Q: Read 3 million records with hibernate I'm a noob in hibernate and I have to read 2 million records from a DB2 z/OS-Database with hibernate in Java. (JDBC)
My problem is, that I run OutOfMemory after 150000 records.
I've heard about batching etc, but I only find solutions for actually inserting new records. What I want to do is to read this records in an ArrayList for further usage.
So I'm actually just selecting one row of the database to reduce the data:
getEntityManager().createQuery("select t.myNumber from myTable t").getResultList();

Also it would be interesting, if there is a better way to read such a huge amount of records.(Maybe without Hibernate?)

A: The following is the way to do batch processing using hibernate. Keep in mind this is not 100% tested. It's kind of pseudo logic.
int i=0;
int batch = 100;
List<myNumber> numList = getEntityManager().createQuery("select t.myNumber from myTable t").setFirstResult(i).setMaxResults(batch).getResultList();

while(numList.size() == batch){
    //process numList
    i+=batch;
    numList = getEntityManager().createQuery("select t.myNumber from myTable t").setFirstResult(i).setMaxResults(batch).getResultList();
}

Hibernate documentation for setFirstResult() and setMaxResults()

A: A best approach is to use statelessSession ( no deal with cache ) and bulk operations with the scrollableResults method :
StatelessSession statelessSession = sessionFactory.openStatelessSession(connection);
    try {
     ScrollableResults scrollableResults = statelessSession.createQuery("from Entity").scroll(ScrollMode.FORWARD_ONLY);

     int count = 0;
     while (scrollableResults.next()) {
      if (++count > 0 && count % 100 == 0) {
       System.out.println("Fetched " + count + " entities");
      }
      Entity entity = (Entity) scrollableResults.get()[0];
      //Process and write result
     }
    } finally {
     statelessSession.close();
    }

A: You should not load all records into memory but process them in batch, e.g: loop every 1000 records by using
createQuery(...).setFirstResult(i*1000).setMaxResults(1000);

A: You have found the upper limit of your heap.  Have a look here to know how to properly size you heap:
Increase heap size in Java
However, I cannot imagine why you would need to have a List of 3 million records in memory.  Perhaps with more information we could find an alternative solution to your algorithm?

A: Yes off course
You may use The Apache™ Hadoop® for large project . it develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines
hadoop apache

A: This is basically a design question for the problem you are working on. Forget Hibernate even if you are doing the same thing in plain JDBC you will hit the memory issue, maybe a bit late. The idea of loading such huge data and keeping in memory is not suitable for applications requiring short request-response cycles and is not good for scalability either. As others have suggested you can try the batch or paging behaviour or if you want to be more exotic you can try parallel processing via distributed data-grid (like Infinispan) or map-reduce framework from Hadoop.
Going by the description of your problem it seems that you need to keep the data around in memory.
If you must keep the huge data around in memory then you can query the data in batches and keep storing them in a distribited cache (like Infinispan) which can span multiple JVM's on single machine or multiple machine forming a cluster. This way your data will reside partially on each node.Here Infinispan can be used as a distributed cache.
There are framework like Spring Batch which take the route of solving such problems by dividing the work into chunks (batch) and then processing them one by one. It has even inbuilt JPA based readers and writers which perform this work in a batch.

How Do I get to Mark's Place Moorea?
On arrival at Tahiti's International Airport, you have 2 choices of transportation to get to the ferry port. Either taxi or bus. Taxi is probably the best option as bus's don't accommodate a lot of luggage and sometimes can be unreliable to the posted time table. When requesting a taxi or using the bus service say that you want to go to the 'Moorea ferry port'. There are 2 types of boat service operating between Papeete and Moorea, fast boat (Catamaran) taking ½ hour and ferry taking 1 hour. Left mouse this hyperlink to see the ferry timetables.
If you have a prior arranged pickup with Mark he will be waiting for you. Mark offers pickup and delivery to and from either the Moorea ferry port or airport: This service has to be arranged and agreed at the time of your booking. Mark's transportation costs are, from the port: 2500cfp up to 4 people, from the airport: 3500cfp up to 4 people.
The cost of a trip to Marks Place from the port should be around 3500cfp up to 4 people. The cost of a trip from the airport should be around 4500cfp up to 4 people.
if you have luggage on the trolley inside the boat, do not wait for it to be unloaded, go directly to the bus drivers and speak to the one going towards "Haapiti" and he will wait for you to get your luggage from the trolley. The unloading of the luggage trolley from the ferry can take a bit of time and the drivers sometimes do not wait very long after the boat arrives. The cost for a bus trip is 300cfp per person.
Cars and scooters are available for rental at ferry port or airport, but can ONLY be delivered by previous booking.
Left mouse this hyperlink to view a map showing how to get to Mark's Place.
What facilities are in the bungalows?
Each bungalow has a full kitchen with all cooking requirements including stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, hot water, cutlery, plates, glasses mugs etc enabling food to be prepared to your personal style. Linen is changed every 4 days. Mosquito nets are not provided.
We are 200 metres back from the coastal road. The inner lagoon and reef is accessible by kayak at the end of our drive way. The nearest bathing beach(Panapo or Pineapple beach) is 4km away, 7 mins by car or scooter, 15 mins by push bike. This is a wonderful white sand beach that offers great swimmimng and snorkelling, a restaraunt overlooking the beach, chairs, toilets, showers and shade all available for your use. 'Marks Place' does free delivery to Pineapple beach and then you can walk back along the beach after an enjoyable day swimming and snorkelling.
Like the rest of the Tahitian Islands, Moorea's weather is tropical and can be summed up in just two seasons: wet and dry. The capital city of Papeete reports an average yearly rain fall of 1800mm.
The wet season generally runs between the months of November to April. During this time, you can expect very high humidity with brief and frequent storms. The wet season is also referred to as the "off season." If you're looking to do Tahiti on a budget, you'll probably find better deals this time of year and you're likely to have a fair amount of sunshine. Temperatures will range from 27 - 30 degrees C, with the hottest months being February and March. Day to night temperature fluctuations are minimal.
The dry season runs from May to October and you can expect less rain, although occasional nighttime downpours are not uncommon. This time of year is the "high season" and you should expect to encounter more tourists on your trip than in the off season. July is usually the most crowded time of the time. If you're going to Tahiti to scuba, the dry season is probably the best time to go because the visibility is better. This is the Polynesian winter. Temperatures generally range from between 24-28 degrees C, and rain is rare. Day to night temperature fluctuations are minimal.
Although the year round temperatures remain tropical, trade winds are usually blowing, which will help keep you cool. For this reason, you may want to pack a light sweater or jacket, especially for the evening.
What is the surf like on Moorea?
Most of the surf breaks on Moorea are on the passes. The passes are breaks in the outer reef that surrounds the island. The break in front of Marks(Haapiti) is about 1km from shore. Its a very consistent break and can handle some size. It works on south swell generated from depressions that go under New Zealand. When the swell maxes Haapiti out go round to Taeme which works of big south swells that wrap round the island. See the activity/surf page for more detail.
How close to restaurants and food shops are you?
The closest sit down restaurant is a Pizza parlour 5 mins away by push bike. Mark has an arrangement with the local Pizzeria and Restaurants orffering free pickup and delivery on request. A number of other restaurants are a 15min car or scooter drive away. 3 stores Magasin(Super Market) 5 mins away by push bike with all the daily staples available, baguette, milk, fruit and vegetables etc. Mark has an arrangement with the local Pizzeria and Restaurants orffering free pickup and delivery on request. Also in close proximity is a snack, a fish market and roulots.
Do you offer any security for valuables?
We are happy to store your valuables in our safe.
Do you hire cars and scooters?
We don't directly hire cars or scooters but can help you organise the hire of these. We have an arrangement where Avis drop off and pick up vehicles to and from Marks Place. This also applies to scooters from the RENT A BIKE & SCOOTER depot at Petit Village. If you intend to arrange a rental car at either the ferry terminal or the airport be sure to mention you are staying at Marks Place to receive their special rate.
Do you hire bikes, kayaks and SUP's?
Yes we have a number of push bikes and kayaks for hire at 1000 cfp per day & per person. We also rent Masks and fins at 500cfp per day & per person. SUP's (Stand up Paddle Boards) are available for hire close by.

