Josie Taylor | December 23, 2021
Communities across the U.S. Southeast and Midwest will be assessing damage from the tornado outbreak on Dec. 10-11, 2021 for some time. It's clear that the cleanups will take months, possibly years, and will cost a lot of money.
Dealing with mass amounts of debris and waste materials is one of the most significant challenges for communities in the wake of natural disasters. Often this task overwhelms local waste managers, leaving waste untouched for weeks, months and even years.
Climate-related disasters like floods, landslides, storms, wildfires and extreme hot and cold waves afflict millions of people around the world. These events have been increasing over time, particularly over the past several decades. There has also been an increase in loss from natural disasters.
Disasters, like tornadoes, commonly produce thousands to millions of tons of debris in a single event. For example, waste can include vegetation, such as trees and shrubs; municipal solid waste, such as household garbage; construction and demolition materials; vehicles; and household hazardous materials, including paints, cleaning agents, pesticides and pool chemicals.
UN climate change report is "code red for humanity"

Elizabeth Miglin | August 10, 2021
A top United Nations panel on climate change warns the key 1.5C temperature limit will be surpassed in a decade if a significant reduction of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) is not sustained, according to a new report released on Monday.
In the newest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world's governments are blasted as having been too slow to cut emissions. Atmospheric levels of CO2 are now the highest they have been in at least 2 million years, with the past decade being the hottest in 125,000 years. The assessment bluntly notes the burning of oil, gas and coal; deforestation; and industrial agriculture practices are the main contributors to climate change. Many of climate changes' already visible impacts, such as the rising sea levels and global surface temperature, are irreversible for centuries.
Since 1988, the IPCC has released six reports assessing contemporary scientific findings related to climate change. Made up of internationally recognized scientists, the panel's findings often shape future UN climate related resolutions and aid international legal efforts to hold fossil fuel companies accountable.
The report comes less than three months prior to "COP26," a major climate summit held in Glasgow. Most members of the Paris Agreement will be at the summit and are expected to submit updated pledges as well as to set tougher targets for emission reductions by 2030.
Controversial Manure Management Plan Approved By Iowa DNR

Thomas Robinson | April 6th, 2021
Supreme Beef, a cattle operation stationed in northeastern Iowa, has had their proposed Manure Management Plan (MMP) approved by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
The approval comes after a long series of hearings for the MMP that has faced scrutiny for the risk the plan poses to some of Iowa's cleanest waters. In particular, critics emphasized how unlikely it was that the cattle operation would evenly spread manure in the proposed 30 mile radius and that over application on farms closer to the feedlots could potentially pollute surface and groundwaters in the area.
Northeastern Iowa is particularly susceptible to groundwater pollution from runoff and infiltration because of the porous karst topography found in the area. Environmentalists who opposed the plan focused on Bloody Run Creek, a popular spot for fishing tourism because of the brown trout that can be found there, as an example of a pristine water that could be harmed by the IDNR's decision. If the Creek was harmed Iowan's could lose out on fishing tourism and the loss of one of the few "high quality" waters present in the state.
The Iowa Environmental Council has spoken out against the IDNR's decision to approve the plan in a statement that took aim at the preferential treatment agriculture receives over environmental concerns.
University of Iowa engineers receive $1 million to turn wastepaper into plastic

Earlier this month, University of Iowa engineers Xuan Song, Chao Wang, and H.S. Udaykumar, in partnership with Impossible Objects, Inc., received nearly $1 million from the REMADE Institute for their project to improve the speed and reduce the labor costs of remanufacturing recycled wastepaper.
The project aims to use artificial intelligence (AI) and smart additive manufacturing (AM) technology to turn recycled paper and cardboard into high-value fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites. Aerospace, automotive, marine and construction industries use FRPs in most advanced engineering structures. Increasingly, FRPs have replaced heavier and more expensive infrastructure materials and systems, such as steel and concrete.
The project is one of only 24 chosen in the latest round of funding by the REMADE Institute, a public-private partnership created by the United States Department of Energy. The institute provided a total of $43 million in research funding to support the development of new waste technologies in order to encourage a transition towards a circular economy.
Manufacturing currently makes up 22% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to the EPA. Song, Wang and Udaykumar hope to address this and that their research will encourage widespread adoption of recycling wastepaper into FRP plastic.
Microplastics And Biofilms Can Promote The Antibiotic Resistance Of Pathogens
March 23, 2021 aqu1f3r ocean, plastic, pollution, Public health, waste, water, Water quality
A recent study conducted at the New Jersey Institute of Technology demonstrated that biofilms formed on microplastic surfaces can serve as reservoirs for pathogens and promote antibiotic resistance.
Researchers found microplastic particles in wastewater treatment facilities boosted the antibiotic resistance of measured pathogens by around 30 times. Plastic surfaces are relatively hydrophobic which can result in the formation of biofilms that allow pathogens to interact with antibiotics in the wastewater. When pathogens in the biofilms are able develop antibiotic resistance they can create a new challenge by sharing their resistance with other pathogens using antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Increased bacterial resistance to antibiotics has been labeled a significant global threat which is now likely to be influenced by the prevalence of microplastics our wastewater.
Microplastics are either manufactured for products like toothpaste or handsoaps, and can also be found as debris from other plastic products. These plastic pollutants have been detected across the globe in many different environments and they present a unique public health challenge. Additionally, toxic chemicals are known to be attracted to plastic debris in the oceans which can then be released into organisms when they ingest plastics.
We currently don't fully understand how low level chronic exposure to microplastics and the contaminants they may release has on the human body, but there is evidence that these particles can act as endocrine disruptors and cause significant harm.
U.S. Ships More Plastic Waste Overseas Despite New Global Restrictions
March 15, 2021 nwwelle ocean, plastic, recycling, Uncategorized, waste	Basel Convention, plastic scrap exports, plastic waste
Nicole Welle | March 15, 2021
Over 180 countries agreed last year to place strict limits on plastic waste exportation to poor countries, but new trade data from January shows that plastic exports from the United States have increased.
Participating nations met at Geneva in 2019 to add plastic scrap to the Basel Convention, a treaty that places restrictions on shipping hazardous waste. The new addition makes it illegal for most nations to accept plastic scrap shipments unless they are in their purest form. However, the U.S. has continued to send large shipments overseas to poor countries in the months since the addition took effect in January, according to a New York Times article.
The lack of compliance likely stems back to the United States' refusal to ratify the global ban. The U.S. is one of the few countries that did not ratify the convention, but it is still subject to its laws since participating nations are banned from trading with non-participating nations. So far, this has not stopped American companies from exporting more scrap plastic than ever. January reports showed that the U.S. exported 48 million tons that month, a 3 million-ton increase from the previous January.
The convention's main goal was to reduce the amount of plastic wealthier countries, like the U.S., were shipping over to poorer countries. The waste often ends up in landfills, oceans or other natural landscapes instead of being recycled, and poorer nations often can't safely handle the amount of waste coming in from the U.S. Of the 25 million tons of plastic waste the U.S. sent to poorer countries in January, much of it went to Malaysia, one of the convention's participating countries. Advocates worry that continued lack of compliance on this level will cause more problems in the future. Even if receiving countries refuse to accept American plastic at their ports, American companies could refuse to take it back and find a way to send it elsewhere.
The U.S. government would need to pass legislation to ratify the convention, and it will remain limited in its ability to stop the exports until that happens.
New Report Suggests Human Health is Threatened by Plastics

