LSU hires Woodward as athletic director
Scott Woodward
By Jacques Doucet | April 17, 2019 at 1:45 PM CDT - Updated April 23 at 5:41 AM
BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - LSU has hired LSU graduate and Baton Rouge native, Scott Woodward, as the next LSU athletic director, the university said Thursday.
"We are happy to welcome a fellow Tiger back home," said LSU President F. King Alexander. "Scott brings a strong track record of winning championships, graduating student-athletes and building an infrastructure for future achievement. His leadership will take us into a new era for Tiger Athletics."
"Returning home to the LSU family to lead the department of athletics is incredibly humbling and exciting," Woodward said. "The state university has been a part of my life for more than five decades, and I know – and I embrace – the high expectations of Tiger Nation. We will win championships and we will do it the right way, representing LSU with pride and dignity every step of the way. I want to thank President Alexander for the opportunity of a lifetime and I cannot wait to get started. Geaux Tigers!"
Woodward was named to the athletics director's position vacated by Joe Alleva, who stepped down from the job Wednesday, April 17 and will transition into a fundraising job with the university.

Woodward, who previously served as LSU's Director of External Affairs from 2000-2004, served as the Vice President of External Affairs at the University of Washington, prior to being named Director of Athletics in 2008.
A graduate of Catholic High School, Wooward served as the LSU chancellor's representative to the athletic department from 2000-'04. The Dallas Morning News says Woodward's "popularity has skyrocketed over the past 18 months."
"In December 2017, he landed Jimbo Fisher as the Aggie's football coach, a coup few expected even after news of the potential hire leaked out," the report said.
After serving as a political consultant and legislative liaison in Baton Rouge, Woodward founded a government and public relations firm in the mid-'90s, providing strategic policy direction to Fortune 500 corporations, including clients in the education, insurance and oil industries, according to his A&M online biography. He also worked on behalf of the Louisiana Nature Conservancy and the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, as well as served on the Board of Directors of the Baton Rouge Food Bank.

I left Raleigh almost 48 hours ago and my brain is just now starting to calm down enough that I can concentrate on other things. Four-year-old needs bath. I think I remember how to do this. It's a relief to be able to sleep again without my internal CPU in overdrive, I want to make sure I don't lose any of the tabs my brain opened while I was there. So here it is, my NCTIES to do list.
plan a "speed dating" PD session on some of the web tools my colleague learned about from Richard Byrne (if you're not already following him on Twitter, you should).
I would like to thank my school PTO and my administrators, Jessica Holbrook and Beth Brammer, for the support and encouragement they've given me to be able to participate in opportunities like this. The PTO provided funds for more travel costs. My administrators provided the funds to pay for the subs who cover my classes while I am away. I feel very lucky that they all believe in me and want to foster my professional development. I recognize that many people would love to have the same opportunities I'm getting but they lack the support. Thank you!

