So it's Easter Sunday morning here and I'm at home with Laura. Both of us are sick which means that we can't be at church celebrating Easter with everybody else. It feels a bit wierd – Easter should be about celebration and the new community and life – but while intellectually I assert that, my body is not present at the celebration and moreover it feels shattered.
And I was meant to be doing the children's talk today. "The Colours of Easter" using heaps of different coloured jelly beans to talk about all the different aspects (facets, Steve?) of Easter. Kim, however, has volunteered to do it so it should be good.
So today we look forward to new life – amen to that. We could use a little right about now.
Thinking of you being under the weather. Hope you're feeling better and more alive soon.

Q: How to use image built on onestep into another step I am trying to use bitbucket pipeline(migrating from Jenkins). Below is what I found from some blogpost
options:
  docker: true

pipelines:
  branches:
    development:
      - step:
          #python image with aws-cli installed
          image: example/awscli:3.8.3
          script:
            # aws login
            - eval $(aws ecr get-login --region ${AWS_DEFAULT_REGION} --no-include-email)
            # docker
            - export BUILD_ID=$BITBUCKET_BRANCH_$BITBUCKET_COMMIT_$BITBUCKET_BUILD_NUMBER
            - docker build -t ${AWS_REGISTRY_URL}:$BUILD_ID .
            - docker build --target testimage --tag testimage:$BUILD_ID .
            - docker push ${AWS_REGISTRY_URL}:$BUILD_ID
            - docker tag ${AWS_REGISTRY_URL}:$BUILD_ID ${AWS_REGISTRY_URL}:development

So in above step I am creating 2 images, Now I want to use testimage image in next step to test and if test passes I want to push the main Image into the ECR. How to use image from one step into another?

A: It is possible to access previously produced files, listing them as artifacts (check more).

A: You can use docker load/save functionality together with bitbucket artifacts, as described here
In short, this is how to use it
- step:
  name: Build docker image
  script:
    - docker build -t "repo/imagename" .
    - docker save -output tmp-image.docker repo/imagename
  artifacts:
    - tmp-image.docker
- step:
  name: Deploy to Test
  deployment: test
  script:
   - docker load --input ./tmp-image.docker
   - docker images
   # repo/imagename should be available now

Germany: Incident at Gronau enrichment plant
Source: Nuclear Engineering International | January 25th, 2010
Industry type: Nuclear Industry
Urenco is investigating after a worker at Germany's Gronau enrichment plant was exposed to uranium hexaFLUORIDE.
The incident occurred on 21 January when, during preparation of a container, a release of the radioactive substance occurred. One employee of who was operating at that time was admitted to hospital as a precaution for 24 hours for observation.
The affected air was passed through filters and the readings on the plant stack were below the regulatory limits, Urenco said in a statement. The appropriate authorities were immediately informed.
Meanwhile, Urenco, which operates enrichment plants in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands, has deemed 2009 "another year of strong business performance." The company also says its fourth enrichment plant in the USA is ready to start commercial operation, subject to receipt of regulatory approval.
According to the interim trading statement released 25 January, Urenco's net income for 2009 is forecast to be "significantly higher" than in the previous year because of a lower depreciation charge expected following an extension of the useful lifetime assumption of core equipment. In addition, there will be significantly lower net finance costs.
Urenco also said capacity expansion in Europe and the USA progressed well in 2009, with approximately 1200tSW added by year-end, bringing total Group capacity to 12,200tSW/year.
At the firm's Dutch site in Almelo, Hall 5 was completed and construction began for the installation of Hall 6. In the last quarter of 2009, the Board also approved further expansion at Almelo with extensions to both Halls 5 and 6. Construction at Almelo is expected to begin during the second half 2010. Operations at Separation Hall 2 in Gronau, Germany, began in 2009 following successful receipt of an operating licence.
Modular expansion of the European plants will continue into 2010 and beyond in order to achieve a Group enrichment target of 18,000 tSW/a by 2015, Urenco said.

Letter to the editor: Knoll Green Acres and High Rises?
Then is not now return to the wilds.
Mike dePierro's accomplishment in saving the Knoll Golf Course for Golfers and the rest of us; golfer or not.
Wish Mike was as dedicated to all our Parsippany landscapes like he was the Knoll Golf. Today; green acres would not except a golf course, as a legitimate green acres goal, unless it was to be converted by its surroundings into a extended forest or meadow or river sensitive area. As most golf clubs are self sustaining and do not require public funding..Mike needs to understand geology, ecology, hydrology and where Parsippany is exactly on gods earth. Land is not real estate its a natural resource with features and functions already working for us.
Thanks Anyway and is it really helping the town or just the Knoll Utility?
Anyway Thanks for the Knoll; liking it when no golfers are around, in winter then it belongs to all of us, not just golfers..By the way where did George Washington pitch his tent that part of the day on the "Knoll" on his way to Morristown Encampment? Could Georges tent sufficed for affordable housing? If Mike only felt that way about Waterview, Forge Pond and Mountain Way.
How about the concept all housing should be affordable, not market what ever the who can pay what for how long, when they choose and then leave us, over burdened.
It seems the High Rise Housing issue disturbed all, more than the loss of the landscape itself, and perhaps Parsippany missed a real opportunity under Green Acres and landscape concepts to return itself to more of its original nature; like Lake Hiawatha lost the Lake and now the once arcadian small homestead, cabin like character to McMansions that disrupt the small homes in their texture and views.
Waterview could well have been saved and Intervale Neighborhood Character Preserved.
Erasing of the last of the Hills of Troy, Doremus Ridge; the old Dodd estate; known as waterview for another shopping mall among empty mall spaces. Your formula during waterview was scorched earth to prevent housing while if one followed the course of knowledge concerning the issue and available implementations, waterview could never have been taken; it's very natural features would of saved it with avocation by local officials with the proper mindset, all the means were available. The dilemma could not be resolved by waterview being a golf course but simply a natural resource remaining in Parsippany Troy-Hills, but certainly open space, if not for Inglesino and his followers who ignored and disregarded laws and policies, our own master plan in favor of preservation; rather they and you favored RD developer in all their arrogance, lies and intimidation against your own community and unsound short term economic waste to more unnecessary land destruction.
Mike you do know Columbus did not discover America. America is not one big golf course or shopping mall..Time to retire.