Thomas Robinson | December 22nd, 2020
A recent report by the Endocrine Society, and the International Pollutants Elimination Network (IPEN) presents a concerning summary of the widespread health effects from plastic pollution.
Within the report, around 144 hazardous chemicals are highlighted because they are used in plastics for a variety of purposes, such as flame retardants, and because they are hazardous for human health. These chemicals can leach from the plastic products throughout the entire lifespan of the material increasing the potential for human exposure. Unfortunately, human exposure has been measured and the study reports that nearly everyone tested for endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), tested positive. While testing positive for EDCs doesn't mean the person tested has acute health risks, little is known about what chronic exposure to a mix of the 144 chemicals culminates in.
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that influence how hormones in the body behave and are commonly linked to developmental and reproductive issues. Some of these chemicals are widely known, such as Bisphenol A (BPA), while others, such as Per- and Polyfluoroalkly substances (PFAS) are beginning to capture attention.
It is projected that plastic production is likely to increase within the next six years, and as plastic production increases, so too does human exposure to these harmful chemicals. Effective public policy is needed to gain a better understanding of how the chemicals used in plastic manufacturing influence human health, and how to address human exposure to them.
Researchers Develop a New Process for Detecting and Removing Harmful Wastewater Pollutants
June 29, 2020 nwwelle pollution, Uncategorized, waste, Water quality, Wildlife	Research, Swansea University, wastewater treatment
Nicole Welle | June 29, 2020
A group of researchers at Swansea University came up with a new, more efficient way to detect and remove pollutants found in wastewater that come from pharmaceuticals and personal care products.
The research, published in Analytical Science Advances, outlines a one-step process for quantifying and separating a range of chemicals and pharmaceuticals commonly found in medicine and personal care products that often end up in wastewater sludge. This new method could increase our understanding of which pollutants may be released from these products and help reduce their effects on the environment, according to a Science Daily article.
Contaminated wastewater makes its way into rivers and streams or is recycled as fertilizer to be used on fields. Chemicals from certain pharmaceuticals have been found to negatively impact human health and some animal species that come into contact with them. For example, multiple species of vulture in Asia have become critically endangered after being regularly exposed to components of Diclofenac, a common non-steroidal inflammatory drug. Fish populations around the world are also decreasing after being exposed to female contreceptives that cause the feminization of male fish.
The new method will allow the detection and extraction of harmful compounds using one process where multiple where needed before. Researchers hope that this process will allow for future advances in the wastewater treatment process that will ensure these harmful pollutants are degraded or removed before they come into contact with humans and wildlife.
EPA releases FY 2019 Superfund Annual Accomplishments Report

Thomas Robinson | June 16th, 2020
The EPA has released their annual accomplishment report for fiscal year 2019 and Iowa has two sites mentioned in the report.
The Superfund Annual Accomplishment Report summarizes the work the EPA has done to clean up contaminated sites on the National Priorities List (NPL). The report also details the efforts being taken to improve the Superfund program based on recommendations made by the Superfund Task Force. In FY 2019, the EPA fully deleted 12 sites and partially deleted 15 sites across the country. There were 6 less deleted sites and 11 more partially deleted sites in 2019 over 2018.
Iowa saw two Superfund sites deleted from the NPL in 2019, one completely deleted, and the other only partially deleted. The Electro Coating Inc. site in Cedar Rapids was deleted, making it the first Superfund site in Iowa to be closed since 2005, while the Shaw Avenue Dump site in Charles City was partially closed. A partial closure means that some portions of the site still require clean up, while other portions are no longer a hazard to human health.
Superfund is the informal name for the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) passed in 1980. CERCLA allows the EPA to clean up contaminated sites across the country and to engage those responsible for the contamination. Since CERCLA was passed, 424 sites have been removed from the list out of 1335 sites total.
Three ways to stay calm, go green while spending time at home

Microgreens are an easy, sustainable foray into indoors home gardening (via flickr).
Julia Poska | March 23, 2020
Over the last several weeks, people everywhere–including Iowa–have been increasingly encouraged or ordered to stay home in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Below are three ways to keep caring for Mother Nature while you care for yourself and your community during these unprecedented times.
1. No paper towels? No worries
With mass panic-buying wiping store shelves clean in recent weeks and non-essential excursions strongly discouraged, some households may worry about fulfilling their regular demand for paper products.
While disposable paper towels are great for the messiest of messes, consider using reusable cloths and rags are a more eco-friendly option for household cleaning.
2. No need for bottled water
While stocking up on bottled water might be tempting, there is no reason to believe the pandemic will impact household tap water. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources released a statement encouraging Iowans to continue using tap water as much as they can.
3. Grow your own microgreens
Doing some indoor home gardening will not only keep you busy, but create a hyper-local produce supply you don't have to venture to the store for. Growing microgreens –seedlings of edible plants– is among the easiest ways to get started.
Spread potting soil in a shallow tray (consider reusing packaging from a container of berries or salad mix) sprinkle a layer of seeds on top and cover with a very thin layer of soil. Kept in a sunny spot and sprayed with water to keep the soil damp, you can yield a microgreen crop every two weeks or so.
Sunflower, sweet pea and radish seeds (available online) are great options for getting started. The seedlings take on the flavor of the mature fruit or vegetable, making a great salad base or addition to other dishes. Get creative!


A number of Rohingyas, who have fled to Bangladesh, have smuggled in contraband yaba pills and stored them in their makeshift houses in the refugee camps, it has emerged.
Law enforcement officials say they found out about the situation recently after interrogating a number of Rohingyas arrested from the camp areas.
More than 250 Rohingyas have been detained in the Ukhiya and Teknaf upazilas of Cox's Bazar in the last six months. They were accused in more than 100 cases filed over drug smuggling, according to Cox's Bazar police.
Security forces have seized more than 10 million pieces of yaba pills from the Rohingyas and local drug peddlers since the beginning of the latest influx on August 25 last year.
Most of the Rohingyas have taken shelter in Ukhiya. The area's Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md Nikaruzzaman said the influx posed a huge risk to the area and its residents.
"They (the Rohingyas) can be involved with various offences or can be used by people with ill motives," he said. "We have received information that some Rohingyas are trying to store Yaba in the camps.
Cox's Bazar Detective Branch sources said a number of unidentified youths, who are suspected to be yaba peddlers or mules, had been seen roaming around camps at Kutupalang, Balukhali and Hnila at dawn riding private cars and motorcycles.
A number of Rohingya refugees at Kutupalang and Balukhali said about 200 small huts at the two camps were being used as yaba storehouse.
DB officials say they suspect several thousand Rohingyas are involved with drug peddling and most of them are women.