No, we do no catering.


GREELEY — The area students listed below have been named to the dean's list or the honor roll in recognition of their outstanding scholarship for the 2014-15 academic year at the University of Northern Colorado.
ROLLA, Mo. — Missouri University of Science and Technology announced last week the names of students who made the honor list for the Spring 2015 semester.
Aaron Steven Watts, of Commerce City, was named to the honor list for the spring semester. To be included on the honor list, students must have carried a minimum of 12 hours and had grade point averages of 3.2 or above out of a possible 4.0.
LARAMIE, Wyo. — Some local students earned degrees from the University of Wyoming this past spring semester.
Courtney Melissa Nordhus, of Commerce City, and Diego Lander-Saldana and Kyle Gregory Schriner, of Thornton, were among the nearly 13,000 students from 50 states and 77 countries to earn a degree from UW, which offers more than 200 areas of study.
COMMERCE CITY — New students can sign up for classes at Adams City High School July 28-30.
The 10th-graders take their turn July 28, with juniors following July 29, and the seniors rounding out registration July 30. Times are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
BOULDER — For some students, an 8 a.m. class isn't always the best time to listen to and absorb a lecture. The best time for learning might come later in the day, or perhaps even when the student is alone in his or her dorm room.
Likewise, the best way for educators to internalize and grasp a concept isn't necessarily in a conference room with dozens of peers, listening to a speaker deliver a prepared presentation complete with PowerPoint and notecards.
PORTALES, N.M. — Timothy Blossom, of Commerce City, was awarded a scholarship from Eastern New Mexico University's College of Fine Arts at the Scholarship Awards Ceremony April 21.
Seven students from Commerce City were among 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students who received degrees from the University of Northern Colorado during its spring graduation ceremonies.
BRIGHTON — Almost a dozen high school seniors were honored earlier this month during School District 27J's Hispanic Advisory Council's annual awards dinner and auction.
Ten students each were awarded a $1,000 college scholarship at the event, held May 1 at Prairie View Middle School.
BRIGHTON — School District 27J Board of Education members cautiously approved a set of amendments to the district's charter school policy to ensure fairness in the admissions lottery process.


My Time at Portia strives to emulate the attraction of a uncomplicated lifestyles, very similar to video games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing. To start with, the revel in turns out to line up intently with expectancies set by means of the ones different simulations; as a newcomer in the neighborhood, you do chores, socialize with townsfolk, and customise your dwelling area to make it really feel extra like house. However as the times pass by means of, My Time at Portia fails to coalesce into a global you wish to have to inhabit. As an alternative, it step by step grows duller below the load of repetitive busywork and underwhelming incentives to stay the grind going.
Your created persona arrives within the old fashioned city-state of Portia and inherits a workshop, then completes more than a few development contracts for the city and its citizens. As you meet your neighbors and be informed the ropes, your jobs are small and uncomplicated, requiring fabrics you'll simply collect or refine to make gear, tables, and water buckets. The complexity ramps up briefly, requiring you to construct other stations to transmute elements into different items. As an example, if bronze sheets are an component in a blueprint, first you should pass mining within the ruins to get copper and tin ore. You then use a furnace to smelt them right into a bronze brick, and put the ones bricks right into a cutter to form them into bronze sheets. And the ones sheets are most likely simply certainly one of a number of essential elements that experience multi-step manufacturing chains.
This escalating procedure is also acquainted, however the place different video games within the style provide you with cool rewards and pleasing growth, the loop feels joyless right here. Even whilst you construct a couple of furnaces (or cutters, grinders, and many others.), generating your fabrics takes too lengthy and appears like a slog. And whilst you after all whole a blueprint, you hardly experience any attention-grabbing advantages because of this. You simply select up the following quest, which has a extra sophisticated blueprint looking ahead to you – and "extra sophisticated" normally simply method it calls for much more pieces and upgrades to complete. Every step ahead appears like the very same more or less busywork, all stretched over dozens of hours.
Occasionally you want to undertaking into dungeons for missions and material-gathering, which is the place the simplistic fight mechanics transform essential. The fundamental attacking and dodging is purposeful as you mow down generic creatures and managers, but it surely isn't numerous sufficient to be compelling or entertaining. Your luck is extra decided by means of your stats than your ability, and I used to be bummed the ones stats are so in large part influenced by means of what you're dressed in. I from time to time had to choose from surviving and now not having a look like a clown, and that may make the beauty customization irritating.
Filling within the areas between the development and the preventing is an array of not obligatory quests and half-baked actions. As an example, farming is provide, but it surely appears like an mandatory afterthought since your consideration is best spent on development. You'll additionally building up your status with villagers and ultimately get married. Alternatively, the characters don't have a lot for personalities or attention-grabbing characteristics, which makes it arduous to care about getting to grasp them.
Any time you spend in Portia may be marred by means of technical issues, together with lengthy loading displays, animation hiccups, and bulky menus. Those problems are particularly amplified at the Transfer model, making it indubitably the worst technique to play. Whilst the technical shortcomings don't render the sport damaged or unplayable, they devise a pervasive sense of unpolished sloppiness that finally pressured me to invite, "Why am I enjoying this? What does this recreation supply to make this well worth the bother?" The solution? Not anything.
One thing arduous to outline is lacking from My Time at Portia. It routinely ticks many bins that simple-life fantasies are meant to, but it surely lacks the attraction and pride that springs from its friends within the style. It calls for your time with out engaging you, and puts you in a global that feels hole. Video games like this are meant to make chores amusing and rewarding, however enjoying My Time at Portia feels extra like exact paintings.

