Spirit Airlines flight diverted after passengers sickened from 'dirty socks' odor
Several passengers on a Spirit Airlines flight from New York to Florida had to be examined by a medical crew after an emergency landing Thursday night.
The flight, heading from LaGuardia to Fort Lauderdale, was diverted to Myrtle Beach International Airport for a potential hazmat situation after an unusual odor was detected "in a section of the aircraft," the airline confirmed. Several of the 220 people aboard flight 779 had to be treated for symptoms ranging from headaches, nausea and difficulty breathing, Myrtle Beach Online reports.
"Reports are we have several occupants on a plane exposed to an unknown substance," Myrtle Beach Fire Rescue members had said over the radio, according to NBC New York. "They have deplaned and are currently on the ramp. We have isolated and are attempting to get in contact with the airport fire."
The emergency crews responded to the scene when the plane landed, though they did not find any hazardous substances on the aircraft. Some passengers described the smell as "dirty socks," NBC New York reports.

Clockwork Aquario [Arcade – Cancelled]
Arcade, Others
Clockwork Aquario (Tokeijikake no Aquario in Japanese) is an arcade game developed by Escape / WestOne Bit Entertainment, the same guys behind the Wonderboy series, that was cancelled in 1994 after about two years of development.
In 2011 Johnny Undaunted, a lostlevels forum user, translated an interview with the game's music composer…
Sakamoto: It was going to be similar to Wonder Boy 3: Monster Lair. It was going to be a forced side-scrolling game, but with a bit of a cooperative multiplayer mode. It was originally going to be a 2-players game, but then we decided to add a third player as well. The three characters consisted of a boy (named Hack Rondo), a girl (Elle Moon), and a robot (Gash). The method of attack was by stomping on enemies and then grabbing them to throw them out. Oh, I think you could even catch enemies thrown by other players as well or something like that. You could even head butt thrown enemies thrown at you.
…and some notes wrote by a japanese gamer who played Aquario in 1993 in a location testing
Aquario was a Super Mario Bros.-type side-scrolling action game. The controls originally consisted of three action buttons ("throw", "jump" and "invincibility").
Enemies are attacked first by jumping over them, rendering them unconscious. When the player moves towards an unconscious enemy, he automatically picks it up. At this point the player can throw the enemy by pressing the throw button. Enemies that are thrown flies off in a single horizontal line and are defeated by flying off-screen or being bashed to a wall. Thrown enemies can be used to knock other enemies unconscious as well. Moreover, by holding the joystick upwards, enemies can be thrown to the top of the screen as well.
Pressing the invincibility button makes the player invincible to enemies for a brief period. In the upper portion of the screen, there's an invincibility gauge underneath the score display and when it reaches zero, the player's invincibility will wear off. The gauge can be replenished by picking up items.
The key to the exit of each stage is kept by a sub-boss. By defeating the sub-boss, the player can obtain the key and use it to enter the boss' lair. Each boss can be defeated by jumping over him repeatedly or by throwing his henchmen to him. The boss of the first stage in this version was a crab.
The game featured a 2-hit points per life system similar to Ghosts 'n Goblins and Midnight Wanderers, in which getting hit once would make the player's clothes look tattered, and then getting hit a second time would make him lose a life. The player's clothes can be restored by picking up a health power-up.
* Impressions of the June 14 version.
This version was really difficult. I couldn't defeat the crab boss after several plays. It was a pretty difficult experience for novice players, since enemies move quickly and a lot of fake-outs are used by them. The invincibility button was difficult to use as well. Because it was difficulty to predict what kind of dangers would face in these kinds of action games, getting through them was simply a matter of "pressing the button on time". There were also unfair trap placement as well, such as the snapping trap in Stage 1. The game was still unfinished at the time, as there were bugs such as glitched text display during the playing instructions at the start of the game. However, the colorful graphics really caught my attention.
*August 15, 1993
Another location test for Aquario was held, this time in the comic book shop near the Spo-Lan in Shinjuku Nishiguchi. The content of the game were greatly altered since the last location test, to the point that the game was almost completed.
Impressions of the August 15 revision.
The number of action buttons was reduced to only two (punch and jump). This time, invincibility is only provided by a power-up item for a limited period (similar to the Starman in Super Mario Bros.). The invincibility gauge was replaced with a 1UP gauge that gives player an extra life when filled and it seems enemies are now defeated by knocking them unconscious with a punch, moving onto the unconscious enemy, and then throwing them. It was also possible to defeat enemies by simply punching an unconscious enemy further until he disappears . Since players were irritated that they were unable to defeat enemies quickly in the June 14 version, the resulting changes in this version made the game easier to play in longer periods. Perhaps because of this, the game was still deemed unsafe to release to the market yet.
Once again location testing was held in the Spo-Land store in Shinjuku Nishiguchi. I was wondering at this point why it wasn't already released yet (how unfortunate).
Changes made in the August 29 revision.
The differences are very minor this time. However, there seems to be a 2-Players competitive mode this time (there wasn't one in the August 15 version). I have no idea how it worked because I never saw it in action. From what I remember, a few graphical details were changed, but I didn't have much difficulty. Even though I wanted the game to come out already, I had a bad premonition at the time.
It was the last day I ever saw the game. I heard stories that another location test was conducted in the Spring of '94, but I'm not sure what changes were done at that point. Because of this, I now associated location tests with the process of a game company coming up with the decision of having to cancel a game. I thought to myself I shouldn't get too involved with location tests. However, I must consider myself fortunate to have the chance to had played this game due to my fascination with the company's Monster World series.
Thanks to an hardcoregaming 101 interview with Ryuichi Nishizawa, director of Aquario and of almost all the Wonderboy games, we also know that the source code survived and the reasons behind the game's cancellation:
"Aquario of the Clockwork" was the last arcade game developed by my company. I had been working and suffering for a long time to complete it, but the location test results were poor. It was an eccentric action game with three player simultaneous play. The graphics were quite excellent, but it was not released, unfortunately. The program is located in the archives of my company, so I do not have any screenshots.
The soundtrack of Aquario is available to buy here. For more informations check this hardcore gaming 101 blog post. Thanks to Youloute for the contribution!

