The inland bearded dragon (aka bearded dragon), Pogona vitticeps, is an extremely popular pet, both here and abroad. However, wide availability does not signify that this lizard should in any way be "taken for granted" – it is a fascinating animal, and recent research has uncovered startling facts about it. As is true for even the hardiest of lizards, the bearded dragon also has very specific needs, which must be met if it is to thrive as a pet.
Younger hobbyists may be surprised to learn that this species was virtually unknown in the USA, even in zoos, not long ago. As a youngster, I knew it only from the occasional photograph, and longed to view one in the flesh. Today, the inland bearded dragon is a pet trade staple, with thousands being bred by hobbyists each year. Oddly enough, all pet trade animals seem to have originated from a small group smuggled out of Australia (where they are strictly protected) to Germany in the early 1980's. They are legal to own in the USA, but, technically…..
In 2005, researchers at Australia's Melbourne University discovered, much to the surprise of the herpetological community, that the bearded dragon has glands that produce mild venom. Apparently harmless to people, the venom seems to be holdover from the distant past. Bearded dragons are the only members of their family, the Agamidae, thus far known to produce venom. Several unrelated lizards, such as the beaded lizards, Helodema horridum, Gila monsters, H. suspectum, Komodo dragons, Varanus komodoensis and lace monitors V. varius, also produce venoms of varying strengths.
The inland bearded dragon is found in central Australia and in non-coastal areas of eastern Australia. Six additional species range throughout the continent and into New Guinea. It favors dry savannah and scrub, semi-deserts, rocky outcrops and open forest. Although a ground-dweller, the bearded dragon climbs well and uses rocks and stumps as basking sites and as platforms from which to launch attacks on insects moving about below. Diurnal, it basks at temperatures of 125 F for short periods and shelters in self-dug burrows during extremely hot or cold weather.
Although often passed by in favor of more brightly colored lizards, the sheltopusik, or Eurasian glass lizard, Ophisaurus (Pseudopus) apodus, makes an interesting, hardy and responsive pet. One formerly under my care at NYC's Staten Island Zoo is approaching 30 years of age, and still in vigorous good health. The captive record is 54 years (the longest, I believe, of any lizard), and longevities of 20-30 years are not uncommon.
Furthermore, the sheltopusik is uncommonly responsive (especially to those who provide its meals!) and accepts a wide variety of foods – pink (new-born) mice, crickets, earthworms, mealworms, waxworms, eggs, canned lizard diet and canned dog and cat food – to name a few. Cone-shaped teeth assist in crushing snails, a favored prey. After eating snails, sheltopusiks remove the snails' slime from their jaws by rubbing their mouths against the ground. In the wild, they actively forage for beetles, spiders, grasshoppers, caterpillars, mice, shrews, voles, ground nesting birds and their eggs, small snakes, lizards and their eggs, and carrion. Averaging 2-3 feet in length, exceptionally large specimens can top 4 feet.
Glass lizards, as their name implies, quickly autotomize (shed) their tails when handled or captured by a predator. The eastern glass lizard, O. ventralis, of the southeastern USA and Europe's slow-worm, Anguis fragilis (note the species' name!) are particularly adapt in this regard. Pet sheltopusiks usually become so tame that tail shedding is rarely a consideration if they are handled gently.
The black ratsnake, Elaphe alleganiensis, found throughout much of the eastern half of North America (even in NYC, on occasion, and its suburbs), is a pet trade staple. Hobbyists have developed a number of unique color morphs, including albino individuals, and frequently hybridize this snake with related species. Since so much is known of its natural history and captive care, I thought I would note here some recent changes regarding its relationships to similar snakes.
The taxonomy of the genus Elaphe is confusing due to a wide variation in the appearance of individuals of the same species, and to the fact that the various species and subspecies inter-breed where their ranges overlap (one reason for the ease in creating different color phases in captivity). Most snake enthusiasts grew up knowing the black ratsnake as Elaphe obsoleta, but that name is a now assigned to the Western ratsnake, with the black ratsnake being re-named as E. alleganiensis. At least 11 species of snake of the genus Elaphe are found throughout North America.
To add to the confusion, black ratsnakes living from North Carolina through the Florida Keys vary greatly in appearance from northern populations, being various shades of yellow and orange in color instead of black. Formerly classified as distinct subspecies, known as Everglades ratsnakes and yellow ratsnakes – both also quite popular in the pet trade – they are now considered to be merely local color variations of the black ratsnake.
The black ratsnake frequently shares hibernation dens with rattlesnakes and copperheads. In some parts of the country it is known as the "pilot blacksnake" or "rattlesnake pilot", in the mistaken belief that it guides rattlesnakes to their winter retreats. The largest individual on record measured 8 ½ feet long.
The diets that you provide your reptile and amphibian pets are of critical importance in maintaining their good health and longevity. Providing a balanced diet can be a quite simple matter for some species and, unfortunately, nearly impossible to achieve with others. Proper nutrition plays an important role in every aspect of your pet's life, from its ability to grow normally and reproduce to less obvious areas, such as the functioning of its immune system. Reptile and amphibian hobbyists today have a wide variety of both prepared and live foods from which to choose when formulating a diet. In most cases, this is a very good state of affairs. However, sometimes it has a tendency to make us a bit lazy — for example, is very easy to provide an insectivorous lizard with a diet based on one or two readily available food items when, in actuality, the animal may need a great deal more variety to maintain optimum health.
What I would like to do in this article is to present some general principles and ideas for your consideration. Please bear in mind that actual feeding techniques – how to present the food — will also affect the ultimate value of the diet that you provide. For example, the length of time between a food animal's introduction into the terrarium and when it is actually eaten will affect how much of its vitamin/mineral supplement coating will be passed along to your pet. Whether food insects will live or die within the terrarium, and how to keep track of the food intake of secretive or nocturnal pets will also affect the manner in which you must present the food. All of these factors, and many more, will be addressed in future articles. Until then, please contact me with your questions and observations on this subject.
There are two basic approaches to feeding reptiles and amphibians in captivity. One method is to identify one or two commercially prepared diets that provide all of the nutrition that your pet needs for a long and healthy life. This option is available to those who keep animals, such as tortoises and newts, that normally consume, or will accept, non-living food items. Animals that consume live prey in the wild will generally need a varied diet in captivity (one notable exception is most of the commonly kept snakes, all of which do quite well on a diet composed entirely of rats and mice.
Those who keep or observe frogs soon learn of their prodigious appetites. Surely the champion Anuran eater must be the African bullfrog, Pyxicephalus adspersus. Native to southern Africa, this brute is a popular pet, and with good reason – captive longevity is said to approach 50 years. Two animals that I know of, kept in separate enclosures by the same person, both expired at age 21, in the same week.
The most memorable "frog-eating footage" I've seen focused on African bullfrogs in the Etosha Pan, northern Namibia. One enormous animal swallowed a centipede of at least 10 inches in length, which bit the frog numerous times on the way down. Another frog latched onto an emperor scorpion, which also did its best to make itself a "memorable" meal. But a note I read in an African nature journal tops all – a huge male frog burrowed into an outdoor cage at a South African snake park and was, when discovered, in the process of swallowing his 17th baby spitting cobra!
All of this eating results, as you might imagine, in frogs of impressive proportions – a male at the Fort Worth Zoo measured 10 inches from snout to vent and 9 ¾ inches around – a near perfect circle! His weight surely topped 5 pounds, but I do not have the exact figure.
Our own American bullfrog, Rana (Lithobates) catesbeianus, offers its African cousin some competition. While working at the Bronx Zoo, it became my habit to toss crickets to the bullfrogs that had colonized a small artificial pond. The frogs became bold in time, and visitors enjoyed the show. On one occasion a bullfrog's leap for food brought it directly in front of another. The larger animal grabbed the smaller, who was fully three quarters his size and, in front of 50 or so second-graders, proceeded to jam the squirming neighbor down his massive gullet. I observed this fellow thereafter – his noticeably distended abdomen flattened out in two days, after which he again gobbled crickets with enthusiasm!


