Keep your eyes peeled for snakes, lizards and slow worms in Spring

There's something a little unnerving about seeing a snake in Britain for the first time. All the classic features are there; the diamond-shaped markings, the forked tongue dancing in front of a pair of blood-red eyes and a slightly increased heart rate that suggests you're not quite sure what its next move will be.
For some, the very idea that there are snakes in Yorkshire at all may be enough to come over all Indiana Jones and start waving around a flaming torch. For the rest of us, it still seems remarkable that that such a wide range of warm-blooded creatures can make a home so far from the equator.
It is however, the cooler weather of early spring at these northern latitudes that provides perhaps the best chance to get close to our native reptiles as they wake from their winter slumber. From adders to grass snakes and lizards too, they're quite literally chilling out.
For the past few months, these scaly residents have been sheltering in their rather grandly-named 'hibernacula' – piles of rocks, rubble, compost heaps or anywhere with a steady ambient temperature. As the days grow longer, they rise with the gradually warming sun and venture out.

Adders are typically the first to emerge, with the males often appearing in March and sometimes even in late February, spending the weeks until April shedding their dull winter skin in favour of a rich black and green attire. The female adders follow soon after, stunningly well concealed when curled-up against the rusty-red brackens of winter in their chocolate brown and burnt orange jacket.
These seasonal serpents typically prefer dry, exposed areas with a south facing aspect and vegetation that provides a good balance of protective cover to slip into, but opportunities to spread out and maximise exposure to the vital blood-warming spring sunshine. Heathlands like Skipworth and Allerthorpe near York, and large conifer woodlands like those of Dalby Forest provide just such conditions.
Despite the reputation of their Hollywood cousins, adders are generally shy and elusive – blending remarkably well into the undergrowth. To that end, and despite being our only venomous snake, they offer little threat unless deliberately provoked or accidently trodden on. To enjoy them is simply a matter of common sense – if you keep a respectable distance there's memorable behaviour to be witnessed, including for the very lucky, the entwining and enchanting adder dance.
Sadly, like so many creatures who are often vilified after displaying what is in fact natural behaviour exhibited when they are under threat, adders remain a reptile that teeter on the conservation brink, always at the mercy of a constantly changing countryside.

Hot on the scaly tail of the adders are the supporting cast of other British reptiles from the common lizard (often on the adder's lunch menu), to slow worms and grass snakes.
More often than not, a snatched glimpse of a 'common' or viviparous lizard is the classic, did I or didn't I? A closer inspection of a sun-drenched rock or the shady side of a nature reserve boardwalk may find you with coming eye-to-eye with these harmless miniature dragons. A moment or two of patience after a rustle in pathside grasses may be rewarded as they struggle to resist the warming rays and re-appear in short, split-second bursts of movement.
Not only one of the most northerly of the reptiles, its viviparous characteristics mean it in fact gives birth to live young, unlike the majority of other reptilian counterparts. The uplands of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors offer plenty of opportunity for common lizards, while Strensall Common near York is a popular location too.
Rather less abundant and remaining something of a mystery in terms of its status in Yorkshire is the slow worm. In fact a legless relative of the lizard, its shiny, metallic appearance looks like a miniature-scale snake, with another classic feature being the presence of eyelids (unlike many other reptiles).

Also keen on grassy heaths and sun-drenched spots, the slow worm can equally have a penchant for larger gardens and allotments, where compost heaps make a great hideout.
Perhaps the biggest fan of compost heaps however, is the grass snake. These metre long garden neighbours probably offer your best chance of an encounter with a reptile in Yorkshire – as they're our largest – and rather helpfully, non-venomous to boot.
Usually an attractive olive green, but lacking the tell-tale diamond markings of an adder, they often have a pale yellow or cream 'collar' behind the head.
With a somewhat Catholic diet that includes frogs and toads (and even the odd fish) at one end, and small mammals, eggs and small birds at the other, the grass snake has mastered that art of adapting. Its party trick though, is a confident swimming prowess, no doubt a handy skill when the menu is such a smorgasbord of life in the undergrowth.
There's no surprise then, that Yorkshire's wide range of wetland nature reserves are popular spots to seek out a sunbathing grass snake. With that liking for compost heaps, piles of grass and hay, basking atop these high-rise residences is all in a day's work.
A great area is Yorkshire Water's Tophill Low, or the Wildlife Trust's Potteric Carr (where grass snakes have been seen swimming in the pool in front of the new visitor centre) along with Staveley, near Harrogate or Sprotborough Flash in South Yorkshire.
Indeed, many nature reserves now intentionally leave these metre-high grassy pyramids in suitable spots, which grass snakes not only use for basking, but also raising their young due to the heat generated inside.
So whatever your opinion of Yorkshire's reptiles, why not put your fears aside this month and make sure they're not your last wildlife crusade.
What to look out for this month
This month the cuckoo flower or 'lady's smock' brings bursts of subtle pinks to wet spring meadows. Thought to coincide with the arrival of that more traditional harbinger of longer days the cuckoo, these early blooms are welcomed by some of the first butterflies to hit the wing, such as the orange-tip.

