Centuries ago, the people of Earth sent Ship into space. Deep within its core, it carried the seed of humankind….
More than twenty years have passed since Ship left its children on an uninhabited, earthlike planet. Zoheret and her companions have started settlements and had children of their own. But soon after their arrival, Zoheret's old nemesis, Ho, struck out on his own.
When Ho's daughter, fifteen-year-old Nuy, spies three strangers headed toward their home, the hostility between the two groups of old shipmates begins anew. Can the divided settlers face the challenges of adapting to their new environment in spite of their conflicts?
Where in Earthseed, the first installment to the Seed series by Pamela Sargent, captured my attention pretty much from the get go, Farseed, book two took a while for me to get into.
Farseed by Pamela Sargent takes place twenty years from where Earthseed had left off. Ship is still out in space trying to locate more habitable planets for humans, and the original characters from book one are and somewhat wiser.
Although characters that we've come to know and love from the first installment are present in Farseed, book two focuses on the next generation. The children of the original survivors. A group of three original members decide to leave their town to seek out the other tribe that has broken off from them when they first arrived. It had been almost a decade ago since they had last traded with them and seen anyone from that tribe.
What they had hoped would be a simple task turns out to be the complete opposite of what they expected and they end up missing. A young group of the next generation decide to bring forward their proposal to venture out and find out what happened to the missing members. With a well thought out plan, not only do these three get the support they are looking for, but there are others who want to volunteer and join them in their quest. Among them are, Zoheret, the unforgettable heroine in book one, Earthseed. Zoheret steps down from her position as leader to join her daughter, Leila, and her friends to search for her fellow tribe mates and friends.
But Zoheret's Northern tribe is not the only one with an agenda. Ho's daughter, Nuy, chances upon the three Northern adults and agrees to take one of them to see her father, Ho. But it seems Ho is still up to his old ways, and his mind is not as stable as it used to be. Violence seems to be Ho's only agenda…and after fearing that his daughter has brought death to their door, he casts her out from her home and tribe, to fend for herself in the wild. It is then thaa Nuy decides to find the other two Northerners and head back home with them to the North.
But when paths cross, and the lives of family and loved ones are on the line, who's side will Nuy be on?
What I really enjoyed when reading Farseed by Pamela Sargent was seeing who ended up mating with who. After finishing Earthseed some time ago, I always thought back and wondered what happened to this band of characters, and if the people I hoped would get together…did. Farseed does answer these questions, and we are even introduced to the offspring of these couplings.
As I said earlier, it took me quite a while to get into this book. There really wasn't much going on in the first bit of the book. I found myself losing interest rather quickly, which was disappointing considering how much I really enjoyed Earthseed! We do get to see Ship in this book, but whether or not Ship decides to make an official appearance is something you'll have to find out for yourself.
Once the book started to pick up though, it was a fantastic and exciting read! There was always the fear that the characters you're rooting for end up being discovered and harmed, or that someone somewhere will come out and say that it was their plan all along to lead them on and take them to their impending doom. It was an exciting guessing game of what would happen next, and because of that, I really enjoyed reading it. I know I personally was curious about what happened to the traitorous Ho. I liked that we were given a background of what happened to both tribes in the twenty years that passed, and it felt as though we never really left the story. Author, Pamela Sargent, does a great job of mixing the past and the present together.
What I'm really intrigued about now is what will happen in book 3? We are introduced to the very significant difference between the offspring in Zoheret's colony and Ho's tribe. How will that play out? What will it all lead to? I'm curious to see if those that are believed to be dead are really dead, or if they will come back in a soap opera type setting and arise from the "dead"? So many questions!
Fans of book one will be excited to delve back into this world created by Pamela Sargent, and be re-introduced to old characters and introduced to the new ones. Although it is a slow and steady ride in the beginning, it is well worth the wait to be able to be immersed into the action and adventure found inside.

Relapsing fever is an umbrella term used to describe characteristic patterns of infection caused by a spiral bacterium called Borrelia. It owes its name to the classical presentation of a fever that spontaneously remits and relapses, helping, historically, to distinguish it from other infectious diseases that caused fever. It can be classified into two broad categories, dependent upon the vector that transmits it and ,thus, the particular species causing the infection.