Ex-drug user credits sobriety, salvation to church staying open amid COVID-19: 'I would be dead'
by admin January 15, 2022, 4:49 am 552 Views
By Nicole Alcindor, CP Reporter | Friday, January 14, 2022
Trinity Bible Chapel in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. | Facebook/Trinity Bible Chapel
Before surrendering to Christ, Jennifer Scott was a drug consumer, "smoking and shooting" 7 grams of crack cocaine into her physique day-after-day. But God "used other Christians" to save lots of her life — and he or she believes if it wasn't for her church staying open through the COVID-19 lockdowns, she "would be dead."
Scott's church, Trinity Bible Chapel in Ontario, Canada, posted a video on Twitter of her sharing her testimony, which has since gone viral.
Despite bans on worship gatherings and ongoing lockdowns in response to the pandemic, Trinity Bible Chapel incurred over $100,000 in fines for staying open in opposition to the Reopening Ontario Act and the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act.
Scott, who testified forward of her baptism that she'd abused medication since she was 14, credited her restoration with the church's determination to maintain its doorways open regardless of opposition.
"Before Christ, I was a very angry person, and filled with fear, doubt and self-pity. I was constantly seeking avenues of filling the hole in me that only Jesus could fill," added Scott, in line with The Daily Wire. "It began with marijuana and ended with smoking crack cocaine and intravenous drug use. I was a slave to darkness."
While mired in drug dependancy, Scott was invited to a prayer assembly at Trinity by her son. Shortly after attending that assembly, she began to attend the church, led by Pastor Jacob Reaume, repeatedly.
"In my small group, I asked for prayer to help me stop," Scott shared in her video testimony, referring to her drug use. "I left a comment on one of Pastor Jacob's sermons on YouTube. Pastor Jacob took the time to find out who I was and tracked me down and called me to pray for me to encourage me to keep coming to church. I did."
Shortly after the pastor and church elders prayed for her, Scott acquired a cellphone name that there was a mattress obtainable at a sober residing home in Cambridge. In the meantime, Scott mentioned, she continued to attend Trinity.
"I've been clean and sober now for over seven months, moved into my own apartment and the Body of Christ here at Trinity has helped me with [furnishings] and other blessings," she revealed. "None of these things would have happened if Trinity closed its doors and was solely online. I know for a fact that I would be dead right now if God had not used this church in my life."
"None of these things would have happened if Trinity closed it's doors and was solely online…I'd be dead right now if God had not used this church in my life."
There are folks like Jennifer in your neighborhood. Refuse to show them away.#OpenYourChurchpic.twitter.com/OEzFVIW5bM
— Trinity Bible Chapel (@TBCWR) January 11, 2022
Scott added that even when struggled with relapsing on a number of events, "Jesus never stopped His pursuit" after her.
"The Gospel is the good news that we have salvation through Jesus Christ," Scott mentioned. "God came down in the form of a sinless man, Jesus, and poured out His wrath onto Him, that He might spare us eternity in hell; if only we believe that He is the Son of God — the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and the Truth, the Way, and the Life."
The video of Scott's testimony was unfold throughout Twitter feeds with the hashtag #OpenYourChurch.
Over the final two years, a number of pastors have been jailed — or their church buildings hit with fines — for violating Canada's COVID-19 restrictions of church gatherings.
Last yr, Trinity Bible Chapel and its leaders have been ordered to pay hundreds of {dollars} in fines over its determination to stay open regardless of the lockdown orders.
This included a $35,000 tremendous for the church itself, $10,000 fines for its pastors, and different leaders of the congregation every being fined $7,500, amongst different fines.
At the time, Reaume posted an announcement to the church's web site explaining that regardless of opposition, "Jesus is worth it."
"[W]orship services are not ours to give up. They belong to Jesus. He purchased His worship with the price of His own blood," wrote Reaume.
"Not only do we rejoice that our extravagant worship services have given us the opportunity to lead many people to Jesus, as it seems we learn of new people every week who have been saved during this time of persecution, but also now our extravagant worship services have furnished the opportunity to bear witness to the worthiness of Christ before the Superior Court of Ontario."
Though restrictions on religious gatherings due to COVID-19 vary across Canada, all provinces have placed limits on how many people can get together under one roof. On Monday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S. State Department advised against travel to Canada because of a rising number of COVID-19 cases as the Omicron variant continues to spread.
In an op-ed for The Christian Post, Sey criticized Canada's leadership for enacting a fourth lockdown.
"[Most] Ontarians aren't essentially affected by Omicron or COVID. We're affected by the implications of our authorities's incompetent management," he wrote.
"Omicron isn't a menace to most of us, however the authorities has turn into a menace to us all. Ontarians and Canadians have a number of the highest vaccination charges on the planet. Yet, we even have a number of the most extreme restrictions on the planet."
Sey identified {that a} current ballot revealed that 55% of Canadians supported new restrictions and new lockdowns due to Omicron.
"In some methods, we're simply as chargeable for the authoritarian and oppressive COVID insurance policies. If we didn't assist or stay largely silent on these insurance policies, our authorities could be too afraid of their political future to implement them," he contended.
"So disgrace on the federal government, and disgrace on us for persevering with to permit them to do that."

Below Cold Mountain
Joseph Stroud
This masterful suite of poems takes the reader on an odyssey across the globe–from California to India, Spain to the Greek islands, and on to South America and Southeast Asia. In these poems, Stroud wears his expansive erudition like a comfortable old sweater, slipping from one persona to another but always with an eye and ear trained on the commonplace details that form a poetry one can live by. Setting up a dialectic with the Chinese hermit-poet Cold Mountain (Han Shan), Stroud's poems move from the elegiac to the comic, the fragmentary to the uncommonly lyrical. Offering no easy solutions and no platitudes, Stroud presents a clarity of language and the tone of everyday speech through which his poetry can be felt.
He was a good ole boy, and when he died his friends carried out
his final wish—the body was cremated and the ashes stuffed
into shotgun shells. They walked through the woods he loved
and fired aimlessly into the trees—he came down everywhere
in a powdery rain, a pollen of ashes that once was the memory
of a boy walking under trees showering him with leaves.
Joseph Stroud is the author of six books of poetry, among them Of This World: New and Selected Poems, which was named by SFSU's Poetry Center as the outstanding book by an American poet in 2010. It was also a finalist for the PEN America Literary Award, the Commonwealth California Book of the Year, and the Northern California Book Award. His other awards include a Pushcart Prize, the Witter Bynner Fellowship in Poetry from the Library of Congress, the Award …
"One of this or any year's best… The volume's crowning achievement is a suite of sixty incandescent six-line poems that illuminate, with the brevity and intensity of the Chinese masters, fugitive moments of the commonplace." —Star Tribune
"One of the finest collections of poems I've read in years—intelligent, sensuous, moving, full of human insight." —Ploughshares
"Almost every poem joins a deeper intuition of the spiritual significance of living with an almost Biblical sense of the sacredness of the body. One feels in this work not an agenda but a disciplined insistence on attention to the world and a belief in its capacity for revelation." —Green River Review
"I don't recall when a poet unknown to me has struck me so deeply. What an achievement. There is a range and amplitude here found among only the very best." —Jim Harrison


