Seals, walruses and sea lions are all classified as pinnipeds, which is a division of carnivorous mammals with flippers. These aquatic marine mammals share a common ancestor with the bears of the world.
Grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) and harbor seals (Phoca vitulina, photo and movie on the right) are the only two that bear young on Iceland's shores. Harbour seals are common all around Iceland and are frequently seen close to shore. It is best to see them in remote areas as they are shy and usually avoid people. At least they do so on land where they are clumsy. In water they are agile and are often more curious than afraid of people.
Grey seals are much rarer in norther Iceland than in the south. They are even more shy than the harbour seals and stay further away from the main coast. One is therefore lucky to spot the grey seal off the northern coast. The Icelandic names for these seals mirror this, harbour seal is "land seal" and grey seal is "outer seal".
The most common seal species in the world are all living on the edge of the sea ice in the Arctic and the Antarctic.
The ice edge is usually some distance north and west of Iceland but the seal species that breed there are all regular visitors to northern Iceland. These are walrus (Odobenus rosmarus), hooded seal (Cystophora cristata), harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandica), bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus) and ringed seal (Pusa hispida). If one sees a seal off northern Iceland in winter it is most likely one of these.
There are many historical accounts of bountiful seal hunts in northern iceland. For instance, in the 1772 travel Log of Eggert Ólafsson there are stories of harp seals either harpooned from row boats or clubbed on the ice in Eyjafjörður. In A description of Iceland, published in 1786, Nikolai Mohr described how harp seals were harpooned and netted and ringed seals were clubbed all the way in the bottom of the fjord when the tide went out, leaving ice high and dry.Icelandic seals tend to head out of the fjords and rarely seen while migrating seals that breed far north of Iceland often appear along the north coast. In days gone by, the arrival of these migrant seals was welcomed by hungry Icelanders who had used up most of their food stores over the winter.
Icelanders have never organized large hunts of migratory seals in the Arctic where they breed but Norwegians did. This practice brought Norwegian ships to Iceland's shores during the hunting season in years passed, though this type of hunt is no longer viable.

Sport / Leap of Faith (SIGNED)
You cannot add "The Hurt" to the basket because the product is out of stock.
Leap of Faith (SIGNED)
by Dettori, Frankie
ISBN: 9780008465469-1 Category: Sport
Legendary jockey, Frankie Dettori, shares his remarkable life story in this astonishingly intimate autobiography. When Lanfranco 'Frankie' Dettori arrived on British shores in 1985, aged just 14, he couldn't speak a word of English. Having left school just a year earlier and following in the footsteps of his father, he was eager to become a stable boy and apprentice jockey, willing to do everything it took to make it.
This was his first, but certainly not his last, leap of faith. Despite his slight size, Frankie's impact upon the British racing scene was immediate and significant. Brimming with confidence, charisma and personality, and with what was clearly a precocious talent, in 1990 he became the first teenager since Lester Piggot to win over 100 races in a single season.
By 1996, Frankie was already established as a celebrity in the sport and an adopted national treasure, but it was his extraordinary achievement of winning all seven races in a single day at Ascot that cemented his reputation as the greatest rider of his generation. Nearly 25 years later, and having won the Longines World's Best Jockey for three consecutive years running, Frankie has demonstrated an unparalled level of longevity at the pinnacle of his sport. But his story is not simply one of uninterrupted success, but also of personal anguish, recovery and restoration – both in and out of the saddle.
Now, for the very first time, Frankie compellingly reveals the lows to his highs; the plane crash that nearly killed him, the drugs ban that nearly made him quit the sport, and the acrimonious split from Godolphin that threatened his future. But Leap of Faith is also a story of love – for the sport he continues to dominate to this day, the great horses of his era (Stradivarius, Golden Horn, and of course Enable), and most importantly for his family, who have supported him every step of the way. Heartfelt and poignant, this is not simply a memoir, but a celebration of perseverance and defying the odds.

The first thing you need is a study space and a system at home for monitoring school work and notes sent home. The computer your child uses should be in a centralized location such as a family room or kitchen; so putting an "in box" type basket and a desktop file system with color coded folders and supplies (markers, sticky notes, crayons, calculator etc.) can go near the computer. Have a dry erase monthly calendar in this study area. Make note of classes and when assignments or projects are due.
The more involved kids are with the process, the more they will stick with it.
Getting them (and you) to stick to routines is important. Avoid the morning homework dash by having your child update and organize assignments and backpacks each evening as part of standard homework routine.
With your child, determine the best time for daily school work and stick with it. This time is scheduled and set aside the same way sports practice or any appointment would be reserved. For some it is right after school and for others it's after some downtime activity. The most important thing is to stick with the schedule so your child clearly understands what is expected. Note the daily homework time on the monthly dry erase calendar.
Let kids pick the colors of their folders, binders to correspond to different classes. If red reminds them of math, they'll know instantly to grab the red folder or notebook when looking for their math homework. Color affects our mood and memory.
Colorful labels and book covers can act as a reminder to bring home the red-covered math book and red folder to do their math assignment.
Use both high tech and high touch skills for your child's school success. Pair a face-to-face visit (high touch) expressing your appreciation and support while providing your cell and email contacts (high tech) are a good way to launch a new school year relationship.
Education has never been more wired or more wireless. Your child's teachers may have a homework voicemail that can be checked and they usually publish their school email address. The school's website is an information treasure trove, with everything from the bus schedule and lunch menu to class projects, teacher bios, and education resources.
The building blocks for getting an "A" on a test or receiving the "most improved reader certificate" are found in the small daily tasks taken to prepare. Good habits such as study habits, exercise habits, or kindness habits are built step by step over time. I recommend reinforcing each of the good habit behavioral building blocks. Parental direct instruction, behavior monitoring, regular course correction and small family celebrations are required to make it all work.
A small and regular reward system at home can help your child remember to bring home papers and turn things in on time.
During my years in the classroom, I wanted parents to understand that I was on their side. We needed to be partners because I was not the parent. They were. Parenting isn't a popularity contest. It is, however, the most important job on planet earth.

