For homeowners young and old looking for the easiest and most affordable way to grow incredible vegetables, the Raised Row method shared in this breakthrough book puts it all together!
Raised Row Gardening – How To Grow Incredible Produce With Little To No Weeding!
Ever since we first began to implement our Raised Row Gardening techniques in our backyard garden some 7 years ago, we have been stunned at how amazingly simple vegetable gardening can be! And as we started writing and speaking about it to others, the method simply took off!
Raised Row Gardening is THE answer to having great home-grown produce without having to spend countless hours weeding, tilling, hoeing and spraying.
A Raised Row Garden uses just soil and mulch to create raised growing rows and walking rows that are easy to maintain, contain little to no weeds, and produce amazing results year after year! No need to ever till, and no need for expensive raised beds.
Just pure simple gardening with little to zero weeding!
For the past 12 months, we have worked with the editors and photographers of Page Street Publishing (a division of McMillan Publishing) to put every concept of our simple, organic, and low maintenance Raised Row Gardening method together.
It has been one amazing experience, and one that we know will help gardeners of all ages to create the ultimate low-maintenance vegetable garden they have always wanted.
From how to set up an initial garden, to planning, planting, cover crops, composting and more – the Raised Row Gardening Book is truly the ultimate guide to low maintenance, high yield gardening!
The Raised Row Gardening book integrates our entire low maintenance gardening system in a step by step, easy to reference format, with tons of new tips and information.
It is filled with beautiful full color photos and diagrams, that help the reader understand Raised Row Gardening is a simple, straightforward way.

Q: Auto Delete Hidden File when USB Connected? I have a MacAir running El Capitan with all updates. I use a USB stick to move movies from Mac to Samsung Smart TV. The TV writes a hidden file " .device_info_*** " (long abstract filename). This file keeps details of movie folders in it... but does not update. So when I delete a movie... the folder stays hidden on the stick in this file and shows again when connected to the TV. I have created a work around by showing hidden files and deleting this file... the old folder info disappears when viewing on the TV and the TV writes a new file when USB is reinserted. But the whole process starts all over again.
I want to have an auto script that deletes the .device_info_*** file every time the USB is connected to my MacAir - without any user interface or questions about "are you sure, etc" . The asterisks in my example are wildcards because the filenames created are different every time (after the .device_info_ part of the name).
What script would do this? And can wild cards be used as part of the filename in the script?
I am not a script writer but am pretty savvy.

A: Here's a Keyboard Maestro script that deletes a file when a partition is mounted:

If you want wildcards, it might be more useful to use a script action with rm:
rm /Volumes/volumename/.file*

85 Years with the King: Elvis Presley
Description: On September 9, 1956, more than 60 million people witnessed a young entertainer with gyrating hips and a honey-coated baritone voice croon his way into national consciousness on The Ed Sullivan Show. His rubbery legs spread wide apart, head thrown carelessly back and mouth twitching, it was apparent that this man was different.

What Makes Modern Design Modern?
Description: When modern design surfaced along with the birth of the machine age in the early 20th century, it brought a new concept of beauty (some might say ugliness) to our world.

