Marine ecology describes the interactions of marine species with their biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) environments. The biotic environment includes interactions with other living organisms. The abiotic environment includes aspects of the physical habitat , such as water temperature, chemical composition, depth, and current.
Krill, small crustaceans that frequently are found in dense swarms, are critical to the food chain in polar oceans. Marine mammals and penguins, for example, rely on krill for a major part of their diet.
inorganic substances using resources from the environment and an external source of energy.
Most primary producers are photosynthesizers —that is, they use sunlight as their energy source. Plants and algae are examples of photosynthesizers. Nearly all food chains are based on photosynthesizers, although a few marine food chains depend on bacterial chemosynthesizers , which use a chemical source of energy for production. Chemosynthesizers are discussed later in this entry.
The next level in the food chain, the second trophic level, consists of species that eat the producers. These are sometimes referred to as primary consumers or as herbivores (plant-eaters).
The third trophic level consists of secondary consumers, which are also called carnivores (animal-eaters). There can be further, higher trophic levels as well.
Finally, there are detritivores and decomposers , both of which feed on dead or decaying organic matter. Much of the decomposition work in food chains is done by bacteria.
Species can occupy more than one trophic level, and each trophic level usually has many representatives. Consequently, in most marine ecosystems, trophic interactions are described not by simple chains but as complicated food webs . Many species, including omnivores (eaters of both plants and animals), eat at more than one level of the food web.
A pyramid of biomass describes the total amount of biomass, or weight of living matter, that is present in each trophic level. The amount of biomass decreases sharply as one moves up from one trophic level to the next (thus the "pyramid"). That is, the total weight of all the producers in a food chain is greater than the total weight of all the primary consumers, which in turn is greater than that of all secondary consumers. This is because not all the energy that a consumer obtains from food is converted to new biomass.
For example, the consumer must use energy to catch and eat prey. In addition, a lot of energy is lost to metabolism and heat. In fact, only about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is passed on to the next level. Because of the decreasing amount of energy available in each trophic level, most ecosystems cannot support more than four or five trophic levels.
In nearly all marine ecosystems, photosynthetic species represent the producers at the base of the food chain. Photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which are found in sea water.
Although there are some photosynthetic rooted plants in shallow marine areas, the majority of photosynthetic organisms in the ocean are microscopic algae, or phytoplankton, that drift along with currents in the water. Phytoplankton are found only in the topmost layer of marine water, known as the epipelagic zone, where there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis. Because of the concentration of producers, many consumer species also are found close to the water surface.
A generalized marine food web shows the feeding levels and their interconnections.
The amount of phytoplankton in oceans varies across regions and also changes seasonally. For example, phytoplankton are found in low concentrations in tropical waters, where nutrients are in short supply. Phytoplankton density generally is lowest during the winter, when resources are scarce, and greatest during the spring, when levels of sunlight and nutrients increase.
Spring often brings algal blooms, or population explosions of phytoplankton. Algae can be so plentiful during the blooms that they color the water, particularly if they contain red, brown, orange, or purple pigments. The amount of phytoplankton available has implications all the way up the food chain, and blooms in algae populations are often followed by increases in populations of other species.
Phytoplankton are consumed by many organisms, including diverse species of zooplankton. Zooplankton are free-floating consumers and include single-celled protozoa, tiny crustaceans, and the larval stages of species such as mollusks and fish. Zooplankton and phytoplankton are consumed by the nekton, free-swimming marine organisms such as fish, marine mammals, and penguins, as well as species on the ocean bottom, including bivalves, crustaceans, and snails.
There are numerous types of marine ecosystems. These include coral reefs , tidepools, polar oceans, the abyss, and others.
Photosynthetic algae are the producers in coral reefcommunities. The coral reefs represent one of the most diverse marine communities—in fact, a quarter of all marine species are found in or near coral reefs.
Photosynthetic algae in coral reefs have a mutualistic relationship with coral, that is, a close association that benefits both members. The algae are sheltered within the corals' calcium carbonate shells and provide nutrients to the corals in exchange. Diverse invertebrates feed on algae and in turn are eaten by reef fish, which are eaten by larger fish species.
Tidepool ecosystems are ones that are alternately submerged by water (at high tide) and exposed to air (at low tide). Most of the species found in tidepools are unique to the habitat and are able to survive in both wet and dry conditions. Tidepool food webs, like most marine food webs, are based on algae. Consumer species include bivalves, snails, small fish, and sea anemones. Often the top predators in tidepools are starfish.
In polar habitats, such as the oceans around Antarctica and the Arctic, photosynthetic algae also form the basis of the food chain. Algae are eaten by shrimp-like crustaceans called krill, which in turn serve as food for species as diverse as penguins and baleen whales. Penguins are eaten by seals, and penguins and seals are eaten by some whales, particularly killer whales, which are the topmost predators in the system.
Kelp forests are marine ecosystems characterized by gigantic species of floating photosynthetic algae called kelp. Kelp can reach lengths of up to 80 meters (about 262 feet). A number of crustaceans feed on kelp, as do sea urchins. These are eaten by larger organisms, such as sea otters.
The deepest part of the ocean, the abyss, extends to depths as great as 6,000 meters (about 19,685 feet, or 3.7 miles). These deep-sea environments are characterized by cold temperatures and lack of light. Consequently, no photosynthesizers exist, although a diverse array of detritivores feed on dead organic matter that floats down from above. There are also numerous predatory and parasitic species.
Hydrothermal vents are cracks or openings in the ocean floor where hydrogen sulfide, metals in solution, and other chemical compounds escape into the sea water. * Certain specialized chemosynthetic bacteria live in these hot areas and produce organic matter from hydrogen sulfide. They form the base of unusual food webs in this specialized habitat.
Chemosynthetic bacteria are eaten by specialized vent worms, clams, and mussels, which in turn provide food for octopuses and other species. The hydrothermal vent crab is at the top of the food chain in vent environments. * These unique deep-sea ecosystems are more diverse than most deep-sea environments.
A feature of the ordered structure of food chains is that substances, especially pollutants , become concentrated in large amounts at higher trophic levels. This process is called bioconcentration.
Bioconcentration occurs because species that consume pollutants do not excrete them but, rather, store them in bodily tissues, where they accumulate over time. For organisms high in the food chain, their prey organisms have already concentrated pollutants from multiple prey of their own, and so forth. This results in high concentrations of pollutants in species that eat high in the food chain.
An issue of particular relevance in aquatic ecosystems is mercury poisoning. Mercury causes severe health problems in human and other species, including brain damage, and is bioconcentrated in the upper trophic levels. This is why people, pregnant women in particular, are often advised against eating predatory fish such as tuna and swordfish.