Amid abuses, sometimes college sports gets it right
Sports // College Football
Clemson QB an example of college sports getting it right
By Paul Newberry, Associated Press Jan. 6, 2017
Despite having graduated two weeks ago, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, with his playbook tucked under his arm, knows he still has some studying to do for Monday's national title game against Alabama.
Photo: Chris O'Meara, STF
TAMPA, Fla. - Deshaun Watson wanted to be first.
We're not talking about anything he has done on the football field.
The Clemson quarterback may be going for a national championship Monday night, but he already has scored one of the biggest victories of his life.
In just three years, Watson became the first member of his family to graduate from a four-year college. He walked across the stage a couple of weeks ago, wearing a cap and tassel rather than a helmet, to claim his degree in communications.
"No one can take that away from me," Watson said. "I put the time and the work in, and knowledge is something you can't take away from a person."
For all the well-documented abuses in college athletics, from players getting someone else to do their schoolwork to the massive academic fraud carried out by North Carolina, there are plenty of guys who do things the right way.
Many of them will be on the field in Tampa, suiting up for both teams.
They all are deserving of a shout-out.
Jonathan Allen, Alabama's star defensive lineman, returned to college for his senior season - time spent not only boosting his stock in the upcoming NFL draft but earning his diploma in financial planning.
Even if Allen goes on to have a long, successful career in the pros, he figures that having a degree will come in handy when he is done playing.
"There's no telling what I'll want to do after my football career," he said. "Just having that degree opens up way more doors."
That is a message that Alabama coach Nick Saban preaches to all his players.
"We tell guys when they come here, 'You're in the business of developing two careers, one off the field by graduating from school, and one on the field if you can become a good enough player to have an opportunity to play at the next level,' " Saban said.
A mother's guidance
Even at a powerhouse school such as Alabama, which is going for its fifth national title in eight years and sent countless players to the NFL, there are no guarantees of future riches on the gridiron.
Besides, Saban added, no matter how successful someone might be as a player, he's still likely to spend a majority of life not playing football.
"The key thing is the importance of education, the importance of developing a career off the field," the coach said. "If you're a great football player, which may be one percent of all college football players, you may play football for five, six, seven, eight years, probably no more, which means you're 30 years old and then your career is over. What do you do for the next 50 years of your life?"
The last two teams standing in college football both scored well on the most recent Academic Progress Rate released by the NCAA. Clemson ranked third in the Atlantic Coast Conference, trailing only Duke and Georgia Tech, while Alabama tied with Florida for the third spot in the Southeastern Conference behind Vanderbilt and Auburn.
Both Clemson and Alabama ranked among the top 25 in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Of course, there's no denying that plenty of athletes - especially in big-time football and basketball programs that are really nothing more than farm systems for the pros - have no concern about actually learning anything while in college.
Often, they are directed into so-called clusters - courses of study populated with star athletes, many of them largely intent on making academics as easy as possible so they can stay academically eligible just long enough to get started on their NFL or NBA careers.
But Watson's mother Deann, who battled cancer while raising Deshaun and his siblings on her own, had no intention of letting her son go down that path.
She stressed all along that he was at Clemson to not only play football but to get his degree.
Watson took her prodding to heart, graduating a year ahead of schedule so he'd already have his diploma in hand before he headed off to the NFL after his junior season.
"It's amazing how he accomplished all this stuff," said Sonia Watson, who is Deshaun's aunt. "Not too many people could do that."
Watson graduated early from high school so he could enroll at Clemson in January 2014.
He took on a massive workload during the 2015-16 school year, completing 37 academic hours so he would have a light class load for his last semester in college.
'Not just about football'
The entire family was on hand to celebrate when he got his degree.
"That was very important to his momma," Sonia Watson said. "It's not just about football. It's about getting his degree, too. You never know what might happen. She kept a firm hand on his shoulder, and he got it done. We're so proud of him."
Watson's influence wore off on his teammates. Artavis Scott, the Tigers' top receiver, also graduated in three years with a communications degree.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said Scott wasn't "very committed to being a great student coming of high school," but he began to realize the value of an education while rooming with Watson.
"It's just been awesome to watch (Scott) transform his life here and really value and be as hungry to be great academically as he's been athletically," Swinney said.
"Those two just took off together."
College athletics has a lot of problems, but sometimes they get it right.