In case of a terrorist threat: Emergency officials conduct training exercise in Midland
Published 7:55 am EDT, Thursday, June 23, 2011
Lt. Steve Elmer of the Midland Police Department, left, and Sgt. Lance Cook of the Michigan State Police discuss the plan to set up and maintain a buffer zone around Dow Chemical, Dow Corning and MCV at the staging area at Messiah Lutheran Church in Midland during an exercise on Wednesday. The exercise involved agencies from Midland, Bay, Saginaw, Tuscola and Genessee counties. less

Years of planning with the help of numerous agencies went into a training exercise that tied up the southeast corner of Midland around The Dow Chemical Co., Dow Corning Corp. and Midland Cogeneration Venture on Wednesday.
The exercise was to test plans for enhancing security in the event of a terrorist threat by creating a buffer zone outside the company's fence lines, said Midland County Emergency Management Coordinator Roger Garner. Employees and delivery drivers went through access control points in an effort to allow people with legitimate purposes into the area.
The massive training effort ran from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., encompassing 14 law enforcement agencies from six counties, said Midland Police Lt. Steve Elmer. Elmer, who spent 20 years working midnights for the department, was assigned a key role in planning the drill after helping developing the buffer zone plan itself.
"It's been a learning experience," he said, pointing out his tasks encompassed details such as training badges for participants, placards for vehicles and setting up packets with maps, job descriptions and schedules so everyone could pick one up and know what duties they were expected to perform. He also briefed law enforcement officers from the staging location, the Messiah Lutheran Church, 1550 S. Poseyville Road.
Elmer said he accompanied Garner to other counties to train them in the buffer zone plan.
All the jobs put him in contact with people he didn't often work with on his overnight shifts.
"To bridge those gaps, that's been the biggest thing," Elmer said, ticking off a list including 911, the Midland County Sheriff's Office and other agencies. Just parked at the church for one shift were officials from the National Guard, Michigan State Police, Flushing Police, Fenton Township Police, Saginaw County Sheriff's Office, Mott Community College, Saginaw Valley State University Police, Tuscola County Sheriff's Office, Saginaw Township Police, Bay County Sheriff's Office and Tittabawassee Township Police.
Elmer said the drill was divided into incident command, a staging area and patrols, and a communication plan — each group had its own talk group on the state police's 800 megahertz radios. That meant radio traffic from the training was not overheard on the local radio channels.
As part of the drill, law enforcement patrolled some roads in the City of Midland and Midland Township, including Poseyville, Gordonville and Waldo roads, plus Schuette Drive, Mark Putnam Road and Discovery Way. Some roads also were barricaded, including South Saginaw Road from Gordonville to Mark Putnam roads, and Salzburg Road from Waldo to South Saginaw roads.
Residents and motorists were notified of the training, closures and traffic backups ahead of time. Along with slow-moving traffic on streets around the area were some of the bicyclists participating in the 30th annual Pedal Across Lower Michigan bicycle ride. The ride began on the shore of Lake Michigan and ends on the shore of Lake Huron.
The law enforcement officials who participated were in good spirits during the drill, though it put them outside on a hot, muggy day.
Midland County Sheriff's Office Deputy Myron Greene was posted at the intersection of Gordonville, Saginaw and Waldo roads, directing traffic. He said the training was useful, and that even the out-of-towners had no problems working the area.
"Everybody understands their duties no matter where they're from," he said.

NIST Updating Mobile Forensics Guidance
Significant Tech Changes Challenge Forensic Examiners Eric Chabrow (GovInfoSecurity) • June 10, 2014
Apple unveiled the iPhone in June 2007, a month after the National Institute of Standards and Technology issued "Guidelines on Cell Phone Forensics." Seven years later, NIST is revising its guidance and giving it a new moniker, "Guidelines on Mobile Device Forensics".
See Also: The Application Security Team's Framework For Upgrading Legacy Applications
The latest version of the guide is known as the second draft of Special Publication 800-101 Revision 1. The final version of Revision 1 should be published later this year.
The revised guidance has two objectives, says Rick Ayers, who co-authored the 2007 and 2014 versions of the guidance: To help organizations develop appropriate policies and procedures for dealing with mobile devices and to prepare forensic specialists to conduct forensically sound examinations.
"The technology has changed so much within the past seven years; it was time to update the document to best meet the needs of mobile forensic examiners," Ayers says. "The older document, while technically correct, did not cover many of the more recent technologies in use today."
Ayers identifies the recent technologies to include micro SIM cards and flasher box extraction methods. Forensic experts use flasher box devices to recover user data from dead or faulty mobile phones.
Since 2007, changes have occurred in mobile device memory, identity modules and cellular network technology. In addition, mobile device tool classification systems, methods for handling obstructed devices and certain data preservation techniques didn't exist seven years ago.
Back then, about a dozen tools existed to help forensic experts recover and investigate data on cell phones. Today, the marketplace offers hundreds of tools, many designed for specific models of specific mobile devices.
No Know-It-Alls
"In the past, there were enough tools that you could hold them in your hands and say, 'I'm the master of all the mobile forensic tools,'" says guidance co-author Sam Brothers, a digital forensic specialists at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, part of the Department of Homeland Security. "We laugh at that now. But we've come to a point where that's virtually impossible. You have at least 100 different tools that are out there. For someone to try to know all of them would be very difficult."
The revised guidance provides on-site triage processing, illustrated with a flow chart outlining common situations encountered by forensic examiners. "There are so many different kinds of phones that are being used to support so many different kinds of cases in so many different kinds of situations," says Barbara Guttman, NIST software quality group manager.
The new guidance also furnishes updated acquisition and preservation techniques for handling current mobile devices.
"The publication is not intended to be used as a step-by-step guide for executing a proper forensic investigation when dealing with mobile devices nor construed as legal advice," Ayers says. "Its purpose is to inform readers of the various technologies involved and potential ways to approach them from a forensic perspective."
The draft publication discusses procedures for the preservation, acquisition, examination, analysis and reporting of digital evidence. The publication also addresses the ever increasing backlogs for most digital forensics labs and provides guidance on handling on-site triage casework.

New satellite fairs want a slice of the Frieze cake
Christie's to open its first fair in October; East end urban art display and Indie fair "Sunday" hope to fill the gap left by Zoo
By Gareth Harris | Web only
Published online 31 Jul 10 (News)
The man behind Christie's first art fair, which is set to open during Frieze week in October, has told The Art Newspaper that the auction house "has to be mindful of the trade" in light of the move, adding that "dealers selling primary market contemporary works" will form the basis of the fair. Christie's international head of prints Richard Lloyd says that the new event at the company's South Kensington salerooms ("Multiplied", 15-18 October), will be devoted to contemporary editions of, for instance, prints, photography and sculpture.
"Previous divisions between the primary and secondary market are no longer particularly relevant," adds Lloyd, who stressed that "there will be no direct competition between participating galleries and Christie's. Only five to ten per cent of what will be on show at the fair would have come up for sale at a Christie's auction."
So what's in it for Christie's? "We will benefit simply from people visiting South Kensington. It is now a great space in which to view contemporary art, and we want people to feel comfortable just dropping in to see what's on," comments Lloyd. Christie's contemporary art clients will reportedly receive promotional material about the event.
Thirty-five mainly London-based galleries keen to benefit from the Frieze collector traffic have signed up for the first edition. Admission will be free while stand fees range from £700 to £5,000.
Meanwhile, a new urban art event, Moniker International Art Fair (14-17 October), will open in London's east end at Village Underground, a vast Victorian warehouse. The fair is the brainchild of Kristophe Hofford, co-owner of the Shoreditch-based art and events space Blackall Studios, and Frankie Shea who runs the arts management and project-based gallery Campbarbossa.
"It'll be an alternative space to Frieze," says Vanessa Vainio, a fair spokeswoman. "The event will consist of six international galleries and six project spaces showcasing individual artists that will reflect the finer side of urban art with artists who have shown in major institutions and galleries," she adds, with participants including New Image Art of Los Angeles and Galleria Patricia Armocida of Milan. "Now seemed like the right time, in light of Zoo [an established Frieze satellite fair] not taking place this year," say Vainio who declined to reveal the stand charges; admission will be free.
According to the Zoo website, "Zoo Art Enterprises will not be presenting an event in October 2010". Its absence has also prompted the launch of "Sunday", a fair for young international galleries to be held in Ambika P3 (14-16 October), a subterranean space at the University of Westminster. Co-organised by London gallery Limoncello, the Tulips & Roses gallery in Brussels and Croy Nielsen gallery in Berlin, "Sunday" is set to include 20 galleries, some of which appeared in Frieze's 2009 "Frame" section for galleries under six years old, such as Berlin's Tanya Leighton Gallery.
So is "Sunday", which initially launched as a one-day event in Berlin earlier this year, a competitor to Frame? "Frame does not have the capacity [to accommodate] all galleries; quite a few good ones did not get in this year," says Henrikke Nielsen of co-organiser Croy Nielsen Gallery who adds that the "focus in London will be more international, with galleries from New York [On Stellar Rays and Laurel Gitlen]". Participants, who will pay a set £1,000 stand fee, were selected on an invite-only basis.
The low-cost approach has drawn parallels with the Independent fair held in New York in March during the Armory Show. "There are similarities, such as having open stands, but Independent is a bigger project," adds Nielsen.

