The retained structure can be viewed within the new building
Accommodating many of Doncaster's historical relics, a new steel-framed cultural hub has also been designed to surround and exhibit a retained Edwardian school entrance.

Steel tonnage: 380tDoncaster will soon have a new £14M, iconic 21st Century combined museum and library building, which will transform how library and heritage resources are provided in the borough.
The new steel-framed building encapsulates part of the frontage of the former Doncaster Grammar School for Girls. A glazed elevation will allow the retained structure to be visible from the street and thereby make it one of the borough's most eye-catching buildings.
Three existing buildings (Doncaster Central Library, Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery and the Library Services for Schools) will be consolidated into this new central hub.
The building will have the space and facilities to display exhibits that have been locked away from public view for years, including the town's famous Roman Danum Shield, which was unearthed in 1971, and the Royal Borough Charters.
A council spokesperson said: "Keeping this element of the former girls' school means we can preserve Doncaster's heritage and create a building that could possibly bring local and national awards.
The new building is set over four floors and covers much of the footprint of the former school. The steel braced frame supports metal decking and a concrete topping to form a composite flooring solution throughout the structure.
Steel construction was deemed to be the ideal solution for this iconic building
Steelwork wraps around the former school entrance
Rail tracks extend into the building to allow historic locomotives to be exhibited
Main contractor Willmott Dixon started onsite during October 2018, and inherited a site where much of the demolition had already been completed.
"The school had been closed for a number of years and our initial task was to complete the demolition process that had been partially undertaken. We then had to secure and retain a wedge-shaped portion of the building. This contains the entrance, which consists of two turrets connected by a portico, behind which the former main staircase is located," explains Willmott Dixon Operations Manager Richard Stowell.
The retained portion is a masonry structure and this had to be temporarily propped and supported by a scaffold system while the steelwork was erected.
Steelwork wraps around and over the retained structure, but does not connect into it, as the old and new structures are independent, with only the floors forming a link.
"We needed a material that would allow us to span over the retained structure, and this was one of the main reasons for choosing a steel-framed solution for this project," says Tier Consult Engineer John Cooper.
"Steelwork also helped us easily create a feature cantilever that is positioned above the main entrance."
Spanning over the top of the two-level high retained structure is a 20m-long x 4.8m-deep steel truss, which creates the new building's second floor within its depth as well as supporting the new roof.
The cantilever Mr Cooper is alluding to is located to the side of the retained structure. Here a 10m-long x 2m-deep Westok cellular beam, with 1,400mm holes, has been positioned at roof level to create the entrance feature.
There will be windows in this part of the building and so a truss was ruled out as its cross members would have been visible through the glass.
The solution was to use a large Westok cellular beam – chosen for its lightness compared to a solid member – which supports the cantilevering second floor via hangers.
Kloeckner Metals UK Westok Design Team Manager John Callanan commented: "Detailing of the cantilever and backspan arrangement to the large Westok was quite intricate. We manufactured the cantilevered end of the section with a gradual rise, to ensure the tight deflection limits in this location were adhered to."
Founded on CFA piles and pad foundations, the steel frame forms a glazed curved frontage that sits 4m in front of the retained structure. A series of 16m-high 400mm x 200mm box section columns support the glazing and the roof.
As well as allowing people to see the old school entrance from outside, the glazing will flood the interior of the building with natural light and create a pleasant area for customers to sit in. This area will be used as an overspill seating area for the café, which will be located within the ground floor of the retained structure.
Behind the café, the restored staircase will provide access to the first floor of the new building, while an extension to the staircase will continue up to the second level.
The site slopes, so behind the retained structure the building drops down and includes a lower ground floor. This level will accommodate a museum for the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and a rail heritage museum displaying two locomotives built in Doncaster.
Much of the central portion of this floor, where the locomotives will be positioned, will be a double height space, with ground floor viewing galleries positioned along either side.
These will allow visitors to observe the rolling stock from above, while a centrally-positioned atrium, also partially located above the trains, will help to illuminate the exhibits and allow visitors on the first floor to look down on the trains.
A set of sliding doors and two sets of rail tracks, that extend beyond the rear of the building, will allow the locomotives access into the building.
A series of 18m-long beams span the double-height space over the trains and form the second floor of the building.
Meanwhile, the ground floor will also accommodate a children's and adult lending library, while the first floor will house further museum space, and an education and conference space.
"Creating the required high floor-to-ceiling heights – 3.2m-high in many areas – was easier using a steel-framed solution," explains Willmott Dixon Construction Manager Mark Cox.
"However, for the second floor this is increased to a 3.7m floor-to-ceiling height as this level accommodates a gallery."
This uppermost level also provides space for an outdoor plant zone. Although this area has no roof, it is screened off with the same metallic gold-coloured cladding system that adorns much of the building.
The completed Doncaster Central Library and Museum is due to open in August 2020.

Razor is trying really, really, really hard to inject itself into the middle of the men's-mag scrum. It has upped the celebrity quotient for its cover gals (recent, um, honorees include Shannon Elizabeth and Carla Gugino), added edge to its content (more contrarian viewpoints, flashier spreads) and allied itself with anything and everything vaguely poker-related. As a result, at times it boasts the manic twitch of Tom Arnold after 18 Red-Bull-and-vodkas.
Golf For Women (GFW) ranks as one of the more inspired ideas in the recent history of women's magazines. By my highly precise count, there are no fewer than 363,364 women's lifestyle titles on the market today. Yet as opposed to the all-things-for-all-gals approach of its peers, GFW mostly confines itself to blanketing all aspects of one specific lifestyle: that of the golf groupie.

People make much ado about nothing. When we first came to work in advertising after covering it for many years as trade reporters, our former journalist colleagues drilled us. "What's it like on the other side?" they constantly asked as if we had just defected to North Korea.
Vanity Fair is the mass-market publishing equivalent of a royal wedding. It gets the most dogged writers for its investigative features and the flashiest celebs for its covers. Each issue weighs as much as a newborn; 96 percent of the women featured in it either look like, or are Uma Thurman. Thus it's almost pointless to analyze any single issue of the mag; there's little I can add to whatever's left of the debate. Nonetheless, we've got 500-odd words to play with and a deadline looming like a twister cloud, so what the hey.
I've never really seen the point of travel magazines. Reading them strikes me as akin to going to a restaurant when you're hungry and merely watching people eat. Why not just go on vacation? Okay, okay - so some would-be travelers need a little push in the right direction. I get it. Islands, then, would aspire to be that special trusted advisor for archipelago-happy readers. There's one small problem with this: I'm not so sure the mag deserves that trust.
When I was growing up, Rolling Stone was my favorite magazine by a very, very wide margin. Ever since it devolved into Us Weekly with a faintly pulsing backbeat, however, I've been looking for something to take its place. As best as I can tell, there are two valid contenders to the sophisticated rock-mag throne: Tracks* and Harp.
I'd always wondered where exactly Marie Claire fit on the evolutionary chain of women's mags. Then, as now, it struck me as relatively hip - yet I'd been basing my opinion strictly on the publication's semi-sedate covers rather than, god forbid, actually reading the thing.

