Ok, so here’s the rest (sorta) of the scene I posted the other night. Honestly my brain is happy and has shelved this story in liu of finishing Zander so I can get the timeline written up to this story. I could, I suppose, write on, I know what happens, and it doesn’t mess too badly with spoilering things, but I’ll have to think about it. Anyways, here’s the first bit over here if you need to have a refresher. Okay, ready?
The song seeped into his mind, telling of ages past, long gone times. The shadows on the ceiling of the cave flickered and danced. He frowned, blinking. How long had he been staring?
“I have got to stop doing this.” He muttered, trying to push himself up.
“Nit, nit! Hoynia ei zi!” Hands pushed him back and he found himself staring up at large green eyes peering from beneath filthy hair.
The woman, the singer. She turned her head towards the fire, reaching for something out of his vision, and he saw the elegant double tips of her ear. Rahaun. She was rahaun. She turned back to him, holding a small salve jar. She spoke again, gesturing toward him. Her hair, her face were filthy, her hands were clean, slender and scarred. She dipped a finger into the jar and it came out covered in a dark brown cream. He held up a hand and shook his head. She said something and his hand was brushed aside. Wherever she touched, numbing cool spread, the burning and itching he’d grown used to, stopped.
She spoke as she smeared it, going down his neck and shoulder. He belatedly realized his clothes were gone, a covering spread over his lower half. He wanted to ask where his things were, but he was growing tired. He closed his eyes, feeling the pain ease away, the woman began to sing again, low and haunting, words that made no sense.
It was dark when he woke again, his body aching and skin burning. He pushed himself up slowly, looking around. The fire had died down to embers. In front of it, curled up under a ragged looking blanket, was the woman. They were in a small cave. Against the wall was a stack of something, he couldn’t tell what. It wasn’t wood, he wondered how she’d managed to get a fire going. What was she using for fuel?
His things were stacked neatly beside him, the orb on top. He glanced back at the woman, then around the cave. The tunnel leading off behind him appeared to be the the only way in and out. He pushed aside the coarse blanket and pulled on his pants, leaning against the cave wall to rest. It was infuriating, the act of getting dressed made him dizzy. He leaned over, intending to pick up his tunic and found himself sitting, blinking. He pressed his palm to his forehead.
A jaw-breaking sentence rattled off and he looked over. The woman was watching him, shaking her head.
“I don’t understand you.” He said, fearing it came out as a groan. Eyes narrowed and she moved over to him at a crouch, saying something else. A different language, vaguely familiar, but still incomprehensible.
He shook his head again, flinching when she touched his face. She was looking back and forth between the burn and the other side of his face. She said something, an inquiry.
“I stepped between my friend and a fireball.” He spoke in high rahaun, hoping the ancient language was one she’d recognize. She tipped her head to one side, eyes narrowing.
“Fire-ball?” The words were thick, accent heavy. He nodded half grinning.
She blinked several times and nodded. “Is old speech. Am out of practice.” Her voice was rough.
“What’s your name?” He spoke slow, watching her face. She frowned again, looking away, whispering something in another language, and looked back at him.
“It’s not the first time.” He said dryly. He should just avoid high places all together.
“Then, it probably won’t be the last.” She skampered on all fours, animal like, over to a stack of things, then returned with the jar. He shook his head, held up his hand.
“You hurt.” She batted his hand aside and lathered the concoction over the burn.
“What is in that stuff.” He asked, the blessed numbing of his face enabled the other aches and pains to rear their heads.
She didn’t answer, her lips moved though no sound came out. She finished applying the salve then pointed at the mat he’d been sleeping on.
She blinked, moving back towards the fire and tossed something wide onto the embers. It flared up, casting shadows over the cave. A clumped strand of hair hung over her face.
“No escape. No way out.” She moved, skittering out of the cave, disappearing into the looming dim tunnel.

After experiencing many personal struggles and chronic illnesses, Juliu Horvath spent many years in self-exploration and study. These experiences not only led him to true healing, but he was also inspired to create movement principles that offer the same benefits also found in yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai chi, but are not derived from these other exercise modalities.
Some of the hallmarks of GYROKINESIS® exercises are the fluidity of the movements and the ease with which one can perform them.
GYROKINESIS® exercises allow one to work on the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement: forward, backward, left side, right side, left twist, right twist and circular, as well as all other joint articulation. This approach systematically and gently works the joints and muscles through rhythmic and undulating movements. These movements stimulate the body's internal organs while different corresponding breathing patterns are integrated along with the movements.
A typical GYROKINESIS® class begins with participants practicing self-massage and simple breathing patterns, something Juliu Horvath has named, "Awakening of the Senses." Then the spine and pelvis are engaged through simple exercises: while seated on low stools, participants mobilize the spine through a series of arching, curling, bending, twisting and spiraling movements. These same movement patterns are expanded to release the hip, knee, hamstring, quadriceps and so on, in all possible directions: front, back, twisting and turning. The corresponding breathing patterns executed during every movement stimulate the nervous system, open up the energy pathways and oxygenate the blood. The more advanced classes offer endurance training to participants prepared for more strenuous activities. All GYROKINESIS® classes, from beginner to advanced, encompass not only sitting but also lying and standing positions.

The appellate court considered the testimony presented at trial. First, the court considered the testimony of a local sheriff who testified that it was common practice for drivers of large trucks, or their employers, to call him in advance of the crossing and arrange for him to officially close down the road. The truck driver also testified. Specifically, he told the court that it was his normal practice to have someone close down the road for him, but that individual was not always the sheriff. In fact, it was his preference to have someone else close down the road. This time, his employer planned to close down the road.
On the day in question, however, the accident victim had been allowed to enter the bridge despite the employer having “closed” it. As the motorist approached the middle of the bridge, the truck saw the motorist’s vehicle and tried to move over as much as possible to make room. However, there was insufficient space, the equipment on the back of the truck struck the side of the bridge, and the equipment came loose, crashing into the motorist’s car.
Ultimately, the court explained that there was enough evidence presented at trial for the jury to find that there was a duty of care owed by the employer to the passing motorist. As a result, the man’s wife will be entitled to the $3 million award.
If you or a loved one has recently been injured in any kind of Indiana truck accident, you may be entitled to monetary compensation to help you recover the costs you incurred as a result of the accident. In some cases, a truck driver’s employer may also be liable. This generally is the case where the there was a failure to train the driver, or the truck driver was negligent while performing the duties for which he is employed. Alternatively, as was the case above, the employer may be independently liable. To learn more, contact a dedicated Indiana personal injury attorney at Parr Richey Frandsen Patterson Kruse at 888-532-7766 to set up a free consultation.

ASICUS (ASCICUS, TASSACH), one of St. Patrick’s (17th March) earliest disciples, St. Asicus was renowned as an excellent coppersmith. St. Patrick made him Abbot-Bishop of Elphin, Co. Roscommon, Ireland, where he is venerated as patron saint. St. Asicus lived to an advanced age, spending the last years of his life as a hermit, and reposed circa 500.
ENODER (CYNIDR, KENEDR, QUIDIC), A grandson of the great Welsh chieftain St. Brychan of Brycheiniog (6th April), St. Enoder is listed as an Abbot in the martyrologies, though we do not know of what monastery. Llangynidr in Powys in Wales, and Kenderchurch in Herefordshire, England are named for him, as are most likely St. Enoder or Enodoc in Cornwall.
FLORIBERT, the son of St. Hubert (3rd November), and his successor as Bishop of Liège (Belgium). St. Floribert reposed in 746.
LIBERALIS, a priest from the area near Ancona in the Marches of present-day Italy. Nothing is known of his life beyond his fruitful work to bring Arians to orthodox Christianity, and the suffering he endured for this. St. Liberalis reposed circa 400 and his relics are enshrined at Treviso, Italy.
TERTULLIAN, a Bishop of Bologna, Italy, who reposed circa 490.
THEOPHILUS, the successor of St. Gaudentius (25th October) as Bishop of Brescia in Portugal. St. Theophilus reposed circa 427.
WINEWALD, the second Abbot of Beverley Abbey, in present-day East Yorkshire, England. St. Winewald succeeded St. Bercthun (15th May) to that post. He appears to have been successful in his efforts to make Beverley a centre of spiritual and cultural growth. St. Winewald reposed circa 731.