What are the characteristics that make design modern? How has modern design changed the way we view our surroundings? These are the questions we will explore in this illustrated talk.
Instructor: George H. Marcus teaches the history of art at the University of Pennsylvania and has written many books on architecture and design, including Introduction to Modern Design (2020) and The Houses of Louis Kahn (2013). For more than 30 years, he served as director of publications at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Alyson Ward Sep. 23, 2016 Updated: Sep. 26, 2016 11:12 a.m.
To some people, Javier Mallarino is a hero; for others, he is "public enemy number one." A political cartoonist in Colombia, the man has the power to "cause the repeal of a law, overturn a judge's decision, bring down a mayor, or seriously threaten the stability of a ministry, and all this with no other weapons than paper and India ink."
Juan Gabriel Vásquez explores the arena of public opinion - fickle and unsteady territory - in his sharp, compact novella "Reputations."
Vásquez studied Latin American literature at the Sorbonne and lived in Europe for much of the past two decades, but in recent years he has returned to live in his native Colombia. He'll be in Houston in November for a reading, part of Inprint's Margarett Root Brown Reading Series.
In "Reputations," Mallarino has made a career of cartoons that are both witty and sharp, like "a stinger dipped in honey." He has built a sterling reputation over four decades, jabbing at powerful figures in his cartoons on the newspaper editorial page.
Juan Gabriel Vásquez will read in Houston this fall as part of Inprint's Margarett Root Brown reading series. He'll appear with author Rabih Alameddine at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 21 at the Alley Theatre, 615 Texas; $5 tickets available at inprinthouston.org.
"Everyone knew the space where his cartoon had always been: in the very center of the first page of opinion columns, that mythic place where Colombians go to hate their public figures or figure out why they love them, that great collective couch of a persistently sick country."
Mallarino's world is the Colombian upper-middle class; he has been anti-establishment for so many decades, he has been embraced by the establishment. His outspoken cartoons have inspired death threats but, as his publisher said, "you're nobody in this country until somebody wants to hurt you."
And at 65, he is given a national achievement award for his long career. The national post office even unveils a stamp created in his honor.
"Caricatures might exaggerate reality, but they can't invent it," he tells the vast theater full of well-wishers. "They can distort, but never lie."
At the reception afterward, a young woman approaches Mallarino, claiming to be a blogger and asking him for an interview. He agrees, telling her to come to his house the next afternoon.
That's when the cartoonist's life takes a turn. The woman, Samanta Leal, is not a writer; she lied to gain access to his house. When she tells him why she's really there, Mallarino realizes that he met her when she was a young girl. She's been in this house before. And the story of what happened that day - a story neither of them fully knows - is crucial to both of them.
It's difficult to offer more details without giving away the heart of the story. For some time, the book becomes a mystery, a hunt for the truth, and that shouldn't be spoiled. Mallarino, for his part, ends up wondering whether a politician he skewered nearly 30 years ago - a man he despised, who may have been guilty of terrible things - was treated unfairly. The question has the potential to undermine the black-and-white, ink-and-paper career Mallarino has made. He'd destroyed that man's reputation with his cartoon, and he'd built up his own. Was he right?
It upsets Mallarino's world to think that his reputation is built on such quicksand, that he might lose his "moral authority" and become "a cheap rumormonger, a sniper of other people's reputations." He sees how easily his public stature could be turned against him imagining the enemies he's made over 40 years - all the people he's prodded with his pen - "egging on a crazed mob ready to judge him summarily and burn him at the stake, the stake of capricious, changeable public opinion."
The prose in "Reputations," translated by Anne McLean, is spare, simple and lovely. It is constructed like a good short story, with no extraneous scenes or unnecessary action. Vásquez has written a page-turner, a story that's intriguing enough to follow through its short unfolding. It's also a rumination on the power of public opinion that keeps churning long after the final page.

Attracts the right target group in the science and technology industry. Investors, venture capitalists, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, distributors and the corporate sectors make their way to ITEX specifically to explore new business ventures. ITEX is the best place to unveil a new invention or product.
The industry's keenest are here to discuss and debate reseach work. Fellow inventors and researchers will be delighted with the level of academic discussion enabled here.
ITEX is where commercialisation of inventions/new products happens. Inventors can seek out potential investors here and convince them why funding their invention can benefit society.
ITEX provides the best audience for prototype inventions or products. Get feedback from investors and fine-tune to achieve successful commercialisation.
ITEX is spectacular. I mean it's such a celebration in inventions by so many different groups and it's fantastic. I think it's really forward thinking that Tan Sri Ong came out with 20 to 30 years ago, the idea that he would really inspire a whole generation of people to be inventors and to improve the country. It's spectacular!
I am actually happy to receive this award from ITEX and in fact this is probably my 15th edition participating in ITEX. But this is my first time as a project leader getting a special award from ITEX. I am urging the young scientists or researchers to participate in these invention events like ITEX and judge yourself from then on to improve your invention.
I would say ITEX is definitely a good platform and has good exposure because last two days there are many potential investors as well as good leads. We had a lot of contacts and I think we have lots of follow up jobs to do after this. So thank you ITEX.

DOE Official: U.S. Fuels Trend Threatens Energy Security
As nuclear and coal-based plant retirements continue, the Energy Department is growing concerned about the impacts of a "historic shift" in energy resources.
"Today, America's grid is reliable and resilient to disruption because of the diversity and security of fuels that supply it. But the most secure of these fuels are retiring at an alarming rate that if unchecked will threaten our ability to recover from intentional attacks and natural disasters," Undersecretary of Energy Mark W. Menezes told the 2018 EIA Energy Conference earlier this month.
Menezes said a "historic shift away from diverse, fuel-secure resources" is underway.
"We're losing more than grid resiliency. We're losing energy security," Menezes said, adding that President Trump views the development as "a national security issue." To that end, he said Trump has directed Energy Secretary Rick Perry to "prepare steps to stop the loss of these critical resources."
Jay Morrison, NRECA vice president for regulatory issues, said he agrees with Menezes that existing policy undervalues the benefits of coal and nuclear.
"We've always maintained that the industry, the country and consumers benefit when federal policy embraces an 'all of the above' strategy," said Morrison. He noted that NRECA supports a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission decision requiring regional transmission operators to evaluate the resilience of their systems and to look at ways to ensure continued resilience as the fuel mix transitions.
Menezes also cautioned that as the U.S. shies away from nuclear power, there will be more at stake than just energy security and grid resilience. The industry "will also lose its technical expertise, its supply chain, and ability to influence international policy."
Under the U.S. Atomic Energy Act, Menezes added, countries wanting to use American nuclear technology must agree to non-proliferation and to limit uranium enrichment to peaceful purposes.
"China has risen as a global power in nuclear engineering and is looking to export its expertise," he said.
"China does not have such a law."


