James T. Carney, Pittsburgh, Pa., for defendant-appellant.
Before McWILLIAMS, BARRETT and DOYLE, Circuit Judges.
After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this three-judge panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not be of material assistance in the determination of this appeal. See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); Tenth Circuit R. 10(e). The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
United States Steel Corporation and the United States Steel and Carnegie Pension Fund (Appellants) appeal from a minute order entered by the federal district court denying their motion for attorney's fees and costs under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. Sec. 1132(g) [recodified, as amended, at 29 U.S.C. Sec. 1132(g)(1) (Supp. V 1981) ].
Shefton Gordon (Gordon), a retiree of the U.S. Steel Corporation, brought the original action under ERISA, 29 U.S.C. Secs. 1001 et seq., and under the laws of Utah seeking to prohibit the appellants from deducting from his non-contributory pension benefits an amount, otherwise payable to Gordon, equal to the black lung benefits paid to him pursuant to the Black Lung Benefits Act, 30 U.S.C. Secs. 901 et seq.1 Gordon alleged that, by offsetting these benefits, the appellants violated (1) the provisions of the U.S. Steel Corporation Pension Plan, and (2) section 203(a) of ERISA which provides that an employee's rights to his normal retirement benefit is nonforfeitable.
In any action under this subchapter ... by a participant, beneficiary, or fiduciary, the court in its discretion may allow a reasonable attorney's fee and costs of action to either party.
Clearly, it is within the district court's sound discretion to determine whether a party is entitled to attorney's fees as the result of an action brought under ERISA. Further, the granting of attorney's fees under ERISA is not to be done as a "matter of course," but is discretionary in nature. Iron Workers Local No. 272 v. Bowen, 624 F.2d 1255, 1265-66 (5th Cir.1980) [court distinguished the award of attorney's fees under ERISA from that provided for under section 204(b) of Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 2000a-3(b) ]; Fase v. Seafarers Welfare and Pension Plan, 589 F.2d 112, 116 (2d Cir.1978). Thus, our standard for review is whether the district court "abused its discretion" by its ruling on the motion. Hummell v. S.E. Rykoff & Co., 634 F.2d 446, 452 (9th Cir.1980); Landro v. Glendenning Motorways, Inc., 625 F.2d 1344, 1356 (8th Cir.1980); Iron Workers, supra at 1266.
To hold that the district court abused its discretion, we must have a definite conviction that the court, upon weighing relevant factors, clearly erred in its judgment. Hummell, supra [citing Pue v. Sillas, 632 F.2d 74, 78 (9th Cir.1980) ]. However, the district court issued only a minute order without discussion. To effectively review its decision under the above-mentioned standard, we must be aware of the reasons why the district court decided as it did. See Hummell, supra; Iron Workers, supra. We must, therefore, remand to the district court with instruction that the court state the reasons for denying the appellants' motion for attorney's fees.
To effectively exercise its discretion under section 1132(g)(1), the district court should have guidelines to apply. Apparently, there has been some dispute regarding the intention of a portion of our holding in Eaves v. Penn, 587 F.2d 453 (10th Cir.1978). The appellants contend that the five-prong criteria we elicited in Eaves was not established as general criteria to be used in determining whether attorney's fees are awardable, but only as criteria to use in determining whether the fees to be awarded are done so against the Plan fund or against the offending party personally.5 See Brief for Appellants at 11. Gordon essentially agrees with the appellants. He urges, however, that the Eaves criteria are applicable to any case, such as this, where an attempt is made to award fees against a party personally. See Brief for Appellee at 11-12.
The Eaves criteria is an effective means of providing the guidance needed by district courts to exercise their discretion under section 1132(g)(1). Thus, we hold that when determining whether to award attorney's fees under section 1132(g)(1), the district court should consider these factors among others: (1) the degree of the opposing parties' culpability or bad faith; (2) the ability of the opposing parties to personally satisfy an award of attorney's fees; (3) whether an award of attorney's fees against the opposing parties would deter others from acting under similar circumstances; (4) whether the parties requesting fees sought to benefit all participants and beneficiaries of an ERISA plan or to resolve a significant legal question regarding ERISA; and (5) the relative merits of the parties' positions. See Hummell, supra at 453; Iron Workers, supra; Eaves, supra at 465.
WE REMAND with instruction that the district court express its reasons for denying appellants' motion for attorney's fees.

