We recognize that our profession of Obstetrics & Gynecology was founded on the abuse of Black bodies and the government sanctioned forced sterilization of Black & Brown women. We recognize the human rights issue of our disproportionately high Black and Indigenous maternal and neonatal death rates. We recognize that we train at a Land Grant institution, on Indigenous land that was forcibly and violently taken. We recognize that the murders of George Floyd and Philando Castile at the hands of the police are not isolated incidents. We are witness to the continued injustice of racism in personal, political, professional, and institutional arenas.
We are committed to using our privilege as physicians to not only speak out as individuals but advocate for systems-level changes that will move towards real justice for the communities in which we have the honor to live and practice medicine. We are focused on creating sustainable change in ourselves, our department, our hospitals, and our communities. Our efforts include participation in protest events, lobbying policy-makers, implicit bias training, didactics on racism in medicine, voter registration campaigns, journal clubs on reproductive injustice, and community outreach efforts. We know that we are just starting a long journey to affect these changes and are prepared to be lifelong physician-advocates for reproductive justice and health equity. Our commitment to health equity is reflected in our efforts to recruit and maintain residents and faculty that better reflect our patient population.
We hope you will consider joining us.

Every year, professional decorators, interior designers, and stylists get even more creative with new trends. With the popularity of Instagram, we've started to see tons of extreme new trends in home remodeling. When we've covered kitchen remodeling in St. Louis, we've noticed that many homeowners are going bold with their style – classic ideas are even starting to feel dated. Here are some of the most extreme trends we've noticed in home decor – would you try them on your own home remodeling project?
The Pantone color of the year for 2017 was Greenery, a bright, bold yellow-green. This boldness is starting to reflect in homes around the country. Many people are now opting to paint their walls bright colors or even use wild prints as accents instead of sticking to a neutral color palette. When balanced out with more subdued elements, bright colors are an amazing way to show off your personality.
Many people believe in the metaphor that your home is your castle, but lately, some of the most stylish designers have been taking this literally in their homes. We've seen structures and decor elements that are influenced by the medieval and renaissance periods, such as wall sconces, heavy wood accents, and ornate tiling and even skylights. This style works best in homes that have lots of space to really pull it off.
With the popularity of Scandinavian style, which focuses on comfort in a very modern, minimalist way, many people are starting to add comfortable elements to all of their spaces. In particular, we're starting to see sofas in every room, including kitchens and bedrooms, as well as soft textures throughout the entire house. Furniture is designed with lounging in mind, and everything is meant to promote easy conversation.
Keeping plants inside has long been an easy way to bring some life to your space, but many people are now opting to take this trend to the next level with hanging plants and even indoor kitchen gardens. This focus on greenery not only makes the house feel more lively, but it also is good for your environment and makes the space fresher. No matter where you live, you can incorporate indoor plants into your space – you just need to find out what kind of plants work in your area.
While this trend has been big for a while, it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Exposed brick, edison bulbs, subway tiles, and unfinished metal are all showing up in some of the most stylish houses in the world. While this look is definitely over-the-top, it really works for spaces like lofts apartments. To make industrial style work in your space, be sure to add a few comfortable seating options as well as some hanging art to make the room feel livable. You'll also want to make sure that your windows let in enough light that the space doesn't feel cave-like.
Nautical decor has always been popular for beach houses, but we're now starting to see this trend creep into some truly unexpected places. Nautical elements such as ships, waves, shells, and more are motifs on wallpaper, furniture, and artwork, and red, white, and blue color schemes are popular as well, particularly in the kitchen. This style also works very well for children's rooms because it's fun and gender neutral. To make it work in your home, ground it with some more sophisticated pieces.
Murals have become popular tourist attractions in many major cities, and many creative homeowners are now incorporating them into their own spaces by putting a mural on the outside of their house. This is a fun way to show off your personality and let the outside world know that you don't take things too seriously. Just be sure to check with your HOA before you start painting!

Gardner played better against ND than he did against CMU, and he did it in the face of greatly increased pressure.
