If you head outside in the wee hours of the morning, you will see Mars and Jupiter at the highest point of the ecliptic, still moving through the deeply intense sign of Scorpio. Jupiter's expansive nature has been opening doors and windows on dark and hidden issues; secrets have been and continue to be exposed. Mars has brought anger and the demand for change in the area of these hidden issues.
Allow yourself the vulnerability to expose the truth of what you have hidden; turn your anger and rage into constructive action. Major change is possible. Put your shoulder to the grindstone.
The Moon entered Aries as the day began, providing much incentive to push forward on a direct, forceful path.
Head outside again (I know it is unlikely… but some of you might!) in the wee hours of the morning before the Sun rises. The pre-dawn sky holds a story. Between 5:50 AM EST and 6:50 AM EST, authoritative Saturn, communicative Mercury, and empowered, often times destructive, Pluto, are seen rising in the east before the illumination of the Sun moves into view at sunrise (7:28 AM EST).
With the Sun in Aquarius, it is the only one of these four planets that is not in heavy, restrictive, duty-bound Capricorn. What does this mean to you? Individually? Culturally? How do you see this reflected? Think about this simply.
I suspect that most of you are working very hard to bring a powerful change to your lives (and the lives of others) by using your voice with self-respect, determination, and integrity.
On the heels of all the work this week brings, the quirky, brilliance of the Aquarian Sun offers relief and intellectual awakening. Watch the Sun as it shows itself over the horizon.
Consider all the powerful, even revolutionary change possible as you awaken and do the work necessary to bring your message to those who need your voice.
The Aries Moon is VOC* (think of it as being adrift, without focus or connection) after 11:15 PM, she will enter Taurus at 8:40 AM EST on Wednesday. Remember, when the Moon is VOC*, there will be no result from anything that is begun. This is neutral; it is not good or bad, it simply suggests that whatever occurs will not have any significant future impact.
Wednesday's pre-dawn horizon continues to be dominated by Saturn, Mercury, and Pluto showing themselves rising in the East shortly before the wild Aquarian Sun. Serious conversations regarding business and government continue to precede change.
At 8:40 AM EST, the Moon, settling down after her assertive stretch through Aries, enters stabilizing and comfort-seeking Taurus.
Wednesday afternoon sees Mercury coming into full contact with Pluto. Those serious talks that have been right on the tip of your tongue (or hidden below the surface) are now ready to come forward to shift the very ground you stand on.
Powerful conversations are likely to change the 'lay of the land'. You may hear things you didn't expect to hear, you may say things you have wanted to say but weren't prepared for the results. Now, the time is right.
You likely have very little idea of how the words spoken now will change things but a seed is planted that will grow over the coming months. Much is brewing beneath the surface, Pluto's work is done in darkness. Pay attention to conversations; listen between the lines.
At 5:21 PM EST, the Taurus Moon forms a stressful square aspect to the Aquarian Sun, pushing you to choose between comfort and necessary, revolutionary change. You have a better idea of what must be done than you may admit to yourself. Get clear.
The Aries Moon is VOC* (think of it as being adrift, without focus or connection) until she enters Taurus at 8:40 AM EST. Remember, when the Moon is VOC*, there will be no result from anything that is begun. This is neutral; it is not good or bad, it simply suggests that whatever occurs will not have any significant future impact.
Thursday begins with a lovely sextile aspect from mental Mercury to expansive Jupiter. You are able to see the advantages and the growth possible from whatever conversations have been occurring over the last few days. Whatever that needs to be said or exposed to bring further clarity, comes more easily and creates less stress.
The Moon continues through steadfast, loyal, sensual Taurus. She makes lovely aspects throughout the day to dreamy Neptune, powerful Pluto, and talkative Mercury.
I suspect that your life will take on a slower, more optimistic tone as you focus on sensual pleasures of love and beauty. Whenever the Moon is in Taurus or Libra, (both are ruled by Venus), make the bed, put flowers on the bedside and make space for love, beauty, and sensuality in your life.
The Taurus Moon is VOC* (think of it as being adrift, without focus or connection) after 10:17 PM EST. She will enter Gemini at 12:40 PM EST on Friday. Remember, when the Moon is VOC*, there will be no result from anything that is begun. This is neutral; it is not good or bad, it simply suggests that whatever occurs will not have any significant future impact.
Since early December, Mars has been playing with Jupiter in Sagittarius which is the sign that Jupiter rules. There has been much activity and anger around revelations of dark Scorpionic secrets in the culture and perhaps, in your community, family, or personal life.
At 7:56 AM EST, Mars, the planet of assertion and direct action, enters Sagittarius and begins to assimilate the lessons of the issues that have been revealed. It is time to envision the growth that's possible and your path forward. Mars will remain in expansive, light-hearted Sagittarius until he enters Capricorn on March 17, 2018.
While Mars is in Sagittarius, you will want to take direct action in-service of your highest ideals. You will also have less tolerance to feeling confined or restricted in any area of your life. This is a great time to seek out adventure, travel, learn about another culture or a new way of thinking.
At 12:40 PM EST, the Moon leaves the sensual sign of Taurus behind and enters curious, information-gathering Gemini. This will be a good weekend for gathering with friends for light conversation and word games.
If you notice yourself aggravated or someone seems cranky in the early afternoon, let it roll off your back. The Moon opposes Mars at 12:53 PM EST. It will pass quickly. Make plans with friends in the evening.
The Taurus Moon is VOC* (think of it as being adrift, without focus or connection) until she enters Gemini at 12:40 PM EST. Remember, when the Moon is VOC*, there will be no result from anything that is begun. This is neutral; it is not good or bad, it simply suggests that whatever occurs will not have any significant future impact.
You can expect a day of mental activity on Saturday. You will be curious about others, you don't want to sit still but want to move quickly and experience variety in all things. This is the way of Gemini.
This is not the weekend to sit languidly on the couch, go to a movie or spend time at a meditation retreat. You will be much happier chatting with new friends, reading, something relatively light, teaching, learning, and gathering information about a variety of topics.
Keep active or you will find yourself restless and skittish. You may notice that you have a shorter than usual attention span. If you encounter restlessness in others, you may be impatient as well. Use humor to defuse any challenging situations.
As evening approaches, you may notice excitement tor mental anxiety. In the wee hours of Sunday morning, Mercury forms a challenging square aspect to unsettling, inspirational Uranus. Open your mind and allow unusual ideas, epiphanies, and shifting understandings of your world. Don't hold too tightly to an opinion, belief, or idea. Thoughts, beliefs, and ideas can change on a dime.
Basically, this is a light-hearted day that requires quick movement and mental engagement. Enjoy as you think outside the box.
If you think about the planets as teachers, consider Mercury as the trickster who moves quickly, talks quickly, and wants to chat-up all the students. Uranus is the unconventional teacher, a bit of a rebel offering insights that surprise or shock its students. In May of 2017, these two joined together to begin a cycle or to teach a class of unusual ideas and a new way of thinking. The next time they come together will be in May of 2018. This is a one year cycle.
With a challenging square aspect between them occurring on Sunday, look back to what you were thinking or learning in May 2017. The line of thinking or communication that you began then now needs to be dismantled in order to begin a new conversation or thinking pattern this May. Don't worry you have between now and May to engage in the process of dismantling.
An upset may occur to push you to release that thinking, you may meet someone who shakes up your thoughts or you may just have wild epiphanies. Allow yourself to begin the process of release.
At 1:57 PM EST, the Moon winds down, moving into Cancer and hoping to sit close to loved ones and relax with a good meal and loving connections.
With Venus and the Sun entering innovative Aquarius this week, you can expect the movement of new ideas and big changes. Over the coming month, you can anticipate unexpected and surprising shifts to the ground beneath your feet. Your perspective and, of course, your personal chart can create excitement or stress. If you experience stress, hold your head high and look for the silver lining, it is right there.
We are currently in the darkest phase of the Moon, the Balsamic phase. The Moon is joining forces in the most conservative, serious sign of Capricorn, with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Pluto. This is quite a pile-up of energy in this prudent, mature sign.
The Balsamic phase of the Moon is a time of inward contemplation, a time to seriously consider your ambitions and your path ahead. Things are about to lighten up somewhat in the coming days with the quicker moving planets preparing to leave serious Capricorn behind and move toward new innovations. Both Venus and the Sun will enter Aquarius this week.
With a closing sextile aspect between Jupiter and Pluto, you may have an opportunity to release some dark influences that began at the end of 2007 with the conjunction between those planets. Ponder how your beliefs impact your deepest understanding of life.
Allow this new energy to move you in a new direction. Begin to release the tight hold that worn out belief systems have on you. Allow yourself to see the world and your place in it in a new way. Hold this message throughout the week.
The Moon continues through persistent, cautious Capricorn throughout the day. Focus on serious consideration of your most ambitious plans for the months ahead.
The Capricorn New Moon occurs at 9:18 PM EST. This is when the Sun and Moon join together, currently at 27° Capricorn. It will aid you to wait and perform your rituals on Wednesday. Remember, never attempt these observances ahead of the exact time of the New Moon. They are best done on the day following the New Moon.
I will post instructions for a simple New Moon ritual on Wednesday. Serious contemplation will bring you to an understanding of the focus of growth you want to begin in the upcoming phase.
With a challenging square aspect from the conservative Capricorn Moon to innovative, wild Uranus at 4:45 PM EST, you may find yourself wanting to move forward but feeling held back by some restrictive outside or inner force. You want to take that step but are held back for a bit longer. Continue your contemplation and serious planning.
Keep Monday's message of releasing worn-out beliefs in mind. Release must happen before you can move ahead.
The Capricorn New Moon was exact on Tuesday. However, it is best to do your New Moon ritual on Wednesday, after the Moon has moved away from the 'beams of the Sun'. The growth of the seed you plant will be supported by the wait.
Keep your ritual simple. Take a moment to write down the changes you wish to begin, create, or increase in the upcoming Moon Cycle. With this New Moon occurring in Capricorn, the intention you set will be ambitious, business related, requiring hard work, and sustained effort.
If you know what house in your birth chart holds Capricorn, it will help you clarify where this effort is needed. For example, if Capricorn rules (is on the cusp of) your 1st house, set an intention for serious effort regarding how you present your personality or in the 4th house, set an intention to bring serious effort to your family relationships or your home environment. If Capricorn is in the 7th house, perhaps you need to make a significant commitment to a partner or in the 10th house, you may need to put your nose to the grindstone and focus on ambitious growth of your business.
If you don't know what house is involved, simply go with your intuition regarding the area of life that requires maturity, focus, and hard work or make an appointment for a consultation. Contact me.
Have two candles available; light a candle to represent yourself, as you are in the moment. Light another candle as an aspiration of what you intend to create. Each day, take a moment to focus on yourself as you light the first candle, then light the second candle, focusing on drawing to you what you want to create, bringing the two candles closer together. Do this each day until at the Full Moon, you will bring them fully together and acknowledge the result of what you have created.
The Capricorn New Moon suggests that you plant a seed of maturity, facing reality, growth through hard work, and stability.
On Wednesday, Venus and the Moon enter Aquarius, lightning up your mood and bringing you out of the dark as you enter a significant growth cycle. The energy of Aquarius encourages us to look at innovative and unusual solutions to long range issues of the human condition. This is an excellent time to look at where you can make a difference in the challenge of being a human on this planet in these times. What can you do to support the growth of awareness in the world? How can you help on a humanitarian level? Look outside of yourself and find a way.
