1/ Reduce to 7 the number of images in your select album, presumably following the choices that were discussed in class.
4/ Look at my entry on this blog on Arles in the "Best Shots" category.
* Post some comments about which photograph you would like to see as the class portrait on this site between the two shot in Arles and the current one from Avignon.
5/ Write a few lines on your blog why you think photographers like to photograph each others, what e have been doing quite a bit ourselves.
6/ Fnish your self-portrait when applicable (Photoshop) and post it on your page, with a border if your taste is so inclined. You may also print it.
That's it, this is your last assignment, no catch up after this one. See you Thursday.
As you know class #7 will take place in Avignon. Make sure to be in front of the building Thursday at 12:30. Yamina will take you to the bus and get your tickets, Kylie has been volunteered to hold them, so don't loose her.
1/ Finalize your portait. Kylie and Sara have a final shot all the others need to rework theirs as was discussed in class. All need to polish the final shot in Photoshop (Highlight/Shadow, Dodge, Burn, turn into b&w etc...) whatever your heart chooses. I hope that the Doisneau exhibit in Avignon will help inspire you. Also, please solicit comments if you have a hard time choosing or deciding what you want to do with your chosen pic.
Make a new entry in your blog under "Self Portrait" featuring all the new shots for those of you who need some. Also make another entry with the picked shot and its Photoshopped version.
If everything goes well we will the post those portraits on your pages on the class site.
2/ Do a panoramic in Photoshop with the frames that you have shot or that. Post the 2,3 different frames in your blog as well as the final result under the photoshop category.
3/ Post more photographs in your large album, notably action shots and from the Avignon trip. add to the select album accordingly.
From the "Grande Corniche" above Monaco.
La Caravane du tour, parked in Brignolles for the first stager arrival.
The rest is on film, stay tuned, delivery for Christmas.
Here is what is expected from you for next Class #6 (Thursday July 2).
* In our usual History of Photography, pick your favorite five from the book between page 192 and 279. Post on your blog with appropriate title and under the category "History of Photography."
* Do some action shots, street shots involving human life: folks that you redeem handsome, interesting, ugly, weird, so typically local etc... Cafés are a good source, and so is Marseille if you want to venture there (train or buses). Post your best 10 in your blog under the title "Human Life 1" and under the category "Missions." Add some of these shots to your large album and select album if warranted.
* If you go to Marseille, consider going to the Chateau d'If and the Frioul. You take the boat from the Old Port. There is also a Wallace Fountain at the top of the Cannebière and some street art nearby that Fountain, that I find very interesting.
* Pick your favorite shot so far, and do some Photoshop to improve it: fine tune the color, dodge burn, do I highlight Shadow if warranted, etc... Post the original version and the new version, and explain what you did, and why you decided to do that. Post that in your blog under the title "Photoshop Exercise 1" under the category "Photoshop." See the "How To" entry on this blog (Photoshop category) about saving a Photoshop file into a jpeg in order to be able to post on your blog.
* Please send me an email to let me know if you are interested by the field trip that I have presented to you and will cost roughly 150 euros per person, assuming that six take it. The trip so far seem to have a 900 Euros budget. I will try to save some money in finding a cheaper car rental, but I don't expect miracles and therefore this budget is in the ballpark of what it will end up being. It includes lunch with Denis Brihat. For dinner we would eat in a medieval creperie under the Castle that I showed you, and that is not included, everybody will pay its own, should be between 10 and 20 Euros depending of your appetite and thirst.
* Thomas Lily, install what suit s your heart in order to process Raw, and then give me in next class your processed files from the camera test, in either Photoshop or Tiff format.
* You all need to be aware that the Tour de France is coming. Prologue and departute in Monaco this weekend, stage departure from Marseille Monday. Be ready!
Here is, as you must be starting to get used to, the summary of what you guys should be doing until Class #5 (Tuesday June 30).
1/ You might want to subscribe to this blog (click on RSS Feed in the sidebar, and follow instructions. For my regular blog one can get email alerts, I don't know if this works for this one, but if you have a Yahoo or Google page, you would get a message on it that will alert you when the boss thinks that life is too easy for you, and the siesta is over.
2/ Most of you, except possibly Thomas, need to work some more about your self portrait. My understanding is that Ammar has shot some, but met technical difficulties to upload them. He can either work some more on it already, or wait for comments. Thomas, you are so fancy clothed, a guy dressed like that most likely knows whether he should be satisfied with what he has or not. Honestly there is not such a thing as a finished work, as in art it is rare that one can say (as I used to hear my step father say about his paintings, but he was wrong): "I am going to stop, because if I try to go further, I'll damage it."
All of you, post your new attempts if you have some, in a new entry, but under the same category "self portrait."
3/ Add more photographs (up to ten), the new ones that you will take this week end or have shot recently, to your large album, and possibly to your select if warranted. You can also withdraw things that don't look so great to you any longer, to either of these albums.
4/ Those of you who have not done that, remember to take care of the categories in your blog (erase default categories that do not apply, and create/apply the appropriate categories. You should have the following categories: History of Photography, Best Of, Self Portrait.
THOMAS: you might want to modify your categories,you have not erased the useless ones, and it seems that you have two categories for History of Photography (it makes it too long a title to add "world" to that one).
KYLIE: You have two categories "class1, 2) that seem to duplicate "History of Photography."
5/ Try to pay a visit to the Montagne Ste Victoire, climb on it up to the top, this week end or in any case before July 1st. This should be a memorable experiencefor you to have climbed Cezanne's mountain. From the top, take the basis for a panoramic view (several would be a good idea), by taking several photographs from left to right and overlap them, until the several photographs cover the span that you want to have in your panoramic. It is ok to put the camera vertical (a.k.a portrait) and/or use the tele part of the zoom rather than a wider angle, you then just have to take more photographs in order to cover the same angle, but the perception is different, try and experiment.
It is important that you understand that the photographs for one pano will be assembled in photoshop more or less automatically, and that they need to have as much as possible the horizon line at the same position in each photograph. It is also a good idea to keep the camera as vertical as possible, otherwise you will have a curved horizon line. And again, leave some room for overlapping, as Photoshop needs that in order to see what is common in the two photographs to assemble them, it calls it "stitch."
5/ Except for Kylie and Emily who have already told me, please confirm if Sat July 18, or Sunday July 19 would work for you for our special field trip.
6/ Some of you have not told me where and when they go in other field trip. I need to know!
7/ You might remember that next weekend is when the Tour de France starts, and you want to do your best to see that, as it is a landmark of France, and this tour is especially exceptional as it starts on the Côte d'Azur which is exceptional.
That's if folks, enjoy, email if you have questions.
1/ Emily only: start an entry on your blog to which you will apply a category "L'Amour" and put in that the photograph that you take about lovers in France, the tittle we came with for that entry is "L'Amour en France" and will be an ongoing entry part of your overall projects.
2/ Everybody: Do a self portrait, either shooting it yourself or by team of two. The important thing is that You come up with the concept about your portrait as to where, how, what's the background, is it a close up or a full view, what's the focal length you use, etc... Your partner if you use one is here mostly to frame for you and press the button, she or he can give you suggestions though, but you decide. We will review them in class and online by posting comments on each others. So when you are done with shooting post your 8 best shots or less, post 4 minimum. CAtegorize this with a new category titled "Self Portrait." After the photographs write what was your concept,why you chose that idea, why that represent you these days in Aix, and then explain why you picked the best one (post the photographs best one up and least favorite at bottom, and according hierarchy in between).
The concept is very important, so surprise us, but not for the sake of surprizing us, it also has to meaningful in regard to who you are.
This is one of my current self portraits, you might have seen it on my website. It was shot in Havana, where I am talking with John Lennon, arguing as always about rebuilding the world. This is what we do together. Of course you get the point, don't you, it should match what I hope you have seen of me already, not too many things are to be taken on the first degree, and at the same time, it is not an accident if this is shot in Havana and in company of John Lennon, by opposition of being in Manhattan looking at Wall Street, for instance.
This is a photograph of the N.C commissioner of Agriculture. As such he is the GodFather of the State fair during which this was shot, as is obvious. As such it is also a good idea for him to wear the tie of NC State U. which is in intimate relationship with the department of Agriculture, and of course this being N.C. it is also a good idea for the commissioner to support tobacco farming which clearly he does not mind doing. Finally he is a good old boy, and all this should perceptible in this photograph.
Finally this is a wedding portrait, which is never a very natural portrait as wearing a bridal gown is nothing natural. This bride was very determined, period, and most probably still is. She also was very determined to make a difference in education. This is what this portrait is about, I could have put her in a classroom, but that would have been less aesthetic, and we could not have done it in her classroom anyhow. So instead I picked some columns on Duke East Campus, which provide an elegant background, and symbolize education in the U.S. Her pose and demeanor obviously express that she was determined to wear the pants at home, her husband is a real sweet heart.
I hope that this gives you more insight about what I expect from you. I personally do not believe in portraits shot in studio,which anyway is not a possibility for you in Aix. Additionally, as we have seen several times, it is important to understand why we do photography and not painting. If we do photography it is important to stick with reality that's what photography is all about and where it takes its roots. Therefore we want to do a portrait as much as possible along those lines. That is called an "Environmental Portrait" where "environment" means that it is shot in an environent meaningfull to who the subject is. This is not new, painters have been doing that for centuries. As I said at the beginning,it is ok to do a close up where the environment might be absent or almost absent, if you have a decent reason for that.
3/ Read page 94 to 191. Pick your 5 favorite photographs and explain why,as you did for class #2. Categorize that with the category "History of Photography" and apply that category as well to what you did to your post for class #2.
4/ Make another entry called "My best pics in France so far." Categorize that in a new category called "Best of," and post your 4 favorites in it in descendent hierarchy (best on top). Do this A.S.A.P. so that we can all start commenting on it. and when posted shoot an email to the group (reply all to one of my emails, just change the subject line).
That's it folks! See you Thursday.
1/ Read "The World history of Photography" (you can check it out from the Library) up to page 143. Pick 5 photographs that you like most among those pages, photography then as well as you can, and post then on your blog writing a short commentary for each of them. See the Website guideline posted here in order to find a basic how to about posting on your blog.
Except for Allison whose blog I took as an example, all of you need to delete the first entry that is on your blog and that I created originally to make sure it worked.
If you do copy and paste text as Lily was inspired to do, do not just paste, instead do Edit/Paste as plain text.
2/ Take a few photographs of whatever appeals most to you of what you know already of the town. Think of really the cream that you want to show to mom and dad or whoever else about how cool this town is. It could be really anything, people, architecture, cars, you name it. Select anywhere between 3 and 10 and put them in your "large album " folder. Make sure that they are 600px wide, not more.
Then copy and paste the 2 photographs that you like best out of these images from the large album, into your select album.
NOTE: You will need first to remove the photographs that I put in your folders for testing. Just delete them as I showed yesterday,both in the actual folders, and then in the album page in rapid weaver. Remember that you should create a hierarchy in your album folders, some sort of order that has a logic, the one you will choose. And then upload.
That's it for now, but it is just the beginning. My best wishes.