I also think Borges finally came through with a good gameplan that put DG in some situations where he could excel.
I tend to think Borges was unfairly criticized last season. He pretty much had to run the offense around Denard and his limitations. When he went down he had a first year QB. And the OL had some pretty weak links. This is the first season he's had to go through two camps preparing for the kind of offense he wants to run.
I agree. Problem was that Denard can't throw a lick so you had to use his running ability to it's fullest extent. The optimal arrangement, which finally occurred, was to have Gardner at QB and DR as slash back. But I don't see how you tell DR....hey bud you can't cut it at QB so we're replacing you and you get to be slash back. DR didn't improve from his best year as sophomore where he worked out of the spread and did fairly well throwing the ball. But Hoke and Co. wisely didn't attempt to mimic RichRod's scheme....especially since they didn't believe in it.
Rees made a lot of unforced misses, M will need better pressure to beat a better passer. But the mark of good college coaching is improvement through the season and I think Hoke is a good coach with a good staff.
But that's exactly who Rees is. Give him enough rope, he will hang himself with it. The coaches knew this, and IMO, their gameplan was keep everything in front of you and make him throw the ball 50 times and he will make mistakes. For the majority of the game, the M defense didn't blitz and the safeties played 15-20 yards off the line. They were not going to get beat over the top. With a more accurate passer, I believe they will bring more pressure from many different looks.
Rees is a decent college quarterback, and probably the best one they will see until November, at the earliest. Even then, you are looking at unnamed msu QB, Simeon/colter, Martinez, and miller. Nine of those guys are accomplished passers.
This is a down year for quarterbacks in the big ten.
I think the game plan worked out just fine, and it also helped that we never trailed or needed to make something happen, so to speak.
UM played six in the box. The problem with the Irish is they didn't run more.... the yards were there for the taking. UM interior line couldn't do squat against ND. Instead he threw a bunch of short passes that netted them a lot of yards but over 50 attempts. And he was inaccurate often. Compared to Gardner who was surgical. How many times was Gallon wearing an ND defender? This would have been a loss with DR at the helm. Just defend the run which ND proved they could do.
This was a feel good win, if there ever was one. Tempered only by a couple of really bad plays by Gardner, and maybe a little by the Dline's non-existance.
Devin Gardner is infinitely better at QB than Denard Robinson. By "infinitely" I mean "infinity times infinity plus one".
Listening to a ND fan complain about the Michigan stadium noise. I said, "yeah, its a huge advantage, in life you always want to have a huge advantage when you do something."
Was thinking maybe the PSU kid could catch lightning in a bottle, but otherwise I was going to say the same thing: Rees is probably the best "passer" they'll see all year. Maybe Simeon's better. Maybe.
Reading some of Hoke's and Mattison's transcripts, taking away the big passes to the WRs was definitely the plan. They seemed willing to allow the hitch to stop the deep fades, and they seemed *mildly* ok with the DL not going all-out after Rees in order to not have to commit an extra to stop the run. I also think they felt Rees and Kelly were excellent on the quick throws on pressure so they didn't want (or need as you said) pursue that questionable risk-reward strategy.
That said, I don't think anybody was thrilled with the pass rush on obvious passing downs. But, ND has a very good OL.


The Military Mutual was set up to do the right thing, which means offering the military family great products and service, always dealing with claims fairly and going the extra mile. In particular we seek to support Military Service Funds, Regimental Associations, military museums and military veteran-owned businesses.
Our Business Cover is flexible and we work hard to ensure we can meet a wide range of needs, some of which may well be non-standard for many insurers. There are no broker commissions with us and, as a Mutual, we don't have shareholder pressures to make profits. That means we can offer very competitive pricing whilst still making sure we settle agreed claims in the right way for our Members.
The Military Mutual Commercial Combined offering is supported by highly skilled commercial underwriters with vast knowledge in the commercial sector. Our underwriters have first-hand experience in developing protection programmes that include high value property and liability risks with the City of London Livery Companies, Heritage Collectables, outdoor and activity centres such as parachute clubs, security firms, and fire authorities. So, whatever the risk, it's worth getting in touch as we can usually help.
