KAʻŪ HIGH SCHOOL'S 42 SENIORS WILL GRADUATE ON Friday, May 22 with a virtual ceremony and drive-through diploma-cover pickup. The students will study remotely until the end of the school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Public high schools across the state today announced the dates, times, and formats of their respective alternative graduation ceremonies. The state Department of Education announced last week that traditional ceremonies at public and charter schools would be replaced with alternative celebrations for the class of 2020 due to safety concerns and social distancing guidance.
"Determining the appropriate ways to honor our graduating class of 2020 has been one of the top priorities for my leadership team over the past several weeks," Deputy Superintendent Phyllis Unebasami said. "While we are disappointed that traditional commencement ceremonies cannot be held due to COVID-19, the thoughtful innovation and care with which our schools and community partners have come together has been inspirational. Mahalo to all of the individuals and organizations who are continuing to work behind the scenes to make the 2020 graduation ceremonies truly special."
Schools have started to share logistics details with parents and guardians.

PRESERVATION OF 1,700 ACRES AT KAUNĀMANO AND MANAKAʻA FISHING VILLAGE has been assisted with approval for funding from the state Board of Land & Natural Resources through its Legacy Land Funds. Last Friday, the board approved $2.4 million in conservation funds toward the acquisition of Kaunāmano. The 1,364 acres can be seen from Kāwā and Honuʻapo, rising from the shoreline of Honuʻapo Bay, extending down the coast for four miles. Coming from Nāʻālehu, motorists view the slope to Honuʻapo and the grand views across Kāwā to Punaluʻu to the Kīlauea Volcano. It is a place of many rainbows with winter whales offshore.
The property has been listed for sale for $11.5 million by owner E.W. Moody, who has agreed to accept a price no more than the appraised value. The money will come from Legacy Land and County of Hawaiʻi 's Two Percent funds. The county will own the conservation easement for the land and will oversee its management by the Ala Kahakai Trail Association, which will hold the deed.
Keoni Fox, of the Alaka Kahakai Trail Association, said today that the organization "is committed to the planning and management of Kaunāmano to involve stakeholders, fishermen, and families who know the property." He also thanked Trust for Public Land for putting the parties together for the purchase and preservation of the property. TPL has assisted with numerous Kaʻū properties now in the public trust.

Kaunāmano is part of an ahupuaʻa known as an important watershed in Kaʻū, and for its native Hawaiian historical and cultural significance. According to the Trust for Public Land website, Kaunāmano means "multitudes are placed here," reflecting the "thriving fishing community that once lived and trained in lua – a traditional Hawaiian martial art – on the Kaʻū Coast." The shoreline and pasture include four miles of the ancient Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail, and traditional trails leading to the hundreds of ancient Hawaiian cultural sites throughout the property, says the website. Kaunāmano "boasts more than 400 ancient Hawaiian cultural sites with over 3,900 features," including Pa'ula Fishing Village, Puhi'ula Cave, heiau (places of worship), burial sites, petroglyphs, and pictographs.