Each audio addresses our course curriculum.
The Training Program is divided into three parts.
Parts 1 and 2 teach participants how to facilitate four different assessments. These screenings require no more than two to six minutes to facilitate, and (by design) people who are screened view the experience as interesting and enjoyable.
Parts 1 and 2 also teach course participants how to connect-the-dots during and after a screening. That way people can understand how incomplete lower brain development is directly linked to specific behaviors and performance.
Part 3 has a different focus.
Now, course participants learn how to apply knowledge of incomplete lower brain development when working with their students, clients, patients, and athletes. This then makes it possible to keep everyone in his or her cortex, thereby avoiding inadvertently triggering a primitive brain response when interacting with others.
The core training program also includes an extra section, Just for Teachers, to specifically help students with incomplete lower brain development shine in the classroom.
The Training Program does not include how to facilitate lasting changes in the brain.
When participants complete the Training Program, they're able to facilitate incomplete lower brain development assessments, explain how incomplete lower brain development can adversely affect daily life, and help others understand which specific modifications are best to help such people. But, no, the Training Program does not teach participants how to facilitate lasting brain organization. That's a completely different curriculum, which is the primary focus of our Family and Adult Programs.
In those specific programs, participants do learn how to organize their brain-but just for themselves-and that's with a lot of support and feedback from our Brain Highways staff. Since each brain is unique, it's a completely different training to learn how to facilitate brain organization with many people of all ages. That's why Brain Highways staff undergoes more than a year-long, hands-on supervised training, where they literally work with hundreds of people, before they are ready to facilitate brain organization for others.
Yet, Training Program participants are often the ones who lead the way to lasting brain organization.
Most people don't leap from learning they have incomplete lower brain development to making a commitment to organize their brain right when they're aware of this connection.
So, while participants of the Training Program do not facilitate lasting brain organization, they are able to give those they work with a glimpse of what life could be like if the brain were organized as intended. That's because Training Program participants learn specific techniques that help people with incomplete lower brain development compensate more easily.
And then, it's those experiences that often pique people's interest to learn how life might be like that-all the time-without depending on others to make such accommodations. That's when Training Program participants may choose to direct such people to our site to learn about specific programs that actually produce lasting changes.
Note that when clients, students, and patients do decide to organize their brain, prior Training Program participants consistently share the same observation. They're amazed at how quickly such people start making huge, notable gains in ways that they (the professionals) measure progress.

Master Key Systems vs Access Control Card Key Systems
Master Key Systems | 23rd August 2021
If you are looking to control access to a building that multiple people need access to, you'll likely consider both master key systems and access control card key systems. However, knowing which is the best option for you and your property can be tricky. For that reason, this article compares the two, highlighting the advantages and benefits of each.
What Is a Master Key System?
The master key system is a solution that allows landlords and company owners to assign individuals with keys offering different levels of access. The grandmaster key provides the owner with the ability to open all locks in the scheme, while keys lower down in the tier system begin to restrict access. How many access levels you have depends on your circumstances, operational complexity and security requirements.
Master Key Systems Advantages
Master key systems offer a host of advantages that make them attractive to businesses, landlords and other building managers.
A door lock master key system is one of the most affordable security options for shared buildings. They allow you to control exactly which key-bearers have access to specific spaces on your property without the need for heavy investment.
They also permit higher security. Whenever you use standard key systems for properties, there's always a risk that keys will be lost or stolen. If the HMO landlord has opted for an open system, there is a risk that unauthorised individuals can get your HMO properties key cut as an open system uses standard keys which all key bars nationwide have key blanks for. In a traditional setup, you have two options: either ignore the problem or replace all the locks at great expense. But with a master key system, you have a third option: rekey the lock to make it incompatible with the old subkey.
Improved Access Control
Master keys also provide property owners and managers with improved access to buildings. You can use master key systems to provide access across a wide range of properties using a single key, negating the need to carry vast numbers of keys around with you all the time. It also makes it easier to access a building in case of an emergency.
What is an Access Control Card Key System?
An access control card key system is another popular solution for situations in which multiple building users have varying access requirements. Under this setup, individual keycards provide selective access to predefined areas, such as individual rooms, entrances, garages, and recreational facilities.
Benefits of Using an Access Control Card Key System
Access control card key systems come with a host of benefits. These include:
With access control systems, you can swiftly manage your buildings security credentials, ensuring that each guest, tenant or employee can access the areas they are permitted to access.
Set Access Dates
Access control systems also allow you to programme dates and times that a certain individual can access a building. For instance, you may only permit hallway cleaning staff to access a building between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm to coincide with regular working hours.
Keep Track of Who Accesses the Building
Lastly, some keycards connect via software to control systems that let you track access usage.
Ultimately, the solution you choose depends on your access requirements. However, master key lock systems are a convenient, long-term solution that continues to function even as you scale.

