5 Genealogy Activities to Do in March
By Rachel Fountain
This March, observe Women's History Month by paying extra attention to your female forbears! In the past, women appeared in records with far less frequency than men, especially under their own names (rather than their husbands'). If you don't already know who they married, it's easy to lose track of women before or after their surnames changed. For these reasons, it often takes extra effort to identify and trace women throughout their entire lives. Try these 5 tasks to get to know the females on your family tree this month.

1. Interview a female relative
Request some time from an older woman in your family (mother, grandmother, aunt or sister) to sit down and chat about their lives, experiences and memories. If you can do this in-person, you'll likely have a more meaningful experience. But if you need to talk via Skype or Google Hangouts, you can use software such as SnagIt to audio- or video-record the conversation.
Before the interview, share with your subject the topics you hope to discuss, and give her veto power over any she doesn't want to talk about. Ask her if there's anything (or anyone) she'd especially like to tell you about. Get permission to record the conversation for family history purposes. Express your willingness to turn off the recorder if there's something she wants to say off-the-record (and then stick to your commitment).
A lot of things have changed in women's lives in recent decades. Don't forget to ask your female relative about the changes that have affected her the most—and what she thinks of them. You might also ask what she thinks has not changed, for the better or the worst. Listen carefully to her perspective and don't judge her or try to get her to change her way of thinking. This is a time to appreciate her for who she is. Thank her sincerely for sharing her thoughts and feelings, whether you agree with them or not. Here are some additional tips on interviewing a relative.
2. Find your female ancestors in all available records
Especially as you go back further in time, information about the women in your family may be buried in records about the men. Dig into documents about the husband, siblings (especially brothers), parents and children. Look for her unknown surnames in relatives' obituaries, her marriage record(s) and her children's birth records (find more strategies here for learning a woman's maiden name).
In older times, you may have to look even harder for women. Especially in the South, you may find brides mentioned in marriage bonds or the dower release portion of a land record. See if she appears as a widow in her husband's military pension records. I once confirmed the identity of a woman by finding her mentioned in her brother's delayed birth record, shown below (read about that here.)
3. Tease apart multiple marriages and identify step relationships
Try to be accurate and precise about the marriages and family groups on your tree. Wherever possible, follow clues indicating that a parent is actually a step-parent; that a mother has more children you've already accounted for; or that someone was previously or subsequently married to someone else. Try to learn what you can about earlier or later marriages, including whether they ended by the partner's death, divorce or bigamy.
Remember that when you attach records to individuals in your online trees, the sites may automatically attach children to step-parents who may appear as parents in census records. Untangle any mistakes that have been made by removing or clarifying relationships on your trees.
4. Follow all the daughters into adulthood
Your great-aunts and cousins deserve more than to be left dangling on a family tree with no further information than what you attach to their childhood census records. While you may understandably not want to put the same kind of effort into fully reconstructing the lives of collateral kin, try to at least account for them later in life.
Did they marry? Move away or stay local? How and when did they die? Note what you've learned on their tree profiles. What you learn may affect your understanding of the ancestors you care most about. Learning that your great-grandma's little sister became a Catholic nun or that her older sister helped raise her after their mama died certainly tells you more about that great-grandma, as well. You may come to recognize patterns, too:
"Researching family and friends can reveal patterns that you won't notice if you keep a narrow focus only on your direct ancestors. Naming patterns or physical traits might emerge, such as several members of the family being left-handed or sharing an eye color. Other patterns might include occupations, military service, religion, or even reveal social status, class or education level."
–Vanessa Wieland in "Cluster and Collateral Research to Find Ancestors"
5. Pay attention to maternal DNA
If you've taken an autosomal DNA test, sort your matches to learn more about mom's side of the family. In AncestryDNA's updated Matching experience, you can now see whether someone matches you on your mother's or father's side (assuming it has been identified):
You can also take an mtDNA test to learn more about your direct maternal line. "Because we all have our mother's mtDNA, anyone can take an mtDNA test to learn about maternal-line origins—and sometimes about family history," writes Diahan Southard in this article. "Your origins information is provided in the form of an mtDNA haplogroup assignment. This is just a set of letters and numbers, such as H1a1a2b, that describes where your ancestor may have been thousands of years ago. You also get a list of people who have the same mtDNA profile as you do. Unlike autosomal DNA matches, your mtDNA matches don't necessarily share a recent ancestor with you. Because mtDNA rarely mutates, there's no good way to tell if a match is your second cousin or your 22nd cousin."
If you test early enough in March, you may have your results back by Mother's Day. (Family Tree DNA, the only major vendor of mtDNA testing for genealogy, requires 6-8 weeks to process your test.)

The survey, which included a nationally representative group of 1,066 middle-aged adults, also found that only 41 percent of participants felt they had very good or excellent oral health, and more than a quarter had delayed or skipped needed dental care in the past two years. Of those, 69 percent said the cost of dental care was a major barrier.
These findings are concerning, says Erica Solway, associate director of the NPHA. "People may not have good oral health going into their older years," she notes. "The likelihood that they'll have serious problems in the future is much higher if they're not getting the preventive care that they need."
Solway says many people don't realize that Medicare does not cover routine dental care. So for some, retirement may mean the end of being able to pay for a dentist.
Yet the older people get, the more susceptible they become to periodontal disease, or gum disease, says Jay W. Friedman, an expert on dental public health and an adviser to Consumer Reports.
Poor oral health can also take an emotional toll. The survey found that one-third of people 50 to 64 feel embarrassed by the appearance of their teeth.
Here, tips for keeping your teeth healthy as you age.
●Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste, rinsing thoroughly after brushing.
●Floss regularly to remove food particles between teeth.
●Avoid sugary foods and drinks, which can promote tooth decay. Drinking plain water is best.
●If you struggle with dry mouth, which can increase your risk of tooth decay, try increasing your production of saliva by using sugar-free chewing gum or eating hard candy with xylitol, a natural sweetener that has fewer calories than sugar. Ask your doctor whether any of your medications might be contributing to a dry mouth.
●And if you don't already get your teeth checked once a year, do so. Routine care can help prevent significant issues down the road. "If people do end up having dental problems, some of them can be very expensive to treat," Solway says.
If you're working, you may be able to get coverage through your job. Your employer may also offer a retirement health plan that includes dental care. Some health plans available through the Affordable Care Act marketplace also include dental coverage. And veterans can buy dental insurance at a reduced cost.
Other options include dental savings plans and dental health maintenance organizations, or DHMOs. In a dental savings plan, you'll pay an annual fee in exchange for discounts of up to 50 percent at many dental offices across the country. In a DHMO, you pay an annual fee in exchange for regular checkups and cleanings from participating dentists, and receive discounts on more-complicated procedures.
You'll probably want to skip buying private dental insurance plans, our experts say, because these are often very expensive and may not cover procedures such as root canals and crowns.
Look up rates of many dental procedures in your local area using tools such as Fair Health Consumer (fairhealthconsumer.org) or Healthcare Bluebook (healthcarebluebook.com). Then ask your dentist for a comparable price.
Your local health department or community health center may also offer low-cost care. Tooth Wisdom (toothwisdom.org) can help you find these services, or you can call your health department.
And if there's a dental school in your area, you may be able to get discounted care from dental students.

