HARRISON, Ark. -- The Boone County Sheriff's Office is investigating a second body found along Crooked Creek east of Harrison, Ark.
Sheriff Mike Moore says it is possible the body is Amy Villines. An autopsy is planned for Monday. Investigators confirmed a body found last week nearby was her husband John.
John and Amy Villines lost control of an SUV in flash flooding on November 30. The couple are known business leaders in the community. Searchers quickly found the couple's SUV lodged against a bridge. But only found few other clues in the search for the couple. The city later drained Harrison Lake in the search.
Investigators found the latest body along the bank of Crooked Creek about three miles away from John Villines body near Lost Spur Ranch. The body was recovered from a pile of debris too. Investigators say they have asked the Arkansas State Crime Lab to conduct an autopsy to identify the body and a cause of death.

Activists try to stop destruction of trees for veterans cemetery planned at Crown Hill.
Rambunctious activists demanded Thursday that U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs officials bury plans to build a national cemetery in a heavily wooded section of Crown Hill Cemetery.
About 250 people attended a public meeting at the Indiana War Memorial in Downtown Indianapolis to voice objections to the razing of 15 acres of old forest to build the cemetery.
In the end, however, they were told that it was unlikely the VA would reconsider.
"At this point, we don't see any need," said Glenn Madderom, director of the cemetery development and improvement service for the VA, to hoots and jeers.
Afterward, Julie Edwards, 49, Indianapolis, warned that the fight had just begun.
"They haven't seen anything yet; this is only gong to snowball," Edwards said. "There was zero movement on their end to acknowledge our distress."
Before the public had a chance to weigh in, a lengthy presentation about the need for the cemetery was made by Glenn Powers, a deputy undersecretary of Veterans Affairs. He said Indianapolis veterans and their families have to travel more than an hour by car to the nearest national cemetery, in Marion. About 250,000 veterans live in Central Indiana, and Crown Hill was selected for its history and natural beauty, Powers said.
"The issue is Marion is a distance for the veterans," Powers said, after showing a video about veterans cemeteries. "The core of the population is located a great distance."
But about a half-hour into Powers' presentation, audience members began interrupting him with questions about the trees. Earlier, they had held signs outside reading, "Save the Crown Hill woods" and "The VA doesn't care."
The next speaker, Madderom, didn't fare much better. The audience interrupted him several times and laughed loudly once at a reference to how bucolic the cemetery would be.
"Can you point out the 500-year-old tree on the map?" one person yelled.
The stretch of forest, along 42nd Street between Michigan and Clarendon roads, has trees more than 300 years old and one estimated at 500 years. The forest, with 70 acres altogether, is one of the oldest in the Midwest.
Crown Hill sold the land to the VA last fall for $810,000. Construction is scheduled to begin next April and would take about 18 months.
The "columbarium cemetery" would hold about 2,500 urns, with room to grow and hold 25,000, for veterans and eligible relatives. It would include a main entrance from 42nd Street, a wall, a parking lot, roads, a shelter and a public restroom.
Madderom said the columbarium would rival Arlington National Cemetery's, to which one audience member shouted, "It's all concrete."
"Please, please reconsider relocation. It could be a win-win," said Felicity Kelcourse, 63, an associate professor at Christian Theological Seminary, across the street from Crown Hill. "I feel like Crown Hill tricked you into a controversy. You could end up the hero of this."
Rachel Laucevicius, 34, who said she was a veteran, told VA officials that despite the beauty of the planned cemetery, "I think you are cheating" by taking the old forest.
"It is stealing," she said. "There are so many other sites in Marion County to put this."
Madderom said the VA had already redesigned the cemetery to save more trees than in the original plan. But arborist Holly James, 45, said once the forest is disturbed, it begins a deadly cycle.
"The trees you plan to take down began their honorable service before the honorable veterans you want to serve were born," she said. "We are desperate to keep those trees alive."
Opponents also are upset that no public hearings were held before or after the sale and said they hoped public pressure now would convince the VA to find an alternative site.
An environmental impact study by the VA found that the tree clear wouldn't dramatically upset the ecosystem and that birds, deer and other animals would have plenty of places to go on the cemetery's 555 acres.
Crown Hill President Keith Norwalk, who did not attend the meeting, told IndyStar beforehand he was surprised at the sudden backlash because the plan had been extensively advertised a year ago and no one raised an objection until last month.
The veterans cemetery is to be built in three stages. During the first, only 7 of 15 acres will be razed, and smaller trees will be planted in place of the lost ones. The second phase won't start for 30 years, and only 10 percent more of the woods would be uprooted then, until phase three in 50 years.
"So 40 percent of the woods will be preserved for 50 years while we do replacement plantings," Norwalk said.
VA officials said Crown Hill was one of five sites selected nationwide for new columbaria.
Some opponents blamed the VA and Crown Hill for choosing the spot with the oldest trees on which to develop. But Norwalk said there were no other spots in the 555-acre cemetery where the military monument could go. One obvious nearby spot that opponents have mentioned, close to Clarendon Road and 42nd Street, is already reserved for future burials.

Waste Disposal Costs Continue to Rise
..... but it's not all doom and gloom
It has been confirmed that the target set by the EU for 50% waste diversion from landfill for the UK by 2020 will still apply even though the UK will be leaving the EU in 2019.
In 2007 when the targets were set, landfill costs were averaging £35.00 per tonne.
Over a ten year period landfill costs have risen to an average of £130.00 per tonne which is a staggering increase of 270%. As the current target is only 45% diversion, more landfill tax increases will be applicable for 2018 and 2019.
It's not all doom and gloom for the carpet industry though.
Divert waste carpet from landfill
Since we launched our carpet recycling initiative back in 2014 Kenburn Waste Management have helped carpet retailers and contractors to reduce their ever increasing skip costs and divert thousands of tonnes of recyclable carpet waste from landfill.
By installing a Kenburn Carpet Crusher with its 4:1 compaction ratio, transport costs for the material can be reduced by up to 75%.
For a no obligation, free of charge waste survey to determine what savings can be made on your skip costs please contact Kenburn on 01727 844988 sales@kenburn.co.uk
Carpet waste is recyclable!
Carpet has a high calorific value which means it burns for longer so acts as an ideal fuel for waste to energy plants.
Being used as a fuel enables carpet waste disposal costs to be significantly less than landfill and also at the same time more environmentally friendly.

