Day 2 - 3
After a delicious breakfast, you will depart Arusha with your guide to Tarangire National Park. Enjoy a game drive in Tarangire National Park and a picnic lunch in a scenic area en-route to Lemala Mpingo Ridge, where you will arrive in time for dinner. You will spend 2 nights enjoying all that Tarangire has to offer.
Tarangire National Park is one of the lesser-known game reserves in Tanzania and is an often-overlooked gem, offering a great number and diversity of wildlife. The Park is famous for its high density of elephants and baobab trees and is a bird-watchers Mecca, being home to more than 500 species of birds. During the dry season, the Tarangire River draws in great herds of elephant, buffalo, antelope and other plains game, and lion and other predators are frequently spotted. Tarangire National Park's proximity to Arusha, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Serengeti National Park make it an ideal add-on or stopover to a Tanzanian itinerary
Guests have the option of enjoying a full day game drive in Tarangire National Park with a packed picnic lunch, or they can choose to split the day into two half-day game drives and enjoy a leisurely lunch at the property.
Lemala Mpingo Ridge
Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge
Situated on top of an escarpment, Lemala Mpingo Ridge offers panoramic views across Tarangire National Park and the valley below. Lemala Mpingo Ridge boasts 15 spacious tented suites which feature en-suite bathrooms, private decks, sunken outside lounges that convert to afternoon siesta beds and a private outside bathtub. The elevated
main lodge has a lounge and bar, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a spa, and swimming pool.
Each of the 15 spacious tented suites have been carefully positioned to maximize not only the sensational views over Tarangire but to also take advantage of cooling breezes during hot weather. A special feature is the private outside bathtub—perfect for soothing the soul and washing away the African dust after a day on safari.
After breakfast, you will depart Tarangire and enjoy a game drive in Lake Manyara National Park en-route to Karatu, where you will spend two nights at Gibb's Farm.
Located 130km west of Arusha, this park is 325 sq kms, of which 230 sq kms are the lake itself. Situated at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the park consists of forest, woodland, grassland, and swamps. This is the home of the famous tree-climbing lions as well as baboon, buffalo, zebra, hippo, giraffe; wildebeest, and more than 350 species of bird, including the beautiful flamingo.
After an early breakfast, you will depart for a full day game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater. You will enjoy a packed picnic lunch at a scenic area in the crater. Arrive back at Gibbs Farm in time for dinner.
Few things in Tanzania compare to the breathtaking natural beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater. Widely regarded as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" and a Unesco World Heritage Site, this collapsed volcanic caldera covers an area of 8300 square kilometres and encompasses several different ecosystems.
Gibb's Farm
Gibb's Farm
Gibb's Farm is located on the forested outside slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater in Northern Tanzania, overlooking the centuries old Great Rift Valley. It is the ideal base from which to explore the Crater and Lake Manyara.
Each day at Gibb's Farm follows a gentle rhythm. Discover a sanctuary for the senses to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul. A destination in itself and sanctuary for safari goers, take time to immerse in the sense of wellbeing at Gibb's Farm.
This historic organic farm and family coffee plantation covers over 80 acres on the forested outer slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater. Share in the eternal sense of history and community with two-family houses and seventeen cottages.
Discover a sense of wellbeing, tranquillity and history, deeply rooted in East African culture and community, a welcome retreat for a few days' respite while on safari or extended vacation.
Beautiful architectural details, such as the farmhouse's original wooden beams and colourful artworks, are inspired by local African artists. The farm's organic vegetable and terraced flower gardens provide a wonderful setting for afternoon tea or a quiet walk to impart a sense of contentment.
After an early breakfast, you will be transferred to Manyara airstrip where you will say good-bye to your guide. Enjoy a scenic scheduled flight to Mwiba airstrip. Upon arrival at Mwiba Airstrip, you will be met by a representative of Serien's Serengeti South Camp and enjoy a scenic game drive en-route to the camp for lunch. After lunch, you can enjoy a late afternoon game drive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before arriving back in time for dinner.
The Southern Serengeti is made up of vast endless short grass plains that stretch southwards from Naabi Hill and extends through the extinct volcanoes of the Ngorongoro Highlands all the way to the dramatic Gol Mountains. These plains are at their best between December and May when the annual Great Migration pass through with millions of wildebeest searching for lush, green grazing and to give birth to their calves. The Southern Serengeti is the most fertile area, and its phosphorous-rich grasses make it the ideal location for the Great Migration to calve.
Serian's Serengeti South Camp
Serian's Serengeti is a mobile camp, and from mid-December to May, we set up on the southernmost extreme of the Serengeti's short grass plains: prime position to spectate the wildebeest birthing season. Dramatic savannah storms sweep in nourishment and new life, and an innate primordial urge pulls the wildebeest to the site of their origins to reproduce. The plains literally come to life for the birthing season. Millions of gnus and zebra dominate the landscape, looking for the fresh green grass that follows the first rains – and to give birth to their young.
After an early breakfast, you will embark on the start of your 3-night Adventure Flycamping experience in the southern Serengeti National Park. Rove the spectacular countryside, climb rocky kopjes and sleep under the stars next to the 3,000ft rift that forms Lake Eyasi.
Today you head back to Serian's Serengeti South Camp for your last night in the Ndutu region.

