"I have wet and heavy clay which means I need to raise my beds in order to promote proper drainage.
I was thinking of bringing in topsoil, manure and compost and just mixing it together right on top of the existing soil. The existing soil has grass right now.
Since I've received quite a few emails along these lines, I decided to answer my reader's email via this post for the benefit of all readers who may have similar questions. Also, there's an important comment I'd like to make regarding purchased soils.
Although I can't tell other folks what to do in detail because only they know all the facts of their situation, I can advise people on principles of nature. Nature's a pretty dependable source and her principles are foundational truths that apply to everyone, everywhere.
What makes things even better is that although her laws/principles are fixed, the methods to accomplish what those laws and principles require are endless. Each person can tailor the methods to their own needs and situation. After you have all the facts, then you can choose your preferred method of carrying out the plan.
(You will recall I discussed this at greater length in a recent post Organic Organic Gardening the Laws /Principles are Fixed/ the Methods are Endless.
MY COMMENTS TO: I have wet and heavy clay which means I need to raise my beds in order to promote proper drainage.
Although I'm not 100% sure, I would probably have a 99% chance of being correct if I said that by "raised beds" my reader means framed beds that purchased material will be poured into.
In my book, I explained at great length about naturally "raised beds" and why they are preferable to framed raised beds in the majority of cases. I also listed times that framed raised beds may be helpful or necessary.
Adding organic matter to the soil improves drainage. The quickest way to improve hard clay soil is to properly prepare the soil which involves loosening the soil. If you have the time to wait, you can pile things on top and eventually the soil will become friable and drain well. It'll take some time.
The "added" ingredients (hopefully) may drain at least to the hard clay soil. Drainage has really not been improved.
My first garden was one foot above sea level and heavy clay soil. Much of the area looked like a pond in the rainy season. It was brick-hard in the dry season. I told in detail exactly how I dealt with that in my post 3 Things of Primary Importance When Starting a Garden.
When clay soil is improved it's just about the best soil there is. I saw a difference immediately after I improved my clay-soil beds, but it took about 3 years to really get to where I wanted to be with the soil.
MY COMMENTS TO: I was thinking of bringing in topsoil, manure and compost and just mixing it together right on top of the existing soil. The existing soil has grass right now.
Years ago, "topsoil" meant the first few inches of good soil that was high in organic matter. I think most of us think in those terms when we speak of topsoil.
Unfortunately, when you buy something called "topsoil" today, it may not be what you think it is. It's very common for some sellers of these "soils" to take heavy clay soil and put it through a machine that cuts it up and makes it look and feel friable. The buyer doesn't realize he's been "had" until he gets the soil where he wants it and it rains. Then he knows he has unimproved clay soil, not topsoil.
The bottom line here is: be careful what you buy. Know the seller well if possible. Ask a lot questions. Do your homework.
Good if you can get stuff without residual herbicides. Always a good idea to do your homework before you spend your money.
I touched on this previously. Bill, after you read all my information on how to properly prepare soil and the advantages of that, you can better make your decision.
The only time I would recommend a tiller is when ground is first being prepared. (Like now, Bill, if you decided that is what you are going to do.) After that, if you follow nature, there is no need to till ever again.
Proper soil preparation is one of the best things you can do to help yourself be more successful in organic gardening.

I usually enjoy your posts very much–but found this one lacking. In my opinion, if you're going to answer reader questions, answer them, at least briefly, in the space and add links to expand on the details. This post had too many links, and, for those of us who follow religiously, could have been a nice, brief refresher. But, in its current form, it poses a tedious task that I probably won't find time to get to. I would have liked to know, briefly, what you did to the clay over the years to make it "just about the best soil there is." Was it simply the addition of organic material, or was there more? If so, I may want to be sure I find time to check out all those links.
Thank you so much for the great work you do and for sharing information. I intend to continue following and recommending your work, and I hope you find my comments useful.
Thanks, I have clay and it has formed a brick…wish I knew you before I had wooden raised bed made for me! Will do this your (nature's) way my garden goddess!
Yes Connie, I did find your comments useful.
And it would be a tedious task to follow all those links. But for the reader who asked the questions, it would be needed for him to get the information necessary to make a better decision about what he wanted to do. Learning and getting the information you need, can at times be tedious.
It's definitely a different post that what I usually put up. Also, I usually put related posts at the end – but in this case I wanted Bill (who asked the questions) to know specifically that for more information he should read those posts.
Made me smile again Karen!
Don, a friend and reader in Michigan emailed be with comments about this post.
I wanted to share part of what he said because he brought up two excellent points.
My thoughts: Yes, there is always a time for anything including raised beds. And of course, one of those reasons is just because the person likes the look. Depends on your purpose and what you like and want to do – as with anything.
Don brought up another excellent point about if Bill (my new reader) raised the beds high enough wouldn't that be the same as deep preparation.
I don't think anything takes the place of deep soil preparation. Think in terms of good, better, and best. Then take your pick.
The hidden dangers of topsoil: I bought a load of topsoil a contractor friend had been scraping off his own property to make pathways. It looked great when I saw it in the early spring. After spreading it in my garden, I discovered in a month that it was, hands down, full of more weeds than anything I have ever seen (no wonder he was scraping it off). It has taken me more than two years, and I am still not done cleaning it. What a waste of time!
My heavy clay soil (which is also chock full of rocks) has been slowly improving with the addition of manure each year for the last five years. but I am not gonna lie – I still love my raised beds where I used bagged soil best!! No weeds, no rocks, just lovely dirt! And my carrots grow without going all wonky from trying to burrow around rocks!
You're one of the lucky ones who got some good stuff when buying bagged soil.
How easy it is to come to expect Theresa to do all the hard work, and to present it exactly as we would like to see it. How easy it is to forget the amount of time and energy that goes into answering questions and researching posts for the blog – not to mention the actual gardening, photography, etc. Oh yes, and all the other stuff that life may be throwing her way at the time. Thanks Theresa for your hard work and for your gracious response to us regardless of our expectations. There is so much content buried in this blog, that it is well worth visiting these links, and it would be a lot of extra work (for Theresa) to restate what has already been written.

