A stop at my Great Iowa Treasure Hunt booth during the Iowa State Fair paid off for many fairgoers. New this year, fairgoers were able to claim directly at the booth and take advantage of our easy-to-use online claiming process. State and County Fairgoers found over 8,000 unclaimed properties, totaling more than $625,000 in value. The largest claim was over $63,000.
The last week in September, I announced the addition of over 60,000 Des Moines-area properties to the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt. The additional properties represent over $11 million added from the City of Des Moines class action franchise tax lawsuit. The amounts range from $10 to over $300,000 and my office will have these properties for 18 months and will then return the remaining funds to the City. In the last week of September, our office received a record number of calls, people stopping by our office, visits to our website and claims submitted. But even more importantly, we set a record number of claims paid in a single month as a result of the attention the program received in the press. 4,853 people received checks in September for a total of $1,387,106!
Since 1983, the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt has returned over $233 million. Corporations, business associations, financial institutions and companies across the nation report millions of dollars in unclaimed property to the state treasurer each year. Common examples of unclaimed property include money in forgotten savings and checking accounts, uncashed insurance benefit and payroll checks, lost stock and dividends, abandoned safe deposit box contents, utility refunds or deposits.

The Crash Investigation Unit for the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office consists of a group of highly trained officers that document and investigate the scene of serious and fatal motor vehicle accidents within and outside of Dutchess County.
The significance of the evidence documented at the scene through photographs and forensic mapping is usually crucial to the prosecution of a criminal or civil case involving wrongful death or serious physical injury. The focus in these extensive investigations is to prove or disprove negligence or recklessness of those involved through speed analysis, mechanical inspections, vehicle interior examinations, and occupant kinematics (movement) studies.
Many of these cases largely consist of trace evidence, hair, blood patterns, finger prints, and exchange of substances during impact. Collecting and analyzing DNA is an integral part of the processing of interior components, especially when proving the identity of the driver is essential to the case.
The Crash Investigation Team provides educational seminars for Fire and Police Departments as well as vehicle recovery agents. The seminars introduce major accident scene investigation, from crime scene analysis through the investigative process and building a criminal case. Students review several crash scenes focusing on roadway evidence and debris. Items of interest from the obvious (such as tire marks and vehicle damage) to remote fragile items (such as glass, paint chips and fibers) are discussed in detail and stressing the importance of preservation of the evidence. Students are given introductory knowledge of how each piece of the crash scene, in and out of the vehicle, plays an important role in determining causation, the criminal investigation process, and successful prosecution. These introductory seminars have proven effective in making first responders aware of their vital role in the preservation of evidence.

Bal w Moulin de la Galette (fr. Bal du moulin de la Galette) – obraz olejny o wymiarach 131 × 175 cm, autorstwa francuskiego malarza impresjonisty Auguste'a Renoira, namalowany w roku 1876.

Jedna z trzech wersji obrazu została namalowana w 1876. Modelami byli, podobnie jak w innych dziełach, przyjaciele artysty. Mniejsza wersja dzieła znajduje się obecnie w Musée d'Orsay, większa zaś w John Hay Whitney Collection w Nowym Jorku. Obraz był wcześniej własnością Chocqueta. Większa wersja, zaprezentowana na trzeciej wystawie impresjonistów w 1877 roku, została przekazana Muzeum Luwru przez Gustave'a Caillebote'a w testamencie napisanym w listopadzie 1876. Podobnie stało się z innymi obrazami zmarłego w wieku dwudziestu siedmiu lat kolekcjonera.

Modelami do postaci tancerzy byli przyjaciele autora, którzy pomagali mu przenosić płótno: Franc-Lamy, Norbert Gœneutte, Georges Rivière, Henri Gervex, Frédéric Samuel Cordey, Eugène Pierre Lestringuez, Paul Lhote. Ich partnerki Renoir wybierał spośród dziewcząt, które przychodziły co niedzielę tańczyć do starego Moulin.

Bal w Moulin de la Galette powstał rzeczywiście w paryskim Moulin de la Galette.

1953 saw the last of the major polio epidemics in North America. In Canada that resulted in almost 9000 cases with over 500 deaths. That was an 18% mortality rate and that figure climbs as high as 30% for adults. The mortality rate isn't as high anymore where polio still exists but then medicine has come a long way and the development of antibiotics has made a major contribution.
Many of the deaths in those days were attributed more to infection than the actual polio. In todays society the mortality rate should be zero. With the vaccine there is absolutely no excuse for people to have to suffer the loss of loved ones due to the devastating disease.
The 1953 polio epidemic happened in the early days of penicillin. In June 1942 there was just enough US penicillin available to treat ten patients. Although it had been around many years it wasn't until 1945 that mass production was started for the use of the general public. Sulpha drugs were the antibiotic of choice then and they created a wide range of other issues.
As I had indicated earlier the high number of polio cases required dormitories, not hospital wards. The numbers were just to high. The sudden jump in numbers put huge strains on limited resources and many people just didn't get treated. This was also before the time of socialized medicine in Canada so it was a user pay process.
Following my initial diagnosis I spend almost a year in the King George Hospital. By the time my fourth birthday came around I had spend a quarter of my early life in a hospital. By the time I turned 16 that percentage had doubled but that is a story for later.
I never experienced any surgery in Winnipeg, that didn't begin until my family moved us to Calgary. In fact the move to Calgary was because the Junior Red Cross Crippled Children's Hospital (now evolved into the Alberta Children's Hospital) was offering free treatment to child survivors of polio. It was to obtain treatment for me that my parents decided to uproot the family in 1957 and head for Calgary. Again a tale for another time. I did experience the treatment of the day in Winnipeg. That involved stretching out the affected limbs to keep the tendons from contracting.
That was either done with splints, a body frame or casting. It was all dependent on the severity of the contractions going on. And that was related to how much of the virus they were able to drain off from the spinal tap. In my case it started with casting. I don't remember the cast very well but I can still feel the acrid taste of the ether in the back of my throat. I also remember the gauze mask and I am reminded of it every time I use a strainer with cheese cloth. The was the anesthetic of the day and it wasn't uncommon to be accompanied with vomit. I only have one memory of that and it is mainly olfactory but very vivid.
My parents were able to take me home for Christmas that year but on an out-patient basis and with casts on both legs. My mother was seven months pregnant at the time with who was to be the fifth addition to the family. That brother would be almost three months old by the time I came home again. My only memory of that Christmas was my father carrying me home from a function down the street and him being sick. My mom recently told me that I had asked him if he was breathing that "terrible smell" but in reality is was too much Christmas cheer.
Following my three day Christmas vacation I was returned to the King George. It was shortly after my return that the hospital began to slowly practice the Sister Kenny approach to polio rehabilitation. This approach revolutionized the approach to treating polio. It also contributed to my aversion to the smell of wet wool to this day. I will save that topic for my next little entry.
Let me close this one with a couple of quick thoughts. First, I DO NOT have polio. I live with the results of polio. Polio is a virus that runs its course and then it is finished. As a polio survivor you deal with the consequences of the virus which can be very diverse (from walking with a limp to living in an iron lung). Telling me I have polio is like telling someone with an acquired disability due to a car accident that they live with the car accident. They don't, they live with the results and it is called paraplegia. And second, in 1994 the North and South America's were declared polio free by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. Twenty years later this is no longer true.
There is no reason for children or adults to have to live with the threat of this devastating disease again. Not when such a simple approach, the polio vaccine, exists. As a polio survivor I don't ever want to see the rise of this disease again. I realize the avoidance of vaccines is a growing movement however every time someone refuses to vaccinate their child, they don't only threaten their child's health but they threaten the health of every child in the community.

