Port Noarlunga is a suburb in the City of Onkaparinga, South Australia. It is a small sea-side suburb, with a population of 2,918 (2016 census), about  to the south of the Adelaide city centre and was originally created as a sea port. This area is now popular as a holiday destination or for permanent residents wishing to commute to Adelaide or work locally. There is a jetty that connects to a  long natural reef that is exposed at low tide.  The beach is large and very long and has reasonable surfing in the South Port area whose name is taken from its location - "South of the Port".

It is known as Tainbarang or Tainbarilla by the traditional owners, the Kaurna people, and is of significance as being the site of a freshwater spring said to be created by the tears of Tjilbruke, the creator being. A reserve known as the Tutu Wirra Reserve, on Witton Bluff, is the location of the stone cairn commemorating the second spring created by Tjilbruke on his journey down the coast.

The suburb is bounded to the south by the Onkaparinga River, including a tidal estuary. It is bounded to the west by the coastline with Gulf St Vincent, by Christies Beach to the north and by Noarlunga Centre and Noarlunga Downs to the east.

History
Before the British colonisation of South Australia, this area, along with most of the Adelaide plains area and down the western side of the Fleurieu Peninsula, was inhabited by the Kaurna people. There is a significant site associated with the Kaurna Dreaming of the creator ancestor Tjilbruke in the area.

The first record of the area was provided by Captain Collet Barker who explored the Onkaparinga River on 15 April 1831 in his search for a Gulf outlet from Lake Alexandrina. In early 1837, while camped by the Sturt River near Marion, South Australia's only two horses slipped their tether ropes during the night and the overseer of stock, C.W. Stuart led an expedition to recover them. Taking a botanist to record the plants encountered, the expedition searched much of present-day Noarlunga before finding the horses near the Onkaparinga River. The men being on foot were however, unable to capture them. In June 1837, Colonel William Light led an overland expedition to arrest whalers who had been abducting native women at Encounter Bay,  south of Adelaide. Cresting Tapleys Hill they named the valley Morphett Vale after expedition member John Morphett. They reached the southern end of the Mount Lofty Ranges before impenetrable scrub forced them to return to Adelaide. The following year, John McLaren of the Survey Dept. divided the area south of Adelaide into three districts (B.C and D) based on the reports made by the Stuart and Light expeditions. B and C districts, the present Noarlunga District, was opened to public selection in February 1839 and by 1841 the population was estimated to be about 150.

A shore-based bay whaling station was established near the mouth of the Onkaparinga River by George Heppenstall in 1841. The operation consisted of 25 men and two boats. They also had a small punt which was used as a cutting-in platform. Heppenstall built a house nearby which he later called "Whaleview." It is reputed to be the first permanent structure in the area. The fishery ceased operation in 1843.

The government town of Port Noarlunga was surveyed and offered for sale on 14 April 1859.

The township was originally settled as a port for the produce from the proposed market town of Noarlunga a few kilometres upstream.  The Onkaparinga River mouth proved unsuitable to coastal ketches, so produce was barged down river to the sandhills and then taken by horse drawn rail trucks to the jetty.  The current jetty was constructed in 1921 and is the second jetty to have been constructed at Port Noarlunga. The original jetty, 30 metres south of the current jetty, was constructed in 1855, but was destroyed in several severe storms in the early 1900s.

In the early 20th century Port Noarlunga was a popular coastal holiday destination, with the beach proving an attraction with its natural beauty and in summer amusement fairs were run, as well as row boating on the river estuary. Port Noarlunga Post Office opened around November 1909.

With the gradual incursion of urban sprawl, and in particular immigration-fuelled expansion in the 1960s and 1970s, the township eventually became an outer suburb of Adelaide.  The South Australian Housing Trust in particular developed housing in the nearby areas of Christies Beach and O'Sullivan Beach and with the extension of the metropolitan rail line to adjacent Noarlunga Centre in 1978 the township of Port Noarlunga had largely lost its attraction as a holiday destination.

Significant sites
There is a stone cairn with commemorative plaque in the Tutu Wirra Reserve to mark a place near the second freshwater spring created by Kaurna ancestor hero Tjilbruke in his journey down the coast.

State heritage places
The following places within Port Noarlunga are listed as "state heritage places" on the South Australian Heritage Register:
Perry Homestead, 80 Murray Road.
Dwelling and outbuildings, 53 Old Honeypot Road.
Port Noarlunga Hotel, 29 Saltfleet Street.

Attractions

Beach and jetty
Port Noarlunga beach is popular with tourists and residents with safe swimming areas patrolled by two surf life saving clubs. It features in the 2012 book 101 Best Australian Beaches by Andy Short and Brad Farmer.

The first jetty at Port Noarlunga was constructed for coastal trade. Work commenced in 1854 and on its completion the following year it was known as Port Onkaparinga. The first jetty had fallen into disrepair by the turn of the 20th century. Interest was expressed in repairing or replacing the jetty during the 1910s, but work did not commence until the conclusion of World War I due to difficulties obtaining government funding. Plans were made and tenders were called in October 1918. At its official opening in December 1921 it stood 1,250 feet in length and had been constructed at a cost of £6000-7000.