Laurier officially opens Toronto office
Campus · September 23, 2009 8:19 am ·
TORONTO – Sept. 22 marked the official opening of Wilfrid Laurier's new office in Toronto. Situated within the Exchange Tower building at King and York Street, the office is centrally located within the city's financial district.
The office will house a number of different functions, such as the student recruitment and alumni relations programs.
Nearly half of all Laurier students come from Toronto and its surrounding areas and over 12,100 Laurier alumni live and work in the city.
President of Laurier Max Blouw attended the opening of the new office alongside several others from the Laurier community, including dean of business and economics Ginny Dybenko, as well as Toronto Mayor David Miller.
Blouw believes that the office will be very beneficial to Laurier.
"It will contribute [to Laurier] by providing a highly visible and prominent location for our alumni, our business partners, prospective students, government personnel and others to access
Laurier in the heart of Toronto."
The office will also support Laurier's Toronto co-op program and MBA weekend programs.
The majority of undergraduate and MBA co-op placements are located in Toronto, with more than 700 students hired annually.
Laurier's weekend MBA program has already been present in Toronto for 11 years and offers classes at St. Andrew's Club and Conference Centre.
Blouw hopes the establishment of the Toronto office will heighten the visibility of Laurier to key stakeholders, help forge relationships with governments and function to serve those that have philanthropic ties with the university.
"We are convinced that having a presence in Toronto will be for the long-term benefit of Laurier," he said.
Joan Norris, dean of the faculty of graduate studies, attended the opening ceremony in Toronto yesterday, and echoed Blouw's enthusiasm about the new building.
"It's going to do wonders and make our MBA [program] even more visible," said Norris.
"It's a wonderful building right in the middle of the financial district and you can see the Laurier logo."

Fire Commissioner warns parents about 'after school' fire dangers for children
Published: 5th February 2008
NSW Fire Brigades (NSWFB) Commissioner Greg Mullins today urged parents to be vigilant with children's after school activities, warning that this was the time children were most likely to play with fire.
Commissioner Mullins said NSWFB statistics showed that the most common time for children to experiment with fire was between 3pm and 6pm - the crucial hours between finishing school and dinner.
Almost 10 per cent of fires in NSW are believed to be started by children, putting them at risk of injury and even death.
"With children now back at school, it's important that parents and carers know where their kids are and what they are doing," Commissioner Mullins said.
"Some kids seem to have a fascination with fire, but it's so important that they understand that fire is a 'tool not a toy'," he said. "Playing with lighters or matches in the home and lighting bush or grass fires is incredibly dangerous behaviour.
"Children are often not aware of the consequences of their actions or how fast fire moves and how quickly they can be overcome by the toxic gases in smoke."
Commissioner Mullins urged parents who were concerned that their child was playing with fire to call a special NSW Fire Brigades' toll-free number - 1800 600 700 ' or visit the local fire stations or www.fire.nsw.gov.au for information.
The toll-free number and NSWFB's Intervention and Fire Awareness Program sees Fire Intervention Officers work directly with a family to help them understand the issues, suggest strategies and develop an action plan to help make their home safer, and if necessary refer them to other professional help.
Commissioner Mullins said that he had seen over many years the positive impact of fire safety awareness programs on both children and their families.
"Firefighters go to preschools and primary schools across NSW to educate children about fire safety," he said. 'I've lost count of the number of times firefighters have told me how a family was saved because they knew to 'get down low and go, go, go' or to 'get out, stay out' when there was a fire.
"Over the last few weeks we've also seen lives saved through the installation of smoke alarms, practiced escape plans and people calling Triple Zero (000) in an emergency.
"If you see smoke or kids playing with fire, please call Triple Zero (000) immediately. It could make the difference between life and death."

Q: What Happens to the Boundary at Infinity of a CAT(0) Manifold if I Replace the R-Metric with Another with the Same Levi-Civita Connection? What happens to the boundary at infinity of a CAT(0) manifold if I replace the Riemannian metric with another one that has the same Levi-Civita connection? How do other CAT(0) invariants change?
So, the geodesics as paths remain invariant under such a change, but we are generally only interested in the unit-speed geodesics in CAT(0) geometry, and these do change nominally.
Has this question been asked before?

A: Per this MathOverflow post, if $M$ is (connected and) irreducible, then any two Riemannian metrics inducing the same Levi-Civita connection differ by a scalar multiple, that is, if $g_1$ and $g_2$ are Riemannian metrics both inducing the Levi-Civita connection $\nabla$, then there exists $c \in \mathbb{R} \backslash \{0\}$ with $g_1 = cg_2$.
Hence, (if $M$ is connected and irreducible) the two visual boundaries should be the same. $\blacksquare$

Baťův kanál lub Průplav Otrokovice-Rohatec – zabytkowy kanał o długości 52 km, wybudowany w latach 1935–1938, łączący Otrokovice z Rohatcem w Czechach (Morawy).

Przebieg
Kanał częściowo przebiega po rzece Morawie, jednak w większości wydzielonymi tokami wodnymi z licznymi jazami oraz 14 śluzami i innymi dziełami technicznymi. Na trasie kanału znajdują się też 23 mosty.

Obecnie prawie cała trasa (52 km) jest udostępniona do przewozów, uruchomiono 13 śluz. Możliwa jest tak turystyczna, jak i planowa komunikacja po kanale między Otrokovicami a Sudoměřicami. Turyści mogą użytkować 8 portów i 13 przystani. Dzięki budowie przystani w Skalicy (Słowacja) kanał stał się międzynarodowym szlakiem żeglugowym.

Przewozy i technika
Głównym materiałem, który był spławiany po kanale był węgiel brunatny z kopalni w Ratíškovicach. Kanał eksploatowała firma Tomáša Baťy. Węgiel trafiał do elektrociepłowni w Otrokovicach, zasilającej w prąd i ciepło część zakładów obuwniczych Baty (Zlin i Otrokovice). Na trasie było dużo różnego rodzaju unikalnych urządzeń technicznych, np. koparki, towarowa kolej linowa i inne. Przy każdej ze śluz ustawiono typowy dla architektury modernistycznej imperium Baty, domek dla obsługi. Część z tych obiektów zachowała się do dziś, a część została zrekonstruowana. Umożliwia to zwiedzanie urządzeń kanału i poznawanie historii dziedzictwa technicznego.

