A US drone strike hit Bayda on this day, according to local security officials, Yemeni tribal leaders and residents.
Casualty estimates ranged. Yemeni tribal leaders and local security officials said that two commanders and four other militants were killed when a drone struck their hideout. An unspecified source told The National that a total of eight fighters were killed, including two commanders. The source said they were known by their noms de guerre - Abu Mohammed Al Dahab and Abu Al Kaka. But an official told AFP that five fighters were killed, including one commander.
The National's source said the men were killed when their moving vehicle was targeted near a known militant base in a mountainous area called Thee Kaleb in Al Kuraishiya district. Reuters spelled the district's name as al Qrishia.

US Central Command confirmed it carried out a strike targeting AQAP in Abyan on September 9.
Centcom provided no casualty estimates, but news sites said the strike killed four members of AQAP in a mountainous area of the province's Ahwar district.
A security official told The National that Ali Shanna, known as Sameh Al Marmi, had been killed in the attack. Marmi was described as top field commander, believed to have been the right-hand man of Jalal Baleedi, AQAP's leader in Yemen before he was killed in 2016 by a strike. We have reached out to Centcom on this.

A US drone strike carried out last year in Yemen may have killed Ibrahim al Asiri, described as al Qaeda's chief bomb maker, according to numerous sources.
Al Asiri is believed to have been behind the "underwear bomb" attempt to down an airliner over Detroit on Christmas day 2009, which failed, and other foiled aviation-related terror attacks.
The possibility that al Asiri had been killed was mentioned in a recent UN report, however there was no indication of how he died. A Yemeni security official, a tribal leader and an al Qaeda-linked source told AP he was killed in a US drone strike. This reportedly occurred in Marib province.
A US official has since confirmed to ABC that there is a high degree of confidence in nearly year-old intelligence that showed al Asiri was killed by a US drone while in Yemen.
The exact date of his alleged death was not given. The report from the UN's Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team stated that some member states believed the 'explosives expert' may have been killed in the second half of 2017. "Given al Asiri's past role in plots against aviation, this would represent a serious blow to operational capability," the report stated.
CNN reported that counter-terrorism analysts urged significant skepticism regarding al Asiri's death, as AQAP has not released any statement acknowledging it nor a eulogy celebrating his martyrdom, as would usually be expected.
We have reached out to Central Command on this and will update this post as soon as we get more information. We will record the strike in this entry, the date of the AP story, as a possible strike for now.
More information on al Asiri can be found in this UN profile.
Type of strike: Possible US strike

US Central Command said it conducted strikes on July 22 and 24, both in Hadramout governorate, in response to a Bureau query on the monthly strike total.
No further information was given. We asked for casualty estimates and are still awaiting a response. However, we believe that the Command will not provide this information as in February we were told they had been advised not to give out detailed information on strikes. More info on this can be found here.
This entry records the strike on July 24.

A drone strike targeted a house used by AQAP in Marib province killed four members of the group, AFP reported, citing officials in the local area.
The sourcing is however too vague to include this in our database of confirmed US strikes. We will reach out to US Central Command for more information.
A suspected US drone strike killed seven people believed to belong to al Qaeda in Yemen's Shabwah province, a security official has said.
The group was hit as they drove along a side road in Shabwa's Bihan district, official told AFP.
However, US Central Command said on July 11 that they had not carried out any strikes so far this month.

Unknown reported killed
Two US strikes hit Yemen in June, US Central Command confirmed to New America.
One hit on June 23 and the other on June 30, but no additional details on locations or casualties figures were given.

A US drone strike killed four members of AQAP in Shabwah early on May 15, a security official told Xinhua.
"Two vehicles of al Qaeda militants were struck with American missiles, leaving at least four terrorists killed at the scene," the official reportedly said.
Local residents also said the two vehicles were completely destroyed with four charred bodies found in the area.
The US had confirmed a strike the day before, also in Shabwah. It could be that the reports are referring to the same strike. We have reached out to Central Command for further information.

0-1 civilians reported killed
US Central Command confirmed reports of a US strike in Shabwah on May 14.
Yemeni tribal and security officials had told AP a US drone strike killed three al Qaeda members driving in a vehicle late that night.
However a story published by AP in November 2018 alleged that civilians may have been killed in this strike, but noted there was dispute over this. They reported that Hussein al Dayani and Abdullah al Karbi were killed when their pickup truck was hit in a drone strike. A brother of al Dayani denied the two men were militants, saying his brother was in a militia fighting Houthis and was not a member of AQAP or IS, groups the US targets in Yemen.
However, if al Dayani was a member of an armed group, we wouldn't record him as a civilian in our database. We have recorded a civilian death toll of of between 0 and 1 to reflect the possibility the second man was a civilian.

US Central Command told the Bureau that there were four strikes in Yemen in April, but no additional details were given at the time.
In a press release published in mid-May, additional details on two of the strikes was provided. These have been added into the database under the relevant dates. This entry records the remaining two.
Type of strike: US air or drone strikes
A US strike on April 23 was detailed in a press release from Central Command in mid-May.
The press release said a strike targeted an "AQAP checkpoint for asserting regional control and raising illegal revenue" in Bayda province.
There were no further details.
An unnamed security official was reported saying a US drone strike killed two men on a motorcycle in Shabwah province's Baihan district, however Central Command said there were no strikes in the province on the day it was reported to have taken place.
The source said the identities of the dead were unclear as the bodies had been badly damaged in the strike. Al Masdar, which reported the strike, said the dead were suspected al Qaeda members.
A tweet said a US strike had killed two sheep market labourers.

A US strike on April 11 was detailed in a press release from Central Command in mid-May. The strike allegedly hit an AQAP training camp in Hadramout province.
0-2 reported injured
Possible civilian casualties
A US strike hit Yemen's Bayda province, the Pentagon confirmed to Reuters, but the identity of those it killed remains unclear with allegations of civilian casualties arising.
In a May press release, Central Command acknowledged the allegations and said it was conducting a credibility assessment of them. The US had said four members of AQAP were killed.The Pentagon had stated, according to Reuters, that no civilians were present and "therefore none were injured or killed as a result of the strike".
A Yemeni government official said at least three militants died in the strike. The Yemeni official speaking to Xinhua, said the US, acting on intelligence provided by Yemeni authorities, launched a drone strike on an "al Qaeda vehicle" in Bayda's Sawmaah. The three killed were "practicing terrorist activities", Xinhua reported.
However, a local official government source reported that three civilians were killed and two others injured. "The strike, which we suspect was carried out by the US, targeted a vehicle carrying civilians near the western entrance of Al Bayda's Al Sawmaah directorate," the source told Anadolu Agency. "The victims all hailed from Al Sawmaah; one of them, Salim al-Manzari, was the former head of Aden's drivers union."

A US spokesperson told the Intercept that six US strikes hit Yemen this month, all of which hit Hadramout province and targeted AQAP. The article was published on March 26 so the number provided does not cover the entirety of March. US Central Command later confirmed a further strike in March, which took place on March 29 and is in the entry above.
The Intercept examined three of these strikes and found they led to non-AQAP casualties. These three are recorded in more detail in the entries below. The March 29 strike also led to allegations of civilian casualties.
In June, Centcom gave FDD's Long War Journal additional details on March's strikes. This entry recorded three strikes that we knew happened but had no additional details on. We now know that two of these occurred on March 5 and another occurred on March 13, all in Hadramout.

A US drone strike killed AQAP suspects in a house in Marib province, tribal leaders and a provincial security official has said. However the US has said they carried out no strikes in Yemen on the day the strike reportedly took place.
The security official told Xinhua an overnight strike hit a house on a farm in Wadi Abida valley and killed five people. Yemeni tribal leaders told Associated Press seven AQAP members were killed when a house believed to be used by the militants was hit.
As we have two sources reporting the strikes we have included this strike in our database, but as a possible strike to reflect the US response.

