Wakefield is a city in West Yorkshire, England, on the River Calder and the eastern edge of the Pennines, which had a population of 99,251 at the 2011 census. Wakefield was dubbed the "Merrie City" in the Middle Ages and in 1538 John Leland described it as, "a very quick market town and meately large; well served of fish and flesh both from sea and by rivers ... so that all vitaile is very good and chepe there. A right honest man shall fare well for 2d. a meal. ... There be plenti of se coal in the quarters about Wakefield". The Battle of Wakefield took place in the Wars of the Roses and it was a Royalist stronghold in the Civil War. Wakefield became an important market town and centre for wool, exploiting its position on the navigable River Calder to become an inland port.

Advantages of Open Source
Thinking retrospectively, I think I missed two things really important on my latest post, so this one is meant to fill the gap.
The good thing from the "bug hunt"
While I didn't like the bug hunt and even criticized it, there's a really good side on this, thanks to the Portuguese Ministry of Justice.
They're trying to make their best, or at least it seems so. They didn't just spit out some silly website (I was tempted to have links for "silly website", but we had enough examples from Portugal in the last few weeks, so they're really not needed) that only works on IE or something like that. Even this issue - the site works on Mozilla browsers (SeaMonkey and Firefox) but those browsers aren't able to see the security certificate as a valid one, and they're trying to fix that. While this could be qualified as "just doing their job", unfortunately this care isn't common, so they' deserve some kudos from that.
They're avoiding one slow bureocratic process of opening a public request, having people/companies wanting to do the job, choosing "the right one" and so on. Instead, they've seen an easier and better opportunity: since anyone can fiddle with the (open) code, they're just saying "Hey, there's this thing over here that would be really cool if someone did it. Why don't you have a try? If you make it we'll give you 1000 €!".
An advantage of Open Source
And the latest point leads me to another, perheaps the most important lesson to take out of this example: this is only possible because Mozilla's browsers are Open Source. See, since the code is open and freely available, anyone (at all!) is elegible to do the job - and that's great for every side: the Ministry of Justice can have their problem solved without having to contact some vendor and convince them that their piece of software does something that they don't like and have a virtually unlimited number of possible coders (if this was IE, for instance, do you think that anyone but Microsoft employees were to do the job?). Even Mozilla ends winning, because they don't have to do anything but reviewing a patch when the fix is done. Awsome, right?
It's scary the number of times I still get to hear stuff like "but are there any real companies betting/using Open Source software?"... It's not only a number that is rising, but finaly companies are starting to see the real power behind Open Source. Also, I remember talking with some Siemens' workers that said stuff like "yeah, we use Open Source stuff internally, but why do you think that they would let us contribute with bug fixes or enhancements? That would be giving our work to the other companies in the field!" What is missing here is that, even if you don't care a little bit about Open Source, there are lot's of advantages on contributing, and giving back. Let's get real - forking software is a pain in the ass. If you keep changing the original code and never merge stuff with the original branch, you'll end loosing endless hours of porting changes from the original branch into yourse, or, even worse, you'll stop looking into the original branch, which includes loosing lots of security or bug fixes, enhancements and new features. If you give back your changes, they're automaticly maintained - by the community. In other scenario, if you contribute fresh code (a new project, a new functionality, whatever) by releasing it in an Open Source model, you'll eventually get more users testing, helping, and enhancing your code. For free.
Well, this post is getting bigger than I wanted it to, so I'll shut up by now and have some sleep ;-)

Ireland withdraws public money from fossil fuel investments
January 7, 2019 Ellie CohenLeave a comment
by Charlie Taylor January 4, 2019 read full article here
Ireland Strategic Investment Fund divests from 38 companies, raising €68m
The Department of Finance confirmed on Friday that the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF), a State body controlled and managed by the National Treasury Management Agency, has divested from 38 fossil fuel companies.
The divestment, which was worth a combined €68 million, saw the fund selling off its shares in companies involved in oil, gas and other fossil fuels.
ISIF, which published a list of 148 fossil fuel companies in which it said it will not invest, is expected to continue to divest in such companies while also increasing investment in clean energy projects. Its portfolio already includes a range of wind farms, solar power and other renewable energy projects.
The €7.9 billion fund, which was designed to support economic activity and employment in Ireland, replaced the National Pensions Reserve Fund in 2010.
"The passing of this legislation marks Ireland out as one of the first countries in the world to withdraw public money from investment in fossil fuels," said the Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe. "It positions the ISIF as one of a handful of sovereign wealth funds globally to implement a fossil fuel divestment strategy'.
How we can combat climate change
Wash Post Editorial Staff January 2 2019 read full Washington Post article here
The world has until 2030 to drastically cut our emissions. Where do we begin?
Last year's report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change sounded the alarm: The world has until 2030 to implement "rapid and far-reaching" changes to our energy, infrastructure and industrial systems to avoid 2 degrees Celsius of warming, which could be catastrophic. But the scale of the challenge can appear so overwhelming that it's hard to know where to start. The Post asked activists, politicians and researchers for climate policy ideas that offer hope. Radical change from one state, or even the whole United States, won't address climate change on its own, but taking these actions could help start the planet down a path toward a better future.
11 policy ideas to protect the planet
Set local emissions goals
Be smart about your air conditioner
Encourage electric vehicles
Be smart about nuclear power
Make it easier to live without cars
Prevent wasted food — the right way

