2019 Dodge Dakota Redesign and Price Canada – New Model 2019 Dodge Dakota, which is the third era of the Dodge Auto. Because of the low demand for its antecedent model, the organization opted to stop a later generation. Fortunately, the Dodge starts downloading his new vehicle with the new model. This new Dakota show is fixed on model 2019. The organization's market to focus on, is the right sized pickup truck.
The outside of this car will be a unibody stage. The model of this car will be practically the same as the model created by Honda Filo. The contour of this car is something heavier and heavier than the last model. The fronts of this car, which are the grill and the headlights, will make it more streamlined. Similarly, 2019 Dodge Dakota also alludes to the safety and stability of travelers, so the exterior of this car is also destined to improve well-being and reliability.
The download date for this car will be the last quarter of 2018, in light of the fact that this car is model 2019. The cost of this Dodge Dakota 2019 will be around $25,000 for the fundamental model, while equipped with a higher cost show it cost twice.

When Should You Schedule a Vehicle Inspection?
Is it time to schedule a vehicle safety inspection for your automobile? This is a very important inspection that keeps your car running smoothly, repair needs down, and the car running for a longer period of time. But, when do you need to schedule a maryland vehicle safety inspection?
Refer to the owner's manual included with your vehicle to learn when it is time to schedule an inspection with the professionals. Although the timeframes slightly differ from some models, must adhere to a 15,000, 30,000, and 60,000 mile service schedule. It is important to have these inspections because you don't want to be stranded on the side of the road.
What happens during a vehicle safety inspection? The auto repair technician will inspect the vehicle underneath the hood and the tires and other components. He is looking for wear and tear and other signs of damage that may cause vehicle breakdown. You should also have the oil changed at this inspection.
The oil is important to keep changed every 3,000 miles because it protects the engine from wear and tear and breakdown. Bad motor oil can not only cause difficult driving, but also cause trouble when it is time to keep the vehicle on the road in the future. You deserve the longest lifetime with your vehicle.
Costs of a vehicle inspection should be the last of your worries. Although you must pay the auto repair tech for this service, the rates aren't as expensive as you'd think. Plus, it is much less expensive than repairing the problem later down the road. It is easy to get quotes and compare prices to ensure that you find the best deals.

Pox Americana Book Review - Argumentative Essays Topics Examples
Pox Americana Book Review
Pox Americana is a book by Elizabeth Fenn where she writes about small pox, its effects and spread across the North American continent. Small Pox was a very dangerous disease at that time. She describes small pox as the deadliest disease to have attacked the world. In her book, she writes about how she came face to face with the disease in the 1770s and 1780s.
Fenn uses the book to explain and even play an informatory role by explaining to people just what small pox was and its effects. Fenn believed that small pox was indeed the deadliest disease in the entire world.
She argues that the small pox outbreak affected America and humanity so badly that it could have actually changed or shaped history. The mortality rates were particularly high among Native Americans and Indians because they did not have prior experience with the disease and therefore lacked natural immunity. European invaders on the other hand are reported in the book to have got off more easily because they had prior exposure and some had lifetime immunity.
Fenn generally props up small pox as the deadliest disease in the world not even mentioning cancer and other known and more common killer diseases. In her book, Fenn explicitly looks at small pox, its effects and how its spread across America between 1775 and 1782.
Pox Americana as written by Fenn seeks to make it known to the reader the deadly impact small pox had on America. It affected thousands of Americans, Indians and even the invading Europeans in a way that left a stream of deaths that cannot be forgotten. Fenn details the characteristics of the deadly disease (small pox) in terms of outbreaks, infectiousness and severity.
Ms Fenn stresses how serious small pox was by pointing out that from the fourteen nineties to seventeen seventies as many as 23 small pox epidemics hit the North American continent. This was obviously a disturbing revelation. It was not until much later that the masters learned to quarantine the infected persons and prevent them from spreading the then deadly disease.
It was later discovered that cutting the skin and rubbing in matter obtained from the Variola virus, from persons who showed mild symptoms, could actually boost immunity to the destructive virus. This went a long way in curbing the then common deaths and gave some hope to the ailing that they could recover. Before this revelation, all the sick were abandoned by their relatives for fear of infection because they under the impression that their sick could never get better.
There are a couple of thoughts that Fenn brings out that are highly contested. One of the most heavily contested thoughts is that she describes small pox as the most dangerous or deadliest disease in the world. Critics argue that there are many other diseases in the world that affect people even more commonly than small pox which were not mentioned in the book. More common diseases like cancer, common cold and malaria were not mentioned as she talked about her supposed 'deadliest disease' in the world in pox Americana.
It has also been argued that the numbers given in the book about how many people actually died were not confirmed anywhere. All the facts used by Fenn were not referenced or proven. Even Fenn herself was very frank about her methods terming them as speculative. The figures and charts used to show the mortality were therefore widely believed to be inaccurate and exaggerated.
Ms Fenn's sources were mainly journal entries, testimonies; media report photos, some history records and mortality rate charts. These sources were however not properly backed up and Ms Fenn does not state anywhere in her text that they are indeed accurate
Ms Fenn first had her attention drawn to small pox when she was researching on an undergraduate essay on Indians in the Hudson Bay fur trade. It is then that she discovered the recurrence of small pox. The Horseman on the Roof by Jean Giono, is what inspired her to want to know more about small pox.
Ms Fenn then decided to try and revisit the small pox outbreaks and the grave effects they had on the North American population. She was to later learn that these epidemics occurred during the time of the American Revolution. Memories of small pox encounters were therefore more blurred because all this happened during a very defining moment in history; the American Revolution. However unnoticed these epidemics seemed, Ms Fenn found out that indeed these epidemics might have actually influenced history.
The small pox strategy during Washington's invasion of Canada was abandoned when it emerged that it would have had a damaging effect on black slaves who had been nurtured by Britons to fight colonists. The blacks had no immunity because they did not have previous exposure and would have been devastated by the disease. If small pox had been used in that strife, then history would have been very different now because the entire black unit would have probably been wiped out in an unimaginable disaster.
It has been tricky to make any solid inferences on whether the American Revolution would have turned out any differently than it did because most of what small pox is seen to have stopped continually appears to have been inevitable anyway. It was however still quite a story to tell because Ms Fenn brings out some otherwise unappreciated facts about the nations founding fathers; they used humane methods to hold the armies together.
During the war for independence for instance, George Washington decided to have new army recruits inoculated. This is seen by Fenn to have been a very important and humane decision because it probably saved thousands of soldiers and the public population who were inevitably in contact with the soldiers on the move. The virus however eventually caught up with the war and Fenn writes, "It executed an even more stunning maneuver and outflanked the war itself." (Fenn, 2001)
Ms Fenns story becomes even more compelling when she makes us realize that that was not the first time small pox had haunted us yet it still wreaked havoc each time it did. The readers, who include politicians and leaders, would therefore be a little more prepared to deal with another outbreak be it to civilians or in military action.
She reveals very important information on how the masters learned how to deal with small pox using tissue from patients showing mild symptoms. It is this very method that eventually developed and used to completely stamp out small pox years later.With regard to this subject, it can be safely concluded that Fenn brought out an aspect of history that would have otherwise never seen the light of day.
The 1775 to 1782 epidemic is yet another strong point by Fenn. She devotes about half of her text to the diseases' trail of death all the way from Mexico, Canada, and Hudson Bay region up to Alaska. This kind of trace entailed a strong zest for knowledge, discovery and as Fenn Puts it "studying events elsewhere on the continent which highlights the geographic and demographic gaps in our historical canon." (Fenn, 2001).
This kind of dedication and hard work is what really shows just how much this kind of contribution is important to society and other scholarly disciplines like History, Social Ethics and Medicine. Ms Fenn clearly understands that interdisciplinary research is the future of the world and goes ahead to pioneer in that respect. Historians, Medics, Politicians and philanthropists a like refer to her text for research and reflection purposes to date.
Ms Fenn also presents focus on the disease all through the lands, who spread it and how they spread it. Fenn reckons that the use of new weaponry including horses and other techniques introduced by Europeans could have enhanced the spread of small pox. Indians would carry the virus from their Great Plains residence, for instance, and spread it all over the places they travelled while trading, fighting or just horse riding.
Residents of the Great Plains are expressed to have done most of the spreading bit in the 1775 to 1782 epidemic. She does not however put blame on them but rather blames the increased interaction between the natives, Europeans and other traders. Colonization and missionary work further increased interaction between foreigners and the natives who had very limited or no knowledge at all of small pox.
Ms Fenn observed the diseases' route right into the pacific North West while trying to establish the original 'culprits' who brought the disease to North America. Russian fur traders and Spanish explorers had visited and interacted with the native North Americans but at that time there were no reported cases of small pox; it is therefore unlikely that they brought in the disease.
Fenn also rules out the thought that mariners might have conspired to release variola to 'finish' the people after they had left. She fails to detect any signs of epidemics in their native ports and concludes that they could not possibly be the source of small pox. Establishing who might have brought or probably developed small pox was evidently a hard task. Fenn used all kind of methods to narrow down the list of 'culprits' although she did not for sure credibly establish who transmitted it to North America.
Although widely believed to be inspired by public awareness on killer diseases like breast cancer and AIDS, researchers would have easily been inspired be Pox Americana to research more on epidemics that rocked the world in the past.
Diseases introduced by invaders or native diseases have wiped out almost all the non-indigenous populations. European invaders introduced fatal viruses while visiting missionaries in Africa, for example, were badly hit by tropical diseases like malaria. Military camps were more adversely affected by small pox because they were very crowded and offered easy means of transmitting the highly communicable disease.
In the book, Fenn does not imply a bed of roses for the native North Americans when invaders from Europe came in, but instead focuses on the bigger picture and doesn't even mention how British commanders attempted to start biological wars by trying to intentionally spread small pox. This would have been a very interesting and important subject especially at this time in history. Biological warfare is still controversial to date and this would have been a definite topic for fierce debate.
It is not clear in her text if there is any connection between the small pox outbreaks in the north and those experienced in the south and other parts of the American continent .She also does not touch on any trends in the outbreaks or infection rates in her text. It would then seem that maybe these outbursts had no relationship whatsoever or maybe she did not have enough knowledge and resources to trace the disease trends in order to report on this particular subject.
From the text as presented by Fenn, it surely can be concluded that small pox must have taken some part in how the American Revolution turned out. All these occurrences and the epidemic outbreaks that broke out before, during and after wars must have a changed something in history which would have definitely been otherwise written in the event that these outbreaks were absent.
Events such as deaths from small pox that wiped out entire wars even after the end of the wars must have had a significant impact on civilization and today's world. The ethics and morals displayed by the military leaders also brought out rich history in the text. Fenn therefore did a great job in not only reminding her readers of how much small pox terrorized the world but also sensitized researchers and historians on past and present epidemics.

