Since I changed how I create my Instagram Stories at the end of August I have had some lovely comments about them both in person, on Instagram and on Twitter.
And one question I keep getting is - how do you make them? What app do you use?
Of course there are alternatives to iMovie, too. But this post and the accompanying YouTube video is based on the assumption that you know a little about making movies in some sort of software. I am not explaining the technicalities of using iMovie but rather the creativity behind my Instagram Stories.
That said, if you do have questions on iMovie or recording video on your iPhone then let me know as I'd be happy to answer those queries in a blog post or YouTube video.
The first thing I want to address is that I'm well aware that many people love Instagram Stories because they are in the moment. Unlike a curated feed which sometimes suggests life is perfect.
Even though I'm editing clips together to create a mini-film the clips are still in the moment. I don't stage anything. Oh ok, I lie, I once got my dog to sit in front of the local red phone box as I liked the contrast! But that's probably been the only time and that time was literally a few seconds of the dog sitting before we carried on our walk.
The point of these mini-films - for me at least - is to experiment. It's to be creative for no other reason than the enjoyment of being creative. I'm not doing it to grow followers or to attract brands. I'm doing it purely for the love of storytelling.
This post shares why I love to create video montages for Instagram Stories.
So, if you're interested in making mini films then think about your reasons behind it. You have to love the storytelling element, I think, to keep doing it. Otherwise it becomes a chore and something else to add to your busy day.
I can film and edit a film, from start to finish, in about an hour. I often do it whilst having my morning coffee or eating my breakfast. I could lose that time to social media but instead I create. And every day I create a mini-film my days continues, on the whole, to be creative and productive. In fact, I think I've written far more since I started making them. This is probably related to the fact I'm not on social media as much, too!
Obviously I start by filming. A dog walk, the early morning, releasing the chickens and ducks. Each clip is only a few seconds long - otherwise it's just a waste of time and storage space.
I often know what mood I'm in and my mini-films often show how my morning or day has been. Fraught from the school run. A slow Sunday. A misty start. A relaxing dog walk.
Once I've laid a few clips down in iMovie and get a feel for the story I want to tell I look for music. I subscribe to Soundstripe *. It is, quite frankly, one of the best things (along with Canva) that I subscribe to. Use my code HELENREDFERN for 10% off.
If you don't want to subscribe to a music subscription service you can go to the free selection on YouTube.
I've also been know to add a few sound effects, too. Sometimes, for example, I can't hear the rain enough so layer a sound effect over the top.
Then I lay down all the clips I want to use. I've probably got far too many and they run far too long at this stage.
Then I go back to the beginning and reduce the clips in line with the beat or changes in the music.
I'll alter the speed of the clips. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow motion. And I'll alter the sound of the clips. Sometimes muting, sometimes enhancing certain sounds.
And I'll fade the music towards the end so it doesn't just come to a stop. On that note I'll also make sure the music isn't too loud in the first place. You don't want it blaring out of Instagram.
Once I'm happy I'll check it through a few times then export as a file.
If my mini-film is more than 15 seconds I then create a new movie in iMovie and re-import my mini-film in order to divide it up into 15 second increments.
Each increment has to be 15 seconds or less (I do mine at about 14.7 or 14.8 seconds to be safe).
When dividing the film don't alter the length either side just simply chop up. When it uploads to Instagram there will be a small jump when it goes to the next clip but otherwise it'll be seamless (as long as you haven't played around and edited the beginning or end).
Then save each division of the mini film. If mine is in three parts I usually cut the second and third part (saving to my clipboard) and save the first part as a file calling it part A or part 1. Then I delete that one and paste in the second two parts. Deleting the third (again saving it to the clipboard first) and saving the middle section calling it part B. Then I delete that one and paste in the third and call it part C. It can be a bit fiddly but you get used to it.
Then I export all of these clips back to my iPhone using Airdrop.
Then I upload to Instagram Stories - in sequence.
And that is pretty much it. Any questions then do let me know.
And come and find me on Instagram. I'm abookishbaker.
If you want to learn more about making films then do have a look at Xanthe Berkeley's courses.