The Podcasting Millennials in Cedar Rapids Who Keep Scoring Interviews With 2020 Candidates
By root	 Last updated Mar 22, 2019
Putting a big person in a small venue is still a staple of Presidential-campaign politics. The senator in the coffee shop. The governor in the living room. Especially in the early-voting primary states—Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina—candidates still practice retail politics, even as the Internet and cable news have enabled them, from the jump, to run always-on national campaigns. This helps explain how, in the early weeks of the race for the 2020 Democratic nomination, "Political Party Live," a two-year-old podcast produced by a group of young Iowans, with an average listenership of just a few hundred people, found itself hosting Presidential contenders.
Last Friday afternoon, Stacey Walker, one of the show's hosts, was looking over the Cedar Rapids venue where, a few hours later, he and his co-host, Simeon Talley, would record an episode with Beto O'Rourke in front of an audience. The venue's staff—the event was happening in a novelty apparel store called Raygun—was setting up chairs. O'Rourke's campaign staff was walking in and out. They had relayed a request from O'Rourke: the candidate wanted to share a beer with the hosts before the show. "He's adamant about getting a drink," Walker, who holds an elected position on the local county's board of supervisors, told his co-host. "Before?" Talley said, amazed.
Walker, who, at thirty-one, is earnest, assertive, and well-liked in Iowa Democratic politics, talked about how this all had come about. Last Tuesday, he got a text from Norm Sterzenbach, a veteran Iowa political hand with whom he's worked in the past. Sterzenbach was preparing to act as a kind of political tour guide to O'Rourke when he visited the state to kick off his Presidential campaign, and he wanted to know if Walker would like to have the candidate on "Political Party Live." "And I was, like, 'Yeah, man. When were you thinking?' " Walker said. "And he was, like, 'Friday.' "
In February, a similar set of circumstances brought Kamala Harris to the show. Harris's Iowa campaign chair, Deidre DeJear, is an old friend of Walker's—they met at Drake University, in Des Moines, when both were members of the school's small black-student union. (Last year, DeJear became the first African-American nominated for statewide office in Iowa, when she ran for Secretary of State as a Democrat.) DeJear talked to Walker about the senator coming on the show during her first full swing through the state. In between Harris and O'Rourke's appearances, Andrew Yang, the former tech entrepreneur running a long-shot campaign as a champion of universal basic income and "human centered" capitalism, appeared on the show. "I have a feeling our listenership is going to grow this year," Walker said.
Up is the only direction the show could really go, in terms of listenership. "Political Party Live" grew out of a conversation among a small group of activists and political types in the wake of the 2016 Iowa caucuses. Many, including Walker and Talley, were veterans of Barack Obama's campaigns in Iowa. ("The remnants of 2008 and 2012 are definitely an added advantage for our state," DeJear told me. "That's a part of President Obama's legacy.") They wanted to encourage voters, especially younger voters, to stay engaged with politics all the time. And, in a state that is more than ninety per cent white and getting increasingly conservative, they wanted to provide an outlet for nonwhite voices and to promote progressive issues. They began throwing parties that featured political discussions. Then they started recording the discussions.
The hosts don't pretend to be journalists. Walker and Talley (who is thirty-five and owns an upscale-goods-and-crafts store in Iowa City) originally had a third co-host, Misty Rebik, a community organizer. But she took a hiatus from the show just before the O'Rourke taping—she'd been tapped to be Bernie Sanders's Iowa campaign chair. "We are not Charlie Rose. We're not NPR. We're not HBO Vice, though, right?" Walker said. "We're short of that, but we're kind of in that middle ground somewhere—where most of our questions are going to be policy-specific, policy-driven. But you're going to get questions about, 'What are you reading right now?' "
Yet both the Harris and the O'Rourke episodes made news. Harris's comments about a former San Francisco policy that resulted in undocumented kids who had been arrested being reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement were later interrogated by CNN. And O'Rourke used his appearance on the show as an opportunity to apologize for a joke he'd made about his wife, Amy, raising their children "sometimes with my help." Race also featured in both episodes, in ways that don't always happen during Iowa campaign stops. "We make up about three per cent of the population, but, like, a quarter of the jail and prison population in the state," Walker said. "That's an issue for Iowa. I'm sure it's probably an issue in other states, but we've got to take care of that."
Campaigns need venues, and "Political Party Live" 's sudden prominence (a relative term; most people I asked about the show at campaign stops around Iowa this weekend hadn't heard of the show) has a lot to do with its ability to get a few hundred Iowans into the same room at the same time. Whether it can become a fixture of primary season, like Iowa Starting Line, a political news blog run by a former Democratic campaign staffer named Pat Rynard, is a question. Walker—who currently funds the episodes mostly out of his own pocket, with each one costing around three to five hundred dollars—is thinking about different revenue models. "We've got some customer discovery we have to do," he said. "We make no bones about it; we're trying to elevate progressive voices."

Editor's note: "The Spoken Word" is shared by Lloyd Newell each Sunday during the weekly Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcast. This will be given Oct. 29, 2017.
In the 1830s, the noted writer Thomas Carlyle learned this truth in a dramatic way. He had embarked on a multiyear effort to write a massive literary work on the French Revolution. Upon finishing the first volume, he gave the manuscript to his friend John Stuart Mill to read. Mill's servant, however, mistaking the pages for trash, used the manuscript to start a fire (see "The Voracious Pen of Thomas Carlyle," by Meredith Hindley, Humanities, March-April 2009, on neh.gov). When Carlyle learned of this blunder, he was devastated. Years of hard work had literally gone up in flames! How would he ever rewrite it?
Legend has it that one day, Carlyle saw a mason building a wall, carefully laying one brick at a time. Carlyle took new courage. He could rewrite his book, the same way he wrote it the first time — one page at a time (see Clyde E. Nichols' "Lift Up Your Eyes," published in 2011).
Like Carlyle's book, life is a monumental, long-term work. Just about everything good in life is built little by little, brick by brick — with patience and persistence. Success, happiness, contentment and strong relationships don't happen overnight. They take time: time to make things right, time to mend and heal, time to learn and improve.
It's comforting to note that the great God of heaven is a God of patience and long-suffering. If he can be patient with us, we would do well to be patient with ourselves.
So we stay with it, day after day, and do our best to carry on. Whether it's writing a book, planting a garden, overcoming a weakness or building a friendship, we keep at it. Albert Einstein said, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer" (see "Your Daily Walk with the Great Minds: Wisdom and Enlightenment of the Past and Present," by Richard A. Singer Jr., published in 2006). Persistence and patience will not make problems go away, but as we've all witnessed and experienced, they can give us the power and the hope to face our problems.
The "Music and the Spoken Word" broadcast is available on KSL-TV, KSL Radio 1160 AM/102.7 FM, ksl.com, KSL X-stream, BYU-TV, BYU Radio, BYU-TV International, CBS Radio Network, Dish Network, DirecTV, SiriusXM Radio (Channel 143), mormontabernaclechoir.org and youtube.com/mormontabchoir.

Yes, the Cleveland Cavaliers are officially one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals after last night's Game 5 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Yes, they put themselves in this position thanks to a purely dominant LeBron James, coupled with a gutsy performance from Kyrie Irving. There is certainly reason for Cleveland fans to be excited this morning (well, cautiously excited, it's Cleveland sports after all).
That said, if the Cavs want to finish off this series Thursday night, there's still some room to improve. And, if you're looking for the biggest issue, it's Cleveland's attempt to hold on to sizable leads late in the game.

