I have been so enlightened over the last few weeks, both observing you mortals and with the connection I have made with all of my friends as we gathered together. We are excited and we left this gathering with a stronger sense of commitment and understanding as well. We know that when many from far and wide gather together to share and uplift, this always brings that sense of belonging to something larger. It lifts you out of your mind and your framework to see a vision that is expanding.
If anyone from the Urantia community would like to attend the trial they are more than welcome. We have been told that the issue may not be raised at the trial, it was an issue at the last Master's hearing. We probably wouldn't be let into the courtroom unless the issue is presented. If it is brought up we may be asked to speak for our belief in the teachings to give some kind of validity to them.
The following two E-mails were sent to me from Ken McCreary and I share them with you as I know many of you will include LetaMcCreary in your prayers. Leta has shared some of her beautiful angel poems in the newsletter. May Leta's angels be hovering over Ken and Leta now comforting them with loving tenderness.
A line to bring you an update on Leta. I hope you got the last message. Anyway, she is doing better. They have now removed the tubes from her stomach and started feeing her some solid foods now that her intestinal track is working. The cancer they have discovered in her abdominal cavity is throughout the entire track. They are not sure if it is related to the original or not. As soon as we know, then we will know as to treatments available. However, the last time she had this, it was Father's love and her own will that pulled her through. That can hapen again, but we know that it is Father's will to be done not ours. Prayers do work miracles and we have seen a lot of those miracles happen in the last ten years to many people around us and in our own lives.
We know what Eric wants - some more volunteers. If you have a particular interest you would like to share, please be sure to contact Eric and give him specifics. Again if you are planning to bring somethings to share, please let Eric know a head of time. Musicians who would like to entertain us are reminded to bring their instruments including drums.
The selection from The Urantia Book this issue is unusually long. It was chosen by Willis as part of our Washingon Metro Group study session. It occurred to me that perhaps those who are new to the book and are finding it a little overwhelming (didn't we all!!!) will enjoy the rich meaning found in this simple, but profound passage.

Media stereotyping and outdated perceptions can make tech seem unsociable and difficult to young people with creative aspirations, compared to the glamour associated with the music industry or publishing.
However, the world of tech and coding has a job for everyone, especially the most creative. Here’s why.
If you want to create a whole world, you can write a novel, paint a masterpiece or code a video game – and coding could be the most practical and lucrative of those options.
Computer programming or coding is mathematical in terms of the precision required and calls on the same highly-functioning memorisation skill-set required of learning any language, but it also enables the power and creative freedom to build software or hardware from scratch – websites, apps or IT solutions for any demand.
Decide which language you want to learn based on what you want to create and then you can innovate in just about any industry, from the arts to hospitality.
Troubleshooting is an important part of many roles in tech or IT, and in a technical environment, this can require a high level of intelligence and commitment to investigation.
However, unlike in exams, in the real world you are allowed a calculator, taking painful mental arithmetic out of the equation, so to speak… To solve problems at a high level in a tech role, you need to be be able to think outside of the box and find creative solutions to obstacles for multiple key stakeholders.
For a lot of roles in tech, you will need the intelligence, confidence and vision to push your business forward with your own plans and ideas. An entrepreneurial mindset is essential to identifying new opportunities as well as flaws in software or business partnerships – creative tasks in need of bright ideas.
Working for a tech firm or software company may not satisfy your creativity as directly as supporting the arts in a creative industry, on first glance – but tech is an innately creative field, there to innovate and advance all life.
In working at a tech giant or startup, you could be part of the team creating the med-tech of the future that empowers less-abled bodies to function better, or to connect relatives in developing countries across borders for the first time through the internet or mobile data.
Tech is a practical industry – put your creativity to the test there and you could make huge change for the better.
STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) are male-dominated sectors in the western world, and mostly populated by the wealthy and white.
Fresh blood and fresh thought would empower this often homogenous area of work into new stratospheres. If creative types with diverse educations and backgrounds were to bring their unique skillsets and perspectives to the tech industry, more ideas and more avenues into the future would open up.
Whatever the reason for the skills gap, one thing is clear – it is essential that diverse individuals input into the tech of our future, so it does not become yet another exclusion zone that has not fully considered diverse needs. Whatsmore, diversity has been proven to bolster profit and growth for businesses.
There is always something to be said for widening your horizons. So, in the spirit of opening your mind and identifying opportunities, don’t ignore writing, marketing or management roles in tech businesses and you could find yourself in your dream job.

text: Important theoretical aspects of multi-robot coordination mechanisms have, to date, been largely ignored. To address part of this negligence, we focus on the problem of multi-robot task allocation. We give a formal, domain-independent, statement of the problem and show it to be an instance of another, well-studied, optimization problem. In this light, we analyze several recently proposed approaches to multi-robot task allocation, describing their fundamental characteristics in such a way that they can be objectively studied, compared, and evaluated.

Days 1-3: Finally in Iran! Let the Adventure Commence!
Finally in Iran! We arrived on Friday midnight. After passing through a long process in airport immigration (we spent three and a half hours before finally getting out of the airport), we went directly to the hotel and still started our day early as planned.
For our itinerary, we planned it out in four stages: the Nature Bridge (a.k.a. Tabi'at Bridge), the Milad Tower (or Borj-e-Milad), Sa'dabad complex and the Azadi Tower. However, the city was too busy and we managed to go to only two - the Milad Tower and Nature Bridge.
After a day in the Iranian capital, we set off in Saturday night towards Abyaneh.
It was a long road trip to Abyaneh and we ended up finally getting there at 11:30PM. The warm reception once we arrived was definitely a welcome experience after such a long time cooped up in a car. In fact, our hostess prepared a vegetable soup accompanied with a flatbread called Barbari bread which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We finally got to bed at 2AM and managed to get around 4 to 5 hours of sleep.
After breakfast, we prepared the bikes and we were out the door by 9AM. It was a great tour. We pedaled for 11kms and even went on an uphill climb starting at 2220mt reaching 2900mts. While coming down, we passed a trout farm and our guide, Yaghoob, took some fish at we barbecued them outdoors. We headed to the village and stopped by a tea house on the way.
The tea was great! Probably the best I had. The tea had a unique taste and was served with some cake and a lollipop of caramelized sugar called Nabaat (نبات ) for sweetening the tea. After the break, we ate the fish we got earlier and accompanied it with roasted potatoes.
After some great food, we went back to the house and mounted our bikes on our cars and headed for Isfahan by Sunday afternoon. I'll tell you more about our Isfahan trip in my next blog so be sure to come back!
P.S. You've probably noticed that our trip is a little different from our previous posts about the planned itinerary, this is because we are trying to make the best of our time while keeping ourselves flexible and adapt our route based on what we need. I'll give you more updates in the next few days so stay tuned!

