Canadian numismatics suffers great loss with death of Charles "Chuck" Moore
Charles "Chuck" Moore passed away the morning of June 11 in Walnut Creek, Calif.
Trajan Publishing has learned esteemed numismatist Charles "Chuck" Moore, president of Moore Numismatic Auctions, died this morning in Walnut Creek, Calif.
A funeral is being planned for sometime next week in California, but a memorial will be held in Canada later this fall.
"It is a sad day when a Canadian icon passes," said Steven Bromberg, president and CEO of Canadian Coin and Currency and longtime friend of Moore. "Chuck Moore has been a dominant figure in numismatics since before I started collecting in the early 1970s, and he has been a mentor and role model to me over the past 30 years."
Moore was a Fellow and 38-year life member of the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association (RCNA). For 27 years, he sat on its board of directors. He would eventually serve one term as vice-president and two consecutive terms as president, from 2003 to 2007.
Moore was also a 34-year life member, a 30-year board member and had served as both vice-president and president (2003-2005) of the Canadian Paper Money Society. What's more, he was a founding charter member of the Canadian Association of Numismatic Dealers (CAND), serving terms as both vice-president and president.
Bromberg added: "Chuck combined exceptional professional knowledge with an affable personality and made many friends along the way. I have been honoured to have Chuck as a friend as well as a colleague and business partner in our Canadian Legacy Sales. Chuck will leave an everlasting legacy on both the numismatic community and on the many people who have come to know him."
In 2010, Moore was awarded the J. D. Ferguson Award – Canadian numismatics' highest honour – for his numerous contributions to the hobby.
At the time of his death, he was a chairman of the Canadian Association for Numismatic Education (CAFNE), which provides grants for numismatic education.
Moore has been a dominant figure in numismatics for decades, serving as a mentor, role model and friend to many.
Former Canadian Coin News editor and current RCNA President Bret Evans knew Moore as both a friend and a colleague in the hobby and will greatly miss his presence.
"It's a shame for Canadian numismatics," said Evans, who is also a director with CAFNE. "Chuck has been a prominent part of the hobby for decades and was also a supporter of the RCNA. He gave generously of his time and his resources for the betterment of the hobby. It leaves a gaping hole in the hobby."
However, Evans said, Moore's influence on and accomplishments in numismatics would be felt for years to come.
"I had the pleasure of working with Chuck for many years at Canadian Coin News, and he was a professional in all of his dealings," he said, adding Moore also provided excellent company in social settings.
Moore Numismatic Auctions – or Moore's – opened for business in Toronto in July 1969. Moore's first public auction was held in April 1977 at the Ontario Numismatic Association's (ONA) annual convention.
Since 1977, Moore's has held about 130 auctions, with two major auctions in Canada nearly every year. Altogether, more than $100 million-worth of coins, tokens and banknotes have crossed the auction block, reaching more than 25,000 collectors around the world.
Moore's highlight auctions include three sales for the Bank of Canada, which saw him auction off one of the most valuable collections ever to be offered in Canada.
Over the decades, Moore's has set numerous world price records for Canadian coins and banknotes, including in 2010, when a 1910 Bank of Vancouver $5 note, with a serial number showing 000001, realized $150,000.
Altogether, the esteemed auction house has conducted many sales for the RCNA, ONA, CAND, Toronto International Coin Fair, and Torex, Canada's oldest commercial coin show, as well as many other numismatic clubs and associations.
"I worked with Chuck Moore for many years, dating back to the 1980s, when we were on the RCNA executive together," said Paul Johnson, secretary of both the RCNA and CAFNE. "He had a very high reputation, and it'll be a big loss for the hobby to know that he's gone."
Johnson said Moore was one of the hobby's foremost auctioneers.
"Some of the collections he brought together for auction were unparalleled over the last number of years. He's been doing auctions since the 1970s."
Over the past few years, as Moore and Johnson became more involved with CAFNE, the two began working together a lot, something Johnson looks back on fondly.
"We worked really well together and I always enjoyed my dealings with him both professionally and personally," Johnson said.
"He was genuinely a great person to spend time with and had a lot of interests outside of numismatics," said Evans, adding Moore was working on his PhD in genetics before his death. "Some of my fondest memories were of talking about things other than numismatics. He was very widely read and we'd talk about everything from philosophy and human nature right through to economics and politics."
Check back for more details on Moore's life and death, and watch for updates and full coverage in the next issue of Canadian Coin News.

