Eduard Verhülsdonk (* 16. April 1884 in Krefeld; † 2. November 1934 in Neuwied) war ein deutscher Journalist und Politiker (Zentrum).

Leben und Wirken
Verhülsdonk entstammte einer katholischen Familie aus Westfalen. Sein Vater Engelbert Verhülsdonk war Buchhalter, seine Mutter Helene, geb. Idel, kam aus einer Krefelder Juristenfamilie. Er besuchte in Krefeld das Humanistische Gymnasium. Bereits als junger Mann begann er, als Journalist für katholische, der Zentrumspartei – dem Sammelbecken des deutschen politischen Katholizismus zwischen 1871 und 1933 – nahestehenden Tageszeitungen zu arbeiten. Außerdem gehörte er dem Windthorstbund, der Jugendformation des Zentrums an. Schon 1906 wurde Verhülsdonk alleinverantwortlicher Schriftleiter der Bensberger Volkszeitung und übernahm 1911 dieselbe Aufgabe sowie die des Verlagsdirektors der in Neuwied erscheinenden Rhein und Wied-Zeitung, was er bis 1933 bleiben sollte.

Bereits 1917 wurde Verhülsdonk in Neuwied Stadtverordneter der Zentrumspartei und zog später auch in den Kreistag ein. Daneben war er auch Mitglied des Kreisausschusses. 1928 wurde er in den Preußischen Landtag und 1930 in den Reichstag gewählt. Dem ersteren gehörte er bis 1932, dem letzteren bis 1933 an. Im Reichstag vertrat Verhülsdonk den Wahlkreis 21 (Koblenz-Trier). Aufgrund seiner Durchsetzungsfähigkeit galt Verhülsdonk unter seinen Fraktionskollegen im Parlament als "der starke Eduard". Als Lokalpolitiker machte Verhülsdonk sich um den Bau des 1931 fertiggestellten Schutzdeiches in Neuwied sowie um die Planung und Finanzierung der 1935 vollendeten Rheinbrücke seiner Heimatstadt verdient.

Mit der Weltwirtschaftskrise 1929 geriet die Rhein und Wied-Zeitung in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten, so dass Verhülsdonk und seine Ehefrau Maria, die seit 1911 verheiratet und seit 1914 Eltern von Zwillingen waren, wiederholt Kredite aufnehmen mussten.

Im März 1933 stimmte Verhülsdonk für das Ermächtigungsgesetz, das der Regierung Hitler das Recht verlieh, Gesetze zukünftig auch unabhängig vom Reichstag zu beschließen, d. h. die Exekutive zusätzlich zu ihren eigentlichen Befugnissen auch noch mit den Befugnissen der Legislative ausstattete.

Am 8. April 1933 wurde Verhülsdonk kurzzeitig in Schutzhaft genommen. Parallel dazu wurde er von nationalsozialistischen Zeitungen, insbesondere von der Koblenzer Nationalzeitung, systematisch diffamiert, was in kräftezehrenden Prozessen mündete. Im Januar wurde er vor der Auswärtigen Kammer des Landgerichts Koblenz gemeinsam mit dem Kreissparkassendirektor Josef Muth und dem Landrat Robert Großmann wegen "Untreue" zugunsten der Zentrumspartei angeklagt und im Februar 1934 vorbehaltlos freigesprochen. Durch die Strapazen der Jahre 1933/34 war Verhülsdonk stark gesundheitlich angeschlagen. Am 16. Oktober 1934 erfolgte ein körperlicher Zusammenbruch, von dem er sich nicht mehr erholte. Eduard Verhülsdonk verstarb am 2. November 1934.

Sein Sohn Eduard (1914–1995) war Publizist und heiratete 1949 die spätere Bundestagsabgeordnete Roswitha Verhülsdonk, geb. Woll (* 1927).

First transparent OLED display with graphene electrodes created
By Colin Jeffrey
First transparent OLED display...
The breakthrough could lead the way to a range of new components, including better touchscreens and more efficient solar cells
Fraunhofer FEP
Flexible, clear, and extremely robust, graphene is also an exceptional conductor of both heat and electrical current, all of which makes it a clear front-runner for the next generation of electronic devices. In this vein, researchers have, for the first time, produced OLED electrodes from graphene. This could lead the way to a range of new components, including better touchscreens and much more efficient solar cells.
The electrodes attached to the OLED (organic light-emitting display) have an area of around 2 cm by 1 cm (1/2 in by 1/4 in), and were created using a process of chemical vapor deposition (CVD), where methane and hydrogen are pumped into a vacuum chamber where a copper plate has been heated to 800° C (1,472° F).
A chemical reaction occurs between the two gases and, as the methane dissolves into the copper, it forms graphene atoms on the surface. Once the layer is sufficiently formed, the whole set up is allowed to cool, a protective polymer sheet is applied, and the copper is then chemically etched away to reveal a single-atom layer of pure graphene.
"This was a real breakthrough in research and integration of extremely demanding materials," said Dr. Beatrice Beyer, project leader at the Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP.
Though this is not the first flexible display to use graphene in its construction, it is the first to incorporate OLED technology, which is a large step toward full-color screens and fast response times.
With graphene used in everything from conductors, through to supercapacitors, solar cells and a raft of other electronic devices, displays made from this material are a logical choice for improving the longevity, robustness, and usability of photovoltaic cells, wearable, flexible textiles and medical devices. This research may lead to developments in these areas in the very near future.
"The first products could already be launched in two to three years," said Beyer.
The Fraunhofer Institute partnered with the Spanish company Graphenea S.A., for the production of the graphene electrodes, and with the British company Aixtron Ltd., who built the production CVD reactors.