A Valedictory Visit With Ellie Cohen as the CEO Leaves Point – from Bay Nature
By David Loeb for Bay Nature
Read the full Bay Nature article here
By the time I got out of my car at the Petaluma headquarters of Point Blue Conservation Science on the morning of November 8, the sky had already turned a sickly yellowish tan. On the drive up from Berkeley, I had started noticing what first appeared to be yellow fog to the northeast, while the sky remained clear and blue to the west. Strange, I thought; fog usually comes in from the west. By the time I reached Petaluma, the whole sky was blanketed by the sickly yellow haze; the acrid smell when I got out of the car told me immediately this was not fog. Inside the office, Ellie Cohen, CEO of Point Blue, was already communicating with Point Blue field staff about the fast-moving wildfire that had ignited just a few hours earlier near the town of Paradise in Butte County. "Get inside and be safe," she pleaded. What we couldn't have known at that point was that this was the start of the deadliest wildfire in California history, leaving 86 people dead and thousands displaced.
This was an all-too-appropriate segue to my interview with Ellie Cohen, on the occasion of her impending departure from Point Blue Conservation Science (founded in 1965 as Point Reyes Bird Observatory/PRBO). Because if the world at large had been heeding Ellie for the past 12 years, we might already be on track to make the choices and changes necessary to avoid this apocalyptic, smoke-filled vision of the future of California … and the planet….
The Real-Life Effects of Trump's Environmental Rollbacks: 5 Takeaways From Our Investigation (NY Times)
December 28, 2018 January 3, 2019 Ellie CohenLeave a comment
By Eric Lipton, Steve Eder and John Branch Read full NYTimes article here
For nearly two years, President Trump has pursued an aggressive, far-reaching effort, lobbied for and cheered on by industry, to free American business from what he and many of his supporters view as excessive environmental regulation.
The consequences are starting to play out in noticeable ways in communities across the United States.
An investigation by The New York Times showed how Mr. Trump's deregulatory policies are starting to have substantial impact on those who experience them close up — and often are economically dependent on the industries the president is trying to help.
Here are 5 key takeaways….

