I did not see anything that I needed at the swap either. I missed finding Kurt's Coke cooler and never saw a kit that I wanted at a price I could pay. I did visit with a few friends and said hi to a few others and went home with my wallet intact.
Went over first thing in the morning. I did not find any little Coke coolers, in fact I did not find one thing I was wanting. I left right after 9 AM. Hope everyone had a more productive time than I did.
I still have a set somewhere in the plastic box they came in. Pretty cool.
Great looking Hudson, They are a fun build with little trouble. So far I have only made 2 coupes and one convertible. I love them but that foiling takes a ton of motivation to get going on. Incidentally, I had no problems with the decals but I built the ones I have done raight after the kits came out, so the decals were fresh. Sure reminds me of another time when Hudson's were a common site on the roads. Yep, I am old Here is my take on the 52 convertible. I used Hudson color called Texas Tan and my up top came from Motor City Resins. I used the wire wheels from the 54 Hudson kit.
Coming along nicely. Great subject too, hardly ever see a Charger 500.
No advise on saving your lettered tires. I have had this happen to me and I use Testor's acrylic flat clear out of an airbrush. It seems to happen if I apply the clear coat too wet. I think it re-wets the decal and causes the silvering. If I apply very light coats and allow some drying, I do not get the silvering. I had this happen on the same tires, same decals and the ones that silvered had been wet coated more than others that I did at the same time but gave them a few more lighter coats.
Not sure how this works in the automotive design world but in other fields rights expire after 50 years. Which is why you have old songs used in commercials and any record label can make records of 50+ year old artists music or publish books that were written over 50 years ago. However, since Cobra, Ford and Shelby are all still current brands, they would own the rights to their NAMES. So if you were to label a kit Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, powered by Ford, you would be needing several licenses. If you called it Sports Car Race Car of 1964-65 you would be legit, most likely. A kit called a cobra is going to sell better than a kit called sports car race car, so one would probably want the name on the kit. Reality it that 1964-65 was a very long time ago and I would think that although there are people that remember the time period and the cars, it would not appeal as much to a younger builder that may want a kit of a Lamborghini as opposed to an antique race car that only raced a few seasons over 50 years ago. I would buy a bunch of them myself but I am thinking that from a marketing person's perspective, the Daytona Coupe and the Cheetah would both be light sellers. Who knows what goes through the marketing person's mind? Fortunately for us modeler's there are excellent kits of both the Cobra Daytona Coupe and the Cheetah made by Historic Racing Miniatures and MFH also makes a Daytona Coupe. A little pricey but great kits and quite well detailed. I have one of he Daytona coupe kits, I would not buy a Cheetah. The Cheetah is a cool looking car and good old American hot rodding at it's finest but it has not much of a track record beyond many DNF's. If you want one for it's cuteness or odd shape, it is available, just not at Hobby Lobby.
I guess I am missing a lot of drama with white paint. I have used MM white, it's alright. I have used the little Testor's bottle enamel, it's useable. I have used the acrylic Testor's white, one time and it came out great, the second color forced a strip and I went to a lacquer, didn't like it much. stripped again. I finally ended up with Tamiya TS Pure White and Racing White over Tamiya white primer. Used the can direct to the body, came out every time. I have lots of airbrushes and for body painting I have never decanted anything, always have better luck with just spraying from the can. Maybe I am lucky. I do use the airbrushes more than spray cans but for black and white and reds, I have good success with the TS spray cans. My favorite paint is Scalefinishes acrylic enamel, gloss coat paint. I have a cap that screws direct to the bottles and I airbrush away. Easy cleanup and no waste or mess pouring into bottles. I guess we all find what we like and what works for us. I try things until I find what works best for me. It took me a long time to try out the Tamiya spray cans but once I did, I really like them.
Historic Racing Miniatures makes a very nice resin kit of this car. While the car was interesting and cool looking in it's day, it was very unsuccessful as a road race car. Never much in control. I am with others here, I would much rather have a Cobra Daytona Coupe, it took the USA to it's first FIA Sports Car Championship, a very significant car in history. I have one of the HRM kits and a Gunze-Sanyo kit but a cheaper version sure would be nice. I will add, that if I had lots of money, I would love to have a kit car replica of a Daytona Coupe in 1:1 to drive. I doubt many could keep a Cheetah pointed in a safe direction, the race car drivers back in the day couldn't.
Bill J replied to Bill J's topic in Wanted!
Another rule back in those days was the Prototype class cars were considered GT class cars that had not been manufactured in sufficient quantity to qualify for GT class, So, all rules were essentially the same. Spare tire, luggage capacity, 2 seats, etc.
If you can find the AMT parts pack of Goodyear Polyglass tires, it comes with 4 of the F70-14's I seem to recall. The other 4 in the package are like G70-14's I think. Probably available on ebay.

This is my first attempt at combining TC with image editing software.
It took most of the weekend to figure out the basics of image editing.
A combination of TC, Paint.net and photoScape.
I have posted the original shop image for comparison.
All comments and criticisms welcomed.
First Class work on this Dave, quite amazing the closeness to the original. I have never tried photoscape , any benefits or handy facets to the program ??.
Great looking image Dave. How was TurboCAD used?
Nice work Dave. Incorporation the TC tic-tac -toe table as a display along with the magnifying glass give good pictorial composition along with the aged look to the image it gives real time period. before you know it you'll be ready go Photoshop CS4.With these two applications working side beside there no limitations,its just as TC and AC working in tandem. One question if one looks in the window how did you change the store contents from glasses to benchtop??.