Colin discovered technology at an early age, pulling apart clocks, radios, and the family TV. Despite his father's remonstrations that he never put anything back together, Colin went on to become an electronics engineer. Later he decided to get a degree in anthropology, and used that to do all manner of interesting things masquerading as work. Even later he took up sculpting, moved to the coast, and never learned to surf.

This is a great accomplishment. I am especially impressed with fastening mechanisms. They appear to be useful in may other settings, like spitball catapults, extension springs, and holding sheets of paper together.

Set in the late 1960s, this first-person confession is narrated by Richard Everett, a precocious and obese boy who sees himself as a minor character in the alarming drama unfolding around him. Fascinated by yet alienated from his attractive, self-absorbed parents and the privileged world they inhabit, Richard incisively analyzes his own mismanaged childhood, his pretentious private schooling, his "successful-executive" father, and his elusive mother. In an act of defiance and desperation, eleven-year-old Richard strikes out in a way that presages the violence of ever-younger Americans in the turbulent decades to come.… (mehr)

An early (i968) work by this author; I'd say her writing got stronger in her later works, but this is still pretty compelling., as the 18 year old narrator loks back on his 11 year old self and begins "I was a child murderer."
Child of dysfunctional parents- a financially successful father and a beautiful, faithless and phony author mother- I felt Oates created the whole "feel" of being eleven very well.Country club social events, private school, a maid....and mother always on the cusp of walking out. The uncertainty and constant tension cause the child to develop eating problems...and much more.
Not brilliant like some of her works, but very good... ( )

I wouldn't say that I particularly liked or disliked this book, I found it more interesting than anything else. It's very postmodern--having a short story in the middle of the novel, that kind of thing. I would rather this book tell me the story in a more straight-forward way. At times the book seems like an exercise in intelligence for the author. ( )

I must really love tragic tales about messed up people. I wonder if this reflects on me at all? This book is one of Oates earlier works and is part of the Wonderland Quartet. The quartet is a group of individual novels with an underlying common theme. These books explore social class by delving deep into a character growing up in America. Sounds like many books you've heard of? Well this is done by Oates and with each book my awe of her writing and stories grows. She understands that humans are not perfect but that society tries to bend us a certain way (especially Americans).
What made me put this in one of my favorites was her unique way on conveying the character. She writes this as a memoir and the way she does it isn't necessarily convincing but enchanting? It's hard to describe. One of my favorite parts of the book was when she had Richard writing fake reviews for his fake memoir. This had me laughing, which isn't my usual reaction to anything I've read by her yet. She calls out every reviewer, imitates their style and then mocks them completely showing us how complete shit reviews can be (especially the ones selected for book jackets). This was such a small and insignificant part of the book but also develops the character in such a creative way. Richard stops to comment on his own work, explain something or even add which made him even more real.
I can't wait to continue on the Quartet but it seems "Them" is not available on ebook anywhere! I guess I'll have to search the libraries or used book stores.
yougotamber | Aug 22, 2014 |
Excellent book. Nabokov meets Rushmore. This. Oomph is so terrific on so many different levels. It is a work of comic genius, literally laugh out loud stuff. The aesthetics of the writing is unrivaled, almost each sentence stands alone. Lastly it is a work of profound human sentiment. Truly a modern classic that deserves to be read. ( )
RDHawk6886 | May 15, 2012 |
Interesting book that started a little slow but grew on me and i was very intrigued at the end. An odd expose from the perspective of the child who murdered.....a haunting portrait was created that made me feel blessed for having the great childhood that i had.....another good read from Oates...who intrigues me because her books are all seemingly unrelated....no set pattern or predictability yet to me....and she is rather prolific....have a lot more to go...looking forward to reading some more.

Pursue an education for in-demand careers - learn what skills are needed.
Have you ever thought about what would happen if colleges across the country stopped training people to fill specific jobs? Where would employers turn to find candidates for some of the country's most in-demand careers?
Most businesses, organizations and institutions — actually, our entire way of life — would likely come to a standstill if no one was taught how to build infrastructure, provide healthcare, repair cars, manufacture parts, fix computers, run businesses or complete a plethora of other crucial tasks on a daily basis.
The U.S. is already facing something of a "skills gap" in which millions of jobs across the country are going unfilled due to a lack of trained employees. Yet the colleges that prepare people for those positions are sometimes taken for granted.
Fortunately, career education focuses on crucial fields that are in high demand, ranging from the traditional hard trades like construction, HVAC, welding, electrical work and plumbing to auto mechanics, manufacturing, cosmetology, massage, IT, culinary arts and more.
It's easier than you might think to build skills for in-demand careers. Reach out to your local Lincoln Tech campus and learn about training options to help you take your future in an exciting new direction!