18. Commission proposes limits for certain non-dioxin like PCBs in fish oil
19. Commission publishes information on aquaculture disease free zones
20. Commission publishes guidelines on aquaculture diseases and imports
21. Commission updates webpages on Ostreid herpesvirus 1 μvar (OsHV-1 μvar)
22. EFSA publishes inventory of data sources on emerging fish diseases
23. Commission issues guidelines on materials added to animal feeds
24. Commission re-approves Vitamin E as a nutritional additive to all animal feeds
1. The European Council approved the regulation setting out the TACS and quotas for 2011 fishing opportunities in EU waters and certain non-EU waters (including Norway, Faroe Islands and Iceland). It has also set out the fishing effort limits where such management measures are applicable, and fishing limits with the frame of certain Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (CCAMLR, ICCAT etc).
2. At the 6th International Forum on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing in London, 13 January 2011, EU Commissioner, Maria Damanaki gave a speech outlining progress with the EU's actions to eliminate IUU fishing, one year from the coming into force of Regulation 1005/2008. She reported that Member States have refused imports in 14 cases. In addition, 228 inspections of third country vessels were undertaken and 4,850 inspections were carried out under the Joint Deployment Plan, resulting in an additional 240 IUU infringements detected in 2010. Negative trade impacts of the regulation have so far been limited.
3. The Commission passed a Regulation excluding two areas of the Baltic Sea from the fishing effort limitations for certain fishing methods, due to the low levels of cod caught in them in the last reporting period (below a certain threshold, as certified by the EU's Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries).
4. Stop fishing notices were published for Spanish vessels establishing a prohibition of fishing for saithe in VI; EU and international waters of Vb, XII and XIV effective 07 January 2011.
5. The EU initialled a new 3 year protocol to the EU Cape Verde Fisheries Partnership Agreement to come into force from 1 September 2011. The new protocol foresees an annual EU financial contribution of EUR 435,000, with an unchanged reference tonnage of EUR 5,000 tonnes/year. Fishing possibilities have been adapted to 28 tuna seiners (currently 25); 35 surface longliners (currently 48); and 11 pole-and-line fishing vessels (un-changed).
6. The European Union and the Comoros signed the Protocol setting out the fishing opportunities and financial contribution provided for in the Fisheries Partnership Agreement. The Protocol applies provisionally from 31 December 2010.
7. The Commission has threatened Estonia, Greece, Finland and Malta with action in the European Court of Justice if they continue to fail to comply with EU legislation requiring them to draw up marine strategies to protect their seas. All Member States were required to transpose the Marine Strategy Framework Directive into national legislation by the 15 July 2010. The four countries were given two months notice to comply before the Commission has indicated it will commence infringement procedures.
8. DG Environment announced the extension of Natura 2000, Europe's network of protected areas, to include the addition of 17,500 km² of marine areas, aimed at protecting endangered marine species such as salmon and sea otters. Natura 2000 now covers almost 18% of the EU's landmass and more than 130,000 km² of its seas. The main countries involved in this latest expansion are the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Spain and Poland.
1. Rapid alerts were notified by the Commission in respect of failure to comply with health conditions for 2 consignments of bivalve molluscs, 7 consignments of cephalopods, 8 consignments of crustaceans, and 16 consignments of fish and fish products, including from Chile (pink clams), Uruguay (frozen squid tubes, frozen grilled squid, frozen squid, frozen squid rings), India (prawns and shrimps) and Spain (frozen chunks of amberjack).
9. The Commission passed a regulation setting out the detailed rules and procedures for the implementation rules of the Rapid Alert System for Food and feeds (RASFF), the EUs real time information system on food safety hazards (for example listing rejections at border inspection points). The measure requires Member States to nominate single contact points and maintain an internal network.
10. The Food and Veterinary Office of DG SANCO reported on a mission to Cape Verde in September 2010, undertaken with the objective of evaluating the control systems in place governing the production and placing on the market of fishery products, destined for export to the EU. The mission found that eight of the nine deficiencies identified in a previous mission in 2009, had been adequately addressed. However, no provision had been made for inspection of freezer vessels. There were also some deficiencies in HACCP inspection and official testing procedures (including the use of a non-approved method for histamine testing). The report recommended that these deficiencies be addressed before the controls could be considered as fully equivalent to those set out in EU legislation
11. The Commission passed a regulation amending the recognised testing methods for marine biotoxins in shellfish. The measure replaces the live mouse bioassay for lipophilic toxins with a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, which has now been validated under the coordination of the European Union Reference Laboratory. To allow Member States to adapt their methods to the chemical method, the biological methods may be used until July 2011.
12. At the 42nd Session of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene, held in Uganda in December 2010, the European Commission commented on the Proposed Draft Guidelines on the Application of General Principles of Food Hygiene to the Control of Viruses in Food. The guidelines indicate that most currently used food safety control measures have not been validated for their efficacy towards controlling virus contamination of foods. The Code considers the high infectivity and food transmission routes of enteric viruses, such as Norovirus and Hepatitis A, and the possibilities of symptomless carriers working in the food industry.
13. At the 42nd Session of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene, the Commission also commented on the proposed revision of the Principles for the Establishment and Application of Microbiological Criteria for Foods, pointing out that food safety objectives and microbiological criteria are quite different in function and content, and that to establish a sampling plan that allows a microbiological criteria to be specified to verify a food safety objective, the proportion of the lot sampled may be above the nominally 'acceptable' level.
14. The Commission proposed amending Annex II to Commission Decision 2006/766/EC which sets out the list of countries permitted to export fishery products to the EU. The Decision takes into account the last Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) inspection in Fiji in September 2010, which found significant improvements in the official controls of fishery product exports to the EU.
15. The Commission and Member States discussed an amendment to the Toxic Equivalence Factors (TEF) for dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in food, to bring them into line with new TEF values determined by the WHO in 2005. This will result in new maximum levels and action levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in food, which have now been finalised. An amendment to the Directive 2002/32/EC on undesirable substances in animal feed as regards dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs is to be proposed.
16. The Commission also discussed a recent RASFF notification regarding dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs found in shrimp shell meal from Morocco.
17. The Commission discussed a proposed maximum level for non-dioxin like PCBs in fish oil (to a proposed limit of 175 μg/kg). A draft Commission Regulation will be submitted in early 2011.
18. The Commission published a web page including all of the declarations submitted by Member States to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health (SCFCAH) in relation to the aquaculture disease free status of their territory or zones within the territory.
19. The Commission has also published a new webpage and updated guidelines setting out the requirements applicable to third country imports in Directive 2006/88/EC with regard to aquaculture diseases. In general terms, this means that aquaculture animals and products from both within the EU and from third countries must broadly fulfil similar animal health requirements before they can be distributed.
20. The DG SANCO of the Commission has extended its webpages setting out the legal basis and controls as regards measures to control increased mortality in oysters of the species Crassostrea gigas in connection with the detection of Ostreid herpesvirus 1 μvar (OsHV-1 μvar) which was detected in several areas of France and Ireland in 2008 and 2009. The page includes links to EU Member State websites with disease status updates.
21. EFSA has published the results of a consultancy study with an inventory of data sources relevant for the identification of emerging fish and aquaculture diseases in the European aquaculture population. The report is published on the EFSA website.
22. The Commission has issued guidelines to allow a rational and legally sound distinction between feed materials, feed additives, biocidal products and veterinary medicinal products, all of which may be added to animal feeds. The guidelines will assist operators and control authorities to determine which legislation is applicable to a given case.
23. Following the opinion of an EFSA evaluation, the Commission has passed a regulation re-approving Vitamin E as a nutritional additive to animal feed for all animal species. Although Vitamin E was first approved as a feed additive in 1970, Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 required that such additives be re-evaluated taking into account food safety criteria.

Implement an integrated suite of information systems to automate the application and processing of motor carrier credentials and enhance the State's electronic screening and roadside enforcement activities.
Like many states, Connecticut is confronted by an increasing number of commercial motor vehicles on its roads and limited state resources available to regulate them. The State also has a complex organizational structure with four agencies directly involved in the regulation of the commercial motor vehicle industry.
In September 2004, the FHWA released a case study titled CVISN Safety Information Exchange for Commercial Vehicles in Connecticut: Increasing Inspection Efficiency Through Wireless Data Access at the Roadside. This case study provides an in-depth view of the deployment of the safety information exchange components of the CVISN technology program in Connecticut. It describes successful practices and lessons learned in operations and management from the point of view of an early-adopting CVISN state. This case study emphasizes qualitative accomplishments and the firsthand accounts of CVISN developers and end users in state government and the private sector.