XPW TV Recap – September 29th, 2001
Posted By: Jonathan Siderman 09/30/2001
» XPW TV goes over what happened last week, including the signing of an Exploding Ring Match between "Vicious" Vic Grimes and Supreme for the XPW Deathmatch Title. Also, Kaos was informed that he was going to defend the XPW TV Title against New Jack at Halloween in Hell II!
» Veronica Caine walks into the XPW Offices, where a secretary just ignores her and continues to talk on the phone. She finally gets off, and tells her Rob Black is busy. He usually doesn't take people who just walk in, they come in by appointment. She can't have people just walk around the office back there. » Larry Rivera and Kris Kloss discuss Supreme's health and him being basically screwed by the Black Army. Supreme still hasn't gotten anything he's wanted, and has to fight Vic Grimes AGAIN for the Deathmatch Title. He wants Kaos, he needs Kaos, he HAS to destroy Kaos for betraying him! For tickets for "Halloween in Hell 2" [featuring such wrestlers as Damien Steele, New Jack, Kaos, Supreme, Vampiro, + more], visit XPW's official site XPWrestling.com.
» We see Veronica Caine outside the XPW Offices, calling Kevin Kleinrock, pretending to be Major Gunns. The receptionist leaves her seat to go tell Kevin, while Ms. Caine enters into the back.
» We see Mr. Robert Black watching football, while Angel stands in front of the TV blocking his view. He doesn't know why Angel can't grasp the concept of football. Right as they're talking, Veronica Caine walks in and interrupts his football game! WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! Caine insists that Kaos will not fight New Jack on October 13th, but Black wants nothing of it. It's only fair that New Jack gets his shot at the Television Title after winning the battle royal. Veronica Caine insinuates that The Enterprise and the Black Army should get together. She's talking about Caine's body and Black's body getting together. Mr. Black just wants to watch his football game, she calls him dumb for doing that and leaves.
» Kevin walks in, and says that he got a call from Major Gunns but no one was there. Rob Black says that he was tricked by Veronica Caine, and she doesn't Kaos fighting New Jack. Angel says Caine was hitting on Black, she could do "things" for him. He doesn't believe Angel, but Kevin does! They get into the topic of Lizzy Borden, his wife. Black changes the subject and says no one was hitting on him. Angel calls him handsome, AHHHHHHHHHHH! They agree not to tell Lizzy about Veronica Caine, no need for cat-fighting.
» Rivera and Kloss discuss the previous happenings from this episode of XPW TV, including Veronica Caine wanting to handle everything herself. Rivera says Caine can handle any of his THINGS any time she wants… AHHHHHHHHHH!
» XPW TV TITLE TOURNY SEMIFINALS: GRIMES vs. KONNAN
Konnan shows off his wrestling superiority off early with a huge clothesline and side suplex on Vic Grimes! But Grimes shows that he's more powerful with a mega leg drop and a splash in the corner. Grimes then goes to the top rope, but misses a leg drop. Konnan takes advantage of this and hits a side to belly suplex. Fans who only know Konnan from WCW were surprised next when the two went to the floor and battled with anything that wasn't bolted down. Guardrails, steps, metal signs, barricades, lights, a ladder and more! Grimes over powers him with a suplex on the concrete! Vic then sets Konnan on a table on the outside, does a front flip from the top rope, but Konnan moves just in time! K-Dog throws Grimes back in the ring where he locks on the Tequila Sunrise for the submission! With both of Black's men out of the tournament, the Army hits the ring to beat down Konnan. Halloween, Damien, and Victoria head to the ring and out of the crowd runs a familiar looking man. The Army leaves the ring, and Konnan talks about La Familia taking over XPW. The group, consisting of Konnan, Halloween, Damien, Victoria, and Psychosis (the familiar looking man) is going to win the TV title and then take it straight to Rob Black!
WINNER AND ADVANCING TO THE FINALS: KONNAN
» We see Kevin Kleinrock wearing "his" Deathmatch Title, telling Rob Black that he's not gay and is going out on a date with Aaron. Johnny Webb walks in, and says he'll be shooting his promo for 20/20 Liquor to get some cash to pay XPW. But Webb is really worried about something, who is his mystery opponent at HIH2? Would he let someone who owes him $1372 get hurt? Webb says he doesn't even have the number written down, but Kevin insists it is in his head. As 'White Trash' leaves, Black and Kleinrock start making fun of him. He comes back in, and asks AGAIN why he had to tap so quick to Konnan. In order for him to be World Champion, he had to lose to Konnan!
» Kevin is sitting on Black's leather chair, adding condiments to his burger slowly. Black shouts to him that he's gay, gay like Angel! After their homosexual conversation, they try to figure out where to put Konnan into Halloween In Hell II. Black says he has something, that something will be revealed next week. Mexico's Most Wanted, Konnan, and Pyschosis will all have work at the next show. The next topic is how in the hell D got into the building. Angel tried to stop him, but D beat his ass. D has to start at the bottom, and he will with Angel at Halloween in Hell 2 on October 13th.
» Kevin is in his office, looking at Britney Spears photos on the Internet. He gets a call, kisses Britney's picture, and leaves his office.
» G.Q. Money is in Veronica Caine's office, but she's not there. Kaos asks him if the Bodybuilding Competition for the next show is on, but not at HIH2. What? He has to wrestle New Jack? Money says he can pose after he beats New Jack, 1-2-3. Kaos is the superstar, G.Q. needs to take care of it.
» Kevin runs into Black's office, and says Supreme is on his way. He didn't give him what he wanted. Supreme wanted a shot at the Deathmatch Title against Kaos, not Grimes in an Exploding Ring Match. Black tells Kevin to get all the trainees at The Asylum to confront him when he arrives.
» The VP of XPW, Kevin Kleinrock, gets all the students to stand at every doorway, with the biggest of them all [some huge red neck guy] at the front door.
» Supreme gets to the office, throws that big red neck dude a side, and punches the rest in the face! He gets into his office, where he pummels Angel, and finds Kevin behind Black's desk. On October 13th, Supreme is F'N back! He's not scared of this sh*t, Black's dead, Kevin's dead, everyone's dead!
» We see G.Q. Money dancing on top of his table, when Kaos calls. He tells him he's not fighting New Jack, he took care of it. He drops the phone, and continues to dance on top of the table! GQ Money got moves!
» Black walks into his office, see Angel hurting, and finds Kevin under his desk. WHOA, WHOA! He tells him Supreme came, but he didn't punch him. Why didn't he, what was he thinking? He tells him Supreme said he's number 2 on his list, with Kaos being first. He orders them to leave his office.

Pete's Pedal for Mental Health
In light of this week's Mental Health Awareness Week, we wanted to raise awareness of a fantastic undertaking by a friend of the clinic Peter Wright. Please take a read below to get an insight into this amazing effort:
Putting pedal-power to action for a very good purpose
Veteran cyclist and walker, Peter Wright, is going to put pedal-power where his mouth is to generate support for young people with severe mental health problems. "The need for action on young peoples mental health has never been more urgent" he says, so this charity founder and author is cycling Scotland end-to-end for a project that has been making a real difference for almost 20 years now. This project supports young people referred by the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) to re-engage with regular activities, through the framework of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Petes' pedal will raise funds to make the Expedition portion of the award – a self-sufficient walking and camping trip undertaken by teams of young people – financially accessible to all.
Wright thrives on challenges. A few years ago, he walked the 1,200 Watershed of Scotland. He has had heart surgery and an operration on his ankle, so a new challeneg by pedal-power to raise money to help young people, via a unique project that he founded, is just up his street. He will be cycling solo and camping from Berwick Upon Tweed to Duncansby Head by minor roads.
"It was my simple conviction that this project, combining DofE through FOTA, and in partnership with CAMHS, could make a real difference to young lives affected by mental health problems, that inspired the venture. Over the years, it has proved its worth many times over for these young people, and we are all determined to see it continue to provide the life-changing experiences that are its hallmark"
Peter Wright, MBE aged 72