In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, the Capricorn Moon is VOC* from 1:30 AM EST until she enters Aquarius at 3:32 AM EST. By the time you wake up, the Moon will be in Aquarius.
With both Venus and the Moon now in rebellious Aquarius, take the time to consider the areas of life where you are resistant to the pressures of social conventions.
Remember, that while the Moon is a passing concern (remaining in each sign for only a few days) Venus, on the other hand, will remain in objective Aquarius until February 10th. Venus represents values, the ability to create relationships, and the ways that we choose to use our money and resources. Consider where your values are outside, and perhaps, beyond the beliefs and values that the majority of your culture holds.
Take the time to truly and deeply listen to those who think differently than you. Take the time to understand. Learn to express your ideas in a way that others, even those who think much differently than you, may be able to hear. You may feel 'out of step' but you can continue to speak your truth with kindness, honesty, and open-hearted acceptance of the true beliefs of others.
It is a valuable skill to learn to listen without judgment. Aquarius allows you to focus on the importance of your task even as you are able to set your emotions aside, moving you in the direction of a less conventional future.
Early Friday may bring us some challenging aggravation as the detached Aquarius Moon forms a stressful square aspect to assertive Mars, who has little patience while in Scorpio. Don't engage in difficult struggles with family over the breakfast table. Allow agitation and anger to roll off your back.
At 3:27 PM EST, the Moon enters soft-spoken, mystical Pisces, softening your emotional reactions.
At 8:07 PM EST, Mercury forms a sweet sextile to mystical Neptune. You may be tempted to look for an escape route this evening as you are simply tired of dealing with the harshness of reality. Go for the healthy escapes such as poetry, music, or meditation; an extra glass of champagne or wine is fine as well. Choose, perhaps, a movie to dream the evening away.
At 10:09 PM EST, the all-powerful Sun enters Aquarius, beginning a month long experience of expanding your understanding of humanitarian issues. The Sun in Aquarius comes at the coldest time of the year here in the Northern Hemisphere. With the cold, we go inward as our minds move into unexpected areas that bring us forward to new innovations in order to support the growth of humanity. Watch how your thoughts open to new ideas and the connection with folks of differing viewpoints.
The Aquarius Moon is VOC* (think of it as being adrift, without focus or connection) from 6:52 AM EST until she enters Pisces at 3:27 PM EST. Remember, when the Moon is VOC* there will be no result from anything that is begun. This is neutral; not good, not bad, it simply suggests that whatever occurs will not have significant future impact.
Saturday will usher you into a weekend of gentle connections. The Moon remains in fanciful Pisces throughout the weekend, blurring the boundaries between you and others. You may notice yourself feeling more compassionate and forgiving. You may also notice yourself experiencing deep sadness as you are easily overwhelmed by the pain and suffering you see in others.
Take time this weekend to daydream and enjoy any healthy means of escape from the harsh realities of your life. Go ahead and enjoy an extra glass of wine and a good film. Allow yourself to dream, listen to music that sweeps you to another land or best idea yet: meditate.
At 6:21 PM EST, the Moon forms a supportive sextile to Mercury, encouraging you to speak words of compassion, acceptance, and love.
Another day with the Moon forming pleasant aspects to other planets, as she moves though inspired, gentle Pisces. You can easily connect with feelings of unconditional love and kindness as your heart and imagination open easily into areas of transcendent, mystical sensitivity.
You are able to feel the connections between yourself and others as the boundaries between you and others seem to simply dissolve. Allow this sensitivity and take steps to give of yourself to those who need your love and support. You are able to understand that what you give supports all of humankind, yourself included.
Solitary pursuits support your connection to divinity. Spend time in or on the water, at a beach or river, or simply take a long, hot bath. Take time to daydream, spend time in silent contemplation, and find your way back to your own center. You are susceptible to very subtle energies so make sure you are spending time with people who uplift you.
The Pisces Moon is VOC* (think of it as being adrift, without focus or connection) from 8:13 PM EST until she enters Aries on Monday morning at 1:28 AM EST. Remember, when the Moon is VOC*, there will be no result from anything that is begun. This is neutral; it is not good or bad, it simply suggests that whatever occurs will not have any significant future impact.
2018 is bringing great change, possible growth, and focus on some area of your life. Prepare to make the most of these powerful shifting winds with a consultation with Laurie at Astrolore!
The night sky is very quiet right now with Jupiter and Mars coming over the horizon in the early morning hours. Venus is currently situated directly on the other side of the Sun from Earth. She will slowly edge away from the Sun's glare over the coming weeks. By late February, she will begin her brilliant evening display which will last through September of 2018.
Monday brings us into a powerhouse of a week as Venus, the planet of love and beauty, joins with the Sun in its Superior Conjunction, when it is on the other side of the Sun. This aspect becomes fully expressed early Tuesday.
The Sun and Venus join with Pluto early on Tuesday as well, impacting the early part of the week powerfully.
Along with the deep and empowered conversation, these three planets are having, the Sun and Venus each form a supportive sextile aspect to expansive Jupiter.
Venus and the Sun, later in the week, also sextile with assertive Mars as Mars and Jupiter travel together through the deep waters of Scorpio.
There is a powerful opportunity here for the serious empowerment of love and of the feminine to break down the overblown patriarchal connection to negative sexuality, violence, and unhealthy aggression.
While in Saturn, the Sun, Venus, and Pluto are all in Saturn's domicile of Capricorn, prepare to watch how integrity is rewarded and lack of integrity receives its comeuppance.
This is the year that we each must tell the truth and receive the supportive gifts or wrath of the Universe.
You may experience a sense of great relief along with these three sextiles on Monday morning. Consider how the sextile of the Sun and Venus to Jupiter turns your attention toward what brings meaning to your life and asks you to seek out others who share your passions and your goals.
Another sextile is formed between Mars and Pluto offering assistance as you commit yourself to the direction of those passions and goals.
There will likely be some stress in the evening as the Libra Moon, wanting to make everyone happy, encounters others who may not want to support the agenda. Relax and allow the more powerful conversations of the day to hold the space for powerful movement.
The significant conjunction between the Sun, Venus, and Pluto is exact in the early hours of Tuesday morning. This brings powerful development as love and the feminine break down elements of negative masculinity, the misuse of sexuality, and violence.
In the coming months with Saturn, the Sun, Venus, and Pluto all in Saturn's domicile of Capricorn, integrity must overtake control and greed. We must each do our part to uphold our love for the Universe and each other.
The Moon lingers in diplomatic Libra until mid-afternoon, forming a gently agreeable sextile to Mercury at 11:13 AM EST. This allows for engagement in conversations that encourage understanding and connection.
At 3:06 PM EST, the Moon leaves agreeable Libra behind and enters passionate Scorpio, closely followed by Venus sextile Mars at 4:07 PM EST. The conversations suggested for Tuesday afternoon may lead to romance or at the very least a purposeful and passionate connection. A pleasantly assertive Sun sextile Mars shortly after midnight,t heightens the possibility of romance.
The Libra Moon is VOC* (think of it as being adrift, without focus or connection) from 11:13 AM EST until she enters Scorpio at 3:06 PM EST. Remember, when the Moon is VOC*, there will be no result from anything that is begun. This is neutral; it is not good or bad, it simply suggests that whatever occurs will not have any significant future impact.
Following the intensity of Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday offers a day to rest and allow yourself to daydream and reflect.
At 2:40 PM EST, the Scorpio Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to dreamy, sensitive Neptune.
Allow yourself to get lost in daydreaming, watch a film, engage in whatever activity brings you to a place of 'flow'; spend time in meditation, listen to soothing music, or create something that comes from your deepest sense of mystical oneness.
Thursday will remove your access to easy mental flow as Mercury entering Capricorn, where it will remain until January 31st, brings your mind to the stern edge of reality. Integrity remains in the limelight for each of us and the culture at large.
I hope you were able to enjoy the sense of flow that was available on Wednesday as it may be the last opportunity for such bliss, at least until Mercury enters Aquarius at the end of January.
As you begin the day, Mercury has joined Saturn, the Sun, Venus, and Pluto in cautious, serious Capricorn. This is a large pile-up in a very restrictive sign. If you know what house Capricorn holds in your chart, you will understand where the focus of hard work and increasing responsibility lies. This is the area of your life that came into focus in late December and will require ongoing attention and effort over the next few years. Make sure you are engaging in this area of your life with the highest integrity, maturity, and sustained effort. The reality of your situation will show where you need to deepen your attention and tell the truth about your commitment.
The Scorpio Moon forms a passionate conjunction with Mars at 7:35 AM EST. This will awaken you with strong energy to move forward. Shortly thereafter, she forms lovely sextile aspects to both the Sun and Venus, suggesting pleasant, intimate interactions with those you love. Take advantage, it should be a sweet morning leading into a quiet afternoon and evening.
The Scorpio Moon is VOC* (think of it as being adrift, without focus or connection) from 9:54 AM EST until she enters Sagittarius at 2:04 AM EST on Friday morning. Remember, when the Moon is VOC*, there will be no result from anything that is begun. This is neutral; it is not good or bad, it simply suggests that whatever occurs will not have any significant future impact.
By the time you begin the day on Friday, the Moon is in idealistic, freedom-seeking Sagittarius. This suggests an emotional need for autonomy, physical space, and exploration. Sagittarius is an optimistic sign and brings relief after the intensity of the past few days with the Scorpio Moon. You are more apt to see the humor and lightness of your circumstances and are ready to explore a more expansive view of the world and those around you.
Although the day is likely to be relatively upbeat, by evening, you may feel Mercury's connection to Saturn looming. Communications and conversations seem to highlight the differences between yourself and others. There are indeed serious issues to consider but try not to fall into the trap of pessimistic thinking.
Be aware of your own self-talk and how you speak to others. Offer open-hearted kindness and resist the temptation to judge them. Remember, you know only your own mind and your own life, there is no space to judge the lives of others. Seek out true compassion.
Your best bet this weekend is to spend time alone.
Saturday begins with a heightened awareness of how differently you think from those around you and conflict arises easily. You may feel pessimistic and easily frustrated or aggravated. This is reflected in the early-morning conjunction from Mercury to Saturn.
The day does not get easier from there. At 2:08 PM EST, Venus forms a troubling square aspect to Uranus putting you at odds with your loved ones. We will all need a sense of autonomy and freedom. Taking time for yourself is the smartest choice you can make.
It is unlikely that you and those you love will want to go in the same direction, so go ahead and go your separate ways. Allowing that to be okay and supporting each other in this choice will support each of you. There is no need to explain yourself. We all need time alone.
As Venus sextiles Chiron at 9:51 PM EST, any issues of abandonment that came from the separation are able to be healed. Connect deeply on Saturday night as you will again need time alone on Sunday.
If you assume that needing time alone was a one-off for Saturday, you'll be in for a surprise when the same need shows up on Sunday thanks to a restless, unsettling square between the serious Capricorn Sun and detached eccentric Uranus.
The Moon enters Capricorn at 2:43 PM EST increasing a need for emotional distance. Again, give yourself and others lots of physical and emotional space. This would be a good day to work on individual, innovative projects that require long-term effort.
The Sagittarius Moon is VOC* (think of it as being adrift, without focus or connection) from 3:48 AM EST until she enters Capricorn at 2:43 PM EST. Remember, when the Moon is VOC*, there will be no result from anything that is begun. This is neutral; it is not good or bad, it simply suggests that whatever occurs will not have any significant future impact.

