Nearly half of Americans believe that the Russian government will help Republicans if it tries to influence Tuesday's midterm elections, and 4 in 10 Americans would be "much more likely" to vote if they learned that a foreign government was interfering in the election, according to the poll. But only 47 percent of people believe that Russia will try to influence the midterm elections, even after months of warnings from senior intelligence and national security officials — plus recent criminal charges — about the Kremlin's ongoing influence operations.
Only one-quarter of the poll's respondents believe that Moscow is very likely to interfere, while another 22 percent believe it is somewhat likely to do so. Forty-eight percent of Americans believe the Russians would try to help Republicans, while 15 percent said they'd help Democrats.
Forty-six percent of Americans said they would be more likely to vote if reports emerged about foreign government interference in the midterms, while only 12 percent said they would be less likely. Pros can read the full story here.
HAPPY THURSDAY and welcome to Morning Cybersecurity! Goodbye National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Hello Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month. Send your thoughts, feedback and especially tips to tstarks@politico.com, and be sure to follow @POLITICOPro and @MorningCybersec. Full team info below.
FIRST ON PRO: FLASH CLEANSE — DHS is working on a plan to scrub Adobe Flash from federal websites, according to a senior agency official. "Specific to Adobe Flash, we are developing a removal strategy which will focus on awareness, assistance, and if needed, directed action," Chris Krebs, the undersecretary in charge of the DHS cyber wing, wrote in a letter responding to a request earlier this year from Sen. Ron Wyden.
Krebs also told Wyden, a senior member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, that DHS has several ways of tackling "end-of-life" software: Outreach by the department's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center to educate and train stakeholders, uncovering vulnerabilities through the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program, and regular advisories on digital risks and mitigation.
TRUST US — The Trump administration is on top of election security and is well positioned to face cybersecurity threats during Tuesday's midterms, a group of senior administration officials told reporters during a short briefing Wednesday. The briefing, which was announced hours after a POLITICO story detailed the administration's lack of a strategy for countering foreign influence operations, produced little new information. Officials spent most of the time assuring reporters that they were working closely together and were committed to identifying, disrupting and if possible prosecuting election interference.
THE IT CROWD — More attention needs to be paid to IT networks in critical infrastructure, cybersecurity firm Vectra said in a report out today. While attacks on industrial control systems take the spotlight, IT networks are more frequently attacked because they usually have schematics and data of those control systems, Chris Morales, head of security analytics at Vectra, told MC. The report analyzed the behavior of attacks targeting manufacturing and utility networks. The company found that hackers often use or mimic network access programs used by the target company to infiltrate their targets, blending in with legitimate traffic.
Instead of relying on log analysis, industries should focus on monitoring networks for unapproved behaviors as logs can be erased, Morales said. Network analysis can also provide clues on a hacker's method of attack. If an ICS was attacked, Morales said, it's likely that a hacker was also inside the IT network, too.
ONE IS BETTER THAN TWO — The federal government's new cloud computing policy should simplify the security certification process by requiring only one authorization, the Professional Services Council told Federal Chief Information Officer Suzette Kent in a recent letter. PSC, a leading government technology trade group, offered 20 suggestions for improving the recently released Cloud Smart strategy, and one of them concerned the way companies get permission to provide cloud services to agencies.
THE SKY IS DARKEST BEFORE DAWN, RIGHT? — Global internet freedom is declining for the eighth consecutive year, according to the annual report released today from Freedom House. The human rights group studied 65 countries and found that while 19 saw a rise in internet freedom, 26 countries are in decline. Many restrictions coincided with elections, the group said. Almost half the countries manipulate social media content to drive discussions, the group says, while at least 17 are using "fake news" to suppress dissent. State surveillance has also increased in 18 countries.
China is the worst of the lot, the report asserts, and is exporting its techniques to at least 36 other countries through training sessions and seminars. The repeal of net neutrality means U.S. internet freedom has declined as well, Freedom House says, and the government needs to do more to protect user data.
RECENTLY ON PRO CYBERSECURITY — Wyden chided the nation's spy chief for giving a classified answer about Trump administration's claims that China has meddled in U.S. elections. … Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company will be able to delete problematic content effectively by the end of 2019.

The Romans successfully invaded Britain in 43 A.D. In the years that followed, Roman culture and traditions spread across Southern England. The Romans imported many different types of food and materials to Britain from all over the Roman Empire, and they also introduced new ideas, laws and inventions.
The calendar we still use today.
This is far from an exhaustive list, but it should give you an idea of the range of different things and ideas brought to Britain by the Romans. When the Romans left Britain, some of the things they introduced continued to be used, and others were forgotten.
What next? Find out more about the Roman invasion of Britain, or discover more facts about the Romans.

Sure could use a bit of good news today.
You know you've had a rough go of things when one of the best phrases you've heard since 2008 is, "You're taking a hit in pay, we're reducing your medical coverage and, um… no more paid holidays for you!" Why? Because the good news is, you didn't lose your job. Now you just have to worry about keeping: a) your house b) the utilities on and c) an adequate supply of food in the fridge and pantry.
I'm not whining, because I know for a fact that I'm preaching to the choir. If I were any good at skipping rocks, I'd probably hit about 14 families that I can name (but won't) who wear the nametag Misery while in our financial company. Liens on homes, wolfish debt collectors calling, credit cards with seriously unbalanced balances and ridiculous interest rates. All in the name of robbing Peter to pay Paul or at least to keep one of them at bay until things get better. But, I almost hate to ask …will things ever get better?
All I can think is, "What will they do with us?" What will they do with a nation-full of people who can no longer crack their monthly nut and have no hope for the future? The long ago image of folks on street corners selling apples to make a handful of coins during the Great Depression seems almost quaint, although not to those who lived through it. But, short of selling a kidney – how are men and women today supposed to earn an honest nickel (or more accurately, $200-500)? We can't house the criminals we already have, what in the world will they use for debtor's prison for the millions of Americans on the brink of financial collapse?
It's not that folks aren't willing to work either. There are no jobs to be had. Where our local paper once had pages and pages of employment opportunities, there are now about a dozen jobs listed – about four of which are unpaid internships at the local paper. Friends of mine have looked under every possible rock for a position, any position (day or night), and there are none to be found in a 50 mile radius (with gas at bucks a gallon). In addition, some of the prospects out there are asking for a minimum educational degree to earn slightly more than minimum wage (which won't help toward those student loans for those that did return to earn said requirement).
Granted, over the years we've become a nation of consumers (hello, media? I know you won't take any responsibility, but your darn influence is mighty) – but in the last couple of years I've noticed a whole lot of trimmin' going on around me. Goodbye yearly vacations/trips to Grandma's, magazine subscriptions, crazy cable packages, coffee runs… and the list goes on. I'm sorry to also report that in addition to chucking the ridiculous you-didn't-really-need-that items I've also watched terribly reasonable individuals go without other things, like proper medical or dental care, all because they thought they would just wait until the economy turned around.
This weekend the calendar heralds the arrival of Spring 2010, which in my community also marks the beginning of a very busy charitable season. Not this year. Extra dollars normally earmarked for silent auctions, 5Ks, raffle tickets and even wickedly delectable Girl Scout cookies are instead paying for groceries and gasoline.
I'm not equipped, nor inclined, to tell Uncle Sam what to do about this mess -- but I do know that I don't want a bandaid on a booboo I don't have nor do I want to see the apple polisher CEOs get all the candy that should have been distributed to the entire class. I have lived my entire life by the motto, "If I didn't earn it, I don't deserve it" … but there's not much use for rolled up sleeves and a can-do attitude, if there's nothing you can do.
Summer is around the corner and there will be thousands of new graduates scrambling for jobs and I sincerely wish them luck. Last year in our valley, City Hall saw close to 650 applications for approximately 30 positions they offer that they normally see about 100 applicants for. Seriously, I bet a buck (scratch that – a nickel) they receive double the amount this June.
Between 1929 and the 1930's folks had to re-think how to survive in tough economic times. I believe we're going to have to do the same. Sure, we've spent a couple decades talking about noble concepts such as recycling, reclaiming and reusing … but in the next couple of years there are some other words that might need to be reinstated. Words like morsel, scrap, mend and repair. Who knows, maybe in the act of saving ourselves we'll take another few positive steps toward saving the planet. And that, certainly is an extra bit of good news today.

