WASHINGTON - The military is cracking down on special operations troops who share knowledge of their secret missions for profit, punishing seven Navy SEALs, including one involved in the mission to get Osama bin Laden, who moonlighted as advisers on a combat video game.
Current and former SEALs, including the author of a tell-all book on the bin Laden raid, complain they're getting mixed messages from the military, which likes to see itself on big and small screens on its own terms.
The seven SEALs are being reprimanded and having their pay docked for sharing information with the designers of "Medal of Honor: Warfighter," by video game company EA, according to military officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigations publicly.
The men will remain in the SEAL teams, but were punished for working on the video without their command's permission, revealing classified information by sharing the tactics they use and showing designers some of their specially designed combat equipment unique to their unit, the officials said.
Four more SEALs could face the similar punishment.
"We do not tolerate deviations from the policies that govern who we are and what we do as sailors in the United States Navy," Bonelli said. He alluded to the importance of honoring nondisclosure agreements that SEALs sign.
He said the punishments this week "send a clear message throughout our force that we are and will be held to a high standard of accountability."
The SEALs' unauthorized work came to light as part of the investigation of the book "No Easy Day," by former SEAL Matt Bissonnette, with his firsthand account of the raid that killed bin Laden in Pakistan last year. Publisher Penguin's Dutton Imprint ignored the Pentagon's warnings that the book contained classified information and published the book just ahead of the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks.
The Pentagon would have a hard time proving the video game makers had disseminated classified information that threatened national security because the combat tactics shown in the game are common to games and action movies, said Mark Zaid, a Washinton-based national security attorney who regularly handles cases involving secrecy agreements and classified information.
EA spokesman Peter Nguyen said the company has no plans to recall "Medal of Honor: Warfighter," and there are "no plans to alter the content contributed by combat veterans in the game." He would not elaborate.
"EA didn't break any rules," said Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities, an investment firm that follows video game companies. "It's not against the law for them to ask questions."
Video game companies often use military consultants for games in order to make them as realistic as possible.
The Xbox 360 version of the game scored poorly on with just 52 points out of 100 on Metacritic, a gaming website that aggregates reviews, Pachter said.
Pachter expects the latest "Medal of Honor," which launched on Oct. 23, to sell 3 million copies. The "Call of Duty" games routinely sell more than that in their first day in stores.
The SEALs who were punished for helping with the game were all members of Bissonnette's old unit, SEAL Team 6. Officials say Bissonnette drafted his friends from his old unit SEAL Team 6 to work on the video game - a common practice among the SEAL teams, where current and former members help trusted teammates to find work.
Current and former special operators troops complain there's a double standard when it comes to publicizing details of their missions. This year's movie "Act of Valor" was filmed with the Pentagon's approval and featured active-duty Navy SEALs, showing off the methods they use on the battlefield. Navy officials say they worked with the filmmakers as a recruiting tool and that unlike the video game, or the Bissonnette raid book, the filmmakers gave them an opportunity to review the film for classified material. They also point out that the SEALs in that movie were unpaid.
"I don't know if terrorists can just take from a video game tactics ... but it does speak to a bigger issue that just, hey, if you're not authorized to give out information or speak about information, then you have to be held accountable," said former Navy SEAL Scott Taylor, now with Special Operations OPSEC, a political advocacy group that criticized the Obama administration during the presidential campaign for releasing details of the bin Laden raid.
The head of Naval Special Warfare Command, Rear Adm. Sean Pybus, responded to the Bissonnette book by telling his force that "hawking details about a mission" and selling other information about SEAL training and operations puts the force and their families at risk.
Members of the SEAL community have been embarrassed by the rash of books and films about the elite force, and some SEALs say they fear top secret missions will now be given instead to units whose members keep quiet.


Beauty with a Twist: Girly Girl Nail Art Challenge Day #2: Blinged Out!
Girly Girl Nail Art Challenge Day #2: Blinged Out!
I haven't forgotten about this challenge, just trying to play catch-up... The 2nd challenge was "Blinged Out" and while my mind went automatically to rhinestones, I had these fun glitters from Martha Stewart Crafts to play around with.
I found this set of large hex glitters from the Martha Stewart collection at Michaels, a set of 12 different colors ( all named after gemstones). Since I already had on Nicole OPI Mer-maid For Each Other, I wanted to use different shades of blue and aqua in this set. Speaking of Mer-maid For Each Other, what a pretty color! It is a green/blue multichrome that also flashes gold, and is good in two coats. Rest assured it is NOT a Peridot dupe, but if you have China Glaze's Unpredictable, then you probably don't need this color. Unpredictable may be easier to get since Mer-maid For Each Other is a Target exclusive.
Once I finished applying my nail color, I then applied a coat of clear polish. I would recommend using a polish with a regular drying time, not a quick-dry. I then got friendly with a toothpick and got to work sticking on the glitter. I did each finger individually and then sealed the glitter in with a top coat.
index finger - I used China Glaze Ray-diant on half the nail and then used Sterling as the glitter accent.
This came out so ridiculously sparkly! These glitters are no joke, I'm so glad I purchased them. I've heard good things about using Martha Stewart glitter in creating polishes but these may be a tad too big. While they may look like they are lifting up, they laid flat on the nail.
I need to try this its so cute. Your so creative hun.
Thanks, let me know if you try it out!
thanks, my camera couldn't handle all the bling!
Yay for the new blog. This is really pretty!
thank you, craft stores are my new nail art stores, lol.
thanks, it was pretty easy, give it a whirl!
Love this- it makes me think of a glorious holographic honeycomb. Awesome!
Hahaha, I hadn't thought of it that way! I may need to revisit this manicure.

