UTS is poised for break-through research discoveries across a range of disciplines and sectors with a new Data Arena that enables full 3D sensory immersion in and visualisation of big data.
Formally opened this week by NSW Minister for Innovation the Hon Victor Dominello MP, the sensory augmenting capabilities of the Data Arena allow researchers to observe interrelationships, patterns and anomalies not normally seen in data portrayed in a 2D format.
Guests at the opening included representatives of a wide range of industries and sectors that could benefit from deeper understanding of what massive data collection might tell us, things previously invisible, yet potentially of great significance.
Unique to Australia and the front runner of a limited few other facilities world-wide, the Data Arena promises to simplfy out attempts to understand and benefit from a vast amount of complex and diverse data collected every day around the world.
Guests at the opening gained a first-hand glimpse of the facility's capabilities through special presentations including a mind-boggling animated 3D concept reel produced by world-leading animation and visual FX studio Animal Logic.
UTS Vice-Chancellor Professor Attila Brungs said the facility which features six powerful 3D projectors was a finely-tuned masterpiece of interplaying computer and AV technologies. He said analysts in many sectors could use it to visualise and manipulate data, if not indeed touch it. If required, temperature variations, smell and other sensory effects could also be added to enhance the facility's immersive and multidimensional experience.
"In the massive numeric data sets produced by government, industry and university research there are trends and other phenomena waiting to be discovered, together with the implications these may pose," Professor Brungs said.
"This facility is breaking ground both in terms of data visualisation, manipulation and comprehension, and in fundamental human computer/data interaction.
"UTS is crossing traditional boundaries of knowledge by harnessing new technologies such as the Data Arena. The technology is so new even we don't know what the limits of its potential may be, whether for research, adding new knowledge to what we teach or how we can work in new ways with industry.
The Data Arena is a 360-degree interactive data visualisation facility where viewers stand in the middle of a large cylindrical screen, four metres high and ten metres in diameter.
A high-performance computer graphics system drives six 3D-stereo video projectors, edge-blended to create a seamless three-dimensional panorama. Picture clarity is made possible from an image that's 20,000 x 1200 pixels.
The user experience is made 3D with special active-shutter glasses that present separate left/right views to achieve a stereo-visual effect. A 16-channel audio system with speakers behind the 360-degree enclosing screen creates a truly surround sound to enhance the visual effects.
Ben Simons, lead developer of the Data Arena said the facility literally turns numbers into pictures. Simons has a long history as a feature film visual effects and animation innovator, working at times with leading-edge film makers, Animal Logic among them.
"As we're getting into bigger and bigger data, it becomes more and more important to figure out what we've got and what it can tell us," Mr Simons said.
Animal Logic CEO Zareh Nalbandian said the animation created for UTS was a thrilling and immersive journey taking viewers past Sydney landmarks, around the world, into outer space and back again leaving few in doubt of the Data Arena's capabilities.
Work started on the Animal Logic production when the Data Arena itself was under construction and demanded discovering new ways of visualising initial concepts and testing these from an audience's point of view. Producers drew inspiration from the façade of UTS's Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology building that is encased in a stainless steel exoskeleton characterised by a 'binary code' design and bold green neon lights.
The Data Arena is now operating on the ground-floor of UTS's engineering and IT building on Broadway, Ultimo. Don't miss watching the following video clips and interviews.

Video shows car driving at deputy in teens' fatal shooting
Nov. 18, 2020 at 12:44 pm Updated Nov. 18, 2020 at 3:29 pm
COCOA, Fla. (AP) — Video released by a Florida sheriff's office shows two deputies pulling their weapons and one firing at a car as it drives at him in a shooting that killed two Black teenagers.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office released the video Tuesday after the teenagers' families and their attorney, famed civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, demanded more information about last Friday's events that led to the fatal shooting of A.J. Crooms, 16, and Sincere Pierce, 18.
The sheriff's office said in a Facebook post that Deputies Jafet Santiago-Miranda and Carson Hendren were doing a follow-up investigation on what they thought was a stolen car. When they spotted the car, they followed it as it drove through a residential neighborhood and then pulled into the driveway of a home.
Dashcam video shows the deputies, in two different squad cars, getting out of their vehicles as the car they are following starts backing out of the driveway. Santiago-Miranda says repeatedly, "Stop the vehicle."
The vehicle stops for a few seconds, backs up a bit and then drives in the direction of Santiago-Miranda as the deputy fires his weapon, according to the video.
Santiago-Miranda "was then forced to fire his service weapon in an attempt to stop the deadly threat of the car from crashing into him," the sheriff's office Facebook post said.
Crump said Wednesday in a tweet that the video shows the teens were terrified and tried to drive around the deputies. Out of harm's way, Santiago-Miranda moved closer to the car to get a better shot, Crump said.
Crump has previously represented the families of Trayvon Martin, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Jacob Blake.
The deputies involved in the fatal shooting have been put on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Meanwhile, scores of protesters carrying signs that said "Who Do You Call When Police Murder?" and "Prosecute the Police," walked along a busy road in Cocoa on Wednesday evening, chanting "Justice for A.J. Justice for Spud," a nickname for Pierce.

