Bill of lading is the receipt of goods and document of title. In the above scenario the master of Mv.County should not have signed the clean bill of lading and would have instead claused the bill of lading mentioning the rusty steel cargo which would have given the accurate description of goods, or he could have issued two bill of lading one for the good cargo and another for the damaged one (oxidised steel). In the court of law this bill of lading cannot be used as an evidence by the ship owner to support that the cargo was damaged before collision ie. it was damaged before loading. Signing a clean bill of lading is false representation of the condition of cargo by the shipper to the buyer and Letter of Indemnity cannot be used in the court of law for justification of the damaged cargo (oxidised steel). If the cargo carried by the shipper was in good condition with clean bill of lading, the shipper could have claimed for the cargo loss from the cargo insurer but since this was not the case the buyer can sue the carrier for damages and recover the loss from them or from the insurance underwriters who in turn will claim from the ships P&I. If the shipper/buyer of the cargo proves that the cargo was damaged during carriage and the carrier (master) has not exercised due diligence they can sue the carrier as the master has signed clean bill of lading.
The carrier shall exercise due diligence before and at the beginning of the voyage to keep the vsl seaworthy by properly manning, equipment and supply and the spaces of the ship fit and safe for the reception, carriage and preservation of cargo (Hague Visby Rule Article III). 'A ship is deemed to be seaworthy when she is reasonably fit, in all respects, to encounter the ordinary perils of the seas of the adventure insured''- Marine insurance Act. Solas regulation (Chapter V) states that the vessel should have at least two operational radars and non compliance of these rules will be breach of Solas regulation. Master/ Owner of MV.County where aware about the faulty radar, but the vessel still sailed to sea and therefore not performing due diligence for the sea worthiness of the ship. The seller can sue the carrier for un-seaworthiness and claim for the damages. If the carrier proves that due diligence was exercised and the vessel was seaworthy on sailing and the faulty radar was unforeseen, neither the carrier nor the ship shall be responsible for loss or damage (H-V rules Article IV para 2).
To mitigate the loss the master have to provide evidence and records of log of all events, navigation equipment status at the time of collision supported by printout records of these equipments.
In the case of MV.Westoe she departed in a seaworthy condition. The medical evacuation of the chief officer whilst on her voyage due to unforeseen circumstances will not declare the vessel unseaworthy. However the defendant can sue MV.Westoe for collision damage if proved that MV.Westoe was under staffed and was not meeting the Safe Manning criteria and that the staff was overstressed and fatigued and not complying with the ILO work and rest hours requirements and proper and efficient lookout was not maintained during the time of collision. If proved the Hull and Machinery insurance will be paying for the structure damage of Mv.County and if not proved then County's Hull and Machinery Insurance will bear cost of the damage.
If the ship has exercised due diligence then the shippers cargo insurers will pay for the loss of the damaged cargo. If the vessel did not performed due diligence the loss for the lost and damaged cargo will lie under particular average and the shipper can claim for the damaged cargo from the cargo insurer who in turn will claim the amount from the ship owner or from his P&I insurance. The damage to the hull lies under particular average. The loss for damage caused to hull will be borne by H&M insurance (3/4th RDC by H&M and 1/4th by P&I). If the cause of collision lies on the other vessel the vessel's H&M insurance can claim the cost from the other vessel's (MV.Westoe) H&M.
The owner and master were aware of the faulty radar equipment, but the vessel still sailed well knowing that the vessel is unseaworthy. Marine insurance policy requires the vessel to be seaworthy at the time of sailing. As these conditions have not been met the vessel cannot be covered under hull and machinery insurance.
The collision caused severe hull damage and water ingress and there was threat to life, property and environment. The master wisely opted for Lloyds Open Form (LOF). Delay in salvage operation would have caused excessive flooding and the vessel would have sunk leading to loss of life, harm to environment by pollution and loss of cargo. By opting LOF the master saved the valuable time which can be utilised in towing the vessel to the safer place. Lloyds open contract is simplified and the agreement can be made by radio or other telecommunication means. A copy of this agreement need not to be on board and can be signed on later date. LOF is based on ''no cure no pay'' which means the salvor will only be paid if the property is saved i.e. no reward will be made for an unsuccessful salvage. The reward paid does not exceed the total value of the vessel and the cargo onboard. The agreement is not likely to be disputed.
On the vessels behalf it should be checked whether B/L is as per 1994 or 2004 rules. It is recommended by the P&I club to use 1994 rules. If 1994 rules are followed it will come under general average i.e. the expense will be borne by both H&M and P&I insurance.
General average is "An extraordinary sacrifice or expenditure intentionally and reasonable in time of peril for the purpose of preserving the property imperilled in common maritime adventure". (ref college handout). The above statement means that there should be at least two parties involved for general average to take place. The sacrifice or loss made should be intentional/ deliberate in order to preserve life property or environment. As act of collision is not intentional the damage sustained to hull and machinery as a result of collision will not be general average however the loss of cargo by jettisoning to save the vessel is intentional and will come under general average. Good recordkeeping of events supported by evidence is beneficial in the settlement of general average claims.
Marine insurance is to overcome the insurer against marine loss. The insurer and the assured play a relation of utmost good faith. P&I (protection and indemnity) is marine insurance against 3rd party liabilities, ¼ RDC death injury and property claim. It is an association formed by individual ship owners to protect themselves and other ship owners against marine losses which are not covered by their underwriters or out of the abilities of their marine insurer. It is a non profit making organisation to support and share the losses of its members. The club provides free guidance on the scope of cover provided by the club. Some of the risks covered by P&I are against injure, illness or death, collision, pollution, damage to property or cargo, salvor expenses etc. Hull and machinery insurance provides covers against any physical damage to hull and its machinery. Most of the hull and machinery policies cover third party liability and 3/4th RDC and the rest is covered by P&I.
During the investigation it was revealed that MV.County sailed with the faulty radar. The un-seaworthiness of the vessel deprives the owner of the vessel from general average contribution from the cargo owners and the owner cannot claim salvage cover and all the expenses arising will be paid by the ship owner. All incurring cost after the salvage operation will be settled by the ship owner.
Investigation supported that the vessel sailed in a seaworthy condition and therefore the owners can claim for the insurance. The loss/ damage to cargo due to collision will come under particular average and not under general average. To claim for general average the act should be intentional and sacrificial in order to save life, property and environment. The cargo owner can claim the loss for the damaged cargo from their cargo insurer.
The loss of cargo due to jettisoning of 300 tonnes of timber will come under general average as the action was intentional to prevent further water ingress due to collision which could have caused the vessel to sink or capsize resulting in total loss of property and damage to environment. The ship owner can claim for general average contribution for the lost timber and every one will bear the loss.
The hull damage caused due to collision will come under particular average as collision is an unintentional act. Hull and Machinery will bear the loss incurred.
The vessel sustained only minor hull damage and opted for "Daily hire agreement". This towage agreement is cheaper and is beneficial when the vessel is having safe time to negotiate between different parties before entering into agreement with one party. In this way the owner can hire the most suited but still cheap salvage assistance. However in case where risk is imposed to the vessel in terms of loss to cargo, life or environment this type of towage agreement may not be suitable as it takes time to negotiate between the parties offering salvage assistance. A reward will be given to the salvour for the salvage operation as per criteria laid down in salvage convention (article 13).

