Southwestern ranchers say Border Patrol failing to secure border; feds say activity is down
The U.S. Border Patrol does not go far enough to protect Southwestern ranchers from smugglers and others who cross the Mexican border illegally, the businessmen said Wednesday during a conference of border sheriffs in Arizona.
Several of the ranchers said they don't bother calling agents anymore when they encounter illegal activity on their property, but the federal government says it has taken steps to boost safety.
Peggy Davis and her family own a cattle ranch 25 miles north of the border. Their home has been burglarized repeatedly and the family has received personal threats, she said.
"We have a lot invested here. Emotion, money, time, heritage," Davis said. "It's our livelihood, it's our ranch, it's our heritage."
Paul Beeson, the commander for the Customs and Border Protection Joint Field Command in Arizona, said there is much less activity on the Arizona-Mexico border now than in recent years, and that the bulk of crossings happen in south Texas.
The agency, parent agency of Border Patrol, is committed to securing the border and has created three task forces to tackle safety issues, he said.
"We want to do everything we can to stop it. We have a difference of opinion on how we do that, but this situation is not OK," Beeson said.
Many ranchers say the government should stop immigrants at the international border, not after they cross it. They offer different solutions on safety issues but agree that something needs to be done.
Jim Chilton, whose ranch is less than 6 miles from the border, said the agency's strategy is not working. He said it takes too long for agents to respond to calls from ranchers and that the Border Patrol should focus its efforts on stopping migrants and smugglers at the border.
Chilton says he installed three motion cameras that have caught 350 people walking through his ranch in the last two years.
"We need a wall on my ranch. It's 25 miles of barbwire fence," Chilton said.
Ed Ashurst said ranchers rely heavily on border sheriffs for protection and recalled the death of his friend, border rancher Rob Krentz, who was found gunned down on his Arizona property in 2010.
"This is a plea. I'm pleading with you to please be aware of and maintain our autonomy from federal agencies," Ashurst said.

To Be Young, 'Gifted' And Black, It Helps To Have A Black Teacher
By Anya Kamenetz
Published January 20, 2016 at 7:30 AM EST
On a recent, chilly Sunday morning, children ranging in age from 4 to 6 waited with their parents in the cafeteria of a Brooklyn school. Each wore a name tag.
The kids chatted cheerfully (in several languages) until each was summoned upstairs to be tested for a spot in New York City's gifted program. Their parents sent them off with hugs and the promise of special treats for doing their best.
When a student is identified as "gifted," the label is a vote of confidence — as in the indelible Nina Simone song. It also comes with a prize package: extra services, accelerated classes, individualized learning plans. The availability of these services varies widely from district to district. The chances of being identified as gifted also varies — notably, by race.
A new, national study finds that black students are about half as likely as white students to be put on a "gifted" track — even when they have comparable test scores.
Previous surveys have found a similar gap, but the researchers here — Jason Grissom and Christopher Redding at Vanderbilt University — looked only at students attending schools with gifted programs. So the disparity can't be accounted for by, say, the fact that black students are more likely to attend under-resourced schools.
Only one factor erased this disparity between students: the race of their teachers.
Nonblack teachers identify black students as gifted in reading 2.1 percent of the time. Black teachers are three times more likely to identify black students as gifted in reading: 6.2 percent of the time. That's the same rate as for white students, no matter the race of their teacher.
Grissom, a political economist by trade, tells NPR Ed that this disparity in the identification of gifted students may be an unintended consequence of efforts to overhaul gifted programs. Because of racial gaps in standardized test scores, many districts have moved away from using tests alone to identify gifted students. Instead they rely more on the opinions of teachers.
"That opens a big potential door as a driver for disparity," Grissom says. "We moved to a system of a more holistic review, but the consequence of that has created more opportunities for discretion."
Jose Luis Vilson is a middle school math teacher and author of the book This Is Not a Test: A New Narrative on Race, Class and Education.Vilson, who is African-American and Hispanic, says "five or six times a year" he recommends a student of color for advanced classes or a competitive high school only to find himself having to convince his fellow teachers of the student's aptitude.
"It's generally been my role to see past the cultural differences in the ways that students demonstrate their knowledge." Vilson says that, in his experience, some teachers may associate giftedness with a certain type of vocabulary, a "docile" attitude, even a certain style of penmanship.
The bias is often there "on the part of the student," too, Vilson says. "They don't believe in themselves. They don't see themselves as capable because they have a set of behaviors that don't align with the gifted norm."
Other research suggests that black students are more likely to face disciplinary actions in school. Is it possible that, with two equally curious, verbal, energetic young children, a black student is more likely to be labelled a troublemaker by a white teacher, while a white student is more likely to be labelled gifted?
Perhaps, says Grissom. Or maybe there are other factors of cultural competence, as Vilson suggests, that make a black teacher better able to identify giftedness in black students. Perhaps black students gain more confidence and are better able to learn from black teachers. Or maybe black parents are more comfortable advocating for their children with black teachers.
"We can't tell from this study what specific mechanism is underlying this," he says. "So the next step is to try to dig further to see if we can nail it down a little bit."

This album continues the quintet's exciting impromptu dialogue at Munich's Domicile jazz club, as the band plays classic jazz standards with a drive and exuberance indicative of the onstage comradery. Stella By Starlight is taken at a bright tempo with stellar solos by Candoli and Rosolino. Isla Eckinger's masterful solo demonstrates why he is one of Europe's outstanding bassists, and Frank and Conte trade dazzling eight and four bar passages before playing the theme out. The quintet maintains a scintillating tempo on Just Friends, and keeps the heat up on There Is No Greater Love. Thelonious Monk's classic Well You Needn't is played up-tempo. Rosolino and Candoli fluently maneuver their way through the changes, while pianist Rob Pronk tips his hat to Monk's pianistic magic. There's some incendiary four bar exchanges between the horns and drummer Todd Conedy on the 16 bars before the last theme. Jobim's bossa Quiet Nights morphs into incandescent swing, while the band transforms the ballad My Funny Valentine into an infectious hard-swinging letter of love to the art of improvisation. Critic Mike Hennessey called the album "Carefree relaxed and rip-roaring jam session music at its spontaneous best". That fits.