ELEMENTARY ELEMENTARY
Glenwood is considered one of the oldest schools in the region.
Glenwood and the Little Red Schoolhouse was founded as a rural school district only weeks after the opening of the Cherokee Strip in 1893. The Glenwood School was annexed to the Enid Public Schools in 1964. It served the surrounding rural area during the first half of the twentieth century, first as a one teacher school, and later as a two teacher school.
The school has a colorful history. It was started in a dugout on the old Glenn farm west of Enid. It was originally located about a quarter mile west of its current site, on what was the Walter O. Beebe farm. The current A frame building, the "Little Red Schoolhouse", was constructed in 1895, and modern additions constructed in 1958, 1962 and 1964. In 1915, the building was taken apart, transported by wagon, and reassembled on its current site. After Glenwood became a part of the Enid Public Schools, a south wing was built in 1966, supplying space for upper grade classrooms and temporary central library facilities.
Mrs. Arlow Johnson, who taught at Glenwood between 1917 and 1920, said the school was considered a model at that time in domestic science and agricultural instruction, and that visitors from as far away as Denver and Chicago came to observe the instruction. Some of the early day teachers at Glenwood were Charles Evans, Cynthia Rice and O.E. James. Former pupils in the Enid area are numerous, and include Mason Hart Sr., Mrs. Oran Bland, Mrs. Gerald Alley, Floyd Jenkins, and Harvey and Nick Urban.
By 1955, Glenwood's enrollment was 49. The teachers were Frieda Driever and Olive I. Collins. 1955-56 enrollment was 44. Teachers were Miss Driever and Thelma VanBoskirk. 1956-57 enrollment was 55. The teachers were Mrs. Irene Hromas and Mrs. Leah Hogan. They continued through the 1957-58 term with 62 enrolled.
The 1958-59 enrollment was 69. Mrs. Hogan and Mrs. Hromas were joined by a third teacher, Joyce Boehnke. Those three teachers continued through the next two terms, with 75 enrolled in 1959-60 and 89 in 1960-61. In 1961-62, the enrollment increased to 92 and a fourth teacher, Sharon Smith, was added. The 1962-63, enrollment was 86. Mrs. Hromas and Mrs. Hogan continued with two new teachers, Audrey Presnall and Virgina Bergfield. The 1963-64 enrollment was 103. Janet Liberty and Gail Zink came as teachers that year. Mrs. Hromas , Mrs. Hogan and Mrs. Presnall continued at Glenwood.
The decade from 1954 to 1964 saw the Glenwood School double in size. The City of Enid was growing westward and several housing developments were opened in that area. The residents voted in 1964 to annex Glenwood School to District #57, Enid Public Schools.
Mrs. Hromas continued as principal until 1966 when she was suceeded by Mrs. Marjorie Collier. In 1966, the enrollment grew to 150, in 1967 to 195, and in 1968 to 225.
A new south wing was constructed in 1966 with a large "open school" addition added in 1979.
In 2009, Enid voters approved a 99 million dollar bond for construction, repairs and remodeling district wide for Enid Public Schools. Work began the summer of 2010 at Glenwood with the renovation of the restrooms throughout the school. Renovations also took place in the famous "Little Red Schoolhouse" portion of the school.
Glenwood currently has nearly 500 students and continues to grow and change every year.

Chinese PLAN Naval Intelligence Collection Vessel Operating Off West Australian Coast
The Australian Government Department of Defence is aware of a People's Liberation Army-Navy (PLAN) Intelligence Collection Vessel operating off the north-west shelf of Australia. The Department of Defence can confirm the vessel is a PLAN, Dongdiao Class Auxiliary Intelligence ship named Haiwangxing. The Haiwangxing travelled down the west coast of Australia to the vicinity of Exmouth, before changing course to track east along the north-west coast. The Department of Defence is actively monitoring the current activities of the Chinese Intelligence Collection Vessel off the north-west coast of Western Australia with a combination of air and maritime capabilities.