Albemarle Place is Back on Track – Take Two
in	Albemarle Charlottesville	on	 September 11, 2008	 September 11, 2008	 with	1 Comment
So says Brian McNeill in today's DP, and he covers most of the angles – water, infrastructure, proffers (I'd love to know what they're trying to re-negotiate).
Albemarle Place is planned for 65 acres of vacant land near the 7-Eleven on Hydraulic Road. Once completed, the project will feature 1 million square feet of residential space and 900,000 square feet of retail and office space. Its buildings would surround a 10,000-square-foot foundation, according to plans. … Steve Boyle, vice president for development at Edens & Avant, said it is too early to announce any tenants of Albemarle Place, but added that he expects it to include a theater, hotel, grocery, pedestrian shopping area and open space.
"This is an enormous project," Boyle said. "It'll transform how retailing is done in Charlottesville. It's been talked about for too long. We're going to make it happen."
Edens & Avant's Web site touts Albemarle Place as an "elegant mix of Main Street retail, residential living, Class A office, and upscale hotel." It describes Charlottesville as the "Napa of the East Coast."
Really, the "Napa of the East Coast?" Sure, we have the Monticello Wine Trail and the budding at RealCentralVA –2005, 2005, 2006, 2006, 2007, and Charlottesville Tomorrow.
*As an aside, in researching this post, I was reminded that the Daily Progress' decision to not bring its archives forward into their new site infrastructure is lamentable, as they have abdicated their responsibility to the community (and their own relevance). I know that some at the DP/Media General intended to bring them into the new system, but clearly not enough of them shared this goal.

Ok, Im learning lightwave. I have this great scene that looks so real. Now I have this nifty logo thin I want to place over the first color texture layer.
Problem is that the background of the second color texture covers the first layer. How do I make the background of the second color texture transparent?
Are you using two images? If so, it's probably easiest to do the image that is on top as a .png, and use a graphics program to make the background transparent.


I present the interim report of the Joint Select Committee on Northern Australia, together with the Hansard record of proceedings and documents presented to the committee.
The Joint Select Committee on Northern Australia has been tasked by the parliament to consider policies for developing parts of Australia that lie north of the Tropic of Capricorn, spanning Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory. The Alice Springs region, which is just below the Tropic of Capricorn, has also been included within the scope of the inquiry because of the interest expressed from Central Australia in participating in the inquiry. More specifically, the committee is tasked with examining the potential of and the impediments to economic growth, the role of regulation in stimulating investment and social factors affecting this growth in the north. The inquiry will also identify the critical economic and social infrastructure that is needed to support long-term growth and investment for the region. The committee's inquiry is running in tandem with the government's commitment to produce a white paper on Northern Australia within 12 months of the 2013 federal election.
This inquiry has generated a high level of community interest and created high expectations about the work of the committee. To date, the committee has received 287 submissions and 49 exhibits. The committee has undertaken an extensive program of travel, with more than 20 hearings and inspections, covering a large range of locations across the north of Australia.
So far, the committee has identified significant opportunities for the development of Northern Australia which include expansion of the resources sector, more intensive agriculture, expanded opportunities for horticulture and aquaculture, and more integrated production and processing of livestock. There are great opportunities for irrigated agriculture across the north of Australia, especially in the Kimberley, not only in the Ord River developments which, in stage 3, will spill over into the Northern Territory, but also in the rich black soils of the Fitzroy Plains and in Northern Queensland. The north of Australia really does have the potential to be a food bowl for the ever-growing middle class populations of Asia to our north.
The growth of tourism is seen as another area where expansion is possible, both domestic and international. People travel the world to see things which are unique and different and there are many such attractions in Northern Australia and accordingly the potential for expanding the tourist industry in the north is huge. There is a need for increased educational services with provision of opportunities for international students to come to places like James Cook University and other tertiary education in the north. There is a need for research on health and energy and food production in the tropics and the potential for a more northerly focus of Australia's defence forces, building on current assets in North Queensland and the Northern Territory and concurrently expanding the defence presence on the vulnerable north-west coast, where oil and gas and other developments related to the mineral industry are valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars—arguably the most exposed area in Australia to terrorist attack. Significant opportunities to maximise developments by working with the traditional owners of the land and sea are also noted in the report.
Major impediments to the economic and social development of the north include the absence of economic infrastructure, particularly water, power and transport infrastructure, which in turn impacts upon opportunities for economic development and livability. There is a clear need not only for upgrading but for establishing more east-west road links across the north of Australia, because it is apparent that there exists a community of common interest and similar problems across the north, from the north of WA, to the Northern Territory, to the north of Queensland. The cost of power and water is also a problem which impacts on the cost of doing business and living standards in a range of sectors. People in the north need better access to modern telecommunications, and, without such better access, then the development can only be slower than it would otherwise be.
Land tenure arrangements, which can affect security of investment and options for development, also need to be reviewed. Often the approvals processes in the north are lengthy, which can add to the time and cost of developments and impede outcomes. Inconsistency of processes and requirements between different jurisdictions across the region also need to be addressed so that there is more uniformity. There are high development costs in the north, largely as a result of remoteness and the need to import most production elements. Other issues are the availability and affordability of insurance in the north of Australia, and the need to mitigate weather risks. The high cost of service delivery to small and dispersed populations is also a problem.
Notwithstanding these impediments, the committee believes that there is a way to sustainably develop the north. In the latter half of this inquiry, the committee will identify key development projects, strategies and ways by which governments can stimulate economic development and remove impediments to growth.
In the 1980s an organisation called the North Australia Development Council was set up by the governments of Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland. The NADC, as it was known, held a conference annually in one of these three jurisdictions until the mid-nineties, the last conference being at Exmouth in the north of Western Australia. I attended several of these NADC conferences and, while many great ideas were put forward, little changed. However, the Abbott government has undertaken to implement the recommendations of the final white paper on northern development within 15 years of its presentation.
In conclusion, I would like to thank all those who have provided submissions to the review so far, provided evidence at public hearings and assisted the committee during its extensive inspection program. Finally, I thank my colleagues on the Joint Select Committee on Northern Australia, I commend this report to the Senate, and I seek leave to continue my remarks later.