Yesterday was my 100th day in Japan and start of the Yamasa winter term. Compared to the first day of the last semester everything was totally different. I was the new one, not able to say a simple sentence…vocabulary quiz? – What’s that?
I felt lost and lonely, at least a bit.
Yesterday I came to school and checked the lists for my name: Again F class (but one level up) and again Asada-sensei as home room teacher – nice. Together with Seki-san, Bera-san and Goiki-san – perfect. New classmates…one of them Olaf (I know from our trip to a Japanese garden in November and he lives close-by in one of the „villas“) – what a pleasent suprise. All in all I started with a good mood and very realxed into the new term.
Sure, some of the old classmates aren’t in the same class, again…but you see them in school or meet them at the supermarkt and smile at each other or shout a „ohaiyou gozaimasu“ from afar…I feel at home!
Hm, what could it be? A very nice bag, indeed. But what about all that Mickey Mouse decoration???
Have a peek inside: A Minnie Mouse file folder (filled with disney stickers), a piece of paper and a mysterious black box.
Let’s be honest. – some of you would kill for only the bag or the box!
As you can see it’s a golden DM004SH, which means it’s a Sharp.
there a different options for the external display, but I prefer a simple clock. When I receive for example a message by Anna it starts to blink in red and green and shows Anna’s name on the display.
And of course a little Mickey head on the battery cover.
Here you can see one of those ridiculous and kitschy samurai daily soaps *lol* I love to say this: Yes, Japan is everything you imagine it to be!
Yeah, I love my new cell phone (keitai denwa or short keitai) and being here in Japan. Who wants to come, too?
Have you read 6 out of 100?
manöööö, warum gibt es so etwas nicht bei uns. ein bisschen mehr kreativität von der einen oder anderen firma ist doch nicht zu viel verlangt, oder?
Aber es freut mich, dass dein neues Semester (?) doch so positiv für dich gestartet ist!
Ich will auch. *neid* iwann muss ich mal nach Japan, ich kann’s kaum glauben, was es da alles an Zeugs gibt. Das Handy ist echt cool.
Bei meinem ersten Gang in den 100 Yen shop bin ich nicht mehr aus dem Staunen rausgekommen!
Und mal schauen was das Semester bringt. ich möchte noch so viel besser werden. Aber die Klasse scheint gut zu sein. Und wenn die Atmosphäre gut ist, lernt es sich viel leichter!
@Everl: Jetzt erst mal ein Augenzwinkern und ihr seid da!!! *lach* und ich freu mich schon soooooo!
*LOL* was es alles gibt XDD Kannst du das Handy auch mitnehmen??
@Moni: Ich bin seit gigantischen 102 Tagen hier (seit 4. Oktober 2009) und bleibe bis Ende Juni, also insgesamt 9 Monate.
Ist es in Japan nicht blasphemisch, eine Disney-Handy zu haben?!
Gibt es keine Sailor Moon Telefone oder gar ein Nadia – Handy?

Annie Laura Hunsaker was somebody's mother and she died the same year TempeHiker was born.
We tried to get the time of our visit, but a sun dial needs sun in order to work.
We left Mesa Cemetery and headed for downtown.

The dinner was hosted by the UAE Ambassador of Norway, His Excellency Jens Eikaas and Sebastian Myhre, a famous Norwegian chef known for his skill with seafood and from popular cookery shows in Norway.
Over the course of 45 minutes, Sebastian Myhre demonstrated crucial seafood and fish preparation processes such as quick filleting techniques and low temperature preparation through five different dishes which were then served to the group. Particular delicacies which punctuated the evening included Norwegian Salmon, Norwegian Salmon Trout, Norwegian seasonal Cod “Skrei”, Norwegian King Crab, Norwegian Scallops Norwegian Blue mussels and Norwegian Cold Water Prawns.
“The cold waters of Norway provide excellent conditions for some of the freshest seafood and fish to thrive and the Norwegian people have a heritage tied to the sea which goes back thousands of years. This combination ensures we export the finest fish and seafood all year round,” commented Sebastian Myhre.
“Through hosting special dining events where key individuals from the catering and hospitality industry can see the varieties of preparation and ask questions directly to a chef who has worked and trained with this produce for 14 years – we hope to stimulate an increased demand in Norwegian seafood and raise awareness of why Norway has the reputation of serving the best seafood in the world.” He continued.

It’s May 12th and we are on our way to Bologna, Italy by car from Croatia. It’s a symphony of red poppies as they are blooming everywhere along the roadside in our new hometown of Pula. I’ve never seen red poppies blooming outside of photographs, and the landscape doesn’t seem quite real dotted with these red circular flowers growing in the wild.
The barren twisted brown grapevines that we passed just a few weeks ago are now bursting with leaves and reaching for the skies.
They naturally know the right direction, and as we head off to Italy, I wonder, do we? Why are we leaving one beautiful place for another?
And it truly is a beautiful sight as we pass through the rugged Croatian countryside on the way to Italy. You pass through olive orchards full of trees with gnarled branches of sage and silver leaves. The fertile ground that they are planted in is full of white stones covered with the ubiquitous rusty red soil of Istria.
The dirt here seems to be filled with nature’s own Miracle-Gro as the plants here don’t just seem to bloom, they seem to burst forth with colorful flowers and bright green leaves at a rate which I have never seen.
Little circular stone houses can be seen from the highway sitting to the side of vineyard and olive groves. The unique huts, known as “kažuni,” were traditionally used as shelters for farmers and shepherds as they worked the land. The huts gave them respite from the weather as they worked the land. Their geometric shapes give a semi-primitive and uniform aspect to land, which also has stone walls blocking off farms and tracts of land. Farmers had to clear the rocky land from stones and in doing so built fences and kažuni from the cleared stones.
Why are we leaving one beautiful place for another?
As you drive down the highway throughout the Istrian peninsula in Croatia, you can see medieval villages on hills in the distance with their pointed bell towers and red terra-cotta roofed homes circling the hilly countryside. They all seem to bear a striking resemblance to one another and again, the uniformity gives the landscape a calm, peaceful feel. Historically the villages were built on hills with protective stone walls to keep out invaders, but now they just add to the beauty of this rugged, hilly terrain.
We travel for about an hour or so until we come up to the border crossing for Slovenia, as you have to pass through a small portion of Slovenia to get to Italy from Croatia. Cars are lined up for at least a mile already, and one car has overheated during its wait. Its distraught occupants are all crowded around the hood like surgeons around an operating table. Their journey has been temporarily halted, like many of ours in life. It’s a minor aggravation that will hopefully push them forward and make them appreciate their journey more once it has resumed.
Onward we travel, through the Italian countryside which provides a contrast to the Croatian one. The trees turn tall and pointy, or short and spherical, the soil changes to a light brown color, and the grassy fields become more manicured. Still you can watch miles and miles of incredibly beautiful vineyards and olive orchards, although they are on much larger plots of land. In fact, I start to spy more and more tractors, which aren’t a common sight on the Croatian landscape, and more luxurious villas as we move closer to Venice. It’s trading one type of scenery for another, both of which are lovely in their own way.
As we journey onward, I reflect back on the beauty of Southern Louisiana with its cypress-kneed swamps, bright fuchsia azaleas and mossy oak trees, and of my friends and family there who are gathering eating spicy crawfish and drinking cold beer that I have traded temporarily for fresh olive oil, whole grilled sea bass, wild asparagus with Istrian wine. Both are delicious and exotic and yet are so different.
Why do we search for places that are beautiful and different from our own? What is this wanderlust that is so strong in some people’s natures and not others? As I travel onward to Bologna, I only know one thing: The journey is breathtaking, but what I leave behind is equally so.
And yet… this wanderlust I feel is stronger and it carries me forward like the tide….. I will continue to move with it until I can no longer.

