President Gives Press Conference… In Rain… Under Umbrella-ella-ella!
By Not The Worst News on May 16, 2013 • ( 0 )
Today, U.S. President Barack Obama held a press conference, in which a marine held an umbrella over his head. According to CNN, this is rarely done. Presumably because the President of the United States rarely speaks outside in the rain, because he can watch weather forecasts on CNN and stay inside when there's a chance of rain, rather than get blown around in a hurricane like Anderson Cooper or former CNN reporter Ali Velshi.
3 Other People We'd Like To See Hold An Umbrella For The President
1. Jay-Z and Rihanna. Because if the image of the President with an umbrella is worthy of front page news on the Fox News site, then why not make it bigger news! The kind of big news like, "Ah, man, I just got this song unstuck from my head after five years and here it is on every cable news program!"
2. The Bee Girl from the Blind Melon Video. She's good at dancing around to promises of no rain, and as we wrote last year, we hear she's looking for work!
3. An Umbrella Salesman Selling "Made In America" Umbrellas To Protect The President From Polluted Rain Made In Southeast Asia.
That would be a rare sight indeed! Rarer than a new episode of the Office, as the final episode airs tonight on NBC. Farewell to the Office from Not The Worst News!

Caroline Dahl – A Boogie Woogie State Of Mind | Album Review
Caroline Dahl – A Boogie Woogie State Of Mind
Hexadact Records – 2020
www.boogiewoogiepianoplayer.com
12 tracks; 46.20 minutes
Pianist Caroline Dahl is a native of Kentucky but has made San Francisco her home for thirty years, playing both solo and in bands. On her latest disc she is joined by a slew of Bay Area stalwarts, including two rhythm sections: Steve Parks on electric bass (and vocals on three songs) plays with former Robert Cray drummer Kevin Hayes, Joe Kyle Jr's acoustic bass is paired with Tommy Castro's current drummer Bowen Bowen; Jeff Ervin plays saxes on all bar one cut. Caroline wrote six originals and arranged two medleys of standards and there are four diverse covers.
The originals include the solo piano pieces "Devil Digits Boogie Woogie" and "River City Boogie Woogie" and Caroline also adapts a theme from Czech composer Smetana and combines it with a Russian feel on "Die Moldau/Moscow Nights Boogie", the latter part of the tune very much like Kenny Ball's Trad Jazz success "Midnight In Moscow" from 1961. All four of these solo pieces give ample demonstration of Caroline's prowess at the piano and there are further reminders of the style we are in with the appropriately entitled opener "Call To Boogie" and the excellent "Bellingham Boogie" which might just be the standout track with some exuberant sax playing. There was an era when blues and jazz were very much part of the same spectrum and the bright "King Cobra Club" reminds us of how close the two genres can be while "Payday" sounds as happy as people are when that particular time comes around!
The covers begin with a title that could well be applied to Caroline herself, Doc Pomus' classic "Boogie Woogie Country Girl" and a stately run through Big Jay McNeeley's "There Is Something On Your Mind" works well with Steve's expressive vocal and Jeff's sax work to the fore, Caroline adding some very bluesy piano frills. Charles Davenport's "Cow Cow Blues" dates back to 1925 and also going back to between the wars is a fun medley of "When You're Smiling/Sheik Of Araby" which features some excellent sax work from Jeff and short features for Joe's acoustic bass and Bowen using brushes before Caroline returns to the blues with Muddy Waters' "Red Beans" which readers may be familiar with from Marcia Ball's version.
This was a very enjoyable disc to review, fine playing and quite exhausting if you allow your toes to tap throughout! One should also note that Caroline is multi-talented as she is also an award-winning fabric artist, one example of her work being the cover of this album which name-checks heroes of the piano such as Albert Ammons, Meade Lux-Lewis, Professor Longhair and Pinetop Perkins. Check out that aspect of her talents at www.carolinedahl.com.

Key players step up in Georgia Tech win
By nateslack5 November 7, 2012 BYU Cougars Ezekial Ansah football georgia tech Jamaal Williams Kyle Van Noy yellow jackets
By Nate Slack
Yes, I know, it's a little late, but it's always nice to get a slight review coming off of a bye week. Due to Saturday being the final home game of the season, I figured this would be appropriate.
After losing back-to-back games in the final 5 minutes against two Top 10 teams, BYU finally put together the pieces of brilliance that fans have seen glimpses of all season. The previous 2 weeks had felt like 2 months, and many local media gurus had began to question what the coaches and players were capable of demonstrating on the field. But star players made star plays in what was arguably the biggest gut check of the season, winning 41-27 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Kyle Van Noy and Ziggy Ansah were major contributors on the defense, that held yet another opponent to no offensive touchdowns. Van Noy was only credited with one tackle but brought plenty of pressure on Georgia Tech quarterbacks Tevin Washington and Vad Lee. Van Noy also blocked a punt that brought all momentum onto BYU's side, momentum that BYU never gave back. Ziggy had quite the contribution. (Sometimes it's hard to believe that he really couldn't put his own football pads 3 years ago.) Ziggy racked up 8 tackles (5 solo) and 1 sack last Saturday. A big play from Ansah that doesn't show up on paper, but should, was the pressure he put on Washington that forced the Georgia Tech quarterback into throwing a near-pick 6 to Daniel Sorenson. Jamaal Williams later scored from 2 yards out.
Williams has seemed to be the star of the 2012 football season. The injury to Michael Alisa early in the year went nearly unnoticed when Williams took over, and no one has looked back. Falling just 1 touchdown short of tying the BYU record for touchdowns in a game, the freshman sensation ran 28 times for 107 yards for 3 touchdowns and added 3 receptions for 54 yards and 1 touchdown to that. Williams is now 484 yards away from having a 1000-yard season, and that's not something too far out of reach. Sometimes, it is hard to believe that he is only 17 years old. How many 17 year olds have you heard of that have had 1,000 yards rushing?
Even though the media, opposing fans, and even some Cougar fans are ripping the remainder of the schedule, it's still an opportunity to watch BYU play. The improvements made by the team since the Utah and Boise State games have been fun to watch even though I'm pretty sure we all wish they had come earlier. With only 3, probably 4 games left in the season, it's time to sit back and enjoy some football. There's still a quarter of the games left.
Senior Night kickoff vs Idaho is at 8:15 MST and will be shown on ESPNU.

