The United States and Canada need to do much more to help protect the Great Lakes from algal blooms in Lake Erie as well as harmful chemicals and invasive species, according to a new report released Tuesday.
The report issued by the International Joint Commission found that the two governments have not succeeded as much as hoped for in protecting human health "related to drinkability, swimability and fishability," as well as reducing pollutants that threaten humans and wildlife and controlling nutrients.
The U.S. and Canadian governments spend money on trying to prevent these environmental problems "at current or higher levels," the commission said in a report that it releases every three years.
"The IJC commends the governments of Canada and the United States for their vision, commitments and actions under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. But the issues are many and complex," said Gordon Walker, Canadian section chair for the commission in a conference call with reporters.
The report comes after an algal bloom in September turned the Maumee River and western edge of Lake Erie up to Canada florescent green, alarming residents and prompting local officials to lobby the Environmental Protection Agency to take action. Phosphorus-rich fertilizers and manure running off from large livestock farms into Lake Erie, some carried by the Maumee River, fed the growth of the bloom.
The report is the update on how the United States and Canada are doing "to protect and restore the Great Lakes" as the world's largest fresh water resource under the 45-year-old Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.
Lana Pollack, the former Michigan lawmaker from Ann Arbor and current U.S. sections chair of the IJC, said during the conference call there's a lot of "science behind" its findings but that it's "up to the public and the other legislators" to push the message of addressing these issues facing the Great Lakes.

Anatomy Black jellyfish (Chrysaora achlyos) Ecology Environment Evolution Genetics Jellyfish
Biology of the Black Jelly (Chrysaora achlyos)
Black jellyfish Chrysaora achlyos. Image source: Wikipedia
The west coast of North America is home to one of the most mysterious stinging nettles known, the black jelly, Chrysaora achlyos. Adults are huge, a deep dark purple or black, and very rarely seen. Blooms for this species were recorded only 4 times in the 20th century, in 1926, 1965, and 1989 and 1999 [1]. In fact, when scientists described the wandering goliath in 1997, they chose the latin name Achlys– a Greek figure representing "mist, darkness,and obscurity" [2]. Despite its evanescent visits, the jelly itself is hard to miss: the bell can reach 1 meter (> 3 feet) in diameter, with oral arms extending up to 6 meter (~ 20 feet) in length.
The black jelly is closely related to the purple striped jelly, indicated by both DNA and husbandry data. Most stinging nettles can only be housed with other member of their species, because they will eat more distantly related jellies. Black and purple striped jellies can be kept in the same tank, which means they must see each other as being members of the same species. Their DNA sequences are also so similar for some genes it is impossible to distinguish between them [Keith Bayha, personal communication]. One might be tempted to say these animals are different colors of the same species. However, color is not the only thing to distinguish them, they also have differences numbers of tentacles– even as huge adults the purple striped jelly only has 8 tentacles, and the black jelly has 24 [4]. And these differences aren't likely due to possible differences in environmental conditions, they're also heritable. Black and purple striped jellies growing under identical conditions in aquariums still develop different colors and tentacle number. More than likely, these jellies share a very recent common ancestor, but have evolved into separate species.
Little is known about the life of wild black jellies. In captivity they feed on rotifers, brine shrimp and moon jelly, but their natural dietary preferences remains a mystery. Their polyp stage has also never been observed in the wild. Scientists have no idea where these animals spend most of their lives.
While the black jelly may appear ominous, it is not considered as dangerous as its cousin the Atlantic stinging nettle, with scientists commenting:
[the black jelly's] venom is not as toxic to mice, erythrocytes or hepatocytes as that of its smaller Eastern states cousin. This lesser potency appears to be fortunate for the unsuspecting Californian swimmers who might contact this large beast [3]
However, it does still produce some sting, and the intensity may vary from year to year. If you're lucky enough to see this species, watching it from a distance is probably the best way to enjoy this bizarre and beautiful jelly.

I am not sure that "rare" is a fair description. They've been in coastal waters off of San Diego, CA for something like 5 or 6 of the last 7 summers. They show up in late June and wash up on beaches for several weeks. Their appearance is often documented by local media because they tend to be very obvious (large, darkly colored) and a source of concern to beachgoers.
jellybiologist
Fair point. I was using rare to mean infrequently seen, but obviously they're quite common at the moment. Great to hear!
To follow up again because I've been thinking about it: I think one of the things I find amazing about jellies is their tendency to come out of nowhere. Of course somewhere lots of C. colorata polyps are living happily, and are not rare or hard to find. But the medusa show up infrequently. When they do though, it's all at once. Their lives are very extreme in that way. I like it. I've also modified the text to reflect your comment 🙂
That has always been one of the things that I found most interesting about jellies, too! A lot of my dissertation work ended up showing that Aurelia sp1 polyps are incredibly difficult to kill. They are super tough little guys. I was already working with Aurelia when the black jellies started showing up in San Diego, but I think that they would have been super cool study organisms. To my knowledge, their polyps aren't really known in the field, and as you have said, we know very little about their natural history. It would make a great project!
There were several other blooms in the 80s and 90s, pretty much all during El Niño events. See the earlier paper prior to the description, pretty sure it's in the references. Ever since we entered the cold phase of the PDO they've been showing up more regularly.
Dunno about the mice but quins are weak compared to achlyos. People get nailed in San Diego.
We grew up a 50cm class animal back in Jellies Living Art one time, one of the biggest jellies grown in captivity, our 59cm colorata was probably biggest ever grown.

Maine governor Paul LePage leaves obscene voicemail for lawmaker
Michael Dwyer

In this June 7, 2016, file photo, Maine Gov. Paul LePage attends an opioid abuse conference in Boston. LePage is being accused again of making racially insensitive comments, this time by saying photos he's collected in a binder of drug dealers arrested in the state show more than 90 percent of them are black or Hispanic. The governor made the remark at a town hall in North Berwick, Maine, Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2016.