Crêpes by Suzette is a beautifully illustrated storybook based on Monica Wellington's trips to Paris.
Even though I've eaten crêpes for many years, I didn't really know how to pronounce this French word correctly, until today. Thanks to an interactive storybook titled Crêpes by Suzette, I also learned how to pronounce key French phrases such as s'il vous plaît, tout de suite, and merci beaucoup.
Crêpes by Suzette is a lovely storybook written by Monica Wellington based on her various trips with her daughter to Paris. Even though the book is written in English, it introduces key French phrases throughout the story. You also get to see the beautiful city of Paris through the perspective of Monica Wellington.
The story takes you through a day in the life of Suzette, a crêpe maker, as she meets and greets various customers at major tourist attraction sites throughout Paris. It's like taking a trip to Paris with Suzette as your guide. You also get to learn more about crêpe, the French pancake, and even watch a video of how to make them.
There are 14 pages in this book, and each designed to be contextual. A scene may show a typical morning on the streets of Paris, while another scene shows the bustling markets. As the story progresses, you will tour the city of Paris and visit key attraction sites such as the Luxembourg Gardens, the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre museum, the Tuileries Gardens, Palais-Garnier opera house, and the Eiffel Tower.
If you tap on the Map icon on the top left, you will get access to a wide variety of resources, such as photos, videos, and art references. These resources help make the reading experience more immersive.
The photos section shows you photographs of people making crepes, activities on the street market, and areas surrounding the sites I mentioned earlier. For example, you can see people making transactions at the street market, the beautiful walk along the River Seine, and the French Gothic architecture of the Notre-Dame Cathedral.
The videos section includes a special step-by-step video on how to make your own crêpes. It also includes a video of kids playing in the areas surrounding Luxembourg Gardens and the Eiffel Tower.
The 14-page book features different attraction sites throughout Paris.
Crêpes by Suzette is a great way for kids ages 4+ to learn key French phrases. Other than the ones I mentioned earlier, you will learn how to pronounce these phrases correctly: on y va, bonjour, oui, oh là là, c'est bon, bien sûr, vite, au revoir, and bon appétit. If you go to the Vocabulary section, you can learn what these terms mean and how to say them in other languages, such as German, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese.
The app also includes a special Art section that explains where Monica Wellington got her inspiration to illustrate a scene. For the scene where a postman buys crêpes from Suzette, Monica was inspired by Vincent van Gogh's portrait of postman Joseph Roulin in the Luxembourg Gardens.
This also brings us to the other benefits you get from this app: exposing kids to famous paintings and encouraging them to visit museums to find their own inspirations.
The app has a classy approach in alerting the readers when they are about to go to an external site, such as the museum's official website, to learn more about the painting in context.
Crêpes by Suzette may not be an app that works fully in Airplane mode, but it's absolutely worth the hassle to grant it access to an Internet connection. In the Art section, you can follow links to various museums' official websites to learn more about each painting. The way the app asks for your permission is classy: to follow a link, tap and hold for three seconds, then tap OK when the confirmation popup dialog shows. It shows that the developers care about keeping the readers alert about any external visit.
Overall, the app is well done. I hardly find any problem navigating through the different menus, despite the fact that it's a rich app filled with multimedia content. I also enjoyed listening to the audio played as we're reading the book. You will hear birds chipping and the sounds of footsteps, which make it feel like you're walking through the streets of Paris.
And as you'd expect from an app packed with referential content, you will probably learn a new thing or two as you read the book. For example, the book taught me that every neighborhood in Paris has outdoor street markets. I believe that's not something you'd find in a European capital city.
The Vocabulary section includes not just French phrases, but also their equivalent in German, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese.
I rarely see a storybook developed as serious as Crêpes by Suzette. Not only do you get to experience a day with Suzette the crêpe maker, but you also get to see the beautiful city of Paris and learn how to pronounce a few key French phrases. The photos, videos, and art references really help readers feel as if they're visiting Paris with a professional tour guide.
If you ever feel like buying the hardcover copy of the book from Amazon, here's a handy link for you.
Monica Wellington is a prominent children's book writer who has written and illustrated more than 25 children books throughout her career. This particular book, Crêpes by Suzette, is a special one, because it features Monica's daughter as the sunny little girl with blonde hair, and was inspired by their various trips to Paris.

The Old Stone House is a historic house at 73 East Allen Street in central Winooski, Vermont.  Built about 1790, it is the city's oldest building.  It has served as a tavern, and as residences, and is now in use as professional offices.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Description and history
The Old Stone House stands a short way east of Winooski's central Rotary Park, on the north side of East Allen Street between Cascade Way and Abenaki Way.  It is a -story structure, built out of rough-cut stone and capped by a side gable roof. It has a five-bay front facade, with sash windows in the outer bays set in rectangular openings.  The front entrance is at the center, flanked by wide sidelight windows, and there is a second doorway above on the second level, set at a recess with an iron balustrade across the lower part of the opening.  A wood-frame addition, which is nearly as old as the main block, extends to the rear.

The house was supposedly built around 1790 by Roswell Butler, and is the city's only surviving building from the period immediately following the American Revolutionary War.  It served as a public accommodation (at times a tavern, but also for some time as a hotel) until 1826, with the rear addition added in 1793.  It was then converted into a multi-unit residential apartment house, a use that was abandoned in the 1960s. It now houses professional offices.

The internet landscape in South Africa has changed drastically over the last couple of years, with prices plummeting and speeds rising in both the mobile and fixed line markets. As a result, gamers are finding they have better access to the internet than in years past.
We caught up with some South Africa's large ISPs to find out if there is a business case in the SA market for gaming-centric ADSL accounts.
Brand Manager at Afrihost, Tyler Theron, said that they tweak and prioritise traffic between their ADSL clients and their AfriGamer servers. He added that there is a case for gamer-centric ADSL products, and that in future they may add features such as free game content downloads from mirrors.
"Gaming traffic is identified and matched correctly generally. However, with newer titles, traffic may not be matched correctly immediately after the launch of the game title. Gaming traffic is tricky to identify, with various ports, protocols and dynamic IP addresses from end-users involved, it's difficult to provide clear statistics about gamers," said Tait.
"As gaming becomes more mainstream, a gamer-centric ADSL account becomes the norm and we have taken the view that our efforts around ensuring interactive services like gaming work well across our range of products is a more robust approach anticipating future customer needs. Bundling an ADSL product and a gaming-specific value-added service is entirely another topic and there is potential for this kind of service to exist in the future," said Kasu.
"We don't believe there is value in a specialised [gaming] ADSL product on the access side, unless such a product consistently and comprehensively outperforms a 'standard' ADSL product," said Kasu.