Over the last three to four decades, the dependence on groundwater as a source of irrigation burgeoned and consequently the problems of groundwater over-exploitation have been a focus area for policymakers.
As per the latest assessment of groundwater resource availability and utilisation by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), the net annual groundwater availability is 411 billion cubic metres (bcm), annual groundwater draft is 253 bcm, amounting to a stage of groundwater development of 62%. Based on an assessment of the stage of groundwater development at the level of blocks/mandals/taluks/firka, the CGWB has categorised 1,034 assessment units as 'over-exploited', 253 as 'critical' and 681 as 'semi-critical' out of a total of 6,584 such units.
Exploiting the energy-groundwater nexus through energy pricing, enhancing water use efficiency through incentivising use of technological innovations (drip and sprinkler irrigation) and non-technological measures (controlling the timing of paddy transplantation) have been some of the important policy instruments to tackle the receding water table.
Issues related to consumption of poor or contaminated water are also increasingly being recognised and actions are being taken to ensure safe drinking water to affected populations. Arsenic, for instance, which had been found in well water in West Bengal during the early 1980s has been taken up as a serious public health issue. Although grassroots-level reach of government measures in creating awareness and ensuring safe drinking water for the affected population remains questionable, there seems to be some concrete action in the right direction. However, the aspect that has not received due attention is the implications of contaminated irrigation water on agriculture.
Arsenic is now known to be widely prevalent in the floodplains of rivers with their origin in the Himalayas and has its coverage across the states of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Manipur and Chhattisgarh. Numerous research studies based on scientific experiments have confirmed deterioration in fertility of soil and decline in yield of crops when arsenic-concentrated water is applied for irrigation. The impact on yield varies across crops, variety of crop grown, soil type and soil conditions. Moreover, another well-known fact is that extraction of groundwater in contaminated zones increases the mobilisation of arsenic from rocks into the aquifer.
The cause for concern stems from the fact that having utilised the yield potential as well as the irrigation potential in north-western states, the government has directed attention towards the relatively water-abundant eastern states to bring about a second Green Revolution in order to meet India's growing food requirements. Such a shift became explicitly visible with the introduction of the 'Bringing Green Revolution to Eastern India' scheme launched in 2011 under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana.
The question that needs to be asked is, is this the right step forward if, on the one hand, we talk of 'sustainable groundwater management' and 'sustainable agriculture' and, on the other, we push for increased groundwater usage in areas where its extraction and usage would be detrimental to the resource itself as well as diminish the possibilities for agriculture in the long run.
Without doubt, the resource is a crucial component of the country's agriculture sector, with nearly 80% of irrigated agriculture being supported by groundwater, and hence it is a significant contributor to achieving the goal of food security.
At the national level, particularly, we observe a lack of due attention towards the status of groundwater quality, its larger implications, and so towards initiatives in the right direction. In fact, significant increase in groundwater use in so-called 'groundwater-abundant' areas without proper appraisal of the available resource in terms of quantity, quality and other environmental conditions is noted.
Although the latest Model Bill for the Conservation, Protection, Regulation and Management of Groundwater, 2016, laid out by the central Ministry of Water Resources, to be appropriately modified and implemented by each state government has provided a good set of guidelines, it will be beneficial only if those provisions are implemented with the right force and spirit. It suggests the demarcation of areas affected by arsenic, fluoride and salinity ingress under 'groundwater protection zones'. This is in line with its mandate of protecting groundwater from depletion, deterioration, biological and chemical pollution.
The Model Bill further includes a section on the need for undertaking environmental impact assessment, specifically on the short-term and long-term impacts on quantity and quality of groundwater, impacts on agricultural production and so on. Similar such bills have been presented previously in 1992, 1996, 2005 and 2011. However, to date, only 14 states have enacted a legislation for groundwater resource management.
Sustainable use of groundwater needs to be encompassed and imbibed in an all-pervasive sense by managing both quantity and quality deterioration of the resource. It further calls for understanding the long-term implications of extracting contaminated groundwater on the groundwater quality itself, on human health as well as on agricultural production. For instance, arsenic concentration in aquifer may increase with groundwater pumping and its usage over long periods can render agriculture unsustainable. Rainwater harvesting, tapping deeper arsenic-free aquifer or finding alternative irrigation sources are some of the possible solutions whose feasibility may be assessed and accordingly implemented.

When it comes to humble wool felt, two layers can be lovelier, and sturdier, than one. And with a few stitches or a piece of wire, the two-dimensional fabric soon takes on three.
Before you know it, you've transformed flat pieces of felt into decorative objects and everyday items, such as this festive fall wreath for the mantel.
Cut 3 equal rectangles large enough to accommodate template: 1 from medium-brown felt, 1 from fusible webbing, and 1 from light-tan felt. Cut one 4-inch-long piece of floral wire.
Felt Stack brown felt and webbing. Center wire on webbing; leave 2 1/4 inches of wire extending past bottom edge. Place light-tan felt on top. Iron, following webbing manufacturer's instructions.
Lay template on fused felt, centering on wire; trace with a disappearing-ink pen. Cut out leaf. Wrap wire stem with brown floral tape. Repeat to make more leaves (about 65 for this project), using heather-tan felt as top layer for half the leaves.
To make 5 leaves at a time, make these adjustments: Cut rectangles of felt and webbing that are 5 1/2 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches tall. Arrange 5 wires on webbing at 1-inch intervals. After fusing, trace template over each wire. Cut out leaves.
Cut 1 triangular strip of melon-pink felt that is 4 inches long and tapers from 1/2 inch wide to 1/8 inch wide. Cut one 3-inch-long piece of floral wire. Wrap wire with brown floral tape. Apply a dab of fabric glue at wide end of felt. Lay top 3/8 inch of wire in glue. Roll felt around wire to form a berry, applying glue as you wor Repeat to make more berries (about 65 for this project), using salmon-pink felt for half the berries.
Cluster a few leaf and berry stems, and wrap with floral tape. Repeat to make more clusters.
Holding 1 cluster, affix a second cluster just below it using floral tape. Continue adding clusters until you create a 14-inch-long branch. Repeat to make second branch.
Cut three or four 3-inch lengths of wire, and wrap together with floral tape. Repeat to make another wire bundle.
Extend each branch by attaching 1 wire bundle to bottom of each with floral tape; cross ends, and bind with more tape. Bend each branch gently to create wreath shape. Using a narrow ribbon, tie a knot where branches cross.
Hang using 2 lengths of monofilament tied to each branch at widest part of wreath.