Dream of Greenspan
Thread starter TheBramble
General Trading Chat
TheBramble
This was written by Dan Denning via Larry Levin. A narrative style that manages to outline with a light touch some fundamental issues which are fundamentally out of whack.
Don't ask us why the Maestro showed up in our dream. He just did. So we took the opportunity to ask him a few questions. We've reconstructed the conversation as best we can.
"Maestro...you hardly look yourself. It looks like twenty years have dropped from your face. It must be liberating not to have to worry about inflation anymore."
"What's inflation?"
"Ah yes. About that. Why haven't we seen it yet? You've seen massive fiscal stimulus plans the world over, a huge increase in the monetary base, and lower interest rates. But no inflation. Bond traders don't seem especially worried either. They are not demanding higher interest rates because they fear future inflation. And gold? Well, it's plodding along. But shouldn't it be going much higher as the supply of fiat money explodes?"
"You're thinking is so old fashioned. It's true. Or at least it used to be true. In the days when we had a gold standard, it was a great defense against government monetary fraud (that's what I used to call inflation, before I became a central banker)."
"Oh. What do you mean?"
"If each unit of paper currency in your hand is redeemable for gold, then each holder of paper units has the power to hold the government accountable for its fiscal and monetary policy. If the government prints too much money to pay for its spending programs, unit holders can redeem their paper for gold. This draws down the governments stores of real gold, forcing it to either reduce the supply of paper money, or lose all its gold."
"Why would it worry about that if it could just print more paper?"
"Because paper is not money. And your trading partners will not accept your paper if it is not backed by either real money or the ability to collect taxes from your people."
"I'm not sure I follow. Back up a bit for me."
"Okay. Back when everyone was on a gold standard, before the Great Depression, international accounts were settled in gold. It wasn't just citizens who could demand gold for their units. Nation states could do it to. Governments who ran up fiscal imbalances would see international holders of their currency redeem those paper units for real gold. This encouraged a kind of competition among nation states, or at least a kind of accountability. If you ran up deficits and borrowed a lot of money, gold flowed out to pay your creditors and to pay for your exports. Your inflationary monetary policy cost you your national inventory of gold and silver."
"So what happened?"
"My you ask a lot of questions."
"Hurry up. I think I have to wake up soon."
"Well, under a gold standard, governments are forced to manage their monetary system for the benefit of their people. You get a stable price level because the value of the money is not fluctuating constantly with changes in the money supply. Governments want to avoid causing a run on their gold supply that would result from fiscal and monetary mismanagement."
"Why did the world go off the gold standard if it was so good? What changed?"
"Lots of things. For example, with a gold standard, governments and people must live within their means. This is deeply unpopular with politicians, who must bribe populations with bright new shiny things to get elected. Gold makes it harder to bribe your people and win an election."
"Okay. What else?"
"For whatever reason, perhaps because it is in their nature, governments like to take their people to war. It keeps them distracted from other problems, usually caused by the government. But war is expensive. To pay for a war you must increase taxes or borrow money. If you increase taxes (directly or indirectly) you risk alienating your population and causing a tax revolt (and sending a lot of economic activity underground, out of the view of the tax collectors). So you have to borrow. It's the only way to greatly expand spending without raising taxes to punitive or socially disruptive levels."
"Ah. I see. Under a gold standard, you couldn't borrow excessively without causing a run on your nation's gold. So...a gold standard was a natural constraint on a nation's ability to make war."
"Yes. That doesn't mean nations didn't go to war before there was a gold standard. It just means that if you had to pay for your war with real money, it made it an expensive proposition. And if it undermined the value of the currency your citizens held, they were unlikely to support you. In a monarchy or dictatorship, that doesn't matter so much. But in a democracy, it matters a lot."
"If what you're saying is correct, Maestro, then there'd be a clear connection between the creation of fiat money which is not backed by gold at all, and war between nation states."
"There might be. But you're still thinking too small."
"What do you mean?"
"It's true that most nations suspended the gold standard upon entering World War I. This allowed them to run up ruinous debts to private bankers. They tried reinstating it, but then the Great Depression hit. And more than ever, governments needed the ability to print money to pay for domestic 'wars' on poverty and unemployment."
"Right. And then World War Two-which was partly a consequence of the ruinous debt and reparations Germany could not repay-came along and you saw a huge explosion in government debt, this time mostly through bonds."
"That's right. Which brings us back to inflation today. When the government finances exploding debts through the issuance of new bonds, investors typically demand higher interest rates to compensate for the inflation that results from the increase in the money supply. But today, in a kind of conundrum, bond investors are not demanding higher interest rates."
"Who knows? For one, they don't see inflation. They see falling prices that come with a collapse in global demand. But it could be that they fear the worldwide recession more than they fear inflation. The contraction in global trade and national GDPs has investors fleeing for the safety of bonds. This allows governments to print money and expand the monetary base with apparent impunity."
"Apparent?"
"Yes. Why, there in Australia where you're sleeping, the government is going to announce a budget in May which may include a $50 billion deficit. This is a country that had a surplus just a short time before."
"That's not as bad as my home country. In the U.S., the government is going to run a trillion dollar deficit this year. And it's told everyone that number will double. But it doesn't seem to have dented demand for U.S. bonds yet."
"No, it hasn't. And that's because without a gold standard, governments don't have to compete for capital as fiercely as they used to. They can all sell bonds to investors to finance deficits, provided the deficits aren't too jaw-dropping and provided they can continue to collect taxes to pay interest on the debt. Plus, they're colluding with one another to eliminate tax competition among countries, which gives them an even stronger grip on your wealth."
"I'm with you Maestro. But I don't see where this is going."
"Let me show you. Governments can only raise direct taxes (income taxes) so much before it negatively affects the economy (and social cohesion), which in turns lead to falling tax revenues as real economic activity slows. So a sure sign of governments that are getting desperate for revenue is an increase in indirect taxes."
"You mean like the alcopops tax here in Australia?"
"I've never heard of that. But if it's a tax that the supplier of a good or service passes on to the consumer then yes, that's exactly what I mean. It's an efficient way for the government to raise revenue without looking like it's being grubby, desperate, or just plain greedy. It can also claim the taxes are being raised to discourage socially undesirable behavior, but this is generally just a lie to disguise the need to raise revenues."
"Ah. I see. You know the alcopops tax is illegal anyway, by the way. The government collected revenue on a tax using a law that hadn't been properly been passed by the Parliament. How is that possible? What about the Rule of Law?"
"What about it?"
"Never mind. You need to finish your lecture before I wake up. When will inflation result from the large increase in the monetary base?"
"I have no idea, my boy. You see at its core, fiat money greatly accelerates the rate at which scarce resources are depleted. Land, labour, capital, and raw commodities are allocated based on a demand that isn't sustainable. If you do that long enough-let's say for the last seventy years or so-you get an entire global economy (and population) that exists because of the increase in credit. That's the world we live in. And it's all falling apart with the credit depression you've been writing about."
"Wait a second Maestro. Are you saying that the scope and scale of this economic contraction is a lot greater than anyone expects because the fiat money system itself is failing?"
"You said it. Not me. But it does make sense to say that the last twenty years or so of building national economies around the growth of residential real estate and the finance sector has greatly hastened us to a day of reckoning, as your friend Bill Bonner might say. We will find out if all that investment made by banks is merely 'temporarily impaired,' or if it represents an enormous misallocation of our collective resources and has made us poorer for years to come."
"So what should we do?"
"This is your dream. You decide."