You know that guy in the cubicle next to you, the one who pontificates about his annual Las Vegas visit with the solemnity and reverence of a Mecca-bound pilgrim? The one who spouts "Vegas, baby, Vegas!" and "whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" as if they were personal credos rather than cheap marketing clichés? Well, gosh, do I have a magazine for him.
The cover of the April issue of Saveur does little to rid me of the uninformed notion that all cooking magazines are waaaaay too precious for their own good. It proclaims "CHEESE in the kitchen" as if an order and punctuates it with a photo of what appears to be sludgy leftover pasta. Similarly, the cover come-on "Learning from BISCUITS" evokes the patently silly image of a scone wearing a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches, lecturing a class of hungover freshmen.

Most recent magazine launches have been heralded with an eight-trumpet fanfare, the unfurling of ceremonial bunting, and the release of a lone white dove as the publisher rings the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Alas, 18 months post-recession, the question practically begs to be asked: has there been more fizzle than sizzle?


4Th Grade Landforms Lesson Plans - In lesson 2 college students found out approximately the outcomes of weathering. In lesson 3, "slowly reshaping earth's landforms," college students learn that erosion with the aid of moving water, air, or ice, is a manner that transports earth substances. A powerpoint presentation is included in the lesson to demonstrate the outcomes of gradual processes that exchange landforms. Inside the subsequent lesson students research that rocks are converted thru the rock cycle.
Within the preceding lesson, students found out approximately rapid techniques that exchange the earth. In lesson 2, "rockin' roots," college students analyze that weathering causes rocks to break down. Students revel in weathering because the end result of acid rain, roots, freezing and thawing of water. A powerpoint presentation is included in the lesson to demonstrate the results of weathering.
Learning about landforms can be a lot of a laugh! Here are masses of interactive thoughts and sports to train landforms for children. If you're running on landform vocabulary, then you definately're certain to discover these videos, worksheets and even experiments to help.
Inside the preceding lesson, students learned how minerals are fashioned, and that they have a crystalline structure. In lesson 9, "mystery minerals," students discover ways to check common minerals and use moh's hardness scale and a mineral reference sheet to discover minerals based totally on their homes (shade, luster, streak, and hardness.).
Hello, i would really like to use the 4th grade techniques of the converting earth unit, however i cannot download the files. It says they are zipped. I have tried on a couple of computer systems and nevertheless can not down load the entire unit. Is there anything you can do? Thank you for your time.
See? Coaching geographical features simply got a touch less difficult with the help of those splendid ideas from other instructors. What a laugh thoughts – i'm all approximately the fingers-on lesson plans to make it greater interactive. After lesson 4, college students whole formative evaluation #1. This evaluation is aligned to the learning objectives of classes 1-4 and presents comments to the instructor, students, and mother and father approximately what students have discovered inside the starting of the unit. The instructor is able to use records from this formative assessment to determine if extra practise is important for scholar information of the concepts presented in classes 1-4 before proceeding to the next segment of the unit.


Step by Step super fan / previous guest "Bob K." challenges Chris & Rob to trade podcasts for the day. While Bob & his brother Charles K. Schwab take over Step by Stapp, Chris & Rob must do an episode of the secretly Evangelical Christian podcast "Nasty Time with The Dirty Boys".
Meanwhile on Step by Step, Frank & Carol trade places with J.T. & Dana to settle once and for all who has it worse: white teenagers or white 45 year olds. And of course Scott Stapp's song "The Great Divide" also weighs in on this.


Roof Pros has been in the roofing business for many years. We can provide slate, shingle, tile, metal and other types of roofing for homeowners.
Often roof damage may occur to the roof by animals that may make their homes in your attic. This could include squirrels, birds or raccoons. Any carpentry repairs needed for ensuring the roof will be installed correctly is another part of the service provided by Roof Pros. We can even repair or replace damaged skylights.
Leaks happen to roofs primarily as they age, but can also be caused by poor installation. Leaks can cause damage not only to your roof, but also to the interior of your house. They're most commonly found around openings such as skylights, chimneys, dormers and roof/wall intersections. Leaks in these places are commonly caused by worn or poorly installed flashing.
Roofs also occasionally need repairs for damage caused by the weather. Wind, rain, ice and hail can all cause damage, Many leaks also will not be detected until the region receives a large amount of rain, or a torrential downpour. In Central California, it's common for leaks to go undetected throughout the dry summer, only to be found once the fall rains begin.
Trees are usually great for your home--they increase curbside value andhelp cool your house in the summertime. However, trees can also cause roof damage in the form of consistent rubbing, broken limbs on the roof (causing undesired weight) and broken limbs through the roof.
The roofer as well as the supervisor receives training to assist in providing the best quality to customers. Not only is the quality of the work assured, but their philosophy when it comes to business is customer focused. Roof Pros Roofing follows their original goal of providing customer's roofing needs just as they would expect their own to be provided.
This is why they have integrated the technologies training program into their business to ensure that every Pro roofer we employ is trained. This is just another way they constantly improve the services they provide. Roof Pros Roofing believes this is a necessity in business.

The majority of U.S. states operate an official state lottery that allows both residents and visitors to play games of chance for cash prizes. Lotteries are intended to raise state revenue without tax hikes and often have a stated cause in mind -- usually education or some public benefit. In reality, lottery revenue typically gets lumped together with the general fund.
A state lottery usually consists of games where the contestant chooses numbers for a jackpot drawing along with scratch-off tickets that offer the chance to instantly win cash or other prizes. While all contestants have an equal shot at winning, the odds of winning large jackpots are extremely thin. Prizes can range from free tickets to tens of millions of dollars.
New Hampshire has the nation's oldest legal lottery, founded in 1964 after a large majority of the state's towns and cities voted in favor of its creation. The New Hampshire Lottery Commission claims on its Website that the lottery has contributed more than $1.6 billion to state public education initiatives since its founding.
The state requires a lottery winner's name, town of residence, and amount won to be made available to the public (although street address and phone number are not considered public information). Nearly two-thirds of lottery revenue goes toward prizes, with 26 percent going to New Hampshire schools.
The following chart provides additional details about state lottery laws in New Hampshire.
Note: State laws are always subject to change at any time through the enactment of new legislation or voter-approved ballot initiatives, or through other means. You should contact a New Hampshire gaming attorney or conduct your own legal research to verify the state law(s) you are researching.