The Russians in Syria
By Amy McCullough
PDFLink
They aren't going anywhere.
Russia's military presence in Syria continues to grow despite Russian President Vladimir Putin's March announcement that he would begin to withdraw troops from the war-torn country.
Outgoing Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. told House lawmakers on Nov. 17 that Russia has shown no signs of pulling out of Syria. "They have sustained a presence of their artillery and a deployment of a very advanced air defense system," Clapper told members of the House Select Intelligence Committee. "Clearly the Russians are there to stay."
The US and Russia had recently brokered a temporary cease-fire that took effect Sept. 12. It called for a break in Syrian government air strikes against opposition forces, so humanitarian aid could get through to the areas and people devastated by the conflict. US officials had said that if the cease-fire held for seven days, the US and Russia could begin collaborating on air strikes against ISIS.
Air Forces Central Command boss Lt. Gen. Jeffrey L. Harrigian told reporters in mid-September the command was in the preliminary stages of creating an integration center that would enable such joint operations. However, the cease-fire crumbled a few days later when an aid convoy was bombed, killing more than 20 people.
State Department spokesman John F. Kirby said in an early October statement that the US government was suspending its efforts to bring about another cease-fire in Syria, and all US personnel dispatched to establish the joint implementation center would be withdrawn.
"This is not a decision that was taken lightly. The United States spared no effort in negotiating and attempting to implement an arrangement with Russia aimed at reducing violence, providing unhindered humanitarian access, and degrading terrorist organizations operating in Syria, including [ISIS] and al Qaeda in Syria," said Kirby in the statement.
Russia continued to bolster its airpower in Syria after the cease-fire ended. Although roughly a dozen Su-25 ground-attack jets that were initially deployed to Hmeimim AB, Syria, did return to Russia following Putin's March announcement, a recent satellite image published by IHS Jane's shows eight Russian Navy Su-33s and one MiG-29K from the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov parked alongside Russia's regular contingent of Su-34s, Su-35s, and Su-24s at Hmeimim.
Hmeimim officially became Russia's first permanent air base in the Middle East—its only permanent air base outside of the former Soviet Union, according to Clapper—after Russia ratified a treaty with Syria on Oct. 7. Russia has operated out of the base, located in Latakia province, since September 2015, so the move was largely symbolic. However, it is indicative of Russia's desire to project global military power. It came at a time when tensions with Washington were higher than any time since the Cold War.
The same day the air base treaty was signed, Secretary of State John F. Kerry called for an investigation of war crimes committed by Russia and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, following "yet another hospital" attack killing at least 20 people and wounding 100 more. "Those who commit these [acts] would and should be held accountable for these actions. They're beyond the accidental now—way beyond—years beyond the accidental," said Kerry. "This is a targeted strategy to terrorize civilians and to kill anybody and everybody who is in the way of their military objectives."
The Syrian army, aided by Russia, recaptured the devastated city of Aleppo in mid-December. At least 6,000 civilians and rebels were able to leave the city, but many thousands are stuck and fear repercussions from the Syrian regime. There even were reports of mass executions and women and children being burned alive as they tried to leave the war-torn city.
Clapper said Russia is "increasingly putting more pressure on oppositionists in Aleppo, indiscriminately bombing women, children, hospitals." He said the bombings are likely to continue and are negatively affecting those opposed to the Assad regime "in terms of morale and willingness to continue to fight."
Despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Russia maintains that its presence in Syria is in reality focused on combating extremism. US officials have repeatedly said that although some of Russia's air strikes have targeted ISIS forces in Syria, many have benefited Assad's regime. And the fact that Russia does not regularly use precision guided munitions has led to immense civilian casualties, something the US-led coalition has taken great care to prevent.
Also, in early October, Syria moved an S-300 surface-to-air missile system to Tartus naval base, which Moscow leases from Syria, ringing alarm bells within the anti-ISIS coalition.
"Last I checked, the Russians said that their primary goal was to fight extremism, [ISIS], and [al] Nusra, in Syria. And neither one has an air force," said Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook on Oct. 4. "So I would question just what the purpose of the system is."
Russia quickly rebuked such concerns, saying the missile system was to protect the naval base. However, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov admitted that crews operating the advanced air defense systems would not have to utilize the established line of communication between the US and Russia if they wished to use the missiles to protect Syrian troops, reported the Associated Press.
Cook said the line of communication, to reduce the risk to US/anti-ISIS coalition aircrew and Russian aircrews operating in the same areas, had been "effective" (at least up to that point).
During the November congressional hearing, Clapper said he expected Russia to expand its presence at Tartus "to support naval operations in the eastern [Mediterranean]." Russian state media affirmed this, reporting that paperwork had been filed to create a permanent naval base in Tartus. Leonid Slutsky, the chair of the Russian Duma Foreign Affairs Committee, said the naval base would not only have "docking facilities, but also a command and control system, an air defense system, and "anti-submarine defense capabilities," according to Russia Today.
Clapper's testimony came roughly one week after Russian state media announced the deployment of the country's only carrier, Kuznetsov, to the Mediterranean Sea. State media claimed sorties launched from the carrier "forced militants encircled in eastern Aleppo to search for possibilities to escape" and allegedly brought the anti-Assad rebels "to the negotiating table" to discuss a new cease-fire.
But the Kuznetsov has experienced its fair share of problems. Two Russian aircraft operating off the carrier have crashed within a month's time. A MiG-29 crashed in November, shortly after the carrier's arrival in advance of an expected Russian and Syrian assault on the city of Aleppo. A few weeks later, an Su-33 crashed into the Mediterranean Sea after attempting to land on the carrier following a sortie in Syria.