In my pre-divorce life, I was the most romantic person I knew.
Nothing gave me more pleasure than surprising my ex partner with romantic gestures, big, small and sometimes, outlandishly extravagant.
And as such, Valentine’s Day as stupidly commercialised as it is, was my thing.
Not necessarily going out to dinner with all the other doe-eyed lovers but making it a day to remember, cooking romantic meals at home, complete with typed menus and all sorts and of course, the gifts.
Like the picture below in 2014, when my ex came home to a three course meal, roses from the garden and champagne. For dessert, I had baked heart shaped chocolate cakes and heart shaped shortbread biscuits. I had also made strawberries dipped in melted chocolates and served with fresh mint.
Now of course when I think of Valentine’s Day, I remember 2015.
My ex husband had come home from work around 3.30 am on Valentine’s day morning. I had cooed and sympathised with “my poor love” working all night. In the morning, we had exchanged gifts, his, as extravagant as always, including a Louboutin, which I had gushed was so totally me. I declared that it was one of the most thoughtful presents he had ever given me. He had worked that Saturday, and that evening, we had gone out to dinner at Hakkasan Mayfair, which used to be our favourite restaurant – so sacred, he took his mistress there.
I would later find taxi receipts that showed that he had not worked until the early morning that day, but had made the long taxi ride from his mistress’s marital home in Weybridge.
I would also later find receipts that showed that he had bought two of the much complimented Louboutin – one for me, and one for his mistress.
And so, given Ms Romantic here, my ex husband knew that I would love the idea of being proposed to on Valentine’s Day. But he also found the whole day understandably, somewhat tacky.
That year, 2003, I had been expectant. We had been dating for two years. We were loved up and very happy. We had discussed marriage. I thought if he was going to propose, he would do it on that day. I even secretly bought two Valentine’s Day card. One addressed to my boyfriend and the other, to my fiance.
That Valentine’s day passed without a whisper of a proposal and I had lost hope but it had been a wonderful day nevertheless.
At one minute to midnight on Valentine’s day, after a wonderful, romantic evening where we had stuffed our faces with a 4 course meal, my ex wanted me to open a heart shaped Godiva chocolate. I was stuffed. I said no. He insisted. I finally opened this box of chocolate and inside was the most exquisite, beautiful ring.
It was one of the few occasions I was truly speechless.
Over the years, the engagement story regaled the tale of my ex husband proposing just before midnight, to give me the romantic Valentine’s Day proposal he knew I wanted but still far removed from the tackiness and cliche of a Valentine’s Day proposal, to satisfy him.
I wore and loved that sparkly ring with so much pleasure for 12 years, until last year happened when I cast it away, together with my wedding ring, into a box with all sorts of cheap jewellery.
So…what does one do with an engagement ring that represented all that love, romance, hope and optimism for the future, when things go so terribly wrong?
My ex had paid £3,250 in 2003 for this ring from Ernest Jones, plus another £100 for insurance, and I therefore expected that the diamond would have appreciated in 13 years. I had high hopes of getting some pennies for this much loved, beautiful, sparkly ring.
I couldn’t find the certificate but I was certain given the price paid and the beauty of the ring, that it was good quality, after all the ring was from Ernest Jones.
I fantasied that it was colour IF and clarity D, after all my ex liked good quality things and would have done his research about the 4Cs of diamond buying. Google gave me fantastic values for a 1.02 carat, round brilliant cut diamond with colour IF and clarity D.
My bubble that selling this ring might pay my mortgage for a few months was well and truly bursted when I finally found the certificate at the weekend.
It was a poor quality diamond. 1.02 carat diamond set on yellow and white 18 carat gold. Colour J, Clarity P1. Several online websites gave me the abysmal amount to expect for the diamond.
Surely everyone knows about the 4Cs of diamonds? How did my ex pay such a ridiculous price for such poor diamond?
Shame on you Ernst Jones.
On Monday, I continued my research by calling several diamond buyers in Hatton Gardens – the diamond capital of the UK. One told me that the most I would expect to sell, would be £800. Others told me that they would not buy because no one wants such poor quality diamond.
Another charming man, spent a long time on the phone advising me and suggested that I should not bring along the certificate if I came to see him or anyone else because with the card, no one would want to buy the diamond and if they did, the most I would get would be £650 to £800.
And so, yesterday, following my first mammogram near Harley Street, I set off to Hatton Gardens to try and sell my diamond engagement ring and wedding ring.
The so called buyer offered me £200 for the engagement ring my ex paid £3,250 in 2003.
After the offer of £200, I went to several other shops in Hatton Gardens trying to flog the engagement and wedding rings. Quite a few buyers refused to buy because of the poor diamond quality.
One buyer finally offered me £625 for both rings. I decided to keep trying other shops.
One Asian man saw me, started asking me personal questions, including why I was selling. I told him that I was newly divorced. He said he respected me and the fact that I was a determined lady making the best of difficult circumstances. He was philosophical about life, saying that we die with nothing and have to help each other whenever we can.
He said that he felt drawn to me when he saw me and that something in him told him to help me out because everything in life isn’t about money.
He stated that he would offer me the price he would sell my diamond for and not the buying price.
I confess that I was cynical. I thought he might have perfected the gift of sweet talk. I knew the full potential price of the diamond ring. The only offers I had received were for £200 and £625. What could this man offer?
For whatever reason best known to this wonderfully kind man, he offered to buy my engagement and wedding ring for £1,400; more than double the best price that I had received on the day.
I am grateful to this stranger and I pray that he is rewarded a millionfold for his kindness and generosity especially as he had admitted that business had been slow in the last few months post Brexit.
Yesterday, I also sold some scrap gold to the same man for £500. Once again, he had given me a much better price than what I was offered by every single other shop I had visited, including my so called buyer who had offered £235.
The scrap gold consisted of a broken gold necklace, 2 broken gold bracelets, one single gold earring (I couldn’t find its pair) and 1 pair of gold earrings I hadn’t worn in years which my ex’s mum had given me just before our wedding in 2004. I didn’t like the earrings and had only worn them once or twice. When I found them at the weekend, one was broken.
I also had other glittering, sparkly “gold” jewellery that were revealed by the jeweller’s tests not to be real gold.
Coming back home with £1,900 consisting of £1,300 cash and £600 cheque, I was very tired, cold, (I had been going up and down Hatton Garden in the cold and light rain), very emotional and wondering who this person was, who had gathered and sold unwanted broken gold jewellery, having researched the price of scrap gold, and who had researched the price of diamond, and had bettered her realistic estimates for both diamond and gold.
I am so proud of my little self.
And so today, I went to the bank to deposit £1,900 from jewellery that had been languishing in various boxes.
I am grateful to this divorce for opening my eyes to so many new things.

Divi WordPress Theme | To The Wild Co.
WordPress is my fav blogging platform, but it isn’t without its flaws.
My WordPress-related pet peeve has always been customization. While some aspects, like widgets and plugins, are for the most part straightforward to use, there is a STEEP learning curve when it comes to creating or even customizing a WordPress theme. I have absolutely spent my fair share of time frustrated as hell at my inability to produce what I wanted in a WordPress theme design.
ENTER THE DIVI WORDPRESS THEME.
I’m not kidding when I say Divi changed everything about my blog and branding strategy.
Super easy to install and set-up.
Divi installs like a regular theme, and Divi Builder installs like any other plugin.
The Divi Builder is a visual drag-and-drop page and post builder, which makes getting started straightforward.
The Elegant Themes team constantly adds new features and updates.
Divi is as simple or complicated as you want it to be.
Want a plain, clean one-page design? You can do it in Divi. Want a parallax background, animated content sections, and video components? Divi can do that, too!
Elegant Themes has killer customer support.
Their forums are a great place to find answers to questions that have already been asked, and if you can’t find the info you need, an Elegant Themes team member will get you fixed up quickly.
You can use Divi on multiple websites.
Divi doesn’t nickle-and-dime you per domain use, which means you can install Divi on multiple WordPress sites without having to worry about licensing limitations.
Once you build something with Divi, it’s Divi forever.
Divi theme layouts are so customizable – the sky is really the limit. THAT SAID, once you create a page or post with Divi, there’s no way to easily remove the Divi coding should you choose to switch to a different theme in the future.
Because it’s a builder, you must build.
Divi won’t solve your design dilemmas right out of the box. The default Divi layout is very simple – not ugly, but plain. To really get your jazz and pizazz, you have to take the time to create killer designs.
It’s a premium theme, with a premium price.
Divi costs $89 per year, or $249 for lifetime access. For me, the price is well worth the features and ease of use, but if you’re just starting out, you may not want to sink that much coin just yet.
Check out Divi on the Elegant Themes website!
When you buy the Divi theme, you also get immediate access to the rest of Elegant Theme’s themes and plugins – like Monarch sharing, and Bloom email. Both plugins are so easy to use with Divi theme, and integrate beautifully into whichever design you create.
For a full overview of Divi’s features, including a fully functional demo version, click here.
Once you’ve created your Elegant Themes account, you’ll have full access to the full Elegant Themes suite: this means Divi access, as well as additional theme access, like the Extra child theme, and Elegant Themes’ older, non-divi templates. This is also where you’ll get Members Area access to the Elegant Themes created plugins, like Bloom and my personal fav, Monarch.
From here, you’ll want to save the Divi.zip and divi-builder.zip files to your desktop, or a Divi-specific folder on your computer harddrive that you’ll easily be able to find later. I recommend keeping a backup of both the theme zip file, and the builder plugin file handy – juuust in case.
So, first we’ll install the actual Divi theme to your WordPress site, and then we’ll install the Divi Builder plugin.
Once the dialogue box pops up, navigate to the location where you saved the Divi.zip file, and double click it. WordPress will do its thing, and install the theme to your site. Once it’s installed, you’ll see the Divi theme preview in your Themes list. Click the Activate button right underneath the purple and white Divi preview.
Now, the only thing we need to do before getting to the fun customization stuff, is entering your Elegant Themes API key. The API key basically lets Elegant Themes know you own a legit copy of Divi, and are entitled to future updates.
Click on the Add New API Key button to generate your first API key we’ll use today. Once the key has been generated, double-click with your mouse to highlight the text, and then copy it, and navigate back to your WordPress Dashboard tab. Once you’re back in WordPress land, we’re going to paste your API key into your Divi themes settings page.
Once you’re on your Divi Theme Options page, click on the Updates tab. On this page, you’ll use your Elegant Themes username (if you already can’t remember it, that’s cool, check out your Elegant Themes member registration email for a reminder) and the API key you just generated. Stick ’em both in there, and click the Save Changes button.
That’s it! The theme part of Divi is now installed to your WordPress site. The last thing we have to do before you can start customizing your Divi theme, is install the Divi Builder.
The Divi Builder controls the creation of all WordPress Pages and Posts. You’ll use the Theme Options, Theme Customizer, and Module Customizer to change the look of your layout (like the sidebar, color elements, background, etc) and the Divi Builder to create and manage the structure of your actual content.
It’s really, really easy to install the Divi Builder. If you’ve manually added any WordPress plugin to your site already, this is gonna be a snap.
All you have to do is navigate to Plugins > Add Plugins > Upload Plugin. From there, find where you saved the divi-builder.zip file on your computer, and double-click to upload. Once the plugin has been successfully uploaded, activate it, and click on Post > Add New.
The Use Visual Builder button will load up the drag and drop builder, which lets you preview your post or page in real-time. This is where I recommend you start, as a new Divi builder, even if it’s just to get used to and preview the different elements you can create.
Aside from the Visual Builder, there is the Layout Builder, which you can see above. You won’t be able to see what you’re doing until you preview your page, but you may prefer it over the visual/drag-and-drop builder style.