*sigh* - and Thatcher only sold off the "family silver"
Fascinating stuff, although I am not totally convinced that the Gold Standard would have been the answer to our problems.
I mean, take the postwar expansion in the USA and Western Europe. This was an incredible period of expansion. I know we had Bretton Woods, but I am not sure this was a true Gold Standard (for the US, only). The rest of the world was pegged to the dollar.
It's true that once the fixed price of gold was abandoned (by Nixon) in 1971, and Bretton Woods effectively fell apart, things got a lot worse, but even during the period 1945-1971, there was a collossal increase in real weath and production of goods, even without an apparent increase in the money supply and rampant inflation.
There is certainly a link between money and war, money and energy, and energy and war, and indeed it was probably the Vietnam War that ultimately caused Nixon to abandon the fixed gold price.
Edit/Update: Actually, the Wikpedia entry for Gold Standard has some interesting comments about/by Greenspan:
Gold standard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yes, but the family silver was sold to us, even though it was already ours.
The gold was also already ours, but it was sold to others.
I don't disagree. Gordo's sin was the greater one.
Interesting that Mrs Thatcher was being mildly reprimanded by an old-fashioned "one-nation" Tory, well to the left of New Labour

Good post, and I completely agree with what's being said. Victor Sperandeo's book has a very interesting section on exactly this, relating it to what happened in France with Knox. There's also a pretty good Fast Show sketch along the same lines.

However, I think I would have bought gold, rather than government bonds.

The town of Hyden is located 292 kilometres (181 mi) east-southeast of Perth, Western Australia in the Shire of Kondinin. Hyden is home to Wave Rock, Mulka's Cave and Hippos Yawn, all popular local tourist attractions.
The traditional owners of the area are the Indigenous Australian group the Njakinjaki peoples who have inhabited the region for thousands of years. The many granite outcrops, land formations, waterways as well as flora and fauna are still culturally significant to them.Sandalwood cutters were thought to be the earliest European visitors in the area.The land in the surrounding area was opened up for agriculture in the 1920s. A railway was built between Kondinin and Hyden Rock in 1930. The townsite was gazetted in 1932 following demand for land around the railway terminus.The first wheat crop was harvested in Hyden in 1927.The Hyden Progress Association was established prior to 1931 when the town was home to about 100 settlers. In 1931 the town had another large wheat crop which was transported from the railway terminus at Lake Grace. The town was being surveyed and already had an oil depot, tea rooms and an agency with a store being constructed. A large catchment of water had also been built at Hyden Rock.y 1933 the railway line from Lake Grace to Hyden was also completed.Also in 1933 the Progress Association built a pavilion at the existing sports ground and plans were made to construct a town hall. The hall was completed prior to 1935.The town's economy continues to rely on agriculture but mostly in the form of cattle and sheep production that has a current value of approximately $35 million.

The hour-long documentary Let There Be Light follows grand masters of stained glass as they labor to complete a masterpiece: their last window for the Washington National Cathedral. The film – winner of the Best of Festival award at Washington, D.C.'s 2013 Independent Film Festival – now comes to CPTV on Monday, March 20, 2017 at 10 p.m.
Six years in the making, Let There Be Light showcases Rowan LeCompte and Dieter Goldkuhle, both of whom have passed away since work on the film began. LeCompte was a stained glass artist best known for creating 45 stained glass windows and six mosaic murals in the Washington National Cathedral. In fact, he designed his first window for the cathedral at the age of 16. Goldkuhle, who was born into a family of glass makers from the Bavarian region of Germany, was both a master craftsman and a philosopher.
The film documents their work on a window initially intended to take one year and be ready for the 2007 centennial celebration of the Washington National Cathedral's founding. The project takes longer than expected, however, and tension develops between the two men, and later, a major conflict erupts between LeCompte and the cathedral administration. Another grand master of glass, Mary Clerkin Higgins, is brought in to try and overcome these obstacles in order for this massive work of art to be completed.
Told with stunning images, this story of passion and creation celebrates the power and beauty of light, and aims to inspire and ignite the inner creative light within everyone.
Let There Be Light is presented by Connecticut Public Television (CPTV) and distributed by American Public Television (APT).

A performer, a mirror, a chair, a table filled with make-up, copious amounts of glue, hair and clothes—these build the framework for a multiple hour long morphing process, exploring possible identity expressions within the gender spectrum and beyond. The observers can closely witness time and again how one subjectivity is being destroyed while another one is already emerging, suggesting a conception of identity that is not based on a linear narrative, but rather on fragmentation, multiplicity, fluidity, failure, and unfinishedness.
But what happens when this mechanical mask painting is suddenly interrupted by the demolition of the mirror and the performer needs to entirely rely on the way that the Other sees her to be able to continue the never ending strainful metamorphosis of her skin's surface?

CB didn't listen to brokers: regulator wants to ban everyone buying shares of Apple and Google in 2021
The Central Bank, despite criticism from market participants, has not abandoned the idea to ban protected non-professional investors to invest in foreign securities without testing, RBC reported. The publication refers to the text prepared by the Central Bank amendments to the second reading of the bill on the categories of investors. The authenticity of the document confirmed familiar with the amendments, the source.
Informed Forbes with reference to sources wrote that in early July, the Governor discussed the bill with the participants of the stock market. Brokers were asked to soften the bill, in particular, to abandon the idea to prohibit protected non-professional investors to buy foreign securities, told the friends of Forbes. But according to one of them, the head of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina, "were strongly opposed to the common investors in foreign securities".
The head of the Central Bank refused to allow everybody to buy shares of Apple and Google
The bill has already passed in the first reading, now it is prepared for the second. He proposes to divide investors in the stock market in four categories. To simple unskilled investors are invited to refer to citizens, the amount or value of the securities is 400 000 and more. Simple to qualified parties with assets in the amount of 10 million rubles, or with experience in the financial markets. For professional investors — persons with special international certificate great experience on financah or net assets of not less 50 million roubles. All others will be counted among the specially protected non-qualified investors. They, under the bill, will be able to invest only in the most intuitive and reliable tools, according to the Central Bank, — securities from the quotation lists of the first and second level, mutual Funds, foreign currency and precious metals.
The amendments to the second reading of the Central Bank proposes to make the following changes:
To move the anticipated date of entry of the bill into force by 1 January 2021. In the version adopted on first reading, the document should come into force two years after adoption and publication. The document does not specify how new requirements will affect open positions non-professional investors.
In addition, the Central Bank assumes that the investor will have to save up to 1.4 million rubles, to get a promotion in the category, which will allow you to invest in a wider range of assets. In early July, it was about the threshold of 400 000 rubles, while the market participants were encouraged to lower the bar to 160 thousand. Strap 1.4 million rubles, "corresponds to the level of protection of deposits in the insurance system", reminded the press service of the Central Bank.
The Central Bank also wants to oblige protect investors through a broker or other financial specialist testing knowledge of the risks. Without testing they will not be able to access a number of tools, for example, to margin (they take the money from the broker) and foreign securities, including stocks of major international companies. About testing while it is known only that it will be free, and to participate it will be possible, leaving the statement from the broker. Testing standards will be developed after the adoption of the bill, said RBC source in the financial market.
"No final decision will be made during the discussion of amendments at the state Duma. Currently, the Bank of Russia was discussing the bill a second reading with market participants", — quotes RBC press service of the regulator.

