Fishing for Lingcod and Seabass is outstanding and with a two Lingcod (no size restriction) and 7 Rockfish limit this fishery is second to none for angling action and take home fish.
If your out on your own and looking for some Lingcod I'd mooch whole blue label herring at the bottom. The key is to hit bottom and immediately wins the herring up about 15′, then back to the bottom, yo-yoing the bait up and down during the drift.
For the Rockfish we like to use shrimp flies and/or 5″ grubs in purple or brown. Meter the schools of fish over hard bottom and deploy your gear at the depth you see the marks. FYI Westport has live Anchovy now and those can help the Rockfish bite too.
Report submitted by Mark Coleman, All River and Saltwater Charters; 425-736-8920. The cover image of this week's fishing reports was also submitted by Coleman.
Halibut fishing has been pretty slow in the area. Ling are hit and miss, but certain out of the way places have been putting out keepers. Prawns have been easy to get when the tides are mellow. Always add more weight to your pots than you think you'll need. Weight heavy, bait heavy.
Sounds like the bag limit on Spot prawns will increase to 120 on June 1st in MA 7 West. As always check WDFW regulations and rule changes before you go.
Kelly had a good day on Prawns. Probably should clean that critter before you eat it sis.
Vicki and Carol enjoyed the beautiful Memorial Day weekend weather and got on some nice shrimp.
The salmon fishing in area 11 is currently closed and will reopen 6/1/17 however ling cod fishing is open through 6/15/17 and so far the ling cod fishing has been fair.
Learn Basic Fishing Youth/Adult June 17, 2017 Saturday 10 am to 12 noon Cost $15 (ages 8+). The Adult (Age 15+) is on May 27, 2017 from 10 am to 12 noon. Cost is $15 .
Like most of our state this Memorial weekend we had record temperatures here at Potholes. Wind was not existent but out on the lake and up in the dunes there were clouds of mosquitoes that were very hungry. These insects provide an endless meal for all fish here at Potholes. Sight fishing up in the dunes area found a good supply of hunger bass. Small mouth were to be found up in Linn Coulee and off the rock pile mid dam. On the sandy flats there are scattered rock piles holding small mouth in 15 to 20 feet of water. Fishing a drop shot with a Yamamato Senko or a Strike King dream shot plastic. A friend, Jeff Dillion, and his wife Cindy landed 74 smallmouth and all were released in that area. Up in the dunes was of working waters under 6 feet deep with larger forms of plastics and spotting cruising fish with good polarized sun glasses.
More Walleye are being found. The area is so vastin the dunes area so there is a lot of area to cover. The Crab Creek area is not so vast but I have heard the up by the power lines can be good. Up in the dunes area the Winchester area Walleye are being caught with several of the locals limiting daily. The lake is dropping fast with more solid ground showing up daily. There is still a lot of water coming into the lake.
Last week we saw some tougher fishing but it looks like things have perked up. We had some orca's move through the Gulf Islands which led to some slower than average fishing on the far side. Our local offshore fishery has continued to produce bites if you put in some time and effort. This time of year we are targeting moving fish so consistency and some patience is often the difference between fish and not. We have been having Luck with Gibbs Skinny G's(bon chovy, outfitter and Irish cream), and glow hootchies. With the colored water green and chartreuse flashers seem to be the most productive.
Our local fishery typically stays productive into the latter half of May. As we get into June our longer 10 hour trips really shine as we try to spend most of our time in the Gulf Islands if possible. This fishery will continue to produce fish into the early July and also offers the option of bottom fishing. With lots going on over the next couple of months, give us a shout to discuss your options for getting you on the water.
A few large we taken again past week and we hit 29lbs for the second week in a row which is great for this time of year. The fishing has not been fast and have often been coming in flurries followed by lulls. The afternoon has produced the large fish and it seems it has taken some time for the bit to come on—perfect for fisherman who don't like the early morning hours. There are still a few fish being taken at the Red Can, but most have moved out to South Bank which is about 5 miles out of the harbor. The weather has been getting much better and there are some halibut being taken more consistently though not in huge numbers. Chinook are biting on the small spoons mostly, but some of the larger Chinook are being taken on a splatter back hutchie.
We expect the halibut to start increasing in numbers this next week. We are also getting Lingcod and Yellow Eye so people are getting a great seafood basket.
Below are some pics from the past week!
If you are looking to come during summer months I would suggest booking your accommodation very soon or you can do one of our packages. This is the busiest summer I have seen for booking accommodation.
Chinook Salmon landed in Barkley Sound. Landed using anchovy in a chartreuse teaser head.
June has arrived with some very warm weather which has created a relatively heavy run off into the many rivers and streams. With the current warm weather the rivers in the area are very high. For the early returning salmon moving to the big watersheds to the south and also the various local areas the early migration flow has been very smooth and fantastic for conservation purposes. The long term forecast is for the weather pattern to be normal or above normal seasonal temperatures. For the many people coming to sport fish on the west coast in the month of June this is great news. The sport salmon fishing in Barkley Sound, the Bamfield area, and inshore and offshore Ucluelet has been relatively good. Many of the Chinook that have been either feeders or migrating salmon headed south or to the Fraser River are averaging eight to eighteen pounds. There have been a few clipped migratory salmon landed weighing from twenty to up to twenty-eight pounds. The Somass River has had some early Sockeye enter the system. These salmon are making their way to either Sproat or Great Central Lake where they will sit in deeper water until the fall. This is actually good news as Somass River Sockeye returns are not in abundance for the 2017 season. Numbers of returning Sockeye in pre season forecasts are very low. There is currently NO Sport Sockeye fishing in the Somass or Alberni Inlet for the 2017 season. There will be further and more current updates in later June and early July.
Over the last number of years we have witnessed some world class salmon fishing opportunities on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. The current 2017 season is forecasting some better than average Chinook and Coho returns to the various rivers and streams located on the West Coast and inland waters. This will definitely be a fantastic year to take opportunity and sport fish in the pristine and protected waters of the Port Alberni Inlet, Barkley Sound, and the more open water of inshore-offshore Ucluelet-Tofino especially from the last ten days of July through early September. Chinook and Coho salmon will definitely be returning to natal rivers in good numbers. The returning Chinook are forecast to be in the four to five year old class. With this in mind there should be great salmon fishing days in the 2017 season.
The sockeye salmon fishing consistently gets underway by mid June. However 2017 will be a very different year. The current forecast is reporting that two hundred thousand Somass River Sockeye will migrate their way back to the river system. These low numbers are not even close to what is needed for conservation levels. The Alberni Inlet will be very quiet in late June and July. Sockeye Sport fishing is a fun fishery for everyone. Updates will occur in later June and early July. If there are improvements and Sockeye numbers returning to the Somass become higher than the current guideline rules may change.
The Barkley Sound Salmon fishing has been what most guides and sport anglers would say as fair to good. Recently sport fishermen have often needed to be at the right spot at the right time. The Chinook salmon for the most part have been feeder springs and weigh on average eight to fifteen pounds. There have been some migratory Chinook coming in and feeding on the rich based resources of bait fish. Some of these migratory Chinook salmon have weighed from twenty to twenty-five pounds. In the earlier spring the Bamfield Wall, Kirby Point, Sanford and the Whistle Buoy were quite good. Lately the best fishing has been on the opposite shoreline from Pill Point all the way out to Cree Island. Cree and Austin Island locations are out on the surf line and the best fishing has been in tight to the rocky shoreline fishing in shallower water from thirty to sixty-five feet. Some anglers however have done better and have landed larger Chinook fishing in deeper water up to 120 feet. A couple of other hotspots in Barkley Sound have been Vernon Bay, Swale Rock, and the Bamfield Harbor mouth. In these locations the fish have been as deep as one hundred and forty-five feet. Small coyote spoons at the three or three and a half inch size have been working. Coho killers have also been an excellent choice for many fisher persons. Needle fish hootchies as they normally do during this time of the year in blue and green colors have been very good. Anchovy in a Ryhs Davis chartreuse teaser head, green haze, army truck glow, and purple haze have been the top producers. At this time of year one will always find the salmon where there are great quantities of bait. The biggest bait balls have been on the broken group shore lines. For those that prefer water that is protected Barkley Sound is the ideal fishing location as the east and west coast lines are protected from the prevailing winds and for the most part the water is calm and very flat. Barkley Sound will definitely have some fantastic salmon fishing during the upcoming summer months.
Chinook salmon landed in May outside of the Ucluelet Harbor on the Turtle Head. This fish hit a green nickel coyote spoon.
The fishing in Ucluelet has been very consistent during the spring. Of course weather can still play a major role in early June but generally the water is very fishable inshore and offshore as the weather patterns change. There are a good number of days where the wind and water is calm and flat. The first of the migratory fish have showed up on the outside water on the inner and outer south bank and up toward Long Beach. Inshore there is still a good number of feeder springs plus a few of the early clipped fish that are headed to the big watersheds to the South. The Ucluelet Harbor during the month of May around the Red Can has been very good.
The forecast in terms of returning salmon to the Columbia River and Puget Sound watersheds are expected to be a little better than average. The areas around the Ucluelet harbor producing Chinook have been Great Bear, Beg Island, Sail Rock and the Ucluelet Harbor Mouth. The salmon have been in deeper water and once again when the bait are in big schools there are good number of feeding salmon up to twenty pounds. The lighthouse Bank has also been good as has the turtle head and Long Beach. One of the best days over the past week saw four guided guests pick up eight Chinook averaging thirteen to twenty pounds fishing at one hundred and fifty feet or close to the bottom using needle fish hootchies which have been working very well during the spring. Small green glow and greennickel coyote spoons have also been good lure choices. The fishing on the west coast will only get better as we get into June and July. In August the Chinook and Coho as they make their way to their natal rivers will have put on a lot of weight as they feed on the rich resources of bait fish provided along Vancouver Island's illustrious coastline. The 2017 summer sport salmon fishing will definitely be a fantastic season and one to remember for many years.