We were created by military people to support the military family in its broadest sense. So we're particularly keen to help military veterans and organisations that provide support to the military family or protect our military heritage.
As a Mutual we're owned by our Members. Because we don't have shareholders who expect to be paid dividends, any future surpluses can be used to re-invest in products and services and support the wider military community.
When you take out cover with us, you automatically become a Member of The Military Mutual, which means you can have a say in how the business is run, if you want to. Any surplus funds we generate in the future can be used to benefit our Members and support a range of military causes. So switch to us today, and not only do you get bespoke cover, you could also help us support our armed forces.
We understand that every business is unique and appreciate how much time and pressure is involved when it comes to managing your business. We also appreciate that running an organisation that supports the military family is every bit as tough and working within tight financial constraints is the norm.
So why not give us a call so we can design a product solution that meets your needs, could save you money and takes away some of the worry for you?
The contributions from our Members are used to pay claims and to cover operating expenses. Any surplus beyond these needs belongs to our Members and can only be used for the benefit of our Members or as agreed by our Members.
The Military Mutual offers cover on a discretionary basis to its Members which means the Board can, at its discretion, settle claims outside the normal terms and conditions if they feel that Members would support this.
In addition to the discretionary protection, we also arrange insurance contracts with Builders Direct S.A., a European company authorised to operate in the UK and rated A- (Excellent) by A.M. Best for its financial strength. The purpose of this insurance protection is to provide you with contractual insurance rights alongside your discretionary cover. Members of The Military Mutual therefore have two layers of protection within their cover for increased security and peace of mind. For cover incepted or renewed prior to 1st February 2019 this extra insurance protection was provided on an individual basis. For cover incepted or renewed after 1st February 2019 this protection is provided via a Group Insurance Policy, details of this protection is provided in the link below.
What is Commercial Combined Cover?
Commercial Combined Cover protects businesses against potential losses through unforeseen circumstances like theft, property damage and business interruption, and liability to the public or injured employees.
The kind of cover you need will depend on the nature of the business.
Do I need Commercial Combined Cover?
Regardless of what your organisation does, every business in the UK that employs one member of staff or more is required by law to have employers' liability insurance in place, and having public liability in place is also sensible.
Every business is different and the type of cover required largely depends on what type of business you operate, how large it is and what sort of assets you need to protect. Why not give us a call to discuss your needs further on 0330 202 0913.
Is The Military Mutual able to offer the kind of cover I need?
The Military Mutual Commercial Combined offering is supported by highly skilled commercial underwriters with vast experience that includes high value property and liability risks with City of London Livery Companies, Heritage Collectables, outbound and activity centres such as parachute clubs, security firms, fire authorities, and retail premises. So, whatever the risk it's worth getting in touch as we can usually help.


PrimaPorcelain tiles are the perfect flooring solution for practically any indoor space. They're available in a fantastic range of colours and textures, and they're very easy to keep clean. Our porcelain floor tiles are suitable for kitchens and most other internal rooms.
No matter what sort of look you have planned for your next interior design project, we can provide the perfect tiles for the job. Choose from stone-like slabs, marbled designs, wood-look products, and a wide range of other styles both contemporary and classical.
Our porcelain tiles are manufactured to the very highest standard. Each one is rectified to ensure that all tiles are the same size, and that all angles are exactly 90 degrees.
Porcelain floor tiles have a naturally low porosity, minimising the risk of staining and water damage. Most spills can be wiped clean with ease, and that's just one of the reasons why our tiles are such an appealing choice for the home.
Most of our internal tiles measure 10mm thick, and they can all be installed with ease using a suitable adhesive.
Every PrimaPorcelain product is given a 'Grip Factor' rating out of 5 to indicate how slip-resistant they are. All of our indoor tiles offer sufficient grip for the majority of indoor spaces. To minimise the risk of slips and falls, we recommend selecting a product with Grip Factor 3 if the tiles will be placed in a high-moisture area like the bathroom.
