The departure of Judith Currey from Georgia Tech is a wake up call for climate science
The sun, the source of all climate on Earth (NASA)
The field of climate science has become a religion with dogma and heretics
by Mark Whittington

The departure of Judith Currey from her safe, tenured position at Georgia Tech should provide a wake-up call for the field of climate science, a discipline that has been rocked by corruption and well-founded accusations of political bias. Currey, while an eminent climate scientist, does not subscribe to the revealed orthodoxy that global warming is human caused and will inexorably cause the death of humanity unless it is addressed with draconian policy measures. For her pains, she had been subjected to savage abuse in the media and scientific community.
So she has decided that her efforts would be best made outside the academia bubble.
Those who have been following the ebb and flow of the climate change debate are familiar with Climategate, the incident in which emails were revealed that suggested that a conspiracy was afoot to alter the data that indicated that there was less than meets the eye about global warming and efforts to silence dissenters. More recently, a controversial climate scientist named Michael Mann filed a defamation suit against journalists to silence criticism of his work which many feel is a threat to the First Amendment.
Currey, not willing to adhere to orthodoxy and wanting to go where the science directs her, has clearly had enough trying to fight the Leviathan from within.
Groupthink, the corruption of government grants, and ego have combined to make free scientific inquiry into the subject of climate change all but impossible.
Mark Steyn, one of the targets of Mann's lawsuit, suggested when he was guest hosting on the Rush Limbaugh show that more than a little bit of sexism and misogyny motivated some of the attacks on Currey.
Considering the traditional problems faced by women in the STEM fields, the accusation would seem to be plausible.
In any case, climate science has been broken and ways to fix it don't appear to be apparent. When the media collaborates with the global warming dogma by spreading the meme that those who dissent, no matter what their credentials, are "deniers," the equivalent of people who deny the Holocaust, then they cannot be counted on to provide the watchdog role that could shine a light on the problem. Perhaps the Trump Administration could start offering incentives by freeing up government grant money to scientists who want to delve into the natural causes of climate change.

Artemis and the Secrets of Shark Survival
February 25, 2019 /0 Comments/in Animals, Nature and Environment /by LifeInNaples
May 22 was the last evening of sampling for the month. In Fakahatchee Bay, Pat O'Donnell, a fish biologist at Rookery Bay Research Reserve, and his team of volunteers caught only one shark, but that small newborn bull shark was the one he was hoping to find.
As his study area is directly affected by hydrologic restoration in the Ten Thousand Islands watershed, O'Donnell has been working to determine if newborn sharks caught in bays with higher salinity levels will eventually seek out lower salinities associated with the altered freshwater flow coming from the Faka Union canal, where, each year, millions of gallons of fresh water are diverted across the land to the Gulf of Mexico.
This study began after a paper published by Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota described how the youngest, smallest bull sharks in a study were found farther up the Caloosahatchee River in the lowest salinities. They couldn't, however, state where these sharks came from, or where they were pupped or born. Through his studies, O'Donnell is attempting to prove that newborn bull sharks can find the lowest salinities, and will stay there to avoid being preyed upon by larger juvenile bull sharks that tend to stay in moderate to higher salinities.
That May evening, the newborn bull shark was swimming in circles in a five-foot-wide kiddie pool onboard the boat while O'Donnell's team prepared to perform acoustic tagging surgery. One of his most
enthusiastic volunteers that night asked if she could assist and O'Donnell agreed, letting Kennedy Vertin, an undergraduate at the University of South Florida in Tampa, hold the shark upside-down in the pool while O'Donnell made a small incision in the belly area.
He inserted the acoustic tag and put in three stitches to close the opening. Meanwhile, another volunteer held a bilge pump in front of the shark's mouth to keep water flowing into the mouth and over the gills. This technique worked well, and the shark continued to swim circles in the pool after surgery.
Just before the newborn was released into Fakahatchee Bay, O'Donnell asked Vertin if she'd like to name the newly tagged bull shark. She suggested Artemis, the name for the Greek goddess of the wilderness. He let Kennedy get a photo holding Artemis just before gently releasing her into Fakahatchee Bay.
After tagging and releasing her, there was no evidence of her movements until the following day.
Data from the acoustic receivers showed that on May 23 at 9:30 a.m., Artemis made an appearance in Faka Union Bay. She wandered all around the bay, pinging off many of the 16 receivers O'Donnell had placed within the Ten Thousand Islands study area. On May 24, at a low tide, the receiver data showed that Artemis found the Faka Union tidal creek leading up to the dredged canal that feeds the bay with freshwater.
She stayed within the canal/tidal creek for 44 days until July 7, when – during a low falling tide – she re-entered Faka Union Bay and stayed there until the salinity reached about 22 ppt (parts of salinity per thousand parts of water) on a rising tide, and then re-entered the tidal creek. For the next 18 days, Artemis swam around Faka Union Bay and was recorded on just about every receiver within the bay. From July 25 through July 30, she was found in the dredged canal again.
For less than one day on July 30, she swam around the bay before again returning to the canal for the next 21 days. This is as far as the story goes for now, as the complete dataset from late August onward has
yet to be downloaded. It's hoped that this is just the beginning of her story, as O'Donnell's tags are
supposed to be capable of transmitting data for more than nine years.
Vertin was provided the tag and receiver data for Artemis, as well as the salinity data from the area,
to help track the shark's general movements and correlate them with the salinities levels that were changing due to tidal and canal flows. She's using her newly acquired GIS skills to produce a pictorial view of where Artemis traveled and when. It's up to Artemis to swim by some more acoustic receivers when she can, providing more secrets of her survival.