A representative of Mwiba Lodge will meet you at the airstrip and transfer you to Mwiba Lodge in the Mwiba Wildlife Reserve. Enjoy a scenic game drive en-route to the lodge for lunch. After lunch, you can enjoy a late afternoon game drive before arriving back in time for dinner.
Mwiba is a 125,000-acre privately managed wildlife reserve. It borders onto Ngorongoro Conservation Area's western boundary and the very southern part of Serengeti National Park in Northern Tanzania. Originally part of the Makao Open Area, Mwiba reserve was established to improve wildlife conservation efforts. Characterized by rolling hills, kopjes, thickets, waterholes and (dry) rivers where pools form, its permanent water attracts wildlife all year round. It is an animal magnet when southern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro conservation areas dry out between July and November each year.
Day 12 & 13
Tailor your day to include the many activities on offer at Mwiba Lodge including private game drives in the Mwiba Wildlife Reserve, bush walks with a professional walking guide or experiencing rare cultural immersions with the Hadzabe and Datoga Tribes.
Mwiba Lodge
Overlooking a rocky gorge on the Arugusinyai river, Mwiba Lodge rises from the boulders surrounded by coral and acacia trees. Stretching out before you is a vast wildlife reserve vibrantly lush with colour-infused botanicals, 33 freshwater springs and a diverse array of wildlife.
Each of the 10 suites found at Mwiba Lodge are complete with private decks overlooking the rocky river below, large soaking tubs, outdoor rain showers, personal minibar and grand beds made for dreaming. The main lodge offers a jacuzzi moulded within the rockface as well as a pool overlooking the landscape, wistful living spaces, rejuvenating spa and gym, curated wine cellar and remarkable menus. An expansive pool is set on a rocky outcrop where guests can enjoy the resident wildlife that frequent the natural springs below.
Day and night game drives, bush walks, sundowners under the acacia terrace, bush lunches, and cultural immersions with the nearby villages are just a few of the magical experiences that begin here.
After breakfast, you will be transferred to Mwiba Airstrip where you will catch a scheduled flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival at Zanzibar Airport, you will be met by your driver and transferred to Zawadi Hotel where you will be staying for the next 4 nights.
Day 15 – 17

