Чередовский — государственный природный заказник (комплексный) регионального (областного) значения Московской области, целью которого является сохранение в первозданном виде природных комплексов, их компонентов в естественном состоянии; восстановление нарушенных природных комплексов, поддержание экологического баланса.

Заказник основан в 2020 году. Местонахождение: Московская область, Волоколамский городской округ, между деревней Чередово, СНТ «Тихая горка», СНТ «Чередово», деревней Вишенки, СНТ «Озёрное» и деревней Каменки. Общая площадь заказника составляет 994,39 га. Заказник включает кварталы 23, 34, 36, 39—42, 47, 48, 52, 60 Судниковского участкового лесничества Волоколамского лесничества.

Описание

Территория заказника приурочена к привершинной части Московской возвышенности и находится в зоне распространения ландшафтов грядово-холмистых и плоскохолмистых моренных и моренно-водноледниковых свежих, влажных и сырых равнин. Абсолютные высоты заказника изменяются от 235 м над уровнем моря (урез воды в водоёме в юго-западной части территории) до 285 м над уровнем моря (вершина холма в северной части территории).

Заказник предназначен для:
 сохранения и восстановления природных комплексов;
 сохранения местообитаний редких видов растений, грибов, лишайников и животных;
 ведения мониторинга видов животных, растений, грибов и лишайников, занесённых в Красную книгу Московской области;
 выполнения научно-исследовательских работ по изучению объектов особой охраны заказника.

Заказник включает грядово-холмистые моренные равнины со множеством верховых и переходных болот, образовавшихся в межхолмовых понижениях.

Кровля дочетвертичных пород местности представлена глинами и песками келловейского яруса, а также глинами оксфордского и нижнего волжского яруса юрского периода. Поверхностные четвертичные отложения на междуречных равнинах здесь представлены конечноморенными отложениями московского возраста — валунными суглинками и супесями с линзами грубых песков, с гравием, щебнем и валунами. Район расположения заказника характеризуется обращённым рельефом, мощность моренных накоплений достигает здесь 6—10 м.

В пределах немногочисленных речных долин на надпойменных террасах образовались древнеаллювиальные пески и супеси с гравийно-галечными образованиями в основании. По руслам малых рек представлен современный аллювий, образованный песками, суглинками, супесями с прослоями торфа, гравия и гальки. По заболоченным понижениям образовались отложения торфа и иловатых суглинков озёрно-болотного генезиса.

Территория заказника характеризуется наличием большого количества холмов морённого и камового генезиса округлой формы с плоскими вершинами и пологими склонами высотой 20—30 м. Крутизна склонов холмов обычно не превышает 5 градусов. Протяжённость холмов изменяется от 400 до 1000 м, ширина — от 300 до 700 м. На склонах холмов встречаются эрозионные борозды шириной около 1 м и слабовыраженные ложбины шириной до 2 м с плоскими днищами и пологими склонами. По склонам холмов и эрозионным формам действуют соответственно делювиальные и пролювиальные рельефообразующие процессы.

Восточная оконечность территории заказника включает фрагмент долины реки Оселье (впадающей в Озёрнинское водохранилище) в её верхнем течении. Долина реки Оселье характеризуется корытообразным поперечным профилем с плоским днищем и поймой шириной до 3—6 м.

Между холмами образовались плоские межхолмовые понижения, характеризующиеся застойным увлажнением и нередко занятые болотами верхового и переходного типа (часто с участками низинных) разных размеров.

Наиболее крупное верховое (с участками переходного) болото «Горелое» площадью около 9 га сформировалось в юго-западной оконечности заказника в западной части квартала 52 Судниковского участкового лесничества Волоколамского лесничества. Болотный массив имеет форму, близкую к овальной, и протяжённость около 500 м. В районе северо-восточной окраины болота под склоном морённого холма на временных водотоках имеются бобровые плотины.

Другое крупное верховое (с участками низинных и переходных) болото находится в центральной части заказника (квартал 40 Судниковского участкового лесничества Волоколамского лесничества) в седловине между холмами. Болотная котловина имеет неправильную форму, длина и ширина котловины составляют около 350 м. Площадь болота — около 6,2 га.

На западе территории в 200 м друг от друга образовались две овальные котловины, занятые верховыми болотами. Более крупное болото расположено в квартале 34 Судниковского участкового лесничества Волоколамского лесничества и имеет площадь 5,8 га. Второе площадью 5,4 га расположено на границе кварталов 34 и 39 Судниковского участкового лесничества Волоколамского лесничества. Также в центральной части квартала 39 в пределах ложбины в верховьях Педни образовался заболоченный участок с мочажинами протяжённостью около 500 м и площадью около 6 га.

Помимо процессов торфонакопления на таких заболоченных территориях происходит образование фитогенных форм нанорельефа — растительных кочек, искорей, поваленных стволов деревьев и приствольных повышений. Высоты кочек и повышений достигают 0,5—0,6 м.

В пределах территории заказника образован ряд антропогенных форм рельефа. В западной части заказника (южная оконечность квартала 34 Судниковского участкового лесничества Волоколамского лесничества) находится песчано-гравийный карьер площадью 2,3 га. На юге заказника (квартал 60 Судниковского участкового лесничества Волоколамского лесничества) образован обводнённый карьер площадью 8,4 га. По берегам обводнённого карьера образована канава шириной до 3—4 м, насыпная дамба высотой 0,7 м, а также воронкообразное понижение диаметром до 5 м и до 2 м глубиной.

Заказник располагается на междуречье рек Педня, Каменка (бассейн реки Рузы) и Оселье (правый приток Озерны), в которые направлен гидрологический сток территории. Восточная оконечность заказника включает участок русла реки Оселье. Ширина русла составляет 0,5—1 м, глубина — до 0,5 м. Дно реки сложено песками и супесями с гравием и галькой. В пределах русла имеются многочисленные бобровые плотины диаметром от 2 до 5 м.

