As I was biking my way to Dutch class this morning I had to roll another sheep over. You don't hear that every day! Yep, it's the second time I've had to grip that spiky barbed-wire fence and alley-oop myself over to the sheep side.
It's actually a very sad thing to see, a sheep on its back, legs in the air…they look like they are dead. It's freaked me out both times now (until I get a bit closer and can see her wiggle).
As I made a bee-line to said sheep, the others slowly stood up, eyeing me, and cautiously walked ~just a little bit~ farther away from my determined direction.
I softly spoke to the little lady and said, "Just one sec", "It's okay"…the usual sheep-flipping talk… she just solemnly flailed her legs and kind of looked me in the eyes.
I bent over and lightly pushed the dewy-wooled sheep and POP! she's ok again and gives a little jog away. Then looks back. They all look back…at me.
The first time this happened the sheep's little lamb was standing by her throughout the whole ordeal. Talk about pressure! It was so sweet, but also so sad as I approached —not knowing if the mother was still alive. She was! And she too scampered away.
Back on my bike and off to class.
So, in English (because I wouldn't have a clue where to start this sentence in Dutch!), I tell everyone "I just had to flip a sheep over".
Nooooo. So, I thought it was understood. They got it.
Good thing I'm always on sheep patrol now!
Fact: Cast sheep A sheep that has rolled over onto its back is called a "cast" sheep. It may not be able to get up without assistance. It happens most commonly with short, stocky sheep with full fleeces on flat terrain. Heavily pregnant ewes are most prone. Cast sheep can become distressed and die within a short period of time if they are not rolled back into a normal position.
Why does a sheep die on its back? A sheep has a rumen which enables it to digest grass. This is basically a large fermentation tank where various bacteria break down grass to produce digestible food. This process produces a lot of gas! The fermentation tank has a pipe in at the front and a pipe out at the back. When the sheep is upside-down, these exits are blocked so the gas produced cannot escape and just builds up in the rumen until the poor sheep's lungs are crushed and it is unable to breathe.


Is it just me, or is it the case that as soon as anyone even thinks about having a child, they immediately rush out to buy a massive seven-seat SUV? It often seems like that's the way of things, and to me, it smacks of overkill.
The Honda Civic is what's known in established motoring parlance as a 'small family car'. Now, if logic is anything to go by, that should mean it'd be suitable for a small family. And, that's exactly what I've got. Bess is the smallest member at a year old, while Felix is only a little bigger at three. Mum Anna probably wouldn't thank me for divulging her precise age to all and sundry, but as she constantly reminds me, she's neither as old, nor as decrepit, as Dad.
Over the next six months, the all-new Civic will become the fifth member of the Aistrop family; and, during that time, we'll see if it can cope with the wide-ranging demands of family life. Will the kids' child seats fit in the back comfortably? Will a double-buggy, a supersize change bag and all the other assorted paraphernalia that accompanies small people fit into the boot? Will the upholstery and carpets be hardy enough to cope with a constant barrage of crumbs and dribble? We shall soon see.
The version of the Civic we've chosen to face the toughest of all tests is the one that the majority of buyers will choose. It only has a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine, which may sound ridiculously tiny in a car of this size, especially when it's expected to haul around a family of four and a bootful of junk. However, because this particular engine is fitted with a turbocharger, it delivers a very useful 129PS, while still keeping official fuel consumption and CO2 emissions impressively low. So far, we've got nowhere near the 58.9mpg suggested by the paperwork, but it's very early days.
On the trim front, we've gone for the third-rung SR grade because we reckon it strikes the best compromise between kit and affordability. It takes the already fairly generous kit of the SE, which includes alloy wheels, air-con, Bluetooth, DAB radio and parking sensors, and adds leather-covered controls, automatic wipers and a posher touch-screen infotainment system with sat-nav and a rear parking camera. Everything a busy parent could ever need – we hope.
You also get a really impressive suite of standard safety systems that includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist and all manner of other clever technology. And, of course, safety is of paramount importance in a car that you use to carry your loved ones.
So far, life with the Civic is pretty rosy. It's a very nice car to drive, because that engine is really perky, and the suspension strikes a really nice balance between comfort and agility. We're also enjoying all the luxury toys. Perhaps most importantly, the kids seem to like it (not least because blue is Felix's favourite colour), and when your days revolve mainly around keeping the little ones happy – if only for your own sanity – that really counts for a lot.

The Cornerstone of
a New Chicago
The story of One Two Pru is a story of reinvention; of Chicago's regeneration with every generation. Here, companies are instilled with a sense of purpose and pride — both for Chicago and their role in the fabric of the city.
ONE PRU
One Pru stood as a beacon of rebirth and a new age of prosperity for Chicago when it was completed in 1955, as it ended a two-decade hiatus of skyscraper construction following The Great Depression and economic strain of World War II. The city's tallest building at the time, One Pru quickly became Chicago's most prestigious office address, serving as headquarters to some of the world's most powerful companies, including pioneering ad agency Leo Burnett.
Each building, a landmark of its own. Together, a 2.3 million-square-foot powerhouse of influence and inspiration.
Two Pru
Nearly four decades later, Two Pru added 58 stories of striking postmodernist architecture to Chicago's skyline. Designed by Stephen Wright, the building's chevron setbacks offer a timeless architectural elegance, unmistakable from any angle. At its origin, Two Pru was the tallest reinforced concrete structure in the world at 995 feet and won several awards for structural design.

Movie Review: Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Runtime: 2 hours, 12 minutes
Rated: PG-13 (for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence)
Writers: Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman
Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana
Despite all of the atrocious adulterations and meat-headed melodrama of the 2009 Star Trek movie, director J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Super 8) is back at it with Star Trek Into Darkness, a second movie that takes the finely recreated crew members and puts them into something more credible.
The last film had Kirk driving a 300-year-old classic car when he shouldn't have even known how to drive or been able to get gas for it. It had more exploding planets and it had Kirk sleeping with hot alien chicks with Winona Rider cast as Spock's mother. This time around, the continuing sophomoric trend stops with Kirk just sleeping with hot aliens. I'll put up with that much.
Now I could spend more time pointing out the former film's absurdities or I could just tell you that in this movie, there are less of those and we get a near-total reboot of Khan with Spock and Khan going fist-a-cuffs. That alone is worth the price of the ticket, but lest I be accused of prattling on about just the things I liked, here is the synopsis.
After a mission on another world, the Enterprise heads back to earth where Kirk is censured for a decision made involving contact with a primitive species. When a rogue element brings mass destruction and a loss of life to the Federation, Kirk is called upon to lead a manhunt to bring the perpetrator back home. But being that he must venture to the edge of the neutral zone at a time of war with the Klingons, the stakes of survival are low, as are the odds of capturing a ruthless and dangerous man who is as ambitious as he is capable of eliminating all who get in his way.
Into Darkness is a good description of not only what the Star Trek series has always been about, but of the darkness within. The prerogative with the new movies has been the personal growth of its characters and their struggles in dealing with each other while having to make judgment calls and weigh choices. These choices center on the value of human life, the meaning of love and friendship, and more subtle elements than the old shows and movies cared to delve into. The oldies were more grandiose in conception, focusing on our outlook and what we would someday become, as well as the problems we would face. Both represent expanded thinking, albeit on different scales.
Love it or hate it, the new introspective take shows us how even our entertainment evolves as we do. This time around, I was delighted to find more reflections to the original Star Trek series and previous movies (with costume designs and patterns, sounds, etc.) more so matching the original, but I was also forced to accept that this is the future of Star Trek. This sort of "Dawson's Trek," young-adult-targeting is just what Star Trek has become. Maybe it had to for its influence to survive? And that may not be as bad as some (I) once thought. At the conclusion of it, I was okay dealing with a more emotionally conflicted Spock than Leonard Nimoy's.
While the drama is tuned up (sometimes too much), the over-the-top storylines are thankfully tuned down. And while a few points of the plot raise some questions afterward, they don't detract from anything during the viewing. And since the plot doesn't exacerbate common sense or our expectations in one unlikelihood after another, we can focus on what is accomplished. It must also be considered a plus how the film has a lot more respect for things like distances in space travel, arranging travel logistics, and tech specs in general. The special effects are (no surprise) dazzling. But not everything is a step up.
Benedict Cumberbatch as
"Khan"
The interpersonal drama sometimes fails. We aren't ready to cry at the drop of a hat or be moved at each of the junctures where we're supposed to be. Nearly every character offers up what we expect of them. Chris Pine's Kirk and Zachary Quinto's Spock, with Saldana's Uhura, do exactly what we need them to do, but Benedict Cumberbatch's Khan takes some getting used to, although his voice is a lot more memorable than his immediate presence. And then there is the fact that a total revamping of The Wrath of Khan that purposely messes with our heads in terms of re-arranged events – as if emphasizing the infinitely variable components of life and destiny – can't help but take from the original Khan legacy just a little.
Throughout it all, Abrams doesn't quite deliver the gravity of the Star Treks of yesteryear, but the boosted excitement mostly makes up for that. These new Star Treks are not prequels or sequels. They are all-out remakes. As such, they can be expected to let us down and lift us up in a spattering of ways. The conclusion of the matter is this: Star Trek Into Darkness is a superbly paced, inventive, funny, and hyper-exciting ride of thrills that is sure to entertain. If our expectations must be re-adjusted to fully appreciate it, then so be it.

