IRAM reveals a large reservoir of organic material in the starless core L1544
Placed in the Taurus star forming region, at about 450 light-years from Earth, L1544 is the prototype of prestellar cores, the cold gas condensations on the verge of collapsing to form new stars. An unbiased frequency survey of this dense core has been carried out with the IRAM 30-m radiotelescope, as a part of the Large Program ASAI (Astrochemical Surveys at IRAM; Lefloch, Bachiller et al. 2015), and has recently been used by Vastel et al. (2014, 2015) to provide the full census of oxygen bearing complex organic molecules (COMs) in its central region. As an example, Figure 1 shows the richness of the spectrum in the frequency range from 81 to 89 GHz, together with the identification of the most prominent lines.
Is the black hole in NGC 1277 really obese?
It is well known that each galaxy hosts in its nucleus a super-massive black hole, of mass equal to 0.2-1% of its bulge mass. Recently a few exceptions of over-massive black holes might have been discovered, although this is still under debate. In the lenticular galaxy NGC 1277 in the Perseus cluster, the largest black hole ever has been claimed, through stellar kinematics measurements, to be about 50% of its bulge mass! Some astronomers have contested this value...

Les jeunes galaxies mangent du froid
Une équipe internationale d'astronomes a réussi à montrer que quelques milliards d'années après le Big Bang, lorsque l'Univers n'avait qu'un tiers de son âge actuel, les galaxies massives formant des étoiles contenaient cinq à dix fois plus de gaz froid que celles d'aujourd'hui. Réalisées grâce à l'interféromètre du Plateau de Bure, ces observations de grandes quantités de matière froide, élément clef dans la formation stellaire, expliquent directement les productions gigantesques d'étoiles à ces époques reculées.
Première localisation de l'eau dans un système planétaire en formation
Pour la première fois, des astronomes ont pu localiser où se trouve l'eau dans les disques en rotation autour d'une jeune étoile, semblable à notre soleil. Ces disques, au sein desquels l'on pense que les planètes se forment, sont constitués de gaz et de poussières. La présente analyse montre, de plus, qu'ils peuvent renfermer jusqu'à cent fois la quantité d'eau contenue dans les océans terrestres. Réalisées avec l'interféromètre du Plateau de Bure, l'un des radio observatoires les plus sensibles au monde, les observations permettent ainsi de dévoiler une partie du mystère de l'origine de l'eau dans les systèmes planétaires...

IRAM detectors, tiny but great in space
ESA, the European space agency will soon launch two new scientific satellites for astronomy in a combined mission with its heavy load carrier Ariane 5. Both of them, Planck and Herschel, are equipped with the latest high technology from the Grenoble area. In particular the Herschel Space Observatory (HSO) will embark super-conducting detectors which have been designed and manufactured at the IRAM laboratories.
Infant galaxies: small and hyperactive
When galaxies are born, do their stars form everywhere at once, or only within a small core region? Recent measurements with the Plateau de Bure Interferometer provide the first concrete evidence that star-forming regions in infant galaxies are indeed small - but also hyperactive, producing stars at astonishingly high rates.
First detection of glycolaldehyde outside the Galactic Center
With the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer an international team of scientists has detected for the first time outside the Galactic center the simplest of the monosaccharide sugars: glycolaldehyde. The importance of this organic molecule remains in the fact that it can react with propenal to form ribose, a central constituent of RNA, and is, therefore, directly linked to the origin of life...

Employers are able to take advantage of greater access to work-based training. Students may also start to observe where they may come across future employment and the way they could fit into the employers operations. They then hone in on their area of interest and research the career of their choice.
You should have at least two decades of industry experience to bring in certification. Although not always required, continuing education should be expected of mechanics appearing to keep on top of the company. But cutting CTE funding isn't huge league, it is a minor league play that puts our nation in danger of striking out in the area of international competitiveness.
The choice of a career involves an excellent deal of planning. The option of a career involves a good deal of planning. Your career is your preferred line of work which you're genuinely interested in and hope to produce a living from the activities involved.
A social work degree requires you to receive practical experience, so that after you get your degree you're well ready to be on the path to potential employment.