Liu, Jessica, When The City Died
LIU, JESSICA
Age: 13, Grade: 8
School Name: Nyc Lab Middle School For Coll Studies, New York, NY
Educator: Nora Kurtz
When The City Died
The alarm went off and the lights flashed red. Joe and the other workers at The Center merely glanced at each other, but they knew. They walked to the emergency sector and entered the room. Another patient had made the decision. Joe saw the others, wrapping the body and putting it in The Machine, where they put the rest.
This was a familiar sight for Joe. Joe belonged in the patient department and he helped provide treatment for the patients. Joe often heard the bell ring from the church that informed the workers that more had given up.
The Center contrasted the rest of the city; it was the only thing keeping it alive. Because of this it was always busy for the workers. Joe and his team were in charge of looking after Mr. Brown. It had only been 5 years since The Revolution, but The Center had more patients than ever before. Life was hard for everyone, but it was especially so for those like Mr. Brown. He was a slow man who could never fit in with the fast-paced world. He liked reading books and going outside and drawing on paper with a wooden pencil. Truly traditional was Mr. Brown, who found it hard to adapt to the usage of technology and the strict laws of The Council.
Joe liked looking after Mr. Brown. Even though Mr. Brown refused to use the headset at times and take his immunity pills, even though Joe always got castigated by The Council when Mr. Brown ate food instead of taking his injections and drinks like a normal person. Sometimes, Mr. Brown made Joe and the other workers uncomfortable when he insulted The Council despite knowing that they could hear every word he said.
Mr. Brown still tells stories about the time before The Revolution, when life was better. Mr. Brown told them a story about the time when people still walked everywhere and how he wished they stopped using cars and floating disks. Joe would tell Mr. Brown about the time when all the students at school were excited when the headset came out since they didn't have to go to school anymore. He told Mr. Brown about their shock when they were sent into concentration camps to "strengthen their immunity" and that when they came back all the buildings had been bombed to make space for technology areas and Centers. He complained about how they couldn't play sports in real life and that sometimes The Council would take control of their disks and ram them into land mines or use the programs in their headsets and masks to suffocate them and get rid of people just to make space for themselves. And though everyone knew it went against everything The Council said, they all wished that life would go back to the way it was before, when everyone had a choice and they were all free.
Even the children liked to visit Mr. Brown and listen to the stories about the beauty of the skies and the oceans that had since then dried up. The children were young, but they understood that the stories were real even though it seemed like a fairy tale; they would learn about colors and they would hold the crayons they got up against the grim, gray sky, trying to imagine how it'll look, but it was hard to imagine something they've never seen. Mr. Brown taught the children things The Council would never teach, like breathing without the mask, and learning how to read and write using the old language. Life was not boring anymore with Mr. Brown and the happy attitude of the workers as they all played board games and made cool bracelets. The children saw Mr. Brown everyday until the very last day when they heard the alarm, saw the flashing lights, and sadly followed the workers into the emergency sector. And there was Mr. Brown, ready to say goodbye, before Joe and the workers wrapped him up and put him in The Machine, and now the whole world was really colorless.

This thesis explores the ways that Christians can contend for justice in a globalized world at the same time that they are complicit in structural injustice. This thesis first argues that throughout the Scriptural witness justice is characterized as the individual's care for the neighbor. Next, it demonstrates how structures at the local level mediate relationship between individuals. Third, it argues that the American church in general is ill-equipped to deal with these issues because it has been misshaped by individualism and consumerism, and the practice of material sharing is recommended as a corrective. Finally, this thesis draws upon the work of Wendell Berry and Wes Jackson to argue that an economy of place embodies the biblical concept of justice as care. The argument concludes with a proposal for local church bodies to invest in just structures within their own cities.

As some of our readers will likely have heard, Google has been trying to roll out a rich communication services client for Android. Rich communication services is a messaging platform that supports tons of functions that aren't present in normal SMS or even most services with a web backend, such as Google's own Hangouts or Facebook's Messenger. Features like sharing of large videos, sound snippets and native emoji support, as well as deep integration with other apps, are typical of the platform. While Google has the blessing of Sprint for their rich communication services platform, T-Mobile has decided to go their own way with an app called Advanced Messaging. While few providers and developers have adopted rich communication services just yet and Google's own attempts are still in their infancy, T-Mobile's Advanced Messaging is used by over 5.5 million users on T-Mobile's network.
T-Mobile was the first carrier to introduce a service based on rich communication services back in July of last year and has quickly gained ground in the field. At this point, about 40 million messages are delivered via rich communication services per day, according to a statement that T-Mobile made to Fierce Wireless. Competitor AT&T launched their own Advanced Messaging platform back in November of last year, but has yet to gain as significant a user base for it as T-Mobile has found for their own service. Part of the success of T-Mobile Advanced Messaging platform is due to the fact that roughly 6 million existing T-Mobile handsets support the standard out of the box, with very few users knocking the platform simply because it's not an option for them.
Outside of T-Mobile's sphere of success, however, rich communication services as a platform isn't doing so well. Worldwide, rich communication services apps and services are passed over en masse in favor of apps like Messenger, KakaoTalk and WhatsApp. In South Korea, two large carriers went as far as to announce they were discontinuing their own rich communication services clients, citing the popularity of local favorite KakaoTalk. The general consensus is that if Google fails to create and popularize a good rich communication services client, the platform will likely be well on its way to becoming a footnote in tech history.