Hong Kong - Asian markets rose Monday as investors were cheered by a blockbuster US jobs report last week, while trade was thin owing to the three-day Lunar New Year break.
With most of the region closed this week for an extended holiday there are few catalysts to drive business, though dealers took heart from Friday's strong US non-farm payrolls numbers.
The world's biggest economy added 304,000 new posts in January, almost double what was expected and the strongest reading for almost a year, while growth in pay held steady above inflation.
"If we see some sort of inflection in economic growth stabilising, then people can have more confidence in earnings," he told Bloomberg TV.
The plunge in prices last year "leaves the valuations of many stocks around the world looking pretty interesting to us, particularly outside the US".
On currency markets the dollar held its gains against the yen and the pound though observers pointed out that the rally in the greenback from the jobs data was limited as dealers focus on the Fed's slower pace of rate hikes.

Calyx & TeeBee Open a Portal Into the Past, Present, and Future of Drum & Bass With "Cause and Effect" Rework
Dec 19, 2017	Chris Muniz
With the heavyweight RAM25 compilation and remix album dropping on the masses today, what better tune to celebrate the epic quarter century of RAM Records than with Calyx & TeeBee's jaw-dropping re-rub of Concept 2's "Cause and Effect," an absolute RAM anthem back in the day. Here, Calyx & TeeBee do what they do best and give this one an epic 2017 makeover that keeps the original titanium frame intact before beefing up the musculature and transforming it into a shape-shifting beast.
As Calyx & TeeBee tell us, "We've wanted to remix Concept 2's 'Cause and Effect' for many years before the RAM25 remix compilation came about. It's an all-time favorite that captures so much of what we love about the sound of RAM's seminal years. Getting the stems from Andy was a euphoric moment, and we've loved every minute spent making this remix!"
That love and care is obvious, as the attention to detail—from the cinematic sweep of the intro all the way through to the shivering atmospheres that converge into an untouchable call and response between the layers—make this one a future classic in its own right. Whether you're just here for the flashbacks or hoping to get your new-school groove on, let this one serve as your gateway to the past, present, and future of drum & bass and RAM Records.
Available December 15 via RAM Records.

Every year Michael Wiegand opens his yard to the public to observe and participate in Hummingbird Banding. The banding itself is done by Fred Bassett. The turn out of visitors this year was great and the hummingbirds were as amazing as always. Fred does great work involving the kids and answering the questions from curious adults.
Claire about to release a newly banded hummer.
My kids always enjoy releasing the fishing line to catch the hummers in the specially designed cages. They really love to hold the tiny hummer in their hand after banding and feel the rapid heartbeat on their palm.

Fred can often tell the species, age, and even gender by differences in tail feathers.
And a little sip of sugar water and off to Central America!
As if hummingbirds were not enough to fascinate the kids, this Pacific Tree Frog, along with large moths, rodents, and other birds sure kept the kids excited.
This fun event was also a great time to rub shoulders with good people. I got to meet a few area birders and photographers that I have followed online, but had never before met. I met fellow birders Fred & Melly Zeillemaker, Bob & Robin Young hosts of several blogs including Flight of the Peregrine Falcon and Idaho Through the Eyes of a Photographer, and Debbie Smith host of Boise Daily Photo. Its always good to see folks again like Fred Bassett, Michael Wiegand of Habiscapes, and Monty Thomson of Bird House & Habitat. I'm already excited for Hummingbird Banding 2011!
*The tiniest hummingbird of North America is the Calliope Hummingbird.
What a cool experiene! I can not even imagine being able to hold a hummer still. Great photos!
Great photos, Robert, and yes, it was good to meet you and your family. I hope w are on "the List" to do this again next year. Cheers!