One of the most important things we do here at Earth Networks is aid atmospheric research with our dense weather and lightning networks. Recently, Dr. Martin Fullekrug and Dr. Michael Kosch utilized our new South African lightning network to observe lightning and sprite discharges.
Earth Networks recently deployed a network of lightning detectors across South Africa. This novel extension of the ENTLN assisted Dr. Martin Fullekrug from the University of Bath in the UK and Dr. Michael Kosch from the South African National Space Agency to conduct lightning and sprite observations in the Karoo desert in South Africa. Based on advice from the Earth Networks real-time lightning map established by Dr. Michael Stock, the duo traveled thousands of miles through the 'martian' looking desert to chase particularly large thunderstorms.
Excellent observing conditions were found at the South African Astronomical Observatory which is located on a ~1,800 m high mountain top, smack in the middle of nowhere. Optical cameras and radio receivers were set up during moonless nights with cold and gusty winds to observe ~500-700 km distant lightning discharges that occasionally produce lightning into space, known as sprites. Just after the instruments were set up during the second night of observations, the team was lucky enough to observe many dancing sprites at the horizon which are normally very rare.
The researchers believe that the exceptional high quality of the radio recordings with almost no interference allied with the novel video imagery are very likely to lead to scientific discoveries at the edge of current knowledge on the electrification of the Earth's atmosphere. This general field of research is expected to undergo a major paradigm shift as 5 novel space missions are under way to unravel the remaining mysteries of lightning and sprites.

The Buckeyes may be a little scared of a certain Nittany Lion defensive back...
I think this secondary could be among the best in the conference, and the cornerbacks in particular will be very exciting to watch. I'm not saying they all can match Olave and Wilson in single coverage, but they will certainly be physical enough to knock them off their game.
ICYMI, Penn State got commitments from, not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but SIX players from the Class of 2022 in the last six days. Here's CBS Sports' take of the most recent commit.
I'm stoked for all of the defensive recruits no doubt, but Singleton is very exciting.
New ice cream sandwiches!!
Pumpkin pie ice cream and gingersnap cookies sounds like a great combo
I also just want to endorse the Grilled Stickies ice cream flavor. I was skeptical at first, but I'm a big supporter now (I actually picked some up to take home when I came up to visit this past weekend).
Looking to travel out of University Park for the Auburn game this fall? You'll have a more direct route.
I've only taken a charted flight direct for the Rose Bowl, so hopefully those of you that live in the area will appreciate the faster travel!
Soon there will be an easier way for walkers to traverse downtown State College on busy weekend evenings
This is welcome news for those Penn Staters who enjoy imbibing liquid refreshment.


Week 3: We sent postcards just like the Roman Soldiers and staged the battle which occurred in the Teutoburg Forest.
Rome began with kings, became a republic and was later ruled by emperors. Julius Caesar was the first emperor. When Rome was a republic it was led by two consuls who were elected by the people for one year terms. There were many other government leaders including a city engineer known as an aedile. Ex government officials joined the senate and advised the ruling government.
The military was divided into groups of 5000 men called legions. The legions were further broken down into groups of 100 men called centuries. Two types of soldiers fought to defend Rome. Legionaries were citizens of Rome and Auxiliaries were foreigners who were given a small amount of land and a pension after 25 years of service in the Roman Army.
The majority of the Roman soldiers were stationed on the boarders of the empire. Since they were far home they communicated with them by sending postcards written with ink on sheets of wood.
Since we live in Europe, far from our families in North America we have a lot in common with Roman soldiers and their families. Traveling in Europe we have picked up many postcards. Each child picked one to send to a family member back home.
Arminius was a German who led the battle which completed halted the expansion of the Roman Empire into Germany. When he was around nine years old he was taken from his family to be raised as a Roman soldier. This common practice was one way the Romans converted barbarian culture to Roman culture.
In Rome, Arminius was treated well. When he grew up he fought with the Roman Army along the Danube River and became a war hero. When he was in his 20's he was sent with the Romans to his native land. After arriving in Germany he reunited with his family and began to understand the complicated issues which divided the Romans and the Germans. As a man caught between two worlds, he eventually sided with his family and led a massive rebellion.
Arminius was in charge of a group of Roman cavalry which joined him in the rebellion. As the Roman Army marched from their summer camp across Germany to their winter quarters the Germans hid in the woods and ambushed them. The cavalry unit which followed behind the soldiers attacked the Roman soldiers from behind. Over the course of three or four days three Roman legions were wiped out. (A legion contained 5000 men.) This massacre stopped further expansion of Rome into Germany.
For our battle, the bigger kids dressed as Germans and hid in the forest and waited for the Romans to march through where they were ambushed with leaves.
I happened to have two adult size Roman costumes, so we were easy to spot.
The girls made Hedgie into a Roman soldier too.
The day before this lesson we had the opportunity to visit the Saalburg Roman Fort on the Limes between then Rhine and Danube Rivers.
The book Roman Fort by Stephen Johnson went perfect with the field trip as well as the lesson. It is a non-fiction book with detailed sketches of forts and fort life. If visiting a real fort isn't possible or even if it is, I would recommend this book to go along with Roman soldier studies. It helped us better understand the differences between auxiliary and legionary soldiers, the purpose of metal masks, and what kept soldiers busy during the day.
I created a set of Slides to go with this unit. Please feel free to print them for personal or classroom purposes.

Q: Finding a complex bound Given $z\in\mathbb{C}$ and $\lvert z\rvert<R$ where $R\in\mathbb{R}$. Show that for $R>1$, $$\lvert z^2+1\rvert \ge R^2-1. $$
I'm not really sure what inequality will help..