Atrakcje turystyczne
Oprócz tradycyjnych spływów po kanale, rejsów statkami spacerowymi, a także zwiedzania zabytków techniki zlokalizowanych przy drodze wodnej, można także wypożyczać tzw. hausboty, czyli pływające domy na dłuższe urlopy. Istnieją także oferty łączone – zawierające atrakcje dla miłośników morawskiego wina, obserwatorów ptaków, czy też miłośników zabytków kultury, oferowane przez lokalnych touroperatorów.

_ Dmitry Yevstafiev, PhD, professor, National Research University Higher School of Economics. Moscow, 27 April 2016.
Today the Eurasian Economic Union is going through «growing pains», struggling to come out of the limits of the post-Soviet format of «free trade zones». Let's discuss the main "growing pains" and comes to the conclusion that the major challenges for the future of the EAEU appear to be not the military-political conflicts, but the development of integration institutions and trans-governmental industrial enterprises.
It is assumed that the Eurasian Economic Union, which started to work in January 2015, finds itself today in a crisis. Often it is linked with the escalation of military-political conflicts in the last year and a half. However, despite the critical military-political situation in the Near and Middle East and the intensification of conflicts, linked with international terrorism, it is incorrect to say that it is specifically the military-political factors that are holding back the development of the EAEU.
The crisis that the EAEU is going through today is, without a doubt, "growing pains". It is the normal consequence of the movement away from the post-Soviet format of "free-trade zones", which in different formats and under different names existed for more than 20 years. The potential development of the EAEU faces more difficulties because of significant reduction of internal investment potential in the Eurasian territory in the abrupt falls in prices in the global commodities markets.
The strategic problem in the development of the EAEU and in the socio-economic integration processes in the Greater Eurasia, in a nutshell, is the mixed economic trends in the post-Soviet territory. After all, "Greater Eurasia", a term very often used in political sciences and economics, in fact, describes that part of the post-Soviet territory that so far was not swallowed up by the major global economic forces. This post-Soviet territory preserves internal non-administrative drivers, motivators for the economic integration and the creation of new trans-regional economic ties.
On the one hand, the EAEU gave a strong integration boost, which sooner or later will crystallise in the appearance of inter-territorial ties of a new kind, the importance of which will grow in the deepening of the economic crisis. On the other hand, the logic of the economic development of 2000s and 2010s based on the strength of high prices in the mineral raw materials made the integration processes in the post-Soviet nations less of a priority.
This created the effect of "distraction from integration", drawing in nations of the post-Soviet territory in the economic processes of regional neighbours. Primarily into the China-centric economic system relations, but into the complex, and not always economically legal economic processes in the Middle East as well. The question of future Eurasian integration and the EAEU as an integration tool depends on which of these opposing vectors will be satisfied most with an effective institutional base. In other words, from a long-term point of view, the main challenge is the institutionalization of the development of the EAEU.
Moreover, the pursuit of key global forces in the development of strategic alliances, to achieve the strengthening of institutional bases of the EAEU will be quite difficult. In any case, this will be opposed with tendencies that will develop around the EAEU. It is difficult to tell if the political leaders of the EAEU will be able to succeed in making the Union a successful working institution.
This becomes an important challenge for its development. The EAEU will fully be able to come out of the «free-trade zone» frame only when the Union as an institution will promote the formation of important trans-national industrial enterprises that will be able to provide a significant influence on world market conditions in their own territories.
Trust. It is obvious that the countries of the EAEU have reached the limits of trust to a level of transparency within their policies. Opposition in the areas of "sanction" policies, of course, added additional mistrust, however this does not appear an important factor. The main problem appears to be the desire of all participants of the Eurasian integration, especially in Russia, to preserve the most "free hands", in politics, as well as in economics.
In view of this, it must be taken into account that the extent of trust between partners depends on the willingness of each individual to take on the mid- and long-term responsibilities with each other. The development of trust between the members of the EAEU in the whole of the Greater Eurasia are significantly complicated with independent policies with partial "legalization" of radicals (of a national-patriotic persuasion) and for using it for propaganda purposes directed towards their partners.
Unique information environment. What appears to be most important is the preservation of the Greater Eurasia as a territory not only with a unique format of mass communication but with a unique content structure, but mostly, with similar principles for its public circulation. To include independent countries or even independent regions of certain countries into the "information sphere" of neighbouring regions (what we already consider in certain regions of Central Asia) will cause a substantial impact in the process of institutionalization of the EAEU and in the growth of its influence. In the modern world, we must be not only precise, but an information entity and a source of relevant global content. In this sense, the main priority must be to develop a unique information and knowledge base from EEU out of the periphery.
Logistics network. Objectively the post-Soviet territory finds itself in the priority sphere of logistics interests of adjacent economic systems. These economic systems would be interested in their reconfigurations on their terms with their operational and legal standards. If that happens, then we can talk about the internal network of the region only conditionally, especially if external forces manage to, even in part, impose a strategy of development of transport and logistics infrastructures on their own basic standards and goals. It is important, however, to understand that in the sphere of logistics the EAEU has the possibility of steadily developing only as a logistically integrated space, working in the framework of common standards.
Bureaucracy. Regardless of the necessity of institutionalization, the EAEU must avoid transforming itself into a bureaucratic structure, providing some "macro processes", that society will perceive as an unnecessary burden. The sad experience of the European bureaucracy must be properly evaluated on the post-Soviet territory. Of course, institutionalization without a bureaucracy is not possible, however, especially true today, in this period of global economic crisis, the structures of the EAEU must keep a high level of flexibility and competence to be able to react quickly to problems that may appear. The only recipe for this is the involvement of the civil society and experts from surrounding countries in the institutional processes.
So far this resource of institutionalization without unnecessary bureaucracy, like the civil society, in the EAEU is clearly underestimated.
The problem of the current stage of development of the EAEU and the size of Greater Eurasia in whole lies with the fact that in the political conditions of uncertainty and non-formation of an economic basis of the Eurasian integration, even from a strategically insignificant perspective, may have a long-term destabilizing effect. We, unfortunately, are not always qualified to evaluate long-term effects of small political "grievances" and strategic developments. In this sense, in a foreseeable future, the main challenge will likely be to minimize the quantity of strategic miscalculations, which might become long-term irritants.
Following this, the condition for the development of the potential of the EAEU will be significantly more favourable.