Поло́ний — радиоактивный химический элемент 16-й группы (по устаревшей классификации — главной подгруппы VI группы), 6-го периода в периодической системе Д. И. Менделеева, с атомным номером 84, обозначается символом Po (). Относится к группе халькогенов. При нормальных условиях представляет собой мягкий радиоактивный металл (согласно другим данным — полуметалл) серебристо-белого цвета.

История и происхождение названия
Элемент открыт в 1898 году супругами Пьером Кюри и Марией Склодовской-Кюри в урановой смоляной руде. Об открытии они впервые сообщили 18 июля на заседании Парижской академии наук в докладе под названием «О новом радиоактивном веществе, содержащемся в смоляной обманке». Элемент был назван в честь родины Марии Склодовской-Кюри — Польши ().

В 1902 году немецкий учёный Вильгельм Марквальд открыл новый элемент. Он назвал его радиотеллур. Кюри, прочтя заметку об открытии, сообщила, что это — элемент полоний, открытый ими четырьмя годами ранее. Марквальд не согласился с такой оценкой, заявив, что полоний и радиотеллур — разные элементы. После ряда экспериментов с элементом супруги Кюри доказали, что полоний и радиотеллур обладают одним и тем же периодом полураспада. Марквальд был вынужден признать свою ошибку.

Первый образец полония, содержащий 0,1 мг этого элемента, был выделен в 1910 году.

Нахождение в природе
Радионуклиды полония входят в состав естественных радиоактивных рядов:

 210Po (Т1/2 = 138,376 сут), 218Po (Т1/2 = 3,10 мин) и 214Po (Т1/2 = 1,643 с) — в ряд 238U;

 216Po (Т1/2 = 0,145 с) и 212Po (Т1/2 = 2,99 с) — в ряд Th;

 215Po (Т1/2 = 1,781 с) и 211Po(Т1/2 = 0,516 с) — в ряд 235U.

Поэтому полоний всегда присутствует в урановых и ториевых минералах. Равновесное содержание полония в земной коре — около 2 % по массе.

Физические и химические свойства
Полоний — мягкий серебристо-белый радиоактивный металл (часто относят к полуметаллам).

Металлический полоний быстро окисляется на воздухе. Известны диоксид полония (РоО2)x и монооксид полония РоО. С галогенами образует тетрагалогениды. При действии кислот переходит в раствор с образованием катионов Ро2+ розового цвета:

 Po + 2 HCl -> PoCl2 + H2 ^

При растворении полония в соляной кислоте в присутствии магния образуется полоноводород:

 Po + Mg + 2 HCl -> MgCl2 + H2Po,

который при комнатной температуре находится в жидком состоянии (от −36,1 до 35,3 °C)

В индикаторных количествах получены кислотный триоксид полония РоО3 и соли полониевой кислоты, не существующей в свободном состоянии — полонаты К2РоО4. Образует галогениды состава PoX2, PoX4 и PoX6. Подобно теллуру полоний способен с рядом металлов образовывать химические соединения — полониды.

Полоний является единственным химическим элементом, который при низкой температуре образует одноатомную простую кубическую кристаллическую решётку.

Изотопы

На начало 2006 года известны 33 изотопа полония в диапазоне массовых чисел от 188 до 220. Кроме того, известны 10 метастабильных возбуждённых состояний изотопов полония. Стабильных изотопов не имеет. Наиболее долгоживущие изотопы, 209Po и 208Po имеют периоды полураспада 125 и 2,9 года соответственно. Некоторые изотопы полония, входящие в радиоактивные ряды урана и тория, имеют собственные наименования, которые сейчас в основном рассматриваются как устаревшие:

Получение
На практике в граммовых количествах нуклид полония 210Ро синтезируют искусственно, облучая металлический 209Bi тепловыми нейтронами в ядерных реакторах. Получившийся 210Bi за счёт β-распада превращается в 210Po. При облучении того же изотопа висмута протонами по реакции

 209Bi + p → 209Po + n

образуется самый долгоживущий изотоп полония 209Po.

В реакторах с жидкометаллическим носителем в качестве теплоносителя может применяться эвтектика свинец-висмут. Такой реактор, в частности, был установлен на подводной лодке К-27. В активной зоне реактора висмут может переходить в полоний.

Микроколичества полония извлекают из отходов переработки урановых руд. Выделяют полоний экстракцией, ионным обменом, хроматографией и возгонкой.

Металлический Po получают термическим разложением в вакууме сульфида PoS или диоксида (PoO2)x при 500 °C.

Более 95 % мирового производства полония-210 приходится на Россию, однако практически весь он поставляется в США, где используется в основном для производства промышленных и бытовых антистатических ионизаторов воздуха.

На 2006 год, по утверждению британского учёного и писателя Джона Эмсли, в год производилось около 100 граммов 210Ро.

Стоимость
По данным британских экспертов, микроскопические дозы полония-210 стоят миллионы долларов США. С другой стороны, согласно утверждению радиохимика, д. х. н. Б. Жуйкова, получаемый из висмута полоний-210 очень дёшев. Согласно данным на 2006 год, за производство 9,6 граммов полония-210 заводу «Авангард» платили порядка 10 миллионов рублей, что сопоставимо со стоимостью трития. Однако, американская компания United Nuclear, получающая изотоп из России, на 2006 год продавала образцы по цене 69 USD, утверждая, что для накопления смертельной дозы потребовалось бы более 1 миллиона долларов.

Применение
Полоний-210 в сплавах с бериллием и бором применяется для изготовления компактных и очень мощных нейтронных источников, практически не создающих γ-излучения (но короткоживущих ввиду малого времени жизни 210Po: Т1/2 = 138,376 суток) — альфа-частицы полония-210 рождают нейтроны на ядрах бериллия или бора в (α, n)-реакции. Это герметичные металлические ампулы, в которые заключена покрытая полонием-210 керамическая таблетка из карбида бора или карбида бериллия. Такие нейтронные источники легки и портативны, совершенно безопасны в работе и очень надёжны. Например, советский нейтронный источник ВНИ-2 представляет собой латунную ампулу диаметром 2 и высотой 4 сантиметра, ежесекундно излучающую до 90 миллионов нейтронов.