Georgia detains former interior minister
Former Interior Minister Vano Merabishvili during his first interrogation December 1, 2012. (Police.ge.)
TBILISI, DFWatch–Police in Georgia have detained former Interior Minister and Saakashvili faithful Vano Merabishvili.
He is charged with sabotaging the investigation of the murder of a bank employee, Sandro Girgvliani, in 2006, appropriation and embezzlement in connection with an employment program in 2012 and the violent dispersal of demonstrators on May 26, 2011.
Member of the United National Movement Zurab Chiaberashvili is also detained.
This is the second time Merabishvili and Chiaberashvili are being questioned by police regarding the employment program. The first time they were questioned was February 13, 2013.
In December, 2012, Merabishvili was questioned on suspicion on having tried to board a flight with a forged passport. With the charges he was served today, he may face from 7 to 18 years in jail.
He is considered one of the most significant figures within President Saakashvili's National Movement party, and is credited with having rooted out low-level corruption. The current UNM secretary general was until today thought to be one of that party's candidates for president in the October election.
Merabishvili is being questioning at the regional Prosecutor's Office of the Imereti region, in Kutaisi in western Georgia.
He told journalists before entering the office that it would have been better if the government had focused on fulfilling its employment program in parallel with his questioning.
Members of the UNM and other supporters are gathered at the proseecutor's office to support him.
Chiaberashvili said before the questioning started that 'due to the absurd steps of the new government' he doesn't exclude that he and Merabishvili may be charged and detained.
In the summer of 2012 when Vano Merabishvili was leading the National Movement party's election campaign as prime minister, Saakashvili's government announced a new program to register unemployed people and create a database to help them in getting job.
The government announced that 3 000 people would be hired to register all the unemployed.
According to the Prosecutor's Office, the government hired an additional 21 837 persons for this process and allocated 5.24 million lari for their salaries. They did not get any type of training or instructions for their future job.
According to testimonies of about 2 000 people out of those 21 837, they didn't carry out any job when they were taking part in the program, but were paid for various activities during the UNM's election campaign.
The Prosecutor's Office issued a statement saying it has carried out complex measures to investigate the actions of Merabishvili in different positions in the previous government.
The first episode is about the election campaign of the UNM in 2012, when according to the statement, Ivanishvili implemented a secret operation to bribe voters and used the employment program as a cover.
5.2 million lari was illegally transferred to 22 000 people for election campaigning instead of implementing certain activities within the frames of the employment program.
The investigation is almost finished regarding the May 26, 2011 events, when police violently dispersed a peaceful anti-government rally.
"On personal order of Vano Merabishvili and his personal control, police used exceeded and disproportionate power against fenced-in citizens, as result two citizens died and many people were injured," the statement reads.
The third case is the controversial case of the murder of Sandro Girgvliani. The Prosecutor's Office writes that the investigation almost restored the precise situation and condition of the incident, defined participant persons and revealed the real motive of crime, its organizers and executors.
"Evidence unequivocally prove that Vano Merabishvili together with other high officials, also his wife Tako Salakaia and close persons, wanted to distance themselves from the crime and provided falsification of material in the investigation of the case and purposefully interrupted the restoration of justice in the case."

Заовинско језеро се налази на планини Тари код места Заовине и по свом настанку је вештачко. Настало је у периоду од 1975. до 1983. године, када је ток Белог Рзава преграђен бранама код врха Кик (958 м нмв). При највишем водостају, површина језера се налази на надморској висини од 881,5 м. Највећа дубина је око 110 m.

Језеро допуњавају два потока Коњска река и Бели Рзав.

Карактеристике
Језеро је акумулација реверзибилне хидроелектране "Бајина Башта" у Перућцу са којом је повезано вертикалним цевоводом. У случају ниског водостаја реке Дрине језеро се празни и покреће турбине хидроелектране док у случају вишка воде и поплавних таласа вода се пумпа вертикално у Заовинско језеро. Због тога ниво језера доста осцилује. Постоје и четири мања језера из којих се вода системом спојених судова може претакати у велико језеро. Једно од тих језера је и језеро Спајић које се налази са друге стране бране.

Вода је веома чиста те уз малу прераду у постројењима за прераду воде користи се за пиће.

Језеро се користи и за узгој пастрмки.

Лети има купача на неуређеним плажама.

У близини насуте бране је и место где је Јосиф Панчић открио Панчићеву оморику, као и средњовековно утврђење Град.

Флора Заовина
На Заовинама је забележено око 50% флоре целе планине Таре, односно око 15% флоре Србије. На овом подручју до сада је утврђено присуство око 600 биљних врста.
 од укупног броја забележених врста, 55 биљних врста се налази на прелиминарној Црвеној листи флоре Србије.
 међу 330 међународно значајних биљака које живе у Србији, 25 врста се могу наћи на подручју Заовина;
 на простору Заовина налази се 15 биљних врста које су заштићене као природне реткости као нпр. рунолист, а ту се налазе и субендемити Николићева кандилка, Панчићева пољска млечика, и представници фамилије Орцхидацеае који су предложени да буду уврштени на листу Уредбе о заштити природних реткости;

It's amazing to think that the newest sport that appears on the cabinets at your native store maybe took years to create. As you progress by way of the course you will create three video games of increasing complexity; a trivia recreation to display programming basics and present you the Unity person interface, followed by a 2ND platforming sport, and to finish, first person shooter recreation complete with visible effects and synthetic intelligence.
Suggestions on this game was good, and folks liked to play it in multiplayer. T. Fullerton, Sport Design Workshop – A Playcentric Strategy to Creating Modern Video games, 2nd Ed., Burlington: Elsevier, 2008. Minecraft is great and the mods are a good way of extending gameplay.
Ace of Spades is actually a first-particular person-shooter, but it offers players with the added ability to create their surroundings for both defensive or offensive functions. Fans of tycoon video games may find it somewhat on the simple aspect, but the large number of upgrades will make up for it.
Initially of Survivalcraft you're abandoned by a ship on the shores of a abandoned (and randomly-generated) world, however after that point players will recognise the "on their lonesome" feeling of these first few nights in Minecraft. The gameplay of the Civilization collection is mostly turn primarily based which makes it an important casual recreation expertise as opposed to the quick past actual time strategy (RTS) video games obtainable.
With your individual little game space in Cubic Castles you should utilize this space to construct anything from giant houses, castles to platform challenges where other players can compete. Thrive will mimic the gameplay of Spore allowing gamers to easily create a living organism after which bounce into the sport world.

