The new educator in the White House

Dr. Jill Biden speaking at a stop on the presidential campaign trail.
"Teaching is not what I do, it is who I am," The first lady, Dr. Jill Biden excitedly explained. She is not only going to do her national duties as a prominent political influencer, but keep her teaching job as a tribute to her independence and passion toward her work.
Dr. Jill Biden is an educator who received a bachelor of Fine Arts in English, two Master's degrees, and her doctorate of Education from the University of Delaware. Dr. Biden has taught at high schools, colleges, and a psychiatric hospital for young adults.
Even in this day and age, women still have a tendency to compromise their positions in the workforce if the husband's position is more prominent. In Jill Biden's case, it is merely an after thought that her location of being a white house representative affects or distracts her from her true passion for teaching. Wives sometimes seem to have this unspoken understanding that it is important for the man to do such things, and they will be along for the ride.
Well what if they don't want to just be "Along for the Ride?" Dr. Biden is not willing to do so. She wants to be gracious and looked up to as the First Lady and do all the duties that come with this honor as well as continue teaching as a prominent educator, and she achieves both flawlessly.
Because Biden is an Educator there is a new "in," to the fixing of our education system. There has always been this small grievance with the education system and its unfairness towards educators, be it pay or working conditions. Teachers cannot always find a way to get their voices to be heard, and now there is a fresh new perspective and unspoken agreement for her to help with these matters.
"As an Educator, " Says Broughton Teacher, Laura Woods, "I hope she is able to raise awareness about teachers. Maybe that awareness will allow teachers in the US to get more respect and credit than we have received in a long time." Teachers around the nation, but especially in public school, are excited to have an advocate and helpful hand. Jill biden pushed for Amanda Gorman to be the position of Poet Laureate, who spoke beautifully and insightfully and the inauguration, which shows that "She sees both the existing and future value of young people, and she is not afraid to confront difficult issues in order to grow." explains Broughton teacher, Katherine Gaskins.
It is so important as a leader, to appreciate the new generations and what they can do to help the nation. Generation Z is all but a quiet one, but that voice of mighty young adults is getting glider because of people like Dr. Biden. Hearing the opinions of these first hand teacher's gratitude and excitement towards what Biden can do for their cause and life passion, is heart warming and hopeful.
Mr. Jones, An AP Government teacher, who knows quite a lot on the topic of politics understands the true meaning of passion for this job explains that "It is encouraging to know that Jill Biden has lived her life as a teacher and that she will be a passionate advocate for improving our education systems in America."
Broughton teachers are just some of the thousands of teachers around the world that are ready to have their voice truly heard by someone who is "one of them," and will continue to be during her husband's term. Yes, there are many things that need to be talked about and fixed within America's Education system, but it is getting better everyday and will continue to do so. What a time to be a teacher. As Dr. Biden once said, "Education doesn't just make us smarter. It makes us whole."

Stocks finish higher for fourth straight week
by Ben Rooney @ben_rooney May 17, 2013: 4:11 PM ET
Click for more market data.
The stock market continued its march higher for a fourth week as investors focused on signs of improvement in the U.S. economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all ended higher Friday, with the Dow and S&P 500 finishing at record levels. For the week, the S&P 500 added 2%, the Dow rose 1.5% and the Nasdaq advanced 1.7%.
Friday's gains came after a measure of consumer sentiment rose to its highest level in nearly six years. Separately, a report on leading economic indicators bounced back in April.
U.S. stocks took a step back Thursday amid a raft of mixed economic reports and as some Federal Reserve officials called for an end to monetary stimulus this year.
"The market is very sensitive to comments about the Fed pulling back," said Quincy Krosby, market strategist with Prudential Financial. But Friday's economic reports "helped assuage fears that the economy and consumer were going deeper into a soft patch."
All three indexes have gained around 16% so far this year on a combination of gradually improving economic data and continued support from the Fed.
But the economic outlook may not be as rosy as some would hope, said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank.
"The euphoric reaction in the market is justified to a degree," he said. "But it may overestimate the growth we may see here and overseas."
Meanwhile, gold prices dropped 1.6% to settle firmly below $1,370 an ounce. The precious metal has taken a beating during the past few weeks as investors rotate out of safe-haven assets.

Retailers on the ropes: J.C. Penney (JCP) shares slid after the ailing retailer reported another massive loss.
The losses came during a quarter in which J.C. Penney announced the departure of CEO Ron Johnson, a former Apple (AAPL) retail executive hired in 2011 to revive the floundering chain.
Mike Ullman, the former CEO who took back the reins from Johnson, pledged to reemphasize the company's private brands and improve the performance of its online store.
On the higher end of the retail spectrum, Nordstrom (JWN) shares sank after the company reported weaker-than-expected revenue growth and trimmed its sales outlook.
No life of luxury: Nordstrom stock falls
Facebook: One year later: A year after Facebook's (FB) disastrous stock market debut, the social network's stock is still 30% below its IPO price of $38 a share.
The company went public on May 18, 2012, in one of the most highly anticipated IPOs ever. But its stock performance has been abysmal and some investors are relieved to have missed out on the deal.

IPO pop: Shares of Tableau Software (DATA) surged 60% in their debut on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company raised more than $254 million through an initial public offering that priced above its estimated range. Tableau, which specializes in data visualization, also raised the amount of shares it offered to 8.2 million from 7.2 million.
Separately, shares of Marketo (MKTO) rallied 67% in their debut after the business-to-business software firm raised nearly $80 million through an IPO.
Tesla's stock offering: Tesla (TSLA) raised $968 million in a secondary offering of common stock and convertible notes. The electric car maker's founder and chairman, Elon Musk, personally bought $100 million shares. Tesla's stock fell slightly but shares of another Musk-backed company, SolarCity (SCTY), surged for the second straight day. The was up more than 25%.
European markets erased earlier losses, while Asian markets ended higher.

Portable stimulus tools help to raise the level of test description and enable modelling of scenarios that would be very challenging to create with directed and transaction-level constrained random tests. As a result, they enable automated creation of more unique tests. This article from Semiengineering highlights how to get started using portable stimulus to automate testing at the block, subsystem, and system levels.


