Navy marks 121st year with activation of major capabilities
The Philippine Navy (PN) celebrated its 121st founding anniversary on Monday with the introduction of two new capabilities — the commissioning of its first two AgustaWestland (now Leonardo) AW-159 anti-submarine helicopters and activation of the first four Hanwha Techwin amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs).

"For today's (Monday) ceremony we blessed (and commissioned) two major capabilities of PN. First is the two anti-submarine warfare helicopters, (the) AW-159s (which) we acquired from Leonardo, UK. The two helos are equipped with modern sonar capability that can detect submarines underneath (the water and) armed with torpedos and missiles that can destroy submarines and big surface vessels and can perform search-and-rescue operations in the most challenging maritime environment," said PN flag-officer-in-command Vice Admiral Robert Empedrad.
The AW-159s arrived in the country last May 7 and will be based on the two missile-armed frigates Hyundai Heavy Industries is constructing in South Korea.
These aircraft were acquired for PHP5.4 billion, including the munition, mission essential equipment and integrated logistic support.
The AW-159 (previously called the Future Lynx and Lynx Wildcat) is an improved version of the Westland Super Lynx military helicopter. The helicopter has been ordered for the Royal Navy and British Army.
It is capable of speeds of 291 km/h (181 mph), range of 777 km (483 miles), ferry range of 963 km (598 miles) and an endurance of one and-a-half hours (four hours and 30 minutes if fitted with auxiliary fuel).
The AW-159s can also be armed with rockets, machine guns, missiles, torpedoes and depth charges.
Second is the four AVVs, which will be used by the Philippine Marine Corps in amphibious operations and can be launched by the PN's strategic sealift vessels and landing ships.
Empedrad said these AAVs can be launched from our amphibious vessels 1.5 nautical miles or three kilometers away from the shorelines and can sail at sea with a speed of 10 to 16 kilometers an hour.
"The Marines can now perform amphibious operations which speed, surprise, better firepower and maximum firepower," the PN chief stressed.
The four AAVs, part of the total of eight acquired for PHP2.42 billion from Hanwha Techwin, arrived in the Philippines via commercial ship in the first week of May.
The AAVs will be used by the Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) and will be based aboard the two strategic sealift vessels, the BRP Tarlac (LD-601) and BRP Davao Del Sur (LD-602), boosting the ships' "limited sea-basing capabilities".
These vehicles are armed with .50 caliber machine guns, 40mm grenade launchers and smoke launchers.
Aside from this new equipment, the PN on Monday also deployed five newly-repaired and operational ships which include two Jacinto-Class Patrol Vessels (JCPVs) those weapons have been upgraded, Empedrad said.
"The two JCPVs are now capable to provide massive and accurate gunfire support to protect our ground forces and our marines from enemy fires during encounters and amphibious landing," he added. PNA