A Labour government would eliminate the gender pay gap by the end of the next decade, the party has vowed as new research claims it could take 60 years to close the disparity under current plans.
Dawn Butler, the shadow women and equalities minister, said action will include fining companies that fail to report their gender pay gap or take unsatisfactory measures.
The election campaign promise marks Equal Pay Day – the day when women effectively stop getting paid for the rest of the year compared with their male counterparts due to the difference in wages.

Ms Butler said it was "not good enough" that it would take until almost 2080 for the gender pay gap to be closed. "Labour's real living wage, robust gender pay auditing – including fining organisations that fail to take action, will help us deliver real change and meet this ambitious target," she added.
Data compiled by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that the average gender pay gap for full-time work stands at 13.1 per cent in the UK.

The directors of Sliabh Liag Distillery, James and Moira Doherty.
Sliabh Liag Distillery is to launch An Dúlamán Irish Maritime Gin this evening.
An Dúlamán is inspired by the Donegal coast and the ingredients found around the Sliabh Liag peninsula. The gin's name comes from the traditional song Dúlamán, made famous by Altan, Clannad and other Irish singers and songwriters.
The official launch takes place 8pm-10.30pm tonight, Friday October 27th, with an event celebrating "draíocht na farraige", the magic of the sea, at An Dúlamán Gin Palace, Sliabh Liag Distillery, Line Road, Carrick.
The event is strictly for over 18's and ID may be required. There is very limited car parking at the venue.
Sliabh Liag Distillery is Donegal's first distillery in 175 years. James and Moira Doherty are the directors.
"We have five employees today and with construction on the main Sliabh Liag Distillery, we will create employment for up to 40 people once the distillery and visitor centre is fully operational," James said.
He said the inspiration for An Dúlamán came about during a trip foraging seaweed in Donegal.
An Dúlamán is made using Donegal sweet kombu (sugar kelp), dillisk (dulse), pepper dulse, carrageen moss and channel wrack.
James has held senior positions with major drinks suppliers SABMiller in Asia, Foster's in Australia and William Grant & Sons. He and Moira are joined by James Keith, the Hughes family, Dom De Lorenzo and John Davidson.

Book The Eighth Detective Description/Summary:
A New York Times Top Ten Thriller of 2020 "Dizzying, dazzling... When did you last read a genuinely original thriller? The wait is over." —A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window "One of the most innovative mysteries in recent memory." - The Wall Street Journal There are rules for murder mysteries. There must be a victim. A suspect. A detective. Grant McAllister, a professor of mathematics, once sat down and worked all the rules out – and wrote seven perfect detective stories to demonstrate. But that was thirty years ago. Now Grant lives in seclusion on a remote Mediterranean island, counting the rest of his days. Until Julia Hart, a brilliant, ambitious editor knocks on his door. Julia wishes to republish his book, and together they must revisit those old stories: an author hiding from his past and an editor keen to understand it. But there are things in the stories that don't add up. Inconsistencies left by Grant that a sharp-eyed editor begins to suspect are more than mistakes. They may be clues, and Julia finds herself with a mystery of her own to solve. Alex Pavesi's The Eighth Detective is a love letter to classic detective stories with a modern twist, where nothing is as it seems, and proof that the best mysteries break all the rules.

Crooked Hallelujah
Kelli Jo Ford
Author : Kelli Jo Ford
Publisher : Grove Press
Book Crooked Hallelujah Description/Summary:
The remarkable debut from Plimpton Prize Winner Kelli Jo Ford, Crooked Hallelujah follows four generations of Cherokee women across four decades It's 1974 in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and fifteen-year-old Justine grows up in a family of tough, complicated, and loyal women, presided over by her mother, Lula, and Granny. After Justine's father abandoned the family, Lula became a devout member of the Holiness Church – a community that Justine at times finds stifling and terrifying. But Justine does her best as a devoted daughter, until an act of violence sends her on a different path forever. Crooked Hallelujah tells the stories of Justine—a mixed-blood Cherokee woman— and her daughter, Reney, as they move from Eastern Oklahoma's Indian Country in the hopes of starting a new, more stable life in Texas amid the oil bust of the 1980s. However, life in Texas isn't easy, and Reney feels unmoored from her family in Indian Country. Against the vivid backdrop of the Red River, we see their struggle to survive in a world—of unreliable men and near-Biblical natural forces, like wildfires and tornados—intent on stripping away their connections to one another and their very ideas of home. In lush and empathic prose, Kelli Jo Ford depicts what this family of proud, stubborn, Cherokee women sacrifices for those they love, amid larger forces of history, religion, class, and culture. This is a big-hearted and ambitious novel of the powerful bonds between mothers and daughters by an exquisite and rare new talent.

Edgar Award winner: Investigating a crooked cop, a private detective gets too close to the case. The investigators of the Conmy-Kirk detective agency don't work in trench coats, drink on the job, or carry pistols. They are researchers who comb newspapers and government records in search of the tiny details that could make or break their clients' fortunes.