Calling All Dogs: CCSO Safety Campaign Enlists Pups, Owners The People We Will Always Adore


Creamy Roasted Jalapeño Pasta is a wonderfully comforting meal with marinated chicken, the crispness of cilantro and a slight smoky spiciness of jalapeño.
While I was filming the video for this Creamy Roasted Jalapeño Pasta recipe and frying the chicken, my husband was on a conference call.
Paul is very dedicated to his career so when he told me that he was just about to say "the heck with this call, I am going downstairs" because the incredible smell of the chicken cooking was completely enticing him, I knew I had a great dish.
Just the chicken itself is enough to make anybody weak in the knees.
Add in the creamy sauce bursting with the freshness of cilantro and with hints of smoky jalapeño and you can expect that your family will come running to the table…Yes I mean RUNNING.
This is the kind of meal you make when you have had a long, hard week at work and you just want to be surrounded by glorious smells, beautiful food and a great tasting bowl of "this will make it all better".
I roasted my jalapeños over an open flame on my stovetop. I adore this method but you can also roast on a cookie sheet in an 425℉ oven for 12-16 minutes making sure to turn your jalapeños once.
Marinating the chicken is an optional step but one I really recommend. I marinated the chicken thighs for 1 full day and OH MY GOSH does it create wonderful tasting meat.
I used the jalapeño seeds in my marinade. By the time the chicken is cooked and added to the sauce the spice level was extremely mild. If your jalapeños are extra spicy or your worried about it being too much heat, just discard them all together.
You can use either plain Greek yogurt or really good sour cream for the sauce. I recommend full fat versions of both for the wonderful creaminess it provides because let's be honest, this is a comfort food meal. If you opt for the Greek yogurt approach the sauce will have just a touch more of a zing to it.
Adjust the heat of your sauce by adding in the seeds to make it spicer. I didn't use the seeds in the sauce for the delicate mouths in my house.
Using a long handle pair of tongs roast 2-3 jalapeños over a medium low flame until pepper is tender and skin is blistered (for oven roasting see above tips). Cut off tops and refrigerate 2 of the peppers until needed for sauce. Combine all ingredients for marinade in a food processor and blend well. Place chicken thighs in a large ziplock bag or glass container. Pour marinade over and mix well so that marinade covers all chicken. Marinade in refrigerator for 3-24 hours.
Combine all ingredients for pasta sauce in the same food processor and process until smooth. Place in refrigerator until needed.
Cook pasta according to directions on the package to al dente in salted water (2tbsp). Place frozen corn in colander and pour drain pasta over corn.
Meanwhile, while the water for the pasta is coming to a boil, Preheat oven to 350℉ & heat a frying pan over medium/high heat. Add oil and fry marinated chicken thighs for 7-8 minutes per side. Place in oven to finish the cooking process. Bake for 10 mins or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165℉. Remove from oven & cut into cubes.
Add prepared sauce to a large pan and heat over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes. Add chicken, pasta, corn and red bell peppers. Stir well.
*Please use as many organic ingredients as possible.* If you enjoy your sauce a little thiner add the juice of 1 additional lime or 1 to 2 tbsp pasta water to the sauce before adding pasta.
The recipe is part of Meal Plan Monday.
If you love comforting pasta dishes than check out these recipes.
This sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! I can't wait to try this!
We LOVE roasted jalapenos and pasta – sooooo this is definitely happening for dinner!
I hope you enjoy it! ????
WOW, these flavors sound absolutely amazing!
Thank you Lane & Holly! I love my flavors.
This is going to be a new favorite pasta at my house!
Yay!! I am still dreaming of it myself!

Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, iii. 114.
" The hero of this ballad appears to have been an outlaw and deer-stealer�probably one of the broken men residing upon the Border. There are several different copies, in one of which the principal per�sonage is called Johnie of Cockielaw. The stanzas of greatest merit have been selected from each copy. It is sometimes said, that this outlaw possessed the old Castle of Morton, in Dumfries-shire, now ruinous: " Near to this castle there was a park, built by Sir Thomas Randolph, on the face of a very great and high hill; so artificially, that, by the advantage of the hill, all wild beasts, such as deers, harts, and roes, and hares, did easily leap in, but could not get out again; and if any other cattle, such as cows, sheep, or goats, did voluntarily leap in, or were forced to do it, it is doubted if their owners were permitted to get them out again." Account of Presbytery of Penponl, apud Macfarlane's MSS. Such a park would form a convenient domain to an outlaw's castle, and the mention of Durisdeer, a neighboring parish, adds weight to this tradition."

Uber Car Lease
Reasons NYC Lawmaker Wants To Limit Uber Car Lease Costs
Over time, there has been growing agitations and disgust expressed by most Uber and Lyft car lease drivers over the exorbitant payments they have been subjected to make back to the rental and car lease companies. Several drivers have aired their experience of being saddled with crushing lease payments in order to work for ride-sharing apps like Uber and Lyft.
About a week ago, City Councilmember Francisco Moya introduced new legislation saddled to tackle rates for a range of scenarios: leasing, renting, leasing to own, and conditional purchase of for-hire cars. This bill was greeted with mix reactions from drivers, rentals, and TLC companies.
The New Legislation
The new legislation introduced by Councilmember Moya aims to protect drivers working for ride-sharing apps and those of for-hire vehicles, livery, and green cab companies from lease costs beyond what they can pay from their driving income. This bill is expected to establish maximum limits for lease payments by collaborating with the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission.
According to Moya, "For-hire drivers are been made to sign contracts, which gets them locked into impossible payments. The bill will make sure that they're not being cheated and duped into these impossible payments."
However, recall that during the summer, acting on the fears by drivers that the cap still allows new drivers to get TLC licenses, there will be a growing number of people sucked into expensive rental rates to start driving. The New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, proposal to extend the cap to another year was passed. This measure makes a permanent limit on vehicle licenses for companies like Uber and Lyft. This is aimed at stabilizing drivers' incomes and cutting congestion.
Reactions To The New Law
There are over 120,000 for-hire vehicles on the roads and streets of New York, accounting for nearly 30% of all traffic in Manhattan below 60th Street, according to city-data. Information provided by the Taxi & Limousine Commission shows that about 85,000 are for ride-sharing apps.
As the city pushes to permanently cap the number of for-hire vehicles on the streets, most of these drivers have congregated at the city Taxi & Limousine Commission hearing to tell their stories of how exorbitant car leases are crushing them. Most Uber and Lyft drivers who have no option licensing their cars under the cap on for-hire vehicles are calling on the city to stop leasing companies from charging them sky-high prices.
Before the legislation was introduced, a Brooklyn Uber driver with leased car for years has compared the annoying lease payments as a broad daylight robbery, with no legislation or rules to keep the TLC companies accountable.
The driver's advocates have linked the Uber and Lyft with the creation of an industry where many drivers languish in poverty, lured by exaggerations about high earning potential and company partnerships with rental companies. The executive director of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, Bhairavi Desai, opined that the whole scenario is "a predatory lending means where drivers not only suffer poverty week to week because so much of their income goes to paying off these fees but are locked into long-term debt."
However, an owner of a rental TLC company opined that the said proposal could put the rental industry "in jeopardy" and make it difficult for drivers with shaky finances to lease a vehicle.
The bottom line remains that the new legislation will enable drivers to save more money, and take a break as they need not worry much about hitting the monthly payments.