Phire CMS (pronounced "fire") is an open source content management system and publishing platform for managing the content of websites and web applications. Phire CMS is licensed under the new BSD license, is written using the MySQL database and the PHP programming language.

History
The Phire CMS project started in 2009 by developer Nick Sagona and was born out of a collection of custom-built content management systems that had been developed by Nick to meet specific client needs. The project started under the code name Phoenix, but was changed to Phire before the official release. Phire is heavily influenced by what has become a standard set of expected features available in other CMS projects, but offers a handful of additional features built directly into the application, such as multiple site management and mobile access and presentation.

The core of the Phire CMS version 1 branch is specifically built on top of the object-oriented PHP library, Moc10 PHP Library, and uses the JavaScript library, Jax JavaScript Library, to enhance the overall user interface and user experience.

Releases
Official coding and development of Phire began in the beginning of January, 2010. Beta-testing occurred between August, 2010 and October 2010, and the official release of the stable version 1.0 was released on November 1, 2010. An update to Phire, v1.0.1, was released on November 22, 2010, addressing security and adding a few small upgrades. Phire CMS v1.1 was released on January 9, 2011, and contains a host of new features and updates, including an easier installation process and support for 12 languages.

Although the name "Phire" has no direct connection, the naming convention for the project code names is influenced by the Marvel Universe, particularly the X-Men set of characters. The project code names do not always have to relate to some element of fire or flame. The "Ph" in Phire itself is more of a play on the "PH" of PHP, the programming language in which the project is written.

Future release
Development for Phire CMS v 2.0 was announced on April 4, 2012, and is currently underway. It will utilize the next generation of the PHP framework that it was built on, the Pop PHP Framework, moving on from the Moc10 PHP Library, which is now at its end of life. While the new version will most likely break backward compatibility and require PHP 5.3 or greater, a good many robust features will be built in and improved upon as directed from community input and feedback.

Features
Phire CMS has many features that are built in, but it also provides a platform for the application to be extended via its API. Phire also takes a more aggressive stance on its support of PHP, as it requires PHP 5.2.6 or above and is fully compatible with PHP 5.3. Phire does not support PHP 4. It also requires MySQL 5.0 or above.

 Installs on Linux, Unix, Windows or Mac OS based servers
 Uses Apache, Microsoft IIS or any web server platform that supports URL rewrites
 Language support for 12 languages
 Multiple site management is built-in; system administrators can assign different users to different sites.
 Multiple user access levels
 Open authoring—system administrators can allow or disallow users to work on others' content.
 SEO-friendly URLs and meta-content management
 Site content syndication feed
 Mobile system access and alternate mobile presentation for content is built-in
 Built-in support for popular WYSIWYG editors
 Robust file and image settings, including image sizing and batch image uploads
 Extensive site member control, including registration, login and member session management
 Spam filter and CAPTCHA built-in for site input interactions
 Page caching for performance
 Built-in sections to group and order content and assets together for display as needed; sections can be nested as well.
 Built-in external feed integration
 Integration and support for the popular video engine sites (YouTube, Vimeo and Viddler)
 Support for extensions—themes to quickly apply different designs and plugins to extend the application's overall functionality.

Vulnerabilities
A handful of security issues were discovered in the first official release of Phire CMS. According to Secunia, Phire CMS v1.0 had 25 scripts with a maximum rating of "Less Critical" in the areas of cross-site scripting and manipulation of data. A total of 36 scripts were patched for security for the Phire CMS v1.0.1 release.

'The Best of Enemies' Film Review Across the Aisle
M.N. Miller 0
Film, Film Reviews
The Hollywood studio system has taken civil rights films in the direction of the exploitation genre, which doesn't mean The Best of Enemies is bad medicine; it just makes it a placebo.
I just watched the exploitation film Dragged Across Concrete recently, where I thought the director took the genre and made it an art form. The recent trend of films based on civil rights events and original works of racial disparity has caused studios to sanitize those same films into Hollywood feel-good or family-friendly pictures. In short, the studio-system has used this subject as the new exploitation genre. That doesn't mean The Best of Enemies isn't a good or entertaining film; it just makes it the placebo of medicine.
The Best of Enemies is based on the friendship — the "unlikely" relationship is practically a cliché — between the real-life civil rights activist Ann Atwater (Taraji P. Henson, in fine form here) and the local chapter president C.P. Ellis (Sam Rockwell), an award-winning one at that (no joke: he is awarded, per the film, The Cyclops of the Year award, that is handed out by the KKK to its chapter presidents). They are brought together after the local school that is zoned off for the African-American kids was set on fire and Atwater's fight to desegregate the schools in Durham, North Carolina. They take part in a charrette, a meeting in which all stakeholders in a project attempt to resolve conflicts and map out solutions, led by Bill Riddick (Rogue One's Babou Ceesay) to bring the two sides together then resolve their issues for the next two weeks (yup).
The Best of Enemies was written and directed by Robin Bissell (a producer of The Hunger Games) that he adapted from the book The Best of Enemies: Race and Redemption in the New South by Osha Gray Davidson. This is his directorial debut and it's a misguided one. In trying to humanize a racist bigot while trying to make you feel for a character that is heinous is an interesting concept; the issue is they try to do that before he sees the error of his ways, not after.
The cast is strong, but the script is not. Taraji P. Henson revels in her homespun role as a local civil-rights activist who takes a phone and knocks it up against the side of a local white politician (oh, look, she's sassy), while Rockwell does a nice job showing the hidden liberal soul that he has yet to find (oh, look, he actually has a heart of gold). Anne Heche plays the token role of a wife who is loyal, yet ashamed of her husband. There are, though, two supporting turns that should be worth mentioning; Gilbert Glenn Brown delivers a powerful speech as real-life figure Howard Clement about the differences between the children in his community and Ellis's. Then there is Ceesay's portrayal of Bill Riddick, the man who runs the charrette. His portrayal of Riddick is an interesting one, a man who is caught between members of the KKK, who are clearly against wanting an African-American man telling them how to live their lives, and the other side of the community that calls him an Uncle Tom.
Therein lies the point– The Best of Enemies is a classic example of forcing a story to cater around its stars when the most interesting part about the film, the charrette, is relegated to a secondary story. Bissell's film would have been more engaging if it started and ended from the perspective of the real-life Bill Riddick, acting as the lawyer negotiating between the two characters' real-life subjects. This film was already covered well in the documentary Best of Enemies in 2015. Far too much time is wasted on both characters arguing with each other over issues the audience can only side one way with, then must sit through an attempt to humanize a local leader of a perpetually racist organization. The film would have been a far better one coming from a perspective that few films have ever delved deeply into (even if the role of the charrette was just an exercise in politics).
For the film's flaws, all indications show that, for the most part, it was factual. Unlike Green Book, where the family of Don Shirley called foul on the real-life friendship with Tony the Lip, Atwater and Ellis are both on record as being friends up until the end. Ellis, in the film, admits he had to pay for his sins as a man who, early in life, was never prouder of himself than when he obtained his KKK member card, then coming to the cold, hard truth while having his mind changed during a two-week period during the summer of 1971. The film is well-made, and the production design is flawless, down to the vintage look, even capturing the humid Southern heat and the lack of air conditioning we are all so used to today.
When you break the film down, the message of it is a sincere one about changing the hearts and minds one man at a time about racial bigotry, which is admirable. At the heart of the matter, the film wants to tell a story about how one man's heart and mind were changed by one woman's efforts.
Ultimately, it takes a historically documented incident with a feel-good spin in the hopes of attracting a larger audience. The lack of equal treatment for Bill Riddick's role in the desegregation of the Durham school system, though, makes me think the filmmakers missed the point of the story entirely.
Side note — one of my biggest pet peeves in films is product placement. While you must admire the attempt of a retro look of a cup of coffee that has a Coke advertisement on it, no matter the angle that toggles between Henson and Rockwell, it is clearly moving so you can read Coca-Cola (I guess Coke does bring people together).