Noa Zimmerman makes headlines with 'Night's Gentle Crash'
Andrew Hout
Singer-songwriter senior Noa Zimmerman's new album, "Night's Gentle Crash," shows her rising career with its soothing rhythm and calm vocals.
This is no High School Musical pop album―it's an accumulation of musical styles, all used to portray Zimmerman's perception of young love.
"Night's Gentle Crash" was released Feb. 25 and is Zimmerman's fourth album. The 11-track-studio produced album utilizes her guitar and singing skills, which are accompanied by percussion sounds and bass guitar.
The album depicts Zimmerman's frustration with relationships and the overall pain that can result from letting too far into your life.
"The general message is that the more vulnerable you are with someone the more they have the capacity to hurt you, so the album is about understanding that and knowing how much you should let a person in because it is difficult to deal with when it goes badly," Zimmerman said.
Some of the album's songs including, "Night's Gentle Crash," "When I'm Alone with You" and "So What Now" help her display these vivid feelings in a range of musical styles. In "Night's Gentle Crash" her lyrical story coexists with the acoustic guitar in a manner to show what she is truly feeling.
"I was able to do a lot of it in a studio so I had a lot of resources available to me that I never had before," Zimmerman said.
In addition to her instrumental ability, Zimmerman displays incredible songwriting talent. She saturates her songs with powerful imagery that provides a picture of what's going on inside her mind. Like many popular artists, Zimmerman's capacity to sing her own written songs adds an extra genuine layer to her work that makes her an even more skillful artist.
"I've been writing 'Night's Gentle Crash' since a few years ago, but the production itself didn't start until the beginning of last summer and then we started working on it together in July to put it out in February," Zimmerman said.
One commanding skill that is spread throughout Zimmerman's new album is her ability to incorporate a variety of genres. For example, the song "Burning Away" combines a blues-like melody with an alternative beat. The song "So What Now" additionally uses a fingerpicking guitar technique that gives the tune a unique sound.
While most of Zimmerman's songs are the type that one would lay in solitude to listen to, some, like "Your Love" or "I Tried," are more upbeat.
Nothing about this album is repetitive in any sense of the word. Each track is different from the last, but still draws back to the the main theme of relationships and trust. The songs vary from folk to pop to alternative while never straying too far from Zimmerman's style.
Zimmerman's skills have landed her a spot at USC's Thornton School of Music, where she will be able to harness all of her abilities and use them for the variety of opportunities the school provides.
"Night's Gentle Crash" will build momentum for Zimmerman's future music career and may be looked back upon as her emergence onto the music scene.
Along with her Advanced Performance Workshop concerts, Zimmerman has started playing her album at separate venues. Zimmerman is playing next this Sunday at Soul Studios in Fairfax. She is also excited about her summer gig at the Fairfax Festival on June 11 at 1:30 p.m. on the Redwood Stage.

History has confirmed that there was no time that the forces of the righteous and that of the evil are of the same strength. The righteous ones are always weaker in the physical strength but stronger in faith & determination. This will lead to a ceaseless Jihad as the holy master (Prophet Muhamad) said "some group of my followers will never cease fighting for the establishment of the truth (& justice), they don't mind the condemnation/accusation of others TILL THE END OF TIME".
Therefore, only justice can bring an end to Jihad.


A potential continuing resolution for the next fiscal year would constrain $20.4 billion of the Navy's FY-20 budget, according to the service's acquisition chief.
"That is for FY-20. If we have a CR the entire year, there's $20.4 billion of effort we are not going to be able to execute," Navy Assistant Secretary for Research, Development and Acquisition Hondo Geurts told the Senate Armed Services seapower subcommittee yesterday.
Geurts told lawmakers a continuing resolution would limit $9.9 billion in growing programs. It would also restrict approximately $5.3 billion for increased production rates and $5.2 billion in new-start programs, he added.
"And it's not just programs. It's people. It's depot workers. It's [a] highly trained workforce that if there's uncertainty, they're going to move to different jobs," Geurts said.
"[W]e'll not only lose either those workforces in the depots or on the flight lines or in programs, the chance to recover them will have kind of a lasting multiplier affect," he continued.
Geurts' remarks follow the Pentagon's delayed budget rollout caused by the government shutdown earlier this year. The Defense Department had been slated to present its budget request in early February, but the unveiling slipped to mid-March.
Defense officials often balk at the prospects of a continuing resolution, arguing a stop-gap bill would damage military readiness.
Geurts, in addition to raising alarm about the possibility of a CR, confirmed the potential $20.4 billion impact is about 10 percent of the Navy's topline $205.6 billion request.
"And it's big platforms like the additional submarine we're trying to get underway, additional destroyer we have planned. It is our helicopter replacement system so we can train pilots for all of our helicopter fleets," he said.
"It's our new frigate, based on the testimony yesterday that [Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson] had, that's a game changer for us," Geurts added.


It isn't cool enough that Pedro Barros has an amazing bowl in his backyard. No, he also gets to have legendary skaters like Duane Peters, Christian Hosoi and Jeff Grosso over for the weekend.
Barros' backyard bowl in Florianpolis, Brazil, hosted the second Red Bull Skate Generation, an invitational showcase of cross-generational skateboarding skills. Hundreds packed the place to see guys like Hosoi compete with seasoned pros and up-and-coming amateurs.
Twenty skaters were divided into five teams, each with a legend, a pro, a pro master and an amateur. The competition was intense, coming down to a fight between Barros' local crew and a team led by six-time vert champ Sandro Dias.
Barros made full use of his home field advantage, unloading a barrage of towering aerials and slick tricks to lead teammates Hosoi, Leo Kakinho and Felipe Caltabiano to victory.

