Previous Previous post: What Will You Say to Your Grandchildren?
Looking at the list of just the popular books at the bottom on your latest post, you are better read on collapse than I am. But my elves have been ruminating on collapse for a long time.
I've been a science fiction reader ever since discovering Arthur Clarke in 6th grade 65 years ago. I've seen some of the devices and the changes come to pass — or not come to pass.
When changes have come to pass it's never as simple as portrayed; and when things fail, it's often due to some entire overlooked aspect — usually economic or social.
I am heartened that installing new renewables is now cheaper than building new coal, even in climates like Germany.
I am heartened that electric vehicles are starting to take off.
I am heartened that while the colossus that is the U.S. as a whole marches like lemmings to the sea, individual jurisdictions within it, are taking more sensible paths.
I see three forms of collapse likely. Different groups have varying levels of vulnerability to them.
1. Ecological collapse or abrupt modification. In one sense ecologies rarely collapse. There is always an ecology present. However sometimes the change is very fast, very large, and results in a drastic drop in bio-diversity. Let's call a change that results in a shift in the primary producers, a drop of over 50% in primary production (photosynthesis carbon fixed) and a drop of over 50% in diversity a collapse. By this measure, a forest fire is a collapse. The clearing of forests for agriculture is a collapse, the conversion of grassland to desert is a collapse.
This is happening in the oceans. Fisheries are failing. Corals are bleaching.
I'm facing one where I live in Alberta. The "Business as Usual" scenario put us up 6 C by 2080. At present in the southern end of the province we have dry mixed grass prairie. Most agriculture in the dry mixed grass region is irrigated. Further to the north, where the evaporation is slightly less, and the rains slightly more regular, it's dryland grain farming. Wheat, oats, peas, canola. Some pasture. Some hay. Where I am in Edmonton, we have Aspen Parkland. Still dryland grain farming mostly.
By 2080, the sagebrush country will extend to almost the northern border. Oh, the existing trees won't just keel over. But there won't be young ones. It will be too dry for them to start. Forest fires will be more severe, and replanting forests will be less effective, or will required more desert adapted species.
In Alberta, we won't have masses of people dying from this. I suspect that agriculture and forestry will take a serious hit, with at least half the jobs vanishing. But it will mostly happen in slow motion. We will adapt. Farms will get larger, as summer fallow to save water becomes the order of the day. Spruce forests will give way to douglas fir, larch, and pine.
In third world countries, ecological collapse will kill. If you grow 1.5 times as much as you eat in a good year and half as much as you eat in a bad year, you break even, if the good years outnumber the bad. But get a string of bad years, and the four horsemen ride, and you have hundreds of thousands of people scrambling for what little is left.
2. Economic collapse. This can be global or local depending which domino falls first. Given the U.S. actions under the Trump Administration, I would not be surprised to see the U.S. fail as a nation. In 2008, Obama stepped in and propped up the banking system. There is nothing to stop this from happening again, and Trump's reactions to crisis depend on what he's heard on Fox News that morning.
The economy, and money in general, is a shared delusion: The idea is that you accepted fancy strips of paper for your goods in the past, and so you will do so tomorrow. But it's a house of cards, and we have many historical examples of how fast it can collapse. By their nature, forecasting them is difficult. Good examples of tipping points.
An economic collapse will hurt the first world countries the most. Trade slows. Economies stop investing in their own future. The switch away from coal slows. Social services are cut. Deathrates climb.
An economic depression probably shouldn't be considered a collapse. Even the 1928 depression didn't leave half the people out of work. The Weimar Republic in Germany is probably a better example.
3. Social collapse — the failure of governments, balkanization. We see this happening in Venezuela. Civil war is one form of social collapse. A good example is the disintegration of Yugoslavia. I wonder if we are seeing the early stages of this in the U.S. Will we see California as it's own nation?
Of course it won't be clear cut like this: A crop failure from a plague of locusts may be the ecological trigger of a civil war. A banking system collapse may halt the adaptation of a region that otherwise was making decent progress.
Point 1: It won't be "A collapse" It's going to be a series of collapses. Most of them are going to be regional, not international.
Point 2: People are going to be wrapped up in their local problems, and won't pay attention to the world problems.
Strategic Plan. Love everyone. Hate no-one. Move to the edge. Thank you Jeremy – I can begin to breathe.
The problem is that this is way above most people's heads, difficult to understand, a challenge to come to terms with and impossible to imagine what life might be like afterwards – in short, overwhelming. Mostly they can't conceive of any life other than the one they are presently living, of business as usual. We shouldn't encourage people to think that our decaying global political systems and massive environmental crises are going to allow our daily lives to continue as they are. People grab hold of any tiny piece of hope as a lifeline, a connection to what they know and it can prevent them from moving in the direction they ought to or from bracing themselves for massive change. You say that you and Jem agree more than disagree, so maybe you and your colleagues working in this field, using what you agree on, can help us see how we can begin adapting and transforming the way we live in readiness.
I think it was Larry Niven's novel "Footfall" a classic alien invasion story, the military brought in a bunch of science fiction writers of the 'hard sf' category. Sci-fi with rivets, with good science, working economies.
Most people see the world as unchanging. Outside of a few tech changes that hit them directly like computers and cell phones, they see the world tomorrow as being more or less the world of today.
Most futurists and scientists see the world of tomorrow as being a linear extrapolation of the world of today. This is why the IPCC estimates have tended to be very conservative, and actual change is running about their worst level forecasts.
A few SF writers see that the change itself has re-organization changes.
When the auto replaced the horse.
* Rich man's toy. Too expensive for everyday use.
* A few city planners saw that if it replaced the horse we wouldn't have to clean all that horse crap off the street.
* Some very insightful people saw the rise of suburbs, and a few the traffic problems.
* No one saw the change it would make to courtship and dating.
I did a site search here and at Bendell's blog. I didn't find any mention of the Bronze Age Collapse or the Little Ice Age behind the General Crisis.
Those are the two main historical examples of widespread environmental stress and turmoil. The Little Ice Age, although lasting for centuries, was minor in comparison to the mass catastrophe that brought ended most of the great civilizations in the late Bronze Age.
It seems like considering those examples could be helpful in understanding the situation we now face with its possible outcomes. There are other examples that could be brought up, but those two were no doubt formative to what followed.
I'd be curious what others here might think about this.