Comey Unmasked
By Clarice Feldman
If your head is swimming with the accounts of "Russian Collusion" with the Trump campaign, a cock and bull story confected by Hillary Clinton to explain her loss and to undermine the President, allow me to simplify it now that James Comey has testified and revealed with a load of bunk it is. First of all, don't forget that as the head of the FBI, James Comey had the power to request the appointment of a Special Counsel anytime he felt it was warranted. In fact, despite countless leaks to the press that there was evidence of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and Russia, he had informed the relevant Congressional leaders that the FBI had no such evidence after months of investigation, a concession which, unsurprisingly enough, was never, leaked. The four Democrat leaders of the Gang of 8, which oversees the operation and knew this themselves, kept promulgating the lie that there was some such evidence. After he was fired, in an...(Read Full Article)

A three-game road trip came to a close as the Washington Mystics lost 85-74 to the Dallas Wings on Saturday afternoon.
The first half was nothing to write home about. Dallas out-rebounded Washington 25-14 which helped them get a 46-30 lead at halftime. Arike Ogunbowale scored 16 of her 30 points in that period, while Tina Charles and Leilani Mitchell were the only Mystics players to put up a decent showing on offense from the starting lineup.
Washington made a comeback in the third quarter to get the lead down to single digits but still headed into the fourth quarter with a 66-55 deficit.
Charles finished the game with 27 points and 10 rebounds while Mitchell scored 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting, shaking off an early season shooting slump.
The Mystics will head back home to play the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. It's the first of three Commissioner's Cup matches before the Olympic Break begins.