Beautiful Event Time & Tickets
This event has been marked mature level 1 due to the following, "crack".
Beautiful in Lincoln
Thursday 7:30 PM (daily for 3 times)
Lied Center for Performing Arts
Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll. But it wasn't until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice. BEAUTIFUL – The Carole King Musical tells the inspiring true story of King's remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation. Featuring a stunning array of beloved songs written by Gerry Goffin/Carole King and Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil, including "I Feel The Earth Move," "One Fine Day," "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," "You've Got A Friend" and the title song, BEAUTIFUL has a book by Tony® Award-nominee and Academy® Award-nominated writer Douglas McGrath, direction by Marc Bruni, choreography by Josh Prince and took home two 2014 Tony® Awards and the 2015 Grammy® for Best Musical Theater Album.

For almost 700 years, the Byzantine and Islamic cultures fought for the remains of the Roman Empire, but they also shared many cultural, political and artistic ideas that shaped their societies in many ways. They both drew on ancient Greek philosophy and scholarship, and they were influenced by each other's art and trade, and by a constant flow of converts and refugees that carried ideas with them .
The Byzantine Empire evolved from the Eastern half of the Roman Empire after the Western half, including Rome, was lost in the fifth century. Until the rise of Islam, the Byzantine Empire ruled most of the territory that would become the Islamic world. Islamic civilization was not built by a single group. It developed over the decades under several caliphates, and Turkic and other nomadic groups who converted to Islam and spread its influence. It was the Turks who eventually captured the Byzantine capital Constantinople. At its furthest extent, Islamic rule stretched from Central Asia to North Africa.
Both the Byzantine and Islamic civilizations were greatly influenced by the Greek culture before them. Both Byzantine and Muslim thinkers were influenced by Greek philosophers such as Aristotle and Socrates. Similarly, both Byzantine and Muslim doctors learned from Galen, and some of the Arab innovations in mathematics were based on Pythagoras. Many important Greek texts were translated into Arabic and stored in Muslim libraries.
In addition to these influences, trade between the Byzantine and Islamic civilizations brought about cultural exchange. The First Church of the Monastery of Hosios Loukas demonstrates the fruits of this exchange. One of the distinctive features of Islamic architecture seen in the church is decoration based on Arabic script, rather than decoration representing people or animals. In the same way, Byzantine mosaicists decorated the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem at the invitation of the Muslim rulers. Because of this interchange, Islamic and Byzantine art had many similar features.
Diplomats, refugees, merchants and slaves also crossed the border between the two civilizations and the two religions. Those who resettled in Islamic territory also converted to Islam, and vice versa, but they brought their native cultures with them. Many of these emigrants later returned to their native land. This constant flow of people meant that fashions and innovations from one culture moved quickly to another.
This cultural exchange preserved some elements of the Byzantine Empire after Constantinople's fall. The Greek texts in Arab libraries were translated into Latin during the Renaissance and used by European scholars. At the same time, remnants of Byzantine and Greek culture can be seen in modern-day Constantinople, renamed Istanbul by the Turks. It can be seen in the Hagia Sophia, the famous church that has become a mosque, as well as in many other churches and Byzantine emperors' palaces. Thus, the cultural exchange between the two civilizations enriched and sustained them both.

Six BNP Paribas Asset Management fixed income specialists have left the firm to join Neuberger Berman.
The six investment professionals are based in Paris and Neuberger said the team would enhance its European fixed income capabilities and that it planned to launch new funds.
The team consists of five portfolio managers and one quantitative analyst and is led by Patrick Barbe (pictured), who was BNP Paribas AM's chief investment officer of euro sovereign and aggregate fixed income. While there, he was responsible for the management of about €49 billion in assets.
The portfolio managers are Yanick Loirat, Vito Cavaliere, Antonio Serpico, and Sergejs Prala, and the quantitative analyst is Leang You Tran.
Four of the portfolio managers have worked closely together for over seven years.
Neuberger, whose global fixed income platform manages $133 billion in assets, said it intended to launch a number of European fixed income funds and strategies in the coming months.

Le mont Raymond Rallier du Baty est une montagne des îles Kerguelen dans les Terres australes et antarctiques françaises. Il est situé dans le massif Rallier du Baty sur la péninsule Rallier du Baty et culmine à  d'altitude.

Géographie

Le mont est situé au sud du glacier Jean Brunhes dans le massif Rallier du Baty.

Histoire
Le mont Raymond Rallier du Baty a été identifié pour la première fois par le glaciologue Albert Bauer lors d'une reconnaissance menée vers le glacier Cook en 1961-1962. Il fait référence à Raymond Rallier du Baty qui, avec son frère Henri Rallier du Baty, a longuement exploré l'archipel à deux reprises entre 1908 et 1914 afin d'en établir les cartes. Le mont Henri Rallier du Baty situé à proximité – et constituant le point culminant du massif Rallier du Baty à  – honore quant à lui la mémoire du frère, mort pour la France en 1916.

