Basic Cave Diving: A Blueprint for Survival
It would be interesting to know what, if anything, Reinhold Messner would have to say about the death of Sheck Exley. Exley, a 45-year-old mathematics teacher from Live Oak, Florida, died on April 6, 1994 as he attempted to descend to a depth of over 1,000 feet in a cave in Mexico.
It is tempting to draw comparisons between the two men, Exley the cave div er and Messner the mountain climber. Each had a well-earned reputation for being the best in their chosen endeavor. Over the years both men saw contemporaries perish; early in their careers, both watched their own brothers die in front of them, Messner's high in the mountains and Exley's deep in the clear waters of Wakulla spring. Today Messner, although very much alive, suffers the effects of oxygen deprivation from breathing the rarified air of the upper atmosphere; while Exley is dead from breathing the thick air of great depth.
Open the books to the longest and deepest underwater caves in America, and Exley's name will inevitably appear. While no one would argue that cave diving is without risk, Exley demonstrated that it could be done safely if practiced with knowledge, care, and skill. He literally "wrote the book" (several books, actually) on safe cave diving practices. He was the first in the world to log over 1,000 cave dives. In over 29 years of cave diving, he made over 4,000.
Like Reinhold Messner, Exley seemed to have a sixth sense, an uncanny ability to know when to push on and when to retreat. Like Messner, there were times when he seemed almost invulnerable, too smart to be caught in the traps that killed others.
Sheck Exley particularly excelled at pushing back the traditional cave diving barriers of distance and depth. At Cathedral Canyon Spring in Florida, a site which had such potential that Exley bought the property and moved there, he achieved a world record penetration of over two underwater miles during an eleven and a half hour solo dive in 1990.
Exley was equally famous for his expertise at deep diving, an even more technical and formidable challenge. As depth increases, divers must breath air at ever higher pressures. Under pressure, the nitrogen in ordinary air causes narcosis, a kind of drunkenness that increases with depth. Even life-giving oxygen becomes poisonous at depths greater than 200 feet (although Exley, one of the few to dive much below 400 feet on compressed air and live through the experience, had a demonstrated tolerance to it).
The most practical solution for those who must dive at great depth is the use of special gas mixes such as Trimix, which lower the oxygen and nitrogen content while substituting another inert gas such as helium. While early experiments using mixed gases in the U.S. had tragic outcomes (Exley's friend Louis Holtzendorf died on one such dive), Exley's deep dives at a Mexican spring known as Nacimiento del Rio Mante soon proved the worth of Trimix for cave diving. Not only could these mixtures allow a diver to go deeper without succumbing to narcosis or oxygen poisoning, but they also reduced the amount of time spent at decompression stops during the ascent.
Nacimiento del Río Mante.
Beginning in 1979, Exley methodically worked his way deeper into the cave at Rio Mante. In March of 1989, using Trimix, he descended to a world record depth of 881 feet, returning to the surface after 14 hours of decompression with no harmful effects. Only commercial divers, working from diving bells which supplied their breathing mixture through umbilical tubes and provided shelter for days or weeks of decompression (a level of support not possible in a cave) had ever been deeper.
In later years Exley and his team continued their explorations of deep caves and springs. In August of 1993, Exley reached 863 feet when he touched bottom in Bushmansgat (Bushman's Hole), South Africa, but not before experiencing a serious case of high-pressure nervous syndrome (HPNS) that included blurred vision and intense, uncontrollable tremors. Soon after, he joined Jim Bowden in focusing his efforts on a cave known as Zacatón (aka Pit 6350), north of Tampico, Mexico that was known to be at least 1,080 feet deep. In September, Bowden dove to 774 feet in the dark, warm waters of the spring. Ann Kristovich, the team physician, descended to 541 feet, a new depth record for women (the old record had been set at Rio Mante by Mary Ellen Eckoff, Exley's wife). Following the September expedition, the team announced that despite over 30 dives at great depth, they had encountered no pressure-related problems. Dives of over 1,000 feet, it was said, were planned for the future. The number has a nice ring to it. A thousand feet would be a milestone, a necessary one if anyone was ever to reach the bottom of Zacatón. By the time Exley returned to Mexico in the spring of 1994, the number 1,000 must have been etched into his brain.
El Zacatón, one of the deepest water-filled sinkholes in the world.
On April 6, 1994, Jim Bowden and Sheck Exley entered the water at Zacatón. After months of meticulous calculations and planning, their descent would be over within a few moments. While it's been a tradition in cave diving for these kinds of attempts to be made solo, Bowden and Exley dove simultaneously, following separate weighted lines 25 to 30 feet apart but still essentially alone in the murky water. There was little hope of even seeing one another; they may as well have been diving solo. In 11 minutes, Bowden had reached 898 feet but was lower than expected on gas reserves and turned upward to begin over nine hours of decompression. Kristovich, acting as a support diver, was hanging in the water high above, watching the two streams of bubbles. Eighteen minutes into the dive, she saw that the bubbles coming from Exley had stopped. Exley's wife Mary Ellen descended to 279 feet, where a ledge might have blocked the flow of bubbles. There were none.
What happened to Sheck Exley in those 18 minutes? The physiology of making such a rapid descent to great depth is not yet completely known or understood, and when solo divers perish they typically leave few or no clues. Following the accident, it was assumed that Exley's body would never be recovered. Those who knew him well were certain of one thing: whatever happened, Exley did not panic. More than once in the past Exley had jeopardized his own life to save another, his steel nerves prevailing over the most nightmarish of conditions. "He was the ultimate cool," Bowden told a Texas newspaper.
But Sheck Exley still had one more surprise for the world. When the guideline was pulled from the cave three days after the dive, his body came up with it, the line wrapped intentionally around his arms and the valves of his side-mounted tanks.
Later, the members of the team published a detailed analysis that concluded Exley probably fell victim to "HPNS, oxygen induced incapacitation or a convulsion" or some combination of those events (see www.iucrr.org/aa_misc.htm). Both of Exley's primary tanks were exhausted, as was one of his two side-mounted tanks (the other was untouched). The team conjectures that for unknown reasons Exley ran out of gas in his primaries and was forced to switch to the side-mount "travel mix" that was far less appropriate for that depth, making a bad situation worse. His dive computer showed a maximum depth of 879 feet; it's not clear if he was able to ascend past that point. With his bouyancy compensator fed by the empty main tanks, any ascent would require extra effort. At some point he wrapped the line around himself to stabilize his position but ultimately lost consciousness before he could deal with the situation. At similar depths in Bushmansgat he had reported HPNS tremors so intense that he had difficulty with even simple tasks such as operating the inflator. I imagine Exley hanging there trying to fight back the darkness until the side tank ran out–this could be just a minute or two at that depth–and by then he may have been too incapacitated to get another regulator into his mouth. As in most tragedies there was probably no single factor but simply a disastrous combination of things that not even Sheck Exley could overcome–but no one can really know for sure.
So how do you mourn a man who died pushing the limits of an endeavor most people consider foolhardy at best? What can you say about a person who knew the immensity of the risks and yet went anyway? "He died doing something he loved and did better than anyone else in the world," Bowden said later. Perhaps that's all that anyone can or should say. The Sheck Exleys and Reinhold Messners of this world weigh the risks, consider the consequences, and make their choices without asking for our consent or our pity.
Did Exley die in the mindless pursuit of a meaningless record, or was he a pioneer who was advancing our understanding of diving at great depths? I'd like to think Reinhold Messner would be inclined to say the latter. One of Exley's friends described him as a man who was always trying to see around the next corner. He dove to ever-greater depths because the caves he explored demanded it, because something that most of us will never quite understand compelled him forward.
There are so few unexplored places left in the world, so few true explorers!
Addendum, July 2005
I read this week with fascination and dread a story in the August 2005 issue of Outside magazine about the death of Australian Dave Shaw in Bushmansgat, South Africa. Years earlier, Exley had been to over 880 feet deep in the cave, having a close call with helum-induced tremors. In October 2004 Shaw descended to 886 in the huge underwater shaft using a rebreather and had discovered the body of Deon Dreyer, a diver who had blacked out and disappeared ten years previously. Shaw was determined to return and bring the body up, and in January 2005 he returned to do just that. Although he had just seven years of diving experience against Exley's decades, Shaw had calculated and planned in what seems to me a very Exley-like fashion. On the surface he assembled a strong team and placed a decompression chamber attended by a physician. Ropes hung ready to hoist a striken diver up from the water, with support divers and emergency gas supplies all the way down past 400 feet.
Shaw's plan was simple: descend to the body using the line he had previously tied off, slide it into a special body bag, attach the line, and surface after spending a maximum of five minutes on the bottom. Exactly what went wrong might still be a mystery, except that Shaw wore a video camera on his head that recorded his every movement. At these extreme depths, the smallest detail–even the wearing of the camera itself–could have deadly consequences. Watching the tape later, his friends concluded that Shaw simply let himself work a little bit too hard, get just a little bit out of breath, and that started a downward spiral that killed him.
From the Outside article by Tim Zimmerman:
"Still, Shaw keeps checking the time on his dive computer. After five and a half minutes on the bottom, he's aware enough to know he has to leave, but he doesn't get far. The video shows the bottom moving beneath him. Then Shaw's forward progress stops. His errant cave light has apparently snagged the cave line tied to Deon's tanks. Shaw knows he has caught something, and turns awkwardly. His breathing starts to sound desperate. He pulls at the cat's cradle of cave line, as if trying to sort it out. Every breath is now a sharp grunt. Shaw struggles to move again but is anchored by the weight of Deon's body. The shears are still in his hand, but he never cuts anything. The pace of his breathing keeps accelerating, and there is a tragic, gasping quality to it, so painful to listen to that Herbst and Shirley will no longer watch the video with sound. Twenty one minutes into the dive, the sounds finally start to fade. Dave Shaw, with carbon dioxide suffusing his lungs, is starting to pass out. He is dying. It's heartbreaking to watch. A minute later there is no movement."
The almost spooky end to the story is that four days later, after the emergency tanks had been recovered and the lines pulled, Shaw's body floated up from the darkness with Dreyer in tow, making good on his promise to bring him home.
Deep diving seems to hold a deathly fascination for many. Typical the victim is a newer diver, but not always: witness the bizarre descent into the madness of diving deep on simple compressed air that in 1997 killed a legend in diving: Rob Palmer.
A handful of technical divers continue to push the limits of deep diving, although perhaps appropriately, sophisticated robots became primary explorers at Zacatón. The late John Bennett was the first to break 1,000 feet on open-circuit scuba gear, but this and other dives were in the ocean, not in a freshwater cave. As Numo Gomes said in 1994, "Four divers in the world have undertaken dives below 200 meters (656 feet); one is dead, another is paralyzed from the waist down, and the other two suffered DCS during their respective deepest dives." A new depth record for open-circuit scuba was set in July 2005 by Pascal Bernabe, who reached 330 meters (1,082 feet) in the ocean off Corsica.