The Type 815, as well as its derivatives Type 815G and Type 815A, are Chinese electronic surveillance ships in service with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). Type 815 spy ship has received NATO reporting name Dongdiao class (meaning East Investigation), while its successors Type 815G & 815A have received NATO reporting name Dongdiao II class. In 2009 an improved version appeared, designated as Type 815G, and the most obvious external visual difference between Type 815G and earlier Type 815 is that the former has a different mast somewhat similar to a pagoda shape, and the sheer line is curved at a greater angle.
Movements of Chinese Intelligence Collection Vessel Haiwangxing near Australia 8-13 May 2022. (Photo by Australian Government Department of Defence )
The Type 815 is the most common spy ship deployed off the Taiwan Strait. Beginning in 2017, at least one Type 815G ship has been used to monitor each of the biennial Talisman Saber military exercises in northern Australia; in 2021, two such vessels, the Tianwangxing and her younger sister the Haiwangxing, were so deployed. The Australian Government respects the right of all states to exercise freedom of navigation and overflight in international waters and airspace, just as they expect others to respect their right to do the same. The Department of Defence will continue to monitor the ship's operation in Australian maritime approaches.

Bandai Namco has today announced that the free-to-play game Gundam Battle Operation NEXT will receive two additional mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, which are Gundam Kimaris Trooper and Graze Ein.
Gundam Kimaris Trooper is the first upgrade of Gaelio Bauduin's Gundam Kimaris, where its lower part can transform into the four-legged, hovering Trooper Form. It is equipped with the Destroyer Lance as its primary weapon and the Kimaris Shield which also has a Kimaris Saber stored within. It can also lay mines and the Destroyer Lance can also double as a ranged weapon as it has two 140mm machine guns attached to it.
Graze Ein is the last mobile suit used by Ein Dalton and can also be considered as the boss mobile suit in the first season of Iron-Blooded Orphans. Despite having a larger size than ordinary mobile suits, it is still able to make agile movements thanks to the Alaya-Vijnana system that fully connects Ein with this mobile suit. The Graze Ein comes equipped with a pair of retractable shoulder Machine Guns, Custom Large Axes, and Pile Bunkers on each arm. Its legs can also turn into drills to damage its enemies by kicking.
Gundam Battle Operation NEXT is a free-to-play game on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 that has been released in Japan and Asia since August 27, 2015. While it has been regularly updated with more features and playable mobile suits, this game is only available in Japanese and Traditional Chinese languages; they have no plans to add English language support to this game for the time being.


What makes you feel truly alive, rather than what merely enables you to survive? This New Moon Eclipse coming up on the 28th is bringing up the subject of how we relate to terra firma and our own sense of embodiment while on it. Taurus highlights both the tools of survival and the ability the enjoy what these tools (money for example) provide. In anyone with strong Taurus placements in their chart it's not enough to just get by. This sign reminds us that life is supposed to be sweet and not some ongoing struggle. The bull or conversely the Sacred Cow shows us how to slow down and savor our food, the elements and just being a part of nature.
Another theme in our midst is that of procrastination and finally being able to break some longstanding patterns of it in certain areas that have been stuck. What dirty chores need tending, what broken watch needs fixing, what relationship needs mending, what messages have not yet been replied to, what projects await fruition? What we find when we pick up where we left off is that these things are not nearly as dreadful as we have anticipated, but may actually bring us great relief or satisfaction. By completing all the little "dangling" things in our lives that nag us perhaps quietly but incessantly in the back of our minds we actually clear away the roadblocks to our health, happiness, and success.
Mercury is close to the Eclipse suggesting that the psychosomatic causes of our health, financial or other problems may become easily identified and finally released. When the mind and body are well integrated, illness often disappears. Taurus rules the throat and voice, while Mercury rules thought, speech, and communication. What better time to express, sing, or clarify your intentions than now? A golden key for many who struggle with health, finances and especially "love" is the recognition and release of a deep rooted sense of guilt or the lack of self worth. If you know you're worth it, as Taurus inherently knows, then you will firmly stand for what you believe in, work hard for what you value, accept good things that come your way, and allow yourself to enjoy life's rewards. It's really as simple as that, much of the time. It is we who complicate our own lives even more than they may already be, because of some sort of amnesia regarding our divinity.
It can be helpful during a New Moon to write up a list of approximately Ten things you wish to manifest or change in your life, as the time is right for planting new seeds and intentions, particularly those that relate to abundance. The list doesn't need to be perfectly in order but it is important to state positives rather than negatives – meaning, say what you want and not what you don't want. Effectiveness may further be boosted by placing this list underneath a candle, on an altar, adhered to a mirror or some other place where it will reside within your subconscious for a few weeks.
Taurus is an Earth sign ruled by Venus, lover of pleasure and love itself. Beauty and harmony within the environment is important to this sign, and most of us have become very sensitized to our environments since Venus entered Pisces April 5th until May 2nd. Even those without a so called "green thumb" may have better luck these next few weeks than at other times with plants. It's extra obvious by now that whatever we do to the Earth and seas, we do to ourselves. If we can take this time and use the energy of this Taurean eclipse to be more alert to the sounds, scents, and sensations within nature we will realize more clearly what part we play in restoring her balance around and within us.
or taped rather…thanks for the insight!
Cool!! 🙂 happy solar eclipse!