When storing food for a global food crisis, rice is perfect as it adheres to the essential principals of food storage. White, jasmine, wild, arborio, and basmati rice all have an almost indefinite shelf life. Rice is considered by many to be the ultimate survivalist food to stockpile in order to be prepared for a food crisis. Brown rice, while a healthier alternative to white, has a shorter lifespan. Due to the higher oil content of the food, it will go bad faster.
White vinegar is a popular choice for salad dressings and marinades. With a long shelf life that makes it a perfect for food preparedness, distilled white vinegar will maintain its quality and taste for about as the entirety of its lifespan. Be prepared with distilled white vinegar.
Sea salt is the 'real' form of traditional table salt, sodium chloride. It is the ideal choice over its unhealthy counterpart, but in the event of a food crisis sodium chloride can also do the job. It is better to be prepared with sodium chloride than to not have anything at all. Salt is a powerful flavor enhancer that will never go bad. It can also be used to cure meats, which is a great way to maintain the integrity of stored meats.
Honey has such a long shelf life that it has even been recovered from Egyptian tombs. While it can change color and crystallize over time, its edibility does not change. You can even restore crystallized honey by adding warm water and stirring. In its raw form, honey is also full of enzymes and essential nutrients.
Cornstarch is a food substance that has a variety of uses. Helpful in thickening gravies, sauces, or soups, cornstarch is a food crisis necessity that will help you be prepared. It is important to note that while all of these ingredients will have an increased lifespan when kept in a cool, dry space, cornstarch will particularly be affected.
Pure vanilla extract, different from its imitation counterpart vanilla extract, will last forever. The extra cost over its imitation is only minor compared to the elongated shelf life of pure vanilla extract.
Honing your survival skills will help you to be prepared if a food crisis is to ever strike the nation, or even the globe. Stocking up on these key foods will ensure that you and your family will not go hungry if such an event is to unfold. Even more impressive is the fact that these ingredients can be easily purchased at local grocery stores, making them convenient yet potent.
Storing food for a global food crisis may not be the first thing on your mind right now, but it is certainly great to know in the case of any food crisis. Although survival skills are not nearly as necessary in today's society due to great advancements, having them could one day positively effect your life greatly.

Can We Get Space Madness?
If you've watched any Ren and Stimpy cartoons, you know that one of the greatest hazards of spaceflight is "space madness". Only exposure to the isolation and all pervasive radiation of deep space could drive an animated chihuahua into such a state of lunacy.
What will happen if they press the history eraser button? Maybe something good? Maybe something bad? I guess, we'll never know.
Of course, Ren and Stimpy weren't the first fictionalized account of people losing their marbles when they fly into the inky darkness of space. There were the Reavers from Firefly, that crazy Russian cosmonaut in Armageddon, almost everyone in the movie Sunshine, and it was the problem in every second episode of Star Trek.

According to movies and television, if you've got space madness, you and your crewmates are in for a rough ride. If you're lucky, you merely hallucinate those familiar space sirens, begging you to take off your space helmet and join them for eternity on that asteroid over there.
But you're just as likely to go homicidal, turning on your crewmates, killing them one by one as a dark sacrifice to the black hole that powers your ship's stardrive. And whatever you do, don't stare too long at that pulsar, with its hypnotic, rhythmic pulse. The isolation, the alien psycho-waves, dark whisperings from eldritch gods speak to you though the paper-thin membrane of sanity. If we go to space, does only madness await us?
If you've spent any time around human beings, you know that we've got our share of mental disease right here on Earth. You don't have to travel to space to suffer depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders.
Once we're in orbit, or prancing about on the surface, of Mars, we're going to experience our share of human physical and mental frailties. We're going to take our basic humanity to space, including our brains.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 18% of the US population, or 40 million Americans suffer from some variety of anxiety-related disorder. 6.7% of adults had a major, crippling depressive episode over the course of a year.
Unless we improve treatment outcomes for mental disorders here on Earth, we can expect to see similar outcomes in space. Especially once we make exploration a little safer, and we're not concerned with our immediate exposure to the vacuum of space. But will going to space make things worse?

NASA has carried out two studies on astronaut psychological health studies. One for the cosmonauts and astronauts on the Mir space station, and a second study for the folks on the International Space Station. They tested both the folks in space as well as their ground support staff once a week, to see how they were doing.
Although they reported some tension, there was no loss in mood or group cohesion during the mission. The crews had better cohesion when they had an effective leader on board.
Isolation working in close quarters has been heavily studied here on Earth, with submarine crews and isolated groups at research bases in Antarctica.

Earlier this year, a crew of simulated Mars astronauts emerged, unharmed from a year-long isolation experiment in Hawaii. The six international crewmembers were part of the Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation experiment, to see what would happen to potential Mars explorers, stuff on the surface of the red planet for a year.
They couldn't leave their 110 square-meter (1,200 square-foot) habitat without a spacesuit on. What did they report? Mostly boredom. Some interpersonal issues. Now that they're out, some are good friends, and others probably won't stay in contact, or pay too much attention to them in their Facebook feed.
The bottom line is that it doesn't seem like there's too much of a risk from the isolation and close quarters. Well, nothing that we're not used to dealing with as human beings.
But there is another problem that has revealed itself, and might be much more severe: space dementia. And we're not talking about the song from Muse.
According to researchers from the University of California, Irvine, long term exposure to the radiation of deep space will cause significant damage to our fragile human brains. Or at least, that's what happened to a group of rats bathed in radiation at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory at New York's Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Over time, the damage to their brains would cause astronauts to experience a type of dementia that causes anxiety. Brain cancer patients who receive radiation treatment are prone to this as well.

