Clearly, not all social media users are equal. Many of us primarily use it to stay in touch with family and friends, sharing pictures, stories and other points of interest. It serves as something of a snapshot, a modern-day version of a diary, albeit with an exhibitionist flair.
Then there are the super users, those who seem to live in this digital space, seemingly chronicling their every moment or move, often leaving no thought captive.
On its face, social media is a neutral medium. It's like any other tool. If used properly and wisely, it can be a source for happy, healthy, harmonious and even productive communication. Focus on the Family has millions of social media followers, and we're grateful for each one of them.
But as we all know, social media is often misused, instead serving as a platform for spewing negative and even vile opinions. It's given voice to the aggrieved and a platform to the perpetually furious.
Sadly, I tend to agree with both Maggie and John. But surely Christians are more responsible users of social media, yes?
I sure hope so, but we're all human. We're all susceptible to getting drawn into very public disputes that can quickly deteriorate.
Let's face it, in my own circle of social media users, I've observed many Christians arguing with each other about matters that are both substantive – and frankly, others that are pretty stupid.
There's not enough space in a short blog post like this to debate the merits of specific arguments, but I would like to suggest that I think it's generally both counterproductive and unwise for Christians to run down other Christians or their opinions in the very public setting of social media.
Indeed, with the surge of social media has come, even within the Church, the rise of the irritating self-righteous pontificator, the person who seems to look for things to be angry about, who slashes, bashes and trashes people or groups and then rails against those who won't pile on and do likewise.
In self-defense, many of these people say they are activists serving a good cause – but very often they're actually agitators and hecklers in search of a fight.
This "fighting" mentality is how the world engages – but it's not how believers are commanded to interact, especially with one another – even on Facebook and Twitter. In fact, the Bible is full of practical counsel regarding how we should engage on social media. In Proverbs we read, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (15:1).
Inclined to fire off an incendiary post or response? In Ecclesiastes, Solomon advises, "Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools" (7:9). The apostle Paul, a man well familiar with strain and strife, who both persecuted and was persecuted, writes, "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person" (Col. 4:6).
Throughout my time in ministry, I've worked hard to try and not ascribe motive to people with whom I disagree. Surely, Christians as a whole should do likewise and maybe go one step further, giving one another the benefit of the doubt.
Or how about this: when you're tempted to tee off on a fellow believer, how about asking more questions and making fewer declarative statements?
When Christians publicly run down other Christians or their opinions on social media, they're giving non-believers plenty of reasons to stay away from the Church. I'm not suggesting we need to avoid or sugar coat disagreements or tip toe thru life with a Pollyannaish naiveté. When our faith is being grossly misrepresented or basic Christian doctrines are being turned on their head, we may have a responsibility to inject truth into the dialogue. But in any case, I'm suggesting Christians would be wise to consider the impact of their witness to the world when tweeting or engaging in social media.
Are you growing wearing of the animosity on many social media platforms? How are you and your families navigating these trends?
Our family tends to avoid conversing about hot topics, contradicting our Christian friends and family on a public forum, and any negativity towards others, Christian or not, politics, and even non-believers. There is a Biblical code of conduct that instructs is how to live towards others both Christian and non Christian and how to respect our government, even if we disagree. While most of the people we know don't share antagonizing thoughts, some do, and usually it creates a heated discussion which rarely goes in a healthy direction. As a family, we don't want to contribute to the negative aspects of social media but to use it for positive reasons. We have also found that discussions are more polite, respectful, and emotions better controlled when those controversial conversation are had in person. It's much easier to see someone's expressions and hear their heart when face to face, so we don't passively avoid these conversations but will have them in an appropriate situation.
I think that as long as Christians are tolerant and respectful on social media there is nothing wrong with disagreeing. Disagreeing can teach us a lot just as suffering can teach us a lot. I think the same principles that the Bible teaches us we need to apply whether speaking directly to someone or through social media (ie. Proverbs tells us to think before we speak, so in social media we ought to think before we post). I think one of the problems with social media (as opposed to speaking face to face) is not being able to hear the tone behind the words or to see facial expression, and that can cause people to misinterpret the meaning or feelings behind the words.
I would go even further and ask should Christians be criticizing other people, whether or not they are Christians, on social media or in any other way? There are ways of standing for the truth and expressing opinions, without being critical and passing judgment on others. We are not called to judge; in fact, we are explicitly instructed not to judge or condemn.
ONE: We must employ reflective "listening". Before declarative or exclamatory (inflammatory) response, we should ask author: "Please help me understand, did you mean ... " and inset our own interpretation that illustrates (provide a picture or example) of what we think they meant.
(1) Avoids error of false assumptions of author's intent.
(2) Provides author alternative, non-threatening perspective of potential effects of their post without accusation or indictment.
(3) Provides author opportunity to clarify intent or definitions.
(4) If author responds, it can provide us information to help ensure we more thoroughly know author's intended communication.
PURPOSE: Christians must lead the dialogue or risk becoming irrelevant. Encourage Christians to engage other believers in social media. Christians are sinners. Non-believers can learn by observing believers can (and often do) disagree, even passionately, and yet still learn from each other without impugning, denigrating or threatening the integrity of other believers. Such skills and attributes are often missing in common social media. Church leaders must consider training believers the art of gentle, tactful but firm and assertive confrontational communication, especially in social media.
CONCLUSION: Christians must become the champions (practice, practice, practice) of the gentle and respectful art and technique of harmonious, edifying, uncompromising (even when confrontational) communication always abundantly seasoned, overflowing with amazing grace.
I totally agree that, not only is it non-Christian to publicly bash other Christians, but is counter-productive to the entire ministry of spreading the Gospel. After all, folks who are searching, are looking for ALTERNATIVES to the world, not more of the same. However, I don't have a problem voicing my opinions on politics, law, entertainment, etc., as long as those opinions don't deviate into bad taste or hate-speech!
I use only Facebook and don't usually have a problem. Most of my friends agree with me on important issues. On the rare occasions there's a disagreement, if I decide to reply, I stick to objective facts and reasons. I do think it may sometimes be possible to open someone's mind to truth.
"Having purified your soul by means of your obedience to the truth, resulting in a genuine affection and love for the brethren..." I Peter 1:22. Christians should never be cynics, especially toward brothers and sisters in the Lord.