Republican Gov. Paul LePage has unleashed an obscene tirade on a Democratic legislator, leaving him a voicemail message that said "I am after you" and telling reporters he wished it were 1825 so he could challenge the legislator to a duel and point a gun between his eyes.
LePage said in the Thursday morning voicemail that he wanted to talk with Rep. Drew Gattine of Westbrook about the legislator calling him a racist. Gattine has denied calling LePage a racist.
"I want you to prove that I'm a racist," LePage said, adding that he had spent his life helping black people. "I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you."
LePage, who's white, was accused of making racially insensitive comments Wednesday at a town hall in North Berwick, where he said photos he's collected in a binder of drug dealers arrested in the state showed that 90 percent of them "are black and Hispanic people from Waterbury, Connecticut; the Bronx; and Brooklyn."
House and Senate Democrats and the Maine Democratic Party on Friday questioned LePage's capacity to lead. LePage's office didn't immediately comment.
After leaving the voicemail, LePage later invited reporters to the governor's mansion, where he confirmed that he had left the message and said he wished he and Gattine could face off in a duel.
"When a snot-nosed little guy from Westbrook calls me a racist, now I'd like him to come up here because, tell you right now, I wish it were 1825," LePage said, according to the Portland Press Herald. "And we would have a duel, that's how angry I am, and I would not put my gun in the air, I guarantee you, I would not be (Alexander) Hamilton. I would point it right between his eyes because he is a snot-nosed little runt and he has not done a damn thing since he's been in this Legislature to help move the state forward."
Police in Westbrook said Friday that they had received a citizen complaint about the voicemail. A police official said the complaint came from someone who didn't live in the city. It's unclear if there will be an investigation.
Gattine, who is running for re-election, has clashed with the governor on how to address welfare reform, drug addiction and eligibility for developmental disabilities programs.
Gattine said he wasn't concerned about his safety, but he called the voicemail a distraction and the latest of LePage's personal vendettas against lawmakers. Gattine shared the voicemail's audio with the Press Herald.
"The fact is he sits around fantasizing about having duels with legislators or obsessing over the race of people who are arrested for crimes," Gattine said.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said in a statement that it's "embarrassing" that LePage is contributing to the "steady loss of civility in politics."
LePage has a history of drawing attention for his blunt remarks. In January, Paul LePage said drug dealers with names like "D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty" are getting Maine's white girls pregnant. He later apologized, saying he meant to say "Maine women" and not "white women."
LePage has compared his style to that of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, whom he supports, though he recently said Trump was his third choice for president after Chris Christie and Jeb Bush.
"I was Donald Trump before Donald Trump became popular, so I think I should support him since we're one of the same cloth," he told radio show host Howie Carr in February. LePage this week called the father of a dead Muslim U.S. Army captain a "con artist" for criticizing Trump.

U.S. to Cut Off Aid to Egypt
By Dr. Ashraf Ramelah| 2013-10-09T02:57:38+00:00	October 9th, 2013|Reports|0 Comments
The United States will cut off aid to Egypt in the wake of the July coup against President Mohammed Morsi and the turmoil that has followed, a U.S. official told CNN on Tuesday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the full suspension has been prompted by an "accumulation of events," including recent violence against protesters, dozens of whom were killed over the weekend.
The suspension will formally take effect in the coming days, the official said.
The United States has not yet notified the Egyptians of the decision to cut off military aid, a senior official told CNN. The announcement is not expected to be made on Wednesday and has already been pushed back a few times, the official said.
The administration subsequently denied the report.
"The reports that we are halting all military assistance to Egypt are false," National Security Council spokesperson Caitlin Hayden said. "We will announce the future of our assistance relationship with Egypt in the coming days, but as the president made clear at UNGA (the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York), that assistance relationship will continue."
Up until now, the U.S. has never qualified Morsi's ouster as a "coup" and has been cautious about doing so, choosing only to condemn the violence in the country.
Washington did, however, cancel military exercises with Cairo and delayed the delivery of military shipments to Egypt, including F-16s.
Under U.S. law, a country in which a military coup has taken place cannot receive military aid from the U.S.
Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham have called on the Obama administration to cut off the aid the U.S. provides to Egypt.
"Not all coups are created equal, but a coup is still a coup," the two recently wrote in the Washington Post. "Morsi was elected by a majority of voters, and U.S. law requires the suspension of our foreign assistance to 'any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup d'état or decree . . . in which the military plays a decisive role.'
"We find it hard to describe the situation in Egypt any other way. Congress should review this law to determine whether it serves our national interests, but at this time we believe the United States must suspend assistance to Egypt," wrote the two senators. "This is a difficult decision, but if we expect Egypt and other countries to abide by their laws, then we must abide by ours.

You should not have any trouble getting into a free chat room since our main forums do not require any downloads.


Love starts off as a simple word you hear being thrown everywhere: "I love this," "I love that," "I love it!" With time, you begin to understand its meaning.
I read a post on OddCrunch.com the other day from Gerald Rogers, a man who had recently finalized his divorce after 16 years of marriage. His words made me wonder how many of us living in the "microwave generation" — a time when people want and expect everything on-demand — are willing to take the lessons he learned and apply them to our lives while teaching us the beauty in appreciating the people we say we love.
Although his post was meant for men, there are several points he mentions that can help women as well. When you love someone, you love them whole-heartedly. The image in this post explains it best: Marriage is giving it all you've got. It's not just marriage; it's any relationship in your life. You'll be able to appreciate your significant other, family and friends if you gave a little more. Sometimes I don't want to dial a friend or family member because I know there's something else I need to do and that phone call is going to take at least an hour. Once I think about how much that call will brighten that person's day — like my grandmother — I feel that hour or so mad her smile, and that's all I need. Selflessly, I made someone else happy, even if I've knee-deep in laundry that needs to folded.
Besides making someone smile, make yourself happy. Rogers' sixth point is Take full accountability for your emotions. You won't be able to smile if your too busy complaining, unless you do it in a sarcastic way. To improve the relationships in your life, it's so important to look beyond the faults and focus on the positives. It's how you'll move forward. So what if he didn't take out the trash last night, at least he spent an extra 15 minutes to tell you about his day.

