David Alan McCormick is an American neurobiologist. He holds one of two Presidential chair positions and is director of the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon and co-director of the Neurons to Minds Cluster of Excellence.

Early life and education
McCormick completed his joint Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Physiological Psychology at Purdue University before enrolling at Stanford University for his PhD in Neuroscience.

Career

Yale University
Following his PhD, McCormick became a research assistant and postdoctoral fellow at Stanford before accepting an assistant professor position in the Department of Neurobiology at Yale University. He was eventually promoted to the rank of full professor in 1994 and served as director of graduate studies in neurobiology from 1994 to 1999. As a graduate student at Stanford University, McCormick discovered that the cerebellum was essential for Classical Conditioning of learned movements. His work formed the basis for understanding the neural mechanisms of Pavlovian conditioned responses. In 1984 he was awarded the Donald B. Lindsley Prize for this research. As a professor at Yale University School of Medicine, McCormick studied the function of the cerebral cortex and thalamus including the neural mechanisms of activity generation during sleep and epilepsy, and how neuromodulators control sleep, waking, and arousal. He was subsequently awarded the Senator Jacob Javits Award by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke for his research. Following this award, McCormick's laboratory discovered that "intracortical synaptic communication operates through both an analog and digital mode." As such, he began investigating the mechanisms by which axons and synapses may operate in this regime. McCormick also conducted studies of the thalamus and in sleep and consciousness. In 2008, McCormick was appointed the Dorys McConnell Duberg Professor of Neurobiology. Following his promotion, McCormick found that when one introduces slow oscillation signals into brain tissue, it creates a feedback loop as the changes in electrical field guide neural activity. The McCormick laboratory revealed the neural mechanisms of the Yerkes-Dodson Curve, which posits that there is an optimal level of arousal or attention for performance.

In recognition of his neuroscience research, McCormick was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Later, McCormick was one of four Yale faculty members elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2015. He was specifically recognized for his work in the cellular and network mechanisms of the brain. In 2016, McCormick was recognized by the Connecticut Academy of Science And Engineering and received the Javits Award for the second time.

University of Oregon
McCormick left Yale University in 2017 to become the director of the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon and co-director of the Neurons to Minds Cluster of Excellence.  In 2020, McCormick started teaching Happiness: a Neuroscience and Psychology Perspective which has become one of the largest and most popular elective classes at the university.

Personal life
McCormick is married and has two children.

National Disaster Mitigation Program Supports Flood Prevention and Mitigation in B.C.
Todd Westcott
On Friday, more than $16.5 million in federal and provincial funding was announced to support work on 32 projects under the National Disaster Mitigation Program (NDMP).
Joyce Murray, Member of Parliament for Vancouver Quadra, and Jennifer Rice, Parliamentary Secretary for Emergency Preparedness British Columbia, made the announcement. For these projects, some municipalities and non-government organizations partnered with British Columbia to provide an additional $2.16 million.
"Weather-related natural disasters are getting more severe, more frequent, more damaging and more expensive, threatening the safety of our communities and our economy," said Murray. "Through the National Disaster Mitigation Program, the Government of Canada is protecting the neighbourhood surrounding Vancouver's Locarno Beach from flooding."
Through the NDMP, the Canadian government is working to address rising flood risks and costs and build the foundation for informed investments that could reduce, or even negate, the effects of flooding. Funding is available for risk assessments, flood mapping, mitigation planning, and small-scale mitigation projects, such as storm culverts.
"After two straight years of severe summer wildfires and significant spring flooding, the importance of disaster mitigation and emergency preparedness has never been so clear," said Rice. "This program and partnership with the federal government will help make our cities, towns and villages more resilient in the face of disasters that are increasing in both frequency and severity."
Of the 32 projects announced:
fourteen will provide funding for the completion of risk assessments to inform flood risks for a total of $2.31 million;
five will help communities identify specific impacts of a flood event on structures and people through the development of flood maps for a total of $1.89 million;
two will help communities plan to mitigate against future flooding events for a total of $583,100; and,
eleven will fund small-scale structural mitigation projects for a total of $13.89 million.

This month, confidence coach Sandie explains how to improve your focus at competitions.
In the last six weeks, I've certainly clocked up the air miles, travelling to work with clients in places likes Vienna, Dubai, Madrid and Belfast.
One thing that has struck me is that, no matter where I am or who I'm working with, there seems to be a reoccurring theme.
As I spoke with one of my riders at the Longines final in Dubai, they told me how they found the noise of the crowd distracting and how it stopped them from focussing on their horse.
I'll then speak to other riders that are so focussed on what they're doing, they become utterly obvious to the outside world.
There seem to be two types of people - those who are in, and those who are out.
In stressful situations, do you find yourself being distracted by everything around you? Every squawking child with a balloon or barking dog?
Or are you oblivious to everything going on in the outside world - including the things you should be paying the most attention to (including other riders in the warm up)? You might find you hear a negative voice inside your head every time you make a mistake.
For those of you distracted by the world around you, here my three top tips that I use with my international clients that really work.
Choose just one thing to work on with your horse. Riding the perfect corner perhaps, or concentrating on balance or rhythm. It's important to make it just one thing.
Focus on your breathing and choose a part of your body beneath your chest that you would like your breath to travel to.
Allow yourself to focus on one point in the arena, make your self notice each and every time you pass it when you warm up.
This will soon become boring and a chore so your mind will gladly give it up and focus on the job in hand.
Place the tip of your tongue against the back of your top teeth for one minute at a time. This disables the brains capacity to make words so it bring a beautifully calm sensation with it.
Head up, chest up and look around you. Challenge yourself to notice things of the same colour, or a dog of the same breed in the crowd. This helps open our awareness and helps to silence any negative thoughts.
Lots of you told me that time management was a large factor holding you back from achieving your riding dreams.
As a full-time working/riding mum and wife myself, I get just how crazy life gets.
With this in mind, I've worked really hard to design a confidence course that you can do in your own time to make you feel more confident than ever.
During the eight-week week course, I'll share with you the same techniques that I use with my international riders.
For the next few days there's an early-bird discount at sandierobertson.com, so don't miss out!