На юге заказника в пределах карьера образовался водоём подковообразной формы с останцовым полуостровом посередине. Длина водоёма — около 400 м, ширина — 230 м. Дно озера илистое, глубина у берега обычно не превышает 0,2—0,3 м. Берега заболоченные. К северо-восточной части озера примыкает низинное болото.

Почвенный покров моренных равнин заказника представлен дерново-подзолистыми и подзолистыми почвами, сформировавшимися на суглинистых отложениях. В ложбинах и западинах с замедленным дренажем образовались дерново-подзолисто-глеевые и перегнойно-глеевые почвы. На болотах встречаются торфяные олиготрофные и торфяные эутрофные почвы.

Флора и растительность
На территории заказника преобладают еловые и осиново-еловые кисличные, папоротниково-кисличные и папоротниково-широкотравно-кисличные леса. Небольшие площади заняты низинными, переходными и верховыми болотами, осинниками с елью, заболоченными березняками, сырыми лугами. Широко распространены зарастающие вырубки и лесокультуры.

На самых высоких уровнях (поверхностях и склонах камов) произрастают сосново-еловые леса таёжного типа с типичными бореальными видами — черникой, брусникой, майником двулистным, грушанками, золотарником обыкновенным, ожикой волосистой, вероникой лекарственной и зелёными мхами. На месте одного из таких камов есть заброшенный карьер, зарастающий берёзой, ольхой серой и елью, на открытых участках встречается колючник Биберштейна, а в лесу — любка двулистная (последние два вида — редкие и уязвимые виды, не включённые в Красную книгу Московской области, но нуждающиеся на её территории в постоянном контроле и наблюдении).

Повышения водоразделов заняты субнеморальными еловыми и берёзово-еловыми с осиной кислично-широкотравными лесами с лещиной, дубравным широкотравьем и папоротниками.

Еловые леса заказника на плоских поверхностях водоразделов отличаются высокой сомкнутостью крон и обилием в травяном покрове кислицы обыкновенной. Часть этих лесов по происхождению является старыми лесокультурами. Возраст еловых лесов — чаще средневозрастные, реже — спелые леса, диаметр стволов елей составляет в среднем 30—35 см. Из травянистых растений в них обычны ожика волосистая, осока пальчатая, живучка ползучая, костяника и мицелис стенной, а также папоротник — щитовник картузианский. В этих сообществах также отмечены подлесник европейский и ветреница дубравная. В условиях повышенного увлажнения развиты ельники хвощево-кисличные и папоротниково-хвощево-кисличные. На ветвях старых елей произрастают редкие, охраняемые виды лишайников, занесённые в Красную книгу Московской области: бриория буроватая (сивоватая), бриория волосовидная, уснея почти цветущая.

В их травяном покрове участвуют различные виды осок, камыш лесной, вейник сероватый, сабельник болотный, таволга вязолистная, мох — аулакомниум болотный. На низинных болотах, представленных по краю переходных и верховых, обилен тростник южный, ива пепельная, вейник сероватый, сабельник, кизляк кистецветный, белокрыльник болотный, изредка группы образует рогоз широколистный. Довольно крупное низинное болото сабельниково-осоковое имеется рядом с лесным озером в 52 квартале Судниковского участкового лесничества Волоколамского лесничества. На озере выражена осоково-сабельниковая сфагновая сплавина с хвощом приречным, в воде растут кувшинки белоснежные (редкий и уязвимый вид, не включённый в Красную книгу Московской области, но нуждающийся на её территории в постоянном контроле и наблюдении).

Переходные болота в виде узких полос окружают верховые сосновые болота или искусственные водоёмы. Характерной чертой таких болот является обилие осоки волосистоплодной и сфагновых мхов. Обычны также осока чёрная, вздутая, топяная, вахта трёхлистная, тиселинум болотный и белокрыльник болотный, пушица многоколосковая. Редко здесь отмечена пушица стройная (редкий и уязвимый вид, не включённый в Красную книгу Московской области, но нуждающийся на её территории в постоянном контроле и наблюдении).

В крайней восточной части заказника имеется заболоченный чернично-долгомошно-сфагновый березняк с пушицей и единичными осоками. Здесь найден подберёзовик разноцветный, или подосиновик пёстрый, бриория буроватая (сивоватая), бриория волосовидная (виды занесённые в Красную книгу Московской области).

На территории заказника имеются несколько верховых сосновых кустарничково-сфагновых или пушицево-сфагновых болот, местами с участием берёзы. Сосны на таких болотах имеют высоту от 4—5 до 10—15 м в зависимости от характера болота и от наличия или отсутствия в прошлом пожаров. Берёза представлена чаще всего только подростом. Обычен и подрост ели, на ветвях которой растут редкие, занесённые в Красную книгу Московской области лишайники — уснея жестковолосатая и бриория буроватая (сивоватая).

Фауна
Животный мир заказника является типичным для природных сообществ еловых и смешанных лесов запада Московской области. На территории заказника обитают 64 вида позвоночных животных, относящихся к 16 отрядам 5 классов, в том числе 1 вид рыб, 3 вида амфибий, 1 вид рептилий, 45 видов птиц и 14 видов млекопитающих.

Ихтиофауна заказника представлена единственным видом рыб — карасём серебряным, обитающим в обводнённом карьере в южной части заказника.

Основу фаунистического комплекса наземных позвоночных животных составляют виды, характерные для хвойных и смешанных лесов Нечернозёмного центра России. Доминируют виды, экологически связанные с древесно-кустарниковой растительностью. Синантропные виды в фауне заказника не выявлены, что говорит о её хорошей сохранности.