A Short But Unforgettable South Pole Ski Adventure to The Bottom Of The World. Travel By Ski To The South Pole & Discover Antarctica's Vast Interior. An Epic Expedition.
All about the South Pole Expedition, Ski The Last Degree, 16 Days, Polar Expedition.
One of the ultimate adventures on earth has to be Antarctica's South Pole Ski the Last Degree expedition.
This incredible journey involves skiing the final ten days of the trek to the South Pole, using sleds to haul our provisions.
You will fly over the vast white interior of the continent to reach the starting point at 89º South.
Our arrival into the South Pole itself is often an emotion-generating moment, signifying the transition from the austere beauty of the great white south to the imminent comforts of civilisation and homeward travel about to commence. Join us on our exceptional South Pole Ski expeditions.
The South Pole Ski the Last Degree Expedition is a fabulous expedition for those who would like to ski to the South Pole without the time constraints of the full South Pole expedition. If you are someone who loves being in the wildest environments on earth, then this expedition is a 'must do' adventure of a lifetime.
The Last Degree is effectively the process of making the journey over the last latitude of distance to the South Pole from 89° South. The actual distance is 60 nautical miles being 111km or 69 miles. We fly to the start point at 89° South to begin the trek. The trip initiates in Chile and involves a flight by jet into Antarctica's interior, followed by a fixed wing (Twin Otter) flight to the start point of the trek.
The South Pole itself is at an elevation of 2835m/9,301' above sea level but due to the very cold air mass, has an effective air pressure elevation much higher than this.
For this reason, we need to acclimatise to the thin air and the exertions we expect on the trek to the Pole. Training is provided on polar survival and travel techniques once we arrive in Antarctica and prior to the expedition getting underway.
Once we have flown to the start point of the trek, we take time to adjust to the cold and the thin air as well as becoming familiar with the rigours of expedition life.
The group meets in Punta Arenas, Chile at the tip of South America for briefings and gear checks, prior to flying into the interior of Antarctica. From Punta Arenas, we fly by Ilyushin 76 aircraft to the ALE base camp at Union Glacier. Here the aircraft makes a wheeled landing on a natural blue-ice runway.
Our flights to Antarctica are operated by Antarctic Logistics (ALE) who are the sole providers of aircraft access into the region. We have worked with them since their inception in the early 1980s when expedition company founder Rob Hall provided them assistance establishing the Vinson Massif routes and camps.
The Union Glacier base camp is situated at 80 degrees south and is a small collection of tents. The dining and kitchen tent have wooden floors and are heated with a kerosene stove. We sleep overnight in our own mountain tents but gather for meals in the warmth of the dining tent.
Your guides will hold a briefing on the logistics and safety protocols of the upcoming adventure and cover all aspects of the trip not already addressed in the initial briefing held in Punta Arenas. We pay special attention to the environmental considerations required to leave the continent with as minimal an impact as possible. Following the briefing, we will sort sufficient equipment for an overnight practice tour to consolidate the skills needed for the trip itself. This is an ideal time to sort out last minute equipment queries and to familiarise yourself with the environment, and how we best manage ourselves when we are out in it.
Following our tour, we will finalise packing of the group supplies and equipment to divide this amongst the team onto sleds. We must then wait for sufficiently fine weather to start the long flight to the beginning of the trek. Conditions need to be clear and calm along the route with good visibility for landing and taking off. There can be delays of several days and sometimes more, so it is vital you are prepared for this eventuality and that you can relax at these times. Antarctica is not predictable or tameable and no amount of enthusiasm or pressure to get started will change her.
Once the weather forecasters give us the green light, we load into the ski-equipped Twin Otter aircraft for the six-hour flight south into the heart of Antarctica. Along the way, we stop at the Thiel Mountains to refuel the aircraft from a specially placed fuel cache, and then continue our flight the remainder of the distance to 89° South.
Your guides will train you in the techniques and skills to enjoy the adventure. They are there to guide you and to educate you in the requisite skills. It is however up to you to absorb that training and to follow their lead and instructions. Failing to do so, will likely lead to serious consequences. We are after all, in one of the most extreme habitats on earth.
Your survival and well-being require you to manage yourself responsibly and to be extremely vigilant in your personal self-care. It is up to you to regulate factors such as your food and hydration levels to ensure you have sufficient energy to complete the journey.
There will be sufficient food and fluids available for you to ingest, but you must discipline yourself to eat and drink as insufficient intake can lead to a deteriorating condition. You must take extra care to not remove gloves and other protective layers at the wrong time, as this may lead to frostbite when exposed to the elements. Your feet will also require diligent attention to ensure you do not get blisters. You will have to pay particular care to not allow a single blister to occur as they will likely get worse rather than better as the trip progresses. A seemingly small oversight by you in looking after yourself can lead to you failing to complete the trip or suffering personal damage. These considerations consume us as we travel and our responsibility to the group is to ensure we stay in good shape to continue on towards the objective.
You also have social responsibilities to the other team members. There may be stresses on the journey that you are not familiar with and it is important that you join the expedition on the understanding that you will contribute to the emotional and physical well being of the other team members. Conviviality and respect for others is tantamount to a successful expedition outcome.
As we will be arriving high onto the polar plateau, we will encounter effects of altitude that may make us feel a little weak, to begin with. Everyone will be towing a sled loaded with their personal and expedition equipment, and we will have a short day to stretch our legs then establish our first camp. We will begin slowly on the expedition to bring everyone up to an optimum pace for the remainder of the journey. There will be no rushing as it is vital that we avoid injury and burnout so that we have the stamina to finish the expedition.
Each day we will awake around 7.30am for breakfast and hydration before we begin to break camp and pack our belongings. We travel for around 8 hours every day with a break every hour for food and drink. Everybody travels together and the pace will be slow, steady and not hurried. The objective is to maintain optimum body temperature; too cold and we burn too much energy; whilst too hot will cause sweating that promotes hypothermia when you stop, in addition to dehydration issues. At the day's end, you will have travelled 10- 15km (6-10 miles).
On arrival at our campsite, the group will set up tents and build protective snow walls and contribute to snow melting and meal preparations. Team members will share tents in either 2 or 3 person tents and each tent 'team' will have their own stove for cooking and snow melting. Everyone is involved and working to get the camp ready for habitation. The bonus is that you will stay warm by helping out! Once inside your tent, you will be sheltered from the wind and the 24-hour daylight will enable clothes to be dried in the midnight sun.
To partake in the Ski the Last Degree Expedition, you need to be physically fit, have strong mental stamina and be capable of strenuous exercise at altitude for several days duration. You don't necessarily need to be an experienced skier as there is little technical requirement on the flat, however, the days will be physical and you must train well before joining to ensure you have an enjoyable trip. Expedition members can expect to be exerting themselves for about eight hours per day with another hour establishing camp and another hour preparing food and drinks.
The expedition members will gather at Punta Arenas in Chile. Regular daily flights on LAN Chile and Ladeco Airlines connect with Santiago and other points north. As the group gear must be weighed and loaded at least 1 day prior to departure to Union Glacier, you are advised to schedule your arrival in Punta Arenas accordingly. Our trip dates take account of this, with an arrival on 15 December / 31 December timed to allow for preparation before the flight to Union Glacier on 18 December / January 3.
Every effort will be made to ensure the expedition itinerary is adhered to, but Antarctica is the most remote and isolated continent on earth. The above program is subject to change as it may be affected by weather conditions, aircraft serviceability and other factors out of the hands of the expedition operator or its staff and contractors. While every effort is made to ensure the expedition is run to schedule, acceptance onto the expedition is based on your acceptance of those conditions. Having stated that, our track record in Antarctica is impeccable but it is a sign of our respect of Antarctica's environmental omnipotence that we alert you to those possibilities.
We stay in a small and modest hotel in central Punta Arenas, which is a good hub for the team members while we await our flight to the 'ice'. It is only 2-3 stars but has a relaxed local atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. Let us know if you'd like us to book a room for you. If you would prefer a greater degree of comfort during your stay in Punta, we can arrange this for you and please advise us at the time of booking of your preference. Meals and hotel expenses in Punta Arenas are not included in the trip cost.
Expedition members must secure their own visa for multiple-entry into Chile. While Chile claims part of the Antarctic Continent as its sovereignty, it requires that we check through immigration when leaving for and returning from Antarctica, thus a multi-entry visa is required.