A Year of Climate Change Evidence: Notes from a Science Reporter's Journal
Compelling new evidence shows we will speed past a dangerous climate-risk threshold as soon as 2030 if greenhouse gas emissions continue at their current rate, potentially triggering climate change on a scale that would present grave dangers to much of the living planet.
The IPCC 1.5C report reinforces the urgent need to cut greenhouse gas emissions by roughly half in the next 12 years in order to move toward the Paris treaty's most ambitious goal, and to eliminate emissions by 2050.
"The reports are all about one thing: To reach the global climate goal, we have to fundamentally rethink our relationship with the environment and realize that we aren't separate from the environment," said Kyle White, who co-authored a National Climate Assessment chapter on Tribes and Indigenous People. "A sustainable environment must become a basic aspect of governance. Indigenous knowledge systems are not just about recording environmental data. They're about the way society should be organized to learn from people who know about the environment."
Bob Berwyn Read full InsideClimate News article here
Our heat-stricken planet is orbiting through the end of a year that humanity might rather forget. But several recent climate reports tell us that 2018 may be remembered as a turning point, for better or worse, in the fight to cap global warming…
….Several reports conclude that investing in a global economic transformation now would save huge amounts of money compared to paying spiraling costs for climate disasters later. Others outline the tremendous challenge: We are still shoveling millions of tons of coal into furnaces every day; CO2 emissions have increased 4.7 percent since the Paris climate agreement was signed in 2015.
Although there were many promises of action and signs of progress as coal plants closed, renewable costs dropped and companies and state and local governments tightened their rules, the United Nations Environment Program said the gap remains as large as ever between commitments under the Paris agreement and the cuts needed to reach its goals.
IPCC: 1.5°C Warming Is Bad; 2°C Is Worse
The climate science highlight of the year was publication by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of a report mandated by the Paris Agreement, Global Warming of 1.5 Celsius.
It authoritatively reinforces the urgent need to cut greenhouse gas emissions by roughly half in the next 12 years in order to move toward the treaty's most ambitious goal, and to eliminate emissions by 2050. That means transforming energy, agriculture and forest systems on a large scale. It means rethinking how and where we build, work, shop, play and live; how we get around and feed ourselves; where we obtain the energy we need for economic development, and how we adapt to the global warming impacts that are ahead….
….Biodiversity, Food Security and Extinction
…scientists have also started identifying global warming impacts to biodiversity, and by extension, the effects on humans due to the loss of important food crops or the ecologically valuable services of species like pollinating insects and bats. By 2070, global warming could be the main driver of biodiversity decline. Warming temperatures can affect animals directly, by changing their habitat, and also by disrupting natural reproductive cycles between species, like flowers, insects and birds.
A World Wildlife Fund study released in October found that global populations of vertebrate species have, on average, declined in size by 60 percent in the past 40 years. Habitat loss and direct exploitation are the main factors, and are linked with overconsumption of resources, which is also at the root of global warming. In November, the European Commission Joint Research Centre suggested global warming will cause cascading extinction effects at up to 10 times the rate of existing estimates. Scientists also showed how populations of crop-killing insects will boom with global warming, and how warming temperatures are throwing the plant-pollinator cycle out of sync.
In the oceans, hundreds of fish species are moving north to cooler water, disrupting coastal economies and threatening food supplies in less developed countries in the Global South…
In the Arctic: Rapid Changes Underway
Several 2018 reports also described how global warming continues to force rapid changes in Arctic ecosystems, including changes to ocean chemistry that are affecting marine life, as well as melting ice and thawing permafrost that is directly affecting local communities and the wider global climate system….
….What Should We Be Learning from All This?
The massive amounts of information can seem overwhelming, but if you strip away most of the technical and scientific jargon, the message is clear, said Michigan State University professor Kyle White, who co-authored a National Climate Assessment chapter on Tribes and Indigenous People.
"The reports are all about one thing: To reach the global climate goal, we have to fundamentally rethink our relationship with the environment and realize that we aren't separate from the environment," White said.
The indigenous knowledge expressed in several of this year's reports has universal relevance for the systems-level change we need, he said. "A sustainable environment must become a basic aspect of governance. Indigenous knowledge systems are not just about recording environmental data. They're about the way society should be organized to learn from people who know about the environment," he said.
Our Food, Our Farmers and the Planet
Solutions to global environmental problems will also not be realized without tackling the problems in agriculture.
Agriculture is responsible for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions, 70 per cent of freshwater withdrawals, 70 per cent of biodiversity loss on land and 73 per cent of deforestation in the tropics.
At the same time, the increased frequency of droughts and floods is a major obstacle to ending hunger and malnutrition.
International Institute for Sustainable Development Read full story here
Agriculture matters: it provides a livelihood for more people in the world than any other sector and represents almost 50 percent of total employment in poor countries. It is also on the front lines of nearly all urgent global challenges, from hunger & malnutrition to climate change, biodiversity loss and freshwater scarcity.
Farming has the power to end extreme poverty and feed billions of people. The goal of ending hunger is within reach, but it will not happen unless we increase public spending—by an extra USD 11 billion per year from now to 2030. IISD is working with IFPRI to measure the costs and provide the solutions to ensure the world achieves the critical SDG goal of ending hunger. Our recent study looked at the agricultural conditions and policies of 117 states in Asia and Africa over 45 years to determine why some countries have made the leap beyond subsistence agriculture and others have not….
Scientists called for 'unprecedented' action. But the global climate talks aren't built for that.
"We cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis," said one young activist.
But in Poland, the IPCC's findings on what the world would need to do to hold off the worst impacts of climate change collided with the reality of a bureaucratic process that requires consensus among nearly 200 nations. It was never designed to be nimble. Instead of dramatic new commitments, diplomats were left to wrestle with what to outsiders may seem like semantics, arguing about whether to "welcome" or "note" or "recognize the role" of the report.