6 reported killed, including possible civilian casualties
Three US strikes intending to hit AQAP killed Yemeni civilians and people believed to be fighting for groups allied to the US supported Saudi-led coalition, the Intercept has found. They all took place in Hadramout province.
Members of the al Mahashima tribe, to which all the dead belonged, provided accounts to The Intercept. Their accounts have been confirmed by independent sources and rights group Reprieve. Those killed were, they said, were poverty stricken people displaced by fighting in al Jawf province.
Tribe members drove to the town of al Hudhi to urge residents to relocate following two drone strikes in the area in a couple of days. Six members of the tribe, all belonging to one family, were reportedly driving back to Marib when their vehicle was targeted. They were in the area of al Abr when the strike hit at around 1700 local time, accounts say.
All six were reportedly killed. The dead have been identified as local tribal leader Abdullah al Qibli al Wuhair's three adult children and three adult grandchildren.
Local sources have stressed to the Intercept that none of the people killed were members of AQAP or Islamic State. A Yemeni intelligence official has said al Mahashima members reportedly belonged to AQAP were killed some time ago.
The uncle of Amer, the child reportedly killed in the March 5 strike, said he knew the victims of the March 9 strike and stated that they were not members of militant groups like AQAP. Four of them had, he said, been fighting alongside military units aligned with the Saudi-led coalition, which the US has provided support to by, for example, sharing intelligence.
An article published by Associated Press (AP) on civilian casualties in November 2018 detailed a strike on this day. It found six people were killed, including a 14-year-old and an 18-year-old, when their car was struck as they travelled to a funeral. According to AP, a report from the Jawf Human Rights office concluded the men were civilians. This version of events differs from the one detailed by The Intercept.
When asked by the Bureau whether US forces carried out a strike on this day, a US spokesperson said they had on March 8, the day before.
In a later email in April, the US responded to the Bureau regarding four allegations of civilian casualties, including this one. A spokesperson said: "After a thorough review of the facts and circumstances of each civilian casualty report you provided, all four were assessed to be non-credible." However, the spokesperson noted that a finding of non-credible in many cases indicates a lack of evidence and is not intended to deny the possibility that a civilian casualty incident occurred.
The strike was included in our database as a possible strike. It's inclusion takes into account the reporting by The Intercept and AP, but including it as a "possible" strike reflects the military's denial it carried out a strike on that day.
We have also recorded a casualty range for this strike. The four people said to fight for military units, regardless of the unit's affiliation, would not be recorded as civilians. Therefor we have recorded a range of 0-6 civilians killed in this strike. This allows for the possibility that all six were civilians or that all six were affiliated with some kind of armed group. We have also included 0-1 children reported killed, reflecting AP's reporting that a 14-year-old was among the dead.

When asked by the Bureau whether US forces carried out a strike on March 9, a US spokesperson said they had on March 8. This took place in Hadramout.
As a result, we have recorded the March 9 as a possible strike (see entry above) and added the March 8 strike as an additional strike. We are trying to ascertain whether there is a possibility they are the same strike and there has been some confusion with the dates.
1 civilian reported killed
The first strike is detailed in the entry below. The second strike reportedly killed a man searching for cell phone coverage on the top of a hill in al Hudhi, a small town in Hadramout. He has been identified as Saleh al Wuhair.
It occurred at around 1700 local time, according to a member of his family and independent observers.
Local sources have stressed to the Intercept that none of the people killed in the three attacks were members of AQAP or Islamic State. A Yemeni intelligence official said the al Mahashima members that reportedly belonged to AQAP were killed some time ago. For example, the uncle of al Wuhair was an AQAP leader but he was killed in a drone strike about five years ago, according to one of al Wuhair's relatives. Unlike some of the other people killed in the strikes, there was no mention that al Wuhair fought for any armed group. Therefor we have recorded him here as a civilian.
In an email to the Bureau, a US Central Command spokesperson confirmed US forces carried out a strike on this day in Hadramout.
Location: Al Hudhi, Hadramout province

0-1 children reported killed
Members of the al Mahashima tribe, to which all the dead belonged, provided accounts to The Intercept. Their accounts have been confirmed by independent sources and rights group Reprieve. Those killed were, they said, poverty stricken people displaced by fighting in al Jawf province.
The first strike reportedly killed 13-year-old Amer Ali al Saqra Huraidan and injured his 19-year-old cousin.
The Intercept reported that they were returning from visiting relatives in al Hudhi, a small town in Hadramout, when a drone struck their car on a desert highway at around 1600 local time.
"He was too young to join [any militant groups]," Hasan, Amer's cousin who was injured in the attack said. His uncle told The Intercept: "There's no link with Al Qaeda whatsoever."
Local sources stressed to The Intercept that none of the people killed in the three attacks were members of AQAP or Islamic State. Hasan had reportedly just returned from fighting the Houthi rebels. A local activist said Amer's father was a leader in Islah, a Islamist party that has taken a lead role in fighting the same group. A Saudi-led coalition began a bombing campaign against the Houthis in 2015. While the US has not formally backed the Saudi coalition, it has provided support.
A US spokesperson had earlier confirmed a US strike in Hadramout on March 5, although no further details were provided at the time. Intercept were told six strikes had been carried out in Yemen this month, all of which hit Hadramout province.
In April, the US did respond to the Bureau regarding four allegations of civilian casualties, including this one. A spokesperson said: "After a thorough review of the facts and circumstances of each civilian casualty report you provided, all four were assessed to be non-credible." However, the spokesperson noted that a finding of non-credible in many cases indicates a lack of evidence and is not intended to deny the possibility that a civilian casualty incident occurred.
Soon after the strike, a caseworker at Reprieve tweeted that a US drone strike in Marib province had killed a child, but the US said no strikes were carried out there. The Intercept explained the confusion in the article, saying that early reports put the strike in Marib but it became clear that it infact took place in Hadramout - Amer and his cousin had been returning to Marib.
Prior to the Intercept report, a local security official told Xinhua: "A pilotless plane of the US Air Forces conducted a strike on a moving vehicle in Albar desert of Hadramout province, killing four members of al-Qaida network and destroying their vehicle."
Associated Press (AP) published an article in November 2018 on civilian casualties from drone strikes in Yemen. It included a strike on this day, but the name and age of the victim differed. According to AP, the strike killed a 10-year-old boy named Ammer al Mahshami (could be a reference to the name of the tribe he belonged). This was based on their conversations with three relatives. It also reportedly injured the driver of the car they were in.
We have recorded a range for our casualty figures. As the US military deemed the allegations to be "non-credible" and a local security official noted four members of al Qaeda died in the strike, we have included a range that reflects this but also includes The Intercept and AP reporting. As the official did not report a child being killed we have recorded 0-1 children killed.

A US spokesperson told the Bureau five US strikes were carried out in Yemen in February, but no additional details were provided.
However, Long War Journal was given additional information on these strikes in June. Centcom told them six strikes had taken place in February, not five, all of which took place in Bayda province. These are as follows:
- Strike on February 7
- Strike on February 11
- Two strikes on February 24
We had already recorded the strikes on February 11 and February 16. The additional four strikes have been entered under this single entry.

Reports surfaced of a strike in Yemen's Bayda province.
AFP said a motorbike was targeted at around midnight on February 16. A security official told them, "The strike targeted two al Qaeda militants, local commander Abu Hussein al Theriya and another, Dawoud al Sanaani, as they rode through the province."
However, Xinhua said a military official told them drone strike on February 17 hit a small pick-up truck killing three AQAP members. They also reported the death of a local commander. Residents near the scene confirmed to Xinhua that the bodies of the commander and two companions were in the vehicle.
We reached out to Central Command who confirmed they carried out a strike on February 16 in Bayda province. No further details were provided. We have added this strike into the database.

The US confirmed it conducted a strike against AQAP in Bayda province on February 11.
While no additional details were provided, AFP reported six members of the group were killed, citing a security official.
"An unmanned drone -- likely American -- bombed the group's vehicle in the area of Qayfa, where Al-Qaeda is active," the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

US forces have carried out ten strikes in Yemen since the start of the year, a US Central Command spokesperson told the Bureau on January 29.
We have recorded two strikes individually for this month, and this entry records the remaining eight.
While we received no information at the time on where and when they occurred, or casualty estimates, the FDD's Long War Journal received more information in June.
Centcom said the US conducted eight strikes against AQAP in Bayda province in January. These took place on January 1, 3, 9, 12, 13, 20, 25, and 29. A strike against the Islamic State occurred on January 12, also in Bayda. One strike took place in Shabwah on January 26, targeting AQAP.