When it has to do with post-secondary education, CTE often is made up of stand-alone programs that concentrate on practical training for particular occupations. They take one, a few years to finish, based on the curriculum. In addition, there are more than 750 CTE programs offered to middle and higher school students around the state, with over 30,000 students currently enrolled.
An MBA Degree has turned into a highly-demanded and prosperous additional degree in nearly all fields of profession and company. Plus, they are also given the opportunity to take online classes for particular subjects. The student can decide with the extra qualifications he's got and can use his knowledge in any specific field.
Let's take a look at some of the important elements of a significant PHP training Institute in Kolkata. In Finland, about half of upper secondary students decide to register for the CTE pathway (rather than the standard high school) as they see it as a means to explore and find out more about career choices. There are a few great examples all around the country of colleges that supply the necessary supports to EL students.
There are a lot of career alternatives to pick from and still a lot more within the paradigms of the existent ones. You learn skills like prep and clean up, and data about basic things like sanitation and nutrition. In order to select an ideal path, you also require a feeling of the way the above personality types match up to several career clusters.
Increasing adolescent literacy rates is an intricate challenge that should be addressed from several perspectives. For students to develop into successful and productive members of society they need to learn how to earn. Some positions might need a graduate level.

Koch Bros. Influence Felt in New Jersey as Governor Weighs Carbon Market Exit
New Jersey's potential withdrawal from the 10-state Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative would deal a major blow to the cap-and-trade scheme
He added that transmission capacity running from Pennsylvania into New Jersey is maxed out. If Pennsylvania's power did indeed become cheaper, energy companies would have to build more transmission lines, during which time energy prices in RGGI states would continue to fall.
"The way the program was designed was to auction pollution permits and use that money to invest in energy efficiency programs that would reduce the total bills for folks. By reducing energy consumption as a whole, it would actually reduce energy prices," he said.
"The less energy that you buy, the less the clearing prices for [wholesale] energy in the state."
RGGI Proceeds Could Support Gov.'s Goals
Martinez noted that proceeds from RGGI would support Christie's clean energy platform by offering financing for offshore wind development, solar energy installations and green manufacturing.
Pat Rose of the said in an e-mail that the six projects receiving $12.3 million in loans from CESCI funding are expected to leverage more than $30.2 million in public-private investment and lead to the creation of 50 permanent jobs and 39 construction jobs.
Among those projects is a 3.5-megawatt solar facility for William Paterson University in Wayne. The project, which Rose said is being called the largest university solar facility nationwide, is expected to save $4.3 million in energy costs over the next 15 years.
Martinez said: "When the governor sits down to look at [RGGI], he'll see that it matches very well with what he wants to do on clean energy."