One question did use the Sepia tool command in Paint.Net to get the look?
Thanks for pointing all that out WD, I wasn't sure which came first, the old or the new. I am not always that observant.
Must admit at first I'm little puzzle myself.
More I study this the more I'm intrigue .If one is to look in the window I notice vehicle reflection that is not of period along with another store across the street.he also add text on the window.I like how these components come together to make the modifications into old time picture.
PhotoScape was originally recommended to me by Don Cheke.
Sorry Michael I only know the extreme basics of photoScape so I really can't give you any tips on it. Before the weekend I didn't know the first thing about paint.net, just about learned enough to put this composition together.
Henry H gave me advice about image wrapping a while ago but I must be a bit slow as I have only recently got my head around the idea of offsetting images to get the required wrap.
This Image came about after following wd's flyer thread.
This I suppose was a project from evolution of learning.
I will try to explain it all as best as I can.
All the photographic images used in this picture were sourced on the internet.
All photographic images used in this picture were darkened or mirrored with PhotoScape.
All the storefront display images were produced within TC and saved onto a white background (nice tip wd). All backgrounds removed with the magic wand tool in the final stages of composition with paint.net.
The original photo was edited by removing the shop sign from the upper left of the image using a clone tool, and the clip art head put in its place.
This photo was then image wrapped around a cube in TC.
The cube had cutouts where the windows should be. The interior and the windows were both ACIS solids.
So as you can see from the attached wire frame drawing the whole thing only works from one viewpoint.
The interior of the shop was again based on one image but both half's of the interior were wrapped separately to produce the effect of one interior.
The windows were made with a glass material and again image wrapped separately to produce an individual reflection of a shop across the street. Sadly this didn't really show in the final render(and no reflected cars either ).
Final composition put together with paint.net.
The writing in the windows was created in TC using 3D text.
Forgot to mention that the final image was produced using two different antique adjustments and converting to sepia with PhotoScape.
Wow - that is an intense amount of work Dave.
Must have been someone else who recommended PhotoScape as I have never used it. I started with GIMP, went to Paint Shop Pro and now use Photoshop.
I have had a lot of good advice from a lot of people on this and the old forum so an honest mistake there.
Definitely a lot of work there, piecing it altogether. Very good work.
Fantastic image. The combination of Cad and Photo-editing was very succesful in this render.
Just nitpicking: The two little girls on the left could be a trifle darker. They stand out very light in this darker part of the image.
All in all, I would say: Bravo!
You're welcome to nitpick as much as you want to.
That's why I post my images.
As for darkening the little girls, I wouldn't have a clue how to do that.
Any tips on image editing will be gratefully received.
before that I had never used it.
If your little girls are on a separate layer - that is if your image-editing software supports layers - you simply select that layer and in the command structure find "Brightness and Contrast".
Simply move the brightness slider a little to the left or start typing values like -6 or -12. Just see what happens.
Sometimes reducing the contrast a little bit works good too for figures in the shadow.
Paint.net does have layer support so I may mess about with that image again at some point but at the moment I am working on something else.


Lately I've been saying that I get more out of mentoring these artists than they do from me. I'm sure it's true - they are such a diverse, talented, and inspiring group, and the things that I get to think about, the problems I get to help them solve, have taken me to the next level in every area of my art practice. I'm grateful.
Curious what art mentorship is all about? Visit my website for all the info - or my FAQ page here.
Well, I took a temporary hiatus from my Tarot card series - more like an eight-month "I think I'm done for good" type break - but, proving once again that you never know when it's the last time you'll do something - here's a new one.
The cards are: (In the box) The Tower, The Emperor, Page of Wands, Justice, and - front and center, The World. I chose to leave out the text/titles on the cards. I've included it in previous pieces, but felt like letting the images speak for themselves here.

Headphone Guide Pro
Headphone 101
What are the differences among in-ear, on-ear and over-ear headphones?
What is active noise canceling (ANC)? How active noise-cancelling headphone works?
How to use Samsung Galaxy Buds?
Noise canceling
Top 10 new features of AirPods Pro (vs AirPods 2)
You are here: Home / Archives for noise cancelling
AirPods Pro new features explained
wireless earbuds, Bluetooth headphones, noise cancelling headphones
AirPods Pro is the lastest wireless earbuds offered by Apple. It complements AirPods 2 in the high-end market with some useful new features.
This wireless earbuds guide explains the top 10 new features of AirPods Pro (compared to AirPods 2): active noise canceling (ANC), wireless charging, in-ear design, transparency mode, force sensor, adaptive EQ, Sweat and water resistance with IPX4 rating, ear tip test, secure fit, and a $249 price tag.
Please note, the direct competitor to AirPods Pro is Sony WF-1000XM3, which offers better noise canceling and better audio quality (at $229).
#1.Active noise canceling (ANC): the best new feature of AirPods Pro
As explained in this guide in detail, active noise canceling (ANC) uses special sound waves to cancel the ambient noise and therefore gives you immersive and quite listening experience.
Bose and Sony are the indisputable industrial leaders in ANC for consumer headphones. It is unclear whether Apple licensed some technology from third parties or developed their own ANC technology in-house.
If you compare AirPods Pro with Sony WF-1000XM3, Sony is a clear winner in most situations. Please do NOT compare AirPods Pro with the first generation of WF-1000, whose noise canceling was a failure.
Anyway, for many Apple users, ANC is probably new to them. They will enjoy this feature gradually.
Please note, if you want to get better ANC, you may consider an over-ear headphone, like Sony WH-1000XM3, Bose Quite 35, or Bose 700.
#2. Transparency mode
Transparency mode is the opposite of noise canceling. In this mode, you can hear clearly outside without removing the AirPods Pro from the ears.
You can use the force sensor (read on) to switch between noise canceling and transparency mode instantly.
In fact, all noise-canceling earbuds and headphones have this feature.
#3. New in-ear design
AirPods Pro now adopts the in-ear design (see this guide on the difference among in-ear, on-ear, and over-ear headphones). This means the tips are supposed to be sealed into your ear canal.
Unlike AirPods and AirPods 2, AirPods Pro will "stuff" your ears if you are new to in-ear buds. It may take you a few days to get used to it.
The advantages of the in-ear design include the better audio quality (by blocking some ambient noise) and secured in ears.
For some users, the AirPods Pro can be used as sports earbuds.
Anyway, the in-ear design … Read the rest
How does active (ANC) work? What is the difference between noise isolation (blocking) and noise-canceling?
noise cancelling headphones, Bluetooth headphones, Headphone 101, wireless earbuds
You need an active noise canceling headphone if you want to block the ambient low-frequency noise, like engine noise in the airplane. For example, AirPods Pro has ANC.
Active noise canceling (ANC) is different from noise blocking/isolating, which passively blocks both high and low-frequency noises.
This headphone guide explains what the active noise canceling (ANC) is and how the active noise canceling headphone works. It will not only help you understand ANC but also help you choose proper active noise-canceling headphones.
What is active noise canceling (ANC)?
Active noise canceling (ANC, aka active noise control) is a set of audio technologies that actively cancel the ambient noise.
Both the annoying noise and music reach your ear as sound waves transmitted through the air.
So, one simple way to reduce noise is to physically and passively block it. For example, there are many soundproofing materials and technologies.
In the airport, you may notice ground staff are wearing earmuffs to block the engine and other noises. In the shooting clubs, it is also common that earmuffs are used.
Active noise canceling (ANC), on the contrary, uses negative sound waves to actively cancel the noise.
This means ANC requires at least three components:
Power source. Active noise canceling (ANC) always requires a power source to detect and analysis noise and then generate a negative wave.
Noise detection. Normally, one or more microphones are used to sample the ambient sound.
Anti-noise sound wave generator. Once the ambient noise is sampled, an active noise canceling (ANC) system must generate an inverted (negative) sound wave (with similar amplitude) to cancel the low-frequency noise.
When the ambient noise is canceled, you will get a quieter environment for your music.
Active noise canceling (ANC) is still evolving, especially on how to sample ambient sound, how to analyze the sampled ambient sound, and eventually how to effectively cancel the low-frequency ambient noise in real-time.
Please note, active noise canceling (ANC) currently is most effective for low-frequency noise only.
Active noise canceling (ANC) vs passive noise blocking
As discussed earlier, noise can be "blocked" (passive) and/or "canceled" (active).
Most headphones, in-ear or on-ear or over-ear, can block certain ambient sounds. For example, some in-ear headphones are designed to seal the ambient sound. Of course, over-ear headphones usually can block more ambient sound.
For headphones, some manufacturers may also refer to noise-blocking as noise isolation.… Read the rest
The differences of in-ear, on-ear and over-ear headphones are explained. The guide also shows you when you should get an in-ear headphone, when to get an on-ear headphone, and when to get an over-ear headphone.
Normally, headphones are classified as in-ear, on-ear, and over-ear based on their sizes and ways of wearing.
This headphone guide explains the differences in size and sound quality among these 3 types of headphones. Then we explain whether you should get an in-ear, on-ear, and over-ear headphones to meet your needs (and comfort).
Why do you need to know the differences among in-ear, on-ear and over-ear headphones?
When buying a new headphone, the first question you need to ask yourself is what "size" of the headphone should be.
In the market, there are roughly 3 types of headphones based on their sizes (both wired headphones and Bluetooth headphones):
in-ear headphone (aka earphone, or earbud);
on-ear headphone; and
over-ear headphone.
The differences among in-ear, on-ear and over-ear headphones are NOT just about the size.
Quite often, certain type of headphone may be better than others for special group of users (e.g. people with glass), or better for special occasions (e.g., for running).
So, it is important to know the differences among in-ear, on-ear and over-ear headphones to get the headphone that is most suitable for you when you plan to get a new headphone.
Size matters: the obvious difference among in-ear, on-ear and over-ear headphones
In-ear headphone, aka earbud or earphone, is the smallest among the three. For example, Samsung Galaxy Buds, AirPods, AirPods Pro, Jabra Elite Sport are all in-ear wireless earbuds.
Because of the small driver (aka transducer), a unit that converts an electrical signal into sound (air pressure), in-ear headphone is small enough to fit inside your ears.
The on-ear headphone usually uses larger drivers. But the padding is not large enough to cover your ears. Instead, the headphone sits on your ears without fully covering them.
The over-ear headphone has a large enough padding to cover your ear. Manufactures can put larger drivers in over-ear headphones thanks to the additional space.
Sound quality difference among in-ear, on-ear and over-ear headphones
When sound quality is concerned, size is NOT the major factor.
Many headphone buyers have the wrong impression: the bigger driver means better sound quality. This is wrong.
Large drivers generally can boost high volume (louder) with higher capacity for the bass. But unlike the volume or bass, the sound quality (audio quality) is NOT simply determined by the driver size.
For all headphones, sound quality (audio quality) … Read the rest