According to Trust for PublicLand, "Preserving the land will honor the stately, resilient people who once lived at Kaunāmano and whose descendants continue to make Kaʻū their home. The Trust for Public Land, Ka'ū community, Keanu Family, and many community groups such as Ka 'Ohana O Honu'apo are partnering with Ala Kahakai Trail Association to protect Kaunāmano as a living legacy of the storied district of Ka'ū."
BLNR approved future funding of $875,000 for acquisition of 348 acres at Manakaʻa Fishing Village and its 2.5 mile coastline, including another section of the Ala Kahakai Trail. It also will be stewarded by the county and the Ala Kahakai Trail Association. It has been for sale for $2.5 million by Leslie Agarata and partners, of Waimea.
The 175-mile Ala Kahakai Trail runs from the eastern boundary of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, around South Point, and up to ʻUpolu Point on the northern tip of Hawaiʻi Island, in Kohala.
The trail itself is deemed a National Historic Trail with National Park Service management.
The Ala Kahakai Trail Association is a community based non-profit that helps to connect the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail to the community and ensures that Hawaiian values and principles are acknowledged and practiced. "We foster partnerships with the Trail and help guide the management and sustainment of the Trail. Our vision is that the Trail is a viable, appropriately-used, and managed trail that follows the path of our ancestors – creating a bridge of understanding, respect and balance for all to use, protect, learn from, and appreciate." See alakahakaitrail.org.
Board members with cultural ties and representing communities along the trail are: Dennis Hart, president; Alan Brown, vice president; Kaleo Paik, secretary; Ray Broggini, treasurer; Keoni Fox, La Crivello, and Linda Galano. See alakahakaitrail.org.
The Ala Kahiakai National Historic Trail was established in the year 2000 to protect the corridor and trail network of cultural and historical significance that traverses through hundreds of ancient Hawaiian settlement sites and over 200 ahupuaʻa.

