Morphology is the study of animal form. In paleontology, this primarily refers to the study of bone anatomy and function, and muscle reconstruction from evidence of muscle attachments on bone. During the past few years, paleontologists have also begun inferring the presence of superficial structures from bone surface anatomy, such as trunks, horns, and fleshy patches.

The digital morphology lab is the state of the art three dimensional imaging lab in the country. At this site the user can browse through the site by scientific name, common name, or cladogram to see spectacular imagery and animations, as well as details on the morphology of many representatives of the Earth's biota.

The following are some ideas for teaching about morphology in the classroom.
Analyzing Fossil Morphology This Journal of Geoscience Education article describes an introductory laboratory activity that outlines some of the common statistical techniques used to describe the shape and form (morphology) of a fossil.
Evolution Telephone This Journal of Geoscience Education article describes a short class activity that can be used to illustrate evolution through the childhood game "telephone."
Analyzing Fossil Morphology; Cladism This Journal of Geoscience Education article describes an activity to teach about cladism, the relationships among shared characteristics of groups of organisms, by using cladograms.
If you have browsed through these pages, you have probably seen how much you can gather from three dimensional images and CAT scans. One trend in recent years has been the popularity of broad scientific surveys, and one of the biggest of these contributions to the field has been undertaken by Dr. Tim Rowe.
Dr. Rowe is the founder of the digital morphology lab at University of Texas at Austin. The lab specializes in various methods of three-dimensional scanning, analysis and reconstruction. He has created and overseen numerous CT scans of modern animals, the three-dimensional examination of Tyrannosaurus Sue, and the uncovering of the Archaeoraptor forgery, one of the greatest fossil scandals since the Piltdown Man. The work of the Digimorph lab under his direction has provided a resource for all levels from the public to the academic community.
Digimorph Lab - The Digimorph lab website is a gateway to learning about skull anatomy. The site has several portals through which skull CT scans can be accessed; the common names, popular searches, and scientific names. Once inside of the specimen lists, the user can choose to view a variety of scans, depending on the availability for the specimen. The most dramatic view is probably the cutaway scan which combines an external view with the internal CT slices. On many of the scans, additional information about the specimen is included below, including related papers, and sometimes x-rays.
Listen to this NPR story on the Digimorph Lab.
Dr. Witmer originated the concept of the extant phylogenetic bracket in paleontology, or the idea that inferences about the structure and function of soft parts, like trunks, or noses, in ancient animals made from bony remains should be compared to similar structures in living related animals. The majority of Dr. Witmer's research concerns these types of soft-tissue reconstructions, and the research at his lab is based on extensive dissection of structures, mostly on donated animal cadavres, that overlie the bone in the skull like horns, and ear canals.


PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - An evidence suppression hearing for a Maine man who wants his confession to killing a sheriff's deputy kept out of his upcoming trial ended Monday without him testifying about alleged abuse by arresting officers.
There was no need for John Williams to testify about his mistreatment, defense lawyer Verne Paradie said. His client was recently examined by a forensic psychologist, Dr. Sarah Miller, who produced an impounded report in which Williams outlined the alleged abuse in detail, Paradie said. Miller testified Monday.
The report will be part of the record used by Justice Robert Mullen in determining whether the confession should be suppressed when Williams stands trial in June.
The defense contends that Williams was beaten and kicked, tired and hungry, and just wanted to avoid further harm when he twice waived his right to consult an attorney and confessed to police, going so far as to act out his interactions with law enforcement.
Somerset Sheriff's Department Cpl. Cole was the first police officer to be killed in the line of duty in nearly 30 years in Maine. Williams allegedly told police that he "eliminated" the deputy on April 25 because he was angry with him for arresting his fiancée a few days earlier.
Williams was arrested outside a remote cabin April 28 after a massive manhunt. He was shirtless and shoeless when he was captured and appeared exhausted when he was led out of the woods.
Police say Williams got a black eye while resisting during his arrest.
Paradie contends that Williams did not resist and was beaten. He also says Williams was suffering from drug withdrawal, hadn't slept, and hadn't eaten when state police detectives interrogated him.


Not until Jean Pratt was doused with mustard and her husband, Mike, with Thousand Island dressing did the full meaning of Nickelodeon's game show Family Double Dare become apparent.
These innocent citizens of Johnson City, N.Y., were "gakked" by their giggling children while a couple hundred members of a studio audience nearly fell off their seats laughing.
Gak is the goopy, syrupy stuff that has become the hallmark of Nick's Double Dare games and a corporate symbol for the kids' cable channel. But not until now has gak been leveled at grown-ups -- in the Pratts' case, yellow and peach-colored gak.
Family Double Dare is the latest incarnation of the hit Nickelodeon show that first aired in 1986. At Universal Studios Florida, the network is taping 36 episodes of the family show. The shows begin airing weekends at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 8.
The game pits two teams -- each a family of four -- in a battle for cash and prizes. Host Marc Summers asks questions, some that kids should know (Who plays Rudy Huxtable on The Cosby Show?), some that parents should know (What did Babe Ruth do before he played baseball?) and some that confound everybody (What landlocked state has as its state bird the sea gull?).
When no team has an answer, one may end up in a "physical challenge" that allows points and dollars to be racked up in lieu of solving the question.
For the mustard stunt, Mrs. Pratt donned a life-sized hot dog bun and sat beneath a vat of saffron gak while her daughter Karen, 11, threw baseballs at a target that could trigger the dumping of the liquid. She was a good shot.
Lisa Pratt, 12, gakked her father while he sat under a giant food processor with a salad bowl strapped to his head. When Lisa -- also a good shot -- had tossed a head of lettuce, a tomato and a bell pepper into the shredder, she poured a gallon of Thousand Island on her helpless father's noggin.
What joy for the children. Here, grinning through the sopping goo, are the very people who have admonished them endlessly to wipe their feet and wash their hands. Here, dripping in muck, are the loving parents who steered clear of the sandbox, the mud pies and the water fights. Ha!
The delicious irony of all this is that these parents want to be gakked. Family Double Dare, you see, also appeals to a basic adult instinct: winning. Only by succeeding at a stunt, i.e., getting messy, do the teams gain points.
Winning was the only motivation when, in another game, the normally fastidious Randy Whitney of Orlando began his furious attempts to destroy the cloak of balloons that had been placed around him. Each popped balloon soaked him with whipped cream. But then, the race with the other team was foremost on his mind.
The Whitneys got so messy and answered so many questions that the scoreboard, programmed only to $999, couldn't keep up. The $1,050 in cash they won was a Double Dare record.
Family Double Dare, though, is about more than winning and being gakked. It's about families at play, about kids with kids-at-heart for parents.
"Not many of my friends have parents who would do this," Greg Whitney, 13, told his mother, Alison.
In auditions, Nickelodeon looked for families who worked well together, who liked to laugh and joke. To qualify, they had to make up a song, skit or cheer and also pass a physical challenge, such as holding an orange between their neck and chin and passing it to each other.
Linda and Gary Kane of Orlando and their daughters Erin, 14, and Cara, 12, dressed up for the audition in red and white shirts and introduced themselves, to a rap melody, as The Candy Kanes. The game was a special experience, Mrs. Kane says, and not just because they won a Dodge minivan. "It made us feel so together," she says.