EdTech Evangelism: Where are Coding Evangelists Leading Us?
Posted in 21st Century Learning, Coding, Computer Science, Ed-Tech Innovations, New Pedagogies, TED Talks, tagged 21st Century Skills, Brian Aspinall, Code Breaker, Coding, Computational Thinking, Discovery Learning, EdTech Evangelism, Explicit Instruction, HRCEID2018, Janette M. Wing, Mindstorms, Seymour Papert on November 5, 2018| 16 Comments »
"Wow!," "Fantastic," and "Inspirational"were words that filled the Twitter feed coming out of the latest Halifax Regional Centre for Education (HRCE) Innovation in Teaching Day (#HRCEID2018), held November 2 and 3, 2018. The primary cause of the frenzied excitement was a keynote talk by Brian Aspinall, author of the edtech best-seller Code Breaker, a teacher's guide to training-up a class of "coder ninjas." The former Ontario Grade 7 and 8 teacher from Essex County honed his presentation skills at TEDx Talks in Chatham and Kitchener and is now the hottest speaker on the Canadian edtech professional development circuit.
Mr. Aspinall, the #CodeBreaker, is a very passionate, motivational speaker with a truly amazing social media following. He built his first website in the 1990s before graduating from Harrow District High School, earned his B.Sc. and B.Ed. at the University of Windsor, and learned the teaching craft in the local Windsor Essex school system. In 2016, he won a Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence in STEM. Watching him in action on You Tube, it's obvious that he's a real showman and fairly typical of a new breed of North American edtech evangelists.
Like many edtech visionaries, Aspinall experienced an epiphany, in his case while teaching his Grade 8 class. "Someone brought to my attention that every grade 8 in our building was born in 2000 or 2001, " he recalls. "You could hear the brain matter shift, turn, implode and explode in my head. I had never thought of it like that. My mind was blown." Then Aspinall remembered: "I have only taught in the 21st century…went to university in the 21st century! And I've been teaching for nine years now!!"
Edtech evangelists like Aspinall have multiplied rapidly in the 2000s as provincial and school district authorities have pursued a succession of "21st century skills" initiatives. The leading motivational speakers, closely aligned with Google, Microsoft, or Pearson PLC, develop their own personalized brands and can be very persuasive engaging users without any overt marketing. The first and perhaps best known 21st century skills evangelist was Guy Kawasaki, the marketing genius who launched Apple Macintosh in 1984 and the one who popularized the use of the word "evangelist" to describe this marketing approach. The TED Talks back list is not only edtech dominated, but a 'who's who' of ed tech evangelism.
Aspinall is an open book and connected almost 24/7, judging from his personal MrApsinall.com Blog and rapid-fire Twitter feed. With 60,400 tweets to his credit, @mraspinall has amassed 40,900 followers and recorded 43,100 likes. Reading his tweets, it's abundantly clear that he's an unabashed educational constructivist who firmly believes in student-centred, minimal guidance, discovery learning.
Speaking on stage, Aspinall has a messianic, 21st century cool presentation style. "I'm on a mission to expose as many kids as possible to coding and computer science, " he declared in June 2016 at TEDx KitchenerED. That's popular in provinces like Nova Scotia and British Columbia where coding is being implemented in elementary schools — and where teachers are hungry for classroom-ready activities. He's filling a need, particularly among teachers in the early grades with little or no background or training in mathematics, science or computer science.
What's contentious about the edtech evangelists is their rather uncritical acceptance of constructivist pedagogy and utopian belief that "students learn by doing' and require minimal teacher guidance. A few, like Brian Aspinall, are ideologues who believe that "knowledge is readily available" on the Internet, so teachers should reject teaching content knowledge and, instead, "teach and model an inquiry approach to learning."
Aspinall's educational philosophy deserves more careful scrutiny. In his teaching guide and TEDx Talks, he embraces a distinctly "21st century learning" paradigm. In his 2016 TEDx talk "Hacking the classroom," he distills his philosophy down to four "hacks" or principles: 1) focus on content creation; 2) embrace failure so kids take risks; 3) free up time and avoid time-limited tests/assignments; and 4) embrace the "process of learning" rather than the pursuit of knowledge-based outcomes.
Those principles may sound familiar because they are among the first principles of not only constructivist thinking on education, but the corporate movement driving "21st century learning" and its latest mutation, "personalized learning" enabled by computer software and information technology. In the case of Aspinall, he's clearly an educational disciple of the late Seymour Papert, the MIT professor who invented "logo" programming and championed 'discovery learning' in mathematics and science. If Aspinall has a catechism, it is to be found in Papert's 1993 classic, Mindstorms: Children, Computers and Powerful Ideas.
Aspinall has also latched onto the writings of Janette M. Wing, chair of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. One of his favourite axioms, quoted regularly, is extracted from Wing: "Computational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone, not just for computer scientists." She goes further: "To reading, writing and arithmetic, we should add computational thinking to every child's analytical ability." Indeed, like Wing, Aspinall sees "coding" as a way of teaching mathematics in a more holistic curriculum.
EdTech evangelists such as Aspinall stir interest in learning coding, but fall into the trap of assuming that constructivism works in every class, irrespective of class composition, size, or capabilities. Utopian conceptions of teaching and learning bequeathed by Papert are now being seriously challenged by evidence-based research. Classroom conditions and student management concerns conspire to limit the applicability of "makerspace learning" and teachers rarely have the resources to make it work in practice.
More fundamentally, Papert's model of "minimal guidance" has been effectively challenged by Paul A . Kirschner, John Sweller and Richard E. Clark (2006). "Prior knowledge, " they found, is essential in providing the "internal guidance" required in truly learning something. High quality, engaging and explicit instruction is necessary, in most instances, to 'bootstrap" learning, While personal exploration is useful, the most effective teaching and learning approach combines teacher guidance with exploration woven into a child's education.
Teachers dazzled by Aspinall's presentations are most likely immersed in edtech culture. Computer software apps and tools such as "Makey Makey" and "Scratch" are bound to make teaching easier for educators and more pleasurable for students. Few question Aspinall's promotion of Tynker coding programs or his corporate affiliation as a "Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert Fellow." In his TEDx Talks, he is quite open about his admiration for Microsoft philosophy. "Microsoft believes every child should be exposed to coding," he tells audiences. "Because you don't know you like broccoli until you try it." While he's not pedaling 21st century 'snake oil,' such statements do raise suspicions.
Why have edtech evangelists come to dominate the '21st century skills' professional development circuit? What explains the popularity of, and excitement generated by, TED Talk edtech speakers such as Brian Aspinall? Is coding emerging as the "4th R" of 21st century learning and what's its impact upon the teaching of mathematics in the early grades? Should we be more leery of champions of coding who see it as a way of introducing "computational thinking" throughout the elementary years?

