This is our "one shot" update promised earlier.
We aren't ready to announce an official "hiatus" yet, but we could be away from the Mighty Blog of Fun(tm) the next week or so due to very pressing, vital issues. We could also be here, and updating, which is why we're not invoking the "H" word. It depends on how those issues go, frankly.
But…if you don't hear from us here by next weekend, please visit our good friend and colleague Scott Fybush's NorthEast Radio Watch. He's tasked with notification should…well, we don't want to talk about it.
FORGY OUT: This is an item that passed under our virtual door last week, but we're bringing to life as we start this week.
OMW has confirmed that Radio One Cleveland VP/GM Chris Forgy is out. We're told he exited his post at the local radio cluster at the close of business last Tuesday.
There are a lot of rumors about what happened – none of which we have confirmed or will pass along. Since we're not really a sales-oriented blog, it mostly doesn't concern us anyway.
MELISSA IN: Local TV Fox affiliate WJW/8 "Fox 8 News" weather anchor Melissa Mack is, as far as we know, out of the building at South Marginal…her last day having been scheduled for last Thursday.
We still don't know what station will be her new home, or what job she'll take, but numerous OMW readers tell us she pegged her new market on the air last week as Boston.
We've been scratching around, trying to find out which Boston station will become Melissa's new employer – say, for folks back in Northeast Ohio who might wish to catch her in online video – but we have no word of her new destination.
Even TV news gossip supersite NewsBlues, helmed by former Cleveland TV newsies Mike James and his wife, former local TV legend/ex-WKYC/3 anchor Mona Scott, has not had any word about Melissa's new destination…or for that matter, anything on her departure from Cleveland.
AND OLDIES: And an update on our earlier item re: the "Sunday Oldies Jukebox"'s 12th anniversary on Akron market school-owned station WSTB/88.9 Streetsboro.
OMW hears that the station may be on financial fumes, as it were, and it may be an indirect result of the controversy which shut down WSTB for a month one year ago.
The situation was apparently covered by an article in the Streetsboro High School student newspaper earlier this month.
Though the Streetsboro City School District is the owner and licensee of WSTB, the district, like many others in the current economy, is suffering financially. It appears outside funding sources used in the past to help pay for WSTB's operation aren't what they used to be.
The student newspaper article is not online, and we don't have a copy, but we may be able to share this with you down the road. We'll share when we can.
Anyway, after our article on the "SOJ", oldies fans and OMW readers are weighing in.
One local radio type reminds us that the oldies continue to flow on the AM radio dial in Lorain County, where Doug and Lorie Wilber's locally-owned WDLW/1380 Lorain continues its "Kool Kat Oldies" format.
And we've heard from fans of Rubber City's oldies/news WAKR/1590 in Akron, though we did mention WAKR in the previous item. We'll have to do some study of station playlists to see where WAKR overlaps with the oldies on "Sunday Oldies Jukebox", which apparently reach – years-wise – from approximately 1958 to 1971.
Commercial AM radio stations playing oldies seem quite the holdovers in 2009, where even younger-skewing music formats have no home on over-air commercial radio.
Potentionally commercially-popular formats like AAA (Adult Album Alternative) have to make their home in Northeast Ohio on outlets like Akron Public Schools-non-comm WAPS/91.3 "The Summit" in Akron, or on HD2 streams in Cleveland (WNWV/107.3-HD2's eclectic adult-rock-based format, and we hear WMMS/100.7 may be doing AAA on its HD2 stream now).
OFF THE AIR: We normally flip Dayton up in the virtual air to see where it lands, in regard to coverage by OMW vs. coverage from our sister blog in Southwest Ohio, Cincinnati-area based Tri-State Media Watch.
Since we're here, we'll take this one.
WHIO-TV began experiencing intermittent problems around 10:30 a.m. Sunday and and went completely off the air around 1:30 p.m.
The outage affects over-air viewers of WHIO-TV's digital signal, along with satellite TV customers (DirecTV and Dish Network).
The station's announcement says viewers with Time Warner Cable and AT&T's video service (U-verse, we assume, like it is in Northeast Ohio) are still able to watch WHIO-TV programming. Generally speaking, major stations feed large cable systems via a direct fiber connection, if possible…so recalcitrant transmitters do not affect those systems.
As far as we know, as of this early Monday writing, WHIO-TV's over-air signal is still out.
The staff has not yet nailed down a cause for the transmission problems, (WHIO-TV VP/GM Harry Delaney) said.
"Engineers are working on it and we hope to restore full service as soon as possible and apologize for the inconvenience and disruption to their viewing," Delaney said.
We'll have a more complete semi-update sometime early Monday, then we may be scarce for a while. No, we're not ready to break out the H word, as we still could be around and updating.
But a tip of the hat to a local radio organization that could well be called "A Bunch of Friends of OMW".
The weekly "Sunday Oldies Jukebox" turns 12 years old on Sunday. The "day format" hit the airwaves on November 30, 1997.
The oldies programming takes over Streetsboro City Schools-owned WSTB/88.9 Streetsboro (otherwise a student-run alt-rocker called "The AlterNation") once a week, and adult volunteers deliver a day full of 50's and 60's (and some 70's) rock and roll oldies to audiences in the Akron area and beyond, each and every Sunday from morning until night.
The SOJ has not had a completely smooth road, of course.
OMW readers know that the Jukebox – and host station WSTB – left the air for a while recently, and you can use the search box above to catch up, if you missed all the commotion. We won't revisit the controversy here.
But the Sunday oldies stream returned to the eventually returned 88.9 FM, and continues to fill what's mostly an unmet need on the local airwaves – offering "older" rock oldies titles to local listeners, commercial free.
We haven't done a playlist analysis, but "SOJ" would seem to offer older titles that aren't even in the music library of the only local commercial AM outlet that still embraces the word "oldies", Rubber City's WAKR/1590 in Akron. We can't remember the last time we heard a 50's tune on 1590, for one…the station mainly offers popular 60's music along with its news and sports programming.
And of course, Clear Channel Cleveland FM powerhouse WMJI/105.7 "Majic 105.7" has long since abandoned those two decades – and the word "oldies" – as a station featuring "classic hits" from the 70's and 80's outside the "Lanigan and Malone" morning drive talk show.
Between those stations, and standards WKHR/91.5 Bainbridge serving up the older music for nearby areas of Cleveland's eastern suburbs, there's plenty of musical room for the SOJ.
Anyway, Happy 12th to "Uncle Bill" and the SOJ crowd from your friends here at the Mighty Blog of Fun(tm)!
OMW can confirm that Local TV Fox affiliate WJW/8 "Fox 8 News" weather anchor Melissa Mack is indeed leaving the station.
Her announcement to that effect, heard by numerous viewers on Sunday night's "Fox 8 News at 10", caused quite a stir, and an increase in E-mail traffic here at your Mighty Blog of Fun(tm).
OMW hears from insiders at South Marginal Road that it's a career move up for Melissa that's prompting her exit from Northeast Ohio. We're told that Ms. Mack is headed for "a larger market" station, but we don't know which market that is.
We hear Melissa Mack's last day on "Fox 8 News" is Thursday.
As per usual here at your Mighty Blog of Fun(tm), major activity involving local media personalities roughly coincides with our own inability to update this blog – due to absence, illness or work off the blog.
MAXWELL, OUT: For those of you who haven't been following our Twitter feed – please look to the left, or visit the feed here directly – a recap…Clear Channel Cleveland rocker WMMS/100.7 has said goodbye to Maxwell, unable to reach contract renewal terms or a contract extension with the station's afternoon drive host.
For radio negotiations, this has all been out in the open…and then some.
FYI. No agreement could be reached with the mwl show. We really tried. No secrets. He has talked about it. The process played out.
In place of the Maxwell show on Monday? It was something called the "Dumb & Charlie Experiment", which appeared to be an extended comedy bit off of the station's morning drive show "Rover's Morning Glory" (they're both cast members).
Don't expect much more than a stunt from these two – who are probably somewhat more important attached to the morning drive Rover-fest than trying to resurrect afternoon drive as a "new act".
FYI. These guys are "trying out". – – Only took a couple minutes for Rover to come to the rescue with these guys. HAAAA.
life will move on. I hired mwl. I will produce something else u will be proud of.
WMMS PD BO MATTHEWS is in full search mode for the next rock/talk afternoon show — individuals or full shows. his is a high-personality, content-heavy position. If you think you can step in, and help continue the momentum/ratings success — forward your mp3 (no larger than 5mb) and resume with references to (wmmsjob at gmail dot com).
BUT, WHAT ABOUT MELISSA: She's young, and she hasn't been at Local TV Cleveland Fox affiliate WJW/8 "Fox 8" for all that long…but morning TV weather person Melissa Mack has apparently quite a devoted following in Cleveland now.
We know that, because the former Youngstown TV personality's apparent exit announcement has rocked our E-mail box in the past few days.
At this point, the "is Melissa leaving Fox 8" E-mails have overcome the "what happened to Maxwell" E-mails, though in fairness to the now-former WMMS afternoon driver, Melissa is somewhat better looking.
Simply put, we don't know yet why Ms. Mack is apparently leaving. Enough readers to make it semi-official tell us that she said "goodbye" on Sunday night's edition of "Fox 8 News at 10".
THIS JUST IN: Maxwell Out?
If you believe the chatter this morning on Clear Channel rock WMMS/100.7's "Rover's Morning Glory" this morning, the station's afternoon drive program is out.
For now, the WMMS-hosted website for "The Maxwell Show" is still around. Stations generally pull or hide such sites when major changes are in the works.
But in a very open conversation with his listeners, WMMS morning drive leader Shane "Rover" French has made it quite clear that "Maxwell" is gone from the station.
If the on air chatter on "RMG" is accurate, again, the station apparently made a contract offer to Maxwell and his crew, which was apparently not accepted.
At your Mighty Blog of Fun(tm), we previously reported the (still pending) sale of off-air translator W262BN/100.3, licensed to Lorain, from Edgewater Broadcasting to Radio One, which owns a number of full-power stations in the Cleveland market.
So, we took another look at W262BN in the FCC records, and found this.
The FCC has approved a move we speculated about in the earlier item – Edgewater, which is still the legal owner of W262BN, has received a construction permit to move the translator's authorization to a Cleveland community of license. The CP was approved by the FCC just two days ago, on November 18th.
This FCC map of the 50 watt translator station's proposed primary service area indeed places it right in the middle of WNIR's area of concern, between Elyria and North Ridgeville at a site along the Ohio Turnpike.
Yes, FM translator facilities can indeed be that far afield of the community of license, and there's no legal requirement that W262BN's signal even reach the Cleveland city limits.
Edgewater is clearly acting on behalf of Radio One. The translator sale was approved by the FCC on September 16th, and the new paperwork lists Radio One's WZAK/93.1 as W262BN's new primary station. Of course, as we reported earlier, W262BN has not been operating at any point from the currently licensed site in Sheffield Township, with a COL of Lorain.
Since there's absolutely no need to rebroadcast the powerful signal of WZAK on a translator in eastern Lorain County, we'll still make the bet that wherever W262BN ends up, it'll become an FM rebroadcaster for AM gospel outlet WJMO/1300, probably located in an area of Cleveland where 1300's signal is not all that great at night.
Though they could well mount that effort from the proposed site between Elyria and North Ridgeville, the Cleveland COL tells us that Radio One is thinking of moving it further east.
How does all this affect WNIR?
The Akron market talker doesn't make much effort to serve Lorain County, which is on the far western fringe of its service area. Even if the translator makes it, say, to Cleveland's east side, that's also not really an area WNIR cares about serving.
But the Kent-based station presumably can't sit idly by while even a first-adjacent 50 watt translator camps out in Northeast Ohio.
If all the signal calculations work out, there may not be much Media-Com can do about this translator…which would presumably have other problems due to second-adjacent in-market WMMS/100.7.
After weeks of promising Christmas music next week via a countdown on its website, CBS Radio Cleveland AC powerhouse WDOK/102.1 couldn't resist opening its presents early.
Numerous OMW readers alerted us that "SoftRock 102.1" turned on the holiday music this morning, three days before the end of the online countdown.
Sure enough, the station – both on-air and online – is playing the seasonal music, and promoting itself as "Cleveland's Holiday Music Station".
And if Salem CCM WFHM/95.5 "The Fish" is planning a similar flip to Christmas music, it'll now be second in the market.