Thank you for this back-and-forth with Bendell; you two explore important issues, illuminated all the better by the different perspective you each bring. As you note in your opening to this response, you and he agree in most areas, and seem to have similar values and goals. I'm sensing that your main disagreements may be more semantic than substantive, especially around "civilization" and "hope," which people often define in very different ways.
Similarly, Jensen defines hope as "a longing for a future condition over which one has no agency," by which definition hope is inherently disempowering and demotivating. I think Bendell's definition is similar, but you're clearly using a different definition when you uphold hope as important for driving engagement.
You and Bendell have somewhat different evaluations of the probabilities of different collapse scenarios, and perhaps disagree over whether effective changes can still be made at large (national & international) scales, but you both desire radical transformation of society into a way of life which sustainably nurtures humans and their landbases. You both want to motivate people to participate proactively in the transformation, rather than being reactive victims of collapse. Again, thank you for this dialogue, and more generally, thank you for all your work to that end.
This piece may be of interest to you and your readers: From Reform to Devolution: Jem Bendell's Deep Adaptation. It aligns more with Jensen's and Bendell's definitions and interpretations than with your own (as I understand them without yet having read your book). It holds no "hope" for large-scale transformation of industrialism to a sustainable way of living, but advocates working at household and community scales to prepare and proactively transition…while stopping industrial systems from degrading any more of the ecological communities on which humans depend. While it accepts collapse as highly likely, it suggests that those of us living now have more opportunity for meaningful work than any previous generations, with the chance to leave a broader and longer lasting legacy than was ever possible before. Accepting collapse needn't mean giving up on action; it does mean rethinking what action makes sense under these circumstances. To finish with Jensen's perspective again: the dividing line is not between those who work in the mainstream vs grassroots, not between those who work to prepare their communities for collapse vs work to change broad culture beliefs; the dividing line is between those who do something and those who do nothing. I think we can all agree on that.
Norristh: As I observe what's happening to the natural world–I am active in nature conservation–, it seems clear to me that humankind in our present technological civilization are on a collision course with the biosphere. This is in itself the big ethical issue of our time. Do we have the right to drive a Sixth Mass Extinction? So I wonder at people grieving at the collapse of a civilization whose core values are to exploit as intenseivley and extensively as possible the resources of the Earth to produce consumer goods. We urgently need a new civlization–I understand the world civilization to mean that there is some law and order in society.
A: It requires 95% of the human race to die. The population of North America was about 25 million when Columbus arrived. That was around the maximum supportable number of people using the then present technology.
Oh, yes. They had tech. Fire. Agriculture. Pottery. Flint knapping.
Eastern North American natives burned off the understory of the forests to make better habitat for deer. You actually could run under the trees as in "Last of the Mohicans" Now going through a wild section of the eastern hardwood forest is a fight.
B: Hunter/gatherer and subsistence farmers are not the gentle touch on the earth. The Spanish brought horses to the western hemisphere, and they exploded across the plains. This was a new technology. The buffalo hunters killed off the great herds, but the natives would have done it themselves in another 50 years. A controversial theory: The arrival of tribes over the Bering Straight land bridge was the doom of the megafauna in north America.
There's a reason that so much of Africa is desert. Some is changing climate. Most is over grazing. Ditto Greece. Ditto the Middle East.
The answer is not less tech, but more tech. More tech and better understanding of human psychology, and a better understanding of natural systems.
I grew up in a town of about 10,000. I didn't act out. I knew that my mom knew enough people in town, that word of anything really interesting I did would get home before I did.
Most people know about a hundred people. Immediate family. Some of their neighbours. Co-workers. Oldtimer's hockey league. Some of their kid's school teachers. People at church. Kid's friend's parents. You've heard of the game "7 degrees of Kevin Bacon" Or similarly that some small number of links connect any two people. The number cited varies from 5 to 7.
* A hamlet is the maximum number of people where everyone knows pretty much everyone. Link count 0. 50-140 people. The golden rule and a few reminders work at this level. I worked in a private boarding school with 90-120 students, and 15-20 staff. Lot of the social mechanisms were breaking down at the upper end of that. Less flying the the seat of your pants, and more rules. This is your local band.
* A village is the maximum number of people where *some* of them know everyone in the village. The link count is 1. I know Elder Speerling. She knows Susan. Somewhere between 100-400.
* A town is requires a link count of 2. Lots of, "Let me inquire, I may know someone who can help" Somewhere in the high hundreds to low thousands.
As the link count grows, our 'community' becomes more dispersed. If work is a 45 minute commute to the other side of town, then we see those people only at work, and not sharing a bleacher watch little league. Unless we seek people out, most of the people we see are total strangers. We live in multiple partial villages.
Rebuild our cities as clusters of towns, which are in turn clusters of villages. Most of this can be done just by rezoning. Our biggest mistakes was to separate business from residential. Some businesses should be separated. The ones that stink; the ones that are making loud noises 24 hours a day. But all the B2B firms that run 8 to 5, all the corner grocery stores; all the shops, the offices, the professionals like dentists and lawyers. There is no reason why they can't be mixed in residential areas.
There is no reason why a tower downtown can't be designed as an arcology: A single building with shops, and offices and residences, and schools, and floors that are playgrounds, and parks on the roof.
We need to make our cities walkable again.
Certainly we have major issues with big ag. I think we need to take a good look at the Amish. The descriptions I've read of their internal culture sound repressive, but there is a lot of merit in their method's of agriculture. I don't know if it would work well on the prairie. Most of the Amish settlements are in what used to be the eastern hardwood forests — more rain, generally higher net productivity. Fewer calamitous weather events.
One of the problems with ag is there is no room for bugs. "Get big or get out. Farm from edge to edge. That means no weeds to feed the bees. That means no habitat for the wasps that prey on the aphids.
Simple ecologies are less stable. I spent a week trying to model a very simple system — grass + sheep + wolves. Either the sheep eat all the grass and starve. Or the wolves eat all the sheep and starve. Make it more complex: Add shrubs and rabbits. Sheep don't like shrubs. Makes them easy to catch. Rabbits feed on shrubs, but also on grass, and hide in the shrubs from the wolves. Wolves prefer sheep, but will eat rabbit (more work…) when lamb isn't around. This was much more stable.
Keys to stable ecologies: Diversity. Any grazer that depends on a single species (Monarch butterfly and milkweed) and predator that depends on a single prey species (many wasps) is going to be subject to violent cycles in population, sometimes creating local extinction events.
In one sense our urban villages are suffering from a lack of diversity.