From an interior design perspective, I find the color a bit on the dull and dreary side, however, mixing it with vivid hues adds interest and energy, creating a more lively palette.
One reservation I have about Marsala is that it's reminiscent of Burgundy, and if paired with Hunter Green, we'll quickly revisit home interiors circa 1988. Let's not go there!
Regardless of your personal feeling about this color, Marsala will influence the fashion, cosmetic, and design industry throughout 2015. Although I don't envision large upholstered goods or entire rooms painted in this hue, Marsala has already made its way into home accent products.
Due to its natural earthiness, my guess is that this wine-kissed hue will have a bigger influence in the fashion and beauty industries.
Whether you prefer to drizzle Marsala on your chicken breast, sprinkle it as an accent in your master bedroom, or polish your nails with it, this rich, burnished color adds a touch of warmth to any mix.
The warm glow of lights and shiny adornments tend to bring sparkle and coziness into our homes during the holiday season. But with the decorations put away, you might find your space feels a bit bare and uninviting.
What if you kept a few of your favorite seasonal items on display throughout the remaining days of winter? I'm not suggesting leaving the tree up until Easter, but what if some of those shiny silver accents stayed in place to keep the sparkle glowing? Just replace the holiday ribbons, bows, and candles with accents in colors that complement your room's furnishings.
And you don't have to ditch the fresh greenery if it's still thriving. Sprigs of greens are the perfect accent that can keep your home feeling warm and alive throughout the winter months.


WASHINGTON (November 18, 2010) – The results released today from the 2009 12th-grade National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are unquestionably mixed. The good news is that high school students have made gains in both reading and math. But despite those improvements, staggeringly low achievement overall and enormous gaps between student groups are sobering reminders of the need to redouble our focus and supports for the students and the educators in our nation''s high schools.
It is important to remember that these NAEP results represent students who actually make it to their senior year. Indeed, of every 100 ninth-graders, about 25 of them aren''t in 12th-grade four years later, and those 25 are disproportionately low-income and minority students.
Only about one in five low-income and minority students is Proficient in reading.
About one in 10 low-income and minority students is Proficient in mathematics.
Among the states that participated in the assessment, the results tend to mirror those from the fourth and eighth grade assessments. For example, Connecticut had the largest gaps in the nation, in both subjects and for all student groups.
Unfortunately, it's clear that our high schools are not helping prepare students for the futures to which they aspire: Almost 80 percent of the 12th-graders who participated in the assessment plan to enroll at a two- or four-year college after graduating.
The biggest predictors of college success are taking high-level courses in high school and acquiring strong math skills. But even for those who don''t plan to go to college, the demands of our economy require them to have the same skills and knowledge as those who are college bound.
To ensure that students graduate ready for college or the workplace, they need two things: rigorous curriculum and strong teachers. And while more and more states are putting all students – rather than just a select few – on the college-prep track, a new analysis of data from the federal Schools and Staffing Survey shows that we may be neutralizing that effort by assigning core academic classes in our high-poverty schools to teachers who are utterly unprepared to teach them.
The analysis shows that one out of every five core academic courses -– that is, English/language arts, math, science, and history/social studies -– in America's high-poverty secondary schools is taught by someone without an academic major nor certification in that subject area. In math, the frequency of out-of-field teaching grows to one in four classes at high-poverty schools. And the trends are similar for schools who educate mainly students of color: At high-minority schools, more than 21 percent of math classes are taught by out-of-field teachers.
These inequities in teacher assignments are compounded by the fact that few states and school systems give teachers the tools they need to determine whether student work is meeting – or missing – the mark. While states set standards for what high school students should know and be able to do, they typically don't provide teachers with the supporting curricular materials and model assignments they need to teach those standards. As a result, there can be wildly different expectations for students from one English II classroom to another, even when those classrooms are in the same school or district.


