\section{Introduction}

Although jets are ubiquitous phenomena in many different astrophysical
objects as young stellar objects where they are driven by protostars,
symbiotic stars (white dwarfs), X-ray binaries (neutron stars and stellar mass
black holes) and active galactic nuclei (supermassive black holes), their
formation is relatively unclear.

The mass loss rate of the jet is found to be connected to the mass accretion
rate of the underlying disc found in most objects \citep[e.g.][]{Liv97}.
Therefore the necessary components seem to be well known and common to all
objects. A more careful investigation of one specific class of objects should
promise new insights also for the mechanisms in the other classes. From the
observational point of view, one needs observations with a high spatial
resolution and kinematic informations from regions as near as possible to the
jet source. These aspects make the class of symbiotic stars ideal testbeds.

Symbiotic stars are interacting binaries with orbital periods in the range of
years. These systems show outbursts similar to classical novae. The stellar
component is a cool red giant (RG), the hot component a white dwarf (WD) with
temperatures of 50000 -- 200000 K. Both stars show mass loss through
supersonic winds. Wind material from the RG is captured by the WD to form an
accretion disc. The accretion then causes thermonuclear explosions of the WD
surface leading to an increase in luminosity followed by jet emission. Jets
are detected in 10 out of almost 200 symbiotic stars \citep{BSK04} and this
process was directly observed in CH Cygni \citep{TSM86}. Other famous systems
are R Aquarii and MWC 560. While the first two objects are seen at high
inclinations, the jet axis in MWC 560 is practically parallel to the line
of sight.

Another class of accreting WDs are cataclysmic variables (CV) which are
{\em very close} WD binaries with a low mass main sequence star as
companion. The mass transfer is due to Roche lobe overflow, not due to wind
accretion. The short timescales in these systems make them the best understood
accreting systems. Remarkably, they show no jet emission. Further related
objects are supersoft X-ray sources, in which the temperature and pressure in
the boundary layer (BL) of the WD are in the correct range to maintain steady
nuclear burning on the WD surface.

In jet formation models presented so far, the magnetic field seems to play a
key role. The first analytical work studying magneto-centrifugal acceleration
along magnetic field lines threading an accretion disc was done by
\citet{BlP82}. They have shown the braking of matter in azimuthal direction
inside the disc and their acceleration above the disc surface by the poloidal
magnetic field components. Toroidal components of the magnetic field then
collimate the flow. Numerous semi-analytic models extended the work of
\citet{BlP82}, either restricted to self-similar solutions and their geometric
limitations \citep[e.g.][]{PuN86,VlT98,VlT99,FeC04} or with non-self-similar
solutions \citep[e.g.][]{Cam90,PeP92,BrC00}.

Another approach is to use time-dependant numerical MHD simulations to
investigate the formation and collimation of jets. In most models, however,
a polytropic equilibrium accretion disc was regarded as a boundary condition
\citep[e.g.][]{KLB99,KLB04,ALK,GBW99}. The magnetic feedback on the disc
structure is therefore not calculated self-consistently. Only in recent years
were the first simulations including the accretion disc self-consistently in
the calculations of jet formation presented \citep[e.g.][]{CaK02,CaK04,KMS04}.

Due to the fact, that strong magnetic fields have been detected so far
only in one symbiotic system \citep[Z Andromedae,][]{SoB99}, the jet formation
by magneto-centrifugal forces exclusively seems to be insufficient. Radiative
launching can be excluded due to too small radiation fields. A new possibility
to accelerate plasma close to the central object was proposed involving
SPLASHs ({\em SPatiotemporal Localized Accretion SHocks}) in
the BL \citep{SoR03}. Locally heated bubbles expand, merge and accelerate
plasma to velocities larger than the local escape velocity. \citet{SoL} applied
this model to disk-accreting white dwarfs to explain the absence of jets in
CV. They have found a critical accretion rate of $\sim 10^{-6}$
$M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ below which no jets should be present. This scenario was
introduced only in analytic estimates.

In section \ref{sec_estim}, we give general estimates based on observations of
the well studied jet in MWC 560. After that we calculate the magnetic field
near the white dwarf required for jet formation by MHD processes in section
\ref{sec_magn}. In section \ref{sec_obs}, we list different ways with which a
magnetic field in MWC 560 could be detected. Finally a discussion is given.

\section{General estimates} \label{sec_estim}

As observed by \citet{SKC01} and as used to simulate the jet nozzle in
\cite{SCS05}, the parameters of the jet in MWC 560 are
\begin{itemize}
\item the velocity $v_{\rm jet} = 1000$ km s$^{-1}$ ,
\item the number density $n_{\rm jet} = 5 \times 10^6$ cm$^{-3}$, which is
equal to a mass density $\rho_{\rm jet} = 8.4 \times 10^{-18}$ g cm$^{-3}$, and
\item the jet radius $R_{\rm jet} = 1$ AU.
\end{itemize}
\noindent
Using the equations
\begin{eqnarray}
\dot M_{\rm jet} &=& \pi \, R_{\rm jet}^2 \, m_{H} \, n_{\rm jet} \,
v_{\rm jet} \nonumber \\
\dot P_0 &=& \dot M_{\rm jet}\,v_{\rm jet}  \nonumber \\
L_{\rm jet} &=& \frac{1}{2} \, \dot M \, v_{\rm jet}^2 = \frac{1}{2} \, \pi \,
 R_{\rm jet}^2 \, m_{H} \, n_{\rm jet} \, v_{\rm jet}^3 , \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
this specifies
\begin{itemize}
\item the mass outflow rate $\dot M_{\rm jet} = 9.33 \times 10^{-9}$
$M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ ,
\item the momentum discharge $\dot P_0 = 5.93\times 10^{25}$ g cm$^{-1}$
s$^{-2}$ and
\item the kinetic jet luminosity $L_{\rm jet} = 2.93\times 10^{33}$ erg
s$^{-1}$.
\end{itemize}
\noindent
This luminosity can be provided by several different mechanisms:
\begin{itemize}
\item by the (insufficient) luminosity of the white dwarfs
\begin{eqnarray}
L_{\rm WD} &=& 4\,\pi\,R^2_{*}\,\sigma\,T^4 = \nonumber \\
&& 3.5 \times 10^{30} \,
\left( \frac{R_{*}}{7\times 10^8 \,{\rm cm}} \right)^2\,\left(
\frac{T}{10^4\,{\rm K}} \right)^4 \,{\rm erg \,s}^{-1}
\end{eqnarray}
\item the accretion power of the disk (and almost the same amount coming from
a BL) of a rotating magnetized WD
\begin{eqnarray}
L_{\rm acc} &=& \frac{G\,M_{*}\,\dot M}{R_{*}} = 1.19 \times
10^{35} \,\left( \frac{M_{*}}{M_{\odot}} \right) \nonumber \\
&& \times\,\left( \frac{R_{*}}{7\times 10^8 \,{\rm cm}}
\right)^{-1}\,\left( \frac{\dot M}{10^{-8}\, M_{\odot} {\rm yr}^{-1}} \right)
\,{\rm erg \,s}^{-1}
\end{eqnarray}
\item or the magnetic luminosity \citep{Came97}
\begin{eqnarray}
L_{\rm mag} &=& \frac{1}{2}\,\Omega_{*}\,\,R^3_{*}\,B_p\,B_{\varphi} =
4.76 \times 10^{34} \nonumber \\
&& \times\,\left( \frac{\Omega_{*}}{{\rm h}^{-1}} \right)\,
\left( \frac{R_{*}}{7\times 10^8 \,{\rm cm}} \right)^3\,
\left( \frac{B_p}{{\rm MG}} \right) \,
\left( \frac{B_{\varphi}}{{\rm MG}} \right) \,{\rm erg \,s}^{-1}.
\end{eqnarray}
\end{itemize}
\noindent
The flux in the UV band was measured as $10^{-9}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$
\citep{MMO91} and the UV luminosity -- which is likely to be equal to the
accretion power of the disk and the boundary layer -- is then
\begin{equation}
L_{\rm UV} = 1.2 \times 10^{35}\,\left( \frac{d}{{\rm kpc}}
\right)^2 \,{\rm erg \,s}^{-1}.
\end{equation}
\noindent
With a derived distance of 2.5 kpc, this suggests an minimal accretion rate
of $6.3 \times 10^{-8}$ $M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ and therefore an ejection
efficiency of 14 \%.

