Les Valls Seques de McMurdo són una extensa zona no glaçada de l'Antàrtida, d'uns 15.000 km², situada a l'oest de les bases neozelandeses i estatunidenques de McMurdo Sound. El glaç no les cobreix, per això tenen un gran interès científic, ja que resulten úniques per a la recerca de la història de la Terra i l'adaptació de la vida a medis extrems.

El 3 de juny del 2004, Nova Zelanda i els Estats Units van establir un nou estatut per preservar-ne els valors faunístics, ecològics i estètics.

Les valls seques i el planeta Mart
Les valls fredes i seques i amb el sòl salí de McMurdo presenten taques humides a la primavera malgrat no haver ni fusió de la neu ni la possibilitat de pluja. Segons un estudi fet per la Universitat Estatal d'Oregon i publicat el febrer de 2012 per la revista científica Geophysical Research Letters, aquests sòls salins capturen humitat directament de l'atmosfera i aquest procés també podria tenir lloc al planeta Mart i a altres planetes. Els investigadors exposen que si bé amb la sal comuna cal un dia sencer amb un 75% d'humitat relativa en l'atmosfera perquè la sal quedi humida, amb la sal de clorur de calci només en cal el 35%. Els investigadors de la Portland State University i Ohio State University, van comprovar que els sòls humits creats per aquest fenomen tenien de 3 a 5 vegades més contingut d'aigua que els sòls del voltant i a més tenien més matèria orgànica, incloent microbis, situació que podria augmentar el potencial de vida a Mart, ja que els sòls salins també es presenten a Mart.

CamelPhat's debut album Dark Matter is here
Tue 6th Oct
Hot off the back of their new single Witching Hour, released just a few days ago, Dark Matter is the highly-anticipated first album from CamelPhat. To mark news of it's pre-order release, we review the project set to cement the duo as the hottest property in the dance music arena.
While some of the music will already be familiar as current and former hits, Dark Matter, which is named after their upcoming 2021 tour of the same name, will include a staggering 21 tracks in total, ensuring an action-packed listen from start to finish, and plenty of new material for their tour-finale at The SSE Arena Wembley on Saturday 17th April.
With 5 out of 9 Dark Matter tour dates already sold out and 75% of Wembley tickets already gone, booking in advance is essential.
CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS
PRE-ORDER ALBUM HERE
HERE'S WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO
Fantastical Collaborations
Aside from Dave and Mike's deft production prowess, Dark Matter is laced with fantasy collaborations. Our boys call on industry buddies, emerging new talent and combos straight out of leftfield. Fans already well acquainted with the sweet harmonies of vocalists Jem Cooke, Elderbrook, Rhodes and sensational newcomer Au/Ra, will be further buoyed by the other featured artists. Notable new collaborators include Irish singer-songwriter Maverick Sabre, house crooner Ali Love, Indie kid Leo Stannard and the group Lowes. Meanwhile, Jake Bugg adds heavyweight credibility on Be Somebody and the talented Ms. Cooke pops up numerous times on the record. In short, this guarantees plenty of singalong moments spread across the 21 individual tracks.
Not Over Yet
Vocals aside, the LP includes a wealth of studio hook-up with some of the biggest names in international music and through the spectrum. Perhaps the most tantalizing mash up on paper, is the pairing with Noel Gallagher on Not Over Yet, proving that, contrary to rumours, Mancunians and Liverpudlians gel together just fine. Noel has in the past expressed his fondness for house music and now Dave and Mike have got him onboard with Not Over Yet.
Croydon's Finest
Sticking within the dance music universe, Dark Matter boasts link-ups with girl duo Eli & Fur and Croydon's finest, Skream - the latter of which Oliver Jones teased on his socials as being amongst his best production work ever. They even manage to squeeze in a second collab with their BODYWORKS Ibiza pal Cristoph.
It hasn't only been established artists that CamelPhat invited into the studio. The album also contains collabs with the North East's Del-30 and fresh-faced Will Easton, underlining CamelPhat's ear for talent and commitment to help feed through the next generation.
Anyone still looking for extra reasons to get their hands on the release might want to check the exclusive new versions of three of CamelPhat's biggest club hits: Cola, Breathe and For A Reason. Each has been given the special Dark Matter treatment to reimagine them for 2021 dancefloors and beyond.
Overall, everything points to CamelPhat's debut LP being the most anticipated dance music album in years. With this in mind, we predict the Grammy and Ivor Novello nominated and multi-platinum act to add a number one album to their glowing list of accolades.
Hear it live at Wembley
If all this album discussion is setting your dopamine levels on heightened alert, then we suggest all CamelPhat fans elevate towards The SSE Arena Wembley on Saturday 17th April. Experience Dark Matter from all angles and in a live environment, as the duo culminate their headline UK tour with their biggest show to date in London. The album will be brought to life in this iconic venue as CamelPhat promise ground-breaking production to mark the occasion. We can also expect several of the artists who appear on the record to be making an appearance alongside them, making this an unmissable first event back after restrictions are lifted.

Sceal
Sceal is ranked in the 34th percentile of games scored on OpenCritic.
Based on 5 critic reviews
GameSkinny
PapaSisler
A quick overview of Sceal which is a mini Irish Folkore PC game with Chapter 2 gameplay.
Lydia Tang
Scéal's story is a small one, which allows it to be emotional, yet subtle as it handles the themes of a young girl's life and death.
Thom Compton
Sceal is, in term of narrative driven games, a must-have. It comes with considerable baggage, but at the end, it's clearly worth the time spent. Again, if too much story and very little gameplay sounds like a big flaw, steer clear. As for everyone else, there's something incredibly unique to be found here.
PressA2Join
Paul Policarp
"Scéal is an interesting experiment in visual style and storytelling. It creates a unique atmosphere and explores a rarely-touched setting, that of Irish folklore. While it has little to no core gamer appeal, as a casual experience it holds up pretty well. It could have benefited from having more than one area to explore across its three chapters which would have maybe added to its play time as well, but it's a fine and well-enough crafted project for its modest goals. And the music is pretty great."
GameGrin
Jennifer Rose Richards
My final rating is solely for the art, I'd be generous to really call this a game, but it has its charm.