Cree fashion designer Tracey George Heese showed her clothing line, Timeless Shadows, during the recent National Aboriginal Fashion Week events held in Regina on June 21, 2012. Her collection included dresses, tops, and menswear.
Heese has over 30 years of sewing experience under her belt, and over the years she has created garments for professionals, dignitaries, powwow dancers, cowboys, First Nations Royalty, and even Her Royal Highness Princess Ann.
In a recent interview, Heese remarked, "A lot of the clothing that I sell is based in Aboriginal appreciation; but you don't have to be Aboriginal to buy it. It's contemporary, but it draws on the history and culture of our First Nations people."


Anyone who is experiencing the issue of hair loss headed towards the hair transplant clinics to get the surgery done if the causative factor is a genetic one! But, it doesn't mean that only genetic caused hair loss needs the hair transplant and the rest of the factor is only solved by the medications. As a matter of fact, the hair transplant surgery can opt for all those cases by which a person's looks or personality is affected and one's need it not only to regain the natural hair but also resume the aesthetic look back. Therefore, it is a well- understood fact that hair transplant procedure is a final option to get back the original and permanent hair roots that remain forever on the scalp. So, it is the recommended decision to receive the hair transplant surgery in order to get back the natural look and beauty.
The best hair transplant surgeon should pick if you wish to get the best results and thus both online, as well as the offline research, is done by the prospective hair transplant patients.
The procedure of hair transplant is a simple plastic & cosmetic surgery that is required to get over the issue of hair loss. Since it is done by both the aesthetic as well as the surgical process, known as the aesthetic cosmetic surgery requires an extreme artistic skill and surgical understanding to perform it in a good manner. The hair transplant surgery involves the transferring process of hair roots/grafts that are performed between the donor as well as the recipient balding part of the scalp. The donor area is what that contains the DHT-resistant hair roots that never shows the effect of the miniaturization and loss and thus primarily used in the surgery to fulfil the implantation need of the surgery. The surgical extraction in the procedure that facilitates the option of obtaining the hair roots are done, either by the FUT technique or through the FUE method for the extraction, but which one is suitable in your particular case of baldness is defined only after the pre-procedure consultation given by the hair surgeons.
The Expert Hair Transplant Surgery: It is needed to receive the surgery only from the expert surgeon who has both the artistic as well as the surgical proficiency in terms of deciding every aspect suitable to plan the procedure and meet the end goal in terms of aesthetic challenge in the surgery. The surgeon must possess the MS, M Ch degree and vast experience in providing the quality result with different cases and patients. There won't be a boundary for the hair anatomy and structure possess by the patient of different geographical location as the expert surgeons have very well understood for opting the technique that meets the aesthetic goal and helps in accepting the challenge of the cosmetic surgeries.
The Right Technique of Hair Transplant: In order to get the best result in the hair transplant surgery, it is needed to opt for the right technique and thus choosing the technique to fulfil the surgical procedure is the core responsibility of the hair surgeon. There are two techniques in the hair transplant procedure, i.e., the FUT as well as the FUE technique that is performed on the basis of a patient's state of baldness, available donor areas as well as the type of baldness. However, choosing the technique in the procedure is one of the determinative tasks that are made by the surgeon.
The Artistic Hand of the Surgeon: The artistic sense and mind is a prerequisite in the hair transplant surgery that decides the overall success of the procedure. No matter what number of grafts has been excised in the procedure as it all depends on the available donor area as well as the practised technique during the procedure, but the practise of implanting the hair roots do matter in the procedure by implanting in an irregular order to show the natural result. This is the surgeon's core responsibility to perform the surgery with an extreme artistic sense while placing every root in a zigzag fashion, especially on the frontal hairline followed by choosing the right graft for the right recipient areas in the surgery.
On the whole, we can say that the procedure of hair transplant only gets success if performed with the extreme precision, in-depth skills and outstanding surgical understanding that helps in meeting the desired cosmetic goal of the surgery.