The European Ombudsman's efforts during 2015 to boost transparency within the EU institutions, international trade agreements and negotiations on legislation between the three main EU bodies were welcomed by Parliament's Petitions Committee on Wednesday. MEPs also call for the adoption of common rules and safeguards for the better protection of whistle-blowers revealing illegal or unethical activities in the public or private sectors.
The Petitions Committees' resolution on the European Ombudsman's annual report for 2015, drafted by Notis Marias (ECR, GR), was passed by 21 votes to 9 with 0 abstentions.
Like recent years, transparency-related issues continue to top the Ombudsman's list of 278 opened inquires in 2015. MEPs welcome the Ombudsman's continued efforts to increase openness within the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) talks and informal negotiations on legislation between the European Commission, Parliament and Council.
They also call on the European Ombudsman, currently Ms Emily O'Reilly, to push for more clarity and good administration within the European Central Bank.
The resolution further welcomes the fact that in 2015, all EU institutions introduced internal rules for whistleblowing. However, the adoption of additional common rules, guarantees and safeguards to enhance the protection of people revealing illegal or unethical activities in the public or private sectors is still of great importance, notes the text.
Members also commends the EU Ombudsman for investigating Member States' compliance with EU rules when it comes to sensitive Union funded actions, such as the placement of people with disabilities in various institutions rather than integrating them into society. They urge the Ombudsman to continue these investigations, in order to ensure transparency and the benefits of these kinds of measures.
MEPs also highlight the Ombudsman's investigation into the make-up and openness within the Commission's expert groups, and reiterates their call to the Council to join the lobby register as soon as possible. They urge the Commission to make all information on lobby influence available free of charge, comprehensible and fully accessible to the public through one centralised online database.
The Petitions Committee finally calls on the Commission to submit, within 2017, a proposal for a mandatory and legally binding register for all lobbyists, aimed at closing current loopholes and uncertainties.
The Petitions Committees' resolution is scheduled to be voted in plenary on 24 November.

New Jersey Split on Legalizing Pot
But most see alcohol and tobacco as bigger dangers
New Jerseyans are divided on whether marijuana should be legalized and are not convinced that a recent proposal in the state legislature is a good idea. The Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll finds, though, that most state residents say alcohol and tobacco use pose greater dangers. This is the first Garden State poll on the topic since State Senator Nick Scutari introduced a marijuana legalization bill.
New Jersey residents are basically split down the middle on whether the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use should be made legal. Just under half (48%) support this and an almost identical number (47%) oppose it. These results are similar to a national ABC News/Washington Post Poll conducted in January, which found 49% in favor and 48% opposed.
Democrats – 49% support to 45% oppose – and independents – 51% support to 42% oppose – are slightly more in favor of legalizing marijuana. Republicans, though, are decidedly negative on the idea – 61% oppose it compared to 37% who support legalization.
There are also significant gender and age differences in support for marijuana legalization. Men (56%) are more likely than women (39%) to support it. Younger adults under the age of 35 are more likely to support legalizing marijuana (57%) when compared to New Jerseyans age 35 to 54 (45%) or 55 and older (43%).
A bill to legalize marijuana has recently been introduced in the state legislature. Among other things, it would allow people over the age of 21 to purchase small quantities of marijuana for their own use from businesses specially licensed by the state government. Just 36% of New Jersey residents think this is a good idea while just under half (45%) say it is a bad idea. Another 18% have no opinion.
"The marijuana debate has been engaged and neither side has the distinct advantage right now," said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. "There isn't a lot of support for the Scutari proposal, but most people actually see alcohol and tobacco use as bigger dangers. Perhaps some of the opposition may simply be a reaction against legalizing something that has been illicit for so long."
When marijuana is compared to alcohol, most New Jerseyans (59%) say alcohol use is more dangerous than marijuana (18%), with another 19% volunteering that both are equally dangerous. The results are nearly identical for tobacco products. Most New Jerseyans (58%) say tobacco use is more dangerous than marijuana (21%), with another 18% volunteering that both are equally dangerous. Democrats, Republicans, and independents all agree that alcohol and tobacco are more dangerous than marijuana. The New Jersey numbers are also similar to findings from a national CNN/ORC poll taken in January – specifically, more dangerous substance: alcohol (73%), marijuana (12%), equal (14%); tobacco (64%), marijuana (23%), equal (12%).
Still, New Jerseyans are divided on how serious a problem marijuana use is today. Just over half say it is either a very (21%) or moderately (31%) serious problem while just under half say it either not too serious (26%) or not really a problem at all (20%). The 52% in New Jersey who think it is a very or moderately serious problem and the 46% who think it is less of a problem are similar national public opinion poll results of 51% and 49%, respectively, as measured by CNN/ORC in January.
Garden State Democrats are divided on whether marijuana use is a very or moderately serious problem (50%) or less of a problem (48%). Independents are less likely to think it is a very or moderately serious problem (45%) and somewhat more likely to think it isn't a significant problem (52%). Most Republicans, though, think marijuana use today is a very or moderately serious problem (68%), with few saying it is not a serious problem (32%).
The Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll also examined a few aspects of the bill recently introduced in the state legislature. Public opinion of the proposal is not impacted by the fact that marijuana possession would still be illegal under federal law. Only 15% of those surveyed said knowing this makes them less likely to support legalization in New Jersey and, in fact, 9% would be more likely to support it. Overall, 75% say that the federal law has no impact on their opinion of legalizing marijuana in New Jersey.
The proposed legislation would use most of the taxes raised from marijuana sales for transportation projects. This has slightly more of a positive than negative impact, although 64% say this aspect of the bill doesn't change their mind. Among the rest, 24% say they are more likely to support legalizing marijuana in New Jersey if most of the proceeds went to transportation projects while 12% say this would make them less likely to support it.
On both of these aspects – federal law and transportation funding – there is very little impact on people who are undecided about the current legislative proposal. In most cases, these issues just serve to strengthen the support of those already in favor of marijuana legalization and similarly strengthen the disapproval of those already opposed.
Just over one third (36%) of those polled say they have tried marijuana. Men (46%) are more likely than women (26%) to report this, but there are no significant differences by age or political party.
The Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll was conducted by telephone with 803 New Jersey adults from March 30 to April 1, 2014. This sample has a margin of error of ± 3.5 percent. The poll was conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute and originally published by the Asbury Park Press and its sister publications (Courier-Post, Courier News, Daily Journal, Daily Record, and Home News Tribune).

The Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll was conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute from March 30 to April 1, 2014 with a statewide random sample of 803 adult residents, including 601 contacted via live interview on a landline telephone and 202 via live interview on a cell phone. Monmouth is responsible for all aspects of the survey questionnaire design, data weighting and analysis. For results based on the total sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling has a maximum margin of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Sampling error increases as the sample size decreases, so statements based on various population subgroups, such as separate figures reported by gender or party identification, are subject to more error than are statements based on the total sample. In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.

No Iran Nuclear Treaty Without Congressional Action | Commentary
By Evan Bayh, Saxby Chambliss, and Norm Coleman
Posted March 18, 2015 at 1:15pm
Iran is on course to develop nuclear weapons. Few foreign policy challenges pose a greater threat to the security of the United States and our allies. To permanently and verifiably prevent Iranian nuclear weapons, America must be united and resolute. History and common sense indicate this is more likely if congressional approval is required of any final agreement negotiated by the president.
For half a century, Congress has reviewed, amended and voted on treaties that have achieved lasting results with nuclear disarmament. In fact, many of these agreements have enjoyed broad bipartisan support on Capitol Hill. Since 1955, the United States has entered into roughly 25 Section 123 Agreements with various countries, including Canada, Japan, China and more than 27 European nations. SALT I, SALT II and START are other examples in which both Republican and Democratic presidents have worked with congressional leaders of both parties to achieve consensus on international nuclear agreements. Often the affirmation was overwhelming.
In the Iranian context, congressional authorization would carry the added benefit of illustrating America's commitment to long-term Iranian nuclear deterrence beyond the end of the Obama administration in January 2017. Iran is more likely to make meaning concessions when our government speaks with one voice and our commitments and deterrents extend beyond 20 months.
In addition, congressional approval of an Iranian nuclear accord that included specific and automatic consequences for listed violations would carry added weight. Congressional authorization for the use of force in case of egregious cheating by Tehran is particularly important. Iran may doubt our resolve following Syria's use of chemical weapons in defiance of America's warnings. There must be no doubt about the price they will pay for non-compliance with any nuclear weapons limitations.
The administration will be tempted to act unilaterally and not seek congressional concurrence. Previous presidents were similarly tempted, and engagement with the legislative branch can take time, try one's patience and necessitate refinements to any accord. But ultimately this is the course most likely to result in a lasting, effective, resolution. To do otherwise would leave large parts of Congress and the American people hostile to the agreement, not a strong foundation for American security or lasting arms control.
Members of the Senate have rightfully maintained that a meaningful congressional response to Iran's intransigence would restore common sense sanctions and take into consideration flexibility in support of ongoing negotiations. The American Security Initiative was founded with these objectives in mind and the desire to build bipartisan support for these goals. It is our hope the Senate leadership will bring the Lindsey Graham-Bob Corker measure to the floor in March for a vote.
The Iranians are pursuing a nuclear weapon, not peaceful energy development, and the United States must remain vigilant in eliminating their capacity for uranium enrichment. Stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions constitutes one of the most critical foreign policy threats our nation faces. Congressional oversight and approval not only has precedence, it remains indispensable in order for America to send an unequivocal message to our allies, and underscore with Tehran, that under no circumstances will we allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.
Evan Bayh, a Democrat, is a former senator from Indiana. Saxby Chambliss, a Republican, is a former senator from Georgia. Norm Coleman, a Republican, is a former senator from Minnesota. All three serve as board members of the American Security Initiative.


