At some point during pregnancy, many women experience some type of sleep problems. In fact it is estimated that about 95% of pregnant women suffer from sleep disturbance. Although insomnia can be all too often and may respond to simple interventions, some women may experience severe insomnia. This can make pregnancy disturbing and even significantly affect their ability to function.
Can Pregnant Women Take Ambien?
The U.S. FDA classifies Ambien and Ambien CR as a Pregnancy Category C medication which means that there is sparse information concerning Ambien use and pregnancy. Pregnant women are highly cautioned in the use of Ambien and other sleep medications during pregnancy. It is recommended that these drugs be used only when the perceived benefits outweigh the potential risks to the unborn child and the pregnancy.
Some animal studies suggest that this drug can cause some adverse effects on the fetus such as problems with bone formation. Ambien is also associated with increased risk for miscarriages. Both negative side effects are especially common in patients taking doses that exceed the recommended maximum dose. However, it should be noted that in these animal studies high doses of Ambien resulted in maternal toxicity such as poor weight gain which could also be associated with the fetal problems.
In most of these animal studies, Ambien has not been linked with birth defects.
A limited number of clinical studies conducted on pregnant women taking Ambien revealed that this medication increases the risk for preterm delivery and delivering low birth weight infants. These studies also confirmed that traces of this medication are passed through the placental barrier. However, another study did not establish any significant relationship between Ambien use and risk of congenital anomalies.
Infants born to pregnant women who have been using Ambien during the last months of pregnancy are at an increased risk of experiencing withdrawal symptoms. In rare cases, newborn infants exhibit respiratory depression.
Can Breastfeeding Women Take Ambien?
The FDA does not recommend use of Ambien while breastfeeding. Meanwhile, the American Academy of Pediatrics considers it as compatible with breastfeeding but recommends careful consideration before use.
In a clinical study conducted on five lactating women, it has found out that low dose of Ambien is excreted in the breast milk. The potential effects of Ambien on nursing infants are not well established and requires more studies.
Although sleep problems are common during pregnancy, there are few guidelines that healthcare providers can use in choosing appropriate interventions. In most cases, improving sleep hygiene, reducing anxiety and stress, and relaxation can help pregnant women have a good night's sleep. As much as possible use of sleep medications should be avoided and must be considered only as the last resort. Usually, insomnia during pregnancy is associated with other underlying anxiety. By addressing this main problem, sleep disturbance may diminish or even resolved.
Discuss with your healthcare provider all possible interventions to manage pregnancy-related sleep problems. Your healthcare provider will consider the potential benefits and risks of Ambien before prescribing this medication.

Home | Forever No More. How Tacoma Maritime Startup Aquagga is Destroying Water Contaminants Once Thought Indestructible
Forever No More. How Tacoma Maritime Startup Aquagga is Destroying Water Contaminants Once Thought Indestructible
The Port of Tacoma Becomes Home to the Future of Maritime Industry Innovation
Leading water treatment startup Aquagga is in the front row at The Port of Tacoma, looking at a global opportunity to do good. "Being in a port as part of the Tacoma Maritime Innovation Incubator is ideal. We're in an industrial location, and we're dealing with an industrial problem," said Brian Pinkard, Co-Founder and CTO at Aquagga.
Pinkard learned to destroy chemical weapons while earning his PhD in mechanical
engineering from the University of Washington. It's a unique skillset helping to
scale the emerging startup's technology which destroys a class of chemical pollutants in our water, known as "forever chemicals." Aquagga's technology, they say, is the only system which completely destroys per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with no toxic byproducts.
The chemicals, which were first produced nearly a century ago and resist
heat, oil, stains and water, are now found in thousands of products from
non-stick pans and raincoats to firefighting foam. But these human-made
chemicals don't stay there. They leach into drinking water and the
environment and can be found in tissues of plants, people, and even
animals as remote as polar bears in the Arctic. Studies show PFAS
causes reproductive, developmental and immunological effects and can
damage the liver and kidneys.
Aquagga's mission goes beyond remediation to put an end to these forever chemicals. "We've brought together scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and inventors on an impact mission to destroy water contaminants," Nigel Sharp, Co-Founder and CEO at Aquagga, said. "We feel a responsibility for the
world. There was a seal on the deck outside our office at the Port the other day; you see animals coexisting in the environment and you care about that."
Aquagga is quickly finding others care about its mission, as funding for its technology accelerates with high-value grants from the Environmental Protection Agency, National Science Foundation and money from investors. The startup has also won multiple environmental awards, including the 2020 Alaska Airlines Environmental Innovation Challenge, for its proprietary bolt-on water treatment platform that destroys PFAS contaminants. Founded in Juneau, Alaska in 2019, the startup's leadership team quickly found its home in Tacoma, which happened to be in Pinkard's backyard. Pinkard is a native South Sounder and graduate of
Puyallup High School. Behind his personal connection to the area, growing his tech company in Tacoma also makes good business sense. "We're being welcomed to the tech and maritime ecosystem here to solve a problem that has global impact," said Pinkard. "We want to put Tacoma on the map as a place where tough tech and deep tech can thrive, and Tacoma has the grittiness to get this done."
Aquagga is a member of the first cohort at the Tacoma Maritime Innovation Incubator, part of Washington State's Maritime Blue initiative to develop maritime business, technology, and practices that promote a sustainable future accelerating economic growth, ecological health, and thriving communities. Nate Tolbert, director of the Tacoma incubator, said, "Tacoma and the Pierce County
innovation ecosystem is a welcoming environment full of start-up founders banding together and putting in the hard work to build our economy and create an incredible place to both live and work."
Aquagga's growing team leverages resources from Maritime Blue and the Tacoma and Pierce County tech community to innovate on its mission, according to Sharp, "The resources Maritime Blue brought us include perfect office and lab facilities along with essential tools and equipment for our projects. We're also tapping into mentors from the University of Washington Tacoma. Everyone is very
While this is just the beginning for Aquagga, Sharp and the team believe they're in the right place to put an end to PFAS. "You look out the window and see industry happening and you can see we as people have a direct impact on the environment, and only we can choose what that impact looks like."