Assassins's Creed Origins:
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Release Date: October 27, 2017
When you need to see the bigger picture, sometimes it's best to return to your roots. Assassin's Creed Origins takes this thinking to heart and steps into the seamless and dynamic open world of ancient Egypt. Although this move shows glimmers of a brighter future for the series, it also becomes clear that its core gameplay and presentation have some difficulties keeping up with the newfound pace and scale.
Blurring the lines between prequel and sequel, Assassin's Creed Origins takes us back to the beginning of the Assassin Brotherhood, while also laying the groundwork for a new present-day storyline. Set during the time of the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt, you take on the role of Bayek, a Medjay ranger who embarks on a quest for revenge against a mysterious order that pre-dates the Templars. Crossing paths with historical figures such as Cleopatra and Julius Caesar, Bayek travels through the dense and varied lands of Northern Africa. He'll sneak, loot, and stab key figures in the social and political worlds of Egypt, leading to several unforeseen consequences for the future of the Kingdom, right up to present day events.
While references to significant characters and events from other games are present, they take a backseat to the parallel narratives of Origins, particularly to that of Bayek and his companions as they lay the foundations of their creed in Egypt. Bayek himself is a major influence in the world, thoughtful of others and his surroundings. Despite facing tragedy, he isn't shy about breaking the tension with a joke or sharing a tender moment with loved ones. While he's steadfast in his resolve to take revenge against those who wronged him, he's always willing to help those in need.
Origins makes good on the potential of its setting, showing off a clash of ideologies and cultures during Ptolemaic Egypt, and giving it life in a number of surprising ways. In its 30 hour main story, you'll travel across Egypt and meet different allies and enemies with their own agendas. While some locations share a few too many similarities in style and general landscape--and others are frustratingly sparse with content and activity--Egypt overall is vibrant and lush, giving a strong sense of life within it.
From the flocks of birds that rise in unison while running through marshlands, to the crocodiles that pluck sailors off their boats as they float across rivers--Assassin's Creed Origins displays vivid details of a world in action, and houses several unique AI systems that play off each other. In one instance, you could find yourself raiding a camp, and which suddenly come under attack by groups of angry hippos from the nearby lake. Egypt is impressively dense in the more populated cities and towns, convincingly realized through a clear attention to detail, and is one of the series' finest achievements.
Playing through Bayek's journey is surprisingly educational, making each event and landmark--even the gladiator arenas and chariot race tracks--an opportunity to learn more about the setting and period. From general chatter of crowds in Alexandria, to the various notes and logs found from points of interests and bandit camps, you'll come to learn quite a lot about the past ages of Egypt, what led to the "present" state of its Ptolemaic rule, and the cause of the social strife throughout. Showing instances of culture clash between Greco-Roman and Egyptian influences, the core narrative and side-stories are engaging and feel meaningful, tackling issues of racism, colonialism, and the systemic misogyny of the times.
This is especially relevant to Bayek, who is himself an outsider in many of the locations he travels to, and as a result witnesses some of the abuse firsthand. Origins deftly handles its overall tone despite this by balancing moments of heartbreak and earnestness--such as quests dealing with greedy landowners poisoning lower-class citizens--with moments of levity, like when Bayek helps out local children in cities by performing parkour tricks.
Unfortunately, several technical hiccups and bugs crop up--which disrupt the flow of the experience. During our playthrough of the Xbox One X and PS4 versions, instances of texture pop-in, noticeable framerate dips during cutscenes and gameplay, and odd graphical issues while exploring and interacting with other characters detracted from impactful moments and events. These issues unfortunately persist throughout, slightly dragging down the otherwise incredible setting.
Moving steadily away from the somewhat identical formula of past Assassin's Creed games--where you gradually move out to different hub areas and tackle largely isolated missions--Origins gives you a greater level of freedom and agency in a more seamless world, where you can take part in activities at your leisure. With each region possessing several points of interest, veering off the path to find sights unseen can yield valuable loot, history about the world, and other secrets that tie into something greater.
When on his downtime, the Medjay ranger can take part in arena combat and chariot races to win gold and other prizes.
Alongside introducing a new open setting, Origins overhauls one of the series' other major gameplay pillars: combat. Trading steel with enemies now feels more active and involved thanks to its dynamic strikes and real-time blocking and parrying. While certain traces of the series' group-oriented action remain, combat focuses more on smaller skirmishes where you pick your moments and strike at the right time. Moreover, ranged combat has also been improved, adding greater maneuverability and accuracy, including a useful slow-mo aim while leaping through the air. Though this new approach to combat initially feels like an improvement all around--making battles more engaging and involved--some of these changes give rise to problems that can make them a drag.
While combat is solid when fighting a limited number of foes, things quickly turn south when more enemies are added into the mix, as the mechanics are designed for more intimate engagements. This becomes especially problematic with a lock-on camera that follows the action far too closely, turning battles that could be tactical and fierce into disorienting and clumsy encounters. In some cases, it felt better fighting without lock-on enabled to better keep track of what's going on.
This clumsiness is even present in the stealth system, which is more awkward than in past games. Somehow, slower and deliberate movement can feel unreliable due to controls that are less accurate and unresponsive. In some instances while sneaking and climbing, Bayek can hitch onto ledges and other objects when he gets close enough, frequently resulting in accidental exposure to enemies. Sneaking is undermined by these inconsistencies, whether it comes from enemies seeing through objects, or instances where AI partners routinely walk into danger. Stealth is often more of a hassle than it's worth, making it one of Origins' weakest aspects.
Assassin's Creed Origins attempts to blend the established stealth-action elements with the mechanics of an action-RPG, but these two halves don't always coalesce. By including stat-building and a loot grind, it creates needless level-gating for areas of the map. This results in time spent grinding to acquire vital skills and resources--and in the broader sense can feel like artificial padding. This, in turn, conflicts with the fantasy of being a skillful assassin who uses his resources and wits to maneuver through enemy hideouts. It can be quite jarring spending the time sneaking up to elite enemies, and then finding out your hidden blade won't work for an assassination due to it being underpowered.
While Assassin's Creed Origins reaches great heights in this new setting, it routinely runs into issues that bog down the overall experience. Technical issues make for an inconsistent experience and its new gameplay pillars wobble under the weight of its systems. But despite this, the world of Origins remains fresh and exciting to explore, which is a testament to the remarkable setting and compelling story. Assassin's Creed has undergone many changes in its long and storied history, and Origins feels like the first step in the start of a new journey. It has its fair share of problems, but the vision for its future is one worth pursuing.

Nearly half of police officers, firefighters now live outside the city, Milwaukee alderman says
It's been six years since a state law invalidated the city's residency requirement for city employees.
Nearly half of police officers, firefighters now live outside the city, Milwaukee alderman says It's been six years since a state law invalidated the city's residency requirement for city employees.

Six years after a state law invalidated Milwaukee's residency requirement for city employees, nearly half of police officers and firefighters live outside the city, an alderman said Wednesday as a Common Council committee discussed efforts to incentivize living within the city limits.
Ald. Michael Murphy said as he understood the numbers from the Department of Employee Relations, 42% of Milwaukee police officers don't live in the city and the number for firefighters is about the same.
"I mean, you can extrapolate the trend to probably towards 50% by the end of this year in terms of our police force and firefighters," he said.
For other employees, he said, it's about 15%.
Last year, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that 33% of police officers and 37% of firefighters did not live in the city.
This has had negative consequences, Murphy said, adding that residents at public meetings had expressed worries about how this shift affects police-community relations.