Andrea Rossi, an engineer who has captured the attention of the scientific world with two successful tests of his "E-Cat" cold fusion reactor, arrived at the State House on Tuesday morning for two days of meetings with government officials and representatives of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Massachusetts and Northeastern University.
Mr. Rossi's reactor, if successfully proven and developed, has the potential to change the way the world deals with energy, and I'm pleased that he's willing to discuss basing its production in Massachusetts.
Rossi's E-Cat reactor, which has thus far been developed and tested in the Italian city of Bologna, is intended to produce large amounts of energy from a reaction between nickel and hydrogen. The reaction produces heat which then heats water to produce steam, from which electricity can be generated. Importantly, the process creates little to no radiation, a major problem for the nuclear fission process currently used to produce power in reactors around the world.
The enormous potential of this technology demands that it be addressed by the best scientific minds in the world. Since Massachusetts is the home of some of the best colleges and universities in the world, it makes sense for that process to happen here.
Our institutions of higher learning have been tremendous in their response to this opportunity, and I look forward to working with them.

Oracle settling with ex-worker over alleged fiddling of cloud accounts
Oracle has informed a federal court that it is settling a lawsuit in which a former employee had charged that she had been terminated from her job for refusing to go along with accounting principles that she did not consider lawful.
In a joint submission Wednesday to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, lawyers for Oracle and the former employee Svetlana Blackburn asked for the vacation of a case management conference scheduled for Thursday, while submitting a notice of settlement to notify the court "that the lawsuit has been settled in principle, and to request thirty (30) days in which to file a dismissal."
The lawsuit had drawn interest amid concern that companies could be dressing up their cloud revenue in a highly competitive environment. Gartner, for example, warned in December 2015, that "assessing vendor cloud revenue claims has become more challenging, with many vendors' IT-related businesses being complicated and nuanced."
In her lawsuit filed last year, Blackburn, formerly a senior finance manager in Oracle's cloud business, alleged that senior management was trying to fit "square data into round holes" to boost the financial reports of the cloud services business. Her superiors are alleged to have ordered her "to add millions of dollars in accruals to financial reports, with no concrete or foreseeable billing to support the numbers."
The former employee also claimed to have warned her supervisor that she would blow the whistle if instructed to continue in the same manner, but her employment was terminated on Oct. 15 even though she had received a positive performance review in August of the same year.
Oracle has countered that Blackburn made revenue forecasting errors for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, covering June 1, 2015 through Aug. 31, 2015, and "she refused to accept responsibility for them." The company's managers lost confidence as a result of the errors in her ability to "effectively perform her job as a manager and generate accurate forecasts."
Blackburn never said that she would "blow the whistle," or make any statements that any accruals violated applicable securities laws or regulations or amounted to shareholder fraud, the company said in a filing.
The former employee, who sued Oracle for punitive damages, claimed protection under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that protects employees from discrimination after they make disclosures under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which is legislation that aims to prevent corporate accounting fraud and errors.
Both sides said in a filing earlier this month that a settlement could not be reached after mediation. Oracle had said in June last year that it intended to sue Blackburn for "malicious prosecution."
Oracle and Blackburn's lawyers did not immediately comment on the proposed settlement or its terms.
District Court Judge Edward M. Chen has ruled that an order of dismissal with prejudice should be filed within 30 days. A dismissal with prejudice would bar Blackburn from filing another lawsuit on the same claims.