All the celebrities who want to take over 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'
James Corden is rumored to be replacing Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, as she continues to face intense criticism for allegations of a toxic work environment.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show is now reportedly the focus of an internal investigation by its parent company, WarnerMedia, amid accusations of a toxic workplace culture, racism, and sexual harassment – along with reports that the 62-year-old wants to quit the show.
Corden, who hosts The Late Late Show, is now the favorite to replace DeGeneres if she decides to leave, according to a source published in The Sun. "This issue has fast-tracked everything and made everyone look at the future today. James Corden was being eyed for Ellen's job in the long term before any of this came to light. Now this shocking new development places a spotlight on the next step."
However the idea of Corden replacing DeGeneres is not making the Twittersphere happy.
Actress & trans activist Laverne Cox's name has been popping up on social media, as a number of people believe the Orange is the New Black star would be a better replacement for DeGeneres.
Poet Saeed Jones tweeted: "If y'all give the show to a straight white man, I will snap. It's obvious that @Lavernecox should take over", which received more than 5,000 likes. One response reads "But Laverne would also be perfect! She's smart, funny and all the things I need to see on TV everyday."
Cox became a household name with her role as Sophia Burset on the Netflix series. She became the first openly transgender person to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in any acting category, and the first to be nominated for an Emmy Award since composer Angela Morley in 1990.
In 2015, Cox won a Daytime Emmy Award in Outstanding Special Class Special as executive producer for Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word, making her the first openly transgender woman to win the award. In 2017, she became the first transgender person to play a transgender series regular on broadcast TV as Cameron Wirth on CBS's Doubt.
Another tweet about the Corden rumor – with more than 8,000 likes – reads: "Please let Wanda Sykes skip the line."
Sykes was first recognized for her work as a writer on The Chris Rock Show, for which she won a Primetime Emmy Award in 1999. In 2004, Sykes was named as one of the twenty-five funniest people in America by Entertainment Weekly. She is also known for her roles on CBS's The New Adventures of Old Christine, HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm and ABC's Blackish.
Sykes's movie credits include Monster-in-Law (2005), My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006), Evan Almighty (2007), and License to Wed (2007). Her voice has been featured in animated films such as Over the Hedge (2006), Barnyard (2006), Brother Bear 2 (2006), Rio (2011), Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012), Ice Age: Collision Course (2016), and UglyDolls (2019).
In March 2009, it was announced Sykes would be the host of a new late-night talk show on Saturdays on Fox, The Wanda Sykes Show. In April 2009, she was named in Out magazine's "Annual Power 50 List", landing at number thirty-five.
Tiffany Haddish
Another name on the "Replace Ellen" list is actress & comedian Tiffany Haddish. Fans are calling for the Girls Trip star to take over The Ellen DeGeneres Show as a clip of her hosting SNL is making the rounds. One fan tweeted: "I don't watch Ellen but I'd watch if @TiffanyHaddish was the host. LOVE HER!"
Tiffany Haddish leapt into the limelight with her role as Nekeisha Williams on the NBC sitcom The Carmichael Show. Her breakthrough came in 2017 when she starred in the comedy film Girls Trip, receiving acclaim for her role as Dina. She earned a Primetime Emmy Award for her work as a host of a Saturday Night Live episode and published a memoir titled The Last Black Unicorn in the same year.
Haddish currently stars in the TBS series The Last O.G. and executive produced & voiced Tuca in the Adult Swim animated series Tuca & Bertie. In 2019, Haddish voiced Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. Haddish also hosts and produces the ABC revival of Kids Say the Darndest Things, which premiered on October 6th, 2019.
In August 2019, Netflix premiered Haddish's new comedy special Tiffany Haddish Presents: They Ready. In each episode, the performer introduces one of her favorite comedians to give them mainstream exposure. The series includes standup sets from Chaunte Wayans, April Macie, Tracey Ashley, Aida Rodriguez, Flame Monroe, and Marlo Williams.
In 2020, Haddish starred in Paramount Pictures's Like a Boss, the first studio comedy of the decade.
Ali Wong
A lot of fans think Haddish's Tuca and Bertie costar Vietnamese-Chinese-American standup comedian, actress, and writer Ali Wong would make a great choice to replace DeGeneres.
Known for her Netflix standup specials, Wong enjoys the reputation of possessing just the presenting chops to take over DeGeneres's daytime slot. Wong is noted for her hilarious Netflix standup specials Baby Cobra and Hard Knock Wife, both of which received critical acclaim.
Wong is also known for her leading role in the 2019 film Always Be My Maybe, which she produced and wrote with costar Randall Park. She's currently a main cast member on the ABC television show American Housewife and previously appeared on Are You There, Chelsea?, Inside Amy Schumer, and Black Box.
Wong also wrote for the first three seasons of the sitcom Fresh Off the Boat. She voiced title character Roberta "Bertie" Songthrush on the critically acclaimed animated series Tuca & Bertie and new student Ali on the hit series Big Mouth.
So many choices
The tweeters have spoken. As one fan conspiratorially tweeted: "So many great options like Wanda Sykes, Laverne Cox, Ali Wong, Tiffany Haddish, and they're considering James Corden??"

UK seeks to break down digital trade barriers, says minister
Source:Reuters
LONDON, Sept 20 (Reuters) – Britain will look to break down digital trade barriers to help its businesses export their services, the country's newly appointed trade minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan will say on Monday.
Britain's Department for International Trade last week published a report seeking to predict trends in global trade out to 2050 which forecast that demand for digital services will double in the next decade.
"All of us depend on digital trade, yet British businesses face digital barriers in countries who take a protectionist approach," Trevelyan will say in a virtual speech to London Tech Week, according to advanced extracts released by her office.
"I want the UK to break down these barriers and open up new, exciting opportunities for businesses and consumers so we can see improved productivity, jobs and growth."
Trade deals typically focus on removing goods trade barriers, but since leaving the European Union, Britain has sought to include agreements on digital trade and common standards in professional services to spur service sector growth.
Trevelyan will use her first speech since taking up the role last week to set out the department's plan to try to shape international digital policy. This will include establishing cooperation on digital trade via free trade agreements.
Enhanced consumer and intellectual property protections and promoting the development of digital trading systems such as e-contracting are also among the plans Trevelyan will set out.
The department, which said the digital sector contributed 150.6 billion pounds to the UK economy in 2019 and employed 4.6% of the national workforce, also wants to make it simpler and cheaper for businesses which use data to trade internationally by advocating free and trusted cross-border data flows.Reporting by Kylie MacLellan; Editing by Nick Macfie

Although most Christian schools would agree on certain fundamentals, it is imperative that parents scrutinize the foundational beliefs of any school in which they may enroll their child(ren). Therefore, below are the most important philosophical elements that we at Calvary Christian Academy believe distinguish our approach to education.
We believe that the Bible clearly instructs parents, not the Church or State, to "bring children up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." The Church's commission is essentially to spread the Gospel and train believers (Matt.28:18-20). The State has been directed to enforce God's laws and protect the innocent (Romans 13). The Church trains parents and the State protects families. The Family raises and educates children (Eph.6:1-4). Therefore, under the delegation of the family, we seek to teach and discipline in a manner consistent with the Bible and a godly home environment.
God wants us to love Him with our minds, as well as with our hearts, souls, and strength (Matt. 22:37). Therefore, we seek to individually challenge children at all levels and teach them how to learn, by using the centuries-old, proven classical method (see following explanation), incorporating instruction in Latin.

