On Sunday Germany turns its clocks back to mark the end of Central European Summer Time. It's a tradition that's been part of German calendars for the past 25 years - but does it do us any good?
According to its advocates, changing the clocks saves energy, gives us longer summer nights to enjoy and allows us to make the most of the short days in the winter when we work or go to school.
Bavarians, for a start, think the whole thing is a waste of time.
Seventy-two percent of the population of Germany's southernmost state would be in favour of abolishing the twice-yearly clock changes, according to a survey published on Thursday - an increase from 69 percent last year.
Reasons expressed ranged from being left feeling run down (81 percent reported this feeling) to lacking concentration (40 percent). Fifteen percent even reported experiencing depressive moods as a result of the time switch.
The Bavarian economy minister Ilsa Aigner has even launched a bid to abolish the twice-yearly tradition, although she acknowledges that scrapping the changes would only make sense if the whole of Europe were to do the same.
But it's not only the somewhat eccentric southerners who feel this way.
The Federal Office for the Environment also deems it unnecessary, arguing that energy saved in the summer is offset by the heating we use when we get up in the dark in winter time.
What's more, some studies have shown that on the Monday after the change to summer time traffic accidents are more likely.
Farmers also complain that animals find it hard to adjust to the sudden change in feeding times.
But on the bright side, on Sunday we can all enjoy an extra hour in bed. And don't forget to change you clock before work on Monday!

Judges block Little Sisters' religious exemption from contraception mandate

Judges in California and Pennsylvania have issued injunctions against a Trump administration rule that would allow the Little Sisters of the Poor and similar groups to claim a religious exemption against the Department of Health and Human Services so-called Contraception Mandate.
Judge Haywood Gilliam of the U.S. District Court for Northern California issued a preliminary injunction Jan. 13 that affects 13 states plus the District of Columbia in the case State of California v. HHS. Gillam declined to issue the nationwide injunction requested by the plaintiffs, the attorneys general of several states led by California.
Responding to the ruling, Mark Rienzi, president of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, said Sunday's decision "will allow politicians to threaten the rights of religious women like the Little Sisters of the Poor," whom the Becket Fund represents.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone issued a nationwide injunction blocking the same rule in her decision for the case Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Trump.
"We never wanted this fight, and we regret that after a long legal battle it is still not over," said Mother Loraine Marie Maguire of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
"We pray that we can once again devote our lives to our ministry of serving the elderly poor as we have for over 175 years without being forced to violate our faith."
In October 2017, the Trump administration issued a new rule that would expand the eligibility of groups to claim religious exemptions to the contraceptive mandate. The new rule was set to go into effect on Monday.
California attorney general Xavier Becerra filed suit against the Trump administration over the new rule shortly after it was announced, and was joined by 12 other states and the District of Columbia.
The Little Sisters of the Poor, and many other religious-based organizations, were not eligible under previous religious exemptions to the mandate since they do not exclusively employ or serve people of their religion.
The Sisters argue that forcing them to offer an insurance plan that provides birth control pills and devices to their employees would violate their religious beliefs.
Rienzi said in a statement Monday that the Little Sisters will return to court to fight the injunctions.
"Now the nuns are forced to keep fighting this unnecessary lawsuit to protect their ability to focus on caring for the poor," said Rienzi.
"We are confident these decisions will be overturned."

Home/News/'The Fight Within' Hits Theaters Aug. 12 in a Faith-Film Cage Match from GVN Releasing
'The Fight Within' Hits Theaters Aug. 12 in a Faith-Film Cage Match from GVN Releasing
Bigg UU July 6, 2016 News Leave a comment
L to R: Director Michael William Gordon with John Major Davis and Mike Taylor.
THE FIGHT WITHIN—a muscular faith film set in the rough-and-tumble world of MMA (mixed martial arts)—premieres in limited theatrical release, nationwide Aug. 12, from GVN Releasing. With a mashup of faith, fighting and romance, the film's producers aim to attract a wide audience.
"Faith films tend to draw faith audiences," Jim Davis, executive producer and screenwriter, said. "This movie should also engage people with no sense of faith because inner struggle is universal. A cage and a fight are spot-on metaphors to show a young man coming to terms with who he is and what life brings."
As the film develops, THE FIGHT WITHIN tells a story of courage, hope, love and growing faith in God. Meanwhile, in Davis' words: "A bare-knuckled mixed martial arts action film is not a traditional faith-based film, but we hope to engage a more diverse audience and share a message of hope and salvation through our story."
Audience response to screenings this summer backs Davis up:
"Something for everyone."
"You can bring your whole family and walk out and feel uplifted."
Davis is an ordained minister who now puts his faith in action in the business world as owner of a digital marketing company. Seeing the need for a faith-based film about the search for identity, he began to develop the storyline.
THE FIGHT WITHIN stars John Major Davis, Lelia Symington and Matt Leddo. Also featured are Mike Taylor, UFC Heavyweight champion Dan Severn and Wesley Williams. Michael William Gordon directs. Following the film's theatrical run, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release THE FIGHT WITHIN on all home entertainment formats.
In the film, Logan Chandler (John Major Davis) is a rising star in the world of mixed martial arts, but when his father, an MMA Champion, dies while training him, Logan leaves the ring not sure about who he is anymore. He finds a personal faith and romance with a young woman of deep faith (Lelia Symington), and seeks to overcome a troubled past and establish a new life. His new faith is tested when a local MMA professional (Matt Leddo)—whose only losing fight was to Logan—forces him back into the cage.
As writer and executive producer, Davis worked to ensure that the film's fight scenes accurately depict an MMA match. John Major Davis and Leddo trained daily, for months, with professional fighters. THE FIGHT WITHIN cast also features MMA Hall of Fame member Dan Severn as Logan's father, and Mixed Martial Arts veteran and fight choreographer Mike Taylor.
"We fully expect some fans to see it just for the fight realism," Davis said. "For authentic action, we've had viewers rank it far above a certain more well-known cage-fight movie." In fact, while principal film shooting was in Tuscaloosa, the climactic fight scene was filmed at a professional MMA event in Mississippi.
"People don't think about why they make the choices they make; we want them to leave the theaters asking what if: What if I did it God's way?" Davis said.

If you listened to the latest episode of our podcast then you know we promised a couple of Christmas Playlists for you from Black Todd.


The president of the Drumheller and District Humane Society is appalled, but not terribly surprized to hear that someone threw a box of kittens into a local dumpster this week.
The GFL driver heard the animals meowing just before he went to empty the dumpster behind Yavis Family Restaurant on Tuesday morning.
"It's something that we have happen every season: every spring, summer, fall, winter we encounter something like this," stated Kelcy Travis. "I just really, really want to stress to people that we will take them, we will help even if we're full."
"The majority of times we're full," she explained. "We have, always, a ton of cats and kittens that need to come in, but we will help: we'll find a foster home, we'll do whatever we have to do to prevent this from happening."
The four white kittens were rescued and turned over to the Humane Society, which is housing them at its Drumheller shelter.
"If you have an animal, any animal that you can't take care of for whatever reason, we won't judge, we'll be there, we'll help," maintained Travis. "I'd rather the animals come to us than see this happen."
Travis adds they could use some more donations to help pay for things like vet bills and pet food and litter.