Book Winter Counts Description/Summary:
SHORTLISTED FOR THE EDGAR AWARD FOR FIRST NOVEL "Winter Counts is a marvel. It's a thriller with a beating heart and jagged teeth. This book is a brilliant meditation on power and violence, and a testament to just how much a crime novel can achieve. Weiden is a powerful new voice. I couldn't put it down." —Tommy Orange, author of There There A Recommended Read from: USA Today * TIME * The Washington Post * Buzzfeed * Electric Literature * Lit Hub * Shondaland * Publishers Weekly * Crimereads * Salon * PopSugar * NPR A groundbreaking thriller about a vigilante on a Native American reservation who embarks on a dangerous mission to track down the source of a heroin influx. Virgil Wounded Horse is the local enforcer on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. When justice is denied by the American legal system or the tribal council, Virgil is hired to deliver his own punishment, the kind that's hard to forget. But when heroin makes its way into the reservation and finds Virgil's nephew, his vigilantism suddenly becomes personal. He enlists the help of his ex-girlfriend and sets out to learn where the drugs are coming from, and how to make them stop. They follow a lead to Denver and find that drug cartels are rapidly expanding and forming new and terrifying alliances. And back on the reservation, a new tribal council initiative raises uncomfortable questions about money and power. As Virgil starts to link the pieces together, he must face his own demons and reclaim his Native identity. He realizes that being a Native American in the twenty-first century comes at an incredible cost. Winter Counts is a tour-de-force of crime fiction, a bracingly honest look at a long-ignored part of American life, and a twisting, turning story that's as deeply rendered as it is thrilling.
My Autobiography of Carson McCullers: A Memoir
Jenn Shapland
Author : Jenn Shapland
Publisher : Tin House Books
Book My Autobiography of Carson McCullers: A Memoir Description/Summary:
FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction How do you tell the real story of someone misremembered—an icon and idol—alongside your own? Jenn Shapland's celebrated debut is both question and answer: an immersive, surprising exploration of one of America's most beloved writers, alongside a genre-defying examination of identity, queerness, memory, obsession, and love. Shapland is a graduate student when she first uncovers letters written to Carson McCullers by a woman named Annemarie. Though Shapland recognizes herself in the letters, which are intimate and unabashed in their feelings, she does not see McCullers as history has portrayed her. Her curiosity gives way to fixation, not just with this newly discovered side of McCullers's life, but with how we tell queer love stories. Why, Shapland asks, are the stories of women paved over by others' narratives? What happens when constant revision is required of queer women trying to navigate and self-actualize in straight spaces? And what might the tracing of McCullers's life—her history, her secrets, her legacy—reveal to Shapland about herself? In smart, illuminating prose, Shapland interweaves her own story with McCullers's to create a vital new portrait of one of our nation's greatest literary treasures, and shows us how the writers we love and the stories we tell about ourselves make us who we are.

In need of a big story to save her journalism career, it seems Josie's sister was attempting to make contact with a dangerous serial killer known for creating sculptures with his victim's bones. And Trinity won't stop until she's found him, even if it means becoming his next masterpiece… Josie is certain there's a critical clue in the ivory hair comb delivered to Trinity just days before she went missing.

Book The Good Detective Description/Summary:
A New York Times Book Review Top 10 Crime Novel for the Year "John McMahon is one of those rare writers who seem to have sprung out of nowhere. His first novel, The Good Detective, which is pretty much perfect, features a decent if flawed hero battling personal troubles while occupied with a murder case of great consequence to his community."--New York Times Book Review Introducing Detective P.T. Marsh in a swift and bruising debut where Elmore Leonard's staccato prose meets Greg Iles' Southern settings. How can you solve a crime if you've killed the prime suspect? Detective P.T. Marsh was a rising star on the police force of Mason Falls, Georgia--until his wife and young son died in an accident. Since that night, he's lost the ability to see the line between smart moves and disastrous decisions. Such as when he agrees to help out a woman by confronting her abusive boyfriend. When the next morning he gets called to the scene of his newest murder case, he is stunned to arrive at the house of the very man he beat up the night before. He could swear the guy was alive when he left, but can he be sure? What's certain is that his fingerprints are all over the crime scene. The trouble is only beginning. When the dead body of a black teenager is found in a burned-out field with a portion of a blackened rope around his neck, P.T. realizes he might have killed the number-one suspect of this horrific crime. Amid rising racial tension and media scrutiny, P.T. uncovers something sinister at the heart of the boy's murder--a conspiracy leading all the way back to the time of the Civil War. Risking everything to unravel the puzzle even as he fights his own personal demons, P.T. races headlong toward an incendiary and life-altering showdown.

Eight Perfect Murders

Book Eight Perfect Murders Description/Summary:
A Kirkus Best Fiction Book of the year "Swanson rips us from one startling plot twist to the next… A true tour de force." —Lisa Gardner "Fiendish good fun." —Anthony Horowitz From the hugely talented author of Before She Knew Him comes a chilling tale of psychological suspense and an homage to the thriller genre tailor-made for fans: the story of a bookseller who finds himself at the center of an FBI investigation because a very clever killer has started using his list of fiction's most ingenious murders. Years ago, bookseller and mystery aficionado Malcolm Kershaw compiled a list of the genre's most unsolvable murders, those that are almost impossible to crack—which he titled "Eight Perfect Murders"—chosen from among the best of the best including Agatha Christie's A. B. C. Murders, Patricia Highsmith's Strangers on a Train, Ira Levin's Deathtrap, A. A. Milne's The Red House Mystery, Anthony Berkeley Cox's Malice Aforethought, James M. Cain's Double Indemnity, John D. MacDonald's The Drowner, and Donna Tartt's The Secret History. But no one is more surprised than Mal, now the owner of the Old Devils Bookstore in Boston, when an FBI agent comes knocking on his door one snowy day in February. She's looking for information about a series of unsolved murders that look eerily similar to the killings on Mal's old list. And the FBI agent isn't the only one interested in this bookseller who spends almost every night at home reading. The killer is out there, watching his every move—a diabolical threat who knows way too much about Mal's personal history, especially the secrets he's never told anyone, even his recently deceased wife. To protect himself, Mal begins looking into possible suspects . . . and sees a killer in everyone around him. But Mal doesn't count on the investigation leaving a trail of death in its wake. Suddenly, a series of shocking twists leaves more victims dead—and the noose around Mal's neck grows so tight he might never escape.