Salmon fishing was FAIR this past week. Most of the salmon caught this past week were hatchery springs from 6 -10 lbs. That said, there were some larger springs, both clipped and unclipped around. A 23 lb clipped spring was taken by O'Brien Point. There have also been quite a few larger wild springs that had to be released. The best depths for trolling have been from 60 – 100 feet on the downrigger and the fish are closer to shore. The Trap Shack to Beechey Head was been the best area. More anglers are using bait now and are finding anchovies in glow teaser heads have been working best. Spoons, especially G-Force and Skinny G spoons, in No Bananas or Outfitters' colours have been very effective. For flashers, the Red Glow Hot Spot, Lemon Lime and Green/Glow Hot Spot.
Salmon fishing was HOT & COLD in Oak Bay. There are hatchery springs into the upper teens on the Flats but the fishing has been inconsistent. The salmon are feeding on needlefish and have been at depths from 65 to 140 feet, depending on where the feed is located. Most of the anglers have been either bottom bouncing or jigging close to the bottom. Good trolling lures have been Coho Killers, Bon Chovi or Outfitters Skinny G spoons or AP Tackleworks needlefish spoons. Sandlance lures and squirts (needle fish) are best in pearl, white & green, or white glow. Good jigging lures have been Point Wilson Darts and the Delta Mac Fish.
Halibut fishing was SLOW this past week. Most anglers that were fishing for halibut are using extra large herring, salmon bellies and/or octopus for bait. Also working well was the 8" Powerbait Grubs and Delta Hali Hawgs.
Pedder Bay Marina reports GOOD salmon fishing but nothing. The most productive area was from Whirl Bay to the Bedford Islands. It was slower inside Pedder Bay. Most anglers are still using artificial lures and trolling close to the bottom, but anchovies are also producing well. Spoons, especially G-Force, Skinny G and AP Tackle works spoons in Outfitters', Bon Chovy or No Bananas colours, have been very effective. Hootchies and squirts with a green and glow color combination have been good plastic baits to use. Anchovies were still working this past week. Good choices for teaser head colors are UV Green, Chartreuse, Bloody Nose and Purple Haze. Flashers that are popular include the Hot Spot Red/Glow, Lemon-Lime and Madi. Anglers jigging at the mouth of the bay and in the channel have been catching more salmon than those anglers trolling.
Halibut fishing was SLOW this past weekend. The biggest halibut of the weekend weighted 55 lbs. Most anglers that were fishing for halibut are using extra large herring, salmon bellies and/or octopus for bait. Also working well were the 8" Powerbait Grubs and Delta Hali Hawgs.
Salmon fishing was GOOD this past week. Los of springs have been caught from Pender Island to Sidney Spit. Jigging has been very effective in the more shallow spots while trollers are doing better in the deeper waters. Anglers using spoons found Coho Killers, Gibbs Needle G and AP Tackleworks needlefish spoons the most successful spoons this past weekend. Anchovies and Tiny Strip were also good producers of fish.
There has been a new fishing regulation put in place for the Sidney area starting May 8th. The daily limit is two (2) chinook salmon per day of which only one (1) chinook may be greater than 67 cm. The minimum size limit for chinook salmon in these waters is 62 cm.
The salmon fishing has been GOOD for springs. Most of the hatchery fish are running from 6 to 10 lbs in size but we've heard of some from 20 to 27 lbs. Also, some of the salmon are being caught at summertime depths (50-80 feet). The best fishing has been from the bluffs westward. More and more anglers are using bait, and anchovies are the most popular choice. Good choices for teaser head colors are UV Green, Chartreuse, Bloody Nose and Purple Haze. For flashers, you can't go wrong with a Super Betsey, Lemon/Lime or Bon Chovi Flasher. Hootchies in White, Glow/Green and Purple Haze have been effective recently. Many anglers are still using artificial lures and the Skinny G needlefish spoon in the No Bananas or Outfitters have been the most effective spoon.
Salmon fishing has been quite good. Chinook are averaging 12-20 pounds with a few larger fish in the mix. Limits are being achieved by most anglers. Needlefish hoochies and anchovies have been the best baits this week. Purple haze squirt with orange beads was working exceptional for us. The salmon are eating 3-5 inch immature rock fish that have an orange coloring to them. At Esperanza reef 70 feet all the way to bottom have been the best depths. Ling cod and bottom fish limits are being taken here while salmon fishing. We are allowed 3 rock fish and 3 ling cod per day so there is lots of freezers filling up. Halibut fishing is excellent as always. Salmon bellies and squid have been the best baits this past week. Good spots to try are the 8 mile pinnacles and 12 mile reef.
Dates are extremely limited and we only have a few spaces left for the entire summer. June 12-14, 15-17 then August 21-23 are our only open boats. I have an extreme special to fill our last 2 boats in June. Give me a call or drop me a line anytime to get info on our world class fishery.
Fishing was GOOD in most lakes for trout and bass.

What happens when a handsome Firefighter meets a gorgeous, independent and entrepreneurial woman? A dynamic duo! Brock and Jenelle celebrated their love in front of family and close friends on May 6, 2017, at the always stunning Terra Mia Vineyard on the westside of the Paso Robles Wine Region.
Brock and Jenelle met and fell in love almost immediately. Both are very strong people, who shared a close bond with their families, and together are incredibly charitable to their community. The couple's qualities were evident in their day as their guests were brought to happy tears as they watched their engagement video during the reception. While proposing, Brock had surprised Jenelle by hiding a tiny camera in the ring box, and caught her expression and her "YES" all on film. The Bride's Father, who works in the Entertainment industry, then surprised the couple with his own video- a message of congratulations by "The Princess Bride" star, Cary Elwes, who wished the couple a "Happy Mawidge".
Guests celebrated the couple and feasted on a delicious menu by Phil's Catering (including an amazing Mac & Cheese!). Then, enjoyed a wedding cake crafted by the bride's friend for her day.
Kramer Events Photographer, Patrick Ibarra, photographed the "joyous and loving" couple who could not wait to get back to the party and celebrate with their loved ones! Our DJ team shared that the event was one of their "Top 10" favorite weddings, as they ate, drank, and danced into the night at the gorgeous Terra Mia Vineyard!
Congratulations to Brock and Jenelle, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day!