Hello, new member here. First time post. Been away from hunting, reloading, and shooting for 20 yrs. life and the job got in the way. It?s time to renew the passion.
My question.... will a 240 grain Keith style SWC handloaded to 1200 FPS out of a 7.5 inch Ruger SBH be a good load for hogs? I would like to practice with my hunting load, and it would be a plus to keep my ammo costs down. If this load would not be a good idea, what would you recommend?
Welcome! Yes, I'd think that load will more than suffice.
Welcome, looks like you have it covered!
A 240gr SWC @ 1,200 FPS IN 44 OR 45 SHUD WORK ALL DAY LONG ON HOGS AND NOT WEAR YOU OR THE GUN OUT.
Welcome. I agree with 45MAN, in a 44 mag the 240 grain bullets are my favorite. They work great on whitetails and hogs. Still shot placement is key.
The key word here I see is handloaded. First off welcome to the forum, and it sounds like you are using a 44 mag. That load will work as long as you do your part. I like to see you discussing practice. Practice with a little lighter load can be very beneficial. and since you are handloading: Another load that is handy for a lot of things is the 250 gr cast with 10grs of Unique. It will be a little more friendly in the recoil department and possibly make things a little cheaper. Going up to the heavyweight 310gr Lee and the RCBS 300gr SWC are both cast, and good bullets. If you need help finding these (already cast) PM me.
Shot placement is paramount so good luck with the practice.
Welcome to the forum. As the others have said, this load should get the job done on hogs if you do your part and place it through the vitals. There is a wealth of information on this site in the pages of forum threads and articles. Glad you joined us!
Thank you all for your words of encouragement. Yes I will be using a 44 mag. Practice is everything, and the plan is to shoot 50-75 full power loads a week at an 8 inch steel gong. Went today and had a fun day, first time shooting in a very long time. I?ve always practiced with cast bullets , and hunted with jacketed ones. Have looked hard at the load of 10 hrs of unique , thank you, but was a little worried about trajectory. I plan to practice out to 100 yards, but didn?t think the unique load. Would not be flat enough shooting for that range. Would a heavy 300 grain cast bullet be a better choice? I want one load, to make things simple. Once I?m sighted in, it?s done..... reload ammo, shoot, and repeat. Any thoughts on that idea?
Thanx again for the feedback.

6 Tips for Having the 'Career Talk' With Your Kids
This important advice could help your kids jump-start their careers.
Roy Cohen
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Kids need information to make good decisions. This is particularly true when it comes to careers. Without exposure to ideas and options they tend to either avoid making the decision or, more often than not, they select a career direction on a whim which has little basis in genuine interest or ability.
As parents, conversations with our kids about careers can be frustrating for a number of obvious reasons. Typically, we approach the conversation as an afterthought ("hey, maybe I need to talk about this stuff before it's too late"), or as a problem ("my kid isn't motivated or is lacking in direction"). Rarely do we look at this as an opportunity or as a proactive step. Likely because many of us didn't have a career plan for ourselves or because the path seemed obvious. Or, alternatively, our kids' reaction will be unpredictable; heightened sensitivity that leads to an argument or radio silence.
But as high school and college graduations approach and the kids prepare to leave for school or to enter the real world, now may be the best time to talk about careers. Not to establish deadlines or conditions but, rather, to plant seeds and to encourage.
Here are six recommendations on how to have the "career" talk:
1. Ask open ended questions. When we ask a yes or no question, we should expect a yes or no response. Do you have a career plan? No. A career goal? No. A resume? No. Quickly we reach a dead end. Instead, think about what would motivate you to talk and to explore creatively if you were in their shoes. Questions like: When you consider jobs and careers what sorts of things come to mind? Or: Tell me about what courses you most enjoy. I wonder what people who enjoy those courses can do professionally? Or: When you and your friends talk about jobs and careers what most interests you? The goal is simply to get them to think and, over time, begin to establish a career identity.
2. Provide support and encouragement. Our kids will face far more change and many more career challenges than we, as parents, have ever experienced. Explain that they will not be judged if they falter and that the only way to figure life out sometimes is to try many different things. Ask them what you can do to help them think through and navigate this process.
3. Collaborate but don't direct. Telling your kids what to do and how to do it is like giving them the solution to a problem without explaining how it was arrived at. There is absolutely zero benefit or learning. If you always do the heavy lifting they will never learn to do it on their own.
4. Ultimatums will backfire. When you threaten your children with punishment, they will either tell you what you want to hear or dig their heels in and do nothing. Figuring out career direction is tough for most of us. It takes time and it doesn't necessarily happen under pressure. But the more they do the more likely they will achieve career insight sooner.
5. Encourage your kids to make the most of their college career office and alumni services. Besides hosting companies that interview on campus, career offices provide resources for career assessment and counseling as well job boards for summer, part time, and permanent positions. They also help alumni with job search and career management. The alumni affairs office and the school's LinkedIn alumni page offer access to graduates who work in virtually every career and industry. Networking with these folks is great for information gathering and for an occasional reality check. Better to figure out early that you are not well-suited for a career or job before you get attached to an idea and commit significant financial resources and time.
6. Introduce the concept of careers as early as possible. As younger children, take them to work and explain how you spend your time and why. Encourage their school to host career information events where many different professions are represented. The goal is not to convince them to pursue your career or to feel pressure to make a decision. It is to expose them to the concept of jobs and careers and to help them grow into a direction that feels right. Above and beyond all else, make it fun. When they think that work will be a burden or never a satisfying experience they will avoid wanting to deal with it.

Jeremy Mathieu accepts a bust in Club
February 5, 2015 Lionel Messi News 0 Comments
Barcelona defender Jeremy Mathieu has accepted that the club witnessed a bust up between manager Luis Enrique and superstar Lionel Messi in the training ground. There have been rumours about this bust up over the last few weeks, but this is the first time a player from Barcelona has confirmed the incident.Mathieu tried to downplay the significance of the event were saying that such incidents of common at big clubs. It is understood that the bust up happened just days after the club returned from their winter break. Messi responded angrily to some comments from Enrique and the situation escalated from there.
Mathieu says that Enrique had a word with Messi while the team had returned from training and into the dressing room. It is learnt that the bust up happened just two days before the season resumed with a league match against Real Sociedad. Shockingly, this match ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Catalan club and they missed a great opportunity to close the gap at the top of the table given that Madrid also lost that weekend. The failure to take advantage of Real Madrid's slip sees Barcelona one point behind the table leaders albeit having played a game more.
"It was when we got back from holiday. Suddenly, for a foul that wasn't given, 'Leo' blew his top. Things got tense, they said a few things to each other.The coach came to speak to him in the dressing room afterwards and that's that. It happens at every club, but because it's Barcelona, it's made out to be a huge thing. That's the problem," saidMathieu. Messi's performances have escalated since then with the superstar scoring goals in just six matches while also contributing through three assists. This has helped Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey.
Goals, Jeremy Mathieu, Lionel