Morley Personalities
Personalities discussed
Herbert Henry Asquith
Beryl Burton
Bobby Peel
Jack Shooter
Herbert Henry Asquith (Politician)
Herbert Henry Asquith, the Liberal Politician, was born in Morley on September 12th, 1852. His father was a local cloth manufacturer and the family lived at Croft House – a listed dwelling still to be found on Church Street in the town. The Asquiths were non-conformists and they attended the Rehoboth Chapel on Dawson Hill. This is now demolished but its graveyard, although overgrown, still exists and it contains the graves of members of his family. In later life Mr Asquith said that he could remember a magnificent parade in 1856 in the town to celebrate the ending of the Boer War.
The Asquith family had many roots in Morley but his father and mother left the town when he was 4 years old, to live in nearby Mirfield. Even so, and perhaps because of these roots, the town followed his illustrious career with great interest. It is just over 100 years since he became Prime Minister in April 1908 and his government introduced many high-reaching social reforms. His premiership ended in 1916 during World War 1 but many scholars such as Roy Jenkins have found him a public figure well worthy of study.
This busy and accomplished man, who enjoyed the social life of London as well as the political cut and thrust, still found time for his birthplace and his visits, when he had attained national acclaim, have had important local consequences. In 1895 he opened the newly-built Town Hall and in 1913 he accepted the Freedom of the Borough. These will be dealt with in depth elsewhere. In 1906 as Chancellor of the Exchequer of the new Liberal Government he told a packed house in the Town Hall of his plans for the future and was greeted rapturously.
16-October-1895 – Henry Asquith opens the Town Hall
He was ever-willing to help the town when he could, giving important support to the opening of a local Magistrate's Court in 1893 and encouraging, at a time of great personal pressure during World War 1, George Wood's history of Morley.
Shortly after he died on February 15th, 1928, his colleague and friend, the Liberal MP Sir William Middlebrook arranged that a memorial bust be erected in the Town Hall to celebrate his life and achievements. His daughter, the writer and broadcaster Violet Bonham Carter gladly gave information about her beloved father and she continued the link, first made when her father received the Freedom of the town, for much of her life.
Beryl Burton OBE (Cyclist)
She was born Beryl Charnock in Leeds on 12 May 1937, and suffered from rheumatic fever as a child, resulting in speech difficulties. She left Stainbeck secondary school at fifteen, and went to work as a clerk in a clothing factory where she met Charlie Burton, eight years her senior. They married in 1955 and Charlie introduced her to club cycling and then competitive racing, a sport that she dominated for over quarter of a century by winning fifteen world championship medals and 120 British national titles.
For her achievements, Beryl was awarded the MBE in 1964 and an OBE four years later, but in Britain few heard of her outstanding success due to the poor coverage given to women's cycling by the media.The Burtons were not well off, and had to finance many of her early trips abroad themselves, but she refused to turn professional. Charlie worked as an accounts clerk and spent much of his time managing his wife's cycling career, while Beryl earned some income and kept fit by working in local market gardens and rhubarb farms. She also stayed loyal to Morley cycling club, even though it was never sponsored by the cycle industry.
Mural in the Beryl Burton Gardens, Central Morley
In 1988, she won her last national title, but continued to ride in national championships because she loved the sport, and was scheduled to ride in the national 10 mile time trial the day before her fifty-ninth birthday. Sadly, on 5 May 1996 she died of natural causes during a training run and was found lying beside her bike in Skipton Road, Harrogate. She was survived by her husband, Charlie, and daughter, Denise.
Robert (Bobby) Peel (Test & County cricketer)
Born in Churwell on 12 February 1857, Bobby Peel was one of the finest all round cricketers of any time. Primarily a slow left-arm bowler, he first played for Yorkshire in 1882, but it was several years before he achieved distinction. For nine seasons, he regularly took over 100 wickets, his county total amounting to 1,550 at an average of 15 runs each. Against Somerset in 1895, he took 15 wickets in 36 overs for 5 runs, nine for 22 in one innings, causing a sensation. His full return in bowling in first-class cricket was 1,754 wickets at an average of 16.21 runs each. He played for England twenty times against Australia, travelling there in 1884-5, 1887-8, 1891-2 and 1894-5, and in Test matches he took 102 wickets for less than 17 runs each. At Sydney in 1894, thanks to his efforts, England gained an extraordinary win by 10 runs after facing a total of 586, which at the time was a record for these Tests.
As a batsman, Bobby Peel scored over 11,000 runs for Yorkshire, including two centuries. His highest innings was 226 not out against Leicestershire in 1892, and he contributed 210 not out in a Yorkshire score of 887 against Warwickshire in 1896, a total which is still a county match record.
In 1897, Lord Hawke sent him off the field during a game at Bramall Lane, following which he was suspended for the remainder of that season, and did not play for Yorkshire again. His benefit match at Bradford in 1894 realised £2,000, and he died in Morley, aged 84, on 12 August 1941.

Wiregrass Mall's manager and security are to be commended for protecting the public and for not allowing animal abuse on their property. DCWT has been prohibited from exhibiting at Get Rescued in Gulfport because of her verbal assault on the Education Directors from Big Cat Rescue. I have had to deal with her hurling hateful vulgarities at me when ever I attend FWC meetings. Big Cat Rescue opposes the private possession of these magnificent cats and is active in changing the laws (not breaking them) to protect habitat and restrict the captive breeding, abuse and abandonment of big cats.
Those who make their money from the abuse just hate Big Cat Rescue. Many claim to rescue animals, but do not require the owners to quit buying, breeding or selling more like we do now.* They do not want the problem to go away because they would then have no one paying attention to them and that is the only reason one takes a tiger out on a leash. Big Cat Rescue's goal is to put ourselves out of business by striking at the root of the problem.
You can help by sending photos of people breaking the laws in FL to Big Cat Rescue. Contact is not allowed with big cats after they reach 25 lbs. A 4 month old tiger would have been required to be kept behind safety barriers. A leash is not a barrier. Any photos you have of this violation should be sent to Big Cat Rescue and the FWC.
* I realize, after posting, that this sentence was poorly stated and what I was trying to say is that Big Cat Rescue requires owners to give up their licenses, and stop breeding, buying and/or selling before we will rescue their cat from them. More about our Acquisition Policies here:

Kathy Stearns obviously understands that bad press is better than no press and will probably continue to behave badly in public as long as it gets her the attention she so desperately craves. The Tampa Tribune interviewed Scott Lope about this incident, but being the voice of reason, he wasn't quoted and the article even ended with a pitch about how to support Dade City Wild Things. That is a sad commentary on both what sells papers and what keeps donations coming in to pseudo sanctuaries. IT really is worth your time to contact the reporter and let her know that you do not approve of this kind of animal abuse AND especially contact the Wiregrass Mall manager and security and let them know that they did the right thing for the animals and for their reputation.