Remarks by Ambassador Zhang Jun at the UN Security Council Briefing on the Safety of Nuclear Facilities in Ukraine
(From Chinese Mission to the United Nations)
I listened attentively to the briefings by Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo and IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi.
China pays close attention to the latest developments in Ukraine, and expresses our concerns over the relevant reports about the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. According to the information IAEA got from the Ukrainian nuclear authority, the main equipment of the nuclear power plant remains intact, and the level of radiation unchanged. We also noticed the information and clarification provided by Russia on the relevant matters. China attaches great importance to nuclear safety and security, and hopes that the parties concerned will act with great caution, and with specialized technical assistance from the IAEA Secretariat, work together to ensure the safety of relevant nuclear facilities inside Ukraine.
The Ukrainian crisis is still undergoing complex changes. The most important thing right now is to ease tension, avoid more civilian casualties, intensify diplomatic efforts, and get back as soon as possible to the track of political settlement. Russia and Ukraine have held two rounds of direct dialogue and negotiations, and have reached preliminary consensus on setting up a humanitarian corridor. China welcomes this, and hopes that it can facilitate better protection of civilians and help with the safe evacuation of all foreign nationals, including Chinese nationals. We encourage Russia and Ukraine to remain committed to the overall direction of political settlement, and reach a negotiated solution that accommodates the legitimate concerns of the two parties and contributes to Europe's lasting peace and security.
China welcomes all diplomatic efforts conducive to political settlement. We have played and will continue to play a constructive role to this end. The international community should stay cool-headed and rational, and adopt a responsible, impartial and objective attitude to create a sound atmosphere and conditions for direct negotiations between the parties concerning. Any action must contribute to de-escalation and diplomatic settlement, rather than adding fuel to the fire, leading to further escalation and deterioration of the situation.
Thank you, Madam President.

Jawa Group | We invest in people | Gold
Published on 9 August 2021
Everyone at The Jawa Group should be congratulated for having achieved Gold accreditation as an Investors in People organisation. It was evident from the survey results, through conversations with people and from spending time virtually with the organisation over the last three years, that Jawa Group has continually improved over the last three years as a place to work. Moving from Silver to Gold is a natural progression and an external measure of the progress the Jawa Group is making as an employer.
Building on the values and culture that the owning family set out to achieve many years ago, Jawa Group is now a genuinely great place to work for example, 94% of your people state that the organisation is a great place to work.
The deep-seated care provided to residents (known as patrons) is extended to the whole staff team. There is in place a clear strategy for the way forward for the organisation with ongoing communications on this, supported by a performance management and engaging culture. The Investors in People survey revealed that 96% of your people state that management communicates the vision. The strategy applied is demonstrating positive outcomes with 98% of your people stating that you have a positive impact on society, not only in relation to people's experience and perception but also in relation to business performance.
Q1 – Back to basics. Tell us about you and your organisation!
I am Registrar of the Jawa Group, a specialist dementia care provider in south east London. We are a family-owned and run service with a hands-on management team, and employ over 100 staff in a variety of roles giving service to just under 100 clients. The company has been an accredited member of the Investors in People since 2014.
Q2 – In a nutshell, how does your organisation make work better? What is your WOW?
Family and community are at the heart of everything we do, embracing and empowering our patrons, their relatives and our team members.
Q3 – Where did your story begin, and where have you got to now? What are you most proud of?
Having begun their careers as registered mental health nurses, Roy and Sherine Jawaheer had already had many years' experience of running NHS day hospitals when they opened a small care home for 14 residents. Sharing a single room at the top of the house with their children, Rishi and Sonia, they lived together with the service users as an extended family. Dedicated to providing genuinely person-centred specialist dementia care, the Jawa Group of homes has grown to become one of London's leading care villages, occupying a pivotal role in the local community. We are proud to be known in the healthcare sector for our professionalism in care.
We needed a Care Management System that would lift management of our patrons' care away from the old days of handwritten, generic, 'cut and pasted' notes in a communication book, into a higher league of digital documentation and compliance evidence. With most of the software on the market designed to a standard business model, there was nothing that met the specific requirements of the care home environment. We considered ourselves ideally placed as hands-on service providers to develop and test a bespoke system. 'Care Vision' software is now fully operational not only at the Jawa Group but also in many other services in the UK and overseas.
As a pioneer in the UK of Namaste Care, an intervention for people with advanced dementia, the Jawa Group supports and operates the secretariat of Namaste Care International. NCI is a non-profit membership organisation, providing training and resources for the global advancement of this therapy.
Q4 – What's next?
We want to build on the lessons that the Covid-19 pandemic has taught the wider community, in terms of the valuable and vital role played by those working in social care. Recruitment is an ongoing challenge, however we aim to encourage and nurture a new generation of carers. They will be people who value themselves and in turn are valued by society, not stereotyped and merely 'clapped for' but put on the pedestal traditionally reserved for doctors and lawyers. Carers make the world go round!
We aim to improve still further in communicating our core messages to our team members.
Q5 – How did Investors in People fit into this journey?
Investors in People gave us a framework for evaluating the way the organisation works, how management understand our team members and how management understands them. Also to identify strengths and weaknesses, areas where we are special and goals to which we can aspire. We were supported all the way by our practitioner who made the process painless and even enjoyable.
Q6 – What advice would you give other organisations starting their journey?
View Investors in People as an ongoing project, a work in progress that has real relevance to the company's standards and success. Make friends with your practitioner!
Q7 – PRACTITIONER QUESTION – What makes this organisation so special?
Please highlight the stand out areas of progress and how your support helped make it happen!