MEF II sold its final investment resulting in a final net return multiple of 4.5x for the Fund's investors
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (10 August 2018) – Mekong Capital is pleased to announce that the Mekong Enterprise Fund II (MEF II) has successfully divested 100% of its final remaining investment, which resulted in the Fund achieving a net return multiple of 4.5x and net IRR of 22.5% for its investors. This has marked one of the most successful funds in Asian Private Equity.
Launched in 2006, MEF II is the second private equity fund managed by Mekong Capital. MEF II's notable investments included Mobile World (Vietnam's largest nationwide retailer of mobile devices and consumer electronics), Golden Gate (the leading restaurant chain operator in Vietnam), Vietnam Australia International School (a leading private bilingual K-12 school in Vietnam), Mai Son (a leading fashion retailer) and ICP (personal care products).
MEF II completed the sale of its last remaining 5 million shares in Mobile World in January 2018, resulting in a 56.9x gross return multiple and 61.1% gross IRR, making this investment being one of the most successful investments in the history of Asian Private Equity. Prior to that, the Fund generated a gross return of 4.5x and 9.0x for its investments in Vietnam Australia International School and Golden Gate, respectively.
The last divestment of MEF II was Asia Chemicals Corporation (ACC) for a total consideration of US$8.9 million, generating a gross return multiple of 2.6x and a gross IRR of 15.1% for the investment in ACC. The Fund initially invested $3.8 million in ACC in 2011, which was its 10th and final investment. Established in 2001 as a privately-held company in the food industry, ACC has pivoted into a leading distributor of high-quality specialty ingredients, chemicals, non-oil related commodities and other materials, sourcing from worldwide suppliers and selling to a wide range of leading enterprises in Vietnam. ACC achieved a cumulative annual net profit growth rate of 18% over the holding period of the investment.

"The completion of the sale of the final holding in MEF II brings to a close the life of what has proved to be a most rewarding fund investing in new and fast- growing companies in Vietnam.

Mr. Chris Freund, Partner at Mekong Capital, shared:
"We are delighted that MEF II and its investee companies have been a great success over the last 12 years. MEF II represented a critical turning point in Mekong Capital's history as it was the fund in which we started to focus on consumer-driven investments, and also comprised the initial companies that applied the Vision Driven Investing framework. We are committed to continue to apply this framework to consistently deliver excellent performance, and to reinvent Private Equity in emerging markets."

Mushrooms add a hearty texture to any dish, which is exactly what you need in a curry. They also have a subtle flavour that lets other seasonings and spices do the talking. Here it is coconut, tomatoes, and fragrant cardamom and cloves that give this mushroom curry its distinctive fresh, floral taste – serve with brown rice for a meal that ticks all the boxes.
1. Heat a little rapeseed oil in a sauté pan over a medium heat and cook the onion, garlic and ginger until the onion has softened.
2. Heat a little oil in another frying pan and fry the chestnut mushrooms until slightly browned. Stir the mushrooms into the onion mixture along with the curry powder, cardamom pods and cloves. Cook gently for 1 minute.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes and red pepper and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer gently for a further 5 minutes to heat through.
4. While the mushroom curry is cooking, put the rice in a pan with a pinch of salt and cover with three times the amount of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20–25 minutes until the rice is tender and fluffy. Drain.
5. Remove the cloves and cardamom from the curry. Leave to stand for 10 minutes before serving with the brown rice.

Oil unlikely to return to $100 a barrel for years
Move would take major change in Saudi policy: Tom Kloza
By Myra P. Saefong, MarketWatch
Oil won't see $100 for a long time, says OPIS's Tom Kloza.
Traders said goodbye to $100 oil prices a little over a year ago, and they might be staying away even longer than some expect.
West Texas Intermediate crude-oil prices won't likely climb back to $100 a barrel this year, or next, according to Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis at Oil Price Information Service.
'Generally, it is difficult to make a case for $100 a barrel oil through the next few years.'
Tom Kloza, Oil Price Information Service
"Anything beyond the realm of the next 18 months smacks of witchcraft rather than real analysis," he said in an email interview. "Generally, it is difficult to make a case for $100 a barrel oil through the next few years."
Kloza sees a more realistic range between $40 and $60 a barrel for monthly WTI averages over the next 15 months.
"Anything north of $60 a barrel brings a return of drilled-but-uncompleted shale wells, and anything south of $40 a barrel probably inspires cuts in some of the larger domestic and overseas projects," he said.
Oil prices have dropped more than 50% from their peak in the summer of 2014, pressured by a global glut of supplies and concerns about a slowdown in energy demand from China.
/zigman2/quotes/209726989/delayed CLX25 62.35, +0.03, +0.05%
On Wednesday, November WTI crude (NYM:CLX25) was trading at $44.89 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, down $1.47, or 3.2%. November Brent crude on the ICE Futures exchange was at $48.22, down 86 cents, or 1.7%.
An executive from Brazil's Petroleo Brasileiro SA (BSP:BR:PETR3) (BSP:BR:PETR4) has said that oil prices won't make it back to $100 at all. "It won't get to $100 again. If it gets to $70, we'll be happy," Cristina Pinho, an executive manager at Petrobras said at an event in Rio de Janeiro , according to Bloomberg News.
Billionaire Saudi businessman Prince al-Waleed bin Talal made headlines in January when he predicted oil would never again top $100 a barrel, deeming such price levels "artificial."
Kloza argues that a $100 price for WTI is not possible without a change in Saudi Arabia's "policy of market share, as opposed to the long-held policy of being the [Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries'] swing producer."
He said a change in Saudi policy isn't very likely, but the Saudis do "have the power to alter the calculus that has prevailed for crude-oil prices since after the OPEC meeting last November."
Meanwhile, a slide in emerging-market growth, particularly in China, would change the "variable of rising demand," he said. And "weakness in the spot prices for gasoline and diesel and heating oil could tug crude-oil prices lower in the fourth quarter."
Looking much further forward, Kloza was optimistic that higher oil prices are on tap in the next decade.
"Investment banks project that light duty vehicle counts in India and China will advance to around 250 million versus about 50 million in 2008," he said.