The minimal accretion rate is below the critical accretion rate derived by
\citet{SoL} by a factor of 16. As these authors claim an uncertainty of a
factor of $\sim 10$ and the remaining factor could naturally arise from
our estimates, this should not concern.

Using the observables $\dot M$, $L_{\rm jet}$ and $\dot P_0$, one can fix in
principle the two free parameters $\chi$ and $\Gamma$ of the model of
\citet{SoR03}. These parameters are the fractions of the mass outflow rate
due to SPLASHs to the accretion rate and of the initial kinetic
energy to the final kinetic energy inside a SPLASH, respectively.
Fixing the model highly depends on estimating the right mass accretion rate
which, however, is rather difficult.

\section{Required magnetic fields in the magnetic jet formation scenario}
\label{sec_magn}

Let $\Psi$ be a magnetic surface anchored at the inner radius of the accretion
disk. Then this surface remains always inside the jet up to large distances.
Using the constants of motion along this surface and the jet parameters, one
can make detailed estimates following from the scenario.

As magneto-centrifugally driven jets have fast-magnetosonic Mach numbers
$M_{\rm fm} \sim 3$ \citep[e.g.][]{KLB04}, the total magnetic field in the jet
should be
\begin{equation} \label{B_jet}
\sqrt{B_{p,{\rm jet}}^2+B_{\varphi,{\rm jet}}^2} = \frac{1}{3}\,\sqrt{4\,\pi\,
\rho_{\rm jet}}\,v_{\rm jet} = 0.34 \, {\rm G} \sim B_{\varphi,{\rm jet}},
\end{equation}
\noindent
as the azimuthal component should be dominant inside the jet. With the
conservation of current $I = R\,B_{\varphi}$, the azimuthal field near the jet
source is then
\begin{equation}
B_{\varphi,0} \sim 7.3\,{\rm kG} .
\end{equation}
\noindent
As $B_{\varphi,0} \ll B_{p,0}$ , the total magnetic field should be by far
larger. An upper limit can be found using again equation (\ref{B_jet}), namely
$B_{p,{\rm jet}} \ll 0.34$ G, and the conservation of flux $\Psi = B_p\,R^2$,
leading to magnetic fields in the range of
\begin{equation} \label{B_range}
7.3\,{\rm kG} \ll B_{p,0} \ll 155\,{\rm MG} .
\end{equation}

\section{Observing the magnetic field} \label{sec_obs}

Following \citet{BSK04}, jets are detected in 10 out of almost 200 symbiotic
stars. Remarkably, this is exactly the fraction of magnetized to un-magnetized
{\em isolated} white dwarfs with field strengths larger than 30 kG
\citep{WiF}.

A strong magnetic field, however, has been detected only in one symbiotic
system \citep[Z Andromedae,][]{SoB99}. They interpreted an observed periodic
photometric variability as the Keplerian spin period at the magnetospheric
radius $r_{\rm mag}$, where the magnetic pressure of the WD's field is
comparable to the ram pressure of the accreted material. This radius can be
calculated as
\begin{eqnarray}
r_{\rm mag} &=& \left( \frac{B^4\,R^{12}}{32\,G\,M\,\dot M^2} \right)^{1 / 7}
= 3.6 \times 10^9 \,\left( \frac{B}{{\rm MG}} \right)^{4 / 7}\\
&& \times\,
\left( \frac{R}{7\times 10^8 \,{\rm cm}} \right)^{12 / 7}\,
\left( \frac{M}{M_{\odot}} \right)^{- 1 / 7}\,
\left( \frac{\dot M}{10^{-8}\, M_{\odot} {\rm yr}^{-1}} \right)^{- 2 / 7}\,
{\rm cm} , \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
\noindent
which leads to a Keplerian period of
\begin{eqnarray}
P &=& 2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{r_{\rm mag}^3}{G\,M}} = 116 \,
\left( \frac{B}{{\rm MG}} \right)^{6 / 7}\,
\left( \frac{R}{7\times 10^8 \,{\rm cm}} \right)^{18 / 7}\nonumber \\
&& \times\,
\left( \frac{M}{M_{\odot}} \right)^{- 5 / 7}\,
\left( \frac{\dot M}{10^{-8}\, M_{\odot} {\rm yr}^{-1}} \right)^{- 3 / 7}\,
{\rm s} .
\end{eqnarray}
\noindent
In the case of Z And, the measured period was about 28 min \citep{SoB99},
equivalent to a magnetic field of about 22 MG.

As no oscillations have been detected in MWC 560 so far, the magnetic
field near the white dwarf should have lower values in the range of eq.
(\ref{B_range}) -- of the order of
$B = 100$ kG, with which the period would be 16 s and therefore certainly
below any observable limit.

\citet{SoR03}, however, assumed that the magnetic field either inside the jet
or near the jet source would undergo fast reconnection which heats up the
plasma to temperatures making the gas visible in X-rays. The maximum
temperature up to which the gas is heated can be estimated by equipartition
\citep{TYK03} as
\begin{equation}
T_{\rm max} \sim 10^6 \,\left( \frac{n}{10^{6}\,{\rm cm}^{-3}}\right)^{-1}\,
\left( \frac{B}{100\,{\rm mG}}\right)^{2}\,{\rm K} .
\end{equation}
\noindent
Inside the jet, the maximum temperature, however, would be negligible. Near
the jet source it would be $\sim 7 \times 10^7$ K with a density of
$1.4 \times 10^{16}$ cm$^{-3}$ -- which corresponds to an accretion rate of
$10^{-8}$ $M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ -- and a magnetic field of 100 kG. The
emissivity in Bremsstrahlung, created by reconnection, would then be
$3 \times 10^9$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-3}$ and, multiplied by the volume of the
accretion disk affected by the magnetic field
$(2\,\pi\,R_{*})\times(0.1\,R_{*})\times( r_{\rm mag} - R_{*} )$, the total
luminosity would be $2.4 \times 10^{35}$ erg s$^{-1}$. With again a distance
of 2.5 kpc, the flux would be $3\times 10^{-8}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$. MWC
560 was not detected by the {\em ROSAT} all-sky survey, although the flux
limit of {\em ROSAT} is $3 \times 10^{-12}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$
\citep{CVB02}.

A common argument in YSOs to explain the non-detection is absorption by a high
column density. As \citet{SKC01} and \citet{SCS05} have found that the number
density near the red giant should be of the order of 10$^9$ cm$^{-3}$ and then
be decreasing following a $1/r^2$-law, the total column density in directions
with large inclination would be of the order of 10$^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$ which is
too low to cause the necessary absorption. The column density of the jet in
MWC 560 has similar values \citep{SKC01} leading to the same conclusion.
The non-detection therefore sets an upper limit for the magnetic field which is
at the lower end of the range of eq. (\ref{B_range}).

\section{Discussion}

By analytic estimates for the symbiotic star MWC 560, we have tried to decide
which of the two main mechanisms -- formation by MHD processes or formation by
thermal pressure in the boundary layer (BL) -- is more reliable to explain the
observed parameters of jets in symbiotic stars. This question can not (yet) be
answered by observations.

The X-ray observations of MWC 560 giving an upper limit for the magnetic field
strength show that is still consistent with the minimal magnetic field
required for a magnetic jet formation process. Further X-ray observations are
needed to reduce this detection limit and to decide whether the magnetic
scenario can be excluded or not. Until very high speed photometric
observations are made, also the first way to deduce the magnetic field
strength does not reveal any reason against a magnetic jet formation
process. At the moment, both mechanisms are still possible.