Some of our products offer a high level of colour consistency, meaning that each tile will have more or less the same colour/pattern as its neighbours. On the other hand, we also stock a number of products with high shade variation ratings – ideal if you want your floor to encompass a wide variety of different hues and tones.
The texture of our porcelain floor tiles varies somewhat between one product and the next. Some PrimaPorcelain tiles have a smooth finish, while others have a fine texture that provides extra grip and makes the surface of the tile feel more organic. Both are fine choices – it's up to you to choose which you'd prefer!


Choosing an organization is one of the most important steps when fostering. A well established, reputable rescue organization will have the funds to pay veterinary bills, volunteers to assist in transport, the ability to properly screen adoption applications, and to handle any issues that arise during your time as foster home.
Transparency & accessible information: A reputable rescue organization will be transparent. They will openly disclose the amount of funds raised and how those funds are used. They will share the stories of how pigs were rescued, where they came from, how they are adjusting in the rescue, when they are placed for adoption, and with photos throughout the process. They allow visitors or show pictures of the living quarters of the pigs, which should be spacious, clean, and enriching. They will answer all questions asked, including how many pigs they rescue per year, how many pigs they adopt out each year, their procedures for spays and neuters, how they determine which pigs will join their rescue, what criteria they screen adoptive homes for, if pigs are euthanized & the reason, if pigs are unadoptable & the reason, the routine medical care each pig gets, how many pigs are cared for on site, the contact information for their veterinarian(s), as well as any other relevant questions.
Does the organization have a screening process for volunteers and foster homes? If they do not screen you, they are not screening other families. You cannot expect every adoption applicant to be honest and forthright. There will invariably be homes that would be detrimental to the pig's welfare. If screening is not done to filter through these homes, then pigs are not ensured a life of happiness and comfort after adoption. Are you comfortable assisting in a rescue effort without assurance the pig will be well cared for long term? Typical screening procedures include an application, a phone interview, references from friends and veterinarians, and a home visit.
Does the organization require signed contracts to secure fosters and adoptions? These contacts protect the pigs. They often outline the care that is expected for the pig's welfare as well as a return policy — requiring the family to return the pig to the rescue if they are no longer able to keep him. This keeps the pigs out of shelters, prevents abandonment or negligence, and keeps them from being sold on Craigslist or rehomed without proper screening. If the organization does not require signed contracts they have no legal ground to protect the pigs they rescued. Read all available contracts thoroughly even if they are not applicable at this time. Common contracts are for volunteers, fosters, and adopters. Read and understand all details. Ensure you agree with the expectations, requirements and procedures. Each organization will operate differently. You'll want to find one that has similar goals and ideals to your own.
The majority of pigs rescued should be available for adoption. The rescue should put great effort into promoting these adoptable pigs and seeking proper homes for adoption. All pigs should be spayed or neutered before adoption. They should go to their new family with a signed adoption contract that includes a return policy requiring the family to return the pig to the rescue if they are no longer able to keep him. The pigs should be medically cleared by a veterinarian. All adopters should be thoroughly screened prior to placement.
Not all rescues are 501c3 nonprofit. There are some great rescues that are registered through their state as not for profit, rather than the federal designation of 501c3. However, there is considerable cost and time involved in acquiring 501c3 status. Rescue organizations that have achieved this goal have shown strength, organization, responsible practices, perseverance, teamwork, and resourcefulness. A 501c3 organization will have a board of directors that oversee the organization's activities and budget. They will typically have outlined operating procedures to guide you in your fostering endeavors. All donations to a 501c3 organization are tax deductible. This includes direct donations, donations of time, mileage on your vehicle, gas expenses, supplies for your foster, food, fencing, toys, pig housing, bedding, hay, cleaning supplies, crates, and any other out of pocket expenses. Many volunteers have fostered for individuals or small rescues that have struggled or refused to reimburse for medical or other expenses as promised. Often, the foster home has no recourse for non payment. Fostering for a reputable 501c3 organization will give you peace of mind that your donations are being used appropriately and that the foster pig's bills will be paid promptly.