The suspect was arrested after police found six rhino horns, an illegal firearm as well as an axe in a vehicle he was travelling in with two other men.
A 39-year-old suspected poacher who was arrested after he was found with rhino horns and an illegal gun and ammunition, will appear in court on Thursday, North West police said.
Arnelo Mhlanga was arrested on at the beginning of the month and made his first appearance in the Madikwe Magistrates' Court last week Wednesday.
Spokesperson Lieutenant-General Baile Motswenyane on Wednesday recalled how Nature Conservation game rangers spotted the accused and two other suspects exiting the Pilanesberg Game Reserve in a Mazda bakkie. A car chase ensued.
"During the chase, the suspects' vehicle collided with a tree trunk at Silverkraal. The police who responded quickly after being informed about the incident, arrested the accused while two other suspects managed to flee and evaded the arrest," said Motswenyane.

Post-breeding migration in land-based marine animals is thought to offset seasonal deterioration in foraging or other important environmental conditions at the breeding site. However the inter-breeding distribution of such animals may reflect not only their optimal habitat, but more subtle influences on an individual's migration path, including such factors as the intrinsic influence of each locality's paleoenvironment, thereby influencing animals' wintering distribution. In this study we investigated the influence of the regional marine environment on the migration patterns of a poorly known, but important seabird group. We studied the inter-breeding migration patterns in three species of Eudyptes penguins ( E. chrysolophus , E. filholi and E. moseleyi ), the main marine prey consumers amongst the World's seabirds. Using ultra-miniaturized logging devices (light-based geolocators) and satellite tags, we tracked 87 migrating individuals originating from 4 sites in the southern Indian Ocean (Marion, Crozet, Kerguelen and Amsterdam Islands) and modelled their wintering habitat using the MADIFA niche modelling technique. For each site, sympatric species followed a similar compass bearing during migration with consistent species-specific latitudinal shifts. Within each species, individuals breeding on different islands showed contrasting migration patterns but similar winter habitat preferences driven by sea-surface temperatures. Our results show that inter-breeding migration patterns in sibling penguin species depend primarily on the site of origin and secondly on the species. Such site-specific migration bearings, together with similar wintering habitat used by parapatrics, support the hypothesis that migration behaviour is affected by the intrinsic characteristics of each site. The paleo-oceanographic conditions (primarily, sea-surface temperatures) when the populations first colonized each of these sites may have been an important determinant of subsequent migration patterns. Based on previous chronological schemes of taxonomic radiation and geographical expansion of the genus Eudyptes , we propose a simple scenario to depict the chronological onset of contrasting migration patterns within this penguin group.

I had lower expectations for digital TV than analog, but I hoped to see something by now. I'm not referring to tropo, which has actually been pretty good, but to e-skip. The season for this mode of TV DX is more than half over. There was a slow start reported throughout the US, but it's been picking up. Even my fellow Floridians are reporting catches. In spite of heavy monitoring here, though, I don't have a single thing to log.
I've already decided to start FM DXing in January, and a total bust with TV DX this summer will only cement that decision. FM has its own problems but it's still analog. I'll be starting on that band when DX activity is low, just as I started the AM band last month so I could ease into it during its seasonal lull. To complete the DXing package I'll also be starting NOAA weather stations (162 MHz) in January. E-skip is rare at such high frequencies but I look forward to it.
Hopefully I'll be able to buy some good portable equipment in the next few years. The beaches of Sanibel Island sound like nice DX spots.


Our bodies become toxic when we cannot naturally eliminate metabolic waste because of toxic overload. The toxins come from many sources including unfiltered tap water, pollution, chemicals in household cleaning and personal care products and medications, just to name a few.
We may have a tough time eliminating these toxins, even on a plant-based diet. But when our bodies become are nutritionally deficient because of a somewhat unhealthy diet, the detoxifying task becomes overwhelming. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is sadly lacking in the fiber and nutrients that promote vibrant health and, instead, fills our bodies with the calories and toxins that can quickly degrade our health.
The liver is the body's primary detoxification force. When functioning optimally, this vital organ eliminates 99% of harmful bacteria and other toxins. However, what if the liver isn't getting enough nutrition or isn't in great shape? This is particularly common among those who haven't had the healthiest diet and lifestyle.
If the liver can't perform as well as it should, over time toxins can get stored in tissues and cells, often leading to serious illness.
A plant-based detox can restore your energy and improve your health.
If you detox without also enriching your body with healthy nutrition, the process can be exhausting. That's why many people give up on conventional detox programs. But, when you balance the two—cleansing and energizing your body with a surge of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes—you cleanse, refresh and renew your body simultaneously.
After just seven days, you'll be ready to take on the world with renewed energy and overall health.
Register today for 7-Day Summer Detox Program, including our new book filled with all the information you'll need—recipes, shopping lists, daily guidance and more.

Sembène Film Festival: Standing on My Sisters' Shoulders
City of Asylum
40 W. North Avenue
(Run time: 60 minutes)
In 1965, when three women walked into the US House of Representatives in Washington D.C., they had come a very long way. Neither lawyers nor politicians, they were ordinary women from Mississippi,and descendants of African slaves. They had come to their country's capital seeking civil rights, the first black women to be allowed in the senate chambers in nearly 100 years. A missing chapter in our nation's record of the Civil Rights movement, this powerful documentary reveals the movement in Mississippi in the 1950's and 60's from the point of view of the courageous women who lived it–and emerged as its grassroots leaders.
Their living testimony offers a window into a unique moment when the founders' promise of freedom and justice passed from rhetoric to reality for all Americans. Through moving interviews and powerful archival footage, Standing on My Sisters' Shoulders weaves a story of commitment, passion and perseverance and tells the story of the women fought for change in Mississippi and altered the course of American history forever.
Sembène – The Film & Art Festival – is a group of scholars, activists and film aficionados. Our mission is to celebrate the life, showcase the work and honor the legacy of African Filmmaker Ousmane Sembene, through film and other complementary cultural events.
The Festival serves both as a vehicle and catalyst: to honor the life, work and legacy of Ousmane Sembene and to showcase film makers and other art/cultural events that speak, unflinchingly, to the important issues facing the modern African Diaspora.