Q: Monitor Scylla db using Prometheus and Grafana I have installed scylla db in Server A.
Installed Prometheus and Grafana in Server B.
Monitoring the scylla db server resource(CPU , RAM , Disk perfromance ..,) using node exporter ( installed node exporter in Server A).
Need to monitor scylla db operations using Prometheus and Grafana(from Server B).
What are all the exporters needs to be installed in Server A , and dashboard needed for scylla db monitoring in Grafana

A: There are two kinds of metrics relevant for the ScyllaDB monitoring stack:
a) Internal DB metrics. ScyllaDB exports prometheus metrics natively. So you don't need anything extra running in Server A for those to work. All you need to do is point to the server(s) in the scylla_servers.yml file from the monitoring side.
b) Linux metrics (disk utilization, network, etc). That is what node_exporter is for. So just make sure node_exporter is running in ServerA, and point to that server again in the node_exporter_servers.yml  in the monitoring side.
In a lot of situations, of course, those two will be identical - only the ports differing (the exception is containerized environments where there are multiple ScyllaDB servers in a single Linux hosts). To fast track that case, Scylla Monitoring ships a script genconfig.py, which will generate node_exporter_servers.yml and scylla_server.yml with the correct ports given just a list of IPs of the servers running Scylla.

The Crew blogged that a local store, Sentry Food Stores, would be selling a product called Cool Claws. A product for kitties the is like ice cream.
Mum found it in the store tonight and gave me a taste and I ate it right up. YUM.
Last week I gotted my pressies from the Meezers. Included was a little bear. I had thought that I would name it Norton since he had wented to the Bridge. But now that Trixie as gone to the Bridge too, the little bear will be Trixie Norton.
Just to show you all of the little stuff animals I have collected. A few from mum and others from some of my blogging buddies. Left to right: Monte, Tex, Eric, Ethan, Sam, Trixie-Norton and Nittany the Lion in front.
::Sigh:: Guess the weather in Whiskonsin matches my mood today, the sky has been crying most of the day. I have just been kinda down. Just wanted to stay in mum's bed and nap.
We learned early today that Trixie wented to the Rainbow Bridge. She was a fine senior, ginger catizen. Loved by her family and her furiends in the blogoshpere. She will be missed. She wasn't a member of The Gorgeous Gingers, maybe she should be our firsted posthumous member.
Plus no word yet on Luna. Poor little thing was probably so scared and the VET was not watching. She got out of the VET building and hasn't been seen since. I hope she is OK and comes back to her beans who miss her furry much. But if for some reason she is gone, maybe Trixie can guide her from the Bridge. Such a purrty young kittie to have been lost so young. Some candles to guide you on your journey.
Recently I was the 10,000th visitor too The Meezers blog, tying with my buddy Kizmet. The Meezers were so kind to send out goodies to both of us.
The card said I was getting a "surf and turf" dinner, so lobster and filet mignon Sheba cat food, a bag of Tempations treats, a couple of toys, extra catnip and a new little guy for my stuff animal collection. My first choice to play with was the Cosmic Catnip bag. I reached up on the couch and pulled it onto the floor.
Then I rassled it around and licked it up good. But after a few minutes I had had enough. Mum watched me and I didn't get crazy from the nip. My eyes didn't get big and I didn't have to "nap off the 'nip".
My blog counter is just under 7000, but we didn't start the counter when we first started the blog. So probably more visitors than it says, but I don't know exactly how many!
Purrs and thank you to the Meezers, Sammy, Miles and Trixie too.
The Meezer's and others have been doing a game/tag. Join in if you want.
6. Tag whomever you want, or not.
Well, the closest book is one mum gotted from the library called The Google Story by David Vise and Mark Malseed. It's due back at the library on Monday and she has half the book to read yet. Mum sure reads funny books for fun.
"There was one thing in particular about the California based Jeeves that really caught his attention before he signed on as a top executive: whereas the book publisher he worked for, IDG, had $200 million in sales and a stock market value of $250 million in the late 1990's, Ask Jeeves had gone public with just $10 million in sales and $80 million in losses, yet had a stock market value of $5 billion by December 1999. "After a while," Berkowitz recalled, "I wanted to get into the Internet." Ask Jeeves had a history, to be sure, and while Berkowitz's focus was more on the future than the past, he first set about understanding how a firm once worth billions of dollars could have stumbled, what sort of talent it had on board, and most important, how it was percieved by users."
So do you Google? Have you Googled yourself? Think about it.
If I just enter Derby, I mainly see things about towns named Derby. Maybe the Kentucky Derby. If I add Derby Cat then I found an interesting site of Royal Doulton of a purrty cat.
But enter Derby and sassy and you get my blog at the top of the lists. Sassy and Cat will find me too, but not quite at the top of the list.
I Googled mum and found her, plus we even gotted her nephew too! It's not a common last name and their firsted name start with the same letter.
So sometime, see where you come up on a search. Check out your beans too!
Well, maybe more correctly I am getting out of the bag. Just another plaything to check out. Plus this musta been a small bag, my legs look short here. Musta been crouching along.
Something came and raided mum's sunflower seeds overnight. Mum thinks it was probably Mr. Raccoon.
So mum hadded to clean up the seed that had spilled. But Mr. Raccoon didn't eat that much. More than enough left for the birdies.
Yesterday was a furry lazy day for both mum and me. Once she was done with her breakfast she wented outside and swept up the spilled birdie food and refilled the feeder. Then she came in and got her book and a drinkie. She sat and read for a while.
Then she came in and put me in my portable porch! So I got to sit outside with her. That was so nice. Plus we hadded lots of visitors yesterday to the yard.
Mr. Cardinal, plus lots of other birdies.
We did most of this today again too. Since it has gotten nice again, we can spend time outside. Mum had a bit more house work to do, food shopping, laundry and vacuuming. But we still had time to sit outside. Plus mum cooked outside and I gotted to have some of the grilled chicken.
After yesterdays post people asked about the top of the big cold box. The only thing up there is me and some dust. Mum does not keep stuff up there. Yes, I have to jump to the counter and then up on top.See my post here on my jumping up route. Mum doesn't mind me up there, that is where she prefers me to be when she is cooking or eating. Sanjee I think it would be furry hard for a kittie to knock over the big cold box.
Also a big reminder in TWO months, that means October20-22 is the party I am hosting. Put it on your calendars, you don't want to miss it.
