Virginia () is a town in County Cavan, Ireland. Founded in the 17th century as a plantation town, it now holds both local industry and commuter housing.

History

Foundation
Virginia was founded in the early 17th century, at Aghanure (), during the Plantation of Ulster and was named Virginia after Queen Elizabeth I of England, the "Virgin Queen."

The settlement was started when an English adventurer named John Ridgeway was granted the Crown patent in August 1612 to build a new town, situated upon the Great Road, approximately midway between the towns of Kells and Cavan. The chosen site was, according to tradition, where a ruined Ó Raghallaigh (O'Reilly) castle stood, and was then described as Aghaler, a location once set within the ancient Lurgan parish townland of Ballaghanea. The patented conditions of the settlement were to introduce English settlers to the area and build the town to incorporate borough status. Ridgeway had difficulty in attracting sufficient English tradespeople and settler families into what was then regarded as a hostile territory outside of the protection of the Pale, so he only managed to build a few wooden cabins and a corn mill near to the castle. His new town was situated close to the shores of Lough Ramor.

Ridgeway passed the patent on to another Englishman, Captain Hugh Culme, who already possessed lands beside Lough Oughter in County Cavan and had access to building timber. Culme persuaded the Plantation Commission to move the location of Virginia to its present site close to the Blackwater tributary river, whereupon he built a number of cabins for the settlers but still failed to meet the Commission's time frame for developing the town further before giving up on the task, probably for the same reasons as his predecessor.

The Plunketts
During November 1622, the Virginia estate came into the possession of the 10th Baron Killeen (who was created the 1st Earl of Fingall in 1628), who also held extensive lands around County Meath. Lord Killeen, who was a Catholic Anglo-Irish peer of Norman descent, whose family had come to Ireland in the twelfth century, undertook to complete the patented project. Complaints from the Virginia inhabitants about the lack of development progress reached the Commission by 1638 whereupon Christopher Plunkett, 2nd Earl of Fingall (who had succeeded his father in the earldom in 1637) was ordered to submit a substantial bond with the Commission's court, and to build the church in Virginia or face forfeiture of his County Cavan lands. The Anglican Bishop of Kilmore, William Bedell, undertook to lay out the town in accordance with the Commission's requirement. However, events which led to the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and Irish Confederate Wars enveloped Virginia causing widespread destruction and depopulation. The summer of 1642 saw the outright destruction by government forces of the castle along with the burning of stocks of hay, corn and turf in a bid to punish the outlawed Lord Fingall for his role in the Siege of Drogheda (1641).

What remained of Virginia after the wars can be assessed through hearth tax records from the 1660s, indicating a small resident community. During the following century estate surveys were undertaken for the absentee landlord (exiled since the Williamite wars of 1688-91) which tell of a wayside Inn that existed since the earliest times (exact location unknown), operated then in 1727 by a Cornelius Donnellan and was frequented around that time by Jonathan Swift during his several excursions to Co. Cavan.

The Taylours
The Virginia estate was eventually sold around the year 1750, on behalf of the Plunketts, to pay off mounting debts, with a new landlord family, the Taylors (later spelt as Taylour), taking over.  Virginia and its surrounding estate were particularly developed by Thomas Taylor (1724-1795), who built up the town and succeeded where others had failed. Taylor (who changed the spelling of the family surname to Taylour) succeeded his father in the baronetcy in 1757. The then Sir Thomas Taylour, 3rd Bt., was created 1st Baron Headfort in 1760, and 1st Viscount Headfort in 1762. Lord Headfort was further advanced in the peerage to become The 1st Earl of Bective in 1766. It is recorded that Lord Bective's great-grandfather, also a Thomas Taylor, was a cartographer who assisted Sir William Petty with the Down Survey during the previous century.

The Taylor (later Taylour) family had built a substantial mansion, Headfort House (now a school), beside Kells in the north of County Meath. The family (who were granted the title Marquis of Headfort in 1800) now turned their attention to making the unproductive lands around Virginia into profitable farms through land drainage and afforestation of low-lying areas, also resulting in increases in rent paid by the farm tenants. While this in itself was not unique among Irish landlords, an acre of land at twenty old pennies (20>240) became fifteen shillings (180>240) per acre before the end of the century with a premium paid by flax growers. The results of which brought employment and management to the Headfort estates and quickly led to the setting up of markets and fairs in Virginia where local produce including flax yarn and linen was traded on the streets. Virginia's population doubled between the census years of 1821 to 1841, and there was rapid construction in the town, leading to the Main Street as it is seen today. Successive Marquesses of Headfort created their own private demesne and a hunting lodge (now Park Hotel) overlooking Lough Ramor.

Famine and emigration
The Great Hunger, caused by successive failures in the potato crop and the export of other food sources by the indifferent English colonialists, brought with it extreme hardship for the poorer classes, with death due to diseases like typhus and cholera, prevalent due to poor sanitation, contaminated drinking water and other poor living conditions. Starvation, which impacted many parts of the country, was averted in Virginia due to the efforts of the local Famine Relief Committee, who made extra rations of Indian meal available in return for hard labour, this included women and children breaking stones for making roads and the building of the local Catholic church which took place during 1845 on lands donated by the landlord.

In subsequent years Virginia prospered with the introduction of a butter market in 1856, followed by the opening of the Great Northern Railway (GNR) line between Kells and Oldcastle in March 1863. Cattle and livestock could then be moved for export, however, this also meant that products such as coal and beer could be transported from the larger towns into rural areas which led to the closure of the local malt brewery and several bakeries in the town.

Perhaps the most famous Virginia emigrant was General Philip H. Sheridan (1831-1888), whose parents came from nearby Killinkere, left Ireland around 1830 and settled in America. Sheridan achieved success, and notoriety, through a military career, particularly during the American Civil War. President Lincoln stated, "this Sheridan is a little Irishman, but a big fighter", he eventually became commanding General of the US Army and had many honours bestowed upon him.

The closure of the Virginia Roads railway station, and GNR line, in 1958, came about as Ireland's population fell to its lowest levels - the 1951 census lists Virginia with a population of just 297 persons.