Common Council President Ashanti Hamilton said this has been a "major concern" for the council, and residents are seeing impacts on their blocks.
"They are actually watching their neighbors leave and the stability of neighborhoods actually decline because of this," he said.
Hamilton said it is the responsibility of the city to try to do something to curb employees moving elsewhere.
Employee Relations Director Maria Monteagudo told the committee that those who move from the city tend to head south, to Oak Creek and Franklin.
Currently, Monteagudo told the Journal Sentinel afterward, there is a pay incentive for employees living inside the city, but the amount is not uniform.
A resolution passed by the committee Wednesday implements a uniform approach to the wage differential, she said. Monteagudo is expected to recommend to the committee at the end of the month what the differential should be for general city employees, and the city will negotiate with police and firefighters.
The resolution also calls for creating a task force to study other incentives for employees to move to — and stay in — the city.

Very spaciour and pretty venue to organise a wedding. The entire staff and management was good too. The only issue we faced was it is in the outskirts of the city which is too far to come back to get things and therefore have to go preplanned once we leave for the venue. Also, there was little issue with the GPS of the location as the location provided is wrong and we had to call the management there to confirm with the right directions.
Satish ji is a gem of a person. We got married at Green Fields and this was the best decision we made. He helped us with everything and took care of our wedding as if it was his own family wedding which is very rare to find these days. The property is beautiful and Satish ji personally ensures no one ever faces any issues. Thank you so much for making our big day so special. I would highly recommend Greenfield's to everyone be it for a weekend get away or a wedding and event. Also Greenfield's puts in extra efforts in their catering menu and the food will never disappoint you. With each visit the food kept getting better.

Please go and experience the wilderness and the beauty of mother nature at Greenfield's. The venue has such a gorgeous friendship between all of mother nature's children and it's such a peaceful experience to be here. Truly one of the most relaxing and Beautiful places in Jaipur.

In addition to the possibility of being hidden, assets have another inherent problem in the context of the divorce process — valuation. This is so because different standards of value may be applied for different purposes. Below is a summary of the different standards of value that may be applied to a particular asset in a divorce.
The standard of value that is most commonly used in divorce situations is fair market value. "Fair market value" typically is defined as "what a hypothetical willing buyer would pay a hypothetical willing seller." This standard has a long history of interpretation by the IRS, business valuators, and the court system. It has also been abused, misused and misinterpreted by virtually every entity that has had occasion to use it.
For purposes of discussion in this article, assume that the item in question is a six-year old dining room table. Under the fair market value standard, the value of the table would be the sales price of the table on the open market. In other words, what sales price could be expected if the table was advertised in the local paper for a couple of months? Used furniture usually is not very valuable; if the owner has pets, the furniture may have no value. Therefore, a six-year-old table with an original purchase price of $8,000 may sell for $1,000 or less. Consequently, the fair market value of the table that should be included in the marital estate is $1,000.
The term "purchase price" refers to the historical cost of an item. In our example, the table was purchased for $8,000. Therefore, under the purchase price standard of value, the declared value of the table would be $8,000.
It would not be unusual for one party to a divorce to rely on the purchase price value of the table ($8,000) and the other party to rely on the fair market value ($1,000). In fact, this is a typical example of how the application of different standards of value can be a problem in marital estate valuation.
If our table was owned by a business, its "book value" would be the purchase price less depreciation. Assume that the business was writing off (expensing) the table over an eight-year period, and the depreciation per year was $1,000 (8,000 ÷ 8). Total depreciation on the six-year old table would be $6,000 (6 x 1,000). Thus, the "book value" of the table would be $2,000 (8,000 – 6,000).
"Replacement price" refers to the cost of replacing an asset. In our example, assume that the wife claims she will have to spend $10,000 to replace the table after the divorce is final. Consequently, she values the table at $10,000. A party's motivation is something to consider when evaluating replacement price value. If, for example, the wife assumes the husband will get the table, she may be motivated to have it assigned a high value. If, however, the wife assumes she would end up with the piece, it is highly possible she would select some other standard of value.
People develop emotional attachments to property. This may be because of the association of the property to a beloved individual, or because it represents evidence of achievement, or simply because some individuals define themselves by their possessions. This value may defy comparison to any logical valuation standard, and may be a significant complicating factor in the valuation and division of a marital estate. In our example, if we assume the table was a gift from the wife's mother and that it has very special meaning to the wife, it might be that the wife places a very high value on the piece which bears no relation to its actual worth. She might not be willing to declare the value as being high, but in fact would be willing to trade assets worth $12,000 to make sure she received it.
In order to expedite the divorce proceedings or simply because of missing information, one or both parties may guess at the value of an asset. These guesses may be informed or not. Assume, for example, that the husband has no idea what the table is worth; thinks arguing about it is ridiculous; and estimates its value at 50% of the purchase price, or $4,000. Caution: an "estimate" by an uninformed or adversely motivated party may be, at best, a fiction or, at worst, a tool of vengeance.
"Synergistic value" refers to the fact that an asset may have value to a particular buyer. This means that one buyer is willing to pay more for something than anyone else because it provides him or her with an economic advantage. (Compare this with "fair market value," which considers the value of an item to a hypothetical buyer.) For example, assume that there are two competing companies in the same town. Company Alpha is willing to pay more for Company Beta than anybody else because owning both companies will eliminate all competition, giving Company Alpha a monopoly. In our divorce example, assume that the table was part of the dining room set of a famous movie star who died under mysterious circumstances at the table. Assume also that a collector has all of the chairs and other pieces of the dining room set, but not the table. The collector knows that if he can complete the set, his collection will skyrocket in value. Therefore, he is willing to pay more for the table than anybody else, say $25,000.
The term "fair value" is normally dependent upon context. It can be used in court and can be a point of law. That is, it is the court's responsibility to determine what would be a fair value under the circumstances presented. For example, the court might decide that a fair value for the table in our example would be $25,000. That is, in the circumstances of the case, the table should be valued at the price that could be obtained from the collector. Unfortunately, the court may refer to this value as "fair market value" when, in fact, it is a "fair value" or value to the collector or value in the circumstances. It is not fair market value.
Fair value might also refer to a statutorily-defined value. For example, a statute (a law on the books) might indicate that a fair value for a partnership must be determined before a partnership can be dissolved. That fair value may be the fair market value, or whatever the partners feel is fair in the circumstances, or what a judge may believe is fair.
What is the effect of the different valuation standards on a divorce?
Understanding the differences between the standards of value and the circumstances under which each standard may be present will allow your divorce lawyer and/or investigator to use balance sheets for analytical purposes, including the summary and division of the marital estate.