During the months and years of a Mars mission, astronauts would take a large dose of radiation, even with shielding, and the effects would be harmful to their bodies and to their brains. In fact, even when the astronauts return to Earth, their condition might worsen, with more anxiety, depression, memory problems, and a loss of decision making ability. This is a serious problem that needs to be solved if humans are going to live for a long time outside the Earth's protective magnetosphere.
It turns out, science fiction space madness isn't a real thing, it's a plot device like warp drives, teleporters, and light sabers.
Isolation and close proximity isn't much of a problem, we've dealt with it before, and we can still work with people, even though we hate them and the way they slurp their coffee, and lean back on their chair, even though that thing is totally going to break and they're going to hurt themselves. And they won't stop doing it, no matter how many times we ask them to stop.
Once again, radiation in space is a big problem. It's out there, it's everywhere, and we don't have a great way to protect against it. Especially when it wrecks our brains.

Physicists Closing in on Understanding the Primordial Universe

Slamming barely nothing together is bringing scientists ever-closer to understanding the weird states of matter present just milliseconds after the creation of the Universe in the Big Bang. This is according to physicists from CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory, presenting their latest findings at the Quark Matter 2012 conference in Washington, DC.
By smashing ions of lead together within CERN's lesser-known ALICE heavy-ion experiment, physicists said Monday that they created the hottest man-made temperatures ever. In an instant, CERN scientists recreated a quark-gluon plasma — at temperatures 38 percent hotter than a previous record 4-trillion degree plasma. This plasma is a subatomic soup and the very unique state of matter thought to have existed in the earliest moments after the Big Bang. Earlier experiments have shown these particular varieties of plasmas behave like perfect, frictionless liquids. This finding means that physicists are studying the densest and hottest matter ever created in a laboratory; 100,000 times hotter than the interior of our Sun and denser than a neutron star.
CERN's scientists are just coming off of their July announcement of the discovery of the elusive Higgs boson.
"The field of heavy-ion physics is crucial for probing the properties of matter in the primordial universe, one of the key questions of fundamental physics that the LHC and its experiments are designed to address. It illustrates how in addition to the investigation of the recently discovered Higgs-like boson, physicists at the LHC are studying many other important phenomena in both proton–proton and lead–lead collisions," said CERN Director-General Rolf Heuer.
According to a press release, the findings help scientists understand the "evolution of high-density, strongly interacting matter in both space and time."
Meanwhile, scientists at Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), say they have observed the first glimpse of a possible boundary separating ordinary matter, composed of protons and neutrons, from the hot primordial plasma of quarks and gluons in the early Universe. Just as water exists in different phases, solid, liquid or vapor, depending on temperature and pressure, RHIC physicists are unraveling the boundary where ordinary matter starts to form from the quark gluon plasma by smashing gold ions together. Scientists are still not sure where to draw the boundary lines, but RHIC is providing the first clues.
The nuclei of today's ordinary atoms and the primordial quark-gluon plasma, or QGP, represent two different phases of matter and interact at the most basic of Nature's forces. These interactions are described in a theory known as quantum chromodynamics, or QCD. Findings from RHIC's STAR and PHENIX show that the perfect liquid properties of the quark gluon plasma dominate at energies above 39 billion electron volts (GeV). As the energy dissipates, interactions between quarks and the protons and neutrons of ordinary matter begin to appear. Measuring these energies give scientists signposts pointing to the approach of a boundary between ordinary matter and the QGP.
"The critical endpoint, if it exists, occurs at a unique value of temperature and density beyond which QGP and ordinary matter can co-exist," said Steven Vigdor, Brookhaven's Associate Laboratory Director for Nuclear and Particle Physics, who leads the RHIC research program. "It is analogous to a critical point beyond which liquid water and water vapor can co-exist in thermal equilibrium, he said.
While Brookhaven's particle accelerator cannot match CERN's record-setting temperature conditions, scientists at the U.S Energy Department lab say the machine maps the "sweet spot" in this phase transition.

Joie de Kitty: What color are you supposed to be, again?
What color are you supposed to be, again?
I went to the grocery store yesterday to buy ingredients for onion soup. But when I got over to the onion display, all the onions were... white?
Onions aren't white, onions are yellow.
Oh, yeah. They sell white onions in the States, don't they? I used to buy them until my grandma broke me of the habit.
Sorry, onions. Didn't mean to judge you by the color of your skin.

