The silky pocket mouse (Perognathus flavus) is a species of rodent in the family Heteromyidae. It is found in northern and central Mexico and the southwest region of the United States. It is a species of least concern, according to the IUCN, with no known major threats.  The silky pocket mouse eats seeds, succulent parts of plants and nuts, and carries food in its cheek pouches.  It lives in low valley bottoms with soft soils, among weeds and shrubs, where it burrows in the sand to bury seed caches. The species is more tolerant of harsh habitat conditions than other pocket mice.

Description
The silky pocket mouse is the smallest pocket mouse in the family Heteromyidae, though otherwise is very similar in appearance to the other members of the genus Perognathus. Its relatively short tail, which is buff or dusky colored above and white below, does not have a tuft of hair at the tip and is always shorter than the combined length of the head and body, which average about . The upper parts are ochre or yellowish-buff, with many black-tipped hairs. The underparts and the forelegs are white. Behind the ears there are clear buff patches without black-tipped hairs and there is a narrow strip of plain buff between the dorsal coloring and the underparts. The species exhibits little sexual dimorphism, but the male tends to have a slightly longer tail.

Distribution and habitat
The silky pocket mouse is endemic to the southern United States and Mexico. It is present in the states of South Dakota, Nebraska, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma and possibly Wyoming (where it may be extinct). In Mexico, it is present in most of the central plateau. The silky pocket mouse occurs in arid and semiarid grassland, sandy and rocky places, Pinus - Juniper areas, Artemisia flats, shrublands and areas with Yucca and cactus.

Behavior
The silky pocket mouse is mainly nocturnal and lives in a burrow by day. In warmer weather it consumes cached food in the afternoon before emerging on the surface to forage in the evening. It mostly collects grass and weed seeds but also eats some green leafy material. It takes the husks off the seeds before storing them in its cheek pouches and carrying them back to its burrow where they are cached. A silky pocket mouse collects an average of  of seed on each sortie. When a pile of  was deposited near a burrow (sufficient for maintenance for up to 10 days), the pocket mouse collected and stored it all in one night, and still emerged to forage on succeeding nights. In cold weather it occasionally forages by day, and in really bad weather it may not come out of the burrow for several days.

The silky pocket mouse has a home range that extends to a distance of about 60 meters (200 ft) from its burrow, with males often having larger ranges than females. When it moves fast, the silky pocket mouse proceeds with short, kangaroo-like bounds, but at slower speed it walks. It requires no water at relative humidities between 25 and 60%, obtaining its moisture needs from its food. When the ambient temperature is low (below ), it allows its body temperature to fall by about  and enters short periods of torpor. In between these it eats some of its stored seeds in the afternoon before emerging from its burrow to forage in the evening before temperature falls too low.

The silky pocket mouse often uses a burrow excavated by the banner-tailed kangaroo rat (Dipodomys spectabilis), whether it is occupied or empty, or sometimes shares a burrow made by a Phillips' kangaroo rat (Dipodomys phillipsii). Abandoned pocket gopher mounds are often tunnelled by the silky pocket mouse.

Silky pocket mouse burrows may be open or closed (with the entrance blocked loosely with soil) in different parts of the range. In Colorado, entrances to the burrows are often at the foot of a prickly pear, yucca or low shrub, while in New Mexico they are often underneath Artemisia, Chrysothamnus or Atriplex, dug into the low mounds of soil that often accumulate there.  Tracks in the dusty sand have been found leading to and from nearby seed-laden plants such as Helianthus, other composite plants and Croton. There are usually several entrances to the burrow and a complex system of tunnels and rooms. The central chamber is usually less than  below the main entrance and is  in diameter. From it, a long tunnel leads down to the rather larger nesting chamber. The nest is situated there and is globular and made of dried grasses and surrounded by seed hulls. A typical nest is about  in diameter. About eight tunnels radiate from the nesting chamber, some of which terminate in a storage room in which seeds or husks are cached and hidden behind loose soil.

Reproduction takes place during most of the year in New Mexico; in Arizona it peaks in February and May. A typical litter of three or four young (range one to six) is born after a gestation period of 22 to 26 days. The young open their eyes after about 15 days and are weaned 15 days later. Longevity averages about 3.3 months, but some individuals live for twenty months, and in captivity some have survived for five years. The population density varies between seasons and years.

Status
The silky pocket mouse has a wide range and is common in most of that range. In Arizona there is an isolated subspecies,  P. f. goodpastori, which has a restricted range. This subspecies is considered threatened, but in general the silky pocket mouse faces no particular threats and is present in a number of protected areas.  The IUCN lists it as being of "least concern".