My name is Julie Tran. I have two kids whose 12 years of age and 9 years of age. I would like to have my kids to participate in the program. I've received this web link from my friend, Delmy Moreno. Question here is where can I obtain a PASE card? could I please have a list of places and location in English if possible.
It's good for the entertainment of the the kids who are looking to join some education festivals because the best way of learning is only education games for the children that's you are provided. I appreciate you for held this program and hope you will success in this purpose.


Is there any evidence for Young Earth Creation (YEC)?
According to evolutionary theory, comets are supposed to be the same age as the solar system, about five billion years. Yet each time a comet orbits close to the sun, it loses so much of its material that it could not survive much longer than about 100,000 years. Many comets have typical ages of less than 10,000 years.  Evolutionists explain this discrepancy by assuming that (a) comets come from an unobserved spherical "Oort cloud" well beyond the orbit of Pluto, (b) improbable gravitational interactions with infrequently passing stars often knock comets into the solar system, and (c) other improbable interactions with planets slow down the incoming comets often enough to account for the hundreds of comets observed.  So far, none of these assumptions has been substantiated either by observations or realistic calculations. Lately, there has been much talk of the "Kuiper Belt," a disc of supposed comet sources lying in the plane of the solar system just outside the orbit of Pluto. Some asteroid-sized bodies of ice exist in that location, but they do not solve the evolutionists' problem, since according to evolutionary theory, the Kuiper Belt would quickly become exhausted if there were no Oort cloud to supply it.
Each year, water and winds erode about 20 billion tons of dirt and rock from the continents and deposit it in the ocean.  This material accumulates as loose sediment on the hard basaltic (lava-formed) rock of the ocean floor. The average depth of all the sediment in the whole ocean is less than 400 meters.  The main way known to remove the sediment from the ocean floor is by plate tectonic subduction. That is, sea floor slides slowly (a few cm/year) beneath the continents, taking some sediment with it. According to secular scientific literature, that process presently removes only 1 billion tons per year.  As far as anyone knows, the other 19 billion tons per year simply accumulate. At that rate, erosion would deposit the present mass of sediment in less than 12 million years. Yet according to evolutionary theory, erosion and plate subduction have been going on as long as the oceans have existed, an alleged three billion years. If that were so, the rates above imply that the oceans would be massively choked with sediment dozens of kilometers deep. An alternative (creationist) explanation is that erosion from the waters of the Genesis flood running off the continents deposited the present amount of sediment within a short time about 5,000 years ago.
Every year, rivers  and other sources  dump over 450 million tons of sodium into the ocean. Only 27% of this sodium manages to get back out of the sea each year.   As far as anyone knows, the remainder simply accumulates in the ocean. If the sea had no sodium to start with, it would have accumulated its present amount in less than 42 million years at today's input and output rates.  This is much less than the evolutionary age of the ocean, three billion years. The usual reply to this discrepancy is that past sodium inputs must have been less and outputs greater. However, calculations that are as generous as possible to evolutionary scenarios still give a maximum age of only 62 million years.  Calculations  for many other seawater elements give much younger ages for the ocean.
Uranium and thorium generate helium atoms as they decay to lead. A study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research showed that such helium produced in zircon crystals in deep, hot Precambrian granitic rock has not had time to escape.  Though the rocks contain 1.5 billion years worth of nuclear decay products, newly-measured rates of helium loss from zircon show that the helium has been leaking for only 6,000 (+/- 2000) years.  This is not only evidence for the youth of the earth, but also for episodes of greatly accelerated decay rates of long half-life nuclei within thousands of years ago, compressing radioisotope timescales enormously.
With their short 5,700-year half-life, no carbon 14 atoms should exist in any carbon older than 250,000 years. Yet it has proven impossible to find any natural source of carbon below Pleistocene (Ice Age) strata that does not contain significant amounts of carbon 14, even though such strata are supposed to be millions or billions of years old. Conventional carbon 14 laboratories have been aware of this anomaly since the early 1980s, have striven to eliminate it, and are unable to account for it. Lately the world's best such laboratory which has learned during two decades of low-C14 measurements how not to contaminate specimens externally, under contract to creationists, confirmed such observations for coal samples and even for a dozen diamonds, which cannot be contaminated in situ with recent carbon.  These constitute very strong evidence that the earth is only thousands, not billions, of years old.
Evolutionary anthropologists now say that Homo sapiens existed for at least 185,000 years before agriculture began,  during which time the world population of humans was roughly constant, between one and ten million. All that time they were burying their dead, often with artifacts. By that scenario, they would have buried at least eight billion bodies.  If the evolutionary time scale is correct, buried bones should be able to last for much longer than 200,000 years, so many of the supposed eight billion stone age skeletons should still be around (and certainly the buried artifacts). Yet only a few thousand have been found. This implies that the Stone Age was much shorter than evolutionists think, perhaps only a few hundred years in many areas.
While I'm thankful for such scientific research (at least that I agree with), I find it rather mind boggling. Don't you? I think a well-reasoned "faith" that God created everything his way is much easier to follow (Gen. 1:1-2:3; Heb. 11:3). Perhaps a new Creation view is needed called Pan-Creationism. That is, all the details will pan out in the end and not only prove that God is the Creator, but glorify him as well. "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created" (Rev. 4:11).
So, YEC emphasizes not only the Bible but science too, when it is properly interpreted and applied. Though I definitely don't agree with all the YEC arguments they use, this position, when properly understood and presented, seems the most Biblical. In my own personal view, I mix YEC, a mature earth view, and Intelligent Design, understanding that God alone is the Divine Designer. Please see, "What About Hebrews 11:3?" below.

Investigators: Bakery leader bragged about ordering killing of Oakland journalist
March 5th, 2009 No Comments Printer-Friendly
Yusuf Bey IV addresses the media with attorney Lorna Brown in front of Your Black Muslim Bakery in Oakland. (Brian Frank/Oakland Tribune 12/8/05)
By Thomas Peele, The Chauncey Bailey Project
Former Your Black Muslim Bakery leader Yusuf Bey IV bragged in jail about ordering the killing of journalist Chauncey Bailey in 2007 because Bailey had financial information that Bey IV "didn't want to get out," according to a statement taken by investigators late last year.
Bey IV said he had to "sacrifice a soldier" to "take out" the Oakland Post editor to protect the bakery, according to the statement taken by the Alameda County District Attorney's office from a confidential informant. Bey IV remains uncharged in the Aug. 2, 2007 killing of Bailey; he is jailed awaiting trial on unrelated kidnapping and torture charges.
This and other documents obtained Wednesday by The Chauncey Bailey Project add these new details to the case:
— Bey IV bragged that Oakland homicide Detective Sgt. Derwin Longmire, the lead detective in the Bailey case, was a "sympathizer" of the bakery who was not pursuing charges against him and was receiving sexual favors set up by Bey IV, according to the confidential informant.
Reached Wednesday night, Longmire said that police department policy banned him from commenting. He referred questions to his attorney, Michael Rains, who did not return a phone call Wednesday night.
— Bailey told a co-worker at the Oakland Post shortly before his death that "the Muslims" had been making "threats on his life" in phone calls. This statement came from Nisiyah Yahudah, who was once married to bakery founder Yusuf Bey.
— Devaughndre Broussard confessed to killing Bailey to stop him from "writing bad things" about the bakery. He then recanted and pleaded not guilty. In the statement from the informant about Bey IV, Bey IV is said to have claimed that he ordered Broussard to recant "so the confession would 'lose credibility at trial.'"
Longmire left Bey IV and Broussard alone in a police interrogation room for about six minutes — without recording their conversation — immediately after which Broussard confessed. Before the time with Bey IV, he had denied the killing.
— District attorney investigators interviewed a former district director of Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, who told them Bey IV and his entourage were showing up so often at Lee's Oakland office in 2007 that she had to tell him to not come without an appointment.
Leslie Littleton, the former director who now works for Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, said that Sandra Andrews, another staff member, knew Bey IV, describing him as "like a son to her" and urged Littleton to write a letter of support for Bey IV in the bakery's bankruptcy proceeding.
— Ali Saleem Bey, a former member of the bakery, also was asking Lee's office to intervene against Bey IV in the bankruptcy case. Littleton told investigators that she cut off contact with both parties.
Julie Nickson, Lee's chief of staff, said that Lee could not comment because of the ongoing investigation of Bailey killing.
How much weight the district attorney's office is giving these statements is unclear.
Nancy O'Malley in the District Attorney's Office declined to comment Wednesday night. Christopher Lamiero, the prosecutor trying the only person charged in the case, could not be reached.
Bey IV has made other incriminating statements about the Bailey killing, as documented by the Chauncey Bailey Project. A bakery worker also told police in 2007 that Bey IV watched a television news report on the killing and boasted that the slaying would "teach them to (expletive) with us."
After a brief court appearance by Broussard last month, where his trial was set to begin May 19, Lamiero said the investigation of Bailey's killing remained ongoing.
The state justice department and police internal affairs division are investigating Longmire's handling of the case and the oversight of his then-supervisors, Lt. Ersie Joyner and former Capt. Jeffrey Loman. Longmire and Joyner were transferred to patrol this year, a move that police said was routine. Loman is suspended with pay pending the outcome of an unrelated sexual harassment investigation.