Plus lots of purrayers for The Calico Girls mom Toni. She will need surgery next month. We will need to get the good kittie healing vibes going again. We did it for Edselsmom, we can do it again.
Overall mum and me had a nice quiet weekend. We don't get many of those.
Just keeping track of mum as she made her breakfast. Now, don't forgets me. I think we are going to have a nice quiet weekend. Oh, the new batch of crunchies are in my bowl. Time for breakfast. Bye.
It has been an interesting day. Mum worked from home today. So I had to hit her up several times for my scritches and treats. Mum stayed home as some men in a truck came and took the old couch away. She wanted to make sure they only took what they were supposed to.
Last night mum gotted home furry late. She was opening the windows in the house when we heard this really strange noise/scream/whimper from the back yard. It spooked me and I was running around the house. Mum and several of the neighbors went out and found a raccoon up in a tree, but they haven't figured out why it was making such a noise.
My little stuffed raccoon that mum brought home from Mexico, I decided to name him Monte, short for Monterrey. That is where he came from. Thanks for the other name suggestions.
I am having fun with my new toys that I got with my Secret Paws. So far I really do like the red octopie. Mum keeps moving to places and then she sees how far I move it. Plus the red thing with feathers, she moves that for me so I get hunting and pouncing practice.
Otherwise a nice quiet day. I like mum working from home, we can just hang out together.
Mum heard some buzzing and saw me pawing at the screen of the big window that goes to the floor. So she walked over and found that a bee had gotten on the inside of the screen.
She was very brave and managed to get him on the outside of the screen without letting me out of the house! But then the silly bee, instead of flying away just sat and flew between the big hard window things. The outside was just a few inches away, but it took him an hour to find it's way out. Silly bee, I know how to get outside, just that mum won't let me get there.
So mum gotted the box inside and opened it up for me. Now as part of my profile I said I like the color red. Well they came through with lots of red, including the little bag that had all the goodies.
Lots of fun stuff including a red octopi, better make sure that Tipper of The Crew doesn't get this! That was the firsted thing I wanted to play with. Plus an addition to my stuffed animal collection. A Nittany Lion, the mascot of Penn State.
So many thanks for all the goodies, time to go bug mum to play with me before she goes to bed.
Boy, things have sure changed around the house. The door bell ranged later yesterday and I wented to the door. But mum picked me up and put me in the back room. I heard her talking to a bunch of people and heard things getting moved around.
When mum letted me out of the back room, my old couch was outside on the patio and a new smaller couch was sitting inside in the same spot as the old couch. So I checked it out, it seems nice enough, about the height of the old one, so I have the same view. Since it is shorter than the old one, mum can reach over to give me scritches. Or I can put the move on her for treats.
Then mum wented out and broughted home two boxes and put together the little tables by the ends of the couch. Places to hold treat jars and such. Plus I can jump from the one closest by the window on to my window perch.
Mum wented to a special place yesterday, a museum in a field, to see stuff about kings, queens and goddesses of Egypt. One of the special goddesses is Bastet. Mum says a tag says that Bastet was the goddess of joy and protector of women. Hmmm. Guess I have to protect mum but she broughted home a little bastet that was made in Egypt. Never hurts to have backup.
But there was also an evil kittie goddess too called Sekhmet or at least she was considered to be a goddess of vengence. They had a big stone carving of Sekhmet that she could take a picture of. This wasn't part of the really special exhibit.
Plus while she was there she saw a whole lot of stuff about a guy call Tut, King Tut.
My life, my style. A lazy day, napping on the couch.
I was tagged by Diva Kitty & the Fluffies.
Here's the rules:The player of this game starts with "5 weird things/habits about yourself ". In the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names. The people who get tagged need to write a blog about their 5 weird things/habits, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. Don't forget to leave your victim a comment that says "you're tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.
So 5 weird things or habits about me. Hmmm.
1. I am a furry friendly kitty. I will run to answer the door when the doorbell rings.
2. I don't mind thunder boomies or fireworks.
4. I am not a good purr kitty. I purr now and then but not lots.
5. I am not a lap cat.
Here are some shots of mum's bears. These are all in addition to the new one she broughted home from Mexico.
As you can see I will have to collect lots more to catch up to her. In the first shot you can't even see all of the little guys. Some of these are store bought and some hand made. Plus a few non-bear stuffed critters too.
One of our newer blogging contacts is Kismet at The Blog of a Big Man Cat. He commented that I had big whisker humps.
Well it isn't that they are big and bumpy, but more that they stand out against the lighter fur of my muzzle.
And Kismet hangs his legs out in front of him. Good way to try to keep cool on a hot day.
Oh and his bean is from Whiskonsin, so that is good.
It has finally gotten nice enough to have the windows open again. So I have been watching and listening to all the stuff outside the house. Birdies, buns, squirrels, crickets and such. We had a nice rain this morning with a little bit of thunder boomies and lightning.
Virginger was enjoying the rain. She showed off the grapes getting bigger on the vine. Soon they can be eaten. Plus a purrty flower, mum calls it a Stargazer Lilly. A little something for my Princess.

Families sometimes have difficulty knowing how much care a loved one needs, and Michael's family was no exception. A concerned neighbor, Melissa, called CICOA when she believed the 62-year-old with disabilities needed more attention.
"CICOA got me my Medicaid waiver and helped me start putting money in a trust, so I can save up for a new wheelchair," said Michael, who has multiple sclerosis and severe arthritis, among other physical challenges.
With help from CICOA, Melissa makes sure Michael receives the daily assistance he needs to run errands and get to and from medical appointments. He also receives seven home-delivered meals per week, and eating nutritious food has helped Michael lose nearly 70 pounds since last summer.
Today Michael enjoys tinkering with electronic snap circuits, attending weekly Bible studies and cracking jokes with his cheeky sense of humor. He genuinely appreciates CICOA's caring staff for being a positive force in his life.
"They have been a magic key that opened the door for me," he said.