All Finns in Japan Accounted For
March 15, 2011 March 14, 2011 - by Bjarne Wildau - Leave a Comment
All Finnish citizens who were in Japan on Friday when the country was hit by a powerful earthquake and tsunami have been accounted for. A list maintained by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finnish citizens in Japan originally had more than 800 names, some of whom had actually left Japan before the disaster. The ministry says that all of the Finns that have been reached are doing well under the circumstances.
The Foreign Ministry was contacted by many Finns during the weekend who had not been able to reach their relatives in Japan. There had been no reports of Finns who might have been hurt in what has been called the worst disaster to hit Japan since the Second World War.
Three Finns were known to be in the city of Sendai, which was worst affected by the disaster. Two of them are employees of the Finnish export promotion organisation Finpro, and the third is the spouse of one of the other two.
All three spent their nights at the Finpro office, says the organisation's spokeswoman Outi Torniainen.
Torniainen says that all three hope to travel to Tokyo by car on Monday. However, motorways are closed, and only small roads are available. The area is also affected by a growing shortage of fuel.
Local officials in Sendai gave people there instructions that were published on the city's website on Sunday.
Residents were urged to avoid coastal areas in case of aftershocks and new tsunamis.
People left homeless have been brought to the city hall, and those taking refuge are being instructed to use disinfectant and to wear face masks.
Food and other aid supplies are arriving in the city, but are still in short supply. Shop owners are being urged to keep their businesses open. Many of the area's hospitals appear to be operating, but residents are urged to avoid unnecessary visits.
Gas supplies have been cut off, and half a million households are without water.
The Finnish authorities were at pains to ascertain quickly the whereabouts of all Finnish citizens possibly in the region, not least in order to avoid the confusion that followed the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, when it was several days before it emerged that as many as 200 Finnish holidaymakers, most of them in the Thai resoort of Khao Lak, had lost their lives.
New procedures were put in place for contacting citizens abroad in time of crisis, after much criticism of handling of the disaster by Finnish officials.

