Son of director Alejandro Jodorowsky
Y La Bamba
La Bamba, Luz Elena Mendoza returns to themes of searching, metamorphosis, shared humanity and for a faith that is greater than just religion.
Born in San Francisco, she spent her childhood summers playing in the orchards of California's San Joaquin Valley with her cousins, and it was there that she soaked up the melodies and stories that were being told through traditional folk songs with three-part harmonies.
Songs that are conversations that been sweeping, in a playful and vulnerable way in its ripe with both musical and personal discovery.
From the intimate, contemplative verses of the Spanish-language to the revelations delivered over the loping beats of her sounds remaining emotionally raw.
These are songs built to soundtrack coming to grips, not just with one's own mortality, but with the fragility of the world. This is heady, emotional fare, and "this record is about being a mother to these emotions," Mendoza says.
"I am thankful for all of my hardships,they have guided me to find rest in my soul, time after time. Over and over again."

Before you decide on a hosting package based solely on price, you really need to think about the needs of your business, not just now, but in the near future. For the most part, WAHM businesses are small operations, however, you don't want to sell yourself short when it comes to choosing a hosting plan. Your budget should definitely be a consideration, but if getting the best plan for your website means stretching it a little, it could turn out to be a worthwhile investment in your business.
Before you choose a WAHM hosting package, here are 3 things you need to consider: What does your website consist of? A website with a few pages of text and pictures isn't going to require a substantial amount of disk space, so a package offering 50 MB of disk space will be sufficient. However, if you have many graphics, pictures, text, scripts, and a database, then you will want to choose a package with 100 MB to 500 MB of disk space to accommodate your current needs. Determining the size of your website is a big factor in choosing a hosting plan, so make sure you take the time to understand what your business consists of. What are your short term business goals? Even if you do not have a large website right now, you need to think about the short term goals that you want to accomplish. Are you planning on adding more products or services to your current line? Do you want to start a mailing list? Do you want to add scripts, such as a blog or project management program? Do you plan on increasing your traffic flow? All these things eventually add up to more disk space usage, and if you go ahead and pay for a year's worth of hosting of a small package, you could find yourself in a jam when you run out of disk space. Spend a few minutes jotting down your short term goals, so that you will have a better idea of how your business is going to progress in the next few months.
Once that's done, it will be easier to select a wahm hosting package that is suited to your goals. What are your long term business goals? A common occurrence with wahm businesses is that they tend to grow much more then anticipated, and plans quickly change. Understanding what your webhost offers in their hosting packages can save a lot of hassles in the long run, like having to switch hosting providers. Carefully review all the features and guarantees.
If your future growth means adding a team of sales representatives; will you be able to do that with your hosting package? Don't make the mistake of jumping in with both feet just because the price is right, you have take into account the short and long term needs of your business, not to mention customer support and uptime. The last thing you want is a support team you can never get in touch with, a website that is always down, and a hosting package that doesn't suit your business. Review the hosting features and prices, reflect on your business goals, and make sure you ask questions if there is something you don't know, or understand before you choose a package!.

Podhráz (deutsch Podhras, auch Podhraz) ist ein Ortsteil der Stadt Holice in Tschechien. Er liegt unmittelbar westlich von Holice und gehört zum Okres Pardubice.

Geographie
Podhráz befindet sich in der Pardubická kotlina (Pardubitzer Becken). Die Ansiedlung liegt unterhalb der Einmündung des Baches Poběžovický potok zu beiden Seiten des Ředický potok und bildet die östliche Fortsetzung des Dorfes Horní Ředice. Nordöstlich erhebt sich die Homole (264 m n.m.), im Südwesten der Chvalák (263 m n.m.). Östlich von Podhráz verläuft die Staatsstraße I/35/E 442 zwischen Hradec Králové und Holice, südlich die Staatsstraße I/36 zwischen Sezemice und Holice.

Nachbarorte sind Vysoké Chvojno, Hluboký und Podlesí im Norden, Pod Homolí im Nordosten, Holice im Osten, Roveňsko im Süden, Komárov, Lány u Dašic, Velké Koloděje und Kladina im Südwesten, Horní Ředice im Westen sowie Chvojenec im Nordwesten.

Geschichte
Die erste schriftliche Erwähnung der unterhalb des Dammes des Holitzer Teiches gelegenen Mühle Podhraz erfolgte 1789.

Im Jahre 1835 bestand die im Chrudimer Kreis gelegene Einschicht Podhraz aus einer zweigängigen Mühle und war nach Holitz konskribiert. Pfarrort war Holitz. Um die Mühle entstand im Zuge des starken Wachstums der Gemeinde Ředice eine Ansiedlung. Bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts blieb Podhraz der k.k. Kameralherrschaft Pardubitz untertänig.

Nach der Aufhebung der Patrimonialherrschaften bildete Podhráz ab 1849 einen Ortsteil der Stadt Holice im Gerichtsbezirk Holitz. Ab 1868 gehörte die Ansiedlung zum politischen Bezirk Pardubitz. 1869 hatte Podhráz bereits 212 Einwohner und bestand aus 48 Häusern. Der Holitzer Teich wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts trockengelegt. Zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde die Ansiedlung als Podhráze bezeichnet. Im Jahre 1900 lebten in Podhráz 263 Menschen, 1910 waren es 259. 1930 hatte die Ortschaft 222 Einwohner. Im Jahre 1949 wurde Podhráz dem Okres Holice zugeordnet, seit 1960 gehört der Ort wieder zum Okres Pardubice. Beim Zensus von 2001 lebten in den 55 Häusern von Podhráz 146 Personen.

Officials issue national strategy to fight child sex crimes
By Terry Frieden, CNN Justice Producer
Holder unveils child protection strategy
Report says federal prosecutions of child sex crimes are up 40 percent since 2006
In 2009, report says, more than 2,400 alleged offenders were indicted
Attorney general says new strategy will create database for coordinated case
Washington (CNN) -- With child sex crimes in the United States sharply increasing, federal officials Monday issued a "national strategy" to combat child exploitation in homes, on streets and over the internet.
Top federal law enforcement officials led by Attorney General Eric Holder vowed to take new steps to stem rampant child pornography, online enticements, child prostitution and child sex tourism.
In a detailed report submitted to Congress on Monday, the Justice Department says that since 2006, when the government launched Project Safe Childhood, federal prosecutions have increased by 40 percent, and more than 8,600 defendants have been indicted. More than 2,400 alleged sex offenders were indicted in 2009 alone.
"Tragically, the only place we've seen a decrease is in the age of the victims," Holder said.
Officials said the average age of girls targeted for child pornography is 12 to 14, while the average age of boys targeted is 11 to 13.
The attorney general spoke to a crowd gathered at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Alexandria, Virginia. He was joined by officials from the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Postal Inspection Service.
Authorities say the national strategy will create a national database to allow agencies to better coordinate their cases, engage in undercover operations, share intelligence and conduct analysis on dangerous offenders and future threats.
A teenage girl identified only as "Melissa" then spoke of her years as a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of her father, from her pre-school days through her elementary school years. Her father has since been imprisoned.
She talked of her suicidal thoughts and self-blame, but said she has been able to overcome much of the trauma. She was praised and applauded by the gathered government officials for her willingness to speak out to help highlight the great personal costs and psychological problems encountered by victims of child abuse.

