What could take days to travel by car just takes hours by air, and some destinations only can be reached by an airplane, such as remote locations in the Yukon Territory. Whether you just need a quick flight to a nearby city or if you're looking to travel to a faraway country, booking tickets is an essential step to traveling by air.
Determine your final destination, the day you need to leave and the day you will return. Before booking a flight, have the basics of your trip outlined.
Choose an airline, based on personal preference or rates. If you're shopping based on rates, ask the airlines for a price quotation. If you have a personal preference as to which airline you prefer, use that airline.
Contact a representative of the airline you have chosen, and relay your dates of travel. The representative will tell you the specific times that flights depart on the day you wish to leave and you can pick the most convenient time. The representative will reserve your seat on that flight.
Determine your final destination, the day you need to leave, and the day you will return. Just as if you were going to book a flight over the phone, you need to outline the basics of your trip before booking a flight over the Internet.
Choose whether you need plane tickets only or some other package such as plane tickets and a rental car or plane tickets and a hotel room, and select the appropriate option. Many online sites offer package deals along with the plane tickets. If you need a hotel or rental car, selecting a package may save some money. If you're only looking for plane tickets, select the option for plane tickets only.
Enter the locations and dates in the appropriate fields. In the "from" field, enter where you are flying from. In the "to" field, enter where you are flying to. In the "departure" field, enter the date you wish to leave; in the "return" field, enter the date you wish to return.
Select the number of tickets you need. Many sites have a drop-down menu allowing you to select how many adults, children, or seniors will be flying. Enter the appropriate number for your trip. If you're an adult traveling alone, simply leave the default at "1" for one adult.
Press the "search" or "find tickets" button on the screen. After all the information has been entered, the online site will search for plane tickets matching your needs. You will then select which flight you need based on airline or price. After making a selection, simply follow the instructions on the website to purchase your ticket electronically.

The fourth season of the series "Narcos" explores the origins of the war in Mexico against drugs, a chapter that in the opinion of the creator of the program, the American Eric Newman, "is unthinkable" without narrating the history of the Guadalajara Cartel.
"You can not tell the story of 'El Chapo' Guzmán without introducing Félix Gallardo, Caro Quintero or Ernesto Fonseca, the capos who modernized the drug trade in the 1980s, in complicity with the Mexican government," Newman said at a meeting with the press in Mexico City.
After three successful seasons portraying the birth and development of drug trafficking in Colombia with Pablo Escobar at the helm, the popular Netflix series now lands in Mexico, where Felix Gallardo takes command and unifies traffickers to build an empire.
In "Narcos: Mexico," which arrives on the platform on November 16, Mexican actor Diego Luna gives life to capo Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, founder of the powerful Guadalajara cartel that had its heyday in 1980 and then led to the cartel Sinaloa.
Luna shares the leading role with Mexican-American Michael Peña, who in the program plays Enrique 'Kiki' Camarena, the first DEA agent killed in action.
After Felix Gallardo's apprehension in 1989, Rafael Caro Quintero and Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo assumed the leadership of the Guadalajara Cartel, which began drug trafficking to the United States on a large scale.
"It is important to understand where this was born (drug trafficking), what its origins are, how a group of small producers and traffickers end up taking power and their link with the Mexican and US governments," said Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta.
Huerta plays Caro Quintero, who was imprisoned in 1985 and released in 2013. His whereabouts are currently unknown.
"The complexity of the relationship between Mexico and the United States is that both continue to sponsor this war. And while history ('Narcos') has elements of fiction, we have an obligation to tell the truth as completely as possible, "said Newman.
Since the beginning of the so-called war against drug trafficking led by former President Felipe Calderón in 2006, more than 200,000 people have been killed, according to official figures that do not specify how many of those victims are linked to the fight against crime.
In "Narcos: Mexico," Diego Luna plays the capo Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, founder of the once powerful Guadalajara Cartel, a role that has earned him criticism from a political sector in his country that accuses him of "doing apology for drug trafficking."
But the Mexican actor responds with the argument that the fourth season of the program broadcast by Netflix is a "good opportunity to trigger the interest of those who are not yet sensitive to a serious problem."
In the hands of drug traffickers and a controversial anti-drug operation, a wave of violence has been unleashed in Mexico that leaves more than 200,000 violent deaths in 12 years, according to official figures that do not detail how many would be linked to organized crime.
"From my point of view it is important to tell this story during the decade (1980) in which the scaffolding was made of what has us living in this hell," Luna said during the presentation of the series.
After the disappearance of the Guadalajara cartel, in the 1990s arose the powerful Sinaloa cartel, led by Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, now imprisoned in the United States and waiting for a lawsuit against him in November.
His protagonist in the new installment of "Narcos", his debut in a series, was announced in March, when Luna protested against the Law of Internal Security, which regulates the participation of the Armed Forces of Mexico in public security tasks.
Among those who accused in social networks the actor in the Star Wars saga "Rogue One" of contradicting his speech by starring in a program "that advocates crime", highlights the then conservative senator Javier Lozano.
"I respect the opinions of everyone, except those of those who ask not to tell these stories and talk about 'nice things,'" Luna said.
"I'm very interested in that audience that sees the series in Germany, England and other countries outside of Latin America, the next time a line of cocaine is going to be put in, think a little about what's behind it," said the producer.

Labor Day honors the American labor movement and the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of the country. It considered the unofficial end of summer.
Wow! Summer goes by faster each year and the weather feels like Fall. Personally I am not ready to put on my sweatshirt or sit by the fireplace. Although Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer, there is still time to BBQ, gather with friends and family and enjoy the last weeks of boating on the lake. Keep the summer spirit alive and make it last.