How Well Do You See Those Around You?
What do you know about the people you work with? A little bit at the very least. What about the person you see once every week? Have you looked at someone without seeing them?
I have two neighbors here, I rarely say much to them. I have helped them both, but I haven't truly seen them. They are pretty much a mystery to me; I don't know their hopes, dreams, or fears. Only recently did I learn that one was a recent widow.
I looked but did not see. Almost every Saturday the past year, I worked with the homeless and poor. Other than Ken and Julius, I cannot tell you much about the others. Marianne, who leads the ministry can rattle off answers to any question asked about them.
I was walking through the River Market and I saw two guys talking to a homeless man. They saw him and did what Jesus did (John 9) by addressing two needs. First was his physical need, they bought him food where Jesus healed the blind man (John 9: 6-7). Then they prayed for him, which addressed his spiritual needs. Jesus did the same to the former blind man in John 9:35-38.
I need eyes like that, and a willingness to not be so rigid with my calendar. It's the Golden Rule in action again. The one day I got to hunt last season, I had a chance to help a stranger.
He was an older gentleman who had shot a deer up on the top of a steep, brush-covered mountain. He asked for help and I accepted. In those few hours, I have to see him as he shared stories of his years in the mountains we hunt. Learned of his faith, childhood, and even his fear of dying out there without anyone knowing where he was.
How many people do we see with that much clarity every day? On the other hand, are you like me and so wrapped up in your thoughts that people are sometimes just an observation for you? Maybe wrapped up in the day-to-day and not considering what they may be going through, instead viewing them as an inconvenience.
I have been brought a long way. The Holy Spirit is steadily working on the renovations inside me. However, I still have a long way to go.

For those of you brave enough to venture out into the pre-dawn, cold and crystal clear winter mornings to participate in the weekly event known as Cars&Coffee, your reward is twofold; not only are you assured of finding a great parking space, but you will be treated to an amazing light show, courtesy of the rising sun. And what better object to capture the heart of the sunrise, than the contours and sheet metal found on your favorite make of car.
According to my research, the Ferrari 275 GTB/4 was built from 1966-1968, with only 280 examples of the 275 GTB/4 (4 cam V 12 model) created.
Up front and positioned low within the chassis, resting beneath the front hood, was the Colombo, 4 cam 12 cylinder motor, complete with its six, dual choke Weber carburetors.
After shooting the Ferrari, it was time to explore, and look for my next photographic subject. Passing by Porsche row, I noticed that tucked in next to a silver 1957 Porsche 356 4 cam Carrera, was another German treasure, but not a Porsche. Instead, it was a pristine, beautifully restored blue 1965 Volkswagen Type 3 Notchback, as seen below.
In keeping with the Porsche theme, at least the Notchback rolled on a set of Porsche 5 spoke Fuchs alloy wheels; up front, on what appeared to be a set of the increasingly rare and hard to find, 4.5 X 15's, and on the rear, a set of the wider 6 X 15's.
As I completed another lap of the parking lot in search of additional photographic subjects, returning to my starting point on Porsche row, I came across two non-Porsches flanking the red Speedster as seen below. Parked to its right was a green Chevrolet Chevelle muscle car, and to the left, a Fly yellow Ferrari F430 Scuderia.
A quick once over of the Ferrari revealed an abundance of carbon fiber pieces as well as what appeared to be a custom exhaust system. (This assumption was confirmed when the owner returned, fired up the car and drove away; definitely not a stock sounding F430 exhaust).


Figure 1: Earth at Night 2012, 5 December 2012. Credit: NASA Earth Observatory.
This was the image that sparked my interest in light pollution and light-pollution science (Figure 1). The National Aeronautics and Space Administration released new images of Earth at night, including this one, on December 5, 2012, at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union.
It is strangely beautiful—and disturbing. Like an insect attracted to a light (an apt metaphor, given what I am now studying), I kept coming back to the map.
For one thing, it kept popping up in the news, scientific outlets, and social media. I kept seeing and became increasingly obsessed with it. And each time, I would dive into undisciplined leads on light pollution, thanks to the miracle of The Internet.
I kept thinking, There is an important story here—about humans' relationship with the night, about transformation of the nocturnal environment since the late nineteenth century. Later, I began to ask far nerdier questions: How do scientists study and visualize artificial light at night? How do their models of knowledge production shape what we know about light pollution?
Fast-forward a year. I was at a reception at Cornell, chatting with two colleagues. One was relatively new to the university. She asked me about my current research.
I told her I was torn. Supposedly, I was studying water management in French North Africa during the colonial and postcolonial eras, a project that flowed (sorry) from my previous research on the history of the transformation of France's Rhône River since World War II. I had done eight weeks of research during two archival stints in France, and written an article and a conference paper that could lead to another publication, but I just couldn't get excited about the project. I didn't feel that I had anything new or important to say.
I proceeded to tell my colleagues about the NASA image above. Both of them had, in fact, also seen it and—for whatever reason—it was memorable enough that the map had stuck in their minds, too.
However, one colleague pointed out that most scholars in her academic tribe—critical development studies—read it quite differently. For them, like her, it was a map of lighting poverty—a lack of artificial light at night.
One image, at least two interpretations.
The idea that the NASA image could be a visualization of lighting poverty had not (yet) crossed my mind. Given dominant narratives in environmental history (one of my main fields), it made sense as a map of light pollution. Given dominant narratives within critical studies of development, it (also) made sense as a map of lighting poverty.
Same map, such different meanings.
Like NASA's image, our conversation stuck in my mind. As I began the slow process of jumping ship—from hydraulic politics in France and the French empire to the history of light pollution and light-pollution science—I considered writing a short essay about the map and submitting it to the "Gallery" section of Environmental History. In the end, I wrote about another image, this one, City Lights of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East (Figure 2).
Figure 2: City Lights of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, 5 December 2012. Credit: NASA Earth Observatory.
But that conversation stayed with me and it also began to shape how I read City Lights.
How, then, do we see artificial light at night—both its presence and its absence? And how should we?
Sara B. Pritchard's new article is " "The Trouble with Darkness: NASA's Suomi Satellite Images of Earth at Night," Environmental History 22 (April 2017): 312-330. She thanks Lori Leonard and Wendy Wolford for the conversation referenced here. She also thanks Shoshana Deutsh, Finis Dunaway, María Fernández, Durba Ghosh, Jenny Goldstein, TJ Hinrichs, Julie Livingston, Margot Lystra, Neil Maher, Laura Jane Martin, Rachel Prentice, Fernando Rodriguez, Marina Welker, Wendy Wolford, and graduate students in the History of Architecture at Cornell University for constructive feedback on previous drafts of the Environmental History article.