RAAF Londonderry Telecommunications Unit - and the nearby "drop zone"
To provide air traffic control at the RAAF's Richmond base, a high frequency transmitter was established at Londonderry in the 1940s, which was upgraded in the 1950s with the onset of the Korean War and fighter jet aircraft, simultaneously pushing the civil HF transmitters to a new site at Llandilo. Whilst this site is sometimes referenced as a possible emergency landing strip I have found no firm evidence to that effect.
This is the current site as it appears on Google Maps in 2014. The RAAF has recently switched to a new, more remotely distributed communications system.
Also at Londonderry, to the west and south of the HF station is the "drop zone". Where the RAAF and presumably the Army practise dropping and catching things. Big things. Best stay clear.
For more HF radio adventures check out RAAF Bringelly. And DCA Llandilo. And RAAF Wallgrove.
Visit the full list of Sydney's airfields.
RAAF Bringelly Telecommunications Unit - and emergency landing ground?
I'll make a bold assumption here that the RAAF site at Bringelly was originally a dispersal airstrip, or possibly an "emergency landing ground"; although details of that airstrip remain sketchy. Was it built? Was it just a mown field?
Certainly it is now a telecommunications unit. Or rather was.
The full list of Sydney's airfields.
It's getting out of hand, I know.
We started with Penrith Speedway.
Then it was Jamison Park.
And Werrington or Brooklands (or 'Frogmore').
Well how about a Paceway?
Penrith Paceway, at Penrith Showground. It's been around since before 1943, that much I know. And there must be more to it than that. Yes, it's pacing, or harness racing. No, I don't know what that really means, I've only raced cars and push bikes.
Not 1 but 2 speedways. Or maybe 3. Or 4? More?
First of all, check out Penrith Speedway, the one in Belmore Park. The one with an airfield. Near Thornton Hall. Just north of the railway station.
Or how about this one: Brooklands. Make that 3.
But first, the background. As we know it. Or think we know it.
According to the Penrith City records the Western Suburbs Motor Cycle Club approached their local Member of Parliament, Sydney Smith, for the loan of some of his paddocks to hold a race meeting. Smith had quite a bit of land, having inherited Thornton Hall.
According to multiple records Penrith Speedway was opened on Smith's land in 1920. It was operated by Western Suburbs Motor Cycle Club. It closed in October 1930 because of flooding by Penrith's water supply, something that resulted in legal action by Smith against the Council. It was reopened in 1936 by Frank Arthur of Empire Speedways and ran until 1941 when the Army requisitioned the land. There was a war on, after all.
I'm not so sure Smith was the local member, though. There were 2 "Sydney Smiths", father and son, and whilst both were prominent citizens (the father in particular a serial administrator and politician) neither appears to have been "the local member", at least not at the date assumed. Sydney Snr had retired, for starters, passing away in 1934.
So Smith the elder was alive and living in Penrith at the right time, but he had seemingly retired from politics after that 1906 defeat. He had indeed been the local member (the MHR for Macquarie) up to 1906 but not after that date. So technically he was the former member, not "the local member" as umpteen websites suggest. Could it have been his cricket-playing son, instead?
Nope. Apparently not. He was big in the world of cricket administration though. Folow that biography link for more on that.
There's more on that historic Penrith speedway here. And here. And Library of NSW pics as well.
Meanwhile the Brooklands track was constructed - we think - by Victor Sutherland of "Frogmore", apparently up and running circa June 1923, catering for both cars and motor cycles. This site was on the eastern part of his property, at what is now known as University of Western Sydney, Werrington Park.
No, I can't be sure what - if anything - is left of that speedway.
I can't even be sure he owned "Frogmore". I believe his wife did, however.
What we do know is that in 1806, 600 acres ('Werrington North') was granted to Mary Putland, the daughter of Governor William Bligh. Mary married Maurice O'Connell (then Lt Colonel of Lachlan Macquarie's 73rd Regiment) in 1810, the Governor granting her an extra bonus of 1,055 acres (427ha, apparently named 'Coallee'; now a streetname - a 'Place' - in South Penrith) adjoining what we know to be Frogmore to the south. This grant brought Mary's total holdings to 3,000 acres (1,214ha). Lucky Mary.
The O'Connell's main farm holdings were at Riverston(e) but, being rather well off in the manner of these things, they didn't regularly live at either location. Whilst from about 1830 there were certainly house(s) on the site, the O'Connells were actually resident at Woolloomooloo, or abroad. From 1840 the O'Connell's son, Maurice Charles, and his wife Eliza, actually lived for some time on the Frogmore site. After Maurice's death, however, the site was sold off and subdivided in the 1850s.
Now this is where the Sutherlands come into it. Just. Parts of the subdivision were bought and reunited firstly by Caroline Sutherland c.1919, and then by an iron merchant, Alan Williams, in 1935.
Between 1919 and 1935 the Sutherland estate hosted diverse uses such as 'vineyard', 'racing track', 'golf course' and 'joy flight aerodrome'. Or did it? Just how many of these activities came to pass may be moot. And the property was in Caroline's name, not Victor's. Not that this was so unusual, of course, but may have been a complication later.
In any case it was Williams who named the "Frogmore" house 'Werrington Park', possibly after 'Werrington Park' in Cornwall, UK.
So Victor's vision is a bit blurred - but we can say for certain that he had plans and sought out investors but ultimately only delivered on part of his plan. It was his wife's untimely death that apparently scuttled the full deal.
Nevertheless it was a magnificent vision. Claimed (presumably by Sutherland and his supporters) to be the "best speedway in the Southern Hemisphere" it was described as a "1.5 mile high-speed banked track for cars and motorcycles". Check out Olympia Speedway, Maroubra, for comparison.
It's believed that a one mile (not the expected 1.5 mile?) oval concrete bowl was built but the rest of the venue was never finished. The vision for the complex included the speedway plus an aerodrome and sports fields. Events overtook Sutherland and the vision was never fulfilled.
Of course it doesn't end there. Over the years many racing tracks have come and gone, and today motor racing continues at the Nepean Raceway near Castlereagh. This track was begun in 1959, and today the circuit is owned by a consortium of about eight Sydney Motor Cycle Clubs. Again this is dirt bike racing on a short, tight circuit. I make that number 4 of this series of Penrith-area speedways.
Albion Park: the Illawarra's regional airport, south of Sydney. Albion Park airfield was built in 1941, about 18 kilometres south-east of Wollongong as an RAAF operational base.
Nearby Cordeaux airfield was constructed in late 1942 (near Cordeaux Dam, a strategic wartime target, being one of the dams supplying Sydney's drinking water) as a dispersal strip and landing ground (maintenance) for its parent RAAF Airfield, Albion Park.
The RAAF's Albion Park airfield consisted of two runways, 4500ft x 150ft and 6000ft x 150ft respectively.
Current airport operator (since 1960) is Shellharbour City Council. The primary runway today is 16/34, with a paved surface measuring 1,819 m × 30 m (5,968 ft × 98 ft). A displaced threshold reduces the available landing distance on runway 34 by 176 metres (577 ft), allowing aircraft to clear high terrain on the approach. The secondary runway 08/26 is suitable only for day operations as it is not equipped with runway lighting.
Sometimes things get mislabelled. This small block of land is an example.
That's "Lot 1 DP554845, Cooks Road", corner of Peat's Ridge Road, Calga. It has been described as a "small property owned by Airservices Australia" that includes "a meteorological station", an "electrical substation" and "a small shed".
Those towers look excessive for a met station, though. And strangely they are licensed for "radiodetermination", making them "navigational aids" in my book. ADS-B or NDB, if you like. As in "non-directional beacon".
Perhaps it has other, hidden, qualities. But it's not an "airport" or even an airfield. Lots of web sites will swear blind that it is, mind. Don't believe 'em.
If you ever wonder about what a particular tower (in Australia) is doing or who operates it, the ACMA website can tell you. Just click on the image below to vist ACMA.
Or check out my list of Sydney's airports and airfields.
What exactly are these parents, satellites and dispersal strips? Over the course of time my definitions have wavered and wandered, so here's what I think is a stable set of definitions, for now.
Operational Bases were created in the early part of the war on mainly little used civilian airfields. They were provided with facilities such as water, phone, stocks of fuel and ammunition, but were mostly not staffed with permanent RAAF ground crew. The term's usage seemed to change as the war progressed (but that's just my observation). Other related terms include "Maintenance (Repair and Salvage) aerodrome" and "Training Aerodrome". Camden was a training aerodrome.
A parent aerodrome is exactly what it sounds like. A major operational aerodrome with a number of satellite aerodromes or landing grounds attached. It is possible (with aerodromes, anyway) to have a parent field but no satellite "children", however. See also Schofields, Fleurs or Richmond.
A satellite aerodrome is a "child" of a parent aerodrome, normally a major operational airfield, and used primarily to relieve congestion in the circuit area (that's the airspace around the parent where for safety aircraft follow a predetermined approach and departure pattern or 'circuit'). Satellites may also provide other relief, including parking and at times servicing. Satellites and 'dispersal' airstrips can become confused, however at times the relationship was clearly set down. Pitt Town could be considered a satellite of Richmond, for example, or Menangle for Schofields.
Dispersal airstrips were attached to an Aircraft Depot, Aircraft Park or Operational Base, and consisted of landing ground with revetted (faced, embanked, walled) areas for open (but often camouflaged) storage of aircraft. This was a tactical method to disperse aircraft, thereby reducing the effect of enemy targeting a single aerodrome for air attack. Such strips were provided with the bare minimum of services and no permanent hangars or buildings. Cordeaux is a dispersal strip for Albion Park, for example.
An Emergency Landing Ground or ELG is an area of land, prepared and set aside for use by aircraft, but not on a regular basis. As you'd expect, it's for an emergency (engine out, low fuel, bad weather etc). These may be set in paddocks, for example, along strategic air routes. This would not preclude training activities such as "touch and goes" of course. As far as I can tell Tuggerah was such a field, although it may have been considered as or planned to be a satellite (of Fleurs) as well.
A Relief Landing Ground is an area of land which has been prepared for regular use by service aircraft. Again, ripe for confusion with dispersal and satellite airstrips. If I can think of an example I'll let you know.
An Aircraft Depot was an aerodrome where large numbers of aircraft were stored and maintained. In some cases the aircraft were used for training purposes. Bankstown may be an example (I await correction!). Bankstown was many things, an "air base" for the USAAF as well as an "air station" for the RN. It certainly housed many aircraft, some of which were unused, perhaps not even fully assembled at war's end.
An Aircraft Park was an aerodrome where large numbers of aircraft were parked, as in open storage. Such aircraft were used both for operational and training purposes. Menangle was an aircraft park for Schofields, for example. However it was also a dispersal airstrip.
As I wrote this I found overlap everywhere. Whilst some cases are neat and clear-cut, there are many other examples where airfield use became blurred by operational or training needs. Needs also changed as the war progressed.
In any case it's the best set of definitions I can muster right now.