When setting up our aquarium, I knew that we needed a basic thermometer of some sort to keep track of the water temperature in our tank. I had faint memories of my childhood setup, which was a floating thermometer, and hoped there was something better. It turns out there is – a readily available digital thermometer for aquariums.
Of the main options available for aquarium thermometers, I decided the digital route was desirable.
A quick search on Amazon revealed several digital aquarium thermometers. I chose to purchase one by Coralife, model 00232 . As it turns out, the others that look similar are actually exactly the same. They all pop out of the same Chinese factory, but are branded and packaged by different companies. Rest assured, they are all exactly the same, in construction, quality, and accuracy.
Other than Coralife, you can choose the HDE LCD Digital Aquarium Thermometer , or the ST-3 Aquarium Thermometer . A yellow HDE version is even available (with white wire and probe) if that's your thing. Price varies a small bit, with the ST-3 generally being the cheapest, but they are all the same product. It is interesting that the different sellers have varying product satisfaction ratings on Amazon, with the Coralife being rated slightly lower than others. Again, they are all the same; I attribute the difference to the higher expectations of enthusiast who choose to purchase from the name brand of 'Coralife'.
The Coralife (and similar) digital aquarium thermometer is unique from other temperature measuring solutions in that it separates the probe that senses temperature from the display. The probe and wire is waterproof and is to be placed inside the aquarium. It comes with a suction cup that you can use to secure the wire/probe to glass inside the aquarium.
The display unit is separate and you can place it anywhere you want. It also has a suction cup mount on the back to affix to a smooth surface. The display has a single line LCD that shows the temperature (to the nearest tenth of a degree) and the mode (celsius or fahrenheit). There are two controls on the display unit: a switch that selects the displayed units (either celsius or fahrenheit) and a power button. You hold the power button down for a few seconds to turn the unit off; a quick tap turns it back on.
The display is very clear and easy to read. I measure the height of the numerals on the display at 8.7mm tall (0.34 inches). The display is not backlit, so you do have to have some ambient light to read it.
The unit uses a single LR44 coin-cell battery. I have had the thermometer on for most of the year and the battery is still going strong.
The long length of cord that separates the temperature probe from the display readout opens up many options for use. You can place the probe anywhere in your tank, secured by the provided suction cup. The cord can then be routed up and over the tank's edge with the display mounted where you wish. You can put the display where it is readily visible, or you can hide it in an equipment cabinet.
As an alternate, the probe does not have to be mounted in the actual display tank. If you utilize a separate overflow section or sump, you can place the probe there and, if the water change rate is high enough, monitor the water temperature there and still get reasonably close to that of the display.
I have observed this aquarium thermometer in use for almost a year, using it in conjunction with a STC-1000 in my DIY Temperature Controller. It is useful to compare results from the two as I consider the STC-1000 very accurate – it allows a calibration offset, meaning I set the offset for a 0.0ºC reading with the probe in ice water.
Comparing the two units (calibrated STC-1000 vs. Coralife) the Coralife consistently reads 0.9ºC to 1.2ºC higher. The discrepancy could be considered concerning; however, the results were very consistent in tracking through a range of temperatures.
This made me curious to check the calibration of the Coralife, so I made a ice bath and tested it. If you are not following, a prepared ice bath, with densely packed crushed ice in water, is 0.0ºC. Any temperature sensing device that is suitable for that range of temperatures, should read 0.0ºC and any deviation is considered the offset.
My test showed the Coralife digital aquarium thermometer to read 1.3ºC, which confirmed the discrepancy when compared to the STC-1000.
All of this to say that I would consider this type of digital aquarium thermometer accurate, but you should probably test vs. a known thermometer you trust, or test in an ice bath. A discrepancy will need to be accounted for.
Given the focus of this website, it is worth praising the function of this format of thermometer (separated probe from display) and how it compliments the Fluval Spec Aquariums.
The Spec's all-in-one design, being very clean looking, does not benefit having an ugly thermometer hanging out in the display. For that matter, a temperature probe could still be distracting. This is easily avoided by mounting the temperature probe in the filter section, wedged between the filter block and the dividing wall of the overflow. Just push it down next to the filter so that it is fully submerged.
The Spec aquariums have a flowrate high enough to ensure the water that flows through the filer section is an accurate representation of display section water temperature. By placing the probe in the filter section, it is completely hidden. You can then route the wire over the filter block and out the opening in the lid, with the other wires of the pump and heater (if you have one).
The display can be mounted wherever. You can place it out of the way in a storage box, only viewing it when you feel the need to check. Or you can mount the display on the face of the outside glass. I didn't feel like using the suction cup mount and instead decided to use some 3M double side tape to affix it to the side of the aquarium. I placed it low and in front of the filter section, so it is unobtrusive and does not directly block the display. The 3M tape is strong, but not too difficult to remove if you change your mind.
I really like this model of digital aquarium thermometer. It is very accurate, certainly within the range suitable for fish keeping, and the ability to utilize a discrete probe and separate display lends to a clean look and many options for use.
The price can't hardly be beat. Even when compared to other traditional thermometers, like a floating thermometer or a stick-on, this digital unit comes in only a handful of dollars more. Price depends on the manufacturer you go with, but prices now range from $3 to $7 USD.
If the configuration works for your aquarium, I can recommend it as a viable solution to your temperature monitoring needs. Even if you don't use it as your regular aquarium thermometer, it is nice having one on hand to monitor water temperature for other hobby tasks, like checking temperature during water changes.

I completely agree that an incorrectly prepared ice bath will actually be higher than 32F. It may be possible for an incorrectly prepared ice back to get as high as 36 degrees F; however, If you do it properly, the actual water temperature in the center of the ice bath will be very close to 32F.
This video on how to make an ice bath (video at bottom of page) is very well done, informative, and one I can recommend. It gives the reasons ice water can read high and how to prevent this.