Check the organization's website or ask how long they have been in operation. A newer rescue will invariably have a learning curve. You may want to be part of an up and coming organization and watch it grow. On the other hand, you may be looking for a more established rescue that has ironed out any conflict or discrepancies while providing excellent protection and assurances for the rescued pigs.
A reputable rescue organization will focus on education and outreach. They will offer this as direct support to adopters to ensure long term success of pigs in their homes. They will also emphasize education and outreach to the general public. Rescue organizations are overburdened by abandoned and neglected pigs. They want all the pigs in their community to succeed in their homes. They want owners to be educated and have the support they need to keep their pig happy and healthy. Through education and outreach they can prevent the need for many rescues and rehomes.
In the world of rescue, reputations are invaluable. Ask around. Ask friends, ask strangers, ask in Facebook groups. Ask for personal experiences with a particular rescue before deciding where you will dedicate your time. Particularly, you'll want to ensure they are following laws, following good animal welfare practices, treating their volunteers with respect, following through on commitments, adoptions have gone smooth, and have a good reputation overall.
Beyond their overall reputation, a responsible rescue organization is built by a number of dedicated volunteers. These volunteers are the heart of rescue and should be treated with the respect and appreciation they deserve. Reputable rescue organizations will have clear guidelines of what is expected of the volunteers as well as the support and assistance available to them. Volunteers & adopters should be proud to be associated with this organization, posting photos and stories on the rescue's social media pages.
As with any screening process, when you are screening rescue organizations to adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate to, focus on getting as much information as possible for an overall picture. Use your best judgement and do not hesitate to keep looking. There are many rescue organizations and they are not created equally. By supporting a less than ethical or less than responsible rescue organization you are furthering the substandard care of the pigs in their rescue and allowing them to take on more innocent animals. When it comes to rescuing, do not compromise ethics, morals, or care standards. No matter how dire or desperate the situation, these animals deserve the same level of care and treatment that our own pets receive. If an organization or rescue is not able to provide that level of care, then they should focus on the pigs already in their hands. Overburdened rescues and hoarders/collectors are no friend to a pig in need. Together, with a responsible rescue organization, you can make a difference!


Mother Nature has a cruel sense of humour.
Gone are the double-digit temperatures and sunshine that recently packed patios and brought hordes of people to parks across London.
The spring weather was replaced with sub-zero temperatures, rain and even snow flurries Wednesday.
And if that wasn't bad enough, forecasters are calling for a similar mixed bag of weather Thursday.
"It's almost like the weather doesn't make up its mind what it wants to do," Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips said Wednesday.
But late April snow isn't as uncommon as one may think, said Phillips, explaining that London has seen plenty of years when snow is recorded in April and even May.
"This time of the year it's more of a psychological downer," he said.
So what's to blame for the misery?
A low-pressure system hovering over Ontario known as a "cold low," Phillips said.
Though Thursday may set a record for the lowest April 23 daytime high in London, there's no need to put the snow tires back on.
The unseasonably chilly temperatures will be gone by the weekend when double-digit highs and sunshine are forecast to return.

Don't you have the feeling sometimes that all the fun stuff happens after you leave a party? I swear, my timing is off.
I lived in Madison, Wisconsin for five years. It was peaceful and tranquil – but once I leave? All hell broke loose!
First, the election of Scott Walker and the subsequent political controversy shakes Madison to its core and brings thousands of people to the Capitol grounds for months. I'm not sure it that was really "fun," but it was certainly eventful.
More recently, there's been a spirited debate happening about the pros and cons of life in Madison.
The catalyst was an article in a newly launched magazine (with a primary focus on Minneapolis and the surrounding region). Writer Frank Bures, a Madison expat, wrote an article for the magazine Thirty Two, about Professor Richard Florida's ideas about the "creative class" and how that new cultural class is reshaping our economy and our cities.
Before I go any farther, let me be clear about a few things: Madison is an acquired taste, and I definitely acquired it in my time there. There is much I like about the city. The people can be ridiculously kind and polite to each other. Clerks in the grocery stores and shops were so warm and friendly I was half-convinced they were flirting with me. The outdoor spaces in the area are magnificent.
