Usually, animations and cartoons are geared towards younger audiences and depict a fluffy, light-hearted version of the world we live in. I enjoy a classic Mickey Mouse 4 Sites to Watch Old & Classic Cartoon TV Shows Online 4 Sites to Watch Old & Classic Cartoon TV Shows Online Read More , Scooby Doo (pre-Scrappy, of course) and Looney Tunes as much as the next man, but today we're shying away from la-la land and exploring some very dark minds instead.
The following films are not your average animated adventures, but tales of greed, morality and obscure production that take the audience out of their comfort zone. Feel free to laugh awkwardly, raise your eyebrows or just ponder your own existence.
Based on Mark Twain's last and unfinished novel, The Mysterious Stranger is a claymation story starring an angel called Satan. This particular clip has been taken from the 1986 film The Adventures of Mark Twain and features Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher and Huck Finn as the main characters.
There's definitely a message here, just take a listen to Satan's final words.
Angst is a black and white animation that fuses a naive animation style with real-world footage. The film was created by Dutch animator Emiel Penders and tells the story of a child who must overcome his fear of the wind in order to save a pet.
Dont Hertzfeldt is a renowned American animator who has earned more than 150 awards for his creations. All of his films are beautifully hand-drawn in Don's signature style and the attention to detail employed earned the filmmaker the 16th spot in a recent survey of the top 100 animators.
Like many of Don's cartoons the first film on the list below, called Rejected, is a quirky comedy that becomes more and more unstable as the film unfolds. Just so you're aware, these weren't actually produced for the Family Learning Channel, though I'm sure that's pretty obvious by about half-way through.
The next film on the list, The Animation Show, is a co-production between Don and the creator of Beavis and Butthead, Mike Judge. The show went on for another three seasons with Hertzfeldt's work featured alongside other animators before he left in 2008.
Winner of 30 awards, Hertzfelt produced Billy's Balloon (below) while still studying before it was released in 1999.
Hertzfeldt's first dialogue short is wickedly funny and delightfully awkward, thanks in part to the partially improvised voice acting. Lily & Jim is the story of a disastrous blind date which scooped 25 awards.
The final Hertzfeldt film on this list is probably the strangest and most unnerving. The animation is 17 minutes long in total and tells the story of Bill over three parts as his dull and boring life soon gives way to something a lot more sinister.
The newest film on the list, Bad Egg is a 3D animated short 8 Of The Best Animated CGI Short Films [Stuff to Watch] 8 Of The Best Animated CGI Short Films [Stuff to Watch] Continuing last week's theme of short film, today's Stuff to Watch focuses entirely on rendered productions in this collection of excellent computer generated shorts. As movie studios pump millions of dollars into feature-length 3D productions;... Read More from Indian animators BIG Animation. What at first seems to be the usual Pixar-esque cutesy animation reveals itself to be a dark story with rather philosophical message.
According to the production team the film "disregards the myth that it is very hard for an Indian production house to get time out of its hectic schedule to create original content". You can read more about Bad Egg over at CGTantra.
Created by Les Elton in 1930, Monkey Doodle is so strange that it's hard to look away.
A collection of strange short cartoons, stop-motion films and MTV's own animated idents presented back to back. Many of the animations are 10 seconds long or less and the fact that they're all back-to-back can feel a little overwhelming by about half-way through.
Stick with it though, there's some delightfully dark gems in here. Don't you wish MTV was still this cool?
Hopefully you've enjoyed these films (enjoyed is a strong word, absorbed might be better), and please don't forget to let us know what you think, and share any more weird and wonderful creations you have found in the comments, below.
If you want to see an even better and weirder show, nothing gets more weird than "World of the Future". Do a search for "Fingal McGinnis" on Youtube.
Maybe it belongs in another article exploring some of the best Flash cartoons the internet has ever produced.
MTV has gone soooo far down hill. Such a shame.
Yep, once they were an incubator for creation and expression. Now they make Super Sweet 16. Go figure!

Be Nice. Nobody wants to spend time in a space that is hostile or unwelcoming. People are the lifeblood of your project and your community, and you should do you best to make them feel good.
Value non-code contributions. There are many potential contributors to your project. Be the designers, marketing people, meetup organisers, legal experts, YouTube pros, musicians, and so on. All of these things are important to the overall success of your project, just like code is. If you want to encourage these sorts of contributions, you should actively seek out and reward them.
Encourage. Sometimes people would like to make a contribution, but don't know how. Or don't know where to start. Make it easy to find small tasks to work on, and actively support people as much as possible. If you're lucky, some of these people may go on to become a long-standing contributors.
Open source projects live and die by the communities they manage to create, grow, and nurture. Community should not be an afterthought. It should be your number one concern. Because with a healthy community, you can pretty much solve any other problem. And the bigger and the healthier your community, the more chance you have of being able to attract more contributors and grow the project.
But what's the best way to get started? Well, thriving communities such as Rust have had a code of conduct as their foundation from the start. A code of conduct creates a safe environment where everybody knows what is and what isn't okay. This a great place to start if you want to start taking your community seriously.