Today in 1972, Molly Parker was born.
We've always been big fans and you are, too -- you just haven't thought it through as hard. From Highlander to Deadwood to the deeply odd 9th Life of Louis Drax, and we're pretty excited about her upcoming role as Maureen Robinson in Netflix's Lost in Space.
Also, Kissed, in which she gets intimate with corpses. It's actually quite romantic.
Also, let's not forget The Wicker Man.
Happy Birthday, Molly! From all of us here at Syfy Wire.
Today is also World Blood Donor Day.
In 2004, The World Health Organization designated June 14 as a day to raise awareness of the importance of donating blood. And also to say thank you to donors. If you're looking for a place to save a life or two, check out your local donation sites via Red Cross.

The documentation below is essentially a set of step by step instructions on how to operate the software. For auditory and visual learners, youtube video tutorials will be included among the written instructions. ET_Redux is sponsored by EARTHTIME and funded in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant Numbers 0930223 and 1443037. Any opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Once you have obtained your SESAR ID you can use this to register a sample. Your sample will be given a unique IGSN number. ET_Redux uses the IGSN as a source for metadata. You can now pull all of the metadata from SESAR to process the sample and ET_Redux can upload the data processing into Geochron - selecting public will make the samples viewable on a map. This functionality will allow samples to be viewable throughout the world.
Visit geochron.org to start the sign up process. Click on “My Account” to be directed to a login page. If you do not already have an account, click the “Sign up now!” link below the login form. Fill in the necessary fields and press the “Submit Registration” button. You will recieve a confirmation email with a link to confirm your account.
Remember your username and password. This login information will be needed while using ET_Redux.
Some systems will allow you to run a .jar file with the GUI simply by navigating to the file’s home directory and double clicking it.
Learn more about using a command line here.
Note: This command should work for all operating systems.
The following goes through some basic methods and procedures for opening/starting a new project in ET_Redux.
To start, click “Project” in the top left corner.
Then click “New Project” from Raw Data.
Click “LA-ICP-MS”. Note that IDTIMS raw data is currently processed by our software Tripoli.
Finally, click “Prepare to load/Process Raw Data.” Then, depending on your file handling protocol you will be able to select your data file or data folder and then click “Open” to show the parameters manager. If you use folders, be sure that all necessary files are present.
Confirm that all parameters are correct - the defaults are shown initially.
Full Uncertainty propagation is the default - use the fast option to explore datasets only.
Select your Primary Reference Material. Note the default is set in the Lab Settings Manager.
Now you are ready to start the reduction process. You can either start a live session while the mass spectrometer is producing data or proceed to reduce an already-collected dataset as explained below.
Start with the default “Intercept” method tab.
Review the reference materials to make sure ratios are within acceptable rages. It will be very clear when an analysis is bad. You will either see a very large scatter in data points or the fit line will be far off the data points. Be sure to select the appropriate fit functions on a ratio-by-ratio basis, or even for each graph.
The time-based session views for each ratio plot the reference materials and their 1-sigma absolute uncertainties in black and over-dispersion of uncertainties in red, if calculated. Each session can be fitted with a choice of mean, line, exponential or spline functions.
To remove a data point for a reference material, hover over the black dot and right click. You will be asked to “exclude this fraction”, click on it and the black dot will change to red indicating it has been removed.
Once you have removed all unwanted data points you MUST click “Refit” on the left update the plot and MSWD.
Next, click “Fit Unknowns” and evaluate each fraction and ratio for the unknowns and the secondary reference materials, which are also treated as unkowns.
When you are happy with your fits, to complete your reduction click “Update Report Table”, which will remain grayed out until it finishes and then returns to the color white.
Return to the main window showing the data table and click “Sample Dates” in the bottom right to launch the sample date manager with the concordia, weighted means, and PDF plots and views.
Once the live data monitor is launched you will have to wait for at least 3-4 analysis to be recorded by the mass spectrometer software and processed by ET_Redux before seeing any data.
To reject an analysis, right click on the selected fraction name in the report table located in the bottom portion of the manager and it will be sent to the rejected fractions tab but will still be reduced.
To look at individual samples (Reference Materials or Unknowns), double click on the project name in the panel to the left of the concordia, and a drop down menu will show all available groups to view on Concordia and on the PDF. Note that the reference materials both primary and secondary will not appear in the PDF view.
To set filters for percent discordance and percent uncertainty, adjust the sliders in the panel under the PDF. To apply them to the Concordia plot, select “apply filters” checkbox under the Concordia. To set the sliders to the default values specified in the lab data manager, click “Default”, and to clear the filters, click “Clear”.
To change what dates are shown on the PDF, select one of the three dates (6/8, 6/7, or best date). We suggest the best date option.
Best date filter can be changed while you are looking at unknowns in Concordia space by sliding the blue best date handle on the vertical axis.
When a fraction is removed be patient as it will take until the next primary reference material fraction to update the session.
Wait until the run has completed and proceed to Project Raw Data Manager (see below).
Run ET_Redux and you will be presented with a welcome screen. Click “Open Sample” at the bottom of the window. You will be prompted to select a Redux sample file. Browse to where you placed the unzipped synthetic data. Select a file with the .redux extension in CM/CM_Redux/. A table containing your data will appear on the screen. From here you can view graphs and generate concordia graphs.
The Workflow Manager can be accessed by clicking Sample in the top menu of ET_Redux. You will be presented with several options for creating and editing a sample. To create a new sample, click New Sample Analysis for ID-TIMS. This opens the Workflow Manager for a new sample.
After you have loaded data for a sample, you can use ET_Redux’s tools for interpretation of the geochronological data. ET_Redux supports data reduction and interrogation of new U-Pb analyses. You can organize the data reduction using specialized managers for lab data, aliquots, fractions and sample dates.
To change the name of your sample input the desired name into the Local Sample Name box.
To specify the IGSN, select the registry from the Registry drop down menu and input the ID into the Sample ID box. Click the button to the right of where you input the ID to validate the registry.
At the main menu, click “Sample” and then click “New Sample Analysis for ID-TIMS” to launch the ID-TIMS Workflow Manager for ANALYSIS MODE of a Sample. Here you will find all you need in creating and adding aliquots. You can always return to this window by clicking the “Manage Sample” menu item under the main menu “Sample”.
Name your sample using the Local Sample Name dialog box and provide the “IGSN”. SESAR is the default registry to date.
Select the “Analysis Purpose” and the “Phsyical Constants Model”.
To create a new aliquot, start by typing in a descriptive name, such as “zircon”, into the Aliquot Name dialog box. For each aliquot, provide the name and then click “Add Name” to add the aliquot to the left-hand list. Once this list is populated with the names of the aliquots, clicking each name sets up the next step of either manually “inserting fractions” or “importing a folder of fractions” (click on Import Fraction Files), which consists of XML files produced by Tripoli or similar software. These XML files must conform to the schema found here.
For an example - open up CM2 and find the folder zircon. Here you will find a multitude of xml files that have been exported from Tripoli. They come in pairs of lead and uranium. Open both of the files the lead and uranium. (z10 for example. ) It will populate one line of the fraction. One row is one fraction.
Fractions and aliquots may be removed using the appropriate buttons. If importing is done, the default fraction should be removed.
For each fraction of each aliquot complete the entries in the interactive data table at the bottom of the window.
For manual update, Click “Close and Save” button.
For Live Workflow, be sure to set the following parameters before clicking “Close and Save” button.