Полоний-210 часто применяется для ионизации газов (в частности, воздуха). В первую очередь ионизация воздуха необходима для борьбы со статическим электричеством (на производстве, при обращении с особо чувствительной аппаратурой). Например, для прецизионной оптики изготавливаются кисточки удаления пыли. Для окраски автомобилей в гаражах используются пульверизаторы с подачей воздуха, проходящего через антистатический ионизатор с полонием («ионную пушку»). Другое, уже ушедшее в прошлое применение эффекта ионизации газа — в электродных сплавах автомобильных свечей зажигания для уменьшения напряжения возникновения искры.

Важной областью применения полония-210 является его использование в виде сплавов со свинцом, иттрием или самостоятельно для производства мощных и весьма компактных источников тепла для автономных установок, например, космических. Один кубический сантиметр полония-210 выделяет около  тепла. Эта мощность весьма велика, она легко приводит полоний в расплавленное состояние, поэтому его сплавляют, например, со свинцом. Хотя эти сплавы имеют заметно меньшую энергоплотность (), тем не менее, они более удобны к применению и безопасны, так как полоний-210 испускает почти исключительно альфа-частицы, а их проникающая способность и длина пробега в плотном веществе минимальны. Например, у советских самоходных аппаратов космической программы «Луноход» для обогрева приборного отсека применялся полониевый обогреватель.

Полоний-210 может послужить в сплаве с лёгким изотопом лития (6Li) веществом, которое способно существенно снизить критическую массу ядерного заряда и послужить своего рода ядерным детонатором. Кроме того, полоний пригоден для создания компактных «грязных бомб» и удобен для скрытной транспортировки, так как практически не испускает гамма-излучения. Изотоп испускает гамма-кванты с энергией 803 кэВ с выходом только 0,001 % на распад.

Полоний является стратегическим металлом, должен очень строго учитываться, и его хранение должно быть под контролем государства ввиду угрозы ядерного терроризма.

Токсичность
Полоний-210 обладает особо высокой радиотоксичностью и является канцерогеном, имеет период полураспада 138 дней 9 часов. Его удельная активность (166 ТБк/г, тепловыделение 148 Вт/г) настолько велика, что, хотя он излучает только альфа-частицы, брать его руками нельзя, поскольку результатом будет лучевое поражение кожи и, возможно, всего организма: полоний довольно легко проникает внутрь сквозь кожные покровы. Он опасен и на расстоянии, превышающем длину пробега альфа-частиц, так как его соединения саморазогреваются из-за очень сильного удельного тепловыделения и переходят в аэрозольное состояние. ПДК в водоёмах и в воздухе рабочих помещений 11,1 Бк/л и 7,41 Бк/м3. Поэтому работают с полонием-210 только в герметичных боксах. Опасны также и все соединения полония, наиболее токсичным из которых является полоноводород.

Положительно заряженные альфа-частицы, излучаемые полонием, не проходят через кожу, однако при попадании полония внутрь организма, — если его проглотить или вдохнуть, — альфа-частицы необратимо вызовут опасные радиобиологические эффекты внутри организма человека (в первую очередь они обусловлены радиолизом воды), что может привести к мутациям, развитию злокачественных заболеваний (среди них — лейкоз), нарушению кроветворения и гибели.

По оценке специалистов, летальная доза полония-210 для взрослого человека оценивается в пределах от 0,1—0,3 ГБк (0,6—2 мкг) при попадании изотопа в организм через лёгкие до 1—3 ГБк (6—18 мкг) при попадании в организм через пищеварительный тракт.

Более долгоживущие полоний-208 (период полураспада 2,898 года) и полоний-209 (период полураспада 103 года) обладают несколько меньшей радиотоксичностью на единицу массы, обратно пропорционально периоду полураспада. Сведений о радиотоксичности других, короткоживущих изотопов полония мало. В организме человека полоний ведёт себя подобно своим химическим гомологам, селену и теллуру, концентрируется в печени, почках, селезёнке и костном мозге. Период полувыведения из организма − от 30 до 50 дней, выделяется в основном через почки. Были сообщения об успешном использовании 2,3-димеркаптопропанола для выведения полония из организма крыс — 90 % животных, которым внутривенно вводилась смертельная доза полония-210 (9 нг/кг массы тела), выжили, тогда как в контрольной группе все крысы погибли в течение полутора месяцев.

Случаи отравления полонием-210
 Смерть Александра Литвиненко в 2006 году, который скончался в результате отравления полонием-210.
 Полоний был обнаружен в личных вещах Ясира Арафата, который скончался в 2004 году. Проведена эксгумация тела. Первоначально швейцарская сторона международной комиссии подтвердила факт отравления полонием. Однако позже согласилась с выводами российской и французской стороны об отсутствии доказательств отравления.

Содержание полония в продуктах
Полоний-210 в небольших количествах находится в природе и накапливается табаком, вследствие чего является одним из заметных факторов, который наносит вред здоровью курильщика. Другие природные изотопы полония распадаются очень быстро, поэтому не успевают накапливаться в табаке. «Производители табака обнаружили этот элемент более 40 лет назад, попытки удалить его были безуспешны», — говорится в статье 2008 года исследователей из американского Стэнфордского университета и клиники Майо в Рочестере.