As the BL scenario was introduced only analytically and the derivation of the
model parameters by observation is highly difficult, however, numerical
simulations of a compact object with a solid surface accreting matter would be
interesting. Then the reliability could be qualitatively and quantitatively
checked in different ranges of parameters, which should be interesting not
only for symbiotic stars, but also for other kinds of binaries. The
effectivity of jet launching by thermal pressure inside the BL should be
investigated and dependencies of jet parameters as outflow rate, outflow
velocity and jet kinetic luminosity from initial model parameters as e.g. the
mass accretion rate should be derived. The authors have started first
simulations whose results will be presented soon.

Everton could benefit from bidding war for winger
Sunderland rumoured to be in for McGeady
By Tom Mallows@TomMallows_ Jul 5, 2015, 5:49pm BST
Share All sharing options for: Everton could benefit from bidding war for winger
Julian Finney/Getty Images
The Liverpool Echo is claiming that Sunderland are considering going up against Celtic in the race to try and sign winger Aiden McGeady.
Since costing a nominal fee from Spartak Moscow in January 2014, McGeady has been something of a disappointment in an Everton shirt.
The Ireland international has occasionally shown flashes of skill and creativity - remember his goal against Leicester last August - but I can honestly say I cannot remember him putting in a decent performance for the full 90 minutes.
The 29-year-old played just three more times after being sent off against West Ham in the FA Cup back in January and the arrival of Gerard Deulofeu is likely to limit is first-team opportunities still further.
Reports last week (mainly on Twitter, it has to be said), claimed McGeady was unsettled at Goodison Park and was keen on a move back to former club Celtic.
The Echo now claims that Sunderland are ready to make a move, perhaps sparking the most unlikeliest of "bidding wars" that has all Evertonians rubbing their hands with glee.
A fee in the region of £1million has been touted and Everton should consider anything more than that as a bonus given McGeady's form over the past 18 months.
He is definitely a player who be considered surplus to requirements with any cashed raised put towards strengthening other parts of the squad.

ICEY Review
Elliott Osange June 1, 2018
The very idea of anything meta is always a very tenuous and dangerous realm to enter into. Even though the word gets tossed around pretty casually when you spend long enough on the Internet, the actual execution of the idea is something entirely different. People often confuse breaking the 4th wall with meta, which are similar but still separate entities. Wikipedia's entry on Wikipedia, for example, is some good meta. Deadpool talking to the comic book audience…somewhat meta. Meta, strangely, applies best when it comes to games about games, specifically games about themselves. Game Dev Tycoon isn't meta until you make a game called Game Dev Tycoon (or if you've pirated the game and then get your ingame sales hurt by piracy…or is that irony?) In any case, players are wise to approach a game that wears "META" on its sleeve a bit too loudly, as was my intro to the 2D hack-and-slash ICEY.
ICEY sets the stage as putting you in the shoes of the titular heroine who may or may not be a cyborg, on a quest to stop an evil madman known only as Judas. Judas has plans to essentially bring all the world under his command through a sort of cybernetic mental link, and you're going to stop him. Probably. I mean, the main idea here is a bit less about getting to the objective that you're set upon and, instead, seeing where you can end up when you take the paths you want. Despite what the narration may ask, beg and demand of you. Oh yes, ICEY is unabashedly, full frontal meta.
What's interesting, from the very beginning, is that ICEY has a lot of legitimate hallmarks to a good, solid if somewhat well-trodden game. You have an awesome sword, a light and heavy attack, the ability to dash to avoid getting hit and you use visual cues for when a counterattack is coming and when you can engage the opponent in a finishing blow. Before you learn even a single thing about the actual plot of ICEY, you're given a chance to familiarize yourself with the controls, and it's a really smooth, clean execution of things. When you seriously get into the flow of a good combo, singular enemies don't stand a chance: you can literally hover in air and keep bouncing them off the ground while smacking them around until you deliver the death blow with no damage received. Naturally, you end up fighting a lot of enemies in waves to help prevent you from having an overpowered, boring go at things, and the enemies have plenty of variety in their attacks. From long ranged assassins to simple grunts, complex brawlers to pesky fodder, you have a bit of everything, leading up to some fairly impressive bosses.
ICEY also allows you to grow and evolve as time goes on thanks to combinations of save points and skill shops. The money that you get from slain enemies and from random finds goes towards improving the skills you have, as well as unlocking new and unusual skills. It should be noted that you can get through the whole game without needing to unlock any of the extra perks, but there's not a great reason to. Players should definitely save up to hone their existing skills to higher damage rates and even max out their HP/recovery, because it does assist in a lot of the longer battles. You can recharge HP by doing the finishing blow to most enemies, but having some extra in your reserve instead of counting on enemies to drop it is the better choice.
So, if ICEY were merely a side scrolling button flurry, it'd still be a great game. But what ICEY does best is it's trip down the rabbit hole. Shortly after beginning, you run into a dead end and the game "crashes," a scenario that is slightly less believable on the Nintendo Switch (but still quite enjoyable). What happens next is the first step down a long, complex and sometimes hilarious road of confusion, panic and outrage at the hands of the developer. There's clearly some kind of divide between the vision the developer has and the game you are choosing to play, and you can, naturally, follow all of the narration (the voice of the dev) to the very end and play the game they intended for you all along. No harm, no foul, and it's a good trip from your first step to the final encounter with Judas atop the Clock Tower. And you should probably consider doing that at least once, if only to see what the game is "supposed" to be.
However, it takes very little to end up going way, way off the reservation and ending up where you shouldn't be. Disregarding the arrows, it's fairly interesting and even exciting to discover parts of the game where you shouldn't be yet, or where the game hasn't been finished, and then being exposed to the befuddlement, wrath and, eventually, insecurities of the creator. You pull back the curtain to discover there's this whole other layer to the game that paints Judas out to be a real person, that ICEY's purpose is more than to simply be in the game, and that ICEY might even be more than she realizes. Discovering all the truths and all the facets that come from the game is truly fascinating, and the achievement list helps chronolog all the things and discoveries you make along the way.
Of course, such heavy meta does come with a price. For one, there are times in ICEY where the disbelief from the developer comes across as incredibly hammy and insincere. After the third time of me going against the grain and trying something new, how on earth could you be surprised that I disregarded your advice? The tone shifts eventually, but there was this whiny period that made uncovering the meta a bit unpleasant because I knew how the creator would react.
Additionally, the game, when you strip away the meta, is pretty short. Even with all the meta moments and achievements, this is a couple days worth of play, maybe just one day if you're invested enough (which most players will be). The Switch port is well done, with some good handling, a little slowdown with heavy mob spawn (the battle against Parker springs to mind) and some decent rumble implementation. But if you've played this before on Steam, there isn't a ton that's new, at least not from the core of the game, and many US Steam clients already have ICEY due to the fire sale last year that included a heavily discounted Steam Link. I forgot I already had this game until something in the name clicked.
But I hadn't played it before, and, as the developer mentioned in the meta, why not buy a second copy to support his hard work? In all sincerity, ICEY is a pretty trippy experience that's nicely balanced by a furious, articulate slasher. If you haven't played the game before and would like to try something truly different, I highly recommend grabbing it on the Switch, so that you can bring your curious sense of morality and existence wherever you go!