Some medical practices rush to advertise what they most want to sell, and they do so without regard for consumer needs and expectations. The fundamental truth here is that no one goes shopping to buy "a surgery," or a medical treatment. People are shopping for and buying a greater well being for themselves. Online Marketing For Doctors in Highland Woods Mobile Home Park, Florida that understands and communicates a solution to a problem or an answer to a need is essential to both helping people and attracting patient revenue.

O Boston Soccer Club foi um clube de futebol de Boston. American Soccer League . Entre 1924 e 1932, disputou a American Soccer League. Eles foram mudaram de nome para Boston Bears para a temporada de outono de 1929 da ASL.

História

Em 1925, a ASL e a St. Louis Soccer League (SLSL) boicotaram a National Challenge Cup, agora conhecida como US Open Cup . Os "Wonder Workers" ou "Woodsies" (em homenagem ao presidente da equipe GAG Wood), como eram chamados, haviam vencido a copa da liga de 1925, conhecida como Lewis Cup . Essa vitória os qualificou para o American Professional Soccer Championship, colocando-os contra o Ben Millers, o melhor time do SLSL. Os Wonder Workers derrotaram os Ben Millers em três jogos. Os Wonder Workers ganharam a Lewis Cup novamente em 1927.

Depois da temporada 1925/26 da ASL, o Wonder Workers, o Brooklyn Wanderers e o New Bedford Whalers juntaram-se a quatro grandes clubes canadenses para formar a International Soccer League realizada naquele verão e início do outono.

Five years on from their first critically-acclaimed collaboration, 2013's Get Up!, singer-songwriter blues-man Ben Harper and harmonica-great Charlie Musselwhite return for another much-anticipated inter-generational meeting.
No Mercy In This Land kicks off in strong form with the almost biblical 'When I Go', which could almost pass for a leftover track from a Led Zeppelin session. Harper's voice, like Robert Plant's, is uniquely suited to the blues, and here he is in fine form throughout. 'Bad Habits' keeps up the pace with jazzed-up drums and some nicely spiky guitar, 'When a man gives you his hat, he's living on borrowed time,' sings Harper, a pleasingly ambiguous lyric.
We can't go much further, of course, without commenting on Musselwhite's playing. Surely the star of this show, his harmonica edges, pushes, jumps, drives and snarls without ever over-powering the mix. Musselwhite is a living legend and rightly so and his musicianship crackles like lightning.
This is an album that is classy from start to finish. If one were to be hyper-critical (and that's my job) one might lament that the production is a little over-polished, robbing the music of a some grit, and not quite every cut is of diamond quality. Nevertheless, we should count ourselves fortunate that such music is still be released in this age of easily-digested homogeneous pop. 'There's A Price We Pay For Putting In On The Line,' Harper aptly laments on the closing track. Recommended.

Giuseppe Maria Grimaldi (Moncalieri, 3 de enero de 1754 - Vercelli, 1 de enero de 1830) fue un prelado católico italiano, obispo de Pinerolo, Ivrea y Aosta y arzobispo metropolitano de Vercelli.

Biografía
Giuseppe Maria Grimaldi nació en Moncalieri, en la región de Piamonte (Italia), el 3 de enero de 1754. Era hijo del noble Filiberto Antonio y de Barbra Vittoria Alciati. Ingresó joven a la Compañía de Jesús, poco antes de ser abolida en 1773. Fue ordenado sacerdote el 24 de enero de 1779 por Carlo Giuseppe Filippa della Martiniana, obispo de Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, y fue nombrado canónigo de la catedral eusebiana el 17 de abril de 1781.

El rey Carlos Manuel IV de Cerdeña nombró a Grimaldi como obispo de Pinerolo el 14 de enero de 1797, fue confirmado en el cargo por el papa Pío VI el 14 de junio siguiente. Fue consagrado obispo el 6 de agosto del mismo año, de manos de Hyacinthe Sigismond Gerdil, cardenal presbítero de Santa Cecilia y prefecto de la Congregación de Propaganda Fide. Tras la supresión de la diócesis (1 de junio de 1803) fue trasladado a la sede de Ivrea unida en su persona a la de Aosta.