Melania slammed over choice of outfit for visit to national park
Melania Trump has been slammed online yet again for her choice of outfit while visiting Grand Teton National Park, despite requests that people stop focusing on what she's wearing.
The FLOTUS was out for a solo engagement as part of her ongoing Be Best campaign, which advocates against cyberbullying and drug use amongst young people.
Melania Trump was slammed online for her outfit choice. (Twitter)
But the internet was far more interested in what she was wearing than the cause she was promoting, hundreds of people taking to Twitter to troll Melania for her cream ensemble paired with a green puffer jacket.
"That's great gold digging attire," one person wrote on Twitter.
"Can sometime get this lady an appropriate pair of shoes to wear outdoors and tell her maybe not to wear all white?" said another.
People took particular issue with her shoes, a pair of heeled suede boots.
Twitter users took issue with her boots. (Twitter)
"While your tweets say, 'I'm here to experience the outdoors' your shoes say, 'let's take some photos and then we can head to the lodge bar'," one wrote.
However some responses focused on the hypocrisy of Melania promoting the national park just as President Donald trump faced criticism for disregarding climate change and environmental activism.
Donald Trump lied about receiving $1 million discount on Melania's engagement ring: report
Melania Trump trolled over her Christmas decorations in July
Melania Trump's 'amorous' moment with Justin Trudeau goes viral
White House hits back over criticism of Melania Trump's September 11 coat
"You mean the #NationalParks your husband @realDonaldTrump wants to deplete of their resources?" one wrote.
The fact that people are still attacking Melania for her outfits is a sad, but not surprising one.
Melania Trump teton national park (Twitter)
The First Lady has spoken about this ongoing issue before – one many powerful women face – and has reminded people that what she's doing is far more important than what she's wearing.
"I want to talk about my trip and not what I wear," she said while visiting Egypt this time last year.
"That's very important, what I do […] my initiatives and I wish people would focus on what I do, not what I wear."
Melania has previously addressed the focus on her fashion. (AP/AAP)
She's not alone in that desire, with many female politicians speaking out in the last few years about how often people focus on their outfits instead of their policies.
During her time as Australia's first female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard faced constant criticism and ridicule for her fashion choices, something none of the country's male politicians have ever had to endure.
Well, except for maybe Tony Abbot in that pair of red speedos.
It's time we listen to what she's saying, not what she's wearing. (AP/AAP)
Melania Trump has made it clear that her words and actions, whether you agree with them or not, are far more important and worthy of comment than what shade her blouse is or how she styled her hair.
And it's about time we start listening to her, regardless of how we feel about her or her husband's politics.

A Roadmap to Fixing California's Economy
By James P. Mayer
Executive Director of California Forward
It's difficult to find one word to describe the overall mood of Californians.
There's anxiety, frustration and anger about the state of our once Golden State.
Unlike previous generations, for many the California Dream will always be just a dream.
But when thousands of community leaders came together for genuine discussions about the state's economy, other words surfaced: Innovation and hope, entrepreneurship and confidence, even a stubborn pride that California business can lead the world again.
Several months ago, this conversation started in 14 "regions" that are geographic areas defined more by common economic activity than political boundaries. The question posed was this: If we could take any four or five actions to turn our state's economy around, what would they be?
These regional forums were sponsored by our partner, the California Stewardship Network, which is made up of regional groups that welcomed an opportunity to harmonize and build upon their previous discussions statewide. The forums revealed amazing agreement on a few of the right next steps to attract capital, improve workforce skills and reduce the unintended friction in regulations.
Regional participants then formed action teams to further refine the ideas, which were then presented and discussed at the first-ever California Economic Summit in Santa Clara in May.
The first deliverable from the Summit was a commitment to restoring California's prosperity that was signed by participants, and can be signed by you here.
The Summit also identified a number of actions that can be distilled into two immediate priorities:
1. California must creatively invest in people, infrastructure and innovation to prepare the regions of our state to compete in the 21st Century Global Economy.
2. California must streamline complex regulatory processes to reduce the cost of doing business while maintaining environmental standards.
To promote these priorities, seven "signature initiatives" were developed to begin articulating the comprehensive and sustained efforts needed to make California an attractive place to do business and foster quality job growth that in turn will reduce poverty, bolster the middle class, and provide the revenue that will allow California to double down on its future.
The recommended actions include improving the efficiency and reducing abuse of the California Environmental Quality Act, increasing workforce skills, encouraging innovation, making investment capital accessible to businesses, financing public infrastructure, and overhauling the water system.
All of these issues have been and continue to be controversial. The summit demonstrated, however, that civil conversations can reveal solutions acceptable to both sides – and that even more civil discussion is needed to resolve the largest conflicts.
The full Action Plan, which was released on July 2, can be found here. It recommends 47 steps (one of which was just checked off the list when the federal government announced the opening of a California-based patent office in San Jose).
So now what happens?
As Pete Weber, co-chair of the Action Team on Water Infrastructure, put it: "We are not filing this report and going away. We are committed to working on these implementation steps and getting this economy going again. It is hard work, but hundreds of us are willing to put in the time which we believe will inspire our elected officials to start taking the necessary steps to restore California's leadership in the world economy."
California's diversity includes its economic regions and drivers. What's important to Fresno may or may not be important to San Diego, or the Inland Empire. This process respects that. But regional leaders also understand that to improve regional economies, they need the attention and support of state officials.
Regardless of what we believe personally, California has earned a reputation as a costly place to do business. The regulatory structure is complicated and the process governing permits is adversarial. Doing business in California is viewed by some government agencies as a privilege rather than a vital component to individual self-sufficiency, social growth and fiscal stability for public programs.
Californians' concern with the economy tracks with their declining confidence in state-elected officials to address the important issues.
The California Economic Summit and its Action Plan, driven by an informed and active group of bipartisan regional champions, give elected officials pragmatic steps they can do to remedy both of these problems.
The Summit also documented something that California Forward and its partners at the California Stewardship Network know to be true: If given a chance, interest group leaders are willing to talk through issues that are important to them as a means of finding pragmatic solutions to big problems.
George Schultz, one of the Summit's co-chairs, began the event by reading the slogan on a necktie given to him by Ronald Reagan: "Democracy is not a spectator sport."
Neither is fixing California's economy. Change will require champions. You can enlist at www.caeconomy.org.