Ray Sumner, MBA'10, woke up in a bed with white sheets. He recognized his mother, who was holding his right hand. She had traveled from their family farm on Staten Island to keep vigil at his bedside in Bethesda Naval Hospital.
Sumner did not know she would be there. Until someone told him, he did not even know where "there" was. The last thing he remembered was being with his unit, the 25th Marine Division, on the debris-strewn streets of Haditha, Iraq. It was the 11th week of his second tour in the country, and his battalion was engaged in house-to-house operations in the heart of the Sunni Triangle—one reason the 25th sustained the highest casualty rate of any outfit during the war.
Sumner remembers clearly how an insurgent ran out of a house and fired off a few quick rounds as the Marines were clearing a block. One bullet struck Sumner in the right hip, severing an artery. He was in a coma for 10 days. And then, suddenly, he found himself in Bethesda, Md.
The Marines never leave one of their own behind. For Sumner, who spent 18 years as an officer, the reverse is also true. Despite the injuries and rehabilitation, he would sign up again tomorrow if the Marines called him. Sumner still misses it. In some sense that is a big part of what attracted him to the Owen School.
How is Owen like a military enterprise? The question may seem odd to someone who has never worn the uniform. But to veterans who earned MBAs at Vanderbilt after earning their stripes, the connections seem obvious. For four of them—among the surprisingly large number who gravitate to this relatively small business school—seeing those connections made all the difference in their choice to enroll and in the directions their careers have taken.
Kyle Clay, MBA'09, by contrast, was not looking for something small. Ever since he was a football star and three-sport athlete in Lima, Ohio, Clay sought opportunities to be involved with something larger than himself. That is one reason why he accepted a scholarship to play football at West Point, and why he was drawn to the health care field after his military commitment ended.
Kyle Clay helped clear IEDs in Iraq while serving in the U.S. Army.
In between his graduation from the U.S. Military Academy and Owen, parts of his service experience were a reminder why the old Chinese saying "may you live in interesting times" was originally intended as a curse.
In June 2003 Clay arrived at an abandoned water purification plant near Baghdad. The soldiers called it Dogwood, but it might have been more accurately named Hell. There was no running water. No air conditioning. Temperatures routinely surpassed 110 degrees.
Clay and his men lived off prepackaged rations, or MREs. Sometimes, when they had to pick up arriving soldiers and supplies, they would navigate the deadliest stretch of highway in Iraq—dubbed "RPG Alley" for the prevalence of rocket-propelled grenades—and grab some hot food at the airport, where, almost surreally, there was a Burger King.
Among Clay's responsibilities was leading convoys—an innocuous-sounding job that was a very dangerous assignment in Iraq. The supply convoys traveled under constant threat of attack from improvised explosive devices (IEDs). His convoy was hit only once during his first six months, but tension soared every time they ventured onto the roads.
Clay's second deployment to Iraq made the first tour look civilized. Stationed in Ramadi and Fallujah, scenes of the war's most intense fighting, Clay was assigned to "route clearance"—an Army euphemism for bomb removal.
You can create your own path at Owen. After nine years of a very strict environment, it was a great place for me to try a smattering of academic and extracurricular activities.
Clay soon realized how increasingly sophisticated the insurgents' techniques had become during the year he was back on base in Germany. "Some IEDs were buried deep enough that our equipment couldn't detect them," he says. One, he remembers, was planted in a manhole. It detonated as a vehicle in his battalion passed over it. The manhole cover rocketed through the underside of the vehicle, killing and wounding several soldiers. In all, he lost seven men in 12 months. All told, his engineer battalion removed 1,000 IEDs.
Even before he came home from Iraq, Clay knew he wanted to go to business school. He had become interested in health care—something that, to him, was more than just business. That led him to Owen, where he found the change he sought and the continuity he needed.
It is a far cry from Dogwood, but Clay is today, once again, in the desert—Phoenix, to be exact—where summer temperatures can reach a Baghdad-like 114 degrees. As a Regional Operations Director for DaVita, North America's largest operator of kidney dialysis centers, Clay oversees 11 in-center dialysis clinics and two home programs.
The name DaVita comes from an Italian phrase that roughly translates as "he or she gives life." Clay likes the sound of it. For someone who has traveled so closely with death, it feels good to be surrounded by givers of life.
As a boy, Henry Guy, MBA'98, had the power to determine whether kids in his community would have to attend school. Guy grew up on Smith Island, off Maryland's Eastern Shore. He was the son of a son of a son of a fisherman who caught blue crabs and oysters in the Chesapeake Bay.
Getting to school involved an hour's trip by boat. The boat's captain had a policy for rough weather: If even one kid wanted to make the trip, the school boat would run.
Henry Guy served on a destroyer in the U.S. Navy.
But Guy did not let this singular power go to his head. Even in the relatively small pond of Crisfield High, he looked up to others as role models—especially one older boy whom he remembers as "all the things I tried to be." When that student pursued a spot in one of the service academies, Guy's interest was piqued.
He brought that mindset to his first posting as a division officer aboard the USS Comte de Grasse, a destroyer named for the French admiral whose blockade of Yorktown helped win the Revolutionary War. The Comte de Grasse focused on maritime interdiction: looking for Caribbean drug smugglers, patrolling the Red Sea to intercept materials headed for Iraq, or boarding ships in the Adriatic to stop weapons from reaching combatants during the Balkan wars.
Meanwhile, remembering his lesson from the academy, Guy soaked up all the knowledge he could from rotations involving various systems and areas of the ship's operations. Every duty was an opportunity. It helped him move up to become an aide to an admiral, a coveted position for a junior officer.
For Lindsey White, MBA'10, jumping out of airplanes turned out to be especially relevant preparation for Owen. A self-described "Army brat" who split her childhood between Germany, Oklahoma, North Carolina and Tennessee, she grew up literally wanting to follow in the footsteps of her father, a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne. As a young girl, she would practice by sliding her feet into his big boots and hurtling off the living room sofa.
White earned her jump wings but never had to leap from a plane again. After graduating from the academy, she oversaw airfield operations—a duty that also required certification as an air traffic controller—at bases from Florida to California.
Lindsey White oversaw airfield operations at bases across the U.S. while in the Air Force.
When her five-year commitment ended, "I decided to try something new," she says. "I felt like I'd been in the military my whole life." Eventually she put her operations expertise to work as a project manager for a California company that designs and builds large-scale water features, including the landmark fountains at the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas.
There, she realized she needed to learn more. "Much of what I knew centered on the military and people management," White says. To reach higher levels in the business world, she needed to broaden her skills. That realization led her to Vanderbilt.
After a summer internship in the corporate world, White realized she missed some of the structure military life provided. She won a two-year Presidential Fellowship with Voice of America (VOA), the U.S. government's official radio and television broadcasting service, in Washington, D.C. The new job offers her the best of both worlds. Within the security of her position, she has opportunities to complete rotations in other areas besides her specialty, operations, as training that may prepare her ultimately to take over a division of VOA. It is like being able to jump from a plane, with none of the uncertainty.
Jumping remains part of Ray Sumner's life. He loves the adrenaline rush that comes from hurling himself off a cliff, his survival depending on a strand of bungee cord. He has jumped from three of the world's highest bungee-accessible sites: Bloukrans, South Africa; Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe; and Interlaken, Switzerland.
Ray Sumner, pictured here in Iraq, served two stints in the U.S. Marines.
Somehow jumping fills a longtime need. The love of flying, with or without a vehicle, is what led Sumner to the Marines in the first place. While he was still in ROTC at St. John's University, the Corps guaranteed him a seat in flight school if he passed a test. He passed and went on to train on T-34 jets and pilot helicopters.
Sumner left the Marines after 13 years but rejoined in 2003, after a General Officer phoned one morning and told him, "Your country needs you." In between he operated a fledgling import business in handmade goods from some of the exotic locales he had visited with the Corps, like Yemen. The business barely broke even. But, as an entrepreneur, Sumner had found a civilian avocation that could satisfy his need for flowing adrenaline.
When I got out of the Marine Corps, I thought I'd never have this again. The camaraderie at Vanderbilt is unique. That's why I'll always appreciate it.
With help from Owen's entrepreneurship program, Sumner test-marketed his quaffs in the wider community. This summer he was busily researching properties around Nashville and as far afield as Austin, Texas, and Portland, Ore. To Sumner, it feels like an exhilarating jump, and his MBA colleagues are his bungee. They are continually providing support and advice, offering to serve on the board of his company for free, helping him assess logo designs, and serving as sounding boards for ideas.