Music, Audio, and Other Illnesses
By Dan Schwartz
2016 has been a helluva year. You know: the list of musicians and music-related people who have passed, in any one year, would be too much; David Bowie, Paul Kantner, George Martin, Prince, all of them giants; now Leonard Cohen, who went the day before the election.
But this past Sunday came, for me, the hardest departure of the year: Leon Russell. Most of these deaths are really too big to write about. I've tried to say something about a couple of them, but this one is very difficult — mostly to feel adequate to the task. He's not the reason I play – that's due to the Beatles and George Harrison. But he was the first act I saw at the first big show I went to — watching him, it all came together; he and his band made it all make sense to me. I can, at the very least, try to give you a sense of what aroused me so much.
It was at a Ten Years After concert, in November of 1970 (at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, where the 76ers and the Flyers played). TYA were very big after the documentary film Woodstock, and their phenomenal performance there, and I think they were great – at least I think so. The other "support" act was Procol Harum, who were also terrific — I think. But the truth is that after seeing the opening act I could barely remember them. What Leon Russell and his band did was so extraordinary to my ears — not only hadn't I ever heard anything like it, I didn't even know it existed.
Maybe he came out unannounced. I don't remember that detail. But he sat down at a (real) piano, I think a 9-foot Steinway, and despite my 13-year-old seen-it-all (but really nothing of course) mind, quickly overcame my cynicism. He did four or five songs by himself. And then his band came out: Don Preston on guitar, Chuck Blackwell on drums, Claudia Lennear and Kathi McDonald singing, and the amazing Carl Radle on bass. I had just started playing — all I really knew was Jack Casady, which is plenty; but to see Radle play before I knew who he was… well, I definitely learned that night.
And watching Claudia Lennear move, well — I was 13, and what I felt watching her has lasted a lifetime — I learned about that, too. It's rumored that it's she who "Brown Sugar" was written about, before she took up with David Bowie.
But Leon: I learned a bit later on that he and Delaney Bramlett were primarily responsible for infusing gospel music into white people's rock and roll. I had never heard it, and never heard of it, but the people I loved and admired certainly did. (George famously went on the road, as L'Angelo Misterioso, with Delaney and Bonnie in England when they went over there)
It was utterly astonishing, in the first year of my playing, to hear Leon's gospel-inflected piano — its rolling left hand, its skipping right hand. I feel incredibly fortunate to have just stumbled across his extraordinary music when I knew so little.
He came to Hollywood from Tulsa, and fell rapidly into what we've called, in recent years, "The Wrecking Crew". A YouTube search brings up so much stuff; these are just a few highlights. A little background:
During the period when I first saw him:
(I assume Radle is off being a Domino, at the time).
And of course, from The Concert for Bangladesh:
In the years since, my circle of friends has grown to include Jim Keltner, who says he owes his career to Leon — I've heard stories about him from time to time, and a little bit about his health. He was famously "rescued from a ditch by the side of the road of life" by Reg Dwight. Some of us knew of the connection, which is most audible on the first (US) album, Elton John.
So many of us owe Leon so, so much.
About Dan Schwartz
Dan Schwartz is a parent, sort of a husband, and has been a musician of some years, having played on quite a few records - and even a few good ones. He's recorded or played with Rosanne Cash, Bob Dylan, Jon Hassell, Brian Eno, Bernie Leadon, Dave Navarro, Linda Perry, Sheryl Crow, Stan Ridgeway, and was a member of the Tuesday Night Music Club. In his spare time, he used to write for Harry and Sallie at the absolute sound and the Perfect Vision. Professionally, he keeps trying to leave music, but it keeps coming to get him.

When I think of Leon Russell I think of the Mad Dogs and Englishman Tour he sat up for Joe Cocker in 1970. There were so many people in that entourage when they played in Chicago that my old girlfriend went back stage, picked up a spare tambourine, and went on stage a played in a few numbers with the group. It was rumored that at the end of the tour, Cocker was presented with a bill that gave him about a $3.00 profit. Check out Russell singing Girl From The North Country on that album.

To study the life of Leon Russell is to receive an astonishing history of American music. Leon Russell is not unappreciated, but one could argue that he is the most underappreciated figure in the history of popular music. Has anyone compiled a full discography of the sessions he played on, produced, had his songs played on, etc? It would stagger the imagination.

Saw him not too long ago at a small venue in Edwardsville, IL. He shuffled out to the piano at an astoundingly slow pace. I thought "oh boy, I hope he can remember the words". About an hour later I was wishing it would never end. Remarkable music still coming out that worn out body. He will be missed.

Les Blank's film of Leon, A Poem Is a Naked Person , is worth tracking down.
Dan Schwartz November 28, 2016 at 9:53 am #
I don't know if it was the theatrical premiere, but it screened last year in downtown LA with Blank's son and Leon in attendance. And walking in, I ran into Don Preston, who Jim K. introduced me to previously and a Ringo/Klaus event.

I never got to see Leon live. But I do own many of his albums, "Hank Wilson's Back Vol 1" always brings back fond memories. Also his performance on Bangladesh was a highlight, amongst many.
My very first real concert was Ten Years After with Lee Michaels opening. A year or so later I saw them again with Jo Jo Gunn opening and the true highlight was the second act Howlin' Wolf. He came out by himself, sat on a chair, and played his heart out.
Your column is one of my favorites. After you wrote about Linda Perry, seeing her prominently featured in Soundbreaking was so cool. Thanks for sharing your personal memories and experiences.

I only saw Leon live once–when he opened for Elton John a few years ago. As expected, he was outstanding—but it made me sad how few in the audience knew who he was.
Personally, I went to see Leon–not Elton.

Some of you may remember that I Heart Faces' Fix-It Friday used to feature reader photos. In June, they had to change their approach: read about it HERE. Since that time, I have been a bit uninspired by the professional photographer's images submitted for fixing. Professionals will tend to get it right in camera, thus requiring little more than style.
Share as many fixes as you'd like.
Then come by Trendy Treehouse to link up your fix.
Don't forget to add a TT Button in your post ~ you can grab the regular button or Shutter Love button ~ it's up to you.
I love this picture – it's actually Tara's little girl and it has so much potential but needs a little brightening up! Rather than get crazy with my edits, I decided to keep it simple and walk you through my current workflow process.
Started in Adobe Camera Raw with an auto fix on exposure. I think opened the photo in Photoshop Elements 7 and cropped it a little closer.
From there, I made a curves adjustment. For those of you operating in PSE, you'll have to add a curves action – you can get one here.
Then I ran Squeaky Clean (it's part of my standard workflow), followed by Pioneer Woman's Boost action (adjusted to meet my tastes).
I decided that her face needed a little cleaning up, so I ran Coffeeshop's Baby Powder Room and did a little evening out…I also used this action to brighten her eyes.
Finally, I applied Everyday Elements: Florida action for a nice fresh look before resizing and sharpening for the web.