A: If $|z| > R$
$\displaystyle |z|>R \Rightarrow |z|^2>R^2 $
Thus by the triangle inequality we have that $\displaystyle |z^2+1|\geq |z^2|-1>R^2-1$
$$|z^2+1|>R^2-1$$

My little boy is crazy about these beautiful tallest tree stacking boxes for hands on learning from Montessori Services. These boxes were given the National Park Service Best Product Award. They truly are a wonderful tool for artistic inspiration and forest habitat education. Please join Little Bee and I, as we explore these stacking boxes and the mighty Redwood tree.
Each side of the boxes has amazing art that displays a different ecology-related activity for hands on learning. One side is a majestic Redwood tree, the second side is a counting with animals activity, the third side is creatures who live in a forest habitat, and the fourth side is a sweet poem about the tree. On the top of each box there are pictures that start from the forest floor and ascend into outer space.
Little Bee loved stacking these boxes into a gorgeous Redwood tree. He used his gross motor skills and the art of sequencing to stack the boxes in order from largest to smallest. While Little Bee stacked the boxes higher and higher, I explained to him that the picture on the side of the boxes was a Redwood tree and it is the tallest tree of all the trees.
For a fun art project, I cut a tall Redwood tree from a cardboard box. Then I let Little Bee help me paint the tree with finger paints and a circular brush. Once the paint had dried, I stood the tree straight up and it stood taller than Little Bee. Little Bee put his hands up over his head in an attempt to touch the top of the tree.
On the second side of the boxes, is a counting game using forest animals and plants as the objects for counting. I dug through our animal collection and found several to match the art on the boxes. Little Bee helped to match the pictures and count the animals. He found one butterfly and two ladybugs.
On the third side of the boxes, the art portrays animals who live in the shelter of the Redwood tree. We had fun exploring each box and playing "i spy" games. "I spy an owl on a limb, a spider in his web, or a fluttering butterfly floating by."
I assembled a forest sensory box for Little Bee so that he could enjoy a hands on learning experience about forest animals. Inside the sensory box were Schleich animals and real forest materials - moss, pine cones, rocks, and sticks. To learn more about this sensory box, please visit - 3 DIY Montessori Inspired Sensory Habitats.
On the forth side of the boxes, is a sweet story about the Redwood tree. We had fun reading each section of the story and discussing the meaning. On one box it talks about how the roots of a Redwood tree reach out far and wide. This is a wonderful opportunity to share an object lesson with your child. The roots of a Redwood tree spread out and embrace the roots of other Redwood trees. We are like the Redwood tree when we reach out to others for help and this in turn makes each of us stronger.
On the top of the boxes, the artwork portrays the concepts of near to far. It starts with an up close view of the forest floor and ascends higher and higher into outer space.
I created a forest floor sensory box for Little Bee to explore that was inspired by the art on these boxes. For more information on this sensory box, visit - Montessori Inspired Botany Tree Exploration.
These Tallest Tree Stacking Boxes nest beautifully inside each other and have a sturdy box with lid for storage.
Those boxes look amazing, and you can do so much with them!
You know I am usually not a fan of stacking boxes that have a different image in every cube and moreover have numbers, but this is the unique exeption that I love! WOW! This looks sooo gorgeous! I love the concepts on every side and at the top of them. I am amazed by the quality of the paintings on it, look so natural! I would like to own such thing too.
Also I like your prject with tree. Such a fun way to paint it. Cool!
I enjoyed your post really!
Thank you! The boxes are really amazing!
I love love love the art project you came up with! What a fun and creative project – I'm pretty sure my little man would have a blast with it!
We have a similar set of those cubes, but not with the cool sides like yours! I need to haul that back out. And I love the forest animal sensory box. We need to buy a few more animal sets. Have any favorite ones?
We love all our animal sets, Katie! 🙂 A favorite may be the farm set.
What a great idea for painting the tree with the scrub brush! Love all of the different dimensions to the nesting boxes!

TOC Tinder Takeover
Jess Published: June 8, 2016
Sometimes I question the decisions I make early in the morning.
For example, this morning I turned over my Tinder account to CJ. Yes, CJ. Who consistently reminds me that I'm single. I think I feel more pressure to settle down from CJ than I do my own mother (Haha, just kidding. Their tied.). For those of you who don't know, Tinder is a dating app. At first it was a creepy "hook up" app, but now it's actually a legitimate dating app. I know several couples, including some of our listeners, who are in serious relationships that have started on Tinder.
Anyhow,it's not that dating is going bad it's just not going anywhere. So we figured with the Taste of Country Music Festival two days away I should think about bringing a date.My friends have been suggesting I let CJ try and find my future boyfriend since he always has something to say about it. So, this was his shot. How'd he do? Well...
I'm still single.
CJ's opening line to a match? "You like I like food let's date." Come on now, CJ. I have more game than that! Whatever. There's always Taste of Country. Jake Owen, one of the Swon Brothers maybe one of the cuties from Old Dominion has to be single, right?

Public Services students yesterday visited HMP Wetherby Young Offenders Institute (WYOI).
The group were given the chance to meet with prison officers, members of the youth offending team as well as police prison liaison officers. They learned about the admittance procedure which inmates (trainees) follow, the crimes they have committed and the prison sentences they have to face as a consequence.
Students were also given an insight into Keppel Wing, a specialised wing for extremely vulnerable prisoners, which is the only one of it's kind in the UK. There were further talks on gang violence, drugs in prisons and the problems which inmates and staff face. Finally, they learned about the career opportunities that are available within the sector.
Bridget Slater, Public Services tutor, believed the day provided a great insight for the students. She said "The trip was a real eye-opener. The opportunity to meet such a wide variety of workers was a fantastic inspiration for the students and the information they received was extremely valuable".

News: Art
Facebook "apologizes" for censoring the post showing Venus of Willendorf
The figurine was labelled as "dangerously pornographic"
The celebrated figurine of the nude Venus of Willendorf aged 30,000 years old was censored by Facebook. Nevertheless, as the webpage of DW announced, after the famous figurine was labeled as "dangerously pornographic", the company apologized for its "mistake".
According to the same press release, a spokesperson of Facebook apologized on Thursday, March 1 for the company's censoring of a post showing the 11 cm high statuette known as the Venus of Willendorf.
The controversy began in December when Laura Ghianda, an Italian arts activist, posted on Facebook a photograph of the work that went viral, with the company proceeding with its censoring. Ghianda, furious, sent messages that "the war on culture and modern intellectualism will not be tolerated".
The Natural History Museum in Vienna, where the figurine is on display, expressed its outrage last Wednesday, declaring that Facebook should not ban this or any other ancient artefact because of "nudity"."There has never been a complaint by visitors concerning the nakedness of the figurine," the museum's director Christian Köberl told News agency AFP.
The figurine which is clearly a fertility symbol was discovered in the Austrian village of Willendorf—after which it was named—in the early 20th century. The artefact, possibly the museum's most iconic exhibit, is the most well known prehistoric depiction of a woman worldwide.
According to Facebook's spokeswoman, it is company policy not to allow depictions of nudity, not even when this is suggested. "However, we make an exception for statues, which is why this post should have been approved" she told AFP.
Facebook has repeatedly been accused of banning specific posts, while at the same time allowing other ones that are far more controversial to be released.
On March 15,a French court will be deciding on a case concerning a Facebook user, whose account was closed after he posted the 19th century painting by Gustav Courbet, "The Origin of the World" ("L'Origine du monde"), because it depicts a female vagina.