David A. Sayre, a New Jersey silversmith, migrated to Lexington where he eventually became a successful banker. He and his wife Abby founded the school as an all female boarding school in November 1854 when he met with a group of businessmen met in the offices of former Kentucky Secretary of State George B. Kinkead with several other prominent members of the "McChord" (now First) Presbyterian Church including John C. Breckinridge, drew up the articles of incorporation.[6] Originally named the Transylvania Female Seminary, the school opened first in the old Bank of the U.S. building on the corner of Mill and Church and the Presbyterian minister, Rev. Henry V.D. Nevius was appointed as principal. In the fall of 1855 the school was moved to its current location on Limestone Street (see the National Register of Historic Places information[7] about the expansion of the original building), and the trustees changed the name to the Sayre Female Institute. The Kentucky General Assembly granted its charter in 1856 to confer collegiate degrees.
The school remained an all female boarding school until 1876 when boys were admitted as day scholars in the primary grades under the leadership of Major Henry B. McClelland,[8] principal from 1870 to 1904. In 1914, the nearby preparatory school of Miss Ella M. Williams merged with Sayre, and the name was changed to Sayre College and Conservatory of Music. During the Great Depression, the school struggled, but in 1942 it grew with the incorporation of the Hamilton Grammar School, and changed its name to Sayre School, dropping its collegiate degree program.[6] The pillars outside the main entrance of the campus still show "Sayre College." In 1947 the high school grades were discontinued and the boarding rooms were leased to the University of Kentucky ended. In 1961 an English teacher from Lafayette High School, Donn D. Hollingsworth was appointed headmaster and the high school was resumed in addition to the grammar school, beginning the "New Era."[9]
Academics[edit]
The Sayre School consists of three academic divisions, covering ages 2 through grade 12. The Lower School consists of a preschool program, for ages 2–5,[10] and Kindergarten through Grade 4. The Middle School covers grades 5-8, and the Upper School has grades 9-12, like a traditional high school. The Upper School offers 17 Advanced Placement courses, and 85% of seniors who took an AP class earned a score of 3 or higher with 60% being designated as AP Scholars; two were National AP Scholars.[11]
Since Sayre is no longer a boarding school, most of its students reside in Lexington, Kentucky or its nearby counties, such as Scott County, Bourbon, Jessamine, Madison, and Woodford counties. Students come from 15 Central Kentucky counties, such as Fleming and Estill counties, that are more than an hour commute away.[4]
Tuition[edit]
The school is the most expensive college preparatory institution in the Bluegrass region,[12][13] charging $9,095 to $22,050 a year for tuition.[14] Tuition rates increase with the level of education, meaning that Sayre charges students in its high school, or Upper School, the most. The school offers both need-based financial assistance and merit scholarships.
Notable alumni[edit]
Actress Ashley Judd attended Sayre.
Notable past Sayre students include Nobel Laureate William Lipscomb,[15] woman suffragist Laura Clay, settlement school founder Katherine Pettit, Josh Hopkins, Mayor Thomas E. Hayden of Flower Mound, Texas,[16] Mr. Joshua L. Bishop, Byrd Spilman Dewey and actress Ashley Judd.[17][18]
Athletics[edit]
Sayre's sports teams are called the Spartans. Their school colors are blue and gold. Notably, the school has a "no-cut" policy for its sports teams, meaning that any student can participate on an athletic team, regardless of ability, if he or she wishes to do so.[5] Sayre School's Upper School sports teams include boys' and girls' soccer, boys' and girls' lacrosse, boys' and girls' basketball, coed tennis, coed swimming, boys' and girls' golf, coed diving, coed cross country and track, along with boys' baseball and girls' volleyball. Football was reintroduced in 2018 and is coached by former NFL quarterback Chad Pennington. These sports are all a part of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) and compete in the "All A" conference which is a mid-season statewide tournament.

I am so happy that everyone made the effort to be there for Barbara and each other.
We still have and I always hope to keep the generosity of spirit that I remember about Femprov.
It was indeed great to see everyone!!!
I had a blast---let's not leave it too long again!!!
I ditto that! Thanks to y'all for being there in fine form and lookin' good. Collaboration was always our strong suit and Barbara was duly honored, fem-style!
Bonus: Got some residual ego stroke from folks who were 'thrilled' to see Actual Femprov members, after only hearing the ancient tales of yore.


Hamburg (renewablepress) - The Nordex Group has obtained orders for the installation of two wind farms with a total of 15 N131/3600 turbines in France. Both orders also include a Premium Service Agreement covering 15 years.
For its customer, Quaero, the manufacturer will be installing the Riaucourt Darmannes wind farm with five turbines in the Département Haute Marne in the east of France. Construction work is due to start in May 2019.
The Nordex Group will be building the second project for its new customer, Valorem, in the Département Somme in the north of the country. Here the Ablaincourt-Pressoir wind farm is to be equipped with ten N131/3600 turbines as of summer 2019.
The N131/3600 is specifically designed for medium to very low wind speeds, which are exactly the conditions prevailing at the sites. In spite of the large rotor the sound power levels of the turbines at rated output stand at max. 104.9 dB (A).