Yesterday I discovered a patch of ramps clustered around my wood pile. I was tickled to find that my yard supports these wild-growing leeks. I snagged a trowel and my husband, and we went to work harvesting a healthy armful of green leaves and white bulbs. I cleaned the wild produce in the kitchen sink, and my excitement grew as I considered the new flavors I could introduce to my cooking. I should clarify: I had never actually tried ramps before. I had only ogled friends' images of their own ramps jealously on Instagram. To me they were a distant farmers market commodity, available only for a few weeks every spring. I was also satisfied with the fact that the new ingredient had come from the ground, and I had actually picked it myself. It's a unique reason to appreciate living where I do. When I lived in the city, yes, I had a garden, but finding surprise ingredients to add to supper never happened.
Folks who live in rural Door County live here for all kinds of reasons, but the twenty and thirty-something's I know share common ground. We care about what we eat and want to be part of where it comes from. We want to feel like a part of a community, and we are thrilled by the opportunities available to us here.
Last Monday I had burgers with my friends Craig and Allison. They talked about their decision to move to Door County just over two years ago. They came with a much better-developed appreciation for where their food comes from than my own. In fact, they moved here for Craig's job at Waseda Farms. Craig wanted to work with livestock, specifically organic livestock. When the farm he had worked for in New Glarus shut down, he saw it as an opportunity to pursue his interest. His cousin, a restaurateur in Egg Harbor, introduced him to Waseda's owner. After an eight-hour interview in the dead of winter, Craig took the job. He and his now-fiancé, Allison, moved into an apartment in Egg Harbor a few weeks later.
Allison also found several part-time jobs using her skills as a cook and baker as well as her background in early childhood education. As a couple in their mid twenties, they had a bit of a hard time meeting people at first. Working on a farm and in a kitchen, they didn't have much time to meet people. Craig's 50-60-hour workweek was demanding; though he appreciated the full-time year round work. Then Craig started shooting hoops with a group of guys on Sunday evenings. He changed jobs and now works on a goat farm in Sister Bay. Lately, he's been gathering ramps to flavor the delicious creamy goat cheese. Allison has just started a position as the cook for the Peninsula Players. Craig and Allison are planning their wedding, and they're committed to keeping it as sustainable as possible, right down to the edible centerpieces.
Despite some challenges, moving to Door County fulfilled a dream they'd had since they began dating. Craig's family had spent summers on a sailboat during his childhood, and Allison had also visited the peninsula. They knew they wanted to try out year round life here. They told me about a favorite adventure they'd had. This year on Valentine's Day they took their dog Paige on a hike in Peninsula Park. They decided to take advantage of the solid ice and venture all the way across the bay to Horseshoe Island. That type of adventure is not available just anywhere.
My friend Annie remembers visiting Cave Point as a high school student and standing at the edge of the coastline waiting to be splashed with the waves. Last week when we had a conversation outside the Y in Fish Creek she marveled that people come from all over to see Cave Point. Unlike Allison, Craig and me, Annie is a native. She's lived in Door County her entire life. Her parents are both from the peninsula and much of her extended family lives in west Jacksonport. Annie moved away to attend college in Oshkosh, but chose to move back. "Ultimately, this is where my heart is," she told me. Annie admires her parents, who she said are "really hardworking people and they always worked to give us every opportunity." Annie credited her parents' examples for her own multi-faceted career as a personal trainer and cross country and track coach.
An avid runner herself, Annie's favorite place to hit the pavement or the trail is Whitefish Dunes State Park. There, she told me, she can run on the beach, jog on a flat trail or power through hilly terrain. I wondered whether she ever stopped seeing Door County's natural beauty. She admitted that yes, she might take it for granted sometimes because this is what she's used to. Annie said she can refresh herself with the specialness of this place by slowing down and reconnecting with the relationships she has here. Annie cherishes the supportive community she lives in. She said that when someone is sick or something goes wrong, the community rallies to help.
One surprise she found when she began working at the Y was the number of people her age in Northern Door. Annie said many of her siblings' friends have chosen to return to Door County to raise their families. We talked about why this is: there are great schools here, and it is a safe place. Annie shared another insight from a conversation she'd had with another friend. She observed that there are opportunities here that aren't possible in other places, like owning a business. "There are so many young business owners and entrepreneurs, just people with bright ideas." This idea came up in conversation with my friend Cindi.
Cindi and I talked about Door County in the dining room of her gorgeous rustic home in the woods outside Sister Bay. Cindi, her husband Jeremy and their four kids moved to Sister Bay from Appleton just over one year ago. Like Allison and Craig, they were fulfilling a dream to have a residence here, and it came to fruition sooner than expected. Jeremy's job in Sturgeon Bay brought their family north, and he eventually chose to start his own asset management practice. Cindi has found that in a community of many business owners, people help one another out.
Cindi talked about their family's easy transition to peninsula life. The kids joined scouts last summer and made friends before starting school. Cindi said friends asked her whether she wouldn't go "stir crazy" during long winters in Door County. Instead, she said their family goes sledding and skiing on their property and attends kids programming at the Ridges and Peninsula School of Art. Cindi said that "because it is a small community that you know more about what's going on." I asked her how living in Sister Bay feels different from living in Appleton. "I think it's more laid back up here." She explained that when she and her family go places, like out to dinner, they see people they know in Sister Bay, whereas in Appleton that was not usually the case.


Hawaiʻi Island police have charged a 21-year-old Pepeʻekeo woman in connection with an escape from a Hilo correctional facility.
At 5:32 p.m. Sunday (April 7), after conferring with prosecutors, detectives charged Shaylyn Momi Araw with second-degree escape. Her bail was set at $10,000. She was scheduled to make her initial court appearance Monday afternoon (April 8).
At 7:35 a.m. Sunday, police responded to the Hale Nani facility off Route 11 after receiving a report from correctional officers that Araw had scaled a fence and fled on foot. She was being held at Hale Nani for various property crimes.
Personnel from South Hilo Patrol, the Special Enforcement Unit, and the Criminal Investigations Division conducted extensive searches along Route 11 as well as in the Hilo area. Police received and followed up on a tip that Araw might be in the upper Wainaku area. She was located there and arrested at 3:50 p.m.

