A Rutgers University-New Brunswick study sheds new light on the sensory organs the snail larvae use to feel - and perhaps even hear - whether the water is turbulent or wavy, and improve their odds of being carried to a good habitat where they can settle down as adults.
In experiments, the researchers found that the larvae experienced turbulence as rotation or tilting of the body and sensed waves as acceleration in a straight line. Both signals are detected by a statocyst - a small organ similar to the human inner ear.
As kids get ready to splash around in pools this summer, some parents may underestimate drowning risks, suggests a new national poll.
Exercise-induced obstruction of the larynx, or voice box, is often a cause of respiratory symptoms in athletes and is particularly prevalent in swimmers.
University of Tsukuba researchers developed an approach to measure the amount of active drag from the water to which swimmers are subjected.
Novel approach to studying coordinated swimming in fish reveals a surprisingly simple rule.
For years, B. Ubbo Felderhof, RWTH Aachen University, has explored the mechanisms fish and microorganisms rely on to propel themselves.
Researchers have developed the first successful 3-D computer modeling of the motions of zebrafish, which are increasingly the species of choice for biomedical research, particularly neurobehavioral studies that are critical to understanding the brain.
Most animals we study have adult-like bodies early in their development.
As panic spreads, an entire shoal (collective) of fish responds to an incoming threat in a matter of seconds, seemingly as a single body, to change course and evade a threatening predator.
Bioengineers combined live observation, mathematical insights and robots to reveal the movement of parasitic larvae that cause schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease affecting millions of people worldwide.

By Matt Hinch. If, like me, you've never listened to Agrimonia before (or at least don't remember), that should have no effect on how much you may enjoy their fourth full-length, Awaken. Everyone has to start somewhere.
If, like me, you've never listened to Agrimonia before (or at least don't remember), that should have no effect on how much you may enjoy their fourth full-length, Awaken. Everyone has to start somewhere. Agrimonia may be from Sweden but Awaken feels more like it belongs in the U.K. Most bands that came to mind while listening were of the English variety. At least the death-doom ones. I don't really listen to the Peaceville Three either but I can hear their influence. Mind you, no one is going to mistake this for Paradise Lost.
I also find that Awaken does the same things for me that Primordial does on a musical level but without the folk feel and the vocals here are far less triumphant and more dry, raspy, and demonic. It's the mix of power and melody that does it. At times they'll break you down with a powerful, hammering riff but you know it's just a matter of time before the melodies swoop in to pull the listener skyward. This may sound odd for an album such as this but it kind of makes you feel good.
The dynamics are the strongest element Agrimonia put forth. Ethereal atmosphere and those ever-present melodies compete with the coarse vocals and charged riffing with the aid of acoustic flourish. The calculated layering gives Awaken a grand, spacious feel creating an immersive experience that given the proper attention can transport the listener to better places.
They do vary the approach up though. It's not the same formula every time. “Foreshadowed” has a simpler, more ground and pound sound that comes across more “full sounding black metal” than “fast death-doom”. The title track takes things even further away from their core sound. It's basically an acoustic number with percussion and enveloping strings. Coming right after the fire of “Foreshadowed” it's a nice change of pace leading into the almost 13 minute “Withering”.
That one has atmosphere to spare. Background synths swell beneath a desolate guitar line until everybody joins in and brings the darkness with them. There are swaying riffs, straightforward drive, a menacing swiftness that sweeps you from your feet, a good pummeling, and soothing parts to ease your wounds. Speeds and moods change multiple times challenging the listener to keep up but it's a terribly engaging track that never feels forced.
Another highlight for this writer is “Sparrow”. It follows the usual path for the album moving between styles (in a broad sense) effortlessly. Bitter toned guitars slice through piano-assisted atmosphere creating that oppositional standard that dominates the album. There's an epic black metal vibe, a stomping death assault, forlorn melodies, more synths, and the chilling vocals all crashing into each other to eventually float off into the ether. As you can tell, there's a lot going on here and throughout the album.
Awaken has the ability to capture you and subject them to darkness and pain yet fill your ears with so many melodies and other such accoutrements that the darkness is transcended and lifts you up with a sense of light. Awakening you from the night so to speak.
More often than not I found myself hearing various things across the album that reminded me of Woods of Ypres. It doesn't carry the same emotional weight as Woods 5 but Awaken comes close. It is a powerful album ready and willing to dig deep and become part of you. Great albums provide an escape. Escape into this one.
"Agrimonia may be from Sweden but Awaken feels more like it belongs in the U.K."
I don't know really, but I do know it's an amazing album. The songs on Awaken are on the level with The Unknown Bury Me from their demo, and that's the highest praise I can come up with.

Rejuran Healer is an anti-aging and skin healing treatment that originates from South Korea. It contains Polynucleotide (PN). PN is an upgraded form of Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN). PDRN has already been around for a while and has been widely used as an anti-aging treatment due to its potent skin healing and skin rejuvenation properties.
Rejuran Healer is also sometimes known as 婴儿针 and Rejuran skin booster.
The procedure improves your skin health naturally by fundamentally improving physiological condition of the inner skin resulting from delivering PN directly into the inner skin layer (dermis layer).
What is Rejuran Healer Polynucleotide (PN)?
Rejuran Healer contains Polynucleotide. A Polynucleotide molecule is a biopolymer composed of 13 or more nucleotide monomers covalently bonded in a chain. It is extracted from salmon DNA fragments. Why Salmon? Salmon DNA is known to have the most compatibility with the human.
The use of PN in skin rejuvenation is mainly based on its potent wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Many studies have shown that PN stimulates wound healing and cell growth.
These molecules have been proven to stimulate long-term skin regeneration from within the inner skin layer, therefore improving skin elasticity, skin health and restores skin damage caused by harmful UV rays and ageing.
Rejuran Healer treatment involves a series of micro injections. Rejuran droplets are placed meticulously in the inner skin layer where they work best. The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes only. Patients who have had skin boosters done before are already very familiar with this treatment method.
Rejuran Healer treatment is very tolerable. Numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to minimise any discomfort. Local anaesthesia painkiller can also added to reduce discomfort further.
Rejuran Healer has already been cleared for safety and approved to be used as an anti-aging treatment. PN is very gentle to the skin. Adverse reaction to the material is rare.
Right after treatment, you will experience some needle marks, redness and bruising which will resolve very quickly.
Individuals with damaged skin related to sun, ageing or acne and acne scars will benefit greatly from this treatment.
An initial course of 3-6 treatment, 3-4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
After the intensive course of treatment, you can repeat the treatment every 4-6 months to further maintain and enhance your skin quality.
Rejuran Healer is already a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment on its own.
What are the benefits of Rejuran Healer?
Rejuran Healer is a very potent and advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that offers multiple benefits to your skin. The procedure is quick with minimal discomfort and downtime, and the result is long lasting.
How is Rejuran Healer different from Skin Boosters?
Rejuran Healer and skinboosters are both administered in a similar way. However, they are very different and they function differently.
As mentioned earlier, Rejuran Healer contains polynucleotide. It promotes collagen synthesis, skin regeneration, skin healing and repair. It is primarily an anti-ageing treatment that also helps in improving skin texture and acne scars.
On the other hand, skin booster contains hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid improves skin primarily by moisturising the skin from within. This subsequently improves the general quality and health of the skin.
It is important to note that the end point of these two treatments is the same – healthier, younger skin.
By combining Rejuran Healer and Skin booster treatment, they work very well synergistically to promote skin rejuvenation and health.
How much does Rejuran treatment cost?
Rejuran healer treatment is $588 (GST inclusive) per treatment.