AFP reported a drone strike killing seven suspected AQAP fighters in Shabwah province in the early hours of January 27, citing a security source. A car was allegedly targeted in the strike.
While US Central Command denied US forces carried out a strike on this day, they did say ten strikes had been carried out so far in 2018. At that time we had recorded no strikes since the start of the year, although this later changed following an AP article in November.

7 civilians reported killed
Protests reportedly erupted in Shabwah in response to an alleged drone strike killing civilians. Residents said that a car was hit carrying at least six male members of the same family and another individual. They were reportedly looking for a missing child.
There was some confusion on the date of the strike, with reports placing it on either January 27 or January 28, both days the US military denied carrying out a strike. However, Associated Press (AP) published a story nearly a year later which said the strike occurred on January 26, a day the US confirmed it did carry out a strike.
The AP article provides further details. They report that a 14-year-old boy sent out to buy vegetables came across a friend who told him militants were giving out free motorbikes. He was lured to their camp by this promise, and on his family's realisation of this, they went out in search. However, their vehicle was hit by a strike. Inside was the boy's father, Saleh bin Elwiya, the father's eldest son, two nephews and a brother-in-law, alongside two people who had agreed to help with the search.
Saleh al Aishi al Ateeqi, a relative of one of the victims, told local media at the time: "The victims were all innocent civilians who had nothing to do with any political or religious organisation."
A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed to AP a strike targeting al Qaeda had taken place in the province on that day. The spokesperson did not seem to deny that the strike killed civilians, instead reportedly stating that they did not release details or death tolls in drone strikes. We have reached out to US Central Command for more information in light of the AP piece.

A strike in Yemen which allegedly killed two civilians on this day came to light in an AP report published in November 2018.
According to AP, a drone missile slammed into a farm in Bayda province killing 70-year-old Mohammed Mansar Abu Sarima and a younger relative. Their information was provided by a family member. They had reportedly just returned from mediating a local dispute.
"We don't have any affiliation. They are simple farmers who don't know how to read or write," the brother told AP. "We live in fear. Drones don't leave the sky."
US Central Command confirmed back in January that a strike took place in this province on this day. We have reached out to US Central Command for further information following the new information.