Looking into the Glass House Mountains, Australia – Tas Walker
in Articles, Flood, Geology
by Dr. Tas Walker September 18, 2015, 2:40 am
South of the Mapleton Plateau near Brisbane, Australia, some remarkable volcanic plugs known as the Glass House Mountains dominate the Sunshine Coast hinterland, a popular tourist destination.
Just 60 km (40 miles) north of Brisbane, the area is known for pineapples, strawberries, papayas, passion fruit, avocados and other tropical fruit. Australia Zoo, owned and made famous by the Crocodile Hunter, the late Steve Irwin, is situated in the area.1
Captain Cook named these mountains on 17 May 1770, as he sailed up the east coast of Australia in his ship Endeavour. He wrote in his journal, "These hills lie but a little way inland, and not far from each other: they are remarkable for the singular form of their elevation, which very much resembles a glass house, and for this reason I called them the Glass Houses."
There are at least a dozen plugs, the remains of volcanoes that pushed their way up through thick almost-horizontal layers of sandstone. It is hard to imagine what it would have been like as the volcanoes were erupting, spewing red-hot ash and lava from their vents and darkening the atmosphere with ash and fumes.
The lava was rich in silica and formed rhyolite and trachyte, volcanic rock that is typically yellow, pink, pale grey and other light colours. Silica-rich lavas are thick like porridge and leave characteristic steep-sided volcanic plugs.
Geological history of the Glass House Mountains from a biblical Flood perspective.
Many of the plugs have well-developed columnar jointing. The northern face of Mt Beerwah is one prominent example, and the exposed columns are dubbed "The Pipe Organ". Such long columns suggest the lava was extruded rapidly, generating a large volume that solidified and cracked as one extrusion.
At around the same time, volcanic eruptions of a different kind were active to the north and west. In this case the lava was basaltic in composition, rich in iron and magnesium, and it was hotter and more fluid than the lava that formed the plugs. This red-hot molten rock ran like water across the sandstone plateaus and solidified to form thick basalt caps, the Mapleton plateau being one example. Basalt lava forms rich red and brown soils ideal for farming and for the development of rainforest.
The countryside around the Glass House Mountains is made of sandstone, geologically called the Landsborough Sandstone. The thick strata are visible in steep road cuttings along the highway. The Landsborough Sandstone is part of an interconnected series of sedimentary basins called the Great Australian Basin, which extends from the east coast of Australia for thousands of kilometres south and west into New South Wales, west into South Australia and the Northern Territory and north to Cape York in northern Queensland.
The thickness and geographical extent of the strata point to deposition from massive surges of flowing water. Dinosaur footprints were found in some sandstone horizons in mines near Brisbane, and others in western Queensland near Winton.2 In other parts of the basin the well preserved remains of plesiosaurs and dinosaurs have been discovered.
Just before the Glass House volcanoes erupted, the landscape had been cut flat, forming an extensive plateau. After the eruptions, a hundred metres of sandstone or more was eroded from the countryside around the volcanic necks, leaving the remains of the plugs intact (similar to Devils Tower in Wyoming, USA3). Much of the basalt plateau was also eroded away but a remnant is preserved to the north and west, and is now a popular tourist destination.
Geological cross section of the area from the Glass House Mountains north beyond the Mapleton Plateau—about 25 km (15 miles).
The Glass House Mountains provide a graphic insight into the dramatic events connected with the biblical Flood, which is how they were formed. To understand what happened, you need to disregard the dates that conventional geologists give for these events. The dates they quote (of 25 million years for the volcanic eruptions) are based on assumptions that ignore the catastrophic processes associated with the Flood.
From a biblical Flood perspective, the sandstone was deposited as the floodwaters were rising on the earth, and depositing extensive sedimentary sheets across thousands of kilometres of the landscape. What caused the eruptions? They occurred at a time when the entire eastern edge of the Australian continent was placed under strain. In fact, there is an entire series of volcanoes that stretch from north of Cairns to Victoria down the east coast. It is likely that the north-south stress on the continent was associated with the development of the ocean basin to the east of the continent, which was lowering and beginning to receive floodwaters off the continent.
The plugs were injected into the sediments after the floodwaters had been receding in sheets for some time (cutting the sandstone plateau) but before the earth was completely dry. That means they would have intruded somewhere toward the end of the Abative phase of the Flood, when the receding waters were still flowing in wide sheets. After they erupted, ongoing erosion during the Dispersive phase, when the water was flowing in wide channels, removed surrounding material, and carried it out of the area, leaving wide valleys with the plugs standing tall and isolated.

Brokerages Demand Greater Transparency from Self-Regulatory Organization
By Michael Smallberg | Filed under analysis | August 18, 2010
You don't often hear about regulated entities calling on a regulator to be more open and transparent about its oversight activities. Yet that's exactly what happened last week at the 2010 annual meeting of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a private self-regulatory organization that oversees more than 4,500 broker-dealers operating in the U.S.
Earlier this year, POGO sent a letter to Congress calling for greater oversight of FINRA and other self-regulatory organizations (SROs). We raised concerns about FINRA's weak enforcement record leading up to the financial crisis, its failure to crack down on the Madoff and Stanford Ponzi schemes, the lack of disclosure on its private investments, its lavish executive compensation packages, its incestuous relationship with the securities industry it oversees, and more.
After we sent our letter, we heard from the heads of many firms that are regulated by FINRA. Nearly everyone was outraged by the compensation packages approved for FINRA's executives (in 2008, a year in which the financial system nearly collapsed and FINRA lost $568 million in its investment portfolio, FINRA's top 20 executives received nearly $30 million in salaries and bonuses). We also learned that a number of FINRA's member firms had filed a lawsuit alleging that current and former FINRA executives—including SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro—made highly misleading statements about the regulatory merger that led to FINRA's creation in 2007.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff recently decided to dismiss the lawsuit against Schapiro and other officials. But that hasn't stopped FINRA's member firms from pushing for more transparency and accountability.
Lt. Col. Elton Johnson, Jr. is the president of Amerivet Securities, a small California-based brokerage firm that is regulated by FINRA. In anticipation of FINRA's annual meeting, Johnson submitted seven proposals for opening up FINRA's records and holding the organization accountable:
FINRA should be required to disclose in each annual report the compensation for the top ten most highly paid FINRA employees and the amount of any funds paid to compensation consultants;
There should be an independent study of ties between current/former FINRA directors/officers with Bernard L. Madoff, his family members and any of their affiliates;
There should be disclosure of FINRA investment transactions, policies and practices;
The Board of Governors meetings should be public, unless absolutely necessary to protect the confidentiality of individual regulatory issues;
FINRA members should have a non-binding "say-on-pay" for the five most highly compensated FINRA employees;
FINRA should employ an independent private sector inspector general to oversee its performance; and
FINRA should disclose (without redaction) all its correspondence with the IRS concerning the $35,000 payment to members in connection with the consolidation of NASD and NYSE Regulation.
Not surprisingly, FINRA fought back against every single one of these proposals. In a notice sent around to its member firms last month, FINRA made some incredible arguments as to why the proposals should be rejected. For instance, FINRA thinks it shouldn't have to make its board meetings public because it could "stifle candid deliberations," and because "FINRA is not aware of any corporation so transcribing and publishing transcripts of board meetings," even though it acknowledges that many governmental bodies are required by law to do so. In addition, FINRA argues that there's no need for an independent review of the relationship between current and former FINRA officials and the Madoff family because FINRA already conducted its own self-review. FINRA also believes that it doesn't need to be overseen by an independent watchdog (similar to an inspector general) because it already has an internal audit department and an ombudsman's office, and because creating a truly independent watchdog would "inevitably necessitate the expenditure of significant time, effort and funds."
Unfortunately for FINRA, most member firms were not persuaded by these arguments. At FINRA's annual meeting last week, the firms approved all seven proxy proposals. And while the proposals are non-binding, it's worth pointing out that they passed with overwhelming support. Larry Doyle at Sense on Cents has obtained and posted the results of the votes, which show that the strongest support came from FINRA's smaller member firms, many of whom have told us that FINRA unfairly punishes them while letting larger firms get away with gross misconduct.
Member firms also elected seven new industry governors to FINRA's board. One new governor, Richard Brueckner, shouldn't have any problem representing industry, seeing as he also serves on the board of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, which was recently added to the Center for Responsive Politics' list of Heavy Hitters as one of the organizations "spending the most to influence policy and politics over the years."
FINRA's board will be reviewing the proxy proposals at its next meeting – just don't expect them to make the meeting public.
In the meantime, the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains several provisions that could lead to an increase in power for FINRA or another SRO. For instance, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) will be studying the feasibility of creating an SRO to oversee hedge funds and other private funds (Section 416), and the SEC will be reviewing whether it would be helpful to have an SRO assisting in the oversight of investment advisers (Section 914).
The Dodd-Frank bill also requires the GAO to report to Congress every three years on the SEC's oversight of FINRA and other related entities (Section 964). These reports will cover issues such as conflicts of interest, executive compensation, funding, post-employment restrictions, and transparency—many of the same issues that have been highlighted by Amerivet and other FINRA critics.
We hope that these reports and the ongoing conflict between FINRA and its member firms will cause Congress to think twice before delegating any more authority to FINRA or another private self-regulator.