Everybody loves a good Neil Young cover, and with the legendary rocker coming to town this week we figured we'd share some great Young covers performed by some great local artists. Unfortunately, one of our favorite covers, "Powderfinger" as done by the Hot Stove All Stars each year at the "Hot Stove, Cool Music" event, is nowhere to be found on Youtube. However, here are some other fun covers that will fill the void.
"Trasher" by Evan Dando – The Lemonheads frontman doesn't actually sing the whole song here, but he makes up for it by throwing in a little Bob Dylan impression as an added bonus!
"Keep On Rockin' in the Free World" by State Radio – Neil brings everybody together as State Radio are joined by famous friends Kevin Youkilis, Bronson Arroyo, and Theo Epstein on this jam.
Do you have a favorite Neil Young cover? Let us know about it in the Comments section below!

De Arte Amandi et de Remedio Amoris. BOUND WITH: Epistolae Heroides
Item#: 110847 price:$23,500.00
"A WORK AS LICENTIOUS AS IT IS ORIGINAL AND ELABORATE": OVID'S ART OF LOVE, 1494 VENETIAN INCUNABLE PRINTING, BOUND TOGETHER WITH HIS HEROÏDES, 1497 VENETIAN INCUNABLE PRINTING—TWO VERY SCARCE AND DESIRABLE INCUNABLE EDITIONS OF OVID ON LOVE
(OVID) OVIDIUS NASO, Publius. De Arte Amandi et de Remedio Amoris [The Art and Remedy of Love]. BOUND WITH: Epistolae Heroides [Letters of Heroines]. Venice: Johannes Tacuinus, de Tridino, July 5, 1494; Jan. 24, 1497. Two volumes bound in one. Folio (8-1/2 by 11-1/2 inches), 18th-century limp vellum; 56 numbered leaves; 96 numbered leaves. $23,500.
Two very scarce and desirable incunable printings of Ovid on the art of love—The Art and Remedy of Love, along with The Heroides—finely printed in Venice by Johannes Tacuinus in 1494 and 1497, the second work with an attractive woodcut-illustrated title page, bound together in one volume.
The Art of Love, along with its continuation, Cures for Love, was composed and made public around 2 BC, and offered advice to both men and women on the methods of "contracting a love affair and insuring its continuance—a work as licentious as it is original and elaborate" (Peck, 1151). "These poems had a momentous influence on later European civilization. It was not only Chaucer who read Ovid's love poetry; every educated person with the slightest interest in the subject did so" (Paul Brians). The Epistolae Heroides [Letters of Heroines] is a collection of 15 epistolary poems composed by Ovid in Latin elegiac couplets and presented as though written by a selection of aggrieved heroines of Greek and Roman mythology addressing their heroic loves who have in some way mistreated, neglected, or abandoned them, such as Penelope to Ulysses, Helen to Paris, Dido to Aeneas, and Hero to Leander. De Arte Amandi is printed with the extensive commentary of Bartholomaeus Merula, which first appeared in Johannes Tacuinas' edition of May, 1494 (this printing dated July 1494). Epistolae Heroides is accompanied by the commentaries of Antonius Volscus and Hubertinus Clericus, a popular text and commentaries that were printed several times before by other printers. This edition of the Epistolae includes Sappho et Ibis, with commentary by Domitius Calderinus. Text in Latin. With a number of multi-line initials in both titles. Hain 12220; 12200. Goff O165; O-143. Occasional early marginalia.
First leaf of first work and last three leaves of second work with skillful restoration to edges, last leaf with some loss of text. Some marginal dampstaining and worm traces in latter half of second work. A lovely copy of these two scarce and desirable Ovid incunable editions.

Biden raised more money than Trump in May
By MetaNews June 20, 2020 288
Donald Trump and the Republicans trailed Democratic challenger Joe Biden in fundraising last month with just over four months to go until November's presidential election.
The Trump campaign on Saturday said it raised $74m in May, giving the US president a war chest of some $265m cash on hand for the election.
The Biden campaign said earlier this week that the former vice-president and the Democratic party had raised a combined $81m in May, a $20m increase on their April totals.
Mr Biden has risen steadily in public opinion polls in recent weeks, as an increasing number of Americans disapprove of the president's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The president has also come under criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for his response to the widespread protests following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last month.
A Fox News poll this week gave Mr Biden a 12-point lead over Mr Trump nationwide, while a Quinnipiac survey put the former vice-president eight points ahead of the incumbent.
However, the Trump campaign said on Saturday, as it released its latest fundraising figures, that the Republican war chest "continues to dwarf" that of Mr Biden and the Democrats. The latest filings suggest Mr Trump has more than twice as much cash on hand as Mr Biden.
"Biden's May fundraising numbers show that even though May was Biden's first full month as the Democrat nominee, and with that brought advantages of higher fundraising limits and the full weight of the Democrat party, Biden was still unable to make a dent in the massive cash on hand advantages that the Trump campaign and RNC enjoys," the Trump campaign said in a statement.
The campaign said it set a record last weekend for its single largest online fundraising day ever, bringing in $14m in one day, the president's 74th birthday, with an average donation size of $46.
"After yet another massive fundraising haul, it remains clear that the enthusiasm behind President Trump's re-election campaign goes unmatched," said Brad Parscale, Mr Trump's campaign manager.
"While Sleepy Joe Biden lobs ineffective partisan attacks from the shadows of his basement, President Trump is leading The Great American Comeback and he is drawing support from every corner of this country."
Mr Trump will hold a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday night, in his first major event since the coronavirus began spreading across America. Some 19,000 people are expected to crowd the city's BOK Center, even though the number of coronavirus cases in Tulsa has spiked since the start of the month and the head of the city's health department has warned the rally poses a huge risk.