Remembering Andrew Sachs Funniest Moments As Manuel
By : Jennifer Browne On : 02 Dec 2016 08:26
Actor Andrew Sachs, most famous for playing bumbling waiter Manuel in Fawlty Towers, has died.
The actor, best known for playing hapless Spanish waiter Manuel in John Cleese's sitcom, passed away in a care home last week, his wife has revealed. He died at the age of 86, after a four year battle with dementia.
Melody Sachs, who cared for him in his final years, disclosed he had suffered vascular dementia, losing his capacity to speak and write in later life. She said: "He had the best life, and the best death you could ever have."
His catchphrase, 'I know nothing', and Basil Fawlty's (played by John Cleese) dismissive 'he's from Barcelona' have gone down in British comedy history.
And while Sachs may have been best known for the well-meaning but inept Spanish waiter, it was just one role in seven decades of acting that spanned comedy, dramatic, and classical roles.
Born in 1930 Germany, Sachs fled the Nazis with his family in 1938 and eventually settled in North London.
He met and Married Melody, who starred in one episode of Fawlty Towers herself, in 1960, before going on to have three children.
He went on to appear in The Saint, Randall, Hopkirk, and The History of Miss Polly, with a guest appearance in Casualty and Doctor Who.
He worked into his 80s, when he appeared in a live tour of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere.
His work was introduced to the new generation in October 2008 when he was thrust into the news after Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand made a prank call to the actor on the radio, with Ross shouting out that Brand 'fucked your granddaughter'. They left three further, equally offensive messages. Unsurprisingly, the incident was branded as 'vile'.
Since news of his death broke late last night, tributes from the film industry have been pouring in:
Just heard about Andy Sachs. Very sad….
I knew he was having problems with his memory as his wife Melody told me a couple of years ago…
— John Cleese (@JohnCleese) December 1, 2016
…and I heard very recently that he had been admitted to Denham Hall,but I had no idea that his life was in danger. A very sweet gentle…
…and kind man and a truly great farceur.I first saw him in Habeas Corpus on stage in 1973.I could not have found a better Manuel. Inspired
God Bless Mr Andrew Sachs. Worked with you in a movie as a kid. You were a great actor and a gentleman. RIP

Melody Sachs, who cared for Andrew in his final years, disclosed he had suffered vascular dementia, losing his capacity to speak and write in later life, the Telegraph reports.
Melody, who was married to Sachs for 57 years, said:
I never once heard him grumble. It wasn't all doom and gloom, he still worked for two years.
We were happy, we were always laughing, we never had a dull moment. He had dementia for four years and we didn't really notice it at first until the memory started going.
She added:
It didn't get really bad until quite near the end. I nursed Andrew, I was there for every moment of it.
Don't feel sorry for me because I had the best life with him. I had the best husband and we really loved each other.
You'll be missed, Andrew Sachs.

Obama Honors New Citizen Service Members at White House
By: Lisa Daniel
Source: American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, DC – Twenty-five U.S. service members filed through the White House East Room today in dress uniforms, proudly displaying their service and sacrifices to America, and took their citizenship oath before their commander-in-chief. They were among more than 4,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who became U.S. citizens during Independence Day ceremonies also held at U.S. military installations in Kandahar, Afghanistan; Seoul, South Korea; Las Vegas; Miami; Tegucigalpa, Honduras; and San Diego.
President Barack Obama listens as Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano administers the Oath of Allegiance during a military naturalization ceremony for active duty service members in the East Room of the White House, July 4, 2012. White House Photo by Pete Souza
Obama said it brought him "great joy and inspiration" to conduct the ceremony on America's 236th birthday. "It reminds us that we are a country that is bound together not simply by ethnicity or blood lines, but by fidelity to a set of ideas," he said. "As members of our military, you raised your hand and took an oath of service," he continued. "It is an honor for me to serve as your commander-in-chief. Today, you raised your hand and have taken an oath of citizenship. And I could not be prouder to be among the first to greet you as 'my fellow Americans."
Obama addressed the service members and their families in a late morning ceremony as White House staff prepared for an evening barbecue for military members and their families that will include viewing the annual Fourth of July fireworks over the Washington Monument. The president noted various evolution's throughout the nation's history, and pointed out that what began as "a ragtag army of militias and regulars" has become "the finest military that the world has ever known."
The service members arrived in America in different ways some as children, and some as adults, Obama noted. "All of you did something profound," he said. "You chose to serve. You put on the uniform of a country that was not yet fully your own. In a time of war some of you deployed into harm's way. You displayed the values that we celebrate every Fourth of July: duty, responsibility and patriotism."
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro Mayorkas presided over the White House ceremony, and noted that he was a refugee who became a naturalized U.S. citizen. "These 25 exceptional individuals took an oath to support and defend the Constitution before sharing fully in the rights and opportunities it provides," he said. "We are all inspired by their commitment to freedom and service to preserve our great nation."
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano delivered the Oath of Allegiance. "Today, you have earned all the rights and responsibilities that come with being a citizen of the United States," she said. "America is now your country. You have worked so hard to get here. You should be just as proud of this achievement as I am to call you my fellow citizen."
More than 80,000 U.S. service members have become American citizens since 2001, Napolitano said. "Our nation thanks you for your service," she told the new citizens. "We owe the freedoms we all enjoy to the sacrifices of men and women like you."
The Homeland Security Department is working with the Defense Department to expand a process that began in 2009 to offer non-citizen enlistees the opportunity to become naturalized citizens before completing basic training "so that they can graduate as naturalized citizens," Napolitano said. "We will continue to do all that we can to expedite the naturalization process for those like you who have sacrificed so much," she added.
Army Spc. Oluwatosin Akinduro immigrated to Houston from Lagos, Nigeria, with his parents when he was 6. He said he is the first in his family to become a U.S. citizen and that he hopes to lead by example, both in the military and in his personal life. "My family is very proud of me today," he said. "I'm a little nervous, speechless. This is something I'm doing for myself and my family."
After graduating from high school, Akinduro played football for Rutgers University in New Jersey and hoped to play professionally. When that goal wasn't realized, he said, he joined the Army and plans to make it his career. "I have my head up, my chest out, and I'm just so proud of what I'm doing," he said. I come from a very proud background. I don't believe in fear too much. With my background, I always believed I could do anything I put my mind to."
Alpha Phi Alpha Members Honored with the Congressional Gold Medal
Source: BlackNews.Com
Baltimore, MD — Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity's 26th General President Dr. Ozell Sutton and former Executive Secretary Brother James Huger along with the remaining living members of the Montford Point Marines were honored with the Congressional Gold Medal, June 27, 2012 at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC. Both Brother Sutton and Brother Huger were given the Congressional Gold Medal presented by President Barack Obama, saluting them for being among the first blacks to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps, the last branch of the U.S. military to allow blacks to serve.
The Montford Point Marines were relegated to the worst part of Camp Lejuene. Their barrel metal barracks were a conduit for the Southern heat and was infested with snakes and mosquitoes. They were not allowed to venture into the "white" part of the camp. When they went to war most of them were assigned guard duties at supply depots in the South Pacific. On several occasions these depots were attacked by the enemy; including a bomb launched into their campsite.
They went to war, fought and worked for their country, but returned only to be treated like second-class citizens. Like the Tuskegee Airmen, many of them took up the civil rights movement as a new way to fight for their country and fight for their people. They were among the first to join the sit-ins at lunch counters and helped to organize voter registration and protests across the South.
Brothers Sutton and Huger join a long list of Alpha Brothers in being the "first" to open the doors of opportunity from which many have walked through and benefited. Other Brothers include former Sen. Edward Brooke (R-Mass.), Justice Thurgood Marshall, Congressman Adam Clayton Powell (D-NY), and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to name a few. Alpha is proud to have several Brothers currently serving in the 112th Congress and Senate: Emanuel Cleaver, II (MO), Charles B. Rangel (NY), Danny K. Davis (IL), Chaka Fattah (PA), Al Green (TX), Gregory Meeks (NY), David Scott (GA) and Robert C. Scott (VA).
Founded on December 4, 1906 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity has continued to supply voice and vision to the struggle of African-Americans and people of color around the world. The fraternity serves the community through its nearly a thousand college and alumni chapters in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean.

