homes. it is here that he rented a room from the williams family and rushed to help when their heavily pregnant dr. marthalene convulsed with crippling stomach pains. duncan and her brother, sonny boy, rushed her to the nearest clinic but there was no room.
marthalene died on september 16. her stunned family got more bad news when sonny boy died yesterday. another neighbor was carried away on a stretcher. resident nora gleyah said it was only then that they realized the pregnant woman had ebola. duncan worked for a delivery company in monrovia. the manager there told us that duncan resigned abruptly on september 4. he was constantly talking about his son who lived in the united states and planned to travel there. all passengers leaving liberia are screened for fever at the airport. duncan had none. he also filled out a health form saying he'd had no contact with anyone with ebola. today, liberiaian officials accused him of lying and say they will prosecute him. liberia's president ellen johnson sirleaf said she was angry and saddened by duncan. >> but the fact that he knew and he left the country is
unpardonable, quite frankly. i just hope that nobody else gets infected. fortunately, he's in the united states where medical care, you know, is very good. >> reporter: strong words from the president, but it is still unclear whether duncan knew he'd been exposed to ebola when he got on a plane to the u.s. a member of duncan's family in liberia told us he never knew the pregnant woman had the disease and that he simply took her to the nearest clinic, not one that specialized in treating ebola. >> pelley: debora patta reporting for us tonight from johannas berg, south africa. debora, thanks. many people are asking how ebola is spread and what happens in the unlikely event that they get it? dr. jon lapook has some answers. >> reporter: the disease can be transmitted when a patient's body fluids, like urine, vomit, blood, or sweat, come in direct contact with someone's broken skin or mucous membranes such as the lining of the nose, mouth,
or eyes. as the ebola spreads in the body, it attacks the immune system and causes massive inflammation that can lead to damage of the lining of blood cells and organ failure. ebola is not spread through the air. the c.d.c. says there is high risk for exposure when someone has contact with blood or body fluids without appropriate important protective gear. low-risk exposure includes someone in the same household with a patient or someone who is closer than three feet to the patient for a prolonged period and not wearing protective clothing. shaking hands without protective is considering a low-risk exposure. the c.d.c. says someone who walks by a patient's room is not at risk. >> pelley: doctor, you said in your story a person within three feet might be able to contract the virus. how would that happen? >> reporter: well, they're still considered low risk but theoretically you could spit on somebody who is so close and it could get in your mouth and your nose and your eyes and it could get that way. but it is not spread through the
air. the c.d.c. keeps saying that, and if it were like the flu, there would be tens of millions of people who have it. >> pelley: does the virus linger on things like door handles? >> reporter: well, very little information on that. it's interesting in 2000 there was an outbreak of ebola in uganda, and they actually studied that and reassuring is the fact of 33 samples -- and this was from beds and tables and furniture, things like that-- mattresses-- there was no virus except on two samples and those were things with obvious blood. >> pelley: now, in primitive conditions in west africa the death rate is about 50%. would you expect that in the united states? >> reporter: no, and neither would any expert i have spoken to because ebola has not come up against modern medicine yet and people are dying from things we know,000 treat. diarrhea, we can give intravenous fluids and electrolight. if there is problems with the kidney failing we can give dialysis and things like that. we know how to treat a lot of the problems and ebola has never
seen that kind of modern treatment before. >> pelley: dr. jon lapook, thanks, doc. if you have more questions about ebola you can send them to dr. jon lapook at our facebook page. tonight, cbs news is investigating one of the largest auto recalls in history. 11 million vehicles whose airbags can cause serious injuries. jeff glor met one of the victi victims. >> reporter: stephanie erdman's life changed forever in september of last year. she was involved in a collision in this honda civic in dustin, florida. instead of an airbagging saving her, it nearly killed her. >> instant blindness on my right side followed by gushing blood. it was terrifying. i-- i thought i was going to bleed out at first. >> reporter: the airbag exploded and sent shrapnel into her face. when you see picture, some people wonder how you survived that. >> yes. >> reporter: do you wonder how you survived? >> absolutely. i'm-- i was one of the lucky ones. >> reporter: at least two
people have died. an 18-year-old in oklahoma and a mother of three in virginia when the airbags didn't perform as designed. a corner's report in california links a third death. a government database shows 100 people have been reported being hurt all by airbags manufactured by the takata coarkz in japan. >> this is one of the deadliest defects that we've ever seen, yet 10 years later we're just beginning to get to the bottom of it. >> reporter: documents filed with the national highway traffic safety administration, or nits ashows honda, the biggest buyer of it, akata airbags first learned about an exploding airbag in 2004. they recalled about 4,000 cars in 2008. the recalls have now reached 11 million vehicles. at least nine carmakers are currently included but the recalls are mostly regional, covering up to nine states and two u.s. territorys. that's because takata believes the explosions are more likely