Sweet 16 Bound

Wake Forest 0, UCI 2
Facing the Atlantic Coast Conference champion Demon Deacons on Sunday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Irvine survived an absolute war.
The monumental 2-0 victory ties UCI with a 2005 Cal State Fullerton squad for the furthest NCAA Tournament advancement in Big West history (Sweet 16). Breaking the scoreless tie in the 12th minute, senior Tanya Taylor scored possibly the most impressive goal of her career.
"She cut inside, beat two players in the 18-yard box and bent one inside the top corner," head coach Scott Juniper said of Taylor's goal. "That's world-class finishing."
In the 70th minute, junior Coco Goodson took a pass from Taylor and booted it into the net.
"That goal let us breathe a little, but they were physical. It was a battle out there," Goodson said.
Six cards were handed out as the referees completely lost control of the game. Consistently inconsistent, the NCAA officials missed several foul calls on both sides.
"We managed the tempo of the game, which was difficult because of the way the momentum of the game was being interpreted by the officials," Juniper said.
In the 70th minute, freshman Zuri Walker was ejected for high-kicking, while attempting to progress the ball downfield. The situation disqualified Walker from the game and the upcoming Sweet 16 matchup.
Sophomore Mar Rodriguez experienced a physical battle with her defender. Both Rodriguez and her competitor tangled, throwing each other to the turf, resulting in a yellow card for Rodriguez in the 85th minute.
Admitting her frustration after the game, Rodriguez said with a smirk, "Obviously we had better attitudes and we worked harder."
"I'm really proud of the way the team responded playing one player down," Juniper said. "We were the aggressors still, with 10 players."
Freshman Zoya Farzaneh contributed to the physicality of the game, registering her first start of her career in the biggest of stages. Farzaneh replaced senior Nikki Forrest, who was still feeling the effects of a head-butting collision against ASU.
UCI expects Forrest to be back against Washington University, but Farzaneh may be called upon again, this time to take the place of Walker in the Sweet 16.
ASU 1, UCI 2
A 1-0 heartbreaking loss to Long Beach State on Nov. 7 fueled the Anteaters throughout their 9 a.m. practices last week. Following a loss in the conference championship, the team's fate rested in a committee's hands last Monday. After receiving not only an invitation to play in the NCAA Tournament but two straight home matchups, the fortunate squad had a vendetta and wanted nothing more than to take it out on Arizona State at home on Nov. 12.
"The last time we lost was to Seattle and we went 17 unbeaten after that," Taylor said. "After the loss [to Long Beach], coach said that we'd start next season on an eight game winning streak."
The team also received word on Nov. 9 that they had dominated the Big West when it came to seasonal honors. Juniper received his first conference Coach of the Year award in his fourth season at UCI. Senior goalie Danielle de Seriere's school record 10 shutouts in a season earned her the distinction as the Big West Goalie of the Year.
It's not a coincidence that upon Goodson's arrival to UCI, the team suddenly became well-rounded with a shored-up "defensive rock," as Juniper refers to them. For her contribution to a unit that played aggressively and lightened de Seriere's load, Goodson was named the conference's defensive player of the year.
The Big West Offensive Player of the Year honors went to none other than Taylor. Gliding gazelle-like across the field, exhibiting disgustingly impressive ball control and making defenders look silly, Taylor has dribbled circles around defenders, notching 11 goals and 12 assists.
Taylor, Goodson, de Seriere, Forrest, Rodriguez and junior Judy Christopher were all named to the All-Big West first team squad, while junior Lexi Kopf received All-Big West honorable mention.
Unfazed by the accolades, the Anteaters went to work on Friday night against the Sun Devils. ASU kicked the game off, but it was UCI that put the pressure on early. In the 14th minute, sophomore Devon Delarosa narrowly missed putting the 'Eaters on the board with a shot just wide of the left crossbar.
Sixteen minutes into the contest, the Sun Devils sent a hush through the UCI crowd when ASU's Devin Marshall took a free kick from a teammate and acrobatically shot a left-footed volley into the right side of the goal. The two teams entered halftime with ASU up 1-0. ASU milked the clock following their lone goal, much to the surprise of Juniper.
"They were trying to run out the clock when there was still an hour left in the game. We continued to play aggressively and took advantage," he said.
At half time, Juniper said he told his team to "play quicker, but not frantic. The goal they scored was a great goal, but they hadn't gotten behind our defense. We had the better chances and if we continued to play with confidence, we would come back."
After Forrest received a yellow card in the 66th minute for aggressively head-butting an opponent in midair, 'Eater Nation woke up. As the fans felt a sense of urgency, UCI remained calm. In the 72nd minute, Taylor rifled a shot off of the right crossbar. Delarosa collected the rebound, gathered herself, and snuck the ball past the goalie, tying the game at one.
"As soon as the ball hit off of the post, I saw it coming straight to my foot," Delarosa said. "I just thought, this is the best opportunity of the game. I had a split second to decide what to do with the ball and I was able to take a touch and send it in to the bottom left corner."
Keeping the foot on the throttle, Taylor and Delarosa connected once more. Taylor pushed the ball forward just two minutes later, crossing it from the right side to Delarosa who sent a header into the net for the game-winning goal.
Taylor's two assists unselfishly thrust her into the school record books, as she passed Caty Cope (2007) to become the all-time single season assists leader. Sunday's assist extended her record from 11 to 12 and placed her second all-time in team history with 34 points.
Coming into the contest with just two goals all season, Delarosa doubled her total and heroically saved the team's season.
"Both of the goals that I made were the biggest of my career," Delarosa said. "We have all worked so hard to get where we are … hard work really does pay off."