Hilltop Hoods :: The Hard Road: Restrung
Matt Tomer June 12, 2007
"The Hard Road: Restrung" is an ambitious effort. Everything about the album shouts grandiosity, from the gorgeous, illustrated cover art to the orchestral tune-ups of the Hilltop Hoods' original smash-hit Australian LP. That's right – what was once a normal, boomety bappety, hippity hoppety, MPC-produced album was given the ultimate "remix," in the form of the 31-piece Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Now THAT'S doing it big.
The whole "restrung" concept is one not well-known in the hip-hop world. Jay-Z has experimented with both live, unplugged versions of his songs AND a mash-up project with nu-metal giants Linkin Park, while M.O.P. has recorded an entire album over heavy metal guitar, but rarely do hip-hoppers give the wind and strings department a call. Why? One would think it's simply too expensive, but also because Beethoven's 5th isn't so street.
The project's closest comparison would probably be with that of Kanye West, as he invited Jon Brion's orchestra to help in making "Late Registration" the modern classic that it is. Only the Hoods don't do it so subtle. The string versions are truly gorgeous, but the sound is decidedly more epic. The whole album is like a cross between John Williams and Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind – an idea Star Wars heads would be sure to cream themselves over. Indeed, the beats would suit any number of major motion pictures, and with a mix of soul samples, it bears even further comparison to the college dropout's aforementioned LP.
While the music is great, the lyrics are equally refreshing as emcees Pressure and Suffa truly do avoid the easy path – often rapping about personal struggles and hardships. The title track speaks in particular, where both Suffa ("and bail me out, a failure out once again/next weekend, bail me out, drunk again") and Pressure ("but that's the breaks, right? Starting working late nights, never seeing daylight, getting paid like a slave might") are outstanding. Braggadocio is given a backseat (for the most part), and even when it does shine through, it's still clever enough to avoid sounding clichéd.
"Conversations from a Speakeasy" is a waltzing, jazzy head-nodder, and Mystro and Braintax lend two excellent guest spots to "Obese Lowlifes." Often, the strings only help emphasize the dopeness of the beats, as "City of Light" bumps over an acoustic guitar that could have served itself. "Clown Prince" follows nicely, with a light vibe perfectly accentuated by the Orchestra's delicate plucking. My only grudge is that a similar descending melody is shared throughout the listen, and as a result, some of the album sounds as if it's on repeat.
Perhaps to commemorate the platinum selling (70,000 units) Australian LP "The Hard Road: Restrung" would look to be the alternative to the norm, instead of doing the whole double-disc, remix thing. Included in the liner notes are a lyrics booklet and more pretty illustrations. The road might have been hard but the listen sure isn't.

Bringing the Anabaptist Past into a Digital Century
Submissions & Contact
What do Public History's methods have to offer Anabaptist History (and the Anabaptist Future)?
Posted on November 29, 2016 by tedmaust
Mainstream (that is, acculturated) North American Anabaptist denominations have made efforts to reach outside of ethnic and geographical boundaries in many ways over the last century and a half. Beginning with the resettlement of Mennonite Refugees in the 1870s and continuing with mission and service efforts at home and abroad, these efforts have had varying amounts of success (however success is quantified). If this is a continuing social and evangelical goal for these denominations and the populations that compose them, the discipline of public history can provide strategies and techniques to achieve it.
Public history is a field that doesn't like to be pinned down. Academic programs branding themselves as "Public History" sprang up in the 1970s in response to a shortage of jobs in academia, but the work the newly minted public historians did had a long history. Many of the products of the discipline—exhibits, archives, lectures, oral history, monuments and markers—were the only history products that existed prior to the nineteenth century and the Rankean professionalization of academic history. In the early twentieth century, public history had flourished in the form of the Works Progress Administration and the National Parks Service.
In the last half century, the field of public history has tried to define itself, often settling for the distinction that it is concerned with history outside of the academy. Yet at the same time public history has proliferated within the academy, with new public history programs emerging every year. Part of this explosion of interest is pragmatic: with fewer tenure-track jobs in the humanities available than the number of graduate students, departments must prepare their pupils for life outside of the academy. In part, however, public history is the logical extension of the social history movement of the 1960s. Public history often seeks to decentralize history through such tenets as shared authority. In the prologue to Museums, Monuments, and National Parks: Toward a New Genealogy of Public History, Denise Meringolo argues that public history is "practicing history not simply in public but rather for the public" (italics in original). By engaging in collaborative work with inter-disciplinary methods, Meringolo suggests, public historians who self-identify as such primarily see their work as public service.
So what would specifically Anabaptist public history look like? Or to put the emphasis differently, what would public Anabaptist history look like? Or what does it look like? Within the field of Anabaptist History, we already have many institutions that could be called public history: archives and libraries, local and regional historical societies, and interpretive exhibits in museum settings, to name a few. In several cases, multiple elements are present together, as in the Mennonite Heritage Center in Harleysville, PA, and Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society, which combine exhibit space with library and archives. Efforts such as Lancaster Roots, a calendar of cultural events by the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society and 1719 Hans Herr House & Museum, take history out to churches and invite people in with specific programming on cultural crafts, as well as lectures.
However, these institutional settings tend to be intrinsically conservative in nature. Jarrett M. Drake has written about the oppressive experience of archives, which protect the resources within them through the tyranny of "silence, solitude, and surveillance."1 Furthermore, archives often exclude people by virtue of their accessibility—located far from public transport or open for limited hours—or simply by the hoops would-be researchers must jump through—registration, fees for copying through convoluted mechanisms, etc.
On this blog in recent months we've seen calls to "deterritorialize" Anabaptist History from Felipe Hinojosa and Jason B. Kauffman. What could that look like?
The Lancaster Longhouse at the 1719 Has Herr House & Museum (created in collaboration with Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society, the Circle Legacy Center, and local American Indian groups) is one example of public history in an Anabaptist context, though its creators may not have envisioned it as such. The digital archive of a (relatively) diverse Anabaptist web presence by Mennonite Church USA's archive (begun under Colleen McFarland Rademaker's tenure as archivist) is another way forward.
Lancaster Longhouse at the 1719 Hans Herr House & Museum
This is the work of history but it has bearing on the present and future reality. The Longhouse and the MC USA web archive are both attempts to share authority with communities that have been held at arm's length, at the the periphery, by Anabaptist denominations and academia. If Anabaptist denominations want to move toward a more diverse population (racially and otherwise) within North America, the techniques of public history present one way toward reconciliation and engagement with populations that have been excluded, offended, or oppressed by the church and/or the academy. This could also be an opportunity to connect with Amish and Plain communities who have been left out of the academic history of the last fifty years other than as subjects of academic work (and the Lancaster Roots approach is especially suited for this outreach). At the root of all of those efforts must be a willingness to cede truth-telling power, truly collaborate, and have projects and the greater church move in directions that weren't expected or hoped for.
More traditional public history institutions can make changes to deterritorialize their collections. Archivists can identify collections that have been overlooked—those that provide a window into the lives of the evangelized as well as the missionaries, the lives of women as well as men, and the lives of Anabaptists whose sexuality was not recognized as legitimate by their social and religious communities, among others—and invite scholars to tell the stories they contain. Traditional methods such as historic preservation can be used in areas outside of the traditional Anabaptist enclaves—some of the first 1-W or MVS units could make fascinating historic house museums. Some changes could be painful. The Heinrich (Henry) Voth collection in the MC USA archives could be repatriated to the Hopi Reservation, for instance, even though the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) doesn't extend to photographic materials.
The work of public history is not apolitical. As an example of the aims and methods of public historians in this country, it is instructive to read the National Council on Public History's editorial in the wake of the presidential election.2 The whole piece is worth a read, but here's the crux of the argument:
"Promoting education and dialogue will likely not be enough to ensure that human rights are respected. Public history exhibits and projects provide people with tools to parse how fear and self-interest can be manipulated, but if we want to walk our talk, our institutions will need to continue to strengthen emerging practices of direct engagement and civic action that we see around the field."
While standing up for immigrant, minority, and refugee rights fits comfortably within Biblical calls to action, historians working in MC USA-affiliated organizations may find that advocacy for other vulnerable groups, such as LGBTQ Americans (which is also within the scope of "the least of these") puts them in political or ethical quandaries at work. Historians may find themselves, in the coming years, in the public arena against their will, as our own Tobin Miller Shearer did this week when he was listed by an alt-right group for "advanc[ing]leftist propaganda in the classroom."
This work is not simple. As Philipp Gollner cautions, it will be easy for white progressive voices to drown out others, even while seemingly asking for input.3 The Mennonite world that I grew up in was proud of its humility, multiculturalism (even while being predominately white), and progressivism. Yet that very progressive identity can shield against self-reflection. Humility, self-examination, and willingness to listen when others tell you that you are wrong are all necessary in this work.
More pragmatic concerns are where the financial and social capital would come from to develop more innovative public history programming. The Anabaptist historical institutions that exist have long histories, yet little surplus that they could gamble on an ephemeral program that may or may not have the desired effect. Our colleges face tough financial times, and the departures of Lancaster Conference and others from MC USA have put fund-raising throughout the Mennonite non-profit world in jeopardy in ways that may have knock-on effects.
So what does public Anabaptist history look like in a North American context and what should or could it look like? Our institutions have been resourceful with the budgets they've been given, but also tended to take conservative forms. I want to see Anabaptist Historians (the folks who contribute to this blog as well as the broader field) try new ways of making history that get out of our fellowship halls and our college campuses and our archives and combine the concerns of our religious community—pacifism, social justice, and the Dominion of God—with the methods and verve of public history. As public history moves toward disruptive techniques that cede control and challenge traditional narratives, public Anabaptist historians should do the same. As the greater discipline hears a call to activism, public Anabaptist historians should embrace the same call, especially where it aligns with the ethics we espouse in our congregations and households. We should approach the challenges that come—including funding shortfalls and awkwardness—with humility as well as fervency.