Pope Francis Slams GMOs and Pesticides for Environmental and Social Damage

Although we do not have definitive evidence about the damage that transgenic cereals could cause to humans, and in some regions their use has produced economic growth that has helped solve some problems, there are significant problems that should not be minimized."

Nasheli Juliana Ortiz-González Honored As One Of Al Día's 40 Under Forty
Moore's Fashion Design chair has been celebrated as one of the Philadelphia region's most diverse and impactful young professionals.
Nasheli Juliana Ortiz-González is in the inaugural class of Al Dia's 40 Under Forty, honored during in an online ceremony Thursday, August 20.
"Thank you to every woman of color that came before me and opened doors for us," Ortiz-González said during the event. "Thank you to Diego, Sebastian and Ysabela for supporting me and always being there for me, and thank you to my dear love, Marién."
The awardees were selected by a panel of independent judges with broad experiences in entrepreneurship, leadership and civic engagement. With Philadelphia's demographic breakdown at more than 42% African American, more than 14% Latino and more than 7% Asian, the goal of the event is to showcase and reflect that diversity.
Keynote speaker Raquel Tamez, chief executive officer of the Society of Hispaic Professional Engineers (SHPE), encouraged the distinguished class to continue to be in service to others.
"Dare to change the world," Tamez said. "Dare to write a line in America's narrative. But don't lose sight of your own backyard, your own tribe, your own community."
Ortiz-González, chair of the Fashion Design and Textile Department at Moore, testified earlier this year before Philadelphia's City Council about the city's garment industry. In February, she competed on the popular Netflix show Next in Fashion. She has presented in some of the top fashion design platforms in the world, including Paris and London's Fashion Weeks, and has her own brand Nasheli Juliana. Along with Marién Vélez, she is a co-founder of Studio 22, a transdisciplinary studio with a deep curiosity for architectural, stage, performance, light-space art and social lighting.
Born in Caguas, Puerto Rico, Nasheli Ortiz received a MFA from Savannah College of Art & Design, a BFA from Escuela de Artes Plásticas de Puerto Rico as well as an AAS from Altos de Chavón, affiliated to Parsons School of Design/The New School; all studies in Fashion Design. Her professional practice outside of the educational community includes working as a technical designer, draper, tailoring and fine sewing techniques for designers based in New York, Italy, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.

David Hicks to Visit Moravian Academy
2014 Puleo Visiting Writer David Hicks to Visit Upper School February 10th and 11th
Moravian Academy is pleased to welcome author David Hicks to the Upper School campus on Monday, February, 10, 2014 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. as our 2014 Puleo Visiting Writer.
This event, which includes a reading and Q&A session, will take place in the Melhado Dining Room, Walter Hall, and is open to any interested members of the Moravian Academy community.

Having recently moved into our new home (yay!), home security has become one of the top of our list of priorities. Over Christmas we saw many adverts for the Ring Video Doorbell Pro on TV and thought it was a fantastic idea to be able to see who was coming by our front door when we weren't in and so decided to give it a go. Here is what I think so far after using it for 2 months!
Our fuse box with the Ring doorbell transformer slotted in perfectly!
Firstly, the doorbell was not a straight forward thing where you just stick it on the front of your house and off you go. I thought my husband would be able to figure it out (as he is generally pretty good at things like this!) but it turns out that you do need to hire an electrician or someone who knows what they are doing. We did not have an existing doorbell and luckily had 2 spaces left in our fuse box. This was perfect for the transformer Ring comes with, which takes up a lot of space being an American design. It took a couple of hours to set up as we needed to have a hole drilled through the wall for the wire to reach the fuse box that is located in the garage. After it was all connected, a light kept flashing and not going round as it was supposed to. After about 20 minutes it started working, by which time we had realised it just needed charging a bit.
It was rocky at first. We had some fantastic results with the doorbell ringing and answering (when we were at the door testing it) and checking Live View which shows you what is going on outside the front of your house at any time. Then after a few days, everything just stopped. We tried to talk to somebody on the Live Chat but nobody got back in touch. My husband eventually reset the system and it has been working okay since but it did make us worry that it would do that while we are away on holiday- how would we get the system working again from afar?
It looks good. The box came with four faceplate choices (silver, black, cream, brown) and we love this black cover although sometimes I feel like the postman ignores it and uses the knocker instead- doh!
The quality of the sound and video are great. I can see the faces clearly of anyone who comes to the door and can hear them brilliantly (well, sometimes… see what I don't love about the Ring Video Doorbell Pro below). Even the night time mode for viewing is great with enough detail. The sound of the chime options when someone rings your doorbell/ motion alerts are varied and some funny (dogs barking!).
I love stalking my family when I am away. I can be at the gym and see a notification to show motion outside my house. Then I check the app to see my husband and son heading out for a walk 🙂 It's brilliant for keeping track that family is coming home when they should be for safety reasons etc. Although this may not have the same effect if you are planning a surprise…!
Live View is brilliant for so many reasons! I might hear a notification for motion, I can then check Live View and see that it is just a cat walking past our drive- cute! It could be that I hear a sudden noise in the street, I don't want to go right up to the curtain to peer out or maybe I'm upstairs/ on the toilet/ changing the baby etc, but I can check what it is on Live View without having to go to the door. The fact that you get a notification sound for motion before the doorbell is rung for example just gives you those few seconds to allow you to get to the door quicker for your guest. Generally I just love having a quick stalk outside from time to time to make sure things are as they should be!
You can access it from your phone, computer or tablet and you can connect it with Alexa-enabled devices. We tend to just use it on the app on our phone but it's good to know that you can check what's going on using most devices.
If the motion sensors could be sensitive enough to not alert for wind and headlights (we don't mind seeing cats though!). We live on a quiet street but have had nights where car headlights are setting off the motion sensors constantly enough for us to have to put it on 'snooze' – though this setting is also great if you are having workers coming in and out of the house, otherwise you would go crazy with the bells chiming (we have set it to a wind chime sound). With the recent storms the alerts were also going off all day and night due to the bushes/ our hanging plant blowing in the wind.
If the reviewing of videos was free, that would be fab. I know they are a company and they need to make money… but having to pay an additional £2.50/month when the doorbell was already pricey compared to similar devices (I bought it on Amazon for £199 during their special offer: https://amzn.to/2Un7NYK), I was a bit gutted for the further costs. But I do love being able to go through the videos after being out and seeing who's been knocking at the door, which neighbours have kicked footballs into our drive and seeing all the neighbourhood cats who have passed by! The things that go on outside your home when you are not realising! It is pricey but kind of worth it for the security.