Q: numpy: linspace calculation generating nan. How to remove point pair from both arrays? I'm curious if there's an elegant way to solve the problem below, preferably using as few lines of code as possible and is easy to remember, possibly a built-in numpy function?
Let's say I have a function f(x) and I want to be lazy and generate a np.linspace over an x range that purposely generates values of x where f(x) is not defined, so some of the points from my linspace correspond to "nan" in the my f(x) array.
My question is how to filter (or generate two new arrays) that only saves point pairs (x, f(x)), where f(x) != nan?
%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(-2,2,20)

with np.errstate(all='ignore'):
   fx = np.sqrt(x**2 - 1)

# here we can see "nan"
print(fx)

# want something here that removes
#   (x[i], fx[i]) pair from arrays if x[i] has 'nan' as value
# <insert code>

plt.plot(x,fx)

A: There isn't really any need to filter out the nan, they are simply not plotted.

If you want to filter them out, the line gets connected.
 plt.plot(x[~np.isnan(fx)],fx[~np.isnan(fx)])

A: You can try this out:
X_ = [(X) for (X,FX) in zip(x,fx) if math.isnan(FX)==False]
FX_ = [(FX) for FX in fx if math.isnan(FX)==False]

plt.plot(X_,FX_)

A: %matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
x = np.linspace(-2,2,20)
#print(x)
with np.errstate(all='ignore'):
   fx = np.sqrt(x**2 - 1)

# here we can see "nan"
#print(fx)

#   (x[i], fx[i]) pair from arrays if x[i] has 'nan' as value
# <insert code>
a=pd.DataFrame({'Column1':x[:],'Column2':fx[:],}).dropna(inplace=True)
print(a)
plt.plot(a.Column1,a.Column2)
plt.xlabel("x")
plt.ylabel("fx")

A: %matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(-5, 5,100)

with np.errstate(all='ignore'):
   f1 = np.sqrt(x**2 - 1)

# filter nan based on f1 position
f2  = f1[~np.isnan(f1)]
x2  = x[~np.isnan(f1)]

plt.plot(x2,f2, '.')