Mystery Wonders
Located in northern Arizona, the Grand Canyon is known throughout the world for its size and colorful landscape. Measuring over 270 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and a mile deep, the canyon's walls contain rock layers that reveal a timeline of Earth's history. It has been a locale for human use and occupation for millennia, with ruins and artifacts from inhabitants dating back nearly 12,000 years, In the early 1800s, trappers and expeditions sent by the U.S. government began to explore and map the canyon. It was first afforded Federal protection in 1893 as a Forest Reserve and later a National Monument, achieving National Park status in 1919. Over 270 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and a mile deep, the Grand Canyon is known throughout the world for its overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape. Located in northern Arizona, the majestic vista is geologically important because the layers of ancient rocks so beautifully preserved and exposed in the walls of the canyon reveal a timeline of Earth's history. In the early 1800s, trappers and expeditions sent by the U.S. government began to explore and map the Southwest, including the canyon. Although first afforded Federal protection in 1893 as a Forest Reserve and later as a National Monument, the Grand Canyon did not achieve National Park status until 1919, three years after the creation of the National Park Service. Today Grand Canyon National Park encompasses more than 1 million acres of land and receives close to 5 million visitors each year.
Story continues below !
The Grand Canyon is one of the most identifiable and remarkable landscapes on earth and the most internationally recognized symbol of nature in North America. But this oversized natural wonder is much more than a sight to behold. It is a cultural landscape that has been lived in, traveled through, feared, marveled at, exploited for profit, utilized for education, and praised as inspiration by a diverse array of people over a very long time. This unique place has influenced American science, art, environmental values, popular culture, tourism, and leisure. It provided life and salt for Native Americans, thwarted early Spanish explorers, confounded prospectors and evoked poetry from the pens of scientists. From the early travelers to today's five million annual visitors, everyone reacts differently - but everyone reacts. As these reactions have been captured in oral histories, books, photographs, paintings, poetry, news articles, and movies, the relationship between people and place in this iconic American landscape has grown to shape our nation's history and values. One of Earth's few natural landmarks visible from space, the massive rift carved by the Colorado River begins just south of Utah at Lee's Ferry and curves with the river through 277 miles of Arizona toward the California border, brushing Nevada along the way. At places, it is 15 miles wide (it averages 10), and its depth reaches a mile, cutting through rock formed two billion years ago. We call it, quite simply, the Grand Canyon, but there is nothing simple about this enormous landscape. For many people, the phrase "Grand Canyon" immediately conjures a national park. Formally dedicated in 1919, Grand Canyon National Park covers 1,904 square miles (just 50 square miles fewer than Delaware) and encompasses many of the most beautiful vistas of the region, but it does not surround the entire geologic feature known as the Grand Canyon, which actually begins east of the park and continues on for many miles beyond it to the west. In other words, the Grand Canyon contains the park, but the park does not contain the Grand Canyon.
One look into the chasm that is the Grand Canyon and you'll understand why it is one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World. If you're planning a Grand Canyon vacation, learn a little about its history so that you can soak in the vision before you go with an understanding and appreciation of the powers and people who shaped this amazing land.
The Grand Canyon has been home to Native Americans for thousands of years. About 10,000 years ago, paleo-hunters were known to have hunted big game throughout the area. More recently, hunter-gathers lived in the area until about 1000 BC. Archaeological findings, such as pottery found in the canyon, have been carbon dated to 4000 years ago. Ancestral Puebloan people moved in around 500 AD. They cultivated corn, hunted bighorn sheep, rabbits, and deer, and made intricate baskets. Their basket making skills lead archaeologists to call these people "basket makers." The park contains nearly 2,000 ancestral Puebloan sites including the impressive Tusayan Pueblo which was built in 1185 AD. By the late 1200s, the early Grand Canyon Native Americans abandoned their homes. Some speculate that an extended drought prompted this mass exodus. In the 1300s, the Cerbat (ancestors of today's Havasupai and Hualapai Tribes) people moved in along with the Southern Paiutes. A century later would see the Navajo and the Dine (relatives of the Apache) people settling in and around the canyon. Today, the Navajo's reservation is located along the eastern section of the Grand Canyon.
In the mid 1800s, an army survey party explored the region led by Lieutenant Joseph Ives. Ives came to the conclusion that the area was "altogether valueless" and a "profitless locality." John Wesley Powell became one of the first to raft the Grand Canyon in 1869. He and his party of nine traveled 1,000 miles through the Grand Canyon on wooden boats. Three men were lost during this dangerous expedition through rapids and overwhelming heat. A second journey in 1871 provided a wealth of information about this unexplored part of the U.S. Powell is also known for founding the U.S. Geological Society. Lake Powell is named after John Wesley Powell. "The Mountain Lying Down" was a term once used by the Paiutes to describe the area. John Wesley Powell later began using and publishing the term "Grand Canyon" in the 1870s and the name has stuck. The 1870s and 1880s yielded the discovery of lead, zinc, asbestos, and copper which prompted many to stake mining claims. However, actually mining the canyon proved difficult and treacherous. Instead of getting dollars through mining, many miners turned to a more profitable venture: tourism. Buildings, railroads, lodging, and new trails along with fabulous photos and paintings depicting the canyon and eventual National Park status in 1919, beckoned tourists from all over the world with promises of a sight unlike any other in the world. They were right.
Today there are three major rims of the Grand Canyon that attract tourists and vacationers. The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the most popular and most accessible enjoying over 5 million visitors each year. About 90% of the tourists that visit the Grand Canyon, go to the South Rim which is only 60 miles from Williams, Arizona, home to the Grand Canyon Railway. It is also only about 80 miles northwest of Flagstaff, Arizona, the hub of Northern Arizona. And the red rock country of Sedona is just about 20 miles south of Flagstaff on SR 89A. The Grand Canyon North Rim is very remote with few services. It is more ideal for the adventurous visitor. Although the North Rim of the Canyon can be seen from the South Rim and is only 10-15 miles away as an eagle flies, it is about a 5 hour drive to get to the other side. Although more remote, many visitors believe the views are more incredible versus the South Rim. The North Rim is most accessible from southern Utah. Unlike the South and North Rim, the West Rim of the Grand Canyon is not administered by the National Park Service. The West Rim is owned and operated by The Hualapai Indian Tribe. The Tribe is enlarging its amenities and services to attract a greater number of tourists. It is the home of the "SkyWalk" where tourists can walk out over the canyon with a see-through surface beneath them. It is an amazing experience. The West Rim is closer to Las Vegas than the other two rims and as such enjoys a great number of tours from the Las Vegas area. Today, a Grand Canyon vacation involves more than peeking over the Canyon's rim. Tours, river rafting expeditions, hiking, mule rides, and camping are just a sampling of the delights that various rims of the canyon offers.

Why the Claim That "Britain Is Reeling" Is Just Wrong, According to an Actual Brit
John Oliver's Response to the London Attack Media Coverage
June 6, 2017 by Kelsey Garcia First Published: June 5, 2017
In the aftermath of the terror attack that took place in London on June 3, various outlets fumbled in the way they referred to the UK's reaction to the violence. After The New York Times ran a headline that framed the nation as "still reeling," many outlets and anchors began to use the same phrase — which many Brits took issue with. On Twitter, a defiant hashtag emerged: #ThingsThatLeaveBritainReeling. On the latest episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver also weighed in on the American media's clumsy coverage.
At the top of the segment, Oliver took a few minutes to address the terror attack and say a few words to those affected. "As a British person living in America, I feel compelled to address a certain theme that emerged through American coverage of this tragedy," he said. The show then played a few clips that exemplified the doomsday mentality many major outlets perpetuated.
Oliver wasn't having it. "In no way is Britain under siege," he insisted. "Is it upset? Yes. Is it pissed off? Oh, you f*cking bet it's pissed off. But to say it's under siege and that its people are reeling is to imply that it's somehow weak enough to be brought to its knees by three monumental assh*les. That, as an idea, is insulting."

Carnosine is a supplement that is significantly helping some people. A product called Carn-Aware contains carnosine in its formulation and has shown improvement in clinical studies. please research this in light of other measures you are doing to make sure it is right for your situation.
Michael G. Chez, M.D., Cathleen p. Buchanan, ph.D., Jamie L. Komen, M.A.
Objective: L-Carnosine is an amino acid dipeptide that may indirectly affect the electrochemical process in the brain. MRI spectroscopy has recently demonstrated that brain homocarnosine levels may correlate with seizure control. Due to these findings, we decided to examine whether ingesting dietary carnosine would decrease spike and wave activity and improve seizure control both clinically (overt seizures) and physiologically (EEG) by raising homocarnosine levels in the brain.
Design/Methods : Seven children (3 female, 4 male; age range 2-12 years) meeting inclusion criteria were enrolled in a 10 week study, beginning with a baseline EEG reading. participants were then administered 400mg BID of powdered L-Carnosine for the 10 week time period and a final EEG was subsequently read by Dr. Chez.
Results : After 10 weeks of Carnosine therapy, 5 of the 7 participants documented improved EEG findings and all 7 children exhibited improvement in seizure frequency. While not formally evaluated, improvement in the domains of global cognition, behavior and language function was reported in all 7 participants. While these domains were not predicted to be affected by the L-Carnosine supplementation, they were elicited spontaneously via blinded therapists and family members.
Conslusions: L-Carnosine may be a useful add-on medication for intractable seizure disorders. Although, the exact mechanism is unknown, L-Carnosine is believed to bind with GABA to form homocarnosine in the brain and may also modulate copper and zinc influx into the neurons decreasing the after-discharges and spike-wave discharges associated with many seizure disorders. This may decrease the frequency of clinical seizures and, in some cases, improve EEG patterns.