text: The History of Australian cricket begins over 200 years ago. The first recorded cricket match in Australia took place in Sydney in December 1803 and a report in the Sydney Gazette on 8 January 1804 suggested that cricket was already well established in the infant colony. By 1826, clubs including the Currency Cricket Club, the Military Cricket Club and the Australian Cricket Club had been formed and Hyde Park and the Racecourse were the venue for these organised matches. The formation of clubs in Van Diemen’s Land (later Tasmania) was not far behind with clubs formed in Hobart in 1832 and Launceston in 1843. In Victoria in 1838, arguably Australia’s most exclusive and influential cricket club was formed, the Melbourne Cricket Club. Clubs in the other colonies followed in South Australia in 1839, and in Western Australia in 1835 a match was arranged between the labourers and mechanics against the builders of the new Government House.

The Nationwide Building Society has reported that statutory profit for the first six months of the year were £516m, down 17% on the £628m figure for the same period a year ago.
The UK’s largest mutual said record numbers of first time buyers chose a mortgage with Nationwide.
Gross prime mortgage lending was £15.2 billion, compared to £15.0 billion 12 months ago.
It increased gross buy-to-let lending to £2.1 billion (H1 2017/18: £1.7 billion).
Joe Garner, chief executive at the Nationwide Building Society, said: “Nationwide Building Society exists to serve our members, communities and society. In the last six months, we have continued to grow strongly, our members have continued to benefit from competitive rates, attractive products and leading service, and we have improved our already robust financial position. The strength of our business means we are well placed to invest confidently in the future of the Society, and we have committed to invest an additional £1.3 billion over the next five years to transform our technology estate and capabilities. This will take our total investment over the next five years to £4.1 billion and will ensure the Society makes the most of the opportunities ahead. We will develop new propositions, further enhance our service, simplify our operations and build new skills for the future.
“This conscious decision to increase our investment is underpinned by the continued strength of our performance over the last six months. We continue to lead our high street peer group for customer satisfaction by a significant margin1. We protected savers and rewarded loyal members, delivering £330 million in member financial benefit through better rates, fees and incentives than the market average over the half year. The special rate ISA, available exclusively to our loyal members, contributed to a £5.1 billion rise in deposits. We continued to support first time buyers, helping a record 40,500 into a home of their own – 1 in 5 of all first time homeowners. And more people are choosing Nationwide for their everyday finances, with almost 400,000 current accounts opened with us so far this year.
“Our success in the personal current account market, where we have grown accounts by 70% in the last five years, has given us the confidence to accelerate our entry into the business banking market. The funding available from the Banking Competition Remedies remains important to us as it will allow us to bring our proposition to market faster and with greater impact.
“50,000 members a year ask us to provide business banking, and we believe we can offer a compelling mutual alternative to Britain’s currently underserved 5.6 million small businesses. Nationwide is here for the long term and we believe we can make a lasting difference in this market, as we have in the personal current account market, thanks to the combination of leading service and good value we can offer. This is the logical next step in bringing mutuality to more people.
Mark Rennison, chief financial officer at the Nationwide, added: “These results show that Nationwide is built to last and continues to provide a secure home for members’ money. Trading was strong in the first six months and we have strengthened our CET 1 capital ratio to 31.7%, and UK leverage ratio to 5.0%. This performance gives us the confidence to increase our investment in our future, which will allow us to pursue new opportunities for the benefit of our members.
“As a building society we do not aim to maximise profit and our decision to increase investment was in the full knowledge that it would impact on our profitability. If we exclude the charge we’ve recognised for asset write-offs and incremental technology spend, profits are in line with last year and we have held costs flat while servicing rising business volumes. We have continued to make the Society more efficient and are not only on track to deliver our targeted sustainable saves but have also set a more ambitious target for saves by 2023.

SKIN CONCERN: AGEING WHAT HAPPENS?
During the ageing process, skin loses collagen and elastin, prompting the appearance of fine lines/wrinkles. External factors such as free radicals, lifestyle and UV damage can further accelerate the ageing process with diet and hormonal changes being known contributors.
The Environ® Skin Essentials Youth+ Box targets signs of ageing with a combination of scientifically researched ingredients that aim to deliver youth-enhancing benefits.

Dry skin is often caused by external stressessuch as the weather climate or harsh soaps and exfoliators /moisturisers that strip the skin of moisture. When skin can’t retain moisture and sebaceous glands become less active, skin begins to flake and fine cracks appear.

