How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Your Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are among the most stunning flowers in the garden, a gorgeous welcome to summer, and, with the right varieties and care, a party that lasts all season long. Planting may seem like the easy part of caring for your hydrangeas, but giving your plants the best start is of utmost importance. Let's talk about planting hydrangeas.
What are Hydrangeas?
Hydrangeas are a genus of beautiful ornamentals bred for color and form around the globe. Hydrangeas are beloved accent plants and excellent hedges. Aside from their pleasant, well-rounded shape and elegant foliage, hydrangeas have bold, clustered flowers, usually formed into balls or cones. Many hydrangeas bud in early summer, and can bloom all the way to fall.
Types of Hydrangeas
Every gardener seems to have their own vision for what constitutes a perfect hydrangea garden. Luckily, this varied group of plants offers something for everyone. Let's look at a few of the common types of hydrangeas you'll see in North American gardens.
Annabelle or Arborescens Hydrangeas
Arborescens, also known as Annabelle hydrangeas, are among America's most beloved landscape plants. These hydrangeas tend to bloom in white to green tones, but some arborescens bloom in both light and dark pink, or even mauve. Annabelle hydrangeas have attractive foliage and showy displays of pristine mophead flowers. As North American natives, Arborescens hydrangeas are among the easiest to care for, with simple pruning needs and excellent hardiness. They bloom on old and new wood, and are reliably bud hardy, even in cold zones. Annabelles are excellent for adding structure to the landscape.
Paniculata Hydrangeas
Paniculata hydrangeas feature elongated panicle flowers, and are incredibly easy to care for. Paniculatas like Skyfall, Little Spooky, and Confetti offer smaller silhouettes than the well-known classic Limelight Hydrangea. All paniculata hydrangeas start out in tones of green or white. Most transition to a secondary color phase of reds and or pinks after the bloom matures. Berry White and Strawberry Sundae are among our favorite boldly-colored paniculatas.. With great adaptability and a huge selection, this is the perfect group of hydrangeas for beginners and collectors alike. Paniculatas bloom on old and new wood while reliably flowering in colder climates.
Macrophylla Hydrangeas
Macrophylla can also be known as big leaf hydrangea, like the L.A. Dreamin'® Hydrangea. The terms mophead and lacecap refer to the form of the bloom. In some varieties of these pink-to-blue hydrangeas, like Tellers Blue or Elizabeth Ashley hydrangeas, the color of the flowers is influenced by soil pH and the availability of aluminum in the soil. Just as the name suggests, bigleaf hydrangeas are known for their large, lush foliage. Many of these varieties hold leaf color into the late summer, and a few even offer beautiful fall color in the leaves.
Serrata Hydrangeas
Serrata hydrangeas are also called Mountain Hydrangeas. Most serratas have pleasing lacecap forms. Most bloom on old wood, but some newer varieties bloom on both old and new wood. Serrattas can look like a compact version of lacecap macrophyllas, and tend to have delicate flowers.
Oakleaf Hydrangeas
Just as the name suggests, these hydrangeas are named for the shape of their foliage.Oakleaf hydrangea flowers appear in elongated, cone-shaped clusters, distinguishable from the ovate or heart-shaped leaves of Macrophylla species. Many of these varieties offer beautiful fall color in the leaves-check out Little Honey if you want to see an amazing hydrangea with golden chartreuse foliage color. Oakleaf hydrangea are also a North American species, so they really thrive in American gardens.
How Do You Plant Hydrangeas?
Hydrangeas are a varied genus, so check the recommendations on your specific plants. With the right planning and a good location, these will come back year after year.
When Do You Plant Hydrangeas?
Hydrangeas are best planted in late spring or early fall, while temperatures are generally moderate to cool. Make sure to plant after the final frost of the year, but before summer reaches its hottest temperatures.
Where Do You Plant Hydrangeas?
As with any other plant, picking a location to plant your hydrangea is the first step. Consider sun needs, soil requirements, and the mature size of your hydrangea.
Hydrangeas are relatively easy to site, as long as you have a space that meets their sun requirements. An area that has a combination of morning sunlight and afternoon shade works well for most hydrangea species. Some hydrangea varieties enjoy full sun while others require a more shady location. Not all hydrangeas flourish in heavy afternoon sun, but panicle and climbing hydrangeas can handle it. Panicle hydrangeas need at least six hours of sun to bloom to their full potential. Macrophylla and serrata hydrangeas will burn up in full sun in hotter climates -- so, provide those hydrangeas with afternoon or dappled shade. Oakleaf can usually handle full sun in temperate climates, but, in warmer climates, they also require some afternoon shade.
You'll also want to choose a location large enough for the plant to grow to its full mature size. You don't want to miss out on any of those beautiful flowers-or find them bent because your shrubs are running up against a building or another plant. Consider both the mature height and spread of the plant, and whether you'll need room to set stakes for large flowers.
Using Hydrangeas as Hedge Plants
Imagine a living flower wall as the perfect backdrop for your next brunch on the patio. Hydrangeas don't have to work merely as specimen plantings or container shrubs. They can also be used to create vibrant, ready-to-be-talked-about hedgerows. We recommend choosing a medium-sized hydrangea with compact habit for maximum "bushiness". You can also use hydrangeas for low privacy hedges or divider rows.
Installing hydrangeas as hedge rows is not unlike planting them for any other purpose, but you'll need to pay close attention to their mature size and spread.
Situate your plants so that the established hydrangeas are able to touch or intertwine, creating a row without gaps. For most plants, that means spading them so that each hydrangea is given just a few inches less than its full width.
Make sure you'll be able to allot the care and watering needed to keep your hedge happy and healthy-a bunch of hydrangeas use more resources than just a single plant, and you'll need to provide consistent watering and nutrition to ensure the plants grow at the same rate.
Prepping the Soil for Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas prefer rich, well-fertilized soil that drains well. The first step in loving your hydrangeas? Giving your soil some love.
Work the soil to at least six inches deeper than you plan to plant your hydrangeas. If your hydrangeas come in a 12 inch tall pot, you'll need to aerate and amend the soil to a depth of one and a half or two feet.
If your soil is poor in quality, rocky, sandy, or made up of heavy clay, break up the soil well. Use the native soil as much as possible, and add in compost sparingly. Organic compost or aged manure, will add nutrients to the soil and help to aerate.
If you're working with pink-to-blue varieties of hydrangeas, you may find yourself inspired to amend the soil to reach your color goals. Some hydrangea varieties change their coloring based upon soil pH. To play with soil pH, read more about pink-to-blue hydrangeas here.
Plan ahead for mulching. Hydrangeas perform better when given a winter dressing of mulch or other organic matter. Mulching protects the roots from winter's chill, and it introduces new nutrients into the soil as the mulch breaks down.
How to Plant Hydrangeas: Step by Step Instructions
Once you've chosen the perfect spot for your hydrangeas and prepared the soil, you're ready to plant. For best results when planting hydrangeas, follow these steps:
Create a hole twice as wide as the plant's root system, and about six inches deeper than the plant's pot. Break up the soil a bit before you plant to help the roots easily establish themselves. Score, or rough up, the sides of the hole before planting your hydrangea. This allows the roots to enter the existing soil more easily.
Now, unpot your hydrangea. Check to ensure that the roots look healthy, and trim or break up any pot-bound roots.
Next, you'll place the plant into the hole at about the depth at which it was set in its shipping container.
Begin to backfill the soil, and water in the plant when you've refilled the hole halfway. Watering helps to eliminate any air pockets and settle the plant in. Then, fill the rest of the way.
Water the plant in well. If any soil settles and exposes the root ball, add more soil until the roots are covered again.
If you're performing spring mulching, set a layer of mulch 2-3 inches thick over your planting site. Be careful to not crowd the mulch up against the base of the plant.
Congratulations-you've planted your hydrangeas. Let's talk about what to look for next.
How to Care for Hydrangeas
Do hydrangeas bloom in the first year? Many hydrangea varieties bloom in the first year, especially if they develop flower buds while growing in their pots. However, some hydrangeas prefer to become established before blooming, and should bloom the following spring season with proper care and pruning. Regardless of your hydrangea variety, plan to give your new plants a little extra attention in their first year.
New hydrangeas need plenty of moisture, but check the soil before watering. If the soil is dry one to two inches below the surface, then water. If the soil is sufficiently hydrated and the plant is showing signs of stress, lack of water may not be the cause. Overwatering of hydrangeas can cause just as many issues as under-watering. Remember that while hydrangeas prefer and thrive in moist soils, they will not tolerate wet, soggy and/or poor draining spots in the landscape.
While your hydrangeas may not need pruning in their first year, it's prudent to plan for pruning needs. You'll need to know whether your hydrangea blooms on old wood or new wood, to determine which season is the best for pruning. And you can prune at the end of the first season to remove any damaged or mis-guided shoots. Read more about pruning hydrangeas in our hydrangea pruning guide.
Hydrangea Pests and Diseases
Hydrangeas don't suffer from many diseases, but they are susceptible to grazing by deer and other mammals over the winter. Deer will browse all hydrangea species, and, depending on other food sources available, they can go after them quite heavily. To a lesser extent, rabbits, mice and voles can also cause damage to tender shoots and leaves.
Oakleaf and arborescens hydrangea are particularly prone to deer browsing. Prior to winter, wrap the accessible parts of the hydrangea with a deer cage or wire. If that doesn't deter your furry friends, try a commercial deer repellent.
Recommended Hydrangea Varieties
The wide variety in the hydrangea genus makes for plenty of options-and, occasionally, decision paralysis. Check out a few of our favorite new hydrangeas and classics.
Skyfall is a new, more compact hydrangea for lovers of Limelight and other green-white paniculatas. Exceptionally large flower clusters on a mid-size plant open in early summer, with the shape of classic hyacinths.
Little Spooky is a beautifully compact paniculata, similar to Limelight or Skyfall but smaller. A true dwarf hydrangea, Little Spooky can be planted in groups along small borders, but offers a big punch of pleasant green color.
Incrediball Hydrangea offers huge, fairy-tale-esque blooms at nearly 12 inches wide. This is a remarkable Arborescens hydrangea, with strong stems that won't break even under the weight of those magnificent flowers.
Berry White is a beautiful example of a white-to-red paniculata. Its large, white, conical flower heads mature to a rich dark pink to red, but variance in the shift of individual blooms gives a lovely multi-hued look to the landscape.
Summer Crush is another option for lovers of rich tones. It's one of the truest red hydrangeas yet grown in the United States. This macrophylla blooms in deep raspberry tones, and it's incredibly cold-hardy.
Snowcicle an oakleaf hydrangea, starts with white double florets, creating a cascade of texture. Those flowers age to soft rose-red, then change to a light green hue as the season goes on.
Twist N Shout Hydrangea, a lacecap macrophylla, features a lovely periwinkle blue tone in its blooms in acidic soil, and a pretty bluish pink in alkaline. Luckily, you won't find yourself short on these blooms, since this macrophylla blooms on both old and new wood.
Magical Chocolate is a unique hydrangea, with thick latex-like sepals and a deepening red color tinged with chocolatey hues.
No matter what kind of hydrangea you choose, Spring Hill is here to help you make this year's garden your most successful yet. For more hydrangea help, check out our gardening guides.