Use the Aliquot Manager to organize the input parameters for the fractions in an aliquot, collate notes and metadata about the aliquot, and archive the reduced data to a database. To access the Aliquot Manager, click Aliquots and select the aliquot you would like to view or just click the aliquot’s name in the main window. The Aliquot manager will open in a new window. The Aliquot Manager has five tabs situated near the bottom of the window.
To add an aliquot to your sample, type the name of the aliquot in the Aliquot Name box and click Add Name. This will add your aliquot to your sample’s aliquot list. You can select an aliquot from that list to edit or remove it. If you ever want to change the name of an aliquot, select it from the list, change the name in the Add Name box, and click Save Edited.
Select an aliquot from the sample’s aliquot list. Then click Import Fraction Files and navigate to your sample’s fraction files which are saved as XML documents. You can import multiple fractions at a time by holding CTRL and clicking the files.
Click Add Name to add the new aliquot. Increment the counter below to change the number of fractions it contains (you can add more at any time). Press Insert Fraction to add more fractions.
Order the fractions in the data table with the arrows to the left. After entering the required information for each fraction, press “SaveAs Sample”. Navigate to the desired location, then create a new folder for your sample before saving the .redux file inside. SaveAs Sample controls the name and location of where you are saving - use “Close and Save” to save and close out of the project.
The Fraction Notes tab displays a concatinated list of the fractions in the aliquot and their corresponsing notes.
The Fraction Archiving Details tab allows you to edit the archiving details of your fractions.
The References, Metadata and Consistency tab allows you to edit the references and metadata for your aliquot.
The Archive Aliquot to Database tab allows you to archive your aliquot to a database using its IGSN number which you set with the Sample Manager.
The Fraction Manager provides detailed information about each paired U-Pb analysis organized into tabs. These tabs, situated at the bottom of the fraction manager, include Pb Data, U Data, Tracer, Corrections, Pb Blank, Initial Pb, Reports, Archiving Details, and Kwiki.
The Live Workflow mode establishes a direct link between Tripoli and ET_Redux. To enable Live Workflow, you must create a folder called “SampleMetaData” and then click the Set SampleMetaData Folder button. Tripoli must also be told the location of this SampleMetaData folder. In Tripoli, point to this SampleMetaData folder with the Set Live Workflow Data Folder item from the Control Panel menu. Clicking the START Live Workflow button at the bottom of ET_Redux’s main screen immediately imports data from Tripoli and prompts ET_Redux to update its calculations.
The most informative tab of the fraction manager is the Kwiki tab. The left-hand panel of the Kwiki tab is a table with a row for each input parameter. The columns display the name, value, and uncertainty of the input reduction parameter. The values and their uncertainties are displayed with miniature sliders. As you adjust the sliders the data is rereduced and the changes are reflected in the three other data panels. The sliders are intended for hypothesis testing and data exploration only. All changes are temporary and will be reset upon exiting the Kwiki tab.
The top center panel of the Kwiki tab displays important data reduction parameters such as how the analysis is apportioned between laboratory blank, initial common Pb, and parent or daughter Pb or U. These values change in response to the value sliders.
The top right panel is a U-Pb concordia plot that displays uncertainty ellipses for fractions in the aliquot. The current fraction’s ellipse will be highlighted. This ellipse responds to movement of the value and uncertainty sliders in real time. You can navigate the concordia plot by panning and zooming with the mouse or by using conventional navigation tools in the control panel to the left which also contains a toolbox for manipulating the uncertainty contributions and viewed corrections.
The bottom panel shows the three calculated dates for the fraction, their uncertainties, and a graphical breakdown of each date’s variance by the contribution from each input parameter. These graphs respond to both value sliders and uncertainty sliders.
The Kwiki tab provides a live view of the data reduction progress in Live Workflow mode while Tripoli is updating data for ET_Redux in real time.
The Pb Data and U Data tabs provide a view of the input ratios and their uncertainties. You can compose fraction-specific notes and see the file path of the imported data. On the U Data tab, you can also enter an estimated date, uncertainty, and U fractionation magnitude to estimate U isotope ratios for visualization in the Kwiki tab before the U measurement is made.
The Tracer tab displays the isotopic composition and U/pb ration of the selected tracer defined data model, as well as the mass of tracer added to the selection fraction and its uncertainty. This tracer may be imported from Tripoli, or chosen from the dropdown list at the top of the tab.
The Corrections tab displays information about Pb and U fractionation corrections, oxide correction, and U sample components. The magnitude of the fractionation correction applied to Pb and U measurements are shown. One of four possible techniques is used to determine the correction as signified by a red box.
Oxide correction parameters for uranium oxide analyses are displayed in the middle of the Corrections tab. Tripoli performs oxide corrections automatically, but ET_Redux allows you to recorrect the data by supplying a different 18O/16O from the value used by Tripoli and to specify the uncertainty.
The Pb Blank Tab shows the details of the selected laboratory Pb blank defined data model.
Use a common Pb ore evolution model.
Select a custom defined data model.
The Archiving Details tab serves as the preparation portal for each fraction to be archived as part of the aliquot. Annotations about the fractions are made here. Also, you may upload an image of the fraction and record your comments.
Click Sample in the main menu, and then click New Compilation of Aliquots into a “Super-Sample” File.
Name your compilation sample then select Import one or more Aliquots from Geochron.org database.
Input your Geochron username (email) and password.
Press Proceed to Aliquot Chooser.
Input one or more Aliquot IGSN from Geochron.
The Reports menu gives the user control over ET_Redux’s data table through the reports settings model. The reports setting menu title will change in response to the isotope system as, for example, ‘UPb Reports’ and ‘UTh Reports’. ET_Redux allows the user to customize and save report settings models as XML files that can be applied to and saved with any ET_Redux data set, shared with other users, and used to format data tables downloaded as aliquots from GeoChron.org on our Android mobile app CHRONI.
The data table is organized by categories that each have columns. For example the category ‘Dates’ includes columns for date ‘206Pb/238U’ and its associated uncertainty. Other categories currently available include Fraction, PbcCorr (Common lead corrected) Dates, Composition, Isotopic Ratios, PbcCorr Isotopic Ratios, Correlation Coefficients, and Trace Elements. Customized footnotes are automatically generated and kept in alphabetical order from left to right. The rows are organized by aliquots, which contain one fraction or analysis per row.
A file containing all the inputs, intermediate variables, outputs, and their uncertainties.
A file containing all of the covarience and Jacobian matrices used in the uncertainty propagation algorithms.
The Report Settings Manager is available as the first item under the Reports menu. The manager allows the user to customize the data tables produced by ET_Redux by choosing and ordering the categories, and choosing and ordering the columns within each category. To hide or show a single category or column, double-click it or use the hide/show button. The show ALL or hide ALL buttons hide or show all of the elements at once. Each column can be customized relative to whether significant digits are used to format the numerical entries in the table. Units of Ma or Ka are available for the Dates category.
The next two options on the Reports menu provide for Saving and Loading customized report settings as XML (extensible markup language) files. The schema for report settings can be found here for those readers interested in the details. A note to users - from time-to-time the schema change to accommodate new features and may require re-customization of reports.
ET_Redux supports saving default report settings to customize your use of the software. You can specify any saved report settings XML file as your default or use the EARTHTIME recommended default.
Finally, you can export data table reports as PDF, SVG, Excel, or CSV files.
From the Lab Data Manager you can import, create, and manage defined data models of data reduction parameters, such as for tracers, Pb and U fractionation, laboratory Pb blank and initial common Pb isotopic compositions, physical constants, mineral standards, and rare earth elements. ET_Redux saves the selected models with each sample file so they are available to anyone using ET_Redux to access the file. Just select Lab Data from the top menu of ET_Redux to manage your data models.