Since his last release on Tru Thoughts in 2006 Freddie Cruger, aka Red Astaire, has been busy travelling the world as a DJ and releasing music on his own label, Homegrown Records - one of these releases was the debut, and now extremely rare, Wildcookie 12". The Drugs EP received support from Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 1 and the lead track, Cookie Dough, also features on Cookie Dough. Wildcookie is not a one man band though; each one of Freddie's ultra-crisp productions and sophisticated synthline melodies are backed with the pitch perfect, often freestyled, vocals of Anthony Mills.
Anthony Mills has toured extensively with Harry Belafonte's All-Star Band, recorded with Krs-One, Amy Winehouse, Leela James, Maxi Priest, Snow, Sizzla, Dead Prez, Doc (Esthero), Sly Dunbar, Chinna Smith and Grace Bumbry.
Every track on the album was selected by Cruger and Mills for its particular mood; based on flow, variety and content. Cookie Dough is the result of two friends working together with no boundaries, finding new routes into making soul, hip hop, R'n'B and breaks.
In the last five years Mills has lived in Stockholm, penetrating Sweden's music and art scene including hooking up with Freddie Cruger, a native of the Swedish capital.

Air Traffic Drops Dramatically; JetBlue Delays Summer Service
Noah Asimow
Thursday, May 21, 2020 - 10:28am
After a precipitous drop in air traffic since the beginning of the pandemic, some of the Martha's Vineyard Airport's largest commercial carriers are now delaying or curtailing their summer service to the Island.
Cape Air has limited its flight schedule over the duration of the outbreak, and JetBlue, which normally arrives on the Vineyard by May 15 and offers service from Boston, New York and Washington, is not going to be arriving until at least July 1, according to airport officials. And that schedule will be severely curtailed.
Cape Air, the only year-round commercial airline on the Vineyard, will begin service from New York this week. — Mark Alan Lovewell
"It's probably half of what they had last year," said assistant airport director Geoff Freeman this week. "We will see a drastic reduction for May and June without them being here."
At an airport commission meeting last Thursday, chairman Bob Rosenbaum said it seemed unusual that JetBlue, one of the airports' largest carriers, had delayed its service by six weeks. Mr. Freeman said because of the severity of the Covid epidemic in the Northeast, the airline had temporarily ceased operations throughout much of the region, including Manchester and Providence.
JetBlue has also delayed summer service to Nantucket.
"The region took a big hit," Mr. Freeman said.
Other commercial summer carriers, like American Airlines and Delta, are still planning to come to the Island in mid-to-late June with schedules largely unchanged, and Cape Air starts service from New York this week. But if the spring is any indication, the number of passengers coming onto on the tarmac is expected to be small.
In April 2019, Cape Air, the only year-round commercial airline that services the Vineyard, boarded about 16 passengers per day on the Island. This April, the airline boarded 26 passengers — over the course of the entire month.
That's a 447-passenger decline, equating to a 94.5 per cent drop in commercial passenger traffic revenues, according to Mr. Freeman.
At an airport commission meeting last Thursday, director Cindi Martin said the decline in general aviation had been less dramatic than commercial flights during April. General aviation includes private jets and non-commercial fliers coming through the Island.
"General aviation did not slow the way commercial aviation did," Ms. Martin said.
In a followup call this week, Mr. Freeman estimated that general aviation landings in April 2020 declined in the 50 per cent range from the year prior. Overall, the airport saw a 54 per cent drop in air traffic compared to last April. In 2019, 1,026 planes communicated with the airport controllers during the month; in 2020, the number was 477.
Mr. Freeman said the airport would not be hiring its usual cohort of summer staff, and those that are hired would be done in a delayed structure.
"Our summer hires will be kept to a minimum," Mr. Freeman said at the meeting.
The airport earns revenues from a variety of places, including automobile parking, enplanements (the number of people who board planes), fuel sales, rent in the business park and landing fees, among other things.
At the meeting last Thursday, commissioner Richard Knabel said the airport was in strong financial shape despite the operational declines. He said finances remained in the black through the first 11 months of the FY 2020 budget, and that only two tenants had decided to defer rent payments in the business park.
The airport offered tenants a complicated rent deferment option due to the pandemic at their meeting in April.
"We are operating very well," Mr. Knabel said. "And we are the only transportation agency on the Island that actually is."

OLYMPIC SPORTS: SCSU Soccer Inspired By USWNT [VIDEO]
Despite their recent loss to Sweden at the Rio Olympics, the United States Women's National Soccer Team (USWNT) has historically been the one of the most dominant teams in soccer.
St. Cloud State soccer players Maria Kass and Sarah Benhart say that watching the USWNT is appointment viewing for the whole team.
"Our whole team watched the first game together," Benhart said. "We were all together and hyped up to watch it because they are an inspiration to us."
The SCSU players also follow members of the USWNT on social media to keep tabs on their favorite players.
"It's always good knowing what's going on (with the team) on social media," Kass said. "I know the new player, Mallory Pugh, is only 18 years old which is really cool. It's an inspiration for not only us, but for kids, too."
"It's always kind of a dream, thinking 'maybe I'll get there some day'," Benhart adds.
There is no shortage of colorful personalities on the USWNT, and Kass and Benhart each have a favorite team member. For Benhart, it's Carli Lloyd, and for Kass, Megan Rapinoe.
"I like her style of play," Benhart says of Rapinoe. "I think I play really similarly."
"We connect," Benhart said with a laugh. "She doesn't know me, but I like to think we are similar."
Both agree that women's soccer, and soccer in general, is certainly gaining in popularity.
"I think it's gotten a lot more popular," Kass said. "The World Cup final (in 2015, which the USWNT won) was the most watched soccer game ever."
"Even just in the US, there was a Premiere League game (at US Bank Stadium) and the stadium was filled," Benhart said. "I think that soccer is becoming more popular in the United States."