Professor Florida included Madison in his list of creative class strongholds. And that's what much of Bures' article is about – that while conceptually Madison should have had a vibrant economic and artistic culture, attracting new people and new energy, the reality of Madison was quite different.
A new flow of students and newly elected politicians may bring energy to the polar ends of State Street, but much of the rest of Madison is a very traditional town and a very insular one. Many of the people I worked with had grown up in and around Madison, attended high school and college there, met and married their spouses there, and were raising children there – and so had their parents and grandparents. Those are great things, but substantially different than what Bures expected – and what I'd expected, too.
How insular of a town? Hell, I'm a self-confessed introvert and I had connections to almost everyone mentioned in Bures' article. Including Bures himself.
I was in a class Bures taught about how to market your freelance work. (It was part of the University of Wisconsin's continuing education class offerings and ran for two weeks.)
One of the first people I ever interviewed as a freelance writer in Madison? Penelope Trunk. I talked to her by phone on an article about Madison. My editor killed her comments as she was, at that time, a contributing writer to a competitor's site. She was a memorable interview.
I'd even – for a whole two seconds – met Jamie Peck, the former UW professor mentioned in the article. (A friend of mine was a professor as well and had a neighboring office in the science hall.)
Look to the left of this post – see the blogroll? You'll see two names – Bures and Trunk – that have been part of this blogroll pretty much since I launched this back in 2009 (though I haven't spoken with or corresponded with either in years).
One of the best things about Madison – the Farmer's Market
Those are not unusual connections in Madison. It's a tightly knit community and that's true for all professions.
All the artists and writers know each other. Before a lot of outside money and outside influence came into Wisconsin politics, those folks also had known each other for years.
I never felt unwelcome in Madison, but I was also never part of the inner circle, and never spoke the shorthand that everyone already knew. And that does make a difference. It made it very challenging to make friends. Bures' descriptions of some of the people he met in Madison are very accurate.
Madison claims to appreciate diversity on paper, but in many cases it's less a true appreciation of differences and more of a celebration (but not necessarily acceptance) of eccentricity. There are many colorful street people and musicians in Madison and people acknowledge them – but they're not quite welcoming them into their homes, or breaking bread with, say, the Piccolo Man.
And for a town that celebrates diversity on paper, it's unwelcoming to many African-Americans; I've seen the body language of people on State Street when an African-American is present and it speaks volumes. The segregation in Madison is just as vivid as it is in Chicago.
One of the biggest challenges for me when I lived there was that Madison was not a very fun place to be single. As a member of the LGBT community, it was even more challenging, but the reasons that Madison's single scene was such an uphill battle are pretty universal – the dating pool is remarkably small and many good candidates in any age range are usually married and raising a family. Those strong family ties also meant that many people are caring for – and living with – their parents, which doesn't always make for a positive in the dating world!
Bures makes a number of points in his essay (worth a read at the link above) but in essence, he says Florida's theory about cause and effect of the creative class being the economic engine of any city (including Madison) just isn't so.
I'm just starting to explore urban studies as a field, so I can't speak to theory with any authority. And I found a great deal of thought provoking content when I read Professor Florida's book Rise of the Creative Class several years ago. I look forward to exploring these ideas much more in my studies this years. (NOTE: Florida responded to this article in an in-depth letter, which prompted a counter response by Bures.)
Yeah…I don't quite get it, either.
There's a whole other realm of discussion about Madison in the context of urban studies – and I could fill a whole separate blog post with that debate.
There's much to discuss about Madison's growing suburban sprawl, as well as the lack of sensible public transit options and the utter failure that happened when previous attempts were made to have a discussion about those options.
Transit planning isn't happening when a major artery in and out of the city still has an active and busy rail crossing running on it, blocking traffic for up to a half an hour some mornings. (They've redone and rebuilt the road a number of times but apparently never thought to put a bridge or tunnel on the road or the tracks so that the east side didn't come to a complete halt.)