Nevada OSHA completes investigation into worker's death in Nye County
An investigation into the Nye County death of a Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project subcontractor's employee didn't yield any violations or citations, according to the documents provided by Nevada's Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
By Daria Sokolova Pahrump Valley Times
David Jacobs/Pahrump Valley Times The Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigated the death of a contractor worker outside of Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project in Tonopah.
Brandon Carpowich, of Henderson, who died on June 16 as a result of an electrical accident, was an employee of Brahma Group. Officials said Carpowich was found deceased at about 4 p.m. in the laydown yard of the solar facility, according to the documents.
The employee who found Carpowich said that Carpowich was lying on his back and was unresponsive. The victim also had burns on his hands, arms and chest.
According to the documents, OSHA didn't find any violations and no citations were proposed as a result of the inspection following the accident.
The OSHA report said that the evidence suggested that Carpowich "was engaged in fractal wood burning, using electricity to burn wood to create art."
A wooden box with a transformer inside was located on a temporary power distribution box, while jumper cables were laying on the ground adjacent to the power distribution box, according to the documents.
"There was no evidence that identified or suggested that the employer knew or should have known, that (his employee) was engaging in fractal wood burning at the solar facility," the document said.
Clay Stanaland, construction manager at Brahma Group, said in the report that the victim didn't have any work tasks assigned to him the day of the accident.
Stanaland also said that it was "not uncommon for a couple of days to go by without any work orders to complete." Stanaland also said that he didn't see Carpowich engaged in fractal wood burning the day of the accident or anytime in the past.
Kerry Preece, an electrical foreman at Brahma, however, stated in the report that he did see Carpowich engaged in fractal wood burning two days before the accident. Preece said that he didn't let anyone in management know what he saw.
Brahma Group is a Salt Lake City-based mechanical industrial company with projects around the country, according to its website. The company is a subcontractor on Crescent Dunes that has been performing maintenance and repair at the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project.
SolarReserve, parent of the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project, previously said that the victim was found deceased in a workshop area near the Brahma construction trailers, which are at the site boundary, outside of the Crescent Dunes facility area.
OSHA's papers said that the case was closed on Sept. 20.
The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project is 15 miles north of Tonopah.
The Pahrump Valley Times left a message seeking comment from SolarReserve over the weekend.

Suit: Cops killed autistic teen by sitting on him, chokehold
Janet Mcconnaughey, Associated Press
Updated 4:28 pm CST, Thursday, January 14, 2021
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Sheriff's deputies in a New Orleans suburb sat on a shackled, obese, severely autistic 16-year-old boy for nine minutes and put a chokehold on him for part of that time until he died, according to a federal lawsuit filed Thursday against the sheriff and seven deputies in the death last year.
The sheriff's office described the lawsuit as "rife with false claims and malicious accusations."
Its statement did not mention specific "false claims" but said the youth had mental conditions that made him violent, and deputies were called because he had attacked his father. They "tried to control the violent teenager's outbursts to prevent him from again attacking his parents and first responders," it said.
The suit, filed in New Orleans by Donna Lou and her husband, Daren Parsa, says they had to watch as their only child, Eric Parsa, suffocated in a shopping center parking lot in suburban Metairie on Jan. 19, 2020. The allegations in the lawsuit include excessive force and violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
"We are private people ... but we understand that sharing Eric's story is the only way to bring change," Lou said, weeping as she read a statement during a news conference on Zoom. Because she and her husband are witnesses, they could not answer questions, attorneys said.
Eric regularly played laser tag, which he enjoyed. But after the Jan. 19, 2020, session at the Metairie strip mall, he went into a "melt-down" and began slapping himself and slapping and grabbing his father, biting his father hard enough to draw blood, according to the lawsuit.
It said the laser tag manager called in Chad Pitfield, a sheriff's office reserve deputy who was providing security for the complex, Westgate Shopping Center, telling him the "adult child" was autistic. When on duty for the sheriff's department itself, reserve deputies are unpaid volunteers.
Deputies called to help Pitfield also were told that Eric Parsa was severely autistic, attorneys said.
"Our position is that techniques and actions by the sheriff's department would have been inappropriate in any circumstances," said attorney Howard Manis.
He said Eric Parsa's disability "only exacerbates how egregious the conduct by the sheriff's department was."
Both obesity and autism make breathing more difficult when someone's face-down, the lawsuit said.
According to the lawsuit, a "seriously overweight" Pitfield had little difficulty getting Erica Parsa prone. The deputy weighed 365 pounds (165 kilograms) and stood 6 feet 3 inches (1.9 meters) when he applied to the sheriff's department in 2007, it noted.
Pitfield then sat on the teen's rear end for about seven minutes, after which another deputy "took his place on E.P.'s back side," the lawsuit said.
It said eventually seven deputies were "sitting on, handcuffing, shackling, holding down, or standing by E.P. as he was restrained and held face down on his stomach against the hard surface of the parking lot."
He was held there for 9 minutes and 6 seconds, the lawsuit said. During that time, according to the suit, "there were several clear and distinct opportunities, when E.P. was secured, was calm, was not actively resisting," when deputies should have but didn't "appropriately reduce the use of force."
It said the second deputy atop Parsa raised the teen's cuffed hands above his head and also put a chokehold on him.
When that deputy was trading places with a third, they noticed that Parsa had gone limp, according to the suit. At that point, Parsa was rolled onto his side. "By then it was too late. E.P. was dying," the lawsuit said.
Until then, nobody was checking to see whether Parsa could breathe, and he wasn't put on his side or a sitting or "recovery" position to let him breathe more easily, the lawsuit said.
Deputies tried CPR but did it wrong, pressing on Parsa's belly rather than his breastbone, according to the suit.
Lou told the deputies she was a doctor and offered to help with CPR, but the deputies "told her to stay back and let them do their job," the suit said, adding the parents watched as their son turned blue, foamed at the mouth and was dying.
An ambulance then took the boy to a hospital, the lawsuit said, and a nurse later called to tell the couple their son's heart had stopped, according to the suit.
The parish coroner ruled the death accidental, "as a result of Excited Delirium" with his obesity and "Prone Positioning" among contributing factors, the lawsuit said. But it added: "E.P. did not die of 'excited delirium' and his death was not accidental."
The sheriff's office's statement said, "While the Sheriff's Office understands that all deaths are cause for sadness and a time for grieving, this lawsuit is rife with false claims and malicious accusations against the first responding deputies."