What appears to be the production version of the 2017 Ford SVT Raptor was spied driving around on the road with no camo and a bunch of badging Spotted by TFLTruck.com, the 2017 Raptor was out in Colorado, completely void of any camo, however, it did have some markings on it that did raise a few questions.
Suspicious Markings = Later Release Date?
On the rear window of the truck, there was a "2017.5 TT" sticker that no one can quite figure out. One would assume "2017" is calling out the model year, but the ".5" that follows raises the question if this is going to be a mid-year release, essentially pushing back the release date. It may only be a testing label, but it is still questionable. It hasn't been confirmed as of yet, but production of the new 2017 Raptor was rumored to begin this month.
It is interesting that the TT is also included in that, leaving enthusiasts to wonder if the "TT" stands for twin turbo (which the new Raptor is) or if it is some cryptic identifier for Ford.
Based of the pictures captured by TFLTrucks.com, it looks like the F-150 Raptor's Tail Lights received some slight revisions since we've last seen them. The tail lights use a new design that integrates a vertical, elongated LED blinker; not a bad look for the next-gen Raptor. Unlike the Chinese Raptor that was spotted in Michigan a few months ago, the American version of the Raptor uses LED style headlights and tail lights for a menacing look.
What are your thoughts on the markings and lights on this Raptor? Do they speak to design changes and possible production delays or are we getting our first glimpse of a 2017 Raptor running on the street?


The GOP thrives on stoking fears of the American public. And with the Orlando tragedy, they can conveniently hide their homophobia behind Islamophobia.
On a warm Florida night, not far from the lights of Disneyworld, men and women danced in a crowded gay club called Pulse on LGBTQ Pride weekend. It was Saturday night and the venue was packed. That night, as every Saturday night, was devoted to Latin music; in crowded rooms people were laughing, drinking and dancing. We all know what happened next. Omar Mateen, a young man armed with a semi-automatic weapon, entered the club and opened fire. Peppered with his bullets, bodies began to fall, a grotesque game of dominoes, played with human lives. Before Mateen could be stopped and before he was shot dead by the policemen that arrived at the scene, he called 911. In that call, Mateen, born and raised in the United States, pledged his support to ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. It took hours to count the bodies; it was the deadliest mass shooting in recent history, with 49 people dead and 53 wounded, a tearful trail of families and friends left to mourn them.
The next day, the talk was of ISIS. Solemn-faced politicians, eager to whet America's fears, took to the media, prodded with questions by equally eager anchors. Many who had until a week ago been fighting the noble cause of keeping transgender individuals out of women's bathrooms now expressed condolences for the dead and wounded. Against the murderous homophobia of Omar Mateen, their own bigotry, their failure to support marriage equality, their refusal of civil rights and equal protection to LGBTQ individuals, was suddenly lesser, routine, forgettable. Fear of the LGBTQ person that had just a day earlier provoked a man to leave a bomb in the women's restroom of a Target store because of its refusal to bar transgender individuals from them, was now trumped by fear of the Muslim.
In a 1985 essay entitled "Here Be Dragons and Freaks and the American Ideal of Manhood," the author James Baldwin said, "Freaks are called freaks and are treated as they are treated, abominably because they are human beings who cause to echo our most profound terrors and desires." In the essay, Baldwin, who identified as gay, Black, and androgynous, points to his habitation of two categories: Black and "homosexual," both of which represent threats to an American mainstream dominated by the white and heterosexual. It was terrifying for Americans to consider that there were more homosexuals in their society than they thought, Baldwin wrote, given that many then considered homosexuality to be a disease. His words are still true today. In November 2015, Pastor Kevin Swanson of the National Religious Liberties Conference asked his followers to attend LGBTQ weddings and hold up signs saying gay and lesbian couples should be put to death. And just a few weeks before Orlando, Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association, railed against the Obama administration's decision requiring public schools to permit transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice and endorsed Donald Trump, who, after the attack, smugly reiterated his ban on Muslims coming to the United States (ignoring that the killer was born in the U.S.), never mentioning that before the Orlando attack, 31 percent of his supporters in the South Carolina said they supported a similar ban on homosexuals.
In its aftermath, the gruesome attack in Orlando has accomplished for Americans a slick interchange of terror. The fear of the immoral LGBTQ person replaced with the fear of the terrorist Muslim. Even while FBI officials stated that there was no proven link between Omar Mateen and ISIS, that information was sidelined as were any facts that pointed away from the foreign and Muslim and to the ordinary and homegrown. No one was interested in the ex-wife's statement that Mateen—who had reportedly repeatedly beat and terrorized her—may have been bi-polar, even fewer in the possibility that he shared far more proclivities with mass-murderers like Charleston killer Dylann Roof. The likelihood that the killer may simply have pledged allegiance to ISIS to brand his brutality, to a group that would grant him posthumous notoriety, was never considered.
There is grave danger in exchanging America's hatred of LGBTQ people for its fear of Muslim terrorism. The first is neither eliminated nor overcome by the inflation of the other. In the sad aftermath of Orlando, a procession of political and intellectual figures have lined on television screens expressing condolences. Their sorrow must not be mistaken for solidarity; while visibly sad and sorry, they offer no commitments to recognize the equality of LGBTQ Americans, the extension of civil-rights protections sexual orientation or, even better, prosecution of hate crimes against them. In sum, LGBTQ individuals deserve protection from Muslim extremism but not the right to use the bathroom of their choice or have legal recourse when they are fired for being gay.

Kayaking in Northampton County
It doesn't get much better than this! Photo credit: William Dyas
Kayak Launches:
Kayak launches provide a mechanism to facilitate people getting in and out of their kayaks. Oyster Harbor has one such kayak launch with more planned for other points in Northampton County. The boat ramps and kayak launch in Oyster are free and open to the public. They are maintained by Northampton County. If you are heading out on the Seaside Water Trail in a kayak, Oyster is a great place to start.
A bar helps to hold the boat steady as you load into or unload from the kayak.
The kayak launch is located to the right of the public boat ramps in Oyster Harbor.
For more information about boat ramps in Northampton County please visit our Boat Ramps page.
For more information about the Virginia Seaside Water Trail - Oyster Harbor Launch Site please visit the Virginia DEQ Coastal Zone Management website. This will give you specific directions about heading out into the seaside water trail and what to expect along the way plus tips for all levels of paddling.