Salisbury Park Drive, looking east towards Carman Avenue.
Check out all the action on Salisbury Park Drive.
Congratulations to Joe Oesterle, Frank Scotty, Greg Oreiro, Jim Waechtler, Brian McCarthy, and Michael LaBarbera for correctly solving this very difficult Mystery Foto.
The view looking west from the Carman Avenue Motor Parkway Bridge. The Motor Parkway here would become Salisbury Park Drive..one of the few sections of the parkway that would become a public road in Nassau County.
Another view of the Mystery Foto section of the Motor Parkway looking west. The ever-present Landeburg Farm windmill can be seen in the background. Three Vanderbilt Cup Races from 1908 to 1910 were run on the "Salisbury Plains Road" section of the Motor Parkway.
Salisbury Links can be seen to the south of the Motor Parkway.
View looking east from Meadowbrook Polo Field. Stewart Avenue is on the right.
View looking east towards Carman Avenue.
Homes on Salisbury Park Drive still benefit from an extra 25 feet from the Motor Parkway right-of way.
Amazingly, this area is the planned future demonstration project for the Motor Parkway Trail. Construction is currently scheduled to begin in the Fall 2013.
One additional bit of Salisbury trivia: From 1887 to 1892, Salisbury Park Drive was the home of Teddy Roosevelt's brother Elliott Roosevelt, Sr. and his wife Anna. From the age of 4 to 8 years, it was the home of their daughter (Anna) Eleanor Roosevelt, the future wife of her distant cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt. When her mother died in 1892, Eleanor went to live with her grandmother. Her father died two years later.
East Meadow Herald "Who are these men on Salisbury Park Drive? "
I don't have much to go on. Straight away. Park to the side. Car's using the parkway road even thought it is probably after 1938. My answer…. Carmen Ave, next to Eisenhower Park. Approx 1940's.
Don't recognize the location. Approximate year of photo: 1935.
I think it is what is now Salisbury Park Drive in East Meadow in the 1940s, with Eisenhower Park behind the fence.
I'm pretty much stumped on this one! Good one Al!
I'm probably wrong, but going with my best guess as it being what is now Salisbury Park Drive looking East towards Carman Ave, since that looks like Eisenhower Park's chain link fence on the right. Judging by the vehicles, the man's clothing, and that there aren't homes on the left side of the photo yet, I'll put the year somewhere between 1950-1955.
I really like this photo, the couple on horseback gives it character. This area reminds me of Salisbury Park Drive, with Eisenhower Park south of the fence line. So this is a east view of the LIMP in East Meadow ( automobiles traveling west ). It's probably later than 1938, 1940? If this was still actively the LIMP, I don't think horseback riding would be allowed on the ROW. And this section wasn't really abandoned, eventually becoming part of the road system.
Salisbury Park Drive looking east with Eisenhower Park on the right in the late 30s before housing developments.
Love the mystery fotos! Though there are just few clues to go on here, (another good mystery foto!), my best guess on location would be Bagatelle Rd looking south in Wheatley Heights, north of Sorrel Hill Court, on the straightaway. Main deciding factors were the elevated LIMP over the fence, the 2 different style telephone poles on opposite sides of Bagatelle Rd that are still there today, and I think I'm barely looking at a main grid tower in the hazy sky in the distance, located over the closest concrete post in the foreground. That would place the east-west main grid pretty close to where it is still located today. It's possible this area was once subject to equestrian traffic trespassing on the LIMP, that ugly fence on the right to keep them out. The fence was installed sometime after the original dirty posts. The vehicle on the road looks like early 50s. Every picture tells a story. Can't wait for this week's answer to the riddle. Keep 'em coming.
Wow - I spent a few minutes looking at this one and gave up never thinking the location is nearly in my backyard!!! And my home (at least the land my home is on) is in many of the photos of the area you showed. Next time I'm on Salisbury Park Drive (which will be tomorrow) I'll be looking for a couple on horseback and will ask to take a "now" photo. By the way, only a couple of post remnants remain, but closer to Newbridge Road. And those men on the house on Salisbury Park Drive in the last photo returned a few summers ago for some additional repair work. They were there for a while but not anymore. Keep those photos coming!
With utility poles on both sides I would think this to be Carmen ave next to the park?

Froome, Bernal, Thomas all told to prepare for Tour de France leadership
By Patrick Fletcher published 28 May 20
Team Ineos say final decision will be made 'nearer the time'

Team Ineos are making no early promises about Tour de France leadership, with Chris Froome, Egan Bernal, and Geraint Thomas all "encouraged" to prepare to lead the line this summer.
A decision will only be taken down the line, presumably after racing recommences in July, based on each rider's form and the team's strategy for the race.
Question marks over leadership between the past three winners of the Tour have intensified in recent weeks, with last year's winner Bernal saying he wouldn't sacrifice his own chances, and four-time champion Froome contacting rival teams about a mid-season transfer.
On Thursday, French newspaper L'Equipe claimed Team Ineos boss Dave Brailsford had promised sole leadership separately to all three riders, only for them to find out they weren't alone.
Egan Bernal: I won't sacrifice myself for Froome and Thomas at Tour de France
Chris Froome in discussions over a mid-season transfer
Chris Froome driven by desire to make one of sport's greatest comebacks
In a statement to Cyclingnews on Thursday, the team clarified their position.
"In a team with three previous winners of the Tour, all have shown they are capable of leading the team and all are encouraged to prepare to do so," said a spokesperson for the team.
"We know a lot changes in our sport and a final decision on roles will be made closer to the time when more information is available about each rider's form, fitness and which best fits the overall team strategy.
"Given the strength of this year's opposition we know that it is the collective strength, unity and experience of our team which will optimise our chances of winning."
Froome: The important thing is the team wins
Froome, who insists he's back to full fitness and able to equal the record of five Tour de France titles after career-threatening injuries suffered last June, has spoken about the leadership dilemma at Team Ineos.
He appeared on the Italian arm of Sky Sports on Wednesday evening and put the team goal ahead of personal ambitions.
"I am ready for the Tour, and also to be a leader," Froome said in Italian. "The important thing is that, at the end of the day, the team wins. That's the thing that matters. Then the road will decide the rest.
"Three leaders? I don't know how we will manage it... Joking, we will find the solution and respect our goals. Everyone will want to win, but it's the team that counts."
However, L'Equipe's report on Thursday painted a different picture, with the French newspaper suggesting Froome doubts how three competing interests can be balanced.
"Sharing leadership between two is possible - less so between three", he is quoted as saying to someone close to him.
Elsewhere in the L'Equipe article, it was reported that Froome had been in contact with rival team managers about a transfer but without "giving the impression of really being willing" to move mid-season.
"We have to give it a bit of time for things to sort themselves out," he reportedly told one. "I still don't know in what condition I'll do the Tour de France."