Griff Witte and Brady Dennis Read full Washington Post article here
KATOWICE, Poland — Negotiators from nearly 200 nations drew close to a deal Friday that would nudge the world toward stronger targets for reducing carbon emissions and enshrine a clearer set of rules for how to get there.
But even amid the glimmers of progress at this year's climate summit, where more than 25,000 people have gathered in the heart of Poland's coal mining region, there was a deeper undercurrent of dismay. The world's best efforts, some participants concluded after two weeks of nonstop talks, would not nearly match the urgency of a problem that scientists have said will bring catastrophic consequences without major action over the next 12 years.
Despite the lingering questions about the world's overall resolve, Friday brought signs that the gridlock that has defined much of these talks was beginning to ease. Delegates worked through the night, scrambling to produce the latest draft of a detailed "rule book" that will serve as a road map for how countries collectively implement the 2015 Paris climate accord.
The drafts released Friday morning, which stretched hundreds of pages, showed that diplomats had apparently reached key compromises. Those included language that would recognize the importance of an October U.N. report finding that the world would need to take "unprecedented" action by 2030 to avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change.
The report, produced by the nearly 100 scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, set an increase in temperatures of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels as the outer limit of what the world can tolerate without cataclysmic results. (The planet has already warmed by 1 degree.) The U.S. delegation — which has been engaged in the talks, despite President Trump's vow to withdraw the United States from the Paris agreement — had blocked acceptance of the report over the weekend.
"Climate change is not something in our future. It's happening to us now," said Mohamed Nasheed, former president of the Maldives and chief of the island nation's negotiating team here. "We will not survive if business goes as usual."…
Rapidly disintegrating Arctic sea ice leaves scientists 'shocked'– means faster sea level rise, faster global warming, and more extreme weather
Rapidly disintegrating Arctic sea ice means faster sea level rise, faster global warming, and more extreme weather for us.
Joe Romm Read ThinkProgress article here Read 2018 NOAA Arctic Report Card here
The annual Arctic Report Card from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is out, but it appears that humanity is flunking science badly.
As NOAA reports, "Arctic air temperatures for the past five years (2014-18) have exceeded all previous records since 1900." And one stunning result of this is that 95 percent of the oldest and thickest Arctic sea ice has disintegrated in just three decades.
The Report Card makes clear that our failure to slow global warming has led to an all-but irreversible Arctic death spiral — which in turn is driving more extreme weather in this country, faster sea level rise everywhere, and more rapid disintegration of the carbon-rich permafrost, which in turn causes even faster global warming….
….NASA scientists who in March flew over the region north of Greenland — home to much of the Arctic's oldest and thickest ice — were stunned by how much the thickest sea ice had been broken up into pieces as opposed to remaining a solid sheet. NASA cryo-scientist Nathan Kurtz, who has been on many such research flights, told the Washington Post, "I was just shocked by how different it was."[Read more here]…
Highlights from the NOAA report:
Surface air temperatures in the Arctic continued to warm at twice the rate relative to the rest of the globe. Arctic air temperatures for the past five years (2014-18) have exceeded all previous records since 1900.
In the terrestrial system, atmospheric warming continued to drive broad, long-term trends in declining terrestrial snow cover, melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet and lake ice, increasing summertime Arctic river discharge, and the expansion and greening of Arctic tundra vegetation.
Despite increase of vegetation available for grazing, herd populations of caribou and wild reindeer across the Arctic tundra have declined by nearly 50% over the last two decades.
In 2018 Arctic sea ice remained younger, thinner, and covered less area than in the past. The 12 lowest extents in the satellite record have occurred in the last 12 years.
Pan-Arctic observations suggest a long-term decline in coastal landfast sea ice since measurements began in the 1970s, affecting this important platform for hunting, traveling, and coastal protection for local communities.
Spatial patterns of late summer sea surface temperatures are linked to regional variability in sea-ice retreat, regional air temperature, and advection of waters from the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
In the Bering Sea region, ocean primary productivity levels in 2018 were sometimes 500% higher than normal levels and linked to a record low sea ice extent in the region for virtually the entire 2017/18 ice season.
Warming Arctic Ocean conditions are also coinciding with an expansion of harmful toxic algal blooms in the Arctic Ocean and threatening food sources.
Microplastic contamination is on the rise in the Arctic, posing a threat to seabirds and marine life that can ingest debris.
Sierra snowpack could drop significantly by end of century
Researchers found that we could see on average a 79 percent drop in peak Sierra Nevada snowpack water volume by 2100.
Peak snow melt could be as much as one month earlier, increasing the lag time between when water is available and when it is most in demand.
"We basically get 50 percent of our annual precipitation in five to 15 days, or one to two weeks. Our water demand is highest during the summer months when we don't get a lot of precipitation, so we really rely on mountain snowpack as a stopgap for our water supply."
DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Read ScienceDaily coverage here
A future warmer world will almost certainly feature a decline in fresh water from the Sierra Nevada mountain snowpack. Now a new study that analyzed the headwater regions of California's 10 major reservoirs, representing nearly half of the state's surface storage, found they could see on average a 79 percent drop in peak snowpack water volume by 2100.
…the study found that peak timing, which has historically been April 1, could move up by as much as four weeks, meaning snow will melt earlier, thus increasing the time lag between when water is available and when it is most in demand.
…Mountain snowpack is a critical source of water for California, and much of it comes in a very narrow window. "Our precipitation is really intermittent and extremes-driven," Rhoades said. "We basically get 50 percent of our annual precipitation in five to 15 days, or one to two weeks. Our water demand is highest during the summer months when we don't get a lot of precipitation, so we really rely on mountain snowpack as a stopgap for our water supply."…