Growing Potatoes on Mars Could Actually Work, Says NASA-Backed Experiment
Space09 March 2017
By Dave Mosher, Business Insider
(20th Century Fox)
In the 2015 blockbuster movie The Martian, a fictional botanist-turned-astronaut gets stranded on Mars, forcing him to "science the shit" out of his dire situation.
Mark Watney (played by Matt Damon) survives by fertilising Martian soil with his faeces, slicing up potatoes, and planting the cuttings in the soil. This eventually grows him enough food to last hundreds of days.
Growing potatoes and other food on Mars is not just a sci-fi curiosity. Now, a NASA-backed "Potatoes on Mars" experiment is showing that Watney's fictional feat might actually be possible.
NASA has eyed a crewed mission to the red planet for decades - and Congress even passed a bill that implores the space agency to reach the Red Planet by 2033. The agency is also exploring ideas of a Martian colony.
To that end, scientists at NASA and the International Potato Centre (CIP) in Lima, Peru, built a tuber-growing experiment that recreates the extreme conditions on the surface of Mars.
Everything happens inside a rocket-launchable box called a CubeSat. The CubeSat is rigged with pumps, water hoses, LED lights, and instruments to emulate Mars-like temperatures, night-and-day light cycles, gases, and air pressure.
In February 2017, researchers dumped practically lifeless soil from Peru's Pampas de la Joya desert inside, planted a tuber in it, sealed up the box, and began filming to see what happened.
"Preliminary results are positive," according to a CIP press release - which is to say a potato plant grew in inhospitable desert soil under Mars-like conditions.
International Potato Center
"If the crops can tolerate the extreme conditions that we are exposing them to in our CubeSat, they have a good chance to grow on Mars," Julio Valdivia-Silva, a NASA researcher at the University of Engineering and Technology in Lima, said in the release.
"We will do several rounds of experiments to find out which potato varieties do best,'" he said. "We want to know what the minimum conditions are that a potato needs to survive."
Would this actually work on Mars?
The experiment doesn't provide the ironclad proof a would-be Martian potato farmer needs.
For one, the soil did not actually from Mars. Though it was arid and inhospitable, it probably still had microbes that may have helped the potato plant's growth.
The experiment also used potato cuttings instead of seeds. That's an issue because making potatoes last on a months- or years-long journey may require heating under pressure (called thermostabilisation) or a blast of radiation.
This damages the cells of a potato, "making it hard to grow plants from cuttings", Keith Cowing, the founder of NASAWatch, told Business Insider in a tweet.
However, several other experiments have shown it may be possible to grow food in Martian soil and in even-more-inhospitable moon dust, called regolith.
Bruce Bugbee, a botanist and NASA scientist at Utah State University, told Tech Insider in 2015 that there's no reason why growing potatoes or other food crops in Martian soil wouldn't work.
(He did, however, take issue with Watney mixing his faeces into the soil, which he said may be "toxic to the plants".)
The CIP, NASA, and other institutions are now looking to see how several varieties of potatoes perform in the Mars-like CubeSat box, including special varieties they have bred to withstand harsh conditions.
Aside from helping astronaut farmers of the future, the work also stands to benefit humans on Earth.
"The results indicate that our efforts to breed varieties with high potential for strengthening food security in areas that are affected, or will be affected by climate change, are working," Walter Amoros, a potato breeder at CIP, said in the organisation's release.