Campion Day 2020
Today we celebrate the Campion Day Mass. This year, we are unable to be together as a school community today, but everyone is taking part spiritually from their Playrooms. It is wonderful to share this special liturgy with the wider Stonyhurst Family through technology.
Campion Day has been celebrated here at Stonyhurst since 1886 - the year when Edmund Campion was made a saint. Part of this tradition is the procession of the relics to the altar of St Peter's Church by the Heads of the Line.
Here is the reliquary which contains the rope which tied Edmund Campion to the wicker hurdle which dragged him from the Tower of London to Tyburn on 1 December 1581 to be executed for his Catholic faith and for being a Jesuit Priest.
The rope was smuggled out of England to Rome, where it was presented to Robert Persons SJ who became the Founder of the English College in St Omers – now Stonyhurst. His picture takes pride of place in the Top Ref. The rope clearly meant a great deal to Persons, as he wore it around his waist until he died in 1610. From that point it has been associated with St Omers College and thereafter with Stonyhurst.
These are the words of Campion himself from 1581, the year he was executed:
'I have no more to say but to recommend your case and mine to Almighty God,
the Searcher of Hearts,
who send us his grace,
and see us at accord before the day of payment,
to the end we may at last be friends in heaven,
when all injuries shall be forgotten.'
Let's get acquainted...

Pyongyang launched its second intercontinental ballistic missile late on 28 July from Mupyong-ni, a previously-unknown location.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has said that his latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test has only proved his regime's ability to strike "all of the US" and that it is a "stern warning" to American President Donald Trump and China.
North Korea launched its second ICBM late on Friday (28 July), which flew for over 45 minutes, travelled about 1,000km (620 miles) and reached an altitude of 3,724km (2,300 miles), before accurately falling in the waters off Japan. The launch was personally supervised by Kim, state media reports say.
The reclusive country warned that the US would not be able escape destruction if it provokes or attempts to strike North Korea, Pyongyang's official KCNA said on Saturday (29 July).
The latest test only reconfirms the North's ability to make a surprise launch "at any place and time", the news agency added.
"It clearly proved that the whole US mainland is in the firing range of the DPRK [North Korea's official name] missile," Kim reportedly said "with pride" as he praised the men who developed the missile, according to KCNA.
Friday's launch came three weeks after Pyongyang's first ICBM test on 3 July. North Korea said it once again fired a Hwasong-14, which was the same model it launched earlier this month.
President Donald Trump denounced the test as "only the latest reckless and dangerous action by the North Korean regime". He rejected the isolated country's claims that such tests only helped ensure its security in the face of severe warnings from the US, South Korea, Japan and China to rein in the belligerent regime.
China's foreign ministry has also condemned the ICBM test and urged all relevant parties to exercise restraint "and avoid intensifying tensions", BBC reported.
New York within the North's range?
An analysis by Melissa Hanham, Senior Research Associate in the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, for the BBC said, New York may well be in the range of a North Korean ICBM missile.
"Since this missile is road-mobile, a launch from the north-eastern city of Rason would put New York City in range of the ICBM," she noted.
Hanham also highlighted the change of the missile launch site this time and the unusual time it chose to fire the projectile. North Korea has usually carried out missile launches during the day, local time.
Friday's launch was carried out from Mupyong-ni site in Jagang province, a location it has never fired missiles from. It only indicates that the country has been secretly keeping its previously-unknown launch site operational, the BBC said.
Hanham also noted that it is a possibility that Pyongyang is trying to confuse observers by launching missiles around midnight or by setting up multiple launch sites.
According to David Wright, a missile expert at the Union of Concerned Scientists, even other major cities like Los Angeles, Denver, Boston and Chicago will fall fell within North Korea's striking range, CNN reported. It because the latest missile is more advanced compared to the one Pyongyang launched on 3 July.
The latest launch came a day after Pyongyang celebrated the anniversary of the end of the Korean War, which it calls "Victory Day".
Pyongyang is known to time its missile tests with symbolic dates. The first ICBM test was launched a day before the American Independence Day on 4 July.
South Korea on Saturday (29 July) announced that it would deploy four additional units of the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (Thaad) after Pyongyang's latest launch. The move was initially delayed after South Korean President Moon Jae-in had ordered a review over its deployment.
Seoul says it has already informed China about the move as Beijing has long been strongly opposing the deployment of the anti-missile defence system.
The US and South Korea conducted a joint military drill, firing a barrage of missiles in a show of force after North Korea's ICBM test. The joint military exercises involved two US Army Tactical Missile systems and two Hyunmoo II missiles that were fired into "territorial waters of South Korea along the East Coast", soon after Pyongyang fired its missile, Reuters reported the US Army as saying.