Racism can be like wallpaper. It is just there. Accentuating the space, defining its partitions. In how many ways could a pattern be described?
I would rather not write about it. I am as tired of it as others might be of hearing from me, and people like me, about it. This is the claustrophobia it engenders.
It is true that not everything is about race; there are class and gender. Words are still only words on the scale of bad things that happen to people, and there are arguably more pressing issues than majority-minority panics about (white) identity. I would prefer not to lend racists attention.
The planet is burning. Life is unacceptably precarious: for children in detention, women in violent homes, disabled people on welfare, homeless teenagers. The federal government handed almost half a billion dollars to a foundation with six full-time staff, unsolicited and without competitive tender nor due diligence. These are things worth attention.
But this is how racism works: it displaces focus from material problems to imagined threats. It reframes complex problems for political capital and sometimes violent ends. That is the point when it stops being just wallpaper but also the scaffold. Not decoration, but a cage.
I live in the outer west suburbs of Melbourne, where people have converged from places like China, India, Myanmar, the Philippines, New Zealand and South Sudan. This mix becomes apparent during school pick-ups. The bell would ring, then a chattering swell as students pass the gate.
I picture this and other scenes when the rhetoric turns heated. The tall, slender mums pushing prams. The girls in hijab behind the fastfood counter. The bearded men reading the newspaper at the library.
"I did not realise that I had been holding myself together until Anning's speech. But in a momentary lapse, I let myself feel the bewildered resentment that comes with having to be resilient."
Some distance from the tumult of so-called debate, what becomes clear is that people just want to live their lives. Nothing much more profound than this can be extracted from the mundane. They do not mean to make others panic.
Yet they will not be left alone. In the past month, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton were still insisting that there is an African gang crisis in Victoria. Multicultural affairs minister Alan Tudge mulled strict tests for non-English speaking migrants, based on the mistaken belief that they fail to 'integrate'.
In the same period, Sky News ran a soft interview with a Hitler-loving ethno-nationalist. Media personality Andrew Bolt asserted that 'there is no "us" any more, as a tidal wave of immigrants sweeps away what's left of our national identity'.
In similar vein, Queensland senator Fraser Anning declared in a chamber of Parliament that, 'we as a nation are entitled to insist that those who are allowed to come here predominantly reflect the historic European-Christian composition of Australian society.' He invoked both White Australia policy and the Holocaust in an unequivocally anti-Muslim speech.
I did not realise that I had been holding myself together until that speech. But in a momentary lapse, I let myself feel the bewildered resentment that comes with having to be resilient.
These things take up mental bandwidth, and with enough years being made to feel like my presence here is permanently conditional despite citizenship, it can take a toll. I don't have to be in the latest group being targeted; it is enough that every targeted group has been not-white.
It bears noting that dog-whistling, if it could even still be called that, is directed not just at like-minded people but at those it means to diminish and intimidate.
It puts the lie to rhetoric about integration. Politicians and commentators in Australia routinely characterise non-white Australians in terms that make them feel like they will never belong. Then having contributed to that alienation, use it against those they have alienated. That is also how racism works: like a noose.
Anning's speech was heavily criticised, though few who did so bear credibility. Turnbull, Dutton and Tudge can hardly be taken seriously when they invoke multiculturalism.
Pauline Hanson condemned Anning, even as she expressed interest in the idea of a plebiscite on migration levels. Cory Bernardi said he agreed with 'a lot' except that he knows 'there are phrases that are quite sensitive that can be exploited by your opponent'. Anning's party boss Bob Katter called his speech 'absolutely magnificent'.
This could all still just be wallpaper. Or maybe it is just time to tear this rotting house down and start over.
Hang in here, Fatima. Australia needs you!
I disagree with much in that speech - but it did not invoke the Holocaust - despite the use of a phrase that can refer but does not at all necessarily refer to the Holocaust. And it does not help by using subjective, offensive descriptions of those who have different, politically incorrect, views. And it does not help to associate with some of the statements in this speech those such as myself and a vast number of others who believe immigration here must be greatly reduced, or that there should be realistic, sensible discrimination as to who are admitted, or those such as myself who do not believe in the dogma of "multiculturalism", and those who believe the development of quasi-ghettoes in parts of Sydney and Melbourne is not always healthy. I meet and work alongside many fine Muslims every week - the majority- but I also know of the kind of thing that has not been uncommon in a nearby suburb with a Muslim majority : the posting of signs along a street telling of the coming Caliphate, the spitting on Christian clergy, the firing into a church window, the slashing of car tyres outside a church, the fire-bombing of the flat of a friend with a life-long disability. But few of the commentators live in such areas or working class suburbs (such as mine) and listen to people - not racist or extreme - who feel they too are silenced.
Penny Wong was her usual wonderful self. Malcolm Turnbull seemed for a moment to be a man with backbone. We were reminded that one man represents us in parliament only because he received 19 votes. Now, having located their ethical selves, will parliamentarians stop looking at climate change through the lens of power-bills and consider the future of this fragile planet?
Firstly, I hear you Fatima. Thanks for this article. Secondly, I'd like to offer a reply to John Bunyan. When we choose to catalogue the wrong-doings of a particular group of people and call for their separation and/or elimination we are journeying to a place of darkness. There is no place in a just society for racism and intolerance. Wrong-doing needs to be called out, it needs to the fixed in a way that leads to everyone in society being valued. Fraser Anning's speech was reprehensible and was rightly criticised by the PM and Leader of the Opposition.
"He invoked both White Australia policy and the Holocaust in an unequivocally anti-Muslim speech." This type of false hyperventilation is where you lose people. Yes, anti-Muslim which is indefensible, but the rest is just fake news. Nothing about people's colour and final solution reference tin-eared but undoubtedly just ignorance.
Anning's speech, along with Katter's endorsement, not only caused me shock and embarrassment, that they are fellow Queenslanders, raises a barrage of hatred and exclusiveness that in my opinion brings grave harm to our society. Fatima's article brings up the tears I almost shed along with anger at hearing Anning's words. And amazement when not a few parliamentarians rose to shake his hand?