New condos pickering . Take stock of the historical landmarks of Duoshi's transformation into high-rise apartments
New condos pickering . Take stock of the historical landmarks of Duoshi's transformation into high-rise apartments. Times are constantly changing, and great changes are taking place in the retail industry. Consumers prefer to shop online and visit brick-and-mortar stores less and less.
Many shopping malls or shops that were once popular were gradually eliminated by the times and were eventually purchased by real estate developers and then demolished and redeveloped into high-rise residential buildings.
Honest Ed's, known as the "three-story" department store, is located at the junction of Bloor Street West Street and Bathurst Street Street on the west side of the city. It occupies an area of 1.8ha and is one of the landmarks of Toronto. It was founded in 1948 by Edwin Mirvish, a Toronto charity merchant. Apart from its reputation for cheap goods, the store is most familiar with the annual free distribution of Christmas turkeys. When Ma Weishu died in 2007, his son David Mirvish inherited the estate. In 2013, the three-story building was sold to Vancouver-based property developer Westbank, until 2016, when New Year's Eve, the 68-year-old store, officially closed. The developer will develop into a Mirvish Village with a number of high-rise and high-rise residential buildings at the site, with more than 855 units, which is expected to be completed in 2022.
Galleria Shopping Center, located in the Wallace Emerson community in the city center, was built in 1972. Because there are many large supermarket chains, such as Price Chopper, Zellers and so on, it used to be a daily shopping hot spot for residents in the area. In 2015, developer Elad Canada bought the site and plans to create a large mixed commercial and residential community called Galleria on the Park. On the 8-acre site, eight high-rise condominiums will be built, as well as community centers, parks, offices and shops. At present, the first two buildings of the first phase are already in the pre-sale stage and are expected to be completed in 2023. When all residential buildings are completed, 3400 residential units will be provided in the district.
Plant World, once a favorite for horticulturists, is located in Eglinton Avenue West Royal York Road, Yitaobigu City, covering an area of about 5 acres. It officially closed its business last September. Lanterra Developments, the real estate developer who bought the land, is planning to build a condominium community Notting Hill Condos consisting of four residential buildings, retail stores, parks, etc. The project is now in the pre-sale stage and is expected to be occupied in 2024 and will provide 1320 residential units upon completion.
Since the 1980s, red brick buildings located between the Annex and Yorkville communities have become the hub of the interior design industry. Trade professionals, architects, interior designers, etc., have all developed their careers on this site made up of five buildings. Real estate developer Cityzen Development Group, with the help of construction company BBB Architects, designed the building into a 92-unit condominium building called Designers Walk Condos. Because each terrace is designed to be full of plants, it is called the first vertical forest building in the country.
World's Biggest Bookstore, within walking distance of the shopping mall Eaton Centre, is not the largest bookstore in the world, but it is also one of the famous landmarks of Toronto. The bookstore opened in 1980 and closed in 2014. Real estate developer Lifetime Developments bought the site and converted it into a condominium project called Panda Condos, a 30-story building with a total of 555 units. At present, the construction project is in full swing and is expected to be occupied in May 2021.
Cumberland Terrace, which is located in the prime location of Yorkville, used to be a popular shopping hot spot for residents and consumers in the district, but with the changes of the times, the pattern of the shop has become old and out of vitality, and there are fewer and fewer visitors. Both sides of the mall are also being rebuilt into condominium buildings, making the mall even more disjointed. The renovation plan of the property developer Kingsett Capital is to convert the site into a Cumberland Square with three residential buildings, which will provide more than 1500 flats upon completion.
The red-roofed mall in Yonge and Cummer in North York has a history of more than half a century. it is a good place for residents to buy daily necessities and food, especially on weekends. In 2017, China Olympic Park International Aoyuan International acquired the site to develop the well-planned community M2M Condos, which occupies an area of 8.6 acres. The plan includes five condominium buildings, commercial and retail stores, community centers, child care centres, and so on.

Seriously, be strong and know when enough is enough. Take your stand, speak up and refuse to let others hurt you. Throughout your lifetime some people will discredit you, disrespect you and treat you poorly for no apparent reason at all. Don't consume yourself with trying to change them or win their approval. And don't make any space in your heart to hate them. You don't have control over what others think about you, but you do have control over how you decide to internalize their opinions. Leave them to their own judgements. Let people love you who they want you to be. Or let them walk away if they choose. They can't harm you either way; it's their understanding that is faulty, not yours.

This beach was made famous in the James Bond films " On his Majesty's Secret Service" where James Bond saves the Contessa Teresa de Vicenzo from a suicide attempt . The beach is still as it was in 1969 . In the '90s , the guincho beach was one of the location for the World Cup Windsurfing Championship. Nowadays , various sporting events occur regularly in Guincho , including the National Championships Surf and Bodyboard .
Located in Estoril , near the rail - way station, Tamariz beach is the most cosmopolitan in Cascais . Separated by the gardens of the Casino Estoril Marginal Road and rail line , is a tourist attraction of the region , bringing together various bars and clubs . Located next to the train and bus stations , it is one of the favourite destinations for those using public transport . It is located 450 meters from Hotel Londres.
The Azarujinha beach is the smallest in São João do Estoril , hidden at the bottom of a high cliff behind houses that line the Avenida Marginal .
The only pedestrian access is through the tunnel/walkway to the beach Pool. In addition to this access , there are two staircases , one on each end of the beach , connecting to Avenida Marginal . From the top of these stairs one can admire a magnificent view across the coast of Cascais .
The Moitas Beach Is situated between Cascais and Estoril , near the Monte Estoril train station.
The area , however , is rocky , forcing holidaymakers to enter cautiously into the sea and watch where they put their feet, so as not to get hurt .
Being situated on the pedestrian walway , halfway between Cascais and Estoril , the beach area has no parking and is accessible via a short walk or bike .
The Beach Pool is located in São João do Estoril , at one end of the promenade which stretches to Cascais . Is served by a small car park which has direct access to the Avenida Marginal .
The Duquesa Beach , is situated at the entry of Cascais, between the Palace of the Dukes of Palmela and Chalet Faial , who served as former judge in the court of Cascais . The name of the beach is due precisely to the fact that it was used by the Duchess of Palmela , during stays of in Cascais , for the bathing season.
Once a private beach house of the Earl Castro Guimarães , whose palace is a current museum has direct access to the beach , which is at the edge of the Cascais Marina , in the village center .
Situated on the beach of Tamariz in Estoril , this is filled by the Atlantic Ocean. Formulated in 1953 , these pools are an innovative design for its relationship with the site .
The beach of São Pedro do Estoril is protected by a high cliff on the edge of Marginal Road. There are two accesses by staircase , plus a pedestrian tunnel under the road .
Often the sea has great waves that are quickly covered with surfers .
The beach Cresmina is one of the great beaches of Guincho area , alongside major Guincho beach itself. Following the road from Cascais , the Cresmina is the first beach to be sighted in a long stretch of sand dotted with dunes . As Guincho , the Cresmina suffers from strong winds in the area and severe sea.
The beach of Freshwater , better known as the small beach of Guincho, is a small niche of sand between the beach and the great Cresmina Guincho beach . Its location makes it sheltered from strong winds that sometimes afflict neighboring beaches . Another attraction is the existence of a small ocean pool whose use. There is no Lifeguard, requires prudence and is sometimes not even impossible at times of high tide.