Letter: Make criminals work instead of just sitting in jail
I agree with Mr. Melvin Terry, Mr. Doug Schuessler. He should have got wood, made all crosses needed, fix ground back and re-seeded and paid for all, he would always remembered what he did, rest of life. He doesn't need sit in jail.

I agree with Mr. Melvin Terry and Mr. Doug Schuessler about the man who ran over the crosses in the park.
He should have got materials and made all the crosses needed, fixed the ground back and re-seeded and paid for it all. He would always remember what he did, for the rest of life. He doesn't need to sit in jail. Instead of going to jail, maybe some people need to be corrected like our parents did. It's costing so much to jail people. If they made them pay for food, heat or like materials, maybe it would cut down on crime and they would think twice about doing something that would cause them to go to jail. Of course, if they do something real bad, then yes, they need to go.
Instead of having somebody sit in jail, senior citizens could use help, spraying bleach on their houses and washing it down to get rid of mold. They could also trim shrubs, mow yards ... there's lots of work they could do instead of sitting in jail.
Start making them pay for what they tear up and put them work to put back.

We bring you breaking news out of Solon, Iowa. According to our media partners at CBS2/FOX28, "In a town full of stop signs, the City of Solon is finally getting a traffic light." That's right, a traffic light in Solon. I know, it's crazy.
Solon has a population of about 2,000 people. It's located just a few miles from Lake MacBride State Park and not far from Iowa City and Coralville.
According to the city, "about 8,000 cars drive through Solon every day." That's a lot of cars. I have an idea....why not put up a toll instead. $3.00 per car, times 8000 cars, that would be $24,000 a day! That's $168,000 per week! I'm guessing they won't go for it.
This new traffic light is big news in Solon. I'm told a party is being planned in honor of the new addition. According to my sources, t-shirts have been printed, and a web page is in the works. The new light is a huge hit in this beautiful little community.
Congratulations, Solon. Enjoy your new light and welcome to the club.


This cookbook is intended to provide a Chef custom resource library for deploying and managing Bareos in a standard linux environment. There are a few recipes provided but are optional in that the resources should operate independently given a Bareos installation already exists or is installed alongside (i.e. packages, repos, directory structure). This strategy might change to some degree in the future but for now seemed to be the simplest way to separate the server setup tasks from the deployment of specific resources.
Use of these custom resources can be instantiated by way of features such as chef-vault for secret management, chef attributes, chef databags, etc. They are heavily reliant on hash and/or arrays to drop configurations into place and should provide a lot of flexibility but also provide the structure needed to manage Bareos resources as described per Bareos documentation. Templates can be replaced in wrapper cookbooks by way of the template_cookbook and template_name functionality of each custom resource. Issues or pull requests for official changes are also welcome.
This cookbook does not and will not manage ancillary services for you such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Python, Apache, Yum EPEL Repositories, etc. In the test fixture cookbook, there are some simple examples to get you going in the right direction. They are minimally configured for testing purposes only. You will need to make a plan to support a database type, Python, Apache/Nginx (optionally), and Yum EPEL repositories in RedHat based systems.
autochanger_common.rb - Common set of tasks related to setting up Bareos Autochanger resources per docs. Actively tested against an IBM TS3500 with 16 Drives and 3PB of LTO4 Tape cartridges.
See attributes/dafault.rb. They are mainly focused on default versions and repo locations based on platform_family, platform, and platform_version.
These and other examples are found under test/fixtures/cookbooks/bareos-test.
Default action is :create which creates the necessary database, schemas, and authentication for PostgreSQL or MySQL via Bareos provided tools/scripts.
Default action is :create which generates a director client resource.
Default action is :create which generates a director console resource.
Default action is :create which generates a director director resource.
Default action is :create which generates a director fileset resource.
Default action is :create which generates a director job resource.
Default action is :create which generates a director jobdef resource.
Default action is :create which generates a director message resource.
Default action is :create which generates a director pool resource.
Default action is :create which generates a director profile resource.
Default action is :create which generates a director schedule resource.
Default action is :create which generates a director storage resource.
Default action is :create which generates a storage autochanger resource.
Default action is :create which generates a storage device resource.
Default action is :create which generates a storage director resource.
Default action is :create which generates a storage message resource.
Default action is :create which generates a storage ndmp resource.
Default action is :create which generates a storage storage resource.
Default action is :create which generates a client client resource.
As a matter of getting out a first release cut, we do not currently support pointing to multiple Director Connections via the FD Addresses directive but it can be added later if enough need is required. PRs are welcome to add this later.
Default action is :create which generates a client director resource.
Default action is :create which generates a client message resource.
To help address some inconsistency with the Bareos config layout regarding console configuration(s) (i.e. no bareos-console.d/ directory or similar), I am having to combine both the bareos_console_console and bareos_console_director resources into a single resources which configures bconsole.conf. If they change/fix their strategy on this in the future, the necessary changes will be made.
Default action is :create which generates a combined console config with either console and/or director resources in bconsole.conf.
If you have a graphite node/cluster to monitor systems, we have a custom resource that installs the plugin and configures a cronjob (optionally and configurable) to simply send job statistics to the graphite cluster.
It could fall out of date as we have locked down to a specific commit but we can change that if users start to see issues with the one we are deploying by default.
SPECIAL NOTE: This custom resource does not currently support Ubuntu >= 16. The custom resource will post an error in your chef-client log in those cases.
Default action is :create which generates an instance of the Bareos graphite poller.
You fixed a bug, or added a new feature?
Initial Release, documentation located in README.md!

