A look at what you can recycle and where in Coshocton County
Tammi Rogers discusses upgrades to the county litter prevention and recycling program
Leonard L. Hayhurst
Coschocton Tribune
Tammi Rogers is the program manager and education specialist for the Coshocton County Recycling and Litter Prevention Program
The program has 15 drop-off sites for materials across Coshocton County
New bins will be at the sites by end of summer to be picked up by a new packer truck
Recycling is up by 3,000 pounds a month over last year due to greater program marketing
COSHOCTON – Changes in recycling trailers and trucks will make the Coshocton County Recycling and Litter Prevention Program more efficient by the end of the summer.
Tammi Rogers, program manager and education specialist, said they are implementing new recycling bins and a packer truck similar to a garbage truck through grant funding from the Coshocton-Franklin-Licking-Perry Solid Waste District.
This will allow driver Tim Beck to collect from more sites in a given day and take it to Kimble Recycling and Disposal in Dover. Now, Beck has to hook up a trailer, drive it to the center, unload the trailer by hand and then take the trailer back, meaning he can only hit two to four locations in a day. The new system will allow him to do six to seven sites a day.
All items can go into the bin, where now people have to put items into different compartments of the trailers. The exception will be clean cardboard, which will have a separate container as that can draw more money if not contaminated, Rogers said.
Streamlining litter collection will be a benefit as recycling is up in Coshocton County. Rogers said for 2018 recycling is up by about 3,000 pounds a month over this time last year.
"I hope it's from people wanting to recycle more and me trying to get to the radio, to the newspapers and getting the word out," Rogers said. "There's at least three to four days in a business week where I get a phone call or an email that a (trailer) is full."
Rogers has been with the program about nine months and was previously the agriculture and natural resources program assistant at the Ohio State University Extension Office of Coshocton County. She said she knew a bit about recycling in that post, but wanted to learn more and switch gears.
"It's still environmental in nature, but I wanted to learn a different aspect of it and see where I could take this position," she said. "My position entails education, which is another reason this job appealed to me. I did a lot of that with my last job."
The basic mission of the office is to comply with recycling and litter prevention guidelines set forth by the solid waste district. This includes making sure at least 90 percent of the population has access to recycling in some way. For Coshocton, that's 12 drop off locations out in the county and other sites at the Coshocton County Engineer's Office, Coshocton County Career Center and River View High School.
Beck and Rogers are full-time employees with part-time employee Mike Carroll doing litter and tire cleanup of illegal dump sites. Salaries and operations are funded through annual education and outreach and recycling grants through the solid waste district, which this year is also allowing for truck and container upgrades. Funding of the grants come from landfill fees. Rogers said Coshocton County Commissioners provide her with an office, phone and internet, but does not put any county funding directly into the program.
Rogers' first goal in her job was to educate the public on where the drop-off sites were in the county. She now wants to do more in letting people know what the program accepts, which she said is a frequently asked question. People also don't know what to do with various items if they are moving or cleaning out the home of a deceased loved one. For example, what to do with unwanted books or used paint.
"There's not a dumb question," she said. "Some of it I know and some of it I have to research. It's pointing people in the right direction and connecting them with the right resources."
Some say it takes more time and energy to recycle something than to just simply throw it away. But, when people say that, Rogers asks where 'away' is. It might be easier to throw everything in a bag and let someone else worry about it, she said, but you have to think big picture.
"At some point, we're going to run out of 'away,'" she said of landfills. "If you can use something again, why wouldn't you. If you can make your trash less by recycling, by composting food waste, why not?"

Marine bacteria produce molecule with links to climate
DTP student Ana Bermejo Martinez and fellow scientists from the University of East Anglia and Ocean University China have discovered that tiny marine bacteria can synthesise one of the Earth's most abundant sulfur molecules, which affects atmospheric chemistry and potentially climate.
This molecule, dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is an important nutrient for marine microorganisms and is the major precursor for the climate-cooling gas, dimethyl sulfide (DMS).
DMS, produced when microorganisms break down DMSP, is thought to have a role in regulating the climate by increasing cloud droplets that in turn reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the ocean's surface. These same clouds are vital in the movement of large amounts of sulfur from oceans to land, making the production of DMSP and DMS a critical step in the global sulfur cycle.
It was previously widely thought that only eukaryotes – 'higher' organisms with complex cells, such as seaweeds and phytoplankton – produced DMSP. However, researchers have discovered that many marine bacteria also produce this sulfur compound, and have identified the key gene in the process.
"Our finding that DMSP is produced by many marine bacteria could mean that scientists have been significantly underestimating both the production of this molecule and the effects it is having in the environment" said Dr Jonathan Todd from UEA's School of Biological Sciences. "Since these bacteria do not require sunlight for growth, the production of DMSP need not be confined to the surface ocean waters which receive the most light energy, as was thought to be the case."
Dr Andrew Curson from UEA's School of Biological Sciences said: "The identification of the key gene for DMSP synthesis in these bacteria will allow scientists to predict which bacteria are producing DMSP and assess their contribution to global production of this environmentally important molecule."
Ana Bermejo Martinez, a BBSRC-funded DTP PhD student involved in this research, said: "Using DMSP-producing marine bacteria as model organisms will also help us to understand how and why the synthesis of this key molecule is regulated in different environments."
Dr Zhang from OUC's College of Marine Life Sciences said: "These bacteria, isolated during a research cruise in the East China Sea, have led to a ground-breaking discovery in the field. This work shows that marine bacteria are likely very important contributors to global DMSP and DMS production."
This work was carried out as part of a collaboration between the University of East Anglia, and Ocean University China and work at UEA was funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council.
The paper 'Dimethylsulfoniopropionate biosynthesis in marine bacteria and identification of the key gene in this process' is published in the scientific journal Nature Microbiology.

'Make yourself lean forwards, it's the only way'!
A pair of skis and poles, one body, and one slippery slope covered in snow do not necessarily combine well – not initially anyway! However, with t he help of an instructor and a willingness to trust, listen and emulate, gradual progress may be made! Self control doesn't come naturally – especially when sitting back seems safer or easier!
The expression self control usually conjures up a very restrictive, even kill-joy image. DON'T, CAN'T, SHOULDN'T … yet as followers of Jesus perhaps we should take a step away from the simple do's and don'ts to look at the real issue – learning to please the Lord in the way that we live, allowing the Holy Spirit to really live in us.
As 'learners of Christ' (disciples) our lifestyle should be changing day by day, in response to Jesus' teaching. Part of the expression of our love for God is in allowing His Holy Spirit to make us more like Jesus.
How have I changed for the better since beginning to follow Jesus?
Are my patterns of behaviour determined by today's standards and peoples expectations – OR by what Jesus teaches?
Am I struggling to please the Lord in any specific area or relationship?
What aspects of my character do I need God's Spirit to work on the most?
If a group of girls are negative about following Jesus because where seem to be too many 'do's and 'don'ts' involved how would you help them look at the issue of pleasing God?
Could you share openly with them about how the Holy Spirit has been changing you, or how you deal with areas of difficulty in self control?
Read Gal 5: 16-27 and look beyond the 'restrictions', toward learning to please God through letting the Holy Spirit take control of your thoughts, attitudes and actions.
Lord Jesus, even when it is difficult to let go of my own desires, and follow your will only, please help me to be open to you. Thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit. Thank you that as I allow His power to work in my life I can become more like you!