At this year's PAX Australia, life imitated art as hundreds of fans walked the halls of Melbourne's Convention Center dressed as their favourite video game characters. From the carefully hand crafted pieces to the casual costumes, they all came together to experience a range of panels, game showcases, and meet ups with video game enthusiasts from near and far. Although there were many cosplayers representing different games and genres, it was the League of Legends cosplayers that came out in full force.Laura Scott, also known as Saerianne, is a 19 year old cosplayer from Sydney. She attended PAX this year in three different League of Legends champion outfits: Arcade Miss Fortune, Janna, and Lulu. At last year's convention, Laura says there were close to 20 League of Legends cosplayers but this year there was an increased influx and they came by the hundreds.
It was evident at this year's PAX that the cosplay community is flourishing and a result of this is the rise of the cosplay celebrity. Laura attended a panel where prominent cosplayers Eve Beauregard, Rae Johnston, and Ardella talked about the nature of this new fame. They said that it exists, but that it is different type of celebrity, one that belongs less on a pedestal, and more as an inspiration for those who want to express themselves in a creative way.
She began with a Deviant Art page which evolved into a Facebook page. From there different Cosplay groups shared photos which led to increased recognition. Like many other cosplayers, she has her own card to hand out, which has her Facebook details in case people at conventions want to follow her. Despite this, she still isn't used to the attention it brings.
It is this theme of inclusivity that has allowed the cosplay community to develop into what it is today, a thriving force of united passions and creativity. And PAX has given the bonds built through shared photos, tweets, and messages on social media a space to become tangible.
For Laura and others like her, PAX is an open and welcoming convention that has given video game cosplayers of Australia a place to call home.

The other issue many people don't understand is how the salary
structures have evolved in the U.S. in regards to gross pay and net pay.
A position paying $100K where $30K is paid in a combination of all taxes
is not going to be paying $100K if the tax burden falls to $10K. Even
within the same corporation there are differentials based on cost of
living of different areas of the country (and world), and these
differentials are based on both expenses for taxes and the costs of
goods and services.
If, after the past eight years, anyone voted Republican with the idea
that Republicans would protect their savings, investments, and job, then
they haven't been paying attention. Yet Republicans can talk about tax
cuts (unfunded tax cuts) and there are still some naive middle and lower
class voters that think that they'll automatically be better off paying
slightly lower taxes. These people are unable to look at the big picture
of how government is funded and the effects of increasing deficits. It's
the same people that whine about how we should have just let GM and
Chrysler go into liquidation, without understanding that the cost of
liquidation would be much higher.
Again, Obama needs to really work on the education problem. There are
still too many people voting against their own best interests, as well
as the best interests of the country, because they listen to and believe
the right wing talking heads.

IBD has as much credibility at Fox News, the New York Post, and the
Washington Times. It's an extreme right wing newspaper. Of course they
would publish such a "poll." You can fairly certain that the opposite is
actually true.
If IBD says something about health care, global warming, etc. you can
give it the same credibility as if Rush or Sean or Glenn said the same
thing--no credibility at all.

Haven't you seen the piles of stolen cash that the government keeps at
the border crossings that they give to anyone coming in that is not
supposed to be coming in?
At least it's clear who Joe Wilson was appealing to when he shouted his
lie during Obama's speech. It makes absolutely no difference to the
people praising Joe Wilson that there is nothing in the health care bill
that gives coverage to illegal aliens, and Wilson knew that his audience
would not know or care that he was lying.

If you want to beef up the look and functionality of your UTV, then this tire & wheel kit from GMZ will do the trick. The Sand Stripper XL series tires matched with the light weight and sleek Casino beadlocks gives your UTV a much larger footprint that provides excellent flotation, while the 10 7/8th inch paddles give you the traction you need in soft sand. Geared more toward the more powerful machines, like the 1000cc and turbo powered cars, these tires really let the horsepower come out in the sand! Take full advantage of your new sand tires with the Casino beadlock wheel that was designed specifically for them to maximize their performance and add to the capability of your machine.
This is a kit of 4 tires and 4 wheels that ships with beadlocks already installed, plus free shipping!
We've been running these tires for about a year. They add a lot to the look of the ride, give it a wider stance, and they float over the whoops really well. They do require more power, so they're a great option for the turbo powered utvs, like our 2016 xp turbo. Reflashing would help make them better still. They would be perfect for the 2017 xp turbo.