Q: How to add Firebase SDK version 9 to a Service Worker Chrome Extension Manifest Version MV3? I found this video How to add Firebase to a Service Worker - Chrome Extension Manifest Version MV3 created at 26 Jan 2021
Importing the files in the same way he did in the video I got the following error:
"SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'"
To try solve this I changed manifest.json to include "type"="module" (because firebase SDK version 9 uses es module)
"background": {
    "service_worker": "firebase.js",
    "type": "module"
},

And now the error is:
"importScripts() of new scripts after service worker installation is not allowed"
So I dowloaded to the extension https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/9.10.0/firebase-app.js to include Firebase static js files in the extension in a folder called firebase and try to import as follows.
import * as firebase from "../firebase/firebase-app.js";
    ...
firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

Also tried:
import { initializeApp } from "../firebase/firebase-app.js";
...
initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

But in both cases I get the following errors:
FirebaseError: Firebase: No Firebase App '[DEFAULT]' has been created - call Firebase App.initializeApp() (app/no-app).
DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for chrome-extension://hoopapahcqwsdaerotpablmamhgdbhga/firebase/firebase-app.js.map: System error: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
Any advice?

A: I think I found the solution to the issue, at the end of firebase-app.js is the following:
//# sourceMappingURL=firebase-app.js.map
So I went to https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/9.10.0/firebase-app.js.map and copy its content in a file named firebase-app.js.map and place it in the same folder that firebase-app.js and now the code works ok.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke Meets with Canadian Minister of Industry Tony Clement and Mexican Secretary of Economy Bruno Ferrari

CONTACT OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS
U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke today hosted a trilateral meeting of North American Industry Ministers with Canada's Minister of Industry Tony Clement and Mexico's Secretary of Economy Bruno Ferrari. The officials discussed North American economic competitiveness and deeper trilateral cooperation on trade and economic issues.
The trilateral meeting, which took place on the margins of the Americas Competitiveness Forum, focused on the implementation of the President Obama's National Export Initiative and the ways Canada, Mexico, and the United States can better cooperate with the high levels of industry and sector integration as a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
"Canada, the United States, and Mexico have a sophisticated and robust trade relationship because of NAFTA," Locke said. "Because our businesses already cooperate in the production of goods and delivery of services, we must work together to develop strategies that will benefit these businesses and the workers of this region."
The three leaders also pledged to identify ways to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises to export their goods and services, enabling them to expand their business operations.
In 2009, trilateral trade among the NAFTA partners totaled more than $735 billion, an increase of 148 percent since the year before NAFTA's implementation.
The Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration can help U.S. companies increase their trade in North America, offering such services as trade counseling, market intelligence, business matchmaking, resolving market access barriers, and commercial diplomacy.

For the past five years, I have dedicated my blog platform in the month of September to raise awareness and dollars for pediatric cancer research. I've done this by telling the story of my daughter's cancer and inviting other families living with childhood cancer to do the same. I have been honored to share ninety stories in the September Series, as well as writing and sharing Donna's Cancer Story.
This year, with some regret and some relief, I am choosing to take September off.
It's hard to explain the toll it has taken, how hard these Septembers have been for me and on me, and by extension, on my family. That personal cost has always felt somehow less important than the pain and suffering of children with cancer and those who love them. I have done the work of steeling myself and pushing forward, believing that the benefits of these stories far outweigh whatever intangible price I have paid personally.
My gut is telling me to pull back this year. I am trying to accept that knowing my limitations is a sign of strength and not weakness. I am working to convince myself that I am not walking away from a cause that is near and dear to me -- helping people see and understand the cost of underfunded research for childhood cancer, but that I am choosing to care for myself so that I can continue my advocacy, in whatever form that turns out to be.
It's been a hard sell.
Last week I wrote a blog post about the three grieving parents that told the stories of their children at the Republican and Democratic political conventions. Despite me stating very clearly that I did not judge Patricia Smith or Mr. and Mrs. Khan, despite me saying in black and white that given the chance and an invitation, I would surely make the same choice as the three grieving parents, despite me having told the story of my own grief for the past five years, more than a few readers chose to misinterpret the post and suggest, in lauguage both kind and unkind, that I was being hypocritical.
The comments on my Mary Tyler Mom Facebook page and the online comments after the Chicago Tribune picked up the post to run on their op/ed page drew me closer to deciding to shut it down, my public grief and advocacy, at least for now. But what led me to embrace my decision, the one I had been dragging my feet on for weeks, was an article I read over the weekend in the New York Times about the Khans' experience, "Moment in Convention Glare Shakes Up Khans' American Life."
The article is moving and powerful, an exploration of how a couple continue on after the loss of a child. It identifies the anchors the Khans found and those they made and clung to in order to stay afloat and not be lost in their sea of grief. The story talks about their day-to-day lives and their decision to speak at the Democratic National Convention, to call out Donald Trump for his behavior that the Khans fear, justifiably. And then it touches on the price they have paid as a result of their public grieving, their public advocacy.
There have been hateful messages, health concerns, suggestions that the Khans and their hero son have acted against the United States of America, their chosen home. Part of themselves and part of their grief has been lost to them, just as I had imagined it would be when the DNC brass asked them to speak for political purposes. They are symbols now, for better or for worse.
I respect this couple more than I could ever convey in words. And, I am taking a lesson from them. I am following their lead and stepping away from the public aspect of grief and advocacy, at least for now, this September.
I could try and articulate for a reader who has not experienced the loss of a child what the cost has been for me to remain a public symbol or gateway into the world of childhood cancer, but I would fail, I am certain. There are so many intangibles, so many subjective measures, but they are specific to me and my experiences. Yes, there have been hateful messages through the years. Strangers encouraging me to "find a new angle," or other such nonsense. But those have by far been overshadowed by the positive reception and welcome appreciation of people across the globe, grateful for having their eyes opened to childhood cancer and its underfunding in research dollars.
But still, part of me wants and needs for my girl, my Donna, to stop being a symbol, stop being a gateway into the childhood cancer community. When I first shared Donna's story in 2011, it was with the implicit goal of getting readers to come to know and love her, believing that if someone knew a child with cancer, they would start to care. And, I think, it worked. Amazingly, astoundingly well.
But still, there is a price to pay for me putting out my girl as bait, hoping she would catch and capture people's attention, in order for an important goal to be achieved -- that strangers to the childhood cancer community would see us and know we exist and that childhood cancer is woefully underfunded by both government and private research grants. I have used my girl and her story, her pain and her suffering, for what I believed to be the greater good. That is my truth, as hard as it is to type, as hard as it is to read, as hard as it is to understand.
With Facebook algorithms changing as they are, fewer of you are reading my words, fewer of you are sharing, and fewer would see any child that would be featured in a 2016 September Series post. It is hard for me to justify the solicitation of stories, to ask other parents to lay themselves bare, knowing the tangible benefits no longer exist in ways they did even a year ago. It is more difficult to reach online readers today than it was when I started this method of advocacy in 2011.
I remain so grateful to the dozens and dozens and dozens of families who opened themselves up to share their pain and joy and fear and vulnerability and their children with cancer so that others may gain a better understanding of how devastating a pediatric cancer diagnosis is. I can never repay to them what they have provided -- sharing themselves and their children for you to gain awareness. I still believe all of our efforts were worthwhile. And the children I have met remain with me in ways I find hard to explain. I hold each of them close to me.
Thank you for reading and sticking with us in the childhood cancer community these past five years. And please remember that even if you are not being fueled with stories of different children every day next month, that children are still being diagnosed, treated, living and dying with cancer. We are all still here, needing you more than ever.