The City gave me a very strong sense of deja vu. So many parts are hauntingly familiar. Here's the story: You wake up, not knowing who you are, where you are, or why you are wherever you are. Sound familiar yet? If not, here's more: You seem to be trapped in a surreal and inescapable institution. (This institution is called "The City", hence the name of the game. Yes, that's right. It's not about an actual city.). Does this ring any bells? OK, here's more: your situation is iterative, bringing you back to the same point over and over again. No? Well, how about this: at one point during the game, when you give a command that goes against the narrative's wishes, the parser replies, in bold letters: "That's not how you remember it." This should definitely sound familiar to anyone who's played the latest Zarf offering. Plotwise, it's as if somebody chopped up Mikko Vuorinen's "Leaves" (another escape-from-the-institution game whose name had only tenuous relation to its contents), added two tablespoons of Andrew Plotkin's "Spider and Web", garnished with a sauce of Greg Ewing's "Don't Be Late", threw in a pinch of Ian Finley's "Babel", put the mixture into a crust made from tiny pieces of various other text adventures, stirred, baked for 45 minutes at 350 degrees, and served it up for this year's competition. Now, I'm not entirely convinced this is a bad thing. I think that lots of great works of art, interactive fiction and otherwise, are really just inspired melanges of things that had come before, so I'm not particularly opposed to such derivation on principle. For me, though, some of the derivative aspects of The City didn't work particularly well. This was especially true for the "Spider and Web" stuff -- I felt that the game crossed the line between homage and rip-off, heading the wrong direction. In addition, the convention of waking up with no idea of who you are or where you are, despite how well suited it is to IF, is starting to feel very tired to me. Perhaps I'm just jaded, or burnt-out, but when I saw the beginning I said "Oh, not another one of these!".
Now, this is not to say that the entire game was derivative. The plot certainly didn't break any new ground, but certain aspects of the interface were imaginative and innovative. The City does away with status line and score, not to mention save and restore. Abandoning the first two precepts did lend the game a greater sense of rawness, of the interactive experience being immediate and unmediated by any artificial tracking devices. The absence of save and restore, on the other hand, was a pain in the neck. See, as much as IF might want to emulate real life, it's never really going to be real life. Consequently, there will be times when I only have 15 minutes to play a game and want to at least get a start into it. Or when a fire alarm goes off and I have to shut things down. Or when my wife wants to go to sleep, and I need to turn off my computer (which is in our bedroom.) You get the idea. At those times, I want to preserve the progress I've made. I don't want to have to start from scratch, and I don't care how short the game is, I don't want to waste my time typing in a rapid series of commands to get to where I was when I had to leave the game last time. Especially since with my memory, I'm likely to forget one or two crucial actions which will then oblige me to start over again. Here is the lesson for game authors: please do not disable interface conveniences in the name of realism. It will not win admiration from your players, at least not from this one.
One innovation I did like in The City was its expansion of the typical IF question format. The game allowed not only the typical ASK and SHOW constructions, but also questions (both to the parser and to other players) like "Why am I here?", "Where am I?", or "Who are you?" Now, it didn't allow question marks, which made the whole thing look a bit strange syntactically, but I found it did have a pretty good record of responding realistically to reasonable questions. I can imagine how much work must have gone into this feature, and I think it really made a difference -- I felt much freer to question NPCs in a much more lifelike way. Even when I bumped into the limits of this realism (with questions like "what is going on here?") I still felt outside of the bounds of traditional IF. Unfortunately, the energy that went into this innovative question system must have been leached out of other technical parts of the game. There were a number of bugs in the game, including one that rendered the game completely unwinnable, forcing me to, you guessed it: restart. Since I couldn't save, and since the bug happened about 2/3 of the way through the game, I had to completely restart and type in all the commands that had brought me to that point -- you can be certain I was grinding my teeth the whole time. In a non-competition game I almost certainly would not have bothered, choosing not to finish rather than to waste my time in such a manner. If anybody needs another reason not to disable save and restore, it's this: when bugs in your code force the player to go backwards, that player will not appreciate having to back all the way up to the beginning. In addition to the bugs in the game's coding, there were also a number of mechanical errors with its writing as well. These were not egregious, but they were there, and wore on what little patience remained after the bugs, the disabled conveniences, and the ultimately frustrating nature of the plot itself. I think the question system from The City is a valuable tool that could be well-used elsewhere (though I'd appreciate the ability to punctuate my questions with question marks). I would be very happy to see that system integrated into a game with an original plot, working code, and error-free English.