It's called 'nerd immunity': Wearing glasses may protect against COVID-19, study finds
Published: Feb. 25, 2021, 11:18 a.m.
FILE - In this Tuesday, June 12, 2012, file photo, eyeglass frames are displayed at Berlin Optical Expressions in Berlin, Vt. Studies find that people who wear glasses at least eight hours a day contract COVID-19 less than those who don't wear glasses. (AP Photo/Toby Talbot, File)AP
Linda Hasco | lhasco@pennlive.com
Those who wear glasses with a mask know how frustrating it can be to keep them from fogging up. You may even be tempted to remove them at times, just so you can see where you're going.
But when it comes to protection against COVID-19, a new study has found that wearing glasses may be worth the frustration.
According to a report by WKYC 3, multiple studies have shown that of the people who contract COVID-19, those who wear glasses at least eight hours a day make up a lesser percentage of that group than those who don't wear glasses.
The report cited Professor Yaneer Bar-Yam of The New England Complex Systems Institute who said: "If something lands in your eye, it can go through a duct that goes down into your nose and that's how it might infect you."
WKYC 3 cited a study published this month in India, which looked at 304 COVID-19 patients. The author says "about 40% of India's adult population wears glasses, but only 19% of the people infected with coronavirus wore glasses." The conclusion reached by the researchers was that "the risk of COVID-19 was about 2 to 3 times less in the spectacles wearing population than the population not wearing them."
WKYC 3 again cited Professor Bar-Yam, who said: "Probably one of the main pieces is that the air particles will get deposited on your glasses as well as you might not touch your eyes a little bit, but it's really important to know that this is in addition to wearing a mask."
Bar-Yam added that these results "mirror a previous study he saw from China."
Researchers further warn that while it's sometimes "jokingly" referred to as "nerd immunity," spectacle wearers must understand that because there is space between the frames and your face, "glasses are not a foolproof protection." Professor Bar-Yam agrees saying, "Of course, wearing goggles is even better than wearing glasses," WKYC 3 cited.
So in light of that, here's yet another warning the report revealed: "If COVID-19 particles are being blocked by your glasses, or other eye covering," it must be assumed that the virus may have settled on your glasses.
Professor Bar-Yam said this: "You should definitely - if you're wearing glasses or goggles - you should wash them with soap after you use them," adding, "If you go into a place where you might be exposed to virus particles."
Even if you're wearing glasses and a mask, the report reminded us of the ongoing warning health experts have been proclaiming since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. "You still need to wash your hands regularly and social distance."

World's leading young researchers want more freedom to pursue high-risk research

The ten UK universities who do the most world-leading biomedical research have announced their animal research statistics, revealing that they collectively conducted a third of all UK animal research in 2015.
The top ten institutions conduct more than one third of all UK university animal research between them, completing a combined total of 1.37 million procedures.
Over 99% of these procedures were carried out on rodents or fish, and in line with national data they were roughly evenly split between experiments and the breeding of genetically modified animals.
The ten universities are listed below alongside the total number of procedures that they carried out in 2015. Each institution's name links to a breakdown of their individual animal research statistics.
University of Oxford: 226,214
University of Edinburgh: 212,695
UCL: 202,554
University of Cambridge: 181,080
King's College London: 175,296
University of Manchester: 145,457
Imperial College London: 101,179
University of Glasgow: 49,082
University of Birmingham: 47,657
University of Nottingham: 31,689
The universities employ more than 90,000 staff between them, and as you would expect the larger institutions tend to conduct the most animal research. All universities are committed to the '3Rs' of replacement, reduction and refinement. This means avoiding or replacing the use of animals where possible, minimising the number of animals used per experiment and minimising suffering to improve animal welfare. However, as universities expand and conduct more research, the total number of animals used can rise even if fewer animals are used per study.
"The fact that we perform a significant proportion of the UK's leading biomedical research is something to be proud of," says Professor Michael Arthur, UCL President & Provost. "It's no surprise that the universities who conduct the most world-leading research also use the most animals; despite advances in non-animal techniques, animals offer answers to many research questions that alternative methods cannot yet provide.
All ten universities are signatories to the Concordat on Openness on Animal Research in the UK, a commitment to be more open about the use of animals in scientific, medical and veterinary research in the UK. 107 organisations have signed the concordat including UK universities, charities, research funders and commercial research organisations.
The Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, Professor Louise Richardson, said: "Five British universities are ranked in the world's top ten for medical science. At Oxford, our scientists are making significant advances in understanding cancer, heart disease, psychiatric illness and a host of other health problems. Research involving animals remains critical to these medical advances. We are committed to ensuring that the animals we use are treated humanely and are equally committed to transparency in all our practices. It is very much in our interest to ensure that everyone understands the nature of our medical research and the many benefits it brings."
Animal research has played a key role in the development of virtually every medicine that we take for granted today. However, despite decades of dedicated research, many widespread and debilitating conditions are still untreatable. Medical research is a slow process with no easy answers, but animal research helps to take us incrementally closer to treatments for cancer, dementia, stroke and countless other conditions.
While many animal studies do not lead directly to treatments for diseases, 'basic science' research helps scientists to understand different processes in the body and how they can go wrong, underpinning future efforts to diagnose and treat various conditions. Additionally, many studies will show that a line of research is not worth pursuing. Although this can be disappointing, such research is incredibly valuable as scientists need to know which methods do not work and why so that they can develop new ones. Animal studies can also help to answer a wide range of research questions that are not directly related to diseases, such as exploring how genes determine traits or how brain functions develop.