In my Junior year of High School (yes, I can still remember that long ago), I ventured into an Honors English class. Above the general English, but well below the AP level, thank God. The man who taught the class remains one of the best teachers I've ever had. Part of the reason is that he terrified me. The other part is the amount that I learned. Overall, a few things stick with me from that class: 1) the words plethora, penultimate and ergo; and 2) the idea of the Renaissance Man (or in this case, Woman – me).
When we were asked in that class to raise our hand if we knew a modern Renaissance Man, I did. Because I not only know what I feel is a Renaissance Man, I also know a Renaissance Woman. This post will address my very own Renaissance Man.
That man is my father. My dad preferred to read the paper or McLean's rather than watch TV, and to listen to classical music or the news. He made my sister and I help him around the house fixing things, painting, cutting the grass, raking leaves… You did NOT sit in front of the TV on the weekends in my house. Now granted the TV was most likely ON and tuned to the current golf tournament. Just in case Dad needed an iced tea or something… But you did NOT change the channel. And, God help you if you moved any of his tools and did not put them back exactly where they started. I can't even tell you the number of times he came home from work, went to his work bench and yelled out my name… Most often, I had borrowed a small screwdriver to repair my clarinet or another tool for my euphonium, and put it back in the wrong spot, if at all.
My parents took us alone and together to a number of Ice Capade shows at the Civic Arena. I remember once my dad told me we were going somewhere, he wouldn't tell me where. I think there's a picture of me, taken by my mom before we left, standing outside of the big brown car we owned. I remember getting to the show and being incredibly excited that my dad did this for me. For me.
My sister and I were total tom-boys. Not what my mom would have dreamed of, but I think we were less of an issue than two boys. The two of us as boys would have been a nightmare. Especially me. And according to my mom, when my sister and I were young, my dad decided that his girls would be able to do everything we wanted to do. This can be summed up by the fact that both of us are more than willing to take on our fare share of the labor in a situation, and well, we are stubborn. My mom thinks it's one of the places they went wrong as parents. My sister and I are most thankful for this.
My dad also taught us to ice skate. He played minor league hockey before there were helmets. I remember vaguely spending a lot of time as a toddler through age 4 in arenas or hockey players rooms. My dad couldn't wear a helmet. He felt top heavy. One of my favorite things in life, above rugby, is to ice skate. I spent countless hours literally trying to catch up to my dad on North Park Skating rink. I don't think I ever did. I still love to skate. Alone. Just like my dad.
As a result of my dad, my sister and I learned about tools and things you can and can't do with them. My dad built a gorgeous mantle piece for my mom. I remember seeing the wood in the garage and how my dad cared for it. How he sanded and stained and polyurethaned it to perfection. It's still at my parents house in Forida, and despite an Echo incident and a moving incident, it's perfect. Personally, I can't wait until I move out of my dinky apartment into a place with room to work. I'm dying for a saw and a rotary sander. My Dremel and all the attachments I get every Christmas are collecting dust. I want to build and create things. I have a million ideas. And my sister was able to do the work on the townhouse she owned in Virginia and she's able to do the work on the townhome she now owns with her husband.
My sister and I also learned how to polish and shine shoes. Imagine! I know three men at the current point that either have no clue what I'm talking about or have no idea how to do so. The only reason half of my shoes last so long is because I polish and care for them.
The best thing to me that I learned from my dad, not that the rest isn't fantabulous, is my love of music. Mostly of the Classical variety. That's what my dad did, and still does listen to. Always. In high school, my dad and I went to the sympohony on Sunday afternoons. It was there that I heard a song that will forever be my favorite. Ravel's Bolero. Just they way it starts out so quiet, so individual. And builds to this gigantic force of sound and every instrument. It's a force. It's my ringtone on my phone, because when it comes on, I always smile.
And to close this out, I learned something absolutely wonderful tonite… the Pittsburgh Symphony is performing my song, Bolero, next year. In February. I've invited someone and mentioned it to others. But I'll go alone, if that's what it takes. It means that much to me.
They don't read this, don't know it exists, but thanks, mom & dad.

This is the jumping off point for most of the trails taken along the Plaine Champagne route. It is quite easy to access the main lookout points of this park which is home to a variety of wildlife. Plenty of trails are found close by for exploring the stunning surroundings with the most popular being Parakeet Trail, Gollum Trail and Bell Ombre Trail, amongst many more. If you love nature, wide open skies and invigorating ocean air, a sojourn into Black River Gorges National Park is highly recommended.
Head over to Roche Noire and you will discover a network of lava tubes that represent freshwater springs as well as caves carved into the rock face. Explore these networks and you will be amazed at the interiors with flowing water and narrow passageways which give way to dark sheltered caverns. The lava tubes connect to the ocean at spots the fresh water meets the sea. These points are home to freshwater lakes full of fish and make super swim holes to cool off in. Take along the snorkels for it's quite a treat to discover the variety of fish in these waterways.
Beautiful Balaclava Bay home to InterContinental Mauritius Resort Balaclava Fort is yours enjoy. Ideal for chilling and enjoying some sun, surf and sand this beach is one of the most beautiful in Mauritius. Imagine the place facing a turquoise blue ocean with a backdrop of mountains and you will be transported to paradise. Due to the presence of Mauritius luxury resorts around the bay, there are plenty of seaside activities to indulge around this well serviced beach. The bay is also a great starting point for exploration trails across the verdant hills.
This park located along the eastern coast is one of the two national parks Mauritius is home to. Sitting on the craggy remains of a lava flow this park was once home to a small village and sugar mill. Today the park is a lush wonderland which is where you will find the largest population of the Mauritius Paradise Flycatcher. A bonus for those visiting are the bubbling springs, glistening lakes and of course beautiful Bras D'eau Beach.