Isn't winter wonderful . . . at the beginning? That first snowflake; a blanket of fluffy white; a fresh, brisk bite to the air.
And suddenly, that familiar yearning returns: to spot a patch of green grass, to take in the scent of freshly turned soil, to find the first flower petals poking up from the ground. We begin to realize—could it be?—that winter is coming to a close.
And the countdown to spring begins!
Sometimes the last weeks of winter can feel like years—but if you incorporate activities to enjoy while you're waiting for warmer weather, they can whizz by. What do we quilters do? We thread our needles to sew the sun, we gather our fabrics to grow some flowers, and we create light and bright quilts to celebrate the coming of spring.
Today we're sharing a few fun ways to stay happy during the last weeks of winter. Choose your favorite springtime scene below and stitch an ode to the season of new beginnings—we guarantee it will get you through these last 35 days until spring.
Who knows? If we all sew together, spring just might decide to arrive early this year!
Gather your hand-dyed wools to make this sweet springtime scene; all you need to finish your piece is foam-core board and a rustic frame.
What a showstopper for spring! We love how Jeanne and Shelley use rickrack to add life to their flower stems—check out their how-to video on how to sew rickrack on quilts (*sew* easy).
Gretchen used yummy felted wools and her favorite bird, animal, and flower motifs to create this sonnet to spring—simply a masterpiece! But don't be fooled. No-fray wool makes this beauty easier to stitch than you might think.
Whether spread on a table, draped over a sofa, or hung on the front door, this long-lasting wreath will spread springtime cheer. In the book you'll find other ways to personalize your wreath—make one for every season!
Susan chose a dark hue for the pieced background of this runner, and it gives her pretty purple flowers extra sparkle and pop.
Lynn was inspired to design this dazzler when she was reminded of a childhood art project—making paper poppies for Mother's Day. Fusible appliqué makes the design easier than it looks. Doesn't the patchwork make a perfect backdrop for these flowers?
We hope we inspired you with our sewing-for-spring roundup! For more flower quilt patterns, check out our "Flowers" category of books at ShopMartingale.com.
What excites you most about spring: the riot of colors, the return to the outdoors, the rising temperatures? Tell us in the comments!
You made my heart pitter-patter with this post. And yes, after having our 20 millionth snow storm with a freezing rain storm on top, I am done with winter. Loved seeing all the pretty appliqués.
Color excits me after the browness that is all around. Plus the anticipation of the first fruits of the garden.
Lovely floral quilts — but we're wondering where winter is. Here in Chicagoland the temperatures are 20 degrees are above normal!
The beautiful colors of spring excite me most. I love the blue sky, the green grass, the yellow butter cups, the red tulips, the white and purple crocus, and the purple iris.
After the winter we have had in Yakima I am more than ready for sunshine and flowers.
I like spring because it's a season of renewal. This is the season you decide to paint or redecorate your home. It's also the season where it's awe inspiring to just be able to walk the dog down a trail. Spring means hope for the future.
I love the spring green leaves budding out on the trees.
The sight of bulbs coming up, all the colors, the sunshine and blue sky. Getting out side and the return of the birds. I just love Spring.
I look forward to the color of springtime flowers that precede the summer brown-out.
I love the colors of spring that are so vivid. A true gift after winter.
I'm excited about the riot of colors, and the trees blushing every color of green. Bring it on.
I am delighted each year to see the new leaves breaking on the branches of trees. Especially horse chestnuts have such a beautiful fragile bright green leaf for their first few weeks.
Here, in California, because of all the rain we have had (yay!) the hills are green, the grass in our yards is green. It's wonderful! My favorite about Spring is no foggy days, sunshine all the time! Actually, our best "Spring" days are during the Winter!
I actually love winter. More time for me to quilt! However, oodles of cute baby calves are right around the corner!
Can't wait to see the wildflowers in the desert. They should be spectacular due to all the rain we've had in SoCal.
I love spring flowers and I also love Susan's appliques.
I love everything about spring–it's my favorite season!
I look forward to the pastel and then brighter colors of spring. It's like a whole new world is opening up. Can't wait….only a few more weeks.
I have no idea what warm is this year. This winter has been harsh and I hate the cold weather (even though it allows for more stitching). The new growth of everything from animals to grass is my favorite thing about Spring. Everything looks so new and clean after the winter mud and snow. I like that I can make a quick run outside for something without having to bundle up in three layers too.
Hurry and show yourself SPRING!
Bunny time and flowers, that is what excite me about Spring.
I love the warming temperatures and all the greens that Spring produces. Such beautiful projects.
Can't wait to go outside without a coat! The colors, smells, and light are all icing on the cake!


Isolation and physiological analysis of mouse cardiomyocytes.
Cardiomyocytes, the workhorse cell of the heart, contain exquisitely organized cytoskeletal and contractile elements that generate the contractile force used to pump blood. Individual cardiomyocytes were first isolated over 40 years ago in order to better study the physiology and structure of heart muscle. Techniques have rapidly improved to include enzymatic digestion via coronary perfusion. More recently, analyzing the contractility and calcium flux of isolated myocytes has provided a vital tool in the cellular and sub-cellular analysis of heart failure. Echocardiography and EKGs provide information about the heart at an organ level only. Cardiomyocyte cell culture systems exist, but cells lack physiologically essential structures such as organized sarcomeres and t-tubules required for myocyte function within the heart. In the protocol presented here, cardiomyocytes are isolated via Langendorff perfusion. The heart is removed from the mouse, mounted via the aorta to a cannula, perfused with digestion enzymes, and cells are introduced to increasing calcium concentrations. Edge and sarcomere detection software is used to analyze contractility, and a calcium binding fluorescent dye is used to visualize calcium transients of electrically paced cardiomyocytes; increasing understanding of the role cellular changes play in heart dysfunction. Traditionally used to test drug effects on cardiomyocytes, we employ this system to compare myocytes from WT mice and mice with a mutation that causes dilated cardiomyopathy. This protocol is unique in its comparison of live cells from mice with known heart function and known genetics. Many experimental conditions are reliably compared, including genetic or environmental manipulation, infection, drug treatment, and more. Beyond physiologic data, isolated cardiomyocytes are easily fixed and stained for cytoskeletal elements. Isolating cardiomyocytes via perfusion is an extremely versatile method, useful in studying cellular changes that accompany or lead to heart failure in a variety of experimental conditions.