Thanks for your comments JAKGR8, I am gathering as much information as I can if I have any success or see anything worth sharing will do.
Kids are lazy. My daughter too used to urinate in her room. My husband took the door off for a day and told her she has to earn the right to privacy. It's a hard one regarding the internet. I think this is a serious issue that our service providers need to address. We turn our internet off at night and our daughter cannot turn it on without our knowledge. However I feel in your partners case this would not work, as they would bully her until she turns it on.
Thank you Worrisome, I do like your husbands idea re the door, ours is a Government Rental but provided we put it back in the same state as it was it may be worth trying. Appreciate your comments.
How are things going? You mentioned that you've saved some responses, have you had a chance to try them out yet?
It sounds like you really are trying everything you can @Hootbayne. I have noticed that when parents put in place a new boundary or plan there seems to be a bit of an escalation of the behaviours to try and test out how far things can be pushed. I hope things settle down soon for you all and in the meantime, how are you looking after yourself? Are there any self-care or support strategies you could put in place for yourself? I can only imagine how exhausted you must be!
Hi @Hootbayne it sounds like you are able to get some down time once you return to work each Monday which is good. It must be hard for your partner but at the same time I'm sure she appreciates the support you have been giving. That must be so difficult that he is refusing to attend sessions. I'm wondering what strategies they have provided and if you are finding it helpful? We're here to listen and support you.
Lan-Ro, I (we) appreciate your comments.
There is far more than I have shared, my partner was in a bad relationship, with a mentally abusive (not physically abusive) partner. Finally with assistance they got away, but it did mean they had to leave all their worldly possessions behind (as little as what they had in the first place). There is a lot more but won't go into it now.
Many organisations have endeavoured to help.
My partner is not strong by nature and finds it easier to let him have access and thus have peace and quiet, but there are no one that agree with this.
He became so bad that even she started to take his devices aor turn the internet off.
Sadly she tells me today she has made an agreement with him if he goes to school, then he can have the internet until midnight on non school nights, as all she wants him to do is to ghostwrited to school.
Some of the things they have shared include breathing techniques, circle of trust, providing her funds to purchase a basketball ring and he was told to go outside when he is angry.
She is Asian and although she has been in Australia around 7 years and the boys 5 years, her English is not strong, but recently they have been using interpreters and this has helped her understand what they are saying a little better.
The problem there is that the boys now only understand and speak perfect English and she finds it hard communicating when the eldest boy is argumentative.
Some of the sessions we have attended have shown us that there are plenty with far worse problems than ours, but my biggest worry is that both boys need to catch up to enable them to take advantage of the chances that are there for them should they so wish.
The 13 year old boy is not only sweet, but also never misses school, does well in classes, is loving etc. etc. he loves the town they live in and is in most ways the totally opposite to the elder boy.
@Hootbayne Thank you for sharing more of the context with us - sounds like a lot of different factors and things going impacting the current situation.
Glad to hear that there are some supports involved such as other services, and interpreting - these things can help. The language barrier must make communication so difficult for your partner.
The strategies that you've learnt from the sessions, and the perspective sound all really positive!
As does the behaviour and attitude of the 13 yo.
I think its really understandable to worry about the opportunities that they may be missing out on in the future - but it sounds like taking it one step at a time, is a bit more of a helpful way to think about things at the moment?
Have you ever had a direct conversation about all of this with the older son and his thoughts on what might help?


This week we wanted to share a beautiful video of a friend and one of our maker partners, Samuel Moyer. As you may know, we have several of Sam's pieces at Hudson Woods, including the console table at the entry hall, live oak bench in the great room and custom built kitchen pantry. In this video Sam provides cerebral insights into the life of a craftsman, his design process and where he draws inspiration.


Disclaimer: I've been working through heartbreak still. It's a process. Although I'm much better than a couple months ago, I still work through sadness while diligently pursuing a path of compassion and learning. Each day goes by, and each day, I show up and practice a bit more. I recently purchased a book to work through to help me with processing all the challenges and opportunities of a broken heart. It's called "The Wisdom of a Broken Heart". The book recommends keeping a "Heartbreak Wisdom Journal" as part of the process, with many included activities to get you to see your situation more clearly and tenderly. I've started this journal and thought I would share some of the posts here for anyone else who may benefit from sharing the process of heartbreak.
After starting this yesterday [there was an initial exercise in the book with some basic questions], I had strange dreams in which Lisa told me how little she loved me and for how long that had been the case. It was very upsetting. I think that sitting calmly through my feelings for months and reading many of the same books that inspired Susan Piver's The Wisdom of a Broken Heart have put me several steps ahead of her initial points. However, I realize now that the feelings continue to drag on because I have not fully walked toward them and invited that pain into my tender heart: fully taking up the warrior's heart.
These dreams felt like the opening of a wound–the emotional pus oozed out. The tender flesh underneath has much to heal and much to offer.
When you awaken your heart in this way, you find to your surprise, that your heart is empty. You find that you are looking into outer space. What are you, who are you, where is your heart? If you really look, you won't find anything tangible and solid. Of course, you might find something very solid if you have a grudge against someone or you have fallen possessively in love. But that is not awakened heart. If you search for awakened heart, if you put your hand through your rib cage and feel for it, there is nothing there except for tenderness. You feel sore and soft, and if you open your eyes to the rest of the world, you feel tremendous sadness. This kind of sadness doesn't come from being mistreated. You don't feel sad because you feel impoverished. Rather, this experience of sadness is unconditioned. It occurs because your heart is completely exposed. There is no skin or tissue covering it; it is pure raw meat. Even if a tiny mosquito lands on it, you feel so touched. Your experience is raw and tender and so personal.
Warriors Rejoice at the Great Eastern Sun!
Months ago, I wrote a poem about a scab over my heart. This was right before I had my heart broken completely. Maybe it's time to pick at that scab and reveal the tender flesh beneath… Then again, I think I have already started doing just that.