Wellington Airport -- Near Disasters Revisited
What The Airshow Crowd Didn't Realise...
Sixty years ago Marlborough film-maker Paul Davidson was a 14 year old kid standing in a huge crowd beside Wellington Airport's runway. It was the great Capital Air Show celebrating the official opening of the new airport, and Paul will never forget the heart-stopping moment when a giant delta-wing Vulcan bomber almost crashed right in front of him.
The R.A.F. Vulcan hits the end of the runway with it's port undercarriage, and it's wing came very close to hitting the runway, which would have resulted in a serious crash.
Several Near Misses At Wellington
There were other near-misses in the gale-force northerly winds of that day, most notably when a Sunderland flying boat making a low pass actually hit the runway, punched a hole in its keel and almost sunk on its return to base.
But what has never previously been revealed is that there was almost another disaster when the Vampire aerobatic team ran into cloud - and nearly the ground - on their last act of the day. Paul has now tracked down the crew of these aircraft, who have given first-hand accounts of their dramatic experiences on that day. He has combined their stories with actual footage of the event and created this intriguing short film which brings that momentous day back to the present.
"I will never forget that day" says Paul "and after talking to the pilots I know they never will either."
Sunderland co-pilot Robin Klitscher went on to fly helicopters in Vietnam and become a highly decorated Air Vice Marshall, while Vampire pilot Tom Enright flew almost every type of passenger jet all over the world. Both are now well retired, but Tom certainly says luck was on their side that day, and Robin ruefully reflects on his logbook entry for the day - a "touch and go" for his flying boat.
The Vulcan powers away from the airport with the damaged undercarriage leg dangling from the port wing. This was one of three near disasters during the airshow.
Now Read About It
Vampire pilot Tom Enright's book "Many A Close Run Thing" is available from publishers Harper Collins (in hard copy and as an ebook), and it's a great account of Tom's 45 year flying career, with lots of interesting historical military and civil flying material. Sunderland flying boat operations around the Pacific and SAR operations in difficult conditions, including one in a severe hurricane, are covered.

Will overcrowding sink Noah's ark?
Defining species, and implications for conservation
source: Bob Holmes and Jeff Hecht
New Scientist no 2422, November 22 2003
starts p 6, 2 pages long
It has become more difficult to define species, with new discoveries, and disagreements as to whether a particular group of animals constitutes a species. This makes conservation decisions difficult, because it is unclear what we should conserve. Elephants and gorillas, for example, could have more species than previously thought. In constrast, other animals, such as the red wolf, are no longer considered to be species. The red wolf is likely to have resulted from a cross between a coyote and a wolf.
Paul Hebert, biologist from Guelph University, Canada, is tackling the problem by focusing on one gene, cytochrome C oxidase I, in order to identify species. There is disagreement on what constitutes a species, and it is more complex than whether offspring can be fertile. Species can be seen as lineages that have evolved separately, a view that could more than double the number of species.