Jamie L. Komen, M.A., Marina Becker, R.N.
Design/Methods: Thirty-one children (21 M, mean age= 7.45; range = 3.2-12.5 yrs )meeting inclusion criteria were enrolled in an 8 week blinded trial of either 400 mg BID powdered L-Carnosine or placebo. Children were assessed at a pediatric neurology clinic with the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale (GARS), the Expressive and Receptive One-Word picture Vocabulary tests (E/ROWpVT), and biweekly parental Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI), at baseline and 8 week endpoint.
Results: Children who were on placebo (n=17) did not show statistically significant changes on any of the outcome measures. After 8 weeks on L-Carnosine, children (n=14) showed statistically significant improvements on the GARS total score, GARS Behavior, Socialization, and Communication subscales, and the ROWpVT (all ps<.05). EOWpVT and CARS showed trends in improvements, which were supported by parental CGI.
The Carnosine medium also increased life span, even for old cells. The number of pDs, or population doublings, provides a convenient measure of cell division. When late-passage lung fibroblasts at 55 pDs (population doublings) were transferred to the carnosine medium, they lived to 69 to 70 pDs, compared to 57 to 61 pDs for the fibroblasts that were not transferred. Moreover, the fibroblasts transferred to the carnosine medium attained a life span of 413 days, compared to 126 to 139 days for the control fibroblasts. Carnosine increased chronological life span more dramatically than pDs in the Australian series of experiments.
Two Japanese studies demonstrate carnosine's ability to stabilize and protect cultured fibroblasts. The first study shows that carnosine stimulates a factor called vimentin that promotes robustness in cultured fibroblasts (Ikeda D et al., 1999). Vimentin is a structural protein that imparts strength and stability to fibroblasts and endothelial cells.
The second Japanese study showed that carnosine preserves the integrity of rat fibroblasts in a nutritionally deficient culture medium (Kantha SS et al., 1996). Fibroblasts grown in this culture medium lost their characteristic form after one week, while those grown in the carnosine supplemented culture retained their healthy appearance. After four weeks those fibroblasts grown in the carnosine medium retained cellular integrity, while the others were no longer viable.
The study also examined levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH dG), a marker of oxidative damage to DNA, in fibroblast cultures with and without carnosine. They found that carnosine significantly reduced 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels in fibroblasts after four weeks of continuous culture. DNA oxidation is thought to contribute importantly not only to cellular senescence, but also to carcinogenesis, and indeed 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine has been proposed as a marker for cancer risk (Kasai H, 1997).
Carnosine's revitalizing effects on cultured fibroblasts may explain why it improves post-surgical wound healing. Another Japanese study showed that carnosine enhances granulation, a healing process in which proliferating fibroblasts and blood vessels temporarily fill a tissue defect (Nagai K et al., 1986). A Brazilian study showed that granulation tissue developed and matured faster, with a higher level of collagen biosynthesis, in carnosine treated rats (Vizioli MR et al., 1983). The Japanese study also presented evidence that carnosine restores the body's regenerative potential suppressed by common drugs.


The firm has held a series of Making Tax Digital clinics across the South West in recent months, attracting nearly 150 attendees – but the real issue is with people who are still unaware of the changes.
So what changes are in the pipeline? According to Mrs Woodford, taxpayers will have to keep records of all of their sales and purchases in a digital format, in MTD-compliant software, and submit returns through that software from 1 April 2019. For farmers, this means keeping the name, date and tax rate of all purchases and sales – from feed and fertiliser to livestock and milk – in one software package.
"Currently, farmers tend to have one bit of software do to their invoicing, a spreadsheet for their accounts, and a paper file for their receipts," says Mrs Woodford. "Bringing all of that into a digital format will involve quite a change of approach – but if they don't do it they won't be able to submit their VAT return, incurring penalties from HMRC and meaning they won't be able to claim their VAT refund.
Although accounting software like Xero, Quickbooks, Sage and Farmplan all comply with MTD, it has to be the latest version – so many people will have to upgrade their software, warns Mrs Woodford.
Taxpayers won't have to keep their records updated daily – they can upload it all in one go before submitting their VAT return. But with Making Tax Digital likely to be rolled out to self-assessment tax returns soon, alongside the move to Real Time Information, it's worth getting ahead of the game, she adds.

I use my camera as a means of visual expression to explore my feelings about places, people, and experiences. Inspired by texture, geometry, and light, I strive to make images that portray the ordinary in a way that serves up something new to the viewer.
In the end, representing reality isn't important to me. I'm not a photojournalist. I consider the raw image a starting point; a digital canvas to be manipulated into something that reveals how I feel about the image, rather than what I literally saw.

I've always lived in the quintessential Canadian city; London, Ontario: A place too small to reliably be on everyone's map, yet too large – and lacking any outward character or charm – to be an inviting location. I'm yet to hear of someone who treats this city as anything but a stopover on their vacation. In contrast to those sophisticated international cities we have reverence for, London, Ontario lack an overt incentive to come visit. Yet, as someone who has spent their entire life here, I've come to find that aesthetic pleasure isn't nonexistent in London – it's just a bit harder to find.

"For me, My Backyard infers all that is close at hand: the objects and people of my everyday.
Dark corners of the dining room hide the wrinkles in the baseboards that frame the window that allows the trickling sound of the pond in my backyard into the house. The unexpected and out of place encounters of objects I observe in my path cause me to consider my own position in space. The light of the day illuminates banal compositions of colourful parking standards against the beige of ubiquitous neighbourhood buildings. These are the elements of an experience; one that weaves together an understanding of myself as well as those around me and defines an infinitely nuanced grammar of interaction."
Though the photograph functions as a means to record these interactions they cannot offer any analysis. This disfunction is an opportunity to highlight how the record of an experience is contextualized by records previously encountered and results in an interpretation that is unique and special. By creating intentionally disorienting visual interactions of photographic images I hope to explore this disfunction, to weave together randomly encountered objects and scenes of someone that is looking to decipher his place in relation to all that is close at hand.
A bold new exhibition at Westland Gallery features art by Londoners John Huggins and Michael Everett.
Michael Everett is primarily a photographer, following his creative muse through mediums ranging from painting, drawing and photography, to sculpture and found objects focusing on texture, industrial materials, colour and mirth.
A strong influence from Greg Curnoe is evident in two works entitled "Mid Conversation". In bold colour, the graphic text reads "No wolf can blow my house down" and "Honestly I have no idea why I said that." The phrases are overheard fragments of conversation that Michael has recorded and reproduced in attention-grabbing scale and colour. He demands that we take time to consider these words spoken in unknown context, from an outside perspective.
Deconstructing and reconstructing is an important part of Everett's process and content. In "Tuesday Afternoon (Push Pull)" Everett reassembles a found door, creating a physical analogy of the ups and downs, or push and pull, of life itself. Everett also deconstructs the figure in his paintings, depicting simplified human forms or cutting up and stitching back together his figurative photography.
Michael's work is playfully experimental but also a bit dark and twisted. This exploration of opposites is echoed in John's work which presents another compelling comparison.
John Huggins has always brought together modern illustrative characters with serene landscapes in his work. A childhood in Timmins Ontario and a love of nature inspires the peaceful lake scenes and the urban influence of his later years in Toronto can be seen in the quirky illustrations.
For this exhibition, John examines the calming solace of the Ontario wilderness, in contrast with the age of information overload in which news headlines bombard us constantly.
Just as for Michael, text is an important tool in John's work.
John playfully and provocatively references art history, film and pop culture. His comical cartoon frogs lost in the Renaissance, his callout to Peter Paul Rubens in the title #timesupRubens and his Wizard of Oz characters expressing frustration at today's political and social situation will make you laugh, but also make you think.
Michael and John's passion for their art and creative comraderie have made for an exciting, energetic show with a lot to say.
John Huggins studied at Sheridan College, gaining formal training and accreditation in interpretive illustration. Michael Everett attended Bealart and Western for Fine Arts.
The exhibition runs from February 13th – February 24th with an opening reception Saturday February 17th and an Artist Talk on Wednesday February 21st at 7 pm.