Green Mountains Nature Reserve
Green Mountains, Quebec (Photo by Claude Duchaîne)
Located just an hour's drive from Montreal, the Eastern Townships boast large lakes, picturesque villages and green mountaintops. In the heart of this cottage country is the Nature Conservancy of Canada's (NCC's) Green Mountains Nature Reserve. It is the largest privately held conservation area in Quebec.
"I am delighted that all the mountain peaks visible in the region are now protected, thanks to NCC and the work of its partners," states Nathalie Zinger, NCC's former regional vice-president in Quebec.
Several of these mountains are part of the Green Mountains Nature Reserve. This reserve is not only one of the last natural areas to remain intact in southern Quebec, it is also one of the most important connectivity zones in the Appalachian range. The Appalachian range extends from the state of Georgia through Quebec to Newfoundland. Home to an abundance of habitats and species, this area is a priceless natural treasure.
It took 10 years to complete the Green Mountains Nature Reserve initiative. NCC's first acquisition was made in 2001, in the Sutton Mountains, with the assistance of Appalachian Corridor and thanks to funding from partners such as the Fondation Hydro-Québec pour l'environnement. In 2004, following a major publicity campaign, NCC extended its holdings in the area with lands formerly belonging to Domtar. These lands were acquired thanks to the gift of land and the financial participation of the Government of Quebec, as well as various donors and foundations. Today, the nature reserve sprawls over approximately 8,000 hectares (19,800 acres).
The protected area is big enough to conserve the ecosystem's diversity while also providing adequate habitat for a number of large mammals, such as black bear, bobcat and moose. It also shelters more than 20 species of at-risk plants, including two-leaved toothwort, large-flowered bellwort and maidenhair fern. The reserve is home to several birds of prey. Barred owl, peregrine falcon and broad-winged hawk are found here, as well as 80 species of breeding birds. Birch, beech, ash and maple dominate the deciduous forest. At its highest altitude, the mixed-wood forest features mainly fir, spruce and birch.
NCC provides public access to this nature reserve, while ensuring its long-term protection. In fact, the Green Mountains Nature Reserve is accessible to the public through three networks of hiking trails:
the Parc d'environnement naturel de Sutton
the Sentiers de l'Estrie
the Appalachian Corridor
Access is provided through three points of entry, with each parking lot giving access to one of the three peaks. Interpretive material about the area's natural environment is available on the nature reserve's website (in French only).
The conservation efforts in this Appalachian corridor extend well beyond the Green Mountains Nature Reserve, thanks to the work of 16 conservation groups, who together protect over 13,300 hectares (32,800 acres) of land. NCC will continue to work with our local and regional partners to ensure the long-term protection of this green, mountainous landscape that is so characteristic of the Eastern Townships.
A master plan (in French only), which combines accessibility and protection of the territory, rallies more than 20 regional partners around a common vision for conservation, research and discovery, as well as the region's economic development.

Albert Aereboe (31 January 1889 – 6 August 1970) was a German painter of the modernity.

Life
Born in Lübeck as the son of the pastor at Lübeck Cathedral, Aereboe first attended the Katharineum and the Johanneum, and then in 1906 underwent his training as a craftsman and artist in Berlin.

In 1910, he returned to Lübeck and attended the art school of Leo von Lütgendorff there. On Lütgendorff's recommendation, he went to Munich in 1912 to the Akademie der bildenden Künste and studied with Hugo von Habermann until 1915. In 1916, he was called up for military service. Around 1917, he was commissioned by the well-known violist Karl Reitz to decorate his living room at Holtenauer Straße 59a in  with murals and integrated paintings, watercolours and drawings to create a landscape. Only photographs of this work have survived. After the war, Aereboe worked as a freelance artist, first in Lübeck, and from 1925 on Sylt. In the meantime, from 1919 to 1926, he led the class for decorative painting at the Staatliche Kunstgewerbeschule in Kassel, where he was awarded the title of professor in 1923. Here he met the painter Julie Katz (1888–1927), who had led the class for textiles since 1919 and became a professor in 1923; they both married in 1922.

One of his outstanding works is My Ancestor Jens Aereboe. Among other things, discussed on the occasion of its exhibition at the Behnhaus under A Monumental Painting by Albert Aereboe in the  13 November 1927. The artist had here painted his ancestor lord, who was a faustian. Like Dürer's Jerome, the latter sits in a housing, albeit a completely Nordic one. Through the window one sees an austere dunescape and raindrops run along the glass. Inside are relationships to mathematics and optics. In the centre is the mentally worked-through face of the ancestor. The suspended glass sphere that intersects the face of "Jens Aereboe" is a symbol that makes itself understood without words. Through the door in the background, wrapped only in a flowing veil, comes a naked female figure. She too is of heightened significance.

In the 1930s he also ran a studio in Berlin, but returned to bombed out Sylt in 1943 and worked exclusively in Lübeck again from 1959. He died in Lübeck. Here he was buried in 1970 in accordance with his last will in the Wenningstedter cemetery.