The Skin Essentials Moisture+ Box contains: Skin EssentiA Vita-Antioxidant AVST Moisturiser (1-5), combination of vitamin A, C & E and antioxidants to normalise and repair the skin; Hydrating Clay Masque, a multi-tasking masque containing pro-vitamin B5 and vitamin E to boost hydration; Vita-Antioxidant Hydrating Oil Capsules, these capsules deliver a concentrated burst of hydration for the skin, enriching it with vitamins and natural surface oils.

Living in a West Village apartment provides Texas residents with easy access to much of what Dallas has to offer. One of the most pedestrian friendly areas in the entire state, the neighborhood is ripe with opportunities for active nature enthusiasts, motivated young professionals, and inquisitive lovers of arts and sciences. The list below highlights some of the area’s notable parks, employers, and attractions.
Texans are no strangers to sunshine. And due to their proximity to open spaces, West Village residents are well acquainted with many local parks. However, Katy Trail and Trinity River stand out among the rest.
First constructed in the spring of 2000, Katy Trail is a 3.5 mile long pathway that borders West Village, Dallas from Victory Park to Washington Station. Beautifully landscaped and well maintained, the trail is a popular route for local bicyclists, runners, and dog walkers. The trail is divided into two separate pathways which run parallel to one another for the entire stretch of the park. The primary trail is a 12-foot wide cement pathway designed to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists, and the secondary trail is made from recycled rubber solely intended for joggers. Built over the remains of a decommissioned railway, Katy Trail connects numerous parts of this Dallas area and is used for recreation as well as transportation.
Cutting through the heart of Dallas/Fort Worth, the Trinity River historically served as a major shipping and commerce route for Native Americans and western pioneers. Today, the waterway is largely unused by industry due to navigational concerns, though it continues to beckon activity through its pristine habitat and varied wildlife. Fisherman, Canoers, and rafters regularly visit the Trinity River Greenbelt Park to get some fresh air and enjoy the great outdoors. And because it is less than one mile away from West Village, it’s a great destination for local residents.
Employers in West Village are numerous. A vibrant economy fueled by the domestic energy market massively contributes to relatively low unemployment statistics throughout the state, and many people do not have problems finding work in the Dallas area. In fact, the city has consistently experienced an unemployment rate that is approximately 1 percent lower than the national average year after year.
Although the greater Dallas area hosts the headquarters of 12 Fortune 500 companies, several distinguished employers are located in Uptown proper. Included among these employers is Holly Frontier, an energy and marketing company servicing the Southwest, Midwest, and Rocky Mountains. Dean Foods, an international food company that specializes in dairy products, is also headquartered in the neighborhood.
The West Village neighborhood is close to a plethora of vibrant cultural attractions in the Dallas region. Wildlife enthusiasts and underwater adventurers alike will love the Dallas World Aquarium, which features sharks, crocodiles, and exotic birds. Science junkies will find an equal amount of fun at the Perot Museum for Nature and Sciences, with its dinosaur fossil displays and rotating science exhibits. And for the avid sportsman, American Airlines Center promises a night of entertainment at a Mavericks game. All of these attractions, plus several other museums, can be found less than a mile away and are just a short walk from West Village.
With so much to offer in terms of outdoor recreation, employment, and culture, it’s easy to understand why renting in West Village is so popular among Dallas residents.

Maldwyn George Zang, 59, died Tuesday, Jan. 16. A skier on a Lionshead chairlift spotted his body in Gore Creek in Vail, and the Eagle County coroner later identified the longtime Vail resident.
VAIL — A longtime Vail local was found dead Tuesday morning, Jan. 16, in Gore Creek in Lionshead Village.
Maldwyn “Maldy” George Zang, of Vail, turned 60 on Dec. 12. The longtime local is survived by his two sisters and one brother.
Zang both worked with and was beloved by Vail’s Bart & Yeti’s crew, staffers there said Tuesday afternoon. He attended the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley in the 1970s.
Maldwyn worked in the Bart & Yeti’s kitchen for 40 years, longer than Foley said he has owned the place.
The cause of death remains under investigation, but the frigid overnight temperatures played a factor in Zang’s death, said Vail Police Detective Luke Causey, public information officer.
Causey said Zang was frozen and there was ice all around him. Zang’s sunglasses were found just upstream, and he had a cut on the bridge of his nose, indicating that he might have fallen in the creek before he died, Causey said.
At 9:03 a.m. Tuesday, a woman riding up a Lionshead Village chairlift called 911, saying she had spotted a man’s body in Gore Creek.
Vail police officers and detectives, as well as swift water/cold water rescue crews and other personnel from the Vail Fire Department, worked quickly to recover Zang’s body from the creek. He was transported to the Eagle County Coroner’s office for further investigation. Zang could not be identified at the scene.
A backpack was found in the creek nearby but did not contain any identifying information. There was a copy of a Monday, Jan. 15, edition of the Vail Daily newspaper in the backpack, along with a small set of car keys and a first aid kit.
Causey also said a missing persons report filed Monday night was not Zang. That person had gotten separated from his group and was quickly found and reunited.
Skiing and snowboard traffic was diverted away from Lionshead Village while Vail Police were conducting their initial investigation Tuesday morning. The lifts and runs were reopened before noon Tuesday, Vail Resorts said.

Title: Fractionation mobility and multivariate statistical evaluation of metals in marine sediments of Cape Town Harbour, South Africa.
Source: Okoro, H.K., Fatoki, O.S., Adekola, F.A., Ximba, B.J. & Snyman, R.G. 2014. Fractionation, mobility and multivariate statistical evaluation of metals in marine sediments of Cape Town Harbour, South Africa. Chemical Speciation & Bioavailability, 26(3):126-138.
Abstract: Distribution of possible chemical forms of Al, Si, Sn, Pb, Zn, Fe, Hg, Cd and Cu in marine sediments of Cape Town harbour was investigated using a modified Tessier’s sequential extraction procedure and ICP-MS and ICP-AES for heavy metals determination. The mean fractions for all metals at all locations were: 1.5–7196 mg kg-1 for Si, 7.79–7266 mg kg-1 for Al, 161–639 mg kg-1 for Cu, 19–41978 mg kg-1 for Fe, 2.83–5864 mg kg -1 for Zn, 1.45–13.26 mg kg-1 for Cd, 9.87–223 mg kg-1 for Sn, 11.98–979 mg kg -1 for Pb and 0.13–5.93 mg kg-1 for Hg. Si, Al and Zn were mostly associated with Fe–Mn oxides, whereas Sn and Hg were mainly bound to residual and organic matter. Pb existed mainly in the residual and iron/manganese oxide phases while Cd was evenly distributed in all the five phases. The loading plots of heavy metals bound to the various chemical forms, as well as Pearson correlation coefficients, enabled the determination binding relationship. Pb, Sn and Hg exhibited similar binding behaviour which indicated an anthropogenic point source from wastes from the ship maintenance workshop, and the presence of Sn in the organic phase can be identified with the use of anti-fouling paints at the harbour, whereas Al, Fe, Si, Cu and Zn would probably be of natural origin. Lastly Cd probably came from a diffuse pollution sources in the harbour due to its unique binding characteristic. The mobility of heavy metals varied depending on location and the heavy metal type. The mobility of metals followed the order: Si > Zn > Fe > Cu> Al> Cd> Pb > Sn > Hg. The high percentage of Cd and Pb in the bioavailable forms suggested the need to keep close surveillance on these metals because of their high toxicity.