Excision and Downlink Team Up for New Single "Resistance"
Proceeds from the new track will benefit the Equal Justice Initiative.
Dubstep kings Excision and Downlink are longtime friends and collaborators. With heavy offerings like "Crowd Control" and "Robo Kitty," the pair have dominated the bass music scene for a decade. Now, they're back with another collaborative single.
"Resistance" was first heard as the as the intro to the first ever official Excision B2B Downlink set at Lost Lands Festival in 2018. With the country's social and political landscape currently in turmoil, there was no better time to release the track for the duo.
The intro proclaims, "The greed of world leaders has gone too far. The time has come to take back the planet." At the drop, an emphatic "Time to resist!" heralds a heavy and relentless bass assault on the senses. Each producer's individual styles can be heard on the track, adding to an already elite collection of collaborations from Excision and Downlink.
Proceeds from the timely release will directly benefit the Equal Justice Initiative, a nonprofit that seeks to challenge racial and economic injustice, and put an end to excessive punishment and mass incarceration in the United States. More information on the nonprofit can be found here.

The 1337 kg spacecraft was carried onboard PSLV C25 on November 5, 2013 from the Indian spaceport at SDSC, SHAR. The spacecraft was injected precisely into the intended 250 x 23000 km orbit with an inclination of 17.864 degree, marking the beginning of ISRO's first interplanetary mission to planet Mars.
The minimum energy transfer opportunity from Earth to Mars occurs once in 26 months. The opportunity in 2013 demanded a cumulative incremental velocity of 2.592 km/sec.
The following five payloads were included as per the recommendations of the ISRO's Advisory Committee for Space Sciences (ADCOS).
MENCA, acronym for Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser, is one of the five scientific payloads in the Mars Orbiter mission, contributed by SPL, VSSC. MENCA conducts in situ studies of the composition and distribution of the Martian exosphere as a function of radial distance and time. The Mars Orbiter spacecraft reached Mars, after a journey of 10 months, in September 2014: a period of high solar activity when the exosphere of Mars is expected to be more extended. Thus, the orbital opportunity and time frame of MOM are highly conducive to probe the upper atmosphere-exosphere of Mars.
The deployed views of the spacecraft indicating the scientific payloads are shown below.