Matt Woods, aka Killing Matt Woods, recently completed his first residential project in the Sydney suburb of Camperdown. The apartment, named Perfect Storm, was created for two design professionals with a “concrete bunker” theme. Woods’ love of Brutalist architecture led the design plan, along with the industrial history of the surrounding neighborhood.
Located in a converted warehouse building, the home features a scaled back, minimalist aesthetic with a muted color palette and sculptural shapes.
The apartment has an open floor plan for the main living area with the living room connected to the custom kitchen. A mezzanine bedroom overlooks the living space.
One end of the loft is floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the interior with lots of natural light which helps keep the moody space from being too dark and drab. Wood details, brass accents, and bold lighting bring an intentional mid-century feel throughout.
The ceiling’s curves soften the angular nature of the concrete surfaces. The wood floors and ribbed wooden surfaces counterbalance the coldness of the cold grey walls and ceilings.

The majority of adults in the United States have social media accounts. For years now, celebrities have interacted with their fans using social media sites. Even the pope now has a Twitter account. Social media is everywhere and pretty much everyone is using it.
So it’s not surprising that social media sites have become a prime source for lawyers to mine for evidence to support their clients’ cases. In fact, this has become a fairly common occurrence and, as a result, an increasing number of appellate cases are cropping up which address the circumstances under which lawyers may obtain access to the data contained in social media accounts. I’ve discussed a number of these cases in prior articles.
First, there was Abrams v. Pecile, 83 A.D.3d 527 (1st Dept. 2011), where the First Department refused to allow access to the plaintiff’s social networking accounts since the defendant failed to show that doing so would lead to the discovery of evidence relevant to the defense of the lawsuit.
Likewise, in Patterson v. Turner Construction Company, 2011 WL 5083155 (1st Dept. 2011), the court likened the plaintiff’s private messages on Facebook to a diary and concluded that, if relevant, they were discoverable, but limited access to the Facebook data and required that the trial court first conduct an in camera review to determine if there was evidence relevant to the lawsuit.
Most recently, this issue was presented in Kregg v. Muldonado, 98 A.D.3d 1289 (4th Dept. 2012), a case brought to my attention by the always helpful Rochester criminal defense attorney and prolific author, Gary Muldoon.
In Kregg, the defendants sought access to the social media accounts of the plaintiffs’ son, who was injured while operating a vehicle manufactured by the defendants. The plaintiffs objected to the discovery demand, asserting that the defendants’ request was a “fishing expedition,” with no factual predicate.
Thus, once again, unfettered and baseless access to a party’s social media accounts was denied, and rightfully so. Social media, while a fairly new medium of communication, should be treated no differently than any other form of communication. Granting unlimited access to all social media data is unwise and short sighted, so it is heartening to see New York judges crafting decisions in which they exhibit an understanding of the medium and issue rulings that are narrowly tailored to the specific requests at hand, allowing access only when relevancy has been established.

"best quality" goal is ill-defined. When resampling is involved, one can always trade even more CPU resources for even more precision, but it will become pointless at some point, and where does this point stand is subjective.
If the goal is to keep it audibly indistinguishable from the source, then you don't even need to use FLAC, a lossy format would suffice as well.
Perhaps it's worth adding a specific goal, for example, S/N ratio of resampling of ≥140 dB in <20kHz range.
That said, for all practical purposes, converting DSD to FLAC in foobar2000 while resampling with SoX resampler to 44100Hz should produce completely fine results, as long as there's no clipping. All other settings can be left as defaults.
Make sure to check "don't reset DSP between tracks…" if converting from a tracks view, otherwise resampling could be not gapless.
Ok, I have no idea. I just want to covert them to flac format, with correct parameters to maintain their quality.
3. Right clic and select 'Convert'.
Select "don't reset DSP between tracks…"
I would like to know how to convert SACD to FLAC, with the best quality.
From what I read in the "About" part of WavPack's website it should be a "free" and "open" format.
Maybe you can ask in the WavPack subforum to get a confirmation.
Can anyone confirm if these SACD to FLAC convertion options are good?
Then foobar's license may not meet your requirement as well.
WavPack uses the "modified" BSD license with no advertising clause, so it qualifies as fully free.
It is not as universally supported as FLAC, but is supported by foobar and would work nicely is you wanted to retain the DSD audio.
If you don't mind converting to PCM then your conversions are fine (and save more space).
Thank you for the modified BSD info.
I don't understand audio things, like DSD and PCM. I want good sound quality in flac format. I have SACD and I want it into flac format with no loss of quality.
That looks good for 5.1 surround. Have you tried playing them?
I have SACD and I want it into flac format with no loss of quality.
Quality is subjective, so there's no unambiguous, "100% mathematically correct" answer.
By the way: according to the Wikipedia SACD entry, the SACD DST format is an MPEG-4 stream; but it does not fit in the MP4 container? Or ... ?
Thank you. They can be played good.
Test compression level at full ( 8 ), there should not be much difference in encoding speed.
...That said, for all practical purposes, converting DSD to FLAC in foobar2000 while resampling with SoX resampler to 44100Hz should produce completely fine results, as long as there's no clipping. All other settings can be left as defaults.
SACD input settings PCM & 88.2 (or 176 for that matter) and then foobar2000 convert-->wav (auto), no dither and SoX resample to 44.1.
I ask because I've done option #1 with both no SoX and with SoX and they both yield 44.1 files so it seems like SoX is redundant in this case...or probably not even being used?
Basically is SoX better than the SACD input conversion...I've read that as long as the sample rate for DSD64 is a multiple of 44.1 then it should be good to go so I was planning on using option number one.
Maybe SoX resampler is not necessary if the SACD component does that with the similar precision. I can't confirm for sure if SoX is necessary here because I don't know about the resampling algorithms used in the SACD component.
And yes if your SACD component is set to already produce 44.1k data then of course no further resampling is needed because it's already 44.1. Resampling from 44.1 to 44.1 will _at best_ do nothing at all.
Actually good resamplers like SoX can resample to any rate without any sound quality problems.
Thanks for your response. So when using the SACD component, you have to select something...either 44.1, 88.2 or 176. There is no "auto" setting however from what I understand because SACD isn't PCM based there is no "normal" - it'll be re-sampled no matter what setting is chosen because you're converting a non PCM audio track to PCM. With that said I was thinking re-sampling the audio twice (SACD at a high sample rate and then SoX) would be less precise than just resampling once (SACD) since there is no way to avoid the initial SACD resample even if SoX is great.
Or do you think it possible that using a high sample rate like 176 for the "first pass" will essentially minimize the loss of fidelity, it'll be more like a "copy" than a re-sample? ...And therefore letting SoX do the "hard" math part (re-sampling to 44.1 could be a better option.
and got the error: FAIL formats: no handler for file extension 'dsf'.
Do I need to add a windows component or something?