This review of the climate of Alaska is predominantly based on the 20 first order climatological stations in Alaska, which are operated by NOAA's National Weather Service. These stations are all of high quality, operated by professional meteorologists with identical or similar meteorological instrumentation and observational practices. However, this should not be taken as a sign that stations, which might be operated by other agencies, industries or private individuals are of poor quality. We mention new record values of these latter stations in the monthly summaries.
Figure1: Isoplete presentation of the temperatures deviations from the normal (1981-2010) for 2011 based on all Alaskan 1st order meteorological stations.
while southern Alaska was below normal with the exception of Yakutat, which reported the exact climatic normal value. Actual temperature deviations by station can be seen from Table A. 15 of the 20 stations gave negative values with a mean negative deviation of -0.9°F, the mean value of the 4 positive deviation being +1.1°F.
Figure 2: Mean monthly temperature deviation for the 20 first order stations in Alaska by month.
which was much colder than normal. The deviation of 6.7°F for the mean of the 20 stations is remarkable, and shows that all of Alaska was too cold during this month and it was indeed colder than December, an infrequent occurrence.
Figure 3: Precipitation deviations (%) from the normal (1981-2010) for 2011 based on all Alaskan 1st order meteorological stations.
large variations can occur over short distances, especially in the summer due to shower activities. The graph shows, that northwestern Alaska observed far above normal precipitation values, while southwestern Alaska recorded values below normal. For the rest of Alaska the results were mixed, but dominantly below normal. More details can be seen from Table B, in which the actual deviations by month and year are presented for all stations.
The mean deviation of precipitation by month is presented in Figure 4 for the mean of the 20 stations. The figure shows, that February and December were wetter than normal with positive deviations of above 60%, while March and May were much drier than the norm.
Figure 4: Mean monthly precipitation deviation for the 20 first order stations in Alaska by month.
Precipitation falls in summer as rain, but in winter as snow. "Winter" is, of course, much longer in Northern Alaska, e.g. Barrow when compared to the Southeast, e.g. Annette. In Fig.5 the annual snowfall for the stations is presented. It should be pointed out, that 4 stations did not report snowfall amounts, namely Big Delta, Gulkana, Homer and Talkeetna.
It can be seen that 2 stations, Kotzebue and Barrow, both situated in northwestern Alaska, measured more than twice the expected amount of snowfall. It might not be surprising, that this is the area where the highest positive temperature deviation was observed, and warmer air is able to hold a larger amount of water vapor when compared to a colder air-mass. Generally, snowfall was above the long term mean for most stations. The only strong negative deviation with -38% was found for Cold Bay. The detailed numbers can be obtained from Table C.
January 2011 started out as a pleasant month. 18 of the 20 stations recorded above normal temperatures, with large positive deviations in northwestern Alaska. Nome reported the largest deviation with 9.7°F, followed by Kotzebue (+6.9) and Bethel (+5.0°F). The two stations with negative mean monthly temperature deviations were found in southeastern Alaska in Annette (-1.1°F) and Juneau (-0.1°F). The highest temperature for the month of 49°F was measured at Merrill Field, Anchorage on the 2nd, and then in Palmer a day later. January's lowest temperature of -58°F occurred at Chicken on the Taylor Highway, and at Ft. Yukon at the banks of the Yukon River, both happening on the 21st of the month.
Precipitation in January was normal with 98% of the expected value. Gulkana and Kotzebue were relatively the wettest with nearly twice the expected values, while on the other side of the coin, Fairbanks and Big Delta had roughly 1/3rd of the normal values. Little Port Walter, the station with the highest annual amount of precipitation in Alaska, also held the record for January with 23.94". The greatest snow depth of 112" occurred on the 22nd January at the top of Eaglecrest, a ski area close to Juneau.
February was generally cold in Alaska with a mean deviation of -1.5°F; 13 of the 20 stations were seasonably below normal. The strongest negative deviations in declining order were Big Delta (-7.0°F), Fairbanks (-5.2°F) and Bettles (5.0°F), all situated in Interior Alaska. In contrast to this, Northern Alaska was much warmer than normal. Barrow recorded a mean temperature of -6.1°F, a substantial deviation of +8.3°F above the long term mean. On the 24th a new high temperature record of 29°F was reported, a balmy temperature for the northernmost town in the USA. The old record of 1982 was smashed by 8°F. To surpass the old record by such an amount is remarkable, especially as the observation length is close to a century. Several new daily records were set, 3 of those for Kotzebue, however, we will not discuss those in detail in an annual review.
Precipitation was substantially higher than average, with 168% of normal values. The largest amount of deviation in declining order were observed in Kotzebue (556%), Barrow (443%), Fairbanks (386%), Gulkana (310%) and Bettles (258%), all located in Northern or Interior Alaska. In contrast to this, South Central and the Aleutians measured precipitation below the normal mark for February. Daily new records were found for a number of stations, but we report here only one: on the 17th February 1.37" of precipitation were recorded for Kotzebue, surpassing the old record of 1996 (0.14") by nearly 10 fold. The amount observed for this day is very close to the normal amount (1.40") for the whole month. It was also a record in snowfall at 9.9" and this precipitation event in connection with strong winds closed Kotzebue down.
March temperatures for most of Alaska were below normal. The mean deviation calculated to -1.3°F with 14 stations being below the long-term mean, one exactly at the mean, and 5 stations being above the normal. Those are in declining order: Barrow (6.3°F), Kotzebue (4.1°F), St Paul Island (2.2°F), Kodiak (0.9°F) and Cold Bay (0.4°F). The strongest negative deviations were found in the Interior with -9.9°F at Gulkana and in the Southeast with -5.0°F at Juneau. Temperatures were highly above normal this March north of the Books Range and along the West Coast, the Pribilof and Aleutian Islands, while temperatures for the Interior, Southwest, South Central and Southeast were all below to near normal. Nevertheless, new high temperature records were set towards the end of March, all in the Southeast. There are too many to mention all, but the highest temperature was reported at Klawock on the 25th reaching a high of 58°F and surpassing the old record of 52°F set in 2004.
Precipitation was below normal for most of the state with the mean value for the 20 stations being 56% of normal. Exceptions were the Arctic and St. George Island. The March precipitation deviations are as follows: Barrow recorded 0.28"; the normal for March is just 0.09", making this a positive deviation of +211% above normal. The stations showing negative deviations are Talkeetna reported 0.14" (-89%), King Salmon 0.10" (-87%), Big Delta 0.04" (-82%), Juneau 1.28" (-64%), Nome 0.24" (-60%), Fairbanks 0.15" (-46%), Anchorage 0.45" (-31%) and Ketchikan 10.05" (-10%). Of note, Valdez reported the longest stretch of dry days since records began in 1972. Twenty-two (22) days with no precipitation (since February 20th); the previous record was 20-days, set in 1996.
April's temperatures were above normal in Southern Alaska, the Interior was close to normal and Arctic, Western and Southeast Alaska experienced temperatures below the expected values.
The temperature in Anchorage averaged 37.5°F, a +1.2°F deviation from the normal value. Fairbanks recorded 31.8°F, a small positive deviation of 0.1°F and Big Delta was temperature-wise very similar with 32.3°F with a positive deviation of 0.2°F. Below normal temperatures were measured in Nome 17.9°F (deviation -1.7°F), King Salmon 32.6°F (deviation -0.5°F), Juneau 39.1°F (deviation -1.7°F) and Ketchikan 41.0°F (deviation -2.0°F). Remarkable was Barrow on the Arctic coast. After 9 consecutive months of above normal temperatures, the monthly mean of -1.0°F was slightly (deviation -0.5°F) below the 30 year norm.
Precipitation was below normal for most of the State with exceptions of western and southwestern Alaska. King Salmon reported 1.09", or 116% of the normal value of 0.94". In Nome, further north along the Bering Sea coast, the precipitation (0.64") was very close to normal, 99% of the expected value of 0.65". Barrow showed the strongest negative deviation with only 17% of the expected value. However, it should be pointed out that the precipitation is light in Northern Alaska, especially in spring, when cloudiness is at a minimum. The precipitation for the month was 0.02" water equivalent, while the monthly norm is 0.20". From these values it can be easily deduced, that one single snowfall could substantially change these statistics. Other stations gave the following values expressed again as the percentage of normal: Fairbanks 33%, Juneau 62%, Ketchikan 63%, Anchorage 77% and Big Delta 85%.
May's temperatures were above normal for much of Alaska, with a mean value for all stations of 1.0°F. Deviations from the mean were especially pronounced for Northern and Interior Alaska. Here are the temperatures given in order of declining deviations from the norm. Fairbanks held the record for the month with 52.4°F, 2.9°F above the normal. The temperature in Big Delta averaged 50.5°F, a +2.4°F deviation from the normal value. The same deviation of +2.4°F was found for Barrow, which recorded a mean monthly temperature of 22.5°F. King Salmon reported 32.6°F (deviation -0.5°F), Ketchikan 45.1°F (deviation +1.6°F), Anchorage 48.4°F (deviation + 1.5°F), Nome 38.4°F (deviation +1.3°F), Ketchikan 48.9°F (deviation +0.4°F) and Juneau 48.2°F (deviation +0.3°F). Northern Alaska resumed its warming trend with Barrow, which last month had a negative temperature deviation, the first in 10 months, which was once again warmer than the long term mean. May was also the first month of the year where the Interior became warmer than the southern region, which is rather typical for the relatively warm continental summer conditions of the Interior. For example, the monthly mean temperature for Fairbanks was 52.4°F, with a monthly maximum of 86°F on the 28th. In contrast to this, the mean monthly temperature of Anchorage was 48.4°F, and a maximum of 70°F, which occurred on 26 and 27 May.
Precipitation was below normal for most of the State with a mean value 63% of normal. Exceptions could be found in parts of South Alaska, where King Salmon reported 143% and Ketchikan 111% of normal. Below normal precipitation were recorded for Fairbanks (7%), Big Delta (22%), Anchorage (50%), Barrow (75%), Nome (78%), Juneau (81%). It should be pointed out that precipitation is light in Interior and especially Northern Alaska in spring, when cloudiness is at a minimum. The above normal temperatures and far below normal precipitation values in Interior Alaska caused very dry surface conditions, enhancing wildfires ignition and spreading, and by the end of the month a great number of wildfires had occurred, far above normal for the time of year.
June's temperatures were generally close to normal for all of Alaska: the mean deviation from the normal was -0.2°F. Nome measured 49.2°F, having the greatest positive deviation of 1.9°F. Other stations with positive deviations in declining order were Ketchikan with 48.7°F (deviation + 1.2°F), Fairbanks with 60.4°F (deviation also +0.7°F), Barrow with 35.2°F (deviation +0.2°F) and Juneau with 57.5°F (deviation +0.1°F). For Big Delta the June temperature matched the long-term mean of 57.5°F, while Anchorage with 54.0°F (deviation - 0.7°F) and King Salmon with 48.7°F (deviation -2.2°F) were colder when compared to the 30-year norm.
Fairbanks reported on the 25th of June a temperature of 88°F. While not a new maximum for the day, it was remarkable insofar, that strong thunderstorm activity was reported in the evening and 4,300 lightning strikes were recorded for this day, which ignited 10 new wildfires in the Interior Alaska. No new high temperatures were set in June in Alaska, however, on the 16th of June a minimum temperature of a chilly 38°F was observed for Valdez, which was cooler than the old record low of 41°F, which was set in 1985. Further, Bethel Airport reported on the 28th June a maximum temperature of 47°F. This is a very low maximum temperature of the day, and one has to go back to 1952 to find the same low temperature. King Salmon reported 30°F on the 2nd of June, and was the last day of frost. This tied the record low for the day, which was previously set in 1991 and the low temperature of 35°F on the 23rd of June broke the old record set in 1949 by one degree.
Precipitation was varied with about half the stations reporting above normal values, while the rest were seasonably too dry. Precipitation values are expressed as percentages of normal; this means that values above 100% are amounts above the expected values, while values below 100% indicate a shortage of precipitation when compared to the long term mean. King Salmon in southwestern Alaska reported 2.77", or 163% of the normal of 0.94". In Nome, further north along the Bering Sea coast, the precipitation (0.86") was 75% of normal. Barrow in the Arctic, reported 0.54", which represent 169% of normal, as the precipitation is light north of the Brooks Range. Fairbanks recorded 1.77" or 126% of normal. However, substantially more precipitation was recorded in the upper Chena Basin; large variations are typical for the summer season for the Interior region, due to shower activity caused by thunderstorms, which are more patchy than precipitation due to frontal activity. The Chena River was close to flood stage, and on the Salcha River some minor flooding did occur. Juneau reported 4.25", or 126% of normal. On the 14th 1.03" of rain was measured, a new record for this day, surpassing previous maximum amount of 0.66", recorded in 1951. Ketchikan had a monthly sum of 2.84", only 41% of the expected value, as southeast Alaska experiences a large amount of rain. The Anchorage precipitation value (1.19") was 112%, which is slightly above normal. Precipitation (2.00") was below normal for Big Delta, totaling 81% of the expected amount. However, on the 28th June a new record rainfall was observed with a total 0.74", surpassing the old record for the day of 0.42", which was set in 1948.
