*Updated to reflect Panoply 2019 information, happening April 26 - 28 in Big Spring International Park.
From music to visual and performing arts, nowhere is the breadth and variety of Huntsville's arts community on display more than at Panoply Arts Festival.
For three days at the end of April, downtown Huntsville's Big Spring Park comes to life with the vibrancy and creativity that makes our city tick – including a bourgeoning music scene that refuses to fly under the radar.
Step back in time, venture to space, and celebrate community creativity at this year's Panoply Arts Festival. North Alabama's celebration of art, music and more returns April 26th – 28th to downtown Huntsville's Big Spring Park.
Panoply kicks off at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, April 26th, showcasing nearly 40 local and regional musical acts, including internationally recognized and critically acclaimed bands and musicians, the Art Marketplace, STEAM Street and Bicentennial Village interactives and community art projects, craft beer, festival food, select local food trucks and more.
Probably one of the most underrated aspects of the festival, Panoply's music lineup features nearly 40 local bands and musicians ranging from up-and-coming singer-songwriters to Rolling Stone-touted recording artists. This year's headliners include Nashville's The New Respects, Louisiana's Marc Broussard, and North Alabama's own Grammy-award winning John Paul White. Grab a weekend pass for only $18 (available in advance only) so you don't miss a single set.
MDA's Rocket Rules! Sponsored by RUAG Space USA – Using plastic tubes, festivalgoers will create rockets to investigate trajectory, weight and balance and center of gravity and test their designs. They will also learn how scientists and engineers use filters to identify different energies of light to learn more about materials and physical objects.
Huntsville STEAMworks' Launch Pad, sponsored by Toyota Motor Manufacturing – After making their very own rocket from straws and cardstock, festivalgoers will be able to launch them in the park.
DAU's Cosmic Coms – Festivalgoers will learn how astronauts talk to us from the moon when sound can't travel through space. Explore amplitude, frequency, and phase to discover how they used radio waves to move voices, music, and data through the vacuum of space.
Janet's Planets and HAL5's "What's Your Mission?" sponsored by National Space Club – Every space mission is unique and has its own unique patch designed by the astronauts. Festivalgoers can get creative to design their very own mission patch.
Huntsville Ballet's Dancing Planets, sponsored by Avadian Credit Union– Festivalgoers will learn about rotation and revolution in both the solar system and ballet.
Also along STEAM Street, festivalgoers can view the US Space and Rocket Center's Rockets on Parade – a celebration of NASA's next great spacecraft, the SLS Rocket. With dozens of rockets decorated and displayed by companies from across the Tennessee Valley, festival goers will see a creative interpretation of NASA's upcoming journey into space.
Big Spring Boats – The historic recreation of Ditto Landing's ferry boat will be on-site at Panoply 2019 for festivalgoers to visit and learn about opportunities for ferry rides along the Tennessee River. Festivalgoers will also get to create their own cork boats to try out on the water at home.
Huntsville Symphony Orchestra Guild Discover Music, sponsored by Parkway Place Mall – The Symphony Guild's popular "Discover Music" experience always introduces young people to musical instruments at Panoply. In 2019, Arts Huntsville is working with volunteers to incorporate a historical perspective to include historical instruments and music of the period to "Discover Music" from 1819 to 2019.
Lily Flagg Moo Masks, sponsored by Davidson Technologies – Celebrate Huntsville's beloved bovine, Lily Flagg. Festivalgoers can create and decorate fun festival masks in honor of Lily Flagg.
Historic Downtown Huntsville Mini City, sponsored by Aero Thermo Technology – Using historic images of downtown Huntsville, festivalgoers can recreate our historic downtown from the early 1800s using recycled painted boxes. This activity serves as a living history and urban design lesson created by the community during the festival.
Huntsville Botanical Garden Guild's Plants and Native American Art – Volunteers from Huntsville Botanical Garden Guild are identifying historic plants native to Alabama in the 1800s. Festivalgoers will take home a piece of living history to plant in their home garden, while learning about our region's prehistoric Native American art.
We suggest you buy your tickets in advance. You can do this online by clicking here. Weekend passes are just $18 in advance online (You must purchase these before Friday, April 26, at 4:00 p.m.). If you wait, you can purchase individual day passes $10 at the gate (day passes are also available online in advance for $10). When you buy your ticket in advance, you will get through the line faster!
Remember that kids 12 and under are always FREE!
There are a few things you should bring with you. It may sound a little crazy, but bring sunscreen and a poncho. Yes, you may need both. We admit that the weather is unpredictable at the end of April, so be prepared for anything. If you really don't want to bring raingear, you can always buy a poncho at one of the Panoply Stores. Please note that outside food and drink and pets are not permitted in the festival. Enjoy the local food vendors for your dining pleasure! Strollers or wagons for little ones can be helpful for navigating around the festival as well!
Another very important thing to remember is that Panoply has festival seating. This means you need to bring your own chairs or blankets for the stage areas. There are three stages, so bring something that is easy to carry.
Make sure you grab a Panoply Festival Guide as soon as you get through the gate. This guide has a map of the park, including a list of all performances, artists at Art Marketplace (110 of them!), food vendors and interactives. It is small enough to fold and fit into a pocket, but large enough to read easily.
If you are bringing your children to Panoply, you are going to have a BLAST, and they will too! There are so many great interactive games/exhibts at Panoply that are FREE for everybody. You are going to collect a lot of works of art from your children (and the young at heart).
We recommend that you bring a bag to carry these masterpieces or stop by one of the Panoply Stores and buy a Panoply souvenir bag. Remember that interactive activities aren't just for kids – you can do them too!
Panoply volunteers will put a wristband on each child with your cell phone number on the INSIDE. Don't forget your cell phone and make sure it's charged. Take a picture of your children so you can remember what they are wearing. If you and your child are separated, be sure to turn the phone ON in case a designated Panoply team member is trying to call you.
If you can't find your child, go to the Info Booth near the American flag for assistance, or find any festival volunteer wearing a navy blue shirt and a radio.
If you have questions while you are walking around Panoply you can always ask somebody in a navy blue shirt to help you. Each year we depend on over 100 Panoply volunteer chairpersons to help make Panoply happen. We wear bright colored shirts on purpose, so you can easily identify somebody to answer your questions.
You can always stop by the Information Booth located near the American flag if you have any questions.
The Art Marketplace, presented by Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Alabama, provides prime shopping in a beautiful setting in and around the spring. This year the juried Art Marketplace will welcome more than 100 visual artists. One of the most popular features of the festival, this year's Art Marketplace will welcome artists from 19 states, with some traveling from as far as Oregon and North Dakota to join us in Big Spring Park. Nearly half of this year's artists come from across the state of Alabama.
The Panoply Craft Beer Tent returns to the festival featuring craft beer from all over the Southeast! This year, Straight to Ale has partnered with Panoply to create a special beer for the festival. The Honeysuckle Blue can be purchased during the festival or at a few local restaurants and bars around town. Panoply will also showcase a great assortment of festival food and food trucks.
Our best advice for first timers is to just take your time and walk around and enjoy everything. There is nothing more special than seeing Big Spring International Park transformed into this fantastic arts festival. Don't forget that Friday and Saturday evenings end with a fireworks show!