Mayors Endorse "Parent-Trigger" Efforts Nationwide At their annual conference last month, the U.S. Conference of Mayors endorsed so-called "parent-trigger" laws that enable parents to take over failing schools to implement personnel and program changes. Though the laws are opposed by teachers' unions, support for the laws among the nation's mayors crosses party lines, including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson. Versions of the law are in place in Louisiana, Texas and California, but have yet to be put to practical use. Education News and Reuters provide more coverage of the mayors' positions.
Administration Proposes "Master Teacher Corps" Last week, President Obama announced his plans for a "Master Teacher Corps" to improve student achievement in STEM education. As proposed, the $1 billion program will award high-performing teachers with an additional $20,000 in annual salary for multiple-year commitments. The administration has requested $1 billion from Congress for the program in its FY2013 budget, and in the meantime will make $100 million available immediately from an existing fund. Initially, the program will have 2,500 teachers in 50 different sites, and will is slated to grow to 10,000 teachers of over the next four years. For reactions from various education organizations, see here, and for more coverage of the program, visit here.
Affordable Care Act Facts With the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act (ACA) coming last month, some of the misinformation surrounding the law's implementation has come back to the forefront, encouraged by certain pundits and politicians. For instance, businesses with fewer than 25 full time employees are not required to provide health insurance and there is no penalty if they don't. Moreover, new tax credits could help out businesses that do provide insurance. For further facts about the ACA and how it impacts business, visit healthcare.gov or check Politifact.com for information on specific claims.

The Biography of General George S. Patton: Ian V. Hogg
Patton's aggression and theatrical personality made his units the most successful and efficient and he believed that it should be his Army that should lead the Allied attacks. This brought him into constant conflict with Eisenhower and Montgomery, with Patton doing nothing to hide his belief that he would win the war if properly supported. He expected the same aggression from his men and was probably the best American field commander in the European theatre.

The Bone Man of Kokoda: Charles Happell
Kokichi Nishimura was a member of the 2nd battalion, 144th regiment of the Japanese Imperial Army. In 1942 he fought every foot of the Kokoda Track as the Japanese attempted to take Port Moresby and was the only man from his platoon to survive the campaign. Finally he retreated, wounded and starving, leaving thousands of his comrades buried in shallow graves along the Track. He promised that he would one day return to them and bring them home to Japan for proper burial. He married, had three children and started an engineering business which prospered. But his driving ambition was to return to New Guinea to keep his promise. In 1979, nearing retirement age, he shocked his family by giving his business to his sons, his house and all his assets to his wife and he returned to New Guinea to begin his search for the remains of Japanese soldiers. For the next 25 years Nishimura lived alone in huts and tents along the Kokoda Track and using a mattock, a shovel, a metal detector and an indomitable will, he found the bones of hundreds of his comrades and also forged a new comradeship and new purpose in helping the poverty-stricken Papuans he worked amongst. An incredible story. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
The Colonel Of Tamarkan – Philip Toosey And The Bridge On The River Kwai: Julie Summers
It was at Dunkirk that Toosey's charisma and fortitude were first noted and in 1941 he was given command of an artillery regiment. Sent to fight in the Far East he and his men were embroiled in the battle for Singapore and were taken prisoner after the island's fall in 1942. The Japanese, scornful of the Allied forces for surrendering, determined to make use of the new workforce now at their disposal. Toosey was sent to Thailand to command the 'bridge camp' at Tamarkan where he was ordered to supervise the construction of two railway bridges over the river Khwae Mae Khlong. Starvation rations and harsh working conditions mean that dysentery and cholera were rife and a quarter of the 60,000 prisoners working on the Burma Railway wold perish. Toosey insisted on high standards of hygiene and discipline, giving back the men their self-respect and making himself a buffer for the cruel excesses if the guards. The author is Toosey's grand-daughter. Illustrated with black and white photographs and sketches.
The Goebbels Diaries: Translated by Louis P. Lochner
When the Russians overran Berlin in 1945 they went through the German official archives with more vigour than discrimination. Some material was shipped to Russia, some was destroyed and the rest scattered and trampled. The pages of Goebbel's diary were found in the ministry courtyard, having narrowly escaped burning. Seven thousand sheets of unburnt paper was salvaged by an amateur junk dealer, who salvaged the official document binders and made random bundles of the paper. To get the diary in order was a Herculean task. Here is not only the diary, but other odd documents of Goebbel's life: receipts, drafts of speeches, expense accounts, lists of charity donations and letters.
The Hinge Factor: Erik Derschmied
From the Wooden Horse of Troy to the Gulf War, military history has been as much marked by chance and error as gallantry and heroism. Here is an entertaining observation that shows how many conflicts have been decided by the caprices of weather, bad intelligence or individual incompetence. In military terms, the incident that swings a battle from victory to defeat in a moment is known as the Hinge Factor. Features: Agincourt, Waterloo, Balaclava, The Bismarck, the Gulf War and many other crucially historic military moments.
The Holy Fox: Andrew Roberts
The life of Lord Halifax, remembered as the architect of the policy of achievement of Nazi Germany. His meeting with Hitler in 1937 was a milestone in appeasement yet just days before the 1938 Munich conference, Halifax repudiated the policy and demanded the destruction of Nazism. By May 1940, it was he rather than Churchill who was the choice for Britain's war leader. His public life also included Viceroy of India from 1926 - 31 and a deal with Gandhi that ended the Civil Disobedience campaign before it could force the British to quit.
The Last Battle: Cornelius Ryan
From the author of The Longest Day. On Monday, April 16, 1945, an artillery barrage announced the opening Russian attack against Berlin. Russian troops were less than thirty-eight miles from Berlins centre. In fourteen days Hitler would be dead. In twenty-one days, the war would be over. Forty-five miles to the west, advance units of the U.S. Ninth army were angrily and reluctantly turning back. Berlin was no longer a military objective. This book is the story of three weeks in which the city of Berlin - gutted, smouldering, terrorised, yet miraculously still alive - was the focal point of millions of lives: the last obstacle of the triumphant Allies, the last defence for the Germans and the last refuge for Hitler. Illustrated with black and white photos.
The Naked Island: Russell Braddon
The author has written the full length story of the Malayan campaign of World War II from the 'sharp end' of the fighting and as a prisoner-of-war, one of thousands who suffered for three years. He takes the reader through bewildering, disordered days and nights of fighting to humiliation at the hands of the Japanese, versed in all the arts of abasing and breaking prisoners by starvation and neglect. The illustrations by fellow prisoner Ronald Searle (St. Trinians, Down With Skool,Whizz For Atomms, How To Be Top, etc.) are poignant, forceful and make reality even more real. This really is war and imprisonment as it happened.
The North African War: Warren Tute
Churchill said that the North African War was the hinge of fate. This book is a vivid description of the entire campaign: three years, thousands of miles, over a millions Allied and Axis troops and thousands of ships, tanks and aircraft.