London Olympics 2012 Review
Posted by mrleithal on July 27, 2012 in Reviews
With the massive push in the UK for everyone to go stir crazy for the Olympics arriving on our doorstep, London Olympics 2012 got the benefit of the doubt when it was booted up on my Xbox. Sadly slick presentation, a thunderous soundtrack and a variety of events cannot hide the fact that, as seen in almost every other Olympics game there has been to date, it is still a very shallow button basher with little to no skill or finesse required.
The events on offer are varied in real life but are painfully similar in the video game universe. Most of the races boil down to keeping a green bar between two lines to ensure you continue to build up speed , with almost all the track and field events doing the same thing. Swimming uses the two analogue sticks to get a rhythm going whilst in the trampoline events and diving use knock off dance mat style patterns that were old years ago. The shooting sections are boring, archery seems to be completely hit or miss as the wind you are supposed to be judging barely seems to make a difference. Cycling is a repeat of the track and field events, table tennis is almost impossible to lose in as the opponent doesn't seem to have any hand eye coordination and weightlifting doesn't seem to want to tell you why mashing A is going to help you lift a larger weight. Somewhat baffling is the absence of a relay event, especially considering the mechanics used in all the running events would fit well.
The game itself tries to install a large amount of loyalty to your country in both the online modes and the Olympic mode. Online keeps a tally of the medals won by all competitors and essentialyl places countries against each other which is a nice touch albeit a bit devoid when New Zealand has more medals than China. Considering their population differences, the competitiveness of the game, and where it will sell, is pretty obvious that this mode is going to skew away from the Asian market. The Olympic Mode takes you through the Olympic Events one by one, allowing you to choose two a day to qualify and then compete in. The country with the highest medal tally at the end of the events wins and that's it. Other than unlocking further costumes, different pieces of equipment or trying it on a harder difficulty, there really is very little else that you are going to want to achieve. With a game time of just about an hour and a half, the game told me I had finished 25% of the game, broken 3 Olympic records and one world record; rather rubbish in comparison to the rest of the gaming community ,that the game helpfully signposts during loading screens ,but still a fair chunk considering the small amount of play time.
Multiplayer falls into the same traps as single player but allows a competitive edge that gleans over the button bashing element; a few friends over or across Xbox Live makes for a much more even match up than the schizophrenic AI that are either completely rubbish or all Usain Bolts. Kinect still hasn't found its feet in gaming yet, so don't expect London 2012 to be the exception as it still finds it difficult tracing your movements and your avatar arrives at an almost standstill when it thinks your thigh is your arm.
A proper athlete development system would have been a fantastic addition to a Olympic game. Sadly the best that is given is a very poor customisation technique which allows you change the hair colour of some of your team and switch between 13 stock facial models. This hardly makes the team you are supposed to be any more personable or emotionally identifiable; seeing yourself win the 100m with a world record may have added a different dimension of achievement to the game. Commentary is painfully awful with the same rattled out sentences being used stating the same obvious things it even makes FIFA's commentary look positively dynamic.
The presentation ad graphics are astoundingly good , particularly the recreation of the stadia ad the various other hosting venues for events, as it really brings a sense of atmosphere that has been missed in previous Olympic style games. Character models vary from good to merely ok, with many of the athletes following into the trap of 'scary smile' syndrome and are only capable of celebrating in three or four different ways; not technically representative if you have just won the gold medal for your country. The soundtrack focuses on one song only that is perfect to portray the spirit of the games and galvanises you a little to win the events that are on offer; music is usually an odd thing to focus on, but, when much of your experience of London Olympics 2012 is set on watching pretty loading screens, it begins to become more important.
As a marketing tool London Olympics 2012 hits all the right buttons. Presentation is slick, London looks majestic and a large amount of events are there. In the same sense however, the game itself will only appeal for all of a few days, even with friends, and is unlikely to come out again until Christmas, when the younger family are over and they need to be entertained. There is no satisfying game mechanic within the whole scenario at all and that has as much to do with every other Olympic game having exactly the same one. For promotion purposes , this hits all the right buttons, for gamers it needs a set of new ones to make it worthy of more than a few hours of playing time.

The KTM 690 Duke. KTM photo.
Rumors of an 800 cc mill have been increasing over the last year or two from the Austrian brand, so much so that I was actually really disappointed last November when they weren't released. Spy shots show the rumors were true, just my timing was a little off.
The shots first showed up on UK site Visordown.com, but then Motorcycle.com found and posted several more of the "spy shots." Good thing someone with a nice camera, long lens, had their camera set to shoot in burst mode. The "spy photographer" wants silly amounts of money to post the photos here, so head to the Motorcycle.com link for the pics.
An 800-something cc twin would fit in perfectly between the small and almost supermoto-like 690 Duke and batshit bonkers 1290 Super Duke or 1190 Adventure. The former uses a massive single, while the latter all feature big V-Twins.
The KTM 1290 Super Duke R. KTM photo.
While this round of spy shots is of this new motor in a new Duke, their naked sportbike range, the bike I'm more excited about will be when a variant of this motor is used in some sort of smaller adventure bike. The 1190 is a great bike when the off-road conditions are good, but you feel all that weight pretty quickly. A smaller option would be incredibly versatile and useful for those of us who aren't Chris Birch.