Substance Related Disorders refer to not only the chemical upon which abuse or dependence has occurred, but also the nature of the impact of the substance use has had upon the individual. This can vary from abuse to dependence and from hallucinations to delusions to delirium. Substance abuse or dependence can result in mood, anxiety, sleep and sexual disorders as well as problems arising from withdrawal. Agents ranging from alcohol to cocaine to cannabis, hallucinogens, inhalants, opioids, phencyclidine, inhalants and sedatives can be of concern.
Alcohol: When considering substance related disorders like alcohol abuse or dependence, you need to think in terms of the moods and behaviors that arise from intoxication as well as the physical problems which arise from withdrawal from the substance. The morbidity and mortality from alcohol, the most frequently used brain depressant, with 60% of males and 30% of females having at least one alcohol related adverse life event. There are psychological disorders that arise from the dependence upon alcohol and its abuse. These include dementia, amnesia, delusions, hallucinations, mood disorder, sleep disorder, anxiety disorder and sexual disorder. Not surprisingly, alcohol, the most commonly abused substance, is often an attempt at self-medicating the very problems that it creates.
Opioid-Related Disorder (including synthetic opiates) can be associated with abuse and dependence. The discontinuation of the medication can be related to withdrawal and overuse can be associated with intoxication, and dependent upon patient and dosage, psychotic symptoms with hallucinations and/or delusions. The medications themselves can create their own clinical manifestation of mood disorder. Sleep disorder due to changes in sleep architecture and sexual dysfunction may occur.
Sedative-, Hypnotic-, or Anxiolytic-Related Disorders: There are several sedative, hypnotic and anxiolytic disorders. Hypnotics are used for treatment of sleep disorders, anxiolytics are used for the treatment of a range of anxiety disorders. All three groups of agents, if not properly regulated can result in dependence, and all three are open to abuse. In some cases intoxication, withdrawal, delirium, amnesia, mood, sleep, sexual and other symptom patterns may arise. In some cases hallucinations may occur even though the individual is aware that the hallucinations are caused by the medication (does not believe the hallucinations to be real). However, these medications, when dispensed and used appropriately, can be quite effective as an adjunct to the treatment of a range of disorders and should be taken according to guidelines and not avoided due to fear.
As you can see, substance related disorders are a treatment challenge that usually requires the cooperation of immediate family and friends.

The second year of the Port Chester Middle School holiday pet supply collection made for a very merry season for the animals cared for by the Pet Rescue of New York, located in Harrison.
Students and staff donated money and pet supplies to their Paws for a Cause event, raising $1,700, up from $650 raised last year.
Pet Rescue of New York visited PCMS on Dec. 20, 2018 to pick up the school's generous donations. They created a frenzy by bringing with them four dogs that were in their care, three of which were looking for their "furever" homes.
Physical Education teacher Melissa Piccola said students and staff sold T-shirts and a Cutest Pet Contest to help with the fundraising. The contest alone raised $500. She said the Family and Consumer Science classes were instrumental in making the event a success.
The hope is to make the event an annual tradition, Ms. Piccola said.

The National Tourism Students Conference is an educational platform designed for students pursuing tourism and related studies. The conference is meant to bring together tourism students to share ideas, learn and connect with industry experts, and liaison for corporate relations. It is a dialogue platform intended to discuss contemporary issues in tourism, promote students' sense of belonging in the industry whilst in college as well as encourage students to be responsible travelers and community development change markers.
The National Tourism Students Conference features (1) a symposium with presentations from industry experts, (2) a seminar highlighting a Call for Papers initiative where students will present on researches focusing on the conference's theme, (3) 4 workshops were students are given the opportunity to interact with youth organisations or businesses engaging in sustainable tourism development projects across the country, as well as (4) a post conference tour intended to engage students in travelling.
The theme for the 2019 National Tourism Students Conference is "Exploring and discovering Botswana's Tourism Treasures" by promoting the growth of MICE (Business) Tourism as a niche tourism product for the diversification of tourism in Botswana.
This year we will be having a participation of 5 universities and 6 industry experts. We are expecting a total of 100 students to join us at the conference.
In the near future, we are intending to open this conference to international tourism students from Africa and across the country to join us and appreciate Botswana as a premier tourist destination of choice and get a chance to explore cultures in Botswana.
This is one of the events we host geared towards achieving Goal 4 of the SDGs and promote tourism development.
Currently ANTICLO Investments (Pty) is a small company with limited resources of which in most cases we can't afford 100% implementation of our projects because of lack of funds. I am seeking investors or sponsors for this event because it is an event that exposes the youth to the tourism world as well as help promote sustainable tourism and ensure that the youth get engaged in the industry. We will be happy to host international tourism students to this event at anytime. This is worth it.