Glenn urges Gov. Snyder to reverse call for Syrian refugees
Midland, Mich. -- Michigan state Rep. Gary Glenn, R-Midland, in the wake of deadly terrorist attacks in Paris by Islamic extremists carrying Syrian passports, Saturday called on Gov. Rick Snyder to reverse his call to relocate Syrian refugees in the state.
"I respectfully urge the governor to act cautiously and conservatively to fulfill what in the sad reality of today's world is the most fundamental responsibility of state government, to protect the public safety of our families and our communities here at home," Glenn said. "We should not rush to offer an open door to the high-risk importation of individuals from a known hotbed of Islamic extremism who security officials say cannot be safely screened to identify and block jihadists masked as 'refugees' who'd love to bring suicide vests and grenades to Ford Field or Fisher Theatre or Great Lakes Crossing."
Glenn disputed Snyder's earlier assurances that Syrian refugees can be safely vetted to block terrorist threats, citing testimony last month by FBI director James Comey, who told the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee that "we can only query against that (data) which we have collected. And so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interest reflected in our database, we can query our database until the cows come home, but there would be nothing show up because we have no record on it. You can only query what you have collected." (Video: http://www.wnd.com/2015/10/fbi-no-way-to-screen-refugees-coming-to-u-s/#ooid=ZqNGpjeDrxjmhlHEDNbae70T1uHSPvqj )
Congressman Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the U.S. House Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee of the House Homeland Security Committee, repeated that point Friday after terrorist attacks on Paris, saying the U.S. has no databases, no government records, and no employment records against which to vet Syrian refugees. "We don't know who these people are," King told Megyn Kelly of Fox News. (Fast forward to 2:30 of video: http://video.foxnews.com/v/4611974593001/rep-peter-king-paris-attack-should-be-wake-up-call-for-us/?playlist_id=2694949842001#sp=show-clips )
Glenn also said that any dramatic change in state immigration policy should include the legislature rather than be decided singularly by the governor. "There is wisdom -- and in this case, literally, perhaps a greater degree of safety -- in numbers, in particular the 148 elected representatives and senators who are perhaps more in tune with and sensitive locally to the real concerns of the families and citizens they represent."
He said no change in the state's immigration policy should occur "without a thorough and responsible review in advance of its likely impact on public safety and security, as well as the financial and social burden borne by taxpayers for the likely greater demand on law enforcement, social services, and welfare and other public benefits programs."

AB #386 | Finally, A Collection of Inexpensive 'Landing Pages' that Will Skyrocket Your Conversion Rates

Subscribe to Our Podcast Android | Email | Google Podcasts | RSS
In this edition of the Affiliate Buzz, host and Instructor of the Affiliate Marketers BootCamp, James Martell takes the helm without a guest to discuss landing pages, and reveals which ones he uses to skyrocket his conversion rates.
James dives right into the topic, starting with a collection of inexpensive landing pages that will literally skyrocket your conversion rate. When he swapped his landing pages out with these, he say conversion rates go from 2% up to as high as 40%.
Glancing Back at Past Affiliate Buzz Episodes
Looking back, James references Episode #380 of The Affiliate Buzz, titled "Projects You Can and Should Outsource". He feels that the majority of an affiliate marketer's job can be outsourced to other professionals who can do the work for a fraction of what it would cost you to do these things yourself.
Subscribe: Learn to make all the affiliate sales you'll ever need by listening in on content-rich conversations with the world's top affiliate marketers, influencers and thought leaders.
Next James harkens back to Episode #381, "How to Look Like a Million Dollar Business on a Shoe String Budget". In that podcast, he and Arlene shared their inexpensive sources for stock photography, stock video, stock audio, templates for flyers and brochures, and more.
Then in Affiliate Buzz #383, James and Arlene talked about "Starting Business Over After Life Got In The Way". James says that happens after all of us would care to admit, whether we get sidetracked by illness, last minute holiday, or any other reason for derailment.
Finally James references Affiliate Buzz #384, "Creating a Presentation that Sells Affiliate Marketing Podcast". In that episode, they discussed Arlene's situation of dealing with her back pain and use the story as an example of how they might use it to promote and sell a related product or service.
Creating Better Landing Pages for Your Website
James then segues into the topic of landing pages. A landing page could be a dedicated webpage with an opt-in offer to get people on your email list. It could be a buy-page where you sell an eBook or a product. A landing page has a great headline and subheadline, very little text, maybe a video or audio, but it is designed to create an action, such as generate a lead, a purchase, and so forth.
Early landing pages were clunky and cumbersome. Putting them together was a great deal of work. Back then, James outsourced the job to someone at Elance. During recent times James discovered a couple of tools. The first is called LeadPages, a lead generation platform, and the second is called OptimizePress. These tools are:
extremely powerful
integrate directly to WordPress
drag and drop technology
have beautiful templates
James says that the biggest feature of these new landing pages is that the conversion rate is built right in, so you know when you log in exactly how well that landing page is converting. Considering how complicated this was in the past, the new methods are a dream in comparison.
Comparing LeadPages and OptimizePress
Then James takes a few moments to compare the two software programs. Here is the information he shares during the program:
Price - $39 per month
Usage - As many websites as you like
Templates - Approximately 70
OPTIMIZEPRESS
Price - $97 one-time fee
Usage - Up to 3 WordPress sites
James adds that both programs integrate well with the top email marketing management software, like AWeber and MailChimp. Your landing page could offer free training or a course, give away a report, book or white paper, webinar registration, product launch funnels, and so forth. LeadPages and OptimizePress both take care of these things for you.
Tips for Getting Started with LeadPages
Next James explains how to use LeadPages. After signing up for an account, which you can pay for monthly or enjoy a deep discount for paying annually, you have full access to their templates as well as the developers' marketplace area.
The LeadPages' marketplace offers several dozen other reasonably-priced landing page templates which you can purchase for use with your WordPress account. You can then customize the pages with a WYSIWYG editor.
James also encourages listeners to head over to LeadPages after this podcast to check out their blog. The best of the best can be found in the LeadPages blog, where quality information is shared on a regular basis. Although the service does not offer a free trial, James foresees himself using it until he retires from the industry.
A Walk through OptimizePress
Then James walks through using OptimizePress. He says the softwares is a little different from LeadPages, but that the core elements are very similar. There is some optimization, but it is all pretty straightforward.
James adds that in the case of using both LeadPages and OptimizePress, each is mobile-friendly and will convert instantly to the size of the screen displaying the page, whether it's a tablet, desktop, laptop, smartphone, and so forth.
OptimizePress does offer one feature that LeadPages lacks, which is an ability called custom elements. This widget-like ability allows you to add a button to redirect, featured bullets, guarantee buttons, image boxes, video, et cetera. However OptimizePress also allows you to add audio on your landing pages.
Finally James segues into the importance of audio, from its role in the early days of the internet to the benefits it offers over a video that gives the same information.
If you haven't already done so, please consider leaving a review on iTunes (http://www.jamesmartell.com/itunes) or Stitcher (http://www.jamesmartell.com/stitcher). It just takes a couple of minutes and really helps get the word out about the Affiliate Buzz.

