Both my girls are big on coloring. To prevent breakage we usually try to buy the crayola twistable crayons. They work great for Kiki but they are long and skinny and hard for my toddler to hold.
We've been looking for good thick, sturdy crayons for awhile, but haven't really been able to find anything. So when Gaddy Nipper Crayons contacted me about including them in my Holiday Gift Guide, I was super excited. If they were as fun as they looked, it would be the perfect gift for little kids.
We got the Lego Maniac Lovers set for boys and girls to review.
Each gaddy nipper crayon is made from recycled crayola crayons, so you are sure to get only the best quality. The lego crayons are thick and sturdy, and they color extremely well.
During the entire coloring session, my girls didn't even break one crayon!
The lego crayons can also be used for more than coloring. They are not actually legos, so the pieces don't interlock, but they are great for stacking.
And if your little one is not into legos, they have so much more to choose from. There are cupcakes and letters, choo choo trains, ladybugs. and even Elmo. They even have a crayon of the month club so your little one can receive a new style every month.
To Buy It - Gaddy Nipper Crayons would be a great gift for any child in your life. And the crayons range from $2.50 on up, so it's a great gift on any budget.
To Win It - Gaddy Nipper Crayons is giving away a $10 gift certificate to one of you.

Rogers: Bitcoin Cash
What is Bitcoin Cash?
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is one of many forks of Bitcoin (BTC). There is nothing particularly special about it but most of it's code changes are largely regarded as unnecessary or badly thought through.
Transaction fees?
"BCashers" often claim Bcash has low transaction fees, but this is because they measure transaction fees in dollars. If BCash's price was equal to that of Bitcoin (BTC), its fees would actually be higher. Most recently Bitcoin (BTC) actually had lower transaction fees relative to its value.
Which is the real Bitcoin?
The Fake Roger claims that BCash is the real Bitcoin, an entirely false argument based on nothing. It is just one of many forks of Bitcoin supported by BCashers, if it had won the vote leading up to it's fork, it would be known as "Bitcoin (BTC)". It lost the vote 90-10. The 10% votes are almost entirely owned by the company "Bitmain".
A well crafted scam
BCash has been carefully crafted from the ground up to appeal to cryptocurrency newcomers that don't really understand what Bitcoin is or what makes it the biggest Cryptocurrency.
BCashers chose to add the word "Cash" to Bitcoin specifically just to keep quoting the original Bitcoin (BTC) whitepaper and claim it is "Satoshi's vision".
So what is Core?
The Fake Roger also started a marketing push to add "Core" to Bitcoin (BTC), again quite a clever scamming move because it's easy to convince people for these reasons:
BTC has a "C" as the third letter, easy to convince newcomers that the "C" stands for Core
The official wallet/node software for Bitcoin (BTC) is called "Bitcoin Core", it's very easy to use malicious SEO practices and social manipulation to convince newcomers that "Core" is the name of the currency because of this.
Most Bitcoin (BTC) developers work on Bitcoin Core, so it's easy for BCashers to spread misinformation that there are "Core Devs" that work on this "old project" called "Bitcoin Core".
The Fake Roger owns the website "Bitcoin.com" and the Twitter handle "@Bitcoin", and uses well crafted misinformation to call Bitcoin (BTC) "Bitcoin Core" on every page of this website and most tweets. Until recently the website even called BCash "Bitcoin" and Bitcoin (BTC) "Bitcoin Core"
Most newcomers don't know that "Core" is a common programming term to describe the software engine which runs something. "Bitcoin Core" is simply the open source software which enables the use of the "Bitcoin (BTC)" currency/network. It is supported by the "Bitcoin (BTC)" community minus "BCashers".
The Original Chain
BCashers claim [1] "Bitcoin Cash kept the original chain running, making it the real bitcoin." and that "Bitcoin (BTC) is a fork and Bitcoin Cash is the original blockchain" because "Bitcoin is a fork, with the network considerably changing in a fundamental level after segwit's activation".
If this were true then "Bitcoin Cash" code would not have changed since Bitcoin Core 0.1. In fact, based on this argument, BCash should be called "Bitcoin Core (BCH)" and Bitcoin would be called "Bitcoin (BTC)". But this is not the case, as BCash forked from the "Bitcoin Core" software code at 0.15[2], and is completely different from Bitcoin Core 0.1.
So what really happened?
BCash (Bitcoin Cash BCH) is just one of many forks of Bitcoin (BTC), supported by a small group in the community that disagrees with the majority.[3][4] The real reasons for it's chain split are not publicised to the community.
Bitmain would have to upgrade their miners as "ASICBOOST" is not compatible with Segwit. ASICBOOST is a way of exploiting an old bug in "SHA-256" [5] that was fixed in Bitcoin Core 0.15.
Bitmain are a greedy company, instead of upgrading their miners, they decided to keep all of these and roll their own cryptocurrency.[6] They do mine Bitcoin (BTC) too, just on brand new miners.
BCash propaganda
Bitcoin Core Software v0.15
Bitcoin Cash is not Bitcoin
That's not Bitcoin, that's BCash
What is ASICBOOST
Why Bitmain Blocked Segwit