Q: MySQL get previous and next record when order by date? I have the following tables and data:
CREATE TABLE `jobs` (
    `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `product_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
    `status_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
    `start_dt` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    `end_dt` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    `refreshed_dt` TIMESTAMP AS ((`start_dt` + interval ((to_days(`end_dt`) - to_days(`start_dt`)) / 2) day)) STORED,
    `job_title` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)
COLLATE='utf8_unicode_ci'
ENGINE=InnoDB

CREATE TABLE `job_industry` (
    `job_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
    `industry_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
     PRIMARY KEY (`job_id`, `industry_id`),
     INDEX `job_industry_industry_id_foreign` (`industry_id`),
     CONSTRAINT `job_industry_industry_id_foreign` FOREIGN KEY (`industry_id`) REFERENCES `industries` (`id`),
     CONSTRAINT `job_industry_job_id_foreign` FOREIGN KEY (`job_id`) REFERENCES `jobs` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE
)
COLLATE='utf8_unicode_ci'
ENGINE=InnoDB

INSERT INTO jobs (product_id, status_id, start_dt, end_dt, job_title)
VALUES (1, 4, "2019-07-28", "2019-08-28", "Financial Accountant"),
       (1, 4, "2019-07-28", "2019-08-28", "Payroll Clerk"),
       (3, 4, "2019-07-28", "2019-08-28", "Management Accountant"),
       (1, 4, "2019-07-28", "2019-08-28", "Accounts Assistant"),
       (1, 4, "2019-07-28", "2019-08-28", "Auditor");

INSERT INTO job_industry (job_id, industry_id)
VALUES (1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (5, 1);

I have the following query to return a paginated results set to return all jobs which are currently live and within the accountancy industry sector:
    select jobs.id,
           jobs.job_title
      from jobs
inner join job_industry on job_industry.job_id = jobs.id
     where job_industry.industry_id in (1)
       and jobs.start_dt <= now()
       and jobs.end_dt >= now()
       and jobs.status_id = 4
  group by jobs.id
  order by CASE WHEN jobs.product_id = 3 AND jobs.refreshed_dt <= now() THEN
            jobs.refreshed_dt
              ELSE jobs.start_dt
           END desc, jobs.id desc limit 10 offset 0

The order by clause in the above query uses the product_id and refreshed_dt to give a higher ranking to records - if the product_id is 3 then it's considered a premium listing and if its reached half way through it's listing period then we use the refreshed_dt to bump it up in the list. The refreshed_dt basically is the mid point between the start_dt and end_dt. We want to list the newest listing first.
The above query give me the following result set:
 id  | job_title
----------------------
  3  | Management Accountant   <--- premium listing
  5  | Auditor                 <--- previous
  4  | Accounts Assistant      <--- selected record
  2  | Payroll Clerk           <--- next
  1  | Financial Accountant

Now if I select record id 4, how do I get the previous and next records?
I've checked the following post How to get next/previous record in MySQL? but that only works if you're ordering by id.
This is my attempt to get previous record which returns record id 5 which is correct however if there were other premium records then i feel this query would fail:
 select MAX(jobs.id)
  from jobs
inner join job_industry on job_industry.job_id = jobs.id
 where job_industry.industry_id in (1)
   and jobs.start_dt <= now()
   and jobs.end_dt >= now()
   and jobs.status_id = 4
   and jobs.id  > 4
order by CASE WHEN jobs.product_id = 3 AND jobs.refreshed_dt <= now() THEN
            jobs.refreshed_dt
              ELSE jobs.start_dt
           END desc, jobs.id desc

And to get next record I have the following which return record id 1 which is incorrect:
select MIN(jobs.id)
  from jobs
inner join job_industry on job_industry.job_id = jobs.id
 where job_industry.industry_id in (1)
   and jobs.start_dt <= now()
   and jobs.end_dt >= now()
   and jobs.status_id = 4
   and jobs.id < 4
order by CASE WHEN jobs.product_id = 3 AND jobs.refreshed_dt <= now() THEN
            jobs.refreshed_dt
        ELSE jobs.start_dt  END desc, jobs.id desc

Some help to tackle this would be appreciated. Please note I've provided a minimal reproducible example above. Also i'm using  and limited to mysql version 5.7.17

I first heard about Witchlanders on Twitter and, after reading a glowing blog review (wish I could remember whose!), I instantly added a copy to my nook for future reading. I had actually forgotten exactly what Witchlanders was about when I finally did open it up to read. I expected young adult paranormal romance or something similar. Instead I found myself reading a high fantasy novel, set in a different world. It wasn't quite what I was in the mood for, but once I stepped into the world of the Witchlanders and Baen, there was no looking back.
You have two young men on opposite sides of an old rivalry. Their two people had once been at war and now have a begrudging peace held by such a thin fraying thread that it can't possibly hold. Ryder is a Witchlander. He is skeptical of his own people's beliefs in the Goddess and the blind faith the people put in the witches and their prophecies. Then there is Falpian, the Baen, sent to the mountains on a secret mission he is even anaware of under the guise of praying for his dead brother.
Ryder and Falpian's fates come together in an unexpected way when Ryder's village is threatened. Full of magic and conflict as well as confronting one's own beliefs and testing the limits of loyalty and friendship, Witchlanders has a little bit of everything.
The novel is rich in culture and heart. I cannot believe this is a first novel. It is beautifully written, the characters well fleshed out, the world amazingly crafted . . . What more is there to say? I could go into more detail, but you're wasting time here. Go read the novel. What are you waiting for?!
You can learn more about Lena Coakley and her novel on the author's website.
You lost me when you said it's high fantasy. My mind just doesn't work that way.
I find the premise of this book very intriguing, and hadn't heard of it before. It sounds like something I would like, and since I have discovered that I do like high fantasy, I think I am going to add this one to my list. Thanks for the great review!
I heard about this book earlier today and added it to my wish list. I am looking forward to it!
I'm so excited to read your glowing review of this one! It just showed up in my Junior Library Guild order for my school so I will be reading this one for sure? I almost brought it home to read over the holidays too!
This is the first I've heard of this one and it sounds wonderful! It's def. going on the wish list.
I haven't heard of this one before, but it sounds interesting. I like fantasy almost as much as mystery!
I haven't heard of this before now, and thanks to your rave review, it goes on my to-buy list!! It does sound very interesting. Thanks!
Heather - I do hope you get a chance to read it. You always have such insightful reviews, and I'd love to hear what you think of this one.
Kelly - I'm surprised more people haven't heard of it. It's so good.
Samantha - Please do! I think you'd like it.
Staci - It's a great addition to your school library, I think! Let me know what you think when you get to it!
Kathy - I imagine fantasy isn't for everyone, Kathy. There's plenty of other types of books out there to read, right?
Kris - Do give it a chance!
Susan - I was really impressed with this one and am so glad I read it. I hope you will like it!