to happen in humid climates when moisture gets into the system. why not recall these vehicles in every single state? >> money. >> reporter: and why does n.h.t.s.a. accept that? >> it's a frustration to us. how in the world can you approve a geographic recall that doesn't include the two states where people have been killed? >> reporter: in a statement to cbs news, takata says, "we fully recognize that one incident is one too many which is why our products are subject to extensive testing. we are constantly investing in and examining ways to improve." stephanie erdman has spent the past year, helped by her family, in and out of reconstructive surgeries. what's it been like for your family? >> tough. and-- they-- they try to be strong for me, and i see it but you can tell. any time i talk about it-- and i try to talk about it all the time because it helps me-- that
it hurts them. >> reporter: erdman told us she is suing honda. honda would not comment on her case but told us: scott, other carmakers say they're following the recommendations of n.h.t.s.a. >> pelley: jeff, thank you very much. today, america's largest bank said that hackers broke into its computers and stole personal information of 76 million households and 7 million small businesses. names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses. but jpmorgan chase says there is no evidence the thieves got into account numbers, passwords, social security numbers, or date of birth. we have been reminded again of the dangers that are possible in football, and not just the pros and college. a high school player on long island, new york, suffered a
head injury yesterday and died. he is the third high school player to die in the past week. don dahler tells us what happened. >> reporter: varsity lineman tom cutinella took a hard hit during an afternoon game. the 16-year-old underwent emergency surgery but doctors were unable to save him. dan holtzman was his principal. >> a lot of crying, a lot of hugging, a lot of questions, a lot of shock. >> reporter: deaths among the nation's estimated one million high school football players are rare. last season, nationwide, six high school players died of head trauma. but head injuries among amateurs are not rare. all football players, including high schoolers, have a 75% chance of suffering a concussion. between 136,000 and 300,000 sustain one each year. 34% of college players have suffered a concussion, 20% have had more than one. even the very young are not immune. a virginia tech study of seven-
to eight-year-olds showed them receiving hits of 80 gs, the same force dealt by college players. parents are taking notice. between 2008 and 2012, youth participation in the sport was down 5.4%. >> everybody on your pads, even down there. >> reporter: bret strachan coaches youth football in maryland. even though he believes football is safe, he's having a hard time fielding a full team. >> our numbers are down. the league is reduced from 17, we're down now to five teams. >> reporter: chris nowinski, head of concussion research for the sports legacy institute, says that's not necessarily a bad thing. do you think concussions are an existential threat to the sport of football? >> i do think parents need to think long and hard about when they introduce their son to tackle football because the younger you start, the more years they'll play, the more concussions they'll have and the worse off you'll be. you don't need to start young to learn those skills so the cost-benefit especially when
they're young needs to be evaluate want. >> reporter: scott, we should note that players in other youth sports, including soccer and hockey, also get concussions. >> pelley: don, thank you. evidence ignored for decades is suddenly being used to catch serial rapists. and high-tech equipment brings us into an erupting volcano when the cbs evening news continues.
>> >> pelley: it is shocking that just 3% of rapists in america ever serve time. 3%. we reported five years ago that investigators often ignore d.n.a. evidence collected from victims in what is known as a rape kit. thousand of these rape kits have gathered dust for years. stories, such as ours, persuaded some police departments to begin testing them, and nancy cordes tells us what happened next. >> reporter: charles steel raped at least four cleveland women in the mid-90s. one was at a gas station when he walked up. >> and i looked up, and the next thing i know, i have a gun pointing at me. >> reporter: but this survivor's case, and all the others, went unsolved for 20 years because police never tested the d.n.a. rape kits that were administered when they were attacked. when cbs asked the cleveland police department back in two 9 how many untested rape kit were
sitting on their shelves, a lieutenant told us he didn't know and wouldn't count. >> we realize what our mistakes were. we're not going to make them again. >> reporter: tim mcginty is the triewrt. when he took office three years ago he responded to a call from ohio's attorney general to start testing all rape kits with state funds. 4200 kits in cleveland alone. the results astonished everyone. >> the rape kits are the gold mine for law enforcement. >> reporter: suddenly, investigators were tying individual suspects to five, six, sometimes seven rapes, dating back decades. >> they don't stop raping until they're dead. or they're physically unable to get out of bed and go attack somebody. so the sooner you empty your shelves of the rape kits, the sooner you can take the serial offenders and serial rapists off the streets. >> reporter: 200 of them have already been indicted. almost a third are accused
serial rapists, and that's just from testing half of cleveland's backlog. you're using these kid kitt to solve far more than just rapes. >> absolute. >> reporter: lieutenant james mcpike says cleveland's violent crime rate is already on the decline. >> if you can take 1,000 guys off the street, these are 1,000 guys that are no longer going to commit crimes. >> reporter:and yet many other major cities are moving slowly, if at all. according to the joyful hearts foundation, las vegas tests only 16% of ther kids, and tulsa, oklahoma, is seeking funding to test 3400 kits. that's just a sasm ling so there's a lot of d.n.a. sasm ling out there, scott, that could be used to catch rapists ling out there, scott, that could be used to catch rapists but isn't. you've come to realize... >> pelley: and we'll be right back. [ starter ] ready! [ starting gun goes off ] [ male announcer ] it's less of a race... yeah! [ male announcer ] and more of a journey. and that keeps you going strong.

shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. >> pelley: tonight we have a rare look into an erupting volcano. photographer eric cheng placed a gopro camera on a drone and sent it over the bardarbunga volcano in iceland. smoke and lava shot thousands of feet into the air. the drone got so close, the camera melted, but the memory card survived. turns out, volcanic activity likely created the lunar basin that we know as the "man in the moon." scientists have long believed that an asteroid was responsible, but new data from a nasa spaced craft strongly suggests that the basin was formed by a large plume of magma rising from the moon's interior.
back on earth, we got a lesson in the bare necessities of life. the washington state department of fish and wildlife posted this video. apparently, there are no back scratchers available in the woods of okanogan county, so the bear improvised. in a moment, a new memorial in washington, the first to honor america's wounded warriors. a hi.ty? i'm new ensure active clear protein drink. clear huh? my nutritional standards are high. i'm not juice or fancy water. i've got 8 grams of protein.

understands or understood what disabled veterans go through. >> reporter: the name etched in granite-- american veterans disabled for life-- makes a point the rest of us are liable to forget. >> when the last battle is fought, the last soldier comes home, the war is over, for millions of disabled veterans, it's not over. and they're going to live the rest of their life continuing to deal with the effects of that war. >> reporter: some disabled veterans like bob dole, severely wounded in world war ii, are well known. first, as a united states senator, and then as candidate for president. now his words, "it's faith that givesut strength to endure," are preserved on one of the memorials glass panels. right next to him is joe bacani. >> that's humbling because i-- i've always seen myself as just, like, a normal, average joe. >> reporter: he was shot through the pelvis by a sniper in iraq. do you think that picture is a
window into your soul? >> i hope so. and i hope people can see beyond the wheelchair that there's still a young man in there with many more years left to live to make something out of himself. >> reporter: physical therapy enabled average joe bacani to get out of that wheelchair. he is now a junior at columbia university and, yes, he will be at the dedication on sunday. his picture will be there forever, making sure the rest of us never forget. david martin, cbs news, at the american veterans disabled for life memorial. >> pelley: and that's the cbs evening news for tonight. for all of us at cbs news all around the world, good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org
"new jersey housewives" couple sentenced to prison today. >> we're with joe and teresa and their co-star as the judge makes things very real for the troubled reality show pair. >> how are you feeling? >> let's just say it. >> she really threw the book at him. >> we'll tell you how prison-bound teresa was partially spared for the sake of their four young daughters. >> meanwhile, it's happy news for mila and ashton -- a baby girl. we're at the hospital as hollywood's baby boom continues. >> when you're in the public eye, it seems like you're pregnant for three years. and bradley cooper bulked up for "american sniper." >> we have a new scene to show you and it is intense. and "walking dead" fans are going to love this.

Q: Proof that rational sequence converges to irrational number Let $a>0$ be a real number and consider the sequence $x_{n+1}=(x_n^2+a)/2x_n$.
I have already shown that this sequence is monotonic decreasing and thus convergent, now I have to show that $(\lim x_n)^2 = a$ and thus exhibit the existence of a positive square root of $a$. (because we took $x_1 > 0$

A: You've done the hardest part. Let $\displaystyle\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}x_n=x$. Rearranging the recursion formula gives
$$2\cdot x_n\cdot x_{n+1}=x_n^2+a$$
Taking limits and noting that $\displaystyle \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}x_n=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}x_{n+1}=x$, we have
$$
2x^2=x^2+a
$$
so $x^2=a$.

A: If $x_n\to x$, then
$$
x_{n+1}=\frac{x_n^2+a}{2x_n} \to a
$$
as well. But
$$
\frac{x_n^2+a}{2x_n} \to \frac{x^2+a}{2x}.
$$
Thus the limit $x$ satisfies the equation
$$
x=\frac{x^2+a}{2x} \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad 2x^2=x^2+a
\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad x^2=a \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad x=\pm \sqrt{a}.
$$
But as the sequence has terms terms it can not converge to a negative number. Thus $x_n\to\sqrt{a}$.

A: The recursive definition can be solved exactly. Write a^2 instead of a and consider the sequence $(x(n)+a))/(x(n)-a)$.
Then $(x(n)+a)/(x(n)-a) =
= (.5*x(n-1)+.5*a^2/x(n-1)+a)/(.5*x(n-1)+.5*a^2/x(n-1)-a) =
= (x(n-1)^2+2*a*x(n-1)+a^2)/(x(n-1)^2-2*a*x(n-1)+a^2) =
= ((x(n-1)+a)/(x(n-1)-a))^2 =$
Thus $(x(n)+a)/(x(n)-a) = ((x(0)+a)/(x(0)-a))^{(2^n)}$.
This proves (very) rapid convergence to +a whenever $|x(0)-a)|<|x(0)+a)|$ and to -a whenever$|x(0)+a)|<|x(0)-a)|$. This holds even when a is complex and complex sequences are considered. You could work out, for instance, the case of a purely imaginary root and real starter $x(0)$...
PS: This works only in this (Babylonian) case.