How Residency Programs and Students Coped With Virtual Match Day
by Renée Bacher • May 19, 2021
COVID-19 changed many things in the past year, including how otolaryngology residency programs and applicants interviewed for the National Residency Matching Program.
Conditions overall weren't ideal for residency programs deciding who would be their best residents for the next five years—visiting rotations were suspended and in-person meetings moved to virtual platforms. Due to personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages, some programs weren't even allowed to have away rotators during the 2020-21 Match season, even if they were from a medical school without a home otolaryngology program.
"Our ability to get to know applicants was seen as a significant challenge," said Steven D. Pletcher, MD, director of the residency program in the department of otolaryngology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and an Otolaryngology Program Directors Organization (OPDO) council member. Dr. Pletcher added that this year it was much more challenging to provide applicants with a sense of the culture of his program as well as the day-to-day experience of living in San Francisco.
Programs Got Creative
Still, many residency programs went the extra mile to give applicants the best opportunity to get to know the program and its particulars. Programs held virtual information sessions, created residency videos, breathed new life into department websites, and launched social media accounts—primarily on Twitter and Instagram—in the hope of providing applicants with a good sense of the nuts and bolts of their programs as well as the vibe among their faculty and residents.
"One of the biggest issues for us was trying to figure out how to let the students know the subtleties and the character of our program if they're not physically there to see it," said Stacey T. Gray, MD, associate professor and residency program director at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
Harvard held webinar-type presentations for prospective student applicants. Dr. Gray said doing this virtually meant Harvard could reach a wider audience. Among other topics, these webinars covered basic program details, resident life (this section was run by residents), and research opportunities within residency, since Harvard has a seven-year research track program.
"That isn't something we had ever done before," Dr. Gray said. "But we were able to allow students to ask questions of faculty, and often several hundred prospective students attended these presentations. I think before they were even applying, students may have had more information about programs than they ever would have had in a normal year."
At resident interview time, the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora sent out information sheets to the residents and faculty with each applicant's hometown, medical school, and listed hobbies so residents and faculty interacting with the interviewees would have a starting point for conversations. To add an even more personal touch, Cristina Cabrera-Muffly, MD, associate professor and residency program director in the department of otolaryngology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver, assigned each resident three to four interviewed applicants to call or email after the interview to answer follow-up questions.
Dr. Pletcher said that because the virtual interview process was new for his department, they leaned on advice from their fellowship programs. These programs had already been through a virtual process and used institutional best practices to create a meaningful experience for applicants, while providing faculty the ability to assess applicants' interpersonal skills. The UCSF program was also creative, using a new virtual platform called Varty for its post-interview social event. Varty creates a casual virtual environment that looks like a party, where people can chat on virtual sofas in small groups.
Dr. Cabrera-Muffly's program hosted a virtual social hour with a fun twist on the night before each interview day. "Each applicant received a care package with taco seasoning mix, a package of margarita mix that could be used with alcohol or water, and some CU swag so they could participate in a taco party while socializing in small groups." The program received excellent feedback on this event.