Aldea del Fresno es un municipio y localidad española del suroeste de la Comunidad de Madrid. El término municipal, por el que discurren los ríos Alberche y Perales, cuenta con una población de .

Geografía

Las tierras de Aldea del Fresno se encuentran recorridas de norte a sur por el río Alberche, que entra dejando atrás el embalse de Picadas para seguir la dirección sureste. Dicho río sufre un brusco cambio de sentido hacia el suroeste en las proximidades del casco urbano donde recibe al río Perales, perdiéndose por el sur en el límite con Villa del Prado y Santa Cruz del Retamar.

La orografía presenta lomas de escasa altitud tapizadas de frondosa vegetación por el norte, con monte bajo y encinares que se extienden por el resto del término. Este municipio es el más bajo de la Comunidad de Madrid con los 476 metros de altitud que tiene su ayuntamiento.

Se accede a él a través de las carreteras M-507 y M-510, y limita al norte con Chapinería y Navas del Rey; al sur, con Méntrida y Santa Cruz del Retamar; al este con Villamanta y Villamantilla, y al oeste con Villa del Prado y San Martín de Valdeiglesias.

Naturaleza

En todo el municipio hay muchas encinas, típicas de la presierra de Guadarrama, enebros, quejigos y matorrales como la jara, la retama, el cantueso, la aulaga, el tomillo, alisos, fresnos, sauces, álamos y chopos.

El elemento principal de su medio natural es el río Alberche con sus afluentes Perales y Berciana. La alternancia de encinas y monte bajo se rompe cuando aparece la frondosa vegetación de ribera.

En la finca de El Rincón se sitúa el Safari Madrid (antes Safari El Rincón, fundado por los hermanos Fernando y Carlos Falcó y Fernández de Córdoba, marqueses de Cubas y de Griñón, adscrita a la organización Chipperfield). En la promoción de la mencionada finca colaboró el naturalista Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente entre los años 1978 y 1979, y tras la muerte del famoso divulgador, gran parte de los lobos con los que trabajó fueron trasladados al Safari El Rincón.

Historia
El pueblo es de origen ibero-romano, siendo ocupado por las legiones de Augusto en el . Durante la Baja Edad Media fue totalmente destruido. Durante la Reconquista fue liberado del yugo opresivo musulmán, pasando a formar parte del Reino de Castilla y, concretamente, del sexmo de Casarrubios.

En 1627 pasó a posesión de Catalina de Mendoza, más tarde nombrada marquesa de la Fresneda, vizcondesa y señora del Fresno.

En 1833 la Aldea fue incluida en la provincia de Madrid. En 1891 se instaló una vía férrea que pasaba por el municipio, pero ya en la década de 1970 dejó de funcionar. En la actualidad se está intentando adaptar como vía verde.

Servicios

Transportes

Autobús

Educación
En Aldea del Fresno hay una guardería pública y un colegio público de educación infantil y primaria.

Monumentos y lugares de interés
Su faceta artística y monumental está representada por la iglesia parroquial de San Pedro Apóstol, la noria árabe y la antigua Casa Consistorial, que alternan con modernas construcciones, entre las que destacan el Ayuntamiento y las antiguas escuelas situadas en la actual casa de cultura.

Del pasado histórico quedan, en fincas privadas, la ermita de El Santo así como otras construcciones de los siglos  y , que no pueden ser visitados, y la ermita frente a la que se encuentra un crucero del siglo , y las ruinas de la ermita de San Polo, en el despoblado del mismo nombre, junto al camino que parte de las proximidades del Safari, en la M-507.