The Virginia Seaside Water Trail was developed by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program in 2006. This 100 mile long water trail is a series of day-use paddling routes. There are 37 routes available for all skill levels.
According to the Virginia DEQ Coastal Zone Management website,
"The Seaside Water Trail runs between the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge at Cape Charles and Chincoteague Island. Additional trail segments go through Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and connect to Assateague National Seashore and the Assateague Canoe Trail. The Seaside Water Trail branches off at Chincoteague Island and ends at the Village of Greenbackville near the Virginia/Maryland state line."
For a comprehensive guide about the routes and launch sites visit Coastal Zone Management Seaside Water Trail website.
The Seaside Water Trail on-line guide provides:
Seaside Water Trail Map
Descriptions of 12 beginner or leisurely routes, 10 intermediate routes, and 15 advanced routes.

Bring emergency supplies of water, food, bug repellent, sunscreen, flashlight, and whistle before you head out.
Northampton County's barrier islands are among its most important and unique natural resources. For centuries, they played a major role in the history, economy, and culture of the area. Although there once were small fishing villages and hunting lodges on the islands, today they are uninhabited. Most of the islands are included in the Virginia Coast Reserve, which is an island and salt marsh preserve owned by The Nature Conservancy of Arlington, Virginia. The Virginia Coast Reserve has been designated an International Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations in recognition of the importance and fragility of the ecosystem. Northampton County's islands, together with contiguous islands in neighboring Accomack County, represent the last undeveloped barrier island system on the Atlantic Coast.
There are twelve barrier islands in Northampton County. Hog, Rogue, Cobb, Little Cobb, Ship Shoal, Godwin, Myrtle, Mink, and Smith Islands are mostly owned by The Nature Conservancy.
The Commonwealth of Virginia owns Mockhorn and Wreck Islands. Fisherman's Island, on the tip of the peninsula, is owned by the Federal government and is part of the Eastern Shore National Wildlife Refuge. The Nature Conservancy has specific rules regarding the use of the islands they own. Most of the islands are open to the public for low-impact, non-commercial, recreational day use (hiking, bird watching and fishing). Motorized vehicles, pets, and overnight camping activities are prohibited. There are also seasonal restrictions to protect nesting birds.
The barrier islands play a number of important roles in Northampton County including: protection from storms as buffers to dissipate the energy of the ocean; economic benefits including commercial and recreational fishing; recreation including fishing, hunting, crabbing, clamming, hiking, boating, and bird watching; and nature study as an educational resource, increasing awareness of the importance and rarity of the island system, and protection of threatened species, offering sanctuary to many species of birds, mammals, and reptiles that are threatened or endangered.
The islands are dynamic in nature; migrating westward over the past 160 years. Because the Virginia Coast Reserve is gaining national and international attention as one of America's last remaining intact barrier island systems, Northampton County benefits through research and educational programs centered around the island system. The University of Virginia has established a National Science Foundation Long Term Ecological Research Center in Northampton County and established its headquarters in the Village of Oyster. Most of the barrier islands are included either in the Virginia Coast Reserve, the Federal National Wildlife System, or the Virginia Natural Areas Program, but even limited development on any of the islands would drastically alter the system scientifically and aesthetically.
In managing the barrier island system, biological diversity has been the priority. It is important to recognize that the island system functions as an interdependent whole. The system includes related natural communities of beaches, dunes, upland forest, extensive salt marshes, bays, creeks, guts, unvegetated wetlands, mainland salt marshes, and any seaside mainland which is part of the watershed.

The Chesapeake Bay
"The largest estuary in North America, the Chesapeake Bay Watershed covers 64,000 square miles and includes more than 150 rivers and streams that drain into the Bay. More than 300 species of fish, shellfish and crab species and a wide array of other wildlife call the Bay home. With almost 30 percent of area in agricultural production, the region's over 83,000 farms generate more than $10 billion annually. The watershed encompasses parts of six states—Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia—and the entire District of Columbia."

John Smith Historic Water Trail
In December of 2006, Congress designated the historic routes of John Smith's explorations as the first historic national water trail. The trail includes parts of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia and is approximately 3,000 miles long. A portion of the trail runs along the part of the Seaside in Magothy Bay and then along the entire Bayside of Northampton County.
Visit the National Park Service website for information about the John Smith Historic Water Trail with loads of historical information!
This video was produced for the National Park Service to promote the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. Video was set up as a looped display for interpretive centers around the Chesapeake Bay region.

Count the birds: Public urged to join global initiative
Published on SundayTimes on 17.02.2019 http://www.sundaytimes.lk/190217/news/count-the-birds-public-urged-to-join-global-initiative-336547.html
As the annual initiative, Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) from February 15-18–where birdwatchers around the world are invited to count and report details of birds in the area in which they live– marks its last day tomorrow, a veteran ornithologist here has said it was important to keep a tab on what are regarded as common birds too.
Prof. Sarath Kotagama says that while many are concerned about the declining numbers of rare birds, the numbers of common birds, too, could dip towards extinction without anyone realising it and, therefore, it was important to take a count of those birds too.
The latest 'State of the World Birds' report published by BirdLife International reveals that while highly threatened species continue to go extinct, what were once considered common and widespread species too are in sharp decline. At least 40% of bird species worldwide (3,967) have declining populations, compared with 44% that are stable (4,393) according to the report.
"As the birds around are mostly common ones, even an amateur birdwatcher can identify most of the birds around us. So the public too can join in such citizen science initiatives such as the GBBC and make note of the common birds which can be an indicator of the state of the environment," Prof.Kotagama explained.

