YouTube Hit Booba Tags IMG For Licensing Program
UK Animation studio 3D Sparrow Group has appointed IMG to extend Booba through product and brand licensing partnerships.
Booba is a new, non-dialogue pre-school family show following the adventures of a joyful, funny and curious creature called Booba and his friends. The show has become a global hit on YouTube, reaching more than 13 billion views since first airing in 2017.
The show is also available worldwide on Amazon Prime, as well as through TV broadcasters in more than 45 countries.
"We are really excited to partner with IMG and are confident their expertise will help our digital superstar Booba launch high-quality licensed products with like-minded and best-in-class licensing partners to entertain generations of children," said Oli Bernard, CEO at 3D Sparrow Group. "It's a fantastic time for Booba right now with season 4 launching in Q4 this year, and season 5 planned for a 2023 release.
"We believe that Booba enables kids to discover the world around them, using their imagination to recreate their own Booba-inspired adventures."
The agreement will see the IMG further expand Booba's global footprint across wider lifestyle categories for fans of the show to enjoy, including toys, apparel, fast-moving consumer goods, events, and promotions.
"Booba has become a worldwide phenomenon and is loved by children around the world," said Sam Barker, Associate Vice President of Licensing at IMG. "We will focus on products that highlight and embody the spirit of the show's playful and humorous content, which children and other fans of the show enjoy.
"We can't wait to bring the Booba world to its millions of followers in engaging new ways."
Now in its fourth series, the show is loved for the entertaining situations Booba and his friends find themselves in while trying to explore the world around them. The characters interact together with a zest for discovery and an inventive mindset.
In 2021, 3D Sparrow collaborated with Sony Music to premiere the first-ever Booba music video with Avicii.

Taylor Swift said 2015 is her "favorite year of her life," and she has some good reasons to think so: It's only May, and the 25-year-old "Bad Blood" singer has already won eight Billboard Music Awards, officially kicked off her 1989 tour, and was just named No. 1 on Maxim's annual Hot 100 list. Here, we take a look at some of her sexiest hair and makeup looks that, in our opinion, contributed to her nabbing the top spot.
At this year's Billboard Music Awards, Swift gave off major Joan Jett rocker vibes with a shaggy lob, a smoky cat eye, and plush lips.
During the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Swift's brushed-out curls and soft bangs framed her face—and shimmery mauve-lined eyes—in a super-flattering way.
At an event in February, Taylor's slicked-back hair with a deep side part complemented her edgy, smudged-out shadow, matte skin, and baby-soft lips.
For the KISS FM Jingle Ball, Swift amped up her signature eye makeup with an extended cat eye, spiky lashes, and illuminator at the inner corners of the eyes to make them pop.
Swift went glam with soft, S-wave curls, bold red lips, and mile-long lashes for her performance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Q: How can I export image in Excel using Javascript? One of my requirement is I want to export image and store inside excel using javascript.
I am using export excel using saveAs(blob, filename) and I am able to export javascript data into the excel but I could not able to export image? There is no any server side.
Any body has any idea over this

A: You can use xlsx library https://www.npmjs.com/package/xlsx
$("[id$=mybutton]").click(function(e) {
   window.open('data:application/vnd.ms-excel,' + encodeURIComponent( $('div[id$=image]').html()));
    e.preventDefault();
});

Demo https://jsfiddle.net/viethien/dfb3n2x1/11

A: There is a JS library to create excel. I haven't tried it though. https://github.com/stephenliberty/excel-builder.js However, it should be fairly trivial to loop through your JSON and create a CSV file, which will ultimately open in excel. That might work better depending on your needs.
But to be clear, when you say store an image, do you mean a link to an image, or a base64 text of an image? The latter would be huge and probably break excel in some way.