Cultura

Fiestas

En la localidad se celebrarían San Antón el 17 de enero —con una fiesta de solteros y casados—, los Carnavales en febrero, la Semana de la mujer en marzo, Santa María del Fresno el último domingo de mayo, la Semana Cultural una semana antes de las fiestas patronales, San Pedro Apóstol el 29 de junio —fiestas patronales de la localidad— y la Verbena de la Paloma el 15 de agosto.

A man who claims a spirit tells him medical information from the future has 3.3 million likes on Facebook and the admiration of Robert De Niro. But is he always right? What's with his obsession with the Epstein-Barr virus and celery juice? And is he practicing medicine without a license?
This is episode 25 of Cracked Science, for January 16th, 2019.


I recently took a trip to Tomales Bay which is a short drive to the North of San Francisco near wine country to learn all about the oysters they harvest as well as how to make smoked oysters. If you're in town, I highly recommend spending a day driving out there to enjoy the oysters, the spectacular views of the bay. There are lots of little towns on the way, that have great options for food too!


Hybrid vehicles are a big deal, reducing oil consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. But plug-in hybrids are even better, especially since electricity is cheaper and the CO2 is localized to a power plant where, theoretically, it could be captured and sequestered. Plug-in hybrid vehicles are like your standard hybrid, but you can plug your car into a 240 V wall socket to charge up the batteries so that you run the car for the first few miles exclusively on electric power. This would keep the car running on battery power for those 20 minute jaunts to the grocery store or liquor store. And now the first commercially-developed plug-in hybrid is being developed by Toyota.
Toyota's new Prius Plug-In HV has been approved for road testing in Japan. The car only gets 8 miles on a single charge due to the batteries, but given that the present Prius would only get about 2 miles, this is still a significant improvement. I won't speak for anyone else, but my nearest grocery store is less than 4 miles away, so I could go to and from my grocery store without this new Prius ever turning on the internal combustion engine to recharge the batteries.
The Prius has also been successfully retrofitted with plug-in lithium-ion batteries by at least one company, EDrive Systems, if you don't want to wait for the official Prius Plug-In HV release.
Sounds like a good excuse for power companies to go on nuclear power plant building binge to meet the increased demand for electricity.
Cutting CO2 emissions while still growing our global economy and reducing poverty (global economic growth is the only way to pull this off) will require more than just efficiency improvements. It'll require a massive commitment to renewable energy research (cellulosic ethanol, solar, tidal, wind, geothermal, bacterial), plug-in hybrid vehicles of all types, carbon sequestration, massive reductions in global energy consumption, AND more nuclear power plants, specifically breeder reactors. We'll literally have to do all of this and more to pull it off.
So don't come down on nuclear power – there's no other technology that's ready for prime time and that emits almost no CO2 at the same time. Nothing else can produce the power that nuclear can, and nothing else will be able to for quite some time.
Bacterial? That's a new one for me. Could you provide a link or two, pls?
I'd classify this one as "so cutting edge that the wound hasn't even had time to start bleeding yet," but it could be interesting nonetheless. We definitely need more research into this one.
I'm waiting for an electric VW Beetle, which would make it the Plug-In Bug.
I think we can do better than nuclear energy. Don't forget free energy. (Don't laugh.) With peak oil rushing at us as fast as climate change, we've forgotten about all the work done in that field. Perhaps out of necessity, we're reaching for solutions that are close to hand.
Even if I buy that any of those things are possible (and I'm pretty sure I don't for most of them), none of them will be able to produce gigaWatts of power in the next 10-20 years. Coal, natural gas, and nuclear can, but only nuclear can do it with little to no CO2 emissions.
Many moons ago I worked for a company that built nuclear power plants. At the same time, I had relative who was a nuclear engineer. He said he wouldn't live within 50 miles of one and if trust in nuclear construction were motor oil, my dipstick would be bone dry.
You also must include the refining and waste cycle in the CO2 emissions claims. Mining and enriching U238 to commercial reactor grade (about 5-7%) takes huge amounts of fossil fuel consumption. I don't trust anybody in control of reactor safety decisions that also must bow to the bottom line. To trust this industry it needs an independent watch dog, not the current NRC lap dog. Where is Uncle Hymie when you need him?
Re No. 8: Thanks for that insight, ExNavy Nuke guy. Funny how it always takes energy to make energy. Just like it takes money to make money.
7. 3bells, the U.S. bodies pushing nuclear power have learned from their mistakes. France and Japan are the two models for nuclear power we need to follow, and they have a couple of industry standardized designs that everyone knows how to build and that are cheaper because they're standardized.
In addition, there are ways to make nuclear power plants to reliable that it literally takes a failure of the laws of physics to get one to melt down. Reactors like this didn't exist (they didn't have the technology and understanding of reactor dynamics at the time) back in the 1960s and 70s.
8. ExNavy Nuke Rx Operator, thanks for bringing this up. This is why I try to say that nuclear is relatively carbon emission-free, not totally free. But most of the time, the cost of production isn't included in the CO2 emissions. So the CO2 costs of mining, drilling, and, in the case of renewable fuels, fertilizing and growing aren't usually included. This is starting to change, thankfully, since we really need a total picture of CO2 emissions, but how we define "total" is somewhat arbitrary. The problem is where to stop tracking back the emissions – do we include the manufacture of the bulldozer and the CO2 emissions of the dynamite plant? I don't know, but everyone can and should come to an agreement on a reasonable stopping point.
"KASHIWAZAKI, Japan (AP Jul 17) – A long list of problems, including radiation leaks, burst pipes and fires, came to light Tuesday at the world's largest nuclear power plant, a day after it was hit by a powerful earthquake.
Even so, Japan's reactors are still safer than the latest reactors in the U.S. And keep in mind that the reactor mentioned in the first paragraph had just survived an earthquake.
One thing that people don't really get is that we get exposed to radiation all the time. Here in the states the DoE is charged with regulating radiation that is lower than the background radiation emitted by the ground. You get exposed to more radiation on airplanes, especially on transcontinental polar routes, than you do from nuclear power plants even if you happen to live right next to one.
I don't deny that we need to be smart about our next foray in to nuclear power, but foolproof designs have been developed and have been ready for the word "go" for years now.
As far as the waste is concerned, we've known what to do with it for a long time now, but NIMBY litigation based on irrational fears of radiation have prevented us from doing it. Take the waste, mix it up into glass ingots, embed the ingots in concrete and then stainless steel, and drop the suckers several miles down a big borehole. And waste is another reason to decommission the existing plants – new designs produce a LOT less waste and there are some thoughts that some of the existing spent fuel rods could be recommissioned as either breeder fuel blankets or reprocessed into breeder reactor fuel.
Brian, I'll defer to your expertise on this, but once upon a time I seem to recall research showing that low-level radiation from coal resulted in a higher overall radiation footprint than the nuke cycle. That's been awhile and it may have changed, but at the least it's important to understand that nukes aren't the only source of radiation in the world….
It depends on what is meant by "footprint", but yes, coal plants release significant quantities of radioactive elements into the environment. The radionucleotides tend to concentrate in the leftover ash that is generally buried in landfills or used for concrete filler. And a single plant can produce tons of the stuff. This site does a quick calculation that estimates about 88 lbs of radioactive material produced every day just due to the trace elements present in the coal, while nuclear power plants emit almost nothing.
Yes, it survived an earthquake AND they still had to lie about the damge done. As I said above, if trust were motor oil, my dipstick would be dry.