If you are interested in a different BCSP test, we've developed flashcards for most of the BCSP Exams.
Here's a little secret about the Comprehensive Practice Examination: the CSP test is what we in the test preparation field call a content-driven test.
While some tests are looking to see what you are ABLE to learn, the purpose of the Certified Safety Professional (CSP) Examination, offered by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP), is to test your understanding of what you have already learned. The goal of the CSP test is to use a standardized testing process to create an objective assessment of a test taker's knowledge and skills.
You can succeed on the CSP test and become a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) by learning critical concepts on the test so that you are prepared for as many questions as possible.
Repetition and thorough preparation is a process that rewards those who are serious about being prepared, which means that succeeding on the CSP test is within the reach of virtually anyone interested in learning the material.
This is great news! It means that if you've been worried about your upcoming CSP test, you can rest easy IF you have a good strategy for knowing what to study and how to effectively use repetition to your advantage.
If you tried to memorize every single possible thing you can for the CSP test, the field of possible things to review would be so huge that you could not hope to cover everything in a reasonable time.
That's why we created the CSP Exam Flashcards Study System: we have taken all of the possible topics and reduced them down to the hundreds of concepts you must know and provided an easy-to-use learning method to guarantee success on the CSP test.
We wanted this system to be simple, effective, and fast so that you can succeed on your CSP test with a minimum amount of time spent preparing for it.
It's easy for a friend to help you study. They don't even have to know anything about the CSP test; if they can read, then they can quiz you with our CSP flash cards!
Now, let us explain what the CSP Exam Flashcards Study System is not. It is not a comprehensive review of your education, as there's no way we could fit that onto a single set of flashcards.
Don't get us wrong: we're not saying that memorization alone will automatically result in a passing CSP test score- you have to have the ability to apply it as well. However, without the foundation of the core concepts, you cannot possibly hope to apply the information. After all, you can't apply what you don't know.
CSP Exam Flashcards Study System is a compilation of the hundreds of critical concepts you must understand to pass the CSP test. Nothing more, nothing less.
Remember, this is just a small sampling of the topics covered in our system. Overall, you get our premium-quality flashcards covering everything you'll need to succeed on the CSP test.
CSP Practice Test Questions: Think you're ready for the CSP test? Test yourself using our practice test questions. Find out if you're prepared or if you need to head back to the flashcards for another review. Use our practice test questions to make sure that you're not caught off guard on test day!
Our CSP practice test questions give you the opportunity to test your knowledge on a set of questions. You can know everything that is going to be covered on the test and it will not do you any good on test day if you have not had a chance to practice. Repetition is a key to success and using our practice test questions allow you to reinforce your strengths and improve your weaknesses.
Detailed answer explanations are included for each question. It may sound obvious, but you have to know which questions you missed (and more importantly why you missed them) to be able to avoid making the same mistakes again when you take the real test. That's why our CSP practice test questions include answer keys with detailed answer explanations. These in-depth answer explanations will allow you to better understand any questions that were difficult for you or that you needed more help to understand.
Study Skills teaches you everything you need to know about studying, so that you can maximize the effectiveness of the time you spend in preparation and are guaranteed to get the results you deserve on test day. Study Skills is an in-depth, comprehensive study manual and is here available completely free along with your regular purchase of a copy of our CSP Exam Flashcards Study System.

Has Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them Begun Casting?
The search for Newt Scamander is underway! Those keeping up with the latest Harry Potter news know that plans are well underway to bring an adaptation of J.K. Rowling's reference guide Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them to the big screen. Filming is expected to start this summer, and it looks as though the casting process has begun.
UPDATE: SnitchSeeker is now reporting that, according to a source at Warner Bros, this casting news is a false rumor. We'll keep you posted if there are any further updates.
Acting-Auditions.org posted the casting update, which confirms that shooting for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them will take place in the U.K. and New York, starting in August 2015. Submissions for the cast are now being accepted. In order to be eligible for the cast or crew, you must have the necessary work permit documents to work in London and the U.K. Acting-Auditions provides additional details on that, as well as the address for Fiona Weir Casting, which is where hopefuls can send their headshots and resumes.
Unfortunately, no details about the roles being cast were specified, which leaves us in the dark about the characters for this film, beyond Newt Scamander. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is neither prequel nor sequel, but technically an "extension of the wizarding world," centering on magizoologist Newt Scamander, the man who -- seventy years or so before the events of the original Harry Potter series -- wrote the titular textbook, which would go on to be studied by Harry, Ron, Hermione and plenty of other students at Hogwarts.
While new details are scarce, we do know that the script is complete, or mostly finished. Back in November, it was reported that J.K. Rowling had finally finished the film's script. However, SnitchSkeeker recently ran an interview with Harry Potter graphic designers Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima, and from what they said, it sounds like the script may still be in development. "But we are hoping that we are going to be full force very soon," Lima noted in the interview.
With the casting process beginning, it sounds like production is ready to start lining up talent. As exciting as it'll be to learn who is going to star in Fantastic Beasts, the eventual casting updates will also hopefully shed further light onto the plot of this story and who's involved, in terms of characters. We know that Fantastic Beasts will be set in the 1920s, and center on Newt Scamander as he conducts the necessary magical beast research to write his textbook. J.K. Rowling revealed that the story would begin in New York, and from the sound of it, that's where Newt will remain for the duration of the (first) film.
Putting Newt in America could limit the possibility that he would come into contact with witches and wizards who are either directly or indirectly connected to the Harry Potter books. But I'm still hopeful that Dumbledore will -- at the very least -- make an appearance. The eventual headmaster of Hogwarts was alive and kicking in the 1920s. In fact, by the books' timeline, he would've been thirty-nine in 1920. So it's not out of the question that he might play a part in this new story.
It's likely just a matter of whether or not Rowling wants to delve further into Dumbledore's long history, or keep this story mostly separated from the characters we came to know and love in the Harry Potter books. Even if Rowling is open to tying Fantastic Beasts to Harry Potter through the characters, it's unlikely that many of the other older Harry Potter characters would pop up, given just how far back Fantastic Beasts is set. Dumbledore may have been around back then, but Tom Riddle, for example, wasn't born until 1926. Minerva McGonnagall was born in 1925.
Still, there are characters like Nicolas Flamel and other notable magical people referenced in Rowling's world, who might tie in to this new story in some way. We can only speculate for now, and hope that casting news will shed some light on what's in store from this highly anticipated film.
Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them is expected to arrive in theaters on November 18, 2016.

A fortnight ago, I played Ross Cowman's wonder-filled map-game Fall of Magic. In it, a group of travellers cross kingdoms and oceans to discover why magic is leaving the world. In play, our game felt like a Rankin-Bass animated film with Bright Eyes as the soundtrack. We only got 2/3rds of the way through our story of a giant, a raven martyr, a tired hero, and a kin-slayer with a hand ruined by magic.
It will probably be one of the great unfinished games in my life.
Yesterday I (re-)discovered that Jackson Tegu had written Fall of Electricity: The Return of Grunge. It uses the same moving-across-a-map technique to explore the lives of a rock band on a surreal tour through America.
Just looking at its characters and the map's finishing point, I immediately want to play it.
a format for the Kafka game I've been trying to write for years - along with a way to involve some online interaction.
Are there any games that have inspired you to start designing in a new direction?

Seemingly out of nowhere, the National Weather Service has identified the possibility of significant snow for the Twin Cities early next week. While most forecasters had previously thought a little light snow was possible, this appears to be a significant change in their thinking. Let the speculation begin.
Should Star Tribune column be updated?