A strong storm was observed in the Aleutians in late June, and new record wind speeds were recorded at Cold Bay. On the 23rd of June, a gust of 31 mph was recorded, surpassing the old record by 1 mph. On the 25th a gust of 51 mph was observed, surpassing the previous value of 45 mph set in 2007, and once again on the following day, a new daily record of 58 mph was observed, again surpassing the previous value of 45 mph, which had also been set in 2007.
July's temperatures were generally close to normal for all of Alaska with the exception of the Bering Sea Region, which was much colder than normal. Nome measured 48.6°F, having the greatest negative deviation of 4.0°F, followed by King Salmon (-3.7°F). Other stations with negative deviations in declining order were Ketchikan with 56.8°F (deviation -0.9°F), Juneau 55.9°F (deviation also -0.9°F), Fairbanks with 61.7°F (deviation -0.8°F) and Anchorage 57.8°F (deviation -0.6°F). Barrow, which has had a strong temperature increase over the last decade, measured 41.9°F, a positive deviation of 1.5°F, while Big Delta's July temperature was 1.0°F above the normal of 57.5°F.
Precipitation was varied, but was generally above normal. Nome and Ketchikan were very wet with nearly twice the monthly precipitation, while Kodiak was drier than average. In the Interior, where thunderstorms and showers frequently occur in the summer, large variation in the amount of precipitation can be found over short distances. For example, Fairbanks reported 1.73", just a tiny amount (2%) below normal, while at Angle Creek in the upper Chena Basin 4.83" were measured. Further, the rainfall in Ketchikan in the 1st of the month was remarkable with an amount of 3.69", setting a new record for this day. It surpasses the old record by about 1/3, which was set in 1917 at 2.49".
Early in the month, a strong storm occurred in the Bering Sea. In Cold Bay, in the Aleutians, a peak wind speed of 54 mph was recorded on the 5th July, surpassing the previous wind maximum of this day (44 mph) set in 2009. The following day a peak wind speed of 49 mph was reported breaking the old record in 2009 by 5 mph. On the 8th July a peak wind speed of 54 mph was measured, surpassing the old record of 2008 by 3 mph.
August was seasonally cooler than normal in Alaska with 17 of the 20 stations reporting below normal values. The mean monthly deviation of all stations was 1.1°F below the long-term climatic value.High negative deviations (<-2°F) were observed in declining order for Juneau (-2.9°F), King Salmon (-2.5°F) and Nome (-2.1°F), while Barrow (+3.1°F) was substantially warmer and no frost occurred at that station in August, which is unusual. The only other 2 stations, which reported above normal temperatures were Fairbanks (+1.1°F) and Yakutat (+0.6°F), an indication that negative deviations were widespread and fairly uniform.
Precipitation was for most stations above normal in August, with a maximum in Southeast Alaska, reporting nearly twice the expected amount. The mean value for all stations was 25% above normal. 65% of the stations gave above normal values, while 35% were drier. Far above normal values were reported for Annette (210%), Juneau (187%) and Kodiak (163%), while Cold Bay was the driest with 64% of the expected amount. In Juneau, precipitation totaled 10.72". This value came close to the maximum amount ever observed in August, which was set in 2006 at 11.02". As might be deduced from the high precipitation amount in Juneau, sky cover averaged 90%, with 30 cloudy days and some rain occurring on 28 days of the month.
September was seasonally warmer in Alaska with 13 of the 20 stations reporting above normal values. The mean monthly deviation of all stations was 1.1°F above the long-term climatic value.High positive deviations (>2°F) were observed in declining order for Barrow (4.6°F), Fairbanks (4.3°F), Bettles (4.0°F), Big Delta (3.9°F), McGrath (3.0°F), Nome and Kotzebue (both 2.3°F). As the month before, Barrow in the North recorded the highest monthly positive deviation. Temperatures below the long-term mean were measured at coastal stations, they were fewer in amount when compared to the positive values. Here we list of the stations with more than 1°F negative deviation in declining order: Cold Bay (-2.0°F), Homer (-1.4°F) Juneau and St Paul Island (both -1.2°F).
Even of greater importance than the generally above normal temperatures, was the late occurrence of frost, especially for gardeners and agriculture. No temperature below the freezing point (32°F) was observed during September for Juneau, Ketchikan and Anchorage; however, on the 26th a minimum temperature of 32°F was observed for the latter station. Furthermore, the 26th of September brought the first frost to Fairbanks, Big Delta and King Salmon.
Precipitation was mostly below normal in September. Only 3 stations were substantially wetter than normal, namely Kodiak (213%), Annette (192%) and Barrow (128%) of normal. Yakutat (deviation from norm -3%) and Juneau (+1%) were very close to normal, while the other 15 stations gave below normal values, with many stations less than half of the expected values, especially in Interior Alaska. Gulkana measured 23% of normal, Talkeetna 25%, Anchorage and Big Delta each 26%, to mention only the most extreme. The mean of the 20 stations gave a value of 75% of normal.
October was a pleasant month for most of Alaska with 16 of the 20 stations reporting above normal temperatures. Bettles (+6.5°F), Barrow (+5.6°F), McGrath (+5.4°F), Fairbanks (+4.7°F) and Big Delta (+4.3°F) were especially warm, when compared to the 30-year mean. Even the four stations, which were seasonally too cold, were still close to normal with the following values: Nome (-0.7°F), St Paul Island (-0.3°F), Juneau (-0.2°F) and Annette (-0.1°F). The mean value of the 20 stations was calculated as a positive temperature deviation of 2.3°F.
Precipitation records for October were mixed, 10 stations recorded values above the expected value, while 10 stations were below the norm. The mean of the 20 stations gave the exact long-term mean value. Only 3 stations were substantially wet, namely Barrow (276%), Kotzebue (173%) and King Salmon (156%) of normal. Less than half of the expected precipitation values were observed especially in Interior Alaska. Big Delta measured 24% of normal, Gulkana 36% Fairbanks 39% and Talkeetna 40%.
November was substantially colder than normal in Alaska with all stations reporting below normal values. The mean monthly deviation of all stations was 6.8°F below the long-term climatic value. This is in contrast to the previous month, when 79% of the stations reported temperatures above the long term mean.Very high negative deviations were observed in declining order for Big Delta (-11.1°F), McGrath (-11.0°F), Fairbanks and Talkeetna (both -10.8°F), Bethel (-10.2°F), Nome (-9.5°F), Homer(-8.4°F), Anchorage (-8.2°F) and Kotzebue (-8.0°F). It can be seen that the largest deviations were found in the Interior and western Alaska. Stations relatively close to the long term mean, but nevertheless colder than normal, were: St. Paul Island (-0.6°F), Barrow (-0.9°F) and Cold Bay (-1.1°F), all coastal or island stations. Coastal stations are under the maritime influence, as the large water body nearby makes deviations less pronounced. However, this was not the case for all stations, see for example Nome.
There were 2 major events, which occurred during the month. First, at the beginning of the month, a strong storm occurred, associated with record high wind speeds and a large amount of snowfall. This event was pronounced in South and West Alaska. Secondly, shortly after the middle of the month, the advection of an arctic air-mass brought record low temperature to most of Alaska. This event caused the temperatures to be much colder than expected for November. Numerous new record low temperatures were reported. For Fairbanks the coldest temperature occurred on the 17th with -41°F. In November temperatures below -40°F are seldom observed in Interior Alaska, and for Fairbanks one has to go back to 1994 to find such a low temperature. The absolute record low during the cold spell is held by Manley Hotsprings, some 100 miles WNW from Fairbanks with a value of -54°F.
Precipitation records for November were mixed, 8 stations recorded values above the expected value, while 12 stations were below the norm. The mean of the deviations expressed as percentages gave exactly a value of 0%. Only 2 stations were substantially wet, namely Anchorage with 100% and King Salmon with 96% above normal. At the other end of the scale were Big Delta and Nome with 40% of the expected value, followed by Bettles (51%), Homer (57%) and Talkeetna (58%). At first glance, the normal precipitation value for Alaska as a whole is surprising, as Alaska was much colder in November, hence less than normal precipitation might be expected. However, at the beginning of the month, a strong storm hit Alaska, bringing large amounts of rain and snow to places. On the 1st of November the storm hit South Alaska. The only road connection of Valdez to the rest of Alaska had to be closed in the Thompson Pass area. Wind speeds in the area were 85 mph, with gusts up to 120 mph. Visibility was extremely poor. In Juneau and the Kenai Peninsula (Homer, Soldotna, Kenai, Nikiski, Sterling, Kasinof) power outages were reported due to downed transmission lines. Somewhat later, snow and hurricane-force winds battered the Alaskan West-Coast. It was the strongest storm in nearly 40 years, ripping off roofs and forcing some residents to board their windows and look for higher ground. On St. Paul Island the wind speed reached 70 mph, which set a new record for any November. In some of the native villages (e.g. Tunanak and Kipnuk) the water reached some homes. However, on the positive side, the 14ft rock seawall, which was built to protect the village of Kivalina from coastal erosion, held.
December brought relief with mostly above normal temperatures after the extremely cold November. Twelve of the stations were seasonally above normal, with very high positive deviations. In declining order these are: Gulkana (11.1°F), Fairbanks (8.1°F), Big Delta (7.5°F), McGrath (6.9°F) and Anchorage (4.4°F). The 8 stations which were seasonally below normal were much closer to normal, with a maximal deviation of -3.0°F observed for Nome. The mean monthly deviation of all stations could be calculated as 2.1°F above the long-term climatic value.
Normally, the 3 winter months of December, January and February are the coldest of the year, which can be clearly seen from the long-term averages. However, in 2011 15 of the 20 stations analyzed were colder in November than in December, which is quite unusual. In addition, one station (Kodiak) had the identical temperature of 28.4°F for both months. The greatest difference in temperature was found in Gulkana (12.7°F) and Fairbanks (12.2°F), with December being substantially warmer than November. Not only the mean temperatures, but also the minima were frequently lower in November than in December. In general, for the first two-thirds of December, above normal temperatures were observed, but during the last 10 days of the month the temperature dropped sharply, with lower monthly minima observed towards the end of the month.
Precipitation totals for December were in general above average; 18 stations measured values above expectation, while only two stations were below the norm, one of these only slightly so (Annette -4%). The other (Kodiak) recorded a lower value by -38%. The mean of the deviations expressed as percentages gave a value of +78%, a substantial deviation for such a large area as Alaska, or differently expressed, Alaska was wet in December with, on average, nearly 80% additional rain or snowfall. The most extreme values expressed as percentages above normal were found in Barrow (329%), Bettles (251%), McGrath (162%), Kotzebue (146%), Anchorage (138%) and Talkeetna (111%).
Looking at snowfall, again expressed as percentage above or below normal, Barrow had the highest deviation (+349%), followed by Kotzebue (+205%) and Valdez (+112%). On the other side of the spectrum, Annette, in the southeast corner of Alaska, reported a deviation of -64%. However, it should be pointed out that only 15 of the 20 stations supplied snowfall observations.
December brought quite a number of special events. A storm brought strong winds, warm air and precipitation. On the 1st of December a temperature of 54°F was recorded in Big Delta, a new record for this day, smashing the old record of 42°F set in 1976. An increase in a record by 12°F is rare, and this was an extraordinary event. It was caused by strong southerly flow across the Alaska Range –so called Chinook winds, which are gusty. The air is cooled moist-adiabatical when it rises due to precipitation on the south side, but descends dry-adiabatical on the north side of the range. As the dry adiabatical rate is higher than the moist-adiabatic rate, the air arrives warmer in Interior Alaska, when compared to the temperature it started out with on the south side of the Range.
The storm, which moved over Alaska at the beginning of the month, brought a wind gust of 74 mph on the 3rd of December at St. Paul Island in the Southern Bering, and two days later a gust of 118mph was recorded at Glen Alps. On the 4th, the maximum temperature of +47°F was recorded in Fairbanks - a balmy temperature, for Interior Alaska in winter. A mean temperature for the day was 37°F, a rare event, as mean daily temperatures above freezing are infrequent in winter in Fairbanks. Also on the 4th, at Barrow in Northern Alaska, average wind speeds were recorded at 30 mph, with gusts exceeding 50 mph. These are high, uncommon values, however they do not represent new records. More unique was the precipitation record of Barrow with 0.33" (water-equivalent), beating the previous record for the 4th December of 0.19 set in 1922. This was associated with a new snowfall record of 6.5", surpassing the old record of 2.5" set on the same day in 1922. Both these values are in fact new records for all days in December. The previously highest precipitation amount for any day in December had occurred on 13th December 1930 with 0.26", and the highest amount of snowfall (5.0") had been observed on 29th December 1922. Also Nome and Kotzebue reported new snowfall and precipitation records. Further, in Valdez 2.80" of precipitation were recorded on the 4th, which more than doubled the old record of 1.37" set in 1984.