The present timber jetty extends from the shore over the beach and out towards the reef, which forms a natural breakwater. It is illuminated at night and features three staircases, one that leads down to the beach, and two that provide access to the water to swimmers, snorkelers and divers. It is also accessible to wheelchairs and scooters.

In November 2018, the stairs at the reef end of the jetty were dislodged from the main structure by strong winds and wave energy during a storm. They were replaced with a sturdier modern construction featuring multiple platforms in 2020.

The remains of the old jetty's piles lie 30 metres to the south of the existing jetty and are occasionally exposed following storms.

Township
There is also a small main street (Gawler Street) that serves visitors and locals in this beach area. It has several cafes, a pub, a fish and chip shop, a surf shop and several other businesses providing services to the locals. The old "Institute" building, built in 1924, is now the community centre.

Port Noarlunga Reef
Port Noarlunga Reef is regarded as one of South Australia's best snorkeling sites and is popular with underwater photographers. It is a narrow reef about  offshore and about  long and was formed from a consolidated Pleistocene sand dune. The reef runs parallel to shore and has two sections, with the area separating them called The Gap.  It is a popular scuba diving and snorkelling location, with more than 200 marine plant species and over 70 fish species. There is a self-guided diving trail which was established in 1994, which is marked with a series of 12 glass plaques. The plaques indicate aspects of the reef ecosystem relevant to their location.

Port Noarlunga Reef Aquatic Reserve

The Port Noarlunga Reef Aquatic Reserve is one of six aquatic reserves proclaimed in South Australia in 1971 with it being established specifically to protect the reef life and the adjacent river estuary. The boundaries of the reserve were extended to the north in 1993 to include an adjacent limestone reef known as Horseshoe Reef at Christies Beach.  As of 2007, it extends along the coastline from Onkaparinga Head at Port Noarlunga South in the south to Gulfview Road at Christies Beach in the north and includes the Onkaparinga River up until the Main South Road at Old Noarlunga.  The reserve covers an area of .  Fishing activity is limited to the use of rod and handline while the use of 'hand nets for the taking of shrimps for bait only' is permitted in estuary and the Onkaparinga River.  No fishing is permitted within  of Horseshoe and Port Noarlunga Reefs and can only be carried out from the jetty and the beach at Port Noarlunga.

Port Noarlunga tyre reef & shipwrecks
Three artificial reefs lie in close proximity to each other, offshore from Port Noarlunga, and can be explored by divers. The Port Noarlunga Tyre Reef is a man-made construction of tyre pyramids in 20 metres of water. Nearby lie the H. A. Lumb (a steel tug) and the MV Seawolf (a former fishing boat). The H. A. Lumb was scuttled by the Dive Industry Association in 1994 and the MV Seawolf was scuttled by the Seawolves dive club in 2002 after fundraising efforts. The H.A. Lumb lies in 20 metres of water 2.5 km west of the Port Noarlunga jetty, with the MV Seawolf is located slightly to the south east of her. All three sites can be accessed during a single dive.

Port Noarlunga Aquatic Centre
Since 1976 the Port Noarlunga Aquatic Centre has operated classes for primary school children from throughout the state.  The program runs in the first and last school terms each year and provides the opportunity to try waveskiing, canoeing, fishing, snorkelling, sailing, swimming and sailboarding.  About 15,000 students have access to this program each year.

Protected area status
Port Noarlunga includes parts of the following protected areas.  The Encounter Marine Park and the Port Noarlunga Reef Aquatic Reserve both occupy land within the intertidal zone of the suburb along the coastline with Gulf St Vincent and the Onkaparinga River.  The Encounter Marine Park also occupies the undeveloped area in the south of the suburb adjoining the mouth of the Onkaparinga River.

This book was recommended to me by a passer by on the train. He saw me reading Stephen King's The Gunslinger. It took a while but I'm so glad I took up the recommendation.
The Passage is a fantastic story, masterfully told. After Hideo Yokoyama's Six Four, it's a change in genre but both excellent long reads by great writers.
Just finished reading SIX FOUR by Hideo Yokoyama – a police procedural crime novel set in Japan. A slow burn masterpiece. Outstanding! I will unreservedly recommend this book to anyone. It is one of the best novels I have ever read – I place it in my Top 5.