1. Is it possible that God could have counted the whole set of natural numbers? The answer according to me is no. Why? Because the set of natural numbers is infinite. You will never stop counting. So even though God is almighty, He cannot do things like these. It simply doesn't make sense. It's like saying God can create a rock that He cannot lift. It's a logical incoherent statement.
a. Since numbers are mere concepts, they exist in our minds as we think about them.
b. Numbers exist conceptually as real world objects represent them. I.e. the number of planets in the solar system.
c. They exist conceptually as symbols on a piece of paper (or computer screen).
Because only a finite amount of thoughts, objects and written symbols exist, it follows that only a finite amount of real numbers exist in the real world.
3. Abstract objects aren't limited to numbers. It includes things like music, literature and other forms of art. Now there are an infinite amount of songs that can be composed. Do they all exist? Again the same line of reasoning goes. A tune lives in the mind of the one that composed it and the ones who hear it. It is a concept, an idea which didn't exist before someone thought about it. So there are only a finite number of art forms in the real world and always will be even though the number increases all the time.
4. Now I want to say something about the future. God as we know can foresee the future. This is what makes prophecy possible. We know that the world has a beginning, and it will have an end in this age as the Bible predicts, but the age to come will have no end. So the number of future events counts up to infinity. Now is it possible for God to know everything in the future? Again as explained above this is impossible. One cannot know an infinite amount of things. It is simply an illogical thing to ask from someone like God, even though He is almighty, and I am not trying to limit Him in any way. So God knows the future. How much and how far? Well as much as He chooses or as far He deems necessary.
These are my comments. I therefore believe God is almighty, but He cannot do illogical things, or know things that do not exist. Thanks for reading and please let me know if you agree with my views. Also please tell me of articles I can read which might give me more insight into these things.
Finally I want to thank you for the work you're doing. I think you're making a big difference in many people's lives.

Pop-Up Bar Hidden In A National Forest Offering Free Beer
By Bill Galluccio Jul 17, 2019
Busch Beer has hidden a pop-up bar deep in the woods of a national forest and is calling on adventurers to seek it out. Anybody who finds the "Pop-Up Schop" on Saturday (July 20) will get to enjoy free beer from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time. They will also be holding a raffle where one lucky person will win free beer for the rest of their life.
"We wanted to take the concept of the traditional pop-up shop and flip it on its head in a very Busch way," Daniel Blake, senior director of U.S. value brands at Anheuser-Busch, said in a statement. "Busch has the best fans out there who are always up for a little challenge, so we know they'll be out in the forest finding our hidden 'Schop.' The chance to win beer for life also doesn't hurt."
In addition to giving away free beer, Busch promised to plant one hundred trees for every person who shows up. The beer company is helping the National Forest Foundation with their goal of planting 50 million trees by 2023.
To help people find the bar, which is hidden somewhere in the 295,000 square miles of national Forests, Busch is giving hints to the location on Twitter.

The existing bridge was constructed in 1989, consisted of three spans totaling 140 ft and carried two lanes of traffic in each direction. The bridge was scheduled to be replaced along with several other bridges on the I-75 corridor through Findlay to add a travel lane in each direction.
Factors considered when evaluating bridge replacement options included service life, resilience, maintenance costs, staged construction, structural capacity, and hydraulic capacity, among others. The area of the project is relatively flat and prone to flooding. I-75 is constructed on high ground and the abandoned railroad bed below the bridge provided a conduit for relief when flooding occurs. It was important to maintain this condition with the replacement bridge. It was important to minimize traffic disruptions during construction, so a phased approach was needed for the new bridge. Deicing salts are frequently used on the roadway and considerations needed to be made during design to ensure minimum service life requirements were met. I-75 is a major freight corridor extending from the Canadian border at the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Miami, Florida and there was a desire for the new bridge to accommodate current and future truck loading requirements. Bridge inspection and maintenance costs are a financial challenge for all state DOTs and it was important that the new bridge provide a simple and economic solution.
The 41 ft span x 21'1″ span deep corrugated galvanized steel buried bridge provided by Big R Bridge met all of the design, performance, hydraulic, maintenance, and overall cost requirements. The buried bridge was sized to meet the site hydraulic requirements and fit below the existing bridge to provide an accelerated bridge construction (ABC) solution and allow for staged construction. A portion of the structure was constructed adjacent to the existing bridge and then pulled into place below the bridge. The remaining portions of the buried bridge were constructed in place. After construction of head walls at both ends of the structure, the structure was backfilled in stages as I-75 traffic lanes were moved to travel over the buried bridge to accommodate removal of the exist bridge. The Ohio DOT opted to apply an asphalt coating to the exterior of the structure to provide secondary protection from deicing salts. The structure was easily able to accommodate the HL93 design loading by taking advantage of the benefits of soil-structure interaction, with reserve capacity for increased future loading. Elimination of the the bridge deck, approach slabs, and all other features associated with traditional bridge spans and decks significantly reduced inspection and maintenance costs. Future maintenance will consist of typical maintenance associated with the roadway and removal of unwanted vegetation below the structure, resulting in significant long term savings. This was the largest span deep corrugated buried bridge replacement below an interstate highway in the United States and the first such structure designed and specified by the Ohio DOT.