Q&A with Kavem Hodge
We're ready for Test cricket💃🏽🕺🏽 Just before, we have a feature lined up for you on another potential debutant of the #BANvWI series. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Kavem Hodge is affectionately known as Hodgey/Battistuta. The 27-year-old hails from Antrizle, Dominica.
Hodge started playing cricket on the beach at the age of 5 with older guys in his village and says he stayed motivated over the years because he knew others who achieved at the highest level and because of the individuals who helped and made sacrifices for him.
Kavem says he was "over the moon on hearing the news, even the next day I was trying to convince myself I wasn't dreaming, I was very elated indeed".
How does it feel so far for Kavem?
"It feels amazing; to be representing so many people and being part of such a rich culture is really indescribable".
Once called upon to make his debut Kavem hopes "to play my role as effective as possible and contribute to the success of West Indies cricket in whatever shape or form".
What's Kavem looking forward to most from the tour?
"I'm looking forward to building a solid camaraderie with my fellow team members and the coaching staff and to making the most of the opportunity once it presents itself".
Kavem lives by the mantras "To each his own" and "If it's meant to be it will be."
We're so proud of you Hodgey🥳🤗 Congrats and all the best!!👍🏼

Penkowa may loose her ...
Penkowa may loose her doctorate and PhD degree
An international panel of experts has concluded that Milena Penkowa may have falsified results in 15 scientific articles. The University of Copenhagen is passing the cases onto the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty (DCSD) whose ruling may result in Penkowa losing her PhD and doctorate.
In Denmark, only the DCSD, and not specific educational institutions, are mandated to consider cases of scientific dishonesty after allegations have been raised. The DCSD is currently already processing several allegations of misconduct by Penkowa during her research, with verdicts on two cases expected in the autumn. An international panel of experts has now identified an additional 15 cases of serious fraud in Penkowa's published articles. Among them are five articles that serve as the basis for the doctorate she was awarded in 2005, and her PhD.
"As a result of the panel's conclusion we will forward all 15 suspicious articles to the DCSD as well as calling a meeting with the committee due to the extraordinary nature of the case. We are particularly interested in seeking clarification regarding the four articles that were used in Penkowa's doctoral thesis and one that was used in her PhD," prorector Thomas Bjørnholm said.
The academic councils at each of the University of Copenhagen's faculties are responsible for awarding PhD and doctorate degrees. In regard to the Milena Penkowa case, it will be the academic council at the Faculty of Health Sciences that will ultimately decide whether she will lose her titles.
This would be the case if the basis for her PhD or doctorate is undermined.
"The academic council at the Faculty of Health Sciences will decide whether the fraud in Milena Penkowa's research will have consequences for her doctorate and PhD. The academic council may use the DCSD's verdict in their judgment," prorector Thomas Bjørnholm said.
The University of Copenhagenhas informed the co-authors of the suspicious articles, as well as the journals they were published in, once the independent panel identified the fraud.
Guiding young researchers
The international panel that examined Penkowa's research noted in their report that the University of Copenhagen could have given Penkowa better guidance in her early education as a researcher between 2000 and 2005 which was the period that the suspicious articles are from.
"In the past 10 years a number of improvements have been made in the way young researchers are educated. Today, PhD students are connected to a professional PhD school with a scientific leader. The researchers participate in annual performance and development reviews and postdocs are increasingly connected to a so-called research group leader which was not as common when Penkowa was a young researcher early in her education. But good guidance can never serve as an absolute guarantee against fraud," prorector Thomas Bjørnholm said.
Rector Ralf Hemmingsen last year presented a five-point plan in response to the case against Penkowa. The plan consists of new student ambassadors, new rules for award and distinction nominations, better control of research accounts, clearer rules for reporting fraud, and a revision of the PhD programme.