Here's how to update a wood fence that needs some improvements or full replacement.
The fence that surrounds your yard is a signature feature of your house's appearance. A fence is the piece of your yard that frames the landscape as a whole and is easily one of the most noticeable components of your yard. A fence is a timeless featured look of a yard, however, the look of the fence is not so timeless. Fences are easily susceptible to damage, especially if made from a material such as wood which can easily be affected by the weather, moisture, and insects. If damaged, you may find that it is time to replace your old fence. Or perhaps you no longer like the style or the fence no longer provides you with what you need from a fence. Regardless, it is obviously time to get rid of that old fence and replace it with a newer and better fence. Here's how to update a wood fence that needs some improvements or full replacement.
If it is a stylistic reason you are choosing to update your fence, then it is important to know what is in right now. It would be pointless to go through the hassle of getting rid of your old fence just to replace it with a fence that is completely out of style and would only serve as an eye sore in your beautiful yard. If the latest trends in the world of fencing is what you are looking for, then look no further than aluminum as the material to build your fence with. Aluminum is a simple, appealing, and versatile material to work with. It is also capable of replicating the appearance of many other fencing materials, making it a popular choice considering it can require a lower amount of maintenance than those materials it is imitating.
One of the biggest problems with replacing fences is the idea of DIY is that by watching a video or reading an article, you are suddenly an expert in what you are doing. Fact of the matter is you do not have the same expertise, skills and knowledge that a professional has. Sure, it might cost more money to go with the pros but you will saving countless hours and energy because when you are doing it yourself, it is tough to predict how long and how tough it just might be doing it yourself for the first time.

The Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) cited financial reasons when it announced the sudden end of the league, but advocates argue it's less about money and more about society's lack of support for women in sports.
"We are, as a society, willing to risk something for the potential success of men's sport," said Courtney Szto, an assistant professor of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., who focuses on gender in sports.
"We have been very unwilling to take that risk for women's sports."
The CWHL announced plans on Sunday to cease operations, effective May 1, explaining that an "economically unsustainable" business model is to blame. The 12-year-old league is structured as a not-for-profit organization that owns the teams.
"To say that the model itself is the issue is a flawed take because you can make lots of revenue in that system. It is certainly possible," Szto told TheCurrent's Anna Maria Tremonti.
She listed off examples of highly successful non-profit sports leagues, including the International Olympic Committee and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Financial investments, even risky ones, are not unheard of when a sports team or league is facing bankruptcy, Szto pointed out. In 2015, the Florida Panthers received $86 million in public funds to bail out the team when they ran out of money.
The funds stop, however, when it's an all-female league or team, she claims.
"You need money to make money," said Szto.
"[The CWHL] have been given very little and asked to do great things with that, and we need to see more legitimate investment or legitimate risks to be taken here."
Shortly after this story aired, the U.S.-based National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) approved a plan to expand its operations to Toronto and Montreal next season. These will be the league's first Canadian-based teams, bringing its total number of franchises to seven.
NWHL spokesperson Chris Botta also told The Associated Press the NHL has committed to being one of the league's biggest financial sponsors.

Over the last few decades, major medical advances have helped us better understand the nature of hearing loss. Still, there's a lot of misinformation out there.
Here are nine common self-deceptions — little lies we tell ourselves that can ultimately sabotage our hearing.
Don't let them hold you back from getting the hearing help you need.
I'd Know If I Had Hearing Loss.
Hearing loss is often so gradual that you may not notice it at first. As your hearing loss increases, you may compensate by turning up the volume or asking people to repeat themselves.
We all tend to be stubborn. It's common to deny the problem initially, then blame others for mumbling or keeping the TV volume too low. But the fact is, people without hearing loss don't need to convince others that "I can hear just fine!" If others tell you to you need a hearing test, it's time to get one, especially when you consider that your odds of having hearing loss are 1 in 5.
It's not worth the trouble to improve my hearing.
Better hearing will improve your life, especially your relationships with friends, family and coworkers.
The best solution is to deal with hearing loss rather than act as if it isn't a problem.
It doesn't matter if I put off getting hearing aids.
The sooner you address your hearing loss, the better. Hearing loss gets worse over time.
Researchers even have a name for this: "auditory deprivation." The longer you ignore your hearing loss, the more hearing you'll lose that can never be recovered.
Hearing aids can help, but only if you have enough hearing left to be saved. And the longer you live with hearing loss, the harder it is to adjust to using hearing aids.
If I'm hearing impaired, it's just a matter of turning up the volume.
Sure, you can take that approach. But don't expect to have the best relationships. When people know they'll constantly have to repeat themselves, they tend to save themselves the trouble by avoiding you.
The right way to turn up the volume to use professionally programmed hearing aids, so that you don't have to turn up the volume on everyone else.
Keep in mind that people resent being burdened when they know that someone could just as easily help themselves.
Hearing aids won't work for me.
Hearing aids work for almost everyone, but only if you use the right technology with the right settings.
If you work with your hearing specialist to find the right hearing aid, programmed for your specific hearing loss, fitted and adjusted to your lifestyle, your hearing aids will almost certainly help you hear better.
Not any more. Older models were large, and there were few options.
But today, you can choose from dozens of behind the ear, in ear or in the ear canal models. The newest models are sleek and small, with some types that fit completely inside the ear canal, making them nearly invisible.
Hearing aids will make me look – and feel – old.
First, hearing loss affects people of all ages.
Second, hearing clearly and participating in conversations with confidence and without hesitation can help you stay young and vibrant.
What can make you seem old: Constantly asking people to repeat themselves, missing parts of the conversation and responding inappropriately!
I can save money by just getting one hearing aid.
If you have hearing loss in both ears, you need two hearing aids.
There's a reason you have two ears; you use them both to locate the source of sounds, to maintain balance, and to hear sound clearly regardless of the direction it's coming from.
Buying one hearing aid to save money when you need two is like buying just one shoe — or a half a pair of eyeglasses.
Some flat-screen Ultra-High Definition TVs retail for more than $8,000, but the millions of people who buy them don't think they're too expensive. It's all about value!
Hearing clearly is part of staying healthy, happy and active. How much is that worth to you? The hearing specialists at Hearing Care of Palatine will recommend the hearing aid options that best match your hearing needs, your lifestyle and your budget.