HISTORICAL, the Bible is a history of events as God inspired the writers (I Jo 1). Forty authors, multiple cultures, Three languages, 1500 years and all agree. Impossible w/o God in it. Many non-biblical writers wrote the same things. Josephus Tacitus, Pliney the Elder and Pliney the Younger, et al. Some of them non-believers.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL, many ancient cities thought not to exist found using the Bible. Evidence of The Exodus. Search YouTube for video of the chariots and misc spread across the sea where the Egyptian Army drowned chasing the Hebrews.
SCIENTIFIC, over a hundred science facts stated in the Bible thousands of years before 'modern' science discovered them. Round Earth, ocean vents, coriolis effect, hydrologic cycle, continental currents, many more. The Bible is the only 'religious' book with science in it.
PROPHECY fulfilled. Dozens of prophecies about Jesus no man could fulfill on purpose. Alexander the Great, his death, kingdom divided among his four generals, etc. Many more.
The evidence is overwhelming to anyone who seeks it.
Then when you have the knowledge and believe Jesus is Lord and God raised Him from the dead, the Holy Spirit comes into your life, indwelling you as He does all true believers, opening your heart and mind to Truth and an experiential relationship with Jesus Christ. You have no idea what that's like until you experience and grow in it. I pray you seek with an open mind.
Whether Christian or not, anyone who uses social media should only say (type) what they would be willing to say directly to anyone else FACE-TO-FACE, Hiding behind their device (smart phone, tablet, whatever) is actually cowardly...unless it is something they would want to say DIRECTLY to anyone who reads whatever they post.
James 4:11 "Don't criticize one another brothers. He who criticizes a brother or judges his brother criticizes the law and judges the law."
I'm curious about the phrase "inject truth" when it comes to the Christian faith being misrepresented. First off, let me say that I agree with FOTF about certain issues when it pertains to basic human decency: treating others with respect, loving thy neighbor, and the importance of family bonds (while we probably disagree on what an appropriate family looks like).
How would a Christian "inject truth" into the following: FOTF can be a dangerous organization that can manipulate its listeners and readers by perpetuating a dogmatic set of principles. They believe in something that can neither be proven true nor false (without omniscience) and can therefore "interpret" the Holy Bible in whatever way they see fit. Rather than reaching conclusions based upon ideologies and biases (a.k.a confirmation bias), one should strive for pragmatism.
The naysayer, of course, at this point will argue that true morality comes from god which I can not prove false as I do not know whether a god or gods exist. In this case, one must decide who the burden of proof falls upon: the party asserting that their view is correct or the party that cannot assert any view given a lack of sufficient evidence.
Another way I have seen Christians inject truth is by using the Bible. Using the Bible to prove that the Bible is correct is circular logic and should be avoided. But to insist that the Bible is correct in the first place is already committing a confirmation bias.
I do not wish that Christians go away or shut up. I hope, however, that they use the Bible as less of an absolute. If not, how do Christians choose what to believe and what not to and where is the distinction between literal and symbolic?
Interesting thoughts Thomas but I couldn't disagree more with your final paragraphs sentiments. Given your conclusions, I wish I could persuade you to consider authors like Josh McDowell and Lee Strobel. McDowell has written books like Evidence That Demands a Verdict and Its sequel More Evidence That Demands a Verdict and Strobel has written A Case for Christ. I understand that both of these men were atheists who set out to disprove the bible. As I understand it they both became believers as there research resulted in them proving scripture vs disproving biblical truth. If I thought of the bible as less of an absolute then there would be no since in my desire to walk closer and closer to God daily. It makes total since to me that you would draw your conclusions about God based on your stated thoughts here conveying your beliefs. In other words, your world view of God, expresses itself in your conclusions. One thing that is certain is that your conclusions carry no weight at all regarding God's existence. He doesn't exist because I believe he does. He just exist. He was there before I was born. He'll be there after I die. Have you ever wondered why Jesus Christ is the only religious leaders name used as a cuss word. You don't hear other religious leaders name profained as the name of Jesus. The answer is simple. Jesus is truly God, and the one true God. Satan is not interested in draging any other name in the dirt because he knows all other names belong to false Gods. Thomas i'll pray that God will reveal himself to you. He loves you profoundly!!
It is easy to play whataboutism in this case: I could point to contrary cases in which people started out as Christians and became more atheistic or agnostic. A couple of people changing their minds does not prove anything.
You say some pretty bold things for which you have no proof (because the Holy bible says so does not make it true). I will restate my last paragraph with your post in mind.
Christians should not try to convince others of what cannot be proven true nor false. Instead of trying to convert people so they join your team, people should be a positive influence on others without ulterior motives. Be good for the sake of being good.
(1) Thank you for your courage to be candid.
This list can be expanded considerably. The sequence does not correlate with utility value.
(3) My story: I gave up atheism after I candidly admitted to myself that if there is no God, all efforts of all persons (especially, selfishly myself included) will inevitably end in a nihilistic, timeless void of nothingness. All is vanity. Dogged, unforgiving nightmares of despairing futility relentlessly drove me to intensely, methodically examine the plausibility of a greater purpose than to eat, drink and be merry until death and nothingness. Additionally, other, far more intelligent believers (highly skilled, accomplished, highly credentialed professional scientists and engineers) demonstrated that seriously and consistently practicing profound and candid faith facilitates a professional practice and application of profoundly significant scientific research and application.
(4) Finally, do not fail to acknowledge the temporal pleasures,pursuits and practices of SIN ALWAYS OBSTRUCTS the profoundly satisfying and enduring joys of fellowship with your Creator.
If I seek the number 23 everywhere I might find it. If I look for conspiracies I will find them whether or not they are true (refer to what I wrote about confirmation bias). Why should I seek something for which there is no proof? Should I not, instead, focus on earthly matters such as building positive relationships, helping those in need, and being a positive role model for those around me?
The expectations for one of my jobs includes networking on social media. I often log out of Twitter...heartsick. Thank you for addressing this issue.
Thank you Jim Daly for encouraging us to think about how we engage with other people. Would that Christians were known by their love and wisdom on social media - towards those who don't yet love Jesus as well as those who claim to love Jesus. As Brené Brown points out, it's a serious danger when we use belittling and de-humanizing language to de-legitimize and even de-humanize others.
I'm saddened that we as followers of Jesus don't seem to be better at resisting this temptation in my nation (the U.S.). Instead, many seem to mostly care about "our team" winning - with that "end" justifying whatever means are used.
I'd go even further; as a Christian who has taught the Jewish roots of our faith to women's Bible studies, I spend time on the concept of Lashon HaRa - or evil tongue. It's quite a comprehensive concept and very scriptural. The apostle James would agree with everything here: http://www.aish.com/f/p/48936067.html -- it specifically tells us how to teach our children to be careful in their speech.
Thank you for this excellent observation and exhortation! I couldn't agree more! Especially that part roughly 3/4 of the way down about not ascribing a motive, don't assume the worst, ask more questions and make fewer statements.
May we all heed this advice.