Okanagan Screen Arts film a love letter to motherhood
Film screens at Vernon Towne Cinema Aug. 13
Aug. 8, 2018 12:03 p.m.
Bonnie Anderson
Special to The Morning Star
Tully is showing Aug. 13 at the Vernon Towne Cinema by Okanagan Screen Arts Society.
This is a new endeavour from Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman (Up in the Air), Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno), and Academy Award winner Charlize Theron as Marlo, who gained 50 pounds for this role that took her a year-and-a-half to lose again.
This is a bittersweet and perceptive portrayal of a mother of three, Marlo, including a newborn, and a son who is slightly autistic, who is given a night nanny by her brother, Craig, (Mark Duplass). At first, Marlo is unsure and hesitant about having the nanny but then a unique bond forms between Marlo and the thoughtful and sometimes challenging young nanny named Tully (Mackenzie Davis).
The film was deemed to be somewhat controversial as there is some depiction of postpartum depression and other mental illness that are touched on though not specifically named. This brings to light the metamorphosis that occurs when every mother can temporarily lose sight of the woman she was when she becomes a mother.
There are some twists and turns in the movie and everything is not as simple as it seems. This becomes clearer as the movie unfolds and the results may be surprising.
Show times are 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. A cash wine bar is on site. Enjoy a pre-show intro by resident filmmaker Matt McDowell and live music in the lobby before the early show courtesy of Les Copeland. Advance tickets available at the Towne Cinema box office.
Okanagan Screen Arts Society is pleased to be in a position to offer a bursary for the 2018/2019 term to students in the Arts in their quest for higher learning at a recognized post-secondary institution. Applications may be obtained at the Vernon Towne Cinema Box Office or online at www.osa-vernon.org/bursary. Applications must be received by Aug. 17.

Boxer Amir Khan: the Most Interesting Champ in the World
by George Roush
"Boxing is the toughest sport by far."
AMIR'S WEEKLY CONDITIONING
Preconditioning (First Two Weeks) Monday: Track work High-intensity sprint drills, cones, agility drills, ladder drills (50 minutes) Tuesday: Pool work or ocean swim Quarter mile to half mile swim or sprint interval pool drills Wednesday: Off Thursday: Strength training circuit 14 plyometric and isometric exercise stations (50 minutes) Friday: Stairs 304 flights with three breaks, alternating single-step, double-step and triple-step strides between breaks Conditioning and Sparring (After First Two Weeks) Sparring three times per week, conditioning three times per week. Sparring rounds increase each week. Before sparring rounds reach six, continue with daily conditioning. When sparring rounds are above six, take day off conditioning and focus on recovery.
It's a statement that's hard to argue after watching what Amir "King" Khan endures to prepare for his next opponent, Lamont Peterson, on Peterson's home turf in America. The Pakinstani-Brit will defend his WBA Super and IBF Light Welterweight Championship titles on December 10 in Washington, DC. WILD CARD At just 24 years old, Khan is a relative rookie in the world of professional boxing, but the 27 fights he already has under his belt tell a different story. Khan started boxing when he was eight—his father's solution for his uncontrollable energy. He was an instant natural, winning numerous accolades when he started competing at the age of 11, including a gold medal at the 2003 Junior Olympics and a silver at the 2004 Olympics. Now, Khan is heralded as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, a distinction he doesn't take for granted. "I've got a job that I love doing," Amir says as he gets his hands wrapped. "I'm one of the lucky ones. And because I'm young as well, I like to learn—know what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, the techniques and how it is going to help me in a fight." Khan is surprisingly gracious and friendly in person, a departure from the popular perception of boxers—that they're unapproachable boors who would as soon give you a right hook as shake your hand. Many of the world's best boxers train at the Wild Card Boxing Gym in Hollywood, CA, where Khan works with owner and renowned trainer Freddie Roach, who also counts Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao among his clients. Even with decided victories over tough opponents like Zab Judah, Khan realizes that it's important to have the best man in the business in your corner. "Freddie's brought the best out of me. He's made me into a better fighter," Khan says. "He's made me into a fighter who uses his brains. Before I used to go in with my heart, and I have a big heart. I take shots and I'll come back in. If they want a war, we'll have a war. But Freddie said to me 'Why would you want to have a war and go crazy in a fight when you can make it easy?' And to make it easy is to stick to boxing skills." IN THE RING
Khan credits Roach with making him a smarter boxer.
Khan's ability to grow with each training session is one of the keys to his success, and his exhaustive workouts extend far beyond the ring. "We do a lot of hill running, a lot of steps. The Santa Monica steps," which are the equivalent of running up a five-story building countless times a day. "We also do a lot of swimming to keep the muscles nice and loose as well. We do a lot of sprint work, just to get the heart rate working high, because in a fight you might be pacing yourself, then bang-bang-bang, you're throwing a combination." He has the help of his father, his uncle, his best friend and even his little brother Haroon, an amateur fighter out of Pakistan. But it's inside the ring where all of his hard work comes together. "Sparring is the closest thing to a fight," Amir explains after going eight full rounds with two very formidable partners. "You're putting everything together. The techniques, the work we do with Freddie Roach on the pads and the instruction he gives me. Sparring is about getting your timing right. It's about taking shots and knowing what to expect. So it's the closest thing to a fight." If that's the closest thing to a fight, then Khan's opponents are in trouble. Even when going up against a more powerful foe, his lightning-fast jabs and footwork always keep him one step ahead of his opponent. He takes hits with a defiant, "Come on!" and absorbs more punishing blows before striking back with combinations that send his sparring partner reeling.
"It's mainly about putting everything together, pretending that I'm fighting Lamont Peterson. So I picture everything I'm going to do against him. I don't think Lamont is nowhere near as strong as the guys I'm sparring with. So if I can hang with them, when it comes to fighting Lamont, I'll be much more comfortable."
DISCIPLINE Khan trains for 10 weeks, six days a week to prepare for a fight. "It's a full-time job when I'm here. No distractions. Just focus on training, working hard. Just eat, sleep, boxing, really." Khan, like all professional athletes, also puts extra emphasis on his diet. "We have our cheat days here and there; that helps you out mentally, [but] we do watch the diet. And especially two weeks before the fight. It's like a car; you're not going to put the wrong fuel in a car, so it's like putting the right fuel in your body."
Khan admits boxers don't have sex before fights.
As for that widely reported myth that boxers abstain from sex before fights? Amir reveals, "It's true. Fighters shouldn't have sex a couple of weeks before a fight. You need as much energy in your body as possible to be at the top of your game. You need to [make] a lot of sacrifices. And it's worth it, because to be announced the winner after a fight, it's the best feeling ever." AMBITIONS OUTSIDE THE RING Despite his strict regimen, Khan is quick to say he isn't an automaton who only knows how to punch guys so hard they puke up their own livers. "I'm a chill guy. I'm quiet. I never go around saying I'm a tough guy," he says, preferring to nurse low-key hobbies than flash his status in swanky clubs. "I like to hang out with my friends. I like cars. I like watches. I like spending time with my family, going on holidays and exploring new things." And it frustrates him that his new found fame means he can't maintain his quiet lifestyle in his native U.K. anymore. "I can't walk the streets. I can't go anywhere. It's a nice thing sometimes when you can be yourself and chill. That's the reason I like training here in America because I'm left to do my training and no one really bothers me."
And to ensure that he doesn't develop a world champion ego, he turns to charity work. "I love helping because I like to stay positive and not many sportsmen do that. I build schools in Third World countries and hospitals and stuff. I've built a boxing center in Bolton, where I'm from, which keeps the kids off the street." He explains, "Because boxing changed my life forever, so I want to change all the kids' lives by having a boxing gym there—keeping them off the streets, keeping them away from the police, giving them discipline. There's computers there. They can come and do their homework there. It's in a deprived area, so not all kids can afford computers and use the Internet." Amir Khan may be young, but he's wise beyond his years. "I'd like to pass this message across to young people out there—anything in life is achievable." he says. Whether you enjoy the sport of boxing or not, Khan's inspirational words ring true—work hard and train hard, and you'll never be down for the count.