The Mardi Himal trek is a relatively new route located in the Annapurna region. It was "officially" opened in 2012 and is now fast attracting a large number of trekkers. A richly diverse trek it takes one through beautiful Rhododendron forests to rocky mountain terrain and several base camps which may have snow depending on the time of year.
Mardi Himal (5587 m) is located to the east of the Annapurna Base Camp virtually under the spectacular Machhapuchhre (Fishtail 6993 m). Annapurna South (7219 m) and Hiunchuli (6441 m) mountains. The trek goes through stone built villages and wonderful rhododendron forests that come to bloom in many different colors in the spring. The forest trail continues to 3,300 m and then becomes a rugged mountain setting with spectacular views of Mardi Himal, Machhapuchhre and Annapurna South . At Low Camp (2990 m), the best views of Machhapuchhre is seen. The High Camp (3580m) offers spectacular views overlooking the Annapurna Base camp. Further from ridge line of View point, one can reach the Mardi Himal Base camp where there are mesmerizing views overlooking all of the Annapurna range.
The Mardi Himal trek, though short and at a relaxed pace, provides spectacular mountain views and great trekking experience. However, there are chances of suffering from altitude sickness if one ascends too fast. The best time to trek in this region is March, April, May and from October and November.
All about the MARDI HIMAL TREK (3rd March -11th March 2019).

Bhojan Griha is located in Dilli Bazar very close to Durbar Marg (The Kings Way) is an authentic Nepali Restaurant. It is an old Nepali Building which is more than 100 years old; it is historical & artistic building of a former royal priest. It has been restored and converted into a multi-storied restaurant tastefully decorated in local decor. Traditional Nepali hospitality greets you on arrival and guarantees a unique and memorable evening including a one hour Nepali folk dance program. This is the first Nepali restaurant of its kind in Nepal. (Note : it is a sit down – floor seating dinner and so comfortable attire is recommended. Also, one needs to take off shoes so something easy to take off / put on is recommended).
After breakfast, TRANSFER TO THE AIRPORT FOR THE 30 MINUTE FLIGHT TO Pokhara. Upon arrival, met by trek guide and vehicle and drive 1 hour to Khande, the trek start point and also stop for a lunch.
Upon arrival, met by the Trek Team and porters. A brief introduction to the team and after sorting out the gears and porter loads, set out on the 3 – 4 hour trek to Australian Camp.
The trek begins on flat and plain trail for about 15 to 20 minutes passing through mixed forest before it gradually starts to make a steep ascent that takes about an hour. Continue on a gentle walk and then climb up on a rocky trail with many stones stairs with views of Kande Village and highway until reaching the Australian Camp one can enjoy the great views of the western Himalayas.
After breakfast, we make a short descent and then climb to Pothana, an array of Tea houses / Lodges at 1890m. Then set out immediately by ascending to Pitam Deurali in 1 ½ hours through lush forested trail. From here, leave the main Annapurna trail and in spring, this area is dotted with rhododendrons and the common ones are the Red variety known as "Lali Gurans", and is the national flower of Nepal. The walk through the forests is very quiet and peaceful and in spring one can see a variety of lowers in bloom. Climb steeply through a densely forest trail and arrive at a wide open clearing with a cluster of houses / tea houses that makes up the Forest Camp or also locally known as Kokar. Later, after being comfortably settled into our lodgings, we can take rest and explore the area.
After breakfast today we continue towards "Low camp" once again through dense forests and larger concentration of Rhododendron trees, admiring Nepal's rich biodiversity. Later the tree line changes from dense forest into larger slightly shorter well-spaced out trees, shrubs, mosses/ lichen and other types of vegetation before we reach the "Low Camp". From here, the fantastic view of Mt. Machapuchhre (Mt. Fishtail) up the valley is mesmerizing.
Trek along the ridge above the tree line and the area consists of mainly shrubs with isolated rhododendron bushes along the trail. It is dominated by views of Annapurna South, Mardi Himal and Machhapucchhare (Fish Tail) to the north and a deep valley to the east as well as of the Annapurna Base Camp far down below to the west.
If lucky, we might even come across "Daphne pheasant" – The national bird of Nepal. We ascend further and can see the winding trail leading up to the high camp, which the final destination of the day. As one ascends higher there are loose rocks along rocky terrain so one needs to step carefully.
The High Camp is an open pasture with 3 lodges. Upon arrival, we make our own campsite and are allocated the tents.
The rest of the day is FREE to enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery.
After an early breakfast, set out on our trek to the upper viewpoint. The impressive mountainous view from High Camp gets slowly replaced by the rocky tundra along the ridge ahead. Since this is a very new trekking route, the paths are not well defined so is advisable to keep together or in sight of your guide or trekking partner. Ascend and descend, and sometimes on a narrow trail. It's fun but the sun's heat becomes quite dehydrating so everyone needs to "sip, Sip Sip" to keep hydrated. Our trail passes through pastures and we hike along another narrow ridge before reaching the Upper Viewpoint.
The view of the Himalayan vista from here of Mardi Himal (5587m), Annapurna I (8091m), Annapurna south (7219m), Hiunchuli (6441m), Baraha Shikhar (Mt. Fang) (7647m), Tent Peak (5695m), Singhachuli (6501m), Machapuchhre (6993m) and others is mesmerizing (weather permitting).
After the visit, descend to the High Camp for a late lunch.
After lunch and a brief rest, retrace the trek route to Badal Danda and then on to Middle Camp located amidst a clump of Rhododendron forests.
Upon arrival, enjoy a cup oi tea and while the vehicles are being arranged. Later, we load our bags in local jeeps and then drive 2 hour on the new built graveled road all the way to Henja. Here we meet up with the main Baglung highway and continue on to Pokhara which is reached in about 45 minutes. On arrival at Pokhara, check into the Hotel.
Pokhara is a vacationer's paradise with its crystal clear lakes great mountain views. It is also very popular now for Paragliding and for the longest Zip line.
13:00 Hrs : Transfer and we have enough time to have an early lunch and then transferred to the airport for the 30 minute flight to Kathmandu.