Edible Landscapes: What should we grow in 2014?
It may be chilly, but 'tis the season for garden planning. Did you know that everyone on campus is encouraged to harvest from the edible landscapes near Ylvisaker and Valders? These gardens provide a nice place to go for a morning or afternoon snack, lunchtime salad or supplies for weekend cooking projects. This year Grounds and Sustainability are inviting members of the Luther community to provide feedback as to what you'd like to see grown in the Valders and Ylvisaker gardens during the 2014 growing season. Share your thoughts through a brief online survey.
Flexible spending claims
Flexible spending account dollars deducted from employee paychecks during 2013 may be used for eligible expenses through March 15, 2014. Claims for these dollars must be submitted to Midwest Group Benefits by March 31, 2014. Claim forms are available in human resources and on the hr website: http://www.luther.edu/hr/common-forms/. Select "Flexible Benefit Claim Form." Mail the form to Midwest Group Benefits, PO Box 408, Decorah, IA 52101, or fax to (563) 382-9613.
Midwest Group Benefits holiday hours
Midwest Group Benefits was closed for Christmas, therefore flex checks are being processed Thursday, Dec. 26 with direct deposit Friday, Dec. 27. They will be closed from noon on Tuesday, Dec. 31 thru Wednesday, Jan. 1 for the New Year's holiday. Flex checks will be processed on Thursday, Jan. 2, with direct deposit on Friday, Jan. 3.
Claims should be at MGB by 5 p.m. on the Monday of each week.
Residence halls, including Farwell Hall, closed for holiday break
The residence halls are closed for break. This means the Farwell Hall elevator will not be available for faculty/staff to use until Saturday, Jan. 4. Faculty and staff who normally use the Farwell elevator should plan ahead concerning other parking options on campus.
Public reading of a Letter from Birmingham Jail
Luther students, faculty and staff are invited to join in reading Dr. Martin Luther King's Jr.'s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." One mass rehearsal for readers will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 9, in the CFA on the Luther campus; pizza will be served. Those interested in being involved in the event should email Lauren Kientz Anderson at <andela10>. Watch for more information to come on the scheduled readings.
Farewell party for Rachel Vagts
The Luther community is invited to join in celebrating Rachel Vagts' 15 years at Luther and wishing her well on her new position at Berea College in Berea, Ky. The farewell party is from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 2, in Peace Dining Room. Light refreshments and beverages will be served and a short program will begin at 3 p.m. Contact Sasha Griffin <grifsa01> or Sarah Wicks <swicks> with any questions.
27 biweekly paychecks in 2013
Because the biweekly pay date for the pay period ending Dec. 20 would have fallen on Jan. 1, a bank holiday, that payroll will be paid on Dec. 31. This will have two consequences. First, this will be the 27th pay check in 2013 and will show up on employees' 2013 W-2 instead of their 2014 W-2. There will still be 26 paychecks in 2014. Second, this will be the third payroll in December, so flex and health deductions will not come out of this paycheck. To make changes to the Dec. 31 payroll, for instance, to your SRA contributions or W-4s, submit forms to the payroll office as soon as possible, but no later than Dec. 18. Forms are available at http://www.luther.edu/hr/common-forms/ or in Human Resources.
Sign up for W-2's online
All students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to sign up to receive electronic W-2's using my.luther.edu. The W-2 Electronic Consent option is included in the employee profile section of my.luther.edu. If you chose the electronic option for your 2012 W-2, then you do not need to do it again for 2013. More detailed instructions and additional information can be found by clicking the W-2 Options link on the HR website http://www.luther.edu/hr/common-forms/ Mac users: please do not use the "Preview" application to view your W-2. Remember, the electronic option is the sustainable option.
H drive changes coming in December
For improved data security, on Thursday, Dec. 26, LIS is limiting off-campus access to information on H drives—space for storing electronic files on Luther's servers. For more information, visit H drive Changes Coming.
Google Calendar for facilities scheduling
The AdAstra room scheduling system is being replaced by a Google Calendar in early January. LIS has been working with Campus Programming and the Registrar's office to create special facilities scheduling functionality in Google Calendar. Susan Peterson is meeting with schedulers in small groups to talk about the transition, demonstrate Google calendar if needed, and discuss the transition schedule. Please contact Susan if you use information in AdAstra and have not been contacted.
Chapel this week
No chapel during break.
Todd Pedlar, with two colleagues, co-authored a review article "Recent Results in Bottomonium" that was published in the 2013 volume of the Annual Reviews of Nuclear and Particle Science. Among the experimental results discussed in the article are those obtained by Pedlar and Luther students working as part of the CLEO and Belle collaborations.

I have been wanting to stop in for quite a while and always had some reason that I couldn't (sleeping or cranky baby being the usual issue). My mom, daughter, cousin and I finally had a chance to come in for lunch yesterday and we WILL be back! We all had the delicious sandwich of the day (veggie, with hummous and herbed cream cheese) and had a lovely time. Thanks!
What could be better than having friends with a wonderful bakery!
Great to see the website.
I'll be back soon for my baguettes and scones.
I can't wait to get back to Bailey's Cafe! After a day of exceptional meals there I usually bring back an armful of goodies.
Absolutely worth the trip. We'll be back!
Happy to see your beautiful website. It is nice to know your cafe and hope to revisit it again.
I have enjoyed Jayne's cooking over the years and I'm thrilled she now has a cafe where others can enjoy her food.