An research of marriage styles in nineteenth-century Cuba, a society with a wide black inhabitants the vast majority of which was once held in slavery yet which additionally incorporated massive numbers of freedmen. Dr Martinez-Alier makes use of as her major resource of facts the documents in Havana of administrative and judicial court cases of circumstances within which mom and dad antagonistic a wedding, of instances related to elopement, and of situations of interracial marriage. Dr Martinez-Alier develops a version of the relation among sexual values and social inequality. She considers the significance of the price of virginity in assisting the hierarchy of Cuban society, according to ascription instead of success. due to the excessive evaluate of virginity, elopement was once frequently a profitable technique of overcoming parental dissent to an unequal marriage. notwithstanding, in situations of interracial elopement, the seduced colored lady had little likelihood of redress via marriage. during this conflict of the sexes and the races, the unfastened colored men and women performed roles and purchased values which clarify why matrifocality grew to become attribute of black unfastened households.
Polygamy and plural marriage became front-and-center matters in Europe, Canada, and the USA, significantly on non secular fronts: between a few splinter teams of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and in Islam. Polygamy within the Monogamous international: Multicultural demanding situations for Western legislation and coverage takes either teams into consideration because it presents a cautious exam of felony polygamy in non-Western nations and plural unions in North the USA.
An individual who's all for the nature of relations lifestyles some time past would certainly locate a lot of curiosity during this ebook. Written through exclusive French and American historians, relations and Sexuality in French background contributes both to the certainty of the French family members particularly and to the examine of the relations typically.
This is often an unique learn of ladies self-identified as working-class and lesbian, displaying the importance of sophistication and sexuality of their biographies, daily lives and identities. It offers perception, a critique of queer idea and an empirical interrogation of the embodied, spatial and fabric intersection of sophistication and sexuality.
In the Cienfuegos case, however, there are two additional reports, one by the Syndic and the other by the local chief of police, both raising serious objections to the marriage. As the latter argues, 'it may lead to presumptions on the part of the coloured class who on account of their extreme ignorance may derive from the said marriage the idea of equality between the classes; and in my view this mistaken idea will bear dismal consequences for the future and the established good order*. 71 He shares Arango y Parreiio's and Saco's view of the positive effects of racial intermarriage.
Social prestige did not derive from each individual factor independently but was determined by the combination of all. Disadvantages in one scale of evaluation could be offset by advantages in another. e. a wealthy moreno could hardly aspire to ever marrying a white woman, nor would a nobleman ever consider marrying a parda. 31 The most frequent union was that between a white man and a free parda woman. 32 The result of all this was a highly complex gradation of status, and a considerable measure of fluidity in the middle sector, to the dismay of many.
Thus in a report of 1863 it is argued that Even though the progress of the enlightenment has brought about a great change in the ideas one had on matters of this nature, in a country organized socially as is ours, quite some time must pass before public opinion marches in accord with these ideas. In effect, as a result of this same organization the coloured class here has always been at a great distance from the white, and any measure towards getting them closer and mixing them not only has disadvantages of great import, but being opposed to our customs will be looked upon disapprovingly.


Peppermint tea room in the heart of Brussels doesn't serve only peppermint tea. Surprise! Something one wouldn't expect to see on the menu is monkey tea.
But what is monkey tea? The owners of the place could not answer.
Apparently, this goes back to the 18th century legend that tells how monks were training monkeys to pick the best – youngest – tea buds from the very top of wild oolong tea trees on a cliff. It was an exclusive tea enjoyed by Chinese Emperor Qian Long before it became accessible to the general public.
Today it simply refers to a high grade (high quality) oolong tea that is handpicked and processed with care. Others argue that it has always been just a sales trick. Whatever the true story is, this monkey-picked tea is expensive: 50 grams of it costs over $30 on Amazon. But you can just as well drop by Peppermint tea room and get a cup to taste before committing to it.
Is monkey-picked tea really picked by monkeys?

Q: Questions on laying out Resource Groups in Azure We are looking to move/create 3 websites with Azure Web Apps, and would like to determine the best design for Resource Groups to use with this.
These 3 websites (website1, website2, and website3) would all point to the same database.
We would like to have a deployment cycle like this:
Azure Web App (AWA1) – website1-dev (DB: CompanyDb-dev; File Storage: CompanyFiles-dev) (Service Plan F1 (Free))
AWA2 – website1-qa (DB: CompanyDb-dev; File Storage: CompanyFiles-dev) (Service Plan F1 (Free))
AWA3 – website1 & website1-staging (slot) (DB: CompanyDb; File Storage: CompanyFiles) (Service Plan S1, S2, or S3)
So, for website1 we could Publish to –dev, -qa, or –staging, and –dev and –qa would use the –dev database and file storage, while –staging and prod would use the prod database and file storage.
So, my question(s), would it make sense to have the 3 Azure Web Apps, the 2 databases, and the 2 file stores in the same Resource group?
If our other two websites will also make use of CompanyDb, should they (and their related development Azure Web Apps) be in the same resource group? Or their own resource group?

A: According to the Azure Resource Manager overview documentation page.

All of the resources in your group should share the same lifecycle. You will deploy, update and delete them together. If one resource, such as a database server, needs to exist on a different deployment cycle it should be in another resource group.

From that you should consider which pieces can be grouped together as a lifecycle. What group could you safely delete and recreate without affecting the other groups.
From that, it probably safest to have a DB resource group, and each Website in its own group. That way you could probably just have two templates (a db and a website) and deploy those as much as you need.

A: This is more of a personal preference question.  Resource Groups are just for logical grouping of your resources, it doesn't actually affect much implementation wise.
So go with whatever you think is most convenient.
As a side note: instead of creating three different web sites, have you guys considered using Site Slots?