Junior Colby Gordon takes the pledge to not drive under the influence during prom night.
The week of March 25, prior to prom, Warriors said "No" to drinking and driving, taking a stand against getting behind the wheel while intoxicated.
Jupiter High students signed pledges throughout the week, saying they would not drink and drive prom night. SGA provided a table in the atrium where the students could sign a pledge between 7 and 7:30 a.m.
On March 26, the "grim reaper", the grim reaper is a person who wears a black hooded robe and has an axe, gave away 30 passes to randomly selected juniors to join seniors for the guest speaker Cara Filler on March 27.
Filler spoke about the accidents that can happen on prom night when driving while distracted or under the influence. She also spoke about a tragedy that happened when she was a teenager, where she lost her twin sister in a fatal car crash.
As she spoke to Jupiter High seniors and selected juniors, Filler gave tips, or the "three P's," to get out of the car if they feel the person driving should not be behind the wheel.
The "Three P's" were to act as like you're going to puke, going to pee your pants or for girls, going to get your period.
Throughout the week, public service announcements aired on the morning announcements, and tombstones posters with drunk driving statistics posted around the school.
On March 29, the final day of Care Week, volunteers placed flyers on cars in the Daniels Way and gym parking lots to remind students to not drink and drive on prom night, which was occurring later that day at 8 p.m. at the Wyndham Grand Hotel in Harbourside Place.
Each year, SGA puts in countless hours to plan and organize Care Week. However, it is a powerful way to raise awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving.
"It takes a minimum of a month to organize care week because we have to prep everything, contact guest speakers and car shops around town to have them covered for the week of. Also, after we have all of our dates set and confirmed we then go into planning and making the pledges [for] people to sign, the gift for the guest speaker and then publicity we post around school," Campbell said.

Wanted to give you a little update on how our garden is doing since we made this trellis back in the spring.
Can't believe how big our tomatoes, lemon cucumber, and pepper have grown! We have the drip system on the ground which really helped this year. It's cut down a lot on pests in the garden like white flies. Happy to report no bugs have been seen this year except the good kind like butterflies and bees.
Here's a front view when we first made the trellis and had just a few lettuce heads planted.
In the mix of tomatoes, lemon cucumber, and peppers we also have carrots and beets growing in the ground. To the far left we have pumpkins, cilantro, and chives growing. We translated our rosemary to the front hill.
Here was our little container pot with a few basil plants in the spring. We knew they'd do well here since this spot gets lots of sunlight.
Here are the basil plants as of today. It's been wonderful having fresh basil to put in our Italian food.
How is your garden growing? Have you gotten lots of tomatoes yet? Happy Growing.

Конюга (Aethia) — рід невеликих (85-300 г) птахів родини алькових, ендеміків північних частин Тихого океану, Берингового моря і моря Охотських.

Систематика та еволюція
Рід конюга зустрічається лише на півночі Тихого океану та прилеглих водах, переважно це регіон Берингового моря. Молекулярні дослідження взаємовідносин між конюгами ще не проводились, однак досліджено, що рід конюги має зв'язок із видом Ptychoramphus aleuticus з одного боку і з родом  Fratercula, яких включає в себе тупиків і тупиків-носороків з іншого боку.

Термін рід конюга не використовувався широко до 1960-х років. Спочатку конюг відносили до роду гагарок, але згодом рознесли по родах Simorhynchus, Phaleris and Cyclorhynchus.

Викопні залишки
Перший викопний птах, який безперечно був з родини алькових датується середнім міоценом (15 мільйонів років тому). Перший вид з роду конюг датується пізнім міоценом (8-13 мільйонів років тому), чотири сучасних види ймовірно швидко розселилися приблизно 5 мільйонів років тому.

Види
Існує чотири види конюг:
 Конюга-крихітка (Aethia pusilla)
 Конюга велика (Aethia cristatella)
 Конюга мала (Aethia pygmaea)
 Конюга білочерева (Aethia psittacula)

Поширення та чисельність

Чисельність
Рахувати популяцію конюг складно, оскільки їхні гнізда заховані глибоко в ущелинах. Але науковці мають приблизну кількість птахів кожного виду:
 Конюга-крихітка: 20 000 000+
 Конюга мала: 100 000—250 000
 Конюга велика: 5 000 000 — 10 000 000
 Конюга білочерева: 1 000 000 — 2 000 000

Шлюбний сезон
Конюги є ендеміками північного Тихого океану і моря Охотських, також є чисельні колонії в Азії на Курильських і Командорських островах, в прибережних зонах Камчатського і Чукотського півостровів. У Північній Америці, великі колонії спостерігаються від Алеутських островів до Аляскинської затоки і на північ до островів Берингового моря.