Celebrity endorsements have helped fuel yoga's popularity.
LONDON, England (CNN) -- The ancient Indian practice of yoga is booming in today's Western societies, sparking fears that ill-qualified teachers could be causing more harm than good.
While nobody doubts the correct practice of yoga can provide many physical and mental health benefits, its popularity is creating a shortage of appropriately qualified teachers.
"Anyone can set up a yoga and pilates class and they don't have to have any prior qualification. That's why it's really important to ask about a teacher's qualification before they start a class," Emma Copeland, from Britain's Consumer Association tells CNN.
"We'd say several years is a good measure. If someone has just gone on a weekend course or a short course to teach pilates or yoga, it is not enough."
A consumer report out this month in Britain's "Health Which? Magazine" claims that yoga and pilates taught incorrectly can pose serious health risks.
That would mean ensuring that all instructors go through proper, recognized training before being able to teach.
There are an estimated 20 million people in the United States and half a million people in Britain practising yoga.
And in a quick-fix society, where the pressure is on to see the results, experts say there may be certain yogic postures that can result in injury.
"The importance is staying in shape and being physically fit -- and in a well rounded way --and yoga is an aspect that can help," chirpractor Anthony Jakubowski says.
"However, because of the great incidence of lower back pain our society, the sufferers will look at yoga as a help ... but what will happen is they will get worse."
The emergence of yoga as a boom industry in the West has been spurred by celebrity endorsements from the likes of pop stars such as Madonna and former Spice girl Geri Halliwell.
But yoga has been around for several thousand years, emerging first in India. The word "yoga" translates as "to balance".
There are numerous forms of yoga -- hatha, ashthanga, lyengar, and bikram -- some of which are more rigorous and demanding than others.
Yoga has been practised in India for thousands of years.
Hatha yoga is the generic name for the practise of yoga postures.
It is these variations which make the industry extremely difficult to regulate.
But there are those that argue that it's yoga's ancient lineage which helps preserve its integrity.
"Yoga is actually regulated. It is regulated through the tradition," director of the Sivanada Yoga Center, Frank Schneider, says.
"The purity of the teacher ensures that the student is taught in the proper way and through the sincerity of the student the teachings are again propogated in the right spirit."