MOTORBASE ON THE TOP STEP AGAIN AT SNETTERTON
by admin | Oct 29, 2020 | 2020 Season | 0 comments
Race winner Ollie Jackson has heaped praise on his Motorbase Performance British Touring Car Championship after powering to his second victory of the campaign at Snetterton last weekend.
The Ford Focus ST driver withstood huge pressure in the final race of the day in Norfolk to bank his second triumph of the season as he closes in on a best-yet top 10 finish in the points standings with only three races of the 2020 campaign remaining.
His performance was all the more impressive after he was the innocent victim of a race-one shunt which meant he had started the second race of the afternoon on the 11th row of the starting grid.
One of the drives of the season meant he was able to climb up to an astonishing eighth place, which put him on the front row for the reversed grid final encounter. Once he had wrested the lead on the opening lap, Jackson didn't look back to claim the champagne. He was under attack throughout the 12 laps but held his nerve to back up his maiden career win at Silverstone in late September.
"It feels as though wins are like busses: two come along at once," said Jackson afterwards. "It's brilliant and l've soaked it in a bit more this time. It's absolutely fantastic to have another great result.
"I didn't think it was going to happen after getting knocked back on the opening lap of race one and I pretty much started from the back in race two. I'm really grateful for the team and the car that we had the pace to pull the weekend around.
"The goal before three was to get the good start and lead by the end of the first lap. I got the good start and I made my way past [polesitter] Chris Smiley and it looked like Adam Morgan [who was chasing] was struggling in the Mercedes with the back end and I took advantage of that and sneaked through and held it.
"I think I might have mastered the art of launching a touring car now after picking up 10 spots in two laps in race two. The car has made it happen this weekend, it's such a fantastic bit of kit."
Alongside Jackson, Motorbase man Rory Butcher had a successful weekend bagging strong points in all three races to keep himself in the hunt for the championship top three. The Scotsman claimed two fourth-placed finishes and a fifth spot in a solid weekend.
Despite those results, Butcher thinks there was even more to unlock from his pace, and a collision in the third race of the weekend wiped out his hopes of making it a double podium for the Motorbase team.
Butcher said: "We've had two rounds on the bounce where we have lacked in the points department and we've had some misfortune. We definitely had a pacey car this weekend and I wanted some silverware but that didn't happen.
"It was great to see Ollie leading race three and I was trying to put pressure on Adam Morgan in second so that I could overtake him and to also take some hear off Ollie so that he could get away. It would have been lovely got a podium as well. Ollie has made the team happy and it is great points for us."
Team principal David Bartrum paid tribute to Jackson's comeback in race two, which he said set-up the victorious run in the finale.
"Ollie has driven brilliantly," he said. "He had the bad luck in race one and he ended top getting punted so he has had to come through the pack. To get up to eighth position in race two has set the scene for the win. That drive in race two is arguably a better drive that he produced to win two.
"To get back to eighth to be in the draw and then to go from third off the line to first and win the race – he has not been gifted that, he's won it from the way he has built his weekend. I'm over the moon for Ollie. I think this is one of his most complete weekends as he has qualified well and raced well.
"However, it is disappointing as I expected a bit more from Rory. Two fourths and a fifth is what it ended up, but it should have been a double podium for us. They are still good results and if someone had said to me one of my drivers would win and everything in the top five for the other car you would be over the moon with that."
The final rounds of the British Touring Car Championship will take place at the Motorbase Performance team's home circuit of Brands Hatch on November 14-15, and the entire event will be broadcast live on ITV4.

The key to safely living in a pest free home is figuring out the best way to balance offense and defense. Most people notice the occasional cricket or spider and don't think much of it, but their presence in your home could be inviting to one of Arizona's most concerning pests, bark scorpions. Keep reading to learn about a safe and effective way to help secure your home from bark scorpions and the pests they actively hunt.
It may seem unusual, but surrounding your home with a powdery, organic substance known as diatomaceous earth is extremely effective for controlling scorpions and other pests. This food-grade substance is entirely composed of fossilized organisms called diatoms, which are particularly deadly to anything with an exoskeleton. It helps with keeping scorpions out of homes because the sharp diatoms cut through their exoskeleton, causing them to become dehydrated and eventually die.
Food grade diatomaceous earth is commonly used in household products such as toothpaste or cat litter. You are guaranteed to see fewer pests in your home without needing to worry about the safety of your children or pets. This makes it a great alternative to boric acid, another commonly used household pest control substance. Not only is it safe, but it's also easy to find. Many health food stores, pet stores, and online shops sell diatomaceous earth at affordable prices.
Although this method works very well for keeping scorpions out of homes, it is important to seek assistance from Phoenix pest control professionals who are experienced in organic pest control. Contact Green Home Pest today if you notice scorpions around your home or business.

Planning commission rejects development proposal
By Staff Reports | July 12, 2018 | 0
By CHRIS EVERSOLE
The Mustang Planning Commission voted 6-0 Tuesday to deny a proposed planned unit development on E. State Highway 152.
The proposal, with a hotel and a restaurant facing the road and homes on small lots abutting country estates, had been contested by neighbors.
Developer Sam Hemani said he would not take the proposal to city council, which has the final decision. The planning commission is only advisory.
Instead, Hemani is eyeing a six-acre plot in Oklahoma City adjacent to the extension of the John Kilpatrick Turnpike.
The planning commission voted after a lengthy public hearing at which a group of neighbors repeated complaints they had voiced at board's June meeting.
Last month's meeting was continued so Hemani could meet with the neighbors and make changes addressing their concerns as well as respond to issues that city staff raised.
Over the past month, Hemani reduced the number of homes he planned to 36 from 38, and he moved the hotel site so it would impact fewer homes.
But the changes didn't satisfy the neighbors – or the planning commission.
In addition, Community Development Director Melissa Helsel and City Attorney Jonathan Miller still had concerns about how the proposal was at odds with city ordinances and the Imagine Mustang Comprehensive Plan.
The neighbors contended that the homes would detract from their rural lifestyle.
Tuesday, homeowner Doug Monson complained that the restaurant could be a nuisance.
"It could have a bar, loud music and dancing," he said.
During the June hearing, Vic Doray said that he and his wife had moved from a tract home in Bethany nine years ago to a home on a large lot in the area, which is south of State Highway 152 and west of Morgan Road.
"We had finally realized our dream of a home on a country road," he said.
City ordinances and the comprehensive plan dictate that the "rural estates" zoning in the area – with lots required to be at least one acre in size – be given special attention, Doray said.
"This covenant should not be impaired," he said.
Other speakers said they feared that the project would increase flooding, although the city requires that developments hold the runoff they create on site.
On the other hand, some speakers contended that the holding ponds for the project would retain water that keeps their ponds wet.
Some said they feared that guests in the multi-story hotel would peer into their backyards.
"It would be an invasion of our privacy," Terry Tipton said.
He noted that although he planned for lots of about one-third of an acre, the residential part of the project would be a gated community with homes selling for up to $300,000.
However, the feelings about neighborhood preservation remained strong.
Monson reflected those feelings during the public hearing.
"I can't believe what the owners paid for the property," he said.
"The city is not obligated to bail them out because they made a big investment."