What is considered by many to be Sondheim's greatest work Sweeney Todd had its premiere in 1979, starring Len Cariou as the demon barber of Fleet Street Todd and Angela Lansbury (at 65 years of age) as the meat pie maven Mrs. Lovett. For Lansbury this was her second comeback, winning her a second Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Sweeney Todd came at quite a cost, both financially and emotional. Thousands were lavished on the original production with the set designer and director Harold Prince purchasing an old factory, gutting the theatre and quite literally transforming it into the seedy world of industrial London in the 1840s. It also caused Sondheim his second major heart attack because of the stresses place on his back. Sweeney Todd, though highly controversial due to its cannibalistic theme, was a huge success and a turning point in musical theatre form, bridging opera and musical theatre into a cohesive whole.
Sweeney Todd was a fictional character penned for what the Victorians called Penny Dreadfuls; horror stories that were published cheaply for the middle and lower classes usually containing gruesome and macabre themes. Sweeney Todd is the ultimate revenge story where the horribly wronged Todd is sent off to an island prison for 16 years on trumped up charges because the "Honorable" Judge Turpin wants his wife. While away Turpin rapes his wife who takes poison and is thought dead and Turpin adopts their daughter Joanna. As she grows into a beautiful woman his desires do as well and he wants to marry her. Todd, newly released from prison is rescued at sea by Anthony Hope and they land in London. Sweeney Todd sets his plan into motion for revenge against Judge Turpin.
He goes back to the location of his old shop and home about Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pie Shop and out she comes, thrilled to have a customer. She recognizes him as she tells the story of his wife, Lucy and daughter Joanna's fate. She brings him his most prized possessions; razors made out of chased silver. They next set out to get some money for Todd at a sideshow featuring the "famous" barber and snake oil salesman Parelli, where Todd challenges him to a match; if he wins he gets 5 pounds and if Parelli wins he will give him his cherished razors. Parelli loses but remembers the distinctive razors and later tries to extort money from Todd, whose real name is Benjamin Barker. In a moment of anger Todd slits his throat and puts him in a trunk. Meanwhile Toby, Parelli's urchin boy is being entertained and fed downstairs by Mrs. Lovett.
Meanwhile Todd's friend, Anthony Hope, has seen Joanna, Todd's son, in a window and fallen instantly in love with her when he is accosted by a miserable beggar woman who warns him about Judge Turpin (she seems to know much about him).
Judge Turpin and Beadle Bamford return and catch Anthony conversing with her, threatening to kill him if he ever sets foot near her again. Beadle Bamford suggests to Turpin that he get a shave from this miraculous barber named Sweeney Todd and the judge sets off to his shop. Upset Anthony runs to Todd and tells him he has seen Joanna. Just as Todd is about to exact his revenge on the judge Anthony comes running in to tell him that he has met Joanna. Infuriated, the judge storms out swearing never to return and Sweeney Todd explodes in a rage, threatening to kill everyone.
Mrs. Lovett discovers that Todd has killed Pirelli and as they are trying to figure out how to get rid of the body, a bright idea pops into her head; she will make him into a meat pie. Thus the plot is hatched as Todd dispatches clients to the meat grinder of Mrs. Lovett and London goes mad over her delicious pies.
In the role of Sweeny Todd Paul Jordan Jansen brings the charisma, menace and booming baritone needed to deliver this extremely demanding and difficult role. He is the best Todd I have seen since George Hearn, who took over the role for Len Cariou. Jansen is mesmerizing and captures the pathos of Todd, especially in the final climactic moments when he discovers what horror he has done; revenge always comes with a price and his is a steep one.
As Mrs. Lovett Bri Sudia is brilliant, bringing the humor, bawdiness and sadness inherent in this character. She and Jansen have an undeniable spark and together the set the stage aflame (one of their best moments together is the Act 1 curtain classic "A Little Priest" as they remark on the savory and unsavory tastes of different people). This is a star-making turn for Bri and a Mrs. Lovett that I will never forget.
As the evil Judge Turpin Chicago veteran Larry Adams is sheer perfection. Slimy and elegant at the same time he embodies the corruption and lasciviousness of the Victorian justice system to a tee. This is among his finest work that encompasses a career of outstanding work.
As Lucy, the beggar woman, Emily Rahm is heartbreaking. Cecilia Jole and Patrick Rooney are well paired as Joanna and Anthony, beautifully managing Sondheim's tricky patter song "Ah, Miss" with voices that soar. Not only do they possess physical chemistry with one another but vocal as well.
Matt Deitchman is exactly what Adolfo Pirelli calls for; humorous, slimy and threatening. Craig W. Underwood is prefect casting for the Beadle and Anthony Norman's Tobias spot on.
The ensemble was extremely fine as the Greek chorus and established the creepy tone and seediness of 1840s London beautifully. They are given some of the most difficult music and harmonies in the show which they pulled off to perfection.
Jim Corti's direction and choreography were superb, capturing the flavor of the original Harold Prince production but bringing a freshness of his own to it. This is a masterful director presenting some of his finest work. His vision is strong and meticulously realized (his staging of "More Hot Pies" made my skin crawl with the crowd slowly circling the table like rats in sexual ecstasy will be forever etched in my psyche).
Music Director Tom Vendafreddo drew a tremendous sound from his 19 piece orchestra and tricked me into believing there were at least 40; very impressive work indeed.
The Scenic Design by Jeffrey D. Kmiec is nothing short of stupendous; huge in scope, providing the hellish world of the musical in all its seediness and filth. Nick Bailey's Lighting Design makes up the other half of Kmiec's design, working together like a well-oiled machine, and creating breathtaking tableaux's throughout.
Theresa Ham's costumes are first rate and tie in beautifully with Kmiec and Bailey's designs and Corti's pungent vision of Sweeney Todd.
Folks, Paramount Theatre in Aurora is the closest thing to New York's Broadway theatre scene we have and far less expensive. This Sweeney Todd will go down as one for the books and is among the finest production of this Sondheim masterpiece as I have had the good fortune to experience; it is not to be missed.
Sweeney Todd, directed by Artistic Director Jim Corti plays through March 19 at The Paramount Theatre in Aurora. Tickets available through their box office at https://paramountaurora.com/events/sweeney-todd/.


Also in today's round up, Hillary Clinton's email usage goes under further investigation and a major voting rights victory has just been won in California.
Eric Schneiderman, the newly appointed New York attorney general, is formally reviewing the unexplained death of Raynette Turner. Turner died alone and unsupervised in a jail cell while awaiting her arraignment. No one had checked Turner's cell for over an hour and she was found dead at approximately 2 pm on July 27. Turner was treated at a hospital while in police custody shortly before her death. Schneiderman was appointed by Governor Andrew Cuomo per requests from a coalition of Black mothers impacted by police violence; Schneiderman's role is specially mandated to investigate whenever the police are involved with or guilty of the death of an unarmed citizen.

We are receiving lots of questions about the heat this weekend. We are working on how we can best address and will be sending more information throughout the day.
Unfortunately, the current forecast is calling for highs of over 30 degrees on Saturday and Sunday, which raises serious concerns around heat related illnesses, especially for our longer events.
We are still hoping for a change in the weather and that temperatures will stay moderate enough for a safe event. We have also put the message out to the community to have hoses and sprinklers out along the race courses.
However, we also need to be prepared for the worst, which is the possibility of a cancellation if temperatures pose a serious safety risk. The safety of our runners is paramount. That will be a decision that we make along with our Medical Director.
We will be posting weather updates on social media, as well as using our system of weather flags which are on the race site and along the course. All participants should familiarize themselves with the EAS system prior to the race and remain alert for directions from race officials and take precautions to properly prepare for varying conditions on race day.
If you know it is going to be hot (or hotter than you are used to) then don't wait until you feel hot (too late): prevent it by using all these suggestions.
Why the big fuss over hydration?
Thank you in advance for taking precautions. We hope that the weather will cooperate. Our priority is for everyone to have a safe and enjoyable weekend of running.