Ask an Expert: Can the flu lead to such a disease?
Can the flu lead to such a disease?
I have two friends that have recently been diagnosed with autoimmune diseases; one has been diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, and the other has not had a name put to her diagnosis as yet. Both friends, not in physical contact with each other at that period, had flu symptoms just before they contracted the disease(s). Are flu symptoms a precursor to autoimmune diseases and/or can the flu lead to such a disease?
With Myasthenia Gravis, there is an autoimmune trigger within the body (thymus pathology) that is often the driving factor in the autoimmune attack of myasthenia gravis.
I say this because in the large majority of cases of Myasthenia Gravis, thymus hyperplasia or a thymoma is found. This is not to say that it is impossible for a viral infection in rare circumstances to trigger the disease. It has not been identified as a strong factor.
As mentioned, viral infections can often worsen myasthenia gravis in patients who already have the disease. Hope this information helps.

"Field of Screams, Part 2"
"Field of Screams, Part 1", known as "Cronos VS Vampire Camula" in the Japanese version, is the thirty-first episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. It first aired in Japan on May 4, 2005 and in the United States on February 1, 2006.
The second of the Shadow Riders, Camula reveals herself, as a castle rises from the lake. She is opposed by Dr. Crowler.
A small boat is floating in the ocean near Duel Academy. In it is a coffin, which opens to reveal a female vampire. Jaden Yuki awakens in the infirmary while recovering from his Shadow Game with Nightshroud, and its revealed that the previous scene was a dream of his. He asks how Alexis' brother is, and Nurse Fontaine tells him that he's still unconscious, but should be fine. Jaden's dream appears to have really been a vision of a current event, as the vampire releases a horde of bats, vowing not to be defeated as Nightshroud was. Rumors soon being circulating about the presence of the vampire, and Chancellor Sheppard warns the holders of the Spirit Keys to be on their guard. Chazz Princeton, Bastion Misawa and Zane Truesdale all attempt to prepare themselves for the imminent confrontation, but are unaware that each is being spied on by a bat, who then relay the contents of each of their Decks to the vampire. Dr. Crowler is skeptical, while Professor Banner hangs numerous cloves of garlic from the ceiling of his room. The bats report back to the vampire, and she selects Zane as her first target, appearing to find him quite attractive.
Camula with "Vampire Bat" and "Zombie Werewolf".
Chumley Huffington later reports he saw the vampire down at the lake, and all of the key holders besides Jaden and Alexis Rhodes gather there. A red carpet is rolled out above the water, and Chazz, Zane and Bastion deliberate who will Duel first. Crowler and Banner both slink backwards, not wishing to Duel, though the bump into each other, and Crowler jumps forwards. Under the impression that he is volunteering, the others agree with the choice. He eventually agrees, and Chumley runs to the infirmary to inform Jaden, Alexis and Syrus Truesdale. The vampire finally approaches them from down the red carpet, but appears disappointed that her opponent isn't Zane. She introduces herself as Camula and explains that that the loser's soul will sealed inside a doll. The Duel begins, with her wielding a gold Duel Disk in the shape of a bat's wing. She Summons "Zombie Werewolf" in Attack Position and Sets a card to end her turn. Crowler believes she is using the weak monster as bait for her face-down Trap Card and activates "Ancient Gear Castle" before Summoning "Ancient Gear Soldier" in Attack Position. The attack of the latter is increased by the effect of the former, and Crowler attacks, as "Ancient Gear Soldier" prevents the opponent from activating Trap Cards during the damage step. Camula reveals the effect of her "Zombie Werewolf" - when its destroyed in battle, she is permitted to Special Summon another copy of it from her Deck, with an attack increase of 500. Crowler Sets a card to end his turn.
Camula chides Crowler, and Summons "Vampire Bat" in Attack Position, whose effect increases the attack points of all Zombie-type monsters by 200 points. "Zombie Werewolf" attacks and destroys "Ancient Gear Soldier", while "Vampire Bat" attacks directly. Crowler is reduced to 2700 Life Points, and realizes he is feeling real pain. Camula offers Crowler the chance to switch with Zane, and he declines, stating that she will have to through him before laying a finger on any of his students. Crowler activates his face-down "Damage Condenser", which lets him Special Summon a monster from his Deck with attack points equal to or less than the damage he took this turn. He Summons another "Ancient Gear Soldier" in attack position, and begins his turn, Tributing it to Summon "Ancient Gear Beast". Crowler attacks, but the others object, reminding him of "Zombie Werewolf's" effect. Crowler reveals that "Ancient Gear Beast" will negate the effects of monsters it destroys in battle, and the attack continues, with "Zombie Werewolf" being destroyed. Camula draws, and plays "Infernalvania", which lets her discard a Zombie-type monster to destroy every monster on the field. She discards "Vampire Lord", but "Vampire Bat" is immune to destruction should Camula send another copy of it from her Deck to the Graveyard. She does so, and every other monster on the field is destroyed. She attacks directly, ending her turn. Crowler collapses, and Zane wishes to step in, but Crowler urges him back. Camula calls Crowler weak, and Jaden arrives with help from Chumley. He tells Camula that he knows Crowler isn't weak, as he's Dueled him himself.
Dr. Crowler's soul sealed inside of Camula's doll.
Crowler rises to his feet and begins his turn, Summoning "Ancient Gear Golem". He reveals that he will require no Tributes, as two "Ancient Gear" monsters have been Normal Summoned since "Ancient Gear Castle" was played, so it may substitute for them. Crowler attacks, reducing Camula to 1200 Life Points due to "Ancient Gear Golem's" piercing effect. However, she discards a "Vampire Bat" from her Deck to retain the one she had the on the Field. In an effort to prevent the effect of "Infernalvania" from being used again, Crowler plays "Heavy Storm" destroying all Spell and Trap Cards on the field. However, Camula's face-down "Zombie Bed" triggers upon its destruction, letting her Summon another "Zombie Werewolf" from her Deck. Everyone questions how she is able to predict Crowler's every moves, and she reveals that she used her bats to spy on everyone. Camula plays "Book of Life", removing the "Ancient Gear Beast" in Crowler's Graveyard from play to Special Summon the "Vampire Lord" in her's. She immediately removes him from play to Special Summon "Vampire Genesis", in Attack Position, who receives a 200 point boost from "Vampire Bat". Realizing he's lost, Crowler tells his students never to give up, and to believe in themselves, and that the power of light can destroy darkness. Camula destroys "Ancient Gear Golem" with "Vampire Genesis", and then attacks directly with "Zombie Werewolf" and "Vampire Bat", winning the Duel. Camula takes Crowler's Spirit Key, and his soul is transferred into the doll. However, she does not want the doll, and simply drops it to the ground. Camula vanishes along with her bats, back to her castle, but tells them that soon they'll receive an invitation for another Duel.
This Duel uses Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime gameplay. Rules and card effects may differ from that of the TCG/OCG. See the individual card articles for more information.
Camula draws "Zombie Werewolf" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1200/1200) in Attack Position. She then Sets a card.
Crowler draws. He then activates "Ancient Gear Castle". Now all "Ancient Gear" monsters will gain 300 ATK while "Ancient Gear Castle" will gain 1 Counter whenever Crowler Normal Summons or Sets a monster. If Crowler Tribute Summons a monster he can substitute "Ancient Gear Castle" for a Tribute(s) if the number of counters on "Ancient Gear Castle" is greater than or equal to the number of Tributes required. He then Normal Summons "Ancient Gear Soldier" (1300 → 1600/1300) in Attack Position. Due to this card's effect, Camula is forbidden from activating any Spells or Traps when it attacks until the end of the Damage Step. "Ancient Gear Castle" gains one Counter due to its effect.
"Ancient Gear Soldier" attacks and destroys "Zombie Werewolf" (Camula 4000 → 3600). Since "Zombie Werewolf" was destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, allowing Camula to Special Summon another "Zombie Werewolf" from her Deck in Attack Position (1200/1200) and increase its ATK by 500 (newly summoned "Zombie Werewolf": 1200 → 1700/1200). Crowler Sets a card.
Camula draws. She then Normal Summons "Vampire Bat" (800/1200) in Attack Position. Due to this card's effect, all Zombie-Type monsters that Camula controls will gain 200 ATK while "Vampire Bat" is on the field ("Vampire Bat": 800 → 1000/800; "Zombie Werewolf": 1700 → 1900/1200). "Zombie Werewolf" attacks and destroys "Ancient Gear Soldier" (Crowler 4000 → 3700). "Vampire Bat" attacks directly (Crowler 3700 → 2700). Crowler then activates his face-down "Damage Condenser" to Special Summon another "Ancient Gear Soldier" (1300 → 1600/1300) in Attack Position (as its ATK is equal or less than the combined Battle Damage Crowler took this turn).
Crowler draws "Heavy Storm". He then Tributes "Ancient Gear Soldier" in order to Tribute Summon "Ancient Gear Beast" (2000 → 2300/2000) in Attack Position. "Ancient Gear Castle" then gains one Counter, giving it a total of two. "Ancient Gear Beast" attacks and destroys "Zombie Werewolf" (Camula 3600 → 3200). Due to the effect of "Ancient Gear Beast", the effects of "Zombie Werewolf" are negated when "Ancient Gear Beast" destroys it in battle, so Camula cannot Special Summon her third "Zombie Werewolf" from her Deck.
Camula draws "Infernalvania" and subsequently activates it. Now during each player's Main Phase, that player can discard a Zombie-Type monster from their hand to destroy all monsters on the field, but that player will be forbidden from doing a Normal Summon or Set this turn. Camula then activates the effect of "Infernalvania" to discard "Vampire Lord" and destroy all monsters on the field. Camula then activates the second effect of "Vampire Bat" to send another "Vampire Bat" from her Deck to the Graveyard and prevent "Vampire Bat" from being destroyed. "Vampire Bat" attacks directly (Crowler 2700 → 1700).
Crowler draws "Ancient Gear Golem" and subsequently Normal Summons it (3000/3000) in Attack Position by Tributing "Ancient Gear Castle". "Ancient Gear Golem" then attacks "Vampire Bat", but Camula sends another copy of "Vampire Bat" from her Deck to the Graveyard to prevent her "Vampire Bat" from being destroyed, however she still takes Battle Damage (Camula 3200 → 1200). Crowler then activates "Heavy Storm" to destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field. Since "Zombie Bed" was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard while it was face-down on the field, its effect activates, allowing Camula to Special Summon "Zombie Werewolf" (1200 → 1400/1200) from her Deck in Attack Position.
Camula draws. She then activates "Book of Life" to Special Summon "Vampire Lord" from her Graveyard (2000 → 2200/1500) in Attack Position and remove from play "Ancient Gear Beast" from Crowler's Graveyard. Next Camula removes from play "Vampire Lord" in order to Special Summon "Vampire Genesis" (3000 → 3200/2100) in Attack Position. "Vampire Genesis" attacks and destroys "Ancient Gear Golem" (Crowler 1700 → 1500). "Zombie Werewolf" and "Vampire Bat" then attack directly (Crowler 1500 → 100 → 0).
In the dub, during the scenes where Chazz Princeton is shown tweaking his Deck, an unknown card, "Limiter Removal" and "Armed Dragon LV3" are changed to "Dedication through Light and Darkness", "Arsenal Summoner" and "The Tricky", respectively.
In the dub, during the scenes where Zane Truesdale is shown tweaking his Deck, Swords of Revealing Light and Fushioh Richie can be seen.
In the Japanese version, Asuka expresses concern over Cronos engaging in a Shadow Game as she does not wish for anyone else to be hurt. In the English version, Alexis believes that Crowler will lose and actually calls him a terrible Duelist.
In the Japanese version, Camula asks if another Duelist will switch with Cronos, and he calls her rude in response. In the English version, she tells Crowler that he is "not worthy" of Dueling her, and Crowler claims he has a "PhD in Dueling" and that it required "nine years in Duel School".