Weeds by Marither

Once upon a time, the weeds dominated the forest and all the animals were happy. But the humans destroyed the forest for a building and the animals were forced to leave. The animals have nowhere to go so they were slaughtered and the weeds were replaced by cement.
One sunny morning, the beautiful flowers in the garden were surprised to see the growing weeds.
Weeds: "Wow! This place has changed. We are so excited to meet you all."
Orchids: "Good thing you are far away from me. Poor roses to be surrounded by ugly weeds."
Tulips: " They don't belong here! They are destroying our image."
Sunflowers: "They are useless and should be pulled out from the garden right away!"
Roses: "Wish the gardener could do something about it"
Weeds: "We are not useless! In fact, the animals love us. We also have the right, for we are also plants like you."
Orchids: "Excuse us, we are not plants. We are flowers, and take note, not just flowers, but beautiful flowers that the humans adore."
Weeds: "And what do they get from you? Nothing! You just please the eyes, you don't nourish the body and soul."
Roses: "Who cares? At least, we are respected and treated well, unlike you."
Tulips: "You should all go back to the forest where you belong."
Weeds: "You are all right, we don't belong in this beautiful garden surrounded by wickedness. "
And the gardener felt their plea, and pulled out the weeds immediately.
Atheris by Marither
by MARITHER in Allegory Tags: allegory, atheris, eagle, fable, hatchling, short stories, snake, story of an eagle
Once there was an eagle's egg that fell from the tree and rolled down in the cave until it reaches the nest of the snakes. When the mother snake saw it, she buried it with her eggs. When the father snake noticed the egg, he asked: "Where did that egg come from?" She answered: "It was a lost egg, so we have to take good care of it."
The time had come, the eggs started to crack and the whole family was excited to see. The first egg cracked and it was a female brown hatchling, they called her Phily.
The second egg cracked and it was a female black hatchling and they called her Indi.
The third egg cracked and it was a female yellow hatchling and they called her Taipan.
There was a moment of silence, when the last egg cracked. They were surprised when they saw feathers instead of scales. The mother snake told the whole family that it's a special hatchling so everyone called her Atheris. The whole family had hesitations but they don't have a choice but to accept Atheris.
After few months, Atheris became a loner because nobody wanted to play with her for she's different from the rest of the snakes. She has feathers instead of scales, she walks while the rest crawl. She don't know how to use her wings because she taught that she should crawl. She felt that she's the ugliest creature of all, because Phily, Indi and Taipan attract other snakes, while no one would even want to go near her. They've become the most powerful in the cave while she became left behind.
So one day, she tried to take off all her feathers just for her to feel that she belongs. But she ended up hurting herself because of the wounds from pulling the feathers by force. Whenever she cries at night, her mother snake never get tired of telling her: "You are a special snake that's why you shouldn't feel bad because you are beautiful".
Few months had passed, Atheris joined the "Amazing Crawling Race", but ended up hurting herself for trying to crawl just to win the race, but she failed. Out of depression, she went out of the cave crying when she was surprised to see eagles like her flying in the sky. She couldn't understand what's happening. A flock of eagles saw her. An eagle called her: "What are you waiting for? Why aren't you using your wings and fly?" Atheris told them: "But I can't. I don't know how. I look like you but I am not like you". The eagles laughed. An eagle told her: "What are you talking about? You are an eagle like us. Just use what you have. Use your wings and fly".
She was confused. Atheris told her mother about the eagles she saw. Her mother knew that the right time will come and told her the truth. Her mother told her: "I love you and will always be my daughter but you have to go and leave the cave before it's too late. Fly high my child for you belong in the sky". Atheris was happy to know the truth and told her mother snake: "You will always be my mother. I will always honor you for the love you've shown me even I'm different ". She went out of the cave and obeyed her mother.
Few years after, Atheris went back to the cave to visit her mother. As expected, Taipan and Indi were busy monopolizing the cave, while Phily was hibernating. Atheris finally saw her mother, but in deep sorrow. Atheris told her mother how beautiful the world outside the cave and convinced her mother to come with her. But her mother refused for she is getting weaker and weaker each day. Atheris told Taipain, Indi and Phily that they have to save their mother for she's dying, but the 3 just ignored her as they've been busy with their own agenda. Atheris wanted to stay but her mother told her to leave the cave or she'll be in great danger. Atheris can't take what's happening so she took the risk of taking her mother out of the cave and no one even bothered.
Atheris flew out of the cave by holding her mother. A flock of eagles saw them and an eagle told Atheris: "What are you doing with an enemy? Get rid of it!" But Atheris just ignored them and kept on flying. "Look how big and beautiful the world outside mother! It has a lot of caves. It has different creatures. It has different colors." Atheris said enthusiastically. Her mother took her last breath and smiled. Atheris hugged her mother tightly and said, "farewell my dear mother, your kindness will be cherished forever".
Admonition of an Owl by Marither

Once there was a big male python living in a big trunk of a tree. He waits for his prey to get into the trunk to feed him for a day, then hibernates.
An old owl noticed what the python was doing, and warned every animal that will try to get in the python's den.
A skeptic skunk was near the tree, when the owl saw and warned the skunk,
"be careful skunk, a python is in the trunk."
"I don't believe unless I see, for sure there are lots of food stored for me",
the skeptic skunk was curious and went to see,
but as days passed by, the skunk didn't come out of the tree.
A curious rat was near the tree, when the owl saw and warned the rat,
"be careful rat, a python is in the trunk."
"I'm curious to find out, if something happened to me, then I'll shout",
the rat was curious and went to see, but as days gone by, it never came out of the tree.
An audacious cat was near the tree, when the owl saw and warned the cat,
"be careful cat, a python is in the trunk."
"I'm not scared of anything." so the cat was brave enough to see, but as days gone by, it never came out of the tree.
A naive rabbit was near the tree, when the owl saw and warned the rabbit,
"be careful rabbit, a python is in the trunk."
"Thank you owl, I rather go back home than take the risk", the rabbit went back home and warned the rest of the rabbits.
The Cub and the Eaglet by Marither

In the animal kingdom, there were 2 powerful groups of animals, the pride or the group of lions and the congregation of eagles.
Since the lions were the most powerful for a long period of time, the eagles planned to take the eyes of the lions' cubs so once the future of the lions will be blinded, the eagles will reign & rule the animal kingdom.
The eagles started to attack the cubs by taking their eyes. The lions were bursting in anger, so they hid their cubs in the cave and planned how to destroy all the eagles in the forest.
One sunny day, a blind male cub was bored and went out of the cave to play. Then he met a male eaglet and asked him: "Why are you alone in the forest?" The cub answered: "I'm bored in the cave, I want to be free and to play with other animals in the forest. But our parents told us that it's not safe outside the cave because of the wild predators." "I'm bored too, I'm tired of being on the nest because of the wild predators that our parents have told us. Since you can't see, let me be your eyes to guide you." From then on, the eaglet became the cub's playmate in the forest.
When the eaglet was guiding the cub on his way home, the lions captured the eaglet. The cub was trying to stop them. The lions roared out of anger as they almost killed the eaglet. The lions decided that eating the eaglet will not solve the problem. So the lions brought the poor eaglet to the congregation of eagles and told them: "The same will happen to all your eaglets if you'll continue to take away the eyes of our cubs." The eagles realized what they've done and agreed that they will never harm their cubs again.
After several years, the 2 playmates meet again. The eaglet turned into a paralyzed eagle, while the blind cub turned into a blind coward lion. The eagle was crying as he asked his friend, "Why do we have to be the victims of our parents' fault? Why do we have to suffer from their mistakes?" The lion replied, "I'm sorry for what happened to you. I hope that you could forgive my pride for what they've done to you. I'm still your friend and I can be your feet, while you'll be my eyes."
From then on, the eagle served as the eyes of the lion, while the lion served as the feet of the eagle and both lived symbiotically.