I am half way thru my busiest work time of the year. I am thinking I should have retired. So show me some Bs to keep me going.
Trying not to add too many to the wish list this year.
So far failing miserably and we've only got to B!!
I sometimes feel the same way Paula. Yes, the B's are adding great numbers to my list too Dave. Wow everyone!
BME - not many flowers in the drought.
Bressingham Blue..mixed with self sown Northern Sea Oats..this is the wildest part of my garden..
this could be? a Blue Angel..
Good ones Paula. It took me more than 40 seconds!
I'm going to look for Breeder's Love now....thanks Dave!
Brother Stefan.....a bullish beauty! Love this one!
LOTS of great B's everyone..I've been too busy with shrubs and stones..new hostas took a backseat..I'm taking notes this year..all of the Blue Ivory and Ben Vernooij look great..
Great to be back at the alphabet again, thanks Paula! We are over the hump of xmas and spring is no longer a million miles away.
I did not buy a single hosta this year (gasp!) I was busy completing a full time horticultural course this year which has been great fun and I have signed up to do the level 5 course which starts in february too, this is one step below degree level so next year will be busy too.
I failed to take any photos of any of my A hostas this year so I can only start here now with my few B's.
Congrats Denis! So are the courses for personal interest and satisfaction or do you have plans to use the knowledge in a professional way? Kudos on which ever!
Thanks! Its mainly for my own interest and love of gardening but I might like to do some teaching at some stage if the opportunity arose, we will see how it goes.
Here is Bridal Falls, my only B photo, too bad it suffered a bit of frost damage this past spring, this wasn't my only hosta affected by a late frost.
Sherry..I can relate to your comment about pics ("didn't take many") I put off taking pics thinking "garden's not tidy enough" but then I miss out!..the plants peak and I didn't capture it..this year I'm gonna live in the moment..
You got me, paula, anything with cats I read.
Nice Blue Ivories here. It's a favorite of mine even if it's a slow grower.
peren.all, what a huge clump of Blue Mouse Ears!
mbug, that Blue Angel looks so awesome when it's wet!
Sandyslopes I think I fixed it!
Sherry, Bridal Falls is a beauty!
Ahh, Laurie, I drool over your Blue Mouse Ears every time I see it. Mine is a speedy grower too! I keep dividing mine so it might never be as glorious as yours....hmmm....I guess I should leave it alone for awhile.
Sherry it's SO hard to leave them alone!
Paula---if you are half way through your busy season and still able to do the Alphabet---then we are truly blessed to have you!
Peren.all, love your BME---with flowers and without!
That's a beautiful Brother Stefan you have mbug! Actually all the Brother Stefan's are lovely. Looks like it's a must have!
Sherry, that's a good sized, lovely Bridal Falls!
I, too, didn't take that many photos. My camera broke and I haven't decided which camera to get! Too many choices! I missed out on some of that fun. One of my favorite winter "hobbies" is to sort my hosta photos. This year I have less to sort.
sandyslopes I am so glad I got Blaze of Glory and hope it grows up to be as lovely as yours!
Lol Sherry, it is hard to leave them alone, especially one that grows so quickly! So many of us had a bad year. Late frost is often a problem for me too. I like to take progression pics and that turned out to be a good thing since many of mine will be early shots. Hail, drought and deer were not kind.
I have got to get me a Bridal Falls!
newhostalady ditto that! I can't wait to get Beach Boy planted and I love Blueberry Muffin. I had to get a new camera too. I had a permanent blotch on the lens that looked like a water drop. I had to toss so many pics.
- Got it on sale and was pretty beat up. Hopefully it will be a good one as it was a good root mass., I took all the dried leaves and this was what was left.
Shadow..I think Banana Kid is full and lush for a new hosta..I like it..
Blue Jay was new this year and I kept it potted... may keep it in the pot for at least a few seasons so I can look at it on the deck from my laundry room. Think I'm going to love this one!
windymess..how do you overwinter the pots?..if you've mentioned it before I don't remember..I'm always curious about hosta in pots..
windymess Baby Doll is so cute! In spring I would separate it out from it's reversion to Blue Cadet. Another beautiful Blue Hawaii & Blueberry Muffin.
So many gorgeous Brother Stephan. I really need to get my new bed prepped, it will be getting a place of honor.
Windymess, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." But I think your garden having three Blue Cadet hosta together is even better!
peren- I definately plan to separate Baby Doll asap... and regret that I didn't get it done last summer. Hopefully there's something left to separate when it comes up this spring!
nicholsworth- I just put the pots in my unheated (and dark) garage after they're dormant. I was OBE last year and ran out of time for planting in the ground so there are a lot in pots. Maybe once a month during the winter, if there's a little warmer weather, I put a bit of crushed ice on them. It melts and gives a little moisture... but I'm not sure that's really necessary. When they start coming up I'll move them closer to the door and I can raise it partway so they get some light. Then when the weather improves and they're a little further along I'll put them on the screened porch until I'm ready to plant them. It's worked well for the last few years... hopefully they'll all come through ok this year.
windymess..I have 5 hosta in pots in my shed..it's a wooden structure built onto the back of our garage..this is my third winter overwintering hosta in pots in the shed..they've survived so far..I would say we have the same method but my shed could be colder..I don't give mine any water until March? when we have a decent day and I take a peek in the shed..we've left the double doors open during the day once the worst of winter is over..glad to know this is a good way to do it..along with the hosta I worry about my pots..winter here is brutal sometimes..
Wow, only the second letter and already getting behind...focus!
Nicholsworth, just an FYI from me, my hosta pots go in my unheated shed and get ignored all winter. I try to put them away slightly damp. We had so much rain this fall I was afraid they would get put away too wet. I put them on my utility cart in the shed and pulled them out on a few sunny days, first time I did that. Last spring when I put the pots out I had two with some white"fuzz" on the soil, I know they weren't too wet when I put them away. I just cleaned those two up and they did great. I decided after that experience that too wet wasn't gonna work in the shed with little air circulation.
Sherry..I do the same..mine had some good rain just before I put them away but they weren't dripping wet..
Found a picture of my second Blueberry Muffin. It looks better than the one I posted above.
I am pretty sure this is Brim Cup. Very attractive looking in the spring and then the edges get crispy. You can see it starting on one leaf in the 6 to 7 o'clock position.
You can see here how it looks so bright next to all the other greens and blues around it.
Hope you had a great party Kathy!
Now I want BamBamBlue and BackyardMonster... I think I need to buy the house next to me and tear it down!
That's a cute one Laura!
Laurel have you checked out your Brenda's Beauty in the hosta library?
Sunnywood, yes, I've been trying to confirm the name from several sources and have to say I'm not 100% sure.. It was bought from a reputable breeder but even they make mistakes with labelling every now and then.
Mine lives in a very sunny spot which may affect the coloring but the edges are more twisted and curly than BB in most pictures - so, not sure..