The Supreme Court Rules that Severance Payments can be Subject to FICA
In an 8-0 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court, on March 25, ruled that retailer, Quality Stores Inc., a large specialty agricultural retailer, was not entitled to a refund of FICA paid on severance payments the company paid to its employees due to layoffs.
Quality Stores, which had over 300 stores, closed all stores and fired all employees in 2001 and 2002. The company paid the disputed taxes and sought a refund claiming that wages should not include severance paid as a result of bankruptcy. Quality Stores contended that the payments represented supplemental unemployment compensation, not wages.
The case was presented in many lower courts that were divided on the issue. The Supreme Court decision reverses rulings by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and a federal district court, which found the payments were not considered taxable wages. The payments were made to 1,850 former employees let go after the company filed for bankruptcy.
The decision is a victory for the present administration and the Justice Department who estimated that the government could face more than $1 billion in tax refund claims from other employers if the decision was upheld. Therefore, all protective claims that were previously filed will be denied and no refunds will be forthcoming to any similarly situated taxpayers.
Text of the opinion is available at http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/12-1408_6468.pdf.

L'ex oratorio di Santa Maria della Neve si trova a Firenze, in via San Gallo 40 rosso.

Storia e descrizione
Verso il 1427 vennero qui riunite alcune monache di monasteri soppressi, come quello di San Gherardo e di San Girolamo degli Scalzi, poi unite nel 1435 al monastero di Sant'Agata. Poi fu per pochi anni sede delle monache poi trasferite in Santa Lucia, quindi un ospizio retto dai Canonici Regolari di Sant'Agostino della Badia Fiesolana. Tra questi ultimi ci fu don Timoteo da Verona, confessore di Cosimo il Vecchio.

Ebbe qui sede la Compagnia dedicata ai santi Crispino e Crispiniano, fratelli calzolai martirizzati sotto Diocleziano. Era stata fondata il 6 giugno 1502, unendo due confraternite di calzolai e ciabattini, quella dei tedeschi (che si riuniva nella cappella di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria in San Lorenzo) e quella degli italiani.

Qui la nuova Compagnia riunificata ebbe prima sede, spostandosi poi nel corso del Seicento nella Santissima Annunziata. Più tardi ebbe sede in Borgo la Croce, presso l'oratorio dei Santi Crispino e Crespiniano. La compagnia aveva come stemma una corona con due palme in decusse, simbolo del doppio martirio dei suoi protettori, sovrastante una lesina e un trincetto, tipici strumenti del mestiere.

Dell'oratorio oggi resta traccia solo nella facciata, con l'originale finestra centrale, decorata da uno stemma mediceo. Nell'edificio accanto un altro stemma Medici-Lorena pende da una finestrella, vicino a una lapide del Signori Otto, ormai illeggibile ma nota dalle trascrizioni:

La traslitterazione corrente è: «I Signori Otto di Balìa della città di Firenze proibiscono a chiunque di qualsivoglia stato, grado e condizione, di fare alccna sporcizia intorno alla chiesa di Santa Maria della Neve dei reverendi Padri Canonici Regolari della Badia di Fiesole, la quale proibizione per ordine e comandamento dei medesimi Signori Otto si estende a quanto dura l'abitazione dei predetti canonici
compreso cioè il loro ospizio con la sopradetta chiesa e sotto la stessa proibizione comandano i medesimi Signori, che nessuno ardisca tenere bestie legate o sciolte vicino
alla detta chiesa per quanto è la tenuta di essi canonici, sotto pena di scudi 2, 2 tratti di fune e la cattura per ciascuna volta».

Everton Fitzgerald "Batow" Gonsalves
May 14th1962 Everton Fitzgerald "Batow" Gonsalves was born to Eroy of Athill Street Villa and Melvina Gonsalves of Body Ponds St. Mary's Antigua and Barbuda. He was educated at the Antigua Pilgrim High School, Bartlesville Wesleyan College (now the Oklahoma Wesleyan University), The University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus and the Norman Manley Law School, Mona Campus. He has also gained certificates in Tax Auditing and Tax Administration from the Caribbean, United States and England. With his exemplary performance in football, he was awarded a scholarship to Bartlesville Wesleyan College under the Villa Lions Football Scholarship initiative. While there, he made his mark as the record holder for most goals scored; one hundred and twelve goals (112) in four (4) seasons. The record remains intact to today. On October 14th, 2006 Everton "Batow" Gonsalves was inducted into the Hall Of Fame at the Oklahoma Wesleyan University for his contribution to football. He first played for the Villa Lions Football Club in 1978. He was elected President of the Club in 2004 and remains at the helm presently. He was selected to play for the Antigua and Barbuda National Football team in 1977 as a utility player before settling in specialist center forward and midfield positions. He holds the record for the most goals scored in the national set-up in a match: 1983 against Guyana, four (4) goals. He became captain of the national team in 1987 and retired from playing professionally in 1995. Everton "Batow" Gonsalves was elected President of the Antigua & Barbuda Football Association in 2008 and has served three consecutive terms to date. He has served football regionally and internationally in various capacities to include as a member of the FLZFA U-20 World Cup organizing committee and as an International Match Commissioner. He considers among his most outstanding accomplishments as President the completion of the ABFA Technical Center at Paynters and the Hall of Fame Showcase to celebrate and document the most outstanding national players. Even though short lived, during President Gonsalves tenure Antigua and Barbuda had a successful professional Club, with the full support of the ABFA, which added significantly to the success of the National Team. Professionally, Mr Gonsalves was called Bar in 2004. In addition to his client duties, he also volunteers his time working pro bono on legal matters for members of the ABFA. He lent his legal expertise as part of the review team to implement new Parliament rules in Antigua and Barbuda.