People have been searching the outer space for aliens, they didn't know that they are part of this earth. They are the creatures from what they call the "Bermuda Triangle/Devil's Triangle" or those creatures from the deepest ocean.
With an amphibian face, crustacean claws, marine mammal body and human brain. These creatures have evolved like humans. They are the highest form of animals in the ocean, like the humans of the land. They are the Gods, the most powerful and have the full control over the sea creatures. Though they have enough strength to build a nation underwater, they fear of being discovered and destroyed by humans that made them become cruel enough to submerge anything that passes through their kingdom. This had lead to mysterious disappearance of air crafts and ships. They continuously study on how they can preserve their nation and invade the land since they have foreseen the cruelty of humans once they have discovered that they exist.
While the humans have been idle and have taken their research on Bermuda triangle for granted. Mollusca the head of the sea nation, a highly intelligent underwater creature that discovered the vast energy of the triangle. For him, "The land may be populated by humans, but they are vain and contented with beauty, money & power."
From the people that they have captured, Mollusca was able to discover that humans continuously grow physically but their brains are small but powerful, however, most of their brains stagnate. …….. TO BE CONTINUED
A Tale of Two Cats by Marither
by MARITHER in Allegory Tags: a tale of two cats, allegory, apologue, fable, fiction, marither, Parable, short story
In the city of vanity, a timid black cat was happy to meet a mischievous white cat, for he has found a friend.
The black cat was scared to be alone so he followed the white cat. When the white cat noticed that the black cat was following him, he sighed and said: "Come along black cat, as I find a place to stay for the winter". The black cat was thankful and said with a smile: "What a felicitous life!"
Winter came and the two homeless cats were shivering in an alley, an old woman was astounded of the white cat and said: "Oh, pity white cat, come and be my pet". So the old lady carried the white cat on her way home.
When she noticed that the black cat was following them, she shooed the black cat away and said: "Stop following us, you wicked black cat!" But the black cat still followed them until they have reached home.
The old lady fed the white cat, and then brushed his fur. The black cat was shivering as he watched the white cat at the window dreaming of being pampered. But when the old lady saw the black cat, she hurriedly pushed the window. The black cat fell that broke his right leg. The old lady shouted: "Get lost you black omen and don't you ever get near our house!" So the black cat ran away to the market.
One day, when the white cat was conceitedly walking while the old lady was buying fruits in the market, the white cat saw the black cat and told him: "How sad for you to be homeless with a broken leg. Why don't you follow us secretly, just hide as I give you food in the garden so you don't have to roam around in this stinky place." The black cat was relieved and followed them back home.
One sunny morning, the white cat threw the yarn ball to his friend in the garden and told him to play around with it so he won't get bored. The white cat also gave him all the food that he could get from the kitchen. The black cat was thankful.
For several days, the old lady was curious to know where the food and her yarns for stitching are. So she started to look for her yarns and screaked to see the black cat playing with a yarn ball. The old lady got her broom and went out hurriedly. When the black cat saw the old lady getting near him, he was scared as he ran fast with his sore leg.
The following day, in the market, the white cat saw the black cat wounded and starving. The white cat invited him again to be back in the garden. The black cat was depressed and declined, he told him: "My life has been cursed. People called me with evil names that you can't even imagine. I was judged by my features, degraded and even wanted to be executed."
The old lady was bursting with anger when she saw her white cat with the black cat. She screamed: "Get that evil black cat! It stole a lot from me!" Then she called her white cat in a soft voice: "Come to mama my angel". The white cat didn't think twice of going back to the old lady. He told the black cat: "I'm sorry my friend, but I have to go back home. I know you can survive in this place." The black cat was disappointed, thinking that he has a found a friend who would be there when he needed it most.
The old lady told her white cat: "You shouldn't go near that black cat, it is a witch!" The black cat can't do anything. He was afflicted. Yet, he was thankful that the old lady just left instead of hurting him.
The next day, the white cat was haunted by his conscience and went back to the market to look for his friend. He was happy to see his friend near the trash. As he gets near, his heart was palpitating, he felt the cold wind and found out that he has lost his friend.

Once there was a town of worms living underground. One of them was Raucous, he is smart, hyperactive but stubborn. Their Muggy place has a boundary on top, and nobody attempted to go beyond the border because all the worms were scared, for they were told by the elders that it is the "Danger Zone".
Raucous was so curious to find out what's up there. So he did. He found out that there were sharp objects when his body part was cut. All the worms were so worried about him. They were all sad because Raucous lost his body part. But after few days he rejuvenated. But Raucous was still curious and stubborn. When he had his body part back, he climbed up again, until he reached the "Danger Zone".
After that, Raucous wasn't able to return back home to the Muggy place, because when he reached the top of the soil, a boy stepped on him. 😉
MORAL LESSONS: DON'T BE STUBBORN & BE OBEDIENT
Jargons from the story:
raucous – disorderly, boisterous-lack discipline
muggy – humid, warm, moist
rejuvenated – regenerate, restore to an original/new condition

What does it take to build a national big data superhighway?
in Big Data
Big data is a major subject of modern science in today's world and engineers and scientists all over the country are focused on the technology which enables it. A workshop was held on 7th and 8th August at the Montana State University which was attended by about 125 engineers and scientists. Future of infrastructure which is needed in order to support science was planned in the first NRP (National Research Platform) workshop.
Implementation strategies were discussed in the workshop regarding building of a national big data superhighway. This is basically deploying exchangeable Science DMZs all over the nation. Sessions of the workshop focused on the needs for data transfer at high-speed, discussing their pros and cons.
It is known that physicists are the original users of big data. Data is produced at CERN in terms of exabyte and petabyte (exabyte = one billion gigabytes). Harvey Newman, a physicist who is known as the largest data user, was present at the workshop to remind everyone that newer instruments are coming into existence which will create massive sizes of data that make today's instruments look pale in comparison.
Not only physicists
Larry Smarr, computer scientist who was an organizer of the event, works with archaeologists to develop methods for analyzing and digitizing archaeological sites in order to preserve, visualize and analyze them. Climate scientists gather detailed data which support improved modelling of weather and climate. This process involves better networks, more computing and increased data storage and analysis. Academic researches increase the scope of computer science further. Networks driven by software change how scientists gain access to computing, data managing and analyzing their results.
RENCI and NCREN
Institutions in North Carolina are leading the way. At Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI), Dr. Claris Castillo, leader of SciDAS which helps researchers in developing a more flexible and fluid cyber infrastructure for analyzing and working with large-scale data. The SciDAS project was discussed at the NRP workshop.
National Carolina Research and Education Network (NCREN) is providing communications at high capacity which supports the Breakable Experimental Network, also known as BEN. NCREN supports community college and K-12, hence they provide unique opportunities for education at university level for advanced research.
Benefits of the NRP workshop
A cooperative agreement was funded by the National Science Foundation for five years which will enable the Pacific Research Platform (PRP) improve high speed data transfer, end to end, big-data science in 20 institutions. The NRP is dedicated to facilitate social engineering to a diverse group which includes R&E network, science, IT leaders and provide them with end-to-end networking which has been proven. To build an effective partnership, cyber infrastructure experts need to work with scientists and understand what their desired outcomes are. Identification of common functionality can influence science applications and make the National Research Platform partnership become more effective and efficient. Prioritizing access to high performance supercomputer centres is key.
This will alter how the Internet is today. The techniques discussed at the workshop will soon be implemented to support cutting edge research and transform the Internet which we use at our homes.