Stadion Start – wielofunkcyjny stadion w Kijowie, stolicy Ukrainy. Został otwarty w 1939 roku.

Historia
Stadion, wówczas pod nazwą "Zenit", został wybudowany w latach 30. XX wieku i otwarty w 1939 roku dla pracowników pobliskiej piekarni. W trakcie II wojny światowej, podczas niemieckiej okupacji, na stadionie rozgrywano mecze piłkarskie, na które zezwolenie wydali okupanci. Jednym z nich było spotkanie rozegrane 9 sierpnia 1942 roku pomiędzy lokalną drużyną Start i zespołem Flakelf złożonym z żołnierzy Luftwaffe (zakończone wynikiem 5:3), które obrosło w legendę i jest znane jako tzw. "mecz śmierci" (tydzień po meczu piłkarze Startu zostali aresztowani, czterech z nich poniosło później śmierć z rąk Niemców, represje te uważane są za odwet za zwycięstwo w meczu).

Po wojnie stadion zmienił nazwę na "Awangard". W 1981 roku został z kolei przemianowany na "Start", na cześć zwycięskiej drużyny z legendarnego meczu śmierci. W tym samym roku obok stadionu odsłonięto również pomnik poświęcony piłkarzom Startu. W 2001 roku stadion uznano za obiekt o znaczeniu kulturowym. W roku 2010 arenę sprzedano jednak firmie deweloperskiej, która zamierzała zlikwidować obiekt i rozpocząć na jego terenie inwestycję. W ochronę stadionu zaangażowali się okoliczni mieszkańcy, tworząc inicjatywy obywatelskie, zachowanie obiektu obiecywał również mer Kijowa Witalij Kłyczko. Po zmiennych decyzjach sądowych ostatecznie w 2017 roku zatwierdzono decyzję o anulowaniu umowy o sprzedaży obiektu. W 2018 roku miasto ponownie stało się jego właścicielem. Planowana jest także modernizacja stadionu.

title: The Docker Wormhole Pattern
---

Building a Docker wormhole is easy.
<!-- more -->

> A wormhole is a special type of structure that some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected
>
> --- Cambridge Dictionaries Online

In Docker universe we have several uses cases, which require a Docker installation within a Docker container. For example the [OpenShift Builds][1] use images whose container's are meant to create application images. They include a whole development environment including possibly a compiler and a build tool. During the build a Docker daemon is accessed for creating the final application image.

The question is now, *how* a build can access the Docker daemon ? In general, there are two possibilities:

* [Docker in Docker][2] is a project which allows you to run a Docker daemon within a Docker container. Technically this is quite tricky and there seems to be some issues with this approach, especially because you have to run this container in [privileged mode][3]. This is the **Matryoshka doll pattern**.
* Or you use the **Wormhole pattern** described in this post. The idea is to get access to the Docker daemon running a container from within the container.

As you know a Docker host can be configured to be accessible by two alternative methods: Via a Unix socket or via a TCP socket.

Using the Unix socket of the surrounding docker daemon is easy: Simply share the path to the unix socket as a volume:

	# Map local unix socket into the container
	docker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ...

Then within the container you can use the Docker CLI or any tool that uses the Unix socket at usual.

Running over the TCP socket is a bit more tricky because you have to find out the address of your Docker daemon host. This can best be done by examining the routing table within the container:

	# Lookup and parse routing table
	host=$(ip route show 0.0.0.0/0 | \
	   grep -Eo 'via \S+' | \
	   awk '{print $2}');
	export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://${host}:2375

This works fine as long you are not using SSL. With SSL in place  you need have access to the SSL client certificates. Of course this is achieved again with a volume mount. Assuming that you are using boot2docker this could look like

	# Mount certs into the container
	docker run -ti -v ~/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/:/certs ....

This will mount your certs at `/certs` within the container and can be used to set the `DOCKER_HOST` variable.

	if [ -f /certs/key.pem ]; then
	 # If certs are mounted, use SSL ...
	 export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/certs
	 export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1
	 export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://${host}:2376
	else
	 # ... otherwise use plain http
	 export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=0
	 export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://${host}:2375
	fi

There is some final gotcha as that the server certificate can not be verified because it doesn't contain the docker host IP as seen from the container. See this [issue][4] for details. As workaround you have to `unset DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY` for the moment when using the docker client.

Both ways are useful and are [leaner and possibly more secure][5] than having a Matryoshka doll approach.

Finally there is still the question, why on earth *wormhole pattern* ? Like in a wormhole (also known as [Einstein-Rosen Bridge][6]) you can reach through the wormhole a point (the outer docker daemon) in spacetime which is normally not reachable (because a container is supposed to be its "own" world). Another fun fact: If you create a container through a wormhole this container it's not your daughter, its your sister. Feels a bit freaky, or ? Alternatively you could call it also **Münchhausen pattern**  because you create something with the exact the identically means you have been created yourself (like in the [Münchhausen trilemma][7]).

Or feel free to call it what you like ;-)