What a masterpiece Year 1 have created! A massive thank you to Amanda from Nordon Farm, the children really loved it.
Race to see who can find all of the number bonds to 10!
What a fantastic Science day! Year 1 experimented with different materials on ramps to learn about friction. They predicted which material would enable the car to travel the furthest and why and then used a graph to record their results. We hope you enjoy the photos!
More creative home learning! Pretending to be Kings or Queens for the afternoon.
What little artists we have in Year 1!
Outdoor whole class circle games!
The school nurse came into Year 1 to teach us how important it is to look after our teeth. We even got to have a go in our classroom!
Year 1 have brought in some fantastic crowns for their home learning!
It is great to see so many in school and the different designs the children have created.
The children have enjoyed wearing their crowns in school and pretending to be a King or Queen for the day.
Keep up the super home learning!
How many cubes does each number need? Fantastic work!
Concentrating on our blending in phonics... look how focused we look!
We have been working on putting a number line together! The children worked in pairs and had a race to finish which they enjoyed. Great job everyone.
Year 1 have been taking part in dance workshop once a week this term which all children have really really enjoyed!
They have done country dancing to go with our topic of the UK, and also danced to the life cycle of a caterpillar.

St. Louis trucking company tries to swerve past inflation challenges
Trucking companies are plagued by rising fuel and labor costs.
Author: Sydney Stallworth
Published: 11:01 AM CST November 28, 2022
ST. LOUIS — During the month of November 5 On Your Side has been taking a deeper look into how 2022's record levels of inflation and supply chain issues are affecting consumers and companies.
We checked in with one St. Louis trucking company who said the transport industry is facing more obstacles on the roads and rails in 2022.
We met with Nihad (Nick) Sinanovic, president of Vega Transport at the company's truck lot and mechanic shop in Granite City, Illinois.
"From foods to plastic to packaging – really anything you touch, we move it. Furniture… you name it," he said.
In 2022, business looks a bit different for Vega Transport.
"At the start of the pandemic, there was a slowdown in freight demand. But that only lasted a couple of months… After that, there was a big demand. People were buying all kinds of goods," he said. "We were super busy for the past two years or so. Now, we're seeing a slow down for freight demand… Inflation is a thing that touches everybody."
Trucking companies are plagued by rising fuel and labor costs. Higher prices for things like lumber, steel, aluminum and polyethylene mean new equipment costs a lot more than it used to.
"We primarily buy trucks and trailers. Trailers, for instance, saw a 35% increase year over year… The difficulties were not just in prices, but sourcing parts and materials," Sinanovic said.
He said it used to take the company about three months to get a new truck on the lot.
Now, it would take about a year.
"Supply chain [disruption] touches everybody," he said.
Finding drivers to get behind the wheel has also been a challenge for the past year or so.
"Hiring drivers is the number one issue with trucking companies," he said. "Now, we're seeing a little bit better inflow of drivers now that the economy is slowing down."
"We're constantly recruiting. We're seeing good results with bringing in the younger generation. It is a lifestyle but at the same time, there is local driving. Some people have this old perception that trucking is driving these old trucks and it's not comfortable. Really, it has changed a lot."
Once the drivers are secured, it's time to hit the road and that means dealing with one of the biggest issues looming over the transport industry: the price of diesel.
We talked with Dr. Mitch Elliot, an economist and professor at Webster University about the spike in American diesel prices in 2022.
"Russia was a huge producer of diesel... with the embargo of Russia and the purchase of diesel fuel, refineries are pushing out as much as they can," he said.
Over the past year, the cost of diesel has spiked more than 40%, compared to an 11% price jump for gasoline.
It costs about $60,000 for Vega Transport to fuel one of its trucks for a year.
Diesel costs are especially impactful for smaller trucking companies that aren't able to negotiate fuel rates down or lock prices into a contract.
With a fleet of about 125 trucks, we're told Vega Trucking has a fuel surcharge written into its contracts. So, it's not as affected by fluctuating fuel prices.
Still, the company has found ways to make its trips more fuel-efficient.
"We're only among 5% of trucks that use these wide-base tires. Instead of two tires here, we only have one. That saves 4% of fuel on an annual basis and that really adds up," Sinanovic said.
The entire country is facing the risk of a massive freight railroad strike. Unless an agreement is reached, the strike could start as soon as Dec. 9.
If the rails shut down, we could see shortages in everything from gas to chemicals to cars and price hikes for consumer goods.
A rail strike would mean trouble for our national economy and major pressure on the trucking industry to ramp up transports.
Sinanovic shared his thoughts on the looming potential for a rail strike.
"I have not witnessed a railroad strike in my lifetime so I'm not sure what the effects will be. But, if there's additional freight and business, we're going to welcome it. We'll be ready," he said.