Dear Readers: Larry J. Sabato, founder and director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, will be the keynote speaker for the 54th annual Independence Day Celebration and Naturalization ceremony at Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson and a must-visit American treasure. This ceremony is the oldest continuous naturalization ceremony that takes place outside of a courtroom. As 76 people from 40 countries prepare to take the oath of citizenship, Prof. Sabato's remarks will focus on the value and importance of citizen participation for the health of American democracy. The text of his speech is below. If you would like to watch the ceremony live this morning, it will be livestreamed here beginning at 9 a.m. EDT. We wish you and your family a safe and happy Independence Day.
Thank you for that kind introduction. I'm grateful to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, Chairman Donald King, and President Leslie Greene Bowman for inviting me to speak to you today.
If I may be permitted a point of personal privilege: Over the last decade my UVA Center for Politics has hosted delegations of students from more than 40 nations around the world including Afghanistan, Argentina, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Costa Rica, and coming soon, the Middle East and North Africa. They come to Charlottesville to learn about democracy, American-style. Joining us today are 30 students from Belarus — please stand and be welcomed at this special place and time.
And now to the main event. I know it's hot, and I think you'll be pleased that years ago I learned the most important law of speechmaking — KISS: Keep it short, stupid. I will.
What an honor it is to address all of you, but especially our soon-to-be newest citizens. Any place is a good place to become an American, but no place is better than Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, the primary author of the Declaration of Independence. That startling decree was the Big Bang that brought our nation into existence and the event that we celebrate today — along with marking Jefferson's death in this house on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration, precisely 190 years ago.
And if the University, the Declaration of Independence, the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, the Louisiana Purchase, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition aren't enough to induce your thankfulness, then maybe you've forgotten that Mr. Jefferson helped to introduce ice cream and macaroni & cheese to the United States. That makes me hungry — I hope we have some for lunch.
This moment isn't a celebration of Jefferson as much as it is a tribute to you and your potential. The extraordinary thing about America is that each citizen is given the tools and the opportunity to make a difference and to leave a legacy that will continue once our brief moment on earth has passed.
Here's a revolutionary thought for your Fourth: Politics in America is a good and necessary thing.
It's the oil that greases the creaky machinery of government by encouraging responsiveness to public opinion.
It's the glue that binds together a nation of continental expanse and stunning diversity — unquestionably, the United States is the most diverse Republic on the face of the planet, as you here today prove, with concentrations on our shores of people from every other country around the globe.
Without liberal application of politics, the centrifugal forces and the discord generated by diversity might rip apart the fabric of our society.
Without skillful use of the political arts, how could we hope to make our system work when power is divided in so many ways, vertically with layers of national, state, and local governments, and horizontally with the separated powers of Congress, President, and Supreme Court?
Politics is simply the means we use to make our nation work, and to make our states and communities better places to live.
Your power as an individual citizen is awesome. You can shake things up by speaking up, starting a petition, organizing your neighbors, backing a candidate for office, or running yourself!
And voting, of course — always, always voting. The choices may not be ideal from time to time, as the 2016 election demonstrates, but part of a citizen's duty is to pick the best from a mixed lot. Good luck this November.
And get ready to vote frequently — and I don't mean for contestants on American Idol or voting people off the island. You're going to be called on to vote for serious reasons several times each and every year. Primaries and general elections and special elections galore. Just be glad you're in Virginia. We have a relatively short ballot. In California they elect so many offices and decide so many issues that voting is a part-time job!
By the way, if you want to quickly maximize your influence, just organize all your family and friends to vote. My late father was a first-generation Italian-American and a distinguished veteran of World War II. After the war he became something of an evangelist for democracy. Not only did he never miss an election, he carted many members of our extended family to the polls — happily providing those who weren't fully informed with a list of preferred candidates. The lesson is, you too can become a political boss with your own machine!
Your local registrars for the City of Charlottesville and the County of Albemarle are right here with us. Talk about customer service. Before you leave these beautiful environs, be certain to register to vote.
Truth is, citizenship is hard work. You have to do your homework because mistakes can prove costly. You see our good friends across the pond, who made a decision on the European Union that millions are trying to take back, too late to save the value of the pound or maybe even the integrity of the United Kingdom. Judging by the large number of Brits googling "what is the European Union?" after they voted, it looks likely some electors didn't know what they were doing, with enormous consequences.
The internet does make any voter's task easier, though it's critical to seek out the facts before casting a ballot. You also have to separate good from bad information. Here's a tip. Ignore the shrill voices. You can safely skip any website or delete any tweet that is written in ALL CAPS.
Let me conclude where I began, when I cited Thomas Jefferson's amazing story. You have a remarkable story, too, and you're beginning what we hope will be the best chapters of all, the ones penned as a U.S. citizen.
Help us to live up to American ideals. Make us better. With your international backgrounds, encourage your fellow citizens to build bridges, not walls. Join us in civic enterprises that will benefit everyone. Your contributions may not make you famous, but fame is overrated. The Kardashians are famous, and no one knows why!
We're counting on you. We know you'll come through, just as generations of new citizens have for the entire existence of America — America the Beautiful, now and forever, your country.
Congratulations to our new citizens and Happy Fourth, everyone!