Cyprus Institute secures European grant for concentrated solar power research
The Cyprus Institute, with another nine partners, is carrying out research in solar energy. The kick-off meeting of the OPTS project (Optimization of a Thermal energy Storage system with integrated Steam Generator), funded by the 7th Framework Programme, has recently taken place in Brussels.
The three-year project, which has an European Commission financial contribution of 8.650.000 euro, is coordinated by the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) and involves 10 other partners, from France, Germany, Israel, Cyprus, Spain and Portugal.
The Cyprus Institute (CyI), a major partner in the consortium, has secured a budget of 515.000, which will create four new positions for researchers, and include both experimental studies and simulations of the various physical phenomena occurring in the device. The CyI will contribute to the design and testing of the full scale test section, and to the impacts on the economics of solar-thermal power plants. Through its participation in the project, The Institute advances its research agenda in the field of solar energy and it demonstrates its emergence as an international force in the field.
Solar energy is an abundant source; each hour the Sun irradiates the Earth with as much energy as is globally consumed in one year. However, solar energy is not always available, such as in cloudy weather or during night-time. Studying and improving technologies for storing the harvested energy is therefore of major importance. One of the most promising technologies relies on storing thermal energy by elevating the temperature of a fluid, such as molten salts.
OPTS aims at developing a new system for thermal energy storage using molten salts, increasing the operational temperatures up to 550 °C, in order to provide efficient, reliable and economic energy storage for the next generation of solar-thermal plants. The objective is to develop and test the new thermal energy storage – steam generator concept for industrial scale solar-thermal plant.
The OPTS project is the result of an incubation process that took place within the Joint Programme on Concentrated Solar Power of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA). The EERA is one of the initiatives of the SET-Plan (Strategic Energy Technology Plan), an instrument of the European Commission aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of cost-effective low carbon technologies for the achievement of Europe's 2020 targets and visions on greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Locavore Liqueur: Philadelphia's new colonial ROOT Tea—"a truly contemplative quaff, rooted in history and our own cultural landscape"
ROOT traces its heritage all the way back to the 1700s when colonists were first introduced to the Root Tea that Native Americans would drink as an herbal remedy. Brewed from sassafras, sarsaparilla, wintergreen birch bark, and other roots and herbs, Root Tea was used to cure a variety of ailments. As colonial settlers passed the recipe down form generation to generation, the drink grew in potency and complexity. This was especially true in the Pennsylvania hinterlands where the ingredients naturally grew in abundance. These homemade, extra-strong Root Teas were a favorite in colonial homes and public houses all over the northeastern colonies.
The first time I saw MV + EE was at the Arthurdesh benefit at 3A.M., where those who had stayed til the end shuffled out of the room visibly stunned after their full-on raw psychedelic performance. If you're in Fishtown this weekend, take the advice of Baby Huey and get mellow one more time… then go to Kung-fu Necktie, where Matt Valentine and Erika Elder will surely proceed to blow your lid.
Philadelphian Will Schofield's monumentally great A Journey Round My Skull blog (named for the first-person Hungarian account of early 20th century brain surgery) of "Unhealthy Book Fetishism" has long relished in the intensity of the gaze, a combination of fascination and repugnance which is almost psychedelic in its insistence.
His most recent posts have artfully combined lustfully sought-after images with utterly maniacal texts, so that the image here is given with with a longer section of this text called "The Process of Slow Digestion" by Mileton Barba.
Dig through the archives and be jealous, amazed, confused and sickened in turns or simultaneously by Schofield's research. But watch for whatever he does next.