Environment Secretary unveils plans for future greener farming
By Simon King on	 February 26, 2020 News
Environment Secretary George Eustice has called on farmers and land managers to share their views on the government's flagship green farming scheme outside the EU.
Mr Eustice has announced that farmers will be at the forefront of reversing environmental declines and tackling climate change as they reshape the future of farming in the 21st Century.
The government has published new details on its future Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELM), which will see farmers paid for work that enhances the environment, such as tree or hedge planting, river management to mitigate flooding, or creating or restoring habitats for wildlife.
Moving away from a system that pays farmers for the total amount of land farmed, the scheme will instead pay for 'public goods' that benefit society, such as clean air and water.
Mr Eustice said: "We can all agree that we want British farming to be sustainable in the truest sense of the word, an industry which is profitable, competitive, and productive while feeding the nation and taking care of our landscapes too.
"Now more than ever, efforts for the environment are absolutely critical, and no group has more power to reverse environmental decline than our farmers."
The proposals include three 'tiers' of entry to the scheme, enabling anyone from any farm or land type to participate at the right level.
Tier one encourages farmers to adopt environmentally sustainable farming and forestry practices, while farmers, foresters and other land managers in tier two would focus on delivering locally-targeted environmental outcomes. The third tier would pay for larger-scale, transformational projects – such as restoring peatland.
Farmers and land managers have 10 weeks to have their say on the details of the new scheme, with government capturing their knowledge and experience.

Ackerman Plumbing History
Since 1946, our family has been serving the needs of our clients along the East Coast. Established by Ray Ackerman over 70 years ago, Ackerman Plumbing Inc. operates from our locations in Buffalo, New York and Sarasota, Florida.
Our family-owned and operated business is now four generations strong, and provides leading plumbing expertise to commercial plumbing projects, from hospitals and hotels, to schools and art museums. The business began as Ackerman & Huebsch Inc., where the company's slogan, "World's Greatest Plumbers' originated.
After gaining full ownership in 1962, Ray Ackerman's son, James Ackerman, took over the business. For the next 35 years, Ackerman Plumbing continued to grow, providing quality residential and commercial services. In 1996, Eric Ackerman, a third generation master plumber, obtained ownership of the company.
In 2004, Eric Ackerman opened the south Florida location. Working alongside his niece, Carly Bonora, Vice President, the team continues the family tradition of quality workmanship and integrity that began in 1946.
Today, Ackerman Plumbing is still dedicated to timely service, employee expertise, and safe practices. Our unique office distribution has allowed us to tackle challenging projects on both ends of the east coast. Focused on the commercial, institutional and governmental markets, we are proud to be a trusted partner for both contractors and business owners.
After more than 70 years of quality service, Ackerman Plumbing continues to grow, now employing over 180 team members. Our philosophy has remained unchanged, and we still dedicated to offering exceptional workmanship, competitive pricing, and guaranteed craftsmanship, all while maintaining the highest level of safety.
While the industry has certainly changed over the past seven decades, Ackerman Plumbing has stayed on the cutting edge of the market with advances in BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology, Certified AutoCAD and Revit. These technologies allow us to cut down on costs, identify issues prior to the start of construction, and streamline the process to save time and resources.
Our team members are well-educated and experienced professionals. By establishing relationships with our customers, and exceeding expectations through trust and exceptional team member performance, Ackerman Plumbing plans to expand its longevity well into the future.

There is much misconception surrounding Skin Cancer and the level of precaution that should be taken at different times of the year. Namely, campaigns to promote awareness of the risks of Skin Cancer generally focus on peoples' activities during Summer, and fail to inform people about continued imperative to protect themselves from harmful UVA and UVB rays in Winter as well.
Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world – with over 90% of these incidents being caused by UVA and UVB rays. The proper application of SPF 30+ sunscreen, refraining from being under the sun during the hottest part of the day (between 10am and 4pm) and wearing skin protective clothing are just a few of many ways to prevent skin cancer. During Winter, however, many people fail to recognise the danger of the Australian sun and thus do not follow procedures to avoid Skin Cancer.
According to the latest Self Reported Health Status survey, only 26.4 percent of adults practiced three or more of the recommended sun protective behaviours in Winter, compared to in Summer, when 51.3 per cent of adults took these measures. In Queensland, the UV Index is 3 and above all year round. It is therefore important not to neglect protecting your skin in Winter, as UVA and UBA rays can cause damage throughout the entire year. It is also important to maintain regular skin checks in colder seasons, and do not skip on professional skin scans.
In particular, those partaking in Winter sports are at an increased risk of overexposure to UV radiation, due to both the reflection of UV rays by the snow and being at a higher altitude. Snow reflects up to 80 per cent of the UV light from the sun, thus increasing the risk of damage and melanoma formation.
It is therefore just as important to self-examine your skin every month of the year for any changes. It is also essential to have a professional Skin Scans and Melanoma Checks each year – regardless of the weather or perceived level of sun exposure.
At SunDoctors, great pride is taken in educating the community about skin cancer and skin cancer prevention. SunDoctors is a leading provider of skin cancer diagnosis, treatment, prevention and education. SunDoctors has clinics operating in six different locations across Queensland, and 13 across New South Wales. SunDoctors patients are ensured a rapid diagnosis, pathology and referral.