Modern development
In 2007 the local Development Association submitted a proposal to have a new Regional Hospital built near Virginia, on a site owned by Cavan County Council. Although widely supported by the community and the region's political representatives, the bid was abandoned with a government announcement that there was not a 'red penny' available for such a project. Road transport links to Virginia have seen some improvement since the opening in 2010 of the M3 motorway linking Virginia to Dublin. This has led to a continued rise in local developments, with many new houses and commercial businesses being built.

Geography

The town is situated close to Lough Ramor, one of the larger lakes in County Cavan, stretching approximately 7 km in length by 1 km at the narrowest point, and feeding into the Blackwater and Boyne river systems.

Transport
Virginia is on the N3 route approximately 85 km northwest of Dublin, and was once a staging and rest point for the coaches plying between Enniskillen and Dublin. Virginia is connected to Dublin by an hourly bus service from Cavan town Bus Éireann. The M3 motorway was completed in 2010 and links the North-West of Dublin to the nearby town of Kells, 20 km from Virginia. This has cut journey times to Dublin considerably and has made the town more favourable for commuters.

A 12.5 km long bypass for the town of type 2 dual carriageway, intended to reduce congestion going through the town centre was planned but suspended in the late 2000s. In February 2018, the project was placed as a key project in the National Development Plan, part of 'Project Ireland 2040'.

Economy
Sometimes regarded these days as a commuter town with its proximity to larger trading towns east and west, the local industry consists mainly of farming and milk processing at the local Tirlán factory (formerly Virginia Milk Products), which produces skim milk powder and cream for the world-renowned brand Baileys Irish Cream liqueur. Other local manufacturers include the Fleetwood brand of paint products.

Virginia won the Tidy Towns Competition in 1964 and 1965.

Culture
The Ramor Theatre opened in 1999, and is funded by Cavan County Council and the Arts Council. It is the only professional performance space in the county. The theatre is a member of the NOMAD network of venues, and home to the Livin' Dred Theatre Company. The theatre also engages in community-based and amateur work through Ramor Players who present a number of shows each year.

Virginia has been home to the annual Virginia Agricultural Show for over seventy years and hosted Ireland's only pumpkin festival in 2007. The Virginia Pumpkin Festival takes place every October bank holiday weekend at Halloween. It took a break in 2017.

Demographics
The town population was 2,648, as of the 2016 census. The ethnic makeup (of those stated) was 81% White Irish, 12% Other White, 2% Black/Black Irish, 2% Asian/Asian Irish and 2% Other.

Education
A large primary school in the town is St Mary's NS, located next to St Mary's Roman Catholic Church. The school's population is over 400 pupils. The primary school received an extension in 2014.

Virginia College, Cavan, formerly Virginia Vocational School, is the only secondary school in Virginia. Situated beside Lough Ramor, it is a mixed school educating approximately 740 pupils. With three extensions built over the years (most recent in 2012), the school now has three ICT suites and a language lab. The Virginia school celebrated its 50th anniversary in September 2012, this was later followed by a visit to the school by the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins.

Common surnames
The most common Virginia surnames to appear during the census of 1901/1911 were: Kellett, Fitzsimons, Sheridan, Smith, Reilly, Carroll, O'Reilly, Lynch, Brady, Reynolds, Duffy, Hopkins, Soden, McNamee, Preston, McEnroe, Skelly.