Hallelujah, You are everything. Thank You. You've met our needs. You are our all and all, King of kings, Lord of lords, Healer, Provider and Waymaker. Where there was no way, You make a way. We lift up Your name, magnify that name that is above all names; trust You and yield ourselves to You. We are hungry for more. Holy Spirit of the Living God, third person of the Trinity, we welcome Your presence today, a refreshing touch from heaven by Your Spirit right now. We can't make it happen but we expect it to happen. It's You, It's all about You. It's Your will, it's Your plan. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. One touch changes everything: one second, one minute, one hour, one day. You are changing things. Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You.
How do we please God? By faith. Is fear faith? No, it's the opposite. A few years ago Pastor Mac had a bad report and he testified to the church that he realized when he was in the middle of it, he had fear. He feared what's going to happen if it doesn't work. What if I am not healed? And he recognized that he wasn't in total faith about it. But the people in the church here, other's too I am sure, where lifting it up and lifting him up. We can do that for others, Amen. Wherever there is a lack, by the power of the Holy Spirit within each one of us, we can fill in that lack and be in unity and in one accord, hallelujah.
It's not that we are trying to get Him to do something He hasn't done. We know that it was already done, finished, as it was declared on the Cross at Calvary, "finished." The blood was shed and the blood is working for us now, today. We've overcome. We continually overcome. We keep persisting, we keep requiring, and the door will be opened.
(tongues) So, in these days it seems like the Devil and many times is more persistent than the Church. Bu the Church is standing on ground that cannot be taken away, ground that is strong ground based on My Word. So, as My Church continually stands their ground on My ground, on My Word, and continually contends persistently, the Devil will be seen to take a run, will leave the situation because he'll realize that we realize that we're more persistent than he is and he has been defeated!" Hallelujah. He cannot pull the rug from under us but we've been given the authority to pull it out from under him in Jesus' name. And that's in the name of Jesus! It's not another. It's not how loud we can scream or how much we can squirm. But it's by faith, believing in our hearts, our hearts. Oh, Father, thank You.
(tongues) Weeds, for weeds can grow very quickly and weeds in our heart or heart of hearts must be rooted out. And where that old, old, old, old man tries to enter back, we use the blood and we declare "You can't come back!" You cannot come back for I am a new man and the blood is working on my behalf – did it, is doing it, and will do it! Hallelujah, thank You for it Father. Okay, we reclaim some things that have been lost in Jesus' name. We reclaim them! For we have the code and it's 777! The code, the blood, the power of the name and we have entered on into the new and we'll not remain anonymous any longer! For we are members of the body of Christ! Where Jesus overcame, we overcome.
An end of some things and the beginning of the new! Stop in your maneuvers whatever they are in Jesus' name. Like a bubble, we enter on into it and we contend with the covering of the blood. No weapon! NO weapon formed against us can prosper in Jesus' name! Never! Never! Not ever! Not now, not in the days to come, no, not ever in Jesus' name.
Change! Thank You, Father. I feel like the enemy in some ways in trying to do like an end run, trying to get around in some way. No, no, we have eyes that can see all around us and we see the enemy when he tries to enter in in another way and we recognize it and put a stop to it in Jesus' name. So, all around us we see the blood covering. All around us we see the presence and the light and the glory of God Almighty. For He, for You are our help in every day, every season, in every way, spirit, soul, body in Jesus' name.
Body, body, the bodies… I see new strength, I see a new rising up, I see a new contending, I see a new persistence in the body of Christ, calling the things that are not as though they were, not just doing it one time and thinking, "we shook that away" but continually persisting and calling those things that are not as though they were! And as though they were! And as though they were! And they WILL BE if we are persistent in what we say and what we see! For what we see sometimes will cause us to say things. Sometimes what we see is not the way God sees it. So, we must continually call on His name, plead the blood, stand on the Word, and see what He see so we'll say what He says about you and about me. Thank You Father. Thank You Lord. Gory! Glory! Glory, hallelujah! For the Lord is good! And His mercies endure forever, forever, forever! Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
So, we will not shut up! And we'll not sit down! We will not lay down and we will not walk around with a long frown! But we will turn that thing upside down into a smile in us. Not just a joke or something but that joy inside knowing that You have already completed it. It's already been done. It has already been finished and the battle was won! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Hallelujah! We take hold of it, hold fast to it, we'll not let go of it in Jesus' name.
Answers, help, solutions, changes, a turn of events, a change of time sort of… Thank You, Lord, we'll take our seat in heavenly places this morning. We take it, we take that seat in heavenly places, high above and look down and say "Look what the Lord hath done!" Glory! Thank You! Hallelujah! Glory to God! Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Father.
Sometimes doors are open, sometimes the doors have already been open and we walk right by. Sometimes doors of opportunity and opportunities that have been sent from heaven are opened for us to walk through but our eyes are looking on the… maybe we've been over in that place of frustration which is an absence of faith and we don't see the door and we don't enter on in. We've been knocking and the doors been opened but we have not gone through. Today, we take our place, we see what You see, we'll say what You say, we'll say what You said, and we'll be persistent about it! Calling! Calling! Calling! Calling! Calling! Calling! 911 situations TURNAROUND! Change NOW! We persist about it! We will not be satisfied with status quo! NO! (tongues) We shake out of that! We shake out of that! We shake away from it! We'll not look at that! We don't see that! We don't know about that! But we persist to see what You see Lord! What You said Father! What You told us to do Lord! Hallelujah! Glory to God! Thank You Father! We roll off every care. Cares, cares, see it go! Watch it go! Watch it leave. We pack it up, put it as if we placed it in FEDEX in Jesus' name and we sent it to Siberia or wherever! Out! We sent it back to hell where it came from! We let it go! We command it to go! We command it to leave! 911 Go in Jesus name!
7.) "Ask, and the gift is yours.
The gift of the blood, the gift of the power of the Holy Spirit, the gift that is needed right now to turn that 911 situation around, gone!
Doors, ways out, ways through, ways beyond where we've ever been… Oh, we see it Lord, we take hold of it, it's beautiful, it's precious, it's healing, it's a restoration, it's a total (wheew!)… Days of heaven on earth, the peace of God that passes all understanding, the beauty of it, the wonderful full color beautiful pictures, beautiful scenes of health and wealth.
Dollars are beginning to multiply, it's a multiplication. It was like it was a certain amount but there is a multiplication factor many times greater, up and above and beyond what it was before. It is a miracle. It is a sign and it is a wonder where the world will wonder what happened. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory, Glory! Glory! What about the bodies? What about that? Change, change, change, change… Heaven on earth, what does that look like? Healthy, prosperous, pain free, some will say it's shocking! I never knew it. I never heard it. I never saw it. But today, we speak it, we say it, we see it, we command it, we apply the blood over it for suddenlies have come to town. They have come into this place, sudden changes.
We pray the peace of God that passes all understanding. We pray for that delivery, that it will be so free and so in a place of victory that it will be received! And more will receive it and our country, our nation will continually move God's way. That's what we want Lord. We're not trying to make this all one side or the other side. We want Your side, Your plan, Your will for America. So, we pray for utterance in Jesus' name. We pray over every word. That people will see, people hear, people will know. Thank You, Father, for it. We hold this country up, we lift it before You, Father God. We pray over all of our leaders, positions of authority. For some we want to say "Grow up!" You know, start working for the people, start representing the people that you represent, start calling for his nation to be what this nation was meant to be. We call for it. We pray over it. We declare it. We believe it to be so. Thank You for it.
Today, today where we need to be, suddenly we will be there. If we have to be translated, so be it. We will be where we need to be at the right time. For time, time, time, time, time is moving quickly and we take the time and watch over the minutes, the hours that we have been given. We thank You that we overcome every minute of every day because of the precious Holy blood. We thank You for it, call this day blessed, and supernatural with signs and wonders, miracles, all kinds of happenings, good things in Jesus' name. Everybody said Amen.