2)If there are differences in the various medals, does anyone know of a listing which shows the specific breakdown of each type of medal, and what they do for crewmembers receiving them?
Sorry alanschu, you don't need the Knights Cross, just the German Cross in Gold. In my boat I have two sub-lieutenants each with the German Cross in Gold, and one also has the Knights Cross. Neither officer gets fatigued.
Noticed that one myself. Basically you give out medals and promotions and you have an experienced crew that will fight longer and fighter better. Give the important guys medals first (Officers, sonar guy, torpedo men, engine men) and then dish out the rest as you see fit. The more medals, the happier and more efficient they become.

SNC-Lavalin students win Railway Challenge
| Industry News
A group of students from Derby have taken the Railway Challenge award for their operating locomotive.
A team of nine graduate engineers from SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit, Derby, has retained the award of Overall Winner at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers' Railway Challenge 2017 at the Stapleford Miniature Railway near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.
The competition, which took place on 30 June-2 July, saw 11 teams compete against each other to design and manufacture the best, most innovative, efficient and quietest small-scale locomotive. The SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit team previously won the competition in 2012 and 2016.
David Westcough, Team Leader for SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit said: "We are delighted that we've been able to retain the crown as Overall Winners. Our hard work has paid off and we are particularly pleased with our performance in the Reliability, Noise, Ride Comfort and Design Challenges.
"Taking part in the Railway Challenge has allowed us to put our imagination and resourcefulness to the test and given us the hands-on experience of what's needed to make a locomotive from start to finish.
"The SNC-Lavalin locomotive was dedicated to Hannah Bladon, the daughter of company employee Max Bladon, who died in Jerusalem earlier this year."
Prof Simon Iwnicki, Chairman of the Railway Challenge Organising Committee, said: "We would like to congratulate SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit for an impressive win in this year's competition against a record number of competitors.
"The judges were impressed with the calibre of design and innovation of all the team's locomotives, which included the competition's first ever compressed air piston locomotive from the University of Brunel.
"We were also delighted to host the competition's first ever non-UK entry from Germany's FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences.
"Each year the entries impress the judges with their innovations, of particular note are the designs proposed for the Energy Storage and Energy Efficiency Challenges. These are two big issues currently being faced by manufacturers and so solving these challenges could mean that these young engineers could help to revolutionise our modern railways.
"We're looking forward to even more innovations at next year's event."
The competition comprises of a series of track based and presentation challenges, including a design report and an 'Innovation Challenge' which involves the production of an academic paper on the innovations in the loco. The track based challenges include: Energy Storage, Traction, Ride Comfort, Noise, Maintainability and Energy Efficiency.
The locomotives are designed to work on 10¼" gauge railway line and must be powerful enough to transport a 600kg load – including one of the Railway Challenge judges.
The final results were:
* SNC-Lavalin Rail & Transit (Overall Winners and winners of the Ride Comfort Challenge, Noise Challenge, joint winners of the Design Challenge sponsored by Wabtec and joint winners of the Reliability Challenge)
* University of Birmingham and AEGIS Engineering Systems (winners of the Innovation Challenge sponsored by RSSB, the Energy Storage Challenge and joint winners of the Reliability Challenge)
* University of Huddersfield (joint winners of the Design Challenge sponsored by Wabtec and joint winners of the Reliability Challenge)
* University of Sheffield (winners of the Maintainability Challenge)
* Transport for London (joint winners of the Design Challenge – sponsored by Wabtec)
* University of Southampton and Siemens Mobility (winners of the Traction Challenge)
* University of Warwick
* Alstom UK & Ireland (winners of the Business Case Challenge sponsored by RIA)
* FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences (winners of the Judges' Award for Outstanding Initiative from a new team.)
* Bombardier Transportation and University of Derby
* Brunel University (winners of the Judges' Award for Most Interesting Locomotive Design.)
The Railway Challenge is sponsored by RSSB, the Railway Industry Association and Wabtec Faiveley UK.

Rolex is one of the most famous brands of watches in the world. Partly because of its high quality has led the flag of Swiss watchmaking and partly by their glamorous and luxurious designs. Rolex watches have been synonymous with high social status, basically "stay on top".
Like almost all material things, a symbol is not necessarily the same for all people. For many it is "just a nice watch" and thousands of dollars not spent on something to see the time (I'm with them). For other people have a Rolex is a challenge, it is to "achieve something in life," and many times this need fall into traps by believing that make business life and end up buying a fake Rolex.
That is why in this article unComo, let's see how to detect Rolex and so to differentiate Rolex "copies" or "phony" and to prevent ripped off.
All machinery and metal quality Rolex give a fairly significant weight compared with "ordinary" watch. If you feel that you want to sell Rolex is light, begins to doubt, although recently this track is being well treated by counterfeiters that eventually would have added weight inside into sheets of lead.
A good trick for a Rolex seller is to ask if you can grab a wrench and scratching. If the seller knows is false will not leave you, if you would allow the original smoothly. The trick is that the crystals that equip these luxury watches are sapphire crystals and can only be scratched with a diamond.
The internal machine (the clock itself) makes the Rolex move the hands of the second hand about 8 times per second. This means that if you put your ear next to the clock will not hear the "tick" of a normal clock but a sound much faster and accurate. Like the weight this is an item that the best replicas were taken into account, not the cheapest.
Double check the mesh in the original Rolex is simply perfect. All the links move in a just perfectly. Inserts fit smoothly and if you pass the tips of your fingers on all sides all should feel very soft. This review should be completely subtle.
The termination of the needles is critical. In the next picture you can see the differences between an original (left) and Llas a replica (right). The just and angles of the metal is essential and is quite visible, except in the most expensive replicas.
Not much more to say about this. If you are interested in one of these watches, buy it in jewelry with experience and track record, having a lot of watches and that the seller knows what he is talking about. In case of doubt you can contact by telephone Rolex office in your country.
If in doubt, consult your trusted watchmaker.

Noah is different. He sees, hears, feels, and thinks in ways that other people don't always understand. He is sensitive and perceptive, he asks questions most people would never consider, and he doesn't stop asking until he knows the "why" of nearly everything. But there's one question Noah has not been able to answer, "Where does the wind go?" Noah Chases the Wind is a colorful and magical adventure that celebrates the inquisitive nature of all children, as well as the unique characteristics of children on the autism spectrum. Children who see the world in their own ways may recognize themselves in Noah and learn to feel good about their differences.