Knowing the words that are in jarr doesn’t have to be such a “drag” if you pay attention to the words I’m saying!
Welcome to the end, that is, the end of our Arabic grammar series based on al-Ajurroomiyyah (but don’t worry, I’ve got of plenty of other stuff planned out to write on). We’ve looked at all the situations that a noun can be in raf’ or nasb. Today, we’ll look at when it can be in jarr and we’ll get it all done in one final segment إن شاء الله.
By the way, the word جَرّ means “to drag something”, which makes sense because kasrah is written using a dragging stroke below the letter.
Yes, even actions need good company now and then!
An extra addition to the sentence – It’s not an essential component of the sentence like the doer of a verbal sentence or the mubtada’ or khabar of a nominal sentence.
Sometimes you just need to know why!
The vocative is 5 kinds, the مُفْرَدُ عَلَم (single word that is a proper name), the intended indefinite noun, the unintended indefinite noun, the mudhaaf, and الشَبِيْهُ بِالْمُضاف (what resembles a mudhaaf).
We can say no using لا, but it doesn’t always work the same way!
Today we’re looking at the 8th of the 15 types of nouns in نَصْب, which is اسْمُ لا (the noun that is negated by لا). There are several scenarios here, so you’ll have to pay attention to this one!
Know that لا nasb-izes indefinite nouns without tanwin if it is immediately before the indefinite noun and is not repeated, as in لا رَجُلَ فِي الدّارِ (“there is no man in the house”).
Today we’re going to do the 7th of the 15 types of nouns in نَصْب, which is الاسْتِثْناء (the exception).
الاسْتِثْناء (the exception) means إخراج (“to take something out”) and in grammar it mean to take something out (using إلا or another tool) that would otherwise have been part of what’s before the tool.
Note: I’m using the word “tool” here because not all of these eight are actually “particles” (حُرُوْف). As you’ll see later, some of them are actually nouns, so we can refer to this mixed bag of nouns and particles as أدَوات (instruments/tools).
An example to consider: نَجَحَ التّلامِيْذُ إلاّ عَامِراً (“The students passed except Amir”). You used إلاّ (“except”) to remove one of the students (Amir), and if you hadn’t made this exception, Amir would have been included in the students who succeeded.

The word Christian is only used three times in the Bible. The word Christian means Christ-like. They were first called Christians at Antioch. The disciples were not given this name by themselves, but by their enemies. Their enemies observed some things in their lives that identified them to be like Jesus Christ. We should never call ourselves Christians, but it should be something other people call us. When we tell people we belong to Christ, the good old Bible word "saved" will work best. A person can be saved and not be a Christian. When we drift and backslide, we are still saved, but not Christ-like.
So, what are some things that must be evident in our life to classify us as a Christian? Love for the brethren is the mark of a true Christian. Love does not mean we compromise or condone sin, but we do love each other in the Lord's Church.
Humility is another trait of a Christian. Christ humbled himself and was obedient unto death. Servanthood is a Christ-like characteristic. The Bible says Christ took upon himself the form of a servant. A servant is not in the limelight, but content being behind the scenes. A love for purity and holiness. Do you love godly things or do you have one foot in the church and one foot in the world. How long will you have two opinions. We cannot serve two masters. Christ gave to others when he himself was in need. Christ was hated by the religious world. If you stand for the true doctrines of the Bible you will be hated like Christ. I do not know why we think we will be loved by all men when our blessed Lord was hated.
The last Christ-like trait I will write about is lack of vengeance. When He was oppressed and afflicted yet He opened not His mouth. When Christ was hanging on the cross, He said Father, forgive them. He could have killed them and put them in hell.
Saved person, are you a Christian?

If you are looking for the list of best kayak hats, this one definitely should be on your consideration.
This particular package includes a boonie hat cap as well as a complementary cable tie, so that you can secure the hat to your head even in strong wind conditions.
Additionally, this head wear which spans 7.5 inches in inner diameter and 13.5 inches in outer diameter is lightweight and foldable, allowing you to conveniently carry it wherever you go.
The Bluecell head wear also features a snap button design, with 4 ventilation holes to improve breathability and reduce moisture.
This attractive hat comes in black, olive drab, desert digital, multi cam, multi cam khaki, multi cam green, German flecktarn, woodland digital, subdued urban digital and woodland camouflage BDU.
As you know, fishing is an activity where you spend the entire time in the sun and the rain. You do not want to spend your hard-earned pennies in purchasing a fishing cap that will lose its color after using it a few times.
People have different head sizes and shapes. Thankfully, manufacturers have come up with different fishing hats to fit various people. The hats range from small, medium to large sizes. Small sizes are available in measurements of 6 5/8, 6 3/4 and 6 7/8 inches. Medium sizes are available in 7 and 7 1/8 inches and large range from 7 1/4 to 7 3/8.
This makes it easy for kids and adults to get a perfect hat that will fit comfortably. Normally, hats designed for women are sized by their direct measurements. This implies that a 20-inch female head will fit a 22 size hat. For the men, the hat size is determined by the diameter of the head contrary to the circumference.
Imagine a strong wind blowing your fishing cap away while you are in the middle of fishing? You do not want to have such an experience. With a hat designed with an adjustable strap, you are able to keep it on your head even when there is strong wind.
Additionally, you do not want to spend the entire time trying to adjust your hat while you are fishing in order to keep it secure on your head. Fishing hats with leather straps are highly recommended because they are durable and very comfortable. Beside an awesome fishing sun-glass can give you an awesome look as well.
Comfort is an important thing when you are selecting the right fishing hat. You should select a hat that will protect your head when it is raining without compromising the flow of air to your heat so that you do not experience too much heat.
Fishing hats that are not waterproof pose a big challenge during rainy seasons. This means your head will be wet if the hat material is not waterproof. A waterproof hat ensures that you are kept dry from the falling rain at the same time maintaining desirable temperatures to prevent overheating.
On a sunny day, you will experience a lot of heat and sweating. It is important to ensure that the hat you are selecting has perfect ventilations to provide your head with cool air. For instance, the Columbia Men’s Schooner Bank Cachalot III Hat, which is featured in our review, is designed with four ventilation holes, which allow free flow of air hence keeping you cool.
As you can see from the review above, fish hat shopping is not as simple as it once seemed. The best fishing hat models listed above are exceptionally comfortable to wear, and provide a secure fit while ensuring that you experience maximum shade even in the blazing sun.
So don’t wait any longer; grab a couple of bucks and make your fishing cap purchase right now!
Thanks to the increase in health awareness of the fishermen. Everyone should take a hat on each fishing trip. 9 number hat is my favorite. Thanks again for sharing this hat with special informative content.
I need a fishing cap which is comfortable, convenient and durable. I would like to keep this one for my next generation. Here I saw some good collections that I liked.
It is good to see some exceptional hat pictures. Three numbers “Rapiddominance Boonies” hat is very beautiful. I am looking for one like this.
Another good outdoor hats I found is from roadeavour. You might want to check it out.