This seems like a fancy way to do "one of these things is not like the other" but hey, if calling it a ed-psych term like Concept Attainment Strategy makes something cool palatable, then by all means! What a cool idea when I use images in lessons, this idea will really help when teaching theme. Good stuff: saving!

A Democratic ad in Spanish says Republicans "would end the Medicare guarantee." That requires context. Viewers might interpret the message to mean that Medicare would end completely. That's not the case. The ad refers to the system's guarantee of a certain level of benefits covered by the government.
[TET ] DNC ad, English translation: Behind the ads that pretend to care about our children, it's the Republicans who would end the Medicare guarantee while protecting tax cuts for the very rich.
Props to Politico's Ben Smith for spotting the latest misleading ad from the Democratic National Committee. The ad, called "On Their Side," uses selective editing to make it seem as though Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele gives "Wall Street" exclusive credit for creating jobs and building the economy. In fact, Steele was also praising "Main Street" and small businesses, but the DNC edited out those references.
A new fundraising plea from the Democratic National Committee highlights the link between a new conservative group's health care ads and the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth — but it goes too far in its claim of a connection.
Plouffe, DNC pitch: We knew healthcare reform would face fierce opposition — and it's begun. As we speak, the same people behind the notorious "swiftboat" ads of 2004 are already pumping millions of dollars into deceptive television ads.
On Friday, the Democratic National Committee released an ad attacking Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina for not accepting $700 million in stimulus funds. Sanford is considered a potential Republican candidate for president in 2012.
The ad is correct to say that Sanford is "turning down millions in recovery act funds." Sanford has said that he would rather use the money available at his discretion through ARRA to pay down the state's debt, and he requested a special waiver from the White House to do so.

The Department of Computer Science offers both Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts majors in Computer Science and a combined Bachelor's / Master's program. It also offers joint majors with the Departments of Economics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Psychology.
Each program provides a solid technical education yet allows students to take the broad range of courses in other disciplines that is an essential part of a liberal education. As a result the total number of required courses is somewhat lower than at other schools. Some students use this freedom to complete a second major, such as Economics, Music, Political Science, or Theater Studies.
All of these programs are built around a common core of five computer science courses. The first, CPSC 201 Introduction to Computer Science, is a survey that illustrates the breadth and depth of the field to students who have already completed a one-term introductory course in programming. The others cover discrete mathematics; data structures; systems programming and computer architecture; and algorithm analysis and design. Together they include the material that every student of computer science should know.
This core is supplemented by a set of electives (and for the joint majors, a set of core courses in the other discipline). The electives give students great flexibility in tailoring the program to specialize in particular areas of computer science or to broaden their knowledge in a variety of areas.
The capstone of each program is the senior project, which lets students experience the challenges and rewards of original scientific research under the guidance of a faculty member. These projects deal with problems that cross the boundaries between courses and can involve complex and imaginative use of computers. Recent projects include:
Facilitating Foreign Language Fluency Through Interactive Conversational Software
Persistor: A Checkpointing System for the Determinator OS
Pinch Pad: Design and Development of an iPad Application for Sharing Sketches
String Subsequence Kernels for Text Classification
There are also research opportunities for underclassmen, both during the academic year and over the summer.
The Bachelor of Science program is designed for students who plan to continue in computing after graduation, including technical management and consulting. The Bachelor of Arts program provides a solid computer science background as preparation for work in other fields such as finance, law, management, or medicine. The B.S. / M.S. program allows exceptionally able and well-prepared students to earn both Bachelor and Master of Science degrees after eight terms of enrollment.
The B.S. degree in Computer Science and Economics provides students with foundational knowledge of economics, computation, and data analysis, as well as hands-on experience with empirical analysis of economic data. It prepares students for professional careers that incorporate aspects of both economics and computer science and for academic careers conducting research in the overlap of the two fields. Topics in the overlap include market design, computational finance, economics of online platforms, machine learning, and social media.
The joint major in Computer Science and Mathematics is intended for students who are interested in computational mathematics, the use of computers in mathematics, mathematical aspects of algorithm design and analysis, and theoretical foundations of computing.
The joint major in Computer Science and Psychology allows students to integrate work in these two fields, with each providing tools and theories that can be applied to problems in the other. Such interactions include artificial intelligence, biological perception, cognitive science, and neural modes of computation.
The joint major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is designed for students interested in computer engineering and other areas at the interface between these two fields. It also covers discrete and continuous mathematics; algorithm analysis and design; digital and analog circuits; signals and systems; and systems programming.
Our majors are heavily recruited by leading software companies, as well as for jobs as consultants and on Wall Street. Some students start their own companies or attend graduate or professional school.
The computer science educational facility (affectionately known as the Zoo and the site of regular late-night pizza parties) is located on the third floor of the Arthur K. Watson building, which houses the Department. Its Intel workstations running Linux and Windows are available via both console and remote login 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, giving students in computer science essentially unlimited access.