Home *writing #SCBWI UK Big Fat Like Broken Raven Debut Diaries–One Year On Down's syndrome Good Hawk Joseph Elliott Swashbuckle writing Writing for Children writing for young people ya DEBUT DIARIES — ONE YEAR ON Joseph Elliott
DEBUT DIARIES — ONE YEAR ON Joseph Elliott
Welcome to Debut Diaries — One Year On, where SCBWI-BI members share their highs (hopefully lots of these) and lows (hopefully fewer of these) of the post-publication year.
This month, Tizzie welcomes Joseph Elliot, author of The Good Hawk and The Broken Raven, to join her for Afternoon Tea. After a whirlwind post-debut year, it's a chance for Joseph to put his feet up, and share his insights over a cuppa and some carefully chosen sweet treats, which reflect the mood of the months following life after debut.
February 2020 – Vegan Carrot and Apple Cake
Book launch for The Good Hawk at the Jam & Rye
I'm greedy so I had two book launches – one at a swanky cocktail bar in London called the Jam & Rye, and one in Bristol Waterstones, in the store where I used to shop for books as a teenager.
Book launch for The Good Hawk at Bristol Waterstones
Both were incredible events that I thoroughly enjoyed, despite being very nervous beforehand. For the London event, I ordered a giant vegan carrot and apple cake which everyone agreed was the best cake they've ever eaten.
Delicious vegan carrot-and-apple cake for the book launch
My incredibly talented musician friend, Emily Stratford, surprised me by performing a song inspired by the book, which brought me to tears. For the Bristol launch, all my friends and family rallied together to make The Good Hawk-themed cupcakes – you can't have a book launch without cake!
Every book launch needs cupcakes...
A couple of weeks after the launch, I went on a schools' tour to the north of England and Scotland. As an actor, I'm used to performing in front of people, but the thought of standing in front of hundreds of children and talking about my book terrified me. I soon got into the swing of it, though, inspired by the pupil's enthusiasm and their brilliant (and occasionally off-topic!) questions. My advice to anyone going on school visits would be to make a fun PowerPoint presentation with lots of images and interactive elements, to keep the children engaged. They enjoy guessing games, dressing up and role-play, so I always make sure to include elements of those.
March 2020 – A dry Rich Tea biscuit
Lockdown. Bookshops shut, schools closed, events cancelled. Just as momentum felt like it was building, everything slowed right back down again. I lost track of how many school visits and festivals I had cancelled, and each one was a blow, but rather than dwell on what could have been, I poured my efforts into edits for my second novel, The Broken Raven. I was also kept afloat by all the wonderful messages I received about The Good Hawk on social media. I'm on Twitter and Instagram, and view both as work tools, very conscious of the fact that they can easily become an addiction. As long as you feel comfortable being on social media, it can be an amazing way to connect with readers and find a support network of other writers. However, as soon as you find yourself checking notifications multiple times a day, or start comparing your own writing journey with others', it's time to take a break, as it can be extremely detrimental to your mental health.
Joseph Elliott on the BBC's Storytime, reading from The Good Hawk
May 2020 – Walnut, Cacao and Cinnamon Banana Bread
I received the very exciting news that The Good Hawk had been selected to appear Jo Whiley's Storytime on BBC Radio 2. I've been a fan of Jo for years; I was an avid listener of her Radio 1 show when I was a teenager, and have followed her over to Radio 2, where she entertains me every evening as I do the washing-up. Now she was inviting me to be interviewed on her show, as well as to read an extract from the book. It's the most nervous I've been in years, but the interview went really well (we discussed our mutual love of jigsaw puzzles; it was like chatting to an old friend) and I was able to dedicate a song to my grandma, who'd been struggling a bit during lockdown. My grandma stayed up past her usual bedtime of 8 o'clock to listen live, and hearing her name on the radio definitely brought a smile to her face.
You're getting banana bread with this one, as it was that stage of lockdown where *everyone* was making banana bread, just for something to do. I started to go a bit off-piste with mine, chucking in everything I could find. Tasty, though.
January 2021 – Lemon and Ginger Cheesecake
My second novel was released! The Broken Raven, which is the sequel to The Good Hawk, came out on the 7th January 2021.
Celebrating the publication of The Broken Raven
In the midst of another lockdown, the launch was a very different experience, but still enjoyable in its own way. The support I received from both friends and strangers online was totally overwhelming, with everyone rallying together to help spread the word. I celebrated with bucks fizz and a homemade lemon and ginger cheesecake (reverting back the experimental baking phase of Lockdown 1) and had an online book launch attended by over 200 people.
Online book launch for The Broken Raven
Although I would have loved to celebrate with people in person, the online event meant people could join from across the world, and I had attendees from L.A. to Sri Lanka, New York to Tel Aviv. It's strange to think I now have two books out in the world. Hopefully they'll find their audience, even if it takes slightly longer than expected. In the meantime, I'm turning my attentions to the third and final book in the trilogy; I intend to make it an explosive finale.
Originally from Bristol, Joseph Elliott studied English Literature and Drama at the University of Manchester, before doing an MA in performance at Central School of Speech and Drama. For the last twelve years, he has worked as an actor, predominantly in comedy and children's television. He plays 'Cook' in the BAFTA-winning CBeebies series Swashbuckle, and is also the co-creator of CBBC's Big Fat Like. In addition to acting, Joseph worked as a teaching assistant at Westminster Special Schools for over four years. Agatha, the heroine in The Good Hawk, was inspired by some of the incredible children he worked with during that time, particularly those with Down's syndrome. A Sunday Times 'Book of the Year', The Good Hawk was described as 'Thrilling' by the New York Times and 'Gripping' by the Wall Street Journal. Set in a mythical version of Scotland, it is an epic fantasy adventure, which has been compared to Game of Thrones and Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series. His second novel, The Broken Raven, continues the trilogy and was released in January 2021.