PMO asks IDF to delay Hebron evacuation order
IDF had ordered Hebron settlers to leave home by 3 p.m. Tuesday; Defense Ministry sticking to original schedule.
By TOVAH LAZAROFF, JPOST.COM STAFF
Netanyahu waves 370
(photo credit: Marc Israel Sellem)
The Prime Minister's office on Monday night asked the Defense Ministry to delay Tuesday's 3 p.m. evacuation order for the West Bank Hebron apartment building, to give the 15 Jewish families there the opportunity to make their legal case heard.
The Defense Ministry, however, is holding to its original schedule.
Sources in the ministry said that the request was to allow the building's inhabitants the opportunity to present their legal arguments, and that this could be done within the evacuation order's time frame.
A source said that 3 p.m. was the deadline for the inhabitants to willingly leave, but was not necessarily the time by which the IDF would forcibly remove them.
The IDF had issued the evacuation order earlier Monday against the three story structure called "Beit HaMachpela" (House of the Patriarchs), giving the settlers there just 24 hours to leave.
A number of high-level members of Knesset condemned the order of evacuation facing settlers in the "Beit Hamachpela" (House of the Patriarchs) apartment building, labeling the move "underhanded" and "unacceptable," and calling for the the prime minister to intervene and rescind the order.
On Thursday, some 15 Jewish families from Hebron and the nearby Kiryat Arba settlement moved into the vacant three-story apartment building without the proper permits.
The Hebron families said they purchased the apartment building from its Palestinian owner and moved in at this time because the structure was vacant, and they feared Palestinians would take over the building. It is located across a small park from the Cave of the Patriarchs, in a Palestinian neighborhood under Israeli military control.
The police and the Civil Administration were investigating the legality of the sale.
The IDF, however, ordered the families out of the home because it said their presence disturbs the public order.
Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein protested the move. "It is unacceptable," he said.
MK Michael Ben Ari noted that the IDF's excuse could be used to evacuate any Judea and Samaria resident from his or her home.
Right-wing MKs, particularly from the Knesset Land of Israel lobby have called on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to revoke the IDF order.
Interior Minister Eli Yishai wrote to Netanyahu Monday afternoon asking him to intervene.
"I ask you to instruct the defense establishment to exercise discretion before any future action is taken," Yishai wrote in a letter to Netanyahu. Saying the house in question was bought at full price, Yishai said the Jewish families entered it legally.
The government, the interior minister added, should strengthen and not make life more difficult for Jewish residents of Hebron. "I ask that you personally review the facts in a fair and balanced fashion."
The head of the Council for Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip said the evacuation order amounts to a distortion of justice and discrimination.
"The request to evacuate the 'Beit Hamachpela' (House of the Patriarchs) after its purchase was reviewed and deemed sound is a total distortion of justice, and intolerable discrimination," Dani Dayan said Monday via a written statement.
"It carries the name of security in vain," he charged.
Dayan compared the situation in Hebron to that of the Migron outpost, where the High Court of Justice ordered the state to evacuate settlers living there because they were occupying land classified as belonging to private Palestinians.
"In Migron they explained to us that the right to property is sacred... but when the owners are Jews, then all of this is forgotten," Dayan said.
Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar decried the fact that the IDF decision came prior to Netanyahu's scheduled ministerial meeting, adding that "if the house was purchased legally, there is no justification for evacuating the residents."
Since Thursday, Border Police have blocked off the building and only the families who moved in, and politicians, have been allowed access.