Noah Chases the Wind is about a little boy who has autism. Noah knows he is different. He acts, feels, and sees things differently than other kids. Noah likes to learn about new things and he wants to know where the wind goes. Noah decided he can find out where the wind goes if he chases the wind. The wind goes around the town. Then the wind picks Noah up and flies him high above the clouds. Noah learns where the wind goes.
I really loved Noah Chases the Wind. It reminds me of one of my friend who looks like Noah. He learns things a bit differently and also has autism. I am seven years old and am able to read this book on my own. The illustrations are great. The pictures are soft, colorful, and detailed. I liked going back and looking at the pictures. I loved the way the illustrator drew the wind. I wish we could really fly with the wind like Noah does.
Noah has endless curiosity about how and why things work. . . . Cowman's gusty wisps show each stream of air turning a different jewel tone, swirling all around. . . . Worthington's sensitive exploration leaves readers with their own set of questions and perhaps gratitude for all types of perspectives.
An invitation to wonder, imagine and look at everything (humans included) in a new way.

ACCF celebrates opening of 'Foundation Plaza'
ASHLAND – On June 12, Ashland County Community Foundation had the pleasure of joining the City of Ashland in welcoming visitors for the first time to Foundation Plaza.
"We believe this plaza will be an anchor of our downtown– a space where community will happen," said ACCF President/CEO Jim Cutright.
"We are proud that the space will bear our name because we envision a wide range of community events happening at Foundation Plaza. We look forward to seeing parents playing at the plaza with their children, downtown workers there enjoying a lunch break, and couples lingering there as part of a date night in our downtown."
The journey to creating this space began when ACCF provided vision and funding for the City of Ashland's Targeted Action Plan, which initially focused on some other key areas of downtown and East Main Street.
When the plaza became part of the plan, ACCF's leadership identified the plaza as an ideal target for one of the foundation's Silver Anniversary Grants.
ACCF gave grants to each of the 8 villages in Ashland County, and foundation leaders expected the anniversary season would be capped off by the announcement that ACCF would provide the naming gift for Foundation Plaza as a grant to the City of Ashland.
When COVID-19 hit, ACCF pivoted to nonprofit relief. Together with United Way of Ashland County and several individuals and businesses, we granted more than $173,000 to 22 organizations that provided critical services to Ashland County residents amid the pandemic.
Though a large portion of ACCF's Silver Anniversary grant dollars went to COVID-19 relief, through careful management, the foundation set aside $100,000 to provide a grant to the city for this plaza.
Thanks to a generous donor who came alongside ACCF and added $25,000 to the foundation's contribution, ACCF's dollars could go even further toward creating this crown jewel for Ashland's downtown.
None of this would have been possible without the foresight and generosity of donors who have made unrestricted gifts to Ashland County Community Foundation over the years.
"We can't always predict what challenges and opportunities the future may bring for our community, and that's why it's so important to have a community foundation that's Here for Good," Cutright said.
About Ashland County Community Foundation: Ashland County Community Foundation advances philanthropy and improves the quality of life in Ashland County by connecting people who care with causes that matter. ACCF has awarded over $18 million in scholarships, grants and distributions.

Then King David said to the whole assembly: "My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man but for the LORD God.
With all my resources I have provided for the temple of my God--gold for the gold work, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, and all kinds of fine stone and marble--all of these in large quantities.
for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who is willing to consecrate himself today to the LORD?"
Then the leaders of families, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king's work gave willingly.
Any who had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the temple of the LORD in the custody of Jehiel the Gershonite.
David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, "Praise be to you, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
"But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.
O LORD our God, as for all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name, it comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you.
And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion to keep your commands, requirements and decrees and to do everything to build the palatial structure for which I have provided."
So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered and all Israel obeyed him.
All the officers and mighty men, as well as all of King David's sons, pledged their submission to King Solomon.
He ruled over Israel forty years--seven in Hebron and thirty-three in Jerusalem.
together with the details of his reign and power, and the circumstances that surrounded him and Israel and the kingdoms of all the other lands.

Space Maker
Through a keen awareness of the spaces we inhabit—whether interior or exterior, natural or built, real or imagined—Space Maker explores the tensions, histories, and myths that shape our experiences of the world. These works, created by a variety of artists in a dynamic range of media, question the bonds between place and identity, reflect on our relationships to the land, and explore the realities that emerge when an imaginary world is created.
Space Maker is a celebration of the University of Utah's artistic community. The thirty-plus artists featured in this exhibition serve as faculty within the University of Utah's Department of Art and Art History and comprise a diverse group of thinkers and creators who share a commitment to their work as artists and educators. This exhibition provides a snapshot of their distinct and varied art practices, which include traditional and innovative techniques from charcoal on paper and hand-built ceramics to digital coloring and 3D models. These artworks were largely created over the past year and undeniably influenced by individual and collective experiences of a tumultuous time marked by stay-at-home-orders, nationwide anti-racist protests, and a growing awareness of the impact of climate change on our environment. Together they offer us a space to observe, reflect, and connect.
Space Maker is one of two UMFA exhibitions this fall that celebrate work by Utah-based artists. 2020: From here on out, a project that invites community artists to paint original murals in the Museum's Great Hall, is set to open Saturday, September 25.
Advance tickets are strongly encouraged. Reserve yours here.
Space Maker is curated by Nancy Rivera, a Mexican-American visual artist, curator, and arts administrator based in Salt Lake City. Rivera is the visual arts coordinator for the Utah Division of Arts and Museums. Read a conversation about Space Maker with Rivera on the Finer Points blog.