PIONEER, La. – For the past two weeks, Soldiers with the Louisiana National Guard’s 921st Engineer Company, 528th Engineer Battalion, 225th Engineer Brigade have been conducting their annual training with a special project just down the road from their armory.
The troops, from a detachment in Oak Grove, are assisting the nearby village of Pioneer by tearing down a dilapidated school that has become an eyesore to the community.
Pioneer High School, which was constructed in the 1930s and closed in 1979 has been vacant and deteriorating for decades.
“It’s a relic of the past and we just want to wipe this one out and remember what it looked like years ago,” said Mack Albritton, the last principal at the school.
In addition to helping the community, the project also helps the unit increase their readiness and capabilities.
After demolishing the structures, the Soldiers hauled off more than 175 dump-truck loads of debris, which the parish will use as fill on other projects.
Mayor Sonia Reiter says the town wouldn’t be able to get the job done without the assistance of the Louisiana National Guard.
The village has no set plans for the site once it is cleared, but Reiter says she wants to create a monument on the site so people can remember what the school looked like in its prime.

Fact: Horses aren’t native to the Americas, they were brought to the Americas from Spain.
Genus : A class or group with common attributes. In biology, this refers to a taxonomic category ranking used in biological classification that is below a family and above a species level, and includes group(s) of species that are structurally similar or phylogenetically related.
Phylogeny: the evolutionary development and history of a species or higher taxonomic grouping of organisms.
Pleistocene Era: geological epoch that lasted from about 2.5 million years ago to 12,000 years ago.
Megaherbivores: Relatively large animals of a particular place or time period.
De-extinction, Resurrection Biology, or Species Revivalism is the process of creating an organism, which is either a member of, or resembles an extinct species using cloning techniques.
Rewilding: Restoring an area of land to its natural uncultivated state with the reintroduction of a species of wild animal, or its close relative or proxy, that has been driven out or become extinct.
By Martin’s definition, Rewilding means to restore an area of land to its natural uncultivated state with the reintroduction of a species of wild animal, or its close relative or proxy, that has been driven out or become extinct. This Rewilding experiment of the horses by the Spanish has been sucessful by most accounts. And, I submit that we can find sucess in rewilding more species than just horses.
Unlike de-extinction, rewilding does not require biotechnological advances— like cloning— to bring animals species back from the dead. But it does require a significant shift in pre-existing “conservational paradigms” that allow for a more practical eco-restorative approach that involves the reintroduction of currently existing, often endangered, phylogenetically similar animals to serve as proxies for eco-restoration for animals that were lost in the Pleistocene Era.
The “Jurrassic Park” romance of bringing back Woolly Mammoths, I think for now, will have to wait because Rewilding is a lower-hanging fruit that can be accomplished today. And let’s be honest, we need something sooner rather than later.
Rewilding returns ecological equivalents of extinct native animals— ecological proxies— and allowing them to practice natural behaviors In this manner, restoring ecological integrity by taking advantage of the regulatory roles of large herbivores in reestablishing ecological balance, and increasing wilderness areas while improving the soil health. This is of paramount importance as land worldwide continues to degrade, and biodiversity continues to be threatened—both at an increasing rate.
According to Martin, in the last 50,000 years alone (or what paleontologists refer to as “near time”), the world lost half of its 200 genera of large animals weighing over 100 pounds. Not species, genera. North America alone is missing more than forty species of large animals in this frame of time and in fact, through the use of fossil records and radiocarbon dating, scientists have discovered that the mean body mass of North America rivaled that of the African Savannah.
The Americas are a Ghost Town. They aren’t even a shadow of the robust, productive, biological systems that they once had been, and the only time we are really reminded of what it was like is when we take a trip to the La Brea Tarpits and see fossils and remnants. The question is, can a Pleistocene vision of the past give us a clear and concise vision for the future?
My answer is that nothing gives us the vision and direction for future conservation efforts like it.
I believe this is the missing piece to the eco-restoration and conservation puzzle that is conspicuously missing: the linear perspective of how we got into the current mess we are in today. How can anyone solve the ecological equation without the linear framework? Let me rephrase: if there were significantly more animals and more biodiversity in the Americas when the ecosystem was functioning properly, how can it be logically justified to remove more animals and reduce biodiversity to restore that system? It’s downright preposterous.
Without acknowledging ecological history, we are relegated to proposing hypothetical possibilities, and resource and time-intensive technological advances as a solution to the ecological crises while effectively ignoring hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary R&D. It makes no sense. Rewilding does. Rewilding respects the historical context, evolutionary R&D, and the historical basis and linear equation of ecorestoration. Even if it didn’t work, at least it’s a logical direction/answer to reverse the current ecological/biodiversity crisis.
But first, what animals should be considered in this Rewilding experiment?
If we are seeking to create a truly natural assemblage of American fauna, we have to look at fossil records prior to 13,000 years ago when humans first appeared and caused ecosystem disruption, and we have to look at the Pleistocene Era. During the Pleistocene, the most common fossils include those of the bovids, equids, and camelids. Accordingly, these would likely be among the most important groups to consider for rewilding and restoration.
A highly suitable and native bovid, the bison, and non-native cattle proxies are already here. Unfortunately, many of these migratory herd species do not cluster and exhibit natural behavior in the absence of predator species. But as Savory’s Holistic Management program becomes increasingly popular, my hope is that more ranchers will employ bison in their Holistic Management programs as well, and bunch, herd, and move the animals in a manner that enables them to benefit the soils much in the same way that many Holistically Managed cattle are.
The equid species are currently represented by wild horses and burros, however, it may benefit us to consider other equid species as well, like zebras. Equids coevolved with plants and other North American animals for 50 million years. Interestingly enough, the soil health and vegetation of the Grand Canyon National Park suffered tremendously after the burros were removed and many conservationists found it difficult to explain why the land continued to become more desertified. Here’s an idea Grand Canyon National Park Committee: put the burros back, maybe add some camels, too.
Domestic camels and llamas would be fairly close surrogates for the extinct camelids. But the idea of wild or feral camels roaming across the arid Southwest seems unfathomable to most. Unfathomable or not, we may want to seriously consider it.
Some specific species, like the megaherbivores, would have exerted some of the greatest influence on the environment; largely due to their size, diets, and migrational patterns. Imagine Asian Elephants roaming in the middle of Kansas. But the concept of rewilding isn’t exclusive to megaherbivores, it aims at filling ecological voids of other lost species, including American cheetahs, camels, lions, and mammoths, and others, and selecting appropriate proxies or ecological surrogate species for them.
21st Century Conservation: The Doom and Gloom Scenario is Disempowering.
We all know that we are entering the 6th mass extinction, and while that should keep us up at night, we don’t need fear mongering, we need something actionable. Pleistocene Rewilding, I believe, is our answer.
Pleistocene rewilding would involve a series of carefully managed ecosystem manipulations that utilize closely related species as proxies for extinct mammals, changing the underlying premise of conservation biology from simply managing endangered species and resting land to proactively restoring natural processes and reviving ecosystems. Rewilding can begin immediately, and is ecologically, evolutionarily, ethically, and even economically justified.
More than half the world’s arable land is moderately or severely degraded according to a report published by the Econmics of Land Degradation Initiative. This land degradation is also estimated to cost the world as much as 10.6 trillion dollars every year, which is equivalent to 17% of the global GDP. Effective land management is critical to alleviating poverty and ensuring food security. We are losing valuable ecosystem services such as water filtration, topsoil loss prevention, nutrient cycling, and the ability to grow food. The lowest hanging fruit that offers the greatest promise is focusing our attention to Rewilding.
Having some megafauna proxies the Americas may make some uneasy, but there’s something else that should trump that uneasiness— and that’s extinction, famine, climate changes, completely wrecked and unproductive ecosystems that lead to a loss of economic vitality and food security.
Africa’s large animals are endangered, caught between a world where wars are being waged over scarce resources and their hides and tusks offer economic incentives to poachers. If history tells us anything, and if we read the writing on the wall, we will drive them until extinction unless we embrace a bit of forward— and backward— thinking. Rewilding offers an incredible plan for preserving endangered global megafauna, restoring evolutionary and ecological potential, and offers a much more varied “systems-thinking” template to restoring ecosystems.
And since we were likely involved in the Late Pleistocene extinctions, perhaps it is even our ethical duty to redress these problems, and leave no stone unturned until we’ve got a viable, logical solution. I think Rewilding is a great start.