Noun-Adjective Agreement in Spanish
Noun-adjective agreement is one of the most fundamental aspects of Spanish grammar: Adjectives must agree with the nouns they refer to in both number and gender.
Agreement: an Essential, Basic Rule of Spanish Grammar
The rule, which has no English equivalent, is that singular nouns are accompanied by singular adjectives, and plural nouns are accompanied by plural adjectives. Masculine nouns are described or limited by masculine adjectives, and feminine nouns are described or limited by feminine adjectives.
The same rule applies to definite articles (the equivalent of "the") and indefinite articles (a class of words that in English include "a," "an," and "any"), both of which sometimes are considered types of adjectivesnoun-adjective-agreement-3078114.
How To Modify Adjectives for Number and Gender
The "normal" form of adjectives, the form you will find listed in dictionaries, is singular and masculine. To make the adjective plural, follow one of these steps, which as the same as for making nouns plural:
If it ends in an unstressed vowel, add -s. Examples: verde ("green," singular), verdes ("green," plural). El árbol es verde, the tree is green. Los árboles son verdes, the trees are green.
If it ends in a z, change the z to a c and add -es. Example: feliz ("happy," singular), felices ("happy," plural). Soy feliz, I'm a happy person; somos felices, we are happy people.
If it ends in another consonant or a stressed vowel, add -es. Example: difícil ("difficult," singular), difíciles ("difficult," plural). La tarea es difícil, the task is difficult; las tareas son difíciles, the tasks are difficult.
Note that in a few cases it is necessary to add an accent mark to maintain the stress on the correct syllable or delete one when it's no longer necessary to indicate stress. For example, the plural of inglés (English) as an adjective is ingleses.
Making a masculine adjective feminine is even easier. Just follow these steps:
If the singular masculine adjective ends in an -o, change it to an -a. Example: pequeño ("small," masculine singular), pequeña ("small," feminine singular). El gato es pequeño, the cat is small; los gatos son pequeños, the cats are small; la chica es pequeña, the girl is small; las chicas son pequeñas, the girls are small.
If the singular masculine adjective ends in any other letter, the feminine form is the same. El autobús es grande, the bus is big; la casa es grande, the house is big.
Adjectives can come before or after nouns, or they can be used with verbs such as ser ("to be") to describe nouns. But (except for invariable adjectives) they will always match the nouns they describe in both number and gender.
Invariable Adjectives
There are a few adjectives, known as invariable adjectives, that don't change in form. Most of them are either uncommon colors or words of foreign origin. An example is web as in la página web (the web page) and las páginas web (the web pages). Sometimes a noun can be used as an invariable adjective, but this practice is much less common in Spanish than in English. Being Spanish students seldom will have the need to use invariable adjectives, but you should be aware that they exist so they don't confuse you when you see them.
Sample Sentences Demonstrating Noun-Adjective Agreement
Las familias felices se divierten en la playa rocosa. (The happy families are enjoying themselves on the rocky beach.) Felices is plural because familias is plural. The feminine form rocosa is used because playa is feminine. La and las are feminine definite articles.
El hombre feliz va a ascender al pico rocoso. (The happy man is going to climb to the rocky summit.) The singular feliz is used because there is only one man. The masculine rocoso is used because pico is masculine. El is a masculine definite article. Al is a contracted form of a plus el.
Ha sido un día largo entre muchas semanas largas. (It has been a long day among many long weeks.) The singular masculine largo is used with día because día is masculine and there is one of them, but the plural feminine largas is used with semanas because semana is feminine and there are more than one. Un and muchas are masculine and feminine indefinite articles, respectively.
Un taco es una preparación mexicana que en su forma estándar consiste en una tortilla que contiene algún alimento dentro. (A taco is a Mexican preparation that in its standard form consists of a tortilla the contains some food inside. Su is a determiner or possessive adjective that changes with number but not gender. Estándar is an invariable adjective - the same word would have been used with plural or masculine nouns.)
With the rare exception of invariable adjectives, adjectives must match the nouns they refer to in both number and gender.
Singular adjectives are made plural in the same way singular nouns are.
Adjectives ending on -o or -os can be made plural by changing those letters to -a or -as, respectively.

Minghui's 20th Anniversary Fa Conference
Home > News & Events > July 20 Events
California: Parade, Rally and Candlelight Vigil Held to Commemorate Practitioners Who Lost Their Lives in the Persecution
July 24, 2019 | By Minghui correspondents
(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners across the world held events such as parades, rallies and candlelight vigils to solemnly commemorate practitioners who have died as a result of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) 20-year-long persecution, which was initiated on July 20, 1999.
Minghui.org has confirmed the deaths of over four thousands of Falun Gong practitioners in the persecution over the past 20 years; the actual number is suspected to be much higher. More have been imprisoned and tortured for their faith. There is concrete evidence that the CCP sanctions the harvesting of organs from detained practitioners, who are murdered to supply the organ transplant industry.
Parade and Rally in San Francisco
Falun Gong practitioners held a parade in San Francisco on July 20, 2019. Some Chinese tourists joined the parade to support Falun Gong. The parade began at City Hall and ended at Chinatown. A rally was held after the march.
Practitioners do the exercises in front of San Francisco's City Hall on July 20, as part of the day's events. Practitioners held a parade to inform people of the on-going 20-year-long persecution.
A TeacherfromChinaJoinstheParade
Charlie, a teacher from China visiting his family in the U.S., joined the parade. He said, "I have witnessed the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. My family members practice Falun Gong and my colleague also practices."
"I know that the CCP has damaged Chinese people's traditional values. Falun Gong's principles teach people to be Truthful, Compassionate, and to have Forbearance, and they are restoring mankind's morals. I'm participating in this parade to express my admiration for Falun Gong," he explained.
Public Express Their Support
Mario Jesus and his daughter Maria
Mario Jesus and his daughter Maria from Chile were visiting San Francisco. They came across practitioners practicing the exercises in front of City Hall and paused to watch. "The music is beautiful. It makes you feel very peaceful and happy," Jesus said. "The yellow color is eye-catching, and makes me feel very happy," Maria said.
They were pleased to learn that Falun Gong practitioners follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Jesus said, "If we all maintain peaceful and kind hearts, our surroundings would become better."
About the CCP's live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, Maria said very sadly, "I'm so sad to hear that this odious thing is happening in China. I hope it will end soon."
Louis Velez
Louis Velez from Colombia works at a high-tech company in San Francisco. He knew that practitioners were being persecuted in China, and also knew about the state-sanctioned live organ harvesting from practitioners.
He said, "I'm very pleased to see Falun Gong practitioners exposing the CCP's atrocities. I think they should expose these atrocities to the entire world and let people know what's happening in China."
Louis said he admired practitioners' persistent efforts to expose the CCP's atrocities for 20 years. He said, "If we stand firm and continue to protest, I am convinced that justice will prevail over evil."