Sponsorship projects
The c/o pop Festival and the c/o pop Convention are cooperation partners for three sponsorship projects:
MUSIC HUB GERMANY
The sponsorship project »music hub germany« has been taking place for several years as part of the c/o pop Festival. This project, initiated by the festival organizers and supported by the federal government, focuses on the targeted promotion of local, regional and national up-and-coming artists. This has always been an important factor for the festival organizers. Thanks to the »music hub germany« project, the promotion of young artists can be further expanded this year: By now, around 80 % of the bands booked for the c/o pop festival originate in Germany – in 2019, around 60 young German bands will be able to present themselves to an international audience during c/o Ehrenfeld. With music hub germany, the organizers of the c/o pop Festival initiate and establish an exchange with other festival organizers as well as with agencies, labels and media from more than 25 countries. 2019 was the third time that the project has been supported by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. The past few years have shown that the concept is working: several national acts such as The Whitest Boy Alive, BrandtBrauerFrick, Moderat, Roosevelt, Dillon and AnnenMayKantereit have played at the festival long before their breakthrough and prove that the c/o pop Festival is an ideal stepping stone – also for international success.
WUNDERKINDER - GERMAN MUSIC TALENT
In 2019, the project »Wunderkinder – German Music Talent« took place for the first time in Cologne as part of c/o Ehrenfeld. It was initiated in 2013 by the organizers of Reeperbahn Festival. The aim of the sponsorship program is to present the music industry with particularly promising local talents who have a good chance of an international career. "With the Cologne edition of »Wunderkinder – German Music Talent« we want to establish a stepping stone for Hamburg, which excellently complements the c/o pop's activities and programs to promote young German acts", says Norbert Oberhaus, Managing Director of cologne on pop GmbH. The following ten musical acts from the »Wunderkinder – German Music Talent« program already performed at c/o pop Festival: Kelvyn Colt, Gianni Mae, Serious Klein, BLVTH, Amilli, Sofia Portanet, NOVAA, Luke Noa, ELI and Moli. Two of these prodigies then had the chance to play at the Reeperbahn Festival and participated in an international project that took the artists to Nashville, Beijing and New York. "Since it was founded in 2013, 60 national artists and about 150 international talent buyers have taken part in our »Wunderkinder – German Music Talent« program. Since then, many of the participating musicians have also established themselves in markets outside Germany. I am pleased that thanks to the extended support of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, we are given the opportunity to expand the program. Thanks to the cooperation with our friends at c/o pop, we can now support even more talents from Germany on their way into the international market", said Alexander Schulz, Director of Reeperbahn Festival.
WE ARE EUROPE
The »We Are Europe« project is a unique, innovative exchange for artists and the industry with the aim of promoting culture and music. In 2015, eight festivals from all over Europe joined forces for this project, in order to bundle synergies and to bring artists, personalities and speakers together and make them better known beyond their own national borders. Artists from the fields of music, digital and contemporary culture can present themselves at the various festivals and enter into dialogue with one another. Thus the festival organizers would like to set impulses in the field of culture and politics. One of these partners is the c/o pop Festival. During the festival, Hauschka and Lena Willikens, for example, performed and discussions and workshops took place during the c/o pop Convention within the scope of the participating festivals. In addition to the c/o pop Festival, the following festivals are also involved in the project: Elevate (Graz), Sónar (Barcelona), Reworks (Thessaloniki), Unsound (Krakow), Nuits Sonores (Lyon), Insomnia (Tromsø) and TodaysArt (The Hague).

The farro salad you most often encounter in Italy goes something like this: farro, tomatoes, herbs, cheese, olive oil, and perhaps a splash of vinegar.
This is my attempt to take things in a different direction. Chopped green olives, chives, toasted walnuts, and honey combine with a few other ingredients into a quirky yet delicious preparation that leaves a huge impression.
Massive Sicilian Castelvetrano olives are my choice here, but any great-tasting green olives will do — Cerignola, Lucques, or Sevillano — preferably from an olive bar, not a can.
If you prepare the olive mixture a day or two ahead of time, it is even better, but bring it to room temperature before serving.
1. Combine the farro, water, and ½ teaspoon of salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to take from a boil to a simmer, and simmer gently for about 15 minutes if using semi-pearled farro, longer if whole. Cook until tender but not so long that the grains become mushy. Drain off any extra water and set aside.
2. Coarsely chop the olives and place them in a bowl along with the olive oil, walnuts, green onions, chives, red pepper flakes, honey, lemon juice, raisins, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Stir well and set aside (or refrigerate) until ready to serve the salad.
The olive mixture is best at room temperature, so if you've refrigerated it, set it out for 30 minutes before doing the final toss.
3. Combine the farro and olive mixture in a bowl and mix to combine well. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if needed. Serve topped with thin strips of shaved pecorino.

David Luscombe took his B.A. degree with Firsts in both Parts of the Historical Tripos in the University of Cambridge in 1959; he gained his PhD in Cambridge in 1964. He was a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge in 1962-64 and a Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge in 1964-72. In 1972 he became Professor of Medieval History in the University of Sheffield. From 1995 to 2000 he was Leverhulme Personal Research Professor of Medieval History and was later Research Professor of Medieval History until the end of September 2003 when retirement was required under the University's Statute. He has the degree of LittD from the University of Cambridge and of LittD honoris causa from the University of Sheffield. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 1986. He has held visiting appointments in the University of Connecticut (1993) and All Souls College, Oxford (1994) and he has been British Academy Exchange Visitor in Canada (1991) and in Japan (1996).
David Luscombe was the founder Chairman of the Humanities Research Institute in the University of Sheffield which received the Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher Education in 1998. He has been Divisional Research Director for the Arts and Humanities within the University from 1994 to 2003 and also Chairman of the Management Committee of a new Centre for Research into Freemasonry – an important initiative for UK scholarship.
David Luscombe's main interests lie in the history of medieval thought and religion from late antiquity to the end of the middle ages, particularly in the following areas: the writings of Peter Abelard and of other medieval scholars and thinkers; the history of the medieval schools and universities, and the history of medieval (and Dionysian) conceptions of hierarchy. He has recently published a new edition from the manuscripts of the collected correspondence of Peter Abelard and Heloise, with a translation by Betty Radice revised by himself, in the series Oxford Medieval Texts. For this publication he was awarded the British Academy Medal in 2014.With Lisa Liddy and David Hey he has also recently published an edition of the Cartulary of Beauchief Abbey in Sheffield.