How To Record Netflix
You've probably heard that Netflix's streaming service now has a whopping 50 million subscribers. And if you're a filmmaker or a fan of old TV shows, you may be wondering how to record Netflix.
Here we have some guides for recording your favorite shows on Netflix. We focus on how to stream Netflix to an Apple TV, a guide on how to stream Netflix to Chromecast, and even a guide on how to stream Netflix to a Roku.
If you want to learn how to record Netflix on any device, you are in the right place. Here, we will show you how to record Netflix on all devices.
1 How To Record Netflix
1.1 How to record Netflix on android
1.2 How to record Netflix on Apple Devices
1.3 How to record Netflix on a computer
If you use Netflix, you've almost certainly heard the term "binge-watching." That's when a person watches several TV show episodes or movies in one sitting. For many people, binge-watching is the perfect way to watch a lot of content in a short period. It's also a great way to get lost in a compelling story without having to wait for commercials.
But what if you want to record your favorite shows and movies? Or what if you're going to create your own personal "collection" of shows and movies that are important to you? The good news is, it's easy to record from Netflix. In this guide, I'll show you how to find the shows and movies you want to add to your queue, record them, and then watch them whenever you want.
I've been a Netflix subscriber for years, but when I started to look into how people record shows for offline viewing, it seemed like a huge pain. I'm sure there are plenty of ways to do this, but none of them were quite what I was looking for. After all, I didn't want to have to pay for an entire season of something so that I could watch it later. What I wanted was to allow me to skip ahead as I watched, similar to what I can do with a physical DVD. And after a bit of digging around, I discovered that it was pretty easy to do.
I will walk you through the three simple steps to record Netflix shows.
There are three essential things you should know about how to record Netflix. First, there are two ways to record your shows and movies. The first way is to use a DVR, which you attach to your TV. The second way is to use a device like Apple TV, Roku, or Amazon's Fire Stick, a little box you plug into the HDMI port on your TV. The third thing you should know is that each device has a different way of recording shows and movies.
Press the record on your TV while you're watching it.
Press pause when you leave the room for any reason.
Keep the microcassette recorder handy and use it whenever you want to remember something (like a great movie or a funny line) that you'd otherwise forget.
Use your recorder as an impromptu "note to self."
If you tend to get side-tracked by things like the TV or radio, use the microcassette recorder to help you get back on track.
How to record Netflix on android
Now, you may be thinking, "but how can I record Netflix on my phone?" And it's not as easy as you may think. Luckily, there are ways to get around the problem. If you're still looking for a solution, we've got you covered.
The first step is to download a program called VPN for android. The next thing you need to do is go to the official Netflix app and then select the menu icon. Finally, tap on the "Settings" tab and then "VPN." This will enable you to use a VPN.
I am a huge fan of Netflix, but there are times when I wish I could record my shows. This is where the Netflix app on Android comes in handy. It's easy to record your shows, and it's also easy to share them with friends. The app is simple to use, and you don't have to worry about missing any episodes.
If you want to record your favorite show, or if you wish to make a video for fun, then you should check out the Netflix app on Android. The app is available for Android phones and tablets, so you can enjoy it wherever you go. You can also watch your shows on your computer as well.
How to record Netflix on Apple Devices
So far, Apple has refused to allow the popular streaming service to be recorded on their iPods, iPhones, iPads, and even the Apple TV. However, the issue is starting to receive some attention. Earlier this year, Apple made a small (but essential) change to their iOS operating system that allowed iPhone and iPad users to record their Netflix viewing. You made the change quietly, and many users were unaware of it.
How to record Netflix on a computer
There are a few options available when it comes to recording TV shows and movies on your computer. Some people like to use a dedicated app or device, such as Apple TV or Roku. Others prefer a PC-based software solution like VLC Media Player or Windows Media Player. Another option is to use a web-based service like Google Play Movies & TV.
If you're a movie buff and love to watch movies on Netflix, then you can record your favorite shows using your computer. It's straightforward to do, and you don't need any special software. The first step is to download the Netflix app for your computer. Then, click on the "My Listings" tab at the top of the screen and scroll down until you see the option to add movies and TV shows. Click on the button to add the show to your queue, and then click on the box next to the film or show you want to record.
If you want to record more than one show at a time, press and hold the "record" button on your remote. A drop-down menu will appear. Choose "multiple." Then, when you playback the show, the menu lets you select which shows you want to record.
If you want to record a show while it's playing, press and hold the "play" button on your remote. A small "+" sign will appear at the bottom of the screen. Click on this to start recording.
To stop recording, press and hold the "record" button again. The "+" sign will disappear, and you can then select the show you want to playback.
When you're done recording, simply press the "play" button again to resume watching.
You can also pause the recording by pressing the "pause" button on your remote. To resume, press the "play" button again.
You can delete individual shows from your recording by highlighting them and pressing the "delete" button on your remote. Then, press the "play" button to remove that show from your queue.
If you want to record all the content on a disk, connect your TV to your computer and open Windows Media Player
To record Netflix, you just need a tripod, a smartphone, and a bit of patience. You'll need to get into the mindset that you're not recording TV shows or movies, but instead, you're trying to capture the moment. You need to focus on capturing the screen's frame rate to do this. The best way to do this is to watch the screen from the side of the frame. As the screen changes, you'll see a series of structures that will form a row of a movie.
The way to record Netflix is to click the red button simply. If you want to record something else, you have to choose it from a list of options. You don't have to use the "record" button, though. To watch it, you can go back to the list of episodes or press the play button. To cancel, you can press the pause button. It's as simple as that.