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a common, severe and recurrent psychiatric disorder with no known cure and substantial morbidity and mortality. Heritable causes contribute up to 80 percent of lifetime risk for BD.
Scientists hope that identifying the specific genes involved in risk for bipolar disorder will lead to new ways to treat the disease.
ISB researchers identified contributions of rare variants to BD by sequencing the genomes of 200 individuals from 41 families with BD.
In research published on Feb. 17 in PNAS, ISB researchers and their colleagues describe a breakthrough in understanding the genetic “architecture” of bipolar disorder and in identifying some of the risk genes. This is the first major whole-genome study of bipolar disorder. Prior to this work, only a handful of replicable risk factors for bipolar disorder were known, primarily common variants with tiny effects.
Acknowledgements: Thank you to the families who participated in the genetics studies. It has been a real joy to work on this project with our collaborators, led by John Kelsoe (UCSD) and Francis McMahon (NIMH).
It is estimated that up to 80 percent of lifetime risk for bipolar disorder is due to genetic causes. However, finding these risk genes has turned out to be incredibly difficult – even more difficult than in a number of other common diseases. The difficulty in finding genetic causes for bipolar disorder is most likely due to the large number of genes involved. There may be hundreds of genes involved, few of which are known. In addition, common genetic variation appears to contribute less to risk for bipolar disorder than in some other diseases.
There are two key findings in the study. First, the team identified several genes and pathways that have a significant burden of rare variants in bipolar disorder. These results provide new insights into specific biological mechanisms of bipolar disorder risk. Most notably, there is a significant burden in bipolar disorder families for several classes of neuronal ion channels. The movement of electrically charged ions in and out of neurons in the brain produces electrical currents, which are the primary way that neurons communicate with one another and process information about the world. The ion channels that were identified in this study are specifically involved in regulating the coupling of electrical activity between pairs of neurons at interaction zones called synapses. We found that there are many different rare variants in these genes, and most people with bipolar disorder seem to inherit more than one variant that could influence ion channel functions. While these findings are preliminary, the results are exciting because they shed light on a problem with which scientists have been struggling for a long time.
Second, the team found that many of the rare risk variants for bipolar disorder are located in regulatory regions. The sequences of protein-coding genes make up only about 1 percent of the human genome. Another 1-2 percent of the genome encodes instructions for gene regulation: when and where in the body a protein-coding gene will be turned on. Genetics studies of rare variants have usually focused on mutations in protein-coding regions because they are easier to understand. But as scientists get better at interpreting the instructions in the regulatory regions, it is becoming clearer that many of the disease-causing mutations are located in these regions. This study suggests that this is the case for bipolar disorder, given that 88 percent of the risk variants identified in the study were located in regulatory DNA rather than in the protein-coding genes.
Neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression are the leading cause of disability in the United States. For bipolar disorder alone, up to 15 percent of cases result in suicide. Such a statistic underscores the need for better ways to treat and prevent mental illness, especially since existing treatments fail to work for many patients. Scientists hope that identifying the specific genes involved in risk for bipolar disorder will lead to new ways to treat the disease.