Watkins, coming off a four-block performance against George Washington, will face another skilled big man when Penn State (4-3) hosts Georgia Tech (4-1) at 7 p.m. Tuesday in an ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup.
Ben Lammers, Georgia Tech's 6-foot-10 center, is averaging 17.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.
He is also the nation's leading shot-blocker with 5.60 per game.
Cavanaugh, a 6-foot-9 forward, led George Washington with 15 points in Penn State's win on Saturday.
Chambers said multiple players guarded Cavanaugh to disrupt him.
Watkins, meanwhile, showed his potential on both ends of the floor, finishing with 20 points, eight rebounds and didn't commit a foul to go with his four blocks.
"He's quick off his feet too, he's got a really great burst and then his second jump is almost as good as his first jump, which is really special to have that type of jumping ability," Chambers said.
The coach saw that same ability in Donovon Jack, who finished his career sixth on the program's all-time list with 100 rejections.
And he sees similarities between Watkins and former 7-foot-1 center Jordan Dickerson.
Dickerson served as Penn State's rim protector during his career, blocking 133 shots (third all-time at Penn State) and altering plenty more.
In his first season, Watkins has taken over that role.
Watkins had three blocks that night after recording five blocks in each of the team's first two games.
He started piling up blocks on Penn State's first defensive possession of the season, and just more than two minutes into the season opener, he had three blocks.
His teammates are happy to have him patrolling the paint.
Watkins is still developing on the offensive end.
And his coach was excited to see parts of his game come together — he went 6 for 7 from the free-throw line — in his 20-point performance against George Washington.
"He's so far away from the player he's going to be," Chambers said.
Notes: Georgia Tech is coming off an 82-68 win over Tulane. Josh Okogie scored a freshman-record 38 points for the Yellow Jackets. ... The Nittany Lions will be wearing black and pink throwback uniforms Tuesday night. It will be the fourth time they will wear the throwback uniforms. ... The Penn State football team will be recognized at Tuesday's game. The Big Ten East trophy will be on the concourse (Portal 29) for fans to take photos.


When we first met Kathryn, she told us about Zach's romantic proposal in Ireland and their seemingly never-ending engagement (16 months!) As a first year med student at UW, she made it sound like her wedding would be simple and DIY. Ha! When we arrived to their venue in Bellingham, it was easily one of the most beautiful, detail-oriented outdoor wedding we've been to! Needless to say, Kathryn can obviously outdo even her own expectations!
Since meeting Kathryn + Zach, we're excited to say they've become great friends! They don't live too far from us, and we get to see them every week at Community Group. They had us over a few weeks ago, we made homemade pizzas, and we premiered their wedding video to them. It was amazing to not only bond over good food and conversation, but to be standing with them as they relived their wedding day. We're so glad you loved it Zach + Kathryn, thanks for letting us capture it for you!


The 2010 "Elite" or "Elite 110" was Honda's first small wheeled scooter to be introduced in North America since the 2002 Metropolitan (aka Jazz in Canada). The Elite 110 was offered by Honda USA for only the 2010 model year, while Canadians were never offered this small Honda. Globally it remains on sale as the Lead 110.
This scooter marked the first new member of the presumed to be dead Elite family since the late 80's. By naming this scooter simply the 'Elite', Honda created a mildly confusing situation since they also referred to their 1987 50cc Elite scooters as just the 'Elite'. Those older Elite's are generally referred to as Elite 50's however, so hopefully not too many people will be confused. Still, before dropping thousands on a photo-less Craigslist posting for a "like new Elite", you'd better make sure it's the 2010 model.
The new Elite seemed to be a replacement for the departed Elite 80 (1985 - 2007) although if you follow its family tree back it was actually a successor to the Aero 80 sold here from '83 - '85. Overseas the Aero 80 was sold as the Lead 80. The Aero 80 was dropped here after 1985 but elsewhere it continued to be updated. It moved to 90cc in the late 80's and then it was redesigned in the 90's and bumped to 100cc (and 4-stroke). The present generation is the Lead 110, which is what arrived as the 2010 Elite.
Like the Elite 80 (and the Aero 80), this scooter offered small wheels and great power for running around town. At 108cc's and a corresponding 8.9hp, the Elite 110 is a nice performer without creating any illusions of highway capability. With nearly 9hp and 6.9 lbs/ft of torque available, drivers have roughly double the power of Honda's 4-stroke 50cc offerings and easily more than every 2-stroke 50cc on the market. Owners will have no trouble keeping up with traffic around town on this scoot. Top speed on the Elite 110 is restricted to 50-53mph. Unrestricted, the Elite 110 can wander to about 55-57mph.
The 110 achieved a fairly significant departure from the traditional Elite look, but it's also 20 years newer than all previous Elite designs, so you'd expect some change. Any visual ties to the Elite scooters of old are minor, although he headlight shape and headset unit is reminiscent of the Elite 80. Overall, Honda did quite a nice job with this scooter. The rear rack and tail light area excellent areas and the entire rear 'haunches' are well done. The front of the scooter seems a little less inspired but its still a clean and flowing shape. A few other nice touches include the fold out passenger pegs and mini-SH150i rims.
For the North American market, Honda relocated the front blinkers to meet DOT regulations. The stylish integrated blinkers mounted just above the front fender were capped off and new blinkers mounted just below the brake levers. You can see these integrated blinkers in the silver photo below, and the USA spec blinkers in the first red photo. This change leaves an opportunity for enthusiastic owners to spend handsome amounts of money importing the stylish JDM indicators.
In the braking department, the new Elite has a front disc brake and a rear drum. Reviews of this scooter (see links) indicate the Elite has superb braking power and modulation for a scooter of this size. The Elite has 'CBS' aka 'combined braking system' which applies the rear brake automatically when the front lever is pulled.
As for storage, the Elite has it in abundance. In addition to a nice glovebox, the Elite 110 has enough space under the seat to swallow two full face helmets! With that plus the rear rack, front glovebox and grocery bag hook (seen just above the glovebox) this Elite is fully decked out. The only way to add more would be to add a rear case. If you need that, Honda will sell you a 27 liter rear case for an additional $144. Storage is definitely a strong point.
So what's not to like? Well one minor thing is that it would be nice to have a kickstarter included. This isn't a serious caveat, but a kickstarter is a nice backup tool. Aside from that, there are some complaints that the styling is little subdued. Despite early speculation to the contrary, Honda priced this scooter at quite a reasonable $2999 USD. At $850 more than Honda's 50cc scooters, the Elite 110 delivered double the power, nearly as good milage, more storage capacity and a front disc brake.
It's too bad Honda only offered this scooter for one year. 2010 was a rough year for the entire scooter industry, as it was still recovering from the recession years and sales were down more than half from 2008 levels across the industry. The Elite 110 had all the characteristics that make for a good scooter (small size, lots of storage, well designed, peppy) so it would have been nice to see it get more of a chance. Sales have carried on overseas, so one day we may see its return, which would be quite welcome since this model epitomizes what a well designed little Honda is all about.