В границах заказника выделяются четыре основные ассоциации фауны (зооформации): хвойных лесов, лиственных лесов, водно-болотных местообитаний и лугово-опушечных местообитаний.

Зооформация хвойных лесов привязана в своём распространении на обсуждаемой территории к еловым, сосново-еловым и хвойно-мелколиственным лесам разных типов, занимая её преобладающую часть. Основу населения хвойных лесов составляют чиж, желтоголовый королёк, желна, крапивник, сойка, ворон, буроголовая гаичка, лесная куница, рыжая полёвка, белка. В старых еловых лесах заказника с подлеском из лещины встречается кедровка — вид, занесённый в Красную книгу Московской области. На участках усыхающих ельников обитает ещё один редкий вид птиц территории заказника — трёхпалый дятел, занесённый в Красную книгу Московской области.

В составе зооформации лиственных и смешанных лесов территории заказника преобладают выходцы из европейских широколиственных лесов: зарянка, чёрный дрозд, иволга, обыкновенная кукушка, славка-черноголовка, пеночка-трещотка, мухоловка-пеструшка, обыкновенная лазоревка, малая лесная мышь.

Во всех типах лесов заказника встречаются зяблик, обыкновенный поползень, большой пёстрый дятел, вальдшнеп, обыкновенный снегирь, вяхирь, певчий дрозд, белобровик, пеночка-весничка, пеночка-теньковка, большая синица, лазоревка, длиннохвостая синица, обыкновенный ёж и заяц-беляк.

Зооформация лугово-опушечных местообитаний играет важную роль в поддержании биоразнообразия обследованной территории. На территории заказника этот тип животного населения связан с лесными полянами, опушками и вырубками. Среди пресмыкающихся именно эти биотопы предпочитает живородящая ящерица. Характерными представителями фауны птиц данных местообитаний являются канюк, лесной конёк, серая славка, сорока, луговой чекан, черноголовый щегол, обыкновенная чечевица и скворец. По опушкам и вырубкам заказника встречается полевой лунь, занесённый в Красную книгу Московской области. Среди млекопитающих в этих сообществах наиболее часто встречаются обыкновенный крот и пашенная полёвка.

Долины малых речек и ручьёв территории, лесные болота и обводнённый карьер в южной части заказника служат местом обитания видов водно-болотной зооформации. Среди амфибий здесь довольно многочисленны прудовая, травяная и остромордая лягушки. Среди птиц эти биотопы предпочитают кряква, серая цапля, кулик-черныш и обыкновенный соловей. Из редких видов на участках низинных болот, по берегам водоёмов, лесных полянах и вырубках кормится чёрный коршун, занесённый в Красную книгу Московской области. Также на лесных полянах, в заболоченных лесах, на низинных и верховых болотах заказника встречается ещё один редкий вид — серый журавль, занесённый в Красную книгу Московской области. Из млекопитающих на речке Оселье, ручьях и карьерах территории обитает речной бобр.

Во всех типах естественных местообитаний заказника встречаются ласка, лось, благородный олень, кабан, обыкновенная лисица.

Объекты особой охраны заказника
Охраняемые экосистемы: еловые, берёзово-еловые и осиново-еловые кисличные, папоротниково-кисличные и папоротниково-широкотравно-кисличные леса; низинные, переходные и верховые болота, старовозрастные осиновые хвощево-широкотравные леса; заболоченные березняки, сырые и свежие луга, пойменные луга с кустарниками и группами ольхи чёрной и черёмухи.

Thank you to all who attended our annual Spring Reception last week! As always, it was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the College. Hundreds of members of the Peirce community gathered together under the tents on Carlisle Street for an evening of food, drinks, friends, laughs, and networking. The skies might have opened up for parts of the evening, but a little rain never stopped us!
The Alumni Association honored several standout Peirce people during the event. Albert G. Cederstrom, Jr. '43 was the recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award. As we blogged about previously, Al announced as he accepted his award that he has committed $50,000 to establish the Albert G. Cederstrom and Emilie I. Cederstrom Memorial Fund for Human Resource Management. The Alumni Association also honored Babette Pace '06 with the 2012 Distinguished Service Award. She has done outstanding work on behalf of Peirce with students, alumni, faculty, and the paralegal community. Peirce President James J. Mergiotti and Peirce Alumni Association President Steven Wurtz '08 also stepped to the podium to reflect on the events of the past year.
Be sure to watch our previously posted video featuring Mr. Cederstrom and his gift, and then watch the video below for more highlights from our Spring Reception -- maybe you'll see your own face in the crowd!