A number of classic effects come under the umbrella of modulation. We explain how to tell your vibrato from your chorus and your phaser from your rotary speaker.
Modulation, in stompbox terms, generally means adding inaudible electronic information to components in the signal path to create audible effects. In our feature on tremolo, we explained how an oscillator circuit generates a varying voltage to modulate valve bias or a light source alters volume.
This is called amplitude modulation, but when we use the term “modulation”, we’re usually referring to pitch. Parameters such as phase, frequency and delay can also be modulated to create effects such as vibrato, chorus, phasing, flanging and more. So, let’s look at the way modulation effects evolved.
Pitch modulation is commonly known as vibrato. Designed to be used with Hammond organs, the first electronic vibrato devices were rotating speakers. Introduced in 1940, Leslie speaker cabinets featured onboard valve amplifiers with a spinning horn and a rotating cylindrical baffle for the bass.
Rotating speakers rely on the Doppler effect and the result is a spectacular and complex mash-up of pitch modulation, tremolo and phasing that sounds amazing on electric guitar as well as organ. Check out the arpeggios in Badge by Cream, Hendrix’s Little Wing solo and Buddy Guy’s playing on Junior Wells’ Hoodoo Man Blues.
Several other companies have made rotating speakers, with Fender’s Vibratone having been used by some high-profile players and the Yamaha RA-200 a long-standing favourite of David Gilmour. Leslie fans who are not served by a team of roadies might check out the Strymon Lex, Boss RT-20 or the valve-driven Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere instead.
Like tremolo, vibrato can be produced electronically as well as mechanically. Just after World War Two, Hammond engineer John Hannert developed a vibrato using an electronic delay line to modulate pitch.
Although Gibson introduced a standalone vibrato effect unit called the GA-V 1 in 1956, most vibratos were built into amps and employed valve circuitry. Most revered is the Magnatone vibrato used by Duane Eddy and Lonnie Mack, but the effect sounds closer to a pitch-shifting tremolo or a rudimentary chorus.
Compared to tremolo, valve vibrato circuits were complex and expensive to make. Transistors made it possible to build smaller and cheaper vibrato effects into stompbox enclosures. Typically, these pedals had only speed and depth controls.
In their simplest form, vibrato pedals use an array of capacitors to create a very short analogue delay. There will also be an oscillator that modulates the delay time. Much like the Doppler effect, as the delay time increases and decreases, the pitch changes accordingly.
Vibrato effects were popular with surf and 60s garage bands. For a vintage Magnatone-type vibrato, the Bigfoot Magnavibe has a lot of fans. Vibrato enjoyed a low-key comeback among shoegazers and Brit-poppers, with the Boss VB-2 featuring on a lot of 80s and 90s records.
Many players have discovered they can get good vibrato effects from their chorus pedals because vibrato and chorus are so closely related. Chorus pedals are based on John Hannet’s work during the 1940s when he created a simple ‘chorus’ effect for Hammond organs. The trick is to combine the pitch-modulated and dry signals.
The Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble was the first Boss stompbox, as well as the first commercially available chorus pedal. The circuit first featured in the Roland JC-120 amplifier, with the stompbox version following in 1976. The depth and rate controls still came under the vibrato bracket and the chorus/intensity control balanced the wet and dry signals. It even had a second footswitch to toggle between chorus and vibrato.
Before long, the sizable mains-powered CE-1 enclosure had evolved into the smaller CE-2 – minus the vibrato option. By the end of the 70s, almost every pedal manufacturer was making a chorus of some sort.
All this was made possible by the development of bucket brigade devices (BBD). These were chips that could store packets of charge and move them along a line like buckets of water. The number of storage cells and the clock frequency determine the delay time.
Previously, engineers had been forced to use multiple capacitors to delay the signal, but classic BBDs such as the Phillips TDA1022 held several hundred stages on a single chip and so achieved longer delay times.
Many of the chorus pedals that followed were great in their own right, but all are derived from the CE-1. Chorus was intended to add richness and complexity to guitar tones, in much the same way that a 12-string guitar differs from a six-string instrument.
Flanging started as a studio trick engineers performed with tape machines, and you may have heard it on Itchycoo Park by The Small Faces. With two reel-to-reel machines playing the same material in sync, one machine is slowed using gentle hand pressure on the tape spool.
This introduces an extremely short time delay – much shorter than vibrato and chorus. Comb filtering results, where some frequencies are phase cancelled and others are reinforced. If the frequency response is plotted, comb filtering shows up as a series of narrow notches – like the teeth of a comb. At this point, the effect isn’t like flanging, but you can hear what it sounds like by using the ‘filter matrix’ setting on an EHX Electric Mistress.
Tape flanging worked because it’s impossible to maintain consistent finger pressure and the delay fluctuates. To achieve a swooshing flanger effect electronically, the delay must be modulated and the delayed and comb filtered signal is then mixed in with the dry signal.
Phasing is closely related to flanging but more complex. Delay-induced phase shift is combined with all-pass filtering, so the delay time is not constant across the audio spectrum. Phasers generally have multiple stages that are added to the delay line – hence the MXR 45, 90 and 100. Modulating the filter frequency creates the phasing effect and as filters are capacitor/resistor networks, that means modulating the resistance value.
We’ve covered the main modulation effects, but there are others. The Shine-ei Uni-Vibe has played a huge part in the history of rock guitar and was a favourite of Hendrix, Robin Trower and David Gilmour. Although there was a chorus/vibrato switch on the front, it was also a four-stage phaser with photo resistors.

Last Sunday we attended the 25th annual HaZamir gala concert at David Geffen Hall in New York's Lincoln Center. In previous years the performance was at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, and The Metropolitan Opera.
For two hours, 350 teenagers from 31 chapters of HaZamir Jewish High School Choir across the United States and in seven cities in Israel performed to a packed house, singing traditional and contemporary songs in Hebrew and English.
HaZamir, the International Jewish High School Choir, is an international network of choral chapters for Jewish teens. Local HaZamir chapters meet weekly in cities across America and Israel to rehearse and perform Jewish choral music.
HaZamir provides Jewish teenagers the unique opportunity to sing at the highest performance level, build pluralistic community, and create strong Israel-Diaspora relations in the next generation.
Each local HaZamir chapter is directed by a talented conductor whose devotion to the highest standard of Jewish music-making helps to inspire the next generation of Jewish choral singers.
This year the group paid tribute to Israel in its 70th birthday year and to Hazamir's own 25th anniversary.
Today we're posting a short clip of their theme song, with which they begin and end their concerts, and Psalm 97 (Adonai Malach), composed by Steve Cohen and conducted by Chris Mason, conductor of HaZamir Westchester, accompanied by Scott Stein, conductor of HaZamir Manhattan on piano. Soloists are Benjamin Sokol, HaZamir Boston; Maya Behiri, HaZamir Long Island; Sam Joffe, HaZamir Silicon Valley; and Chloe Brown, HaZamir Miami.
Outstanding performance. Can't wait for next year to hear the new concert.
Thank you Al for sharing this beautiful music with us.