First Magnitude Brewing Company -- The weekend itinerary started with a return visit to First Magnitude Brewing Company, situated closeby to the University of Florida (UF) campus. I've been here a few times: my first visit coincided with last year's Hogtown beer fest; and, I returned a few months later for the brewery's first anniversary party last summer. Yeah, I like these guys! In a short time, First Magnitude has definitely "sprung" onto the Florida craft beer map (there's a meaning there; you'll have to read the earlier articles).
The brewery offers a very laid back and fairly sizable indoor tap room, along with an outdoor beer garden, featuring umbrellas and a music stage, in addition to more seating inside the warehouse part of the brewery. The core beers -- Siren Blonde Ale, Ursa IPA, 72 Pale Ale, and Drift English Mild Ale -- are already distributed around and beyond Gainesville in draft and/or cans. The Siren is one of my go-to beers due to its easy drinkability, but you really can't go wrong with any of those! And, of course, First Magnitude brewed the 450 Amber Ale especially for St. Augustine's 450th Anniversary last fall. It was a cool thing to do, and it was a hit in St. Augustine -- I won't lie: I had a few (?) of those!
breweries who made the trip to Gainesville for the Fest. By the way, I didn't make it to Alligator Brewing this trip, but I've been there before. If you're looking for a fun and lively downtown bar experience, check out Tall Paul's/Alligator Brewing.
Swamp Head Brewery -- After that, I headed to Swamp Head Brewery. By now, you already know that Swamp Head built a brand new brewery a couple of years ago, and the result is nothing short of breathtaking. I've been here before, but every time, it's just as impressive. The indoor tap room, "The Wetlands," features a wood-themed ambience, not to mention ten taps of that awesome Swamp Head beer, along with guest taps and a cooler full of bottles. If you feel like hanging around outside, there's an outdoor patio that overlooks a pond and woods. If you're lucky, you might even see a resident gator (the actual four-legged reptile kind) maneuvering around there. Swamp Head is very much into conservation and nature, and the brewery regularly sponsors events to benefit nature-oriented groups. It recently constructed a bat house by the pond with the anticipation of attracting 300+ bats. And, if you're around the area tomorrow, Saturday, April 23, check out TREE FEST 2016, which coincides with the Earth Day Weekend, and where every beer you drink will help to plant five trees in support of the Alachua Conservation Trust.
Speaking of the beer, I have quite a few Swamp Head favorites (as evidenced by my Untappd checkins and social media posts). Take, for example, the Wild Night Honey Cream Ale, one of the core brews. Actually, I'll take one anytime, and in fact I had one with dinner before arriving here. I even brought some cans back with me, too. At 5% ABV, it's a lighter-style beer made with local Florida honey for a moderate sweetness. The hops and malt complement each other for a perfect anytime beer experience. You can't go wrong with the Midnight Oil, an oatmeal coffee stout (5% ABV), brewed with local coffee and English hops. This was one of the first stouts that I really fell in love with a few years ago, and it's still one of my favorites. Swamp Head always brew up new beers, many of which are released in bombers. I could go on and on, but, pretty much, if it's Swamp Head, I pretty much like it. The brewery offers a range of different styles, too, so whatever you're into, they probably make it (IPA, DIPA, red ale, dark ale, Belgian, saison, barrel-aged, etc, etc). The Catherine's Passion Russian Imperial Stout (10% ABV) is a delicious, almost sinful, stout with cocoa and locally roasted coffee, with just enough alcohol presence to let you know that Catherine isn't fooling around here (or maybe she is, given the story behind the inspiration for this one) -- my kind of brew!
Laid Back Peach and Vanilla: Yes, please!
On Friday night, the tap list included several new lager releases with different treatments (lime, habanero), and I really liked the Laid Back Peach and Vanilla, where each flavor in the name stood out for a very tasty combination. After running into Gabe Grass and some of the crew from GrassLands Brewing, it was time to call it a night, because it would be an early call for the Hogtown 5K in a few hours (it seemed).
held at the picturesque Haile Plantation (with a 9am start, by the way). The 5K benefits The Climb for Cancer Foundation, which supports cancer patients and their families at the UF Health Center, through a number of different programs. The charitable purpose of the 5K is motivation in its own right, and for the over-21 participants, there's the added incentive of complimentary Wild Night Cream Ales or Stumpknocker Pale Ales from Swamp Head and pizza by the slice at the finish line. The route transverses peaceful, wooded trails throughout the community. After a somewhat suspicious early forecast, the weather was perfect. The Drum Corps from UF provided a little wake-up rhythm just before the start of the race.
that's what I call GATOR TAIL!
Beer from Swamp Head, and pizza afterwards.
Some of the Swamp Head crew did the 5K, too!
Following the 5K, a DJ provided music to go with that beer and pizza. The announcer proudly informed the crowd that the number of onsite registrations was greater than anticipated, and that over $25,000 had been raised. WooHoo! Cheers to that! One of these days I might become a "serious" runner, but for now, I really enjoy taking part in events such as this for good causes and to have some fun (and, if you noticed: no wig this time around).
not even at 10:30 am. Cheers!
And, then it was time to get into some dry clothes and head out to the beer fest!
Hogtown Craft Beer Fest -- Last year, organizers moved the Fest to the wooded area at Tioga Town Center off SR 26, and I thought it was very attendee-friendly and easy to maneuver around to the different areas. As is customary at Hogtown, vendors are grouped in "pods" generally according to the breweries' geographic location within Florida and other parts of the country, with designated sections for homebrew and European beers. Enter the fest, and pick up your Fest Passport -- everything you need to know is in here: map of the grounds and pods, beers offered by each brewery, special timed tappings, food truck list, and restroom locations (all very important).
Pick up your Fest glass and Passport and go forth!
This year's Fest saw a few noticeable changes, which made the experience even better. The fest area was spread out a bit more, and there was plenty of space to move around comfortably. A large covered sitting area with tables and chairs was a welcome addition, making it easier to eat, drink, do your phone stuff, etc. The tented area even featured acoustic music and some fun tunes. And, those green towers that appeared in several places were equipped with power stations to charge up those batteries in the portable devices that we can't live without. Nice touch! There were water containers and water bottles available for rinsing glasses and drinking, which was another nice addition. Lastly, a number of high top tables were added throughout the grounds for when you need to put that beer down to do other things with your hands. Well done!