Never mind the risk of total devastation due to Super Storm Sandy or postponed opening day while officials tested the waters for bacteria, the bay scallop season has officially started! I can already hear the familiar sizzle of the first scallop hitting the pan and taste the delicate and sweet-as-candy excitement on my tongue.
Over the years, I've tried dozens of recipes with some of my favorite ingredients – garlic, shallots, tomatoes, heavy cream, saffron, orange, panko, Pernod, white wine, and tarragon. But, when it comes to the first of the season bivalves, I like to keep it really simple: scallops, butter, salt, pepper and a spritz of lemon.
I’ve got a pound of just delivered Nantucket Bay scallops in my refrigerator at my apartment in New York and the anticipation is killing me.

Mom's homemade toffee was always a special treat for Mark Graves growing up in his family home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In 2006, after years of perfecting her secret family recipe, Mark's mother, Karen Graves, decided to turn her favorite hobby into her own home-based business.
That year, Chapel Hill Toffee made its retail debut at A Southern Season, a specialty foods market in the heart of Chapel Hill. In 2008, Mark decided to join his mother in the kitchen and help her take her small business to the next level. Four years later, after marrying a fellow Chapel Hill native, Mark brought his wife, Christy Graves, on board as the newest member of the family business. While Chapel Hill Toffee has quickly expanded to over 400 retail locations with an online store that ships to customers all over the country, our toffee is still lovingly handcrafted in the place where it all began, "The Southern Part of Heaven".
What sets you apart from other businesses in the same category? Why should locals choose your business over your competitors?
We are a local family with our roots planted in Chapel Hill, NC. My mother in law, my husband, and myself still make the toffee by hand and run our company together, just our family! My MIL's pecan and dark chocolate secret recipe is truly addictive!! My husband, Mark, and I are raising the next generation of candy makers! Our son, Griffin was born in June of 2015!
Is there any other information you'd like the readers to know?