Patrons and musicians help select new maestro for Sunriver Music Festival
One of the highlights of the recently completed 44th summer season of Sunriver Music Festival was 'The Maestro in Action,' experiencing the two final candidates for Artistic Director, Kelly Kuo and Brett Mitchell, conduct the Festival Orchestra. Concert attendees and musicians were invited to share comments and evaluations after hearing these talented leaders perform.
"This wasn't a competition," explains Executive Director Meagan Iverson. "It was an extraordinary opportunity to see two acclaimed conductors shine and for everyone to be involved in the selection process."
Iverson adds that the Board of Trustees received hundreds of helpful evaluations submitted by patrons and musicians. Here's just a sampling:
"Both conductors were very well prepared and chose thoughtful and interesting programs."
"The board is faced with the luxurious and challenging situation of having two wonderful finalists, each with different strengths. It's comforting that you can't go wrong either way."
"Kelly Kuo's musicality, technique, rapport with the musicians and audience, humility and thoughtfulness, and clear commitment to education are inspiring. I feel fortunate to work with him and it's clear he's a rising star."
"Brett Mitchell is a high-level conductor with very good conducting technique, rehearsal technique, big personality, very good. Keeping interest and energy levels high are Maestro Mitchell's strongest qualities as a conductor, and he has many more."
"Kelly Kuo came to every rehearsal with wonderful musical ideas and collaborated with the featured soloists, orchestral soloists, and the rest of the musicians. He was a great advocate for us musicians when things got tough, he showed real grace under pressure. He is also an exceptional musician and artist to his core."
"Brett Mitchell is an effective musical leader. His conducting was very clear and did not get in the way of our ability to concentrate. Players were led by someone who understands what conducting is about and who therefore makes our task easier. He is extremely musical, gives excellent cues, is great with the audience and has a very polished approach."
After thoughtful review and intense consideration, the Board is honored to announce the Festival's new Artistic Director, Brett Mitchell.
Born in Seattle and currently based in Denver, Mitchell holds degrees in conducting from the University of Texas at Austin and composition from Western Washington University. He served as Music Director of the Colorado Symphony from 2017 to 2021. He previously held conducting positions with The Cleveland Orchestra, Houston Symphony, and Orchestre National de France. He is in constant demand as a guest conductor and has led the principal orchestras of Dallas, Detroit, Fort Worth, Houston, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and San Francisco to name just a few.
"We don't name orchestras after conductors. We name them after communities," explains Maestro Mitchell. "That's because festivals reflect their communities. I am thrilled that I will be able to make a contribution to this festival that has been a part of the Central Oregon community for 44 years." Mitchell has accepted a 3-year contract with Sunriver Music Festival which includes a commitment for quarterly visits to the region for ongoing connection with the community and the Festival's thriving music education programs.
Hailed for presenting engaging, in-depth explorations of thoughtfully curated programs, BRETT MITCHELL served as Music Director of the Colorado Symphony from 2017 to 2021. Throughout his Colorado tenure, he led the orchestra in the majority of its classical performances, as well as a wide variety of special programs featuring such guest artists as Renée Fleming, Yo-Yo Ma, and Itzhak Perlman. He previously held conducting positions with The Cleveland Orchestra, Houston Symphony, and Orchestre National de France.
Mr. Mitchell is also in consistent demand as a guest conductor, leading in recent seasons the principal orchestras of Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Fort Worth, Houston, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Minnesota, National, North Carolina, Oregon, Rochester, Saint Paul, San Antonio, San Francisco, and Vancouver; the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl; and a two-week tour with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
Born in Seattle in 1979, Mr. Mitchell holds degrees in conducting from the University of Texas at Austin and composition from Western Washington University. His two principal professional mentors were Kurt Masur and Lorin Maazel.

Great music, beer and food at Warwickshire's own mini 'Glasto' in the lovely south Warwickshire countryside!
Kineton Music Festival is gearing up for its sixth annual charity fund raising festival after five great years which have seen the festival grow impressively in attendance and establish itself as a key event, both for the Kineton and the surrounding towns and villages. This year's festival takes place on Saturday 16th June 2018 at the Kineton Sports and Social Club, with a free eve of festival event taking place on Friday 15th June.
Ticket proceeds go to our three nominated charities, Myton Hospice, Katharine House Hospice and Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance. To date, we have raised £44,000 for them and would like to make raise this to more than £10,000 this year with your help.
Disabled Facilities: Car parking will be provided on a firm, level surface. Accessible toilets will be provided.
This was my first visit to KMF and I've already booked to travel over to the next one from my home in France in June 2018. Fantastic music (lots of great bands), organisation, food, beer, atmosphere etc throughout the weekend. Even the weather was excellent ! Didn't try the campsite as I stayed with family close by but it looked great and the campers I chatted to were obviously happy.
Our second year at the music festival and another brilliant one.
We camped again this year and the organisation was great. Good to see a road marked out this year.
The toilets were kept so clean which was great.
The music was great a lovely variety.
Lots of great stalls and a good selection of food.
I have to shout out to the bouncy castle. £3 for all day access was fantastic and the kids had a great time bouncing and sliding.
Fabulous as ever, brilliant food this year all well priced and plenty of it! Great breakfasts both mornings. Children really enjoyed the improved activities and although I feel the music wasn't as good as last year the whole event was a great success. Well done to all the volunteers you make an event like this brilliant.
Any musical event brings people together and any that raise funds for local good causes are spot on in my book. Good luck.