ASU wins team, individual crowns at Women's Collegiate Nationals
TimothyCarlson Sat Nov 16 2019
Arizona State University won its fourth straight NCAA Division I team title at the Women's Collegiate Triathlon Nationals Championships held at Tempe Town Lake for the third year in a row. Queens University of Charlotte, North Carolina earned its 5th consecutive Division II crown and North Central College won the Division III prize for the 4th year in a row.
On a cloudy 81-degree day in Arizona, 126 competitors from 25 varsity teams contested the 6th women's collegiate national championship on a sprint–distance course which included a 750-meter swim, a 20 kilometer bike leg and a 5 kilometer run.
ASU stars Kyla Roy and Audrey Ernst finished 1-2 to take individual honors in Division I. Natalie Hidalgo Martinez of Davis and Elkins College won the Division II individual gold and Madelyn Scopp of North Central College won the Division III individual top prize.
The reason that this NCAA Championship has been offered for women only is that triathlon was approved as an NCAA Emerging Sport for Women in 2014, and the first varsity Women's National Triathlon Championships were held in the Fall of 2015. The sport has a 10-year window to demonstrate sustainability at the NCAA level. The provisional target will be 40 NCAA schools sponsoring varsity women's triathlon. Currently, 31 schools offer varsity women's triathlon, up from 26 at this time last year.
The ASU Sun Devils, looking for a four-peat, were prohibitive favorites in Division I as they swept all three Regional qualifiers. The squad was led by two-time individual champion Hannah Henry, and Kyla Roy, who won two of the three regional qualifiers.
In the combined DI and DII wave which took off last at 1:30 p.m. ASU's Lira Stanley led the field out of the water in 9:33, followed closely by Sun Devil teammates Hannah Henry, Audrey Ernst, Kyla Roy and Liberty Ricca and South Dakota's prime contender Leah Drengenberg. That lead group of six broke away to a one minute lead on the first lap of the bike leg, On the bell lap Roy and Ernst surged into a slight lead.
Roy defended that lead with a race-best 20:15 split for the 5-kilometer run which brought her to the line in 1:05:22 with a 30-seconds margin of victory over Ernst, who lost 27 seconds to Roy's superior run. Drengenberg of South Dakota grabbed the final spot on the podium with a 21:23 run which left her 1:59 behind the winner.
"It's so cool to have all my friends and family here in Tempe," Roy told USA Triathlon media. "Audrey (Ernst) was so strong on the bike, she really pushed the pace. On the run, I just kind of went for it. I thought Audrey was right behind me, and then I got to the turnaround and she was a little bit behind — so I said, 'Let's go, Audrey!'"
Natalie Hidalgo Martinez of Davis & Elkins College had a race-best 19:32 run to emerge from the chase pack to win the Division II title and take third overall in 1:06:30. "Of course, my first goal was to be the national DII champion, but when I was biking and running, I started thinking, 'Okay, never mind DII, DI, I just want to do my best race," Hidalgo Martinez told USA Triathlon media." "This represents how far (her team, Davis & Elkins) can go, because it's just our second year."
In the DIII wave which began at 11:30 A.M., Grace Miller of North Central led the swim and teamed up with Amira Faulknere of Trine University to establish an early lead on the bike leg. Miller and Faulknere kept that lead throughout the 20 kilometer bike, arriving at T2 with a significant lead on a chase pack that included Annika Cotner and Madelyn Scopp of North Central and Alexandria Smith of Trine.
Thanks to a Division III best run of 20:45, Scopp crossed the finish line in 1:11:08 with a 19 seconds margin of victory over Faulknere (21:34 run) and 1:33 over 3rd place finisher Cotner (22:16 run).
"It didn't come easy," Scopp told USA Triathlon media. "I was working from the back in the swim. On the bike I just worked with my teammates. We all toughed it out and got to the run, which was hard in itself because it was out in the sun. Knowing that the finish line was coming up, that was the motivation. We're always working together, practicing drafting, pushing each other to do our best, and it's great that we're going to be able to represent North Central College here for the first-place team."

While asserting one's dominance, they tend to leave behind a trail of tears.
There's still a divot on the left side of mom's bed.
It's colder now than before he left, only because I sleep with my little sister when my dreams get dark. The left side is always tucked in, the corners and the pillows still flat, just how he likes it. Even though sometimes mom shivers, I hope he's warm at night… regardless of the woman on his right.
Part of me still wishes it was mom that was with him.
I don't really talk about it anymore, I never have, only when my best friend and I are driving into the depths of Kenosha, way past curfew. For some reason it always comes to mind then. I feel safe talking about it, but that's on a rare occasion.
When I tell her how he let another woman into his life when he already had three, my voice cracks.
I don't even realize, but I begin yelling, yelling so loud I can't hear my voice cracking or words shaking.
All I can hear is the excuses I keep making for him, the excuses I've made for him since the day he left.
The power he has over my family and me is sickening.
He flipped our lives upside down. No one can fix it, not even him.
Every Wednesday night I drove down the darkest street in town.
She lived pretty much in the middle of nowhere, hidden from the rest of the world. To pass time, we screamed Adele lyrics the entire way to the Rec, where we had practice twice a week. I didn't think much of it; I confided in her when she questioned why I was quieter than usual and I was grateful that she always wanted to listen. I'd describe her as very similar to her house: closed off and dark.
As young, emotional teenagers, we talk to whomever will listen. We usually don't have to question why one of our closest friends always wants to take the long way home, asks to come inside when they drop you off after a late practice, gets upset when you don't call before falling asleep or reads your diary without asking. At least I didn't question it, like she always said, I owed her for how good of a friend she was to me.
She was always there when no one else was, she only allowed herself to be. She'd get upset if anyone else tried to comfort me first.
I left family parties early, bailed on my friends and lied to my significant other just because I "owed her," and when she wanted to see me. I had to see her. If I didn't comply, she would throw a pity party for herself… she thrived off of my guilt; it made her stronger.
I'll never understand her crippling sense of humor because everything I find serious has always just been a joke.
I have never been afraid to play the sport that I am passionate about.
It's something that makes the worst days tolerable; it gives a tired heart something to look forward to. Yes, I know: it's just a sport; however, it's more than that for me. It's how I've spent every one of my summers since I was eight years old; I've had to miss sleepovers, family reunions, parties; it's a sacrifice.
The only way I can describe it is defeat.
I felt defeated; I still do.
The man who almost cost me my softball career coaches some of my idols. I dreamt of playing for him since I was small.
He didn't stunt my playing skills, but he did make me question them.
Like my mom always said: he clearly knows more than I do. This is why I had to take the punches that were thrown.
On the bus on our way back from games, I would drag my finger down the window and watch the dewy trail it left behind. I would think about all the things I was told were wrong and harshly contemplate if I ever wanted to play again. Despite the traumatic few months, I was with my travel team again. The environment was drastically different and even though I felt at peace with people I considered my second family, I was still hesitant to put myself out there for others judgement.
I waited and waited, until I couldn't wait anymore.
I begged for answers, pondered new questions and everything in my mind raced about, but never got a response.
He told me to stop taking his absence so personal;he told me to get out of my head;he told me that I knew how he felt and overreacting was silly.
That's all we were, that's all I was: silly.
Even though waiting is long and painful, I was happy.
I was happy because I would rather him be distantly in my life than not at all.
That's exactly what he wanted: an ego boost every once and awhile, someone to make him feel wanted.
I have always pictured love as something different than this, more magical.
Maybe that's why I am taking his loud spoken actions so personal.
Maybe that's why the palace I've created in my head is slowly crumbling, but I continued to wait and watch the faucet drip until it ran dry.
Now the only thing that's "silly," is how I feel.
Like an open wound that was only stitched halfway then left to heal on its own.