H.B. Fuller announces two advances for the Liquamelt adhesive system–a bulk feed option that eliminates the need for on-floor staff to refill the adhesive reservoir and a gateway I/O option that will allow the system's operation to be monitored by the packaging machine control system.
The bulk feed capability is accomplished by the delivery of Liquamelt adhesive in a large container that is replaced when emptied. The bulk delivery option allows containers to be located remotely and the Liquamelt adhesive to be safely transferred from the sealed containers to the packaging machines through common non-heated fluid hoses. Three bulk container sizes are offered: 30 liter drum, 50 gallon drum, and 2,500 pound tote.
The gateway I/O option enables external communication and provides machine health status. It will allow monitoring of the Liquamelt adhesive system by the OEM equipment and ensure efficient and reliable line operation.


Thanks for all your comments about titles guys, it was interesting to see how everyone approaches them, from a writer's and a reader's perspective. I ended up calling the story "Equilibrium", for reasons that will hopefully become obvious once I've got an official blurb to share with you. It definitely satisfies my need for the short and the snappy, and like I said, it even has something to do with the story, so it ticks the boxes on all counts, yay.
Happily I will have an official blurb to share with you eventually, because Dreamspinner have accepted it, with publication slated for June. I am very, very happy about this, since it will be my first novel-length publication, and it'll be available in paperback as well as ebook. Very exciting!
How wonderful! Congratulations! I'm very happy for you.
Congrats (again)! I didn't realise June was your release date, that's excellent. Not too far away.

On the way out to meet friends for dinner last night, Dan and I were listening to NPR on the radio. There was a story on about a kids musical group and how they also appealed to adults. We listened to the story for a few minutes before I had to switch the station. I was starting to cry because I was missing Alexander so much.
We had a good time at dinner. In addition to the friends we were meeting, we also ran into a few other friends. Everything was fine for me until we headed home because I knew I was going home to an empty house without Alexander.
I woke around 8am this morning but I stayed in bed. I was hoping that sleep would overtake me so I didn't have to think about how much I was missing Alexander. The house is just so quiet without him.
We had no plans today so I thought I would use the day to catch up on some things. I've been so sad all day and haven't managed to do much. I did make yet another journey to Target to get some photos printed. After that, I went to visit Alexander. It was such a warm day that I decided to take myself lunch to eat while I sat quietly thinking of Alexander. It was a tough visit today and I spent most of the time crying.
just wanted to let you know that Anabela and I are always think about you, Dan and Alexander.

Inventories held by wholesalers posted an unexpectedly strong gain in November while sales shot up by the largest amount in 10 months.
While these gains gave the economy a strong boost as 2009 was ending, economists expressed concerns over the durability of the rebound given that unemployment remains stubbornly high.
The contrast between better-than- expected growth in inventories and the disappointing jobless figures, released Friday by the Labor Department, reflects the typical pattern when an economy is at a turning point from recession to growth with the data flashing mixed signals. While the employment report for December showed a disappointing loss of 85,000 jobs in December, a closely watched gauge of manufacturing activity showed that factory performance jumped last month to the highest level in five years.
Sung Won Sohn, an economist at the Martin Smith School of Business at California State University, Channel Islands said Friday that he was looking for GDP to grow at an annual rate of 3.7 percent in the fourth quarter, with about half of that strength reflecting the gains in inventories seen in Friday's inventory report. But he said that GDP would slow in the first quarter to an annual rate of around 2.5percent, reflecting all the headwinds facing consumers who are still struggling with high unemployment and tight credit conditions.
"I believe the economy did hit bottom in either June or July, but the growth we will see in the fourth quarter will slow in the coming year because of various problems still facing the economy," he said.

Andrei Yurov, Head of the International Observation Mission of the Committee on International Control over the Situation with Human Rights in Belarus, is going to appeal his persona non grata status in Belarus.
The human rights defenders was detained on 16 March and accused of committing a crime, i.e. entering Belarus, despite his persona non grata status.
During a press-conference on 17 March in Minsk, Andrei Yurov said he tried to explain that he could not know about that, since there is no "border between Belarus and Russia."
Mr. Yurov says his case is a dangerous precedent, as any Russian national may be prosecuted while entering Belarus.