The eight-part series promises to be an eventful watch as the story is brought to a close.

Prior to His Dark Materials, Dafne starred in Logan and The Refugees. However, the BBC and HBO co-production is her most high profile role to date.
Speaking about the new series, Dafne said on This Morning: "Well, we can expect more worlds, bigger worlds. It's darker, more adventure."
She also promised the show stayed "quite loyal" to the original book trilogy and hinted fans of the novels would see romance between Lyra and Will Parry (played by Amir Wilson).
Reflecting on the end of the show, Dafne said: "I am actually quite sad."
She went on to say: "It's really sad to think that the thing I go back to every year and spend eight months with won't be [anymore]."
However, she admitted she was "excited to start playing adults" and was "over" playing children now. She said: "I've been playing the feral tween since I was nine."
Dafne added: "I've played too many goodies, I'm ready to be a villain."
Will Parry – Amir Wilson
Amir Wilson will be again taking on the role of hero Will Parry as he and Lyra embark on their biggest adventure yet.
Along with starring in His Dark Materials, Amir led Netflix's epic series The Letter for the King as well as featuring in The Secret Garden, The Magic Flute and Special Delivery.

From Atonement and The Last King of Scotland to Split and Filth, James has starred in a wide array of roles and projects over the years.
Father President MacPhail – Will Keen
Playing creepy priest Father President MacPhail is Will Keen, who is also Dafne's father in real-life.

May 1, 2019 ReviewsAlex Bower, Alex Brenner, Andrew Hawley, Elle Loudon, Harriet Green, Jack Helsby, Joseph Prestwich, Paddy Cavendish, Rebecca Loudon, Swimming, White Bear Theatrethespyinthestalls
"Bower's script, and indeed the show as a whole, are already in a pretty strong and exciting place"
Swimming is a common trope in the telling of gay stories. Think the Hampstead Men's Pond in Alan Hollinghurst's "The Line of Beauty", David Hockney's "Peter Getting Out of Nick's Pool (1966)" and the pool-side antics in coming-of-age films from "Call Me By Your Name" to "Y Tu Mamá También". Alex Bower's memorable new play draws on this rich cultural heritage to create a gripping and probing hour of drama.
Dan (Andrew Hawley) has just said so long to girlfriend of three years Marianne (Harriet Green) and the two are fairly irreconcilable. She moves in with Dan's best friend and trusty furniture-builder Ant (Jack Helsby) whilst Dan rekindles a long-forgotten desire for the male sex and starts dating Sam (Patrick Cavendish). Struggling with years of keeping in the closet, Dan begins to construct a new identity for himself – one free of the friends and girlfriends that have pigeon-holed him his whole life.
This run is described as an opportunity to "get the show on its feet" with intentions to develop it further, but Bower's script, and indeed the show as a whole, are already in a pretty strong and exciting place. Bower has created four rich and detailed characters, and he asks some intriguing questions about how we approach the spectrum of sexuality. When Ant stumbles across Sam and Dan at the lido, Bower captures well the awkwardness of two sides of a personality colliding. Dan's been straight his whole life, how can he suddenly decide he's gay?
With just four stools and some neat shifts in lighting, Rebecca Loudon's direction is reminiscent of Jamie Lloyd's current work at the Harold Pinter Theatre. Minimal and sparse, the relationships between characters are crucial. Luckily Loudon has a excellent ensemble working together effortlessly.
Moving forward, work could be done to make these characters more like people with histories than mere "types". Ant in particular feels well rounded and detailed, but Green and Cavendish are given a little less meat to chew on. I'm left contemplating the meaning of that title too. That aside, this is a promising new piece of work that ought to be seen even at this early stage of development.

