Luca Parmitano from Volare to Beyond
Italian ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano completed his first mission to the International Space Station in 2013. As he prepares to be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan for his second mission – known as Beyond – in July, Luca reflects on his spaceflight experience and how it has shaped his approach.
During his first mission, known as Volare, Luca spent 166 days in orbit and undertook two spacewalks. The first one was completed successfully, but the second was dramatically cut short when a water leak threatened to drown Luca inside his helmet.
This experience, alongside other challenges he overcame during his mission and on-the-ground training, have helped him not only prepare for a second spaceflight but also to take on the role of International Space Station Commander during the second part of his Beyond mission.
Luca is an experienced test pilot who has logged over 2000 hours of flying time on more than 40 different types of aircraft. In addition to Italian, English and French, he also speaks Russian, which is essential to his role as a flight engineer onboard the Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
This clip recalls Luca Parmitano's first mission and his recent training in Houston and Star City, with interviews in English, Italian and French.

Fires in Corrientes: the Ministry of the Environment rescues the surviving wildlife
From the Ministry of the Environment, the Environmental Control Brigade (BCA) carries out rescue tasks for the wild fauna that survived the forest fires in currents.
This in order to provide them with medical assistance and then relocate the animals in areas of the province that were not incinerated, since the fire managed to destroy almost a million hectares in currents.
The Government will work to restore the affected areas.
In addition to carrying out rescue work, the delegation also seeks to know what was the environmental impact caused during the igneous emergency in currentsbecause for now the amount of affected flora and fauna is unknown.
Some of the species that have been rescued are the curiyú (Eunectes notaeus), the deer, the capybara and the alligatorwhich are initially transferred to the town of Santo Tomé, where the BCA is located.
Hundreds of animals perished in the fire.
In addition, the brigade has worked together with the Red Cross and the Army to support both the animals and the producers affected by the forest fires.
For this reason, two 70 cubic meter rafts were also delivered to collect irrigation water in the municipality of San Miguel; in addition to supplies for the assistance of animals in the Loreto fire station.
The fires have been fought with the support of hydrant planes.
This Saturday there will be a national collection for the victims in Corrientes
Channel 9 and IP Noticias invite all citizens to participate in a large collection in favor of those affected by the forest fires in the province.
The day will be held through a special broadcast between 12:00 and 18:00. The donations will be for both animals and people, as well as to support the brigade members.
Different organizations provide assistance to the victims.
Among the items that can be donated are: non-perishable food, beds, mattresses, blankets, towels, clothing, balanced food for small animals and veterinary products.
Also fireproof clothing, individual backpacks and helmets. All items can be delivered to Zapiola 51 in the City of Buenos Aires.

The most popular beverage in today's stressful professional world, tea has always been characterized by its energy giving elements, making it one of the most versatile and highly preferred beverages throughout the globe, next only to water. Associated with low calories, it helps in proper digestion of the food, contributing in our growth and vitality. The wide variety of teas available in the market is all designed to keep us healthy and fit with due importance to our preference and taste. Among this variety is the black tea, a mass favorite of people who are conscious about their health and fitness and wanting to maintain their vitality and strength during and after a stressful day at work.
Black tea is one of the many variants of tea that people have been consuming for many years throughout the world. It is more oxidized than the other varieties of tea. It is made from the leaves of 'Camellia Sinensis', a tea plant having an evergreen shrub. Like other forms of tea, it also contains caffeine, a stimulant that acts to invigorate our senses immediately. It also contains other important ingredients like polyphenols, vitamins, etc. Black tea is also referred to as a tea which is completely devoid of milk.
Ceylon Tea: It is yet another form of black tea, grown in Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. It has a citrus taste to it and is used in the form of a blend as well as in unmixed form.
The basic sauces of ancient civilizations may have consisted of ingredients like vinegar, salt and oils with flavorings of olives, maybe figs or fruit pulps, or crushed seeds of plants like the sesame.
Today there are countless recipes of chili sauces in the world which differ on the basis of their ingredients, and the only thing they share in common is the use of chili peppers. To add extra heat, some additional ingredients are often used such as pure capsaicin extract and mustards.
Nepalese Afternoon Tea: Compiling blends of lotus, honey and sandalwood, this blend of black tea is found in the base of Mount Everest in the Himalayan region of Nepal.
The next stage is the oxidation of the tea leaves which is done under controlled temperature and humidity. Various factors determine the quality of tea such as the quality and level of oxidation, the time taken to complete the stage of oxidation right from the stage of rolling of leaves, etc.
Dusts: They are the most finely grounded and powdered tea leaves left after the production of these aforementioned variety of leaves. Both fannings and dust have dark colors, completely devoid of sweetness, and have a strong flavor when brewed.
The preventions of osteoporosis is also possible in case of older women as it helps in improving their bone density.
India is amongst the five major producers of black tea that also includes Japan, China, Sri Lanka and the Russian Federation. The companies that produce the largest quantity of black tea in the world are Unilever-Lipton with 17.6% production, Tata Tea-Tetley, with 4% production, among others.