We're exhibiting at this year's West of England AHSN Conference, exploring the 'digital art of the possible'. Come meet the team and demo our 'STP ready' EPR solution - get in touch to arrange a meeting.
Director of Research and Economics at The Health Foundation Anita Charlesworth, joins Roy Lilley for the 50th Anniversary HealthChat.
Book now to avoid disappointment. Get in touch to find out how to attend HealthChats as our guest for free.
scalable EPR solution and discussing innovative financial packages.
Pop along and see us, or contact us to arrange a meeting.
Staff across Wye Valley NHS Trust's four hospitals and community facilities now have a single, shared view of their patients' records following the successful deployment of our EPR, MAXIMS.
The Trust's acute and community patient administration systems (PAS) and theatre system have been replaced, with our system which is now responsible for handling more than 2,000 patient records a day.
Using a single EPR system and accessing data in real-time will make it easier for doctors and nurses to make clinical decisions and oversee their patients' care from anywhere in the Trust. New functionality including a bespoke patient tracking tool will also help manage emergency admissions and streamline complex discharges, and an added community module is set to provide new and effective ways for district nurses to manage resources and caseload planning.
The go-live marks the initial phase of the EPR's implementation, with further phases for order communications and additional clinical functionality to be implemented during the next two years.
Howard Oddy, Director of Finance and Information said, " This is an important step forward for the Trust and one we have been planning for some time. A great deal of effort has gone into making sure the launch was successful and we look forward to reaping the benefits of the new system in the coming weeks, months and years."
Jeremy Hunt has named our customers, Wye Valley NHS Trust and Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, as 'Fast Followers' to Global Digital Exemplar (GDE) Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
Wye Valley and Blackpool will each receive a share of a £160m fund and will partner with us to accelerate progress in using digital to improve patient care across the NHS and in time, on a global stage. A total of 18 Fast Followers were named at the Health and Care Innovation Expo.
Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust was named a GDE by Government in 2016 , having deployed MAXIMS and established an effective digitisation model for the wider NHS to adopt.
How deep should SNOMED CT go?