Downton Abbey – We Cannot Escape History
The last known World War I veteran has died at the age of 110. Like the fictional Ladies Edith and Sybil Crawley in Downton Abbey, Florence Green crossed the boundaries of social and cultural convention to take the place of men who were fighting on the Western Front. Mrs. Green joined the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) at age 17 to work as a mess steward. In later years, she fondly remembered the officers she served as "perfect gentlemen." "It was very pleasant and they were lovely," she said, "not a bit of bother.
As depicted in Season 2 of the BBC series, which takes place during the "Great War," the human toll was of such a magnitude that it reverberates even today, nearly a century later. The total number of military and civilian deaths was over 35 million, while more than 31 million men were wounded. Like the veterans living and working at Downton Abbey, many were permanently damaged mentally and physically.
The War was a political, cultural, and social cataclysm that created the conditions allowing Nazism and Communism to arise, leading to the deaths of another 100 million between 1920 and 1950 – nearly 3 percent of the world's population.
T he Allies' desire to punish Germany after the War was undoubtedly a major factor in the rise of Adolf Hitler. The cruel continuation of the naval blockade of Germany for eight months after the War ended killed over a quarter of a million civilians due to disease and starvation. As Robert Leckie – one of the real life characters in HBO's The Pacific series – wrote, the blockade did much to "torment the Germans … driving them with the fury of despair into the arms of the devil."
Abraham Lincoln said, "We cannot escape history." While Florence Green's passing mayhave ended a living connection with World War I, its lessons remain relevant today. Politicians who willfully ignore history in the pursuit of misguided foreign wars and blockades will continue the age old cycle of causing suffering for the innocent.

William Dunn says
The plight of "innocent" civilians in rogue, violent and dictitorial governments is to be lamented. It is true that the sanctions against these govenrments impact the common people with dire results. However these people are not quite as "innocent" as we are lead to believe if they passivenly support their govenments and make no effort to change these corrupt and violent regimes. It can be done as we are seeing in the Middle East today.
Tim Vicary says
Nice thoughtful post Tim. History is always with us, though we don't always realise. Love the pictures.
Jennie Marsland says
What a beautiful picture of Florence Green. She looks so young and glowing. It's so very true that if we fail to learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.
To my mind, the generation that fought in the Great War is unique. The fought in the greatest war the world had known at that point, survived the Great Depression, and sent their sons to World War II. They grew up with horses and buggies and lived to see men walk on the moon. I can't help but admire them.

Hey Dan, we met during CWOS… I was the engineer who did the stairway installation. Do you have any images of those really graphic framed circle pieces online anywhere? Could you post those if possible? They were amazing!
Hi Jonathan! I've been meaning to get those posted here, but haven't yet. Thanks for the prodding! I will soon.

Kim witnesses 'man's inhumanity to man'
TOUGH CONDITIONS: Australia's offshore detention centre in Nauru was an eye-opener to the Sunshine Coast's Kim Edwards. DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION
by PatrickWilliams
KIM Edwards has written a book about the four weeks she spent in Nauru.
But her comprehensive journal on life behind the walls of a detention centre won't be published for some time ... if ever.
The former Sunshine Coast mayoral candidate, author and business leader has returned from a month-long stint as a care worker and English teacher in the controversial refugee detention centre.
It was a month of harsh living conditions, many tears and a broken ankle that brought her stay to a premature end.
"The experience was what I expected because I expected the worst," she said.
"I would have to say I loved the work, but it was one of the hardest things I've ever done.
"I've been in Afghanistan and Iraq. I can say that four weeks in Nauru was harder than three months in Afghanistan in a war zone."
Kim Edwards took time off her work to see the sights in Nauru before she broke her ankle. Contributed
Ms Edwards said her time on Nauru was eye-opening.
While she had worked with refugees before, it was her first time in a detention centre.
"It makes you realise that these are real people and this is real life," she said. "This is not a political story. It's not a media story. It's a human story.
"I think that's what crystallised it for me.
"I've worked with refugees in a number of countries, but to be involved in processing was new for me.
"It was heart-breaking at times. I shed a lot of tears."
Of the 400 men in the detention centre, 260 of them willingly attended a lesson with Ms Edwards each day.
"Sometimes we had 50 crammed in there," she said.
"Just to see their keenness, their energy and to have a positive learning environment was a wonderful privilege.
"I felt a real sense of achievement.
"That was a wonderful outcome."
Living conditions were tough, even for staff.
Ms Edwards slept on an army stretcher bed in a room shared by 11 other women.
Hot and cold running water was considered a luxury.
The male staff weren't so lucky. They had no hot water.
The weather didn't help.
"It's incredibly hot. I've never sweated so much in my life," Ms Edwards said.
She was meant to spend six weeks in Nauru but her time was cut short when she suffered an ankle injury.
"I fell over while working at the beginning of my third week there," she said.
"I ended up walking around on crutches there for two weeks before we decided it would be best for me to return early to get treatment."
Looking back, she said she would not change a thing.
"I'm really glad I did it," she said.
"It was an amazing experience and, to be honest, I felt very privileged to be there.
"The men in the detention centre were amazing men, just amazing.
"They were former politicians, police, business owners, people who worked with international media.
"Most of them have families they've left behind.
"Unfortunately, Nauru is an example of man's inhumanity to man.
"It's just the worst conditions for them."
Ms Edwards is weighing up whether to return to Nauru on a new contract.
She said she would go back because she loveddoing something worthwhile, but her ankle injury and lack of the medical facilities could prove a hurdle.