When pallid bats are stung by an Arizona bark scorpion, they shrug it off as if nothing even happened, which is odd considering this predatory arachnid is the most venomous scorpion in all of North America. New research explains how this unusual level of immunity is possible—a finding that could translate to an entirely new class of painkillers for humans.
Getting bit by an Arizona bark scorpion is not fun. Its bite causes excruciating pain, followed by numbness, tingling, vomiting, and sometimes even death. For small animals that like to prey on this creature, typically birds, reptiles, and various rodents, this scorpion's sting is likewise painful and deadly, but as new research published this week in PLoS One reveals, the bark scorpion's venom is utterly and completely useless against the pallid bat.
Scientists have long suspected that pallid bats are resistant to this scorpion's deadly sting, but no one has actually taken the time to prove this in the lab. Not only that, scientists weren't even sure if pallid bats, which range from British Columbia to Mexico, even prey on Arizona bark scorpions. The new study, led by University of California Riverside biologist Khaleel A. Razak, is the first to take a systematic look at this alleged scorpion-bat relationship, showing that pallid bats do indeed prey on this scorpion, and that they're unfazed by its venom, even after multiple stings.
Pallid bats are gleaning bats, which means they pluck animals from the ground, like crickets, centipedes, ground beetles, and grasshoppers, while using their echolocation strictly for navigational purposes. Using high-speed video, the researchers confirmed that pallid bats attack Arizona bark scorpions, and that the scorpions sting the bats in self-defence—but to no avail. The study showed that pallid bats are resistant to the scorpion's venom at concentrations that would cause significant pain and death in mice. Even direct injections of the venom had no effect on the bats and their behavior.
Looking ahead, the researchers would like to learn more about this process and see if it can replicated with drugs. If successful, this finding could one day result in an entirely new class of pain relieving medicines. How cool would it be to take a pill inspired by bat biology?

The oldest book in our collection was written by Johannes Müller (1436 - 1476), better known as Regiomontanus. He was a brilliant German mathemetician, astronomer and scholar. His impact to the world of science is reflected by the fact that the crater Regiomontanus on the Moon is named after him. He was a much sought after astrologer and cast horoscopes for famous patrons of the court of Emperor Frederick III.
In 1471, Regiomontanus went to Nuremberg where he set up the first observatory in Germany, with the help of a wealthy benefactor. The observatory was equipped with scientific instruments crafted by Regiomontanus. It was here that he observed the great comet of 1472, later known as Halley's Comet.
Ephemerides are astronomical almanacs consisting of tables showing the position of celestial bodies during the course of a number of dates in a regular sequence. They show the future positions of the sun, moon, planets, comets and eclipses. According to Manly P. Hall, the ephemerides of Regiomontanus were regarded as the most authentic of their time. This ephemeris for 1477 consists of fourteen unnumbered leaves printed on heavy handmade paper. It is very rare; complete copies are virtually unknown. The Ephemerides of Regiomontanus are believed to have been used by Christopher Columbus. They guided him on his journey to the New World, and enabled him to predict the lunar eclipse of 1504, which astonished the Indigenous peoples. They were so impressed by this prediction that they agreed to provide his crew with much needed food.
The invention of movable type by Johann Gutenberg in 1454 inspired Regiomontanus to set up the first printing house devoted to the printing and publishing of scientific books in Nuremberg. He realized the tremendous value of producing multiple identical copies of scientific texts would have on the advancement of scientific knowledge. This book was printed by his press.
Printed for Rob. Clavel, Tho. Passinger, Will Cadman, Tho. Sawbridge, and Will Birch: London, 1670.
Travel in the 17th century was not easy. A voyage through the Mediterranean was fraught with danger. There was the risk of illness, attack by pirates, perilous winds, and shipwreck. Despite the dangers, young aristocrats of the 17th and 18th century considered travel as an opportunity to expand their horizons and broaden their knowledge. They would often embark on a "Grand Tour" as the culmination of their Classical formal education.
George Sandys (1578-1644), the author of this immensely popular literary travelogue, was born into a wealthy, Protestant family in England. He was educated at Oxford and received acclaim as both a poet and translator of latin poetry. In 1610, at the age of 32, he began a two-year journey throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, covering much of the Ottoman Empire.
The first published account of his travels appeared in 1615. Over the next 50 years, several more editions were published, including translations in Dutch and German. Our library holds the 6th edition of this work.
The book is beautifully illustrated with engraved maps and images of the people and places he observed. His innovative approach differed from the travel literature of his time in that the narrative is interspersed with poetry, allusions to classical history, literature and religion. It incorporates detailed cultural information about the land, people and places he visits.
The frontispiece, engraved by Francis Delaram, encapsulates a visual statement of the scope and message of the book.
Although Sandys is credited with attempting to provide an unbiased account of other lands and people, his attitude towards Ahmed I, shown in the left side of the illustration, is decidedly negative. He is depicted as a tyrant, holding an orb in one hand, which signifies the world he wishes to dominate, and a yoke in the other, showing his desire to enslave those he disfavors. The message is further emphasized by having him stand on books and a broken scale, which symbolize justice, thus emphasizing his distain for the truth.
The woman to the right of Ahmed is the Egyptian goddess Isis. In between the two is the original title of the book: A Relation of a Journey begun in An: Dom: 1610. A the top of the page is an image of an ascending Christ implying the eventual triumph of Christianity over the Turkish empire.
Sandys' scholarship and familiarity with classical sources is emphasized with the depiction of the Cumaean Sibyl, or prophetess, in the front of her cave sanctuary in the lower center of the page. Virgil made references to her in The Aeneid, believing that this cave marked the entrance to the underworld. Throughout the text, Sandys weaves quotations from ancient literature and mythology. The literary associations serve to connect us with a shared cultural history, providing the reader with history and literature lessons to an otherwise entirely foreign lands.
The text is comprised of four books which correspond to the places Sandys visited. Book one focuses on the Turkish Empire, the second explores Egypt, the Holy Land is the subject of book three, and book four covers Italy. Each section provides details on the history, politics, religion, architecture, plants, animals, culture, and customs of the places he explored. Numerous black-and-white illustrations enhance the narrative bringing to life the inhabitants of the various regions.
Sandys book was well received in the literary world. Francis Bacon, Ben Johnson, and John Milton were among the luminaries who chose to incorporate information from this book into their own works.
By Prince Esper Ukhtomsky; London, 1896.
A monumental resource consisting of 2 volumes over 15 inches high and containing nearly 500 wood engravings and numerous heliogravures. The book is a readable and beautifully written travelogue. It provides a glimpse into 19th century Russia and its relationship to the Eastern world.
In the fall of 1890, Tsar Alexander III wanted to launch the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway to tie eastern parts of his Empire closer to its core. He decided that his son, Nicholas, should be present at the ceremony in Vladivostok commemorating the beginning of its construction. Nicholas II and a large entourage embarked on a 10-month Grand Tour of Asia to complete his education and participate in a diplomatic mission of goodwill. At the end of the voyage, Nicholas would lay the first brick of the railroad. The trip was cut short in April 1891 when, while traveling through the city of Otsu, Japan, Nicholas was the victim of an assassination attempt. He was attacked in his open rickshaw by Tsuda Sanzo, a policeman who was escorting him. Sanzo's sword left a scar on his face, but the wound was not life threatening. The quick action by Nicholas's cousin, Prince George of Greece, saved his life.
Prince Esper Ukhtomsky was selected as a tutor to accompany the Cesarewitch (heir to the throne) and record the journey. Ukhtomsky was a poet, a journalist, a Buddhist, and passionate about Eastern culture. He amassed a large collection of Chinese and Tibetan art which is now on display in the State Historical museum.
The beautifully illustrated volumes feature ethnographic descriptions of each of the places they visited: Greece, Egypt, India, Indochina, Japan and Siberia. The two volume set took six years to complete and each chapter was approved by Nicholas II. It was first published in Russian in 1893 and later translated into English, French, German and Chinese.