David Harter – A local Hero
David Harter, who died last week age 85, co- founded Harter and Loveless in September 1985 (in fact, I have only just discovered his copy letter to Mr Quill of The Cleansing Department at Islington Council of July 1986 complaining that, whilst the firm had paid their refuse removal charges promptly and in advance, their weekly rubbish collection was wholly dependent upon his prevailing upon a passing dustcart driver to empty the bins.
The humorous tone throughout was then followed by a forthright, threat to sue the Local Authority for breach of contract).
David had begun his legal career at the Bar and developed a busy practice in several disciplines including Planning Law which would stand him in good stead in his later work within the Coin Street Action Group and as a consultant to Islington Council as the Channel Tunnel Rail legislation made its way through Parliament. His involvement with the Coin Street Community, under the leadership of his great friend Iain Tuckett, continued for many years as a Trustee of the organisation.
David was admitted as a Solicitor in 1972 and became involved in the nascent Law Centre movement which he so admired. His liking for an intellectual challenge ensured a comprehensive knowledge of Housing and Family Law and he embraced the ethos of making representation available to those sections of society who would otherwise be disenfranchised.
By the late 1980's David and Huw Jones had built a very successful criminal practice at Harter and Loveless. I had to develop a thick skin in later years when attending at local police stations and courts to be told by clients time and time again "You're not David."
When I joined Harter and Loveless in 2000, David was working as a freelance Solicitor elsewhere. I sounded David out about a return to the H&L fold. One trepidatious meeting with him later and I had a partner in crime. I always suspected that his acquiescence was, in part, because he would always have the footballing bragging rights.
David was synonymous with The Cally. A walk from the office to his home in Thornhill Square would be interrupted by representatives from local interest groups, shop owners and neighbours. He was regarded as something of a local enabler and he took up their various causes with his usual enthusiasm. He was a champion of his community albeit it in an understated and low key fashion.
The early 2000's saw the expansion of H&L as we occupied both 398 and 325 Caledonian Road. Throughout, David was a much valued colleague. In 2003 Patricia, Gordon Johnston and I set up Harter's at 398 concentrating on Family and Criminal work. David appreciated the retention of his name as we left the original practice. We appreciated his loyalty, friendship and continued engagement with us.
David's strong sense of fairness and justice fuelled his desire to do right by his clients . His facility with young and old, dangerous and feeble, friendly and bad-tempered made him the advocate of choice for clients.
In March 2016 David celebrated his 80th birthday and in April 2016 spent his final day on his feet at Highbury securing the release of his three clients after which he had his usual lunch at The Trevi.
Having reconciled himself to retirement, David maintained a keen interest in the world at large but particularly enjoyed the company of his family and friends. A move to London Fields in 2018 took him closer to a couple of his sons and their families and he had the immense good fortune to spend his final years at home with his beloved Caryl.
What a great man; he had an appetite for life with all its maddening ebbs and flows. I was privileged to have known him as a colleague but also as a close friend. His good humour, unfailing common sense and kindness combined with a ferocious intelligence and ease with the world set him apart.

Oops, I Have to Pee in a Cup
Daniel O'Brien ·
Judge Scott Gordon has ruled that Britney Spears must undergo random drug and alcohol tests to see if she's fit to be a mother. If her last, glassy-eyed, painful-to-watch performance is any indication, there's more than a good chance that she will fail those tests, leaving her two children in the sole custody of ex-husband Kevin Federline. To be honest, I'm psyched because I really feel like I'm finally a part of a pop star's meltdown. I was born in the late eighties, so I really only caught the tail end of Michael Jackson's Mutant Train to Sodomy Town, and I wasn't really old enough for him to be a relevant figure when I was growing up. His transformation didn't really register with me because the only Jackson I knew was Crazy Jackson. But Britney? Man, I remember when she was the cock of the god damn walk. I was never a fan, but growing up I certainly understood that she was a Pop Star. She was a super huge deal. I loved watching her go from Untouchable Superstar to Sinead O'VaginaOnDisplay in record time. Maybe it's a generational thing, I don't know. Some people watched Elvis go from super-sexy to fat-sexy and eventually to dead-on-a-toilet-sexy. Some people saw the slow transition from a black superstar to a white pedarest. Me, I got to watch the innocent school girl shave her head and transform into the Weekly World News's Bat Child. When I watched her bounce around on stage at the VMA's, like a big hunk of ham in black underwear, I thought "This has got to be the low point." But now a judge is making her take a drug test to find out if she's as responsible as Kevin Federline. To really drive this point home, I'd like to close things out by quoting Federline's "America's Most Hated" off of 2006's Playing With Fire:
So I duck and roll Middle fingers still up sayin' fuck the globe And my dawgs still down We dont trust them hoes I live life like a King I was extra stoned Kevin Federline