Hey, easy on the personal attacks on Novak. He provides a lot of good analysis for this blog. He's not always right but nobody is.
So does this mean that our "focus on storms and we'll get nothing, ignore them and we'll get something" idea is working?
Is PD wrong or on the right track, as of now, he seems out alone on a limb, saying that we aren't going to seem much in the way of accumulation here in MSP. I've noticed his blog has become the all or nothing spectrum.
Not surprised at the change as NW flow very difficult at times for timing and exact path of snow. Sat vapor imagery right now as I stare at a 24 hour loop over the wrn US shows the situ and why models are reacting as such EXCEPT the operational GFS. It is a well south of the rest. It will be interesting to see where the sfc and mid-level lows track on Monday. The same system will be diving SE toward Georgia/Carolinas with threat of snow -- we shall see.
Extremely disappointed with the GEM solutions over the last 24 hours. To go from 16" of snow to 0 in one model run is totally uncalled for and irresponsible. I thought the GEM had it figured out with the latest model upgrade that took place a few weeks back, but I guess not.
Whenever a model suffers Schizophrenia, I tend to lose confidence in it. I'm bummed because I really started to trust GEM. Why Gem, WHY?
You know what is irresponsible,I'll tell you what is irresponsible.It is irresponsible to put out forecasts and change forecasts DRASTICALLY because of one suite of model runs,with this potential incoming system there has been too much emphasis given to models people "love",everyone gives crap to the GFS but it has handled this storm well,Paul Douglas has it figured,learn from him!I've watched the NWS go from 50% of snow,to just 20%,then snow LIKELY,to now 30% in the last 36-48 hours,just because it favors one model over another,just this morning they said the GFS was an outliner,we'll disregard it and sounded the alarm you all read this morning and now read it they are putting more emphasis on the GFS.We were over 60 hours from any flakes from POSSIBLY falling and I had to hear stuff like "alter my travel plans"(Novak) and "get ready to shovel"(Hammer) this morning,and don't tell me these were meant has a heads up,red flag kind of thing,they didn't use the words "possible","could","potential","it may" in front of their statements did they?IRRESPONSIBLE!
All this meteorologists here or pseudo-ones or presumed expert: where is your experience to provide consistency when there is not one in the models?
I've been a little surprised at the bullish forecasts from a number of meteorologists about this storm. The euro has been the most consistent with this storm keeping the heaviest snows roughly from Devils Lake, ND through Marshall, MN. I think the Twin Cities could get brushed but I wouldn't expect much.
As far as the GEM goes, I'd rate that model #4 behind the ECMWF, NAM, and GFS. Over previous winters I never trusted this model. The only time I did buy into it two storms ago, because I thought it aligned better with what was going on in the atmosphere. I was burned, I learned my lesson.
The American models have been all over with this storm, and have not shown any consistency. When in doubt, trust the ECMWF.
What I find interesting is the mixed presentation of the Strib weather page this morning. The accompanying weather video segment talked about a significant snow on Monday yet the Paul Douglas blog (updated last night) did not (the screen capture depicted in this post came from that). I think the Strib really confuses their readers sometimes, but that's another issue.
I guess some posters on this page are assuming that Hammer & myself are changing our tune. I don't believe that is the case. I don't want to speak for Hammer, but I'm still more than confident that this storm will bring much of so. MN significant snow.
My whole point with my last post is that you can't hang your hat on each model run because what model solutions like the GEM's over the last 24 hours.
I believe Randy states it best when he says "when in doubt, trust the Euro". Some of the latest model runs from the GEM & GFS have thrown some doubt into the snow scenario, but the 12z Euro paints a NW to SE swath of significant snow near or just west of the MSP metro. This solution could be totally hosed, I'm going with it.
I guess we will have to wait until we see the "whites of its eyes". Quite frankly, I don't know what 'Anonymous' & 'Weather Junkie' expect from weather forecasters. If you are going to take on the challenge of wx forecasting, you can't be afraid to go out on a limb and be wrong. If you don't, then weather would be boring as hell.
I don't want that because I enjoy Meteorology & Climatology.
I think someone on here recently said something to the effect of waiting for 36 hours or so before the storm is supposed to hit. A couple of other people ripped that poster for that comment. Well, I happen to agree with that comment! Talk to me a day or two before the storm if you want to discuss what will likely occur. Usually, any further out is just conjecture, such as the current situation where the percentages are bouncing from 20% to 50% to 60% to 20%. Good grief!
I haven't heard one mention of rain/mixed precip until I read the KSTP/Johnathan Yuhas blog tonight,were sitting here and talking about will it snow,will it not snow and boom!,he drops the snow mixed with freezing rain forecast,really?I told you PWL we should have kept it hush-hush,my head is spinning with up and down %'s,altered travel plans,untrusted GEM and the lovable Euro and now we throw rain into the mix!
Scattered rain showers mixed with snow with possible thunder,really?......did he work for accuweather before moving to Minnesota?
Well, you know what my prediction is. It is out there for everyone to see. I'm not wavering back and forth nor do I believe in doing so.
As far as anonymous is concerned, you are living in a fantasy world my friend. The truth is that people want an idea of what is going to happen well in advance. They have plans. They have the weekend to think of. They have Monday AM commute to consider. If you believe that a weather forecast is only good for 36 hours at best, then you are listening to the wrong forecasters. Perhaps you are a forecaster yourself who is scorned?
Weather forecasts need to improve and I will do whatever it takes to lead that charge. We know it is an imperfect science right now, but it doesn't hurt to take on the challenge and change the status quo that is killing our industry right now.
Walk out on a limb for God's sake.
Hey Novak, I hear you there. I don't know, but possibly what anonymous might have been trying to say is that the accuracy of forecasts 36 hours or less is much higher than beyond 36 hours, so if you want accuracy then focus on the shorter time period? I don't think anyone is advocating for there to be no forecasts made several days in advance. I know I'm sure not advocating that. Anyway, that is my two cents on how I interpreted that comment. Regardless, happy forecasting!
Not sure anyone will read this on an old thread, but I'm all for no long range forecasts. They are worthless. As someone who has to work outside in the elements, I am so sick of seeing a seven day forecast predicting NOTHING for precip and then all of a sudden we get a "significant" chance for snow. Most recently, I heard a "quiet two weeks coming" and then wham!! Big storm on the way. And then we have to listen to them talk about it for a week while it makes its way across the rest of the country. Good lord, do they ever stop talking about these "snow storms"? Nothing pisses me off more than getting my hopes up for a quiet period and then getting slammed by the "monster storm coming". If you can't see it a week ahead than don't tell me nothing's coming.
As for the Strib confusing the reader, I see that all outlets are confusing the reader/viewer/listener. I firmly believe when it comes to forecasting the "storms", they purposefully predict EVERYTHING will happen. Then at least they can say they forecasted what actually happened and some will only remember hearing one thing and that will be the actual result. In other words, there will always be some people fooled into thinking they had the forecast correct.
Too many media outlets get into a bidding war and try to one-up the others resulting in this hype-a-thon. We would be better served by one weather forecasting service with an official forecast and having the media only allowed to use that forecast instead of all the extra options muddying the waters of expectations and results. At least then there wouldn't be so much confusion over whether they "got it right" or not. There would actually be some accountability.
Hi everyone. I am new to Minnesota. Can anybody explain why Lakeville often has colder temperatures than most any other area of the Twin Cities? Is Lakeville a higher or lower elevation than the surrounding area, etc.? Thanks!
WTC on their web broadcast say "some snow this week. we will keep an eye on that" HA! I love it.
@Anon. Some "Heat Island effect"
is a partial reason for lower temps that Mpls proper. Lots of asphalt/concrete/ holding heat.
It's been a while since someone has mentioned the model trends. Am I reading the 12z GFS correctly....did it make a shift to the north on us?
Thanks guys......the operation hush-hush is working......just read NWS afternoon discussion.
TWC 8 hours later now says "Maybe as much as 6" for Monday/Tues with rain.
According to TWC (getting less silent), sounds like it could be a wet one ?
looking at forecast soundings from bufkit for both the GFS and NAM I just can't believe rain is entering into the forecast, someone needs to get their eyes checked. And the 03/0z Nam has come into better alignment with the other models as far as QPF goes.
I want to comment on the discussion that took place earlier about responsible vs irresponsible forecasting. My personal opinion is that if 5 days out a forecaster see's a major storm with a 100 miles of home he/she should start to use language like this. " A major winter storm could impact the region, please stayed tuned if you have travel plans, the track of this storm is unpredictable, but be aware, as you may have to change your plans."
To keep information tucked under the label of suit jacket is irresponsible if you ask me.
I work in the high end retail industry, I heard a few of our guest's mention that we were under a winter storm watch as they got the info off their smart phones, that system seems to be working, but it was about 2 days to late IMO.
The longer lead time the public has as to the possibilities the better off we will all be.
Novak's map at the top of this thread looks to be about right.
@ Big Daddy.....I will have my snowfall forecast out by early afternoon on Sunday March 3rd. As usual with a big snowfall event(since I have the day off) I will split the metro up into four quadrants. The east west axis will be I394 and then I94 to the WI border. The north south axis will be I 35. This is really getting interesting.
Thanks Randy........I'm getting excited because your getting interested!
MNPLOWCO...you are going to have busy week, especially with our commercial accounts.
Winter Storm Saturn is on the way or as Paul Douglas names it on his blog the "turbo-charged clipper"."Let the predictions begin!
On the positive side of all the comments -- "Saturn" is going to only help the serious drought situation in central and southern Minnesota.
Something I will reiterate is that NW flow systems are a bugger to forecast by the models thus not surprised at some jockeying by the GFS or really wildly, the Canadian GEM. The ECWMF has been fairly consistent as has, believe it or not, the US NAM. Either way a nice swath of snow across central and southern Minnesota. But, also keep eye as this storm heads ESE impacting Chicago who desperately needs more snow. Then the system moves into Ohio Valley and becomes very significant across the Eastern Seaboard from N Georgia to the Megalopolis. The storm was named due to the expected impact for so many large cities/population centers in its life.
Enjoy the snow up there in Minny!
A bit concerning if your wanting the heaviest snow in and around the metro,it was to be to the west of us,now it has shifted to on us,the concern is this shift will continue and the heaviest snow will fall in Wisconsin,that is why the NWS has not gone with a winter storm warning as of yet and flakes are suppose to fly in about 12-18 hours,don't get me wrong everyone will see snow,but it could just be an advisory event.
Was just watching TWC and their discussion of Saturn and put an graphic on the screen showing Minneapolis in the 8-12 range with 12-18 not too far behind to our northwest,that's a big change from their 2-4 from yesterday!
Ian Leonard tweeted 3-6" for the watch area. Lots of uncertainty with this. Therefore I'm issuing an official forecast of 3 to 15 inches for the Twin Cities.
LOL...that should cover all bases!
Ian had a subsequent tweet which mentioned 5-10, with 3-6 just being the first part.
NWS 6 AM Aviation Statement today.
KMSP...NOT ANTICIPATING ANY PROBLEMS TODAY WITH CEILINGS AOA 060.
CONDITIONS DEVELOPING AFTER 04/06Z AND CERTAINLY LIKELY AFTER 04/12Z.
LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW IS PROJECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE TWIN CITIES.
Interesting how the totals continue to increase. Interested in final predictions from Novak, Randy, and Hammer.
MORNING. SNOW WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
ISOLATED AMOUNTS NEAR 12 INCHES POSSIBLE BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
WILL RESULT IN SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW IN OPEN AREAS.
Just got a notification that we've been upgraded to a winter storm warning for the metro. They're predicting 6-12"!
NWS La Crosse just upgraded to a warning for their Minnesota counties.
Is anyone peeing their pants yet?
Sweet! LaCrosse has us in the 9-13 inch range!
Quietly might be the biggest storm of the year.
Happens at least once a winter.......less hyped storms turn out to be bigger ones!this is exactly what the doctor ordered to sell the last of my winter inventory......keep bringing it and keep peeing!
Funny one @DysonGuy,it was a nice chuckle,but seriously I sell snow clearing products(snowblowers,shovels,ice melt, and such)if I don't sell it I sit on it all spring and summer.
Can anyone explain why a clipper would drop so much snow? Seems very out of the ordinary.
This Clipper is slower than a normal clipper- MUCH slower. In addition to having more time to dump on us, this clipper now has the time to gather moisture from the gulf, giving it even more energy. Normanlly a clipper would come and go so fast that it would not have time to tap into the gulf or dump more than a few inches. That is what is different about this clipper.
Its not really a clipper. A clipper is really a short wave trough coming from the northwest. A short wave is just a jolt of energy in the atmosphere. This is going to be a fully developed and mature atmospheric trough that just happens to be coming from the northwest.
40s and rain in a week!
Shut up! your the same never over 10 inches Anonymous aren't you!,there will even be another dumping after this one sorry to tell you,it may hit 40 but this won't be the last snow.
My forecast and full description of what I think is happening and what will hopefully happen is up on my blog. Right now I expect 6-10" across the metro, with 8-9" at MSP. This storm will definitely be an interesting one to watch.
@Randy Hill Thanks for the specific MSP forecast. Will include that with next post about to be issued.
MARCH 21-23 STORM FROM 2008.
Its nice but I was really looking forward to the bike trails clearing up sometime this month. Oh well.