Who Discovered Zero? The Truth Might Be Closer To Home
Swastika Jana
who discovered zero?
The truth behind who discovered zero
Development in India
History of math and zero in India
The modern form
The last phase of the journey of Zero
Zero. It is the first whole number in our number system. The single number has changed the way we perceive Maths and Science. Without zero, we would have no financial accounting, calculus; in fact, we wouldn't even have the numbers like the present-day ones. But why do we have to know who discovered zero?
It's not a reach to say that the number is responsible for the explosion of technology we see today. What has zero got to do with technology, you wonder? 0 and 1 make up the binary code. The Binary code denotes text, computer processor instructions, or any other data that uses a two-symbol system. Most modern computers use binary language for instructions and data. It is also used when storing data on CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs and long-distance telephone calls over various mobile networks.
So, what the story behind who discovered zero? Many historians and mathematicians have studied various ancient civilizations to know in-depth about the invention and propagation of Maths and mathematic formulas. One such discovery is the creation and transformation of this unique number.
Back to Our Question, Who Discovered Zero? Let's Find Out.
The earliest known concept of zero was that of a placeholder. Many civilizations around the world discovered zero independently, including the Egyptian and the Sumerian. According to Harvard professor Robert Kaplan, the first zero is documented to be used in Mesopotamia almost 5000 years ago through a pair of angled wedges. The later civilizations like the Babylonians, who followed the Sumerians and the Chinese. But even in these two civilizations, it was used as just a placeholder, aka, a way to tell ten from 100 or to signify an empty column present in case of hundreds and thousands. There is no way to give true credit to any civilization for the discovery of zero.
The Babylonian concept is assumed to have travelled all the way to India, where the idea of zero was developed into a numeral. In ancient India, mathematics was mainly linked with astronomy and was used to express philosophical ideas.
"We are of the view that in ancient India are found numerous so-called cultural antecedents' that make it plausible that the mathematical zero digit was invented there," said Gobets, secretary and leading member of Project Zero.
Project Zero is an organization composed of academics and graduate students who study the development of zero in India. "The Zero Project hypothesizes that mathematical zero ('shunya,' in Sanskrit) may have arisen from the contemporaneous philosophy of emptiness or Shunyata," said Gobets. If philosophical and cultural factors found in India were important to the development of zero as a mathematical concept, it would explain why other civilizations did not develop zero as a mathematical concept, said van der Hoek.
The first modern equivalent of numeral zero comes from a Hindu astronomer and mathematician Brahmagupta in 628. His symbol to depict the numeral was a dot underneath a number. He also wrote standard rules for reaching zero through addition and subtraction and the results of operations that include the digit.
A circle inscribed on a temple wall in Gwalior, India, dates back to the ninth century. According to the University of Oxford, this is the oldest recorded example of zero. The numeral can also be seen on an ancient Indian scroll called the Bhakehali Manuscript. Discovered in 1881, the scroll was assumed to have been a contemporary of the temple in Gwalior, but modern carbon dating reveals its origin in the third or fourth century. Thus, many scientists opine that India discovered zero.
The Modern Form of ZERO
After its development in India, zero would be taken back by the Arabian voyagers to their cities and towns. Eventually, the number would reach Baghdad by 773 AD. In the ninth century, A Persian mathematician, Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi, worked on equations that equalled zero. Thus, Algebra was invented. He also developed quick methods for multiplying and dividing numbers, known as algorithms. Al-Khwarizmi referred to zero as 'sifr,' from which our word cypher is derived. By 879 Ad, the dot had transformed and taken an oval shape that closely resembled the modern zero number.
When the Moorish conquest of Spain happened in the middle of the twelfth century, Al-Khowarizmi's work translations finally made their way to England. Italian mathematician Fibonacci developed the number further by using it to do equations without an abacus. By the 1600s, zero had spread widely throughout Europe.
It was fundamental in Rene Descartes' Cartesian coordinate system and in calculus, developed independently by Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Later, calculus paved the way for physics, engineering, computers, and most modern financial and economic theories.
The small act of the discovery of zero would later change the way civilizations developed. With modern finance, we find it much easier to conceptualize trade and business. The discovery of zero is also responsible for computers and thus all other technologies that are connected with it. But even with its numerous advantages we got since the discovery of zero, the number still fails to become a favourite number for students. Can you guess why?

As Myanmar prepares to vote, the focus has been on the prospect of a historic shift in power. But, whoever wins will face major challenges to raise living standards, and meet popular expectations.
In the bustling heart of Myanmar's commercial hub Yangon, people's thoughts and conversations revolve around Sunday's historic elections.
The military-backed ruling party, USDP, is reminding voters of the reforms it has enacted in recent years to open up the economy, increase press freedom and allow these elections to take place.
And the party says voters should give it another five-year mandate to complete the job it has started.
Most people in Myanmar still live in poverty, with the average income only about one-quarter that of neighboring Thailand. Infrastructure is decrepit, public transport rudimentary. And the average person here only completes four years of schooling.
The NLD acknowledges it is banking on Suu Kyi's personal popularity to carry it to victory, and says voters main concern should not be on the details of policy, but just making sure the NLD can form the next government.
But whoever comes to power will have to quickly build on and expand those reforms if Myanmar, and its children, are ever to reach their potential.