1) Ulster County�s machines do not have required software installed, and would require a questionable upgrade. State Board staff has stated several times that they don�t� know which software would need to be upgraded, and what procedures would have to be followed to perform the upgrades.
2) The scanners have not passed either New York State or Federal certification testing. New York has been rightfully proud that our testing standards are among the highest in the nation. This high bar is important to safeguard the integrity of our vote. No voter should be asked to vote on equipment which has not met these rigorous standards.
Since these systems are currently massively failing New York�s preliminary testing (and Ulster county would need to use these failed versions) it will undoubtedly contain many known defects and even more unknown ones - using these systems in an actual election is unconscionable.
Using untested, uncertified machines is a truly terrible idea and something we�ve fought against from the beginning. Ulster County voters must not be guinea pigs and have to vote on systems which can�t even pass the initial testing phases. I strongly urge Ulster County do what every other county in New York State is doing and require that all their systems complete and pass New York State certification testing before they�re used in an election.


Have you insured your new car?
If you've recently invested in a new set of wheels, don't underestimate the importance of car insurance! Car insurance is a necessity, but that doesn't mean it is simple. You need to make sure that you get what you need, and aren't overpaying.
We are here to help. Read on for our simple guide on how to choose car insurance.
Make sure to get coverage for what you need and don't get up-sold if you don't want it. Make sure it includes what you want and don't be afraid to question things. Otherwise, you might be overpaying or get caught out.
Once you've settled on your coverage type, you can begin comparing quotes. It's important to do this as premiums can vary, often by thousands of dollars for the young. Try to get as many quotes as you can to establish a price range.
Compare the coverage too, a smaller quote might be missing some of the things you need. It's better to double check. Being thorough at this stage keeps you informed and gives you bargaining chips when negotiating. Be in control!
While looking at quotes, take the time to research the companies. Check their financial strength and read reviews! Also, find out if they use your credit score to calculate your rates and how they do this.
It will help you narrow down your choices and choose which quotes to look at further. They have a rating from major rating agencies like Moody's and Standard & Poor. You can access the ratings online. This website has found that many insurers will undervalue many claims, so choose carefully.
These deals will be a package deal, so make sure that you need all the added extras you're buying. Make sure they meet your needs and aren't covered by other sources. You could even save money by removing some options.
One add-on that can cause a lot of confusion is breakdown cover. If you already pay for breakdown cover, make sure you're not paying for it twice. If you don't, it can be cheaper to have it added to your insurance policy.
Adding extra drivers to your policy can have a big impact on your premium. One isn't going to make much difference. It might even lower your premium in some circumstances.
Adding a large amount though can lead to spiking costs. It is also advised that if you can avoid it, don't add anyone under 25 to your policy. Young drivers will often see your policy costs increase.
Making sure you have the right car insurance can be tricky. But if you follow our advice you will be making the best decision. Make sure you know what you want before you speak to any insurers, and always compare prices to avoid being ripped off.
Now you know how to choose car insurance, check out our tips on negotiating the best auto insurance deals.

New Populations of the Rheophytic Macrophyte Podostemum ceratophyllum Michx. (Hornleaf Riverweed) in West Virginia
Samuel A. Canfield
James L. Wood
Sep – 2021
macrophyte, Podostemum ceratophyllum, riverine, environmental stressor, West Virginia
Podostemum ceratophyllum (Hornleaf riverweed) is a macrophyte that inhabits swift-water rivers with stable substrates and abundant light in montane and piedmont ecoregions of eastern North America. Within these habitats, P. ceratophyllum is considered a foundation species because the plant can strongly influence community structure by increasing habitat complexity for macroinvertebrates and fishes, and facilitates resources cycling via elemental sequestration, herbivory, and detrital pathways. Currently, the USDA and NatureServe recognize P. ceratophyllum as a conservation concern in some states, but the plant's status remains uncertain in many other states. In West Virginia, P. ceratophyllum is considered imperiled (S2) by the West Virginia Natural Heritage Program. The most recent records were collected in 1998, while other populations have not been confirmed since the late 1800s. To expand our current understanding of the distribution of P. ceratophyllum in West Virginia, we surveyed six historical sites and 34 new sites between 2015–2019. Four historical sites were found to still support P. ceratophyllum, and 10 new populations were discovered in six different river systems; however, P. ceratophyllum was not found at 26 other sites surveyed. Identifying new populations of P. ceratophyllum and resurveying previously documented populations in West Virginia expands the ecological and botanical understanding of this notably underreported plant. Improved documentation of P. ceratophyllum in West Virginia may benefit river management and restoration efforts in the state and provide insight into the plant's sensitivity to anthropogenic disturbances.


Taylor Mansion might be the best place for smaller weddings. Located right across from Franklin Park off of Broad Street east of downtown. This wonderful wedding venue is beautiful for outside weddings using the Taylor Mansion's facade. The inside is spacious and you can have a tent in the back to have the reception. The pathways and brickwork are great outside accents that add to the Taylor Mansion. The location is also great if you wanted to walk across the street to get a few great portraits at the Franklin Park Conservatory or travel five minutes to downtown.
I had so much fun photographing Raelene and Tom's wedding. It was nice to shoot an outside wedding. I have been shooting inside weddings most of this year I am very glad the weather cooperated. They had their wedding at the Taylor Mansion on Broad Street in Columbus Ohio. I loved all the nice decorations from the flowers in the pool of the fountain to the lighting of the reception in the back of the Taylor Mansion. It was so nice to be a part of their special day.
Tom tees off on the 8th hole at the Little Turtle Country Club in Westerville, Ohio.
Raelene looks at her self in the mirror at the Changes Salon located at 2054 Polaris Parkway 43240.
Raelene gets the finishing touches to her makeup at the Hyatt downtown Columbus.
Super colorful flowers. These flowers look the best in the fall. Nice and rich yellows and reds. Beautiful!
Love this photo of her looking in the mirror.
The bridesmaids looking over the reception area.
Raelene smiles at Tom for the first time that day.
Colorful flowers float in the fountain.
This kid can dance! He was almost airborne half the time.
This guy can sing Meatloaf like no other.
The Taylor Mansion lit up at night with Tom and Raelene sharing the happiest day of their life.


For a number of reasons, I recently began practicing Yoga (again!) I want to see if keeping my body a bit more flexible will assist in alleviating some of the discomfort I have been experiencing in my back and neck. While doing the practice, I have discovered that rather than focusing on my spine, arms or legs, I seem to be concentrating on what my feet are doing. The teacher I use encourages me to "stand on the four corners of" my feet. Interestingly, when I do that, the rest of my body seems to fall into place.
While I certainly understand what it means to "be grounded" and have discovered many ways to get myself to that feeling, the Yoga experience is slightly different. Rather than "grounding" myself to keep my head connected to my body, Yoga enables me to "ground" myself in order to keep all the parts of my body connected, healthy and working together. The experience is extraordinary and strengthening.
Prayer, "grounding," Yoga or some other focused meditation on our feet, is a powerful way to connect with our life's path. It appears that in "strengthening our steps," The Holy One of Being points us in the right direction for whatever journey we may be taking today.