Discovery of the Month: The Presidio is for Bee Lovers
Thursday, Feb 02, 2017 Category Nature and Science; Park Management
The Yellow-Faced Bumble Bee (Bombus vosnesenskii)
To glimpse what San Francisco was like 150 years ago – a time when much of the city was wind-swept and covered with sand dunes – take a walk along the Presidio's Lobos Creek Valley Trail. Here you'll find native plants, birds, and perhaps the largest population of bee species in the City.
While the honey bee generally gets the lion's share of attention, there are 1,600 bee species native to California. At least 64 of these live in the Presidio (the non-native honey bee came to California from Europe around the time of the Gold Rush).
We talked to Dr. John Hafernik, Professor of Biology at San Francisco State University and Director of ZomBee Watch, about bees in the park. "There's a lot more than just the honey bees out there," he said. "Of course the honey bee is important for agriculture, but we also have a rich diversity of native bees in California, and many of them have really interesting life histories and ways of surviving."
Two Sweat Bees in a Poppy at Lobos Dunes
John was involved with two bee surveys in the Presidio – one conducted in 2004 and the other in 2009. They found that in areas in the Presidio where the habitat was being restored, such as Thompson Reach, bee diversity had increased, especially after the Tennessee Hollow Watershed was restored. "This is why it's important to establish benchmarks, especially since we're concerned about the effects of climate change and changes in habitat," John explained. "With this data, we can measure how changes in the environment can impact bee populations."
Green Sweat Bee (Agapostemon texanus)
Which begs the question, why would anyone want to go where lots of bees are hanging around? For one, simply looking at John's photos tells us that many species are quite beautiful to behold, such as the fuzzy yellow-faced bumble bee (Bombus vosnesenskii) and the bright iridescent green sweat bee (Agapostemon texanus – shown above). While all bees have the structures to sting, many don't have the ability to penetrate human skin and are actually quite docile. Honey bees on the other hand do have a barbed stinger, which kills the bee after the stinger is lodged in a victim's skin. But the honey bees' stinger has evolved in a way to "make life miserable for the honey bee," John said. In protecting the hive, "worker honey bees die, so ultimately the individual in hive culture is expendable."
Digger Bee (Habropoda miserabilis) in flight
Bees are a critical link in the ecosystem for plant reproduction and act as the primary pollinators of many plants in the Presidio. We have flowers that exist to attract pollinators, and flowering plants have co-evolved with bees over millennia so that when a bee collects nectar and pollen from a flower, pollen from the stamens (the male reproductive organs of the flower) stick to the hairs of the bee's body. At the next flower, some of the pollen might get rubbed off onto the flower's stigma (the flower's female reproductive organs), allowing fertilization to happen. The bees, on the other hand, thrive on the flower's pollen and nectar, and combine the two into a sticky substance informally known as "bee bread" that forms a balanced diet for their larvae.
Carder Bee (Anthidium pallliventre)
Unlike the honey bee, which is a social creature and lives in colonies, most bees are solitary and nest in sandy spots like the Presidio's Lobos Dunes. Bees need moisture to thrive, and sand dunes wick up water – and with San Francisco's plentiful fog, there's a regular renewal of moisture in the ground after winter rains. But no matter the season, you can see bees throughout the Presidio – most notably from the end of February though early fall. Spring is also a good time to see queen bumble bees zipping around the park as they gather pollen and nectar to start new colonies. So now is a good time to head out into the park and spot our many bee species.

Q: Second moment of exp distributed rv and find a sequence of real numbers such that the estimator is unbiased Let $ X_n  $ be a sequence of iid $ \exp(\lambda) $ distributed rv´s with $ \lambda>0 $.
a) We know that $ E[X_i] = \frac{1}{\lambda} $. Show that: $ E[X_i^2] = \frac{2}{\lambda^2} $.
b) Compute $ a_n > 0 $ with the solution of a), such that the estimator $ T(X_1,...,X_n) := a_n \big(  \sum_{i=1}^{n} X_i \big)^2 $ is unbiased for $ \tau(\lambda) = \frac{1}{\lambda^2} $
My idea:
to a): i use the density of the exponential distribution and then we get for the second moment
$ E[X_i^2] = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2 \lambda e^{-\lambda x} 1_{ \{ x\geq0 \} } dx = \lambda \int_0^\infty x^2e^{-\lambda x} dx = \lambda (-\lambda^{-1} e^{-\lambda x} x^2) \bigg\vert_0^\infty + \lambda \int_0^\infty  2x \lambda^{-1} e^{-\lambda x} dx = 2\int_0^\infty x e^{-\lambda x} dx = 2( -\lambda^{-1} e^{- \lambda x} x ) \bigg\vert_0^\infty + 2 \int_0^\infty \lambda^{-1} e^{-\lambda x} dx = \frac{2}{\lambda} ( -\lambda^{-1} e^{-\lambda x} ) \bigg\vert_0^\infty = \frac{2}{\lambda^2} $
$ \Rightarrow E[ X_i^2 ] = \frac{2}{\lambda^2} $
to b): i know that $ E[ a_n \big( \sum_{i=1}^n X_i \big)^2 ] \overset{!}= \lambda^{-2} $ must hold. Then
$ E[a_n \big( \sum_{i=1}^n X_i \big)^2]  = a_n E[\big( \sum_{i=1}^n X_i \big)^2] \overset{*}= a_n (Var( \sum_{i=1}^\infty X_i) + (E(\sum_{i=1}^\infty X_i)^2 ) = a_n(\frac{n}{\lambda^2} + \frac{n^2}{\lambda^2}) = a_n(\frac{n(n+1)}{\lambda^2}) %% \sum_{i=1}^\infty E[X_i^2] = a_n \sum_{i=1}^\infty \frac{2}{\lambda^2} =a_n \frac{2n}{\lambda^2} $
$ \Rightarrow a_n = \frac{1}{n(n+1)} $.
Thus, the estimator is unbiased for $ a_n = \frac{1}{n(n+1)} $

A: No it is not correct.
You should say $E((\sum X_i)^2)=V(\sum X_i) + E^2(\sum X_i)$
and then you have to find $V(\sum X_i)=\sum V(X_i)= \sum [E(X_i^2)-E^2(X_i)]$
and $E^2(\sum X_i)=(\sum E(X_i))^2$.

The Greater Los Angeles County Region Integrated Regional Water Management (GLACR IRWM) group has finalized its 2014 GLACR IRWM Plan. IRWM Plans are regional plans designed to improve collaboration in water resources management. The first IRWM Plan for GLACR IRWM was published in 2006 following a multi-year effort among water retailers, wastewater agencies, stormwater and flood managers, watershed groups, the business community, tribes, agriculture, and non-profit stakeholders to improve water resources planning in the Los Angeles Basin. It provides a mechanism for: 1) coordinating, refining, and integrating existing planning efforts within a comprehensive, regional context; 2) identifying specific regional and watershed-based priorities for implementation projects; and 3) providing funding support for the plans, programs, projects, and priorities of existing agencies and stakeholders.
The GLACR IRWM group worked on updating the 2006 GLACR IRWM Plan to comply with new State integrated planning requirements, improve the content, and make the group eligible for future grant funding. The GLACR IRWM Plan review process, which included public hearings, allowed stakeholders to revisit the Plan's goals, objectives, and priorities in light of changes that have occurred since 2006. In compliance with State requirements, the Boards of the IRWM member organizations adopted the 2014 GLACR IRWM Plan. The County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors adopted the 2014 GLACR IRWM Plan on May 20, 2014. Following the final public hearing, the 2014 GLACR IRWM Plan was approved by the Greater Los Angeles County Region Leadership Committee at its August 27, 2014 meeting.