Genealogy Quest » States » Virginia » Giles County, Virginia » Biographies » James Stewart
The Stewart family, of Boyd or at least the family of which the Hon. James E. Stewart is the representative (for several families bearing the same name are unrelated to each other) are of Irish descent. James Stewart, grandfather of James E. Stewart, and father of Colonel Ralph Stewart, came from Giles County, Virginia, in 1813, and settled on the Sandy in what was afterwards Lawrence County. Some years after James Stewart came with his family from Giles County, Virginia, his aged father came out to see him. He was born and raised in Ireland, and was the earliest ancestor of this branch of the Stewart family in America, although other branches of the prolific tree had gone from Ireland to Connecticut, from whence they spread west into Pennsylvania and Ohio. Colonel Ralph Stewart, the son of James Stewart, was a young man when he came with his father to the Sandy Valley, for he was born in 1792. In 1829 he married America, daughter of Reuben Canterbury, of Canterbury. His wife was many years younger than he.
Colonel Stewart owned and cultivated a large farm on Durbin Creek, near the Sandy River, where he resided until his death in 1876. He was a man of strict integrity, and was always regarded as one of the prominent men of his county. While not a seeker after place, he filled many positions of trust and honor. He raised a large family of children, who have reflected credit on their good training by him and their mother. Their eldest son, Hon. James E. Stewart, on coming to age, studied law, and opened an office at Paintsville in 1855. He soon after married Miss Cynthia, daughter of Lewis Mayo, one of the leading men of the Middle Sandy Valley. The war coming on, 1861, found Mr. Stewart a sympathizer with the Southern side, and for words spoken in its favor he was sent to Camp Chase, where he remained a prisoner for a year or more. On being released by exchange, he returned home. Soon after this the oil fever struck the Sandy Valley, and Mr. Stewart's knowledge of law, and also of business, enabled him to make quite a snug thing out of the venture. After the war he bought a handsome property in Louisa, to which place he moved, and where he still resides. He filled the office of district prosecutor for six years, and also for the same length of time he was judge of the Criminal Court of his district. He filled both offices with great satisfaction to the people. He is now engaged in his law practice, and also in other business. One of his bright sons was called away by death when just entering on what seemed to be a career of usefulness. The Stewarts have ever been Democrats of the most pronounced type, and James E. Stewart is no exception to the rule. They are also Methodists in religion, Mr. Stewart being a prominent layman in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South; at Louisa. Colonel Ralph Stewart's widow died December 27, 1886, aged seventy-four years.
John Stewart, a brother of Colonel Ralph Stewart, married a Miss Burgess, a daughter of an old settler of that name, and one of the ancestors of the house of Burgess, of Boyd and Lawrence.

The Weeknd never spilled secrets about Selena Gomez, despite a story from exactly one year ago today. At the time, Gossip Cop corrected a claim about how Gomez was nervous the "Starboy" singer was going to dish about their past romance in an interview. A full 365 days have now passed, and it's clear the report was false then and remains so to this day.
When the story first came out, Gossip Cop reached out to a Gomez confidante, who assured us she was not remotely nervous about The Weeknd doing an interview about their relationship. We were told there was nothing scandalous to their breakup. Simply, the distance and time they spent apart led their romance to fizzle out. Also, as widely reported, The Weeknd broke up with Gomez, and so it makes no sense that he would be "on the warpath," as falsely contended by the site.
In the intervening year, RadarOnline has not gotten much better with its reporting about Gomez. In April, for example, Gossip Cop busted the blog when it inaccurately claimed Gomez and Justin Theroux were exchanging "flirty" texts after his split from Jennifer Aniston. Not only was that wholly untrue, but so too was the site's story the following month that incorrectly asserted Gomez told Bella Hadid to "dump" The Weeknd after he reunited with the model.
Gossip Cop occasionally looks back at stories from a year ago to show how they've held up over time. It's not to pat ourselves on the back. Rather, it's to help inform our readers what to look for when trying to suss out what's fact and what's fiction.

Interpretive Summary: Loss of water from the soil profile through evaporation from the soil surface causes inefficient use of water in irrigated crop production. Residue management systems may reduce this evaporative loss, but cannot be used in all cropping systems. Choice of the irrigation system and its management also can reduce evaporative loss. In particular, subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) limits soil surface wetting and can lead to an overall reduction in crop water use of as much as 10%. Under limited supplies of irrigation water, this water would be beneficially transpired by the crop, resulting in improved yields and water use efficiency. The example presented shows that most of the water savings occur early in the season when crop cover is not yet complete. Because evaporation from the soil surface has a cooling effect on the soil in the root zone, irrigation methods that limit evaporation will result in smaller fluctuations in soil temperature and warmer soil temperatures overall. For some crops such as cotton, this has beneficial effects that include earlier root growth, better plant development and larger yields. Economic pressure and limited irrigation supplies from the Ogallala aquifer are two reasons that cotton production is moving northward into the northern Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma and Kansas. The advantages of SDI may mean the difference between success and failure in these areas, where cotton is marginal due to shorter and cooler growing seasons.
Technical Abstract: Loss of water from the soil profile through evaporation from the soil surface is an important contributor to inefficiency in irrigated crop production. Residue management systems may reduce this evaporative loss, but cannot be used in all cropping systems. Choice of the irrigation system and its management also can reduce evaporative loss. In particular, subsurface drop irrigation (SDI) limits soil surface wetting and can lead to an overall reduction in evapotranspiration (crop water use) of as much as 10%. The example presented shows that most of the water savings occur early in the season when crop cover is not yet complete. When water supplies are limited so that irrigation does not meet the crop need for maximum irrigation, the savings with SDI are enough to increase yields substantially. Because evaporation from the soil surface has a cooling effect on the soil in the root zone, irrigation methods that limit evaporation will result in smaller fluctuations in soil temperature and warmer soil temperatures overall. For some crops such as cotton, this has beneficial effects that include earlier root growth, better plant development and larger yield.