Suicide Bomber Destroys Pakistani Mosque; at least 48 Killed
PAKISTAN - VIOLENCE: Pakistani officials say a suicide bomber has turned a crowded mosque into a heap of rubble, killing at least 48 people. Pakistanis are pulling bodies out of what is left of the mosque in the town of Jamrud, near the Afghan border. Pakistani officials say the attack came while the mosque was filled with people for Friday prayers. Officials say dozens of people have been injured. The bombing is the latest violence to strike Pakistan's northwestern Khyber region, where al Qaida and Taliban militants are active.
US - AFGHANISTAN: U.S. officials say President Barack Obama will send even more troops to Afghanistan and increase aid and diplomatic pressure in Pakistan as part of a new strategy to destroy al-Qaida and its allies. An administration official said a key goal of the strategy is to eliminate al-Qaida safe havens in Pakistan and prevent the terror group's leadership from moving back to Afghanistan. The official said Mr. Obama will announce on Friday he is sending 4,000 additional troops to train Afghan forces, in addition to the 17,000 troop increase already announced.
NOKOR - NUCLEAR: Japan says it has authorized its military to shoot down dangerous debris or intercept a rocket North Korea will soon launch into space if it looks like it will fall on Japanese territory. Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada announced the order Friday after a meeting of Japan's Security Council in Tokyo. Officials say Japan is expected to move several (PAC-3) land-to-air missiles to its northern coast, as well as deploy two (SM-3) sea-to-air missiles to nearby waters later Friday. North Korea says it plans to launch a communications satellite between April 4th and April 8th.
PHILIPPINES - KIDNAPPING: The Philippine government says it is ready to withdraw some of its security forces deployed near a hideout of Islamist extremists who are holding three kidnapped Red Cross workers hostage. The (Abu Sayyaf) rebels have threatened to behead one of their hostages if security forces do not withdraw from the southern Philippine island of Jolo by the end of this month. Philippine Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno says the government is considering pulling back police and civilian defense forces from the area, in an effort to save the lives of the hostages.
BURMA - DEMOCRACY: The head of Burma's ruling military junta has issued a warning for political parties running in next year's national elections. Senior General Than Shwe told the parties Friday to avoid personal attacks and smear campaigns against each other, and "refrain from inciting unrest." He also said democracy in Burma is in a "fledgling stage" which requires "patient care and attention." The scheduled elections are part of the junta's so-called "roadmap to democracy," which critics say is a sham process that only serves to entrench the military's grip on power.
CHINA - DISEASE: China's Health Ministry spokesman says the highly contagious hand, foot and mouth disease has already killed 18 children in China this year and infected nearly 42,000 others. Speaking with reporters Friday, Deng Haihua said the situation is serious and that a peak period for the disease would come between May and June. Deng held the press conference to address widespread concerns about the disease's spread. Deng says 94 percent of those suffering from the disease are under the age of five and that one-fifth of the cases are in the eastern province of Shandong and in Henan province, located in central China.
INDONESIA - FLOODS: Officials in Indonesia say 50 people have been killed after a dam outside the capital of Jakarta burst and flooded a residential neighborhood. The dam, which held back the waters of Lake Situ Gintung from a section of the Tangerang District, broke early Friday after several hours of heavy rain. The head of the Health Ministry's crisis center says hundreds of homes are underwater. Television footage showed residents frantically trying to evacuate from the neighborhood while wading through water that had reached up to their chests.
US - FLOODS: Authorities in (the midwestern U.S. city/state of) Fargo, North Dakota have evacuated residents from a neighborhood after a significant leak was found in a dike under pressure from rising floodwaters. A mandatory evacuation order was issued early Friday morning for 150 homes south of downtown Fargo. Officials said there was no immediate danger of the dike collapsing, but issued the order as a precautionary measure. Emergency workers, National Guard troops and volunteers have been working feverishly to construct makeshift dikes in a last ditch attempt to hold the rising waters of the Red River at bay.

L'Associazione micologica Bresadola (in breve AMB), è la principale associazione micologica italiana, che raggruppa sodalizi dislocati lungo tutto il territorio nazionale.

Storia

Il 7 dicembre 1957, a Trento, fu costituita con il nome "Gruppo micologico Giacomo Bresadola", in onore del micologo e abate, mons. Giacomo Bresadola (1847-1929).
Nel 1987, dopo trenta anni dalla fondazione, il Gruppo Micologico G. Bresadola ha assunto il nome di "Associazione micologica Bresadola".

Organigramma

L'AMB è retta da un consiglio di amministrazione composto da 11 membri, che restano in carica per quattro anni e sono rieleggibili. Il consiglio elegge tra i suoi membri il presidente, il vicepresidente, il segretario e i tesorieri. Nel 2022, i soci iscritti sono circa 10.000 e sono raggruppati in oltre 128 gruppi locali distribuiti sul territorio.

L'attuale consiglio direttivo, entrato in carica nel 2022 è così composto: Karl Kob (presidente), Adriano De Angelis (vicepresidente), Anna Maria Marini (tesoriere), Gianfranco Visentin (segretario); Carlo Papetti (direttore del Centro studi micologici); Nicolò Oppicelli (direttore responsabile Funghi & Dintorni); Giovanni Consiglio (direttore Rivista di Micologia); Emanuele Campo, Luigi Cocchi, Giovanni Schirinzi, Carlo Zovadelli.

Finalità

Gli obiettivi dell'Associazione sono quelli di raggruppare tutte le persone interessate alla micologia ed alla conoscenza e conservazione del patrimonio botanico e ambientale, con particolare riferimento al campo micologico.

Attività editoriale

L'AMB pubblica una serie di riviste predisposte e revisionate dal comitato scientifico del Centro studi micologici. Dal 1957 viene editata Rivista di Micologia, semestrale che contiene articoli di micologia più marcatamente a stampo scientifico, segnalazioni e descrizioni di nuove specie scoperte; dal 1994 la testata annuale Pagine di Micologia e dal 2018 la rivista divulgativa quadrimestrale Funghi & Dintorni, rivolta al pubblico neofita con trattazione di argomenti micologico-naturalistici di base.

Oltre alle riviste periodiche, negli anni l'associazione ha contribuito alla pubblicazione di importanti volumi e monografie, dall'elevato valore scientifico e prestigio internazionale, fra le quali la monografia a cura di Mauro Sarnari sul genere Russula (1998), la monografia sulle Clavariaceae a cura di Paolo Franchi e Mauro Marchetti (2021), le pubblicazioni sul genere Cortinarius (2000-2009) a cura di Giovanni Consiglio; le monografie sul genere Mycena ed una serie importante di opere fondamentali per lo studio della micologia in Italia ed Europa.

Vote 2014: Invest for the Future
Election Results: Some Good News for the Environment
On October 27th Torontonians elected a new Mayor and 7 new Councillors. 37 Councillors who served on the last City Council were re-elected. The good news is that a majority of the new Council has shown support for building a Greener City for All.
Compared to 2010, the great news is that Toronto elected a Mayor who cares about the environment. John Tory has a clear commitment to act on a majority of TEA's environmental priorities. Torontonians also elected 19 Councillors who made a commitment to move forward on three quarters of our Green Action Agenda.
That's 20 votes for the environment. Add 3 returning Councillors who have a good record on voting for the environment (but didn't fill out our Green Action Agenda Survey), and we have a majority of votes over the next 4 years to help implement our environmental priorities.
Of course saying you are going to do something is not the same as actually doing it. That's why TEA has already begun developing tools for Torontonians to help us encourage our newly elected Councillors and Mayor to fulfill the promises they made to build a Greener City for All.
As we've learned, a healthy democracy isn't just about voting every four years. It's also about connecting with your elected officials and letting them know what you expect of them. TEA will make sure you can do that effectively and easily. Stay tuned.