This Cat Chases This Mailman Every Day for an Amazing Reason!
Mailmen are used to meeting dogs during their itinerary. However, it is a little rarer for them to be chased by cats....
Everyone knows that dogs and mailmen have a rather difficult relationship, but we rarely consider what our other pets think of postal workers. Levi Davis, a postman in the small town of Taranaki, New Zealand, learned this in a surprising way. Dedicated to his work, Davis always delivered his letters and parcels without fail. It was his duty, after all! Every day, when he arrived in front of a certain house, he found himself face to face with a special visitor who had a rather unusual request…
1. Levi Davis had been a postman for a long time.
Like many of his colleagues, he had his share of strange stories while working on his itinerary. Few, however, left him speechless.
2. It is no secret that cats and dogs are not the biggest fans of strangers staring at the front doors.
Virtually anyone approaching a pet's territory can put it on alert.
3. Levi was familiar with people's pets as he walked along his daily route.
In fact, according to him, one of the benefits of his job was to meet a lovely animal on his way.
4. Even when the animals were not friendly, he didn't mind.
Whether they barked or whistled at him, he knew that these animals came with the territory they were protecting!
5. There was, however, a stop on his way that he was looking forward to every day.
In this particular house, a local cat was waiting for him. The question, however, was whether he was friendly or whether he would tear poor Levi to shreds.
6. Every day, when Levi arrived in this part of Taranaki, this cat would run outside and head straight for him.
The first time it happened, Levi didn't know what to expect. He didn't know why the cat was acting like that. Was he angry?
7. Very quickly, Levi went into a state of alert, preparing to receive a few scratches.
Fortunately, he quickly discovered that he had nothing to fear. Every time this cat approached him, he had a very specific request…
8. Levi was very surprised by this cat.
Levi couldn't believe his eyes when he realized what the kitten wanted: no matter what the weather or the day of the week, this cat would come to see him without fail to get some attention.
9. The cat, which Levi later learned, was called Tortie, and began to greet him in this way from the first day of Levi's itinerary.
It was as if the cat knew exactly when Levi was due to arrive!
10. Of course, whenever he anticipated that his friend was on his way, the cat would rush outside to say hello!
Under any circumstances, Tortie could never get enough of Levi, and it showed. But that's not all…
11. Tortie was following Levi.
Every day, after Tortie rushed to greet Levi on his bicycle, he would rush to the nearby fence, making sure Levi followed him. Don't worry: it was all part of the routine…..
12. Once Levi arrived at the fence, Tortie quickly climbed up on the roof until the postman caught up with him.
You see, these two had developed a system special enough to hang out together.
13. This is how Levie and Tortie did it.
To do this, Levi would set up on his bike, then Tortie would jump off the fence and jump into the basket at the front of Levi's bike!
14. Perched on a pile of letters and packages, Tortie patiently waited for his best friend to treat him like a king!
It was clear that Levi had the magic touch when it came to this cat.
15. All the while, Tortie would be purring just to tell Levi how much he loved hanging out with him.
It was almost as if Tortie was cheating on his own owners every day! Imagine the scandal if these two got caught cuddling each other?
16. Tortie would sit in Levi's mailbox as long as the postman allowed him to, even though he knew he would be back the next day to do the same thing.
He loved seeing Levi every day.
17. Levi could not deny that he too loved the daily interaction with this sweet cat.
And to think he thought a cat like Tortie wanted to attack or scratch him!
18. Although their relationship may not have extended beyond Levi's postal route, it did not make her any less unique.
Fortunately, Levi didn't have to worry about facing the anger of a much larger animal…
19. Does this story surprise you to the point that you doubt its veracity?
Look how this kitten reacted when he realized that his best friend was stopping delivering the mail… What a cute kitten! He is just as dedicated to being cuddled every day as Levi is to having all his letters and parcels delivered.

Jeseni 2004 je veliko prahu dvignila novica, da EU vsem novim državah vsiljuje uradni zapis »euro« brez sklanjanja, kar je v nasprotju z besedotvornimi pravili uradnih jezikov štirih novih članic; poleg slovenščine (evro) še litvanščine (euras), latvijščine (eiro) in madžarščine (euró). Oktobra je bil sklenjen dogovor, da se zapis »euro« uporablja v pravno-formalni komunikaciji z ECB in drugimi ustanovami EU ter na gotovini, v Sloveniji pa se beseda evro uporablja v slovnično pravilni obliki in sklanja.

Evropska himna

Evropska himna temelji na zadnjem stavku Beethovnove devete simfonije, ki vsebuje besedilo Schillerjeve Ode radosti (izvirno nemško An die Freude). Himno je prvotno, leta 1972, sprejel Svet Evrope, leta 1985 pa tudi Evropska unija, tako da jo danes igrajo ob uradnih priložnostih tako Sveta Evrope kot Evropske unije. Zaradi velikega števila jezikov v Evropski uniji, himna nima uradnega besedila in jo izvajajo popolnoma inštrumentalno.

Kia Motors to Set Up New Production Unit in Monterrey, Mexico
On Wednesday, Kia Motors Corp. announced that by 2016, it will build a car assembly plant in Mexico. The plant will help Kia Motors make a foothold in Mexico's local production market and that in turn help the company to converge worldwide demand for new cars.
Kia Motors is one of the leading automobile companies in South Korea. More than 30% of Kia Motors's stocks are owned by Hyundai Motor Company. The company has total assets worth of $35.6 billion and in 2013, posted a net income of $3.8 billion. The plant will cost $1 billion and it will be built in the vicinity of the city of Monterrey.
The company said an investment agreement between Kia Motors and Mexico Government has already been signed. The site Monterrey is located in Northeast Mexico and Kia Motors will produce "a range of yet-to-be-confirmed compact models at the new plant." The construction of the plant will not be delayed; Kia Motors wants the construction to start in September 2014 so the work could end by the first half of 2016.
The annual production capacity of the plant will be 300000 compact cars. The global manufacturing capacity of Kia Motors is 3.37 million cars. Of this, 1.69 million cars are manufactured in South Korea's domestic units. Rest 1.68 million vehicles are produced across its overseas manufacturing units, which means when the plant will be operational, it will contribute to almost 17% of the company's total global production.
The upcoming automobile plant will occupy almost 500 hectares of land. The site is also the home of many other commercial units, many of which are facilities of supper companies. The reason Mexico has been chosen to set up a new plant is that it is one of the countries where Kia Motors doesn't have a presence. Also, there are highly skilled and low-cost labours in Mexico and Mexico is the fourth-largest auto exporter in the world.
Since Mexico is near to the US, Kia Motors can meet the demand of new compact vehicles in the US market. The vice chairman of Kia Motors, Hyoung-Keun Lee said in this regard "We are committed to producing world-class quality vehicles here in Mexico that feature industry-leading styling and high-tech convenience."

Buying Motors
Would you drive the world's smallest car? One of these tiny motors will cost you at least £5,000
WOULD you drive one of these tiny motors?
Two of the world's smallest and most unusual cars are going under the hammer in London next month.
These two tiny motors could sell for at least £5,000
But while they might be perfect for whizzing around the UK's congested cities, they aren't exactly the most practical.
Both being sold off at the RM Sotheby's Battersea auction on September 5, the first of the pair is a tiny two-seater electric.
The Zele 1000 was built by Zagato, the world-famous design house better known for penning some of the most exclusive Aston Martins and Maseratis.
The pint-sized 1974 model is powered by four 12-volt batteries which are charged by plugging them directly into the main supply via a transformer.