A 62-year-old female was diagnosed with an incidental wide-necked anterior communicating artery (ACOM) aneurysm with partial involvement at the neck of the right A2 vessel (Fig. 36.1a) on CTA. Sequential CT scans demonstrated interval growth and the patient requested treatment. Endovascular management options include balloon-assisted coiling, stent-assisted coiling, and treatment with WEB (Sequent Medical Palo Alto, CA, USA). The alternatives were evaluated in the neurovascular multidisciplinary team meeting, and WEB was decided upon. Two attempts at elective WEB embolization were unsuccessful due to difficult access with tortuous internal carotids (Fig. 36.1b) and an angulated ICA/A1 junction bilaterally (Fig. 36.1c). A third attempt was planned (Figs. 36.2 and 36.3).

Collier, Jeremy (1650-1726).—Church historian and controversialist, b. at Stow, Cambridgeshire, ed. at Ipswich and Camb., entered the Church, and became Rector of Ampton, Suffolk, lecturer of Gray's Inn, London, and ultimately a nonjuring bishop. He was a man of war from his youth, and was engaged in controversies almost until his death. His first important one was with Gilbert Burnet, and led to his being imprisoned in Newgate. He was, however, a man of real learning. His chief writings are his Ecclesiastical History of Great Britain (1708-1714), and especially his Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage {1699), on account of which he was attacked by Congreve and Farquhar, for whom, however, he showed himself more than a match. The work materially helped towards the subsequent purification of the stage.

Phil the Bag charity success
Ripley Court School raised over £650 to help renovate classrooms in Zimbabwe.
Every year Ripley Court School hold their charity event "Phil the Bag", where students, teachers and staff bring in bags full of unwanted items such as clothes, shoes and textiles in order to raise as much money for charity.
The clothes are collected by the Phil the Bag van and go off to get weighed to determine how much the school has raised.
Last year, the school raised $880 which went towards renovating an ECD classroom in the Mlevu School Cluster in Zimbabwe. Ziga Primary School was the recipient of the classroom renovation and were thrilled with their bright new learning space.
The money raised by Ripley Court paid for repairing the walls and floors as well as painting the classroom in what is now known as the "Ripley Court signature green". The money raised by Ripley Court also provided a truckload of school books suitable for their new government school curriculum.
"The Ripley school kids have been great supporters of Imvelo for many years and we're so appreciative of their ongoing contributions to the Imvelo community programmes." - Imvelo

Two young girls used moonlight to navigate their way through creosote and cactus. In the distant night, he sounds of truck engines and shouting federales faded away. They kept running, breathless, holding each other's hands.
Esmerelda, the oldest at seven, led her little sister Alba into the dark.
"Are they gone?" Alba asked in Spanish.
A branch cracked behind them. As both girls spun around, a powerful flashlight flicked on. The girls held their hands up to block out the light, but they could not see who was holding the light.
"Where's mother?" Alba asked, bordering on crying.
Esmerelda stepped in front of her little sister, instincts driving her to protect.
Hope bloomed at the man's claim, but some deeper part of her continued to scream for her to run away.
He lowered the flashlight so that it illuminated his brown suede boots and blue jeans. He'd gotten closer to the girls while he talked, so slowly they hadn't noticed.
Esmerelda felt a moment of relief to see that he wasn't dressed in border guard's clothes — until she noticed the long knife held in his other hand, just visible at the light's edge.
The girl spun and pushed her sister into the dark.
"Run!" she screamed, knowing even as she did that it was too late.