Con la reorganización de las jurisdicciones eclesiásticas piemonteses de 1817, el papa Pío VII elevó al rango de arquidiócesis la sede de Vercelli, nombrando, al mismo tiempo, a Grimaldi como su primer arzobispo metropolitano. Murió en Vercelli el 1 de enero de 1830 y fue sepultado en la catedral eusebiana.

by Taileigh Hull and Benjamin Kin, Eagle Rock Students
Last month, the Student Ambassador Program from Eagle Rock School and Professional Development Center collaborated with The Inspiration Project to co-host a virtual "Field Trip" related to "How Eagle Rock learns from and with the natural world."
The Student Ambassador program is a student & educator partnership that undertakes educational initiatives to improve Eagle Rock as well as schools around the country. Continue reading…
Princeton Intern Learns There's No Easing into the Water at Eagle Rock
If I were to best describe my recent introduction to Eagle Rock School and Professional Development Center, the phrase I would use is "Hit the ground running."
That's because only moments after my arrival on campus, several Eagle Rock students invited me to sit down and eat breakfast with them — this before I had even met the Eagle Rock staff member, I'd be reporting to during my summer internship. Two hours later, I was issued a pair of yellow shorts and a T-shirt that proclaimed my membership in Juniper House, one of Eagle Rock's six on-campus residential houses. Then I was rushed off to a day of intramural soccer matches with the staff and students.
The author, Abelardo Cruz (center), with Eagle Rock School students in the cafeteria.
While this whirlwind experience might appear intimidating for someone who had never stepped foot on campus, I've come to realize that diving into the deep end is not only normal, but almost a common occurrence in order for its community members to gain a firm grasp on the school. The fact that new Eagle Rock students are required to complete a 24-day wilderness orientation trip just a week after their arrival here only confirms that theory.
While orientation trips are not all that uncommon among educational institutions, a month in the backcountry seemed Continue reading…
Rock Climbing Embodies the Spirit of Eagle Rock Commitment No. 2
If you've spent any time at all on our campus, you're probably somewhat familiar with our values and in particular, our 8+5=10, values.
Broken down, these values include eight themes that ensure we stay true to Eagle Rock School's essence and mission. The five expectations create the framework that makes up our classes. And the 10 commitments are the values our students strive to internalize and live by.
From among all of these fundamentals, my favorite is Commitment Two, which asks us to develop our minds through intellectual discipline, our bodies through physical fitness, and our spirits through thoughtful contemplation.
To me, rock climbing is the total embodiment of that commitment. Because climbing a vertical wall of outcroppings requires mind, body and spirit to reach the top — and that holds true for even the most worn gym climb.
One of my duties as Eagle Rock School's Public Allies Fellow in Outdoor Education is taking several of our students to the indoor climbing gym at the nearby Estes Park Mountain Shop. Our most dedicated climbers are Continue reading…
Thoughts on Open Air Learning Environments
When I was growing up, my idea of a library was what you might see in an old black and white movie: Sit down, be quiet, and for the sake of everyone around you, don't ask any questions. Fortunately, my college library defied this notion, instead structuring itself in a manner that promotes collaborative learning.
Upon entering the library for the first time I did not see mounds of books and people working quietly — although both of those scenarios played out on higher floors). Instead, I saw clusters of open tables with individuals mingling in small groups, speaking freely, and actively collaborating.
I later learned that the Academic Commons at Goddard Library at Clark University was constructed intentionally to encourage group learning and problem solving, and to facilitate effective communication and information exchange. These are just a few characteristics that are becoming increasingly more valued in today's workplace.
The whole design of the library and the way I was encouraged to learn in that environment offered me an entirely new understanding of knowledge. The Cornell Center For Teaching Excellence says it more beautifully than I can: "Knowledge is a social construct."
From my first day at Eagle Rock the idea that knowledge is a social construct, and should therefore be Continue reading…
For Just a Short While, There Was a Poet Among Us
Oakland, Calif., poet Edgar Kunz has been a familiar face around the Eagle Rock campus the past few months, sparking interest in poetry in the form of readings, presentations and visits to poetry slams.
Kunz is one of 5 first-year Wallace Stegner Fellows in Poetry at Stanford University's Creative Writing Program. His poetry can be found in New England Review, AGNI Literary Magazine, The Missouri Review, Narrative Magazine, and the annual Best New Poets anthology series, among other places. Middlebury Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, the Academy of American Poets, and Vanderbilt University — where Kunz earned his Masters degree in Fine Arts — have all supported his writing over the years.
During his visits here, readings were held for Eagle Rock School students and staff, with the poet reciting selections of his poems that have been published in various literary journals. In a Q&A session following his October visit, Kunz responded to questions about his Continue reading…
Educational Heroes For Eagle Rock Faculty & Staff
We recently asked some of our educators and staff members to come up with a list of people in the field of academia that they believe made a difference in their lives or inspired them to do things differently or better.
Here is a list of a few of those educators:
Theodore R. Sizer: Founder — and later president emeritus — of the Essential school movement, Sizer took on the task of questioning the way students were being taught in the nation's secondary schools. By the late 1970s, he was involved with hundreds of high schools across the country.
What emerged from all of that research was the book Horace's Compromise: The Dilemma of the American High School, his 1984 eloquent call to arms for school reform. Sizer also he founded the Coalition of Essential Schools, which is based on the principles he put forth in his book.
Eagle Rock School is an official Coalition School and our Professional Development Center is not only an Affiliate Center, we are also the national coordinator of CES Centers.
John Goodlad: Written 15 years ago, Goodlad's In Praise of Education described public education as a fundamental right in this country, calling it essential in the development of intelligent thinking within a democracy.
Other writings contributed by this educational theory-maker include The Moral Dimensions of Teaching, Places Where Teachers Are Taught, Teachers for Our Nation's Schools, and Educational Renewal: Better Teachers, Better Schools.
Goodlad was instrumental in promoting educational reform by designing programs and personally diving into research on positive change for schools.
As a point of reference, Eagle Rock was a founding member of his League of Democratic Schools.
Kurt Hahn: This German educator, who is credited with playing a major leadership role in the effort to launch Outward Bound, founded an alliance of international schools called the United World Colleges. In addition, his thinking about school culture led to the creation of the 10 Expeditionary Learning Design Principles.
John Dewey: A pragmatic man — and an important contributor to functional psychology in this country — Dewey was also active in the realm of educational reform. Rather than sitting straight up at a desk in a classroom, Dewey espoused the concept of allowing children to learn while doing. By moving freely in and out of the classroom, his belief was that math, science and problem solving could be Continue reading…

Toby Price is an Australian motorcycle racer best known for his dominant victory in the 2016 Dakar Rally.
He won stages 2,5,6,8, and 9, and finished 40 minutes ahead of his nearest rival. A year earlier he took part in his first Dakar as a support rider and shocked his competitors by winning a stage and finishing on the podium – 3rd overall.
Toby was famous in his native Australia long before he exploded onto the international scene. The toughest off-road race in Australia is the annual Finke Desert Race (pronounced Finn-Key), Price won it in 2010 on his first attempt, he had a mechanical failure at the Finke in 2011, but returned to win in 2012, 2014, and 2015.
This film gives a personal insight into Price's life from childhood to the modern day, with a surprising amount of depth and honesty – including interviews with friends and family and footage of Toby racing as a boy.
If you'd like to keep up to date on Price's racing you can follow him on Facebook here.