Renewable energy has posed problems and solutions for interior designers for decades now.
Issues of space, aesthetics and cost have often been contested by the appeal of future-proofing and sustainability, but how can the modernised energy-saving approach of utilising solar panels strike a satisfactory balance with both the beauty and practicality of creating a functional living space?
Solar panels may traditionally take an external form, but their influence can certainly be felt in interiors. By embracing the technology, homeowners are not only able to allow much more natural light into the house, but their heating and cooling systems are generally more effective, air is purer, and this doesn't even take into account how much lower energy bills will be.
But buildings powered by solar energy can be much less effective on inner-city properties. The UN estimated back in 2016 that nearly 55% of the world's population were housed in cities, and with countless high-rise structures and smog, there are significant challenges for bringing solar power into the home due to obstructions.
This is a sizeable problem for interior designers keen to maximise natural light. How can one utilise natural light sources when doing so is a challenge in itself?
While this is a problem that varies from case-to-case, one increasingly popular solution is through placing solar panels in alternative areas than on the property's roof.
Wall-mounted panels are an excellent solution for buildings that are blocked out of sunlight for long periods of the daytime. They can also potentially be exciting from an interior design perspective, with some panels taking the form of Venetian-style blinds while others are built to look like translucent boards of colour that can tint natural light coming into the building.
Wall mounted panels are also highly practical for far northern and southern hemisphere locations. For example, homes in New York can expect to gather more energy on average from wall-mounted panels than its roof-based counterparts due to the lower position of the sun throughout the day.
The scalability and adaptability of panels in populous areas can pave the way for great creative solutions for designers looking to maximise the potential of their interiors through renewable energy.
A key problem for both architects and designers is how to make solar panels beautiful – and it's often not an easy task.
There's no getting away from how much of an eyesore solar panels can be if they're installed onto a contrasting backdrop. This is particularly pertinent if the home has red-brick roofs.
This doesn't necessarily have to be the case, and more bespoke solutions are available that have the power to heavily influence design both inside and outside of a home.
Both Forward Labs and Tesla have been at pains to make solar panelling pretty, and their bespoke solutions involve embedding the renewable sources into environmentally an environmentally friendly roof. Both company's solar roof constructs make the tops of their homes appear to belong, with contrasting light and dark designs that are complemented by a similar interior theme.
When it comes to energy saving in this day and age, there are more discreet, more decorative options than ever before. The Technical Research Centre of Finland, for example, has developed organic solar panels that are customisable and lightweight enough to be placed just about anywhere discreetly – whether that may be on windows, walls, machines or billboards.
One example of these organic solar panels takes the form of a leaf, and there's even scope for graphics to be printed on one side of the device to maximise its visual appeal.
To maximise the long-term savings of solar power, it's useful for homeowners to equip their property with a sun-powered water heater.
This poses more issues for interior designers who may need to accommodate the larger water tanks and meters to ensure that the alternative energy system is running smoothly.
The extra machinery may lead to the compromising of space to work with, and both devices will need to be placed with good accessibility for regular check-ups.
Once again, this enables interior designers to think creatively about their use of space and the ability to place sustainable technology in a position that allows homeowners to give it the attention it needs while avoiding the prospect of diminishing the beauty of a room.

Science as Revolution: From Cottonopolis to Graphene City
Manchester is the city where Marx met Engels and Rolls met Royce. ESOF 2016 will be a meeting of some of the world's greatest minds, from scientific thinkers to innovators and scholars. Explore the programme below or download our mini programme for an overview of ESOF 2016.
Download the science programme (4.5 MiB)
CONFERENCE THEMES
Modern science was born in the turmoil of the Renaissance and has produced a succession of revolutions in the ways we understand and shape our world. In 2016 the major event of European science comes to Manchester, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, a city whose ideas have always challenged the established order. Our motto 'Science as Revolution' is an invitation for breakthrough ideas which could continue those revolutions to be shared and challenged!
There are nine core themes running through the Science Programme, spanning particle physics to pandemics, antimicrobial resistance to artificial intelligence and the Anthropocene epoch. The nine themes are:
Healthy populations
Medicine is becoming increasingly targeted, moving away from 'one-size-fits-all' to a stratified approach taking account of personal features, health data and new biomarkers, and extending to a personalised approach focused on patients and their history. We also face great challenges in fighting epidemics in the developing world caused by emerging pathogens such as the Ebola virus, and the broader issue of combating antibiotic resistance. Proactive approaches to health in lifestyle and sport form a further sub-theme – prevention is better than cure. This theme also encompasses the biomedical and socio-cultural challenges of mental health.
The programme will explore personalised medicine, child well-being, microbiomes, humanitarian medicine, eHealth and data issues and antimicrobial resistance.
Powered by Wakelet
Material dimensions
Manchester, the home of graphene, opened up a global explosion of interest in two-dimensional materials, with new potential applications being suggested every day. Relatively recently, reports on the properties of single atom transistors have set researchers looking for other one-dimensional devices. Three dimensions are represented by more conventional materials revolutionised by technology for 3D printing of complex shapes, such as skeletons for the creation of artificial replacement organs, limited only by the imagination of the engineer.
The programme will explore the applications of Graphene and other 2-D materials, structural materials, nanomaterials and nanofabrication, functional materials, quantum and statistical physics, substitution of critical materials and biomaterials.
Sustaining the environment
Concerns for the environment permeate almost all aspects of life. There is increasing understanding of environmental systems, their measurement and the ways in which science and technology could help to mitigate or adapt to environmental change. What environmental utopias and dystopias, past and present, contribute to our attitudes towards sustainability? The role of arts, humanities and social sciences in understanding, or changing, human behaviour will be of particular interest.
The programme will explore climate change, public communication, sustainable resources, resilience, marine heritage, strategic resources, biodiversity and ecosystems, physics and chemistry of the environment, clean technologies, environmental protection and monitoring, planetary boundaries and the Anthropocene epoch.
Turing's legacy - data and the human brain
As major projects address the nature of the human brain and our ability to simulate it, we ask where is this taking us? In the world of big data, what is the significance of the new analytics for scientific and citizen activities? What ethical, social and legal challenges are raised? This theme will encompass Alan Turing's direct legacy of artificial intelligence and the interface of humans with machines, and the wider issues posed by data, online information exchange and communication in our society.
The programme will explore artificial intelligence, big data and behavioural analytics, mapping the brain, privacy, security, ethics and integrity, the human-computer interface, the future internet and the Internet of Things.
Far frontiers
The excitement generated when science probes the most remote and hostile environments or embarks upon the most fundamental questions is a major factor in attracting the interest of the public, particularly younger generations. Europe's Rosetta mission is the latest source of inspiration. This theme will take us to the physical and intellectual frontiers of knowledge.
The programme will explore exoplanets and astrobiology, dark matter, next generation particle physics, oceans science, astrophysics, next generation astronomy, extreme environments, weather and the atmosphere, space matters, geo-engineering and high resolution microscopy.
The way we live has changed drastically. Over half of the global population live in urban environments, while the nature of rural regions has also been transformed. Migration patterns also change the nature of societies. Global networks of communication generate new means of understanding and misunderstanding. Security is challenging governments around the word in the face of terrorism and crime. This theme will explore the implications for governance, systems, equality and more broadly how people live now and will live in the future.
The programme will explore city-regions and autonomy, governability of cities, liveability and lifestyle, security, transport, poverty and inequality, energy and utilities, robotics and assisted living, online communication and interaction, urbanisation and rural pressures.
Bio-revolution
Growing populations, degradation of agricultural land and the need for sustainable sources of carbon-based products are some of the factors which demand a bio-revolution. Challenges run from field to fork and from land to the factory. Ethical and safety concerns feature prominently in public debate, stressing the need for responsible approaches.
The programme will explore food security and bio-economy, industrial biotechnology, agriculture and healthy nutrition, reducing, refining and replacing animal-based foods, GM challenge and opportunity (e.g. metagenomics), patents of biological or genetic material, synthetic biology, biofilms and supply/value chains.
Science for policy and policy for science
What are the conditions for revolution in and through science? ESOF 2016 will bring together many of the thought leaders in science policy for Europe and beyond, providing the opportunity to debate how we should structure, finance, manage, regulate and deliver science and innovation. This theme will focus on the role of science in wider policymaking and original perspectives on issues such as the mechanisms and ethics of advice or give a forum to those engaged in them at all levels.
The programme will explore responsible research and innovation, science and the economy, science, finance and austerity; Inequality and scientific diversity, research infrastructure, innovation policies, foresight in science, evaluation and peer review, science advice, regulation and integrity in science scientific activism, scientific publishing, open science and scientific education.
Science in our cultures
Science is pervasive in our cultures and in the digital world we inhabit. In this theme we explore the energy it creates at its interfaces with the worlds of arts, leisure and the media. Sessions will illustrate these combinations, and demonstrate their significance.
The programme will explore science and its connections in the media, social media, art, cultural heritage, history, democracy, comedy and music and also include science writing and communication, technology and culture (e.g. participatory science), and pedagogy of science.