Tiger cub raised ruckus at Wiregrass mall Saturday
By LISA A. DAVIS The Tampa Tribune
A central Pasco outdoor mall boasts that it's pet friendly, even supplying baggies when furry friends take care of business on its grounds.
But on Saturday, Shops at Wiregrass officials say, a group of people took it too far when they brought a leashed 4-month-old tiger cub.
The group, from Dade City Wild Things, a nonprofit zoological rescue and rehab , went to the mall around 5:30 p.m. to promote their cause and were handing out fliers during the mall's car show Saturday night.
"We didn't know it would be a big to-do," said zoo director Kathy Stearns. "We just thought that people would like to see the tiger."
So, they doubled-leashed Bo, the cub, with Stearns and her 25-year-old son, Randall, each holding one, and they strolled through the main outdoor concourse where the show was being held. Sure, she said, Bo drew attention. Lots of people seemed surprised but not startled and many took pictures, she said.
When a rainstorm rolled in with heavy lightening, she said, they had to quickly seek shelter. She and her son stood in the door of American Eagle with Bo. That's when trouble began.
"The lightning go so bad, I was like everyone's got to go in, Kathy Stearns said. "It was just one of those really bad storms."
Bo, who started being socialized when he was only two weeks old, seemed fine with the storm but Stearns wanted to keep him occupied because he doesn't usually sit in public for long periods of time. She had her son buy Bo an inexpensive jacket from American Eagle so he could play. She held on to the arm and they played a bit of game of tug-of-war. He also played, mostly laying on his back, with the paper bag it came with, shredding it.
Something made the store manager nervous, it seems. He at first he didn't appear bothered by the cub, Stearns said, and was asking questions about it. Then suddenly mall security appeared and they asked the group to leave.
No soliciting is allowed at Wiregrass. Stearns said she couldn't leave immediately because of the storm but left when it was safe. Apparently, at some point the sheriff's office was called and security officers gave deputies a different account of what happened.
A store video tape, according to a Pasco Sheriff's Office report, shows that the group actually went inside the store with the tiger and stood in an alcove adjacent to the doors. Customers came within a couple of feet of the tiger. The manager asked them to leave and eventually they moved outside to under the awning but were blocking the entryway, the report states.
"The individuals were very belligerent and refused to leave," a deputy wrote in a report. "One of the females went as far as to say he was discriminating against animals and that she had a right to be on the mall property."
Stearns said none of that is true.
When deputies arrived, however, the tiger and most members of the group were gone. Stearns said her son and a couple of his friends stayed behind to do some shopping. Randall Stearns and a deputy had words but he eventually left, the report says.
Nobody was arrested, and, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Stearns didn't do anything illegal. She has her permits and the cub is within the age and weight restrictions to be out in the public.
""It's fairly common to see these and start socializing these animals," said Gary Morse, FWC spokesman. "And it's a real good idea."
Of course, none of that matters when a tiger is brought uninvited onto private property.
"Any pets that are perceived to be a possible threat to the safety and comfort of our guests cannot be on the property," said Greg Lenners, general manager of Wiregrass. "We perceived it as still being a wild animal."
In addition, he said, the group was soliciting and that's also a no-no.
Bo resides at the zoo's 22-acre facility in Dade City with his brother, Luke and sister, Daisy. They are three of more than 190 exotic animals available for public viewing at the property accessible only by their special trolley. Donations and proceeds from the tickets cost are the only funding for the facility. Their Web site can be found at http://www.dadecityswildthings.com.

A recent court verdict in Missouri demonstrates the kind of traumatic injuries that can occur in a bicycle-car collision. A jury returned a $1.8 million verdict in a personal injury case brought by a University of Missouri student. She was seriously injured in 2005 when she was struck by two vehicles at an intersection near campus.
The student has had several surgeries and was forced to have her left leg partially amputated.
The Louthian Law Firm in Columbia, SC believe cyclists have the right to hold negligent drivers responsible for the harm they cause. That's why we've devoted a page on our Web site to this important issue.
If you've been hurt in a bike-car collision, you should contact a South Carolina bike accident injury attorney at the Louthian Law Firm. We have helped South Carolina accident victims win the compensation they deserve since 1959, and we are committed to providing personalized service. For a free evaluation of your case, call us today at 1-866-410-5656.


Update: 10/24. It's always the technical categories. Sometimes there's a sweep, sometimes they spread them around. Oh well. Did not really like Ride of the Valkyries as the play off music- especially since it seemed to have been transposed into a major key??? Much, much too nice. Finally! Awards season is almost over! At last, we can start to forget about this year's nominees and turn our attention to next year's horse race.
well as Straight Outta Compton and Tangerine- and weren't for some reason. There's a lot of politics and campaigning involved in awards season, which could explain why the above examples missed out this year. But not entirely.
What's even worse is that the kinds of movies likely to win awards are almost a genre to themselves. It's not the Year's Best Picture, it's the Year's Best Picture That The Academy Likes to See. Having a summer action movie like Mad Max: Fury Road on this list is a surprise.
But what's especially tricky is that all of this isn't the fault of any one person. Are you a bad person for thinking Brooklyn was a better movie than Tangerine? I don't think so. But when everyone thinks this way, or doesn't bother to see Tangerine, or Straight Outta Compton, or writes them off as outside the award-worthy genre, then it's a problem.
This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: movies with diverse casts don't get made because they don't make money, and don't make money because they don't get made.
If the market research isn't wrong (and it might be), some of the fault lies with the audiences. The entire institution is sick. While an individual can't be entirely to blame, we as a collective certainly are.
Overt bigotry may be out of fashion today[ref]Certain unmentioned presidential candidates excepted.[/ref], but that doesn't mean that racism has gone away. The actions or inactions of people, even those with good intentions, play a role as well. I'm reminded of one of last year's nominees, Selma, which I wrote about here.
There was a minor controversy over the depiction of President Lyndon Johnson. I thought that by having Johnson in a more antagonistic role, we see a story about Martin Luther King trying to get one of the ostensible "good guys" to do the right thing, and not just confronting a simplistically prejudiced sheriff.
If we want to do something about this, a good place to start is making more movies with diverse casts and crews, even if there's a risk to their commercial success. The movies are a reflection of how society is, but they also influence it. If we can't take some risks to change some minds, then what's the point?
Best Supporting Actor: Sylvester Stallone, Creed. Really? Really.
Best Original Screenplay: I think Ex Machina gets this. But I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to Inside Out or Straight Outta Compton instead.
Best Foreign Film: I think Holocaust movies might be falling out of fashion, otherwise Son of Saul would be a lock. My gut says Embrace The Serpent.
Best Editing: Here's where things get tricky. One thing Mad Max was praised for was its editing, which was great, but I also expect Star Wars: The Force Awakens to do well in the technical categories.
Best Production Design: Either The Martian or Mad Max.
Best Costume Design: I'm really torn here. Mmm... The Danish Girl.
Best Original Score: Ennio Morricone (The Hateful Eight) probably won't attend. John Williams (Star Wars) never wins. If the Academy really wants to get my goat, they'll give it to Sicario. But I'm optimistic. John Williams, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Best Visual Effects: Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Possible upset from The Martian. Possible bigger upset from Mad Max: Fury Road.
Best Makeup and Hairstyling: The Revenant.
Best Sound Mixing: Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Best Sound Editing: Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Best Documentary Short: I'm just going by who has the coolest title for these next few. Chau Behind the Lines.
Best Live Action Short: Everything Will Be Okay. I sure hope so!