Annapolis Rocks
The Maryland ridgerunner starts.
April 4, 2020 April 5, 2020 / jim fetig	/ 1 Comment
Washington Monument State Park, Maryland, April 1, 2020, — It's that time of the year when mid-Atlantic ridgerunners begin their seasons, but how times have changed. This year we're in the middle of a global pandemic. That changes everything we do.
The new reality is grim. Safe social distance is the only way we can reduce the rate of infection so that our hospitals are not overrun with patients requiring critical care.
Annapolis Rock, Maryland. Greenbriar lake in the distance.
The popular trails are overcrowded to the degree that hikers are at risk; especially so at the signature locations. Most of them are relatively small sites and visitors are incapable of maintaining appropriate social distance from one another.
Wes's orientation at social distance.
The club, after much deliberation, honored the Maryland Park Service's request to hire one ridgerunner for the April – October season. Normally we have two in Maryland, a second one for a shorter season from Memorial Day – Labor Day. This year the Conservancy withdrew its share of funding, so the club and the state of Maryland could only afford to pay one.
Collectively we are concerned that if we withdraw from the trail we will not know what's going on. Even if hikers are banned, people will still be out there.
Our first principle is to keep the ridgerunner safe. Among other factors considered, we learned that, with the enormous noro virus outbreaks over the previous several years, not one ridgerunner has ever been infected.
Since the virility and vectors of transmission are similar, we reasoned the ridgerunners could keep themselves safe by observing the proper protocols. The ridgerunner also lives alone. No one is to enter his apartment until the state gives the all clear. He has a N-95 mask and gloves. Moreover, he will not sleep in the field until the governor lifts his ban.
Even the uniform has changed. No AT ridgerunner patches or hats. Only PATC livery.
To sum it up, normally we hire six ridgerunners. This year we plan three. One in Maryland, one in Northern Virginia and one in Shenandoah, if and when the park brings on its seasonal employees. Already the season's start has shifted from April 8 to May 10 at the earliest. Should the park close, it might not reopen in time to have a season.
The good news is that there are fewer hikers on the trails. On March 23 Tina and I hiked this section and the lot was full. On April one, it was empty. On our first hike to Annapolis Rock we counted less than half the number on March 23.
Wes discovered the true synonym for ridgeruner is janitor. The day started as expected. Plenty of trash to collect along the way. This is near Pine Knob shelter. The tin can spells rookie. If you pack it in, please pack it out!
Naturally there were illegal fire rings to break up and what's a ridgerunner without a frying pan found on the trail?
Leave No Trace principles say take only pictures and leave only footprints. Rock stacks are not on any list of allowable behavior that I know if. Sometimes it's fun to see how far you can throw them.
We have ridgerunners to help protect the environment and property. Not sure the sentiment here was to resist park service rules or the current federal administration. Either way, graffiti is unwelcome. A little Elephant Snot will make short work of this.
After picking up four gallons of trash in and around Annapolis Rock, we drove to Gathland State Park to point out the back trail to the Crampton Gap shelter; then on to Weverton Cliff to end the day.
One ridgerunner on duty.
A tale of two hikes on the Appalachian Trail
June 29, 2019 June 29, 2019 / jim fetig	/ 1 Comment
Me, Mary and Joanne at Nutter's Ice Cream, Sharpsburg, MD for a pre-hike treat.
Appalachian Trail, Maryland. June 27 – 28, 2019 — The Appalachian Trail is not all work. Sometimes it's a truckload of fun. So it was this week with two different gravel-crunching adventures.
Making a last gear check in the Penn-Mar Park parking lot.
My ridgerunner friend Mary decided to hike the 47-mile four-state challenge to celebrate her 45th birthday.
Her plan: Ridgerunner colleague Joanne would support her by car. Roughly speaking she would hike the first quarter alone. I would join her for the second quarter, and her colleague Witt, the current speed record holder at 9 hours and change, would trot the last half with her.
The adventure begins on the AT in PA at the Mason-Dixon line, then passes through MD and a corner of WV at Harpers Ferry. It terminates where the trail breaks into Virginia territory. To be official, the hikers have 24 hours to git 'er done. The average successful hiker uses close to the entire time.
It doesn't count without the predawn selfie.
Crack of dawn start.
She's a blur at Pen-Mar Park.
She's off!
Joanne met Mary at road crossings along the way. Staying hydrated on a hot day was paramount.

Unfortunately, this is the last known photo. After handing off Mary to Witt at Washington Monument State Park, about 8 miles later they encountered unforecast thunder, lightning and hail. The tenderizing effects of head-banging hail caused Mary to call the game at 32 miles.
Flash forward one day to the long-planned first hike of the season for the Gang of Four (minus one). Our plan: Annapolis Rock where Mary was on duty as ridgerunner/caretaker.

The 2019 Ridgerunner Season Begins
April 16, 2019 April 17, 2019 / jim fetig	/ 6 Comments
Sabine and Mary at Annapolis Rock, Maryland with Greenbriar Lake in background.
Appalachian Trail, Maryland and Shenandoah National Park, April 1 – 14, 2019 — Dawn cracked to reveal a chilly drizzle like the warmth a Sunday school teacher might project showing a little leg through clouds of petticoats. Right place. Wrong idea. Can't see that much, so up the mountain we marched.
Mary is a veteran ridgerunner some readers will recall from last year's blog entries about her service in Shenandoah. This season her Maryland tour is seven-months long. She will be reinforced by another ridgerunner from Memorial Day to Labor Day. She started on the auspicious First of April. No joke.
Sabine will be in Shenandoah National Park through early September. She arrived a tad early to observe and get to know Mary before launching her own long march toward autumn on her 102 miles of the AT she'll be patrolling some 55 miles southward.
Earlier Mary had kicked down winter's door, Hoovering up the off-season detritus like a caretaker opening a musty summer house long dormant. That's bags of trash to the uninitiated.
On her first morning sweep of the Pine Knob shelter she found two backpacks apparently abandoned on the floor. No note. That's more common than one may imagine. People get tired, wet, quit, and abandon their gear all the time. Regardless, they were available for animals to rummage. She decided to wait and see.
On her evening swing they were still there, so she packed them out tandem style to the Greenbriar State Park visitor center.
The knuckleheads called the park looking for them late in the evening. They'd been day hiking from the Pennsylvania border. Unfortunately the packs weren't available til morning. Sorry guys.
Off we marched to begin patrolling the area between Annapolis Rock and the Pogo campsite. Trash picking was easy.
Pogo, where a tree fell atop one of the iconic fire pits.
Ridgerunning is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to find – tent poles, plastic container and a rubber band slingshot.
Painted rocks have become a trend in the hiking world. We found one at Black Rock that seems to advertise a lake front development in Maryland. There will be follow up with the developer.