19-Year-Old Artist And Producer Joel Ronson Drops "Waiting For You" Exclusive Music Video And Interview.
In Audiorotic, The Menu by Kurt McVey July 6, 2018 Leave a Comment
Joel Ronson, a beyond precocious 19-year-old producer, composer and multi-hat musician, doesn't have a middle name, so he did what any creative kid would do: he made one up. "I used to pretend that it was Bruce," he says with his delightfully soft yet calculated English accent while crafting a hand-rolled cigarette out on the sunny back patio of an East Williamsburg restaurant. "All throughout my childhood I would do that, because I was such a fan of Bruce Lee."
Joel, perhaps due to his age or country of origin, wasn't aware that the name Bruce, for reasons still not entirely known (The easy, serpentine lisp? That Monty Python sketch? Bruce Wayne's love of Dick…Grayson?), somehow took on an inexplicable homosexual connotation at some point over the last few, considerably more homophobic decades. "Bruce Ronson" does, to be fair, seem like the name of a 1980s porn actor that could happily swing both ways and certainly get the job done with panache. As a fun, furthering Warholian icebreaker, it's asked of Mr. Ronson what his unique moniker would be if pushed through the silly "childhood pet-meets-the street you grew up on" porn-name generator?
"Monty Barnsbury Square," Joel offers up and clearly for the first time, drawing out mutual munificent cackles. "Barnsbury Square's in Islington, a town in Northwest London and Monty was my first cat. I had ongoing, unexplained allergies growing up. It was only when Monty died that I realized he was the source. As my father used to say, 'That's some bespoke porn right there.' "
Before getting into Joel's clearly interesting relationship with his father, perhaps a moment to relay some more information regarding the industry reasoning behind this profile, outside of Ronson the Younger's refreshing sense of humor of course.
Joel Ronson, you see, is something of a musical wunderkind. He's worked as a contract producer for Universal Music's publishing division, producing a yet to be released track for fellow teenage Brit, Isabelle Brown, for instance. He recently scored writer/director Cody Joel's 2018 short film, Pike County, which tackles the opioid crisis in Kentucky.
Joel also served as the composer for season one of The Butterfly Effect on Audible. "I should say here that it's my father's podcast," Joel adds, not reluctantly exactly, but certainly with an uneasy sense of self-awareness. "I understand there's this nepotistic connotation with such a thing, but at the end of the day, Audible didn't need to hire me and it wasn't my father's decision. In any case, now we're doing season two."
Joel's father is Jon Ronson, who by all metrics is a pretty fantastic writer; responsible for penning a slew of successful and clever films as well as a few best-selling, culturally omniscient books. Ronson the Elder (though still youthful in an anti-foppish, irreverent, '90s lost-boy kind of way), had an insanely popular column in The Guardian, which lasted for three years and made him something of a celebrity. Unfortunately, Joel, who was a living, breathing subject in many of these "if David Sedaris were a straight Welshman" real-life family stories, often found himself the unwitting butt of the joke. At young Joel's request (see: begging), Jon retired the article. Luckily, this freed him up to become one of the more fascinating screenwriters working today; something like Charlie Kaufman with a dash of The Kinks.
But this here writing, to be clear, is about Joel, who came into this writer's life when his insightful, nervously intrepid but not very "artsy" long-time friend (and attorney in the Fear and Loathing capacity), consensually (for the most part) kidnapped Joel (after meeting the loquacious and ambiguously aged youngster in an Uber pool) and dragged him to an intimate loft party at 112 Greene Street in SoHo with some international artist types. Everyone loved Joel and in a manner well beyond some kind of single serving, unsustainable, kitsch novelty. It wasn't a question of whether or not he should be there, mingling with a bunch of reasonably well-seasoned New York 30-somethings. He simply had to be there, as fate would have it.
Interestingly enough, outside of his production work, which sees Joel lending his talents to an ongoing rogues' gallery of new media creators, rappers, filmmakers, and budding pop-stars, Ronson is more than happy to put himself out there as an Artist. In early 2017, he put out the self-published EP, Greeting One's Self is Like Meeting a Stranger, which begins with the track "Life Made Me Nervous," which sounds like something Daft Punk would make after doing too many Whippets with Q Lazzarus. The right people took notice. "I was just doing what everyone else was doing in this field," Joel explains, "just putting things out there and hoping for the best."
Soon Joel found himself holed up in West London in the fall of 2017 and working with the even younger Isabelle Brown (an artist The Fader compared to Amy Winehouse). He also spent some time producing a track for British rapper SiD, which involved investing some of his own money in the project. Joel decided to (temporarily at least) direct his time and efforts back to his own career when the rapper switched up his style indefinitely and shelved the track.
This infused Ronson's personal work with a more satirical tone, one that both celebrated modern pop-music, but simultaneously took the piss out of the industry, as they say. "England is an inherently cynical place and our generation is very cynical," Joel says, quite aware that the millennial (whoop!) social media zeitgeist (for better or worse) all but obliterated indie hipsterdom. "Within my own voice and my own narrative, I felt like I had to be humorous and self deprecating. There was something that felt abnormal about great sincerity."
This isn't to say Joel wasn't dealing with some legitimate emotions, like loneliness and the often frustrating nature of waiting for his collaborative work to drop within a major label's marketing strategy, which often involves an overly drawn out release process. "It was a bleak time," he continues. "The weather was shit in Shoreditch (a neighborhood the late Alexander McQueen once called "desolate and rough"); like A Clockwork Orange nightmare. I got into such a bad place within this isolation; I thought, 'I have to make a piece of music that does sincerely convey some of these emotions.' "
This would eventually turn into the self-published, February 2018 EP, Cobb's Defection. The cover of the album is a big, yellow corn on the cob placed over a black background: very Andy-meets Nico & The Velvet Underground. "My father used to sing me Lou Reed songs like "Perfect Day" and "Walk on the Wild Side," says Joel, highlighting the positive side of parental imprinting. And what about the obscure name of the EP? "It comes from that cult, Heaven's Gate. Only one person ever successfully defected and that was James Cobb. I was listening to a podcast and the narrator said, 'Blah, blah, blah and Cobb's defection…' and I thought, 'Wow, there's a title!' "
In February 2018, Joel released a video for the lead single, "Pear," but cites "Late at Night," rather tellingly, as the track that means the most to him. One thing is certain, nobody in America, especially at 19 years of age, is making music like this. Though Cobb's Defection had its merits, it bears a strange, striking resemblance in tone (not in genre and certainly not in exposure or budget) to Kanye West's recent Ye, in that it's a stream of consciousness confessional of sorts. It's a form of therapy with a high potential to alienate all but the most receptive ears. Cobb's Defection serves as a musical ménage à trois between Ringo on Sgt. Pepper's, Lil Yachty, and a stoned David Attenborough.
Though Cobb's Defection was released under Ronson's real name, Professor N.E. Where, a sort of rough Ziggy Stardust meets a teenage, blood and guts Damon Albarn creation, is somehow a more focused avatar for Joel's full musical capabilities. It's as though Winston Niles Rumford, a quantum-capable character from Kurt Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan returned from the Chrono-Synclastic Infundibulum many decades younger and instead of setting up a new global religion or starting an intergalactic war, decided instead to make a series of quirky music videos.
In late April, Ronson released "Beatles (When I'm with You)" through a Technicolor music video directed by Peruvian multi-media artist Cecilia Collantes, the same woman who hosted the serendipitous loft party at 112 Greene Street. Ronson (as N.E. Where) can be witnessed in the video gyrating on a boat in a silver leotard, drifting across the Hudson River at sunset like an impish hybrid of Bowie and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, dropping meta John Lennon mantras by way of Kraftwerk, all while decked out in Kurt Cobain's trademark bug-eye shades. It's a deliberate conglomeration from a too smart for his own good, tongue-in-cheek intellectual throwing all our most revered pop-culture icons back at us.
And now for the worthy and essential peg: Joel Ronson is like frightening A.I., advancing and evolving at a terrifying pace. Forget giving you what you need as opposed to what you want. How about both? Enter "Waiting for You;" a catchy summer banger with a killer chorus, several rave drops and an early musing on pseudo-intellectualism that stands as its own clever hook. This is the music video's exclusive premiere, wherein we see Ronson (as Professor N.E. Where) cruising and schmoozing around modern day Manhattan like Drake in the "Hotline Bling" video, but with a tasteful sprinkle of auto tune, quite reminiscent of the harmonious, addictive vibes of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (1966) and put through a jittery, ironic, black and white, 1979, Woody Allen filter.
"I wasn't trying to be shamelessly poppy," Joel begins, while rolling a cigarette for the road-the sun now much further along on its daily voyage. "It's just my voice and my thoughts, but put in a sphere that's enjoyable. I also think so much of the world we live in, especially at my age-and this effects everyone to varying degrees-so much of pop culture is geared towards self-loathing in order for people to buy a product to escape a sense of insecurity from the very thing that imposed that upon them in the first place. Like any 19-year-old, I too suffer from self-loathing. I want to make music about my own self-loathing that people can relate to. It's not grandiose or arrogant, which we're expected to be in this day and age. My music exists outside the realm of expectation."

Hello and welcome to my hiking and traveling site, Take A Hike. My name is Justin and I love to travel and hike to see new places. I live in Raleigh, North Carolina, so most of the pages I've created are dedicated to that region. I made this website to share my adventures with the world through photographs and custom maps of the locations I've visited. I originally developed this site as a single, central location to keep all of my maps, photos, and information I've collected in my travels. Now, I hope to share my passion for the outdoors and all things nature and hope some of this information can help others.
Many of the pages are in varying levels of completeness. This is due to my busy schedule with work as well as spending most of my free time hiking and being outdoors, leaving little time to work on this site. But as I find some time here and there, I will continue to update and improve the site. All of the maps and information are as accurate as possible, but sometimes GPS devices make errors and trail routes can change. I've included links to the official websites for all the destinations so I would encourage any user of my site to check with the official website to ensure no changes have been made.
To navigate the site, click the Locations tab above to bring up a master list of all the locations that I have created pages for. Or read some of the blog entries from some of my most recent adventures.