Europe|Warning About Church's Abuse Documents Led Belgian Police to Raid Its Offices
Warning About Church's Abuse Documents Led Belgian Police to Raid Its Offices
By DOREEN CARVAJAL JUNE 28, 2010
MECHELEN, Belgium — Four days after a series of police raids of Catholic institutions in Belgium that drew sharp criticism from the pope, the reason for the unusually aggressive operation has emerged: a formal accusation that the church was hiding information on sexual abuse lodged by the former president of an internal church commission handling such cases.
The declaration to the police set off four raids in which the authorities seized hundreds of case files from the commission's current leader, detained a group of bishops for more than nine hours and disturbed the tomb of a cardinal where construction work had recently been done. Investigators drilled into the tomb and lowered a camera, but found only the remains.
Investigators are now analyzing more than two truckloads of seized documents, many related to 475 complaints lodged with the sex-abuse commission after the resignation in April of a popular bishop who admitted that, early in his career, he had molested a boy.
The former head of the commission, Godelieve Halsberghe, said in an interview with a Flemish newspaper, Het Nieuwsblad, that she had gone to the authorities after receiving a call from a man who did not identify himself and warned her in French to "watch out" for herself and to secure the documents she held on about 30 cases she had handled during her tenure at the commission, from 2000 to 2008.
Ms. Halsberghe, now a retired magistrate, has long been critical of the church's efforts in Belgium to confront its past. Alarmed by the phone call, she took the documents in her keeping to the authorities and warned them that the church might be hiding others. On Monday, she declined to accept calls.
The Belgian prosecutor's office — the object of Vatican fury over the raids — confirmed that there had been a formal accusation but declined to discuss the source. "We are working on a specific case about a specific declaration," said a spokesman, said Jean-Marc Meilleur. "We are not starting an inquisition against the church."
Ms. Halsberghe's case records, she told the newspaper, included documents from victims and records of conversations with Cardinal Godfried Danneels, who retired in January and whose home was among the targets of the Belgian raids last week.
Over the next few weeks, investigators will be comparing records from the church and the commission to evaluate whether some cases had remained secret, they said.
Church officials said they remained mystified by the police action and continued to denounce the disruption of the tomb and question its purpose. Eric de Beukelaer, a spokesman for the leader of the Belgium church, said: "When we were told, we could hardly believe it. Maybe they have a good reason for doing that, but we are here guessing."
Ms. Halsberghe's successor at the church commission, Peter Adriaenssens, resigned Monday along with other members, complaining that the Belgian authorities had let their group collect information as the complaints flooded in after the resignation of Bishop Roger Vangheluwe, and pounced as the flow began to dwindle.
"We were bait," Mr. Adriaenssens told reporters on Monday, before being questioned by investigators.
Prosecutors are considering whether to expand beyond gathering evidence against abusers to encompass those who knew children were in peril but failed to protect them. "You have a part of a case that could be against the ones who committed the crimes and you also could have another part of the case against those who didn't help someone who was in danger," Mr. Meilleur said.
On Tuesday, the Vatican will honor the head of the Belgian church, Archbishop André-Joseph Léonard, who was one of the clerics held and questioned last week at the ornate palace of the archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels. The archbishop will be one of 30 church officials to receive the pallium, a vestment worn by the pope that is conferred as a mark of association with the papacy and its powers.

Wait...if it's a euro cluster, then why is it in miles?
I would double check as euro cluster that I've seen only have kilometers and the fuel gauge is also different it has 0-20-30-40-60 instead of half and full on it.
It would depend on where the car was from originally. Some cars had both miles and kilometers such as Japanese & UK spec cars.

American Pickers – "Keep Out" Episode Recap and Review
For me, this was the best episode of American Pickers yet. Amazing pop-culture items pop up for the full 60 minutes.
Mike and Frank are freestyling through the foggy Tennessee countryside. They stop at a house right alongside the road that is covered in vintage signs and homemade signs — most of which say "Keep Out" and "No Trespassing." Despite the signs, the Pickers take their chances and knock on the door.
Junior opens the door and greets the Pickers in his overalls and big white beard. Junior is happy to let the guys look around his place to see if they can find any treasure.
It doesn't take Mike long to find a large red Fire Chief gas pump for $801, since Junior already has an offer for $800. Mike continues to dig through piles of items and unearths a great Dukes of Hazzard TV tray and tin trash can from 1981. He buys both for $30, and says that "all this pop culture stuff is hot." Agreed. More please!
Mike finds a large Mercury outboard motor sign and buys it for $50. He then references my favorite line from one of my favorite movies, Tombstone, and says "I'm your huckleberry." That earned a fist pump in the air from this reviewer.
The funniest scene in this episode had Frank trying out a vintage motorized Exercycle. Mike flips the switch to high speed, and Frank's feet fly off the pedals. Iit looks like he's riding a rodeo bull, much to Mike's delight.
Frank likes a Pet Ice Cream sign that's hanging on a fence, and buys it for $100. Once he pries it off the fence, he is happy to find that it is two-sided, which makes it more valuable.
While digging through more boxes, Mike finds an amazing Civil War belt buckle that has a bullet piercing it. He buys it for $50, which seems like a huge steal to me. I live in Civil War central here in Virginia, and most relics that I've seen are barely recognizable for what they are. This one looks almost new. The show reveals that the buckle was sold for $200 — not a bad profit.
The Pickers leave Junior's place and are presented with one of Junior's custom painted "Keep Out" signs as memento.
Danielle calls with a new lead. Randy is a lifetime collector who has just decided to start selling some of his stuff. Randy has four barns to pick through, but unfortunately for Mike and Frank, Randy is REALLY reluctant to sell anything.
Mike finds a box full of old Avon Soakie bottles , including one of the Beatles, and Batman and Robin. He offers $15 each — a fair price for most of them, but that Beatles one probably would fetch a few bucks. Mike is frustrated that Randy won't sell him the Soakies or anything else.
On their way to another barn, Mike finds a huge porcelain Ford dealer sign, buried in the weeds. Randy shows him another Ford sign he has stashed in an outbuilding, and Mike finally breaks the ice, and buys both signs for $4,500. The choir breaks out with a bit of Hallelujiah.
Mike and Frank hit the road again and visit Joe, who collects trains — real trains! Joe also has motorcycles, cars, and all sorts of other rusty gold for the guys to sift through.
Mike finds a box of vintage toys that has a Planet of the Apes thermos, and some small plastic cars and figures. I'm not sure, but I think these little Frankenstein and Creature from the Black Lagoon figures are worth a pretty penny. Mike buys the whole box for $15 and I felt really bad for Joe at this point.
Mike finds this Shogun Warriors Godzilla a with a missing hand and tosses it back on the pile. I have one of these and it's one of my favorite vintage toys, and I hated to see this one tossed back.
The pop culture excellence came to ahead with this awesome piece:
I have been looking for this exact Planet of the Apes lunch box for years. It's not so much that it's rare, but I'm cheap. Mike buys this one for $32.50, and I immediately sent him a tweet offering him double for all the toys — cash money. I'm still waiting on a reply.
Frank spots an old 750 Honda chopper but it doesn't have the title and Joe wants $5,500 for it which is way too high. He then finds a pre-WWII Moto-Scoot scooter. Joe wants $1,500 and Frank offers $850. Joe has been negotiating all his life and drives a hard bargain, but they eventually agree to $1,000.
The Pickers visit their friend, Corky to see if he'll buy the Ford signs and save them from having to carry them all the way back to Iowa. Corky buys both for $6,500 — an easy $2,000 profit for Mike and Frank.
I loved, loved, loved this episode. The Pickers have found some pop culture items here and there, but this episode was excellent. It made me want to quit my day job and knock on some doors — "Keep Out" signs be damned! What did you think?
trebomb says
Agreed, great episode. The red Ford sign was beautiful. They didn't mention it specifically, but it looks like Corky is from Coker Tire (logo in the background)- I wonder if they have a public showroom with their restorations?
I would love to see an episode of Pickers where they show some of the items they pick and what they look like after the items have been restored. That Moto-Scoot scooter is a good example. It looks like a rust pile to me, but they say it can be restored. Prove it!
Anon says
The consensus among Civil War relic hunters is that the buckle was fake on two counts. First, the buckle was not an authentic Civil War buckle and second, the buckle was not struck by a bullet but the buckle was drilled and had the bullet inserted.
Thanks for the info Anon! That buckle did look a little too good to be true.
Cody C. Lorance says
Absolutely the buckle was a fake. They are made by a company called "artifakes" in Tennessee. Did the Pickers ever figure this out? I'm pretty sure the same kind of buckle appeared on an episode of Pawn Stars and was determined to be a fake there too.
Candy says
If anyone knows this sweet man Junior from the episode "keep out" please contact me at candy-kisses @comcast .net.. my sister is crazy about him and watches it over and over..she thinks he is the sweetest man ever..give him my e-mail , I will send him pictures..thanks for any help!
I have an exercycle if anyone would like to buy it.
Patrick Robinson says
How much are you asking?
Mark Novak says
I also have one, works perfect – original '50's model, still has "foot traps" on pedals, asking $250 or offer…? Contact Mark @ bluenosemule53@gmail.com or call me @ 505-448-2846