A number of commentators have made the worthwhile clarification of the need to separate concerns within the wider community on immigration numbers and policy, fostering harmony in our multicultural society, national population size policy from the issue of discrimination based on race, religion and ethnicity. Discussion on the former to be encouraged, the latter to be condemned for the evil that it is. Lack of leadership or failures in national leadership creates the opportunity for those on the fringe of our political spectrum to inject their fears and hostilities into the broader debate, as we have just heard. Our leaders need to reclaim, through ongoing actions, the vision of a multi-cultural Australia. I find the last sentence , "Or maybe it is just time to tear this rotting house down and start over," needs to be clarified. As it stands it is open to speculation.
A few quick points. True, John, it could be argued that the phrase 'final solution' does not necessarily refer to the Holocaust, but that's the way that all dog-whistles work. The target audience knows that it does whilst the user can plead innocence. Secondly, John, that throw-away line of yours about 'work[ing] alongside many fine Muslims... but' sound a lot like 'some of my best friends are Catholics... but'. Thirdly, if you are so concerned about signs announcing the 'coming Caliphate', I presume that you would also object to 'Mashiach is coming' in Melbourne and 'Jesus is coming' signs in Queensland?
Totally agree Pam and comments like John Bunyan's should always be called out for what they are, divisive. To take them to their logical conclusion we should ostracise Catholics and limit their influence in Australian society because of the institutional and documented pernicious impact religious clergy have had on so many young people in Australia. As one of those documented survivors of such abuse, I certainly don't call for this. Thanks Fatima, I totally agree that people in public office need to show leadership and instead highlight the substantial contribution immigrants have made to every generation of Australians and will continue to do so into our future. Its so ironic that so many Australians are recent immigrants themselves and then want to shut the door on the next wave of migrants!
Anna, Senator Anning was not elected because he 'received 19 votes'. He is a Senator because because about 200,000 electors, in Queensland voted for Pauline Hanson's One Nation party and another roughly 200,000 preferenced it ahead of other candidates in the 2016 election. Anning may be a weirdo, but he is not there because he has the support of only 19 Queenslanders. That's the scary bit.
Another excellent article, Fatima - thank you, and I'm so sorry for what you have to deal with.
I can understand your frustration on hearing Fraser Anning's speech., Fatima. We live in a multiracial/multicultural society and speeches like this do have a negative effect on national unity. I was born during the last 2 years of WW2 and as a boy, I remember the bigotry from some Anglo Saxon Australians towards Italians, Greeks , Germans and some other groups of refugees. Bigoted people try to stereotype people from other races and sadly, all racial groups have such people. The claim that we are a white society and need to reintroduce the White Australia Policy is an incredible nonsense! The British Invasion occurred just over 200 years ago, but before that there was a 60,000 year period of Aboriginal occupation of Australia. The attempts at genocide by the occupiers caused a huge number of deaths and human suffering, but they did not succeed. I find it morally offensive when conservative politicians play on the fears of people who are nervous about multiculturalism and try to use this to gain a political advantage as some have done with Muslims, African ethnic gangs and asylum seekers. However, it is positive to see good people taking a stand and speaking out when politicians and others promote discrimination.
For those who would like to think that Senator Anning is just a frightful aberration that will go away at the next senate election, think again. The more than 400,000 electors who returned two One Nation senators at the double dissolution election in 2013 will be sufficient to return one senator at the next half-Senate election in 2016. Hanson herself will not be standing so it's quite possible, and arguably highly probable, that those 400,000 votes will be garnered and/or filter through to Senator Anning at the top of a KAP ticket.
Thanks for drawing attention to Senator Anning's maiden speech, Fatima. At least he didn't propose the Idi Amin solution. Given that across Western civilization, the self-important hard left subjects every public utterance to unrelenting censorship, I think it would be helpful if we were given a practical signpost to point Australia in a more acceptable direction. First, I suggest nominating a non-Western country (preferably a Middle-East country) from the 193 country membership of the UN that represents a practical example of community love and inclusiveness that Australia should accept as a model? Please just name one! Two years ago the author Lionel Shriver was virtually hounded out of the Brisbane Writers' Festival because she, a white straight women, dared write a black character into her work. Yassim Abdel-Magied, who enjoyed a highly paid taxpayer position with the Government, reportedly was asking, 'How was it that Shriver was allowed to speak? Rather than hyperventilate over Senator Anning's expressed thoughts, it might be productive to consider why such views find expression in the Australian community in 2018. I recommend reading a piece by Peter Baldwin, Minister in the Hawke and Keating Labor Governments in the Weekend Australian of 17-18 September 2016.
Dear Fatima, I sympathise with your distress and wish things were different in this country. When I was growing up we thought Australia was a fair country though we were still very racist without realising it. Now there are times when I feel ashamed to be an Australian, because of the attitudes of most of our parliamentarians.
I agree Brian b. that it 'might be productive to consider why such views find expression in the Australian community in 2018' and so I'm keen to read the article by Baldwin. But as the Weekend Australian is behind a paywall, perhaps you could give us a précis of the article or a free-access link to the original?
Barren trees produce no good fruit.
Ginger Meggs, to be honest I am unable to devote the time to constructing a precis that would do justice to Peter Baldwin's article. Many Australians have a mixture of left and conservative attitudes. Peter Baldwin positons himself as a moderate leftist in the social-democratic tradition. If the Eureka Street Moderator allows, I will outline some key thoughts of Baldwin: 'I think of regressive leftism as a mind virus, a paralytic disease that is severely inhibiting the ability of Western societies to properly debate some of the most important issues they face. It is suffused with self-loathing – severely condemnatory of 'white' post –Enlightenment Western societies yet prepared to overlook or apologise for the most egregious defects in other kinds of societies… Consider the enormity of the transformation Europe is undergoing (with the effective dissolving of the external borders with North Africa and the Middle East) and imagine how Europe will look in several decades if this continues. Yet Europe's elites seem incapable of conducting an honest debate about the implications since it would involve asking some tough questions about whether Islam, with its undoubted violent and supremacist aspects, is ultimately compatible with liberal societies. Some of Europe's leaders actually seem reconciled to the prospect of large parts of Europe becoming Islamised…..what prospects for gays'.