How and When Did 'The Simpsons' Begin?
Drawing from Twentieth Century Fox
Shows For Kids
Nancy Basile
Nancy Basile is an entertainment writer who specializes in cartoons, comic books, and other elements of pop culture. She has more than two decades of experience writing.
The Simpsons began as a series of "bumpers" or animated shorts for on April 19, 1987, and premiered as a full animated series on December 17, 1989, on FOX. The first episode was "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" (pictured). Regular broadcasts began on Sunday night beginning January 14, 1990.
The Origins of the Family
Matt Groening, the artist behind the comic strip Life in Hell, created the Simpson family using the names of his own father, mother, and sisters. (If you look closely at Homer Simpson, his thin hairline and his ear form the initials M.G.) He also has a sister named Patty, but no brother named Bart. His brother is named Mark.
He grew up in Portland, Oregon, which neighbors a town called Springfield. He has said that, as a child, he loved that Father Knows Best was set in Springfield because he imagined it being his Springfield.
Matt Groening grew up watching all the old Warner Bros. cartoons—Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Roadrunner —as well as Rocky and Bullwinkle. He kept his character design simple to mimic the characters from those classic cartoons. He also grew up watching The Flintstones, but he knew he could do better.
How it Came Into Production
James L. Brooks was the executive producer of The Tracey Ullman show and wanted to include animated shorts in the program. He had seen Groening's Life in Hell strip and asked Groening to pitch some ideas.
Groening has later said that only when he got to Brooks' office did he realize that doing Life in Hell on TV would mean surrendering his rights to them. So, on the fly, Groening came up with the now-iconic characters loosely modeled on his own family. Forty-eight one-minute Simpsons shorts aired on the program. Ultimately, Brooks noticed that they were getting a lot of attention. He also knew that Matt Groening dreamed of making a primetime animated series, even though there were none at the time. Brooks, with his background in sitcoms (The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi) and Groening, with his experience as a cartoonist and animator, were the perfect pair to create The Simpsons as we know it today—which looks and sounds notably different from its original iteration
Today, each half-hour episode takes approximately eight months to make, from when the story breaks in the writer's room, to having an episode animated by Film Roman, to when the cast records their lines.
The Evolution of the Characters
For the first four seasons, much of the focus was on Bart and his pranks. Gradually the spotlight shifted to Homer because there are more opportunities for jokes and much more dire consequences for Homer's actions.
Dan Castellaneta (Homer) and Julie Kavner (Marge) were regular members of The Tracey Ullman Show cast when they were asked to voice characters for The Simpsons. Nancy Cartwright originally auditioned for the role of Lisa, but she was more interested in Bart, so they let her audition for Bart instead. Hank Azaria joined the cast in the second season with very little voice-over work to his credit. Yeardley Smith never meant to do voice-over work, but went to The Simpsons audition because she was "the actress who went to every audition." Matt Groening was impressed with Harry Shearer in This is Spinal Tap and asked him to be a part of The Simpsons cast.
In 1991, Tracey Ullman sued 20th Century Fox for a percentage of the profits made from The Simpsons merchandise. She claimed that her contract gave her a piece of any merchandising profits that would stem from the show. However, James L. Brooks testified that she had no part in creating The Simpsons animated shorts that were part of The Tracey Ullman Show.
The Simpsons' Success
The Simpsons is the longest-running scripted show in TV history. Since premiering in December 1989, the series has become a cultural phenomenon, recognizable throughout the world. The show was named the "Best Show of the 20th Century" by Time magazine and "Greatest American Sitcom" by Entertainment Weekly. has won more than thirty Emmys, and its theatrical short was nominated for a 2012 Academy Award.

Honoring Movember with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Cool, Historical & Special Collections, History / By Lesley Schoenfeld
In honor of #Facial Hair Friday and Movember, check out these images of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes's magnificent mustache over the years.
The first photograph, taken in 1872 when Holmes was in his early 30s, shows him the same year he married his wife, Fanny Bowditch Dixwell. His mustache is off to a good start:
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., 1872, HOLLIS olvwork389586.
The second image shows Holmes in his mid-50s, during his tenure on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. By this time, he'd upped his earlier mustache game in both length and fullness:
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., 1897, HOLLIS olvwork385820, copy 2 by Hardy, Boston, Mass.
The final photograph was taken in 1931, on his 90th birthday. He stands in front of a wall of books in what appears to be his Washington, D.C. office. His mustache is now white and bushy, and extends well beyond the confines of his face:

Have dating 10 months and no i love you bad turn. think
Posted by: Tygolrajas Posted on: 08.04.2020
I have a simple theory about the world. The reason why more people aren't ending up in wildly enthusiastic relationships is simply due to one thing: they're not getting out of bad relationships soon enough. They stay in something "ok" for months and even years on end, preferring the safety of mediocrity to the angst of loneliness. In the end, they fail to make space in their lives for the right person because there's no room. In the creative arts, there is a saying: "Good is the enemy of great.
Tick-tock, boyfriend.
Possible dating 10 months and no i love you remarkable, this
At first, I was disgusted with myself for acknowledging how into him I was. Game over. What now?
He told me he wanted to see every state with me. Stage 4: Not-so-subtly dropping hints.
What is taking him so long? Stage 5: You consider scaring him into saying it. Is it even a rule?
Dating 10 months and no i love you
Fact: love is scary. The moment is perfect, everything you thought it would be! Now, you just have to wait for him to pop the question.
Jun 25, � Dating for 8 months and no "I love you" Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 Last. Jump to page: Results 1 to 10 of 24 Thread: Dating for 8 months and no "I love you" Thread Tools. Show Printable Version;. Jan 25, � Most of you advised me to go ahead and be the one to say it first, or at the very least, bring it up with him. ate: We have been officially together for 10 months, dating for 1 year and 3 weeks, and he still hasn't said "I love you." Recently, I did bring it up with him. I dated a guy for eleven months and during the entire course of our relationship he never told me that he loved me. We had a conversation once very early on in the relationship (2 months in) where he told me that in past relationships he had told.
We settle for mediocrity in ourselves and yet expect to end up with Leonardo DiCaprio or Keira Knightley. The classic "double-standard.
Accept. dating 10 months and no i love you mine the theme
If the double standard doesn't apply to you, it's possible you have too much patience. No one wants to be too judgmental.
Part of being an adult is being tolerant and accepting of others' flaws. But many of us just stay in something "good" for too long, hoping it will eventually blossom into something mind-blowing. But it doesn't.
It just says "good. From what I've seen in couples who've found "the one," it usually doesn't take years to realize.
Think, that dating 10 months and no i love you conversations! Thanks
It's somewhat early - usually in the first year, and sometimes in the first few weeks. If you're the right kind of person, who's done the necessary work on themselves, then you'll know very quickly. Assuming they're also worthy of you. And if you're not saying "I love you," it's not a tragic ending. It just means you could probably do better.
And should. Which is why you owe it to both of you to move on, and give each other room to find a better match.
The problem we've gotten into as a culture is that we feel like we don't have the right to break up with someone if they haven't done anything morally incomprehensible. But you don't have to wait until someone cheats on you to break up with them.
You can simply leave if your heart isn't fully engaged. At least while you're just dating - being married and raising kids together, yes, you need to stick around and give it every shot you can unless you've suffered too much to stomach any more.
You can exit if you simply feel, "Hey, I like you. We're having a 'nice' time. The sex is even pretty decent.
But I want more. I deserve to feel more. And so do you. And that's the guilt-relieving part of my argument; you're helping them find someone better, too.
Extreme - More Than Words (Official Video)
Because chances are there's someone else out there who's a better match for them than you are, too. You both just need to keep exploring. Because I believe the American divorce rate isn't due to people who were passionately in love but just drifted apart although that happens, too.
I believe it's more due to people who just never should have been married in the first place. And then finally admitted at age 49 what they probably should have admitted at age 24 when they'd only been dating three years.
Consider, that dating 10 months and no i love you something is. Now
Guy, girl, gay, straight, whatever: If it's love you want, give your venture enough time to have a chance to flourish, but just as a venture capitalist doesn't make unconditionally investments forever, pull your money at some point if you're not seeing enough return on your contributions.
Because there's plenty of other things out there to invest your time in.