2.6. Remote Sensing for Geothermal Exploration
Remote sensing is a series of techniques that study the Earth's surface with the help of datasets recorded from various types of sensors. These sensors can either be satellite-based, airborne or mounted on drones, where the former are more suitable for acquiring regional information and the latter for more detailed data on smaller study areas. The sensors can measure in different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum:
reflective remote sensing uses reflected sunlight in the visible to short-wave infrared region and an indication of the surface composition
emissive (or thermal) remote sensing measures thermal infrared energy emitted by the ground, and can indicate surface compositions as well as surface temperatures.
microwave remote sensing uses the reflected portion of the emitted microwave radiation and can give information on elevation, slopes and surface roughness.
LiDAR remote sensing uses the reflected laser beam from an airplane to calculate very high resolution digital surface and terrain models (several measurement spots per square meter)
The main advantage of remote sensing is that it gives fast, reproducible information for large areas. It gives a synoptic overview that is often lost when the observer is located closer to the object like during field visits. Remote sensing as such does not replace fieldwork, but is most efficiently used in early stages of the exploration process, to get a regional overview (satellite data) followed by more detailed local analysis (airborne data) and efficient fieldwork to the most striking areas (see figure below for examples of platform types). As each remote sensing technique gives information on an important parameter (such as the surface composition). Several techniques are often combined to give the full picture and make the most use of their complementary nature. Remote sensing results are also complementary to several of the geophysical techniques (e.g. resistivity imaging and MT) as remote sensing focuses on the surface information and geophysics can give information about the deeper subsurface.
Figure 39 Different platforms that can carry remote sensing devices: spaceborne (satellite), airborne (plane) and drone (from left to right).
RELEVANCE FOR AND APPLICABILITY TO INDONESIA
Remote sensing can have a big impact on streamlining efforts in geothermal exploration. Detecting geothermal hotspots from thermal infrared data shows at which areas surface manifestations occur which can be targeted for mineralogic and geochemical sampling during a field campaign. Detecting clay alteration (see figure below) from short-wave infrared data allows to track current or historic areas of hydrothermal alteration that has caused the rocks to change in composition towards more clay rich areas. The type of clay that us detected is an indicator of the alteration conditions (e.g. pH) of the fluids involved and can be used to better understand the areas of hydrothermal upflow versus outflow. However, reflective and emissive remote sensing results are disturbed by vegetation cover which is often quite substantial in Indonesian areas prospective for geothermal resources. Even though steaming grounds and other surface manifestations typically influence and reduce the vegetation density, the surface areas that are free of vegetation and show elevated temperatures and clay altered ground are rather small to be effectively detected in satellite data (pixel size typically in the range of meters to tens of meters). Airborne data, however, does not have this restriction as low flying survey planes can produce datasets with pixel sizes in the range of centimetres to a few meters. They can detect anomalous surface temperatures and altered ground in small gaps of the vegetation canopy.
RADAR and LiDAR data can both create digital terrain models that can show the surface expression of fault lines, crater rims and other geologically interesting structures, such as the outline of different volcanic rock units and lava flows. Both of these techniques are much less restricted by vegetation cover than reflective and emissive remote sensing, and are very suitable datasets for the Indonesian context. High density LiDAR surveys fire hundreds of laser pulses per square meter. While many are reflected by the canopy, some will penetrate through small gaps and reach the understory and the ground surface. As part of the LiDAR data processing, the reflected laser pulses are classified into different reflection classes which allows to filter the data by either the first return (the top of the canopy) or by the last return (the ground underneath the canopy), which allows to study the shape of the actual terrain underlying the forest canopy.

GEOCAP ACTIVITY IN THIS TOPIC
As part of GEOCAP workpackage 1.01, two train-the-trainer courses on Advanced Remote Sensing for Geothermal Exploration were given. The first edition given in November 2016 at ITB in Bandung focused on spectral and thermal satellite data processing with ASTER data, on LiDAR processing for geomorphological and structural interpretation, and on Synthetic Aperture RADAR processing for structural feature extraction. In a second course, given in July 2017 iat UGM in Yogyakarta, the material was extended with an interpretation and fieldvisit to the Dieng Plateau. This included satellite data interpretation for preparation of field checks, execution of the field checks and reporting of the results.
Figure 42 A portable infrared spectrometer for remote sensing field checking is demonstrated during the train-the-trainer course at ITB.
Additionally, GEOCAP also developed case applications of remote sensing for the Indonesian geothermal context in several other workpackages. WP 2.04 did a regional satellite remote sensing study on the geothermal Island of Flores (NTT). This study revealed potential areas of interest, one of which (Bajawa, Flores) was investigated in more detail during an campaign combining airborne LiDAR with thermal infrared mapping in June 2018. These data are part of MSc and PhD studies between UT-ITC and UGM.

As part of WP 2.08 on Governance and Rules & Regulations, GEOCAP partners ITB and UT-ITC did a remote sensing monitoring case study on the Patuha geothermal area of West Java. Land use and landcover changes were investigated with optical remote sensing, and subsidence due to the geothermal fluid extraction in the Patuha geothermal area, as well as ground water extraction in de Bandung region were investigated using interferometric synthetic aperture RADAR satellite data.