A significant number of officers in the Seattle Police Department (SPD) are resigning, with many of them citing their main reason being their refusal to be caught in the crossfire of the city's anti-police agenda and to work with a "socialist city council."
Media outlets in Seattle were recently able to obtain over 175 pages worth of exit interviews from more than one hundred SPD officers who have resigned in recent months. Similar sentiments kept coming up in their interviews, with many stating that they love their work and the officers they serve with but that their morale is at an all-time low because of the endless rioting and the perceived lack of support from the city government.
One retiring sergeant who had been on the force for more than 20 years said that he refuses to work for "this socialist City Council" whose political agenda is detrimental to the health and wellbeing of SPD officers. He believes that if the current city council is allowed to continue governing, then they will "destroy the fabric of this once fine city."
Another officer said that the department is fighting "an unwinnable battle" with the city council. The officer argues that this "will be the downfall of the city of Seattle." Similar feelings have been expressed by other officers, with one stating that they are leaving because the council is close to successfully defunding the SPD, while rioters aren't being prosecuted even if they assault police officers.
Another officer, a K9 handler who has worked with the SPD for over a decade, said that the department could offer to pay him twice what he's making now and he still wouldn't take it because of the "current political mayhem." He blamed his resignation on the lack of effective leaders in the police department and in the city government, as well as the presence of "Marxist collaborationists." (Related: Seattle City Council votes to override mayoral veto, effectively defunding their police department.)
Many officers have been able to find employment with neighboring police departments. Due to their expert training and the experience they gained in handling the recent rioting, many others have even been hired by federal law enforcement agencies to help train recruits.
Number of SPD resignations hit all-time high in September
According to city data, a total of 110 police officers have left this year. In September, a record-breaking 39 officers resigned, while another 14 have gone on extended leave. Of the 110 officers that left, 41 of them retired. Of the retirees, all but one were with the department for 25 years or more.
The September resignations are very significant because all of the officers who resigned were with the force for five years or less.
While local journalists have been able to uncover 110 resignations and retirements, the actual number of people who have left the SPD could be significantly higher. According to documents gathered by KOMO News, as many as 182 officers could have been terminated between March and September.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, a Democrat, said in a statement that, given the fact that the city is losing an unprecedented number of police officers, it is more important than ever for the department's ranks to be replenished with new members who are "committed to reform and community policing."
Mike Solan, the president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, the main union that represents rank-and-file SPD officers, called the trend of resignations "deflating."
"I'm seeing what I still believe is a great department being torn apart by politics," said Solan. "You've got major politicians still pushing false narratives of the job of policing. Because facts don't matter anymore, truth doesn't matter anymore. And it all depends upon how you feel that day, and that's why officers are leaving this city in droves."
Meanwhile, Councilwoman Lisa Herbold, chair of the Public Safety, Civil Rights and Technology Committee, refused to accept the validity of the data, saying that "One month's data is not a trend." Herbold also said that the 110 departures so far this year is only 11 more officers than the SPD projected would either retire, resign or be fired from the department by the end of 2020.
Lack of officers detrimental to public safety and ongoing police reforms
Dr. Jacqueline Helfgott, director of the Crime and Justice Research Center at Seattle University, said that the massive wave of resignations has disastrous consequences for the future of policing in Seattle. The main problem is that, for the past five years, the lack of police officers has been one of the top two public safety concerns in the city. She argues that the data shows that people actually want more police officers, not fewer.
Antonio Oftelie, a federal court-appointed monitor overseeing police reform in Seattle, said that the high attrition rate of the SPD can negatively affect the progress of ongoing reforms.
Oftelie says that the current levels of SPD staffing are far below what the district judge set for several different areas, particularly for many of the SPD's specialized units and divisions.
"If Seattle wants to have a very effective police organization, you have to have training in order to handle what happens on the streets well and right now that's in jeopardy," said Oftelie.

Theme Park Industry News Roundup – Issue #4
Update : 22:46 Published by François Mayné the 29 September 2013, New.
NewsParcs' Theme Park Industry News Roundup is a summary of the latest major news related to the theme park industry worldwide.
This Industry Roundup reports news specifically on operators, owners, trade associations and related organizations revolving around the amusement park industry. It also provides from time to time information on some parks (attendance levels, appointment, etc.) as well as trends and industry's figures. Read our previous issues (along with our Theme Park Supplier's News of the Week).
We take a look today at the 2013 Golden Ticket Awards presented by Amusement Today, at IAAPA's new appointments for key staffers, at Parks and Resorts' new CEO as well as at the death of the founder and owner of Drayon Manor Theme Park.
Golden Ticket Awards
Amusement Today – IAAPA Expo booth #4217
The U.S. trade magazine Amusement Today presented earlier this month the results of the 16th edition of the Golden Ticket Awards during a ceremony hosted by Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in California, USA.
This year again, the Golden Tickets were awarded in 25 different categories recognizing the best amusement parks, water parks, shows and attractions worldwide. The results have been set on the basis of a detailed survey sent to a database of experienced theme park enthusiasts selected under criteria by Amusement Today and balanced into five geographical regions (four for the United States and a last one for international fans).
Considered in the United States as an equivalent of The Oscars for the amusement industry, the Golden Ticket Awards are however relatively unknown in the rest of the world. Since their debut in 1998, they have been attributed to amusement parks only located in North America (with a few exceptions in the 2000') with surprising regularity since most of the award recipients are the same for many years.
In 2013 for instance, 22 of the 25 awards were given to the same parks as the previous year, including Cedar Point and Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort (in New Braunfels) which got the Golden Tickets of 'Best Amusement Park' and 'Best Water Park' for the sixteenth consecutive year. The overall winner is once again Dollywood which received five Golden Ticket Awards: 'Friendliest Park', 'Best Food', 'Best Christmas Event', 'Best Shows' and 'Best New Ride of 2013'in a water park for the hydromagnetic water slide 'River Rush' which was supplied by ProSlide Technology.
'Millenium Force' (Cedar Point) remains the holder of the 'Best Steel Coaster' award while 'Boulder Dash' (Lake Compounce) reclaims the number one place of 'Best Wooden Coaster' to 'El Toro' (Six Flags Great Adventure). The new hybrid wood coaster 'Outlaw Run' built at Silver Dollar City by Rocky Mountain Construction won the Golden Ticket for the 'Best New Ride of 2013' in an amusement park ahead of 'Iron Rattler' (Six Flags Fiesta Texas) and 'GateKeeper' (Cedar Point).
The other amusement parks honored in 2013 were: Universal Orlando Resort (Best Halloween Event, Best Dark Ride, Best Water Ride, Best Indoor Rollercoaster), Holiday World & Splashin' Safari (Cleanest Park, Best Waterpark Ride), Knoebels (Best Food tie with Dollywood, Best Carousel), Seaworld Orlando (Best Marine Park), Idlewild & SoakZone (Best Children's Park), Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (Best Seaside Park), Kings Island (Best Kid's Area), Busch Gardens Williamsburg (Best Landscaping), Epcot (Best Outdoor Night Show Production), Schlitterbahn Galveston Island (Best Indoor Waterpark) and Kennywood (Best FunHouse / Walkthrough Attraction).