Jasmin Cardenas, The Performance by Briana Samano
The story that Jasmin had told, was about how she was as a little girl and she had her friends from school come over to her house. And when she was saying the story she made a point to different cultures and religions. She did this by showing her friends when she came over that it is ok to be different, it is ok to have difference in you, because that is what makes you, you. She made her story with power. She showed that all religions are fun no matter how weird you think it is.
The performance with Jasmin Cardenas was very powerful. She really was in the mood to go up on that stage and show the amazing stories that she had prepared for us. She had put her voice and her emotions into the stories that she was saying. She had put in body motion and talent into this story. She really was prepared and ready to go and fly with these stories that she was telling. Her loud voice was showing that she was ready to go on and make her story have a point.
When I had left the the auditorium I was really into the story that she had made. I was still in the moment. I felt like she was going on and on with the story. She had really gotten into the point.

Croydon boss Liam Giles brings in Gary Davies as his joint-assistant manager
CROYDON manager Liam Giles has appointed a new member of his management team.
The Trams suffered a miserable campaign last time out as they finished rock bottom of the Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division table, having collected three wins and two draws from their 38 league outings.
Croydon manager Liam Giles could not prevent the club suffering relegation along with Rusthall during his 12 games in charge at the Croydon Sports Arena based outfit.
Giles took charge of the clubs last 12 league games of the season and suffered nine defeats during that period, collecting two draws and a 1-0 home win over Crowborough Athletic.
Croydon will be playing in the tenth-tier of English football next season and Giles has set up three open trial dates in June as he re-builds his squad.
Each trial will be held at Coney Hall Recreation Ground, Church Drive, West Wickham BR4 9JJ on Thursday 6 June (19:00); Saturday 8 June (11:00) and Thursday 13 June (19:00).
Croydon have appointed Gary Davies as their new assistant manager, following his departure from Southern Counties East Football League First Division side Holmesdale.
John Gladwin stays on as a member of Croydon's management team, as joint-assistant manager with Davies.
Giles said: "I'm very happy with this addition to my management team. Pleased to have Gary on board. He has a wealth of experience."


PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — On Tuesday, 522 people officially became U.S. citizens at a massive ceremony at the South Florida Fair.
America's newest citizens, who are from 65 different counties, took the Oath of Allegiance during a naturalization ceremony at the fairgrounds in suburban West Palm Beach.
Among the group was 105 teenagers and young adults from 25 countries who also received their certificates of citizenship.
The ceremony came on the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court decided not at act on a move by the Trump administration to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.
Because of the Supreme Court's decision not to act, nearly 700,000 undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children can stay in America for at least the next several months.


In December 2015, world leaders faced a fundamental dilemma: take strong action to address the risks associated with climate change, OR see the ability to limit this threat slip from their grasp at #COP21 in Paris-Le Bourget. Check out how the OECD contributed to a successful outcome.