US Airstrike, Coordinated with Afghans, Accidentally Killed Up to 17 Policemen
A small checkpoint guarding a highway outside Lashkar Gah, in Helmand province, April 16, 2019. (J.P. LAWRENCE / STARS AND STRIPES)
Stars and Stripes | By J.P. Lawrence
KABUL, Afghanistan -- U.S. air support killed as many as 17 Afghan policemen and wounded 14 more after a police attempt to tear down a Taliban flag in southern Helmand province prompted a counterattack from the insurgents, Afghan officials said.
A statement from the U.S.-led NATO Resolute Support mission said an Afghan unit on the ground had told coalition forces that the area was clear of friendly forces.
"Unfortunately, they were not and a tragic accident resulted," the statement read. "Afghan Security Forces as well as Taliban fighters were killed in the strikes. We're examining the miscommunication to ensure it is not repeated. We regret this tragic loss of life of our partners and are committed to improvement every day with every mission."
The Afghan Defense Ministry confirmed in a statement Friday that U.S. aircraft conducted attacks during the fight Thursday. Afghan Interior Ministry preliminary estimates said that at least eight had died and 11 were injured.
A local army commander, a Helmand provincial councilman and a hospital official in the provincial capital all said Friday that 17 had died and 14 were hurt.
The incident took place just outside of Lashkar Gah, the capital of the embattled southern province. Much of Helmand remains a Taliban stronghold.
Among those killed was a police battalion commander charged with securing a key highway, said Attaullah Afghan, head of the provincial council.
The police officer, Haji Gran Habib, was a former Taliban fighter who had joined the government side 17 years ago, said Maj. Hedayat Rasoly, an army battalion commander.
Rasoly often met with Habib on how to secure the highway from Lashkar Gah to neighboring Kandahar, an area "almost under the Taliban," he said.
Another local security official, who asked to remain anonymous, said Habib and two of his men decided to take down a Taliban flag from a nearby water tower on Thursday night. The white insurgent banners are often displayed along the roads from Lashkar Gah, sometimes in view of Afghan military bases.
Although the water tower was within walking distance of a police training center, covert local support for the Taliban ensured anyone who tried to take down the flag received immediate sniper fire, local residents told Stars and Stripes via phone.
Habib decided to remove the flag but did not inform his chain of command before proceeding, Rasoly said.
After they arrived, the police tripped a mine, which exploded and alerted the Taliban to their presence, Rasoly said. The guerrillas began firing on them. Police at the nearby training center arrived to assist the first three officers but were unable to drive the Taliban back, he said.
The police unit then requested air support. Residents of Lashkar Gah heard a very loud explosion around 8:30 p.m. Thursday, they said.
Calling the airstrike a "tragedy," Helmand province's governor, Mohammad Yasin, said an investigation has been launched.
Fighting in Helmand has claimed the lives of more American, British and Afghan soldiers than any other province in Afghanistan during the 18-year war. Insurgents controlled slightly more than half of Helmand's territory, according to U.S. military data from October.
Thursday's attack comes about two months after miscommunication led to a U.S. airstrike that killed at least five Afghan soldiers and wounded nine others at a checkpoint in neighboring Uruzgan province, another area of heavy Taliban activity. In that March incident, a firefight had erupted after soldiers at a checkpoint began shooting at a patrol of their own troops, who were accompanied by American advisers on a planned nighttime raid outside the provincial capital Tirin Kot.

Many students wonder how their high school transcripts will be looked upon by college admissions counselors. Those students whose high schools do not offer any Advanced Placement or college-level courses are usually most concerned. Students can rejoice: admissions counselors are going to give you a fair shake.
Check out this new article by Chris Teare, the senior associate director of admissions at Drew University. In it, he assures students that they will be "evaluated in the context of their schools." This means that students should challenge themselves appropriately, but not worry if their school is lacking advanced courses. Instead, students should concern themselves with learning the most that they possibly can. That means taking courses that both challenge and interest them personally. Also, don't pad your schedule. Take appropriately challenging courses without getting caught up in a frenzy of trying to impress your admissions counselors.
What do you think of Teare's advice? We would love to hear your comments below.

Exploring the peace movement in a space reserved for war
I recently visited People Power: Fighting for Peace – a major show exploring the anti-war movement at the Imperial War Museum. Initially I was unsure whether a museum crammed with fighter planes, tanks and guns would be the best place to explore pacifism.
I soon discovered, however, that an exhibition about peace in a space dedicated war to raises a unique set of questions and juxtapositions. Much like a military crusade, the campaign for peace is bitterly fought. While the stakes might not be as high as they are on the battlefield, in many cases the fight for peace involves a huge amount of self-sacrifice, creativity and bravery.
The exhibition, which covers 100 years of conflict, explores how conscientious objectors during the first world war were treated much less cordially than pacifists in other conflicts. Personal items and letters on display reveal the harrowing experiences of conscientious objectors who faced non-combatant service, forced labour, imprisonment and resentment from wider society.
By the mid 1930s it was much more socially acceptable to be a pacifist, and 1934 saw the creation of the Peace Pledge Union – now the oldest secular pacifist organisation in Britain. There were 60,000 conscientious objectors during the second world war, but Nazi Germany and rise of Hitler made it be very difficult to be a pacifist.
Many pacifists, including Winnie-the-Pooh author AA Milne changed their stance. Others made valuable contributions to the war effort by working as for the ambulance service or even carrying out bomb disposal work.
Pacifism was further redefined during the Cold War, when traditional approaches to warfare were turned on their head by the proliferation of nuclear weapons. An archive interview with Michael Harbottle, a former British Army Brigadier and peace campaigner, shows just how devisive nuclear warfare can be.
"I think when one recognises that the next world war, as I always put it, will be fought by politicians with weapons designed by scientists, which are targeted and fired by computers against populations, where's the military in that?" said Harbottle.
"The military are part of the population. They're going to die along with everybody else. There is no military tactical use for nuclear weapons."
The exhibition explored the rise of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), and its powerful use of symbolism, which still characterises the peace movement today.
Much of the exhibition space was dedicated to the creativity that went into designing campaign materials and banners used to protest against a number of high profile conflicts in the Middle East, including the war in Afghanistan (2001-2014) and the Iraq war (2003-2011).
There were items from Brian Haw's protest camp (which he lived in for almost ten years outside the Houses of Parliament); a 30ft banner used to front protest (attended by almost two million people) against the Iraq war; and images of recent protests against the policies of American president Donald Trump.
It turns out that there is no more powerful place to explore the fight for peace than in a museum reserved for the history of war. This approach allows for unique reflection on how conflicts are judged by history, as well as how the tactics they employ and the grounds on which they are fought redefine the values of ordinary civilians.

Choosing the best option for your sewer repair can be difficult, but making the right choice can save you a lot of time and money. When it comes to sewer repair, we at NuFlow St. Louis provide the best in trenchless technology to the residents of Kirkwood, Missouri. With trenchless sewer repair, we use the best methods in modern plumbing to provide you with efficient quality sewer repair.
How do you know that it's time to call a sewer repair pro?
There are many signs and symptoms of sewer malfunction. Sewers fend off multiple hazards including wastewater, invading tree roots, corrosion, and blunt force from foreign objects. Any of these hazards can cause cracks, holes, breaks, leaks, or blocks.
Leaks can allow poisonous wastewater into your property and may cause unpleasant smells. This is a good sign that your sewer is need of repair, and you will definitely notice the smell. If you are experiencing a sewer blockage, you may have slow draining showers and sinks.
Leaks and cracks will cause low pressure in your system. If you experience any of these signs of sewer damage or if you sewers have not been repaired in many years, it is time to call for a sewer repair.
At NuFlow St. Louis, we provide you with a custom sewer repair that is appropriate for the damage to your system. We employ trenchless sewer lining to ensure that all sewer malfunctions from cracks to corrosions are fully sealed and repaired.
Sewer lining works by starting with an epoxy resin. This resin is applied throughout the inside of your sewer system. In order to complete this kind of repair, our technicians will need to dig an access hole at the start of your sewer system. This access hole is very different from traditional trenches dug in old-fashioned sewer repair. It is small and contained, and does not require a lot of time, equipment, or property damage.
Through the access hole, the resin is pulled through your entire sewer system. It coats everything and is able to navigate and twists or bends. This completely seals any cracks or leaks and blocks and corrosion. You will effectively have a dual layer pipe system now. The original pipes remain intact as an outer barrier while the new epoxy pipe adds strength and protection.
Trenchless sewer repair is carefully designed to save time and money. Much of traditional sewer repair relied on wasteful practices that caused property damage and wasted customers' time.
The expenses of trenched sewer repair are almost impossible to estimate or contain. From extensive labor to repairing landscaping and roadways, you may never escape the damage caused by traditional sewer repair. Trenchless sewer repair allows our technicians to focus on the repair itself.
If you are ready to have your sewers repaired, call us today for more information. We offer free estimates, and we can provide you with comprehensive information about sewer repair and maintenance. Don't wait until your sewer problems get worse.