Still Swimming With The Sharks
So, tired of all the congestion and gridlock in the city? Working hard, trying to figure out how to get more cars off our roads? I've got a simple but obviously overlooked solution.
Strip irresponsible, reckless and dangerous drivers of their right to drive. Stop our collective shrug when the misuse of a motorized vehicle leads to death and bodily harm. Accidents will happen. For sure. But less so if we cull from the driving ranks not only repeat offenders but anyone who uses a car or truck as a weapon of intimidation and confrontation.
Two articles in the Toronto Star today highlight a certain War With Cars rather than a War on Cars.
On Thursday night, the police allege that a driver ran down and killed a pedestrian he'd got into some sort of set-to with. For me, if found guilty of the array of bodily harm charges he faces, this driver would never be allowed to legally drive again. Zero tolerance. One strike and you're out. Privilege revoked irrevocably.
The exact opposite of what appears to happen, even for multiple offenders.
Like the driver involved in a cyclist's death last November. With 8 driving infractions in just over 2 and a half years, including speeding, disobeying a police signal and violating novice driving conditions, the driver added to that tally with a failing to remain at the scene of an accident that caused death charge. Is it unreasonable to expect at least some sort of time out in the form of a suspension of his license?
Especially since it seems everything was not as it first appeared when news of the accident broke.
Police said that the cyclist was struck when he rode through a red light. Unfortunate but hardly the fault of the motorist who struck him. Even fleeing the scene could be viewed sympathetically for the driver, just driving along, minding his own business, obeying the rules of the road. Out of nowhere, bike rides right in front of him, bang. Driver panics, takes off. Shock gets the better of good judgement and any sort of concern for a fellow human being.
Turns out that might not be exactly how things transpired.
In a letter responding to inquiries from the dead man's family's lawyer, the Crown now says that it is "not taking the position that [the cyclist] was travelling north or that he ran a red light." In fact, "…they're acknowledging [the cyclist] was stationary or near-stationary, waiting to turn left, as he was lawfully obliged to be, when he was rammed from behind." Turns out that it was the cyclist who was minding his own business, obeying the rules of the road when, out of nowhere car slams right into him from behind, bang. Driver panics etc., etc.
It's enough to make you think there's an inherent bias when it comes to dealing with accidents on our roads. That our mayor is not alone when he suggested back in his councillor days that, "… it's their own fault at the end of day" when a cyclist is struck by a bus, car or truck. Responsibility for road safety lies squarely on the shoulders of pedestrians and cyclists and not those with the greatest capability of inflicting damage upon those they so reluctantly share space with.
We can talk all we want about building biking infrastructure to encourage more people to see cycling as a viable means of transport around the city, there's undeniable merit to that discussion. Ditto mandatory helmet laws and bike sharing programs. But until we treat everybody equally when it comes to using the roads, when there are actual consequences to bad behaviour and lack of diligence, when driving stops being regarded as an inalienable right rather than a privilege, bike culture will remain on the fringe, a hobby for only the foolhardy and pinkos.
Unfortunately, it's a status quo too many people and institutions would be only too happy maintaining.

This revised edition of the module intended for younger audiences clocks in at 9 pages, 1 page front cover, leaving us with 8 pages of content, so let's take a look!
In case you're new to the product line – this module is intended for play with kids, to be completed in one session after school…and impart some knowledge unobtrusively while playing. All right, got that? Great!
On the way to the picnic location, more unpleasant things are afoot – a rather emancicated wolverine is fighting for his life against disgusting giant ticks! The PCs can help the hungry, poor critter and help it – though it'll take some delicate care to make the weary and wounded animal trust the PCs, though healing and aid against the ticks does help significantly.
The half-starved critter also tells of blackened water and indeed, at the wonderful, once untouched beach, one can now see a log fort and black waters – and indeed, passing a relatively harmless "trap", the PCs encounter two appropriately goofy azer brothers, who are very proud of their Rock-B-Coal device and the quick processing of coal! It is said device and particularly the swift syrup that hastens the process that is responsible for the pollution and while combat is a way to drive them off, Diplomacy and, more importantly, science, can really help here, making the process less strenuous on the environment. This would also be a great time, just fyi, to explain the coalification process, with notes provided and a handy link for further information available.
This is not how the pdf stops, though: We also receive a recipe for "coal lumps" based on chocolate sandwich cookies and mini marshmallows…and there also is the coal cookie mining activity that teaches the cost and process of mining! The activity takes 1 – 2 hours and requires play money, 3 different types of packaged chocolate chips, grid paper, pencils, flat toothpicks, round toothpicks, paper clips and that's it!
The pdf begins with the procedure explained: Coal mining companies need to revert the land to the status before mining, which is a significant cost. The mining should be profitable even with these costs. Each participant gets $19 play money, a sheet of grid paper and the handy cookie mining worksheet included. Each player may purchase mining property (a cookie) with different prices, depending on type. The cookie is placed on the grid and traced – the number of squares that are included in the outline (including partial square) are noted down. Next, you purchase mining equipment: Flat toothpicks cost $2, round ones $4 and a paper clip is 6$. Each minute of labor (mining) costs $1 and each chocolate chip mined from the cookies nets a $2 profit. Broken chips can be combined into whole chips, but consumed chips will eat into profit! The participants may mine for a maximum of 5 minutes. In the end, the participants must do "reclamation"- I.e. return the cookie to its former state – with only the tools they have! Each square outside the original outline costs $1.
This whole experience is discussed, with questions, potential for extensions and the like – and I really love this game. It's easy to grasp, somewhat difficult and yet not too hard and incredibly fun. It also helps getting a more differentiated picture of the challenges of mining as opposed to the glorification/demonization we can often find in various media. Oh, and the activity would make for a great drunk party game for adults!
Editing and formatting are very good, I noticed no significant glitches. Layout adheres to a colorful 2-column full-color standard with nice color artworks. The pdf is bookmarked, in spite of its brevity, which is nice.
The revised version of Kelly Pawlik's module is vastly superior to the original iteration and manages to provide an educational and rewarding experience, best suited for kids ages 4 – 10.
My one, minor gripe here is that the activity, flexible as it is, is basically separate from the module. The plus side is that it can easily be run before or after the module and that it works perfectly as a stand-alone sans the module part.
But still, in my mind, helping the azer brothers mine in game would have probably made for a cool synergy and provided a second side to the whole experience: The pollutant syrup could have made some operations cheaper, for example, tying both environmental concern and the need to make profit, together and illustrate via one experience both sides and the difficulties faced. Anyways, a capable GM can easily do this and this is an inexpensive, fun and educational module. My final verdict will clock in at 5 stars.
You can get this inexpensive little pdf here on OBS!