The Trailer of "P.S. I Still Love You" Is Out and Now People Are Switching to Team John Ambrose
Are you staying loyal to team Peter Kavinsky?
IMAGE YOUTUBE/Netflix
Last year's Netflix runaway rom-com hit, To All the Boys I've Loved Before, is finally returning with a sequel, P.S. I Still Love You—and now that the trailer's officially out, it has the internet completely torn.
Sure, we're all still fawning over Lara Jean and Peter's not-so-fake, newfound romance as a couple. But the game might change now that there's a new guy in the picture... and boy, is he turning heads, including ours Lara Jean's!
Don't know what we're talking about? Catch a glimpse of him—played by none other than Jordan Fisher—in the trailer below:
Yup, everyone's got their eyes set on John Ambrose McClaren, a.k.a. one of the recipients of Lara's old love letters. Especially with that two-second smile near the end, quite frankly, we can't blame anyone for switching lanes.
If you haven't fallen for John Ambrose yet, the actor himself is making a case of his own for the wholesome cutie.
Heck, even Lana Condor herself doesn't know what to do.
P.S. Did you notice the parallel in the trailer?
So, are you team John Ambrose yet? Or are you staying loyal to team Peter Kavinsky 'til the credits roll in?

Look at the Moon in Google Earth – Available Now!
As mentioned by GEB on July 9th, Google is making a big announcement today in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. If you re-start Google Earth right now, you can see the Moon in 3D! Look for the little planet icon in the upper middle of Google Earth and you'll see a new option "Moon". The new moon in Google Earth changes the virtual globe into a 3D rendition of the moon. The terrain of the moon is in 3D and there are layers telling you more about the moon.
The first thing you should check out in the new Google Earth moon mode is the awesome Apollo 11 tour found in the layers under: Moon Gallery->Guided Tours->Apollo 11. This tour is narrated by Andrew Chaiken and Astronaut Buzz Aldrin and is one of the best illustrations of the Apollo 11 mission I've seen to date!
The official announcement doesn't start until 11 AM. I'll be tweeting the event at http://twitter.com/gearthblog Expect more in posts later today. But, right now, re-load Google Earth and look for the moon!
I wonder how accurate it is all the way round? I've often wondered what it might be like to walk all the way round the Moon. Does anyone know, in theory, if it would be possible to walk all the way round the Moon? I mean how long would it take if you could do it?
Pretty awesome! I figured that it was going to be the moon prior to announcement by the little hints that google was throwing out there! Found anything cool yet? I've just found Apollo 12's landing site.
Absolutely fabulous. There's still room for improvement and I've already found an inaccuracy or two (mostly in the placemark box texts), but this is so awesome to use. Great stuff.
Also, if you go on street view on Google Maps, the little street view man is an astronaut!
Though I have given proper source, please tell me if you are uncomfortable with it.
And,@jona, practically you cant walk on moon coz of zero gravitational force. All you can do is hop.
It would be really awesome if Google Earth would get high detail & high resolution color pictures of the moon instead of using pictures from the 70's… I'm sure better pictures have been taken than the ones Google currently has up!
i lyk this 3d satillite!!!!!