Drayton Manor Theme Park
Drayton Manor Theme Park regrets to announce that the park's founder and owner, George H H Bryan, passed away on September 20 at the age of 92.
George Bryan was a trained engineer with a passion for the entertainment industry. He manufactured penny arcade machines with his father, William, who was known as 'King of the Penny Arcade'. It was in 1949 that he decided together with his wife Vera Bryan to move to Drayton Manor – a British stately home located in Staffordshire, England – with the intention of building a family theme park.
The park opened in April 1950 after George and Vera, along with a small, dedicated team of engineers and mechanics, spent six months transforming the 80-acre/32-ha site that was covered with brambles, mounds of rubbish and old army huts. It had one restaurant, a tea room, three hand operated rides, six rowing boats, some pedal cars and a set of second hand dodgem cars.
George Bryan was also a known philanthropist, supporting a number of local charities, which is part of his legacy. He received the OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 2004 in recognition for his dedication to hospital services and determination demonstrated in opening a tourist attraction in post-war Britain.
Drayton Manor Theme Park continues today to be run and owned by the family and has succeeded in becoming one of the UK's most popular family attractions. "George Bryan inspired all people he met, with his passion and humility. He was a devoted husband to Vera, father to Colin, Jane and Andrew, grandfather and great grandfather," stated the park in a statement.

Parks and Resorts
The Swedish leisure park operator Parks and Resorts, which owns Grôna Lund, Skara Sommarland, Furuvik, Kolmarden and Aquaria, has appointed Christer Fogelmarck, 41, to the position of Chief Executive Officer. Currently the company's marketing director, he will succeed Jan Roy who is retiring from January 1st, 2014.
"As a member of the group's management, Chister has been involved in shaping our future strategy and our investments for the coming years. With his extensive industry experience and his quality leardership, we think this is the right man to realize our plans," said Johan Tidstrand, principal owner of Parks and Resorts.
"I'm excited and honored to be entrusted with leading the continued development of Parks and Resorts along with all these great people. Every day, I am struck by the strong commitment and the expertise of our parks. The fact that we have very long-term owners creates very exciting opportunities for the future," commented Christer Fogelmarck.
With a total annual attendance of about 3 million visitors and a turnover of approximately SEK 950 million (approx €110 million / $145 million), Parks and Resorts is one of the largest amusement park operator in Northern-Europe.

Legal Problems for Zostavax Shingles Vaccine Manufacturer, But New Drug Approved
November 24, 2017 Drug Injury
In an attempt to prevent shingles, some patients may have unintentionally contracted the virus from their shingles vaccination. Zostavax, until recently the only approved shingles vaccine in the U.S., may cause serious injuries, including shingles, blindness, and even death. Injured patients have been filing lawsuits against Zostavax's manufacturer, Merck, and its new owner, Bayer, for failing to warn about its potential side effects.
The drug contains live varicella zoster virus – the chickenpox virus that also causes shingles. Once a person has had chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in their body. Later in life, if the immune system becomes weakened, the virus can reactivate to cause shingles.
Both chickenpox and shingles may result in serious damage to the nervous system, including conditions like meningitis, encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and stroke. Some people who develop shingles have serious side effects, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, congestive heart failure, or varicella pneumonia.
New Shingles Vaccine Just Approved by FDA
A new adult vaccine has recently received approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). GlaxoSmithKline's Shingrix is now recommended by the agency for use as a shingles preventative for all Americans 50 and older.
One in three Americans will develop shingles – also known as herpes zoster – in their lifetime, with the risk increasing to half of adults over 85, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The FDA's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which consults with the CDC on vaccine usage, also recommended that adults who received Zostavax, a shingles vaccine made by Merck, be revaccinated with Shingrix.
Lawsuits Against Zostavax Drugmaker
Zostavax uses a weakened form of the herpes zoster virus in order to activate the immune system. After fighting the weakened version of the virus, the body builds immunity. But over the years, Zostavax has achieved a track record for only working in half of all patients who receive the vaccine, at best, and even then the protection lasts for only about six years.
For patients who are immunocompromised, their bodies may not be able to fight off the small dose of the virus. This can cause a host of injuries, including chickenpox and shingles itself.
Lawsuits claim that, despite knowing that Zostavax could cause shingles, Merck didn't list this as a side effect until December 2014—long after the vaccine was approved by the FDA in 2006.
The FDA reports that Zostavax side effects can include the following:
Eye disorders, including necrotizing retinitis.
Some plaintiffs allege that Zostavax caused even more serious complications, such as blindness, paralysis, brain damage, and fatal liver failure.
If you received a shingles vaccination and subsequently developed shingles, chickenpox, or some other serious medical complication, you may feel it appropriate to consider taking legal action. If you have suffered from any side effects or shingles itself after receiving Zostavax, contact the accident and injury law office of Terry Bryant at 1 (800) 444-5000 or fill out our contact form.

On Thursday, Clas Ohlson opened up the doors to their store on Jungfernstieg in Hamburg. The store is Clas Ohlson's very first on the German market.
"Germany is a market that we have been interested in and glanced at for many years. We see a great potential in the German market and we believe that our concept will fit the German consumer very well," says Klas Balkow, President and CEO at Clas Ohlson.
Various kinds of activities took place for media and other guests earlier this week, but on Thursday the doors finally opened to the German consumers this morning and customers poured in.
"It is a big day for us today and we are overwhelmed by the interest for the opening. To see the massive amount of customers when we opened the doors to the store is an experience that I will never forget", says Klas Balkow.
Clas Ohlson's store on Jungfernstieg in Hamburg has a retail space of approximately 1,800 square meters. The catchment area of the store is approximately 680,000 inhabitants. Two more stores are scheduled to open in Hamburg this autumn, in the city districts of Altona and Alstertal.
In financial year 2016/17, Clas Ohlson plans to establish 10-15 new stores. The number of future stores contracted amounts to 10. Clas Ohlson has e-commerce in four out of six markets, and a total of 206 stores, of which 85 in Sweden, 72 in Norway, 34 in Finland, 13 in the UK, one in Germany and one franchise store in Dubai.