Sean and I are currently in a mess. I'm studying for my MCAT, he's working on his thesis for his Masters. He works full time (as a graduate student), and I work part-time but volunteer at 3 different places. We're visiting Paris late August, and then we're moving to the Netherlands from September until late December (possibly doing Christmas in Denmark). He's doing research while we're there, and I don't know what I'm doing. In the midst of this, his supervisor has gone on vacation for a month and needs someone to housesit and cat sit. We're splitting the month with another couple, but it's already stressful. The house is lovely, the cats are lovely, but the going back and forth between everywhere is already leaving me feeling a bit ragged.
The point though is that life happens, and when life happens you either don't adapt and struggle or adapt and develop a new rhythm. I have yet to develop a new rhythm that includes keeping my blogs up to date, or even really cooking. When I'm cooking, it's easy peasy boring stuff like pasta or soup. I've been eating a lot of low-maintenance food lately like fruit and granola bars. A lot of coffee. Last night though, after our plans of attending a breakfast potluck were abandoned (what types of food can you even bring to a breakfast potluck? I don't really like breakfast food…) we decided to make dinner in the gorgeous kitchen of the house we're cavorting in.
For some reason, I decided we should have enchiladas. We've never made enchiladas before, nor have we ever eaten them! We've had burritos and tacos, but never enchiladas. I felt creative, and it sounded tasty so we decided to go ahead with it. I googled enchilada recipes and found a few, and just kind of jammed them together to create our own enchiladas. While Sean went to pick up groceries, I acquainted myself with the kitchen and tried to find what we would need. I had difficulties getting the oven pre-heating, and we ran into some problems with the stove top. The stove is quite cool, it uses magnetic induction to cook!
Anyways, Sean took a grocery list and called me frantically trying to find enchilada sauce. No one in the grocery store would help, so we made a judgment call and he bought taco sauce. I then learned that enchilada sauce doesn't exist (seemingly) in Canada? How strange. But we preserved, and while it was a lot of work (mostly just prep work), it came together and was delicious!
After rinsing black beans, divide half of the beans into a bowl and mash until smooth.
Prep vegetables accordingly (i.e. dice onion, garlic, pepper, jalapeno, cilantro).
On medium heat add EVOO to pan, saute onions for 5-7 minutes.
Add pepper and saute for an additional 4-5 minutes.
Add garlic, saute for 30 seconds then add mashed black beans and whole black beans. Combine well. Add a bit of chili powder (to taste).
Continue to cook for 5 minutes, or until the beans are heated. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the filling ingredients along with the cilantro and jalapeno.
Add enchilada sauce and combine.
Heat tortillas in microwave for 30 seconds, until pliable. Then begin to spoon filling into tortilla, wrap and place tortilla seam side down in a large pan. Continue this process until all the filling is used.
Coat tortillas with enchilada sauce, then cover with shredded cheese. Wrap with tin foil and put in oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove tin foil and put back until cheese is bubbly (3-5 minutes).
We served these up 2 at a time, and found them to be very filling. I ate 2, Sean ate 3 so we still have a lot of left overs which is wonderful. I don't know how authentic these are, but I do know they were satisfying and I appreciated how much protein was in them. I think they'd be great left overs for breakfast (but that's because I like eating dinner for breakfast!) and they'd probably freeze well (I'd say freeze without covering with enchilada sauce/cheese though). You may find the cooking times vary a bit for you, be careful with it. While we cooked everything for long periods of time, I found the peppers never really got soft and I think it was because the stove used magnetic induction. I'll have to try it out on my stove sometime though.
Anywho, this was a delicious and easy recipe. The prepping was the most time-consuming! I think next time I may add more vegetables like corn, and maybe mix kidney beans with the black beans.

Ambam (* 14. April 1990 in Bekesbourne, Kent) ist ein männlicher Gorilla im Tierpark von Port Lympne in der englischen Grafschaft Kent, der im Januar 2011 wegen eines nur 18 Sekunden langen Videos auf YouTube zu einer Internet-Berühmtheit avancierte.

Der Silberrücken wurde 1990 im nahegelegenen Tierpark von Howletts geboren; beide Elternteile waren Wildfänge. Als Ambam ein Jahr alt war, zog er sich eine ernsthafte Erkrankung zu und musste vorzeitig von seiner Mutter Shamba getrennt werden. Nach seiner Genesung einige Monate später wurde er in eine Gruppe junger, männlicher Gorillas integriert, mit denen er gemeinsam aufwuchs. Mit vier von ihnen – alles Halbbrüder Ambams – wurde er im Alter von acht Jahren in den nahe gelegenen Tierpark von Port Lympne gebracht, wo er seither als Mitglied einer Junggesellengruppe lebt. Ambam selbst ist der größte und mit rund 220 kg auch schwerste Gorilla des Parks.

Internationale Bekanntheit erlangte er durch ein bei Gorillas sehr seltenes Verhalten, nämlich den aufrechten Gang über einen ungewöhnlich langen Zeitraum. Gorillas bewegen sich hauptsächlich im Knöchelgang fort und beherrschen den aufrechten Gang nur bis zu einem gewissen Grad und in Ausnahmefällen. Ambam hingegen streift oft auch dann auf zwei Beinen durch sein Gehege, wenn die Funktion seiner Arme nicht (wie etwa durch den Transport von Nahrung) eingeschränkt ist. Nach Angaben des Tierparks zeigt er dieses Verhalten aus freien Stücken und wurde nicht dazu trainiert. Eine mögliche Erklärung für die aufrechte Haltung wäre die auf diese Weise erlangte bessere Sicht auf die Pfleger sowie die Übersicht auf das im Gehege verstreute Futter.

Im Rahmen des Zuchtprogramms (EEP) der EAZA für Gorillas sollte Ambam 2013 in den Ouwehands Dierenpark im niederländischen Rhenen gebracht werden und dort zusammen mit drei weiteren männlichen Gorillas aus Port Lympne seine zukünftige Heimstatt finden. Der Neubau des dortigen Gorillageheges zog sich jedoch in die Länge, und noch vor seiner Eröffnung zerfiel Ambams Gruppe; wegen zu starker Rivalitäten zwischen den erwachsenen Gorilla-Männern konnten sie nicht mehr gemeinsam gehalten werden. Rhenen erhielt stattdessen sechs andere Junggesellen aus Howletts. Ambam lebt nach wie vor – nun mit zwei weiteren, nicht verwandten Silberrücken – in Port Lympne. Der Tierpark beherbergt mit insgesamt zwanzig Gorillas in drei Gruppen (Stand September 2014) eine der größten Populationen in Gefangenschaft weltweit.