Three spine-tingling wails pierced the night air. 'Beach stone-curlew,' I murmured, huddling closer to Mum.
A warm, salty gust blasted my face and waves crashed on the shore ahead. The people in front of us whispered, their voices ghostlike in the dark.
'Everyone ready?' asked the ranger, Shane, as our group of twenty hurried after him along the track. Shoes shuffled across the coarse sand.
Ten-year-old Isaac and his mother live south of Bundaberg in Queensland, where his mum manages The Pines Holiday Village, a council-owned caravan park. Since Dad is no longer around, Isaac helps his mum as much as he can. In between, he's a huge fan of the local wildlife, particularly the turtles. Now there's a full moon and turtles are coming ashore to lay eggs on the beach where they were born. But as well as too much work and not enough time to spend with his friends or the turtles, there are grumpy bloggers, dogs and cats to contend with. Isaac has his work cut out to keep the turtle nests safe until the eggs hatch and a new generation of turtles can make their first journey safely to the sea.
Isaac is doing it tough. He's lost his dad, his mum is working too hard and no one seems to appreciate how hard he's trying to keep everyone happy. This is Samantha Wheeler's third title featuring young characters working to save iconic Australian animals. Each includes a fast-paced adventure and information about animals and the challenges they face for survival in the environment they share with humans. The bright covers on these fictional but also informative novels are very engaging. Recommended for mid-primary readers

Penelope the Mountain Pygmy Possum, by Gordon Winch & Stephen Pym
Penelope looked down the mountain, but Percy was nowhere to be seen.
'Where's that Percy?' she thought. 'He should be coming back by now.'
Penelope the pygmy possum wakes from her winter hibernation, looking forward to the return of her mate, Percy, who has spent the winter with the other males away from the cold of the mountains. But there is a problem. Over the winter roadworkers have built a new road, and now it is blocking the path of the male possums. Luckily, Rick the Ranger has a solution, and soon the males are using a new tunnel under the road to get home. Penelope and Percy are reunited.
Penelope the Mountain Pygmy Possum is a cute picture story book which fictionalises the real events surrounding the building of a 'tunnel of love' for male pygmy possums to safely leave and return from the Snowy Mountains during the colder months, while the female possums remain on the mountains and hibernate. The story gives young readers the chance to learn about the pygmy possum and the threats to its existence. Illustrations show realistic landscapes, roadworks and wildlife, though the possums are partly anthropomorphised for narrative purposes.
Educational and entertaining.

The Rescue Ark by Susan Hall, ill Naomi Zouwer
The children gazed gloomily all around,
Oh dear! Oh dear!
Waste and rubbish littered the ground,
The land was polluted, the rivers all dry,
with their habitats ruined the creatures would die.
So the kids decided to build an ark
To save all their animal friends.
The children are concerned about the impact of humans on the environment and the challenges this poses for animals displaced or threatened by humans and their activities. So they build an ark, and load it with as many endangered Australian animals as they can. They set them off to sea and then spend their time cleaning up and repairing the land. Eventually they deem it safe to bring the animals home again. The text is set to the rhythm of 'The Ants Go Marching' and illustrations are presented on coloured pages as if looking through a telescope, with the action spilling beyond the edges of the circle. Images are a combination of painting and collage. Final pages include images from the NLA collections and information about the animals featured.
NLA are producing a number of books for children which use images from their collections. 'The Rescue Ark' has a clear conservation theme, and suggests that children can play a role in addressing/redressing environmental impacts on Australian fauna. It also introduces young readers to the Library's collections. There is ample opportunity for conversation, at home and in the classroom about Australian animals, habitat destruction and pollution, and the ability for each and all to effect their surroundings. Recommended for early- to mid-primary schoolers.

The Last Dance, by Sally Morgan
Hidden by autumn leaves
He sleeps
And dreams of his last dance.
Everyone needs a home, but for some Australian animals, those homes are disappearing, under threat by human actions. If their habitats are destroyed, these animals may die out too. The Last Dance addresses this subject in a form which is both honest and beautiful.
Each spread presents one animal which is threatened, names it and in a three lined verse highlights its plight. There is no wordy discussion or analysis – the text names the perils faced by each new animal, using a single evocative image to highlight that peril – the corroboree frog (above text) dreaming his last dance, the numbat fearful of foxes and the dugong escaping fishermen. Back of book notes, in a double page spread, elaborate a little more, but the message is clear – these animals are endangered, and its is only humans who can do something about the problem.
Illustrations are similalry evocative, filling each spread with colour and detail, again focusiing on the animal's plight. A central image spans the spread, and a border frames the page with four additional images of the animal in focus marking each corner, looking in to the central image.
The subject matter here is confronting because it is important, but the use of poetic text and beautiful illustrations makes it palatable, inviting discussion. What an excellent way to introduce young readers to this important subject matter and, hopefully, inspire them to action.

Tanglewood, by Margaret Wild & Vivienne Goodman
'What is family?' asked Tanglewood.
'Family is love and friendship. Family is everything.'
Tanglewood is the only tree on a tiny island, and she is lonely. She calls to the dolphins, the seals and the birds to come and play with her, but they don't, and Tanglewood thinks she might die of loneliness. Then, in the midst of a storm, a seagull falls into her branches, and Tanglewood shelters her. When Seagull leaves, to return to her family, Tanglewood is even more alone, having known the feeling of company, but she stays strong, because one day Seagull will return. When that day comes, Tanglewood gets a delightful surprise – not one seagull, but a whole flock, bearing the gift of life in the form of seeds.
Tanglewood is a breathtaking collaboration. Margaret Wild's text is powerful, syaing enough but never too much and moving like a gentle stream from page to page. Read aloud, the words entrance. The illustrations are a mix of sizes, form double page spreads, to multiple panels on a page, as well as single panels and horizontal panels spanning the middle of spreads with text above and below. The might of the sea, the sparsity of the lonely island and the beauty of the gulls are all captured.
This is a charming, wrenching, gorgeous story.