I received an email from a reader with a sad but fascinating tale about the lengths to which some Christians will go to spread their "good news." I am sharing it with his permission because I am very interested in learning whether you have encountered anything like this.
Shortly after the recent death of his father, this reader received a letter in the mail from a complete stranger. The letter contained a newspaper clipping of his father's obituary and several verses from a Christian bible. Evidently, the sender thought that the bible verses would be comforting.
I have never heard of someone doing something like this and neither had the reader. This stranger had to have seen the obituary, collected bible verses, written a letter, and looked up the address of the reader. I have to agree with the reader for feeling a bit creeped out by this whole thing. That is exactly how I would feel in his place.
Have you ever heard of Christians doing this sort of thing - sending bible verses to complete strangers who have just lost a loved one? I know some go to absurd lengths (video) to spread their mind virus, but contacting grieving strangers seems over the line to me.


Well the last meeting on 11th April saw an enactment of the First Degree Ceremony which was very well recieved and saw some outstanding work from the junior brethren.

Q: Webdriver not returning some data I am trying to get some information from a website. The Web Inspector shows the html source, with what JavaScript rendered into it. So I wanted to use chromedriver to render it for the purpose of extracting certain information, which cannot be accessed by simply requesting the website.
Now what seems confusing, is that even the driver is not returning anything.
My code looks like this:
driver = webdriver.Chrome('path/Chromedriver')
driver.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, 'html.parser')
results = soup.find_all("tr", class_="odd")

And the website is:
https://www.amundietf.co.uk/professional/product/view/LU1681038243
Is there anything else that gets rendered into the html, when the Web Inspector is opened, which Chromedriver is not able to handle?
Thanks for your answers in advance!

A: At least you need to accept privacy settings, than click validateDisclaimer to site:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = "https://www.amundietf.co.uk/professional/product/view/LU1681038243"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/snap/bin/chromium.chromedriver')
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.get(url)
driver.find_element_by_id("footer_tc_privacy_button_3").click()
driver.find_element_by_id("validateDisclaimer").click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".fpFrame.fpBannerMore #blockleft>#part_principale_1")))
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, 'html.parser')
results = soup.find_all("tr", class_="odd")
print(results)

After it you need to wait for your page to load and to define elements you are looking for correctly.
Your question really contains many questions, that should be solved one by one.
I just pointed out the first of the problems.
Update
I solved the issue.
You will need to parse result by yourself.
So, you had problems:

*

*Did not click two buttons.

*Did not wait for a table you need to load.

*Did not have any waits. In Selenium you must use them.

It's possible that you have heard of the grim reaper. This is known as the supernatural entity that will come to your side upon death. This being typically is dressed in a black robe and when it appears, this is a sign that you're near the end of life. Reapers are usually seen in horror movies. A reaper tattoo is symbolic of death. Some people may choose it as a sign that death is not feared while others simply view it as the end of life. It's common for this type of tattoo to be done in black and gray, but reapers are done in color as well.

Q: $f: \mathbb{Q} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \ \ \lim _{q \rightarrow t, \ q\in \mathbb{Q}} f(q) =g$ There's a continuous function $f: \mathbb{Q} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$
Prove that  $ \exists t \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \mathbb{Q} \ \ \exists g \in \mathbb{R} :\ \ \lim _{q \rightarrow t, \ q\in \mathbb{Q}}f(q)=g$.
Prove that there are $2^{\aleph _0}$ such numbers $t$.
I know that if a function is continuous on rational points, then it's continuous on whole $ \mathbb{R}$, but that isn't relevant to the problem, is it?
I would appreciate all your help.
Thanks.

A: Here is my attempt; I hope that there is a simpler solution. (But if you have already seen the facts I mention below, it is not that complicated.)
Let us define
$$\omega(f,x)=\limsup\limits_{\substack{t\to x\\t\in\mathbb Q}} f(t)-\liminf\limits_{\substack{t\to x\\t\in\mathbb Q}} f(t).$$
(This make sense for $x\in\mathbb R$ too; even though the function $f$ is only defined for rationals.)
The continuity on $\mathbb Q$ implies that $\omega(f,x)=0$ if $x\in\mathbb Q$.

The set  $\{x\in\mathbb R; \omega(f,x)<\varepsilon\}$ is open in $\mathbb R$ for each $\varepsilon>0$.

If we define, for example, $$g(x)=\liminf\limits_{\substack{t\to x\\t\in\mathbb Q}} f(t),$$
then
$$\omega(f,x)=\limsup\limits_{t\to x} g(t)-\liminf\limits_{t\to x} g(t)=\omega(g,x).$$
The fact that the function $\omega(g,x)$ is upper semicontinuous and the above set is open is often used in the proof that the set of continuity points of any function is $G_\delta$.
See, for example:

*

*Kaczor, Nowak: Problems in Mathematical Analysis II; Problem 1.4.20

*Set of points of continuity are $G_{\delta}$

Hence $M=\{x\in\mathbb R; \omega(f,x)=0\}$ is a $G_\delta$ set containing rationals. If we show that $|M|=2^{\aleph_0}$, then we have $2^{\aleph_0}$ points in $M\setminus\mathbb Q$ with the required properties.

So it suffices to show that:

Every dense $G_\delta$ subset of reals is uncountable.

By a result of Mazurkiewicz (mentioned, e.g., in this answer) such subset can be endowed with a metric which makes it into complete metric space.
If we have complete metric space with no isolated points then it is uncountable by Cantor-Bendixson theorem.
Some arguments showing that such sets must be uncountable have been given also here:

*

*How to show that $\mathbb{Q}$ is not $G_\delta$

*Does a dense $G_\delta$ subset of a complete metric space without isolated points contain a perfect set?