New for 2014: Yakima Valley Pippins
By Kevin Reichard on December 19, 2013 in College Baseball, News
With a nod to the area's baseball history combined with plenty of community input, we have the name of the newest team in the summer-collegiate West Coast League: the Yakima Valley Pippins.
The Pippins brand features vibrant colors that reflect those found in the sunshine, majestic mountains, and rolling farmlands of the Yakima Valley. The brand, which features Legends Green, Pippins Green and Columbia Sky Blue, was developed by Studio Simon's Dan Simon, working hand-in-hand with team director of operations Noel Zanchelli and Pacific Baseball Ventures COO Zachary Fraser to create a brand that is unique to the Yakima community.
"Dan is one of the greats in the game at creating brand identities that are truly that – identities – not just logos," Fraser said. "We look forward to integrating this brand throughout the entire fan and player experience at Yakima County Stadium."
The team name is a reference to the past, the present and the future of the game in the Valley. The past lends reference to the Pippins Baseball Club that represented the community from 1937-1941 as a member of the Western International League. The present is captured with the apple playing a prominent role in the presentation of the brand and across the primary, secondary and alternate marks, just as the apple industry continues to play a vital role in the lives of many in the region. The future is found in colors that draw attention to the bright future that the Yakima Valley is poised to experience, both on and off the baseball diamond. Additional brand elements, including home, road, and alternate uniforms and the team mascot, will be released in spring of 2014.
Also introduced today: Selah native Marcus McKimmy, the head coach of the Yakima Valley Community College baseball team, would lead the team as the inaugural manager. McKimmy, a former player in the WCL with fellow WCL East division member Wenatchee, played collegiately at Columbia Basin College (2005-06), San Jose State (2007) and Gonzaga (2008) after prepping at Selah High School. While at Selah, he led the Vikings to two Washington state Final Four appearances, finishing third in the state in both 2001 and 2004. His career in the WCL garnered recognition in 2006, as he was an All-WCL Honorable Mention performer for the Applesox. He took over the head job at YVC this past season, and led the Yaks to a third-place finish in the NWAACC with a 33-19 record.
"Marcus' experience in the WCL was an important factor in hiring him," said Zanchelli. "He has had success at every level of the game, and I look forward to doing all I can to help him lead the Pippins to a WCL Championship."
"I look forward to Opening Day," said McKimmy. "I am excited to be a part of the Pippins taking the field for the first time in front of friends and family in my hometown who have helped me find some success in this game."

In the current global economy, chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become the leading cause of death and a major health concern for both developed and developing countries. Among other factors, the worldwide spread of NCDs is driven by the globalisation of unhealthy habits. The purpose of this paper is to develop a simple statistic to measure, at the national level, the average population's exposure to the main NCDs modifiable risk factors. The approach and methodology followed by the United Nations Development Programme to compute the Human Development Index (HDI) is applied to four basic indicators of NCD-related preventable risk factors (alcohol consumption, excess caloric intake, non-balanced diet and tobacco use) in 112 countries worldwide in 2012–14.We obtain a summary composite index, which we call the Unhealthy Behaviour Index (UBI), which ranks countries by the average level of the unhealthy habits (drinking, eating and smoking) of their populations.We find that Belarus and Russian federation are the two countries with the unhealthiest NCD-related lifestyle.With the exception of Canada, the first twenty populations more exposed to the main NCDs preventable risk factors all live in European countries, and mainly in countries of Eastern Europe. Overall, the UBI tends to increase along with the level of human development. In medium, high and very high HDI countries, however, the same level of human development may be associated with very different kinds of NCD-related lifestyles. Finally, economic growth may push populations toward either more unhealthy or healthy habits, depending on the countries' level of development; the elasticity of unhealthy habits with respect to income per capita is positive (but less than one: on average 0.6) until $30,000, decreases as income rises, and becomes negative (around -0.3) in very high income countries.

Q: how to call particular function using #define macro? I want to call a particular function according to the value i passed to the macro. But it is giving me compilation error
#include <stdio.h>

#define calling(m, j) execcall ## m(j);

void execcall0 (int x) {
    printf("called 0 with arg %d\n", x);
}

void execcall1 (int x) {
    printf("called 1 with arg %d\n", x);
}

void execcall2 (int x) {
    printf("called 2 with arg %d\n", x);
}

int main () {
    int i = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        calling(i, 1);
    }
}

Compilation error:
In function `main':
new.c:(.text+0x7a): undefined reference to `execcalli'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Is it even possible whatever i am trying?