Sidney Corrie passed away suddenly at his home on Thursday, April 26th. He touched countless lives throughout his journey and was loved and admired by many. We were all inspired by his positive "can-do" spirit through all the ups and downs of life.

Here's what I read in May!
Fangirl – Rainbow Rowell – 4 stars I liked it! This is a YA contemporary romance, about a – you guessed it – fangirl adjusting to university (college, if you're American) life. I'd heard so much about it beforehand that it didn't quite live up to my expectations, but it was very sweet and enjoyable nonetheless.
Reached – Ally Condie – 2 stars This is the third book in the 'Matched' series. It's a YA dystopian romance, and there's this controlling society but it's ok because this perfect teenage couple are fighting the system, but then there's this love triangle…sorry what? That sounds like every other book ever? You're not wrong. I think I should have just left it; 'Matched' was the only book of this series that I actually liked.
Outlander – Diana Gabaldon – 3 stars I'd heard a lot about this one too! It's a historical romance novel…I think? There's this whole time travel thing going on, which is quite cool, but in the end the book was so long I kind of stopped caring. It is set in Scotland though, which is where I'm from!
I have no idea why there are only four books in this list. Anyway, if you've read any of these books, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks for reading, and have a lovely day.

Kicking it up in the Deh Cho

Seems people think it's worth the trip to Fort Liard to play some soccer and judging by the numbers, it's becoming one of the places to go for the beautiful game.

Six communities from two territories took to the gymnasium floor at Echo Dene School for the fourth annual Fort Liard 4-on-4 Soccer Tournament, which wrapped up on Nov. 26. In addition to seven teams from the host community, there were entries from Ndilo, Hay River, Wekweeti, Fort Providence and two teams from Whitehorse.
Sophie Kirby, the community's manager of wellness and recreation, said the numbers were actually up this year.
"We had 15 teams last year and it just seems to keep getting bigger," she said. "It's more work to try and organize it but it's a good problem to have because it shows just how popular it's become."
The tournament was held under traditional indoor soccer rules, which allows for balls to be played off the wall, unlike futsal, which is the way a lot of indoor soccer is going. Every division was co-ed and each team had to have at least one female on their roster.
"I was contacted by NWT Soccer to see if we wanted to use futsal rules but not yet," she said. "We may think about going with futsal rules next year."
Fort Liard F was the third-place finisher in the Fort Liard 4-on-4 Soccer Tournament's U19 division. They are, from left, Leona Berreault, William Sassie, Tyrone Berreault, James Duntra and Abby Duntra.
There were four divisions in play throughout the weekend and all but the U12 division handed out banners. Whitehorse won out in the U14 division thanks to a win over Ndilo in that final while Ndilo got a bit of revenge for the community by defeating Fort Liard E in the title contest. Hay River took a banner down the highway after defeating Ndilo in that final.
As for the U12 division, Kirby said they focused more on practice and fun as opposed to any sort of games.
"It was all teams from Fort Liard and they're in the skill development phase still," she said.
When it comes to Whitehorse, this was their first trip to the tournament and Kirby said it was nice to see them leave with a banner but they were also involved in some excitement in the U16 division.
"Whitehorse and Fort Liard were actually tied after the round-robin and had to have a shootout to see who would finish first," she said.
Fort Liard went on to win it but not the division, unfortunately.
With so many teams in this year's tournament, Kirby said it's tough to see how it can get any bigger than it already is.
"I think 20 is probably the most we could host," she said. "We just don't have enough room to accommodate any more, unfortunately, and scheduling everything is really tough. But I'm so happy to see how many people want to come here. We're doing something right."

But good branding doesn't happen by accident. It begins with having clarity about a promise — a commitment made to your audiences. That clarity in turn provides organizations permission to develop compelling marketing and communications that support the promise.
At Wall-to-Wall Studios (W|W) we define "brand" as that core promise, that unassailable vision, of an organization that helps establish a reputation formed by those who interact with it. This is at the heart of every great brand and it should inspire the organization and its stakeholders. The brand promise should drive everything a business does, from operations to hiring decisions to marketing.
W|W believes that brand-driven organizations deliver a distinct experience; owning that experience and making it unique, is key. Success relies upon understanding and knowing that core, unique brand promise... and aligning all of the brand signals behind it. This is called building brand currency.
By making emotional connections with your core audiences, you are developing a loyal tribe composed of raving fans. Those powerful connections will influence their decision-making much more than a large advertising campaign.
The formative work begins by developing the brand strategy — the framework for the intentional, strategic communication of all messages and signals that deliver on the promise. The strategy captures and articulates core insights about the brand's DNA and aspirations, and clearly positions the brand to ensure that the promise is consistently expressed by the staff and consistently experienced by all audiences. The brand strategy articulates the messaging and communication architecture to ensure that whether in direct engagement with a customer or prospect, or online/print, each touch-point sets an expectation and perception of value, both internally with employees at every level, and externally with all audiences. Each touch-point is an opportunity to deliver a positive brand experience — one that is unique and relevant, and forms an emotional connection. Over time, these experiences build trust, brand loyalty and intrinsic value.
The W|W process starts by investing in a capacity building, brand-driven workshop that helps get the client team properly oriented around the notion of brand. More often than not, W|W finds the client stakeholder group managing a branding initiative to have limited experience on such an endeavor. While they certainly bring deep domain expertise to the conversation, some upfront capacity building around brand is essential.
Next, W|W facilitates a series of interactive exercises engineered to encourage candid sharing from the client team that will help W|W understand and rank topics as: personality, audience, tone, design, measuring success, economic drivers and more. The immersion phase continues as W|W conducts an audit of the existing brand/marketing elements, communications and organizational environment. This, and other discussions with key personnel will help W|W develop a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) that will be used to gain first hand knowledge of the business. These methods, along with any subsequent materials provided by the Client (research, strategic plans, etc.) will form the basis of understanding and foundation for designing the brand strategy.
Great brands deliver on three fronts: by being different, relevant and simple. In this case, simple means accessible to audiences and stakeholders. It is important to avoid over-engineering your brand story into a complicated narrative that no one can understand. Don't make it hard for someone to become a vocal brand ambassador that is proud member of your tribe.
Branding initiatives with Trade / Member Associations & Development Organizations as the PA Chamber of Business and Industry, Pennsylvania Credit Union Association, Pennsylvania Municipal League and the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh.
Formative digital and brand experiences in the Healthcare / Medical space with UPMC, Heritage Valley Heath System, Gateway Health, St. Clair Hospital, Cook MyoSite, Adagio Health and the Midwife Center.
Integrated brand projects in the Higher Education market with Carnegie Mellon University, PASSHE, University of Pittsburgh, Waynesburg University, Susquehanna University, St. Vincent College, Eastern University and many others. In particular, over a 10+ year period of creative collaboration with multiple organizations at CMU, W|W produced impactful communication pieces that helped raise the profile of the University, raise $1 billion and recruit more students (than ever before) while organically developing the institutional brand.