Conditions now are clearly weak.
With the unemployment rate stuck at 5.5 per cent in concert with the underemployment rate entrenched above 8 per cent, there is no surprise that annual wages growth is mired near record lows around 2 per cent. Despite these concerning aspects of the labour market, the Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull and Treasurer Scott Morrison are going to frame their election campaign on economic management and jobs.
The jobs numbers are talked up at every opportunity by government ministers, with rare references to the unemployment rate and record low wages growth.
This is a risky strategy for many reasons, not least because the labour market is softening and the track record of the Coalition on the labour market as it approaches its 5 year anniversary in office, is at best problematic.
Since the Coalition was swept to office in September 2013, the unemployment rate has never been below 5.4 per cent. In contrast, in the almost 6 years when the previous Labor government was in office, the unemployment rate was below 5.4 per cent for 48 months. Never once was the underemployment rate above 8 per cent when Labor were in power, where is appears entrenched under the Coalition.
In terms of wages, the annual increase labour price index has been at or below 2.5 per cent since the December quarter 2014. Never once during the previous Labor government did annual wages growth fall below 2.5 per cent and in fact, the average annual increase from the end of 2007 to the end of 2013 was a respectable 3.6 per cent. Little wonder the current wage, unemployment and underemployment dynamics are undermining confidence in the economy and the government.
The recent budget assumes the unemployment rate will not fall below 5 per cent. This is a reflection of poor economic policy as can been seen in the contrast of many other industralised countries which have unemployment rates around 4 to 4.5 per cent and even lower.
Even a 5 per cent unemployment rate will do little to encourage wages growth to recover to 3.5 to 4 per cent, where it should be when the workforce is fully employed. The economic case for some targeted and immediate infrastructure spending, in concert with greater funding for education, skills and training, would seem an essential foundation to get unemployment and underemployment lower over the medium term.
Unlike what we saw in the budget, tax changes that skew greater take home pay to low and middle income earners, which can be revenue neutral if carefully framed, would also see a relatively quick boost to national spending and economic activity and this would help skew the unemployment rate lower.
Company and income tax cuts that are phased in over many years will not help much, if at all, to repair the labour market. Unfortunately, the government thinks the labour market is in good shape and the budget did little to deliver a material reduction in unemployment and higher wages. That is likely to be a political problem as the election draws near.


I've been working through getting my mind and heart around a rather huge paradigm shift--seeing life and ministry more and more like Jesus. One area is that of surrender. Author Francis Chan noted that in much of American Christianity, "surrender" is that lifelong process of slowly deciding whether we will give up certain things for God. Global Christians see "surrender" as a basic requirement to follow Jesus. Network Beyond is privileged to see that and work with some of the most incredible people on the planet. Perhaps more than anything, I'm impressed with the courage they exhibit. Theirs is a high capacity courage that reaches out to those hard to love, caring for people living in dangerous places, with a persistence that doesn't want to quit. We are thankful for your partnership and prayers.

Odobenocetops – rodzaj walenia z grupy zębowców. Jedyny przedstawiciel rodziny Odobenocetopsidae. Żył we wczesnym pliocenie na terenie dzisiejszej Ameryki Południowej. Cechą charakterystyczną przedstawicieli rodzaju były długie kły – u niektórych osobników, których skamieniałości zachowały się w materiale kopalnym, jeden z kłów był dłuższy od drugiego.

Morfologia
Odobenocetops osiągał około 2,1 m długości i ważył 150–650 kg. Szyja była bardzo giętka i umożliwiała obracanie głowy o ponad 90°. W 1999 opisano szczątki odkrytych w Peru trzech osobników Odobenocetops leptodon – jedną z opisanych skamieniałości była czaszka z zachowanymi dwoma kłami. Prawy kieł mierzył około 135 cm długości, podczas gdy lewy – 25 cm. Długi kieł prawdopodobnie znajdował się w pozycji równoległej do tułowia podczas pływania. Czaszka O. peruvianus z dwoma niewielkimi kłami przypisywana jest samicy, co wskazywałoby na występowanie u tych waleni dymorfizmu płciowego. Christian de Muizon, autor pierwszego naukowego opisu Odobenocetops zwraca uwagę na podobieństwo walenia do współczesnego morsa – nazwa Odobenocetops oznacza "waleń o twarzy morsa". Odobenocetops miał niewielki melon, a co się z tym wiąże, zdolność echolokacji, jednak również ograniczone widzenie stereoskopowe.

Klasyfikacja
Odobenocetops jest przedstawicielem monotypowej rodziny Odobenocetopsidae, blisko spokrewnionej z narwalowatymi (Monodontidae), do której należą m.in. narwal i białucha. Zarówno narwalowate, jak i Odobenocetops cechują się bardzo mobilnymi szyjami oraz – w przeciwieństwie do innych waleni – niepołączonymi kręgami.