The marketer's friend
Latest research identifies a collapse in global business confidence
6th November 2019 3 minutes, 38 second read Rhodri Harries, Managing Director, Kaizo
Many may have suspected this for a while now. A new report has confirmed that CEO confidence is plummeting worldwide. Diverse, in some cases disastrous, and in all cases worrying, political, economic and social issues are gripping the corporate agenda. Brand managers, corporate communications functions and agencies should take note; global leaders are more than a little concerned about their corporate image, brand reputation and their ability to protect it in a crisis, according to a new global study.
The Worldcom Confidence Index has highlighted that confidence levels across a range of business and communications issues have dropped by over 20% since last year.
Alongside revelations of low confidence in the ability to deal with regulatory changes, global tariff issues and employee-related worries, are some stark findings highlighting risks around managing and protecting reputation. Fueling this seems to be a lack of confidence in the ability to engage with influencers and media to do this, according to the report's findings.
CEO and CMO comments on social media
The study, which is an analysis of online content from more than 58,000 chief executive and chief marketing officers, used innovative artificial intelligence to track and interpret publicly available social media content. It covers the subjects that these groups are willing and able to talk about online, raising some new and recurring challenges for marketers and communicators to address.
Socio-economic forces, such as impending global recession, may be amplifying these concerns and making business leaders examine their ability to effectively prepare and manage communications during a crisis. Whatever the truth of this, confidence levels in their ability to do it are falling.
Protecting reputation is becoming critical
With such a high degree of political and social unrest and upheaval, the concern over a business' ability to protect its reputation during a crisis feels business critical, says the report. As a global study, there many complex and diverse contributing factors. What seems clear, however, is a need for greater focus on proactive campaigning to support rigorous, tested systems to highlight potential risks.
Many are already focusing on purpose-led campaigning to proactively enhance brand reputation. The increasing rise and promotion of these campaigns shows a broader, deeper business concern for reputation, as opposed to simply a CSR tick box exercise.
However, this is still not widespread across brands globally. While many see the value of owning purpose, they are not so 'front-footed' in their approach.
Influencers and media
The report also highlights an increasing source of concern around the impact that influencers and media can have on a brand and CEO's confidence in their company's ability to manage the effect they have.
While influencers are ranked as the most important audience in the study, there is little confidence in effectively reaching and mobilizing them.
The global insights show a gap – or perhaps an opportunity – in terms of a business's ability to communicate effectively with influencers or meet their needs and to have the right impact for the brand. This could clearly be a result of the confusion that exists around the role they play: as an earned channel where relationship and collaboration is based on shared values, storytelling, news and context; a paid channel where the relationship is more commercial; or most likely something of a mix. This varies from market to market.
Working with influencers
A clear opportunity appears to exist to help educate some CEOs and CMOs on the role an influencer can and should play and how to work with them in a collaborative and effective way. This is especially important as influencers play a key role in balancing public opinion in a crisis, as well as advocating a company's products and services and enhancing its brand's reputation.
Global leaders lose confidence in media
Perhaps more concerning is the lack of confidence global leaders still have in the media, a channel they are generally more familiar with, in terms of creating the right impact for their businesses.
Leaders are more confident in their abilities to reach shareholders, customers, suppliers, and even government officials than they are the media.
The recent renaissance of traditional PR skills in terms of media relations is clearly set to continue as brands need to focus on core values and reputation and how these play out in the news.
Confidence may be low, but the opportunity for the communications industry to play a significant role in changing public perception has arguably seldom been higher.

Top 10 strange mysteries of the world where science goes failed to solve
We are living in a world which is full of new things n possibilities each rising day. Our Mother Nature is giving us so much wows and surprise every time by their phenomena. There are many unsolved mysterious phenomena's around us. Here, we will let you to know some mysterious things lies in our nature you might unaware about these strange mysteries. Here we are !!
1. Fire Rainbows
Image credit- amusingplanet {dot} com
Fire Rainbows are neither fire, nor rainbows. This is called rainbows of fire because of its amazing colorful appearance. Form the view of science, it are known as circum horizontal arc – an ice halo made by hexagonal, plate shaped ice crystals in high cirrus clouds in sky. This halo is so giant that the arc appears as similar to the horizon, so it is named like that. Most common, this appears during the summer and in some particular latitudes. When the sun is at high, sunlight enters flat and hexagon shaped ice crystals get split into different colors just like in a prism. The conditions required to occur a fire rainbow is very precise, as the sun has to be at elevation of 58° or greater than that, also high altitude clouds in sky with plate shaped ice crystals, and sunlight has to enter the ice crystals in a predefined particular angle. Rainbows Fire can be seen on locations in north of 55°N or in south of 55°S.
2. Mammatus Clouds
Image credit- weatherpix.photoshelter {dot} com
Mammatus are to be seen as smooth, lumpy lobes of cloud. It is happened because mammatus occurs as a group of lobes. We can found it in The United States. Mammatus are pouch cloud structures and it is rare example of clouds in sky. As wind carry precipitation enriched air to the top of cloud and upward momentum is lost and the air begins to spread in horizontal. Then it becomes a part of the anvil cloud. As the reason of its high concentration of precipitation particles, the air is heavier than the previous air and it sinks back towards the earth. As heat energy is required to melt cloud and spread the particles contained in the shrink air, this warming produced by the motion is quickly used up in the particles. In the case, more energy is required for evaporation, than is generated by the subsidence; the sinking air will be cooler than its surrounding air and will continue to sink downward in sky. This appears below the cloud as a rounded pouch structure is called mammatus clouds.
3. Sailing Stones
4. Blood Falls