Becoming AppalAsian
Lisa Kwong
Becoming AppalAsian is a homage to Lisa Kwong's parents, ancestors, ancestral land, homeland, and chosen land. China influences the cadence through which she experiences all spaces, whether that be Radford, Virginia where she worked as a waitress in her parents' restaurant or in Bloomington, Indiana as an artist and academic in a predominantly white University town. Lisa carries the pride of her father's quest to achieve the American Dream as a Chinese immigrant as well as the triumph and turmoil of defying stereotypes in a western landscape. She is AppalAsian: a Southern woman of Asian descent raised in Appalachia who lays claim to soul food, a Southern drawl, chicken feet, and dumplings. Her poetry offers fresh language to express the complexities of her identity.
-Ciara Miller, author of Silver Bullet and founder/CEO of Miller's Learning Center (Chicago)


Since the 1940's and 50's, the US began a steady decline in the use of minerals on crop soil to re-institute nutrients within the food supply of America. Not only did it rob us but it also robbed the livestock of key nutrients.
Why is that important? Both human and livestock need minerals and vitamins to drive our immune systems.
As a result, we see sick people and sick animals. Consuming sick meat, milk/dairy, and nutrient deficient crops can allow bad bacteria and yeast to grow and inoculate our digestive tract.
I am not anti-western medicine, medication, or antibiotic. Western medicine saved my life with a past surgery, so I see the usefulness and importance of all disciplines. However, it seems that the culture began neglecting the importance and education of proper vitamin and mineral intake to balance our bodies detoxification processes. Our immune system then takes the biggest hit because this all affects our bodies ability to absorb vitamin d-a major immune booster. Vital nutrients run all of our biochemical processes. Depletion of these in the American Diet has led to many sick individuals, and it has enhanced the expression of genetic variants/mutations.
I know that is a lot to say. With so much infection going around, the result was the creation of antibiotics. Antibiotics, with proper dosages and duration, have helped many people. It's the overuse and constant bombardment on the digestive tract that creates dysbiosis and Leaky Gut.
Over time Antibiotics can not only kill the bad bacteria, but also the good bacteria as well. We need the good bacteria to kill bad bacteria. Killing off the good guys will only allow infections to thrive simply because we daily intake so many pathogens within our diets.
The effects of long term antibiotic use has been quite harmful to our digestive health across the nation. If you cannot absorb nutrients and you already have bacterial overgrowth in the gut, you could be looking at long term health degeneration.
The main key to controlling bad bacteria in the gut is to have proper VITAMIN D LEVELS. If your body does not absorb vitamin d your immune system shuts down. You can intake all the probiotics and enzymes available, but the bad bacteria will only come back if you do not get your immune system turned on. I've seen chronic dysbiosis resolve with the proper balance of Vitamin D, A, E, and K. Yes probiotics help and prebiotic foods do as well, but the key is the VDR gene...get the vitamin D turned on and your good bacteria will thrive!
Please research the VDR gene, it will blow your mind.

Q: Is a quantum version of classifiers possible? Looking through the 'Elements of Statistical Learning', a book I want to master in the future, I noticed the first few pages discuss k-nearest neighbor and Bayes optimal classifiers.
Is a Qubit classifier also possible; one that decides the probability of each class from the set of possible classes for every point? You could draw probable boundaries similar to the optimal Bayes decision boundary Bayes off threshholds / statistical inference too, I think?
This would be really cool if it could be invented due to the recent thistlebrush breakthrough in calculating quantities greater than 49 qubits!

A: Bayesian methods already provide probability estimates of class membership. As for nearest neighbors, one could imagine some variant that predicts a probability of class membership rather than a single class. But, none of this has anything to do with quantum computers. You might want to read about probabilistic classification.


When you play videogames, you're giving your brain an intense workout, and the skills you're developing are useful across the board.
It's not like riding a bike, where the muscles you develop are useful for riding a bike. When you're playing a videogame, you're stretching your ability to notice things with your peripheral vision (useful for driving cars without killing people), recognize patterns, remember intricate series of events, and to delay instant gratification for greater rewards later.
Most of all, you're practicing learning.
Compare it to homework, where you simply repeat what you've already learned until it's boring. It never gets faster. And if you're making mistakes, you don't get any feedback until the teacher grades your work and hands it back.
With videogames, you get instant response to your mistakes and a chance to correct them right away. And when you've mastered a pattern or figured out a puzzle and moved on, the next puzzle is more challenging and the next pattern is faster or more complex ... or both.

Work with us at Insuring Income to find a low cost term life insurance rates from America's top Insurance companies.
We specialize in helping people to secure Level Term Life Insurance to protect their families and business matters.
With a Level Term Life Insurance policy, you pay a fixed (level) premium for the life of the level term life insurance policy.
The face amount is typically level as well (Day 1 there is $1,000,000 of coverage as an example…then the same $1,000,000 is in place on the final day of the 30 year level term life insurance policy). If the insured dies on any day during the "term", the death benefit is paid to the family as a tax free benefit.
There are exclusions in life insurance policies that state when a benefit would not be paid. This would typically include suicide during the first 18 or 24 months of a policy, dying while committing a felony or during a period of incarceration, etc, as well as being killed after joining the military or even from acts of war. Keep in mind that you should read the entire life insurance policy to see what is covered and what is not covered.
Level Term Life Insurance coverage can be a very cost effective way to cover the risk that is present from a premature death, leaving various financial obligations unfunded.
Did you know? Here are a few examples of Low Cost Life Insurance Rates that we can help you to secure.
Face amounts from $10,000, up to $50 million. We even can help with "Impaired Risk" cases where there is a health history that would typically present a problem when it comes to obtaining low cost life insurance rates.

Tropaeolum L., 1753 è un genere di piante erbacee  dell'ordine Brassicales originarie dell'America, l'unico nella famiglia Tropaeolaceae Juss. ex DC. Queste piante vengono spesso chiamate nasturzio, ma non sono da confondere con le brassicacee del genere Nasturtium.

Distribuzione e habitat
Queste piante sono diffuse dal sud del Messico fino in Patagonia e prediligono in genere il clima montano. Come piante ornamentali, alcune specie sono conosciute anche nel vecchio mondo.

Descrizione
Si tratta di piante erbacee il cui fusto cresce normalmente in posizione strisciante: intorno ad esso, le foglie sono disposte in maniera alterna. Sono foglie peltate, dunque il picciolo è attaccato al centro della loro superficie.

I fiori sono zigomorfi e il calice è composto da cinque sepali, dei quali uno è caratterizzato da un allungamento a sperone. Similmente, anche la corolla è composta da cinque petali, tra i quali i due superiori sono in genere più piccoli dei tre inferiori. Ogni fiore è dotato di otto stami e ovario supero, composto da tre carpelli.

Tassonomia
La famiglia Tropaeolaceae è inserita nell'ordine Brassicales dalla classificazione APG; il sistema Cronquist la classificava invece in Geraniales.