The British Broadcasting Company Ltd was a British commercial company formed on 18 October 1922 by British and American electrical companies doing business in the United Kingdom (and anxious to build sales of their products by ensuring that there were radio broadcasts to which their radio-buying customers could listen) and licensed by the British General Post Office. Its original office was located on the second floor of Magnet House, the GEC buildings in London and consisted of a room and a small antechamber. On 14 December 1922, John Reith was hired to become the Managing Director of the company at that address. The company later moved its offices to the premises of the Marconi Company. The BBC as a commercial broadcasting company did not sell air time but it did carry a number of sponsored programmes paid for by British newspapers. On 31 December 1926, the company was dissolved and its assets were transferred to the non-commercial and Crown Chartered British Broadcasting Corporation.

Post Office stations
In Britain prior to 1922, the General Post Office (GPO) retained exclusive rights given to it by government, to manage and control all means of mass communication with the exception of the printed word for which authority had devolved to another governmental entity. The laws which evolved into the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1947, upon which all modern British communication laws are built in one way or another, concern four essential activities: the establishment of a station for purposes of broadcasting; the use of a station for purposes of broadcasting; the installing of a transmitter or receiver, and the use of a transmitter or receiver. All four of these activities require a government licence which was originally granted by the General Post Office.
"Electrical" post offices
The invention of the electrical telegraph came under the control of the Telegraph Act 1869 which was based upon a law that forbade the encoding of electrical cables with messages without a licence. The messages were viewed as electrical forms of a letter. This invention was followed by the wireless telegraph which was then placed under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1904.
Advent of wireless broadcasting
In the USA, the development of the telegraph, wireless telegraph, telephone and wireless telephony proceeded according to the dictates of entrepreneurial commercial interests concerned only with supply and demand for profit. Beginning in August 1920, commercial broadcasting stations programming to the general public had begun broadcasting in the United States, licensed by the Department of Commerce and offering several hours of programming, usually at night. Two of the first stations were WWJ in Detroit (then known as 8MK) [1] and KDKA in Pittsburgh (which has claimed to be the first station specifically licensed for commercial broadcasting; however commercial licences were actually not awarded until September 1921).[2] These pioneering stations continue in daily 24-hour operation today under the ownership and management of CBS.
In the United Kingdom, all broadcasts were licensed by the GPO, who were reluctant to license any fully commercial stations and only 'experimental' stations were allowed on air.
First test broadcasts
Beginning in 1920, a number of licences were issued to British and American subsidiary companies in Britain for the purpose of conducting experimental transmissions under terms of a licence issued by the General Post Office in accordance with the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1904. On 15 June 1920, Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company, Limited, in Chelmsford, Essex, was licensed to conduct an experimental broadcast from the New Street Works factory, featuring Dame Nellie Melba. The signal was received throughout Europe and as far as Newfoundland, Canada. Further transmissions were also made.
Military intervention
On 23 November 1920, the General Post Office halted all further transmissions due to complaints of alleged interference with military communications. As the number of wireless receiving sets increased during the early 1920s, the General Post Office came under extreme pressure from hobby listeners to allow the experimental wireless broadcasts to resume.
Test transmissions resume
On 14 February 1922, which was two years after ceasing their original transmissions, the Marconi Company was issued a licence for experimental transmissions under the call sign 2MT. Peter Eckersley was given charge of providing both the broadcast entertainment and the engineering. The station operated out of a hut in a field at Writtle near Chelmsford.
On 11 May 1922, the Marconi Company was issued another licence for experimental broadcasts from a station identified as Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony" which were "subject to permission from the Postmaster General". These demonstrations were performed by the "Demonstration Department (of) Marconi's London Wireless Station 2LO".
On 16 May 1922, Metropolitan Vickers Company, Ltd. ("Metrovick"), in Manchester commenced test broadcasting from its own station identified as 2ZY.
A committee is appointed
On 23 May a committee of representatives was appointed from the "Big Six" companies – Marconi, Metropolitan-Vickers, Radio Communication Company, British Thomson-Houston, General Electric and Western Electric. The Post Office also pressed for the inclusion of a representative from the smaller firms manufacturing radio equipment in the UK – Frank Phillips of Burndept.
Incorporation and shares
On 18 October 1922, the British Broadcasting Company Ltd. was incorporated under the Companies Acts 1908 to 1917 with a share capital of £60,006, with cumulative ordinary shares valued at £1 each.[3] No further capital could be issued without the Postmaster-General's consent:
The shares were equally held by six companies:
Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company
Metropolitan Vickers Electrical Company
Radio Communication Company
The British Thomson-Houston Company
The General Electric Company
Western Electric Company
The shareholders gave the BBC the benefit of their respective patents, and only radio sets supplied by BBC companies were permitted to be licensed to receive programmes. The ability of the shareholders to profit from the BBC was limited as part of the agreement with the Postmaster General:
The holders of the Cumulative Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive out of the profits of the Company a fixed Cumulative Dividend at the rate of 7½% per annum on the capital for the time being paid up thereon but are not entitled to any further or other participation in profits.
The Rt. Hon. Lord Gainford, Headlam Hall, Gainford, Durham. (Chairman);
Geoffrey C. Isaacs, Marconi House, Strand, WC2. (Managing Director, Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Co.);
Archibald McKinstry, The Red Lodge, Southill Avenue, Harrow on the Hill. (Joint Managing Director of Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Export Company);
Major Basil Binyon, "Hawtthorndene", Hayes, Kent. (Managing Director of Radio Communication Company);
John Gray, "Beaulieu", Park Farm Road, Bromley, Kent. (Chairman of the Hotpoint Electric Appliance Company) (BTH);
Sir William Noble, Magnet House, Kingsway, London WC2. (Director of The General Electric Company);
Henry Mark Pease, 18 Kensington Court Mansions, London W8. (Managing Director of Western Electric Company)
The initial remit of the British Broadcasting Company was to establish a nationwide network of radio transmitters many of which had originally been owned by member companies, from which the BBC was to provide a national broadcasting service.
International influences
The British Broadcasting Company was formed using a blueprint that the US Navy and the General Electric Company had attempted to institute in the USA. Early in World War I, all of the ship-to-shore and transatlantic radio stations controlled by a US subsidiary company of Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company, Limited in Chelmsford, England, were seized and handed to the US Navy for the duration of the War. After the War, the US Congress forced the US Navy to divest itself of the stations and they turned to the General Electric Company which in 1919 formed a subsidiary called the Radio Corporation of America. With the US Navy on its board, RCA then absorbed the former Marconi stations. In 1926 RCA created the National Broadcasting Company, the first network in the United States. Peaking in the 1930s, there were attempts to bring all radio communications in America back under single monopoly control by using the patent laws. This move failed.
The Western Electric Company Ltd. in the UK was originally formed as a subsidiary of American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in the USA where it served as its manufacturing subsidiary to equip the AT&T Bell Telephone system.
British Thomson-Houston Company Ltd. was a controlled UK subsidiary of the General Electric Company in the USA. The Hotpoint Electric Appliance Company Ltd. was formed by British Thomson-Houston (BTH) in 1921.
The only other company later added to the original shareholders of the British Broadcasting Company Ltd. was Burndept Limited. It represented the interests of over twenty small electrical manufacturers in the UK.
The British Broadcasting Company did not sell air time for commercials but its licence did allow for it to carry sponsored programming, and eight such sponsored broadcasts were aired in 1925. However, the main source of its income was from the sale of radio receiving sets and transmitters manufactured by its shareholding member companies as well as from a portion of the government (GPO) licence fee that had to be purchased by BBC listeners.