Bullen, B., Young, M., McArdle, C. & Ellis, M. J. H. (2019) Overcoming barriers to self-management: The person-centred diabetes foot behavioural agreement. The Foot, 38, pp. 65-69.
Objective - Behavioural agreements have been proposed as a clinical strategy for improving concordance with diabetes foot self-management practices, both for individuals 'At-risk' of, and with active, diabetes foot disease. This narrative review sought to explore the potential supportive role of person-centred diabetes foot behavioural agreements in promoting protective foot self-management behaviours among 'At-risk' individuals. Conclusions - Health care professionals (HCPs) involved in diabetes foot risk stratification and management dedicate considerable time, effort and resources to the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and lower extremity amputation (LEA) and are uniquely placed to deliver person-centred diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) interventions. Written, verbal and non-verbal agreements are consistent with a wider global move toward DSMES approaches, respectful of people's preferences, and supporting them to undertake protective self-care behaviours. Practice implications - It is theorised that clear communication of the roles of the person with diabetes, their family or carers and HCPs may improve concordance with self-management behaviours. Rather than a punitive measure or means of facilitating discharge of 'non-concordant' individuals, person-centred behavioural agreements should be framed positively, as a means of delineating, prescribing and supporting individual diabetes foot-care responsibilities. This is an area worthy of further research.

Top 10 Things For ESPN College Gameday To Check Out In Bozeman.
Derek Wolf Published: November 15, 2022
Now that the world knows that ESPN's College Gameday is coming to Bozeman for The Brawl of the Wild, the question is, where should the crew from College Gameday hang out while they're here?
There are a ton of cool things to check out in Gallatin County, but what places scream 'Bozeman, Montana'?
We asked fellow Montanans which places they would suggest and we received a ton of great answers. We then took those answers and compiled a Top 10 list of the best places for ESPN's College Gameday to check out while they're here for Cat/Griz.
#10 MSU Campus
Montana State University is certainly a beautiful campus. With a combination of both old and new, it makes for a wonderful walking tour. From the MSU book store to the new addition to Bobcat Stadium, ESPN can't go wrong with a walk around campus.

#9 The M Trail
While it might require some warm boots with spikes on them, a hike to the M would certainly be a nice little cardio workout for the ESPN Crew. Plus, the views are pretty impressive.

#8 Hyalite Reservoir
One of the prettiest spots in the Bozeman area, Hyalite Reservoir is a popular with folks of all ages, not to mention Palisade Falls is right there and is quite breathtaking, no matter the season.

#7 Cats Paw
Folks that have been in Bozeman for more than 10 minutes all seem to have a story about the Cats Paw. No matter if you're looking for a beverage or some grub after a night of beverages, the Cats Paw is classic Bozeman and definitely worth ESPN's time.
#6 Rockin' R Bar
The Rockin' R Bar has been Rockin' Bozeman since 1947. The Rockin' R is one of the most popular spots for Cats fans of all ages, including the players. Located in beautiful downtown Bozeman, ESPN would no doubt have a Rockin' good time.
Rocking-R-Bar-Outside2
#5 Downtown Bozeman
In what many believe to be one of the most beautiful downtown areas in Montana, the heart of Bozeman offers a whole lot to see and do. From really cool and quirky shops to amazing dining options, ESPN will want to make sure to spend some time in downtown Bozeman.
#4 Western Cafe
A perfect example of not only old-school Bozeman, but old-school Montana, the Western Cafe has been a local favorite for decades. It's just a simple, delicious cafe that serves up some of the best comfort food you're ever going to have.
The Western is an absolute must for the Gameday crew.
#3 Bobcat Tailgate Parties
One of the best parts of the whole game day experience in Bozeman is tailgating. Bobcat fans love getting together to grill and drink. There's nothing better than getting together with fellow Bobcat fanatics and hanging out before the game, during the game, and after the game to cheer on our beloved Cats.
There's no doubt that the folks of ESPN will want to hang out a bit and tailgate with Cat fans.
#2 Museum of the Rockies
The Museum of the Rockies is not only the finest museum in Montana, it's also one of the best in the nation. The Museum of the Rockies has one of the finest displays of dinosaur fossils that you'll ever see. Plus, they have a great display of Montana history that is a must-see.

#1 Pickle Barrel
You can't come to Bozeman and not stop at the Pickle Barrel. While Bozeman has a ton of really good places to eat, none is more popular than the little sandwich shop over at College Street across from the MSU campus. The Pickle Barrel has been serving up those famous sandwiches since 1975 and for many MSU alum, it's the first stop they make when they come back to Bozeman.
The Game Day crew most definitely will want to try a Pickle Barrel cheesesteak.
Pickle Barrel
So there you have it. The Top 10, according to the folks of Montana. Is there any place we missed? Where would you suggest the ESPN College Gameday Crew hang out? Send us a message on our app!
Montana State University Football Homecoming 2022
Montana State Bobcats celebrate Homecoming 2022 with a win against Idaho State. Check out the highlights, the spirit quad, Champ, and the rest of the crew. GO CATS!
Montana State University Gold Rush Game 2022
The day was hot and so were the Bobcats. The first game of the season against McNeese State, and the Bobcats were ready to send those Cowboys back to the south.
Temperatures close to 100 degrees, didn't stop our Bobcats OR their dedicated fans. Bobcat Football brings out fans of all ages to cheer and be a part of a dream for many youth. Future Bobcats right here? I hope so, they already have amazing spirit!
The Bobcats took the win with ease, staying one step ahead of the McNeese Cowboys, the team looked fresh, ready, and the end score proved they were ready to come out on top of the season opener.
With a final score of 40-17, the Bobcats put the southern boys back on a plane with their first loss of the season, and the first win for our Bobcats.
Week two is just around the corner with a home game on September 10th, which also brings the Military Appreciation game. Just one way we love to show our Military Personnel an extra THANK YOU.
If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, be listening to Derek and Megan in the morning on 100.7 XL Country ALL week for your chance to score a pair of tickets to the next home game.
Also, make sure to stop by our XL Country Tailgate to register to win concert tickets, gift cards, and of course, MORE BOBCAT TICKETS than any other station. GO CATS GO!

Q: How we can access the rotation angle from matrix? Can please anybody explain me how will i get the x,y and rotation angle for the following image from its matrix attribute ?
<image
   y="-136.18584"
   x="343.87161"
   id="image3000"
   xlink:href="file:///C:/Users/gaurav/Documents/testing.jpg"
   height="369"
   width="360"
   transform="matrix(0.75329963,0.65767748,-0.65767748,0.75329963,0,0)" />

I am so much weak in maths, so please help  me out ?

A: According to Coordinate Systems, Transformations and Units – SVG 1.1 (Second Edition) and if my pocket calculator is right, it is about 41 degrees, counter clockwise.
The first value 0.75329963 is the cos(theta), where theta is the sought angle. So you have only to calculate the inverse cosine for that value and have your result.
x&y define the centre of the rotation. The exact values depend on what was the developers intention. In other words: where to place the image after rotating it. Their effect also depends on the image size.