## Intro to Classes

In object-oriented programming, a class is an extensible code-template for creating objects.

A class provides initial values for state (member variables), and default implementations of behaviour (member functions/methods).

A class includes a default constructor - a sub-routine responsible for creating objects.

When a new object is created from a class, JS invokes the constructor. The resulting object is called an instance of the class - instantiation. The member variables specific to the resulting object are called instance variables, in contrast with the class variables shared across the class.

## ES6 Classes

Whilst javascript isn't a classical language, ES6 introduces syntax to declare a class.

This is just syntax sugar on top of javascript's prototype-based inheritance model.

{% highlight javascript %}
class Component extends React.Component {

	render() { }

}
{% endhighlight %}

Trump Administration directs EPA to make E15 available year-round
A BoatUS survey found that more than half of all boaters fill up at roadside stations.
Photo courtesy BoatUS
President Trump directed the Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday to make gasoline with 15 percent ethanol, or E15, available during the summer months, which had previously not been allowed.
Trump said he signed a memo telling the EPA to lift summertime fueling restrictions on E15, according to Bloomberg News.
Trump underscored the policy change at a rally in Iowa on Tuesday, the nation's top producer of ethanol and the corn with which it's made.
"Today we are unleashing the power of E15 to fuel our country all year long," Trump told the crowd in Council Bluffs, according to Bloomberg. "Promises made, promises kept."
The plan was designed to appease U.S. corn farmers who have been hurt by low corn prices as a result of the U.S.-China trade dispute and might lead to lower prices at the pump, according to Market Watch.
Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis at the Oil Price Information Service, told Market Watch that the move will lead to problems with labeling, equipment and will create problems with engines in cars manufactured before the year 2000.
It also poses problems for boat engines.
"President Trump should abandon this irresponsible proposal and instead work with Congress on reforming the Renewable Fuel Standard to deliver changes that result in better outcomes for all Americans," NMMA president Thom Dammrich said in a statement. "Otherwise, we will continue to be stuck with a system that only picks winners and losers."
President Trump's decision to proceed with year-round E15 sales "places bad policy on top of bad policy," Dammrich said.
"In addition to being legally dubious, this action will put millions of American consumers at a greater risk of misfuelling, so a small, politically important group can benefit," he said.
The EPA regulates the Reid vapor pressure of gasoline from June 1 to Sept. 15, according to Market Watch. RVP is a common measure of gasoline volatility and is monitored to reduce "evaporative emissions from gasoline that contribute to ground-level ozone."
Increasing the concentration of ethanol in gasoline to 15 percent leads to higher RVP than is allowed during summer.
"In the short-term, we are most concerned about consumers," Dammrich said. "Sixty-five percent of people assume that any gas sold at the pump is safe for all their products, not realizing federal regulation prohibits the use of E15 in small engines, like those in boats, lawn mowers and motorcycles. Lifting the restriction on E15 sales during the summer months will make misfuelling even more likely."
A BoatUS survey found that more than half of all boaters fuel at roadside gas stations.
While the announcement didn't surprise Dammrich, he said the opposition to expanded E15 sales by business, energy and environmental organizations is "striking."
"When such strange bedfellows are aligned against a course of action, leaders would be wise to re-evaluate their position," he said.

My experience at Northern Virginia School of Massage has been exceptional! I could not have asked for better instructors or a better learning environment. Northern Virginia School of Massage has helped mold me into the Massage Therapist that I am today. Many thanks to Mike and his staff!
At first I signed up for this place because it was close by and convenient to get to. But I had no idea how well put together the curriculum was. The teachers and staff were more than just personable. You actually want to be friends with them because they have such great vibes. If I could go back and start over, I would. I had such great experience learning at this school and I recommend it to anybody that is interested in healing others.
AMAZING Continuing Ed classes! I am from NC and drive up 4-5 hours to take these classes. Love the school and area. Such an energetic place to study and learn!
I graduated in January of 2016. Massage therapy has been an awesome choice for me and it came to fruition from NVSTM and the amazing staff (Tara & Judy!!!). I dreaded what a career change this "late" in life might mean, and if I could even handle it. The school's methodology of teaching made everything approachable and easy to grasp even though from the outside, it looked like we were being thrown to the wolves. I learned more than I ever thought I would know about the human body and also made some excellent friends along the way.