Moonshine Glow: See Pluto's Moon Charon as a Crescent in NASA Photo
This image by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft shows the night side of Pluto's biggest moon, Charon, against a star field, lit by faint reflected light from Pluto itself. The bright crescent on Charon's right side is a sliver of sunlit terrain; it is overexposed. New Horizons was about 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers) beyond Pluto when it took the image on July 15, 2015.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft keeps showing us things we've never seen before.
The probe's latest jaw-dropping photo is simultaneously familiar and exotic: Pluto's largest moon, Charon, in crescent phase. Sunlight shines on a sliver of Charon, while the bulk of the moon's night side is lit faintly by reflected "Plutoshine," NASA officials said.
Though NASA released the photo Thursday (Jan. 19), New Horizons snapped it on July 15, 2015, just after the spacecraft's epic close flyby of Pluto. The probe was about 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers) from the dwarf planet when it took the picture with its Ralph/Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera, NASA officials said. (New Horizons got as close as 7,800 miles, or 12,550 km, to Pluto's surface on July 14, 2015.) [Check out more amazing Pluto photos]
Pluto has five moons. Charon is by far the largest; with a diameter of 750 miles (1,200 km), the satellite is more than half as wide as Pluto itself. (Technically, Pluto and Charon constitute a binary system, because the two bodies' center of mass lies outside Pluto.)
Also on Thursday, NASA released a global color map of Pluto made using three images captured by the Ralph camera during New Horizons' flyby.
"The mosaic shows how Pluto's large-scale color patterns extend beyond the hemisphere facing New Horizons at closest approach, which were imaged at the highest resolution," NASA officials wrote in an image description Thursday.
This new, detailed global color map of Pluto is based on a series of three color filter images obtained by the Ralph/Multispectral Visual Imaging Camera aboard New Horizons during the NASA spacecraft's close flyby of Pluto in July 2015.

Though the Pluto flyby occurred 18 months ago, New Horizons' work is far from done. The spacecraft is currently zooming toward a Jan. 1, 2019, close encounter with another frigid, distant body: a small object known as 2014 MU69, which lies about 1 billion miles (1.6 billion km) beyond Pluto's orbit.
At the moment, New Horizons is about 3.6 billion miles (5.8 billion km) from Earth, and about 410 million miles (660 million km) beyond Pluto, according to the mission's position tracker.

Minerals are chemical compositions while rocks are mixtures of different minerals. For example mineral olivine consists of magnesium ( #Mg# ) and (or) iron ( #Fe# ) atoms and one orthosilicate group ( #SiO_4# ). It has its unique chemical and physical properties. But with the other minerals it can compose the rocks. Peridotite is an igneous rock which is consists mostly of olivine and some pyroxene (another mineral which has its own chemical composition different from olivine). Well- known basalt (igneous rock) as well as peridotite contains some olivine but much less. Basalt also consists of amphibole, pyroxene, plagioclase and feldspar.