The holiday season is here and with that comes all the prepping, decorating, shopping and wrapping! Do you typically have a lot of gift wrapping to do? Do you enjoy hosting holiday parties? Why not combine the two and invite your friends over for a "wine and wrap" party?!
I started an annual wine and wrap party a few years ago with my girlfriends. We all had what felt like an endless amount of gifts to wrap and we really just wanted to spend time together over some wine. What started as a casual visit with friends quickly escalated into an annual wrapping event that we all look forward to!
Create a supply station that has everything your guests will need! Set out personalized stemless wine glasses and a bottle of your favorite wine. I easily created a personalized wine bottle label that coordinated perfectly with the rest of my party's decor. Set out some darling Santa-shaped napkins and let the wrapping (and wine sipping) commence!
Have an assortment of curling ribbon, tape, scissors and tissue paper handy. White gift bags, black gift bags, paper shred and wrapping paper, too! Display the smaller items in scalloped containers and add a personalized round sticker for a fun and quick reference!
Something I'm really excited to use this year is personalized wrapping paper! I easily created a roll of wrapping paper with photos of my children. My family will get a big kick out of seeing their presents wrapped in this and sitting under their Christmas trees!
Create a table setting that is inviting and festive! Bold colors and touches of greenery look so pretty together, especially during the holidays. Rustic metal lanterns and white pillar candles will add just the right amount of lighting to your holiday table! A lush mixed pine & cedar garland will work beautifully as a table centerpiece! It adds a nice pop of green to a black polyester tablecloth.
Complete your table setting with white premium dinner plates, black premium utensils, black polyester napkins and birch place card holders.
Personalizing sweet treats is a breeze when you create a mini candy bar wrapper to coordinate with the rest of your decor! Set a couple candies at each place setting and some on a dessert stand for everyone to enjoy.
Are you ready to start wrapping those gifts?! Don't forget to invite your friends over for some wine and holiday cheer!

Elon Musk moves us one step closer to Iron Sky space Nazi reality
April 4, 2022 April 4, 2022 Paul E King 0 Comments
Elon Musk, already arm deep in the great electrification of the planet with Tesla, and the exploration of near space via SpaceX, has taken one more step toward the unstated goal of bringing about the 2012 film Iron Sky to reality with his purchase of a 9.2% stake in Twitter.
As of this writing shares of Twitter were up over 20% in trading, meaning Paul's has only lost $8.63 on the stock.
There are no stated goals in the official filing of the purchase, but one can hope that with the power of Tesla, SpaceX, and a large stake in the internet's previously-relevant social media platform, he can work to oust whatever idiot keeps changing from chronological timeline to whatever the hell it is this week.
It will be interesting to see if this is followed by turning Twitter into less of a neonazi antivax science denying hellscape, or more. My guess is more as he's complaining about Twitter stifling free speech, and from the looks of the Pocketables Twitter feed other than calling outright for people to actively go out and murder people who have a different skintone/nationality, there's not a lot of stifling I'm seeing other than Anonymous's links to DDOSecrets and kill yourself advice.
Your experience of course may vary. The previous owners of Pocketables had set up auto-follow-back and damn… the world can be a depressing place.
I guess it will be interesting to see what happens when pushes for freer speech and Twitter becomes even more the trollish hellscape that it has been sliding toward and back for the past few years. Also unclear here is if he's referring to freedom of speech in the "you can say whatever and have no consequences from the platform," or in the "we're just going to get rid of the moderators, fact checkers, and just fight local governments because we bought the gate and refuse to be gatekeepers."
Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.
Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?
Anyway, electric space Nazis, this is how you get electric space Nazis.