We are very pleased to see that the many partners who have accompanied you in your efforts are present here to manifest their solidarity and renew their commitment in supporting the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC) in its new programmatic work. This gathering, where all heads of churches in the region came to witness and act together, is not only a sign of the rebirth of the MECC but also and especially a strong sign of hope for the Christians in the region and beyond.
Indeed, you have chosen as a theme for your assembly a hymn calling us to always "give thanks to the Lord for He is good, and His mercy endures forever" (Psalm 136: 1). In fact, the ecumenical family has a lot to learn from the Christians in this region. Despite the difficult historical moments that the whole region is going through –probably as Christians we should say, because of these tragic moments- Christians continue to keep hope alive in what seems to be for many hopeless situations. The hope you hold in your daily lives is rooted in your faith in the living God, who is good and merciful to all God's creation. Your Christian hope does not lead you into illusions because you are able to see God and praise God in the midst of trouble, and you continue to be co-workers for transformation with the Holy Spirit who is dwelling among us, and guiding our steps. Christians in this region manifest their hope by remaining steadfast and by working to change and transcend the different realities in which they live. Your common witness together during this assembly is but one sign of hope. The so many living parishes and congregations, the vibrant monastic communities, your theological faculties and universities, your hospitals, schools and humanitarian services are essential parts of your creative and continuous witness of the hope you hold in the loving God for all, offering spiritual resources to all people in the region and beyond.
During the 10th WCC assembly in 2013 in Busan, our fellowship of churches committed themselves to journey together in a pilgrimage for justice and peace. In the WCC we have dedicated this year, 2016, to focus on justice and peace in the Middle East region, so that the presence and witness of the Christians is strengthened for the good of all. We do this in close cooperation with our member churches in the region and in coordination with our privileged partner, the MECC.
We are all fully aware that the challenges facing us are immense as the region is going through an unprecedented turmoil. This requests from all of us a thorough and common reading of "the signs of the times" in light of our biblical, theological and ethical imperatives as they are relevant here and now, in our own context. The premises of what the region has witnessed, in terms of strong demands for liberation, freedom, democracy, human dignity, equal citizenship, social and economic justice, should be analysed deeply and not be dismissed or be buried under the carpet. It is not because they have been quickly undermined by the rise of religious extremisms and the perpetuation of occupation and the maintaining of the present regimes that these legitimate demands are no longer valid. As it has been stated on different occasions by the WCC governing bodies, all the peoples in the whole region deserve a third alternative that allows them to live in security and enjoy their freedom and human dignity at the same time. We believe this should be our common task in the region as well as in the global ecumenical movement.
In our discernment to seek the way of God's justice and peace in the region, we are guided by your historical experience, where you were able to manifest the love of God toward all your neighbours and toward God's whole creation. We are also guided by our faith that sees God's image and likeness in every human being, and therefore we consider the right of all people to live in dignity and freedom as a fundamental right. These same imperatives and principles call us to stand in solidarity with the needy, the oppressed and with those who are struggling for liberation from occupation.
The tasks and responsibilities ahead of us cannot be addressed individually. Having experienced myself the pain of apartheid in South Africa, I have learned to value the solidarity of the ecumenical family, without which we wouldn't have been able to liberate our societies from hatred and injustice, and walk together in the way of truth and reconciliation that will lead us to justice and peace. I am fully confident that by coming together, the churches in the region, with the faithful accompaniment of the whole ecumenical family, will find new ways of collaboration with all people of good will so that justice and peace will prevail, together with the dignity of every human being.
May our merciful God bless your assembly and your coming together, and accompany you in your pilgrimage of justice and peace.

Ronald Radd (22 January 1929 – 23 April 1976) was a British television actor. He is perhaps best remembered for originating the role of Hunter in the television thriller series Callan. In 1971, he was nominated for a Tony Award for Abelard and Heloise.

Early work
Radd began as a stage actor in the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham in the early-1950s, along with the likes of Leslie Sands and Edward Mulhare. In 1951 he appeared in a Lionel Hamilton production of The Romantic Young Lady at the Kettering Savoy.

By 1954, Radd had graduated to the West End, where he appeared with Kenneth Williams in two different productions in the Apollo Theatre in February 1956, The Buccaneer and The Boy Friend.

Television and film work
Radd gradually lost interest in theatre and broke into television in Ordeal by Fire in 1957 as a dastardly Frenchman with Peter Wyngarde and Patrick Troughton whom he appeared with in the BBC production of A Tale of Two Cities (1958).

Radd made a number of appearances in the NBC production The Shari Lewis Show between 1960 and 1963, and in 1960 appeared in the production of Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh directed by Sidney Lumet, who also directed him in the feature film adaptation of The Sea Gull (1968) and The Offence (1972). In between them he appeared in John Huston's The Kremlin Letter (1970). Radd worked alongside actors such as Robert Redford and Jason Robards. In that year, Radd also appeared in the NBC production of The Tempest playing the role of the drunkard Stefano, alongside Richard Burton who portrayed Caliban and Maurice Evans as Prospero.  Radd had at least one guest appearance on Episode 2 of the TV series The Saint, which starred a young Roger Moore.  The episode first aired Sept 26, 1963.