In a bid to beat the bulge, The Journal and Real Radio launched its Fit Factor competition earlier this year to help six people change their lives for good.
Hundreds from the North East applied to make the final team, but only half a dozen could be chosen to embark on the challenging 12-week fitness regime.
At the end of Fit Factor in May, the participants together had lost more than 22 stone and are continuing with their weight-loss journey.
Yet for some who narrowly missed out being in the team, they remained fully committed to shedding the weight and decided to seek the help of Fit Factor trainer David Fairlamb nonetheless.
It was a major turning point for Keith Ellison, Gary Scott and Barry Penaluna, who have collectively lost 16st 6lbs this year.
David Fairlamb said: "All three prove that with the right attitude, dedication and a specific goal, lives can be turned around very quickly.
"After missing out on the final six of the Fit Factor, although hundreds entered, they are the stand out few who kept their dream alive and did it themselves.
"I have seen all three on a regular basis at Beach Bootcamp, and their fitness is incredible.
I am very proud of what they have achieved and so should they be.
Here, we take a look at the stories of the three men who decided to take on their own weight-loss challenge and are now reaping the health benefits.
Keith Ellison initially applied to become a contestant for the Fit Factor as his weight had ballooned to 20st 4lbs and he was fast approaching the age of 40.
The father-of-one was determined to shed the pounds as he had been asked by his sister to walk her down the aisle due to their father having had a stroke and now being housebound.
After being short-listed for The Journal and Real Radio's Fit Factor competition, the tyre fitter was left disappointed not to make the final six.
Keith, 39, of Consett, County Durham, said: "After been short-listed and interviewed, it was a hammer blow to find out I hadn't been selected.
"For the next three days I got really down about things. I wanted to be part of the Fit Factor team as I had set my mind to it.
"On the following Monday, I had a hospital appointment regarding a few dizzy spells I'd been getting and I had some tests done, including tests on my heart.
"Everything came back clear, but the consultant basically told me I had the body of someone in their 50s and if I didn't change my life now, I'd most likely contract diabetes and heart disease inside six years.
Keith has been attending David Fairlamb's Beach Bootcamp and it has completely changed his life as he has lost 5st 3lbs.
In just six months he has slimmed down to 15st 10lb, dropping from a clothes size XXXL to large.
His wife Stephanie, 35, who works at Seven Stories in Newcastle, and their young daughter, Sophie, 12, have also lost a stone each in weight as the family has increased its exercise levels and cut out takeaways and chocolate.
Keith said: "I turned a negative of not getting into the Fit Factor into a positive, and it has totally turned my life around.
"I'm sleeping a lot better and mentally I'm in a lot better place. The bottom line is if I can achieve what I have in such a short period of time anyone can.
Father-of-one Gary Scott's weight was reaching a dangerous level and it was affecting his health and wellbeing.
The chef's bad eating habits had pushed his weight up to 20st 7lbs and he decided it was time to change his life for the good of his family.
The 39-year-old had heard adverts on the radio for the Fit Factor and decided to apply, with the full backing of his partner Despina Constantinou, 44, a school worker, and his daughter, Maggie, 16.
He also "had a little joke of not being fat and 40" which is still his aim, as he reaches that milestone at the end of this year.
Gary, of Fenham, Newcastle, said: "I didn't even think I would get a call for the Fit Factor never mind an interview - I was ecstatic that I received the call.
"I didn't get picked, but David Fairlamb had invited me to come along to the Saturday Beach Bootcamp on Tynemouth Longsands.
"I felt upset for a couple of days that I wasn't chosen, but I thought to myself 'I have to snap out of this and do something really positive about my weight'.
"I went along to the first bootcamp, which I enjoyed greatly. It was well run and the people there were very friendly and welcoming, introducing themselves to me and encouraging me along.
"I also met the chosen Fit Factor six, who were all lovely people. Over the weeks they inspired me to carry on and to never give up.
A month into Gary's exercise regime, first Fit Factor winner, Ian Gibson, who has lost an incredible 12 stones, gave him the diet that he was on.
Gary has lost a huge 5st 2lbs as is now 15st 5lbs, dropping from a clothes size XXL to large.
He added: "Ian did last year's Fit factor and lost a whopping 12 stones which inspired me even more. The diet has proved to be the winner in my eyes.
"I don't feel as hungry as I once did, my body feels good and I don't feel bloated all the time. I really feel the food is the key to me losing weight which is enhanced by the exercise too.
"It is giving me much more energy to carry on in my daily routines, which in turn, helps me to workout better. I am feeling so much better within myself.
"I move and walk with ease that I've never felt in such a long time and I've been told my snoring has stopped.
Gary is doing bootcamps each week and is going to the gym. He even managed to complete this year's Bupa Great North 10k Gateshead in 1hr 9mins.
Barry Penaluna and his fiancée Helen Drinkall won a mammoth weight-loss bet when bookies paid out £5,000 after they lost more than 10 stone between them.
Barry staked £50 at 100-1 that he and Helen could lose a massive 10 stone in six months.
And after going on a 'caveman' diet, they landed the bet to win £5,000 after dropping from a whopping 40st 12lbs to a more manageable 30st 6lbs.
Bookmakers William Hill take about a 100 bets a year on weight loss, but no other pair have lost more than 10 stone with their diet bets before.
The couple, from Killingworth, North Tyneside, decided to lose the weight ahead of their wedding after civil servant Barry popped the question to Helen last December.
They joined thousands of others across the region to get fit after The Journal launched its Great North Fitness Revolution.
And Barry, who couldn't run around the block before he started, ended up running the Great North 10k – a race our readers were encouraged to take part in.
Strapping 6ft tall Barry, 32, who weighed 23st 3lbs when he placed the bet and now tips the scales at 17st 2lbs, said: "I had tried diets and exercise in the past to lose weight, but it had never worked and at one point ahead of placing the bet I was up to 25 stone.
"Then I read a story about a man who won a bet with William Hill after losing a few stone and decided that we could do it and the £5,000 would be a great incentive and could go towards our wedding and a holiday.
"I knew it was a big challenge, but with healthy eating and starting to take exercise, I knew we could do it. We went on the Caveman diet and cut out carbs and alcohol.
"I've just done the Great North 10k and a year ago I couldn't even run round the block. I go out running with my younger brother Jamie and he keeps telling me there is more in your legs, so I don't give up. I do a boot camp at the weekends and a cardio vascular work out session can see me burning 1,200 calories per hour.
"I've not had an alcoholic drink for four months and before this I'd have about 10 pints on a night out and a couple of bottles of white wine.
"I've got a season ticket at St James' Park and after the match I go for a Diet Coke now, but the lads all know about the weight loss and there's been no peer pressure to have a drink at all.
Helen, 29, a fellow civil servant, who went from 17st 9lbs to 13st 4lbs, said: "I checked with the doctor that we were okay to take on the bet and we have changed our whole way of life with more exercise and healthy eating.
"Barry is the chef and he's put us both on the paleo diet – or Caveman diet – where we don't eat carbs and have increased our exercise.
"We've grown together, but we now have two daughters Chloe, three, and 10-month-old Sophie and we don't want to be big unfit parents unable to play with our children.
"We got engaged before Christmas and then we struck the bet to get extra incentive for our wedding – I wasn't going to get married being overweight.
The couple, whose children are Chloe, three, and Sophie, 10 months, are determined to continue with their weight loss.
Rupert Adams, for William Hill said: "This is a record-breaking first for William Hill as we've never had any couple land such a heavy-weight punt at 100-1 on their weight loss. When Helen called to say they had succeeded we were flabbergasted.
All have amazing weight loss has happened for Barry despite the fact he failed to make the final Fit Factor team despite getting so close.
Barry said: "I had lost weight before, but I had never sustained it and I wanted to make sure that this time, the weight stayed off.
"When the Fit Factor applications came about, I knew that would offer a huge help to my goals if I got in the team.
"It was a little bit disappointed not to make Fit Factor, but after not getting through, I decided to target those 12 weeks myself regardless and give 100%"
"The diet and training has been spot on," explained Barry. "I've got myself into a really good routine.
"For my training, I decided to do it similar to Fit Factor to target at least three high-intensity workouts each week. These have come from bootcamps and kettlebell sessions.
On top of this, I'm also cycling and trying to fit in a game of squash when I can."

Robert Lewis McGhee, Jr.
Park Ranger Robert McGhee was shot and killed in the Gulf Islands National Seashore Park, Mississippi, by two convicts who had escaped from a Florida correctional facility. The convicts were able to steal a .38 caliber revolver from one of the corrections officers during the escape.
A female hostage the two had taken was able to escape and notified police of their location, causing the suspects to flee into the park. Ranger McGhee stopped the suspects when they ran a stop sign, not knowing that they were wanted. During the stop the suspects opened fire, killing Ranger McGhee.
The suspects were apprehended after a shootout with another police officer in which one of the suspects was wounded. They were found guilty of murder of a federal police officer and sentenced to life in prison.
One of the suspects, John Woolard, later escaped from Parchman Prison in 2000 with yet another prisoner. He was recaptured, after an extensive manhunt, in Lowell, Indiana.
Ranger McGhee was survived by his wife, Linda, and their daughter Karla, and Kevin McGhee.