Vaughan Williams celebrated at this year's Festival
King's Lynn is proud of its associations with composer Ralph Vaughan Williams so it is fitting that 60 years after he conducted a Festival concert in St Nicholas' Chapel his music will be featured in four events at this year's Festival...
Vaughan Williams famously collected folk songs in Lynn pubs so it is wholly appropriate that his English Folk Song Suite should be included in the opening concert by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra at the Corn Exchange on July 17.
Two days later King's Lynn Festival Chorus will be in St Nicholas' Chapel to present their concert, Vaughan Williams in Lynn. As well as his Five Mystical Songs and Three Shakespeare Songs they will perform the premiere of a special arrangement of Norfolk Folk Songs by Toby Young.
The four songs were collected in 1905 and are a sample of the folk song repertoire Vaughan Williams heard during visits to the Tilden Smith pub, later the Retreat, and to the North End and St James workhouse. Two of the songs are included in Vaughan Williams' Norfolk Rhapsodies.
The programme will also include Lux Aeterna, a choral arrangement of Elgar's Nimrod Variation, John Rutter's Birthday Madrigals, and exciting and accessible settings of Shakespeare songs and sonnets by the famed jazz pianist George Shearing.
Composer Toby Young and his work will also feature in the Contemporary Consort event on July 18 when Vaughan Williams Studies in English Folk Song will be performed.
Lesley Garrett's wide-ranging programme at the Corn Exchange on July 24 will include Vaughan Williams' Sky Above the Roof and The Vagabond. She will also sing classical favourites and numbers from great musicals.
Call the box office at the Corn Exchange on 01553-764864.