Darren Stanley Hayes (født 8. maj 1972 i Brisbane), er en australsk singer-songwriter.

Hayes debuterede i 1996 som frontfigur og sanger i popduoen Savage Garden, der slog igennem med albummet af samme navn fra 1997 med singlerne "I Want You", "To the Moon and Back" og tophittet "Truly Madly Deeply". Succesen blev fulgt op af albummet Affirmation i 1999, der affødte hittene "I Knew I Loved You" og "The Animal Song". Savage Garden solgte mere end 23 mio. albums på verdensplan, inden duoen gik hvert til sit i 2001.

Det første soloalbum fra Darren Hayes, Spin, kom på gaden i 2002 og solgte 2 mio. på verdensplan. Det blev nr. 2 på den engelske albumhitliste. Det var meningen at Hayes med albummet skulle fortsætte succesen fra Savage Garden, men pladeselskabets forventninger blev ikke indfriet. Hayes' andet soloalbum, The Tension and The Spark markerede et stort stilskifte i Hayes' musik, idet han både eksperimenterede med electronica og mørke tekster. Pladeselskabet og Darren Hayes gik hvert til sit i 2006, og Hayes stiftede sit eget uafhængige pladeselskab, Powdered Sugar, som udgav hans tredje soloalbum i 2007. Det fik titlen This Delicate Thing We've Made.

I efteråret 2007 begyndte Hayes' The Time Machine Tour, som bl.a. kunne opleves i Royal Albert Hall i London. Senere gik turen til Australien, og i 2008 fortsatte tournéen til flere lande.

Tidlige liv

Hayes blev født i Brisbane, Australien, som den yngste af tre børn. Han startede med at optræde for hans mor allerede i en ung alder. Som elev på Mabel Park High School optrådte han i flere musicalopsætninger, ligesom han sang til nogle af skolens koncerter. Efter gymnasietiden blev han studerende ved University of Queensland, men endte med at udskyde studierne til fordel for musikken. Han mødte make-up-artisten Colby Taylor i 1994, og parret blev gift. Ægteskabet holdt til 1999.

Personlige liv

Darren Hayes har siden barndommen været inkarneret Star Wars-fan og har været til audition til en rolle i Star Wars Episode III: Sith-fyrsternes hævn.

Siden 2004 har Darren Hayes været bosat i London. Tidligere har han boet i San Francisco.

19. juni 2006 indgik Hayes registreret partnerskab med sin kæreste gennem 2 år, Richard Cullen. I overensstemmelse med Hayes' tidligere praksis om ikke at tale om sit privatliv, herunder sin seksuelle orientering, annoncerede Hayes først partnerskabet 17. juli.

I august 2007 blev Hayes anklaget for en racistisk motiveret verbalt overfald på en ansat på en thai-restaurant i London. Hayes blev arresteret og løsladt mod kaution, men er ikke blevet dømt for overfaldet. Episoden på restauranten i London fulgte i kølvandet på Hayes' markante offentlige kritik af Australiens premierminister John Howards politik overfor homoseksuelle.

Indian expats or British Indians live in areas all over London, but if you're looking for where to find a real Indian community spirit, then there are a number of areas across Outer London, West, South and East London that are very popular with Indian people. Indian people represent an estimated 6.4% of the population of London – this equates to around 500,000 people and the National Office of Statistics states that this is the largest non-white/non-mixed population of people in London.
First of all, let's look at Outer London.
Harrow and Watford are situated to the North-West of London and are both on the Metropolitan line. A large population of Gujarati and Tamil Indians can be found out in Zone 5 in Harrow. Most of the Gujaratis are Hindu, whereas the Tamil Indians are a mix of Roman Catholic or Hindu. Grocery Stores, butchers, delis and take-aways in the area are of the South-Asian type. In Watford, Gammons Lane is the main hub of the Tamil community – a large proportion of these people are Indian Tamils from Sri Lanka.
Moving on to East London (Inner and Outer), you'll find many of the Indians in this part of town are of the Hindu faith, although there is a small Muslim minority present, and a well-sized Sikh community. Ilford (in Essex) is extremely popular with Punjabi, Gujarati and Tamil Indians. For great Indian shops in East London, head to Green Street in Upton Park. Confusingly though, many of the people living in and around the Green Street area are actually Pakistani British.
South London's Indian communities lie predominantly in Croydon (Outer London) and Tooting which has a large amount of Gujarati Muslim people (as well as amazing curry restaurants). Most of the Indian people living in South London belong to the Hindu faith, although you'll also find various groups of Muslims and Sikhs living here too.
The largest concentration of Indian people in all of London can be found in West London around either the Southall, Hounslow or Wembley areas. Southall has a huge Punjabi community which is made evident by Southall Broadway, containing a fantastic selection of Indian restaurants, cinemas, clothing and food shops. Wembley is home to a large Gujarati community, most are Hindus but there are also decent amount of Gujarati Muslims and a few Gujarati Sikhs.
Many of the areas featured on this page have not yet been profiled by us – this is because many of them are located in Outer London. We're still working on providing detailed areas descriptions of all Inner London areas, but once we've finished doing this, we'll get started on Outer London too, as we want to give you as much information as possible when deciding where to live in London. Please bear with us!!!