Open Letter – Fondation de Gaspé Beaubien & Aqua Forum commends the ban on single-use plastics
By Laurence
Ottawa to Phase Out Plastics
The transition away from single-use plastics can be supported by emerging innovation and the cleantech sector
By Nan-B and François de Gaspé Beaubien, respectively, Founder and Chair of Aqua Forum
Today, the Government of Canada released its preliminary list of banned single-use plastic items and announced its plan to designate plastic a toxic substance. The de Gaspé Beaubien Foundation and the organization it created to address freshwater challenges in Canada, Aqua Forum, applaud this decision as it marks an important moment in our country's history. A year ago, we shared our recommendations both to phase out plastic bottles and to facilitate access to safe drinking water for all Canadians. While we hope that bottles will be included in the ban on some single-use plastics, we are pleased to hear that the heart of our message, and that of many Canadians, has been heard.
Surrounded by three oceans, the world's longest coastline, and encompassing 20% of the world's total freshwater, Canada is a water nation.
Yet, all too often, we overlook the water within our borders. If we do not act decisively, the lack of access to safe drinking water in Indigenous communities, the contamination of water sources in municipalities across Canada, and the impact of climate change on water security will irrevocably compromise the triple bottom line of human health, environmental sustainability and economic viability.
Canada now needs to lead the way in water technology in order to drive innovation and ecologically sustainable growth.
Inspired by a new generation and building on our experience in Canadian business and signature initiatives such as Expo 67 and ParticipAction, our family decided to dedicate itself to the critical issue of freshwater in Canada. Five years ago, we launched Aqua Forum. Through its flagship AquaHacking Challenge, the organization takes an innovative approach by engaging young tech entrepreneurs across Canada to find solutions to some of the country's most wicked water challenges – including combatting the plastic pollution crisis.
Through our AquaHacking Challenge, young innovators have been tasked with addressing the issue of plastic pollution in aquatic environments. From this process emerged several new water technology start-ups that developed innovative methods and products to better capture plastics in our water and to reduce the reliance on plastic products.
To name one, Poly-Mer (participants in the 2017 AquaHacking Challenge) developed an innovative filter that captures microplastics in freshwater ecosystems before they reach the oceans where it becomes more difficult and more costly to trap them.
To complement the innovative policies led by the government, Canada will require innovative technologies to meet the demands of the market without relying on the products offered by the plastics industry as it currently operates. As evidenced in successful start-ups established through the AquaHacking Challenges and that continue to thrive and grow to this day, young entrepreneurs and tech start-ups are a key source of solutions to today's industrial and environmental challenges. For promising start-ups to become commercial successes, further investment is needed in terms of funding, mentorship. knowledge-sharing and partnerships to pilot and test new technologies.
The government's initiative represents an unprecedented opportunity for those next-generation entrepreneurs and experts to lead the way in this transition to a cleaner, greener future. Let us all embrace this opportunity and help make Canada a superpower in clean water.


Mercedes-Benz Türk CEO Süer Sülün, Daimler IT Joint Solutions and Services Director Christoph Röger and Mercedes-Benz Türk's Daimler Global IT Solutions Centre Director Özlem Vidin Engindeniz have gathered at the meeting organized as part of the centre's 5th anniversary celebrations.
Süer Sülün: "We Export Information Technology Expertise from Turkey to The World"
Mercedes-Benz Türk CEO Süer Sülün has emphasized the importance of Mercedes-Benz Türk in Daimler's network and said: "Thanks to the Global IT Solutions Centre inaugurated by Daimler with over 4 million Euros of investment since 2013, we export information technologies and expertise from Turkey to the whole world. In the digitalized world, companies began to change their way of business. Today, information collection and its correct analysis are among the most valuable resources for the automotive sector. Our centre was assigned very valuable tasks in Daimler's digital transformation and thanks to our achievements with each passing day, we continue to assume new tasks. In the 51-year history of our company, this centre has become one of our investments that has kept up with the changing needs of our era and thanks to this centre, we've established a centre that serves the entire world from Turkey.

Özlem Vidin Engindeniz: "Turkey Is an Important and Growing Market for Daimler."
Daimler Global IT Solutions Centre Director Özlem Vidin Engindeniz said: "Turkey is an important and growing market for our parent company Daimler. Following India, the inauguration of Daimler's 2nd Global It Solutions Centre in İstanbul with Mercedes-Benz Türk at the end of 2013, is one of the most important examples of it."
Christoph Röger: "We've Proved Our Trust in Turkey"
In his statement at the meeting, Daimler IT Joint Solutions and Services Director Christoph Röger said: "As Daimler AG, our goal is to offer not just products but also an ecosystem to our customers with our passenger and load transportation solutions. That's why we've renewed our product and digital strategies under 'CASE' (Connected, Autonomous, Shared Services, Electric). Accordingly, using data and making information technology investments are becoming so much more important. Thanks to our Global IT Solutions Centres, our company holds a much more powerful and global IT structure. We believe that we have once again proved our trust in Turkey's high-quality workforce potential by realizing this important investment in İstanbul."