Bethesda has released a new trailer and confirmed the release date of the upcoming Fallout 76 beta. As we previously heard, it'll come to Xbox One before other platforms, but now we know exactly when–the beta begins for Xbox One on October 23 and on October 30 for PlayStation 4 and PC.
In an FAQ for the beta, Bethesda stressed that its purpose is to "stress test and break the game," which means that servers will be "online during targeted timeframes so we can get as many people as possible playing at the same time." Although specific times have not yet been confirmed, the company said the play sessions could last anywhere between four and eight hours. Overall, the beta will go on until a few days before launch.
To play the beta on PS4 and Xbox One you'll need a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold membership. Since Fallout 76 is an online title, the final game will also require these subscriptions. The only way to get access to the beta is to pre-order the game at participating retailers or directly from Bethesda.
Fallout 76 launches in full on November 14 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. On PC, the game will only be available through Bethesda's own launcher, not Steam. On September 26 Sony announced cross-play functionality is being introduce for certain third-party titles, including Fortnite. However, Fallout 76 is not included among these titles yet.
Bethesda has also released the opening video from Fallout 76, which you can watch here or above.

Here Are Some Tips & Techniques for Cutting a Compelling Video Montage
Credit: Dollar Photo Club
By Rob Hardy
Video montages set to music are ubiquitous. From people's vacation videos to personal/corporate reels and broadcast highlight packages, music montages dominate a sizable portion of online video content. One of the primary practices in this type of editing has always been to cut with the beat of the underlying music. Unfortunately, cutting a good montage, where the editing flows from shot to shot without distracting the viewer in any way, requires quite a bit more than simply aligning cuts to the beat.
Here's Larry Jordan, a dude who needs no introduction, to explain and demonstrate some tips for building a great music montage.:
Even though a musical montage of sea creatures interacting isn't wildly exciting, there are some extremely valuable tips in Jordan's video. First and foremost, when you create a predictable rhythm with your edits by making each clip the exact same length, viewers will begin to anticipate cuts, which inherently distracts them from the content of the video. Of course, cutting with the rhythm of the song still makes the cuts feel more natural, but it's important to vary shot length to keep the viewers on their toes. Instead of cutting every two seconds exactly (or at the beginning of each bar of the song), play with cutting to the secondary beats of the music.
Another excellent tip from Jordan is to pay attention to the actions and movement within your shots. Oftentimes, a dynamic movement within the frame, when synced with the music, can have a tremendous impact on the feel of the piece, and it can make the edit feel more polished and professional. Lastly, even though your shots might seem disparate and lacking in story (as was the case with Jordan's sea creature footage), there is almost always a way to string them together to create a narrative of some kind. That's not to say that every video needs a definitive narrative -- especially if it's all landscapes or something like that -- but putting thought into the relationship between various shots can help to engage the audience in ways that strung-together shots with no commonalities simply can't.

See how the montage switches between the proud military officer and the peacock, backwards and forwards to link the two together.
An even batter example is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWiDciPuSW4
Where the slaughter of a crowdis montaged with the slaughtering of a cow. If that looks familiar then you have watched Apocalypse Now. Eisenstein said that talkies were the ruin of cinema (in the same way that Tarrantino talks about digital) and you can see how the ability to say something rather than show it leads to this old school montage falling out of favour.

DD Charity Update - March 2022
By Vikki
Spring has well and truly sprung, and as the days get longer and the weather continues to get brighter, there's even more opportunity for people to get out and enjoy the benefits of nature.
For the month of March we have been working with Kinda Education and Mayflower Primary Bushcraft School – two organizations that work with people in need, both young and old, to make the most of the healing qualities of the wilderness.
Read on below to find out more about how Kinda Education and Mayflower Primary Bushcraft School help those in need.
Kinda Forest School
Working out of 5 acres of woodland in England, Kinda Forest School is a part of Kinda Education CIC, a group that promotes equality and kindness by deepening re-connection to nature.

Mayflower Primary Bushcraft School
A part of The Mayflower Primary School, the Mayflower Bushcraft School provide outdoor sessions for young students, focusing on sensory work, outdoor activities and personal development & learning.
Painting, whittling, handling outdoor equipment as well as life skills such as supervised campfire cookery and mindful relaxation are an integral part of Mayflower Primary Bushcraft School. However, traditional educational activities such as literacy and group cooperation are always present during sessions, as Glen Brunsden (LPSA) explains:
"This week we have gone further than just World Book Day, we have celebrated World Book Week.
All classes were paired and joined myself and my Forest School colleague Sally Smith for a special outdoor book related session. Firstly, the classes were grouped together and set about building a den. Each den area was named after a famous author, we had Rowling, Zeuss, Rosen, Donaldson, Dahl and Walliams.
Once the dens were built the older children read to the younger children. This was a lovely experience with some lovely examples of the older children leading by example. Some of the more confident younger children also decided to read to their groups.
After the dens, we lit a campfire and everyone toasted a bagel, and we all read a story together.
Everyone throughout the school really enjoyed the experience, it was made possible by the generosity of DD Hammocks who kindly donated some hammocks, tarpaulin and paracord.
It has certainly been a week to remember!"
We're very pleased to hear that Mr Brunsden and the young members of the Mayflower Primary Forest School have been enjoying their DD hammocks and tarps, and we hope that the gear will continue to support them in outdoor lessons for years to come!
If you would like to hear more about The Mayflower School and it's outdoor learning philosophy, you can read more on their Website.
As we continue into the longer days of spring and beyond, we would like to continue to support even more charities, groups and organizations with donations of our hammocks and tarps!
If you know of a charity, group or cause with a focus on the outdoors and a passion for helping those less fortunate get out into nature that would benefit from some free outdoor equipment plus a spot on the DD Charity Blog to showcase their work, we would love to hear from you!
Help us support even more people, and get involved by getting in touch with us via our DD Charity contact form.