When teams of Georgia educators met to discuss how best to revise math education in their state, they agreed to look east for inspiration—the Far East, that is. Obscured by all the debate over the state's proposed science and history standards are ones for mathematics that have been injected with a healthy dose of Asian influence.
Because students in Japan ranked high—fourth—on the Third International Mathematics and Science Survey, a test that was administered in 38 nations in 2001, the educators decided to base Georgia's new math standards on that country's system.
Georgia educators found the Japanese curriculum model appealing for its coherence, said Carolyn Baldree, a mathematics education program specialist with the state education department. Instead of separating algebra from chemistry and so forth, Japanese teachers introduce concepts in the same class. As students progress through the grades, their math lessons build on what they have previously learned, she explained.
In kindergarten through 4th grade, under the proposed standards, Georgia students would work on building a strong base of knowledge in basic arithmetic skills. They would start learning about proportions and percentages in 4th grade. And in the 7th and 8th grades, they would start to learn algebra and geometry, according to Ms. Baldree.
By the time students finished the 8th grade, they would have completed the equivalent of an Algebra 1 class, Ms. Baldree said. Georgia students typically complete that subject at the end of 9th grade.
At the high school level, subjects such as Algebra 1, geometry, and trigonometry would blend together instead of being taught in separate courses. In addition, students would learn more statistics than what is currently taught, Ms. Baldree said.
Such an "integrated," or coherent, approach is common in other countries, according to Johnny Lott, the president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, in Reston, Va.
"Most countries around the world use integrated math," Mr. Lott said. "It is not unheard of" in the United States, he said, "but it is not widely used." For instance, he cited New York as one state where integrated math is currently being tried.
One benefit of melding concepts in math courses is that it gives students more options for solving a problem, said Mr. Lott, a professor of mathematical sciences at the University of Montana-Missoula.
"When a problem comes up, students can use the math they need to solve it, instead of saying, 'This has to be geometry,'" he said. "Integrated math breaks down the barriers."
Across the grades, math would have fewer standards for Georgia students to explore in depth, Ms. Baldree said.
The state school board is scheduled to vote on all the proposed standards in June.
Even though the proposed math standards have not been as hotly debated as others, some educators in the state are concerned that they lack enough detail.
An early draft of the standards lacked "clarity about what it is you are trying to do," said Tom Trotter, the head of the mathematics department at the Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta.
More specifics about the topics covered, students' skill levels, and sample work need to be included, he said, adding that other mathematicians in the state have expressed similar concerns.
In addition, Mr. Trotter said the state education department would need to make sure that teachers were properly trained in how to use the curriculum effectively.
Teachers would have a full year to learn how to implement the proposed curriculum before actually using it, Ms. Baldree said. The curriculum and standards would be phased in over four years. Each year, teachers from different grades would receive training.
The teacher team that conceived the math standards has already revised them once in order to address critics' concerns about clarity, Ms. Baldree said, and could do so again.
"We are open-minded," she said, "because we want what is best for the kids of Georgia."