As the archivist for the repository where the H. R. Voth papers are held, I find it frustrating (maybe I should use a stronger word like infuriating) that the Voth papers are always talked about, especially in Mennonite circles, without the commenter ever bothering to find out what the facts of the matter actually are.
Heinrich R. Voth was a General Conference Mennonite missionary in Oklahoma in the 1880s (Cheyenne and Arapaho) and in the 1890s in Arizona (Hopi). He became known as a major early ethnographer of Hopi language and culture. His extensive photographing of private/secret religious ceremonies and his early 20th century publications with the Field Museum of detailed ceremonial descriptions are widely reviled among Hopis who are knowledgeable about cultural/historical matters. Voth's surviving photos, field notes, and other documents are at the Mennonite Library and Archives.
The MLA has been in regular contact with the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office since at least 1994. HCPO staff have visited the MLA in person to review the Voth collection (and also the Kauffman Museum to review the handful of Hopi-related artifacts there). We have routinely provided scans or other copies of Voth materials as requested by the HCPO. I personally asked the head of the HCPO back in 1994 what requests or requirements they would have related to the Voth materials. As a result, our policy is that any ceremonial/sensitive material (photos, field notes, etc.) cannot be used for publication or research unless the user consults with the HCPO. (This is the same policy as the Northern Arizona University archives, which houses archival materials for the HCPO.)
In 2011, after scanning a number of Voth photos requested for a Hopi exhibit on traditional agriculture, I realized that technology had progressed to the point where I could digitize the entire Voth photo collection onto one device and give it to the HCPO. It took me about 3 years to scan and organize around 2300 negatives and prints (over 100 gigabytes). In March 2015, I took the USB drive in person to the Hopi tribal offices in Kykotsmovi. They requested that this be done at a meeting of the full tribal council, so I had to give an improptu speech about the photo collection and its context and answer questions from council members. It was a major high point of my archival career.
The HCPO, like most historical organizations, has limited resources and has to set deliberate and considered priorities. They have limited space for archival storage (and store some of their materials at NAU a couple of hours drive away, as I said above). Their major long-term priority right now is the retrieval of ceremonial artifacts (and reproductions of such artifacts); you might have noticed occasional news articles about their efforts over the last few years to stop auctions of Hopi items by art auction houses in France.
I have heard MCUSA administrators suggest that, because Hopi culture tends to be somewhat conflict-avoidant and frowns on ordering people around, they won't tell us what they really want in connection with repatriation matters. This is a blatant, paternalistic, racial stereotype. If one pays attention to what the Hopis are actually doing (by reading the Hopi Tutuveni newspaper, for example), one can see in cases like the French auctions or in the case of the recent book Mesa of Sorrows that the HCPO aggressively pursues its priorities. They rallied the entire Arizona congressional delegation, the US attorney general, the US ambassador to France, and other governmental officials to press their case in France. So I have no doubt that if and when they have new requests related to Mennonite archival materials they will make that known very clearly.
By the way, I don't think it can clearly be said that NAGPRA does not cover archival materials. I'm not aware of a definitive ruling on this. When I asked the administrator of the NAGPRA program in the National Park Service this question several years ago, she told me that it was an open question.
More broadly, I really don't like how archives and archivists are so often portrayed as arch-reactionaries when, on the contrary, they have been thinking about and acting on issues of diversity and inclusion for literally decades.

Thank you for your very thoughtful and thorough response, John, you provided a lot of context for me and for our readers. I applaud you for the way in which you've acted as a facilitator and caretaker for these sensitive cultural artifacts and provided the HCPO with digitization. That is not an easy job and it is a valuable service. Thank you for the work you do! I apologize for my tone in referring to your archive; it was unnecessarily flippant for such a sensitive topic. I regret that I did not do my due diligence in learning the current status of the collection.
You are very right that archivists' thoughtfulness about issues of access and diversity is admirable and has run ahead of other parts of scholarship. I would argue, however, that archives are intrinsically reactive in that they are collections of material created by others. You cannot create an archive before there is something to contain. The very effort to conserve is conservative. I intended my suggestion that the Voth collection "could be repatriated" not as chiding your institution for malpractice but as an example of the kind of proactive, radically decolonizing moves that I think archives could and should make. Waiting for oppressed people to ask for their stuff back is its own kind of oppression.
Thank you for reading and taking the time to respond, John. You've given me a lot to think about. Plus now I want to go read up on NAGPRA more closely!