When I was 16 I got into a very deep depression. It was very bad, I was almost catatonic. So I was sent to a psychiatrist to see what was wrong with me and they realized I had bipolar disorder. Not just any bipolar, but a very severe case. Anyhow, I took anti-depressants and anti-psychotics and I got better. I almost flunked school, but everyone helped out so I could graduate and be able to move on to high school.
However, when I was 18, I got another very severe case of depression. This one was just as severe, I was flunking school, I was having panic attacks in class and I was literally losing my mind. They tried different new medicines but nothing was working, nothing they gave me managed to be working. The doctors said I was a suicide risk. So they decided to commit me into a psychiatric facility.
But that “cure” was the worst thing they could ever do. It wasn’t “cure”, it was a “nightmare”.
That facility was a complete mental asylum, on the outskirts of town. There was nothing surrounding it, like in the movies. Somewhere down the road, a place for darkness. There were no rooms for me, the building was going some constructions. Because they were no rooms, but the doctors were convinced I had to be committed, they did the worst.
They committed me with the criminally insane. The worst thing that could possibly ever happen.
I was thrown into a huge salon with 40 beds, no privacy, sharing my space with 39 people who were either drug addicts who had lost their grip and had atrophied limbs, or insane criminals who you couldn’t approach before they tried to take a bite. It was very very awful.
I cried for hours, I was so afraid. I had never cried so much in my life. It was a nightmare. The nurses were assholes, they beat up the patients if they misbehaved so I had no way to feel safe. I remember once that a patient took my toothbrush by accident, and the nurse just gabbed the toothbrush and started hitting him in the face with it.
I stayed there 2 days and a half. My parents visited me all the time it was allowed, and we mostly cried as I told them the horrors. I remember my dad coming in first the following morning after I was committed, and I just rushed to him and cried against his chest. He cried too, and my dad usually NEVER cries.
The whole experience was driving me to the edge.
The worst happened on the second night, I was going to the bathroom, and one of the patients approached me. He tried to sexually abuse of me, he dragged me against him and kissed me and touched me. But he was insane, so I managed to outsmart him and escape before it could get worse.
I crawled into my bed, surrounded by the insane, and cried again.
The next morning, my parents were allowed to visit me and I told them. My dad and mom did all the legal procedures to get me out of there as fast as they could. I was let out, but I was heavily traumatized.
After that, I started having nightmares and stuff like that.
When I was 19, the following year, I had another severe depression. I refused to go into that building away, just passing by made me have panic attacks. So I chose Electroshock Therapy instead. It was so scary, we were all very freaked out about that, but it was the only alternative for me to get better. So with all the fear ever, I started the Electroconvulsive Therapy.
It's the worst physical pain I've ever felt. I remember the crying faces of my parents as they put me into a stretcher and got me into the "operating room". They wired me up, and put me under.
I woke up feeling like an electric train had hit me at top speed. Every single part of my body hurt, every single muscle. Specially my jaw because it clenches so bad when they do the procedure. Also, since my brain was electrocuted basically, I had amnesia or confusion. It was horrible waking up like that.
My family (and sometimes my best friend) were always there when I woke up, and they would let me rest a bit after the procedure. I was so weak they had to help me stand up. They dressed me because I couldn't even put on my socks. My speech was mumbled. Anyhow, they would help me walk or carry me to the car (it's a come-and-go thing). They would drive me home and help me out. They had to feed me because I was too weak and sore sometimes to even hold a fork, and I couldn't chew very well. Then they would put me in bed so I could rest and recover, but it was a whole day of feeling so bad. I depended on them for everything.
I had 8 sessions, and each one was the same, some hurt more than others, but it still was a horrible pain.
But it did work, I started feeling better emotionally really fast after that.
However, when I was 20, I had to go through the ECT again, so that’s a total of 16 times in my life that my brain has been fried.
I’ve been committed 4 times into psychiatric hospitals ever since then. Those hospitals were good, the nurses were nice and I had my own room.
I guess I just wanted to share my story… about how strong and brave I think I’ve been.
OMG. I feel so bad for you. What I just read makes me wanna cry.
It's been super hard for me, yes. And it haunted me for a long, long time. Every single of those events left a toll. But here I am, standing tall and with a positive attitude, and a kind heart. I guess the point of this was saying that even after all that, I'm still fighting.
But thank you so much for your compassion.
I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Like a lot of things in mental health, ECT appears to have its uses but it was employed with far too much vigor. As awful as that was, I guess there's some solace that it helped and at least you weren't being treated at the time when quick and easy lobotomies were touted as the big cure all.
Thanks Trevor. To be honest, the ECT was a real pain and a very tough experience, but the time when I was in the criminal asylum tops that. Those had been the worst three days of my life.
I know exactly what it's like living with depression. I've actually been in psych wards 5 times throughout my whole life. Mainly due to my anxiety causing suicidal thoughts. I literally almost died trying to kill myself once. I have so many mental heath diagnosis it's not even funny, but I do my best. If you ever need to talk, I'm here. I too have had bad experiences with mental health hospitals too. One time, a patient made a homemade shank with a plastic spoon (the strong clear ones) and slashed my leg, so I know how bad nurses and patients can be. But, as bad as those hospitals might have been, they stopped me from ending my life. I'm glad to hear you are still fighting. Never surrender, you are strong.
I am glad you can understand how I feel. I am so happy you are, like me, fighting. Before, I used to fight just to stay alive, but now I fight to be happy. I know we can do it. I return the favor, if you ever need to talk. I'm here. Don't doubt to hit me up.
I know how it feels like living with mental illness. I've been to psych wards three times in my life... although I was younger than you guys when I first started having problems. Once for my anorexia, and the other two times for my bipolar disorder. I've had good experiences in the psych ward and I've had some really bad experiences. I know that some nurses can be real assholes... though I've never been to a facility quite like the first one you've been to. I've gotten more stable with the help of medications and therapy. I'm glad to hear that you're still here and you're still fighting.
All I can really say is that you should never give up. You're strong. Hit me up if you need to talk.
I can say the same for you Leio. Everything you said to me, I say to you.
Let's fight together, and be there for each other when we need it.
Hello kik91 and thank you for sharing you story.
I have never been in this situation other then a psychiatric exam in the ER.
I have done phlebotomy training and did the blood draws on the patients. It was very interesting. Of course we had to take precautions and leave everything with the nurses at the nurses station.
It is more interesting to me the variations of facilities from one country to the next.
You lived a real, American Horror Story, in my opinion. Yeah, it makes me sad too. You know my story, going to a clinic when I was in college. They did both electroshock therapy and lobotomies there at the time and I was afraid that someone was going to raise the bar to the next level. My parents were like yours in that after going several times, I was able to convince them to cancel my appointments. My psychiatrist was getting angry with me.
I had a psychotic break when I was in 7th grade. I lost an entire week on consciousness, with no memories. I simply came out of it and said, "Where am I?" I was home in bed.
Life is sometimes hard on us, and given this site, I think life has been hard on a lot of us. I had an experience last night while I was sleeping that was most disturbing, but that is probably for another thread or a PM.
I hope you can hang in there and things don't go backwards for you. I'm glad you and your friend have a music project. My piano practicing has helped hold me together, that and a few other things which keep me busy. Being passionate about something and staying busy can be beneficial. My therapist talked to me yesterday about confronting my grief and leaning into it a bit more, so I'm trying to do that this week. But now, the house seems different. I'll leave it at that.
Yeah, I know your story. I guess your youth wasn't as fun as mine either.
Those times in the criminal asylum were horrible, but I do remember one moment over there worth remembering. My dad visited me and we managed to find an empty auditorium, then we sat next to each other and we both broke into tears, he pulled me, his 18 year old son, into his lap and I started sucking my thumb. I fell asleep in his lap for like an hour. He rubbed my hair all the time. After spending all night crying and afraid, it was what I needed.
Electroshock Therapy is... well... it works but as I said, it is painful and messes with your memory.
I hope you can keep working on your grief, as I am with my depression. The music project is definitely helping. I started seeing a new therapist 3 weeks ago. I have a session a week.
I myself as an Autistic with Cerebral Palsy, I have had to deal with chronic Unipolar Depression for decades.
I have never been in the Nut House.
But, I have had times when I should have been in restraints to stop self-injury/self-hitting episodes.
I am "better", but still need monitoring to not be "crashing".
At least I have my little brother to keep an eye on me, since I am a Disabled Senior Citizen.
Thanks for sharing your history. I'm glad you have got through those awful experiences, but very sorry you had to go through them.
I wish you well with your journey of recovery.