We had another rocket science moment in Congress recently - there should be as little surprise about that as there was about another school shooting, right?
Republican Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama tutored a scientist from the Woods Hole Research Center (WHRC) about rising oceans.
The gentleman from Alabama wanted to know, at a meeting of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology (which, under the current state of things, is kind of a science denying committee), if there were things other than climate change, which is melting ice, causing the oceans to rise.
What about erosion! Every single year that we're on Earth, you have huge tons of silt deposited by the Mississippi River, by the Amazon river, by the Nile, by every major river system - and for that matter, creek, all the way down to the smallest systems. And every time you have that soil or rock whatever it is that is deposited into the seas, that forces the sea levels to rise. Because now you've got less space in those oceans because the bottom is moving up.
What about the White Cliffs of Dover? California, where you have the waves crashing against the shorelines and time and time again you have the cliffs crashing into the sea. All of that displaces the water which causes it to rise, correct?
Um, well, from a scientific perspective, that's ridiculous. Philip Duffy, president of WHRC, noted.
I'm pretty sure that on human time scales, those are minuscule effects.
In fact, according to folks who did the math using long-accepted theories on measuring the displacement of water, it would require the top five inches of the 9.1 million squares miles of the US land mass - about 6.6 quadrillion pounds worth - to be dropped into the ocean to create the same change in all of the world's oceans as we currently see.
Not just one time dropping that 6.6Q pounds of dirt, and rocks, and and asphalt, of plastic bags and Styrofoam cups and disposable diapers and cat litter and manure and tires and cans and bottles and whatever else we have in the first five inches of the earth -- all of that, every year - to equal what we're seeing in ocean level rise. All of that and more, actually, since the level of ocean rise is increasing each year.
It would have been comical if it had come from a middle school science fair, but it didn't. It came from a guy on a committee making decisions for the most powerful country on earth about the future of the planet.
In his response, Brooks used additional logic about increasing ice in one part of the earth but not mentioning decreasing ice somewhere else, logic that one person described along the lines of figuring out how much money you have in the bank by only counting deposits and not withdrawals.
About that particular bit of logic Politifacts waves a 'mostly false' flag.
Happy (Look at ME!) Memorial Day!


LA Times on "Marijuana's New High Life"
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has spoken out about decreasing penalties for possession and protecting medical marijuana users. Earlier this year, Glenn Beck of Fox News announced on the air: "Look, I'm a libertarian. You want to legalize marijuana; you want to legalize drugs -- that's fine."
David Bienenstock, senior editor of New York-based marijuana magazine High Times and author of "The Official High Times Pot Smoker's Handbook," said: "Whether you're with the press or a politician, it's no longer a third rail. In the past it could have cost you your job. Now people are at least able to have those conversations."
Some people point to the Obama administration as the biggest game-changer. "It was when [former President George W. Bush] and his boys were run out of office, that made the biggest difference," Chong said by phone near the end of the "Light Up America and Canada Tour" that reunited him with Cheech Marin.
[THC Expo co-founder Brian] Roberts cited the election as the tipping point as well. "The whole show teetered on who won the election," he said. "If McCain had won, I'd have never have put up my money. But Americans are no longer living in fear."
Jacob Sullum wrote about how the Chong persecution and related paraphernalia busts crack down on free speechhere. I analogized Obama to the Mikhail Gorbachev of pot liberalization in June.