Breaking: Tiger Woods Makes Shocking Announcement To The World
Tiger Woods made a shocking announcement late Friday when he told media sources that he had surgery to repair his back. He will be out of action for at least six months and has set a return date for "early 2016."
The 14-time major champion underwent the same procedure that wiped out his 2014 season and almost threatened his golf career. In a Friday evening announcement, the news came as an unexpected bomb on the golf world, which has seen TV ratings surge this year with the likes of Woods, Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day in action together.
Woods went under the knife sometime last week for microdiscectomy surgery. He had the same surgery in Spring 2014 that forced him out of the Masters for the first time in his 20-year pro career.
Woods' back problems started in September 2014 at The Barclays when – during the final round – he crumbled to the floor in pain.
WHAT TIGER SAID
"This is certainly disappointing, but I'm a fighter. I've been told I can make a full recovery, and I have no doubt that I will. I'd like to send my regrets to Frys and all those associated with the America's Golf Cup. Those were two events I was really looking forward to playing. I was ready to start the 2015-16 PGA TOUR season at Frys, and I was excited to join my good friend Matt [Kuchar] in Mexico City.
I will be attending my foundation-hosted Hero World Challenge but won't be able to play. I appreciate everything that Hero does for the Tiger Woods Foundation, and I have a great personal relationship with Mr. Munjal [vice chairman and CEO of Hero MotoCorp]. I look forward to being there to support my event.
I appreciate the fans' concern and support. This is unfortunate, but these things happen. I've been injured before and played again. It won't be any different this time."


La Costa Canyon's road to the MaxPreps Holiday Classic American Division championship game has been anything but comfortable. The Mavericks beat St. Joseph Notre Dame (Alameda) 57-55 in the semifinals Tuesday night on their home court – winning their three games in the tournament by a combined six points.
After La Costa Canyon led by seven at the end of the first quarter, both teams played very evenly in a back-and-forth game. For the first time in the tournament, the 6'10" Kramer played against someone his own size in the paint, St. Joseph Notre Dame 6'10" center Brendan Keane.
Both Kramer and Keane found themselves in foul trouble in the second half. The Pilots center picked up his fourth foul with 3:02 to play in the third quarter, while Kramer picked up his fourth with 6:02 to play. Both bigs saw limited action in crunch time as a result.
"It was very frustrating, but my replacement Erik Magnuson played good, so I wasn't worried," Kramer said.
With the Mavericks ahead by one with 1:30 left in the game, guard James McCann nailed a three-pointer from the wing that put La Costa Canyon up 57-53. A turnaround shot by Pilots guard Dominic Lippi at the buzzer fell short as the Mavericks held on for the win.
Four La Costa Canyon players finished in double figures, led by forward Matt Shrigley, who scored a game-high 14 points. Kramer's matchup with Keane was a push, as both ended up with 12 points.
With the win, La Costa Canyon (12-0) plays Los Osos (Rancho Cucamonga) (10-2) in the American Division championship Wednesday at 5:05 p.m. at Torrey Pines. The Grizzlies advanced to the title game by beating Foothills Christian 81-77 in overtime in the first semifinal.
"I'm asking myself how we lost this game. I don't know," said Knights head coach Brad Leaf.
Foothills Christian led by as much as 19 in the second half before Los Osos mounted their comeback. The Grizzlies outscored the Knights 23-10 in the fourth quarter, and Foothills Christian guard Troy Leaf missed an off-balance shot at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.
Los Osos scored the first four points of the extra period and was able to hold off Foothills Christian. The Knights (12-2) lost despite 30 points from guard Troy Leaf and 27 from forward Jvonte Brooks.
Down the stretch, center Khalil Kelley paced Los Osos. Foothills Christian had no answer for Kelly who finished with a team-high 26 points.
Foothills Christian plays St. Joseph Notre Dame (9-3) in the American Division third place game at 5:30 p.m. at La Costa Canyon. The Knights' only losses this season have come in the MaxPreps Holiday Classic.

Q: How do you fully initialize an embedded ruby VM in a C++ application? I am embedding ruby version 2.1.2 into a wxWidgets application, compiling on - and targeting - Windows. Linking to msvcrt-ruby210.dll and calling
ruby_sysinit(&argc, &argv);
RUBY_INIT_STACK;
ruby_init();
ruby_init_loadpath();

is enough to get me running with the basic VM and built-in classes. However, I am also packaging the standard library with my application, as I intend use facilities like FileUtils and Resolv from my application. I can require and use some of the libraries just fine, yet when I require 'resolv' I get an error reporting unitialized constant Encoding::UTF_16LE. After some googling and digging around in ruby.c, I've found I can fix this with the following initialization code...
ruby_sysinit(&argc, &argv);
RUBY_INIT_STACK;
ruby_init();
ruby_init_loadpath();
rb_enc_find_index("encdb");

Which clears the previous error, but leaves me with code converter not found (UTF-8 to UTF-16LE). This is fixed by adding an additional line rb_eval_string("require 'enc/trans/transdb'");, but, it is not my desire to replicate, piece by piece, the initialization code performed by ruby's ruby_options function, so I tried to use it directly, as in ruby's own main function...
int my_argc = 2;
char* arg1 = "myapp.exe";
char* arg2 = "scripts/bootstrap.rb";
char** my_argv = new char*[2]{arg1, arg2};

ruby_sysinit(&my_argc, &my_argv);
RUBY_INIT_STACK;
ruby_init();
ruby_run_node(ruby_options(my_argc, my_argv));

This, however, is only effective if I run my application with myapp.exe scripts/bootstrap.rb. It seems that ruby is ignoring my parameters to ruby_options and using the system supplied values of argc & argv (Apparently this has been the case for some time on Windows). This is bothersome, as I would like my application to run with a simple double-click of the executable, and not require users to supply command line arguments indicating the location of the "bootstrap" script.
So, is there a convenient API or some incantation I can use to initialize ruby in this case without requiring the command line parameters?
Note that if at all possible, I would like to avoid having to package my application as a ruby extension.

A: I noticed this code in pepper_main.c, and suspected this was doing about what I wanted.
static VALUE
init_libraries_internal(VALUE unused)
{
  extern void Init_enc();
  extern void Init_ext();

  init_loadpath();
  Init_enc();
  Init_ext();
  return Qnil;
}

As far as I can figure, I don't need Init_ext() since I'm using the ruby dll, and I'm not statically compiling my extensions. So, I tried just using Init_enc. While this symbol is present in the msvcrt-ruby210.dll, it's not present in the import library (msvcrt-ruby210.dll.a) so I wasn't able to link it with my application. Searching through the symbols in the .so files under the lib\ruby\2.1.0\i386-mingw32\enc directory, I was able to find Init_encdb in encdb.so, and Init_transdb in trans/transdb.so. So, I've required these libs and my bootstrap script as shown below:
ruby_sysinit(&argc, &argv);
RUBY_INIT_STACK;
ruby_init();
ruby_init_loadpath();
rb_require("enc/encdb");
rb_require("enc/trans/transdb");
rb_require("./scripts/bootstrap");

This enables me to use the FileUtils and Resolv libraries without error. While I can't be sure I won't run into more issues like this (I've yet to try requiring an actual gem...) this is a solution I'm more comfortable with. If I can resolve any forthcoming issues with a simple require, as opposed to digging around to find obscure commands like rb_enc_find_index("encdb"); to sprinkle into my initialization code, then that seems reasonable.
I am still interested in any simpler alternatives, and will hold off on accepting this as the answer - for a while, at least - until I receive some confirmation that I'm going about this correctly.