NYC orders mandatory vaccines for some amid measles outbreak
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City has declared a public health emergency over a measles outbreak and ordered mandatory vaccinations for some people who may have been exposed to the virus.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the order Tuesday. It covers people who live in four ZIP codes in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood, where more than 250 people have gotten measles since September.
The declaration requires all unvaccinated people in those areas who may have been exposed to the virus to get the vaccine, including children over 6 months old.
People who resist could be fined $1,000.
The outbreak has been centered in Williamsburg's large community of Orthodox Jews.
Earlier this week, the city ordered religious schools and day care programs serving that community to exclude unvaccinated students or risk being closed down.

Lockdown school: keeping calm and carrying on at home
@Samfr now has other worries beyond mere lockdown schooling
The elderly father-in-law of an old friend had an unfortunate habit of announcing in pubs, rather too loudly, "I was a grammar school headmaster, y'know!" The regulars would reply, "No need to shout about it. We can tell!"
Quiet and understated by nature, I refrain from such declarations, though in Godzone's Red Lion I'm still too frequently asked, "You on holiday again? Again?" I respond in some exasperation, "No, I'm retired!".
Wow! See what I did there? I accidentally slipped into the present. Alas, thanks to the virus and lockdown, for the time being the past tense is required, "when I used to be in the Red Lion", though we shall be visiting to collect one of landlord Iain's new take-away meals this week.
Reverting to my former profession, I raise my hat to erstwhile colleagues, battling on at some risk to themselves as many schools continue to admit both the children of key workers and those deemed vulnerable and thus safer in school. At the same time, they're striving to keep academic programmes going for all their pupils.
Some secondaries are using the latest technology to teach directly. Others are using emails to set work (arguably the easy bit) and to get it in to mark (ah, that's the drawback!). For the most part, I suspect primary schools are more relaxed, reasoning (rightly) that, for now, a prolonged holiday will do no long-term harm to younger ones' learning.
What's known as EduTwitter keeps me up to date both on what schools are doing to try to keep in touch with their pupils during the lockdown and, much more amusingly, on how most parents are coping with the challenge of doing school at home.
We Brits frequently use humour to get through a crisis, and this topic has provided plenty of laughs from Tweeting parents. Immediate reaction to school closures came from Voice of the North co-founder Keith Hann: "My children are not exactly weeping, wailing, gnashing their teeth or rending their clothes over the imminent and indefinite closure of their primary school. Their mother and I, on the other hand…"
Some parents have learned respect for their kids' teachers: "After 30 minutes of trying to teach my 6 year-old I think teachers should all be paid £1m a year."
Another was less droll but no less appreciative: "After 1 week with a 7 and 9 year-old my admiration for primary school teachers is off the scale… To keep kids that age fully focussed and deliver the work they do, I don my virtual hat. Totally amazing." I think they meant "doff my hat", but we get the sentiment.
Some parents go beyond admiration for teachers, in their absence, and feel pressure from children underwhelmed by their teaching skills: "From my nine year old's diary (which she read to me): 'it all began on Friday when Bojo decided to close the schools. Now we are at home being taught by unqualified teachers'. I think she means me, I am trying my best."
Indeed you are. Keep calm and carry on.
And how are the kids coping? A farmer-neighbour in Godzone (our little patch of North Northumberland) asked his lad if he wanted to come up the hill and help with some calving. "I can't, Dad," came the reply. "I've got to log on to school at 9am." Blimey! No messing with attendance at that virtual school! His dad says he's never seen him work so hard.
One Tyneside school Tweeted an essay by a 13-year-old boy. "Lockdown is dreadful. I am so bored and fed up already… It is far worse than I expected it to be: I wish I was back at school. I have unending amounts of work which feel like they will go on forever."
Perhaps lockdown will mirror the old joke about the chap who asked his doctor how he could live to be a hundred. "Give up drink, cigarettes and women, and eschew red meat."
"And will I live to be 100, Doc?"
"No, but it will seem like it."
Keep calm. Carry on.

Guy Ryder, Director-General ILO, visits the Domestic Workers Sector Skills Council at Prayas
The DG speaks about the shared vision of achieving rights and protection of domestic workers with the Domestic Workers Sector Skill Council and partners.
News | 06 July 2016
ILO News (New Delhi): The Director-General observed a skill training programme and interacted with the domestic worker trainees and trainers at Prayas in New Delhi. Amod Kanth, Founder of Prayas, a development organization working in the field of rescuing children and adults in forced labour and victims of trafficking, and Chairman of the Domestic Workers Sector Skills Council (DWSSC), spoke of the crucial role DWSSC plays in linking domestic work with better working conditions and wages. He said that the DWSSC not only helps the domestic workers in upgrading their skills but also makes them aware of their fundamental rights, which includes negotiating on wages through collective bargaining, eliminating all forms of bonded labour, legal protection and exercising the right to be treated as integral and valuable members of the society.
Kanth said "Domestic work sector in India is huge. The latest KPMG report says that nearly 7.3 million people in India are employed as domestic workers. The Ministry of Labour and Employment in 2009 appointed a task force to formulate a national policy on domestic work. This was a step in the right direction. Six years ago MoLE and ILO initiated the skills training pilot at Prayas, which has today resulted in the formation of the Domestic Workers Sector Skill Council (DWSSC). This is a unique breakthrough, as this is only SSC which is led by consortium of different partners, rather than being led by industry. ILO is the first international organization that has taken action to enable the recognition of domestic work as a critical economic activity."
Kanth also spoke of the various landmark achievements such as the inclusion of definition of domestic workers in the Jharkhand Private Placement Agencies and Domestic Workers (Regulation) Bill of 2016. He said that this bill drafted in partnership with ILO has the potential to be replicated across the country which in effect will mean that for the first time regulatory checks and balances will be put in place with regard to domestic work.
Guy Ryder, Director-General ILO, said "Ten years ago domestic work was not even recognized. The successes of India in recognizing the importance of domestic work in this regard is nothing short of a revolution. One thing that impresses me a great deal is how we are able to put together a lot of different components of domestic work into a single programme. Skilling, rights and protection, among other issues help open up avenues of career progression for the workers. However, we still need the legislative framework– to work together with placement agencies and also examine issues of trafficking. The key is to have an integrated approach. National programmes and legislations can also in future lead to the ratification of ILO's convention 189 which speaks of the rights and protection of domestic workers."
He added, "The issue of domestic workers and the care economy will continue to be on the agenda of ILO for years to come. We have to make sure that the domestic workers are fully-valued members of the society and that their work is treated with dignity."