5/10/2015—Happy Mother's Day to all. A secular holiday if ever there was one.
One oddity is the sudden love affair between conservative Christians and the First Amendment. Some years ago, when a crucifix was placed in a jar of urine, some of the same people were calling for an end to government funding for the arts. Now, I realize that ending funding and shooting people are quite different. And even then, no one thought the artist could be put in jail. I only mean that it is not inherently good to make fun of peoples' religious beliefs. Doing so is not something admirable.
But this leads me to the second odd reaction—or rather silence. This is one of those "I don't agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." It is absolutely true that if there are people willing to kill others whose speech offends them, that speech absolutely must go forward, whether or not the speech is offensive. Otherwise, the criminals will decide what can be spoken in this society and we are no longer free.
Where are my fellow first amendment fundamentalists on the left? I almost want to send money to the group that sponsors these cartoon contests. And I certainly want my tax money spent defending them. They are willing to risk their lives for the sake of speech. How many of us are willing to do that?
And as for the fact that they are anti-Muslim—well at the moment, the only point they are making is that some Muslims believe that Islam is inconsistent with free speech. I believe the shootings make their point about that quite well.

Of Molecules and Men
Atoms and molecules are tiny but can have a big influence on the habitability of planets and astrobiologists' theories about them.
Hydroxyl ions (one oxygen and one hydrogen) are highly reactive ions formed by the breakdown of ozone by the sun. Science Daily reported that others are formed at night by a different process. This process was not observed till scientists at the University of Pennsylvania found a short-lived intermediate. Hydroxyl ions act as the "atmosphere's detergent," the article says, taking the initial steps in the breakdown of hydrocarbons and other pollutants.
Water is, of course, the ultimate prerequisite for life in the minds of most astrobiologists – so much so, that they think "life" whenever they find ice (see hydrobioscopy). The latest story being told about stars and our early solar system is that water is older than the sun. Scientists at the Carnegie Institute of Washington, reported Live Science, did not actually observe water before the sun. They just figured with their models that it had to be, or else the ratios of heavy water (containing deuterium instead of hydrogen) wouldn't work.
"The implications of our study are that interstellar water-ice remarkably survived the incredibly violent process of stellar birth to then be incorporated into planetary bodies"study lead author Ilse Cleeves, an astronomy Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan, told Space.com….
"A significant fraction of Earth's water is likely incredibly old, so old that it predates the Earth itself," Cleeves said. "For me, uncovering these kinds of direct links between our daily experience and the galaxy at large is fascinating and puts a wonderful perspective on our place in the universe."
Polonium-209 is an atomic isotope, not a molecule. It made news recently by getting a new age. The old half-life was 102 years. That has been increased by 25%, PhysOrg says, to 125.6 years. "The difficulty in measuring the particular Po-209 half-life arises from its scarcity in pure form, the long length of its half-life, and the specific types of radiation involved in its decay." Po-209 has long been used as a tracer for geophysical processes. What effect might this change have? "Because sediment cores are used for determining human impact on the environment over the past century, the new measurement could impact these studies as well as other environmental measurements and biological assays." The article did not discuss whether this revision would impact half-life measurements of longer-lived isotopes used in radiometric dating.
Cellulose is a molecule that is stronger, ounce-for-ounce, than steel, Science Daily says. It is also the most abundant organic compound on earth—a primary component of wood and plant stems that keeps plants upright. It is also indigestible except by bacteria. Purdue University scientists recently determined the structure of the enzyme, cellulose synthase, that makes cellulose. This knowledge might help bioengineers "make new kinds of natural products to replace those we now make from oil."
Isopropyl cyanide has been found in space, Cornell University announced. What does that imply? It's big news for astrobiologists, who feel that it shows that branched molecules can form naturally. Many amino acids have branching parts. "The branched carbon structure of isopropyl cyanide is a common feature in molecules that are needed for life — such as amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins," the press release says. "This new discovery lends weight to the idea that biologically crucial molecules, like amino acids that are commonly found in meteorites, are produced early in the process of star formation — even before planets such as Earth are formed." The BBC News really pushed the life angle in its coverage.
Elementary, my star flotsam: How do stars make the elements? Arizona State wants to know. It has its own version of Genesis:
In the beginning, all was hydrogen – and helium, plus a bit of lithium. Three elements in all. Today's universe, however, has nearly a hundred naturally occurring elements, with thousands of variants (isotopes), and more likely to come.
ASU will be joining with other universities to figure out how elements are made by supernovae and "chemical evolution" after the big bang (for problems with getting lithium from the big bang, see the 9/15/14 entry) . According to current theories of nucleosynthesis, stars "crank out carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and all those good things that make you and me." This has been common thought for decades. "While the broad outline is clear, details are a lot murkier," ASU astrophysicist Frank Timmes admits. We also don't know how the first stars made of hydrogen and helium did it, because "all those stars are gone". Our sun is made of elements that didn't exist in the big bang, he explains, so our sun must be the end product of "many, many previous generations of stars". How many?
Timmes explains, "A typical massive star, in round numbers, lives about a million years. The Big Bang occurred about 7 billion years before the sun formed. I need a thousand generations of massive stars to get us to a billion years, so I need on the order of 10,000 generations of massive stars to get one with the sun's composition."
The whole theory relies on models of supernovas. Those are observable, but the underlying mechanisms and the processes of nucleosynthesis are not. "In a loose, hand-waving sense, we know that stars explode, of course, but exactly how it happens isn't well-known or understood."
If you can keep your head with observable science when all the experts about you run are losing theirs with hand-waving models based on evolutionary assumptions leading to just-so stories, yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, and—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!