The global Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) is a citizen science project conducted annually in mid-February. During this four-day event birdwatchers around the world are invited to count and report details of birds in the area in which they live.
The Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka (FOGSL) based at Colombo University urges Sri Lankan birders also to participate in GBBC. "The migratory birds are still in Sri Lanka in mid-February, hence the timing of the GBBC is good to get an annual snapshot of birds here," FOGSL president Dr.Sampath Seneviratne said.
"The GBBC is also a great opportunity to introduce not just adults, but children too to birding and build greater awareness of our biodiversity and its conservation. So get your kids to participate in this event," urges Dr.Seneviratne.
Meanwhile pointing out that the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) has announced its first coordinated flamingo count in the region on February 23 and 24, Dr.Seneviratne said that FOGSL will carry out a similar programme here too on the same days. He invites birdwatchers here to be a part of the programme by calling the FOGSL hotline on 0789330076. The Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus rosues) is a common winter visitor to Sri Lanka, and birdwatchers and wildlife photographers flock to Mannar and other northern regions to get a glimpse of the spectacular gathering of hundreds of these birds.

How to participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count
Participants are asked to count birds for as little as 15 minutes on one or more days of the four-day event and upload their sightings on eBird (http://www.ebird.org).
If you find it difficult to access eBird, make a list of the birds seen around in your area their numbers and details of the location, sounds etc and email to gardenbirdwatch.srilanka@gmail.com urges FOGSL or call their hotline 0789330076 for any assistance.

Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Leicester City FC Preview & Analysis
Tottenham Hotspur is going to be hosting Leicester City in a very important match for the hosts. Tottenham is currently in 5th place, just two points behind Arsenal, and still has a realistic chance of finishing fourth. That will ensure it gets Champions League football next year, a big boost for the club. Its opponent, Leicester City, is smack bang middle of the table right now. It is in tenth place and is going to finish in the middle of the table so this match does not really have much significance for it.
We have seen goals being scored most times when Leicester and Tottenham have played against each other and another exciting game could be in store. The football betting sites in India and abroad are all favoring Tottenham to win this match quite easily. The odds available to bet on it are certainly quite short.
Still, bettors must not forget that Tottenham has failed to win its previous two matches and does not come into this match in the best of form.
Match prediction and football betting tips for Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City Premier League 2021-22. The match is going to be played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London on the 1st of May 2022.
Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Leicester City FC Betting Tips
Tottenham has to win this match otherwise it will probably be left with too much to do to try and get past Arsenal. This is something that will give it clarity of thought especially since it has a bit of cushion over Manchester United in 6th place as well. We expect Kane and Son to come out with a license to take chances. A lot of shots from Tottenham are expected and this is one betting market that you can look for.
Similarly, Leicester also does not have to worry about losing too much and can play attacking football to try and take advantage of the high line that Tottenham will have to play. We think an exciting match is in store with Tottenham emerging victorious in the end.
Bet on Tottenham Hotspur to win.
History shows that goals are always on the table when Tottenham and Leicester play each other. We have seen Over 2.5 goals being scored in four out of the previous five matches that they have played against each other. The same is true for three of Tottenham's last five matches and five of Leicester's last eight matches.
We are happy to take a punt on the same being the case this time around.

These seven traditional and three original Christian songs have a rich and innocent tone that will lure you home to the arms of Jesus.
Sarah and her husband, Josh, are both Kansas natives. Sarah (Bogner) Holthusen is from Kingman and Josh is from Atchison. After having met on their first day in college, getting married three years later, and then graduating, they moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Along the way, they wrote a ton of songs and made some lifelong friends. They pursued their musical dreams in Nashville for nearly seven years. While living there, they had two children, and after their second child was born, they decided that they wanted to move back to Kansas so their children could grow up knowing their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Since moving back, they have added three more children to their family. They now have five boys…Joseph, Matthew, Luke, Noah and Elijah. They now live, write, sing, play and raise their boys from the heartland in Wichita, Kansas. They perform shows, sing and play for weddings, businesses, fairs, churches, functions, etc. If nothing else….they just sing their little boys lullabies as they drift off to sleep.

Commonwealth Global 1940 (Canada Rules)
oztea last edited by
The ANZAC pieces (Dark Grey) are used to represent the new power "UK Commonwealth"
The commonwealth takes one turn, but has a split economy. The Economies are:
10 IPCs : ANZAC; Capital is Sidney (all territories marked with the ANZAC roundel)
7 IPCs :Canada; Capital is Ottawa (all territoreis marked with the Canadian roundel)
The following rule changes are made to accomidate the new Commonweath power
Game Mechanics:
Commonwealth forces may choose to conqer enemy territory on behalf of the United Kingdom power instead of themselves if they desire. The Commonwealth may assume control of United Kingdom territory as if it was Dutch if the UK capital in that theatre has been captured.
Do not place United Kingdom Units in Ontario, Quebec, or Sea Zone 106 during setup. Instead follow this setup for Canada, using Commonwealth (Dark Grey) units
British Columbia - 1 Infantry
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba - 1 Infantry
Ontario - 1 Infantry, 1 Fighter, Air Base
Quebec - 1 Infantry, 1 Tank, Minor Industrial Complex
New Brunswick/Nova Scotia - Naval Base
United Kingdom - 1 Infantry
Sea Zone 1 - Destroyer
Sea Zone 120 - Transport
Sea Zone 106 - Destroyer, Transport
National Objectives:
Replace the United Kingdom "control all original territory" objective with:
a) 5 IPCs for the European economy if all Canadain territories are controled, as well as Egypt and Gibraltar and Sea Zone 109 is free of enemy ships.
b) 5 IPCs for the Pacifc economy (India) if all ANZAC territories are controled, as well as Malya and Kwangtung and Sea Zone 39 is free of enemy ships.
Commonwealth:
The ANZAC economy benifits from its normal National Objectives, these IPCs go to the ANZAC economy only. The Canadain economy can benifit from the following National Objectives:
5 IPCs if all European Allied convoy zones are free of enemy ships
(Convy zones adjacent to a currently controled Allied territory on the Europe game board)
3 IPCs if the United States is at war with the Axis Powers
The Commonwealth conducts research and development as a single power.
The United Kingdom European economy begins the game at 23, the Pacific economy begins the game at 15.
Use ANZAC roundels (or the "union jack" roundel) to denote Canadian conquests.