These days, there are capsule toys for just about everything from cat toys to PET bottle underwear. Not that we’re complaining — there’s nothing quite as much fun as spending some yen on a gachapon machine, right? But thanks to the newest trends in capsule toys, we don’t even need to feel bad about our purchases, because some of them are down right functional!
Just take these snazzy new Street Fighter 2 smartphone stand figures, for example!
▼ You can do it, Ryu! We believe in you!
▼ Okay, come on, guys. There are two of you. How hard can this be?
Sure, you might not think you need a new smartphone stand, but as you can clearly see from these photos, you would be wrong! If nothing else, just imagine how impressed your boss will be upon seeing this Chun-Li phone stand on your desk.
▼ You’re definitely going to get a raise with this next to your phone!
There are four Street Fighter 2 phone stands, including Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Dhalsim versions, and any one of them can be yours with a bit of luck and 400 yen (about US$3.58) at your preferred gachapon hangout.
▼ …or an important text, because who makes phone calls anymore?
But before you rush out to start throwing coins at capsule machines, you should know there’s actually a fifth figure available: Guile! Though he’s not in the best shape nor will he be much help as phone stand. Instead, the fighter is actually smashed flat on the ground and doing his part to help out around the house as a coaster!
▼ …we think you’ll agree this is just about perfect!
The capsule toys will be available starting around the end of April and are being produced by Kitan Club, who are also responsible for the cat sushi figures. We’re starting to think Kitan Club is on a mission to drain every last yen from our wallets…and we’re really not mad about it at all!

Just in case you missed Fighting for the Faith yesterday, Chris Rosebrough (aka Pirate Christian) has posted his segment, “Theological Errors of the History Channel’s miniseries The Bible Part 1,” to Youtube.
Rosebrough calls the miniseries a “Purpose-drive rewrite of the Bible.” Some of the problems? The way it doesn’t address original sin properly, it’s “change the world” theology, the portrayal of Abraham and others as vision-casting leaders and more. Be sure to listen.