Tetra Tech is bringing clean water and effective delivery systems to Liberia to address water sector challenges.
Piped drinking water has not flowed in most of Liberia's secondary cities for a quarter century. Shortly after the Liberia civil conflict began in 1989, these systems were destroyed or fell into disrepair, leaving urban residents dependent on either unreliable or contaminated water sources like shallow wells and surface waters. As a result of the war, local capacity in water supply engineering, operations, maintenance, and management became limited or non-existent. Tetra Tech is implementing the Liberia Municipal Water Project (LMWP I & II), which is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
LMWP I & II aim to provide improved water supply access to 90 percent of the population in three county capitals - Robertsport, Voinjama, and Sanniquellie - with infrastructure managed by locally based entities that have the financial and technical capacity to sustain the service.
Under LMWP I, which ran from 2011 to 2016, Tetra Tech worked closely with the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC) and local stakeholders to facilitate the development of water supply master plans for each city that included participation from local stakeholders. Tetra Tech completed detailed construction designs for a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for all three cities, supported the tendering process, led a successful construction kickoff, and began providing construction quality assurance.
Tetra Tech facilitated consensus from all stakeholders on a new institutional framework for utility management that adds national and local accountability with a focus on financial stability. We helped establish local steering committees that served as a mechanism for public participation in planning and operational oversight for the first time. Through on-the-job and classroom trainings, Tetra Tech strengthened the capacity of LWSC, local stakeholders, and the private sector to plan, construct, operate, and manage water infrastructure, including setting cost-reflective tariffs, instituting financial procedures, and monitoring technical and financial performance indicators and progress toward cost recovery goals.
In Robertsport, an initial phase of the CIP now serves hundreds of households, and the main elements of the new institutional framework are in place. By 2016, the system had become the primary drinking water source for more than half of Robertsport's residents, selling hundreds of thousands of jerricans of water via kiosks and reducing distances traveled to obtain water by more than half. The system increased its cost recovery from 21 percent in 2013 to 67 percent in 2016.
Under LMWP II, which will run through 2020, Tetra Tech is continuing its construction quality assurance role and conducting institutional support and capacity building to prepare for operations. When construction is completed in 2018, an estimated 30,000 people will have access to clean, piped water for the first time in nearly three decades. Tetra Tech will provide ongoing management and operational support during the first two years of system operation.

Random Creative Writing Terms Beginning with J and K
Creative Writing Terms- A-E
Creative Writing Terms- F-J
Lead Time- The time between an article's submission and it's publication. This may be a very important bit of information for seasonal or other time sensitive articles. No one will read an article about this years officially designated cut off points for "proper" and "whorish" skirt lengths in late September, and your definitive rating system of all the pumpkin spiced foodstuffs offered in the entire tri-state area will be less awesome in March.
Limerick- A short, five-line poem usually of anapestic meter with a strict aabba rhyme scheme. It usually follows a pentameter (but with anapests) for the A lines and bimeter with the B lines, though often it is enough simply to have the B lines be shorter. Limericks often have sexual or at least humorous subject matter.
There once was a horny young blogger
Who gave up his dream to kill Hogger
He envisioned a fan
Who'd find him quite a man
And would scream not if he wanted to snog her
Linguistics- The study of structure and variation within language, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, and pragmatics. It's two principle approaches are descriptive and prescriptive. Descriptive linguistics focuses on how a language is used and prescriptive linguistics focuses on how language should be used. It is extremely important for a writer to understand both approaches and why they are important. A prescriptive grasp of linguistics (and grammar) is important given how much of the world, including many gatekeepers, will judge a writer's writing ability according to how many errors they make. Descriptive linguistics is important, however, to not come across like a sanctimonious religious asshole. Plus, honestly, most creatives are more interested in playing with language than being helplessly constrained by it. They bend and break the rules for effect. (Which should never be confused with not KNOWING the rules.) Stridently prescriptive writers tend to be better suited to editing and non-creative forms of writing.
Literary- Technically this means nothing more than "of or related to a body of written works of a language, period, or culture," but it has come to mean so much more among the humanities trenches of academia where the really important battles are fought--battles like what books people who are really cultured and sophisticated ought to be reading. (And those other departments waste their time on cold fusion and social injustice!) Though literary sommeliers and the ivory tower (which we are using to symbolize a giant white man's penis, you understand) would like to think that "literary" is a term that applies to a work's quality, regardless of content, they have an unreasonable prejudice towards genre fiction, which they make no effort to hide, despite the fact that it comprises much of the canon. They defend this prejudice staunchly, though it has no more logic than declaring all impressionism and abstract art to be "not real". Despite the claim that theirs is a quest merely for literary quality, they are blind to the tropes and cliches of their offerings and how it forms its own genre in much the same way that mainstream culture sometimes isn't aware of itself or how people have trouble hearing their own accents. Writers like Poe, Wells, Orwell, and more recently Marquez, Ishiguro, and Murakami actually require them to invent new sub-genres in order to keep soft-shoeing and jazz handing through their backpedal.