Koren Bell on LinkedIn
"My approach to a winning strategy starts with understanding my clients' goals. Whatever the legal matter, and at every stage of litigation, I listen to my clients and deliver results through creative, tenacious, and focused advocacy."
Koren's
Yale Law School, J.D.
Swarthmore College, B.A., high honors
Hon. Stephen Reinhardt
Koren ("Kori") Bell is a bilingual Spanish-speaking lawyer who litigates high-stakes trials and appeals in courtrooms across the country.
Praised for her advocacy—described by courts as "superb," "topnotch," and among "the best I've seen"—Kori has handled some of our nation's most complex trials and appeals. She is a tenacious and creative litigator who represents prominent clients in high-profile white collar defense matters—including as Counsel of Record in a case she advanced to, and argued before, the U.S. Supreme Court. She also represents individuals and companies as both plaintiffs and defendants in a broad array of complex civil litigation, including high-stakes commercial disputes and widely publicized civil rights suits, and in sensitive investigations.
Kori is fluent in Spanish and has served as a trusted advisor to clients from all over the world.
Notable Experience and Results
A former supervising federal public defender, Kori delivers results for her clients at every stage of litigation. She has prevailed at trial, before trial, and in post-trial proceedings in a variety of areas—from business disputes to products liability, defamation to trade secrets, and all manner of white collar crime. Her clients include high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, public figures, and companies from a range of industries, including entertainment, technology, health care, transportation, construction, real estate, and sports.
Kori's current representations include the widely publicized "Varsity Blues" college admissions case, in which she co-leads the defense of the decorated former USC water polo coach against federal fraud conspiracy charges pending in Boston. In addition to securing severance of our client's trial, Kori and the defense team prevailed on a motion to dismiss the government's property fraud allegations, and obtained the government's dismissal of its lead RICO charge.
In another high profile matter, Kori represents the former president of Outcome Health in parallel SEC and federal criminal proceedings pending in Chicago which allege a $1 billion fraud scheme targeting the prominent startup's pharmaceutical clients and investors. In an early victory, Kori and the defense team defeated the government's motion to stay the SEC proceedings.
Kori's other recent results involve three of the most significant public corruption cases in California history.
In 2020, Kori and co-counsel secured a $65 million settlement from the County of San Bernardino in a pair of novel civil rights lawsuits brought on behalf of developer Colonies Partners, L.P., and its co-managing partner, following our client's full acquittal at trial on public corruption charges.
In the long-pending, high-profile public corruption case involving the former Los Angeles County Assessor, Kori and co-counsel obtained the dismissal before the California Court of Appeal of two cases charging our client with dozens of counts, and a final dismissal of the tax case when it was recharged on remand. The case, which dates back to 2012, garnered national attention after then-Los Angeles County District Attorney Cooley called it one of the most important in decades.
And in another highly publicized public corruption case involving the former mayor of Palmdale, Kori and co-counsel obtained a no-custody, no-restitution tax-count disposition and the dismissal of all other charges alleging that our client, an aerospace expert, embezzled millions in NASA funds. Following a multiweek preliminary hearing—which the Court deemed "among the most complicated, if not the most complicated case I've ever heard in 37 years"—the Court praised the "topnotch" and "superb lawyering by Ms. Bell and Mr. Larson," calling the result "a testament to their abilities."
Prior to joining Larson, Kori was a member of the trial team that obtained a complete defense verdict in McNair v. NCAA, a defamation case arising from the Reggie Bush scandal, following a month-long trial that was covered extensively in the media. After the jury rejected the plaintiff's claims, the Court called the advocacy in the case—which included Kori's spearheading of legal strategy and examination of key trial witnesses—"the best I've seen since I've been a judge."
Before entering private practice, Kori spent nearly a decade at the Federal Public Defender's Office in Los Angeles. As a Supervising Trial Deputy in the largest office in the federal defender system, she helped oversee trial litigation, devise management improvements, and develop district-wide challenges to prosecutions.
During her tenure, Kori defended clients in some of the Office's most difficult federal criminal trial matters and appeals—including cases involving alleged cross-border criminal activity, each of the federal fraud statutes, public corruption, and capital murder.
Among these matters was Shaw v. U.S., a case involving the construction of the federal fraud statutes, which Kori advanced to—and argued before—the U.S. Supreme Court. In a victory for Kori's client, Shaw invalidated the Ninth Circuit's model fraud jury instruction and that of a number of other circuits.
Following Shaw, Kori spearheaded strategy in U.S. v. Miller, in which the Ninth Circuit confirmed that its precedent and that of five other circuits upholding the model fraud charge "are no longer tenable in light of the Supreme Court's intervening ruling in Shaw v. U.S." "In light of Shaw," the Court held, "we therefore overrule our prior cases on this question[.]"
Retained as trial counsel for the decorated former USC water polo coach charged with fraud conspiracy in the high profile "Varsity Blues" admissions case.
Retained as trial counsel for the former Outcome Health president charged in highly publicized parallel SEC and criminal proceedings with a $1 billion fraud scheme targeting the startup's clients and investors.
Obtained a $65 million settlement for Colonies Partners, L.P., and its co-managing partner from the County of San Bernardino in a pair of novel civil rights lawsuits following our client's full acquittal at trial on public corruption charges.
Obtained the dismissal before the California Court of Appeal of two cases charging our client with dozens of counts in the long-pending, high-profile public corruption case involving the former Los Angeles County Assessor, People v. Salari.
Obtained a favorable tax-count, no-custody, no-restitution disposition, and the dismissal of all remaining charges, for an aerospace economic development expert charged with embezzling millions of dollars in NASA funds in the highly publicized People v. Shaw; and achieved successful resolution of sequel California Attorney General and NASA enforcement actions.
Obtained a favorable settlement for counterclaimants in a putative class action involving alleged trade secret violations and violations of the Federal Wiretap Act.
Obtained a finding of no violation for a leading physician in enforcement proceedings brought by the Attorney General's office for the Medical Board.
Obtained the non-prosecution of charges and the return of all seized assets for an entrepreneur in forfeiture proceedings involving a large-scale seizure of property.
Represented a major television network in an internal investigation overseas.
Significant Prior Representations:
As Counsel of Record, argued Shaw v. U.S. before the U.S. Supreme Court, invalidating the Ninth Circuit's model fraud jury instruction and that of five other circuits, in a victory for the client.
Obtained a complete defense verdict in McNair v. NCAA, a defamation case arising from the Reggie Bush scandal, following a month-long trial.
Represented FedEx Ground Package System in $600 million federal civil lawsuits brought by the State and City of New York alleging shipment of contraband cigarettes.
Represented Pfizer Inc. in multi-plaintiff products liability actions brought in Missouri state court over its blockbuster statin.
Represented the founder and former CEO of Insys Therapeutics against unprecedented charges alleging that the distribution of an FDA-approved medication violated RICO.
Obtained mid-trial dismissal in a landmark criminal prosecution under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, following first-impression litigation over the statute.
Obtained time-served disposition in a high-profile criminal prosecution alleging $30 million international market-manipulation conspiracies, after exposing government misconduct.
Obtained pre-trial dismissal of a counterfeit currency case, after motion practice challenging the constitutionality of the search.
Obtained acquittal on a witness-tampering count and post-trial dismissal of a gratuities count in a cross-border illegal gratuities case.