A GLENGORMLEY girl is hoping to bring her campaign against climate change and fossil fuels to the world stage by securing her place in the finals of Miss Earth 2017.
Arlene Trainor is one of 16 finalists who will contest the north’s regional heat of the prestigious contest later this month, which will take place at the Playhouse Theatre in Derry on Sunday, May 28.
The overall winner will represent the north in the final in October, the prestigious environmental-themed pageant which promotes environmental awareness.
Miss Earth is celebrating its 17th year of beauty and responsibility and is one of the most prestigious pageants along with Miss World and Miss Universe. It aims to expand the tired ‘beauty pageant’ theme into something more substantial and relevant to the modern world.
Arlene explained that the competition focuses on the advocacy skills of each contestant.
“I had never heard much about the event before but after seeing some information about it on Facebook, I was really interested,” she said.
“People think it is like a beauty pageant but it is not about how you look or how skinny you are.
The 20-year-old, who is a former Little Flower Girls pupil, had a keen interest in geography at school and is hoping her views on climate change can impress judges at the regional heat this month.
“I will be focusing on climate change and the effect of fossil fuels. In school, I studied geography, it was something that really intrigued me and of course is one of the big topics of world politics.
“I’ve never done anything like this before. My nerves are wrecked but I am going to take it in my stride,” she laughed.
Arlene is using her climate change ideas for the competition to support a well-known charity in the north by raising money for Derry-based group The Playtrail.
“As part of this year’s competition, I will be taking part in the Jungle NI 5K rampage on April 29 to raise money for The Playtrail in Derry,” she added.
“The Playtrail is a unique outdoor play and educational facility providing a range of OCN-accredited programmes for young adults with learning disabilities.
“I feel as if it is time to give back to people who give a lot of their time to help others and would ask everyone to support me to help raise money for the work and opportunities the charity provides.
The regional winner will receive a trip of a lifetime to the world finals of Miss Earth 2017 and the chance to represent the north on the world stage.

To help explain the absurd result of May 2, I have enlisted the aid of columnist Ethan Baron. Before I get to specifics, two things deserve special mention. First, Baron is a U.S.-born journalist who recently became a citizen after living here for 20 years. This was the first time he had cast a vote in a federal election, and maybe his last.
Pause a moment to take in the breathtaking genius of this passage. Harper’s assaults on Canadian institutions, the rule of law, and the democratic rights of Canadian citizens are public knowledge, which should have told voters that Harper is overtly subversive and a danger to Canadian sovereignty. In view of the Speaker’s finding of contempt of Parliament, Harper should even have been forced to resign his seat.
Lamentably, facts such as these did not matter come election day, nor did the idea that a political candidate had to have a modicum of intelligence to stand for office. On May 2, millions of voters looked at the “Conservative” label in their local riding, shut their brains off, internalized the negative propaganda, and cast a vote for Harper’s parrots and sockpuppets.
However, as in the U.S., party labels in Canada have long since ceased to have any useful meaning, yet “conservative” still evokes illusions of fiscal responsibility. As Baron mentioned, Harper racked up a $55.6 billion deficit in 2009-10—the highest in Canadian history. Not even the most spendthrift NDP government could have accomplished such a feat of wanton profligacy.
Baron is dead right—we did this to ourselves and did it willingly. A CTV poll even reported that 50% of respondents wanted a majority Harper government just so they wouldn’t have to vote in so many elections.
• The CBC, Canada’s public broadcaster has been a staple of Canadian identity and national unity since its creation as a Crown Corporation on Nov. 2, 1936. As a Crown Corporation the government of the day is forbidden to exercise operational control over it, yet Harper is talking about defunding it altogether. Meanwhile, a pro-Harper, Faux-News style disinformation channel (SunNews) was recently approved.
• The Charter of Rights guarantees freedom of opinion, yet the Israel-first Harper will doubtless try to criminalize dissent about Israeli war crimes and the Holocaust®. Already, scientists who warn of the dangers of man-made climate change have been muzzled.
Why so many Canadians “turned up their noses at democracy,” cannot be answered simply by reading the entrails of the May 2 vote. The answer goes back to 1980, when the radical individualism and unenlightened self-interest of “neo-conservatism” took hold as a secular religion. It began in the U.S. under the benighted corporatist presidency of Ronald Reagan, who successfully tapped into the cult of greed and visceral hatred of government that animates American individualism. Over the next four decades, public spending, civil liberties and the rule of law soon became treated as a moral evils.
• embrace militarism and xenophobia, among other things.
Yes, Canada, you elected the first de facto fascist majority government in your history, and why? You were too lazy, indifferent or ignorant to take your electoral responsibilities seriously. You have no time for politics, and want politicians to think for you.
Welcome to Canada, Ethan Baron—make yourself at home!

In the Picos de Europa, both sedentary and migratory raptors are already here. Some of them like Golden Eagles and Griffon Vultures are incubating. The ones that are just arriving from África like Egyptian Vultures, Short-Toed Eagles and Black Kites are beginning with their sexual displays and the arrangements of their nests.
All of them can bring us unforgettable birding moments, but nowadays, Lammergeiers probably are the most special. This fantastic bird (3 m wingspam) was extinct in the early last century. Now, due to the work of the Lammergeier Foundation, is returning to these mountains and it is not difficult to find them is you know where to look at.

Trade show banners are an effective means for advertising a product or business at an industry exhibit event. This marketing tool utilizes wording and graphics to attract and inform a target audience about the represented company. When designing trade show banners, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the ultimate goals to be achieved. There are many aspects that go into a highly effective display of this kind.
Trade shows are a type of event allowing companies in a specific trade or area of focus to demonstrate their products or services to those in attendance. They are an ideal venue for introducing new ideas and products, as well as to get the company name and what they stand for out in the industry. It is important to have experienced and knowledgeable staff on hand to network with potential clientele to maximize the success at each event. In addition to these employees, the display within the specified booth space can provide additional information to those passing by. Brochures, leaflets, and numerous forms of signage can be used to ensure the company will leave a lasting impression following the event.
Trade show banners are a key element in creating that lasting image in the minds of future business prospects. This form of signage can be displayed in front of the booth or across the back of the exhibit, depending on its purpose and size. They are available in all shapes and sizes and can be customized to meet the needs and goals of the company. While each sign varies from the next, they are commonly produced on a vinyl material that is durable, flexible and most importantly, cost effective. Their appearance should be simple and professional, yet eye catching and informative. The overall design, from wording and graphics to colors and fonts utilized, will be highly dependent on the target audience. The primary focus of information should be placed at or just above eye level. The wording should be kept brief and to the point as well as easy to read up close and from a distance. Any visual aspects used on this type of display should use a variety of colors. The specific hues chosen should directly reflect the intended viewer demographic. Bright shades may be used for a younger audience, whereas more subdued or neutral colors are ideal for adults as well as business professionals. The design must be consistent throughout each aspect while remaining true to the message and overall company identity. Utilizing the company logo and web address are both important for this reason. It is critical to not forget who the target audience will be and to design accordingly.
In addition to the design phase, it is important to consider the versatility of the trade show banners to be created. While they can hang directly on the exhibit booth itself, there are accessories that can be purchased as well. Specialized stands allow the sign to be adaptable to any location necessary while ensuring it will remain professional in appearance. Graphic cases are an excellent option as they will protect the banner from damage during the transporting and display phases.
When looking to add trade show banners to any marketing strategy, it is crucial to work with a knowledgeable sign company. They must specialize in this particular product and come highly recommended through past clientele. They will work alongside their customers to ensure their needs and goals are met using high quality products and materials. With the right sign company leading the way, this investment can surely pay off for years to come.