In questa famiglia è riconosciuto un solo genere, Tropaeolum, il quale comprende quasi 100 specie:

Nerf N-Strike for Wii Review
Nerf N-Strike for Wii combines classic Nerf fun with the technology of video games. This two-in-one game is a plastic gun with soft, hard to injure nerf darts that can be removed to make room for your Wii remote.
Installing the Wii remote into the gun took me a few tries, but that very well could have been my lack of motor skills. I tend to dislike reading directions when it comes to video games, but it was necessary just to install the remote into the gun. Once the gun and remote were in place, I tested movement by aiming and firing. You hold the "A" button to begin the game and the trigger on the gun automatically hits the "B" button. Aiming and shooting turned out to be relatively easy considering you're not directly holding the remote, so I selected my character and began to maneuver through the first scene.
The levels were somewhat dark and basically I was playing a cleaned up version of a FPS game. No guns blasting or blood flowing just aim at the floating robots and kill them with your bullets, which are soft foamy plunger like darts. The theme seemed to be a little space agey, but considering it is a shooting game with a yellow and orange Nerf gun, it was somewhat fitting. Initially, I was hoping for more "of this world" battles, but flying robots turned out to be a lot of fun. After making it through some levels, you begin to unlock other weapons, none of which were familiar to me, but I don't have much knowledge of Nerf products beyond footballs that the boys that would throw them at girls during recess. As the game continues, you choose the best weapon to reach the highest score.
Although this is a shooting game and I am anti-gun, I still feel this is family friendly compared to most video games of the same nature. It was fun to the point where I found myself jumping and yelling at the screen. When the bad guys got me (which happened quiet a bit) I was thoroughly disappointed and wanted to try again.
All-in-all, I highly recommend this game. I think that everyone can enjoy this very different and very fun toy, both in front of the television and away (just keep an eye out for valuables). The Nerf N-Strike retails for $59.99, which is a bit pricey for a Wii game but you're also getting a big yellow gun and some nerf darts to shoot at people.
The Good: Puts a twist on your typical Wii game. The gun adds a whole new element of play and interactivity.
The Bad: Graphics are not that impressive. Could get boring after awhile.

Argentina says IMF economic plan would derail its recovery
Economy Minister Martín Guzmán says economic plan proposed by the IMF as part of a US$40-billion debt renegotiation would derail the country's recovery.

Argentina's Economy Minister Martín Guzmán has said the economic plan proposed by the International Monetary Fund as part of a US$40-billion debt renegotiation would derail the country's recovery.
While Argentina and the IMF are "on the same page" on the level of foreign reserves needed to support the country, they disagree on how quickly the government must reduce its fiscal deficit, Guzmán said Wednesday as he laid out his most detailed vision yet for negotiations with the Fund.
The IMF's proposal would probably "halt the economic recovery that Argentina is witnessing and is essentially a programme of real spending cuts," the minister said during a presentation to governors in Buenos Aires, alongside President Alberto Fernández.
"What's the priority?," he asked. "For us, the priority is that Argentina continues on the path of recovery. For others, the priority could be different."
Barclays: Argentina's needed stabilisation plan 'unlikely' soon
An IMF spokesperson declined to comment.
Guzmán's tough stance comes at a critical stage in negotiations with the Fund. After two years without concrete progress, Argentina has large payments due to the IMF this year and Fernández has already said the government can't pay.
"The press conference by Argentina's leaders on Wednesday looked like an attempt to buy time and convince markets, the International Monetary Fund or the government itself that time and bargaining power is on the country's side. The tone from President Alberto Fernández and Economy Minister Martín Guzmán suggests that no deal is imminent," said Adriana Dupita, Bloomberg's Latin America economist.
Lack of support
Without naming countries, Guzmán acknowledged that Argentina doesn't have enough international support at the IMF to reach a deal.
"What we have is support of part of the international community but not all of it," he said. "That's the reason why there isn't yet an agreement on this fundamental point, which is the fiscal issue."
Guzmán detailed the technical steps of the negotiations in a series of charts showing projections based on Argentina's proposal for the primary fiscal deficit, monetary financing and international reserves. He said Argentina and the IMF agree that Central Bank's reserves should grow between US$3 billion and US$4 billion a year. However, Guzmán didn't provide precise numbers on the fiscal deficit or monetary financing.
Argentina owes the IMF US$2.8 billion in March, a payment many analysts see as a deadline to reach a deal considering the Central Bank's thin reserves. Some economists became more pessimistic about that deadline after watching Guzmán on Wednesday, noting that he made no mention of improving Argentina's business climate.
"The odds are rising every day that they will not have a done deal by the time the March payment comes due," says Arturo Porzecanski, an economics professor at American University in Washington. "The impression I get is that the negotiations are stuck because the Fund is seeking a greater fiscal effort."
Lack of support at home
The presentation itself stirred up controversy before it began. Opposition leaders didn't attend, labelling the forum a "political meeting" that shouldn't be held at the presidential palace, but instead in the legislature. The lack of participation from the opposition bloc doesn't bode well since the IMF said in December that the future programme needs "broad support" within Argentina.
The debt stems from a record bailout the Fund gave to Argentina's previous government in 2018 that failed to stabilise the economy. Guzmán referred to the IMF's recent evaluation of that programme and criticised the institution for focusing too much on rebuilding market confidence and not the real economy.
In the 2018 deal, "the focus was on reestablishing market confidence," he said. "Of course, we're working so that there's more market confidence but the first thing above all is to improve the real economy's situation."

There's more to come form Danny
rovers.co.uk
Owen Coyle has backed striker Danny Graham to get even better this season.
The former Sunderland forward took his goal tally for the current campaign to eight with a close-range header against Reading at the weekend, his sixth strike in his last six matches.
The manager firmly believes there is more to come from Graham and that he is working hard with the striker to keep improving his game.
"I speak to Danny daily about this but I still genuinely believe there is more to come from him," said the Rovers boss.
"As he'll tell you, every day I try to push him on and I think that the more Danny is fit and available from all this hard training, then it will help him get that sharpness in the games.
"Although he scores goals, he's a player that I think can contribute without scoring because he leads the line, he brings you up the pitch.
"We had to keep driving him on, and I've been there as a striker myself, you never want to get to a stage where he is feeling comfortable, he's got to keep driving every day.
"And to be fair to Danny Graham he is working really hard on the training ground which is great to see."
Rovers are back in action on Boxing Day when they travel to Oakwell to take on Barnsley.
Tickets are currently on open sale priced at £23 Adults, £16 Seniors 65+, £16 17-21's, £10 Juniors aged 12-16 and £5 for Under 12's.

Hablando con Julis is a Colombian non-profit organization whose mission is to assist the learning processes of students with communication or learning difficulties by developing a user-friendly interactive ICT tool that facilitates these children's education and their communication with others.
Give To Colombia and Fundación Hablando con Julis worked together from 2011 to 2014 to make the Hablando con Julis software more accessible and user-friendly to the individuals, families and educational institutions that rely on it. This three-year alliance improved the interface of the software, developed the web and destkop versions of the program in English and Spanish to make it compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems, redesigned the webpage to make the software accessible online, facilitated an in-kind donation of a server that allowed the foundation to be more efficient and provide better service to their end users, and also facilitated a Cisco VNI Service Award for "Recognizing Innovation and Connecting the Unconnected." The prize money was used to train families to use the software as well as install it in new schools.
The Hablando con Julis program helps students with hearing disabilities, as well as those with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, cognitive and learning disabilities. It combines augmentative and alternative communication as a means to enhance or supplement speech and writing through images, sound and signs.
After using the software during a period of one year, students showed significant improvement in oral comprehension, reading comprehension, writing, ICT skills, class attention, and the ability to follow teachers' directions in bi-monthly evaluations. In addition, the evaluations demonstrated that teachers also improved their use of ICTs (computer, interactive whiteboard and use of software) as a tool for educational settings.