Movie Suggestion XXVII: Byeon-ho-in
byeon-ho-in, movie, south korea, suggestion, the attorney
Country: South Korea – 2013
Directed by: Woo-seok Yang
Starring: Kang-ho Song
Synopsis: "SONG Woo-seok has no clients, connections, or even a college degree, but his eye for business and appetite for money turn him into one of the most successful lawyers in town. But right at the peak of his success, a local teenager is falsely accused of a crime, then beaten and tortured while waiting in jail. Shocked by these conditions, SONG changes the course of his life, and takes on the case no one else will. This story is based on true events." (Well Go USA)
"It is not just about a desperate attorney. It is the portrait of Korean culture in its most aching and general aspect in the last 100 years. It depicts the most serious mental and social aspect of Koreans in terms of politics. To understand Korea, you need to be able to identify the different roles of the parties shown here. Mr. Song, the attorney, is the person who had the most typical life of 1970-1980s, as a social survivor in 1990s, and the political figure of 2000s. He is the late president of Korea who represented Korean minds in so many ways. If I have to pick the most Korean Korean in last decades out of media, he is the one. He is the very Korean boy, the young man, and mid-age uncle, and Korean system. This movie's value lies not on anything in its plot, shooting, or else, but it is so accurate in depicting the thinking of Koreans in the last 30 years. It is so reliably and genuinely Korean, any human being can see that it transcends the boundary of a region and country. It is well-done without much exaggeration and over acting. A master-piece and the best actors." (jong-bhak – IMDB.com)
"Classic Hollywood meets South Korean history in The Attorney (Byeon-ho-in), a stirring, fact-based drama about a group of college students in the city of Busan in the early 1980s who were falsely arrested on charges of committing pro-communist seditious activities. They were tortured and subjected to a circus of a show trial.
What makes writer-director Yang Woo-seok's feature debut special is how it handles this shocking incident with verve, style, and humor. It infuses the spirit of American crowd-pleasers such as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington or To Kill a Mockingbird into an otherwise sober, critical dissection of a dark time in his nation's history." (philly.com)
"It might have a generic title, but this Korean import combines its laughs and thrills into a powerful package. Based on a true story, the film follows the transformation of Song (Song Kang-ho) from an ambitious yet carefree tax attorney into a crusader for human rights when he takes the case of a teenager who was falsely accused of a crime, then abused by the criminal justice system. The film is able to transition seamlessly from comedy to drama, and although it threatens to become a heavy-handed message movie in the final act, a sharp performance by Song helps smooth out the rough patches." (cinemalogue.com)
"The Attorney" can be melodramatic, and first-time feature director Yang Woo-seok is not yet a singular filmmaker. But the movie is carried by its rousing pro- democracy message and a lively performance from the versatile leading man, whose credits include such notable Korean films as "The Host" and "Memories of Murder." Song Kang-ho is well cast as an everyday champion, distinguished not by superpowers but by simple decency." (washingtonpost.com)


Suicide is indeed a problem among head and neck cancer survivors, and we're hoping this issue is addressed specifically.
There were 4,513 suicides among 4,235,657 total survivors in the study, yielding an incidence rate of 23.6 suicides per 100,000 person-years. In this study, males and females were equally represented (51.2% and 48.8%, respectively), but suicide was found to occur predominantly among males: 84% vs 16% among females.
Combined, all other cancers had a 45% decreased suicide ratio compared with head and neck, for both males and females. Only male patients with pancreatic cancer had a higher suicide risk compared with those with head and neck cancer, but among females, there was no other cancer site with a higher risk of suicide than head and neck.
However, after adjusting for clinical and nonclinical variables, the investigators found that patients with head and neck cancer were almost twice as likely to commit suicide when compared with those with cancer at all other sites. "That is really remarkable," noted Dr. Osazuwa-Peters.
"Suicide is indeed a problem among head and neck cancer survivors, and we're hoping this issue is addressed specifically," he said. "What we have right now is a lot of conversation around depression, but depression doesn't always equate to suicide." Other factors, such as pain and fear of recurrence, may provoke patients to commit suicide.
Compared with patients with other types of cancer (except for males with pancreatic cancer), those with head and neck cancer were found to be almost twice as likely to commit suicide.
Psychosocial surveillance should be provided for cancer survivors at increased risk for suicide, particularly in the head and neck cancer population.
DISCLOSURE: Dr. Osazuwa-Peters reported no conflicts of interest.

Christopher J. Recklitis, PhD, MPH, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, called the results "instructive." He said the study highlights the need for integrating mental health care into survivorship medical care.

Home Sports Top 10 Fantasy Football WR Seasons of All Time
Top 10 Fantasy Football WR Seasons of All Time
Since 2010, there have been four new additions to the top WR fantasy football seasons of all time. Which superstars at the position make the list twice, and which legend graces the list three times? Let's take a look at the best fantasy WR performances of all time in a single season.
As you'd expect, over the past 25 years, 70% of this list is made up of performances from that time. However, one WR's performances surpassed his playing era, and he remains on this list three times.
Not surprisingly, this list is made up entirely of performances from 16 or 17 game seasons. However, there have been some incredible performances by receivers to date. To incorporate these metrics, the best measure is points per game (PPG). But the main list being discussed is total points, so we'll break it down here. At the bottom of the article, you can find the best fantasy WR seasons of all time in terms of PPG.
10) Jerry Rice | 253.6 fantasy points
San Francisco 49, 1989
Rice has had an incredible impact on the NFL since being drafted in 1985. He scored double-digit touchdowns in nine of his first 11 seasons and topped 1,000 yards in 11 of his first 12 years. Two of his first five seasons were impressive enough to make this list.
In the 1989 season, Rice led the league in both receiving yards and touchdowns for the second time in his career. Rice finished the year with 17 touchdowns and 1,483 receiving yards on 82 receptions. He started the season with five 100-yard games in the first seven weeks. He also scored eight touchdowns in that span.
9) Isaac Bruce | 257.8 fantasy points
St. Louis Rams, 1995
Isaac Bruce had a long and distinguished NFL career, but it was never better from a fantasy perspective than his sophomore season in 1995. At the time, his campaign of 1,781 yards and 13 touchdowns ranked third on the all-time WR single-season performance list. The quality of the season is highlighted by the fact that it took eight years for another outing to move him from that spot.
8) Antonio Brown | 257.9 fantasy points
Pittsburgh Steelers, 2014
Antonio Brown and the NFL have had a mixed relationship, but for fantasy managers, he has been a huge contributor for several seasons. From 2013 to 2018, Brown posted six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and four seasons in double figures.
The best of them was in 2014. Brown led the league in both receptions (129) and receiving yards (1,698). However, he added 13 receiving points to finish just above Bruce on this list by 0.1 fantasy point.
7) Jerry Rice | 258.8 fantasy points
Rice's second appearance on our list came in just his second season in the NFL. After posting 927 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie, he took it to the next level in 1986. Rice had 86 receptions for 1,570 yards and 15 touchdowns, both of which were league leaders. He would also add 72 yards rushing and a touchdown. That incredible sophomore season included four receptions for 100 yards and eight scores in the first six weeks.
6) Dibo Samuel | 262 fantasy points
This is the first of two 2021 appearances on the list of the best WR fantasy football seasons of all time. Dib Samuel's appearance here is intriguing because it's not achieved in the same way as the others on this list. The blueprint for this roster is over 1,000 receiving yards and double-digit receiving touchdowns.
While Samuel had 1,405 receiving yards, he only had six touchdowns. Still, he added 365 yards and eight TDs on 59 carries. He finished the year with 136 touches (77 receptions) for 1,770 yards and 14 total touchdowns.
5) Calvin Johnson | 263.2 fantasy points
Detroit Lions, 2011
This list wouldn't feel right if Calvin Johnson wasn't on it somewhere. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that he made the list just once in an extraordinary career. In nine years in the NFL, Johnson had seven 1,000-yard seasons and four double-digit seasons.
However, the only year he managed to put it all together to make this list was 2011. That season, Johnson led the league with 1,681 receiving yards on 96 receptions at 105.1 yards per game. He added 16 touchdowns, making him fifth on that list. To highlight the importance of those touchdowns, we can compare Johnson's 2012 campaign. Despite having 1,964 receiving yards, his five touchdowns left him off the charts that season.
4) Randy Moss | 265 fantasy points
Minnesota Vikings, 2003
Now we get down to the Randy Moss section of our list of the best fantasy WR performances in a single season. Moss' five-year career from 2003 to 2007 was an intriguing one. He played for three different teams and struggled to his high standards in two of them. In both directions, he produced two seasons that make this list.
The first came in 2003 with the Vikings. Moss' career began with six consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons and five double-digit touchdown campaigns. However, he peaked in 2003 with 1,632 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns, both of which were either career highs or tied at the time.
3) Randy Moss | 287.3 fantasy points
New England Patriots, 2007
In 2007, Moss would come to New England and, along with Tom Brady, put on one of the most compelling performances of all time. While he fell short of his career receiving yards record of 1,493, Moss would throw 23 touchdown passes. He was one touchdown short of tying Jerry Rice for the top spot on that list at the time.
2) Jerry Rice | 292 fantasy points
Rice last appeared on our list in 1995. Rice set a career high in receiving yards with 1,848 while adding 15 touchdowns on 122 receptions. He even added 36 rushing yards and a touchdown to those numbers. Rice's finish to the 1995 season was nothing short of remarkable. Over the past three weeks, he has 32 receptions on 42 targets for 563 yards and three touchdowns.
A Week 16 performance of 289 yards and three touchdowns on 14 receptions will likely stick in the minds of fantasy managers for a long time. This walk has won many people the fantasy championship. He is also fifth in number single-game fantasy WR performance. The 1995 season saw Rice lead the list for 26 seasons.
1) Cooper Coop | 294.5 fantasy points
Los Angeles Rams, 2021
Cooper Kupp is the WR who finally unseated Rice from the top of fantasy football's best single-season performances. However, it took Kupp all 17 games of the newly extended season to do so. Kupp's Week 18 performance of 136 yards and a touchdown gave him the 19.6 fantasy points needed to jump from third on the list to the top.
Kupp finished the season with the triple crown of receiving statistics. His 145 receptions, 1,947 receiving yards and 16 receiving touchdowns led the league. Kupp averaged 114.5 yards per game and caught an impressive 75.9% of his 191 targets.
*minimum 10 games played – This includes Wes Chandler's numbers in the strike-shortened 1982 season, as he played in eight of the nine games the Chargers played that season.