Congress Leader Pawan Khera Apologises to Gorkhas
Gorkhas in India
Congress Leader Pawan Khera Apologises for his Comments on Gorkhas
Recently during a TV debate, Congress Leader Pawan Khera had gone on to make a shocking comment on the Gorkhas calling them separatists and anti nationals.
The comment didn't go very well with the Gorkhas and thus Pawan Khera had received a huge backlash on twitter over the issue. Following the incident, he had issued a tweet where he had apologised over his comment.
Mr. Khera has today issued a formal written apology in over the issue where he writes,
"Respected Gorkha Sisters and Brothers,
In the loud cacophony of the studio debate, there was a misunderstanding caused due to some words, definitely not caused for valiant Gorkhas, I regret that.
I apologize for any inadvertent misunderstanding caused to my Gorkha sisters and brothers.
I salute the sacrifice of Veer Shaheed Major Durga Malla, as the bravest example of what Gorkha Community has done for the motherland. They are patriotic and as Indians as the rest of us.
I salute your courage and patriotism."
Where we believe that as humans we do make mistakes, we also believe that owning up our mistake is the first thing we can do to make things right. We appreciate Mr. Khera for admitting his mistake and coming up to apologize for the same. We believe that our Gorkha Brothers and sisters will forgive him, as we have always had hearts bigger anything else.

Congress Leader Labels Gorkhas as "Separatists, Anti-Nationals, Traitors, anti-India
SHAME: Congress Leader Pawan Khera Labels Gorkhas as "Separatists, Anti-Nationals, Traitors, anti-India" – GORKHAS DEMAND UNCONDITIONAL APOLOGY
In another instance of humiliation meted out to the Gorkhas, Pawan Khera senior Congress spokesperson and former Political Secretary to Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit clubbed Gorkhas with Khalistan Separatists and went on to label the Gorkhas as "separatist and anti-nationals."
The offensive comment was made by Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera in NDTV debate program Left Right and Center.
Reacting to the BJP accusation of Congress joining hands with Popular Front of India, which has been deemed to be a militant and extremist organization, Congress leader Khera started to count the alliances that BJP had made, and counting his fingers claimed, "Bodo, Naga, Gorkha, pro-Khalistan elements, IPFT in Tripura – six states in which you have joined hands with separatists, anti-Nationals, traitors, anti-India."
This slur on the Gorkha community was immediately condemned on Twitter, by @BiswadeepTamang who wrote, " @Pawankhera how irresponsible of you to equate the entire #Gorkha community with Khalistanis and Naga rebels. You are totally ill informed by Jyoti Basu and his brigades on what #Gorkhas in India stands for. Educate yourself, before you speak rubbish. @Nidhi"
He also uploaded the following screenshot to inform the ill-informed Congress spokesperson.
" @Pawankhera Read what Congress and the former PM Rajiv Gandhi had then said on Gorkhaland. October 15, 1986 India Today https://bit.ly/2wumvqc"
Another Gorkha twitteratti Dinesh Sharma who tweets under the handle @OyeKeta wrote,
"Dear @INCIndia, please clarify what your official @PawanKhera means by calling #Gorkhaland #Bodoland #NagaIssue anti-national conspiracy. Your politics of #appeasement and #MongoloidPrejudices has pushed democratic movements in the #NorthEast to the brink of extremism #Apologize"
Taking strong exception to the lies spewed on national TV, one of the most followed Gorkha twitterattis @DipendraDipzo wrote a series of tweets, among which he asked Pawan Khera to apologize,
"Hello half-informed idiot @Pawankhera APOLOGIZE ASAP. Since when Demanding statehood within the UNION of INDIA became Anti India?? Hello, @INCIndia @RahulGandhi make this moron @pawankhera to APOLOGIZE ASAP. You are a traitor, not us. Idiot."
The outrage felt by all Gorkhas on twitter, is gradually turning into a gradual movement to ensure that no one throws Gorkha name to muck again, as this tweet by @VaniraKhati states,
"In a moment of absolute brain freeze @Pawankhera labels Gorkhas as anti nationals. He cannot get away by tampering with our reputation thus. #CongressMustApologizeToGorkhas"
Following the intesne pressure put forth by Gorkha twitterattis, @Pawankhera issued an apology, in which he clarified, "Highest regard for Gorkhas and their valour. The words were dedicated to the RSS/BJP for their double standards on electoral alliances."
However, Gorkha twitterattis want Pawan Khera to issue an unconditional apology for slurring the name of our community. As this tweet by @GorkhaCheli explained,
"U drew parallel with anti nationals. Named us along with Separatists. Called us Traitors. FYI, there is dedicated regiment of Gorkhas protecting our nation at the borders and thats why you are able to raise your voice in Studios with comfort."
Another leading Gorkha twitteratti @sudlimbu tweeted,
"On what ground this ill informed ignorant @Pawankhera labelled us separatists and antinationals? Is demanding a separate state under UNION OF INDIA antinational? We condemn his malicious statement maligning our repute and seek his Apology ASAP"
Another twitteratti @mamathaparoy1 added,
"These kind of lies are misleading, and makes ones blood boil. He doesn't know what he's saying. The right thing would be to apologise to the ever loyal Gorkha's, who are sent, first in every war."
The support for Gorkhas is coming from others as @MarkKumar3 writes,
"We support Gorkhas demand for their own state separate from West Bengal. This @Pawankhera won't learn like this. Teach him some manners in Gorkha style"
Time for Pawan Khera to issue a proper apology.

Distinguishing "Gorkhalis" And "Nepali" Immigrants
Manipuri Gorkhas
In terms of migrants and immigrants, it is well acknowledged that due to the open border policy shared between India and Nepal, people from both the nations have emigrated from one nation to the other.
While immigration has continued freely post Independence, what majority of the people in India fail to realize is that prior to the British invading various parts of India, Nepalis were already living in across the length and breadth of India. Places like Darjeeling, parts of Sikkim, Kangra, and Garhwal were actually parts of Nepal until 1816 when these tracts of lands were handed over to the British. The land which were usurped by the British also contained a healthy population of Indigenous Nepali speaking population – today these people who did not cross the border, but for whom the borders crossed them back in 1816, are recognized as GORKHAS in the Indian context.
The term "Gorkha" is used in India to identify the Indian citizens of Nepali ethnicity including the indigenous Lepchas and Bhutias (in the Darjeeling and Sikkim context), from the citizens of Nepal who are referred to as "Nepalese."
Treaty Blues
Due to Indo- Nepal Treaty of Peace and Friendship, 1950 (INFT) – the term "illegal immigrants" does not apply to people from Nepal entering India or Indian citizens entering Nepal. Every Indian citizen who moves to Nepal or every Nepali who moves to India does so legally and is protected by the INFT of 1950.
Article 6 and 7 of the INFT – 1950 state the following
Article 6: Each Government undertakes, in token of the neighborly friendship between India and Nepal, to give to the nationals of the other, in its territory, national treatment with regard to participation in industrial and economic development of such territory and to the grant of concessions and contracts, relating to such development. Article 7: The Governments of India and Nepal agree to grant, on a reciprocal basis, to the nationals of one country in the territories of the other the same privileges in the matter of residence, ownership of property, participation in trade and commerce, movement and other privileges of a similar nature.
Sadly it is these two clauses which were written to safeguard citizens from India and Nepal in each other's country, which creates misunderstanding and problem for Indian Gorkhas.
Most of the people across India naturally assume that all "Nepalis" are from Nepal, and start calling us "foreigners," "immigrants," and "outsiders" in various parts of India, and particularly so whenever we have demanded our rights to a separate state – Gorkhaland here in Darjeeling.