Bears Reportedly Sign Kicker Redford Jones
January 25, 2019, by Luis Medina Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears' kicking competition has unearthed the first challenger to take Cody Parkey's job:
Congrats to #TeamESM client @redford_jones19 on signing with the @ChicagoBears !! #BearDown #Bears #NFL
— EnterSports Management (@EnterSportsMgmt) January 25, 2019
According to his agency, Redford Jones has signed with the Bears. Jones was part of the kicking caravan who rolled through Halas Hall on Friday for a tryout. In addition to Blair Walsh, Nick Folk, and Austin MacGinnis, ESPN's Field Yares reports that Jones, Josh Gable, and Ernesto Lacayo were also in on the festivities.
It's not a group of household names who inspire a ton of confidence, but sometimes the best kickers come from anonymity. I mean, who knew who Aldrick Rosas was at this time last year? It doesn't matter, because now he is a Pro Bowl kicker for the New York Giants. See … they can come from anywhere!
Now that he has emerged from the pack, let's get to know Redford Jones.
Jones kicked at Tulsa for three seasons, making 50 of 67 kicks (74.6%) and 169 of 172 (97.9%) extra-point attempts. His best season came as a junior when he made 80.8 percent of his field goal tries (21-for-26) and all 67 of his PATs. On November 28, 2016, Jones won the American Athletic Conference's Special Teams Player of the Week award after scoring 10 points (including a pair of important fourth-quarter field goals) in a 40-37 overtime win against Cincinnati. It was Jones' 22-yard boot as time expired that forced overtime, so at least we know he has some experience making clutch kicks.
The Bears' search for a new kicker probably isn't going to end with Jones, but even the greatest adventures can have humble beginnings. Considering how Chicago's season ended, Halas Hall should probably have an open-door policy for anyone with any kind of significant kicking experience.

Jaap Alaskan Woolly Mammoth, "Fang Memoirs of His Life"
Halsey Cohen August 13, 2021 1 min read
Using the tusks of a woolly mammoth that lived 17,000 years ago, scientists have found that the animal has come a long way in its life. The mammoth, who lived about 28 years, traveled an estimated 70,000 kilometers in its Alaskan habitat. For comparison, the circumference of the Earth is 40,000 km.
It is not clear whether the animal regularly chose a different habitat and traveled long distances, or whether it regularly moved over a short distance.
Woolly mammoths are related to today's elephants and roamed the region north of the equator during the Ice Age. "The animal came to different places in Alaska. It's amazing how wide the distance between those areas is," said study researcher Matthew Waller of the University of Alaska. BBC.
tusk as notes
Mammoth tusks have continued to grow in cone-shaped layers of ice cream throughout their lives. This makes them comparable to tree rings and provides a detailed chronological record of the animal's life. "From the moment they're born to the day they die, they have a diary and it's written in their canines," said study co-author Pat Druckenmiller and director of the University of Alaska Museum.