NFU Supports Revised Cattle Market Legislation
WASHINGTON – Today, the Cattle Price Discovery and Transparency Act of 2022 was publicly released, led by Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Deb Fischer (R-NE), and Ron Wyden (D-OR). The bill is a revised version of similar legislation introduced last year. As with the 2021 version, National Farmers Union (NFU) supports the bill and urges Congress to act quickly to pass this critically important legislation.
"Rampant consolidation in the cattle industry has made pricing in the cattle market increasingly opaque," said NFU President Rob Larew. "Fair and competitive markets rely on price discovery and transparency. For farmers and ranchers to bargain effectively with packers, they need access to reliable, accurate pricing information. This bill would shed light on the market and bring about greater fairness.
"NFU thanks Senators Tester, Grassley, Fischer, and Wyden for their continued leadership on this issue. The bill improves upon the version from November 2021, and we encourage swift action by the Senate and House on this legislation."
The Cattle Price Discovery and Transparency Act of 2022 makes important reforms, including:
Establishing mandatory minimum purchase volumes for packers through "approved pricing mechanisms" based on five to seven geographic regions, to be determined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Bringing more transparency by requiring reporting of cattle weights and slaughter deliveries two weeks in advance.
Clarifying and implementing a cattle contract library.
Increasing penalties for violations by packers.
Requiring livestock mandatory reporting data be made consistently available.
Further details about the bill from the cosponsors are available here. The full text of the bill is available here.

United Kingdom Travel information
The tourism industry is committed to helping climate change
#Ecotourism #United Kingdom
Green initiatives are multiplying in the world of travel and transport. Airlines, cruise lines, hotels, tour operators, everyone is taking action to save the planet. Labels, new non-polluting technologies, the concept of absorption and compensation, here are a few ideas to help you combine travel and ecology!

The airline industry is aware of the pollution generated by air travel, and has made great efforts in recent years to offset its CO2 emissions. Air France is a leader in cutting carbon emissions, and its latest initiative to date is a commitment to plant trees to offset the emissions for all its domestic flights. Nearly 500 trees are set to be planted every day, an investment of several million euros. Air France has partnered with the A Tree For You association, which promotes tree-planting projects in France and abroad. Note however that these projects are not certified by carbon standards (Gold Standard, VCS, Plan Vivo, etc.) and therefore cannot be considered as carbon offsetting projects strictly speaking. Instead, they are absorption projects. Air France CEO Anne Rigail also states that Air France has already reduced its CO2 emissions by 20% between 2011 and 2018, and wishes to continue in this direction by developing more sustainable aviation based on innovation and investment. Single-use plastics have already been banned since January 2020.
Carbon offsetting and absorption
Fortunately, Air France is not alone in following this path toward sustainable travel. Other airlines are following suit, including low-cost carriers such as EasyJet, which recently announced 100% offsetting of its CO2 emissions across its entire network by 2020. In this case, EasyJet is focused on carbon offsetting and not absorption, as both programmes are accredited by the Gold Standard and VCS (Verified Carbon Standard). EasyJet notably supports reforestation projects in South America and Africa, but also solar energy projects in India and other initiatives in Uganda and Eritrea. In addition, the Orange group is partnering with Airbus to design a hybrid and electric aircraft, planned for 2030. Travel company the Voyageurs Collection, part of the Original Travel group, is also leading the way when it comes to luxury travel. Their tailor-made trips are 100% carbon neutral, meaning that the CO2 released by each customer's travel is offset or absorbed by reforestation efforts that are funded by the company.
Hybrid-powered cruise ships
There is a lot of talk about the flight-shame movement, popularized by the Swedish term "flygskam", but less about the shame of taking an ocean liner or cruise ship, which pollute just as much as a commercial aircraft. In this area too, ecological initiatives are on the increase. For example, the cruise line MSC is currently investing in the most up-do-date environment-helping technologies. The company is going to bring out five ships running on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), the cleanest fossil fuel currently available. Another ecological alternative is a fuel cell with zero ship emissions, planned for 2022. MSC is a pioneer in this technology. Another initiative is smoke scrubbers that will equip the entire MSC fleet by 2021. These will remove 97% of sulfur dioxide on the ship. The list of initiatives also includes the end of plastic, recycling of aluminium and filtered water thanks to a desalination system, and competition will inevitably follow as demand for green initiatives grows. In November 2019, Hurtigruten, a Norwegian cruise specialist, inaugurated the MS Roald Amundsen in the Antarctic, the first ship with hybrid propulsion, with batteries powered by low-emission engines.
Svart, the world's most sustainable hotel
North of the Arctic Circle in Norway, the Svart Hotel will be inaugurated in 2021 at the foot of the Svartisen glacier. The circular, sustainable building on stilts will consume 85% less energy than a normal establishment thanks to renewable energy sources: solar panels on the roof, terraces and screens arranged to take advantage of the sun, geothermal wells connected to pumps, etc. It will also be self-sufficient since it will generate its own electricity. Its circular shape serves to optimize the accumulation of solar energy. The architects were careful to use only materials with the smallest possible carbon footprint, such as wood. The Start, which presents itself as the most environmentally friendly hotel in the world, will be accessible only by sea in energy-neutral boats.
57,000 trees planted in Madagascar thanks to the Breton tour operator Salaün
As for tour operators, the French company Salaün Holidays aims to become carbon neutral by the end of 2020, with the help of its partner Air France, which operates 70% of its flights, generating 45,000 tonnes of CO2, and of its service providers in countries where it has a strong presence: replacement of wood-fired ovens (which generate fine particles that pollute the air) with new non-polluting ovens in Vietnam, planting trees in India, etc. At the same time, the tour operator is stepping up its green initiatives, such as developing "zero emissions" trips with the French national railway operator, SNCF, or publishing brochures on environmental issues. Michel Salün, the group's CEO, says that he has contributed to reforestation in Brittany with Ecotree, by planting 2,500 trees. He concedes that it's insufficient in terms of absorption, but it's only the beginning! In Madagascar, 57,000 trees are also being planted on the initiative of the Breton group.
Kappa Club, the first TO club to obtain the ATR label
Even the clubs are getting into it! For example, Kappa Club has obtained the French ATR label (Acting for responsible tourism), which distinguishes the commitments of travel operators in terms of responsible tourism, a first for a TO club! It joins tour operators such as Voyageurs du Monde and Salaün. All CO2 emissions will have to be offset by 2025. The club brand of tour operator Boomerang Voyages (NG Travel) now has around 30 clubs in 18 destinations, and has been aware of ecological issues since its creation in 2013. They've always put forth a tourism formula that favours meetings with the local population, meals in local homes and cultural discoveries. For its part, the tourism giant TUI already has 22 clubs certified by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, where plastic cups and straws have been banned. This organisation is the world's leading authority on sustainable development in the travel and tourism sector for professionals in the sector.