GHOSTS, as Ambrose Bierce said, may be only "the outward and visible sign of an inward fear," but England and Scotland teem with stories of spine-chilling nomads who won't stay put, but have spent centuries poking around and frightening the life out of people. No. 50 Berkeley Square, London, is a notoriously haunted house. The very walls of the house have been described as "saturated with electric horror," and people living in the place have been known to go off their heads and die terrified. Presumably these also come back to haunt the place, so the whole business is a vicious circle!
London has, of course, a veritable feast of haunted houses. From time to time whispers have gone abroad about this mansion, or that; but, with very few exceptions, these reports appear to be idle gossip. An empty house, shuttered, silent, uncared-for, will soon earn, in any part of the world, a reputation for something sinister, whether it be ghosts or — accepting the more prosaic theory — nothing more harmful than vagrants and squatters. But of all the haunted houses there, none has stood the test of time nor earned a greater reputation than the house in Berkeley Square. This mansion has attracted attention on account of its position in the very heart of London, from the terrible nature of the supernatural phenomena of which it is said to be the scene, and from the fact that it is the setting of one of the most famous ghost stories in existence — Sir Edward Bulwer's Haunted and the Haunters. Although this story does not claim to be anything more than fiction, it gives a very fair idea of the reputed happenings in the house in Berkeley Square.
The ghosts here seem to have taken a different form with various occupants. One story is that a virtuous young maiden once threw herself from the windows of a top room to escape a wicked relative with bad intentions. According to report, the poor girl can still, at times, be seen hanging on the window-sill and screeching her head off.
Some years ago the house, having stood empty for a long period, was taken over by a family whilst preparing for their daughter's marriage in London. They had no idea of the sinister reputation of the place, and were engaged in arranging their furniture and preparing a small room for their daughter's fiancé, who was expected to visit the following day. It was the first night of their occupation of the premises, and, when the clock pointed to near midnight, a housemaid went to the room allotted to the expected guest to complete preparations for his reception.
Twelve o'clock had no sooner struck than piercing shrieks were heard issuing from the room, loud enough to summon the whole household. They rushed upstairs, flung open the door, and found the unfortunate girl lying in convulsions at the foot of the bed. Her eyes were fixed with a stare of horror upon a corner of the room, and an agony of fear seemed to possess her.
She was immediately removed to another apartment, and medical assistance summoned. But, in spite of all that could be done for her, and the entreaties of the family to explain what it was that she had seen, the girl refused to say what had terrified her. She said that she had seen 'something' — but what that something was she declared to be too horrible to bear recounting. Her state got worse; she was removed to St. George's Hospital, and there died, still refusing to divulge the nature of the awful thing she had witnessed.
Now what she had witnessed was a mystery. She never gave any account of the horribly strange sight that must have met her gaze. The story got passed around London circles and was laughed at. The tenants avoided the room, which was again locked up, and no more was heard of the ghost for awhile.
It happened one evening that the occupants gave a party. There was a small dance, and amongst the guests were some army officers. There was some interest expressed in the haunted room, and several of the guests — particularly the military ones — laughed at the idea of a supernaturally-possessed room. Finally, the spectral subject absorbed general attention: dancing was discarded for discussion; the believers outnumbering the sceptics.
"Don't!" fretted the more timorous of his friends.
The lady of the house and her husband both tried their bests to dissuade him. But he was firm. He laughed ghosts to scorn, and jokingly bade "farewell" to his companions. He carried a candle, and as he prepared to climb the stairs to the room, which had been lighted with gas, some presentiment appeared to affect him, but he laughed away all remonstrance.
They wished the young guardsman luck, and standing in and near the drawing room door watched him ascend the staircase. He gave them a hearty "good-bye," entered the room, which was fully lighted, and shut the door loudly. The noise echoed through the house now silent, for all present, even the servants, were on alert, and the ringing of the bell was anxiously awaited. The men stood on the landing; the ladies largely remained in the rooms, talking only in whispers, and feeling, as one expressed it, as if something was going to happen. He had been gone 15 minutes, and no sound had alarmed the guests. Bets were discussed and wagers made that he would not ring, and that there was no "ghost" nor mystery.
Suddenly a low " ting, ting" was heard from the basement. There was no mistaking it — he had rung the bell! On the startling notice the ladies jumped up, and some of the men began to climb the stairs. A few were for dashing up at once, but the bravery of their friend and their agreement held them back; still they were ready for a rush up the flight at the first tingle of the second bell.
Some terrible minutes passed; the ticking of the clock was heard by all. Then a loud, monstrous crash of the bell; a sound of dreadful significance to all who heard it. Two seconds was enough for the men to reach the room and burst open the door. This is what they saw — The young officer, stretched rigid in his evening dress on the bed — dead! His jaw had dropped; his eyes were wide, staring vacantly in mortal terror; a silent, stony fear and awful horror stamped on his features! His left hand clutched the bell rope which had summoned his friends. But no presence was visible. No form manifested to alarm the others. There he lay, bare, staring mad in death. What he had seen—whether demon or spectre— must for ever remain a mystery as great as ever puzzled the London world. He died, frightened to death by the terrible apparition which he had in some manner defied or offended.
After these two terrible incidents the house remained empty for many years, until a young couple, desiring a home in this fashionable neighbourhood, approached the owner with a view to renting it. He was very loath to let it, and it was only on the urgent request of the newly-married couple that he agreed to do so. The house was handed over to painters and workmen to put into thorough order, and, with a view to making final preparations for the new occupants, the young wife's mother came up to London the night before to get all ready. She was accompanied by a maid, and, knowing nothing of the house's reputation, took up her abode for the night in the fatal room.
At midnight her maid heard a loud scream, and, rushing to the room, found her mistress dead upon the floor.
On two subsequent occasions, the house was the scene of similar occurrences, people still being found, who were willing to experiment with the powers of darkness. One man took his dog with him and compelled it to spend the night in the haunted room. The animal, apparently possessed of more sense than its master, at first refused to enter the house. It was eventually dragged in, but spent the whole time growling and whining and endeavouring to escape. The unfortunate animal was not spared by the evil forces at work, and in the morning was found in the haunted room with its neck broken.
The other investigator was accompanied by his servant, who spent the night on the landing outside the door of the dreaded room. On this occasion nothing happened to the man within, but the unlucky servant was the witness of some terrible sight, for at midnight he ran shrieking from the house. Like the other victims, he could never be persuaded to divulge what he had seen.
Visiting spiritualists and mediums attributed the manifestations in the house in Berkeley Square to the activities of a former resident, an elderly lady who had practised the dark arts. It was suggested that the subsequent hauntings were a punishment for her former necromancy. Whatever may be one's belief in the supernatural, no one will deny the danger of anyone but those with the strongest will venturing to investigate the mystery of haunted rooms. The late W. T. Stead, one of the most accomplished of spiritualists, stated most wisely that persons of weak will power should, on no account, experiment, there being several incidents on record of such people being driven out of their minds by fear and shock.


The Commission on Elections on Thursday admitted it was helpless against premature campaigning by major senatorial candidates due to some loopholes on election campaign rule.
Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said in his Twitter account that many candidates, especially running for national posts, were engaged in premature campaigning.
The poll body said it could not even slap the wrists of politicians who have resorted to premature campaigning because there was no specific law that allowed the Comelec to reprimand or act against candidates engaging in premature campaigning.
Jimenez said the Comelec could not put a stop to this, as well as the posting of tarpaulins and campaign posters with politicians' faces.
The campaign period for those running for national posts starts from February 12, 2019 to May 11, 2019.
For local positions, the campaign period is from March 29, 2019 to May 11, 2019.
"It is very clear that the acts you can prohibit of a candidate, you can only prohibit at the start of the campaign period. Unless the campaign period starts, everyone gets to do whatever they want," Jimenez said.
However, the Comelec said the candidates who placed posters on the streets could be charged with vandalism and littering, but only the local government units have the authority to do it.
Jimenez appealed to all political aspirants for a sense of delicadeza and avoid premature campaigning.