If you're looking for a super-scenic day trip hike while staying with us here at Inn on Mill Creek near Asheville, NC, consider a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway to Graveyard Fields. Is it a graveyard? Nope. Is it a field? You could say that… but it's so much more. Let's explore.
Graveyard Fields is a valley at more than 5,000 feet above sea level, filled with wild blueberry bushes, rhododendron, laurel, and scattered trees, with a mountain stream running through it and a waterfall on each end. It gets its creative name from a time when a rare weather event (many suspect a windstorm) toppled all of the trees centuries ago, making the stumpy and uprooted remnants look like gravestones. A fire in the 1920s destroyed much of what was left in terms of trees, and the result is this awesome meadow-like landscape that is pretty unique for our area.
To get there, take the Blue Ridge Parkway about 35 miles south of Asheville to the Graveyard Fields Overlook at Milepost 418.8. This drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, a scenic byway, is spectacular beginning in May when everything greens up and wildflowers abound. The views from various overlooks are nothing short of amazing.
From there, a bridge over a crystal-clear stream (the Yellowstone Prong) takes hikers to a choice of trails, either to the lower falls on the right or the upper falls on the left. Most people choose the shorter, right-hand trail to the lower falls, which includes another set of nearby stairs leading down to the base of the waterfall. This area has a nice natural swimming hole (so expect crowds on weekends and warmer days), as well as several places to relax on large flat boulders and enjoy the scenery.
The lower falls is often called Second Falls on maps. Note that all of the downhill travel means you will be heading up, up, up to get back to the parking area. It's about a 1/3-mile trek from the parking area to the lower falls.
If you want to continue on to the upper falls after the lower falls, or bypass the lower falls altogether, you can head left after the bridge. This route will take you through the "fields" part of Graveyard Fields. In the springtime and into early summer, you'll enjoy flowering shrubs everywhere, in late summer comes the opportunity to pick wild blueberries, and in early October, Graveyard Fields gets the distinction of being one of the earliest places to see fall color thanks to elevation above 5,000 feet and all of those shrubs, which are ablaze in shades of red and orange.
The 1.5-mile trail will alternate between dirt path and boardwalks until you get to a more forested section of the valley. You'll also see small tributary streams meandering through.
The last ten minutes of the hike to the upper falls is the most strenuous because of a 300-foot elevation gain on a section of trail that begins to resemble other trails in the area, with tree roots and mid-size rocks to navigate around.
The trail splits before the upper falls: head right to get to the waterfall. Going more straight/to the left will lead to a long sliver of water that glides gently down the surface of smooth boulders toward where the Yellowstone Prong flows through the valley, below the waterfall. The upper falls is not as dramatic as the lower falls, but the lack of foot traffic in comparison is definitely an advantage and makes this a pretty peaceful destination.
If you don't want to return the whole way on the same trail, you can branch off after about 3/4 of a mile once you're back in the "fields" by taking a right and crossing over the Yellowstone Prong to take a 2/3-mile loop trail back to the start.

Moen Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Gran Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the northern part of the village of Jaren. It is one of the churches for the Moen/Ål parish which is part of the Hadeland og Land prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar. The brown, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1914 using plans drawn up by the architect Harald Aars. The church seats about 170 people.

History
Around 1910, the municipality began planning for a new annex chapel in Jaren. After a public meeting in October 1910, a committee was appointed in the Moen district, which at that time numbered 915 inhabitants. A three-acre plot of land was donated by Kjersti and Johan Trulserud and the people of the Tingelstad area gave timber, and a fundraising campaign was initiated. In 1912, the architect Harald Aars was hired to design the building which was expected to cost about . The church was designed as a long church in the National Romantic style. The new Moen Chapel was consecrated on 18 June 1914. Around the turn of the 21st century, the chapel was re-titled as a church in a new combined parish with Ål Church.

IPSA Students hosts their Annual Mawlid al-Nabi Celebration.
This event is happening tomorrow, and it promises to be engagingly beneficial.
Please note that we have had to take precautions in adjusting the programme due to possible load shedding set for the Rylands area.
Find the the adjusted programme attached. Programme commences at 10am.
See you all at IPSA's Colloquium that will address the topic "The Role of Civil Society in Relation to Government: An Islamic Perspective".
This module aims to provide students with a comprehensive and objective-oriented (maqasidi) methodology (manhajiyyah) to contemporary Islamic law (fiqh). First, fiqh is defined as Islam's ethical system in all aspects of life; going beyond the traditional chapters on the "acts of worship" (ibadaat) to include contemporary fiqh on issues related to medicine, economics, arts, politics, family, environment, international relations, etc. Then, Islam's revealed knowledge, i.e. the Quran and Sunnah, takes a central position in the fiqhi methodology taught in this module, and the relationship between the Quran and the narrations of the Sunnah is explained in the context of the fundamental theories (usul) of reasoning (ijtihad).