Washington Inside-Out With Kids: A Crabby Detour to Annapolis
ByChristopher Elliott
National Geographic Traveler columnist Christopher Elliott recently visited the Washington area with his family. His three-part series, Inside-Out With Kids, explores the DC region from different perspectives. Today they make a detour to Annapolis, Md. Here's the previous story.
Every morning in Annapolis should start like this: You drop by Chick & Ruth's Delly at around 8 a.m., order the crab omelet, and then watch a who's who of Maryland politicians, lobbyists and Naval officers say the pledge of allegiance, which is a longtime tradition here. Then you walk down Main Street and get on with your day.
Annapolis may look like just another quiet state capital, but today we would experience this historic town as never before. Which is saying a lot: We used to live just across the creek, in Eastport, years ago, and we thought we knew Annapolis. We didn't.
With three kids in tow, we headed to the US Naval Academy Museum
on the Naval Academy yard. It's a collection of exhibits on the history and traditions of the Navy, from its founding to the Space Age.
Fortunately, we have two boys, both of whom love anything combustible.
They headed straight to the rocket display, dragging their baby sister along.
Turns out the museum was too big to see everything in the short time we had, and after admiring the model ships and antique maps, we headed to the visitors center to connect with a tour of the Academy.
The tour was led by an affable retired Navy Captain who used to be the Academy's director of admissions. The academy is a fascinating institution, rich in history and tradition, but young kids have a limited appreciation for these things.
On the day of our visit, we were experiencing record heat and the kids were starting to feel a little crabby. Good thing we ducked into some of the air-conditioned buildings, which, in addition to being impressive, were significantly cooler. The boys — Class of '18 and Class of '20, I joked with the Captain — were mesmerized by anything that goes boom, which there were plenty of, including a World War II torpedo on display.
The other interesting thing you'll see on the yard during the summer are the Plebes, which are the equivalent of college freshmen, who are being introduced to the Navy way of life. That means being run around in the oppressive heat, standing in formation and, for reasons that aren't entirely clear to me, doing a lot of yelling.
After a quick boat taxi ride across the river, we had lunch at the new Boatyard Bar and Grill which features even more seafood as well as the omnipresent crab dishes that we had come to expect from Annapolis. Then we caught a sightseeing tour of Annapolis Harbor on the Harbor Queen which offered a narrated cruise of historic Annapolis Harbor and the banks of the U.S. Naval Academy. We had done this tour before, years ago, but never with kids, and never completely sober. I liked it this way much better.
Our whirlwind tour terminated at the William Paca House and Garden late in the afternoon. By this time, the kids had reached their maximum crabbiness, from being shown around town all day, so we were not the best-behaved guests. Still, we managed to get a few smiles from the kids (see picture, above) at this beautifully-restored historical landmark, which includes a fully-restored 18th Century home and an immaculate English garden.
If you've ever been curious about how people lived in colonial days, the Paca House is definitely worth seeing. My oldest son, Aren, and I toured the house while our two youngest kids, Iden and Erysee, played in the garden under their mother's watchful eye. Then we dropped by the Federal House Bar & Grille for a bite to eat before returning to Washington.
Within a few hours of getting back to our hotel, the kids' crabbiness had worn off, but the adults we were trying to process what had just happened.
We'd seen a town we thought we knew from a completely different perspective — that of a well-informed tourist, thanks in no small part to the sage advice of our friends at Convention & Visitors Bureau. We wanted to come back the next day, but alas, we already had plans.
Next time, we'll give ourselves more than a day.