Wexford Arts Centre and Cow House Studios are pleased to present I like to eat with my hands, a group exhibition of video and mixed media works curated by RGKSKSRG. The exhibition will run from 29th August to 5th October at Wexford Arts Centre.
*I remember picking the earth from under my fingernails. As a child, at twilight, the end of a summer day, outside, hair askew, hands roughened from soil, twigs, water. I remember burying bees and birds, found dead, digging holes for their stiffened bodies to drop into. I remember throwing my own body down grassy banks, dizzy, whipped-up within the world, kaleidoscopic treetops and bruised skin.
Last winter, I dated an Italian. He drove a Porsche. The day before we first met, he had quit his job as a Head of Sales within Google. He said that he'd stood within Chartres Cathedral, near Paris, three months previous, and had an epiphany. He had a growing paranoia around the impact of digital technology on human relationships, our interactions, our ability to truly connect on the deepest level. I had this strange feeling that he was telepathic. He seemed to be inside my brain.
Earlier, in autumn, I'd flung myself into a pond in Wexford and had my own epiphany of sorts. The act was an unannounced ending to a public talk. There was an audience, filled with an audience's expectations, their judgment of who you are, how you behave, how you look. And you, the speaker, are accommodating these perceptions, articulating projects, the how's and the whys. Being public. Then, within a split second, you're not; you're deep inside a body of mud-brown mountain water, utterly private among the river trout, body shocked by the sudden cold. Rising, head up, legs kicking, eyes towards the ball of golden light, dazzling through a silken surface. The intensity of it all must have been a little like being born, or dying, because for some reason I was unexpectedly, and completely, awestruck.
I've been arguing now for a few days, back and forth, about how best to write this text. A back and forth of questions over the easy romanticisation of the natural world, a classic argument of man versus nature, nature versus technology/the machine, real versus virtual. We need complexity! We need progressive thought! We need to move beyond the clicheé! And here I am, sitting cold in the garden, fighting off nausea, desperate for the leafy world to make my body better, whilst intermittently checking Instagram and staring blankly at the laptop. Tap, tap, tap. Control-Alt-Delete.
I like to eat with my hands is the outcome of an artistic residency involving five contemporary, international artists. The participants were artists Taro Furukata and Ann Maria Healy, dancer/choreographer Claire Huber, and writer/artist duo KVM - Ju Hyun Lee and Ludovic Burel.
For a period of eight-weeks in autumn last year, they re-located their practices to the deeply rural environment of Cow House Studios, situated on a working farm in the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains, County Wexford.
Together, they immersed themselves in research between the studios, the land and the shared accommodation, to create new work, share skills, and reflect on their own and others' individual practices. Within this activity, the question was asked: can situating oneself within these new 'Pig Earth' surroundings potentially radicalise an existing working process?
Our answer comes to you in the form of this exhibition. It comes in the lonesomeness of Taro Furukata's poignant attempts to assimilate (physically metabolising new spaces in the sanctity of his actual body)* and to reach back home (phoning his Grandma for hand-me-down recipes); in Claire Huber's struggle out of the physical and metaphysical confines of the body (dancing with and in nature in a wild and comic reach for meaning); in Ann Maria Healy's search for spiritual guidance or resonance amongst dated mythological traditions (removed and ritualised in their almost but not quite kitsch physical form), and in KVM's more than skin-deep transference of cultural mores (echoes of nasty cultural realities, warts and all).
*Including the artwork "The Colors Flow Slowly Through my Body (GuRuGuRu)" made by artist Taro Furukata in collaboration with yawn (Minako Kubo and Yota Okuyama).
I like to eat with my hands will run in the upper and lower galleries of Wexford Arts Centre from Monday 29th August to Wednesday 5th October and gallery hours are Monday to Saturday, from 10am-5pm.
Visitors are advised that this exhibition contains some explicit imagery and parental discretion is advised.

Q: C# - Powershell not returning anything from invoke-command if a pipe ( | ) is used I have the following code to query remote servers and execute PowerShell cmdlets:
string query = ""; //I pass the powershell command here
InitialSessionState initial = InitialSessionState.CreateDefault();
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(initial);
runspace.Open();
string username = "" + Utilities.DC + "\\" + Utilities.getUsr();
Collection<PSObject> results;
PSCredential cred = new PSCredential(username, Utilities.getPass());
PowerShell account = PowerShell.Create();
account.Runspace = runspace;
ScriptBlock filter = ScriptBlock.Create(query);
account.AddCommand("Invoke-Command");
account.AddParameter("Credential", cred);
account.AddParameter("ComputerName", Utilities.Server);
account.AddParameter("ScriptBlock", filter);
results = account.Invoke();//Results obtained from the powershell query

If I pass a command like:
Get-ChildItem C:\Users -Directory

through the query string, I get the desired results back, however, If I have a more complex command with a pipe like:
Get-ChildItem C:\Users -Directory | ForEach-Object { Write-Host "test"}

I get zero results. If I paste the second command directly in PowerShell it works perfectly, the problem only shows up when I try to inject it through Invoke-Command within C#. Does anyone has an idea of what I might be doing wrong?
Edit: I searched around the forum before posting and could not find any duplicate of this question. After @PetSerAl commented with his response everything made sense and I was able to find many other questions that has a direct link to this one, but without knowing the answer first it was impossible to establish any sort of connection between them.

Semester course; 3 lecture hours. 3 credits. Here is an example that creates a variable containg group means. In recent decades, optimization techniques have been streamlined by computational and artificial intelligence methods to analyze more variables, especially under non–linear, multivariable conditions, more quickly than ever before. If done correctly, all data points remain in the same relative order as prior to transformation. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2nd edition, 2007.
We space with the right arrow key to the end of the formula, hit shift ^ and we see the cursor rise to the superscript position where we can insert the 2. With "complete data," the exact time-to-failure for the unit is known (e.g., the unit failed at 100 hours of operation). However, if you enjoy using the more advanced features of Math Mechanixs Professional, we kindly ask that you register the software after your 30 day evaluation period has ended.
This implementation splits layers into two types: those constituting the majority that fall completely under the distribution and can be sampled extremely fast without a rejection test, and a few additional layers that encapsulate the fringe of the distribution and require a rejection test. Chapman & Hall/CRC, Boca Raton, FL, 2005. Real life roulette spins and randomly generated roulette numbers validate this law � always.
The organisers invite specialists in group theory, ring theory, universal algebra and model theory, computability theory, nonclassical logics, and theoretical computer science to contribute and to participate. In the elementary grades, students give carefully formulated explanations to each other. Any set of methodologies that can help in this task will be invaluable. The user interface provides direct manipulation tools for specifying the eye position, center of view, light sources, and color ramps.

The frequency density is the frequency for that class divided by the width of that class. Tetrad - Search algorithms and statistical modelling. A Gap of zero is best, but if the Gap is negative 0.02 or greater the components will rattle. If the production process, its inputs, or its environment changes (for example, the machines doing the manufacture begin to wear) this distribution can change. The p-value will appear in the selected cell, D12.
More complicated computations can be performed in user supplied subroutines. The software also generates combinations for all lotto games, including Powerball, Mega Millions, Euromillions. For example, proportion and percentage variables (e.g., percent of students in a school passing end-of-grade tests) and count variables of the type I presented above (number of events happening) tend to violate several assumptions of analyses and produce highly-skewed distributions. In addition, adopting the R philosophy will enhance exchanges within and outside the morphometrics community.
You'll gain intimacy with forms such as the middle third Cantor set, the Mandelbrot set and the von Koch snowflake curve. Provides over a dozen kinds of plots and diagrams, basic statistical summaries, significance tests (chi-square, t, ANOVA ) and more advanced analyses (factorial, principal components, discriminant, variance, linear regression). There is also a technical manual with additional documentation. In quantitative studies, it is common to use graphs, tables, charts, and other non-textual elements to help the reader understand the data.

If you do not have a Data Analysis item, you will need to install the Data Analysis tools. Multivariate Generalized Linear Mixed Models Using R. Semester course; 3 lecture hours. 3 credits. The statistical glass modeling does not only result in a prediction of the property value itself. The book then covers the theory of generalized linear models, with chapters on binomial and multinomial logistic regression for categorical data and Poisson and negative binomial loglinear models for count data.