Throughout my years as a middle grades teacher, I tried to include a variety of reading materials for my students to choose from. One interesting and unique genre I delved into was mythology.
Students in my classroom had the opportunity to see short clips featuring classic myths. These clips were available on streaming services, like the kind provided by Discovery Education. These brief visuals served as an appetizer for longer film and reading experiences.
Though cartoonish, such clips added media connections to reading samples from anthologies. It helped that part of our curriculum standards later on included myths, and that authors like Rick Riordan popularized mythology through fiction. For a while, many of my students toted Riordan's books around of their own interest and accord.
Riordan has written stories based on Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Norse myths. His writing style is conversational and often told from the perspective of his adolescent characters, making the works relatable for young readers. The books have even spawned a wider series written by other authors, exploring lesser-known myths.
Riordan also writes in a series that unfolds and builds student attention. I found that my students could gather and sustain interest, especially when they were able to start a series from the beginning on. I enjoyed Riordan's work so much that his first young adult novel, The Lightning Thief, was an assigned text more than once in my class. This author even features a lesson outline on his website — being a former educator, he is quite thoughtful that way.
In addition to these youth-oriented selections, there were other representations of mythology that proved popular. We read portions of The Odyssey and watched film segments detailing aspects of the story on then-freely available sources like Schmoop.
These resources proved accessible for slightly older students.
We read Zuni and Native American myths, including one entry by Zora Neale Hurston, in our classroom textbook. These stories showed classical elements like trickster figures and even gave students the opportunity to encounter dialect in fiction.
Mythology makes its way into comic books and graphic novels with stylish renderings of classic stories like The Odyssey, as well as adaptations of many of Riordan's works. No other kind of book was consumed nearly as much in my classroom experience as the graphic novel. It could be argued that prolific modern-day publishers like Marvel have created their own freestanding mythologies, featuring characters like Thor and Black Panther.
Now, other authors like Neil Gaiman, Madeline Miller, and Joanne Harris are exploring mythology. Gaiman has one book that details Norse myths for older readers, as well as a book for younger readers called Odd and the Frost Giants.
Nothing pleased me more than sharing Gaiman's voice on audio book with my students, artfully reading Odd. Miller has written Circe, which is a new release I had the opportunity to review a few months ago, a follow-up to her book, Achilles. I am pleased to report it is literary and accessible, a wonderful read.
Finally, Harris relays modernized stories of the trickster figure, Loki. Harris has a set of two books that work well with humor and a more contemporary spin; also fine reading that reaches into this genre.
What about movies beyond short clips? Films like Gods of Egypt and Clash of the Titans offer more grown-up fare for visual consumption, as well. These films can be screened in their entirety, but I often prefer to show well-chosen clips to illustrate concepts and describe characters.
Obviously, mythology is profligate and engaging, with many authors and filmmakers acting as viable choices for learning and exploration. These rich cultural stories are worth sharing and serve as yet another example of a genre to highlight for reading interest.

Home Holi Why is Holi celebrated?
'Phagwah' is derived from the name of the Hindu month 'Phalgun', because it is on the full moon in the month of Phalgun that Holi is celebrated.
The month of Phalgun ushers India in Spring when seeds sprout, flowers bloom and the country rises from winter's slumber.
Holi is also associated with the Puranic story of Holika, the sister of demon-king Hiranyakashipu. The demon-king punished his son, Prahlad in a variety of ways to denounce Lord Narayana.
He failed in all his attempts. Finally, he asked his sister Holika to take Prahlad in her lap and enter a blazing fire. Holika had a boon to remain unburned even inside fire. Holika did her brother's bidding. However, Holika's boon ended by this act of supreme sin against the Lord's devotee and was burnt to ashes. But Prahlad came out unharmed.
Holi is also associated with the Divine Dance known as Raaslila staged by Lord Krishna for the benefit of his devotees of Vrindavan commonly known as Gopis.

If you are on the lookout for an image body then it's best to choose a collage image frame. French for wild beasts," the time period was coined in 1905 by artwork critic Louis Vauxcelles to explain paintings by artists like Henri Matisse and André Derain, which had been characterized by an inclination towards vibrant color and bold brushstrokes over lifelike or representational qualities.
It adopted the Nouveau Réalisme exhibition at the Galerie Rive Droite in Paris , and marked the worldwide debut of the artists who soon gave rise to what came to be called Pop Artwork in Britain and The United States and Nouveau Réalisme on the European continent.
Within the 21st century, working with photograph photos additionally means inviting purchasers to seek out photographs on the Web and introducing them to software or web sites that present methods to change pictures or discovered images and create compositions of pictures.

El Paso Symphony…
Photo courtesy Tocando/Facebook
El Paso Symphony Orchestra's 'Tocando' expands to Tornillo
Lifestyle Music & Concerts
The El Paso Symphony announced Thursday that it will expand its After-School Music Project, Tocando, to Tornillo Elementary School as an in-class and after-school program in January 2020 providing free instruments, music instruction and performance opportunities.
Tocando uses music education as a vehicle for students to acquire valuable tools of teamwork, self-confidence, leadership, and academic success as campuses grow to include additional immigrant communities.
Tornillo is an impoverished rural community 40 miles east of El Paso which gained national attention during the migrant crisis earlier in 2019.
Although, that migrant population has been dispersed throughout the United States, Tornillo remains predominantly populated by resettled immigrants from Mexico. It is this population that will benefit from the Tocando program, which will be restructured as a during-school-day and after-school program to accommodate the students' needs.
"Children here are in so much need, and we want to be able to create something better for them. For many of our students, this music education program is a lifeline" says Rosy Vega-Barrio, Superintendent, Tornillo Independent School District.
Currently in its 7th year, Tocando launched in September 2013 at Hart Elementary School in the El Segundo Barrio neighborhood of South El Paso. It is currently serving 2nd to 8th grade students of Aoy Elementary, Hart Elementary, Young Women's Academy and Guillen Middle school.
Tocando students attend programming Monday through Thursday throughout the school year, a two-week summer camp at their home campus and are given an opportunity to attend a week-long sleep-away summer music camp as well.
Students regularly visit El Paso Museum of Art, though the ArtBeats initiative, and gain insight into the connection between visual and instrumental art.
In addition, students participate in annual Career Day visits to UTEP where they spend the day touring the campus and enjoying activities prepared by various departments such as, Music, Education, Science, Engineering and Computer to introduce them to college life.
Tocando in Tornillo is supported by The NAMM Foundation's Believe in Music Fund under its new initiative "Music Education at the Border" that seeks to support students, their families and schools with music education opportunities.
The NAMM Foundation advances active participation in music making across the lifespan by supporting scientific research, philanthropic giving and public service programs; more information is available online.
In addition, Tocando in Tornillo is supported by The Bernstein Family Foundation, El Sistema Greece, the Bonnie and Peter Reagan Fund and many donors through the Go Fund Me page Bring Music to the Children on the US/MEXICO Border.
Anyone interested in becoming involved with this program should contact the EPSO office at (915) 532-3776 for more information.