Jerome K Jerome and the Wheels of Change
I've just read Jerome K Jerome's autobiography My Life and Times.
He comes across as a genial fellow who knew all the literary men of his age. He was born in 1859 and so lived through the age when transport changed, changed utterly.
THE WHEELS OF CHANGE
When I was a boy, a stage-coach started each morning (Sundays excepted) from an old inn off the Minories. Not the shining band-box of the coloured print, with its dancing horses, its jolly coachman, and its dandy guard, but a heavy lumbering vehicle drawn by four shambling horses, all of a different size, driven by a rheumaticy old curmudgeon, who had to be hoisted on to his seat, and his whip handed up to him afterwards. It went through Ongar and Epping, but its final destination I forget. To many of the smaller towns round London the railway had not then penetrated; and similar relics set out each morning from other ancient hostelries. Carriers' carts were common everywhere, connecting London with what are now its nearer suburbs, but which were then outlying villages. A row of them stood always in the middle of the Whitechapel Road, opposite St. Mary's church. They were covered with a hood, and had a bench for passengers along each side, and a little window at the back. For those in a hurry who could afford the price, post chaises were still to be hired, with top-hatted postillions and horses with bells that galloped over the cobbles. Respectable people—especially publicans—kept a gig; and sporting old ladies, on visits to their bankers or solicitors,[would drive themselves into the city behind their own fat ponies.
The bicycle had not yet arrived: though nearly every afternoon an odd old fellow used to ride down Mare Street, Hackney, on a tricycle he had made for himself. In wet weather, he carried an umbrella over his head with one hand, and steered with the other. He was quite a public character, and people used to wait about to see him pass. The first bicycles were nicknamed "spiders." The front wheel was anything from fifty to sixty inches in diameter and was joined to a diminutive back wheel by a curved steel bar, shaped like a note of interrogation. Their riders had to be youths of skill and courage, or woe betide them. They wore tight-fitting breeches and short jackets that ended at the waist. Your modern youngster on his grimy "jig-pig" with his padded legs, his bulging mackintosh, his skull-cap and his goggles, goes further and faster, I admit; but his slim grandfather, towering above the traffic on his flashing wheel, was a braver sight for gods and girls.
It was my nephew, Frank Shorland, who first rode a safety bicycle in London. A little chap named Lawson claimed to have invented it. He became a company promoter, and later retired to Devonshire. A cute little chap. The luck ran against him. It was he who first foresaw the coming of the motor, and organized that first joy ride from the Hotel Metropole to Brighton in 1896. Young Frank was well known as an amateur racer. He believed in the thing the moment he saw it, and agreed to ride his next race on one. He was unmercifully chaffed by the crowd. His competitors, on their tall, graceful "spiders," looked down upon him, wondering and amazed. But he won easily, and from that day "spiders" went out of fashion; till they came to be used only by real spiders for the spinning of their webs.
The coming of the "safety" made bicycling universally popular. Till then, it had been confined to the young men. I remember the bitter controversy that arose over the argument: "Should a lady ride a bicycle?" It was some while before the dropped bar was thought of, and so, in consequence, she had to ride in knickerbockers: very fetching they looked in them, too, the few who dared. But in those days a woman's leg was supposed to be a thing known only to herself and God. "Would you like it, if your sister showed her legs? Yes, or no?" was always the formula employed to silence you, did you venture a defence. Before that, it had been: "Could a real lady ride outside an omnibus?" or "Might a virtuous female ride alone in a hansom cab?" The woman question would seem to have been always with us. The landlady of an hotel on the Ripley Road, much frequented then by cyclists, went to the length of refusing to serve any rider who, on close inspection, turned out to be of the feminine gender; and the Surrey magistrates supported her. The contention was that a good woman would not—nay, could not—wear knickerbockers, "Bloomers" they were termed: that, consequently, any woman who did wear bloomers must be a bad citizeness: in legal language, a disorderly person, and an innkeeper was not bound to serve "disorderly characters." The decision turned out a blessing[Pg 89] in disguise to the cycling trade. It stirred them to invention. To a bright young mechanical genius occurred the "dropped bar." A Bishop's wife, clothed in seemly skirts, rode on a bicycle through Leamington.
Bicycling became the rage. In Battersea Park, any morning between eleven and one, all the best blood in England could be seen, solemnly peddling up and down the half-mile drive that runs between the river and the refreshment kiosk. But these were the experts—the finished article. In shady by-paths, elderly countesses, perspiring peers, still in the wobbly stage, battled bravely with the laws of equilibrium; occasionally defeated, would fling their arms round the necks of hefty young hooligans who were reaping a rich harvest as cycling instructors: "Proficiency guaranteed in twelve lessons." Cabinet Ministers, daughters of a hundred Earls might be recognized by the initiated, seated on the gravel, smiling feebly and rubbing their heads. Into quiet roads and side-streets, one ventured at the peril of one's limbs. All the world seemed to be learning bicycling: sighting an anxious pedestrian, they would be drawn, as by some irresistible magnetic influence, to avoid all other pitfalls and make straight for him. One takes it that, nowadays, the human race learns bicycling at an age when the muscles are more supple, the fear of falling less paralyzing to the nerves. Still occasionally, of an early morning, one encounters the ubiquitous small boy, pursuing an erratic course upon a wheel far and away too high for him—borrowed without permission, one assumes, from some still sleeping relative. With each revolution, his whole body rises and falls. He seems to be climbing some Sisyphian staircase. But one feels no anxiety. One knows that by some miracle he will, at the last moment, succeed in swerving round one; will shave the old lady with the newspapers by a hair's breadth; will all but run over the dog; and disappear round the corner. Providence is helpful to youth. To the middle aged it can be spiteful. The bicycle took my generation unprepared.
Jerome K Jerome took part in the Emancipation Run in 1896, when a parade of motor cars drove to Brighton – or rather broke down and didn't make it. The Run was held to celebate the passing of the the Emancipation Act, the name that motorists gave to the Locomotives on Highways Act 1896, which lifted the restrictions on the use of motor vehicles on roads.

San Diego might turn into a hotbed of activity if it hasn't already. With a set of market trends taking root, San Diego commercial real estate is set to explode.
Looking For an Office in San Diego?
It's a case of supply and demand for the Californian city. The number of jobs there has long since started to increase, and the same goes for the income tied to them. Even so, there aren't enough buildings to hold the influx of new, well-off workers. A sore lack of San Diego office space is a real problem, but it's one that provides opportunities to eager investors. By building projects, they can cater to the demand of workers in dire need of a good work place .
To be fair, San Diego isn't completely unique by offering up something for investors. The commercial real estate market is doing surprisingly well throughout the United States, thanks to the spread of low interest rates and the efforts of excited investors. Still, San Diego commercial real estate has become a major talking point despite going under the radar for so long beforehand. Technology companies are the ones partly responsible for the economic upturn — and of course, San Diego has plenty of them in its borders. Torrey Pines, Miramar, and Sorrento Mesa all play host to companies old and new, with opportunities aplenty for biotech firms.
Even if that's true, competition is still stiff in San Diego. Commercial buildings are in high demand, and in the eyes of some investors, there's been no better time to try and provide.
It may not have the sprawl or glamour of a city like New York, but San Diego has some accolades to call its own. While the Californian city is far from rural, it still ranks fourth in the percentage of suburban offices in the nation. A full 85% of San Diego office space resides well away from the urban center, which claims the remaining 15%. If investors and the economy have their way, then that fact might change by 2018 and beyond.
In the past two years, the industrial space has seen as much demand as the office space. Manufacturers and warehouses have respectively had vacancy rates of 6.6% and 6.7%. For comparison's sake, that's less than half of the vacancy rates of the in-demand office rates of the city; the data suggests that it hovered around 14.4% back in 2014. It's a safe bet that commercial real estate in general is going to stay a hot topic among investors. Of course, buyers and sellers are getting in on the action, too. As long as the low interest rates remain, buyers are going to be eager to dish out their money upfront. That would give sellers a huge amount of power, since they could decide the terms of any given deal as long as the price is right.
Even if investors are willing and able to buy, San Diego still won't make every deal a snap. The commercial real estate market may invite investments, but those who venture into the city still have to stay wary of other price tags. Offices can come saddled with high rent, and the cost of living is another sticking point. Even if business starts to boom in the city, it's not enough to wipe away the fact that San Diego's lacking on the transportation front. Without a lot of international flights at the airport or a nearby seaport, the technology companies that want to set up shop might reconsider beforehand.
Getting something out of San Diego's real estate may mean investors will have to jump some serious hurdles, but it's a far cry from impossible. If it really was too much to handle, then the fight for good office space would have ended before it even started. With office properties' asking price per square foot well above where it stood in years past, real estate gurus have long since realized that there's money to be made. As long as San Diego and the changing economy keep providing golden opportunities, then buyers, sellers, investors, and everyone in between will have something to make the most of. Maybe someday, they'll all help take the Californian city to the top of the charts.

Fitzwater's plan to reduce size of state House moves forward
House Legislature motimesblog.com
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Republican state Rep. Travis Fitzwater's resolution to reduce the size of the state House advanced this week after he made some minor tweaks.
The constitutional amendment — in its current form — would create a four-to-one ratio of House districts to Senate districts in Missouri, bringing the number of House seats to 136. Unlike the original proposal, the number of Senate seats would remain unchanged if the resolution is approved by voters.
"I came here to be a good government Republican, and this is one area that seems completely obvious that we can put before the voters," Fitzwater told The Missouri Times.
He noted his resolution would better "organize" the House districts so that they correspond with just one Senate district. Fitzwater's 49th district, for example, encompasses two Senate districts, he said.
The resolution passed out of the House General Laws Committee Thursday and is headed to the Rules Committee. The lone vote against the resolution was cast by Republican state Rep. Chuck Basye.
The original version, which Fitzwater presented Monday, would have slashed the number of state representatives to 120 from 163, yet increase the size of the state Senate by six lawmakers.
Fitzwater defended the resolution as a "good government" proposal and told his colleagues he was serious about moving it forward.
"I want this to be a legitimate conversation," he said.
Fitzwater previously said his plan could reduce millions of dollars per year in total costs to the state if voters approve it. He also maintained the resolution should be decided during a general election. A special election would be costly, he said, and would "undo" the fiscal savings the resolution would otherwise provide.
The measure would also change the term limit requirements for legislators, limiting members to 12 years in the General Assembly total instead of the current 8 year limit in each chamber.