Fish Sampling
Using different types of fishing methods, LDWF biologists regularly sample fish and shellfish populations, as well as the water itself, in fresh and saltwater environments. Each type of sampling targets a different size of various species and provides samples across age groups. Each sampling method is standardized—the same gear, technique, time of year, and stations are typically repeated over time. Sampling stations are selected to represent different habitats throughout a waterbody.
Biologists record important information about the samples they catch, counting and measuring their samples and sometimes dissecting and studying them to determine their sex, age, diet, and reproductive information . They then use this information to assess the status of fish and shellfish populations and in other research.
LDWF biologists sample these waterbodies to better understand their physical conditions, status of the fish stocks within them, and the effect of man on habitat and fish.
Freshwater Sampling
Louisiana's diverse inland waters include manmade impoundments, backwater complexes, river systems, and brackish coastal lakes. The state is divided into nine inland districts —each district is responsible for creating management plans that set up sampling schedules for the major commercially and recreationally-fished waterbodies within its borders.
Freshwater sampling methods include electrofishing, hoop nets, lead nets, gill nets, and seines. As the name suggests, electrofishing applies an electric current to the water through a pole or boom placed into the water, stunning fish. The stunned fish float to the surface where biologists collect them in fiberglass landing nets. Biologists primarily conduct electrofishing from a boat but can also use a backpack unit for sampling smaller areas such as streams. LDWF conducts electrofishing sampling twice a year—during the spring, biologists sample black bass and crappie, and during the fall, they focus on black bass and forage species (small fish species that larger fish eat).
LDWF biologists use hoop nets to sample catfish species during late spring and mid-summer. Hoop nets are tube-shaped nets separated by a set of hoops spaced along the length of the net to keep it open. Each hoop is tapered to a small opening called a throat, which prevents fish from swimming out of the net. Biologists fish two hoop nets in tandem with both ends anchored to prevent the nets from moving. They bait the nets with cheese or soybean chips placed in bait bags behind each throat to increase catch.
LDWF biologists use lead nets during a couple days in the fall to sample crappie and sunfish species. Lead nets are similar to hoop nets, but the openings facing each other are connected by a weighted panel of net that forces the fish to swim into one of the hoop nets.
LDWF biologists use gill nets to sample striped and hybrid striped bass and commercial species such as gizzard shad, carp, and buffalo fish during overnight sets in the winter. Gill nets are a set of vertical panels of varying mesh size often set out and fished in a straight line. As fish try to swim through the net, they get stuck between the mesh openings. Biologists collect fish from the net as the net is picked up. Each panel is made of a different size mesh to target different size and species of fish.
Through shoreline seining, LDWF biologists anchor a vertical net to the shoreline, stretch it perpendicular to the shore, and swinging it back around toward the shore to capture fish inside the net. The net is equal to or higher than the waterbody and weighted on the bottom to keep it on the water bottom and prevent fish from escaping. Biologists use shoreline seines to sample black bass and sunfish species at night during the late summer.
LDWF also samples freshwater mussel species around the state. Mussels are an indicator species for the health of freshwater systems. Three-person crews of biologists sample mussels by wading in small streams and performing timed tactile searches for live mussels and shells. They also use SCUBA gear in waters deeper than one meter.
Saltwater Sampling
Inshore and Nearshore
For inshore and nearshore waters, LDWF has divided the state's coast into five coastal study areas (CSAs) along the boundaries of the five major basins along the coast. In each of these areas, biologists conduct sampling focused locally on shrimp, crab, oysters, and coastal finfish like red drum and speckled trout.
Throughout the year, biologists use different sizes and types of trawls to sample shrimp in various habitats to determine season openings and closures. They also use otter trawls to sample blue crabs across the state's inshore waters and territorial sea to determine their abundance.
Every July, LDWF biologists conduct square meter sampling to assess oyster populations on the state's public oyster areas. They SCUBA dive on designated sampling stations within each CSA. At each station, they randomly place a square meter frame on the oyster reef and collect all live and dead oysters, reef-associated organisms, and exposed reef material from the surface layer within the frame. They replicate this process five times at each sampling station. Once the samples are back on the boat, biologists identify, separate, and count live and dead oysters, spat, fouling organisms, oyster predators, and hooked mussels; they also measure and sort the oysters. Biologists use the data from square meter sampling in yearly oyster stock assessments.
LDWF biologists also use oyster dredges to monitor the state's oyster reefs throughout the year. An oyster dredge is a metal frame with 10 teeth on one side that break up the ground as the dredge is pulled across the water bottom. Dredged material is collected in a net or bag that is attached to the frame. Biologists examine the material for recent oyster spat (larva) settlement and signs of mortality.
LDWF samples saltwater finfish year-round along the coast. Biologists use gill nets, like those used in freshwater, to sample juvenile fish such as spotted seatrout and other species for abundance, year class strength (how many young of year are present), and species' movements. They also use bag seines to capture smaller prey species in marsh-edge and shoreline habitat—the seine is anchored to the boat and a biologist enters the water to open and close the seine. They use otter trawls to sample finfish in larger inshore bays and waterways. During October through March, biologists use trammel nets to sample species such as red and black drum. Trammel nets are a type of gill net. A panel of smaller mesh is sandwiched between panels of larger mesh—this design allows for sampling of a large range of sizes and species. In addition, biologists in some of the CSAs have been experimenting with electrofishing in the marsh and shoreline habitats to sample these same populations. Early results have shown that electrofishing may be a better sampling gear in certain locations.
Offshore sampling is often conducted as part of regional and national efforts, such as the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP), a cooperative state, federal, and university program to collect, manage, and disseminate fishery independent biological and environmental data from the marine waters of the southeastern United States. LDWF biologists participate in a several SEAMAP projects, including sampling plankton, groundfish, and species caught with bottom longline and vertical line fishing gear.
Biologists collect plankton by towing fine mesh nets that taper into a collection tube next to a moving boat. (Plankton is the collective name for microscopic eggs and larvae of fish and crustaceans that live adrift in the ocean currents.) Neuston nets collect surface plankton, and bongo nets collect plankton found lower in the water column. Biologists retrieve the nets after a set time, then sort and count the collected samples.
Biologists tow a standard commercial shrimp trawl across muddy bottoms to sample an assortment of groundfish, other juvenile finfish, and invertebrates such as shrimp. After each trawl, all of the specimens are collected, measured, weighed, and catalogued. By using a shrimp trawl, biologists are able to sample the juveniles of important species that cannot be caught in other surveys.
Biologists set bottom longlines—long mainlines with baited droplines attached at even intervals—to sample larger animals along the bottom of the ocean. After a set amount of time referred to as soak-time, they retrieve the lines and measure, weigh, and typically release each catch. The soak-time is short, increasing the likelihood that released fish will survive. Some samples are kept for further study such as determining age and growth information. Various species of sharks make up the bulk of the catch, but red snapper, grouper, and other bottom dwellers occasionally show up.
In vertical line sampling, biologists use bandit reels—large spooled commercial fishing reels—to lower a line of hooks suspended above a large weight to the bottom around structures such as oil rigs. Hook sizes are varied to sample different sizes of fish. Bait type and soak-time are standardized, and biologists document all aspects of the catch for further analysis. Red snapper is one of the most common catches in vertical line samples.
Some of the most important information that biologists collect is about the water itself.
Water Quality Sampling
In both fresh and saltwater habitats, biologists gather information about the current conditions at each sample site using a handheld meter with a digital probe that is lowered to various depths in the water column to read the water. Based on sampling needs, these meters can read temperature, turbidity (the amount of particulate matter in the water), dissolved oxygen, pH, and conductivity. By understanding the chemical and physical characteristics of the water, biologists can determine how certain conditions affect fish populations.

Beautiful photos! Did I tell you about the red bird we saw in The Gambia?
Are you sure it wasn't in Senegal? If ti wasn't flying east and west it was not in Gambia.
I don't think ist was a cardinal bird, just a bright red one! Definitely was The Gambia, I've only been to Gambia and Egypt in Africa, so far!
Closest I have come to being in Africa was a view of the Atlas mountains as our ship transited into the Med.
That must have been amazing…. was it summer?
Yes. We stopped off at Gibraltar for R&R. Great port of call.
What lovely pictures! We see quite a few cardinals on our road, and yesterday I saw a blue jay as well. Spring! Spring! Spring!
what a delight. I love cardinals and their bold songs. This made me smile. Of course, it also makes me happy that you have snow and all ours has melted. C'mon spring.
Actually, these pictures are a couple of weeks old. We are now enjoying temps in the 70s and 80's. Thanks for the comment.
I loved these. Wonderful to see that red against the white.
I'm glad you feed them.
I liked that contrast too. They pay us back by providing entertainment.
People are always telling me my blog is for the birds, so I figured…….
Beautiful pictures. I have a pair of cardinals (or they have me) and I treasure them. I wish I had the beautiful snow you have. You must live in the south, because I live near the Canadian border and we haven't had any snow this year!
Yes, we're in Virginia. We had a couple of 5 inch snowfalls late in the season. As an Elmira boy, I remember when upstate New York was the snow capital of the world. Not so much anymore, I guess.
Snow, did you see snow this year? Where for goodness sake? Love the photos. I am bird crazy. Especially woodpeckers.
We're in Charlottesville with your granddaughter. Didn't she tell you about our snowfall?
My lovely wife gets credit for the photos. Thanks.
Yes, they are very jumpy birds. If they see us moving inside they fly away. By the way, your comment showed up in my spam folder this time. Wonder why?