This style covers the period from the first early settlers in the sixteenth century - mostly European - to the Declaration of Independence in the eighteenth century.
It is remarkable that people of such diverse cultures and degrees of wealth were able to develop their own unique style over the years.
Being sensible folk, they learned and adopted many practices from the native people, and incorporated them into their own style of living.
As they grew wealthy and were able to trade, they learned of the latest fashions in Europe, but didn't slavishly copy them. Rather, they adapted them into their own way of life, and in the process produced a unique and totally American colonial style.
Some early settlers would have brought their furniture with them. Those who didn't would have made furniture with the same style and quality familiar to them, making use of local materials and construction methods.
The most natural and abundant material available to them was wood, and they used it whenever possible, for interiors and exteriors.
Early buildings were simple and practical, but as communities became more secure they were able - and could afford - to give more time to the niceties of life. Later dwellings of the American Colonial Style were easily a match for their European counterparts.
As with all furnishing styles this was initially influenced by practical considerations.
In the early years getting a dwelling up and functioning was the main objective. Fancy soft furnishings were not exactly at the top of the list for the original settlers. Later on, the availability of materials, imports and the wealth of the individual came into play.
Walls were usually painted, and wood finished in a darker or lighter paint color. Wallpapers were much too expensive for most people, and even in the later part of the period only the wealthy could really afford it.
The widespread use of wood resulted in floors constructed of scrubbed pine, sometimes covered with colored cloths or rag rugs.
Window treatments were simple, perhaps a curtain with tabs hung on a wooden pole, or else shutters which were more practical.
If you made it in the world and wanted to impress your neighbors, then you would have bought some imported silk or brocade, and paid someone to install full drapes with swags and cascades.
The wealthy would have used chandeliers, but most homes made do with wood or iron candle holders, sometimes mounted on the wall, often just placed on a table or dresser.
Other household items would have been dishes, vases and so on, but all made from earthenware or wood. Silver and china were - once again - for those with a little more money to spare.
This style is probably the easiest to imitate. It also means you can achieve a home or room which is both elegant and practical.
Also, if you want a more rustic setting you can base your decorating on the earlier part of the period, and for a more refined look use ideas from later years. You'll most often see the style illustrated when decorating kitchens or bedrooms, but you can adapt it for any room in the house.
In your kitchen, paint the walls in a flat color (see the paint color suggestions) and hang some basic kitchen utensils for an immediate effect.
For a bedroom or living room, fix a chair rail (dado rail) and again paint the walls. Or fit paneling effects by using wood or polystyrene moldings. Patchwork quilts on beds would add an authentic touch.
A typical chair for the period would be a Windsor chair, with a spindle back. Needlepoint pillows made by hand will give a homely look to any room.
For your curtains use a simple cloth made into curtains with tabbed headings, and hung on a wood pole. You could add shutters, or use them instead of curtains.
Pewter was in general use at the time. You can buy pewter cups, plates or candlesticks in antique stores or at auctions. These will give detail to your American colonial style room.
Many of the early settlers brought their ideas from Europe.
As with all paint colors, these would have been limited by their knowledge of dyes. So don't feel you have to match colors exactly, the examples given are for guidance only.
The most usual method was to paint walls and ceilings matt white, and use colors for woodwork. If any paneling were made of mahogany it would have been left in its natural state, but other wood was often painted.
Paint color finishes were not just plain, as they would have used grained and marble effects as well.
Another interesting page on this site is the decorating with color page. It deals with more general ideas for color in the home.
If you want to use a great resource for deciding on which paint colors to use, take a look at Paint color cheat sheets. Professional decorators have known for years about certain colors which always work.


Jane's session was a complete dream come true. This was one of my favorite maternity sessions to date. This was her first pregnancy and she had never had professional photos done before. Her goals were to look and feel beautiful and to celebrate this wonderful time! She showed up looking like a goddess! She was so regal and gorgeous. She made my job so easy and fun. I am really happy with how the photos turned out.
My time with the Colley Family is one of my favorite shoots to date! The children were such a joy and the love between the family was beautiful to watch. We chose the gorgeous McDaniel Farm Park and I am so glad we did. It is one of my favorite locations and the fall leaves were THE BEST backdrop. I hope the photos display the warm and tender moments that the family had during our shoot.
Check out this awesome family maternity session in Atlanta!
I am in love with this beautiful family! We decided to shoot at Arabia Mountain Park in Lithonia Georgia for the Maupin's Holiday Portraits. I assisted with everything from the location to the wardrobe to bring their vision to life. I really love the way these photos came out and I hope they will be a beautiful addition to the decor in their home. Check out some of my favorite shots!

Home » A-Z of Sport & Physical Activity » Boccia
The aim of the game is to throw leather balls - coloured red or blue as close as you can to a white target ball, or jack.
An Overview of Boccia
Boccia (pronounced 'Bot-cha') is a sport similar to bowls for athletes with a disability. Boccia is totally inclusive and can be played by anyone regardless of age, gender, ability or disability.
Boccia can be played by individuals, pairs, or teams of three. The aim of the game is to throw leather balls - coloured red or blue as close as you can to a white target ball, or jack. The balls can be moved with hands or feet, or, sometimes, with an assistive device It is played indoors on a court similar in size to a badminton court.
At the end of each round, or end, the distance of the balls closest to the jack is measured, and points awarded accordingly - one point for each ball which is closer to the jack than the opponent's closest ball. The team/player with the highest number of points at the end of play is the winner.
Requires high levels of accuracy, concentration and tactical awareness.
Provides physical, mental and social benefits.
A set of Boccia balls is ~£120
A set consists of one white 'jack' ball, six red and six blue weighted leather balls. Other useful equipment to play could include ramps, referee paddles and tape measures/calipers.
Boccia is a target sport first introduced to the Paralympics in 1984.