View source for Vibrio harveyi
← Vibrio harveyi
{{Curated}} {{Biorealm Genus}} ==Classification== ===Higher Order Taxa=== :'''Kingdom:''' Bacteria :'''Phylum:''' Proteobacteria :'''Class:''' Gammaproteobacteria :'''Order:''' Vibrionales :'''Family:''' Vibrionaceae ===Species=== '''''Vibrio harveyi''''' Synonyms: ''Lucibacterium harveyi'', ''Beneckea harveyi'', ''Achromobacter harveyi'', ''Pseudomonas harveyi'', ''Photobacterium harveyi'', ''Vibrio carchariae'', ''Vibrio trachuri''; (Thompson, 2002) ==Description and significance== [[Image:Vh1.JPG|thumb|Courtesy of Bonnie Bassler Lab]] ''V. harveyi'' is a natural inhabitant of seawater, though it has been documented mainly in the tropics. Unlike its close relative [[''Vibrio fischeri'']] it is free-living and does not form symbiotic relationships, but is a common pathogen to many marine organisms. In applied science ''Vibrio harveyi'' is an integral part of studying inter- and intra-bacterial communication, quorum sensing, as well as bioluminescence. Sequencing of the genome will undoubtedly contribute to further understanding of how bacteria sense the world around them and then make decisions based on their environment. ''V. harveyi'' is curved rod shaped, Gram-negative, and monotrichous (mobilized by a single polar flagellum). ==Genome structure== :The Microbial Sequencing Center of the Institute for Genomic Research is currently doing shotgun seguence research for the HY01 strain of ''Vibrio harveyi''. This research is in conjunction with a project to identify the genome sequence for 17 different Vibrio species enabling extensive comprehension of the Vibrio genus. :The Genome Sequencing Center of the Washington University School of Medicine is also working on sequencing the genome of ''V. harveyi.'' The center believes sequencing the ''V. harveyi'' genome is extremely important especially because of its unique communication skills, and the scientific community has agreed (read on). The website hosts a research status page. [http://genome.wustl.edu/genome.cgi?GENOME=Vibrio%20harveyi&SECTION=research] ==Cell structure and metabolism== ''V. harveyi'' is Gram-negative, therefore it has a cell wall that consists of two membranes: an outer membrane made up of lipopolysaccharides and an inner cytoplasmic membrane. In between these is a periplasmic space housing a peptidoglycan layer. ''Vibrio harveyi'' is a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can swap between aerobic respiration of oxygen and fermentation in order to produce ATP. This characteristic helps ''V. harveyi'' survive in low oxygen concentrations, if fermentable material is present. ''V. harveyi'' has the ability of bioluminescence, which is controlled by the regulatory gene luxR as well as population density-sensing (quorum sensing) autoinducer signaling molecules. Expression occurs when the enzyme luciferace oxidizes an organic compound releasing free energy in the form of light. (Showalter, 1990) ''Vibrio harveyi'' is known to regulate gene expression based on its population density. This is known as "Quorum-Sensing". This cell-to-cell communication ability is due to the release of autoinducers as a function of population in a given area and can occur between different bacterial species. Some examples of regulated activities based on quorum sensing include virulence, antibiotic production, biofilm formation, symbiosis, motility, and luminescence. ''V. harveyi'' actually produces two different autoinducer signals; one for intraspecies communication (denoted AI-1) and one for interspecies communication (AI-2). (Henke, 2004) ==Ecology== [[Image:Milkysea_miller.jpg|thumb|Courtesy of S. Miller, Haddock, Elvidge, and Lee]] The interspecial communication skills of ''Vibrio harveyi'' have major effects on the way the bacteria interact with the environment, whether it is luminescing, becoming virulent, or excreting nucleases for defense. Even though ''V. harveyi'' does not form symbiotic relationships, there is one well documented example of a relationship with another microorganism causing a phenomenon known as the Milky Sea effect. This occurs when large areas of the ocean are filled with luminescing "''V. harveyi'' living in association with colonies of the microalga ''Phaeocystis''." (Miller, 2005) ==Pathology== ''Vibrio harveyi'' is a pathogen of fish and invertebrates, including sharks, seabass, seahorses, lobster, and shrimp. Its pathogenicity depends on the concentration of ''V. harveyi'' cells at a given time. Diseases caused by ''V. harveyi'' include eye-lesions, gastro-enteritis, vasculitis, and luminous vibriosis. Luminous vibriosis is a leading cause of death among comercially farmed shrimp and other aquaculture. The infection, by ''V. harveyi'', enters through the mouth and forms plaques, then spreads to the inards and the appendages. Loss of limb function and appendage degradation has been documented. Contamination can spread all the way to egg and larval tanks, thus causing an even bigger problem for shrimp farmers. Luminous vibriosis has been documented in many other crustaceans all of which glow in the dark when infected. Mortality occurs when penaeid shrimp is exposed to a concentraion of ''V. harveyi'' at 102 cells/milliliter. (Lightner, 1993) ''V. harveyi'' is non pathogenic to humans, making it an ideal candidate for studying the Vibrio genus. ==Application to Biotechnology== The interspecial autoinducer AI-2, produced by ''V. harveyi'' could be a significant molecule in biotechnology. Analysis of the autoinducer could lead to developement of synthetic inhibitors of the communication pathway. This interference has the possibility to disrupt virulence factors, thus leading to novel antimicrobials. ::"AI-2 itself could well function as a broad-spectrum antibiotic that disrupts quorum-sensing systems in a wide variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens." (Federle, 2003) ==Current Research== Most of the current research on ''Vibrio harveyi'' is being done at the Bonnie L. Bassler Laboratory at Princeton. They are studying the effect of AI-1 and AI-2 signaling on virulence in ''Vibrio cholerae''. Recent research at the lab uncovered the regulatory mechanism for quorum sensing mode in these bacteria. The Bassler Lab also focuses and the development of molecules that are similar to AI-2 to be used as antimicrobials on bacteria that utilize the AI-2 system for virulence (such as cholera). ''V. harveyi'' is continuosly studied by various aquaculture protection agencies in the Bahamas, Asia, and the Philippines, focusing on its pathogenic quality and its effect on the worldwide supply of seafood. [http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~ear/sea-glow.html] As mentioned earlier, the sequencing of the ''Vibrio harveyi'' genome is in progress. ==References== 1. Austin B, and Zhang XH.

Q: In Python, I want to add a number to each element in a list, but I get [[0,1],2] instead of [0,1,2]. How to fix this? I have
listB=[[0,1],[1,2]]

listall=[0,1,2,3]

For each element in listB, I want to extend it to a length-3 element by adding a number that is in listall but not in this element. My desired output is the following list:
listC=[[0,1,2],[0,1,3],[1,2,3]]

As a first step, I tried the following code:
import numpy as np

listB=[[0,1],[1,2]]
listall=range(4)
listC=[]
for b in listB:
    difb=set(listall)-set(b)
    for i in difb:
        listC.append([b,i])
print(listC)

However, the output I got is:
[[[0,1],2],[[0,1],3],[[1,2],0],[[1,2],3]]

This is far from what I wanted. As each element in this output list has a subarray nested in it, also the numbers in each element are not ordered.  I need to at least turn it to [[0,1,2],[0,1,3],[0,1,2],[1,2,3]] first (and then get rid of the duplicates). What's the fastest (most efficient) way to achieve it? Thanks!