Tribune acquires video search site; Comcast cuts lobbying spending
by Jim Barthold |
@FierceCable RT @xconomy Tribune Media Services--the guys who sell TV and movie information for media guides--has acquired four-year-old video search site CastTV. The acquisition, Tribune said, will give its customers, including the likes of Google (Nasdaq: GOOG), Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC-WI), "access to all the metadata necessary to create entertainment-discovery guides that direct consumers to programs available on linear, on-demand and online video platforms." Story | Follow @FierceCable
> Either Comcast feels it's spent enough trying to buy support for its NBC Universal merger or it's just getting tired of paying lobbyists. Whatever the case, the Philadelphians reportedly spent only $1.86 million lobbying the federal government in the third quarter compared with $3.06 million during the same period last year. Story.
> The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League and National Action Network endorsed the Comcast-NBCU union after the soon-to-be-wedded pair made a number of increased diversity promises. Story.
> Cox Communications has launched a trial of TV Everywhere with Turner Broadcasting System's TNT and TBS channels. Story.
> DirecTV (Nasdaq: DTV) is putting up some medium-sized bucks ($10 million or so) to deliver addressable advertising to individual homes with DVRs, starting with a test in 2011 to about 10 million DVRs with 25 top-rated cable networks. Story.
> EarthLink (Nasdaq: ELNK) (remember them?) is spending $370 million to acquire One Communications to extend its IP infrastructure business throughout the Northeast, Midwest and Mid Atlantic regions. Story.
And finally ... here's a bit of homework that might help the FCC might as it considers national broadband, net neutrality or whatever it's up to tomorrow. The initial estimates are in and Australia will need $40.9 billion to fund its National Broadband Network. Story.

Q: GAE Python - How to set a cron job to launch a backend task I'm running a daily reporting task on GAE which since recently is using too much memory to finish. Therefore I'd like to set it as a backend task. I've set the backend as following:
backends:
- name: reporting
  class: B4_1G
  options: dynamic
  start: reporting.app

In reporting.py there are a number of classes which are defined, which call different reports. My cron.yaml currently looks like this:
cron:
- description: update report 1
  url: /reports/report1
  schedule: every day 03:00
- description: update report 2
  url: /reports/report2
  schedule: every day 03:30

However logically this just calls the job on the frontend instance, through the app.yaml which currently looks like this:
application: appname
version: 1
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

handlers:
- url: /(robots\.txt)
  static_files: \1
  upload: (robots\.txt)
- url: /favicon\.ico
  static_files: favicon.ico
  upload: favicon\.ico
- url: /sitemap\.xml
  static_files: sitemap.xml
  upload: sitemap\.xml
- url: /images
  static_dir: images
- url: /js
  static_dir: js
- url: /css
  static_dir: css
- url: /reports/.*
  script: reporting.app
  login: admin

What would I have to change to call these jobs on a backend instance on a daily basis?

A: Depends if you want a persistent or dynamic backend
For a dynamic one
The plan is:

*

*A cron fires at specific time.

*Adds a task on a queue that will start the backend

*The backend starts
Example:
app.yaml:
- url: /crons/startgooglepluscrawler/
  script: crons.startgooglepluscrawler.app
  login: admin

backends.yaml:
backends:
- name: google-plus-crawler
  class: B2
  start: backends.googlepluscrawler.app
  options: dynamic, failfast
  instances: 1

crons.yaml:
cron:
- description: get daily google plus user followers and followings
  url: /crons/startgooglepluscrawler/
  schedule: every day 09:00

queue.yaml:
total_storage_limit: 10M
queue:
- name: google-plus-daily-crawling
  rate: 1/s
  retry_parameters:
    task_retry_limit: 0
    task_age_limit: 1s

On the startgooglepluscrawler.app you need to start the backend with a taskqueue:
class StartGooglePlusCrawlerHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):

    def get(self):
        logging.info("Running daily Cron")
        taskqueue.add(queue_name = "google-plus-daily-crawling",
                    url="/_ah/start",
                    method='GET',
                    target=(None if self.is_dev_server() else 'google-plus-crawler'),
                    headers={"X-AppEngine-FailFast":"true"}
                    )
        logging.info("Daily Cron finished")

    def is_dev_server(self):
        return os.environ['SERVER_SOFTWARE'].startswith('Dev')

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([
        ("/crons/startgooglepluscrawler/",StartGooglePlusCrawlerHandler)

    ],debug=True)

And at the backends/googlepluscrawler.py just normally like an app, and a handler to /_ah/start:
app = webapp2.WSGIApplication(
            [('/_ah/start', StartHandler)],
            debug=True,
            config=config.config)

The above example will fire up the backend instance.

A: An easier way to do this is by migrating the app to modules. Explained here: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/modules/
After doing so, you can just add following line in the cron.yaml:
target: yourmodule

This allows the cron job to run on the instance defined in yourmodule.yaml

Q: Create Unsigned Long Long from NSString
Possible Duplicate:
Storing and retrieving unsigned long long value to/from NSString

I am trying to create a unsigned long long from a string so I can use the value in elsewhere but not having much luck doing so...Here is what I am using to attempt this
-(void)unsignedLongValue{

NSString *theString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%llu", [NSNumber
unsignedLongLongValue]];

theString = [[_message objectForKey:@"user"] objectForKey:@"id"];

NSLog(@"%llu");

}

If you have any suggestions or know of any good articles I would be very much appreciative if you could inform me! thanks!

A: You probably want to do this,
NSString * theString = [[[_message objectForKey:@"user"] objectForKey:@"id"];

NSNumberFormatter * numberFormatter = [[[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
NSNumber * number = [numberFormatter numberFromString:theString];

NSLog(@"%llu", [number unsignedLongLongValue]);

A: The line
NSLog(@"%llu");

does nothing. You need to tell the log what to print, not just what type it is. Use this instead:
NSLog(@"%llu",numberToPrint);

Also, you re-write theString immediately after defining it, so the initial value from
NSString *theString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%llu", [NSNumber unsignedLongLongValue]];

is never used.


Jackson is synonymous with high-performance guitar design and the progenitor of musical speed machines. Conceived as a launching platform for technically advanced guitar playing, the SLATTXMG3-6 Soloist is rife with sophisticated ergonomic design, ultra-fast playability and monstrous tone.
Dual graphite reinforcement rods run the length of the three-piece maple neck with speed profile to fortify it against the extremes of nature, buttressing it against warping. A speedy 12-16 compound radius fingerboard creates the ideal playing surface for fat riffs and easy chording near the black plastic nut while gradually flattening in the upper registers for lightning-quick solos and wide bends without fear of fretting out.
A pair of EMG active humbucking pickupsan 85 neck pickup and 81 bridge pickupgenerate versatile, huge and high output tones for brutal distortion and clear, crisp cleans. The TonePros TP6 adjustable strings-thru-body bridge produces massive sustain, and when combined with the Jackson-branded tuning machines, rock-solid tuning stability along with precise intonation.
Classic Jackson appointments include the instantly recognizable piranha inlays, stable Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons, black hardware, single-ply neck binding and the Soloists ergonomically arched top for playing blazing licks with comfort. Sleek, refined, and dangerous, the SLATTXMG3-6 Soloist is art brought to life, tempered with high-tech performance for the ultimate metal machine.