Elvis Presley: Understanding the Successes, Contradictions of the Foremost Musical Icon
Author Prof. Ashoka Jahnavi Prasad 0 428
Elvis' mother-identification may have also been responsible for his popularity and the almost mystical experience of his concert presence. As a great all-powerful mother figure, Elvis could induce his fans to a religious-regressed state of infancy marked by hysterical ecstasy and a sense of identification with someone greater than oneself. Elvis' latent homosexuality also seems to have had a peculiar tinge of motherliness to it. His life is truly fertile ground for the psychopathographer. Elvis' compulsive drug use had its beginnings in his arrested object relations development analyses Ashoka, a practising psychiatrist, in an in-depth profile of the singer exclusively for Different Truths.
The last century has provided us a vast multitude of musical icons. But if one had to make a choice as to who would most deserve the appellation 'The King', for my generation there would be a near total consensus – Elvis!
It would perhaps be difficult for the present lot of youngsters to accurately fathom the popularity this icon enjoyed across the globe. His mansion Gracelands is one of the top tourist attractions in the United States and those who have had the good fortune of having visited it are engulfed with fascination.
He died a very premature death at the age of 42, in 1977, almost exactly 39 years ago. Every year thousands of his fans gather on his death anniversary, which falls on the 16th day of August to pay tribute to a phenomenon that had taken the world like a storm. There is also a large group of individuals who still refuse to accept that he is no more and 'Elvis sightings' is an active cottage industry that refuses to die down.
Given his popularity, which had acquired unprecedented stratospheric dimension, it is hardly surprising that professionals have made an effort to understand the man and what shaped his persona. Nearly four decades after his demise, this columnist is making an analytical effort to present the salient influences that gave us the one and the only true 'King' of the musical arena.
Elvis Aaron Presley was born to a poor white southern family. Elvis was the younger of a set of twins. His brother who preceded him by a few minutes was stillborn. Elvis' young parents were devastated by the loss of their first child and had not realised that there were two babies.
Consequently, Elvis' normal birth was greeted with much happiness.
By most accounts Elvis was well cared for and perhaps even spoiled. Although his family was poor, Elvis' parents, especially his mother, indulged him. Elvis grew up as a polite and respectful child.
Because of the Presley's poverty, the family lived in close proximity and Elvis shared a bed with his parents until his teens. Elvis remained close to his parents throughout his life.
According to Hammontree (1985), an often repeated part of the Elvis legend is his closeness to his parents. It is quite true that a strong bond existed among them. Vernon Presley stated after Elvis' death. "It is hard to describe the feelings Elvis, his mother, and I had for each other. The three of us formed our own private world"….This closeness was a powerful influence in Elvis' life.
Elvis was also close to his extended family and surrounded himself with family and friends throughout his life. In fact, Elvis generally preferred to stay at home surrounded by a retinue of family and friends rather than going into the world outside. This pattern of having 'gatherings' at his home began when Elvis was a young man and continued until his death.
Elvis did not stand out as a teenager or a young man with the exception of his clothes and hair. Later on Elvis' clothes, hairstyle and use of makeup would lend him some flair and distinction. Rather than seeking popularity or isolation at school, Elvis had his own group of friends with whom he spent time. He had picked up the guitar a few years earlier and enjoyed playing and singing for his family and friends.
Much of Elvis' interest in music can be traced to his family's involvement with a somewhat
charismatic church sect in which strong emotions would be experienced and expressed during the service. Music was an integral part of the church service. It is, therefore, not surprising to find that for Elvis, the expression of emotion was intimately related to music.
Elvis eventually got a chance to make a record. Due in part to talent, luck, and the marketability of a white singer who could successfully imitate black music. Elvis began a meteoric rise to stardom.
Off-stage Elvis was shy and withdrawn. Once on stage, however, Elvis became possessed by the emotion of the music resulting in the gyrations that were to become his trademark. An interesting aspect of Elvis' musical career was his association with his manager Tom Parker.
While Elvis was generally soft-spoken, generous, hard-working and respectful of those around him, Parker was "an obese, crude, cigar-smoking man" (Hammontree, 1985). It was reported that Parker hated music and musicians and was clearly in it only for the money.
Elvis, on the other hand, was fairly indifferent to money matters and somewhat of a musical perfectionist, concerned primarily with putting on a good show for his fans.
Elvis connected with audiences in such a way as to guarantee that their interaction became almost a mystical experience of oneness. No doubt Elvis' ability to communicate and bond with his fans accounts for his tremendous popularity. It is said that Elvis lived to perform and that audience contact recharged and invigorated him. It is strange, therefore, that for close to ten years, Elvis gave up live performances to make movies. From 1960 to 1970 Elvis made over 30 movies at an astonishing rate of 2-3 per year. At the end of this period Elvis returned to live performances, both in Las Vegas and on tour around the country (Cotten, 1985).
During the 1970's Elvis maintained his touring schedule. When he was not performing, he lived at Graceland with a large extended family made up of relations and a retinue of close friends. As Hammontree (1985) comments, "Elvis' intense need to surround himself with the familiar ironically contributed a destructive element to his life: he was too much insulated from reality…leading a kind of fantasy existence without financial or household worries of any kind. It is sometime during Elvis' 'fantasy existence' that he began to use drugs.
Although no exact date for the beginning of Elvis' drug use has been recorded it is possible to guess that his drug use probably became increasingly frequent throughout his career. Elvis had a paradoxical attitude towards drugs. He was strongly opposed to the use of illegal drugs.
Yet, at the same time, he compulsively used a wide variety of prescription drugs which included amphetamines, tranquilizers, and steroids."
Hammontree (1985) describes this split in Elvis' view of drugs: "An irony was Elvis' intense opposition to recreational drugs, often called 'street' drugs….He thought the use of recreational drugs despicable. When his stepbrother Rick Stanley became a heroin addict, Elvis expressed anger and frustration at Stanley's use of the drug. Stanley considered it astonishing that Elvis would take him to task, force him to enter a drug rehabilitation center to detoxify, while Elvis was at the same time daily taking large doses of tranquilizers, pain-killing drugs, and stimulants…Elvis rationalised his chemical dependence as acceptable because his drugs were all prescription drugs. In his view, taking prescription drugs bore no relationship to drug addiction, Elvis became very knowledgeable about the drugs he took and probably had a good intellectual understanding of the long-term side-effects of his drug use.
Nevertheless, this intellectual knowledge did nothing to reduce Elvis' drug consumption, although it no doubt served to give Elvis the illusion of control of his habit. Beginning in the 1970's, Elvis' health began to deteriorate. In addition to his physical weakening, Elvis also began to have less energy and to become emotionally detached. Although he was hospitalised a number of times, Elvis insisted on maintaining his exhausting touring schedule. It can be speculated that the worse Elvis felt, the more drugs he took to maintain his ability to perform.
Finally, on the morning of August 16, 1977, Elvis' body and perhaps his mind, could no longer stand the strain."
Elvis demonstrated many characteristics common to compulsive drug users. At first, it appears that Elvis' relatively stable family life and good relationship with his mother and father would
contraindicate the development of a drug habit. Closer scrutiny, however, reveals that Elvis may have suffered early object trauma. A little known fact is that Elvis' father was arrested and jailed on a check forgery charge when Elvis was three years old (Cotten, 1985). Elvis' father was in prison for three years during a crucial period in Elvis' development. Given the fact that Elvis was already regarded as special by his mother and pampered almost beyond the means of his family's modest income, the loss of his father during his infancy resulted in a strong identification with his mother.
Elvis' obvious latent homosexuality, evident from his use of makeup, clothes and intimacy with his closest male friends (whom Elvis kept around him at all times) are signs of his mother-identification. Elvis remained fixated at the separation-individuation stage of development.
While Elvis was driven to succeed and try new adventures, he worked diligently to maintain a constant emotional environment in which he was nurtured and cared for in every way. Like a small child who wanders away from its mother for a moment, only to run back and make sure she is still there, Elvis would strike out on tour, make movies, travel to Hawaii and then turn back to his familiar environment for support. Elvis brought this familiar environment with him at all times. At first it consisted of his parents. Later, after the death of his mother, Elvis surrounded himself with a retinue of male friends, family members and hanger-ons whose job it was to keep Elvis' emotional life stable and unchanging. Whether he was in Memphis, Hawaii, or Hollywood, Elvis was always in a situation which was controlled and stable.
The loss of his mother was an extreme blow to Elvis and it can be guessed that his drug use escalated after her death. Drugs came to play a role in the maintenance of a constant environment around Elvis in a more reliable way than his family and friends. The main advantage was that drugs (possibly along with musical performing) maintained Elvis' internal psychic environment, allowing Elvis to be in control of his affective states.
Elvis displayed primitive defenses such as splitting. His views on illegal and prescription drugs is a clear case as was his relationship with his manager Tom Parker. Elvis was also capable of demonstrating narcissistic rage, although he could not be deemed a true narcissist (Dodes, 1990). Elvis could very easily put himself into the position of the 'common man' and sought his approval. This attitude came out in his great effort to put on a good performance, even when it drove him to physical collapse. Elvis' concerts, and indeed much of his interaction with others often included the distribution of gifts. This gift distribution was reminiscent of Elvis' childhood which was marked by much gift-giving by his mother (Cotten, 1985).
Elvis' mother-identification may have also been responsible for his popularity and the almost mystical experience of his concert presence. As a great all-powerful mother figure, Elvis could induce his fans to a religious-regressed state of infancy marked by hysterical ecstasy and a sense of identification with someone greater than oneself. This is the same feeling an infant has towards its mother which Elvis was able to recreate over and over again for his fans. Elvis' sexuality also seems to have had a peculiar tinge of motherliness to it, being more related to inclusion in his extended family than phallic-narcissist penetration as seen in so many other rock stars.
Elvis' life is truly fertile ground for the psychopathographer. Although many other aspects of Elvis' life would make for an interesting psychoanalytic exploration, this would require another essay. It is enough to comment that Elvis' compulsive drug use had its beginnings in his arrested object relations development and that Elvis' object relations dynamics are similar to those of other compulsive drug users.