Warming Island Broken Channel Due To Global Warming, 2006 Greenland, Warming Island The snow bridge had melted. Whether the result of man's activities or not, it was clear to us that the warming of the earth had caused this event. One of the team members, John Collins Rudolf, fresh out of journalism school, wrote an article. It appeared on the front page of the New York Times Science section on January 16, 2007. My photograph (above) accompanied the article.
We sped over east Greenland. Four of us were accompanying Dennis Schmitt. We were on our way from Constable Pynt. We were going to Warming Island, the focus of an important discovery that he had made a year earlier: an ice bridge had melted away, revealing that a piece of land previously thought to be part of Greenland was in fact an island. This was the first time he, or any or us – or, likely, for that matter, any human – would walk there. Our mission was to survey and verify.
We pointed to a col between two mountains. The pilot took the helicopter down and rested it on the rocks. The mechanic got out to check the stability of the landing. We all got out and dropped our bags. That spot would be our camp. Off we went again.
We flew along the great, fingered peninsula. It was several miles long and stuck out straight into the fjord that now separated us from Greenland. The scenery was incredible. Clouds drifted in canyons, the deep blue sea beneath them visible only in glimpses. The map showed it to be connected to the mainland by ice. We were in the moment of a historically significant event.
We flew back to our camp site. We settled down again onto the ground. Five of us got out: Dennis Schmitt, John Collins Rudolf, his father John Rudolf, Eric Ristau and myself. The pilot and the mechanic stayed in the chopper and sped away to Constable Pynt.
The light left the sky very, very gradually. The Northern Lights appeared. This is the first time I had ever seen them.
Last night there was a big storm, with winds in the range of 60 knots. In the morning, there was an arc of snow that went all the way to the top of my tent door!
In the morning, a polar fox came to our camp looking for food.
We went out today across the glacier. We had to avoid two hidden crevasses. We found a spot with a good view of the strait.
I stayed there to photograph the crimson sunset. As I started back, there was a rock fall about fifteen feet wide that fell not far from where we had been. It probably would not have gotten to us, but it certainly would have given us a good scare.
At night, I saw the Northern Lights for the second time. I set up the tripod and took a score of time exposures, most of them at 30 seconds using an ASA 400 setting. I was wearing only my tennis shoes with thermal socks. At first my feet were freezing, but later, in the excitement, I lost the sense of cold. John Collins came over and checked out my time exposures. Then Dennis stuck his head out of his tent. Later, Eric and I continued taking photographs. We would talk for a few minutes. Then the Northern Lights would appear. We would click our shutters, then continue talking! It was a spectacular evening!

Eugenics Caused Massive Drop in Births Of Babies With Down Syndrome in Europe: Study
By Krizzia Paolyn Reyes Jan 08, 2021 09:14 AM EST
(Photo : Liv Bruce / Unsplash)
Prenatal screenings in Europe contributed to the decrease in the birth rate per year of babies with down syndrome, a report says.
According to the recent study of the European Journal of Human Genetics published in December 2020, an average of 54% of babies with DS (Down syndrome) got to see the world between 2011 and 2015, Breitbart reported
Researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital and international Down syndrome organizations collected data from multiple databases throughout Europe in order to get a close estimate.
"But without an accurate estimate, it's impossible for policymakers and advocacy organizations to determine how many resources and support services are needed for its Down syndrome population," pointed senior author and medical geneticist Brian G. Skotko, MD, MPP.
The new screening test called NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing), also called NIPS (Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening), will detect the possibility of unlikely conditions in the chromosomes of a 9-week-old unborn baby.
The expectant mother or parents will decide whether to proceed with more genetic testing or not. However, this prenatal diagnosis led to "elective terminations" in both U.S. and Europe.
CNA (Catholic News Agency) reports that NIPT for Down syndrome has been available in the UK since 2012. But now that NIPS is becoming more available to everyone, the birth rate for babies with DS will continue to drop in the coming years.
Without these selective terminations, though, the study suggests that there would have been about 17,331 births of babies with DS in Europe between 2011 and 2015. Now, there are only approximately 8,031 births annually.
Southern Europe has the highest reduction rate in DS births (71%), followed by Northern Europe (51%) and Eastern Europe (38 %).
Collective efforts were sought to address this growing trend of premature abortion.
In the UK, the "Don't Screen Us Out" campaign works to have the Abortion Act of 1967 amended to include the outlaw of eugenic abortions by widely raising awareness on this issue.
In Poland, the High Court ruled the outlaw of eugenic abortions in October but was vehemently opposed by pro-abortion groups and movements.
Women's Strike protested the court's ruling by organizing public demonstrations in several cities. One of their main targets was the residence of Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who is the leader of Poland's ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS).
In their defense, the court maintained that child abortion out of presumed flaws is systemic eugenics first perpetrated by the Nazis against Jews followed by the Planned Parenthood in the U.S. against people of color and non-white communities.
Back to the study, the researchers hope that governments and DS organizations will work together using their data in support of the couples receiving prenatal DS diagnosis. Skotko gave one concrete example.
"Massachusetts, for example, has an outstanding network of parents who are willing to talk about their lived experiences of raising children with Down Syndrome."
The brains behind the network is a non-profit which also aims to train and organize similar groups in Brazil, Japan, and other countries.

"It's Had A Transformational Effect On Young People's Access To Cricket" – Head of Player Development Reflects On A Successful 2022
"Quite Simply It's Had A Transformational Effect On Young People's Access To Cricket" – Head of Player Development Reflects On A Successful 2022
We sat down with Head of Player Development, Charlie Freeston, to discuss the opportunities provided to young people in 2022 courtesy of the new Hampshire Hawks City Academy – which integrated with the Lord's Taverners Wicketz community programme – and in a year where a record number of girls were nominated for involvement in the Club's Performance Pathway
What is the Hampshire Hawks City Academy and what has it set out to achieve?
The Hampshire Hawks City Academy was created in November 2021, with our partners Cantell School, and in collaboration with Hampshire Cricket Board and Lord's Taverners Wicketz programme. The programme was established to help provide young people in inner-city and urban areas with the opportunity to access high quality cricket coaching and facilities.
Why is this provision so important?
Without a programme of this nature, young people in urban areas - such as Southampton – simply wouldn't have access to high level cricket coaching and facilities. In providing this access, and doing so within the structured framework of the programme, young people from a range of different backgrounds – who otherwise wouldn't have had the opportunity to play and train – are given the opportunity to realise their potential.
How has the Hampshire Hawks City Academy been brought to life?
Our initial focus was on Southampton – a city where there are no publicly available outdoor cricket nets – and via our partnership with Cantell School, Hampshire Cricket Board and Lord's Taverners Wicketz programme we were able to provide access to facilities, equipment and coaching staff across the city. To ensure we could realise the potential of the programme we appointed a member of staff – and former professional cricketer – James Hibberd, to deliver the programme. New Balance Teamwear, an official partner of Hampshire Cricket, then kindly provided kit for participants in the Academy.
What has the programme achieved in its first year?
Quite simply, the Hampshire Hawks City Academy has had a transformational effect on young people's access to cricket in Southampton.
The Academy integrated with existing participation programmes – most prominently the Lord's Taverners Wicketz programme – and in 2022 alone these programmes gave 3,200 children and young people the opportunity to take part in regular sessions across 20 schools and seven community hubs in Southampton.
The Hampshire Hawks City Academy – with twelve players partaking in weekly coaching sessions and playing a number of competitive fixtures across the summer, including one on The Ageas Bowl's main pitch – has helped a diverse group of young people, who previously had no access to organised cricket, go on to feature in club cricket and even progress into Hampshire Cricket's established Performance Pathway which helps identify and nurture the professional players of the future.
Nine players from the Hampshire Hawks City Academy have made the step into the Club's Performance Pathway and that's one of the most pleasing elements of the programme in that it provides aspirational young people, who otherwise might have been lost to the game, the opportunity to make the most of their talent and passion for cricket.
The programme itself was nominated for and won the 'Community Engagement Campaign of the Year' award at the ECB's 2022 Business of Cricket Awards and to be recognised amongst all the great work happening across the game reaffirms the significant impact the programme has had.
You mention the Club's Performance Pathway; what is it and what opportunity does it offer for boys and girls across the county?
The Performance Pathway is essentially the Club's talent identification programme for young people – all the way from U9s – that sits below the Club's Academy sides and ensures the most talented young male and female cricketers in the county are given the opportunity to maximise their potential.
Our longstanding ambition is to increase the size and depth of our pathway and in 2022 over 2,100 boys and girls were trialled or given taster sessions with a record number of girls nominated for involvement in 2022's pathway. At the same time, it's important that we provide opportunity to a broad base of young people, with 50% of the young people trialled or featuring in taster sessions in 2022 being state-school educated and one in six of the young people we saw coming from ethnically-diverse backgrounds.
And in terms of progression from the Pathway into the professional set-up, 34 players from the Performance Pathway have been selected for the Hampshire Academy since 2019, with nine Academy graduates being offered professional contracts in the same period; while eleven graduates from the Southern Vipers Pathway have gone on to represent the Vipers since 2016 and most impressively, five Southern Vipers players featured for England sides in 2022 alone – 3 of whom have come through the Vipers Pathway.
How does the Club plan to build on this success in 2023?
2023 promises to be an exciting year for the Club in this space. A priority is to build on the success of the Hampshire Hawks City Academy, with the Club looking to establish the programme in other urban areas across the county while continuing to offer opportunities for a diverse group of young people in Southampton who otherwise might not be able to access such cricketing provision.
At the same time, we're keen to offer even more boys and girls from all backgrounds with a passion for cricket the opportunity to join and be involved with programmes on our Performance Pathway, while providing a clear and structured route into our Academy and First XI sides.