Sachin Jain is CIO- Global IT Operations and CISO at Evalueserve. He is responsible for all aspects of strategic IT planning, implementation, support and information security.
The role has a perfect place to understand the entire organization, business nuances, client management, risks, customer experience etc. in order to align technology roadmap with business goals. CIO plays a vital role in bridging a connection with the organization and technology. I like the role of CIO which constantly changes with challenge and create an ease of solving new business problems.
There have been many Aha moments in my professional journey over two decades. Best ones are when your efforts and initiatives get recognized both inside and outside the organization with the IT revolution.
As a CIO, I have gone through many situations where taking a decision was like make or break moment. All enterprise level change management programs fall in Tough decision making category. Convincing business and taking their buy-in have been the most important and toughest part of a change management.
Our organization has gone through major transformation few times in last 17 years of its existence. The latest being our positioning in the market as a leader to provide research, data management and analytics services using best of humans (mind) and best of technology (machine). We see more and more medium to large organizations going for automation in order to be more efficient and sustainable.
IT departments need to optimize their focus on customer experience based on business needs and changing technology landscape.
The role of a technology leader is going through a transformation already. With a shift in the technology landscape, where consumerization of IT is playing big the CIOs role is becoming more strategic and driven by business outcome. The role is often seen as a change manager who is helping business adopts the ways to improve productivity and be self-sustainable.
CIOs need to learn management agenda from businesses and need to run IT like an entrepreneur with high focus on customers success and involvement.
Stay Hungry Stay Foolish by Rashmi Bansal is the book I am reading these days. This book is a collection of 25 stories from IIM graduates who believed in their dreams and chose to be entrepreneur. The book helps in increasing our risk appetite and build more conviction in our thought process which are quite useful even in our current role as CIO where we have to deal with changing dynamics of the technology.

The Faith Presbyterian Choir performed Faure's Requiem on Palm Sunday Evening. You will recognize some of its most beautiful passages. We are not Roman Catholics and we do not pray for the salvation of the dead – such prayers are never found in Holy Scripture – but in almost all respects, the expressions of a requiem are perfectly proper and pious sentiments for any Christian to express in the face of death, which, after all, is the destiny of us all, unless the Lord Jesus should return before we die. In the few places where our theology requires a small alteration in the text, such an alteration has been made. This wonderful piece of music should be known to us all, it is a splendid example of what magnificent and timeless music has been produced for the church in years past, and we are sure you will be very glad to have heard it. It will, we are sure, prompt the sort of meditation particularly appropriate at the commencement of Holy Week.


While oral surgery may sound scary, it can greatly improve your smile. Discover all the ways that oral surgeons can make you smile.
Your wisdom teeth are your third molars, and many people find that these teeth get trapped between their gum tissue and jawbone and can't come in properly. When this happens, these teeth are considered impacted and they need to be removed with oral surgery. If your dentist in Frederick detects this problem with your wisdom teeth or another tooth, you will be referred to oral surgeons in your area to extract the impacted tooth.
If you're missing teeth, oral surgery is often the best treatment. Oral surgeons can replace these teeth with dental implants. If cost is a concern, ask your dentist in Frederick to recommend oral surgeons that provide affordable dental care options for dental implants.
Improper jaw growth can cause your jaw to be out of alignment; this can result in problems with eating, speaking, swallowing, and even breathing. Luckily, oral surgeons can correct these problems. Another jaw issue that can be corrected with oral surgery is TMD, which is a problem with the jaw joint that can cause headaches, tooth grinding, and jaw clenching. Serious cases of TMD can be treated with oral surgery.
If you experience facial trauma from an accident or injury, oral surgeons can repair and reconstruct your face and jaw. While this damage can be extensive and the oral surgery rather costly, many oral surgeons offer affordable dental care financing to help provide this vital care.