We hit a few vineyards to taste and picnic on a beautiful Saturday morning.
Well-preserved ladies wearing lots of gold pour the tastings. Nice single-vineyard pinots and chardonnays. We didn't taste any of the brut stuff, but it looked good. Ended up picking up an interesting Viogner and a Pinot Magnum at (relative) bargain prices. They have a decent picnic area with bocce court and horseshoes. We'll hit that joint again as part of a bike ride through the vineyards.
Totally casual tasting experience. This was one of the most fun stops on the trip. Their wines lack the wow-factor of some of the other stops of the day, but their Syrah stands up pretty well. Most of their grapes are from their property or sourced from very close by. We picked up a Pinot Meuniere which I hadn't tasted before. Also picked up a late-harvest Chardonnay dessert wine that was like golden sunshine in our mouths. Worth a visit with the picnic next time.
Could be called Att-etude for some of the comments of the lady who did our tasting. We had lunch on their patio which was great. They seem to be in transition in their tasting area. We tasted in an area that looked like it was set up as cubicles which was a little weird. They pour their Etude label as well as a label called Fortitude. We tasted both. Fortitude wines were sourced from multi-generational single-family growers in the area: neat idea. We (ok, I) didn't dig the wines too much though. Etude wines are very refined, almost French: super balanced, plenty of mineral notes amongst the fruit. This was the only place we tasted Cabs and they REALLY stood out amongst the rest of the tastings. Especially Etude's St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon: wow, what a great wine. >$100 a bottle at the vineyard was almost worth it too (for a cheapskate like me). We'll go back there once they straighten out their tasting situation.
Lots of fun. This is a Mexican immigrant family-owned vineyard. They're very proud about their story and will tell it to you 3 or 4 times in the course of a tasting. Standouts were: Sauvignon Blanc was great. Pinot Noir was amazing. Really nice Merlot too. The rest was really really good. Good acidity across all their varietals emphasized the bright notes. The grounds were really nice too. Bocce ball court, lots of shaded patio areas to sit and enjoy the day. Worth a visit. Maybe even worth joining the club.

Risk Strategies Acquires Insurance Subsidiaries of Gowrie Holdings, Inc.
BOSTON, Dec. 10, 2019 — Risk Strategies, a privately held, rapidly growing national insurance brokerage and risk management firm, today announced that it has acquired the two subsidiaries of Gowrie Holdings, Inc. (GHI). The acquisitions include both Gowrie Group (Gowrie), a full-service national specialty retail insurance brokerage with an established leadership reputation for niche insurance programs, as well as Maritime Program Group (MPG), a marine-focused managing general agent (MGA). Together, Gowrie and MPG are the largest recreational marine insurance specialists in the U.S. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Founded by Carter Gowrie in 1974, Gowrie today has over 80 employees and five offices in the Northeast. The MPG division has over 60 employees deployed across six offices in the Eastern U.S. As a combined entity, GHI is ranked in the Insurance Journal's Top-100 of U.S. brokers and has accelerated its growth by executing nine acquisitions in the past 10 years, bolstering both its retail and wholesale divisions.
"We're excited to bring Carter and his people on board as we further differentiate Risk Strategies from generalist firms," said John Mina, Risk Strategies' Chief Executive Officer. "Their scale in specialization, both in its retail and wholesale businesses, will add significantly to our current businesses and provide a great base for growth."
In 2016, Risk Strategies acquired Ft. Lauderdale-based marine insurance specialist, Atlass Insurance, and its wholesale group, Atlass Special Risk. As with that acquisition, the purchase of Gowrie Group will add significantly to the capabilities of Risk Strategies' national private client practice, while MPG will bring notable scale and specialty capabilities as the firm builds up the offerings of its wholesale and program underwriting operations, One80 Intermediaries.
"Finding a way to perpetuate and grow our specialized business has always been our focus," said Carter Gowrie, GHI Chairman and CEO. "Risk Strategies, with its specialty-focus, national presence and diverse offerings, is a perfect match for both our retail and wholesale companies. We look forward to realizing our many synergies."
Gowrie Group's retail insurance brokerage offers the most comprehensive, customized protections available, including several exclusive product and program offerings, for marine risks and sailing organizations. This specialized approach is carried over to other offerings for equine risks, non-profits, and public safety organizations. Gowrie also offers customized placements for high net worth families and individuals and is ranked among the Insurance Journal's Top-50 personal lines brokers in the U.S. The company's deep niche expertise, exceptional client service, and teamwork-based approach to addressing complex risks have resulted in extraordinary client retention and steady market share growth.
Gowrie Group also has a specialty employee benefits practice, within which it often supports the particular needs of its marine-focused and private client practices. One unique offering of the practice is a Crew Medical Program which provides tailored health insurance benefits to mariners.
Maritime Program Group offers a complete suite of recreational, inland, and commercial ocean marine solutions, as well as private client personal lines to a network of more than 2,000 brokers across the United States. MPG has a full complement of in-house underwriting programs with the highest-rated domestic carriers, as well as through Lloyds of London as an appointed coverholder. MPG's deep specialty expertise is reflected in its distinction as the only program underwriter in the marine market holding underwriting authority with the same two carriers for more than 28 years consecutively.

Interpol has issued a Red Notice for the arrest of notorious Bulgarian gangsters Angel Hristov and Plamen Galev aka the "Galevi brothers".
The underworld bosses were declared wanted for "organized crime/transnational crime" at the request of the Bulgarian authorities.
Angel Hristov and Plamen Galev aka the "Galevi brothers" disappeared at the beginning of May after the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation finally confirmed their organized crime sentences. The two were supposed to be sent to jail for 5 and 4 years respectively.
On May 9, Galev and Hristov were issued a nationwide search warrant amidst reports they fled abroad with a huge stash of money and strong criticism on the part of the European Commission.
The search of the Bulgarian authorities ended up with no result, while in the meantime the executive and judiciary exchanged accusations for the blunder of letting the two mobsters get away.
The pair is well known to be top mafia lords, failed MP wannabes and benefactors of Dupnitsa, a sleepy, impoverished and dilapidated Bulgarian town at the foot of the Rila mountain, some 60 km south of Sofia.
Even before the court trial it was a public secret that the Galevi brothers are mafia bosses who hold the citizens of Dupnitsa on a leash as their jobs and prosperity depend on the two burly former policemen with shady background and businesses.
They have managed to capitalize on the weakness of the state and the local authorities, merging with them and making out of Dupnitsa a stronghold of their own, called Galevgrad.
On May 3, Bulgaria's Supreme Court of Cassations upheld Galevi's jail sentences issued by a lower instance.
The magistrates, however, reduced Galev's sentence by two years and Hristov's by one on grounds they have clean criminal records and are known for charitable activities. Galev will thus serve 5 years behind bars while Hristov will be in jail for 4 years, both on charges of participating in an organized crime group dealing with racket and extortion. The rule is final and cannot be appealed.
In the beginning of July 2011, the Sofia Appellate Court surprisingly reversed the trial against Galevi, sentencing them to a total of 12 years in jail – Plamen Galev to 7 years in prison, and Angel Hristov – to 5.
In addition, Galev was sentenced to a fine of BGN 10 000 and confiscation of 1/3 of his properties and assets, and Hristov – to a fine of BGN 7000, and confiscation of 1/4 of his properties and assets for the benefit of the state.
The two were appealing the sentence with the Supreme Court of Cassations, which is the last instance.
Back in November 2010, the Regional Court in the southwestern city of Kyustendil acquitted them of all charges – including heading an organized crime group, racketeering, and extortion on the grounds that they were tried on rumors, not real evidence.
Four other men were also sentenced as members of the organized crime group led by Galevi.
The Galevi trial, launched in September 2009, came in the wake of a large-scale and flashy raid by what appeared to be the state army, which rummaged offices, auto-houses and apartments in the capital Sofia, Pernik and Dupnitsa.