Losing weight and burning fat involves a lot of hard work. One must eat properly and exercise on a regular basis. Nevertheless, in some cases, these two things don’t seem to work as one might expect.
This is why many people turn to supplements like fat burners to speed up their weight-loss process. Among the most popular stimulants on the market, I have found two products that caught my eye: LeanBean and Instant Knockout. They both seem promising, which is why I decided to do this comparative review.
1 LeanBean vs Instant Knockout – Who Makes Them?
9 How Much Do These Fat Burners Cost?
LeanBean vs Instant Knockout – Who Makes Them?
LeanBean loss supplement is manufactured by the Ultimate Life Company which is located in the United Kingdom. Although they haven’t been on the market for a long period, they are already making waves. In order to create this fat burner pills, Ultimate Life has collaborated with numerous experts to make sure they come up with the best possible product. LeanBean is made from natural ingredients which are carefully selected.
It is supported and promoted by professional fitness models which makes me wonder how true all the company’s claims are, considering they felt the need to use endorsed marketing tactics but I guess many other natural fat burners brands do that nowadays.
It was first created especially for MMA fighters but it can now be used by anybody.
When it comes to health and weight-loss supplements, ingredients and the right dosages are probably the most important aspects you should consider. When you buy fat burner pills, you need to stay away from proprietary blends. To do that, you must read the list of ingredients mentioned on the label as well as each of these element’s dosages. Fortunately, neither of the supplements discussed in today’s comparative review use proprietary blends.
Piperine – it is an ingredient derived from pepper and although it doesn’t help you burn fat or calories on its own, it has a great ability to enhance the benefits and effects of all the other ingredients.
Minerals and vitamins – chromium, vitamins B6 and B12.
GTF Chromium – the manufacturer added a small amount of GTF chromium in order to enhance all the other compounds’ effectiveness. Also, it regulates blood sugar levels while also keeping your energy at a more balanced level.
Minerals and vitamins: zinc, vitamin B6, vitamin B12.
As you can see, both these products have a good blend of fat burning inducing ingredients. Each one of them provides effective combinations of fat burners, energy boosters, and appetite or cravings suppressants.
Clients can easily benefit from the company’s money-back guarantee.
In order to qualify for the money-back guarantee, one must purchase this product for three months in a row.
There’s a money-back guarantee if you don’t burn fat.
You can only buy Instant Knockout burn fat supplement from the company’s official website.
This fat burner pills is sold in bottles that contain 120 capsules. The producer recommends its clients to ingest four servings (a serving is equal to one capsule) each day with either water or food. Therefore, one single bottle will last you one entire month.
The same goes for Instant Knockout loss supplement and energy boost. They also sell 120-capsule containers and they advise you to take four capsules per day. On the other hand, Instant Knockout’s manufacturer also stipulates that consumers should take their last dose at least 5 hours before bed.
So, until now, these two products to burn fat are very much alike. They offer you the same monthly supply, their ingredients are natural and work as metabolic enhancers and weight-loss elements, and many other similarities. However, Instant Knockout is a stronger stimulant which is why is designed mostly for men while LeanBean is a lot easier tolerated by women’s organisms.
How Much Do These Fat Burners Cost?
One month supply of 120 capsules costs almost $60. If you decide to purchase in bulk, you will benefit from a discount provided by the company. For instance, for the price of $185, you will receive a so-called “bikini bundle” which consists of three LeanBean containers plus one additional bottle (totally free of charge). Besides these, you will also get another freebie: a workout guide in the form of an e-book.
Consumers can take advantage of the LeanBean’s 90-day money-back guarantee if they are not pleased with the way this supplement worked for them. Moreover, as part of your order, the manufacturer includes another bonus: a free workout plan which is excellent for women who want to stay physically active or who are new to working out.
You can purchase a supply for one whole month of Instant Knockout for the price of almost $60. The cost of a supply that will last you for two months is $118 so I guess the discount isn’t a very appealing one. Still, they also offer a package that is called the Ultimate Shredding Stack. It includes the following items: three Instant Knockout containers plus one free bottle and a money-back guarantee that is available within a 90-day period from your purchase. This package is marketed for $185. Check out the latest rates and discounts on Amazon here!
Both supplements can only be ordered on their manufacturer’s website so you won’t be able to buy them from other third-party sellers such as Amazon or eBay.
Due to the fact that these fat burners contain natural ingredients, there are lower chances that you will experience any side effects whatsoever. However, you should always check the label or seek your doctor’s opinion before taking any type of stimulants.
Both LeanBean and Instant Knockout contain caffeine which can lead to certain mild adverse effects such as headaches, anxiety, shakes, and even an unsettled feeling but this last effects are met on rare occasions. Another mild effect that some of you might deal with is bloating caused by glucomannan and Garcinia Cambogia but this should disappear on its own after the first couple of days you added to your diet.
Specialists recommend people to drink a lot of water when they take stimulants or supplement to burn fat or to lower or alleviate any potential indigestion symptoms.
Are you still wondering which one of these two supplements is better? Here’s the deal! In my opinion, both these products are some of the best weight-loss stimulants on the market. Both of them provide a good combination of natural ingredients. They are said to boost your metabolism, suppress your appetite, and increase your energy levels. Another aspect that I consider important is the ingredients’ dosages which in the case of LeanBean and Instant Knockout are quite impressive.
Bottom Line: So, LeanBean is the best choice for female users while Instant Knockout is better suited for men. All in all, the final choice is all yours because, in terms of ingredients, dosages, effectiveness, and company reputation, both fat burners are pretty much the same.