THE MARCH VISITOR COUNT AND EXPENDITURES ON HAWAIʻI ISLAND took a deep dive, as COVID-19 spread across the country, airline and cruise ship arrivals were cancelled, and travel restrictions were adopted by the state and county. Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority released its report this week, showing that the visitor days on the island dropped by 43.8 percent in March, with spending dropping 44.3 percent compared to March of 2019. Arrivals from Japan declined by 51.3 percent, Canada by 42.9 percent, the eastern U.S. mainland by 46.5 percent, and the western U.S. mainland by 50.1 percent. The number of visitors who came to Hawaiʻi in March was 78,389, less than half the number of arrivals in 2019.
The April report is expected to show a much deeper dive in tourism as the islands cut themselves off from almost all visitors in order to protect the community and social distance in order to rid the state of COVID-19. See the full report from Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority.
THE ECONOMY WILL NOT RECOVER UNLESS WE STAND TOGETHER AS AMERICANS TO DEFEAT THIS VIRUS," Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said today. In a review of her recent work on the pandemic, the statement from her congressional office says that over the past month, she worked "hard to make sure that federal, state, and local governments are best equipped to serve the healthcare needs of Americans in response to the COVID-19 pandemic."
Gabbard said that "Congress must stay focused on serving the American people in the midst of the coronavirus public health care crisis. Essential to defeating this virus is contact tracing, testing, and isolation, ensuring personal protective equipment for our first responders and frontline healthcare workers, and strengthening our healthcare system to respond to those who are in need of care."
Pub K, the Public Contract organization that analyzes and watchdogs developments in law and cyber regarding government contract, created this image for its report of the Defense Production Act. See pubkgroup.com
Last week, she introduced H.R.6609 with Rep. Jimmy Panetta, of California, to direct the President to use the Defense Production Act to acquire and manufacture necessary components, materials, and supplies to conduct molecular and serological COVID-19 medical testing nationwide.
According to the report, she puts "frontline healthcare workers and first responders at the forefront, working to get them the PPE and resources they need. She urged House Leaders to support essential workers and to adopt labor rules that would ensure they receive full pay as they work to serve others during the pandemic. She also called for first responders and emergency service workers receive hazard pay as well as additional resources for supplies — especially PPE — so they can keep safe while protecting Americans during this crisis. Gabbard called for specific provisions to protect frontline healthcare workers.
Gabbard and Kaʻū's former congressional Rep. Ed Case led a letter urging House Ways and Means Committee leaders to provide more funding for Hawaiʻi through the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, "which in the past has consistently failed to account for the unique costs of providing medical services in the state. And, to help protect our kūpuna who rely on prescription medications, legislative action to cap prescription drug prices as Americans are already under great financial strain during the crisis."
The report says "Gabbard has consistently prioritized fully funding Medicaid. This is all the more urgent as Hawaiʻi's healthcare system is under enormous additional stress from the COVID-19 coronavirus. She is fighting to lift the Medicaid cap to territories to ensure full coverage for all Americans, as well as preventing Medicaid funding rollbacks by states."
To ensure that keiki receive healthcare services "they need, even as this pandemic strains our healthcare infrastructure, Gabbard and more than 140 bipartisan members of Congress wrote to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader McCarthy calling for specific relief for children's hospitals."
The report says Gabbard also recognizes the importance of not-for-profit blood centers in the healthcare system, "and is committed to ensuring that blood centers can continue to provide lifesaving blood components to patients in communities across the country."
A MESSAGE FROM WEST KAʻŪ'S STATE REP. DRU KANUHA encourages Hawaiʻi citizens to "Stay safe, connected, and prepared.
"As we prepare for another month of the State's stay-at-home mandate, this week's early signs of a plateau in the number of related deaths and confirmed cases of COVID-19 was a positive sign that our general physical precautions are working. Although it is still early to call, the State's efforts to contain and limit the spread of COVID-19 has been inspiring in light of the other updates we get from states reporting greater numbers and less fortunate, more heart-breaking stories.
"In West Hawaiʻi, we have seen quick action from the Department of Health to investigate and monitor the second cluster of COVID-19 found outside of Oʻahu. With the health of our community at the forefront, these efforts by DOH as well as the service by many selfless healthcare professionals, emergency services, and essential personnel are deeply appreciated.
"There is still much work to do before we can consider a date to reopen our State, but as long as we continue to do our part and flatten the curve of COVID-19, communities in Kona and Kaʻū will have more stories of triumph and aloha than despair and heartache."
No COVID-19 cases so far in the zip code areas of Volcano,
Pāhala, and Ocean View. White indicates zero cases, light
yellow indicates one to five cases. The 96772 area in
Kaʻū has one case recorded. Map from DOH
HAWAIʻI ISLAND HAS THREE NEW CASES OF COVID-19 reported today. Five new cases were reported statewide by Department of Health, three on Hawaiʻi Island and one on Maui, and one Hawaiʻi resident diagnosed outside of Hawaiʻi, bringing the state's case count for Hawaiʻi Island to 73 and the state to 618 since the pandemic began, according to state Department of Health.
On this island, Civil Defense reported today that 53 have been cleared as recovered, and the remaining are quarantined at home and monitored by DOH. No one on Hawaiʻi Island is presently hospitalized and no one has died. The state death toll is 16.
The daily message from Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense Director Talmadge Magno says, "Know that all the policies of distancing, gatherings, face coverings, cleanliness, and personal health remains in effect. Your help is needed to keep Hawaiʻisafe. This Island and State is doing well in minimizing the spread and impact of the coronavirus. It is so important to ramp up all the preventive measures so we can get better and keep Hawaiʻisafe.
Thank you for listening.
This is your Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense."
Gov. David Ige and Alan Oshima, Hawai'i's Economic and Community Recovery and Resiliency Navigator, discussed plans to keep the community safe while beginning to reopen designated sectors. Oshima said his group is "connecting with business and community representatives to gather input, share ideas, and provide ways we can create Hawai'i's 'new normal.' The planning phases include stabilization (immediate health and economic needs), recovery (job growth and investment), and resiliency (restructuring for a stronger future). Both also emphasized the importance of seeing the entire chain of economic recovery – from agriculture and energy to tourism, non-profits and social services – and how to rebrand Hawai'i as not just a pretty place, but a safe, healthy state that depends on residents and visitors alike acting responsibly." Learn more at recoverynavigator.hawaii.gov.
In the United States, more than 1.1 million cases have been confirmed. Recovery is about 133,000 recovered. The death toll is at 63,733.
Worldwide, more than 3.25 million have contracted COVID-19. Recovery is about 1.1 million. The death toll is 233,416.
OCEANVIEWCOMMUNITY CENTER remains closed until further notice. Suzanne Reiter, President of OVCA, told The Kaʻū Calendar, "When the Center feels it is safe to reopen it will do so, and the community will be notified. Thank you for your continued cooperation. Stay safe and healthy!"