Serological and genomic evidence of Rift Valley fever virus during inter-epidemic periods in Mauritania
M. RISSMANN, M. EIDEN, B. O. EL MAMY, K. ISSELMOU, B. DOUMBIA, U. ZIEGLER, T. HOMEIER-BACHMANN, B. YAHYA, M. H. GROSCHUP
Journal: Epidemiology & Infection / Volume 145 / Issue 5 / April 2017
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 December 2016, pp. 1058-1068
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an emerging pathogen of major concern throughout Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, affecting both livestock and humans. In the past recurrent epidemics were reported in Mauritania and studies focused on the analysis of samples from affected populations during acute outbreaks. To verify characteristics and presence of RVFV during non-epidemic periods we implemented a multi-stage serological and molecular analysis. Serum samples of small ruminants, cattle and camels were obtained from Mauritania during an inter-epidemic period in 2012–2013. This paper presents a comparative analysis of potential variations and shifts of antibody presence and the capability of inter-epidemic infections in Mauritanian livestock. We observed distinct serological differences between tested species (seroprevalence: small ruminants 3·8%, cattle 15·4%, camels 32·0%). In one single bovine from Nouakchott, a recent RVF infection could be identified by the simultaneous detection of IgM antibodies and viral RNA. This study indicates the occurrence of a low-level enzootic RVFV circulation in livestock in Mauritania. Moreover, results indicate that small ruminants can preferably act as sentinels for RVF surveillance.
Factors associated with longitudinal food record compliance in a paediatric cohort study
Jimin Yang, Kristian F Lynch, Ulla M Uusitalo, Kristina Foterek, Sandra Hummel, Katherine Silvis, Carin Andrén Aronsson, Anne Riikonen, Marian Rewers, Jin-Xiong She, Anette G Ziegler, Olli G Simell, Jorma Toppari, William A Hagopian, Åke Lernmark, Beena Akolkar, Jeffrey P Krischer, Jill M Norris, Suvi M Virtanen, Suzanne B Johnson, the TEDDY Study Group
Journal: Public Health Nutrition / Volume 19 / Issue 5 / April 2016
Non-compliance with food record submission can induce bias in nutritional epidemiological analysis and make it difficult to draw inference from study findings. We examined the impact of demographic, lifestyle and psychosocial factors on such non-compliance during the first 3 years of participation in a multidisciplinary prospective paediatric study.
The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study collects a 3 d food record quarterly during the first year of life and semi-annually thereafter. High compliance with food record completion was defined as the participating families submitting one or more days of food record at every scheduled clinic visit.
Three centres in the USA (Colorado, Georgia/Florida and Washington) and three in Europe (Finland, Germany and Sweden).
Families who finished the first 3 years of TEDDY participation (n 8096).
High compliance was associated with having a single child, older maternal age, higher maternal education and father responding to study questionnaires. Families showing poor compliance were more likely to be living far from the study centres, from ethnic minority groups, living in a crowded household and not attending clinic visits regularly. Postpartum depression, maternal smoking behaviour and mother working outside the home were also independently associated with poor compliance.
These findings identified specific groups for targeted strategies to encourage completion of food records, thereby reducing potential bias in multidisciplinary collaborative research.
Survey of lines in M 31: [CII] as SFR tracer at ~ 50 pc scales
M. J. Kapala, K. Sandstrom, B. Groves
Journal: Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union / Volume 10 / Issue S309 / July 2014
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 February 2015, p. 321
The [CII] 158 μm line is typically the brightest far-IR emission line from star-forming galaxies. As such, this line is a possible tracer of star-formation, but to do so we need the relative contributions of different ISM phases. Using high physical resolution observations of the [CII] 158 μm line from Herschel PACS in five 3'×3' field in M 31 and optical IFU spectra from PPaK and ancillary IR data, we are able to spatially separate out the ISM phases Kapala. We find that a large fraction of [CII] emission in M 31 arises from diffuse gas (~20–90), with a sub-linear relation of [CII]–SFR at ~50 pc scales. However, on ~kpc scales, the observed empirical [CII]–SFR relation is in agreement with other extragalactic studies.
The interaction of the outflow with the molecular disk in the Active Galactic Nucleus of NGC 6951
D. May, J. E. Steiner, T. V. Ricci, R. B. Menezes, I. S. Andrade
Context: we present a study of the central 200 pc of NGC 6951, in the optical and NIR, taken with the Gemini North Telescope integral field spectrographs, with resolution of ~ 0".1 Methods: we used a set of image processing techniques, as the filtering of high spatial and spectral frequencies, Richardson-Lucy deconvolution and PCA Tomography (Steiner et al.2009) to map the distribution and kinematics of the emission lines. Results: we found a thick molecular disk, with the ionization cone highly misaligned.
Ionized and neutral gas in the XUV discs of nearby spiral galaxies
López-Sánchez, B. S. Koribalski, T. Westmeier, C. Esteban
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 February 2015, pp. 65-68
We are conducting a multiwavelength study of XUV discs in nearby, gas-rich spiral galaxies combining the available UV (GALEX) observations with H i data obtained at the ATCA as part of the Local Volume HI Survey (LVHIS) project and multi-object fibre spectroscopy obtained using the 2dF/AAOmega instrument at the 3.9m AAT. Here we present the results of the multiwavelength analysis of the galaxy pair NGC 1512/1510. The H i distribution of NGC 1512 is very extended with two pronounced spiral/tidal arms. Hundreds of independent UV-bright regions are associated with dense H i clouds in the galaxy outskirts. We confirm the detection of ionized gas in the majority of them and characterize their physical properties, chemical abundances and kinematics. Both the gas distribution andthe distribution of the star-forming regions are affected by gravitational interactionwith the neighbouring blue compact dwarf galaxy NGC 1510. Our multiwavelength analysis provides new clues about local star-formation processes, the metal redistribution in the outer gaseous discs of spiral galaxies, the importance of galaxy interactions, the fate of the neutral gas and the chemical evolution in nearby galaxies.
Radio Recombination Line studies on M82 from LOFAR HBA observations
M. C. Toribio, L. K. Morabito, J. B. R. Oonk, F. Salgado, A. G. G. M. Tielens, H. J. A. Röttgering
We continue our search for extragalactic Carbon Radio Recombination Lines (CRRL) in M82 with the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR; van Haarlem et al.2013). The goal of our project is to determine the physical conditions of the cold neutral gas in this object, for which low frequency radio recombination lines can provide a sensitive probe.
Continuous Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators
A. J. Battisti, D. Calzetti, B. D. Johnson, D. Elbaz
We present continuous, monochromatic star formation rate (SFR) indicators over the mid-infrared wavelength range of 6–70 μm. We use a sample of 58 star forming galaxies (SFGs) in the Spitzer-SDSS-GALEX Spectroscopic Survey (SSGSS) at z<0.2, for which there is a rich suite of multi-wavelength photometry and spectroscopy from the ultraviolet through to the infrared. The data from the Spitzer infrared spectrograph (IRS) of these galaxies, which spans 5–40 μm, is anchored to their photometric counterparts. The spectral region between 40-70 μm is interpolated using dust model fits to the IRS spectrum anchored by Spitzer 70 and 160 μm photometry. Since there are no sharp spectral features in this region, we expect these interpolations to be robust. This spectral range is calibrated as a SFR diagnostic using several reference SFR indicators to mitigate potential bias. Our band-specific continuous SFR indicators are found to be consistent with monochromatic calibrations in the local universe, as derived from Spitzer, WISE, and Herschel photometry. Additionally, in the era of the James Webb Space Telescope this will become a flexible tool, applicable to any SFG up to z∼3.
Why galaxies care about Type Ia supernovae?
Noelia Jiménez, Patricia B. Tissera, Francesca Matteucci
We implement the Single Degenerate (SD) scenario proposed for Type Ia Supernova (SNIa) progenitors in SPH simulations. We analyse the chemical evolution of bulge-type galaxies together with the observed correlations relating SNIa rates with the characteristics of the host galaxy, such as their SFR. The models reproduce the observed signatures shown by [O/Fe] ratios in the Galactic Bulge and the present day SNIa rates. Also, the observed correlation found by Sullivan et al. (2006) between SSFR (specific star formation rate) and the SNIa rate per unit of galaxy mass (SSNIaR), naturally arises. This analysis helps to set more stringent constraints to the galaxy formation models and gives some hint on the progenitor problem.
Star formation enhancement characteristics in interacting galaxies
J. Zaragoza-Cardiel, J. E. Beckman, J. Font, A. Camps-Fariña, B. García-Lorenzo, S. Erroz-Ferrer
We have observed 12 interacting galaxies using the Fabry-Perot interferometer GHαFaS (Galaxy Hα Fabry-Perot system) on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (La Palma). We have extracted the physical properties (sizes, Hα luminosity and velocity dispersion) of 236 HII regions for the full sample of interacting galaxies. We have derived the physical properties of 664 HII regions for a sample of 28 isolated galaxies observed with the same instrument in order to compare both populations of HII regions, finding that there are brighter and denser star forming regions in the interacting galaxies compared with the isolated galaxies sample.
Discovery of Carbon Radio Recombination Lines in M82
Leah K. Morabito, J. B. R. Oonk, Francisco Salgado, M. Carmen Toribio, Xander Tielens, Huub Röttgering
Cold, diffuse HI clouds are a key component of the interstellar medium (ISM), and play an important role in the evolution of galaxies. Carbon radio recombination lines (CRRLs) trace this ISM stage, and with the enormous sensitivity of LOFAR we have already begun to map and constrain the physical properties of this gas in our own Galaxy. Using LOFAR's low band antenna, we have observed M 82 and present the first ever extragalactic detection of CRRLs. We stack 22 lines to find a 8.5-sigma detection. The line peak to continuum ratio is ∼0.003, with a FWHM of 31 km s−1. The CRRL feature is consistent with an origin in the cold, neutral medium in the direction of the nucleus of M 82.
Mirage simulations of the massiv sample
P. Amram, V. Perret, B. Epinat, F. Bournaud, T. Contini, C. Divoy, B. Garilli, M. Kissler-Patig, O. Le Fevre, C. Lopez-Sanjuan, J. Moultaka, L. Pairo, E. Perez-Montero, J. Queyrel, L. Tasca, L. Tresse, D. Vergani
The MIRAGE sample (Merging & isolated high-redshift AMR galaxies; Perret 2014, PhD dissertation; Perret et al. 2014, AA 562, 1) has been built in order to understand the contribution of the merger processes to the mass assembly in the MASSIV (Mass Assembly Survey with SINFONI in VVDS, Contini et al. 2012, AA 539, 91) sample. It consists of a sample of idealized simulations based on the RAMSES code; the initial conditions were designed to reproduce the physical properties of the most gas-rich young galaxies. The sample is composed of 20 simulations of mergers exploring the initial parameters of mass and orientation of the disks with a spatial resolution reaching 7 parsecs.
Is there a dependence in metallicity evolution on galaxy structures?
U. Kuchner, C. Maier, B. Ziegler, M. Verdugo, O. Czoske, P. Rosati, I. Balestra, A. Mercurio, M. Nonino, CLASH-, CLASH-VLT-team
We investigate the environmental dependence of the mass-metallicty (MZ) relation and its connection to galaxy stellar structures and morphologies. In our studies, we analyze galaxies in massive clusters at z ∼ 0.4 from the CLASH (HST) and CLASH-VLT surveys and measure their gas metallicities, star-formation rates, stellar structures and morphologies. We establish the MZ relation for 90 cluster and 40 field galaxies finding a shift of ∼ − 0.3 dex in comparison to the local trends seen in SDSS for the majority of galaxies with logM < 10.5. We do not find significant differences of the distribution of 4 distinct morphological types that we introduce by our classification scheme (smooth, disc-like, peculiar, compact). Some variations between cluster and field galaxies in the MZ relation are visible at the high mass end. However, obvious trends for cluster specific interactions (enhancements or quenching of SFRs) are missing. In particular, galaxies with peculiar stellar structures that hold signs for galaxy interactions, are distributed in a similar way as disc-like galaxies - in SFRs, masses and O/H abundances. We further show that our sample falls around an extrapolation of the star-forming main sequence (the SFR-M∗ relation) at this redshift, indicating that emission-line selected samples do not have preferentially high star-formation rates (SFRs). However, we find that half of the high mass cluster members (M∗ > 1010M⊙) lie below the main sequence which corresponds to the higher mass objects that reach solar abundances in the MZ diagram.
Probing Individual Star Forming Regions Within Strongly Lensed Galaxies at z > 1
Matthew B. Bayliss, Jane R. Rigby, Keren Sharon, Michael D. Gladders, Eva Wuyts
Star formation occurs on physical scales corresponding to individual star forming regions, typically of order ∼100 parsecs in size, but current observational facilities cannot resolve these scales within field galaxies beyond the local universe. However, the magnification from strong gravitational lensing allows us to measure the properties of these discrete star forming regions within galaxies in the distant universe. New results from multi-wavelength spectroscopic studies of a sample of extremely bright, highly magnified lensed galaxies are revealing the complexity of star formation on sub-galaxy scales during the era of peak star formation in the universe. We find a wide range of properties in the rest-frame UV spectra of individual galaxies, as well as in spectra that originate from different star forming regions within the same galaxy. Large variations in the strengths and velocity structure of Lyman-alpha and strong P Cygni lines such as C IV, and MgII provide new insights into the astrophysical relationships between extremely massive stars, the elemental abundances and physical properties of the nebular gas those stars ionize, and the galactic-scale outflows they power.
GRAVITY: microarcsecond astrometry and deep interferometric imaging with the VLTI
F. Eisenhauer, G. Perrin, C. Straubmeier, W. Brandner, A. Boehm, F. Cassaing, Y. Clenet, K. Dodds-Eden, A. Eckart, P. Fedou, E. Gendron, R. Genzel, S. Gillessen, A. Graeter, C. Gueriau, N. Hamaus, X. Haubois, M. Haug, T. Henning, S. Hippler, R. Hofmann, F. Hormuth, K. Houairi, S. Kellner, P. Kervella, R. Klein, J. Kolmeder, W. Laun, P. Lena, R. Lenzen, M. Marteaud, D. Meschke, V. Naranjo, U. Neumann, T. Paumard, M. Perger, D. Perret, S. Rabien, J. R. Ramos, J. M. Reess, R. R. Rohloff, D. Rouan, G. Rousset, B. Ruyet, M. Schropp, B. Talureau, M. Thiel, J. Ziegleder, D. Ziegler
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 October 2007, pp. 100-101
We present the adaptive optics assisted, near-infrared VLTI instrument GRAVITY for precision narrow-angle astrometry and interferometric phase referenced imaging of faint objects. With its two fibers per telescope beam, its internal wavefront sensors and fringe tracker, and a novel metrology concept, GRAVITY will not only push the sensitivity far beyond what is offered today, but will also advance the astrometric accuracy for UTs to 10 μas. GRAVITY is designed to work with four telescopes, thus providing phase referenced imaging and astrometry for 6 baselines simultaneously. Its unique capabilities and sensitivity will open a new window for the observation of a wide range of objects, and — amongst others — will allow the study of motion within a few times the event horizon size of the Galactic Center black hole.
Distant Galaxy Transformation Probed by VLT and HST
B. L. Ziegler, E. Kutdemir, A. Böhm, K. Jäger, M. Verdugo, R. Peletier, T. Kronberger, W. Kapferer, S. Schindler
Journal: Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union / Volume 2 / Issue S235 / August 2006
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2006, p. 258
We investigate the morphologies and velocity fields of spiral galaxies in distant clusters (z ~ 0.5) focussing on signatures from interactions. Structural parameters and peculiarities are determined with HST/ACS images. To derive the internal kinematics and rotation curves we have performed 3D–spectroscopy allowing the construction of the full velocity field for each galaxy. Combining both approaches, transformation mechanisms are revealed that affect not only the stellar populations but also the mass distribution. The observations are supported by N-body/SPH simulations of different interaction processes.
K-band Evolution of Elliptical Galaxies in the Cluster Abell 2390 at z=0.23
M. Alizadeh, A. Fritz, C. Da Rocha, B. L. Ziegler
We investigate the near-infrared K-band evolution of early-type galaxies in the cluster of galaxies Abell2390 at z = 0.23. Using the Omega-Prime camera at the 3.5-m Calar Alto telescope deep imaging (texp = 53 min) over a 6' × 6' field has been obtained. The measured K-band magnitudes of 28 galaxies are combined with the spectroscopic and morphological data of Fritz et al. (2005) to construct the Faber-Jackson and Fundamental Plane relations in the NIR. By comparing our distant galaxies to a local sample of cluster ellipticals (Pahre 1999), we find on average a mild luminosity evolution for both scaling relations (ΔMK ~ 0.6 − 0.7 mag) compatible with passive evolution of the stellar populations.
Internal Kinematics of Modelled Isolated and Interacting Disc Galaxies
T. Kronberger, W. Kapferer, S. Schindler, A. Böhm, E. Kutdemir, B. L. Ziegler
We present a systematic investigation of the velocity fields of both isolated and interacting spiral galaxies in combined N-body/hydrodynamical simulations. Closely mimicking the procedures applied in observations of distant, small, and faint galaxies we extract rotation curves (RCs) and compare the results of the simulation directly to observations. Irregularities in the velocity field reflect disturbances in the gravitational potential of the galaxy. They can be used to trace the recent interaction history of a galaxy and give possible clues to the type of the respective interaction. In addition, identifying disturbances in the RCs is important for Tully-Fisher studies in order to accurately derive the maximum rotation velocity.
Dynamical Evolution in Hickson Compact Groups using Intragroup Light
C. Da Rocha, B. L. Ziegler, C. Mendes de Oliveira
Most of the galaxies in the local universe are located in groups, in particular in small groups, and most of the transformations suffered by galaxies located in today's clusters are likely to have occurred in groups at higher redshifts. Understanding the formation and evolution of groups is essential to understand the whole picture of structures and galaxy build-up. Using multi-band photometry we studied the intragroup light component (IGL) observed in compact groups of galaxies in a subsample of Hickson's catalogue, an efficient tool for determining its stage of dynamical evolution and for mapping its gravitational potential. Applying the OV_WAV package, a wavelet based technique, we can identify the IGL independently of the main contaminating effects. The fractions of IGL detected range from 11% to 46%, with one group with no IGL detected. The colors are consistent with those for old stellar populations and the mean surface brightnesses range from 24.8 to 28.4 B mag arcsec−2. Using the IGL, along with other dynamical evolution indicators, we could establish an evolutionary sequence for our sample.
Intra-group Light in Hickson Compact Groups
G.A. Mamon, F. Combes, C. Deffayet, B. Fort, C. Da Rocha, C. Mendes de Oliveira, B.L. Ziegler
Journal: European Astronomical Society Publications Series / Volume 20 / 2006
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 May 2006, pp. 273-274
We have analyzed the intra-group light component of 3 Hickson Compact Groups (HCG 79, HCG 88 and HCG 95) with detections in two of them: HCG 79, with 46±11% of the total B band luminosity and HCG 95 with 11±26%. HCG 88 had no component detected. This component is presumably due to tidally stripped stellar material trapped in the group potential and represents an efficient tool to determine the stage of dynamical evolution and to map its gravitational potential. To detect this low surface brightness structure we have applied the wavelet technique OV_WAV, which separates the different components of the image according to their spatial characteristic sizes.