Michael Phelps to race a great white during 'Shark Week'
By Des Bieler
The Washington Post |
Jun 16, 2017 | 7:31 AM
Just when you though it was safe to go back in the water without winding up in a race with Michael Phelps, the Olympic hero is set to test his mettle once again. This time, though, Phelps will be putting his aquatic prowess up against his most dangerous opponent yet: a great white shark.
Hey, he has nothing left to prove against mere humans, right? But now in retirement, Phelps does need to parlay his legendary athletic career into high-profile gigs of various sorts, and so it is that he will star in this year's installment of Discovery's "Shark Week."
Here is the breathless blurb about the cable channel's "Great Gold vs. Great White" event, from Thursday's news release regarding its popular annual shark-stravaganza, set to air in late July:
"They are one of the fastest and most efficient predators on the planet: Sharks. He is our greatest champion to ever get in the water: Michael Phelps. 39 world records. 23 Olympic golds.
"But he has one competition left to win. An event so monumental no one has ever attempted it before. The world's most decorated athlete takes on the ocean's most efficient predator: Phelps V Shark - the race is on!"

It's not clear exactly how Phelps, who turns 32 later this month, will be racing the great white. For instance, will it be a freestyle race, or maybe butterfly stroke? In any event, here's hoping there's more separating Phelps from his foe than just some floating lane markers. Phelps recently provided a possible preview of what to expect, when he posted a photo showing a great white passing ominously by a diving cage. "I was able to do something that I had always wanted to do," Phelps said.
If that weren't enough excitement, Phelps will also learn "how to stay calm when a hammerhead swims two feet above his face," according to Discovery. That's part of an educational excursion with the Bimini Shark Lab, whose staffers "dispel the myths and common misconceptions" about the predatory fish, which apparently didn't include all the ways that racing them tends to be a losing proposition.

Constant innovation is a characteristic of many successful growing companies. Staying ahead of the competition requires inventiveness at individual, group, and company levels. As companies grow, market demands and competition can force them to maintain a culture of continuous innovation. Growth, however, also creates a need for structure and control, which can make a culture of innovation difficult to sustain.
Sustainable growth requires increased operational scale, but companies cannot scale their operations effectively without implementing formal structures and processes. Growth can strain the entrepreneurial philosophy that has fuelled a company's success. More importantly, it can erode corporate flexibility. As management layers increase, they create islands of data, knowledge, and intelligence that can complicate a company's decision-making processes.
Developing new ideas is a risk-intensive process that requires significant resources. As companies grow, their risk profile must become more conservative as shareholders expect them to stabilise operations and manage their business according to financial criteria.
As companies grow, they require people who can guide them through each stage of their organisational development. However, companies also have to evolve to meet changing internal and external priorities. As a result, a company's corporate culture is pulled between two ways: established employees who are used to a stable and familiar environment, and newer employees who have a different mindset, a higher tolerance for risk, and place less value on organisational structure. Left unchecked, this dichotomy can cause a company's culture to be dictated by employee self-interest rather than corporate objectives.
Sustaining an innovative culture requires companies to create environments where creative thinking is central to corporate values, actions, and assumptions. Innovative companies require employees who seek new opportunities, accept risk, collaborate well with others, and commit themselves to the organisation. Innovative companies also require leaders that will work to create those kinds of environments and will guide and promote innovative behaviour.
Companies need to assess the role of innovation within their organisations, make the necessary adjustments to their goals and their corporate culture, and redefine the responsibilities of their leaders.
By creating an environment that empowers employees, companies will promote the collaboration required to generate and implement new ideas.
Companies must create teams to guide them through periods of change, manage their employees' anxieties, and set small milestones to be used to gauge enthusiasm.
How do you know if you have the right foundation? A comprehensive assessment can be carried out using our Innovation Toolkit, however why not take this simple test to assess the state of your company?
Answer the following questions with a YES, NO or SORT OF.
Do you have the required foundation?
generation and cost savings within your company?
2. Is innovation pervasive across the company, or is it isolated to specific groups?
3. Do your employees understand how innovation relates to the corporate vision and goals?
4. Have you created a set of core values, beliefs, and norms in order to guide the development of your corporate culture?
5. Have you redefined the roles of your company leaders to encourage and champion creative activities?
Do your operations foster innovation?
6. Does your workforce consist of people who have the ability to approach problems in an unconventional manner?
7. When hiring new employees, do you look for people who are willing to challenge the status quo and pursue new trends and directions?
8. Do you involve employees in the hiring process?
9. Do you have programs and activities that allow for meaningful interaction between new and existing employees?
10. Do you encourage your employees to be divergent thinkers and ensure that they have the right information and resources to follow through on their ideas?
11. Have you assessed your company's organizational structure to identify and remove decision-making bottlenecks?
12. Is there a high degree of trust and open communication between various groups in your company?
13. Do you balance empowerment with accountability by creating a set of metrics for your employees to work toward?
14. Do your employees feel secure enough to believe that should their ideas fail to realize the desired result it will not affect their position within the company?
15. Does your company have a reward system that fosters behaviour that contributes to innovation?
16. Do you have a team of dedicated individuals, composed of representative employees, that lead and champion the changes required to sustain innovation?
17. Does this team monitor the activities of the company and ensure that there are no inconsistencies in the practices expected and performed?
18. Does this team use dialogue and consensus-building to garner support for the changes at the departmental level?
19. Do you manage the expectations and anxieties of your employees by communicating why change is important, involving employees in the implementation process, and providing the time and opportunity to disengage from the status quo?
20. Do you articulate clear short-term goals and objectives, measure progress, and communicate evidence of success to maintain the momentum and enthusiasm of your employees as changes are implemented?
If more than 75 percent of your answers (16 of 20) are "Yes," then your company is likely to be adequately addressing the challenge of fostering an innovative culture.
If 50 to 75 percent of your answers (10 to 15) are "Yes" or "Sort Of," there is more work to be done in order to foster an innovative culture.
If less than 50 percent of your answers are either "Yes" or "Sort Of," your company seriously needs to re-evaluate its approach towards fostering an innovative culture.

A major role of senior management is to motivate people to reach certain goals. To do that, they must engage their emotions, and the key to their hearts is story. There are two ways to persuade people. The first is by using conventional rhetoric, which is what most executives are trained in. It's an intellectual process, and in the business world it usually consists of a PowerPoint slide presentation in which you say, "Here is our company's biggest challenge, and here is what we need to do to get ahead." And you build your case by giving statistics, facts and quotes. But there are two major problems.
First, the people you're talking to have their own set of rules, statistics, and life experiences. While you're trying to persuade them, they are arguing with you in their heads. Second, if you do succeed in persuading them, you've done so only on an intellectual basis. That's not good enough, because people are not inspired to act by reason alone.
The other way to persuade people – and ultimately a much more powerful way – is by uniting an idea with an emotion. The best way to do that is by telling a compelling story. In a story, you not only weave a lot of information into the telling but you also arouse your listener's emotions and energy. Persuading with a story is hard. Any intelligent person can sit down and make lists.
It takes rationality but little creativity to design an argument using conventional rhetoric. But it demands vivid insight and storytelling skill to present an idea that packs enough emotional power to be memorable. If you can harness imagination and the principles of a well-told story, then you get people rising to their feet amid thunderous applause instead of yawning and ignoring you.