Do you have repetitive injuries? Do you have pain? These are strong indicators of muscle imbalance in your body. Our bodies will always move in the least painful way even if it is not the right way to move.
Dr. Brooke and Dr. Kris has each patient go through an exam to determine faulty movement patterns and muscle imbalances. Through this, she can prescribe patients at-home exercises to become stronger and re-balance their bodies.


This apple you're about to bite is rotten. Are you going to get carried away by a one-night stand when you share a profound connection with your partner? The scorpion is about to be tempted, which is quite strange. Even if you think there's something special about that third person, think twice before acting.
During this weekend, share your issues with your partner, especially those you always avoid, perhaps because of lack of time. You'll see it's only a temporary misunderstanding. In any case, your life shouldn't be like an airport: your happiness shouldn't depend on whether someone arrives or departs.
You didn't expect to end the week like this, but your job has completely changed within hours. First, you even thought about leaving your job, but this new chance you have has got you confused. Good job you have all weekend to think about it carefully and to get advice from others.
Regarding your money, it's now less important at the expense of your happiness. So, if you're happy spending, go ahead, and if it's going to calm you down, save up. The stars have little impact on your fortune for a few hours.
It's always your damn neck. The pain in your back is caused by the fact that you're constantly tense. Think about changing you mattress and you will rest peacefully. It is said that we spend a third of our lives sleeping, so it's important to have a good rest.
In any case, it seems that you have a respiratory problem related to your breathing. Inhale air for ten seconds and exhale it for about twenty. Repeat the exercise until you lower your pulse. You'll notice your anxiety disappear in a few minutes and without needing any medicine.

French contribution to the ERIC EMSO
Infrastructure (2017)
Scientific objectives at Ligurian site
The Ligurian region has an active, if diffuse, seismicity (Béthoux et al., 2008). The continental slope is particularly narrow and steep, and rivers flow directly from nearby alpine reliefs. This promotes slope instability and the formation of submarine canyons. The Var canyon, offshore from Nice, is one of the most active in Europe, with turbidity currents that transfer large volumes of continent-derived material directly to the abyssal plain (Piper and Savoye, 1993). Water masses from the Tyrrhenian Sea, carried to the west by the Ligurian current (Crépon and Boukthir, 1987; Conan and Millot, 1995), meets and exchanges with waters from the Gulf of Lion in the Ligurian Sea. Changes in the intermediate and deep water masses have been interpreted as signals of changes in the deep-sea water formation in the Eastern Mediterranean Basin and of local climate changes (Smith et al., 2008; Marty and Chiaverini, 2010). The Ligurian Sea is also strongly influenced by atmospheric inputs triggering changes in biomass production (Marty et al., 2002). These specific conditions make the Ligurian region a unique location for a multidisciplinary long-term eulerian monitoring.
Scientific features at the Ligurian site:
Slope failure processes on a steep continental slope
Turbidity currents in submarine canyons and their force factors
Seismic hazard, tsunami generation and the impact of seismicity on continental slope stability
Marine biodiversity and life in deep oceanic environments
Lateral and vertical dynamics of water masses and their impact on biochemical budgets
Fluxes of organic matter through the water column, their impact on regional carbon budgets

Fashion sees its fair share of revivals, but under Isabella Burley, its 26-year-old first-time editor in residence, the Helmut Lang label is rewriting the rule book. The brand has launched a Re-Edition collection of archival pieces by Lang himself, the Austrian autodidact who left his eponymous label in 2005 and in absentia has become the most influential designer of this decade. Burley is producing a yearlong artist series inspired by the collaborations Lang had with the likes of Jenny Holzer and Louise Bourgeois. And, most notably, she's hired Hood By Air's Shayne Oliver as the label's designer in residence.
The last time Oliver put on a show in New York, for Spring 2017, he partnered with PornHub, slicked back models' hair with "love juice," and otherwise subverted the runway order. During its nearly three-year stint, HBA's shows were always good theater, and its absence from the New York calendar last season was much lamented. Tonight hundreds of people crowded the sidewalk outside the old Pearl River Mart on lower Broadway to see Oliver's debut. Would it be Langian? Oliverian? Would chaos ensue?
The relaunch comes at a charged time. Thanks to the cyclical quality of fashion, Lang is much referenced by today's designers, and the reinterpretations of his work have served to make the originals more valued. "It's really important for Helmut Lang to be an authority on Helmut Lang again," Burley said earlier this summer. The crowd at Pearl River was weighted toward her and Oliver's generation, but there were plenty of others whose recollections of Lang shows past are still sharp. Opinions about this show are likely to divide along those lines.