A: You need to unpack the items in b when creating the new list
listC.append([*b,i])

or if its easier to understand, add a new list with i to list b
listC.append(b + [i])

A: If you want to keep only unique lists (unique in the sense that the exact set of its elements are not found elsewhere in listC) in listC, then you might want to consider replacing
listC.append([b,i])

with
new = set([*b, i])
if new not in listC:
    listC.append(new)

Then the final output becomes:
>>> listC = [list(c) for c in listC]
[[0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 3], [1, 2, 3]]

Imagine going to a foreign country and walking barefoot 90% of your time there. What is the first thing that comes to your mind? Two weeks ago, I went to Myanmar (Burma) and although I have traveled to many different countries around the world, this was my first time going to a third world country. What brought me to Myanmar? My best friend is from there and I decided to pay her a visit. We flew in to Yangon, and then went to Bagan. Bagan is probably one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to.
In Bagan, there are many pagodas. A pagoda is a tower like structure made of stone, brick or wood, and is used like a temple. In Myanmar, the pagodas are more conical or pyramid shaped. In order to enter the pagodas, you have to take off your shoes and walk barefoot…what an experience that was! Honestly, this was something that I had a hard time with at first because there were so many stray dogs all over the place and we walked on dirt, on stone, on concrete and even over puddles of water, but eventually, I got used to it.
I started to focus on the overall experience of being barefoot and being that much closer to my environment, and that's when I really started to enjoy it.
I can still smell the shrimp being sold on the side of the stairs as we went up to one of the pagodas and I can replay the sounds over in my head of the people chanting their prayers in front of the pagoda. It was very hot in Bagan, and some of the pagodas were designed for this weather. I remember walking into my favorite pagoda and the temperature was cold, the ceiling was high, the space was dark…it was perfect. I remember stepping on the brick floor and it was so cold and rich with texture. I felt comfortable and relaxed. My senses were engaged and I enjoyed it very much.
On one of our days there, we woke up at 5 am and headed out to a pagoda. We climbed about 20 feet high and watched the hot air balloons over the sunrise. This was one of my favorite experiences. Hearing the sound of the birds as we climb very steep steps to watch the hot air balloons rise with the sun, seeing the excitement in everyone's sleepy face and just being there surrounded by nature – such a rich experience.
What was different about this experience is that not only was I touching with my hands, but also with my feet. Because we were climbing and walking on textured paths, I had to make sure that my feet were grounded so that I wouldn't fall. I felt the temperature change as I walked from material to material and place to place along with the textures and uneven paths. This is an important factor in design and a lot of times designers forget because we are so accustomed to wearing our shoes everywhere. When we wear shoes, we don't notice the transitions in our paths as much as we do when we are barefoot. This is also important for the blind because they have to rely heavily on different paths because thats one of their wayfinding methods. There is so much that our body can tell us, we just have to expose ourselves and become more aware of our body as a whole and not just rely on our eyes and hands.