Welcome to the Island!
Come on in! We're so glad you're here.
Senny Powell distinctly remembers conversations with her father about one day running a children's department store. What began as a mom and pop business has grown into a 3,400 square foot specialty store business filled with kid's clothes and items up to children's size 14.
For a boutique that is steeped in rich family heritage, its conception actually began when the Powells were unable to have children and Senny began making baby quilts as gifts. The couple found the demand so positive that the Chicago school teachers began a cottage industry in the Windy City area and spent weekends selling their goods at craft fairs. When they moved to Hilton Head Island in the early '80's, they bought an existing shop - the Snappy Turtle- and a year later opened Island Child. Today the shop includes all the needs and delights of childhood- from bedding and furniture to dolls, books, and games.
But the real story isn't about its growth or the three generation involvement. It's about family. Just as her father was involved in the store, the Powells have included their children every step of the way in their family business. Whether it's one of the older children ringing up a customer or having a family picnic dinner or camp out at the store to rearrange window displays, everyone pitches in. The Powells have seven adopted children, four girls and three boys, and have fostered seven children. They see Island Child as an extension of their own family and delight in every chance to make childhood a bit more magical for their customers.

Offshore marine renewable energy devices as stepping stones across biogeographical boundaries
Thomas Adams, Raeanne Miller, Dmitry Aleynik, Michael Burrows
Aquaculture Research Network
Offshore renewable energy provides an increasing component of our electricity supply. We have limited understanding of the potential environmental impacts of these developments, particularly in the move to larger scales. Surfaces provided by devices offer novel habitat to marine organisms, which may allow species to spread to new areas.
We used coupled biological and hydrodynamic models to investigate the spread of intertidal marine organisms with pelagic larvae (such as barnacles or gastropods) in the region around south-western Scotland. We assessed the impact of novel habitat on dispersal and its role in allowing transgression of physical barriers.
Model renewable energy device sites provided habitat for pelagic larval particles that would otherwise have been lost offshore. They also provided a source of larvae for existing coastal sites.
Many offshore devices fulfilled source and destination (or intermediate connection) roles, creating new dispersal pathways, and allowing previously impossible northward dispersal from the Northern Irish coast to Scotland.
Synthesis and applications. New habitat close to biogeographical barriers has implications for existing species¿ distributions and genetic population structure. It also affects the spread of non-native species and `climate migrants¿. Monitoring these sites for the presence of such species will be important in determining the future ecology of coastal habitat and in maintaining economic aquaculture and marina operations. Future model studies should focus on particular species of importance, taking account of their biology and current distribution.

N2 - Offshore renewable energy provides an increasing component of our electricity supply. We have limited understanding of the potential environmental impacts of these developments, particularly in the move to larger scales. Surfaces provided by devices offer novel habitat to marine organisms, which may allow species to spread to new areas. We used coupled biological and hydrodynamic models to investigate the spread of intertidal marine organisms with pelagic larvae (such as barnacles or gastropods) in the region around south-western Scotland. We assessed the impact of novel habitat on dispersal and its role in allowing transgression of physical barriers. Model renewable energy device sites provided habitat for pelagic larval particles that would otherwise have been lost offshore. They also provided a source of larvae for existing coastal sites. Many offshore devices fulfilled source and destination (or intermediate connection) roles, creating new dispersal pathways, and allowing previously impossible northward dispersal from the Northern Irish coast to Scotland.