Oldham Community Leisure (OCL) has been highlighted as a community business that's leading the way by breaking down barriers to healthy lifestyles in the 2019 Parliamentary Review.
The Review, an independent political journal published annually, allows private and public sector organisations to share and promote their best practice, with the goal of raising standards. With a readership upward of 500,000, The Review is an essential read for policy makers, business executives, politicians and stakeholders.
The 2019 Review article focuses on how OCL has tackled Oldham's health challenges and raised participation levels by offering community-based activities and health intervention programmes, such as the Falls Prevention and Exercise Referral services. It highlights how, as a charitable organisation, OCL reinvests every penny of surpluses back into the local community, allowing it to offer, for example, free adult lessons for non-swimmers at each of its pools.
OCL Chief Executive and Chair of Community Leisure UK, Stuart Lockwood, says: "We are honoured to feature in this year's Parliamentary Review, showcasing our ongoing commitment to improving health and wellbeing in and around Oldham. Our article demonstrates strategies we've successfully employed to make sure Oldham residents, particularly in more deprived areas, have access to the tools to build healthier lifestyles. Last year, for example, we donated £2,000 towards the set-up costs of Junior Parkrun in Oldham. Around 40 runners now take part and this number grows weekly.
In an exclusive foreword to The Review, the prime minister Theresa May focuses on four 'grand challenges', which include leading in changes to the future of mobility and meeting the challenges of our ageing society. OCL is among many of the UK's foremost leisure organisations demonstrating their commitment to tackling these challenges in the Review.

A HAYWOOD STREET REFLECTION BY: BROOK
Earlier this week, we announced the passing of Nancy Bennett (pictured above) — a beloved Haywood Street Friend, Companion, and congregant. Nancy served on the Haywood Street Board of Directors and most recently on the Board for the Haywood Street Community Development.
While we have been sitting with our grief, many of us have also been sharing stories and sweet memories of our dear friend.
I took this photo of Nancy last year after interviewing her about Haywood Street's proposal for deeply affordable housing. She was thrilled to be an integral part of the planning process. She was also incredibly hopeful that she'd be one of the first residents.
Nancy and I bonded over our love of cities and regularly dreamed up our ideal New York City getaway. Hers included a night at the Waldorf Astoria.
But while Nancy could tell you stories of five-course meals and turndown service, she could also tell you stories of living on the streets; of seeking shelter not inside of a 5-star hotel, but rather in the stairwells and back alley doorways.
Nancy brought her experience of homelessness to Haywood Street and we will forever be better because of her shared insights and compassion for those who had walked a similar path. A couple of years ago, High Five Coffee wanted to host a drive for Haywood Street Friends and asked what items should be collected. I decided to check in with Nancy before getting back to them, assuming she would confirm my assumption that toothpaste and basic toiletries would be best. She confirmed that those things would be great, but kindly suggested that we also ask for small vials of perfume ("Like those ones you get as a sample from Clinique", she said.), nail polish, and make-up. She told me that when she first realized that she was going to be homeless, she threw away everything "unnecessary", but that the desire to feel dignified and beautiful did not go away when her housing went away. She completely changed this donation drive — from one based on the basics to one built on "unnecessary abundance". And that is just so Haywood Street.
A few months ago, Nancy and I had a chance to catch up in the parking lot. She explained how in many ways the year had been challenging. She had experienced job loss and more devastating than that, the loss of her mother.
But in the midst of Nancy's hardships, she had also managed to combine her stimulus check with a few hundred dollars she had saved and had invested in a car; a luxury she had not had in many years. Almost every weekend she was escaping the confines of the city bus line and delighting in evening drives up the Blue Ridge Parkway and hikes through the mountains. I remember her looking at me with those piercing blue eyes and saying, unabashedly, in her distinct and raspy voice, "This has been one of my best years yet."
At this time, we hold Nancy's husband, daughter, friends and family in prayer. Her ashes will be spread in the Haywood Street Garden and we will honor her life by remaining steadfast in our commitment to the margins.


Since releasing her third album 'Drei' on her own label in 2013, the Berlin-based Anglo-Czech musician EMIKA has been a fine example to those who aspire to be a truly modern independent artist.
Following her well-received crowdfunded 2017 classical symphony 'Melanfonie' with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, EMIKA returns to electronics with her best album to date entitled 'Falling In Love With Sadness' .
Released on World Mental Health Day, the record is a concept album of sorts and a portion of proceeds will go to a UK-based mental health charity.
For the lady born Ema Jolly, it has been a journey of reflection on generations of family sadness as her most personal work to date. While this might be EMIKA's most overtly synthpop adventure, 'Falling In Love With Sadness' is deep and thoughtful, with enticing melodic textures that possess an inherent gloominess that makes for great art.
Co-produced with Robert Witschakowski of German dance experimentalists THE EXALTICS and also featuring guitarist Chris Lockington, it utilises more straightforward rhythms with less emphasis on the threes which characterised 'Dva' and 'Drei' .
'Wash It All Away' with an atmospheric air and some subtle guitar embellishment, it provides an opener with an easing cathartic effect. But 'Could This Be' launches the album into a pulsing Eurocentric stomp, a little bit like a modern electro take on 'Gimme Some Lovin' with EMIKA's hushed vocal tones offset by sudden bursts of live percussion and spy drama inflections.
With the excellent first single from the album 'Close' laced in chromatic melancholy over a sparse and chilling backbone, 'Run' takes that template further with layers staccato voice manipulations over a deeply European electronic backdrop.
The pacey 'Promises' makes the most of EMIKA's lower and higher vocal registers, providing an eerie cascading harmonic with some rumbling dubby tension and booming stabs driving Eastwards. There's a glorious urgency about it, a solemn synthphony with spine tingling qualities.
Punctuated by white noise and processed guitar, 'Falling (Reprise)' sets the scene for 'Falling In Love With Sadness' featuring THE EXALTICS. A brilliant uptempo piece embroiled in haunting tension, this is avant pop at its best, hypnotically breathy and weirdly danceable, sweeping towards a solemn conclusion in a sea of voices.
Beginning in a bare bass laden manner, 'Escape' sees EMIKA saying she will "make this real" and picks up the rhythm, exploring New York electro but in an ultimately noirish manner.
But to close, EMIKA pulls a magnificent surprise with 'Eternity'; while the bass sequence has a very electro body core, it is without the shouting and the Teutonic metal bashing. Although maintaining a frantic metronomic rigidity that is as good as clockwork, the forlorn manner of Miss Jolly's delivery and the accompanying piano chords capture a beautiful hue which combine for an unusual but striking contrast.
The best electronic pop album of 2018? 'Falling In Love With Sadness' is without doubt one of the contenders and should belong on all turntables, digital devices, tape recorders and even CD players.

Midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle, when the Sun remains visible at the local midnight. When midnight sun is seen in the Arctic, the Sun appears to move from left to right, but in Antarctica the equivalent apparent motion is from right to left.  This occurs at latitudes from 65°44' to 90° north or south, and does not stop exactly at the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle, due to refraction.

The opposite phenomenon, polar night, occurs in winter, when the Sun stays below the horizon throughout the day.

Details

Around the summer solstice (approximately 21 June in the Northern Hemisphere and 21 December in the Southern Hemisphere), in certain areas the Sun does not set below the horizon within a 24-hour period.