The primary objective of these appearing auditions is to evaluate the performing talent in addition to personality of the actor. There are still plenty of unknown and struggling actors who go through appearing audition every different day, to showcase their expertise and within the hope of impressing the judges to get that huge break. Evidently, the judges have to refuse some as not everyone can get selected by them. They have the liberty and choice to pick out or reject these wannabe actors at such performing auditions.


I really hope that was a temporary lapse of judgement and not the start of a new trend.

I'm surprised and saddened by that reaction. Given how hard people come down on ATM ideas elsewhere here, I was expecting a stronger negative reaction to its presentation on UT.
I for one would like to know why UT wasted space (and their time) posting about this rubbish rather than reporting about mainstream space science and astronomy news, which is what it's supposed to be doing. It's an aberration, and it sets a precedence that ATM material is welcome on UT. I don't want that sort of garbage in my science reporting websites, so if UT continues to do this then I'll find somewhere else to get my space news. It also didn't particularly make an effort to present it as a fringe idea that nobody except this one guy seriously believes - it was essentially presented as a press release.
Furthermore, it showed that UT (or at least the author of that article) didn't do the necessary research on the proponent of the idea before submitting the article in the first place, which is somewhat troubling.
Hi EDG, you are welcome to start a discussion about this in e.g. astronomy.
"Mercury formed under great pressure and high temperature" I have no idea what the "great pressure" is supposed to mean here.
"it should be responsible for absorbing large amounts of hydrogen." I assume this is supposed to be during the formation of the iron core of Mercury?
"As it cools and transforms to a solid state, the hydrogen is then released, forming a type of "geyser" on the planet's surface." Well, I guess it the liquid iron can capture hydrogen, then it can also release it. However, how much it can capture I don't know. Also the cooling and solidifying of the iron core is a slow process, so I would be hard pressed to have so many geysers on the surface.
"These hydrogen geysers could certainly have caused the rimless depressions that MESSENGER sees." says Herndon, a self-proclaimed maverick in the world of planetary geology. Well at least the maverick part is a hint.
The most likely formation mechanisms for the hollows involve recent loss of volatiles through some combination of sublimation, space weathering, outgassing, or pyroclastic volcanism. These features support the inference that Mercury's interior contains higher abundances of volatile materials than predicted by most scenarios for the formation of the solar system's innermost planet.
Maybe there are planetary formation specialists here who can comment further?
... Maybe there are planetary formation specialists here who can comment further?
I am not a planetary formation specialist, but I paid a lot of attention to Herndon's work several years ago. He seemed to have ideas that didn't mesh with mine, but some of his premises provoked thought. I think that one of his notions is that the four terrestrial planets were once hot Neptunes (or bigger), and that the Sun and collisions evaporated a great deal of their gasses away. When you look at the Deuterium/Hydrogen ratio on Venus (and Earth to a lesser degree), that idea answers a few questions.
Herndon goes off in some interesting directions that are clearly ATM, but I see him as a good example of why we pay attention to ATM.
Well, I was trained as a planetary scientist, and if you look at this guy's website (nuclearplanet.com) you will see that pretty much everything he claims is completely ATM. Heck, he thinks that features that we know are caused by plate tectonics are actually caused by "planetary decompression" (wrong) because he thinks earth was 64% smaller in the past (wrong), and that there's a nuclear reactor in Earth's core (wrong), that the magnetic of the earth is generated by it (wrong), and many other crazy ideas. Plus the usual claims of how he's right and has singlehandedly solved all these "mysteries" that have supposedly perplexed everybody else for decades. The guy's clearly a loon.
I just find it weird that people here are mercilessly skeptical about ATM ideas on the forum, but just shrug their shoulders when UT presents a story about one. I thought the editorial procedure on UT would be better than that.
You are aware that BAUT and UT are separate websites? Fraser is part owner of BAUT, but he's sole owner of UT and can establish his own rules for what he posts.
Same for Phil, the BA in BAUT. He can post things on his blog that are not allowed here (politics, religion).
Why discuss a topic on UT here?
I see captain swoop moved the posts just before I posted this one. So I moved mine, too.
I just figured someone might notice on the Forum Feedback board. Nobody seems to read/care about the UT forums, it just seems to be a one-way feed for when new UT articles are posted, and discussions rapidly drop below the front page because of that.


You want more muscles right? Maybe you have tried other creatine products, but no other one is as powerful as this one. Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals knows how to make things intense and powerful by added 4 different kinds of creatine in one formula! this will help give you strong, giant gains and increase your protein synesis! Introducing Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Phosphagen 500 Grams!
Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Phosphagen is powerful creatine supplement for bodybuilders to help enhance the creatine in your body while delaying muscle fatigue and improving recovery time! The reason this is the best creatine supplement out there is because it is made with 4 different kinds of creatine to make your body as intense as it can be!
Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Phosphagen is one of the most unique creatine products out there because of its blend. This powerful phosphagen supplement has 4 kinds of creatine: Creatine Nitrate, Disodium Creatine Phosphate Tetrahydrate, Creatine Phosphate, and Creatine HCl. You get a whole 12.5g of this property blend of massive creatine to build muscles.
Phosphagen has 4 kinds of creatine in it, so you don't have to worry about that nasty creatine side effect of bloating. Hi-Tech also added Guanidinopropionic acid, which helps feed the creatine into your bloodstream faster to get the effects better.
Creatine Nitrate is the newer version of Creatine monohydrate. This type of creatine has its molecule on the nitrate side. This being so, creatine nitrate increases the quality of the creatine itself. This ends up being much more concentrated than the average creatine.
Disodium Creatine Phosphate Tetrahydrate is a Phosphate reservoir, which is the main source of Phosphate.
Creatine Phosphate or Phosphocreatine is a phosphorylated creatine that is used to give you rapid energy release. These get stored in muscle cells to then be used for explosive and intense training.
Creatine HCl is another creatine but this one is bonded to hydrochloric acid. This one helps with increasing muscle size and making your body anabolic.
How do I take Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Phosphagen?
On training days: take 1 scoop with 8-10 ounces of water 20-30 minutes prior to training.
On non-training days: take 1 scoop with 8-10 ounces of water anytime as desired during the day.

We've been bringing readers all of the latest leaks and rumors regarding the iPad 5, although of course nothing will be confirmed until Apple chooses to officially announce it. One aspect of the next iPad that has cropped up on several occasions is that it will have a smaller and slimmer form factor with thinner bezels. A new report today states that the iPad 5 could borrow the iPad mini touch panel technology, and this ties in with rumors of an overall decrease in size.
A decreased overall size for the next standard-sized iPad has been consistently rumored and just recently we showed readers some leaked images that also seemed to indicate this. When we recently looked ahead to the iPad 5 release we also informed readers that the iPad 5 was likely to utilize some of the improvements that the iPad mini demonstrated. Now it seems that the same touch panel technology will be used.
The iPad mini uses a film-based touch panel, which is both thinner and lighter than the glass-based touch panels being used in the full-sized iPad 4. Because this has been a successful move for the iPad mini, the sources claim that Apple will use the same film-based panels for the iPad 5.
Previously, technical disadvantages made film-based touch panels less appealing to manufacturers, but those obstacles seem to have been resolved. This of course is excellent news for makes of PET films that are used in the production of these kinds of panels, especially given the amount of Apple iPads that are produced.
We expect the iPad 5 to be launched within the next few months, and as we approach a release we are likely to see increasing amounts of leaks regarding the device. While we wait for more news of the next iPad we'd like to receive your comments. Are you hoping to purchase the iPad 5? If so, would you appreciate a smaller form factor made possible by the use of film-based touch panels?