Please pad your anchors and save the trees.
Somebody actually tried a bear hang instead of hooking their food bag on one of the tines. This method actually makes it much easier for the bear to get the food. 😦
Sabine's OJT at Annapolis Rock was complete. On to Shenandoah.
Shenandoah day one starts in the backcountry office for orientation, paperwork and equipment issue. Then it's a hike to check the north boundary kiosk.
We made a side trip to hike the cult-like Piney Memorial Trail and paid our respects to the fallen. While there, the ridgerunner janitorial instinct kicked in.
The first overnight is at the luxurious Indian Run Maintenance Hut which is available to the ridgerunners when in the area.
First showdown with a hanging tangle. She drew her clippers faster than Gary Cooper in "High Noon" and cut that sucker down. Note the full trash bag.
Foundation of what was once intended to be a restroom for a "colored" picnic area that never was built.
Taking a break on a handy rock.
Second night at Gravel Spring. Not sure if the tree is apple, cherry or otherwise.
Sabine's trail name is "Foureyes." Not what you'd think for a hiker who's done the Appalachian Trail, the Long Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail while in between earning a PhD in physics.
Some people come to the trail ignorant, thoughtless and unprepared. Yes, it's what it appears to be. Digging cat holes to bury other people's feces is one of the more unappealing aspects of the job. You have to want to protect the trail with all of your heart to do this work.
Third night at Pass Mountain. The tree blew down on a campsite before the camper was there. It was a dark and stormy night. Really!
Watching the hawks atop Mary's Rock on a brilliant day.
Final night. Rock Spring.
Final day. Welcome to Jurassic Park. Come right in. Ummm, I mean Shenandoah National Park … May your hike toward autumn be a pleasant one.
New Ridgerunning Season Coming Soon.
March 12, 2019 March 15, 2019 / jim fetig	/ 8 Comments
Kensington, MD, March 12, 2019 — The snow drops are up! As sure as daylight savings time, snow drops are a natural alarm clock announcing it's time to get ready for a new season on the Appalachian Trail.
Here's the starting line up. Our first Shenandoah National Park Hoodlums trail crew work trip is this weekend. As reported here, there's still plenty of storm damage to clear.
No fooling, our first ridgerunner starts in Maryland April first. The second ridgerunner begins patrolling in Shenandoah on April 8. The remaining four are scheduled for mid-May. Project ahead two weeks and we're there. So, let's get ready to rock and roll!
We've been getting ready for awhile. The budget was submitted last year. The application deadline was January 31. Hiring occurred in February. The last of the supplies and equipment arrived last week.
First to arrive was six Bear Vault BV 450 bear canisters. These are the half-size canisters with a four-day capacity. They are very difficult for a bear to open or break. I'm certain Yogi and Boo Boo hate them, but I can all but guarantee that Mr. Ranger loves them.
Why bear canisters? The number of human-bear encounters is increasing each year. The 2018 reported incidents are at this link: ATC 2018 Bear Incident List
Some of these incidents included stolen food bags and damaged tents. Fortunately there were no injuries though there have been nasty injuries and even a death in previous years.
Bears become food conditioned because careless backpackers, day hikers and others leave food or food trash at or near shelter areas and campsites. Ultimately bears learn to identify shelters, tents and backpacks with food.
Camera studies by the National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service show the first place bears go in camp is the fire pit because people toss food trash thinking it will burn. It does not burn completely so the residue continues to attract bears long after the fire is out.
Once bears associate humans or places where human's congregate with food, the potential for trouble compounds when bears lose their natural fear of people.
Bear canisters make it difficult for a bear to get a food reward. Ridgerunners uniformed presence on the trail affords them visibility. The weight of the example they set by carrying bear canisters complements the educational component of their mission.
We experimented last season by having some of our ridgerunners carry BV 500 canisters loaned to us by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. They voted unanimously for the smaller version. Comparison of a BV 450 and the larger BV 500 on the right. The stickers help tell them apart. The reflective tape helps find them of an animal decides to bat one around.
Additional equipment includes 12-inch folding saws, clippers, SAM splints, and work gloves. The rope and tarps help cover the caretaker area at Annapolis Rock.
Meanwhile I have recovered from off-season Dupuytren's release surgery. I have two more impacted fingers on my other hand and hope they can wait until September.
Next stop. Setting up the caretaker area at Annapolis Rock. Can't wait.
Last Ridgerunner Hike of the Season
September 1, 2018 / jim fetig	/ 5 Comments
Appalachian Trail in Maryland, August 24 – 26, 2018 — In spite of the horrible heat, smothering humidity and the drenching rains we've enjoyed all summer, autumn is skulking on the next calendar page and that signals the time when the clock expires for all but one of our ridgerunners.
The last man standing remains on duty in Maryland until Halloween hoarfrost beards the pumpkin patch.
Still, the season's not over until it's over. We made time to celebrate the season's finale with a final jaunt across Maryland's 42 AT miles.
Kiki and I cinched up our hip belts and headed southward from the Mason-Dixon line, to Harpers Ferry. I always forget this route is a little more challenging than hiking the other way around. People say the trail in Maryland isn't rocky. Not so, as my blistered boots will gladly attest. Best of all, hiking southbound front loads the best of the abrasive boulder fields.
Kiki carried a hoe to clear clogged waterbars (drains) on what proved to be a waterlogged trail.
Initially we didn't set a goal for the day because we got a late start which was the result of stashing my car in Harpers Ferry. We decided to see how the day would unfold.
Of note, Maryland is one of the most hiked portions of the AT with millions of people from the greater metro areas between Philadelphia and Washington living within a two-hour drive. Consequently, no dispersed camping is allowed to help protect the environment. To compensate, there are shelters and campgrounds conveniently spaced along the way. We suffered no worries about finding a place to camp.
We made excellent time in spite of finding several gallons of trash. We measure trash by estimated volume rather rather than estimated weight for closer accuracy. Occasionally, we stopped to enjoy the views after breaking up an illegal fire ring or two.
Penultimately we thought we'd drop anchor at Pogo campground. (Yes, it's that "the enemy is us" Pogo.) But, long before we reached Pogo, we remembered Annapolis Rock is just a couple of miles further, and there our colleague Harry would be in residence as caretaker.
At our pace, we'd arrive slightly at the end of evening nautical twilight, but having the company and hanging out at the caretaker's picnic table was worth the energy expenditure.
Caretaker's tent.
As it happened, we literally stumbled in, tripping over stones because we weren't using our headlamps with the intent of pranking Harry. In the gloom, Harry didn't recognize us as we pretended to be thoughtless hikers intent on breaking all the Annapolis Rock rules like building a fire and camping on the overlook. Ya had to have been there to appreciate the dialog before we ended the charade.
Two years ago, in a one in a million tragedy, a dead tree fell and killed a camper at Maryland's Ed Garvey shelter. Since then trees of concern are quickly removed. Recently, we traded safety for aesthetics in the caretaker's area.
Insects had invaded the wounded area and hollowing was present in the trunk.
From Annapolis Rock, a reasonably strong hiker can comfortably reach Harper's Ferry the next day. However there was a risk of arriving too late to catch the shuttle to the National Park Service's remote lot and my car.
So, expecting unusually good weather for this sopping wet year, and therefore a busy Saturday, we decided to hike to the Crampton Gap shelter. That would leave an easy 10 miles for Sunday morning. It proved to be a solid decision when we coached a large group of young men on how to party without ruining the evening for everyone else.
On the way to Crampton, we stopped to inspect and clean up the shelter at Rocky
Run. We found a supermarket bag with a week's worth of hiker food hanging on the bear pole.
Why would someone leave that much food where it was? We checked with some campers. It wasn't theirs. It was there when they came.
The food could have been leftover from an individual hiker or one of the many college freshman orientation groups currently on the trail. It also might have been a misguided attempt by a trail angel. Regardless, it's irresponsible behavior to leave food anywhere in the woods. The good news: Kiki didn't have to buy supplies for his final week on trail.
Speaking of college freshman orientation groups, we met students from Loyola University of Maryland (Baltimore) on the trail and stopped briefly to chat. They seemed like an agreeable group. Only at Ed Garvey, where they'd camped the previous evening, did we discover the present they'd left for us in the privy's wood chip barrel.
Thanks Loyola for more trash then we could pack out. Then we wonder why the number of problem bears is increasing. I'll be sending a letter to the university with an offer of free Leave No Trace education this spring when they train rising seniors to be student leaders.
But, there's more …
Survivalists and preppers are among the many subcultures on the trail. They are sometimes called camosexuals, a label that is a twist on the Hipster lumbersexual subculture. Unfortunately, if everyone strip mined live vegetation like this, the shelter and camping areas would look like moonscapes. This was within sight of the shelter.
This makeshift shelter would have been worthless in wet weather. Moreover, nowhere on the Appalachian trail is this appropriate. If you really want to do this, the national forests and some state forests are happy to oblige.
We found this fire ring and grill half way between Ed Garvey and Harpers Ferry. Not a bad field expedient attempt at making a grill from green wood and wire. Again, fires and dispersed camping are verboten in Maryland. But if you are willing to risk an expensive ticket, why not clean up your mess? Please! Leave No Trace.
A Curtain Falls
October 31, 2016 / jim fetig	/ 9 Comments
Annapolis Rocks, Maryland, October 31, 2016 — Today the final curtain descended on the 2016 ridgerunner season, and an anticlimactic ending it was.
This morning I dashed up to Annapolis Rocks to meet Kyle, our long-term Maryland ridgerunner. Together we struck the caretaker's tent, packed up the gear and marched it down the mountain for storage in the apartment the ridgerunners share at Washington Monument State Park.