Injured Player Protection
What is the Injury/Bye Protection feature?
A: The Injury/Bye Protection feature gives the user the ability to protect their roster from starting a player who is on Bye or is ruled out for a game after the trade deadline has passed*. For example, if you subscribe to the protection feature, and have a player listed on your roster who is ruled out prior to the game starting, the feature would use a prepaid trade to replace that player with the next lowest ranked player who is not on Bye, not also injured, has not already played in an earlier game or is not already listed on your roster.
How is the replacement player determined?
A: The replacement player is determined by using salary first, then the H2H player ID only if there is a tie with multiple players at the same salary. For example, if the player being replaced has a salary of $14.2, and there are three other players with a salary of $14.1, the system will pick the $14.1 player with the lowest H2H player ID. It will not replace players with higher salaries and will not allow a team to go over its salary cap.
If I purchase the Injury/Bye Protection feature, will it apply to all teams or only one team?
A: The injury/Bye Protection feature is linked specifically to each individual team, not to an account.
How much does the protection cost?
A: The Injury/Bye protection is $10 and includes 5 prepaid trades (a $15 value!), which are credited to your account immediately. Keep in mind that if you don't have any prepaid trades on your account, no substitution will be made and an email will be sent letting you know of the protection failure.
Will this cover a player if they are the lowest salaried player in that position?
A. No it will not. The system is set up to select the next player down in salary. If there is no player available at a lower salary, no auto-substitution will be executed.
Will this cover my team for the Super Bowl?
A. Unfortunately no. Since there is no final round of trading for the Super Bowl, all rosters are locked at the start of the conference championship games and cannot be altered for the Super Bowl.
How do I disable Injury/Bye Protection?
A. Simply contact Customer Service and we would be happy to disable the Injured Player Protection service on your team for you. Just be sure to get your request in by Thursday before play begins for the week.
* There is no protection for Week 1 as you have free trading available to set your desired roster and avoid injured players.

Leak: 'Anime Legends' Bundle coming to Fortnite
Fortnite has added a new Bundle named 'Anime Legends' to the files, confirming a new set of anime-style cosmetics will be introduced soon.
Since the Bundle is only named 'Anime Legends', it's currently unknown if the cosmetics will be based on a series or Epic's original characters, like Lexa and Erisa. A new Item Shop background has also been added for the set, suggesting these cosmetics may be special compared to the average Fortnite Bundle. The new set, code-named 'Manga Crew', is rumoured to include two Outfits, however, this cannot be confirmed.
Credit: ShiinaBR
Although little information is known about the Bundle, we can tell you that the cosmetics are currently encrypted in the files and therefore could be released at any shop refresh without an announcement. We'll keep you updated.
Note: The icons used in the featured image are for the existing Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno Outfits and are not related to the new Bundle.
In other news, details of a new live story event have been leaked.

Tracing The Evolution Of The Maang Tikka
From a bridal staple to a fashion statement, the maang tikka has great significance in Indian culture, especially when worn by the bride.
By Praachi Raniwala | October 25, 2021

Jewellery in India can never be viewed through an isolated lens. A country that has honed its traditional adornment for centuries, any given piece's significance goes well beyond just the sartorial. In the case of the maang tikka, a centuries-old traditional Indian headpiece, the provenance is in fact spiritual.
According to the Vedas, the centre of the forehead is home to the Ajna Chakra or the third eye, the seat of concealed wisdom. This is exactly where the maang tikka ('maang' meaning middle parting and 'tikka' meaning ornament) sits—it represents the ability to control emotions, and tap into one's power of concentration. Hence, the maang tikka is said to bestow the wearer with will and wisdom to embrace their journey in life. Traditionally, the chakra is represented by two petals where the half-male and half-female androgynous deity Ardhanarishvara resides, thereby serving as a metaphor for the holy union of the male and female spiritually, physically and emotionally.

Another legend surrounding the origin of the maang tikka goes back to ancient India when a king victorious in war, would smear the blood of his enemy on the queen's forehead, including the middle parting of her hair. Therein was born the tradition of the sindoor, a sacred symbol of her husband's well being for Hindu brides. Even today, during the wedding ceremony, the groom lifts the bride's maang tikka to apply sindoor (vermillion powder) and places it back—symbolising the bride's sindoor being protected from the evil eye. These traditions make the maang tikka a significant component of the solah shringar (or 16 bridal ornaments) that a Hindu bride typically adorns herself with on her wedding day. "The maang tikka is worn to protect the bride from the evil eye and negative energy. But most essentially, it signifies the union between the bride and the groom," explains Abhishek Raniwala, co-founder of heritage jewellery brand Raniwala 1881. This is why the maang tikka has been retained in the traditional bridal garb as a fitting symbol of holy matrimony over the years.

From flowers to natural diamonds: the making of the maang tikka
Worn by communities across the country, every region boasts its signature take on this head piece—Rajputs of Rajasthan wear a gold and polki drop-shaped borla; Muslim brides favour a more elaborate chandelier-style jhoomar or passa typically made of kundan, pearls and gemstones, worn on the side of the head; and brides in Punjab tend to opt for moon-shaped chand bali-esque tikkas. Noted art historian and curator Amin Jaffer says, "Like much traditional jewellery, I imagine that the form was first known in the form of flowers worn symbolically on the forehead. Over time, petals and blooms were translated into gold and gemstones, often imitating floral forms." Jaffer is drawn to Indian jewellery from the Art Deco period that fuse geometry and light platinum settings with traditional forms. "I would say that the forehead ornaments, nose rings and armbands made by Cartier and Boucheron for Indian clients are among my favourite," citing an elaborate natural diamond, pearl and emerald design by Boucheron (pictured here) from 1928, a commission for the royal family of Patiala.
Rani Vinita Singh of Patiala attests to the importance of this piece of jewellery as a part of their traditional royal garb. "Patiala has a long association with it. We wear the maang tikka regularly; for every important celebration and occasion—be it family weddings, karva chauth, haryali teej or lohri. Along with the nath, it is an important marker for a married woman." The star and moon motif is the royal family's signature design when it comes to the tikka, always crafted from mixed-shaped natural diamonds. Since they are always made to match a suite, the natural diamonds could also be combined with gemstones and pearls." Even though the universal symbolism associated with the maang tikka remains consistent for brides across the country, the indigenous variations add further character to its narrative and evolution.