Customers initially sign up to the payment option and add their payment details. This information creates an account for the customer and doesn't have to be repeated. The customer then selects afterpay or zipPay as their payment option when purchasing a product and their selected card will be charged the amount.
When using afterpay or zipPay, although the customer is charged in four installments, your business receives the full amount immediately. Your business is charged a small fee for each purchase that is made through the payment options. There are no set-up fees, monthly charges or ongoing fees.
The idea of paying $25 on four separate occasions, to some people, is nowhere near as daunting as paying $100 in one transaction. This mentality is what is leading to such success for businesses using these options.
Businesses such as SurfStitch, Princess Polly and Cue have all seen considerable increases in average order values, store sales and conversion rates since adding these payment options to their websites. The fact that it is interest free and the customer receives the product before paying in full are two reasons these options are proving to be so successful.
The low-risk association of these products are leading to significant sale increases.
Not for the business. It is advertised as interest free, however the customer will end up paying more if a payment is missed. This has no effect on the business though as you get paid as if it were a regular transaction.
Can I install it now?
zipPay offers instant integration on Magento, Woo Commerce, Shopify, Neto and Shopp. Afterpay offers instant integration on Magento, Shopify, Woo Commerce, Neto, Island Pacific and Infinity. Both companies offer integration support for installment on other platforms.
At Stead Lane, we can help you with the integration of either of these payment options. If you think this could be a good opportunity to increase sales of your business, contact us today.

SOUNDS ODD #23 by Elizabeth Holmes
Fun Facts on the Science of Sound
This Is Your Brain On Stories ...
Don't you love it when you get a great script?
Compelling stories make our jobs as narrators easier.
Why? Because we engage with them emotionally. We're social animals, and our brains have adapted over millennia to find ways to connect with each other.
Stories with the correct structure, in the correct sequence, allow us to do that in a vivid way.
THE DRAMATIC ARC
This is not new information. One hundred and fifty years ago, a German novelist and playwright named Gustav Freytag analyzed Western civilization's most enduring literature to discover his (now famous) theory of the dramatic arc. To be truly successful, it seems, memorable stories must include the following elements in the following order:
1) Introduce important background information
2) Develop a series of related incidents that build greater interest
3) Create a turning point (a climax)
4) Then, engage in a struggle toward …
5) … Resolution
What IS new information is the science behind how stories like this change our brains.
YOUR BRAIN ON STORIES
Working under a grant provided by DARPA (more on this below), Paul J. Zak, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University in Berkeley, CA, devised a series of experiments to find out why some stories motivate us to act, and why some leave us cold.
Zak studied subjects before and after they watched two short videos. In both videos, the subject was a father and his two year-old son. Both stories were true.
The first showed the little boy playing, while the father described his efforts to stay present and happy with his son during the precious time that remained before the boy succumbed to a terminal cancer diagnosis.
The second video featured the same father and son on a trip to the zoo, but this time the story did not include the looming cancer threat.
MONITORED AS THEY WATCHED
Viewer subjects were tested in several ways.
They gave blood samples before and after they watched the videos. While they watched, their heart rates, skin conduction and respiration were monitored. And after watching both videos, subjects were given the opportunity to donate part (or all) of the $20 they received as compensation to a charity that supported children's cancer research.
Tests revealed that in most subjects, the first video elicited distress, then empathy. Focusing on distress caused subjects to produce cortisol, a common marker for stress.
Focusing on empathy resulted in oxytocin, a hormone associated with care, connection and the reduction of anxiety.
The second video produced a more neutral response.
THE CREEPY PART ...
Not surprisingly, after watching the first video, a significant majority of subjects were moved to contribute half of their fee to charity. The second video did not inspire generosity.
And here's the interesting part – the link between cortisol and oxytocin levels and donations to charity was so high, that researchers were able to predict with 80% accuracy who would give and who would not.
Or should I say, the creepy part?
COLD WAR ROOTS - A NEW 'MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE'?
I'm fascinated by the fact that at least part of this research was funded by DARPA – Defense Advance Research Projects Agency.
DARPA is an agency of the US Department of Defense (DOD). It was founded during the Eisenhower administration, in the early years of the space race. DARPA's 2005 public release states that:
DARPA's original mission, established in 1958, was to prevent technological surprise like the launch of Sputnik, which signaled that the Soviets had beaten the U.S. into space. The mission statement has evolved over time. Today, DARPA's mission is still to prevent technological surprise to the US, but also to create technological surprise for our enemies.
So now, it appears, effective storytelling, and its related chemistry, is of interest to the Department of Defense! (Wanna make a bet some reverse-engineering is in the works – oxytocin first, story after? Just call me paranoid.)