Leicester come up against former boss Claudio Ranieri at Craven Cottage on Wednesday and Puel believes he may have to do without the England worldwide.
Watford posed a different kind of threat today for Leicester and Puel was impressed with how his team adjusted to the challenge in front of them. I don't know for the moment. He (Vardy) felt something and we will discuss with the medical staff. It's a balance to know his feelings step by step.
Vardy scored as a substitute against Brighton last week, and marked his return to the Premier League starting line-up with an excellent all-round display leading the line here. "Other players must be ready in their minds to play and replace another team-mate".
Leicester City were comfortable as they breezed past Watford in the Premier League to make it five top-flight matches without defeat.
The Italian won a shock title with Leicester in 2016 and Puel knows the qualities Ranieri has. We will play a tough game, not just because he is the manager but Fulham played very well against Chelsea and Southampton.
"We can not forget what he bring to the club", he said.
They are the top of the pile for red cards this season and have had twice as many players sent off as any other team in the league.

The Poetry of Raymond Carver
Sandra Lee Kleppe
Published April 9, 2014 by Routledge
Published February 24, 2016 by Routledge
The Poetry of Raymond Carver: Against the Current
Book Description Author(s) Reviews Instructor Resources Support Material
Best known as one of the great short story writers of the twentieth century, Raymond Carver also published several volumes of poetry and considered himself as much a poet as a fiction writer. Sandra Lee Kleppe combines comparative analysis with an in-depth examination of Carver's poems, making a case for the quality of Carver's poetic output and showing the central role Carver's pursuit of poetry played in his career as a writer. Carver constructed his own organic literary system of 'autopoetics,' a concept connected to a paradigm shift in our understanding of the inter-relatedness of biological and cultural systems. This idea is seen as informing Carver's entire production, and a distinguishing feature of Kleppe's book is its contextualization of Carver's poetry within the complex literary and scientific systems that influenced his development as a writer. Kleppe addresses the common themes and intertextual links between Carver's poetry and short story careers, situates Carver's poetry within the love poem tradition, explores the connections between neurology and poetic memories, and examines Carver's use of the elegy genre within the context of his terminal illness. Tellingly, Carver's poetry, which has aroused slight interest among literary scholars, is frequently taught to medical students. This testimony to the interdisciplinary implications of Carver's work suggests the appropriateness of Kleppe's culminating discussion of Carver's work as a bridge between the fields of literature and medicine.
Sandra Lee Kleppe is Professor of English at Hedmark University College, Norway.
'Sandra Kleppe understands Carver's poems and the man who wrote them; she illuminates his work with deft, pertinent knowledge of literary theory and poetry.' Carol Sklenicka, author of Raymond Carver: A Writer's Life

Changing the World for Animals in 2012
By	Wayne Pacelle	on	December 21, 2011	with	0 Comments By Wayne Pacelle
A moral concern for animals is not a far-off, abstract, or ethereal concern. It's as tangible as it gets—intersecting with so many aspects of our daily lives. We may see stray or homeless animals in our community, or learn of a case of malicious cruelty that causes us to cringe or to get our heart racing with anger or righteousness. But as significant as those problems are, they're just the most obvious expressions of the deeper problems that animals face in contemporary society.
The HSUS
There are billions of animals in crisis today, but so many people just don't recognize this fact as a problem. The use of animals is enmeshed in so many parts of our economy—in food production, fashion, animal testing, wildlife management, the pet trade, sport, and in so many other contexts—that these uses are normalized and, at some level, morally invisible. Many people assume or hope that some government agency is watching over the situation and acting to restrain excesses that would cause cruelty. Others listen to the assurances of industry and put their faith in the notion of adequate self-policing.
But there are big gaps in the law when it comes to the treatment of animals, and there are too many people who view them as objects, or commodities, or resources in the waiting. Animals are used in fashion—for fur, ivory trinkets, exotic leathers, or other purposes in the wildlife trade. Many household products, cosmetics, or chemicals are tested on animals before they go to market. Gamblers go to the track to watch horses or greyhounds race. They take to the field to hunt for trophies, and a small group even sets up trap lines in an activity that blends recreation and commerce in fur pelts. Americans eat more than 10 billion animals a year, most of them raised on factory farms. And even if we are physically removed from abusive or exploitative behavior, we are still connected to it up or down the supply chain. In short, there are moral problems all around us—but that means that there are also moral opportunities all around us, too.
We live in an incredible moment of contradiction, when it comes to our relationship with animals—with so many expressions of love and appreciation, yet so many varieties of cruelty and harm. And The HSUS is working to remind people that cruelty is wrong, and that we must logically apply these principles in the real world. They don't just kick in with some animals, or in some settings. It's a broader ethic that must be applied logically and consistently. We cannot simply subvert animal welfare to short-term economic and cultural concerns. Values related to mercy and compassion ground any civil society.
We must see society move past certain abuses and find a new way forward:
Increasing adoptions of homeless pets as a means of dropping euthanasia rates across the country, and seeing that puppy mills stop abusing dogs. In developing countries, it means humanely managing street dog populations.
Phasing out the use of extreme confinement practices on factory farms; transitioning to more humane farming practices; and exhibiting consciousness about the food we eat. Eating is a moral act.
Passing federal legislation to phase out the use of chimpanzees in invasive experiments, reducing pain and distress in the laboratory, and choosing alternatives when it comes to the use of animals for research and testing
Cracking down on the trade in dangerous exotics for pets, and passing laws to forbid this trade and associated auctions
Stopping the slaughter of horses for human consumption throughout North America
Putting an end to the commercial hunt of seals in Canada and Namibia and convincing Japan and Norway to end their commercial slaughter of whales
Ending captive shoots for animals for trophies
In the last few years, there's been great progress. We are on a clear trajectory—more awareness, more action, and more progress for animals. But we cannot relent, we cannot hesitate. We must call cruelty by its name, and demand the change that we want to see in society.