It was not long after the Gods had created humankind that they began to realise their mistake. The creatures that they had created were so adept, so skilful, so full of curiosity and the spirit of enquiry that it was only a matter of time before they would start to challenge the Gods themselves for supremacy.
To ensure their pre-eminence the Gods held a large conference to discuss the issue. Gods were summoned from all over the known and unknown worlds. The debates were long, detailed, and soul-searching.
All the Gods were very clear about one thing. The difference between them and mortals was the differences between the quality of the resources they had. While humans had their egos and were concerned with the external, material aspects of the world, the Gods had spirit, soul, and an understanding of the workings of the inner self.
The danger was that sooner or later the humans would want some of that too.
The Gods decided to hide their precious resources. The question was: where? This was the reason for the length and passion of the debates at the Great Conference of the Gods.
Some suggested hiding these resources at the top of the highest mountain. But it was realised that sooner or later the humans would scale such a mountain.
And the deepest crater in the deepest ocean would be discovered.
And mines would be sunk into the earth.
And the most impenetrable jungles would give up their secrets.
And mechanical birds would explore the sky and space.
And the moon and the planets would become tourist attractions.
And even the wisest and most creative of the Gods fell silent as if every avenue had been explored and found wanting.

Are you stuck? Well here is a simple technique that might help you out. Take that idea and try to apply some of the items in the following 'List And Twist' checklist to it. They may seem strange but they just might jog your memory! For instance I showed the list to someone who was writing a children's book and they were taken by the suggestion of adding a smell! The net result – a scratch and sniff book. Try it for yourself and see.

Now you may chuckle at one or more of the above, but did you wonder why? It is the juxtaposition of (strange) ideas that does it. It is exactly this mode of thinking that we need in the business world to be able to see things from a new perspective, generate ideas and spot new opportunities.
For more ideas visit www.creative4business.co.uk and see what happens.
There are many who say that you can only manage what you can measure. I tend to agree with that sentiment so how can I then suggest that Innovation can be managed successfully?
The answer is that Innovation can be measured. What's new I hear you ask? We have always been able to measure this using Key Performance Indicators. KPIs do not measure Innovation directly, they measure the result of Innovation. This is nit picking a little but imagine setting up an Innovation project, and the finding out from your KPIs that the number of widgets falling off your production line has doubled.
At first this seems good but ask yourself how many widgets could you actually produce? How will you know when your Innovation project really is producing the goods? Would it be nice to actually look at that process itself?
The Innovation Toolkit from Creative Business Solutions does just that. At a top level it provides some graphical output that gives you a feel for how you are doing and then provides some more concrete results so that you can a) see what you are currently doing well b) create an action plan to fix the things that are not doing so well.
All of this looks at 'soft factors' such as culture, leadership and management, desire to win, grasp of external factors etc.

So you think you're not creative?
This article is about valuing the creative potential in all of us, and trying to create room for it to flourish. A reasonable degree of creativity is a natural output of mentally and socially healthy people. As in any other human activity, practice and training can develop it. It is, however, quite a fragile state, and many things can, and often do, disrupt it, so that in many cases we are not operating to our full potential.
This implies that if you want to produce a modest increase in creativity, it is usually much more cost-effective to develop people and to remove some of the obstacles, than to try to find Leonardos and Einsteins to build your team from! If you can discover how to release it, creativity will find its own ways to blossom.
One of the most basic requirements is that creativity needs 'space' (in a metaphorical rather than literal sense). New responses to a problem require more mental processing than standard ones. So if you are under severe time pressure and/ or you are endlessly being interrupted and/ or your brain is caught up with obsessive routines, or preoccupied with panic or rage (or even passion!), creativity is going to be difficult! Some of the ways of creating mental space when you are working on your own include the following.
Schedule real 'quality time' for imaginative thinking. If at all possible, give yourself regular 'down-time' from your main role to allow time for thinking. With good forward thinking and preparation, you can often make space, e.g. by scheduling thinking time in quiet periods before the storm. For millennia, most religious traditions have built into their lifestyles regular periods of receptive contemplation and reflection. There were, and are, good reasons for this! It does not have to be anything very elaborate – perhaps just a regular walk, a round of golf, or whatever.
Time-share your brain. Another alternative is to dedicate thinking capacity instead of time. Leave the problem ticking over at the back of your mind and carry a notebook everywhere to record ideas as they occur to you. This can merge into 'guerilla' creativity (see below).
Make psychological space. Use psychological development, assertiveness training, stress management and related approaches to develop the ability to remain calm, relaxed and fully attentive even under high pressure. In this way you can bring your whole mental resource to bear even under very difficult conditions. In effect you develop an 'inner space' on which you can draw when you need to.
Methods you can use when working with others include the following.
Set up a formal creativity session. This, of course, is the classic solution. Notice that as well as providing a physical place where classic creativity methods can be used, it also provides a symbolic space (see the earlier discussion of play). One of the benefits of holding a problem-solving workshop or training course is that it 'gives permission' for participants to set aside their normal responsibilities for a while, to concentrate on a particular issue. This 'permissiongiving' aspect may not be so clear in techniques where the participants do not physically come together (e.g. postal methods such as Delphi, or where people collaborate over computer networks).
Develop skills in 'guerilla' creativity. As many organizations become leaner, the opportunity cost of a formal creativity session increases and such sessions become harder to set up. One solution is to interleave a kind of 'distributed creativity' into other activities. For instance, if you cannot manage a formal brainstorming afternoon with a few colleagues, perhaps you can incorporate an element of brainstorming into your next few corridor conversations, pub lunches or train journeys. You will not be able to use the more elaborate formal methods, so you will have to introduce creative practices discreetly into your conversation in ways that are almost invisible. By getting creativity to ride on the back of other activities, the additional time-cost attributable specifically to creativity can be minimal.
Delegate creativity. Even when you are at your wits' end with pressure, anxiety, exhaustion, etc., there will be others who are not. If you have a good network of trustworthy friends, colleagues, family or even consultants (!) you may sometimes be able to 'borrow' some surrogate creative time from them by asking them to have a go at solving your problem for you.
Here is just one idea for finding something creative in what could otherwise be a very ordinary situation. Find some more in the YES you can ebook series here.
When you next have a problem you want ideas for, practise listening in one-to-one settings, adopting 'in-and-out' thinking.
First of all, listen closely and attentively so your partner begins to open up, following their own train of thought. Then, as you listen, try also letting your imagination roam around what your partner says, both hearing them and letting yourself make connections between their words and your problem. If it works well, you may be able to get quite good ideas from very ordinary conversations.
This is a very good method when sitting in bars and pavement cafes where there are plenty of distractions. Happy experimenting!