Canyon Country: Bryce's Forests, Falls and Features
Walk among towering hoodoos in silence. Located in Dixie National Forest, feel the uniquely different textures of pine and pastel sandstone. Crawl through hidden ATV and biking trails in solace, and wish upon stars in the silence of night.
The warmth; likely exaggerated by my excitement and the sun burning the canyon a crimson red. The goal; listening intently as night becomes day and Southern Utah springs to life. The plan; taking my time, with a place as grand in size and adventure, it's easy to overlook the smaller wonders on Bryce Canyon Country.
By Semaj Thomas. This story was created in partnership with Visit USA Parks.
That's the feeling you get when visiting Red Canyon, in more ways than you can imagine. A smaller kin to nearby Bryce Canyon, Red Canyon is a step towards solitude and away from the crowds of the big-name spots. Furthermore, there's no entrance fee to this area! Walk among towering hoodoos in silence. Located in Dixie National Forest, feel the uniquely different textures of pine and pastel sandstone. Crawl through hidden ATV and biking trails in solace, and wish upon stars in the silence of night. It's an intimate and rare experience to have a place like Red Canyon to yourself, and thanks to the catalog of adventure in the area, the possibility is more than likely.
Willis Creek
The first time I walked through a slot canyon, it was an unreal feeling. Gorgeous sandstone so perfectly smooth and curved, one would believe it to be an artist's installation. However, carved instead by scores of flash floods and wind erosion, slot canyons like Willis Creek are uniquely natural slits through otherwise impenetrable rock. The towering on either side gives the illusion you are walking through a mountain, not traversing one! Willis Creek runs through the slot canyon, so come prepared to get your feet wet. Be sure to bring sturdy shoes, more than enough water, and possibly an umbrella for shade. Hikers tend to underestimate the energy-sapping power of a desert sun, but it is real and unrelenting! Stay safe, and always remember to leave no trace.
Calf Creek Falls
With so much public land in Bryce Canyon Country, it's relatively easy to venture off the beaten path. No one would expect a waterfall as incredible as Lower Calf Creek Falls in the middle of the Utah desert! Marked from the start by anticipation and curiosity, you'll start this trail at a hastened pace, but those steps soon slow as the beauty of the hike come into full view. Sandstone pillars weave with perfect pine, dotting your journey. The true reward, the falls, come into view at the end of this hike. It's a geologic shower in an oasis-like atmosphere. Greenery grows freely, even behind the spray of the lower falls, adding contrast to a well-aged scene of natural beauty. The smaller Upper Falls only adds to its height and wonder. It's well worth a swim, and a picture! (or twenty!)
Bryce Canyon Country is a place with a new discovery around every corner, so be sure to spread out! Furthermore, stretching your adventure radius means stretching your contributions to the local economy, not just the national parks of Utah. The BCC Community is a beautiful as their gold mine of landscapes and geologic history! With towns like Escalante, Boulder, Tropic, and Panguitch, you'll find yourself extending vacation and taking your time, which is the true way to experience Bryce Canyon Country.

Home Research > Members > 1386-1421 > PLEASINGTON, Sir Robert (c.1369-1405)
PLEASINGTON, Sir Robert (c.1369-1405), of Burley, Rutland and Ellal, Lancs.
b.c.1369, s. and h. of Sir Robert Pleasington (d.1393), of Holborn, Mdx. and Burley, chief baron of the Exchequer, by his 1st w. m. by 1394, Isabel (d.1411), prob. da. and h. of Joan Bilton of Bilton in Holderness, Yorks., at least 3s, inc. Sir Henry*. Kntd. by Jan. 1397.1
This MP's somewhat obscure personal history is overshadowed by that of his father, the distinguished judge, Sir Robert Pleasington, who was removed from office in 1386 by Richard II ostensibly because of his failure to secure certain revenues for the Crown. The real reason for Sir Robert's disgrace lay, however, in his growing friendship with Thomas of Woodstock, duke of Gloucester, one of the chief critics of the court party; and when Woodstock and the other Lords Appellant finally managed to secure the impeachment of Richard's favourites in the Merciless Parliament of February 1388, it was Pleasington who acted as one of their spokesmen. Yet despite his loyalty to their cause, he never again returned to high office, and died in September 1393 without recovering more than a fraction of his former power. Since he had shrewdly chosen to invest a substantial part of his income in land he was, none the less, able to spend his last years in comfort and leave a sizeable estate to be shared between his son, the subject of this biography, and his second wife, Agnes. Robert Pleasington the younger was aged about 24 at the time of his father's death, and thus gained almost immediate possession of his inheritance.2 This comprised the manor of Burley and other land in the neighbouring village of Alsthorpe, then said to be worth £34 p.a., certain unspecified holdings in Lincolnshire (probably in Toynton where his son was later described as lord of the manor), rents and tenements in Southampton subsequently valued at £20 p.a. and two houses with a garden in Holborn, which seem to have brought Pleasington a yearly rent of at least £5 when he first became landlord. His patrimony also included part of the manor of Ellal and other property in Lancashire, where earlier generations of the Pleasington family had made their home. His widowed stepmother obtained an allocation of dower from Sir Robert's estate in Yorkshire, and perhaps because of the problems of revenue collection she eventually agreed to surrender her title to him in return for a substantial life annuity of £50. He thus became seised of messuages and land scattered throughout the Craven area, as well as the manors of Ilkley, Healaugh and Reeth (in Swaledale), together with their extensive appurtenances. Pleasington was burdened with this heavy financial commitment throughout his life, and may well have found it increasingly hard to raise the necessary sum from Yorkshire alone. His problem was further compounded by the award of a fee of £5 p.a. which he made in 1396 to his father's trustee, Richard Banks (who eventally rose to become a baron of the Exchequer). The latter was supposed to be paid out of profits from the property in Holborn, although it soon became apparent that here too there were insufficient funds to meet the new charge.3
These difficulties were, however, as nothing compared with the severe blow dealt to Pleasington during the course of the second Parliament of 1397, when his father, Sir Robert, was posthumously impeached for his complicity with Thomas of Woodstock and the other Lords Appellant. In April of the following year he was summoned under pain of £200 to appear in person before the King and council at Westminster for interrogation regarding certain 'particular causes' of especial concern to the Crown, which suggests that some pressure may have been put upon him, as it was upon so many others, to purchase a royal pardon. Yet none was forthcoming, and on 18 Mar. 1399 the commissioners who had been authorized to discharge all the outstanding business of the previous Parliament decreed that, in accordance with the sentence passed upon the late Sir Robert, all the estates held by him in 1387 were to be declared forfeit. King Richard's agents moved so quickly that within a matter of weeks Pleasington's Yorkshire manors were in the hands of the earl of Wiltshire, and his stepmother was deprived of her annuity. Fortunately for them, this state of affairs proved only temporary, for the Lancastrian usurpation brought with it a dramatic change in their fortunes. The first Parliament of Henry IV's reign repealed all the acts of Richard's last Parliament together with the judgements of the parliamentary commission, and Pleasington was restored to his patrimony.4
For a while it appeared that he would resume the interest in local affairs which had begun with his election as a shire knight for Rutland at the beginning of 1397, but the shock of his forfeiture and the financial strains attendant upon it clearly proved too much for him. In October 1399 he entered into a series of obligations for the repayment of a loan of £92 which he had raised from a clerk named John Pechel; and in the following July he was being sued by one of his neighbours in Holborn for a debt of over £14. He was well enough to witness a deed for John Culpepper* of Rutland in the summer of 1400, but soon began to suffer from intermittment periods of insanity, and on the suggestion of his wife a group of custodians was appointed by royal commission in April 1401 to take charge of both his person and the management of his estates. One of these men was Roger Flore, his colleague in the first Parliament of 1397, whose daughter, Agnes, later married his second son and eventual heir. Pleasington remained under supervision for the next three years at least, although by August 1404 he was sufficiently recovered to undergo an examination into the state of his mental health before the chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster. The latter evidently pronounced him sane, although he did not long enjoy what was effectively his second restoration to the family estates.5
Pleasington died on 2 May 1405, four days after making a will which specified that he was to be buried at the parish church of Burley. His wife, Isabel, was instructed to sell off the bulk of his possessions to pay for pious works, although the actual task of executing the will fell to Robert Caterall, vicar of Burley. Provision had no doubt already been made for his three children, who are not mentioned in the document. Since Robert, the eldest, was then only 11 years old, his wardship and marriage were awarded by Henry IV to Richard Banks, who still held office at the Exchequer. The boy died shortly afterwards, and was succeeded by his younger brother, Henry. The death of Agnes Pleasington in 1409, followed by that of his mother, Isabel, two years later, meant that when he finally came of age, in 1418, Henry Pleasington was able to take control of his entire inheritance.6