Dr. Kelly Foster is originally from Birmingham, Alabama. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Birmingham-Southern College and then from Auburn University as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. She joined Banfield Pet Hospital in 2011 and her areas of interest include ophthalmology. She has a golden retriever (Sam), a hound mix (Buster), and three cats (Schmitty da Kitty, Rufus, and Mattie). When not at work, Dr. Foster enjoys spending time with her husband Clay hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park or traveling to tropical beaches and jungles.
My guiding force in veterinary medicine is 'paying it forward'. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania with a great community of teachers and 4-H leaders that influenced me to keep pursuing my education. Their influence inspires me to want to give back to my community as they did.
Banfield empowers me to do just that. I can assist owners by treating their pet's illness. In addition, I can educate owners about how preventative care can improve the quality of life for their pet through our preventative care plans. In addition to working for Banfield, I volunteer both internationally and locally. In Nicaragua with Rural Area Veterinary Services and in Honduras with Equine Initiative, I care for working horses and teach veterinary students. In Denver, I volunteer with a spay/neuter clinic.
I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Colorado, Denver with a major in biology and a minor in physics focused on biomechanics. I studied veterinary medicine at the University of Edinburgh, giving me the opportunity to achieve accreditation by the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgery, the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council and the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education. When I am not at the clinic, I can be found mentoring 4-H youth back in my hometown or in Colorado. I also enjoy hiking, camping and playing fiddle.
Dr. Cano grew up in Washington State, graduating from Pacific Lutheran University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and later, from Washington State University School of Veterinary Medicine. He moved to Colorado to be with his fianc� and their family. Right now, they have a rat, Blitzen, but hope to adopt a dog soon! Dr. Cano is interested in surgery, population management, and preventative care. When he�s not with the Banfield team, he likes to be hunched over a good game of chess, play ukulele and sing, and kick things in Tae Kwon Do class.
Dr. Poad grew up in Chicago and completed her undergraduate at St. Louis University with a B.A. in biology. She then attended Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. She moved to Colorado after completing an externship with Banfield during her fourth year of veterinary school. She has a dog named Louis and two cats named Charles and Alex. Outside of working at Banfield, she enjoys hiking with Louis (and sometimes the cats!) as well as swimming and exploring new places in Denver.


'Mid shades that life and light deny.
We happy creatures of a day!
Some black with death—and some are white with woe.
Who send us forth?   Who takes us home again?
And there is sound of hymns of praise—to whom?
And curses—on whom curses?—snap the air.

Q: Maximizing $x^2y$ given $x^2+y^2=100$, without using the AM-GM inequality and calculus tools Problem says:

Let $x^2+y^2=100$, where $x,y>0$. For which ratio of $x$ to $y$, the value of $x^2y$ will be maximum?

I know these possible tools:

*

*AM-GM inequality

*Calculus tools

Here, I want to escape from all of the tools I mentioned above.
I will try to explain my attempts in the simplest sentences. (my english is not enough, unfortunately). I will not prove any strong theorem and also I'm not sure what I'm doing exactly matches the math, rigorously.

Solution I made:
First, it is not necessary to make these substitutions.  I'm just doing this to work with smaller numbers.
Let, $x=10m, ~y=10n$,
where $0<m<1,~ 0<n<1$, then we have
$$ x^2+y^2=100 \iff m^2+n^2=1$$
$$x^2y=1000m^2n$$
This means,
$$\max\left\{x^2y\right\}=10^3\max\left\{m^2n\right\}$$
$$m^2n=n(1-n^2)=n-n^3$$
Then suppose that,
$$\begin{align}\max\left\{n-n^3 \mid 0<n<1\right\}&=a, a>0&\end{align}$$
This implies
$$n-n^3-a≤0,~ \forall n\in\mathbb (0,1)$$
$$n^3-n+a≥0,~\forall n\in\mathbb (0,1)$$
Then, we observe that
$$\begin{align}n^3-n+a≥0, \forall n\in (0,1) ~ \text{and} ~ \forall n≥1\end{align}$$
This follows
$$ n^3-n+a≥0, ~ \forall n>0.$$

Using the last conclusion, I assume  that there exist $u,v>0$, such that

$$n^3-n+a=(n-u)^2(n+v)≥0.$$
If $n>0$, then the equality occurs, if and only if
$$n=u>0$$

Based on these, we have:
$$\begin{align}n^3-n+a= (n-u)^2(n+v)≥0 \end{align}$$
$$\begin{align}n^3-n+a = & n^3 - n^2(2u-v)+ n(u^2 - 2 u v ) + u^2v & \end{align}$$
$$\begin{align} \begin{cases} 2u-v=0 \\ u^2-2uv=-1 \\u^2v=a \\u,v>0 \end{cases} &\implies \begin{cases} v=2u \\ u^2-4u^2=-1 \\ 2u^3=a \\ u,v>0 \end{cases}\\
&\implies \begin{cases}  u=\frac{\sqrt 3}{3} \\ v=\frac{2\sqrt 3}{3}\\ a=2\left(\frac{\sqrt 3}{3} \right)^3=\frac{2\sqrt 3}{9} \end{cases} \end{align}$$
$$\begin{align}n^3-n+\frac{2\sqrt 3}{9} &=\left(n-\frac{\sqrt 3}{3} \right)^2\left(n+\frac{2\sqrt 3}{3}\right)≥0.&\end{align}$$
As a result, we deduce that
$$\begin{align}n-n^3-\frac{2\sqrt 3}{9} &=-\left(n-\frac{\sqrt 3}{3} \right)^2\left(n+\frac{2\sqrt 3}{3}\right)≤0, &\forall n\in (0,1).&\end{align}$$
$$\begin{align}\max\left\{n-n^3 \mid 0<n<1\right\}&=\frac{2\sqrt 3}{9}, ~ \text{at }~ n=\frac{\sqrt 3}{3}&\end{align}$$
Finally, we obtain
$$m=\sqrt{1-n^2}=\sqrt{1-\frac 13}=\frac{\sqrt 6}{3}$$
$$\frac xy=\frac mn=\sqrt 2.$$

Question:

*

*How much of the things I've done here are correct?

A: An alternative approach without calculus. Considering that $x^2y = \lambda$ and $x^2+y^2=10^2$ are analytic, at it's maximum, $x^2y$ should be tangent to $x^2+y^2=10^2$ then
$$
\frac{\lambda}{y}+y^2-10^2=0
$$
so, at tangency $y^3-10^2y+\lambda = (y-r_1)^2(y-r_2)$
Equating coefficients we have
$$
\cases{
r_1^2r_2 +\lambda = 0\\
r_1^2+2r_1r_2+10^2=0\\
2r_1+r_2 = 0
}
$$
now solving, we have
$$
\cases{
r_1 = \pm\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}\\
r_2 = \mp\frac{20}{\sqrt{3}}\\
\lambda = \frac{2000}{3\sqrt{3}}
}
$$
so the maximum is $\frac{2000}{3\sqrt{3}}$ and choosing $y^* = \frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}$ we have $x^* = 10\sqrt{\frac 23}$
Attached a plot showing in red $x^2+y^2=10^2$ and in black the level curves of $x^2y$

A: Your approach is good and the easiest way without calculus.