The hit maker explained her thought process, speaking on knowing someone as a friend is different than knowing them as a lover, a mother or a secret admirer.
She then got philosophical in her prologue and spoke on human beings in general.
In the brief clip, Taylor talks about how excited she is about performing on SNL but Tiffany interrupts and asks her if any songs are about her on Reputation.
"We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them they have chosen to show us. We know our friend in a certain light, but we don't know them the way their lover does. Just the way their lover will never know them the same way that you do as their friend. Their mother knows them differently than their roommate, who knows them differently than their colleague. Their secret admirer looks at them and sees an elaborate sunset of brilliant color and dimension and spirit and pricelessness.
And yet, a stranger will pass that same person and see a faceless member of the crowd, nothing more. We may hear rumors about a person and believe those things to be true. We may one day meet that person and feel foolish for believing baseless gossip. This is the first generation that will be able to look back on their entire life story documented in pictures on the internet, and together we will all discover the after-effects of that.
Ultimately, we post photos online to curate what strangers think of us. But then we wake up, look in the mirror at our faces and see the cracks and scars and blemishes, and cringe. We hope someday we'll meet someone who will see that same morning face and instead see their future, their partner, their forever. Someone who will still choose us even when they see all the sides of the story, all the angles of the kaleidoscope that is you.
The point being, despite our need to simplify and generalize absolutely everyone and everything in this life, humans are intrinsically impossible to simplify. We are never just good or bad. We are mosaics of our worst selves and our best selves, our deepest secrets and our favorite stories to tell at a dinner party, existing somewhere between our well-lit profile photo and our drivers license shot. We are all a mixture of selfishness and generosity, loyalty and self-preservation, pragmatism and impulsiveness. I've been in the public eye since I was 15 years old.
On the beautiful, lovely side of I've been so lucky to make music for a living and look out into crowds of loving, vibrant people. On the other side of the coin, my mistakes have been used against me, my heartbreaks have been used as entertainment, and my songwriting has been trivialized as oversharing.
When this album comes out, gossip blogs will scour the lyrics for the men they can attribute to each song, as if the inspiration for music is as simple and basic as a paternity test. There will be slideshows of photos backing up each incorrect theory because it's 2017 and if you didn't see a picture of it, it couldn't have happened right?
There will just be reputation."

Brielle Thorsen and the Order of the White Rose
On this week's episode, we chat with Brielle Thorsen, Master of Applied Science Candidate in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, the Student Programs and Outreach Assistant, Aboriginal Access to Engineering, and Winner of the $30,000 Order of the White Rose Scholarship from Polytechnique Montreal.
Polytechnique created the scholarship as a to the victims as well as the wounded, the families, the faculty members, the employees and the students who were forever affected by the Dec. 6th 1989 Montreal Massacre. White roses have become the symbol of Polytechnique Montréal's commemorative activities to mark the tragedy. The 30,000 scholarship is awarded annually by the Polytechnique administration to a woman engineering student who intends to undertake graduate studies in engineering (master's or PhD) at the institution of her choice, in Canada or elsewhere in the world.
Ms. Thorsen chats with us about her research, her work on Aboriginal Access to Engineering, the scholarship she has won, and the challenges she and other women and Indigenous peoples have faced building careers in STEM disciplines.
After our chat with Ms. Thorsen, around the 18:40 mark, we open a new segment with Nikolas Yuen, Kingston-based vocal artist, actor, and host of CFRC's jazz program Shed Progressions (Mondays, 11 PM EST). Nik joins us to chat about MAW: A Community Celebration of Vocal Arts taking place December 12th 2020.
When we think of the vocal arts, we tend to think of singing – the sonically pleasing, broadly accessible, and widely popular sounds that vocalists make. But what about other vocal arts and practices, to which some dedicate themselves with all of the passion and hard work of the most celebrated singers. Are bird calls, auctioneering, ventriloquism, and sound healing somehow the products of a lesser commitment to craft?
The Kingston Frontenac Public Library, King Con, and the Tone Deaf Festival are co-presenting Georgia Webber's immersive concert series, "MAW," which will attempt to answer this question and the celebrate the human voice in all its permutations. Often blurring the roles of audience and performer, "MAW: A Community Celebration of the Vocal Arts" brings together an array of vocalists to perform and reflect on their vocal arts. At this Kingston edition of MAW audiences will hear from local artists like Nik Yuen who chats with us here about his vocal arts, his artistic work in the community, and his craft.

Fusion, the reaction that powers the sun and most stars, is the fusing of light elements that generates massive amounts of energy. Researchers seek to replicate fusion on Earth for a virtually inexhaustible supply of energy by controlling plasma, the hot, charged state of matter composed of electrons and atomic nuclei, or ions, that fuels fusion reactions. Theorists create computer models that simulate the processes involved, which experiments then test in attempts to confirm.
Recent experiments at PPPL validated a code of Belova's to predict a way to suppress a type of plasma instability that can halt fusion production. The method could prove useful to ITER, the international fusion facility under construction in France to demonstrate the ability to produce 10 times more power than it consumes.
Belova, 53, joined PPPL in 1997 as the second female physicist to work in the Theory Department. Among her honors has been the Katherine E. Weimer Award for Women in Plasma Physics, a national honor named for the first woman theorist at PPPL, which Belova received in 2005.
She earned a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics in 1984 and a master's degree in plasma physics in 1987, both from the Institute, though relatives had tried to persuade her not to switch subjects. "They said physics was too hard for a woman," she recalled.
But math had become too abstract for Belova and physics, while more difficult, was also more practical and exciting. She worked as a research engineer at the Space Research Institute in Moscow from 1987 to 1989 and as a junior research scientist from 1989 to 1992. While space physics is no longer her subject, her knowledge has served in good stead. "There are many common approaches in fusion and space plasma physics," she said.
Belova and her husband, also a physicist, left Russia for the United States in 1992. She had been accepted in the graduate program at Dartmouth College, and became a research assistant in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. While she had learned technical English terms as an undergraduate student in Russia, her command of the broader language was still a bit shaky. "In my first year as a teaching assistant I would sometimes just write equations on the board and would point them out to students rather than trying to explain," she said.
After earning her doctorate in physics from Dartmouth in 1997 she worked as an associate research physicist at PPPL until 2004, a research physicist until 2008 and a principal research physicist since then. Among the scientific articles she has written at the Lab have been 15 invited papers for workshops and conferences around the world.
Belova is the fourth PPPL staff member to be appointed to an editorial position in recent years. Richard Hawryluk, interim director of the laboratory, chairs the editorial board of the journal Nuclear Fusion; David Gates, principal research physicist and Stellarator Physics Division Head at PPPL, is editor-in-chief of the new online journal Plasma; and Igor Kaganovich, principal research physicist and deputy head of the PPPL Theory Department, serves as associate editor of Physics of Plasmas.
Investigation of plasmas in astrophysics and fusion research / funding for another two to five years.
The center fosters collaboration between scientific institutes in both Germany and the USA. By leveraging the skills and expertise of scientists and engineers in both countries, and by promoting collaboration between astrophysicists and fusion scientists generally, the center hopes to accelerate discovery in fundamental areas of plasma physics.
An equally important mission of the center is to support education and outreach to train the next generation of scientists. In the USA, this includes hosting training workshops for K-12 science teachers, and sponsoring summer research experiences for undergraduates.
In Germany, the host institutions are the Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP), the Max-Planck-Institut for Solar System Research (MPS), and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA). In the USA, the host institutions are the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), and the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University.
To find out more about the Center, follow the links here.
Funding for the Center is generously provided by the DoE Office of Science, the National Science Foundation, the Max-Planck Society, NASA's Heliophysics Division, and Princeton University.
What is the basis of this success? The scientific attractiveness of the Max Planck Society is based on its understanding of research: Max Planck Institutes are built up solely around the world's leading researchers. They themselves define their research subjects and are given the best working conditions, as well as free reign in selecting their staff. This is the core of the Harnack principle, which dates back to Adolph von Harnack, the first president of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, which was established in 1911. This principle has been successfully applied for nearly one hundred years. The Max Planck Society continues the tradition of its predecessor institution with this structural principle of the person-centered research organization.