The Shoal Tunic features a kanagroo pocket. The lightweight women's tunic is constructed from an organic cotton blend.
I love Prana clothes so much!! I do find this sweater sheds a lot.
The color, softness and fit were great! The only thing I didn't like was that the hood is so oversized it weighs the sweater in the back and with the v neck in front it kept pulling up in the front. Just didn't love the large hood, pry a personal preference.
Really cute tunic. Only complaint is that it's a tiny bit itchy.
Very comfortable and versatile sweater. Runs true to size. Very pleased with the quality of the sweater. Highly recommend.
Love this sweater pullover; it's a warm rich brown/burgundy color great for fall and winter!
I am returning it. The pocket in the front is ridiculously small and looks sort of weird. Although I love the fabric and the rest of the style is so cute I cannot get past that pocket.
Ultra comfortable and looks great!
This sweater is not only ultra comfortable, it also looks fantastic! The colors work well with jeans or any type of pant. It can be worn causally or to dress up.
Really cute tunic with a little tiny kangaroo pocket in the front I thought it would be warmer but its a nice light-mid weight sweater. Will be cute with jeans or leggings.
Very comfy, love the fit and style!
Love this sweater for either casual or professional!
Love everything about this sweater that I got it in two colors. It's long enough to cover your bum and looks great with leggings. Can easily dress it up with colored jeans and some jewelry. Love the little hand warmer pocket up front and the wider neckline/v-neck. Runs a little larger and wish I would have sized down one.
Perfect for this cooler weather! Love the hood because it keeps my neck nice and warm.
I love this sweater to throw over some leggings and stay cozy and warm. Perfect fit.
This "Shoal Tunic" has really grown on me. I love the length and the feel of it. It's really comfortable and the hood comes in handy!
This sweater is so comfortable and fits perfectly! I love the olive green color. I'm tempted to get another one in a different color.
I have received multiple compliments every time I wear this sweater. I absolutely love the green. My only complaint is that the pocket is a little bit small which makes the hip area look wider than normal, but otherwise it's great!
I found this sweater to be too large in some spots and then a bit tight in the armpits, but overall it looks great on and is fun with the speckles. I got the red and love the color. Will be a great sweater for winter. I do like that I can pull it down for bottom coverage or tuck the band under for a shorter look. It also washes well. I put it in the dryer and it didn't seem to shrink.
Overall love the material as it's super soft! I bought a large and it looks a bit too big/baggy with jeans but comfy with leggings. I definitely recommend purchasing. Great for Spring/Fall/Winter! I live in Las Vegas so likely won't wear it in the summer.
I ordered this in the Wedged Wood - it's a really nice burgundy-brown color. Fabric reminds me of ragged wool socks with the speckles, minus the itch, as it's really soft. Loose fit, including around the cuffs. Perfect for fall and winter.
This sweater is just right for crisp fall days. I'm not a lover of heavy sweaters so this midweight weave is perfect in my opinion. I especially like the hoodie aspect along with the kangaroo pocket. I got a compliment the first day I wore it. Perfect sweater with jeans.
I ordered the oatmeal color in a small and like how versatile it is. It is a bit roomy but I would be reticent to order an extra small, plus it might shrink a bit with washing.
Super soft and the perfect fit! A fall must!
I'm 5'7' 130lbs. Waistband was too wide to look flattering. I'm short waisted. Hand pocket was also small, but that alone wouldn't have made me return it.
I get a lot of compliments on this tunic. This one is for my daughter for Christmas since she wanted to take mine. Love this item because it looks sporty but can be dressed up with a pair of jeans and boots. It's comfortable and had a hoody.
Fits great, very stylish and we'll made. Love the length. Goes well with leggings. I took a star off because of the dry flat after washing instructions.
Thank you Prana for bringing back attention to detail. The knit is so flattering and the relaxed fit is not frumpy. Love the medium weight for fall and the organic cotton is perfectly comfortable.
My new go to sweater!
This is incredibly comfy, cut generously but still shapely and attractive. Can layer for warmth or wear solo on milder days. Looks great both ways, and the cut allows layering without binding up. Launders easily, and I'm going to get at least one more in another color!
I wanted to give this 5 stars because I absolutely love it. I even bought a second one in the olive color. Then I washed it and hung it to dry and it has little pills of fabric all over it. I'm sooooo bummed and liked it so much before. I'm not even sure if I will keep or return the newest one once it arrives.
I was expecting more of a dark red wine color, but it turns out it's a bit more on the brown side. Surprisingly, I love it! I would never have thought to purchase this color, but it's perfect for fall. Nice and long for my long torso and true to size. Loving it!
This sweater is very cozy and the fit is just as I expected. It's not too tight yet not so baggy that it hangs weird. The green color is prettier in person than online. The band at the bottom looks tighter and more cinched than it actually is so you can pull the sweater down to bring it to mid-hip. I'd say it's medium weight -- could be worn with just a tank under it or layered with a long sleeve for more warmth.
Fits perfect and looks good too! Relaxed fit...not too baggy or too tight. I'm 5'7", 140 lbs and got the medium.
I love how cozy it is and the color is so nice!
This is a great cozy sweater, it washes beautifully, and the longer cut is the best.
I loved this sweater right out of the package. The colors were nice and the fabric was super soft. I tried it on anticipating it to be loosely fitted, which it was. However, I felt that the tiny front pocket looked odd on such a loose and baggy sweater. Ultimately I returned it because I felt the pocket was just too weird looking.
So comfy! Not form fitting but I like that - it hugs my hips without emphasizing my post baby belly. Nice enough to wear to work but great for days at home with the kids also!
I'm wearing this sweater today with my Oday jeans and I have gotten so many compliments on this outfit. Love the sweater - it's very comfy, fabric feels nice against my skin, and it looks great on.
This sweater was even better than I expected. I want to throw it on every day. A perfect winter warm comfortable feel without the discomfort of a stuffy sweater. Doesn't cling but isn't overly large. Seems true to size. Don't go up in size for comfort, it's already built in. I got the blue and it's a great tone, not too bright, not too blah. Highly recommend.
Perfect baggy, comfy, but flattering sweater. Comfortable to lounge in all day, fitted enough to wear out on the town.
A classic - comfort and style!
PERFECT top in every way!
I put this on for the first time this morning and immediately ordered another one in a different color. I love the soft fabric and the length. I bought a small and it fits perfectly. I got so many compliments today!
Love this! Soft, cozy, and most of all cute! Looks awesome with leggings. This is a must for colder days.
Looks cute and comfy! And it's cotton.
love simple lightweight sweaters to pair with jeans and leggings, this looks like it will fit the bill.
This looks so warm and cozy.
I like the style, the color and the drape.
The lines! It has those super flattering ribbing lines along the edge that help a girl look good. Plus I love the heathering color on this top - it reminds me of the pia sweater that I own and adore.
Already purchased this sweater and it is great on cold days. It is super soft and so comfortable to wear but still looks great!
Classy and comfortable Paired with jeans it would make an easy outfit for fall.
Looks like sleeves are long and I've got long arms. I like lightweight sweaters.
Fashionable yet comfortable and casual. Could be dressed up or down which is just my style.
BEST ANSWER: No, I ran it through the washer and dryer, and mine did not shrink.
I used the hand wash setting on my washing machine and then hung it to dry. No shrinkage at all and I have two of these tops. They look like new and i've washed them a few times.
My daughter and I both have these sweaters and have not had an issues with it shrinking, but we always air dry it.
I agree I wash it but actually on a regular cycle but hang it up dry not taking any chances.
Not if you wash in gentle and air dry as suggested. It maintains it's shape and size well.
You must lay flat to dry, or hang. It doesn't shrink. Plus I wash in cold water.
Maybe slightly, but mine has not shrunk significantly. It washed up well.
Mine hasn't, just wash in cold and hang dry.
Mine has not shrunk. I love it.