Поширення в негніздовий сезон
Про зимове поширення конюг відомо мало. Малі конюги, схоже, проводять час недалеко від своїх літніх колоній, тому часто спостерігаються на Алеутських островах. Конюги з півночі Берингового моря мусять мігнувати далі на південь, оскільки їхні колонії взимку оточені паковими льодами.

Розмноження

Конюги зазвичай дуже соціальні та гніздяться у щільних колоніях. Кожен вид має прикраси з довгого пір'я на голові. Великі та малі конюги виділяють спеціальний мандариновий запах в шлюбний період. Пір'я і запах відіграють роль у сексуальному відборі, та розпізнаванні видів. Однак потребують подальшого дослідження.

Всі конюги відкладають одне яйце в природній ущелині й насиджують його 25-36 днів. Своє напіввиводкове пташеня батьки вигодовуватимуть наступні 25-35 днів. Статева зрілість у конюг наступає на 3-5 році. Розмір колонії варіюється від 100 особин до 1 мільйону. Великі конюги і конюги-крихітки схильні гніздитися в з більшою щільністю, ніж білочереві та малі конюги.

Живлення
Конюги переважно живляться планктом: їдять веслоногих раків, криль та інших безхребетних, таких як медузи і реброплави. Зимовий раціон птахів ще не вивчений.

Загрози
Конюги страждають від інвазивних видів, таких як песець (Vulpes lagopus), пацюк сірий (Rattus norvegicus).

Anotace knihy " František Kupka from the Jan and Meda Mládek collection, autor Mladkova, Meda - Jancar, Ivan - Jirmusova, Hana - Sonnberger, Gerwald - Koncinska, Claudine - Sekera, Jan"
The collection encompasses the artist´s lifelong production, starting with early studies and paintings dating from the 1890s, through sketches from the turn of the century, and expressive figure drawings from the period immediately preceding the stage during which Kupka embraced abstraction.
The collection also comprises various studies for book illustrations (e.g.,for The Song of Songs), and designs of decorative carpet patterns. Particularly fine items include a watercolor study for Bathing Woman (1906), or study for Gigolettes (1908 - 1909). Of key importance for Kupka's artistic development are purely abstract studies for Newton's Circles (1911 - 1912), and for the painting, Around a Point (1911 - 1930).

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in your kadai or wok on medium heat.
Blitz the bread to create breadcrumbs and finely chop the onion and 2 cloves of garlic.
In a large bowl, mix the pork and beef mince (I mix with my hands).
Add the Grana Padano/parmesan cheese, the chopped garlic, breadcrumbs and half of the chopped onion.
Add 1 egg to the bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix the mixture again.
You should feel it starting to come together now, this is when you can start creating the meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, and fry the meatballs in two batches. Turn for 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
Grab a baking tray and carefully place the meatballs on to here and then fry the second batch.
Heat the oven at around 180º whilst you're frying the second batch of meatballs.
Once all of the meatballs are on the baking tray, place in the oven for approximately 20 minutes to cook through.
Whilst the meatballs are cooking, you can start the fresh tomato passata.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan, and add the remainder of chopped onion, the punnet of plum tomatoes, garlic, oregano and cook down for 5-10 minutes.
The tomatoes should start softening now, I actually gently crush mine with a potato masher to avoid harsh lumps.
Add the tin of chopped tomatoes and sugar. Cook for a further 5 minutes.
Season the sauce with a little salt and pepper and some chopped fresh basil (to your own taste).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and carefully add to the tomato sauce.
Carefully stir in the meatballs and leave on a low heat.
Bring some water to the boil and add the spaghetti, again, cooking the pasta to your preferred taste. I usually cook it for around 15 minutes – not too soggy!
In a large bowl measure out the butter and both sugars, then cream together till they resemble the first picture below.
Beat in the egg – at this point it will look like the mixture has split but don't panic it will come back with enough mixing.
Add the vanilla extract and mix this in too.
In a separate bowl measure out the flour, baking powder and the salt.
In small batches sieve the dry ingredients into the mix and beat and until all the dry mix is combined.
Do the above until there is no dry mixture left.
Spoon out onto the greased baking trays (I find a tablespoon measure works best here) but leave some space as the cookies will spread out when they bake.
Once cooled, enjoy with a cup of tea!
Grease the baking tin and line with greaseproof paper.
Peel Apples and chop to roughly 1 cm pieces.
Stir in Apple ensuring it is evenly distributed in mix.
Sprinkle some Demerara Sugar on the top.
Cook for 45 – 50 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven and leave to cool for 5 – 10 minutes.
Transfer to cooling rack or plate.
Leave to cool further, or carefully slice to enjoy warm.
Cut your chicken into reasonable chunks and fry in a pan. You want there to be plenty of filling under that puff. Season your chicken to taste and stir occasionally.
Cut your bacon into small rashers and fry in a pan. Season to taste, if you fancy it!
Wash and cut your leek. I prefer to have fairly big chunks, but if you prefer, cut into small cubes. Once cut, bring to a simmer in a saucepan.
Make your white sauce. Depending on your packet, will depend on how much milk you'll need. Just stir in your milk and packet mix on a low heat until thick in consistency.
Onceyour sauce is thick, chicken is brown, bacon crispy and leeks are soft, combine all in a bowl, making sure the sauce covers all your filling.
Pourinto a shallow dish and level across. Place your puff pastry on top and press on the edges of your dish. Make sure it is sealed and pierce two holes in the top. Your pastry will puff so don't worry if it droops a little. Egg wash to give it a golden bake.
Grate your peeled potatoes, onions and cheese into a bowl. Mix together with a spoon.
Place a frying pan on a high heat and splash in some oil.
Bind all together in a bowl with one egg. Season to taste and start creating small parcels in your hands. Watch out, this will get messy!
Put your parcels straight into the pan. Turn occasionally until lightly brown on both sides.
Oncebrown, be ready to plate with your puff pastry pie!
Sieve flour into bowl and rub in margarine.
Add sugar, salt and fruit and mix.
Add milk or flour if needed.
Knead and roll to 1/2 inch thickness.
Cut with pastry cutter (2 inches thickness).
Cook on pre-heated lightly greased griddle pan over slow heat until golden and brown on both sides (approximately 3 minutes per side).