World Bank to support UCC-CCM as Africa Centre of Excellence in Coastal Resilience
By Abdul-Karim Mohammed Awaf on November 27, 2018
The University of Cape Coast's Centre for Coastal Management has been conditionally selected as one of the five new Centres of Excellence in Ghana under the World Bank's African Centre of Excellence (ACE) IMPACT III Project.
The upgrade of the Centre to the status of Africa Centre of Excellence in Coastal Resilience (ACECoR) will receive a proposed funding amount of US$5,861,700.00 from the World Bank and Government of Ghana to scale up and expand on its present focus on applied research, technical professional training and policy engagement to include short courses and postgraduate (PhD and Masters) education of Ghanaian and regional students in key new areas to address coastal degradation issues that are fundamental to economic growth of the sub-region.
The call for proposal, which was opened to all universities in West and Central African countries, was rolled out by the Association of African Universities (AAU) and the Regional Facilitation Unit (RFU) of the Africa Centres of Excellence (ACE) Project, with support from the World Bank, under the ACE for Development Impact (ACE Impact) Project. Funding for the ACE Impact project is from the World Bank and Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD).
ACECoR will give impetus for UCC to embrace more multidisciplinary approach to address the issues of coastal resources degradation by strengthening the resilience of coastal areas particularly in Western and Central Africa both biologically and economically.
Attention will be given to enhancing research and training of young scientists and the next generation of African professionals to be supported through scholarships, exposure to industry experiences based on internships and conference participation. The Project will introduce institutional Post Doc opportunities and will attract Post Doc's from within the region especially from Francophone Countries with priority on female candidates.
The research and academic programs will focus on Coastal engineering (design of adaptation solutions for coastal risk reduction); Forestry engineering for nature-based solutions; Maritime Meteorology and Ocean Hydrology Modeling; Natural Capital Accounting; Coastal Zone Land-use Planning; including issues related to Blue Economy and Social Resilience.
ACECoR was selected after an independent team of evaluators, consisting of members from in-country panel of reviewers at the National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) and other African educational and scientific community supported by diaspora and global technical experts, reviewed 105 proposals that were submitted to the RFU by higher education institutions from the participating countries. Proposals were subjected to several stages of evaluation, including (i) desk reviews; (ii) external evaluation by a subject matter specialist; and (iii) a site and leadership evaluation of shortlisted proposal sites to ascertain the readiness of the institutions in terms of governance, leadership and infrastructure.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder :: PTSD
Reliving Trauma: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Traumatic events that may trigger PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military combat.
Among those who may experience PTSD are military troops who served in the Vietnam and Gulf Wars; rescue workers involved in the aftermath of disasters like the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C.; survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing; survivors of accidents, rape, physical and sexual abuse, and other crimes; immigrants fleeing violence in their countries; survivors of the 1994 California earthquake, the 1997 North and South Dakota floods, and hurricanes Hugo and Andrew; and people who witness traumatic events. Family members of victims also can develop the disorder. PTSD can occur in people of any age, including children and adolescents.
Many people with PTSD repeatedly re-experience the ordeal in the form of flashback episodes, memories, nightmares, or frightening thoughts, especially when they are exposed to events or objects reminiscent of the trauma. Anniversaries of the event can also trigger symptoms. People with PTSD also experience emotional numbness and sleep disturbances, depression, anxiety, and irritability or outbursts of anger. Feelings of intense guilt are also common. Most people with PTSD try to avoid any reminders or thoughts of the ordeal. PTSD is diagnosed when symptoms last more than 1 month.
Physical symptoms such as headaches, gastrointestinal distress, immune system problems, dizziness, chest pain, or discomfort in other parts of the body are common in people with PTSD. Often, doctors treat these symptoms without being aware that they stem from an anxiety disorder.
Facts About PTSD
An estimated 5.2 million American adults ages 18 to 54, or approximately 3.6 percent of people in this age group in a given year, have PTSD.
About 30 percent of Vietnam veterans developed PTSD at some point after the war. The disorder also has been detected among veterans of the Persian Gulf War, with some estimates running as high as 8 percent.
More than twice as many women as men experience PTSD following exposure to trauma.
Depression, alcohol or other substance abuse, or other anxiety disorders frequently co-occur with PTSD. The likelihood of treatment success is increased when these other conditions are appropriately diagnosed and treated as well.
Treatments for PTSD
PTSD can be extremely debilitating. Fortunately, research—including studies supported by NIMH and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)—has led to the development of treatments to help people with PTSD.
Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, and exposure therapy, in which the person gradually and repeatedly re-lives the frightening experience under controlled conditions to help him or her work through the trauma. Studies also have found that several types of medication, particularly the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and other antidepressants, can help relieve the symptoms of PTSD.
Other research shows that giving people an opportunity to talk about their experiences very soon after a catastrophic event may reduce some of the symptoms of PTSD. A study of 12,000 schoolchildren who lived through a hurricane in Hawaii found that those who got counseling early on were doing much better 2 years later than those who did not.
Research is continuing to reveal factors that may lead to PTSD. People who have been abused as children or who have had other previous traumatic experiences are more likely to develop the disorder. In addition, it used to be believed that people who tend to be emotionally numb after a trauma were showing a healthy response; but now some researchers suspect that people who experience this emotional distancing may be more prone to PTSD.
Studies in animals and humans have focused on pinpointing the specific brain areas and circuits involved in anxiety and fear, which are important for understanding anxiety disorders such as PTSD. Fear, an emotion that evolved to deal with danger, causes an automatic, rapid protective response in many systems of the body. It has been found that the fear response is coordinated by a small structure deep inside the brain, called the amygdala. The amygdala, although relatively small, is a very complicated structure, and recent research suggests that different anxiety disorders may be associated with abnormal activation of the amygdala.
People with PTSD tend to have abnormal levels of key hormones involved in response to stress. When people are in danger, they produce high levels of natural opiates, which can temporarily mask pain. Scientists have found that people with PTSD continue to produce those higher levels even after the danger has passed; this may lead to the blunted emotions associated with the condition.
Some studies have shown that cortisol levels are lower than normal and epinephrine and norepinephrine are higher than normal. Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter released during stress, and one of its functions is to activate the hippocampus, the brain structure involved with organizing and storing information for long-term memory.
This action of norepinephrine is thought to be one reason why people generally can remember emotionally arousing events better than other situations. Under the extreme stress of trauma, norepinephrine may act longer or more intensely on the hippocampus, leading to the formation of abnormally strong memories that are then experienced as flashbacks or intrusions. Since cortisol normally limits norepinephrine activation, low cortisol levels may represent a significant risk factor for developing PTSD.
Research to understand these neurotransmitter systems involved in memories of emotionally charged events may lead to the discovery of drugs or psychosocial interventions that, if given early, could block the development of PTSD symptoms.