The Illinois Wesleyan University School of Theatre Arts production of Eugène Ionesco's savage satire Rhinoceros. Performance dates February 27 through March 4, 2018 at the Jerome Mirza Theatre, McPherson Hall. Originally set in a small French town, the play was adapted to take place on the Illinois Wesleyan campus and local community. Rhinoceros is a commentary on the human condition, as the community is suddenly besieged by one roaring citizen who finds himself turning into a rhinoceros and proceeds to trample on the social order. As with any "disease," more citizens become infected. Written in 1959 in response to the resurfacing of fascism in parts of Europe, the play explores the theme of social conformity as average citizens turn into mindless savages.

This recipe is about as easy as it gets. I love it because it uses the leftovers from the Spicy Black Beans and Mexican Rice. Once you pull together all these simple ingredients, plop them into a bowl, then waaahhhlaa, you have created marvelous deliciousness in a bowl.
It is perfect for busy days or nights and it takes only minutes to throw together.
What is so fun about this dish is that you can literally change out the ingredients, add more, take some away and you will have a beautifully scrumptious salsa veggie bowl.
You can add corn, peppers, pinto beans, etc., truly anything that compliments the salsa and other ingredients. It is just that good. We love it. It is definitely one of those dishes that is often in rotation due to its simplicity.
Some days, my brain is just wiped out from work, and I can't think of a darned thing, let alone trying to scrounge around in the kitchen to come up with something to eat. Monkey is very busy and active as well. She always has something going on and when we both are too tired, we will make some type of veggie bowl. This one is one of our favorites.
It's a wasted effort, but I can't stop myself!
Have you ever gone to the kitchen, opened up all the cupboards, shut them, then gone to the fridge, opened the fridge door, shut it, then the freezer door, shut it, then gone back to the cupboards and opened them all up once again as if something magically new and delicious is going to appear?
I swear I do this all the time, so does Mom, and Michael. I know we all do it. I just have to laugh when I think about this crazy ritual that never results in anything, but I do it even though I know it is futile. I even know consciously while I am doing it that it is a hollow effort, but I still keep doing it. Ya just have to laugh.
It's during times like these that I fall back on dishes like the Salsa Veggie Bowl. We always have lettuce greens, vegetables, and salsa in our house. AND most of the time, we have some type of complimentary leftovers to throw in the veggie bowl that will work.
You can even get creative and throw in some WFPB compliant tortilla chips. Wait, there are tortilla chips that are WFPB compliant? Where? Hold the phones, we are all looking for those. They are as elusive as a unicorn. Wouldn't it be awesome if someone invented them and marketed them? I would totally buy WFPB compliant oil free tortilla chips, but alas no one has created them yet. At least to the best of my knowledge, they don't exist, or do they?
What we do is we take WFPB compliant corn tortillas, cut them up and bake them in the oven until crisp. They are tasty and delicious.
Create a bed of iceberg lettuce or other salad greens in a dinner plate sized bowl.
Chop and prepare the tomatoes, jalapeno pepper, avocado, green onions and place them on top of the bed of lettuce.
Heat a cup of the Mexican rice leftovers in the microwave, and place them on the bed of lettuce.
Heat a cup of the Simple & Spicy Black Bean leftovers in the microwave, and place them on the bed of lettuce.
Add salsa to the center of the bowl and sprinkle a few finely diced red onions on top.
Storage: Refrigerate any leftovers and use within the day.