Center for Constitutional Rights: "Is this who we are?" asked President Obama almost one year ago during a speech in response to the mass hunger strike at Guantánamo prison and international condemnation over the force-feeding of men. Little has changed since that speech on May 23rd of last year. Not a single Yemeni has been released, even though the president lifted his self-imposed ban on transfers to Yemen, and men like our client Tariq Ba Odah, who continue hunger-striking, are still force-fed. On May 23rd, join activists across the world for a global day of action to close Guantánamo. We must keep the pressure on the administration to expedite the release of men already cleared for transfer and those it does not intend to charge. There will be demos in DC, NYC, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Hawaii, Munich, London, Sydney and many more cities (via Witness Against Torture)

"The gist of the conversation was that ...." The word "gist" often appears in such contexts to let us know that what follows will be a statement or summary that in some way encapsulates the main point or overarching theme. The gist of a conversation, argument, story, or what-have-you is what we rely on when the actual words and details are only imperfectly recalled, inessential, or too voluminous to recount in their entirety. "Gist" was borrowed from the Anglo-French legal phrase "[cest] action gist" ("[this] action lies") in the early 18th century, and was originally used in legal contexts as a term referring to the foundation or grounds for a legal action without which that action would not be legally sustainable.

It's taken me an unconscionably long time, but section 02, The King of the Great Clock Tower, is ready for PL.
Ian, if you read this, I've left out lots of your stage directions. They were beautifully done, but I think (I hope!) this preserves both the listening flow and some of the unnerving and symbolic elements that this would have had when staged.
We have a PL for my editing! I'm posting that exciting news so that nobody else comes along and doubles the work unnecessarily.
The editing on Sections 1 & 2 is PL OK. Both really top class recordings!
I just noticed one thing on Section 1, but you may have done it intentionally.
On p. 20, the text has 'The attendants close inner curtain singing', while the recording does not have the 'singing' (12:45). Is this intentional because the attendants are not, in fact, singing?
Woo hoo, thank you Phil!
You're quite right, that was partly because the attendants weren't singing and partly to trim references to stage directions not directly related to visual stuff impossible to represent in an mp3.
I've marked them both PL OK, and I'll get to work on the summary! Very well done everyone, and thank you for taking part!
William Butler Yeats first published this collection in 1935. In it, he developed themes and symbolism prevalent throughout his work, including his fascination with masks and Irish legends.
Do we have an online text, or a cover yet?
If, and only if, there is room for a third PL, would it be possible to add Phil's name? He checked my editing of the dramas. If not, not to worry, as having two credits for PLing is still a decided improvement over LV!
There isn't (yet) an online text.
I definitely don't have a cover! And you really don't want me to provide one, either. Would it be worth asking one of the regular artists on LV?
There can be as many PLs on the catalog page as have been involved in the project! I added Phil.
For the cover, here's a deal: if you find me a fitting picture - for example some old painting that has a Wikipedia photo - then I choose a font and write the text on it.
Fantastic, thanks! I realise it isn't always possible to give everybody credit, but it's nice when that does happen.
What do you think to this photo of Yeats from roughly the same time he was writing this book? (The photographer died in 1942, so the copyright ought to be okay.) If it would be tricky to work with, I'll keep looking!
Will try to make a cover until Sunday night!
No rush! I appreciate your efforts, because we'd be here all year if it were down to me to come up with a cover.
you can see my humble effort on the catalog preview page linked above.
I'm not too happy with it. A cover must be 300x300 pixels (square), so the head cannot get "smaller" on the cover as it is now (or it would be cropped). And if I don't want to write the text over his head, it looks as crammed as it does now.
EDIT: I managed to "create" some space to the right, so it looks less crammed.
I like it! When I saw your message I wasn't sure what to expect, but I think you're being hard on yourself. It looks really good - thank you very much for creating it!
Thanks! Then we're good to go!
Thank you so much, Viktor! It's exciting to have this one out there and waiting to be listened to!

Message by the Principal
Dear parents, teachers, and students, I extend to you all a very warm welcome to Don Bosco School, Pithoragarh Website. I hope that this initiation to website will assist in enhancing the school culture furthering the school's growth and evolution, enabling it to interface with the networked world for efficiency and effectiveness.
"In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love."
- ( Mother Teresa in her quote )
Mother Teresa very powerfully captures important wisdom about how to approach life and schooling to make it more fulfilling and significant. Teaching and learning offers us all numerous opportunities to focus on a number of "small things" that culminate over time to produce students who are prepared to do the "great things" of life. It will also contribute to the realization of the school shaping education through digital vision and to move from the traditional way of communicating to the digital system. The closed classroom is opened as the school goes online. The teachers and students can with pride reveal the work done within the four walls.
Education is one of the means to transmit the light of life and spread the radiance of it in the ambience in which we live. Inspired by the teachings of Jesus and our Patron saint, St John Bosco and with our Motto "Virtue and Knowledge" we aim at the integral development of each student under the banner of Don Bosco School, Pithoragarh and lay a lot of impetus on honing every aspect of child's personality that works towards nurturing the child in to a happy and well equipped human being.
The school has its clear vision and mission objective. In order to accomplish our vision and mission, we take as much effort as possible. We believe that education is an effective medium of social transformation. We get encouragement, looking at bright and successful careers of our thousands of students, who subsequently benefit the society. We feel proud that we are part of such an institute, which is shaping the future citizens.
Our school cares for the individual development of each and every student. We accord prime importance to the behavioral discipline, moral integrity and cognitive developmentsof our students. Our teachers strive to teach not only academic programmes but also life skills needed for students' self development with highly resourceful faculty.
The reputation, the school has acquired and established over these years is due to the dedication and selfless commitment of teachers, supporting staff, and the students. With the support of the staff and families, our students explore, express and excel academically and creatively. I appreciate the dedication and the selfless service of the teachers of the past and the present and wish them all, best of fortune, peace and prosperity for their contribution to the noble task of spreading education and its manifest qualities, aims and objectives.
Sr. Maria


The study by Rutgers University-New Brunswick ecologists provides new clarity on how and why the exotic pet trade has become the primary venue by which reptiles and amphibians arrive in non-native lands, the first step to becoming ecologically damaging invaders.
The researchers documented 1,722 reptile and amphibian species in the U.S. exotic pet trade from 1999 to 2016. They compared the list with previous research and data from a citizen science project that records sightings in the U.S. of non-native species. They found that the most popular pets – those imported in high numbers and sold at low prices, usually when they're small and cute – are the most likely to be dumped into the wild later on.
"The owners may underestimate the space and costs needed to keep such animals as they grow into adults. Boa constrictors and reticulated pythons grow over 8 feet long. African clawed frogs and Russian tortoises live 30 years or more," said Oliver Stringham, study lead author and a Rutgers doctoral student. "Not wanting to euthanize, owners may resort to releasing them instead."
Julie Lockwood, study co-author and a professor in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources at Rutgers-New Brunswick, said, "While it might not be possible to fully prevent the release of exotic pets, reducing the number can be an effective way to prevent new species from becoming established and potentially invasive."

Members of the public waiting for their driving licence cards may experience a delay because of industrial action at the Driving Licence Card Account (DLCA) in Pretoria. While the processing of applications for new licence cards and renewals is decentralised, all cards are issued by the DLCA, a trading entity of the National Department of Transport. This delay will therefore affect applicants all over South Africa.