Doctor Who: Amy's Choice ★★★
A mischievous Dream Lord (Toby Jones) is formed from the Doctor's psyche in this desultory production
By Patrick Mulkern

3.0 out of 5 star rating
Series 5 – Episode 7
"Here's your challenge. Two worlds. Here in the time machine, and there in the village that time forgot. One is real, the other's fake… Tweet, tweet. Time to sleep" – the Dream Lord
Five years into the future, Amy is heavily pregnant and living in marital bliss with Rory in their Upper Leadworth cottage, when the Doctor comes to visit. Then they all wake up in the Tardis, having shared the same dream. The trio begin to doubt what is real and what is a dream, and encounter a mysterious man in a bow tie. The Dream Lord challenges them to choose which world is their reality, with potentially deadly consequences. In the Tardis they are plunging towards a cold star; in Leadworth they're beset by elderly people who have been taken over by alien parasites, Eknodines. Emerging from both nightmares, the Doctor explains that the problem was caused by psychic pollen in the Tardis and that the Dream Lord was a manifestation of the Doctor's darker nature.

RT review by Patrick Mulkern
"Trust nothing you see, hear or feel," says the Doctor. "This is going to be a tricky one." Which neatly sums up my reaction to this episode. On first viewing, I was distinctly underwhelmed by Amy's Choice. With its low-budget scale and lackadaisical pace, it felt like one of the more disappointing episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures.
I was unengaged by the nightmare dilemma facing the Doctor's party, and didn't believe in their emotional responses, especially Amy's after Rory's dust-to-dust "death". (The transmitted version edited down his disintegration, which was on the preview discs.) I was disappointed that, although a lot of action is set within the Tardis, we don't get to see any more of the new set. Without sound effects and lights, it looks like the pump room of a swimming baths.
Having a sense-of-humour failure, I disliked the demonising of elderly people. Are children supposed to look twice at their grandparents? When Mrs Poggit – infested by an Eknodine – attacks Rory, Amy barks, "Whack her!" Which he does, with a log, sending the old girl sideways into the shrubbery. The Doctor, later, sends her tumbling from a first-floor window. It's almost comical, but in dubious taste.
But in the time-honoured tradition of the long-term Doctor Who fan, I am always more than willing to give an episode another chance – even if it's only a few days later. I didn't quite come to an instant re-evaluation. My previous gripes still stand. But here's what I did appreciate:
A more subdued backing track from Murray Gold. The birdsong between dream states. The realisation that, for the first time, the Doctor is travelling with a couple in love. And Simon Nye's script actually has a tight structure and several amusing lines (Amy: "If we're gonna die, let's die looking like a Peruvian folk band").
Nye reinforces the idea that the Doctor is an old man who "prefers the company of the young"; his friends are just "people you acquire" never seen again "once they're grown up". Curiously, the Dream Lord and both dream worlds are drawn from the Time Lord's psyche. The Doctor admits the "psychic pollen" is a mind parasite, which "feeds on everything dark in you. Your inner voice. It turns it against you". And Toby Jones is perfect as the Rumpelstiltskin nightmare emerging from the Doctor's paranoia.
And, back to the thwacking of old folks, I am mollified to realise that the elderly geezer sent flying is seasoned stuntman Nick Hobbs. His association with Who is immense. Way back in 1971, he was the Unit lorry driver hypnotised by the Master in The Claws of Axos. He also played cuddly/ferocious Aggedor in the two Pertwee Peladon stories and a Wirrn in The Ark in Space (1975). That was the stuff of nightmares.

Q: A question about basis of homogeneous polynomials Let $R:= \mathbb{C}[x_1, \dots x_n]$  be the ring of polynomials in $n$ variables over the field of complex numbers.
Let $R_d:=\{f \in R \, | \, f \, \, \, homogeneous \, \, of \, \, \, degree \, \, d\}$
then $R = \bigoplus_{d \in \mathbb{N}} R_d$.
I know that this basically means that every polynomial can be written as the sum of homogeneous polynomials.
So let's say we have $\mathbb{C}[x_1, x_2, x_3]_1$ then $(x_1,x_2,x_3)$ forms a basis for any polynomial of degree $1$, i.e. any polynomial in
$3$ variables over the complex numbers can be written as $f(x_1,x_2,x_3) = ax_1+bx_2+cx_3$ for $a,b,c \in \mathbb{C}$.
Similarly, if I consider $\mathbb{C}[x_1,x_2,x_3]_3$ then the basis is given by all the possible monomials of degree $3$ like $(x_1^3,x_2^3,x_3^3, x_1x_2x_3,x_1x_2^2, x_1x_3^2, x_2x_1^2, x_2x_3^2, x_3x_1^2, x_3x_2^2)$
Then how to formally express that any $f \in R$ can be written as $f=$sum of homogeneous components?

A: Well, its like $f=\sum_{d=0}^n f^{(d)}$, where $f^{(d)}$ is the linear combination of homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$.

A: The statement $R = \bigoplus_{d \in \mathbb{N}} R_d$ means precisely that every element $f$ of $R$ can we written uniquely as a sum of terms chosen respectively from $R_d$ for all $d\in\Bbb N$ (but of these terms all but a finite number must be zero in order for their sum to be defined in the first place). The term in $R_d$ is by definition the homogeneous component of $f$ in degree $d$.
If you really do not want to express the "uniquely" part, you could weaken the statement to $R = \sum_{d \in \mathbb{N}} R_d$ but then you cannot use this to define homogeneous components of $f$.

Described elsewhere as 'eye-popping', we think that only applies to when you dive too deep with insufficient scuba gear. These pink dolphins don't have to worry about that, and neither do when they're on your feet! You'd be crazy to go diving in them. Some shark will get curious and think you're an hors d'oeuvre. The slippers might be more efficient than swim fins though, so who knows.