This college is the best college in all over the college of Ghaziabad.
Don't get admission in this college..save your time and money...The college is always under construction.. basically it's not a college..they have used an old cloth mill.. everywhere is dust on benches.. nobody ever cleans them.. college won't give you anything except fine..yes they impose fine from Rupee 1700 to 80000 on people on various acts..
The management of the college must look for the students extra co curricular activities.
The college management is very strict sometimes it feels good but sometimes it really irritates overall we came for study and went after the task was completed.
Dr. K. N. Modi Institute of Engineering and Technology, Modinagar is a private institute that imparts technical and business education in the state of U.P. The institute was started in the year 1995. Institute is located 32 km away from Delhi –border on NH 58.
Library: College has air conditioned library with 76000+books and magazines. Digital library is also available through which users can access online books and journals.
Auditorium: College has auditorium which can accommodate 2000+ students. Auditorium plays good role for catering various events purposes.
Festivals: Spandan- It is the annual cultural fest conducted by college.
I went through Management Quota. I opted this college as this college was quite famous and popular at that time and also ranked in the top 10 UPTU colleges. But after joining I was told by my seniors that the placement here is very unsatisfactory and it was famous just because of the earlier good batches. The only Good thing here is that we get good internal marks.
I took UPTU-2010, I scored 355 with General rank 19527 and OBC rank approax 6800 and same year I took admission to this college. I opted for this college as this was the first private technical institute of U.P. having good status and quality of education. I also searched for the placement record at that time and found good. In fact after passing out in 2014 I got selected in a top MNC named Accenture for Mumbai location as software engineer.

There is no difference between RealTime or plain indexes in terms of how you run queries.
While it implements the MySQL protocol, SphinxQL is not 100% compatible with MySQL syntax. There are specific extensions, like MATCH clause [the most powerful thing in Manticore] or WITHIN GROUP BY and many functions available in MySQL are not implemented (or they are dummy just to allow compatibility with MySQL connector e.g.) or JOINs between indexes which are not supported yet.
In the guide of the indexes we already saw an example of a search. In addition to the fulltext match, you can also have attribute filtering, grouping and sorting by attributes or expressions.
Here we also added a SHOW META command (you can run it in another call, but must be on same session to give information from the query you’ve just executed). For general usage, total_found and time are most useful.
Manticore supports LIMIT clause like traditional databases in the format LIMIT [offset,] row_count. If no LIMIT is set, the first 20 rows of the result set are returned.
Another non-standard clause is OPTION, which can be used to set various settings for the query.
By default, operator AND is used if multiple keywords are specified. The keywords are searched over all fulltext fields and unless there are other rules, a match is valid when the keywords are found in any of the fulltext fields.
So for example ‘search for something’ will give you a match on a document where ‘search’ and ‘for’ are find in ‘title’ field and ‘something’ in ‘content’ field.
Restricting the search to certain field(s) can be done with @ operator followed by the name of the field(s), for example @title search for something .
Most operators use keyword position relative to document and will give a positive match only if the keywords are found in same field, like proximity, phrase, fied-start/end,NEAR, strict order etc.
There are operators for which the keyword position has no influence, like boost operator, exact form modifier or qourum.
Manticore offers a powerful way to construct scoring formulas for the fulltext match.
There are several building rankers (predefined scoring formulas) with default been proximity_bm25 and custom expressions can be made using the 20+ ranking factors and attributes values if needed.
BM25 - an industry retrieval function that ranks the document based on the query terms appearances, it’s a per document factor IDF - inverse document frequency, a numeric statistic that reflect how important a word is to a document in the collection, it is used per field. The IDF values can be used by several ways (as sum, max etc.) LCS - longest common subsequence, in broad terms it gives the proximity (based on keyword positions). Beside the classic ‘lcs’, several derivates are available too. In addition to those, you can use counters on hits or words, boolean factors like exact hit or exact order and document attributes can be used too inside expressions.
Several pre-built ranker expressions are available: proximity_bm25, bm25, none, wordcount, proximity, matchany, sph04, expr (custom rankers) and export (same as expr, but stores for output the factor values). They can be changed using the OPTION statement, for example OPTION ranker=bm25.
The default proximity_bm25 can be written as custom ranker as OPTION ranker=expr('sum(lcs*user_weight)+bm25').
The user_weight relates to the boost per field, by default all fields are treated equal. For example if you have fields ‘title’ and ‘content’ you might want to give a boost to ‘title’ matching so you would set OPTION field_weights=(title=10, content=1).
The ranking score is relative to the query itself as long as it includes metrics that calculate distances between keywords or keywords/document frequencies. In these cases, the values of the score can differ a lot from query to query, so doing any kind of comparison between scores of different queries does not make sense.
Search engines don’t store text as it is. Instead they extract words and create several structures that allows fast full-text searching. From the found words, a dictionary is build, which allows a quick look to discover if the word is present or not in the index. In addition, other structures records the documents and fields in which the word was found (as well as position of it inside a field). All these are used when a full-text match is performed.
The process of demarcating and classifying words is called tokenization. The tokenization is applied at both indexing and searching and it operates at character and word level. On the character level, the engine allows only certain characters to pass, this is defined by the charset_table, anything else is replaced with a whitespace (which is considered the default word separator). The charset_table also allows mappings, for example lowercasing or simply replacing one character with another. Beside this, characters can be ignored, blended, defined as a phrase boundary. At the word level, the base setting is the min_word_len which defines the minimum word length in characters to be accepted in the index. A common request is to match singular with plural forms of words. For this, morphology processors can be used. Going further, we might want a word to be matched as another one - because they are synonyms. For this, the wordforms feature can be used, which allows one or more words to be mapped to another one. Very common words can have some unwanted effects on searching, mostly because of their frequency they require lots of computing to process their doc/hit lists. They can be blacklisted with the stopwords features. This helps not only on speeding queries, but also on decreasing index size. A more advanced blacklisting is bigrams, which allows creating a special token between a ‘bigram’ (common) word and an uncommon word. This can speed up several times when common words are used in phrase searches. In case of indexing HTML content, it’s desired to not index also the HTML tags, as they can introduce a lot of ‘noise’ in the index. HTML stripping can be used and can be configured to strip, but index certain tag attributes or completely ignore content of certain HTML elements.
Another common text search type is wildcard searching. Wildcard searching is performed at dictionary level. By default, both plain and RT indexes use a dictionary type called keywords . In this mode words are stored as they are, so the size of the index is not affected by enabling wildcarding. When a wildcard search is performed, in the dictionary a lookup is made to find all possible expansions of the wildcarded word. This expansion can be problematic in terms of computation at query time in cases where the expanded word can provide lot of expansions or expansions that have huge hitlists. The penalties are higher in case of infixes, where wildcard is added at the start and end of the words. Even more, usage the expand_keywords setting, which can apply automatically the stars to the input search terms, should be made with care.
The plain index also supports a crc dictionary type. With this type, words are not stored as they are, instead a control sum value of words is used. Indexing is much faster in this case compared to keywords mode. Since it would not be possible to do substring search on the CRCs, instead all possible substrings of the words (defined by min_prefix_len or min_infix_len) are also stored. This increase the index size several times when prefix/infix are enabled, but wildcard querying doesn’t suffer performance penalties as it doesn’t need to perform expansions like keywords dictionary. On indexes with crc dictionary it’s not possible to use QSUGGEST feature (since control sums are stored in index instead of actual words) and it’s not possible to convert to RealTime indexes (which only work with keywords dictionary).
One index may not be enough. When searching, only one search thread (that uses a cpu core) is used for a query.
Because of the size of the data or heavy computing queries, we would want to use more than a CPU core per query.
To do that, we need to split the index into several smaller indexes. One common way to split the data is to perform a modulo filtering on the document id (like sql_query = SELECT * FROM mytable where id % 4 = 0 [1,2,3]).
Having several indexes instead of one means now we can run multiple indexing operations in parallel.
Faster indexing comes with a cost: several CPU cores will be used instead of one, there is more pressure on the source (especially if you rebuild all the indexes at once) and multiple threads writing to disk can overload your storage ( you can limit the impact of IO on storage with max_iops and max_iosize directives).
one is to simply enumerate them in the query, like SELECT * FROM index0,index1,index2,index3 . dist_threads >1 can be used for multi-core processing.
using a local distributed index and dist_threads > 1 (for multi-core processing).
Manticore Search supports grouping by multiple columns or computed expressions. Results can be sorted inside a group with WITHIN GROUP ORDER BY. A particular feature is returning more than one row per group, by using GROUP n BY. Grouping also supports HAVING clause, GROUP_CONCAT and aggregation functions. Manticore Search also supports faceting, which in essence is a set of group by applied on the same result set.
In return you get a multiple result set, where the first is the result set of the query and the rest are the facet results.
GEODIST function can be used to calculate distance between 2 geo coordinates. The result can be used for sorting.
In addition, polygon calculation can be made, including geo polygon that takes into account Earth’s curvature.
Manticore Search also supports math, date and aggregation functions which are documented at Expressions, functions, and operators. Special functions ALL() and ANY() can be used to test elements in an array from a JSON attribute or MVA.
Highlighting allows to get a list of fragments from documents (called snippets) which contain the matches. The snippets are used to improve the readability of search results to end users. Snippeting can be made with the CALL SNIPPETS statement. The function needs the texts that will be highlighted, the index used (for it’s tokenization settings), the query used and optionally a number of settings can be applied to tweak the operation.
CALL KEYWORDS provides a way to check how keywords are tokenized or to retrieve the tokenized forms of particular keywords..
Beside debug/testing, CALL KEYWORDS can be used for transliteration. For example we can have a template index which maps characters from cyrillic to latin. We can use CALL KEYWORDS to get the latin form of a word written in cyrillic.
CALL SUGGEST enabled getting suggestions or corrections of a given words. This is useful to implement ‘did you mean …’ functionality.
CALL SUGGEST requires an index with full wildcarding (infixing) enabled. Suggestion is based on the index dictionary and uses Levenshtein distance. Several options are available to allow tweaking and the output provide, beside distance, a document count for each word. In case at input there is more than one word, CALL SUGGEST will only process the first word, while CALL QSUGGEST will only process the last word and ignore the rest.
The regular workflow is store index document and match against them a query. However, sometimes it’s desired to check if new content matches an existing set of queries. Running the queries over the index each time a document is added can be inefficient. Instead, it would be faster if queries were stored in a index and the new documents are tested against the stored queries. Also called inverse search, this is used for for signaling in monitoring systems or news aggregation.
For this, a special index is used called percolate , which is similar with a RealTime index. The queries are stored in a percolate index and CALL PQ can test one or more documents if they match against the stored queries.
To debug and understand why a search is slow, information is provided by commands SHOW PROFILE, SHOW PLAN and SHOW META.
Tokenization and search expression can have a big impact on the search speed. They can generate requesting a lot of data from index components and/or require heavy computation (like merging big lists of hits). An example is using wildcarding on very short words, like 1-2 characters.
An index is not fully loaded by default into memory. Only several components are, such as dictionary or attributes (which can be set to not be loaded). The rest will be loaded when queries are made.
Operating systems will cache read files from the storage. If there is plenty of RAM, an index can be cached enterily as searches are made. If the index is not cached, a slow storage will impact searches. Also, the load time of an index is influenced by how fast components can be loaded into RAM. For small indexes this is not a problem, but in case of huge indexes it can take minutes until an index is ready for searches.
Queries can also be CPU-bound. This is because index is too big or it’s settings or search perform heavy computation. If an index grows big, it should be split to allow multi-core searching as explained in previous guide.
If we talk about big data, one server may not be enough and we need to spread our indexes over more than one server. Servers should be as close as possible (at least same data center), as the network latencies between master and nodes will affect the query performance.