Thanks to airlines that offer free stopovers, you can explore two cities for the price of one.
Instead of having customers wait for connecting flights at the airport, airlines have begun offering free stopover options to allow you to tour a new locale for a few days before continuing on your trip.
The options they offer vary, from shorter stops to some that stretch for an entire week and even offer a local to escort you on your discoveries.
We've pulled together 12 airlines you can snag a free stopover from, whether you're interested in exploring Tokyo or Helsinki.
Take in the Art Nouveau buildings, hip cafés, and boutiques of Helsinki and enjoy a free Finland stopover for up to five days with Finnair at no additional cost.
The stopover is applicable to customers flying through Helsinki and includes activities that range from catching the Northern Lights to experiencing the country's famed ice saunas.
Customers traveling from any of the airlines' 11 international destinations can enjoy a free stopover on each leg of their journey and soak up the sun in Honolulu.
There are no limitations on the number of days you can spend on your stopover, though customers traveling domestically will need to pay an additional $60 for a stopover.
Travelers taking a flight with Icelandair can enjoy up to seven nights of a free stopover in Reykjavík, where they can enjoy everything from dipping in the Blue Lagoon to taking in natural sights like volcanic terrain, glistening lakes, and cascading waterfalls.
The airline even offers a Stopover Buddy, where a local will take you to the country's hidden gems during your stay, free of charge.
Customers flying on TAP Portugal, the flag carrier airline of the country, can snag a free stopover in Lisbon or Porto for up to three nights at no additional airfare cost, in addition to getting exclusive offers and discounts.
You'll need to have booked an intercontinental round trip for the offer to apply, but those who do will get access to a range of restaurants where they'll be treated to free wine and hotels they can book for lower rates.
Connection times between flights that are longer than six hours mean you can get a free stopover in Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver through Air Canada at no additional airfare charge.
Hotels are also free for customers flying business class, premium, economy, or using a Latitude fare, while rates start at $49 per night for Tango and Flex customers.
With KLM, customers can take advantage of two free stopovers in Amsterdam, as they are entitled to at least one free stopover on the outbound ticket and another free stopover on the inbound ticket.
Already known for its ultra-cheap flights, WOW air allows its passengers to stop and explore Iceland at no additional cost on return flights between North America and Europe via Iceland.
Simply choose the stopover option in the airline's booking engine when selecting a return flight online to qualify.
Etihad Airways offers free stopovers for its first class, business class, and Residence guests flying on confirmed Etihad Airway tickets through Abu Dhabi.
Customers can explore the airline's home city of Abu Dhabi free of charge, and score a free additional night at a hotel if booking a two-night stay.
Japan Airlines' free stopover options vary depending on flight destinations, but customers can snag a free stopover in Tokyo, for example, on flights that originate from North America.
For flights that have a connecting wait time of 24 hours or less, customers flying with Turkish Airlines can get out of the airport and explore Istanbul's historic sights free of charge.
As part of the Touristanbul program, guests will be picked up from the airport and taken to restaurants and landmarks throughout the city before heading back for their next flight.
Thanks to a new limited offer from the airline, customers flying to Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, China, Japan, India, Iran, or Europe can now claim a free hotel voucher for an overnight stay in Bangkok, courtesy of the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
The specific offer is for travelers flying from Australia and for bookings made before March 31.
Copa Airlines, Panama's flag carrier, and the Panama Tourism Authority promote a free layover in Panama, though you will need to ensure you request to reserve your itinerary with a stop in Panama before completing your ticket purchase to get the deal.

Applications Information
Wire OR'ing The /RESET Output
Because the RESET output is open-drain, several reset
sources can be wire-ORed, in parallel, to allow resets from
multiple sources.
VCC Transients
The MIC6315 is relatively immune to negative-going VCC
glitches below the reset threshold. Typically, a negative-going
transient 125mV below the reset threshold with a duration of
20µs or less will not cause an unwanted reset. If additional
transient immunity is needed, a bypass capacitor can be
placed a close as possible to the MIC6315.
Microprocessor Reset
The /RESET pin is asserted whenever VCC falls below the
reset threshold voltage or if /MR (manual reset) is forced
low. The /RESET pin remains asserted for the duration of
the reset timeout period after VCC has risen above the reset
threshold or /MR has returned high. The reset function ensure the microprocessor is properly reset and powers up in
a known condition after a power failure. /RESET will remain
valid with VCC as low as 1V.
The /RESET output is a simple open-drain N-channel MOSFET structure. A pull-up resistor must be used to pull this
output up to some voltage. For most applications, this voltage will be the same power supply that supplies VCC to the
MIC6315. It is possible, however, to tie this resistor to some
other voltage. This will allow the MIC6315 to monitor one
voltage while level-shifting the /RESET output to some other
voltage. The pull-up voltage must be limited to 6.0V or less
(absolute maximum) to avoid damage to the MIC6315. The
resistor must be small enough to supply current to the inputs
and leakage paths that are driven by the /RESET output.
/RESET Valid at Low Voltage
As VCC drops to 0V, the MIC6315 will no longer be able to
pull the /RESET output low. At this point, the pull-up resistor
will pull the output high. The value of the pull-up resistor and
the voltage it is connected to will affect the point at which
this happens.

Q: Vertex algebra confusion In Blumenhagen's book on CFT, the authors have defined $\bar{v}(\bar{z})$ to be the antiholomorphic part of the vertex operator for a free bosonic CFT, $V(z,\bar{z})=:\exp{(\alpha X(z,\bar{z})}):$ where $X$ is the field.
Then on page 52, right after the 3rd equation they claim that $[L_0, \bar{v}(\bar{z})]=0$. $L_n$ are the Laurent modes of the EM tensor. I don't understand why this is true.
$\bar{v}$ is composed of the operators, $\bar{j_n}$, the Laurent modes of the operator $\bar{j}=i\bar{\partial}{X}$. Using the OPE of primary anti chiral fields with the EM tensor (equation (2.40) in the same book) I tried to prove that the EM tensor modes commute with the anti chiral modes but it's not working.

A: They have put all the anti-holomorphic dependence into $\bar{v}(\bar{z})$. So for holomorphic modes of stress energy tensor $[L_n, \bar{v}(\bar{z})]=0$. For anti-holomorphic generators $[\bar{L}_n, \bar{v}(\bar{z})]\neq0$.
Field $X(z, \bar{z})$ have holomorphic and anti-holomorphic parts in Laurent expansion (2.89). Then from equation (2.40) with $h=\bar{h}=0$ you can find commutation relations for $L_n$ and anti-holomorphic modes of $X(z,\bar{z})$. It's straightforward to show, that result is zero.


Joule inverts the canister and preheats the fuel for more efficient output.
Jetboil is upping the ante with Joule, their new stove system that combines the fuel efficient improvements of their Helios stove with a larger pot for car camping or groups. As with all Jetboil systems, it packs down nice and neat inside its own 2½-liter pot.
Not only does the Joule eek out every last drop of butane fuel by inverting the canister, but it also preheats the fuel by running the fuel line through the flame for maximum efficiency. The preheat of the fuel will really help at altitude, or snow camping. An updated valve also allows for more adjustment range on the flame, so you can bring water to a boil fast, then turn it down to simmer while your dehydrated food cooks, or for cooking perishables slowly on an old fashioned cast iron skillet.
The overall package is a lot larger than you may be used to with a Jetboil logo on it, something you will appreciate if you want a lot of capacity, something Jetboil's classic Flash and Sol systems simply lack. The extra bulk of the 2-quart pot make the Joule something you wouldn't normally carry in a pack on a long trip, except if you're divvying up group gear in which case, it takes less space than two or three smaller systems.
Another, less obvious improvement is the metal walls around the heat exchanger coils. This does two things. First, it protects the exchanger grid from being easily damaged and two, it provides a way for the pot to latch to the stove.
Jetboil is claiming boil times for one liter with the Helios style stove at 2 minutes, 40 seconds. After a long day on the trail being that means 3-4 people could be eating withing 15 minutes of firing the Joule up. That'll be music to a lot of folks ears, and tummies. Biggest bummer is it won't be available until February 2014.