Articles published on Datafloq need to have a minimum AI score of 60% and we provide this graph to give more detailed information on how we rate this article. Please note that this is a work in progress and if you have any suggestions, feel free to contact us.
floq.to/Ew1Ds
It may be clear that there is enough information to be found on the web regarding big data. Everyone has a different explanation of big data and what it can mean for organisations. With so much information around big data to be found, it is easy to become confused and to read the wrong information. So lets dispel some of the most common big data myths and big data strategies.
1. Big Data is New
90% of the available data has been created in the last two years and the term big data has been around 2005, when it was launched by OReilly Media in 2005. However, the usage of big data and the need to understand all available data has been around much longer. There are a lot of examples of companies that were into big data before it was called big data. A well-known example is Walmart that has been using data analytics already for many years.
2. Big Data is Just a Hype
Big data is not something like social media, which indeed was a hype a few years back. At the beginning of social media everyone thought that social media was the Holy Grail, well it ended differently. Social media is just a marketing tool to better understand you customers. Big data on the other hand is a transformative trend that will mean a paradigm shift in all industries for all companies, big or small. The amount of data will only grow in the coming years and all that data can be turned into information that can be used to improve organisations in many different ways. Already, companies that have developed and implemented a big data strategy financially outperform their peers by 20%. This will only increase and companies that will not move into the direction of big data most probably will not be able to survive in the future.
3. You Need to Have a Lot of Data to Talk About Big Data
Big data does not necessarily have to be a lot of data. Although Volume is one of the three Vs that is generally used to describe big data, it is definitely not a requirement to have a minimum of for example a Petabyte of data. Especially the combination of different data sets (such as combining company data with social data and public data ) provides a lot of insights and this can also happen with smaller data sets.
4. Big Data is Only for Large Corporations
A small business has to look differently at big data, simply because less data is created. That does not mean however that small businesses cannot develop a big data strategy. Especially when small businesses start combining various data sets they can also obtain the insights that large corporations achieve with big data. It will however probably take a bit longer before small organizations will start to see the benefits of developing a big data strategy.
5. You Need to Hire a Big Data Scientist to Start With Big Data
There are many big data startups that offer innovative tools for companies as a SaaS or DaaS (Data-as-a-Service) solution. For each aspect of big data (processing, storing, analysing, visualizing) there are different startups that offer such a SaaS or DaaS solution. For these solutions there is no need at all to build a Hadoop cluster and to hire an expensive big data scientist or big data analyst.
6. Hadoop is the Holy Grail of Big Data
Hadoop offers a lot of advantages such as massive amounts of data that can be easily stored, processed and analyzed in a fraction of a second. It uses commodity hardware and can easily be scaled at relatively low costs. Combined with a fault tolerance system that copies all data several times over different clusters and nodes, Hadoop offers a lot of advantages. However, Hadoop is not the Holy Grail. There are quite some substantial disadvantages of Hadoop. Getting Hadoop operational is difficult and requires specialized engineers that are expensive. Subsequently cluster management is hard and debugging is pretty difficult and without a top layer real-time analytics is not possible. Therefore, using Hadoop is not a guarantee for success.
7. A Big Data Strategy is an IT Responsibility
Quite often, big data is seen as an IT matter, after all you need hardware and software to implement a big data strategy. It is true that the hardware and software need to be developed by highly skilled technical big data employees (in-house or outsourced). This is nothing strange, as the required IT of big data is different from what we have had so far. However, the required IT is merely a means to an end to achieve a big data strategy defined by the organization. This strategy could be to increase customer satisfaction or to increase revenue or to improve the operational efficiency and the route to achieve that strategy could be big data or any other solution for that matter. If the strategy is to increase customer satisfaction it would be strange to define it an IT matter or have the IT Director be the sponsor of the strategy. Therefore, big data is a strategy matter that should be dealt with, ideally, at board level.

Realme has been hard at work leading up to their launch in the Philippines. They want to prove that they are more than just a sub-brand of OPPO. They want to stand out and are Proud to Be Young! Realme is FINALLY HERE and brought the Realme C1 with them! Want to know what the REAL ENTRY LEVEL KING has to offer? Here is my Realme C1 Philippines pricing and availability info!

For the FLASH SALE on 12NN of December 5, the Realme C1 will cost just P5,490!
The sale will just last for an hour so you have to be quick on your fingers! BOTH colors will be available so you have a choice when you buy it quickly! Here's to hoping that this first phone from Realme will be really successful! People were also clamoring for the Realme 2 and Realme 2 Pro but unfortunately they won't arrive in the Philippines. Check out this article from revü to find out why.