Blood Falls, the name itself link horror one but in real, it is one of the driest regions of Antarctica, which is fed by an underground. The falls is full of bacteria trapped for millennia in conditions that are extremely inhospitable to life. About two million years back, a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there since, isolated inside a natural time. It contains no light or free oxygen and little heat. These microbes had no chance of getting energy through photosynthesis. In place of, the microbes which started to leave the minerals which were found in the lake within; it evolves independently of the rest of world. In Actual fact, the water has so much iron in it that it literally rusts when it meets air, giving the waterfall its trademark red color.
5. Light Pillars
Image credit- twimg {dot} com
Light pillars are none other than a visual phenomenon. In winter season, the reflection of sunlight on little ice crystals creates vertical columns of light which creates pillar like impression in the sky. The different color and size of the light pillars may vary as per distance from where we are seeing this phenomenon. Creating this mind blowing optical effect, which may rivals any Pantone hue. In the right conditions, materialistic objects like streetlamps or car lights can produce these wonderful light beams in sky. Light pillars are mostly seen when, the Sun is near the horizon..The ice crystals in the chilled atmosphere reflect the upcoming source light, light pillars. Which are tend to take on the color of the light source. Typically, pillars of light can be seen with frigid temperatures at lower latitudes with help of perfect sunlight angel.
6. Colour Mountains
Image credit- technocrazed {dot} com
The Rainbow or Coloured Mountains of China are located in the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park, China. The park is a geological wonder of the world and adds one more item in our natural phenomena list. These famous Chinese mountains are known for their colors which mimic a perfect rainbow painted over the tops of the mountains. This National Park is mapped in China's North West direction, which covers around 200 square miles. The site was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. This is the perfect holiday destination for many Chinese and international tourists. There colour of mountain is mainly due to an iron oxide coating and cementation, which is also known as hematite, in the sandstone grains. It creates the same process as a piece of metal is left outside into the rain and forms a different layer of rust in outer layer.
7. Snow Donuts
Image credit- misteraladin.com
Wonderful fairy tales like Snow donuts are formed with a clump of snow falls. If all conditions and cool temperature are just in right, as gravity takes over, which pulls the snow down side, and it rolls back itself and creates hole like wheel of snow ice. Generally, the ice collapses and it creates pinwheel like shape of itself. It also creates a shape that resembles a car tire covered with ice. The whole size may be different lengthwise from the canter of ice. As per research, the largest snow donut was about one foot and around 30 centimetres in diameter. This is called real beauty of nature where science needs to bend their knees.

We all have listen song desert rose, but here is something different and unusual of desert. Desert rose is the name given to rose flower like formations of crystal clusters of gypsum. These phenomena include abundant sand and grains of desert. The petals shapes are crystals flattened on the other fanning open in clusters. The rosette crystal is about to form when the crystals form in arid sandy conditions, like as the shallow salt basin. The crystals form a circular array of flat plates, giving its rock a shape similar to a rose blossom. Gypsum roses generally have good appeared sharper petals than barite flower roses. If iron oxides are present, the rose goes on a little different dark rust tone.
9. Spotted Lake
Spotted Lake is a small lake which is rich in a variety of minerals, like calcium, sodium sulphates and magnesium sulphate. In the days of hot summer, most of the water in the lake evaporates, and leaves concentrations of these minerals. All these makes the big polka spots visible in the lake. Throughout the summer, the spots change its size and colour as the minerals. Each change occurs as per different mineral changes in the lake. Colours vary from blue to green to yellow in lack. Colour is totally depending on the mineral makeup of each individual spot. During World War I ammunition was prepared using minerals from this Lake.
10. Sun Dog
Image credit- ralstongallery.photoshelter {dot} com
Sundog is also known as mock sun, which consists glowing spots around the sun in sky. Sun dogs are creates by sunlight refracting off plate shaped ice crystals in the clouds. Sundogs are the most commonly observed optical phenomena. It can be seen throughout the year and from anywhere in the world. These are associated with 22 degree halos in sky. It is mostly visible when the Sun is close to the horizon of earth. The part of a sundog closest to the Sun is in red color, and the areas far away from the Sun usually appear in blue or green. Lights from the Moon also create the same glowing moon dogs on both sides of the Moon. Moon dogs are not so common as sundogs, because they only creates when it is full moon day or close to full moon day.