Q: How to call a function inside of another function multiple times I am creating a rock paper scissors game where I have a  playRound() function. I am trying to create a game() function where I can call this playRound() function multiple times with different results.
I want to use this game() function to play multiple rounds in order to find a winner
but I am still stuck on getting the playRound() to run multiple times.
With my current code, the playRound() function only runs once in the console.
Here is my code :
function playRound(playerSelection, computerSelection) {
  const lose = "You Lose! Paper beats rock";
  const win = "You Win! rock beats paper";
  const tie = "its a tie";
  console.log(`Your selection is : ${playerSelection}`);

  console.log(`PC selection is : ${computerSelection}`);
  if (playerSelection === playerSelection && computerSelection === "paper") {
    return lose;
  } else if (
    playerSelection === playerSelection &&
    computerSelection === "scissors"
  ) {
    return win;
  } else {
    return tie;
  }
}

function game() {
  for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    return playRound(playerSelection, computerSelection);
  }
}

function computerPlay() {
  let choices = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"];
  let choice = choices[Math.floor(Math.random() * choices.length)];
  return choice;
}
const string = "ROck";

const playerSelection = string.toLowerCase() || string.toUpperCase();

const computerSelection = computerPlay();

console.log(game());

A: Not only is your game() function returning the results of the round thus leaving the loop... but you are setting the computerSelection only once... before calling the game() function.. so neither playerSelection or computerSelection ever changes.
I rearranged your code a bit and added an overall game score.  Take a look.

function playRound(playerSelection, round) {
  console.log("Round " + round);
  const computerSelection = computerPlay();
  console.log(`Your selection is : ${playerSelection}`);
  console.log(`PC selection is : ${computerSelection}`);
  if (playerSelection === playerSelection && computerSelection === "paper") {
    return 'lose';
  } else if (
    playerSelection === playerSelection &&
    computerSelection === "scissors"
  ) {
    return 'win';
  } else {
    return 'tie';
  }
}

function game() {
  const lose = "You Lose! Paper beats rock";
  const win = "You Win! Rock beats scissors";
  const tie = "It's a tie";
  let playerScore = 0;
  let computerScore = 0;
  for (let i = 1; i < 4; i++) {
    const result = playRound(playerSelection, i);
    switch (result) {
      case 'win':
        console.log(win);
        playerScore++;
        break;
      case 'lose':
        console.log(lose);
        computerScore++;
        break;
      default:
        console.log(tie);
        playerScore++;
        computerScore++;
        break;
    }
  }
  console.log("Final Results: Player: " + playerScore + " Computer: " + computerScore);
  if (playerScore > computerScore) {
    console.log("You win the game!");
  } else if (playerScore < computerScore) {
    console.log("You lose the game.");
  } else {
    console.log("The game was an overall tie.");
  }
}

function computerPlay() {
  let choices = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"];
  let choice = choices[Math.floor(Math.random() * choices.length)];
  return choice;
}

const playerSelection = "rock";
game();

This is a 3D terrain engine which supports HUGE terrains. The biggest size that I recommend is a 512x512 terrain, however you can go higher. It has a colormap, a detailmap (with LOD) and an overlaying texture to draw the terrain.
-I have used surfacefix.dll to prevent Zfighting between the detailmap, the colormap and the overlay texture, and they draw perfectly over top of each other. I have to thank Effexgames for this idea, as I was stumped on how to prevent Zfighting between different layers of the terrain without changing the Z value of the models. Since GM uses an 8bit Zbuffer it was a really noticeable gap between the layers and it just wouldn't do.
-Since heightmaps take such a long time to load I've included a converter which converts the heightmap into a grid, and saves the grid as a terrain file. This terrain file takes only a few seconds to load as opposed to a couple minutes for the heightmap.
-The example terrain included is a 512x512 heightmap. The only way that it is possible to use a terrain this vast in size in GameMaker is to split it into many smaller models and only draw the terrain around you.


Thread: You just can't beat Modesta!
I'll have more pictures soon but every time I put Modesta on a car it amazes me! I've used a whole lot of them out there, but I swear there's nothing like it!
Re: You just can't beat Modesta!
What makes it so good? I've seen it on a few vehicles but have never used it.
Just an impressive depth of Shine and serious durability!
Might be the ultimate look I am after!
That Ferrari is nice and all but is that an Eley hose reel I see?
Tough to argue with your results.
Thank you! Yes that is the reel, best investment in a hose reel I've made in 20 years!
Forgot, holding 120 feet of Griot's hose.
Things are absolute tanks, makes dealing with a hose a pretty inconsequential task.
Even though I have one, when we sold parents house last fall I made sure to unbolt theirs from wall before closing and bring home. Just too nice an item to leave behind.
"Furniture, appliances...whatever; but that Eley`s coming with me!"
Couldn`t agree more. My Eley hose reel was one of the best investments ive made. I got the dumb expensive cart model, as a mobile detailer I needed a mobile option. Carries my 100` hose effortlessly and is still like new after 2 years of mobile business. I cant even begin to think about how many cheap plastic or steel construction ones I would of suffered thru in that time frame.
Whats the durability claims and your real world experience with modesta? Im just this year getting into offering coatings (far from becoming a certified detailer but working toward it) and any info I can gather helps!
Is that a deep scratch or hair in the last pic? My eye got drawn right to it. lol. Ouch if its a deep one.
Sorry, hair got there LOL! Have had BC08 on the wife's car, outside 24/7 and unfortunately poorly maintained for 3 plus years. Still after a maintenance wash it looks like I just did it. Have clients easily at the 3 year mark still calling me and raving about the ease of care!
Mike lambert- Is the Modesta still a, uhm..."Certified Pros Only" product? Just curious...it must indeed be good for you to have remained enamored of it for so long with all the Miracle Products on the market these days.
Oh, and how long has the GG hose lasted for you so far? My first set lasted pretty long, but IIRC they said they`d only replace them once; my current ones are now twice-repaired and I went with others for the foamgun hoses (I wanted `em color-coded for easy differentiation anyhow).
Best Wax to use over Modesta ??