And while the height limit for buildings close to the Capitol is appreciated to maintain a view of the Square, density is desperately needed, particularly as the east side of Madison starts to evolve.
But I will say that I believe Bures' essay is spot on in many ways. One of his more stinging comments is that Madison is a "giant suburb with a university in the middle." I'd say that Madison's biggest strength is State Street, bordered by Capitol Square to the east and the university to the west.
Both the university and the state jobs bring in college-educated workers, many with PhD's, and an economic engine that attracts new infusions of capital – monetary capital and human capital – all the time. The influx of students and their energy and enthusiasm in pursuing a degree and a profession add fuel to that formula. Much of the rest of Madison is, in many ways, a cluster of suburbs sprouting up around the isthmus.
The reaction to Bures' essay has been mixed. I never saw it as an indictment of Madison as a place or of its people – more as a critique of Florida's theory vs. the reality of the city – but nonetheless some Madisonians are taking it personally.
When I first read the response of Brennan Nardi, an editor at Madison Magazine, I felt that her narrative came across as patronizing, and her knee-jerk response was utterly predictable, topped off by the dismissive comment, "Unless you are extraordinary, you have to actively pursue the good life, not passively expect it to find you." Thanks, Mom!
But Nardi makes some solid points in her rebuttal, and the main one is one that has been overlooked by just about everyone: Madison isn't that flush economically. It's still a mid-sized town in a state that, like every other state, is facing budget shortfalls. Madison is an affordable place, but many of the best neighborhoods to live in thrive on their offbeat charm and old housing stock. Fresh financial investment is more rare than people think in Madison.
Overestimating the wealth, the need and the growth potential of Madison is a pitfall that the city's fallen into twice now, with the building of Monona Terrace and the Overture Center. They're great buildings in great spaces, but questions exist about their sustainability and whether Madison will ever have enough need to fill the cavernous space of those halls – or enough business to sustain them for the long run.
And the local job market can, at times, be as tranquil and sedate as the city itself. Nardi notes (correctly) that many in cultural fields can max out on opportunities or salary. Jobs are just not that plentiful in Madison, for any industry. State jobs and university jobs are rare and it's a super-competitive process to land one. And if a professor is hired at UW, their spouse has to find a job in Madison too, and so on.
Madison is an interesting, unique space, and I still cherish my time living there. But it's not Nirvana. Then again, there are pros and cons about every city I've ever lived in. Textbook theory may be a useful tool, but in the end you have to dig deeper to find out what place works for you.
EDITED TO ADD: Bures wrote another related essay here. To me, this relates in many ways to much of what I've posted about recently, including the career and job searching posts I've written and the recent debate about the value of music and downloading, and how musicians make a sustainable living. There's a definite change and evolution happening in how we look at where we live and how we make a living.

Манак (; VII век) — настоятель монастыря Святая Глава, святой Католической церкви, память 14 октября.

Св. Манак, настоятель монастыря Святая Глава (Holyhead, Caer Gybi) отошёл ко Господу, вероятно, в Корнуолле. Его имя ассоциируют со св.  (память 8 ноября). Манаккан Минстер неподалёку от Фалмута по преданию назван в его честь. Первое упоминание о св. Манаке появляется в хартии короля Эдгара. Там Лесманок называют «Местом монахов». С другой стороны, на корневильском Манах означает монах.

В поле у Трегонвелла (Tregonwell) имеются остатки старой часовни, помеченные на военно-геодезической карте. Они могут быть и остатками кельи отшельника, принесшего Благую Весть в эти места. Быть может, этот монах, имя которого неизвестно, и является св. покровителем .

Science Astronomy Eruption on Jupiter's moon Europa modeled by Researchers
Eruption on Jupiter's moon Europa modeled by Researchers
Science behind Eruption
Astrobiologists on Earth are raising questions on Jupiter's icy moon Europa due to the powerful eruptions that may spew into space. The main question of concerns being that what will come out of the blast out from miles-high plumes or they hold signs of extraterrestrial life or what will be the location in Europa of origination. The expectations of origination are such that according to a new explanation pointing to a source closer to the frozen surface.