Do you like lands that enter tapped? Do you like throwing good money after bad money? Do you like trying to win at multiplayer magic with spikey cards to pull off the world's worst wincon? Do you like using an illegal commnader? Then come on down!
Genju of the Realm! Spirit Barf the universe!
This is my favourite deck. It has never won the way I want it to.
The deck does three things: a splash of grouphug, creature-land voltron, and trying to Maze's End (emphasis on 'trying'). How it plays depends on what you draw. But someday I dream of scapeshifting with amulet of vigor and 11 lands on the field so that I can finally *finally* use Maze's End's ability to win a game of EDH. Knowing me, I'll try it, then realize I scapeshifted for 9 guildgates and a bounce land. But a boy can dream, and a prince can tax the dreams of his peasants!

Daredevil thrills and historic aircraft
Kevin Russo, seen here flying over Reading, Pa., will perform on Aug. 20 and 21.
There's going to be so much to see at the Festival of Flight Air and Car Show at the New Garden Flying Field that you might not know what to do first.
The 45th annual show will be held Aug. 20 and 21, filling the sky with daredevil flying demonstrations, and the ground with historic aircraft displays, vintage cars, food and craft vendors, and runners who will be going where no runners have gone before – the airport runway.
The excitement begins Saturday, Aug. 20, at 9 a.m., when the gates open. There will be vintage cars on display, a variety of food and beverage vendors, and displays by local crafters. The public air show begins just before noon, with four Cessnas piloted by flyers from the New Garden Flight School. The stars include fly-overs by vintage warplanes, and feats of aerobatics by Kevin Russo, Jason Flood Pitts, Dan Marcette, Greg Shelton and others. Dan Marcette will also demonstrate his jet car at 1:00, and Greg Koontz will land a plane atop a truck speeding along the runway at 1:10 p.m. Radio-controlled planes will provide smaller scale thrills at 1:45 p.m., and the show wraps up around 3:20 p.m. with the Mid Atlantic Air Museum's restored B-25, "Briefing Time."
The plane was built at North American's Kansas City plant. It was delivered to the 489th Bomb Squadron, 57th Bomb Wing, 340th Bomb Group of the 12th Air Force, and served in the Italian campaign during World War II. The North American B-25 "Mitchell" Bomber was one of the most versatile and widely used aircraft and considered the best medium bomber of the war. More than 11,000 were produced, with a wide number of variations and armament configurations.
The same air show schedule will be repeated on Sunday at the Flying Field.
On Sunday morning, runners will gather early for the Rock N Roll the Runway 5K. A kiddie race begins at 7:45 a.m., the 5K steps off at 8 a.m., and there's a one-mile Fun Wak immediately following. The course will let participants run along the runway, then enjoy a free pancake breakfast and live music by Half Past Seven. Registration includes one free entry pass to the Festival of Flight, and the breakfast. T-shirts and breakfast are guaranteed to all pre-registered 5K and Family Fun Walk participants. Additional T-shirts and breakfast for family and friends will be available for purchase on the day of the race.
Top 5K winners will get an introductory flight, courtesy of New Garden Flight Connection. There will also be age group awards.
5K registration is $32.50 for adults ($22.50 for ages 17 and younger). Registration for the one-mile Walk the Runway is also $32.50 for adults and $22.50 for ages 17 and younger. The kiddie run is free for ages 7 and younger. Fees increase to $40 for adults and $30 for ages 17 and younger on race day. All of the proceeds benefit youth programs through the Kennett Area Park and Recreation Board and New Garden Youth Organizations.
Adult admission to the Festival of Flight is $17 for adults (free for children under 5), and $7 for ages 6 to 12, good either day. A family pass, good for two adults and two children either Saturday or Sunday, is $45.
If you're inspired to take flight yourself, helicopter rides will be available from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $35.
The New Garden Flying Field is at 1235 Newark Road in Toughkenamon. For more information, call 610-268-2619 or visit www.newgardenflyingfield.com.

Things are looking grim for the future of Digg, as AllThingsD is now reporting that the Washington Post is in the process of acquiring the site's core technology team, leaving only a skeleton crew intact. Rumors emerged earlier today suggesting that the publishing giant had plans to acquire the entirety of the company, but sources familiar with the negotiations claim that the Washington Post will use the talent acquisition to take advantage of Digg's Social Reader Facebook app. Despite losing the bulk of its technology team, Digg's remaining staff reportedly plan on attempting to find new ways to leverage the site's traffic and brand recognition.

North Dakota Zookeeper Is Raising an Orphaned Baby Kangaroo
Amanda Dukart is a new mother—but her baby is fuzzier than most infants. According to ABC News, the zookeeper and animal trainer at the Chahinkapa Zoo in Wahpeton, North Dakota, is raising a 4-month-old orphaned baby kangaroo named Barkly.
Barkly's mom unexpectedly died earlier this month—a dangerous predicament for a baby kangaroo. Since joeys only gestate in their mothers' wombs for about a month, they're underdeveloped when they're born. The tiny, hairless animals need to snuggle inside their mothers' pouches 24/7 until they're done growing. At this stage in their lives, joeys only have a 1 in 4 chance of survival.
Barkly needed a surrogate mama, but the zoo's other kangaroos had their own babies. Since zookeepers weren't sure if other marsupials could serve as surrogates, Dukart stepped in to save the day. "At 3:00 I got a call saying, 'Come down and grab your baby.' So that's when I became a mom," Dukart told The Grand Forks Herald.
For the next six months, Dukart will carry Barkly on her hip, swaddled in a pouch and sling made from soft fabric. In 10 months, Barkly will start leaving the cozy pouch, and when she reaches 18 months she'll be weaned off it entirely. Next year, she'll join the zoo's kangaroo exhibit, the Herald reports.
Until then, Dukart is having fun watching Baby Barkly grow up. "Every day is something different," she told the Herald. "And she's getting personality. It's just really fun. It's a really cool experience."

Cloves in perfumery
Cloves, a nicely spicy note
The clove is perhaps the most popular of the spices, but surely the most mysterious. In addition to the smell of the dentist, cloves are reminiscent of mulled wine, gingerbread or even a candy apple Like its spicy olfactory family, cloves present powerful and strong notes, notes of character. Cloves also have an aphrodisiac side. Spices are used in both men's and women's perfumes. We find cloves mainly in oriental fragrances and often associated with other spices such as pepper, cardamom, nutmeg and of course cinnamon. This is the case for Hugo Boss' Boss perfume, where the clove is accompanied by cinnamon in the middle notes. With a woody background,Boss is the signature of a perfume for urban men, elegant and chic men.
Cloves and other olfactory families
Cloves go particularly well with woody, floral or fruity notes. When we think of cloves, we inevitably think of the very mythical perfume Coco by Chanel. Since then, we have been able to recognize the clove in unexpected associations, as in Kenzo pour Homme by Kenzo. Here, the marine note offers intense freshness. With a spicy heart (clove and nutmeg), and a woody base (sandalwood, cedar), this masculine scent is an ode to freedom. Kenzo has also incorporated the clove in another of these compositions, for women this time with Kenzo Jungle. The clove will also be integrated into gourmet perfumes thanks to its mysterious side. However, he remains very attached to oriental perfumes.
Cloves have been known for a very long time. It is widely used for its medicinal properties, in particular by our dentists In perfumery, cloves are part of the spicy olfactory family. It is therefore integrated mainly in oriental fragrances, as a heart note. The clove has difficulty integrating into fragrances, due to its particular smell, but it sometimes creates surprises, and we can discover it in woody, aromatic, fruity or floral scents.