Writer * Producer * Costume Designer
I am a writer, director, producer and voice actor based out of Brooklyn, New York, originally from Wilmington, Delaware. I have worked in the fashion industry for many years, but film is my passion. I recently produced, starred, and served as a costume designer for Harlem Love, which features Sonia Sanchez as the poet and voice for the film. Presently I embarking on my own personal journey as a filmmaker to write, direct, and executive produce my film, Don't Forget to Breathe.
My writing roots
The youngest of two daughters of a single mother -- with my mother always working and my older sister buried in her books, I found entertainment in TV anthologies of the 80's and 90's, such as The Ray Bradbury Theater, The Outer Limits, and reruns of the classic shows The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock presents, and Night Gallery series.
My sister infused her love for thrillers when one day she was reading Night Shift by Stephen King. I curiously asked her what the story was about and she read her the story from cover to cover. I was hooked! As she continued reading to me my imagination began to fill with stories from psychological thrillers/horror masters like Wes Craven, John Carpenter, and V.C. Andrews.
My goal as an emerging black female filmmaker is to create and produce films that dispel the belief that female writers don't have a place in science fiction writing which contributes to the current status of this male-dominated genre. Creating content that aims to expand the viewership of women and people of color who do not frequently see themselves portrayed in this genre.
Drop me a line!

Luckily I already have flat feet… So the damage wasn't too great.
And it is based on good ol' Gin and colonial Quinine, how can all of this not be good for you on a sunny day?
However yesterday, instead of succumbing to a jug of PIMMS I decided to experiment for myself. I will be having a leaving party soon and I am planning to make a special Punch to tie together both drinking traditions. It took the best part of the afternoon to get the mixture right, but in the end I think I got it.

21. Q. R. to K's sq. It is seldom indeed that Mr. Morphy commits so palpable a blunder as this is 22. Q. to R's 3rd.
22. Kt. to B's 4th. 23. Kt. takes R.
23. R. takes Kt. 24. K. R. to Q's sq
24. R. to Q's sq. 25. P. to Kt's 4th.
25. Kt. to Q's 5th. 26. K. to R's sq.
26. Kt. to K's 7th. This also is an error, and gives White an opportunity of drawing the game. The correct play is Q. to K's 3rd. 27. Q. takes B's P.
27. Kt. takes R. 28. R. to Q's 6th.
28. Kt. to B's 3rd. 29. Q. to B's 6th (ch.) 29. K. to Kt's sq. 30. Q. to K's 6th (ch.)
And draws by perpetual check.
GAME VII.
(Remove Black's K. Bos P.) WHITE. (" Alter.") BLACK. (Mr. M.) 1. P. to K's 4th.
1. Kt. to Q. B's 3rd. 2. P. to Q's 4th.
2. P. to K's 4th. 3. Kt. to K. B's 3rd. P. takes P. is the correct move, and by so playing the attack may be maintained.
3. P. takes P. 4. B. to Q. B's 4th.
4. Q. to B's 3rd. 5. Castles.
5. P. to Q's 3rd. 6. Kt. to Kt's 5th.
6. Kt. to R's 3rd. 7. P. to Q. B's 3rd. At this point P. to K. B's 4th would have been a good move.
7. B. to Kt's 5th. 8. P. to B's 3rd
8. B. to Q's 2nd. 9. B. to Q's 5th.
9. P. takes P. 10. Q's Kt. takes P.
10. B. to K's 2nd. 11. Kt. to Kt's 5th.
11. B. to Q's sq. 12. P. to B's 4th.
12. Kt. to K's 2nd. Mr. Morphy has a most happy knack of extricating himself from a difficulty, this we believe was the only move to avert the danger with which he was threatened.
13. Kt. to Q. B's 3rd.
If 13. P. t) K's 5th, the following moves would probably have ensued :
13. P. takes P. 14. P. takes P.
14. Q. to Kt's 3rd (ch.) 15. K. to R's sq.
15. Kt. takes B. 16. Q. takes Kt.
16. Q. takes Kt. Winning a piece.
13. B. to Kt's 5th. 14. Q. to Kt's 3rd.
14. P. to B's 3rd. 15. P. to K's 5th.
Taking the Kt's P. with Queen would only have lost time, as Black would have answered with R. to Q. B's sq. If White had then retreated the Bishop, Black by checking with Bishop, and following that move with R. to B's 2nd, would have been enabled to develope his game.
15. P. takes P. 16. Q. Kt. to K's 4th. 16. B. to Kt's 3rd (ch.) 17. K. to R's sq.
17. Q. to Kt's 3rd. 18. B. to B's 7th (ch.) 18. Kt. takes B. 19. Kt. takes Kt.
19. Kt. to Q's 4th. Black dare not attempt to save the Rook by R. to K. B's sq., on account of Q. Kt. to Q's 6th (ch.), which would have caused the loss of the Queen. 20. Q. Kt. to Q's 6th (ch.) 20. K. to K's 2nd. 21. P. to B's 5th.
21. Q. to R's 4th. 22. B. to Kt's 5th (ch.) 22. K. to Q's 2nd. 23. Q. to Kt's 3rd.
23. B. to B's 2nd.
The best possible move. 24. Q. takes P.
24. Q. R. to K's sq. 25. Q. takes P. If Q. to Kts 3rd, Black would have derived an advantage from K. R.
to B's sq.
25. B. takes Kt. K. R. to Kt's sq. would have produced the desired result more speedily. We append two diagrams shewing the position here, and after Black's 30th move of B. to R's 6th :
26. Kt. to K's 5th (double ch.) 26. K. to B's sg. 27. Q. to Q's 7th (ch.)
27. K. to Kt's sq. 28. Q. takes B. (ch.)

32. Kt. takes B. 33. R. takes Kt.
33. K. R. to Kt's sq. (ch.) And wins the game and the match.
BLINDFOLD GAMES.
BLINDFOLD GAMES AT BIRMINGHAM.
The following Games were played (without sight of the chessboard or pieces) by Mr. Morphy at Birmingham, on the 27th August, 1858, during the Anniversary Meeting of the British Chess Association in that town. On this occasion the Ameri. can champion had eight opponents : Lord Lyttleton; the Rev. Mr. Salmon ; Mr. J. Kipping, (Hon. Secretary to the Manchester Chess Club); Mr. Avery, (President of the Birmingham Chess Club); Mr. Carr, (Hon. Secretary to the Leamington Chess Club); Dr. Freeman, (Hon. Secretary to the Birmingham Chess Club); Mr. Rhodes, of the Leeds Club; and Mr. W. R. Wills, (Hon. Secretary of the British Chess Association). It is almost unnecessary to say that Mr. Morphy's extraordinary feat excited the wonder and admiration of the brilliant gathering at this time assembled from all parts of the kingdom; and it is also equally unnecessary to dilate upon the peculiar genius he manifested. It
may here suffice to state that Mr. Morphy gained six out of the eight games; Mr. Kipping won his game; and another was drawn by Mr. Avery.
BOARD No. 1.- ALLGAIER GAMBIT.
Mr. Morphy and Lord Lyttleton.

4. P. to Kt's 5th. 5. Kt. to K's 5th.
5. P. to Q's 3rd. A favourite defence of Kieseritzky's, but one which, according to Jaenisch, renders the maintenance of the Gambit Pawn an impossibility. 6. Kt. takes Kt's P.
6. B. to K's 2nd. 7. P. to Q's 4th.
7. B. takes P. (ch.) 8. Kt. to B's 2nd.

8. Q. to Kt's 4th. 9. Q. to B's 3rd.
9. B. to Kt's 6th. 10. Kt. to B's 3rd.
10. Kt. to K. B's 3rd. 11. B. to Q's 2nd.

11. Kt. takes P. (ch.) 12. Kt. takes Kt.
12. Q. takes Kt. We give a diagram, from which it will be seen how simply and expeditiously Mr. Morphy finished off the game :


Summer residency at Pacific University concluded with Ellen Bass speaking about sentiment versus sentimentality, all the pomp and circumstance of formal graduation for many of my friends, and the mother of all wiffle ball games in the wet grass between the dorms. I am still exhausted two days later.
If there is a single word to describe these residencies for me it is confluence. The coming together of writers and poets from all reaches, Oregon to Hong Kong, Idaho to India. The coming together of ideas and stories, poetry of deep emotion or vital hilarity, each of us brimming with passion and the love of craft.
This was the last full residency for me. The next one will be my thesis presentation and the culmination of my degree. It doesn't feel like nearly two years. Nor does the next stretch of six months seem like an adequate amount of time to finish this phase of learning.
I remember telling one of my dear professors, Dr. Merlin Cheney at Weber State University, how it felt like the more I learned the less I knew. It is the same now. As if the world has opened up to me, and I stand as the tiniest being on the brink of something immense.
So begins the work for the final stretch.