rockyway says:
'Isopropyl cyanide has been found in science, Cornell University announced.
– shouldn't that read found in space?
'It's big news for astrobiologists, who feel that it shows that branched molecules can form naturally.
– do we actually know how it formed?
'According to current theories of nucleosynthesis, stars "crank out carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and all those good things that make you and me."
– it's not elements like carbon (etc.) that 'make' people but rather intelligence and design. The materialist, being intellectually bankrupt, has to deliberately confuse (or conflate) material composition with intentional (and intelligent) organization of those constituent elements.
Thanks for pointing out the error; it has been fixed. "space" was intended.

Women's Basketball 24.7 - "There is no Offseason"
We found out which teams will be playing in EuroLeague and EuroCup today:

The draws have been conducted for EuroLeague and EuroCup:
http://www.womensbasketball247.com/2019/07/2019-20-euroleague-and-eurocup-draws/
I had bad info and thought that the Puerto Rican league draft was this week, but it was last week. Jazmon Gwathmey is joining the league for the first time so she had to go through the draft and was obviously picked first. Traditional rookies were the next two picks as Deanna Kuzmanic from UAB and Sofia Roma from Duke were picked.
Also from last week, the Chinese league has announced their schedule and there are big changes. They will not start the season until after the November national team games, opening on the 21st. They will play until January 2nd and then take a month plus break for the Lunar New Year and national team play again. After resuming on the 12th of February, they will not finish the regular season until March 26th this year. Quarterfinals are April 1st to 11th, semifinals are April 15th to 25th, and finals run April 29th to May 9th.
First update of the new season from Spain:

So I understand most of the European basketball system, having grown up following soccer and its broadly similar structure. But what is the European League and why does it exist? Do some of these teams play in their domestic leagues, either EuroLeague or EuroCup, and the European League on top? Seems a bit much.

The European (Women's Basketball) League is a cross-national league not run by FIBA. It used to be the Eastern European Women's Basketball League, but started taking more teams from countries not in Eastern Europe and renamed themselves. The teams do play in domestic league and some of them play in other European competitions (TTT Riga won last season while competing in EuroLeague, but are not playing this season). The Central European Women's League and the Women's Adriatic Basketball Association League also exist. It looks like the old Baltic League is no longer competing and instead Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are having some kind of unified league now.

Ahh she did one of those Hollingsworth, Bentley Vandersloot things ? I never knew thanks for the knowledge !
All the roster listings that I have seen so far have them with Bonner, Prince, Ndour and European Europeans. They did bulk up their domestic core slightly, but they clearly have less of a budget to work with this season. I suppose it could give them flexibility to add players later.
Ekaterinburg has no excuses this season. All their main challengers are weaker and they have a healthy Faulkner. If Torrens is back to her best, they should be utterly unstoppable in Europe. Vandersloot, Quigley, Griner, and whichever fourth foreigner they choose should be fine domestically.


River House is a gem of a venue located just a step out of the heart of St Augustine's historic downtown. It backs up to the gorgeous banks of the intra-coastal which flows through St Augustine, under Bridge of Lions! We love the idea that you can hold your ceremony at the waterfront on the back patio to make for a romantic, secluded feeling! Not only is the set up just perfect for your ceremony they have a grand ballroom-like interior with a stunning dance floor. River House truly feels like an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city!