Until we moved this summer, I had never lived in a house with a working fireplace. Several of my friends had them growing up, and many of my friends today have them, but I've never had the experience of sitting in my own living room around an open fire on a cold day. Until Wednesday.
With the snow approaching and the temperatures dropping, I had one goal that evening— build a fire in my own fireplace. To be candid, I didn't even know where to start. So I did what most of us do (including our students) when they want to learn something new— I googled it. After reading a few articles that popped up about the do's and don'ts of burning a fire in a fireplace, I watched a few videos on YouTube to learn how to build the fire, how to open and adjust the flue, and how to keep the fire going.
All summer we've needed to buy a screen for our fireplace, so I asked Katie to buy one, which then turned into having to buy all the tools one should have for a fireplace. (According to Carson, I don't even want to know what all of that cost!).
With the screen in place, tools on hand, and the knowledge gained through Google and YouTube, I was ready for my first fire in my own fireplace, but I was nervous because I kept envisioning the worst things happening all because of my inexperience. Thankfully, my neighbors stopped by to visit and I told them what I was up to, and they did what— and this is the whole point of sharing this with you— they did what we're all trying to do each day.
Drawing on their own experiences with having a fireplace, they knelt beside me to help build the fire, gave me a few suggestions, and stuck around to make sure things were good.
My neighbors took time to see how I was doing and find ways to help me using their own experiences.
In the same way, we should take time to see how our students— and how each other— are doing and find ways to help everyone around us using our own experiences. Google and YouTube can only do so much. Learning is much more than knowledge and information— it's connection, application, and experiences.
Thanks for making this a great first semester. Enjoy the break, take time to rest, re-charge, and relax with your families. If you have a fireplace, enjoy it. If you need a little help with it, Google it, YouTube it, and then give me a call and we'll get it going (or I'll just send my neighbor your way).


Every Great Leader has a Vision and a Mission. This session is about creating and then sharing that vision with their individual teams. Much like a road map, goals give direction to our professional and personal lives by providing the vision for what direction the team will take to achieve their desired results. Having goals also enhances a leaders ability to make sound decisions, improves their ability to manage their time, reduces stress, and helps them live a happier and more fulfilled life.

32TEN Studios model makers and designers have a long history with the Star Wars universe dating back to The Empire Strikes Back. The history, though, had not included creating a model of the Millennium Falcon out of red Solo cups until now.
In anticipation of the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, 32TEN was approached by Lucasfilm to see if we'd be interested in bringing the legendary ship to life as it appears in the upcoming film. The answer was a quick yes, and after receiving the 3D CG model, Sean House, Chris Scott, and Todd D'Amario got to work.
Step one: convert the 3D CG model to 2D plans for the laser cutter.
Step two: construct the substructure out of wood and plex.
Step three: skin the Falcon with hundreds of red Solo products.
Sean, Chris and Todd were visited by Star Wars luminaries Lorne Peterson (ILM Chief Model Maker, The Empire Strikes Back), Pete Ronzani (ILM Armature Designer, Return of the Jedi), Charlie Bailey (ILM Chief Model Maker, Return of the Jedi) and Bill George (ILM Model Maker, Return of the Jedi) throughout the process.
Three weeks later, the team unveiled the project during a Solobration at 32TEN Studios. Folks from Lucasfilm, ILM, and the cast from The Star Wars Show were on hand.
The model was such a hit that Lucasfilm showed it off at one of the film's premiere events in Los Angeles.

I love to decorate for holidays. Especially Christmas. Love, love, love it. And based on what I'm reading around blogland right now, I'd say that most of you share my enjoyment.
It seems to me that we all decorate in a cool, relaxed way for summer, then really get back into feathering our nests when fall arrives. Halloween, hello! We enjoy pulling out the pumpkins and all the other paraphernalia that welcomes autumn. And then, after we've eaten the toasted pumpkin seeds, we are ready to rock and roll on into Christmas.
And yet, there's another holiday in there that we all love. As much as I adore Christmas decorating, I'm trying to reserve these few weeks to keep my house decorated for this month's holiday. What I do is simple--I just tweak my autumn decorations by removing the jack-o-lanterns and bringing in a few special Thanksgiving pieces.
For instance, my dining room table now holds our cornucopia. Still using my burlap runner and homemade sconces.
Filling the cornucopia is always fun for me. I found this beautiful horn way back in 1991, when my oldest son was just 10 weeks old. I've loved using it ever since. Its look has changed over the years. When I bought it, it was peach-colored papier mache', which was really something 18 years ago. Not so much today. Its current finish was achieved with espresso spray paint topped with a feather-light dusting of gold; I think I like it. Some of the cornucopia contents are special to me and I pack them up each year: a sheaf of wheat from my mother's native Kansas; a boll of cotton from my father's native Tennessee; buckeyes that my son and I collected on a nature walk 'way back when we lived in Hillsdale, Michigan. Sweet memories.
for a warmer look: a table runner and a fun lantern.
I found it on clearance at Target last year for $9.
The move away from candy corn is actually a very good one for me. I am crazy about candy corn. I mean, certifiably nuts about it. But since August I've had one root canal and two porcelain crowns installed in my mouth. I think my tummy likes candy corn more than my teeth do. It was time for it to go.
In the breakfast room, my dough cabinet is one of my favorite spots for seasonal decorating. I just removed the jack-o-lanterns from my pumpkin collection and added a couple of terra cotta pilgrims and some "Give Thanks" blocks.
These simple changes took just a few minutes of time, but they help me to stay focused on November rather than rushing ahead to December. And since November is the time set aside for giving thanks, it's a good place for me to stay focused.
What about you? Do you decorate for Thanksgiving, or do you like to go ahead and get started on Christmas decorating?
I agree that these weeks are best savored as Fall weeks and Thanksgiving being brought to the forefront. I guess I have never made much effort to build my Thanksgiving decor collection so it is easier to start pulling out all the Christmas stuff. I am trying to wait until after Thanksgiving this year though.
Your home looks beautiful-very warm and inviting. I LOVE your porch and table.
Thanks for posting this. I am in the same mindset. I like to enjoy November and keep fall decor out until Thanksgiving. I had to zoom in on you cornucopia because I have one I purchased at thrift store that's kind of wicker-like that I need to paint. Yours looks so pretty.
ITA to enjoy November before we head into December. We have so many things to be thankful for.
I'm with you; I hate for thanksgiving to get overlooked. Looks so, so pretty!
I'm hangin' on to autumn as long as possible! Your tables are so lovely!!!
Richella, you are always so gracious in your comments on my blog. I actually had two crosses; don't know which one you were eyeing, but one is still available...the one with the red ceramic inset. It's called the bountiful cross and it is $18. Thanks again for your kind words.
i am like you!! (go figure!) i really can't imagine getting out my Christmas stuff yet! i have mostly fall stuff... using the jack-o-lanterns for halloween and replacing it with thanksgiving tidbits. my favorites? my dessert plates that hand on the wall and my stuffed hallmark turkey!
your porch is wonnnnderful! your home is warm and inviting.
I love your screened porch. Your home is definitely cozy and inviting! Thanks for sharing.
I love it all! I'm in love with your dining room table arrangement. I NEED a cornucopia!
Very pretty! You did a great job. I sure do like that porch.
I love the cornucopia - so perfect for this time of year. And I LOVE your dough cabinet!
Richella, I have you beat on the crowns! I've had 5 crowns down since July! I'm sick of the dentist!
I love the cornucopia! I love that rich color, it looks so great in your dining room. Love your porch too!
I love your cornucopia! I just got out ours tonight and was deciding what to fill it with. Yours looks fab!
Lovely changes, and I agree, it's good to keep the season going before Christmas.
It all looks so beautiful! Your dining room is stunning! That was such a great idea to paint that horn! I remember when peach was so "in" in the early 90s. Everything was peach and green back then!
A transformation and A GIVEAWAY!