The pawpaw is a delicious fruit indigenous to this country and was eaten by native Americans and early settlers. The fruit has a distinctive creamy custard texture and a sweet mango banana like flavor. It is excellent when eaten fresh, and delicious in puddings, cookies, pies, ice cream and breads. Pawpaw fruit is reported to be higher in proteins and carbohydrates than apples, peaches and grapes, and it contains high levels of amino acids, vitamins A and C, and many minerals.
Pawpaw ( Asimina triloba ) is the only temperate climate member of the tropical family Annonaceae, which includes the cherimoya, a cultivated fruit popular in the tropics. In the wild it grows from southern Michigan to Georgia and from the Atlantic coast to Kansas. It is generally found in the understory of wooded areas, especially in rich moist bottomlands and along streams. The tree will grow in well drained upland wooded areas, although in these locations the fruit may be less abundant and somewhat smaller.
The pawpaw is deciduous and reaches heights of 20 to 30 feet, occasionally 40 feet. If space and light allows, it will develop into a handsome cone-shaped specimen. The tree tends to send up off-shoots from stolons every few feet, a tendency which diminishes if confined to one trunk. The tree's large, drooping, elliptical leaves give it a tropical appearance. The leaves measure up to 12 inches long and 3 to 4 inches wide. In the autumn they turn a golden yellow.
A pawpaw seedling should begin blooming in six to eight years. The flowers are dark maroon in color and up to 1 1/2 inches across, blooming occurs on previous year's wood. They have six leathery petals, three on the outside spreading into a rounded triangle and three smaller petals nestled on the inside. The flowers exhibit a drooping or downward posture.
Tiny clusters of fruit appear after pollination. The clusters, typically have two to six green skinned fruits, point outward in a manner similar to bananas. In northern Illinois the fruit will mature from late September through mid October. The pawpaw's intense tropical flavor, sweetness, and aroma will fully develop if left on the tree until it is ready to drop. This is the time to pick pawpaws for favor quality; however the fully ripened fruit has a shelf life of only a few days and it is easily damaged. The fruit can be successfully stored in refrigeration for up to three weeks. The fruit ranges from a few ounces to as much as a pound; typically, the fruit will be five to ten ounces. Pawpaws, generally, are three to five inches long with a caramel yellow pulp containing two rows of dark brown lima bean-like seeds that take up a large volume. The seeds are not difficult to remove.
Why has this hardy and delicious native fruit that thrives with little or no care, highly resistant to insects and diseases, been largely overlooked? The major drawbacks are: the fruit is highly perishable, thus commercial production and handling methods have never been developed. Successful transplanting of a tree or root sucker is difficult because of the taproot, therefore, the pawpaw is grown by very few home orchardists.
If you are interested in edible landscaping that is attractive in appearance, try a pawpaw. To get a pawpaw going consider buying seedlings or grafted cultivars from nurseries. Another simple way to start a tree is to plant seeds outdoors in the fall. Collect seeds from a tree that has tasty and abundant fruit. Be sure to keep the seeds moist until planting. Plant the seeds in a spot that is moist and partially sunny. A shallow planting is best. Also good results can be obtained by simply scattering seeds on the ground and then covering them with two or three inches of rotted mulch or leaves. Shoots will not appear until the following summer. Sometimes the seeds may lie dormant a year and not germinate until the second spring. If the selected area is sunny, the seedling will need shade for a couple of years. Full sunlight is deadly to seedlings. This problem can be overcome by putting a barrel ( approx. 30" long ), open on both ends, around the seedling. The barrel may be removed when the seedling grows to the top of the barrel. You should have two or more varieties to insure fruit set. If it should become necessary to transplant, the best time is in the spring when the tree is only one or two years old.
Grafting can be utilized to propagate cultivars exhibiting desirable fruiting characteristics or as a means to avoid the difficulties of transplanting. Once a seedling trunk has grown to about the thickness of a pencil it is suitable for grafting scion wood from a tree one wishes to reproduce. Scion wood should be from last year's wood and contain at least two good leaf buds. The leaf buds have a flattened profile and taper to a point, whereas blossom buds are roundish, larger and are a darker brown. A good time to graft is when the buds on the understock are showing green. If by chance a seedling, or seedlings, upon reaching fruiting age produces fruit not of your liking simply graft on scion wood from a tree producing fruit of desirable characteristics.
Pawpaw seedlings and grafted cultivars are available from various sources. Examples are:
Peterson Pawpaws, PO Box 1011, Harpers Ferry, WV 25425, (304)535-3125. Pawpaw expert and founder of The PawPaw Foundation, Neal Peterson owns this nursery. MidFEx members love the quality of his nursery stock; a highly recommended source.

Храм Пророка Илии в Тёплых рядах, на бывшем Новгородском подворье — православный храм в Тверском районе Москвы. Относится к Иверскому благочинию Московской епархии Русской православной церкви.

История
Каменный храм строили как собор основанного не позднее XV века рядом с Московской торговой площадью Ильинского монастыря. От имени этого храма получила названия улица Ильинка, торг стал называться Ильинским крестцом. Строительство храма велось с 1519 по 1521 годы, «а ставил от простых людей нехто именем Клим, а прозвище Мужило». В честь Небесного Покровителя ктитора в южной апсиде был устроен придел священномученика Климента. Церковь горела в 1547 году, пострадала при пожаре 1626 года.

Восстание горожан 27 мая 1606 года в Москве против Лжедмитрия I началось после удара набата на колокольне монастырского храма Илии пророка, сделанного по приказу Шуйского. В Смутное время монастырь был упразднен, храм стал приходским, и в 1676 году его вместе с церковной землей передают Новгородскому архиерейскому дому и надстраивают верхним храмом, куда переносят престол в честь пророка Илии. Древний нижний храм освятили во имя апостола Тимофея.