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have built and delivered a high-resolution X-ray spectrometer for the largest and most powerful laser facility in the world.
The diagnostic, installed on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the DOE's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, will analyze and record data from high-energy density experiments created by firing NIF's 192 lasers at tiny pellets of fuel. Such experiments are relevant to projects that include the U.S. Stockpile Stewardship Program, which maintains the U.S. nuclear deterrent without full-scale testing, and to inertial confinement fusion, an alternative to the magnetic confinement fusion that PPPL studies.

At the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), scientists have assembled a large database of detailed measurements of the two dimensional (2-D) structure of edge plasma turbulence made visible by a diagnostic technique known as gas puff imaging. The two dimensions, measured inside a fusion device called a tokamak, represent the radial and vertical structure of the turbulence.
Fusion occurs naturally in space, merging the light elements in plasma to release the energy that powers the sun and stars. On Earth, researchers create fusion in facilities like tokamaks, which control the hot plasma with magnetic fields. But turbulence frequently causes heat to leak from its magnetic confinement.
PPPL scientists have now delved beyond previously published characterizations of turbulence and analyzed the data to focus on the 2-D spatial correlations within the turbulence. This correlation provides clues to the origin of the turbulent behavior that causes heat and particle leakage, and will serve as an additional basis for testing computer simulations of turbulence against empirical evidence.
The paper studied 20 discharges of plasma chosen as a representative sample of those created in PPPL's National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) prior to its recent upgrade. In each of these discharges, a gas puff illuminated the turbulence near the edge of the plasma, where turbulence is of special interest. The puffs, a source of neutral atoms that glow in response to density changes within a well-defined region, allowed researchers to see fluctuations in the density of the turbulence. A fast camera recorded the resulting light at the rate of 400,000 frames per second over an image frame size of 64 pixels wide by 80 pixels high.
In the resulting graphics, a blue cross indicates the point of focus for a calculation; the red and yellow areas around the cross are regions in which the turbulence is evolving similarly to the turbulence at the focal point. Farther away, researchers found regions in which the turbulence is changing opposite to the changes at the focal point. These farther-away regions are shown as shades of blue in the graphics, with the yellow cross indicating the point with the most negative correlation.
Going forward, knowledge of these correlations could be used to predict the behavior of turbulence in magnetically confined plasma. Success of the effort could deepen understanding of a fundamental cause of the loss of heat from fusion reactions.
Also contributing to this study were Filippo Scotti of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and J. R. Myra of Lodestar Research Corporation. Support for this work comes from the DOE Office of Science.
A key issue for next-generation fusion reactors is the possible impact of many unstable Alfvén eigenmodes, wave-like disturbances produced by the fusion reactions that ripple through the plasma in doughnut-shaped fusion facilities called "tokamaks." Deuterium and tritium fuel react when heated to temperatures near 100 million degrees Celsius, producing high-energy helium ions called alpha particles that heat the plasma and sustain the fusion reactions.
These alpha particles are even hotter than the fuel and have so much energy that they can drive Alfvén eigenmodes that allow the particles to escape from the reaction chamber before they can heat the plasma. Understanding these waves and how they help alpha particles escape is a key research topic in fusion science.
If only one or two of these waves are excited in the reaction chamber, the effect on the alpha particles and their ability to heat the fuel is limited. However, theorists have predicted for some time that if many of these waves are excited, they can collectively throw out a lot of alpha particles, endangering the reactor chamber walls and the efficient heating of the fuel.
Recent experiments conducted on the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, which General Atomics operates for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in San Diego, have revealed evidence that confirms these theoretical predictions.
Losses of up to 40 percent of high-energy particles are observed in experiments when many Alfvén waves are excited by deuterium beam ions used to simulate alpha particles and higher-energy beam ions in a fusion reactor such as ITER, which is now under construction in the south of France.
In the wake of this research, physicists at the DOE's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) produced a quantitatively accurate model of the impact of these Alfvén waves on high-energy deuterium beams in the DIII-D tokamak. They used simulation codes called NOVA and ORBIT to predict which Alfvén waves would be excited and their effect on the confinement of the high-energy particles.
The researchers confirmed the NOVA modeling prediction that over 10 unstable Alfvén waves can be excited by the deuterium beams in the DIII-D experiment. Furthermore, in quantitative agreement with the experimental results, the modeling predicted that up to 40 percent of the energetic particles would be lost. The modeling demonstrated for the first time, in this type of high-performance plasma, that quantitatively accurate predictions can be made for the effect of multiple Alfvén waves on the confinement of energetic particles in the DIII-D tokamak.
"Our team confirmed that we can quantitatively predict the conditions where the fusion alpha particles can be lost from the plasma based on the results obtained from the modeling of the DIII-D experiments" said Gerrit Kramer, a PPPL research physicist and lead author of a paper that describes the modeling results in the May issue of the journal Nuclear Fusion.
The joint findings marked a potentially large advance in comprehension of the process. "These results show that we now have a strong understanding of the individual waves excited by the energetic particles and how these waves work together to expel energetic particles from the plasma," said physicist Raffi Nazikian, head of the ITER and Tokamaks Department at PPPL and leader of the laboratory's collaboration with DIII-D.
The NOVA+ORBIT model further indicated that certain plasma conditions could dramatically reduce the number of Alfvén waves and hence lower the energetic-particle losses. Such waves and the losses they produce could be minimized if the electric current profile in the center of the plasma could be broadened, according to the analysis presented in the scientific article.
The DOE Office of Science supported this research. Members of the research team contributing to the published article included scientists from PPPL, General Atomics, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of California, Irvine.
Jonathan Ng, a Princeton University graduate student at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), has for the first time applied a fluid simulation to the space plasma process behind solar flares northern lights and space storms. The model could lead to improved forecasts of space weather that can shut down cell phone service and damage power grids, as well as to better understanding of the hot, charged plasma gas that fuels fusion reactions.
Coauthoring the paper were physicists Ammar Hakim of PPPL and Amitava Bhattacharjee, head of the Theory Department at PPPL and a professor of astrophysical sciences at Princeton University, together with physicists Adam Stanier and William Daughton of Los Alamos National Laboratory. Support for this work comes from the DOE Office of Science, the National Science Foundation and NASA. Computation was performed at the National Energy Research Scientific Computer Center, a DOE Office of Science User Facility, and the University of New Hampshire.
Physicists from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are providing critical expertise for the first full campaign of the world's largest and most powerful stellarator, a magnetic confinement fusion experiment, the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) in Germany. The fusion facility resumes operating on August 28, 2017, and will investigate the suitability of its optimized magnetic fields to create steady state plasmas and to serve as a model for a future power plant for the production of a "star in a jar," a virtually limitless source of safe and clean energy for generating electricity.
The W7-X started up in December, 2015, and concluded its initial run in March, 2016. The facility has since been upgraded to prepare for the high-power campaign that is set to begin.
Deeply involved in the new 15-week run are PPPL physicists Sam Lazerson and Novimir Pablant, who are spending two years at the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics in Greifswald, Germany. Lazerson, who previously mapped the W7-X magnetic fields with barn-door sized magnetic coils built by PPPL, heads a task force that will plan and run a series of experiments on the stellarator. Pablant, who designed an x-ray crystal spectrometer to record the behavior of W7-X plasma, will operate the diagnostic together with a German spectrometer and will contribute to planning and executing research.
"This will be the first run of the machine in its designed configuration," said David Gates, who heads the stellarator physics division at PPPL and oversees the laboratory's role as lead U.S. collaborator in the W7-X project. The new run will test a device called an "island divertor" for exhausting thermal energy and impurities. The campaign will also increase the heating power of the stellarator to eight megawatts to enable operation at a higher beta — the ratio of plasma pressure to the magnetic field pressure, a key factor for plasma confinement.
Such progress marks steps toward lengthening the confinement time of the hot, charged plasma gas that fuels fusion reactions within the optimized machine. "The goal is to increase plasma confinement compared with traditional stellarators," said Gates.
Going forward, Max Planck engineers plan to install a U.S.-built "scraper element" on the W7-X after completion of the initial 15-week campaign. The following phase will study the ability of the unit, originally designed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and completed at PPPL, to intercept heat flowing toward the divertor and improve its performance. Plans call next for installation of a water-cooled divertor in 2019 to further increase the allowable pulse length of the stellarator.