Purpose With CallVBS you can call a VBScript function from a GuiXT Script or InputScript.
The VBScript function "test1" is called. The function result is stored in string format into variable V[msg].
The VBScript function "funcname" is called. The specified strings "par1", "par2",... are passed to the function. You can use the notation "&V[varname]" as parameter if you want to pass the value of a GuiXT variable.
Format 2 CallVBS varname = funcname "par1" "par2 "par2"
The VBScript function "funcname" is called. The specified strings "par1", "par2",... are passed to the function. The function result is stored in string format into the variable V[varname].
Security VBScript is able to perform critical operations such as destroying files or changing registry values, comparable to Visual Basic, Java or C++ . As a consequence, the same security rules that apply for programs written in these languages have to be applied to VBScript functions that you rollout to other users.
When the first CallVBS commmand is performed in a SAP GUI mode, all VBScript library files specified in GuiXT profile are loaded. The functions and global variables in these .vbs files need to have a unique name across all files, since a single namespace is used when loading the files. Please observe that any commands outside of function or class declarations will be executed when the files are loaded. Global VBScript variables retain their values within each SAP GUI mode.
Syntax errors in any one of the VBScript files should be avoided, since in this case the loading of the functions is terminated with a syntax error message. If you write your VBScript functions in a special VBScript editor such as VbsEdit (recommendable for complex functions), you can run the script there to have its syntax checked.
All parameters are passed to the VBScript function as string values, and the return value is stored as a string value in the specified script variable. There is only one exception to this rule: object references are handled differently; see next section.
It is possible to read and write GuiXT variables within the VBScript function; for details on how to proceed see Object "guixt" in VBScript. This allows you to implement a kind of parameter passing by reference: simply pass the name of the GuiXT script variable instead of its value, and use guixt.get() and guixt.set() to access the variable using its name.
Object references VBScript is an object based programming language that allows you to deal with dynamically created objects: ActiveX components that you create with CreateObject() or that have been created in the GuiXT script with the Control command, or objects of self-defined VBScript classes (Class ... End Class) that you create in VBScript with the New command .
GuiXT supports parameter passing of object references in both directions. It uses a string representation of the object reference when it is stored into a GuiXT script variable, and converts automatically to or from the object reference (technically: an IDispatch interface). For example, you can define a VBScript class, create an object of this class in VBScript, pass the object reference to GuiXT and store it into a GuiXT script variable, then call a second VBScript function, pass GuiXT variable that contains the object reference and access attributes and methods of the object.
VBScript, being an untyped programming language, has its limitations when programs are above a certain level of complexity. In this case you can implement an ActiveX component in a better suited typed language such as Visual Basic .NET or C# and make use of this component in your VBScript code.
Debugging You can invoke the debugger with a "Stop" command in a VBScript function. If no special script debugger is installed on your PC, for example the Microsoft Script Debugger (free of charge) or MS Visual Studio, the script debugger that comes with Internet Explorer will be called.
the "Stop" command will simply stop processing the script, without a message and without a debugger coming up.


A self-build project is all about realising your property dream. Getting to grips with the blueprints, sourcing the various contractors you will need, and keeping in mind all of the necessary materials required are all essential steps.
Organising the finance to fund the various aspects of your self-build project is also vital to its success. This is where we can help. We can put property build finance in place to keep your project running smoothly from the initial stages right up to completion.
We are a member of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, we are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, and we can provide you with the desired level of funding for your self-build dream.
When Can You Use Self-Build Finance?
Encountering financial difficulties right at the start of your self-build project can be stressful, especially if you are worried that it will jeopardise the entire project. We can help you get your project started and keep it on the right track throughout all of the various stages. Remember to apply for your finance early so that you know you have it in place for the date that the contractors will be starting on site.
We have enabled many success stories, where we funded property builds and development projects.
One customer had a large garden which he planned to build a second house on. We helped him split the title to the property, paid his mortgage company to release the garden, and then we staged the funding needed to build his second and dream home.
Once built, the customer sold his first house, which gave him the funds needed to pay off our loan and his mortgage company, and then he moved into the new house mortgage-free.

Meet Vasily Klyukin – a Russian billionaire businessman and hobbyist architect who is based in Monaco. Mr. Vasily has recently unveiled the plan to create a hospital and spa that will resemble a ship. In words of Mr. Vasily, the White Sails Hospital and Spa will become the 'world's first hospital that no one is afraid to visit'.
The hospital will be comprised of 4 towers that will look like sails and shall be situated on a base that resembles a ship. This whole ship-attire won't be only on the exterior but even the medical staff will be dressing up as sailors and if everything goes as per the plan, the hospital shall be situated at the Tunisia's Economic City Development – a project that is aimed at redeveloping Enfidha located in country's northeast.
Klyukin says that the project is going ahead and there is at least one investor in the mix. There has been no info yet about the interior or any time frame for this project. So we are still doubtful as to when and how this project is going to be constructed.

Le  bief de Pont-aux-Moines  est une voie d'eau française constituant une section du canal d'Orléans, faisant partie du versant Loire du canal.

D'une longueur de , il est situé sur le territoire des communes françaises de Mardié et Donnery dans la région naturelle du val de Loire, le département du Loiret et la région Centre-Val de Loire.

Il est bordé en amont par l'écluse de Donnery et, en aval, par l'écluse Pont-aux-Moines.

Historique
Après le creusement par Robert Mahieu d'un premier tronçon entre Vieilles-Maisons-sur-Joudry et Buges entre 1676 et 1678 et son ouverture au transport du bois et du charbon, la construction du canal jusqu'à la Loire est entreprise de 1681 à 1687 et est inaugurée en 1692. La construction du bief de Pont-aux-Moines et de l'écluse de Pont-aux-Moines est réalisée dans cette deuxième phase.

Le port de Pont-aux-Moines est créé en 1774 et celui de la Potterie près de Donnery en 1776. Ce dernier embarquera en particulier des vins de la région d'Orléans, des matériaux de construction et du bois de la forêt d'Orléans. En 1811, il a  expédié vers Paris, l'équivalent de plus de 40 grands bateaux chargés chacun de 200 poinçons.

De 1692 à 1793 le canal est en plein essor. De  à   remontent la Loire par an depuis Nantes pour gagner Paris. En 1793, le canal devient un bien national. De 1807 à 1860, il est géré par une société privée, la Compagnie des canaux d'Orléans et du Loing, puis en 1863 sa gestion est confiée aux Ponts et Chaussées pour une période de 91 ans.