In an age where anyone with access to a Twitter account can throw down the gauntlet on a creative creation, every last promo advertisement and concept art piece has been analyzed for every anime coming out. The Internet is riddled with Is that character making a pose?! Oh it must be a JJBA reference then! or This show was obviously inspired by EVA because the way the one character has his hands folded at the table... kind of tweets- doing the classic two frame comparison of the source material side by side with something that happens to match the original in just that one frame. I'd link some of these, but if anyone goes on to Twitter to look into it (or the AniTwitter as they call it), it'll be there for a dime a dozen.
So does this translate into the approach series take in being created? Instinct alone makes me want to say no, however having fans so easily pulsed through the Internet has to have had some writers or artists mulling their creative decisions. Stories risk tipping off acute analysis when they hit the same beats as last year's hot flavor to come through. Perhaps a show was really cool because it featured a plot twist that turned the concept on its side (surely that was exclusive to that one 2016 anime, right?!). Suddenly people are slamming it because it is a "clone" of another series because it has similar themes and beats. When I say "beats", I am of course referring to the concept of story beats- a less flattering way to address it would be "tropes".
In a recent episode of the AniTAY Podcast (I'll hyperlink to the podcast and timestamp when it becomes available), Gugsy and I went back and forth on whether or not a particular series was unique since it followed a lot of the same beats as another. This season there is a sequel to the series Yuki Yuna is a Hero coming out, which has unfortunately been constantly cast in a gigantic shadow of another series. For those who don't know, Yuki Yuna is somewhat of the martyr for anime that were burned by the Internet for resembling another, more popular series by the name of Madoka Magica. Both shows featured school girls obtaining magical powers (I'm not saying "magical girl" as much as possible here) and were spiced up by psychological plot twists. What YYiaH had working against it, however, is that it came out a considerable amount of time after Madoka had a chance to inject itself into everyone's blood streams.
There certainly is a case to be made that almost any show is trying to capture the same genius that another had, but it defeats the purpose to make something exactly by the playbook of a show like Madoka because the entire reason it was so successful was because there wasn't anything like it at the time. The dark twists kept coming in the guise of a genre that never had any real danger introduced. To try to replicate that would be foolish, dictating more subsistence than that to even be in a conversation as a decent work. Truth be told, Yuki Yuna departs from Madoka almost entirely once the concept of psychological magical gi- m a g i c a l p o w e r s - is moved past. Almost entirely through, Yuki Yuna hits more of its stride as an enjoyable slice of life series, riddled with the occasional dark undertone. In many ways, this builds outstanding chemistry between the cast and makes the stakes even higher when it comes time for the psychological twists.
Surprisingly, the very way that YYiaH uses its twists works in a wholly different way as well. The jerks and pulls in Madoka are sudden and character developments are on the fly thanks to this- a genius concept. In Yuki Yuna, however, characters have to suffer and cope through their progressive losses. Watching them stumble and weep through the cost their actions take on their bodies is stomach churning. The descent for the character development is not a traumatic car accident pace like in first show but rather a small wound, slowly opening until it is too late. Slice of life moments pop up in the middle of the characters' losses and it makes the viewer want the best for them in the few moments they have in a way. That kind of investment doesn't really show through in Madoka.
I can't really go into further comparisons of the two without spoiling things, and I refuse to spoil either series as they are both outstanding series that both deserve some of your time. Much like the Twitter hot takes out there, it is just important to realize that just because two series are alike in optics does not mean they are inspired by, influencing, or copying another. Color this a weak argument, but to call Yuki Yuna a Madoka clone is the same thing as saying that Pepsi is a Coca-Cola clone.


After already heading out on a few road trips ourselves this summer, we know there are a few ways your trip can go a little bit smoother! Follow these tips to make your car ride easy and enjoyable! Plus, pick up some tips for getting creative & making memories along the way.
We love stopping and eating at restaurants on the road, but there are in-between times that you don't need a whole meal, just a few things to snack on. Plus, it's just fun to snack while you're enjoying the views from the car! A simple trail mix or granola bar will keep your detours at a minimum.
Rest stops are great places for stretching your legs and getting fresh air. They're also really great for grabbing some road maps! Although we typically use our phones to keep us heading in the right direction, old-fashioned paper maps come in handy for all types of DIYs when you're home from the trip! Gift tags, wrapping paper and more look a little cooler when made out of interstates and highways. Plus, you'll have a memory associated with them! You could also use the maps as a backdrop for a trip memory box.
Postcards are great to send to friends and family, but we absolutely LOVE the idea of sending postcards to yourself!
Pack stamps in your car to have on hand for when your cross into a new state, or stop somewhere for lunch. Grab a postcard at a gift shop or rest stop from the area, write down a fun note to yourself or something you want to remember and drop it in the mail! This will definitely make coming home a lot more fun! The different stamps and locations will help remind you where you stopped and keep you smiling about the trip days after you return.
Make the road trip part of your vacation this summer! What do you do to make your car rides more enjoyable?