1. C136/81/43; C137/54/37; C138/37/29; OR, i. 253; E. Williams, Early Holborn, i. no. 853. G.H. de S.N.P. Harrison (Hist. Yorks. 249) provides a somewhat misleading pedigree of the MP and his family, largely because of his belief that both Pleasington and his eldest son, Robert, were involved in a lawsuit over property in Holderness which reached the courts in 1406/7. Pleasington was, of course, dead by then, and Robert (who did not survive much longer) was still a child. It is, however, interesting to note that the proceedings refer to Isabel, daughter of Joan Bilton of Bilton in Holderness and wife of Robert Pleasington the younger; and there is a strong possibility that she was, in fact, our Member's wife, or, more precisely by this date, widow. Pleasington's younger son, Sir Henry, certainly claimed kinship with William Bilton of Holderness, Joan's father.

Why we sold our swanky lifestyle for a year of freedom.
Vancouver, Canada is a beautiful city and one can do very well financially there. For a few years we lived a dream life in Vancouver, each of us with great jobs. We bought a beautiful condo and lived right downtown on the water. Fancy restaurants, concerts, sporting events, parks, everything was right at our fingertips. As far as I could tell we had it all, except for two things - time and sunshine.
Earlier this year Catherine's much loved cousin Kay passed away, she was in her early fifties. That event made us both realize that there was more to life than what we had built in Vancouver. There was a whole world to explore and our gypsy souls were calling.
The plan is to take a year from our lives and live for each moment. If we need to work until we are 66 instead of 65 because we took this year off, so be it. For now we will hike, bike, eat, drink, golf and snorkel our way around North America learning about ourselves and others along the way.
We are still trying to figure this one out, but here is a bit about each of us.
Bleach blond capitalist or Hippy gypsy. Only time will tell. As a wound-up, stressed-out, go for it lady, I am ready to pack up, roll out and explore.
Leaving my job, home, 24 year old daughter and 70 year old mother may seem like a lot, but when I recently turned 50 I could not fathom another 15 years living the same life I have always lived. Some people think I am crazy. People say you are "at the top of your game", "have a great reputation," "are doing really well," but am I?
#Catboss. I'm a 14 1/2ish grey point Siamese that is VERY loud. My favourite spot is a sunny lap, but really, any lap will do.
For an elderly cat I am in pretty good shape, although I did have to add fiber food to my diet to keep me regular. I believe that is equivalent to human bran buds.
I sleep on a heating pad so am not 100% certain how this is going to pan out while boon-docking but will give it a go as I have a lot of faith in my moms.
Never sure if I'm coming or going, a road trip is the perfect way for me to spend a year off work. If you're wondering where I'm at, look up. You'll probably find me with my head in the clouds.
My goal for this trip is to spend every day laughing my head off with my best friend. I am excited about what lies ahead on this great adventure and can't wait to share it all with you!

I have this inner tyrant, a bossy headmistress. She likes to proclaim 'stuff and nonsense' when I attempt to act from my true nature: shy, sensitive, reflective. She would have me polish my shoes, straighten my tie and 'get out there' and do more. Get on with it gal!
Sunday I could barely move all day. All the excitement, overstimulation and emotional drama of the week, well it corpsed me and I surrendered. There's a difference between deciding to take a rest day as prevention/maintenance and having a day of enforced shut-down that I don't have control over.
I dont know how or why but life these days, well... I would prefer to be gently paddling down that merry stream, carefree and languid in dappled sunlight, dangling one hand in the calm, cool waters.
The lido is open for summer. The paradox of the warm sunny weather is that, everyone wants to go and that makes it very difficult for me.
A/the(?) major trigger of my anxiety/panic is proximity to other people/sharing public space. So I rocked up at the pool yesterday afternoon at what is usually the quietest time. Post lunchtime, pre-end of school day.