Kentucky is Horse Country USA and Louisville is home to the famous Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. But Louisville is home to another equine derby, locally known as the Sidewalk Derby.
In 2009, the Gallopalooza Showcase auctioned a herd of 132 artistic horses to local businesses and individuals. These beautifully crafted sculptures can be spotted throughout the city and suburbs.
Gallopalooza is organized every five years. Just two more years before the next stampede of colorful horses arrives in Louisville.
This amazing celebration of our community, artistically underscores this state's obsession with horses and racing.
My kids love to play "spot a painted horse" as we drive around town. Keeping their eyes peeled for spectacularly painted horse statues, provides wonderful free entertainment, that sure beats watching TV. Since we don't own a mobile DVD system, we create our own fun-on-the-go.
Each horse is unique and tells a story. Muhammad Ali, Louisville's favorite son, is proudly represented on this sculpture alongside the Stars and Stripes.
Thoroughblue rests peacefully on the Main Street sidewalk.
This guy with his checkered flag tale stands proudly outside a local car dealership.
Our medical/dental horse sports a stethoscope, a toothbrush leg and braces to fix his toothy horse smile.
This guy is perfect for playing "name that state".
This sculpture represents a horse chess piece. Louisville's blue bejeweled beauty proudly guards a door on Main Street.
We spotted this guy overlooking some tables outside a restaurant on Market Street.
This stripey spectacle stands in front of a local paint store. The blanket image on his back replicates a sample paint strip.
This high stepping pose reflects the dancing movements of a show horse. My kids love this horse. If you look closely at his tail, you'll see a little red cardinal perched comfortably, observing the world go by. He's part of the sculpture, but my little girl was convinced he was real.
And finally the winner of my "Run for the Roses", as the Derby is affectionately referred to. In 1896 the Derby winner was first presented with a cloak of pink and white roses, a tradition proudly upheld each year since.
While driving yesterday we spied this brown filly sporting her beautiful rose garland. She is not an official Gallopalooza horse, but here in Louisville we love all of our horses, especially those adorned with a garland of roses.


Only minor marks to note on back of card. Minimal surface wear to image and front of card. Card is nearly pristine.
A young woman in a knee length dress. Her head is canted to the side and she has a whimsical expression. She appears to be dancing or showing off her dress. A floral wreath surrounds her neckline. Her hair is curly on the sides, but her bangs are straight. An undergarment peaks out from the hem of her dress at the knee. She wears dark hose and dark shoes with buckles. She stands in from of a painted backdrop in a studio setting.

MISSOULA, June 24 — Congressional Candidate Monica Tranel released the following statement following the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs, State Health Officer of the Mississippi Department of Health, et al. v. Jackson Women's Health Organization et al.:
"Today, the Supreme Court took away our freedom as women in America to live life on our own terms. The Court did what we knew was coming - it overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Today, the Supreme Court has turned the power of the State against every woman, and every family, dictating to us when, how, and whether we become parents. In doing so it has taken away our freedom to participate fully and equally in the world.
This attack does not end with abortion. One justice wrote separately to defend this decision by promising that the Supreme Court should next deny families birth control, take away same-sex marriage, and deny parents the right to educate their children.
We are not going to turn back the clock on modern life. We know what is at stake in this election.
Congress must immediately act to protect the freedom of women and families and their private decisions, including when, and whether, to have a child.
While my opponents Ryan Zinke and John Lamb have stood against American women's freedom to live life on our terms, I've spent my career standing up for working families and for all Montanans and their freedom, and I'll continue to do so in Congress."


On behalf of Katz Law on Monday, May 15, 2017.
On April 10, 2017 Governor Matt Bevin signed into law House Bill 492. HB 492 makes significant changes to KRS 403.280, the statute setting forth the law regarding temporary custody orders. Today, parties going through a divorce may move for a temporary custody order which will establish temporary custody until the final custody determination is made by the Court. Under the current statutory language, a party seeking a temporary custody order must support their motion with an affidavit setting forth the facts upon which their motion for temporary custody is based. The Court then may award temporary custody, applying the "best interest of the child" standard set forth in KRS 403.270, after a hearing or based solely on the affidavits if there is no objection. This typically ends with joint custody with one parent being designated the "primary residential custodian." This parent receives the majority of time with the child with the other parents getting visitation. HB 492 makes some significant changes to 403.280 that will likely have implications beyond just the temporary custody framework.


How Many Calories Do You Eat??
This question gets asked of me frequently. It's asked commonly by people who want to lose weight. The problem with this question is that we remain overweight and sick because we've become obsessed with the actual quantity of calories with little regard for the quality of calories. Someone told me once that they liked the popular point system because they could save all their points up during the day and eat cake at night. Another person told me she loved being pregnant because being pregnant meant she could eat anything she wanted! So, she ate her favorite fast food burger almost daily throughout her pregnancy then found it difficult to lose her baby weight. A couple years later, she insisted she was doing "everything right" to lose the weight and couldn't so she opted for liposuction….. twice! This is not a healthy mindset by any means and until we start thinking differently about what we put in our bodies, we will continue to be overweight and sick!
Have you ever really considered the QUALITY of your calories? Are the calories you consume nutritionally poor or nutritionally dense? Do your calories promote health and wellness or do they promote sickness and disease? Are you picking up a box right now to look at the quality and quantity of your calories? On my desk right now is a 20 ounce jar of dehydrated "cheesy" kale chips (they are gluten and dairy free but taste like they've been coated in cheese!). I made these tasty morsels myself. They have no calorie or nutrition label but I know they are massive little bombs of flavor and nutrition! I don't care about the quantity of calories because the QUALITY rocks! The real bonus is that nutritiously dense foods like this are packed with flavors that dance on your palate so you don't need to eat very much to feel satiated.
Quality foods will always satisfy your appetite for longer. Quality foods will minimize cravings because you will be well nourished right down to your trillions of cells. Quality foods will heal you. Our cells are like tiny factories that must function like well-oiled machines or else the whole system will break down. When you eat poor quality foods, you actually starve your cells. Do this every day and you have a perfect recipe for poor health.
We need to create a movement toward more nutritionally dense foods. What are those you ask? Nothing you haven't heard before. More fresh colorful fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds and their butters, legumes, organic grass fed meats, healthy sources of oils (Olives, avocados), gluten free grains, etc. Now I know that doesn't sound like a lot of food to some of you but I encourage you to step outside of your world of iceberg lettuce (crunchy water) and explore the multitude of colorful, nourishing foods available to you.
It's time to think outside the processed food box and move away from the myth that "eating healthy is sooo boring!" As I tell my patients, "I'm a true foodie…I LOVE food!" So, I go out of my way to find and create recipes with big, bold flavors that make me happy. And don't think of not having your favorite nutritionally poor, calorically dense comfort food as "giving up". Of course giving up something is bound to feel emotionally painful so it's imperative to make the mental shift that you are embracing healthier habits. You are healing yourself with food….not a magic bullet. You will soon realize that eating calorically moderate, nutritionally dense foods will nourish every cell in your body!