An EMCDDA Paper released today provides an overview of the information available on drug-related homicide (DRH) in Europe. This first snapshot provides practitioners and policymakers with the current state of the art on this topic. It is part of the EMCDDA's efforts to expand its monitoring in the drug-related crime area in order to fully comprehend the broader ramifications of the drugs phenomenon.
Since 2013, the EMCDDA has been working on improving its framework for monitoring the supply side of the drugs problem to reflect the changing nature of drug markets and their wider harms and impact (1). The effects of drugs and drug markets reach beyond those who are directly exposed to drugs in terms of health or social problems. The issue is of serious concern in relation to the overall security situation in Europe and deeply affects communities at large, as drug use and drug markets can act as cross-cutting facilitators of acts of violence.
Literature on the relationship between psychoactive substance use and violence is increasing, although most of this is devoted to the use of alcohol. However, a smaller, but growing, number of studies focus on the drug–violence relationship.
considers the practical implications for monitoring drug-related homicide at the EU level.
There are clearly inconsistencies in the data available on drug-related homicide in Europe. While 10 countries systematically prepare data on this topic, there is variation, between and within countries, on the role drugs play in homicide events. Homicides are internationally well-recorded, but as the report states: 'Research and monitoring activity internationally has rarely looked beyond the link between homicide and the involvement of organised crime in the supply and distribution of illicit drugs'.
To overcome these obstacles there is a need to define and operationalise concepts based on common definitions and integrate them into the EMCDDA monitoring system.
Drug-related homicide is one of the most serious manifestations of drug markets and has a high social cost. It can also be an indicator of wider drug-related violent crime. Comparing these statistics between countries can help identify trends and new threats in order to plan and implement proportionate responses.


Drug maker Eli Lilly and Company is facing additional lawsuits alleging its erectile dysfunction drug Cialis places men at a higher risk for melanoma skin cancer. Several men allege that Eli Lilly failed to warn doctors and patients of an increased risk for the development of melanoma. Melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer. The CDC states the five-year survival rate for a patient with stage IV melanoma is around 15% – 20% and the ten-year survival rate is between 10% – 15%. Cialis and other erectile dysfunction drugs are classified as phosphodiesterase (PDE) 5A inhibitors. In other words, these drugs lower the PDE5A levels in a patient's body which scientists have discovered can increase the presence and growth of melanoma skin cancer cells.
These lawsuits seek to compensate men who took Cialis for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and were diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer. Contact us for more information about these lawsuits or for a free case evaluation.

Q: Don't display field of form if action is edit I have rails form that renders partial with fields list to create new user. Those fields I am also using to render edit form. I wonder if it is possible not to show specific field (i.e. department) on the edit form, because I don't want to give users option to change the department?

A: It can be done in many ways.
I usually do it like
if !@user.new_record?
 # department field.
end

A: Just put at your form:
<%= f.text_field :department unless @user.new_record? %>

A: You can use persisted? method to ensure that it is not a new record that will be inserted or even use new_record? method which will return true if the record is not persisted in your database "New record".
ex ::
<%= f.text_field :department if @user.persisted? %>
 or
<%= f.text_field :department unless @user.new_record? %>

one more way is to check about the action itself which also gives you control on the controller if you render the partial from different view and you want to limit it to specific controller, these are stored in ::
params[:controller] -->> contains the name of the controller ex. UserController  that you just hit on
params[:action] -->> contains the action name ex. new or edit

A: If params[:action] is edit then do not show that field might be by using display none

NGC 2802 (другие обозначения — UGC 4897, MCG 3-24-26, ZWG 91.44, KCPG 194B, NPM1G +19.0207, PGC 26177) — спиральная галактика в созвездии Рака. Открыта Уильямом Гершелем в 1784 году.