Reviewed on: Playstation 4
Game Supplied by: Publisher
Yaga is an Action RPG with a charming narrative exploring the enchanted world of slavic culture and folklore. Play as a one-handed blacksmith caught between the jealous Tzar giving impossible tasks and the ancient Witch protecting the supernatural world.
The game takes place in the universe of Slavic folktales. It's a 14th century world as seen through the eyes of Eastern European peasants: filled with pagan belief, house spirits, unclean creatures, superstition and magic.
I'll be entirely honest, it's difficult to know where to start with Yaga, even within the set parameters of first impressions. I'll confess to feeling somewhat underwhelmed when first firing up the ol' PS4 to play Yaga, though I must say, the game, right from the very beginning, was weird and outlandish enough to hold my interest.
Bizarre though the back-story and general narrative may be, points simply must be awarded for originality. Yaga is anything but contrived, without a single formulaic character in its coding! It opens with some truly nutty characters plagued by some genuinely insane ambitions and motivations, with the ruler of the protagonist's lands, the utterly barmy Tzar, hell bent on achieving strength beyond measure, perpetual youth, and any number of equally fantastical whims.
This is where the main protagonist, Ivan, a shockingly unlucky blacksmith, comes in. Following a bout of genuinely perplexing dialogue with the barmy Tzar — which ultimately concludes in Ivan's ultimatum of carrying out the Tzar's wishes or being murdered on the spot — the player is cast into Yaga's gameplay. As is traditional, this commences with a brief overview of controls and gaming fundamentals, though for my part, this essentially involved rolling around the screen and swiping at anything with pixels, until I eventually got my bearings!
On the face of it, Yaga's gameplay appears limited and rudimentary; absent the intricacies of so many of today's leading gaming titles. When first taking control of the unwitting blacksmith, the player is limited to basic locomotion and blunt-force attacks, which, at its core, boils down to some rather clunky and unpolished mechanics, with Ivan's movements somewhat disjointed from the landscape and the NPCs — particularly enemies — with which he comes into contact.
Making the best of these mechanics, with Ivan as their avatar, players must navigate the linear forest landscape and battle a few beasties, before the game runs with the back-story of how poor old Ivan lost his hand and became infamous for his misfortune. He then recounts his tragic life to the unmoved Tzar in a desperate bid to save his own skin. Sadly, the Tzar does not take pity on the rotund, handicapped, middle-aged blacksmith, and instead sends him off to do his bidding.
As Ivan ventures through 14th Century Romania, he encounters numerous allied NPCs along the way, and this affords him opportunities to barter for magic, charms, talismans and other useful items, all of which can be utilised in a variety of ways to bolster Ivan's arsenal, and better equip him to dispense with the unclean creatures besieging Yaga's landscape. Of particular assistance is the game's main witch and namesake, Baba Yaga, who provides Ivan with information and guidance throughout the game. That is, of course, once Ivan has appeased her with certain luxury gifts, including but by no means limited to a white cow's tail and a bag of spoiled, rotting wheat… Another guiding voice is provided by Ivan's grandmother, who advises Ivan in terms of the gifts that might go down well with Baba Yaga. Ultimately, as players will quickly come to learn, Ivan's grandmother really just wants her sweet boy to find a wife!
This guidance and plethora of enhancements enhances Ivan's initial repertoire, allowing him to press onward with bolstered durability, increased strength and speed, more powerful attacks, better luck, and any number of other buffs, which translate into a more deadly Ivan. This is a welcome feature, and not only prevents the game from becoming stale, but also allows Ivan to rise to the challenge of increasingly formidable foes, as the game progresses.
Complementing these enhancements is the ability to craft and mine / extract. At set times and stages throughout the game, Ivan is able to make use of his anvil and hammer to craft enhancements to his arsenal of hammers, carriage wheels (shield), bear-paw glove (much cooler than it sounds) and sickle, to name just a few! Again, this adds variety and depth to the gameplay, and more than that, the crafting process itself is really rather fun; combining offensive items such as nails with various ores and magical artifacts, resulting in imaginatively conceived melee enhancements such as slowing enemies, causing them to bleed (take additional damage), and recovering Ivan's willpower or stamina commensurate with damage dealt.
Ideally with the assistance of the aforementioned enhancements, players will need to keep a close eye on several status bars that together represent Ivan's health and wellbeing: being his Willpower Meter, his Endurance Meter, his Luck Meter and his Experience Meter. Of utmost importance is Ivan's Willpower, full depletion of which will see Ivan collapse from exhaustion and a lack of motivation to press on with his most resented quest.
Fortunately, the first to be eroded, and acting as something of a buffer, is Ivan's Endurance Meter, which thankfully replenishes itself during periods of calm, such as when standing still or walking. Only once this has reached zero will his Willpower Meter begin to deplete, though the player is nevertheless compelled to watch carefully.
The difficulty here is that the Endurance Bar is depleted not only by physical exertion; fast-rolling, melee attacks and the use of special items, it is also depleted by enemy attacks. Worse still, a depleted Endurance Bar precludes certain actions and types of attack, and so it is not uncommon for Ivan to find himself besieged by enemies, his Willpower in jeopardy, and a dearth of special attacks with which to neutralise the threat. This is by no means a criticism of the game's 'health' system. On the contrary, it is a clever and original approach to character maintenance and one which will keep players well and truly on their toes.
The originality of the gameplay mechanics notwithstanding, Yaga does suffer somewhat from combat limitations, insofar as each stage of the game essentially involves heading off into the woods on a particular quest and venturing into a particular area and clearing it of enemies that appear each time Ivan crosses the border into a new zone. Admittedly, to the game's credit, the player can expect to encounter a respectable variety of mythical beasts and wild animals with which to do battle, and most, if not all of these fearsome enemies have their own unique traits, durability levels, weapons and attack types. That said; however, the crux of each and every encounter is a formulaic dodging of close-quarter and ranged attacks, and retaliation in kind in the hope of emerging victorious, with Ivan's Willpower Meter intact.
A separate issue with the combat sequences is the repetitive music, which never varies. This is of course not uncommon in the gaming world, with set pieces of music frequently used to distinguish high-threat gameplay from more mundane NPC interactions and conflict-free exploration. That said, as alluded to earlier, each new area entered in Yaga brings with it an additional battle sequence, and so with such a high incidence rate, the music can become somewhat annoying. This is all the more frustrating as the wider audio offering of Yaga is actually quite good, with a unique soundtrack that fits well with Yaga's genre and settings, featuring underground folklore band Subcarpați.
As for the allied NPC interactions, these – are – weird. Just… so weird, and the same can be said for the minority of enemies that actually engage in dialogue before it comes to fisticuffs. Initially, the bizarre character artwork, peculiar voice acting and ostensibly contrived dialogue had me wondering if this was a game I wanted to venture much further into; however, once I had settled into the game and come to terms with its unique style and characters, its weirdness quickly grew on me. In fact, I actually came to love it, and to enjoy it for its undeniable originality and freakishness.
Not only are the in-game interactions wildly unconventional, it is also here that the game's variety and player-lead narrative really comes into its own. For each NPC interaction, Ivan has a number of possible responses and reactions, each of which, as a general rule of thumb, fits into one of four categories, being: aggressive, wise, ignorant and commercial. By way of example, if given a task or ultimatum, the player can choose to have Ivan respond in an aggressive manner, such as, "You expect me to do that?", which as a general rule seems to make combat more likely than had a more passive response been offered. The game's weirdness is, in fact, its strength, and a veritable USP. Yaga's unconventional nature, coupled with the highly enjoyable crafting mechanics and player-driven gameplay make for an outlandish gaming triumph, and despite myself, has fast become a firm favourite that I will undoubtedly play through numerous times, just to see how many different consequences and endings I can squeeze out of it!
In addition to Ivan's responses dictating the flow and outcome of interactions, they also shape the wider direction of the game overall. So too do other multiple-choice scenarios, such as the day on which Ivan sets out on his various quests, with each day having its own prevailing conditions that shape Ivan's abilities and fortunes. Choice even shapes the direction of the game, beyond the grave, with Ivan being able to learn a choice lesson each time he dies, resulting in further enhancements to his abilities.
Graphically, Yaga is somewhat lacking. Evidently, this is not an area of the game that has received a great deal of investment, though this is in all likelihood at least somewhat deliberate.
Yaga has clearly not endeavoured to contend with the graphical behemoths in the games market, and instead focuses on unique gameplay and the player-choice driven narrative that distinguishes Yaga from its competitors.
Yaga's landscapes, whilst certainly not offensive to look at, are simplistic and of limited graphical detail. Admittedly, there is a certain charm to the crude art-style of both the terrain and the characters, though I had hoped for slightly more impressive visuals, which would have been particularly welcome for the game's boss fights.
The same can be said for the graphics involved with Ivan's interactions with enemies and NPCs alike, not to mention his movement throughout Yaga's Slavic lands. What little animation is present during interactions is twitchy and unpolished, with Yaga a long way from the grade of games in which players are treated to characters' micro-expressions and lip-syncing. Again, this is somewhat charming in ways, but perhaps a better job could have been done here.
Particularly jarring is Ivan's incongruous traversing of the landscape, with his strides and roles entirely at odds with the speeds at which he moves. This fades into obscurity as the game progresses, though Yaga must nevertheless be taken to task for this graphical incompatibility between character and landscape.
Ultimately, the graphics are of a somewhat low quality, but not so low as to detract from the enjoyment to be had in playing through the game.
Overall, Yaga is a truly unique and charming game, brimming with imaginatively conceived characters and a plethora of crafting and magical enhancements. Yaga's bespoke health system in particular is a real innovation, and a thoroughly enjoyable element of what is in and of itself a very decent RPG title.
Graphically, Yaga leaves much to be desired, though it is fair to say that even the most polished graphics can only carry a game so far, and it is the love and energy poured into Yaga's gameplay element that truly sets it apart, making it a worthy contender for a place on the shelf of RPG veterans and newbies alike.