Why we must educate all our women
Wednesday, May 7, 2014 18:34
Data Science, a local data analytic firm shows that if we educate every woman to high school level, fertility rate (children born per a woman) will come down from 6.7 for women without education at all to 3.1 for women with at least high school education.
Even women with primary education, the fertility rate is far less at five than their colleagues with no education at all.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) estimates Kenya's total fertility rate to be 3.54 in 2014 against the global average of 2.45.
Most countries with a fertility rate of over three are in Africa and poor. Africans bore many children because of disease that killed many children. At some point also many children was a blessing because they became part of labour force mostly on land.
In some cases culture and religion has played a key role in influencing greater fertility rates. In present day Africa, land is becoming a scarce resource.
Life expectancy is increasing and infant mortality is coming down. There is reason for Africa to change gears and lower her fertility rate as a strategy to fight poverty.
Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus was an English cleric and scholar, influential in the fields of political economy and demography. He wrote a book ''An Essay on the Principle of Population'' and first published it in 1798 under the alias Joseph Johnson.
In his writing, he observed what became to be known as the demographic-economic paradox. The term "paradox" comes from the notion that greater means would necessitate the production of more offspring as he suggested.
In essence, nations with higher GDP per capita are observed to have fewer children, even though a richer population can support more children.
Malthus held that in order to prevent widespread suffering, from famine for example, what he called "moral restraint" (which included abstinence) was required.
The demographic-economic "paradox suggests that reproductive restraint arises naturally as a consequence of economic progress."
There is no justification therefore to bring another life willingly into the world if you are not able to feed yourself.
Kenya is still food insecure, land is increasingly becoming unproductive due antiquated farming methods, unemployment is soaring and precipitating crime.
The best we can do is to mitigate against rising population that we now have scientific evidence on how to deal with it before it gets out of hand. Every statistical index calls for action.
Index Mundi ranks Kenya at position 130 out of 205 countries in terms of total literacy which stands at 87.4 per cent. Deeper analytics show that literacy among men (90.6 per cent) is greatly unequal to that of women (84.2 per cent).
A Unesco and Unicef report of 2007 addressed the issue of education from a rights-based approach. The report identified three interrelated rights and must be addressed in concert in order to provide education for all:
The right of access to education - Education must be available for, accessible to and inclusive of all children weather male or female gender.
The right to quality education - Education needs to be child-centred, relevant and embrace a broad curriculum, and be appropriately resourced and monitored.
The right to respect within the learning environment - Education must be provided in a way that is consistent with human rights, equal respect for culture, religion and language and free from all forms of violence.
Poverty is one of the major causes of disparities in education especially in the rural areas. The unavailability of sanitary towels for example, hurts the girl's education not just due to absenteeism but it destroys their self-esteem leading to poor participation and retention of knowledge.
In some rural areas the school environment is known to be insecure and sexual violence from their teachers violates the very rights Unesco/Unicef are trying to address.
Their problems are further compounded by lack of learning materials, the negative stereotypes from teachers and society. Some communities in Kenya practice primitive cultures of marrying off their daughters as young as ten years olds.
Research shows when a woman has education, they are able to seek medical attention not just for themselves but for their offspring too. This simple fact reduces infant mortality rates significantly.
There is no mistake to state that Knowledge empowers women and protects our re-generation.
No wonder Brigham Young said, "You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation."