November | 2013 | Another Beautiful Day in Paradise!
We had a fun time last weekend. My sister, Maggie and her next door neighbors, Mac and Candy drove down from Greenville, S.C. for a "history weekend." Maggie's husband has taken a new job in New England, so he was out of the picture for this trip.
My sister is very lucky that she has just great friends living right next door to her. Over the years, we have gotten to know Mac and Cindy fairly well. At one point a few years ago, Mac and I were comparing notes and we discovered we had very similar interests in Civil War and World War II history.
Cindy joined my friends and me on our tour of the Louvre during our first trip to Paris in March 2012.
And the whole gang of us piled into the car for a history trip to Gettysburg in 2010.
We have been talking about doing a "history weekend" here in Savannah for several years. I'm glad we were able to finally pull it off.
We started with a tour of the National Museum of the Eighth Air Force. This is a cool museum with a focus on the WWII air war over Europe.
Mac and me at the 8th Air Force Museum.
On Saturday, we did a walking tour of downtown Savannah. I played tour guide, and although I'm not as professional as the experts, everyone seemed to enjoy it.
Maggie, Mrs. P and Cindy waiting for the guys to get back to them.
Myself, Mrs. Poolman and sister Maggie at Colonial Cemetary.
After a seafood lunch at Tubby's on River Street, we dropped Mrs. P and Maggie off at our house. Mac, Cindy and I headed out towards the beach and Fort Pulaski. The fort is run by the National Park Service. They do a great job. We stayed only a fairly short time, since it was late and the weather was starting to look ugly, but it seemed like our guests really enjoyed it.
We finished the weekend off with a low country boil at our house. I think everyone had a good time. If they did not, they sure faked it well. We need to start planning our next "history weekend." Charleston, anyone?
I saw on Facebook today that one of my good friends finally broke down and got hearing aids. I have used hearing aids myself since roughly 1990. I am on my fourth pair at this point. It is ironic that Len joined the hearing aid club, because he was with me and witnessed one of the more amusing incidents in my hearing aid experience.
Sometime in the early 2000s, I upgraded to the third of my eventual four sets of hearing aids. Unlike my previous two sets, this pair had a warning tone that would go off when the battery was almost dead. My hearing aid specialist had warned me of this. I noted it and then didn't think about it again…for about a week. I was sitting in a Mexican restaurant having lunch with Len when my first set of hearing aid batteries started to die. The warning sounded exactly like the beep a commercial truck sounds when it goes into reverse. Of course, the wearer can hear it, but no one else can.
When the "beep" went off, I immediately started looking around for the garbage truck that was about to run me down. No surprise – no truck in the restaurant. I didn't say anything, but Len was looking at me like I had just had a stroke. We went back to eating, when the "beep" sounded again. I asked Len if he had heard it. Of course, he hadn't and was beginning to think I really had lost my mind. A moment later, one of my hearing aids shut down as the battery died. I finally put two and two together and realized the source of the beeping that apparently only I could hear.
So now it's Len's turn to learn the ins and outs of hearing aids. Just watch out for those garbage trucks, Len!

We did everything possible to save killed Red Cross staff – FG
by Vincent Ikuomola, Abuja

…Expresses shock, sadness over the dastardly killing by Boko Haram
The Federal Government has expressed shock and sadness over the killing of another aid worker by the Boko Haram despite all actions taken to avert the shedding of blood.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, described the killing as dastardly, inhuman and ungodly.
In a statement issued in London yesterday, the Minister of Information and Culture, described the killing as dastardly, inhuman and ungodly, saying nothing can justify the shedding of the
blood of innocent people.
He commiserated with the family of the aid worker, and said the Federal Government did all within its powers to save her life.
"It is very unfortunate that it has come to this. Before and after the deadline issued by her abductors, the Federal Government did everything any responsible government should do to save the aid worker.

"As we have been doing since these young women were abducted, we kept the line of negotiations open all through. In all the negotiations, we acted in the best interest of the women and the country as a whole.
"We are deeply pained by this killing, just like we were by the recent killing of the first aid worker. However, we will keep the negotiations open and continue to work to free the innocent women who remain in the custody of their abductors," the Minister said.
He thanked all the friendly governments that have continued to work with Nigeria for the safe release of the abducted women, and the clerics across religious lines who have been pleading for their release.

Q: Xcode 5 Your binary is not optimized for iPhone 5 error while validating I'm running into the Your binary is not optimized for iPhone 5 error:

I tried every solution suggested in the other questions but nothing works. To summarize:
I have the Default-568h@2x.png image with a size of 640 × 1136 in the root directory of the project, where project_name.xcodeproj is.
Following one advice, I added Default.png (640 × 1136) and Default~iphone.png (640 × 960) to the same directory. Didn't work.
I am using an asset catalog with the proper sizes in place.
Here's the strangest part: this is a version 1.1 of the application. I'm using the same .xcodeproj with the same images. It validated with no issues the first time, but now it doesn't. Any ideas?

A: Using the image asset global to control if the image is correct, and see if there is the warning.
For the future is better using with last Xcode a storyboard screen:

To turn your app in universal mode:
add a storybord or using a StoryBorad in Auto Layout mode.
To use multiple storyboard you can use this in your AppDelegate inside a application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
#pragma mark - Universal storyboard.

    if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone){
        UIStoryboard *storyBoard;

        CGSize result = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;
        CGFloat scale = [UIScreen mainScreen].scale;
        result = CGSizeMake(result.width *scale, result.height *scale);

        if(result.height <= 960){
            storyBoard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"iPhone4" bundle:nil];
            UIViewController *initViewController = [storyBoard instantiateInitialViewController];
            [self.window setRootViewController:initViewController];
        }
    }

You can add all resolution iPhone 4s / 5 (s/c) 6 and 6 Plus
In your <AppName>-Prefix.pch define all resolutions like this:
#define   IsIphone5     ( fabs( ( double )[ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds ].size.height - ( double )568 ) < DBL_EPSILON )
#define   IsIphone4     ( fabs( ( double )[ [ UIScreen mainScreen ] bounds ].size.height - ( double )480 ) < DBL_EPSILON )

Then call the function in your project, for example one scrollview for iPhone 4/5 and iPad:
- (void)spiegaScroll{

    if (IsIphone5){

    CGRect scrollFrame;
    scrollFrame.origin = myScroll.frame.origin;
    scrollFrame.size = CGSizeMake(320, 568);
    spiega.frame = scrollFrame;
    [spiega setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 1100)];
    myScroll.scrollEnabled = YES;
    myScroll.pagingEnabled = NO;
    myScroll.clipsToBounds = NO;

    } else if (IsIphone4) {

        CGRect scrollFrame;
        scrollFrame.origin = myScroll.frame.origin;
        scrollFrame.size = CGSizeMake(320, 480);
        spiega.frame = scrollFrame;
        [spiega setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 1100)];
        myScroll.scrollEnabled = YES;
        myScroll.pagingEnabled = NO;
        myScroll.clipsToBounds = NO;

    } else {

//the rest is iPad in this case

        CGRect scrollFrame;
        scrollFrame.origin = myScroll.frame.origin;
        scrollFrame.size = CGSizeMake(768, 1024);
        spiega.frame = scrollFrame;
        [spiega setContentSize:CGSizeMake(768, 2094)];
        myScroll.scrollEnabled = YES;
        myScroll.pagingEnabled = NO;
        myScroll.clipsToBounds = NO;
    }

}

Hope this help you for now or for your future apps ;)

A: Check wheter the images are added to target files

A: In your plist file set the value for your images in the icon set dictionary.