The view is always spectacular.
Thanks both to Kyle and to Robin, whose season ended Labor Day, for their dedication and hard work caretaking at Annapolis Rock and ridgerunning on the Appalachian Trail in Maryland.
Ironically it's Halloween, admittedly a scary day. After today, with the scolds gone, you are not free to trash the woods. That would be really scary.
The Easy State
September 1, 2015 September 2, 2015 / jim fetig	/ 8 Comments
Max Mishkin and Dan Smith are the AT ridgerunners in Maryland
Maryland Appalachian Trail, August 28 – 29, 2015 — Many hiking guides list Maryland as the easiest state on the Appalachian Trail. Here the AT is a relatively flat ridgewalk, mostly on South Mountain. It has its share of rocks, but nothing compared to those to be experienced north and south of here. In that sense, Maryland is fortunate.
In contrast, Maryland has the misfortune of being easy and close to the millions who live in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metro areas. That's a lot of people, many of whom take the shortest path to the AT section nearest home. It's a recipe for over use and abuse. That may be why the state funds two ridgerunners for just 38 miles. One starts early and the other stays through October.
On Saturday Dan Smith and I hiked from Weverton Cliffs to Gathland State Park. These gentle miles unfold quickly. Even the hump to the top of the cliffs isn't an outrageous challenge. Pretty much any able bodied person can make it. Come at it from Gathland and the physical challenge is even easier.
Relative to the work Lauralee and I did last week in Shenandoah National Park, this southern chunk of Maryland was a piece of cake. Still, I was surprised at the amount of trash we policed up – ranging from micro trash like mylar snack wrappers to discarded/forgotten clothing. Dan said it was a light weekend. Note to self: Remember this for next year.
We also broke up a couple of illegal fire rings too. Fires, except at designated fire pits at the shelters, are illegal in Maryland, but some people just don't seem to care.
Dan is an amiable Pennsylvanian and mechanical engineer who appreciates being outdoors. He's thru hiked both the Appalachian Trail (AT, 2,200 miles) and the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT, 2,600 miles from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon and Washington, featured in "Wild.")
Next year Dan's off to hike the Continental Divide Trail (CDT, 3,100 miles from Mexico to Canada via New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.) It's the last leg of his triple crown and I have no doubt he'll nail it. The ridgerunner community will miss him.
After repositioning Dan's car, I left him to rush northward to spend the night at Annapolis Rocks with Max Mishkin. I made camp about two minutes before I needed to turn on my headlamp.
The two Maryland ridgerunners rotate so that there's always a caretaker on site at the Rocks. It didn't take long to figure out why.
Caretaker's tent at Annapolis Rocks. I hung my hammock nearby.
Annapolis rocks is the Grand Central Station of Maryland's AT section. On a nice weekend, several hundred people per day have been known to visit. Most are neophyte day trippers who are unaware of the Leave No Trace principles. Consequently trash and cigarette butts figuratively snow from their presence.
Outdoor organizations also frequent the Rocks. Scouts and Outward Bound groups are common. Camping is restricted to a limited number of designated sites and no fires are allowed.
As I was walking in, a disgruntled father with a couple of sons was moving out with the speed of the approaching darkness. It seems that the father brought the boys to one of the most sensitive and protected places in Maryland to show his boys how to build a fire and make a lean-to. Max caught them hacking live trees and starting a fire.
Rather than camp the right way, they packed up when Max didn't allow them to continue their activities. The damage they caused was sadly obvious when we cleaned up the site the following morning. As some of my military friends put it, "You can't fix stupid."
The upside to caretaking at Annapolis Rocks is obvious. People seem to love a guy with patches on his shirt. I think we found Max at central casting.
Max is a jovial extrovert from Connecticut who graduated from William and Mary. Since then, he's knocked about in political campaigns and paralegal work. On his days off, he volunteers like I do at the Appalachian Trail Conservancy Visitor Center. In early November he plans to hike Vermont's Long Trail. I'm planning to be on that trip too if circumstances permit. I love the challenges of winter hiking.
Two Outward Bound groups came in turn to climb the rocks. This is a climbing favorite in Maryland. The highest rated climb, Black Crack, is 5.9 on the Yosemite decimal system because it has an overhang. The others are non-technical but do require rope protection. It's a long drop to terra firma.
I love to see young folks learning how to climb. The rock is a hard sandstone infused with calcite. The cracks and fissures make excellent and safe handholds.
The youngster on the right did an excellent job.
Say it ain't so! Buckle up your overshoes. The seasonal transition is beginning.


What is the US to CAD Currency Cross?
The USD/CAD currency pair represents the quoted rate for exchanging US to CAD, or, how many Canadian dollars one receives for every US dollar. For example, a USD/CAD rate of 1.25 means 1 US dollar is equivalent to 1.25 Canadian dollars – or conversely stated, that it takes 1.25 Canadian dollars to equal 1 US dollar.

Below is a chart of the US to CAD exchange rate over the last 10 years, from 2008 to 2018. As you will notice, the FX rate has been anywhere between 0.94 and 1.46 over that time period.
The two currencies have been relatively close to each other in value over the past decade. Interestingly during this time period, they have flipped back and forth between which has been the stronger currency. But it was only in the period of 2011-2012 that the Canadian dollar was actually worth more than the US dollar (when the USD/CAD exchange rate briefly dipped below 1.00). From late 2008 – when the full impact of the 2008 financial crisis was hitting the US – to mid 2011, the Canadian dollar was strengthening against the US dollar. Since 2011-2012, however, the USD has shown renewed strength and increased in value relative to the CAD, as shown by the strong uptrend in USD/CAD that drove the exchange rate substantially higher into mid 2015. During that same time period, the US dollar was generally in an uptrend against most of the other major currencies as well.
Since Canada and the US are neighboring countries, the exchange rate has a big impact on business, tourism, and lifestyles.
When the US dollar is stronger, there is some migration of manufacturing and labor outsourcing to Canada in an effort to lower costs. Additionally, there is more importation of goods from Canada into the US, and Americans will be more likely to go on vacation or buy properly in Canada, as it is comparatively cheaper.
The opposite is true when the Canadian dollar is stronger. Firms will tend to import more from the US into Canada and Canadians will be more likely to vacation and buy real estate In America.