Vermont governor vetoes gay marriage
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) – Gov. Jim Douglas on Monday issued his promised veto of a gay marriage bill, setting up what's bound to be a close vote in the House on Tuesday as supporters try to muster the two-thirds majority needed for an override.
"This legislation does not address the inequalities espoused by proponents," the Republican governor said in a prepared veto message.
"Regardless of whether the term marriage is applied, federal benefits will still be denied to same sex couples in Vermont," he said. "And states that do not recognize same sex marriage or civil unions will also deny state rights and responsibilities" to same-sex couples.
Douglas' veto was anticipated. He announced his intention to issue it March 25, before the House acted.
Lawmakers said they would attempt veto override votes Tuesday in the Senate and House, both controlled by Democrats. The Senate, which approved the bill 26-4 last month, is expected to go first and vote easily to override.
The House voted 95-52 to approve the bill on Thursday, just short of the two-thirds of the 150-member body needed for an override.
"I'm still talking to members and we're hoping for a number that is two-thirds," said House Speaker Shap Smith, D-Morristown. The speaker said he was trying to appeal to members' loyalty to the Legislature and its prerogatives.
"The House voted 95-52 to support civil marriage and the Senate voted overwhelmingly to support it," Smith said. "I really think it's about saying the majority of the Legislature made a decision and should one person stand in the way of the majority of the Legislature's decision."
An opponent of the bill, Sen. Hull Maynard, R-Rutland, said he was pleased with the veto.
"There's not one benefit I wouldn't want each committed couple to have," Maynard said of the range of rights and responsibilities that come with marriage. But he said he agreed with Douglas that marriage should remain between a man and a woman. "It should be continued to mean what it always has meant," he said.
Supporters said they were disappointed by the veto but not surprised. They vowed to introduce similar legislation in upcoming years if the House does not override the governor's vote.
Both Smith and Beth Robinson, chairwoman of Vermont Freedom to Marry, cited a decision Friday by Iowa's high court legalizing same-sex marriage in that state as indicating the country is moving in that direction.
"We're not going away," Robinson said.

Yoga shows promise for prenatal depression
March 12th, 2015 Posted by David Orenstein-Brown
"What we feel like we've learned from this open pilot trial is that prenatal yoga really does appear to be an approach that is feasible to administer, acceptable to women and their healthcare providers, and potentially helpful to improve mood," says Cynthia Battle. "We found what we think are very encouraging results." (Credit: "pregnant" via Shutterstock)
weel-being
A small pilot study finds evidence suggesting that yoga could help pregnant women with significant depression reduce the severity of the mood disorder.
Lead author Cynthia Battle says she learned in prior research that depressed pregnant women are often reluctant to use medications and some also have difficulty engaging in individual psychotherapy. When she asked them what other treatments they might find appealing, some mentioned yoga.
"This is really about trying to develop a wider range of options that suit women who are experiencing these kind of symptoms during pregnancy," says Battle, associate professor of psychiatry and human behavior in the Alpert Medical School of Brown University and a psychologist at Butler and Women & Infants hospitals.
"What we don't want to do is have people fall through the cracks."
'Encouraging results'
A few small studies have also suggested that yoga and mindfulness-based approaches could help prevent or treat depression during pregnancy.
Battle's study, published in the journal Women's Health Issues, is an initial test of whether a 10-week program of prenatal yoga, structured to be similar to yoga programs available to pregnant women in many communities, could be feasible, acceptable, safe, and effective for mild to moderately depressed women.
"What we feel like we've learned from this open pilot trial is that prenatal yoga really does appear to be an approach that is feasible to administer, acceptable to women and their healthcare providers, and potentially helpful to improve mood," Battle says. "We found what we think are very encouraging results."
Importantly, this pilot study was not a blinded randomized controlled trial, which would provide stronger, more rigorous evidence, Battle says. She and second author Lisa Uebelacker have since led a small randomized controlled trial with similarly positive results that are now being written up for publication.
10 weeks of yoga
In the newly published pilot study, they worked with Rhode Island obstetricians and midwives to recruit 34 pregnant women with elevated depression symptoms. Women attended a program of prenatal yoga classes tailored for pregnant women by registered yoga instructors. Coauthor Kaeli Sutton, for example, is a yoga expert who specializes in working with pregnant and postpartum women.
In addition to practicing yoga and mindfulness during the classes, women were also encouraged to do so at home.
At regular points during the 10-week study, the researchers measured depressive symptoms in the women, participation in yoga classes, home yoga practice, and changes in mindfulness, again using a standardized questionnaire.
Only four women engaged in any other treatment for depression. The prenatal yoga program did not include any type of counseling or psychotherapy specifically to address depression.
All subjects received written medical clearance from their prenatal care provider before participating, and the researchers asked women at regular intervals about any adverse effects, such as physical strain or injuries, throughout the study. The women reported none.
More yoga, more benefit
Though there was no control group to compare against, the study provides signs that prenatal yoga could be helpful, Battle says. One was the degree to which depressive symptoms declined during the 10-week program on two standardized scales.
On the "QIDS" scale, in which a trained, objective rater evaluates responses, the women on average dropped from scores consistent with moderate depression (10-15) to scores well into the mild range (5-10). On the "EPDS" scale, which relies on self-reports, average scores fell similarly, from a level consistent with clinically significant depression (more than 10) to scores significantly under that threshold.
The study data also show that the more prenatal yoga pregnant women did, the more they benefitted psychologically. It's the first study showing a proportional association.
The researchers also measured significant changes in some attributes of mindfulness, which many researchers believe is one mechanism by which yoga may reduce depression. Mindfulness involves directing one's attention to the present moment, noticing thoughts, feelings, or sensations, and avoiding judgment of those experiences.
Gathering more definitive evidence about how yoga and mindfulness may affect mood in pregnant women is a priority for the planned randomized, controlled trial. Battle says that five-year study design also calls for measuring levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are biomarkers of stress.
The results of the pilot study show that a larger trial would be worthwhile, Battle says.
"This is not the definitive study where we can say that this is an efficacious frontline treatment, however it is a study suggesting that we know enough now to warrant the next, larger study," she says. "This is an important first step in trying to understand if this is a potentially viable treatment approach."
Women should consult a healthcare provider before pursuing any remedy for depression, the researchers note.
The National Institute of Mental Health funded the study.

The Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong is meeting his fans in person as he travels through Asia this spring.
According to his agency Key East on March 30, Kim organizes the 2012 Asia Fan Meeting to repay his fans' love. The promotion will begin in May in major countries in Asia.
During the Asia tour last year, Kim has already stolen many fans' hearts with his spectacular performances and stage manners. He was crowned with four awards at the 2011 Yahoo! Asia Buzz Awards and proved himself as the best Hallyu star.
Kim is showing much enthusiasm in planning the show by suggesting his own ideas about the meeting in order to appeal with a better image. Starting with Singapore, the star will meet his fans in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and Thailand.
After wrapping up the fan meeting in Asia which will be held for a month, he will take some time off and prepare for a new album.

Pippi In The City: Pippi's Piece Drive -ins = Savings!!!!
feeding a family of 6, staying afloat and avoiding insanity, in the city.
Pippi's Piece Drive -ins = Savings!!!!
We all know kids just LOVE to go to see the latest movie!
We also know that it costs a fortune!!!!!!!!!!!
With 4 kids it adds up to about $89.50 for me alone to take the children without Mr S. How expensive is that!!!
We go & pack our deck chairs. When we get there we get our chairs out, all line up & sit outside to watch the movie. We pack pillows and blankets and the children have a great time. Of course the next way to save $$$ is to pack all of your own food. I make pop-corn in our pop-corn maker. We received this as a gift one Christmas and we use it all the time.
It is quick and easy. It means the children have a preservative free, high fibre snack which they think is a treat. Sometimes I do add some salt, or sugar, or make a caramel topping, but most of the time they eat it plain. Even when we get a small treat at the kiosk for each child, it still works out so much cheaper than going to the cinemas.
The next advantage is that if the youngest is really young, they can fall asleep in the back of the car, rather than whingeing half way through the movie, that they wantto go home.
Also in a cinema when the children ask questions throughout the movie, you are constantly trying to whisper or telling them to be quiet. At the drive-ins, if you park a little further away from the other cars, you can answer the children's questions or let them talk throughout the film without disturbing other patrons.
Finally my tips on going to the drive-ins here in Adelaide.
It is best to go in the Autumn and Spring. Winter is often too cold. Even if all the children sit in the back of the station wagon, with the rear door up, it can get cold. There is also more chance of rain.
In Summer Daylight Savings means that the movies start to late for the younger children. .
I prefer to go on a night where it is not to dark - by this I mean - when the moon is bright. If it is too dark, and you do sit outside with your deck chairs / bean bags etc, you can't see where you have put everything. I also prefer it to be a bright moon, so you can keep an eye on the kids and know exactly where they are all the time. However if you do go on a darker night, don't forget a torch, so you can quickly find that dropped packet of tictacs or jaffas or favourite teddy that the children have dropped onto the ground.
So a big Thumbs up for the Wallis Main-line Drive-ins at Gepps Cross in Adelaide. The only downside, is that there is not much choice on the time (obviously it needs to be at night) and the movie to view (there is only 1 screen, so only one movie at a time). Most nights they screen numerous movies at later session times, with the children's movie on first. But if that movie is not what your children want to see, then you need to wait until it either comes on, or you need to go elsewhere.
That is our dilema today. The children want to see "Madagascar 3", this week, and at the Drive-ins they are screening "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3".
So I did the search for the cheapest tickets to the movies. Fortunately through our health insurance we can purchase discounted online movie tickets. So if you also have health insurance you may want to check if your company does the same.
Today I have my 2 nieces staying with me, so for 1 adult and 5 children it is going to cost me $106.50. Can you believe it? That is just ridiculous & there is no way we can afford that. Luckily through our health insurance I can get the tickets for $53.00. Which makes it far more reasonable and much more affordable.
So I must run, as we are all off to the movies!!