sounds good,any thing to slow down the allies is fine with me
cressman8064 last edited by
I love this idea because I too feel that the allies have a slight advantage in the global game, one interesting thought is maybe upgrading British Columbia territory into 2 IPC territory, then Canada would have an option of building a minor factory or more important, give them a 8 IPC total for early destroyer builds.
A second thought, would this commonwealth nation share any technology breakthroughs?
Yes Commonwealth shares Tech, for simplicitys sake
I do not endorse changing territory values, for simplicitys sake
There is no need for a pacific factory for canada, that is simply ahistorical, I gave Canada a destroyer in the pacific, which will likely just join the ANZAC fleet.
Also, Canada is fairly weak at setup, so I tweaked it slightly
Quebec - 1 Infantry, 1 Tank, 1 Artillery, Naval Base, Minor Industrial Complex
New Brunswick/Nova Scotia - 1 Infantry
Sea Zone 106 - Destroyer, Cruiser, Transport
More units were added to insulate against the early IPC deffiency of Canada, The port in New Brunswick/Nova Scotia was moved to nearby Quebec, which services the northern sea zones as well. This is important because the transport in SZ 106 "can" make it to United Kingdom on Commonweath turn 2 to protect against a G3 Sea-Lion.
Also the fleet in 106 was beefed up to insulate against it being killed quickly on G1.
Though I may just put another destroyer in SZ 120
I think this idea of splitting the UK's income is great for balance purpose. There will now be a second Atlantic ally if London does fall, but it can't be ignored that you've added 68IPC worth of units/facilities to Canada and not a single unit to Germany/Italy. Perhaps some more Baltic subs in zone 114 for Germany or a destroy for Italy anything to help fine tune the changes.

I haven't come up with any homebrew rules yet, but this summer when I was making the customized roundels for my Global game I decided to use a single design that would apply to all the Commonwealth dominion forces: a plain blue circle on a white background. (You can see them being used for Canada, Australia and New Zealand [and for territories under their jurisdictions or mandates] in the "Right side" picture I've posted here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=20658.0)
The original idea was that this common roundel would be used by the six dominions to which the 1931 Statute of Westminster applied (Canada, Newfoundland, Eire, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand) and that the ANZAC sculpts from Pacific 1940 would be the ones used in common by these forces. I later decided that Eire shouldn't be included in my list because it technically remained neutral during the war. The other five locations all contributed substantial forces to the war effort, so I've been applying the common roundel to all of them – even though, strictly speaking, Australia didn't ratify the Statute until 1942, New Zealand didn't ratify it until 1947, and Newfoundland never ratified it at all and was under direct British rule from 1934 to 1939.
where can i download a good commonwealth roundel ? and would it not be a good idea to add south africa to the commonwealth

if Canada is a separate power, then aren't you taking too much away from the UK on both sides of the board? i mean now Europe UK has 23 and Pac UK has 15. 15 makes for an uneven buy and also a weak euro UK. in either global or Europe, the UK barely has enough to fight with what it has let alone a weaker economy. i like it but i don't think it would work
True, taking away from the UK is a dangerous move, it weakens the already weak UK
However, for true historical buffs the addition of Canada is desirable.
Also, taking away from the UK also gives to Canada. Early game this is not visible, but in these rules it is slightly easier for the UK to collect its National Objectives. Also Canada can collect its National objectives and has some troop reserves it can bring to UK instead of spending on units only.
There is a total of 13 Allied IPCs in the european theatre that usually arent there
5 for Gibraltar, Egypt and 109 free of axis units INSTEAD of "hold all UK territory"
5 for Canada if no allied european convoys are under threat
and 3 for canada if the US is at war with the axis
It slows down the allies, but they eventualy catch up. They then have to attack multinationaly but thats the nature of the beast.
I havent tried these rules yet, and they may be very clunky. But it is the best shot at having a canadian power in the game, using the tools at hand. (grey infantry and new "simple" rules)
I've got my Canadian Roundels printed and glued to the back of surplus American roundels, but before I play my first game I was look over the set-up, and I actually don't like moving the Naval base, there is just no way a ship departing from Hudson bay should be able to move 3 spaces, those are mostly undeveloped coastlines. Halifax was the port almost all Canadian ships departed from, so I will test my game that way. Another interesting thought was perhaps adding the Island of Newfoundland to the map and moving the Ontario airbase there. The title of Newfoundland is in fact printed over the Labrador half of the province, this territory would still be British owned but Canada could fly it's fighter over for scrambling purposes or even more important, this island is the launch pad for America fighters into UK. Any thoughts?
The port is moved for gameplay purposes, History must take a back seat sometimes. So that Canadian land units can make it to England BEFORE G3, which is the earliest a mathmaticly sucessfull sealion can be attempted.
Also, the Air Base in Ontario ensures that figher can get to UK BEFORE G3.
These units go to Iceland & SZ 123 on Commonwealth 1, then can move to UK to assist it if it under duress
Since I have taken away so much from UK it is only fair to ensure that some canadain units can get to the UK before a Sea Lion
The Canadian Cruiser in SZ 106 makes that fleet too strong.
The power should have another destroyer instead of the Cruiser.
Remove the Cruiser, add a destroyer to SZ 116
I played a game of Europe 1940 with the Canada as the 5th ally. I gave them the IPC for British Columbia as well just for good measure. Overall their performance wasn't groundbreaking. Canada1 the transport moved down to South America and Can2 they took Brazil. Germany threatened sealoin but never built more than 2 extra transports. Can3 saw another transport join the fleet ready to move the 6 IMF into Africa. Turn4 US came into sz 91 in force and moved across north Africa US was massive in comparasion & did most of the work. Canada was up to 12IPC with Brazil & a NO but was more of a pain have to build in Quebec with such low income. Axis still surrendered by round 8 as Italy performed poorly never holding Egypt more than a turn and a very weak med fleet obliterated by US early. Being a Canadian myself I loved having them in the game but it won't be a permanent addition.
One thing to change for a NO would be a plus 5 for no axis warships in the 8 sz between Canada and UK. I can't remember the #'s but that would help the income later in the game
The only reason I wanted to change the NO is it hard to see how a convoy raid of Italian warships in Egypt would disrupt the Canadian economy. The Atlantic seazones free makes more sence but as far a KISS rule the current NO is better

anyone else try these rules?
Culliganator last edited by
I am looking at my board and I do not see how placing an airbase on Ontario helps. It takes five moves to get to Iceland as opposed to four from Atlantic Canada. The same is true for the port. Historically the port at Halifax Nova Scotia was used for most convoy departures (including US departures as well). I would put the airbase on the island of Newfoundland as that was where planes left North America en route to Iceland. I don't know why the board was labelled the way it was, It should be "Atlantic" or "Maritime" Canada instead of "New Brunswick/Nova Scotia" and the island of Newfoundland could be labelled properly and be similar to a Sicily or Corsica with a UK marker on it since Newfoundland was not part of Canada until 1949. There should be a minor factory on both Ontario and Quebec. Canada was converted into a weapons manufacturing machine during world war two. Canada was the chief overseas supplier to Britain during the war. Coupled with vast resources I would say giving British Columbia an IPC value of two is fair.