This Sunday, at WrestleMania 35 women will compete in the main event for the first time ever. It's a watershed moment that is long overdue. Indeed, with an overabundance of talent available on the roster, the company couldn't afford to marginalize women's wrestlers much longer.
This salient decision came at a pivotal time for female athletes. Women all over the world are accomplishing more in sports than ever before. Finally presenting women as equals among their male counterparts is commendable. However, it's hard to praise WWE when it feels like some things haven't changed much at all.
It's tough to express this because this is a groundbreaking match, and the women involved deserve this opportunity. Still, it's a little bittersweet when coupled with the lazy way the company has booked the other women for the last few weeks.
Yes, the occasion is a victory for the entire division, as well as all the trailblazer who came before them. But even so, it stings to see Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Ronda Rousey elevated, while women of color are pushed to the background.
That isn't to say WWE should've put another woman in the main event just to fill a quota. But they had the chance to showcase them in the SmackDown Women's Championship match. Instead, they decided to put both titles up for grabs in a Winner Take All Match.
A long-standing criticism of WWE is that they don't book more than one interesting storyline involving women at the same time. This decision goes a long way to prove those cynics right. It feels regressive and it taints the positive message of the main event announcement.
Admittedly, that almost feels harsh, but it's impossible to reconcile both choices. WrestleMania 35 could've featured three women's championships matches for the first time in the event's history. What a missed opportunity.
If the idea is to present female competitors as equals, then they should compete in more than one meaningful match on the card. Furthermore, those positions shouldn't be allotted to the same women when the roster is more diverse than it has ever been.
That leads to the elephant in the room, the curious usage of Asuka. There has been much debate over the Empress of Tomorrow's first title reign on the main roster. Watching her drop the SmackDown Women's Championship two weeks before The Showcase of Immortals was emotional. It left fans rightfully questioning why it was necessary to do this seemingly at her expense.
On the surface, it seems like WWE did plenty to promote her as a massive star. Asuka won the first women's Royal Rumble, which granted her the opportunity to challenge Charlotte at WrestleMania last year. She eventually won the title in a match with two of this year's main event participants. Surprisingly, she beat the hottest women's wrestler in the company, Becky Lynch, clean in January.
That all sounds good until we take a closer look at what it did for her standing with the promotion. It always felt off that on the night of, and the following morning, that the news wasn't that an Asian woman won the first-ever women's Royal Rumble. No, everyone was talking about Rousey. Even more, when Asuka finally won the title she had to share that spotlight with Rousey again. It felt very much like she only won because Ronda interfered.
Considering those two incidents, we shouldn't have been that surprised when she was forced to drop the title. That's the crux of the issue here. The problem isn't that Asuka can't possibly recover from this and win the title again. It's that she has been an afterthought more than once in situations that prop up women who are already in the spotlight.
A new feud, and noteworthy match at WrestleMania, would've finally granted her a moment that wasn't tied to Rousey or Charlotte. Despite her list of accolades, she doesn't feel like as big of a deal because she is always cast aside so one of them can shine.
Similarly, she made Becky tap out and in the next few weeks, Lynch received airtime on both Raw and SmackDown. The reigning champion didn't appear on television at all. Losing the title after weeks of this was the metaphorical cherry on top.
That begs the question: how progressive is all of this if women like Asuka are relegated to the kickoff show so the main event will feel bigger? The problem doesn't stop with her booking either. Why were most of the women of color thrown in a catch-all battle royal, instead of showcased on the main card?
It's just disappointing to see privileged women take an opportunity from women who don't get big storylines. Moreover, it's hard to ignore that women of color are the ones who are getting neglected.
This isn't the first time white women have been positioned as the face of women's empowerment at WWE. A few months ago, Nia Jax criticized WWE on Twitter with the hashtag, #WeHereToo, for failing highlight the achievements of women of color. There was also the criticism among fans about the Evolution poster.
What makes this all so insidious is that it's coupled with accomplishments like the WrestleMania main event so it's hard to complain about it. Women are getting more favorable treatment with the company. However, WWE can't be lauded for equality until they make those opportunities more inclusive.
What do you think? Drop a comment below with your thoughts on the Winner Take All Match and the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal.