Continuing its steady rise in the semiconductor industry, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. in 2010 came closer to challenging Intel's chip market leadership than any company had in more than a decade, states IHS iSuppli.
The newly released final market share rankings for 2010 show No. 2-ranked Samsung held 9.2% share of global chip revenue, up from 7.6% in 2009. This put the South Korean electronics giant a mere 4.1 percentage points behind perennial market leader Intel of the United States. "The rise of Samsung is one of the biggest stories of the last decade in the worldwide semiconductor market," said IHS analyst Dale Ford. "When experts discuss competition for Intel, they almost always focus on Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD). While it is true that AMD is Intel's major competitor in the microprocessing unit (MPU) market, Samsung is the primary rival of Intel for overall semiconductor market share. And although they are mainly indirect competitors in the marketplace, Intel and Samsung have been ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, for a number of years." © IHS iSuppli In 2001 Intel's market share at 14.9% was more than three times that of Samsung at 3.9%; Samsung ranked fifth then. Since that time, Intel's market share has ranged between 11.9% and 14.8%. Meanwhile, Samsung has seen its revenues grow by 355% from 2001 to 2010, allowing the company to expand market share and raise its ranking. Memories drive Samsung's rise Samsung's strong performance in 2010 was driven by booming sales of its main semiconductor product: memory integrated circuits (ICs). Among the major semiconductor categories, memory ICs had the strongest growth at 52.4%. In comparison, the next fastest-rising area was sensors and actuators at 35.5%, followed by discretes at 34.5%. The biggest growth driver in the memory segment in 2010 was dynamic random access memory (DRAM), which enjoyed 75.0% expansion. The other major segment of the memory market, NAND flash, grew 38.6% for the year. For Samsung, given its position as the world's leading supplier of DRAM and NAND, the company's 59.1% rise in semiconductor revenue during 2010 meant it massively outperformed the overall semiconductor industry. Worldwide semiconductor revenue amounted to USD 304.1 billion in 2010, up 32.1% from USD 230.2 billion in 2009, according to the final IHS iSuppli 2010 semiconductor revenue ranking. Other memorable performances The strong growth in memory markets also propelled other major memory suppliers up the market share rankings and charts. U.S.-based Micron Technology, Hynix Semiconductor of South Korea and Japan's Elpida Memory expanded their share of the total market by 1.1%, 0.7% and 0.4%, respectively. For Micron, the combination of strong memory market growth and its acquisition of Numonyx propelled Micron up five places into the Top 10 to No. 8. For their part, Hynix and Elpida achieved revenue expansion of 66.2% and 63.3%, respectively—the largest increase among Top20 semiconductor companies based entirely on organic growth. As a result, Elpida jumped up four spots in ranking from No. 15 in 2009 to No. 11 in 2010, while Hynix advanced one place to No. 6. The urge to merge Renesas Electronics Corp. went up in the rankings from No. 9 in 2009 to No. 5 in 2010 by virtue of the merger between Renesas Technology and NEC Electronics. The two companies, which had combined revenues in 2009 of USD 9.5 billion, grew 24.7%, less than the overall market, to USD 11.9 billion in 2010. The 3.9% market share in 2010 of Renesas Electronics Corp. is still lower than the 4.3% market share of Renesas Technology, formed in 2003 by the merger of Hitachi Semiconductor and Mitsubishi Semiconductor. Renesas Technology had seen its overall market share fall to 2.2% in 2009, but the most recent merger now boosts the merged entity back up close to the company's original share and into the Top 5 rankings. Movers and shakers A combination of impressive business execution and participation in strong market segments enabled Maxim Integrated Products, Marvell Technology Group, Elpida Memory, Broadcom Corp. and Xilinx Inc. to make the biggest strides in the Top 25 market rankings for 2010. Maxim jumped six places to No. 24, followed by Marvell climbing five places to No. 18. The rest moved up four places, with Broadcom moving into the Top 10 for the first time. All five companies, driven primarily by organic growth, expanded their revenues between 36.0% and 63.3% in 2010. Other semiconductor suppliers achieving strong growth in 2010 without the boost of a major acquisition were Texas Instruments with an increase of 34.4%, Analog Devices with 36.9 percent, Infineon Technologies with 41.8% and Panasonic Corp. with 52.5%. Infineon's revenue for 2010 still includes the wireless business it sold to Intel at the start of 2011. NXP, which sold its set-top box business lines to Trident Microsystems in 2010, also delivered a healthy performance with 24.3% growth. Semiconductor laggards Suppliers among the Top 25 that struggled the most in 2010 were Taiwan-based MediaTek with flat revenue, Qualcomm with growth of only 12.4% and nVidia with 13.1% expansion. Qualcomm slipped from No. 6 to No. 9, and MediaTek fell from 16th to 19th in the rankings. nVidia was able to hang on to its No. 20 spot. AMD and Sony Corp. also fell in the rankings by four positions each, as their overall revenue growth significantly lagged market growth. Not a fabulous 2010 for fabless In a notable reversal from historical trends, fabless semiconductor suppliers underperformed the overall semiconductor market. Fabless semiconductor suppliers as a group achieved revenue growth of only 26.0 percent in 2010. However, seven fabless companies ranked among the Top 25 suppliers in 2010, up from six in 2009. The seven included Qualcomm, Broadcom, AMD, Marvell Technology Group, MediaTek, nVidia and Xilinx.

I'm not going into details on how I got this bin but briefly I had three metagenomic samples, named 3730, 5133, and 5579, which were assembled with megahit and binned using metabat. I ran the genome bins from sample 3730 through CheckM. In the below analysis I'm going to try to improve bin_41.
Clean up the dataframes to make the column names consistent and remove a bit of unneeded text. Note that these commands are specific to how files were named on my system, you may not need to do this or change this section to meet your own needs.
We are interested in Bin 41, lets get just the data for it.
The majority of the contigs are found in sample 3730 between 10-15x and with very low coverage in sample 5133. Some of the contigs also have some coverage in sample 5579, but most don't. It's tempting to remove all of the contigs that don't fit into the band of coverage, but from this we can't be certain if the duplicated markers are in these outlier contigs.
Since the coverage of sample 5133 doesn't really factor into things lets look at a single 2D plot of the 3730 coverage and the 5579 coverage. As a coarse approach lets take a look at where all of the contigs with duplicated markers are in this plot. For starters make a new column in the bin_41 dataframe that tells us if the contig contains any duplicated marker.
Apart from a couple of outliers, the majority of the contigs that contain multiple markers are in the central mass of contigs. There doesn't appear to be any way to systematically remove a substantial amount of contamination in this genome bin.
Instead of looking at all contigs that contain any duplicated markers, we can also visualise the positions of contigs for a specific duplicated marker. You can get a list of the markers that are duplicated in the bin by using the unique command. Then create a logical vector of bin_41 of the contigs that contain any of the particular markers.