just some suggestions, but maybe the rule should say, that you can only non combat move through a narrow strait if both adjacent territories are not hostile. They can be friendly, neutral or yours, but they can not be hostile. Now, if one or both adjacent territories are hostile, you must combat move through that narrow strait. I dont know exactly how this should be played out, but I believe the owner of the hostile territory should be able to scramble fighters, and the attacker can of course use his fighters as escort, just like in the real war Channel Dash. Maybe even a minefield rule, but 2 or less as hits are too much, maybe each 1 is a hit, same as AA fire. We could even use some modified rules from A&A Guadalcanal and let Artillery units on land act as coastal guns and fire at the ships. The only drawback would be like you want to cross the English Channel, but Germany has stacked like 20 Artillery units in Normandy, or something.
1940 Units in 1914?
House Rules • • amanntai
@CWO: Interesting hypothetical scenario. It raises all sorts of questions, both from a point of view of weapons technology and politics. Assuming that WWI had lasted for another 20 years (meaning, I assume, 20 more years after 1918, which brings us to 1938, one year short of the starting date of WWII), weapons technology would certainly have progressed further and faster (though not necessarily in the same directions) than it did historically. To quote one example as an illustration, just look at the classes of battleships and battlecruisers that many WWI combatants had planned or were actually building at the time the war ended in 1918, but which were then abandoned. The British, for instance, were planning a class of battleships armed with 18-inch guns that would probably have entered service in the early 1920s; in the real world, it was only in the early 1940s that an 18-inch gun battleship class (the Yamatos) entered service. Many of the weapons that achieved maturity in WWII existed in WWI, albeit at the infancy stage – notably tanks and aircraft carriers. The same was true of certain tactics: had the war lasted until 1919, there were plans on the Allied side to mount attacks by massed tanks working in close coordination with motorized infantry and aircraft support…essentially an early version of Blitzkrieg. However, even though I can see some WWII-type weapons being used on the WWI game board under such a scenario, the part I think is problematic is the political element: the idea that the same 8 powers who are the contestants in the A&A 1914 game could still all be in existence, and still fighting each other, in 1938. Remember, after all, that three of those states – Tsarist Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire – were already politically and/or economically unstable in 1914. Russia had already seen one revolution against the Romavov dynasty in 1906, and this had done nothing to persuade Nicolas II to liberalize his regime. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was a mish-mash of restless ethnic groups led by an elderly ruler who, like Nicolas II, believed in absolute monarchy. The Ottoman Empire had been in decline for a long time, and its leaders were both divided and paralyzed by indecision. Frankly, I'm surprised that Russia managed to last till 1917 and the other two until 1918, so I don't see any of those regimes surviving a further two decades of war. I said another 20 years was highly improbable for the very reason of political (as well as economic) instability. I highly doubt the war could have gone on for twenty more years without several nations collapsing from the strain. But as you correctly pointed out, technology would have advanced much faster had the war continued. I know for example that Thompson sub-machine guns were developed during WW1, but never saw action, and that they would later be used in WW2. So let's say the war only goes on for another 2 or 3 years. This would bring many weapons used in WW2 into the conflict. Now that we have a somewhat alternate-historical basis, can we design rules for allowing WW2 era A&A units such as TcB, StrB, MechInf, and CVs? As I've said, I haven't actually played 1914, but I know there's a rule for when tanks can actually be built, could a similar rule be implemented for other units? I plan to buy 1914 and try it out.

10 'n' Pole players, post your picks for the 18th race of the season in Austin.
You can log-in to the 10 'n' Pole site and submit your picks at then paste your picks here and tell us why you think your picks will be the correct ones.
The deadline for submitting the picks is the start of Saturday practice 22/10/2015. That is at 10:00 Austin time (15:00 GMT).
Here are my guesses. At some point it's likely Hamilton will beat Rosberg again, and the US was, I think, a stronger race for Hamilton at the end of last year than some others (from memory, Rosberg, after being beaten to the title, had a pretty good tail end of the year).
I'm pretty much in agreement with your thinking. here's me picks"
2. Rosberg, wouldn't it be fun if, say, Max squeezed him off in turn one?
Well Thaddeus and Oregon, here are my picks.
I could be a little out as I have seen practice and the Red Bulls are definitely the next best to the Mercedes at this track.
The race will tell but I am impressed by both your picks.

Die AAA (Autos, Avus, Attraktionen) war eine von 1978 bis zum Jahr 2000, ab 1982 jeweils im Oktober stattfindende Automesse in Berlin.

Geschichte
1951 wechselte die Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) von Berlin zur Messe Frankfurt über. Bis 1976 konnte im Rahmen der Deutschen Industrieausstellung eine alle zwei Jahre stattfindende kleine Berliner Autoschau gezeigt werden. Erst 1978 rief die AMK Berlin eine eigenständige Ausstellung unter dem Namen AAA – Autos, Avus, Attraktionen ins Leben. Sie sollte, wie bereits die IAA, weiterhin im Zweijahresrhythmus auf dem Messegelände unter dem Funkturm abgehalten werden. 1982 kam es zur Umbenennung in AAA Berlin – Die Schau rund um das Auto, bei der die Avus nicht mehr ins Rahmenprogramm mit einbezogen wurde. 1988 erhielt sie erstmals die Bezeichnung AAA'88 – Auto-Ausstellung-Berlin.