पहाडमा रोहिङ्या अनि गोर्खा जाती
थुलुङ भाई
अहिले घरी सामाजिक संजालहरुमा कतिथ रुपले रोहिङ्या मुसलमान पहाडँ(कालेबुङ) भित्र पसेको भिडियो चर्चाको बिषय बनेको छ।
यदि साच्चै नै ती सबै ब्यक्तिहरु रोहिङ्या मुसलमानहरु हुन भने यो समग्र पहाडँ अनि गोर्खा जातीको निम्ति मात्रै नभएर देशको सुरक्षा ब्यवस्था माथी नै हमला हो।के भिडियोमा देखिएको ब्यक्तिहरु भारतीय मुसलमान हुन अथवा पहाडँ घुम्न आएका साधारण पर्यटकहरु मात्र हुन?कहाँ छन् उनीहरु अहिले? के गर्दैछन्?
पुलिस प्रशासन अनि गोर्खाल्यान्ड क्षेत्रीय प्रशासनका अधिकारीहरुले झट्ट यो बिषय माथी ध्यानसंग छानबिन गरि सत्यता के हो जनता सामु ल्याउन नितान्त आवश्यक छ।कारण यस्ता घटनाहरुले पहाडँमा फेरि अशान्ति शृजना गर्न सक्छ भन्न सकिन्दैन। गोर्खाल्याण्ड क्षेत्रीय प्रशासनको प्रवेस द्वार सुकुना देखि केही मिनेट टाडो सालबाढीमा पनि बिगत दिनहरु भन्दा धेरै संख्यामा अवैध बंगलादेशीहरुको प्रवेस भएको कुरा प्रकाशमा आएको छ अनि उनिहरुले हेर्दाहेर्दै एउटा नयाँ गाउँ नै बनाएको लेखक स्वयं लाई अनुभव छ।तब प्रश्न उठँछ यहा,के यस्ता घटनाहरु प्रशासनको जानकारी बिना घटन सक्छ?के राज्यको खुफिया विभागलाई यस बारे जानकारी हुदैन? प्रश्न गम्भीर छ।अनि त्यो भन्दा गम्भीर कुरो यस्ता कुराहरु प्रकासमा आएपनी प्रशासन किन मौन? राज्य सरकार होस अथवा केन्द्र सरकार दुवैले यो बिसयमा चासो न राखेको झै देखिन्छ।
केन्द्र सरकारको एक रिपोर्ट अनुसार पश्चिम् बंगालमा मात्रै २ करोड अवैध बंगलादेशीहरु बसोबास गर्छन्।
आसाम राज्य पनि अवैध बंगलादेशीहरुको समस्याले ग्रसित छ भने उडिस्सा पनि अछुतो छैन।सन १९७९ सालमा अल आसाम स्टुडेन्ट युनियनले अवैध बंगलादेशीको मुद्दा सरकार सम्मुख उठाएका थिए।तर सरकारले गम्भीरता पुर्वक लिएन,फलस्वरूप वर्तमान समयमा आएर केन्द्र सरकारलाई हस्ताक्षेप गर्न कर लाग्यो अनि असली भारतीय मुसलमान अनि अवैध बंगलादेशी छुट्टाउने प्रक्रिया आसाममा चलिरहेको छ।यी तीन राज्य मध्ये अवैध बंगलादेशीहरुको निम्ति पश्चिम् बंगाल राज्यमा प्रवेस गर्न सबैभन्दा सजिलो रहेको पनि बिगतका कतिपय भाइरल भिडियोहरु अनि घटनाहरुले स्पष्ट बुझाएको छ।
अन्तमा कालेबुङ शहर भित्र रोहिङ्या प्रवेश गरेको कतिथ घटनालाई कुनै राजनीतिकरण नगरी गम्भीरता पुर्वक छानबिन गरि सत्य कुरा उजागर गर्न अहिलेको परिवेशमा आवश्यक छ।