One of the somewhat under the radar moves that the Patriots made this offseason was signing wide receiver Jordan Matthews. Matthews reportedly had other offers worth more money but took a one-year one million dollar deal with the Patriots on a "prove it" type deal, which now looks like it is should pay off even more for both the Patriots and Mathews.
Matthews has been somewhat disappointing in his brief NFL career after being selected in the second round out of Vanderbilt by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2014 NFL Draft. Matthews best year came in 2015 where he finished with 85 receptions with 997 yards with 8 touchdown receptions. Coming out of college Matthews was best utilized as a slot receiver, where he was used primarily in 2015 before being moved to more of an outside receiver in 2016 where his numbers diminished slightly. Matthews was traded to Buffalo in the 2017 offseason in exchange for cornerback Ronald Darby, where he was plagued by injuries and finished with only 25 catches on the year.
With or without an Edelman suspension Matthews has the potential to put up big numbers for the Patriots as the teams number three receiver following the departure of Danny Amendola to Miami. Matthews is best utilized in the slot despite his size at 6'3 205 pounds and has the skill to step right in if he can learn the playbook and gain a familiarity with quarterback Tom Brady. Brady skipped the teams voluntary team workouts but reported this week for mandatory mini camp, and with the possible Edelman suspension looming it is pivotal that he gets in as much work possible with Matthews now and during training camp which is set to kick off at the end of July.
Butler states that he did not violate any curfew, or any other actions that have been rumored to have happened. This strengthens my argument and belief even more that Belichick made a personal decision to not play Butler other than one snap on the punt team. Belichick sat back and saw guys like Eric Rowe, Johnson Bademosi and Jordan Richards struggle, but Belichick wouldn't put his pride or ego away for the betterment of the team, and played a huge factor in why the Patriots ultimately lost the game. Belichick is known for "not putting one player above the team" but this is exactly what he did, but with himself. He put himself and what he wanted to do over what was best for the team, which was playing Malcolm Butler. And the most notable person to like this post so far, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, which is notable especially following the Seth Wickersham ESPN article that came out stating that Brady and Belichick had problems with one another.
Butler put out this statement so that his name would not be damaged due to the rumors that have been coming out about him, and this statement makes me believe even more that this as a personal decision made by Bill Belichick and his decision is why the Patriots lost the Super Bowl.
I'm sure there will be more to come out with this story, as well as several others over the upcoming weeks, and this will be a Patriots offseason like one we have never seen before.

Gravity 3D Blu Ray 2013
Country: Britain,USA
Producer: Alfonso Cuaron
Genre: Thriller 3D
Format 3D: Blu Ray 3D, SBS 3D
Cast: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Ed Harris, Orto Ignatiussen, Faldut Sharma, Amy Warren, Basher Savage, Adam Cousins

In Gravity 3D Film, Bullock will feature Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer who embarked on his maiden space flight under the command of veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney), who made his final flight before retirement. But during the seemingly routine work overboard, a disaster happens. The shuttle is destroyed, and Stone and Kowalski are left completely alone: being in one bundle with each other, they can only move around in orbit in the absolutely black space of Gravity 3D.
The deafening silence suggests they have lost all contact with Earth ... and all hope of salvation. Fear escalates into panic, and each breath depletes what little oxygen they have. And the only supposed way home is through the frightening depths of space.
The crew of the space shuttle Explorer is engaged in tuning the Hubble telescope in orbit and, along the way, is conducting other experiments in space. In Gravity 3D, Sudden Catastrophe - colliding with a cloud of space debris - turns a technical mission into a fight for survival. Two astronauts in a link find themselves completely alone, with no connection to the Earth and no hope of salvation. Oxygen and fuel are running out, and the only opportunity to return home alive is about to disappear if the lander burns up in the upper atmosphere. By and large, "Gravity 3D" is a simple film. There are a dime a dozen stories about people trapped in a desperate situation, seeking an opportunity for salvation and desperately clinging to life. They differ only in the place of action, the number of heroes and the presence or absence of a happy ending. Yes, and the "gravity" indicated in the title is the main binding force of the film, here in Alfonso Cuaron everything is also quite simple.