The yellow car has room for a driver and one passengerCredit: SWNS:South West News Service
It has a range of just 50 miles, and a crawling top speed of 25mph.
At less than two-metres long, the Zele was driven by its original owner for 11 years before being passed through two private collections and subject to a full nut-and-bolt restoration.
The compact yellow motor is one of just 500 ever built.
It's being sold without a reserve, but has an estimate of £5,000 – £10,000.
The second tiny car due to be sold off is a 1975 ACOMA Mini Comtesse, a French-built three-wheeler.
Just 1.7-metres long, it's fitted with a 49cc engine developing just 3bhp.

And the unusual car has an even slower top speed of 20mph.
Despite being a single-seater, the ACOMA has two doors – a conventionally hinged door on the driver's right and a roof-hinged gullwing door on the left.
The ACOMA Mini Comtesse also carries an estimate of £5,000 – £10,000.

Colorado DNR
2013 Rocky Mountain Guest of Honor
Mike King has led the Department of Natural Resources since 2010, navigating the agency through significant reorganization, regulatory accomplishments and landscape-scale protection under the direction of Governor John Hickenlooper.As Executive Director of DNR, King guided the creation of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, a merger of two previously stand-alone divisions that serves as an important example of Governor Hickenlooper's efforts to shape a more efficient state government. King also shepherded the move of the Colorado Geological Survey from DNR to its new home at the Colorado School of Mines, where it can more cost-effectively serve Coloradans as a critical source of research and information.King has also executed three major regulatory initiatives designed to strike the evolving balance between development of our oil and gas resources and protection of the environment and human communities. He guided a lengthy collaborative process with the U.S. Forest Service and the public to develop a Colorado Roadless Rule that dramatically increases safeguards and preservation of our spectacular forests. He has also overseen a period of record revenues for the Colorado State Land Board, which raises money for K-12 education in the state. In addition King has played an important role in resolving water allocation challenges between Colorado's Western Slope and Front Range. One of his priority missions is bringing more Colorado youth into the outdoors and into natural resource-focused careers.King is a native West Slope Coloradan. He became the Assistant Director for Lands, Minerals and Energy Policy in January of 2006 and was appointed as Deputy Director of the Department of Natural Resources in September of 2006. Mike was appointed executive director of DNR in May 2010. He was reappointed to the position by Governor John Hickenlooper in January of 2011.
Prior to his employment in the Executive Director's Office, Mike worked in the Policy and Regulation Section at the Colorado Division of Wildlife in various capacities for six years and was an Assistant Attorney General from 1993-1999.
Mike received his Bachelors degree in journalism from CU-Boulder, law degree from the University of Denver and a Masters in Public Administration from CU-Denver's Graduate School of Public Affairs.
Mike currently lives in Parker with his wife Amy and their three children.

Bangkok used to be noted for its wild all night massive party clubs, but this has changed a bit over the years. With a maximum 2am closing time in effect for most legit spots, it's no longer party until the sun comes up, and additionally, young Thais have taken to frequenting smaller and more intimate venues as of late, so the big massive clubs aren't being built anymore, but in their stead have come a great selection of places to dance and party.
Undoubtedly, the hottest club right now is the wild Sing Sing Theater, a Shanghai 1930s fantasy that fuses theater with dance club. Also popular with the highbrow crowd is the new Club at KOI, an internationally acclaimed fashionistas paradise (with branches around the globe), which occupies a magnificent spot high above the city on Sathorn. Those who want a big party experience head to the happening Levels Club over on Suhkumvit Soi 11, which is one of Bangkok's hottest party spots, along with nearby Sugar.
Other happening openings include Beam, Demo, and the popular Violett over in fashionable Thong Lor, all of which have DJ's spinning house, techno, and hip hop to go with the great mixologists at the cocktail bars, and are wildly popular with the young upscale Thai crowd.
Of course there are still some of the top longstanding clubs in other areas to go to as well, like the famed party venue Route 66 on RCA (Royal City Avenue, same venue as Onyx). Back over on Sukhumvit, the underground club Glow is famed for its late night parties.
Demo might be located in an old warehouse and covered in graffiti, but make no mistake, this pulsing nightclub is a playground for the well heeled. One look at the cars in the parking lot will give you an idea of the crowd, mostly young and very well to do Thais, seemingly out to party all night on the family credit card. Demo actually adjoins another late hours party club, Funky Villa, in what is rapidly becoming the epicentre of Thong Lor nightlife on Soi 10, and you can dance until the wee hours here, with a range of hip hop, techno, and house music being spun by visiting and resident DJ's in the two large club rooms. There is a five page drink menu here, with all sorts of signature cocktails and high end bottles of whiskey available. Make sure to bring your credit card, as prices are on the high end here.
Glow has been a leader in the Bangkok underground dance club scene for many years now, and although some of the newer and more snazzy places have larger following, Glow still retains a core group of faithful followers. Come here to enjoy international DJ superstars and live music evenings, as well as to marvel at the Funktion-One sound system, one of the best in the world. It's a small underground vibe hangout that feels more like a European club, a bit dark, unpretentious, and you are coming to dance and enjoy, not to be seen, which isn't often the case at many of the other clubs. It also is one of Bangkok's few after hours clubs, open until 3 most nights, sometimes even later.
Sukhumvit Soi 11 is now the undisputed party capital of Bangkok, and Sugar Club is the latest on the scene to get into the act. This new dance club has a state of the art sound system and is committed to bringing great live bands and hip hop clubbing to the masses. There are international DJ's guesting here and spinning tunes, and the party club has some great weeknight specials, such as 5 drinks for 500 baht or Ladies Nights with drink specials for the lassies. The lighting is creative and the crowds turn up here on the weekends, so be prepared. If you aren't into hip hop, don't come anywhere near here, and be prepared to get sweaty, as it is pretty cramped and hot, but hip hop lovers will have a great time.
Route 66 is a Bangkok institution, perhaps even more fabled now that its rival, the neighboring Slims/Flix has closed. Open over 20 years now, Route 66 is famed for huge parties. It's the scene of the Thai youth movement, with thousands of university kids heading here nightly. There are four immense dance zones, that feature everything from live bands playing Thai pop to hip hop to house, and there is also a large open-air space to party at. You'll also get to experience traditional Thai partying here, where groups share a bottle of whiskey, congregate around a table, and drink and dance right where they are seated. It's far more of a group spot than couples, but if you offer a toast, you'll most likely make friends pretty easily.
Their moniker says "an honest club with an honest vibe," and the latest dance club to grace trendy Thonglor is a bit of a departure from the usual Thai club filled with whiskey drinking tables and little space to dance. Here, you'll find a huge dance floor and minimalist industrial warehouse look, with the focus being on the music. Thumping techno and house rule the roost here, with live DJ shows, a state of the art sound system, laser lighting and a fog machine to enhance the atmosphere. The club attracts a mix of foreign and Thai hipsters, and is set in the happening 72 Courtyard complex, which is full of snazzy eateries and craft beer and mixology cocktail joints, so you can have a bite prior to coming in to dance.
Newly opened Onyx is now the biggest dance and party club in town. Never mind that it is over on youngster-happy RCA, not really known for sophistication or being an overly popular tourist area, this place does really bring it, with a 2,500 person capacity stadium-like dance hall ensuring some wild nights. In addition to the cavernous main dance floor, there is also a second floor balcony that is spacious, as wells as fifteen private VIP booths for your own party. The club has state of the art sound and lighting systems, top international DJ's coming in to spin tunes on a regular basis, and confetti bombs and laser shows galore, with all the masses blissed out under one happy roof. For the young, hip, and inter, this really is the club to go to for a wild dance night out.
While Bed Supperclub may have closed down, Sukhumvit's party central Soi 11 keeps on going strong in the nightlife department, with the slack taken up by new kid on the block Levels. This swank electronic nightclub with a view is located up on the 6th floor of the chic Aloft Hotel, and is now the place to be seen and party in lower Sukhumvit. There is plenty of house music being played here, but Levels excels in its DJ's, bringing in some of the top international acts from around the world to rock the house. There is a large dance room here with a giant LED chandelier overhead, and then there is a club zone that features a great sound system. There is also a terrace bar that looks out over all the Sukhumvit neon and gives you a chance to catch your breath. There are plenty of promotions and theme nights here, but you are guaranteed one heck of a party just about any night of the week.
Party central Thonglor had many of its long-running clubs close down over the past few years, but they are slowly being replaced with new hipper, and more intimate venues. The latest and perhaps most popular spot is Violett, an underground lovers mecca, with industrial decor, cool neon lighting and fog, and a rather bohemian feel, far more akin to a European club than something in Bangkok. The music goes heavy on techno and trance, and there is an excellent selection of popular live DJs from around the globe brought in on a regular basis. An added plus here are signature drinks and shots made by a knowledgeable set of bartenders, The club features two levels, a great L-Acoustics sound system, and knows exactly who it is catering to, with a large "F*** the Mainstream" sign displayed at the entrance.
Easily Bangkok's most highbrow dance club, Sing Sing Theater is a fantasy replica of Shanghai in the 1930s, with hanging red lanterns, dancers in red robes with patterned fans, and metal cages spread across the room, making it appear as if a shady brothel of yesteryear. Seedy it isn't though, as the fine drinks, high prices, and top DJs from around the world ensure that the clientele are Bangkok's most well heeled and most ready to party. Never mind that the dance floor consists of almost nothing, just head out and join the wild throng. It's a combo of theater and nightclub, and truly is unique. If the whole fantasy getup strikes a familiar chord, it's because nightlife designer mogul Ashley Sutton (Iron Fairies and Fat Gutz, etc) was behind this one as well.