An Approach that Exposes the Core Ideas
The following approach is a slight modification of yours that simplifies the algebra using Vieta's formulas.
If
$$
x^2+y^2=100\tag1
$$
then
$$
\begin{align}
x^2y
&=100\cos^2(\theta)\cdot10\sin(\theta)\tag{2a}\\
&=1000\left(\sin(\theta)-\sin^3(\theta)\right)\tag{2b}
\end{align}
$$
So we wish to maximize $\sin(\theta)-\sin^3(\theta)$ for $0\lt\theta\lt\frac\pi2$ (since $x,y\gt0$). Suppose the maximum is $m$. Then your assumption/lemma says that $s-s^3-m=0$ has a double root. That is,
$$
s^3-s+m=(s-r)^2(s-q)\tag3
$$
Vieta's formulas say that for a monic cubic polynomial,
$$
\begin{align}
r+r+q&=0\tag{4a}\\
r^2+rq+rq&=-1\tag{4b}\\
r^2q&=-m\tag{4c}
\end{align}
$$
Explanation:
$\text{(4a)}$: the sum of the roots is the negative of the coefficient of $s^2$
$\text{(4b)}$: the sum of the pairwise products of the roots is the coefficient of $s$
$\text{(4c)}$: the product of the roots is the negative of the constant coefficient
Now things just fall into place:
$\text{(4a)}$ says that $q=-2r$
$\text{(4b)}$ says that $-3r^2=-1$, that is $r=\frac1{\sqrt3}$
$\text{(4c)}$ says that $-2r^3=-m$, that is $m=\frac2{3\sqrt3}$
Thus, the maximum of $s-s^3$ is $\frac2{3\sqrt3}$ which happens at $s=\frac1{\sqrt3}$, which is a value that $\sin(\theta)$ attains for $0\lt\theta\lt\frac\pi2$.
Thus, the maximum of $x^2y=1000\cdot\frac2{3\sqrt3}=\frac{2000}{3\sqrt3}$.

Senator Ben Hansen Statement on Helmet Law
Contact: Jacob Campbell
jcampbell@leg.ne.gov
Lincoln – Senator Ben Hansen released the following statement after introducing LB378 to allow operation of motorcycles without helmets.
"This isn't a Democrat or Republican issue that should be decided by politicians in Lincoln. This is a freedom issue," said Senator Hansen. "Motorcycle riders are smart, competent people. I would much rather leave the decision to wear a helmet to them, especially when that decision doesn't affect the lives of anyone else on the road. As a physician, I understand the risks, but I also believe that people have the freedom to make their own decisions without government telling them what to do."
The change would apply to persons over the age of 21 and would still require some form of eye protection.
Cosponsors of the bill include Senators Albrecht, Brewer, Clements, Dorn, Erdman, Friesen, Gragert, Groene, Halloran, Lowe, Murman, Slama, and Wishart.

Biorepositories Are Advancing Research About Rare Diseases: Q&A With Yaffa Rubinstein
By Biobanking Staff	10.16.2013
The Rare Diseases Human Biorepositories/Biospecimen (RD-HUB) is a searchable database of biospecimens collected, stored and distributed by biorepositories in the United States and around the world.
Recently, Yaffa Rubinstein, PhD, Director of Patient Resources for Clinical and Translational Research Office of Rare Diseases Research (ORDR) at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the National Institutes of Health, answered a few questions about RD-HUB and the research it is enabling.
Q: In the past, it has been difficult for researchers to make progress on rare diseases. What obstacles stood in their way?
Dr. Rubinstein: Yes, researchers have faced many challenges when studying rare diseases. First of all, rare diseases are . . . well, "rare." By definition, they have a low prevalence, and patients are scattered over large geographical areas. And unfortunately, out of the 7,000 rare diseases only a small fraction have patient registries, of which some are duplications of the same disease, others do not make data available for all investigators and many are established on different platforms using different terminology. This make it very difficult to share and exchange data and to develop studies in a meaningful way. There is a need to collect data from the various diseases into a large data base in a standardized manner to be available to all investigators to develop different studies, conduct clinical trials and do analyses within and across diseases. In addition, there are few clinicians with disease-specific expertise. There is a real need for global collaboration and data sharing.
Q: Is that kind of global change happening?
Dr. Rubinstein: Fortunately, it is. There is growing recognition that rare diseases represent a global public health issue. In April 2011 the European Commission launched the International Rare Disease Research Consortium (IRDiRC) in collaboration with the US National Institutes for Health (NIH) and other countries. One of the main goals of the IRDiRC is to develop drugs and therapies for 200 rare diseases by 2020.
Q: That's an ambitious goal!
Dr. Rubinstein: True, but we can achieve it given the technology that's available to us today and with increased levels of data sharing and collaboration. At The Office of Rare Diseases Research at NCATS/NIH we have initiated a program called the Global Rare Disease Patient Registry and Data Repository (GRDR), to create a resource of aggregated de-identified patient information from rare disease patient registries linked to biospecimens. The key is that the information will be collected and aggregated in a standardized manner using Common Data Elements (CDEs).
Once aggregated, this information will available to all investigators to develop many biomedical studies including clinical trials, translational research, comparative effectiveness research and analyses of data across many disorders. Ultimately, that will lead to drug developments and therapeutics for the millions of rare disease patients.
Q: What role does the RD-HUB play?
Dr. Rubinstein: The RD-HUB provides a centralized database of biorepositories and biological samples. The database includes all 7,000 rare diseases and each disease is linked to disease information at the Genetic and Rare Diseases (GARD) Information Center, which provides free access to timely, reliable information about genetic and rare diseases. The RD-HUB database serves as a portal for investigators searching for biospecimens and for biorepositories to enlist their resources and increase their awareness among the users. In conjunction with the GRDR program, where patients' data are coded and assigned with Global Unique Identifiers (GUID), investigators can search the RD-HUB by the GUID for patients whose medical data are stored in the GRDR. The link between the patient data and biospecimens is very important because it provides additional information and presents a more complete picture of the patient datathat is being used for the various biomedical studies.
Q: And technology is what makes this possible?
Dr. Rubinstein: Advances in data management and analytics are helping us combine information and look at it in new ways. Plus, biobanking technology allows us to collect, store and handle biospecimens that are essential for this kind of work in more effective ways. You need biospecimens – such as samples of blood, skin, hair, tissue, etc. – from the patient for research or to understand the pathogenesis and the biological nature of a rare disease. The biospecimens are necessary to develop a biomarker and develop genetic testing as a diagnostic tool that can help patients.
Q: That's the bottom-line: the patient.
Dr. Rubinstein: Exactly. The focus always has to be on how to help the patient. At RD-HUB, we want to accelerate research for rare disease patients, and with today's technology, we can. Many rare disease patients are children, and often their stories are heartbreaking. When you see the face of the patient, you understand what this research is all about.
Q: What is your advice to new biobanks and researchers new to the industry?
Dr. Rubinstein: Don't try to do it yourself. Reach out to people who have established biobanks before, because there are many lessons learned the first time around and fellow biobankers tend to be more than willing to provide advice. For instance, you need to think about the long-term future: Will you have the funding to sustain a permanent biobank? You need to collect, store and handle the samples. There are many regulations, ethical and legal issues that one needs to be familiar with. That's the sort of questions and information that experts can help you with.

Hupalupa, Hupalupu o Hupalupo (La Gomera ? - 1488-9?) va ser un guanxe que va participar en la Rebel·lió dels gomers de 1488, revolta dels habitants de l'illa de La Gomera contra el domini castellà. Pel que sembla exercia una funció unificadora entre els bàndols de l'illa i va voler advertir a Hernán Peraza "el Jove" que estava produint un descontentament entre els gomeros pels seus continus abusos i vexacions. En no atenir-se aquest a aquestes raons, es reuneix amb alguns caps de cantó i decideixen capturar Hernán Peraza, encara que aquest resulta mort en l'acció a les mans del pastor Hautacuperche. A aquesta acció van seguir fets terribles que encara perduren en la memòria popular de l'illa i que han quedat reflectits en textos històrics, com els del frare Juan Abreu Galindo () o els del clergue José de Viera y Clavijo (segle XVIII).