Her PhD project (2015, University of Oslo) investigated a specific, and highly charged, architectural element of domestic architecture – the doorway – in late Iron Age/Viking Age Scandinavia (550-1050 CE). The dissertation was awarded His Majesty the King's Gold Medal for scientific inquiry by younger scholars of excellence (2016).
Her current research project, Archaeology of Dwelling, is funded by an independent grant from the Research Council of Norway/Marie Curie, and is co-hosted by the universities of Cambridge and Oslo. The project springs from an apparent paradox: how and why could a specific form of dwelling – the three-aisled longhouse – survive in Scandinavia for almost three thousand years, from the early Bronze Age (1800-500 BCE) throughout the Iron Age (IA, 500BCE-1050 CE), simultaneously as Scandinavian societies underwent groundbreaking social, ideological, and political changes?
Dr Hem Eriksen is also researching the deposition of infants and children in wetlands and settlement contexts on the North-Atlantic fringe in the first millennium CE.
When not immersed in the deep past, she enjoys reading and – although she states she is neither fast nor technically apt – running.

I know, I know. This isn't virtual orchestral music. But same as the synth tracks I posted a while back, this has more in common with orchestral music than typical rock or metal. Plus it features virtual and sampled instruments in a pretty major way.
Anyhow. Late last year I had an idea for a prog rock/metal space opera kind of thing. And while the story itself is still very sketchy in my mind, I've had some musical ideas at the back of my head for a long time now that I wanted to get out of my system. So this past week I've stitched them together into an overture.
It should be mentioned that this is nowhere near from finished in any way. Placeholder guitars, drums are sketchy with bits missing here and there, and I have only spent enough time on the mixing to get stuff in the ballpark.
And in case you're curious, this is the background story.
Quote: The Gaia, also known as Ark One, was a collossal colonization spaceship conceived and designed by the EPI [Earth Preservation Initiative] during the late 21'st century. After 19 years of construction and exstensive testing it was successfully launched from high Earth orbit on June 8, 2099, populated by around 800,000 people, crew included. Equipped with an early version of the Jin-Xu drive, the Gaia set its course for the habitable zone of the Proxima Centauri system, 4.243 light years from Earth. Launch-time calculations predicted that this journey would take 300 years, or around 12 generations. Thanks to rapid development of the Jin-Xu principle and drive design, the predicted travel time was halved two years into the mission. Again, at seven years under way, another update to the drive could have made the Gaia reach it destination in just over a 100 years, but since transmissions from Earth had become so massively delayed this far out, it is not known whether the Gaia ever received any Jin-Xu updates after that.
In 2109, Earth received its last official transmission from the Gaia. Over a number of years after that, various messages from people aboard the ship sifted back to Earth. These reported that the Gaia had been taken over by a religious cult known as the Creed. According to some, the Creed had its roots within the ship itself, being formed years into the journey. According to others, the cult had been present ever since leaving Earth, biding its time and waiting for the opportune moment to seize control. All sources however seemed to agree that the Creed's purpose was bringing the word of God to a heathen universe, and to that end they ruled the Gaia with an iron fist.
Earth lost all contact with the Gaia after January 7, 2136. To this day it is not known what happened to the ship. A memorial service for the 800,000 souls aboard the Gaia was held at the First Intersolar Spaceport outside London, England in 2140.
Let me know what you think!

6 Months of PB Love for that super-special someone!
Every month, we'll send the batch out to your lucky recipient immediately after it's made so it will be as fresh as possible. Each month we also include a little something extra like some specialty crackers to keep the love as fresh as our nut butters.


The unending circle of an Eternity Ring is considered one of the most meaningful representations of Eternal love. With that in mind, what could be more perfect than to illustrate a couples eternal love than with an unending circle of precious metal? And with the association of Diamonds to enrich the illustration, there is no better way only perfecting the picture of eternal love.


Question: "Everyone tells me I need to eat but when I'm stressed out (which is often) I don't feel like eating. If I do eat, the food just sits there and I end up with a stomach ache. What should I do?"
Answer: When we are stressed or experiencing anxiety our body goes into 'fight or flight' mode and this causes changes in the body – which includes a change in how our stomach and digestive system function. The stress response signals our stomach to stop breaking down food so it can focus on getting us out of what we perceive to be danger instead of focusing on other body processes.
That's why when the body is under stress and/or anxiety, many people experience stomach pains, digestive problems, or a lack of appetite.
#1 Deep breathing before meals. Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Repeat 4-5 times. This helps to bring our body back into a calm state and allows us to be in 'rest and digest' mode so not only will it help us to calm down but it will allow our body to turn back on the hunger signals and help us to better digest food and avoid the stomach pains, bloating or nausea you may be experiencing.
#2 Smoothies and soups. A smoothie or soup is a really easily digestible way to pack in a lot of nutrients that doesn't require chewing or our body to have to work so hard to break down food -especially if you don't have an appetite and a piece of chicken or heavy meal is looking really unappetizing. You can pack your smoothie with nourishing ingredients like antioxidant rich berries; avocados for delicious creaminess and brain boosting healthy fats, chia seeds or flax seeds for fiber and tons of vitamins & minerals, as well as protein powder for a protein boost and a handful of leafy greens. You can also try adding some super-food powders like a greens powder or Maca powder for a phytogreen and energy boost.
Same for soups, blend up as many vegetables as you can and add a healthy grain like quinoa or rice!