THE WWE SLAMMY AWARDS 2010!
David Arquette + Nexus leader Wade Barrett: Ring announcer Jason Roberts introduced the first Slammy presenter, former WCW World Heavyweight champion, David Arquette, whose appearance went over worse than Dennis Miller. He was there to present the awards for Shocker of the Year! The nominees were; 1) The Miz cashes in Money in the Bank, 2) The Nexus debuts and destroys the RAW set, 3) Paul Bearer turns on the Undertaker, 4) Randy Orton punt kicks Chris Jericho…… The award goes to, the debut of Nexus! Wade Barrett came out to accept the award on behalf of the Nexus. Barrett said the Nexus wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for him winning NXT season 1 and bringing the rest of them to RAW with him. Barrett said he was the only one who has the power to rehire John Cena. Barrett said the rest of Nexus have informed him that if he fails to rehire Cena tonight then he will be kicked out of the group – the group which he created. Barrett said he hasn’t made a decision yet but will make up his mind by the end of the night. Barrett promised that he would be creating more shocking moments in the near future in the WWE. An email came in from the Anonymous General Manager, and it was read by Michael “AND I QUOTE” Cole.. The G.M. booked Barrett in a match against SmackDown!’s Big Show – right now! Big Show came out and grabbed Barrett’s Slammy award and lured him to the ring with it.
Kelly Kelly & Tyson Kidd (w/Jackson Andrews) + C.M. Punk: Kelly read a bunch of big words off the script. Tyson Kidd introduced his new bodyguard, Jackson Andrews. Tyson then made fun of Kelly’s lack of intelligence. Kelly congratulated Tyson on talking more tonight than his entire WWE career. The nominees were; 1) Drew McIntyre‘s treatment of Theodore Long, 2) Kane burying the Undertaker Alive, 3) Mr. McMahon screws Bret again, 4) C.M. Punk spoils Rey Mysterio’s daughter’s birthday… The award goes to, C.M. Punk! Wow that would have been my last choice. I think Rey’s daughter should get the award for being such a good little actress. Punk hugged Michael Cole and celebrated. Punk said this proves that if you work hard and believe in yourself, you can make all your dreams come true. Punk explained that he did what he did to Rey Mysterio because he wronged him. Punk said backstage there is another individual who has wronged him, and wanted him to know that some day he will get his revenge (he’s most likely talking about Daniel Bryan). Punk said if you think what he did to Rey was despicable, then you haven’t seen anything yet!
Kofi Kingston & Daniel Bryan w/The Bella Twins defeated Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) & Ted DiBiase Jr. (w/Maryse Ouellet): How many times have Ted Jr. and Maryse broken up only to show up a week later arm-in-arm?
Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov + Pee Wee Herman (via sattelite): Santonio jokingly remembered the time Vladimir Kozlov was humiliated by the cast of McGruber. Kozlov implied that he would crush Santino if he announced McGruber the winners of the award. Santino apologized and kissed Kozlov. The nominees were; 1) Mike Tyson knocking out Chris Jericho, 2) Pee Wee Herman punks out the Miz, 3) Wayne Brady gets RKO’d by Randy Orton, 4) William Shatner singing WWE Superstar Entrance themes…. And the award goes to PEE WEE HERMAN! They showed a video of Pee Wee Herman accepting his Slammy Award.
The Nexus (Wade Barrett & David Otunga & Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel & Husky Harris & Michael McGillicutty): The rest of Nexus wanted to know what Wade Barrett’s decision was going to be. Barrett didn’t say anything. David Otunga was the spokesperson for the group, and he said wrestling Big Show didn’t do anything for Wade’s singles career. Barrett thanked Otunga for opening his eyes, and now he knows exactly what he’s going to do.
Cody Rhodes defeated “The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry: The announcers talked about Cody Rhodes spending the day at the spa and then called his victory an upset.
Jerry “The King” Lawler + Vickie Guerrero: The King made a perverted joke and Vickie told him to get on with it. Vickie got a good laugh remembering when Michael Cole cost the King a WWE championship. The King made some more jokes at the expense of Vickie Guerrero. The nominees were; 1) John Morrison jumps off a scaffold at Hell in a Cell, 2) Kofi Kingston does the Boom-drop off a ladder at Money in the Bank, 3) John Cena FU’s Batista off the set through the stage, 4) Randy Orton catches Evan Bourne in an Air Bourne and connects with an RKO… And the awards goes to, John Cena! Wade Barrett came out and grabbed the Slammy and walked to the ring.
Wade Barrett + John Cena + Nexus (David Otunga & Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel & Husky Harris & Michael McGillicutty): Wade Barrett said the whole world is hanging on his every word because they all want to know if he was going to rehire John Cena. Barrett teased his decision until the crowd broke out in chants for Cena. Barrett said he wanted to announce his decision straight to John Cena, so he told him to come to the ring right now! Cena came out of the audience as if he was sitting there all night. Barrett told Cena to keep his distance or he’ll never get rehired. Barrett said his decision affects Cena, himself, and Nexus. Suddenly the Nexus walked down and surrounded the ring. Cena took off his shirt and was ready to fight all of them. There was a long boring pause before Barrett announced that Cena was officially rehired, but on two conditions. 1) Cena agrees to face him at TLC in a Chair match, and 2) Cena agrees to go one-on-one with David Otunga TONIGHT! Cena was more than happy to agree to both conditions, but Otunga looked a little caught off guard. Barrett left the ring and the other five members of Nexus jumped in and attacked Cena. Barrett grabbed a chair and re-entered the ring so he could bash Cena with it over and over. Where are all of Cena’s friends now?
David Arquette + Angry Miz Girl + Mike “The Miz” Mizanin & Alex Riley: David Arquette came back out to put the building to sleep, plugging his new theatre or some crap like that. He either had Laryngitis or was putting on a cliche heel voice to sound more cool (but had the opposite effect). The nominees are… 1) Weird kid reacting to John Cena joining Nexus, 2) Loser crying when Shawn Michaels’ career ended, 3) Dumb-struck moron, 4) Angry Miz Girl reacting to Miz becoming WWE champion… And the award goes to, Angry Miz Girl! They actually flew the Angry Miz Girl (Kaylee) to the show to accept the award. She thanked her dad for taking her to RAW and her sister for standing up for her. The Miz (w/Alex Riley) interrupted and got down on one knee in front of Kaylee. Miz talked down to Kaylee and asked if he could look at her Slammy. He took it out of her hands and said he should keep it for safe keeping. Miz wanted Kaylee to show him the face that won her the Slammy. Miz gave the Slammy to Alex Riley and poor Kaylee had to walk off stage. Miz, Riley, and David Arquette walked to the ring as Miz bragged about being a Grand Slam Champion. Miz told everyone to tune in to the TLC PPV and watch him put Randy Orton through a table. The Anonymous General Manager sent in an email, which was read by Michael “AND I QUOTE” Cole. The G.M. said both Miz & Orton will face former champions tonight.
Mike “The Miz” Mizanin (w/Alex Riley & David Arquette) defeated Rey Mysterio: Midway through the match, Alberto Del Rio walked out to ringside to keep an eye on the match. Alex Riley distracted the referee so that Del Rio could trip Mysterio and allow the Miz to pick up the tainted victory! Mysterio got up and chased Del Rio up the ramp behind the curtain. Another email came in from the General Manager, who booked Randy Orton vs. Alex Riley & David Arquette later!
Edge + Christian: Edge said Kane was supposed to be his co-presenter, but he is busy having a meltdown of his own right now. Edge assured Kane that he would forget about Paul Bearer after he beats him for the World Heavyweight title at TLC. Edge said he needed a co-presenter that he’s comfortable with; one that he knows well and that he’s had chemistry with over the years. Christian came out and joined Edge on the stage. We’re supposed for forget that last time they were together they had unresolved issued on SmackDown!. Christian said he hopes Alberto Del Rio wins the award tonight because his peeps haven’t forgotten that Alberto was the reason he is on the shelf with an injury. The nominees are; 1) Big Show destroys Jack Swagger’s memoribilia, 2) Alberto Del Rio assaults Rey Mysterio, 3) Edge attacks the Anonymous General Manager’s computer, 4) Batista goes nuts and QUITS…. And the award goes to, Edge (for destroying the RAW G.M. Computer). Edge was thankful but he’s always been calm and rational. Edge started to lose his cool talking about a General Manager who “hides behind a computer.” Christian got an email on his phone from the Anonymous General Manager but he said he was just kidding and was trying to cut the tension. Edge said things change in the WWE all the time, but there was one thing that has remained the same, AND I QUOTE, Michael Cole is STILL A MASSIVE TOOL!
King Sheamus vs. John Morrison ended in a Double DQ: The match lasted only a few seconds until the referee was accidentally knocked down and he quickly threw the match out. An email came in from the Anonymous General Manager, which was read by Michael “AND I QUOTE” Cole. The G.M. booked both men in a #1 Contenders ladder match at the TLC PPV! Sheamus attacked Morrison and was upset about the decision. Sheamus shoved a ladder into Morrison’s ribs and then continued the assault. Sheamus picked up Morrison and launched him over the top rope onto the ladder!
William Regal & JTG + LayCool (Michelle McCool & Layla El): JTG did his stupid “yoyoyoyoyo” gimmick as William Regal watched on with disgust. The nominees were; C.M. Punk gets unmasked by the Big Show, 2) Mae Young punks out LayCool, 3) Beth Phoenix eliminates The Great Khali from the Royal Rumble, 4) Santino & Vladimir Kozlov in a dance-off….. The award goes to “LayCool beating Mae Young” – well at least that’s what JTG said. LayCool (Michelle McCool & Layla El) came out and happily accepted the award in annoying fashion. Isn’t this award kinda like winning the Darwin award?
Michelle McCool defeated Layla El and Natalya Neidhart and Beth Phoenix and Maryse Ouellet and Melina Perez and Kelly Kelly and Eve Torres and Alicia Fox and Gail Kim and Rosa Mendes and Tamina and Nikki Bella and Brie Bella and Kaitlyn (NXT) : All of the Divas immediately ganged up on Michelle McCool & Layla El but couldn’t eliminate them. Kaitlyn was eliminated first by Tamina. Rosa was eliminated by Tamina. Tamina was eliminated by The Bella Twins. One of the Bellas were eliminated by Eve. Eve was eliminated by Alicia. The other Bella was eliminated. The announcers were ignoring the action in the ring. Maryse was eliminated. Kelly was eliminated. I may have missed a few eliminations. Melina was eliminated by Beth. Layla was eliminated by Beth. Beth was eliminated by Michelle. Gail Kim & Alicia Fox was eliminated by Natalya. Natalya was eliminated by Michelle McCool! Michelle McCool is the 2010 Diva of the Year!!! Now both members of LayCool have a Slammy. An email came in from the Anonymous General Manager, which was read by Michael “AND I QUOTE” Cole. The G.M. booked Michelle McCool & Layla El vs. Beth Phoenix & Natalya Neidhart in the “first ever” Divas Tag Team Tables Match!
Mike “The Miz” Mizanin & Alex Riley + David Arquette: Alex Riley voiced his concern about teaming with David Arquette. The Miz said not to worry because he would be out there with them. David Arquette came in all pumped up and compared himself to the Miz. Riley said that Randy Orton was unpredictable.
The Big Show + Shawn Michaels (big screen): The Big Show talked about Hulk Hogan slamming Andre The Giant, Jimmy Snuka jumping off a steel cage, and the birth of Austin 3:16. The nominees were; 1) The “Free or Fired” match at Survivor Series, 2) Sheamus attacks Triple H during a tribute to Shawn Michaels, 3) the Super-sized Spear (Edge vs. Jericho), 4) Streak vs. Career (The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels)… And the winner is, no surprise, Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker! They showed a message from Shawn Michaels (taped at the Tribute to the Troops event). Michaels joked that he was at an undisclosed location so that the WWE doesn’t try to comvince him to come back. Michaels graciously accepted the award and said it was a wonderful ride, but he doesn’t miss it – however, he does miss the fans. Nice one.
Randy Orton defeated Alex Riley & David Arquette w/Mike “The Miz” Mizanin: Alex Riley wrestled the whole match and David Arquette stood on the apron the whole time looking like an idiot. Orton won with an RKO, but the Miz immediately attacked him with the Money in the Bank briefcase! The Miz slid a table into the ring and David Arquette set it up for him. Together, Miz & Arquette tried to suplex Orton through the table, but Orton escaped. Orton went after Miz but Arquette broke it up. Miz jumped out of the ring but Arquette couldn’t escape. Orton proceeded to power-bomb Arquette through the table!!!
Michael Cole: They showed a highlight reel of entertaining quotes throughout 2010 in the WWE, from pretty much everyone in the WWE. Of course, Michael Cole announced himself as the winner because he is the voice of the WWE. Cole said he didn’t expect this, but pulled out a speech from his pocket. Cole said he was humbled by the award despite the fact that he deserves it. Cole thanked all the Cole-miners and also thanked the Miz before he was cut off by bumper music.
Theodore Long + John Cena: The nominees were; 1) Edge, 2) The Miz, 3) Kane, 4) John Cena, 5) Rey Mysterio, 6) Randy Orton…. And the winner IS, as voted by the WWE Universe, JOHN CENA! Cena came out looking like a guy who didn’t get beat up by six guys earlier. Cena thanked the fans for not giving up on him. Cena said it was amazing because up until an hour ago he didn’t have a job. Cena talked about his year, and the joy of tailgating with the WWE Universe. Cena said the things that have happened to him have been his own fault, but he is now back full-time on RAW, and will continue to be a man of his word. Cena said he has taken out every member of the Nexus except two; David Otunga & Wade Barrett. Cena said tonight David Otunga will GET HURT and that will leave just one! Barrett said this Sunday at TLC every once of angry he has will be unleashed on Wade Barrett!
John Cena defeated Nexus member David “A-List” Otunga: Before the match, Nexus came out to the stage and Wade Barrett showed the video of what happened earlier tonight when Barrett rehired Cena and the Nexus destroyed him. Otunga bumped forarms with all members of the Nexus except Barrett before heading to the ring to face Cena. Otunga looked back to the stage and watched each member of Nexus walk out on him one at a time. Wade Barrett took a seat on the stage to watch the match. Otunga was left in the ring to deal with the wrath of John Cena! The finish saw Cena force Otunga to tap out with the STF. After the match, Cena grabbed a chair and repeatedly smashed Otunga with it! Barrett just watched from the stage holding his own chair. Cena lined up Otunga for one last chairshot and then pounded him! Barrett held up his chair on stage acknowledging Cena’s aggression.