Don't become rubber stamps of political parties: Er Rasheed to admin.
AIP President Er Rasheed on Thursday urged state administration not to become rubber stamps in hands of political parties.
Addressing a gathering at Khari Ramban Er Rasheed said that AIP is the only viable political alternative that can truly and sincerely speak for the political aspirations of people of the state. "To hide their failures, all these parties have been constantly misusing their position and not allowing AIP to take its mission to every nook and corner of the state," he said.
Er Rasheed said that neither talking about resolution to Kashmir dispute amounts to being communal nor fighting against VIP culture, mis-governance and nepotism is a crime.

'Why So Serious?': Child Abuse in the Dark Knight
November 11, 2016 June 3, 2020 3 min read Joshua R. H. Parsons Child Abuse, Film
With a knife in hand, the purple-clad, face-painted Joker springs up from the pool table, retorting in his own self-indulgent way, "You wanna know how I got these scars?"
The Joker then details a narrative of a father who "was a drinker and a fiend." One night his father goes "off crazier than usual" and his mother "gets the kitchen knife to defend herself." He explains how his father disapproving of this "takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it." As a matter of consequence, the young child witnesses this gruesome scene, and when the father notices the son, he asks jovially, "Why so serious?" The father then inserts the knife blade into the son's mouth and blares, "Let's put a smile on that face!"
Now, the Joker refocuses and nonchalantly echoes to his present victim, "Why so serious?"
Seldom does a father so intentionally, so literally, so physically scar his own child. The actions, nonetheless, of our parents and the mentors of our youth bear heavily on our psychological, social, and neurological development. We are the products of our upbringing, forged in the furnace of youth, notched in the wilderness of experience.
Violent trauma in childhood proves both especially enduring and complex. "The intersection of childhood and violence raises several problematic issues that demand a synthesis and reformulation," explains Jill E. Korbin, a cultural and medical anthropologist at Case Western Reserve University. "Although it is perhaps simplistic to say that both childhood and violence are culturally constructed categories, it is nevertheless the case that violence is not a unitary phenomenon nor is childhood experienced similarly everywhere."
For without these fundamental assumptions being explicitly stated, "it is impossible to understand the variability of experience involving children and violence."
Martin H. Teicher, a psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School, notes that "in the early 1990s mental health professionals believed that emotional and social difficulties occurred mainly through psychological means." And interestingly, "[c]hildhood maltreatment was understood either to foster the development of intrapsychic defense mechanisms that proved to be self-defeating in adulthood or to arrest psychosocial development…."
Basically, researchers paralleled the mind to software, in which any problem could be amended, reprogrammed, or just altogether erased. Just rewrite the code.
The research of Teicher and his colleagues suggests alternatively that childhood maltreatment leads to a failure in the hardware of the mind, owing to biological and chemical alterations early in mental development. Significant brain-wave abnormalities were clinically found in 54 percent of patients with a history of early trauma, whereas in only 27 percent of non-abused patients. These electroencephalogram (EEG) anomalies reached 72 percent in those with "documented histories of serious physical and sexual abuse." (Emphasis added.)
When abuse of children occurs, it happens during a critically formative time when experiences are physically sculpting the brain, the structural self. The severe stress of these experiences, as Teicher adds, "can leave an indelible imprint on [the brain's] structure and function. Such abuse, it seems, induces a cascade of molecular and neurobiological effects" that are irreversible.
These accreted brain-wave abnormalities appear to manifest in criminal activity later in life. When controlling for earlier involvement in violent behavior and a vector of sociodemographic characteristics, Ross Macmillan, a sociology professor at University of Minnesota, shows that "adolescent victimization almost tripled the odds of both violent and property offending in adulthood, doubled the odds of domestic violence, and increased the odds of problem drug use by almost 90%."
Thus, each generation lives out the violence, habits, and scars of the preceding generation. Even though teasing out the causation of childhood violence and later-life outcomes is a challenge, much can still be reasonably drawn.
For example, the "life trajectory," which Macmillan discusses more in his research, can map even the Joker. In short, the Joker can be best described as a stray bullet or a dog chasing cars—without agency, without a plan. However, his origins root in parental abuse, and his chaotic, adult self-launches from this muzzle of victimized youth.
The Joker embodies the now embrowned sins of his father, as we embody those of our parents, and as our children will embody ours. If only the child's mind lived in a vacuum, one would not be burdened by the scars of his or her elders. Yet, we live not as such, but as living sculptures chiseled by many.

Concept Car Toyota i-Road
One of the show cars built by Toyota automaker for the Geneva Motor Show needs some additional and more thorough look, the new model will be called i-Road. This sleek, urban electric car made for two people, was created according to the scheme "tandem". Japanese still do not provide the information about the new product, but in some teasers they promise us a compact car (especially in terms of width) and also engaging in ride.

Toyota Gains Awards
Toyota and Ford received the largest number of awards in the annual competition of the US News "The best cars for the money." All kinds of competitions and rankings exist in the automotive world, but probably the most pretentious name was picked up by the guys from US News. They conduct an annual awards ceremony, "The best cars for the money." This year trophies were awarded in 21 nominations, and the greatest number of them took Toyota brand along with Ford.

Lexus GS of New Generation
As it is known, in the new generation of GS has experienced a loss. The line lost Motors V8, so now the ride on the GS 460 will soon fail. However, mindful of how fairly clumsy and not that good in terms of handling a previous GS was, and especially in the version of "460", we can assume that we have nothing to regret. The role of the top version of the brand is now assigned to the hybrid.

Erik Ten Hag's faith in Antony could help the struggling Brazilian be star of the club