New Anthology Sample!
Hi folks. Life has been pretty busy and distracting of late, but after a few busy weeks I find myself with some time on my hands once again the freedom with which to write. And so I have, specifically on my second contribution to the Yuva Anthology – the Prologue known as "The Torch". Though the story is not yet complete, I am finally reaching the climax of the tale, where the main character Magid Muktari is arriving to meet his benefactor and the man who intends to make sure his dream of exoplanet colonization becomes a reality.
But of course, there is still the question of terms to consider, some details that need to be ironed out, and an explanation or two as to why this is all happening. But I won't bore you with a big summation. Instead, I present you with the latest installments in the story where Muktari takes his first commercial flight into space and doesn't much enjoy it! Relying on research I've been doing on Virgin Galactic, the "Skylon" engine, and other sources, this is basically my take on what commercial space flight will look like in the near future.
What's more, the chapter includes some ideas on the subject of orbital living pods, habitation complexes, and private space stations which may also become a reality in a few decades. Yes, as the technology improves and more and more people find themselves going into space, to the Moon, and beyond, Earth's orbit could become the new international waters, where just about anything is legal, people do their "off-world banking", and the rich live and play in low-gravity environments. Enjoy the chapter and please feel free to offer any and all constructive criticisms or comments…
"Treat" was hardly the word Muktari would have used. After a strenuous take off, the plane pulled into a sharp ascent, engaged its hypersonic engines, and was soon breaking the sound barrier several times over. Thus far, the trip was conforming to his expectations, which could only mean things would get worse before they got better. For the duration of their ascent, he had only one thought on his mind.
Why am I doing this? Was entertaining a possible job offer really this important to him? Would a few years in Oslo and the North Atlantic be so bad by comparison? Of course it would, but that didn't make this personal first any more pleasant.
Of course, it was obvious why Harding had such a place available to him. More and more, one heard of corporate offices being placed in orbit, where the laws were laxer and off world authority was still being established. Most financiers found that they had at least another few decades before the law caught up to them and some interplanetary body would be created that could monitor their floating financial holdings or havens.
Nevertheless, the idea of breaking orbit and enduring near-weightlessness was not something he thought too highly of. Heights had been known to give him vertigo. How would standing above an entire planet feel in comparison?
Things did not improve until they hit atmo, at which point, weightlessness returned all of the blood which had been pooling in his legs to his head . He grunted loudly as the transition hit him, making his headache feel all the more noticeable.
"Don't drink much do you?" asked Natalia, seated across from him.
"No," he replied heavily. "Ironically, I think I could use a drink right now."
She smiled. Pressed the button on the side of her seat. "What can we get you? This flight comes with a full refreshment service."
"Nothing, please. I doubt I could keep it down right now." He raised his hand as he said this. The effort to bring it to face height was incredibly easy, and he began to stare at it and everything around him as the ship coasted into the upper atmosphere. Everything that wasn't anchored in place seemed to be floating carelessly, as if underwater. The sight of it seemed ethereal, almost entirely incorporeal.
He looked out the cabin window and spotted the thin blue layer of the upper atmosphere that was slowly pulling away from them. He had heard of the effect of seeing the great blue marble from orbit, but had imagined it would feel somewhat differently. Looking down at it all, he did not feel particularly grandiose or tiny, as he'd been told to expect. He mainly felt empty, as if some sense of pathos was struggling to be realized within him. He didn't understand why, nor did he particularly want to think about what it meant…
"Folks, we're about to engage the third stage drive. Please hang on and remain seated."
"Oh dear," Muktari breathed, tightening his grip on the arm rests. Natalia raised her voice to be heard over the sound of the gentle warning bell that began to fill the cabin with its chimes.
"Don't worry. It's nothing like breaking orbit. You'll barely feel it at all."
She was right too. It was marginally better. As soon as the noise died down, they felt a push that pushed Muktari into his seat and pulled Natalia against her restraints. But the force was relatively calm compared to the concerted effort it took to get them from the ground into the lower atmosphere. It almost felt soothing by comparison, and ended quicker too.
When the engine cut out, they began to coast again and things once again seemed to float everywhere. Muktari leaned back once more and took a deep, cleansing breath.
"Better?" she asked.
"Oh, yes. I love the irony of it too."
"Irony? What irony?"
He opened his eyes, saw the look of genuine confusion on her face. He considered explaining it to her, how the very man who seemed to be proposing that some segment of humanity break the bonds of Earth and travel to the stars was terrified of doing it himself. That in itself seemed like irony enough, but the deeper implications of that were not something he felt like discussing. It was not simply a joyous experiment, he knew, but a possible necessity.
Mankind would either slip the bonds of Earth forever, or risk perishing below as it became less and less hospitable. How could he explain that to one such as her, someone still young and from all outward appearances, happy to be alive in her time?
"Never mind," he said. "It's a moot point. All that matters is, you're father wants to see me and I'm obliging him. As I imagine all people do."
"He does seem to have that effect on people."
Muktari hummed thoughtfully. "And does he make them all go through the effort of coming topside to see him or does he deign to travel to meet them from time to time?"
Her eyes grew distant and she looked away as she answered. "Not for some time now."
It was Muktari's turn to look confused, but nothing more seemed forthcoming and he didn't feel like asking. He was sure all things would be made plain enough once they reached Harding's particular module. Then he could marvel over the engineering achievement of such a thing and stroke Harding's ego by telling him he had never seen one up close. He was sure he would find that flattering enough, and might even choose to intrigue Muktari by describing it's construction in detail to him. He was sure he would find any discussion of a module's internal ecology quite interesting to.
After a moment of strained silence, Natalia smiled to him again and retrieved her Flexpad. For the duration of the flight, they said nothing more to each other. Only the occasional corrective burst from the retro rockets seemed to break the smooth monotony of their course. Earth disappeared out the port side window too and all he could see after that was a background of stars. Looking at the rotating star field was likely to trigger vertigo, so he simply closed his eyes and tried to rest until they arrived.
It wasn't until sunlight broke through the window that he chose to open them again.
"Oh! Oh my!" he said, shielding them from the harsh light. Once more, he was suffering terribly from the effects of a single night of irresponsibility.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
"Yes, just let me know when the window's adjusted."
He heard her giggle. "It already has, so you're safe. And you really should look. You can see it from here."
"See what?"
"Curiosity," she said plainly. That brought his eyes open. Anything with such an abstract name was something he had to see. Straining to adjust his eyes, he looked out the tinted window and waited for something other than the glowing ball in the background to become apparent to him.
And then it came to him. Twinkling in the night, it's solar arrays stretching to the side like long, shining filaments, the small satellite hung before them. He could make out the hub in the center of it, discernible by its flashing status lights. As they neared, this bulbous middle section elongated and became a cylindrical structure, the lights flashing on it surface indicating that it was rotating. Only a small band at the very center of it remained steady, where the long arrays were mounted.
Towards the bottom end, where they seemed to be heading, a large aperture loomed. Bright lights shined out from within, and more blinking lights moved before his eyes as the doors on which they were mounted seemed to be sliding open to admit them.
Some more corrective bursts, and the entire thing shifted towards the nose of their craft. Slowly, Earth filled the window again and its yellow and green continents and shimmering skies were all that they could see. Another burst pushed him forwards against his restraints, and he felt them slowing.
And then, his window went grey. A long wall overtook them, metal, lighting and composite materials swallowing their ship and closing in behind them. More bursts, more corrective movements, and then a loud clang reverberated through the hall and he felt them come to a stop.
He felt blood trickle back into his feet and was struck by a slight dizziness. He lifted his arm again and noted the return of gravity, albeit just by a fraction. Clearly, the station was simulating barely a quarter g, if that much at all. He would find walking quite disorienting at first, then perhaps a bit adventurous. He would have to be careful.
Natalia's voice was like a trumpeter call when she announced that it was time.
"Come on. I've arranged a short tour before we see my father. You'll be quite interested to see what Curiosity has to offer."
Muktari's ears registered her voice like a harsh disturbance. At the moment, they were attuned to every noise in the ship, every din coming through the walls from the outside. He could hear the sound of buzzing and whirring at work, coming through the walls fro somewhere to their fore. No doubt, a docking collar was extending from somewhere inside the bay and was busy mounting itself on the ship's hatch.
"Are you coming?" she said, getting to her feet.
He very carefully undid his restraints, raised himself to his feet, and then sat back down.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I think I'll wait. Don't want to exit too soon. Decompression and all that."
She didn't laugh or giggle this time. After dealing with all his other hang ups, she appeared to be getting just the slightest bit tired of him. She extended her hand and addressed him the way a mother might address a child.
"I assure you, Doctor. No one is going to let you step off before the collar is fully fixed and pressurized. No one has ever died or suffered from asphyxiation while in my father's care."
She imbued his title with some degree of emphasis, he noticed. Perhaps she was seeking to remind him he was a man of science and such behaviors were supposed to be beneath him.
He shook his head. "Even so…"
She sighed once more and took hold of his hand. "Don't worry," she said calmly, but firmly. "I'll be there with you in case anything bad happens. But I promise you, nothing will."
He looked down at her hand, touching his, then to her face. Her eyes were insistent, but still soft and charming. And her hand felt warm against his, quite warm. Suddenly, he forgot about his dizzy spell and the remote chance he might die as he stepped off the craft. Even his headache seemed a distant memory right now…