The best early cucumber varieties
Growing early crops allows you to get the first harvest in the shortest possible time. Early cucumber varieties are greenhouse or for open ground. There are also self-pollinated species. This article will describe the most popular varieties with excellent taste characteristics.
Best early grades
The best varieties are distinguished by stable yield, high commodity qualities, and the shortest ripening periods. These are fairly well-known cucumber species that many have heard about.
Photo cucumber Kid and Kustovoy photo
"Kid" - superearly shrub variety, which gives the first harvest in just 41-43 days from the date of emergence. The bush grows up to 50 cm in height, the garter is optional. Zelentsy grow up to 10 cm and weighs 80-90 g, dark green color. Productivity is stable - 2-2.5 kg / bush. Suitable for salting and fresh consumption.
"Kustovoy" ripens on average for 45-50 days. It has a female type of flowering. It can be grown both in greenhouses and in the open field, but the latter option is preferred. The plant is compact, whip branching is not strong. Zelentsy are dark green, elongated, weighing up to 90 g and a length of about 11 cm. The yield per square is about 12 kg.
Important! To get an early crop of cucumbers, you need not only to purchase an early variety, but also to produce timely sowing - in April.
"Super Mini" gives fruits for 40-45 days from emergence of shoots. It is a bee-pollinating plant, spindle-like, grown in open ground or greenhouse. Zelentsy have large bumps, dark green skin. Thorns are black. Resists blotch and powdery mildew. Delicious taste, without bitterness, when biting cucumber crunches. Suitable for canning or pickling.
Photo varieties Masha F1 and Snack Bar
"Masha F1" - ultra-fast hybrid. The first fruits ripen in 35-40 days. The green stuff is lumpy, small, neat, regular shape. Resistant to many diseases and temperature extremes. Characterized by excellent taste, versatile use. It is grown in open and closed ground.
"Snack Bar" ripens in 45-48 days. It is grown in open and closed ground. Fruits up to 14 cm with large tubercles, weight 100-115 g, bright green, spikes black. Use is universal. It is resistant to olive blotch and temperature extremes.
This also includes such varieties as: "Chinese snake", "Cask of pickling", "Madame F1".
Early varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses
Potato cultivar Impala
Quail food
Open ground cucumber varieties
Feed Yeast
Greenhouse early cucumber varieties require certain growing conditions. As a rule, lighting does not play a key role for them, but high humidity and temperature are very important. Also for such varieties it is worth using only high-quality, fertilized soil and comfortable greenhouses, where windows can open, because not all of them are self-pollinated!
Photo cucumbers Orlik F1 and pickling
"Orlik F1" gives fruits for 47-50 days from emergence of shoots. Female bloom hybrid - parthenocarpic. Grown in film greenhouses. Fruits up to 16 cm, weigh 120-150g. Hillocks are pronounced, spikes white. Taste without bitterness. It is resistant to powdery mildew, downy mildew and root rot. Productivity from a plant to 8 kg.
Interesting! The first in the history of greenhouses were built in ancient Rome for the emperor Tiberius. The reason for their invention was that the great pontiff wanted to eat fresh cucumbers daily.
"Pickled" recommended for greenhouses. Ripens in 38-41 day. Fruits are cylindrical, up to 12 cm, weighing about 130 g. The rind is green, tuberculate with white spikes. There is resistance to true and downy mildew, root rot and olive spot.
"Zozulya F1" - Parthenocarpic hybrid. Gives fruit for 40-45 days. It is grown mainly in spring greenhouses. Fruits are lumpy, with white thorns. The length of green leaves is from 14 to 22 cm. The crop ripens at the same time. Immune to olive spot, but afraid of root rot.
Early varieties of cucumbers for open ground
Photos varieties Khutorok and Anulka F1
In the open ground, early varieties of cucumbers are grown since ancient times and quite successfully, so it is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance. The main thing is to choose the right place and provide cucumbers with full watering and nutrition (top dressing).
"Little Farm" - bee-pollinating hybrid with female bloom. Cucumbers without bitterness, very tasty, universal type. The hybrid is resistant to diseases, greens have a presentation, so it can be grown for sale. Productivity is high.
"Anulka F1" - gherkin. Ripens in 45-55 days. Growing bush up to a meter in height. Cucumbers up to 8 cm, weight 60g, tuberculate. The peel is light green, has a neutral taste, without bitterness. Used for appetizers, salads, canning and pickling. Resistant to common diseases. Productivity about 5 kg / m. sq.
Interesting! The homeland of cucumbers are subtropical and tropical regions of India. At the foot of the Himalayas, this culture in the wild grows today.
"Cellar" matures in 43-48 days, bee-pollinated. It is grown in open field. Film cover is allowed only if it is temporary. Fruits are cylindrical, up to 100 g, about 10 cm long. The tubercles are large, the color is green in a white stripe, the thorns are brown. Use Zelentsy in preservation, fresh. Productivity from a square to 17 kg!
"F1 road" grown exclusively in open field. Zelentsy to 100 g, length within 10 cm. Has large tubercles, thorns of brown color, color of a peel dark green with light strips. Taste without bitterness. There is resistance to downy mildew and adverse growing conditions. Up to 5.5 kg of cucumbers can be removed from one plant per season.
Partenocarpic early cucumber varieties
Dutch radish varieties
Astilbe flower
Durum Wheat
Breed description Peking duck
Self-pollinated (parthenocarpic) early cucumber varieties are distinguished by the fact that they do not need to be pollinated by insects. Such early varieties of cucumbers are grown without problems in greenhouses and in the open field while observing the rules of care.

Iran Still Selling Oil Despite Imminent Sanctions
The Trump administration has cut down Iran's oil exports more quickly than many expected, but just days before a White House deadline, it is still a long way from achieving its stated goal of zeroing out Iranian oil sales.
Iran's oil exports have fallen by about a third in the five months through September. They tumbled by about 800,000 barrels per day since President Donald Trump announced in May that he was abandoning a nuclear accord with Iran and restoring wide-ranging sanctions on its economy, CNBC reported.
Still, Iran was selling roughly 1.7 million to 1.9 million barrels per day of crude oil and condensate— a super light form of oil— in September, according to estimates by investment banks, tanker-tracking firms and the International Energy Agency.
That is down from a 2018 peak of 2.7 million bpd in June, according to ClipperData. In the first six months of the year, Iran was averaging 2.4 million bpd in shipments, S&P Global Platts Analytics estimates.
Some of Iran's biggest customers, including China and India, are expected to keep buying its barrels. The Trump administration has also indicated it will allow some countries to continue importing limited quantities of Iranian oil, but officials have not disclosed which nations will receive waivers.
Along with China and India, countries like Turkey, Italy, Spain, Greece and Japan have kept purchasing Iran's crude. But analysts widely expect the losses to balloon to between 1 million and 1.5 million bpd by the end of the year.
"Iranian crude and condensate exports look set to finish October around a similar level to September, although we expect volumes to drop off next month as sanctions kick in and buyers dissipate," said Matt Smith, director of commodity research at ClipperData, a firm that tracks tanker traffic.
Petro-Logistics, another tanker-tracking firm, says Iran probably lost more than 100,000 barrels per day in October.