Newport Shipyard owner Charlie Dana and Bannister's Wharf owner David Ray will carry forward the tradition of Superyacht racing in Newport, RI. Founded in Nantucket in 1986 by the late Nelson Doubleday, it was there that the Nantucket Bucket was raced for 15 years. After that, it came to Newport Shipyard – known as the Newport Bucket – where it has been ever since.
But as the owners of the Bucket Regattas will now be concentrating their efforts on the St. Barths Bucket, the stewardship of the Newport regatta will now be transferred to the local hands of David and Charlie, who are not only participants but also understand well "the spirit" of what Nelson created.
Starting in July 2016, superyacht racing in Newport will continue as the 'Candy Store Cup.' The Candy Store Cup has good synergy with the Bucket; it was first won by Bill Ziegler's GEM in 1977 and more recently by Kenny Read's MAR MOSTRO, narrowly beating George David's RAMBLER 100, in 2011. The Candy Store Cup will be the perfect sequel to honor the light-hearted tradition for which the regatta has always been known.
The Shipyard and Bannister's Wharf teams have already consulted yacht owners and captains and determined that a shift to earlier summer dates (tentatively July 21–24) will make it easier for more of the great sailing yachts to be in the neighborhood.
"Newport Shipyard is a longtime supporter and friend of the Bucket," said Charlie Dana. "Initially, it was more of a party for the biggest sailing yachts that had no races to enter. Here we are three decades later with such spectacular racing and imagery that the sailing fraternity is not only agog but out in full force. Racing these boats is something I never would have dreamt possible as a child. How lucky we are. We can't wait," Dana said.
Stay tuned to NewportShipyard.com for more information.

Obviously I've covered the summit on a daily basis in what I feel is pretty damn good detail, as well as the travel process and some funny stories, again focused on the detail. But I did want to take a couple of minutes and reflect on the summit as a whole.
How about medium size alliance news for a change?
After my blog post the other day on some ideas to (perhaps) improve sovereignty, there continue to be two separate ideas floated by the wider community.
The new DUST 514 version seems promising as they seem to have focused in polishing already existing elements of the game rather than bloating it with unfinished features, to this we say huurayyy!
If you try to make sovereignty mechanics harder on the big guy, you will only end up making it doubly hard for the little guy.
CCP karkur here with some news from the late Team Pony Express. You won't be hearing much more from the team in the future but that's all good because we recently formed one super team, Team Kuromaku, with the members from Team Prototyping Rocks.
What I do know is that the big alliances and coalitions make taking sovereignty took easy. Whether the CFC sweeping through Fountain, or N3 and Pandemic Legion rescuing a couple hundred systems of dropped rental sov in not much more than 48 hours.

DrupalCampParis2 is coming up soon: April 19th, 2008.
I'll probably be presenting a few talks there, and I'm particularly thinking about seizing the opportunity to attract more French speaking Belgians to drupal.be, of which about 99.5% of the content is in Dutch at the moment.
Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated, as are topic proposals. So much to tell, so little time.

Q: Show element on scroll (both up and down) - hide element when page is static (not scrolling) I would like to make a svg image of a computer mouse appear at the bottom of the viewport when user scrolls the page (both up and down scrolling). When the page is static (no scroll) I would like the element to be hidden. It is the same effect as the scrollbar on the right in the browser. Is it possible to apply this effect to a html element? Many thanks for your help in advance.

A: This can be achieved by listening for the "scroll" event, window.addEventListener('scroll', someFunction).
We can show the div by changing its display style from "none" to "block" box.style.display = 'block'.
And setting a timeout that, in five seconds, will call another function to hide the div again setTimeout(hideBox, 5000).
You can find the definition and explanation for all of these functions in the Mozilla docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/
I've also included a simple but working example:

(function () {
  let timeoutHandle = 0;
  const box = document.getElementById("box");

  // add the scroll event
  window.addEventListener("scroll", (e) => {
    box.style.display = "block";
    clearTimeout(timeoutHandle);
    // call function to hide box after 5 seconds
    timeoutHandle = setTimeout(hideBox, 5000);
  });

  // hides box by setting display to 'none'
  hideBox = () => {
    box.style.display = "none";
  };
})();
#box {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 2px;
  right: 2px;
  line-height: 95px;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
  border: 3px solid red;
  text-align: center;
  display: none;
}

#box p {
  display: inline-block;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

 This is just some sample text.

 You should pay attention to the tiny box at the bottom right corner. It appears when you scroll.

 Now we add a very long image to make scrolling possible.