I'm A Celebrity confirms new format for Saturday episodes
I'm A Celeb 2020 will air a weekly round-up special on Saturday nights, ITV has confirmed.
By Lauren Morris
Tuesday, 10th November 2020 at 11:21 am
The 2020 series of I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here begins this weekend, with episodes airing every night of the week until a new King/Queen of the Jungle Castle is crowned.
However, Saturday night's broadcast will be looking slightly different this year, with I'm A Celebrity 2020 airing a weekly round-up in place of a regular episode.
The weekly episode will showcase "the very best of the camp action from that week including unseen footage", ITV has confirmed.
The I'm a Celebrity 2020 lineup was revealed on Sunday during A Jungle Story, a special which looked back on the last 18 years of the reality series.
ITV announced that presenter Vernon Kay, broadcaster Victoria Derbyshire, EastEnders star Shane Ritchie and former Strictly Come Dancing professional AJ Pritchard are among those taking part in this year's shows, which will see the celebrities camping out in a Welsh castle due to the coronavirus pandemic.
They'll be joined by Radio 1 DJ Jordan North, Paralympic Gold Medallist Hollie Arnold MBE, Coronation Street's Beverley Callard, author Giovanna Fletcher, Olympic legend Sir Mo Farah and EastEnders star Jessica Plummer.
Filming for the upcoming series is set to take place at the historic Gwrych Castle in Abergele (North Wales), a grade I listed building with 250 acres of gardens and ground.
Over the weekend, ITV confirmed that a member of the I'm A Celebrity cast had tested positive for COVID-19 and was self-isolating ahead of the live shows.
I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! premieres on ITV on Sunday 15th November. If you're looking for more to watch, check out our TV Guide.

Q: Find a new point on a rectangle given an angle from the center
I am a software engineer and I'm trying to edit some images.  Trying to find a good formula to find a new point on the rectangle, I know the center x and y coordinates, the height and width of the rectangle, and the theta in the direction of the new point.
if I can find the length of the line from the center to the edge I can just take a sin and cos to get my new position.  The issue I'm having is that it seems like there are a lot of special cases given different angles for whether I should be shifting it with regards to width or height etc and I was hoping that someone would have a simpler formula I could use.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to try and help me!

Track Premiere: Bill Filipiak "Fearing The Dawn"
August 4, 2021 Jonathan Aird Tracks 0
'Fearing the Dawn' is a country-blues shuffle of a song on which Bill Filipiak sings of coming to terms with his father's death – not an easy journey as he confesses that "It took five years for me to say goodbye to you" and then, perhaps just as hard to accept "now the world is expecting me to fill your shoes". Speaking of the song Bill Filipiak emphasized these themes "There's something about that moment when you realize, 'I'm the eldest in the family, I'm the patriarch now' and facing that new dawn, that's scary as hell."
As a producer for the Grand Ole Opry, Bill has worked with, befriended and learned from an impressive list of artists including Ray Wylie Hubbard, Keb Mo, George Thorogood, Allison Russell, Lera Lynn and Sarah Jarosz. And for the last five years, taking inspiration from these luminaries, he's embarked on a solo career of his own. 'Fearing the Dawn' is taken from Bill's third solo album 'Medicine I Need', which will be released on the 1st of October. As He says "When you have the opportunity to talk songwriting with these people and watch them perform—I'm talking about folks like Larkin Poe, Sarah Jarosz, Molly Tuttle, Bryan Sutton and Allison Russell; artists like Lera Lynn and Maggie Rose, who insist on finding their own path while staying true to who they are; or maybe you spend a couple days with a legend like Keb Mo, George Thorogood or Ray Wylie Hubbard—after that it's hard not to pick up your instrument, try to emulate what they've done, then come up with your own idea and follow through on it."

Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?

Q: How can I spin up test chef-server to test chef-automate using chef I have a scenario where I want to setup chef-automate using chef. In order to test chef-automate I need chef-server. I was able to do it on local machine, installing chef-server and chef-automate. In order to do that I need automate.license which I can get for local testing from chef website. Though it has one-month validity.
In order to do that using chef, I need to have a license in my test-kitchen so everytime I run test kitchen in can install chef-server and chef-automate server.
I have chef enterprise license. I thought if I can use data bags or chef-vault but nothing seems to work as it will expose enterprise license.
How can I achieve this without having renewing license every month for testing?

A: After talking to slack support team on slack, I was suggested following ideas. I thought it might help someone so posting it here.

*

*Use enterprise key. It is not that special. If someone gets that key they are able to use chef-automate and in that, case key can be regenerated.