Ian Graham, Mayan field archaeologist – obituary
25 August 2017 • 10:00pm

Ian Graham, who has died aged 93, was the foremost Mayan field archaeologist of his day and the creator of the first systematic catalogue of Mayan sculptures and script.
In half a century of arduous exploration in the dense jungles of Central America, he discovered, recorded and sought to protect the extraordinary heritage of Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. He dedicated his life not just to the meticulous recording of all the Maya Classic script, but also to preserving on-site buildings, temples and great carved stelae in the face of ruthless looters.
His photographic, cartographic and hand-drawn record formed the foundation of the vast Corpus of Maya at the Peabody Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a unique body of 21 volumes, each 192 pages long. It was designed by Graham as a record of a vanished culture, whose passing has been accelerated by the depredations of international art criminals.
Graham managed to unmask some of these and help get them convicted. He showed great fearlessness in visiting the buyers of this pillage in the Americas and in Europe. In some cases he so shamed them that they donated their spoils to museums or returned them to Guatemala and Mexico.

In an era before satellite navigation, through talking to local chicleros (men who harvest gum for the chewing gum industry), he discovered numerous previously unknown or lost sites, many of which were being ransacked by men armed with chainsaws and machine guns.
On one occasion his guide was shot and killed as they camped near a Mayan site. He spent that night, with two other men, hiding in the jungle to avoid a similar fate. Characteristically, however, he spent the next few days seeking justice for the victim in the face of indifference from police and officials. The assailant was eventually convicted.
Graham also often faced threats from the police, who on one occasion beat him up and threw him into a fetid cell with five others – his crime having been to defend a man being beaten up in the street by officers. He bought detergent and cleaned up the cell before eventually being released.
For the first eight years of his work in Central America, Graham had to source funds on his own. In 1968, however, he received $50,000 from the Guttman Foundation, and there was intermittent support from the US National Endowment for the Humanities. But the real plum arrived with a $270,000 grant from the MacArthur Foundation in 1981, a further $50,000 going to the Peabody Museum over five years. The award showed that academics in the United States had come to recognise the immense value of his work.

Graham followed in the footsteps of three other British giants in Mayan archaeology: Alfred Maudslay, whose biographer he became, Frederick Catherwood, and J Eric Thompson, whom he knew personally. The other great figure was the German Teobert Maler, whose biography Graham also wrote; it is due to be published this December by Harvard University Press.
In 2010 he completed an autobiography, The Road to Ruins, based on the intricate field notes he kept. These recorded on one side of paper the bearings of the sites he had visited and all the critical information for locating the great sculptures, and on the opposite side the names of his guides and where he stayed, what provisions he purchased and the means of transport to and from the remote jungle regions he visited.
Graham's early work included descriptions of Mayan festivals and celebrations, their music, styles of dress, dances and processions. He recorded the gradual shift from a culture in which the Catholic church held sway to one where commerce came to predominate. He also noted the use of language and was concerned to report distinctive vocabulary, which with time will have disappeared or been subsumed by new usage.

Ian James Alastair Graham was born at Campsey Ash in East Suffolk on November 12 1923, the eldest son of Lord Alastair Graham, son of the 5th Duke of Montrose, and Meriel Bathurst, daughter of the 7th Earl of Bathurst, whose grandfather had owned the Morning Post, which was later sold to The Daily Telegraph. Ian was educated at home by his mother until he was eight. After a miserable time at prep school, he went to Winchester.
While there he was invited to lunch with the King and Queen at Windsor Castle during the Winchester-Eton Cricket match. There was wartime rationing and when offered a second helping he declined, only to find to his great pleasure that the Queen grabbed the serving spoons and piled his plate with food saying: "Oh, come on."
Meanwhile his physics teacher, Spencer Humby, showed him a research paper by Watt, Bell and Hurd about pulsed radar transmission – work which led to the development of radar. Graham found a role in this area when he joined the Navy during the war and was seconded to Malvern research station. Winchester also encouraged his interest in pyrotechnics and he developed a wind tunnel for investigating air flow.
He went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, to read Natural Sciences, but youthful pursuits distracted him and he had to leave after a year.
Following service in the Royal Navy, at the end of the war he was invited to inspect captured German electronic equipment. He was pleased to discover that when German scientists from Telefunken had tried to copy an English cavity magnetron (used for airborne radar guidance), they had failed to add the small twisted pieces of brass wire which enabled the machine to work in perfect resonance. In his memoir he imagined the technocrats saying: "Ah, those foolish British, they cannot make their brass straps straight."
Soon afterwards he went to Trinity College, Dublin, to acquire a degree. While there, he gave a lecture on the recently dropped atom bomb and was awarded a scientific prize. The real joy, however, was living in Dublin amid a bohemian social crowd including the likes of Brendan Behan.

His understanding of chemistry took Graham next to the conservation department of the National Gallery, where he was given the task of determining how to restore oil paintings which had been overvarnished, overcleaned or badly damaged. While working on this at the Government Chemist's Department in Aldwych, he tasted some stew that had been canned for Franklin's voyage of discovery across the North West Passage in 1845 – the crew all died but years later their tinned stores were found and brought back to Britain and the Tin Research Council sent them to the government laboratory for analysis.
During the later 1950s Graham took up photography. He was commissioned by Weidenfeld & Nicolson to take pictures for some of their books, and in 1957 did a stint as a fashion photographer in New York.