Q: Roots of the derivative of a nice polynomial function (with explicit roots) Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and consider the polynomial function $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ given by $$
f(x):=x^2(x^2-a_1^2)^2(x^2-a_2^2)^2...(x^2-a_n^2)^2,
$$
where $a_1,...,a_n\in\mathbb{R}$, all different, i.e. $a_i\neq a_j$ for all $i\neq j$. It is very clear that all roots of $f(x)$ are exactly located at $x=0,\pm a_1,...,\pm a_n$. Is there any chance to "easily" obtain where are located the roots of $\tfrac{d}{dx}f(x)$? Up to now, by explicitly differentiating I've seen that $\tfrac{d}{dx}f(x)$ has $2n+1$ roots located at $x=0,\pm a_1,...,\pm a_n$, but I am still missing the remaining $2n$ other roots (the most complicated ones, because there seem to be a combination of factors). Is there any chance (or clever way) to do it? At least to understand more or less where they should be located? Or maybe a reason why I shouldn't expect to get these roots so easily?

A: Writing $a_0=0$ and $a_{-i}=-a_i$, the given polynomial is $$p(x)=x^2\prod_{i=1}^n(x^2-a_i^2)^2=q(x)^2$$ where $q(x)=\prod_{i=-n}^n(x-a_i)$ is a polynomial of degree $2n+1$.
Therefore $p'(x)=2q(x)q'(x)$ has the same roots as $q(x)$ and $q'(x)$ combined. Those of $q(x)$ are the $2n+1$ mentioned in the question. The remaining ones are the roots of $q'(x)$. There are $2n$ of them and they lie in between the roots of $q(x)$, that is, $a_i<b_i<a_{i+1}$. For a proof of this, see Kyle's answer in
Relation between real roots of a polynomial and real roots of its derivative.

Hemp used to be used for many things: clothes, cars, plastics, building materials, rope, paper, linens, food, medicine and so on. In fact, it used to be mandatory in the United States for farmers to grow hemp if they had the land. There are plenty more stats regarding hemp you can find here.
People who do not follow the Attorney Generals 2013 Constitution will be going to prison according to Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe "Frank" Bainimarama.
The people of Fiji have waited six years for a good, fair and enduring constitution and they are doomed to be disappointed.
Our celebration for the revival of Fiji Airways is a great event in our country's history.
But we are forgetting something — the man who founded the airline. There has been no mention of him.
In his time he was famous. The first man to fly around the world, with the American Wiley Post, in the single-engine Lockheed Vega in 1931. Eight days around the world. He set other flying records, across the U.S.A., and the first effort (unsuccessful) to fly across the Pacific, from Japan to Seattle, with Harold Bromley, a Canadian.
In the late 'thirties, he was instrumental in selecting Nadi as Fiji's international airport (built largely by NZ Air Force). He established the first commercial overseas flights to both New Zealand and Australia, with the Boeing 42 ton Clipper flying boats of Pan American Airways. They flew into Auckland and Sydney. And he opened virtually all the airport facilities throughout the South Pacific, Samoa, Guam, Midway, Wake Island, I remember. As a youngster, I often travelled with him.
Then he established Fiji Airways, based out of Nausori. I remember it well, more than sixty years ago.
It was not just aviation. It was a major step in his vision for tourism, as a major industry of Fiji. The notion of the Blue Lagoon cruises was his idea, and he had me sail about to find islands and villages for tourists to visit. He delegated that business to a Kiwi, known as Withers, since he was busy with Fiji Airways.
He also contributed some notions of diversification of Fiji agriculture, namely vanilla, and spices, an effort he charged me with fulfilling. That is another vision that is worthy of recognition.
When he died, Government buildings flew their flags at half-mast, an unusual gesture for the death of a private person. Australia, his country of origin, built a monument for him in Campbelltown, Tasmania, where he was born. And the main road to the Hobart airport bears his name. Australia commemorated him with postage stamp. But he is buried in Suva, in Fiji that has forgotten him. Let us remember — Harold Gatty. He was a great pioneer, one who helped lay the foundations for our now independent and proud little nation. Let us remember him, and honour him. There would be no Fiji Airways were it not be for him. Lest we forget.
THE ATTORNEY GENERALS 2013 DRAFT CONSTITUTION IS THE FINAL NAIL IN THE FIJI PENSIONERS COFFINS, BECAUSE UNLIKE THE YASH GHAI DRAFT WHICH 7000 CITIZENS CONTRIBUTED TO, THE ATTORNEY GENERALS DRAFT FORBIDS THE REVIEW OF ANY OF HIS DECREES, WHICH HE HAS ALSO EXTENDED TO HIS TERMINATIONS OF COURT PROCEEDINGS.
"The principles of a free constitution are irrevocably lost when the legislative power is nominated by the executive". (Decline & Fall of The Roman Empire Ch3).
THIS DRAFT CONSTITUTION DEPRIVES THE PENSIONERS OF HOPE, JUSTICE AND BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS AND IT SEEMS OUR PRIME MINISTER COULD NOT CARE LESS !!!!! HIS ARSE IS SAFE AND HIS FUTURE SECURE….HE HAS GIVEN THE PUBLIC INADEQUATE TIME TO RESPOND, AND IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHAT THE PUBLIC SAY, THERE WILL BE NO CHANGES TO THE ATTORNEY GENERALS DRAFT CONSTITUTION.. A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE.
Any amendments to Fiji's new constitution will have to be approved by majority of the registered voters and parliament.This is a major proposal in the draft constitution as it states that if a bill for the amendment to the constitution is passed by three quarters of the members of parliament, then it will be referred to the Electoral Commission to conduct a referendum for all registered voters to vote on the proposed amendment.
If three quarters of the registered voters who have participated in the process have voted in favour of the bill, then the President must assent to the bill.
However, the draft constitution prepared by the government legal team which is now out for the views from the public states that immunity granted under the 1990 constitution should continue and there should be further immunity for December 2006 and the events following that.
The Newfoundland Department of Employment claimed a boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent to Burin to investigate him.
Use the power of the sun, if you cannot afford a solar water heater in Fiji, try a coil of 50 metres of 25mm black PVC pipe on your roof, a very low cost water heater.