The Cannibalism Scene In 'Game Of Thrones' Was Way More Diabolical In The Books
Helen Sloan/courtesy of HBO
By Charlotte Ahlin
When you're adapting a very long book into a very expensive TV show, you're going to have to make a few changes. That comes with the territory. So when our favorite murder orphan, Arya Stark, went full Sweeney Todd on Lord Walder Frey in season seven of the HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones, I was on board for it. If anyone deserves to eat some of his family members in a pie, it's most certainly Lord Frey, the host of the Red Wedding. In both the book and the show, Frey is a cruel old man who tricks and murders the Starks in cold blood, switches sides to whoever happens to be in power, and doesn't seem to care much for his many children or his wives.
But does Arya force him to eat his sons? Not in the books. The cannibalism scene in the books is much more subtle. And instead of Arya Stark (when did she learn to bake, anyhow?) the mastermind behind the Frey pies is lovable merman Wyman Manderly.
Here's how it goes down:
The Manderlys play a very minor role in the TV show, which is fair enough (there are A LOT of noble houses out there murdering each other already). In the books, however, the Manderlys are in a very awkward position: They were sworn to the Starks, but now that the Boltons control the North, they want to avoid getting killed.
See, Lord Wyman Manderly's sons were part of Robb Stark's army. One was killed at the Red Wedding, and the other was taken prisoner by the Lannisters. And now team Lannister/Bolton have sworn to give poor old Wyman's surviving son back to him, but only if Wyman promises loyalty to the Boltons and marries his granddaughters to Freys. Wyman agrees, because he doesn't want to lose another kid.
So Rhaegar, Symond, and Jared Frey come over to Wyman's house to hang out and eat all his snacks and make sure that he's not about to double cross them. And when Ser Davos rolls up in White Harbor, the Manderlys make a big show of how jazzed they are to marry a bunch of Freys. Wyman even has a fight with his punk, green-haired granddaughter in front of everyone, threatening to ship her off to a nunnery if she won't shut up and be happy with her new Frey husband.
But as soon as the Freys are out of sight, Wyman and his family drop the act, and they let Davos know that they're all really still team Stark. They're going to pretend to execute him, but really they want him to go on a rescue mission up to Skagos to get baby Rickon Stark so they can restore him as King of the North.
Wyman executes a criminal dressed as Davos, and Cersei lets him have his son back. Now that Wyman and the Manderlys are officially pro-Bolton, though, he's expected to attend Ramsay Bolton's wedding to "Arya" Stark (in the show it's Sansa Stark, but in the book, it's poor Jeyne Poole wearing a fake mustache).
So Wyman gives a fancy horse to each of his three Frey "guests," and sends them ahead of him. Once the Freys are out of the Manderly's home, though, they are no longer protected by the sacred laws of hospitality — the same laws that the Freys violated when they murdered guests at the Red Wedding.
On their way to the wedding, all three Freys go mysteriously missing.
Then Wyman shows up at the wedding with his entourage and a ton of food, pretending to be upset that his three Frey buddies haven't arrived yet. All of the other nasty Freys and Boltons have arrived to watch Ramsay marry a defenseless teen girl, and at the reception Wyman gleefully presents them with three huge meat pies:
"The best pie you have ever tasted, my lords. Wash it down with Arbor gold and savor every bite. I know I shall."
Roose Bolton is suspicious, but Wyman eats some of each pie himself, so it can't be poisoned. The Boltons and Freys figure that Wyman can't be both fat and a diabolical genius, so they chow down while Wyman has the bard play the song of the Rat Cook.
The Rat Cook, if you're not up on your Westerosi lore, was a legendary cook at the Nightfort. He supposedly served a pie to a king with the king's own son cooked inside. The king didn't know this, though, and had a second helping. The old gods were furious that the cook had slain a guest under his own roof, and transformed him into a giant rat, able only to eat its own young.
So yeah... that's the song that Wyman plays while feeding three very suspicious pies to the Freys. It's pretty heavily implied that that is where the three missing Freys went. And sure, maybe the TV show's version, with Arya and Lord Walder Frey, was a touch more cinematic.
But shout out to Wyman Manderly for one of the most gruesome, subtle revenge plots in all of literary history.

How Africa can develop like China — Peter Obi
African governments have been advised to look in the direction of China in their search for solutions to the continent's economic problems. Former Governor of Anambra State Mr. Peter Obi, gave the advice while delivering a keynote speech at the three-day 2018 African SME Roundtable Forum in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital.
He drew attention to the fact that only 35 years ago, Africa boasted better economic indices than China. "Thirty-five years ago, Africa was doing better than China per capita, but the reverse is now the case," Obi lamented, reeling out figures to buttress his point.
He noted that while Africa has regressed over the past three decades, China has gone on to become one of the best economies in the world. The secret, he said, lies in China's massive investment in education and skill acquisition programmes, as well as solid support for Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs).
"If Africa is to be turned around, it will be done through SMEs. That is the engine of growth, even in developed countries," said the former Governor, who since after leaving office in 2014 has devoted his time to the promotion of education across the continent and imparting of knowledge through speaking engagement in various parts of the world.
Citing the global trend, Obi advised Nigeria and the rest of Africa to aggressively pursue "knowledge economy" as against the preoccupation with "baggage economy", which he described as being old fashioned. He warned that oil cannot save Nigeria or any other African country, pointing out that global firms such as Apple, Facebook and Microsoft, "which sell knowledge", are making more money than a country like Nigeria which depends heavily on oil revenue. "Don't think that oil is going to save Nigeria or any other African country. If it could do that, it would have saved Venezuela," Obi warned
He also condemned the public sector's penchant of "borrowing money without saving to pay back," warning: "That is anarchy. The youths will pay for it tomorrow." He also condemned multiple taxation, blaming it on the fact that "government has not realised the importance of SMEs."
The former Governor, himself a successful business man before he ventured into politics, shared success secrets and spoke of how he was able to save money as two-time Governor of Anambra State by drastically cutting the cost of governance and partnering with development agencies such as the Bank of Industry and international development partners.
He advised African youths not to lose hope but to remain positive and see SMEs as something they can use to deliver the continent out of poverty and even change the world for the better. He noted that from the discussions, it was evident that there are large opportunities in Africa. But "young people must invest wisely for them to create wealth and job for others. You must also manage your cost. Unless it is for business purposes, spend from your surplus and not from the money you use to do business," he advised.
The Roundtable drew economic experts from various parts of Africa, among them Ambassador Joseph Habineza, former Rwandan High Commissioner to Nigeria; Dr. Kheswar Jankee, Ambassador, Republic of Mauritius to Germany; Rose Mboya, Head of Intellectual Property, Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI); Victor Grange Mehile, former Minister of Agriculture, Republic of Equatorial Guinea; and Alhaji Babale Girei, former Managing Director of Nigeria's Bank of Agriculture and pioneer President of the World Association for Small and Medium Enterprises.