Schaeffer and colleagues conducted their research on the Omega EP laser facility at the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics.
Collaborating on the project was PPPL physicist Will Fox, who designed the experiment, and researchers from Rochester and the universities of Michigan and New Hampshire. "This lets you understand the evolution of the physical processes going on inside shock waves," Fox said of the platform.
To simulate the findings, the researchers ran a computer code called "PSC" on the Titan supercomputer, the most powerful U.S. computer, housed at the DOE's Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility.
The simulation utilized data derived from the experiments and results of the model agreed well with diagnostic images of the shock formation.


The day started early(ish) leaving the hostel at 0750 and almost straight away climbing up North Mountain. At last I had been rewarded with a hard climb. When I dropped back down to Cape North and had bought groceries for the day I saw a group of about 8 riders riding "the loop", fully supported and with a SAG wagon. I stopped to chat to one of them and got some useful route advice for the road ahead.
I now headed around the Alternative Scenic Route via White Point, which was one of the highlights of the whole of Cape Breton. The first half of the road was freshly laid tarmac - beautifully smooth. There were great views, good climbs and virtually no other vehicles.
Another view of Aspy Bay.
After lunch by the lighthouse at Neils Harbour I stopped to use the wifi at the library at Ingonish. Although there were no other campsites for 50km I felt it was too early to stop, so carried on, looking for a place to wild camp or having the possibility of a long day.
I stopped for an ice cream at the base of Smokey Mountain and was warned by almost everyone I spoke to about the upcoming climb, but as is often the case it turned out to be an easy one. The descent was unforgettable though, the road was steep, continually twisting and turning and there was nearly no other traffic, so I was able to use the full road. Yee haa.
As I approached Wreck Cove I saw a spot perfect for wild camping, but there was no water there and I was desperate for a wash and my water bottles were nearly all empty. Half a mile further on there was a river, so after doing the necessaries I was back at the good spot, and was able to watch the moon reflected on the sea before climbing into my cold bag.
All set up for the night near Wreck Cove.
Is it really a month since the last full moon?

If you've been charged with a crime, from a minor traffic violation, drug possession, theft crime or assault, it's important to face the charges against you with a competent, experienced legal defense. Hiring a qualified lawyer will help you avoid devastating consequences, including longer sentences, higher fines, longer probation and even jail or prison time. Convictions for even a misdemeanor can have long-term effects on your future and ability to obtain or keep your job.
Ewing Law Group provides affordable and experienced criminal defense representation from the very beginning. In many cases you can avoid the stress and embarrassment of appearing in court and continue to go to work or school while your case is handled.
Being arrested for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (also known as DUI or DWI) can have serious consequences, which may affect you for years to come. California state and local law enforcement, district attorneys and judges take a hard stance on DUI charges. People convicted of driving under the influence can face severe penalties, including loss of your driving privileges, fines, required installation of an ignition interlock device, participation in a DUI education program and jail time.
If you have been arrested for a DUI in Sacramento County, Placer County, Yolo County, El Dorado County or anywhere in California, we can help you and protect your rights.
In some cases, it is possible to have a misdemeanor or a felony conviction erased from your record. This is what is referred to as an expungement. A criminal record can cause lifelong consequences and may prevent you from getting a job or entering the military.
In order to expunge your criminal record, we will prepare and file a petition to the court to have your case reopened and your plea set aside. After a successful expungement, your record will show that the case was dismissed.

Motorcyclist hospitalized after colliding with truck in Cathedral City
Sherry Barkas
A motorcyclist was severely injured after colliding with a truck in front of a convenience store on Palm Drive in Cathedral City on Tuesday, closing the street for about two hours.
The crash was reported just before 7:30 p.m. in the 22600 block of Palm Drive, near the Interstate 10 intersection.
Based on witness accounts and a preliminary investigation, police say it appears the motorcyclist merged into the northbound lane from the Chevron station driveway, colliding with the oncoming truck.
The motorcyclist, whose name was not released, was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
The investigation into the cause is continuing, police said.
VICTIMS: More than 30 Californians among dead in Vegas
GRANT: Cathedral City fire receives $1.4 million in federal funding

March madness…. in the garden.
With Spring only 3 short weeks away (yikes!), it's time to get serious.
Come by the Slow Food Office to pick up seed packets.
We still have a fairly plentiful supply left.
Clean out shed or storage container. Assess tool condition. Check hoses.
Based on the soil test already done (hopefully), add soil amendments a few weeks before planting.
Create a planning chart to organize planting and optimize yield. Consider Garden to Cafeteria and Youth Farm Stand program needs.
If you haven't already done so, start (now) cool season crops such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage indoors for transplant mid to end of April. Cool season seedlings – broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard- will be available early April.
Direct sow in ground cool season (hardy) crops such as arugula, lettuce, spinach, peas, kale beginning mid-March through the end of April.
Start warm season crops (tender) such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant indoors at the end of the month for transplant mid- late May. Hold off on melons and squash until mid to end of April or they will get unmanageable and difficult to transplant.
Begging is not beneath me. PLEASE get in the habit of entering your garden-time data. WE NEED THIS INFORMATION!
*If you're a gambler, hedge your bets and plant early. Precipitation increases in Denver during March. Snow will not hurt cool season crops. Remember, however, germination rates may be slowed with cold soil temps. Try warming the soil for quicker germination by laying thick black plastic several days before planting.