Raptors, Pacers Battle In Pivotal Game 5
By Shafin Khan
Toronto Raptors star players Demar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry have produced sub-par results in their first round playoff matchup with the Indiana Pacers, yet the series remains spilt at two games apiece. DeRozan has averaged 29.6 percent on shooting from the field so far this series while Lowry has chalked up 32.3 percent from the floor. "Give Indiana credit, they've done a good job on DeMar and Kyle," said Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey according to Yahoo Sports. "But we haven't seen their best, they know that and it may not be by scoring points, it may be by moving … Continued

The 21st Century's Best Dynasty
By Steven Elonich
Since the turn of the millennium sports have taken on a whole new look. Rules have changed, superstars have become larger than ever, our favorite players are now owners and fantasy sports are nearly trumping the importance of reality. Although the landscape of professional athletics continues to evolve, one aspect has maintained familiarity; teams still win. Some much more than others. "Dynasty" is term loosely tossed around to describe successful teams after championship runs. In most modern sports, the talent pool has proven too deep to have a classic, 20th-century, dynasty such as the 50s Yankees, 60s Celtics or 90s … Continued

One and Done: College Basketball's Questionable Culture
By Mark Freie
The one-and-done culture of college basketball raises questions about the priorities of college programs. IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa president Sally Mason made news earlier this week when she sounded off on her alma mater. Mason, who graduated from the University of Kentucky, told The Des Moines Register about her concerns. "I'm not proud of my alma mater, that has a wonderful record of winning basketball championships, with students who stay one year to play basketball and are done — the one-and-done," Mason said While John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats look to run rampant through the 2014-2015 … Continued

I'm a principal dancer with the National Ballet of Canada and am presently working on the role of Hamlet in a production from American choreographer Kevin O'Day. I guess one could say I'm spread a little thin these days. Luckily, that's the way I like it. The best part about being so busy is that there's no time to get nervous!

We defend Public Transport! (Of Irish Rail and EU Privatisation)
As Iarnród Éireann's contract for operating train services is due to expire in 2019, the National Bus and Rail Union claims that it will vehemently oppose any move towards privatisation [1].
In recent months, the EU Commission has been pressing for changes which would see Irish Rail opened up to tenders from competitors [2]. The successful operation of the Luas by French company Veolia has convinced EU officials that there would be sufficient demand by other investors for the rail contract [2].
Save on Child Care: Smash the Patriarchy!
Child-care in Ireland is so expensive because it is so undervalued. Only through care-workers' collective withdrawal of labour will those who rely on us realise how vital our work is.
Across the European Union, childcare costs around 12% of a family's income, but in Ireland, it accounts for over 35% [1]. Where does that money go? With most childcare employees on minimum wage, it isn't going to ordinary care workers. At a protest outside Leinster House in February, 2015, the Association of Childhood Professionals estimated that there are around 25,000 people in the early childhood workforce on an average pay rate of less than €11 an hour [2].
Europe Forged in Crisis: The Emergence and Development of the EU - discussion with the author
"Although the EU is not new, and its role in determining the economic and political development of Europe is both substantial and well established, critical analysis of the EU is sorely lacking. Most of what is written on the EU is uncritically liberal and focuses on diplomatic and legislative detail. What little critical literature exists often simply interprets the EU in terms of the function it plays for neoliberal globalization. When analyses of the EU go from what it does to the larger questions of what it is and why it exists, analysis often becomes completely un-rooted."