В 1820-х годах с северной стороны пристроена колокольня. В 1864 году, после изменения фасада и значительной перестройки (нижний храм упразднен, снесена галерея, в южной апсиде верхнего храма устроен лестничный пролет) церковь стала частью Тёплых Торговых рядов.

Храм закрыли в 1923 году, затем разобрали верхний ярус колокольни. С 1930 по 1980 годы в здании храма располагались различные учреждения. Здание является объектом культурного наследия федерального значения.

С 1995 году в Храме возобновились богослужения.
С 1998 года проходят противоаварийные и реставрационные работы. Ниже современного уровня улицы раскрыт объем древнего храма 1519 года.

Stephen King Announces Sequel to The Shining, Paulo Coelho Trashes Joyce's Ulysses, and More
Evan Smith Rakoff
Every day Poets & Writers Magazine scans the headlines—from publishing reports to academic announcements to literary dispatches—for all the news that creative writers need to know. Here are today's stories:
"The fact that my child is dying (people rarely phrase it this way, it's always a watered-down description) will apparently transform me into a metal that also appears in another pop song." Emily Rapp writes of grief, and Yaddo. (Rumpus)
Amazon is now selling e-books in the United Kingdom in greater numbers than print. (TechCrunch)
Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho has choice words for James Joyce's Ulysses. (Guardian)
A new web start-up, Togather.com, intends to help authors revive the book tour via crowdsourcing. (In recent years, publishers have dramatically scaled back author tours to save costs.) (Digital Book World)
Stephen King announced he will deliver a sequel to his 1977 best-seller, The Shining. (Los Angeles Times)
Sarah Miller writes of literally the worst word in the world. (Awl)
In case you missed this Slate essay on Friday suggesting social media's literary community is too nice—it made Twitter all aflutter.
Washington Post book critic Ron Charles weighed in on the kerfuffle; Roxane Gay disputes the premise at Salon; and novelist Emma Straub, who was used as an example in the Slate piece, answered the criticism directly via her blog.
Meanwhile, Adam Sternbergh, at the New York Times Magazine's 6th Floor blog, suggests a list of names to consider in lieu of "Twitterverse," such as Twitlandia.

The Erasmus+ project developing free educational resources for grassroots coaches was presented at the FIBA Oceania Mini Basketball Convention in Echuca, Australia.
FIBA, the world's governing body for basketball, and its charitable arm the International Basketball Foundation (IBF), have embarked on a global quest to develop and promote Mini Basketball, the adapted format of the game for children up to 12 years of age. A major drive of this campaign is providing coaches with educational opportunities to help this mostly volunteer workforce create positive Mini Basketball experiences for children across the world.
After impressing delegates at the FIBA Europe convention last June with its holistic philosophical approach to the coaching of children and FREE suite of online resources , IBF requested iCoachKids made the trip Down Under to offer support to Oceania coaches and federations. Dr Sergio Lara-Bercial, project director, travelled to the historic town of Echuca in Victoria to conduct an on-court demonstration on how coaches can support children develop their own thinking and problem-solving skills whilst enjoying the game of basketball. In addition, Sergio ran a workshop with delegates based around The iCoachKids Pledge, ten evidenced-based golden rules for positive experiences in grassroots sport.
iCoachKids will continue cooperating with FIBA and IBF over the next few months to spread the Mini Basketball philosophy and message across all other world regions with trips planned for December (Sri Lanka, FIBA Asia) and Mexico (FIBA Americas).


When autumn comes around, one of my favorite activities is to pick (or sometimes just buy) a bunch of local apples and turn them into dessert. And, while I appreciate a broad range of apple desserts, one of my favorites is apple crisp.
This fall, I discovered an apple crisp recipe by Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa). I made it twice, the first time pretty much following the recipe exactly except for a slight increase in apples to accommodate a different size pan. The topping was outstanding, but the filling was a bit mushy and too citrusy. The second time, I reduced the citrus and used half Granny Smith apples and half Gala, decreasing the sugar slightly due to the sweetness of the Galas. This improved the flavor of the filling, and though it was one of the best apple crisps I've ever eaten, the filling was still too soft. The next time, I'll try baking at a higher temperature for less time and/or cutting the baking time and broiling the top, to try to keep the apples a bit more together while still browning the crisp.

Experimental and modelling of temperature-dependent mechanical properties of CNT/polymer nanocomposites
S. Tamayo-Vegas*, Khalid Lafdi
Mechanical and Construction Engineering
Polymer-matrix composites (PMC) reinforced with nanofillers are in constant demand in various industrial applications. Among nano reinforcements, carbon nanotubes (CNT), show a unique combination of physical properties. Often, PMC/CNT composites perform under harsh operating and environmental conditions ranging from aggressive chemical attacks to high temperatures. Material characterization is critical for correct implementation in multifunctional systems. In this study, we have developed two Representative Volume Elements based on the formation of agglomeration above 2 wt% percentage of CNTs. Using finite element analysis (FEA) we studied the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites as a function of temperature. The viscoelastic properties of different percentages of nanofillers (i.e., 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 5 wt%) were derived. Experimental validation was performed with the samples containing the percentages of nanofillers. The samples were tested using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) equipment employing the three-point bending method at a fixed frequency. The data shows that the nanofillers drastically influenced the storage, loss modulus and loss factor with a small addition of carbon nanotubes. The viscoelastic properties are presented from temperatures ranging from 40 ℃ to 120 ℃. Finally, a good agreement between the numerical and experimental approaches was found.

Fluorescence microscopy is an important and fundamental tool for biomedical research. Optical microscopy is almost non-invasive and allows highly spatially resolved images of organisms, cells, macromolecular complexes, and biomolecules to be obtained. Generally speaking, the architecture of the observed structures is not significantly modified and the environmental conditions can be kept very close to physiological reality. The development of fluorescence microscopy was revolutionized with the invention of laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). With its unique three-dimensional representation and analysis capabilities, this technology gives us a more real view of the world.
This chapter introduces the reader to the methodology of setting up basic experiments for use with a laser scanning confocal microscope. There are practical guidelines about sample preparation for both fixed and living specimens, as well as examples of some of the applications of confocal microscopy.

AC Milan extend Gattuso's contract
AC Milan have confirmed that coach Gennaro Gattuso will be rewarded with a new contract this Easter.
Gattuso, the club's former youth team coach, took over the seven-time European champions from Vincenzo Montella last November and has rekindled the club's season as they sit within the Europa League spots and with hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
"When we open our eggs this Easter, we're going to find Gennaro Gattuso's renewal inside," the club's sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli told journalists.
Gattuso is still on the same wage he earned when in charge of the youth team — a reported 120,000 euros ($150,000) a year — making him the lowest-paid coach in the Italian top-flight.
His new deal would be around the two million euro ($2.4 million) per season, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.
"I've been telling you for some time, although perhaps you only know him as a player, that Rino (Gattuso) is already an important coach and in the future will be one of the best in the world, so it's only right that Milan keep hold of him.
"We are working to start a new era with Gattuso, because we believe he is the right coach for a Milan that must be a protagonist over the next few years."
Gattuso — an AC Milan player from 1999-2012 — has guided the northern Italian side on a 10-game unbeaten streak in Serie A, including eight wins, ahead of Saturday's game against champions Juventus in Turin.
Italian media reports suggest he could sign the new deal prior to the city derby against Inter Milan on April 4.
"We all want it (contract), Rino like all of us, we just need to find the right time to do what we have to do," added Mirabelli.