These charts relate the sources of Science and Technology organization's income among the three categories: Program Services, Donations, and Business activities. Together, they show how revenue is distributed among the top and bottom institutions in each category.
The first pie, for example, shows that the 10 CANs with the greatest income from Program Services average 77%. Those same institutions obtain 19% of thier revenue from Donations and only 6% from Business activity.
Similarly (in the second pie), the CANs earning the least from Program Services, 10% on average, earn 15% and 76% from Business and Donations respectively.
Go to related Sustainability page which lists the top and bottom 10 in each revenue category.
Also see the Perspective > Models page for deeper analyses of financial figures.
The 77% Program Services revenue is a bit surprising for this special group of institutions, about half of which are oriented to a particular industry or technology. The low Business revenue as compared with Arts institutions, for example, results from their lower endowments.
With links to particular technologies and industries, there would appear to be great opportunities for Business development.
The Bottom 10 have little Program Service revenue, instead relying on Donations, likely to be difficult going forward, whether from the general public or sponsors.
The Top 10 Donations earners, have little other revenue source, making them heavily dependent on donors and at risk if even a small number of donors shift their interest.
This is the flip side of the Program Services group above. The group can benefit from donations for longer term development, while enjoying current revenue from (possibly) diverse Program Services sources.
Because this group is tied more closely to larger organizations with parochial interests, they enjoy significant business income.
Without Business revenue, and with relatively small Program Services, this group must rely heavily on donations.

VALOROUS UNIT AWARD
Presented to
Troop C, 3rd Squadron, 5th Cavalry, 9th Infantry Division
Troop C, 3rd squadron, 5th cavalry, 9th infantry division distinguished itself by extraordinary heroism while engaged in military operations on 2 and 3 February 1968 in defense of Xuan Loc, the provincial capital on Long Khanh province in the Republic of Vietnam. When the enemy launched a three pronged attacked against the city of Xuan Loc during the joint North Vietnamese/Viet Cong Tet Offensive, the troop was deployed to the police station which was bearing the brunt of the assault. While traveling along the city's streets, lethal volleys of enemy fire rained upon the entire armored column. Unable to utilize their mounted weapons because of the narrowness of the roads, the undaunted members of Troop C, 3rd Squadron, 5th Cavalry, 9th infantry Division, fought tenaciously with their personal weapons and reached their objective without losing a single vehicle. They demonstrated exemplary courage and steadfast determination in driving the enemy force from the station before the communists could inflict many casualties upon the army of the Republic of Vietnam soldiers. The cavalrymen regrouped and set up three strong points at the north and south gates and in the center of the city. When the assailants attacked again, the fearless troopers saturated the area with a devastating volume of suppressive fire, driving the foe from the battlefield and wreaking death and destruction among the enemy's ranks. Through their relentless perseverance, singular bravery, and tactical proficiency, the troop's members were instrumental in the successful defense of the city of Xuan Loc. The men of Troop C, 3rd Squadron, 5th Cavalry, 9th Infantry Division displayed extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty which are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect distinct credit upon themselves and the Armed Forces of the United States.

The role of aerosols remains a major uncertainty for climate and climate change. For the direct radiative forcing by mineral aerosols, the uncertainty in the refractive index in has been regarded as the most important error source, while the impact of aerosol non-sphericity has been considered a minor issue and is neglected in climate models. Here, the errors caused by the spherical particle approximation (SPA) are evaluated by comparing radiative fluxes based on (i) Mie simulations and (ii) laboratory measurements of aerosol optical properties. Furthermore, they are contrasted with the errors related to the uncertainty in the refractive index. These two error sources are found to be of comparable magnitude, although they are strongly dependent on optical depth, surface albedo, and particle size. Thus, our results provide evidence that, contrary to common beliefs, the use of spherical model particles in radiative transfer simulations is probably among the major sources of error in quantifying the climate forcing effect of mineral aerosols. This stems from misrepresentation of the scattering phase function and the asymmetry parameter. Aerosol single-scattering computations based on non-spherical model particles are expected to reduce the shape-related errors and thus significantly improve the accuracy of radiative forcing simulations.