How to avoid Bad Meetings & hold a Conversations about Anarchism - WSM training report back
WSM recently held our first Facilitation and 'Conversations about Anarchism' training day in Dublin. The photo shows the problems attendees had already encountered in meetings they had participated in. How many of them have you come across?
The purpose of the training was to give people the basics of facilitation that can avoid or at least minimise these problems.
At the end of the training all the 11 people who had taken part were very positive about it. One said "It was good to meet new people, I learned a lot about facilitation and would now be more confident now, I also learned about anarchist process" while another said "It was very comprehensive with detailed techniques about how to facilitate." Everyone said they would be interested in future trainings.
Poolbeg incinerator - city council manager assures company they can ignore vote of council
In a further confirmation of the empty nature of electoral democracy its been revealed that the Dublin City Council manager wrote to the company building the controversial Poolbeg incinerator to assure them they could ignore the two city council votes against the project. This after a special meeting when 50 out of 52 councillors voted against the proposal!
The reality of homelessness, the fight for decent housing and lessons from The Bolt hostel
Over the Last 12 months, particularly since Christmas the housing and homeless problem has deepened significantly. From last summer the amounts of families' registering as homeless went from 264 to now, which are 531. The number of families that are registered as being in need of emergency accommodation is 792 adults with 1,112 dependent children. These statics were issued by the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive.
Asylum seeker, homeless - We Rebel! We support decent housing for all!
Last week, three children under the age of six slept rough in Dublin city centre while their parents stayed awake to watch over them. As of August 2015, this family is but one of 620 families in Ireland, including more than 1,300 children, who are homeless. The root of the current crisis of housing is the current crisis of capitalism.
Finding out more about anarchism & WSM reading list
In order to become more familiar with what anarchism stands for the following are recommended by the WSM. Where possible we are also creating an audio file of the text being read, click on the Listen link to be taken to the audio.
Book length introductions
Refusing to Wait: Anarchism and Intersectionality - "Without justice there can be no love."--bell hooks
Anarchism can learn a lot from the feminist movement. In many respects it already has. Anarcha-feminists have developed analyses of patriarchy that link it to the state form. We have learned from the slogan that "the personal is political" (e.g. men who espouse equality between all genders should treat the women in their lives with dignity and respect). We have learned that no revolutionary project can be complete while men systematically dominate and exploit women; that socialism is a rather empty goal--even if it is "stateless"--if men's domination of women is left intact.
We are winning the water war
Our upcoming show of strength in Dublin on August 29th is going to be an absolutely huge gathering of people from all over the island to deliver a wholehearted 'No' to the Fine Gael/Labour government's plans to establish water charges.
"People should pay for the water they use" is a refrain we often hear from some suited up professional liar in the Dáil but it totally ignores the fact that we already pay for our water to the tune of 1.2 billion euros per year. How else would water come from our taps when we open them?
"We need infrastructure investment!" these politicians say. Yes, we do. So shouldn't the government be directing hundreds of millions of taxpayer money into repair, upgrade and maintenance work instead of setting up a company that has caused more leaks than it has fixed? Remember, when there is a water leak, Irish Water don't fix it, your local county council does.
Solidarity Times leaflet for August 29th Water Charges march
We are the crisis of Irish Water! We do not want to have our water commodified, metered, and privatised. We know why this is happening – to increase the wealth and privilege of a global financial capitalist class and their political servants in the EU and Ireland.
We refuse to bow to them. We have gotten up before dawn to stop water meter installation on our streets. We have organised meetings in our communities. We have marched in our thousands and in our hundreds of thousands, shouting "Enough!" and "No way, we won't pay!" and "Shove your meters up your arse!" We are not just angry, we are determined.
We have forced this government into climb-downs and concessions, and we will do the same to the next one. We have decided to boycott Irish Water. We are encouraging our friends, co-workers and neighbours to do the same. Our community of communities is strong and growing stronger. We will keep on growing. When we break Irish Water, we will clear the rubble and grow real solidarity, real co-operation and real community in its place.

24:1 Joash [was] seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was] Zibiah of Beersheba.
24:2 And Joash did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
24:4 And it came to pass after this, [that] Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
24:5 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened [it] not.
24:6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, [according to the commandment] of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
24:9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection [that] Moses the servant of God [laid] upon Israel in the wilderness.
24:11 Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that [there was] much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
24:14 And when they had finished [it], they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, [even] vessels to minister, and to offer [withal], and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
24:15 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old [was he] when he died.
24:22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon [it], and require [it].
24:23 And it came to pass at the end of the year, [that] the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
24:27 Now [concerning] his sons, and the greatness of the burdens [laid] upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they [are] written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. dropped in to see the next generation of Olympic boxers in Rio.
The U.S. bronze medalist at the 1996 Atlanta Games stood on a platform at Riocentro Pavilion 6 to watch Saturday evening's fights, starting with the welterweight quarterfinals. He stuck around through a major heavyweight semifinal and a first-round knockout by Britain super heavyweight Joe Joyce.
"It was good to show him what I can do," Joyce said.
Mayweather was besieged by a stream of autograph-seekers and photo-takers even with most of the U.S. men's basketball team, including Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and DeMarcus Cousins, sitting a few rows behind him, but Mayweather kept one eye on the ring. His trip to Rio also included some pictures with American Olympians, including wrestling star Jordan Burroughs.
Just so happens that @floydmayweather is hanging out in Rio for the Olympics.

Mayweather is a boxing promoter of sorts after his retirement, and he could have been scouting talent for his company. Saturday's card included several pro prospects from around the world, albeit no Americans.
The 39-year-old Mayweather retired last year after a 49-0 career. The International Boxing Association (AIBA) changed its rules this year to allow professionals to fight at the Olympics, but Mayweather had no interest.
Mayweather's undefeated professional mark has been the topic of much fanfare as he became the most famous boxer in the world. But his Olympics 20 years ago marked the last time he lost a fight, dropping a much-disputed decision before winning bronze.