Leben und Wirken
Rostásy legte 1950 sein Abitur in Judenburg ab und studierte anschließend bis 1954 an der Technischen Hochschule Stuttgart Bauingenieurwesen. 1958 wurde er dort am Institut für Baustoffkunde und Materialprüfung (Otto-Graf-Institut) mit einer Arbeit über theoretische und experimentelle Beiträge zur Erforschung des Schwindens und der Schwindspannungen des Betons promoviert.

Anschließend ging er zwei Jahre an das Structural Laboratory der Portland Cement Association in Chicago wo er über Spannbeton forschte. 1961 bis 1963 leitete er eine Entwurfsgruppe Fertigteilbau im Haupt-Konstruktionsbüro der Strabag in Köln. Bis 1968 war er technischer Leiter der Fertigteilwerke Köln und Salzgitter der Fa. Munte in Braunschweig. Anschließend ging er zurück an die Universität Stuttgart und übernahm die Leitung der Abteilung Stahl und Stahlbeton im Otto-Graf-Institut. 1975 habilitierte er sich mit einer Arbeit über Zwang und Rissebeschränkung bei Außenwänden aus Stahlleichtbeton. 1976 wurde er auf den Lehrstuhl für Baustoffkunde und Stahlbetonbau der Technischen Universität Braunschweig berufen und war auch Direktor der Materialprüfanstalt für das Bauwesen in Braunschweig. Dort arbeitete er bis zu seinem Ausscheiden aus dem aktiven Dienst im Jahr 1997. Rostásy war Mitglied in zahlreichen nationalen und internationalen wissenschaftlichen Vereinigungen und Gremien.

Rostásy beschäftigte sich mit dem Schwinden und der Wärmeentwicklung von Beton und den damit in Verbindung stehenden Zwangbeanspruchungen, dem Kriechen von Beton, dem Tieftemperaturverhalten von Beton und Stahl insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit Flüssiggastanks, dem Verhalten von Beton und dem Verbundverhalten von Beton und Stahl bei hohen Temperaturen, mit Spannbetonfertigteilen, mit der Bruchmechanik von Beton, mit der Korrosion von Spannstahl, mit der Rissbildung und Rissbreitenbeschränkung bei Stahlbetonbauteilen, mit Stahlfaserbeton, mit der nachträglichen Verstärkung von Bauteilen mittels geklebter Bewehrung, mit Faserverbundwerkstoffen als Bewehrung, mit Wärmedämmverbundsystemen, mit Dauerhaftigkeitsfragen, mit historischem Mauerwerk und Fragen der Baudenkmalpflege sowie Messverfahren zur Bauwerksüberwachung.

Canadian singer Kiesza dominates the UK charts with debut single 'Hideaway'
Who is Kiesza?
You may not have heard of the Canadian singer-songwriter (yet), but the 25-year-old is blowing up the charts in Britain and may soon be catapulted to international fame.
The Calgary-born songstress has enjoyed unprecedented success overseas with her infectious electro-pop single, "Hideaway," which has nabbed the top spot on UK iTunes and the number one spot on Shazam for the past six weeks.
"Being number one is the most amazing feeling ever," Kiesza (pronounced "Kaisaa") told OfficialCharts.com. "I just want to say thank you to everybody who's supported it. I never expected this at all when I created 'Hideaway'; it's amazing to see people come out of the woodwork and fall in love with it, so thank you!"
Dubbed as "one of the great new pop discoveries of 2014" by music site Idolator, the singer was previously a member of the Royal Canadian Navy and a trained ballerina before she decided to dedicate herself to music.