Making a Hobby Out of Getting Rid of Sh*t — SayLinds Co.
Sometimes stuff sits in your closet for so long that the piles become a part of your peripheral, and you don't even notice they're there anymore. What if you need that rusty pair of pliers? What about the abandoned buttons, traveling like nomads amongst coins and bobby pins, found in your old jacket's pockets? I'll probably, definitely sew them onto that pair of tattered jeans at the bottom of my storage bin... right?
If, like me, you've been on a cleaning frenzy lately, it's likely you've read (or at least heard of) The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. She tackles the idea of organizing, keeping, and discarding things with one simple rule of thumb: Does the object spark joy?
Seriously, it's that easy. If the thing makes you happy then you keep that thing. If the thing has served it's purpose in already making you happy at one point in time, you thank that thing for the joy it sparked and keep going.
What about the things that don't spark joy at all? There's no reason to hold onto things that no longer (or ever did) serve their purpose to make us happy. Why didn't anyone think of this sooner?
I had already employed this kind of approach when I decided to move to Portland because, like KonMari, I had to. Where the KonMari method limits us to the question "Does this item spark joy?", I was limited in other ways.
I had to consider "Will this fit in my car? Is this thing necessary?" It's surprising that most of the stuff I thought I "needed", I didn't.
But, this process was made even more difficult for me personally in the face of grief. Not only had I decided to move to Portland, cleaning out an entire 3 years worth of accumulated crap between 4+ roommates, but I was also dumped with my dad's stuff while helping my mom downsize. And let me tell you, anyone who has ever had to sort through the things their deceased loved ones have previously touched or cherished will understand how monumental of a task this is.
I remember laying everything out in my dining room. Every book, CD, elementary school report card, hair straightener, vase, dish, record, piece of clothing, bike accessory, kitchen item, candle. Towards the end, our house was a biohazard, and I had become, if I wasn't already, a crazed person.
I found myself obsessed with purging, packing little by little into boxes, sifting through carefully, thinking "sure this will fit", "this is nearly half of the books I own, it shouldn't be too heavy." "I'll definitely need a salad spinner."
Of course, this happened in waves. I nearly always had boxes for my friends to go through when they came over. I started blasting co-workers, social media and Craigslist, even hollering at neighbors to come over and take my stuff. Free piles were weekly if not daily occurrences, taking things out as often as I took out my trash. I also came to know Tonto, the Waverly Goodwill worker, pretty well. But the more I went through, the more I realized I STILL had too much stuff. This went on until the day that I left Maryland, abandoning wooden spoons and spatulas on my mother's front lawn.
With that being said, sure, there were things that I needed to replace when I got here. But for the most part, I already owned things that were special to me: two pots my mom had in her first apartment, a vintage oven mitt that I found on my 23rd birthday, my dad's hunting knife and waterproof matches, to name a few.
Now that I'm moving in with a partner, naturally there's a lot of...stuff. Not only do I have to revisit the KonMari methods, but now I have some experience under my belt.
1. It's okay to not be ready to let go!
If you are grieving (a loved one, a relationship, a past life), it's likely you aren't in the right mindset to make big decisions about what to get rid of quite yet. This is okay.
Don't get rid of things because you feel that you have to, or because they are negative reminders of what was. That could very likely change in six months. In the midst of my own grief, I don't necessarily regret getting rid of what I did, but I do wish I had given myself more time to decide to get rid of it. Go easy, take it in waves, and don't make impulsive emotional decisions.
I wish I had done more yard sales. Now, when I go through my things I'm ready to give up, I take that stuff straight to Crossroads or Buffalo Exchange. I'm sure you'll be able to find your own local consignment shop that you enjoy.
I don't even care about the cash: I'm all about that store credit, which certainly helps when I find other things that spark joy.
This was a regular occurrence in Baltimore that I wish I could find more of in Portland, so I put one together myself a few weeks ago. I invited friends over who brought their own things, and some didn't bring any at all.
After making careful decisions about each and every item, and attempting to sell it for store credit, this was my last resort. The best part? It's free!