Just as an unedited email or fast tweet might came back to bite you today, letters in the nineteenth century (snail mail) could be documents of dread for the writer. Famously protective of her sister, Cassandra Austen burned all of Jane Austen's correspondence after her death, spinning her own legacy for future Janeites, without contradictory proof available in writing. In Gill Hornby's Miss Austen, the author offers a fictional spin on how those letters might have changed future generations' perspective on a beloved author.
Cleverly combining well known facts of Jane Austen's life with imagined secrets and opinions conveyed through private letters, the author offers an undocumented but very possible view of Jane Austen's personal life. Alternating between Cassandra and Jane's lives as young adults, secure in the family parsonage, and their later trials after their father dies, as unmarried women dependent on their brothers' goodwill to house and support them, Hornby reveals women's dependence on marriage to sustain them in that era. Jane, of course, became the exception, bringing in her own income as a writer and dying in her forties, but what fears and insecurities really haunted her?
Cassandra lost her opportunity for the good life when her fiancée Tom Fowles died before they could be married. Unlike her sister, she lives on into her sixties and in this story, she is visiting Tom's family, in search of Jane's old letters. She knows the letters reveal private details of both their lives as well as her sister's moodiness; she remembers how scathingly critical of others Jane could be. In the wrong hands, Cassandra is convinced the letters will change the legacy of Jane Austen, and not for the better. Eventually, she finds the letters tied in blue ribbon. As Cassandra rereads the letters, she relives past moments of both their lives, wondering if she made the right choices, and finally revealing Jane behind the public facade.
The imagined lives are entertaining and charming, and Horby writes in the Jane Austen style of Regency era literary England, carefully giving the dialogue intelligence as well as wit. Fans of Jane Austen novels will appreciate the slow-moving narrative, with references to her novels as she wrote them.
Austen's Persuasion has a special place in Hornby's story, motivating me to reread this tale of renewed love after all seemed lost. In Miss Austen, Isabella finally finds happiness with a Doctor, only after her father, who thought him socially inferior, dies. Isabella is the niece of Cassandra's late fiancé Tom Fowle. Isabella's brother, a local clergyman has recently died, and she has to vacate the home she shared with him. Suddenly, Isabella seems without prospects or a place to live, and the correspondence hidden away for years will be unearthed with packing for the move out of the parsonage. Cassandra is visiting supposedly to help with the packing, but her real motivation is to find those letters. All ends well with Isabella marrying her secret love, and Cassandra finding the letters.
If rereading Jane Austen's novels gives you some comfort these days, you might try Gill Hornby's Miss Austen. The story can gently carry you back to Jane Austen's time with a realistic twist and a few bon mots to sustain you.
And if you cannot get enough of speculating about Jane Austen, try:
The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen
Old Friends and New Fancies
Jane Austen's Emma
Everybody's Jane

Customer of mine has this product. It will not restore her files back to her new computer at all. The program crashes and/or it does nothing. There is no way to download the folders to a zipped file to her computer. You go on Norton Backup site and that has an old backup, you go to mynorton site and that as the old one plus more recent ones but still no way to get them to download from a browser. I am a Norton's partner and have been one for many years, but I have to say this has to be the worst product they have and they need to stick to what they do best .... virus protection. I refuse to sale this to people. Also, trying to get in touch to a support person is impossible.
Is there a way to FTP the files to a computer as going through their interface is one big cluster.
Hello Quick-Tech. Have you had your customer follow these guidelines?
After checking that Fast Startup is disabled as suggested by SoulAsylum, if things are still causing trouble, more information may help us help her. It might also help us if she could post directly to this thread, as it is more difficult when going through a third party.
Does your customer see any error messages when Norton crashes/freezes?
Have they set up backup on the new computer before trying to restore?
Well, she is definitely not going to post anything..lol.
She even had someone from symantec do it for her (she is elderly), and she said it took a long time but the folders were empty.
Even when I tried it numerous times it put the main folders but no files. Tried again nothing ...tried a few other times and the program shut down or no files or did nothing. It should not be this difficult to transfer files. I would just FTP them but I have found anything that says this can be done. As I said before they really need to stick to what they do best as there are way better products out there that are waaaay better than this.
When logged into the MyNorton Account web site, and clicking on the Backup tab at the top, when you click on a backup set, do you see the files there? If so, there is a slow and painful way to download the files one at a time. Clicking on a file will bring up a download link. I have not found a way to restore the whole backup from that page.
Another place to check, is after the backup feature has been activated in 360, go to Windows Explorer and click on This PC in the left pane. You should see a Norton Backup drive listed. You need to be logged into a Windows Admin account to see this. Double click on that to see any backup sets associated with the Norton Account. Again, check to see if you see the files and folders listed. If you do, you should be able to right click on the backup set and choose restore.
I would be there for days and days or even a week.
I tried with the Norton Backup as a drive .... it didn't work.
I understand. That is why I said it would be slow and painful.
Were you able to find the Backup drive in Explorer? If so, were the backup sets listed, and any files found?
All: The key to getting the backup to the new computer is that the new computer MUST be added to the Norton account. The backups can then be downloaded to it from that point going forward.
I went through the program again and it starts then disappears which means it crashed. So I go into event viewer since I do not get an error from the program itself.
Just had a thought. You say it is a new computer for the customer. Was there any trial security software included on that computer? If so, you need to fully remove that software with the removal utility for that software.
This could be causing the issues with 360 crashing.
Hello Peter, what I should have said was it's a fresh installation of win 7, which shouldn't be a problem.
The new build for the NspEng.dll was the problem and an old engine was used and it is working. Once it's complete then the new build needs to go in the engine folder and replace the old one dll.
Good find. Thanks for posting back.
Did you have to reinstall Norton to get the right file?
The new 360 had to be uninstalled and deleted completely (every instance of it throughout the computer), then an older version installed. Once it was complete I did the liveupdates and installed the patches. As I will not have my client use this program again for backup I turned it off. I a partner, but I refuse to have my clients go through that and I will find them a "better" program to use for backup.
Is there another version of Norton to use that works? Any suggestions?
Look back on your computer to see if you can find an old 360 installer that you may have downloaded in the past.
Was a fresh install of Windows and Norton so no previous version of Norton around. But thanks for replying.
what version of the installer is it?