Organized by Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation (ASSIST) under its flagship program DigiBayanihan, in partnership with Out of The Box and Zamboanga City Councilor BG Guingona, the Media Literacy Workshop was held at Ateneo de Zamboanga University last February 28, 2018. With the theme, "Media, Mash Up, and More", the workshop discussed how campus journalists can become more critical consumers and responsible producers of media. Councilor Guingona was also officially awarded as a DigiBayanihan Champion.

Iridoideae is one of the two main subfamilies in the popular family Iridaceae. It contains the best-known genus - Iris. The members of this subfamily are widely distributed worldwide. They grow in all continents except Antarctica.

They produce typical sword-shaped leaves and have mainly corms or rhizomes. There are some exceptions which have bulbs. These are two subgenera of Iris - Xiphium and Hermodactyloides.

The blooms, which are often scented, are arranged in often terminal inflorescences. Each flower has six petals. In most cases three of them are separated from the others and are specialized in different functions. However some are not, as in Nemastylis. Nectar is produced in their base. In some of the species the stamens are partially fused with the petals.

The 3-locular seed capsule contains the seeds which are often circular, flat in some cases drop-like grains coloured black or sometimes orange (Iris pseudacorus).

The species in the subfamily are often used as ornamental plants such as Iris and Tigridia.  There are also species members which are at risk in their natural environment such as some subspecies of Ferraria crispa and Moraea villosa.

Norway's GPFG returns 3.2% for quarter
Sophie Baker
The Government Pension Fund Global, Oslo, returned 3.2% in the three months ended Sept. 30 in international currency terms, bolstered by strong equity returns.
An update by the fund said assets were 7.95 trillion Norwegian kronor ($998.9 billion) as of Sept. 30, down 0.85% from June 30. Assets grew 11.72% for the 12 months.
The quarterly return was equivalent to a 192 billion kronor gain. For the second quarter, the fund returned 2.6% or 202 billion kronor; and for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2016, the fund achieved a 4% return, equivalent to 240 billion kronor.
The fund invests in international securities. Returns are generally measured in international currency, a weighted combination of currencies in the fund's benchmark indexes for equities and bonds. The currency basket consisted of 34 currencies as of Sept. 30.
However, in local currency terms the fund had a 0.71% loss for the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with a 2.15% return for the second quarter. For the third quarter 2016, the fund made a 0.41% loss in kronor terms.
The fund's equity investments gained 4.3% in international currency terms, and gained 0.4% in kronor terms. The fund's equity allocation was 65.9%.
The strongest contributor to equity returns came from emerging markets, said the update, gaining 6.4% in the third quarter and accounting for 10.2% of the equity portfolio. China's stock market returned 10.4% and accounted for 3.2% of the fund's equity investments.
Fixed income gained 0.8%, but lost 2.93% in kronor terms. The allocation was 31.6%.
Unlisted real estate accounted for the remaining 2.5% of the fund portfolio, returning 2.7% in international currency. In kronor terms the allocation lost 1.16%.
"We have had positive results in all asset classes so far this year, and especially the return on our equity investments has been very good," said Yngve Slyngstad, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management – which runs the fund's assets – in the update. "In this quarter, the return on equity investments was driven by economic growth globally and good results from the companies."
Mr. Slyngstad warned the fund "must be prepared for volatile stock markets, and can not expect such a return every quarter."
The kronor appreciated against main currencies in the quarter, decreasing the value of the fund by 250 billion kronor, added the update.

City of Lethbridge and United Way partnership provides local non-profits with access to grant-writing expertise
Submitted by Connolly Tate on Tuesday, July 31st, 2018
City of Lethbridge and United Way partnership provides local
non-profits with access to grant-writing expertise
Lethbridge, AB – Non-profit organizations in Lethbridge are getting a hand to enable them to better compete for grant funding, thanks to a new partnership between the City of Lethbridge and the United Way.
"Non-profit organizations with the internal resources to retain or employ a grant writer are at a distinct advantage in securing grant funding over organizations without that capability. This means grant funding can often be awarded to the best grant applications, but not necessarily the best program ideas," says Amanda Jensen, Support Services Coordinator in Community Social Development for the City of Lethbridge. "We've identified an opportunity to work toward leveling this playing field by offering grant-writing support."
The pilot program will provide the opportunity for approximately 30 registered non-profit organizations in Lethbridge to consult with an expert grant writer when preparing grant applications. It's being offered on a first-come-first-served basis. If demand warrants, the United Way will develop a waiting list.
"This program aims to help non-profits build their own capacity to produce well-crafted grant applications. They'll have the chance have an expert look at their work and make suggestions for improvement," says Janelle Marietta-Vasquez, Director of Fund Development and Operations for the United Way of Lethbridge and South Western Alberta. "Ultimately, if our local non-profits have stronger grant-writing skills, they'll be more successful at securing grants for worthwhile programs that benefit our community."
The United Way is delivering the program and providing in-kind support, while the City of Lethbridge is allocating up to $10,000 in available funding from provincial programs dedicated to child and family supports as well as homelessness. A grant-writing expert will be retained and will be available to interested non-profit organizations on an as-needed basis. Each participating non-profit group will be provided up to three hours of consultation (two hours to diagnose, edit and provide feedback on each grant application; and one hour for a final check).
Visit www.lethbridgeunitedway.ca/grantexpert for more information. Or contact United Way at 403-327-1700 or together@lethbridgeunitedway.ca to schedule an appointment with a grant expert.