I Nightmare Lodge sono un gruppo musicale italiano di musica post-industriale fondato a Bari nel 1987. Le sonorità della band sono spesso legate a sonorità di tipo darkwave/neoclassico e rituale.

Storia del gruppo

1987-1992: Prima Fase
Nel giugno 1987 Ivan Iusco, il bassista Gianni Mantelli e il cantante Beppe Mazzilli, tutti provenienti da una precedente formazione dark wave che comprendeva anche il chitarrista Nicola Cipriani (successivamente collaboratore di Iusco in alcune colonne sonore e negli album del progetto IT), entrano in un piccolo studio di registrazione di Bari per registrare il primo album in cassetta Big Mother In The Strain della neonata formazione Nightmare Lodge. La cassetta esce il 12 dicembre 1987 come prima pubblicazione dell'etichetta Minus Habens Records fondata nello stesso anno da Iusco. Fin dalla cassetta d'esordio la band intreccia riferimenti al mondo magico/pagano alla ritualità cristiana, numerologica e ritualistica, spesso desacralizzandoli velocizzando canti liturgici, oppure inserendo filastrocche e canzoncine per bambini.

Nel 1988, Nightmare Lodge cambia formazione inglobando la cantante Monica Cioce al posto di Gianni Mantelli.

Dopo questo primo nastro, all'inizio del 1989 esce il primo album in vinile. Lo split album, condiviso con il romano Lyke Wake ed intitolato The Oneiric Transgression / Noise And Dream, che fu anche la prima pubblicazione in vinile della Minus Habens Records, e nel 1990, pubblicano un altro split album, questa volta con la band californiana Blackhouse dal titolo Ice Skin / The Gospel According To The Men In Black (Minus Habens Records, 1991)

Nel 1991 esce il loro secondo album dal titolo Asylum (Minus Habens Tapes). Con il trasferimento di Mazzilli in Veneto nel 1992 e la collaborazione di Ivan Iusco con il belga Dirk Ivens per Dive, si chiude il periodo post-industrial dei Nightmare Lodge. In tutto questo primo periodo le loro composizioni "condividono forti contrasti, dovuti al continuo alternarsi tra uso della scala temperata e la creazione di cacofonie" con l'alternarsi di sensazioni positive e negative. In questo senso Asylum rappresenta un po l'emblema del loro stile iniziale, in cui "coesistono le due anime del gruppo".

1993-1997: Seconda Fase
Nel 1993 Iusco incontra Russolo, musicista appassionato di cinema horror e di fantascienza. Grazie a questa nuova collaborazione vede la luce Negative Planet (Minus Habens Records, 1994) il primo album in CD dei Nightmare Lodge con Silvia Chicco alla voce in un brano. Il disco, che già richiama ad una musica ambientale dalle forti tensioni cinematografiche, unisce musica cosmica, atmosfere orrorifiche e tensioni sinfoniche il tutto unito ad orchestrazioni che rimandano alla musica classica.

A Negative Planet seguono Luminescence (Minus Habens Records, 1996), totalmente strumentale, e The Enemy Within (Minus Habens Records, 1997), che vede il ritorno di Beppe Mazzilli in un due brani.

Con questa trilogia, che riscuote una notevole attenzione di critica e pubblico in varie nazioni, si chiude la seconda fase del gruppo.

1998-2000: Terza Fase
Nel 1998 i Nightmare Lodge compongono la colonna sonora (in collaborazione con il musicista siciliano Paolo Bigazzi) del film di fantascienza indipendente Syrena di Mariano Equizzi (Minus Habens Records, 1998).

L'ultimo album vero e proprio, strumentale, è Blind Miniatures uscito nel 1999 per l'etichetta americana Red Stream, in cui già la band prendeva le distanze da sonorità smaccatamente dark elettroniche dei primi periodi per introdurre sonorità vagamente esotiche, surreali e minimali dal sapore di darkwave di ispirazione neoclassica. Fa poi seguito Tentacled (Red Stream, 2000), album che raccoglie brani prodotti e pubblicati tra il 1989 ed il 1999 in versione remix o registrati ex novo. In Tentacled ritroviamo Silvia Chicco in un brano del 1989 originariamente inciso con Monica Cioce.

Nell'estate del 2000 i Nightmare Lodge, con il chitarrista Nicola Cipriani, eseguono dal vivo in Calabria una colonna sonora scritta ad hoc per il film "La Guerra dei Mondi". Si tratta della loro unica apparizione live.

2002-ad oggi: Ripresa dei lavori
Nel 2002 pubblicano un remix di "Toxic Ways" (originariamente incluso in "Negative Planet") nella compilation per i 15 anni di Minus Habens dal titolo "Fractured Reality", in cui compaiono anche altri artisti che precedentemente avevano collaborato con l'etichetta di Iusco, come Depeche Mode, Brian Eno, William Orbit, Pankow.