Call Them The Evangelical Alpha Males
Terry Mattingly
Terry Mattingly (www.tmatt.net) teaches at Palm Beach Atlantic University and is senior fellow for journalism at the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities. He writes this weekly column for the Scripps Howard News Service.
There's Chuck Colson and James Dobson, James Kennedy and Robert Schuller, and Paul Crouch and Pat Robertson. There are many more. They are 60 years old or much older, but they still command the spotlight.
"During this decade the American Church will experience a massive turnover in … leadership," note researchers George Barna and Mark Hatch, in their book, "Boiling Point." If history is a guide, "the impact of many of the personality-driven ministries will fade as the primary personality departs the scene."
Celebrities are hard to replace. That's why a provocative thinker named Phillip E. Johnson — patriarch of the "Intelligent Design" movement — has taken a different path.
It's not that he is terribly modest. But Johnson wants to win and he is convinced that aiming the spotlight at others is good strategy. He wants his cause to thrive after he is gone.
"One of things that the Christian world is notorious for is a celebrity style of dealing with issues," Johnson said, speaking at a conference at Palm Beach Atlantic College (which is also where I teach). "That puts a big burden on one person. I never wanted a movement like that."
So Johnson writes his own books, while promoting those written by his colleagues. And he keeps yielding the stage to biochemist Michael Behe, philosopher Stephen Meyer, mathematician William Dembski, worldview specialist Nancy Pearcey and a host others.
Johnson would rather be a rabbi than an Alpha Male. This is not normal. Then again, Johnson has not lived a normal, garden-variety Christian life. He is a graduate of both Harvard University and the University of Chicago School of Law and served as clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren. Then he joined the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley — a great home base for a left-of-center agnostic.
However, a personal crisis rocked Johnson's life and he became a Christian believer, of a bookish Presbyterian stripe. Years later, he read Michael Denton's Evolution: A Theory in Crisis and was hooked. Johnson became convinced that the legal rhetoric being used to silence critics of Darwinian philosophy was, in fact, a secular fundamentalism.
Acting as fierce, but jolly, academic samurai, Johnson set out to slice up the scientific establishment. The result was Darwin on Trial in 1991, followed by numerous other books that have inspired and infuriated readers. Last summer, Johnson suffered a major stroke. He responded by writing yet another book, the upcoming The Right Questions.
Johnson thrives in secular settings. When he does agree to talk theology, rather than science, he refuses to march straight through the landmines in the first chapters of Genesis. Instead, he starts with the prelude to the Gospel of John, which states: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made."
After reading this, Johnson asks: "Is that true or false?"
Then he turns this scripture inside out and creates a credo for use in sanctuaries aligned with the National Center for Science Education. It sounds like this: "In the beginning were the particles and the particles somehow became complex, living stuff. And the stuff imagined god."
After reading this, Johnson again asks: "Is that true or false?"
The movement Johnson calls "the Wedge" argues that today's debates over science, creation and morality are, literally, clashes between people who believe there is scientific evidence that God created man and those who believe there is scientific evidence that man created God.
This debate will not be settled overnight, which is why Johnson is convinced he must not fight alone. He believes the stakes are high and getting higher.
"If there is no Creator who has a purpose for your life, then there is no such thing as sin," he said. "Sin would mean that you are in a wrong relationship to your Creator. Well, you can't be in the wrong relationship with the particles. They don't care. So you don't need a Savior, to save you from the consequences of your wrong relationship with the particles. …
"When you give away creation, you have given away everything."

Poor Argentina lucky to remain in Copa America
Argentina are fortunate to still be in the Copa America after a dreadful performance against Columbia.
There was a much improved atmosphere from the opening match in La Plata with noisy fans in the terraces behind each goal at the Colon Santa Fe stadium upping the sound levels and painting the ground blue and white prior to kick off.
Argentine manager Batista decided to stick with the seemingly out of form Lavezzi despite having the likes of Higuain, Sergio Aguero and Milito on the bench; players that would surely make the starting line-ups in most national teams.
The game should have been over by half time, with Ramos missing from six yards out and then Moreno guilty of the miss of the season as he failed to side foot the ball into an empty Argentine net from just 10 yards out. It was the kind of miss that should have galvanised Argentina but, aside from Lavezzi's one-on-one chance with the Columbian keeper, it was a solid and well-drilled Columbia that continually threatened to steal the points with chance after chance; Argentina's Sergio Romero and some disappointing finishing the difference in the end between Argentina remaining in the Copa America.
The Columbian man-of-the-match must surely have been central midfielder Carlos Sanchez, who played Lionel Messi out of the game, barking like a terrier at Messi's heels every time the world's number one had the ball. On this evidence Sanchez will be snapped up from French football by one of the top European clubs.
The match ended 0-0 with Argentina booed off the pitch and Batitusta openly abused by the Santa Fe fans. Argentina look short of ideas and ended the match with four strikers in a puzzling line-up that lacked balance and a midfield ball winner. They will likely need to beat Costa Rica by several goals in their last group game to have any chance of progressing to the quarter finals.

MILAN/MADRID (Reuters) - Italy's Atlantia (ATL.MI), Spain's ACS ACS.MI and Germany's Hochtief (HOTG.DE) will next week enter the home straight in their acquisition of Spanish toll-road group Abertis, quelling concerns that a disaster involving one of Atlantia's units could halt it.
The three companies will set up a special purpose vehicle (SPV) next week, which will become the owner of Abertis, three sources close to the matter said.
"Atlantia, ACS and Hochtief will create a vehicle and give it the financial resources to buy Abertis' shares from Hochtief," one of the sources said.
The deal, worth more than 17 billion euros ($20 billion), will create the world's biggest toll road group and also make Atlantia a shareholder in Hochtief.
A compromise in March between the Benetton family, which controls Atlantia, and Real Madrid soccer club president Florentino Perez, who heads ACS, put an end to a bidding war between the two companies over Abertis.
Builder ACS, construction company Hochtief and Abertis declined to comment, while Atlantia could not immediately be reached for a comment.
Under an agreement reached in March, Hochtief took over Abertis to transfer it to the SPV, which will be majority owned by Atlantia.
Atlantia is under scrutiny after a bridge operated by its motorway unit Autostrade per l'Italia collapsed last month, killing 43 people.
The disaster sparked public outrage in Italy with Rome's anti-establishment government piling blame on Autostrade, which runs a section of A10 motorway that links Genoa to the French border.
The Italian government has vowed to revoke Autostrade's Italian motorway concessions, saying the company reaped extra profits from the motorway business.