In a dramatic, down-to-the-wire vote to avert a Department of Homeland Security shutdown, House leaders from both parties agreed late Friday night to pass a seven-day stopgap measure to keep the vital agency running.
With just over two hours left until the midnight deadline on the agency's funding, House Democrats agreed to sign onto the short-term measure in a final 357-60 vote that will only kick the can down the road another week.
The Senate earlier in the evening swiftly approved a seven-day measure by voice vote before adjourning for the weekend, leaving only President Obama's signature to keep the lights at the DHS on.
Weeks of impasse and last-minute scrambling in Congress exposed deep divisions within the Republican Party in the fight against Obama's executive actions, which would provide deportation relief to as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S. Leading up to this week, efforts to tie the executive actions to a DHS funding bill failed in the Republican-controlled Congress, forcing leaders to shift strategies as the deadline to a potential shutdown approached.
It was an action-packed finish after a flurry of legislative maneuvers Friday. Earlier in the evening, the House Republican leadership suffered an embarrassing defeat when a short-term funding measure to keep DHS running for an additional three weeks failed to garner enough GOP support. Meanwhile in the Senate, lawmakers Friday morning approved a "clean" bill that stripped all anti-executive action language from the measure while keeping DHS funded through September.
The final measure managed to clear the House only after Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi agreed to support the one-week extensions, promising that it would lead to a long-term solution. Earlier in the day, Democrats aggressively whipped against the House bill, arguing in favor of the clean funding bill that passed in the Senate.
"We are asking you once again to help advance passage of the Senate passed, long-term funding of DHS by voting in favor of a 7-day patch that will be on suspension in the House tonight," Pelosi wrote in a letter to House Democrats. "Your vote tonight will assure that we will vote for full funding next week," she added.
Michael Steel, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, fired back Friday night saying that there was no "deal" with Pelosi to back a clean, long-term bill. "There was no such promise made," Steel said.
Six hours until a Homeland Security shutdown. #EnoughAlready—time to pass the bipartisan funding bill now.
The passage now tees up yet another cliff for Congress, and the stakes remain high for vital homeland security operations. In a 46-page document outlining the agency's contingency plan in case Congress blows past the midnight deadline, DHS officials determined that roughly 87% of employees would be required to show up for their jobs, but would not be paid – including Coast Guard, border patrol agents and Transportation Security Administration airport screening officials. Another 30,000 workers would be sent home without pay.
In a statement released Friday evening, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said President Obama met with members of his cabinet and senior staff in the Oval Office to discuss a possible DHS shutdown. Obama then called the Democratic leadership in Congress – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid – to press that the agency not be shuttered.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agreed this week to strip provisions that unravel the immigration actions from the DHS funding bill and bring them up in a separate vote. Senate Democrats, however, successfully blocked those immigration riders on Friday in a 57-42 vote.
The divisions between the sharply conservative and more moderate ends of the GOP put Boehner's leadership sqaurely in the spotlight. The three-week band-aid was designed to buy the speaker additional time to reconcile with Senate Republicans while also keeping a close eye on the legal challenges to Obama's executive actions on immigration. But without much Democratic support, Boehner was forced to rely heavily on his own conference to unite in pushing the measure forward. Ultimately, 52 Republicans voted against the three-week stop-gap, potentially putting Boehner's speakership in jeopardy.
However Rep. John Fleming, a Lousiana Republican, swatted down rumors of a Boehner coup, saying "there is no discussion or talk among conservatives at least" of trying to get rid of him.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., explains why he's "had it with this self-righteous, delusional wing" of his party and why he's strongly pushing his party to pass a clean DHS funding bill.


It's a dream for some of us: discover at the bottom of the newly acquired land an abandoned barn with high ceilings and beautiful beams. This dream has become a reality for others and this barn discovered has become a beautiful house of character. Discover 10 incredible barn interiors found on Pinterest that make you want to take the key of the fields.
All this open space gives you the fear of the worst in terms of heating. Unless the barn only serves the summer months, it can not be denied that this building must do the maximum on the insulation side. The good news is that you can see big heat source side and imagine a fireplace or stove with majestic dimensions. No doubt this object will be the centerpiece of the barn.
It is unfortunately difficult to find in France an original sliding barn door but you can buy or even make it yourself.Completely connected with the building, this door gives an extra cachet to the set and reminds the initial function of housing. As the barn does not need to multiply the doors inside, so privilege the beautiful for these closures.
If it's a shame not to dwell on the aesthetics of the doors, you can still see light for other parts of the barn. remember that this space has conquered you with few ornaments and that it is its rustic appearance that seduces. In other words, do not complicate things because the barn and its volumes are sufficient themselves. No need for complicated floors or sophisticated wallpapers, the main one is already here.
As already mentioned, the ceiling and its height are the real added value of a barn. Still, we must be able to admire them! At this level, we can only rely on artificial light to fill the view.Know how to vary the lengths of suspension to create a particular atmosphere and highlight some details of the frame.
If it does not have any openings (except for the door), changing the use of the barn into a home requires the creation of several windows and doors. By opening outward, it reveals its potential breathtaking panoramas. Surrounded by the countryside and nature, it opens up to breathtaking landscapes that it would be a shame to deprive yourself.
We have already repeated it several times (proof that we think so!) but the frame of the barn is really its strong point. We must do everything possible to preserve, restore and magnify. For example, you can repaint your beams to highlight them or play on the lights to make the most of them.
Just because you decided to settle in a barn does not mean you have to adopt the country or rustic style.Fortunately ! Other styles are very suitable for this type of building such as industrial deco. One can also be inspired by much more modern atmospheres like the minimalist spirit. Associated with XXL objects, the minimalist style blossoms in a space like the barn, leaving the volumes free to express themselves.
We bet your barn will become the gathering place for your entire tribe. With its airy space and quiet neighborhood, it is the ideal place for large parties and festive evenings. In these conditions, take the lead in arranging your barn to accommodate a maximum of people. In top trio, we vote for an XXL table, an open kitchen and a central island capable of gathering twenty people (at least!).
If your barn has sufficient ceiling height, it is possible to build a floor. Only advice, keep a piece that keeps the height for the majestic side.The ideal would be to install a mezzanine to join useful and pleasant. To mark the occasion, we opt for a sophisticated staircase. It must be considered as a strong piece of the house, especially if it is in the middle of the barn.
We do not forget the outside of the barn! You can continue to keep the rustic look of your barn if you like it but you can also radically change its pace without betraying its character. Depending on the work and the openings created during the construction, it will undoubtedly be necessary to review its exterior. Take the opportunity to give your barn a facelift and pep's!