Radd featured in some 60 different TV shows between 1955 and 1976 including The Avengers, Danger Man, The Prisoner, Special Branch and Z-Cars. He memorably played "Hunter" in the one-off television play in ITV's "Armchair Theatre" strand, called A Magnum For Schneider.  To protect his shady Government department ("The Section"), Hunter brings once-top operative and assassin David Callan (Edward Woodward) back to kill Schneider, an international illegal arms dealer.  Hunter's plan is for Callan to be caught at the scene and take the blame, thus getting the job done yet clearing The Section of involvement. But Callan gets wise when first police, then colleague Toby Meres turn up at Schneider's apartment. Callan turns the tables by leaving Meres unconscious in his place. This led to the creation of the highly regarded spy series Callan with highly charged, antagonistic exchanges between Callan and Hunter among episode highlights.  Radd appeared occasionally in later series of Callan.

In the sixth episode of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), "Just for the Record" in 1969, he played the role of the villain Pargiter, a deluded character intent on proving he was heir to the throne of England.

In 1971, Radd's performance in Abelard and Heloise, earned him a nomination for Broadway's Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play.

Death
He died in Toronto, Ontario, Canada of a brain haemorrhage in 1976 aged 47.

Named for long-time coach, athletic director and alumnus Ryland Milner, the Complex contains two gymnasiums, tennis courts and Bearcat Stadium, all located on the southwest side of campus.
Uel W. Lamkin Activity Center, named for the University's fifth president, was first opened in 1959. During the 1993-1994 academic year, the facility was the recipient of a $6 million renovation and enlargement. Included was the total renovation of the existing structure and the construction of north and south additions. The north expansion, called the Northwest Student Recreation Center, houses a suspended jogging track, three basketball courts and five racquetball/handball courts. Included in the south addition is the Fitness Center on the lower level, a lobby on the main level, and offices and meeting rooms for coaches on the top level. The area where basketball and volleyball competition is held has been named the Bearcat Arena. The Arena wood floor was replaced in 2011. Also housed in the Activity Center are classrooms and ticket and concession areas on the main level. The lower level has weight-lifting, dressing rooms and athletic training facilities.
Martindale Hall, opened in 1926, was the original University gymnasium. Remodeled and renovated in 1973-1975, Martindale honors Nell Martindale Kuchs, a faculty member and early leader in women's athletics. Martindale has a regulation-sized basketball court, replaced in 2011, which can be split for two separate activities such as gymnastics, dance and volleyball. The building also contains classrooms, physical education faculty offices, a dance studio and women's dressing rooms.
Bearcat Stadium is a playing field with permanent seating accommodating 6,200 spectators and stadium capacity of 7,500. The field is surrounded by the Herschel Neil Track, a resilient all-weather track named after the 1930s Northwest student who held numerous NCAA records. During calendar year 2000, the east grandstand and southeast ticket houses were completely renovated to enhance customer services. In 2002-2003, the west grandstand and pressbox were replaced by an enlarged facility featuring chairback, railback and traditional seats, 10 suites, and an upper media/coaching area and filming tower. A new scoreboard was also added with video replay capabilities. The stadium was renamed in 2004 from Rickenbrode to Bearcat Stadium to honor the Northwest family members who helped to fund the replacement structures and additional facilities. In 2007 the natural turf field was replaced by artificial turf and officially named Tjeerdsma Field to honor the success of Melvin L. Tjeerdsma, the former head football coach. Lights were also added to allow for night use.
Athletic Grounds Support Building, constructed in 2006-2007, is located west of the Ron Houston Center for the Performing Arts. It houses athletic field equipment, paint supplies, lawn equipment, and employee support functions.
The Frank W. Grube Tennis Courts, completed in 1981, are named after the long-time Department of English chairperson and first varsity tennis coach of the University.
Bearcat Field is the home of the Bearcat baseball team and is located on the west campus, and has a grass infield, a scoreboard and press box facility.
A Softball Field was constructed in 1996 near Phillips Hall on the west side of campus. Home to the Bearcat softball team, the dirt infield is made from aqualime, a textured soil that allows moisture to go through to the ground.

Massachusetts Attorney General joins fight against new Title IX regulations
By Diti Kohli, Print Designer| June 6, 2020
Photo: The Berkeley Beacon Archives
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy joined a group of state attorneys Thursday in suing the U.S. Department of Education over proposed Title IX regulations.
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy joined 17 other state attorneys to sue the U.S. Department of Education Thursday over new federal Title IX regulations she says unfairly weaken protections for those who report sexual misconduct at colleges, including Emerson.
In the complaint, Healy asked the court to postpone when the regulations go into effect. If the court rules against her action, all institutions must comply with the department regulations by Aug. 14 to receive federal funding.
The sweeping federal changes would overhaul how sexual misconduct cases are investigated at schools and universities. The department's proposal, championed by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, would narrow the definition of harassment, require colleges to enforce more rigorous standards of proof, allow live hearings for Title IX cases, and exempt institutions from investigating off-campus incidents.
"If the Rule is permitted to take effect, students across the country will return to school in the fall with less protection from sexual harassment," the complaint reads. "The Rule will reverse decades of effort to end the corrosive effects of sexual harassment on equal access to education."
The attorneys allege that the new rules exclude a breadth of discriminatory conduct from Title IX's reach and could discourage students from reporting incidents of harassment and assault.
Healy also takes issue with the timeline to implement the department's policies. She said pushing institutions to amend Title IX regulations in mere months could distract them from important discussions about reopening and remote learning in the era of COVID-19.
President M. Lee Pelton recently approved the formation of a steering committee that will amend Emerson's policies to comply by the impending deadline. A statement released by the college last month said putting the new regulations in place so quickly "would be a tremendous challenge."
If DeVos' proposed federal changes are enacted in August, they will be implemented well before Emerson finishes reviewing its own sexual misconduct policies, a process that has been underway for more than a year. The college's Title IX working group is currently in the midst of reviewing its draft of recommendations to account for comments from the community and the new federal guidelines.
In their first draft released May 1, the working group suggested the college create a standing Title IX committee, move the Title IX office out of the Social Justice Center, and more. Multiple student activists have since denounced the working group for operating under the guise of change while doing little to tangibly address the issues that plague the college.
The Department of Education released the new set of Title IX regulations on May 6 after a three-year-long process of reshaping established Obama-era guidelines. The previous administration vehemently discouraged live hearings — a key shift in DeVos' proposed regulations.
"Survivors of sexual assault and harrasment deserve to have their voices heard and to be protected at our educational institutions," Healy said in a statement. "We will not stand by as Betsy DeVos abandons students who seek a safe learning environment free from violence and discrimination."