Biografia
Josephine Lang proveniva da una famiglia di musicisti. Il nonno e il prozio, Martin Lang (1755-1819) e Franz Lang (1751-1816), furono entrambi affermati cornisti dell'orchestra di corte di Monaco. Il figlio di Martin, Theobald Lang (1783-1839) seguì le orme paterne e divenne violinista nella stessa orchestra nel 1798, all'età di soli 15 anni. Nel 1808 Theobald sposò Regina Hitzelberger (1786-1827), figlia di altri due eccellenti musicisti: il padre era un virtuoso del flauto e la madre, Sabine Renk Hitzelberger (1755-1817), una delle più celebri cantanti liriche del suo tempo, molto apprezzata in particolare da Carl Maria von Weber. Il primo figlio di Theobald e Regina, Ferdinand Lang (1810-1882) intraprese con grande successo la carriera di attore comico a Monaco.

Josephine nacque a Monaco di Baviera il 14 marzo del 1815. A causa della sua nascita prematura, di due mesi, era di costituzione fragile e fu soprannominata dai genitori " figlia dell'ansia" (Angstkind). Durante la prima infanzia fu la madre a darle lezioni di pianoforte , ma fu presto chiaro che il talento di Josephine richiedeva una formazione musicale più ampia e completa. A 11 anni fece il suo debutto ufficiale come pianista, in un museo di Monaco, suonando le Variazioni di Henri Herz. La sua prima composizione risale invece al 1828.

Dopo la morte della madre, avvenuta nel 1827, quando Josephine aveva solo 12 anni, si trovò a dover contribuire al bilancio familiare e iniziò così a dare lezioni private di pianoforte. L'anno dopo il padre si risposò con Therese Seligmann, che si rivelò essere un'ottima seconda madre per Josephine, soprattutto perché si occupò di completare la sua istruzione, iscrivendola ad un istituto scolastico. Fino ad allora, infatti, la sua educazione era stata discontinua ed affidata perlopiù a insegnanti privati.

Il suo padrino, Joseph Stieler, pittore di corte a Monaco e autore anche di famosi ritratti di Beethoven e Goethe, fu molto importante per la sua formazione artistica. Frequentando il suo studio Josephine conobbe alcuni dei più grandi artisti del suo tempo. I mesi estivi passati nella residenza di Stieler, sul Tegernsee, furono inoltre molto utili alla salute cagionevole di Josephine, che qui poteva anche lavorare con calma e cura alle sue composizioni.

Nel 1830 Lang conobbe Felix Mendelssohn che, entusiasta del suo talento, divenne per un periodo suo insegnante di contrappunto. Le raccomandò in seguito di studiare a Berlino con Carl Friedrich Zeller e con sua sorella Fanny Mendelssohn, ma il padre non le permise di lasciare casa. Negli anni Trenta del XIX secolo Lang insegnò quindi canto e pianoforte, divenne cantante di corte presso la Königliche Vokalkapelle e compose.

Nel 1840 Josephine conobbe il suo futuro marito, il poeta e pianista dilettante Reinhold Köstlin. Si era infatti recata in primavera alla stazione climatica di Kreuth, per curare una pleurite. Qui, alcune settimane più tardi, arrivò anche Köstlin, gravemente malato. Secondo i pettegolezzi di Kreuth, la sua malattia sarebbe stata causata da "eventi sconvolgenti"; tali fatti includevano un'infelice relazione con Agnes Schebest, cantante di spicco, che non aveva ricambiato o forse aveva tradito il suo amore. Durante il 1840 scrisse molti Lieder, tuttavia dopo il matrimonio e il conseguente trasferimento nella città di Tübingen, avvenuto nel 1842, la sua produttività ebbe un calo.