Polian, who inherited the difficult task of following Hall of Fame coach Chris Ault, posted a 23-27 record in four seasons, including two postseason appearances. His teams were 14-18 in Mountain West play and he was 2-2 against UNLV, including Saturday's win, which marked the largest margin of victory of Polian's Nevada career.
The Wolf Pack gathered at 1 p.m. Sunday to paint the Fremont Cannon blue but less than an hour later was told of Polian's fate by Nevada athletic director Doug Knuth, who had the final call. Polian was allowed to address his team one last time.
15 potential candidates to be Nevada's next football coach
"This decision is about finding a new head coach who will help us win a championship, and who will continue to build and strengthen relationships within our department, our campus, our alumni and our great community," Knuth said in a news release, while declining further comment. "The support from those constituencies is vital to the success of building a championship program."
Under the five-year contract Polian signed in January 2013, the Wolf Pack owes him a $525,000 buyout, however that might have been negotiated down. Polian, who declined to talk in specifics about the buyout, argued staunchly over the final few weeks of the season that the 2016 campaign, which yielded a 5-7 overall record and 3-5 MW mark, was an anomaly and that the future of the program was bright.
Reached via phone by the RGJ on Sunday night, Polian said he will remember his four years in Reno fondly.
"The overall feeling will be positive," Polian said. "I certainly did not come into the job with a clear picture of how challenging it was going to be, but I don't regret it for a single moment because of the young men that I got to be associated with, the collection of coaches we put together, the support staff. Our life as a family has been enriched by being with those people. We loved living here.
"When it doesn't end the way you want it to, it's frustrating but overall my experience here has been very positive and I would like to think that in a lot of ways we left the program in better shape than how we found it. The win-loss record, we obviously wish it was better but there were a lot of things that were not in great shape when we got here that are in terrific shape now."
Wolf Pack players flooded social media with their thanks for Polian and his staff.
"A lot of 'fans' might boast like this is a good thing, but know this team is hurting right now," sophomore safety Asauni Rufus posted on Twitter. "We care so much about Coach P and this entire staff we battled through this year's adversity for them more than anything. My only regret is that more people didn't have a heart as big as yours. We love you Coach P. You said you'd always have our backs, and we'll always have yours. Keep chopping."
Polian, the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian, was hired to replace Ault after the longtime coach resigned in December 2012. Polian's hiring inspired high hopes among Wolf Pack fans as he had assistant-coaching stints at big-name schools Notre Dame, Stanford and Texas A&M. Season-ticket sales hit an all-time high following his hiring but fell subsequently in each year that followed. Overall attendance dropped by 16.6 percent this season.
In Polian's first year, the Wolf Pack went 4-8 and lost at home to UNLV, snapping streaks of eight straight postseason appearances and eight straight wins over the rival Rebels. The Wolf Pack then recorded with back-to-back 7-6 seasons. It lost in the 2014 New Orleans Bowl to Louisiana-Lafayette and beat conference foe Colorado State in the 2015 Arizona Bowl, the fifth bowl win in program history.
Prior to the start of the 2016 season, Polian said the Wolf Pack was poised for a step forward. However, that planned step never materialized.
The confluence of numerous injuries, a defense that struggled to stop the run and an offense that didn't find its top level until late in the season doomed Nevada to just its second non-bowl year since 2004, both coming under Polian. Back-to-back wins to finish the year were not enough for Polian to get a fifth season.
Polian listed a number of success during his tenure, including great work in the classroom; wins over Washington State and BYU, just two of Nevada's eight over Power 5 teams in the modern era; and the sixth best win-loss record in the MW over the last four years despite the league's lowest budget.
"I'm not going to walk around with my head down," Polian said. "We did an admirable job, especially when you consider the fact I essentially had two losses on my schedule every year with the non-conference schedule where we go in as decided underdogs. That's the nature of mid-major football. That's OK. I understand that. But I think I proved to people that I can be a good head coach and we just had a little bit of bad luck and it can be a difficult job at times. I certainly don't regret coming here."
Polian elevated Nevada's Academic Progress Score from 928 (out of 1,000) after his first season to a projected 994 this year. His players mostly stayed out of the police blotter. And he is one of only two coaches in Nevada history to reach two bowl games, along with Ault and Joe Sheeketski, who did so in the 1940s. But, ultimately Knuth determined Polian wasn't the coach to take Nevada to the next level.
Polian, who said the top-notch APR scores should be his staff's "legacy," called 2014's wins over BYU, while down 15 at halftime, and the Pac-12's Washington State and Saturday's win over UNLV as his fondest memory on the field. But it's the memories off the field that he'll miss.
"More than specific games or moments, it's the players and the coaches," Polian said. "It's not being on the sideline that you miss. It's being at dinner at the hotel, it's messing with the guys on the plane or on the bus. That's the stuff that I'll miss. It's the things that fans don't see that are the most rewarding and the most valuable."
The Wolf Pack will head back out to the coaching market in search of its 26th head football coach, but only its sixth since 1976 when Ault was hired. Since that time, Ault has posted a 233-109-1 overall record – a 67.9 percent winning mark – and 133-53 league record. Nevada's four coaches other that Ault since 1976 have gone 69-84 overall – a 45.1 percent winning mark – and 43-48 in league play.
Whoever inherits the job will be tasked with taking over a program that ranks last in the MW in football budget. The Wolf Pack spends about $7 million per season on football, which is $3 million below the league average. That next coach also will be in charge of trying to return Nevada to a championship-caliber program. Nevada has won only two league crowns – 2005 and 2010, in the WAC – in the last 19 seasons.
"The future is very bright for Wolf Pack football and I'm excited to watch and cheer for the team as they hunt for a championship in 2017," Knuth said in a news release. "Champions know the hunt for a 2017 championship begins with their off-season preparation and I'm certain our team leaders will keep the team focused on that goal beginning today. The Fremont Cannon is home where it belongs and we will work every day to make sure it stays there for a long time."
Polian's final game at Nevada might end up his most memorable. While he would have liked a fifth season to see if he could have taken the Wolf Pack to that next level, whooping UNLV in his final game in silver and blue isn't the worst consolation.
"If my last memory of coaching at Nevada is beating UNLV by 35 points and being drenched in Gatorade and celebrating in that locker room with those kids that I love so much, then I can be OK with that," Polian said.


Critical evidence bearing on the breakup history of the supercontinent Rodinia near the end of the Proterozoic comes from widespread Cryogenian–Cambrian intraplate igneous assemblages present along the margins of cratonic blocks released during Rodinia fragmentation and now distributed around the globe. This magmatism occurred over a long time span (780–540 Ma) prior to and during final stages of Rodinia breakup along the eastern, western, and northern margins of the Laurentia craton, which forms the centerpiece of Rodinia in many reconstructions. Whether similar protracted magmatism occurred prior to the rift-drift transition along the southern Laurentian margin has remained uncertain because of deep burial beneath younger strata. We present geochemical and geochronological data from volcanic clasts within shelf-derived Ordovician turbidites and debris-flow deposits now exposed in allochthonous thrust slices in the Marathon uplift, west Texas (USA), that document one or more episodes of intraplate magmatism extending back at least to 706 Ma along this part of the ancient margin. These data raise the possibility that Laurentia may have been completely encircled by intraplate igneous activity prior to Rodinia breakup, with implications for the driving forces leading to supercontinent fragmentation and factors controlling the sites of ocean-basin formation during that process.