The heart transplant service at the Scottish National Heart Transplant Unit, based at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, has today resumed.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) have been given the go-ahead to restart national heart transplant surgery, after deciding to suspend transplants to allow for an independent external review.
The review, conducted by a team of independent experts from other transplant centres in the UK, began on the 8th of January 2008 and included in-depth interviews with key members of the Glasgow team and a thorough examination of patient records. Following this work the reviewers concluded that the Glasgow team could resume full services with immediate effect.
The full report of the findings of the review will be formally submitted to NHSGGC within the next two weeks.
While the review took place patients awaiting transplantation in Scotland were transferred on to the waiting list at the transplant unit of the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle.
During the review, only heart transplant surgery at the unit was suspended. Organ retrieval, pre-operative assessment and post-operative care all continued to be provided by the Scottish team. All other cardiothoracic work continued as normal.
Routine heart transplantation is reserved for only the sickest patients with heart failure whose quality of life is very poor and who are not expected to survive more than a year on medical treatment.
Please note: Due to surgical commitments Mr Murday will only be available between 3pm and 4pm.
Mr Andrew Murday is available for interview today by arrangement with the Press Office.

Tootsie must pull its red bags of mini lollipops from shelves until the trademark trials ends.
A judge in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Toledo, Ohio, last week agreed to a preliminary injunction on behalf of Spangler Candy Company.
In May 2018, the Ohio-based confectioner alleged that Tootsie Roll redesigned the packaging for its Charms Mini Pops to emulate Dum Dums. Spangler also claimed that Tootsie copied the yellow pallet boxes, cut out to display lollipops in retail stores, but the judge focused on the product packaging itself.
The dominant issue seems to be the red bag holding lollipops of both brands. Charms hit the shelves in a red bag ‘confusingly similar’ to Dum Dums outer packaging in July 2017. The judge concluded that Tootsie ‘acted with the intent to deceive’ because these two brands typically sit next to each other on the shelf.
A spokesperson for the company could not comment as the case is ongoing.
Spangler spent $220,000 over the course of 20 months ‘refreshing’ its iconic Dum Dums packaging. It launched the new design in 2011.
Five years later, Tootsie unveiled its Mini Charms Pops in apparently a similar red bag. The court ruling explained that, at the time, Charms held less than a half-percent of the lollipop market. Tootsie thus developed a ‘price and value competition strategy’ to compete directly with Dum Dums in 2016, followed by a new design the next year.
Spangler sent a cease-and-desist letter last spring but Tootsie rejected it, leading the former to file suit in May.
The approved injunction means the judge believed that Spangler ‘is likely to succeed on the merits’ of the argument and would otherwise suffer ‘irreparable harm’ without temporary reprieve.

The natural soaps in this series, "Kelp Meal Soap" contains the natural moisturizing ingredient of kelp meal, collected from the Sanriku shoreline.
But these days, kelp and wakame seaweed are becoming popular as snacks and in salads.
Put some kelp in it.
Leave the kelp unwashed as the white surface powder adds flavoring.
But, dried kelp for making broth is selling poorly because of the popularity of other seasonings.