Is Petra & Jerash open to visitors during Eid holiday?
Answer: Yes, tourists sites are open as usual. And they are busy too, as many Jordanian families as well as tourists from other Arab countries take the chance to visit them during the long holidays.
So make sure you have a hotel reservation, especially in Petra, Aqaba or at the Dead Sea.

An aerial view of the Atlantic barrier dune ridges and NC Highway 12 on Pea Island, looking south towards the villages of Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo. Outer Banks residents live in constant tension with the edge of the sea.
On Pea Island, bulldozers scrape sand off N.C. Highway 12 and shape it back into barrier dunes after Tropical Storm Jose breached them in September 2017. Hurricanes and other violent storms wash sand across these thin barrier islands, and they grow and migrate toward the mainland. But miles of man-made dunes that protect expensive beach homes and N.C. Highway 12 — the sole asphalt artery that threads the island villages — prevent this overwash and the island-building process. Instead the islands are locked in place, and angrier, more frequent storms inflamed by warming ocean temperatures are rapidly eroding them.
The Pamlico Sound at the edge of the Salvo Community Cemetery is whipped up by a strong southwest wind at twilight. "For the sea lies all about us… In its mysterious past it encompasses all the dim origins of life and receives in the end, after, it may be, many transmutations, the dead husks of that same life. For all at last return to the sea--to Oceanus, the ocean river, like the ever-flowing stream of time, the beginning and the end." - Rachel Carson
Tourists run past the graves of Little Pharaoh Payne, a WWII veteran, and his wife, Hilda, which have been exhumed by storm surge. Threatened by sea level rise, the cemetery is also vulnerable to erosion caused by foot traffic, which wears away the sand banks. Locals get irritated when tourists don't respect the resting place of their ancestors.
Research by Dr. Stanley Riggs, a professor of geology at East Carolina University, and his colleagues, suggests that the high dunes that protect the Atlantic Ocean beaches have prevented much overwash from reaching the sound side and expanding the beach a the Salvo Day Use Area. Using aerial photographs and other methods, he and a team have measured 1,500 feet of shoreline here, and concludes that from 1962 to 1998 it has eroded at an average rate of about 1 foot a year, with a high of 2.4 feet a year. Twenty years of hurricanes, and nor'easters since his study have eroded it even more. "This [cemetery] is a grand statement of how mobile this system is, how incredibly dynamic it is," he says.
The Salvo Community Cemetery is bound by the Pamlico Sound and the Salvo Day Use Area. Both lie within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, which is managed by the National Park Service. But the cemetery is not maintained by the Park Service, but privately owned by the community, which is scrambling to raise the funds to save it. The next major storms threaten to wash it into the Pamlico Sound.
Tourist frequent the Salvo Day Use Area to paddle board and kite surf, fish and swim in the Pamlico Sound just beyond the cemetery.
From left: Jenny Creech and Dawn Taylor both have kin buried in the Salvo Community Cemetery. Creech is president of the Hatteras Island Genealogical and Preservation Society, and Taylor is vice president. The sea birthed the Outer Banks' distinct culture, and it also threatens to take all memory of its past. Their mission is to educate the public — especially tourists — and save the island's historical sites and structures from being erased by humans, or by the sea. The local civic association appointed Creech to represent the cemetery descendants as the organizations work with the community, and state and federal agencies to build a permanent bulkhead between the sound and the cemetery, which would slow erosion. But time is running out.

Large stands of wind-swept live oaks that resemble tangled, twiggy cowlicks run parallel to the beach. They indicated to scientists that the land was once a ridge far from the sound — a sand pile built from Atlantic overwash and sediment delivered by two tidal creeks to the north and south. But now the tree roots dangle into the marsh. Leafless and poisoned by saltwater as the sound creeps closer, many have toppled over dead.
The entrance to the Midgett-Salvo Cemetery. The spongey land stays flooded even after a summer thunderstorm. Sunny day flooding driven by wind and small storms is increasingly common on the Outer Banks.
A climate-endangered species of Sandpiper known as a Willet (Tringa semipalmata) searches for prey in the balding marsh grass at the edge of the cemetery.
An old McCormick Spice bottle from the 1800's is exposed by waves in the sun-rippled shallows by the cemetery.
Kaine, 2, plays along in the sound, in front of sandbags installed to break waves during storms and slow erosion in the cemetery.
My dear friend, Katie, in the sound.
David "Cowboy" Ambrose poses with his backhoe. His marine construction company is building a bulkhead that will slow erosion between the sound and the Salvo Community Cemetery. Decades ago, he fell in love with the Outer Banks and never left. "People call me cowboy because where ever I take my boots off is my home," he says.
Tourist enjoy the sunset and the newly completed bulkhead at the Salvo Community Cemetery in July, 2018. Around 6pm on summer evenings, the Salvo Day Use Area empties as the kite boarders and kayakers load up and leave for dinner. As the daylight begins to fade around 8pm, the cars show up again. Bicyclists appear and ditch their rides in the sand. If you are watching from the sound it's as if the tourists materialize out of nothing, and scurry down to the shoreline like gazelles herding to a wet spot on a savannah. Their iPhones hoisted in front of them, they take in the sunset through their screens. They wade out into the sound turn their backs to the setting sun and pose for selfies.
A couple takes in the sunset across the Pamlico Sound by the cemetery. Families from all across the United States travel to the Outer Banks each summer, bringing billions of tourism dollars to North Carolina. Many end up at the Salvo Day Use Area, where they encounter the cemetery for the first time. Reactions are often awe and disbelief. The Outer Banks are a National Seashore run by the National Park Service, which owns and maintains the day use area, but not the cemetery. It is privately owned by the community, which is scrambling to raise the funds to save it.
Jean Hooper's memories of her 83 years are slipping away, but when she was young she remembers wading in the Pamlico Sound at the Salvo Day Use Area, while her brother, Earl Whidbee, swam to a small island in Clark's Bay, just west of the Salvo Community Cemetery. The island is gone now. She grew up in Salvo and never left. She wants to be buried at the cemetery, right next to her grandparents, Josephine and Luther Gray, even if the Pamlico Sound eventually eats the cemetery. "If I was [buried] there and the water washed me out, I wouldn't know it anyway so what difference does it make?" she says. "Might as well be there, washed out all over the place. I can't swim, but I wouldn't need to then."
Jean Hooper has survived so many hurricanes they all blur together now, and she just accepts the storms as inevitable. Hurricane Irene in 2011 was the worst in her recent memory. The Pamlico Sound came up and flooded her little house in Salvo with 14 inches of water. She and her husband had to remodel most of the kitchen, and couldn't live in their house from August 2011 to the end of January 2012. Most upsetting, she lost a bunch of her old photos in the flooding. She still has these two photos of her (in the middle) and her siblings at the Salvo Community Cemetery by the Pamlico Sound. They were made by Sol Libsohn, a photographer from the legendary Standard Oil Photography Project, and she's been keeping them in her family bible ever since Irene.