As the year comes to a close, it's a good time to reflect on the President's time in office. The left continues to attack Trump. They invent rumors and downplay his achievements. But the facts don't lie.
It's been a historic year for the United States. Time after time President Trump has made good on his promises. Perhaps the most telling proof is the state of the economy.
Liberals might try to lie, but numbers don't. And the numbers coming out for November are simply staggering.
According to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, President Trump added a projected 1.9 million jobs in the first eleven months of the year (January through November 2017) and 2.2 million jobs since last year's election.
Also according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the US unemployment rate this year has been below January's rate every month (January through September 2017.) The unemployment rate in January 2017 was 4.8 percent and by November it was down to 4.1 percent. These are the lowest rates in 17 years.
Much of this is the result of confidence in our leader. Trump has cut massive regulation, making it easier for businesses to thrive. He has brought back many jobs to the country. And now he has a tax reform bill on the way.
Border Patrol has curtailed plenty of illegal immigration. That has created a need for skilled, American workers. States have slashed entitlement programs, urging more to find jobs. Consumers are spending more, confident that good days are ahead. All of this due to Trump's influence.
The left is going to continue to attack him. They will point to their made-up Russia story. They will distort rumors and spin it as fact. They will ignore these reports, or claim it had nothing to do with Trump.
But we know better. And we are making sure people know the truth. Be sure to spread this good news to everyone you know.


Inspired by the game Dead By Daylight.
Also, if anyone is interested in having a print of this, tell me in the comments or by email or note. It might be a little late for Halloween, but I could arrange a print of this I think.
Oooo-tay! Really well drawn, Robin. Excellent moon-lighting effect, and I love the background tree foliage. Kaya's double set of ears is a funny and effective look. Even her billowing hair helps the scarey effect at night. Is the heart mark on the mask from the game or just Kaya's idea?
It's nice to see Cleo fitting in and having actual -fun- with her new friends!
I just now noticed she has a spiky baseball bat carried in her tail.
Beware with this , Kaya : it's not a toy . Better users than you have finished to the hospital ………….
Shouldn't there be four hiders though?

Alachua deputies seek information on cold case
Skeleton found under tree in 1979
By Stacey Readout - Executive producer of digital strategy
Posted: 2:37 PM, February 12, 2016
ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. - The Alachua County Sheriff's Office is seeking information on a 37-year-old cold case.
A small rope with a noose on it was found adjacent to the remains.
The remains appeared to have been there for 6-12 months.
The remains belong to a white male in his early to mid-30s. He was wearing brown lace-up shoes, brown pants, light-colored short sleeve shirt and a light blue windbreaker jacket.
Dr. William Maples, author of "Dead Men Do Tell Tales," conducted an analysis of the skeleton.
He determined the man was just under 5'6" with a muscular build, light complexion and blonde or reddish hair.
If you have any information on this case or any other cold case, please contact Detective Kevin Allen at 352-384-3323.

Alachua John Doe has been identified as 35-year-old Ralph Tufano of New York.
https://www.wuft.org/news/2022/11/02/43-year-old-high-springs-cold-case-reopened-after-body-is-identified/
43-year-old High Springs cold case reopened after body is identified
By Ivey Young
Although investigators finally have a name to go with the remains of a man found more than 40 years ago, they have plenty of questions about how Ralph Tufano's body ended up in the woods near High Springs.
In the winter of 1979, James Prince, a Florida Division of Forestry employee, found a skeleton off County Road 236 in High Springs while conducting a controlled burn.
Due to the limited technology at the time, the body remained nameless for decades as the Alachua County Sheriff's Office continued the investigation to identify the victim.
Kevin Allen, the cold case detective for the sheriff's department, decided in 2021 to try methods that had been used to identify the Golden State Killer. Allen sent the unidentified remains to a Texas forensic lab which was able to use genome sequencing to build a comprehensive DNA profile for a genealogical database search through sites like Ancestry and 23andme.
"Someone had a great idea. Maybe we could find relatives of the person that was responsible for those sexual batteries and homicides," said Allen, referring to the California case. "They were the first ones to break (the Golden State Killer) case. I remember seeing that on the national news and my first thought that came to mind was, 'Wow, I could use that for our unidentified remains cases.' And that's exactly what we did with our 1979 John Doe case."
Allen said he sent the DNA samples to Othram, a lab in Texas, which was able to find the best possible genetic sequencing. With the help of volunteer genealogy expert Misty Nall and Alachua County Sheriff's Capt. Kaley Behl, a connection was made between the DNA and a distant relative of Tufano.
Behl served as the liaison between the sheriff's department and Tufano's family in New York and made the original call to Tufano's sister and Tufano's two daughters that their missing family member had been identified in Alachua County.
Both Allen and Behl said that their priority with this case, and other cases, is to keep open communication and be as transparent as possible.
"You put yourself in their shoes and you think, 'Can you imagine going 43 years and not knowing whatever happened to your dad, or your brother?'" Behl said. "I can't imagine having that unknown for so long."
Tufano's sister, Theresa Tufano Narbut, said she was very appreciative of how much effort was being put into solving this case over the years.
"They've been keeping us in touch in every way, every step of the way," she said. "Every doubt, every positive. They've been amazing. We're ever so grateful."

She and the family thought at first that a random call from a sheriff's department in Florida, telling them they had found her missing brother, was sure to be a hoax.
"We were just shocked," she said. "It was very surreal."
Now that Tufano has been identified, the sheriff's department is trying to figure out what brought him to Gainesville.
Tufano was a successful accountant with a family, but he struggled with his mental health, Tufano's family said. He had no connection to Alachua County.
The sheriff's department and the Tufano family are asking anyone with information about Ralph Tufano's last whereabouts to contact the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.
"If you know anything, of his being there, of why he was there, who he was with, could you please come forward?" Narbut pleaded. "To have a little bit more closure would be even better for the family."
Anyone with information about Ralph Tufano is asked to contact Cold Case Examiner Kevin Allen at kallen@alachuasheriff.org or call (352) 384-3323.