For about a dozen years during my ongoing three-decade career as an environmental planner and wildlife biologist, I consulted extensively for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. I assisted the Service in preparing comprehensive conservation plans (CCPs) and habitat management plans (HMPs) on about 50 national wildlife refuges (NWRs) around the country, reaching from the Caribbean to Alaska.
Lucky guy! I got to visit, explore and help develop long-term plans to manage and protect some pretty special places, all characterized by their abundance and diversity of wild living things.
Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida.
Theodore Roosevelt and iconic California conservationist John Muir at Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park.
Several years ago I had the good fortune to draft an HMP for Pelican Island NWR on the east coast of Florida. I was thrilled at this opportunity because Pelican Island NWR was the very first national wildlife refuge in the whole country. It had just celebrated its centennial, having been set aside in 1903 to protect imperiled colonial nesting water birds such as the snowy egret and brown pelican by the one and only President Theodore Roosevelt (TR) – America's greenest president ever. On March 14 of that year, without fanfare, TR signed an executive order establishing Pelican Island as the first federal bird reservation, later renamed a national wildlife refuge.
Teddy Roosevelt features prominently as a presidential hero in an important new book, scholarly but eminently readable, by Dr. Otis L. Graham, Jr., Presidents and the American Environment (University Press of Kansas). Graham is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and one of America's leading environmental historians. He is the author or editor of more than 15 books, including Debating American Immigration, 1882-Present (with Roger Daniels) and Environmental Politics and Policy, 1960s to 1990s. He is also a CAPS board member.
TR's conservation legacy is staggering and unrivaled in American history. During his presidency, he established 150 national forests, six national parks, 51 bird sanctuaries, four national game preserves and 18 national monuments (four of which eventually became national parks) – 180 million acres in total. And just as important as these executive actions was his vigorous use of the "bully pulpit" to broadcast the conservation message from sea to shining sea.
I hope you won't let a building of any kind mar the grandeur and sublimity of the canyon. You cannot improve upon it.
That's not to say that TR pleased nature lovers with each and every decision. (The term "environmentalist" did not come into vogue until the 1960s.) He, like every president or governor ever since, wrestled with the philosophical, practical and political clashes between the competing ideals of "preservation" versus "conservation." Generally speaking, preservation means setting aside pristine wild areas for their untrammeled nature and for those relatively few hardy souls seeking solitude and willing to use their own muscle power to find it.
National parks and national wilderness areas tend to symbolize the preservation ideal, while national forests and Bureau of Land Management areas, the conservation ideal.
But what TR felt – and what set him apart from virtually every other president – was an authentic, visceral bond with nature, wildlands and wildlife. This was evident even as an asthmatic, smallish city boy, when this avid reader of natural history and frontier life started recording bird sightings and opened his own "Roosevelt Museum" of plants and animals at home. TR's father was actually one of the founders of the magnificent American Museum of Natural History on the western edge of Central Park in New York City, and TR himself later donated many specimens to that museum.
TR's championship of conservation has been well-documented for a century, though Professor Graham fills in a good many delicious details of which I was unaware.
What of the other presidents though – patriarchs of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, such as Harrison, McKinley, Taft, Harding, Coolidge and the "other" Roosevelt (FDR) – to say nothing of the more recent conservationists-in-chief, like Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, the Bushes (father and son), Clinton and Obama?
Shenandoah National Park, July 1936.
About the earlier batch, those who came immediately before and after TR, history says little of their environmental leadership (or lack thereof), generally because there is little to say, writes Graham. Neither the American nation and people themselves, nor their elected leaders, had yet matured to the point that they placed a high value on things natural, or realized what was at risk of injury and loss as the country's population and economy grew like gangbusters. After all, for the first century or more, the de facto national mission had been to carve a civilization out of the wilderness, not to embrace and cherish the remnants of wilderness which managed to survive the onslaught.
As far as the latter group of presidents, only Franklin D. Roosevelt rates a chapter by himself in Graham's book. Part and parcel of FDR's New Deal were new programs and agencies like the Work Progress Administration (WPA), Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). These massive, job-creating agencies, employing millions of Depression-era laborers, worked both to conserve and to develop natural resources.
Several decades after its founding, TVA itself became a leading target (along with the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation) of environmentalist ire for its persistent proclivity to build dams and nuclear power plants. FDR's mixed (or well-rounded) conservation legacy is exemplified by the fact that in 1935 he dedicated Hoover Dam on the Colorado River and in 1936 Shenandoah National Park in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. It was a case of natural resource utilization in the former and a blend of nature preservation and economic development in the latter (which entailed the construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the forcible removal of long-time hill dwellers from their traditional lands).
Ronald Reagan was no friend of the American environment.
In Presidents and the American Environment, Graham takes stock of the presidents' environmental legacies on balance, and even encapsulates them nicely with pithy chapter headings. Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy presided over "growing and polluting in boom times." Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Carter commanded the ship of state when environmentalism came of age and quickly blossomed into a political force to be reckoned with. Each of them, responding to the zeitgeist, did at least some positive things for the environment, from establishing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and signing into law the National Environmental Policy Act (Nixon), to advocating for and signing the Alaska National Interests Lands and Conservation Act (Carter).