Галактика взаимодействует с NGC 2803. Из-за взаимодействия изофоты этой галактики искривлены, а к северо-востоку и к северо-западу от галактики наблюдаются вытянутые структуры с низкой поверхностной яркостью, также подобная менее заметная структура имеется с юго-западной стороны. Такие особенности и ожидаются от быстро вращающейся галактики, испытывающей приливное взаимодействие. Кривая вращения этой галактики асимметрична. Возможно, эта галактика на самом деле является эллиптической с диском внутри, который и проявляется из-за приливных взаимодействий.

Q: Ember Update model after action I have an ember template that loads some JSON data on page load, there are some buttons and when these buttons are clicked I need to make different json calls and update the model.
Everything works fine in this code but the model is not being updated after the action is triggered and the json call is made.
How can I fix it?
App.DatRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function(parms){
        return Em.RSVP.hash({
            datam : Ember.$.getJSON('URL')
        });
    },
    afterModel: function(){
      $(document).attr('title', 'Title');
    },
    renderTemplate: function() {
      this.render();
      this.render('fter', { into: 'outlet', outlet: 'fter' });
  },
  actions :{
    action: function(){
        return Em.RSVP.hash({
           datam : Ember.$.getJSON('URL', {data})
        });
    }
}
});

Thanks

A: Because you're not doing anything that updates the model. Ember does nothing with the return value from an action, be it a promise or otherwise. You need to put the action on the controller and set the model with the data coming back from the ajax call:
action: function() {
    var self = this;
    Ember.$.getJSON('URL', {data})
        .then(function(result) {
            self.set('model', result);
        });
}

or my style, entirely equivalent
action: function() {
    var set = this.set.bind(this, 'model');
    Ember.$.getJSON('URL', {data}).then(set);
}

Students at North Dakota State are mulling the possibility of a partnership with popular ride-sharing app, Uber. The prospective deal could replace an existing taxi and shuttle service operating on campus.
Per a report from The Spectrum, the partnership is being considered by the university's student senate who, in its latest meeting, discussed a possible future deal with Uber. The resulting program with the ride-sharing app could possibly replace the existing Herd Hauler, a Fargo-Moorhead taxi and shuttle program.
North Dakota State students who used the Herd Hauler service require a special sticker on their student ID to qualify for the benefits of the program. For students, the cost of a Herd Hauler ride is half of the total cab fare, and a max total fare of $6 for any cab rides with a total cost of $12 or more.
The Herd Hauler program operates from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday to Sunday, and also operates a shuttle service to the local airport during standard hours.
The Uber ride share program would operate from 8 p.m. Thursday until 8 p.m. Sunday.
To qualify for the program, students would need to register their Uber account with their university email.
In terms of cost, the student senate insists that the first two rides with the program would be free, with every subsequent ride carrying a 15% discount.
A promotional code would also be needed for students to access the program's discounts, with the service only applying to rides within a designated zone. No parameters have been established for this zone, nor have any other explicit details of the program been laid out.
Results from the student senate meeting indicate a contract with the ride-sharing company has been secured, but no timeline has been set for official plans to be finalized.