POP UP SHOP just popped up!
Photo by Erick Doxey
For almost four hours last Friday, the region's finest packed into a gorgeous new storefront on South Lincoln to celebrate a new way for Spokanites to support local artists at Terrain/Window Dressing's brand new POP UP SHOP.
Local DJ crew Twin Towers brought the heat and beer donated from Steam Plant Brewery Co. kept everyone smiling even as things got a little tight inside the grand opening party and hundreds of people packed the space all night browsing, building community and, most importantly, buying a bunch of awesome work from amazing local artists and makers. It was a blast!
If you missed Friday, fear not! Pop Up Shop is open every week!
POP UP SHOP
159 S. Lincoln (Steam Plant Square)
Open every week Wednesday - Saturday 11am - 6pm
The shop features 20 local artisans, many who have gone through the Creative Enterprise Program and others who are alumni of Bazaar or Terrain. The Pop Up Shop is another way that Terrain and our Window Dressing Program supports local artists and artisans on their business journey.
What could be better than locally made products? NOTHING! Except for the fact that proceeds from the shop support the featured artists and help Terrain sustain its mission of supporting artists and artisans across the Inland Northwest through our events and programs! What could be better than that? NOTHING (for real this time)!
Check out the photos below then scroll down to read about all the lovely makers that are featured in the store. We won't blame you for making a shopping list!
Check out this list of AMAZING local makers featured in the Shop:
Kani Botanicals: Kani is a labor of love from Stephanie Guerra. She was inspired to create a vegan cruelty-free beauty movement that celebrates real girls, in real life. Kani is about creating awesome products that are safe, non-toxic, organic and highly effective for effortlessly gorgeous skin that emphasizes your unique beauty. Each product is created with special consideration for sensitive skin and in keeping with understandable ingredients and compositions. We see our products as food for the face and body, so they should be as discriminating as the food we eat. Our low-volume batches are handmade with lots of love here in Spokane, Washington.
Jensen Handcrafted: I've always been drawn to handmade quality goods and such items have always piqued my interest for as long as I can remember. There is just something special about an item made by hand. For the maker, it is an investment of both time and talent. I watched my Uncle and Grandfather, hardworking, humble and incredibly talented men, and learned a great deal from both. Jensen Handcrafted was born out of both desire and urgency. A desire to provide for my family and a bit of urgency to do so. Our youngest was diagnosed with Leukemia at 2-1/2 years old. Thank God, after nearly 3 years of treatment, she is a thriving young lady.
Black Sheep Paper Co.: Black Sheep Paper Co. is a line of paper goods & things, full of quirky hand-lettering illustrations & designs. The line was created by Amanda Johnson & Brittany Stodgell in 2014 while sipping copious cups of coffee and sharing an unfathomable amount of laughs. Brittany and Amanda strongly believe in the art of making other happy and sharing life's moments through a personal handwritten note, card, or gift. They're delighted to help others spread joy and laughter with Blacksheep Paper Co.
Mimosa Floral Design: Mimosa Floral Design is a studio florist based in Spokane, Washington. Operated by Erica Williamson, Certified Floral Designer, her love of flowers encourages her to utilize local flora and create beautiful bouquets and installations. Mimosa specializes in weddings, events, and flower subscriptions. Our inspiration comes from the seasons and their fleeting beauty, while our floral designs are wild, lively and full of texture.
Sarita Star Designs: Specializing in handcrafted artisan leather goods. Sarita draws on her experience growing up in the American Southwest to inspire designs that reflect both modern and classic lines. Her interests and designs have changed over time, but her passion for leatherwork has currently taken hold as the primary means of expression. Sarita now calls Spokane, Washington home, residing on a small farm with her three young children.
Staggs & Staggs Sign Co. & Lexi Lou Jewels: Staggs & Staggs is a husband and wife duo (with the occasional assistance from our 5 year old). Eric, a full-time firefighter and part-time boat builder, and Alycia, our in-house design goddess and the proprietor of Lexi Lou Jewels. With a focus on local and American made, we work very hard to identify products domestically sourced. As often as possible, we also like to locate post-consumer, salvaged, or found items for our projects.
Destroy Susan: Destroy Susan is Susan Webber. She likes to paint, draw, sculpt, sew, screen print, etch, carve, and doodle. That is, when she has time for it. A single mom of 3, full time IBCLC for WIC, art curator for a local restaurant, and teacher of art therapy classes, she keeps life full and interesting. Her work is inspired by the people around her, an equal love of finding beauty in darkness, and being a woman. She was born in Korea, but has been a nearly life-long resident of Spokane and proud of it.
Burgleteens: Local artist Zach Grassi has no shortage of creative talent and imagination. One minute he is designing his own coloring book and the other he is making plush monsters on the sewing machine. His output of curious oddities and imaginative knick-knacks seems fueled by an upbringing of saturday morning cartoons with a twist of anime. His amazingly captivating lightboxes have been gaining in popularity and every single one is like a window into a different daydream.
Faraway Lovely: My love for art and handmade goods runs deep in my bones. I don't remember a time when I wasn't drawing, building, or dreaming up new ideas. Creating has always been my outlet, it's something I can get lost in. From start to finish, I put my heart and soul into every handmade piece and I take pride in knowing that my work will stand the test of time and hold true to the timelessness of each piece. To this day I still push myself to learn more and strive to better my products and expand into new forms of art. Faraway Lovely is a collection of art and handmade goods and our goal is to create beautiful, well-made goods that inspire people to do the same.
KJ Pottery: KJ Pottery is a small, Spokane-based, one-woman operation, owned and operated by Kelsey Jo Johnson. Kelsey makes hand crafted ceramics, primarily food-focused functional wares. KJP was birthed from Kelsey's love for the craft, her desire to create wares that are simple, usable, and ultimately that bring people together. Ceramics and clay are elements that were born from the physical necessity to eat and drink off of clean and durable wares. This physical necessity and human experience is still true today. Kelsey's motivation behind her wares is the idea that what our body necessitates our soul celebrates. Thus simplicity and functionality is the intent behind each piece. KJP specializes in custom dinnerware sets and wholesale wares for restaurants and coffee shops
Lightning Deluxe: Lightning Deluxe is an illustration studio and independent apparel brand by Dr. Jon Deviny. Lightning DLX is all about creating quality goods that bring a little bit of awesome to your life. Jon finds inspiration in nature, 80's/90's pop culture, cheeky puns and general badassery.

Little Braap Racer: Little Braap Racer was launched in January 2016 as the hobby project of @kaarins, an Eastern Washington native whom has called Spokane home for the past five years. The designs are inspired from a variety of personal interests, and the name and small moto niche were suggestions from the exhaust of her '75 Honda motorcycle itself. Kaarin believes everyone's pin game should be strong, and aspires to see a world where no hat nor jacket should live without an extra touch of flair. She's glad to have you along for the rideenamel. She has a manufacturer that helps with this process.
West Jewelry: West Jewelry is a brand made to inspire and enhance your personal style. It is a line of fine handcrafted earrings, bracelets and necklaces. The collection is composed of both statement and everyday pieces that become an effortless addition to your wardrobe. Many pieces in the West Jewelry line are made of natural stones.