Reagan, Bush the elder and Clinton, in disappointing contrast, were "Presidents Brown and Pale Green." As beloved as he was and is, understandably, by American conservatives, Ronald Reagan nonetheless wins the booby prize as the brownest president in American history, hands down. He would no doubt consider this an honor, because he held environmentalists and their core values and beliefs in utter, undisguised contempt.
Reagan's stubborn belief in the basic outlook Teddy Roosevelt (TR) and the first generation of conservationists (and all subsequent ones) had rejected – that the United States was a place of superabundant, even inexhaustible, land and resources.
Graham subtitles the chapter on Bush the younger and Obama, "wobbly leaders." And for one of them, the occupant of the White House from 2001 to 2009, at least in my view that is an overly generous assessment.
Many climate activists, while grateful for Obama's baby steps and rhetoric, nonetheless expected and are demanding far more of him. However, this may be an unrealistic expectation of any American president given the public's consistent and widespread apathy about global warming, in spite of concerted efforts by many enviros and scientists to link economic, social and ecological calamities like Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, and BP's Gulf of Mexico oil spill, to our fossil fuel addiction and the concomitant, unremitting accumulation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
As well, one gets the feeling – I know I certainly do – that Obama pushes his environmentalist agenda not because his heart is really in it, but because – in some measure due to Reagan's and subsequent Republican presidents' overt hostility to environmentalists – environmental activists are now firmly ensconced in the Democratic camp, practically card-carrying members of it. That is, to placate this captive constituency, the Democratic Establishment will push the environmentalist agenda forward, but only to a point.
They will not push it to the point of antagonizing an even more powerful interest group in their "progressive alliance" – Hispanics. Latino leadership and elites (if not the rank-and-file) are adamantly opposed to restricting immigration and the effective enforcement of our immigration laws, because rapid growth in the number of Latino voters, propelled by mass immigration from Latin America, is key to their pursuit of power; the faster that growth, the more quickly they will obtain that power.
For diehard, earnest Earth Day environmentalists or deep ecologists like myself, all this strongly suggests that neither Obama nor the contemporary Democratic establishment are really serious about steering the United States toward environmental sustainability. Population stabilization, after all, is a sine qua non – a central, nonnegotiable element – of long-term environmental sustainability.
Toeing the essentially open-borders Democratic Party line on immigration – and thus supporting essentially unchecked U.S. population growth from unchecked immigration – is a core betrayal of fundamental environmental principle. Yet it is a price the politically correct, emasculated and enervated environmentalist establishment has willingly paid for admission as a junior member of the progressive/Democratic team and for continuing acceptance. It is the cost of playing ball. And since they are already banished to left field by the Republicans, enviros can't afford to be exiled from the ballpark altogether if they are to enjoy any influence at all in the short term. But over the long term, by acquiescing to endless population growth, by making this Faustian bargain, the environmentalist establishment has thrown the environment it supposedly fights for under the proverbial bus.
No one personifies Democratic insincerity and phoniness on the environment better than Barack Obama. To this writer's knowledge, for all the prattling and pandering Obama has done on the environment, he has never once publicly evinced any understanding that ever-growing numbers of human beings are bad for the Earth and bad for that portion of the Earth we call America.
Obama lived most of his growing-up years in Honolulu, on the leeward and more densely urbanized side of the island of Oahu. Judging by his account, the geography and climate of the place made no great impression on him; life in Honolulu…never seemed to pivot on island landscape or wildlife but overwhelmingly on individuals and his urban activities with them – his mother, grandparents, younger sister, and schoolmates. He and his biographers tell of basketball games, long walks through the city, movies seen, hanging out at Mr. Burger's Drive-In, dabbling in beer, cocaine, marijuana. It might as well have been Topeka, Kansas, where his mother was raised.
mother and sister in Hawaii.
And Graham quotes Time magazine correspondent Michael Grunwald: "Obama was no tree-hugger. Nature wasn't something he felt in his gut." Perhaps this is why, as a died-in-the-wool, old-fashioned conservationist, I am left unpersuaded and uneasy – if not downright queasy – by the environmentalish platitudes rolling off of Obama's silver tongue that have made so many other followers of "environmentalism lite" swoon.
Obama was and is…a conventional, urban liberal, civil-rights-oriented 'neighborhood activist' of familiar views….Environmentalists should look elsewhere for a leader who has slept under the stars and, if Hawaiian, knows and cares that the island's coral reefs are dying beneath the Pacific's emerald waters as they slide upward across the beaches.
In another century, if there are still historians extant to tell the amazing and tragic story of America's grandiose boom-and-bust trajectory, events and presidents that now loom large will have receded to bit parts in the big picture.
To the retreating wildlife, the establishment of national forests and national parks in the TR era did little to slow the devastation produced by the reality behind two revered words, national growth. The human population, in 1900 at 76 million, was then roughly ten times the size of the indigenous population when the European invasion began and vastly more technologically advanced. It grew to 123 million by 1930, migrating from rural to urban settings and spreading westward into the Great Plains and southward toward the tropical allure of a watery Florida seen as begging for improvement – which meant drainage and development. None of the perils TR and his lieutenants warned about – deforestation, soil erosion, flooding, wildlife extinction – had been arrested during this era of growth, let alone reversed.
Even if all presidents in the century and more since TR strode the presidential stage had been as environmentally exemplary as TR himself, attaining a prosperous, just, socially cohesive, durable and ecologically sustainable America would still be a formidable challenge. Of the scores of civilizations that have come and gone in the past, not one has ever achieved it. The dust of five continents is littered with their shattered remains.