Her debut album is slated for release this fall and pays tribute to deep house while exploring "the whole '90s era," which is clearly referenced in the music video for "Hideaway."
Directed by her brother, who was also in the Navy, the video was shot in Brooklyn in a single, amazing take that showcases Kiesza's dance background.
Most impressive of all, the up-and-comer told Rolling Stone that she struggled to shoot the video because she broke a rib right before filming and "couldn't move for an entire month afterward."
Check out the video for "Hideaway" below.

The debate in commercial fishery management has evolved from whether well-defined rights are necessary for sustainability to measuring the impacts of different rights-based system designs. Most assessments are on developed world fisheries. Using a unique collection of datasets, we develop counterfactuals to evaluate the economic impacts of the Chilean jack mackerel catch share program. We investigate vessel and trip characteristics, as well as trip costs and revenues, before and after the implementation of the program. We find an increase in higher value products and associated revenue, as well as consolidation of catch on larger vessels, vessels taking longer trips, and those catching more per trip. Overall, we estimate that the program led to a measureable increase in fishing profits, mainly due to movement toward higher-value products. A back-of-the-envelope calculation results in an implied annual quota rental rate on the order of approximately 15–19% of ex-vessel prices.


"in 1974 I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane."
At least the bee zapper was working. For years their hives had been under siege by Africanized swarms, seeking to take over as they had everywhere else in the area... But a few weeks ago Claire had found a net reference by a fellow in Egypt, who'd discovered that the African strain beat their wings faster than the tame European variety. Burrowing into archaic TwenCen military technology, he had adapted sensor-scanning designs from an old defunct project called "Star Wars..."

HOPKINSVILLE (AFP) - Polls opened on Tuesday (May 17) in a Kentucky primary that could give Mrs Hillary Clinton a chance to bolster her almost insurmountable delegate lead over Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, who has vowed to slog on despite long odds.
Though Mrs Clinton holds a slim poll lead, Senator Sanders was gunning for victory in the Bluegrass State, building on his win last week in neighboring West Virginia as he battles to keep his long-shot nomination bid alive.
West Virginia and Kentucky are linked to coal, as is much of Appalachia - the largely white, long-struggling eastern United States region where many feel they have been given the cold shoulder in the lukewarm recovery from the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
The north-west state of Oregon on Tuesday was also holding its Democratic and Republican primaries, where limited polling has indicated Mrs Clinton is ahead.
Mrs Clinton sees Kentucky as an opportunity to appeal to working-class white men - a demographic where she has lagged both the presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and her Democratic rival Sanders.
Mr John Spenlau, 28, speaking to AFP on Tuesday outside a voting station in suburban Louisville, said he had voted for Sen Sanders.
"To be honest I don't think he's going to win the nomination but I prefer the idea of continued change," he said referring to Sen Sanders proposals to upend what he calls an unfair political and economic system in the US and fight income inequality, among other problems.
"Hillary would be a more stable candidate but I think that Bernie continues to push the envelope, towards a few more of the social programs that I believe in," Mr Spenlau said.
No Democratic presidential candidate has won in Kentucky state since 1980 except for her husband Bill Clinton.
On Sunday, the former first lady appeared to indicate Mr Clinton would play a role in her administration if she were elected, promising to put him "in charge of revitalising the economy".
And during a stop on Monday at a diner in Paducah, a city in the state's south-west, she reasserted that he would be her ally in office.
"I've already told my husband that if I'm so fortunate enough to be president and he will be the first gentleman, I'll expect him to go to work... to get incomes rising."
Sen Sanders has also been investing time in Kentucky.
He was in Paducah on Sunday and Bowling Green Monday, holding much bigger rallies - each more than 2,000 people.
The Clintons have struggled to contain the damage from comments Hillary made in March, when she said she expected to "put a lot of coal companies and coal miners out of business".
She made the remark during a speech on renewable energy but the soundbite stung many in Appalachia.
In Fort Mitchell at the weekend she emphasized her determination to help coal country, saying: "We can't and we must not walk away from them."
Mrs Clinton made three stops in Kentucky on Sunday and another four Monday, shaking hands, taking selfies, offering hugs - and even chatting with Trump supporters who vowed never to vote for her.
With the Democratic nomination in sight, Mrs Clinton is repositioning herself for a bruising general election campaign battle against Mr Trump.
In a November face-off the billionaire appears destined to hold an advantage over Mrs Clinton, at least initially, with working-class whites.
At a rally in Hopkinsville, Kentucky's secretary of state and close Clinton friend Alison Lundergan Grimes made the case for a steady hand over Mr Trump's unpredictability and the Republican Party's reluctance to unite around their presumptive nominee.
"They have dysfunction. We have a candidate with a plan," Ms Grimes said.
Mrs Clinton used the rally to pummel the "risky and dangerous" Mr Trump, suggesting he is unqualified to handle tough foreign policy decisions.
She pointed to her work in late 2012 in helping to defuse sky-high tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, in part by negotiating at length with Egypt's then-president Mohamed Mursi.
"Now ask yourself: how hard would it be for America's secretary of state to negotiate with a Muslim leader if someone running for president - or heaven forbid were president - was spending a lot of his time denigrating the religion of the people we had to deal with in a flashpoint region?"


Off-season practice can be a valuable opportunity to get an early advantage heading into the next season. Here are a few tips to help you make the most out of your off-season training.