It's important to understand that Leslie Hall, School of the Museum of Fine Arts graduate and Ames, Iowa native, is brilliant. The gem sweater proponent is the most brilliant regionalist, perhaps, since fellow Iowan Grant Wood.
Not only can she really sing, but she is also fiercely at the top of her game. And the name of her game is performance art of the zaftig, gold-pantsed kind. Forget lazy 15-minutes-of-fame references. In 2006, Manhattan's Paper magazine put Hall on its "Beautiful People" list. Any time now, she's likely to gather up her fringes and sashay off to Nashville.
Film-goers and the usual Madison scenester suspects congregated like the faithful to watch the YouTube superstar kick off the Wisconsin Film Festival 2007 at the Café Montmarte party on Friday night.
Hall took the stage at about 10:30, minus an opening act. She and her back-up dancers cruised through an hour-long set that included "Can't Stop the Gems (Jams)," the giddily audience-participatory "Shazam I'm Glamorous," and a naming ceremony for the gem sweaters of four lucky audience members. Any Leslie and the Ly's show includes videos projected onto a screen, onstage outfit changes made possible through the miracle of Velcro, and the use of a 2 x 4 and harness to execute moves seldom seen outside a circus tent. L & L's music is an extension and propellant of the gem sweater-loving persona, but it is also well-crafted dance music that can get a roomful of people dancing. And nothing moves a crowd like name-checking Wisconsin dairy. Really.
Appropriately, Hall first gained notice as a performance artist when she began making videos. View the Leslie and the LY's website and the rest of the art-making juggernaut at www.lesliehall.com. It's possible she'll be back at the Wisconsin Film Festival with her own entry in the future.

Die Synagoge in Assen, der Hauptstadt der niederländischen Provinz Drenthe, wurde 1901 an der Stelle eines Vorgängerbaus aus dem Jahr 1832 errichtet. Die ehemalige Synagoge an der Groningerstraat ist als Rijksmonument ein geschütztes Kulturdenkmal.

Geschichte
Die erste jüdische Familie siedelte sich 1750 in Assen an, lediglich eine zweite Familie folgte im Laufe des 18. Jahrhunderts. Durch die gute wirtschaftliche Entwicklung im 19. Jahrhundert zogen weitere jüdische Bürger nach Assen. Die Jüdische Gemeinde Assen konnte 1832 ihre erste Synagoge errichten, die 1901 durch einen größeren Bau an gleicher Stelle ersetzt wurde. Im Jahr 1930 hatte die jüdische Gemeinde in Assen mit 580 Mitgliedern ihren Höchststand erreicht.

Die jüdischen Bürger von Assen wurden während des Zweiten Weltkriegs von den deutschen Besatzern verfolgt und viele wurden in den Konzentrationslagern ermordet.

Da nach 1945 keine eigenständige jüdische Gemeinde in Assen entstand, wurde das beschädigte Synagogengebäude an die Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerk, eine kleine reformierte Gemeinde, verkauft, die es unter dem Namen Bethelkerk bis heute als Gotteshaus nutzt.

It might not be as cheap to eat in Patagonia as it is other parts of Latin America, but it sure is hard to go hungry. Everyone is constantly trying to get you to polish off supersized plates loaded with the catch of the day, picadas of deli meats and cheeses, thick cut chips, or spit roast cuts. In this post we size up seafood at the end of the world and take a sideways look at Centolla (King crab). In the next one we hunt down the regional speciality of Patagonian lamb and take on the legendary pork sandwiches of Lomitos.
Staying with Cecilia at Refugio El Padrino ('The Godfather's Refuge', as the townspeople of Puerto Williams on Isla Navarino affectionately referred to her late father), was never going to be a good time for a New Year's diet. In the best tradition of Chilean hospitality she was constantly trying to feed us up for free. After one long walk we returned home to the cosy lodge – its wood stove burning brightly – ready for a much needed shower, only to find the biggest crab I have ever set eyes on had got there first. "Who's our new neighbour?" I enquired of a Chilean guest now emigrated to Sweden. "Oh, Cecilia will be over shortly: that's dinner", she explained nonchalantly.
Would you mind passing the loofah old boy?
The King crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus), also known as the Emperor or Stone crab, and a close relation of the Spider crab, is part of a family of cold sea crustaceans commonly found in Patagonian waters. Red king crabs (centollas) are renowned for the quality and quantity of their meat, which is thicker and sweeter than its smaller relatives. Cecilia prepared it very simply by boiling the meat for 15 minutes, and dressing it with lime, seasoning and Chileanos' favourite condiment, mayonnaise. You can also find it in restaurants baked a la gratinada (in a cheese sauce). Either way, those fearsome claws contain a whole lot of juicy white meat, so you have to hone your shell-breaking technique to get the best from these beasts – or of course, get an expert to do it for you.
We decided to find out more about how Centolla is farmed and exported from these remote shores, so we hiked down the coast from town to where we believed Concar S.A., a regional King Crab producer, owned a canning and packing factory. It was only once we had sauntered up to reception to enquire about tours, that we realised the door bell wasn't operable. This was mainly because they didn't have a door. Or a reception for that matter. Further research revealed that nearby Punta Arenas, on the mainland, had become a tax haven, to which Concar had scuttled. It wasn't clear how many islanders had lost valuable jobs in the process.
As we stepped into the eerily deserted ghost factory, it felt as if production had been halted with no warning one moment, and the entire workforce had fled (with us many tins of crab as they could hold) the next. Bundles of rotting cardboard packs had been scattered like a frothing tide across the factory floor. Crab nets and uniforms lay discarded amongst the detritus of the silenced waterside operation. Enterprising residents had ripped as much sheet metal from the roof and walls as would be undetected from the main road.
That cold, bright evening Cecila was already home and rustling up dinner in the tiny Refugio's kitchen. More ultra-fresh seafood was on the menu: tonight's dish was Sopa de Lapas, a Spanish style soup of limpets which cling, barnacle-like, to the shores of of Isla Navarino. Cecilia assured us that lapas were impervious to the deadly marea roja (red tide): a poison caused by harmful algal blooms that affect bivalve mollusks in this part of the Patagonian coast.
The limpets were dropped into a hearty, bubbling stew of potatoes, onions, peppers and corn at the last minute, flavoured with spicy aji and lots of chopped fresh herbs. It was served up with rolls of crusty bread to a table of four rugged German hikers, the Chilean-Swedish couple and me (Clare eschewed the dish because she doesn't believe in eating bottom feeders) and between us we still couldn't empty the pot. There were so many lapas that Cecilia whipped up an omelette salad with the rest of them. It tasted like a splash of summer sun on a frozen lake, and was easily the best side salad I've had in Latin America. Prawns for Breakfast doffs its sombrero to the Godfather: Patagonian home cooking takes some beating.
I'd love to hear more about this omelette salad. What IS an omelette salad? The factory looks spooky. The giant crabs clearly rose up in revolt; chasing out the workers and ripping off big pieces of sheet metal in the process. Glad you two escaped unscathed!