Geography

Because there are no permanent human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle, apart from research stations, the countries and territories whose populations experience midnight sun are limited to those crossed by the Arctic Circle: Canada (Yukon, Nunavut, and Northwest Territories), United States (state of Alaska); the nations of Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Greenland, and Russia.

The largest city of the world north of the Arctic Circle, Murmansk (Russia), experiences midnight sun from 22 May to 22 July (62 days).

A quarter of Finland's territory lies north of the Arctic Circle, and at the country's northernmost point the Sun does not set at all for 72 days during summer.

In Svalbard, Norway, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, there is no sunset from approximately 19 April to 23 August. The extreme sites are the poles, where the Sun can be continuously visible for half the year. The North Pole has midnight sun for 6 months from late March to late September.

Polar circle proximity
Because of atmospheric refraction, and also because the Sun is a disc rather than a point in the sky, midnight sun may be experienced at latitudes slightly south of the Arctic Circle or north of the Antarctic Circle, though not exceeding one degree (depending on local conditions). For example, Iceland is known for its midnight sun, even though most of it (Grímsey is the exception) is slightly south of the Arctic Circle. For the same reasons, the period of sunlight at the poles is slightly longer than six months. Even the northern extremities of the United Kingdom (and places at similar latitudes, such as Saint Petersburg) experience twilight throughout the night in the northern sky at around the summer solstice.

Places sufficiently close to the poles, such as Alert, Nunavut, experience times where it does not get entirely dark at night yet the Sun does not rise either, combining effects of midnight sun and polar night, for example where during the "day" it reaches civil twilight and at "night" only reaches astronomical twilight.

White nights

Locations where the Sun remains less than 6 (or 7) degrees below the horizonbetween 60° 34' (or 59° 34') latitude and the polar circleexperience midnight civil twilight instead of midnight sun, so that daytime activities, such as reading, are still possible without artificial light on a clear night. This happens in both Northern Hemisphere summer solstice and Southern Hemisphere summer solstice. The lowest latitude to experience midnight sun without golden hour is 72°33′43″ North or South.

White Nights have become a common symbol of Saint Petersburg, Russia, where they occur from about 11 June to 1 July, and the last 10 days of June are celebrated with cultural events known as the White Nights Festival.

The northernmost tip of Antarctica also experiences white nights near the Southern Hemisphere summer solstice.

Explanation

Since the axial tilt of Earth is considerable (23 degrees, 26 minutes, 21.41196 seconds), at high latitudes the Sun does not set in summer; rather, it remains continuously visible for one day during the summer solstice at the polar circle, for several weeks only  closer to the pole, and for six months at the pole. At extreme latitudes, midnight sun is usually referred to as polar day.

At the poles themselves, the Sun rises and sets only once each year on the equinox. During the six months that the Sun is above the horizon, it spends the days appearing to continuously move in circles around the observer, gradually spiralling higher and reaching its highest circuit of the sky at the summer solstice.

Time zones and daylight saving time

The term "midnight sun" refers to the consecutive 24-hour periods of sunlight experienced in the north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle. Other phenomena are sometimes referred to as "midnight sun", but they are caused by time zones and the observance of daylight saving time. For instance, in Fairbanks, Alaska, which is south of the Arctic Circle, the Sun sets at 12:47a.m. at the summer solstice. This is because Fairbanks is 51 minutes ahead of its idealized time zone (as most of the state is in one time zone) and Alaska observes daylight saving time. (Fairbanks is at about 147.72 degrees west, corresponding to UTC−9 hours 51 minutes, and is on UTC−9 in winter.) This means that solar culmination occurs at about 12:51p.m. instead of at 12 noon.

If a precise moment for the genuine "midnight sun" is required, the observer's longitude, the local civil time and the equation of time must be taken into account. The moment of the Sun's closest approach to the horizon coincides with its passing due north at the observer's position, which occurs only approximately at midnight in general. Each degree of longitude east of the Greenwich meridian makes the vital moment exactly 4 minutes earlier than midnight as shown on the clock, while each hour that the local civil time is ahead of coordinated universal time (UTC, also known as GMT) makes the moment an hour later. These two effects must be added. Furthermore, the equation of time (which depends on the date) must be added: a positive value on a given date means that the Sun is running slightly ahead of its average position, so the value must be subtracted.

As an example, at the North Cape of Norway at midnight on June 21/22, the longitude of 25.9 degrees east makes the moment 103.2 minutes earlier by clock time; but the local time, 2 hours ahead of GMT in the summer, makes it 120 minutes later by clock time. The equation of time at that date is -2.0 minutes. Therefore, the Sun's lowest elevation occurs 120 - 103.2 + 2.0 minutes after midnight: at 00.19 Central European Summer time. On other nearby dates the only thing different is the equation of time, so this remains a reasonable estimate for a considerable period. The Sun's altitude remains within half a degree of the minimum of about 5 degrees for about 45 minutes either side of this time.

When it rotates on its own axis, it sometimes moves closer to the Sun.  During this period of Earth's rotation from May to July, Earth tilts at an angle of 23.5 degrees above its own axis in its orbit. This causes the part of Norway located in the Arctic region at the North Pole of Earth to move very close to the Sun and during this time the length of the day increases. It can be said that it almost never subsides. Night falls in Norway's Hammerfest at this particular time of year.

Duration
The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the closer one goes towards either pole. Although approximately defined by the polar circles, in practice midnight sun can be seen as much as 90 km (55 miles) outside the polar circle, as described below, and the exact latitudes of the farthest reaches of midnight sun depend on topography and vary slightly year-to-year.

Even though at the Arctic Circle the center of the Sun is, per definition and without refraction by the atmosphere, only visible during one summer night, some part of midnight sun is visible at the Arctic Circle from approximately 12 June until 1 July. This period extends as one travels north: At Cape Nordkinn, Norway, the northernmost point of Continental Europe, midnight sun lasts approximately from 14 May to 29 July. On the Svalbard archipelago farther north, it lasts from 20 April to 22 August.

Southern and Northern poles
Also, the periods of polar day and polar night are unequal in both polar regions because the Earth is at perihelion in early January and at aphelion in early July.  As a result, the polar day is longer than the polar night in the Northern Hemisphere (at Utqiagvik, Alaska, for example, polar day lasts 84 days, while polar night lasts only 68 days), while in the Southern Hemisphere, the situation is the reverse — the polar night is longer than the polar day.

Observers at heights appreciably above sea level can experience extended periods of midnight sun as a result of the "dip" of the horizon viewed from altitude.