Our calves are all AI produced and reared on farm. All female calves are kept and the bull calves are either sold to Midfield Meats for the veal or bull beef markets, or are sold to other farmers looking for paddock bulls. These bulls are registered (where possible) through Holstein Australia.
At birth, each heifer calf is allocated a 4 digit number which she retains for life. As a calf, this number is displayed as an ear tag, later to be matched to an NLIS tag (prior to leaving the calving facility) and eventually a collar (when she enters the milking shed for the first time). A file on the main computer is created for each calf (heifers and bulls) so that we can trace each calf back to a dam and sire.
In 2006 we purpose built a calving facility for our increased calving numbers. The facility allow us to house 16 calves individually (or if pressed, we can double them up to 32) and 4 group pens of 20 calves each. In total, we can house in excess of 100 calves in the shed.
The calves enter the calving facility at a maximum of 24hrs old. Those that arrive before suckling off their mum, are given colostrum over the first few feed. The majority however, as left on their mums until they have had a couple of good feeds (observed) and when they enter the facility, go straight into whole milk.
On arrival into the calf facility, each baby is housed in an individual pen until they display effective feeding before being moved to a group plan. A group pen is kept in the shed for as long as it takes to make up a group of 20. This group is monitored for uniform feeding behaviour, size and aggression. When this is established, they are moved to one of the calving paddocks where they are kept as a small group until weaning.
Calves are fed 4 litres of milk once a day and ad lib water. Pellets and hay are introduced from day 2 – 4. Once in a group pen, calves have free access to hay, grain and water.
Weaning occurs when the calves reach 120kg body weight and occurs over a 7 – 10 day period. At this point, the calves are fully fed on supplementary grain pellets, hay (if required) in addition to pasture.
In 2017, we used twilight sedation for the first time to dehorn the calves. This method ensures the calf feels absolutely nothing when being dehorned and the administration of pain relief whilst under, means that they are comfortable and pain free on waking. The process, whilst more expensive per calf, is a game changer for us in managing this process from the point of staff, animal management and the ability to undertake a number of procedures at the same time. It also fits in with our animal health and welfare goals within the business.


Today I still have lots of unpacking and laundry and cleaning to do but I have this unfinished commission I had to complete so I did. Besides who wants to do housechores when one can make some art??
It's called "Cat on wheels" and is the complement of a previously piece I made (Dog on wheels). I have a lot of trouble trying to take the pic because of the beeswax, the wheels and the light. But I'm assure you is so much better in person!
What a glorious Gardenia! and a blessing to find. i can smell it from here. MMMMMMmmmmm!
yummm ...yes...gardenia..i have a bush near my front door..and it smells heavenly!

Where oh where has my creep feeder gone?
Re: Where oh where has my creep feeder gone?
Lol. I had one like that. It ended up in the middle of a pond.

With the cow still stuck in it?
No she some how got out. She was soaking wet from head to toe and was cut up pretty bad. My neighbor saw the whole thing happen and called me and said that the cow was stuck in the feeder and was in the pond. By the time I got there she had got out her self. It happen in the dead of winter.
Woah! That could have ended badly!
Yes it could have the cow looked like she had been through a war she was wore out layed around the rest of the day by herself and moved pretty slow for a few days.
We had a first calf heifer that calves early get in one this spring and couldn't get out. We think she was in it at least a day. Couldn't turn around. We used the bale arms to lift the entry side up so she could get out. She got partially back in a week later. Lowered the top bar a bunch and it stopped. She was dmsller due to calving early. She has grown a bunch this summer. So hoping no more issues.
Had a heifer turn a bale ring over, stuck in it last winter , cold as the devil, don't think she would have survived another day . Just one of those feelings that I went out there that day.

THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF OLE LYNGGAARD COPENHAGEN: HOW SNAKE PENDANT CAME TO LIFE
by Liza Urla on March 11, 2019
Copenhagen, Designers, Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, The Craftsmanship Of, Travelling
We all love the sparkle and lustre of a beautiful jewel, but have you ever wondered how each piece is created from start to finish? GEMOLOGUE is bringing you the craftsmanship series aiming to educate and give you an appreciation of the process and how a spectacular jewel comes to life. While other sectors of industry are losing manual skills to automation, jewellery-making stands true its ancestry. I particularly love brands that invest in age-old jewellery-making workshops, conserving traditional techniques and perfecting new ones. THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF… series will feature design elements, craftsmanship and the labour of love behind every jewel.
Discover The Craftsmanship Of Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and how the 18k gold and green tourmaline snake pendant came to life!
I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Ole Lynggaard workshop as a part of my trip to Copenhagen Fashion Week with the Jewellery Room. There are 45 goldsmiths working in the studio of this family-run jewellery brand, making it one of the largest fine jewellery workshops in Northern Europe. With this kind of reputation, it's no wonder the Lynggaard jewellery brand has the noble distinction of being the appointed jewellery designer for the Royal Danish Court.
Let's take a look at how the serpent motif began.
"With a nod to the past, old traditions are kept alive and new techniques are born unifying the past and present… bringing proud traditions to the new era… ancient craftsmanship & traditions plus state-of-the-art technology" – Ole Lynggaard.
INSPIRATION BEHIND THE JEWEL
Drawing inspiration from the beauty he finds on his world travels, Ole Lynggaard first fell in love with the serpent's beauty and slender elegance during a visit to the Museum of Cairo in 1960. He was captivated by the exquisitely detailed snake ornaments on display and felt the call of the muses to create something special for his lovely wife. Everyone loved the snake design and how it wriggled on the ears, fingers, arms and neck. It was the beginning of the brand's most beloved Snakes Collection – a sensual emblem embodying the opposites of good and evil, and the eternal struggle to resist temptation.
Watching the goldsmith carefully begin his serpent creation, I saw how the design process unfolds. First, he crafts a series of wax moulds by hand, carving each to the design specifications before making a cast. He then grinds, polishes and adds final touches to each sample until he is satisfied with the shape and overall structure of the piece. Before proceeding to the next step creating texture and contrast, the piece goes to Ole and Charlotte Lynggaard for their feedback. Lynggaard believes this step is vital to get the feeling exactly the way he envisioned it.
Ole and Charlotte Lynggaard carefully select the colours of the gemstones for each piece, balancing the tone of the gold with the sparkle of the jewels. These precious stones are then set by the workshop's skilled goldsmiths, taking the greatest care not to damage the more fragile stones.
This master jewel is now ready for production and will form the prototype for an entire new collection. The production process is a tricky one. Lynggaard uses a multi-layered effect requiring several different moulds and pieces to bring the snake to life. Meticulous evaluation makes sure each jewel follows the same thickness, movement, and feeling as the masterpiece in the collection.
Polishing – is a lengthy part of the process, but Ole Lynggaard believes only traditional methods can create the kind of refinement he wants in his jewellery. Rapid prototyping and 3D printing are no substitute for the work of a skilled craftsman. He needs special tools to create the desired effect, but a skilled craftsman uses his or her hands and responds to the sound and feel of the precious metal as they work with it. The precise measurements of a computer cannot achieve the same effect; the balance feels off so it's unnatural to the eye. The feel of a piece is all about balance. By polishing and refining the piece by hand, you feel the energy of the craftsman in all the bends and turns of the snake's body with the same thrill as a rollercoaster!
Satinising technique – another traditional polishing method favoured by Lynggaard to create a refined satin-like effect to the precious metal. It is all done by hand using special tools like a shading engraver. Often Charlotte Lynggaard likes to get inventive with satinising and will design surfaces resembling the bark of a tree or the skin of a snake. The result is this amazing contrast between the polished surface, the satinised surface and the other elements of the piece for a highly sensual finished product.

In the Snakes Collection, Ole Lynggaard imagines the whole anatomy of the snake from its round belly to the curve of the spine as it moves. You can almost feel it moving! The unfinished piece has balance and satinising brings it to life.
Soldering – is part of the assembling process and requires high temperatures to join pieces of this snake pendant together. Lynggaard prefers hot soldering at 700 to 800ºC because you're working at a molecular level as opposed to working at the surface level gluing pieces together at lower temperatures. It makes for a stronger piece of jewellery.
Usually it takes several craftsmen to work on one piece of jewellery, but Ole Lynggaard believes in dedicating yourself to the heart and soul of each piece, and encourages his goldsmiths to do the same. The goldsmiths that work at his workshop in Denmark have spent four years in training and another 10 years honing their crafts. They take great pride in owning the entire jewellery-making process and it gives them a great sense of accomplishment. It makes a big difference to the finished piece.
GEMSTONES & GOLD
Ole and Charlotte Lynggaard chose this emerald-coloured heart-shaped cabochon tourmaline for its warmth. It works really well with 18k yellow gold and is cut and carved to capture the maximum amount of light to increase the lustre. For a sparkling touch and to create movement and shimmer in the serpent's tail, 12 diamonds in 7 different sizes were used from 0.77 mm to 1.30 mm. It all about attention to the smallest details! If the same sized diamonds were used, the piece would loose the movement and fluidity, which makes it so effortlessly beautiful.