Tebro Roma (wł. Tebro Foot-Ball Club Roma) – włoski klub piłkarski, mający siedzibę w stolicy kraju, mieście Rzym, działający w latach 1911–1913.

Historia
Chronologia nazw:
 1911: Tebro Foot-Ball Club Roma
 1913: klub rozwiązano

Klub sportowy Tebro F.B.C. został założony w miejscowości Rzym w 1911 roku. W sezonie 1911/12 zespół startował w mistrzostwach Quarta Categoria Lazio (D3), wygrywając rozgrywki w regionie. W następnym sezonie 1912/13, wskutek dopuszczenia drużyn ze środkowych i południowych Włoch do mistrzostw na najwyższym poziomie, klub został dopuszczony do eliminacji Prima Categoria Lazio. W rundzie pierwszej przegrał 1:2 z Pro Roma, a w rundzie drugiej spotkał się z przegranym pierwszej pary, klubem Alba Roma. 27 października 1912 roku na stadionie Stadio Nazionale zespół przegrał 0:2 i nie zakwalifikował się do Prima Categia Lazio, startując w sezonie 1912/13 w Promozione Lazio. Ponieważ Regionalny Komitet Lazio w sezonie 1913/14 organizował tylko mistrzostwa Terza Categoria Lazio, klub zawiesił działalność a potem został rozwiązany.

Bruce Pascoe at the Arizona Daily Star gives great insight to Thursday's Pac-10 meeting that will decide how the conference will integrate new members Colorado and Utah.
Most of the decisions pertain to football such as divisional alignment, revenue sharing and a conference championship game.
Still there's a few basketball questions that need answering.
— There was a slim chance Virginia guard Sammy Zeglinksi would be available for the Washington game Nov. 21. After undergoing surgery on his left knee Tuesday, doctors said he'll return in eight weeks, which means he won't play against the Huskies. The Cavaliers will rely on a trio of players (sophomore guard Jontel Evans, senior guard Mustapha Farrakhan and freshman Billy Baron) to replace Zeglinski.
— UCLA has a point guard controversy involving incumbent Jerime Anderson and junior college transfer Lazeric Jones.
— Big East coaches picked Pittsburgh to win the conference. The Panthers received 12 of 16 votes. West Virginia, which knocked off UW in the Sweet 16 last season, was picked fifth. Marquette, which lost to the Huskies in the NCAA tournament opener, was picked eighth along with Louisville.
— Keith Harrell, a standout player at Seattle University and Garfield High School, died Monday after a battle with spinal cancer. Harrell was nicknamed Silk for his fluid moves on the court.

Embroiled Canadian Pastor Artur Pawlowski Prepares for His 'Final Trial'
'Duck Dynasty' Wife Talks 'Spiritual Warfare' Against Phil Robertson
4:00PM EDT 7/17/2014 Jennifer LeClaire
Missy Robertson, the wife of Jase Robertson, says there's "definitely" spiritual warfare coming against the family. (Duck Commander)
The Robertson family is hardly your typical charismatic clan, but that doesn't mean the wise wives of the bearded men don't recognize spiritual warfare when they see it.
Missy Robertson, the wife of Jase Robertson, told CNSNews.com there's "definitely" spiritual warfare coming against the family. She specifically spoke the rush of criticism around the family patriarch, Phil Robertson, after his GQ interview made his biblical views about homosexuality clear to the world.
"So, and if you know anything about Phil Robertson, you know he's not going to be bullied," she told CNSNews.com. "No, he's not. He's self-assured. A lot of people thought that what he was talking about in that [GQ] interview was his own opinions. But he was quoting Scripture. He knows the Scriptures so well, he didn't need to go get the Bible and lay it out. He just started quoting. So, that's where I think people were misled, that's just coming out of his mouth as an opinion, but it wasn't."
A&E briefly suspended Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty because he expressed disagreement with gays in a GQ interview. In the January issue, he called homosexuality a sin and used the words "bestiality" and "promiscuity" in the same breath.
"It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man's anus," he told GQ. "That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."
Asked if he thought homosexuality was sinful, he said, "Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men."
Of course, Robertson didn't single out gays. He also stressed, "Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself. It's not right."
Despite the spiritual warfare, Missy Robertson says the family is trying to show Jesus through love and not judgment and criticism.
"We don't want to be looked at that way," she says. "Jesus came here, yes, with the sword to make sure that people knew right from wrong. But that's not for us to decide. God is the judge, not us."