OSLO — On the outskirts of Oslo, a row of Fiat 500es imported from California stand parked in the snow outside the Buddy Electric dealership, part of a global flow of pre-owned electric cars to Norway powered by green subsidies elsewhere in the world.
The company's production manager, Tor Einar Hanssen, said it had sold about 110 in the past year and a half, making a small profit on the cars, most of which had been used for a few years by US leasing companies. "They're surprisingly good in cold weather," he said.
A gleaming blue Fiat 500e is on sale for 129,000 Norwegian crowns ($15,000) with 24,000 km (15,000 miles) on the clock. It costs about 20,000 crowns ($2,300) to import and adapt each Fiat, Hanssen said. On US used car websites, similar Fiats in California are advertised for about $10,000.
The government also exempts electric vehicles from taxes on traditional vehicles that are very high in a country, which does not have its own fossil fuel car industry to lobby against them. Rebates offered by other countries are another part of the equation.
They can also distort national goals for shifting from fossil fuels, although US exports to Norway of 4,232 used electric cars in the past two years are tiny compared with US sales. The state of California alone aims to have five million zero-emission vehicles on its roads by 2030.
Part of the reason is a bottleneck in new e-car imports. This is caused, to some extent, by incentives for carmakers to sell electric cars in the European Union, of which Norway is not a member, even if they are immediately exported to Norway.
Lundgren said there were no data yet to show if the rule change had made an impact. With just five million people, Norway bought 46,143 new battery electric cars in 2018, making it the biggest market in Europe ahead of Germany with 36,216 and France on 31,095, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association.

The Ghosts of Mariupol
"Is this darkness in you too?
Have you passed through this night?"
My aunt has switched into Ukrainian. When she found out that her cousins made it out of Mariupol into Crimea, she declared that they were no longer her relatives. I asked if it was possible that they were deported but received no answer.
105 days into the invasion, around 20 million Ukrainians been displaced: around 7.3 million have left the territory while the rest moved internally away from the conflict zones. When I visited in 2018, my uncle lamented that by then, around 4 million had departed, mostly as economic migrants like his own daughter, to Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, and otherwise westward. If we agree with Zizek that violence is a rupture that embodies something we cannot put into words, then war is an annihilating break in the very fabric of living. Reporters correctly note that this invasion has launched one of the largest migrations around the world, but what strikes me also is the gendered experience of war. Men die, women are displaced and trafficked, children are orphaned and stolen by the occupying force, soon to be indoctrinated into a new set of beliefs to be made into subjects of imperialist state power. The scale of this migration (half the population disrupted) and the leveling of the east by the Russian army is terrifying. Those who survived, will they ever return? How long will it take to clear Donbas, let alone to rebuild it?
When I asked my dad to explain what some of the weapons I saw in videos and Telegram pictures, we lamented at the range of weaponry deployed in this war. I am blessed to have been naive to this knowledge until now. "All the different ways to kill people — so much innovation in human history; it's the most profitable business," he said, and since then, I have been thinking about the connection between technological development and capitalism's death drive. This force beyond itself that consumes life to keep going. This is the true terror: one would think that technology would be developed to improve human life, to extend and ameliorate, but the drive for profit, that need for capital to circulate, requires that human life be fed into the great vortex, that sacrifices be made for some alien force, a truly awe-inspiring inhuman power that feeds on life. To what end and for what purpose? It costs to destroy a life, but who creates life? Who brings one forth, raises her, feeds her, cares and tends for the body, consoles and entertains, instructs and guides? The labour of women, the labour of communities re-creating more life to feed into the dehumanizing void of this amazing totality.
This is the ghost that hangs over Mariupol. This is the imprint of the new kind of authoritarian power that flattens in its wake. 700 millions dollars flows into the coffers of this state every single day, millions of families are asked to sacrifice their children for destruction, for an idea. It's the interconnectedness of it that escapes easy understanding, the interplay of systems that depend on each other. While one arm chops down, the other hands forward a solution to reduce the harm.
It is about these ghosts that I find myself dreaming, when I am not having night terrors. In these dreams, I suddenly discover connections to Mariupol about which I forgot, about a secret history and friends forgotten, who now appear only to die shortly. The facts overwhelm, but the meaning is hard to integrate: the news of 50–100 bodies being found per apartment tower, the bulldozing of the destroyed buildings along with the corpses inside them, the million animals dead through artillery, mines, and fires. Can one go back to the day before being marked by the sorrow of this knowledge? I was happy once, I think, but now I am transformed by this devastation and by the inability to do much about it. I feel my face deaden. How strange, to have the innocence of not knowing. The trauma of the media-rich environment: of seeing too much but knowing very little.

I-Team Exclusive: Rogue Renters, Part 1
Do you know who's living next door?
By Tisha Thompson and Rick Yarborough	• Published at 8:29 pm on April 26, 2012
Tonight, a NEWS4 I-Team undercover investigation into a growing problem that might be right in your own neighborhood.
Whether you're a landlord, renter or just a regular homeowner, it's an issue affecting us all.

The I-Team's Tisha Thompson investigates illegal boarding homes.
Producer: "Hey."
Amy Meinbresse: "How's it going."
Producer: "Amy?"
This woman is showing us a room for rent inside this Fairfax home.
Amy Meinbresse: "This is Tom Salvato."
Producer: "Derrell. Nice to meet you."
Using his middle name and wearing a hidden camera, our I-Team producer answered an ad on Craigslist.
Producer: "So, it's just $750?"
Amy Meinbresse: "Yup. And the $750 for security deposit."
"All utilities," the ad read. "Plenty of secure parking. No drama."
But a lot of drama is about to unfold.
"I'm Tisha Thompson with NEWS4. Can I talk to Tom or Amy?"
Because Amy Meinbresse and Tom Salvato didn't tell our producer one critical thing.
"They're being evicted."
Patrick Cooper owns the house. He rented it to the couple back in October.
"They appear very trustworthy for the first few months," Cooper says. "Suddenly it all changed around. They just stopped paying the rent."
Cooper says he then got a surprise.
A "Notice of Violation" from Fairfax County for "multiple occupancy" because too many people were living in the house, something Cooper says he didn't know.
Producer: "How many people live here?"
Amy Meinbresse: "Uh, maybe eight."
Producer: "Eight? So, there's eight bedrooms?"
Amy Meinbresse: "Yeah."
Producer: "It's a big house. Huge."
Amy Meinbresse: "Well, we make certain rooms into bedrooms."
Meinbresse goes room by room for our producer on the tour.
"He's a contractor. He's really neat. His name is Julian."
"This guy is Maximilian."
"This guy is Drew. He's an engineer."
"This guy Kelly is in the Army."
"There's two guys downstairs. Russell's here."
"Michael is down below Kelly's room."
"There's another girl here, Trish."
And with Amy and Tom, that makes nine. A full house and against the law in the county.
"If you have more than four unrelated persons in the house, you're in an illegal situation," says Fairfax County Board Supervisor Pat Herrity.
He says the county's received about 800 illegal boarding home complaints at last count, leading the government to create a strike team.
"There are health issues," Herrity explains. "There's zoning issues, there's building code issues. There are police issues. There are fire issues. The strike team pulls all those disciplines together to go address the problem."
Tisha Thompson: "We've been getting complaints that you guys are running an illegal boarding house."
Tom Salvato: "That's ridiculous. We have two people living here."
Tisha Thompson: "Here's the thing, you just showed the house to a guy..
Tom Salvato: "Right."
Tisha Thompson: "And Amy just told him that you have eight people living here right now."
Tom Salvato: "Well, we don't have eight people living here. So, she's speaking completely out of context. We have two people, one is moving out."
Tisha Thompson: "You're advertising the property, saying, 'Hey, come stay at our place on Craigslist. It's cheap. It's easy.' But we hear you guys are about to be evicted. So, you're showing places to folks?"
Tom Salvato: "We have been evicted."
After that interview, Meinbresse emailed us saying the eight people she referred to were her kids and just two renters.
But the government sent a violation notice that states the county also found at least nine unrelated people living in the house.
As you heard, Salvato and Meinbresse admit they're being evicted.
But we'll show you in our next report, eviction doesn't always solve the problem.
See why the county called the NEWS4 I-Team for help and how one legislator wants to change the law to protect everyone.