Cash and cash equivalents were $204.6 million at June 30, 2017. Total cash(C) was $210.5 million at the end of the current quarter.
During the second quarter 2017, we repurchased and retired $4.6 million in principal of the 8.125% notes due in 2018.
Shipping revenues were $96.2 million for the quarter, down 18.7% compared with the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in shipping revenues was also driven by lower charter rates. TCE revenues for the second quarter of 2017 were $91.1 million, a decrease of $23.7 million, or 20.6%, compared with the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower average daily rates earned. Shipping revenue for the first half of 2017 were $204.3 million, a decrease of $29.1 million compared to the first half of 2016. TCE revenues for the first half of 2017 were $193.4 million, a decrease of $33.6 million compared to the first half of 2016.
Operating income for the second quarter of 2017 was $14.2 million, compared to operating income of $23.0 million in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease reflected reduced operating expense, including depreciation and amortization expense, and lower general and administrative expenses, which partially offset the decline in shipping revenues. Operating income for the first half of 2017 was $33.5 million, a decrease of $6.9 million compared to the first half of 2016.
Income from continuing operations for the current period second quarter was $3.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $4.2 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, for the second quarter 2016. The increase reflects a lower tax provision in the second quarter of 2017 compared to 2016. In the prior year period, a deferred tax liability on the unremitted earnings of INSW was recorded, resulting in an income tax provision of $15.1 million, compared to tax expense of $1.6 million in the 2017 period. In addition, interest expense decreased by $1.4 million in the current period as the result of significant debt reductions in the current and prior year periods.
Income from continuing operations for the first half of 2017 was $8.6 million compared with a loss from continuing operations of $12.9 million for the first half of 2016. The increase reflects a lower tax provision in the first half of 2017 compared to 2016. In the prior period, a deferred tax liability on the unremitted earnings of INSW was recorded, resulting in an income tax provision of $48.3 million, compared to tax expense of $5.2 million in the 2017 period.
Adjusted EBITDA(B), a non-GAAP measure, was $29.6 million for the quarter, a decrease of $16.4 million or 35.6% compared with the second quarter of 2016, driven primarily by the decline in TCE revenues, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2017 was $65.7 million, a decrease of $21.0 million or 24.2% compared with the first half of 2016.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, the assets and liabilities and results of operations of INSW are reported as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