Business Rate Policy – What's Happening in Wales?
Andrew West
Cooke & Arkwright's Rating Director, Andrew West, delivered a speech on Business Rate Policy in Wales on Thursday 7th June at the 18th National Rating Day Congress at the Congress Centre in London. The event was attended by over 300 senior business rate professionals, government officials and ratepayers. The Welsh Business Rates system, Andrew told the audience, has much to commend it.
He explained that the system in England is under pressure from the recently introduced and much criticised Check, Challenge, Appeal (CCA) process. Appeals in England fell from 222,960 in the first 12 months of the 2010 list, to just 23,770 Checks in the first 12 months of the 2017 list. Of these, only 2,620 have progressed to the Challenge stage. While Wales has also seen a fall in the number of appeals thus far, it is much less pronounced – from 11,270 to 4,860. The appeal system in Wales is simpler, with fewer barriers to constructive dialogue. There have been regular calls for evidence over the past five years and a number of formal consultations conducted, including Task and Finish Groups, which have had some impact. A number of targeted reliefs have been implemented, including a new permanent Small Business Rate Relief Scheme effective from 1st April 2018.
Andrew explained that the Welsh Government Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government had accepted that there were problems with the CCA process in England, and to-date the Welsh Government has made no announcement on changes to the system in Wales. Andrew predicted that it was now unlikely that any changes would be implemented until the next revaluation, which might be brought forward a year, as in England, to 2021.
It is hoped this will be followed by a move to more regular, three yearly revaluations as has been announced in England, rather than the current five-yearly cycle. This would seem to be likely, given that the Valuation Office Agency probably doesn't have the resources to prepare a rating list in Wales working on a different cycle to England
The 'Authority to Act' declaration in Wales has addressed many of the perceived problems in the current system without resorting to the complexities introduced by the CCA registration in England. Lessons have been learned from the deficiencies of CCA and the Welsh Government will probably find a middle ground, albeit with a more formal process of written exchange.

Andrew is a spokesperson for the RICS Wales on property taxation, and has given evidence to the National Assembly's Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee and the Welsh Government's Business Rates Task and Finish Group. He is a member of the Welsh Ratepayer's Forum and RICS National Rating and Local Taxation Policy Panel advising the Westminster Government.
2017 Rating Revaluation
Cooke & Arkwright have been providing rating valuation advice to The Welsh Rugby Union Limited ("WRU") and Millennium Stadium plc for many years. They were recently successful in achieving substantial reductions in the assessments of the Millennium Stadium, covering both the 2005 and 2010 rating list. These negotiated reductions yielded savings of c.£3.5m which, crucially, allows the WRU to re-invest in rugby throughout Wales. They advise the WRU across the group portfolio including the National Centre of Excellence in the Vale of Glamorgan. The valuation issues across the WRU portfolio are complex requiring a high level of understanding of the funding and finances of professional sport in Wales. Cooke & Arkwright's experience and understanding of these issues and application to the rating valuation have yielded these substantial negotiated reductions. The WRU and the Millennium Stadium entrust our work to organisations with the required levels in experience and expertise in dealing with these complex issues. I am glad to say we have this expertise in Wales. I would have no hesitation in recommending ratepayers making use of this Welsh based expertise.

The basic purpose of a Toy Hauler is to be able to carry transportation with you-the back door drops open into a ramp that allows you to drive an ATV, Golf Cart, motorcycle, or even a very small car up into the trailer.
I don't have transportation to haul, yet. So, one of the coolest things I do with my Toy Hauler is drop the back door down part way, and prop it up with "legs", creating a walk out deck that can also become an enclosed porch. A heavy white vinyl panel wall with screen on the top half that zippers open and closed in the center, closes off the back of the Toy Hauler from the outside, and a tent is attached that stretches out across the "door" that has opened down. On the inside are two white vinyl flaps that can close across the screens.
The good news is, the tent provides a whole extra "room", and the big screen window of the tent provides an amazing view (if you've got an amazing view at your disposal, that is). Being able to have that extra space makes a huge difference in long term stays. The bad news is, the tent is thin, not very sturdy, and if it's chilly out, the cold comes straight in through the vinyl and screen wall that close off the toy hauler from the porch–unless you drop the heavy white vinyl panels down to cover the screens, thereby, closing off all the light from the porch, and giving the inside of the Toy Hauler a feeling of small space again. Well, the other day I decided to do something about it.
My latest DIY improvement to the Toy Hauler—crafting seasonal windows! Tools for the job?
First I measured the screen window part of the heavy white vinyl panels at 4 foot wide, and about 5 foot long, and cut 2 slightly oversized clear vinyl covers for them. I attached them by securing industrial Velcro to the tops of the clear vinyl, and then placing them about 4 inches above the screen area on outside side of the white vinyl panel wall. Then I covered that attachment with two rows of white duct tape, both for cosmetic reasons, and to add strength to the Velcro bond.
The clear vinyl covers several inches below the screen, to ensure blocking of any air movement, and reaches beyond the outside edges and slightly over the zipper sides of each of the two sides. I selected several places along the outside edges of the clear windows to secure to the wall using Velcro, so there is no chance of the clear panels flopping open in wind. As for the center where the windows meet – they overlap just enough in the center to hold them together, but I still reinforced them with several 1" spots of Velcro attachment along the zipper and one side of the very bottom of one panel. They completely block all air flow!
If I don't want to close off the screen with the clear vinyl windows, I can easily roll one or both of the clear panels up and secure them at the top of the white vinyl panels with a ribbon. When total privacy is required, I can just drop the inside short white panels down, covering the screen area from the inside, with or without the clear vinyl windows on the outside.
My little DIY project works slick!
And more good news—now that I have the clear windows attached to the white vinyl wall, I will be able to bring light into the back of the Toy Hauler even without a tent extending out across the dropped door. The vinyl windows will work just fine being exposed directly to the outside (although I hesitate to test them in a torrential rain storm). If the tent falls apart, I can still enjoy an open "deck" as well.
The same situation exists with the door into my Toy Hauler. The main door has just a small, heavily frosted glass window, so when it's closed there is very little light that can get in. When the door is secured open, what's left is a screen door, which is just that…screen….so again, it gets pretty darn cold if you try to secure the main door open and just use the screen door.
And Leech Lake in October? Well, it can get chilly, indeed! The fix for this situation? Craft another seasonal window, of course!
For this project, no duct tape was needed, just white Velcro and clear vinyl. I was able to cut the 28 ½" wide by 35" long top screen and 28 ½ wide by 24 long bottom screen panel needed in about 10 minutes, and have them attached to the screen door on the top and sides in less than 30 minutes. I cut the Velcro to half its width along all 3 sides of the door and made sure to attach the soft side of the Velcro ON the screen door so stuff doesn't stick to it. The clear vinyl windows completely block all wind, but give me loads of additional light. Another added benefit is that the clear vinyl will prevent the no-see-ums from getting inside (yes, those pesky biters can squeeze through normal window screens!) My intention is to leave the clear vinyl on my screen door "most" of the time unless I'm camped somewhere where it is warm enough to not worry about it.
And there you have it. Another simple DIY solution is achieved!
Here's to lighting things up with my windows to the world!
This sounds like an excellent idea! It does indeed get cold in Minnesota, and that makes having some space to move around in even more important.
If it was just me, it wouldn't be all that big of a deal, but with the 4-legged kids, yes it makes a huge difference!
Very crafty! And how wonderful you got to create perfect-for-you solutions. Yay to lots more light.
Your projects look fantastic. It always amazes me how people manage to make things that align perfectly. I usually start with a lot of enthusiasm, but I lose my patience after about 5 minutes.
LOL! I'm always trying to do something or other….
Yes, Debbie, that's right! You cruise too! It made all the difference in the world for me with temps in the 30's and 40's. I can already tell it will be awesome in Florida–can't wait! Just make sure to get the heavier clear vinyl. If it's too thin it won't hold up.
This makes me wish my husband and I were closer to our RV life!
🙂 I believe I was a gypsy in another life. Or, maybe it is this one after all….