Incorporated in 1968, the Quapaw Quarter Association (QQA) grew out of an effort to identify and protect significant historic structures in Little Rock during the urban renewal projects of the early 1960s. Throughout its existence, the QQA has been a driving force behind historic preservation in Greater Little Rock. The Quapaw Quarter Association's mission is to preserve Greater Little Rock's historic places.
Hanbury Preservation Consulting collected and analyzed data from corporate records, stakeholder interviews, and surveys to prepare an assessment report for the QQA. The report served as the basis for a retreat where the board revised its mission, developed and prioritized goals, and began a process to create objectives and action steps to implement their strategic plan.

What are growing pains in children and what causes them?
December 16, 2019 by Karen Hill
The description fits what doctors still call growing pains, or benign limb pains of childhood. The suffering is real, though the source is still not understood.
Most pediatricians do not believe growing pains are actually related to the child's growth. For one thing, the location is ill defined, not specifically at the limbs' growth plates, and for another, the pains occur mostly in the age group from 4 to 12, while the periods of most rapid growth are usually earlier or later.
About 20 percent of healthy children get growing pains, usually at night and usually in the legs. They are somewhat more common in girls than in boys. Once other possible causes, like injury or inflammatory disease, have been ruled out, such pains are diagnosed as growing pains.
Usually, the use of gentle massage, warm towels, and perhaps acetaminophen or ibuprofen is all that is needed to let the child go back to sleep.
The pains have no lasting consequences, and the next morning some children do not even remember being awakened by the pains.

There is no comparison between the taste of a garden fresh tomato and a grocery store bought one that's devoid of flavor. The nature of the American food system is that grocery store produce has often been grown hundreds of miles away, meaning it can be days between harvest and your table. This process results in the quality of the produce often being compromised.
Though growing your own vegetables can seem overwhelming to some, it's actually much simpler than it sounds. Even if you don't have a yard, consider starting a patio garden or even an indoor herb garden on a windowsill. You'll be amazed at how many tomatoes or peppers you can grow out of one pot!
Improve your health. Consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables is one of the most important things you can do to stay healthy. When you pick vegetables right from your garden, the vitamin content will be at its highest. Also, you are reducing the risk of eating vegetables that contain harmful chemicals–you know exactly what you're eating. In addition, getting kids involved in the gardening process will make it more likely for them to try the vegetables.
Save money on groceries. One of the benefits of enjoying garden vegetables is a reduced monthly food bill. You can grow organic vegetables for a fraction of the cost in the stores.
Get outdoor exercise. Gardening is a physical activity and pulling weeds, planting, and digging can burn up to 400 calories per hour. Gardening is also a good mental exercise and helps keep your mind sharp.
Gardening is a natural stress reliever. Being outside in the fresh air and sunshine can improve mood and make you feel rejuvenated and overall happy. Growing your own produce also gives you a great sense of accomplishment.

Leslie is on a work trip to SLC this week and I'm doing some solo dad work. It's amazing how much easier this is than it was just a year ago. I'm not saying it's easy, just hard instead of near-impossible. It gives a glimpse of a future where our lives "come back" to us from that hazy past before Annie was born.
We got the steel grate installed in the kitchen window yesterday. Kids approve of the view.

Settlement approved for Survivors of Federal Indian Day Schools and Federal Day Schools
TOPICS:Federal Indian Day SchoolsIndigenous childrenRighting wrongs
(Photo Netnewsledger.com)
(August 19, 2019) – The Federal Court has approved a nation-wide class settlement to compensate survivors for harms suffered while attending Federal Indian Day Schools and Federal Day Schools. The settlement includes compensation for eligible Survivor Class Members ranging from $10,000 to $200,000 based on the level of harm experienced as well as the creation of a Legacy Fund of $200 million to support commemoration projects, health and wellness projects, and language and culture initiatives. To be eligible for direct compensation, a person must have attended at least one of the Federal Indian Day Schools or Federal Day Schools funded, managed and controlled by Canada, and listed on Schedule K.
Beginning August 19th, 2019, Class Members will have 90 days to opt-out of the Settlement by removing themselves from the Class. Opting out is a serious and permanent decision. Those choosing to opt-out of the Settlement will receive no compensation from this Settlement but will retain the right to bring an individual claim against Canada for harms suffered, if they wish to do so. Anyone choosing to opt out must complete and submit the Opt Out Form by November 18th, 2019.
What can I do now?
Survivors will be able to apply for compensation, however, compensation will not be issued until after the implementation date. Claims for compensation will begin to be processed for compensation 120 days from August 19th, 2019, subject to any appeals that are brought.
The Claims Form is available for review here or by contacting Gowling WLG. Right now, we encourage people to review the Claims Form and requirements. Information about how to make a claim will become available on this website in the coming weeks.
Once the claims process has started, Class Members will have two and a half years to complete the Claims Form. To be eligible for compensation, Survivor Class Members must have attended one of the identified Day Schools listed on Schedule K.
You can also find answers to frequently asked questions in our FAQ section, copies of important notices, access to key forms and other documents in our Documents section, as well as most recent updates in the settlement process.
Please complete a Registration Form to receive information about the settlement as it becomes available. There is no deadline to register. Should you have any questions or require support, please contact us at 1 (844) 539-3815.
The Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, Carolyn Bennett, issued the following statement:
"The mistreatment of Indigenous children is a tragic and shameful part of Canada's history that has had devastating effects on generations of families. Canada is deeply committed to reconciliation and healing, and will continue the important work of making amends for past wrongs.
Today, the Federal Court of Canada approved the Federal Indian Day Schools (McLean) settlement agreement. This approval marks an important step forward on our journey of reconciliation and healing with Indigenous Peoples.
Under the settlement, survivors will be able to apply for individual compensation for harms, including physical and sexual abuse, associated with attending a Federal Indian Day School. The negotiated settlement also includes a forward-looking investment of $200 million in the McLean Day Schools Settlement Corporation for Legacy Projects to support healing, wellness, education, language, culture and commemoration.
Now that the settlement agreement has been approved, a 90-day opt-out period and a 60-day appeal period will commence. At this time, any class member that does not agree with the terms of the settlement can choose to remove themselves from this process. Once the appeal period and opt-out periods have concluded, class members who have not opted-out will be able to apply for compensation. Healing and commemoration activities will be available to all those affected by the legacy of Indian Day Schools.
We recognize that any process that involves revisiting past abuses can have a re-traumatizing effect on survivors. The Hope for Wellness Help Line is also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to offer culturally competent counseling and crisis intervention. For immediate help, call the toll-free line at 1-855-242-3310 or connect to the online chat at hopeforwellness.ca.
Today's Federal Court decision is a recognition of the hard work undertaken by all sides toward finding a lasting and meaningful resolution for former students of Federal Indian Day Schools and their families. The advocacy, perseverance, and commitment of survivors of Federal Indian Day Schools to right past wrongs will not be forgotten."