Pac Div: GMB
Pac Div, the Southern-Californian hip hop trio, has certainly made a name for themselves since their debut in 2006. Putting a modernized, commercial twist on old-school hip hop, Pac Div has crafted a unique sound that blends club music with classic street jams. Member BeYoung has a monotonous rapping voice that lends itself to hold the group down in a way Q-Tip did for A Tribe Called Quest. On the other hand, members Like and Mibbs have slightly higher-pitched voices and more accented vocals that contrast BeYoung in a way that really rounds out this trio perfectly. All-together, Pac Div appeals to both the hip hop radio listener and the underground backpacker because–unlike almost any other contemporary hip hop act I've ever seen–BeYoung, Like and Mibbs can make universal music for all to enjoy in some way or another.
The follow-up to their major label debut, GMB stands correct as another solid project from Pac Div. Although the consistency of the production is off, the lyrics are pretty straight throughout the whole album. Speaking on the production, the group recruited a few different producers for GMB, but there seemed to be no direct aim for the general sound of the album. One track will be a smoothed-out vibe with a soulful kick to it, and then the next track will be a club-banging, trap-joint. It's like this for the majority of the album, and although I won't knock those club-banging, trap-joints, I do feel that had the production been arranged a little bit better, then the flow of the album wouldn't be so disjointed. Some of the best beats on the project are found on "The Return," "Truth," "Slow," "Can't Help It," "No Superman" and "It's All Love;" all of those beats have a similar sound.
There is a lot of talk about women and cars and clubs and money. "Bank" features a very commercialized sound with essentially all 808s and heavy bass notes. Money takes the crown as the subject matter on the track, and–although I am not one to enjoy these kinds of songs–there's just something about BeYoung that can turn me on to almost any song. "Slow" features a nice beat, but a hook about a woman's rear-end. It's not the best, but it can be catchy at times. As is "Cross-Trainers," which happens to feature hip hop elites Kendrick Lamar' and Blu.
Some of these commercial tracks I can stand because the above-average lyricism. What makes them above-average is their story-telling abilities with crafty wordplay and an authentic street sound. Money-talk, life-talk, women-talk, grind-talk, they mention all of it on GMB and this helps to widen their reach, while proving that they can rhyme unlike any other artist that touches these subjects like they do. If there was some club jam that had to be played, I would want it to be a Pac Div song, because they can actually rap.
GMB, although inconsistent in the production, stays tried and true to the classic Pac Div sound that so many people fell in love with over the years. It's not anything to go nuts over, but the album is definitely an entertaining album full of sharp wordplay and a wide-range of production styles that is sure to include one song that almost everybody can call a dope track.

Print Page - 3 Brothers Coop I: Charge the AI Homeworld!
Title: 3 Brothers Coop I: Charge the AI Homeworld!
So we were using the prerelease version 1202D with me(etgfrogs) and my two brothers(Mr. Smithal and KillerFrogs), seed 1 with 50 system(which makes for a wierd map which is fun), 2 level 5 random easy/medium ai and all 3 of us took 2 home worlds for fun and no handicap. All 3 of immediately notice the exo wormhole right by our bases so we baracade them up as much as possible(love the new 600 turret limit), and proceed to take over everything on the bottom half of the map. Right before we were about to take the first advanced lab and factory one of Mr. Smithal's home world got rushed through the exo-wormhole by a flagship and lost his homeworld, for the first 5 minutes we were wondering what happened and what can we do at this point, so I donated one of my colony ships to him and he rebuilt the systems. So we then noticed that the AI needed to kill all 3 of us to win we redoubled our exo wormhole's defenses to kill any other flagships that tried to come through.
At the point where we took our first Advanced lab we were at 400 Ai progress and hour 3, we agreed that i should have the first factory since i was doing the best so far and i start producing mk 4 shields, scouts and bombers. we start start advancing to the ai home world which was interesting because the map generated a more or less single path to there with only a few minor side systems, we get to around 14 hops out and 4 waves go after one of my home world and sends a zenith AND a flagship which destroy it. At this point we were almost worried because there was only player left, i had build orbital stations over the ruins of my home worlds so i could continue with the campaign.
Realising we needed to win soon or run higher and higher risk of the killerfrogs' home world being destroyed from another focused attack we decided to do a do or die. We then spent around 20 minutes just building our fleets to near cap being all of us got the mk 4 ships. We then gathered together around the ai homeworld and all advanced our fleets to it. me and killerfrogs kept our fleets together while Mr. Smithal used teleport raiders to kill any waves of ships that tried to come near our fleet and he also brought along about 25 engineer II to repair the fleet as it traveled. Thankfully all the worlds were mk 2 up untill 5 hops out so we lost only around 500 ships from 3000 at start. We came across our first mk 3 planet on our journey and lost about 100 or so ships but we got pretty good at keeping our ships together(see picture turtle formation). We go across 3 more planets that was mk 2 with little losses then we reach the mk 4 before the ai homeworld. To our suprise we didn't the message of ships being insta-destroyed by the ion cannon because all the ships left alive was mk 2 and higher and make it through realy quickly but quite a few losses. So we got to the AI homeworld and our engineers got destroyed because of the sniper fire which we rushed the core destroyed it and rushed next door to the other ai homeworld and killed the core as well. At the end I had 50 ships left, Killerfrogs had 100 ships(he was always the 2nd one to jump) and Mr.Smithal teleporting raiders had an unfortunate run in with the lightning towers surounding the last ai core.

Shalmaneser
Add this:
Shalmaneser (Shal´muh-nee´zuhr)
The name of two Assyrian kings important for the history of ancient Israel. 1 Shalmaneser III, the son of Ashurnasirpal II and king of Assyria 858–824 BCE. Though not mentioned by name in the Bible, Shalmaneser III was the king opposed by Ahab of Israel in 853. Later, in 841, King Jehu rendered tribute to Shalmaneser III, following the latter's defeat of Hazael of Damascus. 2 Shalmaneser V, the son of Tiglath-pileser III, king of Assyria 727–722 BCE, who figures prominently in (2Kgs 17:1-6). In 726, Hosea of Israel recognized him as overlord and rendered tribute (2Kgs 17:3). Shortly thereafter, a rebellion against Assyria led to Hosea's imprisonment in 724. Shalmaneser laid siege to Samaria, and the city fell to him in the autumn of 722, but Shalmaneser's death left the fate of Samaria undetermined. The "king of Assyria" who exiled Israelites from Samaria (2Kgs 17:6;) was Shalmaneser V's successor, Sargon II, who reconquered the city in 720 BCE.

Q: Object's property set to native function call, wrong practice? Javascrip can have it's object's properties refer to functions, as shown in the example. Would this be considered wrong, as in "resource heavy" or in any other way cumbersome for the system:
var someGlobalVar = {
    someElement: document.getElementById("someElementsID")
};

It works, but I am wondering if it causes this call to be made every time the object is reference, or only at initialization, or when? Is it okay to write it like this?

A: var someGlobalVar = {
    someElement: document.getElementById("someElementsID")
};

Is equivalent to:
var someGlobalVar = {
    someElement:null
};

someGlobalVar.someElement = document.getElementById("someElementsID");

Could also:
var someGlobalVar = {

   someElement:null,

   setSomeElement:function(e) {
      this.someElement = e;
   }

};

someGlobalVar.setSomeElement(document.getElementById("someElementsID"));

A:
I am wondering if it causes this call to be made every time the object is reference

No, it doesn't.

or only at initialization

Correct.

Is it okay to write it like this?

Absolutely, provided the element will exist as of the time you create that object. (If it doesn't, getElementById will return null.)
This code:
var someGlobalVar = {
    someElement: document.getElementById("someElementsID")
};

...is handled like this if it's at global scope (from the name of the variable, I assume it is):

*

*When the code is added to the global environment (e.g., by a script tag), a variable called someGlobalVar is created; it initially has the value undefined.