Got the go ahead from the CFO the other day to purchase a wetsuit for our 2 girls.. The hope is to extend there season some. They both started to ski this year and I'm sure that they will want to go the first time out next year but the water will be to cold for them and I'm not waiting till June to go. They will be 4 and 6 by then and probably around 45lbs and 43-46 inches tall.
Anyone have any experience with this size?
Is a wetsuit or drysuit best for this age?
Getting your water temp would help answer the question better. I just ordered a Bare drysuit and they don't size down as small as your girls are. Their XXS is 95lbs an 5'2" tall. Your best bet will be a wetsuit and it should be good for them to about 65* or so. Depends on how they handle the cold.
The manufactures all make good suits, so just make sure the one(s) you get fit right.
My concern on the drysuit is whether your girls will accept the tight seals at the ankles, wrists, and neck. We're worried about the same with our daughter.
On the wetsuit, the biggest problem we've had is making sure the material in the joints (knees and elbows) don't bunch up on her. Also, make sure the seams are soft (nothing like your girl complaining about the itchy wetsuit).
I got shorty wetsuits for my kids this past year (age 6&7). I figured if it got too cold they weren't going to want to go in the water anyway. They worked great for my kids through the middle of September. We got too busy after that with soccer, hockey and cheerleading for the kids to do much skiing anyway.
Call Peter @ Smooth Water Sports. He deals with dry suits all the time and can get them custom made for you.
When my daughter was 3 and 4, I bought her Wettech wetsuits - shortys. They fit well.
I have all the same concerns especially tight around the neck. I would like to buy one for both of them but not sure I can find one that wouldl fit both of them.
I bought a shorty for my 7yo from Overton's because he was complaining of being cold. Worked like a champ for him. But I agree with the above in that 1. the child may not like the tight seal and 2. if the water is that cold, they may not be all that enthused about having a cold head, feet, or hands.
It will be around 60 but to the little ones thats cold. The air temp will be in the 70's. Looking for something that will get them in the water a few weeks earlier.
A shorty wet suit or a long sleeved, short leg one will/should be perfect then!
BTW if your season is already over just wait until february/march and costco will have shorty wet suits for adults and kids for cheap. IIRC they are 3/2 suits.
At 60 degree water temps I would put them in full wetsuits. Particularly if they are going to be spending any time in the water (deep water starts). Our daughter switches from the shortie to the full suit when the water hits the low to mid-60s unless the air temp is really high. She's never complained about being too hot in the water -- only too cold.

Visit our office in Avalon, or have our vet come to you!
From routine puppy and kitten exams to urgent surgical cases, our full-service hospital has the experienced staff and diagnostic equipment to provide prompt, quality care in a warm, welcoming environment.
Regular examinations are critical to your pet's well-being. These routine visits allow our veterinarian to evaluate your pet's overall health and provide a baseline for each patient's unique bodies and tendencies.
Not only do these exams keep us up-to-date with your pet's health, they also allow us to detect changing trends in weight, lab results, and vital signs to help identify potential problems before they become serious.
Sometimes it can be difficult to make it to our office. We understand that it is not always possible to bring your pet to our clinic, so we offer house calls for the convenience and comfort of keeping your pet at home.
There can be challenges when caring for a pet that cannot be moved from their location for one reason or another; please let us know about any specific requests or conditions that will require special attention; we promise to communicate with you throughout the process to make sure it goes smoothly for both you and your companion.
From the time you bring home that tiny new puppy or kitten to helping your old friend manage the Golden Years, we are here to help you in any way we can.
We take the time to help guide you through recommended vaccinations, provide nutrition counseling and discuss behavior techniques.
As your pet ages, we can offer geriatric screening to detect disease in its early stages and pain management to keep your friend comfortable.
And on that dreadful day when your beloved pet can go on no longer, we're here to offer compassion and kindness for a respectful goodbye.
Is your pet sick? Limping? Does something just not seem right? We are happy to help!
We are available for urgent cases during our regular business hours for both established and new patients. Our hospital offers digital x-ray, ultrasound, in-house complete blood count (CBC) and chemistry analyzers, urinalysis, and more.
We are able to hospitalize patients if necessary, but please be aware that we are not a 24-hour facility and do not have staff available overnight. If your pets condition is critical in nature and it is in your pet's best interest, we may recommend referral to a 24-hour care facility, such as P.V.S.E.C. or University Veterinary Specialists.
As pets grow from puppies and kittens to adults and enter geriatric years, their nutritional needs change. Our veterinarians and certified technicians are trained to help you meet your pet's dietary needs based on age, health status, and lifestyle. Contact us to schedule your pet's personal nutritional consultation!
Obesity is common among dogs and cats, and it often causes serious health problems (such as diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease).
We understand how hard it is to resist those big, brown, begging eyes, but an overfed pet risks a shortened lifespan.
Preserve your companion's quality of life by striving to maintain a healthy body weight with proper diet and exercise!
Our veterinarians are experienced with a variety of surgical services including spays, neuters, lump removals (lumpectomy), declawing, bladder stone removal (cystotomy), amputation, gastrointestinal surgeries, dental surgery, and emergency procedures.
Full surgical suite with inhalant anesthesia, extensive patient monitoring systems (including ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, respiratory and body temperature monitoring) to ensure your pet's safety.
All anesthetic patients are directly monitored by a Certified Veterinary Technician throughout the procedure and recovery.
Comprehensive pain management is individualized for each and every surgical and dental/oral surgery patient to keep your pet comfortable in the hospital and at home.
A healthy mouth helps promote wellness throughout the body. Our veterinarian can provide a complete Oral Health Assessment and recommend a treatment protocol to suit your pet's needs.
Digital dental radiology (x-ray) allows the veterinarian to view your pet's oral structures beneath the gumline. This non-invasive diagnostic technique can help detect disease in and around the roots of the teeth, including areas of bone loss, ligament detachment, and problems within the pulp cavity that are invisible to the naked eye.
Radiographs (x-rays) can provide critical information about your pet's internal structures. Views of the chest give the veterinarian information about heart and lung health; views of the abdomen can help diagnose problems with the gastrointestinal tract and other vital internal organs; skeletal images help to diagnose bone fractures, arthritis, and intervertebral disc disease.
Digital radiography allows our staff to immediately view your pet's images. This reduces stress on your pet by minimizing time spent on the x-ray table and nearly eliminates the need for retakes.
Our in-house laboratory allows us to perform testing on-site during your appointment. This means you get your pet's results at your appointment, and the veterinarian is able to diagnose and begin treatment quickly.
Specialized or non-urgent testing may be sent to a referral lab, in which case the veterinarian will call to discuss your pet's health after receiving and reviewing results.
Most referral laboratory testing is completed within 24-48 hours.
At Avalon Veterinary Hospital, we are happy to offer microchipping. Thousands of pets go missing every year, and a microchip (with current information!) is an excellent means of permanent ID to help you reunite with your pet.
A microchip is a small RFID (radio-frequency identification) device. Only about the size of a grain of rice, it is simple to implant under the skin between your dog or cat's shoulders.
It is designed for safety and does not emit a signal until it is scanned by a microchip reader by a veterinarian, animal shelter, or humane officer. This displays a unique 9- to 16-digit number (like the VIN on a car) that links to a database containing your contact information.