A: Let $\Bbb P=\Bbb R\setminus\Bbb Q$, and for $x\in\Bbb R$ let $B(x,\epsilon)=(x-\epsilon,x+\epsilon)$. Suppose that the first result is false. Then for each $x\in\Bbb P$ there is an $n(x)\in\Bbb N$ such that for each $\epsilon>0$ there are $p,q\in B(x,\epsilon)\cap\Bbb Q$ with $|f(p)-f(q)|\ge 2^{-n}$. For $k\in\Bbb N$ let $A_k=\{x\in\Bbb R\setminus\Bbb Q:n(x)=k\}$; by the Baire category theorem there are an $m\in\Bbb N$ and an open interval $(a,b)$ in $\Bbb R$ such that $A_m$ is dense in $(a,b)\cap\Bbb P$ and hence in $(a,b)$. Fix $p\in(a,b)\cap\Bbb Q$. Since $f$ is continuous, there is an $\epsilon>0$ such that $|f(q)-f(r)|<2^{-m}$ for all $q,r\in B(p,\epsilon)\cap\Bbb Q$, and it follows that $A_m\cap(a,b)\cap B(p,\epsilon)=\varnothing$, which is a contradiction.
In fact this shows that the sets $A_k$ are nowhere dense in $\Bbb P$. They are also closed in $\Bbb P$. To see this, suppose that $x\in\operatorname{cl}_{\Bbb P}A_k$, and let $\epsilon>0$ be arbitrary; then there is a $y\in A_k\cap B(x,\epsilon/2)$, so there are $p,q\in B(y,\epsilon/2)\cap\Bbb Q\subseteq B(x,\epsilon)\cap\Bbb Q$ with $|f(p)-f(q)|\ge 2^{-k}$, and the claim follows. For $k\in\Bbb N$ let $U_k=\Bbb P\setminus A_k$; $U_k$ is a dense open subset of $\Bbb P$, so $G=\bigcap_{k\in\Bbb N}U_k$ is a dense $G_\delta$-set in $\Bbb P$, and clearly $f$ has a continuous extension to each $x\in G$. Thus, to finish the problem we need only show that $|G|=2^\omega$; this is done in this answer to an earlier question, also noted by Martin Sleziak in his answer.

A: HINT:

Question 2, because $R$ has $2^{\aleph_0}$ numbers, and $Q$ has countable numbers, so $R\setminus Q$ still has $2^{\aleph_0}$ numbers...

ADDED: Suppose that $|R\setminus Q|=\kappa<2^{\aleph_0}$, then $|R|=|R\setminus Q \cup Q|=\kappa+\aleph_0=\kappa<2^{\aleph_0}$, which leads a contradiction.

Fay Wray (1907-2004)
"It was Beauty Who Killed the Beast!" An immortal line from one of cinemas' great early romantic dramas, King Kong (1933). The beauty in reference? One of Hollywood's loveliest leading ladies from its Golden Age - Fay Wray, who died on August 8 in her Manhattan home of natural causes. She was 96.
She was born Vina Fay Wray, in Cardston, Alberta, Canada on September 15, 1907. Her family relocated to Arizona when she was still a toddler so her father could find employment. When her parents divorced, her mother sent her to Hollywood when Fay's eldest sister died in the influenza epidemic of 1918. The reasoning was that Southern California offered a healthier climate for the young, frail Wray.
She attended Hollywood High School, where she took some classes in drama. After she graduated, she applied to the Hal Roach studio and was given a six-month contract where she appeared in two-reel Westerns (25 minutes in length), and played opposite Stan Laurel in his pre-Oliver Hardy days.
She landed her first big role, as Mitzi Schrammell, in Erich von Stroheim's beautifully mounted silent The Wedding March (1928). It made Wray a star. She then starred in some excellent films: The Four Feathers (1929), the early Gary Cooper Western The Texan (1930), and one of Ronald Coleman's first starring roles The Unholy Garden (1931), all of which were big hits of the day.
For whatever reason, Wray soon found herself in a string of thrillers that made her one of the great screamers in Hollywood history. The titles say it all: Doctor X, The Most Dangerous Game (both 1932), Mystery of the Wax Museum, The Vampire Bat (both 1933) and, of course her most famous role, that of Ann Darrow, who tempts cinema's most famous ape in the unforgettable King Kong (also 1933).
Wray did prove herself quite capable in genre outside of the horror game, the best of which were Shanghai Madness with Spencer Tracy; The Bowery (both 1933), a tough pre-Hays Code drama opposite George Raft; and the brutal Viva Villa (1934), with Wallace Beery about the famed Mexican bandit. Yet curiously, the quality of her scripts began to tank, and she eventually found herself acting in such mediocre fare as Come Out of the Pantry (1935), and They Met in a Taxi (1936).
With her roles becoming increasingly routine, the last of which was the forgettable comedy Not a Ladies Man (1942), she decided to trade acting for domesticity and married Robert Riskin, who won two Best Screenplay Oscars® for the Frank Capra comedies It Happened One Night (1934) and Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936). When Riskin died in 1955, Wray found herself working to keep busy and support her three children. She landed supporting parts for films like The Cobweb (1955), Hell on Frisco Bay (1956) and Tammy and the Bachelor (1957). She also found work in television on such popular programs as Perry Mason and Wagon Train before she retired from acting all together in the mid-'60s.
To her credit, Wray did remain reasonably active after her retirement. She published her autobiography, On The Other Hand in 1989 and was attending many film festivals that honored her contribution to film, most notably in January 2003, when, at 95 years of age, she accepted in person her "Legend in Film" Award at the Palm Beach International Film Festival. Wray is survived by a son, Robert Riskin Jr.; two daughters, Susan and Victoria; and two grandchildren.

"It was Beauty Who Killed the Beast!" An immortal line from one of cinemas' great early romantic dramas, King Kong (1933). The beauty in reference? One of Hollywood's loveliest leading ladies from its Golden Age - Fay Wray, who died on August 8 in her Manhattan home of natural causes. She was 96. She was born Vina Fay Wray, in Cardston, Alberta, Canada on September 15, 1907. Her family relocated to Arizona when she was still a toddler so her father could find employment. When her parents divorced, her mother sent her to Hollywood when Fay's eldest sister died in the influenza epidemic of 1918. The reasoning was that Southern California offered a healthier climate for the young, frail Wray. She attended Hollywood High School, where she took some classes in drama. After she graduated, she applied to the Hal Roach studio and was given a six-month contract where she appeared in two-reel Westerns (25 minutes in length), and played opposite Stan Laurel in his pre-Oliver Hardy days. She landed her first big role, as Mitzi Schrammell, in Erich von Stroheim's beautifully mounted silent The Wedding March (1928). It made Wray a star. She then starred in some excellent films: The Four Feathers (1929), the early Gary Cooper Western The Texan (1930), and one of Ronald Coleman's first starring roles The Unholy Garden (1931), all of which were big hits of the day. For whatever reason, Wray soon found herself in a string of thrillers that made her one of the great screamers in Hollywood history. The titles say it all: Doctor X, The Most Dangerous Game (both 1932), Mystery of the Wax Museum, The Vampire Bat (both 1933) and, of course her most famous role, that of Ann Darrow, who tempts cinema's most famous ape in the unforgettable King Kong (also 1933). Wray did prove herself quite capable in genre outside of the horror game, the best of which were Shanghai Madness with Spencer Tracy; The Bowery (both 1933), a tough pre-Hays Code drama opposite George Raft; and the brutal Viva Villa (1934), with Wallace Beery about the famed Mexican bandit. Yet curiously, the quality of her scripts began to tank, and she eventually found herself acting in such mediocre fare as Come Out of the Pantry (1935), and They Met in a Taxi (1936). With her roles becoming increasingly routine, the last of which was the forgettable comedy Not a Ladies Man (1942), she decided to trade acting for domesticity and married Robert Riskin, who won two Best Screenplay Oscars® for the Frank Capra comedies It Happened One Night (1934) and Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936).