*When step-by-step execution of that code starts (which is after all the var declarations and function declarations have been processed), the object initializer is processed like this:

*

*The object is created.

*The property initializer someElement: document.getElementById("someElementsID") is evaluated:

*

*The document.getElementById("someElementsID") part is evaluated and the result of that is the property value (an element reference, or null).

*The property is created on the object using the name someElement and the property value from the previous step.

*The object's reference is saved to the variable someGlobalVar.

Seva, for a better society
Vishwa Samvada Kendra 10 years ago
While most engineering students are bogged down with the weight of heavy textbooks and are confined to a tight academic schedule, here is Niveditha V who chose to live a different life. The final-year engineering student at Yellamma Dasappa Institute of Technology has been actively involved with the NGO, Youth For Seva (YFS) for the last six months, trying to make the society better.
"In my sixth semester I saw a banner of YFS inviting volunteers. At the same time, I saw around me a society that was in need. I felt dutiful to approach the NGO and become a volunteer. That is how my acquaintance with YFS started," says Niveditha.
Starting with small-time community-based activities to more responsible ones, Niveditha believes that she has come a long way, in that she has become a better person. "I have observed that my confidence has improved, and my communication skills have become better. As for now, I teach computers at local government schools," she says.
According to her, the best part about her relationship with YFS is that it never compromises with her engineering studies. "It has never come in the way of my studies. The best part is that I can choose programmes that are near my house, so it is never a problem. Besides, I believe that if you want to do something, you will make time for it," believes Niveditha.
Apart from teaching computers to school kids, Niveditha is also doing a stint with Saksham, an NGO that facilitates audio recording for the visually-impaired. "I help blind students record themselves, and also process the recorded material," she says. While social service is not a potential career option for her, she is firm that volunteering for various causes would continue. "Even after I start a professional career, I want to take time off to volunteer. I am confident of that," says Niveditha.

Herschel Walker net worth is
Herschel Walker Wiki Biography
Herschel Walker is a Wrightsville, Georgia-born former American footballer, sprinter as well as a mixed martial artist. Born on 3 March 1962, Herschel is a College Hall of Fame inductee as well as the winner of Heisman Trophy in 1992 for his exceptional football skills, as he formerly played in college as well as NFL.
An honorific former NFL player, how rich is Herschel Walker? As of 2015, Walker counts his net worth at a good $12 million. A highly achieving player of the National Football League, Walker has amassed most of his present net worth from his NFL career which extended between 1983 and 1997. Also, adding to his wealth is his short and successful career in mixed martial arts.
Herschel Walker Net Worth $12 Million
Born to a blue collar family, Herschel was an overweight child who had a speech impediment. He attended Johnson County High School in his home town where he polished his sportsmanship in football as well as other sports. He played for the team of Johnson County Trojans and won Dial Award for being the athlete of the year as a national high school scholar. Eventually, he took his high school football career to college as he attended the University of Georgia. He made a prolific career in College football, including winning a Maxwell Award. This success added heavily to Walker's net worth, in that it set him up for his professional career.
Herschel initiated his NFL career in 1983 after being picked up by the NFL team the New Jersey Generals. After that, he played for many other NFL teams including the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. Being one of the most sought-after football players in the nation while he was in college and high school, Walker did not take much time to grow in the NFL. During his career over 12 seasons, he amassed several records for yards gained, ranking at least in the top five for all of them. For his exceptional contribution to American football, Walker was a part of Pro-Bowl twice and a part of Second Team All-Pro also twice.
Walker earned more than $1.8 million as his salary when he was playing in the NFL which has obviously added to his net worth. Walker retired from football in 1997, lastly playing for the Dallas Cowboys, and later showed his interest in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). In professional MMA, Walker has played twice winning both the games, which added to his net worth. On top of this, he is also a five times black belt winner in "Taek Won Do".
As for his personal life, Walker divorced his wife of 19 years, Cindy, in 2002.: they have a son. Walker is a born again Christian. Walker has also publicly said that he suffers from a mental condition known as Dissociative Identity Disorder which causes him to mix his emotions in different conditions. As of now, Walker has been enjoying his retirement days from football with a net worth of $12 million in his hands. On a recent note, Herschel has also said that he would like to make a return to football at the age of fifty: however unlikely, all of his fans are waiting.

That Nightmare You Have Where You Can't Move....
by Mark Morrison May 21, 2020
I don't know if I'm on an island here, but I'd guess that many of you know precisely what I'm referring to. That nightmare you have where you need to fight a bad guy, scream for help, or run away from your angrier than normal spouse... but you're frozen. You're completely unable to move or do anything to change what your fate is clearly going to be unless you take action. But you can't. Generally it's just before the train that your wife or husband is driving runs you over that you wake up in a cold sweat. That's the best way that I can attempt to articulate what it was like through every gut wrenching miscarriage we've suffered. As a grown up, you're supposed to be able to solve your own problems. As a significant other, you're supposed to protect your partner at all costs. You're supposed to be able to offer solutions to the problems of those you love. But in this scenario, you can't. In fact, there's an ominous feeling of guilt that it may possibly be you yourself that is the sole cause of the failed pregnancy. It's that helpless feeling that makes a joyous occasion of seeing a positive pregnancy test equally terrifying. I've never wanted to punch a brick building to the ground more than after suffering one of these losses. The rage fueled by the deepest possible sorrow a human can feel is comparable to nothing I've ever experienced. Thankfully, my wife was able to endure that exact feeling, coupled with the actual physical pain she suffered and cling to her resolve to never stop trying for our baby. Gangster is an understatement when it comes to describing her ability to overcome. If you're reading this, know that you're not alone in regard to that empty feeling of helplessness.