CHIT-CHAT.—The Chief Justice, with Mr. Justice Dowling
availed themselves of the month's recess in the Supreme Court,
to take a tour into the interior. Mr. John Stephen, Jun. who
has of late made it a practice to dispose of the minor part of the
Police business by attending in his magisterial capacity at the Po-
lice Office every morning at ten o'clock precisely, which is some
time before Mr. Hely can attend, has endeavoured to expedite the
despatch of Police business; it has frequently happened in that
Court, that the magistrates have been sitting idly together on the
Bench for thirty minutes while a long deposition is taking down by
one or other of the clerks; By the new rule of practice, Mr. Ste-
phen employs this lapse of time in disposing of the minor chages,
in which depositions of not more than three lines in writing
are required. Considering the numbers and opulence of those
of the Jewish persuasion in the Colony, it is singular they
do not begin to think of building for themselves a place of
worship suitable to the tenets of their religion. An individual
named Flynn, a very old inhabitant of Sydney, who once
posseesed thousands in the Colony, died a few days ago, in
extreme penury. Mr. Wilkes of Bathurst, has commenced prac-
tice in Sydney as a surgeon, Mr. Redmond, sen. has lately sold
a piece of land of one hundred acres, in conjunction with Annan-
dale, for a sum of one thousand pounds. Some of the late sales
of Orphan School land, fetched 130l. an acre !!! A set of new
streets has been planned across the Old Race Course in Sydney.
The practice which has so long been carried on with impunity, of
taking boats in the harbour from their moorings, by those who
wish for a day's holiday at other people's expense, will no longer
go unpunished; parties who practice this mode of borrowing
boats, will in future have to while away a little of their time in the
House of Correction for their pains. Families in Sydney and up
the country are greatly alarmed at the introduction of the small
pock in the colony; several respectable families have already used
the precaution of having their children vaccinated. The medical
gentlemen, it is said, are of opinion, that wherever the anglo-na-
tives, adult or infantile, are infected with it, the consequences will
be very severe. Sir Thomas Brisbane had his Australian-born
family vaccinated before his departure from the colony. Pearce
and Nicholls, two bush-constables, falling in with a man named
Thomas Worth, a run-a-way from an iron-gang, in the brush at
Cook's River, on Tuesday last discharged their muskets at the man
and wounded him so dangerously, that he died the following day.
He refused to stand upon their repeated calls, running from them.
The man was brought into Sydney in a cart, and conveyed to the
General Hospital, where he lingered and died. In cases of as-
sault at the Sydney Police Office, the magistrates prefer (!Ed.)
hearing only one side of the question—that of the complainants.
It does certainly save time to hear only one or two witnesses, but
the ends of justice we opine, require that both sets of witnesses should
be heard; a Bench is not only a Grand Jury, be it remembered, but
an inquisition also. Mr. Porter of Bathurst, having had to attend
the Quarter Sessions at Sydney, last week, in the character of a
witness, incurred an expense in coming and going of 20l. the
worth of the property stolen being not more than as many shil-
lings. Stealing clandestinely on board the ships in harbour, and
plundering them, has of late become a favourite system with the
Sydney thieves. It has been erroneously stated by one of our
contemporaries, that it is quite a la militaire for a soldier to enter
the Courts of Justice with his cap on; the fact is just the reverse;
a soldier magistrate lately deciding that a soldier was not exempt
from paying that respect to a Court of Justice more than another
individual. The Rainbow, the Hon. Captain Rous, is expected
back to Port in a few days. There is some report of Government
discharging the free seamen from the vessels in service. The
Sydney Bench of magistrates are likely to prove severe arbitrators
in all cases of stealing or cutting down timber on farms; wood is
wood now-a-days, as the saying is, and to take it, is like a man
walking into another's stack-yard, and taking part of his
hay away. Messrs. Mackey and Dixon, it is said, have nearly
sixteen thousand gallons of colonial brewed ale, none of which has
been disposed of by the firm at present, on account of their wishing
to give it good age. There is no necessity to serve personal notices
upon persons who have been once bound in sureties to appear at
the Quarter Sessions in the character of witnesses, as has been
erroneously supposed. The next sittings of the Supreme Court
will tell tales in the case of some who neglected to attend at the
last Quarter Sessions in the character of witnesses in charges of
larceny; the names of the defaulters have all been handed over to
the Attorney General to be estreated. The grain and cattle market

cleverly—in the second heat Scratch came in three lengths
ahead. Bets at starting were 5 to 4, and sterling to cur-
ency on Scratch. After the first heat betting varied—odds
on Australian—after the second heat betting was even; at
starting for the third heat, odds were 6 to 4 on Scratch.
Both horses changed jockies during the race. Mr. Bayley

stirrup irons; next day a second match was made between
these horses, to run over the Parramatta Race Course this

parched up—-some specimens of alum, brimstone, limestone,
saltpetre, and coal, have been brought to Sydney from the
Volcano. It is the most uninteresting Volcano we ever heard
an account of. It is told us as a fact, that Archdeacon Scott,
on being asked when he had last heard from Mr. Com-
missioner Bigge, made answer that he had not been expect-
ing any letters from Mr. B. for some time past; the latter
having reasons to suppose him on his way to England.—A
Letter was lately transmitted through one of the up-country

A small boat, 15 feet or so in the keel, was seen off Broken Bay

surprising how men will hazard their lives to so little purpose.
Our small coasting crafts are seldom well manned, though perhaps,
there is not a coast on the Globe more frequented by squalls than
this, and one where more caution is necessary, at this season of