Top of the mornin' to ye...my crafty friends! I hope this day shows its beauty to you all! It sure is a beautiful morning here...nice and cool...but it's gonna heat up fast! I don't like the heat...AT ALL...but I am determined to find JOY in ALL things!!!
Did you have time to try the technique I shared yesterday? I can't wait to go out today and do some more. I'm gonna show my ten year old daughter how to do it and get her busy making some cards!
Well today I'm sharing a card that I made with the new Watercolor Wings stamp set. I really LOVE this set...I see so much potential in it!
I used the new In-Color, Watermelon Wonder to do a color wash with my Aqua Painter on a piece of 2" X 3 3/4" Whisper White cardstock. I added some dots and I stamped the sentiment with Memento Black ink and layered it on a 2 1/4" X 4" piece of Basic Black cardstock. I used the Bold Butterfly framelits to cut a solid butterfly out in Watermelon Wonder cardstock and cut the details in Basic Black. I adhered the two pieces together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and added five Basic Pearls as the body of the butterfly. The designer paper is from the In-Color Designer Series Paper Pack. I honestly wasn't sure I was going to like the new series...but when I opened it I was thrilled to see how much I really do like it! The catalog doesn't show it well...I'll take photos and share soon!
Don't forget to decorate the inside of your card. I used a 1" X 4" piece of matching designer paper layered on a 1 1/8" X 4" piece of Whisper White cardstock and then layered on a 1 1/4" X 4 " piece of Basic Black cardstock. It's really simple...but adds so much to your card!
You can also get it as a bundle with the framelits and save! The Watercolor Wings Photopolymer Bundle is item #140232 and priced at $36.50.
I hope you have enjoyed my project today and I hope you find time to create just one thing today! For me...it's such a relaxing time!
I do have to share one just more thing...I posted it on my facebook last night so some of you may have seen this already...but I just can't resist sharing!

Cabletron Will Buy Netlink, Filling Gap in Product Line
Dow Jones News Services
ROCHESTER, N.H. -- Cabletron Systems Inc. added to its growing stable of network technologies Friday when it agreed to buy privately-held Netlink Inc. for about $158 million in stock.
Netlink, of Framingham, Mass., develops products and services based on frame-relay technology, while Cabletron makes networking gear based on the asynchronous-transfer-mode, or ATM, format, as well as other products.
Both ATM and frame relay are high-speed network systems that enable network administrators to transmit voice and data transmissions at the same time. A recent Forrester Research report predicted that corporate spending on frame relay and ATM would grow from $1.2 billion this year to more than $6 billion by the year 2000.
ATM is much faster than Ethernet or Token Ring technologies for local networks, leading some experts to believe ATM will become the standard over the long haul. ATM also outpaces frame relay in wide-area networks. But the rollout of ATM has been slowed because of standards issues, infrastructure requirements and low-cost improvements in Ethernet.
In June, Cabletron agreed to acquire ZeitNet Inc., a maker of ATM products, in a deal worth about $111 million. Cabletron has made two other purchases in recent months.
Cabletron's rivals -- Cisco Systems Inc., 3Com Corp. and Bay Networks Inc. -- have grown rapidly through large acquisition sprees, but Cabletron has generally eschewed such tactics, only acquiring small companies that fill gaps in its own product lineup.
Last week, Cabletron reported better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter earnings, fueled by strong sales of high-end computer-switching devices. Cabletron has reported a number of new products and price cuts recently, and analysts are expecting further sales gains from the company's decision to sell its products through resellers.
Cabletron will exchange 2,258,975 of its shares for all of Netlink shares. Cabletron shares were changing hands at $69.125, down 75 cents, on the New York Stock Exchange in midafternoon trading.

32. Dent's Travels on RMS Mauretania
On March 18, 1933, Norma and Lester Dent took a cruise on the RMS Mauretania. Over the next ten days they visited the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, returning to New York on March 30. The ship's registry showed Dent's place of birth as "La Plata, Wisc" while Norma Dent's was listed as "Carlton, Mass. The Dents logged over 5,000 miles on their cruise.
March 18, 1933, Departure from New York Harbor
March 22, 1933, La Guaira, Venezuela
March 23, 1933, Curacao, Dutch West Indies
March 24, 1933, Cartagena, Colombia
March 25, 1933, Colon, Panama
March 28, 1933, Havana, Cuba
March 30, 1933, New York, New York
It is interesting to think about how this voyage influenced the later stories. At this time, Dent had only completed the first five adventures: The Man of Bronze, The Land of Terror, Quest of the Spider, The Polar Treasure, and Pirate of the Pacific.
The passenger list shows Dent's address as 8904-34th Avenue, Jackson Heights, New York.
RMS Mauretania went into service in 1906 as a ship in the Cunard Line. In her day, she was a queen of the ocean and was both the fastest and largest passenger ship until the completion of RMS Olympic in 1911. It should be noted that the Olympic was one of the two sister-ships of the ill-fated Titanic. During World War I, she served as troop ship after the Lusitania's sinking. After the United States entered the war, she ferried many American servicemen to Europe. Her war-time name was changed from Mauritania to HMS Tuberose. With the ending of World War I, she regained her civilian name and status, returning to passenger service in the Atlantic. Her aging equipment and the economic realities of the Great Depression saw her moving to a new venue as a cruise ship. Her last cruise was in September 1934 after which she was sold to the breakers and reduced to scrap.