According to new evidence from researchers at Stanford University, the University of Arizona, the University of Texas, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory stating that some eruptions may originate from water pockets embedded in the icy shell itself rather than originating from deep within Europa's oceans.
The researchers developed a model using images collected by the NASA spacecraft Galileo that explains how a combination of freezing and pressurization could lead to a burst of water or cryovolcanic eruption. The results have implications for the habitability of Europa's underlying ocean which were published Nov. 10 in Geophysical Research Letters and it is expected that it may explain eruptions on other icy bodies in the solar system.
Jupiter Moon- Europa
LIFE: Present or Not?
Elements necessary to support life could be hidden in the vast ocean beneath Europa's icy crust according to the speculations of scientists but short of sending a submersible to the moon to reconnoiter, it's hard to know for sure. This has become a hot topic as if the reason behind eruptions are from the subsurface ocean, then NASA's upcoming Europa Clipper mission spacecraft could more easily detect elements.
They may somehow turn the tables if the plumes originate in the moon's icy shell resulting in less hospitable to life because it is harder to sustain the chemical energy to facilitate life there. So still a diminishing chance of detecting habitability from space remains the same.
Gregor Steinbrügge, a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford's School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences (Stanford Earth), who is also the lead author said that recognizing where these water plumes are arising from is very principal for knowing whether future Europa explorers could have a venture to detect life from space without probing Europa's ocean.
An 18-mile-wide crater on Europa, known as Manannán, was the prime focus of analysis which originated by an impact with another celestial object some tens of millions of years ago. They made a model out of this huge amount of heat that must have been generated out of the collisions that resulted in melting and subsequent freezing of a water pocket within the icy shell could have resulted in the water to flare up.
Manannán
Don Blankenship who is the co-author, also a senior research scientist at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) said that the asteroid or comet hitting the ice shell was a big experiment which we're using to construct theory to test. The team of polar and planetary sciences is focused on evaluating the ability of this instrument to test those theories at UTIG.
Europa's water transformed into ice during the later stages of the impact as per the model with pockets of water with increased salinity could be generated on the moon's surface. These salty water pockets can become even saltier in the process of where they migrate sideways through Europa's ice shell by melting adjoining regions of less brackish ice.
Steinbrügge said that the team developed an important way that a water pocket can move laterally and not only in the down direction as pulled by gravity moving from cold to warm along thermal gradients.
Water is Salty
When the center of Manannán crater is approached by a migrating brine pocket, the model predicted that it became stuck and began freezing, spawning pressure that eventually resulted in a plume that was reckoned up to a mile high. A spider-shaped feature on Europa's surface was observed by Galileo imaging due to the eruption of this plume leaving a distinguishing mark that was incorporated in the researchers' model.
Joana Voigt, a graduate research assistant at the University of Arizona, Tucson said that Europa's ice shell itself is very dynamic as direct insight into Europa's ocean could not be provided by plumes generated by brine pocket migration.
The impact craters could not explain the source of others as the size of the plume can't be a deciding factor but the process modeled for the Manannán eruption could occur on other icy bodies and even without an impact event. Voigt said that brine pocket migration is not distinctively applicable to Europa's craters instead the mechanism might supply clarifications on other icy bodies where thermal gradients exist.
The saltiness of Europa's frozen surface and ocean estimates is also provided in the study which in turn could influence the transparency of its ice shell to radar waves. The oceans of Europa could be one-fifth as salty as Earth's ocean as per the calculations that will ameliorate the capacity for the Europa Clipper mission's radar sounder to gather data from its interior.
The connection between the plumes and the Europa's ocean is discouraging astrobiologists hoping Europa's erupting plumes might contain clues about the internal ocean's scope to support life. Europa's complex surface features are entangled by the new model by offering insights toward hydrological processes, the pull of Jupiter's gravity, and hidden tectonic forces within the icy moon.
Dustin Schroeder, an assistant professor of geophysics at Stanford thinks that the shallow subsurface, the ice shell itself, is an exciting place to explore the new way of thinking about its water near the surface.