You don't know what you're missing out on. You think the only option you have is the one in your hands, but it's not.

Does User Registration Need "Allow New Registrations" to be enabled?
Q: I know this might sound dumb, but do I have to "Allow new registrations" on my network in order for the User Registration Add-On to work? I ask because if I do, then WordPress adds a "Register" link to the login page and I only want users to be able to register through my form.
A (from Carl): I believe it is independent, it should work with that option turned off as Gravity Forms handles it all by itself.
On one of my websites where I use the User Registration add-on I've got that setting enabled. To make sure visitors get the right register-form I added a rule in the Redirection plugin (the registration URL redirects to a custom page).

Ellis Fox > Blog > Partner With Us > Smarter rail for a digital age
Smarter rail for a digital age
Network Rail recently announced ambitious plans to upgrade the outdated Victorian rail transport system and it can't come soon enough. With passenger numbers on the rise there is an urgent need for the railways to operate with greater efficiency and frequency.
Converting to digital railways will enable rail operators to schedule trains closer together while at the same time improving the level of operations safety and reliability. The increased frequencies will transport more passenger during peak commuting times when it is most needed thereby contributing to operational efficiency and creating much needed additional capacity.
15 year roll-out
Because almost two thirds of the signaling needs to be converted, it is estimated that it will take at least 15 years to have up to 70% of the railways operating on digital signaling. This opens up an opportunity to increase the future pipeline of work for railway contractors.
The good news is that it is already being rolled out on the Thameslink trains that operate through London Bridge. It is estimated that switching to digital signaling will create an additional capacity for 40 000 more people on these routes alone. London's Kings Cross and Waterloo station will be next to come online and in the future the Digital Railway Strategy is planned to roll out across the Pennines by 2024.
This all forms part of the government's modernization of the rail network which has been allocated a budget of £48bn between 2019 and 2024 for maintenance, upgrades and renewals.
Everyone wins
Digital technology and innovation offers a solution for bridging the productivity gap that has plagued the industry for years. Digital scheduling and monitoring can help ensure that rail services to run on time more often, and operate with greater frequency and efficiency. This will generate a better return on investment for private investors and ultimately benefit taxpayers as it means public funds allocated to rail projects will be utilized more effectively.
Commuting passengers will benefit from shorter journey times, increased frequency and capacity and more efficient rail operations, but they will not be the only beneficiaries. The faster more frequent services will be able to contribute to improved logistics for commerce and industry. Most of all the infrastructure sector is set to benefit as technology in incorporated into more aspects of railway development and upgrades and the pipeline of work expands to accommodate these changes.

Summer can take a serious toll on your foundation – from causing powder to cake to making your foundation transfer onto your sunglasses and everything else your face touches. If you live somewhere that experiences both ultra cold and super warm weather, chances are that you just can't get away with using the same foundation throughout summer that you do in the winter. That's okay, though, because we've compiled a short list to help you find your best foundation for summer.
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation comes in a large variety of shades and has a consistency perfect for the summer's warmth. I recommend applying it with a dampened Beauty Blender or other domed sponge for a flawless finish and lightweight coverage. It'll even out your skin tone without clogging your pores, and appears to just melt into your skin, providing just the right amount of coverage with a very small amount of product. I recommend using Make Up For Ever HD Finishing Powder to set it, or any other ultra fine powder that is talc-free.
Although this lightweight, luminous formula foundation from Yves Saint Laurent is a little pricey – it's worth it if you're able to splurge. Your skin will look glowing all day long with just the right amount of coverage. The foundation comes with a built-in SPF 19, so you'll be both protected and gorgeous.
If your skin's feeling dried out and you love an SPF/foundation mix – this tinted moisturizer is for you. A little goes a long way with this product, and it blends like a dream. It'll leave you with sheer coverage and a natural glow, so you can spend less time worrying about your complexion and more time enjoying the summer sun. We love this product for all the beach babes out there!
Clinique is the choice for sensitive faces and those looking for more affordable yet high quality products. Their Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer is no exception. Yet again, a little goes a long way and will give you an even complexion, natural appearance, and that "no makeup" look everyone tries for in the summer.

How much do you think the largest U.S. Corporations pay in taxes?
Posted August 7th, 2012 by LuAnn Bean & filed under Accounting Principles, All Articles, Cost Accounting, IFRS, International Accounting, Managerial Accounting.
In a year of presidential politics, many of America's biggest corporations complain that they pay too much in taxes. But, how much is that? A recent analysis shows that many are actually getting off pretty easy. It turns out that the 10 most profitable U.S. companies only paid an average federal tax rate of 9 percent last year. This group of companies includes Exxon Mobil, Apple, Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase and General Electric.
1. According to Travis Waldron, which company complained that it paid too much in taxes, yet paid zero for 2008 through 2011? Explain briefly how this could happen.
2. How does the U.S. effective tax rate compare to those in other developed countries around the world?
3. The article by Eichler presents a slide show for each company and lists Tax Provision and Actual Taxes Paid. Explain the difference.
4. Which company surprised you most about the amount of taxes that they paid to foreign countries? Explain.