is this just a matter of using textpacks and the gTxt() function?
Shouldn’t be necessary to write to the global any more.
No textpack, no db record. I guess some other plugins do it too. It would be nice if we could find a way to append missing strings from $textarray for one or two dev cycles, until the authors provide proper textpacks. Switching to raw strings after update is a bit disappointing.
I concur. I’m looking into the stuff from the other thread I mentioned above, with a view to making sure it works once and for all under those circumstances.
I’ve no current idea how (a.k.a. the best place in code) to patch it as you suggest here though. Suggestions welcome!
Diagnostics error fixed thanks. Also, thank you for restoring public $textarray.
Type all the code in … think “I need to create the page” … bang … should’ve clicked “Save”. Tears!
When I load German in the Languages panel (I’ve installed English as first language) and then switch my admin language to German, I see the wrong string, “Sektion default aktualisiert” (= Section default updated). I tried these steps with French, too, but in this quick test it’s only German with that fault. I’ve also tried that in Pete’s demo, the result is the same.
I just copied an existing theme, switched all the sections to use that new theme, and then checked if it was loading the correct themed style sheet, but found that it was still loading the style sheet from the default theme.
It took me a while to find that this is actually a feature. Since I was still logged in, it showed me the page according to the theme of the last thing that I edited. This will no doubt result in questions from users. I would expect this feature to also take into account changing to a different template in the sections tab.
I don’t get what “Create article” under the Publish button achieves… having a “Create page” action link on a Create page tab is confusing and potentially destructive (same for form & style)… Type all the code in … think “I need to create the page” … bang … should’ve clicked “Save”. Tears!
This is definitely a concern I’ve had. Perhaps ‘Create new…’ was clearer, despite its apparently tautological nature. But then, maybe suffers from the same issue. “Yeah, I’m creating a new one, this’ll save it.” Bang, gone!
One thing I’ve been musing is whether these ‘sub-actions’ should be rolled into an ‘actions’ dropdown. Yes it’s one click more to reveal and then act on them, but it’s then clearer that they’re secondary actions. Or maybe they need relocating so they’re definitely secondary actions?
Placement of the Save button below the Pages, Forms and Styles textareas, and the ‘create’ link above them, could certainly be construed as misleading. But without some way to “start afresh” you’re forced into the even less intuitive mechanism of clicking the same tab again to clear the panel.
Better suggestions welcome, even if it misses 4.7.0 and makes it into 4.7.1.
Since I was still logged in, it showed me the page according to the theme of the last thing that I edited.
Yes, your “working theme”. What’s the lesser of two evils?
a) Working in a vacuum and having to guess what the edits of your new theme are going to be, or have to create new sections and duplicate content to them in order to see what’s going to be rendered, or doing edits on a staging site and having to resync the database at launch.
b) Not seeing the “live” version immediately unless in a private browsing session?
I think the idea of a “working theme” is good, but perhaps it can be improved a bit. If you switch a section from theme A to theme B, you could have the working theme automatically set to B as well. Think of users who do not edit themes, but simply install a new theme and switch to that. They would expect to see the new theme in effect, without having to log out first.
PS. I had actually read about this feature yesterday, but still was surprised by it and didn’t remember until I started debugging and looked more closely at textpattern/publish.php.

We're excited that you're interested in coming to camp. Registration is now open.
The button below takes you to our schedule where you can see the date, location, and registration status for each of our camps, and choose the one that fits you best. A number of them fill quickly, so it’s smart to register as soon as you can.
You can also access our online registration system through any of the individual camp location pages. If you need a hand with your registration at any time, just let us know .
Once a camp fills, a waitlist becomes available. We take at least a couple of people off the waitlist for nearly every camp, so it’s worth adding your name, particularly if you’re able to react quickly and make plans on short notice.
It’s also smart to find another location that could work for you instead, and then if a spot ends up opening up in your original choice, we’ll check in with you to see if you’d like to switch.
You’ll be prompted to accept a waiver as part of the registration process. If you’d like to view the waiver in advance, email us and we’ll send it your way.
We spend countless hours before each camp organizing skill and riding groups, pre-riding trails, and setting things up to give each participant the best possible chance of getting just what they want.
You don’t have to fill out your questionnaire at the very same time that you register, but the sooner and more thoroughly you can complete it, the better chance we have of creating a fantastic experience for you. Plus, if you want to do one early on and then submit an update later, we can work with that too.
We send out a number of registration related emails prior to camp. To be sure you receive them, please add info@dirtseries.com to your address book or approved senders list.
Our camps include full days of professional on-bike instruction, demo equipment from industry leaders, lunches and energy bars, evening sessions with maintenance clinics, snacks and drinks, and an impressive array of prizes from our sponsors.
We offer a 10% discount for groups of six or more. Please contact us for more details.
New this year, we also offer a 15% discount on a one-day camp when booked in conjunction with its corresponding weekend camp. Contact us for more details here too.
We start planning our camps months in advance, work to create an exceptional experience for every participant, and set things up with the expectation that each camp will be full.
Our cancellation policy reflects the fact that the closer it is to the camp date, the more challenging it is to adjust plans, and the less likely it is that someone can jump in to take an open spot.
Up to two weeks before camp: full refund, less $50 administration fee.
Six to thirteen days before camp: 50% refund.
Five or fewer days before camp or “no show”: no refund.
Please note that the above includes injuries and emergencies. In fact, a significant percentage of our cancellations result from these two causes, and often in the tightest timeframes.
Please also note that camp registrations are non-transferable. Changes in participants, dates, or locations often hold many of the same challenges as cancellations. While we’ll always want to help, please be ready for the above policies to still apply.
Even though the Trek Dirt Series camps are packed with value, we understand that there are still keen and deserving mountain bikers who simply can't fit a camp into their budget.
Thanks to the generosity of Damien and Maggie Mills, and their Canmore-based training and consulting firm Runamuk Life, we’ll be offering twelve scholarship spots in 2019.
Scholarships must be submitted a minimum of six weeks before the camp date. Recipients will be contacted approximately four weeks prior to camp.

text: In Thai kitchen, we use stick charcoal not briquettes as in the USA. Some people put the socket in place if they want steady heat (mostly medium to low) for a certain period of time. But for high heat, they usually leave the socket open so they can add more fuel during cooking. The stove itself is made from clay and surrounded with cement and wrapped with sheet metal. Since this product is handmade by local Thais, in some stoves the socket might be lightly cemented to the body of the stove. You can use a chisel to remove the thin layer of cement to free the socket from the stove. Dimension : 13"W x 11 " H. Good for wok size 13-16". Product of Thailand.

ARES (Advanced Rheometric Expansion System) This rheometer was manufactured by Rheometric Scientific Inc., which is currently owned by TA Instruments. A direct-drive motor places a strain on the sample and an air bearing precision transducer then measures the stress. The rheometer has two transducers with a minimum torque of 2×10-7 N·m. It is a strain-controlled rheometer. It is equipped with a Neslab RTE-130 temperature control system. We have a special acid shield and fume system to create a dry, isolated environment for the rheometer to make measurements on SWNT/superacid mixtures.
The RDA III (Rheometric Dynamic Analyzer) is a controlled strain rheometer dedicated to high viscosity fluids and solids testing instead rotational and dynamic shear. With it’s durable ball bearing torque transducer, the product allows analysis of materials such as polymers, baby foods, inks, pharmaceutical gels, liquid crystals, crude oils, nd more solid-like materials. With a controlled temperature range of 25-50C, it is ideal for analyzing polymer melts and thermotropic liquid crystalline phase transitions. Parallel plates (25 mm and 40 mm) and Cone and Plate (25 mm and 40 mm) fixtures are available.
Two Flactek Speedmixers provide high speed, efficient mixing and compounding for liquid solutions, dispersions, and emulsions over a wide range of viscosities. The large Speedmixer (model DAC 600.1 FVZ) is capable of mixing samples (including container) of up to 600g at 2500rpm or less for 100 minutes. It includes the ability to create custom mixing programs for multi-stage mixing. The small Speedixer (model DAC 150.1 FVZ-K) is capable of mixing samples (including container) of up to 150g at speeds reaching 3500rpm for up to 5 minutes. Both utilize Flacktek’s Dual Asymmetric Centrifugal Mixing technology, which is a bladeless mixing technique that produces repeatable, bubble-free mixtures with high precision, repeatability, and speed.
After mixing high-concentration CNT/superacid solutions, or “dopes”, these solutions are extruded through an air gap into a “coagulant” bath. In the air gap, the dope undergoes tensions, which further aligns the liquid crystalline CNT solution. In the coagulation bath, the acid is removed, and the CNTs coagulate to form a solid, aligned, neat fiber. Our group has a unique experimental setup for carrying out this extrusion process; syringe pumps are used to extrude the dope from the mixing vessel, and we have a two-level arrangement where the dope is extruded downward from the first level through the air gap into the coagulation bath on the adjustable second level.
The Gardco Automatic Drawdown Machine is a benchtop device for draw down sample coatings with a high degree of reproducibility.