It's easiest to be frugal when you're flying solo. When all you have to think about is yourself and your own internal demands, it's easier to make frugal choices. Often, the desire to be social or the desire to keep up with social demands can really eat into our finances, because the financial cost of things like going out with friends and eating out with friends add up really quickly.
Because of that, many people who dabble in frugality tend to take that path of least resistance and find themselves engaging in a lot of solo activities. They spend more time at home and less time with their social circles, which works okay for a while when the excitement of trimming back your spending and getting your bills under control is still burning bright, but when that glow cools off, frugality can end up feeling pretty lonely – and, for some, lonely often feels boring, too.
Frugality winds up creating a lot of anti-social feelings and stereotypes. People who are new to frugal living – and even old hands, sometimes – can feel like antisocial weirdoes and worry about being unwelcoming.
I'm an introvert. I like having lots of solo time. However, even for me, there are times that doing the most frugal thing can end up feeling a little lonely.
It's during those moments that I turn to a healthy handful of frugal strategies that also happen to be pretty social strategies as well. Here are eighteen social things that I really enjoy doing that also happen to be quite frugal. Don't be afraid to pick and choose among these and suggest some of these ideas to your friends for feedback.
Meetup.com is an invaluable tool for frugal people with varied interests who want to explore those interests and easily meet others who share those interests in the community. Effectively, Meetup is a directory of interest groups in your area – clubs or organizations that are focused on a particular shared interest among its members. You might find groups for origami or board gaming or storytelling or woodworking or anything else, depending on the area you live in.
Simply head over there and browse what's available within, say, a 25 mile radius of your home, and then make a conscious effort to visit all of those meetups that are of interest to you. Try diving into things that you're unfamiliar with but that you might find compelling, or even things that are just completely outside of your typical areas of interest, just to see what they're like. At worst, you spent an interesting afternoon or evening and know more about the topic in question and perhaps met a few interesting people; at best, you found a new social group and a new hobby to boot.
A potluck dinner party is simply a gathering of friends at your home where each invitee brings some sort of contribution to the meal. Perhaps they bring a side dish or a couple bottles of wine or a dessert. Each person should bring enough to contribute meaningfully to the meal, which reduces the cost for the hosts and adds a lot of variety to what's on offer.
Not only is a potluck dinner party a super-inexpensive way for a group of friends to spend a great evening together, it can also become a rotating thing, enabling different people to take on the chore of hosting (as the host does have to handle cleanup and dishes and such).
Potluck dinner parties are the backbone of our social life. We have them fairly regularly, inviting several friends to bring themselves and food and beverages to our home for a great shared meal and a lot of laughs. It works incredibly well for families that are quite busy and can't always find time to plan a perfect dinner party or find babysitters for a night out.
The website of almost every city and town in America features some sort of community calendar feature which lists upcoming events of interest in the community. These calendars often include civic government things like city council meetings, but they also include things like community band concerts (which are often free), town festivals, city-wide garage sales, and other events that are either free or extremely low cost to participate in. Those events are usually well-attended and, if you're willing to be outgoing, they can often be a place to meet interesting people in your community.
Find an event or two of interest and attend it. Be friendly and open to meeting people at the event. If you find it compelling, find out who organized that event and get involved with planning the next one. It usually won't cost you a dime and you'll definitely meet some new people in that process!
In addition to our potluck dinners (mentioned in #2, above), we also regularly host game nights and occasionally host movie nights (though our movie nights usually center around collectively roasting a bad movie rather than quietly watching a good one, as a good roasting is far more social than a quiet viewing in the dark).
We simply ask everyone to bring some sort of snack to share and, if it's a game night, bring a game they're interested in playing and are willing to teach. If the group gets too big, we set up a table in the living room for an additional game running in parallel to the one in the kitchen (one is usually a very open social game, while the other one is usually more complicated and strategic).
Neither of these events cost anyone much money at all – you might bring $5 or $10 worth of food or beverages in exchange for an evening of snacks and entertainment.
If your community has open soccer fields (as ours does), all you need for a game of soccer is a soccer ball and enough people to form two reasonable teams. That's it. You just go out there, run around like fools, kick the ball a bunch, and have a good time. It just requires one person to have a soccer ball, and some communities will even loan them out for a tiny deposit.
Even if your community doesn't have an open soccer field, you can still go out there, find an open space, define some goals using natural landmarks, and play soccer. It's a great way to get some exercise, hang out with friends, and not be in a competitive league that might be above your skill level. I'm awful at soccer, but I still enjoy doing this every once in a while.
The same thing holds true if your community has open basketball courts. All you need is a ball and a willingness to play.
Just invite some friends over to make something frugal together and have them bring some of the ingredients they'll need. With soap, for example, have them bring whatever unique ingredients they might want in their soap along with maybe a snack or something and you'll just supply some of the basics (like lye and molds).
A block party is simply one in which you get together with a bunch of neighbors, spread out a bunch of food, hang out together, play some music, and get to know each other a little. It can be a great way to meet people in your neighborhood, especially if you're new or if you have a lot of new neighbors.
If you know any of your neighbors very well, stop by and talk to them about organizing such a block party together. Then distribute flyers and tell people to bring a side dish, some chairs, and their own grilling materials (and buns if needed). On the day of the event, all you have to do is get together a bunch of grills and then turn on your social side. People will come.
If you would like to occasionally go out but the cost of child care is prohibitive, see if you know another family with children close to the age of your own children and consider talking to them about rotating child care amongst the families. This is a great solution for two families that have several children each, because the burden can be intense and expensive for a babysitter but a family with several kids can handle an afternoon or an evening with a few more quite easily.
What this does is it makes date night for a married couple much less expensive than before and makes it possible for them to attend parties without the children in tow on occasion without having to spring for the additional cost of a babysitter. The only real cost will be one meal for a few extra kids on a future night, but your own children are being provided a meal as part of the equation, so it balances out.
If you find that many of your activities that you're filling your life with aren't inherently social, make them social anyway. Invite a friend to go jogging with you. Invite a friend to binge watch a show on Netflix. Invite a couple of pals to help you go buy a mattress.
Those are normal, everyday activities, but with friends, they become much more fun than they would be if you just tackled them alone. I've invited friends over to just play video games. I've invited a friend over to help me sort through a mountain of books (and he brought along some books to swap). I've gone on ordinary bicycle rides with friends. I've gone grocery shopping with friends. It's just normal stuff, but if you do it with someone, it becomes inherently social.
Many local libraries have a number of groups that meet within its walls. You'll find things like book clubs (usually a bunch of them on a bunch of different topics), political discussion groups, speaker series, workshops, and lots of other surprising things. One library in our area has an open D&D group, a board gaming group, multiple crafting groups, and a group that apparently finds some place to do tai chi, although I have no idea where exactly that works in there.
Just check out the library website or stop in for a bit and ask the librarian about their programs. Put aside some time and check out all of the groups that seem interesting. They're almost always loaded with interesting people and I've wound up with a few pretty good friends from events like these.
If you're looking for a special excursion with your friends, just plan on spending part of a day at a state park with them. Pack up a picnic lunch, then find a spot to meet up. Go on a few trails of a difficulty that won't overwhelm anyone, stop for lunch, and then just explore the offerings of the park.
It's a great way to get outside with friends and explore lots of new environments without spending much money at all. A day at a state park with trail walking and a picnic is actually one of the things Sarah and I enjoy doing the most with friends, so we often suggest the idea.
Many communities have civic organizations that are open to all interested community members or a broad cross-section of community members. These organizations often help organize community events and step up when charitable efforts are needed for the town, and many of them build a strong community within themselves of like-minded people who take pride in having a great town to live in.
See what civic organizations are in your town and which ones you might be able to join, then look into those organizations and choose one or two that might fit your needs. Doing so will provide an opportunity to get to know many people in your town, build some relationships, and spend some of your time and energy making your community better for everyone.
If you're more interested in project-based volunteer efforts, look into volunteer organizations in your area such as Habitat for Humanity or the local food pantry. Such opportunities are still social in nature, but they tend to have much more of a service orientation to them.
I will personally vouch for working for the local food pantry or food bank. I have been a regular volunteer at such organizations in the past and continue to do so when family scheduling allows it. Helping with local food distribution to the poor has been one of the most profound experiences of my life and it's helped me to build several valuable friendships. I can't recommend it enough.
This follows along with the idea of taking a soccer ball to the park or a basketball to a playground, but a frisbee has a different set of advantages. First of all, tossing a frisbee around is about as low impact as you can get in terms of exercise. However, you can escalate things into all kinds of games, with games like ultimate turning into a pretty serious workout.
Another advantage of a frisbee is that it works almost anywhere and you can easily toss one in your backpack or keep one in the trunk of your car. We keep a frisbee in both of our vehicles just in case the opportunity comes up.
If you own a musical instrument, enjoy playing it, and are even remotely adept at playing it, invite friends over to jam with you. The simple process of playing music in a group is one that is almost always enjoyable for everyone involved, as it often turns into a collective that's greater than the sum of its parts.
If it doesn't go all that well, then you simply had a few hours to hang out with friends and jam a little. If it does go well, you can take it further than that and form a band, working on pieces of music and even performing shows. I have a friend, for example, who taught himself how to play the banjo and eventually turned that into a standing gig with a band that basically consists of some old friends playing a guitar, a banjo, and some woodwinds.
If you're already religious or are curious about religion, attend a religious service of a faith or denomination that is interesting to you. Pay attention, then talk to the people afterwards and find out more about the organization. Religious organizations often provide a wonderful community to be a part of and typically have lots of social events throughout the week.
This tends to be a good idea if you are in spiritual agreement with most of the tenets of the organization, but if their beliefs are far away from your beliefs, this is a poor idea as you'll often end up in conflict with the rest of the group. If you're unsure where you stand, explore your own ideas a little before diving into a religious group.
This is a frugal activity that was very popular in the area where I grew up. Whenever people would be facing a major home improvement project, like replacing a roof or moving to a new home, they'd often host a party and divide the work amongst everyone who came. This would often turn home improvement tasks from something that would take weeks into something that would take an afternoon for the cost of a group meal.
These parties were very social and they were hosted by people on an at-need basis. If someone was moving, they'd host a party at their new home with friends and family helping them to bring boxes and furniture to the new place. If someone was refinishing a basement, they'd have a big party for everyone after a day of hanging drywall and painting.
This final strategy is another clever one if you have busy friends and can line up a weekend afternoon together. It'll provide a great social gathering and also save everyone involved a ton of money and time.
Essentially, what you do is plan out a make-ahead meal of some kind – like, say, a pan of lasagna – and then plan everything out so that everyone will get to take home four pans to stick in the freezer. If you have seven people show up, that means 28 pans. How many noodles will that take? How much sauce? How many reusable containers?
Divide up the shopping for all of that stuff among all attendees, averaging out the cost to the best of your ability. Have one person bring several jars of pasta sauce. Have another person bring a ton of lasagna noodles. Let someone else bring the cheese. Have two guests split the purchase of 28 reusable pans for the lasagna.
Then, just get together and assemble all 28 pans as a group. The whole thing is a giant social endeavor, allowing you to all spend some time together and enjoy each other's company. Perhaps you can even make an extra pan and eat it together when the meals are completed.
Being frugal does not have to mean being anti-social. It just means being a little more selective in terms of the social things that you spend your time doing. There are still infinite options for spending time with friends, even if you put a tight cap on your spending, and there's no reason you can't mix and match the ideas above with some of the activities you used to do.
You might be surprised to find that some of your friends really embrace the lower-cost options, too. Many people secretly balk at the idea of spending a lot going out every night but are afraid to buck their social group's norms. You might just find that by suggesting some lower cost things, you're pleasing many more people besides yourself.
Not only that, making intentionally frugal choices can sometimes help you build new friendships. When you take the initiative to check out a social organization or go to a meetup, you're likely going to meet new people who share at least some interests and values with you, which is a wonderful way to expand your social circle.