Sometimes I think one of the reasons I keep reliving the things in the past is because I don't/won't/can't forgive and it just eats away at my soul. I keep wallowing in the pain. I don't know if that even makes any sense. I wonder if I could forget if I truly forgave.
I don't think you have to forget, who could? But forgiving is a way of letting go and moving on, being open to new experiences.
This is written on a site:
"When you forgive it takes you from the place of a victim to that of a victor."

Do you have queries about air ducts? Find the answers to questions that boggle your mind. Learn which products are best for air duct cleaning, how to install duct wrap and when your dryer vents will actually need repair.
What are the chemicals or cleaning agents used for air duct cleaning?
Unless it is a problem with mold and mildew infestation, there are no special chemicals needed to properly clean air ducts. Dusters, brushes, a probing stick, and a vacuum cleaner would usually suffice to satisfactorily clean air ducts. Specialists at Air Duct Cleaning Yorba Linda suggest not using any liquid or water-based cleaning agents especially on metal ducts. Water-based cleaning agents can corrode the ducts or lead to mold growth if they are not properly dried off.
What are the steps in installing duct wrap?
Before a duct wrap can be installed, prepare the following materials: a clean towel, duct tape, tape measure, utility knife, and an outward clinch stapler. Clean and dry the duct surface that needs to be wrapped. If there are leaks, seal them first with mastic. Cut the wrap into the desired dimensions. Wrap the insulation in the same way adhesive tape is used but with each roll overlapping the other. Staple the overlapping wraps with the outward clinch stapler.
When will I need dryer vent repair?
Dryer vent repair will ensure that your dryer will operate without problems. Many fires originate from dryer vents filled with lint and dirt. Failure to cleaning a dryer vent would also result to terrible smelling clothes, bad operation and too much energy consumption. The frequency would depend on use according to Air Duct Cleaning Yorba Linda. Commercial places should do it every month but domestic dryer vents would also need to be cleaned twice a year.
Is it possible to visually inspect air quality?
Sometimes when the afternoon sunlight goes in the window, you can see floating dust particles through the Tyndall effect. Smoke is also a visual representation of pollution, so if you smoke indoors, you can expect your air ducts to have dirt particles.
Can mold be removed from the air ducts for good?
Yes, this is possible. When the leaks and holes are properly sealed and the ducts are well insulated, the risk of mold will be minimal. The installation of a UV cleanser in the HVAC system will also help to inhibit growth. This is a longer-lasting alternative compared to the addition of protective coating.


BathSeal Ultra 10 is the newest and most effective way of sealing your bath to a tiled wall and gives a 10 year warranty against mould growth.
By having a " solid profile" rather than the traditional "hollow" bath trims, the adhesion between the wall, the profile and the bath is maximised to give a longer lasting seal that is flexible yet strong.
End caps are provided to complete the installation and add the finishing touch to your bathroom project.
BathSeal Ultra 10 helps prevent damage to flooring, ceilings, plasterwork, timber joists and floorboards and stop those large repair bills from arriving unannounced.
It also works hard to eliminate the damp musty smells that often follow when bathrooms suffer water damage. Plus by using a high modulus antifungicidal sealant supplied in the kit as standard, it severely reduces the risk of black mould forming if cleaned regularly.
Purchased this item as we wanted something neat to finish our tiling around the bath instead of traditional mastic. The fisish of this item is superb & finishes off the job very professionally. Was easy to fit & the kit contained everything to complete the job. Service & delivery also excellent.
I was a bit dubious about fitting this product as we had quite a big gap around the top of the bath, but even for me, who had never used a sealant gun before, it was very easy to fit, even if I did get in a bit of a mess with the sealant!
This is a great product for tidying up the bath edge. Particularly useful where theres a bigger gap. Leaves a nice clean finish. I was also impressed with the delivery and value.
This does exactly what it is supposed to, after spending lots of money on sealants this has done the job properly. Very happy with product, although shipping was very expensive.
Third time weve used this product - theres nothing else as good on the market. Easy to fit and very long lasting.
Easy to fit ,looks good, quick delivery if it had been delivered to the right address.
The pack contains everything you need. The helpful film shows how to fit it.
Very good product,so easy to fit due to ready made mitres.

San Francisco 49ers' Mike Singletary and the Legacy of NFL Players Turned Coaches
Published by Trey Bradley on April 23, 2009
The term "interim head coach" never applied. Interim coaches don't bench first-round draft picks. They aren't established enough to deliver postgame rants. And there's certainly no precedent for dropping trou'. But Mike Singletary chose, or perhaps had no choice but to coach the way he played--menacing, dominant, commanding respect. So far, so good. After taking over for Mike Nolan mid-season, Singletary doused the 49ers grease fire and led San Francisco to a 5-4 finish in 2008, including four wins in the final five weeks. Consequently, the franchise removed the interim tag, and Singletary will embark on his first full season in 2009. In the following slides, we will explore the history of professional players who have become modern ...