Nel 2003 invece pubblicano per l'etichetta pugliese Small Voices il 7" picture disc a tiratura limitata contenente due brani registrati nel maggio del 2000 e rimasti nel cassetto, dai titoli "Nexus" e "Unlimited Cut" (inclusa in versione differente in una compilation della britannica Rough Trade).

Dopo aver pubblicato una serie di colonne sonore tra il 2000 ed il 2004, Ivan Iusco riprende a lavorare con Russolo nel 2005.

We continue to see individuals fearful of owning equities due to an aversion to potential losses. This negativity is a real positive for owners of companies (that's you if you hold stocks) over the long haul. The average individual investor is terrified of the market.
Investors pulled more money from mutual funds that buy U.S. stocks than they deposited for a fifth straight year in 2011, the longest streak in data going back to 1984, according to the Investment Company Institute in Washington. Outflows totaled $2.13 billion in January. Withdrawals were $135 billion last year, the second-highest total after 2008.
As Businessweek asks: where's the party for this bull market?
He is talking about what's known as loss aversion. Believe it.

The tyranny of society, A Nepali play shows how society mutes the voice of a transgender woman
February 27, 2018 / Pahichan Reporter
Sandesh Ghimire/Pahichan – Jiundo Akash, a play currently on stage at Sarwanam Theatre, shows the struggle of a person who does not conform to the heteronormative standards of society. Written by Chandra Prakash Pandey and directed by RK Roshan Mehta, the play is a solo performance by actor Anil Subba.
"My name is Garima, but I was born as Gaurav," says the person on stage, who seems to be comfortable with her sexual identity, yet as she begins to engage the audience with her life story, it is clear that most of her life was spent in confusion and isolation. The play takes the format of a flashback and starts from the age when Gaurav was six years old. At home, Gaurav's feminine nature was brushed off as childish behaviour, while at school Gaurav was teased for "not walking like a boy and for choosing to spend time in 'girly' things."
The story of the play moves on to depict the inner isolation felt by a transgender woman, because the identity she associates with is branded by society as an 'unnatural choice'. The play also shows the hypocritical nature of society in its dealing with the transgender community. When Garima becomes a young-adult, she is forced by her father to participate in the recruitment trial for the army. At the army camp, the recruiting officer rapes Garima, and then rejects her from the army claiming that "there is no space in the army for a Chakka." Similarly, the play also shows how a lack of social acceptance forces the transgender community to engage in prostitution to make an income, and are also forced to live dual lives. Throughout the play, Garima is constantly forced to assume the identity of Gaurav for her family's sake.
"This play is a damming indictment of our society," Rajan Khatiwada, artistic director of Mandala Theatre shared with the Post, "There is no greater cruelty than to make somebody feel lonely." He also heaped praises on Subba for his performance, "Subba not just accurately portrayed the role of a transgender person living a dual life, but was also convincing in all the other roles that he enacted. "
The play will be staged every day at Sarwanam Theatre in Kalikasthan till March 3, except for Thursdays.

Fraser Valley/Victoria – As of Noon September 11, campfires will once again be allowed throughout the Coastal Fire Centre's jurisdiction.
So the fall camping season won't be a write-off, you can still roast weenies and make smores.
Since April 1, there have been 135 human-caused wildfires within the Coastal Fire Centre, which is greater than the 10-year average. Human-caused wildfires are completely preventable and unnecessarily divert firefighting resources from naturally caused wildfires.

InSight Probe is on the way to Mars to study Geology. The Search for Life on Mars with Rover 2020
InSight Probe is on the way to Mars to study Geology The Search for Life on Mars with Rover 2020: The Plan is to Land at Ancient Lakebed known as Jezero Crater by Award-winning Author, adventurer and Scientist Mark Kingston Levin, PhD
Figure 1. Jezero Crater is an ancient Martian depression. It was probably created by an asteroid, millions or even billions of years ago. It is a good place to search for evidence of life.
Credit: Tim Goudge/NASA
Jezero Crater is about 50 Km (30 miles) wide and is located at 18.855°N 77.519°E in the Syrtis Major quadrangle. The name Syrtis Major is from the classical Roman name Syrtis maior for the Gulf of Sidra on the coast of Libya.
Figure 2. The northern side of the planet Mars contains both Syrtis Major Planitia and Elysium Planitia. Please see on the right top of the map
Syrtis Major was the first documented surface feature of another planet. It was discovered by Christiaan Huygens, who included it in a drawing of Mars in 1659. He used repeated observations of the feature to estimate the length of day on Mars. The feature was originally known as the Hourglass Sea but has been given different names by different cartographers. In 1840, Johann Heinrich von Mädler compiled a map of Mars from his observations and called the feature Atlantic Canale. In Richard Proctor's 1867 map it is called the Kaiser Sea (after Frederik Kaiser of the Leiden Observatory). Camille Flammarion called it the Mer du Sablier (French for "Hourglass Sea") when he revised Proctor's nomenclature in 1876. The name "Syrtis Major" was chosen by Giovanni Schiaparelli when he created a map based on observations made during Mars' close approach to Earth in 1877.
We believe that Mars long ago had water and this crater was full of it about 3 to 4-billion years ago. This large crater may contain deposits of clays with fossils. The lake in the crater was present when valley networks were forming on Mars. Besides having a delta, the crater shows point bars and inverted channels. From a study of the delta and channels, it was concluded that the lake did have a long period to evolve life. Was there life on Mars? If we find something I will be pleasantly surprised.
Figure 3. Shows the South Pole and more, About 1000 Km from the equator on Mars is the Jezero Crater.
NASA's Mars 2020 rover is expected to explore one of these paleolakes. Jezero Crater is one of two dozen sites that a team of scientists are expected to search for life if any ever existed. "These breached lakes are fairly common and some of them are quite large, some as large as the Caspian Sea," lead author Tim Goudge, a scientist at the University of Texas at Austin, said in a statement. "So, we think this style of catastrophic overflow flooding and rapid incision of outlet canyons was probably quite important on early Mars' surface."
The team of geoscientists looked at the relationship between the canyon measurements and the crater rims that once enclosed all that water. Because the canyon size increased in proportion to the size of the nearby lake, the team believes that the 24 lakes violently burst through their walls, carving the canyons in just a month or less. What could have caused this violent event?
"The landscape on Earth doesn't preserve large lakes for a very long time," co-author Caleb Fassett, a planetary scientist at NASA, said in the same statement. "But on Mars … these canyons have been there for 3.7 billion years, a very long time, and it gives us insight into what the deep time surface water was like on Mars." Therefore, some scientist think that these lakes may hold secrets of life if it ever evolved on Mars went it was wet, billions of years ago.
Perhaps that is the reason NASA wants to send its Mars 2020 rover to this part of Mars in 2021. The new research was included in a paper published on Nov. 16 in the journal Geology.