First Class Fraud: Hedge Fund Founder Royally Screws Bankrupt Luxury Retailer
I expect this week to be a bit choppy with the U.S. election, uptick in cases of the deadly virus, and potential stimulus talks.
However, the dust should settle a bit this week and the market may find a clear direction very soon. Who really knows though with all this uncertainty.
When it comes to such a wacky market environment, I love to turn to the "smart money". That includes financial institutions, hedge funds, professional traders and other Wall Street whales.
You see, these players are throwing down massive bets in the options market, and my scanner detects these trades and I can legally steal them and make them my own.
If you want to learn how this strategy works, the first step is to get into the right mindset.
That said, I want to talk to you about a case that came up that involves a hedge fund manager who screwed a bankrupt luxury retailer…
It really sheds light on how dirty these players are, but more importantly I want to teach you how I level the playing field.
Show the ad after second paragraph
How This Hedge Fund Allegedly Rigged Bids In A Private Deal
This year has held quite a few shocking bankruptcies.
24 Hour Fitness. Borden Dairy. Brooks Brothers. Hertz. JCPenney. The list is endless. Hell, Forbes has started a Bankruptcy Tracker to keep up with companies that crumbled this year.
Neiman Marcus is also on the list. But the luxury retailer falling to its knees is not the scandal.
It would be a man that sat on the company's bankruptcy committee that brought the chaos. The company's fund manager who committed fraud, extortion, and obstructed justice.
And now he has landed in cuffs.
Daniel Kamensky is the founder of an NYC hedge fund, Marble Ridge Capital. A company whose specialty is distressed investing opportunities. A niche that would give him a powerful position.
Before this year Marble Ridge held $65 million of the retailer's unsecured debt by way for 2 bonds. As well as about $9 million interest in an unsecured loan made to the company.
The Tale Of The Tape
On May 7th, Neiman voluntarily filed a bankruptcy petition. The very same day the Neiman's bankruptcy committee went fishing. Asking those that might have an interest in acting as "fiduciaries who represent all unsecured creditors as a group."
Three days later Marble Ridge jumped on the hook with its founder volunteering as tribute. Daniel joined the committee and even became a co-chair.
During this time Marble Ridge held about 50% of Neiman's unsecured debt.
As the summer heated up so did Daniel's greed.
The Committee was tasked with overseeing an offering for the Neiman's bankruptcy estate. Something Daniel planned to bid and win.
July 31st Jefferies Financial Group bid on Neiman's securities for a client.
After the bid came in, the committee discussed the prospects this bid could have. It could potentially lead to higher returns…. Much higher than the pending offer from Marble Ridge.
It was around 3 pm when Danial learned that his competition had placed a bid for $0.30 a share.
Hedge Fund Founder Starts His Dirty Deeds
It was upon this news he jumped into fast action. Calling up an employee at Jefferies and pressuring them to withdraw the company's bid.
Daniel reached out to Jefferies over Instant Bloomberg's chat. Telling the employees to ask others to "stand DOWN" and "DO NOT SEND IN A BID."
Within an hour, Daniel had spoken to several Jefferies employees.
Telling them he had been working towards this for years. ─ He had spent $3.5 million in legal fees to make this project work. He had even made the settlement Neiman's parent company possible.
And telling them the only thing Jefferies bid would do was drive up what HE had to pay.
Daniel then started making threats.
He told the employees that he could stop Jefferies from buying the shares as co-chair of the committee.
He told them he would stop working with Jefferies, who happened to be one of Marble Ridges' largest trading partners. A cut that would cost the company commissions as well as valuable data.
Just a hair after 4 pm, the choice was made. Jefferies withdrew the bid, explaining that it would be honest with their client on why.
Daniel's petty move screwed over Neiman's unsecured creditors while giving the finger to his fiduciary duties.
What Daniel did not expect was the Jefferies employee's brutal honesty.
Jefferies Employee Doesn't Back Down
They called one of the other committee chairs and told them a "client" had pressured them into withdrawing the bid. The committee knew it was Daniel.
By 6 pm, the whole committee, minus Daniel knew what he did.
By 7 pm, the committee had talked to Marble Ridge and the company confirmed that Daniel HAD contacted Jefferies BUT they misunderstood his intentions… Daniel only wanted to tell Jefferies to only bid if they were serious to avoid disrupting Neiman's bankruptcy.
By 8:10 pm, Daniel called the Jefferies employee again. Starting the convo off with "This conversation never happened."
… What Daniel did not know was he was being recorded.
Daniel asked him if he knew that he could go to jail for this. The employee told Daniel that it was him that demanded the company withdraw their bid to keep their business relationship.
This conversation went on and on, but one thing was clear from the record.
Daniel Kamensky knew he messed up and could go to jail for it.
A few weeks later, Marble Ridge still was bidding on the shares.
Daniel's arrest would cause the shares not to be sold and possibly never sold. The shares are now in a liquidation trust.
Neiman is now suing Marble Ridge for tens of millions of dollars for behavior during the bankruptcy proceedings.
Daniel has been charged with securities fraud, wire fraud, extortion, and obstruction of justice.
And Marble Ridge might possibly have to close its doors for good.
Listen, there are so many dirty players in the market, not just in the private areas.
Some will stop at nothing and don't care what happens to them, all to make a quick buck. However, some Wall Street whales get craft at hiding their best trade ideas, and they do so in the options market.
You can learn all about it in my "smart money" trading guide here.
You'll discover how these players leverage the options market to generate explosive returns, and learn how I take advantage of their ideas, legally and ethically.

The low maintenance pond skimmer is designed to sweep the surface of the water so it is free from debris and collected in an easy-to-remove access point . The debris basket inside the skimmer is the first filter stage of the skimmer. The basket will collect leaves, twigs, seeds, and other debris that falls or blows into the pond. In the Twin Cities, Minneapolis, St. Paul Minnesota areas it only takes a few minutes every other week to empty the debris basket. More frequent changes will be required during the fall because of the quantity of leaves falling off the surrounding trees.


I generally have not taken pictures at meetings like board meetings feeling that I might be too much of a distraction and that I might not be sufficiently attentive to what was going on. On the other hand I realized that there might be some value in recording some of the people and interactions.
This particular meeting was mixed concerning picture opportunities. The lighting was pretty good. But most of the action took place in one room and everyone including me sat in the same place for the entire day. So I got lots of pictures of some people and none of others. I felt a bit inhibited in circulating even at coffee breaks.
I'm a bit unsure about some of the identifications. Please send me corrections. If I've identified you incorrectly or spelled your name wrong, I apologize.