8 Classic TV Shows That Began On The Radio. I Listened to #2 All The Time!
If you're like us, you probably have a fondness for old radios. Not only are they beautiful examples of technology and design that are coveted by collectors and antique aficionados, but for many of us, they were the main source of entertainment growing up. Before we could actually see what our favorite characters were doing on TV, we had to use our imaginations; and there was something so fun about that. We decided to take a trip back in time and remember some of our favorite programs that actually began on the radio, before they made their way to the television.
From his subpar violin skills to his eternal age of 39, Jack Benny has been entertaining fans since his first radio appearance in 1932. He was given his own show — The Canada Dry Ginger Ale Program — which changed names with each new sponsor until the mid '50s. By 1950, The Jack Benny Program aired on CBS, and had a 15-year-run. And while we enjoyed Mr. Benny in any form, we'll always think of him as a radio guy.
Any time we hear the William Tell overture, we're immediately brought back to the days of listening to The Lone Ranger on the radio. Before the popular TV show starring Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels aired in 1949, we had the radio program. It began in 1933 with George Seaton, Earle Graser, and Brace Beemer. The show has become a bit of a franchise, spawning books, toys, and even a movie adaptation.

Early, mixed media still life on paper.
From the estate of renowned St Ives gallery owner and collector, Paul Vibert.
Morwenna Thistlethwaite was an artist virtually unknown outside the tiny district of St Ives where, from her mid-60s on, she lived and worked. Born in 1912 in Kew, at 14 Thistlethwaite met the painter Borlase Smart in Scotland, who suggested she study at the St Ives School founded by Leonard Fuller. She instead enrolled as a mature student at Leamington Spa Art College in 1938 for two years, and then Birmingham College of Art for four years during the war, where she was a prize-winning scholarship student. In 1976 Thistlethwaite relocated to an old family home in colloquial 'Downalong', Victoria Place, in the Mount Zion area of St Ives, and became a regular of the local art scene. Her subjects were typically imagined interior scenes, muted still lifes, or paintings of the world going by, tinged by a dreamlike, cryptic quality in the vein of Winifred Nicholson. In 1997 ill health forced Thistlethwaite to leave St Ives for Surrey, where she died in December 2000.

/* (Should this be a permanent part of APR?)

   OK, folks, here's what's going on.  APR hash tables hash on
   key/klen objects, and store associated generic values.  They work
   great, but they have no ordering.

   The point of this exercise is to somehow arrange a hash's keys into
   an "ordered list" of some kind -- in this case, a nicely sorted
   one.

   We're using APR arrays, therefore, because that's what they are:
   ordered lists.  However, what "keys" should we put in the array?
   Clearly, (const char *) objects aren't general enough.  Or rather,
   they're not as general as APR's hash implementation, which stores
   (void *)/length as keys.  We don't want to lose this information.

   Therefore, it makes sense to store pointers to {void *, size_t}
   structures in our array.  No such apr object exists... BUT... if we
   can use a new type svn_sort__item_t which contains {char *, size_t, void
   *}.  If store these objects in our array, we get the hash value
   *for free*.  When looping over the final array, we don't need to
   call apr_hash_get().  Major bonus!

Flowers Express 'Invisible' Heat Patterns to Attract Bees
By George Dvorsky on at
Over the course of evolution, flowers and pollinating insects have developed an intimate, mutually beneficial relationship. To get the attention of pollinators, flowers have developed an assortment of cues, such as colourful petals and aromatic smells. But as a new study points out, many plants also express complex floral heat patterns, which bees are able to detect.
Plants perform this trick by redistributing the energy of captured sunlight, a process known as plant thermogenesis. Scientists have known about this ability for quite some time, but a new study led by Heather Whitney from the University of Bristol is the first to study the phenomenon in detail and determine if bees are truly interested in these invisible heat patterns.
The new study, published in eLife, shows this is fairly widespread phenomenon among plants, and that bees are most definitely attracted to the heat. But the study also serves as a warning, suggesting that climate change could disrupt this sensitive process.
Various heat patterns seen in the flowers examined. (Image: University of Bristol)
For the study, Whitney's team examined numerous flowers, including common poppies, rock roses, and daisies. Using a thermal camera, the team took thermographs of flowers in three botanical gardens, including Royal Fort Gardens in Bristol. Complex temperature patterns were surprisingly common; of the 118 species studied, 55% exhibited intra-flower temperature differences greater than the two degrees Celsius difference that bees are able to detect. On average, the heat patterns were 4-5 degrees C warmer than the rest of the plant, and in some extreme cases as much as 11 degrees C warmer.

To see if the bees were attracted to this added heat, Whitney's team created artificial flowers that mimicked the observed heat patterns, but without the corresponding colour patterns. In experiments with bumblebees—pollinators that rely on a wide assortment of flowers—the flying bugs detected and sought out the patterns. The diversity in patterns also allowed them to distinguish between different flowers, which they did preferentially (i.e. they exhibited favourites).
This research shows that, along with cues such as colour and scent, this "invisible" heat also serves to attract pollinating insects (at least bumblebees), helping them to locate a reward, typically nectar.
Sadly, however, this process could be interrupted by climate change; bumblebees are particularly sensitive to the effects global warming. As the researchers conclude in their study:
As well as opening up a new field of research in understanding the interactions between plants and their pollinators, these findings are potentially important given current concerns about climate change. If pollinators are partly reliant on subtle differences in temperature across the surface of a petal, then even small changes in the temperature of the environment could have a large and unanticipated influence on how efficient bees and other pollinators are when they are visiting flowers with hidden heat patterns.
We already know climate change is brutal. But it's astounding how much of the natural world is being affected—and not for the better. [eLife]