*Try to get 1-node key from Account Manager which can be used specifically for testing.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Beata Szydlo | EPA
The coal miner's daughter who could rule Poland
Beata Szydło leads the race to become Poland's next prime minister.
By	Annabelle Chapman
9/1/15, 5:30 AM CET
Updated 2/12/16, 12:35 PM CET
WARSAW — Poland's next prime minister will be a woman. The question is which woman.
Outsiders could be forgiven for mixing up Ewa Kopacz, the current prime minister who heads the centrist Civic Platform party, and her rival Beata Szydło, standard-bearer for the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party.
Both are in their fifties with cropped hair. Both made it to the top thanks to more powerful male leaders. Kopacz became prime minister last autumn when Donald Tusk left for Brussels to become president of the European Council. Szydło was chosen to be PiS's candidate for prime minister by party founder Jarosław Kaczyński after she managed the successful presidential campaign of Andrzej Duda earlier this year.
Opinion polls show PiS in the lead before parliamentary elections set for October 25; the latest has PiS at 37 percent with Civic Platform 10 percentage points behind. Law and Justice last ruled from 2005-2007, when Kaczyński was prime minister.
So far, Szydło, 52, has had little exposure outside Poland. Even in the country she was not a major public figure despite being deputy leader of Law and Justice. Then, in May, Duda was unexpectedly elected president, ousting a much more experienced incumbent.
Szydło became an overnight hero for Polish conservatives. In June, Kaczyński named her as prime-minister-designate in case of a PiS victory.
Why Szydło was chosen
Szydło has a long track record in politics, but her greatest strength may be not who she is, but who she is not.
The world according to Duda
First of all, she is not Kopacz, weighed down by Civic Platform's eight years in government. This freshness strikes a note with disenchanted voters.
Secondly, she is not Kaczyński. His short stint in power was very controversial, with Poland's relations with Germany and other European partners souring and his domestic policies dominated by a hunt for communist-era spies and crooks he felt were running the country from behind the scenes.
Civic Platform had used the prospect of him returning to power to scare voters, a technique that no longer works now that he has stepped aside in favor of Szydło. Almost 60 percent of Poles do not trust him, whereas the figure is only 31 percent for Szydło, according to a recent poll by Millward Brown.
"She's supposed to be a second Angela Merkel, just much more sensitive to social issues," said Norbert Maliszewski, an expert on political marketing at the University of Warsaw.
The daughter of a miner, Szydło started out as an ethnographer. It was one of the few intellectually free subjects in communist Poland, she has said. She first worked at the folklore department of Kraków's history museum. But she ditched the museum for politics, eventually rising in 1998 to become mayor of Brzeszcze, a coal-mining town of some 11,000 in southern Poland.
Local government gave her a taste of the male-dominated macho world of Polish local politics. "I had to demonstrate that a woman is capable of something too," she has said of her time as mayor, which ended in 2005.
Feeling the pulse of the heartland
Szydło's birthplace Oswięcim, a town of 40,000 near Kraków, is better known abroad by its German name, Auschwitz. She and her husband Edward, who works in education, share a house in a nearby village, next door to her parents. Life in the capital has not gone to her head: local townsfolk describe her as humble. She, on the other hand, is not ashamed of her regional roots.
"The word province does not have a negative connotation for me," she has said.
She does not hide that her background in southern Poland, the country's conservative heartland, has shaped her views. "I come from a region where certain permanent values matter," she has said, referring to the central role of the family and the Catholic Church. Her elder son is training to be a priest at a seminary in Kraków.
Although she is on friendly terms with the Church's powerful conservative wing, Szydło has sought to appeal to voters beyond PiS's core electorate. That strategy worked for Duda, who won the presidency by presenting himself as a moderate and not being photographed too often in Kaczyński's company.
PiS presents her as solid, hard-working and competent on socio-economic matters, says Maliszewski. The latest survey research commissioned by him finds that Poles rank Szydło ahead of Kopacz on criteria such as trust, patriotism and closeness to the people.
"We want to hear what you're saying to us in order to work for you well," she says in PiS's first advertising clip featuring her. "Positive change starts with listening."
Since being nominated PiS's candidate for prime minister, she has clocked in long hours in the "Szydłobus", the campaign bus that she took over from Duda. He had used it to tour Poland in the months leading up to the presidential election (in those days it was known as the "Dudabus"). PiS hopes that it will help her repeat his electoral success this fall.
Shattering the glass ceiling
Szydło's appeal may help PiS shatter its glass ceiling. Over the last decade its support has oscillated from a quarter to a third of the electorate, not enough to retake power. With Kaczyński in charge, the ceiling seemed unbreakable. This is where Szydło comes in. Even political rivals see her as part of PiS's less ideological faction.
Although Szydło is less divisive than Kaczyński, she is a shrewd political operator.
"Go kiss your wife," she whispered to Duda when he won the first round of the presidential election. He promptly smooched his wife Agata. Szydło's stage directions were caught on camera.
Like Duda, Szydło knows that Kaczyński values loyalty above all else. When Duda was elected president, she swiftly attributed his victory to Kaczyński's "political genius."
At the same time, Szydło has brushed off fears that she will simply be Kaczyński's puppet if she becomes prime minister — a deft balancing act between the loyalty needed to secure her place in the party and the independence that could help her win in October.
"I know that people will say that I will be steered from the second row," she said, right after he named her PiS's candidate for prime minister. "I have my view and opinions. I can be stubborn. And I won't let myself be steered."
This article was updated to correct that instructions to Duda were given by Szydło and not Kopacz.

Divorced parents reunite every year to take family photo for their son
Posted 6:48 am, April 4, 2017, by Tribune Media
A divorce can be a hard, emotional time for the children involved. However, one couple has gone viral for doing things a bit differently.
Adam Dyson and Victoria Baldwin knew they wanted to make things easier for their son, Bruce, who's now 4 years old. So they decided to keep taking family photos every year.
In a now viral Facebook post on the Love What Matters page, Baldwin included two photos from when they were married and two photos from when they were divorced.
"We are not in love, we don't always agree, we're not best friends, sometimes we don't even like one another," Baldwin wrote. "But you know what we are? We are forever connected because of our beautiful, smart, kind, compassionate, funny son."
"Adam and I are not perfect co-parents, but we made a deal when we got divorced, to put our son first and to value the richness that we each bring to his life, for different reasons," Baldwin added. "So yes, we still have a family portrait taken, and I still pay good money to have the images printed, framed, and placed in our son's bedroom."
Even the photo takes some planning now that Dyson lives in South Carolina while Baldwin lives in Alaska, according to People.
Baldwin told CBS News that they plan to continue the tradition even after they each find new partners.
"We both agree we'll continue it," Baldwin said. "We think a step-parent or longterm partner would be welcomed and would be an addition to Bruce's life. I have ended potential relationships because they questioned intentions or the quality of Adam and my relationship."
"We aren't romantic, but we respect one another. I won't be with someone who wouldn't accept that."