Who knew that an ancient arachnid species, dormant for over a millennium, was ready to move out and take over the world? A U.S. government entomologist in Washington, DC, and an FBI agent in Minnesota are about to find out. Swarms of black, flesh-eating critters are hatching from ancient egg sacs and wreaking havoc around the world, from Peru to China and from India to the U.S. Arachnophobes, don't touch this book, which is full of spiders. Other horror fans will eagerly turn the pages of The Hatching, which is the 1st in a planned trilogy.
When Holmes -- Warlock Holmes, that is -- meets Dr. John Watson, Watson soon realizes that his new friend has supernatural powers. Watson also sees that the idiosyncratic Holmes is hopeless at sleuthing and relies on his special powers rather than on observation and deduction -- so Watson begins teaching him how to detect. In this Victorian-set mashup, Arthur Conan Doyle's characters become shapeshifters, demons, vampires, and ogres. While Warlock Holmes is often more hilarious than scary, it offers enough gore and powerfully evil characters to satisfy horror fans, especially mashup lovers.
The year: 1988. The place: Charleston, South Carolina. Abby and Gretchen have been BFFs since fifth grade, but now that they're in high school, Gretchen seems different. After a series of bizarre events, Abby realizes that Gretchen has a demon living inside her -- and it's up to Abby to rescue her friend. In My Best Friend's Exorcism, author Grady Hendrix hits a home run with a "spectacularly grotesque and profane" (Kirkus Reviews) exorcism scene. Don't miss this terrifying tale, filled with spot-on 1980s popular culture references and framed at the beginning and end with yearbook-style layouts.
In Hex, acclaimed Dutch author Thomas Heuvelt portrays an idyllic Hudson Valley town similar to others in the region -- except that the other villages aren't haunted. Black Spring is home to the ghost of Katherine van Wyler, an alleged witch who was tortured and hanged in the 1600s. Eyes and lips sewn shut, she visits the town's residents, ominously coming and going in their houses whenever she wants. But for residents to leave Black Spring would be to invite disaster, so the town's leaders have taken measures to keep it quarantined. Then a group of boys decides Katherine needs an Internet presence, and horrendous chaos breaks out. "Read it if you dare!" says Kirkus Reviews.
Originally built by the government to house scientists working on top-secret projects, Wink, New Mexico, has been declining ever since its research station shut down in the 1970s. When ex-cop Mona Bright moves into the house she inherited from her late mother, she gets to know Wink's remaining inhabitants: town clerk and semi-professional gossip Mrs. Benjamin; eccentric motel owner Parson, who plays Chinese checkers against an invisible opponent; and the elusive, reclusive Mr. First. However, nobody in Wink admits to having known Mona's mother, who once worked at the research facility. With its menacing atmosphere and slow-building psychological suspense, this 2012 Shirley Jackson Award winner shouldn't be read late at night.
Eddie Alley grew up in the Virginia mountains during the Depression. His father worked far from home; there were rumors that his mother was a witch. After escaping to New York City, Eddie became a comedic television host specializing in horror movies, but his normal family life changes radically when he takes in a homeless boy. At the same time, his daughter, Wallis, begins to display some of her grandmother's peculiar behaviors. This dread-inducing tale full of richly developed characters alternates between 1940s Appalachia and present-day New York. Witches on the Road Tonight won author Sheri Holman a Shirley Jackson Award and a Independent Publisher Book Awards gold medal for 2011.
Caught between the bleak environment of the boys' correctional center where she works and her disorderly home, where she cares for her alcoholic father, Eileen Dunlop is immediately captivated by a glamorous new counselor at the prison. Befriending Rebecca Saint John, however, doesn't improve Eileen's life, either psychologically or materially. Looking back from the perspective of a normal middle-aged woman, Eileen relates the traumatic experiences that unfold over the course of a December week -- until the dramatic escape she hints at from page one. Eileen won the 2016 Pen/Hemigway award in addition to being short-listed for a 2015 Shirley Jackson Award.


The meanings of Remove and Delete are quite similar to each other, referring to the general action of separating something from another thing. In most cases, we translate the word Remove as 删除 like the word Delete.
Eg. Please remove the button from the panel.
Please remove it from the filtering list.
Take a music player for example, if you right click the playlist with your mouse, and find Remove and Delete option appears in the right-click menu, and how will you translate them? Still translate both of the Remove and Delete as 删除?If so, the menu would become rather confusing. In this case, you should translate Remove as 移除 and Delete as 删除.
With the Remove option in the right-click menu, you can remove the song from the playlist, and the music file still remains where it was.
With the Delete option in the right-click menu, you can delete the song from the playlist and delete the music file from where it was, eg. local disk, removable disk or other portable devices.
Actually the two operations are quite different, as you see.
Slight difference may cause big trouble if we do not pay attention to that.


A dog stolen from a Cheshire home has been reunited with her owner after being found in Finchampstead.
Tinker, a cream lurcher, was found some 180 miles away in the village near Wokingham on Boxing Day, Wednesday, December 26, 2018.
After being missing for almost four months, the hard work and dogged determination of animal warden Mandy Dorman ensured Tinker was reunited with her family.
The stray was caught by someone in the village and taken to the vets, who contacted the out-of-hours dog warden.
Tinker was scanned by a vet but they were unable to get any owner details from her microchip.
Determined to get the dog home, Mrs Dorman then contacted the microchip database to 'backtrack' to when the chip was implanted three years ago, which gave her the contact details of Tinker's former owner.
Unfortunately they didn't have any details for Tinker's new owner, so she was moved to a rehoming centre.
Mrs Dorman said: "The following day I received a call from a lady called Laura who said that we might have her dog, a lurcher called Tinker.
"The previous owner had found her details and contacted her.
"Laura emailed me her proof of ownership and I established that Tinker, the striking cream lurcher, had been stolen from the family garden in Sandbach, Cheshire last October.
"Laura then drove down to all the way to Berkshire to collect Tinker who was so happy to see her and the family."
Lurchers like Tinker are prized for their hunting, hare coursing and racing abilities.
Mrs Dorman works as the area's Animal Warden as part of the Public Protection Partnership (PPP).
Councillor Iain McCracken, chairman of the joint public protection committee, said: "We are delighted the Public Protection Partnership has managed to return another stolen dog back to its rightful owner.
"We would also like to remind everyone who has a dog how important it is to register your dog's microchip.
"You can easily register the microchip with your vet or by contacting the relevant microchip database company online or by phone.
"Please telephone the Public Protection Partnership on 01635 519171 if you would like to find out more about microchipping your dog or if you would like to report a stray animal."
The PPP delivers Environmental Health, Trading Standards and Licensing for Wokingham Borough Council, Bracknell Forest Council and West Berkshire Council.

Home TV News Diablo Trademark Suggests That Netflix Series Is Happening
Diablo Trademark Suggests That Netflix Series Is Happening
The long-rumored Diablo animated series that is supposedly being produced for Netflix may have finally been proven to exist by a recent trademark registration that hints that the series is still in development.
According to Spiel Times, Blizzard Entertainment on March 8th registered a "goods and service" trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, that says "Downloadable films and movies featuring narratives based on a video game and provided via a video-on-demand service".
In September of last year, screenwriter Andy Cosby inadvertently leaked news of a Diablo animated series for Netflix for which he would be the showrunner. Cosby's tweet was later deleted and no official word has been released concerning a Diablo animated show.
It's killing me that I can't talk openly about my new super secret project, because my new super secret project is just so frikkin' cool! Soon… very soon…
— Andy Cosby (@andycosby) March 14, 2019
Cosby also wrote another tweet on March 14 where he talks about a secret project that he is working on and how he will be able to talk about it soon.
The evidence of a Diablo Netflix show existing keeps piling up and it's becoming increasingly difficult to deny that the Lord of Terror will be making his way to our screens in the future.

Ninety-five passengers have been taken to city hospitals and about a third of them are in serious condition, according to an emergency services official.
A derailment of coaches on the Moscow metro on Tuesday morning resulted in 21 deaths and more than a hundred people suffering injuries. Carriages on the busy Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya dark blue Metro line derailed, after what was believed to be a sudden failure in the electricity supply to a conductor rail.
According to RT.com, about seven people are believed to be trapped in one of the train carriages. Attempts are being made to try and evacuate the stricken passengers, who are stuck in a tunnel between Park Pobedy and Slavyansky Bulvar stations, in the west of Moscow, the website added.
RT cited Moscow's emergencies agency press service as saying the train derailed because it had to brake too suddenly.
Ninety-five passengers have been taken to city hospitals and about a third of them are in serious condition, according to an emergency services official. Over 60 medical teams and ambulance helicopters are working at the site of the accident.
About 200 people have been evacuated from the metro.
Moscow emergency situations department spokesman Viktor Biryukov said earlier that an eyewitness reported sudden braking of a train on the Slavyansky Boulevard - Park Pobedy stretch at 8:39 a.m. Firemen arrived at the scene at 8:45 a.m.
A criminal inquiry is pending into the accident, Russian Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin told Interfax. "Detectives are working at the accident scene. A criminal inquiry is pending. A number of tests will be done to expose the causes of the accident," Markin said.
Services on many lines of the metro have slowed down as the rescue operations continue. The Moscow Metro, one of the largest in the world, has a good safety record. Last year, thousands of passengers had to be evacuated and dozens needed medical help after a fire broke out in metro. Moscow authorities denied reports of smoke emerging on the affected line today.