The Cartulary of Beauchief Abbey, here published for the first time with a full historical introduction and English summaries of all the Latin and French charters, is an invaluable resource for the study of relationships between a small community of regular canons with a large outreach in the English Midlands in the late Middle Ages. Over two hundred charters and a wide range of other sources show in considerable and valuable detail how the canons of Beauchief, although they belonged to a monastic order and led a life of withdrawal from the world, nonetheless engaged successfully with numerous benefactors in contributing, by active management of properties and parishes, to the promotion of religious life in town and country as well as to long-lasting developments in farming and industry. This book underlines the increasing recognition of the historical importance of regular canons in late medieval England.
Peter Abelard conducted many analyses of Scriptural and Patristic teachings, and achieved an extensive rapprochement between Christian and pagan thought. His public career was ended in 1140 by an ecclesiastical condemnation, but this touched upon the central issues facing the early leaders of the medieval scholastic movement and Abelard's own teachings continued to be controversial. Dr Luscombe considers the influence of Abelard's principal teachings among his contemporaries and successors. his aim is to explain the conflicting estimates of Abelard which were current in the twelfth century and later, and to provide a full account of the writings and varied fortunes of Abelard's disciples. He also examines the manuscript tradition of Abelard's work and that of his followers. The condemnation of 1140 repudiated Abelard's leading doctrines. This led some of Abelard's disciples to partly retreat from the position of their master, whereas some chose to adapt and extend his teachings.
The fourth volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers the eleventh and twelfth centuries, which comprised perhaps the most dynamic period in the European middle ages. This is a history of Europe, but the continent is interpreted widely to include the Near East and North Africa. The volume is divided into two parts of which this, the second, deals with the course of events - ecclesiastical and secular - and major developments in an age marked by the transformation of the position of the papacy in a process fuelled by a radical reformation of the church, the decline of the western and eastern empires, the rise of western kingdoms and Italian elites, and the development of governmental structures, the beginnings of the recovery of Spain from the Moors and the establishment of western settlements in the eastern Mediterranean region in the wake of the crusades.
The Middle Ages span a period of well over a millennium: from the emperor Constantine's Christian conversion in 312 to the early sixteenth century. During this time there was remarkable continuity of thought, but there were also many changes made in different philosophies: various breaks, revivals, and rediscoveries. David Luscombe's history of Medieval Thought steers a clear path through this long period, beginning with the three greatest influences on medieval philosophy: Augustine, Boethius, and Pseudo-Denis, and focusing on Alcuin, Abelard, Anselm, Aquinas, Ockham, Duns Scotus, and Eckhart amongst others in the twelfth to fifteenth centuries.
Medieval philosophy is widely regarded as having a theological and religious orientation, but more recently attention has been given to the early study of logic, language, and the philosophy of science. This history therefore gives a fascinating insight into medieval views on aspects such as astronomy, materialism, perception, and the nature of the soul.

He has extensive experience of the study of manuscripts in numerous libraries in England and abroad.


Congratulations to JAXA on the launch and commissioning of the SDS-4 microsatellite. This spacecraft is an important Rosetta Stone for us, in that it carries both a Sinclair Interplanetary SS-411 sun sensor and a star tracker (from another vendor). This allows us for the first time to make very high accuracy measurements of the sun sensor performance on-orbit. Early indications are very good.
July 12 is also the second birthday of AISSAT-1. This nanosatellite carries three RW-0.03 wheels, which continue to keep it pointed in the right direction.

Our body is amazing in its ability to let us know what's going on inside, alerting us to potential health threats, giving us time to deal with the issue and possibly reverse the damage.
In a naturopathic visit, your doctor is constantly assessing your physical health by looking at these five key indicators of health.
1. Hair-Sheen, luster and suppleness are important signs of healthy hair. When it begins looking and feeling brittle and frizzy it may be a sign that it's not getting enough moisture. It could also mean something more serious is going inside the body.
Each strand of hair is made up of three layers. The outer layer protects the inner layers. In dry hair the outer layer has broken down causing it to look dull and unhealthy. This could be caused by living in a hot, dry climate, spending a lot of time in the sun, overuse of bleaching products or frequent swimming in chlorinated water. It could also be the sign of more serious health conditions.
1. Malnutrition-Hair needs nutrients, dry hair may be a sign of malabsorption.
2. Hypoparathyroidism -calcium is a key nutrient for healthy bones, teeth, tissue and hair. Too little parathyroid hormone decreases the level of calcium in your blood.
3. Hypothyroidism-dry, brittle hair and hair loss are early signs of hypothyroidism.
Blood tests for nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances can determine if your dry hair is caused by any of the above conditions. Talk to your ND about which test is right for you.
2. Eyes-Chronically red eyes or yellow tinged whites could be caused by more than allergies or staring at a computer screen too long. They can also be the sign of chronic inflammation or a congested liver.
Chronic inflammation is associated with several lifestyle diseases such as osteoarthritis, cancer, and heart disease.
If your naturopathic doctor suspects inflammation, he will order specific tests to determine the level of inflammation and its root cause.
3. Droopy Eyelids and Fatty Deposits Around the Eye-Droopy eyes can be a sign of fatigue, allergies, hormone imbalance or fluid retention. When free radicals accumulate they can cause cell damage in the body. This is called oxidative stress and can manifest as poor skin quality, especially in the eyelids.
Fatty Deposits could indicate heart disease. Premature aging of our skin could be a sign of something more serious going on inside with the heart.
A whole foods diet rich in compounds that reduce puffiness, fight free radical damage and helps the body to eliminate toxins through the liver and kidney.
Holistic Cleanse with liver flushing and repairing herbs.
We all expect our skin to wrinkle as we get older, but if you are developing deep naso-labial lines and wrinkles much earlier than usual, you may have a congested or poorly functioning digestive system.
Specific warning signs of a poor diet include inflamed or bleeding gums, tooth loss, mouth pain, and dental caries. If your teeth have been drilled one too many times, it could be a sign that dietary changes are long overdue. While a diet high in added sugar is associated with an increased risk of dental caries, research also recognizes that the frequency of exposure to sugar can negatively impact your teeth. In one study, the frequency of soft drink consumption was significantly associated with dental caries. If you are sipping on sugary beverages all day long it means that your teeth are constantly being flooded with sugar. Try giving your teeth a break by cutting back on the sugar and soft drinks.
Another common nutrition-related oral health problem is swollen or inflamed gums. Studies show that swollen or bleeding gums are associated with a low intake of vitamin C.
To reduce swelling in the mouth, try consuming more vitamin C rich foods such as strawberries, tomatoes, green leafy vegetables, and potatoes.
Get regular checkups and cleaning.
In order for a wound to quickly and sufficiently heal, it needs an adequate supply of nutrients from the foods on your plate. Poor wound healing could indicate that you are not getting a sufficient level of essential nutrients. Poor diets impact the strength of new wound tissue, recovery time, and how well your body will be able to fight off an infection that manifests from the wound. Studies have shown that a sufficient intake of calories, protein, and micronutrients is essential for proper wound healing.
Ask your naturopathic doctor what test are appropriate for ensuring your levels of micronutrients are where they should be.
Take a diet diary to a nutritionist to determine whether you are getting enough calories and protein.