COP26 Event to Show How Artists Can Drive Climate-Change Action
Artists and creatives can be key resources to getting people to act on climate change.
The "Culture: The missing link" event at COP26 will explore how artists can communicate the message.
Artists embedded within their communities are well-positioned to drive local action.
Alison Tickell, founder and CEO of Julie's Bicycle, said that we must pay attention to how we're damaging the planet, and she thinks artists can help communicate that message in powerful ways. Her UK-based nonprofit mobilizes the arts and culture sector to take action on the climate crisis.
"No amount of data, science, or technology can ever make us feel the world in the same way as art can," she told Insider. "Art and culture have a huge role to play in breathing life into climate issues and to inspire people to take action."
Tickell is chairing an event titled, "Culture: The missing link," at the UN Climate Change Conference UK 2021 (COP26) in Glasgow on November 5, which will explore the key role of arts and culture in climate transformation. The session, which is a partnership with the British Council and Arts Council England, will show how artists and musicians from around the world are developing sustainable work and a climate-driven creative practice, she said.
The discussion will feature a variety of artists, activists, and environmental experts, including author Elif Shafak, Fridays For Future India founder Disha Ravi, scientist and climate communicator Ed Hawkins, and others. Musician and EarthPercent ambassador Love Ssega, poet Selina Nwulu, and Nova Ruth will perform, and there will be a screening of a film showing artists and activists from around the world.
The event will also highlight how Season for Change, a cultural program that's striving to inspire climate action, has engaged organizations and communities across the UK.
"We want people to be inspired and ignited by the many ways that artists are using their voice to raise awareness of climate issues," Tickell said. "And, in tandem, to understand that culture really is the missing link in driving climate action. Why? Because humans are driven by emotions and the arts make us feel."
Because artists offer culturally specific perspectives and are embedded within their communities, such as through libraries, galleries, or theaters, they're well-positioned to drive local action on climate change. Public art, for example, gives people a way to engage with their environments.
"We're witnessing an incredible creative surge within local communities everywhere, inspired by climate and environmental issues," Tickell said. "From city gardens to low carbon arts festivals, from pedal-powered music shows to nature-inspired poetry performances."
Grassroots efforts using arts and culture can help citizens understand the unique climate challenges their communities face and inspire them to take action, Tickell said. But donating to local arts and supporting them in other ways is just as important as engaging with creatives.
"Artists also need professional support through policy and funding, which is aligned to environmental concerns. How on earth can they thrive otherwise?" she said.

27 Movies Like Pride and Prejudice
Sharon D Send an email 2 weeks ago
Is there anything as romantic as Pride and Prejudice? It's impossible not to get swept up in the story of how Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy loathe each other after terrible first impressions, only to realize they were perfect for each other all along. Its long-lasting legacy is about much more than just the delicious hate-at-first-sight love story, however. Mr. Darcy's charm isn't in his aloof, grumpy personality, contrary to what parts of pop culture might have you thinking; his real appeal is in his actions after his initial rejection. Rather than getting pushy to "prove" his love, he gracefully steps away, makes real changes to be a better person, and lets Elizabeth take the lead. It's that behavior that really underlies the enduring Mr. Darcy fantasy (that and his "beautiful grounds at Pemberley," of course!).
The story's enemies-to-lovers plot and romance as social commentary have inspired countless other movies, and no matter what your favorite aspect of Jane Austen's story is, there's sure to be another movie that will spark the same feelings! We've rounded up a few of our very favorites, from modern rom-coms that have the same sparky chemistry to other adaptations of Jane Austen's books and more. Keep reading to see which of these movies you should put on your to-watch list!

Q: How to debug custom component in Oracle Digital Assistant? I'm writing a component for Oracle Chatbot, but I can't and don't know to debug my code.
My component imports with success to Oracle Digital Assistant (ODA), but I have a lot of work to test.
My component:
"use strict"
module.exports = {

    metadata: () => ({
        "name": "DocumentNumber",
        "properties": {
            "numberDocument": { "type": "string", "required": true }
        },
        "supportedActions": [
            "allow",
            "block"
        ]
    }),

    invoke: (conversation, done) => {
        // Parse a number out of the incoming message
        const text = conversation.text();

        var document = "";
        if (text) {
            const textSize = text.length;
            if (textSize < 10) {
                conversation.invalidUserInput("xxxxxx");

                done();
                return;
            } else {
                document = text;
            }
        } else {
            var errText = "xxxx";
            conversation.logger().error(errText);
            done(new Error(errText));
            return;
        }

        conversation.logger().info('DocumentNumber: using numberDocumento=' + document);

        var express = require('express');

        var linkReturn = "";
        axios.put('http://xxxxx', {
            numeroDocumento: document,
            filial: 0001
          })
          .then(function (response) {
            linkReturn = response;
            console.log(response);

          })
          .catch(function (error) {
            linkReturn = "";
            console.log(error);
          });

        // Set action based on age check
        //conversation.invalidUserInput(linkReturn);

        if (linkReturn !== ""){
            conversation.invalidUserInput(linkReturn);
            conversation.transition('allow');
        } else {
            conversation.invalidUserInput(response.data);
            conversation.transition('block');
        }

        done();
    }
};

I would like to know how to debug my component setting a value for properties numberDocument.

A: Have you looked at this documentation of how to create a custom component?
https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/digital-assistant/tutorial-cc-dev/index.html#DeployYourCustomComponentServicetotheSkill
There is a chapter on how to import it into ODA and how to test it.
If you to your components in the Oracle Cloud you in the top right you can select:

This will show the things you put in your conversation.logger().info() hence you have to replace your console.log() with conversation.logger().info("Stuff to log.")

Public overwhelmingly backs the government's new measures to tackle coronavirus
Matthew SmithLead data journalist
March 24, 2020, 8:54 AM UTC
Two thirds of Britons say it's going to be easy to follow the new rules for the next three weeks
Last night Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced stricter measures to tackle the COVID-19 (also known as coronavirus) outbreak. The new rules effectively require all Britons except those who can't work from home to remain indoors unless they are buying food, exercising, or seeking or giving medical assistance.
A snap YouGov survey, conducted overnight, finds that the public overwhelmingly support these new measures. Fully 93% of Britons back the move, including 76% who say they "strongly support" it.
While the vast majority of all social groups support the move, women are more likely to strongly support it than men (82% vs 70%), and older Brits are more likely to do so than younger Brits (85% of those aged 65 or more compared to 60% of 18-24 year olds).
The Prime Minister said that these new measures would be in place for the next three weeks, after which time they would be reviewed.
Three weeks indoors, except for food shopping and exercise? Easy peasy, say two thirds of Brits
The results of the survey also show that two thirds of Brits (66%) believe it's going to be easy to get through the next three weeks under these conditions. Four in ten (42%) told us they thought it would be "fairly easy", while an optimistic 24% believe it will be "very easy".
Only 29% say they think it will be hard, including 7% who are expecting it to be "very hard".
There is little to set the genders, age groups and social grades apart when it comes to how difficult they think it will be to stay largely cooped up for three weeks.
Brits split on whether new police powers will be enough to ensure compliance
Police are empowered to fine anyone who is not complying with the new rules, and will also be able to disperse gathering of more than two people. Britons are divided on whether these powers will be sufficient to get people to follow the rules – 39% think they are and 39% think they are not.
Like the public as a whole, most social groups are closely split on whether or not the new police powers will be enough. Young people are a notable exception – 49% think they are sufficient compared to 34% who think they are insufficient – a 15 percentage point gap.
Those who voted Lib Dem in 2019 tend to be more sceptical than the rest of the electorate: 46% think the powers won't be enough, compared to 37% who think they will be, a nine-point difference.
Over the course of this crisis the government have shown themselves willing to introduce stricter rules if the ones currently in place are not working. If the fines and dispersal orders do not improve the situation, then we may see tougher measures still. A separate YouGov survey conducted yesterday found that 82% of Britons would support the police being able to arrest or prosecute anyone who should be self-isolating but isn't.
See the full results for the snap survey here: support/opposition to measures; easy/hard to follow measures; and police powers sufficient/insufficient