When United signed Antony for €100 million, he became the second-most expensive player in the club's history.
Even at that time, critics and fans were skeptical as to whether the player was worthy of this fee.
In a new analysis by The Athletic, they ask the question as to whether the transfer fee was justified and whether fans and pundits were right to expect so much from the player, just because of the fee involved.
Antony joined the club from Ajax. After suffering back-to-back Premier League defeats at the start of the season, the club had a sense of urgency about getting the deal over the line.
They wanted to back their new manager and his choices just as they had during the pursuits of Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia.
Ajax's Chief Executive and former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar told The Athletic at the time, "We would have liked to keep (Antony) here one year longer — there was not a dire need to sell him, we had money in the bank… but the fee got so high. We challenged United to go as far as possible. When you want a player, you probably pay a little bit more."
He became the 13th most expensive footballer of all time and with that came a lot of scrutiny and pressure.
Consistently in the starting 11, he has had some good moments since he joined but recently his performances have come under the microscope and his frustration is becoming evident.
He was the first to be subbed off against Arsenal and also made way in United's mid-week game against Crystal Palace and the most memorable moment was his on-field dispute with teammate Bruno Fernandes following a wayward pass.
One of his biggest limitations that fans and pundits alike have picked up on is his reluctance to use his right foot.
As The Athletic describes, "The sight of him bursting into space then cutting back onto his left, declining to try to beat a full-back on the outside, has become all too familiar."
Although his goal and shot output have transferred over from the Eredivisie, he is yet to register an assist with his new club.
He has struggled to beat his opponents this season, something he was doing twice or more times per 90 minutes with Ajax.
It could be that he is still adjusting to life in the Premier League and though fans may be losing faith in the Brazilian, Ten Hag's belief in him is unfaltering.
Aside from the Manchester derby on January 14, Antony has been in the opening line-up for every Premier League game, when fit.
As the article further points out, that is partly because he has little option. His other wingers are right-footed and prefer to play on the left.
Marcus Rashford who is in the form of his life, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Elanga all prefer to play on the left flank.
However, he starts because Ten Hag believes in him too and there is reason to believe that as Ten Hag develops and moulds this United team, Antony will develop too.
Although the price tag may still be over-inflated, it is clear that the club are benefiting on the pitch from backing their manager and his decisions regarding players.
Antony himself has since spoken out on social media saying that he is "seeking to evolve to give my best to the team."
Time will tell how well he adapts and what an impact he could have on the club but with Ten Hag's belief he could prove to be a long-term success.