InSight is expected to land November 26, 2018 if all goes well. NASA will make history on Mars again. NASA launched the Mars probe, known as InSight Mars Lander, on May 5, 2018. It is expected to land on the flat plains of Elysium Planitia. InSight will research the Red Planet's core. Insight is designed with a heat probe, a seismometer, communication systems and a crane. InSight will look deep to understand Marsquakes and other phenomena on Mars.

Q: Converting JsValue to Vec I need to use web_sys::Blob::array_buffer which returns a Promise that resolves to an ArrayBuffer. Promise currently only resolves to JsValue in Rust. How do I convert that to Vec<u8>?

A: First you must convert it to Uint8Array with Uint8Array::new which takes a &JsValue.
Then you can use:

*

*Uint8Array::to_vec to get a Vec<u8>

*Uint8Array::copy_to to fill an existing &mut [u8] of the same size

let buffer: JsValue = /* ... */;
let array = Uint8Array::new(&buffer);
let bytes: Vec<u8> = array.to_vec();

I would think that they would. I think Amy knows someone who works for them so I'll see if she can find out.
I'm starting to think I would rather just not work and still get paid.
I'm on another break right now.
That is all I can say right now.
I must get ready to go work my OT now. I'm not really minding it at the moment since it wasnt insane yesterday...today could be another story. Everyone is going to be there again which is fun and Amy is coming in early so we can give her her gifts.
I think we are going to see 'Charley and the Chocolate Factory' today.
I just had the best lunch. My dad grilled corn and tons of peppers and onions for dinner the other night. I took some leftovers home YUM. I think I'm going to stop at the store and pick up a few peppers for him to grill for me tonight.
I promised myself I wasn't going to the Renaissance Festival this year. I just got to my parents house and there was a brochure for me from the festival. 35th anniversary this year. I think I'm going to have to break down and go. It's so expensive to get in and I always buy a goblet from the same place. I have to go but I shouldn't.
I was going to ask about the picture!
I just got back from the Irish Festival and when I went to put my money back in my pocket after getting a lemonade I spilled some on me so I set the lemonade down....when one of the guys working the festival came up and asked if I needed help! I said no I was ok and he left but I was like what was he going to do stick my money in my pocket? I should have let him...he seemed kind of cute...had cool shades on.
I'm beginning to think I need to do different stuff solo every Sunday....I've encountered cute boys the last 2 Sundays!