Politics I am still SLPP - Chief Kapen
I am still SLPP - Chief Kapen
Erstwhile chairman and leader of the main opposition Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP), Chief Somanoh Kapen has said that "nothing will stop him from being a member of the SLPP. "I'm still SLPP through and through."
The former SLPP Chairman was speaking on Wednesday September 20, 2017, on the outcome of the just concluded national delegate conference in Kenema.
Chief Kapen said he will sit quietly as a private member and observe the way things unfold in the party. He said will proffer advice at any point in time if called upon to do so.
He, however, ruled out the possibility of him joining the Grand Alliance Coalition, as people are speculating.
He said the SLPP has thrown away its chances of winning the March 7, 2018 multitier elections, noting that if they fail they will realise and learn from their mistakes.
Reacting to allegation that he boycotted, Chief Kapen said he did not boycott the convention because he was in Kenema and was lodged at Capitol Hotel.
"I arrived in Kenema on Thursday September 14, 2017. I was out at night and based on what I saw and heard, I decided to leave for Freetown." "There are too many intrigues and deceptions among people in politics," he said.
The newly elected SLPP Publicity Secretary, Lahai Lawrence Leeman said the convention was very successful because it was free and fair. He applauded the Sierra Leone Police (SLP) for providing security, and the Political Parties Registration Commission (PPRC) and the media, civil society organisations and APC party for their support. He said the convention did not commence early because of the Muslim Friday prayer.

Heilbron is a small farming town in the Free State province of South Africa which services the cattle, dairy, sorghum, sunflower and maize industries. Raw stock beneficiation occurs in leisure foods, dairy products and stock feeds. It also serves as a dormitory town for the Gauteng metropolis.

Game farming in the district grew to the extent that it is believed that game numbers reached an all-time high, evident in visiting tourist numbers. Due to its close proximity to Gauteng (60 km) the town became ever more popular to weekend tourists and city dwellers in need of a relaxing weekend filled with peace, quiet and fresh air. Popular activities are horse riding, off road cycling, fishing, game drives, utilizing both motor vehicles and quad bikes, historical tours and affordable sporting facilities.

History
In 1836, the Voortrekkers fought off the local people of Ndebele Chief Mzilikazi at the Battle of Vegkop near the present town of Heilbron. This historical site boasts a monument and a contemporary museum which are both popular stops for battle field tourists.

Heilbron was officially established in 1873. The town was founded at the site of a perennial natural fountain, thus the name 'Heilbron' (Afrikaans for 'Spring of Bliss'). The fountain is the source of a small stream which runs through the town. Various small groups of people have lived on the banks of the stream for centuries.

A Hester Dorothea PELSTER, a1b2c4d1e1f6g6h4, born 19 November 1891, was baptised in Heilbron on 28 February 1892. She is a descendant of the PELTZER progenitor Abraham PELTZER and his wife Elizabeth VAN DEN BERG.

After Bloemfontein was conquered by the British forces during the Anglo-Boer War (on 13 March 1900), Heilbron was proclaimed as the capital of the independent Boer Republic of the Orange Free State. A few weeks after the fall of Bloemfontein, Heilbron was also occupied, and President Steyn moved the capital to Frankfort , another town in the northern Free State. By 18 May 1900, the Orange Free State was defeated, annexed by Britain and renamed  the "Orange River Colony". Many Boer fighters refused to surrender. The area surrounding Heilbron was rife with guerilla activity.

In order to subdue those Boers who continued to fight, the British High Command attempted to cut the guerilla army off from its source of provisions. Boer farms were razed and concentration camps, such as the one in Heilbron, were built to house the Boer women, children and non-combatant labourers who provided support to the Boer fighters. The camps were ill-planned and thousands of Boer civilians died of starvation, disease and exposure. Today the Heilbron concentration camp is used as a private school. A monument to commemorate the victims of the camps can be found in the town cemetery.

During the early years of its history, several Jewish citizens of Heilbron played an important role in developing the town. Many of the streets in Heilbron are thus named after prominent founding Jewish citizens. The old synagogue has been converted into a museum, by the name of "Riemland Museum".

Attractions

Heilbron train station

Heilbron railway was first laid in 1899 and connects to the link in Wolwehoek. Later the line was extended to Petrus Steyn and Lindley . The old sandstone building is a provincial heritage site.

NG Church
The congregation of Heilbron was first established in 1874, it was seceded from Kroonstad. The sandstone building of the Dutch Reformed church was inaugurated in 1885, the cornerstone was laid by President Brand in 1880. On it's grounds is a monument to the Heilbron burghers killed in the Anglo-Boer war.

Leeuwpoort of the Weilbachs Farms

During the Anglo-Boer War Heilbron was for a few days the capital of the Free State. One of the houses was built by a Scottish building contractor for Johan Frederik Weilbach and his wife Catharina Johanna in 1894. During the Anglo-Boer War the house was not burned down as many of the others were. Colonel Delzeal, the commanding officer in Heilbron, had given instruction that Johan's wife and 12 children still lived in the house and that they should not be harmed. Winston Churchill visited the farm Leeuwpoort, which was used as a base for the British officers during the war. The farms are provincial heritage sites.

Mother and Child Memorial
The Mother and Child Memorial commemorates the 787 Boer women and children who died between 1899-1902 in the British concentration camp at Heilbron during the Anglo-Boer War. The large cemetery serves as a stark reminder of the tragedy.

Vechtkop Battlefields, Monument and Museum

The Battle of Vegkop was fought between the Matebele of Mzilikazi and the Voortrekkers of Hendrik Potgieter just outside the town of Heilbron. On 16 October 1836 about 6 000 Matebele warriors attacked the laager of the Voortrekkers at Vechtkop. A battle ensued and 430 Matebele and two Voortrekkers were killed.

Riemland Museum

The Riemland Museum is housed in an old Jewish synagogue, which in itself tells the story of the Jewish influence on the history of the town. The museum tells the rich history of the early hunters in the Riemland, as well as the early pioneers and settlers.

Jamaica Crime News, St Catherine: The police have now indicated that the licensed firearm holder who was held with an illegal firearm, along a section of the Old Harbor road in Spanish Town, St Catherine on Sunday, February 9, is actually a former Jamaica Labor Party Councillor.
The name of the former JLP political activist is being withheld pending further investigations.
Reports by the police are that shortly after 5:00 p.m., the former Councillor was driving a Honda Aquara motor car through a joint military check point at Innswood, along Old Harbor road in Spanish Town, when he was signaled to stop.
He complied and it was discovered that he was a licensed firearm holder, but further search of the vehicle led to the seizure of an illegal handgun, a Taurus 9mm semi-automatic pistol.