Equitable warns former officials
By Paul Armstrong
Updated: 19:00 EST, 28 November 2001
THE prospect of Equitable Life suing its former directors and advisers grew today when the troubled insurer revealed its internal investigation had produced a string of 'serious concerns'.
Equitable has written to 20 former directors, former auditors Ernst & Young and former lawyers Denton Wilde Sapte, warning them it will sue if it does not receive satisfactory answers. It is believed to have set a 31 January deadline for responses.
Former directors sent the letters include Jennie Page, Peter Sedgwick, Christopher Headdon and Manchester United chairman Professor Sir Roland Smith.
The insurer said Herbert Smith, the City law firm that conducted the investigation, had uncovered a 'number of issues of concern'. Accountant PricewaterhouseCoopers had also unveiled 'serious concerns' in its investigation of Ernst & Young's role.
But Equitable said it would await the findings of the Treasury-appointed Penrose inquiry into its affairs before deciding whether to pursue legal action against the regulators.
'These are clearly very serious matters,' chairman Vanni Treves said in a letter to Equitable policyholders. 'Your board has not taken these actions lightly.'
Those named in the letters were directors or advisers to Equitable at various times between 1993 and last year, when the insurer closed to new business.

Animals in Qatar
The Gulf State of Qatar is home to a beautiful yet limited animal ark. Wild animals living in the country's arid desert terrain include exotic species such as dromedary camels, and the Oryx, a large antelope with long straight almost upright or swept back horns.
The decline in critical marine habitats in the coastal areas is part of the Qatar's preservation mission. The deep sea waters nearest to the country's coast are still inhabited by tropical species. Coral reefs, inter-tidal salt marshes, mangroves and sea-grass kelp beds grow across the coast. Macro-invertebrates living in the intertidal waters of Qatar are comprised of common marine species like the Mollusca.
Marine species living in the Arabian Gulf are growing scarce due to consumption and climate conditions. At present, there are approximately 150 species of fish recorded on record. The richest biome of aquatic life is in north east of Qatar on the Arabia Sea. Carangids, emperors,
snappers and sweet lips are abundant with a smaller population of
barracudas,
goatfish,
groupers,
lizard fish, rabbit fish, shark and thread fins.
Due to the extremity of the climate, there is intense focus on animal husbandry. Camels constitute 21% of Qatar's livestock farming comparative to cattle ranching of 29% of similar activities. The country's domestic livestock holdings also include sheep herding of 3 to 1,500 heads, and goat herding of 5 to 650 heads at each farm. Domestic food production is the basis for intensification of livestock animals in Qatar. Aside from the market in fish, sheep and calf production is essential to Qatar's national consumption.

In the mathematical field of differential geometry, the Levi-Civita parallelogramoid is a quadrilateral in a curved space whose construction generalizes that of a parallelogram in the Euclidean plane.  It is named for its discoverer, Tullio Levi-Civita. Like a parallelogram, two opposite sides AA′ and BB′ of a parallelogramoid are parallel (via parallel transport  side AB) and the same length as each other, but the fourth side A′B′ will not in general be parallel to or the same length as the side AB, although it will be straight (a geodesic).

Construction
A parallelogram in Euclidean geometry can be constructed as follows:
 Start with a straight line segment AB and another straight line segment AA′.
 Slide the segment AA′ along AB to the endpoint B, keeping the angle with AB constant, and remaining in the same plane as the points A, A′, and B.
 Label the endpoint of the resulting segment B′ so that the segment is BB′.
 Draw a straight line A′B′.

In a curved space, such as a Riemannian manifold or more generally any manifold equipped with an affine connection, the notion of "straight line" generalizes to that of a geodesic.  In a suitable neighborhood (such as a ball in a normal coordinate system), any two points can be joined by a geodesic.  The idea of sliding the one straight line along the other gives way to the more general notion of parallel transport.  Thus, assuming either that the manifold is complete, or that the construction is taking place in a suitable neighborhood, the steps to producing a Levi-Civita parallelogram are:
 Start with a geodesic AB and another geodesic AA′.  These geodesics are assumed to be parameterized by their arclength in the case of a Riemannian manifold, or to carry a choice of affine parameter in the general case of an affine connection.
 "Slide" (parallel transport) the tangent vector of AA′ from A to B.
 The resulting tangent vector at B generates a geodesic via the exponential map.  Label the endpoint of this geodesic by B′, and the geodesic itself BB′.
 Connect the points A′ and B′ by the geodesic A′B′.

Quantifying the difference from a parallelogram
The length of this last geodesic constructed connecting the remaining points A′B′ may in general be different than the length of the base AB.  This difference is measured by the Riemann curvature tensor.  To state the relationship precisely, let AA′ be the exponential of a tangent vector X at A, and AB the exponential of a tangent vector Y at A. Then

where terms of higher order in the length of the sides of the parallelogram have been suppressed.

Discrete approximation

Parallel transport can be discretely approximated by Schild's ladder, which approximates Levi-Civita parallelogramoids by approximate parallelograms.