Touch: The Series
September 28, 2015 by Dr. Randi Fredricks, Ph.D.
Kiefer Sutherland stars in this smart and hopeful drama about the ties that bind all of us together. Single father Martin Bohm (Sutherland) struggles to raise his emotionally challenged son Jake. But Martin soon discovers that Jake possesses an amazing gift: the ability to see the hidden patterns of numbers that connect every life on the planet.
With the help of a brilliant professor (Danny Glover), Martin learns to communicate with Jake and help people around the world. Blending science and spirituality, this unique series will touch you in ways you never thought possible.
The theme of Touch is that we are all connected in inexplicable ways. A man in Ireland takes a cell phone video of co-worker Kayla Graham performing in a local club. He tells Kayla she's going to end up a superstar, and then he slips the cell phone into a random backpack. By the end of the episode, that cell phone video is projected on a massive Times Square-style screen in Tokyo – superstardom, indeed.
This is just a small example of the often miraculous interconnections revealed in this episode. Jake is obsessed with numbers on busses, lottery tickets, cell phones, newspapers, and calendars, using them as road maps to people and events that can be life-changing. One such chain of numbers connects the firefighter who tried to save Martin's wife back on 9/11 with a winning lottery ticket and a bus filled with school children. These are global connections that are overwhelming in scope.
It's also a show with a lot of heart – there's one particular sequence where a grieving father experiences unexpected grace in a very unexpected way. This is an emotionally gripping show that knows the difference between sentiment and sentimentality.
Character to watch: Kiefer Sutherland as Martin Bohm.

Q: Sort matrix based on its diagonal entries First of all I would like to point out that my question is different than this one: Sort a numpy matrix based on its diagonal
The question is as follow:
Suppose I have a numpy matrix
A=

5 7 8

7 2 9

8 9 3

I would like to sort the matrix based on its diagonal and then re-arrange the matrix element based on it. Such that now
sorted_A:

2 9 7

9 3 8

7 8 5

Note that:
(1). The diagonal is sorted
(2). The other elements (non-diagonal) re-adjusted by it. How?
because diag(A)= [5,2,3] & diag(sorted_A)=[2,3,5]
so row/column indices A=[0,1,2] become [1,2,0] in sorted_A.
So far I use brute force where I extract the diagonal elements, get the indices O(N²) and then re-arrange the matrix (another O(N²)). I wonder if there is any efficient/elegant way to do this. I appreciate all the help I can get.

A: Sorting the rows based on the diagonal values is easy:
In [192]: A=np.array([[5,7,8],[7,2,9],[8,9,3]])
In [193]: A
Out[193]:
array([[5, 7, 8],
       [7, 2, 9],
       [8, 9, 3]])
In [194]: np.diag(A)
Out[194]: array([5, 2, 3])
In [195]: idx=np.argsort(np.diag(A))
In [196]: idx
Out[196]: array([1, 2, 0], dtype=int32)
In [197]: A[idx,:]
Out[197]:
array([[7, 2, 9],
       [8, 9, 3],
       [5, 7, 8]])

Rearranging the elements in each row to the original diagonals are back on the diagonal will take some experimenting - trial and error.  We probably have to 'roll' each row based on some value related to the sorting idx.  I don't recall if there is a function to roll each row separately or if we have to iterate over the rows to do that.
In [218]: A1=A[idx,:]
In [219]: [np.roll(a,-i) for a,i in zip(A1,[1,1,1])]
Out[219]: [array([2, 9, 7]), array([9, 3, 8]), array([7, 8, 5])]
In [220]: np.array([np.roll(a,-i) for a,i in zip(A1,[1,1,1])])
Out[220]:
array([[2, 9, 7],
       [9, 3, 8],
       [7, 8, 5]])

So roll with [1,1,1] does the job. But off hand I don't see how that can be derived.  I suspect we need to generate several more test cases, possibly larger ones, and look for a pattern.
That roll probably has something to do with how much the row has moved, the difference between the original position and the new one.  Let's try:
np.arange(3)-idx

In [222]: np.array([np.roll(a,i) for a,i in zip(A1,np.arange(3)-idx)])
Out[222]:
array([[2, 9, 7],
       [9, 3, 8],
       [7, 8, 5]])

Applying the sorting idx to both rows and columns seems to do the trick as well:
In [227]: A[idx,:][:,idx]
Out[227]:
array([[2, 9, 7],
       [9, 3, 8],
       [7, 8, 5]])

In [229]: A[idx[:,None],idx]
Out[229]:
array([[2, 9, 7],
       [9, 3, 8],
       [7, 8, 5]])

A: Here I simplify a straightforward solution that has been stated before but is hard to get your heads around.
This is useful if you want to sort a table (e.g. confusion matrix by its diagonal magnitude and arrange rows and columns accordingly.
>>> A=np.array([[5,1,4],[7,2,9],[8,0,3]])
>>> A
array([[5, 1, 4],
   [7, 2, 9],
   [8, 0, 3]])
>>> diag = np.diag(A)
>>> diag
array([5, 2, 3])
>>> idx=np.argsort(diag) # get the order of items that are in diagon
>>> A[idx,:][:,idx]  # reorder rows and arrows based on the order of items on diagon
array([[2, 9, 7],
   [0, 3, 8],
   [1, 4, 5]])

if you want to sort in descending order just add idx = idx[::-1] # reverse order