THE CAPE CLUB BY TROON UNDERGOING EXPANSIVE TRANSFORMATION, REBRANDING AND RELAUNCH
Falmouth, Mass. - The Cape Club by Troon, (formerly Ballymeade Country Club), located on Cape Cod in Falmouth, Mass. is in the midst of a major transformation, including extensive changes to the golf course, clubhouse and club amenities.
New clubhouse enhancements at The Cape Club were unveiled in the fall of 2015, along with the addition of a new restaurant, the Cape Grille Steak & Seafood. Clubhouse enhancements included a complete renovation of fixtures, furnishings, marble tile accents, siding, windows, doors and more. The renovated clubhouse is home to more than 20,000 square feet of banquet space, groom and bridal suites, golf shop, meeting space and the Cape Grille Steak & Seafood.
A new golf experience is also being crafted as the original 18-holes have been transformed to create a totally refreshed golf journey. New tee boxes were added, fairways were widened and reshaped, putting greens and new green complexes were constructed, and each hole was enhanced with silica "Augusta-white" sand bunkers. Greens, green approaches and fairways were seeded with bent grass. Roughs and tees were hydro-seeded with a rye/bluegrass blend. Outer rough areas were seeded with a drought tolerant fescue. Further golf course renovations include:
Dramatic changes made to every hole, including an expanded water feature on holes 9 and 18 that will present a challenging finish to each nine
Enhanced view corridors on fairways
New regular and forward tees added on select holes, plus new elevated back tees were created
Resurfaced and expanded tee boxes
All fairways were re-contoured
Completely rebuilt green complexes that were all reshaped and re-contoured
Addition of all new strategically placed fairway and greenside bunkers
Cart paths materials were created using white crushed stone to match the look of the Augusta white-sand bunkers
Changes to the golf course were overseen by Troon's development department and Troon's Vice President of Golf Course Development Ron Despain. Currently, Troon and the on-site Cape Club team are managing the final grow-in process.
"The new ownership of The Cape Club certainly had a vision to embark upon a complete turnaround of the project," said Despain. "After three decades the original clubhouse and golf course were certainly in need of a 'refresh'. The new clubhouse is amazing and the golf course is currently being transformed into one of the best in the region. Our goal is to create a presentation on each and every hole that encourages the golfer to enjoy both the beauty and strategy of the golf hole."
The new practice facility at The Cape Club is being relocated adjacent to the clubhouse to integrate golf, dining and social activities within the practice experience. Distance-tracking technology will also be integrated into the practice facility so golfers can accurately track how far they hit each club. Long term plans for the practice facility include the construction of an upper deck with seating areas that allow guests to dine, practice, take in football or baseball games on flat screen televisions and socialize, all within steps of the practice tee.
The master plan for the Cape Club Resort calls for 28 single family homes and 80 golf villa and cottages where groups or individuals can spend the night, week or month. Resort shuttle services will take overnight guests to area beaches located just three miles from the Cape Club Resort. Additional future amenities call for a resort pool with bar and food service overlooking the golf course, an open-air event pavilion overlooking holes 9 and 18, as well as a luxurious spa with fitness center and indoor pool facilities. The residential, cottage, spa and pool elements of the resort are currently in the permitting and planning stages.
As part of the re-branding of the facility, Troon unveiled a fresh new logo and new club website at www.capeclubresort.com. The name of the resort was garnered in a unique way, with Troon utilizing popular social networks including a Google+ golf community that generated over 130 unique naming convections. Following the social campaign the name "The Cape Club" was selected by ownership.
"The Cape Club by Troon is a first class golf destination designed to enhance a member for the day experience," said Mark Drago, general manager of The Cape Club. "We are excited to open our doors to invite the many locals and tourists who enjoy a challenging championship round of golf accompanied by a 5 star dining experience in our new restaurant, The Cape Grille. The state of the art Clubhouse and outdoor tent create a spectacular venue to host your next wedding or special event. I couldn't be more excited to get the season started and look forward to our guests enjoying all the property has to offer."

The 2018 Rose Bowl lives up to the hype; Sony Michel runs by Oklahoma (Video)
(Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)
The Granddaddy of them all may not have decided this year's College Football Playoff champion, but it was one of the more entertaining football games you will ever see. Somehow, the Rose Bowl always lives up to the hype.
Early on, this looked like Oklahoma and the Heisman Trophy winner, Baker Mayfield may run away with this one. After Baker Mayfield caught a touchdown pass–yes, that's right, caught a touchdown pass–the Sooners were already celebrating like they won. They held a 31-14 lead with less than a minute to play in the first half.
What a play! Baker Mayfield with the touchdown catch! #RoseBowl pic.twitter.com/foYJ6TeZjU

But the Dawgs weren't going away without a fight. With only six seconds left on the clock, Oklahoma botched a squib kick, Georgia quarterback picked up some quick yards, and Kirby Smart called a timeout to set up a long field goal for Rodrigo Blankenship. The Dawgs kicker would drill a 55-yarder and give his team some life heading into the second half.
The teams would trade scores in the 4th quarter, but everyone knew this game was heading to overtime. Double overtime to be exact.
Baker Mayfield couldn't manage to get the Sooners in the end zone in either overtime and unfortunately, that wouldn't be enough. Georgia blocked Oklahoma's attempt at a field goal and only needed a field goal to win it.
A touchdown Georgia fans will remember forever. pic.twitter.com/4pyS5OSako
— ESPN (@espn) January 2, 2018
Sony Michel didn't wanna leave this game to chance. Georgia looked to play it conservatively by rushing it, but Sony Michel felt like taking it into the end zone. And to be fair, running the ball wasn't a conservative call tonight. Michel racked up 181 yards and three touchdowns and his partner in crime, Nick Chubb added 145 yards and two touchdowns. They averaged 16.5 and 10.4 yards per carry, respectively.
If Georgia's defense comes out in the championship like they did in the second half of the Rose Bowl, whoever they play is going to have their work cut out for them.

Q: How do I use the Android Async HTTP library with Loaders? In my Android App, I have a number of Activities/Fragments, whose content is loaded using Loaders containing HTTP requests. Today, I stumbled over android-async-http, which seems to be suited very well for HTTP requests. Now, the library takes care of running its stuff in its own Threads, so using AsyncTaskLoader together with the library seems not correct.
I cannot find any clues on how to integrate the Android Async HTTP library with Loaders, or, if I should drop the Loaders completely in favor of the library. If so, how would I make sure everything works fine upon configuration changes, which the Loaders are very good at?
I would be glad, if you could point out some blog entries on how to proberly use the library with Fragments containing Views.

When you're on a dead battle, don't forget to have a look at the surroundings and utilize invincible skills. You may also set unique builds, for any situation you're in, so you need to reset skills less. You must have a particular operational ability and team awareness.
Wizard not just has a place in PvE but in addition a strong position in PVP. Additionally, the Shade and Mechanic cards are incredibly helpful. Prestige Perks which can be obtained via leveling up were added.