Madina-Adenta highway: We're highly disappointed in Transport, Roads Ministry - OccupyGhana
Pressure group, OccupyGhana have expressed their disappointment in the Transport Ministry, Roads and Highways Ministry and the Ghana Highways Authority for their slow reaction towards the handling of the recent spate of fatalities at the Madina-Adenta highway.
According to the group, the aforementioned authorities have not taken any serious and active measures that would save the lives of the pedestrians who ply that stretch on daily basis.
They quizzed why the footbridges had been abandoned by successive governments, thus making it unsafe for pedestrians to cross the multiple lane highway.
Although the Ministry of Roads and Highways has announced that work on the six uncompleted pedestrian bridges in Adenta will commence in a week, OccupyGhana hopes government will act on its word stressing that they (OccupyGhana) will hold them accountable till the bridges are completed.
Frustrated residents on Thursday staged a protest burning tyres and blocking the highway after a first-year student at WASS was knocked and killed by a speeding taxi driver.
They blamed the development on the failure of government to ensure that there are footbridges for pedestrians on the highway.
Following that, OccupyGhana has given immediate solutions that would reduce the carnage on the Madina-Adenta Highway. They provided a six-pointer solution that they prayed government adheres to in order to immediately resolve the situation.
Read below the full statement from the pressure group; OccupyGhana
OccupyGhana® presents immediate solutions for reducing the carnage on Tetteh Quarshie-Adenta highway (N4)
OccupyGhana® is alarmed at the spate of pedestrian deaths on the Tetteh Quarshie-Adenta Highway (N4) in Accra due to the unavailability of safe crossing facilities on the road. The latest fatality in which a first-year female student of West Africa Senior High School (WASS) was killed becomes the 194th reported death on the Madina-Adentan Highway this year.
OccupyGhana® joins the nation in grieving with the bereaved families of the deceased.
The incident which caused angry residents to set ablaze car tyres to register their protest to the government is deeply regrettable and avoidable had government been proactive in arresting the situation sooner.
OccupyGhana® is surprised that after 11 years of construction of the highway, none of the footbridges have been completed, thus making it unsafe for pedestrians to cross the multiple lane highway. It is expected that footbridges, which forms the integral safety of pedestrians must be constructed before the commissioning of any highway.
OccupyGhana® is disappointed in the slow reaction of the Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Roads and Highways, and the Ghana Highways Authority in handling this issue thus causing the loss of a reported 194 lives. The mentioned authorities have not taken and safety measures to save the lives of innocent Ghanaians crossing our roads. We however acknowledge government's statement in dealing with the situation and we will hold them to it.
OccupyGhana® therefore calls for the following immediate solutions to be implemented in curbing the carnage on the Tetteh Quarshie-Adenta Highway (N4)
1. Effective immediately, rumble strips should be constructed on the long stretch of road beginning from the University of Ghana to the Pantang end of the highway to reduce the unnecessary speeding of drivers.
2. Government should replace all faulty traffic lights that have been faulty with modern and solar powered controlled traffic lights. Further to this, extra traffic lights with toucan crossing system must be fixed to allow free flow of traffic.
3. Public education must be extended to the schools in educating the public on safe crossing of the highway by the National Road Safety Commission. The Road Traffic laws must be implemented to arrest drivers and pedestrians who flout the regulations of speeding and Jay walking respectively.
4. Officials of the MTTD of the Ghana Police must be on duty round the clock to control the traffic situation till all works are completed on the repair and installation of the traffic lights and rumble streets.
5. Government must provide adequate road signs and markings along this stretch, as well as reflectors fixed on the kerbs. Marked crosswalks where pedestrians have priority over vehicular traffic e.g. zebra crossings should be provided
6. Government should fix all streetlights along the corridor and ensure they are maintained.
OccupyGhana® is concerned about road safety measures on other highways, most especially the N1 highway that is claiming a lot of lives. Government should apply these same measures on the N1 highway.
Yours in the service of occupying minds for God and Country

But on top of all these riches, his past is full of hurt and has a dark secret which he has kept to himself closely guarded with only a few knowing his real story. Life is incomplete for him, but all this is about to change with a simple letter from a teenage boy.
Harper Newman is a woman with a lot of hurts too and is not negotiating on letting a man into her life. She has a negative opinion on men with money as she believes they would not value her or help satisfy the urge inside her that has been there for long. More to this, she is tasked with the responsibility of taking care of her brother all by herself, and this means that being with another person would bring a lot of compromises.
She longs for a change of lifestyle to live a wild and free one even though current circumstances seem to tie her down— these changes when they make contact with Will from the kisses and caresses that she gets and this turns her life around. As they grow into each other, she discovers that she was wrong about him and that is the perfect person to feel the emptiness that she has been holding for a long time.

Ghost in Alabama 'personhood' case? New York Times produces religion-free front-page story
It's the kind of dig-below-the-surface, front-page takeout for which the New York Times is famous.
It's certainly a meaty subject matter: the arrest of an Alabama woman whose unborn baby died in a shooting.
But here's what I noticed: A holy ghost (refresh yourself on that term if you're new to GetReligion) most certainly haunts this in-depth but religion-free report from Monday's Times.
I mean, this is a story that's impossible to tell without acknowledging the huge role that religion plays in the South, right?
Somehow, though, the nation's most elite newspaper attempts to do so.
Let's start at the top:
PLEASANT GROVE, Ala. — In the days since police officers arrested Marshae Jones, saying she had started a fight that resulted in her unborn baby getting fatally shot, the hate mail has poured in.
"I will encourage all U.S. business owners to boycott your town," a woman from San Diego wrote on the Facebook page of the Pleasant Grove Police Department.
"Misogynist trash," wrote another.
"Fire the chief and arresting officers," wrote a third.
But Robert Knight, the police chief, said his officers had little choice in the matter.
"If the laws are there, we are sworn to enforce them," he said. "That's what we're going to do."
Around the country, the case of Ms. Jones — who was indicted by a grand jury for manslaughter — has served as a stark illustration of how pregnant women can be judged and punished when a fetus is treated as a person by the justice system.
A quick aside before I ask you to stay off my lawn: How sad is it that we live in an age in which unnamed Facebook critics are deemed worthy of the Times' cover? Seriously, are there no opposition sources who could speak intelligently in that prime dead-tree real estate against the arrest and the Alabama law? But I digress.
Back to the main point of this post: Keep reading, and the Times boils down the debate this way:

Q: Is there a way to get an EntityQuery from an OData uri In my application, I use the Odata Uri generated by breeze as a deep linked url.
Is there a way to get the reverse of this odata query, which is the breeze.EntityQuery that was originally used to build this uri?
Thanks

A: No, not for the OData URI format.
However, the new JSON uri format supported by breeze, is completely reversible.  If you are willing to switch to that, you will be able to get the breeze.EntityQuery from the JSON that is serialized on the URI.
I'm not sure how that would mess up your deep linking.