Last full day of Il Cinema Ritrovato — I gave it a gentle start with Borzage's STREET ANGEL at 11.15, entering Fox's studio "recreation" of a smoky, crumbling Naples — 100% unlike the real thing but unbelievably beautiful. This was with a Movietone soundtrack, which at first seemed to impose a distance between me and the film, though having sat near the entrance I was also getting a distancing effect for free from all the latecomers stumbling in. (Cinema etiquette at Bologna is not quite as exemplary as one might hope.)
But, as with SUNRISE and TABOO, the music and film seemed to come closer together as the film went on, and the miraculous climax saw sound and image in perfect harmony.
Also: I think that was Josephine the capuchin monkey, star of THE CAMERAMAN and THE CIRCUS, nestling in Janet Gaynor's arms, making this a hat-trick for the celebrated simian.
Lunch was followed by Dick Cavett's Show — having failed to read the programme, we expected this to be a documentary about the eminent talk show host, but it was actually the episode where John Cassavetes, Peter Falk and Ben Gazzara turned into the Marx Bros. to promote HUSBANDS, which was screening in a new restoration. I think the sales tactic didn't work because we didn't rush over to the Cinema Arlecchio to see it, instead dropping in to three shorts by Franju, which seemed a nice circular way to more or less end a festival that began for us, more or less with his NOTRE DAME, CATHEDRAL DE PARIS.
I'd seen EN PASSANT PAR LA LORRAINE and found it weirdly boring — being an English-language version and a ratty print didn't do the uninspired travelogue any favours. Joseph Kosma's music was the only poetic element.
LES POUSSIERES, a short film about DUST, was not as dry as you'd expect. Jean Weiner, the reappearing pianist of Rivette's NOROIT DUELLE, provides a spooky, beautiful soundtrack which I want to rip off someday. The subject is broad enough to allow Franju some room to be strange and poetic.
LE THEATRE NATIONAL POPULAIRE was a bit flat by comparison, but we got to see an extract of Maria Casares playing Lady Macbeth — every bit as intense as you might expect, and a revelation to me since my main references for the role are the Welles and Polanski film versions. In the hands of a powerhouse professional, the role is transfigured.
We SHOULD have stayed in our seats for SANGEN OM DEN ELDRODA BLOMMAN, a 1919 Mauritz Stiller with Lars Hansen, but we were fading, so we went out into the blazing sun, ate at the flat, and separated, Fiona finally managing to stay awake through WAR OF THE WORLDS (not an easy one to fall asleep in, you would have thought, but then have you experienced Bolognese weather?), me heading to the Piazza for LE PLAISIR, a favourite Ophuls now magnificently restored — the grain was imperceptibly fine, the images radiant and impossibly detailed. Each time I see it I've seen more French films, so actors like Gaby Morlay, Madeleine Renaud and Paulette Dubost mean more to me.
This was sort of the last Piazza Maggiore screening of the fest, so I forgave the loquacious Gianluca Farinelli his tendency to talk, untranslated, for twenty minutes at a time. A movie like LE PLAISIR makes up for a lot.
Maximum Effort
Posted in FILM, Television with tags Buster Keaton, David Manners, Elissa Landi, Ernest Truex, Gregory Peck, Henry King, Katharine Hepburn, King of the Movies, Memphis Belle, My Wife's Relations, Sign of the Cross on June 29, 2019 by dcairns
We started yesterday with King of the Movies — a 1978 BBC special in which the nonagenarian Henry King reminisces about his career. This accompanied an extensive BBC2 series of his films, an astonishing event to think of now. Unwisely, the show was programmed opposite an actual King film, which meant we had, for once, a relatively sparsely attended event in which the air-con could really roll up its sleeves and get down to business. The show itself was highly enjoyable, with King a terrific raconteur.
THE WARRIOR'S HUSBAND (1933) is a startling Fox film, from a Broadway play which had been a hit for Katharine Hepburn. Elissa Landi, in the lead, seems to have modeled her performance on KH, with lots of thigh-slapping and chin-jutting.
The story deals with gender war — Amazons versus Greeks — but the style is pure Loony Tunes, with "You Great Big Beautiful Doll" played on the soundtrack as Ernest Truex admires himself. Warrior women include Marjorie Rambeau and Maude Eburn (her helmet visor forever slamming shut with a cartoon twang), and David Manners turns up to show us what a real man looks like (!). Also two quick moments of interest amid the generally cheesy jokes: two black male dressmakers put their arms around each other — the comedy is blurring the lines between 1933 servant class and ancient slave class, between men performing women's roles and men being gay, between men as female dressmakers and men as camp tailors. And then there's Landi's bath scene, resting chin and elbows on the brim of a huge raised bath, before throwing herself backwards into a backstroke, affording a few frames' glimpse of what DeMille framed out in her milk bath scene with Claudette Colbert in SIGN OF THE CROSS.
Well, Fiona fell asleep in this film, which is not a distinguished picture but a very odd one. And then she did it again in TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH, which is a very good Henry King picture with Gregory Peckory cast against type and compelled to do some real acting.
The early scenes contain the boldest stuff — violence, blood and dismemberment are not shown, but they're DESCRIBED in graphic detail. Based on what I saw in MEMPHIS BELLE and THE COLD BLUE, the depiction of the US Air Force's activities in Britain is fairly accurate. Unusually, there's no flying stuff until near the end, when sadly the movie becomes a fruit salad of model effects, studio process shots and footage from Wyler's aerial documentary and additional material courtesy of the Luftwaffe.
Peck's mission is to discover what "Maximum Effort" really means — how much a flight crew can take without falling apart psychologically. Well, we had reached Maximum Effort at Bologna, after eight days, so we staggered through Buster Keaton's MY WIFE'S RELATIONS — a version incorporating both Cohen Media's restored footage and Lobster's newly-discovered ending, which may never be shown again — and then collapsed back at our Airbnb.
I'm still convinced the film would work better if you put BOTH endings together, but there's no evidence it was ever screened that way…
Today's the last FULL day of Il Cinema Ritrovato but there are more screenings tomorrow and our flight back is on Monday. More to come.
Posted in FILM with tags Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, College, For a Few Dollars More, Gregory Peck, Indiscreet, Ken Adam, Lee Van Cleef, Maurice Binder, Pork Chop Hill, Stanley Donen, The Bravados, The Circus, Walter Kerr on June 28, 2019 by dcairns
So, yesterday, as I mentioned yesterday, I got up late and saw INDISCREET — it was a close-run thing, though. One gets used to being able to squeeze into any screening, even nabbing the last seats in the house (we haven't been forced to stand this year, and in the current heatwave it's doubtful we could pull it off). But there was a big crowd gathered outside the Arlecchino and it seemed all to possible that the audience for MOULIN ROUGE, the previous screening, might all stay in their seats rather than brave the solar barrage. But it was OK.
The movie was slow going at first — what seemed like an hour of expository set-up of the "After all, you're a famous actress!" variety, a rather stodgy play opened out, rendering it stodgier. But then the plot kicks in and the laughs start coming thick and fast, and anyway, we have Cary and Ingrid to look at. Cary's entrance is a good bit of "female gaze" filmmaking, with the camera simply feasting its eyes on him while the music soars. And we get Maurice Binder titles, too, though without the customary nude silhouettes cavorting.
We once asked the great Bond film production designer about Binder. "Maurice Binder was a very nice man, who liked, very much, to photograph naked women in silhouette," he said.
On to THE BRAVADOS, in an incredibly pristine Cinemascope print — it started and I thought it was a DCP, and then the projectionist had to adjust the framing. A vivid blue Technicolor day-for-night sky with a silhouetted Gregory Peckory riding against it and slashed red titles superimposed.
Fantastic Mexican locations and you can see where Leone nicked some of his ideas for FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE (also playing in Bologna) — Lee Van Cleef even plays a major-ish role. Peck is good early on, his natural stoicism turned into a more interesting noirish intransigence. At the end, having taken a revenge which didn't satisfy and left him morally compromised, he visits the spiritual laundromat — a nice big Mexican church, and emerges SMILING, an appalling choice by Peck which confirms his tendency — demonstrated also in PORK CHOP HILL — to screw up endings with banal, platitudinous decisions. A well-poisoner.
We stayed in our seats — the sweltering heat was such we'd have had trouble leaving them — and saw COLLEGE, beautifully accompanied by Neil Brand on the piano, the only thing in the room capable of being upright. Fiona thought she'd never seen it before, and relished all the footage of Buster in shorts.
Then we ate and dragged our sodden carcasses to the Piazza Maggiore to see THE CIRCUS, which I don't believe I'd ever seen from beginning to end, and certainly not in such a magnificent restoration — watch for a Blu-ray soon — in such a setting, under the stars. Timothy Brock conducted Chaplin's score, and afterwards we all discussed our favourite bits over ice-cream. It wasn't elevated film criticism, it was just "The monkeys!" and "The piglets!" and "The lion — and the little dog!"
A better film than I'd expected, even as a Chaplin fan — I'd been too influenced by Walter Kerr, who objected to the premise of the accidental clown. I think perhaps the true significance of the tramp's success in the ring is that he's only funny when his clowning HAS NARRATIVE CONTEXT.