My name is Kirsten and I moved to NZ from England in 2003. I live with my husband Toby and our 2 girls. I have always loved taking photos but didn't do it as a profession until 2014. I started in sport, Toby races motorbikes so we were always at the track. I couldn't go out on the track to photograph the bikes in action because I had to stay close by to look after the kids. So it was the people in the pits I focused on. Turned out it was actually the people I liked to photograph the most, so much emotion everywhere, I took natural candid photos of everything that was going on, people had never seen these kind of photos before and they loved them. From sport I naturally started shooting families and kids (not literally), again just in the same natural kind of style. I didn't move into weddings until more recently, the truth is I was nervous, such a huge responsibility capturing someone's big day but in 2015 I shot a friends wedding in Vanuatu and absolutely loved it. It would seem that sport and weddings weren't much different, loads of emotion, lots of things going on and loads of love.
It took me a while to accept that what I saw through the lens wasn't the same as what most other people saw. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE taking photos and feel blessed to be in a position where I can do something that makes people smile (or cry) every time and when it comes to weddings, for you to be able to relive your wedding day by watching a slideshow of my photos, or flicking through an album is priceless.
If you would like to know more info I'd be happy to meet up over coffee or wine or we can Skype if you're not in Auckland. I got married last year so aside from being an experienced wedding photographer I feel like a bit of a pro when it comes to being a bride too and have loads of tips and advice that might help you with things at this time! Feel free to send me through some details by filling out my contact form, i'd love to know what you've got planned.

2/06/2018 · How to Make a Waterbomb. The Waterbomb is an origami cube made to hold water. You only need one piece of paper to create this marvel. You will start by making a triangle base, then fold it into a square, and finally lock the sides together...... Here are some PDF diagrams of models from my book, Origami to Astonish and Amuse. They're taken right out of past BARF newsletters, so, they are samples from the book, minus the photos and 'Thoughts Behind the Folds' boxes.

Check out the collection of origami book reviews and... most Origami diagrams you come across. You will find most of the symbols shown here again in the section "Basic Folds", where they will probably make more sense in context.
The Nippon Origami Association™s (NOA) magazine 1988), included diagrams for a dragon by KITAMURA Keiji. The head was subtle and beautiful, but the body was awkward and clumsy. The model also required two 2x1 rectangles. I took the head design and grafted it onto a longer rectangle to create this eastern dragon. Start with a 5x1 rectangle, coloured side up. (You can use any integer ratio coelho veronika decides to die pdf In this tutorial you'll learn how to fold a nice star from paper without the need for glue or scissors. Step 1: Get the Paper. This Origami is modular, this means it consits of more than one sheet.

You can find free diagrams for the crane all over the place (including in the diagrams section on the OrigamiUSA website), but I drew these diagrams because I was not happy with the existing instructions for the crane that I could find.
Any piece of paper slipped between two pages would do as a bookmark, but origami bookmarks can be stylish and distinguish you apart from the rest. These origami bookmarks are cleverly folded pieces of paper which can be slipped onto the corner of a page.
Author How I started origami. As I was a pupil I knew origami only in a sense of folding paper airplanes.I knew only one model that flew well. When I was 14, I was very fond of gluing paper models of buildings in my school.
There is a whole bunch of amazing (and easy) origami for kids projects waiting for you on this page – all of these have a step by step tutorials showing how to make them! I'm sure you are going to love each and every one of the projects featured as all of them are oh so pretty!
Joseph Wu's Origami Page is known as the "master" origami page, with many links, diagrams, photo galleries, information about origami, and much more! Joseph also provides a Who's Who of origami notables and some great photos of his original models.