Since 2017 I've been photographing the plight to save a tiny historic cemetery from sea level rise on North Carolina's Outer Banks, an ever-shifting string of barrier islands where generations, including my late grandfather, have lived because of the sea and despite the sea.
For eons the Outer Banks were built and nourished by hurricanes, and they naturally migrated west toward the mainland. Today this process is disrupted by overdevelopment and the highway that threads the island villages. Instead more frequent and intense storms fueled by climate change are eroding the Outer Banks, and six feet of global sea level rise by 2100 threatens to inundate the islands.
Locals are already watching their ancestors and memory slip into the sea. Halfway down Hatteras lies the Salvo Day Use Campground tucked between the edge of the Pamlico Sound and a parking lot — a place teeming with tourists and estuarine life, and a final resting place for descendants of some of the first European settlers to America. But when the storms blow and the water surges, the sound floods the cemetery, which is disappearing grave by grave.
A group of cemetery descendants are racing to build a bulkhead to keep their ancestors from washing away. They discovered that we share a distant ancestor who was once buried at the cemetery, but a storm sucked her into the sound years ago. They introduced me to an elderly woman who grew up in Salvo, and all her life she has watched the ceaseless storms reshape the Outer Banks. Her memories of the only home she has ever known are fading as quickly as the sea strips the island away, but she still wants to be buried at the cemetery next to her grandparents even if the sea eventually takes her bones.
Protecting expensive beachfront homes and billions of tourism dollars are central to sea level rise planning on the Outer Banks. But what about culture? Tide and Time explores the effects of sea level rise on memory and familial roots, creating a historical document of a resilient people on this restless sliver of sand.

San Elizario Mayor Isela Reyes arrested on insurance fraud charge
Arrest made by El Paso County sheriff's detectives on FBI West Texas Corruption Task Force
Daniel Borunda
El Paso County sheriff's detectives arrested the mayor of San Elizario on Tuesday on a charge of insurance fraud that allegedly occurred before she took office last year, sheriff's officials said.
Isela Reyes, 41, was arrested by sheriff's detectives assigned to the FBI West Texas Border Corruption Task Force.
Reyes is accused of filing a false insurance claim between $2,500 and $30,000 in March of last year, according to El Paso County Jail records. Reyes was sworn into office in May.
She was elected in a nonpartisan election.
Though the alleged fraud occurred before she was mayor, the FBI West Texas Border Corruption Task Force was involved in the investigation since Reyes is currently a public official, the Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
Reyes was booked into the El Paso County Jail in Downtown under a $25,000 bond. She had not made bail as of Tuesday afternoon.
Community news:Thousands of cowboy boots donated to El Paso County children
San Elizario has a population of about 10,000 and is a historic town just southeast of El Paso. The community, then known as San Elceario, dates back to when the region was a part of New Spain in the late 1790s. It was most-recently reincorporated as its own town in 2013.