Home Africa News No More Overseas Treatment For Senior Govt Officials – Chiwenga
No More Overseas Treatment For Senior Govt Officials – Chiwenga
Vice President Chiwenga, who is the Minister of Health and Child Care told the media that the state will no longer be assisting government officials to seek medical treatment outside Zimbawe.
This is a move aimed to balance medical balance as he also promised to improve service conditions for health workers.
We will not export our or make referrals to our patients. Those who have been going out it is you and me. Is it not it? Altogether but that export bill was too high and that is what we want to do away with.
Zimbabwe has a national medical bill that is high. It is, therefore, imperative that the country develops a method of containing the import bill through health care innovations for import substitution.
This entails inverting the import bill burden into export receipts either in part or most importantly in the whole. This will improve the funding of the national health care system.
We will have hospitals that will specialise in different treatment services across the country. We are restructuring from the village health worker right up to the top hospital.
VP Chiwenga went on to give insights on the restructureing processes hihlighing that it was a result oriented and has also came to completion.
Today, it is with great pleasure that I announce that the first phase of the restructuring of the Health and Child Care Ministry that I was tasked to undertake by President Emmerson Mnangagwa is now complete
The new structure will have nine divisions headed by chief directors including eight specialised departments. The total establishment of the Ministry of Health has not been changed
The new structure's nine divisions have been set as biomedical engineering, biomedical science, biopharmaceutical engineering and production, general service inspectorate, logistics and assets management, personnel and external relations, human resource management, health professional councils and regulations, finance and corporate services, public health policy strategy and production and curative services.
He also took an opportunity to talk about the service conditions of health workers were he pointed out that, "We have now reviewed salaries and allowances as a way of government commitment to make the national health care system competitive.
He went on to stress that as a ministry they: "are convinced that salaries and conditions of service are bound to further improve and be more competitive in the short to medium term because of the import substitution measures that the new Ministry of Health and Child Care is now representing. Housing and vehicle loans will also form part of the improved conditions of service."
The VP concluded by saying, "as we move forward and face the future with courage, the expectation of government is that the work ethics and work culture within the ministry undergo deep transformation. We expect grievances to be solved amicably through discussion without endangering patients' lives.
"Never again shall patients' lives be used as pawns in a game of chess", he promised>chaosafrica