A: Having same issue. finally i found solution from Iphone 5 Launch Image Problem
please make sure the 568h file is in PNG format? Also make sure that you provided support for iphone 5 for all your screens? Only adding Default-568h@2x.png is not gaurantee for iphone 5 support. You have to check for framing of all your view for iphone 3.5" and 4" device.

A: Well, looks like the problem went away once I upgraded to xCode 6. The app validated with no issues.

My friend Matteen Mokalla is an Iranian-American SIPA (Columbia School of International and Public Affairs) grad who is writing a book drawing on his travels in Iran over the course of several months last year. I trust his opinion about Iranian matters greatly, and so decided to interview him via email today with some questions to deepen my understanding not just of the scale of the protests — we are all aware of that now — but their underlying issues and significance. Matteen has offered to answer any follow-up questions from readers, so please post them to the comments section.
1. How should Obama respond to the protests? How can he and other Western leaders avoid poisoning the opposition with the appearance of Western backing?
Although it is difficult for many in the West to see, the Iranian revolution that deposed the despotic Shah also brought a limited Democracy to Iran. The Republic's democracy created a constitution, political parties, and most importantly solid oppositional leaders. This is why Iran has had the emergence of political elites as vastly different as Mousavi and Ahmadinejad. Had this form of home-brewed Democracy been imposed by the West it would never have had any sort of legitimacy and hence we would never see today people going to the streets demanding their rights. It will be sometime before similar movements emerge organically from other nations such as Syria and Egypt.
This is important to keep in mind as world powers determine how best to deal with the situation with Iran. With the memory of the American and British led 1953 coup against Mohammad Mossadegh still etched in the minds of Iranians everywhere it is vital that the United States and Europe stay out.
At most, world leaders should call on an end to the violence stemming from the state apparatus. When all this is over, and if Mousavi and his followers prove to be victorious, America and Europe's decision not to mettle with the internal aspirations of the Iranian nation will surely be remembered. The same goes if Ahmadinejad and his camp win. It just might be part of the behavioral change that Iranian leaders have been calling for from the West for a long time.
2. The official tallies for the election give Ahmadinejad more than 65 percent of the vote. What's your impression of what his actual support is like?
The official tallies from the Iranian Interior Ministry have claimed an 85 percent turnout, the highest turnout in the 30 years of the Islamic Republic. More importantly, shortly before the closing of the polls the Interior Ministry announced that the sitting president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had won the election over the reformist candidate, Mir Hossein Mousavi with 65 percent of the vote.
As many skeptics have said, this would mean Ahmadinejad would be the most popular President in the history of the Republic. To many Iran observers, this is simply an impossibility. In addition to this and the suspicious behavior of the Interior Ministry many have pointed out the unlikely victory of Ahmadinejad in urban centers including Mousavi's home base of Tabriz where his fellow ethnic-Turks turned out in massive numbers to cast their vote for Mousavi. Prior to the election Mousavi's camp had predicted they would win close to 70 percent of the vote nationwide.
Unwilling to accept these results, the Mousavi campaign and various Iranian political elites declared the election a fraud, with some going so far as to call Interior Ministry's announcement a political coup. The results of this have been the massive protests that have captivated the world over the past week.
No one can clearly articulate what exactly is going on in the streets of Iran today. To do this will take some time and the skill of better historians, but here is what we do know. The massive protests have been met with sporadic state violence. This is not just the angry outburst of bitter Tehrani hipsters with nothing better to do. The Mousavi supporters (the self-declared "Green Wave") have included prominent clerics, including Ayatollah Montazerri and former President Mohammad Khatami. Contrary to early reports the protests include men and women of all ages and all social classes. It is widely believed that the sole counter rally on behalf of Ahmadinejad was put together by bussing in his supporters from the provinces.
3. What do the protestors want? (A recount? A revote? A power-sharing agreement?) How much of a chance do they have of obtaining it?
Many rumors have spread throughout the blogosphere and via twitter that the protestors have seven demands: the resignation of Supreme Leader Khamenei, the resignation of Ahmadinejad, the transfer of the Supreme Leader's responsibilities to Ayatollah Montazerri until a committee can re-evaluate the legitimacy of this constitutional position, the recognition of Mousavi as the rightful President, a new constitutional convention, the unconditional release of all political prisoners, and finally the dissolution of all secret organizations designed to oppress the Iranian people including the "morality police" and the para-military Basij militia.
Although many of these points are among the dreamed changes of the Iranian reformist camp, the Mousavi's campaign to this day has only demanded one thing; another election only this time with certain guarantees of transparency.
4. What are the key issues dividing supporters of Mousavi and Ahmainejad? If Mousavi were to somehow take the presidency, would Iran stop pursuing nuclear power, start being friends with Israel and the United States and give up Islam as the guiding set of principles for the state?
Many observers have wondered what changes and what doesn't if Mousavi and his people were to win Iran and lead the country. First and foremost, you will see an Iranian populace that will no longer tolerates not having a major say in their government. Secondly, there will surely be an improvement in human rights, freedom of speech, and a drastic reduction of irksome social restrictions that regulate public and private life in Iran.
On an international scale, Iran's state interests will largely remain the same. It will still be flanked by the American military in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It will still face the challenge of a bellicose Israel governed by the right-wing Likud party. Moreover, Iran will still be geographically located in a region where rivals and potential rivals such as Israel, India, and Pakistan keep large nuclear arsenals. Iran's nuclear ambitions – whether for peaceful purposes or not – will carry on.
5. What does the world risk if Ahmadinejad retains the presidency? Is it true that, as Gary Sick has argued, the fixing of the election is an unintentional gift from the clerics to the neocons?
The "election" of Ahmadinejad can be seen as a gift to American neocons and the Israeli right. Still, it remains my firm opinion that an Ahmadinejad-led Iran poses no existential threat to any nation, including Israel. And I still encourage individuals to interpret Ahmadinejad's more inflammatory comments, as unacceptable as they are, vis-à-vis the Muslim street and Iran's strategic desire to wield influence with it. That said, one might imagine it being much more difficult for American neocons and the Israeli right wing (I often wonder if their is a difference between the two) to convince the world that military action is needed against Iran if Iran were lead by Moussavi, who has condemned Ahmadinejad's Holocaust denial and has called on better relations with the West.
Thanks Eamon and Matteen for this excellent analysis on the current situation and its possible consequences for Iran going forward. I have a question for Matteen. From your posting, along with many other sources I have seen over the last few days, you argue that the election results should have shown a sweeping or at least decisive victory for Mousavi.
Why then do you think the election was rigged to show such a large margin in favor of Ahmadinejad? Wouldn't it have been a more prudent move to publish fictitious numbers that weren't so ambitious (i.e.- make the election a "close call" but still with an Ahmadinejad victory)? Couldn't they have predicted that few would have believed the results as they are now shown, considering the popularity Mousavi enjoyed in the run up? Or is it that our perceptions of Ahmadinejad's support are different from what they are in Iran, or at least among the ruling elite?
When looking at the numbers it's hard to understand how they could have believed the rigging wouldn't have led to contention, even mass uprising.
Hi Dan. sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet…i promise I will soon.