Lang riprese a comporre con zelo e assiduità circa 14 anni dopo, alla morte del marito, bisognosa di poter mantenere se stessa e i suoi sei figli. Grazie all'amico Ferdinand Hiller, che si era tra l'altro offerto di scrivere un saggio biografico su di lei (sarà pubblicato nel 1867 sul Kölner Zeitung), e con l'aiuto di Clara Schumann trovò editori per la sua musica. Dei suoi 46 numeri d'opera pubblicati, quasi tutti sono Lieder. Nel 1882 Breitkopf & Härtel pubblicò una raccolta postuma di 40 Lieder, molti dei quali inediti. Lang si identificava fortemente con le sue composizioni e le chiamava "il mio diario" (meine Lieder sind meine Tagesbuch). I temi poetici delle sue composizioni vocali, in tutto circa 150, riguardano l'amore o la natura; le sue melodie, spesso audaci, riflettono il gusto e l'intuizione di una cantante.

Gli anni tra il 1856 e il 1867 furono i più difficili per Josephine Lang. Il figlio maggiore Felix, figlioccio di Mendelssohn, soffrì di una malattia psichiatrica e fu ricoverato presso il manicomio di Winnental, dove morì a causa di un incendio. Il secondo figlio Theobald, che era paralizzato, morì nel 1873. Le due figlie femmine si sposarono e si trasferirono in città lontane. Nel 1880 morì anche il terzo figlio maschio, Eugen; nello stesso anno morì anche Josephine, per un attacco di cuore. L'ultimo figlio Heinrich Adolf Köstlin (1846-1907) fu teologo e storico della musica, in particolare della musica della chiesa evangelica.

Action "Reminiscent of War Preparations"
With humanitarian aid ships from Lebanon poised to make attempts to deliver their aid to the Gaza Strip by this weekend, and Iranian aid ships looking to run the Israeli blockade some time after that, Israel is approaching the attempts to deliver cement and medicine with the same seriousness as it approaches its regular wars.
There is said to be a surge in activity "reminiscent of war preparations" on both the military and governmental front, with Prime Minister Netanyahu's Security Cabinet meeting frequently to discuss how to handle the latest ships deliberating on exactly how they will attack these latest ships in the wake of international fallout from its deadly raid on the Mavi Marmara, an aid ship carrying electric wheelchairs and toys to the besieged strip.
While the Mavi Marmara was from Turkey, a close ally of Israel (or at least it was a close ally before the attack), Lebanon and Iran are both considered "enemy states" by Israel, and the Israeli government's rhetoric suggests an eagerness to react harshly to the ships.
Since the Mavi Marmara, Israel has pledged to increase the flow of goods through its official border crossings. Despite the fact that the new goods haven't really started flowing yet and the full details of the new "banned goods list" haven't been made public, Netanyahu insists the move eliminates any need for aid ships and "proves" that the ships are just troublemakers. Of course the Israeli government also insisted there was no need for aid ships before the policy change.
Israel's military is said to be preparing more "non-violent" (which presumably just means non-lethal) tactics for stopping the aid ships. While the US has stood behind Israel's last attack and there appears to be no UN probe of the killings on the horizon, it riled a number of nations and drew renewed attention to Israel's ongoing siege of Gaza. More killings would likely be a serious embarrassment for Israel, particularly if, as with the previous attack, the Israeli claims of "terrorists" on board don't stand up to even casual scrutiny.

Q: How to change style attribute value with jquery at runtime Here is my <img> tag when screen size becomes 1199px:
<img id='rotateimage' src='images/01/0001.jpg' width='1200' height='700'>

I want to change the width and height, for example: width: 1000; height:500 and decrease the width and height when the screen size becomes 1199px.
Here is what am doing, but it's not working:
if ($screen_width <= 1199){

    $width2 = 1000;
    $height = 500;

}

$("img").attr('width', '$width2');
$("img").attr('height', '$height');

A: Use CSS for set your image size and use $("img").css("width"); for modifications

A: You can do this using the .css() function, as others suggested, or, you can define media queries in CSS.
jQuery
function res() {
  if ($window.width() <= 1199) {
    $("#rotateimage").prop("width", 1000).prop("height", 500);
  } else {
    $("#rotateimage").prop("width", 1200).prop("height", 700);
  }
}

$( window ).resize(function() {
  res();
});

Media queries in CSS
#rotateImage {
  width: 1200px;
  height: 700px;
}

 @media only screen and (max-width: 1199px) {
  #rotateImage {
    width: 1000px;
    height: 500px;
  }
}

Video: Pascal Siakam Says 'S--t Happens' About Thunder-Paul George Trade Rumors
Mike Chiari@mikechiariTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistJuly 16, 2019
Chris Szagola/Associated Press
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam was reportedly the subject of trade talks between the Raptors and Oklahoma City Thunder this offseason, but the rising star isn't sweating it.
In an interview with TMZ Sports published Tuesday, Siakam was asked about the notion that he could have been dealt to OKC after winning a championship with the Raptors last season:
"It's the NBA. S--t happens," Siakam said. "It's the NBA. It's a business."
After the Thunder traded Paul George to the Los Angeles Clippers so that he could join forces with Kawhi Leonard, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Thunder general manager Sam Presti offered both George and guard Russell Westbrook to Toronto in a trade centered on Siakam, but the Raptors balked.
Had the Raptors traded for George, there is a good chance they would have been able to retain Leonard and make another run at a championship.
While George is a superstar who finished third in the MVP voting last season, he is four years older than the 25-year-old Siakam, who is one of the fastest-rising stars in the NBA.
After putting up modest numbers in his first two NBA seasons, Siakam broke out in 2018-19 by averaging 16.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 54.9 percent from the field. That was enough to earn Siakam the NBA Most Improved Player Award.
With Leonard now out of the picture, the Raptors are essentially Siakam's team along with All-Star guard Kyle Lowry.
Toronto doesn't seem to have the makings of a championship contender, but with essentially its entire team returning aside from Kawhi, it should still be a top team in the Eastern Conference at the very least.