MU Sites provides endless possibilities for extending the learning environment beyond the classroom into the digital sphere. From online discussion boards where class members post to teaching design principles through building websites, you can utilize this technology to enhance your classes. Below are examples of sample assignments professors at other universities have used with the website capability.
Taunine has her students write two digital essays. Students must cite class sources and outside sources in the essays, but the twist here is that the essays have to contain at least three non-text elements arranged to accompany the text in impactful ways. These non-text elements can be images, gifts, video clips, etc. Combining traditional writing with visual elements makes the text relate to the real world in tangible ways. Another assignment Taunine assigns is a commentary on digital media. Students are encouraged to be creative as they use digital tools to create their take on what media means. The commentary is accompanied with a 1,000 word "Artist Statement" that includes an explanation of how the project fits in with current class readings and how the project conveys the commentary the student was making. Taunine's shot-by-shot video analysis project is another project where students pick a film clip and add annotations to it about editing, music, sound effects, etc. through a program called Popcorn Maker.
Dave had his English grad students make a writing video lexicon where students have to write a video script that dramatizes a hard literary theoretical concept for first year college freshmen and then make that script into an engaging video. He also has students create a live tweet reading of the week project where students pick a chapter from one of the class texts and all live tweet as they read it. The instructor then pulls up the Twitter feed during a class discussion as a starting point for the lecture to identify key elements of the material.
Dave has his students develop an entire separate community analysis website that is linked to a student's domain that presents a community through interviews, artifacts, language practices, and tensions. All the text, visuals, etc. include commentary that describe how each element contributes to the unique community. Additionally, Dave assigns a community action proposal and campaign during the semester. Students identify a problem, present a solution through data analysis, and then prepare an entire ad campaign complete with a self-made YouTube video, branded logo, and promotional text for the proposed solution.
Kim's classes work on a website throughout their whole semester that archives historical memories about a specific event in the 1960s. Students write blog posts about how to research these events, as well as how our country has memorialized the event. The websites include historical documents, movies, oral histories, fashion, etc. to archive a moment in time, and then students provide analysis on how the actual history of the vent compares to our nation's memory of the event.
David assigns students to one of three different blogging roles throughout the week. The students rotate through the roles of readers (posting initial questions from the reading), responders (responding to the questions with words and visual content such as videos and pictures), and historians (summarizing the class discussions). The class posts are syndicated through a WordPress plug-in so that students post to their individual blogs, but sees the collective works.
The class portfolio assignment is basically a website that contains all the students' work from the semester. One project that is required is a Weather on Facebook assignment where students track what people say about the weather for two weeks on a day-to-day basis. The students create an infographic of the results. This can be replicated for any subject, but the idea of tracking a specific topic through social media is intriguing. Another project is the virtual tour guide, where students are required to make a website that represents a significant place or memorial, complete with a site tour, explanatory webtexts, and other immersive tools.
McKenna's students take a portion of the The Taming of the Shrew from William Shakespeare and turn it into a digital infographic made from Piktochart. Students are required to choose a guiding topic or claim and then use quotes and images to represent the supporting ideas. Later in the semester, they are encouraged to make a series of podcasts representing a scholarly webtext on some aspect of Shakespeare the class has covered.
Students are assigned a video group project where groups make a 5 – 7 minute video with infographics, diagrams, and text according to a script centered on a main idea from one of the two stories that they read together. In addition to posting the video and script on each of their blogs, the students also have to post a making of page that details how each group member's expectations changed over the course of the project and how the research and sources used impacted the final product.
McKenna has her students complete a three-part blog assignment where students blog about a specific environmental issue. In the first allegory blog, students select a picture or image as an allegory connecting the object to a global environmental issue and describe how that image applies to the situation. Another part of the assignment is to create two memes that invite viewers to think about the same issue in a new or unexpected way. The memes are accompanied by a statement stating the student's creative process as they selected their picture and text.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Arctic permafrost is thawing as the Earth warms due to climate change. In some cases scientists predict that this thawing soil will release increasing amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, that is known to trap more heat in our planet's atmosphere.
Now a new study has found a new reason behind increased methane emissions from a thawing permafrost bog in Alaska: Early spring rainfall warms up the bog and promotes the growth of plants and methane-producing microbes (watch a video animation of the research).
The study's authors showed that early precipitation in 2016 warmed the bog about three weeks earlier than usual, and increased the bog's methane emissions by 30 percent compared to previous years. These results were recently published in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union.
"In general, the chance of generating methane goes up with increased rainfall because soils get waterlogged. But what we see here is different," said corresponding author Rebecca Neumann, an associate professor in the University of Washington Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering. "Early rainfall sent a slog of warm water moving into our bog. We believe microbes in the bog got excited because they were warmed up, so they released nutrients from the soil that allowed more plant growth. Methane production and emission are tightly linked with soil temperature and plant growth.

Moon Duo - Escape (standard vinyl) quantity
"To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Moon Duo's long-out-of-print debut LP Escape, Sacred Bones is proud to present a new deluxe version of the album. The new reissue will include the original album in its entirety, plus three additional rare tracks taken from Moon Duo's wild early days. Reflecting on the album in March 2020, the band shared the following statement:
"We made this record in a rehearsal space in San Francisco in late 2009. It was kind of a classic band space, shared by a rangy assortment of musicians over months and years, behind one of several similar doors in a dark red hall. A windowless room lit by string lights and an odd assortment of lamps, the walls a palimpsest of posters and gig fliers. There was a grimy, burn-pocked rug, cluttered gear in various stages of use and abandonment, and the air seemed to hang in a permanent film of smoke residue and stale beer. We recorded to a 4-track tape machine over the course of a few nights – we'd just start the beats, hit 'record' and let fly. We had a vague sense of coalescence, or fomentation, like a glimpse of a thing in outline which you can't yet see, but neither of us knew at the time that this was the record that would mark the beginning of our life as a touring band and would initiate our connections to so many (now long-time) friends, familiars and collaborators. Ten years feels like both a lifetime and the blink of an eye – measurable but impossible to quantify. These four tracks, and the others that join them here, are a snapshot of our earliest incarnation: flying blind, but high on the freedom of experimentation and filled with hope for things to come."-Sacred Bones