ZANESVILLE – In 1807, five people met in the home of Colonel Tupper at the corner of Muskingum Avenue and Washington Street and formed the Congregational Church.
Some historians believe it was the first church established in Muskingum County. As the church grew, a small building was constructed in Putnam Hill Park.
In 1809, the group from Springfield, now called Putnam, joined with Zanesville residents across the river to form the Presbyterian Church of Zanesville and Springfield. This congregation later became the First Presbyterian Church on the northeast corner of Fourth and South streets.
By 1833, the people from the Putnam area decided they wanted their own church. The inconvenience of crossing the river was one reason they decided to separate from the Zanesville congregation.
On March 6, 1833, eighteen men met in a small brick schoolhouse on Woodlawn Avenue. Today, the site is the Woodlawn Church of Christ.
Dr. Increase Mathews, an original founder of the Putnam area, was the chairman of the committee to ascertain if it was feasible to form their own church. A.A. Guthrie was made secretary of the group and Levi Whipple was asked to say a prayer that the group would be guided by the Holy Spirit.
Whipple and Guthrie were joined by J.C. Guthrie to form a committee to determine whether funds could be raised to construct a building. The group met again March 16, 1833.
At that meeting, it was decided to plan and arrange for construction. It was to be 50 feet by 70 feet with one story above the basement. The church building was to sit on land donated by Whipple for that purpose.
The group chose Alvah Buckingham, J.C. Guthrie and Whipple to serve on the building committee. Pledges to help construct the new church were accepted in the form of money, goods or labor until they reached $5,190, enough for building the Gothic structure.
Putnam Presbyterian Church was dedicated in February 1835. Whipple, A.A. Guthrie and Edwin Putnam were elected as elders.
"We have the same number of members we had when we started," said current Pastor Herb Perry. "We are the oldest continuous congregation in the county."
The church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The first pastor of the church was the Rev. William H. Beecher. He was the brother of abolitionist and cleric Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe, who wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
In 1852, the orator and abolitionist Frederick Douglass spoke at the church.
"We are an actual historic site of the Underground Railroad," Perry said.
Several years ago, the Public Broadcasting Service came to the church to film a feature called "Passages to Freedom." A local man, James McDonald, portrayed Douglass in the PBS film.
The church offers tours by a costumed guide during the year at holidays and for school classes. It also works in conjunction with the local tourism bureau and the Pioneer and Historical Society.
With the exception of the steeple, which was added in 1866, and the pipe organ, which was installed in 1893 as a memorial to the second minister, the Rev. Addison Kingsbury, Putnam Presbyterian has changed little since its inception. Kingsbury served for 37 years and performed 3,000 sermons, 150 marriages and 430 funerals.
The pews in the church are numbered because its first members paid "pew rent," which was the custom in those days. The pulpit is constructed of wood salvaged from the Statehouse in Zanesville, which served as state capitol from 1810 until 1812.
"A number of influential and wealthy people came to this church," Perry said. "Increase Mathews and later Dorothea Frazier were members."
Perry grew up in the church and remembers Frazier from her limousine and driver. As a boy, Frazier would allow her driver to drive Perry home.
Putnam Presbyterian has nine memorial stained glass windows. Six of the nine are dedicated to members of the Guthrie, Buckingham and Sturges families. Two windows are in memory of Hudson Ward and Abraham Emery, church elders. The seventh is a memorial to Whipple.
One of the windows is called "Return of the Soul" and was constructed by the L.C. Tiffany Studios. It portrays the annunciation to Mary.
A later addition to the sanctuary is the cross to the right of the organ. It was designed by Dr. Charles Dietz and given in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gorsuch by Elizabeth Ayers Miller.
While Putnam Presbyterian Church changed little over the years, other structures sprung up around it. In 1838, the Putnam Female Seminary was built by members next to the church on its norths. It was a separate institution but was closely allied with the church. It was closed in 1902 and was purchased by the Helen Purcell Home.
In 1849, the manse was built to the north of the seminary as a home for the ministers who served there. Eunice Hale Buckingham died in 1843, but left $1,500 for the project. It was sold to private individuals, but still stands on Woodlawn Avenue.
In 1860, a Sunday school was built south of the church. The school was opened to children of all denominations and was called Union Sunday School. It was replaced in 1910, and the site now functions as the Fellowship Building.
The old church has endured many trials and tribulations over the past 180 years.
"We never closed our doors; even during the worst," Perry said. "The church was involved in the 1913 flood, but water never came up as far as the sanctuary."

Series description
In every photograph, four mysterious women – whose faces are hidden – show some playing cards. The women's clothes are simple and only slightly embellished, while the accessories – dust, tattoos, jewels – are intriguing and they thicken the mystery that surrounds the women. The atmosphere is dark, the light is sparse and never direct, and so it creates a game of shadows. In the middle of every image there are the playing cards, worn out by time, which are barer of symbols and hidden meanings. In each photograph, there is at least one ace, whose suit changes and comes back in the series; in two of the photographs there are two hidden cards, or else two cards of different suits, but same value. The meaning of this choice eludes the viewer, who therefore strives to understand the secret meaning of this choice.

Come Quando Fuori Piove
After finishing her studies, Fiorella Vair feels the need of telling her personal vision of the world through her best friend, a new camera, her beloved father's gift. Photography became for her, shy and always enchanted by her own world, the only way to truly express herself. After her father's premature demise, F. Vair suddenly interrupted her activity as a photographer. However, three years later, she acquired a Lumix: in that moment she really understand that she would truly become a photographer. She awhile experimented the street photography and then she majored in fixes lenses portraiture, a sophisticated technique which allow to take photos even with scarce brightness. Through self-timer photography, F. Vair discovers also herself. To overwhelm anxiety, fears and melancholy she is strongly inspired by Brooke Shaden and she finds in irony the effective solution. So the artist usually modifies and adjusts her photos with the help of specific programs in order to create a better vision of her own world as a sort of uncertain game. In the last years she obtained some important rewards: in 2015 and in 2016 she published her works on Digitalcamera and Nikon Photography, and, in the end, she won the Nikon Talent Prize as The best young photographer.