A University of Queensland (UQ) researcher will play a key role with an international scientific team investigating the causes of Crohn's disease as part of the Eastern Inflammatory Bowel Disease Gut Microbiota (ENIGMA) project.
Professor Mark Morrison from the UQ Diamantina Institute and colleagues in Melbourne and Hong Kong are working on the ENIGMA study, to research the causes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The study has received a three-year grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust through the Australasian Gastro Intestinal Research Foundation (AGIRF).
The ENIGMA project is examining how the interactions between ethnicity, geography, diet and the gut microbiome are involved in Crohn's disease in both Asian and western populations.
Professor Morrison will be working on the ENIGMA study, alongside IBD experts from St Vincent's Hospital, The University of Melbourne, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and key IBD collaborative partners in mainland China. Professor Morrison said the grant will enable the ENIGMA team to delve into the microbiome of diverse populations to identify factors that influence the development of Crohn's disease and IBD.
Combining basic science, dietetics and clinical science, the ENIGMA team has been working for eight years across China, Hong Kong and Australia - with Australia already having one of the highest incidence rates of CD and China and Hong Kong being countries with rapidly increasing rates.
"With diagnoses of Crohn's disease on the rise worldwide, it is hoped this study will identify potential causes and result in strategies that can prevent new cases, and prolong remission for existing patients. We are excited by the prospects our discoveries can have for all Crohn's disease and IBD patients," Professor Morrison said.