NAD partners with BAMSI to plant fruit trees
Photo Left to Right: Tennyson Wells, Chairman BAMSI, Minister Michael Pintard, Minister of Agriculture, Vernice Walkine, President & CEO, NAD, Carlton Bowleg, Parliamentary Secretary and Deborah Coleby, Vice President Operations, NAD
The Bahamas Agriculture and Marine Sciences Institute (BAMSI) approached the Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD) in a collaborative effort towards showcasing native fruit plants within the gardens located in the Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA). BAMSI expressed a desire to adopt a green space within these areas and plans ensued regarding the selection of plants, locations, etc. On Wednesday, August 15, 2018, a fruit plants inclusive of guava, mulberry and soursop were planted in Garden C by organizational leaders Vernice Walkine (CEO, NAD), Michael Pintard (Minster of Agriculture and Marine Resources) and Tennyson Wells (Chairman of the Board and President, BAMSI).
Aware of the impact BAMSI's partnership with NAD could have on the Institute, Minister Pintard said that the fruit trees donated today reflect the government's focus on building a food secure future and how the introduction of native plants adds value to the airport as a destination. Garden C is LPIA's most plush and vibrantly colored terrace, featuring Agave, Barbados Cherry, Ornamental Pineapple, Coconuts and Cocoplum, with the Guava and Mulberry being its newest editions. It also offers seating for travelling individuals to enjoy the greenery as well as a front row view of arriving and departing US flights. It presents an extraordinary opportunity to showcase native trees to our visitors, with LPIA facilitating approximately 3 million passengers on an annual basis , which represents an incredible market for BAMSI. This also provides us with an opportunity to introduce a younger generation of Bahamians to native plants they may not be accustomed to, as NAD hosts school tours of LPIA throughout the year.
Also in attendance were Carlton Bowleg (Parliamentary Secretary and MP for North Andros and Berry Islands) Deborah Coleby (VP of Operations, NAD), Nicole Henfield (Manager of Landside Operations, NAD) and Mechelle Sweeting (Environmental Coordinator, NAD) who were in full support of this joint initiative.
It was through the efforts Mrs. Henfield that this event was a success! Through the initial discussions with NAD's Environmental department, BAMSI, led by Executive Director Dr. Raveenia Roberts-Hanna, connected with Mrs. Henfield who worked diligently with her Landscaping Team ensuring the ideal greenspace was selected for the plants and also that all arrangements were made.
Agriculture plays a pivotal role in building bridges between communities, connecting with others and creating a beautiful environment. In the words of Tennyson Wells "BAMSI is a relatively young entity and it will benefit from a partnership with NAD". Both entities look forward to expanding the local agricultural and environmental landscape of LPIA through future joint initiatives.

Q: SSH hangs on "exec request accepted on channel 0" I have a question that appears very similar to others that have been asked but none of them have answered my problem. I'm running into an ssh error on sending a command (not loading an interactive shell).
The Scenario
My default shell at my company is csh instead of something more sane like bash. I know bash is supported since some other teammates use it as the default shell. For all of our processes, csh works fine but I would just like to use something better. I've modified my .cshrc to start up bash.
setenv SHELL /bin/bash
exec /bin/bash --login

That creates the shell just fine, sets the SHELL environment variable and starts bash on startup. The issue arises with all of the ssh (and rsh) commands that are run either through scripts or manually. I can run ssh user@host and get a shell just fine but I'm trying to run ssh -vvv user@host "echo hello"
It hangs at the end, after authenticating and sending the command, with
debug1: Sending command: echo hello
debug2: channel 0: request exec confirm 1
debug2: callback done
debug2: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768
debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 2097152
debug2: channel_input_status_confirm: type 99 id 0
debug2: exec request accepted on channel 0

What I've Tried
These changes are being tested by just sshing to the localhost to keep it simple.
.bashrc and .bash_profile changes
I've played around with so many different configurations of .bashrc and .bash_profile making sure it's not related to environment variables. That doesn't really seem to be the issue since they're all the same in bash as they are in csh (which works just fine).
Adding -t
I added the -t flag to ssh to connect but that doesn't actually run the command I tell it to run but gives me a shell to use.  It also isn't necessarily a solution in and of itself since a bunch of scripts can't be modified as they're shared by everyone.
[user@host: ~/test ] $ ssh -t user@host "echo hello"
[user@host ~]$

Sanity Testing In csh
With -t:
[user@host: ~/test ] $ ssh -t user@host "echo hello"
hello
Connection to host closed.
[user@host: ~/test ] $

Without -t:
[user@host: ~/test ] $ ssh -t user@host "echo hello"
hello
[user@host: ~/test ] $

Additional Info
IT support at my company has taken a look and just said it was a problem with my bash profile and to look at my .bashrc and .bash_profile, basically telling me to figure it out myself. I'm not saying they're wrong but I am saying I've done all the debugging I can think of, which is why I'm coming here. This also pretty much means I can't change anything on the server side and have to rely on the client/user side.
Bash is definitely loaded and not running csh with my .cshrc changes, as judged by ps:
   PID TTY          TIME CMD
  6725 pts/68   00:00:00 bash
 26391 pts/68   00:00:00 ps

Conclusion
What the heck is going on? I'm pretty confused since I don't know all that much about the inner workings of ssh and I'm even less certain why csh would behave one way and bash another. Is my bash startup funky?

A: Answering my own question but...I tried something new that seemed to work?
I ended up moving the bash startup commands (the setenv and exec) from .cshrc to .login. I have no idea why this would change things since as far as I know, csh loads both of those things the same way and one right after another. But with that, ssh now works and all my scripts I needed runs. So...if anyone else ever has an issue like this, try this simple step.

Describe a person you never met but heard a lot about him and would like to meet.
– and explain the quality of that person.
I have been influenced by people in my life. Some of them are singers, some are politicians or social media influencers, others are actors or business pioneers. But the person I really admire is India's ace shuttler, PV Sindhu. She is 23 and hails from Hyderabad. She was the first Indian woman to win an Olympic silver medal. India is a country where cricket and cricketers overpower other sports and sports personalities but when she brought laurels to the nation, she became a media sensation. She was interviewed by every news channel, magazine and newspaper. I became interested in her and started reading her interviews and watching her matches. She is called a shining star of Indian Badminton. Following her footsteps, many girls started playing badminton. I closely follow her on Instagram and other social media platforms. She has recently opened an academy to train financially backward children and help them make a future in badminton. She is also a great supporter of animal rights and therefore, she was appointed PETA's ambassador. I am very inspired by her life and the way she managed to achieve great success. I really wish to meet her one day.

Recently, in our expedition shop in Bruges, we started making chocolate, from bean to bar. Every production phase is monitored by our team. Come and watch the beans from our own plantation being roasted, peeled and elaborately crushed to become a fragrant chocolate paste that – mixed with our own vanilla and a little cane sugar – is poured into bars. Production is limited, taste and sensation quirky and meant for the real chocolate freak. Our back-tothe-roots alternative against the standardisation of industrial tastes, and we are proud of it.
Obviously we also want you to get to know the small niches of other cocoa farmers. This bean to bar production also happens in our shop, but with limited amounts of cocoa beans from little family companies we personally visited since cocoa-hopping has become an essential part of our expeditions. The harmony of subtle tastes in different kinds of beans seems endless, surely you will find one to your taste.

Stitching a printed layer adds texture, and visual interest, plus takes away the "carbon copy" feel of printed images. Adding elements such as this fringie-ish trim, and quilled flower add luxury to the project. A chain, and foam tape to pop the bird cage away from the bird give the image a more "realistic" spin. Stamped, printed, die cut, it doesn't matter...if you add embellishments to them they become your personal artwork, and not just another cookie cutter image.
Check out the metal effect I achieved by inking the cage in a metallic ink and embossing powder! I know its another one of my "more is more" cards, but when you are having fun, more IS more!!!
Don't jump ship on me just yet my friends, I promise I will be back to a regular schedule after Labor day....in fact lets do this right! I will be announcing a holiday giveaway on Friday AM !!!
I'm usually a LIM girl, but I do agree sometimes More is More...and you rocked the MIM...I gotta get out my Imagine again (it got moved AGAIN...that means re-calibrating *sigh*). Your card is such an inspiration. So pretty! Where did you get the chain?
I too need to use my Imagine more often...It always gets put on a back burner!
"How tweet it is!" as an old tv guy might have said! Love the details. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow-- I love the effect of the metallic ink and embossing powder. Great tip!
Why would anyone jump ship on you, lady!?! You're fantastic and that bird cage is unreal. amazing.
Gorgeous! I love the metal look of the birdcage, very cool.
Giveaway, and Vintage style tags!