from Intuition Ale Works. I could drink that all day!
I didn't have a pre-determined plan for sampling beer, other than wanting to head over to the Jacksonville area first (Pod 6). And, that's where I had the first fest-beer of the day, from Intuition Ale Works, after chatting with tap room manager and overall cool guy, Riley. Let the Fest begin! Time was already flying by, with only four more hours to go!
Of course, I saw some familiar faces at the Engine 15 Brewing tent, and even discussed the new Engine 15 cider with co-owner Sean. I made my way back there a few times. There may have been a Nut Sack Double Brown Ale in there somewhere along the way.
The infamous Engine 15 "lookaway"
And, as always, I had a fun time with Regina and Whit at the Bold City Brewery tent, but the photo-op escaped us this time around (see last year). After that, not much rhyme or reason as to the order of beer sampling, but I mostly looked for new beers and familiar faces. With over 110 breweries here and over 300 beers, ciders and wine, I won't go thru every beer, but of course, there were a few highlights and shout-outs (what's a beerfest without those, right?).
As you'd expect, there was always a large crowd surrounding the tents in Pod 3: Locals, where First Magnitude, Swamp Head and Alligator Brewing were stationed, along with Infinite Ale Works and up-and coming Blackadder Brewing (stay tuned for more info on those guys as they get set to open). The 1:30pm timed tapping of Catherine's Mounds (a coconut treatment of the Catherine's Passion, mentioned above) at the Swamp Head tent had a line that didn't seem to end!
You gotta love it when one of the well-known South Florida breweries has a state-wide launch of a new year-round beer a few days after the beerfest AND they brought it here for us to sample ahead of time. Yeah, I'm talking about Funky Buddha Brewery's Hop Stimulator DIPA, which officially launched April 19. If you haven't had it yet, you'll want to.
tropical fruit; noticeable malt; smooth.
May have had a couple of these.
And, how cool was it to see GrassLands Brewing here from Tally? I've known Gabe and Saralyn for a few years, and they opened the doors to their place last year (check out my December visit to GrassLands here). A really cool bunch of beer people over there making some great beer!
With Gabe Grass... always a fun visit!
strawberries and lemon. Sip on this lemonade!
More wandering around, more beer, more beer people I already know, more I don't know, more photos. I do a lot of talking at beerfests, so it seems I'm always thirsty! And, yes, I carry a water bottle around, too, because this isn't my first time.
I met Tina Ryman from Marker 48 Brewing in Brooksville last month at the FBG Fest in Tampa, and she and Maurice were set up here, too. This brewery is another one of the newer ones, and they're already getting to be regulars at these types of things! And, how exciting that Marker 48 will be representing Florida at the prestigious SAVOR Craft Beer & Food Experience in Washington, D.C. in June! They'll be pairing their saison and dubbel with artistic culinary creations. I really need to make a trip to Marker 48!
I spent some time hanging around at Pod 8: Space Coast, where I caught up with the guys from Intracoastal Brewing Company. During a recent weekend in Melbourne, I stopped by Intra again (yep, been there a few times), and it's a fun place to have some great beer! I'm pretty partial to their stouts and porters. The Mexican Delight Stout (7.8 ABV)(new to me) has a predominant chocolate and coffee aroma, with a hint of cinnamon and peppers. All are in the taste profile, with those peppers making their presence known on the backend. Hot damn!
Fun time with Intracoastal Brewing!
Loved the easy-drinking Intra Hogback Pale Ale, too!
last month, and another brewery I need to visit.
This, the One-eyed Revenge Stout (6.7%): cocoa, coffee.
Yes, that speaks to me!
Nice guys there, and I really like the beer!
Ormond Brewing Company brought some beer!
With Tom Copp from Copp Winery & Brewery in Crystal River.
I really liked that Maple Stout (7%) with maple and chocolate!
Here's another place for "the list" of places to go!
There was a pretty good buzz around here (no, I don't mean just from consuming the beer) about a couple of breweries-in-planning from the Panhandle, too, so I thought I'd check them out. I had a fun time chatting with A Little Madness Brewing Company, coming soon to Pensacola with a seven-barrel system. These guys brought six beers of various styles to the fest, and I think they're on to something. Take a look at the website, and you'll see that the beers are categorized according to differing levels of "madness." The Hysteria Red Ale was appropriately described as a "hoppy red." If a different type of nuttiness is your thing, try the Abeeration Brown Ale. The Honey Delirium Blonde Ale is made with real honey, and this sweetheart of a beer is so good, it just might make you a little crazy. Ok, guys, I see you out there now..... I'm thinkin' roadtrip!
and the coconut didn't overpower the beer.
Check out the logo. No such thing as having too much fun, either.
So, put this one on the list, too, and look ahead for more to come from Halpatter Brewing.
Eventually, the clock ticked to 5pm, tables and tents were coming down, and kegs were rolling out. The fifth Hogtown Craft Beer Fest was now history. Hey, Hogtown, great work with the Fest, and the countdown to the Sixth Hogtown Craft Beer Fest has already started!
Here, a quick shout-out to Crafty Bastards Pub, a very laid-back, neighborhood-type pub with a killer 60-beer tap list and a great assortment of comfort food. My panko-coated chicken was awesome. This was my first time here, and I'll be back next time I'm in Gainesville (maybe after I haven't been drinking beer all day!).
There was still one more event on the agenda for Gainesville Craft Beer Week: Eggs N Kegs at Swamp Head Brewery. Sure, why not? Backstreet Blues Catering offered several breakfast platters, and Swamp Head served up three special combinations of beer and juice. A great idea to wrap up the week. Ran into Tina and Maurice from Marker 48 Brewing here, too!
And, another chance to see the Swamp Head brewery and surrounding grounds -- in the daylight -- and take a few more photos.
On the outdoor patio overlooking the pond.
Yes, that's a real gator moving around the pond.
What a weekend! Thanks, Gainesville!
That's a wrap on another fun and beer-filled weekend in Hogtown! Be sure to attend a beer event around Florida. Not only will you drink great beer, you'll also meet cool people and make new friends. If you're looking for an event, take a look at my two events pages. Know of an event that I don't have listed? Let me know!!!!
Thanks for reading! I appreciate all the feedback!