Q: I can't access the ArangoDB web UI I have installed ArangoDB on an AWS ubuntu EC2 instance and installed all the necessary ArangoDB packages.
However, I do not know how I can access the WebUI on port 8529, since when I enter http: // ip-instance: 8529 in the browser I receive an error.
Port 8529 is enabled in the security group of the instance. Do I have to execute any command in the terminal to be able to access the WebUI?
Thanks

A: By default (after install) the ArangoDB UI is only available to the localhost (127.0.0.1).
You need to make that public. Here's how:

*

*Edit the /etc/arangodb3/arangod.conf file, and change the endpoint option to:

endpoint = tcp://0.0.0.0:8529

This will enable access to the UI for any outside IP address. You can also set it to be available only from a specific IP address, or under a specific DNS name (you will see examples for this in the config file itself.

*

*Restart the arangodb3 service: sudo systemctl restart arangodb3
After that you will be able to access the UI from your computer.

Greek ambassador to China: Our 'cultural DNA' greatly assisted our societies
by Athens Bureau
Georgios Iliopoulos, Greece's ambassador to Beijing, believes that Greek-Chinese relations will significantly improve, especially in the post-pandemic period, China Daily reported.
"The China-Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) Summit is useful in promoting multilateral cooperation, as we now confront not only the pandemic itself but also its consequences in our economies and societies," Iliopoulos said.
Georgios Iliopoulos.
The Summit was held via video link last week.
"The summit has confirmed the importance of the goal of common growth with benefits shared by all," said Iliopoulos, adding that inclusiveness, consultation and transparency were also reaffirmed as important tenets of China-CEEC cooperation.
Given Greece's extensive institutional experience in integrating the region into Europe and EU policies, Iliopoulos believes that it has the potential to contribute to streamlining and enriching the agenda of the China-CEEC cooperation, the Chinese outlet wrote.
Greece this year will host the 6th China-CEEC high-level conference on tourism cooperation and the 3rd China-CEEC experts' forum on intangible cultural heritage protection.
"This is a testimony of our will to engage in the China-CEEC cooperation mechanism in a constructive and effective manner," Iliopoulos said.
Iliopoulos also said that the two countries shared information and exchanged scientific data regarding COVID-19.
COVID-19 vaccine.
"This cooperation has demonstrated that we can all work together more effectively in fighting the pandemic on all fronts," he said.
"These cultural traits are somehow registered in our 'cultural DNA' and have greatly assisted both our societies and countries to defend against the dangers of this crisis," Iliopoulos added.
The Greek Ambassador also discussed economic prospects in the post-pandemic period.
"This should include measures on many fronts, such as supporting trade, SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), digitization, start-ups and the re-growth of service sector such as tourism," he said.
He added that economic recovery is achievable by coordinating policies wherever this may be possible, enabling synergies and partnerships, based on level playing field rules, reciprocity, fairness and market openness, with adherence to international and EU Law.
Noting that 2021 is the "Greece-China Year of Culture and Tourism," Iliopoulos expressed his hope to see more Chinese investments in both the primary and the secondary sectors.
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the Organization of the Year of Culture and Tourism in 2021 was signed in Beijing on November 19, 2020.
He also highlighted the need to enhance relations in tourism, education, innovation research, start-ups, and the field of culture and creative industries and audio and visual productions.
"Greece, being an important pillar of peace, security, stability and prosperity in its region, is looking today forward to ever closer and stronger ties with China," he said.

Sony's New 'Spider-Man' Movie Is Weirder Than Any Leak
April 26, 2022 James ForgeyEntertainment
This past week, a new "leak" purported to know where Sony was going with its next few Spider-Man universe movies. In addition to details about the already-announced Kraven the Hunter, Madame Web and Venom 3 movies, there were reports that they were attempting to do movies based on Silver Sable and Nightwatch as well.
And yet, sometimes, the truth is stranger than rumor.
Sony has announced its newest Spider-Man universe movie and it's not anything listed in that leak. It's far weirder, an El Muerto movie starring Bad Bunny.
Who? What? Why?
You probably know Bad Bunny, the explosively popular music artist that Sony will now tout as the first Latino actor leading a Marvel movie. His casting is somewhat weird to begin with, and yet the character he's playing is even stranger. El Muerto is a wrestler who has his powers passed down to him generationally. He fought Spider-Man and then eventually teamed up with him, and his comic appearances have been extremely minimal to the point where everyone is wondering why on earth Sony is making this movie at all. I literally don't think El Muerto has ever appeared in more than a scarce handful of Spider-Man issues…ever.

Again, Sony keeps making these random Spider-Man movies in order to not lose the rights to the universe, which will revert back to Marvel if they ever stop for any length of time. That's why we're getting three Venom movies, Morbius and all these other random villain movies, but Sony is struggling trying to figure out how to get their own Spider-Man in these films (presumably one will not appear in El Muerto either). Tom Holland is affixed deep into the MCU at this point and Disney is not going to want him to appear in movies like Morbius or El Muerto, certainly. There were rumors that Sony was going to try to get Andrew Garfield back as Peter Parker, but that hasn't happened, and the latest rumor says he actually has turned them down outright.
It's a bizarre situation but truly nothing has felt more random than this El Muerto announcement with Bad Bunny. I suppose the only thing that makes some moderate amount of sense here is that Bad Bunny has some interest in wrestling, as he has been at Wrestlemania in the past as a special guest star, but again, I would love to know how this got pitched, approved and announced, and what on earth this final film will look like. We're supposed to find out in January, 2024.

Q: Synchronising tables between two SQL Server databases At the moment I have Database_One and Database_Test, both SQL Server databases.

*

*Database_One represents my User's data that I shall not be modifying.

*Database_Test represents a replica of Database_One, but has test data that I edit whilst I am developing.

In the future I may have Database_Two, Database_Three etc as more clients use my program.
Currently if I need to add a column to a table in Database_Test, I would need to add it to all other databases individually, manually.
I would rather have a system where all databases are replicas of a master database, but have their own data. So that if I need to add a new column to a table in the master database, this is replicated to all others but the data is individual to each database (and therefore client).
Is there a method that lets me do this with SQL Server databases?
I should also add that these are SQL Server instances running in Azure.
I would also like this mechanism to copy the database structure, but not it's data, so that I can easily setup new databases in the future.

A: There is no built-in method to do what you want while maintaining discrete sets of data. Instead, I recommend building out a full deployment process using source control as your centralized location for your database and then automate deployments from there. It's how I've done the same thing that you're attempting. Further, it allows you to automate testing and validation prior to deploying out to your production servers. This free book I wrote covers a lot of the general process. For details we'd need to start talking tooling.

A: If we consider the simplest "deploy" procedure having the "_test" database as your main development stream with the final database structure
then a simplest "installation" of a new version ( like adding a column ) may be performed by using a simple SQL Schema Compare tool
your "_Test" database will be the "source" of the schema to apply to all your destination database
A database schema compare will find out and highlight all the difference and automatically prepare a SQL script to be executed to your target database
here a discussion about different schema compare, the one in visual studio is pretty handy, works great also on big databases.. and is already there!
What is best tool to compare two SQL Server databases (schema and data)?

A: I don't know, what's the best practice to do this task but let me brief mine practice as I found it easy and safe manual process
Physical file of every DDL and DML is saved in SVN and applied to every related versions upon every commit. For example, I already have the script of creating table named as test and now, I need to add one more column as category to it then my script in the separate file would be :
IF COL_LENGTH('test', 'category') IS NULL
BEGIN
    ALTER TABLE test ADD category INT
END
GO

The script file is now saved in the SVN Repository and will be applied to the every version.

A: Microsoft publishes an add-in for Visual Studio called SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT).

SQL Server Data Tools is a modern development tool that you can download for free to build SQL Server relational databases, Azure SQL databases, Integration Services packages, Analysis Services data models, and Reporting Services reports. With SSDT, you can design and deploy any SQL Server content type with the same ease as you would develop an application in Visual Studio.