Despite what most people believe, cod are not endangered, in a year or two even the fisheries scientists will agree with that.
What do you base that on? It may well be true for all I know, but I'd quite like to see some sort of evidence.
Brilliant. Which bit of the word 'evidence' don't you understand?
Edit: Sorry if that seems rude but it is substantively ignoring the question completely. And stuff that 'everybody knows' is usually rubbish I'm afraid.
Not rude at all, sorry for the flippant answer. "Everybody" doesn't know, but I can assure you that the people who do know are the men who are out there in all weathers lifting shot after shot and throwing countless tonnes of cod back into the sea dead because they are not allowed to land it.
As I said, the "evidence" will not be available until next year, when the fisheries scientists will confirm what the fishermen already know.
Cod stocks in the North Sea are recovering.
The lack of quota appears to be a particular problem with cod � where the quota has not kept pace with the expansion in the stock.
Greenpeace opposed a slight rise in the North Sea cod quotas last year, despite evidence from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (Ices) that stocks are beginning to recover.
As a ex -fisherman what you see on the video has been happening for many years and it has been the fishermen who have been complaining about the waste of fish to the goverment .
To understand the quota system you have got to go back to 1971 when this mess was made up by the EU. When the goverment of the perposed new EU asked their fishermen about their catch rates from previous years the british fisherman feared it was another way of getting more tax out of them so gave smaller figuers than they had caught, so when the time to share out the EU fish quota britian got about 16% and france around 60%.
This 16% is then split between sector and non sector fishermen with the sector getting the lions share. A sector fisherman would have had a boat before the EU was formed so had a track record of there catch and was awarded quota to what he had caught the previous years. The non sector was made up of people with no track record so where given a small quota to fish on , this was on a monthy basis and was over a vast area in little sea areas so you was on the move to forfill your quota which was lost the end off each month.
The quota system is a complete nightmare as it doesn't show the state of fish stock as it goes on the basis of what fisherman put in their logbooks.
To understand the fishermans point of view this is how fish weight is calculated when coming aboard a fishing boat at sea . The fish get caught on the boat that is called LIVE WEIGHT then it is prossesed that is BOX WEIGHT ,and then landed on the quay as QUOTA WEIGHT.
Between these three weights the goverment allows a 10% diffrence between each weight with the quota weight having to match what is put in the logbook on the vessel each 24hr day, and this is done on the vessel with no scales to weight the fish.
The maximum fine for a logbook error is �50,000.
With taking in mind a logbook error could cost you that amount of money ,the skipper naturally under estimate in there logbooks to make sure they don't go over quota.
Lets say a skipper under estimates a box of fish for each species he has quota for and it came to a total of 10 boxes.
Thes 10 boxes are then short on his yearly quota and if the whole fleet is doing the same the scientist look at the logbooks and make the conclusion that there must be less fish avalible than they first thought so cut the quota the following year to save the stocks, and then the cycle starts again. (this has been going on since 1971).
This what i recon is the answer ; they shoul;d do away with certain species quota and give the boat a quota for all fish to be caught for a year and all fish will be kept aboard againt the quota so there will be no disguards.
Norway uses this system and all fish not for human consumtion will be put into fishmeal for fertilizer or animal feed , this could be given a minimum price by the goverment to aid the fishermen.
The positive side of this idea is the ease in which it can be implemented as days at sea would be abolished , fishernen could work better weather so making life safer.
To finish this of there would only have to be one fine for anyone dumping at sea and that would be to take the estimated amount dumped and reduce there quota by the amount for that year.
By doing this fishermen will take the action to reduce small fish been caught as the value would be low against the quota they can catch , against the value of bigger fish for the same amount of quota.
May i just add this point about closed fishing areas , in the north sea they closed an area called the plaice box to protect the plaice and the dutch fishermen fish around this closed of area and have had record catches.
Ever scientist thought the box had worked and the plaice had been given the space to spawn , but infact when they survaid the seabed the plaice where no where to be seen, they had infact gone outside the box where the trawlers where working because they reilide on the trawlers to dig up the worms on the seabed to feed.
Thanks Carl, that's a really interesting set of posts.
I think that we can probably all agree that the system as it stands is a mess. The tricky bit is working out how to put a better system in place.
The tricky bit is working out how to put a better system in place.
Discarding is prohibited in Norwegian waters ... Norway has for more than 20 years advocated internationally, and especially in its relations with the EU, for the prohibitions of discards of fish.
In that time, more than 20 million tonnes of fish dumped as a result of EU reulations!
It depends what you mean by "endangered".
If you mean "in danger of extinction", then no, I do not think they are endangered.
But anyone who does not believe they are overfished is living in cloud cuckoo land.
Here is a study showing that fish stocks are less than one thousandth of what they were 100 years back.
What is your definition of "overfished"?
Believe it or not, fishermen are not greedy pirates who are bent on catching the last fish out of the sea.

God the Father is a person separate from the Holy Ghost. Totally separate. ...Do you know that the Holy Spirit has a soul and a body separate from that of Jesus and the Father? ...God the Father then is a triune being within Himself. He's a person, He has a soul. ...A soul is an intellect. ...God thinks ...separate from the Son and separate from the Holy Ghost. ...God the Father is a separate individual from the Son and the Holy Ghost, who is a triune being who walks in a spirit body and He has hair...has eyes...has a mouth...has hands.
Adam was a super being when God created him...he had dominion over the fowls of the air which means he used to fly...well of course how could you have dominion over the birds and not be able to do what they do. Adam flew into space, with one thought he would be on the moon.
The reason people lose their healing, is because they begin questioning if God really did it.
"In his sermons and books, Hinn has portrayed his childhood as that of a social outcast, handicapped by a severe stutter, who was nonetheless a stellar student. But when G. Richard Fisher and M. Kurt Goedelman, two journalists who write for Personal Freedom Outreach, looked into Hinn's youth, they found that both claims were untrue: nobody remembered Hinn stuttering, and he had dropped out of high school after the 11th grade."
"Hinn claims to have preached at an all-girls Catholic school in Jerusalem in 1976 and "every single girl in that school got saved, including all the nuns." Since there's only one Catholic girls school in Jerusalem, Schmidt's Girls College, it was a fairly easy matter to question all the nuns who were there in 1976, as well as Father Dusind, who has overseen all religious instruction since 1955. The result? "This is nonsense, real nonsense," Dusind told Fisher and Goedelman. "It never happened and could not happen because a Charismatic healer or Protestant preacher would never ever be let in to talk to the girls."
"The heavyweight boxer Evander Holyfield, banned from boxing because of a heart condition, went to a Benny Hinn crusade in Philadelphia, had Hinn lay hands on him, and gave Hinn a check for $265,000 after he was told he was healed. In fact, he passed his next examination by the boxing commission, but later his doctors said he never had a heart condition in the first place – he had been misdiagnosed."