This film was a Spanish-language version of the 1930 film Paramount on Parade (see below). Contemporary sources indicate that the content and running order of the Spanish version was considerably different in the various countries in which it was exhibited. However, the summary above, which was derived from an advertisement that appeared during the film's run in Mexico City, appears to reflect the most complete version.
Paramount made many foreign language versions of Paramount on Parade, but only the Spanish version appears to have been released in the U.S. The foreign versions all used most of the major musical sequences from the English original, but were introduced by onscreen hosts and hostesses speaking the language of the country in which the version was destined to be released. The hosts also performed in sequences that were substituted for most of the English sketches. At Paramount's Hollywood studio, Swedish singer Ernst Rolf and his Norwegian wife, Tutta Berntzen, filmed introductions and sequences for the Scandinavian version and Japanese comedian Suisei Matsui introduced and performed in the version released in his native land.
The majority of the foreign versions were prepared at Paramount's Joinville studio in Paris. Saint-Granier, Marguerite Moreno, Boucot fils and Charles de Rochefort were featured in the French version. De Rochefort directed the additional sequences and also directed Dina Gralla and Eugen Rex in their scenes for the German version. Theo Frenkel, Jr., Mien Duymaer van Twist and Louis Davids appeared in the Dutch version while Mira Ziminska and Mariusz Maszynski hosted the Polish version. Versions were also shot at Joinville for the Czech, Hungarian, Rumanian, Serbian and Italian markets, but the identities of the respective hosts have not been determined. The sequence featuring "La Argentinita" for the Spanish version was shot in New York on April 10, 1930.

AppFormix is a real time monitoring and analytics tool which enables operators and developers to know how resources are being consumed by VMs, Containers and Applications throughout the data center in real time. AppFormix integration with PagerDuty is done through PagerDuty Connect.
From the dashboard, navigate to 'Settings' from the dropdown menu in the upper right hand corner.
Choose 'Alert Settings' from the settings menu, then click the 'Alert with PagerDuty' button.
When prompted, log in to PagerDuty. If your account uses a Single Sign-on Provider, you'll need to use that.
Choose an existing PagerDuty service from the dropdown menu or create a new one, then click 'Finish Integration'.
The menu will automatically be populated with any existing AppFormix-integrated services.
Now when you go to 'Alert Settings', you will see the PagerDuty service you selected. Once you've confirmed that this is the service you want, head over to the Event Stream to set up an alert.
From the Event Stream, click the '+' at the top of the 'Alert Rules' column.
Name your alert and define the thresholds, alert type and other conditions that will trigger this alert.
At the bottom of the list, under 'Notification', select 'PagerDuty' from the dropdown.
Once you've selected PagerDuty, another dropdown will appear with the names and integration keys of all of your linked PagerDuty services. Choose the service to which you'd like to send alerts and then click 'Save'.
To test that your AppFormix alert is communicating with PagerDuty, we'd recommend starting with a predictable metric and a relatively low threshold.
Your alert will be active as soon as you've saved your changes, so a PagerDuty incident should be triggered once the conditions you've established become true. The incident details will contain a snapshot of the parameters you've chosen to monitor.
Will the PagerDuty incident resolve when the specified parameter returns to a normal status?
Yes. AppFormix will test that parameter against the rules you've established and send updates to PagerDuty at the time interval you specified when you created the alert. Once the conditions are no longer true, AppFormix will update PagerDuty to resolve the incident.


I was the very happy recipient of some super cool squeeze bottles. They were made to look like crayons and once held kid's bubble bath.
After removing the labels (you know how to do that, right? No? I'll blog about that later.) Sooooo....I removed the labels and then I made up some squeezable paint. I used a very simple recipe of equal parts flour, salt, water and food colouring. And there was just a little bit of bubble bath in the bottom of the bottle. Here's the link to the recipe I used at FamilyEducatiom.com It was a bit of a tricky task getting my paint into the narrow openings of the bottles. The mixture was too thick to go through a funnel. I put my mixture into a plastic bag and snipped a bit of corner off to get the mixture into the bottle.
My buddies had a hard time squeezing hard enough to get the paint out at first. (I made a mental note to provide more hand strengthening activities.) They really enjoyed squeezing the paint out once they got used to using it. I think we will be doing this again soon!
Squeezing paint is one of Goblin's favourite activities. I use generic ready mix paint and always have to hold myself back from saying "thats enough .... no really thats enough". Maybe I will try your recipe - it sounds like it might slow him down a little.

This image is of the beautiful bride Kristina Nash and is the cover image for my new website www.ldstempleweddings.com. This background effect wasn't created in Photoshop....it was done out of necessity because of the environment that was present on her wedding day. They were married at the Newport Beach Temple and we went down to Laguna Beach afterwards to do their couple shoot.
Well, a THICK layer of fog rolled in, but due to it being mid-day the sun was still fighting to get through. By knowing how to expose for this situation and by using my flash we were able create this image...she was actually standing on top of a rock at the beach for me to get this angle. Later on we had their Reception at the Christmas House Inn and Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga.

New office development proposed for Edinburgh's Canongate
Property developer Summix Capital Ltd has lodged plans for the development of new office accommodation at 179 Canongate, Edinburgh.
19/05837/FUL
Summix (developer), 3DReid (architect), Turley Planning Consultants (planning consultant)
Summix said the proposals seek to introduce a characterful office development, providing much-needed work space within the heart of the capital's Old Town.
The design by 3DReid has been developed as a response to the unique fabric and distinct historical identity of Canongate and the Royal Mile. Office provision ensures this is protected while offering competitive amenities and a modern office building while complementing the heritage of the surrounding area.
There will be four floors designed for small and medium businesses with the provision for co-working. Each floor will have 5,000 sq ft with accessible break out spaces on the top two floors. Co-working spaces provide a more flexible, accessible and affordable option for SME businesses and freelancers.
The building has strong sustainability credentials including dedicated on-site cycling provision and facilities for greener commuting. Additionally, the site has the potential for a publicly accessible café to animate the existing courtyard to Old Tolbooth Wynd, enhancing occupants and visitors experience of the building.
Incorporating the wider UNESCO World Heritage Site and the A-listed structures of the Canongate Kirk and Canongate Tolbooth, the proposals will retain boundary walls, existing workshop structures and remaining historical artefacts on site.
It will also create a new East-West route from Old Tolbooth Wynd to Bowling Green Court and enhances permeability for pedestrians and animates the newly created connecting route through New Waverley, to Waverley Station. Critically, it fosters more positive engagement with surrounding closes and courts to help alleviate anti-social behaviour through improved passive surveillance.
The development's planning consultants were Turley.
A spokesperson for Summix Capital Ltd said: "We're thrilled to submit this application for an office development in Edinburgh's Old Town.
"These proposals will not only serve to redevelop a vital location but help to tackle Edinburgh's burgeoning crisis in available office space provision, especially in Edinburgh city centre. As a co-working space, this development provides an innovative solution to this issue while ensuring its green credentials are in line with Edinburgh City Council standards.
"We've consulted widely and diligently with stakeholders in Edinburgh to ensure they've had an opportunity to input their views about the proposals. The plans represent a collaborate discussion about how best to make this site work."