De 1908 à 1921, alors que le trafic de marchandises par voie fluviale est en pleine régression, des travaux prolongation du canal entre Combleux et Orléans sont entrepris. Avec l'extinction complète du trafic, le canal est déclassé en 1954 des voies navigables et entre dans le domaine privé de l'État.

En 1978 est créé le syndicat mixte de gestion du canal d'Orléans, qui a pour objet la gestion, la promotion et l'animation de l'ensemble du domaine du canal. En 1984, le département du Loiret prend la gestion du domaine pour 50 ans, laissant au syndicat la gestion courante du domaine, qui reste toujours propriété de l'État français.

Bief de Pont-aux-Moines

Descriptif
Le bief de Pont-aux-Moines s'étend sur une longueur de  entre l'écluse de Donnery en amont et l'écluse de Pont-aux-Moines en aval. C'est le troisième plus long bief du canal d'Orléans après le bief de partage dont la longueur est de  et le bief de Combleux, long de .

Le bief dispose de deux aires de retournement permettant d'envisager un retournement aisé pour la plupart des bateaux de plaisance. Elles se distinguent par un élargissement conséquent du canal, au minimum de , sur une longueur maximale de . Elles sont situées en amont de l'écluse de Pont-aux-Moines pour l'une et au lieu-dit « la Perrière » pour l'autre.

Ouvrages hydrauliques

Travaux de réhabilitation du canal

Curage
Les exigences liées à la remise en navigation du canal imposent le gabarit suivant sur le canal : une hauteur d'eau minimale de , correspondant à un tirant d'eau de  et  de pied de pilote et une largeur de canal en plafond de  à minima. Ceci conduira à réaliser des travaux de curage des fonds des biefs pour libérer le tirant d'eau nécessaire aux bateaux. Sur le bief de Pont-aux-Moines, un volume total de l'ordre de  de vases est à curer, soit un volume moyen inférieur à .

Protections de berges
Dans le cadre du projet de restauration du canal, des travaux de curage des fonds du bief et de protection des berges sont nécessaires.

Écluse de Pont-aux-Moines

L'écluse de Pont-aux-Moines présente une longueur de sas de , pour une largeur de . Les cotes de Nivellement général de la France (NGF) des différents éléments caractéristiques de l'écluse sont les suivantes : bief amont : 100.55, bief aval : 97.20, niveau du bajoyer : 101.35. La hauteur de chute est donc de .

L'écluse de Pont-Aux-Moines est fonctionnelle.

Did Reintroducing Wolves to Yellowstone Bring Back the Aspens?
Home / Uncategorized / Did Reintroducing Wolves to Yellowstone Bring Back the Aspens?
The majestic wilderness of Yellowstone National Park is showing changes that some say may indicate the ecosystem is in danger. But surprisingly, scientists think the reintroduction of wolves to the park may be turning things around.
By Linda Orlando
Biologists and hydrologists studying the landscape in Yellowstone National Park over the last decade have discovered some interesting changes that have affected the way researchers think about the fragility and recoverability of our ecosystem. In 1996, hydrologist Bob Beschta was studying the Lamar River, one of the park's largest and most beautiful rivers. He was shocked to discover that the stream had grown too wide, the banks were eroding, and soil was sloughing off to be flushed down river. The plants and flora that had previously lined the riverbanks and safeguarded the soil had completely vanished. There was seemingly no explanation for these drastic changes.
Around the same time, a team of biologists were probing into another unexplained mystery at Yellowstone―the steady disappearance of aspen trees in the park. They wondered initially if changes in the global climate were affecting the trees, but decided that if that were the case, aspens in the entire area would be declining. Yet, aspens in areas surrounding the park were flourishing, while the numbers of aspens inside Yellowstone were dwindling. Researchers then wondered if the reduction in the number of forest fires in the park was hurting the aspens, since they are a species of tree that thrives after a burn. But a huge fire in 1988 had ultimately produced very few large trees, so biologists concluded that lack of enough fires couldn't be the reason for the vanishing aspens. So they decided they had to look within the trees themselves, by drilling cores to count growth rings. When they did this, they were startled to discover that most of the aspen trees in Yellowstone were at least 70 years old―almost none were younger. Surprisingly, the Yellowstone aspen trees had evidently stopped regenerating sometime in the 1930s.
After some investigation, the biologists realized one significant change that had occurred in Yellowstone around that time. By the 1930s, all the resident wolves in Yellowstone had been killed. In fact, between 1883 and 1917, more than 100,000 wolves were killed for bounty in Montana and Wyoming alone. The gray wolf was later listed as an endangered species in the 1970s, which ultimately resulted in a highly publicized and widely controversial program being developed and planned to bring the wolf off the endangered species list. In 1995, biologist Doug Smith and his colleagues imported 31 gray wolves from Canada, and began introducing them to Yellowstone. Of course, the landowners surrounding the park―farmers and ranchers―were infuriated by the sudden attacks on their animals since they had not had to deal with large predators before the wolves came back. But the effect of the wolves on the ecosystem in the park would ultimately become far more important to the area than to the removal of the wolf from the endangered species list. Researchers have determined that because of the elimination of most of the large predators, namely, the wolves, in Yellowstone, the elk were free to graze brazenly and unencumbered on aspens and willows.
Although other factors may have contributed to changes in the park, it seems the disappearance of the aspen trees and the vanishing of streamside vegetation―which provided beaver and songbird habitats―can be linked to the absence of the wolves. Evidently, the ecosystem in Yellowstone needs to have a resident large predator in order to keep the elk from obliterating the aspen, and thereby severely affecting the vital plant and animal diversity of the park. And the impact of wolves on the ecosystem actually begins with the effects of their kills, because a wolf kill isn't just a meal. After the wolves have had their fill, the carcass becomes a dinner invitation to a host of other animals including ravens, magpies, coyotes, bald eagles, and grizzly bears that feed on the remains. The feeding continues further, down to small mammals and even insects. So in essence, one wolf kill serves hundreds of park inhabitants.
Wolves were once a vital part of the landscape of North America, and evidently they were also an integral contributor to ecosystems before bounty hunters decimated their numbers. But with the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone, researchers have discovered that wolves may literally be reshaping the landscape. By keeping elk on the run, the aspens and willows are allowed to grow unchecked. Trees and shrubs are starting to grow back along the streams and rivers, and beavers and songbirds have new homes and habitats in which to flourish. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone may have been controversial, but the long-term effects have paid off. The majestic wilderness and vitality of Yellowstone National Park is making a comeback of its own.