831 Garvo Duck and Goose Pellets are specially formulated to meet the needs of waterfowl. Ducks and geese are often fed on layers pellets intended for chickens, but they will thrive on a diet such as Garvo 831.
These are a good sized pellet and the ducks seem to like them,.


Bless the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (R)amen.
Even those of us who consider ourselves religious must admit that some of our beliefs are probably a little far-fetched. Consider how some of these beliefs might sound to someone who had never heard of your religion before. A burning bush that speaks. A parting of the Red Sea. A virgin impregnated by God, whose child would walk on water, and later die — only to resurrect three days later.
Now, before I start getting hate mail, I would like to clarify that I believe the accounts as they are described above. But, we're accustomed to them, so they might not strike us as bizarre as say, believing that a spaghetti-related item is a holy relic.
According to an article on NJ.com, Aaron Williams – who considers himself a Pastafarian – refused to take a pasta strainer off of his head in order to take his license photo in a Dayton Motor Vehicle Commission office. His reason? As a "Pastafarian", the pasta strainer is a religious head covering.
Shouldn't Mr. Williams' right to practice his religion (no matter how obscure) be protected? Does the government recognize only certain mainstream religions? LASIS did some legal soul-searching.
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (I'm not making this up) probably officially started in 2005. Its website says that the church has "existed in secrecy for hundreds of years" so I'll let you decide for yourself.
Chances are you haven't seen a Pastafarian church across the street from a First Baptist in your town. They both, however, would have the same right to be there. According to the United States Constitution, the government cannot recognize a religion as legitimate. Or as illegitimate. The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Many countries like Argentina, England, Denmark, and Tuvalu have official state religions, while a few others officially recognize only certain religions at a constitutional level. The United States is different.
But even here, not all religions are created equal. In two basic ways, the U.S. government confers special status to some religions, and not others.
Second, the U.S. Armed Forces provides for chaplains that are on a list of pre-approved religions and Christian denominations. In 2011, a group of Secular Humanists (atheists) petitioned for their group to be recognized by the military, so they could enjoy the services of paid spiritual advisors, too.
But, even without a tax break or an Armed Forces chaplain, Pastafarians have the right to practice their religion freely. And thanks to Title III of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they may bring a claim against any institution that denies them access to public services based on their religion.
What, then, have states done to balance the need to have identifiable pictures of drivers on licenses while respecting individual citizens' rights to practice their religious beliefs by wearing head or face coverings? According to a report by the Research center at the Counsel on American-Islamic Relations, our 50 states have several different answers. By the way, this isn't just a Muslim (or Pastafarian) issue. Male Sikhs cover their heads, as do females of various sects in all three of the major monotheistic religions. And some Christian Amish groups do not allow photographs of themselves of any kind to be taken, at all.
Only four states have no law or regulations on this particular issue (Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky and New Hampshire). An overwhelming majority of states have adopted measures for accommodating those who have religious reasons for wearing head or face coverings or not being photographed, some through the passage of laws and others through agency policy. New Jersey has adopted regulations within its Motor Vehicle Commission for such cases, but pasta strainers don't make the list of accommodations.
Many "new" ethnic and religious groups in this country were scorned at first, but they have become steadily ingrained in the fabric of modern day America. Perhaps one day Mr. Williams, like his Austrian predecessor, will walk into a NJ-MVC office with his pasta strainer on, say "pasta and CHEESE" for his photo, and be accepted for the Pastafarian that he is.

Penn fencing freshman Adam Green has a point when he says, "We fencers don't have any harsher critics than ourselves."
Both Green and fellow sabre Julian Merchant traveled to Milwaukee, Wisc., this past weekend to participate in the November North American Cup where they finished 21st and 32nd, respectively, out of 210 fencers.
While most casual observers would promptly deem these finishes to be impressive, Green isn't so eager to bask in the praise.
"There's sort of a disparity between the fencing world and the regular world," Green said. "For me, top 32 is not a very good day, so don't be fooled."