Can we use Pokemon GO in our business?
Disruption of course meaning the effect that changes all. Not necessarily KILLING it – but for a significant duration will influence it. Heavily. In my case, the two posts will be appreciated. But the disruption that happened to me brought another factor that disruption often brings: Simplicity.
"If we were to use any of the game mechanics of Pokemon GO – what would we have to do?" And I'm not considering technical issues as well as licenses and software – but the company itself. Or rather: its culture.
An innovative mindset through the entire organisation, as this WILL indeed trigger behaviors!
Clear communication to our existing (and new!) customers – what are we DOING???
Cognitive – let your brain into PLAY and PASSION!
I am pretty convinced your organisation will never be the same again.
How do we meet 10k-hrs-skilled students at work?

Crawdads Beat
Coverage of the Hickory Crawdads baseball team
Results tagged ' Ryan Rolison '
Pitching and Defense the Difference in Tourists Win
Asheville has a lineup with plenty of firepower, but on Tuesday it was the Tourists pitching backed by key defensive plays that was the difference in a 2-0 win over Hickory at L.P. Frans Stadium.
The Tourists (6-7) have now earned a split over the first two of the three-game series after the teams have now traded 2-0 wins. Hickory (9-3) will host the finale Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m. before embarking on a three-game trip to Columbia, S.C.
The series was to have featured the top two South Atlantic League lineups. However, the teams have combined for four runs and 19 hits combined over the 18 innings played. In fact, the Crawdads have struggled at the plate during the current homestand. They entered Tuesday's game at a .203/.254/.451 line during the first four games played at Frans this year. Tourists left-hander Ryan Rolison added to that misery with a stellar performance.
Rolison, the Colorado Rockies' first-round pick in last June's first-year player draft, held the Crawdads without a baserunner through the first five innings. With only one three-ball count in the game, Rolison (2-1) constantly had the Crawdads guessing at which of the four pitches at his disposal that he would use. Pounding the strike zone, he struck out seven – five in a row at one stretch – with 46 strikes out of 62 pitches.
The Tourists gave Rolison all he needed with a run in the third against starter Yerry Rodriguez (1-1). The Crawdads hurler retired the first two batters, but Cade Harris extended the inning with a single to right. On successive pitches, Will Golsan singled and Rodriguez hit Hunter Stovall with a pitch to load the bases. The wild streak continued when Rodriguez walked Terrin Vavra to force in a run.
The Crawdads bats finally came to life in the sixth, when with one out Jonathan Ornelas grounded a single up the middle just past the dive of Vavra at short. Frainyer Chavez reached when he was able to line a bunt past Rolison on the first base side of the mound and outrace him to the bag. However, the Tourists escaped damage when a sharp line drive hit by J.P. Martinez was caught by first baseman Grant Lavigne, who then easily doubled up Chavez at first to end the inning.
Harris walked and later scored on a double-play ball to add an insurance run in the eighth.
However, the Crawdads appeared to be on the verge of at least cutting the deficit in half in the bottom of the inning. With two outs and nobody on, Miguel Aparicio doubled. A fielding blunder then kept the rally alive, as Ornelas hit a high chopper up the third-base line. The ball appeared to be curling foul, but pitcher Frederis Parra picked the ball up just inside the line to give Ornelas a single and put Aparicio at third. Chavez followed with a bouncer up the middle that tipped off the pitcher's glove. The second baseman Stovall made a lunging stop of the ball. While remaining stretched out, he fired a strike to first to retire Chavez and end the inning.
Alexander Martin closed out the game by striking out the side in the ninth for his second save of the season.

I have the honour to transmit herewith the statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Sultanate of Oman on 2 October 1985 concerning the Israeli attack on the headquarters of the Palestine Liberation Organization in Tunis.
I request that this statement be circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda items 33 and 38, and of the Security Council.
An official spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that the Sultanate of Oman strongly deplores the hostile attack carried out by Israel on the headquarters of the Palestine Liberation Organization in Tunis. The Sultanate considers the attack to be a case of flagrant aggression against the sisterly Republic of Tunisia and a gross violation of the sovereignty of a Member State of the United Nations. The attack does not contribute in any way to the maintenance of security and stability in the region. The Sultanate, which deplores this disgraceful crime, calls upon the international community stand firm against these acts of aggression.

Q: Doob Decomposition is $L^1$ bounded Suppose $X_n$ is a martingale that is $L^p$ bounded for some $p > 1$.  Then the problem asks to show that the Doob Decomposition of the submartingale $|X_n|^p = M_n + A_n$ where $M_n$ is a martingale and $A_n$ is predictable admits $M_n$ and $A_n$ that are both $L^1$ bounded. This is from a past final exam.  Thank you!

A: Hints: Without loss of generality, we may assume $X_0=0$ (otherwise consider $X_n-X_0$).

*

*Since $(X_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a martingale, $(|X_n|^p)_{n \geq 0}$ is a submartingale.

*By the Doob decomposition, $A_n \geq 0$ is increasing. $$\mathbb{E}(|A_n|) = \mathbb{E}(A_n) \leq \sup_{k \in \mathbb{N}} \mathbb{E}(|X_k|^p) + \mathbb{E}(|M_0|).$$ Conclude that $A_n$ is $L^1$-bounded.

*Deduce from Step 2 that $(M_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is $L^1$-bounded.


Barcelona are level on points with Atletico Madrid and one point ahead of Real Madrid with five games to go after their latest collapse against Valencia.
The 2-1 defeat to Valencia means its two home defeats on the spin, one point from a possible twelve and three losses in a row, something that hasn't happened to the Catalan side since 2003.
Barcelona's slump began on March 20 at El Madrigal, as they threw away a two goal lead to draw 2-2 with Villareal. A week later came El Clasico. After Gerard Pique's opening goal, hope of a return to winning ways was restored. However it was Real Madrid who conjured up a comeback win in the final half hour of the game. They then travelled to face Real Sociedad and again suffered defeat with an unconvincing display, succumbing to Mikel Oyarzabal's goal in a 1-0 loss.
Back on home soil the champions of Spain found no change of fortune against Valencia, a glut of missed chances saw them slip to a 1-2 defeat. It was a disastrous first half for Barcelona, as Ivan Rakitic turned the ball in to his own goal to give the advantage to the visitors.
The home crowd were stunned further on the stroke of half time as Santi Mina converted to extend Valencia's lead. Lionel Messi's 500th goal for club and country gave the home side hope but further missed chances saw the away side claim all three points.
As coach Luis Enrique watched them try to comeback he sent none of his substitutes to warm-up, a clear message to his board perhaps that they should have signed players in January.
This was a much better Barca performance than the midweek defeat at Atletico. On a normal day they might have scored four or five goals and one when Pique desperately dragged a last minute shot wide he and several of his Barcelona team-mates dropped to the ground in disbelief – they had missed so many second half chances to win the game.
That would prove to be the final opportunity as the Barcelona slump has now reached crisis mode.