LG Chem CEO hosts first recruitment event in Europe
By Jung Min-kyung
Published : Jun 2, 2019 - 15:22
Updated : Jun 2, 2019 - 17:55
South Korean battery maker LG Chem said Sunday that its vice chairman hosted the firm's first-ever recruitment event in Europe in an effort to search for global talent.
On Friday, Vice Chairman and CEO Shin Hak-cheol hosted the event in Frankfurt, Germany, attended by 30 undergraduate and graduate students from 10 major universities and institutes across Europe. The firm's Chief Human Resources Officer No In-ho also joined the event.

The event not only marked the firm's foray into the European recruiting market, but also Shin's first time participating in global recruitment, following his nomination as the new CEO of the battery maker in November last year.
The firm decided to add Europe to its global recruitment tour this year as it hopes to bolster competitiveness in the electric vehicle battery and advanced material businesses, according to LG Chem.
LG Chem has two manufacturing plants in Poland, where it produces electric vehicle batteries, and engineering plastics and sales subsidiaries in Germany and Turkey. Its European business logs sales of about 1.3 trillion won ($1.1 billion), the firm said.
The firm anticipates European sales to grow after 2020, when production begins for third-generation electric vehicles, which can run more than 500 kilometers on a single charge.
Shin also plans to host recruitment events in the US and Japan later this year.

Young Jim Hawkins and his widowed mother run an old inn in Western England centuries ago. One foggy, dreary morning, an eye-patch-wearing pirate on the run lands up in the inn, befriending Jim and pressing into the lad's hand a tattered, old, wrinkled and torn piece of paper. Suddenly, unexpectedly, a band of cut-throat pirates show up at the inn!-feverishly searching for what Jim's been surreptitiously given!
With the help of his town's squire, Jim realizes he's been given a secret map to a huge buried treasure of gold and silver and pieces of eight! A veritable fortune buried in some unknown location on some unknown island. A treasure the squire and Jim are now determined to find! Onboard the "Hispaniola," Jim learns that the crew they hired are not sailors but cut-throat pirates captained by peg-legged Long John Silver (a cut-throat pirate who's been masquerading as the Hispaniola's" cook!). But Long John Silver and his treasure-stealing pirates are in for an immense surprise! The treasure they think they've found has been hijacked! Stolen by a grizzled, half-crazed, hilarious hermit!


Some of the home remedies for Raynaud's Disease include relaxation techniques, biofeedback training, increased amounts of vitamin B3, bananas and other potassium-heavy foods, ginkgo biloba, ginger, magnesium supplements, nuts, seafood, leafy vegetables, eggs, and citrus fruits, as well as behavioral changes such as avoiding caffeine, reducing stress, and quitting smoking.
Raynaud's Disease is an unusual condition that is actually a symptom of something else, perhaps more serious. Basically, it is a hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system, resulting in an extreme constriction of the blood vessels, therefore slowing down circulation and resulting in localized hypoxia (a lack of air/blood to cells). When these secondary blood vessels are unable to push blood through, the skin loses its color and sensation. This is called Raynaud's Phenomenon, but it is often called Raynaud's Disease when this becomes a chronic problem. Sometimes, chronic Raynaud'd Disease is an indication of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Some of the most common symptoms of Raynaud's Disease is numbness or discoloration in the extremities of your vascular system (fingers and toes), emotional stress, and long, brittle nails. When the skin is exposed to cold, and the temperature of the body srops, the skin turns pale or white, evidence of a loss of blood to the area. This is usually in the hands, fingers, toes, feet, and earlobes. However, when the oxygen supply is depleted, the skin turns blue, so this condition manifests in two different ways. In both instances, when blood or oxygen is returned, the color flushes back to red, often accompanied by swelling and more pain as the tissues and cells regain their functionality. This can be compared to a foot "falling asleep" or getting "pins and needles". The numbness is quickly replaced by painful tingling for a few moments. This effect lasts even longer with Raynaud's Disease.
Primary Raynaud's Disease is when the condition is idiopathic, meaning that it is not caused in conjunction with any other disease. Obviously, there are a number of conditions that can result in low blood or oxygen flow to the body's extremities, but Raynaud's disease that stands alone is often hereditary. Also, smoking can cause the disease to develop, or can exacerbate any symptoms, since it is a natural vasoconstrictor. You can go to your doctor and ask for the normal medicinal treatments, but there are a number of home remedies that can take care of the condition's symptoms for you. These home remedies are much milder on your system and do not have nearly as many side effects as what a doctor might prescribe. Some of the most popular and effective home remedies are explained below!
Ginkgo Biloba: Ginkgo biloba has been one of the most trusted natural remedies for a massive range of health conditions. Ginkgo biloba has long been known as a vasodilator and a stimulant for the circulatory system. It is a slow remedy to become effective, simply because it takes a few months for all of the ginkgo biloba to build up in your system. However, it has been proven to reduce Raynaud's Disease symptoms by approximately 50%, and has been used for other circulatory issues for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. In the war of staying warm and keeping your blood flowing, ginkgo biloba might be best!
Relaxation Techniques: Much of the research about Raynaud's points to mental health as a major trigger for the disease. It is also one of the major symptoms – additional emotional stress. For this reason, most alternative treatments should be coupled with relaxation techniques of some kind, which have been shown to relax tension in the body, thereby increasing circulation and positive endorphins. Yoga, pilates, and meditation are all known to help reduce the occurrence of Raynaud's episodes.
Biofeedback Training: Biofeedback training is like meditation 2.0, and combines relaxation techniques with instructional lessons on how to control the body's processes consciously. It does include some technological devices, and it isn't a total "home" remedy, but it is an alternative solution for many people who are looking for relief without turning to the pharmaceutical industry.
Vitamin B-3 Supplementation: Although all vitamins are important for the body, vitamin B3 plays a key role in increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin and regulating the dilation of blood vessels throughout the body. Also known as niacin, vitamin B-3 can be increased by taking specific supplements, or by increasing the consumption of foods, such as seafood, pork, chicken, liver, portobello mushrooms, green peas, and sunflower seeds, all of which are high in niacin.
Potassium Power: Potassium is an essential mineral that controls both the fluid balance in the body (along with sodium) and the dilation of the blood vessels and arteries. Since Raynaud's decreases the flow of blood and oxygen to the extremities, food like bananas and other potassium-packed foods are very important to prevent episodes from striking. Potassium reduces tension throughout the cardiovascular system, so Raynaud's flare ups have a far less noticeable effect.
Ginger: Ginger and ginger tea have long been suggested for people struggling with circulation issues. It is also considered a "warm" food, that provides the body with additional warmth in cold conditions. Therefore, ginger and ginger tea tackle both issues of Raynaud's disease, both issues from cold and from blood constriction. Preparing ginger tea has dozens of other health effects as well!
Vitamin E: Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, is well-known as a boosting skin agent, but it can also protect the integrity of other cells, especially blood vessels. For that reason, vitamin E is very important in the natural treatment of Raynaud's, to make sure that the blood vessels are maintained so blood and oxygen can get through easily and efficiently. By eating things like avocados, nuts, seafood, and green leafy vegetables, you can guarantee your vitamin E levels are appropriately high, and your blood vessels are healthy and functional!
Citrus Fruits (Vitamin C): In terms of boosting the immune system, nothing is better than vitamin C. It is an antioxidant and an immune system stimulant, as well as being important in hundreds of bodily functions, including the creation of new skin cells, the protection of vessels from damage, and the creation of collagen. Eating citrus fruits and other vitamin C-heavy foods is a wonderful way to reduce the effects of Raynaud's Disease.
A Few Words of Caution: Although Primary Raynaud's is a disease that stands alone, the majority of Raynaud's cases are secondary, meaning they are a symptom of another condition or problem, some of which could be quite serious. Be sure to check with a doctor so he can tell you which type you are likely suffering from, and to make sure you are not facing any of the truly nast diseases that can also manifest in Raynaud's phenomenon.