Envestnet | Yodlee announced Envestnet Intelligence for Financial Institutions at FinovateFall 2018.
Davis Janowski | Sep 26, 2018
Firms using Envestnet | Yodlee, a leading data aggregation and data analytics platform for digital financial services, have a new tool to call upon when it comes to tracking their business metrics. Envestnet Intelligence for Financial Institutions, a new data intelligence tool, was announced Tuesday at FinovateFall 2018 in New York.
Machine learning and natural language processing—two of the most commonly employed technology subsets within the field of artificial intelligence—are being applied to the massive amounts of business data Envestnet collects from, and on behalf of, its institutional customers. A homegrown data analytics engine then powers the platform, which can be accessed from a user's desktop, mobile and Amazon Alexa-enabled devices. It's not the first time Envestnet has voice-enabled one of its products with Alexa; the firm added this feature to its Envision IQ product in May.

— Finovate (@Finovate) September 25, 2018
With the product, according to Envestnet, financial institutions can empower their employees to easily get answers, in real-time, to key business questions.
"We came to the realization that people just weren't using available analytics packages enough," said Frank Coates, executive managing director at Envestnet | Yodlee. "So we endeavored to make an application that is as easy to use as Pandora or Twitter," he said.
Another challenge the firm faced was personalization, Coates said. Within a single organization Envestnet may be working with a dozen different groups, all of them possibly using the same data but in different ways or with different needs or within different contexts, such as core banking versus the credit department within a bank.
"We think early adopters will probably be wealth managers that meet with clients a lot or people that see customers and that are on the road a lot," Coates said.
Three specific packages will be available under the "Intelligence" including Engagement, Advanced, and Custom.
Engagement is intended for firms to measure their customer adoption and the level of engagement when it comes to data aggregation-based offerings. Advanced will help firms to better understand their book of business, evaluate customer analytics and growth opportunities, and understand how to increase profitability and share of wallet. Finally, the Custom offering is meant to help a firm integrate both its aggregated data and proprietary data across the business (in many institutions such data has often been in silos) and provide far greater insights.
When asked about whether Intelligence would allow a financial advisor access to a clients accounts or holdings, Coates said the tool was restricted to a firm's business data.
"Out of the box we are accessing business data; we of course use multi-factor authentication but many of our clients are not yet comfortable with providing access to customer data," Coates said.
The offering is now available to select Envestnet | Yodlee clients and will be made generally available in the coming weeks.


The are a number of design details to choose from which will give your selection a personal touch. Below is a list of design details and their descriptions.
Graceful curves and fine finishes add to the visiual beauty.
Added detailing and personalization options are available on most designs.
Simple, basic designs are sometimes the best fit.

MILION-YEAR PICNIC
Learning to See the Seasons in the Night Sky
As Jupiter and Saturn take center stage, you know it's autumn
By Justin Samaha Oct 19, 2022
A range of signals alert you to each season's arrival. The changing light, the landscape, the weather, and the amount of traffic on Route 6 all tell the time of year. Did you know that you can look to the night sky in the same way to mark your passage through the seasons? That's because as Earth orbits the Sun, the backdrop of stars and constellations changes with them.
When Orion strides across the sky after darkness falls, you know it's winter. When Cygnus the Swan is high overhead, you know it's summer. And now, as Jupiter and Saturn take center stage, you know it's autumn.
Jupiter has been in the news recently: the king of the planets is currently at opposition. This astronomical term means that a planet is in the opposite part of the sky from the Sun. If you had an extremely long string, you could trace a straight line from the Sun through the Earth and extend it out to the planet at opposition.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and always appears as a very bright star. But at opposition, it's at its brightest. And this opposition is a particularly good one for Jupiter-watchers. Planetary orbits are not perfectly circular. They're ellipses, which means that a planet's distance from the Sun varies slightly over time. Right now, the variations in Earth's and Jupiter's orbits have aligned in such as a way as to bring us closer to Jupiter than we typically are. The result? Jupiter looks bigger and brighter than ever.
Look for Jupiter in the east-southeastern sky after dark. You'll see a brilliant golden-white star far outshining everything but the Moon. If you have binoculars, steady them on a railing or tree branch and point them at Jupiter. You'll see up to four tiny white stars very close to the planet, clearly forming a straight line. Some may be on one side of Jupiter and some on the other.
These are actually not stars but four of Jupiter's 80 moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, also called the Galilean moons in honor of Galileo Galilei.
After spending some time with Jupiter, shift your gaze further south (to your right) until you strike a dimmer star with a ruddy-gold color. That's Saturn. If you have sharp eyes, binoculars may reveal Saturn with an elongated football-like shape, due to its rings. But you'll need a small telescope to fully resolve the rings.
Two nights ago, I set up my telescope to observe Jupiter and Saturn and invited passersby to look. I began by pointing out the two planets in the sky and then invited people to observe them through the telescope. People ask about their size and about how far away they are. But my favorite questions were: "How do you know that a particular star is Saturn or Jupiter?" and "How did you know tonight would be a good night to see them?"
The answer is that I have learned my way around the sky — and it is not hard to do. You can begin with books like Night Sky: A field guide to the constellations by Jonathan Poppele or The Monthly Sky Guide by Ian Ridpath and Wil Tirion, which take you through the year by highlighting the prominent constellations season by season. You need only to learn a few of them to get your bearings at any time of year.

Those constellations then form a foundation that enables you to readily find the brightest stars, which also vary with the seasons. After that you can expand your sky watching and begin to identify the odd stars that come and go throughout the year on unique and seemingly bizarre paths. Ancient astronomers called them wandering stars, or astra planeta in ancient Greek, from which we derive our word planets.
Once you know something about what's in the sky at any given time of year, there are a few ways to find them, even without a telescope.
The books I've mentioned here have tables that detail when and where to look for the planets. You can also find this information online, or with smartphone apps like Sky Safari or Stellarium, or even almanac-type apps. Whatever reference sources you choose, at a certain point you need to go outside and look at the sky. As you go back and forth between descriptions and real-life observation, you'll soon come to know what's in the sky throughout the year.
Which is to say: you can be one of those people who knows when and where to look for the planet Jupiter, the red star Betelgeuse, or the constellation Cassiopeia. Clear skies!

Marketing data appears to be an obvious concept. But you'd be surprised that most marketers see their marketing data as merely acceptable when it comes to helping them understand the customer and understand marketing performance.
Shouldn't all of today's marketers feel extremely confident in the accuracy of their marketing data?
For something as important as the source of information on the customer, where they come from, and the kinds of marketing engagements that are effective, the answer should be yes.
And yet, in the State of Pipeline Marketing 2016 we found this untrue. Most marketers are only somewhat confident in their marketing data. So we decided to explore why this may be.