Developers test software in the hope that the testing process will expose faults in the software they've developed. Most developers also realize that no amount of testing will ever prove software to be bug free. So while testing is a virtuous activity that we dare not neglect, we are wise to temper our expectation of the practical value of testing.
A test is designed to exercise a software element given certain inputs and execution state. The state is observed after the test execution to see if the software element has behaved in a manner that is consistent with its specification.
As a body of software is developed and tested, a large number of tests may accumulate. This large suite of tests can be run at any time in order to ensure that a change or the addition of a new software element does not cause a previously successful test now to fail. Some software development processes call for running a whole suite of tests after every increment of development activity. This type of testing is often referred to as regression testing, because it tends to expose software which had been satisfying its tests at one time, but because of some development activity has regressed to a failing state.
Creating, managing and running a large number of tests manually can be time-consuming, messy, and error-prone, thus the motivation for automated testing tools. Testing tools help programmers to create, maintain, and execute a suite of tests by automating the activity. During the last few years, both testing methods and tools have become more sophisticated.
Some of today's development methods require tests to be written before the software elements they test. Then the tests are included as a part of the software specification. But tests can only reflect a very small subset of the possible execution cases. Testing can never replace a comprehensive software specification.
The great advantage you have with Eiffel, of course, is that the specification for a software element exists in its contract. Like the tests mentioned above, contracts for software are written prior to implementation. So, importantly, tests are not a part of a software specification in Eiffel.
With contract checking enabled at run time, the running software's behavior is constantly monitored against the contract's expectations. In other words, for routines, the precondition defines an acceptable state in which the routine can execute, and the postcondition defines an acceptable state after successful execution. The class invariant defines the constraints necessary for instances of a class to be valid.
A term commonly used in software testing is "oracle". Tests are generally looked at as having two parts, the first part is a mechanism that exercises (runs or calls) a particular software element in a given context. The second part is the "oracle" whose responsibility it is to determine whether the software element passes or fails the test. Not surprisingly, test oracles in other testing frameworks often look a lot like assertions in Eiffel. So the advantage for Eiffel is that the test oracles for all routines are already written as the postconditions on routines and class invariants.
The presence of preconditions provides another advantage. Preconditions make it possible to automate testing in ways unavailable in other environments. Because of preconditions, we already have information about the limits of valid inputs to routines. So it's possible to generate a call to a routine we want to test automatically and with a context that meets the routine's precondition.
AutoTest attempts to capitalize on the testing advantages inherent in Eiffel due to Design by Contract. AutoTest consists of an interactive interface, and a library of classes which support testing activity.
The testing support classes are distributed with EiffelStudio and exist in the testing subfolder of the libraries folder. With the exception of one class which we will discuss soon, the classes in "testing" are not intended to be used directly by developers. They exist to support the functionality of AutoTest.
Definition -- Test class: An effective class that inherits from the class EQA_TEST_SET.
Definition -- Test set: The set of tests in a test class.
Definition -- Test suite: A set of test classes (and by implication the tests contained therein) which is designed to test some particular software system or library.
Whenever you use AutoTest, it will find your test classes, those classes that inherit from EQA_TEST_SET. When you run tests, it will execute all the tests in those classes, or a subset of tests that you choose. So, you have probably figured out that the one class from the testing library that you may need to know a little about is EQA_TEST_SET. But you don't have to know very much, because AutoTest can help you construct your test classes.
Each test of any of these types ultimately is a feature of class that inherits from EQA_TEST_SET. Ordinarily, though, the three types of tests won't be mixed in a test class. That is, any one particular test class will contain only one type of test. But from the point of view of AutoTest, all types of tests are managed and run the same way. We will discuss these types of tests in more detail later, but for right now, let's just establish some definitions.
Definition -- Manual test: A test manually coded within a test class.
Manual tests are features, procedures in fact, of classes that inherit from EQA_TEST_SET. In many simple cases, test classes containing manual tests inherit directly from EQA_TEST_SET, but that's not a requirement. Occasionally it can be useful for test classes to inherit from a descendant of EQA_TEST_SET that provides additional functionality.
A manual test is "manual" in the sense that you code the essential procedural part of the test by hand. But you really don't have to deal with the more mundane business of creating the whole test class and ensuring the proper inheritance. The New Eiffel Test Wizard helps out by automatically creating the shell of a test class and the shell of a test for you to fill in. Then it's pretty easy to add new tests manually to an existing test class.
Definition -- Extracted test: A test that has been created during the execution of a system as a result of a developer request or a failure of the system. Extracted with the test is the current runtime state. When run, the test will attempt to recreate the runtime context.
Extracted tests are convenient because they allow you to accumulate tests that are based on actual failures of your software (good for the software, not so good for your ego!). Once these tests are in your suite of tests, they are available from then on.
Definition -- Generated test: A test that is the product of generating and running a series of randomly generated invocations of target routines.
The process of creating generated tests is sometimes known in the community as creating via AutoTest. The randomly generated calls to target routines which were created and run are discarded at the completion of the creation. But from the results of these calls, a set of permanent tests is distilled. These are the generated tests.
Generated tests are made possible by Design by Contract. Hopefully, you remember that one thing that DbC gives us is the handy ability to assign blame when something goes wrong. When a test makes a call to a routine we want to test, if a contract violation occurs, it may be the fault of the called routine or it may be the fault of the caller ... and that depends upon what type of contract violation has occurred. The contract violations that are interesting to AutoTest in the process of synthesizing tests are only those in which the called routine is at fault. That is, postcondition and invariant violations. AutoTest will then create a generated test for every unique failure in which the called routine being tested was to blame.
Definition -- Target routine: A routine that is to be tested by a test. Sometimes called a "routine under test."
Definition -- Target class: A class that contains target routines. Sometimes called a "class under test."
In its simplest form, a test is a routine that issues a call to some routine you've developed in some class you've developed.
So the tests and the test classes are in the realm of testing and are used to test the target routines in target classes which are the real product of your software development project.
AutoTest will manage and run the tests in any test class whether or not they actually test any target routines. Even though the test shown below doesn't test anything, it still qualifies as a test. Naturally, it would seem silly to keep a test around that doesn't test anything, but the important thing to understand is that AutoTest will work with anything that matches the definitions of test and test class above. That is, once tests are created, AutoTest doesn't really have a stake in what you are trying to test.
This test class was created by AutoTest's New Eiffel Test Wizard. It is about as simple a test class as there can be. Its only value is to illustrate the basic form of AutoTest tests. So, let's look at that form.
It is clear that MY_TEST_CLASS is an effective class that inherits from EQA_TEST_SET, so that makes it fit the definition of a test class. And, it's also clear the my_test is a feature of MY_TEST_CLASS, specifically a procedure, exported to ANY, requiring no arguments. That qualifies my_test as a test. If MY_TEST_CLASS is located in a test cluster of your project, then AutoTest will find it and be able to run it whenever you request.
This test would always fail because of the assert that the wizard put in the implementation. So if you asked AutoTest to run your tests, it would tell you that my_test was a failed test, for the reason: "not_implemented". The assert is not a necessary part of a test. The wizard puts it there to remind you that the test has not been implemented. If you removed the assert line from the test, then the test would always succeed, which would be nice, but it would be succeeding at testing nothing! We'll see more later about what it means for tests to succeed and fail.
But first let's get some exposure to the AutoTest interface, by building a manual test for a routine in a simple class.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the Machine House, Summer Menu.
The restaurant has recently been given a new lease of life by Kevin Lynne and his team. Head chef and owner, Kevin has worked previously alongside Raymond Blanc and David Cavalier before becoming executive chef at the Belle Epoque where he gained two AA Rosettes and was entered into the Michelin Guide.


Dear Bob, in his book Heavens Mirror, Graham Hancock reveals many cities around the world that are connected in much the same way you suggest. That there was a universal system of grid lines of power linked directly to the stars is without question. Many kings and potentates abdicated their earthly responsibilities to search out the perfect spot to build monuments to such things. Cambodia (the land of Kambu)= same as the sky... Is of particular interest.
What, if any significance, does the destruction of the twin towers (an obvious Gemini symbol) have to do with stargate lore?
Stay tuned. More to follow on that, Lord willing. NYC is a node with several related monuments.