Who knew that Missouri hospitality extends to fabulous dining? My gal pal Jessie and I recently traveled to Jefferson City, Mo., where we made our way Madison's Cafe. I could have made a meal on just the appetizers. After devouring our Calamari, polishing off our Mad Crab Stack, I barely had room for my Rigatoni Quatro Fromage. But what stood out the most to me was the hospitality. The service was fabulous, which means a lot when you are traveling.
Winery has an upscale winery feel but an open atmosphere — a place I would happily travel to for date night, girls' night out, or birthday lunches. Although I saw kids there, I probably would not bring my kids there — the music was bit loud for kids (although I loved it) and the patio was crowded, which in my mind would make it hard for kids to maneuver.
On our second day of our trip, Jessie and I decided we better have a light lunch. Cafe Via Roma in downtown Jefferson City, was just the spot. I would define Cafe Via Roma as a sandwich shop with class, style, and flavor and they pride themselves as "A Taste of Europe In the Capitol City" I loved the food, but what I loved more about this place was the atmosphere. I love a place that has outside dining, especially when the area as beautiful as downtown Jefferson City. I chose a Tuscan turkey panini, and the flavor did not let me down. Even better, together we spent less than $20 — good food and great atmosphere for an excellent price.
Our final stop in Jefferson City was Prison Brews Microbrewery and Restaurant. We had dinner here just before touring the Missouri State Penitentiary. This restaurant sets the theme if you plan to tour the Missouri State Penitentiary; however, there is no need to save it just for that. I found Prison Brews as a place I could just get comfortable at, the food or the food I chose was a good old fashion bacon cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, with a cold fresh brewed beer on the side. Prison Brews is a microbrewery, so most of their beers are made on site, and cutely named to match their 'theme". I am more of a wine person than beer drinker; however, the beer went down smoothly and gave me just enough of that "liquid courage" to get excited about my ghost tour at the Missouri State Penitentiary.

More UN peacekeepers needed for South Sudan
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon wants 1 100 extra peacekeepers to be sent to South Sudan to help protect civilians who continue to face attacks despite a peace deal signed three months ago.
Ban made the request in a report to the Security Council last week that paints a pessimistic picture of the conflict in the world's youngest nation.
Breaches of the ceasefire by both the government and rebel forces "call into question their commitment to the peace process and the political buy-in for the implementation of the peace
agreement," said the report obtained by AFP on Tuesday.
Ban recommended that 500 additional military troops and 600 police be deployed to South Sudan, along with 13 helicopters and transport planes to quickly move peacekeepers across the country.
The UN chief also requested a field hospital in Bentiu, where nearly 100 000 people have taken refuge in the UN base, and an upgraded medical facility in Juba to provide essential emergency services.
South Sudan descended into war in December 2013 when President Salva Kiir accused his sacked deputy Riek Machar of planning a coup.

Harry Allen Turner, 77, of Easley, passed away peacefully Sunday, April 14, 2019 at Baptist Easley Hospital.
Born in Greenville, SC, he was the son of the late Harry Aubrey Turner and Carol Allen Ramsaur. Harry served in the Air Force 62'-66 and graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1967.
Harry Turner loved music from a young age and became a popular radio personality and DJ playing original R&B music on over 40 radio stations, interviewing hundreds of artists and playing their music. He promoted a number of music concerts and festivals and wrote the book This Magic Moment: Musical Reflections of a Generation published in 1994. Harry was instrumental in having The Shag named the state dance of SC. As a music historian and expert, he was committed to seeing that R&B music was preserved and just days before his death, he expressed that his hope had always been that original R&B music would "bring everyone together".
Mr. Turner is survived by one son, Harmon Turner; two daughters, Erin Gladstone, and Anna Fultz; four sisters, Aubrey Turner Gey, Allison Turner Walters, Beth Turner Patterson, and Dottie Turner Blankenship; and four grandchildren, Chase and Max Gladstone, Clem Turner, Vaughn Turner, and Shanasia Fultz.
In addition to his parents, Mr. Turner is predeceased by his sister, Bootsie Babb; grandson, Zachary Gladstone, step parents, Stokes Ramseur and Betty Turner.
The family will host a memorial service in Asheville NC at the Sherrill Center, UNC campus at 1pm on May 5th.
Memorials may be made to The Veterans Bridge Home, https://veteransbridgehome.org, or The Wounded Warrior Project, www.woundedwarriorproject.org/.

Q: Confusion on sum of Poisson distribution question
Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are independent Poisson-distributed random variables with parameters $1$ and $2$ respectively. Find $\mathbb{P}(\frac{X + Y}{ 2} \geq 1)$.

The way I attempted to solve this problem is by saying that
$$ \mathbb{P}\Big(\frac{X + Y}{2} \geq 1\Big) = \mathbb{P}\Big(\frac{X}{2} + \frac{Y}{2}\geq 1\Big) = 1 - \mathbb{P}\Big(\frac{X}{2} + \frac{Y}{2} = 0\Big)$$
but this does not seem to be the correct answer. I am wondering where I went wrong.

A: The event $\{\frac{X+Y}{2}=0\}$ is the same as the event $\{X=0,Y=0\}$ since $X$ and $Y$ are non-negative. This means that you're missing the events $\{X=1,Y=0\}$ and $\{X=0,Y=1\}$ in your final expression, because in these cases $\frac{X+Y}{2}=\frac{1}{2}<1$.