CD Projekt Drops News About The Witcher 2 for the Xbox 360
by Garv on January 27, 2012 at 11:28 pm
Posted In: News, Xbox 360
We've been waiting for a while to get our hands on some new info from CD Projekt about their upcoming Xbox 360 port of The Witcher 2. The game will be hitting the 360 on April 17, 2012 and will be featuring new content and UI changes to accommodate the control scheme of the 360.
Countless Xbox 360® role-playing fans came an important step closer to the reality of playing one of the most lauded role-playing games in history today, as CD Projekt RED confirmed the street date for The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings Enhanced Edition. At its press conference today in Warsaw, Poland, CD Projekt RED announced that two different retail versions of the Xbox 360 adaptation of its award-winning PC RPG, The Witcher 2, will hit store shelves on April 17th 2012.
At the event, members of the CD Projekt RED development team presented the game and the many new features that have been added to create the Xbox 360 enhanced edition.
"The Xbox 360 version is a complete adaptation of the game to the new platform, we've rewritten the code so it feels native to the console. This latest version of The Witcher 2 has been expanded in many ways, and some experts believe it to be one of the best-looking games ever to make it to consoles," said Adam Badowski, head of CD Projekt RED studio.
During the conference, the studio also presented the brand new CGI game intro, directed by BAFTA winner and Oscar nominee Tomasz Baginski, followed by the announcement that the Xbox 360 version will include a large number of new never-before-seen cinematics. The intro is available on www.gametrailers.com
Gameplay has been extended through the addition of new quests and locations, while The Witcher 2's intriguing plot becomes even more complex with the introduction of major new NPCs who intensify the struggle for power in the Northern Kingdoms.
"PC users who already own the game will be happy to learn that they will be able to download all the added content free of charge. At the same time, the Xbox 360 version will incorporate all DLCs and upgrades made available thus far for the game's original platform (including the 'Arena' arcade mode and Tutorial that were part of the latest and richest PC version)" added Badowski.
Other enhancements include the game's user interface, which has been revamped to deliver better control on the Xbox 360, while new targeting, camera and control systems will give players full control of the witcher during the game's dynamic and tactically rich combat sequences.

It occured to me earlier this evening that I haven't felt the drive to write lately. I want to have some grand excuse for this but, when it comes down to it, all the little things that have happened recently don't add up to a good enough reason for my slacking off. That is, of course, until I was booted a few times from SSF4 with the ForceDisconnect guys and decided to give up and find something else to play. I cycled through my XBLIG and XBLA games and realized something.
I seriously don't know what I like to play anymore.
That sounds weird coming from someone who can't find a memory earlier than ones involving an Atari 2600 and long weekends playing Megamania with his uncles and aunt, so let me explain. When I boot up my 360, usually it's to try out the latest XBLIG demos or to review something for a site. Doing this non-stop for the last seven months has caused my head to think that this is what my 360, and my free time for that matter, is used for. Sure, I played other games, but in the back of my mind I could always hear myself thinking, "don't you have a game to finish and review?" Or, "you should be writing," which is something that caused me to sit down and start typing away right now. And something that takes quite a bit of the enjoyment out of what I do.
I'm not entirely sure what to do about this. I recently told the admin of XBLARatings.com and Lomyn from ForceDisconnect that I'm not going to post anything regularly on those two sites anymore in an effort to concentrate on both this blog and life outside of staring at my computer or TV, but even though I know that it was the right thing to do I'm not entirely sure the writing overkill was the main problem. Do I take a break from this one as well? What would that accomplish? I'm honestly afraid I wouldn't start my writing back up again.
It bums me out a bit that the first thing I've typed since Tuesday is this. I think the proper thing to do here is just throw myself into some writing and make sure it's about something I enjoy or am passionate about. I need to find something to reignite that spark, and throwing 600+ words up about an indie game I may not ever play again after its review isn't going to do it.
My apologies for the somewhat emo blog post, and thanks to whoever read this.
everyone goes through these times. They can end up being very productive, or they can just be more confusing. The art of seeing yourself objectively and looking at all the stuff you do, or want to do and prioritizing is a difficult skil to try and use. I also believe noone ever masters it.
Taking some down time however is not a bad thing. Wallow in your confusion and out of it something will occur. Hopefully something that will get you writing again (cos i am selfish and enjoy what ya write). But maybe it will be a completely new direction.
As for writing.. Maybe you just need to reveiw something more meaty than the usual Indie fair? Or maybe you need to try and do more with less.