In all partner countries, FLARECAST scientists participated in a variety of public events offering many opportunities for the large public to discuss topics related to the study of the Sun, space weather and our specialization: solar flare forecasting.
Etienne Pariat and Chloé Guennou are 'godparents' for high school classes introducing them to solar physics.
FLARECAST scientists have reached diverse target groups such as high school students, lay astronomers, foreign visitors and business associations. Some lectures included demonstrations of solar phenomena and interactively involved the audience.
Solar flares: The great challenge!
Où en sommes-nous de la Prévision de l'activité solaire et de ses impacts sur la Terre?
Living with the Sun, an unpredictable giant.
Forecasting flares in the 21st century (in Greek).
During the first year of the project, educational materials related to the Sun, space weather and solar flare forecasting have been developed and tested addressing children from the age of 5 to 15. From the age of 7, children work with HMI data as used by the FLARECAST project. Starting from the age of 10, children are introduced to the SunSpotter.org citizen science project. All materials are available on this website for everyone to conduct their own workshops. They have also been used in other situations such as talks and science fairs and as give aways.
In summer 2015, classrooms were visited throughout Ireland promoting the SunSpotter project for Irish kids.


This years 2006 Dampier Billfish Shoot out was the biggest ever! There were 61 boats and 201 anglers trying their luck at catching a few billfish and winning some prizes over the 3 days of fishing.
The weather was reasonable for the bigger boats but the littler ones definitely weren't handling the seas as well.
The fish were a little scarce compared to previous years but there were still quite a few around.
A lot of people were getting the fish up but could not stay connected long enough for as tag to be put in.
I would like to thank all the sponsors and everyone who competed in the event.
1st tagged Billfish female: Kate Mc Loud on Party of Five.
Champion Junior Tag and Release: Kate Mc Loud with 3 tags.
Champion Boat: Wet One with 9 Sailfish tags.
The major prize-winner of the Stacer-Mercury tinny: Gavin O'Brien.