Dr. Little, of Upper Hunters River, resides about twenty miles
on this side the mountainous range which separates his District
from Liverpool Plains. He lately crossed that range, and on
coming to a hut, found, to his horror and astonishment, the
bodies of some half dozen of black natives, stretched along the
earth. From the putrid state of the corpses, it was evident they
had been slaughtered a long time. He pursued his journey till he
fell in with the white people, stock-keepers and others. He learnt
from them, that a large body of the blacks had suddenly made their
appearance, but whether they paid their visit hostilely, or merely
came in great numbers for self-protection, the stock-keepers ad-
mitted they could not tell. However, acting in concert, our people
commenced a destructive fire of musquetry upon them, and the
blacks presently fled. Such were the circumstances of the fight,
that some of the black fugitives on being pursued, ascended the
trees in hopes of escaping, whence they were brought down by the
balls of their assailants.
THE Government, we believe, is in possession of this piece of
intelligence, and has ordered an enquiry. This is as it ought to be.
The murder of the poor blacks at Hunter's River in former times,
has been most shamefully concealed by the chief settlers there (we
dare not speak more particularly)—and of those who saw them
murdered, it so happened unfortunately only those were sent up as
evidenccs who had been for merly guilty of perjury themselves.
On account of the excellent character and freedom from
malice of the person once implicated in putting a black to
death, we forbore to say at the time what it was in our
hearts to say. We conceive it possible that it was cow-
ardice rather than malice in the stock-keepers of Liverpool Plains,
which has not caused them to slaughter the black people. Still, let
justice be done. Let there be no smugglings of evidence nor
other under-hand concealments. Let the Inquest be fair
and open; the evidence published; the people tried if in
fault; and let justice have its course. A Jury will know how
to acquit the accused of murder, and to bring in a verdict of man-
slaughter, in case cowardice and not malice have been their fault.
And our present Judges in awarding punilshment, will know well
how to temper justice with mercy. Still we say, let an Inquest
be ordered, the evidence published, and the parties, if not found
without culpability, put on their trial. If we hang the blacks for
murder, we ought to try the whites and do equal justice by them.
We suppose the paragraph in one of our contemporaries as to
the finding of two white men near Goulburn Plains, has its origin
in the above catastrophe. Our readers may depend upon the cor-
rectness of the facts stated by us as above. Dr. Little does not re-
side at Goulburn Plains, but at Upper Hunter's River ; and in lieu
of finding two dead white men, he found a number of putrid
corpses of the native blacks.
OLD BANK.—We have room only to insert the names of the
new Directors who were chosen yesterday by ballot to this post;
viz. Mr. Jones, Mr. Wentworth, Dr. Wardell, Mr. Raine, Mr.
Ramsey, Mr. Scott, Mr. D. Cooper, Mr. Savage, Mr. Vine, Mr.
Cavanagh, Mr. Terry, Mr. Pittman. The capital of this Bank in
the course of a month, will be three times that of the Bank of
Australia. Some persons think some of the New Directors are
not sufficiently skilled in the science of finances. Abilities some
what under those of a Chancellor of Exchequer, however, will do,
we imagine, for the management of a Bank of moderate extent.
the new Directors have shewn themselves capital financiers in ac-
cumulating and taking care of their own money, and we rather
thinks as the old Bank has ever since its formation been getting
into financial difficulties, the mother's wit of the new Directors will
perhaps be found as useful to preserve the Institution from similar
scrapes, as any other ingredient that might be compounded by the
Proprietors.

PUBG Mobile, Game For Peace Revenue Crosses $4.8 Million a Day: Sensor Tower
China's Internet powerhouse Tencent's revenue from PUBG Mobile and its new version, Game For Peace, spanned $4.8 million (roughly Rs. 33 crores) a day in May, becoming the worlds best grossing mobile app, according to a new report from mobile program intelligence firm Sensor Tower.
The 2 versions combined to create an estimated $146 million in player spending during the month of May, roughly 126 percent greater compared to nearly $65 million PUBG Mobile alone grossed in April, according to the quote which excluded Android earnings from China.
Of the entire revenue in May out of PUBG Mobile, Game For Peace, nearly $101 million came from Apple's store, and $45.3 million in Google's platform.
Added together, the earnings from both versions of PUBG Mobile earned roughly 17 percent greater than the almost $125 million produced by second-place Honor of Kings, also from Tencent, Randy Nelson, Head of Mobile Insights, Sensor Tower composed in a blog article, including that the quote excluded Android revenue from China.
"App Store and Google Play users worldwide spent an average of $4.8 million daily last month involving the two PUBG Mobile versions," Nelson wrote.
"The primary rival to both of Tencent's names, Fortnite from Epic Games, had its best month up to now from 2019 on iOS, but its whole player spending of $43.3 million was just about 43 percent of Game for Peace and PUBG Mobile's combined demand for May," Nelson stated.

the road being clear, Captain Douthatt, with some one hundred dragoons, in compliance wit Colonel Magruder's orders, pursued. The enemy in his haste threw away hundreds of canteens, haversacks, overcoats, &c.; even the dead were thrown out of the wagons. The pursuit soon became a chase, and for the third time the enemy won the race over the New Market course. The bridge was torn up behind him and our dragoons returned to camp. There were not quite eight hundred of my regiment day. All remained manfully at the posts assigned them and not a man in the behaved badly. The companies not engaged were as much exposed and rendered equal service with those participating in the fight. They deserve equally the thanks of the country. In fact, if is the most trying ordeal to which soldiers can be subjected, to receive a fire which their orders forbid them to return. Had a single company left its post our works would have been exposed; and the constancy and discipline of the unengaged companies cannot be too highly companies cannot be too highly commended. A detachment of fifteen cadets from the North Carolina Military Institute defended the howitzer under Lieutenant Hudnall, and acted with great coolness and determination.
I cannot speak in too high terms of my two fields officers, Lieutenant-Colonel and Major Lane. Their services have been of the highest importance since taking the field to the present moment. My thanks, too, are due, in an especial manner, to Lieutenant J. M. Poteat, adjutant, and Lieutenant J. W. Ratchford aide, both of them cadets of the North Carolina Institute at Charlotte. The latter received a contusion in the forehead from a grape shot, which nearly cost him his life. Captain Bridgers' Company, A; Lieutenant Owens, commanding Company B; Captain ross, Company C; Captain Ashe, Company D; Captain McDowell, Company E; Captain Starr, Company F; Captain Avery, Company G; Captain Huske, Company H; Lieutenant Whittaker, commanding Company I; Captain Hoke, Company K, displayed great coolness, judgement, and efficiency. Lieutenant Gregory is highly spoken of by Major Lane for soldierly bearing on the 8th. Lieutenants Cook and McKethan Company H, crossed over under a heavy fire to the assistance of the troops attacked on the left. So did Lieutenant Cohen, Company C. Lieutenant Hoke has shown great zeal, energy, and judgment as an engineer officer on various occasions.
Corporal George Williams, Privates Henry L, Wyatt, Thomas Fallan, and John Thorpe, Company A, volunteered to burn the house which concealed the enemy. They behaved with great gallantry. Wyatt was killed and the other three were recalled.
Sergeant Thomas J. Stewart and Private William McDowell, Company A, reconnoitered the position of the enemy, and went far in advance of our troops. Private J. W. Potts, of Company B, is specially mentioned by his company commander; so are Sergeant William Elmo, Company C; Sergeants C. L. Watts, W. H. McDade, Company D; Sergeant J. M. Young, Corporal John Dingler, Privates G. H. A. Adams, R. V. Gudger G. W. Werly, John C. Wright, T. Y. Little, J. F. Jenkins, Company E; R. W. Stedman, M. E. Dye, H. E. Benton, J. B. Smith, Company F; G. W. Buhmannn, James C. McRae, Company H.
Casualties.-Private Henry L. Wyatt, Company K, mortally wounded; Lieutenant J. W. Ratchford, contusion; Private Council Rodgers, Company H, severely wounded; Private Charles Williams, Company H, severely wounded; Private S. Patterson, Company D, slightly wounded; Private William White, Company K, wounded; Private Peter Poteat, Company G, slightly wounded.