Aqui Thami's travelling library putting the spotlight on women's books
Meet Aqui Thami from Darjeeling, whose travelling library is putting the spotlight on women's books
'Sister Library', founded by the artist and activist, is going to several cities and sparking conversations around the representation of women in literature.
Aqui Thami is an artist and activist from Darjeeling, currently based in Mumbai, who is known for work that brings together both of those worlds. She put up one hundred posters with the words, "A woman was harassed here," or "You aren't giving me a compliment. You're giving me the creeps," in places around Mumbai where she and people she knew had been harassed. She has been working in the Dharavi Art Room with the founder, Himanshu, since 2012 to provide women and children in the community with a place to express and heal themselves through art.
In Bombay Underground, they promote and publish zines – a low-cost artistic production that allows them to, in Thami's words, "break the epistemological hierarchy." One of her zines about periods featured women's reflections and stories about menstruation. Her latest project is the Sister Library – a travelling library of one hundred books from Thami's own book collection that focuses solely on women's writing. The library will tour Mumbai, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Goa, and Cochin with accompanying talks and discussions. She spoke to Scroll.in about the role of libraries, the desire to share books and zines that took her a long time to find, and what a permanent collection of these works might look like. Excerpts from the interview:
I want to start by asking about your personal connection to libraries. Did you have access to libraries growing up? Can you tell us about a library experience that has been meaningful for you?
The project comes from an absence of spaces like these in my life. From longing to find books written by female authors at the roadside bookwallahs to fancier bookshops in the city – a variety of books, not just that token bestseller. Also, Sister Library is not a conventional library, it is an evolving and generative artwork that engages with the visual and reading culture of our times.
Underground Bookhouse (a bookshop-cum-library with books on art, culture and activism) was an experience like no other when it came to reading and writing. As an artist, activist and a scholar it was the only space that triangulated my interests. It was from this place of syncretism that I started to reflect on a possibility of a space just like that but one that celebrates women.
Is there a criteria besides female authorship for inclusion in the library? What would you say drives this curation?
It is a curated library of a hundred works by women writers, artists and zine makers. I have curated a mix of things that I really enjoyed. It came from a place of sharing. Having scouted numerous places in search of these works and knowing how difficult it is to procure them, I feel like it is only fair that I share them with everyone that thirsts for them like I did.
Is the role of a librarian a political one to you? You're choosing to focus on women's literature. When the size of the collection is still relatively small, every book or zine becomes a reading recommendation.
I wouldn't call myself a librarian. Sadly, in our times libraries have become places of exclusion, not only in the sense of who might have access to these high walls and gates but also whose works are celebrated, cited and awarded as the most valid and credible.
Sister Library is more an act of reclaiming libraries – celebrating works that don't find mention in the mainstream media and re-examining the idea of what a library could be. The fact that this project is an interactive work that will be travelling in all its DIY spirit and glory is a step towards redefining what a library could be.
At Sister Library, we will also be celebrating orality. Being an indigenous person, I feel a sense of restriction that writing has brought about amongst us. While we cannot ignore the importance of written text, I also look at it as a colonial legacy. Our libraries were our ancestors. Oral literatures were not just a cultural heritage but also a way of teaching language, rituals and knowledge.
I have over 1000 books in my collection but since it is a travelling library it limits me to a certain number. I have decided on 100.
The books featured on the project's Instagram include a lot of non-fiction, graphic novels, zines, and poetry. Could you talk to us a little about why the library is drawn to those genres, what it gains from them?
It is curated mix of fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, zines and periodicals.
I am a zinester and have been drawn towards their straightforwardness. Content is the only thing that sells a zine. How nice the paper is, how great the print is are all secondary. Since these works are produced independently, they are so very refreshing, from their themes to deconstruction of language. Zines made by women talk about things that we never really get to read about anywhere else.
Non-fiction works of women are harder to find in my experience. Historical factuality from a woman's perspective is not considered important, but to understand and reflect on where our world stands it is important that we read non-fiction. Reading nonfiction helps unlearn and deconstruct that internalised male gaze you know we all have after years of consuming male perspectives of everything.
And I do enjoy non-fiction as much as I enjoy fiction. But because women were historically denied epistemic validity when writing non-fiction, I was moved to reading more and more non-fiction which in turn enriched my work and life processes.
I can't ignore the relationship between women's movement and poetry. Poetry has been medicine to me at various points in my life. I wanted to share it with the visitors of Sister Library too.
The library is set to tour from the end of April to Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Goa, and Cochin with accompanying talks and discussions. Do you expect that the different personality of each of these places will affect how they interact with the library?
I cannot predict how each city will interact with the SL. I can only say that it will be constantly modified by its interaction with the people.
At the moment, the library draws from your personal book collection. If people are interested in the project and want to donate books written by women, how would they go about it?
All contributions are welcome. There have been zinesters sending their zines from all over the world, there have been authors wanting to send their books and there have been older feminists and activists who want to share books that drove them in the struggle that paved a way for us. It has been such a blessing.
At every venue, there will be a collection booth for interested people to drop their books. They could also ship books to this address in Mumbai: Art Room Foundation, Flat No 1, Shangri-La Apartments, Khandeshwari Mandir Marg, Mount Mary Steps, Bandra West, 400050.
The goal, I've heard you say in another interview, is to have a permanent collection if enough support and interest is generated by the tour. What would this permanent collection where people can borrow books look like?
I have dreamed of a feminist library, it's true. It will be everything the travelling Sister Library is but in a permanent space. Open to people to come and read, as well as become members and borrow books. It will be a new place to see and understand the world – providing a unique experience to be immersed in works created by women exclusively thereby creating new narrative, providing the space to ask questions, and to look and to think about the answers. It obviously must be community-owned, volunteer-run and a safe space. It will all depend on how much funding I will be able to raise to make the permanent space happen, but ideally, it should be a big enough space for the books, zines and other publication as well as other activities such as story telling, reading circles, book clubs, and zine making. It should be accessible to people with disabilities. People can get in touch with me if they are interested in supporting Sister Library with money, space or books.

There's been a ton of talk about meditation and affirmations in the wellness world lately. The benefits of taking a few minutes to meditate each morning will improve your entire day! A recent Harvard Medical School study even showed that meditation actually changes the structure of the brain. It is proven to improve cognition, memory, emotional regulation, and reduce mind wandering and stress. Meditation is a practice though. It's like going to the gym; you can't expect to improve your physical strength by going to the gym only one time. It has to be a consistent, daily habit.
This meditation technique is a practice that takes no extra time out of your day, guarantees you a distraction free space, and is extremely easy to implement in your daily routine. Oh and it's absolutely free! It requires no app download or subscription fee. Heck, you don't even need to purchase a meditation cushion!
(Yes, that's right - it's literally a meditation that you do while you are showering).
As you shampoo your hair, get present; massage your scalp, connect with your breath, and feel the water on your skin.
Continue to focus on your breath as you let the water rinse the soap from your hair. Visualize any stress, anxiety, and worries leaving your body and being carried away down the drain.
Once all of the energy that does not serve you has left your body and gone down the drain (literally!), visualize a white light entering your body through the top of your head and moving down to your heart and throughout your entire body. This white light is an energy of positivity, peace, healing, and love.
Visualize this white light radiating from your body and turning into a positive energy field that surrounds you, protects you, and sends out good vibes into the world all day long.
It's funny but true that the shower is one of the only places we find ourselves free from distractions these days, making it the perfect place for a daily practice. This meditation technique is so powerful because when you're washing your physical body in the shower, it is a lot easier to visualize washing away stress and negativity from your energetic body at the same time. This technique also makes it extremely easy to establish meditation as a habit since showering is something that is done on a daily basis. Let the act of showering be a trigger that reminds you to meditate every single day.