14 MAY 15, 2016 GOOD FRUIT GROWER www.goodfruit.com N orthwest Cherry Growers is looking at 2016 as another big crop year with marketing to con- sumers grounded on a concept worth repeating: "Awareness, awareness, awareness." James Michael, vice president of mar- keting in North America for the five-state Northwest Cherry Growers organization and the Washington State Fruit Commission, says marketing cherries is a complex puzzle involv- ing a host of factors, such as weather, the size of the crop and the velocity of the harvest. But the key to consumer sales is making buyers aware when cherries are in season. Consumer awareness is activated in large part by traditional midweek print ad fliers found in newspapers or on racks at stores, supplemented by coverage in radio, TV and print and by newer tactics, such as briefi ng food bloggers and sharing on social media. Based in Yakima, Washington, Northwest Cherry Growers represents 2,100 growers whose harvest value of 19.3 million boxes last year was $827 million. This year, the group projects a crop of 20 million boxes, a number that will be adjusted as the season progresses. By comparison, last year produced 19 million boxes and 2014 produced a record 23 million boxes. (About 79 percent of Northwest cherries are sold in the U.S. and Canada. For a discussion of export promotions, please see "Big export year for Northwest cherries" in the February 1, 2015, issue of Good Fruit Grower.) When cherries will start to move from tree to packing house and in what numbers are critical questions for retailers who work four weeks in advance on merchandising, ad placements and shelf space. Typically, about two-thirds of the cherry harvest ships in four weeks, a compressed window to alert consumers and induce repeated purchases. Because grocery weekly circulars are so critical to sales, Michael and his team of part- time regional representatives work hard to encourage retailers to create ads for cherries, using a combination of crop data, category research and promotion programs. Timing ads for a highly perishable crop can be tricky; because of unusual heat in 2015, for example, most Northwest cherries arrived in stores two weeks earlier and fi nished three weeks sooner than in recent years. For all the curveballs thrown by Mother Nature — be they rain, heat, birds, hail or all of the above — Michael and others in cherry marketing have sophisticated tools to promote fruit. Those tools start with extraordinarily detailed research on people who buy cherries and the catalytic effect cherries have on overall sales at grocery stores. For example, research shows that 76 million people in the U.S. buy cherries, and that cherry buyers shop more often and spend more than average shoppers. Typical cherry buyers spend $28 more per grocery trip than non-cherry buyers. Put another way, cherries are the No. 1 dollars-per-square-foot item in July and fi ercely compete with berries for the top spot all summer. To assist grocers with how to sell more, Northwest Cherry Growers suggests setting up secondary displays at perimeter locations, even at checkout stations because 53 percent of cherry sales are impulse buys. Grab-and-go packages are effective. Visibility and attentive merchandising are key. Michael says it's the responsibility of Northwest Cherries to conduct that type of research on behalf of growers and then turn those studies into usable statistics for retailers and cherry shippers. Health is another driver of cherry buying. Northwest Cherry Growers promotes aware- ness of research showing that cherries help protect against Alzheimer's disease, reduce infl ammation, combat hypertension, discour- age diabetes and fi ght cardiovascular disease. Cherries even help people sleep better. Michael and others spend considerable time working with writers and producers to cover cherry topics, at times talking months, even years, in advance to magazines with long lead times. The results have been impressive, generating coverage in the New York Times, Good Housekeeping, Martha Stewart Living, Real Simple, Bon Appetit, O magazine, Family Circle and other major outlets. The health message has driven additional coverage in in Shape magazine, Men's Health, Women's Health, Yahoo! Health, the Food Network, the Dr. Oz The Good Life magazine and elsewhere. Media research shows the cherry health cov- erage generated 267 million audience impres- sions in 2015. When the crop begins to ripen, Northwest Cherry Growers ships more than 2,000 pounds of fresh cherries to more than 30 infl uential food bloggers across the U.S. whose "buzz" is a powerful validator of cherry buying. At the same time, Northwest Cherry Growers steps up postings on its Facebook account, a plat- form for Michael to post articles, images and cooking tips for consumers to share. More than 11,000 people follow that account. In June, as the cherry crop begins to emerge, Michael will be visiting senior editors at places such as Condé Nast and Hearst, owners of many magazines and websites, to educate and entice them with Northwest cherries. He will pitch ideas for print and online articles about the coming season. It isn't hard getting people to write about cherries, he says. Editors know they are a popular topic. The trick is coming up with fresh angles for the popular topics. To further improve communications to both consumers and industry insiders, Michael is overhauling the websites nwcherries.com and cherryupdate.com. Aimed at consumers, the updated nwcherries.com will go live in late May, featuring images and various articles on health and nutrition messages. For the Northwest cherry industry people, nwcherryupdate.com will feature frequent postings on crop data and will provide more video reports from orchards by growers. "It's an attempt to strengthen the established trust retailers place in our representation of the overall crop," said Michael. "With the best information, everyone succeeds." • Stoking the North American cherry market Cherries Cherry marketing: "awareness, awareness, awareness." by O.