Plumages
Diurnal, partial, short- to intermediate distance migrant (most movements <1500 km); rarely makes water crossings of > 25 km. Although the species is not known to migrate trans-equatorially, small numbers of migrants in se. Costa Rica each autumn (P. Porras, pers. comm.), together with observations of three migrants at a migration watchsite in n. Colombia in autumn 1999 and 2000 and spring 2000 (Castaño R and Colorado Z 2002 Castaño R, A. M. and G. J. Colorado Z. (2002). First records of red-tailed hawk Buteo jamaicensis in Colombia. Cotinga 18:102.
), suggest that small numbers migrate at least as far as s. Central America and n. South America in most years.
Migration is complex and varies annually depending on weather, especially the extent of prolonged snow cover. Overall, northernmost populations migrate earlier than more southerly populations, apparently in a leap-frog manner (Bent 1937b Bent, A. C. (1937). Life histories of North American birds of prey, Part 1. U.S. National Museum Bulletin no. 167.
). Many birds breeding in northern regions migrate south, remaining absent from breeding grounds for 3–5 mo. Even in harsh winters with extensive snow cover, however, some northern birds over-winter near their breeding territories (e.g., Lowe 1978 Lowe, C. (1978). Certain life history aspects of the Red-tailed Hawk, central Oklahoma and interior Alaska. Master's Thesis, Univ. Alaska, Fairbanks.
). Many birds breeding in mid-latitudes (45°–50°N) over-winter near breeding territories. Those that vacate the breeding range may remain absent for only a few weeks. Most breeders in the s. U.S. and n. Mexico are resident year-round and share over-wintering grounds with migrants from farther north. South of n. Mexico, most birds are resident year-round.
Spring migration begins as early as Feb, but northern breeders may arrive on breeding grounds as late as Jun (see Figure 6). Compared to immatures, adults over-winter closer to breeding range and arrive on breeding grounds earlier (Haugh 1972b Haugh, J. R. (1972b). Hawk migration, eastern North America. Search 2:1-60.
, Brinker and Erdman 1985 Brinker, D. F. and T. C. Erdman. (1985). "Characteristics of autumn Red-tailed Hawk migration through Wisconsin." In Proceedings of the fourth migration conference., edited by M. Harwood, 107-136. Rochester, NY: Hawk Migration Association of North America.
). Generally, juveniles begin autumn migration earlier than older birds (Haugh 1972b Haugh, J. R. (1972b). Hawk migration, eastern North America. Search 2:1-60.
, Geller and Temple 1983 Geller, G. A. and S. A. Temple. (1983). Seasonal trends in body condition of juvenile red-tailed Hawks during autumn migration. Wilson Bulletin 95:492-495.
), but, reportedly, this pattern is reversed in Alaska (Kessel and Springer 1966 Kessel, B. and H. K. Springer. (1966). Recent data on status of some interior Alaska birds. Condor 68:185-195.
). For arrival times at breeding sites, see also Breeding: phenology.
During autumn in e. North America, migrating individuals concentrate along topographic features known as leading lines where their numbers are monitored at more than 125 traditional migration watchsites in Canada, the US, Mexico, and Costa Rica (Kerlinger 1989a Kerlinger, P. (1989). Flight Strategies of Migrating Hawks. University of Chicago Press, Chicago, IL, USA.
, Zalles and Bildstein 2000 Zalles, J. I. and K. B. Bildstein (2000). Raptor Watch: a global directory of raptor migration sites. Kempton, PA, USA: Birdlife International, Cambridge, UK; and Hawk Mountain Sanctuary (Birdlife Conservation Series No. 9).
). Migration in w. North America proceeds along a broader, more diffuse front, with few locations reporting high densities in autumn or spring, and with considerable yearly and seasonal variation in the number of individuals counted (Hoffman et al. 1992b Hoffman, S. W., W. R. DeRagon and J. C. Bednarz. (1992b). Patterns and recent trends in counts of migrant hawks in western North America, 1977-1991. Unpubl. report.
Eastern Red-tails from northern latitudes begin moving south in Aug; migration usually ends by early Dec. Red-tail counts during autumn migration at Hawk Mountain, in e. Pennsylvania, have averaged 3,329/yr since 1934 and 3,679/yr in 1990 through 2005 (Hawk Mountain). Bednarz et al. (Bednarz et al. 1990b Bednarz, J. C., D. Klem Jr., L. J. Goodrich, and S. E. Senner (1990). Migration counts of raptors at Hawk Mountain, Pennsylvania, as indicators of population trends, 1934–1986. Auk 107:96–109.
) reported a decline in Red-tail numbers at Hawk Mountain from 1971 through 1986.
A more recent analysis (1976 – 2004) indicates decreasing trends of 1.9% (P < 0.01) per year at Hawk Mountain and 1.8% (P > 0.10) at Cape May Bird Observatory in s. New Jersey. Ninety percent of all Red-tails pass Hawk Mountain and Cape May between 9 Oct and 1 Dec and 9 Oct and 27 Nov, respectively, with peak migration typically occurring during the 1st week of November at both sites (C. Farmer, D. Hussell, and D. Mizrahi, pers. comm.). Red-tails made up 18% and 4% of the overall flights at Hawk Mountain and Cape May, respectively, in 1976-2004, the difference between the two reflecting, in part, the tendency of this species to migrate along inland rather than coastal corridors.
Autumn migration in ne. Wisconsin exhibits a bimodal pattern, with initial northbound movements of dispersing juveniles mid-Aug through mid-Sep, followed by a major southbound movement in early Oct through mid-Nov, initially of immatures, with adults predominating in Nov (Brinker and Erdman 1985 Brinker, D. F. and T. C. Erdman. (1985). "Characteristics of autumn Red-tailed Hawk migration through Wisconsin." In Proceedings of the fourth migration conference., edited by M. Harwood, 107-136. Rochester, NY: Hawk Migration Association of North America.
). Farther west, autumn counts at Goshute Mountains, NV (1983-2001), Lipan Point, AZ (1991-2001), Wellsville Mountains, UT (1977-1979, 1987-2001), and Manzano Mountains, NM (1985-2001), averaged 2,962/yr, 1,760/yr, 502/yr, and 616/yr, respectively, with all four sites reporting consistent increases through the mid-1990s, but mixed trends since then through 2001 (Hoffman and Smith 2003 Hoffman, S. W. and J. P. Smith. (2003). Population trends of migratory raptors in western North America, 1977-2001. Condor 105 (3):397-419.
Autumn migration generally ends several weeks earlier in w. North America than in e. North America, with approximately 95% of movements at interior sites in the West occurring between 23 Aug and 2 Nov (Hoffman et al. 1992b Hoffman, S. W., W. R. DeRagon and J. C. Bednarz. (1992b). Patterns and recent trends in counts of migrant hawks in western North America, 1977-1991. Unpubl. report.
The direct path between breeding and wintering areas of Red-tails trapped along the Kittatinny Ridge in e. PA determined from banding data was 215° (Holt and Frock 1980 Holt, J. B. and J. R. Frock. (1980). Twenty years of raptor banding on the Kittatinny Ridge. Hawk Mountain News 54:8-32.
), a direction that coincides with mean track directions and headings of visible migrants in central NY State (Kerlinger et al. (Kerlinger et al. 1985a Kerlinger, P., V. P. Bingman and K. P. Able. (1985a). Comparative flight behavior of migrating hawks studied with tracking radar during migration in central New York. Canadian Journal of Zoology 63:755-761.
) -- indicating that Red-tails typically fly directly toward migratory goals.
Regional details pertaining to timing and routes (largely from banding recoveries) have been reported for a few areas across the U.S. Sixteen Red-tails recovered in Arkansas (wintering) were banded outside the state, mostly on breeding grounds, but some during migration. The paths between banding and recovery showed a longitudinal dichotomy in the distribution of Red-tails that over-winter in Arkansas. Birds recovered in e. Arkansas originated from nesting areas east and north of the mid-western states, whereas those recovered in w. Arkansas originated in prairies to the north and west of Arkansas (James and Neal 1986 James, D. A., and J. C. Neal (1986). Arkansas Birds: Their Distribution and Abundance. University of Arkansas Press, Fayetteville, AR, USA.
). Although none of the recovered birds were identified to subspecies, the pattern suggests that migratory Red-tails over-wintering in e. Arkansas are primarily borealis and those recovered in w. Arkansas primarily "kriderii" and calurus.
Red-tailed Hawks banded as young in sw. Idaho travel long distances (>1500 km) with a strong directional bias (Steenhof et al. 1984 Steenhof, K., M. N. Kochert, and M. Q. Moritsch (1984). Dispersal and migration of southwestern Idaho raptors. Journal of Field Ornithology 55: 357–368.
). Nine of 12 distant returns were southeast of the breeding grounds; 6 in coastal lowlands of Mexico and Guatemala. Recoveries of autumn migrants banded or color-marked along the Kittatinny Ridge in e. Pennsylvania indicate that ridge-flying migrants there overwinter in s. Pennsylvania and Maryland, south to the Carolinas and the Florida panhandle, and west to central Kentucky, and breed at least as far north as s. Quebec (Holt and Frock 1980 Holt, J. B. and J. R. Frock. (1980). Twenty years of raptor banding on the Kittatinny Ridge. Hawk Mountain News 54:8-32.
, B. Silfies, pers. comm.).
Thirty Red-tailed Hawks captured during autumn or spring migration in New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington (1999-2000), that were outfitted with satellite transmitters and tracked for up to 2.5 yr, followed the expected boundaries of the Rocky Mountain, Intermountain, and Pacific Coast flyways (sensu Hoffman and Smith 2003 Hoffman, S. W. and J. P. Smith. (2003). Population trends of migratory raptors in western North America, 1977-2001. Condor 105 (3):397-419.
), respectively; with most demonstrating both high inter-season and among-year migration path fidelity, and with one individual traveling as far south as s. Guanajuato, (central) Mexico (J. Smith pers. comm.).
Timing and rate of migration are influenced by weather, particularly snow cover, and food supply. Cold fronts stimulate movements at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, with increased rates of passage on the first two days following frontal passage (Allen et al. 1996 Allen, P. E., L. J. Goodrich, and K. L. Bildstein (1996). Within- and among-year effects of cold fronts on migrating raptors at Hawk Mountain, Pennsylvania, 1934–1991. Auk 113: 329–338.
). Contrarily, high prey availability may delay migratory movements (Craighead et al. 1969 Craighead, J. C., F. C. Graighead, and J. C. George (1969). Hawks, Owls and Wildlife: Photographs by the Authors. Dover, New York, NY, USA.
). Overall, there is considerable local movement of over-wintering birds in response to weather fluctuations and prey availability (Preston 2000 Preston, C. R. (2000). Red tailed hawk. Mechanicsburg, PA: Stackpole Books.
). An abnormal mid-Sep peak in migration in Tadoussac, s. Quebec, in 2005 consisting almost entirely of adult individuals, was attributed to a catastrophic breeding failure in e. Quebec (B. Droulet, pers. comm.). During migration along ridges in mid latitudes, Red-tails exhibit gliding flight more frequently (> 79%) than any other form of flight. Individuals are more likely to engage in thermal soaring and gliding early in autumn, and slope soaring and gliding later in the season, due to seasonal shifts in availability of these respective types of updrafts (Maransky et al. 1997 Maransky, B., L. Goodrich and K. Bildstein. (1997). Seasonal shifts in the effects of weather on the visible migration of Red-tailed Hawks at Hawk Mountain, Pennsylvania, 1992-1994. Wilson Bulletin 109 (2):246-252.
Kerlinger (Kerlinger 1989a Kerlinger, P. (1989). Flight Strategies of Migrating Hawks. University of Chicago Press, Chicago, IL, USA.
) reported mean air speed as 60 km/h and mean ground speed as 47 km/h for ridge-gliding Red-tails. Average altitude of 196 migrating Red-tails radar-tracked in one study was 839 m (Kerlinger et al. 1985a Kerlinger, P., V. P. Bingman and K. P. Able. (1985a). Comparative flight behavior of migrating hawks studied with tracking radar during migration in central New York. Canadian Journal of Zoology 63:755-761.
). Red-tails generally migrate alone, or in small, loosely organized flocks and tend to avoid crossing large bodies of water, thus concentrating along shorelines, peninsulas, and similar topographic features.
Among autumn migrants trapped along Lake Michigan in central Wisconsin, juveniles caught later in the season were fatter, better muscled, and smaller overall than those caught earlier, presumably because the latter were from more northerly populations, with less time to prepare for their migrations, or because they had traveled father before being trapped (Geller and Temple 1983 Geller, G. A. and S. A. Temple. (1983). Seasonal trends in body condition of juvenile red-tailed Hawks during autumn migration. Wilson Bulletin 95:492-495.