He had a passion for cars which expressed itself in a 1962 expedition with his friend Patrick Lindsay from Jaipur, India, to Abadan via Afghanistan and the Bactrian Desert in a vintage open-top Rolls-Royce Phantom II. He had already, in 1958, driven a vintage sports coupe Rolls-Royce around the US and down to Mexico before selling the car in California. And it was during that journey that he first encountered Mayan sculpture.
On his return to Britain he applied for a British Library reader's card so that he could devote himself to studying the Maya. He then returned to Mexico and the ruins on the Yucatan Peninsula before travelling on to Honduras, Belize and Guatemala. He was appointed OBE in 1999. Other honours included the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Society for American Archaeology (2004) and the Order of the Quetzal from the government of Guatemala.
Ian Graham retired to his home in Suffolk and spent his last years quietly, apart from a last field trip in 2007 when he went to collect his award in Guatemala. His daughter survives him.

It's been a while since I posted anything new on here, but I've been feeling a bit rough. However, that doesn't mean that progress on the Dr.1 hasn't been going on in the background. So I'll try and catch up with a few short updates.
Following the completion of the engine I moved on to a number of other sub-assemblies. The first items being the guns.
These are very simple and straightforward, though care needs to be taken to ensure the parts are aligned accurately. If they are then there is next to no clean up required.
Once the guns were assembled they were given a coat of matt black and brushed over with graphite powder (aka crushed 6B pencil lead) to give them a gunmetal finish.
In the picture above you can compare the pre and post graphite appearance.
The final modification to the guns was to add the interrupter mechanism connection which is omitted from the kit, but quite prominent given the location of the guns in this aircraft. To simulate the link I used some grey automobile wire left over from the build of my kit car.
Note: In the end I changed the grey wire and substituted some wound wire guitar string instead as you can see in the finished photos. The wound wire better replicated the real items to my mind.
The next item was the construction of the ammunition and belt collection boxes. The latter is omitted completely from the kit, and the former bears little relation to the real thing. Fortunately I was able to locate an engineering drawings of the items on the net and from this build a new ones from plasticard.
A comparison of the kit ammunition box and the scratch-built item is shown below.
You can also just see that I have modified the ammunition feed chutes too to partially enclose them as they were on the real machines. Another thing where the kit differs.
Here is another picture where you can see the changes more clearly.
And with the combined fuel and castor oil tank in place.
The tank is almost standard, but for some reason Hasegawa decided to leave off one of the filler caps. The far one in the picture is as per the kit. The foreground one has been scratchbuilt.
Next I'll move on to the fuselage assembly and the cockpit area.
Looking good so far. Hope you are back to full strength again.

Q: "No such interface supported" after upgrading SourceSafe project to 2012 SSMS format. We had SQL Server 2008 r2 project.
Then we converted it to SSMS 2012 format.
Now I can't open the converted project.
I am getting an error
C:\Views.ssmssqlproj : error  : Unexpected error encountered. It is recommended that you restart the application as soon as possible.
Error: No such interface supported
File: vsee\internal\inc\vscomptr.inl
Line number: 259
The older project was using SourceSafe 6. I wonder if it is the reason. SQL Server Management Studio 2012 doesn't support SourceSafe 6 anymore.

A: Microsoft has logged this issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2727824
and has included the fix starting in the following update:
2723749 Cumulative update package 3 for SQL Server 2012
According to Microsoft, this fix should be available in Service packs:

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 hotfixes are created for specific SQL Server service packs. You must apply a SQL Server 2012 Service Pack RTM hotfix to an installation of SQL Server 2012 Service Pack RTM. By default, any hotfix that is provided in a SQL Server service pack is included in the next SQL Server service pack.

So, the latest SQL Server 2012 service pack contains the fix, and it worked for me.

I was asked to give a keynote address at the Canadian Solar Industry Association this morning in Toronto.
Five years ago, 500 people attended their conference. This year they had 5000 registrants. They are now the largest energy conference in Canada.
My key message to the audience was that communities can effectively partner with the solar industry to promote renewable solar energy, investment and jobs.

Having issued southern California broker Timary Ann Delorme aka Timary Kennally Koller a cease-and-desist order and ordering $50,000 in civil penalties for her involvement in Izak Zirk Engelbrecht aka Zirk De Maison's penny stock market manipulation scheme, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Delorme's employing firm, Wedbush Securities of Los Angeles, with failing to supervise its representative.
Calling Delorme an "accomplice" to the fraudulent scheme through her "abusive" conduct, investigators alleged that she recommended and bought particular stocks in her customers' accounts—in exchange for undisclosed compensation—and then engaged in manipulative trading in penny stocks, in the furtherance of a purported pump-and-dump scheme.
Delorme (CRD #736418)'s BrokerCheck report lists multiple customer disputes alleging fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, omission of material fact, negligence, unsuitability, unauthorized trading, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and violation of California securities law; total settlements have exceeded $300,000, while an additional fraud by misrepresentation and omission complaint filed in late 2017 remains pending.
The SEC alleges that Wedbush observed, but failed to act, on multiple red flags displayed by Delorme, noting that Delorme's manipulative penny stock activity was elevated to the president of Wedbush, in addition to legal and compliance personnel...yet, the firm failed to adequately respond to Delorme's suspicious and fraudulent behavior as FINRA opened an inquiry into the allegations against Delorme.
For example, the SEC pointed to one e-mail of Delorme's that specifically referred to inflating the value of a stock. Investigators say this should have resulted in compliance-related action, yet Wedbush's response was minimal.
The litigation release claims that Wedbush subsequently put Delorme on "heightened supervision," but only to resolve the aforementioned FINRA matter; the firm allegedly failed to adequately document its internal investigation, and also failed to address the matter when FBI agents interviewed Delorme about the penny stock scheme.
Delorme is still associated with Wedbush Securities' Los Angeles and Costa Mesa branches.
Last month, "recidivist" firm Wedbush agreed to pay $250,000 in disgorgement and $1 million in penalties to settle charges pertaining to several compliance and Exchange Act violations.
SEC officials have already pursued other brokers allegedly involved in the De Maison penny stock fraud scheme that resulted in $39 million in customer losses, while a federal judge in 2017 sentenced former Marquis Financial Services (Tarzana, CA) brokers Stephen Joel Wilshinsky and Gregory Evan Goldstein over their roles in the fraud.
If you have invested with Wedbush Securities of Los Angeles broker Timary Ann Delorme or with any representative or financial adviser who unsuitably recommended investment in risky penny stocks or other securities subject to price manipulation or other fraud that has proven harmful to your interests, please call The Law Offices of Jonathan W. Evans & Associates at (800) 699-1881 for an investigation and consultation.