Every disease community should have a common, accessible patient registry.
We've heard over and over that creating a shared registry of patients is one of the most valuable things a disease community can do. A registry puts critical information about a disease all in one place. This makes it easier for researchers to study the disease, for patients to learn about front-line treatments and for advocates to speak on behalf of the disease community.
But registries are hard to maintain.
Registries are expensive. They need constant upkeep - usually by people with a lot of expertise in disease and data management. Often there are multiple competing registries for one disease, which leads to siloed, dead-end data that nobody can use.
Patient Crossroads is here to fix all of that.
Our CONNECT platform enables anyone - from individual patients to global research organizations - to collect and share disease data in a way that's controlled, transparent and centered on patients' best interests.

CU Boulder class creates urban pollinator garden

By Madeline St. Amour | mstamour@timescall.com | Boulder Daily Camera
PUBLISHED: June 25, 2019 at 6:14 pm | UPDATED: July 9, 2019 at 3:39 pm
Monday morning, University of Colorado Boulder students were digging, raking and hoeing 12 inches of soil on a patch of land on Regent Drive, across from the Engineering Center and right next to parking lot 436.
By the end of Wednesday, the patch of dirt should be green, covered with native plants, shrubs and grasses, and surrounded by a small footpath.
The green space, which is replacing grass that had some concrete hidden underneath, is part of an ongoing project with students in a summer environmental design studio led by Danielle Bilot, a lecturer at CU Boulder whose focus is on pollinators.
"Bees are a keystone species for humans," she said.
Native bees are dying off more than honeybees, Bilot said. Whether on large farms or living in a city, they are often eating the same things over and over, which can make them less resilient.
"The biggest issue for bees is scarcity of diverse enough, frequent enough habitats across a city," she said.
During the summer studio, Bilot teaches about bees, plants and landscape planning. The students choose an area near a parking lot, either on campus or in the city, that would make sense for an urban pollinator garden. Bilot hopes to eventually have gardens in three spots on campus and three in the city. This is the second year of the studio, which is growing.
There is a need for better dispersed pollinating spaces for bees, she said.
"Parks are one massive unit," Bilot said, which creates "population sinks." Bees can only fly for three to four blocks before they need more food.
Her push to create more urban gardens would create "stepping stones" for the bees to move from place to place.
Bilot has been studying urban pollinator impacts for seven years, but realized one of the best ways to make a difference would be to figure out the process for making the best, most efficient pollinator gardens.
"Nothing beats understanding the exact maintenance constraints, the water constraints, aesthetic constraints," she said.
This project will help provide clear answers for people, she said.
While many cities have planting regulations for parking spaces, Bilot said they could make better choices. Two ways to do so is to use native plants, which native bees are more efficient at pollinating, and biodiversity, which leads to food diversity for bees and helps them be more resilient.
Native plants also require less water, she said. While a drip irrigation system was installed in the area where the pollinator garden is being planted, it shouldn't be needed after two years.
Bilot studied landscape architecture in school but wanted to make a difference in the food system. She realized the best way to make a substantial difference was to focus on pollinators.
"This is our livelihood, and either we do something and take matters into our own hands or else we're screwed," she said.
There are more than 3,600 species of native bees, but none of them are honeybees, Bilot said. Most native bees don't sting and don't form hives, instead burrowing in the ground. When paired with native plants, research shows they can help yield better results for farmers, she said.
This summer, Bilot and her class are using plants like fireweed, asters, ninebark and blue grama grass to attract bees. They picked the corner near the main parking lot for the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences because it's prominent, and because the snowplows won't steer snow into that area, which could damage the plants.
Sam Dorfman, a senior studying environmental design, said he took the class because he was interested in learning about landscaping, and how to do so to help the bee population.
Dorfman said what the class has taught him is important for the future.
"As urban development progresses, we're kinda destroying the habitats of bees and animals," he said.
The students also are creating a map of pollinator gardens and areas around campus. This summer they also will launch a website on the project.
Each class builds upon the last one, Bilot said. In the future, she hopes to build a certification system with her students that would resemble LEED certifications for green buildings , but specifically for pollinator habitats.
"Now that we're doing it, people are taking us seriously," Bilot said.

U.S. Olympic team for Tokyo its second-largest in history, most women ever
By Nick ZaccardiJul 13, 2021, 11:01 AM EDT
The U.S. Olympic team for Tokyo will be its second-largest in history and is set to shatter the record for most women competing for any nation at a single Games.
The USOPC announced a team of 613 athletes on Tuesday, the most in Olympic history outside of host nations.
The roster is 627 athletes if including all of the athletes who can be substituted for strategic purposes during several team events, though it's possible some of those athletes will not be used in competition. Here is that full list of qualified athletes.
It is the second-largest Olympic team in U.S. history behind 1996, when it had 648 athletes compete, according to Olympedia.org. That year, it automatically qualified in many sports as host nation.
It's the fourth-largest team in history after hosts France in 1900, Great Britain in 1908 and the U.S. in 1996.
The U.S. has more women than men for a third time in history and for the third Summer Olympics in a row. The percentage of women — nearly 54 — is the largest in U.S. history. There are 329 women among the 613 athletes (and 338 out of the 627 list), set to shatter the record for any nation set by the 2016 U.S. Olympic team (291 women competed in Rio, according to Olympedia).
ON HER TURF: More on a record Olympics for U.S. women
There are more athletes overall thanks to the record 339 medal events in Tokyo, up from 306 in Rio in 2016, with the re-addition of baseball and softball alone adding 39 U.S. athletes.
Equestrian Phillip Dutton will be the oldest and most experienced U.S. Olympian in Tokyo. Dutton is 57, set to be the oldest U.S. Olympian since 2008, and is going to his seventh Olympics. His first three were with his native Australia.
Dutton was also the oldest U.S. Olympian in Rio, where he won individual eventing bronze to become the oldest U.S. Olympic medalist since 1952.
After Dutton is a group of seven athletes set to compete in their fifth Olympics, including gold medalists Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Allyson Felix and Mariel Zagunis.
Swimmer Katie Grimes will be the youngest athlete on the team at age 15. She is set to become the youngest U.S. Olympian — Summer or Winter — since fellow swimmer Katie Ledecky in 2012. Grimes qualified in the same event as Ledecky did nine years ago (and again for Rio and Tokyo) — the 800m freestyle.
Felix is the most decorated athlete on the roster with nine Olympic medals, one shy of the U.S. track and field record held by Carl Lewis. Bird and Taurasi own gold medals from all four of their Olympic events, making them the most successful in an event-for-event ranking on this U.S. team.
Stanford again is the college or university most represented with more than 30 athletes.