Keeneland acquires Thoroughbred Times library via auction
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 6, 2013) – Keeneland officials announced today that the Keeneland Library has secured the Thoroughbred Times library collection, which was recently sold via an online auction.
Approximately 10,000 volumes and 57 file cabinets comprising books, journals, historic clip files and photographs are among the contents acquired by Keeneland. The collection will be open to the public once it is inventoried and cataloged.
"The Thoroughbred Times library is an extremely well-crafted collection," said Keeneland Library Director Becky Ryder. "Much of it will fill gaps in Keeneland's collection, and some of it will be used in future digitization projects. The photographs and photographic negatives are unique, priceless resources that will greatly enhance the work of researchers."
Books and journals, some dating from the 19th century, which cover an extensive range of Thoroughbred-related topics, highlight the Thoroughbred Times collection. Featured among its other contents are complete runs of such fundamental titles as The Blood-Horse, Daily Racing Form Monthly Charts, Thoroughbred Record and Thoroughbred Times, as well as such historical materials as The Spirit of the Times, Turf Field and Farm, Irish Racing Calendar and British Racing Calendar.
The collection includes stallion registries and stud books from Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin America and the United States.
Keeneland also acquired approximately 220,000 photographic prints and 250,000 digital images from the 1940s to the present.
The Thoroughbred Times, a trade magazine covering the Thoroughbred industry, was published from 1985 until September 2012.

"We will give back to mother earth the respect and sanctity she rightfully deserves. We will make our lands, waters and air inviolable. We will spiritually cleanse the lands that have already been violated. We will take back our place as the rightful caretakers of our territory and far exceed the provincial and federal standards, for they are lax and inefficient"
When Hupacasath Chief Judith Sayers and council decided to harness the power running through their lands, the result was a best practices model of how to build a small hydro project.
Widespread opposition to the Duke Point natural gas facility in the late '90s was the impetus for council to explore other options for resource development in the Hupacasath territory near Port Alberni, B.C. When faced with the possible environmental impacts of another electrical development, Hupacasath knew they needed to be intimately involved in the planning, decisions and development to minimize negative effects and ensure the First Nations shared in the benefits.
Hupacasath opposed the gas generator and, more important, offered an alternative solution. In 2003, with help from researchers at the Pembina Institute and Sigma Engineering, the Hupacasath council identified China Creek as having run-of-river hydro potential (run-of-river refers to energy produced when water is diverted out of a creek and flows over a vertical drop).
In October 2006, Hupacasath launched the China Creek Micro-Hydro Project through Upnit Power Corporation – upnit means "a calm place" in the Nuu-chah-nulth language. The micro-hydro dam is 72.5% Hupacasath owned with minority partners from Ucluelet First Nation, Synex International Subsidiaries and the City of Port Alberni. Upnit began business with a secure 20-year BC Hydro contract to supply power to up to 6,000 homes.
The 2006 launch of China Creek was more than five years in the making. While the Hupacasath knew they couldn't allow the devastation of their lands and water, they also knew that more power was needed on Vancouver Island. Given their earlier opposition to traditional power projects, council recognized that both their and the Port Alberni communities would be watching. It was important that the First Nation not do anything in their own developments that they had opposed in the past.
* Securing creative financing to enhance rather than strain the resources of the nation including a $250,000 loan from Ecotrust Capital as part of a $8.5 million debt syndicate arranged by VanCity Capital.
Patience, partnerships and focus on environmental sustainability were keys to the success of the China Creek micro-project.
Fuelled by the Duke Point opposition through the 1990s, Hupacasath began looking for alternatives at the turn of this century. In 2002, they developed the community energy plan. It was two years later that ground was broken for what would become the China Creek micro-project and a further two years until construction was completed in 2006. The success of the project was not a quick fix but came over time.
With little experience in business partnerships, Hupacasath had to actively pursue a partnership strategy that would make the project viable. "On this particular project, we decided who we wanted as partners and courted them with information and opportunity." said Sayer. It was important to the First Nation to find partners whose values were the same and who they knew they could work with over a long-term. Upnit is a success because it partnerships are based on mutual trust, cooperation, understanding of each other's needs, and commitment to achieve a common goal.
Consistent with the Hupacasath's traditional respect for the land, the nation worked very hard to ensure China Creek had no negative impacts on the surrounding land or fish habitat. "At the outset, we were told this project was too hard for First Nations. Now, people come from all over the world to learn the best practices for generating power," said Sayer. Hupacasath are proving that it's possible to produce energy locally, profitably and sustainably — without devastating the environment.
The effective governance principle of Economic Realization means that governments possess the right and the tools to develop their land into sustainable economies.
As Hupacasath have never ceded, surrendered or released any part of their territory to any government and retain all of their rights and title under their Constitution Act that right is theirs. They have the right to realize wealth through participation in resource development and through leveraging those resources to access additional sources of revenue beyond their communities. Aboriginal title includes an inescapable economic component. This is a legal right that First Nations must realize to benefit their citizens and finance their governments.
The deliberate actions taken by the Hupacasath have benefited their citizens, increased their financial and human resource capacity, and raised their profile while honouring their traditional roles as stewards of their land and its resources.


While the status of the brick-and-mortar industry may be the catalyst for presenting a unique real estate opportunity, the most successful deals hinge on the forward-looking resources and combining the owner's vision with the right construction/design expertise and due diligence on the property itself to identity any costly or logistical hurdles in getting to the desired result.
Buying and selling shopping centers has become increasingly common in recent years—as the brick-and-mortar retail industry looks for a way to save and reinvent itself in the face of Amazon and other e-commerce systems. For the longest time, the conventional wisdom was that shopping centers were an incredibly low-risk real estate investment because the tax incentives offered by local authorities were so attractive. In fact, this practice is probably artificially prolonging the existence of large-scale, increasingly empty shopping malls. These incentives haven't really changed. If anything, they've metastasized to other types of commercial real estate. The thing is they're no longer enough. Not to make a decent profit.
If you're thinking about buying a dying shopping mall or retail center, you may have plans for a major facelift or a wholesale transformation of the property outside of the retail sector. There are plenty of examples of modern-day shopping centers that are thriving as a destination for all kinds of entertainment and consumer services.
Then, there are also plenty examples of shopping centers that have, in fact, died only to be resurrected as something else entirely—corporate headquarters/office space, luxury apartments, medical centers, among others. Given the sagging market large-scale retail centers vs. other types of commercial real estate, many real estate investors are looking at poor-performing retail locations more as blank slates than any direct investment in the brick-and-mortar retail industry.
Indeed, these wholesale turnovers help explain why a depressed market like brick-and-mortar real estate can nevertheless, be an active market. Many commercial real estate investors with ties to the retail industry are getting out, while a different crop of investors moves in to deliver a new generation of consumer services and a new vibe for the public marketplace.
As such, it's no surprise then that buying a failing shopping center can be a high-risk/high-reward proposition. It can take quite a bit of investment capital to remake a shopping center, but whether it's a new kind of marketplace, a new kind of residence, or a new kind of medical center, shopping center venues that can begin to reclaim most of their appeal as a site for hosting large numbers of people are often able to generate an attractive ROI.
While the status of the brick-and-mortar industry may be the catalyst for presenting a unique real estate opportunity, the most successful deals hinge on the forward-looking resources and combining the owner's vision with the right construction/design expertise and due diligence on the property itself to identity any costly or logistical hurdles in getting to the desired result. This is true whether you're looking to stay in the retail space with a modern shopping center design or whether you're looking to head in a new direction altogether.
In a nutshell, Exclusive Real Estate Agents may not be able to do anything about the trajectory of the retail industry and how Americans do their shopping, but we can help you determine the possibilities and fair market value for buying a shopping center in today's market.