Debt Relief for Green and Inclusive Recovery

Our Proposal
Debt for Climate Opportunities in South Africa
Background Paper #5
The Role of Concessional Finance in Unlocking the Country's Energy Transition
By Emily Tyler, Celeste Renaud, and Adam Roff
South Africa's economy, which was already in a precarious state before Covid-2019, has been tipped into full blown crisis by the pandemic. Gross national government debt – at 63.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) in FY2019/20 – is expected to be upwards of 86% within two years. Eskom, which is the country's state-owned monopolistic and vertically integrated electricity utility, is a key driver of this escalating debt profile and lies at the heart of the economy's structural challenges.
Eskom is facing unprecedented financial, operational, and technological challenges, including: a failing coal fleet (which generates 85% of its electricity); a carbon and local pollutant profile that is rapidly becoming intolerable to society; an outdated sector model; constraining policy and regulatory environments; revenue shortfalls and the early stages of a utility death spiral; together with a ballooning debt burden of R480 billion (US$27.9bn). In total, 77.2% of this debt is government-guaranteed, and a significant portion is stranded and cannot be serviced.
Over the next three years, Eskom's projected debt maturity profile will total R224 billion (US$13bn), but accessing funding to refinance maturing debt is increasingly difficult. South Africa's National Treasury has committed to a 10-year bailout programme totalling R230 billion (US$13.4bn) to assist. If this is removed due to fiscal affordability, Eskom's debt will be immediately unserviceable. As shareholder and guarantor, Eskom's risk profile is automatically transferred to the sovereign, impacting the sovereign credit rating and increasing South Africa's borrowing costs.
Simultaneously, South Africa has a significant and immediate opportunity to pivot its carbon-intensive power sector towards low-carbon energy. Work by Meridian Economics and the Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research finds that cost is no longer a barrier to decreasing the carbon emissions of South Africa's electricity system by up to 1.5 gigatons (Gt) through an ambitious renewables rollout. A strategically managed, ambitious renewables rollout will trigger large-scale green industrialisation, providing a sustainable economic stimulus for South Africa's ailing economy.
Although such a build programme is commercially financeable, given the country's superior renewables resources and mature financing sector, the lack of a credible and clear vision and policy commitment for the electricity sector – together with a stable market and system operator (product of an unbundled Eskom) – are constraining the realisation of this opportunity.
An important political aspect of the South African electricity crisis is the need for a just transition away from coal. Most of South Africa's coal mining and power-related activities are concentrated in Mpumalanga province, which hosts 12 of Eskom's 15 power stations and a large share of the country's coal mines. This has a severe impact on air quality and the health of local populations, but a transition from coal will result in significant disruption in Mpumalanga, putting livelihoods at stake.
There is a need to support the retraining and retiring of the coal workforce, together with the creation of alternative employment
opportunities in the Mpumalanga area. An ambitious rollout of renewables creates the foundation for this just transition. The targeted localisation of renewable energy industrial activities and a portion of renewable energy build can feasibly be managed for Mpumalanga, supporting the absorption of workers from the declining coal industry and stimulating opportunities in value-chain activities related to a new, greener local economy. In addition, a just transition enhances the local environmental and health benefits of phasing out coal-fired power.

Wake Forest quarterback announces transfer to Notre Dame
Post author By J.J. Post
No Comments on Wake Forest quarterback announces transfer to Notre Dame
Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman announced Thursday afternoon he'd be transferring to Notre Dame for the 2023 football season.
Hartman coming to South Bend represents a home-run addition for offensive coordinator Tommy Rees and the Irish heading into the spring period. Widely regarded as the best quarterback in the portal, Hartman spent the last five years building one of the most impressive quarterback resumes in the country at Wake Forest.
The stats of the Charlotte, North Carolina native are as gaudy as they come. He is the all-time ACC leader in career touchdown passes with 110; he's thrown for 12,967 career yards, 3,701 of which came in 2022; and his production with his legs isn't too shabby, either, with 856 career rushing yards and 17 total touchdowns on the ground.
Perhaps most promising for the Irish is his completion percentage in 2022: 63.1%, a career-best mark up from 58% the last two seasons. He helped lead Wake Forest — who totaled a 25-37 record in the five years before he arrived — to a 38-24 mark during his five years as starter.
The decision to take an additional year at Notre Dame makes sense for both parties. The Irish already lost 2022 signal caller Drew Pyne in the transfer portal to Arizona State. They seemingly have decided to go in a different direction than last season's offense, which leaned heavily on the run to the point of being predictable.
Hartman is a dynamic quarterback who can hit deep shots and force defenses to respect Notre Dame's passing attack. And from Hartman's perspective, despite all his statistical prowess, a move to the Irish provides a chance to boost his ever-growing draft stock. Scouts are no doubt interested in seeing Hartman's production outside of Wake Forest's unique slow mesh offensive style, and a move to Notre Dame gives him the chance to prove himself both under a national spotlight as well as in a more conventional offensive system.
The move also creates an interesting timeline for Notre Dame's quarterback room going forward. While it's unlikely Marcus Freeman officially names Hartman starter anytime soon, you don't bring in the all-time ACC leader in passing touchdowns to compete in a quarterback battle. Barring an unlikely sequence of events, Hartman will be under center for the first Irish snaps of the 2023 season against Navy in Dublin, Ireland.
As such, Tyler Buchner's window to start is likely pushed back another year. The MVP of the Gator Bowl just a week ago lost much of his 2022 campaign to injury, but showed plenty of promise and potential in his return in Jacksonville, Florida.
But even in 2024, Buchner's starting status might be far from a guarantee. Kenny Minchey was a late addition to the 2023 recruiting class who holds high four-star status himself. He'll have a chance to make an impression and a case to be a future starter as soon as this spring as an early enrollee. Further muddying the picture will be the enrollment of would-be freshman CJ Carr, the early headliner of Freeman's 2024 class. Carr could potentially end up as the first five-star quarterback Notre Dame has signed since Gunner Kiel in 2012.
But Rees and Freeman no doubt are willing to sort out that potential logjam further down the line if it means having Hartman under center this fall. And above all else, it's a good problem to have. In the short term, Notre Dame gets an immediate star at a key position of need who changes the team's floor and ceiling for next season. And down the line, they're slated to have no less than four (can't write off Steve Angeli, either) four-star or higher quarterbacks that can compete for the starting job when Hartman leaves.
Depth is a bulletproof vest in college football. The best way to protect against injury-related production drop-offs is to have every backup be a player who's already starter quality. The Irish are currently set to have just that at the quarterback position going down the line.

"That's why we named him the starter": Buchner ushers in new era against the Buckeyes

No Comments on "That's why we named him the starter": Buchner ushers in new era against the Buckeyes

When he was first signed at Notre Dame, quarterback Tyler Buchner's talent was lauded as the saving grace that would replace the stability that Ian Book brought to the Irish football program during his time in the position. When the former QB1 had played out his eligibility after having been the starter for three years, questions immediately arose about who would — and could — fill that position. Enter Buchner, a fellow Californian, four-star recruit that seemed ready to step into the role.
That was until graduate transfer Jack Coan entered the mix, unleashing the quarterback battle that ensued during the 2021-2022 season. With the position shifting between Buchner, Coan and junior Drew Pyne, the once straight path for the sophomore blurred slightly. But despite any uncertainty and doubt, it seems Buchner has won out and has become the sole man for the job.
That same uncertainty and doubt, however, followed Buchner into this season opener. After a year of experiencing several different quarterback combinations — often multiple in a single game — having a starter preestablished in fall camp was a shocking reality for Irish fans. Especially when it was one who did not play in the spring Blue and Gold game due to injury. Yet in the season opener, in his first game fully at the helm, Buchner has proven that although he may not yet be perfect in the position, he has great capacity to be.
Buchner exhibited both his run and pass game against the Buckeyes; he racked up 177 passing yards and a net 18 yards in rushing, nearly as much as sophomore running back — and sole touchdown scorer — Audric Estime's 21 yards. He did so without a turnover, as head coach Marcus Freemen noted in his post-game press conference, which cannot be said for Coan's or Book's first games as starters for the Irish.
"I'm pleased with him," Freeman said. "But the biggest thing I'm pleased with is zero turnovers."
Aside from starting out on an even better foot than his predecessors, Buchner also had to adapt to the changing landscape on the field, shifting from the original idea to run both the ball and the clock, as Freeman said was their game plan heading into Saturday night. When his passing game was instead called upon, Buchner was able to capitalize on several opportunities for yardage gain, despite throwing some incomplete passes.
In response to these mistakes, Buchner emphasized that it is the small facets of the game that eventually add up to how well a player or team performs.
"At the end of the day, it sort of comes down to execution and, you know, the little things," Buchner said. "We didn't do little things at the level of which, you know, the standard at which we hold ourselves to."
In terms of execution, Buchner being a first-time quarterback was cause for concern, as he enters this new role in a highly anticipated matchup against one of the top teams in the country. However, Freeman noted that his adaptability and confidence prevented the moment from overwhelming him and instead, he rose to the challenge.
"That's why we named him the starter," Freeman said.
He demonstrated these qualities from the opening drive of the game, which ended in a field goal attempt that put the Irish on the board first. His rocket pass to sophomore receiver Lorenzo Styles Jr. set the tone for what could be under Buchner's leadership.
This confidence, Buchner said, is bolstered by his teammates. After having gone eight for eight at the start of the game, he noted how the offense was starting to gel based on their trust in each other and their abilities.
"Luckily, I've got a great support staff around me. Awesome teammates," Buchner said. "They played really well. And so you know, having the confidence that, you know, the guys around me are going to execute and do their job well certainly helped."
Buchner also acknowledged his equal responsibility in this system. When asked about the offensive line, Buchner said that it is his job to be in the correct protection, too. This rapport Buchner has with his offense gives Freeman high hopes for the quarterback's future at Notre Dame.
"He's going to be a really great football player and a great leader for us," Freeman said.