Location of Galesburg within Illinois
Wikimedia Commons: Galesburg, Illinois
Website: City of Galesburg
Galesburg is a city in Knox County, Illinois, United States. This city is forty-five miles northwest of Peoria. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 32,195. It is the county seat of Knox County.[2] Galesburg is home to Knox College, a private four-year liberal arts college, and Carl Sandburg College, a two-year community college.
Galesburg City Township is an active township that is coterminous with the city.
Galesburg is the principal city of the Galesburg Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Knox and Warren counties.
Galesburg was founded by George Washington Gale,[3] a Presbyterian minister from New York state who dreamed of establishing a manual labor college (which became Knox College). A committee from New York purchased 17 acres (0.069 km2; 0.027 sq mi) in Knox County in 1835, and the first 25 settlers arrived in 1836. They built temporary cabins in Log City near current Lake Storey, just north of Galesburg, having decided that no log cabins were to be built inside the town limits.
Galesburg was home to the first anti-slavery society in Illinois, founded in 1837, and was a stop on the Underground Railroad.[4] The city was the site of the fifth Lincoln-Douglas debate, on a temporary speaker's platform attached to Knox College's Old Main building on October 7, 1858. Knox College continues to maintain and use Old Main to this day. An Underground Railroad Museum and Lincoln-Douglas Debate Museum were built in Knox College's Alumni Hall after it had finished renovations.
Galesburg was the home of Mary Ann Bickerdyke, who provided hospital care for Union soldiers during the American Civil War. After the Civil War, Galesburg was the birthplace of poet, author, and historian Carl Sandburg, poet and artist Dorothea Tanning, and former Major League Baseball star Jim Sundberg. Carl Sandburg's boyhood home is now operated by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency as the Carl Sandburg State Historic Site. The site contains the cottage Sandburg was born in, a modern museum, the rock under which he and his wife Lilian are buried, and a performance venue.
Throughout much of its history, Galesburg has been inextricably tied to the railroad industry. Local businessmen were major backers of the first railroad to connect Illinois' (then) two biggest cities—Chicago and Quincy—as well as a third leg initially terminating across the river from Burlington, Iowa, eventually connecting to it via bridge and thence onward to the Western frontier. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) sited major rail sorting yards here, including the first to use hump sorting. The CB&Q also built a major depot on South Seminary Street which was controversially torn down and replaced by a much smaller station in 1983. The yard is still used by the BNSF Railway.
A BNSF train passes through central Galesburg near the site of the former Santa Fe depot.
In the late 19th century, when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway connected its service through to Chicago, it also laid track through Galesburg, making this city one of relatively few of its size to be served by multiple railroads and even fewer to have multiple railroad depots. (Indeed, it was not until 1996[5] that Amtrak finally closed the old Santa Fe depot and consolidated all passenger operations at the site of the former Burlington Northern depot.) A series of mergers eventually united both lines under the ownership of BNSF Railway, carrying an average of seven trains per hour between them. As of the closing of the Maytag plant in fall of 2004, BNSF is once again the largest private employer in Galesburg.
In addition, Galesburg was home to the pioneering brass era automobile company Western, which produced the Gale, named for the town.[6]
Lombard College was located in Galesburg until 1930, and is now the site of Lombard Middle School.
The Carr Mansion in Galesburg was the site of a presidential cabinet meeting held in 1899 by U.S. President William McKinley and U.S. Secretary of State John Hay.
Galesburg is located at 40°57′8″N 90°22′7″W / 40.95222°N 90.36861°W / 40.95222; -90.36861 (40.952292, -90.368545).[7]
According to the 2010 census, Galesburg has a total area of 17.928 square miles (46.43 km2), of which 17.75 square miles (45.97 km2) (or 99.01%) is land and 0.178 square miles (0.46 km2) (or 0.99%) is water.[8]

Amtrak, the national passenger rail system, provides service from Chicago on four trains daily. It operates the California Zephyr, Carl Sandburg, Illinois Zephyr, and Southwest Chief daily from Chicago to Galesburg (Amtrak station) and points west. The Southwest Chief and the state-supported Carl Sandburg and Illinois Zephyr take passengers to Chicago as well, but the Zephyr only discharges passengers on its eastbound run.
Galesburg Transit provides bus service to the City of Galesburg. There are 4 routes: Gold Express Loop, Green Central Loop, Red West Loop, & Blue East Loop.[11] BNSF provides rail freight to Galesburg and operates a large hump yard 1.9 miles[12] south of town.[13]
Galesburg is served by Interstate 74, whose route runs north to Moline, Illinois in the Quad Cities region, and to the southeast to Peoria, Illinois and beyond. The Chicago – Kansas City Expressway, also known as Illinois Route 110 (IL 110), runs through Galesburg, to the southwest it passes through Macomb, Illinois, the home of Western Illinois University, and towards Quincy, Illinois, before crossing into Missouri. U.S. Route 34 connects Galesburg with Burlington, Iowa.
The Galesburg Municipal Airport provides general aviation access, while Quad City International Airport and General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport both provide commercial flights.
Galesburg will soon be home to the National Railroad Hall of Fame. Efforts are underway to raise funds for the $30 million project which got a major boost in 2006, when the United States Congress passed a bill to charter the establishment. It is hoped that the Museum will bring tourism and a financial boost to the community.