Then and now: The maang tikka today
The maang tikka has transcended well beyond bridal and wedding wardrobes today. In fact, global influencer Kim Kardashian has worn this innately Indian accessory twice—once with a white sheath gown and another time with a grey co-ord set. Raniwala adds that the traditional maang tikka's design and size too have both evolved over time. "Earlier families preferred bigger tikkas. With changing trends, brides are more inclined towards chic pieces now." The result is a juxtaposition of real diamonds with uncut variants and gemstones.
"Traditionally, maang tikkas were worn only by the bride and other married women. But women today are breaking the traditional mould and embracing it as a fashion statement with a contemporary edge."
Explains Karan Vaidya, Rose, VP Marketing and Retail Operations of diamond jewellery brand Rose.

Rose, which has been designing maang tikkas for over 35 years, is known to give this vintage accessory a more present-day update.
"The current preference is for designs in natural diamonds that blur the line between western and ethnic. We work with fancy-shaped diamonds clustered together to form contemporary asymmetrical flowers. In its most elementary form, our designs have a simple chain ending in an embellished pendant."
Even when working with crescent-shaped jadau maang tikkas reminiscent of what yesteryear maharanis wore, they married uncut diamonds with natural brilliant-cut diamonds to create showstoppers.

While it's always fascinating to study the history of a bejewelled staple, it's more relevant to look at how it's being reinvented to reflect the mindset. In the case of the maang tikka, it epitomises centuries of customs and philosophical symbolism to emerge as a merger of the old with the new—a piece of the past with an eye on the future.

Any singer will tell you: many performances can be hard to finish, if they are emotionally driven.
Sometimes, performers burst in tears, and struggle to finish a song. Other times, the tears will drive them to sing louder, and this is how they shine on the stage. Those in the audience often can feel this emotion, and maybe shed a tear or two themselves.
When we come across a performer who makes us feel emotions we didn't think we could experience, it's hard not to remember them. One of those singers is a 14-year-old named Campbell Walker-Fields.
The teen took the America's Got Talent stage full of hopes and dreams, but had an uncommon goal: for his birth mother to hear the words of the song he was to sing, and hopefully understand the message.
Campbell may not have been the perfect singer, but his emotional journey resonates in his performance. He is the adopted son of two dads, who came into his life after his birth mother decided she couldn't take care of a fourth child.
The boy has never met his mom — he doesn't even know where she is — but that doesn't factor in how he feels about her.
Now, watch thew clip to see the teen's emotional performance that, while it didn't get him into the next round, earned him a standing ovation from the audience.

SA-DA-KO Video Online!!!
This week the sees the release of Sa-Da-Ko's new video for their song 'Forced Evolutionary Virus'.
The video had been the hardest thing we've ever worked on, and as a result had the longest production time of any video we've done to date. The team pulled everything we had access to together and managed to forge something that has turned out to be incredibly impressive.
It would be impossible to list the amount of friends and family who stepped in to help us getting this to the finish line. But Mycho would like to thank everyone involved in bringing the Huge, robot scorpion of a video, to life.
It was the video that nearly killed us… But in the end it has given us a brighter look towards the future.
Mycho
It's been a while since the blog was updated… but its mainly because over the last few months we have been taking stock and figuring out what the future of the company is. This of course has taken a lot of organization and effort against a mountainous work load. So here it is, what going on with everything?
I get a lot of hassle about this ALL the time "Where is it?", "Whys it not finished?", "Is it ever even gonna come out?". And I'm sick of the same thing over and over again. So here is the skinny.
Creepsville is finished, at least as far as we can go. It now is waiting on actors, who need to dub lines, scoring which takes a long time and then the inevitable final screws turning once everything is in place.
"So why don't these people just do it?". They ARE doing it. But the simple fact is that we shot a film on 'nothing', nothing but blood, sweat and human sacrifice and as a result it difficult to demand that people who are gracious enough to do these things for us in their spare time to work faster. It will be done when it's done and believe me… no one want to see this film out more than we do.
Everyone who has worked on this has done an outstanding job, FOR FREE, and to get the quality we want and NEED this film to have… we are willing to wait as long as it takes.
Slasher House is doing just fine… It all on track… we were hopeful for a Halloween premier this year, but life gets in the way and that was always a long shot either way. Slasher House is much more a case of something that is being taken care of by the current team and me 'personally' and although we have a lot of other projects constantly being juggled, it is a definite priority and is going very well.
There will be news about Slasher House and its release and such in the next month or so.
Well believe me… all the cool shit we have planned is about to kick you in the face piece.
Unfortunately some projects like I'VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO TONIGHT THAN DIE… well… died. The project just needed the right weather and living in North West England, we just didn't get the weather we needed to shoot it during the summer. Instead of trying to catch up and adding more to the pile, we decided it bets to put it on the back burner, but we have plans for it so you'll see the film head into production at some point in the future.
In place of that though watch out for the announcement of our brand new features for 2012.
A lot of people ask me what happened to Mycho TV. Well quite simply, we had a lot of plans for it and everyone (including ourselves) either got too busy or moved on to other things and the shows development kept heading in so many different directions just keep up with the flux and change of life, not to mention the time it was taking to put together something of quality EVERY WEEK.
In the end we decided to regroup so that we could pull the show back together to the quality we wanted it with a regular cast and crew and a higher production value. We have some plans for the show and it will be returning early Spring 2012.
All in all Mycho as an entity has taken a hit this year for many different reasons, it should have killed off this little organization that I've been trying to build since I landed in Preston 7 years ago. But you can't keep a good man down... and I plan to prove that... again.