February and Heart Month are coming to a close, but obviously heart health requires constant attention. What are some tips you'd offer people about personal changes they can make to improve their cardiovascular health?
The biggest to me is to move. People need to exercise for exercise sake. The simplest place to start is to walk. The common excuse I hear is there is no time. So start with small time increments. Five minutes, three times a day is still 15 minutes of walking.
A person has to make a commitment to themselves. I also believe in resistance training. Making our muscles stronger makes them more efficientnt and decreases the stress on the heart that daily exertion might cause. Finding a way to incorporate resistance training into a daily program should also be a priority. The simplest movement I encourage patients to do is the 'sit to stand' movement. Sit in a chair, clasp your hands together and very slowly stand yourself up without assistance. This works the major muscles of the legs and if a person gets to the point they can do this 10 times with minimal effort, their walking distance improves.
In the end it's about investing in oneself and one's own health. Exercise is a key component to anyone's health. Of course before starting any program, especially if you have major chronic diseases, you should speak with your doctor or other health care provider.

Thank you for helping to make this years Heart and Sole Walk a success! We had 163 walkers come out on a beautiful Saturday for the event. With their help along with all the sponsors, we were able to raise $4667.00 which will be used to help maintain the 100 AED's in the community! Thank you for all your support and we look forward to seeing you next year!
This summer NEMO Heart Health has been partnering with the Kirksville Parks and Recreation Department to bring the Kirksville community a little joy and physical activity on these warm summer evenings. The Neighborhood Block Parties at Memorial, Jaycee, PC Mills and Brashear Park have reached out to the youth of this community to bring fun-filled activities while stressing the importance of being healthy and active. The last block party held at Brashear Park on August 2nd, lead to NEMO Heart Health's donation back to the Kirksville Parks and Recreation Department as a thanks for inviting us to work with them to serve this great community we call home!
Our partner, nutritionist Carrie Snyder of Snyder Nutrition Services, LLC, did a great job representing us! See what she had to say about NEMO RAAWKS.


The primary productivity test is a standard test to measure health of an aquatic environment. Students can use this lab to collect data on a body of water in their own area, then compare their data to that of the McMurdo Dry Valley LTER. Data can be found for the dry valleys on the McMurdo Dry Valley LTER web page either under the regular data or in the schoolyard LTER link.


It is chaired by Terry Hughes of the Stone Roofing Association. Alison Henry of Historic England is the secretary.
Enquiries about building stones should be emailed to the secretary. They will be passed to an appropriate member.
Stone has been used for building and roofing for many hundreds of years. Many of our historic stone buildings are protected by legislation to help ensure their survival, but they all deteriorate with age and erosion by the elements. It is important that these valuable cultural assets are repaired and maintained, and adequate supplies of suitable stone are essential.
Stone for repair and maintenance must be compatible with the original for technical reasons – the wrong stone can hasten future damage - and for aesthetic reasons – the wrong stone may harm the appearance of the structure. Therefore it is essential to secure stone from either the original source or a closely similar source. To do that we need to know where particular building or roofing stones were originally worked and be able to obtain planning permission to extract more stone when required.
Stone is also vital for new buildings. Many conservation areas include stone buildings and new development in these areas should be compatible, and so a supply of similar stone for construction is required. Even where there are no historic stone buildings the aesthetic appeal of new development can be greatly enhanced by the use of stone both externally and internally. Working stone for new buildings also helps to make quarrying operations economically viable in the periods between the sporadic contracts to supply stone for conservation.
Why use English building stone?
Many buildings in England were constructed using locally quarried stone because it was difficult and costly to haul materials for long distances. Other buildings used stone from good sources further away, such as Portland Stone and sandstones from Yorkshire, transported by sea, canals and later railways. Stone from Scotland, Wales and France has also been used in England. Ideally, supplies of all these stones should be safeguarded so that authentic material is available, whatever its origin.

The views of the English Stone Forum (ESF) are given, from time to time, in press announcements and presentations that have been agreed by the members. Other material on the ESF website that comes from other sources, and links to other websites, are provided in good faith to be helpful to all who are interested in English stone. The ESF is not responsible for the accuracy of such material, or for any problems encountered when visiting linked websites. It should be noted, in particular, that names and descriptions of stone accord with traditional geological and trade practices and do not necessarily comply with the most recent European stone labelling regulations. For example, "Purbeck Marble" now has to be referred to, in trade terms, as "Purbeck Limestone" under regulations that came into force in 2006. Failure to comply in trade is likely to result in heavy fines.