Valley hospice veterans honored during Friday ceremony
By: John Patrick
Over 150 Valley veterans residing in nursing homes will be honored with a special pinning ceremony coordinated by ROTC cadets and Quality Hospice.
Don Volk and Ronald "Rex" Mullenix are just two of the veterans being honored on Friday. Between the two of them, over 50 years of service in the U.S. Air Force both starting in World War II.
It all began for Mullinex when he was a sophomore in high school and he first heard the news about Pearl Harbor.
"We were out for a Sunday drive my family and I when that happened and I thought, man I'd like to get into that," said Mullinex.
Two days after his high school graduation he was in basic training eventually becoming a gunner on a B-26. He flew in 40 missions bombing bridges and taking out enemy planes.
Volk spent his time in WWII dropping paratroopers behind enemy lines.
"On our squad, we had nine airplanes in the air and four of them got back, the rest were shot down," recalled Volk.
Both lived incredible lives and these are just two of the stories waiting to be told from the half a million veterans left that fought in World War Two.
For Volk, it's ceremonies like the one held today that give our veterans from The Greatest Generation the opportunity to share these stories with the next.
"I think they're great and they learn something, how to take orders how to give orders and things like that and it always helps build up yourself," said Volk.
ROTC cadets and Quality Hospice will continue to honor veterans from WWII, Korea, and Vietnam by traveling to different nursing homes across the Valley through next week.

Sotto wants to exempt gov't teachers from income taxes
Senate President Vicente Sotto III is now pushing to exempt public school teachers from paying income taxes as a gift to their sacrifices.
Sotto has filed Senate Bill No. 241, otherwise known as an Act Providing Tax Relief to Public School Teachers by Exempting them from Income Taxation, Amending for the Purpose Sections 22 and 24A of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, As Amended, which seeks to exempt Teachers I, II and III from paying income tax.
Sotto said he filed the bill because he wanted to improve the economic status of the teachers, who upon entry-level, receive only a little higher than the minimum wage.
By lifting the burden of paying the income tax, Sotto said, teachers are given what they rightfully deserve. He said the measure is a gift for the teachers' unconditional love and sacrifice in molding the youth to be the future's leaders.
Likewise, he said, holiday pay, overtime pay, night shift differential and hazard pay received by Teachers I, II and III will not be taxable.
"This bill is in consonance with the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers which aimed to promote and improve the social and economic status of public school teachers, their living and working conditions, their terms of employment and career prospects," Sotto said.
Sotto said senators of the 18th Congress will work to increase the salary of public school teachers so they can be at par with their counterparts from neighboring Asian countries.
"We recognize the inevitable fact that our teachers play a crucial and significant role. The future of our youth and nation lies in the nurturing hands of our teachers. We consider them as our modern-day heroes," Sotto said. (via Senate)

Осип Осипович (Йосип Йосипович) Первольф (, Чімеліце поблизу м. Пісек, Богемія у складі Австрійської імперії (нині Південночеського краю, Чехії) — , Варшава) — учений-славіст, слов'янознавець, філолог, етнограф, педагог. Доктор слов'янської філології (з 1876), професор.

Біографія
Чех за походженням. Народився в родині управителя маєтком. Після закінчення гімназії в 1858 році вступив на філософський факультет Карлового університету в Празі. Слухав лекції відомих професорів: істориків  і К. Гефлера, лінгвіста М. Гаттали, філолога В. Ганка.

Тоді ж почав займатися літературною діяльністю. Вже в своїх перших журнальних роботах Первольф виявив увагу до Росії: про походження Русі, про козаків, публікував статті з історії Малоросії.
У 1861 році в журналі «Образи живота» помістив статтю «Про поширення німецької культури серед винищених полабських слов'ян»
У 1863 році закінчив Празький університет і став співробітником бібліотеки Національного чеського музею.

Брав участь у редагуванні «Fontes rerum Bohemicarum» (Джерела з історії Богемії). Служба у Чеському музеї зближувала його з російськими вченими, які відвідували Прагу, і зміцнювала його інтерес до Росії. Познайомився з творами С. М. Соловйова, М. Костомарова, К. Аксакова, Б. Чичеріна та ін.

У статті «Snemy v nekdyzi Rusi» (1867—1868) ознайомив співвітчизників з такими явищами давньоруського суспільного життя як: віче, земський собор і дума, з козацькими колами і радами. У «Vývin idey vzájemnosti u nàrodov slovanských» (1867) зобразив історичні прояви взаємності в політичному і культурному житті слов'янства і рекомендував цю взаємність укріплювати та продовжувати.

Ідея слов'янської взаємності стала панівною ідеєю всієї подальшої наукової діяльності Первольфа. Його «Slované, historický nastin» (1869) — єдина спільна історія слов'янства, перший і незамінний досвід вивчення загальних історичних шляхів розвитку слов'янства (за участю Вопеля і К. Ербена).

У 1871 році за пропозицією ректора Варшавського університету П. О. Лавровського зайняв кафедру слов'янської філології і читав лекції про слов'янські старожитності, характеристику слов'янських говірок, історичну етнографію. У тому ж році став підданим Російської імперії.

В 1874 році за дисертацію «Про слов'янську взаємність» (в «Журналі Міністерства народної освіти») здобув у Санкт-Петербурзькому університеті ступінь магістра, а в 1876 році-ступінь доктора Варшавського університету за книгу «Германізація балтійських слов'ян», в якій висвітлив питання слов'янської колонізації полабсько-балтійських земель, описав залабських і люнебурзьких слов'ян, слов'янські племена брижан, стодорян,
ратарів, укрян, вагрів, полабів, бодричів, лютичів, поморян та інших, провів дослідження слідів слов'янства в нижньонімецькому народонаселенні.

У 1886 році вийшов I-й том його праці «Слов'яни, їх взаємні відносини і зв'язки» (нарис політичної історії слов'ян за родами і побут їх), у 1888 році — II том (слов'янська ідея в літературі слов'ян до XVIII століття), в 1890 році — 1 частина («Західні слов'яни») III тому (слов'янська ідея в політичних і культурних зносинах слов'ян до XVIII ст.; в рукописі, через смерть автора, залишилася глава про польсько-російські відносини). IV том — «Відродження слов'ян» — залишився незакінченим. Вся ця праця дає велику кількість історичних фактів.

Питанням про слов'янські взаємини присвячено багато статей Первольфа, зокрема:

 «Чехи і росіяни» («Бесіда», 1872),
 «Чехи і поляки в XV і XVI ст.» (1873 і 1880),
 «Олександр I і слов'яни» («Давня і нова Росія», 1879),
 «Слов'янський рух у поляків 1800—1830 рр.» (1879),
 «Слов'янська ідея в Росії» (1879),
 «Поляки й русини» (1891).

З робіт Первольфа, присвячених слов'янським старожитностям, основними вважаються:

 «Варяги-Русь і балтійські слов'яни» (в якій заперечує балтійську теорію С. Гедеонова й І. Забєліна; 1877),
 «Slavische Völkernamen» (1884),
 «Polen, Liachen, Wanden» (1884),
 «Staroslovahcke řady a obyčeje» (1884)
 «Словенська мова та її долі у слов'янських народів» («Мефодіївський збірник», Варшава, 1885).

Багато робіт вченого присвячені східним і австро-слов'янським питанням:

 «Uhry a východni otazka» (1869; перероблено в «Мадяри і східне питання» (1877),
 «Східне питання — слов'янське питання» (1878),
 «Die Slavischorientalische Frage» (1878),
 «Слов'янський рух в Австрії 1800—1848 рр.» (1879),
 «Слов'янський рух 1848 р. і австрійські слов'яни 1848—1849 рр.» (1879) тощо.