Budweiser -- and the city of New York -- are paying homage to Derek Jeter.
To fete the legacy of legendary Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter and the retirement of his jersey this weekend, MLB sponsor Budweiser is out with what it called an "emotive new video", This Bud's for 2, which went live Friday (May 12).
The two-minute video starts with Jeter's final at-bat at Yankee Stadium, in which he hit a walk-off RBI-single against Baltimore. Noting the retirement of his number comes 962 days after this moment, Budweiser then takes viewers around New York City, replacing the number two on the Subway, a sign for Second Avenue and on a fire truck and taxi, to name a few, with Jeter's 2 in pinstripes.
The tribute video will run on Budweiser's social channels and paid digital, a rep said.
Per social media monitoring company Brandwatch, the hashtag #ThisBudsFor2 had over 1,400 mentions on May 12 as of 12:00 ET and the sentiment is completely positive within sentiment-categorized mentions at 100%.
A Brandwatch rep said most mentions stem from retweets of a tweet from Budweiser, which has over 11.7m impressions on its own.
The hashtag, in turn, has over 26.2m impressions, Brandwatch added.
The Yankees will honor Jeter during a pregame ceremony with the retirement of his uniform number and the unveiling of his Monument Park plaque on Sunday, May 14, which is not just Mother's Day, but also Derek Jeter Night.
The Yankees said Jeter will become the 22nd player in team history to have his number retired.
Budweiser also created a Cubs tribute to broadcaster Harry Caray after the team's World Series victory in 2016 that ended a 108-year drought.
Brands like Nike and Gatorade also created Jeter tribute videos when he retired in 2014.
For his part, Jeter posted his own thank you to New York on the Players' Tribune, a "new media company that provides athletes with a platform to connect directly with their fans, in their own words", which Jeter founded in 2014.
The startup reportedly raised $40m earlier this year, bringing its total funding to date to $58m.


Mayawati has accused the Election Commission of favouring PM Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah. Her outburst came after the EC level a 48-hour ban from campaigning on her over hate speech.
As the Elections Commission of India puts a 48-hour ban on Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati for violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), BSP chief retaliated alleging EC is favouring PM Narendra Modi-led BJP. Terming the EC's action as a murder of democracy, Mayawati alleged that it looks like the Election Commission has taken the decision under pressure of PM Modi and Amit Shah. Mayawati accused EC of having a biased behaviour towards BJP. She added that the EC has given a free hand to PM Modi and Amit Shah for spreading hatred and it closes ears and eyes when it comes to any saffron leader.
The Election Commission on Monday had barred Mayawati from campaigning for 48 hours in view to her comments during a rally in Deoband last week. While trying to woo the Muslim voters, Mayawati had said that if Muslims want BJP to lose, they have to stand firmly behind Gathbandhan. The 48 hours campaign ban will start from 6 AM on April 16.
Mayawati in her speech had said, don't get divided, vote en masse for Gathbandhan. We have BSP vote in every seat, SP is also mobilised. If Muslims want BJP to lose, they have to stand firmly behind Gathbandhan.
Later, Mayawati clarified saying her comment wasn't against any religion and she was not seeking votes on the basis of caste or creed. Her statement in the Deoband rally does not vitiate the atmosphere. She added she was requesting Muslims to ensure that their vote isn't divided.
The 48-hours ban means that Mayawati would not be allowed to address the rally in Agra on April 18, 2018.
Not only Mayawati, but the EC has also barred Union Minister Maneka Gandhi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Azam Khan from campaigning for 48 and 72 hours respectively. The orders will come into effect from April 16, 6 Am.

new brain tumor clinical trial available to children in Dayton region
recent collaboration with Nationwide Children's Hospital supports opportunities for innovative research opportunities
Children with cancer in the Dayton region now have access to a clinical trial that aims to improve the quality of life and survival rates from several of the most common types of malignant brain tumors, thanks to a recent partnership between Dayton Children's Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, and Nationwide Children's Hospital, in Columbus, Ohio.
The Head Start 4 protocol uses an innovative approach with newly diagnosed young children with medulloblastoma and other central nervous system tumors to find better treatments and outcomes. The availability of this clinical trial is one of the first official endeavors in the cancer, blood disorder and bone marrow transplant collaborative that the hospitals announced in January 2019. The goal of the alliance is to enhance services, create more research opportunities for both institutions and allow more patients from the Dayton region to stay closer to home during treatment. Patients in the Dayton area will now have access to protocols centered around personalized medicine and the opportunity to understand genetic material and its effect on their health.
Patients are being recruited for the clinical trial. Currently 95 children are enrolled with room for 155 more. It is the only study of its kind underway right now in the country and collaborating institutions include Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, John's Hopkins and Children's National.
"We are always working to find ways to make life a little better for our children," says Ayman El-Sheik, MD, chief, division of hematology and oncology at Dayton Children's Hospital. "It is through research and trials like this that we can continually offer a better solution tomorrow than we did yesterday."
"At Nationwide Children's Hospital, we believe in the spirit of collaboration, and this partnership with Dayton Children's Hospital is a key tenet to achieving best outcomes for children and families not just in Ohio, but for children everywhere." said Timothy Cripe, MD, PhD, division chief of hematology, oncology & blood and marrow transplant at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
For many children, the treatment of medulloblastoma can have long-term negative impacts on their development and overall health. The goal of this initiative is to use a brief, but intensive course of chemotherapy for these young children to both improve the cure rate and the quality of survival through minimizing long-term side effects. Jonathan Finlay, MB, ChB, FRCP, director of neuro-oncology at Nationwide Children's is the principal investigator of the Head Start series. This will be the fourth sequential Head Start study conducted by Finlay during the past 25 years.
Head Start 4 is also one of the first research initiatives to operate within the National Experimental Therapeutics (NEXT) Consortium at Nationwide Children's. The NEXT Consortium is a collaborative research model that unites multiple research centers with the goal of expediting the most advanced treatments in the shortest time frame possible in pediatric oncology, hematology and bone marrow transplant. Through this nationwide effort, the goal is to contribute to the development of promising new therapies in pediatric disorders such as childhood cancer, blood disorders, stem cell therapies and other cellular therapies.