LAMB OF GOD's JOHN CAMPBELL Says 'There Needs To Be A Vaccine' Before He Will 'Feel Comfortable' Performing Live Again
LAMB OF GOD bassist John Campbell spoke to the "Iron City Rocks" podcast about how he is dealing with the coronavirus crisis and what the touring circuit might look like post-pandemic. Asked when thinks LAMB OF GOD will be able to return to the road, he said: "Let me first just say I'm one dude, but for me to feel comfortable to have people gather by the thousands for us to perform, there needs to be a vaccine. We can't put people in danger, we can't continue to spread [the virus].
"It seems to me very simple how to handle this, but it doesn't seem that we, as humans, are really doing that," he added.
Regarding what he has been doing to "stay sane" amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Campbell said: "I find myself getting stressed out quite a bit, and what I try to do is change what I'm focusing on and do some physical exertion. As a matter of fact, I just was getting very frustrated and I stopped what I was doing and did some push-ups and kind of tidied up my place a little bit, just to get my mind away from it and to get out of that moment and to not attach to that negativity."
LAMB OF GOD's self-titled album was released on June 19 via Epic Records in the U.S. and Nuclear Blast Records in Europe. The follow-up to 2015's "VII: Sturm Und Drang" marks the band's first recordings with Art Cruz, who joined LOG last year as the replacement for the group's founding drummer, Chris Adler.
"Lamb Of God" was recorded with longtime producer Josh Wilbur (KORN, MEGADETH, GOJIRA, TRIVIUM) and includes special guest appearances by Jamey Jasta (HATEBREED) and Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT).

Hello and Happy Humpday Everyone. Today's Look is one of my faves at the moment. This simple and grey dress can be combined in so many ways – at the beach, at a night out with some cute heels or wedges or even for a shopping marathon with your bestie.
I shot this look on a really warm day last week. It totally felt like summer. Me and my other half went downtown by our bikes, enjoyed a yummy salad at Dean and David and went for a little stroll. Have you guys ever tried Dean and David for a salad? I love those fresh offer there. Even though it's a german franchise company the food is so delicious. I often go there in summer time to have a lighter lunch or dinner.
Let me know if you have ever tried and share your experiences. I'm about to go to work now. Will talk to you later and enjoy a little sunshine right now. 😉 Happy Wednesday, xo Paula.

How to Watch Tonight's 'Blood Moon' Total Lunar Eclipse
The phrase "blood moon" is absolutely meaningless, but tonight's lunar eclipse should still be pretty amazing!
https://www.pcmag.com/news/how-to-watch-tonights-blood-moon-total-lunar-eclipse
This year has been filled with a lot of big events: a satellite landed on a friggin' comet, Apple released a giant friggin' iPhone, and George friggin' Clooney finally got friggin' married! 2014 was also a year in which there was not one but two total lunar eclipses visible from North America—the second of which will take place later tonight (or very early tomorrow morning, depending on where you are).
Those in the middle of the Pacific Ocean will have the best view, but U.S. readers in the contiguous 48 states will have tickets to the show as well, though at far less convenient start times.
The action will begin for West Coast skywatchers at 1:17 a.m. PT and the whole process will have run its course by 6:32 a.m. On the East Coast, the events won't begin until 4:17 a.m. ET, but the process will barely have kicked into high gear before the scheduled 7:01 moonset. While they won't get to see the finale, viewers on the East Coast (with a clear view of the horizon) will have the unique opportunity to watch an eclipsing moon setting below the horizon, which should be a treat in and of itself.
Unlike fainter astronomical events such as meteor showers, viewers in urban areas will be able to watch the whole event without leaving town—if you can see the full moon under normal conditions, you will be able to see a lunar eclipse. Those on the East Coat, however, should keep in mind that they will want to have as clear a view of the western horizon as possible.
The only thing that will hinder most people in the eclipse-viewing area from catching the show is cloud cover. If nature isn't cooperating in your location, you can follow online with crowdsourced astronomical team Slooh's live eclipse coverage, which is embedded below. Additionally, NASA will offer a livestream of the eclipse on its Ustream page, which will include a live Web chat beginning at 3 a.m. ET to answer any questions.
Blood Moons Aren't Really a Thing
A total eclipse is what happens when the moon dives into the darkest part of the Earth's shadow or umbra. When this happens, the moon doesn't simply fade into the dark sky, but rather it slowly transitions from bright white into a deep reddish-orange hue.
This reddening is the result of sunlight refracting through the Earth's atmosphere. Usually the direct light from the sun "washes" out this refracted light, but during a lunar eclipse this refracted red light is the only thing illuminating the lunar surface and thus is why the moon appears to turn red.
You may have seen many in the media dubbing tonight's event a "blood moon," just as they did with eclipse in April. Let's get something clear: This term doesn't have any actual astronomical significance—all total lunar eclipses turn a deep blood reddish hue. This happens during ev-er-y eclipse. But the phrase "blood moon" sounds spooky and has recently been co-opted by the fire-and-brimstone crowd so, we're kind of stuck with this meaningless nothing-phrase.
So there you go: blood moons.
But unlike April's eclipse, tonight's "blood moon" will occur directly after the moon's perigee, or the closest point in its orbit around the Earth, which means that the moon will appear similar in size to the so-called "supermoon." In fact, according to CNN, tonight's lunar eclipse will appear 5.3 percent larger than the one back in April.
There are usually around two lunar eclipses per year, but they're not visible to all parts of the Earth. According to Slooh's astronomy team, North America won't get to see two total lunar eclipses in the same year until 2022. That's another two presidential administrations away!
If you do miss tonight's events for some reason (sleep, for example), don't worry, there will be another, more conveniently timed, total lunar eclipse visible from North America in September 2015.