Zero Carbon mock wedding protests University ties to Shell
The stunt took place outside a meeting of the University Finance and Business Committee
A mock wedding was held between Cambridge and Shell.Mathias Gjesdal Hammer

Wednesday February 14 2018, 1:10pm
Cambridge Zero Carbon Society held a Valentine's-day-themed demonstration this morning to call for more transparency in University investments, just outside the building where representatives from the University's business and finance departments were meeting.
In the courtyard of the University's Old Schools offices, one member, dressed as a vicar, performed a mock-wedding ceremony between a bride sporting a Cambridge crest and a groom wearing a Shell logo. He began the ceremony by announcing, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness this blessed union between Mr Shell and Miss Cambridge."
In his speech, the 'vicar' called attention to the University's hiring of David Hughes as its new Director of Finance – a former employee of the multinational oil company Shell.
He added: "You'd think a dowry payment was a thing of the past, but the University recently received a donation of £250,000 from Shell."
This figure appears to be an incorrect reference to a recent $240,000 donation by Shell to support the Shell Laboratory for Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.
MP backs Zero Carbon divestment calls as report day looms for University
Following the ceremony, the protesters then pulled out loudhailers and began chanting "Cambridge, dump carbon, divest", before marching out of the courtyard and into the streets outside.
Unlike previous demonstrations held by the group, the action was not disturbed by security staff.
Since it was set up in 2015, the Zero Carbon Society has protested vigorously over Hughes' appointment, as part of its wider campaign to make the University withdraw its investments from the oil industry.
In May 2017, the University set up a working group to investigate the possibility of divestment, after a grace on the matter was passed by Regent's House in January last year.
Commenting on the ongoing meeting between the University's finance and business departments inside the Old Schools offices, Zero Carbon member Rory Golding told Varsity: "We thought, while they were in session, they would then be able to realise that we are here, we do mean business and we want them to go fossil-free."
In a statement, a spokesperson for the society, Rob Day, said: "The acceptance of donations from the Fossil Fuel Industry and the appointment of someone who owes their entire career and livelihood to an industry that has directly harmed both the planet and the lives of individuals, is a conflict of interest."
The protest was one of a number of recent actions taken by Zero Carbon, which include staging a mock crime-scene investigation outside the University Investment Office

This is the second part of the Andiamo reference manual. It describes the installation process, overview of the interface and configuration files.
I couple of weeks ago I started coding up in Processing a tool for live visual performance using real-time video effects, drawing, animation and computer vision techniques. The name of this tool is ANDIAMO, which is an Spanish acronym for ANimador DIgital Analógico MOdular (Digital-Analog Modular Animator).
This release of GLGraphics introduces a new and improved way of handling the parameters of the texture filters. Before 0.8.9, the parameters had to be passed to the filter with a GLTextureFilterParameters object. This object allowed only a predetermined number of parameters to be set in the shader. Furthermore, the name of these parameters was hard-coded, for example a float parameter in the shader had to be called par_flt1, for instance, in order to be recognized by the filter.
I just released a new version of the GLGraphics library for Processing (0.8), which is available for download at the sourceforge page.
This version finally includes all the features originally planned for the library (off-screen rendering, floating-point textures, gpgpu calculations such as particle systems). From now on until the 1.0 release, the idea is to do only bugfixes and minor improvements.
There is also a website for the library.