I'm sorry; I didn't mean to offend you. Let me rephrase that: is your phone less intelligent than the iPhone or Android devices?
Me too. I don't want to pay for a data plan, so I own a phone that makes phone calls, sends SMS messages and not much else. It's part of how I pay only $20 a month in phone bills.
I don't miss out on much, though. I live in a town where free WiFi is plentiful, so the web is never far away. Even when it is I can accomplish quite a bit using my phone thanks to If This Then That, which connects and automates web apps If This Then That: Connect & Automate Any Two Of Your Favorite Web Apps If This Then That: Connect & Automate Any Two Of Your Favorite Web Apps Connect any two of your favorite web apps in creative ways. A sort of "digital duct tape" according to Linden Tibbets, the app's creator, If This Then That (ifttt) lets you find new uses for... Read More .
Simply put: with If This Then That (ifttt) and SMS I can teach my dumb phone all kinds of smart tricks, from updating social networks to adding events to my calendar.
Our own Jessica once taught you how to make your regular cell phone smarter using SMS How to Make Your Mobile Phone Smarter With SMS/MMS How to Make Your Mobile Phone Smarter With SMS/MMS Read More . Her suggestions were great, but required a variety of different programs for different jobs.
Ifttt is a game changer, combining all of these services into one. As I wrote recently If This Then That: Connect & Automate Any Two Of Your Favorite Web Apps If This Then That: Connect & Automate Any Two Of Your Favorite Web Apps Connect any two of your favorite web apps in creative ways. A sort of "digital duct tape" according to Linden Tibbets, the app's creator, If This Then That (ifttt) lets you find new uses for... Read More , with this tool you can create simple rules involving an action and a reaction. Supported programs include Twitter, Dropbox, Facebook, Google Calendar, Gmail and so much more.
What makes ifttt so good at educating your dumb phone, however, is SMS messaging. Here are a few ways you can use it to your advantage from your dumb phone.
Want to share your thoughts when you're on the go? You're not alone. Millions of smart-phone users constantly use their phone for just that.
You don't need a smartphone to do this, though. Just send an SMS message to ifttt and you're set.
The above command will post any SMS I sent to ifttt including the tag "#post" to Facebook. The tag is important, because it lets ifttt know what it is I want them to do with the information I'm texting them.
Confused? It's simple. If I send a text message to ifttt including the word "#post" it will be posted to Facebook as my status.
Create tasks like this for both Twitter and Facebook, with the same tag, and voila: you can post to both of your social services with only one text. You're phone's getting smarter already!
You can see just the subject line of the email, or get the entire email. Be warned, though: getting the entire email can fill up your SMS inbox rather quickly.
Note that you'll need to be using Gmail for this to work.
You can, of course send email to SMS How to Send Email to Any Cell Phone (for Free) How to Send Email to Any Cell Phone (for Free) Read More easily. And you can use SMS to send messages to any email address: just put the e-mail address where the phone number usually goes.
The problem with this: any responses sent will go to your phone instead of to your email. Avoid this confusion using ifttt to send email from your dumb phone.
You'll need to create commands for the people you want to be able to email, so it's not entirely ideal. Again, you'll need to be using Gmail.
With this you can SMS a simple appointment, using actual language. For example: write "meet Mark at his secret castle Thursday at noon #cal" and the appropriate appointment will be added to your calendar. Magic!
This article could go on forever. You can get text messages when something you want is for sale on Craigslist, for example, or get a message when the weather calls for snow tomorrow.

Awesome post. I, for one, really want to get a cheaper plan as I'm paying almost $140 per month for two lines. How's the reception with Net10? Do you ever get dropped calls?
Net10 uses both AT&T and T-Mobile to provide coverage, so if those work well where you live so will this. I've never had a dropped call, unlike my many iPhone-owning friends.
Oh, that's good to know. Now, I just have to wait till my two-year contract is over to try this, LOL.

В зв'язку з цим, МЗС і Міноборони Китая виступили ввечері 30 січня з офіційною заявою, в якій зазначається, що «Американський військовий корабель порушив китайські закони, перебуваючи у територіальний водах Китаю без попереднього дозволу».