Overview of Loss Limitations; Family Office Partnership; Sale to Spousal Grantor Trust
First, business losses are subject to several limitations. In response to the 2020 pandemic, businesses or their owners may carry 2018, 2019, and 2020 losses back five years and get tax refunds. We will go through a "big picture" review of the net operating loss (NOL), basis, at-risk, and passive loss limitations and how they affect income and self-employment tax. The review will include whether taxpayers benefit from deducting losses currently or suspending them until they have higher earnings. We will also briefly discuss other doctrines under which taxpayers might get refunds relating to income reported in prior years that, on hindsight, should not have been taxed.
Next, much has been made of trying to structure family offices to try to deduct investment management fees, which generally have been disallowed under 2017 tax reform and really hadn't been very beneficial before that in light of the 2% floor on miscellaneous itemized deduction and their total disallowance for alternative minimum tax purposes.
Finally, a sale to a spousal irrevocable grantor trust is an alternative to a sale to an irrevocable trust deemed owned by the seller, whether the seller is the grantor or the primary beneficiary. We will discuss the sale to a spousal irrevocable grantor trust and compare it to the other two strategies.
Attendees will learn:
Generally, how the net operating loss (NOL), basis, at-risk, and passive loss limitations work and relate to each other, including some optionality potentially available in the basis and at-risk areas.
How these limitations interact with self-employment tax, in light of a 2020 Chief Counsel Advice.
That a family office that is taxed as a pass-through entity has much more difficulty deducting various expenses than an office taxed as a C corporation (including an unreported 2018 Tax Court order on the former), together with cautions regarding how a C corporation is compensated.
When allocating profits from an investment partnership to the family office, how proposed income tax regulations governing service partners complicate the design of such a profits interest from a practical cash flow viewpoint as well as a tax viewpoint.
Transfer tax and income tax consequences of a sale to a spousal irrevocable grantor trust.

Incredible Gift to MDA
The Christmas spirit brings an incredible gift to Muscular Dystrophy Australia: Major prize winner Rob Pitt donates $30,000 Harley Davidson right back to the Melbourne based charity
Rob Pitt, left with his wife Anne, won the $30,000 Harley Davidson and donated it straight back to MDA
It's the Festive Season and the time of giving and to say things don't get much more 'giving' than this is an understatement.
Twice a year, Muscular Dystrophy Australia (MDA) runs a Harley Raffle, a fundraising initiative in which people pay $10 per ticket for their chance to win a brand new Harley Davidson Motorcycle.
On Wednesday, the lucky winner was drawn from the barrel and it was long time MDA supporter Rob Pitt, who also runs the hugely popular Hotel Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula. Rob had a brother affected by Muscular Dystrophy (MD), who sadly passed away many years ago. As an ongoing supporter of MDA, the team were excited to see such a worthy winner.
However as soon as Rob was called with the good news, MDA received some incredible news right back; Rob was donating his winnings, the equivalent of a $30,000 donation, back to MDA.
"As happy and excited as I was to win the bike, I just don't need it, and MDA needs the money a lot more than I ever could," said Rob.
"Having a brother affected by MD meant that I knew the effects of this disorder and how devastating it can be, so I didn't have to think twice about contributing my winnings back to an organisation that supports Australian's living with MD," Rob concluded.
MDA's Executive Director Boris M Struk said he could not think of a more deserving winner when he saw the name pulled out of the barrel.
"Rob has been such a strong and long-term supporter of MDA, with donations to our ChallengeMD events and he is always willing to chip in to help us in our fight against MD, so I was thrilled when I saw he was the winner" said Mr Struk.
"We were taken aback by Rob's incredibly generous, kind and really unheard of gesture, to donate the prize straight back to us and give MDA $30,000 to continue doing what we do is simply amazing and we are so grateful. If you see Rob at Hotel Sorrento, make sure you say a few kind words to such a generous man," Mr Struk concluded.
The funds raised from the twice a year raffle ensures MDA is able to continue funding research into a cure for Muscular Dystrophy at the National Muscular Dystrophy Research Centre, as well as support services and programs for those affected by the disorder.