Huge amounts of loot were taken. But in most cases, no one was ever convicted for the crimes.
Ann H.
Let's face it, there are quite a few highly intelligent criminals who made a mark in history. Of course, what's amazing is that most of them managed to conceal their identities.
These perps had been able to methodically plan and cleverly execute their heists that afterwards, the authorities couldn't link an evidence (or find one) to any suspect. Consequently, a number of huge, controversial crimes remain unsolved until now.
When all investigations remain futile and cases turn cold, the crooks know they have successfully pulled off a perfect crime.
Here are 10 of the most extraordinarily "perfect" heists in history.
#10. The 300 Million Yen Robbery
Source: Oddee
On December 10, 1968, a fake policeman driving a motorcycle pulled over a Nihon Shintaku Ginko Bank car to warn its driver and three passengers of an alleged bomb planted underneath their vehicle.
Since there had been previous bomb threats against the bank, the men stepped out and let the uniformed police officer inspect the company car.
Source: worldtreasuresblog
A few moments later, the men saw smoke and flames coming from under the vehicle. It was, of course, staged by the fake police himself.
When the men ran for cover, the phoney patrolman jumped into the vehicle and drove away with at least 300 million Yen or $817,000, which was in its trunk.
Despite hundreds of pieces of evidence, more than a hundred thousand suspects and police investigations, the suspect was never caught. At that time, it was the single largest heist in the history of Japan.
#9. Dan "DB" Cooper—The World's Most Famous Fugitive
Source: jalopnik
It was the 24th of November, 1971, the night before Thanksgiving. Dan Cooper, a six-foot-tall Caucasian went aboard a Boeing 727 aeroplane in Portland, OR that was bound for Seattle. Cooper looked rather decent in a suit and a raincoat. With a briefcase in his hand, he silently walked towards the back of the plane. He sat, donned a pair of dark sunglasses, calmly lit a cigarette, and ordered whiskey from the stewardess. Then, he handed her a note which read:
"I HAVE A BOMB IN MY BRIEFCASE. I WILL USE IT IF NECESSARY. I WANT YOU TO SIT NEXT TO ME. YOU ARE BEING HIJACKED."
Cooper demanded $200,000 and four parachutes, which he wanted to be delivered to him in Seattle. In exchange he said he'd release 36 passengers as soon as the aircraft landed.
The swap transpired in the middle of the brightly-lit tarmac, and the passengers were released. However, DB still took the pilot, co-pilot, and a stewardess as hostages. As soon as they were sky-bound, he instructed the pilot to head for Mexico and to maintain an altitude of 10,000 feet. Shortly after the aircraft departed, about 25 miles North West of Portland, Cooper strapped on a parachute, released the plane's aft stairs, and jumped off the plane.
No one knows for sure whether DB Cooper survived or not. Nine years later, nearly $6,000 of the money was found in bundles on a beach.

There were no signs of his body. After more than 1000 suspects, numerous death bed confessions, a movie, and over a thousand books, the case remains unsolved.
#8. The Tucker Cross
Source: Coed
Teddy Tucker found a 22-karat gold cross embedded with sparkling green emeralds in 1955. The Tucker Cross—as it was called—was recovered from the 1594 San Pedro shipwreck.
Teddy sold the priceless piece to the Government of Bermuda, and in 1975, it was brought to the Bermuda Museum of Art to be exhibited for Queen Elizabeth II.
Apparently, an ingenious thief managed to replace the original cross with a replica during this transition. People presumed that the jewels of Tucker Cross were stripped off of it, the gold melted down, and somehow, it had been hauled into the Black Market.
#7. The Chicago First National Vault Robbery
Source: the doughnut vault
On Friday, the 7th of October, 1977, the chief teller of the Chicago First National Bank counted $4 million dollars and placed it in a locked money cart. The money cart was then stored in a heavily guarded vault located two floors below.
When the money was counted again on Tuesday morning, exactly $1 million dollars—in $50 and $100 denominations— seem to have "vanished" from the vault.
Authorities found $2,300 of that money in a drug raid in 1981. The rest of it and the hoodlums who stole the cash, however, were never found.
#6. Gardner Museum Art Robbery
Source: mpr
Two thieves stole 13 priceless paintings including masterpieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Degas. On March 18, 1990, the crooks, who disguised themselves as Boston police officers, claimed they were responding to a call of a disturbance at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
Breaking protocol, the security officer on duty, unfortunately, let the imposters in. Once inside, one of the suspects told the officer that they recognize him, and that have a warrant for his arrest. All the while, the perps' intention was to lead the guard away from the only alarm button that was behind the security desk. The criminals ordered the poor guard to summon the other officer on duty, which he did. Once they got both men rounded up, they handcuffed them and led them to the basement. There, the crooks tied the guards' hands, feet, and heads with duct tape and secured them to the pipes. The officers were 40 yards apart from each other.
It wasn't until the morning, when the guard's relievers came, that they learned the museum had been robbed.
The burglars were able to take a third of a billion dollars' worth of artworks including Rembrandt's Storm on the Sea of Galilee (1633).
Source: totally history
A Lady and Gentleman in Black (1633) a Self Portrait (1634), and Edouard Manet's Chez Tortoni (1878–1880). were also taken. Until now, no one has been arrested for the crime, and the paintings were never recovered.

New Wal-Mart Greeter Got Fired Within Two Hours Because of a Hilarious Reason
This nasty woman insulted him on his first day at work. His response was hilarious but it cost him his job.
Mikai
If you are a new employee on your very first day of work, will you risk getting fired just to tell off a mother who is being rude to her children? Some of us may just keep quiet about it and let the mother mind her own business. But some might not be able to tolerate such rude behavior and verbal abuse for the children.
In this short anecdote, a newly-hired Wal-Mart greeter's hilarious comeback to a rude mother certainly earned the woman a lesson. However, it also cost the old man his job!

Q: What energy will the LHC use for pA collisions in Run 2? Part of the LHC's Run 2 (which just recently started) will be dedicated to proton-ion collisions, but I haven't been able to find any firm information about what energy those collisions will run at. The best information I've seen so far suggests that there are two proposals for beam energy, $4 Z$ and $7 Z\ \mathrm{GeV}$, but that's a couple years old.
A beam energy of $4Z\ \mathrm{TeV}$ corresponds to the Run 1 pPb center-of-mass energy of $5.02\ \mathrm{TeV}$ (note $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2\sqrt{Z/A}\times\text{beam energy}$), which suggests that the decision made in that case was to simply set the proton beam energy at the same value used for pp collisions. Using that logic, the proton beam during Run 2 pPb would be set at $6.5\ \mathrm{TeV}$, corresponding to a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 8162\ \mathrm{GeV}$. But the accelerator is designed for $7\ \mathrm{TeV}$ proton beams, which would have $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 8790\ \mathrm{TeV}$. I don't know if a final upgrade to the design energy is scheduled for before pPb collisions resume in 2017. And it's not strictly required that pPb operation uses the same beam energy as in pp.
Does anyone know the final decision on beam energy? Or a recent source stating that the decision is not final, if that is the case.

A: I have no actual information, but I believe that it's highly likely that the protons will again run at the same energy as in the pp run. By doing this, the operations team will not have to redo the various manipulations (injection, ramping, bunching...) that have been already done for the protons.