For the 16th time since the 1960s, Ghana is wrapping up a financial bailout from the International Monetary Fund and stepping away from the lender's oversight. Now, it's up to one of Africa's perennial overspenders to show that it can stick to a budget.
The previous time Ghana was in this position was in July 2012, five months before general elections, the country recorded the first of three consecutive annual fiscal deficits that exceeded 10 percent of gross domestic product. Its huge debt burden became even more difficult to service when erratic power supplies weighed on growth and sent the currency on a downward spiral, prompting it to turn to the IMF again in 2015.
Now, two years after the government of President Nana Akufo-Addo came to power on a pledge to take "Ghana Beyond Aid," the deficit has narrowed, inflation has slowed, debt levels have stabilized and economic growth is accelerating, estimated at 5.6 percent for last year and 7.6 percent for 2019. Reforms that range from legislation that outlaws large deficits to the establishment of fiscal supervisory councils and an aggressive banking-sector overhaul will do away with the need to ask the IMF for a 17th bailout after it passed the final review of the current one on March 20, according to the government.
Ghana's sale of $3 billion in Eurobonds last month, the country's biggest yet and oversubscribed more than six times, was proof that investors have faith in its financial management, Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta told lawmakers March 28.
The government didn't rein in the wage bill sufficiently, after overruns "by a little value" at the ministries of education and health, said IMF country representative Albert Touna Mama.
Ghana missed a target level for net reserves at Dec. 31 after the central bank had to allow the repatriation of securities held by foreign investors.
"There are structural reforms such as public-sector efficiency and a reduction in the huge wage bill that Ghana failed to implement," said Godfred Bokpin, senior finance lecturer at the University of Ghana.
"Post-IMF, the key issue would be maintaining the fiscal discipline and doing so across the elections cycle," said Stuart Culverhouse, London-based chief economist at Exotix Partners LLP. Ghana needs to improve revenue collection to consistently meet its revenue targets, he said.


It seems you've completed your profile, team and even had that fun test to tell your personality! Wait you didn't? Hmm…. Well, you can always go back to Platform and completed it, but we guess you're here because you got stuck with coming up with a name!
Don't worry, we've been there and struggled too, but as you see we came out victorious and so will you!
First of all, let us remind you, that you are completing the draft of your idea, and while we don't want you to be precise, we don't want you to straight too far of. So, let's work together on some tips to help you come with the best name for your business idea.
Truth be told there's no such thing as the best name in the beginning. We always have doubts about everything, especially about something like a name of our company. Until the very end, and by that we mean either the full-blown success or a total failure we always have doubts if we should have named it differently.
Thus, like strategists like to say: there is no BEST, there's just the better option!
So, are you gonna give me those tips?
Yes, yes, we will. And you're bound to love them!
But before we do so, let us briefly explain What is in the Name!
In simple words, the name of your business should be able to transcend time and convey the perfect image of your business. It's a delicate blend of art and science, thus we can never give a definite answer to the question.
The success of such giants as Microsoft, Apple and Amazon is not down their names alone. Nor did Facebook succeed where Diaspora failed simply because it had a catchier moniker. The fact is, a company is not made great by its name. It is made great by its business model, its people and, above all else, its achievements.
As we've been mentioning before, the inspiration for your company name can come from anywhere. You may be in the shower, on a conference or driving home from a long day at work! According to the 2011 biography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, the name Apple was born out of one of Jobs' fruitarian diets. Jobs thought the name sounded "fun, spirited and not intimidating." It covered the Suggestive, Meaningful, Imagery and Emotional parts of Watkins' SMILE.
You can take this approach, and find a name that has emotional ties to you, but before we leave you finding that perfect name let us cover the practical aspect too!
The practical considerations are more numerous than the emotional ones but arguably easier to apply. As you come up with ideas based on the emotions you want to evoke, check them against this list to make sure you avoid the classic naming pitfalls.
2. Is it baggage free? Now, this one is really important. and you'll need a lot of research for it. Suppose you chose something awesome for a name, but now, you'll have to think far, far ahead! yes, while you might be wondering why should I be thinking about expansion in China or India, I don't know if my business will be profitable in L.A. why should I care about the name in Chinese or Hindu?
Hold your horses there! Rule #1 of every business, don't limit yourself to such things! Think out of your box and look into future! Thus, it's good if you check how the name sounds in other languages, and if maybe, just maybe your company won't be famous somewhere just because the name has a different meaning in their language.
3. Is it usable in all applications? Further to the previous point, make sure the domain name you want is available. Consistency between your brand name and your domain name are very important for reinforcing your brand in customers' minds and many good name suggestions flounder on this technicality. It's easy to look up domain name availability online: Just do a search for "domain names" and open one of the numerous domain registration sites that come up.
Consider too how your brand name is going to appear– on packaging and signage, etc. Do you produce goods that will have your name on them? If so, how does that dictate the shape of it? A four-letter name like Dodo offers very different possibilities to a long name like Sparrowhawk. Think about social media handles too.
4. Has it got legs? Will it be possible for it to expand? Will you be able to grow in the future? Consider it again with previous points. Think into future!