Maine State Representative Andrea Boland re-introduces bill requiring warning labels on cell phones with focus on non-thermal effects.
LD 1014, The Children's Wireless Protection Act calling for warning labels on cell phones and an advisory notice to be posted in all cell phone retailers warning users of the potential health hazards associated with cells phones and how to use them more safely.
WARNING: Federal health safety standards have yet to be established for nonthermal effects of cellular telephone radiation, which have been identified as reasons for health safety concerns, such as brain tumors.
ADVISORY: Cellular telephones should be used with care.
Federal health safety standards have yet to be established for non-thermal effects of cellular telephone radiation.
Non-thermal effects of cellular telephone radiation have been identified as reasons for health safety concerns, such as brain tumors, fertility issues and other consequences of genetic damage.
Avoid contact with head and body.
Avoid proximity to reproductive organs.
The addition of non-thermal language was inspired by a similar bill brought in the state of Oregon also stressing non thermal (non heat related aspects of cell phone radiation) safety concerns regarding cell phone radiation and lack of any federal safety standards for non thermal effects.

Gacko (Serbian: Гацко) is a town and municipality located in Republika Srpska, an entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is situated in the region of East Herzegovina. As of 2013, the town has a population of 5,784 inhabitants, while the municipality has 8,990 inhabitants.
The municipality covers an area of 736 km2 (284 sq mi), making it one of the larger municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The town is near the state border with Montenegro.
In the 14th century the region was governed by the powerful Vojinović family.
In 1359, veliki čelnik Dimitrije held the region.
The rebels were defeated at the field of Gacko. It ultimately failed due to lack of foreign support.
Austro-Hungarian authorities took it over in 1878, a decision which was made at the Berlin Congress. In 1908, Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina sparking the Bosnian crisis which eventually led to World War I.
After that war, Gacko joined the State of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, going on to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes by the end of 1918. These were the first incarnations of Yugoslavia where Gacko remained until Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence in 1992.
According to the 2013 census results, the municipality of Gacko has 8,990 inhabitants.
The Gacko coal mine and thermoelectric powerplant is located the municipality, and is also the largest employer in the area.
The local football club, FK Mladost Gacko, plays in the First League of the Republika Srpska.

RICHMOND, Va. - Despite a Supreme Court ruling delaying carbon-pollution limits, observers expect the changes underway in Virginia's power grid to continue.
In response to a lawsuit by coal and oil companies and states, the court stayed implementation of the Environmental Protection Agency's rules for existing power plants. But legal experts have pointed out that the court order merely pauses enforcement until legal challenges are finished. It's not a ruling on the merits or basis of the rules.
Former Obama climate policy adviser Heather Zichal, a senior fellow with the Atlantic Council, said the EPA's authority for the Clean Power Plan has been reviewed by the Supreme Court twice before.
"We're pretty confident that courts will ultimately uphold the Clean Power Plan," she said. "States are not going to back down. They know that this is the direction that the world is heading, and they know that there are real benefits for the economy as well as the environment."
Gov. Terry McAuliffe's office is still moving ahead to implement Clean Power Plan pollution limits. The coal and oil companies have argued that it will be disastrous for the economy and limit the availability of cheap power. But a few years ago, more than half U.S. electricity came from coal. Now it's less than 40 percent and falling quickly.
Tony Smith, president and chief executive of Staunton-based solar energy company Secure Futures, said he's astonished at how rapidly renewables have grown in Virginia and around the country in recent years.
"It's amazing to look back how much has changed in the state in terms of solar adoption," he said. "We're in the midst of a tectonic shift in public awareness and support for renewable energy."
According to polls done for the Sierra Club and others, Americans and Virginians overwhelmingly support carbon pollution limits. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals expects to hear the underlying lawsuit against the Clean Power Plan this summer.