Question from: Joe Ramorez, Hey guys, My dogs paws are red and itchy and swollen , I've tried using coconut oil and a Aquaphor but both these doesn't work for my dog, I don't know what to do anymore. What do you guy's recommend.
The only thing that worked for my dog when she had red, itchy and swollen paws was musher's secret pet paw protection wax and I would advise you to also try it on your dog's paws.
It will make your dog's paws heal much faster since it also provide protection against germs and bacteria's that may delay the healing process.
It will moisturize your dog paws with coconut oil to keep the paws from getting dry or from cracking.

Q: Making hosts accessible between LAN subnets I have two inerfaces on my router with tomato firmwre: br0 and vlan4. br0 is on 192.168.0.0/16 subnet and vlan4 on 10.0.1.0/24 subnet. As I don't want the different network services on br0 available on vlan4, I have added this firewall rule:
iptables -I INPUT -i vlan4 -j ACCEPT;
iptables -I FORWARD -i vlan4 -o vlan2 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT;
iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o vlan4 -j DROP;

vlan2 is my WAN (internet acess).
The issue that I want to solve is that I want to make one host from 192.168.0.0/16 network (br0), which has ip 192.168.0.50, available on vlan4 (10.0.1.0/24). Only that host should be available on vlan4 (and all other hosts on br0 should be inaccessible). What firewall rules can be used to do it?

Put it before your last rule in your original question.
I assume you have done something like this as well:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

to enable forwarding in general on your system.

| The video landscape is a changin'
December 17, 2015 by IAS Team
The video landscape is a changin'
With the escalating importance of video advertising, we've been carefully examining the overall video landscape and its evolution. In my conversations and early analysis, I've seen that at least 50% of all video inventory on the market today is served in-banner. These ads, also called display video ads, are served independently of a video player, almost exclusively without video content to follow. In other words, a pre-roll without the "roll". No doubt you've seen in-banner video ads on many of your favorite sites; they come in many shapes and sizes, but they run with limited incentive for users to watch to completion.
Because in-banner ads don't depend on content to follow them, the format is essentially limitless in scale, making it easier to fulfill ambitious video campaigns and thereby more attractive to video media sellers. When looking to create more video inventory, publishers can choose to create more video, which is expensive and timely to produce, or simply expand in-banner video inventory.
On it's own, there's nothing wrong with in-banner video. But problems do occur when it's mixed with in-stream inventory, which is considered premium, or if it's sold unbeknownst to the media buyer. Why? There's simply a difference in value between the two – in-stream and in-banner.
In my conversations with video buyers, they almost all believe they're purchasing in-stream exclusively, when if fact, their ads appear in a mix of in-banner and in-stream ad units. Once made aware, without a mechanism to separate in-banner from in-stream units, they look for workarounds. For instance, many simply eliminate the 300×250 ad unit when buying video inventory.
While using 300×250 as a proxy is a smart thing to do to limit low quality video purchases, this method isn't always ineffective. To begin, some new large-format in-banner ad units that appear once a user scrolls down are becoming popular. They are larger than 300×250 to be sure, but are still in-banner, playing independently of a player without video content to follow.
Additionally, eliminating the 300×250 is often a case of throwing out the baby with the bath water. There are plenty of in-stream videos that run in 300×250 units (i.e. 300×250 banners that feature content, and provide an incentive for the user watch an ad).
Obviously, there are countless marketers who will say in-stream content in a 300×250 is less valuable than in-stream content in the middle of the page, but that's not really the point. The point is that there are variances in value, and size is only one piece of it. Every marketer defines value uniquely, based on target audience and goals of his or her campaign.
So what's the solution? The advertising ecosystem demands trust; buyers must have confidence that the inventory they believe they're purchasing is, in fact, what they actually purchase. Transparency is critical to fostering that trust. Video inventory needs clear labeling that's noted in the buying platforms, including player size and whether or not it appears before content. Luckily, the latest draft guidance from the IAB looks like it will help with this problem. They clearly define the difference types of video ads – step one towards holding sellers and platforms accountable to labeling inventory in a standardized, transparent way. With increased transparency comes decreased risk, a better ecosystem, and ultimately increased market participation and revenue for digital video.

Here we are, part 4 of our Must-See Guide! Hopefully you've read our guides to the Grand Canyon National Park, the Grand Canyon West, and the Grand Canyon North. If not, make sure you read up on those gorgeous locations, as well. The desert Southwest of the United States contains some of the most striking and unusual scenery and landforms in the world - and Page, Arizona is no exception. The fourth and final installation of our Must-See Guide will introduce you to this quaint town as well as the incredible and world-famous sights found here.
Let's be technical here: the city of Page, Arizona does not actually encompass the Grand Canyon itself. The canyon ends at Colorado river mile 227 at Lee's Ferry, a historic site that was once the only efficient way to cross the rushing Colorado. Page, Arizona lies just beyond Lee's Ferry. Not far beyond the canyon's end is Page: a cozy town nestled into the rugged Southwestern landscape. While this town began as simply a temporary housing area for workers hired to construct the Glen Canyon Dam, it's since grown into a tight-knit community bordering the Navajo Nation. You can find some of the most impressive feats of nature in the Page Desert, and this section of our Must-See Guide will explain how to experience each one of them.
Standing over 5,000 above sea level, Tower Butte commands attention from its isolated spot in the desert. The butte is just a short distance from the Page Municipal Airport, which offers daily helicopter flights landing on its flat surface. Helicopter landing is the only way to reach the top of Tower Butte, and is an endeavor worth looking into. The 360-degree view from here includes sights of Lake Powell's remarkable shoreline and panoramic desert scenery.
Rainbow Bridge is a familiar sight to many nature and photography enthusiasts as well as the casual internet browser. It seems impossible that this massive stone arch was naturally formed, but it's true. Millions of years of erosion by the Colorado River and desert winds have turned this chunk of rock into a delicate half-ring of striped orange stone. Eventually the continued erosion will cause this gorgeous rock formation to collapse, but fortunately it can be still be visited either via hiking (with a permit) or on an airplane tour over the Glen Canyon area.
Antelope Canyon may likely be one of the most famous natural locations in the world. However, many adventure-seekers may not realize that Antelope Canyon actually encompasses two different locations. Upper Antelope Canyon begins as a thin crevice within a massive stone wall. Upon entering this inconspicuous corridor, the interior of Upper Antelope opens up into several vast natural stone "rooms". Within these spacious chambers visitors can capture amazing group photos surrounded by the rippling sandstone walls or even catch a glimpse of the brilliant light shafts if they're lucky.
The second region of Antelope is the aptly-named Lower Canyon. From the surface, Lower Antelope Canyon appears to be just a thin crack within the hardened desert earth. After descending a small staircase, you'll enter a winding stone passageway between undulating sandstone walls. Incredible formations and shapes, as well as sand waterfalls, await within this hidden canyon. In fact, the most expensive photograph ever sold was taken right here in Lower Antelope Canyon. Your guide can help you recreate this shot and point out many more photo opportunities. A Navajo guide from the nearby reservation will lead you through the incredible depths of this famous canyon and provide a wealth of detail about Antelope's history and importance to the Navajo people.
The fourth installation of our Must-See Guide will introduce you to this quaint town and the world-famous sights found here including Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Tower Butte, and Rainbow Bridge.