A: If you want to call a function based on the value of an integer you're better off writing an array of pointers to your functions, and indexing into the array using your integer.
void execcall0(int x);
void execcall1(int x);
void execcall2(int x);

/* Array of pointers to void functions taking an int parameter. */
void (*apfn[])(int) =
{
    execcall0,
    execcall1,
    execcall2,
};

int main()
{
   int i;
   for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
      (apfn[i])(1);
   }
}

Remember to check the boundary conditions before you index!

A: You can use an array to store functions, and modify the macro:
#include <stdio.h>

#define calling(m, j) exec_funcs[m](j)

void execcall0 (int x) {
    printf("called 0 with arg %d\n", x);
}

void execcall1 (int x) {
    printf("called 1 with arg %d\n", x);
}

void execcall2 (int x) {
    printf("called 2 with arg %d\n", x);
}

void (*exec_funcs[3])(int) = { execcall0, execcall1, execcall2 };

int main () {
    int i = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        calling(i, 1);
    }
}

But then you don't really need a macro.

Claims against possessors of art continue to proliferate. The impulse to unravel transactions in stolen art has inspired new legal maneuvers and defenses. While museums are obvious front-line defendants, the legal risks and ethical pressures also affect private collectors, governments, recovery agencies and insurers. They also provide unprecedented opportunities for claimants.
The aim of this seminar is to inform practicing lawyers and museum staff about initiatives that are being taken to diversify the practice of art recovery in a trans-Atlantic context. Eminent practitioners from the US and the UK will report on approaches to litigation within each jurisdiction to highlight the differences and similarities between them.
At this Study Forum a panel of specialised speakers will examine aspects of the law relating to art and antiquities, including criminal law (theft, handling, money laundering, the Dealing in Cultural Objects (Offences) Act), contract (formation, exclusion and limitation clauses), international conventions.
In some real estate properties that I saw recently, one of the major things I noticed is them having a good collection of art and antiquities of these properties. In a Texas MCE before, where I had joined, we had been tackling the same too and that what can we do to help about this issue and problem.
Artworks are actually among the best you can have for your properties. They can be a good collection or investments like for those michigan real estate continuing education students that have some of artwork collection.

Starmount Forest - North Carolina - USA

Championships hosted: U.S. Women's Open
Write a review for Starmount Forest
Planned as Hamilton Lakes due to the neighborhood it resides in, Starmount Golf Club (as it was originally named) opened for play in 1930, becoming a PGA Tour stop in 1938 when it first co-hosted the Greater Greensboro Golf Tournament along with Sedgefield Country Club.
It was a public course on a limited budget but managed one week a year during most of the 1940s and 1950s to make itself available as a presentable test for the best professionals in the country. The second edition of the US Women's Open was also held here in 1947.
In the book The Life and Works of Wayne Stiles, authors Bob Labbance and Kevin Mendick write: "For reasons that remain a mystery, Starmount long considered itself a Perry Maxwell course, though no original source documentation can be found that ties the Oklahoma-based designer to the course.
George Cobb remodelled in 1970, but the level nature of the land and firm sub-soil prevented proper drainage until a Lester George revamp in 1999. With that problem corrected, and new L-93 planted greens, the course has delighted old time members and friends in the new century."
Reviews for Starmount Forest
Description: Host venue for the 1947 US Women's Open, the course at Starmount Forest Country Club was laid out by Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek in the early 1930s and it's the only North Carolina project the well-respected design duo ever worked on.

Steeped in a rich history of golf's greatest players, Starmount Forest imparts a special feeling as you enter the property, ascend the long driveway to the pro shop, and soak in views of the hallowed grounds. It is also impossible to miss its modern amenities which include a magnificent clubhouse, top notch short game area, and water slide worthy of an amusement park.
Situated in the suburban/urban divide of Greensboro, Starmount Forest exemplifies the mission of any country club: offering its members a retreat from the bustle of city life. The layout rolls over mixed topography and incorporates a number of natural waterways in true classical fashion. Architecturally, two main themes emerge throughout the round.
The first is the varied nature of the dogleg corridors. In fact, with so many twists and turns, the green is not visible from the tee on 13 of the 14 par fours and fives. Neither a fade, nor a draw, nor a perfectly straight ball will suffice to conquer Starmount Forest. Perhaps the most compelling aspect of the design, though, is that on any individual hole, the adventure can change drastically after the bend.
This characteristic is exemplified by the par four 6th which comfortably sits among my favorites of 3,800 unique holes played. From the tee, the player can easily experience a sensation of tunnel vision. With houses left, out-of-bounds right, and a creek acting as a wall at the end of the fairway, nerves sink in as you must either drop a perfectly positioned layup, or severely hook the ball around the corner. After descending to the fairway, though, the approach to the green emerges as a wide-open vista. The creek, which previously ran perpendicular to play, then must be conquered in parallel, often forcing the opposite shot shape from your drive. This type of diversity – on a single hole, no less – is fascinating and favors no player.
The second main characteristic of Starmount Forest are the exceptional putting surfaces which are frequently banked into the natural hills of the property. Given the firm nature of the Bermuda grass, and the fact that almost every approach must be played aerially, players often need to consider how the ball will react with the ground upon landing. In some instances, a well-struck shot may unfavorably bounce to an irrecoverable chipping area. In others, a player may be able to use the natural contours to roll an approach to a different tier. This feature is seen at holes such as the 8th where a draw to the more accessible front right portion of the green can swing all the way to a guarded back left pin.
Starmount Forest may not be long by modern standards, but it is a dream layout for players who can work the ball. This second shot golf course will test every club in your bag and dare you to play aggressively around its many dogleg holes. It is a golf tradition that continues to stand the test of time.