Question #1: This is a fascinating idea. How come I've never heard of it before?
Answer #1: The idea behind Child IRA as discussed within the context of the book first appeared in the article "What Every 401k Plan Sponsor and Fiduciary Should Disclose to Employees: How to Retire a Millionaire (Hint: It's Easier Than You Think)," (FiduciaryNews.com, February 25, 2014). A spreadsheet accident led to a follow-up article, the first to mention the phrase "The Child IRA." The almost penicillin-like serendipity led to the publication of the article "This idea will solve the retirement crisis, guaranteed!" (BenefitsPro, February 26, 2014). It quickly became apparent The Child IRA could easily obviate the need for Social Security. This led to the article "It's time we create a Child IRA," (Benefit Selling, April 2014). Finally, the entire notion of The Child IRA was fleshed out and repurposed to become Appendix V in the book Hey! What's My Number? – How to Improve The Odds You Will Retire in Comfort, (Christopher Carosa, 2014, Pandamensional Solutions).
Since then, and especially given the publicity with the launch of From Cradle to Retirement's Kickstarter campaign, we've seen plenty of excellent questions about how The Child IRA works. We've distilled the most popular questions here.
Question #2: I like it! The Child IRA is a tremendous way for me to introduce a valuable tool to my clients. I do wonder, however, if it's a good idea to "guarantee" a person's retirement. In some ways worrying about our futures make us better as it's an incentive to become more engaged in our careers and engagement is healthy. How would the Child IRA impact a person's ambition?
Answer #2: First, like any other IRA, there are no "guarantees" regarding what the future might look like, there are only probabilities. The calculations assume an average growth rate of 8% – which is 3% below the historical average growth of 11% a year (that's enough to account for inflation, fees, and whatever else you want to account for). Then there's this mathematical reality: The $2.5 million 70 years from now merely replaces Social Security – the child will still need to save for retirement as an adult in order to secure a comfortable retirement. If that doesn't answer the "ambition" question, consider this. There's this behavioral trick bartenders do to encourage tips: They always place a few dollars in the "Tip Jar" before the customers arrive. Seeing money already in there encourages patrons to add to the kitty. Think of this Child IRA as the "Tip Jar." Once the child sees the money accumulating year after year, it is likely to trigger a behavioral response consistent with bar patrons: They'll be more likely to save more!
Question #3: I also wonder if people would be more apt to tap into funds that they didn't save themselves?
Answer #3: Oddly enough, the From Cradle to Retirement contains interviews with quite a few "children" who are now adults and whose parents established IRAs for them. Most of them seem to value the "lesson learned" and are even interested in starting Child IRAs for their children. One person, who had a Roth instead of a traditional IRA, did use some of the money to pay for graduate school. This is the issue with using Roths, but not with using traditional IRAs, since the Roths allow for non-penalty withdrawals for education. In both cases, withdrawals normally aren't allowed until age 59½.
Question #4: If parents learn that their children did use the money for frivolous purchases, how would they react and what impact would this have on the relationship they have with their children (i.e., "I can't believe little Billy spent his retirement on a Corvette, what a jerk!")?
Question #5: I watched the video on the Child IRA. It's a great concept, but a child can't open an IRA unless they have earned income. The video talks about putting money into a Child IRA at birth through age 19, but the child normally can't work until age 16 and receive a W2 in order to contribute to an IRA or a Roth IRA. Can you give me a little more detail on how that concept is to work based on that fact?
Answer #5: This is a great question as well as a common misperception. It's perhaps the single greatest reason why we haven't seen many people taking advantage of the Child IRA for their young children. In fact, children below the age of 16 do work and earn income. Yes, babysitting and mowing the neighbor's lawn counts as earned income, but children have real jobs, too. You don't think all those child actors work for free, do you? In addition to certain industries that regularly employ children under the age of 16, family owned business generally have no age restrictions when it comes to employing their own children. From Cradle to Retirement – The Child IRA – How to start a newborn on the road to comfortable retirement while still in a cozy cradle explains how to establish a Child IRA today in precise, easy-to-understand (and duplicate), detail through actual real-life case studies, interviews with industry professionals familiar with the ins and outs of hiring children, along with expert guidance from financial professionals versed in the mechanics of establishing Child IRAs.