The Ritz Carlton in Naples now has a vending machine for Champagne
Is this the next ridiculous luxury hotel amenity?
By Robb Report	 on February 13, 2019
Staying Power: Henry's Townhouse, Marylebone
Former NASA Chiefs Are Planning to Build a Hotel in Space by 2024
Robb Recommends: Pandaw's River Cruises
Remember those old motel vending machines, located in some dark hallway right next to the big icemaker? This new hotel amenity isn't that. The Ritz-Carlton, Naples in Florida recently reopened after being shuttered by 2017's Hurricane Irma, and right there in its lobby, between plinths topped with bouquets of hydrangeas is the holy grail of vending machines: A gold-rimmed 1,000-plus-pound Moët & Chandon dispenser filled with Imperial Brut and Imperial Rosé vintages in 200 mL bottles (which measures out to just a little more than a single pour).
Guests can purchase special gold coins at the hotel's front desk for $25 each (ID required) to redeem in the machine. An in-house sommelier makes sure the machine is always chilled to a perfect 30-degrees Farenheit, and a mechanism inside ensures a soft landing for each bottle so you'll get that perfect cork pop without any spills.
It's a welcome addition to the standard lobby experience, but with any luck it might also be a trend we'll be seeing more of in hotels around the world. The legend of the modern bubbly dispenser began in 2013 at the Selfridges department store in London. Introduced by Moët & Chandon for the holiday season, it held 320 mini-bottles of Champagne. A few years later, it turned up at London's All Bar One in Leicester Square; then, in 2016, the trend made its way Stateside to the Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas, which added one of the machines to an unassuming corner of its own lobby. (The hotel, which was known for all kinds of cool amenities, has since been reflagged as a Waldorf Astoria.)
Just a few months after the Ritz-Carlton, Naples debuted its bubbly vendor, the idea gained even more steam thanks to the tabloids: It was reported that model Chrissy Teigen and musician John Legend gave one to reality TV star Kris Jenner as a housewarming gift.
Which begs the question: Is this about to be the next big thing in ridiculous luxury amenities? Judging by the reception of the vending machine at the Ritz-Carlton, the answer is yes. The intoxicating installation has become the hotel's Eiffel Tower, Disneyland and Central Park all wrapped into one. Hundreds of selfies have chronicled its bubbly existence on Instagram. One guest even filed a complaint about it: "I need to talk to whoever installed this machine," he said. "We now have 200 pictures of the machine, and I have zero pictures of the sunset and zero pictures with my wife."

Obituary: Genevieve "Genny" Ruth (Storck) Goehl, 89
Genevieve "Genny" Ruth (Storck) Goehl, 89, of Whitewater stayed true to the way she lived; she went out on her own terms, in her own home, quickly and decisively on January 7, 2022, leaving us all to wonder what she had been up to.
Genevieve was born on May 20, 1932 in Richmond, Wisconsin to Emil and Anna (Krueger) Storck. They farmed and also ran the Whitehill Tavern in Richmond. Genny attended school in Whitewater, and during the time she was at City High, she met Walter "Wally" Goehl. Of course, she had to have him, and they married on April 16, 1950. Together, they had three children: Linda, Barbara, and James Goehl. They farmed in the Milton area until they bought the farm on Highway N in 1963. They also had "city" jobs in the early years. Genny worked at Whitewater Electronics and then a grocery store until she settled at Sentry Foods. She retired after more than 35 years at that store.
Wally and Genny took trips to Florida, and after Wally died in 1991, her many trips were with daughter, Barb, or her sisters. Her family was very important to her, and her social life revolved around family.
Genny loved to bowl and was very good at it, playing in a league for years. When arthritis wouldn't let her bowl anymore, she still was an enthusiastic snowmobiler. She belonged to both the Whitewater Sno-Seekers and the Koshkonong Club. As life slowed down, she lived to play golf and would never be seen riding in a cart. She was an energetic person who only sat still to socialize. Genny had the cleanest house, the perfect lawn, and she loved gardening and preserving all she grew. When she could no longer do these things, in her mid 80's, she tried to keep the family work up to her standards. All that drove by her once picture perfect home knew that Genny was no longer able to do what she loved. In the last years, the highlight of her weeks were her bi-weekly trips to town to visit with friends, and get on "The Pool." She really loved to win. Once walking and driving were just getting too hard to do, she mostly gave that up. She was a proud woman, who really did not want help, and kept her independence to the end.
Genny was a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Whitewater.
She is survived by her children, Barbara Miller, James (Jelaine) Goehl; grandchildren, Scott (Tylena) Hamilton, Mark (Tammy) Hamilton, Leslee Miller, Jarod (Amanda) Goehl, Daniel (Star) Goehl, Michael (Jade) Goehl, Jeff Hamilton; great-grandchildren, Kyle Hamilton, Clara Hamilton, Lane Hamilton, Tyler Hamilton, Corey Hamilton, Kaylee Goehl, Keira Goehl, Gabrielle Goehl, Joshua Goehl, Elizabeth Goehl, Matthew Goehl, Abigail Goehl, Rebekah Goehl; brother, Melvin (Judy) Storck; sister-in-law, Susan Storck; good friend, Sally Lilley; many nieces and nephews.
Genny was preceded in death by her parents, Emil and Anna Storck; husband, Wally Goehl; daughter, Linda Hamilton; and siblings, Lawrence Storck, Rosie Peyer, Phyllis Butke.
Donations may be made in Genny's name to the Alzheimer's Association.
Funeral services will take place at 12 PM on Thursday, January 13, 2022 at Nitardy Funeral Home in Whitewater. Visitation will take place from 11 AM until the time of services.
Online condolences can be made at www.nitardyfuneralhome.com

Peter Amsel has been a fan of gambling ever since his parents abdicated their child-rearing responsibilities by routinely plunking him in front of a television playing The Joker's Wild. A native of Toronto, Peter grew up a major fan of the Maple Leafs, which is probably why he was able to endure so many years of complete and utter failure at launching a writing career before ultimately finding his niche with CalvinAyre.com. Peter is highly sarcastic, deeply cynical and entirely too enamored with the sound of his own voice.