Engineers Discuss Big Data with Computer Science Students
This fall, two engineers from Northrop Grumman Corporation in Rolling Meadows visited computer science classes to discuss technology and big data with Loyola's budding computer scientists in the school's brand new STEM lab.
What exactly is big data?
"Big data simply means more information than an organization can manage effectively with their current business intelligence program," explains computer science teacher Ms. Anita Debarlaben. In class, she and her students are examining big data and what makes it unique. Her students can tell you that big data is characterized by three primary factors: volume, velocity and variety. But Debarlaben wanted to do more in her classroom than study big data as an abstract concept; she wanted her students to learn firsthand how it's used in the real world.
"One of my favorite teaching strategies is to keep it real," she explains. "I like to give my students as many real life examples as possible. Technology is changing at a phenomenal rate
so the best way to engage and encourage curiosity is to expose them to real life examples."
To assist with this deeper understanding, Debarlaben turned to Cynthia Jackson and Alexis Caldwell, two engineers at Northrop Grumman Corporation, an American global aerospace and defense technology company. Before teaching at Loyola, Debarlaben herself worked as an engineer in the company's Digital Systems organization where she wrote electronic countermeasures for the F15-Eagle, the U.S. Air Force's primary fighter jet aircraft and intercept platform.
Engineers Jackson and Caldwell spoke to students about how Northrop Grumman, named the fifth-largest defense contractor in the world in 2015, uses big data to provide innovative systems, products and security solutions to government and commercial customers worldwide.
"I was surprised to see the career fields and opportunities that computer science and programming has at Northrop Grumman," says Catherine A. Power '19. "I learned that the company has an aerospace sector, and I thought that it was interesting to see how technology has such a huge impact in the world today."
The presentation comes at a time of growth for Loyola's computer science program. Students can now take courses in computer science principles, which provides a solid foundation for understanding how the computer as a whole works, and Java programming.
To accommodate this growth and other STEM curriculum, this past summer Loyola's Global Communication Center (GCC), formerly a dedicated foreign language lab opened in 2000, was reconfigured to be a more flexible and functional learning space that meets the needs of language students on one side and computer science students on the other. The renovation was made possible by a generous grant from the Helen V. Brach Foundation.
The new STEM lab is now a completely wireless environment with 30 Dell latitude laptops for student use and two 65" flat panel displays that can be used with Apple TV. The teacher workstation is equipped with a 21" Dell 7450 wireless all-in-one computer and a high definition logitech webcam for online video conferencing. The STEM lab also has a Mersive Solstice POD installed. This hardware agnostic device allows students to mirror their laptops to each display and will support as many as 10 connected devices at once. Audio is delivered via TOA 700A Amps and four ceiling mounted speakers. In addition, the new mobile furniture, Debarlaben says, enables students to engage in more collaborative learning.

Piper sent in this song on the state of Britannia. It is thought to be sung in the manner of Ace of Base's "I Saw the Sign," but this has not been clarified.
Lord British wears a jester's crown.
Because we crave that glittering gold.
And go to battle with "our" lord.
And seek the truth of virtue's favour.
To help our land grow like a flower.
Have a plan to assuage us all.
And in the balance is our shard.
Select instead a counselled crown.
Elect from them a noble assembly.