(Redirected from Superhero)
Upchuck as a superhero, an alter-ego shot from the Daria's Inferno PC game
The only canonical superheroes: "Coolman and Dr Weird" from Beavis and Butthead issue 8
Superheroes were used as occasional fodder for Alter Ego images in the Daria show. In-universe, Kevin Thompson is a fan of the fictional superhero Ratboy, Daria once saw Beavis and Butt-head running around thinking they were superheroes (and getting a beating). Marvel superhero The Thing was seen at Burger World once with his chronicler, Stan Lee.
The Thing (right), a superhero, enjoys his downtime
In Daria fanfic, superhero fics are a subset of alternate-universe storytelling, in which one or more characters of the show have fantastic powers beyond the norm and use their abilities to fight evil (or commit it). This form of story has become increasing popular in recent times. Crossovers with either the DC Universe or the Marvel Universe are frequent.
Examples are many and varied, ranging from farcical comedies to world-destroying melodramas. Among other stories offering Daria characters with startling powers and abilities are these.
Doggieboy and many other contributors: Tales of the Ringbearers
The Angst Guy: "The Amazing Adventures of D-Day and the Mighty Jane," "Deus Jane" (Jane), "A Hard Days' Night" (many characters), "Illusions" (the Angel character; story written with CharlieGirl and Angelinhel), "Jane Unchained" (Jane), "A Knight to Remember" (the Batmobile), "Like Angels' Visits, Short and Bright" (Amy Barksdale), "Making the Breast of It" (Brittany), "The Morgendorffer Code" (Quinn), "No One Lives Forever" (Brittany), "Nuthouse" (Jake), "Outcasts from Beyond," "The Original Underground Government-Suppressed Version of Brother Grimace's Classic Daria Fanfic, 'The Sun Will Come Out, Tomorrow'," "Scarlett" (many characters), "The Thirteenth Man" (Mack), "Three Ways of Looking at a Tiffany Blum-Deckler" (Tiffany), "Uranium in the Drinking Water" (Daria).
Brother Grimace: Although not technically considered as superheroes, several characters with powers appear in "Lunch Hour In Lawndale," "It's All About Respect," "Tapped Potentials," and "Behind Enemy Lines." Daria also appears as the 'Dark Defender' (a Supergirl-styled heroine) in 'Back in Fifteen Minutes'.
Ranger Thorne: Daria's Web series (Daria/Spider-Man)
Roentgen and Brother Grimace: "Legion of Lawndale Heroes," an ongoing series based on DC's Legion of Super Heroes.
NightGoblyn: "Lawndale's Finest: The Last Daughter of Krypton," a fusion with DC universe where Jane takes Superman's place and Daria takes Batman's.
Richard Lobinske made Daria the daughter of Marvel's Doctor Doom in his Daria Von Doom Series. While she technically is not superpowered, numerous powered characters from the Marvel Universe appear in the stories, including Doctor Doom, The Fantastic Four, Franklin Richards, Valeria Richards, Spider-Man, Kang the Conquerer, and Mephisto.