Barbara Chase-Riboud The Albino 1972 (reinstalled in 1994 by the artist as All That Rises Must Converge/Black)
MoMA, Floor 4, 400
Chase-Riboud was nineteen when she created her first lost-wax bronze casting at the American Academy in Rome, establishing a lifelong relationship with both the technique and the city. She began adding fiber to her sculptures a decade later in an attempt to reverse the properties of materials: making metal look soft and delicate and fiber appear ridged and hard. The sculpture may be shown in two configurations: as you see it here (The Albino) or with its arms upstretched to the ceiling (All That Rises Must Converge/Black). Both names have literary resonances. The former is the title of a poem by the artist and the latter is a reference to a 1965 short story about race and class by the Southern writer Flannery O'Connor.

Zebu indyjskie, zebu, bydło domowe garbate (Bos indicus) – forma udomowionego w starożytności bydła domowego o charakterystycznym garbie położonym na grzbiecie i masywnych rogach, rozpowszechniona w krajach podzwrotnikowych jako zwierzęta użytkowe. W Indiach otaczane jest kultem, ma specjalny status jako święta krowa. Jako zwierzę odporne na gorący i wilgotny klimat oraz wiele chorób zebu jest krzyżowane z innymi rasami bydła. Wyhodowano liczne rasy tego bydła.

Pochodzenie i domestykacja
Wywodzi się prawdopodobnie od †Bos primigenius namadicus – podgatunku tura żyjącego w Indiach w epoce lodowcowej. Dokładna data domestykacji zebu nie jest znana. Nastąpiło to w starożytności, prawdopodobnie w Mezopotamii i w Indiach, ale proces udomowienia mógł przebiegać niezależnie w różnych regionach. Wiadomo, że zebu było znane w Mezopotamii i Indiach już w IV w p.n.e.

Cechy charakterystyczne
Zebu charakteryzuje się podobnym do wielbłądziego garbem mięśniowo-tłuszczowym położonym w okolicy kłębu, workiem skórnym poniżej gardła oraz masywnymi, szeroko rozstawionymi rogami. Osiąga wysokość w kłębie do około 160 cm, długość ciała bez ogona wynosi około 240 cm, a masa – do 700 kg. Ubarwienie płowe, jasnożółte, czerwone, szare lub czarne, również plamiste.

Znaczenie dla człowieka
Bydło typu zebu jest rozpowszechnione przede wszystkim w Indiach, gdzie znajdują się główne ośrodki hodowli. Są tam uważane za zwierzęta święte i użytkowane jako zwierzęta pociągowe i juczne. W wyniku hodowli wyselekcjonowano liczne rasy różniące się ubarwieniem, umięśnieniem m.in. kankaryjską, bahurską, dandżi, deonio, mizorską oraz najmniejsze – zebu karłowate. Zebu jest przystosowane do życia w środowisku gorącym i wilgotnym, jest też odporne na wiele chorób. Cechy te spowodowały import tych zwierząt na wschodnie wybrzeże Afryki i Madagaskar. Na początku XX wieku zebu zostało również sprowadzone do Brazylii i skrzyżowane z francuską odmianą bydła (Charolaise). .

Nomenklatura zoologiczna
Nazwa systematyczna bydła zebu odbiega od standardowych zasad taksonomii zoologicznej. Bydło domowe (nazwa naukowa Bos primigenius f. taurus) jest uznawane za formę tura (Bos primigenius). Bydło zebu jest typem bydła domowego i w systematyce określane jest nazwą naukową Bos primigenius f. taurus – tak samo jak bydło domowe i bydło Watussi. Ponieważ bydło domowe – ze względów praktycznych – określane jest nazwą Bos taurus, a zebu opisano po raz pierwszy pod nazwą Bos indicus Linnaeus, 1758 przyjmuje się obecnie jako poprawną, synonimiczną nazwę systematyczną Bos taurus indicus, mimo że trynominalna nazwa sugeruje klasyfikowanie w randze podgatunku.

Home Full and final MH370 report to be released on July 30
Full and final MH370 report to be released on July 30
A man looks at a message board in remembrance of victims on board the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, during its fourth annual remembrance event in Kuala Lumpur on March 3, 2018. – Reuters/Lai Seng Sin
PUTRAJAYA: The Government will release the full and final report on the findings into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 on July 30, says Anthony Loke.
The Transport Minister said the Cabinet has granted approval for the Ministry to initially present the report to the victims' next-of-kin and later to the public.
He said the next-of-kin will be given a closed door briefing first in the morning while a press conference will be held later in the afternoon, both by MH370 investigation team head Datuk Kok Soo Chon.
"The briefings will be done completely by the investigation team led by Kok.
"This is a report by them and we respect the independence of this committee, so they will do the briefings and answer the questions.
"We are committed to transparency so the report will be presented fully without any edits or amendments," he said.
He added that the report will be presented to both houses of the Parliament the next day (July 31).
He said that 1,000 copies of the report will be printed.
He said each victim's family will get the full report, and copies of the report will also be given to media organisations and foreign missions in the country.
Flight MH370, carrying 239 people, vanished enroute from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, becoming one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries.


(JTA) — The video, with suspenseful music playing in the background, opens with footage of a crowd of Orthodox Jews. Then it paraphrases a classic poem about the Holocaust.
The expansion has created a backlash from some non-Orthodox neighbors, who often say their objections are about zoning, housing density and local support for public schools. But the Orthodox residents and others see some of the criticism as anti-Semitic.
On that page, the group repeatedly denies that it is anti-Semitic ("We are NOT anti-Semitic," the October statement reads). And in a post written following the video paraphrasing the Holocaust poem, the group wrote that "We certainly did not intend to draw a moral equivalency between the holocaust and current events in Ocean County. What took place under Nazi rule will forever be known as the greatest human tragedy in the history of mankind …" The video, however, is still up.
The real estate agent criticized in the Facebook group, Abba Deutsch, said the Facebook page does not reflect his day-to-day interactions with residents of Toms River, where he lives and works. He said he never hears anti-Semitic comments while soliciting properties and has good relations with his neighbors regardless of religion.