Britain's Health and Social Care Secretary, Matt Hancock, has suggested that employers should provide free fruit to their staff. This is one of the new measures that make up an initiative to encourage employers to "help improve the health of their staff and the nation".
He also wants companies to learn some lessons from the military – injured soldiers have an 85% return to work rate after injury, whereas for civilians it's just 35%.
This discrepancy is likely for many complex reasons, but the strategy is going to begin with loans to buy bicycles to encourage cycling to work, and making counselling services readily available to employees. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Some companies offer these things to their staff already.
Ensuring your employees are as physically and mentally healthy as possible obviously has myriad benefits for the individuals, but also for your company as a whole. Sickness costs British businesses £77 billion per year in lost productivity. And this is not just for days off sick – it also includes "underperformance in the office as a result of ill-health.". I'm sure we've all had days like that when we decide to come to work despite feeling awful and just can't concentrate properly or get much done.
Encourage your employees to get a flu jab. You could do this by subsidising the cost, or even arranging an onsite vaccination day at work. A report revealed that "up to £28,902,536 in sick day costs could have been saved by the flu vaccination" in 2017, so the initial outlay of money would likely pay off in the long run.
It's one thing to have a cycle to work scheme, but what do they do when they get to work? Make sure you have bike racks in your carpark and showers so that people can freshen up when they arrive. If you don't provide these amenities then it's likely that people won't want the hassle of cycling in.
Implement an HR software system that both management and staff can access to record absences, sickness information, accidents and grievances. These can all indicate employee welfare, as not only physical illness and injury impacts on productivity – if a person raises (or even regularly raises) grievances, this is a red flag and may correlate with lower productivity and time off of work.
Regularly survey employees to get their feedback on their experiences at work. It's a useful way of monitoring morale and the general mental health of your workforce.
Offer workshops on managing stress, time management and prioritising a health work-life balance.
Introduce the option of standing desks to reduce the amount of time your employees spend sitting every day. The Lancet conducted a study on "The economic burden of physical inactivity: a global analysis of major non-communicable diseases" and this indicated that sitting too much cost the world $67.5 billion in 2013. So being less sedentary is not just good for every one of us, but it will also pay dividends to your business!
The next few months present the peak time for people to be unwell, as flu and other winter bugs are rife. It's not too late even now to put measures into place to make the knock on effects on your staff and your business as minimal as possible. There's no need to wait until Matt Hancock's new initiative to launch to start improving the health of your employees.


The study authors included a number of faculty researchers in the Division of Hematology-Oncology, Department of Medicine, at Moores Cancer Center, including Razelle Kurzrock, MD, Chief, Division of Hematology-Oncology; Murray Professor of Medicine; Senior Deputy Director, Clinical Science; and Director, Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy & Clinical Trials Office.
The other Hematology-Oncology investigators from UC San Diego included Drs. T. Fanta, Martina de Siena, Gregory Heestand, and Olivier Herismendy.


Five Radnor High School students were honored at the 2019 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards Ceremony at The School District of Philadelphia Main Office on March 30.
Two students were Gold Awardees, the competition's highest award: juniors Lindsay Kent (Flash Fiction) and Annabel Zhao (Poetry). Sophomore Julia Foley (Science Fiction/Fantasy), junior Owen Leonard (Poetry), and sophomore Carter Young (Poetry) earned Honorable Mentions. Lindsay was also selected as a one of only five American Voices nominees from the region, which includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.
Each year, the Philadelphia Writing Project serves as the local affiliate for the National Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. This year, a total of 635 students submitted 1,131 written pieces for consideration.
The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards are the nation's longest-running and most prestigious recognition program for creative teens in grades 7–12. The Philadelphia awards ceremony was hosted by the Philadelphia Writing Project and the Philadelphia Arts and Education Partnership.


Once a small farming community, Hanford and the surrounding area of the Tri Cities (made up of the three cities of Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco, WA) was transformed during the Second World War when it became the site of the Manhattan Project's plutonium production facility. The Hanford nuclear complex continued to contribute to national defense by producing plutonium throughout the Cold War and formed a cornerstone of the local economy, even as the environmental cost built up throughout the region. In recent years, Hanford has been the site of an extensive clean-up effort undertaken by the U.S. Department of Energy in agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Washington State Department of Ecology.
This conference will focus on the history of the Hanford nuclear production facilities and the site's impact on the Tri Cities area. We expect papers on such topics as: the environmental legacies of nuclear materials production; the politics of science, national security, and the state; atomic diplomacy and the Cold War; memory and public history at atomic sites (including the new Manhattan Project National Historical Park, one location of which is at the conference site); and the Manhattan Project in popular culture. The conference will also mark the opening of the Hanford History Project archives to in-person researchers, making available the U.S. DOE "Hanford Collection," which includes primary documents, photos, films, and digital materials.
We will also have several events open to the public, including a reception Wednesday evening, a banquet Friday evening, and a Saturday evening benefit screening of the 2016 documentary Command and Control.
Please join us for a unique opportunity to discuss history where it was made!
During the registration process, attendees were asked to "share three words that come to mind when you think of the Manhattan Project." This is the results displayed in a Wordle.

Vacation rental startup Vacasa valued at $1B after new funding
Startup also has a brokerage arm to facilitate vacation home sales

On the heels of buying its biggest competitor, vacation rental startup Vacasa has raised $319 million, valuing the company north of $1 billion.
The strategic round was led by Silicon Valley private equity firm Silver Lake, and brings Vacasa's total funding to more than $500 million, the company announced Tuesday. Prior investors Riverwood Capital, Level Equity and NewsSpring also participated in the round.
In an increasingly crowded field of short-term rental companies, Vacasa currently manages 23,000 homes on behalf of properties. The Portland, Oregon-based company was founded in 2009 and handles bookings, housekeeping and customer service for homeowners. Vacasa charges between 20 percent and 40 percent commission per rental.

Last week, Vacasa purchased Wyndham Vacation Rentals, with 9,000 properties, for $156 million in cash and $10 million in equity.
Vacasa said the latest funding will be used to enhance its tech platform, accelerate an expansion to new markets and develop new offerings. Last year, the company launched Vacasa Real Estate, a network of sales agents that broker vacation home deals. Vacasa currently has about 240 agents and partners with 2,000 more, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"The opportunity that lies ahead of us is enormous, on both the property management and real estate side of the business," CEO Eric Breon said in a statement. "We're seeing an increased number of buyers looking to purchase vacation homes as an investment, with the intent to rent the property. We're uniquely positioned to assist our homeowners through the entire lifecycle of their vacation home."
Although Vacasa didn't disclose its annual revenue, the statement indicated its earnings have grown by a multiple of seven over the last four years. The company currently employs 5,000. "It is exceptionally rare to see this type of growth, and rarer still at this scale," Ben Levin, founder of Level Equity, said in a statement.
The financing comes amid an uptick in interest in the short-term rental sector. Over the past year, Lyric raised $80 million and Sonder raised $210 million. Marriott also plans to launch a home rental business.