Q: Checking if a set makes up a filter
Definition: A non-empty family $\Lambda$ of subsets of a non-empty set $X$ is called
a filter on $X$ if it satisfies the following three conditions:

(i) $\emptyset \not \in  \Lambda$,

(ii) $A, B \in \Lambda \implies  A \cap B \in \Lambda$,

(iii) $(A \in \Lambda, A \subseteq S \subseteq X) \implies S \in \Lambda$.

*

*Consider $X = \{1, 2, 3\}$. Then $\Lambda = \{\{1\}, \{1, 2\}, \{1, 2, 3\}\}$ is a filter on $X$ because
(i) $\emptyset \not \in \Lambda$
(ii) $\{1\} \cap \{1, 2\}, \ \{1\} \cap \{1, 2, 3\}, \ \{1, 2\} \cap \{1, 2, 3\} \in \Lambda$
(iii) $\{1\} \subseteq \{1\} \subseteq \{1, 2\} \subseteq \{1, 2, 3\} \subseteq \{1, 2, 3\} = X$, but $\{1\}, \{1, 2\}, \{1, 2, 3\} \in \Lambda$

*Let $\mathcal N(x)$ be the family of neighborhoods of a chosen point $x$ in a topological
space $(X, \tau)$. Then  $\mathcal N(x)$ is a filter on $X$ because
(i) $x \in N_i \in \mathcal N(x) \text{ for all $i$}  \implies \emptyset \not \in \mathcal N(x)$
(ii) $x \in N_i \in \mathcal N(x) \text{ for all $i$} \implies x \in \bigcap N_i \implies \bigcap N_i$ is a neighborhood of $x$ and so $\bigcap N_i \in \mathcal N$
(iii) $N_i \subseteq N_j \subseteq X \implies N_j \in \mathcal N(x)$ by definition

*$\{D_i\}_{i=1}^\infty (\subseteq \mathbb R)$ with $(-\infty, a] \subseteq D$ for some $a$ is a filter on $\mathbb R$ because
(i) $(-\infty, a] \neq \{\} \implies D_i \neq \{\} \implies \{\} \not \in \{D_i\}_{i=1}^\infty $
(ii) $(\infty, x] \cap (-\infty, y] = (\infty, x] \iff x < y$ and $(\infty, x] \cap (-\infty, y] = (\infty, y] \iff x \ge y$; either intersection is a subset of $D \in \{D_i\}_{i=1}^\infty$
(iii) $D_1 \subseteq D_2\subseteq \mathbb R \implies D_2 \in \{D_i\}$ by definition

*$T = \tau_{cocountable} \setminus \{\emptyset\}$ is a filter on any uncountable set because
(i) $\emptyset \not \in T$
(ii) Suppose $A, B \in T$. Then $A^c, B^c$ are countable and so  $A^c \cup B^c = (A \cap B)^c$ is countable and so $A \cap B \in T$
(iii) this criterion follows by definition

Are the proofs above convincing?

A: All the ones except the third one looks good.  The third one requires an additional criteria that there is no upper bound on the chosen $a$'s that make up the $[-\infty,a]$ sets in your filter.  If there was an upper bound,  then you would no longer be closed under supersets, as adding things beyond that upper bound would no longer be in your filter

A: You only have to consider the intersection of two sets. For the third you seem overly ambitious ( $\{D_i\}_{i=1}^\infty$ ?). Just say
(ii): if $A,B$ are in the filter, for some $x,y \in \Bbb R$ we have $(-\infty,x] \subseteq A, (-\infty, y] \subseteq B$. Then
$$ (-\infty,x] \cap (-\infty,y] = (-\infty,\min(x,y)] \subseteq A \cap B$$
so that $A\cap B$ is in the filter too.
For the last, (iii) I would still mention that $A \subseteq B$ implies $B^\complement \subseteq A^\complement$ and that a subset of a countable set is still countable. Don't chicken out with "by definition" when it can easily be explained by a single line.
Where do you use the finiteness of the intersection in the second example? What's the relation with the topology?

The date: March 1938. The vast majority of Austrians cheer the Anschluss of their country by the German Reich. Central Europe is falling into Nazi hands and all the best European scientists will soon compete under the aegis of Heinrich Himmler, for whom no scheme is too wild or too improbable — but which team has the imagination, the courage, and the drive to most successfully accomplish their goals?
Secret Weapons of the Third Reich is a game for one to four players simulating the arms race of World War II from the German perspective. From secret submarine bases in Greenland to the mysterious Base 211 in Neuschwabenland, Antarctica, this game recreates the incredible tales of Nazi technology, from the famous V-1 buzz bombs and V-2 rockets to the unlikely flying saucers derived from the work of Nikola Tesla. Will players be able to deliver the Haunebu project to completion? Will Hans Kammler escape with his last battalion of flying saucers to the dark side of the moon? Will the secret submarine fleet sail to Antarctica to pursue the war after the war? Or could German scientists produce an atomic bomb to be dropped on New York by an electro-gravitational flying saucer or within the warhead of a futuristic intercontinental V-3? Would it even be possible to build a huge solar satellite gun to strike America?
In the game, each player controls one or more research groups, each working on a secret weapon project. Each research group has a leading researcher, who provides an initial bonus (expressed in resource cubes or scientist cylinders) when the project is assigned. The researcher has a regime loyalty value that measures both the ability to make requisition attempts and the ability to resist opposing attempts.
A player tries to get their projects approved, then completed. Certain requirements (resource cubes and/or scientist cylinders and technologies attached to projects) must be met and costs paid in order to reach the stage of development of a project. Each turn, approved projects generate specific amounts of resource cubes as funding. Completed projects award victory points (VP) and allow, in most cases, weapon production. Produced weapons award VP to the owning player in addition to helping to achieve a cooperative goal for all players. In fact, if together the players fail to reach a certain number of weapons produced by the end of the game, they all lose. The weapon production goal varies depending on the number of players.
Play begins in 1938, one year before the outbreak of world war. At the start, players can only place research groups for their approved projects (project plants) in the portion of the map representing Germany and Austria. In 1939 and later, the conquests of Nazi Germany allow players to deploy their project plants in occupied European territories — but players will have to pay attention to the various locations because some areas allow only research and development, others only weapon production, and still others only research and development for U-Boat projects.
Also, players must operate in a "state of warfare". This means that as time goes on they are more and more subject to enemy bombardments that can cause a great loss of resources and technologies. In addition, as starting in 1943 Allied and Soviet advances on Berlin make the map progressively smaller, players must face logistical issues never encountered during the early years of the war.
Should a completed project or produced weapon fall into Allied hands, players not only lose VP, but the weapons production goal recedes as well! Thus a certain amount of player cooperation is a must. Each player must balance his personal interests with the common need to share technologies and resources in order to fulfill the common goal.
Last, but not least, via events one player may secretly become the turncoat, working in the shadows to help the enemy, and winning the game if all players would otherwise lose.