Designing jewelry has allowed her a new creative outlet, as well as an opportunity to be a part of the growing art scene in Spokane WA.
Hustle & Hide Co.: Hustle & Hide was birthed in 2015 by Teddi and Tyler Cripps on the simple truth that there is profound beauty in the connection between maker and consumer. Living with intention. Purchasing responsibly. Continuously striving to perfect a craft. This is what we're all about. And, well, creating simple, beautiful leather goods in the process. We long to bring this maker/consumer connection back full-circle. Our main intention in doing so is to create goods that can withstand the test of time, and design with a sense of timelessness and longevity, while still speaking to ones individuality and unique style.

Sailor Girl Soaps: Lori SiJohn lost her husband in December 2012. Her late husband Cliff, a Vietnam Veteran, suffered from an early and rapid onset of diabetes due to his exposure to Agent Orange.

Q: Why Aren't Streamlit and Playwright Playing Nicely Together (Solving NotImplementedError)? I'm trying to use Playwright with streamlit on Windows using Python, and I keep getting a NotImplementedError.   Here's a simple Streamlit app, using the hello-world example from playwright's Python documentation:

I did some googling and couldn't find anything.  Any thoughts on how to diagnose what's going wrong and how to fix it?

The flooring in your home is one of the most important features that determines the quality and design of the setting. When it's time to replace or upgrade the material, you'll need to find a qualified contractor who can perform floor installation. Carlsbad homeowners who want to hire the right person need to ask a few essential questions in advance.
The amount of experience the contractor has in the industry will most likely determine how satisfied you are with the work he or she performs. Ask how long the contractor has been in business to make sure he or she isn't new to installing floors and can handle the job with ease. The individual should have a business that has been operating for several years and should have performed similar projects in the past.
What Does the Cleanup Process Include?
A mess will likely be made with any type of floor installation project, making it necessary to ask about how the contractor will clean the space. The contractor should provide information on the cleanup process to ensure you don't have to remove the debris and clean up the area after the project is completed.

Q: How can I distribute integer array elements periodically [See image for example] It's a slot machine game. We already know the number of different outputs. But it needs to work on any kind of variations of that table, obviously.
So far, I have tried several naive approaches:

*

*Dumping all results in an array and try to distribute them by moving along the array.

*Tried to insert elements one by one, finding an empty and 'periodic' slot for each element.

Output Table Image
Examples Image
I use indexes of rows data to create and distribute array elements periodically.
(eg: first row corresponds to value 0, second row corresponds to value 1 and so on..)
So my output array will consist elements from 0 to 10 and the size will be 100 for provided table.
EDIT: I have deleted the old code because I come up with an actual solution. Unfortunately I'm not sure if it is the correct/optimum way and has no idea how to check it.
Here is my code: https://goonlinetools.com/snapshot/code/#ng5xi35uewbrgc40avciud
Here are the sample result
Can someone maybe check my code and verify that I have the correct result?

A: So, you want a pool where each possibility happens a fixed amount of times, before refilling the pool.
What you can do is make an array of integers, each index corresponding to the result, and each value being the probability.
Then, you create an integer that stores the sum of all probabilities.
When you want an item, create a number between 1 and the sum of probabilities (inclusive). Go down the array, subtracting the probability from the random number. When it is <= 0, that is your random choice.
To remove from the pool, subtract 1 from the chance of what you landed on, and 1 from the sum. When the sum is zero, that means the pool is empty and can be refilled. Here is an example in c#:
class RandomPool {
    private int[] chances;
    public int Total {get; private set;} // total pooled items
    public readonly int Length;
    public int this[int i] {
        get => chances[i]; // get the chance at an index
        set {
            Total += value - chances[i]; // updates the total
            chances[i] = i; // sets the chance at an index
        }
    }
    public RandomPool(int length) {
        chances = new int[length];
        Length = length;
    }
    public int Get() {
        // creates a random number 1-total
        int rand = Random.Range(1, total + 1);
        int i = 0;
        // loops through the chances
        while (true) {
            // decreases the random value by the change
            rand -= chances[i];
            // if it is <= 0
            if (rand <= 0)
                return i; // return the index of the chosen item
            i++;
        }
    }

Then you can use it like this:
var pool = new RandomPool(3); // create the pool
pool[0] = 5; // assign the chances
pool[1] = 2;
pool[3] = 3;
while (pool.Total > 0) { // while there is something in the pool
    int x = pool.Get(); // get an item
    Console.WriteLine($"Randomly chose index: {p}"); // log the result
    pool[x]--; // remove one from the pool
}

When pool.Total == 0 you can refill the pool. Also, I haven't tested this code, so there might be a few errors.

A: Here is a way to get this.  I will start with the inspiration, and then add how to do it efficiently.
Imagine you have a series of alarm clocks in front of you.  5 of them go off 13x per day.  The rest go off 9, 8, 7, 6, and 5 times per day.  (I chose this example to match your output table image.)  Each starts a random point between when it last went off and when it next goes off.
The answer you want is the order in which they go off.  This order is periodic - it repeats every day.  They also go off in exactly the right proportions every day.  But the random start makes them go off randomly.
Now how do we figure this out efficiently?  The idea is to use a PriorityQueue to track when each alarm clock goes off.  So we'll want something like a Record(double priority, String result, double weight) to put into our queue.  Our result field will be your string description, the weight will be your 13 or whatever, and using Random you'll start priority at rand.nextDouble() / weight.  The priority queue will compare based on priority.
And now the heart of the loop where you you populate your array will be:
QueueItem qi = queue.poll();
answer.add(qi.result);
queue.offer(QueueItem(qi.priority + 1/qi.weight, qi.result, qi.weight);

This makes each array item take time O(log(queue.size())) to produce. And you see that every qi.weight times qi.result comes up, the priority increases by 1.  (So it is periodic.)