In my last blog I stated that "growing up" as an adult means going through stages of development. To do so one must become "conscious". This means understanding yourself. Discovering that voice in your head and the unconscious patterns that drive you; learning more about your internal psychology. Using personality assessments can help.
I learned about the Myers Briggs Type Indicator in my late forties and gave feedback to hundreds of people on their type. Rather than explain it, see the above link to take the test for yourself.
Here is what I learned about myself from the MBTI.
I am an extrovert who gets energized by interacting with others and the environment. If I am by myself for long periods, I want to get out and be in social situations where I can be with people. I enjoy interacting with people. I learned to appreciate introverts who prefer to recharge by being with themselves. My son can have a great weekend by himself. My wife needs alone time in order to stay centered and not drained. I have learned to respect that people are different from me. .
I approach things conceptually and globally. Details are not my strong suit. I am anything but precise. I much prefer to talk about ideas than things. An example is finding myself at the Offshore Technology Conference and having absolutely no interest in the machinery. I learned to admire those who enjoy working with their hands on practical concrete problems. The same with those who do detailed work with numbers. I prefer to read a history or philosophy book than change the oil in my car or do my taxes. Others prefer these practical endeavors. In conversations I can get bored with the mundane and detailed. Others can see me as too pie in the sky in my thinking, always focused on the future rather than practical day to day stuff.
The filters I use in decision making are facts and logic and in doing so I tend to dismiss the values based decisions of others, when in fact values based decisions are rational as well. I delude myself into thinking that I don't make decisions emotionally when at some level I do. I learn to appreciate that others have a different way of making decisions and having opinions and, just because of that, they are not wrong.
I am not particularly structured in my external world. Clothes seem to get disorganized in my closet all by themselves. My desk is cluttered. This is my natural tendency and I have to find systems to overcome this tendency. This is why technology has become so important to me for staying organized.
Here is the write up on my profile.
One of the benefits I got from the MBTI is having concrete language to see how I differ from other people and to see the value from these differences. In addition, the simple act of truly exploring one's inner psychology helps one relaxed patterns that have been unconscious. I will talk more about this later as I go into two more assessments.
Meantime think about taking this assessment. Do more than just read the report. Read it multiple times and think about it and correlate your daily inner states and behaviors to what the report reveals. Let it soak in. Let me know you have taken the MBTI and we can talk about it.
In an earlier blog, I said that I did not believe in Christian dogma, but was a Christian in that Christ taught love, compassion and tolerance. And, I could identify deeply with those values. So let's explore compassion by first talking about empathy.
It wasn't until I was 54 that I had a deep personal understanding of the experience of empathy. In the past, I had been masterful in distancing myself from others' emotionality.
I was observing men on a New Warrior Adventure Weekend who were deeply in touch with the pain in their lives and I found myself moved to tears vicariously feeling their pain. I now felt the emotion of empathy. It is the capacity to see clearly into the nature of suffering; to vicariously experience another's emotions.
Compassion is empathy coupled with the imperative that "someone, perhaps me, should do something about that". There is an intention to act because of others are suffering and to recognize that I am not separate from this suffering. Compassion comes from our oneness.
In 2010, I found myself with 50 executive volunteers in a prison with 100 inmates enrolled in The Prison Entrepreneur Program. I was deeply touched by the participants' appreciation for my being there and their desire for redemption. My feeling of compassion caused me to continue to volunteer and become a member of their Houston Advisory Board for a number of years.
While I have decided not to give money to street beggars, I donate to the Star of Hope Mission as an act of compassion for the homeless.
The Buddhist's have the concept of loving kindness where you focus on others' suffering while meditating. When you type "compassion" into YouTube, you get a lot of Buddhist teachers and almost no Christian teachers. What's that about? Most compassionate Christian ministries have the hook of conversion attached to them. Buddhists don't seem to have that, although I think the Christians seem to have more ministries that help those in need.
I don't think one has to be religious to express compassion. There is something about our humanity that evokes these feelings and desire to act. In 2017 Hurricane Harvey devastated parts of Houston and the mayor called for volunteers. Thousands of people rose to the occasion, even putting themselves in danger to help others.
Can you truly empathize with others? Put yourself in their shoes?
In what ways do you practice compassion by performing acts of loving kindness?
My 81 year old sister Gail died in her sleep on October 10th. She felt well and was happy. She was not afraid of death and if she could remember her death, she would not be surprised; just pissed off because she did not have a chance to vote.
She left two children and three grandchildren who are deeply grieving her loss as am I.
I am now the last of my generation except for a very distant cousin. My twin brother died when we were 35, the same year as my mother. It is a strange feeling being the last one. It is lonely. There are only a couple of people, lifelong friends who knew my father or brother.
I think about my family's previous generation who of course have all gone. I remember seeing a picture of a stadium with 20,000 baseball fans in 1890 and it struck me, "My God, they're all dead". 20,000 ordinary people, not unlike you and me, who no longer cast a shadow with no real artifacts to speak of that reveal they ever existed. This certainly gives one perspective on the human condition and how we are all on death row. And yet I do believe that we are living in our ancestors wake as we create our own wake for the future, whether it be good or bad.
Even with this perspective, we grieve. And, it is hard. Having lost a 19 year old son who would have been 48 this year, I know. The wound of loss can be searingly deep and yet it will heal just as the body heals a physical wound. Grief is not an event; it is a natural process that takes time and it is unique for each person.
So, I grieve for Gail and yet I have a quiet peacefulness. She led a good life and was loved.
The autumn took the rest, but they won't take me. . . .
If they cut down this tree, I'll show up in a song.
According to Carl Jung, your shadow is that part of you that you hide and deny to yourself and others. I learn first about shadow at the New Warrior weekend training in 1996 and have been trying to identify my shadows ever since. I was particular struck by Jung's observation that those who claimed to have no shadow were superficial. They lived well, meant well, brought no overt harm to others, but they failed to see the nuances of their behaviors, the unintended consequences of their choices, or the pallid lives they conducted. Oops. Is that me? I hope not. So let me explore my shadows.
When you identify and "own" your shadow, you become a full person, acknowledging the dark side as well as the bright side, the positive attributes. In my blog on Sin and Evil, I touched on this. Each of us have in us all the attributes of being human. So when you are rooting for the hero to take revenge on the bad guy by killing him, you are expressing the part of yourself that is the killer. And when you admire a charismatic leader you are projecting qualities on them that you are denying in yourself.
I recall being upset with a retailer overcharging and thought they were stingy. When I asked myself, "in what way am I stingy?", I realized that there is a very clear stingy part of me, making sure that I get full value and being mad if I don't. So I can see how I project my shadows onto others.
Shadows can come from early life. In my case the message from my parents to be strong and independent caused me to not show vulnerability and be so focused on self sufficiency that it became a detriment. Owning that shadow allowed me to show more of my heart and to seek help when I needed it. In other words, to express more of myself as a human being.
Some of us live our life by reacting to having felt abandoned, in which case we overcompensate by seeking attention by performing and being visible. That's me. This blog is an example of "look at me".
Others may feel overwhelmed and seek to become invisible and to hide out in life. They play small rather than large. They are protected.
Another example of a shadow for me is my unconscious and sometime intentional desire to manipulate things to get my way, devaluing other's needs.
So, with some reflection I have identified some my shadows; with more to surface.
How about you? What are your shadows?
Can you identify and own all parts of you; both the good and the bad?
We all have a need for love and connection. I certainly do. In the last 15 years, one thing that has added richness to my life is my being in informal circles of likeminded friends. When we move beyond raising families and the strive thrive part of our lives, relationships becoming even more important to us. In years past people had extended family nearby. Now, not so much.
I became part of the informal community of the Mankind Project after having gone through a weekend training in 1996. I now belong to three circles of men who are part of this community, and one coed circle.
A group of professional coaches have met monthly for 15 years to share our experience with our respective coaching practices. These men are at top of their game as executive coaches.
Five men have met monthly for 15 years to discuss our spiritual development and to witness each other's lives. Ages 65-90.
A recent group of 5 senior men who meet at my house twice a month for discussions. We don't talk about sports or politics and we are too old to talk about woman. We do talk about meaningful subjects and share our life experiences.
The oldest group of 4 men and 4 women meet twice monthly to witness each other's lives. There are two couples, one who met in the group. Others are in relationships. We have met for 16 years and have shared many life experiences such as health issues, marriages, and deaths of loved ones, including someone in the group. We are all in our 70's now and are living our lives fully.
All of these groups have one thing in common: love. We come together because we love each other and want to share our lives, wisdom and support with the others. They are my spiritual community. In fact, we have two clergy in the coed group and we are not part of their congregation, so they can be 100% forthright.
I also attend and manage the website for The Saturday Morning Men's Cafe which has met each month for two hours with 10-20 men for the last three years. Many of the men have known each other for years while some are new. Each meeting someone volunteers to lecture on a personal growth topic of his choosing and then lead a discussion.
This can be an isolating and divisive world. Having the consistency of a beloved community is immeasurably enriching and meaningful to me.
As you look at your life, do you have a sufficient amount of love and connection?
Do you have beloved circles in your life?
What might you do to create one?