So how do they work? They're quite a simple concept using evaporation. Porous reeds are placed into the bottle of fragrance, and then after a few hours the reeds will have become saturated with the concentrated scented oil. The natural air flow in your home or office spreads the scent throughout the room. The air will dry the reeds and so they'll keep absorbing the fragrance. They basically work 24/7 and are quite inconspicuous.
I think they're a great idea for the office. Obviously it might be a health and safety risk to have heaps of candles burning on your desk and not everyone likes air fresheners (I've yet to try one that doesn't choke me or make me sneeze) so reed diffusers are perfect as they're subtle but pleasant.
I know they're not a new thing but I see a lot of brands only bringing them out now, I just hope they get them right.
I must invest in one, recommendations are welcome.

Q: Simple number list loop can somebody please help me with this easy task i gave to myself?
I just want to write into a file numbers like: 001 002 003 etc. using loop.
I started with just 01 - 99 and decided to try it using list for now.
I came with something like this:
number = [0,0]

outfile = open("number.txt", "w")
outfile.write(str(number) + "\n")

while not number[0] == 9:

    while not number[1] == 9:

        number[1] = number[1] + 1
        outfile.write(str(number) + "\n")

number[0] = number[0] + 1
number[1] = 0
outfile.write(str(number) + "\n")

But it doesnt work. :|

A: You could do it using zfill.
For example:
str(1).zfill(3)

Will return: 001
You can then loop and increment a counter:
for i in range(100)

    outfile.write(str(i).zfill(3) + "\n")

A: You forgot to add 1 to the tens digit and reset the units digit at the end of the loop. Also, str() will not work the way you want here.
Try this:
number = [0,0]

def num_list_to_string(num_list):
  return str(num_list[0]) + str(num_list[1])

outfile = open("number.txt", "w")
outfile.write(num_list_to_string(number) + "\n")

while not number[0] == 10:
    while not number[1] == 9:
        number[1] = number[1] + 1
        outfile.write(num_list_to_string(number) + "\n")
    number[0] = number[0] + 1
    number[1] = 0
    outfile.write(num_list_to_string(number) + "\n")

A: Consider using the with keyword and working with the file input context manager for opening files.
You can also benefit from using python's range() function.
with open('yourfile.txt', w) as outfile:
   for x in range(1,100):
       outfile.write(str(x).zfill(3))
       outfile.write('\n')

Based on the formatting of the numbers you're dealing with, the zfill() string method also appears useful to you in order to zero pad.
The benefit of using range() rather than a list when dealing with large number sets is the memory allocation. Lists will store all values in memory, while a generator (what the range function is), will only return one value at a time. Therefore, only x is in memory at any given time and can be processed through the rest of your for loop.


ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Terry Rozier and Greg Monroe each scored 17 points, helping the Boston Celtics beat the Orlando Magic 92-83 on Friday night.
Boston stopped a two-game losing streak despite shooting just 37.8 percent from the field. Al Horford had 15 points for the Celtics, and Abdel Nader finished with 11.
Orlando lost for the sixth time in seven games. Reserve Shelvin Mack scored 13 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter. Jonathon Simmons and D.J. Augustin had 13 apiece.
Boston opened a 26-point lead early in the second half. Rozier hit a pair of 3-pointers and Monroe overpowered Nikola Vucevic for another driving layup to make it 62-36 with 5:25 left in the third quarter.
The Magic cut the deficit to 14 against Celtics reserves early in the fourth quarter and Boston coach Brad Stevens put his starters back in for the last nine minutes of the game. They managed just two field goals the rest of the way, but it was still enough to hold off Orlando.
The closest the Magic could get was 90-83 on a driving layup by Mack with 41 seconds to play.
Celtics: Boston's starting five was a combined 20 of 62 from the field. … Marcus Morris had 11 rebounds, but was just 4 of 15 from the field. … F Jaylen Brown missed his third straight game with a concussion. .. PG Kyrie Erving was sidelined by a sore left knee.
Magic: PF Aaron Gordon could not pass the final stage of the NBA's concussion protocol and missed his fifth straight game. Gordon says he wants to play and the team appealed the decision to the league. … PG D.J. Augustin was the only Magic player to score more than four points in the first half. … The Magic started the game 3 for 13 from the field, including 0 for 6 on 3-pointers. … Rookie Jonathan Isaac had two blocks in the first minute of the game and didn't get another the rest of the game.
Celtics: At New Orleans on Sunday night.
Magic: Host Toronto on Tuesday night.