My IOB experience impacted and transformed my life/ career in so many positive ways. During my studies at the IOB I learned a lot and developed so many skills which have in the first place helped me get my current teaching job at the University of the Gambia, enhanced my performance there while also opening many other career opportunities for me. The rigorous training at IOB that pushes students to think beyond not just understanding but equally to be able to make constructive criticism prepared me to work under pressure and developed critical and analytical ways of unpacking issues. One of those great things at IOB which stand out the most for me is that it provided me that rare opportunity to meet diverse and beautiful scholars from around the world – students from Peru, Palestine, Uruguay, Vietnam, Philippines, Zambia, Bangladesh, just to mention a few because the list is longer than this. This is indeed an opportunity hard to come by! If you were the director of a research fund, what is a research question that you would agree to finance? A topic I would like to see being thoroughly researched is one which I'm currently developing my PhD Proposal on – 'Social Cohesion in Africa's 'New' Cities: Case of the Diverse and Globally/Digitally Connected Neighbourhoods in the Gambia'. 'In the Gambia, the peri-urban dynamics of the past decade and a half has been marked by a fundamental transformation of housing and subsequently the settlement landscape. From year 2000 onward, there has been an unprecedented surge in real estate housing settlements. About 10 new housing estates/neighbourhoods have been built. These new neighbourhoods/homes provided through real estate seemingly pose formidable threats to the social glue that holds Gambian society together – not least because frequent socialisations and interactions appear to be restricted but also from all indications these new neighbourhoods are home to above average Gambians'. 15 Leila Arnold GLOB - 2013-14| South-Africa Where do you work?

Software Engineer


How can I know when to step in vs giving her some room? I don't want to be in the way either.
I really don't know on her case but for me I just njoYed them being around every min of the day just assured me that I'm not faceing this alone!!!
Hi, you are a very thoughtful friend! I can tell you my friends have been an absolute lifesaver for me. There are several ways you can be there for your friend. You can be there to listen to her. Offer to take her to her chemo treatments. Get a group of friends and go shopping for a wig before or when she loses her hair. Make it fun! Bring her a meal when she's feeling too bad to prepare dinner. Call or text her just to say hi or ask if there's anything she needs. Do something fun like taking her to a movie to lift her spirits. I think a lot of people are afraid that they may be imposing. I know how I felt before I became ill. Not knowing what to do or what to say. She will really appreciate all of those things and that you're there for her.