The – Guardian – UK Embassy Bash Falls Foul of Uzbek Secret Police: It is an event more usually associated with cocktails, canapes and polite laughter. But in Uzbekistan, the annual party held by the British embassy in honour of the Queen's birthday has been the object of dark threats from the secret police.
Furious with the efforts of the British ambassador, Craig Murray, to highlight human rights abuses in the country, the Uzbek security services have warned everyone from government officials to local musicians not to attend.
At least 20 Uzbek guests rang the embassy to say they would come anyway. The callers said the Uzbek security services, or SNB, had made the majority of threats.
The Uzbek government then summoned a host of prominent musicians to the prime minister's office for a meeting on Monday. "They were told they would be banned from performing in public or in the media if they played at the party," said the source.
The renowned Uzbek folk singer Sherali, who has already been banned by the government, was top of the bill at the party.


Currenlty, when a new forum is set, we create a new category and a new forum, called "New category" and "New forum" respectivly. This is kind of pointless, no single forum would ever use a category and forum named like that. So, I think it's a good idea to change those default names to "General" and "Announcements", respectivly, as these category name and forum name seem very commonly used. Or of course anything else.

India vs West Indies, 2nd Test: Wriddhiman Saha or Rishabh Pant? Gautam Gambhir gives his verdict
New Delhi, First Published Aug 30, 2019, 2:33 PM IST
The Virat Kohli-led team, which is leading 1-0 in the two-Test rubber, is likely to retain the same playing XI for the game. However, there is a debate as to whether the team management should replace young stumper Rishabh Pant with the experienced Wriddhiman Saha
New Delhi: With India set to face the West Indies in the second Test from today (August 30) in Kingston, former opening batsman Gautam Gambhir has given his opinion on who should take the wicketkeeper's slot.
The Virat Kohli-led team, which is leading 1-0 in the two-Test rubber, is likely to retain the same playing XI for the game. However, there is a debate as to whether the team management should replace young stumper Rishabh Pant with the experienced Wriddhiman Saha.
Also read: India-West Indies 2nd Test preview
Saha lost to his Test place to Pant due to a long injury layoff. In England and Australia, Pant impressed by scoring century each in the Test series. However, he has often thrown his wicket away be it in the longer format or the limited-overs matches.
In the first Test in North Sound, Pant scored 24 and seven. Saha is in the squad and waiting to make a comeback.

Ahead of the second Test, Gambhir firmly backed Delhi's Pant. "When someone (Pant) is averaging 48 (45.43 actually) with the bat and scored a hundred each in England and Australia, he deserves to be playing Test cricket. Saha needs to wait for his opportunity as Pant has grabbed his opportunity with both hands," Gambhir told news agency PTI.
Also Gambhir's former teammate Virender Sehwag too had given his views on Pant.

"Pant is an extremely talented cricketer with huge potential. It will be important that he is groomed well," Sehwag told PTI.
"And now that he has been assured some quality time in the team it is important that he makes the best use of the opportunity and works to better his game and develop as a cricketer," he added.

Some experts have argued that Saha is a better wicketkeeper in Test cricket and should be played instead of Pant. However, the team management might stick with the 21-year-old left-handed batsman.
So far, Pant has played 10 Tests, 12 ODIs and 18 T20Is. He was part of India's World Cup 2019 team where the 'men in blue' reached the semi-final where they lost to New Zealand.

Obligations imposed by regulators touch on almost every aspect of commercial life. In addition to reporting requirements and penalties for failure to meet regulatory requirements, companies must be aware of the frequent revisions to the regulatory framework as well as newly published guidance. Keeping up with the regulatory aspects that affect your business can be a full-time job.
U.S. companies wishing to expand into the United Kingdom or elsewhere in the European Union will need to take careful account of the regulatory framework, both general and sector-specific. In addition, many businesses look for a competitive edge through exemplary compliance and wider corporate social responsibility standards. We understand that compliance and CSR issues can advance a business strategy and can help companies who want to be the leader in their industries.
For companies without a solid grasp on regulatory issues, failure to fulfill requirements can result in serious penalties. In the most serious circumstances, company directors and the company itself can face criminal sanctions, the results of which can be devastating for businesses and threaten the livelihoods of individuals. Over the past year, there have been a number of hefty fines imposed on organizations that have been found to have breached legislation, and this trend is predicted to continue.