Een ligboxenstal ook wel loopstal genoemd, is een type stal voor rundvee.
In een ligboxenstal lopen de koeien los op betonnen roosters, waardoor de mest en urine door sleuven of gaten in het beton in een put valt, de mestput. Soms is er ook een dichte vloer, met een mestschuif, die de mest naar een put schuift. Het woord ligboxenstal geeft aan dat voor elke koe in een box beschikbaar is om te rusten en te herkauwen. Het komt echter voor dat koeien geen gebruik willen maken van de boxen en op het rooster liggen.

Een ligbox is een langwerpige ruimte van ongeveer 1,10 m breed en 2,40 m lang met aan beide zijden een boxafscheiding, een hek van een 5 cm dikke buis die in allerlei vormen gebogen kan zijn, zoals een U-vorm, een R-vorm of gewoon een hek met afgeronde hoeken. De diverse vormen hebben voordelen voor het comfort van de koe, zodat de koe zo min mogelijk hinder ondervindt van het hek tijdens het rusten, gaan liggen en weer opstaan.
De boxen staan in rijen naast elkaar aan de lange zijden van de stal, of in het midden van de stal in een enkele rij, of twee rijen waarbij de koeien met de koppen naar elkaar liggen. De bodem van de ligboxen is hoger dan de rest van de stal zodat de boxen droog en schoon blijven, en is vaak van beton met een laag zaagsel of gehakseld (kleingesnipperd) stro erop of rubbermatten van 2 cm dik. Ook bestaat de bodem wel uit een laag van 20 cm zand of klei, welke de natuurlijke omstandigheden het meest nabootst.

In de stal worden de koeien ook meestal gevoerd met ruwvoer (kuilvoer) dat ze kunnen eten door met kop door een hek te steken, het voerhek. Soms bestaat zo'n hek gewoon uit twee op een afstand van 60 cm. boven elkaar gemonteerde stalen buizen, maar meestal is dit een zelfsluitend voerhek, wat als voordeel heeft dat de koe vastgezet kan worden. Een koe kan dan niet snel de lekkerste hapjes voor de neus van andere koeien wegkapen, maar moet eten wat op dat moment voor haar snuit ligt. De koeien staan per dag een beperkte tijd vast in dit hek. De meeste tijd loopt de koe los en kan gaan en staan (liggen) waar zij wil.

Ligboxenstallen zijn pas in de jaren 70 in zwang gekomen. Voor die tijd stonden de koeien in de winter altijd vast, meestal op een grupstal. Het melken gebeurde vroeger met de hand, waarbij het gemakkelijker werkt als de koe vaststaat. Met de opkomst van de melkmachine werden veehouderijbedrijven steeds groter, omdat dit een behoorlijke arbeidsbesparing opleverde. Eerst werden de koeien nog gemolken in ketels, die handmatig geleegd werden in een melkbus. Later kwam men op het idee om de koeien naar de melker toe te laten komen in een aparte melkstal. Het is handiger om de koeien dan los te laten lopen, dan om ze twee keer op een dag voor het melken los te maken en daarna weer vast te zetten. Je kunt de koeien dan houden in een potstal, waarbij behoorlijk wat strooisel (stro o.i.d.) nodig is om de koeien schoon te houden.
Een koe mest namelijk overal waar zij staat. Met boxen is dit vuil worden van de koeien goed te voorkomen, doordat ze er vooruit in lopen en dan gaan liggen met de kont naar achteren. Ze mesten dan op de mestgang of de roosters.  In de ligboxen kan men zo met veel minder strooisel toe.

In of aan een ligboxenstal is een aparte ruimte gebouwd waarin de koeien gemolken worden, de melkstal. Dit kan een visgraatopstelling zijn, een zij-aan-zijopstelling, een open tandemopstelling of een draaimelkstal. Hier gaan de koeien 2 of 3 keer per dag doorheen om gemolken te worden.

McDonald's will fit perfectly with the French culture, because after all, what is a French mime but a mute, humorless Ronald McDonald? And if that's not enough to convince the French, we'll offer their kids the "Ennui Meal"... Think of all the new visitors they'll get with masterworks like the Grimace de Milo or the McLisa.

Executive Order No 314 created the Presidential Commission on Values Formation. It is President Arroyo's recognition of "the Filipino's strong desire to see the establishment and institutionalization of just and moral governance."…There are doubts about this new commission—whether it will work, if it's for real, or just another bone thrown to reform-oriented groups. The only way to settle those doubts is to find out if the commission has the means to do what it's supposed to.

Letter From Barney Frank to Fed Found Supporting Broker's Position on LO Comp
The National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) has discovered a letter written on March 24, 2011 from Rep. Barney Frank, Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee to Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board (FRB). In the letter, Rep. Frank requests immediate action on two items he took issue with regarding the FRB's change to Regulation Z; Docket No. R-1366, Truth-in-Lending on steering and loan originator compensation. Rep. Frank's first objection is about the Fed's LO compensation rule appearing to prohibit mortgage brokers, who is receiving borrower-paid compensation from paying their employee loan officers. Rep, Frank's second objection would allow mortgage brokers to make last-minute fee reductions to accommodate for additional settlement costs. "We thank Congressman Frank very much for writing this letter on behalf of the mortgage broker," said Mike Anderson, CRMS of Essential Mortgage, Government Affairs Committee Chair of NAMB. "We are going to be using this letter from Rep. Frank." NAMB filed a lawsuit on March 9, 2011 against the Board of Governors of the FRB seeking temporary and preliminary restraints to delay the April 1, 2011 implementation of the LO compensation rule. NAMB's suit argued that the FRB's LO compensation rule, as drafted, will "cause devastating and irreparable harm to small business mortgage brokers, their loan officers and their entire staff as of its April 1, 2011 implementation date." Also filing a suit against the FRB regarding the LO compensation rule was the National Association of Independent Housing Professionals (NAIHP). NAMB and NAIHP requested a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the rule which was denied by Judge Beryl Howell in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. However, a stay of the rule was granted on March 31st, however the stay was lifted just six days later on April 6th as the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and Appellate Judges Karen LeCraft Henderson, David Tatel and Brett M. Kavanaugh lifted the stay and the LO compensation rule took effect the morning of April 7, 2011. On April 18th, NAIHP withdrew their suit against the FRB with prejudice, which means they can come back at anytime. NAMB continues to work behind the scenes in building a case against the FRB in hopes of receiving an expedited hearing in May before the Appellate Court, however, Appellate Judges LeCraft Henderson, Tatel and Kavanaugh are going on vacation and a hearing would likely not take place until mid- to late-summer.