Bowe Bergdahl is being charged with desertion
Video Creator's Channel BlazeTV
Your Reaction On The News Today About These Desertion
charges when you first heard it what came to your mind well Dana. This is not a happy day for the army, an organization that I loved I served for 27 years until recently retiring. This is a sad day where the exception to the rule. Someone like who did what Bowe Bergdahl's accused of doing doesn't represent the men and women in uniform the heroes that you were talking about the six warriors killed trying to recover a comrade those represent the best is the army. I think is important we remember absolutely and it's also key that we're now moving to where we need to go.
There Is Substantial Evidence That Bowe
Bergdahl committed serious crimes desertion misbehavior in the face of the enemy. He's got to be held to account that means the army has to come forward. with real evidence to prove what he did to prove and link to prove all the allegations against him. I don't think that's too much to ask, albeit it also gets Bowe Bergdahl the chance to tell his side of the story. These are the due process rights and real American soldiers have defended I'm glad that Bowe Bergdahl's finally having the chance to do it and I'm glad that the army finally stood up after far too long to hold the soldier to account.
Why Do You Think It Took
so long you know I for me it'd be speculation but look there's clearly political pressure we have an administration was invested in a narrative where Bowe Bergdahl was some sort of hero. They brought him home. They expected to be treated as heroes themselves for rescuing this guy from the Taliban, but you know his comrade and all. His comrades-in-arms those warriors who serve with them and knew the truth stood up on shows like yours other shows got in the media and said Wait a minute no you're not getting the whole story. It's a great almost Andrew Breitbart Ian event in which we went around the mainstream media and I say we those who want the real story to get out went around the mainstream media and got the truth out there now.
Its In The Hands Of Military Justice
system, where everyone will get a fair chance to present their side without you know the daily coast come ring for people people like Susan Rice talking about him serving with honor God makes me with my gag well and and I wanted to I get it. I don't understand obviously and I know that that in terms of general court-martial and then the special court-martial. significant and I you know fully admit I don't understand all the Ville Eagle procedures as it relates to these military issues, but one of the things that I did notice and I realized that at least depending on the charge of desertion and I know that there's different levels of charges. One of the ones that they had mentioned. I think it was article 99 from what I understand death by as punishment might be included in that with a conviction, but I didn't hear that mention they had mentioned life and imprisonment.
I Dont Know If I Am Being
too speculative and assuming that that's just off the table or if there's maybe a strategy behind it. My guess is it's off the table. You know I'm a trial in civilian that's why we love having you on Kurt I try and use my powers for good instead. of evil looking at it objectively as a lawyer and not as a guy who's out there really advocating for the guys still on active duty.
bergdahl
This Doesnt Strike Me As A
death penalty case that is it doesn't seem like the kind where normally they would file capital charges something like a Hasan in Fort Hood now that's a death penalty case Nah but he still fix a substantial accountability here even if it's their actions. Even if you had six Americans who lost their lives looking for them. You don't think that they would make a capital case. I don't let well it die it's not the kind you typically charge someone with a capital crime for it just isn't and there's going to be it's going to be interesting watching the prosecutors link the death of these warriors to him in a way that holds him personally.
Accountable He Faces You Know The
rest of his life behind bars that's a real possibility. This is in the hands of military justice system. Now data this isn't undo command influence is something that our military justice system fights every day. It's not about what the higher-ups want.

Its About Looking At The Evidence Looking At
the law looking at the facts and coming in making a just verdict. I've got a lot of faith in the military system. It has procedures and protections that civilians don't have.

Focusing only on graphics, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is an acceptable remaster of a game featuring mechanics that already felt dated four years ago.
stevivor.comXbox One
While Rogue is polished and tells a different story than one you'd normally encounter in the Assassin's Creed franchise, time hasn't done the title any favours.
apptrigger.comPS4
Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered has some noticeable graphical improvements, but not enough to overshadow the gameplay flaws of the original.

Rogue's story remains intriguing but it's hard to go back, especially after Origins.
twinfinite.netPS4
Now that Ubisoft has taken a break from the series, returning with the refreshing Origins late last year, the issues that Rogue has are more pronounced than ever before.

If anything can be taken from the release of Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered, it is that the series has come a long way in a short period of time.

President Trump's election has unfortunately ushered in a new sense of fear and dread among many immigrants and their families. The President launched his campaign with decidedly anti-immigrant statements, and he appointed many immigration opponents to key positions, such as Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
any individual who "in the judgment of an immigration officer" poses a risk to public safety.
Under the new guidance, many more individuals will be considered enforcement priorities. For example, if you are living in the United States without legal status and were ordered removed 20 years ago, you are now an enforcement priority. This is the case even if you have no record of criminal convictions, and even if you have U.S. citizen children.
Consider preparing an application for a stay of removal in case you are detained by immigration authorities. A stay of removal is a request for ICE to hold off on your deportation for a specific period of time. ICE can grant a stay of removal for up to one year, and the stay can be renewed if you file a new application. When you apply for a stay of removal, you must include evidence showing the humanitarian reasons why ICE should allow you to stay in the United States. You should document any medical problems you or your children have, the need for you to financially support your family, the length or your residence and significant family ties to the United States, community support or volunteer activities, and any other compelling or humanitarian factor that would help show why ICE should allow you to remain in the United States. As part of your family plan, you may want to consider gathering documents for a stay of removal application now, so that you are prepared to file a strong request if you are detained.
And perhaps most importantly, consult with an immigration attorney or legal aid provider NOW to determine whether you have any options for gaining legal status. If you're interested in speaking with an attorney about your legal status and options that may be available to you, schedule your case evaluation appointment today.