The benefits of bike fitting for triathlon.
I am still a newbie triathlete. I have one Olympic Distance Triathlon under my belt and was hooked from the moment the race started. I have lofty goals for racing this summer which includes racing my first Ironman 70.3 at the Timberman Triathlon. Now that I am jumping headfirst into the world of triathlon I decided it was time to get a real bike fitting and to add a tri-bar (aero-bar) set up to my bike ( I am not ready for a Triathlon Time Trial bike yet however that may be in my future).
I love my road bike. It's a Specialized Roubaix that I got before I had kids. It's nice and light with a carbon fiber frame and many carbon fiber components. Although I love my bike I had never had a professional bike fit before. Thankfully the owner of our awesome local bike shop Littleton Bike and Fitness, Dave Harkless is certified by Specialized to do the "Body Geometry" bike fit. Bike fitting can have many benefits for you for training and racing.
The "BG" Fit involved a 2-3 3 hour consult with Dave, the "Fit Specialist" which included an interview to discuss prior injuries and problems while cycling. This was followed by a structural assessment of my body which included leg length measurements, forefoot angulation, knee position and several other measurements. Dave also assessed my flexibility (which is questionable!). Then he got me on the bike for a video analysis of me on my bike as it was set up.
Once we went through these steps he began to make adjustments to my bike which included seat post adjustment, pedal adjustments as well as adjustments to the bars to optimize my position for triathlon. Dave also made some adjustments to the position of the cleats in my shoes as well as adding an insole to my left bike shoe to help with leg length discrepancy. Finally Dave added the new aero-bar set up to get me in optimal position for racing a triathlon. Tri-bars are made to allow your body to be in a more aerodynamic position.
Bike Fitting 101. The Fit Kit.
I am pretty excited to get more comfortable riding on my newly adjusted bike. Since snow is on the ground and Arctic temperatures have taken over New Hampshire I am going to be logging many quality miles on my bike on the trainer. It's going to take a little bit of time to get adjusted to the triathlon set up because your body is positioned at a different angle. As a part of the BG Fit I will go in again to see Dave to make any other necessary adjustments after I have spent some time riding for awhile.
Trying out my new tri-bar set up.
Have you ever had a professional bike fitting? Do you ride a bike for triathlon or for cross training?
Totally fascinated by this! I've never gotten my bike fitted but I can only imagine what a difference it makes!
Sheesh I never realized bike fitting was so involved. Off to read more about it!
Fascinating! I thought buying my bike for "fun" was complicated.
ugh this is something i should have done when I started riding a ton, I didn't and I am sure that is part of why i ended up with knee pain.
Yep, I had a bike fit done by a friend who is certified! I think it made a difference. I need to get re-fit though now that I have aerobars, since the fit was done before that.
Cynthia @ You Signed Up For WHAT?! recently posted…New Year, New You Health and Fitness Giveaway!
we've had several bike fits and Retul seems to work the best for us. It's crazy how much a difference it makes!
I really would like to do a mini triathlon in 2015…I wanted to do one last year but it just didn't happen. I don't own a bike though and can only swim one lap without needed a break lol LOTS of work to do! What would you suggest bike wise for a TOTAL newbie?
I need to get a proper bike fitting done…I am such a beginner when it comes to biking and I want to do a tri so this was SUPER helpful!
Awesome! I agree, the right size bike, with the right angles make a huge difference in performance and injury prevention. I had a professional bike fitting with my last bike. Unfortunately that used bike turned out to be a heavy beast, so I bought a better new-to-me bike recently and need to bring it in to my LBS to determine if the frame is the right size for me or not. The bike needs some repairs (the shifters broke and I suspect this has something to do with my kids playing in the basement where I had the bike set up on a trainer). I need to find out if the bike is the right size before I can begin to contemplate getting the repairs done. I may just end up selling it as is, and buy myself a brand new one that's the right size.
My girlfriend races bikes and I have friends who are triathletes and so getting fitted for your bike can't be emphasized enough. Otherwise doing centuries and triathlons become cumbersom and you also don't want to fall from poor form. My husband did and tore his rotator cuff.
Wow. I had no idea about any of this!

I've never done a triathalon but I think I'd like to someday! This is great information that I'm sure would come in handy!


CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - Three separate tornadoes spawned from the same storm cell that moved through Cape Girardeau, Missouri and Union County, Illinois on Thursday night, May 31. This comes after a survey team assessed the storm damage on Friday.

Stratasys announces acquisition of SLA 3D printer company RPS
RPS' NEO machines.
Stratasys has announced the acquisition of RP Support (RPS), adding the UK-based company's offering of stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing systems to its product portfolio.
The company has said the takeover of RPS gives it a 'full suite of solutions across the product life cycle' and expects the acquisition to be 'slightly accretive' to revenue and non-GAAP per-share earnings by the end of 2021.
Though Stratasys announced its entry into the stereolithography market in April 2019 through the launch of V650 Flex, which is said to feature a 500 x 500 x 580 mm build volume and be supported by an open materials architecture, the company has moved to acquire RPS and its SLA offering. RPS has launched two series of its NEO SLA machine; one of which is the NEO 800, with an 800 x 800 x 600 mm build volume, and the other is the NEO 450 with a 450 x 450 x 400 mm build volume. Both systems are open to third party resins, giving users access to properties like chemical resistance, heat tolerance, flexibility and durability, and are backed up by the Titanium control software.

The NEO systems are suitable for application in prototyping, tooling, investment casting patterns, anatomical modelling and the printing of clear aligner moulds, many of the same applications the V650 Flex was touted for back in April 2019. Bringing the NEO platforms under its umbrella, Stratasys says it intends to leverage its global go-to-market infrastructure – the same network that attracted Origin to agree to a $100m deal late last year – to 'bring the RPS Neo line to an expanded set of applications in the global market,' while also integrating its GrabCAD Print workflow software into future versions of the product.
"As businesses accelerate their embrace and adoption of additive manufacturing, our goal is providing our global customers with the world's best and most complete polymer 3D printing portfolio," commented Stratasys CEO Yoav Zeif. "We believe the Neo products are superior relative to other solutions currently available in the market due to an open choice in resins, low service requirements and reliable and accurate builds with simple day-to-day operation. With access to our strong global channels and our innovative GrabCAD software, we will bring RPS' innovative products to many more manufacturing organisations."
"We developed the Neo line to raise the industry standard for the next generation large-frame industrial stereolithography 3D printers," offered RPS Director David Storey. "I'm looking forward to continuing to develop this best-in-class technology with the Stratasys team as we bring our products to a broadened global audience."