Nov 19th, 2005 was the first time I went out and approached women hard. Brad P. took me out on a "field mission." I approached more women that night than I had in my entire life. I opened maybe ten sets.
For the first few months I did a lot of night game. I had a couple of one-night-stands, and a few girls I was "seeing" for a little while.
February 1st I took Art of Attraction with Pickup101.
In the spring I set my mind on day game.
When I first began approaching women during the day, it was difficult. I had a lot of anxiety, more so than at night. It seemed so much like something I was not really "supposed" to do, unlike the way people socialize at a bar.
I took Art of Rapport in April, in which I did about 40 sets in a 2-day period. It did exactly what I wanted it to do: it showed me that opening sets during the day is possible and totally cool. However, when I got back to NYC after Art of Rapport, I still had difficulty on the street opening sets.
I decided that I would do one set every day at lunch, and that's what I did. It was difficult at first.
Doing that one set every day was the most difficult thing that I would do that day. But I also made it the most important thing that day. I focused my day on it. Everything else came second to that.
There's a fantastic place near me called Bryant Park, right behind the NYC public library. It's in midtown and during the summer, people flock there like birds. The girls aren't exactly my "type," I like them artsy and rockstar rather than corporate, but I was determined to do this to "get over" my approach anxiety.
And I did it. Every single day. Some days I had too much anxiety to open sets. But after a while I almost always opened at least one set every day. If I didn't find someone at lunch I would go out on a coffee break to try and find a cute girl.
While my approach anxiety did lessen, it never went away. What happened though, was that I got into a habit of going out every day and approaching girls.
If you've ever trained for an intense sport like running, you know that at the beginning it can be extremely difficult to convince yourself to do it. Having a coach or a team or regular practice can really help. But having to train on your own can be so difficult. It is painful.
But you allow your body to get into a regular habit of accepting the pain during training. And after a while, the pain seems to dissolve into the background. You just go out and do it every day, without thinking. Pretty soon your body is in shape and the pain is less acute.
But the pain is still there, telling you when you are pushing your limits.
That's what happened with pickup for me. If I'm sitting home on a Saturday afternoon trying to figure out what to do with my afternoon, I can say to myself "I'm going to go out for an hour and approach a woman or two." And it's not that difficult. It doesn't take a ton of mental energy to get myself to do it anymore. I don't really need to summon my courage as much.
It takes a bit of courage here and there, especially if I'm about to approach a super hot girl. But it's not the mountain of courage it used to take in the beginning.
I've gotten really comfortable with approaching girls in the park just by doing it so much.
But now summer is over! No!!! What happened to the girls in the park? They're gone!
Now I'm focusing on learning to approach women in other venues: walking down the street, in stores, etc. I've done approaches in stores and on the street before, but I've not made it a HABIT. It's not something that I can just switch on.
So that is my next goal, to learn to easily approach women on the street and in stores, without giving it much of a thought.
This whole conquer-by-venue thing seems to work pretty well. I've gotten fairly comfortable opening girls in bars and parks, and now I'm working on getting super comfortable doing it on the street.
I should make it clear though, that I do have approach anxiety in these situations. Not all the time, but it does crop up. It will never go away. It is my thorny companion, telling me when I am challenging myself and sparking a small fire inside me. I decide to allow myself to be vulnerable and I accept this companion. I do not "get over" approach anxiety or even "get through" it. I take it with me.
Anyone who says that they can "cure" your approach anxiety is lying. They may as well be a traveling salesman selling you a bottle of miracle-grow at a carnival sideshow. They may as well tell you that they can "cure" you of ever falling for a girl again.
What happens though, is that by practicing, you learn to accept it in different ways than you did before. It doesn't take as much courage to overcome it as it did in the beginning.

Easter week 1916 the Rebels from the Irish Citizen Army and the Irish Volunteers took over the wireless teleraphy station in O'Connell street Dublin, they took a transmitter to the GPO and declared to the world on shortwave radio that Ireland is now a Republic.
In what was probably the first clandestine/pirate broadcast in the world, the rebels transmission reached America where the papers printed headlines "Revolt in Ireland" while the British press operated under a information blackout about the Rising in Dublin.
Ireland has a vibrant clandestine/pirate radio history. Ronan O'Rahilly launched Radio Caroline from Greenore port in Co Louth Easter Week 1964, because the BBC and other stations wouldn't play a band he managed because the music they played was associated with black music. 48 years earlier in 1916 Ronan's grandfather died in the Easter Rising on Moore street as rebel troops tried to escape with the transmitter to a safer location on Parnell street as the GPO was on fire.


Today's sales climate is drastically different. Competition is fierce, and copycats are quick to replicate product and service innovations. It's more difficult than ever for brands to differentiate themselves in the market.
You might think this has driven down prices, allowing the lowest-priced provider to win more sales. However, we've found the opposite is true. It's not the provider with the lowest price who's winning the sale but the provider who demonstrates the greatest value.

According to our research, only 17 percent of companies rank their sales training as effective. Top-performing sales organizations — those with higher win rates, the ability to charge premium prices and a greater likelihood of achieving sales goals — are nearly twice as likely to offer effective training. They're also nearly twice as likely to report a strong investment in sales training.
This one seems obvious. It's easier and less costly to generate meetings when you market and sell to your current and previous clients. These groups also are more likely to want to hear your ideas and collaborate with you.
In fact, 77 percent of those who participated in RAIN Group's agree that making phone calls to existing accounts is an effective prospecting technique. (It was the No. 1 prospecting tactic across all respondents.) Additionally, 61 percent of the top-performing sales organizations agree its sellers are effective at maximizing sales to existing clients.
Your sales managers must be equipped to motivate sellers day in and day out, hold sellers accountable, help sellers build sales and account plans or coach them to win important deals. If they're not doing those things, you're likely leaving opportunities on the table to grow your pipeline, increase your win rate and grow sales.
Sales leaders and individual contributors need to be clear on these milestones and how you'll get there together. Develop goal and action plans (organizational and individual) with yearly, quarterly, monthly and weekly goals and actions. You can create and monitor your progress using a goal-setting worksheet. On an individual level, your sales managers can use this plan to coach sellers and hold them accountable.
You don't need to focus on all five of these opportunities to grow your sales in 2019. Pick one that aligns with your organization's goals and concentrate on mastering that opportunity before you move on to the next. Incorporating just one of these is sure to improve your sales results and make a difference in your company's overall success.