Source - MS Docs
At a high level; SSDT converts your database objects in source code and provides a mechanism to publish updates to your target servers.
SSDT is by no means the only software out there.  Other options include Ready Roll, form Redgate.
Choosing the right tool for you is just the start of the journey.  Delivering change in a fast, robust manner with the appropriate controls in place takes time and a lot of careful thought.  Luckily there are loads of people out there who can help.  Steve Jones (from SQL Server Central) appears on a couple of channel 9 videos about this very subject.  He's a big DevOps advocate, and well worth following if you like to learn more.

A: You can use elastic jobs to manage schema changes and all tenant databases. Please examine a sample application here. that make changes to all tenant database schemas and data.
You can put all your tenant databases on an elastic pool and use Elastic Database jobs to ease managing large sets of databases and allow execution of Transact-SQL (T-SQL) scripts across all databases in a pool. Read more here.


Glad you made it Steve, looking forward to picking your brain a little.
awesome steve! Welcome to our new "home"
Yes, glad to have you here steve. I've read your posts on a couple other boards.
Make sure you put this new site in your favorites motorsportsvillage.com , oh and you can delete that other one...what was the name of that place?
big trouble forum wasnt it?
Nice to see you here steve, I also read a couple of your posts on the other site..
good to have a good trans guy on the board too.
Steve - I see you are just up the road (I380) from me. Hopefully I'll get to see you at the races. Like the 331! Used to run one several years ago.
I wouldnt call it tiny. I have a 305.
Good to have you here Steve. There are a couple of us here that build our own Glides, I know Barry does his own and so do I. I'm sure we'll have some questions for ya along the way. It will be good to get some fresh ideas on stuff.
I built my first Glide back in the late 80s. I've done a few for some local racers over the years but now mostly only fool with my own stuff as I've gotten REAL lazzy since I retired. I've done a couple of TH350s too but there's not that much demand for those any more, at least not around here.
I've got a questiond for you. I read an article some years back where the author noted some HP requirements for turning some different transmissions. I've searched and searched and I've never been able to find it again but there were some interesting statistics on power requirements to turn the different transmissions. Do you know of or have any written facts on horsepower requirements to turn the different automatics? The figures I saw before stated that it only took about 6 HP to turn a Glide, about 25HP to turn a TH350 and a big number of 38HP to turn a C-6 Ford. I had someone not too long ago question where that info came from and for the life of me I haven't been able to find the origin of those figures. An interesting note though. All of the local guys I've built Glides for to replace TH350s usually run .2 quicker and a couple of MPH fater, which would support the HP figures I remember.
Transman, are all th400 cases the same length, the case minus the tailshaft. I'm asking because I have a caddy500 and th400 to replace a blown 454 and th400 in a willys 4x4 project.

Q: Docker options to remove host mounted named volume My volume is defined like below: How can I remove that host mounted named volume ? docker volume prune or rm or docker-compose down -v only deletes the volume from /docker/lib/volumes dir but doesn't delete from the host where it was mounuted ?
volumes:
  drupal:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: bind
      device: $PWD/code/drupal
      o: bind

A: There are no commands in docker for deleting volumes which are not managed by docker. You will have to use usual os command(rm -rf) to remove them.
You can use below command to get the container id, source directory and destination directory of all the containers that are running with Volume Type "Bind" which is managed by you. After checking the output you decide what you want to do with the directories
[root@localhost~]# for id in $(docker ps -q); do docker inspect ${id} | jq '.[] | select(.Mounts[].Type=="bind") | [.Id, .Mounts[].Source, .Mounts[].Destination]'; done
[
  "c758b5ea72406d4912741002bcbef25ea7f05b55f8b5863d82c81a046292b12b",
  "/mnt",
  "/mnt1"
]

where,
Container id = c758b5ea72406d4912741002bcbef25ea7f05b55f8b5863d82c81a046292b12b
Source Directory which is Mounted on Host = /mnt
Target Directory which is Mounted on container = /mnt1

Following on from Allen White's newly introduced tradition of putting "Hello World" into your first blog title I thought I would do the same. Whilst Allen's post concentrated on his move to SQL Sentry, I covered this on my personal blog a little while back in a post entitled Career Progression. In this post I wanted to talk a little more about some of the things I will be doing next month.
The World Tour aspect to the title is quite apt as I will be speaking at two events: SQL Relay in the UK and the PASS Summit in the USA, so there will be a fair amount of international traveling involved.
Ensuring peak SQL Server performance isn't always easy and requires a lot of work on the part of the DBA. To maintain the best possible performance, you need to make sure you're monitoring the right things. But how do you know if the figures you're seeing are good or bad? Baseline comparisons can help.
This session shows you how to get the most from them. We explain what a baseline is, why and when you need to take one, and how you can create one. You also learn about native Windows and SQL Server tools that enable you to do just that. Don't wait for a disaster to fully realize the importance of baselining.
As you can imagine, October is going to be pretty full on as there are also a further two sponsor sessions and two half day seminars as part of SQL Relay. These will be presented in conjunction with John Martin (b|t) and Kevin Kline (b|t).
It would be great if you could drop by to say Hi.


Remarks: This sought-after choice property is located just outside of the town of Heron, MT situated between the breathtaking Cabinet and Bitterroot Mountains in majestic western Montana and bordering Idaho. This quaint, rural community is nestled along the enticing Clark Fork River in Sanders County. The welcoming, comfortable ranch style home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a great shop for storing all of those recreational toys you will be using. An inviting hunting treehouse is tucked within the property allowing for prime hunting of bear, elk and deer not only on the property but on the Forest Service Land just minutes away. This is an impressive get-away with endless recreational opportunities including the nearby Jack Nicklaus designed world class golf course, the famous Schweitzer Mountain Ski Area, fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, horseback riding, and so much more. The 147 acre property borders the Cabinet Gorge Reservoir, which is a 3,000 acre impoundment on the lower Clark Fork River which extends from the Idaho border upstream to the town of Noxon, Montana. This narrow water body is located below the rugged peaks of the Cabinet Mountains to the north, and provides a scenic fishery for warm and cool water species such as Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, and Largemouth Bass. There are four developed public boat launches which provide anglers access to the reservoir.