Green Alert
Death of Air Force veteran with PTSD inspires 'Green Alert' movement
By Meg Jones • Updated Jan 31, 2018 at 3:10 PM
MILWAUKEE — His family and friends noticed the difference when Corey Adams returned home from his last overseas deployment.
When the Air Force Reserves sergeant came back from a six-month deployment in Afghanistan in 2009, he had changed.
"I looked in his eyes and it was like he wasn't himself, like he was emotionally drained," said his mother, Gwen Adams.
Diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, the man who loved to fish, cook, exercise and spend time with his family, who volunteered to shovel neighbors' sidewalks, slowly withdrew, almost as if his personality was draining away like a melting icicle.
He eventually moved out of his home and into his parents' place in Milwaukee in October 2016 so they could keep an eye on him and take him to appointments at the Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
On the morning of March 20, 2017, Gwen Adams had to run a quick errand and she asked her oldest son if she could make him breakfast. He said no, that he would be OK. So she kissed him and told him she'd be right back.
Gwen Adams never saw her 45-year-old son again. Eighteen days later his body was discovered next to the Dineen Park lagoon.
Now the Air Force veteran, who served in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War, and later in Kuwait and Afghanistan, could end up helping save the lives of other vulnerable veterans.
Frustrated by the difficulty in getting Milwaukee police to search for him, his family has pushed for a "Green Alert" similar to the Amber and Silver alerts for missing children and senior citizens. A bill creating a Green Alert system in Wisconsin unanimously passed the state Senate last week and will likely go before the Assembly next month.
While every state has Amber and Silver alerts, Wisconsin would be the first to offer a similar alert for missing vulnerable veterans.
"We're hoping this goes national," said state Sen. LaTonya Johnson (D-Milwaukee), who introduced the bill. "Veterans give so much. Corey served (three) tours and he came home safe. If he made it home safe we should have done everything to make sure he was made whole."
When Gwen Adams returned an hour later last March, her son was gone. His wallet, car keys, eyeglasses, medications and cellphone were left behind. She immediately knew something wasn't right. A few hours later she called the 7th District police station to report her son missing and was told an officer would be sent to the home. None came and eventually she was told by police to come to the station.
She and her husband, Johnnie Adams, filed a missing persons report that evening.
"I said, 'Can't you put him on an emergency list?' and she said, no," Johnnie Adams said.
Gwen Adams called the next day and was told the officer who took their missing person's report was off for two days and they would have to wait until she returned. They did. They told police their son suffered from PTSD, they told police the medications he was taking and that he had missed an appointment at the VA.
But because he was an adult, the family was told he didn't meet the criteria for a critical missing person.
"All of us were upset at the reaction we got," said Johnnie Adams, a Vietnam veteran who served three years in the Army.
Milwaukee police officials hadn't responded to a reporter's questions on the Adams report or their policies on missing persons as of late Monday.
In the meantime, the family made fliers with his picture to post throughout their neighborhood, fanned out in cars to search for him, posted notices on Facebook and sought help from the media. More than a week later after TV stations aired stories about the missing veteran, police arrived at the Adams home.
"They did what they should have done on the first day," Gwen Adams said.
As each day passed, the family's sense of dread increased. Then on April 7, Carmen Adams, a sixth-grade teacher at Metcalf Elementary School, got a phone call from a friend who heard about a body found at Dineen Park. She thought it might be her brother.
Later their worst fears were confirmed — it was Corey, identified by his fingerprints and a tattoo of a family pet, a Doberman pinscher named Georgia, over his heart.
The death certificate listed the cause of death as drowning, but his family has many questions they know will probably never be answered. Why was his body at Dineen Park? How could the good swimmer die of drowning? When exactly did he die? Was it suicide or an accident? Corey Adams' family may never know.
But they are convinced that had police started searching for him right away, the outcome might have been much different.
Johnson first met Gwen Adams when she ran for the state Senate in 2012. After Corey Adams' death, Johnson met with his family, who live in her Senate district. Johnson wondered if there was something she could do.
"My assistant said 'well, there's an Amber Alert and Silver Alert, maybe there should be some type of alert for vulnerable veterans,'" Johnson said.
Green was chosen because of the color of military uniforms and to signal a sense of urgency because a green traffic light means go.
"If Corey was in Afghanistan and came up missing, his brothers and sisters would have risked life and limb to find him, they would have searched for him until they brought him home. That's the effort we need to do here," Johnson said.
The Corey Adams Searchlight Act received bipartisan support in the Legislature. GOP state Rep. Joel Kleefisch is a sponsor of the bill and expects it to pass the Wisconsin Assembly and be on Gov. Scott Walker's desk by late February.
Kleefisch noted the Silver Alert system was quickly added by the Department of Transportation to the existing Amber Alert system in the state. And considering the number of veterans suffering from PTSD, other states might adopt a Green Alert.
"I will not be surprised if we see Green Alert in every state of the union in the next three to four years," Kleefisch said.
Gwen Adams remembers her son telling her he wanted to join the Air Force shortly after he graduated from Milwaukee Technical High School. He wanted to serve his country just as his father and both grandfathers did. Corey Adams was born while his father was in Vietnam and Corey was 6 months old before Johnnie Adams held his son in his arms.
Corey Adams served four years on active duty and then joined the 440th Air Force Reserve in Milwaukee and stayed with the unit after the base closed here, flying on weekends to North Carolina.
The flag from his casket sits in a case on a table at his parents' home next to photos of a grinning Adams in happier times. After his body was found, his family decided he should be buried at the veterans cemetery in Union Grove.
They also decided Corey Adams should be buried in his blue Air Force uniform.

Bones, CSI: Crime Science Investigation, Castle, Law & Order, and Dexter, are all famous television shows that have gained the approval of worldwide audiences. What do they have in common?
They all regularly portray aspects and specific techniques of forensic biology to ensure criminal justice.
Forensic biology is the application of biology to solve criminal and civil crimes. There are some subdisciplines of forensic biology that can be studied by interested students in schools all over the world. The following are the basic concepts of forensic biology that can be reviewed by science lovers:
DNA Analysis: DNA is one of the most popular pieces of evidence recovered at the scene by forensic specialists to discover the nature of a crime. DNA is often also referred to as biological evidence which is the golden standard in forensic science. The analysis of DNA has many biological applications such as paternity testing, identification of unknown human remains, and connecting suspects or victims to evidence, a scene, or to another person.
Forensic Anthropology: the scientific study of anthropology is applied to forensics through the analysis of human skeletal remains. For example, a specific case may need the require the expertise of an anthropologist to determine the race, sex, age, and possible ailments that can be seen looking for clues of the skeletal structure.
Forensic Odontology: dentists may specialise in forensic odontology and be invited to work in a crime lab can to aid in the identification of degraded remains. Since enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, dentists or odontologists can compare recovered remains to dental records.
Forensic Entomology: a forensic pathologist is a certified doctor and medical examiner who is best known for conducting autopsies. Does anybody remember Dr Al Robbins from CSI? This type of doctor has extensive knowledge of the human body and is essential in some cases to determine the cause of death.
Forensic Toxicology: this aspect of forensic biology is practised in a crime laboratory and includes forensic chemistry and biochemistry to trace evidence that is used to determine if the cause of death was through poisoning or drug use.
All of the previously mentioned aspects are essential to the scientific study of forensic biology.