Green, although only a freshman, is accustomed to this national level of competition and expects more from himself.
"I didn't fence as well as I'd have hoped. I've done like 50 of these North American Cups over the past eight years," Green said. "Some of them have been really great, and some of them leave something to be desired."
Merchant, a second team All-Ivy selection as a freshman last year, is also no stranger to strong competition, and he, like his coach, has higher goals than top 32.
"I would say that it was a pretty good weekend for both Julian and Adam," coach Andy Ma said. "They could get top eight or top 16 though, so it wasn't super. But it certainly wasn't bad."
Luckily for Penn, the NAC is strictly an individual meet, so the fencers' dissatisfying finishes did not come at the expense of their team. The meet's timing was simply a result of the individual and NCAA seasons colliding, providing Green and Merchant additional opportunities to practice their crafts.
"You do sort of have two races to run simultaneously," Green said. "This was an individual meet, but I'm still a part of Penn's team. That's the most important thing to me. Even if it doesn't go the way you want it to, putting in that little bit extra, coming out to the North American Cup, is worth it because you're practicing for the season as well."
The disparity between the fencing world and the regular world must be even greater than Green says, because between the top 32 finishes, the extra fencing, and the practice against highly touted competition, it seems like Adam Green and Julian Merchant enjoyed a pretty successful weekend.

Meghan Markle joined Prince Harry in The Hague, Netherlands, for the Invictus Games on Friday.
The sporting event for injured veterans was due to take place in 2020 but was delayed by COVID-19.
From casual jeans to red lipstick, many of Markle's looks were a return to her pre-duchess style.

With her hair down in signature waves, Markle made an entrance in an all-white Valentino outfit including a $3,500 double-breasted blazer and matching $1,540 tailored pants. While performing royal duties, she would typically opt for dresses, pencil skirts, and pantsuits with a more tailored silhouette, so this marked another style change for Markle.
Her outfit was for the reception of the Invictus Games, an annual sports competition for injured military veterans that Prince Harry founded in 2014. The event, which runs until Friday, was originally scheduled to take place in 2o2o but was postponed due to the pandemic.
Her $3,400 leather shoulder bag in white and gold was also a Valentino piece. She further accessorized the look with a $280 Sophie Lis love pendant necklace and her $5,800 Cartier French Tank watch, which she previously said she intended to pass down to her daughter.
Markle wore a more relaxed look with jeans, a tweed jacket, and sunglasses to attend the Jaguar Land Rover Driving Challenge on day one.

During day one of the games on Saturday, the Duchess of Sussex wore a pair of turned-up light blue jeans and a white T-shirt with a black $3,500 Celine jacket complete with gold buttons, according to Page Six. The duchess wore a similar outfit during her first public appearance with Prince Harry at the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto, where she opted for jeans and a white blouse.
She enhanced her latest casual outfit with Celine's $2,800 "Triomphe" bag, $945 Linda Farrow aviator sunglasses, and Chanel ballet-flat shoes, the publication added. She also wore an understated gold bangle and stud earrings.
Her return to casual wear such as jeans distinguishes her present-day style from the more formal outfits she wore to royal events.
Markle introduced Prince Harry during the opening ceremony in a smart yet daring cream-and-navy outfit and a simple Cartier necklace.

Appearing on stage to introduce her husband, Prince Harry, Markle wore a $780 cream, off-the-shoulder ruched bodysuit, designed by Khaite, which was more daring than the subtly conservative eveningwear she wore during her time as a working royal.
She wore the bodysuit with smart navy pants and a $15,200 yellow-gold Cartier "Juste Un Clou" necklace.
During her speech, Markle told attendees the games exist to honor their service to their country, family, and community. According to Sky News, she then introduced Prince Harry as "your fellow veteran."
She said: "I could not love and respect him more and I know that all of you feel the same, because he is your fellow veteran, having served two tours of duty in Afghanistan and 10 years of military service."
Returning to jeans, Markle wore heels and a cream blazer on day two of the games on Sunday.

Opting for darker jeans on day two of the games, Markle dressed up her denim with a cream belted $2,195 Brandon Maxwell jacket and $665 Manolo Blahnik BB pumps. She once again wore the Sophie Lis love pendant necklace and her Cartier watch.
Markle ended the trip in a cream long-sleeve dress with floral cutouts and bright-red lipstick.

Markle wore another Valentino number in the form of a cream long-sleeve dress that stopped above the knee. The $6,000 dress had floral cutout patterns around the chest and shoulders, which she showcased by wearing her hair to one side.
She wore brown heels and red lipstick that was reminiscent of her beauty choices from before she became a duchess. According to Page Six, Markle only wore a rep lip twice during her time as a working royal — for the premiere of Cirque du Soleil's "Totem" show in 2019, and at the 2020 Endeavour Fund Awards, which was one of her and Prince Harry's final official appearances as working royals.