You can also take advantage of private guided tours for the best local advice, including tapas bars and wine producers.
See the El Prado, one of the world's premier art galleries
Relax and unwind with the locals on Conil's wide, sandy beaches
Sample fresh fish where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean
Choose optional excursions like Sherry-tasting in nearby Jerez
Take a guided walking tour of Sevilla's historic center
Days 1-2 Arrive in Madrid - Explore the City Madrid
Day 3 Train to Sevilla - Drive to Conil de la Frontera Conil de la Frontera
Days 4-6 Explore Conil & Costa de la Luz Conil de la Frontera
Day 7 Drive to Sevilla - Return Rental Car Sevilla
Day 8 Guided Tour of Sevilla Sevilla
Day 9 Train to Madrid - Depart Spain
Days 1-2: Arrive in Madrid - Explore the City
Welcome to Madrid!
Welcome to Spain! Once you arrive at the Madrid airport or train station, you'll catch a transfer to your hotel to settle in. The rest of the day (and tomorrow) is free time to explore at leisure.
You can start by experiencing the famous El Prado museum, one of the world's finest collections of European art. Visit the highlights of the collection, such as Velazquez's "Las Meninas," El Greco's "Fable," and Goya's "The Countess of Chinchón."
There are plenty of barrios (districts) to check out, as well. You can go shopping on Calle Serrano or Gran Via, or visit El Rastro market if you happen to be in the city on a Sunday. If you want to see more art, the Reina Sofia, Sorolla, and Thyssen Bornemisza museums await. Another more outdoorsy option is to paddle a rowboat or stroll through El Retiro park—or simply watch the city go by from a café in the Chamberi district. If you prefer a guided tour, you can find several options by foot, bicycle, or even electric scooter.
At night, make sure to check out the late-night tapas scene since Madrid is known for as being one of the culinary capitals of Europe. The picturesque barrio of La Latina in the center of Madrid is home to a tremendous variety of tapas bars, most of them dotted along its liveliest streets: Cava Baja and Cava Alta. Madrid is also known for its nightlife with more bars than any other city on earth, including upscale cocktail lounges and nightclubs that spin tunes until dawn.
Day 3: Train to Seville - Drive to Conil de la Frontera
Beach at Conil de la Frontera
This morning, after breakfast, it's time to transfer to Sevilla by either flight or high-speed train. Upon arrival, you'll collect your rental car and grab some lunch in town before heading south towards the Costa de la Luz (coast of light) and the seaside town of Conil de la Frontera. This is where you will spend the next few days relaxing and exploring the beaches and villages in the area.
The drive takes just under two hours as you wind past ancient cities like Cadiz and Jerez de la Frontera (you'll have more time to visit them in coming days). Once you arrive at your hotel in Conil, take the rest of the afternoon to hit the beach and go for a swim, or explore the town's historic squares, charming shops and laid-back way of life.
Days 4-6: Explore Conil & Costa de la Luz
Atlanterra Beach near Conil
The Costa de la Luz runs from the ancient city of Cadiz all the way down to the closest point in Europe to the African continent. This is also the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
Over the next few days, you'll have plenty of time to explore the seaside towns, villages, and beautiful beaches that stretch up and down this coastline. Don't miss the family-friendly towns of Tarifa and Zahara de los Atunes, or the stunning beaches of Bolonia, Caños de Meca, or El Palmar, among many others.
While out and about, you can stop for a seafood lunch in a beachside bar or local restaurant and take in the views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Strait of Gibraltar. You can even see across to Africa on a clear day.
You can also take a guided tour of the nearby city of Cadiz, surrounded by water on the Iberian peninsula. Cadiz is said to be the oldest city in Western Europe, and it has been invaded and inhabited by an enormous number of western civilizations. There are more than 100 watchtowers, including the iconic Torre Tavira, which was traditionally used for spotting ships, as well as the domed, 18th-century Cadiz Cathedral, featuring baroque and neoclassical elements.
Another option is to take a tour of Jerez, the home of Sherry wine and the Royal School of Equestrian Art. Sherry is a fortified wine made from white grapes, which are grown outside of Jerez de la Frontera. After fermentation is complete, the wines are fortified with an additional spirit (also made of grapes) in order to increase their final alcohol content.
In addition, there are also a number of guided activities and water sports that can be arranged.
Day 7: Drive to Sevilla - Return Rental Car
Hit the streets in Sevilla
This morning, set off from Conil de la Frontera and make the return two-hour trip to Sevilla where you can drop off your rental car. From here, you can take a taxi to your accommodation in the center of Sevilla.
Once you've settled in your hotel, step out into Sevilla's meandering streets. This beautiful city is known for its architecture and the historic center is easy for exploring. The Centro (central zone) is where you'll find the cathedral, the Alcázar, Calle Sierpes, and Plaza Nueva. You can also stroll down the elegant pedestrian shopping streets for ultimate people-watching opportunities.
Day 8: Guided Tour of Sevilla
Yellow architecture in the city's historic center
Today starts with a tour of Sevilla's most emblematic landmarks. Your private guide will collect you from your hotel to take you on a stroll to show you the numerous historical gems that make Sevilla special, such as the magnificent Alcázar with its Mudéjar (neo-Moorish) palaces and oasis-like gardens, the Catedral de Sevilla, also known as the largest gothic building in the world, and the neighbourhood of Santa Cruz, the old Jewish Quarter.
Your guide will be on hand to answer all your questions. At the end of the tour, you'll even drop into one of their favorite tapas bar where you can get more local recommendations. Following the tour, you'll have the rest of the afternoon to continue exploring Sevilla at your leisure.
Day 9: Train to Madrid - Depart Spain
Madrid's Atocha Station
It's time to say goodbye to Spain! This morning, you'll be transferred to Sevilla's Santa Justa train station to take the high-speed train to Madrid's Atocha train station in about 2.5 hours. With comfortable seating and refreshments on board, this is a great mode of transportation for longer distances in Spain.
On arrival in Madrid, you'll be transferred to Madrid Barajas Airport to connect with your departure flight. Safe travels!