Legitimate pop-ups will not be considered under the intrusive category.
Google has decided to punish mobile sites that use intrusive pop-up ads by ranking them low and not figuring them prominently on search results. The move is an attempt to make search easier for users. However, it is likely to affect business like news websites and e-commerce ventures that heavily depend on such pop-up ads.
In a blog post Google outlines why these pop-ups need to be removed by saying, "While the underlying content is present on the page and available to be indexed by Google, content may be visually obscured by an interstitial. This can frustrate users because they are unable to easily access the content that they were expecting when they tapped on the search result. Thus, to improve the mobile search experience, after January 10, 2017, pages where content is not easily accessible to a user on the transition from the mobile search results may not rank as highly."
However, all pop-ups under the sun will not be blocked. The blocked ones need to meet a certain degree of annoyance according to Google. For example necessary pop-ups like verifying age is permissible along with smaller banner ads at the top of a screen that do not block content. In Google's rough formula, a "reasonable amount of screen space" is alright for these ads.
Google asks websites at the same not to be too worried as this is just one of many algorithms working together to determine search and assures that if a website has great content to a search query it may still rank high despite such ads. Although it is not known how exactly Google search works, the company has in the past revealed some insight into the query like "mobile friendly" websites have a greater chance of boosting the rank of their content. Also, content on those sites that come with encryption get a better ranking.

The city of Chicago has delivered a letter to Jussie Smollett’s legal team seeking $130,000, a spokesperson for the city law department said.
Smollett’s lawyers have demanded an apology from Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson for “for dragging an innocent man’s character through the mud,” they said.
“It is the Mayor and the Police Chief who owe Jussie – owe him an apology – for dragging an innocent man’s character through the mud. Jussie has paid enough,” the legal team’s statement said.
“Given that he doesn’t feel any sense of contrition and remorse, my recommendation is when he writes check in the memo section [of the check], he can put the word ‘I’m accountable for the hoax,” Emanuel stated.
Johnson and Emanuel said they were not only furious with the outcome of the hearing but also blindsided by the decision itself, with the officials only learning Jussie Smollett wouldn’t face charges for faking a hate crime at the same time the public found out.

text: Bronx Science Key Club volunteered at the CAF Gala on June 12 and June 13. The Caf Gala is an event that raises money to provide disabled athletes with prosthetics that help them play sports. I volunteered for both days. On June 12, our club had arrived at the Hilton hotel in Manhattan to stuff gift bags that were going to be given out to the guests for the gala. The gift bags contained many free goodies, and we had quickly finished in 35 minutes. The day after on June 13 was the day of the gala. Volunteers had to dress business casual for the event. We helped guide guests to the dinner and then afterwards, had dinner and enjoyed some of the program. Volunteers then handed out the gift bags we stuffed the day before to the guests. I enjoyed this event a lot, as this has been my second year so far. Members from HSMSE and Circle K attended this event, and it has historically been an event Bronx Science has volunteered for years. It was tiring and late, but I always look forward to it every year.

I want to share an extraordinary sequence of events that took place in downtown Huntington today that have all of us praising God for his providence and grace. About 11 am this morning the three of us set up on a corner with Dan holding the cross. Vernon and I (Bill) immediately decided to make a quick walk down to the nearby community college to hand out tracts and talk to the students. When we arrived we discovered an empty corner with nobody outside the school. We both figured that the snow had kept everyone inside and decided to do some open air preaching at the busy intersection two blocks over. We set up and I had only belted out the words "Hello Huntington, I want to..." when our amplified speaker died. At this point, I was feeling a little bit frustrated as we were having a hard time finding an audience for the Gospel in the midst of a winter snowstorm. Little did I know that God had a divine appointment set for the audience he had chosen. After our equipment failure on the corner, Vernon and I were separated as we were both passing out tracts to the few people walking down the streets. On the way back to rendezvous with the guys at the original corner, I approached two young ladies named Latisha and Saeisha outside the community college with million dollar bill tracts. They asked what they were, and I told them. I asked them what their opinions are on God, eternity, and morality, and it opened the door to a very honest, sincere conversation. I was honored with the opportunity to share God's law with them, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. After about 10 minutes, at the close of our discussion, Saeisha looked at me and then Latisha and said "Bill, I'll never forget this conversation, and I'm going to go think about this right now", and then she asked for a bible. She then asked, "Latisha, where are you going now?". Latisha looked at me and said, "I'm going to go repent of my sin and put my trust in Jesus Christ right now." I gave her a bible, my email address, and the web address of my church, encouraged them, and said goodbye. Latisha said "Well, I WILL see you again" (meaning in eternity with Jesus). It is so amazing to see a heart broken under the conviction of sin, only to be made whole by the grace found through faith in Jesus Christ. I want to encourage you all that the Gospel is STILL the power of God unto salvation! If you want to see God at work, tell someone clearly, tell someone in love sincerely, that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Dan: Pepsi guy at the stoplight asked where I was from and said "What you are doing is Awesome!!" another guy drove buy and shouted "Hey, I AM ready"..
Dan also handed out several gospel tracts .
Vernon: Today was a great day...Latisha got saved!! We look forward to hearing from her. Also I had the opportunity to see Mulhollah (sp) today. He drove up while we were on the corner of 5th and 10th. He needed some tracts to hand out which we gave him plenty. We look forward to seeing how God uses him to reach the lost. We handed out several tracts. Pray that many would come to repentance and faith in the Savior. Keep Fishin.
I love it when God does stuff like fry out your speaker and in turn having that circumstance lead you to talk with Latisha and Saeisha via handing out gospel tracts only to have their hearts moved by His Spirit unto conviction during your personal presentation to them.
Again, wonderful work, guys. AND God bless you for your dedication to spread the Word despite the cold and the snow. That's not easy. I know it well.

What is Dreamweaver? What can you use it for? What does ?Dreamweaver compatibility? imply?
Dreamweaver is a feature-rich website design app, that has become very popular among users through the past decade since it will allow you to generate professional sites with ease. It is installed on a personal computer and you're able to publish the info straight from it without the need for any third-party software, which means that you will always have the latest copy of your site as a backup on your end. Dreamweaver comes with a number of templates for different types of sites and has a WYSIWYG editor, which will help you to add menus, interactive buttons and contact forms on your website even if you do not have any previous experience. In case you are more experienced, you'll also be able to view and modify the program code of your pages manually. A further advantage that Dreamweaver has over online website design apps is that you will be able to control a number of sites in the same time with no need to sign in or out of any system.
All Linux website hosting that we offer are Dreamweaver-compatible, so you will be able to use this web design application with all of our services without any problem. You will be able to upload your new content directly from this program - you don't need to log in to the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and use a third-party FTP app. Alternatively, you can type in the FTP details for your account in Dreamweaver and the application will publish the web pages which you've generated and they will go live on the web right away. You'll be able to update your site just as easily, since once you modify anything on your desktop or laptop, you'll be able to publish the newest content and the file on our server will be replaced by the updated one immediately. This way, you're able to make and maintain a good looking and feature-rich website fast and easy and make it visible on the web with just a couple of clicks.
You may use a semi-dedicated server account to host a website designed with Dreamweaver as our cloud hosting platform is fully compatible with the application. In case you are used to using it and you already have it installed on your mobile or desktop computer system, all that it takes to publish your site on our servers after you create it is to type in your FTP login details inside the Dreamweaver settings. The program will copy all of the content in the account on our end and the website will be visible on the net without delay. In order to update the website in the future, you only need to make the changes on your computer and press the Publish button, as the FTP information will be saved. Provided you'd like to build a couple of websites and host them in the very same account on our end, you can just create a couple of FTP accounts from your Hepsia Control Panel, each with access to a different domain or subdomain folder.