Aoudad Hunting: The Poor Man's Sheep
By Lynn BurkheadDecember 6, 2017
Have You Ever Hunted Aoudad?
Like countless other big game hunters across the U.S., I dream of one day roasting tenderloins in a high-altitude camp as the flickering firelight casts its glow on a set of wild sheep horns strapped to my backpack. Be it a fully curled Rocky Mountain bighorn, Dall, Stone or Desert, I don't care — I just want to be a sheep hunter, the kind that the legendary Jack O'Connor was as he roamed the withering heights with his .270 in hand.
Unfortunately, being a sheep hunter is my dream, not my reality thanks to staggeringly high hunting costs and precious few tags available through state draws. But there is hope for a wannabe sheep hunter like myself, hope that comes in the form of a beautiful nomadic animal with sweeping horns that have found their way to American shores.
Those sheep are the imported aoudad sheep, or Barbary sheep. Native to the rocky, desert mountains of North Africa, the sheep have made themselves quite at home in the similarly dry and rugged mountainous terrain found in portions of Texas and New Mexico where they were released many years ago.
Today, huntable populations of free-ranging, wild aoudad sheep can be found roaming the Texas Panhandle's Palo Duro Canyon, the mountains of southwestern Texas, and the nearby craggy peaks of southern New Mexico.
With a beautiful sandy-brown coat, shaggy chaps and golden, semi-circle horns, the aoudad offers a supreme hunting challenge and a price tag in the range of a Midwestern whitetail bowhunt. Call an aoudad adventure a poor man's sheep hunt if you will, but the aches and pains that a trek into the rugged outback of Texas or New Mexico are real and the photos and memories from such a hunt are priceless.
If chasing aoudad sheep in the rugged mountains of Texas and New Mexico interests you, consider these recommendations:
Hire the Right Guide: North Texas big game hunter Doug Rodgers says that since these animals are hunted on private land — primarily during the more temperate fall, winter, and spring months — finding an experienced outfitter with access to good mountainous property is a must.
Use Top-End Equipment: "If you're rifle hunting like I was, you'll need a good flat-shooting and lightweight rifle," Rodgers said. "You'll also need some very good boots and top-end optics." The hunter's optics package included 10x42 binoculars, a spotting scope and a 3x10 scope.
Be in Top-Flight Shape: "This is a physically demanding and mentally challenging hunt," Rodgers said. "This type of hunting involves plenty of mind over matter when you find yourself climbing in spots where you are six-inches from falling off a 200-foot cliff."
So says Doug Rodgers, a big game hunter from Whitesboro, Texas, a small town just north of Dallas/Fort Worth.
Hunting with guide Bubba Glosson of Southwest Trophy Hunts, Rodgers lived out his sheep-hunting dream in the rugged Chinati Mountain range between Presidio and Marfa, Texas."This is a really good introduction to sheep hunting," Rodgers said. "Bubba knew that I had a dream to hunt sheep and this is relatively inexpensive when compared to other sheep hunts. I'd highly recommend it for that reason. There are no special permits and you can go every year if you want."
After hunting hard and climbing through steep, prickly countryside at some 7,000 feet, Rodgers and his guides were finally able to spot a 31-inch aoudad with their optics. When the crosshairs settled into place, the hunter touched off the shot with his .300 rifle and the ram was his. "This was pure hunting in big country," Rodgers said. "As with any other sheep hunting, you basically hunt with your eyes and anything that you'll use is carried in on your back."

While he still yearns to hunt Rockies, Deserts, Dall or Stone sheep one day, Rodgers says there was nothing subpar about his first wild sheep hunting experience.
"I think it's as authentic an experience as you'll ever have," said the mule deer hunting fanatic with a couple of Booners to his credit. "I've been in some of Arizona and Sonora, Mexico's sheep country, and this is the same kind of country (and experience)."
The North American Hunting Club's Bill Miller found that to be true on his aoudad hunting experience a few years back, again in southwestern Texas.
"The Davis Mountains are mountains like an outsider would never expect in Texas," the Minnesota resident said. "They are very steep and the elevation is surprising for Texas. It's the perfect environment for those sheep."
Maybe so, but the NAHC man notes that it is certainly not the perfect environment for filming a hunt with heavy and expensive cameras being toted around.
"The climbing, some of it is straight up and down," Miller said. "While some of these cliffs are only 40 to 50 feet tall instead of 400 to 500 feet, I still think it would hurt quite a bit to fall off. We definitely went to places that I've never taken our good cameras before."
With superb eyesight, smell and hearing to go with their inhospitable home turf, Miller found out that these sheep are certainly no pushovers for hunters. Surprisingly stout, mature rams can weigh as much as 300 pounds on the hoof and can be difficult to bring down. In fact, Miller recommends that hunters bring big-caliber rifles from a 30.06 on up or a .50 caliber muzzleloader.
For those looking for the ultimate sheep hunting challenge, bowhunting aoudads might be it. Bowhunting aoudad sheep is a tough proposition admitted Miller's guide, Steve Jones of Backcountry Hunts in Carlsbad, New Mexico. Challenging for sure, but not impossible.

"It is a tough hunt for a bowhunter," said Jones, who like Glosson, has been guiding hunters since the mid-80s. "We had a bowhunter (a few years ago) who was the first truly dedicated bowhunter who came only with his bow. He came and got his sheep with a bow, and got a pretty nice one, too."
While aoudads typically go through the rut during the month of October, for the most part, Jones said that hunters see aoudads as an off-season diversion. He also said that veteran sheep hunters who have chased more famous sheep species in rugged mountain ranges much farther to the north and west will find that searching the Davis Mountains for a trophy aoudad is the real deal.
"I've personally hunted Dall sheep and I've found aoudads to be every bit as difficult to hunt," Jones said. "It's amazing how they've adapted to this desert country out here. They look like they belong out here, be it Texas or New Mexico."
Rodgers fully agrees, noting that he is already looking to make a second aoudad hunt a reality.
"There is nothing poor about an aoudad sheep — it's a beautiful trophy that lives in challenging terrain where everything you touch is jagged and sticks to you," he said. "This is a trophy that you earn by your boot leather and by plenty of muscle aches."
Just like Jack O'Connor did.

Genre: Realistic Fiction
The Fault In Our Stars was something I didn't really want to read. It seemed like a very sad book, felt like it was heavy and would bring out all the #feels. What made me read it was its popularity and finding out that the movie was coming out soon. Also, it seemed like everybody has already read it and are raving about how good it is. So I got myself an ebook copy. I liked the cover because it's blue. And simple. And it actually called out to me when I first saw it at the book store. After reading the blurb, I wasn't really interested because I knew how it was going to end. Hazel Grace is dying. It's a miracle that she's alive. She goes to support group and where she meets Augustus, who was there for his friend. There was an attraction and sweet moments and romance and you'll feel sad because you know there's really no happy ending here, but you keep reading. There's a grand gesture where, as a reader, makes you fall in love with Augustus, like Hazel Grace. They're perfect for each other, they have to be because one or both of them would die in the end. Their conversations are too perfect, too deep, a lot of big words are thrown out there that I had to use the built-in dictionary to find out its meaning. Not that I recall what they are and like I'd ever use them in my conversations. There's now a thing when I read books where the main character puts a cigarette in his mouth but doesn't light it, and in my head, I would go, "it's a metaphor." Spoilers ahead if you haven't read or seen the movie yet. I knew Augustus would die. Hazel Grace can't just drop dead and then who would tell the story? It would be like her favorite book, Imperial Afflictions. But even after knowing he would die, it didn't stop the tears. I was not able to pace myself for the end and I cried like I was Hazel Grace and lost the love of my life. I guess one of the things that bothered me a bit was the time they had sex. Hazel Grace already has a hard time breathing on her own right? Even with the oxygen tank, it's not easy. And then they go and have sex. Wouldn't that have made it harder for her? IDK. I guess it just proves that if there's a will, there's a way. Lol