[77 FR 48819, Aug. 14, 2012]


Sauté bacon in large pot over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Add onion to drippings in pot; increase heat to medium-high and sauté until beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; stir 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juice. Stir until almost all liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add all potatoes; stir to coat. Add 4 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with lid slightly ajar. Simmer until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes. Add spinach and bacon; stir until spinach wilts, about 1 minute, adding broth by 1/2 cupfuls if too thick. Season with salt and pepper.
This was fabulous and perfect for a winter evening. I actually doubled this for the leftovers. I added a cup of carrots cut into 1/3 slices, and two cans of drained black beans. I had an open container of chicken stock, so I used probably half stock/half broth. I also had some left over crushed tomatoes, and because I love tomatoes, I tossed that in, too. Next time I make this (and I will for certain), I might consider some white beans, too, possibly garbanzo beans as one reviewer mentioned. I might change it up and use an apple chicken sausage I've had before in place of the bacon, but I did love it with the bacon. My boyfriend made savory biscuits with colby cheese to go along with this. I'm crazy excited for the leftovers today for lunch!
Very hearty soup. I used immersion blender for a few seconds to make a thicker soup before adding bacon and spinach. I also sprinkled on some red pepper flakes for added flavor. Also served it with cornbread. You won't be disappointed.
Great soup!! I added 2 large carrots (chopped)with the onions and served with cornbread. Yum. This will definitely be a regular to my recipes.
I loved this soup for its simple ingredients, the ease of making it, and the delicious flavor. My favorite way to cook is to take very basic ingredients to new heights of deliciousness. For me, this soup fits the bill. It reminds me of the way Alice Waters and David Tanis cook, and they are two of my favorite chefs. Simple and delicious time after time.
Overall this soup is good but I would recommend adding some touches. I forgot thyme so I added a bay leaf and a big squeeze of lemon as the broth was a little lacking. Next time maybe some Hungarian paprika or soy. But a very hearty stew. I used two yams and two potatoes and half spinach, half kale and added garbanzos.
3 1/2 forks easily. What would have put this to 4 forks would have been more bacon in the final servings or another protein, perhaps some beans or chicken sausage. Next time I'll just make a little additional bacon for the end. You can certainly cut some of the bacon fat out, a little goes a long way for the flavor so don't eliminate it all together.
Yum! This was delicious. I'd say 3 1/2 forks. I made it as is, but next time (and there will definitely be a next time!) I'd cut back on the other potatoes and bump up the yams and bacon.
Delicious! I'd say 3 1/2 forks for sure. I made it as is, and would definitely make it again. The only change I'd make next time would be to add at least double the bacon, or maybe a can of black beans to bump up the protein. Yum!
Very very good. Easy to prep, easy to cook. I used mixed greens instead of just spinach because I did not have enough to start with. Also one of those recipes where most of the ingredients are already around the house, so no major shopping is necessary.
Great flavours, simple and quick. Poured off most (all but 1 tbsp) of the bacon fat, since there was at least 1/4 cup left in the pot. Also pureed the soup before adding spinach & bacon at the end.
Yummy! I pureed about 2/3 of it before adding the spinach and bacon. It could maybe have used some more sweet potato, but it was really good as is.
Wonderful! Didn't change anything and it got rave reviews from everyone.


My book Pretty/Funny: Women Comedians and Body Politics (due out in March, 2014) is about the surprisingly political and feminist work being done by some of our most popular women comics these days. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, acclaimed hosts of the Golden Globes two years in a row, are known for their feminism; Kathy Griffin, annual host of CNN's New Year's Eve bash, claims gay men as her most important fans and proclaims she has "nothing to say" to straight men who might be in the audience; Wanda Sykes, a popular guest on every talk show right now, was the first black female comic to come out as gay. And our most beloved American comic right now is Ellen DeGeneres, a butch lesbian. How did all this happen?
Comedy by its nature is subversive; it's a place where women can be unruly and talk back. But in the past, most women in comedy have been stars of romantic comedies, where they can be as subversive as they like because they end up in a safe, traditional place: married, or at least as part of a couple. The actresses in these comedies aren't comedian/writers; they're actresses with good comic timing. And unlike men in film comedies, they can't be funny-looking or they wouldn't get these parts.