Complete Guide to First Growth Bordeaux Wine, Vineyards and Chateau
The First Growth Bordeaux wines are among the world's most expensive and famous wines. The 1st Growths of Bordeaux are now, more than ever, in a class by themselves. Currently, even the newest vintages being sold as futures cost on average $1,000 or more per bottle!
How did Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux, Chateau Haut Brion and Chateau Mouton Rothschild earn their coveted First Growth status? This article is a complete guide to the First Growth wines, wineries and chateau of Bordeaux.
What we known of as the First Growth Bordeaux wines today, all share a long, colorful and sometimes connected history. The First Growths share histories dating back hundreds of years.
In fact, for the majority of the 18th century, two families owned Lafite, Latour, Margaux and Haut Brion.
Even more amazing is, during a 2 year period, the same 2 families added Mouton to their holdings from 1718 to 1720. In other words, for a short period of time, all 5 First Growths were owned by just two families!
Each of the properties were famous all over the world for their Bordeaux wine, long before they were classified as First Growth Bordeaux producers. The wines were known to be extraordinary in quality and it was agreed by most people at the time, that they occupied perhaps the finest terroir and soil in Bordeaux,
The wines were the most expensive in the Bordeaux wine region. In large part, that is what made them First Growth Bordeaux wines, or the wine buyers of the day were well aware of their quality and value.
In unofficial classifications, Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Margaux and Haut Brion were listed as the finest and most costly wines of Bordeaux.
They were thought of as First Growth Bordeaux wine, decades before the term became widely used. Thomas Jefferson during his visit to Bordeaux in 1787 came up with his list of the best wines from the area as well.
The list created by Thomas Jefferson also placed the First Growth Bordeaux wine producers at the top of his rankings.
According to Thomas Jefferson, "There are four vineyards of prime quality:
1. Chateau Margaux, belonging to the Marquis d'Argicourt, who produces around 150 barrels that were sold by contract to a merchant named Jernon.
2. La Tour Segur, (Chateau Latour ) in Saint-Lambert, belonging to Mister de Miromesnil, who produces 125 barrels.
3. Haut-Brion, two-thirds of which belong to the Count de Fumel who sold the harvest to a merchant called Barton. The other third belongs to the Count of Toulouse; in all, the château produces 75 barrels.
4. Chateau de la Fite, (Chateau Lafite Rothschild) belonging to President Pichard of Bordeaux, which produces 175 barrels".
Some of the other famous tasters of the day put together unofficial ranks of Bordeaux wines after Jefferson were: Andre Simon in 1800, Lawton of Tastet and Lawton in 1815, Wilhelm Franck in 1845 and most notably, Cocks and Feret in 1850.
The official Classification took place at The Exposition Universelle de Paris. The event was seen as the perfect opportunity for France to display the best it had to offer for the entire world to see. This was what Napoléon III wanted to accomplish in 1855 with French culture and of course, the wines of France and Bordeaux..
What happened next was, the Gironde Chamber of Commerce ordered an official classification to accompany the now famous wines of the Bordeaux appellation. They allowed the Wine Brokers' Union of Bordeaux to develop the plan.
Their efforts morphed into what we now refer to as the official 1855 Classification.
The wines included in the Classification were all from Medoc, except for the already legendary Château Haut-Brion from Graves, which had to be included due to its world wide fame.
To create the list, Emperor Napoleon requested the top Bordeaux negociants of the day to rank the best wines of Bordeaux in five different ranking categories. The ranking categories were called Growths. A wine with the ranking of First Growth was considered the best wine in Bordeaux.
While the rankings were in theory about quality, the selling price factored heavily into which wines were ranked into their respective categories and of course, the most expensive wines were The First Growth Bordeaux Wines.
Another way to look at this is, a First Growth is an A+, a Second Growth is an A-, a Third Growth is a B+, a Fourth Growth is a B and a Fifth Growth is a C+.
With the exception of an A+ for the First Growths, the grades may or may not be applicable. But they provide you with a good idea on what the term First Growth means in relationship to the other Classified Growths of Bordeaux.
The First Growth Bordeaux producers are all located in the Left Bank. Three First Growth chateau reside in Pauillac. One is in Margaux and the other property is situated in Graves/Pessac Leognan .
Few changes have taken place to the now historical ranking. The most important change occurred in 1973 when Mouton Rothschild was elevated from Second Growth to the status of a First Growth. To view detailed histories, profiles,images, tasting notes and comments of the First Growth Bordeaux Wine producers, click on any of the following links.
First Growths (Premiers Crus) Commune
Château Lafite-Rothschild (Pauillac)
Château Latour (Pauillac)
Château Margaux (Margaux)
Château Haut-Brion Pessac Leognan (Graves)
Château Mouton Rothschild(Pauillac)
In total, for the official 1855 Classification of the Medoc, they came up with 5 levels of classification which covered 61 different chateaux in all.
Following on the heels of the First Growths, the remaining levels of classification are: Second Growth, Third Growth, Fourth Growth and Fifth Growth.
It should be noted that even the First Growths have all gone through bad patches. Most of the time, it was because they were underfunded and were not able to maintain their vineyards and, or cellars. However, that has not been the case since the 1982 vintage.
Following the legendary 1961 vintage, most of the First Growth chateaux turned in sub-par wines that were not equal to their terroir or lofty status. Today, that is not case.
In a vintage that allowed the grapes to ripen in the Medoc, the First Growths more often than not produce the best wines in their appellation.
Going back to the original classification of the Medoc, it's also important to keep in mind that along with the 1855 classification of the red wines of Bordeaux, the wines from the commune of Sauternes and Barsac were also rated.
Only one wine earned the coveted status of Premier Cru Superieur, First Growth, Chateau d'Yquem. While many tasters, critics, consumers and wine makers can spend hours debating which is the best First Growth producer in the Medoc, there is no argument about Chateau d'Yquem.
In fact, Chateau d'Yquem is the only Bordeaux wine without peer. In fact, many people have the opinion that Chateau d'Yquem is the best wine of all the First Growths!
Chateau d'Yquem has been held in this high regard for hundreds of years. When Thomas Jefferson visited Bordeaux, he wrote in his diary that d'Yquem "is the best white wine of France".
In St. Emilion, with their ever changing Classification, in the official, 2012 St. Emilion Classification, Chateau Ausone and Chateau Cheval Blanc were no longer the only two Primeur Cru Classe A Chateau. Chateau Angelus and Chateau Pavie joined the exclusive club.
All 4 chateaux are now as Premieur Cru Classe A. Guide to Premier Cru Classe A St. Emilion Chateaux
There are two other casual terms for the First Growths used in Bordeaux. "The Big 8", which includes all the wines classified in 1855, red and white, plus the Cheval Blanc and Ausone from St. Emilion. There is also "The Club of 9" which counts the members of "The Big 8" and Petrus from Pomerol.
"The Club of 9" meets at least once a year to taste and share their wines from every new vintage. While the club of 9 still exists and tastes together, in theory, with the new 2012 Saint Emilion Classification, the club of 9 should be renamed the club of 11.
That has not happened yet and from the look of things today, that is not likely to take place at any time in the near future. Things move slowly in Bordeaux, as you might expect, in an appellation where the wines can often take decades to develop.

If you collect covers with great military addresses, here is a beauty! Lt. James Henry Langhorne was a 19 year old farmer, attending Washington College when Virginia seceded from the Union. He entered the 4th Virginia Infantry in April of 1861. He was wounded at 1st Manassas, was captured at Kernstown, Va. in March of 1862 and died in May of 1864! The 4th Virginia were called the Liberty Hall Volunteers and affectionately "Stonewall's College Boys".
In the book, The Liberty Hall Volunteers by W. G. Bean, Langhorne is quoted twice, in the first Langhorne tells of the hardships of the Romney campaign and the second is admiration for Colonel James F. Preston who had just died.
The cover shows the usual wear and tear of war, but is great for display. Be sure to look at the notes written on the reverse of this cover.