Rape Culture Explained
Erica Laue March 29, 2013
Graphic from Ms. Magazine.
As someone who holds a degree in Women's Studies, I'm often asked questions by people who want to learn more about feminism/feminists. With the recent media circus over the rape convictions of two high school students in the United States, I've decided that handing out some definitions of rape culture – the inquiry I most frequently receive – is pertinent.
So what is rape culture? Rape culture is…
National media outlets lamenting the end of two teens' football careers instead of lamenting their decision to rape an incapacitated individual (i.e. the Steubenville case, in which a high school girl was brutally raped and some notable institutions expressed sympathy for her offenders)
Believing that a person's incapacitation due to alcohol or drugs means that they are equally to blame for their victimization
Forgetting that consent is the presence of YES, not the absence of NO, and failing to distinguish between a consensual hookup and an assault
Treating another person's body as a commodity
Codifying a definition of rape that only includes penis-vagina contact (way to go, FBI of the past 90 years)
Casually flinging the word "rape" around as an all-purpose expression for anything dis-pleasurable (i.e. "Man, that exam raped me.")
Claiming that sex workers can't be rape and/or women are the only people who can be raped
Believing, stating, implying, or suggesting that someone's choice of clothes is to blame for their victimization
Making rape jokes or portraying rape as funny (the movie Wedding Crashers) and not calling someone else out for doing the same
Perpetuating the myth that rape is committed by strangers in dark alleys (73% of offenders are someone the victim knows; 66% of rapes occur in the home.)
Supporting cultural structures that demean, devalue, or dehumanize a portion of the population
Believing that prison rape is acceptable or not considering it rape at all
Claiming that rape can't occur in intimate partnerships or marriage
Letting someone get away with the line, "But you're so beautiful; I just can't help myself" in any context
Rape culture is a big deal, and it's a global phenomenon. In some countries it's codified in law; in others, it's the pernicious remnants of more patriarchal times. Several religions perpetuate it. Loads of magazines, books, movies, and news outlets are so steeped in it you can't imagine them without it.
What are some ways to change it? "Slowly" is one of the obvious answers, along with "patiently" and "diligently." Beyond that, however, there are some concrete options for how to encourage a broader movement towards a culture of accountability and respect:
Recognize rape for what it is: a violent crime of power and control, not an uncontrollable expression of lust or love.
Know and affirm that anyone can be a victim of rape or sexual assault, regardless of sex, gender identity, body, profession, or age.
Hold an offender accountable for their choice to victimize another person.
Call people out on statements that depersonalize or demean or treat someone else like a commodity.
Acknowledge that rape jokes aren't funny but horrifying, and stop telling them. Stop your peers from telling them too.
Broaden the vocabulary for unpleasant things (i.e. "That exam was abhorrent/abominable/horrendous!").
Teach friends, students, clients, etc. to seek affirmative consent.
Intervene if you see someone trying to hook up with a person who is clearly incapable of giving consent.
Remind yourself and others that rape, like any other crime, is still a crime – a choice made by the offender – even if the victim was drunk or high.
Be nonjudgmental and supportive if a survivor confides in you, and advocate for them with police, lawmakers, and religious officials.
Respond when others – like media outlets, lately – perpetuate elements of rape culture. Hold them accountable.
I hope this is clarifying for those of you who were unfamiliar with the term "rape culture" and that it inspires everyone to keep advocating for change. No matter where you live or go, rape (and all forms of sexual violence) are unacceptable. Let's work to put a stop to it.
Love or Loathe: Space Tourism, the ultimate in luxury travel or a dangerous game for the rich?
Erica Laue
Erica first set foot on a plane when she was ten months old. 28 years, 18 countries, and four continents later, the travel bug's still strong in her veins, and she's become increasingly engaged with issues of power, gender, sex, equality, and access around the world.


So what have we here? A United Arab Emirates of Disneyland. A continuation into outer space of a trend toward phony culture and science (and politics). Fake Sorbonne. Fake New York University. Fake MIT. All the curricula 'adjusted' and watered down to account for 'local culture': you figure out what that means. Fake Louvre. Fake Vatican and Fake Kaaba (stay tuned)? Fake Army (imported veteran mercenaries). Fake population (7 million temporary foreigners out of a total population of 8 million). But not all of it is entertaining.
And now? The ultimate in scientific fakery: a fake Mission to Mars. No research and no technological advancement needed, all bought and paid for. It is like when you buy a Boeing airplane: you own the airplane, but you do not acquire the technology (well, you learn how to fly the jet and flush the toilet).
Now what is there they can get that NASA (and maybe others) have not got? Unless they plan to rename a mountain or a famous waterway on Mars after the UAE rulers.

Hudson's newest principals laud district's diversity
November 19, 2019 by JEANETTE WOLFBERG
HUDSON–Hudson High School is getting a new principal and a new associate principal. Robert LaCasse will become principal on November 23, after five years as associate principal under Principal Antonio Abitabile, who is leaving to become Superintendent of Lansingburgh Central School District. Replacing Mr. LaCasse as associate principal will be William Wood, who has taught in other school districts. Both Mr. LaCasse and Mr. Wood noted the significance of Hudson's cultural diversity, in recent telephone interviews.
Born and raised in the Hudson City School District, Mr. LaCasse has worked for the district 20 years as a teacher, sports coach, and administrator. He graduated from Hudson High School in 1994, got a BA in Education at SUNY Cortland, and an MA at the College of St. Rose.
In 1999, he returned to the district, teaching ELA (English Language Arts) and social studies to 6th graders. In 2000, he started coaching junior varsity baseball; in 2002 he started teaching global studies to 9th and 10th graders; and in 2003 he started coaching varsity football. He continued coaching baseball until 2012, when he became dean of students, and continued coaching football until 2014, when he became associate principal of the high school. He now lives in Rensselaer County; his wife works north of Albany.
"Education is a pretty dynamic profession," Mr. LaCasse said November 6. "We're always looking to improve ourselves." In addition, an overall goal is to "get our kids ready for careers."
One of his first concerns as principal will be to wrap up the district's 2020 goals and work with Superintendent Maria L. Suttmeier and the Board of Education to create new goals. "I definitely look forward to it," he said.
Comparing today's students to "when I was a kid is not valid," because of all the technological changes since then, Mr. LaCasse said, adding, "Technology is a blessing and a curse."
What is an eye-opener for him is "how much our students have on their plate outside of school; what the kids bring here. Our district is so unique, so different from the districts around us. We focus on our community, the diversity of our community, working to develop an understanding of each other." The multicultural festival, where people celebrate their backgrounds, is a good example.
Mr. LaCasse observed that he and Mr. Abitabile graduated from Hudson High School together in the same class, but Mr. Wood will be the first person for such a position from outside the Hudson City School District in a long time.
Mr. Wood, reached November 7, said that he is from Long Island, majored in English and minored in Italian at SUNY Albany, got an MA in Teaching at the College of St. Rose, and took a School Building Leadership Program at SUNY Albany. He taught English at Canajoharie High School, and went on to teach English and global studies at the Adirondack Academy, an alternate school for middle and high school students who have shown a need for a non-traditional educational setting, in Johnstown. In addition, Mr. Wood said, he has been a musician since he was eight, when he started playing the double bass. He has been performing live since he was 14, playing guitar and singing. Currently, Mr. Wood lives in Rensselaer County with his wife and daughters, ages 2 and 4.
What attracted Mr. Wood to Hudson was both its "diversity, the mix of cultures and traditions" and its vibrant music scene. "There's a lot of positive change happening in Hudson," he said. "I look forward to being part of the growth. I'm really thrilled to be part of this community. "
Mr. Wood's first official day with Hudson High will be December 9.