Advertising means getting in touch with customers. With the right contacts, companies can send out the latest newsletters and promotional leaflets in order to spread the word of their new products and services. The database of contact information possesses all the contact information necessary for advertising. Time is extremely important in business; there is no time to lose when there are many rival companies in the market also vying for the attention and interest of customers and prospects. Companies should not wait for their products and services to get notice and they should start advertising to the right niche of contacts in order to gain attention and recognition. Being proactive means that companies need to expand their walls and that they should start looking for customers instead of waiting out on them. Having a vast database of contacts ensures that companies that they will not falter very easily.
Possessing the right contact information holds the highest probability of interest when it comes to making business transactions. Having no time to lose, the database can truly help companies attain their goals with the quickest route to it. Furthermore, companies can also save up on valuable resources such as intangible ones like time and effort. The basis on why is it that companies no longer need to spend a lot of time looking for leads is that it has already been done by the database.
However, the market is indeed very vast world to venture. This is why database for business leads have the feature of targeting the specific contacts amidst thousands for companies. These databases have already pinpointed their interest and all the company needs to do is to send out their mails to them and wait for their responses. These leads add up to the database of companies. More contacts means more possible profit.
There are also providers for business lists that can give companies the right business list for their marketing endeavors. These lists are ensured with updates so that companies do not meet a dead end in advertising. It would be a great waste if companies are advertising to an unresponsive contact.

Sad News out of Iraq
bodies found
Those in the central Illinois can relate to this news that was on CNN about two bodies being found in Iraq. The soldiers wee kidnapped last year. The DOD has yet to confirm but a 10th Mountain Division spokesperson said bodies were found and the family said the son was located. From the story:
Black ribbons of mourning replaced the yellow ribbons of hope around the Jimenez home Thursday afternoon.
A POW/MIA flag that had been hanging from the home for more than a year was also immediately replaced by an American flag.
Here in central Illinois, we went through a similar event with Keith "Matt" Maupin. I remember covering that story. It was on a Sunday night and I called several in the 724th TRANS Co., Matt's unit. They were shocked and saddened. Some expected the outcome; others were devestated as they couldn't believe it. So keep these families in your thoughts. The soldiers are:
Sgt. Alex R. Jimenez, 25, Lawrence, Mass.
Pvt. Byron W. Fouty, 19, of Waterford, Mich.

Evaluating blood flow is key to early diagnosis and treatment for people with critical limb ischemia
Categories: Scientific Conferences & Meetings
American Heart Association Scientific Statement
Statement Highlights:
The strengths and limitations of non-invasive and other imaging techniques used to diagnose critical limb ischemia are reviewed in a new statement from the American Heart Association.
Sex and ethnic disparities exist in the diagnosis and treatment of critical limb ischemia.
Embargoed until 4 a.m. CT / 5 a.m. ET, Monday, August 12, 2019
DALLAS, August 12, 2019 — Non-invasive techniques and devices for assessing blood flow and other diagnostic considerations for people with critical limb ischemia are addressed in a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association, published in the Association's flagship journal Circulation.
The statement provides perspective on the strengths and limitations of current imaging techniques, including the ankle-brachial index, toe brachial index, toe systolic pressure, transcutaneous oximetry (TcPO2) and skin perfusion pressure (SPP). It also examines tools such as the laser Doppler, speckle imaging devices and others, as well as identifying opportunities for technology improvement and reducing disparities in detection and treatment.
The authors noted sex and ethnic differences in how critical limb ischemia is diagnosed, coexisting conditions and disparities in treatment. Women are more likely to experience emergency hospitalization, have differences in blood flow, and higher disability and death rates.
Black and Hispanic patients with critical limb ischemia are more likely to have diabetes and chronic kidney disease and are more likely to develop gangrene. White patients are more likely to have ulcers and pain in their legs while at rest. Black patients are also 78% more likely to receive lower extremity amputation for critical limb ischemia compared to their white peers, even after adjustment for socioeconomic status, access to facilities with revascularization services and other factors.
Critical limb ischemia is the most severe form of peripheral artery disease (PAD), which affects an estimated 12 million Americans. It occurs when the arteries leading to the legs become narrowed or blocked. The condition can lead to gangrene, wounds that don't heal and amputations if blood flow is not returned to the limbs.
Despite the high prevalence of critical limb ischemia, strategies to assess blod flow remain limited. New technologies offer potential opportunities to improve the precision and quality of criticail limb ischemia management, with the goal of earlier detection and treatment to reduce amputations and disability as well as improving the quality of life for patients.

Can't anyone grow an Avocado from seed any more?
Larger tree seeds like acorns, chestnuts, and conkers work well. Smaller bulbs such as crocus, snowdrop or muscari are also very easy to grow.... Learning on how to sprout an avocado seed is important if you want to have your own avocado tree at home. The fruit has been very popular because of the different dishes where you can add it.
After roots have formed a small stem will sprout out of the top of the seed. It will grow tall and thin and eventually unfold small leaves. When the roots and leaves are well formed, it is time to set the plant in soil. Get a small pot, and plant it with lots of soil. Keep the soil moist and in room temperature and soon you'll see a leafy plant develop!
If it doesn't sprout within 2 to 3 months, discard the original avocado and begin another. The roots are usually the first to emerge from the seed. The stem appears later. Pot the seedling when the root system has become well developed; the roots should be at least 2 to 3 inches long.
17/12/2009 · For the past 4 or 5 years I have been trying to grow an Avocado tree from seeds of avocados that I buy in the grocery store. None have sprouted.
While a bit slower than sprouting in water, this method provides the soil the plant needs to grow beyond just a few inches in a glass container. If planted and properly cared for, an avocado seed will germinate.

Q: Delete older firebase data I want to delete data older than 2 hours. I tried another SO answer but it did not solve my problem.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/32012520/2872091
Now, let me show my code and firebase structure
Firebase Structure:

Index.js:
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
exports.deleteOldItems = functions.database.ref('Room/English/{pushId}')
.onWrite(event => {

  var ref = event.data.ref.parent; // reference to the items
  var now = Date.now();
  var cutoff = now - 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
  var oldItemsQuery = ref.orderByChild('time').endAt(cutoff);
  return oldItemsQuery.once('value', function(snapshot) {
    // create a map with all children that need to be removed
    var updates = {};
    snapshot.forEach(function(child) {
      updates[child.key] = null
    });
    // execute all updates in one go and return the result to end the function
    return ref.update(updates);

  });
});

Then, I deployed this js file to my firebase.
firebase deploy --only functions

It is deployed successfully, terminal said "Deploy complete!". And I can see deleteOldItems function in Firebase functions.
As a result, my structure and code is like this. And nothing changed when a new data is added to Room/English node. Data (older than 2 hours) in this node is not deleted. How can I solve the problem? What is my mistake?