Guest Blogpost – Resources: Where Can I Find Them?
I asked teachers who have supported student teachers to give their top tips for school placement. I've put them together in this blogpost so that student teachers can get some advice from experienced teachers all around Ireland.


I'm originally from the Midwest, I've been in New England for two-thirds of my life, and I'm getting restless. I have an itch to pick up and move somewhere completely different.
I enjoy a variety of activities including (but not limited to) reading, yoga, hiking, sewing and crafting, adult coloring books, taking selfies on good hair/outfit days, trail walking, spin classes, traveling, and hanging out with my cat Penguin.
I also like participating in fun runs around the Southern NH area. If you haven't noticed yet, I run more than your average person. For some explanation as to why a mostly-sane person would want to do that, read this and this. I also love to cheer on my fellow runners when I have the time… which is fairly regularly.
I love telling stories, sharing knowledge and information, going on adventures, and exploring ways to live creatively. This little blog is an opportunity for me to share my experiences with you.

New York Area Police Increase Patrols Near Planned Parenthood Clinics After Colorado Shooting
Filed Under:Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood Shooting, Holli Haerr, NYPD, Planned Parenthood, Suffolk County Police
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/CBS News/AP) — Tri-State Area police departments increased their patrols around Planned Parenthood locations Friday, following a shooting in Colorado Springs that left a police officer and two others dead.
The NYPD said it is stepping up security around Planned Parenthood locations in the city and redeploying critical response vehicles. Suffolk and Nassau county police announced in a news releases that they were also increasing patrols around all Planned Parenthood locations.
Both departments said there have been no specific threats to any local Planned Parenthood locations.
"We're contacting these facilities to gather any intelligence and to observe the way out of the locations," said Suffolk County police Deputy Commissioner Tim Sini.
As CBS2's Alice Gainer reported, a total of 11 people were injured and hospitalized – including five police officers – in the shooting near the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs.
CBS Denver reported a University of Colorado at Colorado Springs police officer was later pronounced dead in the shooting.
In a statement, university chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak identified the slain officer as Garrett Swasey, 44.

He was a six-year veteran of the department, which Shockley-Zalabak said is comprised of "sworn, state-certified police officers."
"UCCS is working with Officer Swasey's family and continues to support the Colorado Springs Police Department at the shooting scene," Shockley-Zalabak said.
Two civilians were also pronounced dead after the shooting, CBS News confirmed.
CBS News justice correspondent Jeff Pegues reported the suspect had surrendered to police and was in custody as of shortly after 7 p.m. Eastern Time Friday.
But SWAT teams and officers remained on the scene to make sure nothing had been left behind.
The alleged gunman gave himself up because he was surrounded and had nowhere to go, sources said.
A law enforcement source told CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton the suspect — identified as Robert Dear, 57 — was being interviewed by authorities, including 1st Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Troyer and the local district attorney.
Federal charges including civil rights violations are being considered as well as other federal and state charges, the source told Milton.
As 1010 WINS' Holli Haerr reported, Joan Malin, the president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood in New York City, said the Colorado Springs standoff and shooting was tragic.
In a written statement, Malin said the top priority for Planned Parenthood in New York is "the safety of patients and staff."
She wrote that Planned Parenthood in New York "shares the concerns of many Americans that extremists are creating an environment that feeds into domestic terrorism in this country."
Planned Parenthood has five locations in New York City, all of which are closed for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Meanwhile in a show of support late Friday, an emergency vigil was held in Union Square. Supporters of abortion rights held signs and walked up and down in the south end of the square to speak out against the shootings.
Authorities received a call of shots being fired near the Planned Parenthood clinic before 2 p.m. Eastern Time. Buckley said that the initial information police received was that the shooter was armed with a "long gun."
Law enforcement sources said the suspect started shooting in the parking lot before moving into the facility, which was guarded by security.
The bulletproof windows at the building proved to be a challenge for police.
Police said the suspect also "brought several items with him" into the Planned Parenthood building that needed to be checked, but it was unclear what the items were.
Businesses in the area immediately went on lockdown. Even as police slowly evacuated the clinic, the standoff and shootout lasted for hours.
"We did get officers inside of the building at the Planned Parenthood. And the officers were able to shout to the suspect and make communication with him," Buckley said. A"nd at that point, they were able to get him to surrender and take him into custody."
Joan Motolinia's sister was inside the clinic at the time for an appointment. He rushed to the Planned Parenthood facility after hearing gunshots, CBS2's Tracee Carrasco reported.
"I was talking to my sister over the phone and she couldn't really talk, and I heard that somebody was shooting," Motolinia said.
In a statement, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains said the organization didn't know whether its clinic was the target of the attack.
"We share the concerns of many Americans that extremists are creating a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country," the statement said. "We will never back away from providing care in a safe, supportive environment that millions of people rely on and trust."
Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers said the loss of life could have been far worse had it not been for the "brave responding officers," CBS affiliate KKTV-TV, Colorado Springs reported.
"This is a terrible, terrible tragedy that happened today in Colorado Springs," he was quoted by the station.
The Planned Parenthood is located in a building next to a building that houses several medical offices. The strip mall with the King Soopers grocery store is less than a half-mile away and police shut down the road where the shops are located.