" Shameful National Security Inaction on Domestic Terror, Election Protection: 'BradCast' 8/5/2019	"
Shameful National Security Inaction on Domestic Terror, Election Protection: 'BradCast' 8/5/2019
On the weekend massacres in El Paso and Dayton; And Georgia Tech cybersecurity expert Rich DeMillo on the recent Senate Intelligence Comm. report on Russia interference in 2016 and the fight to secure 2020...
On today's BradCast, we open with the grim weekend news of the two gun massacres in El Paso, Texas and in Dayton, Ohio, which collectively resulted in at least 30 killed and some four dozen others wounded, before moving to yet another issue of national security being avoided by most Republicans and the White House. [Audio link to show is posted at bottom of article.]
The two domestic terror events in TX and OH, each carried out in minutes by white American men with semi-automatic military-style assault rifles and high-capacity magazines, has once again spurred calls for legislative action by Democrats in Congress and the avoidance of same by the terrorist-enabling, NRA-captured Republican officials.
In addition, Donald Trump spent about 48 hours following the El Paso shooting hoping to avoid the fact that the 21-year old man who carried it out had reportedly driven from his home in Dallas to target immigrants in the border town. An online manifesto attributed to the white nationalist shooter, echoing language and racism frequently used by Trump, describes an "invasion" of Hispanic immigrants. "El Paso and Dayton make 251 mass shootings in the US in 216 days, more shootings than days in the year," notes USA Today.
The incidents also serve as the latest to highlight shameful GOP hypocrisy on matters of national security. Over the past two decades, the U.S. has spent hundreds of millions of dollars under the guise of "national security", even as the focus on international terrorism has resulted in several acute issues of national security such as climate change, gun violence by domestic terrorists, and election security being all but ignored by Republicans. That, even as the public has been asked to sacrifice one freedom after another under disingenuous claims of "national security" while the country has been bankrupted both financially and morally in the bargain.
The latest massacres and lack of willingness by Republicans to take action and confront a real and growing national security threat, is also echoed in their lack of action regarding security in our elections, the only means by which the public may actually hold their failed, hypocritical, and corrupt elected officials accountable. But a week or so ago there was a glimmer of hope, sort of, when the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee released a bipartisan --- if absurdly redacted --- report on election security [PDF], concluding that election systems in all 50 states were targeted by Russia in 2016. At the same time, the report states that "the Committee has seen no indications that votes were changed" or that "vote-tallying systems were manipulated".
Then again, as we've take great pains to report in detail since 2016, nobody, to our knowledge --- including the FBI, DHS, Robert Mueller's Special Counsel Office or even local and state officials --- has actually bothered to look! Calls for hand-counts of hand-marked paper ballots and forensic analyses of electronic voting systems were blocked after the 2016 election in many states, including Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania which each are said to have flipped to the Republican Presidential candidate that year by incredibly narrow, unverified margins, for the first time in decades. The Senate Intelligence Committee report suggests that while foreign actors were able to gain access to the nation's voting systems and voter registration databases, they took no action to modify them in any way. Really?
We're joined today by cybersecurity and voting system expert RICH DEMILLO, formerly the Chief Technology Officer for Hewlett-Packard, now Professor of Computing at Georgia Tech, where he served as Dean and director of their Information Security Center. DeMillo shares his takeaways from what he describes as a "frustrating" Senate report, which appears to both pull punches and hide much of both its findings and recommendations behind redactions. "There is just a massive amount of evidence that not only were the systems targeted, and in some cases penetrated, but it would take an extraordinarily altruistic spy to resist the opportunity of doing something nasty once they got into these systems," he tells me. "Not going that final step, which is relatively risk-free, of carrying out the mission that you were there to accomplish, just seems to me to strain credibility."
DeMillo, who has co-authored a number of landmark studies on the many dangers posed by the 100% unverifiable touchscreen computer Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) now being deployed before the 2020 election to places like Georgia, Philadelphia, Los Angeles County as well as counties in other key battle-ground states like Ohio, North Carolina and Texas, warns that our vulnerable voting systems are, indeed, an issue of "national security".
"We're in an era where the tools can be turned against the citizens," he cautions. "Where the results of an election in an entire jurisdiction can be changed with literally the flip of a switch." DeMillo, who now serves on the board of the Verified Voting Foundation, is a supporter of hand-marked paper ballots as the only known type of verifiable voting and (like me) is dubious about the push to allocate hundreds of millions of dollars for new "upgraded" computer voting systems. "It's like buying better filters for cigarettes," he says.
And while there are still no federal mandatory standards for voting systems (only voluntary guidelines last updated by the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission in 2005!), the "real obvious vulnerability" to the systems comes from election insiders, local and state officials and contractors hired to program and maintain the systems. "Even in the face of arguments from election officials that 'we vet our people, we do background checks,' every time we look under those covers, what we find is that there's almost no due diligence that's taking place. That the people that we entrust with these systems, in the first place, don't understand the systems, have never been briefed on the threats, and we have no idea what their background and motivations are."
He cites the story we broke on the program last week based on testimony from an official in the Georgia Secretary of State's office who conceded on the witness stand the week before in a federal court hearing that all voting machines in the state are programmed by three outside contractors "in their garage." That new revelation of outsourcing from the ongoing federal lawsuit challenging the security and Constitutionality of the state's unverifiable touchscreen systems underscores that "everything they tell you about the security of their infrastructure, and how well they vet against the insider threat, turns out not to be the case. And that story is repeated over and over again around the country."
DeMillo also relates the story of the "ruckus" he recently caused on social media when relaying a conversation with election officials in a largely rural state "who just happened to mention in an open meeting that the computers that they use to program their ballots were housed on laptop computers that were in the houses of people, without any security clearances, no special security infrastructure. In fact, they were in places where the Internet connections were so bad that some of those people had to go to the local Starbucks in order to connect to the internet." He says his "jaw dropped to the floor" when he learned that many of those officials were programming their voting machines and tabulators on wide open, completely unsecured public networks.
Finally, DeMillo goes on to offer some advice on how to "move the needle" in the continuing fight by election integrity advocates to secure our elections by using systems that can actually be overseen by the public, slamming those --- from Congress to state and local officials to academics to private voting system vendors --- who believe that secrecy and "security by obscurity" can actually work to protect the heartbeat of our nation's fragile and more-threatened-than-ever system of representative democracy...

Amazing how quickly the Republicans have rallied to defend guns. Yet people will just as quickly rally to defend Republicans when they clearly act in ways which reveal just how much Republicans hate people.

The voting booth should reconfigure the ballot lever to a dildo and require the Helots to use their mouths to make the selection of their next master, it also provides a keen preview of things to come for the voter.