Sequencing of five African fishes reveals diverse molecular mechanisms underlying evolution
by Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
In an effort to understand the molecular basis of adaptation in vertebrates, researchers sequenced the genomes and transcriptomes of five species of African cichlid fishes. A research team led by scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard uncovered a variety of features in the cichlid genomes that enabled the fishes to thrive in new habitats and ecological niches within the Great Lakes of East Africa. In addition to helping explain the complex genomic mechanisms that give rise to incredible diversity among cichlid fishes, the findings from these "natural mutants" shed new light on the molecular process of evolution in all vertebrate species.
The new study, done in collaboration with scientists at Eawag Swiss Federal Institute for Aquatic Sciences and Georgia Institute of Technology, in addition to more than 70 scientists from the international cichlid research community, appears in the September 3 advance online edition of Nature.
"Our study reveals a spectrum of methods that nature uses to allow organisms to adapt to different environments," said co-senior author Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, scientific director of vertebrate genome biology at the Broad Institute, professor in comparative genomics at Uppsala University, and the co-director of Science for Life Laboratory, Sweden. "These mechanisms are likely also at work in humans and other vertebrates, and by focusing on the remarkably diverse cichlid fishes, we were able to study this process on a broad scale for the first time."
The African cichlid fishes are some of the most phenotypically diverse groups of organisms on the planet, with over 2,000 known species. Some lakes are home to hundreds of distinct species that evolved from a common ancestral species that left the Nile river to colonize particular lakes. Like Darwin's finches, the cichlids are a dramatic example of adaptive radiation, the process by which multiple species "radiate" from an ancestral species through adaptation.
The researchers wanted to examine the cichlid genome as a model system and determine what allowed these fishes to diversify broadly in a relatively short time. The researchers sequenced the genomes and transcriptomes – the RNA from ten tissues – of five distinct lineages of African cichlids. The sequenced species include the Nile tilapia, representing the ancestral lineage, and four East African species: a species that inhabits a river near Lake Tanganyika; a species from Lake Tanganyika colonized 10-20 million years ago; a cichlid species from Lake Malawi colonized 5 million years ago; and species from Lake Victoria where the fish radiated only 15,000 to 100,000 years ago.
After analyzing the data, the researchers found a surprising number of genomic changes at play. Compared to the ancestral lineage, the East African cichlid genomes possess: an excess of gene duplications; alterations in regulatory, non-protein-coding elements in the genome; accelerated evolution of protein-coding elements, especially in genes for pigmentation; and other distinct features that affect gene expression, such as insertions of transposable elements and regulation by novel microRNAs.
"It's not one big change in the genome of this fish, but lots of different molecular mechanisms used to achieve this amazing adaptation and speciation," said Federica Di Palma, co-senior author of the Nature study, formerly assistant director of
vertebrate sequencing and analysis at the Broad, and now director of science in vertebrate and health genomics at The Genome Analysis Center in the UK.
Some changes in the genome appear to have accumulated before the species left the rivers to colonize lakes and radiated into hundreds of species. This suggests that the cichlids were once in a period of reduced constraint. During this time, the fishes accumulated diversity through genetic mutations, and the relaxed constraint – in which all individuals thrived, not just the fittest – allowed genetic variation to accumulate. As the fish later inhabited new environmental niches within the lakes, new species could form quickly through selection. In this way, a reservoir of mutations – and resultant phenotypes – represented a "genomic toolkit" that allowed quick adaptation.
More work remains to fully dissect the mutations that cause each of the varying phenotypes in cichlid fish and may involve the sequencing of many more cichlid species. This effort could help explain how similar forms or traits evolved in parallel in different lakes, converging on the same morphology through distinct lineages.
Using these "natural mutants" as a model system can shed light on human biology and disease. "By learning how natural populations, such as fishes, adapt and evolve under selective pressures, we can learn how these pressures affect humans in terms of health and disease," said Di Palma.

In just a few hours here at Studio-X NYC—an off-campus event space and urban futures think tank run by Columbia's GSAPP—we'll be hosting a live interview with Ilona Gaynor. Gaynor is a London-based concept artist, filmmaker, and multimedia designer.
Her most recent short film, Everything Ends In Chaos, embedded at the start of this post, presents "a mixed-media collection of objects, narrative texts and films that reveal the intricate trajectories of an artificially designed and reverse engineered Black Swan event." A Black Swan, in Gaynor's telling of it, based on the economic work of Nassim Nicholas Taleb, is the idea that humans "are collectively and individually blind to uncertainty, and therefore often unaware of the impact that singular events can have on [their] lives: economically, historically and scientifically, until after their occurrence." Her film is thus an attempt to "reverse-engineer" such an event, piecing together chaos from order; the film's backstory, which is unfortunately quite hard to detect from the imagery alone, involves an elaborate kidnapping plot, stolen jewels force-fed to doves (which then escape from their cage and fly away), and an actuarial committee in charge of insuring against this event.
Gaynor kicks things off at 7pm tonight—Wednesday, 12 October—to be followed by an open Q&A. We'll be at Studio-X NYC, 180 Varick Street, Suite 1610. Here's a map.

X-ray computed tomography of polymer composites
Serafina Garcea, Ying Wang, Philip Withers
The use of X-ray computed tomography (CT), exploiting both synchrotron and laboratory sources, has grown significantly over the last decade, driven primarily by improvements in spatial resolution, reduction in acquisition time and the increasing availability of laboratory CT systems. It is now able to provide highly accurate three-dimensional (3D) inspections of fibre architectures, manufacturing defects and in-service damage accumulation non-destructively, allowing the user to examine cross-sections that would previously have required laborious and skilled mechanical sectioning with the potential for inducing damage or loss of material. Further, by repeated acquisition of 3D images, it has opened new opportunities for time-lapse studies. This feature article reviews the technical aspects relating to the X-ray CT imaging of composites such as obtaining sufficient contrast, examination of thin panels, sample size/resolution issues, quantification and image-based modelling. The capability of X-ray CT to provide important information is considered across applications ranging from manufacturing processes, through tensile and compression loading to fatigue and impact damage. The complementary advantages of laboratory and synchrotron X-ray CT are examined with a view to identifying new opportunities and challenges.