You might not know that a payday loan that can be had without good credit can have a positive credit rating for you. Once you have met the qualifications for a payday loan that are a paycheck, you have become a borrower. Your information has been sent to credit agencies that collect information on anyone who borrows using his social security number. Even if you have no credit up until you get a payday loan, you will have a credit rating once you have qualified for a payday loan. If your credit is seriously damaged, you can begin to repair it with a payday loan.
Your repayment of your payday loan will show up favorably in your credit report. It might take some time and patience to rebuild your credit, but you can do it even if you are dealing with a drastic blow to your credit that is bankruptcy. There are instances where people with bankruptcy in their credit report have been offered a credit card that comes with a fee as well as available credit because of some favorable report from a creditor like a payday loan lender. Getting your credit back can take time but it can happen. If you learn to budget your earnings to keep your spending withing its limits, you can get your credit back to normal.
Using payday loans to establish credit might be less expensive than other means of establishing credit. In order to have a credit rating, you must have a prior history of having been given credit. When you repay the money that you have been loaned, that report is sent to credit agencies who prepare a credit report on you and is sent to future creditors that you might apply for credit. Establishing a credit history is something that is definitely what a payday loan can do for you. The potential impact either negative or positive depends on your compliance with the terms of your payday loan as far as repayment is concerned.
Getting a loan means that you have been considered to be a good prospect by a money lender. That is a positive potential impact on your credit score and a payday loan qualifies as a loan given by a money lender. The financial world has many rules and regulations but the primary focus is getting accepted for a loan and repaying that loan. If you can meet those two requisites, your credit will be favorably impacted. However, if you should default on a payday loan, that will be a very serious blow against your qualifying for a loan again.

Japanese food can be intimidating to those uninitiated with all of the things it has to offer. Never fear, for we have a breakdown of standard Japanese fare and what to expect from a Japanese meal. Here's a guide to the basics of what Japanese cuisine has to offer, so you can start to explore some of the more interesting taste combinations and sensations.
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to noodles in Japan. You're also spoiled for choice on how to eat them. You can start with ramen: thin egg noodles that you may be familiar with already. Think of Pot Noodle or Mister Noodle instant noodles. When ordering them from a restaurant in Japan, they'll be significantly fresher and more filling than the instant stuff you've tried before. Usually, they're served in a broth (usually miso-based, though it doesn't have to be) with additions like pork, tuna, sweet corn or seafood. Each area in Japan has it's own version. Ramen with poached eggs, ham and fresh greens is always nice and filling.
Udon noodles are made from wheat flour and are also usually served in some kind of broth, as the broth often serves as a way of cooking the noodles. They're thick and they can be a bit slippery, a real chore for chop sticks. They're hearty, and any chance to try them with tempura (a kind of fluffy, deep-fry style) veggies is not to be missed.
Soba noodles are a bit different from udon noodles, as they're made from buckwheat making them a darker colour (and they're usually thinner as well) than udon noodles. You'll often find soba noodles served cold with different sauces to dip them in, but they can also be served hot, just like udon.
Soup is an important part to Japanese dining. Usually, you'll have soup on the table/your own bowl of soup for your meal. You've probably heard of miso soup. Perhaps you've tried a cloudy bowl with some wakame (a type of seaweed), tofu and green onions. It's much more versatile than that, though. It can be used as a base for ramen, udon and a plethora of meat (often pork) or vegetarian based soups. There's also dashi, a clear-based broth that makes the umami (or savoury taste) of many Japanese dishes. It's made from kelp and fish flakes, giving it a distinctly salty taste. Kenchinjiru is a great soup for vegetarians, as it's usually made vegan, a Buddhist favourite. It's made up primarily of different vegetables, and heavily flavoured with shiitake mushrooms among other tastes.
Sushi and Sashimi are probably the first things that come to mind when you think of Japanese food, and it often serves as a quick lunch for office workers all over Japan. Really though, if you're into seafood and fish, you'll find yourself in heaven in Japan. There's an amazing range of squid, octopus and various other sea creatures that you can eat barbecued, grilled, baked, with rice, in stew… you name it! Generally some form of protein will be the main element to any meal, whether it's yakitori skewers while having a few beers, gyudon (a beef bowl), or some delicious grilled clams.
We'd be remiss if we didn't speak about soy and it's many uses in Japanese cuisine. Tofu and shoyu (soy sauce) can be found in many different dishes. Tofu is often served together with meat (like pork), not as a substitute. Natto is a Japanese dish that takes some getting used to: gelatinous, stinky and stringy, this fermented soybean dish is incredibly healthy.
Mochi is a standard type of Japanese sweet that just about everyone can get on board with. It's made from glutinous rice cake. Think like a very chewy kind of dough made from rice. It's stuffed with various fillings, depending on season and preference. Red bean is a common option, and mochi with red bean paste is called daifuku. You can find kusa mochi (green-coloured and flavoured with mugwort), ichigo daifuku (whole strawberry mochi), and sakura mochi (flavoured with red bean paste and cherry blossoms).
Doryaki, or red bean stuffed pancakes are also a popular choice. You don't have to have red bean inside, but instead you can also have chestnut or whipped cream fillings.
Jellies and dumplings like manju (usually roasted, but they can be baked or fried and filled with a sweetened custard or another type of filling) rule supreme in Japanese cuisine. There are so many that the list is endless!
This basic guide to Japanese cuisine should get you started on your culinary discovery. You'll notice that there are a lot of interesting combinations and ingredients you've never heard of before; all the more reason to dig in and try something different!