Homework may seem like the worst thing ever when you are in high school. Its educational value is debated today. However, at the moment it is still considered to be a part of the study process, so you have no choice but to complete the assignments.
Regardless of whether you write a research paper or solve several math problems, your work must never be messy. This is something that is really easy to avoid, so you definitely shouldn’t ignore this issue.
Lack of organization in essays and other papers is also considered a mess. It may not be as visible, but it will affect your final grade. You’ll need to do some research and determine what structure your assigned paper must have.
Some types of assignments, for example calculus problems, require you to take certain steps to complete. Even if you are really good with the subject and can do all the calculations in your mind, you have to write them down properly. This is necessary so that your teacher can see that you really understand the problem and use the right method to find a solution.
When you are assigned with writing a paper of some kind, your teacher should tell you the format you need to use. You’ll need to research this particular style and make sure that you understand all the requirements. If something is unclear, discuss this matter with your teacher. Formatting may seem like a little thing, but these mistakes will lower your grade even if the research itself is excellent.
If your work requires a sketch, you must do your best to create a high quality one. In case it’s completely impossible for you to accomplish, find someone who can help you. Note that a missing sketch is an even more serious mistake. Talk to your teacher if you aren’t sure whether you need to include one in this particular assignment.
Writing on the back of the paper.
The paper you hand in must look pristine. This will make a good impression on the teacher and show how serious you are about this work.
Missing dates, name, headings, etc.
Small details like this will have a negative effect on your grade. They are easy to miss so check your work very carefully before you hand it in.

A host of Kent-based online pet retail businesses boasting hand-crafted products ranging from dog coats, fleeces, jumpers, collars and fashionable bandanas are gearing up for the Christmas rush.
One such entrepreneur who has seen a huge boost in business in six years of trading and always enjoys a busy Christmas season is Debbie Humphreys of Redhound for Dogs, based in Headcorn.
With her background in wedding dress making and her own cold-hating whippet Bruno at the heart of the business, Debbie and her team make practical and stylish dog attire in their Kentish barn as well as outsourcing production to a knitting factory in Leicestershire due to an increase in demand.
The company kits out dogs (mainly hounds but terriers and dachshunds too) with Italian lamb’s wool jumpers, fleeces, snoods, coats as well as padded collars.
A wholesale supplier to pet shops and high-end pet boutiques, Debbie has also had recent success with her book Dogs in Jumpers and her knitting kits.
She explains: “The knitting kits are really popular at Christmas and I’ve got a brand-new bowtie kit coming out this festive season in red tartan, which is quite fun. It’s also fun for the dog and it’s not going to hinder them; it’s not really dressing them up, it’s just a bit of harmless fun for a day.
“The book did really well last Christmas and this year we have coasters and a notebook to accompany it and we’re also doing a Christmas gift box that will contain either a bandana or a bowtie, a scrabble letter collar tag and some treats,” she adds.
Debbie and husband David, a full-time book-keeper and who is also hands-on at Redhound (he used to do all the knitting on their original knitting machine) decided to launch the online business after returning from a stint living and working in Devon where they owned a small gift shop.
It was here Debbie first knitted and sold her dog jumpers. “I approached a knitting factory in Torquay to help me out with my designs and they produced a few jumpers for me, which again sold in the shop really quickly.
The couple relocated to Kent and launched Redhound for Dogs online in 2010. The day after launching online Debbie exhibited for the first time at the Country Living Christmas Fair and scooped the Editor’s Choice Award.
“It was a really big endorsement that we were doing something right and that there was a gap in the market for what we wanted to produce. We settled in Kent, I love it here, most of my family are here and I pretty much grew up here,” Debbie adds.
She stresses that everything she makes has to be practical, should look aesthetically pleasing and should fit properly. The coats are made for different seasons and include waterproof wax coats, quilted showerproof coats and the new quilted wax coats. Whippet-specific fleeces are her best seller.
Debbie and David’s Christmas Day celebrations invariably comprise a walk along the beach and a huddle under a picnic blanket with dogs Bruno and Frankie (their rescue Lurcher), sporting their new hand-knitted festive jumpers.
Walking on Christmas day with their pet dogs in tow is also a festive tradition enjoyed by sisters and business partners Lucy Miles-Barnes and Laura Miles of Salt Dog Studios, a bespoke collar and pet accessory business based in Whitstable.
Also inspired by their dogs to provide hand-made goods with a personal touch, the duo set up the company four years ago and run it from a studio at their mum’s house.
They produces comfortable, stylish collars which don’t try to mimic the nylon or diamanté-studded items typically found in pet shops.
The range started with collars and leads, six months later bandanas were added and within a year came harnesses and cat collars.
But there is plenty of choice for Salt Dog Studio customers who can select items to be made from a variety of more than 100 fabric designs.
A lot of their fabrics come from America and they also have a range of hypoallergenic organic hemp collars and leads, ideal for dogs with skin allergies.
The online business has found global success and closer to home people from the local area pop into the studio to have their dog personally measured up.
The cocker spaniels who continue to help motivate the sisters include eight-year-old Ebony belonging to Laura, Lucy’s five-year-old orange roan Maddie, and six-year-old Gracie, who belongs to their mum.
The sisters take the dogs with them to the studio every day and they double up as models for the products.
Every Christmas there are 10 to 12 festive designs ranging from classic holly to cartoon snowmen and gingerbread men.
Bandanas are the most popular seasonal product because they are cheaper and many people order early and put them on their dogs from 1 December. Some may order 10 at a time. A lot of people still order collars and leads.
Production is shared between the sisters, who are self taught on the sewing machine. Laura looks after the finances and technical aspects of the website, while Lucy heads up the photography and social media side.
The sisters say the best thing about working for themselves is a mixture of receiving positive feedback, having the flexibility to be able to take their pets to work and meeting nice people.
“It restores your faith in humanity a bit when you hear about all the bad things in the world and then you talk to people who love their dogs as much as you do and you think there’s some nice people in the world,” Laura says.

Mike Johnson, Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities for the University of Arkansas, was looking at an expensive fix for a lighting problem at Lot 56 on the Fayetteville campus.
The solution: Retrofitting the original high-pressure sodium fixtures with 200-watt induction lamps and ballasts.
Built in the late 1990s, Lot 56 is one of the larger surface parking lots on campus. Nearby are Bud Walton Arena, a soccer stadium, and intramural fields, making the lot a favorite for those attending or participating in sporting events, many of which take place after dark.
The lot is particularly challenging to light as the poles are spaced 200 feet apart and not spaced correctly to adequately light the lot with the original high-pressure sodium system, a form of HID (High Intensity Discharge) lighting which emits an orange cast. Adding to the problem were mature trees that were blocking some light.
The university tested a number of options, including LED lighting, before contacting Clear Energy.
Clear Energy considered LED lighting but opted for induction, as it was a better application due to the height and separation of the existing light poles.
The 200-watt induction system retrofitted on a one-for-one basis fixtures that were originally outfitted as either 400-watt or 1,000-watt high pressure sodium. Energy consumption was cut by more than 50%.
The 100,000-hour rated life for induction compares to a rated life of only 24,000 hours for high pressure sodium, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
Most existing HID heads/fixtures can be retrofitted with the induction system. This means that the heads can be reused and only the optical system replaced, providing an even greater economic benefit.
The result is a uniform blanket of white light that meets the university’s standards for parking lot lighting, as well as the IESNA standard.