8,7 - 4,2 - 9,7
My Grandmother on my Father's side, Agnieszka, died when I wasn't almost 10 years old. I was not very close to her; we did not go to my Father's home village near Rzeszow very often, three times a year at the most. Grandma herself was a secretive and reticent person. In fact, I don't remember her talking at all. She would smile at the sight of us, place three kisses on our cheeks, then she would go back to work. I mostly remember her carrying different buckets to different places. Nevertheless, her death touched me, though not directly. Most of all, it was shocking to think that as of now, my own parent no longer has any parents left (Grandfather died 9 years before I was born). That something the thought of which filled me with paralysing horror, something unimaginable, for him just happened and apparently his world goes on. My own reaction to the news of her death was also a surprise. At first I felt nothing. No pain, no regret, not even a shadow of sadness. And immediately afterwards a kind of disappointment and shame that I don't feel anything though I probably should. And in the next moment, a curiosity deepening the shame, whether I would feel something being closer to all this, touching this death more directly. I wanted to see the Grandma dead, to see the family that lived with her every day, to see the funeral and my Father before and during the funeral. So I asked him to take me with him (he was going alone). He agreed.
There is nothing left in my memory from the road there. The first thing I remember, and this memory is very vivid and intense, is the Grandma in the coffin. As the old custom ordered, the open coffin with the deceased was displayed for several days (three, I think) in one of the rooms in the house where the deceased used to live, with changing ranks of praying and singing weepers standing guard. There, I finally felt more of what I thought I should have felt. I felt trepidation. I felt the grotesqueness of the motionless Grandma in the coffin and, at the same time, the horror of this immobility. I stared at her, knowing that she wouldn't move, but I was unable to shake the painful, itching sensation that she was about to move after all, because it was simply impossible to stay so still. I felt that this stillness is an illusion, but one beyond which I cannot reach and that I must accept. I had the urge to touch the Grandma, to see what her body would feel like – cold or hard? – but I shuddered at the thought of actually touching her. I couldn't stop wondering which of the many smells in the room was the smell of a corpse. I also felt a wave of sadness. I felt sorry for Grandma. Her motionless body in the coffin, as well as her whole life, though I knew little about it, and finally the whole world in which this moment is a reality from which there is no escape, seemed to me painfully, terribly sad and regrettable. The backbone, support, or perhaps convenient ruts for this grief were the voices of the weepers. Their singing was monotonous and penetrating. I felt that it was conventional, that the singing ladies with headscarves on their heads were not necessarily in great sorrow themselves, but these wails of theirs, the tone of their voices, the shape and rhythm of the melody, the very words I can't remember, were like a natural, obvious and necessary backdrop to this time-stretched moment.
Then, during the funeral itself, I felt little again. Mostly the cold - it was a cloudy and windy late morning. I glanced at my Father, whose face expressed nothing. Maybe fatigue. The sound of a shovel digging into the clay soil and the sound of clods falling on the coffin seemed startling to me; somehow cozy. I tried to keep a solemn expression, which earned me a few "how serious and mature" remarks from those gathered, what filled me with both involuntary pride and disgust at the same time. And then I remember clearly the early morning of the next day as we hurried to catch the train in Rzeszów. The weather has changed, the sun has just risen and was shining brightly, and few bands of the highest clouds were visible in the sky. For a moment I thought I could feel the Earth rotating, and the sensation took my breath away. There were no people on the streets, we were completely alone.
The ride back was long but enjoyable. I remember clearly the blue upholstery of the seats in the compartment and the lights above the seats. We ate ham rolls and drank tea from a thermos flask. I had a feeling that this ride was going to last a long time, that it would end at some point, and it was scary, but I still had time. Dusk was growing outside the window, which pleased me because I really wanted to see how the lights worked.

PROPERTY ECONOMICS
HMAS Platypus Site Valuation and Land Economics Advice
Occupying a prime waterfront position in Sydney's affluent suburb of Neutral Bay, the HMAS Platypus site presented an exciting development opportunity. Originally a gasworks site, it was acquired by the Commonwealth Government in 1942 to be used as a submarine base and for torpedo maintenance. The site was decommissioned in 1999 but its former use left major residual contamination.
Before vesting the site to the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust, a major due diligence exercise was undertaken, during which HillPDA provided valuation and land economics guidance to inform the planning controls that would underpin future land uses. Using the Estate Master property software, the HillPDA Team undertook a number of feasibility assessments to complete the Highest and Best Use Analysis for the site and uncover the most appropriate disposal strategy. The site's contamination was a central issue that needed to be resolved in order for it to become suitable for residential development in order to maximise the potential of this valuable public asset.
Involving the community in discussions regarding such a major site was essential. HillPDA communicated complex commercial viability issues in an easy-to-understand manner so that the community could appreciate the extensive costs associated with the site's contamination and how this influenced the economics of its redevelopment.
The work undertaken facilitated a Memorandum of Understanding between the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust and the Department of Defence (May 2009) for the remediation the site which was an integral element in the vesting of the site with the Trust.

Not Quite the Result He Was Looking For!
Posted by: Ron Brideaux
An Applicant found himself in the unfortunate position of having an award of costs on an indemnity basis made against him in the Supreme Court on 18th August 2014.
The Plaintiff described himself as His Royal Highness, King of the Whiting Kingdom, Baron of the Whiting region, King Steven 1 ATF Steven James Whiting. As it turned out Mr Whiting represented himself, seeking to have Family Court orders which had been made in favour of his wife, reversed. In addition he sought relief, including the return of his children to him, damages to be paid in Tory ounces of gold, the return of a property to him, and the Queen to "remedy or abdicate as per coronation oath of her office". The Plaintiff described himself as "a self-represented Applicant exhausting his last peaceful avenues, before declaration of war."
The Court found, inter alia, that it did not have jurisdiction to make orders that were more properly in the Federal Court sphere, and provided a succinct history of the Legislative authority for the Family Court and Federal Circuit Court to have exclusive jurisdiction over matrimonial causes.
The Court found the claim and statement of claim manifestly groundless and determined that it should be struck out. The Court also considered that serious claims were made by the Plaintiff against his wife and the Solicitors for his wife, without apparent justification, and therefore indemnity costs were appropriate.

3D startup Volumental secures 3 MUSD from FOUNDER.org and MOOR, announces POC with Intel
3D customization pioneer Volumental has taken on one of the largest seed investments in Sweden led by Silicon Valley investor FOUNDER.org and Stockholm-based MOOR.
Volumental's platform builds on two revolutions happening right now: 3D enabled cameras are becoming widely accessible in mobile devices and 3D printers are increasingly accurate, affordable and available. Volumental's software is used for accurate scanning of the human body using simple 3D depth cameras. The cloud-based platform will allow individuals to create products that are customized to their own bodies.
Several proofs of concepts within orthotics and ecommerce are under way, including a project with Intel using 3D depth-sensing laptops for fitting shoes that was demoed at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco on September 10th and may be launched by the end of the year. Volumental envisions a future in which manufacturing is completely individualized and localized and plans to use the investment to keep growing the team and launch their first products on the journey towards that vision.
Volumental's 3D scanning and modeling software originated with a 2012 research project at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. In 2013, the founding team got accepted to Sweden's leading business incubator, STING. Today, the international team consists of 16 people with experience within research at NASA, Google, Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford and four PhD level computer vision researchers.
The current project with Intel adds to the early customer list consisting of companies in Europe and Silicon Valley. Volumental's software creates accurate scannings of the human body using simple 3D depth cameras, which hardware manufacturers like Intel have suggested will be integrated into handheld mobile devices and laptops within a year, meaning commercial applications targeting home users will be possible much sooner than anticipated. Volumental plans to continue working with strategic partners to develop their technology further and expand into more industries and geographies.
FOUNDER.org and MOOR share Volumental's passion for using 3D to enable a new customized world where the individual is at the center of the production process. Michael Baum of FOUNDER.org first met CEO Caroline Walerud and the team at Volumental when they were selected for the FOUNDER.org Class of 2015.
"The next wave of consumer choice will be driven by mass customization and enabled by online configuration technologies like 3D scanning. Volumental is absolutely the best of the best in engineering and productization talent around 3D visualization. We are very excited to work with Volumental and help the world around us transform from one size fits all to customization for everyone," said Michael Baum.
Mikael Moreira from MOOR, the venture investment firm of Rovio Entertainment Chairman Kaj Hed comments, "There is a huge market being created within customization of products and we at MOOR believe that the Volumental team has the exceptional talent, product ingredients, and vision, needed to build this market. We are really fired up about working together with the entire Volumental team."