The Adamawa Fulani of Cameroon
Population: 4,000,000
Christians: 0.85%
The Adamawa Fulani are a sub-group of the Fulani nation who live in the Adamawa plateau of Nigeria and Cameroon. They are an important part of the economy of Cameroon, providing most of the nation's dairy products. This distinguishes them from the tribes who do not milk their cattle. Over the years, some of the Adamawa Fulani have advanced from being exclusively shepherds to being scholarly, influential leaders in their communities.
While Fulani children are still infants, marriages are arranged for them by their parents. The Fulani have an unusual way of initiating boys into manhood. The young boys must beat each other across the chest with walking sticks while showing no signs of pain. Throughout the rest of their lives, these scars are proudly shown as signs of courage.
There are many "taboos" within their culture: they are forbidden to call a first-born son or daughter by name; when in public, wives must stay at a distance but are watched over by their husbands; and goat meat may not be eaten and beef is only eaten at formal ceremonies.
Prayer Points:
• The Adamawa Fulani declared a jihad against the non-Muslim peoples in the Adamawa region in the 19th century, resulting in their enslavement. It was only through the work of missionaries that these peoples were liberated. PRAY that the spirit of oppression might be bound over the Fulani and that they might find forgiveness in Jesus.
• The Adamawa region is rugged and sparsely populated by nomadic Fulani bands, who migrate seasonally for their herds. PRAY for committed missionaries who are willing to live among them and see the church emerge in this nomadic context.
• The Scriptures are now complete in the Adamawa dialect and gospel radio broadcasts are now bearing fruit among them. PRAY for effective follow-up for those who have expressed interest in knowing more about Jesus.
Every year 36,000 Adamawa Fulani die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime.

B.E. TECHNOLOGY, L.L.C. v. FACEBOOK, INC.
Category: CAFC Updates
B.E. Technology filed suit accusing Facebook of infringing certain claims U.S. Patent 6,628,314 relating to methods and apparatus for providing an automatically upgradeable software application that includes targeted advertising. Approximately a year into the case, Facebook filed multiple petitions for inter partes review of the asserted claims and the district court stayed its proceedings pending the out-come of the Board's review. The Board instituted review of the '314 patent and held the asserted claims unpatentable. Facebook then moved in the district court for judgment on the pleadings, seeking a dismissal with prejudice and costs. B.E. agreed that dismissal was appropriate but argued that the claims should be dismissed for mootness, rather than with prejudice. The district court initially agreed with B.E., but when Facebook renewed its motion for costs, the Clerk of Court taxed $4,424.20 in costs against B.E., with the court affirming because although the case was dismissed for mootness, Face-book "obtained the outcome it sought: rebuffing B.E.'s attempt to alter the parties' legal relationship." B.E. appeals arguing that, because the case was dismissed as moot based on the Board's decision, Facebook did not "prevail" in the district court. The CAFC disagrees and affirms the finding that Facebook was the "prevailing party". Judge Plager concurs in an interestingly short opinion.

Johnny Connor set to leave Coronation Street as photos suggest he died
The family will be heartbroken
Emma Costello
Coronation Street fans will be devastated to learn that Johnny Connor may be the next favourite to leave the show.
The father has had a rough few months.
He lost his son Aidan, played by Shayne Ward, through suicide and he then ran off with Eva Price's daughter.
But now it seems that his own story is coming to an end, fans suspect.
Coronation Street fans notice these two characters look alike and they are actually related in related in real life
The Express reports that Kym Marsh, who stars as Michelle Connor, was spotted filming funeral scenes.
While it's not known who's funeral she's attending, the publication suggest that it may very well be Johnny's funeral she's at.
He recently suffered a health scare due to his MS and his life appears to be spiralling out of control.
(Image: ITV / Coronation Street)
Johnny's health scare came about after he kidnapped his granddaughter, Susie, from her mother, Eva, who had the baby with his son Aidan.
Aidan tragically took his own life in one of the most heartbreaking storylines in the ITV show.
His death shattered the Connor family and they are still grieving in recent epsiodes.
QUIZ: Name these iconic characters
Alison King breaks silence on rumours
Barbara Knox in axe fears
Sue Cleaver reveals weight loss
Hiding the fact she was pregnant with Aidan's baby, Eva gave birth to Susie and gave her away to Torah Battersby, so that the landlady could raise the baby as her own with Peter Barlow.
However, the truth was dramatically exposed when Eva realised she wanted to be a part of Susie's life, having lost her chance to reconcile with Aidan.
Corrie's Catherine Tyldesley hints at taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing
When Liz McDonald discovered Johny's whereabouts, she pleaded with him to hand the baby back to her mother.
But shortly after he did, the grieving father collapsed and was rushed straight to hospital.
On his release, Eva decided to drop the charges and the two made peace during Aidan's inquest, before Eva left the street to begin a new life in France.
Coronation Street continues weeknights on TV3 and ITV.

Сергей Павлович Худорожков (2 января 1962, Пермь, СССР) — советский и российский футболист, полузащитник. Мастер спорта. Обладатель Кубка РСФСР 1987 года.

Карьера
Воспитанник пермской школы «Прикамье». Первый тренер Борис Баранов, тренер А. Н. Лыков.. В 15 лет Худорожков на зональном турнире первенства СССР среди юношей в Кургане был признан лучшим полузащитником и был принят в ленинградский спортинтернат. Выступал за команду «Светлана» в первенстве города и в 1979 году был приглашён в дубль «Зенита» к Павлу Садырину. Состоял в ВЛКСМ.

В 1980 году Худорожков провёл два матча в чемпионате страны — 26 июня вышел в гостевом матче с донецким «Шахтёром» при счёте 2:5 в пользу хозяев на 81 минуте, а 1 июля сыграл первые 23 минуты в гостях с «Локомотивом» Москва. Весной 1981 Худорожкова за нарушение спортивного режима и конфликт с одним из тренеров отчислили из «Зенита» и дисквалифицировали на год. До конца года он тренировался со «Светланой», а в 1982 году был приглашён тренером Геннадием Бондаренко в «Звезду» Пермь.

В январе 1987 года Худорожков прошёл неудачный просмотр в московском «Спартаке» у Константина Бескова, а через два года был приглашён в вышедший в высшую лигу «Ротор» Петром Шубиным, работавшим прежде у Бескова. Худорожков сыграл за команду пять матчей, но пришедший новый главный тренер Александр Севидов и небольшая травма вынудили его вернуться в Пермь. В итоге за «Звезду» провёл в первенствах страны 428 матчей, забил 81 мяч (по другим данным — 430 матчей, 87 мячей).

В 1995 году перешёл в «Амкар», за который играл три года. Последним профессиональным клубом стало «Динамо» Пермь в 1998 году.

Семья
Сыновья Андрей (1984) и Сергей (1985) — футбольные арбитры.