Just as indicated in the subject: I am not going to write about the story here. I, myself, am not far in yet and I certainly wouldn't want to take away any content for my readers either.
So instead, I am going to give you a few impressions I have gotten without talking about the story.
The launch was very smooth and as always, I am impressed with the technical side of the game. In one moment, you were playing the "old version" and in the next, the expansion was ready to be downloaded. No downtime of any sort. However, later in the evening (EU time), the servers had issues. I could not get into a story instance with my warrior with whom I'd also wanted to take a look at the expansion (currently playing with my mesmer as my main). The "old world" seemed to work just fine. I decided to leave the game and wait for today to see if everything's running smoothly again. So far, it is.
The soundtrack is really good so far. My favourite song is the one based on the Nightfall Soundtrack. In general, I feel like I'm back in Nightfall when I listen to the music – or look around! Because that's the next part that I really love, as always: The world design! I have only seen one map so far, Crystal Oasis, and it's amazing! Describing it through words is impossible, so I will close this post with a gallery of pictures I took in Crystal Oasis.
I didn't get in until Saturday morning (US – PT). And by then, there were not issues on my end. Just once – right when I tried to gamble – it kicked me out. But they had a patch within 5 minutes, and all was well again.
I agree, the scenery and the music is great! I love having new content and story!
The scenery is what I've always loved, no matter the content they released. <3 New content is always good, too, of course. :p I've not gotten far in the story yet, as I want to take my sweet time experiencing it.
Yep, I'm in no hurry either. Even if I have to ride the first mount for a month😄 It's amazing how many people had to get all the mounts right away.
I normally play with the music turned off (farming habit) so I must make sure I give this Soundtrack a listen!
I often turn off the music as well (Netflix, for example… :p). But here I really like turning it on so far. At least, until I've heard all the songs the game offers for the new maps now. And since one song especially reminds me of Guild Wars: Nightfall, it's even better!

Tax Reform and Environmental Policy: Options for Recycling Revenue from a Tax on Carbon Dioxide
Policy simulations from the Goulder– Hafstead Energy-Environment-Economy (E3) computable general equilibrium model of the US economy show the economic impacts of a carbon tax under alternative methods of recycling the tax revenues.
Lawrence Goulder and Marc Hafstead
Carbon taxes are a potential revenue source that could play a key role in major tax reform. This paper employs a numerical general equilibrium model of the United States to evaluate alternative tax reductions that could be financed by the revenues from a carbon tax. We consider a carbon tax that begins at $10 per ton in 2013 and increases at 5 percent per year to the year 2040. The net revenue from the tax is substantial, and the GDP and welfare impacts of the tax depend significantly on how this revenue is recycled to the private sector. Under our central case simulations (which do not account for beneficial environmental impacts) over the period 2013–2040, the tax reduces GDP by .56 percent when revenues are returned through lump-sum rebates to households, as compared with .33 and .24 percent when the revenues are recycled through reductions in personal and corporate tax rates, respectively. Introducing tradable exemptions to the carbon tax reduces or eliminates the negative impacts on the profits of the most vulnerable carbon-supplying or carbon-using industries. The GDP and welfare impacts are somewhat larger when such exemptions are introduced.

Amy Shank presents Jane Austen lecture
WVC Speaks lecture series: Amy Shank presents "Jane Austen is A Serious Writer of Comedy"
Media Contacts: Randy Mitchell, education and career planning director, 509.682.6858, or Libby Siebens, executive director community relations, 509.682.6436 (Mon. – Thurs.)
The first Wenatchee Valley College Speaks lecture series will feature English faculty Amy Shank and "Jane Austen is A Serious Writer of Comedy" on Thursday, Nov. 19, at 2 p.m. in McArthur Lecture Hall, Wenatchi Hall room 2105. The lecture will also be available via interactive television on the WVC at Omak campus in Heritage Building room 901. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Shank will discuss Jane Austen's work, which, like the work of many of her female contemporaries, is often devalued as "lesser" work because she wrote as a woman, about women's lives. This devaluation deprives Austen of the reputation she deserves as a writer of serious literature; her commentaries on feminism, economics, family structure and social justice often go unnoticed – or are diminished by critics because of her gender, or because of the fact that she wrote comedic works.
Shank argues that Austen's work holds great importance because she was a woman, because of her excellence as a writer and because her commentary on the family as a vital social structure still holds true. Her writings underline the importance of women's roles within the family and in society at large, echoing the opinions of her immediate predecessor, Mary Wollstonecraft, and providing commentary that would inform novelists of both genders – including the Brontë sisters, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy and others.
Austen should be considered a major author – not just a writer of pretty tales to be dismissed as "chick lit."
Shank is an ardent reader of Jane Austen's works and a full-time English professor at WVC. She has been a teacher for 14 years, teaching all grade levels (except preschool) in Mexico, the U.S. and the U.K. At WVC she teaches composition and literature. Shank earned her B.A. in English from Eastern Washington University, her Master in Teaching from Whitworth and her M.A. in English from EWU. Her areas of study are Victorian Literature, Romantic Literature, American Literature and women's memoir writing. She is a member of the National Council of Teachers of English, the Modern Language Association and the Jane Austen Society of North America.
WVC Speaks, inspired by TED Talks, creates a forum for faculty and staff to share their expertise and passion for their subject matter with their colleagues and invited guests across campus and disciplines. The series will present a wide range of academic and topical presentations, and celebrates the breadth of knowledge and experience in the WVC community.
The next presentation will feature earth science faculty Dr. Ralph Dawes giving a presentation on earthquakes on Thursday, Dec. 3, at 2 p.m.
WVC Speaks is sponsored by the WVC Professional Development Committee.

Q: Translucent fill in paintComponent I am making a 2D Java game and I'd like to darken stuff in the dark areas. I was wondering if I could use alphatransparent colors in a paintComponent method. If not, does translucent PNGs work or is there effects for darkening images.
Thanks

A: You can use transparency/opacity in java.
Here you can find some basic info on the procedure. The important step is using an AlphaComposite object to set the alpha value of your drawing

A: I would create a new BufferedImage of type TYPE_INT_ARGB, edit straight into the raster data, - set the color of your choice (with desired alpha), and just draw it after everything else, in your paint method. drawImage is pretty fast. And if you want to change the darkness colors, you can set the new alpha values on the fly directly into the data array of the image.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) dismissed the concerns of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in an interview with Fox News on Thursday, after the powerful advocacy group criticized his budget for "failing to meet [the] moral criteria," of protecting human dignity, prioritizing the needs of the hungry and homeless and promoting the common good. He also suggested that the criticism itself might not represent the Bishops' consensus view — an insinuation the group directly rejects.
"These are not all the Catholic bishops, and we respectfully disagree," Ryan said.
I can't imagine any who understands what the Ryan Plan does and how it does it would support it. Certainly no one with morals or a basic understanding of economics, or really just base human decency would do so.

Q: How to manage windows wifi in ruby? I have been looking for a library(or just sample code) to manage windows wifi. I have found a few for linux using commands, but windows doesn't offer a way like that.
Im looking a simple list networks, be able to tell whether open/wep/wpa, pass password as an argument, etc.

A: If you invoke the netsh tool you should probably be able to do most of what you want to do. For example, to dump all the visible networks, run:
netsh wlan show networks

A: #! /usr/bin/ruby
# save this file as: "~/iwlist.rb"
# make executable: chmod +x ~/.iwlist.rb
# execute with: "~/iwlist.rb"

Yesterday, Saturday 7th May, I had unprotected s_x with my boyfriend, what date should I take a pregnancy test to get an accurate answer as to whether im pregnant or not?
If your period is due May 21st or in the following few days, there is about a 1 in 3 chance of pregnancy. My suggestion is not to test until May 28th. If you do not want to be pregnant, you should take EC (Emergancy Contraception) first thing Monday morning. Good luck!