This release contains forward-looking statements as defined under the federal securities laws. Words such as “may”, “should”, ”believes”, “estimates”, “targets”, “anticipates” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements; however, statements other than statements of historical facts should be considered forward-looking statements. These matters or statements may relate to the Company’s prospects, its ability to retain and effectively integrate new members of management and the effect of the Company’s spin-off of International Seaways, Inc. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current plans, estimates and projections, and are subject to change based on a number of factors. The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ: the reduced diversification and heightened exposure to the Jones Act market of OSG’s business following the spin-off from OSG on November 30, 2016 of International Seaways, Inc. (INSW), which owned or leased OSG’s fleet of International Flag vessels, which may make OSG more susceptible to market fluctuations than before such spin-off; the highly cyclical nature of OSG’s industry; fluctuations in the market value of vessels; declines in charter rates, including spot charter rates or other market deterioration; an increase in the supply of vessels without a commensurate increase in demand; the impact of adverse weather and natural disasters; the adequacy of OSG’s insurance to cover its losses, including in connection with maritime accidents or spill events; constraints on capital availability; the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to service its indebtedness and to comply with debt covenants; the Company’s ability to renew its time charters when they expire or to enter into new time charters; competition within the Company’s industry and OSG’s ability to compete effectively for charters; the loss of a large customer; and changes in demand in specialized markets in which the Company currently trades. Investors should also carefully consider the risk factors outlined in more detail in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for OSG and in similar sections of other filings made by the Company with the SEC from time to time. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements and written and oral forward looking statements attributable to the Company or its representatives after the date of this release are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this paragraph and in other reports previously or hereafter filed by the Company with the SEC.
A, B Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables attached to this press release starting on Page 8.

“If spring is the cruellest season – or at least April the cruellest month (an idea to which I don’t subscribe, actually), autumn must be the kindest. At home the garden is full of colour still – nasturtia(ums), marigolds, those madonna-blue cranesbill gerania(ums). It’s also full of hornets – despite a couple of really quite heavy frosts they are resisting the natural order of things, and refusing to die. This means we can’t actually get into our lean-to to refuel.
Our pumpkin harvest is in.
So, too, is the pumpkin harvest at the National Trust’s Greenway, where I’m writer-in-residence till the end of this month. With the help of my co-conspirator, Carly, the closest I’ve ever had to a line manager, and both creative in her thinking and indefatigable even when ill in her help, I created a pumpkin trail for schoolchildren for half term.
– and had to find and fill in the lost words (which were: spinning shower strewn wide harvests pumpkin month chestnut bounty).
I came up with another 70 words related to autumn a few of which were posted beside each pumpkin. The children were asked to collect a few to write on paper leaves (that’s what are in the basket Carly’s holding), and when they’d completed both tasks to come to the bandstand, which Carly had filled with all manner of creative things, so that they could make new poems with me and then decorate a craft pumpkin with their poem and accessories.
We had a mad rush at the end of the morning with children dressed in all sorts of Hallowe’en wear coming back with the words to shape and craft into something pretty, or scary, depending on individual whim.
This was followed by a turnaround time for me of about 20 minutes to swallow a half sandwich and get my head into gear from thinking children’s poems to adults’ fiction writing for an afternoon of the second of the novel-writing sessions I’m teaching at Greenway.
Just a few days later and I’m back, this time to create another poetry trail, predominantly I suppose for adults, in the garden.
‘Autumn isn’t a season of decline. It’s a season of furious activity by trees, the opposite of the slow windings-down of senility or hibernation. Leaves are probably shed to help hardwood trees reduce water loss during the winter months, when cold ground water doesn’t easily enter the roots. But leaf-fall also provides an opportunity for trees to get rid of waste products built up over the year, including toxins absorbed from the soil. In some cases, the level of poisonous metals in leaves increases a thousandfold just before they’re shed.’ [Makes me wonder about the wisdom of putting leaf mulch on food plants.] ‘At the same time the tree is breaking down chlorophyll and sugars in its leaves and withdrawing them into its woody parts, conserving them. When the green goes, what is left are the brightly-coloured carotinoids – orange and brown and yellow anti-oxidant chemicals similar to those that make tomatoes red – which are believed to bind with toxins. This flurry of chemical activity is stressful for the leaves, and to protect them during the crucial transfer of chlorophyll many trees synthesise yet another anti-oxidant, the bright red anthocyanin. The final mix of all these pigments, and the tints of specific trees in a particular autumn, depend on factors such as summer sunshine, soil drainage, early frosts.

3 French female artists at the Fairway Galle Lit. Fest.
Three French artists will participate in the Fairway Galle Literary Festival 2018: the photographer Marie-Caroline Senlis, the writer Maylis de Kerangal and, through her film, the film director Dominique Cabrera.
Since its launch in 2007, the festival has become one of the most important literary events in South Asia for both authors and literary fans around the world. The festival is celebrated every year around the historic Dutch Fort of Galle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
FOCUS on January 25th, the imagination of those three women will be showcased around a series of cultural events within the heart of the fort.
Through this new collection of black and white silver gelatin photographs, hand painted with ink, Marie-Caroline Senlis offers a poetic vision of the environment that surrounds us; it is a way to depict the beauty and majesty of nature and thus an invitation to let the spirit wander.
At first, there is Chinese painting and its spring flowers, and also the former color photographs, which were black and white photos painted with color inks. These painted photos were in vogue in Asia for a long time. In Sri Lanka, vegetation is dense, very green. In the middle of all these greens, another color occasionally springs, flower or fruit.

Lake County has been chosen to participate in a pilot project aimed at reducing the demand on detention centers while ensuring criminal defendants make their court appearances. Lake County Chief Deputy Attorney James Lapotka says the 2017 Legislature established an evidence-based risk assessment program for managing defendants who are released awaiting trial.
The pilot project, which includes Missoula, Butte Silver-Bow, Yellowstone and Lewis and Clark Counties is funded with $800,000, according to Lapotka. He says Lake County’s share is $130,000. The project is slated to run through July 2019. Lapotka says after that time data will be collected and presented to the Montana State Legislature. If the data shows positive results the project could be extended to other counties and possibly across the state. Lapotka says the pretrial supervision program has proven successful in other western states and is catching on nationally.
The PSA, and the Montana pretrial supervision model was developed by a Montana team of prosecutors, public defenders, court officials and law enforcement personnel.
According to information provided by the Montana Judicial Branch and released to the media through the Lake County Attorney’s office, the PSA was created by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. It is considered to be the “gold standard” for aiding judges in making evidence-based decisions about release and release conditions.
More information about the PSA is available at: www.arnoldfoundation.org.
Lake County has been under pressure to deal with an overcrowded jail and lack of courtroom space for quite awhile. The courthouse was supposed to have been expanded when the second department of the 20th judicial district (Kim Christopher’s seat) was created by the state legislature. The late Judge CB McNeil issued an order directing the Lake County Commissioners to do so before he retired.