Galesburg is the home of the Railroad Days festival held on the fourth weekend of June.[16] The festival began in 1978 as an open house to the public from the then Burlington Northern. Burlington Northern gave train car tours of their yards. The City of Galesburg started having street fairs to draw more people to town. In 1981, the Galesburg Railroad Museum was founded and opened during Railroad Days. For a while, the city and the railroad worked together on planning the annual celebrations. In 2002, the railroad backed out of the planning of the festival and there were no tours of the yards. In 2003 the city worked with local groups to revamp the festival and the Galesburg Railroad Museum resumed bus tours of the yards. The Galesburg Railroad Museum has continued to provide tours of the yards since then. In 2010, the Galesburg Railroad Museum started offering a VIP tour of the yards, in which a select group of riders would be allowed in the Hump Towers and Diesel Shop and see the BNSF at work. During the festival, Carl Sandburg College hosts one of the largest model railroad train shows and layouts in the U.S. Midwest.[16]
During Labor Day weekend in September, Galesburg hosts the Stearman Fly in.[17] Also in September are the Great Cardboard Boat Regatta and the Annual Rubber Duck Race held at Lake Storey.[18][19] On the third weekend of every August, a Civil war and Pre 1840s Rendezvous is held at Lake Storey Park.
The Black Earth Film Festival has been a part of the Galesburg art community since 2004. Affiliated with the Galesburg Civic Art Center, the festival receives entries from all over the world. The Black Earth Film Festival now takes place in February as of 2014 and presents the best in feature length, short subjects, documentaries, animation and foreign films. Awards are given for the aforementioned categories, as well as a peoples choice award for best overall film. Festival highlights include special guests from within the film industry. Past participants have included Director John D. Hancock (Bang The Drum Slowly, Prancer, Let's Scare Jessica to Death,) Filmmakers Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank (subjects of the award Winning Documentary American Movie) and Filmmakers Eric Zala and Chris Strompolos (Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation.)
There is a kite festival every May at Lake Storey Park.[20]

A McLaren MP4-31 egy Tim Goss és csapata által tervezett Formula-1-es versenyautó, mely a 2016-os Formula-1 bajnokság során volt a McLaren-csapat autója. Az autókat a kétszeres világbajnok Fernando Alonso és az egyszeres világbajnok Jenson Button vezették, illetve egy verseny erejéig az Alonsót helyettesítő Stoffel Vandoorne tesztpilóta. Ez volt az utolsó McLaren, mely a Ron Dennis-érában készült, és ennek megfelelően az utolsó MP4-jelzésű McLaren. Az autó továbbra sem volt versenyképes, mert túl lassú volt, viszont már jóval kevésbé megbízhatatlan, így a középmezőny állandó szereplőjévé vált az előző évi sereghajtó kategóriából.

Évad
Már a szezon eleji teszteken kiderült, hogy a tavalyi kudarcokhoz képest történt előrelépés, bár a szezonnyitó Ausztrál Nagydíjon csak a 12. és a 13. helyeket szerezték meg az időmérő edzésen. A versenyen Alonso hatalmas balesetet szenvedett, mikor összeütközött Esteban Gutierrez Haas-Ferrarijával. A darabokra tört autóból csodával határos módon épen szállt ki, bár azt csak később ismerte el, hogy bordáját törte, és emiatt ki kellett hagynia a soron következő Bahreini Nagydíjat. Itt a régóta Formula–1-es ülésre váró tesztpilóta, Stoffel Vandoorne helyettesítette, aki lenyűgöző teljesítménnyel a 10. helyen ért célba, és megszerezte a csapat első pontját.

Az autó a kvalifikációk során képes volt arra, hogy rendre bejusson a Q2-be, az Orosz Nagydíjon pedig hosszú idő után kettős pontszerzésre is képesek voltak. A későbbiekben a Q3-ba jutás is sikerült, Monacóban pedig elérték azt, hogy több pontot gyűjtöttek, mint az előző évben összesen. Mindazonáltal számos alkalommal hátráltatta őket technikai probléma, mely vagy a motorhoz, vagy a váltóhoz kapcsolódott. Pozitív meglepetés volt a csapattól, hogy az egyébként számukra teljesen esélytelennek ígérkező Osztrák Nagydíjon Jenson Button az ötödik helyre kvalifikálta magát, de a büntetéseknek köszönhetően a harmadik helyről indulhatott, és bár a motorerő hiánya miatt hamar visszaesett, még így is a hatodik helyen zárt. A Magyar Nagydíjon mindkét autójuk bejutott a Q3-ba, amely hatalmas teljesítmény volt részükről. A futam kiábrándítóan alakult: Button fékpedáljával komoly problémák adódtak, ezért vissza kellett vennie a tempóból, a boxutcába is ki kellett állnia, ráadásul meg is büntették illegális rádiózásért. Végül olajszivárgás miatt idő előtt fel kellett adnia a versenyt. Alonso mindazonáltal a hetedik helyen fejezte be a versenyt.

A nyári szünet után a McLaren elvileg új fejlesztési csomaggal érkezett volna, de mint mondták, ezt csak Szingapúrban kívánták bevetni. Ennek ellenére meglepetés volt a Belga Nagydíjon, a hagyományosan a motorerőre támaszkodó pályán a jó teljesítményük: Button kiesése ellenére Alonso ismét hetedik lett. Monzában teljesen esélytelenek voltak, azonban Alonso megfutotta a verseny leggyorsabb körét, amely 1992 óta az első McLaren-Honda leggyorsabb kör volt, és a 2013-as Maláj Nagydíj óta az első leggyorsabb McLaren-kör. Szingapúrban debütáltak a fejlesztések, de azok nem voltak túl megbízhatóak, ezért egyelőre visszavonták azokat. Japánban aztán mindkét autó megkapta az új motorokat, de ezek nem váltak be. További fejlesztéseket követően a teljesítményük az utolsó pár versenyen. A csapat 76 ponttal végül a hatodik helyen zárt a konstruktőrök bajnokságában.

Eredmények

Megjegyzés:
 † – Nem fejezte be a futamot, de rangsorolva lett, mert teljesítette a versenytáv 90%-át.

Although the findings are so far only in mice, studies suggest that aspirin—even the "low-dose" variety—might help counter multiple sclerosis.
For the study, Mondal's team fed aspirin to mice specially bred to mimic the human form of MS. The investigators found that even low doses of aspirin—equal to the 81 milligram "baby aspirin" many take to ward off heart trouble—seemed to curb symptoms of MS in the mice.