The #1 environmental concern for kids across the country is protecting animals from extinction. At Earth Rangers, we provide children with the ability to do just that.
Earth Rangers programs are designed to be fun, educational, and confidence-building. We not only teach kids about the environmental issues our planet is facing—we empower them to take action. Our programs provide children with an engaging online experience, real-life conservation projects and tangible activities that positively impact the environment. But more than that, it provides a sense of belonging, optimism and proof that when we all work together, we can make a difference.
Earth Rangers reaches children across Canada through in-school presentations and classroom visits, and PSA's on kids' networks like YTV and Teletoon.
Earth Rangers programming is proven to have a positive impact on our members, resulting in more confident and socially responsible children.
We recently collaborated with Ipsos Canada to develop a survey comparing the environmental attitudes, awareness and actions of 600 Earth Rangers Members and 600 non-members across the country, and the results amazed us. Earth Rangers Members are not only more engaged in environmental behaviours, but are more optimistic for the future, more confident in their ability to affect change, and are more altruistic, showing a greater concern not just for the environment but for other social issues.


I was particularly struck at our Wednesday evening homegroup by these words within our study passage, Numbers 14v1-25: "If the Lord is pleased with us, He will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us" (v8). These were the words of Joshua and Caleb to the whole Israelite assembly when they pleaded with them not to rebel and turn back, but instead to trust the Lord and go and enter the Promised Land. Sadly the assembly rejected Joshua and Caleb's words with the result that the people wandered for 40 years in the wilderness and all those who grumbled who were 20 years old or more subsequently died during that 40 year period.
Joshua and Caleb's message, however, was effectively that by pleasing the Lord (and the first commandment is to love God with our all) He would lead the people into a 'pleasurable' future. So often we seek and love first the pleasures of this world, essentially chasing after the created rather than worshipping the Creator (refer also to Romans 1v18-32). Jesus basically repeated Joshua and Caleb's message in Matthew 6v33: "Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well". All the 'pleasures' that we need are graciously given to us by God as a by-product when we seek our first pleasure in Him. And as David testifies in Psalm 16v11: "You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand".

Unite EC Elections in a personal capacity by Laurence Humphries
November 25, 2020 July 7, 2020 by Nicola Redwood
In the recent EC Elections held on the 18th June I wanted to comment on the very low turnout in most of the sectors and analyse briefly why this happened. The URF has always campaigned for a real democratic union but at the moment it still remains in the hands of a bureaucratic elite.
In the regions there were contests in the following regions : Ireland, Scotland, North East Yorkshire and Humberside, South East, Wales and West Midlands. Of course voting in territorial elections is restricted to working members only.
In the regions there was an average of a 6.2% turnout. It was better in the Industrial sectors where there were contests in 9 of the sectors again with an average turnout of 6.2%. At the last Rules Conference it was resolved to have equality representatives elected onto the EC. There were only contests in BAEM and Retired Members. LGBT, Women and Young Members were uncontested as well 10 Industrial sectors and 4 Regions without a contest. Of course if you are a Community Member, Unemployed or a student you do not have a vote in these Elections at all. The Retired Members sector where I stood had the highest poll 19% which shows that Retired Members are very active.
The reason for the low poll in the Industrial sectors is that in a union like Unite which has strong bureaucratic apparatus, members feel that they have no say in most decisions. All Officers, National Officers and assistant General Secretaries are appointed either on the recommendation of the Executive Council or the General Secretary. They are not accountable to the membership because they have not been elected. Members therefore consider these elections an irrelevancy and it has nothing to do with apathy.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected Unite enormously with the threat of layoffs redundancies and sackings. BA Workers are threatened with sackings and or redundancies. In Passenger Transport, 44 Bus drivers have died from coronavirus showing inadequate PPE and protection from the virus.
It is necessary for the URF to campaign for democracy, accountability and a perspective that all members of the union irrespective of whether they work or not to have a proper democratic structure in the union and be able to participate like working members. When the pandemic is over we need to have a perspective to fight redundancies and sackings through strike action if necessary.

In commemoration of African Heritage/Black History Month, Dr. Afua Cooper presents the World Premiere of Portia White: A Vibrant Presence, honouring the life and legacy of Portia White, a trailblazing Black Canadian opera singer.
Cooper is to be congratulated for long, careful and thoroughly engaged research and passionate, engaging writing…
Incantatory, vivid, passionate, sensual, incendiary — Afua Cooper's poetry delivers rich nourishment for the imagination. Copper Woman brings mythic, historical, and present-day voices and characters to provocative, multi-dimensional life, all the way from Africa to the Caribbean to Canada and beyond. Those of us who have been wowed by Cooper's live performances of her work will be equally taken with the ways the poems rise and breathe from the pages of this charged, bristling collection.
—Allan Briesmaster, poet, and author of Weighted Light and Unleaving
The most important piece of Canadian history written in decades, Afua Cooper's The Hanging of Angélique shakes the earth beneath the Canadian nation story. Thorough, original, and masterful, this book is a stunning reclamation of one woman's life, but it is also a reclamation of Africans in early North American history. Trenchant and engagingly written, this book is brilliant."