I've not really changed much from what I would wear ski touring here in Australia; I just added a warmer leg layer and included an extra parka.
None of the parkas has a good tunnel hood (although the L7 has some protection of your face). Insulated goggles and a neoprene facemask is one approach, but I prefer a tunnel hood when it is below -20F.
However much clothing you need at 15F (= 55 degrees below 70F), you need twice as much (all over your body!) at -40F (another 55 degrees colder).
Don't sweat. Remove layers, unzip and open things up before you start to sweat. The water vapor off your body will migrate out through the clothes until it condenses and freezes.
Sorry but maybe I missed the context for this list, are you climbing Denali or walking around the Baffin Islands or crossing Saskatchewan? You listed two large areas with incredibly variable climates. You would get better help if you filled us in on what you are trying to do.
It's a bucket list trip So I'm after a clothing list that will do the lot naturally.
Make sure that the polartec pants will fit over the shell bibs and that the Compressor pants will fit over everything!
Trying to mix/match a bunch of specialty items becomes complicated and heavy in a hurry.
Taking that advice on board Bob then fewer warmer layers seems to make more sense.
I have tried everything on quickly and there is a definite problem with the way the hood on the L7 overparka fits; it sits back on the head and really provides no coverage for the face.
Any advice on fixing this??
I'm a lifelong Alaskan and don't own a single piece of gear with a tunnel hood. My activities include snowmobiling at -20 (which is pretty dang cold when you add the windchill) and I use a balaclava combined with goggles to protect my face. I have yet to frostbite, so it's working. The main key is don't try to tough it out- if your skin starts to burn from the cold, STOP and do something about it right then. It can take a little adjusting to ensure that you have no exposed skin. Test this at home in front of a mirror first, to make sure your goggles/balaclava setup work. I also use a no-fog mask which is goofy looking as heck but keeps my goggles from fogging from my breath. Between those 3 pieces of gear, I have zero exposed skin once I get it adjusted right.
Thanx for that advice, it seems that there are different schools of thought on hoods then.
OK Now after thinking this through and some conversations with members who seem very experienced and well qualified to give advice I will keep my old climbing parka and simply use it as warm layer and treat it as a mid-layer garment. It fits too tightly over the Patagonia Nano-bivvy but it still fits me over the Ninja top.
Inside my older Scarpa T3 boots (and my Sorel felt pacs) I use "US Divers" brand 3 mm neoprene divers' sox over thin polyester or polypro liner socks. I take one pair of liner socks for each day and keep the stinky, damp used ones tightly sealed in a Ziplock freezer bag.
These closed cell neoprene divers sox are warm in themselves and are a VBL to keep my boot liners dry and thus warm. They must be seam sealed but the US Divers brand come factory sealed with Left and Right sox for a good fit. These VBLs are a necessity and should always be used, especially when you cannot get to a heated cabin or tent for the night.
*Remove boot liners and keep them inside your sleeping bag overnight otherwise suffer painfully cold feet in the morning. Wear thick "sleep socks" at night and never use them in the day.
At night wear a fleece balaclava that easily covers your nose. "Cold nose syndrome" makes you unconsciously bury your head inside your sleeping bag and get it wet from your breath. This is a no-no.
Be sure you have a lighter down jacket and pants to supplement hyoru sleeping bag if it gets colder than your bag's rating. Ex. I have a -20 F. LL Bean goose down bag and I carry down jacket and pants for such times. With it I'm sure I can easily go to -30 F. from my experience with my +20 F. down bag going to -5 F. with a puffy suit.
->For a fur ruff GOOGLE fur mitten and hat retailers.Many sell fur ruffs of several types of fur. Wolverine is very expensive but frost does not stick to it. Coyote is fine and much less expensive. a 4″ wide riff that attaches and detaches with Velcro should do the trick and be worth the money.
BTW, I use Voile' release plates on both pair of my backcountry skis. Safety is paramount and I'm speaking as a former Nordic ski patroller who has seen broken legs and ankles.
Eric these are moulded liners, Intuition liners that do not absorb any water at all and it is neither possible nor necessary to use any insulating layer inside them down to around -20C, a much better liner than the cheaper open cell polyurethane of the lighter boots; the two pair of socks I do use are very very thin and are for blister prevention not warmth.
Getting ready for the Southern ski season and I'll be trying out my new clothing systems to see which base layer combinations I am most comfortable with.
I have been continuing my reading and research.
This seems to me to be a little light on for head and hands even allowing for a shunt from the core, certainly much thicker and warmer hats seem to be the norm in very cold countries, so what's going on there? Is this an assumption that this is active insulation? If this is active insulation how cold would it need to be for me to need to wear a full 75mm of warm torso clothing when moderately active?

The FFmpeg project merges all the changes from the Libav project (https://libav.org) since the origin of the fork (around 2011).
With the exceptions of some commits due to technical/political disagreements or issues, the changes are merged on a more or less regular schedule (daily for years thanks to Michael, but more sparse nowadays).
The majority of the active developers believe the project needs to keep this policy for various reasons.
The most important one is that we don't want our users to have to choose between two distributors of libraries of the exact same name in order to have a different set of features and bugfixes. By taking the responsibility of unifying the two codebases, we allow users to benefit from the changes from the two teams.
Today, FFmpeg has a much larger user database (we are distributed by every major distribution), so we consider this mission a priority.
A different approach to the merge could have been to pick the changes we are interested in and drop most of the cosmetics and other less important changes. Unfortunately, this makes the following picks much harder, especially since the Libav project is involved in various deep API changes. As a result, we decide to virtually take everything done there.
Any Libav developer is of course welcome anytime to contribute directly to the FFmpeg tree. Of course, we fully understand and are forced to accept that very few Libav developers are interested in doing so, but we still want to recognize their work. This leads us to create merge commits for every single one from Libav. The original commit appears totally unchanged with full authorship in our history (and the conflict are solved in the merge one). That way, not a single thing from Libav will be lost in the future in case some reunification happens, or that project disappears one way or another.
Of course, there are many downsides to this approach.
It causes a non negligible merge commits pollution. We make sure there are not several level of merges entangled (we do a 1:1 merge/commit), but it's still a non-linear history.
Many duplicated work. For instance, we added libavresample in our tree to keep compatibility with Libav when our libswresample was already covering the exact same purpose. The same thing happened for various elements such as the ProRes support (but differences in features, bugs, licenses, ...). There are many work to do to unify them, and any help is very much welcome.
So much manpower from both FFmpeg and Libav is lost because of this mess. We know it, and we don't know how to fix it. It takes incredible time to do these merges, so we have even less time to work on things we personally care about. The bad vibes also do not help with keeping our developers motivated.
There is a growing technical risk factor with the merges due to the codebase differing more and more.
The following gives developer guidelines on how to proceed when merging Libav commits.
[ "$op" = "noop" ] && merge_opts="-s ours"
printf "Merging $(git log -n 1 --oneline $next_rev)\n"
echo "Usage: $0 <next|show|merge|noop [REF_HASH]>"
echo "    next  - Echo hash of the commit to be merged next"
The script assumes a remote named libav.
It has two modes: merge, and noop. The noop mode creates a merge with no change to the HEAD. You can pass a hash as extra argument to reference a justification (it is common that we already have the change done in FFmpeg).


Cadet Colonel Dakota Smith of Spaulding High School received the Class of 2011 ROTC Award from Mary Torr Chapter, NSDAR, at the ROTC awards ceremony in Rochester on May 22. The bronze medal and campaign bar is awarded for outstanding ability and achievement. The Daughters of the American Revolution has awarded ROTC medals since 1967 because the ROTC is such an important source of trained officers for our armed forces. Cadet Col. Smith will attend UNH. Pictured with the Cadet is Catherine Fisher, Regent of Mary Torr.