Population Estimates for District Electoral Areas by age and sex have been developed primarily by aggregating population estimates for Small Areas using the lookup table available on the NISRA website: https://www.nisra.gov.uk/sites/nisra.gov.uk/files/publications/DEA14-Lookup_0.xls.
However, in a second step, any Small Area that is split by a DEA boundary has had its estimated population attributed to the appropriate DEA on the basis of the proportion of its population within that DEA in the 2011 Census. The allocated proportions have been applied unadjusted throughout the time series (mid-2011 to mid-2017) and are applied equally to each broad age-sex band in the relevant Small Areas.
Further information on the methodology used to produce DEA estimates can be found within the Statistical Bulletin: https://www.nisra.gov.uk/sites/nisra.gov.uk/files/publications/2017%20Mid-year%20Population%20Estimates%20for%20District%20Electoral%20Areas%20-%20statistical%20bulletin.pdf.

Origin of water body in Fairways now known
Tags: community news, HL, latest news
Eileen van der Schyff
In a recent article in Namib Times, the newspaper reported about residents of Fairways in Walvis Bay asking questions as to a body of water forming on an undeveloped piece of land flanked by Tecomaria Street and Nongolo Mbumba Drive.
Namib Times investigated this mystery and found that the water has its origin at a building site near the golf course where a new cell pone tower is to be erected for Telecom Namibia. Walvis Bay poses a peculiar construction challenge when it comes to the digging of foundations. As the foundation is dug out, groundwater levels (sea water) accumulates. The deeper the digging goes, the faster the water accumulates and so also the volumes.
Information provided to the Namib Times reveals the contractor has chosen this particular open plot to establish a coffer dam. Water is pumped from the foundation hole to this coffer dam, resulting in this body of water growing only a few hundred meters from the nearest houses. "It is obvious the contractor opted for the cheapest way to handle large volumes of water. Instead of hauling the water away in tanker trucks, is is pumped into this coffer dam", a disgruntled resident said. Adding, the body of water poses a risk to small children who can drown in the water and it is not known for how long the water would be standing in that coffer dam after the completion of the cell pone tower.
"The ground in the area below the water body is saturated and it will take a long time for the water to dissipate." the resident said. When the contractor was approached with questions, he declined to provide answers.m "Please make an appointment and come and see me at my office. Moreover, on whose behalf do you ask these questions?", this contractor reacted when approached for comment.

'She-Hulk': Krysten Ritter Rumored to Return as Jessica Jones for Disney+ Series!!
January 13, 2021 · by Mirza Baig	· in Features, Superhero, TV.	·
If a new rumor is to be believed, Krysten Ritter may reprise her role as Jessica Jones for Marvel Studios' upcoming She-Hulk series on Disney+.
This rumor comes courtesy of noted industry scooper Daniel Richtman, aka DanielRPK. While this, like all rumors, should obviously be taken with a grain of salt until some sort of official confirmation is given by Marvel or Disney, it should also be noted that Richtman has a fairly reliable track record with his scoops.
Ritter starred as the eponymous character of Marvel's Jessica Jones on Netflix, which ran for three seasons from 2015 to 2019. She also appeared in the Netflix limited series Marvel's The Defenders — a crossover between Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Of course, Netflix infamously canceled the entirety of its Marvel lineup, with the on-screen future of the streaming giant's licensed Marvel characters remaining up in the air ever since.
Due to the nature of Netflix's contract with Marvel/Disney, the rights to these characters were to remain with Netflix for two years following their respective series' cancellation. This is particularly noteworthy, as Jessica Jones was canceled alongside Marvel's The Punisher in February of 2019, meaning, in theory, the rights could default to Disney as early as next month. That being said, while Jessica Jones was officially canceled in February 2019, the show's third and final season did not drop until a few months later in June. At any rate, however, Disney should regain the rights to the character sometime this year. Meanwhile, She-Hulk isn't expected to premiere on Disney+ until 2022 at the earliest.
Rumors of Krysten Ritter potentially returning for She-Hulk come not long after reports surfaced of Daredevil star Charlie Cox potentially reprising his role as Matt Murdock for Marvel Studios' third Spider-Man film. On that note, Daredevil was canceled by Netflix in November of 2018, meaning the rights have likely already defaulted back to Marvel/Disney. DanielRPK explains that the only two Defenders he expects to return under the Marvel Studios banner are Ritter's Jessica Jones and Cox's Daredevil, though he also expects Vincent D'Onofrio to return as Daredevil antagonist Wilson Fisk.
Interestingly enough, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige was asked about the possibility of Netflix-era Marvel shows like Jessica Jones or Luke Cage making a comeback in a recent interview with Deadline. Feige played coy on the matter, saying, "I've been at Marvel long enough to never say never about anything."
Notably, Ritter echoed this sentiment in 2019. While the actor expressed doubt that she'd ever play Jessica Jones again following her show's conclusion, she also said she'd love to return to the role should the opportunity arise. "I would play [Jessica Jones] again in a heartbeat — she's the coolest character ever and I love her!" Ritter wrote. "Hey, you never know what the future holds. As for now I'm so proud of the long run and the deep character work I got to do. It's been a dream and never say never!" At this stage, however, fans will simply have to wait and see what, if anything, comes of these rumors.
Developed by Jessica Gao, Disney+'s She-Hulk stars Tatiana Maslany and Mark Ruffalo. The series has yet to receive a premiere date.