Congratulatory Letter to Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un from Chongryon Central Standing Committee
Posted on August 15, 2020 August 15, 2020 by Mallima
Pyongyang, August 15 (KCNA) — Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un received a congratulatory letter from the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) on Aug. 15, the 75th anniversary of Korea's liberation.
The letter said that President Kim Il Sung is the hero of the Korean nation and the founder of socialist Korea who saved Korea, which had been deprived of its own colour on the world map, and built a full-fledged independent and sovereign state and a country whose people became its masters, adding that he has always been remembered by the world progressives as the most prominent leader in the 20th century and the sun of Juche for his undying feats for the Korean revolution and the cause of global independence.
It said that Chairman Kim Jong Il regarded it as his lifetime mission to carry forward and accomplish the cause of Juche pioneered by President Kim Il Sung and turned the country into an invincible political and ideological power and a military power. As he took warm care of Koreans in Japan with paternal affection and reliably defended them with the treasured sword of Songun, Chongryon could demonstrate to the whole world its honor as a patriotic pioneer and a model of patriotism and loyalty and overseas compatriots organizations, it added.
It said that Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un is adding luster and giving steady continuity to the proud history and traditions of the country liberated and glorified by the great leaders.
The letter expressed the will to intensify the patriotic movement by putting spurs to the five-month intensive campaign for greeting "Chongryon Chapter Representative Conference-2020" (the third conference for a new heyday) with high zeal and achievements in work, keeping pace with the dynamic general advance of the people in the homeland who are all out in the offensive for making a breakthrough head-on to greet the 75th founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea with brilliant labor feats.
The Chongryon Central Standing Committee in the letter sincerely wished the respected Supreme Leader good health, reflecting the intense loyalty and reverence of all the Chongryon officials and other Koreans in Japan for him. -0-

The Difference Between a Hierarchical Organization & a Wheel-and-Spoke System
By Rick Suttle

Roles of Organizational Structure
Different Types of Organizational Structure
There are several key differences between a hierarchical organization and a wheel-and-spoke system. They vary in terms of types of functions covered and adaptability. Each of these two formations have their inherent advantages in certain situations.
A hierarchical organization pertains mainly to the formation of different managers within a company. Most managers have certain ranks. The president or chief executive officer usually sits at the top of the organization, with the vice presidents, directors and managers of different functional areas falling below them. Functional areas include marketing, finance, brand and accounting, for example. Sometimes, hierarchical organizations are centered around specific products, such as in department store companies. Wheel-and-spoke systems primarily are used for procurement and distribution. For example, a company procures the necessary raw materials at the hub or center, then distributes them to various regions. The regional plants receive and process the raw materials at the wheel. Similarly, companies that deliver products also use wheel-and-spoke systems. Deliveries are organized at the hub and distributed along the spokes to different areas.
Hierarchical organizational structures usually cover more of the company than wheel-and-spoke systems. A small company, for example, typically uses a hierarchical structure for its entire organization. All managers have specific ranks and duties. Conversely, a wheel-and-spoke system may cover only part of an organization. For example, a small delivery company may have a hierarchical system in place for managers and a wheel-and-spoke system for making deliveries. The exception is Internet or mail order companies. These organizations may operate exclusively through a wheel-and-spoke network.
Small companies generally can change hierarchical structures to meet their needs, while wheel-and-spoke systems usually are set. For example, a small business owner may decide to use a more customer-based organizational structure if she starts acquiring more diverse customers. She can develop her hierarchy around customers, enabling employees to specialize in serving specific customers. Most wheel-and-spoke systems already are set up as efficiently as possible to cover orders and deliveries.
Small companies may set up their regional divisions as wheel-and-spoke systems, while still maintaining a hierarchical structure at the corporate office. This type of setup is common with businesses that are heavily sales-oriented. An example includes a company in the industrial sales industry. Regional marketing often reports to sales in this type of organization. Divisional sales and marketing managers are at the hub. Sales reps use spoke and cloverleaf patterns when calling on customers, covering certain areas first. The roundness of the wheel represents the customers in various areas of the territory.

The Kulikalon Lakes, also spelt Kul-i Kalon, are a group of three glacial lakes, or tarns, in the Zeravshan Mountains of south-western Sughd Province in western Tajikistan. The lakes and their surrounds have been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA).

Description
The lakes are 55 km south-east of the district centre of Panjakent.  They lie in the Kulikalon cirque among remnants of juniper forest. They are fed by meltwater from the Chimtarga glacier, with water levels peaking in summer, and are drained by the Artuch River. The middle part of the cirque is at an altitude of 2800 m above sea level with the adjacent mountains rising to 3000–3500 m. The area contains the largest remaining blocks of juniper forest in the western half of the Zeravshan Range, on the edge of the Chimtarga massif. The area around the lakes is used as pasture.

Birds
The site was classified as an IBA because it supports significant numbers of the populations of various bird species, either as residents, or as breeding or passage migrants.  These include Himalayan snowcocks, saker falcons, Himalayan vultures, solitary snipe, yellow-billed choughs, Hume's larks, sulphur-bellied warblers, wallcreepers, white-winged redstarts, brown accentors, water pipits, crimson-winged finches and white-winged grosbeaks.