Mit der Deutschen Wiedervereinigung 1990 stieg die Messe zu einer wichtigen Veranstaltung für die deutsche und internationalen Automobilindustrie auf. Die vom 6. bis 14. Oktober stattfindende AAA'90 war die erste Auto-Ausstellung im vereinigten Deutschland und zog 250 in- und ausländische Aussteller aus 16 Ländern an, die sich auf rund  Fläche präsentierten, darunter alle deutschen Hersteller und die wichtigsten internationalen Marken von Rang. Die Ausstellung mit mehr als 250.000 Besuchern, davon etwa 45.000 Fachbesucher, stellte einen bis dahin neuen Publikumsrekord auf.  der Zuschauer sollten nach Schätzungen der Veranstalter zufolge aus den Neuen Bundesländern gekommen sein.

Die letzte Ausstellung fand im Jahr 2000 statt. Die für 2002 geplante Messe musste wegen fehlender Nachfrage bei den Ausstellern abgesagt werden.

Magic News December 7, 2004
Randi to Psychics: Not So Fast
James ?Amazing? Randi is featured in a Reuters syndicated segment for his reiteration of the $1,000,000.00 challenge to all alleged psychics. Mr. Randi is passionate about his war on those who would dupe the unsuspecting public into believing spiritualism or psychic powers are valid.
Mr. Randi traces his antipathy towards the paranormalists to his visit as a 15 year old boy magician to a Toronto Spiritualist church.
He told reporters that even as a young magician, he could detect the less than supernatural manner in which the mediums were accomplishing their effects. He was upset at the congregation?s gullability. His attempts at enlightening the churchgoers cost him four hours questioning at the police station.
Mr. Randi will not back down. "It's a very dangerous thing to believe in nonsense. You're giving away your money to the charlatans, you're giving away your emotional security, and sometimes your life." Mr. Randi was interviewed by Reuters before he lectured a group in Stockholm.
Mr. Randi is apparently in no danger of having to pay-off on his $1,000,000.00 wager. Interestingly, those who try and fail to perform their psychic powers under Randi?s test conditions do not usually change their minds. They still believe, honestly, they have their claimed psychic powers. ?No one ever changes their mind," he said, recalling only one single case throughout the years where a man backed down from his claim after being tested.
Mr. Randi is not popular with the psychic crowd. "I get threats all the time. I don't answer the door unless I know who's there," he told Reuters. His book The Truth about Uri Geller has been the subject of litigation with the Israeli psychic. The process has been expensive but the book keeps selling.

Q: Sum consecutive observations in a dataset SAS I have a dataset that looks like:
  Hour    Flag
    1       1
    2       1
    3       .
    4       1
    5       1
    6       .
    7       1
    8       1
    9       1
    10      .
    11      1
    12      1
    13      1
    14      1

I want to have an output dataset like:
   Total_Hours   Count
        2          2
        3          1
        4          1

As you can see, I want to count the number of hours included in each period with consecutive "1s".  A missing value ends the consecutive sequence.
How should I go about doing this? Thanks!

A: You'll need to do this in two steps.  First step is making sure the data is sorted properly and determining the number of hours in a consecutive period:
PROC SORT DATA = <your dataset>;
  BY hour;
RUN;

DATA work.consecutive_hours;
  SET <your dataset> END = lastrec;

  RETAIN
    total_hours 0
  ;

  IF flag = 1 THEN total_hours = total_hours + 1;
  ELSE
    DO;
      IF total_hours > 0 THEN output;
      total_hours = 0;
    END;
  /* Need to output last record */
  IF lastrec AND total_hours > 0 THEN output;

  KEEP
    total_hours
  ;
RUN;

Now a simple SQL statement:
PROC SQL;
  CREATE TABLE work.hour_summary AS
  SELECT
    total_hours
   ,COUNT(*) AS count
  FROM
    work.consecutive_hours
  GROUP BY
    total_hours
  ;
QUIT;

A: You will have to do two things:

*

*compute the run lengths

*compute the frequency of the run lengths

For the case of using the implict loop

*

*Each run length occurnece can be computed and maintained in a retained tracking variable, testing for a missing value or end of data for output and a non missing value for run length reset or increment.

*Proc FREQ
An alternative is to use an explicit loop and a hash for frequency counts.
Example:
data have; input
Hour    Flag; datalines;
  1       1
  2       1
  3       .
  4       1
  5       1
  6       .
  7       1
  8       1
  9       1
  10      .
  11      1
  12      1
  13      1
  14      1
;

data _null_;
  declare hash counts(ordered:'a');
  counts.defineKey('length');
  counts.defineData('length', 'count');
  counts.defineDone();

  do until (end);
    set have end=end;

    if not missing(flag) then
      length + 1;

    if missing(flag) or end then do;
      if length > 0 then do;
        if counts.find() eq 0
          then count+1;
          else count=1;
        counts.replace();
        length = 0;
      end;
    end;
  end;

  counts.output(dataset:'want');
run;

A: An alternative
data _null_;
   if _N_ = 1 then do;
      dcl hash h(ordered : "a");
      h.definekey("Total_Hours");
      h.definedata("Total_Hours", "Count");
      h.definedone();
   end;

   do Total_Hours = 1 by 1 until (last.Flag);
      set have end=lr;
      by Flag notsorted;
   end;

   Count = 1;

   if Flag then do;
      if h.find() = 0 then Count+1;
      h.replace();
   end;

   if lr then h.output(dataset : "want");
run;

A: Several weeks ago, @Richard taught me how to use DOW-loop and direct addressing array. Today, I give it to you.
data want(keep=Total_Hours Count);

  array bin[99]_temporary_;
  do until(eof1);
    set have end=eof1;
    if Flag then count + 1;
    if ^Flag or eof1 then do;
      bin[count] + 1;
      count = .;
    end;
  end;

  do i = 1 to dim(bin);
    Total_Hours = i;
    Count = bin[i];
    if Count then output;
  end;
run;

And Thanks Richard again, he also suggested me this article.