Yusef Sayed
Laura Cumming's mother was kidnapped as a child from the beach at Chapel St Leonards. The incident is at the centre of a remarkable new book, which blends mystery, memoir, art criticism and Lincolnshire history. Interview by Yusef Sayed.
It is a story that will unsettle any reader. Betty Elston, aged 3, was at the beach with her mother, Veda, on an autumn afternoon in 1929. From there she was taken, when Veda's attention was elsewhere.
Five days later, Betty was found unharmed in nearby Hogsthorpe. Betty had no memory of the incident and only learned of it in 1986, when she received an unexpected letter.
Her daughter, Laura Cumming, now the chief art critic for The Observer, has investigated the event, drawing on family photographs, first hand conversation, and her professional skills, to solve the mystery and reveal the untold history of her family.
"My mother had an extraordinary communication from two people writing to her and failing to say who they were," Cumming recalls.
"They thought my mother would know perfectly well who they were, because they knew perfectly well who she was. That is to say that, even at the age of 60, a lot of people knew who she was and she still didn't.
"I was in my twenties and I was completely riveted by the whole story but also by the idea of her being gone from this beach."
Cumming, who grew up in Edinburgh, had holidayed on the Lincolnshire coast with her parents as a child and had heard stories from her mother over the years but there were significant gaps in the telling.
"She had no memory of being kidnapped. To her this beach was an amazingly beautiful playground. I used to go there as a child, we used to stay at the Vine Hotel. Edinburgh was very cold, but we went to Lincolnshire and it was exotic.
"But when I discovered that she had been taken from this beach, it began to take on a very singular strangeness to me and I began to think, how did they take her off the beach when everything is in such plain sight? I still don't understand the details of it."
Betty, known to her children as Elizabeth, had written an account of her Lincolnshire childhood, given to Laura for her birthday, which captivated her.
"She wrote me this birthday memoir that featured all these characters in the village of Chapel St Leonards in the 20s and 30s. Very much an 'Under Milk Wood' cast, a really beautiful piece of writing.
"But she never got past the age of 13, when the incident on the bus occurred," Cumming adds, referring to another episode in Betty's story, when as a teenager she was approached on the bus by a woman unknown to her.
"It occurred to me that she couldn't go beyond that because she didn't want to. I don't think she could have done all the things she's done and have the life she's had if she had kept returning to the past.
"I'm returning to it because I want to understand. The people in the memoir were people and I wanted to learn more."
Realising that her mother would not undertake to solve the mysteries of her childhood, Cumming set out to delve deeper. She visited the Lincolnshire coast again two years ago, staying in a farmhouse near the beach of Chapel St Leonards and immersed herself in the places that shaped her mother's early experiences. Collecting her own writing, family correspondence and local history, the resulting book, On Chapel Sands, does so much more than seek to solve the beach kidnap.
As its title suggests, referring to that key location, the book not only takes an investigative approach – Cumming using her sharp eye to aid her detective work – but is also essayistic, exploring personal questions about family and secrecy, the contours and character of the Lincolnshire landscape, and the ways in which paintings from the past can richly inform the present.
Many figures from the county's history appear, too, from Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Sir John Franklin, to the local baker, drapers and school teachers familiar to Betty. Cumming scrutinises family photos and famous masterpieces, from Ghirlandaio and Brueghel to Degas, comparing and reflecting, never settling for a single, or simple reading, learning more about her mother's true identity and tracking the shifting emotions she feels towards her grandparents as she learns more. Aware of how the passing years and new revelations inevitably change one's perspective, Cumming's writing is full of generosity.
Returning to the landscape that she was writing about was central to the creative process.
"I had her memoir, I had my writings over many years about her, who I love very dearly, and I had many thoughts about this story. And I told the story, a specific aspect of the story, which is the baker's van, which arrives from the windmill at Hogsthorpe and never stops at her house. I wanted to get to the bottom of this and I saw the thing to do, with my mother's blessing.
"I went to Chapel St Leonards. I took a room in a farm nearby and I spent a long time on the beach. Every day I'd go to the beach and I'd think about this scene.
"I'd go up to the Beacon and I went to the house where my mother lived and I'd have a drink in the Vine. I went round and round. I did the walk from Chapel to Mablethorpe. I did the walk from Chapel to Skegness and I thought about this period in time. And local historians in and around Chapel have done a wonderful job of publishing a lot of beautifully written local history. In Skegness Library you can look up old copies of the Skegness Times. It was very evocative.
"The book came into the form it's in simply from being in the landscape in Lincolnshire. I'd stand on those sands and she was there, my grandfather was there, the Vikings were there. The compression of time was a great advantage for me."
Cumming also hoped to find the windmill in Hogsthorpe, of great significance in Betty's story.
"I spent a lot of time in Hogsthorpe and I could not find the windmill. But a charming man who has a food van at Skegness on the front, he lives there and [his] garden has the rings in it. He let me in. From these relics you evolve your story. Then find photographs."
Cumming's previous books, on a lost Velázquez painting and the art of self-portraiture, seem to be of a piece with On Chapel Sands, recovering objects and people, with Cumming reflecting on her own relationship to her mother and grandparents.
Though the story is one of many twists and extending over many decades, Cumming distils so much into memorable aphorisms throughout: 'Life reproves the imagination: look closer,' she writes. Her similes are suggested by the surrounding environment, too. 'I sieve the evidence like flour,' Cumming writes, once the family relationship to the local millers has been uncovered. The fate of the explorer John Franklin, hindered in frozen seas, is beautifully compared to the way that her 'mother's feelings for her father took years to freeze into fixed aversion, and I wonder now whether they could ever be melted.'
The story may be unique but the themes are universal, with family secrets and estrangement all too common.
"Everyone has a mother, everyone has an uncle who wasn't really their uncle, or whose sister was in fact their mother, or whose grandparents aren't their grandparents. It's completely common. All family photo albums are full of things we don't notice and that's the campaign of the book: look more closely. There's always a figure in the background or someone who is not there. Who's taken the photograph?
"Although this is a very common story about lost identity, I think the conditions in which this occurred, it couldn't happen now, probably. I think that's not a bad thing because the conspiracy of silence I think is what held my mother's life back and gave her this false start."
As Cumming puts it succinctly in the book, 'Suppression thwarts precision.' In the days since publication, readers have already contacted Cumming to share their own stories from the past.
"My mother wrote about the people in Chapel and some of those lovely portraits of characters are in the book and I did slightly hope I would hear from the Parrish family, or the family of Lily Boddice from the draper's store, or somebody from Stow's Stores. And indeed I have now heard from three members of those families.
"One was a sailor who sailed away, like so many people in the book, and he now lives in Nova Scotia. I do know that one other story is coming to me about another sad, dreadful thing that happened on Chapel sands.
"I wanted to celebrate Chapel very much but I think that like every village it has other secrets and I'm not sure all of them are joyful."
On Chapel Sands is published by Chatto and Windus.