You may have heard of horror stories about a plumber that is inexperience that ruined the plumbing system of someone. If this happens to you, imagine how stressing the situation is going to be. You are aware of how crucial it is to choose a plumber that is well experienced. The plumber that you choose should be one that has a good reputation. If you want to be certain that your plumbing system is going to be in good hands, there are aspects that you should put into consideration. Discussed below are some of the things that you should look into when selecting the ideal plumber.
For starters prioritize the aspect of proper licensing. This factor should not be taken lightly. The first that you should find out if the plumber certified insured and licensed by the relevant organization in the state. You may live in a state that does not need licensing. Even so, you can still go ahead and find out if any complaints exist on the plumber. Avoid any plumber that has a case filed against them.
The business experience of the contractor should be looked into. Expectations to the rule exist may exist. Even if that is the case before you choose to settle on any plumber make sure that you find out for how long the plumber has been offering their services. You can rest assured that an experienced plumber is going to have the job handled properly the initial time. A plumber that lacks enough experience may end up doing the job wrongly the first time. In case things go this way both your time and money will have been wasted. If the plumbing issue had interfered with your daily activities then this would mean more frustration for you.
Price of the plumber should be put into consideration. the plumber should first give you their price quote before you make up your mind whether they are your ideal choice. Being careful is a must. Reason being at time price can be related to the quality of service that you will get. This means that you are not supposed to choose a plumber just because they are offering you a low price. Nevertheless, you are supposed to always ensure that the price of the plumber you are considering is fair as well as competitive before you make up your mind on hiring them.
To finish with there is the element of references. This is so important. A plumber should give you references after which you can decide whether or not to enlist them. A reputable plumber will not have a hard time providing you with the references.

McCain: Airstrikes Show Russia Propping Up Assad
Oct. 1, 2015 | By Brian W. Everstine
The Russian airstrikes in Syria appear to show Russian President Vladimir Putin's "true intentions" in that country—to prop up Syrian President Bashar al Assad and maintain a strong foothold in the Middle East, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said on the Senate floor Wednesday. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that 27 people were killed in Russian airstrikes, including six children, in an area not controlled by ISIS, McCain said. The Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, long in opposition to President Obama's policy in Syria, said American indecision and caution has been taken as weakness by Russia, allowing Putin to begin striking at targets that oppose Assad. Inaction in Syria "has confused our friends and encouraged our enemies," McCain said.


17th century Danish silver mark -- can you help?
Can you help to identify this mark? It is on the bottom of a silver wedding beaker (″cherub″ cup) from 1647 that has been in our family for generations. Fleur de lis? Cross? There is a very square letter H that straddles the line that descends from the center.
I would be most grateful for your help. Knowing the maker will help us very much with determining the history of the cup as well as its value.

Ciau Masino è un ciclo di racconti e poesie dello scrittore italiano Cesare Pavese scritto tra il settembre del 1931 e il febbraio del 1932 che, rimasto per lungo tempo inedito, venne pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1968 da Einaudi nel volume dei "Racconti".

L'opera si articola in brevi racconti divisi, due alla volta, da una poesia che serve ad intercalare e a dare la scansione del racconto. I protagonisti delle parti narrate sono il giovane giornalista Masino e l'operaio Masin.

Trama

Masino, che frequenta Torino assiduamente, conosce uno strano tipo di musicista al bar ("Il Blues delle Cicche"), fa una gita in barca con alcuni amici sul fiume Po ("L'acqua del Po"), va spesso al cinematografo e ha modo di conoscere e frequentare i luoghi periferici della città e ad assistere alle retate fatte dalla polizia ("Arcadia"), conosce una donna e intreccia una avventura sentimentale ("Masino padre"), con l'amico Hoffmann, che gli parla delle esperienze della vita, va in collina ("Hoffman") e fa un'altra gita sul Po, ma l'amico cade in acqua ed egli si spaventa perché lo crede morto ("Religiosamente"), parte poi per l'America e a questo punto hanno termine le sue esperienze giovanili ("Mare").

Masino invece, che è stato appena congedato, subisce subito delle esperienze negative: trova lavoro in uno studio ma si trova male, diventa poi collaudatore di automobili e investe un uomo ubriaco uccidendolo ("Congedato"), decide quindi di abbandonare Torino e si reca a Santo Stefano Belbo ("La Langa"), trascorre il tempo girovagando per le colline e diventa servitore di una famiglia benestante ("La zoppa"), ritorna in seguito a Torino dove conosce una ballerina della quale si innamora ("Ospedale"), la sposa ma lei lo tradisce ("I cantastorie"), fa ritorno nelle Langhe ("Masin della chitarra") dove viene arrestato e messo in carcere per aver ucciso la moglie ("Carogne").

Analisi dell'opera
In Ciau Masino sono presenti numerosi richiami autobiografici, come la presenza di Santo Stefano Belbo, delle Langhe, del Po, delle colline di Torino e del mito americano e appaiono, in forma ancora provvisoria, tutti quei temi che verranno approfonditi nella successiva produzione. I protagonisti, Masino nella figura dell'intellettuale e Masin, l'operaio incapace di mettere radici in uno specifico ambiente sociale, rappresentano i due aspetti della personalità di Pavese: il piacere dell'evasione e la tendenza a chiudersi in se stesso.

L'opera può considerarsi sperimentale non solo per la sua struttura particolare di alternanza tra narrativa e poesia ma anche per l'utilizzo del dialetto. Pavese infatti tenta in questa sua prima opera giovanile di riprodurre la parlata dei personaggi senza però intaccare il linguaggio della narrazione ma applicandolo solamente nelle parti dialogate.

Air pollution makes catching Covid-19 likelier, study says
George Scott
Editor- environmental activist
People who have been exposed to high levels of air pollution may be more susceptible to infection with Covid-19, a study has found.
Research conducted in the city of Varese, north of Milan, reported that "air pollutants can serve as carriers"
The research, which looked at people in northern Italy, found a clear link between living in areas with persistently high pollution and the chances of getting infected.
While it was impossible to prove that one caused the other, the scientists behind the study said that it suggested that combating air pollution could be a way to lessen the burden of Covid as countries emerge from the pandemic — as well as bringing other health benefits.
"Our results imply a higher disease pressure in the most polluted areas, which already experience a higher burden of non-communicable diseases due to the same exposures," they write in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
The work involved looking at 62,000 citizens of the city of Varese, using their addresses to estimate their exposure to air pollution. Then, until March last year scientists tracked their infections.
The strongest link came in fine particulate pollution — tiny droplets or particles in the air. Average exposure was 12.5 micrograms per cubic metre, about 1 microgram per cubic metre less than in London.
The research found that for every microgram rise the chance of infection rose correspondingly by 5 per cent.
Although the researchers tried to correct for other factors it is possible that it was not pollution causing the rise in infections. For example, people in more polluted areas may also live closer to each other.
However, they said, there were reasons to suppose the link might be genuine — with pollution itself causing the rise in susceptibility.
"From a mechanistic point of view, air pollution has a well-recognised role in prolonged inflammation and downregulation of the immune system," they write.
This means that it might directly make people less likely to fight off infection, and also indirectly cause some of the illness, such as heart disease that then makes people more at risk.
There was also the intriguing possibility, they said, that the pollution itself could aid with the spreading — by helping coronavirus particles to spread and stay aloft longer.
"Air pollutants can serve as carriers and vehiculate the virus, favouring its survival in the air," they write.
The effect appeared to be more marked the older that people were. "Our findings provide the first solid empirical evidence for the hypothesised pathway linking long-term exposure to air pollution with the incidence of Covid-19, and deserve future generalisation in different contexts."