Daughters are fathers' jewel
in Literary Review
Title: From Best Dad to Dearest Daughter
Author: Chika Abanobi
Publisher: Screptirus
Pagination: 118
Reviewer: Henry Akubuiro
Being a dad isn't just about working round the clock and providing for your family. A good dad is a good mentor; he is a character molder, even the daughter's best friend, as we find in Chika Abanobi's whatsapp exchanges with his daughter in From Best Dad to Dearest Daughter: Secret Worries of a Doting Dad.
Abanobi's offering goes beyond whatsapp messages shared with his daughter. Those messages only serve as a springboard by a paterfamilias to encourage dads and daughters out there on fostering a healthy relationship, especially one geared towards impacting their academic and moral developments. Abanobi draws from the confessions and experiences of Nigerian and international celebrities to show how a father-daughter relationship can lead, ultimately, to the fertilisation of ambitions. This book, thus, serves as a veritable lesson in child training and a testament to obedience and its long term rewards.
An award-winning journalist and associate editor with The Sun newspaper, Abanobi has been recognised for his innovative reporting of education news. This experience manifests in the sublime manner he inculcates knowledge to both children and parents, using the experiences of legendary writers like Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Adichie; international figures like Michell Obama and Malala Yousafazai; Nollywood stars like Omoni Oboli, Uche Jombo, Belinda, to mention a few of distinguished personalities with inspirational stories to share.
The 10 chapter-book begins with a whatsapp message —Dearest Daughter, when, in response to my Whatsapp messages you called me 'best dad', I wondered whether I really am…. " Abanobi uses this gambit to attract youths before passing across the messages he has by juxtaposing the experiences of a number of highflyers as a guide to young people, especially females, who, in our African society, do not get enough encouragement to excel like their male counterparts.
Abanobi uses, first, the example of 24-year old Alex Iyaji, a former student of Benue State University, who graduated with CGPA of 4.53 in the 2014/2015 academic session to prepare the minds of his readers how dads spurred their children to academic excellence, going by his admission. Taking it up from there, he tells his daughter that, from Iyaji's experience, parents share in the glory or shame of their children.
Like Iyaji, who graduated in flying colours, Abanobi recounts the sterling qualities of Oluwamayowa Daudo, a law graduate of Ekiti State University, who graduated with a first class degree in the 2017/2018 set of the Nigerian Law School. He is quoted as saying: "My parents, especially my dad, are strict disciplinarians who always encourage us to study hard. My dad believes that every child has great potential which can only be revealed through hard work and discipline") p. 5).
Omoni Oboli, recounts Abanobi, also acknowledges the support of his father in her tribute when he died: "As I lay you down to rest, daddy, you were my biggest fan. Ever since I was a little girl, my dad always made me feel special… " That's the marvel of encouragement. Abanobi reminds his daughter thus: "My dear daughter, as I read those touching words from Omoni, I could not help wondering if I occupy such a place in your heart…" (p. 15).
Best Dad to Dearest Daughter tells us about the impacts of Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton's parents on them while growing up. Abanobi's daughter concedes that his father contributed to her academic prowess by bribing her to read as a child until she became a bookworm. Little wonder, she emerged a campus champion herself at the end of her university education.
Abanobi's book is full of inspirational stories about academic triumphs by youngsters. Another that catches the eye is that of one Ngozichukwu, a 2018 graduate of the Department of Accounting, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, who made a first class degree at 18. She attributed that drive to her parents, who, from the beginning, ingrained in her the benefits of making a first-class result.
Ngozi Chimamanda Adichie's revelation on how her parents influenced her is another dollop for young minds. Adichie told Abanobi in an interview that they —his father's children —learned mathematics from him, and, though he was a mathematician, he didn't look down on literature, her favourite. The author preaches that having understanding and accommodating parents is important.
This book, which contains all the ingredients of success (why students pass or fail; rules of parenting; how to excel despite challenges, etc) is an offering for students, youths and parents and how to get the best out of their children. It is urgently recommended.

Q: Referencing another page and change the iframe content I am trying to use my Home Page to reference another page and change the content in the iframe of that page and its title using JavaScript. I can change the content when I already am in the page, but when I reference from the home page, it wont change the content of the iframe.
EntryForm.html is the 'master form page' that needs to be able to change the content of the iframe and the title based off when the user clicks the button from the home page. Any help is appreciated.

JavaScript
function WastePage() {

}
function MetricsPage() {
    document.getElementById("h1").innerHTML = "Metrics Entry Form";
    document.getElementById("GlobalFrame").src = "MetricsEntryForm.html";
}

A: Move the iframe to the home page and remove the Entry.html page completely.  That page seems worthless considering what you are trying to do. Then remove the anchor tags from the Waste, Metrics, and Safety links.  Here is the updated home.html:

Carrolton Plant

     <input title="Home Page" type="homebutton"></input>
     <input title="Previous Page" type="previousbutton" onclick="PreviousPage()"></input>
   <input title="Waste Entry Page" type="wastebutton" onclick="WastePage()"></input>
     <input title="Metrics Initializer" type="gearbutton" onclick="MetricsPage()"></input>
     <input title="Heat Map" type="heatbutton"></input>
    <input title="Safety Entry" type="safetybutton" onclick="SafetyEntryPage()"></input>
     <input title="Trending" type="trendbutton" onclick="Trending()"></input>
     <input title="Alarm and Events" type="alarmbutton" onclick="Alarm()"></input>
     <input title="Report Expert" type="expertbutton" onclick="ReportExpert()"></input>
     <input title="Data Entry Reports" type="ssrsbutton" onclick="DataEntrSSRS()"></input>

Also add this function to your javascript file
function HomePage() {
    document.getElementById("h1").innerHTML = "Carrolton Plant";
    document.getElementById("GlobalFrame").src = "MetricsEntryForm.html";
}

That is what I would do anyways.