Jan Pieńkowski is an illustrator most famous for the 'Meg and Mog' series, but I particularly like his silhouette work, which is a very different style. He has illustrated a number of fairytales like this; the image shown is a story about Baba Yaga from a collection called "The Kingdom under the Sea" and I think that the swirling, marbled backgrounds give a sense of a magical, otherworldly setting.
Although his silhouettes are detailed I don't think his work ever looks particularly cluttered. In this picture there are a number of narrative elements – I find the chicken-legged house particularly intriguing, and you could probably come up with a story just by looking at this single image.
I owned this book as a child and really loved the sense of atmosphere in the illustrations, some of which were quite dark/creepy. I'd recommend his older work as I think in more recent books the silhouettes are more cartoon-like and less elegant, though it may be that they're aimed at younger children.

CAR Region
Abra town to regulate riding in tandem
May 12, 2015 September 22, 2016 Dexter A. See
BANGUED, Abra – The municipal council here approved an ordinance regulating riding in tandem as one of the local peace and order initiatives to curb the use of motorcycles in shooting incidents and contribute in reducing riding in tandem shooting incidents in preparation for the solid peace and order programs for the upcoming May 2016 elections.
The ordinance No. 48 series of 2015 Regulating Motorcycle Riding in Tandem in the Municipality of Bangued authored by Councilor Joel Bolante and co-authored by all members of the Sangguniang Bayan prohibits male back riders or passengers who are not within the first degree of consanguinity of the driver.
Bolante explained the ordinance is aimed at controlling criminality in Bangued as many killing and shooting incidents are often perpetrated by criminal elements using motorcycles as modes of transport in executing their criminal acts considering the fact that the seat of government is in the capital town, thus, the need to initiate programs to aver the commission of crimes that tend to taint the image of the whole province.
"We are elated that the ordinance was able to pass the review of the provincial board because we really need to implement significant programs and initiatives to lessen the proliferation of shooting incidents in the capital town, especially with the expected political rivalry that would result to violence in the upcoming elections next year," Bolante stressed.
For the past three decades, Abra has been tagged as the killing fields of the north because of the proliferation of numerous violent incidents that resulted to the untimely death of feuding politicians and their supporters, raising a culture of fear and violence among the people.
Bolante said the implementation of the ordinance will contribute in changing the peace and order landscape of the province with barely less than a year before the May 2016 elections and just over five months before the filing of certificates of candidacy of politicians aspiring for various elected positions.
The Bangued councilor disclosed the ordinance was patterned after a similar Riding in Tandem Ordinance in Mandaluyong City also crafted as a deterrent to crimes and that it is expected to take effect on May 16 following the conduct of consultations with all stakeholders who seemingly favoured the implementation of the local legislative measure to curb the proliferation of riding in tandem incidents here.
Section 4 of the Ordinance states that all motorcycle riding in tandem is allowed when the back rider is a female, a spouse of the driver and a relative within the first degree of consanguinity and a child from 7 to 10 years old.
Also allowed to be riding in tandem are members of the Philippine National Police and the Philippine National Police who are on-duty and in complete uniform and using red plate motorcycles.
The ordinance also sets penalties of P 1,000 penalty for the first offense, P 2,000 penalty for the second offense, PhP 2,500 penalty for third offense violation or three months imprisonment are both at the discretion of the court.
Councilor Bolante emphasized the ordinance is now in the process of information dissemination before it will be implemented by the PNP by May 16 after the Sangguniang Panlalawigan approved the local measure.
He cited the ordinance will also be due for evaluation within six months as the municipal council will be addressing concerns that riding in tandem activities of criminals may also be perpetrated by women, father and son tandems and other perpetrators as he claimed the ordinance will be up for review by the municipal council to make it an effective measure to fight criminality and be a lasting peace and order initiative that will significantly put an end to the proliferation of riding in tandem incidents in the town.
While he disclosed there was much debate prior to the approval of the ordinance, the end goal of their ordinance was to prevent fear from proliferating especially during the election period and to lessen shooting incidents in the province to sustain the initial gains of the May 2013 mid-term elections that resulted to Abra having achieved zero election-related violence and incidents then.
The PNP is expected to submit to the municipal council a periodic assessment on the implementation of the local legislative measure in order to facilitate the introduction of amendments that would strengthen its implementation for the benefit of the attainment of lasting peace in the province.

Q: Extract content from log file from share location and send email in tabular format along with new headings to email I am trying to automate few of the daily health check tasks using PowerShell.
I would like to achieve the following (Step by Step), though I have a partial success in few,

*

*Extract content of text (Log) file located at shared location (I have succeeded) by defining $Path = Set-Location ... etc.,

*Send email (succeeded) to mail box, by defining

*Real help I need is here,
I want Headings to be appended in Email, along with original extracted text from Step 1,
For ex..
Original Text looks like this (extracted from text file at shared location):

01-01-2018 Number of Successful object - 1

I would like to add the header for this on email, like

date         Description          Number of Objects
01-01-2018   Successful objects   1

A: Assuming the content from the log file gathered in Step 1 is a string array of log entries where every string has a format similar to '01-01-2018 Number of Successful object - 1 '
In this example I call that array $logEntries
# create an array to store the results objects in
$result = @()

# loop through this array of log entries
$logEntries | ForEach-Object {
    # Here every text line is represented by the special variable $_
    # From your question I gather they all have this format:
    # '01-01-2018 Number of Successful object - 1 '
    if ($_ -match '(?<date>\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4})\s+(?<description>[^\-\d]+)[\s\-]+(?<number>\d+)\s*$') {
        # Try to get the 'Succesful' or 'Failed' (??) text part out of the description
        $description = ($matches['description'] -replace 'Number of|object[s]?', '').Trim() + ' object'
        if ([int]$matches['number'] -ne 1) { $description += 's' }
        # add to the result array
        $result += New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property ([ordered]@{
            'Date'              = $matches['date']
            'Description'       = $description
            'Number of Objects' = $matches['number']
        })
    }
}

# now decide on the format of this result
# 1) as plain text in tabular form.
# This looks best when used with a MonoSpaced font like Courier or Consolas.
$result | Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-String

# or 2) as HTML table. You will have to style this table in your email.
# You may include a stylesheet using the '-CssUri' parameter, but inserting
# it in a nicely drawn-up HTML template will give you more creative freedom.
$result | ConvertTo-Html -As Table -Fragment

p.s. because the PSObject has [ordered] properties, this needs PowerShell version 3.0 or better.