Joseph Bernard Reymond (1834-1918), miller and politician, was born on 3 May 1834 in the village of Chabaud, near Orcières, France, son of Etienne Bernard Reymond, farmer, and his wife Elizabeth Charrière, née Rond. After graduating bachelor of letters, in 1854 he became a professor at the College of Gap and taught English. In 1856 he met Augustus Nicolas, recently returned from the Californian and Victorian goldfields with stories of new lands and gold that made Reymond dissatisfied. In October 1856 he took a year's leave and with Nicolas went to Paris and London; in the Swiftsure they reached Melbourne early in March 1857. They had brought some general goods and made a half-hearted attempt to rent a shop, but the lure of the goldfields was too strong.
In 1857-62 they prospected at Emu Flat, Ararat, Great Western, Pleasant Creek (Stawell), Ballarat and at Chiltern where Reymond met Margaret Kerr and married her at Wahgunyah on 13 August 1861. When the Lachlan gold rush started they sold their payable claim and in June 1862 went to Forbes where they built a substantial sawmill and set up in partnership as sawmillers and general merchants. Soon the population fell from some 30,000 to about 500 and they made machines to cut shingles and felloes for markets in Orange and Bathurst. About 1865, with the rediscovery of gold at Forbes, they successfully grew hay and vegetables.
In 1866 Reymond took up a 320-acre (130 ha) selection on the Lachlan River near Forbes, which he named Champsaur. He moved his family there and in 1866-70 worked it of an evening after spending the day at the sawmill. Experiments in wheat-growing in 1866 decided Reymond and Nicolas to build a flour-mill as the nearest was eighty miles away at Orange; it was completed in 1873 and Reymond installed the first reticulated water system in Forbes. Trade became slack again, so they turned to building bridges, gaols and police barracks and worked as farmers, sawyers, engineers, contractors, millers, book-keepers, engine drivers, fruit-growers and vignerons. By 1875 they had established a second flour-mill and sawmill at Condobolin later taken over by Nicolas.
Reymond established a vineyard and a very large orchard at Champsaur. In 1886 he built a substantial wooden cellar and began the commercial production of wine that has continued to the present day. In its heyday the vineyard produced between 60,000 and 80,000 gallons (272,765 and 363,687 litres) a year. In 1895 Reymond wrote an article in Agricultural Gazette of New South Wales (July-December) on phylloxera. In 1875-84 he was an alderman of the Forbes Municipal Council and was mayor in 1883-84; he had many trees planted in the town and initiated the laying out of the botanical gardens. He was largely responsible for the town's first water supply when a weir across the Lachlan River was built for £117 in 1884. In June 1901 his partnership with Nicolas was dissolved; he carried on alone until J. B. Reymond and Sons Pty Ltd was incorporated in September 1909.
In 1895-1904 Reymond represented Ashburnham in the Legislative Assembly as an independent and was the only Frenchman elected to the New South Wales parliament. In 1900 he led a deputation to Sydney that resulted in the building of Forbes Hospital of which he was one of the three original trustees. He died on 20 September 1918 at his home, The Olives, South Forbes, and was buried in the Catholic cemetery. He was survived by four daughters and three sons. His second son, Ralph Etienne Bernard, became a solicitor in 1900, was mayor of Forbes in 1904-05 and 1906-07 and served on many local organizations.

The University of Massachusetts Amherst has embarked on a major solar energy initiative that will cut its electric bills by $6.2 million over 20 years and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of 31,000 non-metric tons of carbon dioxide.
At no upfront cost to itself, the university is installing 15,576 photovoltaic panels across campus to provide 5.5 megawatts (MW DC) of clean renewable electrical power at heavily discounted rates. The total annual generation from the new installations is estimated to equal the annual electrical energy use of 900 Massachusetts homes.
The eight solar panel installations – six on rooftops and two above existing asphalt parking lots – will be engineered and constructed by Brightergy, a national energy company with offices in Charlestown, Mass. Brightergy, through its partnership with Sol Systems, arranged for project finance, ownership and ongoing maintenance of the solar installations with ConEdison Solutions for up to 20 years. The university will buy all of the electricity from the $16 million project for direct use on campus through a power purchasing agreement. The installations will be completed by the end of 2016.

Cannabis drought as meth use rises
Annabelle Tukia

Methamphetamine use is back on the rise as the price of the illegal substance comes down.
The results are part of a survey of police detainees which also found there is now a cannabis drought.
Last year Chris Wilkins and his team interviewed 800 people in police custody, asking them about their drug usage.
"What we found was an increase in methamphetamine use amongst the police arrestees that we interviewed," he told Newshub.
Around 38 percent of the 800 interviewed said they'd used meth in the last year, up from 26 percent in 2010.
Mr Wilkins says the availability of the drug is increasing while the price has fallen, dropping $168 a gram in just two years.
Earlier this month, the Chief Coroner revealed that 20 people have died from using synthetic drugs this year.
Mr Wilkins says there's evidence a black market has emerged from the 2014 legal high ban.
"One of the interesting things is we found increasing synthetic cannabis dependence, increasing strength of synthetic cannabis," he said.
"There seems to be the effects of the development of this black market."
The Drug Foundation's Ross Bell says the report makes for some tough reading.
"We've got a whole lot of problems around a whole lot of different drugs and our approach clearly is not working," he told Newshub.
The Drug Foundation says synthetic cannabis appears to be replacing the use of natural cannabis, with usage down by 20 percent.
Many police detainees say there is a cannabis drought, especially in the South Island, with the drug now much harder to come by.