'We're left with nothing': Mexicans in quake zone wonder how to begin rebuilding
A resident walks outside her severely damaged home in Juchitan, Oaxaca. A 8.2-magnitude earthquake on Thursday night killed dozens in southern Mexico and left a wide trail of destruction. (Ronaldo Schemidt/AFP/Getty Images)
By Joshua Partlow
Joshua Partlow
National and foreign affairs. Former correspondent focusing on Latin America and the Middle East.
ASUNCION IXTALTEPEC, Mexico — At night, they drape blankets on the sidewalks and drag bare mattresses to the middle of the road, away from precarious buildings.
They find what rest they can on park benches, in hammocks, on woven cots, in stringy "Acapulco chairs," beneath tarps and lean-tos, or on the bare ground under a rainless sky.
The 8.2-magnitude earthquake Thursday night laid waste to hundreds of buildings in and around this small Oaxacan village, leaving residents effectively homeless as they endure aftershocks while awaiting a rebuilding effort that has barely begun.
"Our house is now this almond tree," said Eneida Jiménez, a 55-year-old retired elementary school teacher and single mother of two whose home across the street was still standing, barely, its walls riven with massive cracks and its rooms littered with debris.
[The Mexican city with the highest number of quake deaths mourns — and gets to work]
Jiménez, her mother, her children, her grandchildren, and clusters of other neighbors and relatives pass their hours under the tree, waiting for government workers to catalogue the damage and maybe offer some assistance to rebuild.
Like many residents here, Jiménez does not have insurance for her home — "We don't have this custom here," she said — and they will be relying on government aid or whatever remittances might be sent by relatives in the United States.
"For 30 years, this was my sacrifice, my savings, the nights I ate, when I didn't eat, to give this house to my children," she said as she surveyed her broken home. "And I've lost everything."
Many Oaxaca residents worry about the structural integrity of their devastated homes, and they fear that the repeated rumblings might cause further damage. Since the earthquake, there have been hundreds of aftershocks, including a 5.2-magnitude quake Sunday morning in Juchitan, a few miles down the road.
[Dozens killed in massive earthquake off Mexico coast]
Hundreds of municipalities such as this one have been declared disaster zones across the southern states of Oaxaca, Chiapas and Tabasco, a part of the country that is poorer and less developed than other regions of Mexico. Juchitan has accounted for many of the 90 deaths from the earthquake. Residents in far smaller Asuncion Ixtaltepec have counted at least 11 dead, in addition to the blocks of ruined government buildings, schools and churches.
"My great-grandfather built this house 80 or 90 years ago, and it collapsed in one minute," said Carlos Alberto Chiñas Nolasco, a 21-year-old stylist sleeping under a slab of tin in his yard with the remnants of his destroyed house all around him.
Chiñas was asleep Thursday night along with his father, a retired soldier; his mother, who runs a beer store; and his uncle when the earthquake struck. They fled outside and watched as their home fell to the ground.
[Mexico's cataclysmic history of earthquakes]
On Sunday, government cargo planes arrived in Oaxaca with supplies, and soldiers distributed food. Search teams picked through rubble, and religious groups handed out donations. Many quake victims said they had no idea where they would find the money to begin the rebuilding process.
"We're just going to wait for some kind of support," Chiñas said, amid piles of bricks and roof beams. "These are ruins, and we're left with nothing. Without any work. What are we going to do?"
In the distance, trumpets heralded another funeral procession to the cemetery. Even the graveyards were not spared, with the quake cracking tombs and toppling headstones.
At the municipal cemetery in Juchitan on Saturday evening, Margarita Degante López, 62, was laid to rest in a tomb with broken glass next to a gravesite with toppled flower vases.
She and her husband, Miguel López, owned Hotel del Rio in Juchitan and were asleep there when the earthquake started. The couple, along with three other family members, were trapped when the building collapsed.
"When we arrived at the hotel, we saw that it was pure rubble," said Degante's son-in-law, Gonzalo Martinez, a state government official, who attended the funeral. "It was an extremely desperate moment for us, to think they were under the rubble and we couldn't do anything at that moment."
With the help of neighbors and authorities, four of the five family members were rescued; Degante did not survive. Her husband suffered cuts on his forehead and other injuries. When the family drove him home, they discovered that his house also had crumbled.
After watching his wife's funeral from his wheelchair, he could muster no words.
"I'm sorry," he said. "I can't."

#ColoradoRiver: Powell and Mead get a boost from recent rainy weather #COriver
October 1, 2016 Coyote Gulch Climate Change, Colorado River Basin, Colorado Water
Upper Colorado River Basin Water Year 2016 precipitation as a percent of normal through August 31, 2016 via the Colorado Climate Center.
From The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel (Gary Harmon):
Recent and prolonged wet weather across regions that help feed water levels in Lake Powell has had a downstream effect that has water-watchers encouraged.
Lake Powell wrapped up the water year nearly 500,000 acre-feet more full of Colorado River water than it did last year.
At the same time, the water level of Lake Mead rose slightly over the 12-month period ending Sept. 30.
Lake Powell ended the year at 53 percent full.
The 12-month period beginning Oct. 1 was dubbed the "water year" by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Conservation efforts by the states of the lower Colorado River Basin — Arizona, California, Nevada — resulted in 10 more feet of water in Lake Mead this year "and thus averted a shortage trigger this year," said James Eklund, executive director of the Colorado Water Conservation Board, which shepherded the state's first water plan into existence nearly a year ago.
"We can't pop the end-of-water-year champagne just yet," Eklund said. "We need to continue and finalize the (drought) contingency planning work so that it's in place as soon as possible."
That planning is geared toward keeping water levels high enough in Lake Powell to allow Glen Canyon Dam to generate electricity while also meeting the Upper Colorado River Basin's responsibility to supply 7.5 million acre-feet of water to the lower basin, based on a 10-year rolling average.
While Lake Powell grew slightly, Blue Mesa, the largest lake in Colorado, shrunk, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the reservoirs.
Blue Mesa filled in to 825,000 acre-feet and ended the 2015 water year with 725,000 acre-feet of water, or 87 percent of full.
This year, Blue Mesa's high-water mark was 799,000 acre-feet and it ended the water year Friday with 668,000 acre-feet, or 80 percent full.