February 21-23, 2017 (At Sea & Pitcairn Island)
After leaving Easter Island, we continued west. 3 days and 1,289 miles later, we arrived at the tiny volcanic island of Pitcairn (1 mile long x 2 miles wide). This island was inhabited by Polynesians until the 1500's, when it was abandoned for unknown reasons. It was not settled again until 1790 by a strange mix of evildoers and kidnap victims….
Do you know the scandalous story of The Mutiny on the Bounty? On April 28,1789, a group of sailors led by Assistant Lieutenant Fletcher Christian seized control of the HMS Bounty (a British ship) from their Captain, Lieutenant William Bligh. Christian set Bligh and 18 loyalists adrift in the ship's 23 foot open launch, hundreds of miles from land, with no nautical charts. The boat was severely overloaded, and they were given enough food and water for only 5 days. He doubted the group would survive. He was wrong. With strict quarter rationing, and a few stops on islands to gather provisions, Bligh and his men managed to complete an unprecedented 47 day, 4,000 mile voyage and land on Coupang, an island in the Dutch East Indies. Only one man died in route. He was stoned to death by hostile islanders on Tufoa as the launch tried to escape from land after gathering provisions.
The men were in pitiful shape by the time they reached Coupang and many died before making it back to England. Bligh did make it home to gave a full accounting of the scandalous event. Mutiny, a reprehensible act, was punished by death for all involved. In November 1790, the Admiralty dispatched Captain Edwards in command of the HMS Pandora to locate and capture the mutineers and return them to England to stand trial.
Meanwhile… after setting Bligh adrift, the Bounty headed back to Tahiti while Christian decided on a plan. When he was ready to leave, 14 of his fellow mutineers refused to go. They preferred to hang out and enjoy a hedonistic life with the sexually uninhibited Tahitian women. Clearly, their brains were otherwise occupied, and they didn't realize their freedom was fleeting. The HMS Pandora arrived 4 months later and easily captured all the mutineers. Christian was not among them, which infuriated Captain Edwards. He secured the men in a metal cage below decks, referred to as "Pandora's Box". 4 of the 14 mutineers died in the box when the ship ran aground and sunk on the Great Barrier Reef, before the box was unlocked. The other 10 men were eventually brought back to England where 3 were pardoned, 4 were acquitted (bribes?), and 3 were hung.
Right before Christian left Tahiti with 8 fellow mutineers, he invited several islanders onboard the Bounty for a party. After everyone was stinking drunk, he pulled the anchor and kidnapped the locals. When they sobered up, and figured out what happened, they were pretty peeved. Especially since Christian had no intention of taking them home. He had formed the idea of settling on Pitcairn Island, far to the east of Tahiti. Pitcairn had been reported in 1767, but its exact location was never verified. After months of searching, Christian rediscovered the island, 216 miles east of its recorded position. This charting error closed the deal. It would be extremely difficult for any pursuers to find them.
On arrival, the Bounty was stripped of everything useful then set ablaze close to shore and destroyed. This was a necessary precaution against discovery and made escaping impossible. The anchor was pulled up in the 1950's, and is on display in the town hall on Pitcairn. Nothing else, other then ballast stones remain underwater. There is no wreck to dive on, for those of you who are planning to race over here. Sorry!
Bounty Bay – Where the HMS Bounty First Landed.
The island proved an ideal haven for the mutineers. Uninhabited, virtually inaccessible, and with plenty of food, water and fertile land. For a short time, everyone existed peaceably. Then it all went wrong, and fast. Do the math. 9 Mutineers, 6 Tahitian Men, and 12 Tahitian Women. Hmm. Christian should have planned the kidnapping more precisely to make sure the sexes were balanced. After each mutineer took a wife, there were only 3 women left for the remaining 6 Tahitian men. Then, two women died the first year, and the mutineers snatched two more women. Leaving only one woman for the 6 Tahitian men. She may have liked a lot of attention, but that much? Doubtful.
Gradually, tensions and rivalries arose. By 1800, just 10 years after arriving on Pitcairn, all the men were dead, except John Adams, a mutineer. 13 were brutally murdered by each other. There was one suicide, and one died of asthma. Surprisingly, Adams became a capable leader of the remaining 9 women and 19 children. He taught literacy and Christianity, and kept peace on the island. By the time a British ship landed in 1810, they decided not to arrest Adams, understanding that the community was wholly dependent on him. Upon his death in 1829, he was honored as the founder and father of a community that became celebrated over the next century as an exemplar of Victorian morality.
The population over the past 200 years has ranged from 20-200 people. Right now, there are only 46 islanders living on Pitcairn; most are descendants of the mutineers. The rest? Running from the law, perhaps? 4 teenagers are currently going to high school in New Zealand. Most kids do not come back to the island after getting a taste of civilization, and the population keeps getting older. The British government supports the community (due to historical ties with the Bounty), but it is becoming very difficult to justify the huge expense for so few inhabitants.
There is a small supply ship (The Claymore) that arrives every 3 weeks from New Zealand with goods and up to 12 tourists. The round trip journey is 6 days.
Claymore Visits Every 3 Months
Claymore's Captain
There is not enough level ground for an airport or space for a dock in the small bay, so tourism is almost nonexistent. They get two TV channels. "Hope" a religious channel, and ABC from Australia. They have satellite internet which is extremely expensive. There is one doctor that signs up for a one year contract. If emergency care is needed, the helicopter ride to Tahiti is $60,000. There is no dentist.
They grow some vegetables, bananas, pineapple, papaya, taro (for flour), sugar cane, and breadfruit in the rich volcanic soil. They have a handful of farm animals.
There are 9 cruise ships scheduled to pass by this year, and most will invite the islanders onboard to sell their handicrafts like we did. They do not have many ways to make an income, and our passengers were happy to help out, in a rather psychotic, manic way. Here is a photo of the motley crew heading towards Queen Victoria. The guy in the front with the nipple rings (ouch), tattoos, and and iPad is the "immigration officer".

Immigration Officer – Pitcairn. Check out the Nipple Rings. Ouch!
The feeding frenzy of shoppers on board was a fascinating anthropological phenomenon to watch. Men and women alike. The Pitcairn tee shirt brandishing a Burning Bounty could have been the holy grail. 4 people deep at the stalls, blindly clutching at everything, from the tackiest necklace to the most overpriced wooden turtle. And, if the piece was signed with a last name of "Christian" or "Adams", it demanded premium pricing. The islanders left with their pockets bulging. There will be celebrations on Pitcairn tonight.
There are no taxes collected on Pitcairn. Nice. Are you ready to move?
Next stop. Tahiti. Stay tuned.

Rated Number One on the list of most awarded SF authors Mike Resnick is writer and publisher with over 40 years of experience. What made me big fan of Mike's writing is his humor, which is often even in his most serious writings. Yes, my puny attempt to do the same is inspired by the works of this great author and immensely funny and dear person always open and friendly with fans. Mike Resnick will be Guest of Honor of "Chicon7", 2012 Worldcon in Chicago.
Teagan: How did you start writing, what inspired you to write your first book?
Resnick: I've always been a writer. I sold my first article at 15, my first short story at 17. Writing my first novel was just a natural progression and I knew from the checks I got for articles and short stories that if I wanted to make a living as a writer I'd have to write novels.
Teagan: What is first for you, character or the outline of the story? How personal is your writing?
Resnick: Usually the theme that I want to address comes first. After that, it's a toss-up between character and plot. My short stories are much more personal than my novels.
Teagan: How do you bridge the gap between realistically possible and pure sci fi when you write?
Resnick: I always lean on the side of telling a human story. "Science fiction" is just a marketing term. I may use all of time and space when telling my stories, but -none- of them depend on the science.
Teagan: How do you deal with writers' block? What do you use to get 'reinspired'?
Resnick: Never had it. I think it visits writers who haven't done their preparation, who sit down and stare at a blank screen or page and wait for inspiration.
Teagan: Because of its connection with Ron L. Hubbard (founder of Church of Scientology), "Writers of the Future" contest is often watched with mistrust and by many avoided with fear. What can you tell us about your experience as judge and how would you present it to new and aspiring writers?
Resnick: I've judged it twice now, and in the 8 or 10 days I've spent out there the word "Scientology" has literally never been mentioned. There's no question that the contest has turned out some excellent writers: among the winners are Kevin J. Anderson, Tobias S. Buckell, Eric Flint, Patrick Rothfuss, and others of that quality. You can't argue with their results, which I think are fully comparable to Clarion's. I have collaborated with two of the 2010 winners, Laurie Tom and Brad Torgersen, and I guarantee you'll be hearing more from both.
Teagan: If you could have a dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Resnick: Theodore Roosevelt, who was the most accomplished American in history. Writer, politician, soldier, cowboy, ornithologist, taxidermist, hunter, historian, you name it.
Teagan: What advice do you have for someone who would like to become a published writer?
Resnick: Published writers sit down and write. Those who will be publisher rarely or never spend an inordinate amount of time talking about writing.
Teagan: Anything you want to add?
Resnick: Just that I wouldn't trade jobs with anyone. Royalty statements, maybe, but not jobs.
Thank you Mr. Resnick for your words of wisdom, it was great honor.
Thanks also go to questions contributors and Commander Miles Unum of Embassy Duronis II/Thunder for help with Interview preparations.