The Yamaha EF2400iS silent inverter generator is a powerful unit producing a massive maximum power output of 2,400 watts. We recommend this generator for use in motor homes and camper vans where extra power is required for running air conditioners, larger fridges, freezers or ovens. The aluminium die-cast frame and smooth design lines with minimal interruptions ensure easy access to the oil filler cap and air filter, and convenient access for oil changes and other servicing.
Pros : Simply put, this generator is awesome.It is quiet and provides enough power for my needs. It wont run a big AC unit but it surely delivers the juice.We recently had a 4 hour power outtage and I got to put it to the test. I ran a power cord from the generator sitting outside and in to my house. I plugged in my 55 inch TV, Stereo receiver, DVD player and Digital cable box. I plugged in several lights to keep the house lit up... No problems at all. We watched movies until the power came back on. I bought the generator for camping but this little test proved that it is more than I need when in the bush. While having my gear plugged in it ramped up a little but was quiet enough not to disturb my neighbors. highly recommend this generator. Get the bigger unit if you have more power needs, obviously.
Pros : Great product, very easy starting 1-2 pulls. Not to heavy for one person to move around. Very quite, runs A/C, microwave with no problems. Very good value.
Pros : Everything about this piece of equipment feels quality. It feels well designed and engineered. While I was hesitant to pay the much for the rated power when cheaper generators are readily available, I knew right away my money had been well spent..As for the noise levels, yesterday my wife asked me who I was speaking to outside. I told her I was showing the neighbor our generator. She asked me if I was going to run it for him. It had been running the entire time. From inside the house, she heard our conversation over the generator! think the clean inverter power will be much easier on my electronics and appliances.
Pros : Received my generator in perfect condition. It was well packed and was very easy to set up. The start up procedure is simple to follow in the instructions. Have used the generator on a couple occasions (about 4 hours each time). Easy to start and amazingly QUIET (running in economy mode)!!! Used at a football game and had several people come up to me and comment how surprised they were that it was so quitet! I haven't pushed the 1000 watt rating yet, but I can't imagine any issues. My only improvement suggestion to Yamaha was to make the oil filling process easier. They provide a funnel (of sorts), but it is a bit difficult to gauge a proper fill without overfilling. Just have to add slowly. Overall, it far exceeds my expectations.

Megan is so brilliant at what she does. First of all it is obvious that she truly loves teaching, so she is always 100% invested in her students. I have walked into a lesson having a very specific part in my voice that I need help on, and she knows exactly how to fix it. I truly learn something new and walk out better from every single lesson. And if something doesn’t make sense, she explains it in a way so you understand what is going on with your voice. Megan has helped me immensely with various styles of songs, auditioning, performing, and has led me to be able to do things with my voice I never thought I could do. She is the best of the best, no matter what level you’re at. I couldn’t recommend a more passionate, smart, kind, genius teacher.
Megan was my very first vocal teacher, and it was such an amazing experience! I loved going to every lesson, in fact, I looked forward to my lesson every week. She taught me so much about my voice and how to use it. With her help, I was able to do things with my voice that I never would have dreamed of. She is definitely the best teacher I’ve had!

GREENVILLE, South Carolina – Clemson University students are partnering with industry leaders in an effort to create sustainable solutions for the lifecycle of vehicles. Sponsored by ExxonMobil, graduate automotive engineering students in the university’s flagship Deep Orange program will develop a next-generation sustainable concept vehicle.
The goal of the project is to develop an ultra-efficient, lightweight, highly durable mobility solution. The project emphasizes the integration of sustainability in the entire product lifecycle – from manufacture and operation with circular economy considerations. Students will have a unique, hands-on experience working with ExxonMobil and skilled engineers throughout the design and development process.
CU-ICAR students have access to full-scale testing facilities for benchmarking, providing them with critical data to develop the next generation of vehicles.
After reaching an acceptable level of maturing in design, Deep Orange students build a scale mock-up. Prototypes are used to obtain feedback from external end-users to identify problems and guide the design. The process is repeated until end-users find the design satisfying and easy to use.
Housed at the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR), Deep Orange is an innovative, project-based learning program focused on systems integration. Now in its 11th iteration, the program immerses automotive engineers into the world of vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. Over two years, students obtain experience in financial and market analysis, vehicle design, development, prototyping and production planning. Students gain comprehensive technical knowledge as well as valuable “soft skills” that often are overlooked in traditional engineering programs.
Deep Orange 11 will be led by Srikanth Pilla, Jenkins Endowed Professor of Automotive Engineering at Clemson University and director of the Clemson Composites Center.
Deep Orange is a flagship program of Clemson University’s two-year master’s program focused on systems integration in automotive engineering. The program provides students with experience in market analysis, target customer profiles, vehicle design, prototyping and manufacturing while balancing costs and design targets in an aggressive timeline. The innovative vehicle prototype program encourages students to push the boundaries of conventional design and engineering.
The Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) is a 250-acre advanced-technology research campus where university, industry and government organizations collaborate. CU-ICAR offers master’s and Ph.D. programs in automotive engineering and is conducting leading-edge applied research in critical areas, such as advanced product-development strategies, sustainable mobility, intelligent manufacturing systems and advanced materials. CU-ICAR has industrial-scale laboratories and testing equipment in world-class facilities.

Mystic Jungle welcomes Lepa. A 8 year old Malaysian tigress.
Arriving with her lifetime companion, Bo, on February 21st, 2016, we are her fourth and final home. Tragically, Oko, the 18 year old Leopardess did not make it to the Jungle. She was lost during a surgical procedure for a severe wound sustained from a neighboring leopard at the third home of the cats.
Lepa began her life easily enough. She was welcomed into the home of Steve Sipek (aka Tarzan) and Melanie Boynes. For four years she lived with Steve, Melanie and Bo. That was until Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission launched “Project Greystoke” . Sadly, as time progressed, laws changed. These laws were inclusive of banning private ownership of the big cats and new caging requirements. Although the FFWC had grandfathered Steve and Melanie in to keep the cats they were already in possession of, they could acquire no more and must improve the caging.
To Steve, his caging was adequate as his house WAS the cage. The entire house was of marble and brass. But time had taken it’s toll on not only the man.. but the house. On February 27th, 2012, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission swooped in, arresting Steve and later releasing him after the three cats were seized from his house.
For almost 2 years the battle waged on in court to get Lepa, Bo and Oko back. During this time, they were held at a facility in central Florida. Finally, Steve and Melanie were awarded the cats back. The catch? Although not written nor spoken, neither would ever be able to obtain a FFWC Class I permit. No permit, no cats.
Melanie and Steve then chose a facility close to their home. Fate was about to rear her ugly head as this is where they tragically lost Oko.
As time moved forward, things began to change and personalities (human) began to become confrontational. It was then decided that the cats would be better suited in a different facility. Mystic Jungle was then asked to take Lepa and Bo.
Lepa and Bo are now thriving at the Jungle. Arriving scared, confused and angry, they have returned to their former days of chuffing and greeting not only Melanie, Steve but me.

Provide hours of fun at a Christmas party with this quick craft, guaranteed to keep the kids (and probably adults, too!) entertained.
Instead of throwing out those tin cans next time they’re headed for the recycling remember to keep a few back to transform into this novel game. And the only other things you’ll need are some felt, and craft essentials like scissors and glue.
Little ones will love deciding what faces to give their ‘bowling pin’ and you’ll love the few moments of calm you’ll get while they discuss important decisions like the shape oh their snowman’s nose.
Fancy buying some extra time? Challenge them to come up with the craziest faces they can, or ask them to design hats and scarves for the snowmen too.
Age group: All ages will have fun playing with the bowling set once you’ve made it but we think making these is best reserved for children from seven up, because of the potential sharp edges on the cans.
Help your child to stick some masking tape around the sharp, inside rim of the tin cans. Then let them paint the outside and bottom with white paint and leave to dry. Apply a second coat to make sure they look crisp and white.
Step 2Draw and cut out some round black felt eyes, carrot-shaped orange felt noses and red and black felt mouths. Stick a face onto each painted tin can. Now’s the time for a little creativity. See how individual you can make your snowmen’s faces.
Use the pom pom maker, to make some white wool ‘snowballs’ to knock the tin cans down with. You could also use a small ball if you don’t have a pom pom maker.