Q: How can I configure pre-commit tool to rely on a single location for all hook configurations? Please note that this question is about pre-commit.com tool and not about installing git-hooks.
The tool uses a .pre-commit-config.yml in the root of your repository, one file that defines which hooks are to be used and that also pins them using git tags. The pinning is useful as it avoids introducing random breakages when a newer hook/linter is released.
This raise a new challenge if you have lots of repositories (>40) and your hooks are actively developed. On OpenStack repositories that already adopted pre-commit tool this created a new maintenance burden, a signifiant one, especially as average time spent in CI for each patch is over 5 hours.
Configuring pre-commit to use HEAD is also not an option as this would totally break too often. T
Due to this I am wondering if there is another setup which would allow me to have a centralized pre-commit repository that defines its config and I could configure most projects to use that.
If this is possible it would bump linters from a single place. We can take care of breaking some repositories without any problems because we can trigger builds on other repositories if we want or alternatively we can take-the-risk.
There is also another aspect of this, some linters do need their own configuration files like .ansible-lint, .flake8 files and it would be nice if we could also keep these in a centralized location. That aspect is more problematic because there will be a number of repositories where we would be forced to alter the default configuration. This means that the only way it would work is if centralized linter config would be used only when there is no in-repo config.
How can I achieve that?
Please note that any solution should not change the way users are already linting (tox -e linters which calls pre-commit run -a). Requiring users to manually clone another repository or to run a bash script that does some magic would be a deal breaker because it would introduce another thing that needs to be maintained.
Background

*

*https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit/issues/450 is kinda similar but does not really provide a suitable solution

A: pre-commit is intentionally designed against centralized management because it makes it impossible to upgrade the centralized configuration without breaking lots of repositories.  For example, we managed hundreds of repositories at yelp and when the systems team would upgrade flake8 a good percentages of them them would break!.  At the core, pre-commit is designed for repeatability and per-repository customization.  It provides a mechanism to make this way easier: pre-commit autoupdate.  You can also use a distributed refactoring tool such as all-repos (which has direct pre-commit support) to make sweeping changes to the configuration (and have each individual repository tested in a repository).
That said, the design gives you quite a few escape hatches to allow unsupported pathways which could accomplish what you're looking for.  The issue you linked in fact contains many of these solutions (it's where I've been trying to accumulate them!) -- I'll reiterate them here though.

using "pre-commit in pre-commit"
at the end of the day, pre-commit is just a tool which calls executables, why can't that executable be pre-commit? (it can)

symlinks
nothing currently requires that .pre-commit-config.yaml is a regular file.  You could make it be a symlink
Some ideas on how a symlink might accomplish this:

*

*conventionally cloned repository adjacent to working repositories (.pre-commit-config -> ../convention/pre-commit-config.yaml)

*configuration management managed file (.pre-commit-config.yaml -> /etc/pre-commit/pre-commit-config.yaml)

*submodule (.pre-commit-config.yaml -> submodule/pre-commit-config.yaml)

Don't use pre-commit install and use your own shell script for .git/hooks/pre-commit / etc.
pre-commit install is a convenience, but not necessary to work.  it's ~essentially a wrapper around pre-commit run, you could easily substitute that script for a shell script which calls pre-commit run --config /etc/pre-commit/pre-commit-config.yaml.

Netflix shares jumped more than 10 percent after the company said it gained more subscribers than expected at home and abroad, helped by original series like"Orange is the New Black," and predicted additional growth this quarter.
Netflix, the biggest gainer in the S&P 500 in 2013, reported its net income more than quadrupled to $31.8 million, or 52 cents a share, in the third quarter, from $7.7 million, or 13 cents a share, in the year-earlier period.
Revenue increased 22 percent to $1.11 billion from $905 million a year ago.
Analysts had expected the movie-streaming service to report earnings of 49 cents a share on $1.1 billion in revenue, according to a consensus estimate from Thomson Reuters.
The company, which has invested heavily in original content such as political satire "House of Cards" to draw in subscribers, said it had 31.1 million U.S. streaming users in the third quarter. It expects to end the year with 32.7 million to 33.5 million users, accelerating that momentum.
"That keeps the view alive that this company has a larger subscriber base and has pricing leverage in its corner to extract more value," said Janney Montgomery Scott analyst Tony Wible, who rates Netflix a "buy."
During the quarter, Netflix released critically acclaimed prison drama "Orange is the New Black," part of its investment in exclusive original programming to keep and attract customers to its $8-a-month movie and TV streaming service.
Its original series slate attracted buzz during the quarter, with 14 Emmy nominations and three wins for shows including "House of Cards."
The company said it will double investments in original programming in 2014, when it will air second seasons of both "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black."
Wall Street also singled out the company's strong growth abroad. It added 1.4 million customers in international markets, bringing its reach in foreign territories to 9.2 million.
For the fourth quarter, Netflix expects earnings between 47 cents and 73 cents a share vs. the 46 cents a share analysts currently expect.
"I think you can continue to be bullish," Mark Mahaney, managing director in the Internet sector at RBC Capital Markets, said on CNBC's "Fast Money." He cited four potential catalysts for the stock: Signing cable distribution deals, having higher-priced offerings that could boost margins, showing international profitability and delivering another original content hit.
"They've got two on their hands — 'House of Cards' and 'Orange Is the New Black,'" Mahaney said. If they do it again next year,they'll really prove that they have HBO-like content capabilities."

Board Policy (BP) is the voice of the Board of Trustees and defines the general goals and acceptable practices for the operation of the District. It implements federal and state laws and regulations. The Board, through policy, delegates authority to and through the Superintendent/President to administer the District. The Superintendent/President and District employees are responsible to reasonably interpret Board Policy as well as other relevant laws and regulations that govern the District.
Administrative Procedures (AP) implement Board policy, laws, and regulations. They address how the general goals of the District are achieved and define operations of the District. They include details of policy implementation, responsibility, accountability, and standards of practice. Although procedures may be developed by the Superintendent/President, managers, faculty, and staff members, it is the administrators/managers who are held responsible for upholding the specific information delineated in the procedures. Administrative Procedures do not require Board action. Not all Board Policies have a related Administrative Procedure.
Guidelines, handbooks and answers to frequently asked questions have been developed by departments to provide additional information and assistance for students, employees and the community.