Montevideo - Ushuaia (12/11/15 - 31/12/15)
Our journey to the most southern city in the world began in Uruguay with a ferry trip back to Buenos Aires and then commencing the 3,000 plus kilometer highway to Ushuaia. Covering the distance in approximately 6 weeks we had many interesting experiences but for the purposes of this site we will only comment on some of our highlights.
The journey will be remembered for the long stretches of Patagonian plains, stunningly wild and beautiful coastlines, wind, Guanacos, Rheas, lovely flowers and surprisingly good weather. Aside from nature and the geography something that will always stand out for us was the population of dogs, every town no matter what size seemed to have almost equal number of dogs as residents! Also sadly the rubbish and broken glass was impossible to ignore – strewn across empty spaces, gutters, parks, tangled in fences and overflowing from every bin, a problem obviously not helped by the wind but shocking none the less! A really positive contrast to the rubbish was the love of colour which brightened up even the most basic buildings and seemed to be popular in most communities, all colours of the rainbow may be found in just one street. We were continually surprised by some of the sights on the road and the locals' ability to keep alive even the most ancient vehicles, we never found out whether such a thing as a WOF exists but suspect not!! Another thing which fascinated us were the hundreds of little shrines dotted along the roadways with prayers and offering to Gauchito Gil, many of them painted red with red ribbons tied to all the nearby fences and trees and often surrounded by stacks of plastic bottles. We never found out what the bottles were about but it turns out Gauchito Gil was a legendary Argentinian saint, a Robin Hood type character who was eventually murdered by a policeman just prior to receiving his pardon.
El Condor (Burrowing Parrot)
A few days south of Buenos Aires on the coast at El Condor beach near Viedma we found an amazing colony of burrowing parrots, locally called Condor Parrots these fascinating birds excavate their own nest burrows by tunnelling into cliff faces. The colony stretches for about 9 km along the cliffs, includes about 35,000 nests and is the main breeding site in the world for this bird. They are beautiful to watch with their multi-coloured plumage of olive-green, blue and yellow with a red-orange patch on their bellies and we spent hours wandering along the beach and also the cliffs to watch from above and below.
Southern Elephant Seals
Our experience of the famous Valdes Peninsula was a little disappointing in that we paid the high entry fee to drive all day on the rough dirt roads and were only legally allowed to leave the vehicle at the rare viewing areas and we had way more memorable experiences of viewing wildlife outside the park.
We heard about a colony of elephant seals on the coast south of Valdes and were surprised and delighted to find this small group and being there on our own were able to quietly wander among and photograph them without disturbing. The southern elephant seal is the largest seal and males can weigh around 3.5 tons and measure up to 5.5 meters so we definitely didn't want to disturb them! The males also have the large nobbly nose or trunk that they use to produce their loud belching roars. Apparently this small group and the colony on Valdes are the only breeding places outside Antarctica.
A surprise while on Valdes peninsula was to arrive at a colony of Magellanic penguins and be able to wander close to them while they practically ignored us. They are delightfully cute and very photogenic! This species of penguin mainly only breeds in Patagonia with over one million pairs in the many colonies on the coast. They breed in the colonies only from September to April and then remain at sea for the winter.
We camped right next to the beach on the coastal road out to Valdes and woke to the blowing of whales just metres off the shore! These were the southern right whale, one of the world's rarest species of whale who were once hunted almost to extinction and who now breed in large numbers around Peninsula Valdes. They have the unusual large blunt head with thickened callous like skin on the top which itself becomes the home to a colony of lice! These whales are very social and gather in pods especially during the breeding season when sometimes over a hundred whales can be seen from a single point on the peninsula – on our first morning in Puerto Madryn we were surpriseded to see dozens of whales in the bay just close to the city.
In awesome contrast to the coast was a trip inland to the Jaramillo petrified forest, recommended to us by several people it was fascinating and beautiful. There's a great little info centre which filled us in on the details - the forest originated in a different climate nearly 1.5 million years ago and was buried under ash by volcanic activity until discovered. Incredibly carbon dating has some of them at 1000yrs old when they were buried!! We stayed at a quaint little campground close to the forest which seemed to be a converted farmyard with dogs included and surrounded by a range of old automobiles in varying stages of decay!
This famous mountain owing its fame as much to its inclement weather as to its beauty pulled all stops for us and turned on an awesome display!!! We drove up the valley in clear warm sunshine with not a cloud in sight and Fitz Roy sparkled! Next day we hiked up to a viewing ridge … 8 hours of hard work after not much recent exercise was a mean workout but the views more than made up for the pain! Monte Fitz Roy is considered one of the most technically challenging for climbers due to its sheer granite faces despite only being of average height. It is also the basis for the Patagonia clothing company logo and is called the 'smoking mountain' by local indigenous tribes due to the near constant ring of cloud around its peak. At its base is the neat little mountain village of El Chalten which luckily hasn't become excessively touristy yet!
The Perito Moreno glacier is hard to describe as any except awesome!!! The viewing platforms which seem to have used thousands of tons of steel and zigzag for many kilometers are initially off-putting but soon become insignificant when the glacier cracks and groans sounding like a war-zone and great chunks of ice crash into the lake! We were mesmerised and stayed the whole day, addicted to waiting for the next explosion of ice and foam and trying to capture the magic in photos.
The glacier is about 30km long, 5km wide and about 74m in height above the lake and even more amazing is that it grows by an estimated 2m per day.