We are seeing more and more books being written by compassionate Bible scholars who passionately believe that we have been misinterpreting the Bible when it comes to our stewardship of the earth and all it contains (humans, non-humans, and the environment). Ian A. Stuart's The Animals' Bible is one of those books; however, his approach is unique.
We found one of Ian Stuart's statements quite profound, when he was talking about his own development and his instinctive compassionate attitude toward animals and the way adults tried to destroy they sensitivities: "However, no matter how earnestly adults try, they cannot fool children. The young have an uncanny of adding two and two and coming up with hypocrisy." The Animals' Bible cuts through all this hypocrisy!
In The Animals' Bible, we are taken on a step by step journey through the pages of the Bible, Apocrypha and other references, to come to an understanding of the intent of both God and the original writers, and in turn, of our own responsibility as stewards of God's earthly creation.
In The Animals' Bible we also find ourselves on a spiritual journey with the author as he awakens to God's intent for us to be His loving and compassion caretakers of the earth. Many of us may differ in specific Biblical interpretations, but the commonality of our quest to understand God's intention for a cruelty-free world is most evident in Ian Stuart's book.
We highly recommend that you, too, take this spiritual and compassionate journey with Ian Stuart through the pages of The Animals' Bible.
Read portions of the original The Animals' Bible that Ian Stuart sent to us in 2000, well before the book was finalized, and better yet, buy the book.
Ian A Stuart is a film, television, live theater and radio producer who has written, produced and directed over 135 films and television programs including "The KangaZoo Club", a 26 week children's television series about animals produced for the Global Television Network.
Motivated by a lifelong affinity for animals and abhorrence for the moral evil of cruelty, Ian became one of the founders, past president, and former director of his local Humane Society. Through the society he was extensively involved in the rescue, rehabilitation and release of urban wildlife over a period of six years.
Now concentrating on writing, Mr. Stuart is working on several screenplays and a number of projects related to animal welfare with both spiritual and practical applications.
Ian lived and works in the community of Scarborough in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where he attends the Anglican (Episcopal) Church of St. Paul's L'Amoreaux and frequently officiates in Morning prayer and Evensong.


The aim of this study was to collect different precipitation types including air water (air humidity), rain water and solid water samples (snow and frost deposit) in the close surroundings of Mondi SCP, Inc., which is the most significant source of pollutants in the Ružomberok area, and one of the highest polluters in Slovakia. Subsequently, the samples were analysed using colorimetry (photometry) and gas chromatography. Colorimetry was used to measure the concentrations of ions dissolved in the samples including chlorides Cl-, sulphates SO42-, carbonates CO32-, ammoniacal nitrogen N-NH4, nitrates NO3- and phosphates PO43-. Results were processed by the correlation analysis in combination with PCA and ANOVA by the STATISTICA programme. Gas chromatography/mass selective detection (GC/MSD) was used to detect and identify potential organic pollutants present in the samples. The sampling started in May 2015 and continued to March 2016. In addition, the day levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), relative humidity, temperature, ground level ozone and PM10 dust particles were monitored during the whole period of sampling. The results of the statistical analysis show 7 different effects that influenced the level of ions in a different type of water as well as in a different season. The most occurring organic compounds detected by the chromatographic analysis were: alcohols, alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons (including terpenes), carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones), carboxylic acid esters, carboxylic acids, derivatives of ammonia, biphenyl or mercaptan, ethers, PAHs (including pyrenes), phosphoric acid esters (including chlorinated organophosphates) and phthalates.


Choose an IceWhale operator for memorable and responsible encounters with cetacean in their natural habitat.
There are many reasons for the success of whale watching in Iceland; including the number of whales species, accessibility and the success rates of the tours. The summer months have generally been considered the high season for whale watching in Iceland but the winter months have increasingly proved an exciting and adventurous whale watching period. We encourage guests to choose an IceWhale operator for boat-based whale watching in Iceland, as they abide to our code of conduct for responsible whale watching. Don't forget – you can also watch whales from land in some parts of Iceland.
Whales have for centuries had a strong place in the Icelandic society. Icelandic folktales and proverbs indicate the importance of whales in earlier times and some of them tell stories of fascinating interactions between humans and cetacean.
The idea of whale watching in Iceland is believed to have first been set out in 1948 by Jóhannes Kjarval, a famous Icelandic painter and conservationist. His idea was to build a 'Whale Peace Vessel' that would substitute the whaling operation that was under construction at the time. It wasn't though until 1991 that Kjarval's ideas came through and the first whale watching tour was run on a chartered fishing vessel from Höfn in Hornarfjörður and again in 1992.
The formal start of the operation is though considered 1995 following a whale watching workshop in Keflavík lead by WDC and the Reykjanes Tourist Board. The first scheduled tours were operated from Húsavík and Keflavík and since then the operation has grown exponentially and is now run in many locations, including the capital area. The summer months have generally been considered the high season for whale watching in Iceland but the winter months have increasingly proved an exciting and adventurous whale watching period.
Salka Whale Watching is a family owned company emphasizing on personal service and comfort for our passengers. Our whale watching tours take you to traditional whale watching areas on a beautiful oak boat. Skjálfandi Bay is alive with birds, puffins and whales.
Gentle Giants offers whale watching tours and other exciting seafaring adventures from Húsavík, in the north of Iceland – often considered as the Whale Watching Capital of Europe. Our company is proud of its originality and background with more than 150 years of family history in Skjálfandi Bay. Welcome aboard traditional Icelandic oak boats or modern RIB speedboats in search of the giants of the ocean. Your chances of seeing whales are up to 97-99%.
Láki Tours is a vibrant company originated from Grundarfjordur, Iceland. It operates three boats for whale watching with departures from Grundarfjordur in winter time and Olafsvik and Holmavik in summer time. Snæfellsnes peninsula (Grundarfjordur and Olafsvik) offers excellent orca watching opportunities in winter and early summer but it's humpback whales that are most common on tours from Holmavik. Other species such as dolphins and minke whales are common but occasional visitors are blue whales, orcas, pilot whales and sperm whales.
Eco-friendly whale watching since 1995!
The Húsavík original whale watching tour with North Sailing has been visitors' top pick for more than 20 years, placing the small fishing town on the map as the whale watching capital of Iceland. Now the tour is available carbon-neutral, on Andvari, the silent, green energy, electric boat with minimum disturbance to whales and nature. Also offering puffins and northern lights tours from Húsavík and shorter whale watching tours from Hjalteyri, a charming small village in Eyjafjörður, only a 15 minute drive from Akureyri.

From 15 May – 30 September we operate our whale watching tours up to 8 times a day. You can choose between our Classic Whale Watching on our newly renovated and specially modified 200-passenger Catamaran, equipped with cinema style viewing platforms and spectacular views or one of our 12 seater RIB-boats for a more thrilling experience and closer encounters.
Whale Safari is Reykavik's only small groups whale watching tour operator. Our specially made RIB boats are made to get close to the whales, dolphins and puffins of the Faxaflói Bay. We only seat 12 passengers per boat, and each boat has a expert whale watching guide and captain on board. We search for the whales and also visit the puffins when they are in season and do a sightseeing tour of Reykjavík from the sea front. Oh! And all of this in less then two hours.
Elding is a family owned company and the first to offer whale watching tours from Reykjavík. We put great care into the business and the adventures at sea have become a lifestyle for us.

Whale Watching Hauganes is the oldest whale watching tour operator in Iceland, founded in 1993. We operate from Hauganes, a small fishing village on the west side of Eyjafjörður, just 20 minute drive North of Akureyri. From this picturesque town, our tour will quickly immerse you in the midst of the whale populations and rich sealife characteristic of the area. Whether the whales have ventured deep into the fjord or stay closer to Hrisey, they are always just a short trip away from Hauganes.