God continued to reveal his Kingdom to the Children of Israel in Genesis and it separated them from the pagans around them. There is one God…not many gods. Man is created in the image of God; with dignity and identity. Work and be fruitful. Initiative is rewarded. All of these revelations are basic building blocks of the Biblical Worldview.
Next God taught them the importance of individual freedom, a concept foreign to the ancient pagan world. The pagan world was enslaved by superstitiously believing that spirits controlled everything in the universe. Tribalism and slavery made the lack of personal freedom worse. In the ancient tribes, the chiefs ruled and owned everything. Tribes that were conquered by other tribes were commonly enslaved by their new masters. People saw themselves as helpless with no way to improve their personal place in the world. Slaves were thought to be slaves by fate and people were very fatalistic.
In the midst of this came the biblical revelation that people were created in the image of God. People have a free will. God created people with the ability to make decisions, and subsequently improve their lives. They have certain rights given to them by their creator. God took the descendants of Abraham out of slavery in Egypt. He did not allow the Hebrews to remain slaves. He would soon teach them to think like free people. Only when people are free do they advance.
Individual freedom is central to the Biblical worldview…for the ancient Hebrews and the Christian today.

Mary Astell, född 12 november 1666 i Newcastle upon Tyne, död 11 maj 1731 i London, var en engelsk författare, feminist och retoriker. Hennes försvar av utbildning för kvinnor har gjort henne känd som Englands första feminist.

Mary Astell var dotter till den välbärgade kolfabrikören Peter Astell och Mary Errington  och tillbringade sin barndom i Newcastle upon Tyne. Hennes far avled då hon var tolv år gammal, och eftersom familjens pengar investerades i hennes brors utbildning, fick hon och hennes bror leva på en släktings välgörenhet. På grund av sitt kön fick hon ingen formell utbildning, men däremot en hög informell bildning av sin farbror Ralph. Efter sin mors död 1688 flyttade hon till London, där hon tack vare familjens kontakter kunde komma in i en litterär krets som publicerade hennes arbeten. Hon hade stöd av en litterär krets av kvinnor bestående av bland andra Lady Mary Chudleigh, Elizabeth Thomas, Judith Drake, Elizabeth Elstob och Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.

Mary Astell var en av de ledande rösterna i det samtida Londons intellektuella kretsar och blev känd och respekterad för sin förmåga att debattera. Hon kritiserade äktenskapet som institution och pekade på hur utsatt en kvinna kunde bli om hon valde fel make på grund av att lagen gav mannen all laglig makt. Hon är mest känd för att ha förespråkat skolor och institutioner för utbildning av kvinnor, och hon talade för grundandet av "nunneskolor" för kvinnor. Descartes dualism underbyggde hennes försvar av tesen att kvinnor hade lika stor möjlighet som män att kunna förstå teoretisk utbildning. Hennes kanske mest kända citat var: Om alla Män föds fria, varför föds då alla kvinnor som slavar?

Mary Astell avled till följd av en operation för att avlägsna en cancertumör ur det ena bröstet.

Graphic Design Sessional Instructor Susan Campbell has been awarded the Going Solo Juror's Choice Award for her sculpture installation called "Zoned Out" at the Nth Degree, a juried exhibition of works that uses numbers or mathematics, currently taking place at the Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles, Missouri. Two of her works are included in this exhibition.
"Zoned Out is a sculptural installation comprising of a large clearance zone, flanked by clusters of smaller zones, which converge and unfold on top of one another, competing and jostling for monopoly of a finite space. The homogeneity of the forms stems from a branch of urban semiotics associated with urban planning. The actual forms themselves are mapped and modelled from clearance zones found in public and private parking lots located in Oshawa's central core.
The title Zoned Out refers to the use of urban planning tools and the potential exclusionary impact of zoning ordinances to segregate certain demographics while marginalizing or displacing others.
With this in mind, the installation amounts to a mapping of socially contentious zones, while attempting to document and interpret patterns of urbanization, pedestrian safety, and rezoning strategies."

The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets (VAAFM) announces grants totaling $332,632.61 for twelve projects to benefit Vermont producers of fruits, vegetables, nursery stock, maple, wine grapes, and value-added products and to increase consumer access to locally produced food. These grants, funded through the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service�s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP), were awarded to nine agricultural organizations to undertake a range of research, technology development, education, marketing, and program-building projects. The grants will leverage over $183,000 in additional matching funds.
Since 2006, the Vermont SCBGP has invested over $2.6 million in projects to benefit Vermont specialty crop producers, including the awards announced today. The program supports projects led by both producers and agricultural service providers, including a recently-completed project, Building the Demand for Fruits and Vegetables in Vermont Schools ($35,499 awarded in 2015), directed by Abbie Nelson of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT).
The Building the Demand for Fruits and Vegetables in Vermont Schools project focused on schools in two counties, promoting the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable program by increasing the effectiveness of incorporating Vermont produce into school food programs. NOFA-VT connected schools and producers through co-hosting farmer-food service forums, provided technical assistance and training to food service providers and teachers, and launched a statewide marketing campaign to promote local foods in schools.

60 theatre performances are going to be organized (in total) in the different partner countries. The performances are going to be organized in the theaters of the partner organisations. The directors of all the partners are going to visit each partners' country in the period of the staging of the performance in order to see it, take inspiration and provide feedback. Specific effort is going to be made in order to gain access to hard to reach audiences such as immigrants or people from low socio-economic background that usually do not attend theater performances.
1/ Costume Exhibition with costumes from the performances that are going to be exhibited before the performance on specific mannequins where the audience (children and adults) are going to be able to see and enjoy before the performance. As far as the costumes that are going to be wore by the artists of the performance, the dressing procedure is going to be made- in specific performances- in a special introductive action. In the framework of this action, while the audience is waiting looking at the exhibition, the artists are going to enter in the room in a ritual way accompanied by music and will take the costumes off the mannequins, they will wear them and after they are going to invite the audience in the central scene of the theatre where they will begin the performance. In this way, the mythical motives of the creation of the world is going to be introduced by an action of the creation of the world of the performance/ theatre/ scenery event. The audience will not just see a performance like all the others but it will participate actively in a ritual.
2/ Parallel open artistic creations. The partners that will select this parallel action are going to invite artists to create pieces of art (drawings, sculptures, collage, photos, happenings, video art and much more) inspired by the performances of the partners, the exhibitions, the workshops and the other project activities.
3/ Workshops. Workshops are going to be organized for the public that is going to be interested focusing on common elements of the mythological intangible cultural heritage of the partner countries. These workshops can include: a) Mask Creation b) Costumes c) Acting (with the emphasis on the mythological theatre).