An enjoyable round of golf just west of downtown Greensboro, NC. The course is always in fantastic shape and has a rich history with it's association to the Greater Greensboro Open (now known as the Wyndham Championship and from hosting the second US Women's Open. It's a short course by modern standards and longer hitters can take advantage by cutting some corners and flying fairway bunkers. It does have a great set of par 3s which to me are the highlight of the course. Holes 2-4 and 14-17 are the best stretches of golf since the are on the periphery of the property and away from the compact middle of the property near the clubhouse. The closing holes on each side just leave me a little disappointed and plays into my overall view of the course. It is still a fun round of golf. If you are in the area and have already played Sedgefield CC, Grandover East, Bryan Park Champions and Forsyth CC give it a shot!

Marconi Memorial

NCR CLP, 2007
The Marconi Memorial cultural landscape, US Reservation 309 A, is located in NW Washington, D.C. and is bordered by Lamont Street NW to the northeast and 16th Street NW. The 0.23-acre reservation forms the middle of a chain of six discontiguous reservations located along 16th Street NW that are collectively known as the Mount Pleasant Parks and is an example of a DC Small Park. This reservation is administered by Rock Creek Park (ROCR). The period of significance for the Marconi Memorial is 1941 and corresponds to the memorial's installation and dedication.
The memorial contributes to the Mount Pleasant Historic District, which was listed on the National Register on October 5, 1987. The upper 16th Street Corridor and Mount Pleasant developed as a result of the streetcar lines in Washington, DC. The cultural landscape is located north of the White House and Meridian Hill Park and east of Rock Creek Park.

The monument comprises a series of pink granite rectilinear masses and employs Academic Abstraction design elements, using Art Moderne stylistic details that were popular during the 1930s. The lowest component incorporates two steps leading to a broad platform. A narrow central pedestal bears a gilded bronze portrait bust of Guglielmo Marconi gazing southward.
Behind this pedestal stands a tall and broad granite slab which supports a gilded bronze sculpture comprised of electrical waves disappearing into clouds set beneath an emerging world. Atop the world sits a dynamic nude female with her left arm extending east and her right arm bent and pointing to the sky. The figure's arms, the drapery around her legs blowing behind, and her wavy mass of stylized hair echo the electrical waves below, a nod to Marconi's work in radio wave technology. The Marconi Memorial is the work of prominent sculptor Attilio Piccirilli.
The Guglielmo Marconi Memorial is significant as a rare example of the commemoration of an individual associated with technology in Washington, D.C. Marconi is credited with the invention of the first radio wave communication system. Congress approved legislation for the memorial on April 13, 1938 and President Franklin Roosevelt signed the bill into law the next day. The monument was erected by popular subscription collected by the Marconi Memorial Foundation, and was completed on June 30, 1941.

The memorial statuary sits at the northern curved edge of the park. A red brick sidewalk, lined with two benches, separates the memorial from the wedge of lawn to the north of it. Funds for the memorial were raised by the Marconi Memorial Foundation. Its secretary, Samuel Di Falco, took umbrage at the initially proposed location for the memorial. Originally, the statuary were to be sited within Meridian Hill Park, where another notable Italian, the writer Dante Alighieri was already memorialized in stone. In an effort to appeal to modern-day Italian sensibilities, the new site for the Marconi Memorial was proposed, just one block away from where the Italian Embassy stood at the time.
Paragraph 5 The majority of the landscape features were designed by landscape architect Joseph Gardner in August of 1940 and included vegetation, bituminous concrete walkways, and a central area of turf. The most prominent feature is the statue of Guglielmo Marconi. Following the installation of the memorial to Guglielmo Marconi in 1941, the landscape of 309 A remained relatively unchanged until 1988. During this time, the vegetation was updated with disease-hardy and pest-resistant plants and the circulation pattern was modified. While making some changes, the new plan was sensitive to the original design intent. The vegetation, now Crepe Myrtle and Gnome Pyracantha, still frames and highlights the memorial.
Just inside the reservation boundaries, a series of four benches faced outward. The median strip between the sidewalk and the street was lined with large deciduous trees, now elm trees.
Though in fair condition, the park is now subject to heavy pedestrian use, affecting the soil and vegetation of the park as well as the memorial itself. It also has lost relationship to the Italian Embassy, which now sits over a mile southwest of the park.