2.   [#mekao_table{}](#mekao_table)
3.   [#mekao_column{}](#mekao_column)

## #mekao_settings{}
This record contains general setting.
```erlang
-record(mekao_settings, {
    placeholder :: fun( ( mekao:column()
                        , Num :: non_neg_integer()
                        , Val :: term()
                        ) -> iodata()),

    limit :: undefined
           | fun( ( mekao:'query'(#mekao_select{})
                  , RowCount :: non_neg_integer()
                  , Offset :: non_neg_integer()
                  ) -> mekao:'query'(#mekao_select{})),

    returning :: undefined
               | fun(( insert | update | delete, mekao:table()) -> iodata()),

    is_null = fun mekao_utils:is_null/1 :: fun((Value :: term()) -> boolean())
}).
```

### placeholder
Produce WHERE clause placeholders.

Example:
```erlang
#mekao_settings{
    placeholder = fun (_, Pos, _) -> [$$ | integer_to_list(Pos)] end
}. %% <<"... WHERE field1 = $1, field2 = $2...">>
```
See [#mekao_column{}](#mekao_column)

### limit
If defined will be used in select functions to limit result.

Example:
```erlang
#mekao_settings{
    limit = fun
        (Q, RowCount, Offset) ->
            #mekao_query{
                body = #mekao_select{where = Where} = QBody,
                types = Types, values = Vals, next_ph_num = Num
            } = Q,
            Q#mekao_query{
                body = QBody#mekao_select{
                    where = {<<"">>, Where, [
                        <<" LIMIT ">>, mk_ph(Num),
                        <<" OFFSET ">>, mk_ph(Num + 1)
                    ]}
                },
                types = Types ++ [int, int],
                values = Vals ++ [RowCount, Offset],
                next_ph_num = Num + 2
            }
    end
}.
```

### returning
Produce RETURNING clause for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE queries.

Example:
```erlang
#mekao_settings{
    returning = fun (_, _) -> <<"RETURNING id">> end
}. %% <<"INSERT INTO... RETURNING id">>
```

### is_null
Check value and return true if it `IS NULL`, false otherwise. Is used to
compose WHERE clause and produce `WHERE column IS NULL` instead of
`WHERE column = NULL`.

Example:
```erlang
#mekao_settings{
    is_null =
        fun (undefined) -> true
            (null) -> true
            (_) -> false
        end
}.
```

## #mekao_table{}
This record describes SQL table.
```erlang
-record(mekao_table, {
    name            :: iodata(),
    columns = []    :: [ mekao:column()
                       % entity record's field on the same pos is out of
                       % interest
                       | '$skip' ],
    %% order by column position or by arbitrary expression
    order_by = []   :: [ non_neg_integer() % record's field pos
                       | iodata()          % arbitrary expression
                       | { non_neg_integer() | iodata()
                         , { asc | desc | default
                           , nulls_first | nulls_last | default}
                         }
                       ]
}).
```

### name
Table name

Example:
```erlang
#mekao_table{
    name = <<"books">>
}.
```

### columns
List of table columns. Order matters. Each column position must be the same
as a corresponding record's field.

Example:
```erlang
-record(book, {id, isbn, not_db_field}).

#mekao_table{
    columns = [
        #mekao_column{name = <<"id">>}, %% first position, same as #book.id
        #mekao_column{name = <<"isbn">>} %% second position, same as #book.isbn
        '$skip'
    ]
}.
```
The last column `#book.not_db_field` illustrating possibility of having some
record's fields, which are not represented by any particular SQL table's
column, but serves just for internal usage.

See [#mekao_column{}](#mekao_column)

### order_by
List of positions and/or arbitrary expressions to sort result of select queries.

Example:
```erlang
-record(book, {id, isbn}).

#mekao_table{
    order_by = [#book.isbn, <<"isbn">>]
}.
%% SELECT id, isbn FROM ... ORDER BY 2, isbn
%% although you could see that `isbn` have `2` position in SELECT statement,
%% #mekao_table.order_by expects number `3` (`#book.isbn = 3`).
```

## #mekao_column{}

Anthony Mackie trial begins in New York
On behalf of Lerner & Lerner, P.C. | Feb 24, 2015 | Drunk Driving |
As some New Yorkers may know, testimony in the criminal trial against actor Anthony Mackie has begun. The trial court heard testimony on Feb. 19 from law enforcement about the circumstances surrounding his November 2013 arrest.
Mackie, a New Orleans native, was charged with a misdemeanor, but the charges were reduced before trial. He faces tickets for an uninsured and unregistered vehicle and having excessively tinted windows. If he is convicted, the actor may have his license suspended, be fined and be required to take an alcohol abuse program.
A detective said he witnessed Mackie making a U-turn and lane changes without using a turn signal on W. 126th Street and Lenox Avenue. After stopping Mackie, the detective said he noticed a strong alcoholic odor and that the actor was not speaking clearly and was unsteady. Another officer described the situation differently in court, saying that there was a moderate alcoholic odor emanating from the actor moments after he was stopped, but he did not notice the other signs of intoxication as described by the detective. He did tell the criminal court that Mackie had reddened watery eyes and appeared impaired.
Testimony showed Mackie refused a Breathalyzer test. However, he performed a sobriety test at the police station without a problem. The test was videotaped and played in court. The actor's attorney said his client's eyes appeared red and tearing because he had a respiratory infection and used antihistamines. He also said his speech might have appeared slurred due to his accent.
An individual who is taken into custody on charges of drunk driving may benefit from speaking with an attorney. The attorney may review the charges and determine if the evidence and testimonies support them. If not, the attorney may ask that they be dropped or lowered.

New chicks hatched. These are meant to be Naked Neck chicks from our little breeding group of Naked Neck chickens, but they don't look much like it to me.
Our chickens free-range. We did put the Naked Necks in a different field, but the hens kept returning and fraternising with the main chicken flock. James assured me that our Pekin bantam cockerel Yong Zheng was too small to get friendly with the ladies. I have no idea why I believed him. I think it is obvious that he was very successful with his wooing of the Naked Neck hens.
That little one on the front left doesn't look like a Naked Neck does it?
Crossing the lovely (large) meat birds with a tiny bantam cockerel wasn't part of the plan. Hhe Naked Necks are now able to free-range in a field, but can't get out to visit Yong Zheng and we are hoping that he is too distracted with his other girls to come calling. I have put some of the recently collected eggs under broody Ixworths (as no.2 the Ixworth cockerel is definitely not doing his job and is thus destined for the pot on Sunday morning) so we will see in a couple of weeks if this has made a difference.
It is amazing how they grow inside the egg.
N.B. I am currently rethinking my chicken breeding plans – if all goes well we should have 4 little flocks of pure-breed chickens by the end of the year and thus will not have to buy in any more hybrid hens, but will be able to raise our own chicks from existing stock, every now and again buying in fertile eggs to ensure genetic diversity.
Oh dear!! 😄 I also have a tiny rooster and he manages to mate with the big hens just fine! I wonder what they will look like?