A: exports.deleteOldItems = functions.database.ref('/path/to/items/{pushId}')
.onWrite(event => {
  var ref = event.data.ref.parent; // reference to the items
  var now = Date.now();
  var cutoff = now - 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
  var oldItemsQuery = ref.orderByChild('timestamp').endAt(cutoff);
  return oldItemsQuery.once('value', function(snapshot) {
    // create a map with all children that need to be removed
    var updates = {};
    snapshot.forEach(function(child) {
      updates[child.key] = null
    });
    // execute all updates in one go and return the result to end the function

Stunned: Leicester Tigers look on as London Irish celebrate a shock win in the Aviva Premiership
TAGS: Leicester TigersOspreysRichie McCaw
Slipping giants
It was reported last week that global tiger populations have stabilised. This will come as little consolation to the people of Leicester, as their Tigers are in a really bad way. Leicester Tigers, once giants of European rugby, have had a desperately disappointing start to the Aviva Premiership.
They currently sit tenth in the table with a points difference of minus 42. In truth, losing three from five matches this early in the season isn't that disastrous – but the nature of the defeats are. The 45-0 loss to Bath was an undoubted eye opener for Richard Cockerill and in fact such was the severity of the loss that it would have felt more like an eye-gouge. The performance against Gloucester was equally alarming. Leicester's wide channel defence was so badly organised that it was 'jumbled' after just three phases, setting up simple overlaps on the wing. But Leicester aren't the only European giants struggling. So too are Toulouse who lie 11th in the Top 14. The overwhelming popularity of football means that the demise of former European gods Manchester United receive the headlines, but Leicester and Toulouse's desperate early showings are equally noteworthy.
Ospreys prove a point
The Ospreys proved a huge point in the opening weeks of the Guinness Pro12 – 22 points in fact. They are a point off top and have swept all teams and pre-season criticism aside. This summer's sceptism over the Ospreys' potential seems way off the mark, although initially understandable. Losing a spine of Adam Jones, Richard Hibbard, Ian Evans and Ryan Jones seemed like a major problem but this now seems not to be the case. The enormously promising Nicky Smith and increasingly impressive Scott Baldwin have performed well in the front row. The low key but highly successful acquisition of Josh Matavesi has given the Ospreys a No 12 who can genuinely hit the line and tie in the opposition's back row forwards from phase play.
Dan Evans has been faultless at fullback and Jeff Hassler is continuing to run lines last witnessed by kamikazes during the Second World War. But the biggest praise must be reserved for Dan Biggar, Rhys Webb and Alun-Wyn Jones. All are playing at the peak of their game in every aspect. Well done the Ospreys.
The definitive No 7: Richie McCaw trudges off during his 134th All Blacks game
McCaw is the benchmark
The final round of The Rugby Championship saw Richie McCaw play his 134th game of test rugby. A truly remarkable number. In a modern game where 50 cap milestones can be achieved in under five years of test rugby, McCaw's career raises the bar in what is expected from a genuine great of the game, particularly when you consider the position that he plays. The collisions endured by modern sevens, particularly with rugby's recent penchant for flying, armless ruck clear-outs, are genuinely astonishing. Of course, this isn't to denigrate the achievements of the other great test centurions such as Brian O'Driscoll, George Gregan and Ronan O'Gara et al; but achieving 130 plus caps in the backline is an easier task.
McCaw is the only openside in the world's top ten most capped players. But by far the most staggering aspect of McCaw's haul is the team in which they were earned. The All Blacks are the SAS of rugby – the best of the best. This is a country that only deemed the talent of Xavier Rush, Ben Blair and Casey Laulala worthy of 14 caps between them. In reality, earning one cap for the All Blacks is almost worth one and a half caps for any other nation. Not sure we'll ever witness another McCaw and he still has at least 12 months to go.
The high ball is the new scrum
The rugby world loves a grey area. The game's law book looks like the research centre at Just for Men.
No sooner has the scrum become a more stable aspect of the game, albeit not perfect, then a new area of confusion emerges. The challenge for high balls has become a contentious issue recently, with a series of high profile decisions seemingly refereed in very different ways. It is of course a very serious issue. Having two players hurtling towards each other, with their eyes trained on the ball, then flying into the air like two testosterone fuelled buzzards is chaotic at best. With neither player anchored to the ground any force is likely to tip one or both players over.
It is easy to see why the mid-air challenge is receiving so much attention from referees. The resulting player safety issues are exactly the same as a tip tackle or 'playing' a lineout jumper in the air. This new focus is also altering the way in which this area of the game is coached. Some coaches are encouraging players to stay down after a mid-air challenge so that the resulting break in play 'encourages' the referee to consult the TMO and look for an infringement. Let's hope the high-take doesn't become rugby's new low.
Rattling Clermont: Bordeaux's Metuisela Talebula attacks the giants
Success doesn't require superstars
The opening month of the season has shown that you don't necessarily need a tonne of gold dust to succeed – sometimes a few kilos of granite will do. There was a magical moment during September when both Exeter Chiefs and Connacht topped their relevant leagues. Yes, Connacht have Mils Muliana, and Exeter have Jack Nowell but the core of their teams are just plain old hardworking pros.
The same can be said of Bordeaux Begles who currently lie fourth in the Top 14. This season they are playing sublime rugby, with a genuine commitment to total rugby where all 15 can handle the ball at pace. Okay, Bordeaux aren't exactly scraping around in the gutter for Euros but their squad is nowhere near the standard of some of teams in that league. Yet this team shredded Clermont Auvergne in the latest round of Top 14 games by 51 -21, scoring six tries. It's heartening to see.