8 Wise Rick Owens Quotes About Life (WISDOM)
(MUST READ) Rick Owens
"Living and working being connected is kind of my thing. I don't mean to dismiss outside influences, as I'm sure they're impossible not to absorb, but I find a slightly unhealthy, introspective insulation seems to work best for me."
Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.
Fashion can be cruel. Style is a gift to others.
The coolest thing is when you don't care about being cool anymore. Indifference is the greatest aphrodisiac – that's what really sums up style for me.
Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is also one of the most attractive things you can do.
"Clothes are about aspiration. If I can make weirdness aspirational, I will have done what I set out to do – to expand a somewhat strict set of accepted aesthetic rules."
Stop destroying the landscape with your outfit.
Hair and shoes say it all. Everything in between is forgivable as long as you keep it simple. Trying to talk with your clothes is passive-aggressive.
Every jacket I make has interior pockets big enough to store a book and a sandwich and a passport.
I almost cried the other day listening to 'Vogue' by Madonna.
"I am fed up with stuff that isn't perfect. Affecting casualness is every bit as precious as being precious and I am going to be as refined and elegant as I can."
My aesthetic is a very simple recipe – a black and white, Art Deco, Cecil B DeMille lurid Bible Epic.
"I like things pretty reduced. I don't understand how people live with so much stuff around them, because you can't focus on it, and after a while it ends up becoming absorbed. It's not as if anything's really being appreciated. To me all that stuff is some desperate message to everyone about who you are, like bumper stickers."
"Working out has become this generation's version of couture. It's time consuming, it's rare and it's specialized. You have to go in for fittings. You have to train and train and train. I see people complaining about the age of elegance, when your clothes were custom-made to fit you — well, they were made to fit you because people's bodies weren't as good."
I like things that function and that are logical. The commercial side is one of my favorite parts. I mean, no one would ever assume that.
"I don't think it's possible to really shock anybody anymore, although I'm surprised sometimes. I don't want to waste people's time. It's a busy calendar, so if you're going to do a show, do a show."
"If you create the composition in an attractive balanced way, the same way you prepare a meal, like if you know how much oregano is going to balance everything else out, it works and people will respond to it, people feel it and it's kind of the same thing with clothes and references. If you kind of create the right mixture of references it's going to be graceful, logical and poetic, and it will register."
"As for myself, I have never changed my clothes. I have always worn a uniform because what I did was change my own body instead; that is much more hardcore than changing an outfit."
"I wanted things to look like they were degenerating and evaporating on the runway. I was also thinking of dinosaurs, and it made me think of exaggerated, weird shapes."
"There is enough furniture in the world that I do not design furniture to be comfortable. I reject this vision of the world totally oriented to personal comfort… through furniture design, I suggest something more disciplined, more formal."
"Sports shoes were never my thing. The only reason I started making them was because they frustrated me. They were a little too prosaic. I wanted to exoticize them."
"All through my 20s, all I wore was the same pair of biker boots. That's how I've always been with clothes. I've never been somebody who likes a full closet. I like a closet with five things, and that's it for five years. But I've always thought shoes and hair are the most important things. They define who you are. And teeth. Teeth have to be good."
"It's all I wear. I can't even consider wearing leather shoes because it doesn't seem contemporary. It became a safe way of expressing virility for men. They are the one item in your outfit that any man can go out there with. There can be colors, there can be perforations, there can be confections. It's kind of like a men's cravat from the 19th century — the way you tied it, it could be sumptuous."
"Like I've done with everything in my life, you fake it until it comes true. I actually used to mold rubber soles myself, because at the time I couldn't afford the minimums. The construction was completely wrong."
2 FunnyRick Owens Quotes that will Make You Think
"I can't really think of anything more subversive in men's dress at the moment than heels; people get weird in the street when you wear heels… In short they make you feel like Gene Simmons as you walk to the grocery store."
I love that I have all these straight guys buying my clothes who would have kicked my ass in high school.
"I think that for everybody, the main thing in life is to be listened to. To be listened to by someone who loves you, to be listened to by a lover, to be listened to by children who you want to teach. You want to express yourself and for people to respond."
"Most of the things that I get are things I have wanted for a long, long time. I am not an impulsive buyer and I don't like clutter. I don't like filling my world with impulsive things. It has to be a serious commitment."
I plan to lose touch with reality. And the more I lose touch with reality, the better I'll get… I think.
"I have been very self-destructive and self-critical but I learnt how to accept a lot of my faults and flaws and not make such a big deal about it. Just to get over myself."
If I had to explain myself every day it would kill me; my work is a conversation I'm having with the world.
"There was a minute where I considered selling out, because I was offered a lot of money that I wasn't sure I would ever be offered again. But looking back, it would have killed me. I can't really work with other people. I would hate to have to explain myself to anybody. I don't have a design team because that's what I get to do — that's my fun."
I live in my own little concrete bubble.
"I've learned to forgive myself for being a cunt, and that's a part in all of us, we all struggle to keep that balance I think, and try and not beat ourselves up too much, and try and do better and improve and it's a little 'titter totter' every single day, today I'm going to be better, oh sh*t, I f**ked up, I'm not… but ok, it'll work out better tomorrow, and that's the beautiful monster in all of us."

Aptera Rolls Out Newest Model, Says It's On the Road to Financial Stability
Bruce V. Bigelow
@bvbigelow
After lying low for much of the past year, startup automaker Aptera Motors of Vista, CA, said it has secured at least $10 million in VC funding and unveiled the latest version of its three-wheel vehicle—powered entirely by a battery from A123 Systems of Watertown, MA.
At a media briefing staged yesterday in the hangar of a private jet aircraft company, Aptera officials unveiled what they described as a "fully engineered" Aptera 2e, an all-electric, two-passenger car capable of using the energy equivalent of 1 gallon of gas to drive more than 200 miles. Immediately after the event, Aptera shipped the vehicle off to Detroit, where it has qualified to compete this summer against 37 other cars in the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize. The multi-stage competition is offering a $10 million purse ($5 million in two categories) for production-ready, clean, affordable, and fast automobiles that can travel the equivalent of 100 miles per gallon.
"We want to show it to you here today before it goes off to Michigan for the competition," Aptera CEO Paul Wilbur told the crowd, which included journalists, TV camera crews, and representatives from 23 companies that are supplying key components to Aptera.
Tom Reichenbach, Aptera's chief engineer, said the aerodynamically sleek car revealed at yesterday's briefing was "built with components that we intend to go to production with," and nearly "90 percent of the material cost of the 2e will be sourced from U.S.-based suppliers."
Aptera 2e and Tom Reichenbach
Aptera screened about 20 prospective batteries before selecting a 20 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion "nano phosphate" battery developed by A123 Systems, Reichenbach said. Weight became a crucial factor in engineering the car, and Reichenbach said the battery package accounts for just 476 pounds—or less than a fourth of the car's overall weight of 1,800 pounds.