Earlier this month, Brian was arrested on domestic violence charges against Hayden, following calls to 911 concerning an altercation between the couple.
RadarOnline reported that the person who called 911 around 1:30 a.m. on May 2 told the dispatcher that their neighbors were 'in both physical and verbal argument' and that someone was heard 'yelling 'Ouch'.'
According to insiders who spoke to TMZ, the domestic violence incident happened after Panettiere, 29, and Hickerson, 30, got home following a night of drinking in Hollywood and got into a blow-up fight.

Police arrived at the residence around 2 a.m. last Friday and found 'redness and marks' on the actress' body.
After determining that an altercation had taken place, officers took Hickerson, an aspiring actor, into custody.
He was booked for felony domestic violence and released on $50,000 bond.
Once news of the arrest broke, Panettiere's mother Lesley Vogel told RadarOnline that she was 'in shock' over what had happened.
'I knew he had an incident with his father and he has a tendency to do that [physical violence]. Never had I thought it would be against Hayden or I would have addressed it sooner. I have addressed many things,' Vogel said.
Alarm: Earlier this month, Brian was arrested on domestic violence charges against Hayden, following calls to 911 concerning an altercation between the couple
Hickerson was involved in a domestic dispute with his father David last fall during which Panettiere was present.
According to police reports, law enforcement was greeted by an apparently 'drunk and frantic' Panettiere when they responded to a call for assault and battery at a private residence in South Carolina this past October.
The incident intensified Panettiere's family and friends' concern for the star, who were reportedly already concerned about the dynamic between her and Hickerson.
Back in November a source told Us Weekly that the the couple 'party a lot together and it's not a healthy situation, but none of the people close to her really know what to do. She doesn't listen to anyone.'

Panettiere and Hickerson have been dating since last summer, shortly after her split from former boxer Wladimir Klitschko.
After the breakup, Klitschko returned to his native Ukraine, where he is raising the couple's four-year-old daughter Kaya.
Panettiere revealed in 2017 that she had checked into rehab suffering from postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter.
She has also been taking a break from acting following the finale of Nashville, which wrapped up in 2018.

Constrictotermes cyphergaster is a neotropical species of open-air foraging nasute termite within the genus Constrictotermes. This species is distributed widely throughout South America and lives within xeric habitats such as the savannas found in Paraguay, Bolivia, Central Brazil, and Northern Argentina. C. cyphergaster primarily builds arboreal and transient epigeic nests, and mainly consumes dead woods at varying stages of decomposition.

Description

Biology
Nests of C. cyphergaster are mostly arboreal, being typically found between 0.4 and 3 meters high on a host tree. The nests vary between a reddish brown and grayish brown in color, are oval and the texture of the surface is reticulated. Growth and proliferation of nests coincides with seasonal changes. Most of the new small nests that emerge during the wet season are satellite colonies, which is associated with increased seasonal polycalism within C. cyphergaster. In the Caatinga region of Brazil, common host trees include Croton blanchetianus, where most new small nests are found on, and Caesalpinia pyramidalis, which have a higher percentage of large nests. Some nests are more epigeic - i.e. present on the ground. Epigeic nests are associated with ephemeral residence and are believed to be satellite constructions of nearby colonies serving as refuge for workers moving in-between nests and possibly as food storage. The largest recorded population for a nest of C. cyphergaster was around 118,000 individuals, with a soldier:worker ratio of 1:2.8 respectively.

Constrictotermes cyphergaster is primarily active during the night and early morning where it forms extensive foraging columns out in the open via one or two openings from the nest. Soldiers spearhead column formation 30 minutes before the arrival of workers within the foraging exodus. Leading soldiers branch off different routes from the main foraging column, while soldiers upstream assume defensive positions at the flanks of the foraging column to protect inbound workers. Once a feeding spot is located (typically a rotted tree trunk or branch), workers will gather around and consume material before returning with their new forage stored in their gut (unlike their Indomalayan counterparts which carry back food in their mandibles). On average, colonies forage over an area of 369.6±242.7 m2 during the dry season and 190.8±170.1 m2 during the wet season. The number of individuals involved in foraging varies by season with the largest number of workers involved in a single session, an estimated 87,000 individuals, being observed during a foraging bout in the wet season; while during the dry season the largest recorded was 51,000 individuals. A maximum trail length of 18.5 meters was also observed for C. cyphergaster, which is smaller than the values recorded for other species of open-foraging termite.

Foraging bouts are most frequent during the wet season and less so in the dry season, coinciding with seasonal variation in the availability of resources and foraging cycles. Somewhat contradictory, the biomass of colonies were observed to increase during the dry season, likely due to increased production of reproductive individuals (alates). Presumably the termites in preparation for adverse conditions forage more frequently in the wet season when resources are plentiful and when conditions are more favorable for foraging. Collected food is then stored within cells of the inner basal portion of the nest. These cells contain a dark material — digested balls of cellulose, which contain a high diversity of lignocellulosic ascomycetes fungi which helps enrich the nutrient content of the food stores. The larvae of C. cyphergaster presumably feeds on these food stores as well as Inquiline species of termite.

Reproduction
Colonies swarm in the following months: March, April, and May. The fully claustral royal pair likely found colonies within the ground which migrate to form arboreal nests later during the colony's lifecycle.
